00:01:59Jamie, I respectfully request that my personal life not be considered as fodder for our mystery
00:02:10games. I was just brainstorming. Besides, I certainly won't be here when the Trask party
00:02:17attends. Ah, well Ainsley has made your participation a condition to her package.
00:02:25You're joking. Is this my joking face? Why would she-
00:02:28Insecurity. She might worry that Franklin still carries a torch for you, so she's coming
00:02:34down here in the hopes of extinguishing that torch.
00:02:38Well, she is certainly playing with fire. I'm simply extending Jason's metaphor.
00:02:49Anyway, if you decide to go forward with this proposal, I will plan to be here that weekend
00:02:56as well. Oh, you don't need to- I don't. I want to.
00:03:03At any rate, Janie, we have more murder games to write if you don't mind.
00:03:06Yes, my office is yours.
00:03:10Jason said you might be out here. You went back to his houseboat? He did. He said you seem to need some time and space to think.
00:03:15Ah, neither of which you're giving me. I'm a terrible friend, aren't I? The worst. I have thought Scotch. I have thought Scotch.
00:03:21You know, I only met Franklin a handful of times. I'm a terrible friend, aren't I? The worst. I have thought Scotch.
00:03:33You know, I only met Franklin a handful of times, but I dare say that Jason is correct about Ainsley wanting to come here to extinguish whatever flames your ex may still have for you.
00:03:43Oh. Oh, and I think you're rubbing off on him. Who? Well, Jason. I don't recall him thinking so much about psychology when our paths first crossed.
00:03:53Yeah, I suppose that's true. I suppose that's true.
00:03:55Well, I suppose that's true.
00:03:56Well, it's not the worst.
00:03:57I have thought Scotch.
00:03:58You know, I only met Franklin a handful of times, but I dare say that Jason is correct about Ainsley wanting to come here to extinguish whatever flames your ex may still have for you.
00:04:05Oh.
00:04:06And I think you're rubbing off on him.
00:04:07Who?
00:04:08Well, Jason. I don't recall him thinking so much about psychology when our paths first crossed.
00:04:12And I think it's rather chivalrous of him to want to come out here when Franklin comes to Mystery Island.
00:04:19If Franklin comes, you mean?
00:04:21Well, do I? I mean, I don't know if you realise, but you too would do well to extinguish whatever stray embers you may still have for Franklin.
00:04:29There are no embers, Janie. Trust me.
00:04:32Well, oh good. Then you'll have no problem supporting this venture.
00:04:35I see what you did there.
00:04:37What?
00:04:39Well played.
00:04:41Okay, fine. Tell Mrs. Trust they can come.
00:04:47Shall do.
00:04:48Two, er, torches being extinguished.
00:04:52Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. We have an exciting weekend ahead. Starting with full
00:04:59VIP conditions for the party of Franklin Trask. Additionally, disguised as a guest and amongst his party,
00:05:06will be our COO, Baroness Jane Alcott.
00:05:13Thank you, Bennett.
00:05:14Thank you, Bennett. Well, I'm excited about this weekend for a plethora of reasons, but chief among them is that our brilliant game writers,
00:05:20Dr. Priestley and Detective Trent will also be here, Dr. Priestley and Detective Trent will also be here, which hasn't happened for a while.
00:05:30The game will begin at the hidden hut. And this weekend, Emilia will be playing as herself. But Jason and I will be taking on fictitious roles in the narrative.
00:05:45And I will be disguised as Franklin Trask did meet me several years ago. And I will be playing the role of Professor Loretta Maybury, an archeologist from California. And Jason will be playing the role of Professor Loretta Maybury, an archeologist from California. And Jason will be playing the role of Professor Loretta Maybury.
00:06:12And Jason will be cast very much against type as Sean Callahan, a Boston businessman, which is a euphemism for gangster.
00:06:25And our VIP party consists of Vivica Bentley, COO and Franklin Trask's right hand woman at Trask Global Hedge Fund.
00:06:34Spencer Trask, a former NFL tight end who was briefly a VP at Trask Global until a month ago.
00:06:42Patricia Colacello, Spencer's model girlfriend.
00:06:47And Mickey Carlisle, a Des Moines school teacher, who has been best friends with Ainsley Trask since they were children.
00:06:54And finally, the host of the party, Franklin Trask, a billionaire with a capital B.
00:07:02And his newlywed wife, Ainsley, a successful corporate attorney.
00:07:08For those of you who don't know me, my name is Dr. Amelia Priestley, game author.
00:07:15And on behalf of our CEO, Carlos Del Fuego, I want to welcome you to Mystery Island and allow me to introduce our new new house manager of Major Domo and Simmons, her assistant.
00:07:25Oh, please call me Bennett. Now, before we repair to the veranda for cocktails, if you could all kindly place your mobile phones into this black box Simmons has.
00:07:34Hang on. I promised my followers hourly updates.
00:07:38Oh, honey. Hey, you remember that time when you got food boys and didn't post for like two days?
00:07:43You actually got more followers. Well, this is like that.
00:07:46Spencer, you're so smart.
00:07:48Take a look at me.
00:07:56Amelia. A blast.
00:07:59It's lovely to meet you.
00:08:04It's not something I hear often.
00:08:06Oh, she is more beautiful than you led me to believe, Frankie.
00:08:11And no band on that fourth finger.
00:08:16I cannot believe you're still single.
00:08:18I see you're already playing detective, Mrs. Trask.
00:08:21I am all in.
00:08:22I even offered to bet Frankie I could solve the mystery first, didn't I, my love?
00:08:26You didn't take the bet, but I did. You're ready to pay up, Baines.
00:08:31If both of you wouldn't mind handing in your phones, we may proceed.
00:08:34Well, Spencer.
00:08:39It's, uh, good to see you, Emmy.
00:08:56You're welcome.
00:08:57I'm so happy.
00:08:58I'm so happy.
00:08:59I'm so happy, yeah.
00:09:02Ladies and gentlemen, we hope you're all enjoying your first looks at Mystery Island.
00:09:15Your luggage has been taken care of.
00:09:18Bennett has your keys and you'll be shown to your rooms.
00:09:20Once you are all there, you will find the first clue that'll begin the game.
00:09:23Can you tell us where the body is?
00:09:25That's all part of the mystery, Ms. Colacello,
00:09:27but I can assure you, among the people assembled here,
00:09:30there is a killer.
00:09:31Delightful.
00:09:32This is already so much fun.
00:09:34Come on, Franklin.
00:09:36Let's not waste time looking at views.
00:09:37I've got a murder to solve.
00:09:47You okay?
00:09:48Fine.
00:09:49You don't look fine.
00:09:50No? How do I look?
00:09:51Understandably addled at being face-to-face
00:09:53with a man you almost married and has abrasive new wife.
00:09:55You think she's abrasive?
00:09:57She makes sandpaper look like silk.
00:09:59Frankly from one extreme to the other.
00:10:01Are you suggesting I'm not abrasive?
00:10:03Or obnoxious, or entitled, or any of Ainsley's
00:10:05other in-your-face qualities?
00:10:07Listen, I should tell-
00:10:08I told Vivica I forgot my key.
00:10:10She's already decided to be my partner in crime-solving,
00:10:12and she keeps pumping me with questions about archaeology,
00:10:14and I'm just inventing answers.
00:10:16Janie, you were supposed to study.
00:10:18You know how I feel about studying, Em?
00:10:20What about you?
00:10:21Have they asked you about being a mobster?
00:10:22When someone asks me what business I know,
00:10:24I say, that's my business.
00:10:25Oh, no, that's good.
00:10:27Oh, and I must say, Franklin does seem quite into his wife.
00:10:30Well, he did manage to slip me this.
00:10:33What is it?
00:10:35I have to see you alone.
00:10:37Tell me where and when.
00:10:39I knew it.
00:10:40What did you know?
00:10:41Well, that he is still in love with you.
00:10:43You just said he was attached to his wife.
00:10:45Oh, he's overcompensating.
00:10:46Clearly.
00:10:47When are you going to meet him?
