00:00:00You
00:00:20How you feeling like I'm gonna win she never win, but I'm feeling like I'm gonna win
00:00:26How'd you get so bad at this?
00:00:33Practice you won't believe this, but when I was a kid I had a magnetic back cam and said I used to play in the car
00:00:39I would lose to my father while he was driving
00:00:43He couldn't even see the board and I would still lose. I definitely believe that. Why wouldn't I believe that?
00:00:52His birthday today your dad
00:00:56Yeah, just realizing that
00:00:58Well, happy birthday Papa Winter
00:01:01Run it back
00:01:03He'd be
00:01:05157
00:01:06Thanks, I'm just doing the math
00:01:08Great
00:01:09How long ago did you lose him 54 years this March?
00:01:15Oh shit
00:01:17I'm sorry A.B.
00:01:20How old were you 11 he and my mom died in a car crash when I was 11
00:01:24It wasn't the backgammon
00:01:26Don't worry
00:01:28They were good parents
00:01:30Good parents
00:01:32You're always giving me shit. Why don't you have a family?
00:01:35You're always giving me shit. Why don't you have a family?
00:01:49That's why
00:01:55I had
00:01:57a family
00:01:59Why were you always letting me run my mouth like that, A.B.?
00:02:03So you'd feel terrible
00:02:05Well, I do. I do
00:02:07I should probably hold on this one actually. I gotta go make this night happen. Try not to kill someone or get killed
00:02:17Hey
00:02:19You do have a family
00:02:21You know that, right?
00:02:23You know that, right?
00:02:25All of this here
00:02:27All
00:02:29of this here
00:02:43Mr. Winter
00:02:45George
00:02:47George
00:02:49George
00:02:55No allergies
00:02:57She said no allergies
00:02:59Excellent
00:03:01Who are you?
00:03:03I want A.B. Winter up here now
00:03:05Because my fucking toilet's clogged
00:03:07You are old man robot from planet Usher
00:03:11So maybe that is it
00:03:13I'm sending up an engineer to fix the toilet
00:03:15Thank you
00:03:16And I'm gonna talk to your brother in the morning
00:03:22I am trying to do something great
00:03:24But you have never understood that
00:03:26And if you get in my way again
00:03:28I am going to kill you
00:03:31Helen
00:03:33No
00:03:34Do not fuck with me
00:03:35I have half of fucking Australia
00:03:37Coming to this party
00:03:38I need Harry Styles here tonight
00:03:40We're screwed
00:03:41Nobody wants to play in this shitty house
00:03:52Yes?
00:03:53We have a problem on the floor
00:03:56That ain't a motive
00:03:57Lorenzo, please let me handle this
00:03:58Just let them go
00:03:59It is against White House protocol
00:04:00Who fucking cares?
00:04:01I can't
00:04:02Is he sure that we don't have a physical guest?
00:04:03Please pardon my interruption
00:04:04We have no cancellation on the floor
00:04:06Yes, okay
00:04:07I'll arrange it
00:04:08Blink in bedroom
00:04:14Bullshit
00:04:15I follow every single problem
00:04:16I ask you about no allergies
00:04:18Get these flowers out of here
00:04:20Why the fuck do I have to clean up Tripp's mess?
00:04:22Would you give us a mom a play?
00:04:23Why am I here?
00:04:24You could have taken care of this
00:04:25I was pulled out of my son's birthday
00:04:27Hey, this is what I talked about
00:04:29You and ten other guys here
00:04:30Could have done the fucking job
00:04:31You're here
00:04:36Actually, I'll switch these two
00:04:37Excuse me, thank you
00:04:38A.B.
00:04:39There's a crash outside the south gate
00:04:41The sound was right over there
00:04:42We have some agents on it right now
00:04:43Check it out
00:04:44What is she doing?
00:04:45You're off the floor
00:04:48You know what?
00:04:49Fuck you, A.B.
00:04:55There's a problem with the kangaroos
00:04:56You are not going to take away my kangaroos
00:05:00I haven't taken anything away from you
00:05:01Not you
00:05:02Him
00:05:03Him
00:05:06You're not going to talk to me like that
00:05:07No
00:05:08I'm going to explain
00:05:10I am going to tell them everything
00:05:12Everything
00:05:13Everything
00:05:19Oh, the man I wanted to see
00:05:20I spoke to Marvell
00:05:21I spoke to Marvell
00:05:22And I think
00:05:23I'm not leaving
00:05:24I can't leave the house like this
00:05:26Not after tonight
00:05:27Not after tonight
00:05:32L.C.
00:05:33A.B. needs you to prep the Lincoln bedroom for Kylie Minogue
00:05:36Oh, thank you
00:05:39Mr. Foreign Minister
00:05:40Everything okay?
00:05:43Hello?
00:05:44Give me five minutes
00:05:46I am going to be dead
00:05:47By the end of the night
00:05:52Need to get off the floor, now
00:05:53Don't worry about it
00:05:54Get it later
00:05:55Let's go
00:05:57Hello?
00:06:04Meet me in the yellow over room
00:06:05Yes
00:06:06You are only...
00:06:07I am going
00:06:08To Kylie
00:06:09This is why
00:06:10Not you
00:06:11Him
00:06:12Fuck you A.B.
00:06:21You think it happened here in this room?
00:06:23I am now convinced of it
00:06:24I am convinced of it
00:06:43Detective Cup? Are you ready?
00:06:45Are you ready?
00:06:46I have to catch a flight
00:06:47Yes, I understand
00:06:48We're ready if you're ready
00:06:49It's a giant ampita
00:06:51What's a giant ampita?
