Is anyone out there?

THE LAWS OF THE MYSTERIES: DEATH HISTORY

Ithaca, New York State

Translate, adapt, subtitle: okid

Oh, man!

Dad, did you sleep a little last night?

Oh, maybe a few minutes.

Hey, listen up, people.

Before we get in there - I know you've heard that before

- but I can't even tell you how much I appreciate it.

that you left everything and came with me on the night plane.

Well, he's my relative, too.

Yes, and you guys are almost like my family, so...

Let's go.

Hello friends.

Harry Ridgeway.

Amy Winslow, we talked on the phone.

My father, Graham.

Hi. We talked too.

And he's our friend, Travis.

Travis Burke. I am pleased to meet you.

And I on you, I regret that in such circumstances, but...

Please take a seat.

Yes OK.

Well, I did a general search for him and his car, which is also missing.

I spent most of yesterday searching in the woods near his property,

but the dogs could not smell any of it.

Since our last discussion, have you ever received a redemption request?

Not.

When was the last time you talked to your brother?

Well, I saw him a week or so ago.

I was in town for a book reading.

Since then, I haven't had a chance to talk to him.

How did you feel? Something unusual about him?

Well... I mentioned something to Amy,

namely, that he left right in the middle of my reading.

And he came back at the end, saying he had an emergency at work,

but... at 8:30 in the evening, what kind of emergency could a history teacher have? So...

Did you press him with that?

He doesn't like me when I'm critical.

How would you describe your relationship with your brother?

He's my little brother.

We live thousands of miles away and are very busy with our lives.

So don't get too close.

Not.

But... since my wife died, I wanted to get closer to him.

And, to be honest, Sheriff...

I'm completely scared that I won't get a chance to do this again.

Amy said you found blood stains on Al's house.

We're trying to see their fit

with the DNA I extracted from Professor Winslow's comb.

How long will this take?

Three days.

72 hours.

So, do you know the time frame for finding missing people?

I'm a detective novelist, sheriff.

And Travis works in your field.

More more.

What's the matter, you don't trust me, Mr. Winslow?

Oh, no, no, no. Not. That's not what this is about.

- Not? - Not.

I'm here to support my friends.

And speaking of cops, I have no intention of violating your jurisdiction, Sheriff.

It's okay if you call me Harry.

And, to tell you the truth,

You could help me with that, Detective.

I'm available for anything you need.

Amy... is a consultant with my Washington police department

and it has helped us solve quite a few recent cases,

so it's a real treasure.

OK.

So what can I tell you to help you stay up to date?

Well... can you find out the last person who actually spoke to my uncle?

From what I could verify, this would

be his assistant professor, Lucy Harding.

She was with him at his office on

Friday until he left home around 5:00 PM.

Dad and I know Lucy.

She's a smart young woman.

We couldn't find his phone,

so it's either closed or destroyed, but records show that

his last call on that phone was at 4:55 PM on Friday.

Does he have a landline at home?

Yes, and he got a call on him Friday

night at 9:27 PM from a prepaid cell phone.

Sure he answered, but it was the last call he received.

Are you saying no one has seen or talked to him since?

So that means there's a high probability that

Alister has been missing for more than 72 hours!

Let's not worry prematurely, Mr. Winslow.

Especially since you brought reinforcements with you.

Good?

Where are you staying, friends?

The Kent Lake House.

How about your accommodation

and then meet at your uncle's house?

So we can all go to the scene

and maybe you'll find something we missed.

OK.

- Thanks. - Thank you, Sheriff.

- Thanks. -... Harry.

OK. Hey, how are you today?

So, look, this is... for us.

Thanks a lot, see you upstairs in the room.

Hey, folks.

So listen...

I know you have experience,

but I wouldn't mind following you.

Oh, you see, Graham, I know you're tense and

you're worried about your brother, I understand,

but this is an ongoing investigation. It's dangerous.

Yes, and, Dad, you didn't sleep at all.

You can barely keep your eyes open.

How about just taking a 30-minute nap, you know?

A nap?!

Travis? Come on.

Graham, I'm sorry, I'm on Amy's side this time.

- Father? - Not.

Father!

Welcome to Kent Lake House.

Hi, this is Graham Winslow.

Yes, Mr Winslow, we have your reservations.

That's great.

The two have an appointment and

were hoping to take their luggage.

Of course. Miss Winslow, Mr. Burke, we will take care of your luggage.

And these are your keys.

- Thanks. - Thanks.

Miss...

Espinosa, but you can call me Jennifer.

Thanks, Jennifer.

OK. I'll call you after my 30-minute nap... maximum.

Okay, Dad.

I do not know what to say. From the way he said it, do you think it's going to be 30 minutes?

It will be four hours.

So, since when have you not seen your uncle?

For a few years.

I stayed with him at - ha! - Aunt Carmela.

Why do you say "ha! - aunt"? What this means?

Well, because we're both pretty much the same age.

I don't even call her "aunt," you know?

- Okay. - You know Uncle Alister

- Is he only a few years older than me? - No, I didn't know.

Yes. So when Grandma died,

the grandfather married his stepmother

who was much younger.

- Okay. - They had Uncle Alister.

I mean, my dad was in high school when Alister was born.

So, "little brother"... literally?

Yes. Correct.

And it's correct to use the word "literally."

I'm careful when you share what you're passionate about, Amy.

Mmm. Smart man.

Well, this is an honorable collection.

Yes, he specialized in history in the second half of the 20th century.

He spent a lot of time on eBay and at junk sales.

I mean, some of this stuff is pretty valuable.

Yes, I would say the same.

So, as far as I can see, nothing has been searched.

I don't think anything was stolen.

His assistant professor said the same thing.

When she came looking for him on Monday, the front door was unlocked.

- What about the back door? - Locked.

And all the windows, the same.

- So anyone who came on Friday... - He let her in.

- Yes. "Well, let it be!"

Maybe he offered the visitor a drink.

Come here.

Lucy enters, sees the broken bottle and dry blood.

Okay, so the broken glass was here?

Yes.

You know, there wasn't much blood in the picture.

Yeah. Someone must have cut himself.

Anyway, Lucy gets scared and, looking for Al, ends up in the bedroom.

Show me.

We fired a single bullet from the floor here.

This is .22 caliber.

Uh, but what's with these traces?

They match your uncle's, because I found them all over the house.

Did you find any other traces in the house?

Not blood, but, yes.

Of Lucy Harding and some of his ex-wife, Carmela Rhee.

Towels missing.

The strange incident of the dog during the night.

Wait, did he have a dog?

Mm... no.

Oh, no, sorry.

It's just... well, it reminds me of a Sherlock Holmes story I'm teaching...

"The Adventures of Silver Blaze". It's a stolen horse.

Anyway, what I mean is that Sherlock was able

to solve the mystery based on what was missing.

Which, in this case, was the barking of the dog.

