Paul Mescal, Jessie Buckley, and Joe Alwyn are in full investigation mode. In this episode of “Where Is the Lie?” the ‘Hamnet’ stars try to spot each other’s bluffs, from Joe’s ‘Macbeth’-themed stories and Paul’s multiple skydiving adventures to Jessie claiming she was a child clown and can hear an alarm only cats can hear, both of which somehow suit her perfectly.

Watch 'Hamnet' in theaters now.

00:00You broken character straight away.
00:02Yeah, let's be detectives.
00:04My parents met on stage.
00:05Awww.
00:07Come on!
00:08Owww!
00:10Lie!
00:18Come on!
00:24I'm terrified already.
00:26Preliminary evidence.
00:28There's a theme.
00:29I was once in a rollerblade production of Macbeth.
00:36I had a black cat named Macbeth when I was a kid.
00:39Uh-huh.
00:40I see the theme.
00:41You see the theme?
00:42Yeah.
00:43You see where I'm going with this?
00:44Yeah.
00:45I once said the forbidden word from the Scottish play,
00:49and the stage broke and stopped the show.
00:52What age were you when you had the cat?
00:54About seven.
00:55That's true.
00:56And what colour were your rollerblades?
00:58Black?
00:59I don't remember.
01:00I was very young.
01:01Lie!
01:02Why would he remember the colour of the rollerblades?
01:04Well, he did it like pfft.
01:06Yeah, I was so young.
01:07I was about eight years old.
01:08I was about eight years old.
01:09Where was it?
01:10It was at another school, but it was an extracurricular activity from the school that I went to.
01:15Guys, I smile at the time.
01:17I think that's a lie.
01:18What colour was the cat?
01:19Black.
01:20Black.
01:21She died, and then I got another cat.
01:22Of what?
01:23What did she die of?
01:24Car.
01:25Car?
01:26Too basic.
01:27Car.
01:28I'm serious.
01:29What production were you doing when you said the word?
01:32It was just recently.
01:33It was a few weeks ago.
01:34I said the word Macbeth in the warm-up on stage, and everyone got very angry.
01:39Spook.
01:40And we did a big ritual to try and cleanse it.
01:43What was the ritual?
01:44You go outside the theatre.
01:46You come back in.
01:47You spin around.
01:48You shout, fuck.
01:49You spit on the floor.
01:50Who told you to do that?
01:52My friend John.
01:53Okay, I believe that.
01:54I think that's true.
01:55I think that's true.
01:56That's a great one.
01:57But he said the stage will break tonight.
01:59And the stage broke, and the show had to stop for ten minutes.
02:05I think the eight-year-old on rollerblades.
02:08I don't believe that.
02:09I don't believe that.
02:10Although I would like to see that.
02:12It was extraordinary.
02:14I think the cat and the stage breaking is the truth.
02:17I think you on rollerblades.
02:19Yeah, I agree.
02:20It's endearing, but it's a lie.
02:21Yeah.
02:26The lie is the cat.
02:29I knew it!
02:31Straight off the top!
02:33Come on!
02:34That was good, though.
02:35Eight years.
02:36Were you actually eight when you did the...
02:38Yeah.
02:39That is mad.
02:40Oh, well done.
02:41Well done.
02:48Tell us the truth.
02:49God damn it!
02:50You can't handle the truth.
02:53We're not leaving this room until you tell us the truth.
02:55Preliminary evidence.
02:57My first pet was a turtle that I found in a back garden.
03:01I've been skydiving twice.
03:04And my parents met on stage.
03:06Aww.
03:08You're a broken character straight away.
03:12You're a lesbian detective.
03:13My parents met on stage.
03:14Aww.
03:16You're a good cop.
03:17You're clearly a good cop.
03:18I think the tone of your voice changed slightly on the second one.
03:21With the skydiving.
03:22On the second one, I've been skydiving twice.
03:23Yeah.
03:24So I've been skydiving in Jersey and I've been skydiving at Baldonnell Airport.
03:27Jersey?
03:28Jersey.
03:29In, like, the UK.
03:30Yeah, I know where Jersey is.
03:31My dad's a pilot, so he knew.
03:33See, my thing with the turtle is, like, how did you find a turtle in Ireland in a back garden?
03:38That's just not something that's walking around.
03:40I've actually done that before.
03:43You found a turtle in your back garden?
03:44Yeah.
03:45What's the difference between a turtle and a tortoise?
03:46You tell us.
03:47You found one.
03:48No, I think it was a turtle.
03:49It was a back garden.
03:50I was mowing the back.
03:51We had students who lived two doors up.
03:53I was cutting the grass for them and I heard this hissing noise.
03:56And if anybody knows turtles or turtles, they hiss.
03:58I thought it was a snake.
03:59I found a turtle and we kept a terrible path.
04:01Turtles hiss?
04:02They hiss, yeah.
04:03What was his name?
04:04Tuffy.