00:06:52The bird I'm going to see
00:06:53My flight
00:06:54Oh, okay, great
00:06:55That sounds like a...
00:06:56Such a...
00:06:57Very large ampita
00:06:58Huge, compared to the other tracheophone
00:07:00Sabathine birds
00:07:02It's... it's big
00:07:03I appreciate you appearing before this committee today, Detective Cup
00:07:07As you know, we've been looking into the death of White House Chief Usher A.B. Winter
00:07:13I've heard
00:07:14When we began these hearings, the investigation was closed, and officially, Mr. Winter's death was ruled a suicide
00:07:21In fact, we learned over the course of some difficult hearings, for which I accept full responsibility, that the story of Mr. Winter's death was much more complicated
00:07:35Unfortunately, we also learned that a little late, as you had already left
00:07:40To find a giant ampita
00:07:42The largest of the tracheophones, the bossing birds, as I understand it
00:07:47Yes
00:07:48But now you're back, and you agreed to come here today, on your way to the airport, to report that a suspect has been detained in your investigation
00:07:58That's correct, Senator
00:07:59And the name of this suspect?
00:08:00We are in a closed session here, Detective Cup, given the sensitivity of the proceedings
00:08:12Yes
00:08:13Okay
00:08:14But
00:08:15Don't you want to hear how I figured it all out?
00:08:30Yes
00:08:47Yes
00:08:49Yes
00:08:58Yes
00:09:36There's something missing from the yellow oval room.
00:09:38Yes.
00:09:39A vase, one of a set.
00:09:40French porcelain from 1823.
00:09:42You haven't seen it since October 11th, the night Mr. Winter was found dead, is that right?
00:09:46That's right.
00:09:47And you won't. It's broken. I'm sorry.
00:09:50Detective Cup, that's not the only thing missing from the room.
00:09:54Oh, I know. I'm looking for a clock.
00:09:57Okay. Sure.
00:10:00Oh, how about this one?
00:10:03No. A specific clock.
00:10:06Oh. Oh, I see.
00:10:08Every room in this house has a clock on the mantel, but there isn't one in the yellow oval room.
00:10:11Oh, that clock. The Franklin clock. No, it's gone.
00:10:15Do you know where it is?
00:10:16No. We looked everywhere for it.
00:10:17Do you have a picture of it?
00:10:19That's a big clock.
00:10:23Yes?
00:10:24Can I take this?
00:10:25No.
00:10:30The yellow roses?
00:10:31In a large vase by the door.
00:10:32Yes, I remember those. Of course.
00:10:34They were distressed.
00:10:36I wouldn't say distressed.
00:10:38What would you say?
00:10:39I would say burned.
00:10:40Burned?
00:10:41Those were beautiful, fresh flowers and they were fully desiccated two days later.
00:10:46Burned.
00:10:47What would do that?
00:10:48Something violent?
00:10:49Contact herbicide?
00:10:51Paraquad, maybe.
00:10:52Paraquad?
00:10:53That'd be my guess.
00:10:54Is that something you keep here?
00:10:55Do I keep industrial weed killer in my small flower shop where I make pretty bouquets?
00:10:59Is that the question?
00:11:00Unfortunately, yes.
00:11:02No.
00:11:03I do not.
00:11:06But I do know where you can find it.
00:11:09Paraquad?
00:11:10No.
00:11:11Not something we're allowed to use here anymore.
00:11:12Basically, any chemicals.
00:11:16We were told a year ago we had to completely detoxify all of our gardening.
00:11:19We're just conscious landscaping now.
00:11:21What does that mean?
00:11:22I have no idea.
00:11:23All I know is we had to get rid of all of our pesticides like Paraquad.
00:11:26But now that I'm saying that, I don't think anybody ever came by to collect any of that stuff.
00:11:31If I had any of it left, it would be over here.
00:11:38Well, I guess it is still here.
00:11:41You know, that's really weird.
00:11:42Yes.
00:11:44You know what I'm going to say?
00:11:45I do.
00:11:49So weird.
00:11:51That night, the night Mr. Winter was killed when we were all out here together, I felt like something had been moved over in this area.
00:11:57You mentioned that.
00:11:58There's something off about that shelf back there.
00:12:00You don't know what it is, but it's bothering you.
00:12:02There's something different.
00:12:04Oh, that!
00:12:05Yes!
00:12:06Can you come to us?
00:12:07Can you come to us?
00:12:08Can you come to us?
00:12:09Can you come to us?
00:12:10Can you come to us?
00:12:15Can you come to us?
00:12:21Can you come with us?
00:12:48Oh, my God.
00:12:49Do you recognize us?
00:12:50Yes, it's from my desk.
00:12:51Why?
00:12:52That's hard to explain.
00:12:53I wondered where it went.
00:12:54Can I have it?
00:12:54No.
00:12:55It's mine.
00:12:55It has paraquat in it.
00:12:57Oh.
00:13:00My sister made that for me.
00:13:01Well, now it's kind of a murder weapon.
00:13:04Okay.
00:13:07You can keep it.
00:13:11I'm going to leave.
00:13:12Thank you, Emily.
00:13:13Where are we?
00:13:20We're in the yellow oval room.
00:13:21No, I mean, what are we doing?
00:13:23We're looking for clues.
00:13:25I guess what I mean is, what is that?
00:13:27It's a little tumbler.
00:13:28Do you see what I'm getting at?
00:13:29No.
00:13:29Generally?
00:13:30No.
00:13:30Last night, you had Bruce and Elsie right there.
00:13:35You were deciding between Bruce and Elsie.
00:13:37Did Bruce kill A.B. Winter or did Elsie?
