Original subtitles

What a gentleman to accompany me to my door.

Will you do things like that after we get married?

- At least for a few months. - For a few months?

Well, well, a year.

It finally feels like everything will be fine.

Even if we have to move to another city.

I would follow you anywhere, Jessica.

- Good night. - Good night.

Andrew Morgan's wife.

Oh no.

I AM HALF AGONY, HALF HOPE DON'T TELL ME IT'S TOO LATE

Not.

Not.

No again.

No again.

3 YEARS LATER...

REAL MURDER CLUB

There were here, like 30 people In the past week.

I think we will have to buy more chairs.

The "Royal Murder Club" is one one of the most popular in the city.

If only our Police Chief I would think the same.

"For the love of God, Catch me before I kill more.

I can not control myself".

Good visual aid for the lipstick killer.

Yeah well I want everything be perfect for tomorrow.

For the first time I'm coming with my cousin Phillip.

And... Nick Miller will also be coming.

Is it your first date?

I already cleaned everything up, Roe.

The hall is immaculate for the meeting.

Oh great! Thank you Valerie. You're coming home this week, right?

I will be there.

Can I be on your waiting list to clean my house too?

I don't have a waiting list.

I'm always happy to have new customers.

I heard that you

Mentioned that Nick Miller will you be at the meeting?

Yes, he and Roe are dating.

What? Not! What? We're not dating!

It's too early for that We're just getting to know each other.

Isn't he the best subject? And he is so handsome.

Oh, true. You also work for him.

Yes. And it's very neat. His house is hardly messy.

A guy who picks up his socks?

I mean, we talk about the man of our dreams

However, it does not seem like someone

Who is interested in that topic.

Well, have a good night.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Let's get this over with. - Well.

LAWRENCETON LIBRARY

To return in three weeks.

Oh mother I can not tell I'm surprised to see you

I just have a minute.

And yet you still have time to scold me for inviting

Philip to the club.

Roe, you know how I feel responsible for him

Since he moved to Lawrenceton to go to university.

And you know that the damn club is a magnet for trouble.

Oh, you can't blame the club.

I had a scare after another with you

Why did you invite him?

Because I'm the president of the club.

I invite you all. Look at this.

Lillian, tonight we'll talk about the lipstick killer.

Do you want to come?

I prefer to do anything.

That's what anyone would feel.

It's actually indecent.

Talk about the dead for entertainment purposes.

For educational purposes.

Professor Miller, I need to ask you something.

Sure, Dina. What is?

I need you to approve this scheme

What did i do for chapter 30 before making photocopies.

Sure it's alright Go ahead and make the copies.

I prefer that you approve it, what if i'm wrong?

Dina, you won the Messervey scholarship.

All campus teachers they wanted you as an assistant.

Prof. Henner was so impressed, who asked you to take care of his house.

We clearly have faith in you. Get the copies out.

Thanks.

It's extortion. I will not pay.

I must insist that you keep Keep your voice down, Mr. Irons.

Most people they raise their voices when they are robbed!

What is it that has you so upset, Edward?

This came in the mail.

The system put you on hold to get books

And received a collection notice for a lost book

I did not lost it, I would never lose a book!

You. You're the one who recorded it. I remember.

Sorry i don't remember have registered it.

Are you suggesting what am i lying

Oh no no no but let me go to check the shelves.

Well I just did. It's not there.

I'll tell you what, Edward. Let me pay for the book.

I don't want you to pay.

I want you to admit that you made a mistake.

You have never respected me.

Never!

He has something against me since i told him

That we would not order the book which he himself published.

Well anyway, I think we both agree

In which this problem you will solve it.

Thanks for coming to pick me up.

Well it's more fun if we go together,

Especially for your first meeting and Nick's.

You could have warned me that Aunt Aida I would make a disapproving face

When i told him i would go to the Royal Assassination Club.

I've seen that face many times

And I hope that one day understand why we do it.

What are you doing here?

I think we don't know each other.

You are the librarian.

Yes, I'm Aurora Teagarden.

- And this is my cousin Philip. - Hello.

And you are...?

Dina MacMillan, the assistant of Prof. Miller.

We just came to see him.

Oh, I'm afraid you're busy.

He is waiting for us.

I think we can find it on our own.

Thanks. Nice to meet you, Dina.

- There is. - Excuse me.

Hi guys. Excited for the meeting?

- Prof. Miller. - Call me Nick tonight.

What, you don't say hello?

Hello. Sorry. That's Bree Kirsten, isn't it?

Forensic psychology professor.

Yes, and the Head of my Department.

I love your subject. I took her last semester.

Could you introduce me?

I've been trying to invite her for a long time to speak at the club.

She's busy, it's her birthday. But apparently she can't wait.

Hello, Professor Carson.

I'm sorry to barge in like this But I was dying to meet her.

For starters, happy birthday.

Bree, this is Aurora Teagarden, the friend I told you about.

Apparently she is a fan of yours.

Yes I admire your work about criminal profiles.

I love meeting fans.

I don't know if he saw my emails,

But I'm the president of a club debate on true crimes...

I have read them

And I admit that I was interested, but...

But he promised me that I would not answer.

Lynn!

I don't know why it surprises me.

Police Chief and the forensic psychologist.

We are friends, what a surprise!

I obviously told him that what was least convenient for him

Was to get involved with your crime freaks.

Clear. Bree, it was great pleasure to meet you

And... enjoy your birthday.

- Thanks. - Ouch. Fine.

Why would it be so terrible speak in the group?

Trust me, you don't want

To all those people involving you in their little obsessions.

Didn't you tell me that your husband was he a member of the group?

Roe, there you are!

You gotta see This.

When I arrived I found it like this.

Davis actually got there first, when he came to buy coffee.

I didn't have to use the keys you gave me

The back door was unlocked.

I eat?

Yesterday when we prepared everything, We didn't go out the back door.

Were there signs of forced entry?

This is a good sign.

Hey, the folder.

I had a folder with photos of crime scenes on the table.

They're not here.

Not all. Don't you see?

Everyone says that Aurora Teagarden Nothing escapes him.

Tell us what you mean.

Over there.

That photo was in the folder.

- You didn't leave it there? - No.

- Look what they wrote. - Do not touch her.

It may have fingerprints.

