(mysterious music)

- Effie said the crown
will ask the judge

To overturn the verdict
in the morning.

I'll be released by noon.

- That's wonderful.

I can hardly stand
the thought of you

Spending one more night here.

- Me neither.

Although, the warden
has extended an olive branch

In light of my wrongful
imprisonment.

He's invited me
to a family dinner.

- Oh.
(chuckling)

- Ah.

- Dinner will be served shortly.

- And you've lived behind
these prison walls

With your mother and father
your whole life?

- I have.

- That's quite something.

- I suppose I'm just a bird
in a gilded cage.

(chuckling)

- Oh, I meant to say
thank you again

For letting me use
this dress for the evening.

- It's fine. I don't
wear it anymore.

(sighs)

- So, your mother tells me
that you're engaged.

Congratulations.

- Thank you.

(door closing)

Oh, that must be him now.

- Ah. Apologies for
my lateness, darling.

(chuckling)

- Leslie garland?

- Julia ogden.

(mysterious music)

What a surprise to see you here.

(gasps)
- yes. What a surprise.

- You two know each other?

- Yes. Julia used to be
my sister-in-law.

That is, before my brother
was murdered

And she very hastily remarried.

Hmm.

- Um...

Dr. Ogden is an inmate
at the prison now.

(chuckling)
- you don't say.

Well, you're certainly
not dressed like one.

- I was accused of a crime
which I didn't commit

And I've been exonerated.

I simply need to meet
with the judge in the morning.

- Not much seems
to stick you, I guess.

- Oh, was dr. Ogden the woman

Who caused you to leave
the crown attorney's office?

- Oh, come now.

It's all water under the bridge.

I'm an estate lawyer now.

Left the sordid world
of crime behind.

Look, julia, I know our paths
have diverged somewhat,

But I can assure you
there's no hard feelings

On my end, hmm?

Darling?

(soft eerie music)

- Thank you, jane.

- I'll have to read
your book, dr. Ogden.

- Hmm. You've written
a book, have you?

- Yes, with my husband, william.

- Hmm.
- I'm thinking of writing

One myself, on prison reform.

- Joseph has set up
gardens for the inmates.

And a library.

- They do have a calming effect.

Of course, the strongest
deterrent to recidivism

Is corporal punishment.

- To be frank, I don't believe
that corporal punishment

Is ever appropriate.

- Well, considering
you're an inmate,

I can see why
you hold that opinion.

- More peas?

- Oh, damn.
(chuckling)

I've spilled mustard
on my jacket.

- You put too much
on your beef.

You always do.

(sighs)

- Lauren...

Your jewelry is stunning.

- Thank you. I inherited
some of my grandmother's.

- May I ask about your locket?
It seems to be broken?

- I know. Silly, really,
that I keep wearing it,

But it has sentimental value.

(joseph groaning,
clearing throat)

- Sarah, you shouldn't have
brought that drink to mr. Hymus.

- He asked for it, ma'am.

- I don't know why you don't
listen to me, joseph.

Ice is bad for the constitution.

Wouldn't you agree, dr. Ogden?

- Well, I actually have never
heard that theory.

- Mother believes all drinks
should be tepid.

(joseph groaning)

- Oh, gee. I'm sorry.

- You sure you're all right,
sir?

- It's just the beef
is poorly cooked.

As usual.

- Hmm.

- Hence the need to disguise
it with mustard.

(joseph clearing throat)

Ah, jane? Here.

Get this stain out for me,
would you?

Everyone, we will reconvene
in the drawing room

In a quarter of an hour.

I'll bring up some
imperial tokay from the cellar.

- Until then, I will be
resting in my room.

- As will I.

- Please feel free to make
yourself comfortable

In the drawing room.

There's more wine in there.

You seem to be enjoying it.

(door closing)

(sighs)

(clearing throat)
- mind if I smoke?

- Mm. I've never cared
for cigar smoke, actually.

- Mm. No bother.

Over time,
you'll hardly notice it.

I was just with joseph
in his study.

He's got some wonderful cigars.

- Is everyone coming soon?

I've just done this baked alaska
and it doesn't last long.