00:13:39And now we have a little tumbler and no Bruce and no Elsie.
00:13:42And I'm wondering, are we getting any closer?
00:13:44To what?
00:13:45To figuring out who killed A.B. Winter.
00:13:48Oh.
00:13:49Yes.
00:13:51Yes.
00:13:54Someone went out to that shed the night of the state dinner.
00:13:56I think looking for poison.
00:13:58I think they brought a real glass.
00:14:00I think that glass fell or broke.
00:14:01I don't know why.
00:14:02And then they grabbed this.
00:14:04They found the poison, the paraquat, and poured it in here.
00:14:08And then they picked up the phone and they called A.B. Winter in his office.
00:14:11And then they came here.
00:14:12Well, there and then here.
00:14:14I saw two glasses that night, one on the coffee table and one on that end table.
00:14:18I suspect the one on the end table had the poison and was poured on the flowers.
00:14:23Some of that Winter probably ingested.
00:14:26Someone threw a vase.
00:14:28I think it hit this wall.
00:14:31That vase is now gone.
00:14:32The other is right there.
00:14:33And there are indentations here.
00:14:35My guess is that it was intended for Winter.
00:14:38And that's why he had little cuts on his face.
00:14:41And when that didn't work, that person picked up something heavy.
00:14:45Possibly the candlestick.
00:14:46But I don't think that was heavy enough.
00:14:48I think that candlestick fell when Mr. Winter stumbled into this table after drinking the poison.
00:14:55I think the heavy object was the clock.
00:14:58There is no clock.
00:14:59Exactly.
00:15:00And I think this is why.
00:15:02You think the clock is the murder weapon?
00:15:04Yes.
00:15:05You said the tumbler with poison wasn't a murder weapon.
00:15:10I said it was kind of a murder weapon.
00:15:12So we need to find the clock.
00:15:13We do.
00:15:13Do you think you know where it is?
00:15:15No, but I know one place they definitely didn't look.
00:15:17A clock?
00:15:18No.
00:15:19I'd say no.
00:15:20You know?
00:15:21I mean, not like a traditional clock clock.
00:15:24Why are you putting that in quotes?
00:15:25What is a clock clock?
00:15:27I don't want to get in trouble.
00:15:29It's okay.
00:15:30We're the police.
00:15:33All right.
00:15:33Well, I do have a nice piece in here.
00:15:37More of a sculpture of a dude with clock-like elements.
00:15:44Why do you have that?
00:15:50I took it from the library a while back.
00:15:53And then I heard Mr. Winter was looking for it.
00:15:55And he was already pretty upset with me about a few things.
00:15:57And so when I heard he was leaving, I thought, all right, I'll wait until then.
00:16:01And then I'll, like, put it back.
00:16:03And then that didn't happen.
00:16:05So here we are.
00:16:06I still can't tell if it's cool or not.
00:16:08You can't?
00:16:10What do you mean he was leaving?
00:16:11What?
00:16:11You said Mr. Winter was leaving, and then he didn't.
00:16:14Leaving the house.
00:16:15Retiring?
00:16:15I guess.
00:16:16When was that?
00:16:16Oh, sometime since I've been here.
00:16:18What's that been?
00:16:19A couple months?
00:16:19You've been here a year.
00:16:21Fuck.
00:16:22Really?
00:16:22Where did you hear that?
00:16:23I don't know.
00:16:24Out on the floor?
00:16:24Out on the floor?
00:16:25Do you have, like, a floor meeting or something?
00:16:27I don't know, man.
00:16:28Maybe the old lady.
00:16:30Or that asshole that works for my brother.
00:16:32That could be a lot of people.
00:16:33No, no.
00:16:33I'm talking about the asshole.
00:16:36The world's biggest asshole.
00:16:39What?
00:16:41I don't know what the fuck he's talking about.
00:16:43That dude is crazy.
00:16:45You know that, right?
00:16:47You never heard A.B. Winter was leaving?
00:16:48No, but I'm not really dialed into resident staffing
00:16:53because I'm trying to help President Morgan
00:16:55run the fucking country.
00:16:58Are you close?
00:16:59Because you asking me about Winter's retirement plans
00:17:02doesn't feel like we're close.
00:17:09Wait.
00:17:10Hold on.
00:17:12Actually, the night he died,
00:17:13when she came up here,
00:17:14and I asked her to shut everything down,
00:17:16and she said no.
00:17:17Who are you talking about?
00:17:19Jasmine.
00:17:19Jasmine Haney.
00:17:20She went on some rant about working here 11 years.
00:17:23And yes, I want to be the chief usher,
00:17:24and I thought I was going to be the chief usher,
00:17:26but it was made very clear to me tonight
00:17:28that I am not going to be the chief usher anytime soon.
00:17:31Basically told me to go fuck myself
00:17:33until I showed her Winter was dead.
00:17:34I don't know if that's related to him leaving.
00:17:36On the night Mr. Winter died,
00:17:38he dropped a bomb on Jasmine.
00:17:41Jasmine Haney was going to be the next chief usher
00:17:43of the White House.
00:17:44Everybody knew that.
00:17:45She knew that.
00:17:45Mr. Winter told her a year ago.
00:17:47He was going to retire.
00:17:48She was going to take his place.
00:17:49But over the last year,
00:17:51we all started to feel it slipping.
00:17:54He never said an exact day,
00:17:56but whatever it was,
00:17:57seemed to keep getting pushed back.
00:17:59First, it was the holidays.
00:18:00Then the terror attacks on March 4th.
00:18:02Couldn't leave after that.
00:18:04And Easter.
00:18:04In the 4th of July.
00:18:06Holidays are coming up again.
