(wind whooshing)

(suspenseful music)
(Emilia panting)

(Emilia gasps)

(gentle dramatic music)

(suspenseful music)

- [Jason] And now you
have nowhere else to go.

(Emilia gasps and screams)

(dramatic music)

(suspenseful music)

If it's a push rather than a
jump,

the body would be further from
the tower.

- Also.

The killer forgot to retrace
their steps,

leaving room for a trail.

(gentle bright music)

- [Jason] Genius.

- Ah! I'm excited to do
a murder at the ruins.

You know, expand to other
areas of the island.

Oh, "Blood on the Rocks."

- I have a better idea.

What about "Blood on the
Rockies"?

- What do you mean?

- Imagine: murder in the snow.

- Snow on "Mystery Island"?

- May I introduce you
to "Mystery Mountain"?

So, as we all know,

there has been the occasional
actual murder here.

- There's also been 45 games
where no one was harmed.

- Yeah, and my book is nearly
finished,

which will provide greater
context to the actual murders.

- No, no, no, no, you
misunderstand me.

The actual murders have
increased the desire

to come to "Mystery Island."

We are currently booked
up 13 months ahead.

So I pitched to Carlos an
expansion idea,

and we came up with "Mystery
Mountain."

He's just bought the property in
Montana.

- I didn't think Carlos was
open to anything off the island.

- Oh yes, it did take a bit of
convincing,

but that's why I'm here,

to think about the future
of "Mystery Island."

And with this new property,
we can start the expansion.

- That's great, but I'm not sure

him and I can handle writing
games for both properties.

- Ah, no worries there.

Carlos is hard at work
vetting the new staff.

Ooh, and when he's done, he's
bringing

the "Mystery Mountain" team
here.

- Oh, fun. So then they'll
play one of our games?

- Oh, contrarian. We're
going to play their game.

(gentle dramatic music)
(Janey exclaims)

(gentle spirited music)

(gentle music)

(rain pattering)

- To new beginnings.
(wind whooshing)

- (sighs) It's a bit scary

to be without the job that
defined me.

- How was it, saying goodbye to
London?

- Well, with the weather,

I feel like I've brought London
here.

(Jason chuckles)
(Emilia scoffs)

- You sure this is what you
want?

- You know I love my work.

- And you're great at it.
- Thank you.

But I've been thinking
about this for a while,

so I was looking for a sign
the past couple of months

as to whether I should stay in
London

or move here and make "Mystery
Island" my full-time work.

- Did that sign look anything
like this?

- (chuckles) I won't
deny that's part of it.

But also, have you heard
about the Lonnie Alfred case?

- Lonnie Alfred, the
psychiatrist
that killed seven people?

- Well, I couldn't tell you at
the time,

but I was the one who got him to
confess.

- Wow, that's amazing.

- Yeah, he threatened to do to
me

what he did to his seven
victims.

And he's not the first person
to make that kind of threat,

but I decided he was gonna be
the last.

I fear he has connections
on the other side.

- You're safe here.

- Hi.
♪ My body yearns ♪

♪ And the words you serve ♪

♪ But come to mind it hurts ♪

- Around that corner is
my favorite seafood place.

Rosa makes the best ceviche.

- (chuckles) I'm so lucky
to have a friend that,

wait, you know, someone who can
show me

around my new neighborhood.

- Lemme show you my favorite
street, Em.

Look, Em, I don't think it's any
secret

that I like you, and.

- Yeah.

- I'm just really looking
forward

to spending more time
with you outside of work.

- Me too.

(Emilia gasps)

(soft suspenseful music)

Um, sorry, I- I thought I saw
someone.

I- I think I'm just
exhausted. Jet lag, and.

- Let's get you home.

I think we both need a good
night's sleep

if we're gonna be on our A game
tomorrow.

- Jason.
- I know, it's complicated

with us working together.

Let's just take it one day at a
time.

(gentle music)

(gentle upbeat music)

Hey, you.

- Hey, yourself.

- Did you get some sleep?

- A bit. (chuckles)

- I see they've already upgraded
the boat.

- Ooh, I wonder if Janey knows
about that.

- [Bennett] Well, hello, you
two.

- Bennett, how are you?

- Oh, a bit discombobulated to
be honest.

You know this is the first time

since joining "Mystery Island"
that I have been off-island

for the entire week?

Oh, here's my new assistant, Tom
Robinson.

- [Tom] Ms. Bennett!

- Please meet Detective
Trent and Dr. Priestly.

- Oh wow! The brains behind the
game.

It is an honor to meet you both.

- You too.

- Oh, Miss Teri, okay. Miss
Teri, hm.

Oh, like mystery! Oh, oh, I- I
get it.

- Jason!
- Carlos.

- Emilia! So excited to
play a game with you.

And Ms. Bennett. Pleasure to
finally meet you in person.

- And you.

- Welcome to the "Mystery
Island" family, Tom.

- Thank you, sir, I am very
excited.

I'm very, very excited.

- Thank you. Okay.

That's different. A new boat.

Oh, "Mystery Island" has set a
high bar.

Hope "Mystery Mountain" can meet
it.

- I have every confidence they
can.

(gentle triumphant music)

(gentle music)

- Oh, it is good to be back.

- What do you say, you
and I solve this mystery

in record-breaking time?

- Exactly what I was thinking.

And then we can celebrate on the
mainland

with another dinner date.

- Sounds perfect.

- (chuckles) Thank you.
I'll see you Monday.

(gentle upbeat music)

- [Jason] Mind telling us
who our counterparts are?

- [Carlos] Their team leader,
Janey's opposite number,

is Dex Longstreth.

- [Emilia] That entitled
frustrating human from Oxford?

- [Carlos] Maybe back then,
but he has an impressive resume

and has put together a
crackerjack team.

Dex Longstreth, heir to the
Longstreth Luxury Hotel brand,

hospitality and leadership
is in his blood,

but he's trying to make his
own mark in the industry.

Regan Morris, a police
detective with the Chicago PD.

She's one of the game writers.

Dr. Stanley Williams, acclaimed
criminal psychiatrist,

who's helped the FBI
catch dozens of killers.

Inga Sorenson, "Mystery
Mountain"'s own majordomo,

who we were able to hire
away from a Swedish mogul.

And her head of security, Khalif
Brooks.

Ex-Army Special Forces medic.

(soft upbeat music)

- I dare say we're ready.

Remember the keys to success:

attention to detail, conviction,

and never forget to make work
play.

(birds chirping)

Carlos!

- Dex! (chuckles)

(Dex chuckles and groans)

- Emilia, darling!

- Lovely to see you, Dex.

- Mm, (lips smacking) mwah.

Janey! It's been far too long.

- I was going to suggest the
opposite.

- Oh! Good, you haven't lost
your bite.

- Didn't know we were going

to a "Great Gatsby" costume
party.

- Thank you for the compliment.

It's one of my favorite novels.

- Of course it is.

- You must be Jason Trent!

- That's what it says on my
passport.

- It says Dexter Crispin
Neville Drummond Longstreth

on mine.

- Oh, that must be fun
for the customs people.

(Dex laughs)

- Bennett, welcome, and thank
you

for letting us invade your
domain.

- Oh, (chuckles) I didn't
really have a choice,

Mr. Longstreth.

- (chuckles) And you're the
newly-hired Tom Robinson.

- Yes, I am.

- (laughs) Welcome all!

- Wardrobe's a bit much, no?

(gentle upbeat music)

(gentle suspenseful music)

No, wait! What are you
doing with our staff?

- Just bringing a little
added realism to our game.

So no fancy meals, no
housekeepers putting mints

on your pillows.

- What? (scoffs) Well, that's-

- A bold choice. I like it.

- Now we'll all convene on the
veranda

for cocktails for our
crystal-themed night.

But first we'll have a glass of
champagne

and then you'll be shown to
your rooms by your counterparts.

Carlos, you'll come with Janey
and me.

(gentle upbeat music)

- Pleasure, Dr. Priestly.

- Call me Emilia, please, Dr.
Williams.

- Only if you'll call me
Stanley.

(Emilia chuckles)

(gentle bright music)
(birds chirping)

(Emilia chuckles)
(group softly chattering)

- Yeah, wow, I can see
you're really leaning

into the mountain theme.

