00:00:00You
00:00:30Yes, because the victim is Ainsley Trask.
00:00:46Ainsley Trask?
00:00:47You're saying she's coming to Mystery Island?
00:00:49That's what I'm saying.
00:00:50It was Ainsley Trask.
00:00:51Would she be coming alone or?
00:00:52With her husband.
00:00:54Janie, you cannot be serious.
00:00:56Em, hear me out.
00:00:57Did Ainsley Trask contact you?
00:00:59Time out.
00:01:00Who is Ainsley Trask?
00:01:01Ainsley Trask is the wife of Franklin Trask,
00:01:07who wants to bring several guests to the island for VIP package.
00:01:14Must have a few bucks.
00:01:16Yeah, he's quite well off, yeah.
00:01:18Hang on, is he the guy that...
00:01:20That I was once engaged to marry?
00:01:22Yes, he most certainly is.
00:01:26He runs Trask Global Management,
00:01:28a huge fund that rivals Carlos in valuation.
00:01:31And Ainsley Trask is a powerhouse corporate attorney
00:01:34who also sits on the board of Trask Global.
00:01:36And they...
00:01:38They just got married last year.
00:01:40And she told me that she's quite keen to come to Mystery Island.
00:01:44Did she offer to play the victim in the murder game?
00:01:46Oh no, that was my idea.
00:01:47As was asking Em to be the killer.
00:01:49Which is perhaps a little on the nose.
00:01:51You think I'd want to kill Franklin's wife?
00:01:54It was my idea to end the engagement.
00:01:56And you haven't been in a long-term relationship since...
00:02:04Jamie, I respectfully request that my personal life
00:02:08not be considered as fodder for our mystery games.
00:02:10I was just brainstorming.
00:02:12Besides that, I certainly won't be here when the Trask party attends.
00:02:17Ah.
00:02:19Well Ainsley has made your participation a condition to her package.
00:02:25You're joking.
00:02:26Is this my joking face?
00:02:27Why would she...
00:02:28Insecurity.
00:02:29She might worry that Franklin still carries a torch for you,
00:02:33so she's coming down here in the hopes of extinguishing that torch.
00:02:39Well, she is certainly playing with fire.
00:02:45I'm simply extending Jason's metaphor.
00:02:48Anyway, if you decide to go forward with this proposal,
00:02:54I will plan to be here that weekend as well.
00:02:57Oh, you don't need to.
00:02:58I know.
00:02:59I want to.
00:03:03At any rate, Janie, we have more murder games to write if you don't mind.
00:03:06Yes.
00:03:07My office is yours.
00:03:27Jason said you might be out here.
00:03:33You went back to his houseboat?
00:03:35He did.
00:03:36He said you seem to need some time and space to think.
00:03:39Ah.
00:03:40Neither of which you're giving me.
00:03:42I'm a terrible friend, aren't I?
00:03:43The worst.
00:03:44But I have bought scotch.
00:03:46You 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.
00:03:59Oh.
00:04:00And I think you're rubbing off on him.
00:04:03Who?
00:04:04Well, Jason, I don't recall him thinking so much about psychology when our paths first crossed.
00:04:11Yeah, I suppose that's true.
00:04:13And I think it's rather chivalrous of him to want to come out here when Franklin comes to Mystery Island.
00:04:20If Franklin comes, you mean?
00:04:22Well, do I?
00:04:23I 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.
00:04:30There are no embers, Janie. Trust me.
00:04:32Well, oh good. Then you'll have no problem supporting this venture.
00:04:36I see what you did there.
00:04:38What?
00:04:39Well played.
00:04:43Okay, fine. Tell Mrs. Trust they can come.
00:04:47Shall do.
00:04:48To, er, torches being extinguished.
00:05:13Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. We have an exciting weekend ahead, starting with full VIP conditions for the party of Franklin Trask.
00:05:26Additionally, disguised as a guest and amongst his party will be our COO, Baroness Jane Alcott.
00:05:34Thank you, Bennett.
00:05:35Well, I'm excited about this weekend for a plethora of reasons, but chief among them is that our brilliant game writers, Dr. Priestley and Detective Trent, will also be here.
00:05:45Which hasn't happened for a while.
00:05:47The game will begin at the Hidden Hut.
00:05:50And this weekend, Amelia will be playing as herself.
00:05:55But Jason and I will be taking on fictitious roles in the narrative.
00:05:58And I will be disguised as Franklin Trask did meet me several years ago.
00:06:02And I will be playing the role of Professor Loretta Mabry, an archaeologist from California.
00:06:14And 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.
00:06:55And 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.
00:07:11For 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.
00:07:20And allow me to introduce our new new house manager, or Major Domo, and Simmons, her assistant.
00:07:26Oh, please, call me Bennett.
00:07:28Now, before we repair to the veranda for cocktails, if you could all kindly place your mobile phones into this black box Simmons has.
00:07:35Hang on. I promised my followers hourly updates.
00:07:38Aw, 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.
00:07:48You're so smart.
00:07:51Thank you, help me.
00:07:57Amelia.
00:07:59At last.
00:08:03It's lovely to meet you.
00:08:05That's something I hear often.
00:08:08Oh, she is more beautiful than you led me to believe, Frankie.
00:08:12Ooh.
00:08:14And no band on that fourth finger.
00:08:17I cannot believe you're still single.
00:08:19I see you're already playing detective, Mrs. Trask.
00:08:22I am all in.
00:08:23I even offered to bet Frankie I could solve the mystery first, didn't I, my love?
00:08:27You didn't take the bet.
00:08:29But I did.
00:08:30You're ready to pay our pains.
00:08:32If both of you wouldn't mind handing in your phones, we may proceed.
00:08:35Well, Spencer.
00:08:36It's, uh, good to see you, Emmy.
00:09:07Yeah, just move that piece.
00:09:10That's fine.
00:09:11Ladies and gentlemen.
00:09:12We hope you're all enjoying your first looks at Mystery Island.
00:09:15Your luggage has been taken care of.
00:09:17Bennett has your keys and you'll be shown to your rooms.
00:09:19Once you are all there, you will find the first clue that will begin the game.
00:09:23Can you tell us where the body is?
00:09:25That's all part of the mystery, Miss Colacello.
00:09:27But I can assure you, among the people assembled here, there 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?
00:09:51How do I look?
00:09:52Understandably addled at being face to face with a man you almost married, his abrasive
00:09:55new wife.
00:09:56You think she's abrasive?
00:09:57She makes sandpaper look like silk.
00:09:59Franklin, from one extreme to the other.
00:10:01Are you suggesting I'm not abrasive?
00:10:03Or obnoxious?
00:10:04Or entitled?
00:10:05Or any of Ains's other in-your-face qualities?
00:10:07Listen, I should tell- I told Vivica I forgot my key.
00:10:10She's already decided to be my partner in crime solving and she keeps pumping me with
00:10:14questions about archaeology and I'm just inventing answers.
00:10:16Jamie, 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'm going to say, that's my business.
00:10:25Oh, that's good.
00:10:26Oh, and I must say, Franklin does seem quite into his wife.
00:10:31Well, he did manage to slip me this.
00:10:34What is it?
00:10:35I have to see you alone.
00:10:38Tell 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.
00:10:46Oh, he's overcompensating.
00:10:47Clearly.
00:10:48When are you going to meet him?
00:10:49I'm not sure that I am.
00:10:50Well, just to find out.
00:10:51Loretta, did you find your key?
00:10:53Sure did.
00:10:57Mr. Callaghan, you heard what Dr. Priestley said.
00:11:00We all have to unlock our doors to get the game started.
00:11:03Let's do it.
00:11:04You all got here rather quickly.
00:11:18Yeah, the riddle you had us work out wasn't hard.
00:11:21I thought it was.
00:11:22Yeah, you made that clear, Spencer.
00:11:24Once Ainsley pretty brilliantly figured out that each of the boards in our rooms featured a different part of an anagram.
00:11:29I remember having a hand in that deduction, Mickey.
00:11:32Yeah, I guess you helped a little.
00:11:34These detective kits are so adorbs.
00:11:37Do we get to keep them?
00:11:38Yep.
00:11:39Yay!
00:11:40Okay, 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.
00:11:50His name was Ricardo Rincon.
00:11:53The Murtaghs only realized he was missing when the police came to the island looking for him.
00:11:57Ricardo had been identified as part of a gold smuggling operation.
00:12:00Did you live in the hut?
00:12:01Yes, you did.
00:12:02Ah, you keeping up, Ains?
00:12:04Of course, the police searched his lodgings, but they found no gold.
00:12:08Might you have better luck?
00:12:09Oh, you better believe we will.
00:12:11I believe we will.
00:12:12Some bars we can go through.
00:12:13Yeah.
00:12:14Go for it.
00:12:15Yeah.
00:12:16Go for it.
00:12:17Looks like this is a big floor.
00:12:18Let's try it.
00:12:19Looks like this is a big floor.
00:12:20Let's try it.
00:12:21Let's try it.
00:12:22Let's try it.
00:12:23Let's try it.
00:12:24Let's try it.
00:12:25Let's try it.
00:12:29Found something.
00:12:30That was fast.
00:12:31Hey guys, over here.
00:12:36Hey guys, over here.
00:12:37Hey.
00:12:38Hey guys, over here.
00:12:44Hey.
00:12:45Hey.
00:12:46Hey.
00:12:47Whoa.
00:12:57Whoa.
00:13:02Whoa.
00:13:03Whoa.
00:13:04Whoa.
00:13:15Thoughts, Mickey?
00:13:18Mick teaches biology.
00:13:21Well, it's a human...
00:13:23Obviously, it's human, Mick.
00:13:26Yes, Spencer, if you let me finish.
00:13:28Human male.
00:13:29Well, judging by the degree of desiccation,
00:13:34I'd say he's been here for at least ten years.
00:13:36Oh, so this definitely could be Ricardo Rincon.
00:13:40Yes.
00:13:41Do you know if Rincon was missing his three left fingers?
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,
00:13:52and he was being interrogated right here.
00:13:55What do you think to that possibility, Sean?