00:18:07I can feel Jasmine getting frustrated.
00:18:09I totally hang on.
00:18:10He just needed time to let go.
00:18:11Thought it would happen soon enough.
00:18:13And I believe that.
00:18:14I think she believed that.
00:18:16Until that night.
00:18:18I'm not leaving.
00:18:19I'm not retiring.
00:18:21For at least a couple of years.
00:18:23A bomb.
00:18:25And she was pissed.
00:18:28What?
00:18:29I know, I know.
00:18:30Years?
00:18:31I have been waiting years.
00:18:33I'm not waiting years.
00:18:34Listen, you just need to talk to me.
00:18:36I am done talking.
00:18:37Okay, talking hasn't gotten me shit.
00:18:39Walking around by his side.
00:18:40Yes, sir.
00:18:41No, sir.
00:18:41Let me take care of that for you, sir.
00:18:43Cleaning up his fucking messes.
00:18:48She tried talking to him again,
00:18:50but it didn't amount to anything.
00:18:51It wasn't much of a talk.
00:18:53Then she never got another chance.
00:18:57Jasmine Haney?
00:18:58Yes.
00:18:58Did that surprise you?
00:19:00I'm not easily surprised.
00:19:01But I will admit, it did make things more interesting.
00:19:07I'd previously identified a number of people who I believe might have played a role in Mr. Winter's death.
00:19:11And now I had one more.
00:19:15This is it.
00:19:17She is it.
00:19:18She's the one with the cleanest, clearest, most powerful motive.
00:19:21We just heard it.
00:19:22And she had the access, and it makes complete sense.
00:19:25She's the one who told us everything, showed us everything, shaped everything.
00:19:28We're talking about all these other people, but sometimes it's a thing right in front of you.
00:19:33It's a thing hiding in plain sight.
00:19:34The obvious thing.
00:19:36The thing you're staring at.
00:19:37You just didn't see it.
00:19:38Yes, I agree.
00:19:40But how exactly?
00:19:41And when?
00:19:42And did she act alone?
00:19:44Obviously, everything makes much more sense if there were other people involved.
00:19:48I know this is weird, but did you see murder on the Orient Express?
00:19:52The new one?
00:19:53Or the old one?
00:19:54I haven't seen either one.
00:19:55Well, then why do you care which one?
00:19:56I read the book.
00:19:57Well, I haven't read the book.
00:19:58That's not the point.
00:19:59The point is, what happens?
00:20:00The book is good.
00:20:01Okay, I'm sure it is.
00:20:02Someday I'll read the book.
00:20:06Right.
00:20:06Okay, that's weird.
00:20:09Anyway, if you remember, it turns out they all did it.
00:20:11All the suspects.
00:20:13And it makes me wonder.
00:20:15Wait.
00:20:16You're agreeing with me?
00:20:18What?
00:20:19When I said it was a thing hiding in plain sight.
00:20:21Yes.
00:20:22You've agreed with me before, but then I realized you were making fun of me.
00:20:25Yes.
00:20:26Yes, so you were making fun of me before, but you're not making fun of me this time?
00:20:31No.
00:20:31Well, I'm just going to go back to where I started.
00:20:41Sometimes, it's a thing right in front of you.
00:20:44The thing hiding in plain sight.
00:20:45The obvious thing.
00:20:46The thing you've been staring at.
00:20:48You just didn't see it.
00:20:49Yes.
00:20:56I agree.
00:20:58Is that?
00:20:59Yes.
00:21:01A.B. Winner's journal?
00:21:02Right there on the shelf.
00:21:04In a room nobody else cared about, because where's the one place nobody ever looks?
00:21:09I use one of those cans that looks like a Coke can, but you can screw off the bottom.
00:21:16Anyway, that's not what you meant.
00:21:18The room with the books.
00:21:19Nobody cares about the room with the books.
00:21:21I should have realized this earlier.
00:21:23It was all there.
00:21:24His notebooks, his journals, they were like old-fashioned books.
00:21:28He wrote everything down in them.
00:21:29The library.
00:21:30Mr. Winters' favorite room.
00:21:32He stopped by first thing every morning, and it was always the last place he went before
00:21:36he left for the night.
00:21:37I just didn't see it, which is precisely why he did it.
00:21:40Did you read them?
00:21:41I tried.
00:21:43And?
00:21:44And they were funny.
00:21:47Erudite.
00:21:48Self-critical.
00:21:48Unexpectedly generous.
00:21:50Poignant.
00:21:50He was candid with some of his feelings, many of them positive, some negative.
00:21:54He had a particular disdain for Lily Schumacher, which didn't surprise me at all,
00:21:58but the intensity of it did.
00:22:00His relationship with Mr. Gotthard had clearly soured.
00:22:03He did not like Tripp.
00:22:03He thought it was a really bad idea to have Marvella around all those knives and Sheila
00:22:07around all that vodka.
00:22:08He kept a curious ledger with acronyms and numbers that made no sense to me at the time,
00:22:12but which has since proven highly revealing.
00:22:15So they were helpful?
00:22:16Very.
00:22:17And that's even before I got to the last page.
00:22:19What was on the last page?
00:22:21Nothing.
00:22:21Nothing.
00:22:28The suicide note.
00:22:50Yes, but it wasn't a suicide note.
00:22:52Well, except I didn't know that.
00:22:54I'm sorry, it might have been a suicide note?
00:22:57I believed from the beginning that Mr. Winter did not die by suicide, but this note, it did
00:23:02read like one.
00:23:03But now, in the context of the larger page, it clearly was not one, not originally.
00:23:08I couldn't explain it, not yet.
00:23:10Did he rip it out himself?
