00:10Ladies and gentlemen, we have one more award for the Critics' Choice for Best Romantic Mystery.
00:16Now, this is the 20th win for this exceptional novelist, which is why we're here in her hometown of Founders
00:23Cove.
00:24Meet the author of the latest Selina St. Cloud mystery, Love is Murder, Alison Chandler.
00:31Yes!
00:43Oh, my.
00:49Whoa, 20 years, huh?
00:52We have to stop meeting like this.
00:54I don't think that there's really much left to say that hasn't already been said, except for the fact that
01:00I am in amazing company.
01:03I mean, Margaret Sterling, the winner of the Agatha's Choice Award.
01:08Lee Granway, my good, good friend, best mystery thriller.
01:12And Nikki Weston, where are you, Nikki?
01:15Best newcomer.
01:17And on behalf of Selina St. Cloud, thank you so much to our loyal readers, the Cloudies and Nash Gilbert,
01:26my wonderful friend.
01:28And so thank you so, so much.
01:34Okay, everyone, that does it for this year's awards.
01:37Do not forget about the book signing in the clubhouse after lunch.
01:40And the Taste of Founder's Cove, where you can get a taste of Founder's Chowder.
01:45We've been serving up seafood for more than half a century, so you know it's good.
01:49Thanks.
01:50Have a good one.
01:54To the last 20 years.
01:56And the next 20.
02:00Speaking of, Selina St. Cloud has had a brilliant career, hasn't she?
02:05But maybe it's time to give the old gal a rest.
02:08I don't know if you've been listening, but the old gal just won another major award and has made everyone
02:12a shit ton of money.
02:13And everyone at Brenner Publishing is eternally grateful.
02:16I'm grateful, believe me.
02:18But as your agent, if you want me to get you another contract with the same six-figure advance, well,
02:23you need to broaden your appeal.
02:26I'm appealing just as I am.
02:27Of course you are.
02:28Of course you are.
02:29But look around you, Ali.
02:30The convention is bigger and younger than ever this year.
02:33And unfortunately, your bloody sales have flatlined.
02:36Look, people under 40, they're not interested in romance.
02:40Oh, please, people under 40 don't know what they want.
02:43Thank you very much.
02:47But the studios do.
02:49Which is why, unfortunately, your million-dollar movie deal just fell apart.
02:53I'm sorry, Steve M. from the studio.
02:55He said they're not interested in another menopausal mystery.
02:59Fine.
02:59Report him to HR and bring the movie somewhere else.
03:13There you go.
03:13Thank you so much.
03:14Next.
03:16It's an honor to meet you, Miss Chandler.
03:17Oh, that's so sweet of you, person under 40.
03:20To confess, your books actually inspired me to start my True Crime podcast.
03:24I'm the one who broke the case.
03:25I'm the Staten Island Slayer.
03:26Oh.
03:27I don't have an app for podcasts.
03:28It's actually built into your phone.
03:29Oh.
03:30But what is that?
03:31Is that a Blackberry or a pager?
03:33Uh, okay.
03:34What did you say your name was?
03:35It's Andrea Walker, Andy for short.
03:37But can you make it out to Grammy?
03:39My grandma loves your books.
03:41Uh, Andrea Walker, you were on the Today Show.
03:44I think that you said my Selina St. Cloud books were inaccurate and unbelievable.
03:53Don't get me wrong.
03:54I think that there is space in the zeitgeist for escapist, boomer, fiction.
03:58You just can't exactly have team crumpets with a corpse next to you on the floor.
04:02Every sphincter opens.
04:03Okay.
04:05There you go.
04:07Hand up between us writers.
04:09Confesh isn't a word.
04:10Make the extra effort.
04:11Thanks for the tip.
04:13By the way, is there anywhere around here I can get some aspirin?
04:15I think I'm getting a headache from all the knowledge you're imparting.
04:18There's a gift shop in the lobby.
04:19It's closed for remodeling.
04:20Adulting is hard.
04:22Next!
04:38Excuse me.