00:10:48I'm not sure that I am.
00:10:49Oh, well, just to find out.
00:10:51Loretta, did you find your key?
00:10:53Sure did.
00:10:56Mr. Callahan, you heard what Dr. Priestley said.
00:10:59We all have to unlock our doors to get the game started.
00:11:02Let's do it.
00:11:16You all got here rather quickly.
00:11:17Yeah, the riddle you had us work out wasn't hard.
00:11:20I thought it was.
00:11:21Yeah, you made that clear, Spencer.
00:11:23Once Ainsley pretty brilliantly figured out that each of the boards in our rooms featured a different part of an anagram.
00:11:28I remember having a hand in that deduction, Mickey.
00:11:31Yeah, I guess you helped.
00:11:32A little.
00:11:33These detective kits are so adorbs.
00:11:36Do we get to keep them?
00:11:37Yep.
00:11:38Yay!
00:11:39Okay, we're here at the Hidden Hut, so we're next.
00:11:43Twelve years ago, when this island was just the home to Evelyn Murtagh and her son John, the sommelier on their staff disappeared.
00:11:49His name was Ricardo Rincon.
00:11:52The Murtaghs only realized he was missing when the police came to the island looking for him.
00:11:56Ricardo had been identified as part of a gold smuggling operation.
00:12:00Did he live in the hut?
00:12:01Yes, he did.
00:12:02Ah, you keeping up, Ains?
00:12:04Of course, the police searched his lodgings, but they found no gold.
00:12:07Might you have better luck?
00:12:09Oh, you better believe we will.
00:12:11There's some boxes we can go through.
00:12:35Yeah, go for it.
00:12:43Looks like this is a big floor.
00:12:46Let's try this.
00:12:52Found something.
00:12:53That was fast.
00:12:55Hey guys, over here.
00:12:57Whoa.
00:12:58Thoughts, Mickey?
00:13:00Mick teaches biology.
00:13:03Well, it's, uh, it's a human...
00:13:07Obviously it's human, Mick.
00:13:08Yes, Spencer.
00:13:09If you let me finish.
00:13:10Human male.
00:13:11Judging by the degree of desiccation, I'd say he's been here for at least ten years.
00:13:15Oh, so this definitely could work for him.
00:13:16Yeah.
00:13:17Yeah.
00:13:18Yeah.
00:13:19Yeah.
00:13:20Yeah.
00:13:21Yeah.
00:13:22Yeah.
00:13:23Yeah.
00:13:24Yeah.
00:13:25Yeah.
00:13:26Yeah.
00:13:27Yeah.
00:13:28Yeah.
00:13:29Yeah.
00:13:30Yeah.
00:13:31Yeah.
00:13:32Yeah.
00:13:33Yeah.
00:13:34Yeah.
00:13:35Yeah.
00:13:36Yeah.
00:13:37Yeah.
00:13:38Yeah.
00:13:39Yeah.
00:13:40Yeah.
00:13:41Yeah.
00:13:42Yeah.
00:13:43Yeah.
00:13:44Yeah.
00:13:45Well, I didn't know him personally, but no, I don't think so.
00:13:48Okay, so maybe this is someone else.
00:13:50Or maybe this is Ricardo Rincon and he was being interrogated right here.
00:13:54What do you think to that possibility, Sean?
00:13:56Why are you asking me?
00:13:58Well, you just seem like the kind of businessman who's been involved in some tough discussions.
00:14:05There are marks on his ribs.
00:14:08Knife wounds, I'd say.
00:14:10He's probably been stabbed many times.
00:14:14Here's a knife.
00:14:16Or it might be dry blood on it.
00:14:18Loretta, look at this.
00:14:21How old would you say this is?
00:14:23Well, it isn't an artifact.
00:14:28Right?
00:14:29The double letter R on the hilt.
00:14:32So possibly Ricardo stabbed this man here.
00:14:36Or Ricardo was killed with his own knife.
00:14:39Look at this map.
00:14:40It's written in some sort of code.
00:14:42Franklin is brilliant with code.
00:14:45Hey, check it out.
00:14:47Some kind of journal.
00:14:48Like a diary.
00:14:50No, it's more like a log.
00:14:52It's in code, too.
00:14:53Well, maybe Franklin can help with that.
00:14:55He's brilliant with code.
00:14:57I'm brilliant at most things, Ains.
00:14:59I know you are, honey.
00:15:02It would be good to know more about Ricardo.
00:15:05Did he grow up poor and that's why he turned to crime?
00:15:08Sometimes I think if I weren't beautiful, I would have been a criminal.
00:15:13Man, there's tons of files here.
00:15:15So if we take that and the map back to the house, get a better look out.
00:15:22What do you think?
00:15:26The letters are clearly jumbled.
00:15:29But look at the dots.
00:15:31This could be a variant cipher.
00:15:33How did you learn to do this?
00:15:36In college, I was bored.
00:15:39Let's tell you to learn code because you're bored.
00:15:46You had such a swift victory locating the hidden room.
00:15:50Are you generously allowing others a chance at a breakthrough?
00:15:54Once you get to know me, you'll see what an absurd question that is.
00:15:58You said Ricardo Rincon was the sommelier?
00:16:02Mm-hmm.
00:16:03Where's the wine cellar?
00:16:06I'll show you.
00:16:09So, if I get to know you better, why would I realise that was an absurd question to think you might want to support the others?
00:16:15You're the psychiatrist. What do you think?
00:16:18I think you play to win.
00:16:20Always have.
00:16:21You know what? I get what Franklin sees in you.
00:16:26If we'd met under different circumstances, we might be good friends.
00:16:30Do you have many good friends?
00:16:32It's not been a forte of mine.
00:16:36I have Mickey, who clearly adores you.
00:16:40But then it is easy to be friends with people from your past who live a thousand miles away.
00:16:44You know what? Franklin warned me you didn't pull your punches.
00:16:51Yeah, I should tell you that the police did search this cellar when Ricardo disappeared and that was years ago.
00:16:57Well, looks like they clearly missed this switch in here.
00:17:05Well, lookie there.
00:17:07Our boy Ricardo sure liked his hidden rooms.
00:17:13Shall we?
00:17:21Bingo.
00:17:23We handled that well, Ainsley.
00:17:24Impressive.
00:17:37I'm not dumb.
00:17:39See these dust patterns on the floor? Some bigger, some not.
00:17:44Someone's been moving the gold out a bit at a time.
00:17:50Are you suggesting a staff member?
00:17:54I don't know.
00:18:03A piece of what's left of Ricardo smuggled gold.
00:18:07And the motive for his murder.
00:18:09Whoever tortured him in that basement below the hut that day,
00:18:12must have finally gotten the gold's location out of him.
00:18:15That bar comes from a crate in a secret room off the wine cellar.
00:18:18But, based on dust patterns on the floor, there had to be more than one crate down there at a time.
00:18:25Someone's been moving the gold out gradually.
00:18:26That's what I thought, Frankie.
00:18:27Is she a genius or what?
00:18:32Ready to pay off on our bets, Spencer?
00:18:35Hey, hey, whoa. You haven't won yet.
00:18:37We're supposed to find out who killed Ricardo.
00:18:39Well, Dr. Priestley thinks we should look at staff members.
00:18:43Will that make sense?
00:18:44Yeah, but if a staff member killed Ricardo, they would have been able to take the gold all at once.
00:18:49I think our culprit is more likely a person who's come down here several times in the last 12 years.
00:18:56Who would have brought an empty suitcase here and taken it back, loaded with stolen gold.
00:19:00Sean, how many times have you been to Mystery Island?
00:19:05About a handful.
00:19:07You fly privately?
00:19:11Nice way to avoid TSA.
00:19:13And what business are you in, exactly?
00:19:18Import-export.
00:19:20So the mob.
00:19:22Can I go to your room and see if you have a, I don't know, an empty suitcase fortified for extra weight?
00:19:27Go for it.
00:19:33Go for it.
00:19:47Okay, if we track this code to here, and then, Patricia, what have you got?
