- Hi!
- Hello.
- Hello!
- Hey, guys.
Oh my god, you're here!
- Oh, it's so good to see you.
- Good to see you. Hi.
Good journey? Dude.
- This place is awesome.
- Yeah, I'd say.
Need help with your bags?
Uh, you know?
I'll get those later.
Let's get a drink.
Priorities and such.
Let's do it.
Come on.
Okay.
[soft piano music]
Did someone call a doctor?
Oh....
It's time to get your shots.
[laughs]
Sonia.
Only my wife would suggest
we go on vacation
and rent a castle.
Hey, what can I say?
Go big or go home.
Or, get your passports renewed
and book a place
in the middle of nowhere.
Someone is definitely
in need of a shot...
- or two.
- Mm-hm.
Besides, now we can say
we rented a castle
from a world famous TV star who
just happens to be staying
in the guest house
this week.
I am such a fan of
Francesca Carlyle.
Her show is amazing,
the way that she solves
those true crimes.
I mean, I hope we'll
get to see her in person.
I cannot believe the timing
that she happens
to be staying here this week.
Well, I did some sleuthing
of my own when I found out
that she owns this place
and rents it out.
And I figured out when
she might be here in person.
My wife is no Nancy Drew.
She just happens to follow
Francesca Carlyle
on the socials.
Oh... okay.
I just watch the TV show to come
up with ingenious ways
- to commit m*rder.
- Ahh.
Josh, you haven't changed
one bit since college.
Still the class clown.
I prefer "life of the party."
Why do we put up each other?
I thought this was a great idea
for us to get together.
It's a perfect way
to evaluate...
- Louisa's new fianc.
- Mm.
Oh, "evaluate".
Don't you mean "interrogate"?
I knew he would need
group approval.
We are such a close-knit bunch.
So close that you two
actually got married.
Well, now, with
Sonia and Sydney here,
we have two great additions to
our little circle of friends.
Yeah.
This tequila's
not gonna drink itself.
- Mm.
- SONIA:Yeah.
- No, it's not.
- SONIA: [laughing]
Kat, why don't you
do the toast...
that I know that
you've been rehearsing?
Fine.
The core group would like
to welcome and congratulate
the newlyweds,
Devin and Sonia.
Devin, you scored big time
when you married
this gorgeous creature.
- Mm-hmm.
- SONIA: Yeah.
JOSH: I'd say.
It is so nice to be
with everyone again.
I cannot believe
I haven't seen you all
since our wedding. I...
Well, here's to the newlyweds...
and the "nearly-weds",
- Louisa and Sydney.
- Yeah.
- Here-here, cheers!
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
I was only joking before.
You did a great job
finding this place, Kat.
Aw, thanks, Dev.
You know, I've always said my
wife should be a travel agent.
- [laughing]
- No, I'm serious.
She does all the research.
She finds the coolest places.
Yeah, it's true.
And I was so disappointed
when the week in Tuscany
fell apart last year.
- SONIA: Aw...
- KAT: I know.
So, cheers to Kat for
finally making this happen.
Mm, thank you.
Well, I, for one,
am honored to be a part of this
special group of friends.
I mean, even
though I'm a newbie,
I do feel like
I've known you all for years.
- KAT: Aww...
- Here-here.
Meeting Louisa has been
the best thing
that has ever happened to me.
And it really means a lot
that you've all accepted me
into your "inner circle".
Hm.
I cannot wait to
get to know you all better,
including my fellow countrymen.
[all laugh]
I can't wait to marry you.
Yeah. Mm.
We're happy to finally meet
Louisa's mysterious fianc.
Not really that mysterious.
I didn't mean anything
negative by it.
Just until now,
you've only been a face
in a box on a screen.
Maybe I'm just
a little overprotective.
Louisa's always been
like a sister to me.
Sister? Really?
Isn't that a little
incestuous, honey?
JOSH: Kat, c'mon.
[music]
That's my wife, always
sayin' somethin' inappropriate.
Uh, I don't understand.
Well, Josh
and I dated for a while.
Oh, sh*t.
I'm sorry.
Louisa, I figured
you would've told him.
Uh, it was no big deal.
Wow.
Thanks a lot.
Wait, sorry...
you two were a couple?
Yeah, but years ago,
when we first met in college,
So...
You see, Sydney, Louisa's always
been like a sister to me.
Even when we were dating.
Probably why
you two never worked out.
Especially after Kat set her
sights on you, Josh. Rawr.
KAT: Okay,
I didn't mean to open up
this can of worms...
"Kat"...
out of the bag.
There's no cat, Kat.
There isn't even a bag.
[music]
[sighs] Okay, I'm sorry.
I did not mean to
cause any trouble, Louisa.
Same old Kat.
Some things just
never change, right?
JOSH: Oh, Jesus.
I said I was sorry.
You just couldn't stand
to see me happy, right?
How can you say that?
Maybe because you stole
every single guy I ever dated.
Okay, that's not fair.
It was one.
One guy.
Yeah, and you married him.
Oh my god, Louisa.
You know what, Kat?
Maybe I should blurt out
some secrets about you, hm?
You're being ridiculous.
You've got James Bond
as a fianc.
You can't tell me
you're still holding a torch
for Josh after all these years?
Of course not.
I'm in love with Sydney.
We're getting married
in six months.
You see, Sydney?
There's nothing to worry about.
Look, I know we all have
secrets, and I'm sorry,
I shouldn't have mentioned yours
in front of your new man...
It really wasn't a secret.
I just didn't think
it was that important.
It isn't.
- Oh.
- Not in the slightest.
Mm. Hm.
So, are we still friends?
Oh my god,
always and forever.
As long as I live.
Aw, come here.
- Mm.
- Mm-hmm.
- I'm sorry.
- Yeah, me too.
This party needs more libations.
- KAT: Whoo!
- Refills, anyone?
- SYDNEY: Abso-f*cking-lutely!
- LOUISA: Oh, yeah!
That last shot
hit me just right.
Hey, hey.
Sorry about this lot.
No, it's fine!
They're fine.
- You sure?
- Yes.
Okay.
Would you like another one?
- No, thank you.
- Are you sure?
- I've had more than enough.
- Come on!
That third tequila shot
was it for me.
- No, no, no. I'm fine.
- I'm-- I'm--
I'm really sorry
about that little...
- Oh, yeah.
- Um, scene.
- No! No, no, no!
- Oh, me, too, me, too.
- I overreacted a tad.
- No, you two are like sisters.
Sisters have tiffs, it happens.
It's fine.
I guess you're right.
Well, at least it
happened on the first night.
- Oh, that's true.
- Like, never again, okay.
- Uh, okay.
- Come on, you know what?
I love you guys.
- I love you two together.
- DEVIN: Ooo!
It's gonna be smooth
sailing from here on out, yeah?
- Yeah.
- Sure is.
- Oh!
- Oh! Sure is.
I didn't know it was that
kinda party.