04:39Aren't you the legendary Alison Chandler?
04:42I don't know about legendary.
04:44Hey, I saw you at Nash at lunch.
04:45Is everything okay?
04:46Nash loves giving notes of my books even after they're published.
04:49Say, do you want to join me for dinner?
04:51I was headed over to the Muddy Duck.
04:52You know, I've got a seminar tonight.
04:53I think I'm just going to unwind a little bit.
04:55Understood.
04:56See you tomorrow.
04:56Bye.
05:02A whiskey meat with a whiskey chaser, please.
05:11How's your headache?
05:13Better.
05:14I'm about to get worse.
05:16Don't worry.
05:17I won't bother you.
05:19I honestly didn't mean to insult you.
05:22Apology accepted.
05:27Aren't you going to apologize to me?
05:29Alison Chandler never apologizes.
05:32That is not true.
05:34And you're interrupting.
05:36Oh, I'm sure your fangirl won't mind.
05:39Oh, please.
05:40Actually, I was just leaving.
05:41I have a Zoom with my advertisers in ten,
05:44and they're talking big numbers.
05:46Well, don't let us keep you.
05:51You didn't have to chase her away.
05:53But I wanted you all to myself.
05:54Oh, sweetie, you have had way too much to drink.
05:56Maybe you haven't had enough?
05:58I've got a bottle of Dom upstairs,
06:00and I'm having trouble popping that cork.
06:03Has that line ever worked?
06:05There's always someone who craves a little bang as a Nash.
06:08Did I tell you I bought a little place
06:10on the other side of the lake,
06:12near the old mill, 33 Sandalwood Lane?
06:15You're not listening, are you?
06:17Of course I am listening.
06:19Tell me what's bothering you.
06:21Mm-hmm.
06:23Do you think my books are outdated?
06:27You know, I tell you the truth, Alison,
06:29then I've always believed in your talent.
06:31You have so damned much of it.
06:33I secretly hoped you'd base a character on me.
06:37Someday.
06:38But we both know you can do better than this last effort.
06:42Okay.
06:43Not what I wanted to hear.
06:44No, maybe not.
06:45But maybe what I needed to hear.
06:48Now that that's out of the way,
06:50shall we talk about what I need?
06:51Oh.
06:52I've got to go.
06:53I've got a seminar.
06:54Well, why don't you pop around a new place
06:56after all this is over?
06:57The key's under the mat.
06:58Good to know.
07:18I just love your new book.
07:20Well, thank you.
07:24Oh, my God!
07:56Noah!
07:57Let me drop it.
08:00Miss Chandler?
08:01Where's your boss?
08:02Detective Rossi got promoted two weeks ago.
08:04He's the Division Chief now.
08:05Who took his place?
08:07Jack Kerrigan, out of Baltimore.
08:09He's upstairs, but I can't take you up there.
08:13Detective Kerrigan,
08:14I have a witness who wants to speak to you.
08:15Santiago, we're taking statements downstairs.
08:17Alison Chandler, I'm a friend of the deceased.
08:20Yeah, we're taking statements downstairs.
08:21Miss Chandler is our honorary mayor and famous author.
08:24She wrote the Selina St. Cloud Mysteries.
08:26Oh, oh, never heard of them.
08:29Chief Rossi is a big fan.
08:31I don't mean to be rude.
08:32You cannot be here.
08:33This is a police investigation.
08:34A man committed suicide.
08:35Suicide?
08:36No.
08:36Nash Gilbert would have never committed suicide.
08:39You knew the victim?
08:4020 years.
08:41We had a drink a couple of hours ago.
08:43We talked.
08:44He propositioned me.
08:46Propositioned you?
08:48Turned him down?
08:48I always turned him down.
08:49It never bothered him.
08:50Yeah, well, something bothered him.
08:52He left a suicide note on that laptop.
08:57To die, to sleep.
09:00To sleep perchance, to dream for in that sleep of death.
09:04Thank you very much.
09:05Okay, like I said, an officer will take your statement downstairs.