00:19:52Well, it doesn't look like Morse code. It's the Fibonacci sequence.
00:19:55Oh.
00:19:58Has anyone ever sold a game this quickly?
00:20:01Never on the first day, only once on the second. This is...uncanny.
00:20:05Mrs. Strask is quite...well, she's quite something.
00:20:08Yeah.
00:20:10We worked so hard on the Red Herries getting the coding just right.
00:20:12What's the combination, Sean?
00:20:136-1-7.
00:20:14Lost an area code, of course.
00:20:15Well, it wasn't completely empty.
00:20:17Sean is the smuggler, and likely the killer of Ricardo...Rincon.
00:20:18Ha!
00:20:19Case closed.
00:20:20Well done, Ames.
00:20:21Well done, Ames.
00:20:26Loretta.
00:20:27Loretta.
00:20:28Are you involved?
00:20:29Loretta.
00:20:30Are you involved?
00:20:32That's not Loretta.
00:20:33That's Amelia's best friend.
00:20:34Janie Alves.
00:20:35I'm sorry.
00:20:36I'm sorry.
00:20:37No, I'm sorry.
00:20:38I'm sorry.
00:20:39I'm sorry.
00:20:40I'm sorry.
00:20:41I'm sorry.
00:20:42I'm sorry.
00:20:43I'm sorry.
00:20:44I'm sorry.
00:20:45I'm sorry.
00:20:46I'm sorry.
00:20:47Loretta.
00:20:48Are you involved?
00:20:49That's not Loretta.
00:20:50That's Amelia's best friend.
00:20:51Janie Alcott.
00:20:52The COO of Mystery Island.
00:20:53Indeed.
00:20:54Well, it's lovely to meet you all as my, uh, as my true self.
00:21:09And a hearty congratulations to Mrs. Trask for correctly solving the mystery.
00:21:13Impressive, Ames.
00:21:15The quickest solve yet, I'd say.
00:21:18She is special.
00:21:19Did she get a special prize?
00:21:21All game winners get a special prize, yes.
00:21:24But allow me to introduce you to Jason Trent, who, along with Amelia, make up our game writing team and took on the role of Sean.
00:21:35It's nice to meet everybody.
00:21:36Clever narrative, you two.
00:21:40We thought so.
00:21:41Why don't we all meet on the veranda for a, uh, celebratory drink.
00:21:45Sounds good.
00:21:46Yes?
00:21:47Oh, and you were all getting caught up in maps and codes, and I just thought, well, you all know the expression, follow the money. I'm not talking about you money.
00:22:06Huh.
00:22:07Forgive me, I don't follow.
00:22:09Ainsley's nickname for me is money because it's what I look after for Franklin.
00:22:15Anyway, Sean's big mistake was not figuring out a way all those years ago how to take the gold in one fell swoop.
00:22:24I mean, if you're going to rob somebody, don't do it a little bit at a time. Don't you agree, money?
00:22:29Too true, Ainsley.
00:22:31Anyway, Janie, about that partial refund.
00:22:34Ainsley, come on, please.
00:22:37There's still plenty to do on this gorgeous island this weekend.
00:22:40In fact, Janie, I'm so glad you're here.
00:22:42Now that the game is finished, I'd love to chat to you about a potential investment in this enterprise.
00:22:48What, from you?
00:22:49From Trash Global.
00:22:51I believe you know one of my board members, Piper Plunkett?
00:22:55Piper, yes.
00:22:56She's my second cousin on my mother's side.
00:22:59Well, how lovely.
00:23:01Gosh, I haven't seen her since her father's third wedding.
00:23:04Ladies and gentlemen, dinner will be served in the dining room in one hour.
00:23:09A gentle reminder that we require all guests to be in formal wear for this evening's meal.
00:23:15Come on, babe. Let's go get ready.
00:23:22Well, that was quite unexpected.
00:23:24Ainsley solving the game in record time?
00:23:26No, no. Piper, my second cousin, being on Franklin's board.
00:23:30And yes, Ainsley as well.
00:23:33Janie, I want to caution you in the strongest language possible,
00:23:37not to entertain the idea of bringing these people into the company.
00:23:41Em, it isn't these people. It's a billion dollar hedge fund.
00:23:44And I know it's managed by Franklin.
00:23:47Franklin isn't my problem. It's his wife.
00:23:50Yeah, I realise she can be brass.
00:23:52I don't care about that.
00:23:54I care about how she managed to solve our mystery so quickly.
00:24:00And I intend to find out.
00:24:02She's furious.
00:24:08Yes, well spotted, Jason.
00:24:18Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated.
00:24:20Oh, I know.
00:24:21I know.
00:24:22We have the beautiful s Field.
00:24:23I know you want to be seated.
00:24:24Wanted to be seated?
00:24:25Come on, you have a seat.
00:24:26You want to be seated.
00:24:27Yeah, well done.
00:24:28Be seated.
00:24:29We have a seat.
00:24:30You have a seat.
00:24:31We have a seat.
00:24:32We are seated.
00:24:34It's a seat.
00:24:35And we have a seat.
00:24:36You can send you through that seat.
00:24:39I know I know I know I know I know I'm not.
00:24:41What are you doing?
00:24:56Meeting you, like you asked.
00:24:58Why didn't you use the normal path?
00:25:00Well, I didn't want people to know where I was going.
00:25:03Right.
00:25:05Sorry for being startled.
00:25:07Sorry for startling you.
00:25:08And thanks for the meet.
00:25:13Well, you can thank Ainsley for that.
00:25:15I don't follow.
00:25:18Is she a big mystery fan?
00:25:20Constantly reading whodunits?
00:25:23No, not at all.
00:25:26But, Emmy, I didn't come here to talk about Ainsley.
00:25:28I came here because I made a huge mistake.
00:25:33Franklin, if this is about us...
00:25:34Of course it's about us, Emmy.
00:25:36Look, I, um...
00:25:39I think I married Ainsley because I wanted to prove to myself that I still wasn't in love with you.
00:25:46The joke's on me.
00:25:50Because, guess what?
00:25:55I'm still in love with you.
00:25:57I knew it.
00:25:58I wish I could say I was surprised.
00:26:07Ainsley, hang on.
00:26:11You okay?
00:26:13Not really.
00:26:15But we should follow them.
00:26:17You're being unreasonable!
00:26:18Don't gaslight me, Franklin.
00:26:20I know what I heard.
00:26:22What did you hear?
00:26:23My husband professing his love for his ex.
00:26:28I arranged this whole vacation to test him.
00:26:31And you failed.
00:26:32You're a cheat.
00:26:34And you...
00:26:34Well, you were just ready to fall back into his arms.
00:26:38I did nothing of the sort.
00:26:40And there was no cheating going on.
00:26:41That's you projecting your own behavior.
00:26:43What's that supposed to mean?
00:26:44You don't like whodunits, yet you solved our game in record time.
00:26:47It's called being smart.
00:26:49Which I thought you were.
00:26:51Ainsley, please.
00:26:52Don't do this.
00:26:53I'm doing what needs to be done, money.
00:26:55I would like my own room tonight, please.
00:26:57And I'll be leaving tomorrow morning.
00:26:59When I get back to New York, I'll be filing for divorce.
00:27:01And I will bleed you dry.
00:27:14Thanks, buddy.
00:27:24I should go check on Ains.
00:27:26I'm sure she'll be back to her usual self by tomorrow.
00:27:30Aw, chap, I hate to break it to you.
00:27:32This is her real self.
00:27:36You've never liked her.
00:27:37And you're in love with her.
00:27:38What's that supposed to mean?
00:27:39Oh, please stop arguing.
00:27:41This isn't helping anyone.
00:27:44Bennett, is it possible one of your staff shared details of the mystery script with Ainsley?
00:27:54I do hope not.
00:27:56I'll start interviewing them immediately.
00:28:00I'd be shocked if one of the staff sold us out like this.
00:28:03I don't like the idea either, but I am certain Ainsley cheated.
00:28:06We'll see what Bennett finds.
00:28:07In the meantime, I think we should all get some sleep.