04:05Tuffy the turtle?
04:06Yeah.
04:07And what's the last one?
04:08My parents met on stage.
04:09Oh, that's got you.
04:10I believe that.
04:12Don't say that's a lie to me.
04:14It'll break my heart.
04:15Like on stage, they were acting on stage.
04:17My dad was the pirate king and my mom was in the chorus.
04:20Oh!
04:21Yeah, I fell out.
04:25He makes a good argument for them all.
04:28Unless it's like, yes, the turtle thing is true, but its name, it wasn't in the garden.
04:33It was like...
04:34Tuffy.
04:35Tuffy the turtle.
04:36No.
04:37It can't be.
04:38It can't be Tuffy the turtle.
04:39What happened to Tuffy the turtle?
04:40What happened to Tuffy the turtle?
04:41Cross-examination finished.
04:42You're laughing.
04:43Do I have to answer any more questions?
04:44You listen to us.
04:45I don't have to answer any more questions.
04:46You're even laughing at the name that you created called Tuffy the turtle.
04:50I'm not engaging in any further questioning.
04:53I think...
04:54I want the turtle to be true.
04:55I think the skydive is not true.
04:57Yeah.
04:58Are you sure?
04:59Is that your final answer?
05:00Yeah.
05:01Yeah.
05:02Yeah.
05:03The lie is that I've been skydiving twice.
05:06Yes!
05:07Damn!
05:08Yes!
05:09Have you ever been skydiving?
05:10I've never been skydiving.
05:11Have you even ever?
05:12The Baldonald jersey thing, I was like, oh, uh, yeah.
05:15Jersey.
05:16Yeah, Jersey.
05:17I was like, why Jersey?
05:18Where were you in the light of October the 17th?
05:24I'm wine.
05:25Huh?
05:30Oh.
05:31Preliminary evidence.
05:32I'm scared.
05:33Okay.
05:34Preliminary evidence.
05:36I lived in a convent for five years.
05:39I can hear the, like, you know, the cat alarms?
05:42Say it again as it's written, please.
05:44Yes.
05:45Yes.
05:46I can hear the cat alarm meant to ward off cats in gardens.
05:52I was a clown in the circus as a kid.
05:55Like a professional circus?
05:56Yeah, Duffy Circus.
05:57That's true.
05:58What was your specialty?
05:59That's fully true.
06:00I was a clown.
06:01Yeah, what kind of clown?
06:02Can I see?
06:03No.
06:04Her name was Petunia.
06:05I think I believe the clown.
06:06I think I believe it too.
06:07I think the first one is too long to be living in a convent.
06:10Five years.
06:11What age were you in a convent?
06:13From 12 till 17.
06:16That's tough.
06:17I still have a memory that I've been talking about.
06:19That's tough.
06:20Why were you living in the convent?
06:22Because it was a music school off the country that I went to.
06:25And the cat alarm.
06:26What's the second one again?
06:27The cat alarm.
06:28I can hear the cat alarm.
06:29What does it sound like?
06:30It's only animals can hear it.
06:31It's like that very, like...
06:32It's a dog.
06:34No, no.
06:35It's like a thing.
06:36We can only hear those.
06:37It's a thing my husband bought to put into the, like, plants.
06:40Because there was a cat that kept coming over and, like, digging off the thing.
06:44So...
06:45What cats don't do?
06:46What do you mean cats were digging up?
06:47They just dig off dirt and stuff.
06:48That's not true.
06:49Cats don't dig up dirt.
06:50They wee and stuff.
06:51Maybe it's not a cat alarm.
06:53Maybe that's the lie.
06:54It's a car alarm.
06:55Maybe she can hear.
06:56She can hear the thing.
06:57Hmm.
06:58Which I believe.
06:59But I don't believe it's a cat alarm.
07:00Yeah.
07:03This is tough.
07:04I think they're all kind of...
07:05So there's convent, there's cat, and there's...
07:06Clown.
07:07Clown.
07:08The three C's.
07:09That's the theme.
07:11I've swung to cat.
07:12I've swung to cat a bit.
07:14I think the clown, I believe.
07:16I believe the clown.
07:17And then it's top two, I'm not sure of.
07:19Five years in a convent.
07:2012 to 17, though, would be secondary school.
07:24I think it's the cat alarm.
07:25I think it's the cat.
07:26Yeah.
07:27Okay.
07:32I was never a clown in the circus.
07:34Oh!
07:35You wanted to be a clown in the circus.
07:37Desperately!
07:39I would have been such a cute little child clown.
07:42You would have been great.
07:43What would you mean a cat alarm?
07:44I can hear the like...
07:46It's like the...
07:47There's no sound that humans...
07:49It's like a little thin sound.
07:51I can hear like a cat.
07:52See, I felt your desire to be a clown so much
07:55that it felt like the truth.
07:57Great.
07:58And she had a name.
07:59Petunia.
08:00Thanks for watching.