09:07Doors over there.
09:08Thanks for your help.
09:12You know, I've written you lots of times.
09:16Well, what does that mean?
09:17He was a big city cop from the wrong side of the tracks who just a fortnight before traded
09:21in the chaos of the metropolis for small-town quiet, hoping that the distance would wash
09:27away the memories of a divorce that never really ended.
09:32What makes you think any of that is true?
09:35Well, first of all, I know that you just got here because you are staying in a hotel,
09:40but it is not the resort because you smell like the pine body wash from one of the budget
09:45motels on the beach.
09:47That tells me that you don't like wasting money, which is further confirmed by your wardrobe,
09:52which is clearly not new.
09:53I'm guessing that the choices are deliberately noir.
09:57It's the whole Sam Spade tough guy thing.
10:00The part about the messy divorce is a guess, but I bet I might.
10:07You're still over there.
10:15So that's the lady.
10:16Great.
10:16Thanks for filling me in.
10:17Thanks for the latte.
10:19I'll give you a call if anything else comes up.
10:21You're the best, Noah.
10:22What are you doing?
10:24I'm getting interviews for my story on Nash Gilbert.
10:26So you are here to exploit my friend's death?
10:29You're just jealous because I know how to get people to talk to me.
10:33Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got work to do.
10:46I am very good at talking to people, which is why I know that Nash's death was not a suicide,
10:51because he never would have quoted Shakespeare in a suicide note.
10:53He thought Shakespeare was an overrated hack in tights,
10:55and he just bought a vacation home near the old mill on the other side of the lake,
10:58which a person doesn't do if they're going to do a swan dive off a balcony.
11:07You're right, and you're wrong.
11:09I am not wrong.
11:12Nash's death was murder not because of your whack theories,
11:14but because there's actual forensic evidence that someone was in the room with him when he went off that balcony.
11:20Like what?
11:21First, the doors in all the guest rooms have electronic locks.
11:26Security told me that Nash's door was unlocked from the inside five minutes after his death.
11:30Second, there was a scuff on the base of the land consistent with his struggle.
11:33And third, there were drag marks on the carpet indicating that someone dragged Nash to that balcony.
11:39Trust me, as soon as security tells the cops about the locks, they'll pivot from suicide to murder.
11:45Well, even if that is true, you are still exploiting someone's death by writing some dime-store novel version of
11:52it for the internet.
11:54But that was a dime-store.
11:56Oh.
12:04He was a friend and a mentor, and he will be missed by everyone. Thank you.
12:13Sounded like an insta-quote to me.
12:18I'm grieving the loss of a friend. A good friend. I cared for.
12:22I'm going to find out what happened, and you better not get in my way.
12:26Allison, Gemma.
12:28Reed Sterling, come here.
12:31I didn't think you were going to make it this year.
12:33I got a call from my mother.
12:34Poor Margo is going apoplectic over Nash Calvert,
12:37so I jumped on the standby flight, and here I am.
12:41Who's Margo?
12:42Margaret Sterling, the novelist. Sorry, you're...
12:45A person who's just sleeping.
12:47Nice to meet you.
12:50How you holding up?
12:51I am sick of talking about me.
12:54I want to hear about your new girlfriend.
12:57Ooh, how do you know I have a new girlfriend?
12:59Well, I saw the ring on your finger.
13:01It's not a wedding band, but a promise ring, perhaps?
13:03Well, you know, I just thought it was finally time to take the plunge, you know, settle down.
13:07My business is going well. It's an hour and hour kind of thing.
13:10Reed, I am so happy for you.
13:12Well, the problem is, is that I just can't seem to get over my crush on you.
13:17And I was thinking...
13:19You okay?
13:20Yeah, there's just a guy over there who's trying really hard not to be noticed.
13:24I don't see anybody.
13:26It's nothing.
13:28Look, I gotta go, and you should check in.
13:31Already done.
13:32Room 437.
13:34It's so good to see you.
13:36Catch you later, Alicad.