00:28:09I don't think I'll ever get used to these shifting signs As time falls through my hands
00:28:23And the ground is giving way Despite my best laid plans
00:28:32It's all out of my hands
00:28:38Unraveling
00:28:41Sorry to wake you, Emmy, but Ainsley's not in her room.
00:29:06I can't find her anywhere.
00:29:08Are you sure she's not already down at the dock waiting for the boat?
00:29:11No, she's not.
00:29:12Her bags are still in the room and I just don't...
00:29:15Franklin, you go for breakfast.
00:29:17We will swap this.
00:29:18Okay.
00:29:19Okay, thank you.
00:29:21Have you told Janie and Jason?
00:29:23Yes.
00:29:24They're meeting at her room and I've got the staff searching the grounds.
00:29:26Okay.
00:29:27Let me get dressed and I'll meet them there.
00:29:29Toiletry's in the bathroom.
00:29:36And the bed's unmade so clearly she slept here.
00:29:40Didn't Ainsley have four pieces of luggage?
00:29:44And now there's only three.
00:29:48You're spotted, Em.
00:29:50We searched every room and communal area in the mansion as well as the nearby grounds.
00:29:55There's no sign of her.
00:29:57We could press on to other parts of the resort.
00:29:59Let's do that.
00:30:00I want to check places we know Ainsley's bed.
00:30:02Start in the hidden hut, then the white cellar.
00:30:04Well, everything here is as we left it.
00:30:23Should we check the basement?
00:30:25She's dead.
00:30:48She's dead.
00:30:49The carotid artery was cut.
00:31:03The killer was angry.
00:31:04Both thorough.
00:31:05Time of death.
00:31:07All park between 12 and 2.
00:31:10Her hand.
00:31:11Yeah, I saw that.
00:31:13It looks like an S.
00:31:15But the guest is Spencer.
00:31:17And the only staff member is Simmons.
00:31:19I'll go and check the security camera, see what his movements were.
00:31:23Ray and I will go tell Franklin.
00:31:26Oh.
00:31:32Franklin, when I'm not writing murder games for Mystery Island, I'm a detective on the mainland.
00:31:36This is Ray Romero, the chief of police.
00:31:38I'm grateful to you both.
00:31:40Do you have any leads?
00:31:42I regret to inform you, Mr. Trash, that your wife was murdered last night.
00:31:49Murdered?
00:31:51Are you sure?
00:31:53Quite sure, sir.
00:31:55I don't, um...
00:31:58What happened?
00:31:59That's what we intend to find out.
00:32:01Where was she?
00:32:03The hidden hut.
00:32:04She was killed sometime between midnight and 2 a.m.
00:32:07This is, um...
00:32:09There's a lot to take in, I know.
00:32:11Look, I, um, I realize everyone in this room is thinking about what happened between Ainsley and I last night.
00:32:18And I want to be clear.
00:32:20I loved Ainsley.
00:32:22And absolutely would have given her the divorce if that's what she really wanted.
00:32:28And my guests and I will, um, stay here on this island until the killer's been arrested.
00:32:32We appreciate that cooperation, sir.
00:32:36I need to interview everyone here.
00:32:38Starting with Spencer.
00:32:39You, actually.
00:32:43Everyone, could I have your attention, please?
00:32:45I'm a detective and this is Ray Romero, the chief of police.
00:32:48I regret to inform you that Ainsley's been killed.
00:32:51Oh, no.
00:33:02Okay, Emilia.
00:33:03To explain why we tra-
00:33:04I expect Jason told you that I was engaged to Franklin nearly seven years ago
00:33:08and Franklin gave me a note upon arriving here insisting we meet in private.
00:33:12That he told me last night that he was still in love with me, which Ainsley heard, as did Jason.
00:33:16And this led to the row that the Trasks had, her threats of divorce, etc, etc.
00:33:20Yes, so you understand-
00:33:22I do.
00:33:23And as Jason also knows, I was adamantly opposed to Franklin and his party coming to this island.
00:33:28It was me who ended our engagement.
00:33:31Why?
00:33:35It was a mistake.
00:33:37I was in love with Franklin at first, but I wasn't willing to move to New York
00:33:41and he certainly wasn't going to go to London, so we were long distance for nearly a year.
00:33:45And then he suddenly proposed, promising to relocate his business to London.
00:33:51And I accepted.
00:33:53But as the months passed, it became clear I was just another deal he needed to close, so I ended it.
00:34:00So why did you meet with him in secret down on the beach?
00:34:05Because I believe Ainsley cheated at the game and I had some questions I wanted to ask Franklin to help me prove it.
00:34:11Did you succeed?
00:34:13I learned she's not in the least bit interested in whodunnits.
00:34:19What do you think about this theory?
00:34:21I think Amelia's right.
00:34:26And where were you between midnight and 2am?
00:34:30Asleep.
00:34:32I had an aperitif in my room to take the edge off.
00:34:36And it did its job rather thoroughly.
00:34:38Okay.
00:34:40Well, thank you Amelia.
00:34:42I hope you understand that we can't at this time include you on this side of the table.
00:34:48Could you ask Franklin to join us?
00:34:51Of course.
00:35:01I had an aperitif last night as well, and it did quite a number on me.
00:35:05I passed out in the chair in my room.
00:35:07I don't know why anyone would want to drug us, but I need to order a few tox screens.
00:35:10Sure.
00:35:12Franklin.
00:35:14The police would like to talk to you in the dining room.
00:35:18Janey.
00:35:20What is it?
00:35:22I think I'm being treated as a suspect.
00:35:23Well, yes, of course.
00:35:24I assume so, given them questioning you do.
00:35:25Jealousy is a powerful motive for murder.
00:35:27I haven't seen Franklin in seven years.
00:35:28And the first day that you do, you're exchanging love declarations on the beach.
00:35:30Not exchanging.
00:35:31It was him to me.
00:35:32Oh no, I'm darling.
00:35:33I don't think in a million years you had anything to do with Ainslie's murder.
00:35:34I'm just positing the kind of hypotheticals Jason is.
00:35:36Ah, Jason who knows me.
00:35:38Yes, and I don't think for a moment that Jason thinks you're the suspect either.
00:35:54But he has to do his due diligence as a detective.
00:35:57Wouldn't you agree?
00:35:58Yes, of course.
00:36:00I did tell Ray about my suspicions that Ainslie cheated.
00:36:02But I'm not sure he's convinced it's connected to her murder and will pursue it.
00:36:10Then we shall.
00:36:12So there are some motives among these guests for perhaps wanting Ainslie dead.
00:36:16Yes, starting with her husband who hardly convinced me with his stoic speech.
00:36:21Before we go there, we should think about how Ainslie cheated.
00:36:24I know after her interviews, Bennett said her staff were above reproach.
00:36:27But I would kind of like to search their rooms.
00:36:33Well Em, I'm COO. That's corporate property.
00:36:58Jamie.
00:37:00Ainslie's full suitcase.
00:37:11It appears my theory was correct.
00:37:13$50,000.
00:37:27And this is likely just the payout.
00:37:29I bet Ainslie gave the same amount in advance.
00:37:32What are you doing?
00:37:39Get Jason.
00:37:43Jason?
00:37:46Jason?
00:37:58Amelia.
00:38:00Amelia, wake up.
00:38:04Hey.
00:38:06Hey.
00:38:08What's going on?
00:38:09Janie came running to tell me that you were chasing Simmons.
00:38:13Right.
00:38:15Oh.
00:38:16Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:38:17Lay back.
00:38:20Yeah.
00:38:21I think that might be best.
00:38:23You've got quite a knot on the back of your head.
00:38:25Did you see Simmons?
00:38:27Oh, he must have been waiting for me.
00:38:29Got behind me.
00:38:31Go find him.
00:38:32We need to get you to the infirmary.
00:38:34I can carry you.
00:38:35Okay.
00:38:36Oh.
00:38:38Hang on.
00:38:44For being here.
00:38:46Of course.
00:38:48And listen, I'm sorry we had to grill you like that earlier.