00:23:11Or did someone else do it?
00:23:12Accidentally.
00:23:13Or intentionally.
00:23:14Did someone know these books were here the whole time?
00:23:16Who?
00:23:17Angie.
00:23:17Jasmine.
00:23:18Why did he have it on him, though?
00:23:19How did he have it on him?
00:23:20What do you mean?
00:23:21If he was killed in the yellow over room with the clock, why does he have a suicide note
00:23:24on him in the game room?
00:23:26Was it just coincidence?
00:23:28And what did you decide?
00:23:30I didn't decide anything.
00:23:32Because that's when all hell broke loose.
00:23:35Upstairs.
00:23:36Now.
00:23:38Hey, it's me.
00:23:39I'm just doing my thing.
00:23:45I'm not happy, Detective Cup.
00:23:47Well, that's not good, because you're, like, the most important person in the world.
00:23:52Why are you not happy?
00:23:53What are you doing here?
00:23:55Who let you back into this house?
00:24:04Do you want to take that?
00:24:08Well, okay.
00:24:10Yes.
00:24:11Before everybody starts pointing fingers.
00:24:13Barry.
00:24:13It's not like one person decided.
00:24:15It was a decision among various parties.
00:24:19You called me.
00:24:20Harry.
00:24:21Yes.
00:24:21Yes.
00:24:22Okay?
00:24:22I asked Detective Cup to come back.
00:24:25Mr. President, I do think it's important that this gets resolved.
00:24:29The damage that came out of those Senate hearings.
00:24:31You didn't even tell me.
00:24:32You don't live here.
00:24:33It's the White House.
00:24:35I'm the president.
00:24:36Did he tell you?
00:24:37No.
00:24:38He didn't tell me either.
00:24:39And we have jurisdiction.
00:24:41What the fuck?
00:24:42You don't have jurisdiction.
00:24:43The fucking campground attendant is here?
00:24:45The jurisdiction of the National Park Police is the Grand fucking Tetons.
00:24:49It's a common misperception.
00:24:51The MPD has jurisdiction.
00:24:54That's why I'm here.
00:24:55Do you see the uniform?
00:24:56Yeah, we can't miss it, Chief.
00:24:57Always with the fucking uniform.
00:24:59Do you sleep in that thing?
00:25:00Okay, it gets respect.
00:25:01Or do you just fucking...
00:25:01No matter when.
00:25:02Okay, listen.
00:25:03Listen.
00:25:03All right?
00:25:04Insertnn, learn.
00:25:04I'm sure it's not that right.
00:25:05These are stupid.
00:25:06I'm gonna win it down.
00:25:07Why?
00:25:08No, they use me.
00:25:09Yeah, I bet you do.
00:25:10Yeah, yeah.
00:25:10Nothing-
00:25:11Easter?
00:25:11Good to eat.
00:25:11It's a good question.
00:25:13I know.
00:25:14Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:25:15I got here.
00:25:15I got here.
00:25:16Sen't me talking.
00:25:18I feel this in pain.
00:25:24Yeah.
00:25:24This painting was in the red room on the night of the murder.
00:25:40Okay.
00:25:40And the paintings that were in here are now in the green room.
00:25:44And the painting that was in the green room, where one of those paintings now is, is now in the red room.
00:25:49So many colors.
00:25:51Is this important?
00:25:52Yes.
00:25:52Why is this important?
00:25:53Because now I know precisely how A.B. Winter was killed.
00:25:59You had solved the case.
00:26:01No, I had solved part of the case.
00:26:04Very important part.
00:26:05I knew how it was done, but I didn't know who did it.
00:26:08But now I knew how to figure that part out, too.
00:26:10I told the president I needed two hours.
00:26:12If he gave me two hours and could collect the people on the list I gave him and meet me with them in the East Room, I would tell him who killed A.B. Winter.
00:26:21And?
00:26:21And he agreed.
00:26:22What did you need the two hours for?
00:26:24Birding, mostly.
00:26:25And to tie up a few loose ends.
00:26:30Detective Cupp wants to see you in the foyer.
00:26:31And, um, it's probably a shoes-on situation.
00:26:34Yeah.
00:26:36Excellent choice.
00:26:39And I needed to secure from you immunity for someone to appear at the White House.
00:26:43In exchange for which you agreed to come here.
00:26:45That's correct, Senator.
00:26:53Is she here?
00:26:55Where is she?
00:26:57She's on site.
00:26:57Come on!
00:27:01Woo!
00:27:02Got the fish crow and the downy woodpecker and the saw-wet owl.
00:27:08And I know Chief Doakes is excited about that one.
00:27:11Always good when you get an owl.
00:27:13Okay.
00:27:15Thank you all for coming.
00:27:17I appreciate everyone taking time out of their busy day to join me here.
00:27:21Particular shout-out to the most powerful man in the world.
00:27:24Thank you, Mr. President.
00:27:26You've got to be fucking kidding me.
00:27:29Good-bye, mates.
00:27:30Mr. Doombay, appreciate you being here.
00:27:33I'm Cordelia Cupp.
00:27:34I'll be your host today.
00:27:36A couple things before we get started.
00:27:38First, just want to make sure everyone's here for the murder of A.B. Winter.
00:27:44If you're here for another murder, that's, like, a huge problem.
00:27:48So please do let me know.
00:27:51Please do not touch any objects or artwork as they might be valuable
00:27:55and or contain the fingerprints of the murderer standing next to you.
00:27:59I will be taking questions.
00:28:00We're going to start up in the game room on the third floor
00:28:03and then work our way down.
00:28:05I'll explain.
00:28:06So hopefully everyone's wearing comfortable shoes.