And the lack of towels could mean the one who fired

Did he bring Uncle Al in here to bandage his wound?

Which could mean the shooting was unintentional.

That means the shooter wanted to make sure your uncle survived.

Yes.

What are you looking for?

Nothing.

Literally.

Empty spaces.

And more things are missing.

It's a wardrobe full of empty hangers.

Are you saying they packed his clothes?

It looks like it.

Hey, have you taken the evidence from this table yet?

No why?

Well, because my father, uncle and I each had the same habit...

I kept a stack of books that I read.

And you can see where the trace of the sun has remained,

so why... why would he pack his books and clothes?

Good question.

But, I tell you, I'm glad we have you two on the team.

How about we go to college and see what you see there?

I'd like you to talk to a few people while we're here.

Of course.

So... Lucy Harding, assistant professor...

do you say you know her

Yes I know her.

She heard your uncle arguing with this guy on Friday...

Mark Lyons?

Do you know who he is?

He's another history teacher.

In fact, he's my uncle's protégé.

I don't know him very well. I only met him once.

What were they arguing about?

According to Mark, for her.

Carmela Rhee.

She's your ex-aunt who doesn't like to be called an "aunt."

Yeah.

Mark says he warned Al about Carmela that she was trying to get fired.

Al, fired? Why?

Why don't we ask him?

- Professor Lyons. - Sheriff!

This is Amy Winslow.

Oh, of course, Al's niece.

We met a few years ago.

Do you teach literature at Elmstead College?

- Good memory. - Well, I'm a history teacher.

He's Detective Burke.

They helped me find Al Winslow.

Hello.

- Do you have time to talk? - Of course.

Please come in.

The sheriff said you and Al had an argument on Friday ?!

Quarrel? Uh...

"I don't think I used that word." - Not?

But what word did you use?

Al was upset about something I had told him.

What?

Carmela threatened to bring him before the faculty ethics committee.

- For what? - I do not know.

Then how do you know she was planning to do that?

She told me.

I'm sure when he talked to you, Sheriff,

- She denied. - Yes.

Yeah, typical for Carmela.

He's been trying for years to get me and Al.

Did you know she was having an affair?

I knew something about it,

but my uncle didn't talk about it.

Do you know who?

Not.

Al didn't know either.

I wish I could have been more helpful.

Here, feel free to contact me, Amy.

- For any. - Of course.

Thanks.

I think I need to talk to Carmela alone.

Yes, it's probably a good idea.

It suits me.

See you at your uncle's office.

Ok, bye.

Carmela?

Oh hi.

Amy.

You're here because of Al!?!

Yes.

Want to talk a little?

Sure. Come on in.

Sheriff.

- Oh, is there something...? - No no. No news yet.

He's Detective Burke.

He gives us a helping hand.

- Hi, Lucy. - Hi.

Can we take another look at Professor Winslow's office?

Of course, yes, no problem.

Oh, wow!

Wow.

So his office was searched?

We did our best not to move anything.

Yes, Al had his own organization. He knew where they were all.

It would have been a misfortune if he came back and things were not in order.

- So, is this... order? - Yeah.

So Dad, Travis and I jumped on the first plane available.

Travis is a true friend.

Or... maybe it's more than that?

Well, Travis and I, of course, faced our

reasonable share of ... challenges. Yes.

Facing challenges will either bring people closer or distance them.

What challenges distanced you from my uncle?

I've always admired your frankness.

And I've always been impressed by your delightful way of dodging you.

I guess we fit in with our specializations in literature.

Police fiction reveals everything.

Victorian romance is all about avoidance and concealment.

Look, Carmela... I'm not here to argue with you.

But I'm just trying to figure it out

if there's anything about your separation from my uncle

to help me figure out where he is and what happened to him.

The police asked the same thing

and I will tell you what I told them.

I left 9 months ago, and I

haven't had much contact since.

Okay, when was the last time you talked to him?

What the?

Well, the reality is, we talked a little Friday.

But look, I don't want to speak ill of your uncle.

About what?

We had agreed at the divorce that, among other things,

I'll take the Mercedes, and he'll buy back half of my house from me.

The judge signed the divorce papers three weeks

ago, but your uncle still owes me the money.

Friday, he passed by, mad at me,

and he told me he didn't feel good about being threatened.

Did you threaten him?

Certainly not.

He said something about a note pasted on his office door.

I told him I didn't know what he was talking about.

Did he tell you what was written on the note?

Not.

He just apologized and left.

When was that?

Friday afternoon.

Correct.

Thanks for your time.

- Hey. "Hey, I thought I heard you."

Get in.

I know, I messed up the "organization."

I'll accept the blame, Lucy.

But in order to find something

useful here, I needed real order.

OK.

- How did it go? - Good.

Uh, Lucy, did my uncle ever mention anything on Friday

about a threatening message pasted on this door?

Uh, no.

Threatening what?

Well, I don't know the exact details,

but he told Carmela about it.

Are you referring to this door?

Yes.

Do you know what some of my favorite things are?

Security cameras.

We might be lucky.

Let's start Thursday night.

When did he leave the office?

- At 9:15 p.m. - OK.

Hey, who... who's that?

She's just a student meditating. And Janey Sullivan.

- Frank Sullivan's daughter? - Yes.

Who is Frank Sullivan?

He runs the largest construction company in the region, as well as the local political machinery.

- He's a strong guy. - Did he make you elected?

I have always competed as an independent.

Keep running.

"Don't you have night views of these rooms?" - I wish.

Yeah.

It's a university, you would expect it to have.

Wait, what's that?

It's an umbrella.

Well, it hasn't rained in weeks.

Hey, is there any way to run this on that big screen?

Sure.

There it is.

What time did Friday come?

Well, we don't have classes on Fridays, so it usually comes in the afternoon.

Okay, keep going and fast forward until then.

Oh, here he is.

What's on the door?

Zoom in.

Oh, it's a picture. Does it look like... a lake?

I do not know. Can you print this for me?

Of course.

Stop here.

"Stop it, or I'll destroy you too."

Our technicians will be watching.

Maybe they'll find out something about the person with the umbrella.

Yes, it suits me.

Hey, thanks, Harry.

Carmela said my uncle was trying to redeem him when he left the house,

but gave back with payment. Did you know about that?

I know he was running out of money and had taken a second job preparing an

exhibition of the history of the Kent Lake Hotel for the next anniversary.

Correct. Plus all the private meditations. Seriously, how many students did he have?

"Only Janey, but she didn't do it for money." - What do you mean?

It was just a favor for Janey's father.

Frank Sullivan... Were he and Al friends?

Uh, I think so, but Janeead's mother

Sinead was much more involved.

He kept examining Al to see how Janey was doing.

Don't you happen to have their phone number?

Sure, I can give Amy a message.

That's great. Okay, so... tight with money, but meditating for free?

I know, I don't like the way this math sounds either.

I received it, thank you.