- Ah.

- Oh, John Murtaugh.

- Dex felt the founder should
be in a place of primacy.

- Oh, I wonder if Dex didn't
realize

that the founder tried to
frame Carlos for murder.

(suspenseful music)
(screen whooshes)

(trigger clicks)
(dart whizzes and thuds)

(suspenseful music)

- I've never seen that before.

- Mr. Del Fuego, you need to
come with us.

(screen whooshes)
- Well, hello.

- Dex, really?

I mean, this is a bit
gauche, even for you.

- On the other hand, it
is good to be reminded

of the dangers of hubris.

- Well, that's just what I
thought, Carlos. Shall we?

(soft gentle bright music)

- So this is your room.

- Thank you.

I, uh, I must confess, it
does feel quite strange

being a guest in one of these
rooms.

- Whoa! (gasps)

This is sweet.

- Here we are.

(gentle music)

- Oh, (chuckles) I love
all the little touches.

(Stanley chuckles)
This is amazing.

- Oh, so glad you like it.

- Here you are, Janey.

- Yes, though I do prefer
the east-side suites.

- Oh well, perhaps this side

will give you a new perspective?

- [Janey] Hm.

- Don't hesitate to ask me for
anything.

I'm here to make your stay
as comfortable as possible.

- Oh, thank you.

This is, uh, way out of my
comfort zone. (chuckles)

- You're in good hands, I
have a lot of experience,

though not as much as you do.

Your reputation proceeds you.

- Well, thank you. That's very
generous.

- Just enjoy being a guest for
once,

and I hope you enjoy
playing the game later.

- Well, I have to admit,

I'm very excited about that.
(chuckles)

- Great. So get some rest and
we'll see you for cocktails.

- Oh, Ms. Sorenson, just one
last thing.

Your previous employer, the
mogul?

(Inga sighs)

Anything I should know?

- I believe in moving
forward, not backwards.

(gentle suspenseful music)

(gentle dramatic music)

(Bennett laughs)

- [Khalif] You haven't
actually been on the island,

is that right?

- Yeah, yeah, I- I've seen
photos,

but I mean this, this is another
deal.

You know, best first week on the
job ever.

- Well, just remember to stay
alert.

Anything can be a clue.

- Wait.
(gentle suspenseful music)

Has the game already started?

- I'm just saying you
should always be aware.

- Hey, can you gimme a clue?

Yeah, I don't wanna embarrass
myself in front of this group.

Yeah, they're my new bosses.
(sniffles)

Also, I could use the help.

- So you're playing the innocent
new guy?

I can respect that.
(gentle dramatic music)

(door clicks and thuds)
- I am.

- I am looking forward to your
team

playing the "Mystery Mountain"
teams game.

- Well, technically we are just
one team.

(Dex chuckles)

But if you ever need any
pointers, tips, ideas,

I am more than willing to help.

- (chuckles) That's quite all
right.

- Oh no, seriously Dex,

I have been doing this
a lot longer than you.

I do know what makes
these games successful.

- Oh, I have no doubt that you
do,

but you are here to play our
game.

Janey, do try to relax and
enjoy.

(Janey scoffs)

Who knows, maybe you'll
pick up some pointers.

- Yes, as would you.

For starters not putting
the COO of "Mystery Island"

in one of the smaller suites.

- [Regan] So you're still on the
job?

- [Jason] I am. I was told you
are too.

- I was, but things changed.

Put my papers in a couple of
weeks ago.

- Mind if I ask why?

- I was ready for a change.

And I thought this would
be the perfect opportunity

to use my skills, but not have
to deal

with the real crimes and
bureaucracy.

Plus the money they'll pay.
(Jason scoffs)

I'm not sure why you haven't
retired from the force.

- I guess I still love catching
bad guys.

- It never gets sold, does it?

- It does not.

- I already miss that part of
it.

Here's your room, Detective.

- Well, I'll leave you to it
then.

- I- I just wanted to say,
(chuckles)

I'm familiar with your work
and it's really impressive.

- Oh! Well, thank you, Emilia.

I'd say the same of you.

- Y- you know of my work?

- Oh yes. I have contacts in
London.

I understand you were the one

who got Lonnie Alfred to
confess?

- I was, yeah.

- Impressive.

But now you've left the
Metropolitan Police?

- It was time to leave,

and to stop being threatened by
murderers.

- Ah!

(soft slow bright music)

(group softly chattering)

- Khalif, shut up.

You know about the spirit?

- Yeah, I might.
- Yeah.

(group continues softly
chattering)

(soft slow bright music
continues)

- You all right?

- Look at him. Sucking up to
Carlos.

- (sighs) I have to say,

Dex has assembled an impressive
team.

- You already have an impressive
team.

- Everything good here?

- Ah, Janey's having second
thoughts about the expansion.

- It was your idea. You
convinced Carlos to do it.

- Yes, I want the expansion.

I just, just don't want to be
replaced.

- Impossible.
- Never.

- Swell.

They are impressive, but let's
not get lulled into trusting

any one of these people.

We need to view them as the
enemy

if we are to solve their
game and possibly quickly,

and show Carlos who the
true mystery masters are.

- Hm!
(glass clinking)

- So if I can ask you all
to employ your imaginations

and envision a snow-covered
peak above the mansion,

I can then welcome you
all to "Mystery Mountain."

(group exclaims and applauds)

- All right.
- Wow!

- Now we are taking a different
tack

to "Mystery Island" with
its quaint golden age

of detective fiction lack of
technology.

Here on "Mystery Mountain,"
we embrace innovation.

While "Mystery Island" has
no cell service or wifi,

we have this past week installed

a temporary Bluetooth network.

The phones Inga and Khalif are
handing out

will be a crucial part
of playing the game.

- Oh, this is so cool.

- Uh, mine's just a blank
screen at the moment.

- Correct, when it comes online,

that will signal the start of
the game.

- Delightful. (chuckles)

- [Dex] Cheers.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

- [Jason] Cheers.

- It is clever.

- Em, what did I just say?

Do not get lulled by gimmicks.
Stay sharp.

(gentle dramatic music)

(group softly chattering)

(opera vocalist singing
in foreign language)

(group laughing)

- Sorry, Tom, have we met?

- Oh, I don't think so.

- Huh, I'm usually quite good
with faces,

and I swear we've met before.

- People say that to me all the
time.

Much just have one of
those faces, you know?

- So Dex, tell me about the
process of assembling this team.

- Uh, well, Carlos gets
most of the credit.

He's pulled together an
impressive group.

Given the success of "Mystery
Island,"

it made sense to keep the same
formula

and to find the best,
most qualified people

in their individual fields.

Our first call was to Stanley.

His renown as a criminal
psychologist is well-known.

- That's the nicest thing
he's said about me all week.

(group laughs)

- He's still learning to work
with others.

But uh, we were looking for
someone

with a similar skillset to you,

as that's worked so effectively
here on "Mystery Island."

- Mm.
- And I suggested

we bring on a cop,
because I know the pairing

has worked so well here.

- I may have been the
next person they hired,

but I wasn't the first
cop they approached.

I was 12th.
- That's not true.

Is it Dex?

(suspenseful music)
(Dex gasps)

- How could you know that?

- I'm a detective. It's
my job to find things out.

Like the fact that Inga
has a criminal record.

(ominous music)

(Dex gasping)
(group murmuring)

- Clearly absurd.

- Impossible. We vetted
everyone.

- Your vetting process failed.

Do you wanna tell them what you
did?

- How dare you?

- She was convicted of
manslaughter.

Killed her husband back when
her name was Sophie Nidason.

She did three years in a prison
in Germany

and paid a lot of money
to buy a new identity.

(slow suspenseful music)

- Inga!

(gentle suspenseful music)

- We begin with a killer among
us.

- Dex?

- I'll go and speak with Inga
and get to the bottom of this.

(suspenseful music)

- Don't worry, it's
just anxiety medication.

I take it daily whether I'm
accusing

my colleagues of manslaughter or
not.

- Hm!
- And are there

any other criminals on your
team we should know about?

- No. Everyone else checked out.