- Oh, it looks heavenly, sarah.

What were you in prison for?

Stealing the soul
of a great chef?

(chuckling)

The beef aside, of course.

- I think I'll go find
mr. Hymus.

I'm looking forward
to that tokay.

- Well, while you're up,

See if you can't find
my fiancée, hmm?

Oh, and tell her to hurry.

This dessert will not
take long to melt.

- Mr. Hymus?

Dear god!

- Dr. Ogden! What's happened?

- I just found him like this.
- Oh. Is he dead?

- What's all this?

Dear god. Jane, telephone
the police immediately.

- Leslie?

- Joseph! Joseph!

- Mother! Wha-what's going on?

- Your father's been stabbed.

- How is that possible?

I locked both of the doors
before dinner!

All of the windows are locked!

No one could have
gotten in from outside!

- Well, if that's true...

It means one of us
is a murderer.

(breathing shakily)

(lauren): What were you
doing here?

- I came looking for your father

And I found him lying here.

- Why were you hovering
over him?

- I was checking to see
if he was alive!

- Julia, step away
from the body.

- I will not.

The sooner I examine him,

The better chance we'll have
of knowing what happened.

- Or the better chance you'll
have of disguising what you did!

- Lauren, why would
dr. Ogden kill your father?

- Maybe lauren is right.
Julia, step away.

- Oh, for goodness' sake!

- The police said they won't
be here for hours.

- They're not coming
immediately?

Oh, these wretched police!

- Everyone, where were you
right before

Dr. Ogden discovered mr. Hymus?

- I was resting in my room.
- As was I.

- I was cleaning
mr. Hymus's jacket.

I got all the mustard off.
I can show you.

- And I was browning
the meringue

On the baked alaska.

- And where were you,
mr. Garland,

Before you came into the drawing
room and spoke to me?

- I told you.
I was with joseph in his study

And I remained there
when he stepped out.

Poor man.

- Well, that's everyone
accounted for, then.

(screaming)
- mother!

- What is that dreadful
woman doing?

(gasping)

- I'm taking this
to the kitchen.

I'll need cocoa
and a paintbrush.

(suspenseful music)

- So, everyone has their
own different--

- Fingermarks, yes.

The oils naturally present
in the human hand

Leave the trace
of a unique pattern.

- Amazing.

- I can see some clear
fingermarks.

- Well, now what?

- We'll lock this
in the cupboard

And then I'll take everyone's
fingermarks to compare.

I'll need an ink pot,
a cloth and several cards.

(upbeat jazzy music)

(indistinct chatter)

(chuckling)

- I love this song.

- It's one of my favourites.

- So, how are you settling
into university life?

- It's hard.

Not everyone's welcoming.

But in here?
Well, it's better.

- Hmm.
- All my fraternity brothers

Already feel like...
Well, brothers.

- All right, all right!

Pack it up, everyone!
Pack it up!

- Gentlemen, what's the trouble?

- This hall's been booked
already by theta gamma delta,

So, uh, clear out!

- We booked this hall
with the dean. Isn't that right?

- Well, he unbooked it.

The party's over, fellas!

- You don't tell me what to do.

- Harold fainted outside!
He needs help!

(breathing heavily)

- Let's go.

(panicked chatter)

- Please let us through.

We have a medical examiner here.

- He's dead.

- I saw him, just before
he fell to the ground.

He was walking,
then he starting coughing,

Like he was choking.

- Was he alone?
- Yes.

It was like he suddenly
couldn't breathe.

I waved at him,
tried to ask him

What was wrong,
but he couldn't speak.

- Something was constricting
his windpipe.

- This doesn't sound right.

- Run to a callbox.

Telephone station house #4,
ask for detective murdoch.

- Yes, ma'am.
- What do you think, violet?

- Well...

I see some watery blood
on his collar, still wet.

- He coughed it up
before he died?

- This doesn't just happen
to a healthy young man.

- Staying late
this evening, sir?

- Yes. Margaret's sister
is visiting.

She could not only talk
for England,

But the whole of
the bloody british isles!

- Ah, yes. You've mentioned her.