00:28:12Or just any foot-like covering at all would be great.
00:28:18Okay.
00:28:19Hey, the last thing, and this is important.
00:28:24Lots of detectives, even real ones, do this kind of summation
00:28:28when they already know who did it,
00:28:30which I've always thought was a little weird.
00:28:33But I'm here to tell you right now,
00:28:35I do not know who killed A.B. Winter.
00:28:39I know he was killed.
00:28:42I know he was killed by someone in this room.
00:28:44I hope the president told you this when he invited you here.
00:28:47But I don't know who.
00:28:49I am positive, though, that by the time I'm done, I will know.
00:28:53So if you killed A.B.,
00:28:56I'm sorry, you can't leave now.
00:28:58I'll know.
00:28:59And if you did not kill A.B.,
00:29:02I'm sorry, you can't leave now
00:29:03because I'll think he did
00:29:05and probably have evidence to prove it or something
00:29:07because you definitely did something awful.
00:29:10So buckle up.
00:29:14No exit.
00:29:17I'll see you in the game room.
00:29:18Is that really true?
00:29:27What?
00:29:28That you didn't know.
00:29:29Absolutely true.
00:29:30And you thought you'd just figure it out along the way.
00:29:32I knew I would.
00:29:34There's a bird.
00:29:35A mockingbird.
00:29:35It does this thing.
00:29:39It knows there's an insect nearby,
00:29:41but it doesn't know exactly where,
00:29:43so it suddenly flashes its wings open,
00:29:46gets the insect to blink.
00:29:49Watch for it.
00:29:53To blink.
00:29:54Let's back it up
00:30:00to the night of the party.
00:30:03This case began when your mom next door
00:30:05heard a thump,
00:30:07came over here,
00:30:08found Mr. Winter dead.
00:30:10When I arrived on the scene 30 minutes later,
00:30:13you all believed he had killed himself,
00:30:16especially you.
00:30:18We believe it's a suicide.
00:30:19I told you almost immediately
00:30:21that you were wrong and I was right
00:30:22and that has been our relationship ever since.
00:30:25Oh, this is going to be a long tour.
00:30:28You can leave.
00:30:37Soon after I arrived,
00:30:38I told you all specifically
00:30:40why I knew it wasn't a suicide.
00:30:42There's no knife.
00:30:44But it wasn't just the knife.
00:30:47The blood on the shirt
00:30:48that Mr. Winter was wearing
00:30:50that was not his.
00:30:51That was Australian Foreign Minister
00:30:53Rylance's blood
00:30:55and his shirt,
00:30:56which Mr. Winter
00:30:57had graciously exchanged
00:30:59with Mr. Rylance
00:31:00in his office an hour before.
00:31:03The reason for the exchange...
00:31:05Oh.
00:31:06Oh.
00:31:06Oh.
00:31:08While fascinating,
00:31:09is irrelevant.
00:31:11Can I leave?
00:31:12Sure.
00:31:13Other curiosities took longer,
00:31:23but the first
00:31:23and most relevant business
00:31:25was the missing knife.
00:31:26And that led me to discover
00:31:28that there had, in fact,
00:31:29been a knife here,
00:31:30a good knife,
00:31:31and that it belonged to you,
00:31:33Mr. Gotthard,
00:31:34and that you removed the knife
00:31:35from this crime scene
00:31:36and tried to destroy it.
00:31:39You have admitted this.
00:31:41After all this is over,
00:31:44I want to talk about
00:31:45getting my own office.
00:31:46A single leaf
00:31:47from the Cedar of Lebanon tree
00:31:48and a lot of lying
00:31:50finally led me to Ms. Cannon,
00:31:53who was in this room
00:31:54around the time
00:31:55Winter was killed,
00:31:56drinking vodka
00:31:57that she was supposed
00:31:58to be delivering
00:31:59to Ms. Cox.
00:32:00Oh.
00:32:01You were bringing
00:32:01Mother vodka?
00:32:05I cannot smoke in here.
00:32:07Uh.
00:32:07No.
00:32:10Was Ms. Cannon involved
00:32:12in Mr. Winter's death?
00:32:13I do not know.
00:32:14Not yet.
00:32:15But she was here.
00:32:17Mr. Gotthard
00:32:18and Ms. Cannon
00:32:19were both in this room.
00:32:21And then,
00:32:22I learned another
00:32:23important fact,
00:32:24this time
00:32:25from one of the few people
00:32:26who did not lie
00:32:28to me that night,
00:32:29medical examiner
00:32:30Anne Dodge.
00:32:31Ms. Dodge confirmed
00:32:33what I already suspected.
00:32:34Mr. Winter likely died
00:32:36of blunt force trauma
00:32:37to the back of the head
00:32:38and he did in fact
00:32:39ingest poison
00:32:40and he was dead
00:32:41before his wrists
00:32:43were slashed.
00:32:49Meaning he did not
00:32:50slash his own wrists.
00:32:54Because he was dead.
00:32:56Oh.
00:32:57Oh, okay.
00:32:58Got it.
00:32:59Thanks.
00:33:00He's a strange little man.
00:33:02I had already come
00:33:03to believe that Mr. Winter
00:33:04was dragged into this room.
00:33:06Of course,
00:33:07the misreport
00:33:07from Anne Dodge
00:33:08sealed it.
00:33:10Mr. Winter
00:33:10did not kill himself
00:33:12in the game room.
00:33:12He was not killed
00:33:14in the game room.
00:33:15He was dragged
00:33:16in here.
00:33:18From where?
00:33:19From here.
00:33:21Room 301.