Do you know anything about why Carmela broke up with my uncle?

Uh, I know it was her idea, and then, a month later,

she began to appear, bringing him pastries.

Did you think she might want to make peace with him?

- Yes, that's what I thought. - How did Al react to this?

He was very nice about it, but he made it clear that he was no longer interested.

Listen, I really have to go to class,

- but... - Of course.

Here's an extra key from the office.

Before you left, did you have

the password on Al's computer?

Yes. All passwords are "history101", but "history" is written backwards.

- Okay, I remembered. - Yes.

- Thanks, Lucy. - No, thank you.

I feel so much better now that you folks are here. Good.

Thanks, Lucy.

- Come on. - Yes.

Carmela said my uncle thought she left that ticket,

but why would she have written "Stop" if she wanted to make peace with him?

It makes no sense.

And then, what does "you" mean?

- That's right. - How many people do you destroy?

- Understand? - Yes.

- Travis? - Dap.

- Hi. - Yes.

- Yes. - The ticket.

- The ticket is problematic... - Yes.

But also your uncle's account. Look here, look.

So, your uncle...

covered a $ 100,000 credit card debt.

4 months ago.

Okay, what happened 4 months ago?

Well, 4 months ago he deposited $ 100,000 in cash.

Wow!

Every Friday, he withdrew $ 500 in cash, without exception.

So what if he borrowed that money from a moneylender?

And now he was paying the moneylender back.

Yes I understand. And what account statement does he have now?

It's better, look, he deposited another $ 25,000 two weeks ago.

But this time with a check.

- Can you extract the image? - I bet I can.

Kent Lake House. For advice.

So this must be the job Lucy told us about.

But, here's the thing... even so,

he still didn't have enough money to pay Carmela.

- for her half house. - That's right.

You know, I thought I was wrong about something.

- Seriously? - Yes.

You surprise me. What did you do wrong?

About my dad's 30-minute nap.

It lasted much more than 4 hours.

Yes it is.

Really.

OK. Well, I think I'll get my sandwich in the room.

To give.

I... I was thinking maybe we should eat together.

But it's okay, if you...

No, what are you saying? And I wanted that, to come to my room and eat together.

Aha, okay, so that's... "your idea." Aren't you stealing it from me?

Are you really accusing me of stealing?

Well, that's just because you steal.

Hey, folks!

- Hi. - Hi!

It seemed to me that I heard voices.

- Hi, Dad. - How did you sleep? How?

Oh, I slept fantastically.

Hey, I ordered in the room. Do

you want to join me and let me know?

Can we... make a plan for tomorrow?

- Absolutely. - Yes.

Okay, come on, come in.

- Okay. - Let's do it.

- Hi, Dad. - Hi sweety.

Hi.

Come in, buddy.

We have some sandwiches.

Yes, good. Good. I ordered room service.

- Hi. - Good morning.

Good morning. How did you sleep?

Well, deep.

Until 6:00 in the morning when I woke up worrying again.

- How did you sleep? - You know.

Hey, good morning.

I'd like a cup of coffee. Black, please.

Let there be two. Thanks.

- Good morning, Dad. - Good morning.

Therefore?

How are we doing with the agenda of activities we did last night?

Okay, so I talked to the dean and arranged a meeting to

talk about Carmela's complaint to the ethics committee.

That's great. And I talked to Harry

and I briefed him on everything he missed yesterday. We'll meet here.

That's great. That's great.

I contacted Sinead Sullivan

and I told him about Alister,

- and she agreed to meet today. - Okay, good.

And I also saw Jennifer at the front desk

and I asked her if we could talk to the person in charge

of Alister's consulting work for them.

Wow, bravo, Dad, you're on stage.

I'm just embodying Atticus Keller as best I can.

Thanks.

- Hi, folks. - Hi.

This is Olly Kent, general manager at Lake House.

- Hi. - Graham Winslow.

Oh, Pi Beta Gamma.

Yes. Are you from the fraternity?

Oh, no, no. I taught many of them,

In my previous life, when I was a college professor.

Amy Winslow, delighted to meet you.

- Hi. - Hello. Travis Burke.

- I'm glad. - So you built this place?

My father.

Everything was deserted here before he had this

dream of building a top resort in downtown New York.

Well, it's wonderful.

Yes, I'm lucky I was handed the baton.

Olly is also our photographer.

He took all these pictures.

Well, I used my drone to do that.

Mr. Winslow.

I feel a little embarrassed, but I was wondering...

You don't have to feel that way. A writer without a pen.

Olly, right?

Yes please.

So, my brother, Alister, is

doing consulting work for you here

and... I was wondering what she was.

- Jen, do you know that? - No, I'm sorry, I haven't.

Did you say your brother told you that?

In fact, my uncle is gone.

No one has seen him since Friday.

Oh God. That's creepy. I'm really sorry.

Are you saying, however, that you haven't heard anything about consulting?

Maybe Mrs. Kent knows something.

My mother. Eleanor.

She and I are co-owners.

It's very likely.

Jen, do you want to take care of yourself? I need to call the suppliers.

Of course.

Please contact us. Let's see if there's anything we can do.

- That's great. Nice to meet you. "Nice to meet you."

I repeat, a wonderful place.

Eleanor Kent.

Nice to meet you all.

Pleased.

Yes, I hired Al Winslow.

In two years it will be the 50th anniversary of this place and we wanted

to create at Lake House a place dedicated to the history of our family.

from its earliest times.

And I deeply regret the new turn of events.

Did you talk to Harry Ridgeway? He's an old friend.

He is very helpful.

Yes, Mrs. Kent, when was the last time you saw Al?

Well, that was when he hit the attic in my attic.

- About a week ago. - Did he hit the attic in your attic?

Yes, he wanted to find out anything about the history of Kent Lake House

and our family.

So it started with my husband's and... Meg's documents.

And who is Meg?

My daughter. He died.

This summer marks 20 years since then.

Regret.

It was a terrible day.

To lose both Meg and Mr. Kent.

Was it an accident?

In Meg's case, yes.

He lost control of the boat on the lake.

She and Olly were competing that night,

for they had done so many times before.

But when I told Preston that Meg had...

Mr. Kent had undergone open heart surgery just two weeks before.

On the news of Meg, he had a heart attack that was fatal.

How awful.

Regret.

And you, Jennifer, were you here then?

Oh yes.

Jennifer basically grew up at Lake House.

My mother worked at the front desk, just like me.

But forgive me, here you are, currently facing a crisis,

and I've been talking about pain for two decades.

Pain doesn't take time.

My wife died three years ago.

Never get over it. You just endure it.

You know, this is really a wonderful place.

Yes it is.

Looks like a lot of weddings are being held here.

Oh, Dad. It's really organized, isn't it?

- Yes. - Who did you hear that from?

From the brochure.

- Do you have a brochure? - Yes. See?

Weddings.

Father.

- Hey, Dad... - Yes.