[upbeat dance music]
[music continues]
[music continues]
[music continues]
[distorted party voices] Mm-hmm.
[record scratch,
music cuts out]
- [laughter]
- Oh, god.
I don't know about you guys,
but I think I'm actually ready
to reel it in for the night.
- No!
- Boo!
- Stop!
- Boring!
I just--
I think it's bedtime.
Yep. I suppose I could do with
getting some sleep, too.
I said "bed", Dev, not sleep...
- JOSH: Oh!
- KAT: Oh, okay.
Well, that...
is definitely my cue
to say goodnight to you all.
Roar.
Mm, goodnight.
We will see you
in the morning.
Okay.
What time are we
getting together for breakfast
- tomorrow, guys?
- Mm, I don't know.
We were supposed to have
breakfast included in this place
but it looks
like it's just us.
There doesn't
seem to be any staff around.
You need to call
the estate agent.
I know. I know.
Well, you know, I saw some eggs
and bacon in the fridge.
I mean, I could...
I could handle breakfast.
- LOUISA: Yeah.
- No, I don't mind. Honestly.
- KAT: Aw, you're an angel.
- JOSH: Wow.
Okay, I think, we should head
upstairs and get some sleep.
- Maybe just up to bed.
- Okay.
- ALL: Oh!
- Oh, like that? [laughing]
- And, uh, thanks again, Kat...
- Mm.
for finding
this amazing location.
- Oh, my pleasure.
- Yeah.
I feel like a princess
in my own castle.
Mm, you should.
Wait 'til you see
what I have planned
for your bachelorette party!
- SYDNEY: Ooh.
- Okay... Ooh!
Ciao, ciao!
[laughing]
- Sweet dreams, princess.
- [giggling]
Oh, come on...
[feet tripping on floor]
Okay...
Okay. Jesus.
- So, I guess that leaves...
- [sighs]
just us.
Yeah. Um, I'll see
you upstairs, okay?
Alright.
I'll be waiting.
Okay.
[music]
[distant animal sounds
and whispers]
[music]
[cell phone buzzes]
Who keeps calling you?
[phone buzzes and cuts out]
It's spam.
Where are you going?
I've got indigestion.
And I need a glass of milk.
Go back to sleep.
[footsteps exiting]
[door closing]
[door creaking open and closing]
[piano music]
[music continues]
[Sydney whispering]
[Devin laughs maniacally]
SYDNEY: Hey.
DEVIN: Ssh, ssh,
ssh, ssh, ssh!
Bed time. Bed time.
- DEVIN/SYDNEY: [moaning]
- DEVIN: [kissing] Yeah.
DEVIN: Hey, hey, hey...
SYDNEY: Hang on,
I need another drink.
- I need another drink.
- DEVIN: [laughing]
- I need another drink.
- [laughing]
- SYDNEY: Oh!
- DEVIN: [laughing]
DEVIN: Mm. Mm.
[sipping from bottle, laughing]
[laughing]
[camera clicking]
[thumping sound]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...
whoa, whoa, whoa.
- DEVIN: [laughter]
- SYDNEY: What was that?
[door creaking closed]
[Devin and Sydney laughing]
[music]
[birds chirping]
Good morning, my sunshine.
Morning.
What were you doing last night?
[humming]...
What do you mean?
Well, I, uh, woke up
and I heard you in the shower.
Yeah, I was, uh...
feeling a little sick.
A bit too much wine.
And tequila.
I guess Josh is still
a bad influence.
Well, why didn't you wake me?
Mm. You looked so peaceful.
I didn't wanna disturb you.
[doorcreaking open]
Good morning, people.
What a night. Right?
Josh should be
on his way down... soon.
Usually, he always
beats me to breakfast.
When we're home,
he's walked the dogs
and had a full workout...
by 7 a.m.
Oh my god.
Today I could
barely wake him up.
Yeah, no, I think we're all
a little hung over today...
- Yeah. Ya think?
- aren't we?
Ooh, those eggs look amazing.
Thank you.
Yeah, no, I mean,
I don't mind making breakfast.
I mean, um, god knows
I'm used to running a house.
What's that supposed to mean?
No, nothing. I was just kidding.
Oh, chill out, Dev.
Is it your time of the month?
Mm.
Uh, he's, um,
a little tired this morning.
Yeah, that seems like
it's going around.
And poor Josh
he had to come downstairs
last night to get something
to settle his stomach
after all that tequila.
Oh. He... came downstairs?
Mm-hmm.
What time?
Uh, I'm not sure.
Like, two-ish?
Oh. Yeah, well, I mean,
how long was he gone?
Did he... say anything to you
when he came back to bed?
I don't know,
I was sound asleep.
What's with all the questions?
No, no. No, no reason.
Sorry. Sorry.
I didn't mean to put you
on the witness stand, Katrina.
I was just,
um, making conversation.
Conversations about what?
Aww... there he is.
Nothing, grumpy.
We were just talkin' about
last night's debauchery.
Oh, orange juice.
Well, you are not as young
as you used to be.
A little out of practice
from your college days?
- Mm-hmm.
- [laughing]
Oh.
[silverware scraping plates]
Aw, thanks again
for making breakfast, Sonia.
- That was so nice of you.
- It's fine.
And we don't have to worry
about dinner tonight.
Why don't we just order in?
Where are
Sydney and Louisa?
- Who?
- No, seriously!
- No idea.
- It's like, late!
- They're not down.
- I haven't seen 'em.
I haven't seen 'em, I haven't
heard 'em. Haven't seen 'em.
Well, I thought we were
planning to go for a hike.
Do we wake 'em up or...?
Well, I mean, we can't just
leave without letting them know,
I mean...
I'd be happy to check on 'em.
Okay, um, I'm gonna call
and find out what happened
to this whole breakfast fiasco.
Yeah, and I'll, uh...
check on the lovebirds.
- Alright.
- Thanks, man.
[knocking on door]
Syd, mate.
- Hey.
- Hey.
What's up?
They're not answering.
Well, they wouldn't
still be sleeping, right?
- Uh...
- Do we just...
walk in?
I dunno....
Should we?
- Maybe. I dunno.
- Alright.
What the hell?
Where are they?
Gotta be somewhere.
Well, that's kinda odd,
don't you think?
I don't know what to think.
Well, do you have your phone?
- Call Louisa.
- Yeah.
It went straight to voicemail.
Do you have Sydney's number?
No, I don't.
Maybe Devin does.
- Why would he have it?
- I don't know!
Since we don't,
maybe Sonia and Devon do.
Wow, bite my head off!
What's wrong
with you this morning?
I'm fine.
No, you're acting strange.
Well, it's in your imagination.
Well, it's not my imagination
that our friends just took off
somewhere and didn't
say anything to any of us.
There's gotta be an explanation.
Why don't we just go downstairs,
ask them if they have
Sydney's number.
Fine.
Maybe they've already gone on
that hike we planned.
Should we split up
and look for them?
Josh's rental car is still here,
so they couldn't
have gone too far.
