The main purpose of this research is to map out White Crime situation in novel 'The Da Vinci Code' by Dan Brown. White Crime is a newly introduced term by this study that stands for crime that is covered by manipulation and illusion of goodness. To achieve its purpose, the current research focuses to carry out the plot of white crime. The data are analyzed through several progresses. Firstly, sentences of data are decoded by pragmatic analysis of meaning. Secondly, narrative structuralism is used to structure plot and role-players of white crime scenario. The result shows that there are 15 data found, divided in 2 scenarios of white crime. The first scenario is Vatican's effort to eliminate pagan religions This scenario describes how Vatican Church was manipulating people to believe that pagans are evil, by degrading and shifting meaning of pagan symbols. The second scenario is Leigh Teabing's effort to capture The Holy Grail. This scenario describes how Teabing perfectly fooled many sides to get him closer to Grail. Further, the researcher found several resemblances in the actantial features of both scenarios, which help to formulate a valid actantial scheme to be applied in any White Crime plan.
Keywords: White Crime, Plot, The Da Vinci Code, Propaganda, Pragmatics, Narrative Structuralism.
