- OK, I think we're gonna need to hear that story.
342
00:14:35,629 --> 00:14:38,406
Well, the case rested on a
licence plate, and I was young,
343
00:14:38,427 --> 00:14:40,147
- and I thought I'd remember it.
- Mmhm.
344
00:14:40,246 --> 00:14:41,951
But it took an extra
week to find the guy
345
00:14:41,977 --> 00:14:43,971
- because I didn't write it down.
- Oh.
346
00:14:44,141 --> 00:14:46,707
Lesson being: always take notes.
347
00:14:46,741 --> 00:14:48,041

- Sure.
350
00:14:52,976 --> 00:14:55,078
- You mean one of the mistakes that I made, or...
- OK.
351
00:14:56,411 --> 00:14:58,732
Um, a big one for me would be listening
352
00:14:58,780 --> 00:15:01,173
and not just hearing the
words that people are saying,
353
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,693
but listening for the words
they might not be saying.
354
00:15:03,746 --> 00:15:06,193

- Did you hear Topher got a new agent?
355
00:15:06,412 --> 00:15:07,912

- OK.
358

... I'd say the biggest blunder
359
00:15:14,222 --> 00:15:16,978
is not checking for
prints on everything.
360
00:15:17,407 --> 00:15:20,994
Apparently, Eve Harridan's
movie deal is seven figures,
361
00:15:21,004 --> 00:15:24,088
- and the book hasn't even come out yet.
- It's pure luck.

from a glass you served her

- A poisoned glass.

00:21:57,836 --> 00:21:59,969
She, uh, picked a
random glass off my tray.
512

- I don't even pour them.
- Who does?
513
00:22:01,710 --> 00:22:04,716
I don't know. I pick a tray of
drinks from the bar, circulate,
514
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,429
- bring the empty tray back.
- You sure about that, David?
515
00:22:07,461 --> 00:22:09,332
- Yeah.
- 'Cause we don't like being lied to.

- No, we do not, Shade.

10 minutes before I got it.

have a jealous housekeeper.

to steal my murder case.

Look, Shade wasn't sure he
could handle the witness,
534
00:22:55,014 --> 00:22:58,283
- so he asked for my help.
- What?! I took pity on you and let you help!

OK, boys! Focus.

Right. This David Marks guy,

he says he saw Helen and Timothy in
a quote unquote close conversation.
538
00:23:07,609 --> 00:23:09,831
I saw them talking too. It looked tense.
539
00:23:09,847 --> 00:23:13,073
- Lovers' quarrel?
- If Helen and Timothy were having an affair,
540
00:23:13,209 --> 00:23:15,647
maybe... Timothy got jealous when he saw
541
00:23:15,666 --> 00:23:18,235
Percy talking about how great
Helen is and how much he loves her?
542
00:23:18,248 --> 00:23:20,777
So, in a jealous rage, he poisons her.
543
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,370
That would explain why he was
so eager to get to her body.

To cover up the evidence,
which he'd know how to do.