Already knew.

"For whom life and death They're the same joke."

- Chilling. - Why is it familiar to me?

It was written by Edgar Allan Poe.

"For whom life and death they are the same joke

There are some issues who you can't joke with."

- What does it mean? - A criticism of the club?

I think someone wants to add to the evening some mystery.

- Was it you, Davis? - What?

- Do you suspect me? - Let's let the police figure it out.

Arthur will arrive At any time.

Did I hear my name?

I do not like this.

Do you know who destroyed my presentation for sure...

Probably a member of the club?

Yes.

Who else would know that I prepare the material the night before?

I will talk with him.

Can we talk, Davis?

Maybe they were teenagers.

No. Arthur also believes that it was someone from the club.

Are you suspicious of Davis because...?

He has a set of keys.

And knew how to interpret Poe's quote.

Does it fit with what you know about him?

Happens that we don't know him very well.

Just a few months ago who joined the club.

He is very nice, intelligent, asks good questions.

Makes too many questions.

I think he likes to challenge Roe.

Maybe it's your version from "Catch Me If You Can".

Or maybe it's something more personal.

ABT REAL ESTATE

ABT REAL ESTATE

I wish I was surprised but it doesn't surprise me.

And I'm worried that they got in to the War Veterans Hall.

I hope it doesn't even occur to you Go to one of those meetings.

Are you kidding?

I want to know what happens next.

Oh Phillip.

In my office I have the package your mom sent.

Oh no.

Aunt Aida, what happened?

VANDAL GIVES HIM A SCARE TO A LOCAL CLUB

A scare? Really?

Don't you find it melodramatic?

I don't make the headlines Macon makes them.

Also, it scared me a little.

That creepy quote...

"For whom life and death They're the same joke."

- Hello, Valerie! - Hello, Roe!

- Do I help you. - Thanks.

It's good that you're home So I don't have to look for the key.

Hello Sally!

This morning I read your article. It's crazy, isn't it?

Yes, it's someone with a strange sense of humor.

- Are they cupcakes? - Yes.

Try one.

I love to prepare sweets for my clients.

They look delicious.

Hi Phillip, what's up?

What?

I have to go to work but call me if you discover something.

Yes.

Tell your mom I can go to clean up when the police leave.

Hello Nick!

Don't you see her very carefree?

Maybe it's a little strange but it makes delicious cupcakes.

- Hi and bye, Nick. -Sally.

- Gnaws. - Hello Nick.

Last night they came in to my mother's office

And they took the laptop.

- What? - I 'm coming.

- Fine, I'll follow you. - Agree.

I'm sorry, mother.

What a mess.

Someone messed with my photos especially the ones where you are.

It was not a common robbery.

No. You can tell it was personal.

And that hideous photo...

Was in the folder Veterans Hall.

A crime scene of the lipstick killer.

A murder scene? See Phillip?

Join that club It's looking for trouble.

Aunt Aida...

What did you find, Michael?

It is likely that he entered by the back door.

They opened the bolt No problem.

I was going to tell you the same.

- Or it could have a key. - That too.

They need a security lock.

And someone agreed at 11 pm to the security board.

You entered the correct code to turn off the alarm.

And they reactivated it at 11:45.

Aida, how many people do you know the code?

You installed my system About a decade ago, Michael.

But I recommended you change the code every six months.

I know, but I never changed it.

I would like to install the lock

I will do it.

Valerie knows the code and he has the office key.

The housekeeper?

I will not doubt Valerie.

- I've known her forever. - I've known her for a long time too.

But she was weird when she found out They had entered the office.

When you investigate a case you must pay attention to everything.

Yeah but I'm in charge of this case, Roe, not you.

And if Val is weird, tell me.

Is that a question mark?

It wasn't in the other photo.

And there is something written in the back.

"The librarian He insisted on the formalities.

It's not a famous quote.

It is not a threat. Against you, Aurora.

Can you install the app to trace your whereabouts?

- I need to know if you're safe. - It's not a bad idea.

No, not a bad idea...

It's a horrendous idea.

I will not allow my privacy to be violated. Nor my own mother.

I also know how to take care of myself.

Ok but find out that it's personal, Roe.

Someone is provoking you.

Did you see what happened?

I just called the police.

Someone stole my car.

Oh no, Lillian!

I arrived only an hour ago,

I went downstairs to look for a coat and the car was gone.

They just left this mess.

And I was left without a coat.

And no travel CD case.

Why didn't they think of leaving? My case instead of this?

I found it between the windows.

First i thought which was my computer.

It's my mother's.

Lillian, that's the computer that they stole from my mother!

Detective Smith.

Davis.

I need to ask you some questions.

Because I was the one who discovered what happened in the veterans lounge.

The person who finds out statistically,

Is the one who committed the crime certain?

I'm not here to talk about statistics.

I just want to know where you were last night at 11:30 pm

I know you live on your savings and you have...

A lot of free time.

I can not deny it.

Let's see, at 11:30.

At that time I was sure getting me in trouble.

Did you get in trouble?

Sometimes it's alright get into trouble.

Stay here.

Yes?

Lillian's car was stolen in the library parking lot.

In broad daylight.

Whoever it was, left behind the computer that mom lost.

Okay, I'll go there.

Davis, will you tell me first Where were you last night

And then you will tell me where you were this hour that has passed

Arthur is on his way, Lillian.

I must come back. I have a volunteer filling in for me at the front desk.

- Take this. - No. Leave it as you found it.

They will want to take pictures and look for fingerprints.

No, I think it was backwards.

There is something inside.

Oh no, wait for the police.

Another photo of a crime scene of the lipstick killer.

They wrote something back.

"The more you play with death, sooner it will come for you".

It feels like they're walking over my grave

It's exactly how it feels.

Had a question mark in the lower corner,

But this one has nothing only the source of the photo.

"The more you play with death, sooner it will come for you".

Another slap to the Royal Assassination Club.

- Is not it adorable? - Someone wants to scare you, Roe.

Permission.

Are you saying it's her fault? Did they steal my car?

It's not directly your fault.

Lillian, if it turns out to be that your car was stolen because of me,

I would feel awful.

Maybe i will teach you

Not to get into inappropriate hobbies.