- Dex really didn't
seem to know about Inga.

- Agreed. It's concerning.

(phones chiming)

- Oh, it's a letter.
- A!

- G!
- M for me.

- Ooh, I have an M too.

- I- I got an E.

- I bet you it's an anagram!

- (laughs) Oh, right!
- G.

(group chattering and chuckling)

- What about that?
- Wait, wait, wait,

wait, wait, wait, wait.

If you do-
- No.

- That here.
- Oh, yes.

- Oh, oh!
- Oh!

- [Bennett] Game room. We
need to go to the game room.

- [Tom] All right! Okay, let's
go.

- [Janey] All right, don't
forget your notebooks.

(wind rumbling)

- What now?

(lightning crashes)
- Oh!

I don't remember seeing
thunder in the forecast.

- If Dex were here, he'd tell
you that on "Mystery Mountain"

weather will often be a factor,

so we thought we'd provide some!

- Oh! (chuckles) I must
admit, it is quite clever.

(gong bangs)

- Oh, this is good fun.
(phones chiming)

- Oh, my phone is saying an R.

- I have a D.
- Oh, I've got an L.

- I bet you it's gonna
spell riddle. Right?

- So are we trying to find two
riddles?

- Oh, might I suggest
that we mirror the screen?

- Mirror? Oh, you mean line up?

- Yes, precisely, Tom.
- Oh! Yes!

(gentle suspenseful music)
(thunder rumbling)

(screen chime)
(group laughs)

- Nice! There we go.

- Well done, Bennett.
(phones dinging)

Oh, do you have a keypad?

- I'll try and type it in.
Steak.

- Hm.
- Oh.

Uh, ooh, lemme try the
homophone, S-T-A-K-E.

- How about W-E double L space
D-O-N-E?

(screen chimes)
(hands clapping)

(group exclaims and laughs)
- Clever!

(group applauding)

- [Woman] Good evening.

- Outside! Outside.

Yes, go, go, go, go!

It's started!
- Oh!

- Good evening.
(gentle suspenseful music)

Good evening, I'm Evelyn
Murtaugh.

Welcome to my home.

- Looks just like Evelyn.

- And sounds like her.

- A hologram. Impressive.

- It's uncanny.

- That's next level AI.

- "The waves were dead.

The tides were in their grave.

The moon, their mistress
had expired before.

The winds were withered
in the stagnant air.

The clouds perished.

Darkness had no need of aid from
them.

She was the universe."

- Yeah, I know that poem.

It's, it's "Darkness" by Byron.

- Someone on this island
is not who they seem to be.

And their aim is foul play.

I will graciously provide
you with three riddles

to help you discover the
imposter.

The first riddle.

Tell yourself that all mysteries

are not difficult to illuminate
with the proper method.

First, find the ember of
curiosity

that burns like an ache
in the heart of everyone.

The second riddle.

No one ate while the scion
waited.

Far too confused to
follow his mother's words

for his own good.

The third riddle.

The evening sun is hidden
shrouded in deception.

With discovery comes failure.

Now to work, my sleuthing
friends.

(Janey, Emilia and Bennett gasp)

- Like I said.
(Janey and Emilia gasp)

Embracing technology.

- Where did you sneak in from?

- During Mrs. Murtaugh's speech.

- That certainly was a lot of
information.

- Can we replay it? I may
have missed a line or four.

- Spectacular opening, Dex!

- Thank you, Carlos.

And I'd like to assure you all

that Inga's manslaughter
charge was for losing control

of her car while on black ice,

which sadly resulted
in her husband's death.

- I would've told you that

if you hadn't rushed out of the
room.

- My sincere apologies
for the interruption.

- No problem, Dex.

So, team, where should we start?

- Why don't we begin where
Evelyn did?

With Lord Byron's poem
"Darkness"?

- In the library.

(Emilia chuckles)

(gentle dramatic music)
(group chattering)

- "Byron's Complete Poems."

- You got it?
- Yes! Okay.

(metal clatters)
- Oh!

- This must be related somehow.

- (gasps) That is a Cardano
grille.

- Which is what?

- A cipher device from the 16th
century.

When placed over a piece of
writing,

it can reveal a secret message
underneath.

- Wow, impressive knowledge,
Bennett.

- Well, you know, I'm partial to
a puzzle.

- Well, let, let, let's, let's
put it over

the "Darkness" poem.

- Oh yeah. Okay, oh!

- Here you go.

- Thanks, Stanley.

Okay. Uh, "Darkness," page 89.

Ah! It appears to be saying.

Oh, nothing.

- Oh, uh, ah! Try rotating it.

(gentle suspenseful music)

- Still nothing.

(Janey sighs)
- Maybe the, um,

uh, the grille thing i- is
supposed to be

put over something else.

- Like Evelyn's first riddle?

- Right!
- Oh, okay.

- I have it written down,
but my spacing is arbitrary.

- Oh, we should put it
into iambic pentameter.

- Why that?

- Because that's what
Byron used for "Darkness."

- Oh! Hm!

- Can I borrow this?
- Yeah.

- You should mirror the font
size

and, and write the riddle,

uh, in between the lines.

Okay, tell yourself that all
mysteries are not difficult

to illuminate with the proper
method.

In the heart of everyone of us.

Okay!

(gentle suspenseful music)

(Emilia gasps)

Tell em ach us.

Tell em ach us.

- Tell em ach us.

Tell em. (gasps)

Telemachus!
- Telemachus!

Em, we're brilliant!

Oh, so maybe the imposter is
Greek, or, or, or a prince.

- Oh! Um, an archer!

- Hold on.

Forgive me, I didn't go to
Oxford and minor in the
classics.

(Janey clears throat)
- Right, yeah, sorry.

Um, have you heard of Odysseus?

- Trojan Horse guy, right?
- Right.

So Telemachus was the son
of King Odysseus and Queen-

- Penelope.
- Penelope.

- Okay. And the archer?

- Well, Telemachus roughly
translates to archer.

But it actually means far from
battle,

because an archer can
kill from a distance.

- You're so good at this.
- Absolutely.

(Emilia laughs)

(dart whooshes)
(Regan exclaims)

(dramatic music)
- Oh!

(Regan gasps)

- [Regan] (groans) What was
that?

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm okay.

- Where did that come from?

(suspenseful music)

- So it seems to have a
remote control trigger.

- Oh, (chuckles) okay, okay.

We need to search the
"Mystery Mountain" team

for remote controls.

- Dex, what was that move?

- You knew about the dart.

- Janey, hang on. This
isn't part of our game.

- You expect me to believe that

after the Telemachus clue?

- Well, I wrote most of this
game

and I definitely didn't
write me being shot.

- Maybe it was an old device
that just happened to go off.

- I am sorry, but this
is an absurd coincidence.

I mean, Carlos, they are
obviously trying to thwart us

because we are getting close
to solving their game, man!

- Right.
- Already!

- Yeah!
(group laughing)

(group exclaims)
(dramatic music)

- [All] Oh!

- [Khalif] Step back. Step back.

Come on. Come on!

- Carlos, this is not part of
the game.

- Khalif, stop. Khalif, stop!

(Khalif gasps)

(somber music)

She's dead.

- Oh! (sighs)

- What the heck, what?

- No. No, no, no, no, no, no,
no.

- Poison?

- Well, we'll run forensics on
it,

but it's coated with honey.

(somber music)

- Well, her convulsions did
look like an anaphylactic shock.

I know it well, that's why I
never travel without an EpiPen.

She could be deathly allergic.

- She is. It was part
of her medical profile.

- This is madness. Regan was
targeted.

We do need to frisk
everybody for a remote.

- Dex is right. Empty your
pockets.

(somber music)

- Okay.

(group groaning)

- [Tom] Everything now.

- Well, that's a relief, I
guess.

- A relief? Someone's dead.

- I thought this was just a
game?

- (scoffs) It was supposed to
be.

- The remote could have been
triggered from some distance.

Who else knew about
Regan's medical history?

- It was on the "Mystery Island"
server,

so any one of us or any one of
you.

- And anyone who could've
hacked the server. Right?

- I need to call Ray.

- He's the chief of
police on the mainland.

