Hello?

Hello?

Garrison police, I need you to come forward.

Revenge and reward.

Those are the two most common motives in detective fiction,

and they're illustrated brilliantly in this play,

Shadow of Death, by Erris Vale.

And we're very lucky, because it opens tomorrow night

at the Garrison Community Playhouse,

and I don't know if you guys have seen this around campus,

but here's the poster.

I know you know who that is.

The movie star, Bella Brightman.

She has a vacation home here,

and she loves our community theatre so much

that she has agreed to play the lead,

so we're very excited about that.

And if that wasn't enough,

you get to go and see Lacy be brilliant in the play.

And of course, Bud, our stage manager.

Well, we would be nowhere without our dramaturge,

Professor Winslow, telling us exactly what the play means.

Oh, and to clarify, a dramaturge is a literary advisor,

it's someone who researches the script for clues,

and kind of explains it to everybody else.

So basically she does exactly what she does in this class.

And if you go tomorrow night,

I will give you all extra credit.

And I know that is shameless bribery,

but it is for the betterment of your education,

so, doesn't count.

All right guys, I hope to see you all there tomorrow night.

Have a good day.

Ugh...

Come on, Dad, it's not going to kill you.

Oh, smells like it might.

You remember when I had that throat thing a few weeks ago?

Yeah.

Holly made that for me, and it went away like that.

Honey, I... I have to finish my manuscript by Monday, can...

can you please just go to Palen's Drug Store

and pick up some good old-fashioned cold medicine

that's made in a lab and approved by the FDA?

I will, just as soon as you drink that.

Drink it.

Hmm?

Ah, it's pretty good, actually.

It's not bad, is it?

Hmm.

Yeah. That's what I thought, too.

So, I'm excited about opening night.

Yeah.

And for you to be more free in the evenings.

I know, I miss our Friday night dinners.

Yeah.

But, uh, your stand-in's been fun.

My stand-in?

Yeah.

Travis has been joining me the last couple of weeks.

Detective Burke?

You know a lot of other Travises?

Hold on, wait a minute, wait a minute.

So you're telling me that Travis has been coming here

to eat dinner?

Yeah.

What's the matter I can't have dinner with a buddy?

Oh, okay, is that what you guys are now?

Are you buddies? You are buddies, okay.

He said that you two are supposed to get together.

We are just going to have dinner

because I want him and talk to my Mystery 101 class.

About what?

I thought it would be nice for the students to hear about

real crime versus crime fiction.

Oh.

Yeah, but I've been so busy with this play

we haven't had a chance to, so...

You know how that goes.

Yeah.

So what have you guys been talking about?

No, no, no, no, no!

It's... it's just, Travis is, uh, sort of obsessed,

you might say, with a particular subject.

What... what's he obsessed with?

Atticus Keller.

Your fictional detective?

He's a big fan.

No, he's not a big fan, Dad.

Because he doesn't read crime fiction.

He didn't until he audited your class,

which changed him forever.

He said that, in those words?

Well, I may have used poetic license,

but that was the general drift.

Chief, how is she?

Travis.

Sent her away to the hospital.Concussion.

And she's lost some blood.

Sorry.

Well, this was her running route.

Yeah, I know, she was training for that 10k.

She changed her route to Main Street

when the antique store got burgled.

She must've walked right in on the burglary.

Sounds about right.

Well, I'm grateful to Miss Hart for finding her.

Detective Travis Burke, I'm Claire's partner.

Josie Hart.

I'm the manager.

Nice to meet you.

Chief, I want you to get to the hospital.

I got this.

All right, thanks Travis.

Hey, do you mind if I ask you some questions?

No, of course not.

Where did you find Claire?

Back over here.

She was on the floor, right here.

Now, I notice that you've got security cameras.

Can I see the footage?

Remember that horrible storm a few weeks back?

Yeah?

We had a power surge that fried our security systems.

They're coming tomorrow to replace them.

I'm so sorry.

Can you tell me what was taken?

Yeah, um.

All the cash in our registers, it was over $500

and unfortunately quite a lot of medications.

I want a list of all the medication that was stolen,

and I also want the names and numbers

of everybody who works here.

Okay.

Travis!

Hey.

Yeah, officer, you can let her in.

Thank you.

Hi.

What's going on?

Third burglary in three weeks.

First the antique store, then the bookstore,

now this but this is an assault.

They got Claire.

Claire? Your partner?

As in, Bud's girlfriend?

Yeah, this washer running route,

and I don't know, I think maybe she saw something this morning,

she came in to investigate, and somebody got the jump on her.

Is she?

She's not conscious yet.

She's on her way to the hospital.

Oh, Travis, I'm so sorry.

Does Bud know?

Uh-nuh.

This is Josie.

Josie's the manager of the pharmacy.

She found Claire this morning when she opened up the store.

Amy Winslow.

Josie Hart.

Nice to meet you.

Josie Hart, where have I heard that na...

Are you Elliot Quirk's girlfriend?

Yeah.

How did you?

Oh, I... I'm a dramaturge for the play he's working on,

"Shadow of Death."

Oh, nice.

Anyway, I gotta get back to work, Amy.

Yeah. Good luck.

Good luck on the play.

Break a leg.

What?

It's...

Break a leg, it's a theatre term.

It just means "good luck."

Why do they say that?

I don't know.

I'll call you about that dinner meeting.

Yes.

Okay.

I'd like that.

Nice to meet you.

Anyway.

Oh yeah, Amy.

Will you tell Bud about Claire?

Yeah, absolutely.

Hey, I got your text.

Hey. Have a seat.

I'm not getting fired, am I?

No, no, you're not getting fired.

Um...

Claire's okay, but she's in the hospital.

She walked in on a burglary and got jumped by the thief,

but she's stable.

Um, okay, uh, um, I'm going to go to the hospital.

Yeah. I'll cover the afternoon rehearsal for you.

Thank you, Amy.

Hey, you.

Hey, Dad!

What are you doing here?

I thought you'd be home in bed.

Ah, I'm feeling great.

And I'm just picking up my ticket for opening night.

So I'm guessing you do not need that cold medication?

Nope, you were right.

Again.

Come on.

So, Bella.

How is it that a film star winds up headlining a play

at the community theatre?

Well, uh, my husband Duncan and I

have had a country home therefor a couple of years,

and we love being in Garrison when I'm not off on a shoot.

And I love theatre.

So, I joined the board to support.

But Vincent Cuddahy, the artistic director,

has been trying to get me to support on the stage.

So, he gave me the play, which I adored,

and it worked with my schedule, so.

Beautiful.

Can you tell us a little bit about Shadow of Death?

It's an old-fashioned drawing room murder mystery,

with a little romance thrown in for good measure.

A romance with your character?

Yes, um, she falls for the local vicar,

played by that handsome man over there, Elliot Quirk.

Quirk as in Quirk Construction, the new condos?

Mmhmm.

When he donated lumber for the set,

he got bit by the acting bug.

And, by Bella Brightman.

It's understandable.

How's her husband feel about that?

Well, let's just say he's been coming to a lot of rehearsals.

Uh-huh.

Hey Chief, how's your daughter?

She's awake, and smiling.

Bud's there.

Okay. That's good.

And she's still fuzzy on what happened.

The doctor said give her some time,

and it'll all come back.

All right.

You got any leads?

No.

There's so many fingerprints in a place like that.

I don't know, maybe we get a hit on one?

Yeah. Okay, good.

Hey.

Hey.

You made it.

Yeah, visiting hours ended.

Look, are... are you gonna be able to help Travis

figure out who did this to Claire?

Well, if he asks me to,

but I'm not going to hold my breath.

You know how he is.

Hey Karl.

What... what happened?

What does it look like?

Chair broke. Gotta fix it.

You need a hand with that, Karl?

From you, the star's husband? No.

Amy? Uh, question for you onstage?

Yeah. Sure.

I'll talk to you later.

Okay.

I just need you to back me up on this. Okay?

Elliot.

Elliot has a thought about the vicar confessing his love.

So, I was thinking I should kiss her.

No.

No, absolutely not.

But, I'm in love with her, Amy.

And we're finally alone together.

Okay, but you're a vicar.

You're a man of propriety, you know.

You respect the rules of courtship.

I mean, and bottom line,

this script doesn't indicate a kiss.

I'm... I'm sorry, Elliot.

Oh, darling, you tried.

All right everyone.

This is our last run-through before we have an audience,

so let's get ready.

Poor Elliot.

Mm. I met his girlfriend today.

Poor girlfriend.

I know, it's pretty obvious he's smitten with Bella, right?

Yeah.

I think her husband knows.

I mean, this is the third night Duncan's been here this week.

Once the show is over, I'm sure he'll move on.

Bella certainly will.

There she is.

Hi, partner.

Hey, you.

Thank you.

How you feeling?

Like a rookie.

I should've called for backup

as soon as I saw the glass was broken.

You will next time.

Hey. I'm sorry it took me so long to get here.

You're working a case, I understand.

Any headway?

No, not yet.

In fact, I was hoping

that you were starting to remember some things.

Yeah, actually.

Yeah?

There was this, this sound,

like this steady rhythm coming from the back of the store.

I went toward it, and...

it was one of those little toy monkeys

that plays the cymbals.

That's weird.

Yeah.

Huh.

Anything else?

No, sorry.

It's all right.

Uh, enjoy the flowers and I'll see you tomorrow.

Sounds good.

All right. Heal up, get better.

Vicar.

Whatever can this mean?

I suppose it means I love you, Lady Purcell.

Vicar!

Lacy, that's your cue.

I know. I'm sorry, Vincent.

I'm pulling the trigger, but nothing's happening.

Bud?

I loaded it,

I don't know what's going on.

Vincent, this thing's in really bad shape.

I got a newer one at home, it'll fire on cue.

All right, thanks Karl.

Okay, everyone.

Let's just keep going.

As I've told you many times, inspector,

never underestimate a lady.

Bravo!

Bravo!

Can I help you?

I'm sorry, sir. We're not open yet.

Sebastian?

Heya, Bells.

I brought you your favourites.

Heya, Sebastian.

Vincent, can you please...

Get off me, man.

Do you know who this guy is?

He's Bella's ex.

How'd you know that?

Yeah, how did you know that?

Well, I mean it's pretty obvious.

He called her "Bells" and he brought her her favourites

from a bakery that only exists in Manhattan,

and I'm sure they're fresh, right?

Mmhmm.

So you just arrived, and by the look on your face,

I could tell there was some unfinished business

between you two,

and it's obvious that Bella is not happy.

Well done, Detective Whoever You Are.

She is good.

Amy Winslow.

Ah.

Sebastian Dusquenes.

Bella's first husband.

Let me guess, you came hereto win her back.

No, I'm just a fan of her work.

Okay.

All right, well, you can be a fan of her work tomorrow

when we open.

Love what I saw tonight, Bells. Can't wait for more.

Okay.

Goodnight, Sebastian.

Okay.

Now that our unwanted guest is gone,

let's gather for notes.

Yes, yes, notes.

♪

There's no need to get upset, Karl.

I'm not a fool.

I know why he's here.

He has no idea, but he will, if you don't handle it.

So handle it.

♪

Ahhhhh!!!!!

Shh! Are you okay?

What's wrong?

Sorry, Professor Winslow.

I... I was just eavesdropping, I guess, on Karl and Bella,

and their conversation sounded... strange.

Strange how?

He was upset that someone was there, but she said

"he has no idea, but he will if you don't handle this."

And then she paused, like really dramatically, and said

"so handle it."

And then I kind of gasped, and Karl heard me,

so I scooted away in here.

"Handle it." Hmm.

Do you think Karl was talking about her ex-husband showing up?

I think he was talking about her current husband.

I don't think he's happy Duncan's here.

So what does Karl not want Duncan to find out about?

I don't know.

Okay, but what's going on?

It does remind me of A Study in Scarlet.

That great line that Holmes has?

"There's nothing like firsthand evidence."

Which we have none of, right now.

It's just a bunch of guess work.

No, you're right.

Sorry for screaming.

That's okay.

Hey, do you need a ride home?

That would be great.

Okay, come on.

What a rehearsal, huh?

Yeah, I'll say.

Oh, hello again.

This is one of my students, Lacy Daniels.

Josie Hart.

Hi.

She's Elliot's girlfriend.

Oh.

Yeah.

Are you okay?

Just, just an emotional day.

Oh, yeah, of course, of course.

She manages the drug store that got broken into.

You really, I've come such a far way.

It's adorable.

Josie.

Hi, Josie.

Bella.

Babe, are we going?

Ah, my chariot has arrived.

Ta-ta, all.

Bye.

What are you doing here?

I came to pick you up.

But I have my car, so...

You know what, Lacy, we should get going.

You guys, drive safely.

Good night.

Um, professor, do you think Holmes would say

that's firsthand evidence that there's trouble

between Elliot and Josie?

Hmm.

Yeah, Lacy. I believe he would.

Morning!

Hey! This is a nice surprise.

Well, I had to do something to make up for all those dinners I missed so...

Ta-da! I brought you Garrison bagels.

Oooh!

Oh, am I interrupting you?

No, no, I can take a quick break...

For these!

Ah!

And you too.

-Oh, boy!-So good aren't they?

They're hot, oh, boy!

So, uh, how was your final dress rehearsal?

Oh, Dad.

What? What?

Ugh, oh.

Let's just say there was a lot of drama around the drama.

Such as?

Well, you remember I told you

I thought that Elliot Quirk had a crush on Bella Brightman?

Yeah.

Well, there was a reason for that.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Because, I found this in the seat.

-Oh.-Oh.

Interesting, huh?

So, uh, "you know who" is Bella's husband?

Maybe.

But also, her ex-husband shows up last night,

and then Duncan and him almost get into it.

Did Elliot try too?

Well, he didn't look too happy about it,

but then Elliot's girlfriend shows up,

and then they get into it.

Oh, oh, uh, thank you, and thank you.

Oh man, was the play as exciting as all of this?

Well, exactly, I mean, that's my issue.

I'm afraid all of these distractions

are going to hurt the show.

Well.

Maybe you should consider doing something about it.

Hi, excuse me, sir.

I'm looking for Elliot Quirk?

I'm his father, George.

Oh, nice to meet you.

I'm Amy Winslow, I work with him at the community theatre.

That's terrific, that's the main reason I'm in town.

Really?

Yeah.

It's not to help build condos?

No, Elliot's got that covered.

Uh, he's right inside.

Okay, all right, thank you.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Hi, your dad said I could come in.

Amy.

What are you doing here?

Well, you know, I was just dropping by the cast members

just to see if you guys had any last minute questions

about the script before tonight.

Oh, thanks.

Yeah, you know, I think I'm good.

Okay.

Is... everything else okay?

Yeah.

I guess you noticed some tension between me and Josie?

Yeah, well... It's kind of hard not to.

She just... She gets emotional.

She thinks I'm, like, in love with Bella or something.

But you're not.

No.

No!

No.

I mean, you know, Bella is married.

Right.

And I have a girlfriend, so.

Yeah, absolutely.

Okay. Well, um, if you think of anything,

you know my number.

I do.

Right.

Thanks Amy.

Okay, all right, bye.

See ya.

They say another 24 hours and I should be able to go home.

Oh, that's great Claire.

Hey, hey.

The gang is all here.

Hey.

Hi.

No toy monkeys.

Oh.

Is that a code for something?

I remembered last night, there was this toy monkey with cymbals

playing on the floor of the drug store.

That's what distracted me before the burglar knocked me out.

Right, and they don't sell any toy monkeys, either.

So the burglar had it on him?

Yeah.

Why?

That's a good question.

Claire, you run by there every morning, right?

Ever since the second burglary.

What if someone was expecting you to come by,

and they were prepared with a distraction?

Okay, but if they knew that she ran by Main Street

every morning at 5:00,

why even bother with the distraction?

Why not just rob the place at 2:00 or 3:00 or whenever?

Yeah, that's a good question, too.

All very good questions that we're going to have to allow

the professional law enforcement people to answer,

because we've got to get to class, then theatre.

Break your legs.

-What?-What?

Isn't that how you...?

No. That's...

What is it?

That's not it.

So it's a singular?

You'll figure it out.

Come on.

-Bye, guys.-Break a leg.

The thing that keeps us turning the pages,

and the thing that Jane Austen is an absolute master of,

is secrets.

With a few tweaks, I mean, this could be a spy novel,

it could be a... a work of crime fiction,

but in this case, it's a mystery of who loves whom.

Whatever can this mean?

Hey, Bella.

Oh, I'm sorry, am I interrupting you?

Oh, no, you're fine.

Would you happen to know where the phrase

"break a leg" comes from?

Oh. Um...

I have no idea.

Um, I suppose it's based on the premise

that if you wish for something bad to happen, it won't.

Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Are you all right?

Yeah, yeah.

Karl!

Where did that come from?

I don't know.

Oh! Karl.

What are you doing up here?

Checking on the light.

What are you doing up here?

Uh, I... I... I actually thought I saw someone up here

when the light fell.

Careless lighting designer

must've forgot to safety cable it.

I loaded the whole chamber with blanks in case there is a misfire.

Thanks, Karl.

Fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes to places please.

You don't seem nervous.

Oh, nothing much makes me nervous.

Oh, don't I know it.

Wow.

Right?

Hey, sweetheart, do you mind doing me a favour and,

uh, finding a vase for these?

Um, sure?

Hmm.

Bells.

What are you doing, huh?

Slumming it with these amateurs.

What do you want, Sebastian?

I told you last night, seeing my favourite actress do

what she was born to do.

Oh.

Although I would prefer to be seeing it

on the great white way.

How's this?

Lovely. Thank you, Lacy.

Hey!

Hey, Lacy? I need the gun.

Excuse me, sir?

You're not supposed to be back here.

Young man, life is more fun when you do the things

you're not supposed to do.

Break a leg, Bells.

Professor Winslow.

Hi!

Hi.

You nervous?

Yeah, yeah, I'm nervous, but I'm excited.

All right. Good.

Well, I heard this is tradition.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Hey, do you want to join me?

Um, yeah, I would love to.

Sure. Come on.

Sure, you got a seat?

Absolutely.

Good.

I'm glad you're here.

I wouldn't miss opening night for the world.

Well, you know, just that...

I thought maybe that case might've tied you up.

Hm.

Unfortunately, forensics came back.

They... they found nothing useful.

Really?

Nothing.

Hmm.

Maybe you should ask for my help next time.

Tell you what, Amy.

I'll ask for your help the minute

you become a law enforcement professional.

Besides that, your father, he doesn't...

Doesn't... doesn't what?

Oh, I was just... Uh...

Huh?

-Nothing.-Nothing.

-Nope.-Nothing.

Oh.

Oh. Yeah.

Can I... can I...

Uh, would you mind scooting over?

Sure.

Do you want to sit next to Amy?

That's OK, that's OK.I like the aisle.

All right. Yeah.

Pardon me.

Ms. Salterton.

This is a surprise.

Vicar, I need your help.

I believe... someone is trying to murder me.

Whatever can this mean, Vicar?

I suppose it means... I love you, Lady Purcell.

Oh.

Vicar...

Oh!

That wasn't to happen.

That was a real bullet.

Had to be.

Excuse me, Graham.

Hey, can you turn up the lights?

Turn on the house lights.

Lacy, I want you to put the gun down on the ground, put it down.

Ladies and gentlemen, stay calm, remain in your seats.

My name is Detective Travis Burke,

I'm with the Garrison Police Department,

and this is an active crime scene.

Ah, crime scene.

That's okay.

Am I a suspect?

Yeah, what about me?

The audience are being held in the lobby.

We'll get everybody fingerprinted

and the scene processed.

I want you to run the questioning.

Great, okay, we're going to have to get the bullet

out of that mirror down to forensics

to get a fingerprint off of it.

Yeah, you take care of that.

And Bud, I want to talk to everybody who had access

to that gun before the show.

It was Lacy, Bella, myself, Karl,

he's a set designer, it was his gun,

uh, and then Bella's ex-husband.

He was backstage before the show.

Okay, can you... can you point him out to the chief?

Yeah.

All right, thanks.

Hey, um, I think you need to talk to Duncan Spencer.

He's Bella's current husband, and, uh, Elliot Quirk.

Okay.

Hey, folks. I'm going to need to take everybody's fingerprints,

and I might want to talk to a few of you,

so you're going to need to get comfy.

Uh, is there a place that I could do an interview?

Uh, I think...

We could use the theatre.

Uh, and who are you?

Vincent Cuddahy, artistic director.

Nice to meet you, Vincent.

Uh, will you go to the lobby and make an announcement

to your audience, tell them that the show is over for the night?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Okay, I'm going to take off.

You're okay, honey?

Oh yeah, Dad. I'm okay.

I'll talk to you later.

-Okay.-Yeah.

Hey.

Good luck, buddy.

All right, bye.

Um, hey.

Uh, yeah, everything is going to be all right.

So uh...

Is there something going on

between you and that Vincent guy?

Vincent?

Yeah.

No, we're just friends. Why?

I, uh... Just, uh, it seems like pretty friendly friends.

Well he's just, you know, he's touchy-feely.

He's a theatre guy.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Hey, listen.

Before you talk to anyone,

uh, there's a few things I want to talk to you about.

I'm all ears.

Well, I found this where the actors take notes.

Mmhmm.

I think it's from Elliot to Bella,

and I think Josie knows about it,

and I think Bella's husband knows about it.

Huh.

Will... will you hold onto this for me?

Absolutely.

Anything else?

Yes, there is something else.

So, earlier tonight, this stage light came crashing down

just a few feet away from Bella.

I mean, it almost hit her.

So, I looked up, and I...

I thought I saw someone on the catwalk,

so I went up there, but there was no one.

I mean, I did see Karl up there,

but he was checking it out too, so.

Show me.

Yeah.

Come on.

So it was just right along down here.

Hey, um, get me a glove.

Hmm-mmm.

Look at this.

It looks like somebody cut the safety cable.

So, it wasn't an accident.

No, this plan failed, somebody loaded the gun.

Gentlemen.

Bag this safety wire, sweep the whole area for prints.

Will you go grab Lacy for me?

Yeah.

Thanks.

I'm sure it's nothing,

but he just wants to ask you a few questions.

Hi, Lacy.

Hi, Detective.

So, I just gotta ask you a couple questions, all right?

It won't take that long.

Do you mind just taking a seat there?

Uh, so I... I guess I'll just leave you guys to it.

Wait, you're not staying?

She can stay, right, Detective?

Sh... Yeah, sure.

Yeah.

You want to stay?

Yeah.

All right.

Just, why don't you sit here?

Yeah.

Amy, remember, I... I... I gotta ask the questions.

Yeah.

So.

What do you want to know?

So, the gun was new, right?

That's right.

The old one wasn't working consistently,

so Karl offered to bring in the new one.

Who loaded the gun?

Karl.

I gave it to Lacy.

And the gun was with you the whole time?

No, Bud picked it up at the 15-minute call.

Okay.

So, Lacy handed it to you.

It was sitting on the dressing room table so I picked it up,

I took it to the booth where it stayed until she grabbed it

for the show.

Do you remember anybody else, uh,

who might've been in the dressing room with you?

Bella and her ex-husband stopped by.

He brought me flowers.

Two dozen long stem.

We chatted for a minute,

then the stage manager kicked me out.

I didn't see any gun.

Is there any reason why he would want to hurt you?

Sebastian?

No.

No, we're pals.

How about anybody else?

No, I... I... I can't think of anyone

who would want to hurt me.

Can you think of anybody who would want to hurt Bella?

No.

No way.

Not really, no.

Absolutely not.

Are you kidding?

Everybody loves Bella.

How about this?

Is this yours?

No.

That's cute.

No.

Is that my wife's?

Why would you ask that?

Oh, she does goofy stuff all the time

to motivate the other actors.

Do I like to motivate my fellow players?

Yes!

Did I create that?

No.

So, you're telling me that there is nothing going on

between Bella and Elliot?

Ask Bella.

Oh, he's sweet.

But that's all.

But Josie thinks otherwise.

Like I told Amy, Josie is just emotional.

What about the light that almost hit you?

That was an accident.

No.

Somebody cut the safety cable.

So, you think that someone is...

Is trying to hurt you, yes.

All right, um, well, I will trust

that you're going to take care of it.

And, um, can we just have

the opening night party now, please?

I mean, I'm hosting, it's catered, you know.

Hold on a second, you want to have a party

the same night that somebody tried to murder you?

Well, they failed.

All the more reason to celebrate.

Detective, you're welcome to come.

Oh, I'll be coming all right.

With a score of other officers,

one who is going to stay by your side all night.

So, I understand that you have a party to attend.

Thank you all for your time.

I need you all to stay reachable and local.

What do you think?

I think someone in this room tried to commit a murder,

and they're not going to quit until they do.

Wow, this is... this is some house.

Yeah.

And she has one in LA too?

Apparently, and an apartment in New York, yeah.

But she says this is her favourite place to be.

Huh?

Guys, I appreciate you coming out here tonight.

I want you to wand everyone before they walk in.

Bud is going to stay with you guys at the door.

He knows everyone who's involved in the play,

and he's going to be sure that no one's coming in

who wasn't invited.

Ah, Miss Brightman.

Officer, your assignment is to stick with Miss Brightman

no matter where she goes.

Where she goes, you go.

Detective, do you really think someone would harm me

in my own home?

It sounds a lot easier than doing it on the stage,

and they tried that already.

Mmhmm.

Officer, can I get you a drink?

No, you cannot.

Well, I could use one.

Shall we?

Mmhmm.

All right, stay with her.

You're a hit.

Trying to prevent a hit.

Officer, the only damage that this will do is to my liver.

Cheers.

Hey, uh, I think that's everyone.

Is it all right if I take off?

I... I really want to go check in on Claire.

Thanks for your help, Bud.

Yeah.

Go get some rest.

Okay. See you guys.

So, you making any headway on the Main Street burglaries?

I got friends who're crosschecking all the fingerprints

from the first three stores that were hit.

Hoping we find a match before there's a fourth.

Hmm.

Ooh.

-Thanks.-Thank you.

You know what, I just thought of something.

I think that we might be having dinner together right now.

Well, I'm eating, and you're eating.

Mmhmm.

And you know, we are in the same room together, so...

My conclusion would be...

What are you doing in my house?

You have no respect for me and my family!

Huh? Huh?

Calm down, huh?

What is going on here?

He attacked my son.

Your son's trying to steal my wife.

Duncan!

You've had too much to drink.

Vincent, can you just...

Yeah, sure. Of course.

Come on, pal, let's go. Come on.

Gentlemen.

I think it's probably best if you go home tonight, yeah?

Bella.

I think the detective is right, Elliot.

I am so sorry.

I... I apologize for my husband.

Mr. Quirk, thank you for coming.

And I sincerely hope that you can see

the entire show very soon.

Thank you, Ms. Brightman.

I look forward to it.

So, um.

Are you sticking to your story that there's nothing going on

between you and Elliot?

I am.

Can I get back to my guests?

Yeah, of course.

What do you think that was about?

Yeah, I don't know if I believe her.

He's very familiar with people.

It's just that theatre thing.

What are those two talking about?

Their significant others?

Hunh?

-What?-Talk to you later.

Hey, Josie.

Uh, were you looking for Elliot?

He just left a little while ago.

Yeah. I just heard.

What?

Uh, Josie?

What is it? You okay?

Yeah, I'm just.

I'm okay.

Why are the police here?

Oh, um, at the play tonight,

someone loaded the gun with a real bullet

and it almost hit the hostess.

Bella?

Josie...

Elliot said that you didn't want to come to the play tonight.

So why come here?

I... I'm sorry.

No, no, no. It's... it's okay.

What is it?

I, um... Elliot, he's been so different,

and last night, I mean, I think you saw us?

I told him he had to tell me the truth.

About Bella?

And he said nothing was going on?

Yeah, but...

Okay.

I know his email password and tonight I signed in,

and I found a secret folder full of love letters to him from her.

I came here to tell him that it's over between us.

I'm keeping an officer parked out front.

Thank you.

Listen, I need to apologize for being,

uh, less than gracious earlier.

It's just, been quite a day.

Understood.

Uh, tomorrow we'll get the forensics back

from the crime scene

and hopefully they'll tell us more about

who loaded that gun with an actual bullet.

Yeah. Okay.

Get some sleep, okay?

Yeah.

All right, thanks.

Good night.

Good night.

Drive safe.

Good night.

Uh, so, um, thank you for including me in the interviews.

Ah, well, you know, it's hard to say no to Lacy.

And you, you were a little helpful.

Just a little.

Yeah.

I get a little?

Yeah. Let's not go too far, huh?

Yeah.

Yeah, well, good night.

Good night. All right.

Thank you, Amy.

Okay. Bye.

Travis left an officer posted there.

Yeah, I didn't get in until after 1:00 AM.

Hmm. Some night.

Ugh, yeah.

So, what are your thoughts on this,

oh wise expert in criminality?

Well, this may sound funny,

but it reminds me of the Maltese Falcon.

Yeah, but there's no hidden treasure.

Not that part.

Hammett's masterpiece is about

how everyone is lying about something,

and this sounds like that.

Could be.

Oh.

Sorry.

Hey, Vincent. What's up?

What?

No, no, no, I'll... I'll be right there.

Bella Brightman's dead.

♪

We're going to put the time of death here at 9:35 am.

I want you to order an autopsy for me.

News travels fast.

A heart attack?

Thank you.

Doctor Gentry says they're more common in women under 50

than we think.

Come on, Travis.

I mean, someone just tried to kill her last night.

With a gun, Amy.

This was cardiac arrest.

Okay, okay, are... are you at least going to order...

Order an autopsy?

I did that already, but thank you.

Okay, good, good.

Well, I would just like to talk to Duncan.

Okay, Amy. Duncan's talking to Doctor Gentry.

I haven't even had a chance

to talk to Duncan yet, so just...

I just want to offer my condolences, that's it.

You. All right.

Thank you.

Yeah. It's slowing down.

Thanks, Doc.

I gave him a sedative.

I don't want two heart attacks today.

I need to talk to him.

He's coherent, just... relaxed.

Duncan.

Hey.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I just... I mean.

How did this happen?

I mean... What exactly did happen?

Okay, Amy.

Hey, Duncan.

Do you mind, um, just walking me through this morning,

everything you remember?

Uh, as you know, I... I had a few drinks last night,

I slept in.

Um, and then Bella got me up to row.

We have these machines.

Show me.

And where were you, Duncan?

I uh, I wanted to take a cold shower first,

and she said she was going to start rowing.

And then when I came downstairs, she was on the floor.

I thought she was playing a prank.

She can't be dead.

I can't, this is insane.

Easy, Duncan.

I need to give him something stronger.

All right, so he'll be okay?

He'll sleep.

Hopefully until tomorrow.

Good. Oh.

It's the chief, excuse me.

Hello?

So sad.

Mm.

I promise you, I never saw any signs of heart disease.

How long was she your patient?

Since she bought this house a couple years ago.

I was the one that got heron the theatre board.

Oh.

Karl's on the theatre board too, isn't he?

Indeed he is.

You know, the two of them

had a bit of a tense conversation backstage

the other night.

Did you know of any trouble between them?

I don't want to gossip.

Gossip about what?

Bella had paid Karl to do an addition to the house.

Months ago.

And he still hadn't done it?

How much did she pay him?

Thanks, chief. Bye. Uh...

I'd better get going. Take care.

Yeah, bye.

Thank you, Doctor Gentry.

What?

I think that you might need to pay Karl Muhlenbeck a visit.

I just found out that he owes Bella a lot of money.

Huh.

Okay.

Well, there was another burglary last night, so I gotta go.

Really?

But that's, that's good, I'll follow up with Karl later.

Yeah.

Bye, Amy.

Bye.

When the owner got here, she saw the door was smashed.

The thief took everything in the register,

a paltry $40.

Did the owner find anything inside?

Like what?

A toy monkey.

No toy monkey?

A toy monkey.

Hang on a second.

I, uh, I got... Sorry, Chief. I gotta go.

Where are you?

Are you spying on me?

No, no, I was actually, I was just looking for you.

Well, where's your car?

Oh, um.

Well, I... I parked it on the road.

Yeah.

Do you, I can tell you...

Why are you lying to me?

I'm not lying to you, I just...

You're just what?

Hey! Karl!

Get your hands off of her.

Hey.

You okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm fine.

Go get him, go!

♪

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be

used against you in a court of law.

Why did you run, Karl?

I didn't kill her.

How did you know she was dead?

Vincent called me.

I saw the luxury vehicles in your barn.

The ones that aren't registered to you.

So you're chopping stolen cars,

and you still can't pay back Bella?

How much gambling debt do you owe?

Hmm.

You know, here's the thing.

You thought that Bella brought Duncan to the theater

the other night to put pressure on you, but she didn't.

She hadn't told Duncan how much you owed.

She actually just gave you a chance to handle it.

What if you decided to handle it in a more permanent way, Karl?

What if you let them use your gun

so that you could slip a live round in?

Look.

You're right about the cars, and I owe my bookie a lot.

Yeah.

How much do you owe Bella?

$100,000.

Sounds like 100,000 reasons to commit a murder to me.

You know what, I am glad that we got this guy,

but I am not happy with the way it went down.

Hi.

Processing. Thank you.

You should've let me pursue it.

Yeah, you're right.

Wait, come on, you're not going to argue with me?

Well, I could point out that if I hadn't done what I did,

then he'd be halfway into Canada by now.

Amy, you just did point it out.

I did?

Oh. Well, anyway, I think what we should be focusing on

is how to induce a heart attack in a healthy person.

There's this great mystery series by Edith Pargeter.

I mean, well, she wrote under a pseudonym, Ellis Peters.

All right, you gotta, you gotta just push through the...

the backstory.

It's interesting!

I have no doubt, but...

Okay, anyway, my point is, is the main character

is this medieval monk,

Brother Cadfael, right?

He's like this amateur sleuth.

And in the book, Monk's Hood,

there's this healthy man

who just drops dead from a heart attack,

and Brother Cadfael figures out

that it's this oil named Monkshood that causes the death.

What do you think?

I think we should go check that autopsy that I ordered.

Russ.

Did we get the autopsy results of Bella Brightman yet?

Not yet, Detective, but I was just going to call you.

We pulled that bullet out of the mirror.

The trajectory was wrong.

The bullet arced downward at a 45 degree angle.

Which means that...

It was fired from the catwalk.

The same time the onstage gun was fired.

Any prints off the bullet?

A partial that matched prints we found on the catwalk, too.

One of the people we printed last night.

Who?

Sebastian Dusquenes.

I need to see this guy.

I want to see him too.

I think we should maybe ride together?

Amy.

Or, I could just break the speed limit

trying to rush to get to the hotel in front of you.

You can ask all the questions.

Hi.

Checking in, Mr. and Mrs.?

What?

Oh, no.

No, no, no. We're not a, this is...

My name is Detective Travis Burke,

I'm with the Garrison PD,

and I need to talk to one of your guests,

Sebastian Dusquenes.

Well, well, well. Isn't this a surprise?

The policeman and the professor.

We need to sit down and have a conversation.

Oh.

Well, that sounds ominous. Do I need to call my lawyer?

You need to sit down.

Watch my bags?

Of course.

Here's the thing, Sebastian, we found the bullet

that was fired through the mirror on stage,

and we know that it was fired from the catwalk

at the same time that Lacy fired her shot,

and we know that it's your bullet,

because we found your fingerprints on it.

We also found your fingerprints on the catwalk

where the stage light fell.

Okay, okay. I dropped the light.

But it was... it was six feet away from her.

And yeah, I fired the gun, but it was...

it was nowhere near her.

I wasn't trying to kill Bella.

I was... I was just trying to frighten her.

-Why?-Why?

Well you know, you... you called it.

I was trying to win her back.

By dropping a lamp on her head?

I, I thought that if Bella was afraid that someone in Garrison

was trying to... to harm her,

I mean, I could convince her to...

to retreat back to New York.

But she told me at the party she wasn't going anywhere.

She had fallen in love.

She said this time it was the real thing.

I mean, look, guys, if you just let me talk to Bella,

I can explain everything.

♪

What?

Sebastian... Bella's dead.

So he confessed to dropping the light and shooting the gun,

but he claims not to know that Bella was dead.

You buy it?

I wish I had more evidence.

Well, here's the autopsy report.

Bella had ingested aconite.

It's a homeopathic compound used to treat the flu,

but in larger doses can induce a heart attack.

Brother What's His Face.

Cadfael.

What are you talking about?

Uh, Amy here.

She had a suspicion that Bella's heart attack

was caused by a drug.

You were right.

Uh, how long does it take for this drug to start working?

Under an hour.

Well then, I need to figure out what Bella had for breakfast.

You know where you can get aconite?

A drug store.

Yeah.

You know I got a whole list of medications

that were stolen from our local drug store?

All right, let's see what we got in here.

We got Benzone, Mirtazapine...

A bunch more.

We got Lipitor.

Ah. Aconite.

Here's what I don't understand, though.

I mean, if the killer was trying to conceal the theft of aconite,

why make you pay attention to that burglary

by ambushing Claire?

It just doesn't make any sense.

No. It doesn't.

It's a really good question, Amy.

But it's one that I'm going to have to answer by myself.

Oh.

Are you dismissing me?

Haven't you noticed I've been helpful?

I notice.

I notice you, Amy.

But this is no longer attempted murder,

this is the real thing.

And I...

You know what, no, no, no.It's... it's fine.

I hear you loud and clear. I got it.

I'm gonna go talk to Duncan.

Yeah. Sure.

Good luck.

Thanks, Amy.

Duncan, this is Detective Travis Burke.

I am going to need you to call me when you get this.

Thank you.

Amy.

I wanted to talk to Detective Burke.

Oh, hi Vincent.

Um, he just, he stepped out for a minute.

I was hoping I could... see her.

Bella.

Yeah. Um.

I'm sorry, Vincent, but she's already gone to the coroner.

Right.

Never mind.

So you think the drugstore burglary was done

to get the aconite?

Yeah, I mean, it's a pretty big coincidence.

And you think this latest burglar was the same guy?

Probably to confuse me.

Right.

The toy monkey.

Why draw attention to himself

if what he was stealing was used to commit murder?

It's funny, Amy asked the same question.

What?

Oh, hey Josie.

Oh, hey Professor.

Hi, I just wanted to stop by 'cause I had a question for you.

After the shooting at the theatre,

the police fingerprinted everyone.

Those are called elimination prints.

And they compare with the actual prints

that they might've gotten off of any physical evidence.

Okay.

I found something interesting.

So, it turns out that Duncan Spencer

has been arrested before.

Yeah, there it is right there.

Four years ago, DUI.

And you know what's really interesting is...

I bailed him out.

Yeah. Why?

Because.

He's my brother.

He's your brother?

Biological.

Our parents died when we were young,

we didn't have any other relatives

so we went into foster care.