Where did you get this from?

From the front shelf, why?

Because that's the same image I found on Alister's door.

From here it is.

All right, what if the kidnapper left the door?

- That would mean that... - What?

Oh, hey, Harry.

So, this is exactly the same as the note left on Uncle Alister's door.

Oh God. I feel like an idiot.

These illustrations are sold all over the city.

You know it takes a while to notice what was right in front of your eyes.

Yes. Yes, I know the phenomenon.

So if the kidnapper left this picture on your brother's door, that might mean

he knew Al was working on the history project for Kent Lake House, right?

So who knew that?

Well, as far as we know for sure,

Eleanor Kent and Lucy Harding.

Lucy ?! The one who had access to your uncle's office

and his house for days before we found out he was gone?

I don't know what to say, Harry. I trust her.

Well, why don't we all go talk to her?

"With you, she might feel more at ease." - Okay. I like this.

Divide and conquer, so Travis and I will go talk to the dean

- about the ethics commission. - Sounds good.

OK.

I was hoping you'd give me some news about Al.

Well, nothing concrete, but we found out some things and we hope they will help us.

That's why we're here to talk to you.

I understand.

Is there an ethics commission investigation into Al?

Legally, we have very strict rules on these issues.

I have to be careful.

However, if you rephrase the question, you will be

able to ask about the subject of an investigation.

Is Al the subject of an investigation?

Not.

Okay, but can you tell us who he is?

- No, not without a warrant. - Good.

"I have a question for you, though." - Yes?

Who told you about that?

Mark Lyons told us that my ex-aunt filed a complaint.

Well, without revealing anything,

I would suggest you look at this a little more closely.

- Well, thank you, Dean. - Thank you.

A good day.

Uh, that was a revelation.

Yeah, so either Mark lied to us...

Either Carmela lied to him.

Exact.

Hi, Carmela, can we talk to you for a minute?

I'd love to hang out, but I have a course to teach.

OK. Then we'll go with you.

It shouldn't take long.

Well, what... what is it?

- And who is he? - I'm Travis Burke.

Oh, boyfriend.

What exactly did my uncle say about the note you left on the door?

I didn't leave him, I told you that.

That's right, of course, but what did he say?

I don't remember the exact words.

Okay, okay, I happen to have a copy of that message.

- Okay. - And, you know, when I read it,

I couldn't understand why my uncle would have thought you wrote it.

I have no idea.

And I have to go into the classroom.

Is it because you filed a complaint against him on the ethics committee?

Who told you that?

It's true?

Ask your uncle if you can find him.

I have a course to teach.

So... did you use the word "beloved" !?

No, I didn't use that word.

I mean, I'm not against using it, but...

So, I just found out that Al was not the subject of a complaint to the ethics committee.

There is a possibility that he did, in fact, file a complaint against Carmela.

So she lied before?

Well, Mark said she was thinking of claiming it.

Maybe hers was a counter-complaint.

Hey, did you do a full background check on Carmela and Mark?

That was on my list of actions, but I moved it to the top of the list as a priority.

- Graham! - Hey, hello, kid.

I received your message, but I was teaching a course.

- I'm glad you're here. - How do you resist?

Like you, I'm sure.

Any progress?

We were really wondering if you were helping Alister with his Kent Lake House project.

Of course, I mean I help him whenever I can,

but Al had just begun collecting documents and the like.

It's weird, I didn't see anything about Lake House in Al's documents.

Well, that's because they're all mine.

Lucy, have you talked to anyone about this project before?

"Only Mark, which means Professor Lyons." - When was that?

Uh, Friday night. He came to me for dinner.

- What time did he leave? - Early.

Before 9:00 PM.

Yes, early.

Thanks, Lucy.

Sure. Keep me posted. Bye.

- See you later. - See you.

OK.

So he left before 9:00 PM.

Al received a phone call at 9:27 PM on a prepaid card.

Mark could have called to see if Al was home.

Once he got there, Al would surely have opened the door for him.

But what was the reason?

And how does that relate to the threat?

Suppose that the illustrated and the kidnapping are connected. But maybe I'm not.

Yeah, anyway, I want to talk to this guy.

Let's not go blind there, townsman.

Let's do some research first and see what I find about him.

Folks, we're expected at Sullivan's.

OK. Thanks.

See you soon, Harry.

An honorable building.

Hi.

This is Graham Winslow. This is my daughter, Amy Winslow.

Hi.

Travis Burke.

We have a meeting with Sinead and Janey Sullivan.

With me.

Frank Sullivan, I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Winslow.

- Come in. - Thanks.

"Thank you for receiving us." - Of course.

I'm glad to finally meet Al's famous, successful brother.

Well, you know. I'm doing well.

Better than that.

Tell him what you want to do, Janey.

I'm interested in writing.

You see, I wanted to integrate her into the family business.

I tried the "artist who has nothing to eat" argument, but...

What did you tell me, Janey?

That Professor Winslow's brother has sold millions of books.

And that he made millions of dollars out of it.

Don't forget this detail.

Frank, you make her feel embarrassed.

"And our guests." - No, it's okay.

Do I really do it?

Forgive me.

So how can we help you?

Well, I was really wondering,

Janey, when did you start working with Professor Winslow?

I arranged this.

Al and I have some agreements.

Yes, what kind of agreements?

You have to ask Al about this, don't you?

Did you meditate with Professor Winslow on Friday?

No, in fact, Al countermanded.

Do you know why he countermanded, Janey?

Well, he called me and just said something happened.

Yes.

And what did he look like on the phone when he talked to you?

Good.

But, you know, I don't know him very well.

So...

I understand.

Oh-oh. Sweetheart?

- Are you okay? - Yes, I only have a...

Sorry, these migraines are coming so fast.

I'm sorry to ask you this, but you have somehow...

"Something I could take for granted?" - Of course... Yes!

- Yeah sure. - Sorry.

Nothing.

- Oh God! - Drink some water.

I'm a little confused.

I thought you and my uncle talked a lot.

If Al told you that, then he also told you what my husband is capable of.

Sinead, I...

Your uncle made me think you were very smart.

If so, then you will leave these matters alone.

I would sincerely dislike someone else disappearing.

Yes, but why would Sinead be the cause of

Al's disappearance if they are still friends?

Yeah, you see, maybe I'm not, right?

Maybe I'm more than that, and maybe Frank Sullivan found out?

"I know what my husband is capable of."

Related to the blood in Alister's house...

Do you think Frank Sullivan...

- Father. - No no no.

No, come on. Ever since we heard about blood,

we've all thought that my little brother is...

- Hey, no. - No, no, no, no, no. That's my fault.

- What the? - Not.

You heard what Frank Sullivan said.

Particular agreements.

Al went to that scoundrel for money instead of coming to me.

Wait. Graham, we don't know if Frank Sullivan

he lent your brother $ 100,000. We don't know that.