13:37Okay.
13:38Okay.
13:43Okay.
13:57Where's the key?
14:19What are you doing here?
14:21You said that Nash just bought a vacation house on the other side of the lake, so I gave my
14:25chatbot the search parameters, and here we are.
14:28Chatbot?
14:29AI. It's a brave new world.
14:30I better be nicer to my toaster.
14:32Speaking of tech, what's the deal with the security cameras at the resort?
14:36It's a privacy thing, according to town council.
14:39So if people have them, they just don't work.
14:41Right.
14:42Because that's considered what?
14:44Witchcraft?
14:44Oh, laugh it up.
14:45They burned women at the stake here in 1691.
14:48Pretty sure that it was Salem in 1692.
14:50Where do you think they got the idea?
14:53Good luck with your investigation.
14:55Oh, I solved mysteries for a living.
14:57I think I'm good to go.
14:58But are you, though?
15:00Because you make up evidence, and this is legit.
15:03Anyway, better go put this key back under the mat where it belongs.
15:06Oh, I know what you're doing.
15:08Yeah, you're trying to get in my head.
15:09But guess what?
15:10It's not going to work, because I'm canceling you.
15:13Isn't that what people from your generation do to people who annoy them?
15:17They cancel them, and you are canceled.
15:20I can't even.
15:24That's not a sentence!
15:34That's not a sentence!
15:54That's not a sentence!
15:55That's not a sentence!
15:56That's not a sentence!
15:58That's not a sentence!
16:00That's not a sentence!
16:00That's not a sentence!
16:00That's not a sentence!
16:00That's not a sentence!
16:01That's not a sentence!
16:03That's a sentence!
16:04That's not a sentence!
16:06That's not a sentence!

18:07you know he was my stepfather oh there was a photo of you in nash's house with an inscription on
18:12the
18:12back things were complicated is that why you went to see him when you got here i never said i
18:18saw him
18:18there were blue fibers on the armchair in nash's study and they perfectly matched the tassels on your bag
18:27is there somewhere you and i can talk just the two of us
18:32absolutely
18:37nash and my mom got married when i was five he ignored me until three years ago when she died
18:43and that's when things got complicated my mother came from old money she left me millions but nash
18:50controlled the trust so you went to see him when you got here to talk about it he told me
18:54that
18:54everything's been invested but the only thing he ever invested in was a vacation house for himself
18:59so i still haven't gotten a penny and now i have to pay for my own wedding
19:04it's none of my business but you and tate just broke up and now you're marrying someone you just met
19:10we've actually known each other for a while um we went to see a play together before i flew up
19:15here
19:16and he drove me home afterwards and proposed i had really hoped that nash would understand that now
19:24we needed the money to start our new lives but he didn't care and then i got mad at him
19:32and now he's dead
19:34it's gonna be okay
19:36ash is the one who got me my first job
19:38i was ghostwriting this book for someone that he knew and it's not like i even ever got any credit
19:43for it because the author was totally paranoid about being found out
19:47but still if it wasn't for that first gig i might never have had the confidence to rate at all
19:55nikki i need you to really think about who could have hated your stepfather enough to kill him
20:01i don't know um maybe talk to lee granway
20:05lee yeah they used to yell at each other all the time when i was a kid
20:09and i heard that they got into a fight yesterday
20:15hey
20:16oh no no no no no
20:18my lips are sealed this time
20:20you are not gonna bamboozle me into telling you anything about nikki
20:24like the fact that nash got her a ghostwriting job or that she just inherited a boatload of dough
20:29how do you know that
20:31tate malaney was wearing a hoodie that said iron robot on the back
20:34it's a 90s alternative rock band

20:40it's a dive bar next to the movie theater
20:42so i went there bought him a drink and he spilled the tea
20:45i could never do that
20:47well nikki wouldn't talk to me but she talked to you

21:25i bet your mother used it
21:26a lot

21:31and before you start in on how i'm drawn to solving mysteries because of her
21:33i've tried to find her
21:34but i can't
21:36at least not yet
21:37so
21:37i'd much rather talk about coffee
21:43what i wanted to say is that i'm impressed with you
21:45you got in and out of that hotel room before kerrigan even knew you were there
21:50i got kicked out
21:51it's because you're famous and people notice you
21:53well aren't you an internet celebrity person?