In the Veterans Hall and in the your mother's office there was nothing,

But my team found something here.

There were two hairs on the computer keyboard.

It remains to determine the color,

But it seems clear.

Mom doesn't have blonde hair nor gray and Lillian neither.

Neither did Davis Mettle. Maybe...

Maybe we won't comment our ideas to civilians.

Clear.

Do you know someone with light hair what's upset with you?

There is a regular customer of the library, Edward Irons.

It annoys me.

Yesterday he basically accused me to defame his character.

Yes? Aurora Teagarden, slanderer.

A misunderstanding over a lost book that he took personally.

The same thing happened when we didn't want to commission the book he wrote.

He is an older, gray-Haired man...

And today he was in the parking lot.

Right after they robbed lilian's car

Another person to talk to.

This is getting worse and worse.

Stealing a car, a felony,

In the parking lot of a library in the middle of the morning.

I found out that they found My computer.

And they left another threatening message?

I know how you feel.

You think so, but you don't know.

You've been in danger before

But only when you intruded with the plans of a bad person.

I never saw that they were merciless with you

Thus.

I know, this time is different.

I'll call Michael Vance

To install a system next-Generation security.

And don't even think about going against me.

I won't go against you.

Sweetie...

NO PASSING CRIME SCENE

Can i help you

It's Roe's mom, right?

- And who are you? -Davis Mettle.

I'm with your daughter at the Royal Assassination Club.

Yes? He never told me about you.

I'm new.

What are you doing here? It's a crime scene.

Yes i found out that the thief attacked again

And wanted to see if there was left another appointment.

I must read it.

So I can help Roe to find another clue.

She seems a bit...

Confused.

What do you mean?

Told the police to watch me

So obviously She's wrong.

Yes?

Because you act in a threatening way.

No, I want to help.

That's what the club is for. To discover the enemy.

I don't like your tone.

Don't worry, Mrs. Teagarden.

If I were behind all this...

They would never find me out.

Hello. Detective Arthur Smith, Lawrenceton Police.

I need to speak to Edward Irons, can you tell him to come down?

Is he.

Thanks.

- Mr. Irons, I'm... - I know who it is.

Good. I have some questions.

It will be because this morning they stole a car from the library.

Yes, I heard that you were there.

Yes. I go to the library Mondays and Wednesdays,

But today I did not see anyone suspicious doing anything suspicious.

You did not park in front of the library?

Not.

For me to park in the center is an invitation to be robbed

And look what happened.

Where were you last night at 11:30?

It's none of your business.

I can call him to an official questioning.

Let me know when you find a probable cause.

I'll call my lawyer.

Yes, I know, but it is a very old ritual.

Restaurant staff sings you happy birthday

And the other diners hate you.

Next time, go to my birthday.

Prof. Miller? I didn't finish entering the notes,

But I'll do it after the lab. It looks good?

- Yes, there is no rush. - Well.

I recommend you be careful with her.

- He likes you. - Dina?

Only need raise your self-Esteem.

It's amazing that you are an eminence teaching psychology

And you don't know anything about the female mind.

Thanks for the lunch.

Ms. Teagarden! How good.

Now I can apologize for not going to talk to his group.

Don't worry, I don't want cause him trouble with Lynn.

Thank you. Someday we could have a coffee together.

Oh, I would like that.

The thief attacked again. He stole Lillian's car.

His car?

And left this message.

"The more you play with death, sooner it will come for you".

One way or another.

One way or another? Why do you add that?

It must be a well-Known quote. My dad always said that.

Can I use the computer?

It's a quote from Dashiell Hammett.

From "Sam Spade"?

No, from his first crime novel, "The agent of the Continental".

A quote from Poe, one from Hammett.

What if the office message Mom's was also a date?

"The librarian He insisted on the formalities.

Yes, from a book called "Murder in the Library",

By Charles Dutton. Do not know him.

"Murder in the Library", published in 1931.

First book in the series "Prof. Harley Manners Mysteries".

The thief leaves us clues from old detective novels.

The first clue, which was the quote from Poe...

"For whom life and death They're the same joke."

It's from "The Crimes of the Rue Morgue".

It is supposedly the first police account of the story.

- Guess what it's about. - Of crimes in the Morgue street?

Of the murder of a mother and her daughter.

And who did they rob afterwards? To my mom.

The next clue is...

"The librarian insisted with the formalities".

It's about the murder from a librarian.

I thought it was me

But it aimed at Lillian, because they stole from her.

And she sure is persistent.

It was more than that. The robbery of vehicles is a serious crime.

Yeah, and the thief leaves clues that signal the next attacker.

The book victim is his next victim.

We think it defies Roe to discover the clues.

- Why do that? - I don't know.

Write the quotes in crime photos

Where the culprit ask them to find out.

Is it a call for help?

I care more than the message it is that if they do not discover it

- Will commit worse crimes until... - Even kill someone.

And the last clue, that of the library parking?

"The more you play with death, sooner it will come for you".

It's from "The Red Harvest", by Dashiell Hammett.

Who is the victim there?

A female journalist.

Does it mean...?

I think the next victim it will be you

I'm glad you came with me to watch over Sally's house.

Well, I'd rather be at home. With the kids.

This perpetrator it's making me angry.

Set the scenes, leave clues. Who would do that?

Maybe Nick Miller is right.

Could be planning something more destructive.

Yeah, and it's someone smart enough to evade witnesses and cameras.

We don't have any footprints no physical evidence

More than a few hairs

And lately they take longer DNA tests.

The laboratory can give us an interim result

If the suspects agree to give us a sample.

Edward Irons won't give us anything.

I still think it's Davis Mettle,

The one from the Royal Assassination Club.

Aida saw him in the parking lot from the library

After being robbed the car to Lillian.

Did you go back to the crime scene? I don't believe it.

He noticed a threatening tone towards Roe

And when i questioned him He said something that made me think.

And he said it like if you were quoting someone.

I'll call Roe in case she recognizes him.

Don't call her.

Aurora Teagarden is not counsel in the case.

But the common thread seems to be Roe.

I think the time has come to use a librarian as a consultant.

You can search on Google.

It's okay.

I won't find it.

I found it.

What Davis said,

"Sometimes it's alright get into trouble",

It's from "The Maltese Falcon" Another Dashiell Hammett book.