Do you think that the head of the local political machinery,

who runs a construction business, is not suitable for usury?

No, I don't think so.

But if Frank Sullivan lent your brother money,

Don't you think he wanted Al around so he could get his money back?

You might be right.

Unless Sullivan found out that his wife and brother were confused.

Now, I know, I know, and I appreciate that you folks

are trying to keep me away from the cruel truth,

but we get nowhere unless we consider all the options.

But, Graham...

Who is?

I don't know, anonymous caller.

- Hello. - [Distorted voice:] Your uncle is with us.

It costs you $ 200,000 to get it back.

How do we know he's with you?

[Distorted voice:] Talk to them.

[Alister:] I'm okay. Do not worry. I'm sorry about that.

- [Distorted voice:] Enough. - Hey, hey, hey. Here... Graham Winslow.

I can get money.

No no.

It's just going to take me a while.

[Distorted voice:] You have three hours.

We'll call you later for further instructions,

but if I go to the police, Al Winslow dies.

Wait a minute, can I talk to Al, please?

Can I speak with...?

- I need to call my financial agent. - No, Dad, you have to...

She's alive, Amy. That's all that matters.

He's been at the bank for a long time.

- Look, he's coming. - Hey guys.

Hey.

Hey, how did it go?

I took them.

- What are we doing now? - Oh.

Now we're answering the phone.

Wait a second. Let me record this.

- Ready? - OK yes.

- Hello. - [Distorted voice:] Do you have the money?

Yes, I have them.

At 9:00 tonight, take the boat from the dock next to Kent Lake House and cross the lake.

You will receive future instructions once you reach the other shore.

If we see a cop, you can say goodbye to ever seeing your uncle again.

Hello?

Well, it's weird, it means they know and we're staying at Kent Lake House.

Honey, I don't... like this.

Dad, they just want the money.

You have no way of knowing that. What if he grabs you too?

I don't agree with that either, Amy,

but I have an idea that could make things a little safer.

I think we should get Sheriff Ridgeway involved.

No police. They were clear.

Well, aren't you from the police?

I noticed your morning card.

They don't know that.

Besides, I'm not going to take the money.

OK.

What can I help with?

All right, that drone you used

to take all these pretentious pictures... does it have night vision?

What's up, Amy?

You know, if I hadn't carried the ransom money to a kidnapper right now,

I would have told you it was a lovely evening and I wished you were by my side.

Uh, you're on the phone speaker.

Thanks for the warning.

Hi, Dad! Olly.

- Hi honey. - Hi.

Hey, forehead up, I hear another engine.

Yes, where does the sound come from?

I dont see anything.

From the right, I think.

It seems that...

Amy! That was a gunshot.

Amy?

It's... it's okay. I'm good.

That was a gunshot.

Another boat is approaching.

Look, she won't let her reach the other shore.

- Travis, we need to get her out of here. - Yes Yes.

Here... I need to take a closer look.

"They might hear the drone." - I do not care.

Hey, I'm not looking, just take the money.

Amy, come aboard your boat.

You have to sit down and keep your head in the box.

Don't worry, you'll be fine.

Where is my uncle ?!

- Amy! - I'm ok.

Amy, don't do anything.

Please.

It's ok, it's ok.

He took my ignition key, I can't track him.

In what direction did they take it?

West to Eagle Landing.

Okay, what's in that direction?

- A path with an access road. - How do I get there?

- Get an ATV. - Good.

Travis, what's going on?

I'm Dad, honey.

We think we know where they will land.

Travis will intercept them.

I'll be back swimming.

No, no, no, Amy.

Dad, we'll talk soon.

Amy! Amy!

There's an ATV there.

Do you see anyone else?

Stay close to me.

Not.

I hope Travis is close, because they're taking their shoes off.

What happens?

Travis just fired at the kidnapper's front wheel.

Hands in sight!

Hands in sight!

Take off your helmet.

He refuses to call.

Friends, I have to ask,

how did you not notify me when you received the redemption request?

She said "no cops."

Well, you didn't really honor that condition, did you?

She didn't know I was a cop.

If I had been in your shoes, I probably would have done the same.

Now that she knows what you're doing, let's go talk to her.

Yes.

Where's Al Winslow?

Where's my lawyer?

If you're referring to an ex-officio lawyer, he won't be available until tomorrow morning.

If you mean any of your father's,

you need to call your father.

Here, use mine.

Yours is evidence in a crime.

You do not want?

Good.

I'll call him instead.

I guess what you did will set him on fire, right?

- Wait. - Oh, too late.

No, please, no.

Hey, Sheriff. Wait a second.

Janey, you're obviously very smart.

I mean, your lake plan was great.

You isolated Amy, you manipulated her in every way,

you made her give you your cash

before even reaching the other shore.

If we didn't have a drone,

you would have been who knows where so far,

counting your money.

So you're smart enough to

know you have big legal issues.

Now you can improve your circumstances

if you cooperate with us.

Would you like to do that?

Good.

Where is Al Winslow?

I don't know where Professor Winslow is.

What the?

- Are you working with someone who knows? "I didn't kidnap him."

Janey, we heard her voice.

That was a recording he had once left in my voicemail.

- Come on, are you really waiting for us to believe you...? - Believe what you want.

Listen, I only came up with this plan after you showed up.

You and Graham Winslow.

I knew he could afford it,

and after I had the money, I would have told you the truth that I didn't know where Al was.

Janey, it's obvious your family has money.

No, my father has them.

I'd like to make that call now.

After that, I will write my confession in writing.

I thought we'd get him back.

I'm sorry, Dad.

I do not know what to say. Maybe he's lying, Graham.

You don't even know what to think at the moment.

That's right.

As Dashiell Hammett wrote, the problem is that

adding 2 plus 2 only gives you 4 sometimes.

And other times it gives you 22.

Yes, I remember.

Well, we'll see if Janey agrees to change her story

after a night in the cell.

What if not?

If what he said is true?

I mean, nobody's heard of Alister in five days.

I know, Mr. Winslow.

And we are all working on this case.

Speaking of which, I did some digging

about Carmela Rhee and Mark Lyons.

Something?

Well, Carmela looks like a model citizen.

And Mark Lyons?

Some problems.

His credit report looks bad, he has major debts.

And one of my helpers fined him last year

for disturbing public order.

So, Mark argued with one of your helpers

About where his car was parked?

Did you talk to Agent Patrick?

Not yet, but she's starting her shift tonight.

Yes, I remember him.

He was so grumpy that I was ready to arrest him,

but his wife asked me not to.

So I just wrote "disturbing the peace"

and I gave him a hefty fine.

His wife?

Yes, her Mercedes was the one blocking the access to the hydrant.

Was she driving a Mercedes?

So why?

Well... is this it?

Yes.

Thanks, Gail.

Normal, sheriff.

Thanks, Agent.

Carmela was cheating on my brother with his protégé.