00:38:51I'm sorry if I was a bit short with you.
00:38:54More with Ray.
00:38:55Do you really think I murdered the wife of my ex?
00:39:01Do you really think I think you did?
00:39:03No.
00:39:05I know you're just doing your job.
00:39:09Do you have conflicted feelings about Franklin?
00:39:12I do.
00:39:14The feelings in conflict are a great deal of pity.
00:39:16A small amount of nostalgia and confusion at how I ever could have said yes to marrying him.
00:39:23I can think of a few reasons someone would marry the guy, but I don't think you care about those reasons.
00:39:29You know me well.
00:39:32I think I can stand up now.
00:39:34Go slow.
00:39:35Oh, um, the suitcase and money in Simmons' room.
00:39:43Janie and Ray are taking care of that.
00:39:44I was thinking it was the payout.
00:39:46We'll definitely check to see if Simmons opened an offshore account in the last month where Ainsley could have wired the advance, but it looks like you were right.
00:39:52She's so competitive, she spent a hundred grand to win a game.
00:39:55I think it's more than competition.
00:39:57I think she wanted to prove to Franklin that she's smarter than me.
00:40:00I think she knew Franklin was still in love with you.
00:40:02If she spent all that money just to hear him declare that love to you, then maybe she went to Simmons and asked for her money back.
00:40:08And perhaps he refused, she threatened him, and he killed her?
00:40:11Are you gonna bring more police over to search for him?
00:40:14I think a better use of manpower is to shut down the dock so he can't get off the island.
00:40:18He didn't plan for this.
00:40:19He'll get hungry and thirsty soon enough then surface.
00:40:22But now I don't know why anyone drugged our aperitif.
00:40:25Our aperitifs?
00:40:26Yeah, I had mine last night.
00:40:28Same reaction, I fell asleep way too fast.
00:40:30I have Ray running tox screen.
00:40:32Ready to head back?
00:40:34Get a few more suspects to interview.
00:40:36I'm happy to help with that.
00:40:38I'm sure you are, but technically you're still a suspect.
00:40:40Of course.
00:40:42So if you and Janie want to continue your investigation...
00:40:44We just might.
00:40:46Just don't chase anyone into the jungle, okay?
00:40:49Look straight ahead.
00:40:53Hello?
00:40:59Good news is you're not concussed.
00:41:05For the headache.
00:41:07And you need to rest.
00:41:09Thank you, Rosie. You're welcome.
00:41:11So, to your room.
00:41:13Oh, I'm not resting.
00:41:15There's a killer among us.
00:41:17But, Simmons...
00:41:19I'm not convinced it was him.
00:41:22So...
00:41:24So...
00:41:25Jason and Ray are doing interviews.
00:41:26We should do our own.
00:41:28Are we?
00:41:30Look, I watch a lot of true crime.
00:41:33And I know the husband is always suspect numero uno.
00:41:36Okay, but I'm telling you, Franklin isn't a good guy, okay?
00:41:39He's a great guy.
00:41:41Yet, you left his company a month ago.
00:41:44That had nothing to do with Franklin, man.
00:41:48What'd it have to do with?
00:41:49Ainsley!
00:41:51She wanted me out.
00:41:52So I got out.
00:41:54Look, before you go thinking that's a motive,
00:41:56I make a ton of money in my endorsements,
00:41:57and now I've got more time for Patricia,
00:41:58so it's all good.
00:41:59Why would Ainsley want you out?
00:42:01I mean...
00:42:02Look, I don't want to speak ill about the dead, okay?
00:42:05But she was a controlling monster.
00:42:09But look, the NFL is full of people like her, okay?
00:42:11No biggie.
00:42:12Who are you between midnight and 2am?
00:42:13Passed out.
00:42:15Me and Patricia both.
00:42:16Jet lag, I guess.
00:42:18Hey, listen.
00:42:19Frankie said that Ainsley paid up a member of staff
00:42:20to cheat the game.
00:42:22Was it that Simmons guy?
00:42:24How would you think that?
00:42:25Well, you know, suddenly he's not around.
00:42:28Bet he's gotta be top of the suspect list, right?
00:42:30What?
00:42:40Franklin?
00:42:44How you doing?
00:42:46Honestly, we wrung out.
00:42:48Your detective friend asked me about a prenup,
00:42:51which of course we had.
00:42:53Ainsley was bluffing
00:42:54when she threatened to believe me financially in her divorce.
00:42:57Is that typical of her? Bluffing?
00:42:58Well, she's a corporate lawyer.
00:43:00It's what she does.
00:43:02Did.
00:43:04Every day.
00:43:09I'm sorry.
00:43:10No, don't apologize, please.
00:43:12It's just I know I told you my marriage was a mistake.
00:43:16That doesn't mean I didn't care about her.
00:43:19And it's hard not to think that one of the people I brought here
00:43:21is responsible.
00:43:23Franklin.
00:43:25It seems that Em was correct.
00:43:28Ainsley was cheating at the game.
00:43:30I was thinking about that.
00:43:31Ainsley came down here to the mainland a few weeks ago.
00:43:34Supposedly to see a client, but now I'm not sure.
00:43:37It does appear that she was paying one of our staff quite a lot of money.
00:43:42Well, there you go.
00:43:44Why?
00:43:45Why would she want to win so badly?
00:43:47To humiliate the game's author?
00:43:49And humiliate me?
00:43:50She's been trying to do that since my honeymoon was over.
00:43:53That's why she brought Mickey with us.
00:43:56I'm pretty sure they're having an affair.
00:43:58I told Detective Trent.
00:44:00Where is Mickey?
00:44:01Uh, I think he's just going to talk to the detectives.
00:44:05Thanks Franklin.
00:44:14I'm not comfortable breaking into a guest room.
00:44:17You're not breaking in!
00:44:19We're just going in there to retrieve my property.
00:44:29I can't!
00:44:31Well, I'm going in.
00:44:32I'm going in.
00:44:38Ainsley and I were high school sweethearts.
00:44:40We split up freshman year of college.
00:44:43It was her idea.
00:44:44And I hadn't seen her for years until our class reunion last year.
00:44:48Then a month after that I was in New York for a conference and we connected.
00:44:51She just got back from her honeymoon.
00:44:53How did she see?
00:44:55Usual.
00:44:57Intense.
00:44:58Driven.
00:44:59Funny.
00:45:00Like, ten steps ahead of everyone else.
00:45:03How many times did you see her after that?
00:45:06A few.
00:45:08And your relationship was strictly platonic.
00:45:13Why would you ask that?
00:45:15Ainsley is...
00:45:17was...
00:45:19totally committed to her husband.
00:45:21She seems so ready to divorce him.
00:45:26Ains was the president of a theater club in high school.
00:45:30She's a drama queen.
00:45:31I figured she and Franklin would kiss and make up.
00:45:34Where were you last night between midnight and two?
00:45:37I went to my room around 11.
00:45:39I tried to finish my book but I nodded off pretty fast.
00:45:46Thank you, Mickey.
00:45:48Vivica, can we chat?
00:45:50Of course, Detective.
00:45:51I was hoping there would be a tranche of love letters between him and Ainsley.
00:46:08Well, this isn't that, but it is quite curious.
00:46:09John's book?
00:46:10He's probably borrowed it from our library.
00:46:11No, this is Mickey's personal copy.
00:46:12And it's quite annotated.
00:46:13It's quite annotated.
00:46:14What?
00:46:15What?
00:46:16What?
00:46:17What?
00:46:18What?
00:46:20Who sounds?
00:46:21Oh man, thank you, Minnie.
00:46:22What?
00:46:24Who does that want?
00:46:25Michael值, you can seeकmate.
00:46:27Jam's book.
00:46:28He's probably borrowed it from our library.
00:46:29No, this is Mickey's personal copy.
00:46:32And it's quite annotated.
00:46:34That's it.
00:47:04We need to follow him. He's going to commit another murder.
00:47:32I'm just devastated.
00:47:35I adored Ainsley. She was a real ally on the company board.
00:47:40Were you friends outside of work?