Well, maybe somebody
picked them up.
Without anybody
seeing or hearing anything?
Well, it's a huge property.
You know what?
I'm gonna go get our jackets.
Let's go search
the grounds for them.
Yeah, okay. I'll come with you.
[Dev clears throat]
So what about you, Dev?
Any idea where
Sydney might've gone?
Don't know anything
about Sydney.
Oh. Really?
What's that supposed to mean?
Oh, I don't know. You tell me.
What?
Dev...
we've known each other
for a long time.
What are you talking about?
Stop being so weird.
Hey. Babe, here's your jacket.
Ah, thank you.
Devin, do you
happen to have, uh,
Sydney's phone number?
What is it with you two?
I barely know the guy, geez.
Oh, my lord,
what's his problem?
I have no idea...
[birds chirping]
[soft piano underscoring]
[crickets chirping]
KAT: I'm not overreacting.
- You are, just a little bit.
- Oh, come on....
The pizza should be here
in about twenty minutes.
It's probably a good idea
that we stay in, you know,
just in case
Sydney and Louisa come back.
I feel like
we searched everywhere,
and there's no sign of 'em.
Or the famous Francesca Carlyle,
who you said
was staying in the guesthouse.
All we should care about right
now is finding our friends.
I picked up a
vintage bottle of wine
from that wine store we passed.
I stored it in the basement.
I'll just go ahead and get that.
Well, there's already
two bottles in the fridge.
Better yet.
How can you guys think about
wine at a time like this?
I can think
of a million reasons why.
I mean, what're
we supposed to do?
Oh, I don't know, Dev,
call the police?!
In a foreign country?
Kat, you're letting your
imagination run away with you.
Louisa and Sydney are fine.
Sydney, oh my... oh my god!
Wait, what happened to you?!
Jesus Christ! Sit down. Sit.
See, I knew it wasn't right.
What happened?
Where's Louisa?
Louisa?
What do you mean,
"where's Louisa?"
We thought she was with you.
We can't find her anywhere.
[music]
- Drink this. It should help.
- Cheers.
Let's start from the beginning.
What exactly happened
last night?
I went downstairs
to get some water.
Okay, and what
happened after that?
Well, from what
I can actually remember,
I hit my head
on something pretty hard.
SYDNEY: [grunts] Must have
slipped down the stairs
and knocked myself out.
Then I woke up in the basement.
But the door was stuck.
I've literally been
calling out for hours.
Maybe renting a castle
wasn't such a great idea.
Or maybe someone broke in
and hit Sydney over the head!
This could be connected
to why Louisa's missing.
Or maybe Louisa hit Sydney over
the head and then she left?
Why would she do that?
Any theories, mate?
Of course not.
Well, it obviously
wasn't Louisa.
Yeah. I mean,
she couldn't physically
drag him downstairs anyway.
Unless she had help...
This is ridiculous!
She had no reason.
We are very,
very happy together.
Nobody hit me over the head!
We all just had too much
to drink last night,
and like I said, I slipped.
Jesus.
Yeah.
Must be what happened.
Well, I mean, you
could have a concussion.
Uh, it's fine.
It's a tiny bump.
I'm gonna call the police.
Kat, wait. I--
I can track Louisa's phone.
Great. Then we can get
to the bottom of this.
Wait, you have a
tracking app on her phone?
Did she know about it?
You don't trust her?
Right.
Before you jump to the wrong
conclusions, again,
she knows I have
a tracker on her phone.
She has one on mine, too.
We like to know where each other
are and that we're both safe.
That's not working too well,
now is it?
[doorbell rings]
Pizza's here.
I'll get it.
Wait, where is my phone?
Where was the last place
you remember having it?
Nobody's thinking clearly.
Just call the bloody--
Yeah, call it.
I'll find it.
[owl hooting in the distance]
Toma pizza.
You're the pizza guy?
Pizza.
Yeah, um, uh, you-- you-- cash?
- Oh, cash, yeah.
- Cash?
Yeah. Cash is...
Alright.
I'll take that.
Shoop-shoop.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
Bye.
There she is.
Sorry.
No, thank you.
If anyone has an appetite...
Smells good.
I found it.
It was by the hot tub.
- Mm.
- Good.
Can you see where she is?
- That's weird.
- Hm?
It's saying she's still here.
- Whoa.
- Oh, be careful.
- Are you okay?
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- You know what...
- Sit down.
- Yeah, please. Just relax.
- Sit back down.
Kat, you--
you wanna help me find her?
Yeah, sure.
Well, you know what's weird,
it's saying that the phone
is somewhere near here.
Yeah, well, we weren't
looking for a phone earlier.
It's uh... yeah, you're right,
but, I found it.
Oh my god...
[gasps]
What?
What're you doing?
Oh my god.
You're her.
Yeah, it's really you!
I, I'm so sorry.
I know we haven't met yet, but
we could really use your help.
We're the ones
renting your castle.
Yes, I know.
Welcome.
Um, just to let you know,
breakfast is included,
- but no selfies.
- Oh. Yeah...
Yeah, no, uh, we know,
but this is an emergency.
Our friend is missing.
[sinister music]
So, this is the most recent
photo of all of us.
- And Louisa's in the center.
- FRANCESCA: Ah.
Now, if you were investigating
this for your TV show,
what would you do next?
Ask for more money per episode.
Sorry. I realize how upsetting
this all is for you.
But, you know, when I'm
investigating on TV,
I have a whole team of writers.
So, now I need
you all to help me.
Oh, uh, we were hoping
that you could help us.
I mean, this is your area
of expertise...
You're-- you're so smart
and so beautiful.
Oh, well, flattery'll
get you anywhere.
I do have to tell you
that your friend
will probably not be declared
missing for another 24 hours.
So what do we do
in the meantime?
Well, you look
for her, of course.
I know this castle is massive,
but there are lots
of little nooks and crannies
where she could be hiding.
Well, she's a grown woman.
It's not like she's playing
hide and seek.
Josh, shut it.
Don't be rude to Miss Carlyle.
Oh, please.
Call me Francesca.
Look, I do understand
how upset you all are,
but I'm going to have to ask you
all a few questions, alright?
Have any of you
contacted her parents?
- No. Um, Louisa was adopted.
- Oh.
And, sadly,
she has no more family left.
And the only people that she
knows here are in this room.
[watch alarm buzzing]
Oh. Oh, I am so sorry,
I've completely let the time
get away from me.
I have to make a call
to my agent in London,
but I am going to be available
if you need me.
Thank you, Francesca.
And we'll keep you posted.
Uh, my wife said that
breakfast was included?
Priorities, Joshua!
It's in the contract.
Oh. I'll send my chef
over to you.
I apologize for my husband.
He was just kidding.
Don't worry. I'll make sure that
you're all well taken care of.
That's very kind of you.
- Ah!
- Are you okay?
You look a little dizzy. Oh...
I hope you haven't fallen and
hurt yourself on my property.
No, no.