00:13:57Why are you asking me?
00:13:58Well, you just seem like the kind of businessman
00:14:02who's been involved in some tough discussions.
00:14:06There 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.
00:14:17There might be dry blood on it.
00:14:19Loretta, look at this.
00:14:22How old would you say this is?
00:14:23Well, it isn't an artifact.
00:14:28Right?
00:14:30The double letter R on the hilt.
00:14:33So possibly Ricardo stabbed this man here.
00:14:37Or Ricardo was killed with his own knife.
00:14:39Look at this map.
00:14:41It's written some sort of code.
00:14:43Franklin is brilliant with code.
00:14:45Hey, check it out.
00:14:48Some kind of journal.
00:14:49Like a diary.
00:14:51Nah, it's more like a log.
00:14:53It's in code, too.
00:14:54Well, maybe Franklin can help with that.
00:14:56He's brilliant with code.
00:14:57I'm brilliant at most things, Ains.
00:14:59I know you are, honey.
00:15:01It 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.
00:15:14Man, there's tons of files here.
00:15:16Say we take that and the map back to the house.
00:15:19Get a better lookout.
00:15:26What do you think?
00:15:26The letters are clearly jumbled, but look at the dots.
00:15:31This could be a variant cipher.
00:15:35How did you learn to do this?
00:15:37In college.
00:15:38I was bored.
00:15:40Let's know you to learn code, because you're bored.
00:15:47You had such a swift victory locating the hidden room.
00:15:50Are you generously allowing others a chance at a breakthrough?
00:15:53Once you get to know me, you'll see what an absurd question that is.
00:15:59You said Ricardo Rincon was the sommelier?
00:16:02Mm-hmm.
00:16:03Where's the wine cellar?
00:16:06I'll show you.
00:16:10So, if I get to know you better, why would I realize that was an absurd question to think
00:16:14you might want to support the others?
00:16:16You're the psychiatrist.
00:16:18What do you think?
00:16:19I think you play to win.
00:16:21Always have.
00:16:22You know what?
00:16:25I get what Franklin sees in you.
00:16:28If we'd met under different circumstances, we might be good friends.
00:16:31Do you have many good friends?
00:16:34It's not been a forte of mine.
00:16:38I have Mickey, who clearly adores you.
00:16:41But then it is easy to be friends with people from your past who live a thousand miles away.
00:16:45You know what?
00:16:48Franklin, warn me you didn't pull your punches.
00:16:52Yeah, I should tell you that the police did search this cellar when Ricardo disappeared,
00:16:56and that was years ago.
00:16:56Well, looks like they clearly missed this switch in here.
00:17:05Well, lookie there.
00:17:10Our boy Ricardo sure liked his hidden rooms.
00:17:13Shall we?
00:17:22Bingo.
00:17:22We wandled that well, Ainsley.
00:17:24Impressive.
00:17:37I'm not dumb.
00:17:40See these dust patterns on the floor?
00:17:42Some bigger, some not.
00:17:44Someone's been moving the gold out a bit at a time.
00:17:48Are you suggesting a staff member?
00:17:54I don't know.
00:18:02A 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
00:18:11must have finally gotten the gold's location out of him.
00:18:14That bar comes from a crate in a secret room off the wine cellar.
00:18:19But, based on dust patterns on the floor,
00:18:22there had to be more than one crate down there at a time.
00:18:25Someone's been moving the gold out gradually.
00:18:27That's what I thought, Frankie.
00:18:29Is she a genius or what?
00:18:33Ready to pay off on our bets, Spencer?
00:18:35Hey, 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,
00:18:46they would have been able to take the gold all at once.
00:18:49I think our culprit is more likely a person
00:18:52who's come down here several times in the last 12 years.
00:18:56Who would have brought an empty suitcase here
00:18:58and taken it back, loaded with stolen gold.
00:19:02Sean, how many times have you been to Mystery Island?
00:19:05About a handful.
00:19:06You 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,
00:19:24I don't know, an empty suitcase
00:19:26fortified for extra weight?
00:19:33Go for it.
00:19:34Okay, if we track this code to here,
00:19:50and then, Patricia, what have you got?
00:19:53Well, it doesn't look like Morse code.
00:19:54It's the Fibonacci sequence.
00:19:55Oh.
00:19:58Has anyone ever solved a game this quickly?
00:20:01Never on the first day, only once on the second.
00:20:03This is uncanny.
00:20:06Mrs. Trask is quite, well, she's quite something.
00:20:09Yeah.
00:20:09We worked so hard on the Red Hurries,
00:20:12getting the coding just right.
00:20:22What's the combination, Sean?
00:20:266-1-7.
00:20:28Lost an area code, of course.
00:20:29Well, it wasn't completely empty.
00:20:37Sean is the smuggler,
00:20:38and likely the killer of Ricardo Rincon.
00:20:44Case closed.
00:20:46Well done, Ames.
00:20:47Loretta, are you involved?
00:20:58That's not Loretta.
00:20:59That's Amelia's best friend,
00:21:01Janie Alcott.
00:21:02The COO of Mystery Island.
00:21:04Indeed.
00:21:06Well, it's lovely to meet you all
00:21:07as my, uh, as my true self.
00:21:09And a hearty congratulations to Mrs. Trask
00:21:12for correctly solving the mystery.
00:21:14Impressive, Ayns.
00:21:15The quickest solve yet, I'd say.
00:21:19She is special.
00:21:20Did she get a special prize?
00:21:22Yes, all game winners get a special prize, yes.
00:21:25But allow me to introduce you to Jason Trent,
00:21:29who, along with Amelia,
00:21:31make up our game writing team
00:21:32and took on the role of Sean.
00:21:36It's nice to meet everybody.
00:21:37A clever narrative, you two.
00:21:40We thought so.
00:21:42Why don't we all meet on the veranda
00:21:44for a celebratory drink.
00:21:45Sounds good.
00:21:46Yes?
00:21:58And you were all getting caught up
00:22:00in maps and codes,
00:22:01and I just thought,
00:22:03well, you all know the expression
00:22:04follow the money.
00:22:06I'm not talking about you money.
00:22:08Huh.
00:22:09Forgive me, I don't follow.
00:22:10Aynsley's nickname for me is money
00:22:13because it's what I look after for Franklin.
00:22:16Anyway, Sean's big mistake
00:22:20was not figuring out a way all those years ago
00:22:22how to take the gold in one fell swoop.
00:22:25I mean, if you're going to rob somebody,
00:22:27don't do it a little bit at a time.
00:22:29Don't you agree, money?
00:22:30Too true, Aynsley.
00:22:33Anyway, Janie, about that partial refund.
00:22:35Aynsley, come on, please.
00:22:37There's still plenty to do
00:22:39on this gorgeous island this weekend.
00:22:42In fact, Janie, I'm so glad you're here.
00:22:44Now that the game is finished,
00:22:45I'd love to chat to you
00:22:46about a potential investment
00:22:47in this enterprise.
00:22:49What, from you?
00:22:50From Trash Global.
00:22:52I believe you know
00:22:53one of my board members,
00:22:55Piper Plunkett?
00:22:56Piper, yes.
00:22:57She's my second cousin
00:22:58on my mother's side.
00:23:00Well, how lovely.
00:23:02Gosh, I haven't seen her
00:23:03since her father's third wedding.
00:23:04Ladies and gentlemen,
00:23:07dinner will be served
00:23:07in the dining room in one hour.
00:23:10A gentle reminder
00:23:10that we require all guests
00:23:12to be in formal wear
00:23:13for this evening's meal.
00:23:15Come on, babe.
00:23:16Let's go get ready.
00:23:23Well, that was quite unexpected.
00:23:25Aynsley solving the game
00:23:26in record time?
00:23:27No, no.
00:23:27Piper, my second cousin,
00:23:29being on Franklin's board.
00:23:31And yes, Aynsley as well.
00:23:34Janie, I want to caution you
00:23:36in the strongest language possible
00:23:37not to entertain the idea
00:23:39of bringing these people
00:23:40into the company.
00:23:41I mean, it isn't these people.
00:23:43It's a billion-dollar hedge fund.
00:23:45And I know it's managed by Franklin.
00:23:48Franklin isn't my problem.
00:23:49It's his wife.
00:23:51Yeah, I realise she can be brusque.
00:23:53I don't care about that.
00:23:54I care about how she managed
00:23:56to solve our mystery so quickly.
00:23:57And I intend to find out.
00:24:07She's furious.
00:24:09Yes, well spotted, Jason.
00:24:18Ladies and gentlemen,
00:24:19please be seated.
00:24:50What 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
00:25:01to know where I was going.
00:25:03Right.
00:25:05Sorry for being startled.
00:25:07Sorry for startling you.
00:25:10And thanks for the meet.
00:25:13Well, you can thank Aynsley for that.
00:25:14I don't follow.
00:25:18Is she a big mystery fan?
00:25:20Constantly reading whodunit?
00:25:23No, not at all.
00:25:26But, Emi, I didn't come here
00:25:27to talk about Aynsley.
00:25:28I came here because
00:25:30I made a huge mistake.
00:25:33Franklin, if this is about us...
00:25:34Of course it's about us, Emi.
00:25:37Look, I, um...
00:25:40I think I married Aynsley because
00:25:41I wanted to prove to myself
00:25:43that I still wasn't in love with you.
00:25:45But the joke's on me.
00:25:49Because...
00:25:50Guess what?
00:25:55I'm still in love with you.
00:25:57I knew it.
00:26:02I wish I could say I was surprised.
00:26:07Aynsley, hang on.
00:26:08Are you okay?
00:26:13Not really.
00:26:15But we should follow them.
00:26:17You're being unreasonable!
00:26:19Don't gaslight me, Franklin.
00:26:20I know what I heard.
00:26:21What did you hear?
00:26:23My husband professing his love
00:26:25for his ex.
00:26:28I arranged this whole vacation
00:26:29to test him.
00:26:31And you failed.
00:26:32You're a cheat.
00:26:34And you...
00:26:35Well, you were just ready
00:26:36to 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
00:26:42your own behavior.