00:47:44But she had that nickname for you.
00:47:47Money?
00:47:50Detective, you must be assuming that that is derogatory.
00:47:54In our world, it's really quite the compliment.
00:47:57Can you imagine why anyone would want to do this to her?
00:47:59No.
00:48:04I'm sorry to ask, but where were you between midnight and two?
00:48:09Uh, I was asleep, but I rarely make you past 11.
00:48:14No, it's not. It's okay. No, it's not okay.
00:48:19No, it's not. It's okay. No, it's not okay.
00:48:24He's dead. He's stuck on this island. I...
00:48:28That way.
00:48:29No, I am old. I'm old.
00:48:32I've got Mickey.
00:48:33I've got my picker.
00:48:34I've got Mickey.
00:48:35I've got my picker.
00:48:36I've got my picker.
00:48:37I've got my picker.
00:48:38I've got my picker.
00:48:39I've got my picker.
00:48:40I've got my picker.
00:48:41I've got my picker.
00:48:42I've got my picker.
00:48:46Hello?
00:48:47I've got my picker.
00:49:08Hello? Is there anyone in there?
00:49:20Can I help you?
00:49:21I wanted to turn this in.
00:49:25You make sure it's not the murder weapon.
00:49:27We'll take a look.
00:49:38I mean, Ainsley was totally brilliant,
00:50:07but she was a horrible person.
00:50:10I tried being a good sister to her,
00:50:12but she's zero time for me.
00:50:14So, whatever, I moved on.
00:50:16Were you upset when she forced Spencer
00:50:18out of Franklin's company?
00:50:19How did Spencer tell you that?
00:50:21Who runs the company?
00:50:24So you're saying Franklin forced out his own brother?
00:50:26I'm saying he brought Spencer in there
00:50:29because NFL players are a big deal.
00:50:31They get people excited, right?
00:50:32Which is what Spencer was doing.
00:50:34But then Franklin comes to Spencer
00:50:36and says he believes he's trying to edge Franklin
00:50:38out of his own company,
00:50:39which Spencer was totally not doing, obviously,
00:50:42even though he's totally smart and could do it.
00:50:44And Spencer would maybe be upset with me
00:50:46for telling you this,
00:50:48but I was furious with Franklin for a minute there.
00:50:51I mean, I could have killed him, literally.
00:50:54But I calmed down.
00:50:57Spencer always says family first,
00:50:59so anyway, all good now.
00:51:02Except Ainsley being murdered.
00:51:05Except that.
00:51:05Spencer, you just gotta try to see
00:51:08the핑 come a cut,
00:51:09but we're still going to.
00:51:10It's not a mess,
00:51:11but it goes down there,
00:51:12but whatever.
00:51:15So you have to be whole of you
00:51:16what you rant to the mill
00:51:23using right to is in the future.
00:51:28Here's the clarification.
00:51:28there you are so i tailed vivica back here where she met up with franklin and gave him a very
00:51:42familiar shoulder massage how did he receive it quite comfortably and then he poured them some
00:51:50wine and they went up to his room i noticed them being comfortable yesterday hey what about mickey
00:51:57well he went to the hidden hut what are you joking isn't that where the forensics people are
00:52:03yes they are which is why he went he turned in he turned in the knife
00:52:11the one who threatened vivica with i'm not sure he was threatening her he was most certainly was
00:52:19threatening her think about his body language he backed away from her he held the knife low and
00:52:25close to himself and then he bolted from her after shouting that she owed him he actually said
00:52:30i'm owed which not to be a language obsessive doesn't necessarily mean vivica's the one who
00:52:35owes him whatever he feels like he's owed fair point miss criminal psychiatrist that's the doctor
00:52:43miss criminal psychiatrist please okay so so he handed in the knife and then what um he went to
00:52:49the beach and looked at the ocean is he still there i don't know while i was watching him i had a
00:52:57thought so i i went and got his murder book and look what i found among the annotations even an amateur
00:53:04person utterly unskilled at murder can walk up to a seated person from behind with a sharp four inch blade
00:53:09and cut their carotid artery as easy as slicing a lemon ray said that amesley's carotid art is what the killer cut
00:53:18but this is hardly proof we can take to jason yeah you're right we need to get back to our murder board
00:53:26think this all through
00:53:27now i know it's a cliche but before mickey's book i was thinking that franklin was the prime suspect and
00:53:42his motive was to get out of his marriage and do you think he's capable of murder
00:53:48every human being is capable of murder given the right circumstances but i'm not sure these
00:53:53are going to go to them for franklin right okay so pivoting to our second suspect mickey who was
00:54:00studying how to cut a carotid artery what if he was still in love with ainsley the same way that
00:54:06franklin is still in love with you ainsley threatens divorce mickey goes to ainsley professes his love
00:54:11but she rejects him and he kills her extreme but possible we also need to know what he's owed
00:54:17oh definitely and spencer who is clear on his dislike of ainsley is our third suspect
00:54:23and fourth suspect is obviously simmons he was being paid by ainsley to help her cheat
00:54:33maybe she didn't pay him the second half after everything blew up and he killed her for the
00:54:38money that's a big maybe we also know he was in his room from midnight until 2am
00:54:44speaking of which did i tell you i fell asleep crazy fast last night apparently jason did too so he's
00:54:49running toxicology on the aperitif cinema oh and i also fell asleep uncommonly early having drunk my
00:54:54aperitif really yes what if this was the murderer putting the three investigative geniuses on the
00:55:00island out of commission so that the murder could be committed well jason needs to test my aperitif as
00:55:05well okay well someone would have had to have stolen a pass key from housekeeping that's hardly
00:55:10impossible and gotten into our rooms yesterday evening to spike the drinks oh
00:55:21janey ray and i are ready to talk to you oh yes of course i'm making headway and some anything you
00:55:27can share nothing i can share of course i'm glad you all are doing this and not chasing people through
00:55:33the jungle janey thinks her drink might have been spiked too the aperitif yes we're testing the residue
00:55:40from all the glasses janey you back em
00:56:03are you busy just get out of the bath come on in uh i'll just pop to the loo while you get dressed
00:56:33and i'll just pop to the loo while you get dressed i'm coming
00:57:04so what's up i was wondering if i could show you my favorite place on the island to look at the
00:57:09night sky yeah sounds great
00:57:15so how did mrs trask communicate with you prior to this weekend all via email which made it much
00:57:22easier to appear incognito as loretta mabry archaeologist from california
00:57:29do you like the accent impressive janey in any of those communications did ainsley ask for an employee
00:57:36list yes in fact she did are you thinking that's how she got to simmons yeah she just said she had
00:57:46security concerns and that she was paying vip prices so i gave her the list but as i said to her
00:57:53none of our employees have a criminal record that is true but we learned from bennett that simmons's
00:57:58sister is a single mother battling cancer he started an online fundraising campaign for her about a month ago
00:58:05so that might be his motive for selling secrets to ainsley i believe it is
00:58:13well suddenly i'm feeling terribly for simmons
00:58:15wow lovely it is lovely hard to believe this is where i found the corpse of mystery island's founder
00:58:31gosh i mean that must have been awful not my first time seeing a corpse right of course well today was my first day
00:58:39identifying her body
00:58:45why'd you bring me up here emmy
00:58:48emmy
00:58:51you know nobody's called me that since since you broke up our engagement
00:58:57are you trying to dodge the question i brought you up here to what i thought you think was a decidedly
00:59:03romantic locale but is in fact for me something quite the opposite
00:59:10okay so this is an object lesson in how incompatible we are
00:59:16i said i didn't want you to come to mystery island but a part of me did want to see you again because i
00:59:23wanted closure and i wish you could admit that you need that too because you are not in love with me
00:59:27did you forget what i told you on the beach no and i'd like to know why that happened but here's the thing
00:59:35if you're so in love with me why wait for your wife to bring you to my place of work and then make your move
00:59:44yeah it's a good question isn't it i have a reply
00:59:49i believe you wanted ainsley to see you with me i think you told her you were going for a walk on the
00:59:55beach i think it might have been ainsley who was no longer in love with you who no longer adored you
01:00:07i've been thinking a lot about our relationship about why it remained transatlantic for so long
01:00:13our jobs no that's the surface answer the deeper one is absence makes the heart grow fonder so you're
01:00:25speaking in cliches now there are any cliches because they're true i think you liked the distance