Happened a few days ago,
before we arrived.
- I'm fine.
- FRANCESA: Hm.
Please, let me escort you out.
I'll see you all later.
[somber piano music]
So. Francesca says if we haven't
gotten word from Louisa
by tomorrow morning,
she'll call the police
personally herself.
Apparently, we'll get special
attention if she makes the call
rather than a bunch of tourists.
Well, we all just need
to stay positive.
There's no reason to
jump to conclusions.
For all we know,
Louisa had her reasons
to be leaving
that we know nothing about.
That doesn't make any sense.
How 'bout we get some wine,
we get some food,
go relax in the hot tub.
Relaxing is a little easier
said than done right now.
Yeah, I'm not in the mood.
Well, worrying's
not gonna solve any problems.
Well, I don't feel like it.
Josh is right.
A glass of wine might relax you.
No, my head hurts now.
C'mon...
I'll rub your shoulders.
How can you even think about
relaxing when Louisa's missing?
Alright, you win! Go to bed.
I'll be up in a bit.
There's nothing
to worry about, Kitty-Kat.
You know I hate it
when you call me that.
I'm Sorry, Katrina!
Oh, who-- who put the cover
on the hot tub?
It wasn't me.
Well, the hot tub's
supposed to be covered
while we're not using it, so...
Oh, look who memorized
the house rules,
"Miss Goody Two Shoes".
- Oh my god.
- Don't be a knob.
Just help me get
the damn thing
[flapping of hot tub cover]
Ah! [panting]
What...? [whimpering]
[water trickling]
[ominous music]
[truck engine starting]
[ambulance siren blaring]
[Kat whimpers]
I can't believe
this is happening!
[knocking at the door]
C'mon, now what?
I'll get it.
I heard an ambulance.
What the hell is going on?
[menacing musical sting]
That's all we know.
This had to be an accident.
Accident?
Are you sure?
If the police hadn't
taken away our passports,
I'd be packing up right now
and getting the hell
out of this place.
There will be an autopsy.
And depending
on what that reveals,
you could all be suspects...
in a m*rder.
Aw, sh*t!
That's all you can say?
KAT: Josh, stop!
Please. Francesca,
can you help us with this mess?
I mean, you're the expert!
Kat, I don't think
that's such a great idea.
Yeah, I'm with Josh.
I'm not sure about this.
But we need to get
to the bottom of this.
And with Francesca's help.
Alright.
I'll think about it.
This is such a tragic situation.
Try to get some rest
and we'll all meet again
in the morning.
Oh, and I suggest that you all
lock your bedroom doors tonight.
One of you could be a m*rder*r.
[soft piano music]
Goodnight.
[music]
[birds chirping]
Who the hell are you?
I'm Chauncey.
What's-- what's a Chauncey?
No, that's my name.
It's Chauncey.
I'm the chef Francesca Carlyle
sent to make your breakfast.
I don't have much
of an appetite this morning.
That's because you never tasted
the way I make eggs.
No, it's because
we recently lost a friend.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I, I didn't know.
Now you do.
Why don't you go
fetch some coffee?
Francesca Carlyle's on her way
over here to interrogate us.
Uh, and by the way,
where've you been hiding
these past few days?
Who said I was hiding?
[playful music]
FRANCESCA: How long have you
known Louisa's fianc?
Oh, we-- We only just met him
in person on this trip.
I know. I was drunk,
but maybe I didn't
slip and fall down the stairs.
Any other lapses of memory?
We were all havin' a great time.
The drinks were flowin'.
We were dancing...
I mean, I didn't really
know Louisa all that well.
I mean, I'm a relatively
new addition to this group.
Maybe I was pushed.
So who do you think
would have pushed you?
It got late, so we went to bed.
But I know that Louisa was head
over heels in love with him.
And your husband was in bed
with you all night long?
I went to the kitchen.
I was...
thirsty.
Dehydrated from too much wine.
Dehydration seems to be
a theme with this group.
Did you see anyone else
while you were...
rehydrating?
Did Sydney tell you he saw me?
No. Why?
There's absolutely
no evidence of any break-in.
There has to be.
Chauncey? Did you see anything
out of the ordinary last night?
No, I didn't.
That was the last time
I saw her alive.
What do you think
happened to her?
He used to be a model,
but now he works
in computer tech support
and that's how
the two of them met.
She was having an issue
with a laptop.
The only thing
I keep thinking is that
she must have fallen asleep
in the hot tub and drowned.
If Louisa
did accidentally drown,
how did she managed
to put the cover
back on the hot tub?
Sonia...
if you were so sound asleep,
how can you be so sure
that your husband
never left your bedroom?
I can't believe that
all of this is happening.
It just...
feels so surreal.
Yeah.
It's unreal.
Listen, is there something
that you're not telling me?
No. Is there something
you're not telling me?
No.
You know, you disappeared
for quite a while last night.
I didn't disappear.
I went down to get some milk.
We've been through this.
I came back upstairs
and you were asleep.
Well, did you see
anyone else downstairs?
Oh, Jesus.
I've already answered these
questions from Miss Marple.
I don't feel like
being cross-examined
by my own wife.
Where are you going?
I need some space.
I'm sorry I made you feel bad!
You did!
[door creaking open]
[door creaking closed]
[organ music]
[heavy door opening]
[organ music continues]
[heavy door closing]
Well, well, well.
What would you like
to see me about?
I wanna know
why you k*lled Louisa.
- You are joking.
- We had a plan!
Oh, I'm very aware of the plan.
Hence, why I didn't
k*ll her last night.
How 'bout you?
What about me?
What about you?!
I'm not the one having
a secret affair with Devin.
Please. I don't know
what you're talking about.
You know what I'm talkin' about.
I saw you last night.
- Oh, dear.
- Mm-hmm.
You saw that?
Yeah.
I'm still tryna unsee it.
And what was I supposed to do?
You were supposed to be marrying
Louisa, who's now dead!
He took me by surprise!
I was in shock.
Shock?
Well, you clearly blew it.
Hey!
Nothing got blown.
Not from where I was standin'.
Aw...
you're jealous.
Get off me!
Now you know how I felt
when Devin made his move on me.
Okay, then what?
When I pushed him away,
he apologized profusely
and blamed the tequila.
It's not my fault,
I'm obviously... irresistible.
I'll try to resist.
Anyway...
what did you do
after you saw us?
I went up
to check on Louisa.
And?
And she was dead.
And how do you
know that for sure?
Nobody sleeps
with their eyes open!
There was a pillow by the bed.
Somebody probably suffocated
her and moved her body!
Things got pretty tense
between Kat and Louisa.
Kat would never commit m*rder...
let alone lift the dead weight.
Hm. Perhaps she had some help.
Hey, you better watch it.
I told you I had
nothing to do with this.
Fine!
Then you have to believe
that I didn't either.
[grunts]
I'm sorry.
I suppose I am the most...
logical suspect.
I'm sorry that
I hit you over the head.