I wish I had found out sooner the meaning of the clues.

You studied true crime, not fictional.

But I took a matter about age detective fiction gold,

That's why I have no excuses by not acknowledging Hammett's quote.

Good thing you do.

I just want to know what does this guy want

Yes. What do you want?

Test Roe, Likewise?

Show off? Take revenge for something?

Isn't it all of the above?

I could consult Bree Carson.

Edward Irons removed from the library lots of police fiction.

Maybe read a lot of Hammett.

When Arthur called you said that they suspected Davis Mettle.

Yes, but they can't find it.

What?

Do you know I'm here?

Sally, I didn't tell you. Because I knew you would care.

Also, I will protect you.

You don't make me feel better.

Would you feel better if I slept on the couch?

If you do?

I can stay too.

No, better go back to college.

You definitely have to study.

You start talking like a mother.

It's true.

A little.

But thanks.

Detective Smith.

Hello, thanks for calling.

Wanted to talk about one of its tenants, Edward Irons.

Did you see or talk to him last night? Before it came out?

Okay, yes. Thank you.

Perfect.

Now they disappeared our two suspects.

Sally?

Nick?

- Sorry. - Don't worry. I thought I heard something outside.

Me too.

On the side of the house. I went out and saw a shadow on the fence.

Tell me that the shadow It was the neighbor's cat.

- Only if it's a giant cat. - Did you hear a noise?

It was a cat who jumped the fence, right?

Yes, it was a cat.

A cat?

Agree. I'll go back to bed.

I will stay awake. Go back to sleep.

I'm so glad you're here.

- Good morning, Roe. - Hello.

I'm going to work. I'll contact you later.

Is Nick still here?

No. I had to give a class early.

- Goodbye, Aida! - Goodbye!

- Hello. - Hello.

I hope you haven't forgotten that this morning Michael would come.

I know. Hello Michael. I'm glad you came.

- You can start whenever you want. - I will do it, thanks.

Good. Your mother asked me for cameras Inside and outside.

Install a pair outside it will be more than enough.

Wouldn't you feel safer with a camera inside?

"Safe" is not the word which would use

Sally told me you heard an intruder in the middle of the night

No, mom. It was a cat.

It was a cat.

And why did Sally sleep on the couch? You have a nice guest room.

Sally didn't sleep here. It was Nick.

Nick spent the night here?

Valerie.

Yes. Nick was our night sentinel.

What are you doing here?

Yesterday I forgot my vacuum cleaner.

Forgive me for coming in without knocking

But when i come to clean you're never home

It's a lovely surprise. Long time no see.

How is your mom?

Much better after surgery.

I'm so glad. I know you were very worried about...

Do you want to go out with me Let's see where I put the cameras?

Clear.

It may be one in this corner and one over the garage.

Why are you still here Sally's car?

Not!

Sally!

Sally! Do you hear me?

Say something, Sally.

Thank God you're alive.

I need a phone to call 911.

Take mine.

I am certified in CPR. I'll stay with her. Call.

Sally.

Can you open your eyes? Sally.

"Aurora Teagarden It's in the middle."

Gnaws.

He has marks on his neck. As if they had tried to suffocate her.

911, what is your emergency?

Thanks for staying to answer questions.

I'm very worried about Sally.

Luckily you found it on time.

They will do everything possible.

Darling, she'll be fine.

Isn't that Lillian's case? From your CDs?

Yeah and we found your car Down street.

I looked up this phrase in Google Books, But I did not find anything.

He no longer uses full quotes. Not if it includes my name.

Maybe a partial quote, but very common to find on the internet.

You're making the tracks difficult.

I have to go to the hospital to see Sally.

Mother, can you ask Nick find me there?

Of course.

Please find the culprit.

We will find.

Didn't you see anyone in the garden, someone driving away?

No, I left the car running and went straight into the house.

I was late for a job And I didn't even look at the driveway.

I feel like a fool.

But you were outside when Sally was attacked.

It left minutes before your arrival. You should have seen something, unless...

Are you accusing me of doing this to him?

I do not accuse you of anything is that you had the opportunity...

Of committing the crime?

Or to help us to find out who it was.

Aurora says that Do you know the alarm code?

And you have the key from Aida's office.

Where were you the night how did you enter the office?

I won't answer any more questions Until I get a lawyer.

What did you find out?

Valerie Wagner was very defensive when I questioned her.

Davis Mettle didn't come home last night and his whereabouts are unknown.

And I spoke to the security guard of the Edward Irons building

And he says he just came back from a long walk.

Find out if Roe's neighbors have cameras on their front lawns.

This case just escalated to attempted murder.

How is it going?

Doctors don't see brain damage on the tomography, but...

Still not awake

I called his parents and they are on their way.

How do I explain what happened?

I'll help you.

But it's my fault.

Everyone who approaches me Is in danger.

You are not to blame for anything.

Ask my mother or Lynn or Lillian.

They will all tell you where I am going the problems go

Like when they strangled me best friend on my front lawn.

He already woke up.

Hello.

I'll go for the doctor.

It's good that you woke up. How you feel?

My throat hurts.

- Taking. - Thanks.

Someone attacked you.

Tried to suffocate you at the entrance to the garage.

- What? - You do not remember?

Not.

I remember...

That was standing next to my car.

I couldn't find the keys.

Then it seemed to me hear something behind me

And I don't remember anything else.

Do not remember did you turn around?

Do not remember did you fight with someone?

Oxygen deprivation can affect short-Term memory.

Did they steal something from me?

We can't find your phone.

But it is not necessary talk about it now.

- We better wait for the doctor. - Did he leave any clues?

- I gave it to the police. - What did he say?

"Aurora Teagarden It's in the middle."

Did you specifically mention your name?

It could be the partial quote of a detective novel.

I did not see results on the Internet. It's very common.

Club members can get to read in search of the quote.

I don't want to compromise no one else around me

No one else gets hurt nor run the risk of death.

Investigate the track together

It is the best way to protect the next.

- We couldn't protect Sally. - You should try, Roe.

I want to help. Bring me some detective novels.

- I know you have hundreds. -Sally.

You must rest and improve yourself.

It wouldn't be so desperate if i had something to do

I need to know who did this to me, Roe.

Me too.