00:26:43Well, what's that supposed to mean?
00:26:44You don't like whodunits,
00:26:46yet you solved our game
00:26:47in record time.
00:26:47It's called being smart.
00:26:49Which I thought you were.
00:26:51Aynsley, please.
00:26:52Don't do this.
00:26:53I'm doing what needs
00:26:54to be done, money.
00:26:55I would like my own room
00:26:56tonight, please.
00:26:57And I'll be leaving
00:26:58tomorrow morning.
00:26:59When I get back to New York,
00:27:00I'll be filing for divorce.
00:27:01And I will bleed you dry.
00:27:08Thanks, buddy.
00:27:24I should go check on Ayns.
00:27:26I'm sure she'll be back
00:27:27to her usual self by tomorrow.
00:27:28Oh, chap, I hate to break it to you.
00:27:32This is her real self.
00:27:35You'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.
00:27:42Bennett, is it possible
00:27:51one of your staff
00:27:51shared details
00:27:52of the mystery script
00:27:53with Aynsley?
00:27:54I do hope not.
00:27:56I'll start interviewing
00:27:57them immediately.
00:28:00I'd be shocked
00:28:00if one of the staff
00:28:01sold us out like this.
00:28:03I don't like the idea either,
00:28:04but I am certain
00:28:05Aynsley cheated.
00:28:06We'll see what Bennett finds.
00:28:08In the meantime,
00:28:08I think we should all
00:28:09get some sleep.
00:28:12I don't think
00:28:14I'll ever get used
00:28:15to these shifting signs
00:28:18As time
00:28:19falls through
00:28:21my hands
00:28:23And the ground
00:28:28has given way
00:28:29despite my best laid plans
00:28:32It's all
00:28:34out of
00:28:36my hands
00:28:38Unraveling
00:28:41Sorry to wake you,
00:29:05Emi,
00:29:05but Aynsley's not in her room.
00:29:07I can't find her anywhere.
00:29:08Are you sure she's not
00:29:10already down at the dock
00:29:11waiting for the boat?
00:29:12No, she's not.
00:29:13Her bags are still
00:29:14in the room
00:29:14and I just don't...
00:29:15Franklin,
00:29:16you go for breakfast.
00:29:17We will sort this.
00:29:18Okay.
00:29:19Okay, thank you.
00:29:21Have you told
00:29:22Jenny and Jason?
00:29:23Yes.
00:29:24They're meeting at her room
00:29:24and I've got the staff
00:29:25searching the grounds.
00:29:26Okay.
00:29:27Let me get dressed
00:29:28and I'll meet them there.
00:29:34Toiletry's in the bathroom.
00:29:35And the bed's unmade
00:29:38so clearly she's slept here.
00:29:41Didn't Aynsley have
00:29:42four pieces of luggage?
00:29:47And now there's only three.
00:29:49You're spotted, Em.
00:29:50We've searched every room
00:29:52and communal area
00:29:53in the mansion
00:29:54as well as the nearby grounds.
00:29:56There's no sign of her.
00:29:58We could press on
00:29:59to other parts of the resort.
00:30:00Let's do that.
00:30:01I want to check places
00:30:01we know Aynsley's bed.
00:30:03Start in the hidden hut
00:30:04and the white cellar.
00:30:21Wow.
00:30:22Everything here
00:30:22is as we left it.
00:30:25Should we check the basement?
00:30:25She's dead.
00:30:49She's dead.
00:30:51The carotid artery
00:31:02was cut.
00:31:03Kaila was angry.
00:31:04Borthara.
00:31:06Time of death.
00:31:07All park
00:31:08between 12 and 2.
00:31:10Her hand.
00:31:12Yeah, I saw that.
00:31:14It looks like an S.
00:31:16But to guess,
00:31:17there's Spencer.
00:31:18And the only staff member
00:31:19is Simmons.
00:31:21I'll go and check
00:31:21the security camera
00:31:22and see what his movements were.
00:31:24Ray and I will go tell Franklin.
00:31:33Franklin,
00:31:34when I'm not writing murder games
00:31:35for Mystery Island,
00:31:36I'm a detective on the mainland.
00:31:37This is Ray Romero,
00:31:38the chief of police.
00:31:39I'm grateful to you both.
00:31:41Do you have any leads?
00:31:43I regret to inform you,
00:31:44Mr. Trash,
00:31:45that your wife
00:31:47was murdered last night.
00:31:49Murdered?
00:31:52Are you sure?
00:31:54Quite sure, sir.
00:31:56I don't, um,
00:31:57what happened?
00:31:59That's what we intend
00:32:00to find out.
00:32:02Where was she?
00:32:03The hidden hut.
00:32:04She was killed sometime
00:32:05between midnight and 2 a.m.
00:32:09This is, um...
00:32:10There's a lot to take in,
00:32:11I know.
00:32:12Look, I realize
00:32:13everyone in this room
00:32:15is thinking about
00:32:16what happened
00:32:16between Ainsley and I
00:32:17last night.
00:32:19And I want to be clear.
00:32:20I loved Ainsley.
00:32:23And absolutely
00:32:24would have given her
00:32:24the divorce
00:32:25if that's what
00:32:25she really wanted.
00:32:29And my guests and I
00:32:30will, um,
00:32:30will stay here
00:32:31on this island
00:32:31until the kill
00:32:32has been arrested.
00:32:33We appreciate
00:32:33that cooperation, sir.
00:32:35I need to interview
00:32:38everyone here.
00:32:38Starting with Spencer?
00:32:40You, actually.
00:32:44Everyone,
00:32:44could I have
00:32:44your attention, please?
00:32:46I'm a detective
00:32:46and this is Ray Romero,
00:32:47the chief of police.
00:32:49I regret to inform you
00:32:50that Ainsley's been killed.
00:32:55Oh, no.
00:32:56Okay, Emilia,
00:33:03to explain what we...
00:33:04I expect Jason
00:33:05told you that
00:33:06I was engaged
00:33:07to Franklin
00:33:07nearly seven years ago
00:33:08and Franklin
00:33:09gave me a note
00:33:10upon arriving here
00:33:10insisting we meet
00:33:12in private
00:33:12that he told me
00:33:13last night
00:33:14that he was still
00:33:14in love with me
00:33:15which Ainsley heard
00:33:16as did Jason
00:33:17and this led
00:33:18to the row
00:33:18that the Trasks had,
00:33:19her threats of divorce,
00:33:20et cetera, et cetera.
00:33:21Yes,
00:33:22so you understand.
00:33:23I do.
00:33:23And as Jason
00:33:24also knows,
00:33:25I was adamantly opposed
00:33:26to Franklin
00:33:27and his party
00:33:27coming to this island.
00:33:28It was me
00:33:29who ended our engagement.
00:33:31Why?
00:33:36It was a mistake.
00:33:37I was in love
00:33:38with Franklin at first
00:33:39but I wasn't willing
00:33:41to move to New York
00:33:42and he certainly
00:33:42wasn't going to go to London
00:33:43so we were long distance
00:33:44for nearly a year
00:33:45and then he
00:33:46suddenly proposed
00:33:48promising to relocate
00:33:50his business to London
00:33:51and I accepted.
00:33:55But as the months passed
00:33:56it became clear
00:33:57I was just another deal
00:33:58he needed to close
00:33:59so I ended it.
00:34:01So why did you meet
00:34:03with him in secret
00:34:04down on the beach?
00:34:06Because I believe
00:34:07Ainsley cheated at the game
00:34:08and I had some questions
00:34:10I wanted to ask Franklin
00:34:11to help me prove it.
00:34:12Did you succeed?
00:34:14I learned she's not
00:34:15in the least bit
00:34:16interested in whodunnits.
00:34:17What do you think
00:34:21about this theory?
00:34:23I think Amelia's right.
00:34:27And where were you
00:34:28between midnight
00:34:29and 2am?
00:34:30Asleep.
00:34:32I had an aperitif
00:34:34in my room
00:34:34to take the edge off
00:34:36and it did its job
00:34:37rather thoroughly.
00:34:39Okay.
00:34:40Well
00:34:40thank you Amelia.
00:34:42I hope you understand
00:34:44that we can't
00:34:45at this time
00:34:46include you
00:34:46on this side of the table.
00:34:49Could you ask
00:34:50Franklin to join us?
00:34:51Of course.
00:35:01I had an aperitif
00:35:02last night as well
00:35:03and it did quite
00:35:04a number on me.
00:35:05I passed out
00:35:06in the chair in my room.
00:35:07I don't know why
00:35:08anyone would want
00:35:09to drug us
00:35:09but I need to order
00:35:10a few tox screens.
00:35:13Sure.
00:35:19Franklin
00:35:19the police would like
00:35:21to talk to you
00:35:21in the dining room.
00:35:25Janie.
00:35:28What is it?
00:35:29I think I'm being
00:35:29treated as a suspect.
00:35:31Well yes of course
00:35:32I assume so
00:35:32given them questioning
00:35:33what you do.
00:35:34Jealousy is a powerful
00:35:35motive for murder.
00:35:36I haven't seen Franklin
00:35:37in seven years.
00:35:38And the first day
00:35:38that you do
00:35:39you're exchanging
00:35:39love declarations
00:35:40on the beach.
00:35:41Not exchanging
00:35:42it was him to me.
00:35:43Oh no I'm darling
00:35:43I don't think
00:35:44in a million years
00:35:44you had anything
00:35:45to do with Ainsley's murder.
00:35:46I'm just positing
00:35:47the kind of hypotheticals
00:35:48Jason is.
00:35:49Oh Jason who knows me.
00:35:51Yes and I don't think
00:35:52for a moment
00:35:53that Jason thinks
00:35:53you're the suspect either
00:35:54but he has to do
00:35:56his due diligence
00:35:57as a detective.
00:35:58Wouldn't you agree?
00:35:59Yes of course.
00:36:00I did tell Ray
00:36:02about my suspicions
00:36:03that Ainsley cheated
00:36:04but I'm not sure
00:36:06he's convinced
00:36:06it's connected
00:36:07to her murder
00:36:07and will pursue it.