- Mm. I'm glad it worked out
for julia.

She comes home tomorrow?

- Yes. And I plan to spoil her.

(chuckling)
- got some new

Math equations to look over?

(brackenreid laughs)

- No. Biology.

- No rest for the wicked,
me ol' mucker!

- All right. That's everyone.

- Yes. Everyone but you.

- Thank you, mr. Garland.

- Jane, come here.

Where is my gold clock?

- I don't know.

- It always sits on this shelf.

Where has it gone?

- Honestly, I couldn't say.

I-I can't remember
when I saw it last.

- Are you sure it hasn't fallen
into an apron pocket?

- Don't accuse me.
I'm not a thief.

- No. You are an inmate
of the prison.

- That should do it.

Now that we have everyone's
fingermarks on these cards,

We just need to compare it
to those that were on the knife.

- Very good. Shall we?

(mysterious music)

- What have you, miss hart?

- Well, a young man named
harold tandy,

He collapsed at the university.

He coughed up water
mixed with blood

Right before he died.

- What would cause that?

- It's too soon
for me to speculate.

- Mr. Buchanan.
- Hello, detective.

- Were there any witnesses?

- Just one.
A fraternity brother of mine.

He said harold was alone
when he fell to the ground.

- Hmm. Wa-was he
someone you knew?

- Not well.

But I know harold's lady friend.

- Hmm. Well, perhaps
she can inform us

Of his whereabouts earlier
in the evening.

(crying)

Oh! You seem to have spilled
a bit of paint on your--

- I was cleaning up when you
called me about harold.

(sniffling)

- I understand you were
seeing mr. Tandy?

- I told the detective
that you two were together.

- Harold was always so cautious

Of telling anyone about us.

Only a few people knew.

- When was the last
time you saw him?

- Just this morning,
at the library.

- Ah... How did he seem?

- He was fine.

Which is why what happened
later was such a shock.

- And what was that?

- He put a letter in my mailbox
breaking it off with me.

He said he never wanted
to see me again.

It didn't make sense.

(crying)

- I can't believe
the knife is gone.

Someone broke the lock!
- Indeed.

And you were the last
one seen with the knife.

- Mr. Garland,

Whatever enmity you still
harbour against me,

Please let it go.

This is neither the time
nor the place.

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

(sniffing)

What is that smell?

(sniffing)
it's...

It's coming from the ice.
Smells like mothballs.

- You're right.

I think it's camphor.

- Why would there be
camphor in the ice?

- Camphor is a poison.

Didn't mrs. Hymus say that
every time the warden

Had a drink, he felt sick?

- Yes.

And he was the only one
who had drinks with ice.

- So who would usually
make his drinks?

- That would have to be sarah.

- Yes?

- Sarah, I've noticed something
unusual about the ice...

Sarah?
- Sarah!

(sighs)

- Why were you poisoning
the warden?

- Honestly, dr. Ogden...

I would never kill anyone.

- You are a convicted
criminal, though.

- I served my time.

And it wasn't
for anything violent.

I just wrote my boss's name
on some cheques, that's all.

- You laced the warden's ice
with camphor, sarah.

That's a serious offense.

- I knew it wouldn't kill him,

Just make him bilious.

The old coot deserved it.

- Well, why did you have such
animosity toward him?

- Didn't you see what he does
to inmates in that prison?

Flogs them for
the littlest thing!

I've had friends left half-dead
from his beatings.

- Julia.

- What is it?

- Someone's burning
these papers.

- Looks like someone's lists
and inventories.

- I recognize the handwriting.

These were written by mr. Hymus.

- He was just throwing them out.

I use them to get the fire lit.

- You didn't find the knife?

- No. I've searched everywhere.

Besides, the baked alaska sarah
brought into the drawing room

Proves that she was
in the kitchen

When mr. Hymus was killed.

- Meringue will burn
in a heartbeat

If you don't watch it
every second.

I never saw the warden.

On my word!

- Well, I am loath to take
the word of a criminal,

But perhaps mrs. Green
is not the killer, after all.

(buchanan): What was harold
doing during the day?

- I think he was with
miss harris.