I'll ask Bree Make a criminal profile

But maybe I don't have time.

He has twice as many hours as me and by popular initiative.

Do I detect a certain professional envy?

Almost everyone is fascinated the real crimes.

Why will it be?

People want to understand crime, make it predictable.

Gives them the feeling to be in control.

I will evaluate if they determined the reason for the crime,

Not the how

And must include the source.

The jobs without the corresponding bibliography

They will end up in the trash can.

Have a great day. And they must be very careful.

This is a surprise.

We came to ask you a favor.

Detective Smith, you're back.

Yes. I have to talk with Edward Irons.

- He didn't come out again, did he? - I think not.

Lives on the fourth floor department 434.

Thanks.

Davis.

Did someone want to suffocate her? That is, to strangle,

In your front yard?

Today at 8:30. With some kind of tether.

It is not very frequent and quite cheeky.

You understand why I'm desperate for stopping this person.

I can make a profile, but only If I can show it to Lynn.

I won't hide it from you nor will I break any rule.

Not even for the lovely teacher

I want Lynn to have all possible information.

Tell me how you know each other.

It's not important.

I always see him in the restaurant Where do I go when I can't sleep?

- We started talking. - Yes? About what?

You don't have to tell him. It's none of your business.

Why keep it a secret?

Help me with the presentation for the Royal Murder Club.

Really? Tell me what it is about.

It's called "Detectives Chasing to the wrong person

And they let escape the real criminal."

What do you think of the title? Did I cross the line?

Is very good.

I'll do an official questioning.

- I'm not going without my lawyer. - Then call him.

Now.

The first three sentences They're from old detective novels.

It must be his modus operandi.

Do you mean his stamp?

What is the difference?

The modus operandi It is the way to commit the crime.

For example, the method that uses to kill. Knife, gun.

The seal is something that leaves to feel good emotionally.

Like a hobby, an addiction.

Is this person addicted to detective novels,

Or to leave dark clues, or what?

I'll check it out and let you know what I find out.

Thanks. It's a great help.

I'll come with you, Bree.

Nick, thanks for your help.

No problem. I will call you later.

Thanks for spending time on this.

PUBLIC LIBRARY LAWRENCETON

Hello Roe.

I see no one found the quote in any police novel.

It's not on the internet either?

I'm looking for something else.

Bree Carson spoke to me of the seals of a criminal,

So I look for incidents where there were crime novel clues.

- Did you find something? - No.

Then I'll start reading. What is the quote I should look for?

You will not find a complete quote,

But the track is "Aurora Teagarden is in the middle."

It's true.

He turned this quiet library in a circus.

Poor Lillian. She's not very happy with me.

Detective Smith He doesn't seem happy either.

Davis Mettle and Edward Irons they know each other?

Yeah, it looks like they work together.

In what?

They say it's a presentation for Real Murders.

But I think they allied to harm you

They say they were together the time Sally was attacked.

- Hello Sally. How are you? - Better.

Listen, I think I found the quote.

It's in one of the books What did you give me last night?

Sally thinks she found the quote.

In what book?

"Oxford Secrets", by Dorothy Sayers. Page 46.

"What limited her, was to be in the middle,

Too close to everything".

It must be that, right?

Yes, it has to be.

Do you remember the plot?

It's about the murder of a college student.

Do you think Phillip is next?

I eat? What did you say?

Where is the boss? Does not answer.

I'm glad to be next.

Let him come for me. I'll be ready.

But if they do it together, Davis and Edward Irons...

I find it strange that they work together.

If not, how could they beat you in the game of cat and mouse?

Roe is right. It's not a game.

They almost kill Sally.

Will they be that angry? So unbalanced?

Maybe only one is.

That's the brain and the other covers it.

Who is the brain?

Here we have "Oxford Secrets".

I'll print the order log.

There you are.

Phillip, come home with me now.

Why?

Sally told me that you can be the next victim of the attacker,

So i want to take you to my house until they catch him.

I won't, Aunt Aida.

You will be safer on campus.

Thanks.

I'll notify campus security keep a close eye on it.

I don't think it's a good idea.

Would you rather stay at mom's?

- Call campus security. - All right.

Satisfied?

Hello.

- Did you see who attacked you? - What?

- Who are you? - You must have seen something.

Hair, face or...

What are you doing here, Edward?

- Is that Edward? - I told you I wouldn't talk to you.

- Davis. - Go.

No. This is over now.

What are you doing, Roe?

- I know what you've been doing, Davis. - You know?

Thanks for trying solve these crimes,

But i'm not impressed you make me look bad

And honestly you are intruding

- I tried to tell him. - And you

Stop acting like i I won't respect you, because I do

But i would respect you much more if you were a little nicer.

And now go away! Sally needs to rest.

Hope you feel better.

You feel good? And if they are not innocent?

I am trusting my instincts. That's what I do.

How you feel?

I want more jelly.

Apart from the most obvious,

He is a very intelligent person and good for research.

I think dating is likely They were written by a woman.

The thief returns the objects stolen with each new lead.

Feel some empathy.

And the female gender is more empathetic

I suspect that this person He doesn't think he's a criminal.

You may think you borrow the objects so that they understand something.

What is there to understand?

I think the writer chose to Miss Teagarden as a rival.

First we think that the rival He was from the Royal Assassination Club,

Like Davis Mettle.

But he is a man and my instinct says it's not him.

The increasingly personal tracks,

Like the last one, with your name,

They make me think in a rival for love.

For whose love?

I do not go out with anyone.

This is not the time to be shy. You spend a lot of time with Nick.

Let's say it's for you.

Do you know someone who, lately, obsessed with you?

Not that I know of.

And your teaching assistant?

Dina McMillan?

I remember what you said before, but I didn't notice any hint of...

Obsession.

Didn't you win the Messervey scholarship, a math scholarship?

Yes, but your title It is mathematics and psychology.

Return of stolen items

Can be interpreted as

The mania of balancing an equation.

The clue to when Sally was attacked It was from "The Secrets of Oxford."

Look who took the book for the last time.

Dina McMillan.

Where do I find that girl?

I figured you'd be here.

Dyne.

Can you come please?

The boss wants to make you some questions.

You can tell he doesn't like me.

Maybe Bree is right. He asked for "The Oxford Murders."