[laughing]
Don't tell me...
then you pushed
me down the stairs
and locked me in the cellar.
When I found out
that Louisa was dead,
I thought that you k*lled her.
I had to come up with
some sort of credible alibi!
Did you have to hit me
so bloody hard?!
I had to make it look legit!
You nearly k*lled me!
Listen to me.
I don't think I believe you.
I've worked really hard
on this plan.
Setting up so you could actually
fix that laptop of hers.
I did my part.
I got her to fall
in love with me.
Well, now we're both screwed
if you k*lled her.
Why would I do that?
We were 50/50 partners.
And now?
We end up with nothing.
If what you say is true,
it still begs the question:
who k*lled her?
And why?
[music]
[squeaky cart rolling]
[music]
Most important meal of the day.
Breakfast is included,
and no matter what,
I'm including it.
Those eggs look...
delicious.
Thank you.
Uh, yeah, I think I'm just gonna
stick with my coffee, thanks.
Oh, a little food'll
help you think better.
[sniffing]
My toast is burning. Oh.
For a five-star chef, he's, um..
so bad.
Where was he
the first night, anyway?
Good morning.
Oh, lord.
"She-lock Holmes" again.
Sarcasm is the lowest
form of wit.
Francesca has
some news to tell us.
Yes, you asked for my help,
so I am here to
try and uncover the truth.
How much did you all know
about your friend Louisa?
Uh, well, we knew that,
uh, she was an only child.
Um, she was adopted by
middle-class parents who,
unfortunately,
died in a car accident
our first year
in college together.
And she didn't
have any other family,
so we essentially became
her family at that point.
My researchers have
tracked down Louisa's attorney
and they've discovered
that those middle-class
parents who adopted her
left her ten million dollars.
What?
[sighs]
Well, I guess this
lets me off the hook.
Really?
How so?
We weren't married.
So, I'd have
no motive to k*ll her.
I loved her so much,
I was willing to sign a prenup.
Of course.
Um, Sydney,
I have some good news
and some bad news.
I think I've already had
the absolute worst news.
Louisa changed her will.
What're you talkin' about?
There's a new codicil
dated three weeks ago
in which she leaves
everything...
to you, Sydney.
Married or not.
This... can't be so.
It is so.
[sighs]
[clearing throat]
I'm sorry, I, um...
inherit...
Everything.
Uh, unless, of course,
you k*lled her.
In which case, as you know,
it's against the law
to profit from a crime.
I was knocked out
all night long.
You all know that.
You're all my witnesses.
Oh...
Josh, you look like
you're about to implode.
I'm just in shock, that's all.
I don't know what
Louisa was thinking.
She may've signed her
own death certificate
by changing her will.
Yes, well, I'm sorry
to have laid this
bombshell on all of you, but,
um, I'm afraid
I do have to go now. I...
I have an interview
with People magazine.
I'd be delighted
to show you out.
Oh, thank you.
Have a nice day.
Mm-hmm.
I wish she'd
mind her own business.
I prefer talkin' to Francesca.
She's been way more helpful
than the police have been.
Lucky us.
Since I botched breakfast,
I'll stay and fix
everyone a nice lunch.
Our luck...
never ends.
I'll clean this up.
Thank you.
I'm gonna get some air.
Why don't you join me?
Sure.
What was that all about?
I have no idea.
[birds chirping]
You and I need to have a...
a little chat.
About...?
About the other night.
The night when
Louisa was m*rder*d.
I saw you and Sydney together.
What?
Went downstairs
for a glass of milk...
I saw you two bein' intimate.
I-- I don't know
what you think you saw,
but it wasn't at all
what it looked like.
What did it look like, Dev?
Nothing happened.
I was just...
pissed.
You know, I was muckin' about.
C'mon, man, you know me.
I'm not really that way.
I'm not judgin' you, Dev.
But I can't help
but think that you and Sydney
are in this together.
You tell Sydney you saw us?
Of course not.
Please.
Please, don't tell Sonia either.
You should've been thinkin'
about Sonia the other night.
I'm not gonna say anything.
But Francesca's another story.
By me being silent, technically,
I'm obstructing
an investigation.
Josh, I swear, I had nothing
to do with Louisa's death.
I mean, why would I k*ll her?
I, I couldn't hurt a fly.
I'm not a psycho.
Yeah, Norman Bates said that.
I had nothing to do
with Louisa's death.
Josh!
Katrina wants you.
Where is she?
She's in the wine cellar
looking around.
What does she think
she's gonna find there?
You'll have to ask
her that question.
You better be tellin'
the truth about Louisa.
For your sake.
[sighs]
That seems weird.
You don't remember?
What're you two doin' down here?
I'm trying to reassure your wife
no one hit me over the head
- the other night
- Hm.
Uh, wait. What's this?
That looks like a button.
Yeah.
Looks like your button, Josh.
Of course, it's my button.
I came down here
to get some wine.
It must've gotten hooked
on that wine rack there.
Is there something
you need to tell us?
Can I have my button back?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
What if this is evidence?
We got to detectives?
Can I just have
my g*dd*mn button?
Wow.
Wow. Well, you're
such a pillar of integrity,
why don't you tell Kat here
what you were up to
the other night?
What on earth
are you going on about?
What are you talkin' about?
When I came downstairs
in the middle of the night--
Josh.
I saw Sydney and Devon...
talking.
So?
Well, there wasn't a lot of
talking that was going on.
But I did happen to get a photo.
Why would you take
a picture of them?
We were just having
a little chat.
Okay. I'm gonna go hear
what Devin has to say.
And you know what?
Here's your g*dd*mn button back.
Oh, well, thank you.
What on earth
are you playing at?
Trust me.
[sinister music]
JOSH: I just don't understand
why you think I have
something to do with this.
KAT: I didn't say that.
I just wanna know why you didn't
tell me where you were.
Because that's what you said.
No, you keep--
How's lunch coming?
- You're in for a big surprise.
- Mm.
I made nice cheese sandwiches.
Uh, yeah, that--
that looks... great.
Uh, hey, can we please
keep talkin' about this?
Yeah, we'll go take a walk.
We'll get some air.
Don't take too long.
You don't want
lunch gettin' cold.
We wouldn't want our...
cheese sandwiches to get cold.
There's hot soup, too!
Alphabet.
Oh, c'mon, Devin and Sydney?
- There's no way!
- Yeah, way!
Well, that doesn't
prove anything.
How 'bout this one?
- Holy crap.
- Mm-hmm.
Are you kidding?
Do you think this
has anything to do
with what happened to Louisa?
Yes, I do!
Oh my god, this is so crazy!
- [gasps]
- h*....
Who the hell are you?
I'm Andrej. I work here.
Um, are you the gardener?
Gamekeeper.
Assuming you're not
in charge of board games.
I look after
the animals on the estate.
Why haven't we seen you before?
I've been up in the mountains.
I, uh, I must
get back to work now.
Oh, wait, um, did you hear
what happened here?
That...
someone died?
I don't know
anything about that.