Strangler went to prison,

bet he had a ritual
847
00:36:01,141 --> 00:36:02,709
every time he finished a manuscript?
848
00:36:02,772 --> 00:36:05,772
Pour a glass of whisky spark up a cigar.
849
00:36:05,804 --> 00:36:07,775
A new Percy novel, a dead Percy.
850
00:36:08,188 --> 00:36:09,840
I don't think that's a coincidence.
851
00:36:09,897 --> 00:36:11,189
Neither do I.
852
00:36:12,924 --> 00:36:15,250
(ANGIE): Hey, Danica.
Thanks for getting us in.
853
00:36:15,303 --> 00:36:18,494
Eve didn't happen to mention
where the manuscript might be?
854
00:36:19,668 --> 00:36:21,764
Really? Check the freezer.
855
00:36:21,799 --> 00:36:23,967
- The freezer?
- It's where Eve said to look.
856
00:36:24,001 --> 00:36:26,903
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
857
00:36:30,385 --> 00:36:31,723
Here it is.
858
00:36:33,585 --> 00:36:36,408
"Chesterfield Journals by Percy Voss."
859
00:36:36,429 --> 00:36:38,368
We got it. Thanks, Danica.
860
00:36:38,624 --> 00:36:40,877
- (PHONE BEEPS)
- We should've known.
861
00:36:40,919 --> 00:36:43,879
- Why?
- Because he only writes on a typewriter,
862
00:36:43,889 --> 00:36:45,238
so there wouldn't be a digital copy.
863
00:36:45,275 --> 00:36:47,716
Explains why he hides
it, but why the freezer?
864
00:36:47,752 --> 00:36:50,864
Eve told Danica that he did
it after his first bestseller,
865
00:36:50,869 --> 00:36:52,431
and he's done it ever since.
Apparently, the only people
866
00:36:52,452 --> 00:36:54,607
that even know that are Eve and Helen.
867
00:36:54,628 --> 00:36:57,027
So someone killed
Percy, searched the suite
868
00:36:57,064 --> 00:36:58,999
for the manuscript, couldn't find it.
869
00:36:59,036 --> 00:37:01,086
The one thing I don't get
is what does any of this
870
00:37:01,103 --> 00:37:02,317
have to do with Helen?
871
00:37:05,310 --> 00:37:08,957
This is weird. This novel takes
place in the Victorian era.
872
00:37:08,973 --> 00:37:10,918
Isn't that Stephanie May's genre?
873
00:37:11,001 --> 00:37:14,684
It is. Maybe... Percy was branching out?
874
00:37:14,718 --> 00:37:16,617
Or edging into Stephanie's territory.
875
00:37:16,628 --> 00:37:19,941
- Maybe she felt threatened.
- Yo, I think I have something here.
876
00:37:24,028 --> 00:37:26,620
By the time this airs,
the book will be released.
877
00:37:26,879 --> 00:37:30,590
The Chesterfield Journals follows
Detective Rip Chesterfield
878
00:37:30,611 --> 00:37:33,643
as he investigates a supernatural murder
879
00:37:33,735 --> 00:37:35,551
in Victorian-era Chicago.
880
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,115
That's almost exactly
what Stephanie said
881
00:37:37,132 --> 00:37:39,257
her next steampunk novel was about.
882
00:37:39,462 --> 00:37:40,968
Is it possible they had the same idea?
883
00:37:41,001 --> 00:37:42,678
Percy could've stolen her book.
884
00:37:42,754 --> 00:37:44,238
He's written countless bestsellers.
885
00:37:44,268 --> 00:37:46,443
She's written one. There'd be
no reason to steal her book.
886
00:37:46,602 --> 00:37:49,706
- On the other hand...
- Stephanie May desperately needs a hit.
887
00:37:49,731 --> 00:37:52,483
Otherwise, she'll lose her
house, her career, everything.
888
00:37:52,613 --> 00:37:55,227
Percy could've written
this book for Stephanie.
889
00:37:55,248 --> 00:37:58,895
It would explain why it takes
place in Victorian times.
890
00:37:58,949 --> 00:38:00,930
Yeah, but Percy doesn't
seem like the kind of guy
891
00:38:00,964 --> 00:38:02,899
who would write a book
to help out a friend.
892
00:38:03,085 --> 00:38:04,256
They're not friends.
893
00:38:04,390 --> 00:38:06,272
Percy and Stephanie
barely know each other.
894
00:38:06,306 --> 00:38:07,652
They live in different cities.
895
00:38:07,671 --> 00:38:10,573
They have different fan bases.
They run in different circles.
896
00:38:10,607 --> 00:38:12,073
So nothing connects these two.
897

Oh! Thank you so much. I...
905

must've left it in all the chaos.
906

Percy took it to keep it safe, I'm sure.
907
00:38:32,333 --> 00:38:33,755
You know, this weekend,
908
00:38:33,847 --> 00:38:36,031
we've been inspired
to write our own novel.
909
00:38:36,382 --> 00:38:37,883
Could we pitch it to you?
910
00:38:38,088 --> 00:38:39,402
It's about a young writer.
911
00:38:39,414 --> 00:38:41,873
Let's call her...
Stephanie, just for fun.
912
00:38:42,103 --> 00:38:44,167
She wrote a good book and
was given a small fortune
913
00:38:44,184 --> 00:38:47,276
to write another one,
but she couldn't deliver.
914
00:38:47,311 --> 00:38:49,059
So her publishers
demanded the money back.
915
00:38:49,110 --> 00:38:52,702
Meanwhile, a very successful
writer, let's call him...
916
00:38:53,049 --> 00:38:56,168
Percy, hated his wife
and wanted her dead.
917
00:38:56,220 --> 00:38:58,286
So the two writers
cooked up this scheme.
918
00:38:58,504 --> 00:38:59,805
Does this sound familiar?
919
00:38:59,847 --> 00:39:01,344
Heh. No.
920
00:39:01,620 --> 00:39:03,025
He ghostwrote your book for you.
921
00:39:03,460 --> 00:39:06,509
That's ridiculous. What?
Why would he do that?
922
00:39:06,551 --> 00:39:08,262
Because you were
willing to kill his wife.
923
00:39:08,316 --> 00:39:10,454
Classic Strangers on
the Train agreement.
924
00:39:10,479 --> 00:39:13,406
No one would suspect you. You've
got no connection to Helen, and...
925
00:39:13,519 --> 00:39:15,109
Percy seemed to adore his wife.
926
00:39:15,150 --> 00:39:17,012
But, like any good mystery writer,
927
00:39:17,091 --> 00:39:18,748
you added a red herring.
928
00:39:18,789 --> 00:39:22,399
You planted the rat poison in
Eve's room to try to frame her.
929
00:39:22,428 --> 00:39:25,159
Except you miscalculated your partner.
930
00:39:25,168 --> 00:39:27,790
Percy realized he
ghostwrote a bestseller.
931
00:39:27,911 --> 00:39:29,718
And he refused to give it to you...
932
00:39:30,190 --> 00:39:33,043
which must have been a big bummer,
since you already killed his wife.
933
00:39:33,085 --> 00:39:35,946
The only option you had
left was to kill Percy
934
00:39:36,022 --> 00:39:37,862
and try to make it look like a suicide.
935
00:39:37,925 --> 00:39:39,896
And then, take his
manuscript as your own.

and you did write this,

You don't know the answer
'cause you didn't write it.

Then, you typed a fake suicide note.

Next time you wanna make it look
like a suicide, do me a favour:
