♪ ♪

Frank Parris.

He was murdered!

Killed in a hotel.

♪ ♪

Stefan Leonida,

he wasn't the killer.

I want you to read the book.

If you can see what she saw,

maybe you can help us find her.

I investigated the
murder of Frank Parris,

and the evidence against
Stefan Leonida was overwhelming.

We've found the body
of Cecily Treherne

in woodland not far from here.

No!

She'd been strangled,

just like the actress
in that book of yours.

Some time between 6:28
and 6:38 in the evening,

she called her physician,
Dr. Leonard Collins.

He drove straight round,
but by the time he arrived,

she was dead.

You murdered her.

Yes, I strangled
her in the bedroom.

I do not believe John
Spencer took his own life.

If he didn't kill Melissa
James, then who did?

Dr. Collins, of course.

Who in the blazes
killed John Spencer?

The person who
killed John Spencer

was me.

So, what did you think?

I told you in my
email, I loved it.

But what did you think?

I assume you have notes.

Of course I have notes.

Tell me, Susan,

do you ever read a
book for pleasure?

I read lots of books

for pleasure, Alan,
including yours.

Especially yours.

But that's not why I'm here.

Well, if you're going
to start laying into me,

I'd better have a drink.

We'll have a bottle

of the cabernet Saint-Julien.

Of course, sir.

I hope that's all right.

Yeah, it's fine... I
won't be joining you.

I have to work this afternoon.

I wasn't planning to share it.

You know, Alan, we're
both on the same side.

I just want the book to
be as good as it can be.

And I don't?

You're a brilliant writer.

You're the best mystery
writer in the business.

Yes, that's what
the "Mail" said.

Yes, and we put it on the cover.

Look, I, I know that
you find edits boring,

but it really is worth
going the extra mile.

So, tell me what's wrong.

Did you guess the ending?

No, I never do.

Well, that's something.

I have four headline notes,

and I'm sure you can
deal with them very easily,

so, can I go ahead? Be my guest.

Well, first of all...

I found some of the characters

a little unsympathetic.

In what way?

Well, let's start
with Eric Chandler,

who works for Melissa James.

The way you've written him,

he's very unattractive.

He can't look after himself,

he's a Peeping Tom.

He still reads comics.

I'm not sure I see the problem.

And since you mention
it, the comic is a clue.

Really?

I don't think you
ever explain that.

Some clues aren't
meant to be explained.

I just worry
there's a possibility

some modern readers
might find him distasteful.

Well, modern readers
can read something else.

Right, okay, well,

we don't need to
argue about that now.

Let's move on.

Uh... Yeah.

I'm not sure it's a good
idea to mix real people

with the characters
in your book.

Such as?

Bert Lahr, for example,

the actor in "The Wizard of Oz."

You make a point
of describing...

...a signed poster of the film
that's hanging in her house,

and I just worry that it
confuses two worlds...

reality and fiction.

That's another clue, Susan.

Well, you don't
explain that one, either.

That's right.

Sir? Yes, yes, just pour it.

And soon as you can.

I'm beginning to need it.

I only have two more notes,

and they both relate
to the last scene.

The solution?

Yeah.

Um, I just wonder if you need

to assemble so
many of the characters

when Dr. Collins is
revealed to be the killer.

I mean, Oscar Berlin doesn't
really have anything to do.

But I thought you
loved that sort of thing.

Classic Agatha Christie?

Well, in that case,

why leave out the hotel owners?

Lance and Maureen Gardner?

Surely, it should
be all or nothing.

I'll think about it.

But here's my, my biggest note.

The way you've constructed it,

Dr. Collins is unmasked,

which is great,

and then Atticus Pünd
says that he was the person

who killed John
Spencer, which I loved.

So, what's the problem?

You make us wait a whole chapter

before you explain
what he means,

and I just think it'll
be so much better

if it all happened
at the same time.

I disagree.

I like the suspense.

So...

What do we do now?

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

Um, could you just
give us some room?

Hm. Thanking you.

Come on, Mr. Pünd.

What were you talking
about back there?

You didn't kill John
Spencer... we all know that.

So, what did you mean?

I should not have taken
this case, Detective Inspector.

I was asked to, by a man who
called himself Edgar Schultz

and claimed to be an
agent from New York.

Claimed to be?

Oh, yes, Miss Cain.

But whatever else he was,
he was not an American.

I told you that his timing
was of interest to me.

Yes, I did wonder about that.

Hm, well, it's very simple.

He claimed to have called
you from the Savoy Hotel

in London the morning before.

This would've been the same day

that he learned of
the death of his client.

He was very upset.

Perhaps,

but the flight from
Idlewild Airport

would have taken
at least ten hours.

He could not possibly

have traveled in that time.

This may have been
all my fault, Mr. Pünd.

Maybe I misheard him.

But I did not.

And there was something
about the way he spoke.

She was injured
during the shooting

of a movie with
Hitchcock five years ago,

and then moved to
somewhere called Tawleigh

in "Devonshyer"...
is that right?

It would seem to
me that a New Yorker

would be much more
likely to say "someplace"

rather than "somewhere,"

but then the accent,

it already sounded forced to me.

It was the accent of someone
pretending to be an American.

So, he was a fake?

But why?

Because somebody very
much wanted me to investigate

the death of Melissa James.

And that somebody

was you.

I'm sorry, Mr. Pünd.

I, I have no idea
what you're getting at.

I thought it would be
very good for your profile.

Well, yes, that's what
you said, but... Yes.

The true reason is that
you were infatuated with her.

You're a great fan
of her films, no?

Yes, I liked them. Oh,
it was more than that.

More than once, you
revealed an intimate knowledge

of her work.

A lot of the furniture came
from "The Mary Celeste."

The ship that disappeared.

And the title of Melissa
James's second film.

Oh, look at this.

Oh, that's a prop
from one of her films.

A Turkish dagger.

It's a wicked-looking thing.

You knew what it was

because you'd seen the film,

and you could not
contain your excitement

at visiting the
home of its star.

Oh, what a gorgeous house!

But it was a nice house.

You persuaded me to
take the case, Miss Cain.

You hired the actor who
played Edgar Schultz

because you wanted

to enter the world
of Melissa James.

Break a leg.

Thank you, darling.

♪ ♪

You were her greatest
fan, which you made clear

when you wrote to her.

"How can you do
it, dear Miss James?

"The screen is
diminished without you.

A light has gone
out of our lives."

Oh, yes, I saw the letter to her

written in your hand...

presumably one of many you
had written to Melissa James...

before you made that
clumsy attempt to conceal it.

Because of course you knew

that I would recognize
your handwriting.

Wait a minute.

Are you saying that
she killed John Spencer?

That is exactly
what I am saying.

And as I'm the one
who brought her here,

it is I who am to blame.

What have you got
to say, Miss Cain?

I'm not saying anything!

But why, why would she do it?

Oh, you don't remember?

She told us herself,
when we had dinner.

But to think someone could kill

a woman as talented
as Melissa James

and get away with it.

I hope they hang.

I'd say that's
unlikely, Miss Cain.

You loved her.

You loved her films.

She was everything to
you, and you could not bear

that the man who
killed her was still alive

when she was dead.

Yes!

But it was his fault.

John Spencer.

He said he'd killed her.

But that did not
give you the right

to act both as his judge
and his executioner.

Wait a minute.

What exactly happened
at Clarence Keep?

Who was at the window?

Oh, that was Eric Chandler.

The police had come to the
house, and he was concerned

that they were discussing
his own misdemeanors,

so he decided to eavesdrop
on what was taking place

in the living room.

That's why I'm taking
him to the station.

But you heard him.

We had him bang to
rights, and he confessed!

You can't argue with that.

Mr. Pünd!

You will recall that the
back door to the kitchen

was only a short distance away.

And that was how Eric was able

to disappear so quickly.

For once, his mother
tried to protect him.

Has anyone come in here?

No, sir.

We've been here all the time.

But I saw.

There was mud on his shoes.

With everyone distracted,

that gave Miss Cain
the perfect moment

to seize her opportunity.

I'm so sorry, Mr. Pünd.

Sorry?

That you committed
a terrible crime

or that when you
killed John Spencer,

you had chosen the wrong person?

Well...

Both, really.

I will be giving you
my notice, Mr. Pünd.

With immediate effect.

I accept your resignation.

Uh, this came for you.

Thanks, Derek. Welcome.

What is it?

It's from Craig Andrews.

Don't open it.

My phone!

No note.

I'm sorry I mistrusted you.

If you remember,

I once accused
you of being a killer.

Well, it's true.

I guess we're even.

Susan, listen to me.

I'm coming back to Crete.
I'm staying here with you.

You don't want to run a hotel.

I should have seen that.

We have the money.

We can fix the hotel.

I just need a bit
more time here.

The book was my
idea... I started all this.

And now I'm gonna finish it.

Let's go. Yep.

Did you enjoy your breakfast?
Very much, thank you.

Um, we'd like to
arrange a late checkout.

Are you serious?

Yes... oh, sorry,

you haven't met
my partner, Andreas.

You see, the thing is,

we have quite a
long drive today.

We're going to
Norfolk to see Stefan.

You've got permission
to see him in jail?

Yes, someone I know arranged it.

What do you think he
can possibly tell you?

Well, uh, one thing I'd
be quite interested to know

is what it was like

being forced to
have sex with you.

How dare you...
who told you that?

You fired him because
he refused to go on with it.

He rejected you,
he'd had enough.

I fired him
because he's a thief.

No, that was Natasha, the
maid who found the body.

Everyone knows that.

Anyway, let's see
what Stefan has to say.

Well, what difference
does it make?

He confessed... he's
a convicted murderer.

Well, actually, I don't
believe he did kill Frank Parris,

and I'm going to prove it.

Oh, I take it that's a yes
on the late checkout, huh?

How far is the prison?

It's about 60 miles?

Mm.

Are you sure you want to come?

I'm afraid you're going
to have to wait outside

when we get there.

I've only got entry for one.

That's all right.

I'll make sure
nobody steals the car.

I think all the thieves

are locked up inside.

Why should I talk to you?

I heard on the news
Cecily Treherne is dead.

Don't you want to
know who killed her?

I know who killed her.

And who was that?

The same person
who killed Frank Parris.

Cecily wrote to me
just a few weeks ago.

She said she'd read a
book, a detective story.

She said she knew
I was innocent.

Do you have the letter?

I tore it up.

I published that book, Stefan.

"Atticus Pünd Takes the Case."

It was written by a man...

...called Alan Conway.

You never met him?

He asked to meet me.

I refused.

If you didn't kill Frank Parris,

why did you confess?

Why do you think?

I don't know.

Because I'm an immigrant?

Even though I
came to this country

when I was six years old?

Because I'm a nobody?

Because I have
a criminal record?

There was a lot of
evidence against you.

Yes.

But I was asleep all night.

There was a party,

maybe I drank too much wine.

How much?

One glass, two.

But it knocked me out.

The next thing I knew,

the policeman was in my room.

Detective Superintendent Locke?

He was the bastard
who told me to confess.

I had no chance,
but if I pleaded guilty,

they would go easier on me.

That was what he said.

Easier?

Life with a minimum of 20 years.

I should have never
listened to him.

The one brightness in my life,

the one dawn that gives me
hope, has been taken from me.

♪ ♪

Tell me about Lisa.

She's evil... she's a devil.

You were having a
relationship with her.

Not a relationship... sex.

She threatened you?

Why else do you
think someone like me

would sleep with
someone like her?

And when I finally refused,

she fired me.

When was that?

A month before the wedding.

Well...

Here's something I
don't understand, then.

Two weeks later, you
were still seeing her.

Who told you that?

You were seen in the woods.

Liam Corby.

Mm, yeah.

That was the last
time I saw her.

Thought if I gave
her what she wanted,

she would give me my job back.

But she didn't.

I told you, she's evil.

He was lying.

When?

At the very end,

when I asked him why
he went back with Lisa.

He hesitated.

He's hiding something.

It's like he's
protecting somebody.

And then all that stuff

about "the one
brightness in my life"

and "the dawn that has
been taken from me."

Yeah, a bit late now.

It's your choice.

The first time I came here,
you did something very strange.

You answered my questions
in a way that made you

seem more
suspicious, more likely

to have murdered Frank Parris.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

You told me how much
you loved this house,

and how awful it would have been

if you'd been forced to sell it.

In other words, what you
were really saying was,

you had every
reason to kill him.

That was your assumption.

Just as you were happy to admit

that you'd argued
with Cecily Treherne.

I mean, you
could've denied that.

You didn't even try.

Martin had nothing to do
with either of their deaths.

No, I know he didn't...
no, he's not a killer.

He's a pathetic fantasist

pretending to be a killer.

And why would I do that?

Well, um, let me
think about that.

Let's imagine

that you were trapped in
an entirely loveless marriage

with a wife who bullied you

and made you feel
small about yourself.

Get out of my house!
I haven't finished yet.

He wanted you to think he
had the balls to kill your brother.

So, it's all been a charade.

Hm?

Trying to make me
understand the motive,

and spelling it all out.

And that business
with the car...

did he tell you about that?

Yes, I bet he did.

Trying to scare me off

made him look like a man.

But it hasn't worked.

He's been lying as much

And that's why I'm

Oh, with your permission.

It is clear now

that Stefan Leonida
did not kill Frank Parris.

Cecily knew the truth,

and it was that which
put her own life in danger.

You'd better know what you're
talking about, Miss Ryeland.

I've only agreed to be here
because... Oh, you're here because

you were wrong,
Detective Superintendent.

You've always been wrong,
and somewhere inside you,

you knew it.

Do you know who killed Cecily?

Yes, I do.

Then tell me.

You have to tell me.

I can't stand any more of this.

We have to start with the
night before the wedding,

the night Frank
Parris was murdered,

to see how Stefan was framed,
because that's what happened.

That was the plan all along.

It began with the dog barking.

What's that got to
do with anything?

It's the reason

Derek went upstairs.

I noticed a, a brooch

in the display on the
landing. The figeen.

I believe someone
jabbed it into the dog

to make it bark, and that drew
Derek upstairs to the landing

just in time to see someone
who looked like Stefan...

Stefan?

...on his way to room 12,

the room occupied
by Frank Parris.

But it, it wasn't Stefan?

No, Derek.

It was Leo.

Who's Leo?

Leo was a male escort...

...working in London.

Frank Parris was a client
of his, and Alan's book

is dedicated to both of them.

"For Frank and Leo:
In Remembrance." Mm.

Cecily said

the killer was
named in the book.

And there it is.

So, what do we know about Leo?

Well, only what James Taylor,

who was a friend of Alan
Conway's, told me in London.

I have a feeling
he was Australian.

Alan made a joke about him once.

He said Leo had just
got back from Melbourne,

so he's probably
in bed with jet lag.

What are you looking at me for?

I've got nothing to do with it.

I've never met any
of these people!

Leo was doing what he did,

living as a sex worker,
because he wanted money.

And he must have been here

when Alan came to the hotel.

Why else would he
have been in the book?

But Leo is not just a name.

But Leo is not just a name.

It suddenly occurred to me

when I was in a pub in
Norfolk just this morning.

The Plough and Stars.

Exactly.

Leo is a star sign.

And when you remember that,

everything clicks into place.

Cecily believed in
all of that, didn't she?

Astrology and horoscopes.

Well, you told me.

Absolutely... she
read it every day.

And then there was the
pendant that she liked to wear,

an amulet,

with three stars and an
arrow... that happens to be

the star sign for Sagittarius.

When was her birthday?

December the 10th.

How about you, Aiden?

August 16.

Leo.

That, um, tattoo
on your shoulder.

It's a glyph, isn't it?

A symbol that
denotes a constellation.

I half-noticed it when I saw
the photograph in your home,

Aiden, but it was
only later that I realized

its significance...
it's shorthand

for a lion's head and tail.

Leo, again.

According to all of the books,

Leo and Sagittarius

are highly compatible, which
is exactly what Cecily said

when she spoke at her wedding.

So, you're saying
I worked in London

as a male escort,

and that I was called Leo.

Yes.

That is rubbish... I
was an estate agent.

And I'm not Australian.

I've never been to
Australia in my life.

Ah, well, Alan said that Leo

was jet-lagged
traveling from Melbourne.

But he said it as a joke.

Why was that?

Well, it only becomes a joke
if it isn't Melbourne, Australia,

but somewhere much closer...
there's a town called Melbourne

in South Derbyshire.

Your mother came
from Derbyshire.

You even said so in your speech.

And I just want
to say to my mum,

I'm so glad that you
were able to come

all the way down from
Derbyshire for today.

You were Leo?

Got it in one,

Detective Superintendent.

He met Cecily and he married her

because he wanted all of this.

It's not true. And you got it.

You got it... a new life, money,

a bright future,
and you'd escaped

your sordid past.

But then the worst
possible stroke of luck.

On the eve of the
wedding, Frank Parris

checks in to the hotel,

and of course,
he recognizes you.

We might have something
in the Moonflower wing.

This is all lies.

One moment, he's
all sullen and sniffy

about his room, the
next, he's all smiles,

because he's already
worked out what he's gonna do.

The opera!

And this is when we get

to "The Marriage of Figaro."

Frank said he was going
to see the opera that night,

but it wasn't on.

And Alan put it
into his book, too.

Why?

It, it has a wedding in it?

It's more than that, Lawrence.

It's what this whole
thing has been about.

Control.

The opera's a comedy: it's
about a couple getting married.

The villain is an aristocrat

who tries to force one
of them to sleep with him

on their wedding night.

You're saying that, that...
Frank Parris knew the opera,

and when he bumped into Aiden,

quite by chance, on
the eve of his wedding,

he had a nasty idea.

He would do exactly
the same thing to Aiden.

Frank recognized him.

He knew Aiden's past.

And that gave him
complete power.

He would force Aiden
to have sex with him.

So, why did Alan Conway
put the opera in his book?

Well, Alan knew Frank well.

So he must have
guessed what happened,

and included "The
Marriage of Figaro"

as a clue. AIDEN: My wife
was found dead yesterday.

I was in love with her.

I don't have to listen
to any more of this.

Oh, I think you do.

Frank even pretended
that his key was broken,

and he passed it to you
right in front of your wife-to-be.

This is for you.

It's not working.

The key for you to come
to his room later that night.

But he didn't
realize you'd decided

you weren't going
to play his game.

He was a danger to you.

And you were going
to get rid of him.

You also decided that you
were going to frame Stefan.

You must have known
about his gambling debts.

So, you made sure he
didn't wake up that night.

Maybe I drank too much wine

and it knocked me out.

So you drugged him.

Cecily was taking
sleeping pills.

That's what knocked him out,

not the alcohol.

And then, when midnight
came, you dressed up as Stefan,

you carried his toolbox.

But first, you made sure
you'd have a witness.

It would've only taken
you a few seconds

to get into room 12.

And then?

And then you hammered
Frank Parris to death.

No.

I would advise you not to
say anything, Mr. MacNeil.

You listen to what
she has to say.

Thank you, Detective
Superintendent,

but that wasn't the end of it.

Would've been easy for
you to get into Stefan's room.

This is all crazy...
Stefan was my friend.

That's not true, either.

He may have been, once.

But not once you found out

that he was having a
relationship with your wife.

What?

Yes, I'm sorry to break
it to you, Lawrence,

and to you, Pauline.

Cecily was always
fond of Stefan.

They were always so close.

I mean, it's possible
the affair started

long before she met Aiden.

But of course, she
had to keep it from you.

He was an immigrant.

He had a criminal record.

It was Cecily.

In the wood.

Yes, that's right, Liam.

You assumed it
was Stefan and Lisa.

It never occurred to you

that he might be
involved with both sisters.

♪ ♪

That's the real reason
you fired him, isn't it, Lisa?

You found out.

Look, I don't believe
it... I won't believe it.

Cecily wasn't like that.

I'm afraid the evidence

is right in front of
your eyes, Lawrence.

Your granddaughter, Roxana.

Does she look
anything like Aiden?

Or does she remind
you of someone else?

Stefan... oh, my God.

He's spent seven years
in jail because of you!

He confessed!

Yes, he confessed because
you made him confess,

and you're gonna
have to live with that.

But even now,

he's protecting Cecily.

He didn't tell me the truth, but
he said something quite strange.

The one brightness in my life,

the one dawn that gives me
hope, has been taken from me.

Cecily chose the
name of her child.

Roxana is quite a
common name in Romanian.

It means brightness.

Or dawn.

♪ ♪

At least there's one
good thing that's left

out of all this.

I hope it's a
consolation to you.

You killed Cecily.

You took her to the woods
and you strangled her!

I didn't want to.

I loved her.

I tried to love her.

But she saw something in
that stupid, stupid book that...

And she was going to tell.

You're an evil man.

You are a wicked, evil man!

I've got it.

Hm.

Mm, thank you.

All right, tell me.

Alan wanted us to know
that the killer was Leo.

Leo was also a star sign.

So that's what he did.

He filled the book with lions.

Go on.

Well, first of all,
there was the pub

at Tawleigh.

Then there was Oscar Berlin.

It is the work of almost
three years, Melissa.

With his script.

It was all about
Richard the Lionheart.

The comic that Eric
read was the "Lion."

Alan told me that was a clue.

That was why he
insisted on Bert Lahr.

He plays the cowardly lion

in "The Wizard of
Oz." ANDREAS: Yes.

The stained-glass window
in the Church of St. Daniel.

The lions' den. Yeah!

And, most of all,

Algernon's number plate.

I mean, that really said it all.

I mean, it goes on and
on, and I've probably

missed half of them, but
that was his secret message.

There were lots of lions.

So that's it.

It's over!

We, yeah, may, maybe.

But you know Alan... there
might be something else.

There's nothing
else... it's enough.

Please, Susan, don't
be angry with me,

but it's time to
finish with all this.

I think you've
allowed Alan Conway

to do enough
damage to your life.

You might be right.

Of course I'm right.

I want you to
forget about all this

and come out with me tonight.

Where are we going?

♪ ♪

Hm.

you've had your head