As I said,
I have a lot of work to do.
It's piled up
since I've been away.
Excuse me.
Jesus.
Francesca Carlyle's staff
is like the Addams Family.
First Chauncey,
and now we get some crazy
Norseman with an axe?
Yeah, something's
off with that guy.
Do you--
do you think that maybe he...?
I've been working on
some theories
about the night
Louisa was m*rder*d.
I think we should be talking
about this with Francesca.
Why would we be
talking to Lady Columbo?
- Well--
- If, if she got m*rder*d,
we can figure
this out ourselves.
I'm not a detective.
I don't even
like Agatha Christie!
All that talking is boring.
Well, alright, alright, then,
picture this scenario, Kat...
[heavy gates clanging open]
SYDNEY: Hey...
DEVIN: [moaning]
[kissing]
Yeah.
[camera shutter clicking]
[laughing]
Oh, whoa, whoa...
DEVIN: [laughing]
JOSH: What if I wasn't
alone in the hallway?
Maybe Louisa saw
exactly what I saw.
Sydney and Dev had moved
the party to the hot tub.
- We're gonna get caught.
- No, we won't.
We're gonna get caught.
- I promise..
- You're so bad.
And Louisa follows them.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...
- Oh my god!
What is happening? Sydney?!
Louisa, it--
just calm down, alright?
It's-- It's not how it looks.
How could you?
And you, Devin...
you're one of my oldest friends.
I never thought
you would betray me!
It's just a
misunderstanding, Louisa.
Oh, is it?
Then let's see what
Sonia has to say about this.
No, no, no, no, no...
You can't tell Sonia, please.
Please, we just got married.
She-- she'll leave me.
Please, Louisa.
Well, maybe you should have
thought of that before
you put your
hands on my fianc.
- C'mon, Louisa, stop!
- Devin.
There's nothing
you can do to stop me.
So... Hey!
JOSH: Devin drowns her
to keep her quiet.
- Devin! Devin!
- Stop! Stop it!
Devin!
LOUISA: Ah!
LOUISA: Oh! Ah! Ah! Ah!
[water splashing]
Ah!
[heavy door closing]
So, you think that
Devin is capable of m*rder?
To save his marriage.
I don't buy it.
I mean, we've known
the guy for years.
Well, maybe Devin
wasn't in it alone.
[chains clanging]
DEVIN: f*ck' sexy man...
SYDNEY: [moaning]
DEVIN: [kissing]
Yeah?
[cell phone camera clicking]
[loud thumping]
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa...
[Devin laughing]
JOSH: What if Louisa told Sonia
what she saw and Sonia snaps?
[Devin laughing]
Devin!
Tell me this isn't true.
Tell me this lying b*tch
is making it all up to hurt me!
Why would I make this up?!
I'm trying to help you
so you will dump this loser!
Devin, say something!
Is this true?!
No, Luisa! She's completely
misread the situation!
Look, we tried to explain,
but as usual, Louisa,
went ballistic...
JOSH: The two of them have a
good old-fashioned cat fight.
You're crazy!
Crazy?
Okay, I'll show you crazy.
- [choking]
- Louisa!
- [grunting] No!
- Ah!
Get inside there!
- Sonia!
- Ah!
- Sonia!
- Ah!
Ah! Ah!
[grunts]
- [grunts]
- Ah!
JOSH: Louisa ends up dead.
Sonia!
[high-pitched ringing sound]
[panting]
Oh my god...
- What've you done?
- Oh my god...
- Wait, is she dead?
- What have you done?
Is she dead?
No... Wait, no...
I'm gonna go to jail!
- Uh, No... No, no, I'll fix it.
- No, no... No, no, no, no...
- No, no, no!
- I'll fix it!
Okay. Wait, no, Syd--
then Sydney is a witness!
JOSH: Maybe he's passed out.
So, Sonia and Devin are able
to cover their tracks
and they push Sydney
down the wine cellar stairs.
[sinister music]
Well, that's the only other idea
I can think of, really, but--
Uh, that's a...
that's a colorful take on it.
Okay, okay, then here's
the most realistic scenario.
[sinister music]
JOSH: Louisa follows Sydney
and Devin to the hot tub...
Sydney goes berserk about her
cancelling the wedding.
I did not...
JOSH: He drowns Louisa
and blackmails Devin
into covering for him.
Baby.
C'mon, you have to believe me.
I love you.
We are finished.
Our wedding is off.
Devin, if you want him,
he's all yours.
You're not walking away from me!
Stop it!
Who the hell
do you think you are?!
What?!
Who the hell
do you think you are?!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
[water splashing]
[music]
[panting]
You breathe a word
of this to anyone...
and I'll tell
your wife everything.
And you'll be lucky
if she doesn't drown you.
[dramatic music swells]
Sydney claims that
he was out cold all night
and just stuck
in that wine cellar.
Maybe.
[somber piano music]
[panting]
[footsteps running away]
[somber music continues]
[sighs]
[somber music continues]
JOSH: And presto.
The perfect alibi.
[body thudding
onto the ground]
KAT: Okay. All of this sound
more than farfetched.
Yeah so is Louisa
being m*rder*d.
C'mon, these are our friends.
What if that creepy Chauncey
or the weird gamekeeper
guy m*rder*d her?
Okay, I'll admit...
they're a little strange.
But there's no motive.
Well, you don't need a motive
if you're a homicidal maniac.
Those guys weren't
even on the grounds
when we got here,
and neither was Francesca.
What about Francesca?
- An iconic television star?
- Yeah.
- Have you lost your mind?
- Just bear with me here.
Chauncey and that
unfriendly gamekeeper,
they coulda seen
Louisa in the hot tub
while Sydney was knocked out.
And I'm pretty sure
they're strong enough
to hold her head underwater.
Like you said before,
what would be the motive?
Maybe Francesca planned the
whole thing for her TV show.
I could actually see her hands
around Louisa's neck.
"My dear,
you've been cancelled!"
Oh my god, seriously?
That's the most ridiculous
thing you've said yet.
What're you talking about?
TV stars do all sorts of things
for ratings and fame.
Then, according to you,
there would be
two other suspects
that you had considered...
you and me.
You, my dear,
are above suspicion.
Thank you, my love.
What about you?
You serious?
You're really asking your
husband if I could
m*rder someone?
I was just joking.
I don't think it's funny.
I thought we were
brainstorming crazy ideas.
You must really
think a lot of me
after twenty years of marriage.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to upset you.
You did. You hurt my feelings.
Sorry, I wasn't being serious!
Yeah...
and that's what
hurts the most.
Here, you look cold.
Where are you going?!
[car engine roaring]
[tires screeching]
KAT: Francesca, thank you so
much for inviting me over.
And your castle is so stunning.
Do you spend much time here?
Well, whenever I'm
on hiatus from my show.
I inherited it
from my third husband.
You've had three husbands?
Well, actually I've had four.
I'm hoping that the fifth one
will be my lucky chance.