21:55yeah i was for like a hot second but
21:57truth is all that stuff about advertisers with big dollars was total bullshit
22:01what happened?
22:02when i was in college
22:04i wrote a story on the staten island slayer
22:06and someone said that i could make a whole bunch of money if i turned it into a podcast
22:09so i did
22:10and it went viral
22:11and i started making bucket loads of money
22:13and it was all awesome
22:15until my manager stole literally everything from me
22:18including the rights to my name the andy walker true crime show
22:21didn't you read your contract?
22:22of course i read my contract
22:24i just didn't understand it
22:26anyway
22:26i went back to writing
22:27which is what i've always wanted to do in the first place
22:29that's why i came to this convention to try and find a book agent
22:32but everyone said no
22:33because they think my podcast is shit
22:35and it is shit
22:36but it's not my podcast
22:38so now you know how deeply ironic and desperate my life is
22:40oh

24:15no plates
24:16okay
24:16do either of you have anyone that would have any reason to want to hurt you?
24:19no
24:20well maybe
24:21i mean we've been asking people about Nash's murder
24:23did i not tell you to stay away from the investigation?
24:25well you didn't tell me that i couldn't ask people questions
24:28i have a constitutional right to ask questions of anyone i want to ask questions of
24:32which is a run-on sentence with a double negative ending and a preposition
24:36but i'm angry so just deal with it
24:39put on a bolo on a black suv no tags
24:42also have patrol check the woods off the interstate
24:44people are always getting rid of interesting things up there
24:46like what?
24:47i'll leave that to your vivid imagination
24:48huh
24:52i'm no expert on reading people but i'm loving this enemies to lovers arc for you too
24:57you must have hit your head
25:08allie
25:08i thought you had a seminar this morning
25:10oh well we uh we finished early so i thought i'd work on my swing
25:17what?
25:18oh
25:19oh
25:20need a little more practice
25:21i learned a long time ago not to underestimate you
25:24Nash used to say that
25:26it's so strange that he is gone
25:28yeah even stranger the police think it's murder not suicide
25:30i heard
25:31i heard i also heard that yesterday wasn't the first time that you and Nash blew up at each other
25:37you've been talking to nicky
25:39did she tell you what the arguments were about?
25:41i'm guessing they had something to do with the ledger that Nash had under his desk
25:49you know when you and i first started we lived and died by the reviews of three or four major
25:53critics
25:54so when i heard Nash Gilbert's opinion was for sale i signed up
25:58i paid the bastard for five years
26:01why'd you stop?
26:02oh critics lost their clout because of all the self-appointed reviewers online
26:08i saw Nash the day before he died
26:10he tried blackmailing me again
26:12wasn't happy when i said no
26:13so you didn't start paying him again?
26:16if there's another set of numbers in that ledger
26:18Nash was scamming someone else
26:19and before you ask about an alibi
26:21i was at the muddy duck till midnight the night of the murder
26:23the police are gonna want you to prove that
26:25well i can
26:29Nash went off the balcony at 11 30 p.m. i was still at the bar at 11 53
26:33see for yourself
26:34right under the picture
26:40Ms. Chandler
26:45look i know you think that i'm an arrogant little shit
26:47but i just wanted to tell you that i'm sorry for the way that things ended yesterday
26:51i sincerely doubt that
26:53okay yes i have said some mean things about your work
26:56but the reality is
27:00you're a best-selling author
27:01to be your assistant and learn from someone like you is the chance of a lifetime
27:05so if the job offer is still available
27:09absolutely not
27:12yeah
27:13someone tried to kill us
27:16and if they succeed we will be equally dead
27:20so
27:22we're equal partners or not partners at all
27:25does this mean we share a byline?