- We know mr. Tandy
was with miss harris earlier,

But what was he doing
later in the day?

- Well, we was all
at the house together.

He was studying in the main room
just before dinner,

And then we all went
to the hall for the dance.

- And why would mr. Tandy
be walking outside alone?

- Maybe he just needed some air?

I don't know, detective.

- Right.

Thank you, gentlemen.
That will be all.

If I have any further questions,
I'll let you know.

- These are my brothers.

I don't think they're lying.

- You were with everyone
at the fraternity house?

- I had two classes,
then I took miss hart

Out for dinner before the dance.

- Mr. Tandy was new
to iota delta phi, yes?

- Yes.

He was being initiated
next week.

- I've heard that some of these
fraternity initiations

Can be quite dangerous.

- Not these fellows.

They were planning nothing more
than making him drink

Rye while doing a handstand.

- Hmm.

Hardly what killed mr. Tandy.

But, still, if you could
ask around,

Just to be sure he was

Where your fraternity brothers
say he was.

- Sure thing.

- How well did you
know the warden?

- Well enough.

He was to be my
father-in-law, after all.

- So, who in this house
would want to kill him?

- I have no idea.

Sarah was very upset about
her past experiences

In prison with the warden,

But jane is a current inmate.

- For a violent offense?

- Well, lauren says it
was self-defense.

- Are jane and lauren friends?

- Yes.

Apparently, the warden
was constantly shouting at jane,

How she had scorched his shirts,

Or not waxed the floors
properly, et cetera.

He could be a real tyrant
when he wanted to be.

- And yet she kept
working for him?

- Well, I imagine
it's preferable to being

Held behind bars.

Wouldn't you say, julia?

- Perhaps she had grown tired
of his abuse.

I think a conversation with jane
may be in order.

- I already told you:

I was cleaning
the warden's jacket.

- Yes, but there was
approximately ten minutes

Between the end of dinner
and when mr. Hymus was killed.

- And I was all the way
at the back of the house

At the washtub.

- I understand you
and the warden

Had a contentious relationship.

- Relationship?

That man treated me like dirt.

End of story.

- Were you fed up?

Did he push you too far
and you finally snapped?

- It never got that bad.

Lauren always stuck up for me.

Besides, do you really think
I would do anything

That would keep me in prison
longer than I have to be?

- I've seen people do
all manner of things

When they get desperate.

- Well, I didn't hate him
as much as some here.

- Oh?

- You know what I mean.

Mrs. Hymus and the warden?

She hated him.

She was always yelling at him.

If there's anyone here
who's glad he's dead, it's her.

(tense music)

- We did have our disagreements.

- Well, jane told us

That you were constantly
angry at mr. Hymus.

- My husband gave me
a beautiful home

And everything
I could've asked for.

I'm happy.

Or I was.

- Forgive me for saying this,
mrs. Hymus,

But I got the impression
that you weren't.

- I'll admit, living inside
the enclosure of prison walls

Is... A strain.

- Lauren told me you never
went near the prison.

In fact, you hardly leave
the house at all.

- Why would I?

To speak with oafish guards?

To teach degenerate
prisoners cross stitch?

- You don't like it here?

- Who would?

I hate living as we do.

And my husband was the most
intransigent man on earth.

But I cleave to my husband,
as the bible says.

I am a good woman.

- Come now, mrs. Hymus--
- leslie, stop!

Could you leave us for a moment?

I would like to speak
with dr. Ogden privately.

- Very well.

- Please.

(whispering): It was leslie.

- What?
- Joseph hated him.

- But leslie told me
your husband

Couldn't wait for the wedding.

- Ha. He would.

I'll wager leslie also told you

That he was very successful.

Both lies.

- So, mr. Hymus
was against the marriage?

- They fought only
a few nights ago.

Joseph told him that if
he didn't get his life together,

He would see to it
that the marriage was off.

- But is leslie really
that attached to lauren?

Enough to cause
your husband harm?

- No, I don't believe
they are love's young dream.

But joseph was planning on
giving leslie a sizable dowry.

(suspenseful music)

(indistinct chatter)

- Any findings yet, miss hart?

- He has scratches on the top
of his forehead

And his left ear,
deep enough to draw blood.

- Hmm. These wounds are recent?

- They appear to have been made
within the last 24 hours.

- Any idea what may
have caused those?

- Hard to say.

- You mentioned
that he coughed up

Watery blood before he died?

- Indeed.

The only time I've seen
that is in a drowning victim.

But this man was walking
on dry land.

(sighs)

- Come now, julia.

You really are
stretching things.

Joseph loved me like a son.

- You may be alone
in that opinion.

- Well, what does it matter
anyway, hmm?

You know I didn't do this.
- I know no such thing.

- Well, I do. As I told you,

After dinner,
I went to the water closet

And then I went to joseph's
study and I--

- What?

(scoffs)

- The cellar door.

- What about it?

- It's always kept shut.
Mr. Hymus is the only one

Allowed to go down there.

- And?

- Well, uh, after dinner

I noticed the cellar door
was ajar

And so, naturally when
I saw joseph in the study,

I asked him if he'd already
gotten the tokay.

But he said no,

That he hadn't gone down
to the cellar yet.

(mysterious music)

- Well, it's late enough
that margaret's sister

Should be in bed now.

That's my excuse.

How come you're burning
the midnight oil?

- Well, the nanny assures me
that susannah has gone to sleep,

So I thought I would continue
to work

Until julia returns home.

- Ah, mr. Buchanan.

What brings you
to our station house?

- Ah, nothing good, I'm afraid.
I'm assisting the detective.

- Oh?
- Mr. Buchanan was present

When a man died
at the university.

We suspect foul play.

- Oh, well, I'm sorry
to hear about that.

I'll leave you to it.
Good evening, gentlemen.

- I've learned that all
my fraternity brothers

Went swimming at the pool
before the dance.

- So, they lied.

What were they hiding?

- Well, they weren't supposed
to be there.

It's against university policy.

I'll give you three
guesses as to why.

- I understand.

Was mr. Tandy with them?

- Yes.
And there's something else.

It's-it's probably nothing.
Um...

- Please.

- On my way here,
someone stopped me to ask

About harold. They said they saw
the iota delta phi brothers

Leave the pool.

- And was mr. Tandy with them?

- They saw a group
of iota delta phi leave.

But nathaniel and harold
weren't with them.

- So, mr. Woodson,
the only witness

To mr. Tandy's death
out on the street,

Was also with him alone
at the pool just prior?

(tense music)

- What exactly
are we looking for?

- Anything out of the ordinary.

A button, a brooch, cigar ash.

- Cigar ash?

I don't like what
you're implying, julia.

- Did you turn out the lights,
mr. Garland?

What are you doing,
mr. Garland?

Stay away from me!

(bottles clanking)

(glass shattering)

- Dodgy wiring, I guess.

Oh, pity about the wine, though.

(sighs)
- yeah. Let's keep looking.

- Mm.

Dear god!

- What is it?

- 1892 chateau latour.

The old man had been
holding out on me. Huh.

- For goodness sake.

Mrs. Hymus's shawl.

She had this on at dinner.

- What would she be doing
down here?

She never touched a drop.

There's blood all over it.

- I don't think she was down
here for the wine.

- Mrs. Hymus killed her husband.

- I don't know what you mean.

- Joseph hates it when
anyone comes down here

Except for himself.

- Don't lie to us, mrs. Hymus.

- How dare you!

- Mrs. Hymus, we know
you were in the cellar tonight.

- Fine.

Yes.

I come down here to drink.

It dulls my pain.

I hate this house.

And I hated joseph.
He was a tyrant.

But I didn't kill him.

- Then how do you explain this?

- What is this?

- It's your shawl, mrs. Hymus,

With your husband's blood
all over it.

- But that can't be. I...

I wore my shawl with
the fringe tonight at dinner.

This is my other shawl.
- Yes, but this shawl

Still belongs to you,
doesn't it?

How did it end up
down here, bloodied?

- I don't know!

I'll admit, I did come down
here for a drink after dinner.

I heard joseph and I hid.

When I went up the stairs,
I heard a noise,

And I found him,
on the floor, dead.