00:36:11Then we shall.
00:36:13So there are some
00:36:14motives among these guests
00:36:15for perhaps wanting
00:36:16Ainsley dead.
00:36:17Yes.
00:36:18Starting with her husband
00:36:19who hardly convinced me
00:36:20with his stoic speech.
00:36:21Before we go there
00:36:22we should think about
00:36:23how Ainsley cheated.
00:36:24I know after her interviews
00:36:26Bennett said her staff
00:36:27were above reproach
00:36:28but I would kind of
00:36:32like to search their rooms.
00:36:34Well Em, I'm COO.
00:36:35That's corporate property.
00:36:58Jamie.
00:37:01Ainsley's full suitcase.
00:37:12It appears my theory
00:37:13was correct.
00:37:13$50,000.
00:37:27And this is likely
00:37:28just the payout.
00:37:29I bet Ainsley gave
00:37:30the same amount
00:37:30in advance.
00:37:32What are you doing?
00:37:39Get Jason.
00:37:43Jason?
00:37:59Amelia.
00:38:00Amelia, wake up.
00:38:04Hey.
00:38:06Hey.
00:38:08What's going on?
00:38:10Janie came running
00:38:11to tell me
00:38:12that you were chasing
00:38:12Simmons.
00:38:14Right.
00:38:17Whoa, whoa, whoa,
00:38:17lay back.
00:38:21Yeah, I think
00:38:22that might be best.
00:38:23You've got quite a knot
00:38:24on the back of your head.
00:38:26Did you see Simmons?
00:38:28Oh, he must have been
00:38:28waiting for me.
00:38:30Got behind me.
00:38:32We'll find him.
00:38:33We need to get you
00:38:33to the infirmary.
00:38:34I can carry you.
00:38:35Okay.
00:38:37Oh.
00:38:38Hang on.
00:38:39Thank you
00:38:44for being here.
00:38:47Of course.
00:38:49And listen,
00:38:49I'm sorry we had
00:38:50to grill you
00:38:50like that earlier.
00:38:52I'm sorry
00:38:52if I was a bit short
00:38:53with you.
00:38:54More with Ray.
00:38:58Do you really think
00:38:59I murdered
00:39:00the wife of my ex?
00:39:01Do you really think
00:39:02I think you did?
00:39:04No.
00:39:05I know you're
00:39:05just doing your job.
00:39:06Do you have
00:39:10conflicted feelings
00:39:10about Franklin?
00:39:12I do.
00:39:14The feelings
00:39:15in conflict
00:39:15are a great deal
00:39:17of pity,
00:39:18a small amount
00:39:18of nostalgia
00:39:19and confusion
00:39:20at how I ever
00:39:22could have said yes
00:39:22to marrying him.
00:39:24I can think
00:39:24of a few reasons
00:39:25someone would marry
00:39:26the guy,
00:39:26but I don't think
00:39:28you care about
00:39:28those reasons.
00:39:29You know me well.
00:39:30I think I can
00:39:33stand up now.
00:39:34Go slow.
00:39:40Oh, um,
00:39:41the suitcase
00:39:42and money
00:39:42in Simmons' room.
00:39:43Janie and Ray
00:39:44are taking care of that.
00:39:45I was thinking
00:39:45it was the payout.
00:39:46We'll definitely
00:39:47check to see
00:39:47if Simmons
00:39:48opened an offshore
00:39:48account in the last month
00:39:49where Ainsley
00:39:50could have wired
00:39:50the advance,
00:39:51but it looks
00:39:52like you were right.
00:39:53She's so competitive
00:39:54she spent a hundred
00:39:55grand to win a game.
00:39:56I think it's
00:39:56more than competition.
00:39:57I think she wanted
00:39:58to prove to Franklin
00:39:59that she's smarter than me.
00:40:00She knew Franklin
00:40:01was still in love
00:40:02with you.
00:40:03If she spent
00:40:03all that money
00:40:04just to hear him
00:40:04declare that love
00:40:05to you,
00:40:05then maybe she went
00:40:07to Simmons
00:40:07and asked for her
00:40:07money back.
00:40:08And perhaps he refused.
00:40:09She threatened him
00:40:10and he killed her.
00:40:12Are you going to bring
00:40:12more police over
00:40:13to search for him?
00:40:14I think a better
00:40:15use of manpower
00:40:15is to shut down
00:40:16the dock
00:40:16so he can't
00:40:17get off the island.
00:40:18He didn't plan for this.
00:40:20He'll get hungry
00:40:20and thirsty
00:40:21soon enough
00:40:21then surface.
00:40:23Now I don't know
00:40:24why anyone drugged
00:40:24our aperitif.
00:40:26Our aperitifs?
00:40:26Yeah.
00:40:27I had mine last night.
00:40:28Same reaction.
00:40:29I fell asleep
00:40:30way too fast.
00:40:31I have Ray running
00:40:31talk screen.
00:40:33You ready to head back?
00:40:34We'll get a few
00:40:35more suspects
00:40:35to interview.
00:40:36I'm happy to help
00:40:37with that.
00:40:38I'm sure you are
00:40:39but technically
00:40:39you're still a suspect.
00:40:41Of course.
00:40:42So if you and Janie
00:40:42want to continue
00:40:43your investigation?
00:40:45We just might.
00:40:46Just don't chase anyone
00:40:47in the jungle, okay?
00:40:49Look straight ahead.
00:40:53Hello?
00:40:54Hello?
00:40:54Hello?
00:40:54Hello?
00:40:54Hello?
00:40:54Hello?
00:40:54Hello?
00:40:54Hello?
00:40:54Hello?
00:40:58Good news is
00:41:01you're not concussed
00:41:02for the headache
00:41:06and you need to rest.
00:41:08Thank you, Rosie.
00:41:09You're welcome.
00:41:12So, to your room.
00:41:14Oh, I'm not resting.
00:41:16There's a killer among us.
00:41:17But Simmons.
00:41:19I'm not convinced
00:41:20it was him.
00:41:20So, so, Jason and Ray
00:41:25are doing interviews.
00:41:27We should do our own.
00:41:28Aren't we?
00:41:32Look, I watch a lot
00:41:33of true crime.
00:41:34And I know the husband
00:41:35is always suspect
00:41:36numero uno.
00:41:37Okay, but I'm telling you,
00:41:38Franklin isn't a good guy,
00:41:39okay?
00:41:40He's a great guy.
00:41:41Yet, you left his company
00:41:43a month ago.
00:41:44That had nothing to do
00:41:45with Franklin, man.
00:41:46What did I have to do with?
00:41:50Ainsley!
00:41:51She wanted me out,
00:41:52so I got out.
00:41:54Look, before you go
00:41:55thinking that's a motive,
00:41:56I make a ton of money
00:41:57in my endorsements
00:41:57and now I got more time
00:41:58for Patricia,
00:41:59so it's all good.
00:42:00Why would Ainsley
00:42:00want you out?
00:42:01I mean, look,
00:42:03I don't want to speak ill
00:42:03about the dead, okay?
00:42:06But she was
00:42:06a controlling monster.
00:42:09But look,
00:42:10the NFL's full of people
00:42:11like her, okay?
00:42:11No biggie.
00:42:12Where were you
00:42:13between midnight and 2 a.m.?
00:42:14Passed out.
00:42:14Me and Patricia both.
00:42:16Jet lag, I guess.
00:42:18Hey, listen.
00:42:19Frankie said that Ainsley
00:42:20paid up a member of staff
00:42:21to cheat the game.
00:42:23Was it that Simmons guy?
00:42:24Why would you think that?
00:42:26Well, you know,
00:42:26suddenly he's not around.
00:42:28Bet he's got to be
00:42:29top of the suspect list, right?
00:42:40Franklin?
00:42:41How you doing?
00:42:46Honestly,
00:42:47we wrung out.
00:42:49Your detective friend
00:42:50asked me about a prenup,
00:42:51which of course we had.
00:42:53Ainsley was bluffing
00:42:54when she threatened
00:42:55to believe me financially
00:42:56in his divorce.
00:42:57Is that typical of her?
00:42:59Bluffing?
00:43:00Well, she's a corporate lawyer.
00:43:01It's what she does.
00:43:02Did.
00:43:05Every day.
00:43:05I'm sorry.
00:43:11No, don't apologize.
00:43:12Please.
00:43:13It's just I know I told you
00:43:14my marriage was a mistake.
00:43:16That doesn't mean
00:43:17I didn't care about her.
00:43:19And it's hard not to think
00:43:21that one of the people
00:43:21I brought here
00:43:22is responsible.
00:43:24Franklin,
00:43:24it seems that M was correct.
00:43:29Ainsley was cheating
00:43:29at the game.
00:43:30I was thinking about that.
00:43:32Ainsley came down here
00:43:33to the mainland
00:43:33a few weeks ago
00:43:34supposedly to see a client
00:43:36but now I'm not sure.
00:43:38It does appear
00:43:38that she was paying
00:43:39one of our staff
00:43:40quite a lot of money.
00:43:43Well, there you go.
00:43:44Why?
00:43:45Why would she want
00:43:46to win so badly?
00:43:47To humiliate
00:43:48the game's author?
00:43:49And humiliate me?
00:43:51She's been trying to do that
00:43:52since my honeymoon was over.
00:43:53That's why she brought
00:43:55Mickey with us.
00:43:56I'm pretty sure
00:43:57they're having an affair.
00:43:58I told Detective Trent.
00:44:01Where is Mickey?
00:44:03I think he's just
00:44:04gone to talk
00:44:04to the detectives.
00:44:06Thanks, Franklin.
00:44:14I'm not comfortable
00:44:15breaking into a guest room.
00:44:17You're not breaking in.
00:44:23We're just going in there
00:44:24to retrieve my property.
00:44:30I can't.
00:44:31Well, I'm going in.
00:44:38Ainsley and I
00:44:39were high school sweethearts.
00:44:40We split up
00:44:41freshman year of college.
00:44:43It was her idea
00:44:44and I hadn't seen her
00:44:45for years
00:44:46until our class reunion
00:44:47last year.