If Al found out, is that the kind of man who filed

a complaint against them at the ethics committee?

I don't know, but I certainly would have.

So they could both have thought Al was trying to destroy them.

Or any of them could do the opposite, threatening to destroy him.

Well, we need to talk to them.

With both.

Harry, where's my daughter?

Please, can I see her?

I'm sorry, but the visiting hours are over.

Then accuse me of something and lock me in the cell.

Right next to her.

No charge is needed.

Come on.

You know, from a writer's perspective,

I don't know much about the motivation for Sullivan's actions.

Love or greed or something.

But looking into Sinead's eyes, she looked frightened.

Of course, she has every reason to be scared of her daughter.

Her child has a big problem.

Yes.

And then there's my ex-sister-in-law with her boyfriend.

That's why we'll talk to both of them tomorrow.

Yeah, well, tomorrow is almost here and I have to go to bed.

OK.

I'm really grateful that nothing bad happened to you tonight, my dear.

Yes, me too.

- I love you my darling. - I love you too, Dad.

It's true for you, too, my friend.

- Good night, Graham. - Good night.

- Good night. - Good night, honey.

We need to find my uncle.

We do everything we can.

Which seems to include swimming half a lake.

Did you expect me to just sit there?

Yes, in fact, that's exactly what I expect from you next time.

You know, there's something you don't know about me.

Namely, that I was the captain of the Garrison high school swimming team.

Of course you were, Amy.

Of course you were.

You answered anything.

I like this.

Not where my uncle is.

We'll find him.

Tell me that again.

We'll really find him.

- You know what? - What the?

I believe you.

All company transactions must...

all company transactions must be approved, parent.

So why keep secrets?

I'm still... and these are still my documents...

No, that's our business.

I don't intend to keep...

- Hi. - Hi.

Mr. Winslow.

We shouldn't have this discussion in front of guests.

Let's stop with her here.

- Good? We'll talk about that later. - Yes.

Hey.

Everything is okay?

When you have a business with someone, especially a family member, you

get the impression that the things they tell you relate to the business.

Olly.

Frank Sullivan is here, he insists on seeing you.

That may not be good.

Maybe I should go with you.

- You are my guest. - I already am.

So, see you again, Mr. Winslow.

Olly, can we talk in private?

If it's about what I think it is, I'd rather stay in public.

Good. Is Sinead here?

Come on. You and I know she's been here

before when she and I had disagreements.

Frank, I'm sure you can appreciate my

position on the guests and their privacy.

Really, Olly?

She's my wife and she hasn't answered my calls

since he left by car last night.

Aren't you worried about Janey?

That's none of your business, buddy.

Okay, I just thought - you know?

- It's funny you're worried about your wife, but not your daughter.

My daughter is with friends.

No, Mr. Sullivan.

Your daughter is in a prison cell.

What the?

- Is this a prank? - Frank. Leave him alone.

It's not a prank.

He's telling you the truth about Janey. She was arrested last night.

For what?

I suggest you take your hands off me

and ask that question to the police.

I won't forget that.

Sorry, I'm late. I wanted to get some Javanese coffee.

Thanks a lot, Harry.

"Bonnie's Stew" makes the best coffee in town.

I was sitting upstairs.

How could you move from Bonnie's?

I know, that's right. But I wanted to be close to school, to walk.

Hm. Smart decision.

Stay in... Belvedere ?!

Oh, in Grandview, in the building after the

Last Drip, but there's no Bonnie's there.

My father just sent me a message. And it looks like Frank Sullivan

he just had an ugly outing at Kent Lake House.

He was looking for Sinead.

In any case, he believes his daughter spent

the night with a friend, not in prison.

Dad says you should always expect a call from Frank.

Aha, I was talking about the wolf.

He sent me a message, he wants us to meet.

Can you handle the other situation?

Yes, we take care of it.

- Hi. - A good!

Do you mind if I keep you company?

- Not at all. - Thanks.

I wish you were here in better circumstances.

And I.

You and Olly have a great place here.

Listen, I just wanted to say that,

if you're mad at him for bringing him in last night to help us,

I take full responsibility.

Forgive me, but I don't know what you're talking about.

Oh, I saw you... earlier having a heated discussion,

and Olly seemed to be...

Oh, no.

It was something else, it was about what I hired your brother to do.

- The history of Lake House? - Yes.

Olly seems to think it's insignificant, self-admiring.

I knew he wouldn't like that,

and that is why I did not bother to submit it to his approval.

Sounds reasonable.

My husband always said that the advantage of a

family business is that you can share the profit...

... but also debts.

And dad.

- Hi, Dad. "Hello, my dear."

I just thought of something. Unless Janey planned to extort me on her own.

What if she was in a relationship with another member of her family?

Like Frank?

No, I was thinking of a person

who was desperate to talk to her last night.

That's a really good idea, Dad.

Thank you darling.

I'm going to the police now to see if Sinead is still there.

And I'll let you know how it was.

- Okay, bye. - Bye, Graham.

Bravo, Detective Winslow, bravo.

- After you. - Thanks.

I see you two don't give up.

Well, legally speaking, I'm not allowed to.

I do not understand.

Oh, Travis is a police detective.

Yes, that's right, and I'm working with Sheriff Ridgeway to find your ex-husband.

So, opposite to her affair with Mark Lyons, when do you think it's over?

- Well, a few months ago. - Correct.

Remember, that's when she started bringing pastries to my uncle.

Did you do this because you wanted to be with him again?

Ah, but Al didn't want to, did he?

Not. So he headed for divorce, even though it

meant he was going to pay you for half the house.

with some money he didn't have.

Now, do you think he forced things in that direction because he found

out about the adventure or because he found out who you were with?

- What do you think? - Not.

I told him about it.

- Why? - Why?

Because I was upset. And I didn't want him to think I was mad at him.

I was really mad at myself.

That I was a sucker. Mark didn't love me.

He claimed to be Al's protégé, but he was madly jealous of him.

When did you tell Al about Mark?

A week ago.

And that's why he filed the complaint with the ethics committee.

I received the notification on Friday.

Can you prove that?

So did Mark get it on Friday too?

Yes.

He was furious.

I've never seen him so upset.

He said that...

What the?

"I could kill him."

So, if they didn't get notified by the ethics committee by Friday...

Then none of them could leave the ticket.

Okay, what if the ticket and the kidnapping aren't related?

Good.

He's not in the office, do you still have the business card he gave you?

Oh yes.

The voicemail went straight in.

Of course.

Hi, Mark, this is Amy Winslow, do you want to call me after

listening to this message? It's important. Thanks, bye.

You have a little...

Come on.

I came here, remember?

Sinead!

Sinead.

I'm sorry, I don't have time to talk.

I need to get some money for Janey's bail.

Maybe I can help you with that.

Sinead!

You should stay away from me.

Come on, we need to talk.

Maybe you should come with me, somewhere to be safe.

You're funny.

Get in the car.