00:33:23On the night
00:33:24of the state dinner,
00:33:25room 301
00:33:26was undergoing renovation,
00:33:27a fake renovation,
00:33:29ordered by
00:33:29President Morgan
00:33:30and Elliot
00:33:31so that Harry
00:33:32Hollinger's sister
00:33:33couldn't stay
00:33:34in the White House.
00:33:35My first clue
00:33:36that this room
00:33:36was involved
00:33:37in the night's events
00:33:38was that the door
00:33:39had been taped,
00:33:40which struck me
00:33:41as unusual.
00:33:42Even more unusual
00:33:43was that there was
00:33:44the smell of paint
00:33:44because remember,
00:33:45this was a fake renovation
00:33:47staged only to keep
00:33:48Harry's apparently
00:33:49unbearable sister
00:33:51out of the house.
00:33:52Can you stop,
00:33:53please?
00:33:54She's really
00:33:55a nice person.
00:33:57Beneath the paint,
00:33:58I found blood,
00:33:59fresh blood,
00:34:00and then another
00:34:01extraordinary turn.
00:34:03A precocious young
00:34:04detective staying
00:34:04across the street
00:34:05at the Hay Adams Hotel
00:34:06saw a flashing red light
00:34:08in this room
00:34:10soon after Mr. Winter
00:34:11had died,
00:34:13a light I was able
00:34:14to trace to the wrist
00:34:15of Trip Morgan.
00:34:19This fucking watch,
00:34:20I've been having
00:34:20so many problems
00:34:21with it lately.
00:34:22I was convinced
00:34:28of Mr. Morgan's
00:34:29involvement,
00:34:30but had to wait
00:34:30for him to reveal
00:34:31it to me,
00:34:32which he has now done
00:34:33with remarkable details,
00:34:35so thank you.
00:34:37Thank me for what?
00:34:38For explaining
00:34:38what happened.
00:34:39I never told you
00:34:40anything.
00:34:41Did he tell you
00:34:42something?
00:34:42Yes.
00:34:43Oh, shit.
00:34:45Detective Cup
00:34:45wants to see you
00:34:46in the foyer.
00:34:46I knew Trip
00:34:47was in this room
00:34:48because of the
00:34:48precocious young
00:34:49detective,
00:34:49but I didn't know
00:34:50much beyond that,
00:34:51and I was sure
00:34:52he wouldn't talk
00:34:53to me any more
00:34:54than he already had.
00:34:55By the piano?
00:34:56Yeah.
00:34:57But he is a talker,
00:34:59and sometimes
00:35:00you just have
00:35:00to put together
00:35:01the right combination.
00:35:04George McCutcheon.
00:35:06The George McCutcheon.
00:35:08Nah, I'm just kidding.
00:35:09I know there's
00:35:09three of you.
00:35:11What up, George?
00:35:12Only one Trip,
00:35:13thank God for that,
00:35:14right?
00:35:15Woo!
00:35:20Yo, you seen
00:35:21that detective?
00:35:22Looks like Indiana Jones
00:35:24and shit.
00:35:25Best detective
00:35:26in the world.
00:35:27I don't know,
00:35:28I guess I'm supposed
00:35:28to meet her here.
00:35:30She's been badgering me,
00:35:31George,
00:35:31and I'm telling you,
00:35:32I have nothing to do
00:35:33with this whole thing.
00:35:34With A, B, dude,
00:35:35fucking nothing.
00:35:36Dude comes to my room
00:35:37acting all crazy and shit,
00:35:38but that's fucking it.
00:35:39You know what I mean?
00:35:42You're looking at me funny.
00:35:46Can I tell you something, G?
00:35:47Okay?
00:35:48That night,
00:35:49that night of the dinner,
00:35:50I'm like fucked up.
00:35:52You used to party, right?
00:35:55Yeah, yeah, yeah,
00:35:56you know.
00:35:57So I'm having a fucking party,
00:35:59right?
00:35:59Because my absolute shitbird brother
00:36:01won't let me come to this one
00:36:02with the Australians
00:36:03who know how to actually
00:36:04fucking party.
00:36:05So I go to the room
00:36:06at the end of the hall,
00:36:07right?
00:36:07So that all these assholes
00:36:08will leave me alone.
00:36:09And dude,
00:36:10I fucking crash out,
00:36:12right?
00:36:13Fucking crash out.
00:36:15And then I wake up.
00:36:18You know,
00:36:18we're good, right?
00:36:19McCutcheon,
00:36:20this is just like fucking
00:36:21you and me talking,
00:36:21right, dude?
00:36:24Okay.
00:36:25So dude,
00:36:26I fucking wake up
00:36:28and A.B. Winter
00:36:29is on the ground
00:36:32next to me.
00:36:33Fucking dead.
00:36:34Dead.
00:36:35I'm like,
00:36:35oh, fuck!
00:36:37I lose my shit
00:36:38because I'm like,
00:36:38I was just fighting
00:36:39with this guy
00:36:39in my fucking room
00:36:40and there's this
00:36:41fake electrician in there
00:36:42who knows we've been fighting,
00:36:44right?
00:36:44So I go out into the hall
00:36:45and I look down the hall
00:36:46and I see that crazy,
00:36:47drunk butler lady,
00:36:48right?
00:36:48And she's fucked up too,
00:36:49but I don't think she sees me.
00:36:50So I go back in
00:36:51and I get A.B.
00:36:54Dude,
00:36:54I'm not proud of this.
00:36:55Right, George?
00:36:56Not proud,
00:36:57but like I just fucking
00:36:58lift him up
00:36:59and just start dragging the guy
00:37:01all the way down
00:37:02the fucking hall.
00:37:03I don't even know
00:37:03where the fuck I'm going.