Why don't you have
one of these biscuits?
I have them flown in
from Marks and Spencer's.
So, tell me what happened.
Well, my husband went crazy.
Define "crazy".
We were just talking,
and Josh had all these
crazy theories as to
how Louisa might have died.
And we were discussing
various scenarios,
and I just mentioned
that he would be
a possible suspect as well.
He just freaked out,
but I was kidding.
I don't think my husband
is actually capable of m*rder.
Oh, lemme tell you
from experience,
I know many husbands that
could be capable of m*rder.
Well, he drove
off furious at me.
You know, you told me
that Josh had a laundry list
of people that he thought
might have k*lled Louisa.
Oh, yes. He's unbelievable.
He even had you down
as a possible suspect.
Me?
Well, he really does have
a very vivid imagination.
Mm.
And this is all just so awful!
Louisa was
one of my oldest friends.
I actually met
my husband through her.
So, they were close?
Yes. Uh, they...
once dated.
Were you aware that before
Louisa changed her will,
Josh would be her soul heir?
Wait, what?
Why would Louisa leave Josh
everything in her will?
You never knew.
No, I had no idea.
Did Josh know?
Definitely not.
And my husband doesn't
keep secrets from me.
Oh, well, then he is a very
remarkable husband indeed.
[sinister music]
[bell ringing]
[up tempo music]
[ominous music]
Hey, it's me.
Yeah, I know.
Come on, man, there's no need
to make threats like that.
I'm gonna get you your money,
Alex!
I will get you
every penny, okay?
You don't need
to talk like-- Alex?
Alex!
[music]
[sighs]
[door opening and closing]
[sighs]
- Josh! There you are.
- Kat.
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry. It's my fault.
I overreacted.
No, baby, I know
you can never m*rder anyone,
let alone our friend.
We're not thinking clearly.
We just lost our best friend.
I know.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I saw you go in
to see Francesca.
Any new information?
Uh, yeah, actually, there is.
Did you know that
Louisa had her will changed?
Let me guess:
I was set to inherit everything.
Wait...
you knew?
I'm joking.
Well, it's not a joke.
You're the beneficiary.
You're saying you had no idea?
No, I didn't know.
Francesca must be wrong.
No, she's not.
She apparently spoke
to Louisa's lawyer.
- Why would she do that?
- I don't know.
You always said
she was like a sister to you.
Did she include you and Devin?
I don't know. I didn't ask!
Alright, I--
It's a moot point...
because of him.
I'm sorry to disappoint you.
Yeah, is that
why you k*lled her?
- Josh!
- You know what?
I am so done with this.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
You're gonna have to be a little
faster next time, mate!
Both of you, stop it!
This is the last thing we need.
Grow up!
[door opening and closing]
[sighing]
What the hell are you doin'?
You almost landed that punch.
Good job, you ducked
out of the way.
Looks like she bought it.
Yeah, she doesn't
suspect anything.
We might even be able
to salvage this mess.
If you don't
do anything stupid.
[birds chirping]
Where the hell is she goin'?
[car engine rumbling]
[car tires screeching]
[car engine rumbling]
So, really shouldn't
be driving anywhere.
Why not?
Well, she just seemed
a bit pissed off.
[ominous music]
[creaky door opening
and closing]
Oh, god, this room
gives me the creeps.
Kat's not answering
her cell phone.
I don't like this.
No, it's been hours now.
I'm getting really worried.
Don't scare him, Sonia.
What, after what
happened to Louisa?
You're not helping, Sonia!
I think it's time
we called the police.
No, we're not
gonna call the police.
I'm gonna
go over to Francesca's.
Kat was over
there this afternoon.
She might know something.
She's back...
and would like to see
all of you in the sitting room.
My wife?
No.
Francesca Carlyle.
[sinister music]
[church bell ringing]
[sighs]
I have some...
some extremely unfortunate news.
There's been an accident.
[soft music]
Um. Oh my God.
Is... Kat?
Francesca...
where's my wife?
I'm sorry to have
to tell you this, Josh...
No...
No!
She's dead?!
[music]
Well, where is she?
I need to see her!
Please, Josh,
try to stay calm.
She rushed outta here
this afternoon.
That was the last
I heard from her!
Apparently, her car skidded
off the road and it hit a tree.
Oh, man...
How did it happen?
Chauncey was driving
me out to dinner.
When we came back,
we recognized your car,
and then we saw
two men trying to rescue her.
And all of a sudden,
the car just...
burst into flames.
Why wasn't
I informed by the police?
They are on their way.
Was she speeding?
How did the accident happened?
Accident?
Well, what makes you think
that this was an accident?
Of course it was an accident!
[music]
Maybe somebody
tampered with the car.
Who'd wanna k*ll my wife?
Oh, for Christ's sake,
we're not a bunch of
cold-blooded K*llers!
Well, in case
you haven't noticed,
two of us are now dead!
We're starting
to run out of suspects.
Were you trying to k*ll
your wife, Josh?
You've got some nerve
accusing me
of something like that.
I love my wife.
I loved her!
I didn't do this.
Well, this isn't just
coincidence or bad luck.
I am sure that
you tried to k*ll Kat.
I would never hurt Kat!
Never!
As her husband,
you are the prime suspect.
I don't care what you think!
I didn't do it!
Then who did?
FRANCESCA: Any ideas?
Yeah.
I have an idea.
[music]
Don't I, Sydney?
What the hell
are you talking about?
You cut the brakes.
And why would I do that?
You know why.
- [laughs]
- Mm.
You're crazy.
When she ran off,
you said she shouldn't
be drivin' that car.
She really shouldn't
be driving anywhere.
I just said she seemed upset!
I don't believe you!
Sydney did this.
I can prove it.
Oh, shut up.
Well, wh--
what is actually going on here?
Maybe you need to talk to
Sydney and Devin about that.
I don't know
what he's talkin' about.
Like hell you don't.
I saw you, didn't I?
The night we first got here.
When you brutally
m*rder*d Louisa.
- What?
- Wait, uh...
Devin, what--
what is he talking about?
Don't listen to him.
He's out of his mind.
I swear on my life.
I came straight up to bed...
after Josh saw me with Sydney.
Yeah. I saw
your husband with Sydney
in what I would call
a compromising position.
Please, baby, I can explain.
No, no, no.
Oh, no, it's okay.
I think I've, um,
heard quite enough.
Do you really think
I don't notice
you looking at him?
[dance music]
I'm not a total idiot, Devin.
I always notice.
Where are you going?
Pack.
You can't just leave.
I'm not.
I'm packing your things
and you're the one leaving.
Why don't you go
and get yourself a hotel
or something somewhere,
until we get our passports back.
So, Devin,
I want to know
more about this little scene
that Josh allegedly saw.
There's no allegedly.
I know what I saw.
Look, it was all
just a big misunderstanding.
I was drunk.
Anyway, what's this
got to do with Louisa?
She knew.
How?
I told her that night.