It's not usually wrong, but maybe Dina read detective novels.

And there is no connection with your mother or with Sally.

Yes, but part of hurting me is to know who is close to me.

We know you are very smart.

I find it hard to believe that you have done this.

If not Dina, then who?

Can it be someone with whom Do you work or see every day?

And Bree?

When I started working here, sometimes we would go out for a drink

But now, she barely let me take her for lunch on his birthday.

Why?

They promoted her to department head.

And they are not allowed to relate superiors and subordinates.

- And Bree continues... - The rules. I know. Wait.

I know of someone who can like you

Valerie Wagner.

Valerie? Why do you think so?

The other night talked a lot about you...

And I was at my house the time Sally was attacked.

Also clean my mother's office

So it has key and knows the security code.

Motive and opportunity.

- Let's tell Lynn. - Wait.

Valerie is a friend of the family.

His mother worked with mine for many years.

I don't want to make her a suspect until I can talk to him myself.

Good.

I'll tell him to come by my office.

It's okay.

It's horrible to feel attacked.

That threaten to the people around me.

Sally could have died.

Maybe I should listen to them to my mother... and to Lillian,

About leaving the club.

Let someone else Take charge.

It's never a good idea to do what someone else thinks you should do.

Yes, but with what happened...

Just when things go wrong you must know who you are and what you want.

How do you do that?

How do you keep calm when everything is going wrong?

I don't know...

Here it comes.

How weird.

Escape from us?

From my?

Could it be Valerie which is doing this?

I remember Valerie it said how much he liked Nick.

It occurred to me to talk to her,

But when he saw me waiting for her with Nick...

It basically shot off.

They had information about a possible suspected of attempted murder

And instead of telling us, Did you go talk to her?

When you say it like that it sounds bad.

It's wrong, Roe!

Now he is alert. If he is guilty, you could be throwing away evidence.

Or going out of town.

In Roe's defense, it seemed impossible.

They have the right to be angry with me.

Thanks for giving us permission.

It's Phillip.

Wants us to go to the University.

He says he received a suspicious package.

The package was in my mailbox.

As soon as I opened it and saw the content I decided to call them.

- You did the right thing. - Of course.

I didn't touch the content.

It's Sally's phone.

"Aurora Teagarden is very close to remain single".

I'll find the quote.

Club members are reading old detective novels.

Maybe someone remembers have read a similar sentence.

Some must follow in the library.

It's none of the member's business of the club It's our business.

- Yeah, let the police deal with it. - But with this we can help them.

I know we can. Let us help.

The appointment is not on Google Books.

They can save us a lot of time.

Fine, if Arthur is there.

Thanks. Go.

I'm going too, And don't try to stop me, Aunt Aida.

Don't expect me to be satisfied.

Did you give me permission to attend to the Royal Assassination Club?

Find out who's following I'll keep an eye on Valerie Wagner.

Yes, and I will continue to investigate to Dina McMillan.

- Hello? - Hi, Bree, this is Lynn.

I have more questions about the profile. I'm already in university.

- I can pass? - Sure.

Is the invasion back?

We have to investigate another lead. I hope it doesn't take too long.

You can help us discover who stole your car

The one we'll give you back tonight.

- If required. - What's the clue?

"Aurora Teagarden is very close to remain single".

Terry, who's still here from the club?

We want to know if you know the appointment.

I know her.

I bet it is from "The Growing Stain",

By Morris Bishop.

Lillian, I didn't know that you read detective novels.

It's not police.

It's about a smart librarian that solves a murder.

As I recall, the author describes her like an almost spinster.

Do you remember who was the victim in the book?

A university professor. They push it from a library balcony.

So you're next.

Bree!

You are well? What happened?

Someone pushed me.

From up there.

I don't think it broke ankle. It must be a sprain.

It could be a fissure. Let them check it out.

Bree.

You are well?

I'm fine.

I'm so sorry that this happened to you

- Did you see who pushed you? - Did not see anyone.

The last clue alluded to a teacher, We thought it was you, but...

- It was me. - But why?

If they want to hurt Roe attacking people nearby...

Maybe they challenge her by attacking people close to you, Nick.

Maybe, but if he wanted to kill me, not the best way to do it...

And he was able to kill sally, but he didn't.

Something tells me that the real plan is...

Kill Aurora Teagarden.

If Valerie or someone else He wants to attack me, let him do it.

But why attack to all my loved ones

Bree found this in her bag.

While searching your insurance card.

- Another clue. - "Problem No. 11".

That's all? It's not a date.

There is a book by Agatha Christie titled "The 13 problems".

It is the first in the series from Miss Marple.

Miss Marple's friends they meet to discuss murders.

It's called "The Club on Tuesday nights."

The Royal Murder Club is inspired by him.

Then the blame It's by Agatha Christie.

What is problem #11?

It's called "The Deadly Herb."

They murder a woman out of jealousy.

- Valerie texted me. - Let me see.

"I need to talk with you as soon as possible. Come to my house".

We'll be there in 10 minutes.

Or... I keep working

And you go with Arthur to talk to her.

Exact.

Valerie Wagner,

Lawrenceton Police. We need to talk.

It's the Police! Open the door!

I see her. It's on the floor.

It does not move.

All clues are in books published in a period of 20 years,

The Golden Age of police fiction.

You said you did a matter about that.

I've been looking for crimes with quotes from detective novels,

But if the clues are customized according to the victim...

Could you expand the search?

To crimes with quotes from novels science fiction, horror and love.

Yes! Romantic novels.

Many results came out.

They seem to belong to the same crime.

Three years ago they found murdered to a woman in Tacoma.

He had moved there to flee from an unknown stalker,

Who left him dates of romantic novels.

Unknown? Didn't they catch the killer?

- Arthur. Hello. - Valerie is in the hospital.

- What?! - We went to his house

And found her unconscious.

They found Valerie unconscious.

- Who poisoned Valerie? - Valerie was poisoned.

- Did you want to commit suicide? - I don't think it was on purpose.

The doctor diagnosed a fault cardiac arrest due to acute poisoning.

Will it be okay?

He's unconscious now, but yeah.

If we hadn't found her I would be dead

He got foxglove poisoning.

- What? - From the clue Bree found.