(somber suspenseful music)

(foot thuds)

- There's an issue with the
phone line.

Nothing.

(explosion crashes)

That didn't sound like
your thunder machine.

- It wasn't.

(suspenseful music)

What on Earth?

- Dex, please tell me you have
backup.

- Someone cut the landline

and disabled your Bluetooth
network.

- I think we should
probably leave the island.

- Boat won't be back till
Monday.

- Please tell me we have another
boat.

- We do, but the staff took
it back to the mainland

when Dex dismissed them for
added realism.

- Well, it sounded like a
lovely idea at the time.

- We can no longer trust your
ideas.

- So we're stuck here.

- That's terrifying.

- It certainly is.

- We can take measures

to ensure everyone's safety,

but first I need to
secure the crime scene.

- All of us!

(gentle dramatic music)

(suspenseful music)

(group whispering)

- How is this possible?
- It's not possible.

- How?
- We were gone

for maybe 10 minutes.

Whoever took the body
couldn't have gotten far.

I need to search the mansion.

- Jason.

- It's fine, Em.

I'll clear the game room first,
you can all wait in there.

(suspenseful music)
(group whispering)

(thunder rumbling)

- Not the night we expected.

- Certainly not.

- This is all my fault.

- No, Dex, don't blame yourself.

- But I'm in charge, Janey,
the responsibility falls to me.

- I won't argue with that.

- No sign of Regan's body or a
killer.

- Should we search the
surrounding jungle?

- Well, we need to ask
ourselves,

why would the killer wanna
take her body outta here?

- Uh, to draw us away from
the mansion and safety.

- In addition, the killer
could be relying on

or taking advantage of the fact

that we're all exhausted,
physically and emotionally.

- Stanley's right. We
should all get some rest.

Start fresh in the morning.

- Oh, I concur.

- I don't think anyone should
be on their own tonight,

so bunkmates are Carlos and
Khalif,

Dex and Tom, Bennett and
Inga, Janey and Emilia.

Stanley, you can go with Carlos.

- I don't need a bunkmate.

- What about you?

- I'll keep watch.

I want everyone to lock your
windows and bolt your doors.

- Stay safe, Tom.

- You too.

- Apologies for encroaching on
your space.

- Oh, no, no, no. Not at all.

To be honest, I am more than
relieved

to have a roommate this evening.

- Truthfully? Me as well.

(wind rumbling)

- Well, I think it's
no secret that I wanted

to take the shine off Dex.

This is hardly how I had
hoped it would happen.

- We know, Janey.

(Janey sighs)

- Tell me it's gonna be all
right, Jason?

- We're gonna be all right.

- Are you just saying that
because I told you to?

- Well, technically yeah,

but I'm gonna make sure it's
true.

- Thank you.

- Are you gonna make
sure you're all right?

- Always.

- (sighs) Please be careful.

- I will be.

- Do you promise?

- I promise.

- Okay.

- Night.
- Night.

(wind whooshing)

(somber music)

- Em! Em, are you awake?

- I am.

- Well, are you trying to sleep?

- I was.

- Well, I was too, truly.

It's just, well, it's
my mind, it's racing.

- Would you like me to teach
you a deep breathing exercise?

- No, I- (sighs) I don't
think I want to sleep.

- Janey!

(Emilia sighs)

What is it?

- I don't want to start
building a murder board,

but I just can't help wondering

what motive somebody would
have for killing Regan.

- Well, I would imagine she's
put several criminals away.

So this may be for revenge,

which hits a little close to
home.

- But then why wouldn't they
allow us to leave the island?

I mean, if Regan was the only
target?

- An excellent question. (sighs)

I think we should assume

that whomever did this
planned well in advance

and is far from finished.

(Janey sighs)

- Right.

You'll show me this
breathing exercise then?

(Emilia sighs)

(insects chirping)
(gentle suspenseful music)

(flames crackling)

(suspenseful music)
(branches rustling)

- Police! Come out from behind
the tree with your hands up!

(suspenseful music)
(insects chirping)

(Khalif sighs)

Khalif?

- I wanted to take a quick
sweep of the grounds.

I'm sorry I scared you.

- I want you to head back
inside and get some rest.

(insects chirping)
(somber music)

(Jason sighs)

(knuckles rapping)

It's Jason.

(Emilia sighing)

Morning.
- Certainly is.

Did you not sleep?

- I didn't.
- Oh, Jason.

- I just kept watch, did
a few perimeter walks.

I figured if anyone was out
there,

they'd wait till we were
asleep to make a move.

- And did they?

- All quiet.

- Oh, so you're thinking we
should search

the rest of the island?

- You read my mind.

(Emilia chuckles)

- Oh good, (sighs)

the three of us made it through
the night.

Well, should we go check on the
others?

- I'll get myself together.
Meet you down there.

- Okay. Ready?

- Ready.

(group softly chattering)

- Oh, Ms. Sorenson, what a
lovely spread.

- Thank you.

- All right, everyone.

(sighs) The island is not
that big to begin with,

so whoever killed Regan and took
her body

couldn't have gotten far,
especially in the dark.

- Jason, just a thought, if I
may?

Is it possible the killer
hid or even buried her body

somewhere close by, maybe in
a hole they'd already dug,

and then moved further afield?

- Excellent thought.
- Thank you, Janey.

- Agreed, I'm thinking we work
in teams,

operate on a search grid.

- I simply can't chalk
it up to coincidence

that just as we solved
the Telemachus riddle,

Regan gets shot with an arrow.

- Technically it was a dart.

- Yeah, but my point is,
whomever set the device

that killed Regan not only knew

about her medical condition,

they knew about the game you've
written.

- So there has to be a
connection

between Regan and the killer.

- Correct, so if the
killer has further plans,

it wouldn't be unreasonable to
think

those plans might be tied to
the rest of the game narrative.

- So wait, you want us to
continue playing the game?

- Okay, but maybe less thunder
this time?

- Stanley, can you share what
was next?

- I was afraid you were gonna
ask me this,

and unfortunately, just as Regan
and I

came up with the Evelyn idea,

I was called away by the FBI.

- Are you saying you
don't know the solution

to the other two riddles?

- I'm saying I don't actually
know

the entire rest of the
narrative.

(Janey scoffs)

Dex told me he would
help Regan in my absence.

- Dex?

- Well, I- I did say that, but-

- But what, Dex?

- Regan said she could handle
it.

She said that she would
reveal it to us all

after you'd solved the first
riddle.

- [Emilia] Are you saying?

- Nobody knows the ending of the
game?

(suspenseful music)

(slow dramatic music)

- Okay, to clarify.

Only one person on your
team knew the answers

to the remaining riddles?

- Well, I guess I have a thing
or two

to learn about the job.

- All right, so then I suggest

that Stanley and I work on
figuring out the riddles,

and the rest of you conduct the
search.

You don't agree?

- No, I, uh, I think you're
right about the riddles.

- Jason doesn't like the idea
of leaving you here with me,

because Jason has quite
reasonably concluded

that while none of us could
have moved Regan's body,

there was always the possibility

of two culprits working
together.

One out there somewhere,

and the other right here at this
table

from the "Mystery Mountain"
team.

Yes, Detective?

- That's right.

- Oh come now, Stanley.
Our team was vetted.

- Yeah well, we all know
how well that turned out.

- I concur with Stanley,

that the "Mystery Island" team
has a reason to mistrust us.

- Well, who, who is it that you
mistrust?

Inga, Khalif, Stanley?

- You're not including
yourself on this list, Dex?

Remind me again who's
in charge of this game?

- I didn't plan this.

- No, clearly you didn't.

- This is not my fault!

- Carlos, you should have
never trusted someone like him

to lead a mission like this.

- Someone like me?

- Elitist, trust fund wannabe.

- Easy.
- You needed so desperately

to make a name for yourself,
it led to negligence!

- That's enough! Stanley, cool
it!

Dex, sit down. Now.

(Emilia sighs)

- I still believe we will find
answers

if we solve the riddles.

- Yes, I agree. I'll join you
and Stanley.

- As will I.

- I'd also like to stay.

I trust Stanley and I'm quite
terrified

about encountering the killer
out there.

- That's fine, Inga.