00:44:48Then a month after that
00:44:49I was in New York
00:44:50for a conference
00:44:50and we connected.
00:44:52She just got back
00:44:52from her honeymoon.
00:44:54How did she see?
00:44:55Usual.
00:44:56Intense.
00:44:58Driven.
00:44:59Funny.
00:45:00Like,
00:45:01ten steps ahead
00:45:02of everyone else.
00:45:03How many times
00:45:04did you see her
00:45:05after that?
00:45:06A few.
00:45:07And your relationship
00:45:10was strictly platonic.
00:45:13Why would you ask that?
00:45:15Ainsley is...
00:45:17was totally committed
00:45:20to her husband.
00:45:21She seems so ready
00:45:22to divorce him.
00:45:26Ains was the president
00:45:27of the theater club
00:45:28in high school.
00:45:30She's a drama queen.
00:45:31I figured she and Franklin
00:45:32would kiss and make up.
00:45:35Where were you last night
00:45:36between midnight and two?
00:45:38I went to my room
00:45:39around 11.
00:45:40I tried to finish my book
00:45:41but I nodded off
00:45:42pretty fast.
00:45:47Thank you, Mickey.
00:45:49Vivica,
00:45:50can we chat?
00:45:52Of course, Detective.
00:45:53Detective.
00:46:07I was hoping there'd be a tranche
00:46:16of love letters
00:46:16between him and Ainsley.
00:46:22Well, this isn't that
00:46:24but it is quite curious.
00:46:27John's book?
00:46:29He's probably borrowed it
00:46:30from our library.
00:46:31No, this is Mickey's
00:46:31personal copy
00:46:32and it's quite annotated.
00:46:34Come on.
00:47:04We need to follow him.
00:47:24He's going to commit another murder.
00:47:33I'm just devastated.
00:47:36I adored Ainsley.
00:47:37She was a real ally on the company board.
00:47:41Were you friends outside of work?
00:47:44But she had that nickname for you.
00:47:48Money.
00:47:51Detective, you must be assuming that that is derogatory.
00:47:55In our world, that's really quite the compliment.
00:47:57Can you imagine why anyone would want to do this to her?
00:48:00No.
00:48:05I'm sorry to ask, but where were you between midnight and two?
00:48:09Uh, I rarely make you past 11.
00:48:16I think it's a mess.
00:48:17No, it's not.
00:48:18It's okay.
00:48:19No, it's not okay.
00:48:21I think it's a mess.
00:48:22No, it's not.
00:48:23It's okay.
00:48:24No, it's not okay.
00:48:26He's dead.
00:48:27I'm stuck on this island.
00:48:28I...
00:48:29That way.
00:48:30No, I am old.
00:48:31I'm old.
00:48:32I've got Mickey.
00:48:33I've got my picker.
00:48:34I've got my picker.
00:48:35No, it's not.
00:48:36No, it's not okay.
00:48:39No, it's not okay.
00:48:40He's dead.
00:48:41I'm stuck on this island.
00:48:42I...
00:48:43That way.
00:48:45No, I am old.
00:48:46I'm old.
00:48:47I've got Mickey.
00:49:00I've got my picker.
00:49:15Hello? 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.
00:50:00I mean, Ainsley was totally brilliant, but she was a horrible person.
00:50:09I tried being a good sister to her, but she's zero time for me. So whatever, I moved on.
00:50:15Were you upset when she forced Spencer out of Franklin's company?
00:50:19How did Spencer tell you that? Who runs the company?
00:50:24You're saying Franklin forced out his own brother.
00:50:26I'm saying he brought Spencer in there because NFL players are a big deal. They get people excited, right? Which is what Spencer was doing. But then Franklin comes to Spencer and says he believes he's trying to edge Franklin out of his own company. Which Spencer was totally not doing, obviously. Even though he's totally smart and could do it. And Spencer would maybe be upset with me for telling you this. But I was furious with Franklin for a minute there. I mean, I could have killed him. Literally.
00:50:43But I calmed down. Spencer always says family first. So anyway, all good now. Except Ainsley being murdered.
00:50:50Except there.
00:50:51Except there.
00:51:20There you are. So, I tailed Vivica back here where she met up with Franklin and gave him a very familiar shoulder massage. How did he receive it?
00:51:47Quite comfortably. And then he poured them some wine and they went up to his room. I noticed them being comfortable yesterday.
00:51:56Hey, what about Mickey?
00:51:57Well, he went to the Hidden Hut. What, are you joking? Isn't that where the forensics people are?
00:52:04Yes, they are. Which is why he went. He turned in. He turned in the knife.
00:52:11Or the one he threatened Vivica with. I'm not sure he was threatening her. He most certainly was threatening her.
00:52:20Think about his body language. He backed away from her. He held the knife low and close to himself and then he bolted from her.
00:52:27After shouting that she owed him. He actually said, I'm owed. Which, not to be a language obsessive, doesn't necessarily mean Vivica's the one who owes him whatever he feels like he's owed.
00:52:37Fair point. Miss Criminal Psychiatrist.
00:52:42Dr. Miss Criminal Psychiatrist, please.
00:52:46Okay, so he handed in the knife and then what?
00:52:48He went to the beach and looked at the ocean.
00:52:51Is he still there?
00:52:54I don't know. While I was watching him I had a thought so I went and got his murder book. And look what I found among the annotations.
00:53:02Even an amateur, a person utterly unskilled at murder can walk up to a seated person from behind with a sharp four-inch blade and cut their carotid artery as easy as slicing a lemon.
00:53:14Ray said that Ainsley's carotid artery is what the killer cut.
00:53:21But this is hardly proof we can take to Jason.
00:53:23Yeah, you're right. We need to get back to our murder board. Think this all through.
00:53:27Now I know it's a cliché but before Mickey's book I was thinking that Franklin was the prime suspect and his motive was to get out of his marriage.
00:53:45And 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 are them for Franklin.
00:53:54Right. Okay, so pivoting to our second suspect, Mickey, who was studying how to cut a carotid artery.
00:54:02What if he was still in love with Ainsley the same way that Franklin is still in love with you?
00:54:07Ainsley threatens divorce. Mickey goes to Ainsley, professes his love.
00:54:11But she rejects him and he kills her.
00:54:14Extreme but possible. We also need to know what he's owed.
00:54:17Oh, definitely.
00:54:18And Spencer, who is clear on his dislike of Ainsley, is our third suspect.
00:54:22And fourth suspect...
00:54:24Is obviously Simmons. He was being paid by Ainsley to help her cheat.
00:54:32Maybe she didn't pay him the second half after everything blew up and he killed her for the money.
00:54:38That's a big maybe. We also know he was in his room from midnight until 2am.
00:54:43Speaking of which, did I tell you I fell asleep crazy fast last night?
00:54:47Apparently Jason did too, so he's running toxicology on the aperitif syndrome.
00:54:50Oh, and I also fell asleep uncommonly early, having drunk my aperitif.
00:54:55Really?
00:54:56Yes, what if this was the murderer putting the three investigative geniuses on the island out of commission so that the murder could be committed?
00:55:03Well, Jason needs to test my aperitif as well.
00:55:05Okay, well someone would have had to have stolen a passkey from housekeeping.
00:55:09That's hardly impossible.
00:55:10And gotten into our rooms yesterday evening to spike the drinks.
00:55:13Oh.
00:55:15Janie, Ray and I are ready to talk to you.
00:55:24Oh yes, of course.
00:55:25I'm making headway?
00:55:26And some.
00:55:27Anything you can share?
00:55:28Nothing I can share.
00:55:30Of course.
00:55:31I'm glad you all are doing this and not chasing people through the jungle.
00:55:34Janie thinks her drink might have been spiked too.
00:55:37The aperitif?
00:55:38Yes.
00:55:39We're testing the residue from all the glasses.
00:55:41Janie.
00:55:43You back Em?
00:56:06Are you busy?
00:56:07Just get out of the bath.
00:56:08Come on in.
00:56:10I'll just pop to the loo while you get dressed.
00:56:40I'm coming!
00:56:55So, what's up?
00:56:59I was wondering if I could show you my favourite place on the island to look at the night sky.
00:57:05Yeah, sounds great.
00:57:12So, how did Mrs. Trask communicate with you prior to this weekend?
00:57:18All via email, which made it much easier to appear incognito as Loretta Mabry, archaeologist from California.
00:57:28Do you like the accent?
00:57:31Impressive.
00:57:32Janie, in any of those communications, did Ainsley ask for an employee list?
00:57:37Yes, in fact, she did.
00:57:39Are you thinking that's how she got to Simmons?
00:57:42Yeah.
00:57:43She just said she had security concerns and that she was paying VIP prices, so I gave a fist.
00:57:50But, as I said to her, none of our employees have a criminal record.
00:57:55That is true, but we learned from Bennett that Simmons' sister is a single mother battling cancer.
00:58:00He started an online fundraising campaign for her about a month ago.
00:58:04So that might be his motive for selling secrets to Ainsley?
00:58:08I believe it is.
00:58:10Well, suddenly I'm feeling terribly for Simmons.
00:58:15Wow.
00:58:16Lovely.
00:58:17It is lovely.
00:58:18Hard to believe this is where I found the corpse of Mystery Island's founder.
00:58:19Gosh, Amy, that must have been awful.
00:58:20Not my first time seeing a corpse.
00:58:22Right, of course.
00:58:23Well, today was my first day.
00:58:24Identifying her body.
00:58:33Why'd you bring me up here, Amy?
00:58:38Well, today was my first day, identifying her body.
00:58:45Why'd you bring me up here, Emmy?
00:58:48Emmy?
00:58:52You know, nobody's called me that since-
00:58:53Since you broke up our engagement?
00:58:57Are you trying to dodge the question?
00:59:00I brought you up here to what I thought you'd think
00:59:02was a decidedly romantic locale,
00:59:04but 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,
00:59:19but a part of me did want to see you again
00:59:22because I wanted closure,
00:59:24and I wish you could admit that you need that too
00:59:26because you are not in love with me.