Mark certainly had a reason to want to silence my uncle.

Oh, I don't know what to say, Travis.

I can't help but think of the irony that the word

"family" and "familiar" have the same etymological root.

and that I had no idea

about so many things in my uncle's life.

Ha...

This is what my father always said:

"No one knows you like your family,"

"regardless of when he doesn't know you."

Did you say to your father, "Father"?

No, actually, that's what I was telling my grandfather.

Were you close?

You know, I really don't like to talk too much about my family.

And this...

... because it's sad.

I was 11 years old.

Mom and Dad were driving home from a festive dinner.

It was during a snowstorm, and a truck with a semi-trailer

lost control of the I-90. Eight people were killed.

Oh, Travis!

It's okay.

Now, my grandparents were the ones sitting with me then.

And when they got the call,

I was playing with small toy trucks, I was hitting them on each other.

And for years, I thought it was my fault.

So my grandparents, then on

the spot, right there on the spot,

they told me maybe it was their fault, until they died they told me that.

- When did they die? - Uh, Dad...

... died when I was a sophomore, had an aneurysm.

He was at his office at police station no. 18.

Is that why you became a cop?

Yes.

It's a cliché, isn't it?

Not.

Îh-îh.

No, it's nice and I know he would have been so proud of you.

And grandma...

... has been battling cancer for five years,

because he promised to be there when I got the detective badge.

And it was.

Like I said, it's sad.

Thanks for sharing this with me.

That you trusted me.

Hey, Amy.

I would entrust my life in your hands.

Hey, uh...

... you should probably answer. It could be something important.

Yes Yes.

Hello?

What the?

No no no no.

I'm not taking you inside. We'll be right there.

It's Lucy. Someone just broke into her apartment.

- He thinks the perpetrators are still there. - Hey, Lucy, call 911.

- We'll be right there. - Okay. Alright, goodbye.

Do you drive race cars?

Thanks.

I grew up in Ireland.

Mrs. Sullivan.

He's with me and I hope you'll keep Olly's

commitment to protecting the privacy of her guests,

because someone might be looking for her.

I understand.

And, please, you can use Mr. Kent's office without hesitation.

He's gone on business today.

- That's great. - Thank you.

Hey. Did you call 911?

Yes, right after you told me to do it.

Did anyone leave the building?

Not.

- I'm going inside. - Well, Travis.

When the agents get here,

let them know that I am inside and that I am armed.

Ok?

The police!

Get out with your hands up!

Tell them Travis and I are inside, okay?

Travis!

Amy.

So all that's missing are the materials for Kent Lake House and

the spare key to my apartment. Why would he take such a thing?

I don't know, but you definitely need a locksmith as soon as possible.

Hey, when was the last time you were here in the apartment?

Months.

After Al disappeared, I got a little scared

and I went to stay with my cousin.

This is the first time I've felt safe enough to come home.

So you say you told Mark about the Kent Lake House project

"When did he come to dinner with you that night?" - Yes.

And how did that come about?

Well, he saw the document boxes.

They were right there.

Why, don't you think Mark...?

What did you discuss about documents?

Not too many.

I mean, I was glad I was involved,

that Al was going to make up for my work

and how generous Mrs. Kent was... With the commission, that is.

And the commission was $ 25,000.

Yes, of course, but that was only for the first trimester.

So the total commission was $ 100,000?

Wow.

And Mark has serious debts.

This amount of money is a pretty plausible motive.

Yes.

Thanks, Lucy.

I called him a few times, he didn't get my call back, so how do you handle that?

As directly as possible.

I have a bell, detective.

- You're not armed, are you? - You're kidding?

You broke into Lucy's apartment, stole documents for Kent.

Now you have a choice. Either you let us in and

talk to us about it, or I'll call Sheriff Ridgeway.

He will show up with a warrant to arrest you.

- What do you choose? "I didn't break it."

Okay, you know what, it's okay. I'll call the sheriff.

Please, please. Come in.

It must be a misunderstanding, because Lucy asked me to help her.

Or, seriously?

Why else would she have given me her backup key?

I don't know, maybe you stole it from her, and now you're using this as an excuse?

I went to dinner with her and she begged me to help her.

I wasn't going to carry the boxes then, and that's why he gave me the key.

Yeah, well, that's not the story she told us.

Well, then I think it's her word against my word.

So you weren't trying to steal that job from Al

so you can pay off your huge debts, Mark?

Where's my uncle?

Do you think I know where Al is?

Well, you needed to get out of the

landscape to take over the job for Kent.

- You can search without any problem. - Happy.

Thank you for being so nice.

Especially after Janey made you go through this.

No, be serious.

Certainly what I'm going to tell you is no excuse,

but she thought that by stealing your money, I could leave Frank.

I firmly believe you should do this.

I would start by applying for a restraining order.

Know...

I was surprised you flew this far without hesitation.

I had the impression that you and your brother were not very close.

Not as it should be, but I would do anything for him.

Graham, can I trust you?

Of course.

Well...

Here's the sheriff.

Oh, great.

Why don't we go and ask for that restraining order?

What are all these things?

These are, in fact, the documents for Kent.

Preston Kent was extremely tight.

Well, it's just that you haven't organized these in the last two hours, obviously.

No, I'm good at it, but not so good.

So when did you get all this from Lucy?

A few days ago, actually. Most of them.

Now I had just returned from collecting something new and valuable.

Back from Lucy?

No, from the bank.

I found a key from a safe in an envelope collected by Al.

Have you looked through this before?

We help you.

Lucy had just started collecting articles from the press and had

filed a request for Free Information regarding an accident file.

Where's that file?

- To stay? - Hey.

Well, I see Al Winslow signed it.

Sure, she signed it for him. Department assistants always do that.

Hey, Travis?

Look at this.

Absolute.

Give me a call and we'll get the initial documents.

Thanks.

Do you feel safer?

Yes.

Although, to be honest, I'm not just worried about my safety.

Oh, Janey's, I see.

Not.

A few months ago,

I fell in love with someone very special.

I stifled my feelings

until he shared with me that he had the same feelings for me.

We both tried to figure out what to do, and we

were very careful because Frank is who he is.

But Frank must have found out somehow.

How do you know?

Before Frank used force,

he likes to give you little warnings,

to instill fear in your bones.

He did so in this case.

A message on an illustrated one.

You're in love with my brother.

Yes.

- How did you find out...? - You saw the picture.

But how? Everything he took with him...

Taken? Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Do you know where Alister is?

I realize I should have told you earlier,

but I didn't know who to trust.

Well, you told us now, that's all that matters.

I'll call as soon as I have Al safe in my hands, okay?

Thanks, Harry.

I'm terribly sorry.

"And I appreciate your understanding." "If I had been married to Frank Sullivan,"

I think I would have had trust issues too.

Excuse me.

It's Amy.

- Hi honey. - Hi, Dad.

We know where your uncle is.