- And did you see anyone else?
- No.

And I knew instantly
that if I cried out,

It would look like
I stabbed him.

So I stepped over the body
and I went to my room.

(scoffs)

- Mrs. Hymus, I'm afraid to say

This evidence is very damning.

- Mr. Woodson, you were the last
person seen with mr. Tandy.

- Yes, I've already told you.

Saw him cough and then collapse
on the sidewalk.

- What happened at the pool?

- You both know about that?

Nothing.

Took a while to get changed
and harold waited for me.

- There was no sort
of altercation

Between the two of you
at the pool?

- No. Harold didn't even
go swimming.

He said he didn't feel well.

I went back to the house
to get dressed for the dance

And the next time I saw harold,
he was on the street.

- Mrs. Hart should have her
post-mortem completed.

I'd like to hear her findings
before we proceed.

- Detective.

I didn't hurt harold.

He's my friend.

- Harold tandy
did not drown in a pool.

- Are you sure?

- Have a look at this.

- A bug?
- Pond beetle.

I found it in his lungs,
along with some algae.

Harold tandy drowned in a pond,
not a pool.

- But that still doesn't explain

How he was up and about
walking when he died.

- I think I can explain it.
Dry drowning.

- That sounds impossible.

- A person can nearly drown
but survive.

However, their lungs
have collected water,

Which later causes
pulmonary edema.

- So, mr. Tandy was
in a pond yesterday?

- Yesterday, or the day before.

I've read of cases that took
two days to become fatal.

- Well, that certainly widens
the window of opportunity.

Thank you, miss hart.

- Oh, one more thing.

I found traces of green paint
on the victim, inside his ear.

- We met someone else marked
with green paint today.

(grunting)

- We really should
cover him up, julia.

It's gruesome.

- This is a criminal
investigation, mr. Garland.

Now, look at this.

(sighs)
- do I have to?

- The blood on his collar
is still quite red and fresh.

- And?

- Look at the blood
on this shawl.

- It's dry and stiff.

- I should have seen it before.

It's not his blood.

Someone placed
this there earlier.

- So, someone manufactured
evidence against mrs. Hymus?

(distant screaming)

- What happened?
- Lauren found it!

- This is too much.
- Lauren, what is it?

- I felt something poking me
when I sat down.

It was under the cushion.

(julia): Did you touch it?

(lauren): No.
- Your handkerchief.

- Uh, right.

- We need the fingermarks on it.

- Well, who put it there?
- The murderer, presumably.

- And who is that?

- It's a tented arch.
That's impossible.

- Who do they belong to?

- Me.

- You killed my father?

- This must be the knife
I used at dinner.

It's not the murder weapon.
We have to keep looking.

(gasps)

- Please, julia.
- Leslie!

- I think it's best
if you sat down.

(lauren): What are you doing?!

- This is ridiculous.

What interest would I have
in killing the warden?

I'm about to be
released tomorrow morning.

- I have no idea why
you would do it.

But you have blamed everyone
in this household

Except yourself.

- I wouldn't put anything
past her.

She's responsible for the death
of my beloved brother.

(gasps)
- what?

- Your first husband, remember?

- Leslie garland is trying
to frame me for this murder

And I can explain
to you all why.

- Green paint on harold?

Are you sure?

- You had green paint
on your sleeve earlier.

- It was just a silly
sorority thing.

- You must admit,

It's quite a coincidence,
miss harris.

- Penny...

Please help us.

- We use it in our initiations.

We paint all the new girls'
faces green.

- Do any other groups
use green paint?

- My sorority is the sister
to theta gamma delta.

They paint new brothers green,
too.

- Why would leslie frame you?

- It fits in with
his previous behaviour.

Leslie garland blames me
for his brother's death.

So, for some time,
he made my life hell.

- What did he do?

- He posed as
a sequential killer

Who was after my husband.

He tried to keep us apart.
He terrorized me.

- I sent some letters, julia.

I was angry. You ruined my life.

You cost me my job at
the crown attorney's office!

- That's the least
that you deserved.

You're pathetic.

- My brother would still be
alive if it weren't for you.