I wasn't gonna let her
make the biggest mistake
of her life marrying
a gold digger like you.
Agh...
She was calling
off the wedding.
That's why he had to k*ll her,
to get the inheritance!
That's bollocks
and you know it!
I didn't know
anything about the will.
Josh, when I first told you
about Louisa's will,
did you know anything
about the codicil?
- Well, I lied about that.
- Mm.
But everything else
was the truth.
I'm telling you, he k*lled her!
He was comin' for me.
I drove that car
for a short distance.
- My poor wife wasn't as lucky.
- Agh...
This is a pack of lies!
Where's the proof?
I suggest you get
a good lawyer, mate.
Yeah?
Well, if I'm
going down for this...
someone else is coming with me.
Josh and I,
we were in it together.
No!
You k*lled Louisa,
and you k*lled my wife!
You k*lled my wife...
No.
He didn't.
Kat...
you're alive.
Josh Williams,
Sydney Drummond...
you are both under arrest
for the m*rder of Louisa Hayes.
Wh-- Where's the police?
They've been conspicuously
absent this entire time.
And I've been inconspicuously
watching you since
the night after the m*rder!
Every day.
I'm Chief Inspector Santini.
Interpol.
Ugh.
[dramatic music sting]
[water splashing]
Ha-ha-ha-ha!
The beauty of
video surveillance.
I knew that Josh was
having an affair with Louisa.
And that's why
I hid those cameras,
thinking I would catch them.
But instead I got proof
of an actual m*rder.
[sinister music]
Kat believed that
you had an accomplice.
- But she couldn't prove it.
- [laughs]
That's when I came up with
the idea to fake my own death.
You did that too?
How dare you?
I did this to protect you!
Protect me?!
FRANCESCA: You m*rder*d
Louisa in her bed.
[muffled whimpering]
FRANCESCA: And then you
put her body in the hot tub
to create confusion.
- [pool cover ripping off]
- [scream]
But you're very photogenic.
You told me she was already
dead when you found her.
Josh made me believe
that he moved the body
and then hit me over the head
just to give me an alibi!
None of this needed
to happen, and now...
I've lost the of my life.
Oh... Saint Sydney...
it is called
"conspiracy to m*rder"!
Why, Josh?
Why'd you do it?
Don't you wanna tell them?
Oh, he needed the money!
Meet my husband,
the compulsive gambler.
You knew about
my gambling debts?
Of course I did.
How'd you think you
were gonna hide that from me?
How much money do you owe?
A lot!
I owe a lot!
You gotta understand,
I was desperate.
I did this because I love you.
Oh my god, that is rich!
You've said some things
in your day--
No, no, it's true!
Don't touch me.
They were comin' for me.
They were makin' threats
against you to get to me.
- I didn't have a choice!
- There's always a choice.
Josh made me do this!
I didn't have to twist
your arm, now did I?
All I had to do was get Louisa
to fall in love with me.
It was his stupid idea
to k*ll Louisa for the money.
And believe me,
I tried to say "no".
Josh, he's very persuasive.
So, you figured,
"What the hell?"
Take your fianc's life
and then take her money.
Why did you need
the money so badly?
I'll tell you.
It was easy to rope in Sydney.
I met him in Vegas.
He was laying down some
pretty hefty bets of his own.
What was your end game, Josh?
My end game?
Was to frame Sydney.
So he didn't
get the inheritance.
And I'd be the next in line.
Neat and tidy.
After all,
what's a little
m*rder between friends?
So you love me so much
that you k*lled someone
to keep me safe?
Yes.
I love you, Kat.
Don't expect me
to visit you in prison.
C'mon, you don't mean that!
Don't worry about it.
Kat'll have plenty of time
to change her mind.
With your good looks
and your good behavior,
you might only do maybe...
forty, fifty years!
Nothing.
Don't worry, darling.
It'll fly by.
At the risk of sounding
insensitive but...
who inherits
Louisa's money now?
Well, her
two remaining best friends.
You and Kat.
[soft piano music]
[ominous music]
[indistinct radio chatter]
[distorted heavy footsteps]
[music continues]
[sirens in the distance]
[ominous music]
Are you okay?
Yeah. I'm fine.
Where's Devin?
He's, uh, upstairs.
Packing.
Wow. Okay.
So, you're sure
you're really done with him?
Obviously.
I'm sorry.
No, you're not.
Because now you
and I can finally be together.
- With all the money!
- [laughing]
I can't believe
we actually did it.
No, you actually did it.
When did you figure out
what I was doing?
I never take my eyes off you.
[distorted dance music]
KAT: I always thought
you had a plan.
I mean, it was pretty easy.
Josh has always
been such an idiot.
That guy, he's
always plotting something.
You are so brilliant.
You know,
after all these years,
he always thought
he was playing me,
but I've always
been one step ahead of him.
You ever feel a little guilty
that you could have stopped
all of this and Louisa
would still be alive?
No, honestly.
I never really liked her.
I feel like
that was her destiny.
And this?
This is our destiny.
We're gonna have
all this money, baby.
And you're gonna
get your half from Devin
when you divorce his a*s.
- Mm.
- [kissing]
Clever girls.
Dev...
it's not what it looks like.
Where have I heard that before?
Oh, just stop. Let me explain.
I heard
everything.
Okay, listen,
let me talk to Devin...
alone.
Okay, fine.
I can't wait to
get out of this awful place.
Devin, we were just--
fantasizing.
It, it was only a joke.
We were only joking.
Joke?
You expect me to believe that?
[soft piano music]
Okay, What do you want?
You know,
I could live without you.
But I'll be damned
if I'm livin'
without my share
of that inheritance...
seein' as you and Kat worked...
so hard to get it for me...
you can forget about a divorce.
So, we stay married, then.
Leave any time you want.
You wanna get your hands
on my share of that money...
you'll have to k*ll me first.
[tense music]
[gasps]
- [panting]
- [sighs]
[somber music]
Uh!
- Come on. Drag it...
- [grunting]
Okay...
[grunting]
Oh my god. Oh my god.
Oh... Okay.
I feel like someone's
gonna find him.
No... No, there's no chance.
- No...
- Okay.
But, what if...
what if Francesca
comes snooping?
Oh, sh*t, who cares?
She knows that you left Devin.
You asked him for a divorce,
and if anyone asks,
you never saw him
or heard from him again.
Yeah. Okay.
So, "Devin was so conflicted."
"I hope he didn't do anything
to harm himself."
Right? Does that sound okay?
No, listen, you're--
oh my god, you're amazing.
No, you're amazing.
I can't wait to get the hell
outta this place and...
we'll start our
lives together, right?
Okay.
So you really think
we're in the clear?
Oh my god, trust me.
No one's gonna find him.
Alright... okay.
Okay. Let's get outta here.
Let's go.
[tense music]
[ominous music]
Oh, this is a hell of a finale
for my next season's show!
Yeah!
[laughing]
- Ah!
- Whoa...
[dramatic music]
[music continues]
[music stops]