00:59:28Did you forget what I told you on the beach?
00:59:30No, and I'd like to know why that happened,
00:59:33but here's the thing.
00:59:35If you're so in love with me,
00:59:38why wait for your wife to bring you to my place of work
00:59:40and then make your move?
00:59:44Yeah.
00:59:45It's a good question, isn't it?
00:59:48I have a reply.
00:59:51I believe you wanted Ainsley to see you with me.
00:59:54I think you told her you were going for a walk on the beach.
00:59:57I think it might have been Ainsley
00:59:59who was no longer in love with you,
01:00:01who no longer adored you.
01:00:03I've been thinking a lot about our relationship,
01:00:09about why it remained transatlantic for so long.
01:00:13Our jobs?
01:00:15No, that's the surface answer.
01:00:16The deeper one is absence makes the heart grow fonder.
01:00:25So you're speaking in cliches now?
01:00:27There are any cliches because they're true.
01:00:28I think you liked the distance
01:00:32because it allowed me to keep adoring you
01:00:35and you want to be adored, Franklin.
01:00:37Okay, Emmy.
01:00:41So tell me then.
01:00:46Did I kill Ainsley?
01:00:49I mean, that's the deeper reason
01:00:51why you brought me up here, isn't it?
01:00:53To press my buttons,
01:00:55see how I respond,
01:00:56and see if I fit into your psychological profile
01:01:00for my wife's killer.
01:01:05Did you kill Ainsley?
01:01:07I loved Ainsley.
01:01:09And I believe
01:01:13I'm still in love with you.
01:01:24You're right.
01:01:26I absolutely love to be adored.
01:01:28that I did not kill my wife.
01:01:35Do you believe me?
01:01:43Help!
01:01:47Help me!
01:01:48Mr. Trask!
01:01:50Stop that!
01:01:50Spencer!
01:01:51Buddy, enough!
01:01:52Okay, okay, I'm good.
01:01:53Is he all right?
01:01:54I think not.
01:01:55He needs to go to the infirmary.
01:01:56What are you doing?
01:01:57What am I doing?
01:01:58This guy killed your wife!
01:02:00We don't know that.
01:02:01Yeah?
01:02:01Well, you also didn't know what I know.
01:02:03The rats always go back to their homes.
01:02:06So me and Patricia waited for him.
01:02:07He was trying to sneak back in.
01:02:08Is that true?
01:02:08Of course it is.
01:02:10Spencer doesn't lie.
01:02:11He grabbed him
01:02:12and told him to go confess to you
01:02:14for killing Ainsley.
01:02:15He said he didn't kill Ainsley.
01:02:16I was like,
01:02:17then why'd you go on the run?
01:02:18And then he actually tried
01:02:19to headbutt Spencer.
01:02:20We have security cameras
01:02:22in the dorm hallway.
01:02:23We know Simmons was in his room
01:02:24from midnight to two.
01:02:25Oh, he could have snuck back
01:02:26in that window.
01:02:27He's got a point.
01:02:28He does.
01:02:29But Spencer,
01:02:30not only are you a suspect,
01:02:31you were under arrest for assault.
01:02:33Are you joking?
01:02:34Patricia,
01:02:35I'm investigating a homicide
01:02:36and your husband is interfering
01:02:37with that investigation.
01:02:38Do I need to put these on you
01:02:39or you're coming peacefully
01:02:41with me back to the jail?
01:02:43Yeah, no need, man.
01:02:45Come on.
01:02:45I think Jason needs our help.
01:02:54We need to show him
01:02:55Mickey's book.
01:02:56Yeah.
01:02:58Well, be prepared to face this wrath
01:02:59when we tell him how we got it.
01:03:01Wrath I can handle.
01:03:05But we need to solve this case
01:03:06before somebody else winds up it.
01:03:08Hey.
01:03:21How's he doing?
01:03:24Stable, but not talking yet.
01:03:26What's up?
01:03:26Can we talk?
01:03:27Of course.
01:03:28I spoke with Franklin earlier.
01:03:33I wanted to see
01:03:34if I could get him
01:03:34to tell me the truth.
01:03:35About Ainsley or about you?
01:03:37Both.
01:03:38And about himself.
01:03:39How'd he do?
01:03:40Well, with most people,
01:03:42the tell that they're lying
01:03:43is a gesture of obfuscation.
01:03:45Yeah, playing with their hair,
01:03:46fidgeting.
01:03:48Exactly.
01:03:48But with Franklin,
01:03:49the tell that he's lying
01:03:50is he doesn't seem
01:03:51to be obfuscating at all.
01:03:53He just looks at you
01:03:53with the most penetrating gaze.
01:03:55So he's a sociopath?
01:03:57I don't think so, no.
01:03:58Just a man of profound conviction.
01:04:00And he did this penetrating gaze thing
01:04:03when he was telling you what?
01:04:04That he was in love with Ainsley.
01:04:06And with me.
01:04:07So you think?
01:04:09Franklin's always had
01:04:10one true love, himself.
01:04:12But I don't think
01:04:13he killed Ainsley.
01:04:14Who do you think did?
01:04:15Well, Janie thinks
01:04:17Mickey's a strong candidate.
01:04:18The knife he gave to forensics.
01:04:20How do you know about that?
01:04:23Uh, we saw him in the jungle
01:04:26meeting with Vivica.
01:04:27Amelia.
01:04:28We kept a safe distance,
01:04:29but they were arguing
01:04:30about something.
01:04:31What?
01:04:32Well, it was hard to hear
01:04:33because we were keeping
01:04:34a safe distance,
01:04:35but he did shout,
01:04:36I'm owed.
01:04:36And then he showed her this knife,
01:04:38which concerned me,
01:04:38so I followed him to the hut
01:04:39and I saw him turn it in.
01:04:41There was no blood on it,
01:04:43but we're having to check
01:04:43the DNA and prints.
01:04:45Okay.
01:04:45Well, he's also been reading this.
01:04:47And how did you come about this?
01:04:49Does that matter?
01:04:50For a chain of custody
01:04:51in a trial,
01:04:52it certainly does.
01:04:52Well, we can discuss that later,
01:04:54but you see all the notations?
01:04:56Well, he is a school teacher.
01:04:58Maybe it's his first class.
01:04:59He teaches biology,
01:05:00not creative writing.
01:05:01And look at this passage.
01:05:03Cut their carotid artery
01:05:04as easy as slicing a lemon.
01:05:08Yeah.
01:05:09Oh, also,
01:05:10there's a prescription
01:05:11for Ainsley for Tamazapan,
01:05:12the sleeping medication,
01:05:13in Franklin's bathroom.
01:05:14Well, how do you...
01:05:16Well, I was using his bathroom
01:05:17and I searched his toiletries.
01:05:19It was definitely Ainsley's.
01:05:20Definitely.
01:05:21I'm thinking of our aperitifs.
01:05:23Yeah, me too.
01:05:24We'll know for a fact
01:05:25in the morning.
01:05:28What?
01:05:28Even when we're not
01:05:31working together,
01:05:32you deliver.
01:05:33Well, I do have Janie.
01:05:35She might be a bit
01:05:36of an investigative upgrade.
01:05:38Trying to make me jealous?
01:05:39Is it working?
01:05:40Really well.
01:05:49Em.
01:05:51Did you just call me Em?
01:05:53I did.
01:05:55Janie calls you that all the time.
01:05:56Is there a problem?
01:05:58Quite the contrary.
01:05:59Good.
01:06:00Yeah.
01:06:02So what is it?
01:06:04Oh, uh,
01:06:05Ray got back to me
01:06:05with the toxicology reports.
01:06:07Janie, you and I
01:06:08all had our aperitif spiked,
01:06:09which means you are
01:06:10no longer a suspect.
01:06:11And Frank is your prime suspect.
01:06:13I'll go fetch him.
01:06:14Meet me in the dining room.
01:06:15No one's in there right now.
01:06:20Have you had a breakthrough?
01:06:21Of sorts.
01:06:22Well, what's that mean?
01:06:24Have a seat.
01:06:25I'm fine standing.
01:06:27Sit down.
01:06:31Are you...
01:06:31Dr. Priestley's consulting
01:06:33on the case.
01:06:34Okay, then.
01:06:36So what's this about?
01:06:39These sleeping pills
01:06:41prescribed your wife
01:06:42were not found
01:06:43with her things
01:06:43in her room.
01:06:44They were found
01:06:44in your dop kit
01:06:45in your room.
01:06:47You were spying on me.
01:06:48Franklin,
01:06:48I want to catch
01:06:49your wife's killer.
01:06:50And you think it's me?
01:06:51Why were these
01:06:52in your room?
01:06:52What does it matter?
01:06:54Ainsley didn't die
01:06:54from an overdose
01:06:55of sleeping pills.
01:06:56It's interesting
01:06:57that you're not
01:06:57answering my question.
01:06:59What do those pills
01:07:00have to do with their murder?
01:07:01Answer the question,
01:07:02Franklin.
01:07:03Actually,
01:07:04I don't think I will.
01:07:06I think I'm going
01:07:06back to my room.
01:07:08I want your outside
01:07:08landline so I can call
01:07:10my lawyer and a pilot
01:07:11to my plane.
01:07:12Franklin.
01:07:13You've been manipulating
01:07:13me since I got here.
01:07:15That's projection.
01:07:17This is not the behavior
01:07:18of an innocent man.
01:07:19It's the behavior
01:07:20of an annoyed man.
01:07:22Now, I'm going to talk
01:07:22to Vivica,
01:07:23and we're going to hire
01:07:24the best private detectives
01:07:25in New York
01:07:26to come down here
01:07:27and do your job for you.
01:07:29They'll be here tomorrow
01:07:29along with my lawyers
01:07:30who will have
01:07:31my brother released.
01:07:34I am done cooperating.
01:07:37They're not alone.
01:07:39I better call Ray
01:07:40and let him know
01:07:41what happened.
01:07:41I doubt the others
01:07:42will talk to us now either.
01:07:44Mickey might.
01:07:45We just have to get him
01:07:45alone, now.