27:28yes
27:29but you're on probation
27:30it wouldn't be the first time
27:31why am i not surprised
27:32okay so i spoke to noah and they found the suv
27:35it was reported stolen three hours before it nearly ran us over
27:38any prints?
27:39no it was wiped clean
27:40but they did find a partial under the steering wheel so they're working on a match
27:43well i spoke to lee
27:44and he's got an alibi for the night of the murder
27:48yeah
27:48so does nikki
27:49one of her fans said that she was rehearsing a tiktok video when Nash did his swan dive
27:53so we're nowhere unless we find more evidence
27:56did Nash have a car here?
28:00oh boy
28:02ladies
28:03how can i help?
28:04we were working on a novel on Nash Gilbert
28:05and we thought we'd come check out his car
28:07oh maybe she'll write about something else
28:08like an annoying cop with a big ego and a small jurisdiction
28:13hey you missed something
28:16what's that?

30:51lee was at the muddy dock
30:52when nash got murdered
30:53he's got a cell phone video
30:54to prove it
30:55nash gilbert died at 11 30 p.m
30:57witnesses have lee granway
30:58exiting the pub
30:59at 10 30 p.m
31:00well they're wrong
31:00cell phones don't lie
31:01yeah
31:02sorry to barge in
31:02but if you know how to access
31:03the metadata
31:04you can change the date
31:05and time
31:05on a cell phone
31:06there you have it
31:06ignore her
31:07i'm afraid that's precisely
31:09what the killer did in mr granway's
31:11new novel
31:11but that doesn't mean
31:12she's right ali
31:15when i heard what happened to nash
31:16i knew i was going to be a suspect
31:18so
31:20i did what i had to do
31:22freedom is right
31:27i didn't kill anyone
31:28anything you say
31:28anything you say can
31:29and will be used against you
31:30in the court of law
31:31you have the right to return
31:32you're okay
31:33i'm never wrong about these things
31:35ali you are looking a little pale
31:37but keep shopping
31:38the lobby's open again
31:39go get like an energy bar or something
31:41i'll be fine
31:42i'll be fine
32:11come in
32:11ross you couldn't make it so
32:13you're stuck with me
32:14what uh
32:16what can i do for you
32:16i am told that
32:18this is what people do when they want someone to talk to them
32:21well i'm told that people do that when they want to apologize to someone
32:25fine
32:25i got a little overly dramatic yesterday and i'm sorry
32:29so donuts
32:32yeah
32:33yes please
32:37what i also wanted to say is that
32:39i've known lee granway for decades
32:42we went to college together
32:44he's a close friend
32:45nothing romantic though but
32:47but close
32:48but just
32:49not in a romantic way
32:51okay so just a close non-romantic friend who falsified evidence
32:55what was he supposed to do he knew you were gonna ask for an alibi
32:57yep
32:57so it's my fault that your boyfriend lied to the authorities
32:59first
33:00he is not my boyfriend
33:01second he did not kill nash
33:03the lab confirmed
33:05he falsified the metadata on his cell
33:07what he did was self-protective
33:09it came from a place of fear
33:11not guilt
33:11yeah or maybe your close non-romantic ex-boyfriend is simply playing you
33:15you know what
33:15i came here
33:16trying to share some valuable personal insight
33:19and all i've gotten
33:20is sarcasm and disrespect
33:23sarcasm and disrespect
33:23where have i heard
33:24oh isn't that what's luna st cloud says to detective frank bearer at the end of your first novel
33:28oh i knew you were lying when you said you hadn't heard of my books
33:32yeah because i thought you needed a good taste of humble pie
33:34oh well you need to go on a
33:37diet
33:56oh my god did your luggage explode
33:59lose the tune okay we've got work to do
34:04this is called an investigation board
34:07the police use them all the time
34:08introspective i think i know what an investigation board is okay you lose the tune go great
34:12so we've got two suspects
34:14lee granway
34:16and nikki weston
34:17nikki isn't a suspect
34:18she benefits from nash's death
34:20you can't be sympathetic and a suspect at the same time
34:22it happens all the time in your books