01:00:32because it allowed me to keep adoring you and you want to be adored franklin
01:00:37okay emmy so tell me then
01:00:46did i kill ainsley i mean that's the deeper reason why you brought me up here isn't it
01:00:53to press my buttons see how i respond see if i fit into your psychological profile for my wife's killer
01:01:01did you kill ainsley i loved ainsley
01:01:13and i believe
01:01:17i'm still in love with you
01:01:24you're right i absolutely love to be adored
01:01:31but i did not kill my wife
01:01:35do you believe me
01:01:47help me mr trask stop that spencer buddy enough okay okay i'm good is he all right i think not he
01:01:55needs to go to the infirmary what are you doing what am i doing this guy killed your wife we don't
01:02:00know that yeah well you also didn't know what i know the rats always go back to their holes
01:02:05me and patricia waited for him he was trying to sneak back in is that true of course it is
01:02:10spencer doesn't lie he grabbed him and told him to go confess to you for killing ainsley he said he
01:02:15didn't kill ainsley i was like then why'd you go on the run and then he actually tried to headbutt spencer
01:02:20we have security cameras in the dorm hallway we know simmons was in his room from midnight to two
01:02:25oh he could have snuck back in that window he's got a point he does but spencer not only are you a
01:02:30suspect you were under arrest for assault are you joking trisha i'm investigating a homicide and your
01:02:36husband is interfering with that investigation do i need to put these on you or you're coming
01:02:41peacefully with me back to the jail yeah no need man come on i think jason needs our help we need to
01:02:55show him mickey's book well be prepared to face this wrath when we tell him how we got it that i can
01:03:02handle we need to solve this case before somebody else winds up dead hey how's he doing stable but
01:03:25not talking yet what's up can we talk of course i spoke with franklin earlier i wanted to see if i
01:03:34could get him to tell me the truth about ainsley or about you both and about himself how'd he do
01:03:40well with most people they tell that they're lying is a gesture of obfuscation yeah playing with their
01:03:45hair fidgeting exactly but with franklin the tell that he's lying is he doesn't seem to be obfuscating
01:03:52at all he just looks at you with the most penetrating gaze so he's a sociopath i don't think so
01:03:58no just a man of profound conviction and he did this penetrating gaze thing when he was telling you
01:04:03what that he was in love with ainsley and with me so you think franklin's always had one true love
01:04:11himself but i don't think he killed ainsley who do you think did well janey thinks mickey's a strong
01:04:17candidate the knife he gave to forensics how do you know about that uh we saw him in the jungle
01:04:26meeting with vivica amelia we kept a safe distance but they were arguing about something what well it
01:04:32was hard to hear because we were keeping a safe distance but he did shout i'm owed and then he
01:04:37showed her this knife which concerned me so i followed him to the hut and i saw him turn it in
01:04:40there's no blood on it but we're having to check for dna in prints okay well he's also been reading
01:04:46this how did you come about this does that matter for a chain of custody in a trial it certainly does
01:04:52well we can discuss that later but you see all the notations well he's a school teacher maybe it's
01:04:58his first class he teaches biology not creative writing and look at this passage cut their carotid
01:05:04artery as easy as slicing a lemon yeah oh also there's a prescription for ainsley for tamazapan
01:05:12the sleeping medication in franklin's bathroom well how do you well i was using his bathroom and i
01:05:18searched his toiletries it was definitely ainsley's definitely i'm thinking of our aperitifs yeah me too
01:05:24we'll know for a fact in the morning
01:05:25what even when we're not working together you deliver well i do have janie she might be a bit
01:05:36of an investigative upgrade trying to make me jealous is it working really well
01:05:40um did you just call me m i did janie calls you that all the time is it a problem quite the contrary
01:05:59good yeah so what is it oh uh ray got back to me with the toxicology reports janie you and i all had
01:06:08our aperitif spiked which means you are no longer a suspect and frank is your prime suspect i'll go
01:06:14fetch him meet me in the dining room no one's in there right now have you had a breakthrough of
01:06:21sorts well what's that mean have a seat i'm fine standing sit down are you dr priestley's consulting on
01:06:33the case okay then so what's this about these sleeping pills prescribed your wife were not found
01:06:43with her things in her room they were found in your dop kit in your room you were spying on me franklin
01:06:48i want to catch your wife's killer and you think it's me why were these in your room what does it
01:06:52matter ainsley didn't die from an overdose of sleeping pills it's interesting that you're not answering my
01:06:58question what do those pills have to do with their murder answer the question franklin actually i
01:07:04don't think i will i think i'm going back to my room i want your outside landline so i can call
01:07:09my lawyer and a pilot to my plane franklin you've been manipulating me since i got here that's
01:07:15projection this is not the behavior of an innocent man it's the behavior of an annoyed man
01:07:22now i'm going to talk to vivica and we're going to hire the best private detectives in new york
01:07:26to come down here and do your job for you i'll be here tomorrow along with my lawyers who will have
01:07:31my brother released i am done cooperating i don't know i better call ray and let him know what happened
01:07:41i doubt the others will talk to us now either mickey might we just have to get him alone now and do
01:07:47what employ a psychological technique to get him to tell us about what he's owed what is this psychological
01:07:52technique it's called bluffing has something happened why franklin just charged into the game room
01:08:06grabbed vivica and left the investigation may have taken a turn is mickey with them yeah he's still in
01:08:11there with patricia i don't feel like being accosted about spencer could you grab him for us bennett
01:08:16that's right away so how do we bluff i had a thought would you like to share it before he
01:08:23mickey um would you like to take a stroll with us um let's go this way so i'm supporting detective
01:08:33trent in his investigation now oh that's good yes it is um and i just wanted to tell you that i'm
01:08:39sympathetic to what you're going through thank you not just for the loss of ainsley but also for
01:08:45vivica betraying your trust she told you and she seemed quite upset because according to her it was
01:08:53all your idea that that's a lie vivica approached me well you know she thinks you believe she owes you
01:09:03because she does okay maybe to her to all these people it's not a lot of money but to me it is
01:09:09she said 10 10 no it's 25 grand and i can prove that we have a contract did you remind her of that
01:09:16contract she said it's not valid because i didn't get ainsley to fall in love with me
01:09:24right you know vivica didn't actually tell us why she wanted ainsley to fall in love with you
01:09:29because vivica's in love with franklin you can't make me go we cannot go let me go calm down what
01:09:39is happening these heartless monsters want to go back to new york and leave spencer in your jail we're
01:09:44sending lawyers down you think you can buy your way out of anything stop we may not be pressing
01:09:49charges when i left simmons he was stable bennett how is he now he's much better he's managed a few
01:09:54words but the nurse says he needs to rest a bit more it's good news when can i see him i'd say in an
01:09:58hour i'll have a conversation with him which would quite possibly result in spencer being released
01:10:03franklin we have to stay you have one hour
01:10:12jason and i were hoping to talk to you about your contract with mickey
01:10:18you told him about our contract
01:10:22you told them about our contract oh mickey
01:10:25yes let's chat
01:10:35yes the contract was for mickey to get ainsley to fall in love with him
01:10:43he got 25 000 on signing and would receive the second half when ainsley left franklin
01:10:48yesterday you told me you and ainsley were friends we are we're that's how i knew about mickey and you
01:10:58didn't think to tell me about this contract it has no relevance to ainsley's murder that is for me to
01:11:03decide
01:11:06it's obviously it's quite embarrassing you really did all this because you're in love with franklin
01:11:14mickey told you everything
01:11:17it's quite ironic i'm speaking to you about this who threw away the most wonderful man in the world
01:11:22and still he travels thousands of miles just to see you again
01:11:27i've seen the way you two look at each other don't tell me you don't know what it's like to be
01:11:32attracted to a world colleague and then amelia imagine detective trent here he