01:07:47And do what?
01:07:48Employ a psychological
01:07:49technique to get him
01:07:49to tell us about
01:07:50what he's owed.
01:07:51What is this
01:07:52psychological technique?
01:07:54It's called
01:07:55bluffing.
01:08:02Has something happened?
01:08:03Why?
01:08:04Franklin just charged
01:08:05into the game room,
01:08:06grabbed Vivica,
01:08:07and left.
01:08:08The investigation
01:08:08may have taken a turn.
01:08:10Is Mickey with them?
01:08:11He's still in there
01:08:12with Patricia.
01:08:13I don't feel like
01:08:14being accosted about Spencer.
01:08:15Could you grab him
01:08:16for us, Bennett?
01:08:16That's right away.
01:08:18So, how do we bluff?
01:08:21I had a thought.
01:08:22Would you like to share it
01:08:23before he...
01:08:23Mickey!
01:08:25Um, would you like
01:08:26to take a stroll with us?
01:08:28Um...
01:08:29Let's go this way.
01:08:31So, I'm supporting
01:08:32Detective Trent
01:08:33in his investigation now.
01:08:35Oh, that's good?
01:08:36Yes, it is.
01:08:38Um, and I just wanted
01:08:38to tell you that I'm
01:08:39sympathetic to what
01:08:40you're going through.
01:08:42Not just for the loss
01:08:44of Ainsley,
01:08:44but also for Vivica
01:08:46betraying your trust.
01:08:48She told you?
01:08:50Hmm.
01:08:50And she seemed quite upset
01:08:52because according to her
01:08:53it was all your idea.
01:08:56That's a lie.
01:08:57Vivica approached me.
01:08:59Well, you know,
01:09:01she thinks you believe
01:09:02she owes you.
01:09:03Because she does?
01:09:05Okay?
01:09:05Maybe to her,
01:09:06to all these people,
01:09:07it's not a lot of money,
01:09:08but to me it is.
01:09:09She said ten?
01:09:10Ten?
01:09:10No, it's 25 grand
01:09:11and I can prove that.
01:09:14We have a contract.
01:09:15Did you remind her
01:09:16of that contract?
01:09:17She said it's not valid
01:09:18because I didn't get
01:09:20Ainsley to fall in love
01:09:20with me.
01:09:24Right.
01:09:25You know,
01:09:26Vivica didn't actually
01:09:27tell us why she wanted
01:09:28Ainsley to fall in love
01:09:29with you.
01:09:30Because Vivica's
01:09:31in love with Franklin.
01:09:34You can't make me go.
01:09:36We cannot go.
01:09:37Let me go.
01:09:38Calm down.
01:09:39What is happening?
01:09:40These heartless monsters
01:09:41want to go back to New York
01:09:42and leave Spencer
01:09:43in your jail.
01:09:44We're sending lawyers down.
01:09:45You think you can
01:09:46buy your way out of anything?
01:09:47Stop.
01:09:48We may not be
01:09:49pressing charges.
01:09:50When I left Simmons,
01:09:51he was stable.
01:09:52Bennett, how is he now?
01:09:53He's much better.
01:09:54He's managed a few words,
01:09:55but the nurse says
01:09:55he needs to rest a bit more.
01:09:56That's good news.
01:09:57When can I see him?
01:09:58I'd say in an hour.
01:09:59I'll have a conversation
01:10:00with him,
01:10:00which will quite possibly
01:10:01result in Spencer
01:10:02being released.
01:10:03Franklin,
01:10:04we have to stay.
01:10:05You have one hour.
01:10:09Jason and I
01:10:13were hoping
01:10:13to talk to you
01:10:14about your contract
01:10:16with Mickey.
01:10:18You told him
01:10:19about our contract.
01:10:22You told him
01:10:22about our contract.
01:10:24Oh, Mickey.
01:10:26Yes, let's chat.
01:10:35Yes.
01:10:37The contract
01:10:38was for Mickey
01:10:40to get Ainsley
01:10:40to fall in love
01:10:41with him.
01:10:43He got $25,000
01:10:44on signing
01:10:45and would receive
01:10:46the second half
01:10:47when Ainsley
01:10:48left Franklin.
01:10:50Yesterday,
01:10:50you told me
01:10:51you and Ainsley
01:10:51were friends.
01:10:53We are.
01:10:55Were.
01:10:57That's how I knew
01:10:57about Mickey.
01:10:58And you didn't think
01:10:58to tell me
01:10:59about this contract.
01:11:00It has no relevance
01:11:01to Ainsley's murder.
01:11:02That is for me
01:11:03to decide.
01:11:03It's obviously
01:11:07quite embarrassing.
01:11:10You really did
01:11:11all this
01:11:11because you're
01:11:11in love with Franklin?
01:11:14Mickey told you
01:11:15everything.
01:11:17It's quite ironic
01:11:18I'm speaking to you
01:11:19about this
01:11:19who threw away
01:11:20the most wonderful
01:11:21man in the world
01:11:21and still he travels
01:11:23thousands of miles
01:11:24just to see you again.
01:11:25I've seen the way
01:11:28you two look
01:11:29at each other.
01:11:30Don't tell me
01:11:31you don't know
01:11:31what it's like
01:11:32to be attracted
01:11:32to a work colleague.
01:11:35And then, Amelia,
01:11:35imagine Detective Trent
01:11:36here.
01:11:37He gets married
01:11:39to someone you think
01:11:40is impressive
01:11:41and likable.
01:11:44But she's not you,
01:11:45is she?
01:11:46And then,
01:11:48imagine you find
01:11:49a way to just
01:11:49change things.
01:11:52Murder would also
01:11:52be a way to do that.
01:11:53Of course it would.
01:11:57But then why would
01:11:58I bother to sign
01:11:59a contract with Mickey?
01:12:01And anyway,
01:12:02I didn't need Mickey
01:12:03to get Ainsley
01:12:04to leave Franklin.
01:12:08I needed you.
01:12:11Now, if that is all,
01:12:12I have some calls
01:12:13to make on the landline
01:12:14regarding private detectives
01:12:16we're hiring.
01:12:17Of course.
01:12:23Hard to argue
01:12:28that if she wanted
01:12:29Ainsley to leave Franklin...
01:12:30She had no motive
01:12:31for murder.
01:12:32Janie and I both
01:12:32noticed her being
01:12:33quite touchy-feely
01:12:34with him.
01:12:35Yeah, it tracks,
01:12:36but I don't know,
01:12:36these people are...
01:12:37Twisted?
01:12:39Yeah.
01:12:41That was clever
01:12:41what she did
01:12:42trying to turn it
01:12:42around on us.
01:12:43Very clever.
01:12:45And she's not wrong.
01:12:47If you got engaged again,
01:12:48then I might try
01:12:50to end it.
01:12:53Doctor's given the
01:12:53all clear.
01:12:54You can see Simmons now.
01:13:02Hey.
01:13:05I was just telling Simmons
01:13:06that we know
01:13:07what he did for his sister.
01:13:08Hold on, Janie.
01:13:11Simmons, you need
01:13:12to tell us what you did.
01:13:14I gave Ainsley to ask
01:13:16the answer to the game
01:13:17you guys wrote
01:13:18in exchange for
01:13:20a hundred grand.
01:13:21To pay his sister's
01:13:22medical bills.
01:13:23Which, Simmons,
01:13:24you really should have
01:13:25come to us about that.
01:13:26I appreciate that,
01:13:27but Jason, I swear,
01:13:29I had nothing to do
01:13:30with her murder.
01:13:32When's the last time
01:13:33you were with Ainsley?
01:13:36Before dinner.
01:13:37Friday.
01:13:39She gave me the money
01:13:40and the pills.
01:13:41Pills?
01:13:42Did Ainsley have you
01:13:44drug the aperitifs
01:13:44in our three rooms?
01:13:47I...
01:13:47put the pills
01:13:48in everyone's drinks.
01:13:51Well,
01:13:53everyone except Ainsley
01:13:54and...
01:13:55someone else.
01:14:08We're closing game
01:14:09on an hour.
01:14:10I'm aware of that,
01:14:11Mr. Trask.
01:14:12They're just tying up
01:14:13some loose ends.
01:14:14All right, then.
01:14:14We're leaving in two minutes
01:14:15and we'll be heading
01:14:16down to the dock.
01:14:16Without Spencer?
01:14:17Patricia, we agreed
01:14:18an hour.
01:14:20And Spencer has no one
01:14:21else to blame but himself.
01:14:22Patricia!
01:14:24Spencer!
01:14:25Hey, honey.
01:14:27Oh, did you miss me?
01:14:29Yeah.
01:14:31Hey, great news.
01:14:32They've decided
01:14:33not to press charges.
01:14:34Terrific.
01:14:34We're going now.
01:14:38Hey, Frankie,
01:14:39hold up.
01:14:41Simmons.
01:14:43Look, I, uh...
01:14:44I'm real sorry
01:14:47for losing my temper.
01:14:48I guess we both
01:14:49made mistakes.
01:14:50Takes a big man
01:14:51to admit that.
01:14:53Tough one, too.
01:14:54I gotta tell you,
01:14:54I hurt my hand there.
01:14:55You're made of steel.
01:14:56I appreciate that.
01:14:57That's very gracious,
01:14:58Simmons.
01:14:59I'm glad you're okay.
01:15:00Now,
01:15:01we are leaving.
01:15:11Don't go, Franklin.
01:15:12Not until we've told you
01:15:14who the murderer is.
01:15:23Is this some stall tactic?
01:15:24Not at all.
01:15:25And I promise if you stay,
01:15:27you'll get your money's worth.
01:15:28Yeah, because that's what
01:15:29this whole weekend
01:15:29has been about, after all.
01:15:31Not love.
01:15:33Money.
01:15:34Franklin, this really
01:15:35isn't worth your time.
01:15:36We need to...
01:15:37Hang on, dear.
01:15:39Emmy, what do you mean
01:15:39this weekend's been about money?
01:15:41Janie?
01:15:43Right.