From the story of Agatha Christie.

The killer poisons a meal with foxglove mixed with sage

And eat enough to get sick

And that no one suspects him

Of having poisoned the victim,

A woman whom he kills out of jealousy.

We found several cupcakes on the counter,

One was half eaten.

You may have thought it wasn't that powerful.

And there was a note directed at you, Roe.

What did he say?

That you are a of your favorite clients

And what do you hope you enjoy the cupcakes.

Valerie accidentally poisoned herself. When I wanted to kill you, Roe.

It went wrong.

Bree was right. His intention was always that.

Something is wrong.

Look at her kitchen. Dough in the bowl,

A cupcake recipe of sage and corn on the table,

Different detective novels, Hammett, Bishop.

Plus, I was at the crime scene. When Sally was attacked.

I also had the alarm code and the keys to Aida's office.

Valerie?

I'm sorry about your friend but everything fits.

I can not believe it.

Valerie, that lovely girl?

Lynn and Arthur are sure that she did all this.

Was he planning to poison you?

If it was her, obviously he was not in his right mind.

I just hope he recovers.

I'm so glad you're okay!

- The nightmare is finally over. - Yes.

- I hope so. - Is that what you expect?

No, I'm sure it's over.

- I love you mom. - Me too.

- I will call you later. - Yes.

THE IDYLLIC LIFE OF JESSICA AND HER FIANCE

Hello Roe!

Sally! Hello!

Shouldn't you be resting at your house?

I was bored and I came to invite you to lunch.

I would love to but...

I'm not ready to believe that Valerie is a murderer.

Didn't it sound strange to you that the last track was not like the others,

What was something so easy to figure out?

Maybe valerie he was getting tired of playing.

I want to go to Corinth to talk to Andrew Morgan.

What happened to his fiancée

I'm sure it's related to this.

- It's Nick. Does it bother you if...? - Of course not.

Hello Nick. Hope you have a nice day.

Not until now. The car broke down.

The problem is that I should go for Bree to her house

And be back here at 3 for a meeting.

I can go through it.

I was going out anyway to run an errand,

But first I'll leave Bree in college.

Sometimes you're too good to be true.

Thanks.

Maybe Bree knows if the case of Tacoma can help us.

Before going to Corinth.

I can go to Corinth.

No. You just got discharged.

We have to go back Get on the horse, Roe.

Also, I can tell Andrew I follow up on the case.

Corinth is 30 minutes away. I'll be right back.

Please Roe. I need to do this.

It's okay.

Just call me as soon as you talk to him.

Done deal.

THE VICTIM'S FIANCE HE'S A CORINTH FIREFIGHTER

Your fiancee was stalked in Portland. For several months.

And they never found out who did it?

We think he was going to class with her. At that time I was studying.

He entered his apartment I broke some things

Stole unimportant items

And left him terrifying notes.

The Times article said that they were quotes from romance novels.

Yes she adored romantic novels.

He called them "his guilty pleasure."

When we moved we believed that would not bother us anymore,

But after committing found her again.

That time he was not satisfied with breaking photos.

But he killed her.

Strangled her with a belt from her closet.

He will have thought that if he did not I could have her, no one else could.

And the police never discovered to the culprit?

They questioned everyone they knew.

But they never had a solid suspect.

Andrew, you or the police, did they ever think

That perhaps that person was not romantically interested in her,

What could you have liked?

I? What do you mean?

Has anyone ever fought for you,

Or a coworker did he give you any clue?

No, almost all firefighters we are men.

Clear.

And after Jessica?

Did you go out with someone or someone wanted to go out with you?

I was broken.

I haven't dated anyone in over a year.

One last question.

Do you happen to know...

To her?

I have not seen her in my life.

Excuse me, but I must go back to work

Thank you very much for talking to me.

Dawn! Thank you for coming to find me.

- It is a pleasure. - Happens.

I'll go get my computer and other materials for the meeting.

We have a few minutes Before going to university.

If you do not mind,

I wanted to ask you some questions about something that disturbs me.

It's the least I can do for all your help.

- Take a sit. I'll be right back. - It's okay.

The mayor requests a final report.

Why isn't it on my desk?

Because there are problems.

The prints on Valerie's phone. From where he wrote to Roe...

Do not tell me They weren't his footprints.

Yes they are, but they were sideways...

And one does not write sideways.

As if someone had placed your fingers?

Yes, and the lab confirmed that Aida's computer hair

It doesn't match Valerie's DNA.

And the note addressed to Roe, with the poisoned cupcakes...

It was not written with Valerie's handwriting.

Someone set the scene in Valerie's kitchen.

Yes, apparently so.

Someone tried to kill her.

I think Agatha Christie he said it clearly.

"All the work of a detective begins

By eliminating false signs and start over."

Before doing anything, we must notify everyone that this is not over.

We need Bree's help.

Sally!

Sally, I just remembered

That after Jessica died, I went out with a woman a few times.

She was a friend of Jessica's.

Did you go out with a friend of hers?

I wouldn't say they were dates. We encouraged each other.

He was kind, intelligent,

But he got fed up with my depression, so we stopped seeing each other.

What was it called?

Serena. Not.

Or Selena? It started with "S".

I have a photo of her and Jessica. I'll show you.

In the cold case of Tacoma

Harassed the victim with clues like that, quotes from books?

Yes, but from romantic novels.

Sally went to talk with the victim's fiancé

To see if you remember a woman with whom...

Wait.

Speaking of Rome...

Sorry.

- Hello Sally. What did you find out? - Hi, Roe.

I'll send you a picture that Andrew gave me

From a woman he dated after Jessica's death.

She was a friend of hers and his name starts with "S".

Well, thanks for the info.

I'm sorry there isn't served for nothing

I'm with Bree, at her house,

So i'll call you later.

Did you find out anything worthwhile?

In fact, no.

He sure found out something.

Just that he dated a girl whose name started with "S".

But it was no use.

You were looking at a photo he sent.

Let me see it

It was a snapshot of the fiancé.

Show me the photo, Aurora.

Fast!

I'm waiting.

My friends used to call me Sabrina.

Was you.

All this time.

You killed Jessica Howard three years ago

And you tried to kill valerie lying about me

And now you need to kill me.