- Look, his cuff.

- There's something brown
on your shirt, leslie.

- It looks like cocoa.

- Why would you have cocoa
on your sleeve?

- He took dr. Ogden's knife

From the dinner table
and he dusted it with cocoa.

- Well, how did he get
the knife bloody?

- Oh, mr. Garland. You didn't!

- You don't understand.
None of you do.

This woman is-is evil!

- You framed dr. Ogden!

- Leslie, it was you!
You killed my father!

(tense music)

Leslie...

How could you?

- What are you saying?
O-of course I didn't do it!

- Did you kill the warden
just to frame me?

- Now, wait a minute!
This is getting out of hand.

Everybody out! I need to speak
with dr. Ogden a-alone.

- Will you murder her, too?

(gun thuds)

- Please.

- It's all right.

I can defend myself,
if it comes to that.

- Let's go, everyone.

Apparently, these two have some
unfinished business to discuss.

- All right, we're alone.

What is it you have
to say to me?

- I'm sorry.

- You admit it?

- Look, julia, I have no idea
whose fingermarks

Are on the murder weapon,
all right?

But I saw one last chance
to get my revenge

For what you did and I took it.

- For what I did?
I didn't kill darcy!

- But he'd still be alive
if he'd never met you.

- Don't you think
it's time you let this go?

- You're right.

This anger towards you's

Been eating me
from the inside out.

I hate not being
a crown attorney anymore.

Went into estate law,
but it's just so boring.

- Well...

Perhaps this could be
a fresh start for you.

You could find a career
that is truly fulfilling.

- I fear marrying lauren
is a mistake, too.

(sighs)
my life's such a mess.

(sighs)
- leslie...

It's not too late.

- You're right.

(leslie grunts)
- what are you doing?!

- Oh, I thought that's
what you wanted!

- You really are a pissant!

- How does theta gamma delta
haze their initiates?

- That's a secret.

- This is a murder
investigation, gentlemen.

We don't have time for secrets.

- Murder? He had a heart attack,
or something.

Had nothing to do with us.

- Please answer the question.

- We paint 'em green
and we make 'em swim ten laps.

- In a pond?

- Grenadier pond. Why?

- Okay... Ah-ha!

I'm leaving.

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

- What?
- Let's go.

- Chick, this is serious.
- Let's go, ralphie.

- The detective needs
to talk to everyone.

- Don't touch me.

Am I under arrest?

- You just might be.

- I can explain.
- There's nothing to explain.

You took my gold clock.

It was in the dining room

And I've just found it
in the kitchen cupboard.

- But I didn't steal it!

- Then how did it come
to be in your possession?

- Lauren?

- Did he confess?

- Is he guilty?

- I'm not sure.

- Lauren, you cannot
marry that man.

- He's horrible.

- Sarah! It's none
of your business.

- Are you saying
that leslie's guilty?

Perhaps it was you?
- Don't turn on me!

It's your mother
who hates him so much!

- I don't know who
you think you are!

- That's enough!
Everyone be quiet.

Mrs. Hymus,

Where did your husband
keep his outgoing mail?

- In a tray by the front hall.

For the mailman to pick up.

- I'd like all of you to move
into the drawing room.

I'll join you there
in five minutes.

(mysterious music)

- Harold tandy was initiated
into theta gamma delta.

And it killed him.

- Detective, are you aware that
chick is miss harris' brother?

- Well, that is most
interesting.

Because miss harris,
your sister,

Told us that mr. Tandy

Wrote her a most
uncharacteristic letter

After they last saw one another,

Breaking off their relationship.

- Did you make him do that?

- How would I make him
write a letter?

- By showing him that you'd
kill him if he didn't.

- You pretended to initiate him
to gain his trust.

And then held him underwater.

You scratched his head
with your ring.

- All right.

I had a little fun.

But I just scared him so that
he'd stay away from my sister.

- Yeah. Chick wasn't anywhere
near harold when he died.

- His actions killed him.

- It's called a dry drowning.

And it was at your hand,
mr. Harris.

I suppose we'll have to see
how much jail time

A judge and jury
feel you deserve.