- Given the trust issues, I
volunteer

to partner with Khalif on a
search team.

Though I would request smoother
terrain.

I have a dodgy knee.

- All right, well, then
you two go due east,

take the golf course and
surrounding area.

Tom, Janey, and I will
go south to the beach.

We rendezvous at the
beach cabana in one hour.

(soft gentle suspenseful music)

(birds chirping)

- So I wrote Evelyn's second
riddle in iambic pentameter

and laid the Cardano grille over
it.

- And it didn't work.
- (sighs) Exactly.

- That would be far too easy.

- The second riddle was what
again?

- Okay. "No one ate
while the scion waited.

Far too confused to
follow his mother's words

for his own good."

- Sorry, what is scion?
- Uh, a descendant.

Usually someone from a notable
family.

- So like Telemachus?

- Yeah, like Telemachus,

but also like John
Murtaugh, son of Evelyn,

who was full of words.

Evelyn was obsessed with Greece

and set more than one novel
there.

(sighs) Where's Evelyn?
(whispers)

Oh, "Shadows of Santorini."

- Yes, let's look for
additional Cardano grilles

and hidden papers.

- Okay.

Look at this one?

"Greek To Me."

Look at this one.
- Yeah, I think this is

some product list.
- (speaks faintly) Yeah.

- Thank you.
- And this? Yes!

Why don't we each go
through these page by page

and, and see if we find any
annotations?

- Oh, might I suggest
that we also scan the text

for any reference to the second
riddle?

- Yeah. Great, okay, let's
settle in.

- Um, if you don't mind,

I'm going to do my reading on
the veranda.

I promise to shout if anyone
approaches.

(suspenseful music)

(gentle dramatic music)

- I thought maybe we'd see signs

of the killer bunked
on the beach overnight,

but there's nothing.

- Hmm.

So now that Emilia's moving
closer,

do you think, you know?

- You know how much I adore Em.

- And?

- And we agreed to take
it one day at a time.

- Well, just don't spend too
many days before acting on it.

We never know how many days we
have.

- Especially on this island.

(gentle dramatic music)

- Oh!

- What?
- I just realized something.

There's a cryptic code
in the second riddle

far more simpler than the
Cardano grille.

It's a, it's number
substitution.

- I don't follow.

- Okay, no one, use the
numerical, ate.

Well, that's a number.

- Oh, I get it. So far too is a
two.

- To follow, another two.

- For his.
- Four. Exactly.

So 1 8 2 2 4.

- Maybe it's a specific
place in one of her books.

Perhaps a page number and a line
count.

- Great idea, um, so it could be

page 182, line 24.

(gentle dramatic music)

- Page 182 here is the end of a
chapter.

It's only seven lines long.

- My page 182 is the
beginning of a chapter

and half the page is empty.

- Mine's a description of a
Grecian heir.

Emilia?

- Uh.

(dramatic music)

My page 182, line 24

is the second half of a sentence

where a mother is scolding
her disobedient son.

- Like the riddle.

- And line 24 is just one word.

(gentle suspenseful music)

Dexter.

(slow dramatic music)

- Does this mean Dex is the
killer?

- We have to tell Stanley.

(book thuds)

- Look, I'll stay here
and continue working.

- Okay. Let's go.

(gentle dramatic music)
(water sloshing)

- Tom! Anything?

- Nothing. You?

Well, maybe Dex and Khalif had
more luck.

- They should be here by now.

(dramatic music)
(Janey sighs)

- Well, why don't we
go to the golf course?

Maybe we'll meet them on route?

(gentle suspenseful music)

- Stanley?

- Stanley?

We shouldn't have let him wander
off.

- He wasn't wandering off.

He was coming to this spot.

- Well, we need to find him.

- I prefer to stay here.

- Okay, you wait here,

Carlos and I'll go and look for
him.

- Okay, I'll lock myself into my
room.

- Okay.

(gentle suspenseful music)

(birds chirping)

(dramatic music)

(golf carts rattling)

(gentle suspenseful music)

- What's that?

That's Khalif.

Khalif!

(Janey pants)

Are you okay?

No, no! Stay down, stay down.

- Well, at least he's not dead.

- Are you hurt?
(Khalif groans)

- Where's Dex?

- That's a great question.

(soft gentle suspenseful music)

- [Emilia] Stanley?

(gentle dramatic music)

- [Carlos] Where's he gone?

- Stanley?

(waves sloshing)

We should check the beach.

- (sighs) Let's go.

(slow suspenseful music)

(gentle suspenseful music)

These must be Stanley's.

- Well, this is the only place
left.

But why would he come down here?

(gentle suspenseful music)

- Emilia, look! A second
set of footprints.

- Well, they go up to the jungle

and they're going toward
the deceased's bungalow.

(waves crashing)

(Emilia sighs)

- I really don't like
the idea of splitting up.

- Well, I don't like the
idea of not finding Stanley.

- All right, scream if you're in
trouble.

- You too.

(gentle suspenseful music)

- [Khalif] Ow! Ow!

- Ooh, sorry. Sorry.
- Ow!

- I think you'll get quite a
headache.

- I already do.

- Khalif, tell me what happened.

- We were driving the range.

Dex saw something in the
sand trap, something shiny.

He drove us over here. We got
out.

Next thing I remember, you
guys are helping me up.

(wind whooshing)

(suspenseful music)

- Guys. Guys!

You're gonna wanna see this.

- You be all right?

- I'm okay. Go, go.

(Khalif groans)

(gentle dramatic music)

- [Tom] That's what I think it
is, right?

- Blood? Yeah.

- But Khalif hasn't got any
blood on him.

- There's more leading this way.

- What do you wanna do?

- Let's see where it takes us.

Janey help Khalif. Tom, you ride
with me.

- Right.

(soft suspenseful music)
(waves crashing)

(suspenseful music)

(water burbling)

(object clicks)
(suspenseful music)

(object thuds)

(door creaks)

(suspenseful music continues)

(soft ominous music)

(object thuds)

(soft ominous music continues)

(Emilia gasps)
(club thuds)

(man grunts and thuds)

(gentle dramatic music)
(gold carts rattling)

(suspenseful music)

- It's getting heavier.

- Which means it's a wound
that's not been taken care of.

Is it possible Dex attacked
you and you fought back?

- I'm pretty sure I'd remember
that.

- Let's follow it.

(Khalif groans)
- No, no.

You should stay here.

- Not a chance. I wanna this
guy.

(gentle suspenseful music)

- Tom, go to the top of the
tower, yell if you see anything.

- Jason, this is the storyline

you were working on two months
ago.

- I'm aware. That's not good
news for Dex.

- You all right?

- (groans)Thank you.

- I'm so sorry.

- No, no, it's my fault. I
shouldn't have-

- I heard a noise.

You found Stanley.

- Yeah, and I hit him.

- Because I foolishly crept up
on her.

- What are you doing here?

- Well, I was getting
nowhere with the book,

so I thought I'd take
a walk, clear my head,

wound up here and thought
a soak in the hot tub

would be a good idea.

I, uh, realize this all
sounds a tad suspicious.

- It does, yeah.

- More than a tad.

How do we know you weren't
meeting your accomplice here?

- Um, well, I suppose you don't.

- Because somebody was
drinking a glass of wine.

Was that you?

- It wasn't.

I didn't even enter the place
until I heard something.

I was tempted by the hot
tub, like I told you.

- Emilia, did you look in the
bedroom?

- Not yet.

- Why don't we all go look?

- Sure. (sighs)

(somber suspenseful music)

(Emilia gasps)

(suspenseful music)

- (sighs) Looks like
someone's targeting members

of your team, Stanley.

(dramatic music)

- Surely someone saw my notes
on "Murder at the Ruins."

- That seems highly likely.

- Well, then the killer
must be someone among us.

- Janey.

(somber music)

Just remember who you can trust.

- There's blood on the window!

Like a lot, a lot of blood!

(Janey exclaims)

- [Janey] Dexter's hat.

- I think whoever wounded
Dex threw him from the tower.

No one could survive that fall.

(somber music)

That's two dead.

- So it would appear that all
the members

of the " Mystery Mountain"
team are potential targets.

- Why? That makes no sense.