01:11:38he gets married to someone you think is impressive and likable but she's not you is she
01:11:45and then imagine you find a way to just change things murder would also be a way to do that
01:11:55of course it would but then why would i bother to sign a contract with mickey
01:12:01and anyway i didn't need mickey to get ainsley to leave franklin
01:12:08i needed you
01:12:09you
01:12:11now if that is all i have some calls to make on the landline regarding private detectives
01:12:16we're hiring of course
01:12:27hard to argue that if she wanted ainsley to leave franklin she had no motive for murder janey and
01:12:32i both noticed her being quite touchy-feely with him yeah it tracks but i don't know these people are
01:12:37twisted yeah that's clever what she did trying to turn it around on us very clever and she's not
01:12:46wrong if you got engaged again i might try to end it doctor's given the all clear you can see simmons now
01:12:55hey
01:13:05i was just telling simmons that we know what he did for his sister hold on janey
01:13:11simmons you need to tell us what you did
01:13:14i gave ainsley to ask the answer to the game you guys wrote
01:13:18in exchange for a hundred grand to pay his sister's medical bills which simmons you really should
01:13:25have come to us about that i appreciate that but jason i swear i had nothing to do with her murder
01:13:32when's the last time you were with ainsley
01:13:35before dinner friday she gave me the money and the pills pills
01:13:41did ainsley have you drug the aperitifs in our three rooms i put the pills in everyone's drinks
01:13:51well everyone except ainsley and someone else
01:13:56we're closing game on an hour i'm aware of that mr trask they're just tying up some loose ends
01:14:13all right then we'll be leaving in two minutes and we'll be heading down to the dock without
01:14:17spencer patricia we agreed an hour and spencer has no one else to blame but himself patricia
01:14:24penta hey honey oh did you miss me yeah hey great news they've decided not to press charges terrific
01:14:34we're going now hey frankie hold up simmons look i uh
01:14:46i'm real sorry for losing my temper i guess we both made mistakes
01:14:49it takes a big man to admit that tough one too i gotta tell you i hurt my hand there you're made of
01:14:55steel i appreciate that that's very gracious simmons i'm glad you're okay now we are leaving
01:15:02don't go franklin not until we've told you who the murderer is
01:15:14is this some stall tactic not at all and i promise if you stay you'll get your money's worth yeah
01:15:28because that's what this whole weekend has been about after all not love money franklin this really
01:15:35isn't worth your time we need to hang on emmy what do you mean this weekend's been about money
01:15:41janey right well as you know ainsley reached out to me with a plan for you all to come down here
01:15:48now the one requirement was that amelia be on site and included so it seemed obvious that ainsley
01:15:54wanted you franklin to be reconnected with your former love to ensure that you weren't still holding
01:15:59a flame for her and when ainsley won the game by cheating this seemed it was to prove to you that
01:16:05she your current love was better than me we thought maybe a flame had been rekindled between ainsley
01:16:10and her high school sweetheart mickey but then we learned that mickey had been hired by vivica to
01:16:15woo ainsley away from you because according to vivica she's in love with you whoa excuse me
01:16:25viv is this not how i wanted you to learn it franklin so it's true mickey yeah it's true
01:16:33franklin i'd really rather prefer to discuss this on the flight home we'll get there believe me
01:16:44continue please
01:16:48love is obviously one of the biggest motives for murder but when we questioned vivica she
01:16:52ably disproved that she could have killed ainsley i'm glad you agree
01:16:56and you were so close she gave you that complimentary nickname money and money is the other top motive
01:17:03for murder so what if that was the motive for ainsley's murder not the fifty thousand dollars
01:17:08that vivica was paying mickey or the one hundred thousand dollars ainsley paid simon i mean to most
01:17:12of you those numbers are just rounding errors but to commit murder there needed to be a much bigger prize
01:17:18ian yeah like trask global my company do you remember what ainsley said about our fictitious gold
01:17:28smuggler if you're going to rob someone don't do it a bit at a time don't you agree money
01:17:37ainsley was right the character i was playing would have been smart to find a way to take
01:17:41all the money in one fell swoop which is what would have happened if someone had forced franklin
01:17:46out of his own company and taken control of trust global for over a billion dollars hey whoa frankie
01:17:52i swear i did not try to do that even if spencer had been angling to take over franklin's company
01:17:56months ago uh-uh spencer wasn't we know he didn't kill ainsley he was fast asleep where were you between
01:18:03midnight and 2am passed out me and patricia vote in fact many people had a hard time staying awake that
01:18:11night including jason janey and myself because they were drugged with temazepam toxicology confirmed
01:18:17it naturally we thought the killer drugged us to keep us out of the way so the murder could be
01:18:22committed but in a quite a stunning twist it wasn't the killer who drugged us it was the murder victim
01:18:26which the killer wouldn't have known of course and simmons clarified the danesley didn't just pay
01:18:31him to give away the plot of the game she paid him to drug all the drinks in our room all of them
01:18:35but one persons vivica are you serious yeah they're serious ainsley had me drug all the drinks except
01:18:50for hers and yours well i don't see how this matters it matters because it means that ainsley was planning
01:18:57on meeting with you after midnight when bennett simmons and the rest of the stuff were in their
01:19:01rooms and when all the guests were sleeping a deep deep sleep i was sleeping too simmons has no motive
01:19:07for lying while we were at dinner he drugged everyone's apartheid then put the temazepam
01:19:12back into franklin and ainsley's room before their fight and before ainsley moved rooms but he
01:19:16mistakenly put the pill bottle back in franklin's dobkin ainsley had simmons do this because she
01:19:23wanted complete privacy when she presented you with a contract that would pay her what we can only
01:19:27imagine a very large sum of money for her vote you weren't in love with franklin you wanted to
01:19:34take over his company and you spent months wooing board members away from franklin and then you got
01:19:41rid of spencer and pin that on ainsley this is an absurd fantasy but it isn't though don't you remember
01:19:47my second cousin is on your board piper plunkett she just told me all this on the phone before i
01:19:52walked in here you needed one more vote to force franklin out you tried to hire mickey to get leverage
01:19:57over ainsley but that failed ainsley didn't love mickey ainsley didn't love franklin either ainsley
01:20:03loved money and once you understood that you knew what to do but then something must have happened
01:20:09did ainsley change the deal at the last minute did she want more money than money was willing to pay
01:20:15and if money didn't pay ainsley would simply tell franklin what money had been up to ainsley out
01:20:19negotiated money that's what ainsley was trying to write it's not an s it's the beginnings of a dollar
01:20:25sign ainsley was trying to tell us that her killer was money this is more fantastical than one of
01:20:30your mystery game plot a brilliant woman like ainsley would have taken payment with a cashier's check
01:20:35for maximum secrecy and like a wire transfer cashier checks leave no digital trace give me the check
01:20:43give me the check
01:20:55give me the check
01:21:0610 million dollars made out to ainsley trask oh and endorsed back to you with what i can only expect is
01:21:14ainsley's forged signature viveka bentley you are under arrest for the murder of ainsley trask
01:21:25that's all right
01:21:28let's go
01:21:38listen please accept my apology for my behavior you got as twisted as we did with vivica's lies
01:21:45thanks for that and for all you did just doing our job
01:21:48doing our job. I hope it's not another seven years until I see you again. Our paths may cross at
01:21:54Vivica's trial. Take care of yourself, Emmy. Well, I realize the three of you have been through this
01:22:08before, but an actual murder in the midst of fictitious ones. If you need a couple of days
01:22:14to recover, Bennet? Oh, no. Quite the contrary. I am extremely proud to be in the company of three such
01:22:22brilliant investigative minds. Thank you. Why don't we all have a bottle of champagne?

01:22:35Oh, all right. Bennett, shall we? Oh, Baroness, after you.

01:22:48impressed you made it through without smacking him. Oh, I was tempted. I'm sure you were too.

01:23:05it. Did you want to say why? You're the psychiatrist. I'm sure you'll figure it out.