01:15:44Well, as you know,
01:15:45Ainsley reached out to me
01:15:46with a plan for you all
01:15:47to come down here.
01:15:48Now, the one requirement
01:15:49was that Amelia
01:15:50be on site and included.
01:15:52So it seemed obvious
01:15:54that Ainsley wanted you,
01:15:55Franklin, to be reconnected
01:15:56with your former love
01:15:57to ensure
01:15:58that you weren't still
01:15:59holding a flame for her.
01:16:01And when Ainsley won
01:16:02the game by cheating,
01:16:03this seemed it was
01:16:04to prove to you
01:16:05that she, your current love,
01:16:06was better than me.
01:16:07We thought maybe a flame
01:16:09had been rekindled
01:16:10between Ainsley
01:16:10and her high school
01:16:11sweetheart, Mickey.
01:16:12But then we learned
01:16:13that Mickey had been hired
01:16:14by Vivica
01:16:14to woo Ainsley away from you
01:16:16because, according to Vivica,
01:16:18she's in love with you.
01:16:21Whoa.
01:16:22Excuse me?
01:16:25Viv, is this?
01:16:26Not how I wanted you
01:16:27to learn it, Franklin.
01:16:29So it's true?
01:16:31Mickey?
01:16:32Yeah, it's true.
01:16:38Franklin, I'd really rather
01:16:40prefer to discuss
01:16:41this on the flight home.
01:16:42We'll get there.
01:16:43Believe me.
01:16:44Continue, please.
01:16:45Love is obviously
01:16:48one of the biggest motives
01:16:49for murder,
01:16:50but when we questioned Vivica,
01:16:52she ably disproved
01:16:53that she could have
01:16:54killed Ainsley.
01:16:55I'm glad you agree.
01:16:57And you were so close.
01:16:59She gave you that
01:16:59complimentary nickname,
01:17:01money.
01:17:02And money is the other
01:17:03top motive for murder,
01:17:04so what if that was the motive
01:17:05for Ainsley's murder?
01:17:06Not the $50,000
01:17:08that Vivica was paying Mickey.
01:17:09Or the $100,000
01:17:10Ainsley paid Simmon.
01:17:12I mean, to most of you,
01:17:12those numbers are just
01:17:13rounding errors.
01:17:14But to commit murder,
01:17:17there needed to be
01:17:17a much bigger prize
01:17:18at the end.
01:17:19Yeah.
01:17:21Like Trask Global.
01:17:23My company.
01:17:25Do you remember
01:17:26what Ainsley said
01:17:27about our fictitious
01:17:28gold smuggler?
01:17:29If you're going to rob
01:17:30someone, don't do it
01:17:31a bit at a time.
01:17:32Don't you agree, money?
01:17:37Ainsley was right.
01:17:38The character I was playing
01:17:40would have been smart
01:17:40to find a way
01:17:41to take all the money
01:17:42in one fell swoop.
01:17:43Which is what would have
01:17:44happened if someone
01:17:45had forced Franklin
01:17:46out of his own company
01:17:47and taken control
01:17:49of Trask Global
01:17:49for over a billion dollars.
01:17:51Hey, whoa, Frankie,
01:17:52I swear I did not
01:17:53try to do that.
01:17:53Even if Spencer
01:17:54had been angling
01:17:55to take over
01:17:55Franklin's company
01:17:56months ago.
01:17:57Uh-uh, Spencer wasn't.
01:17:58We know he didn't
01:17:59kill Ainsley.
01:18:00He was fast asleep.
01:18:02Where were you
01:18:03between midnight
01:18:03and 2 a.m.?
01:18:04Passed out.
01:18:06Me and Patricia both.
01:18:06In fact,
01:18:09many people
01:18:10had a hard time
01:18:10staying awake that night,
01:18:11including Jason,
01:18:12Janie, and myself.
01:18:14Because they were
01:18:14drugged with Tamezapam.
01:18:17Toxicology confirmed it.
01:18:18Naturally,
01:18:19we thought the killer
01:18:19drugged us
01:18:20to keep us out of the way
01:18:21so the murder
01:18:22could be committed.
01:18:23But in quite a stunning twist,
01:18:24it wasn't the killer
01:18:24who drugged us,
01:18:25it was the murder victim.
01:18:26Which the killer
01:18:27wouldn't have known,
01:18:28of course.
01:18:29And Simmons clarified
01:18:30that Ainsley didn't just
01:18:30pay him to give away
01:18:31the plot of the game.
01:18:32She paid him
01:18:33to drug all the drinks
01:18:34in our room.
01:18:35All of them,
01:18:36but one person's.
01:18:39Vivica.
01:18:40Are you serious?
01:18:45Yeah, they're serious.
01:18:48Ainsley had me
01:18:48drug all the drinks
01:18:50except for hers
01:18:51and yours.
01:18:53Well, I don't see
01:18:54how this matters.
01:18:55It matters
01:18:56because it means
01:18:56that Ainsley was planning
01:18:57on meeting with you
01:18:58after midnight,
01:18:59when Bennett, Simmons,
01:19:00and the rest of the stuff
01:19:00were in their rooms
01:19:01and when all the guests
01:19:02were sleeping
01:19:02a deep, deep sleep.
01:19:04I was sleeping too.
01:19:05Simmons has no motive
01:19:07for lying.
01:19:08While we were at dinner,
01:19:09he drugged everyone's
01:19:09apartheid,
01:19:10then put the temazepam
01:19:11back into Franklin
01:19:13and Ainsley's room.
01:19:14Before their fight
01:19:15and before Ainsley
01:19:15moved rooms.
01:19:16But he mistakenly
01:19:17put the pill bottle
01:19:18back in Franklin's
01:19:19dobket.
01:19:20Ainsley had Simmons
01:19:21do this
01:19:21because she wanted
01:19:23complete privacy
01:19:24when she presented
01:19:25you with a contract
01:19:26that would pay her
01:19:27what we can only imagine
01:19:28is a very large sum
01:19:30of money for her vote.
01:19:31You weren't in love
01:19:32with Franklin.
01:19:34You wanted to take
01:19:35over his company.
01:19:36And you spent months
01:19:38wooing board members
01:19:39away from Franklin.
01:19:40And then you got rid of Spencer
01:19:42and pinned that on Ainsley.
01:19:43This is an absurd fantasy.
01:19:45But it isn't though.
01:19:46Don't you remember
01:19:47my second cousin
01:19:48is on your board,
01:19:49Piper Plunkett?
01:19:50She just told me
01:19:51all this on the phone
01:19:51before I walked in here.
01:19:53You needed one more vote
01:19:54to force Franklin out.
01:19:55You tried to hire Mickey
01:19:56to get leverage over Ainsley
01:19:57but that failed.
01:19:58Ainsley didn't love Mickey.
01:20:01Ainsley didn't love Franklin either.
01:20:02Ainsley loved money.
01:20:04And once you understood that
01:20:06you knew what to do.
01:20:07But then something
01:20:08must have happened.
01:20:09Did Ainsley change the deal
01:20:11at the last minute?
01:20:12Did she want more money
01:20:13than money was willing to pay?
01:20:15And if money didn't pay
01:20:16Ainsley would simply tell Franklin
01:20:17what money had been up to.
01:20:19Ainsley out-negotiated money.
01:20:21That's what Ainsley
01:20:22was trying to write.
01:20:23It's not an S.
01:20:24It's the beginnings
01:20:24of a dollar sign.
01:20:25Ainsley was trying to tell us
01:20:27that her killer was money.
01:20:29This is more fantastical
01:20:30than one of your
01:20:31mystery game plots.
01:20:32A brilliant woman like Ainsley
01:20:33would have taken payment
01:20:34with a cashier's check
01:20:35for maximum secrecy.
01:20:37Unlike a wire transfer,
01:20:38cashier checks
01:20:38leave no digital trace.
01:20:40Give me the check.
01:20:43Give me the check.
01:20:50Ten million dollars
01:21:07made out to Ainsley Trask.
01:21:09Oh.
01:21:11And endorsed back to you
01:21:12with what I can only expect
01:21:14is Ainsley's forged signature.
01:21:17Vivica Bentley,
01:21:18you were under arrest
01:21:19for the murder of Ainsley Trask.
01:21:28Go.
01:21:38Listen,
01:21:39please accept my apology
01:21:40for my behavior.
01:21:41You got as twisted
01:21:42as we did with Vivica's lies.
01:21:45Thanks for that.
01:21:46And for all you did.
01:21:47Just doing our job.
01:21:48I hope it's not
01:21:50another seven years
01:21:51until I see you again.
01:21:53Our paths may cross
01:21:54at Vivica's trial.
01:21:56Take care of yourself, Emmy.
01:22:05Well,
01:22:06I realize the three of you
01:22:07have been through this before,
01:22:09but an actual murder
01:22:10in the midst
01:22:11of fictitious ones.
01:22:13If you need a couple of days
01:22:14to recover, Bennett...
01:22:15Oh, no.
01:22:16Quite the contrary.
01:22:18I am extremely proud
01:22:20to be in the company
01:22:21of three such brilliant
01:22:22investigative minds.
01:22:27Why don't we all
01:22:28have a bottle of champagne?
01:22:30Why not?
01:22:32Amelia and I will
01:22:33join you on the veranda shortly.
01:22:36Oh, all right.
01:22:38Bennett, shall we?
01:22:38Oh, Baroness,
01:22:39after you.
01:22:42What is it?
01:22:43I just wanted to say
01:22:44that you handled
01:22:45Franklin really well.
01:22:47Oh, as did you.
01:22:48I was impressed
01:22:49you made it through
01:22:49without smacking him.
01:22:51Oh, I was tempted.
01:22:52I'm sure you were too.
01:22:53I believe I have the right
01:22:55to remain silent
01:22:56on that detective.
01:22:59Jason.
01:23:00Em.
01:23:01Earlier in the library
01:23:02when you said...
01:23:03That if you got engaged again,
01:23:04I would try to stop it.
01:23:05Did you want to say why?
01:23:07You're the psychiatrist.
01:23:08I'm sure you'll figure it out.
01:23:09You're the first place.