- The second clue led us to
believe that Dex was the killer,

but that's been proven wrong.

- Khalif, you remember nothing?

- Not a thing.

- Isn't it far more likely,

if there is an inside man among
us,

that the killer is working with
somebody

from the "Mystery Island" team?

- Excuse me!
- What?

- Why?

Oh, just because you found,

uh, a bunch of photos of you
guys.

- Yeah, that's exactly what I'm
saying.

- Well, maybe those were put
there

to throw suspicion on one of
you!

(all yelling)

- None of us are thinking
clearly.

I suggest we all go to our rooms

to rest and clear our heads.

- Wise words, Emilia.

- I prefer to go to my
original room on my own.

- I think that's best for all of
us.

(somber music)
(chairs scraping)

(gentle dramatic music)

(Emilia sighs)

- It's not making sense.

(knuckles rapping)

Jason?

- [Jason] How'd you guess?

- You're not sleeping.

- Neither are you. Despite
telling everyone we needed rest.

(door thuds)

- I rested.

- For what, 30 seconds?

- It may have been 40.

I just, I- I can't stop
thinking.

- Oh, you wanna bounce some
stuff off me?

- Yeah, that usually works quite
well.

- It does indeed.

(Emilia sighs)

(quirky dramatic music)

- So instead of thinking
about the evidence,

we should consider the mind of
the killer.

- Good thing you're an expert.

You started to formulate
a profile of the killer?

- That's what's off.
There's no consistency.

See, Regan's murder
shows extensive planning,

whereas Dex's is simply
opportunistic.

Regan's murder is bloodless,

whereas Dex's is quite the
opposite.

- That makes the theory of
two killers pretty viable.

One being the muscle, the
other being the brains.

- Possibly, but what if
the two-killer notion

is a deception to instill
fear and division among us?

What if there's simply
one killer who has access

to all the "Mystery Mountain"
files,

who understands psychology
and how to create fear,

and who knows enough about
profiling

to vary their methods of murder

in an effort to confuse us?

- You're talking about Stanley.

- (sighs) You had the same
thought?

- Plus, I didn't buy his
reasons for wandering away

from you and Inga and Carlos.

- Exactly, and not just to the
veranda,

but then to the jacuzzi?

- So for that to be the
case, he would've had time

to leave his book at the
veranda, get to the golf course,

attack Khalif and Dex, drag
the wounded Dex to the tower,

throw him off and still get back
in time

to wash off any blood spatter.

- Yeah. So how should we
proceed?

- I wanna talk to Stanley,
see how he reacts.

- Alone or?

- You coming down.

(dramatic music)

- Hang on.
- Yeah?

- Maybe you should go in first.

He's more likely to let
you in if you're alone.

- 'Cause I'm some dumb cop,

and you're a brilliant criminal
profiler.

- Well, I wouldn't put it that
way.

- Stanley might.

- Maybe.

And then once you've
had a chance to hit him

with some preliminary questions,
I'll knock on the door.

- Are we working together?

- No. We've each come of our own
volition.

- I like it. Keep him off my
eyes.

- Precisely.

(knuckles rapping)

- Jason Trent!

Stanley!
(knuckles rapping)

(metal clanging)
(wind whooshing)

I think he's opening the window.

(door handle rattles)

(door thuds)
(dramatic music)

Stanley!

- Don't move, Detective.
- Stanley, now come on.

- [Stanley] I don't wanna hurt
you,

but you gotta listen to me.

- [Jason] I'm listening.

- [Stanley] Huh? Are you
listening?

- I am listening, Stanley.

- Somebody's trying to frame me.

I am being framed!
- Okay!

And I will listen to you,
Stanley,

if you put down-
- Do you believe me?

- Do you understand me?

But you got to listen to me.

- Somebody is trying to frame
me.

- I understand that.

- Yeah? I want you to believe
me.

- I understand-
- Stanley!

(Stanley grunts and exclaims)

- Now, let's make this official.

You are under arrest for
assaulting an officer.

Anything you say can and
will be used against you

in a court of law and you
have the right to an attorney.

If you cannot afford one,

one will be provided for you.

Do you understand these
rights as I've read them?

- I know my Miranda rights
and I don't mind talking

because I'm telling you I
did not kill Regan or Dex.

And by Monday, when your
colleagues

from the police force arrive,
I promise you they'll agree.

Now, if you would please uncuff
me.

Thank you.
- Don't thank me.

I'm locking you up.

- Emilia, you gotta believe me.

I'm being framed! (exclaims)

(Stanley grunts)

(gentle suspenseful music)

(Emilia sighs)

(Stanley grunts and pants)

(dramatic music)

Storage room?

- Well, for now it's a holding
cell.

- Listen, you said I was under
arrest for assaulting you.

Does that mean you don't
think I killed them?

- Stanley, you are my prime
suspect.

I might be adding murder
to your list of charges

when my colleagues get here on
Monday,

but for now, assaulting an
officer's more than enough

to hold you.

- Well, can you please uncuff me
then?

- I'll be back.

(door thuds)

(keypad beeping)

(lock buzzes)

(suspenseful music)

(Stanley sighs)

Hey.

- You get Stanley secured?

- I did. Yeah.

- And he actually pulled a knife
on you?

- I brought them all up to
speed.

- I never trusted Stanley.

- Yeah. Yeah, me neither.

- I thought it was Dex you
didn't trust?

- Oh, well I didn't, but clearly
I was mistaken about Dex.

But no, I felt that Stanley
was extremely suspicious

with the whole, "I don't
know anything about the game

because I was called
away by the FBI," story.

- Well, what's Stanley saying
now?

- Nothing yet. I wanted
to talk to you all first.

Best to go into an interview
with some ammunition.

Who knows anything about
Dr. Stanley Williams?

- He's a criminal psychologist,
a university professor,

and he consults with the FBI.

He's well respected.

- He also wrote a seminal
book on criminal profiling.

"Mind of a Killer."

- Might turn out to be an
autobiographical title.

- So you do think that he
murdered Regan and Dex?

- I'm not sure yet, but he's
certainly my prime suspect.

- I got a bad vibe from him
right away.

He kept saying that he
knew me from somewhere.

- And you don't know him?

- No.

- I think we need to talk
to the surviving members

of the "Mystery Mountain" team.

(gentle dramatic music)

(waves sloshing)
(seagulls squawking)

Thank you for meeting with us.

- Of course. Where's Stanley?

- In custody.

- I don't understand.

- I went to talk to Stanley
and he assaulted me.

- What?
- With a knife.

Thanks to Emilia, I was able
to turn the tables on him.

I have him locked in a secured
room.

- Well, that's-
- Shocking.

I had several discussions

with Stanley about futility of
violence.

- Interesting.

What else can either of
you tell us about Stanley?

- Well.
- Well, has no children,

no family.

He's quite devoted to his work.

And he's writing on a sequel to
his book.

- Yeah, that's what I got from
him too.

Although he didn't spend
the week here with us,

just came in the day before you
guys.

But I did get to talk to him

about his work profiling
killers.

- What did he say?

- He said that murder
can be quite energizing.

I mean, I thought he meant
talking to murderers.

Now I see how it could maybe be

like he was revealing something.

- Thank you both.

I'm gonna go question Stanley.

Won't you join me?
- Of course.

- Might I suggest that
the rest of us remain here

and work out the third riddle of
Evelyn's?

It might yet prove helpful.

(gentle suspenseful music)

(keypad beeping)

(lock buzzes)

- Oh, hello.

- Did you fall over?

- Just tried to get some sleep.

But the combination of
handcuffs and concrete

made it difficult.

- I'll tell you what,
Stanley, if you promise

not to do anything stupid,
I'll let you loose.

- I promise.

(Stanley grunts and groans)

Thank you.

(Stanley groans)

- Have a seat.

- May I ask?

- We're asking the questions.

- Understood.

- Did you rig the device
that killed Regan?

- I did not.

- Did you attack Khalif and
murder Dex?

- Certainly not.

- But you don't have an
alibi for Dex's murder?

- Oh yes, I'm painfully aware of
that.

But still, I didn't do it.

Honestly, I thought the two
of you were better at this,

which is why I'm shocked
you've been tricked

into thinking I'm the killer.