By studying so much about murder you start to think

Why risk it? What are the rewards?

Turns out there are several.

Control, power...

The ability to correct damage.

What harm have I done to you?

Dina, you can come in the door is open!

- I'm almost ready. - There is no rush.

I'm sorry I didn't come earlier.

I had to call a taxi My car is still under repair.

- What's up, Professor Carson? - Dyna...

I called you because I was afraid that Miss Teagarden hurt me.

Luckily I got ahead of him.

As I told you, she is an unstable woman.

He considers us a threat to his relationship with Prof. Miller.

I eat?

Dina, I don't know what he told you about me, but you should call the police!

I warned you, Dina,

That would play the innocent,

But we know that it is not.

I'll hand her over to the police. That's why I have the gun.

Take your keys and take your car to the back.

- Let's go right away. - He's lying, Dina.

- Don't help her kidnap me! -Dina knows me!

He's been working with me for months.

You know I would never lie to you.

Take your phone.

- Dyna... - I'm sorry, Aurora.

Roe, it's me. Bree and you They should have arrived a while ago.

Maybe it was a misunderstanding. Call me.

Hello, where is Bree?

- He doesn't answer the phone. - Neither does Roe.

I had to go for Bree to bring her here.

I do not like this.

Even more so because we know that Valerie did not commit the robberies

Nor did he attack Sally and Bree.

Did you hear what we said?

GOOD DESCRIPTION

WHY?

COOL!

The seal of a crime it's a compulsion.

Do you remember the question mark? Of the photo in Aida's office?

Roe didn't understand why. That clue alone was a question mark.

Bree plays by the rules. That is his hobby.

References must be cited.

All the photographs had written references and that one is not.

Couldn't resist to the question mark.

In striking red.

Do you think Bree left the clues?

I think, and I think he wants to kill Roe.

"Thou shalt not kill" Isn't that the most important rule?

Both are homicide detectives.

They know that the murderers They develop their own rules.

His own sense of morality.

That allows them to justify do what they want.

Do you think Bree wants to kill Roe? To stay with you?

Yeah, it's crazy.

Even if she wanted something with me, she's my boss.

The university would not allow have a relationship with me.

Always follow the rules.

Bree quit a month ago.

- What? - He's leaving at the end of the semester.

He asked me not to tell you.

Hello. I'm looking for Roe.

I was going to my bedroom after 3 p.M.

What happens?

Open the trunk, Dina.

Get in there, Aurora.

Are you calculating if in fact I'm going to shoot you?

Well, maybe you're willing to risk your life

But you won't risk The life of her.

Now, get in the trunk.

Prof. Carson!

Dyne! You received the Messervey scholarship.

Surely you have noticed that I've been using you all this time.

Dina, it's okay. I'll get in the trunk, okay?

- I am already inside. - Now you.

Leave the keys bag and phone.

Yes, I need it urgently.

Fine.

We have an alert to search to Bree and Roe's car

And we send a unit to Bree's house.

We will do our best to find it. And bring her back safely.

- What do we do? - Now they can't do anything.

- We can support. - They must trust us.

Why didn't I notice?

- We have to do something. - Okay, but what?

I think your cousin is the person smartest I know.

I send you a message?

Something better.

Activated the locator of your phone and sent me the authorization of use.

Where is?

Your last location it is on kesterson road.

That's out of town.

- Go. Did you come by car? - Yes.

Fine. I drive. Call Lynn.

Why did you bring us here?

It's Prof. Henner's house. I'm taking care of her during the semester.

He plans to kill us both

And make it look like murder followed by suicide

And will blame you of the attempted murder of Valerie.

What a pity to put Prof. Henner and his beautiful farm,

But sometimes collateral damage it is unavoidable.

And the DNA of the hair on my mother's computer

It will show that they are from Dina, right?

You will also have written messages for Nick as if you were Dina.

Among other things.

But we come to the dramatic denouement sooner than I thought...

But I will not waste this opportunity.

I still don't know what I did to you.

I quit my job,

A job he loved

To be able to have a relationship with nick

And you came and meddled although I had been there first.

He and I are made for each other.

Didn't you think that you and Andrew Morgan were they for each other?

We could be if it hadn't been because

Became obsessed with him memory of Jessica

But I learned my lesson.

Not giving Nick time to believe that he is in love with you.

And what about Valerie?

What did she or Dina do to you?

Valerie butted in and Dina is easy to convince.

Why should everyone have the chance to win over Nick?

Wouldn't that be fantastic get rid of all?

That's the key, isn't it? Get rid of everything.

Get away with it,

Except not everything is working out as you thought, right?

What are you saying?

I've always been ahead of you

In this game of cat and mouse.

In fact, you disappoint me.

You're not even close the respectable enemy she believed.

I think i hear to the police coming.

Run, Dina!

Run!

Hide! Hide!

High! High!

It's Professor Carson! She's gone crazy and she's armed!

Where is Aurora?

Take Dina home close up and wait for the police.

Come on let's go!

Nick.

- I eat...? - This has to stop, Bree.

Too many people they have been injured.

Bree.

Go.

This is not you.

Please just let me help you.

Help me? Is that what you're trying to do?

I know what you're here for. To rescue her.

I read novels of modern detectives,

Where women know how to rescue themselves

You are well?

Thanks.

Yes, I'm fine, thanks to you.

And you're well?

Yes.

Not.

No, this last hour I thought that maybe I would never see you again.

Now I am fine.

- Great talk, Roe. - I agree.

But I'm not sure of the tactics of the police at that time.

I don't know if they imprisoned to the right person.

I'm sure Heirens it was the lipstick killer.

Anyway this is so much better What a frat party.

We're glad you're at the club.

Look. Our two new members.

I should have apologized at the hospital.

I thought they were exaggerating with your famous "criminal mind",

But you know a lot about it.

I know all the time they wanted to help.

But next time let's do it together.

That's what the club is for.

Understood.

I just want to say that catch a murderess is gratifying.

Maybe more than find a certain lost book.

Don't worry. There will be no fine.

Aunt Aida, what are you doing here?

I came to tell you that Valerie woke up. And it will be fine.

I'm glad to hear that.

And I am very happy that you're going to be fine,

But if you are not going to leave me track you down

At least let have someone else do it.

I've got that covered, mother.