I was younger and got adopted by a really nice family.

Duncan wasn't so lucky.

He wound up with not a nice family.

You two don't seem very close.

We were.

See, my adoptive parents died a few years ago,

so I decided to try to find him.

That's how I got to Garrison.

Helped him pull his life together.

He got a job as a ski instructor.

Really straightened out, but...

But what?

He met Bella.

She came here to ski, fell for him,

bought that house.

She's very possessive.

Can't stand me, and now he hates me too.

So she stole two men from you.

Well, maybe she'll run away with Elliot,

and I'll get my brother back.

Josie, Bella's dead.

What?

I thought the police were guarding her.

It was a heart attack.

How? She was so healthy.

It was a compound called aconite.

Aconite.

Yeah.

We carry that.

I know.

Which is why I have to ask you,

did your brother know that the security system was out?

No. We barely speak.

Okay, did anyone else know?

Anyone that was close to Bella?

Well, yeah.

But I mean, there's no way that...

Who?

Elliot.

Sorry again about last night,

I was out cold from whatever the doc gave me.

I'm not going to stay long,

I just need to know

what Bella had for breakfast yesterday morning.

Oh, um...

A protein shake.

Was it from a can?

No, it's a mix.

Show me.

Uh yeah, it's this one here.

So this one's, D, is it for Duncan?

Yeah.

B for Bella?

Yeah.

So, this one's got protein in it.

What's in Bella's jar?

Oh, some kind of um, fat burning powder, you know?

Hmph.

So then why was she drinking out of your jar?

Why you asking that?

Answer the question, Duncan.

Um, she made my shake as usual in the morning,

my stomach wasn't feeling great, so I guess she drank it.

What's going on, Detective?

What I think it means is that somebody

might be trying to kill you.

Sit, please.

Thanks.

Can I get you something to drink?

Uh, no, I'm fine. Thanks.

I, um... I heard about Bella.

Yeah.

I mean, I... I can't believe it.

Sorry, one second.

Hi, Elliot.

Detective.

We have a warrant to search your premises.

Get started, guys.

No.

What are you doing here?

Detective, you... you can't just...

That little piece of paper says that I can.

I'm calling my Dad.

Go ahead and do that.

You didn't answer my question.

I think that Elliot broke into the drugstore.

And how did you come up with that, Amy?

Because I saw on your computer...

Hold on, you...

Josie bailed out Duncan on a previous arrest.

Wait, what?

Yes.

So, I went to go talk to Josie, and I found out

that she and Duncan are biological brother and sister.

Their parents died and they're adopted.

Well, how does that bring you to Elliot?

Because when I talked to Josie,

she told me that she told Elliot that the alarm system was down.

But here's the thing I don't understand, why would Elliot...

It was Duncan.

What?

He was trying to kill Duncan.

But Amy, you knew that he was a potential murderer,

and you came hereby yourself.

All right, you can go now.

I would rather not.

Unless I'm under arrest.

Touch something, and you just might be.

Sorry.

♪

Detective?

What's going on here?

We're searching your son's home, sir.

My lawyers are going to have something to say about this.

We made a copy of the warrant for them.

Jerry?

And what have you found? Anything?

Elliot, is that your shed back there?

It's, uh, part of the rental, but I... I don't use it.

You got the key?

Elliot Quirk, you're under arrest for theft,

assaulting an officer, and murder.

Murder?

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used

You mad at me?

Well deduced, professor.

Look, Travis, I was going to call you.

What part of "I need to handle this" wasn't clear?

You are handling this!

Mm-mm. Don't do that.

What if I didn't show up

and you're in that house alone with a killer?

Well, I have handled myself alone with a killer before,

as you well know.

If by handled,

you mean you almost got yourself killed, sure.

You know what?

Fine, fine, you're right.

Is that going to make you happy?

No. No.

I am worried.

I don't care about being right.

Amy, I made your Dada promise

that I would never put you in harm's way.

You didn't, Travis.

Can you please stop trying to score points for one second?

Thank you.

Claire just got out of the hospital, okay?

Yeah.

And I don't want to see anyone else get hurt.

I'm sorry. Thank you.

You're welcome.

But since he's already arrested,

would you mind if I just tag along to see what's in the bags?

Yeah, I mind.

Come on, Travis!

I'm the one who saw the shed!

Fine.

You see, and then you go.

What do you got, Ross?

I found a hidden folder in Elliot's email account.

Ah, one like Josie mentioned.

Lots of correspondence with the victim,

and I pinged the IP address,

and the emails all came from Bella Brightman's home server.

She had a separate email account set up just to write to him.

Hmm. What did she say?

That she was in love with him.

A lot.

Maybe he's who she was talking about when she told Sebastian

that she'd finally found love.

But check out what she sent two weeks ago.

"I wish Duncan would disappear."

And here's the bonus.

Elliot programmed all of the sent mail that went to

Bella's secret email address

to be saved to another hidden folder.

I guess he was paranoid his girlfriend might find out.

Well, he should've been.

He sent this three nights ago.

"Bella, I'm sick of waiting.

After opening night, you're all mine."

Print these out for me.

Thanks, good work.

♪

I didn't, I didn't write these.

Elliot...

Are you going to pretend that you weren't in love

I mean she's a, she's a movie star, okay.

But in love?

Yeah.

Elliot...

You were trying to get rid of Duncan,

but your plan backfired,

and instead, you accidentally killed the woman that you love.

No.

Yeah.

No.

No, no, no, don't.

I... I didn't do anything.

Please!

All right, he's... he's dug in.

I know, it's just...

Just what?

No?

No.

No, because when you love someone,

it shows, you know. You can't help it.

What?

Emma.

Who's Emma?

It's a Jane Austen novel.

It's a mystery?

Yeah.

Well, not in the traditional sense,

but it's what I was telling my class.

It's a mystery about who loves whom.

But in this case,

someone loved Bella, but it wasn't Elliot.

Hmm, Amy Winslow, I think we'd better figure out who does.

In our last rehearsal you said to me,

"once the show's over, I'm sure Elliot will move on.

"Bella certainly will."

And then Bella told Sebastian

that she had finally found her true love,

but that wasn't Elliot, and it wasn't Duncan.

That was you.

It was like an old-fashioned romance.

We never even kissed, and we wrote letters.

I've just been going back over them,

processing the grief, I guess.

Vincent, do you mind if I take these?

Please.

You guys were...

They were very much in love.

So, no emails. No texts.

No phone calls.

No digital trail.

That was her idea.

She was going to divorce Duncan,

and we were finally going to be together.

We were just waiting for the play to close.

I'm going to take care of these, I just need them for evidence.

Thanks.