- We never said you were the
killer.

- Oh, good. So I can go then.

- Sit down.

Why do you think you're being
framed?

- Because I am.

- Why would Khalif or
Inga wanna frame you?

- I would assume so they don't
get caught.

But you're assuming it's one of
our team

and not one of your team.

- We have plenty of history with
our team.

- Not Tom Robinson, you don't.

You have no history with him,
but I do.

- You said you thought you knew
him.

- Yes, I suppose it took
being locked up in here

to bring it back to me.

It's been a couple years.

Tom wasn't quite as fit, had
shorter hair,

but he was a student of mine at
GW.

As you know, I was an adjunct
professor,

taught a couple of classes
there.

But I know why Tom pretended
not to remember me.

- Why?

- Because I turned him in for
plagiarism,

which led to his expulsion.

- Did he confront you
about it at the time?

- Only via email.

He said something to the effect

that I destroyed his life

and he was gonna make me pay for
that.

And now I'm afraid he may have
found a way to do just that.

(dramatic music)

(group chattering)

- Yes, poor Dex.

Oh, Jason. Has Stanley
confessed?

- Not yet. Do you mind
if I borrow Bennett?

- Oh no, of course.

Bex?
(gentle dramatic music)

- How can I help?

- This may seem like a strange
question,

but where did Tom go to college?

- Uh, the University
of the Virgin Islands.

- So not George Washington
University?

- Oh no, he did in fact
begin his degree there.

- Do you know why he
transferred?

- No idea. Is this somehow
pertinent to our situation?

- It might be. Could you ask
him to come in here please?

- Yes, of course.

- I can't help but bring up the
fact

that this new revelation from
Stanley

is now dividing members of our
own team.

- Fits your profile of
the killer. I get it.

- Hey guys, what's up?

- Tom, you started your
undergrad

at George Washington University.

- Wow, uh, not what I
was expecting, (chuckles)

but yeah, yeah, I was at GW for
a year.

Why?
- Why did you leave?

- Well, um, (scoffs) I met
a girl over spring break

and she was at the University
of the Virgin Islands.

I was just, just madly in love
with her,

so I transferred.

- So you weren't expelled from
GW?

- No.

- Was Stanley Williams one
of your professors there?

- I don't believe this.
Is that guy accusing me?

- Just answer the question.

- Fine. The, the answer is no.

I didn't have Stanley as a
professor.

I didn't even know he taught
there.

I- I was a business major.

My specialty was in
hospitality management.

(scoffs) I never saw
that guy until yesterday,

I swear to you.

- Okay.

Thank you.

- Am I a suspect?

- Everyone's a suspect until
they're not.

- Okay.

- Why don't you go and
head to the game room?

- Sure.

(soft ominous music)

- We have no way of knowing

which one of them is telling the
truth.

- But the fact that Stanley knew
Tom

was at GW and left prematurely-

- Is not a good look for Tom.

(suspenseful music)

- Janey, darling.
- Thank you.

Oh grand. Should we
report on our progress?

- That would be great. Yeah.

- Right.

According to Stanley, Regan
wrote AI Evelyn's scripts

and only she knew the
answer to the riddles.

But is this true?

Add to it, the killer certainly
intended Regan's murder

as a mockery to the Telemachus
solution

from riddle number one.

Right, so it makes sense

that Regan shared the riddle
solution

with the killer who then killed
her

because she found out who the
killer was.

- (sighs) It sounds a bit
circular and logic, Janey.

- But does it?

Or does it sound like the
kind of twisted thinking

a killer like Stanley is capable
of?

No, so why kill Dex?

I mean, perhaps he figured
out who the killer was,

but maybe the killer is planning

on killing everyone on the
island.

A serial killer, like the
ones that Stanley profiles.

- Serial killers follow
patterns in their murders.

They don't vary their methods.

Except for Lonnie Alfred.

- He's behind bars.

- A copycat or someone close to
him?

- Well, yes, like Stanley.

- Okay.

Okay, um, what about
the third riddle then?

Um, "The evening sun is
hidden, shrouded in deception,

with discovery comes failure."

- Well, yes, (sighs) the
Cardano grille, it didn't work.

And obviously there are
no number substitutions.

- We thought about what
would hide the sun,

and went down the cloud route.

Deception would equal clouds.

And that didn't get us anywhere.

- And I didn't find any other
traditional

code models being used.

- Can I raise a question? What
if Stanley isn't the killer?

Or he's working with an
accomplice

who's still at large on the
island?

- Yes. I do not relish the
idea of staying another night.

Even with locked bedroom doors.

- I'd feel safer if we were all
together.

- Might I suggest that
we all sleep in here

and then take shifts keeping
watch?

- Yes. That's a great idea.

- Jason, what do you think

of us all staying the night in
here,

and then taking turns to keep
watch?

- That's good thinking.
- Yeah.

- Em, there's something
I need to show you.

Yeah.
- Yeah.

(suspenseful music)

- Did you talk to Tom Robinson?

- Sit down, Stanley.

We did. And he said he left
GW for different reasons.

- Oh, well, then I'm sure
he is telling the truth

and I'm lying.

- Speaking of not being
truthful,

when were you planning on
telling us

that you'd been in contact
with Lonnie Alfred,

the London serial killer I got
to confess?

- I would assume that's
a rhetorical question.

- Letters from Lonnie Alfred to
you,

which Jason found in your room.

"What if I told you I
had a partner in my work?

We can only discuss in person.
Can you come to London?"

You told us you couldn't write
with Regan

because you were called away.

Called away by Lonnie Alfred?

- Is Lonnie's partner now your
partner?

Are they on this island?

- You found some letters.

You're leaping to a lot of
conclusions.

- Fill in the blanks for us.

- Hmm. I think I'm done talking.

(somber suspenseful music)

- [Jason] Hey, you okay?

- (sighs) I should have told you
sooner,

but ever since the Lonnie Alfred
case,

I- I- I feel like I'm being
followed.

- Why didn't you tell me?

- Aw, I thought I was being
paranoid.

I've been through this before.

- You can always confide in me.

- I know.

I- I didn't want to raise any
alarms

until I had some proof.

- If it was someone
associated with Lonnie,

why would they go after Regan?

- Unless Regan wasn't the
intended victim.

(suspenseful music)

(dart whooshes)
(Regan exclaims)

(dramatic music)
- Oh!

(screen whooshes)

- Honey. You're allergic.

- I was the target.

- I hate to say it, but
it makes the most sense.

(gentle dramatic music)

- I need to go and check on
Janey.

(footsteps tapping)

- Brought you a pillow and
blanket.

- Oh, you're the best.

- I know this probably isn't the
time,

but don't you think that
Khalif is rather handsome?

- (chuckles) Not the time.

- Okay, fair, but I
don't think it's just me

thinking about what tonight
could be,

if we weren't only worried
about a killer on the loose?

Like you and Jason, hm?

(gentle music)

- (sighs) One day at a time.

- I am so over that cliche.

- Let me help you with that.

- Thank you.

(gentle music)

Hm?

(waves sloshing)

- Grounds are clear.

- [Emilia] (sighs) It
is a beautiful sunset.

- It's always bothered me.

- The sunset?

- No, uh, the fact that
we say the sun is setting

when really we're just
turning away from it.

- Jason! You're a genius.

- Well, it was Copernicus.

- No! No, I mean the third
riddle.

Of course, the three riddles
form a profile. (scoffs)

- You've lost me.

- The third riddle starts,

"The evening sun is hidden."

Well, why is the sun hidden?

Because the Earth turns away
from it.

Now I use the homophone, S-O-N,

and who's turning away from him?

Mother Earth.

- Right, and the answer
to the first riddle

was a son, Telemachus.

- Yeah, a, a prince
with no power. A scion.

- And the answer to the second
riddle, the invisible man.

- Someone nobody sees.

And now this son, whose
mother turns away from him.

Put it all together,
it's what I suspected.

John Murtaugh.
(gentle dramatic music)

(water sloshing)
(gentle music)

I feel like I should say
something to Jason about it.

Well, should I go and
get him, or just wait?

I talked to him, I didn't get
anything.

Oh, good morning. I
didn't want to wake you.