- Please, sit.

Mrs. Hymus, I don't believe
that sara stole your gold clock.

- Thank you, dr. Ogden.

- I believe that lauren
gave it to her

In exchange for a favour.

(lauren): What do you mean?

- I'd like to draw everyone's
attention to this.

These old letters
of the warden's

Were found in the stove
in sarah's room.

- I told you,
I used them as kindling.

- Did you?

Or were they examples
of the warden's handwriting

Used to forge a letter?

- What letter?

- I found this
in the outgoing mail tray.

It's a letter to the head
of port credit prison

Stating that jane March
is pardoned,

Fully and completely,
effective immediately.

- I don't know
anything about that.

- But why would lauren ask sarah

To forge a pardon letter
for jane?

- Jane,

I've noticed that all evening,

You've been reaching
into your apron pocket.

Please show us
what you have in there.

- No!

You can't make me.

- You will do as dr. Ogden
says, right now!

(breathing heavily)

(leslie): The other half
of lauren's locket.

- Lauren and jane were planning
to run away together.

- But lauren...

You told me you loved me!
I can't believe this.

- Hold your outrage,
mr. Garland.

- Oh, please!
You can't possibly believe

That I knew anything about this.

- Earlier when I was searching
for the real murder weapon,

I was just about to look
in this sideboard

When you stopped me at gunpoint.

(phyllis): The knife!

- I'm not a betting woman,

But I'd wager if I compared
everyone's fingermarks

Against those on this knife,

They'd match lauren hymus's.

(breathing heavily)

- You were just supposed
to get me pardoned!

- My father would have found out
and ruined everything.

This way, we could have
our freedom and my inheritance.

It would have been perfect.

(knocking at door)

- That must be the police.

- Well, they took their
sweet time, didn't they?

(breathing heavily)

- Why is jane being arrested?

She didn't know of my plan!

- Jane's sentence
will be lighter,

But she's still part
of this crime.

- Lauren...

Was everything we had a lie?

- Yes, leslie. You repulse me.

(sighs)
- that's rather harsh.

- I had thought you were
the only way out of here.

And then I met jane.

- Well, julia,
although our night together

Did have a grisly catalyst,
I must admit I did rather enjoy

Our time playing detective.

No hard feelings?

- Mr. Garland, you tried
to frame me for murder.

- Well...

- Did you find the murder weapon
in lauren's bedroom?

- Yes. Along with a packed bag.

I thought lauren killed
her father for his inheritance

And kept a bag close by in case
she was looking suspicious,

But...

Well, I thought
she did it for us.

- So, you knew that lauren
killed her father,

But you did nothing?

- She was my fiancée!

- Officers, take this man
into custody, as well.

- What?

Trying to ruin my life again?

- You did that yourself.

- You'd best watch your back,
julia ogden.

I'll see to it you pay for this.

- Don't keep
the officers waiting.

(sighs)

(indistinct chatter)

(distant church bells ringing)

(chuckling)

- Violet!

I wasn't expecting to see you.

- I wanted to surprise you.

- We were up all night.
I thought you'd take the day off

And sleep in.

- Oh, I couldn't sleep.

Neither could you, it seems.

- I didn't want to miss a class.

- Oh.

Well, how about an early dinner?

- That sounds perfect.

- Good.

- But violet,

Do you think we can
get through a single date

Without some calamity?

- Um, we'll see.

(laughing)

- There's never a dull
moment around you.

- Isn't that why you like me?

- Hmm.

It's not the only reason.

- Hmm.

- I'm just glad she's too young

To remember that
her mother was imprisoned.

- She missed you.

- I missed you both, so much.

I'm so glad to be home.

(baby cooing)

- What else can I get you?

I'll make you anything
you heart desires.

- Honestly, I'm not fussy,

As long as it's not steak,

Cocoa, uh, baked alaska,

Or imperial tokay.

- Right. What is tokay?

- Well, it's a hungarian, uh--

- I-it doesn't matter.

Were you really up all night
solving the warden's murder?

- Put the kettle on,
then come back

And I'll tell you
the whole story.

(light music)

(upbeat mysterious music)