34:24not all the time
34:26would you please just listen to me
34:27nikki has an alibi
34:29and lee doesn't
34:30okay but that
34:30before you interrupt me
34:32it's kind of sus that he forged evidence
34:34but it doesn't prove that he killed nash
34:36even though he's been arrested for it
34:38okay keep going
34:39then there's the ledger
34:40which is our key piece of evidence
34:42it documents that lee was paying nash
34:44but there's another set of numbers
34:46which could mean there's another suspect out there
34:50okay if you know who it is
34:51spit it out
34:52this is actually the part where we work together
34:54remember
34:55you spit some crackpot theory
34:56and i find the evidence
34:58well we didn't need a board for that
35:00and decides what kind of board is this
35:02it's a mess
35:03and you need photos for a wheel board
35:07wait a minute
35:11could there be another secret that nash was hiding
35:15like what
35:16nash got nikki a ghostwriting job
35:18for no credit
35:19she said that the author was paranoid
35:22that her readers were gonna find out
35:23which means
35:24nash could have been blackmailing the author
35:29how did you figure me out
35:30there was a fan
35:31taking pictures
35:33just before lee got arrested
35:34and
35:34she said that
35:35you and nikki have the same classic style
35:37it's no wonder they're the same
35:39nikki wrote your book
35:40as well as her own
35:41i was terrified
35:42that my audience would think
35:44i'd lost my touch
35:45if they knew i used a ghostwriter
35:46so nash threatened to go public
35:48and you paid him to keep it quiet
35:49i did
35:50for eight months
35:51but then i told him i was done
35:53it's better to live with the consequences
35:55than live with the lie
35:56but please
35:57don't tell reed
35:59yeah
36:00he worries so much about money
36:02even though he tells me not to
36:03but reed's business is doing great
36:05no not as great as he wants you to believe
36:07he's downtown right now
36:09shopping for things he can't afford
36:11paid to ask
36:13i was at my screening that night
36:17two hundred people saw me
36:20now i'm the one getting a headache
36:23the gift shop in the lobbies reopened
36:25maybe an energy bar would help
36:26reed said exactly the same thing
36:28maybe the two of you need an energy bar
36:30wait
36:32were those his exact words
36:33the gift shop reopened
36:35why are we talking about the gift shop
36:37because explain to me
36:38how reed would know that the gift shop was ever closed
36:40if he didn't get here until after it reopened
36:43which was after nash died
36:45well he couldn't
36:46unless he was here before nash's death
36:49what if
36:50reed drove up here from hartford
36:51the day of the murder
36:52killed nash
36:53drove back to hartford overnight
36:54and then called the flight back up here the next morning
36:56do you have a shred of evidence
36:58to support anything you just said
36:59no
36:59but i bet we can find something in his room
37:02437
37:03he told me when he checked in
37:04and he's downtown shopping
37:08okay
37:09i'll take the dresser
37:10you take the closet

37:23oh my god
37:25look at this
37:26what's in the pocket
37:28a ticket from the harvard rep theater
37:30two nights before the murder
37:31mickey said she went to go see a play with her new boyfriend
37:34on the wednesday before she got here
37:35what if reed is the new boyfriend
37:37reed needed the money
37:38and he already knew nikki from the conventions
37:40and she told him she was inheriting her mom's estate
37:42so he turned up the charm and got her to dump tape
37:44but when nikki told reed that nash wouldn't give her a dime
37:47he drove up here to try and convince him
37:48and then when nash said no
37:50he pushed him over the balcony
37:51look at the play
37:52they saw in hartford

41:19them a big round of applause
41:25all right look that's the end of our formal program but before we enjoy some music let's
41:31all raise a glass in memory of our dear friend nash gilbert

41:46not the time or the place agreed hey ali i just wanted to thank you for everything you've
41:52done for us oh you know i love a good happily ever after