- Is everything all right?
- Yeah, I just,

I realized something this
morning.

- About the third riddle?
- Which we know

is connected to John Murtaugh.

- Right.
- He's dead,

I know, but there's a
part of him that's not.

(suspenseful music)

- John Murtaugh. Still a
presence, even from the grave.

- What are we looking for?

- I'm not sure exactly,

but I have a feeling this
was put here for a reason.

- Agreed. It must be a clue.

- "The sun is hidden." Evelyn's
son!

- Is that hologram lady coming
back?

I didn't love her.

- The third line of the poem
is "Shrouded in deception."

- That's it. The beard.

- The beard that John Murtaugh
was wearing

as a disguise when he
was shot with the arrow.

- On the right side of his neck.

(screen whooshes)

(somber music)

- This man is really and truly
dead.

(screen whooshes)

(stone scraping)

- Whoa!

- I didn't see that coming.

(suspenseful music)

- Those look like Stanley's
glasses.

- Jason.

(gentle suspenseful music)

- Stay here.

(suspenseful music)

(Jason gasps)

(dramatic music)

Em!

- Looks like blood splatter

- And a bullet hole.

(sighs) He was in my custody.

- Hey, don't go there.

This isn't your fault, but
we should tell the others.

(gentle dramatic music)

(gentle ominous music)

- But so, if the killer didn't
break in-

- The keypad is intact, which
means they knew the code.

- So Stanley wasn't the killer?

- Or he was the inside man all
along

and his partner killed him.

- Which means that we
undoubtedly
have a killer amongst us.

- On my island.

- Janey, could you take
everyone to the game room?

Jason and I will be there in a
minute

to come up with a plan.

- Oh. (clears throat)

Everyone.

(soft suspenseful music)

- What's going on?

- (exclaims) Something's
bothering me.

(gentle dramatic music)

Why put Stanley's glasses in
there?

- That's a really good question.

- Evelyn's whole message
was built around the idea

of disappointment in her son.

- What are you saying?

- I think we should write down

everything that's happened
since we've arrived.

Not the puzzles, just
the plain simple facts.

(slow dramatic music)

(foreboding music)

It's quite clever.

- No argument here.

- (gasps) What are you doing?

- Janey.
- We've been looking for you.

- Sorry, we-
- You two being in here,

you were making yourselves
targets for the killer!

- That's not true. Is it,
Khalif?

- What are you talking about?

- It's a lot.

We should chat with
everyone at the same time.

- Janey, could you gather
everyone on the veranda please?

- Right.

(suspenseful music)

- What is this all about?

- We don't have time
for any more gameplay.

- I agree. As of this moment,
the game playing is over.

- Well, that's a rather cryptic
statement.

- Cryptic and meta, which is

what our "Mystery Island"
team have been experiencing,

beginning with a video of the
mother

of "Mystery Island"'s founder,

delivering a very cryptic
message to us.

- Which we solved last night,
and which-

- Jason, forgive me, but we all
know this.

And it doesn't change the fact
that three people are dead

and there is still a killer out
there.

- Three people dead, but
yet where are their bodies?

- Well, the killer took Regan's
body

to draw us out of the mansion
that night.

- Perhaps, but then there's
Dex thrown off a tower,

yet a body is nowhere to be
found.

- Yes, the killer dragged it
away.

- Maybe, but then there's
Stanley, shot sometime last
night.

His glasses were left behind,
but his body was taken?

- Right, so three murders
and three missing bodies.

- Evelyn's riddles pointed us
to this very meta solution.

The person who isn't what they
seem to be is John Murtaugh,

whose final act of his
lifetime was to stage a murder

that wasn't a murder.

(screen whooshes)

(trigger clicks)
(dart whizzes and thuds)

(suspenseful music)
(screen whooshes)

- We should have known this
was a mockery of John Murtaugh

as soon as Regan was shot
with a remote-controlled dart.

- Ah, h- hang on.

Are you saying that the
three people aren't dead?

Because I mean, we all saw Regan
die.

You checked her pulse yourself.

- Or she faked her convulsions

and her lack of pulse was due

to her so-called anxiety
medication.

(gentle dramatic music)

A beta blocker would slow
her heart down enough

that her pulse wouldn't
be felt with a hand.

(screen whooshes)

- Khalif, you were the last one
to join us

out here after the explosion.

(screen whooshes)
(suspenseful music)

- [Emilia] Were you giving
Regan a shot of epinephrine

to revive her, enabling her to
simply walk out of the house?

(Regan gasping)
- Shh, shh, shh, shh.

Come on, come with me.

You're okay, you're okay. That's
it.

(screen whooshes)

- Khalif, is this true?

(suspenseful music)

- I'd like to hear what
else they have to say.

(gentle dramatic music)

- Remember, Regan's death
wasn't the first thing

that went wrong that night.

First was the revelation

of Inga's so-called criminal
history.

Inga and Dex's quick exit gave
them time

to put explosives onto
the Bluetooth terminal,

which could have been
triggered by the same remote

that triggered the dart
gun, which shot Regan.

- Telemachus roughly translates
to Archer,

but it actually means far from
battle

because an archer can
kill from a distance.

- [Jason] He could have
hidden it behind a book

before he insisted we frisk
everyone.

- Then Dex, along with
a very much alive Regan,

and Khalif, staged his death at
the ruins.

(dramatic music)

He wore this hat not
only to irritate Janey,

but so there would be a
recognizable clothing item

to draw everyone's attention.

- What about Stanley?

- Stanley becomes crucial at
this point.

Everything he said and did

was designed to make
him our prime suspect.

- [Emilia] He pulled a knife on
Jason

to ensure he'd get locked up.

- Making Inga so scared to be
here,

we all had to stay in one room
together.

- Which gave Dex, Regan,
and Stanley plenty of time

to stage Stanley's murder.

Queue us with the replica
glasses in the hidden box,

and dispatch one final
insult to John Murtaugh.

- A rather brilliant callback

to the original murder
of "Mystery Island."

- And a very meta game for us
all to play.

- Three murders that, like
Murtaugh's,

weren't murders at all.

(group applauding)

(group chuckling)

- Well done!

Bravo. Bravo!

Well done, you two.

I bet Regan you wouldn't
be able to solve it.

- And I'm happy to say you
owe me a nice big check.

(Dex chuckles)

- Please forgive my bit of
deception

about your academic record, Tom.

- No worries, man. This was
awesome.

- And Emilia, my apologies

for bringing Lonnie Alfred into
this.

I hope I didn't cause
you any undue stress.

I respect your work immensely.

- Thank you.
- Detective,

I do hope you'll consider
dropping the charges.

- We're good.

- But I do have one more
thing to say to Dex.

- Oh yeah. What's that?

- Thanks for letting me
play the bad guy for once.

(both laugh)

- Hats off to you,
Stanley. You're a legend.

- Ah.

- And Carlos, did we
meet the gold standard

set by the "Mystery Island"
team?

- I am completely blown away.

- And Janey.

- Yes, I must admit I am also
blown away.

- Well, I learned from studying
the best.

You are incredible at this.
I was just trying to keep up.

- Well, I was worried that
you would outshine us,

and I think that you might have.

- Nonsense. I'm honored
to have you as a mentor.

- Oh, so I'm your boss?

(Dex laughs)

No, no, I think, I think
that's about right.

(chuckles) No, I think
that we can all agree

that "Mystery Mountain"
is in very good hands.

- I second that.
- Third.

- To the first of many.

- Hear, hear.
(group applauding)

- Well then, (sighs) should
we head to the dining room

for a victory lunch?

- Is anyone else starving?

- Oh yes, I'll say. (chuckles)

I think we should get
that wonderful ice cream

that we got from Los Angeles.

(uplifting music)

- Not hungry?

- Famished.

- But?
- But I've been wanting

to do something for a really
long time.

- What?

(birds chirping)

(gentle romantic music)

Almost better than solving any
game.

- Agreed.

- I think the best game will be

trying to solve the mystery of
you.

(gentle triumphant music)

- Finally.

(bright upbeat music)

(Emilia and Jason chuckle)

(gentle uplifting music)

(upbeat music)

(gentle uplifting music)