What the? How?

He and Sinead Sullivan fell in love,

and when Frank found out, he sent her a warning.

What warning?

Illustrated.

Sinead and Alister panicked.

They feared for his life.

She sent him somewhere where Frank would never look. At the family cottage.

Dad, the picture was not sent by Frank Sullivan.

Of course I do. Harry just left to pick up Alister.

Did you tell Harry?

What's your address, Graham?

- Address? - Father!

- Address! - What's the address?

Hello?

Who is there?

Sheriff Ridgeway, Mr. Winslow.

I was looking for you... and those documents.

Correct.

I was expecting that.

So how much money are you going to give me for them?

Money?

Mr. Winslow, not only do I have a

badge, but I also have a weapon.

And when they read my report, they will write that

you were unstable, you attacked me and I feared for my life.

Yeah, well, that's a bad idea, Harry.

Yes, we've been there for almost 10 minutes.

What do you think you're doing, townsman?

Well, I'm here to arrest you for complicity in murder.

I don't know what you all think is going on here.

What do I think, Harry ?!

I think you're covering up a murder.

What the?

You came here for the documents for Kent.

You broke into Lucy's apartment.

You fired a gun at me.

I do not know what are you talking about.

Amy, can you please tell the sheriff?

Yes No problem.

So her old address is on Lucy's driver's license,

which makes sense because that's why he brought us those coffees

from "Bonnie's Stew."

- Stay in... Belvedere, right ?! - Uh, in Grandview,

in the building after "Last Drip," but there's no Bonnie's there.

Because you needed Lucy's new address.

So when I told you that Frank Sullivan was looking for you,

that gave you the perfect excuse to disappear from there.

Aha, I was talking about the wolf.

He sent me a message, he wants us to meet.

Can you handle the other situation?

Wait, you haven't even met Frank, have you?

No, you went to find Lucy's new home

and you broke into it.

You must have been very surprised to see that the documents for Kent were not there?

- Do you know what's funny, Amy? - What?

That the documents for Kent are not here either.

In fact, Al really doesn't know why you want those documents.

He was hiding for a completely different reason, wasn't he, Al?

Uh, yeah. I misinterpreted your warning illustration.

It's just that you didn't send him that warning, did you, Harry?

That idiot!

Harry, for your own good, I hope you have

plenty of evidence of the "idiot's" complicity.

Otherwise, my friend, only you will pay.

Olly, they asked us to talk to them about Al Winslow.

Did Harry find him?

Oh, yes, yes... I mean no, we found Al.

Al and the hospital.

It's good?

You know, he was shot.

- Oh. - Oh, no, that's awful.

It's just a superficial leg wound;

Unfortunately, he shot himself when he put his loaded weapon on his belt.

You see, he was ready to run.

He thought Frank Sullivan had learned that

he had fallen in love with his wife, Sinead.

The reason he believed this was that someone

had left a message on his office door.

This.

It was this picture, forget it.

"Stop it, or I'll destroy you too."

It's a landscape with your sister's lake.

Now, what my uncle didn't see, in all that panic...

he didn't notice the phrase "you too."

Which implies that there was someone else who had already been destroyed.

That's right, because if he had thought about it,

he would probably have realized that Frank Sullivan did not write that message.

No, someone else wanted to stop him from doing... something else.

- What the? "Which hired Mrs. Kent to do."

To reveal the history of Kent Lake House.

But who would have wanted to stop him?

Harry Ridgeway.

I do not understand.

How could Harry have even known about this project?

Well, because my uncle's assistant, Lucy Harding, filed

a request for Free Information about the accident file.

in which your daughter died.

That's right, and he filled out the application form at the sheriff's

office, where - as we all found out - that file had been drawn up.

by Harry Ridgeway when he was young.

Who happened to be elected sheriff the very next year

in a campaign largely funded by... you.

Yes, we were impressed with him.

Yes, of course you were. He was a great investigator.

In fact, he found out that the death of your sister, Meg,

it wasn't an accident.

What the?

Harry took these pictures... and... kept them as insurance for him.

I'm so sorry, Mrs. Kent.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Kent.

The cause of death was not drowning, but a few blows to the head,

including one in front that left a clear imprint

of a ring with a seal from... Pi Beta Gamma.

Mother.

Listen... yes, Meg and I had an argument.

That's why she went by boat, but I didn't kill her, let's be serious.

Olly, Harry made sure of something else.

"I can make this go away to be classified as an accident."

"How much will this cost me?"

"Well, I was thinking of running for sheriff."

You have all this... So you caught Ridgeway, too?

Oh, yes, yes, she went crazy about an hour ago.

He's so angry that someone - that is, you - left a note on the door.

Your sister.

Why?

Why?

Because of my father.

He was going to take me away from the Lake House business, my legacy.

Yes, he told me.

He said I was his biggest disappointment.

That he left everything to Meg, which was ridiculous.

Now, did he say "Meg" or did he say "your sister"?

Did you know that your father had a secret safe?

And the key, Mrs. Kent, has been hidden in your bridge all these years.

And here's what was in the box.

Jennifer, do you want to read this?

"I, Preston Kent, are in full mental faculties,"

"I hereby leave my entire package at Kent Lake House"

"My daughter, Jennifer..."

"... Jennifer Espinoza, my only child worthy of him."

Mr. Kent has been paying alimony to your mother since you were born.

He kept all the checkers.

No one knows you like your family.

"Regardless of when he doesn't know you." "Regardless of when he doesn't know you."

So they said I was lucky he wasn't infected.

It turns out that surgeons know more than a history teacher about treating wounds.

Yes.

Listen, brother.

How would you feel if I stayed here for a while?

Just... until you recover.

I don't want to get between you and Sinead,

I can stay in my room at Lake House.

Okay, Graham, stop it, stop it. You will stay with me.

As long as you want.

- Okay. - Okay!

And you two.

Wow, you... you literally saved my life.

Correct use of the word "literally".

Aha, so this is family passion.

Yes, I think you can say that.

To be honest, I don't know how to thank you.

Well, how about coming to visit us after school?

Consider it resolved.

- Hey. - Hey.

You brought him back.

As you promised.

You said you believed me when I told you we would do this.

Yeah, well, about that, the irony is that you're almost unbelievable.

Yes, we'll talk.

I just wanted to say, you know, you put everything aside at home

to jump on a plane to fly across the country

and come and do all that you have done here.

I mean, you risked your life. It was... it was shot at you.

And you did all this for my family.

For me too.

So, yes...

I think you're almost unbelievable.

Well, it's pretty easy to believe when you know my reason.

What is it, this time, ha?

I love you.

What the?

I love you too.

11 MONTHS LATER

Hey, colleague.

What a night for a murder!

Yes...

Hey, what is Amy doing here?

She's the one who called to let us know.

The deceased is Sam Jameson.

You know who he is, right?

Yes I know.

He's Amy's fiancé.