Look, I gotta consider him a suspect.

Maybe he got tired of waiting,

tried to divorce her from Duncan for good, but it backfired.

Maybe. But all these letters.

I mean, she didn't want a digital trail with him,

but she's okay with having this extensive one with Elliot?

I mean, it just doesn't fit.

It doesn't.

But it doesn't tell us anything

about who tried to kill Bella, either.

Well, so find something else that doesn't fit.

You know, we just need to go through

every single piece of evidence you have,

and then find the anomaly.

The thing that doesn't fit.

Yeah.

I like the way you think, kid.

You do?

Do you have your transcript from the interview with Elliot?

Mmhmm.

Where is it?

Oh, it's here.

Thanks.

"Our family, our company.

"We're built on that.

So why say 20 years when the company was founded

Huh.

I think that this is the anomaly.

I mean, what happened with Quirk construction 20 years ago

We believe that he was the one trying to kill you, Duncan.

I'm going to need to get a full statement.

Yeah, of course.

Uh...

Well, it could take a while.

Do you have a comfy room that we could sit in?

Yes, sorry. Come on in.

Um, we can use the library.

Uh, can I just use your restroom?

Sure, it's just right there.

Oh, okay great.

Thanks.

Just follow me, Detective.

Thanks.

♪

Duncan?

Duncan?

I'm upstairs!

♪

Shh!

We found all of the bags in a shed on Elliot's property.

Hi, Josie.

Hi Professor.

I came to check on Duncan

and the detective is just telling me...

I just can't believe that Elliot.

Does his father know?

He must be devastated.

Yeah, yeah. He is.

Speaking of parents, how did your parents die again?

Why are you asking about our parents?

We know that their names were Nicholas and Imogen Threllfall.

How do you?

And that their kids names were Jocelyn and Duncan.

Your parents were killed due to George Quirk's negligence.

I mean, I can't imagine how you must've felt

when his kid moved here.

So you figured out that Bella was going to leave you for Vincent-

Mmmhmm.

Take all her money with her?

Yeah, but not before she did a play about revenge and reward,

so you created your own play.

This elaborate puzzle filled with

all these little breadcrumbs for us to follow.

First you had to start dating Elliot, though.

You told Duncan to send love emails from Bella's computer

to you at Elliot's computer.

And then just this week, Duncan,

you dropped the valentine for someone to see.

Duncan, you pulled three burglaries,

two of which you wanted the police to notice,

which was good, because Claire did notice.

She started running Main Street, and then you lured her in,

and there was the party.

Yeah.

Duncan picks a fight with Elliot in the kitchen,

right by the shake mix.

Meanwhile, you pull off a fourth burglary,

which was brilliant.

And then, you plant all the evidence for us

to find in Elliot's shed.

Mmhmm, and then you come hereto report to Duncan,

but while you were at it, you told us about the affair,

and it was... it was also brilliant

because we were your shoulders to cry on.

And then the next morning you made that shake for Bella,

didn't you Duncan?

You just had to get your reward.

Then, when the timing was just right,

your sister tells Amy

that Elliot knew about the security being out,

so we would blame him for trying to kill you

but accidentally killing Bella.

And you would get your revenge on George Quirk.

Oh, but then there was Sebastian, ugh.

That guy, right?

He came in with all his improvisation.

It distracted us.

It did. But you stuck to your script.

That is... Definitely a script.

Like the crime fiction you teach, right Professor?

But um, here's the thing. You have no proof.

Of any of it.

Yeah, I do.

You do?

Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, I do.

I forgot.

I found the monkey.Upstairs.

Yeah, the one that you used to lure Claire Tate

to the back of the store to get the drop on her.

Yeah.

Do you know how I know that this monkey is that monkey?

No?

Well, I mean, if... if I could open this bag,

you would see that in the fur of the monkey,

it's... it's almost microscopic.

It's got these tiny little bitty red flecks.

And I would be willing to bet all the amount of money

that you guys think you're going to inherit,

that when Detective Burke here runs a DNA test

on those red flecks,

they're going to match Claire Tate's blood.

♪

Duncan.

You know you're right about this coming from the play.

It was my idea.

A one-man show.

Josie didn't know anything about this.

Duncan, no.

You talked to her.

I hate her.

Look at her.

Little goody two shoes, trying to straighten me out.

Why would I risk my life to plan a crime with her?

Stop it, it's not true.

It was my idea, not his.

Josie.

No.

You're all I have.

And I'm not letting you take this all on.

We did it together.

We did it for our parents and for each other.

So...

Yeah.

It was lucky that you found that monkey.

Mmm.

It was lucky that Claire's blood was on it.

Oh, there was no blood on it.

Wait.

You...

Did you?

Yeah.

I... I bluffed him into confessing, yes.

Amy, what if it didn't work?

Well, it did.

"The people who lie the most

"are nearly always the clumsiest at it,

"and they're easier to fool with lies

"than most people, too.

"You'd think they'd be on the look-out for lies,

"but they seem to be the very ones that will believe

"almost anything at all."

That was written in 1934, believe it or not.

Still stands true today.

Okay, all right guys. Thank you.

Have a good weekend.

Hey, Lacy. I wanted to talk to you about something.

Um, I have been talking to Vincent about doing

my own adaptation of The Thin Man,

and I think that you would make the perfect Nora Charles.

Uh, yes, that's wonderful.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Okay.

Thanks, Professor Winslow.

You're welcome. Go have fun this weekend.

You too.

You're back!

Yeah, on Monday.

Thanks for helping Travis.

Oh.

Hey, we're going to go get some food.

Do you want to come with us?

Uh... Actually, I got a better idea.

Okay, guys.

I haven't made Korean tacos in a while, so be gentle.

These look delicious.

I didn't even know there was such a thing as Korean tacos.

Oh, yes, yes, I... I first had them in Seoul

when I was doing research for the...

Seven Stars.

Yeah, Seven Stars there.

Very good.

See, see what a devoted student he is, Amy?

Well, come on, I mean,

you only had one Atticus Keller book set in Korea.

Actually, I don't mean to be a Graham Winslow geek,

but the first chapter of Amber Moon starts with Atticus

still in Korea when he gets the phone call.

From, um, the widow, uh, what was her name?

Annette...

Beja.

You are a Graham Winslow geek!

Come on, dig in.

Are you working out?

Maybe I should if we're going to have any more chases

through the woods?

Yeah.

What are you guys talking about?

Nothing.

Oh.

Hmm.

Well, I'm just glad that we're finally all able

to break bread together.

This does not look like bread, sir.

No, but it's delicious. You're going to love it.

Almost as much as you love my dad's books.

Dig in.

Mmm!