00:37:04I take him to the game room
00:37:05and I'm like,
00:37:06all right,
00:37:06I just leave him there,
00:37:07right?
00:37:07And then I run back down
00:37:08to the other room
00:37:10and I see this fucking blood.
00:37:12So I take some paint.
00:37:13Yes, dude,
00:37:14seriously,
00:37:15and I fucking paint
00:37:16this thing over.
00:37:17Real fucking expert,
00:37:18you know?
00:37:18You get that adrenaline,
00:37:19you can just like do shit.
00:37:20Dude, turns out
00:37:21I can fucking paint!
00:37:23So I'm like done now,
00:37:25okay?
00:37:25This shit is over.
00:37:26And dude,
00:37:27I look down on the ground
00:37:29and I see this fucking set of keys
00:37:30and I'm like,
00:37:31what the fuck, man?
00:37:32So I go back down the hall
00:37:34fucking running fast, right?
00:37:35But like real light-footed
00:37:36like a panther
00:37:37because I don't want to wake up
00:37:38fucking Elliot's mommy.
00:37:39I take the keys,
00:37:40I put them back in A.B.'s pocket
00:37:42and I feel this piece of paper
00:37:43in his jacket.
00:37:44I pull it out.
00:37:45Dude,
00:37:46it's a fucking suicide note.
00:37:48A.B. fucking killed himself.
00:37:50Fuck!
00:37:51I'm like,
00:37:51well, I just fucked that up, right?
00:37:52Because had I just left him there,
00:37:53it would have been fine.
00:37:54But what am I going to do now?
00:37:55Drag him fucking back?
00:37:57What if somebody sees me
00:37:58and I'm gassed anyway?
00:38:00And this is where I might have
00:38:01fucked up a little bit, right?
00:38:02Because I'm just fucking
00:38:03going crazy right now.
00:38:04Heart like a hamster,
00:38:05500 beats a minute.
00:38:06So I'm like,
00:38:06all right,
00:38:07this has to look like
00:38:08a suicide right here.
00:38:09So I open the door next door,
00:38:11I go into the German pastry dude's office
00:38:13because I know
00:38:13that creepy fucker
00:38:14keeps his knives in there.
00:38:16Real quick,
00:38:16I borrow that guy's knives
00:38:17all the time.
00:38:18I just like take him
00:38:18for random shit.
00:38:19One time I had to trim the belt
00:38:20off one of these robes,
00:38:21just grabbed his knife
00:38:22and just fucking saw him away,
00:38:24you know what I mean?
00:38:24So anyway,
00:38:25I grabbed the knife,
00:38:26I go back into the room
00:38:27and I just fucking did
00:38:30the fucking dirty DG.
00:38:31Cut the wrists,
00:38:33dropped the knife,
00:38:34put the note back in
00:38:35and took off.
00:38:35And that's like all I did.
00:38:42Like I said, dude,
00:38:44I have absolutely nothing
00:38:46to do with any of this.
00:38:56Yeah, I don't think
00:38:57she's going to show up.
00:38:58Good talking to you, G.
00:38:59Late.
00:39:05You used my knives
00:39:26to my mommy's shit burn?
00:39:28Well, I'll show you
00:39:28a crazy drunk.
00:39:30Fake electrician?
00:39:31That is seriously fucked up, Tripp.
00:39:33Well, maybe you should have
00:39:34invited me to dinner, bro.
00:39:36Did Tripp do it?
00:39:38Did Tripp kill A.B. Winter?
00:39:40I will not answer
00:39:41that question, not yet.
00:39:42But I will say,
00:39:44Mr. Winter was not killed in here.
00:39:46In fact, he had been dead
00:39:47for nearly 20 minutes
00:39:49by the time Tripp dragged
00:39:51him down the hall.
00:39:52So once again,
00:39:53we are faced with
00:39:53the same question
00:39:54we entered the room with.
00:39:56From where and by whom?
00:39:58And this time,
00:39:59it is even more incredible
00:40:01and unexpected.
00:40:02From where?
00:40:07From down there.
00:40:17On the night
00:40:22of the state dinner,
00:40:23Kylie Minogue
00:40:24found blood
00:40:25in the Lincoln bedroom.
00:40:26I believe Mr. Winter
00:40:28was brought
00:40:28into the Lincoln bedroom,
00:40:29but only temporarily
00:40:31as a brief resting place
00:40:33for the person
00:40:34who had dragged him
00:40:35from the yellow oval room
00:40:36and who would carry him
00:40:38up those stairs
00:40:39to room 301.
00:40:41Now, why do I say
00:40:42he was dragged
00:40:43from the yellow oval room?
00:40:45Because that's what
00:40:46you said you saw
00:40:46under oath.
00:40:48I looked down the hallway
00:40:49and I saw him dragging
00:40:50a body out of
00:40:51the yellow oval room.
00:40:52So, from there,
00:40:55the yellow oval room,
00:40:56but by whom?
00:40:58Well, you saw that too,
00:40:59didn't you, Mr. Doombay?
00:41:05On the advice of counsel,
00:41:07I...
00:41:07You don't have to do that, buddy.
00:41:08Who did you see
00:41:09dragging Mr. Winter
00:41:11out of the yellow oval room?
00:41:15Him!
00:41:16Ah-ha!
00:41:18Bruce Geller,
00:41:19the grumpy
00:41:20but apparently
00:41:20quite lovable engineer
00:41:22who had been fighting
00:41:23with Mr. Winter
00:41:24and Trip that night
00:41:26and who Lily saw
00:41:27in the yellow oval room
00:41:28some 30 minutes later,
00:41:30but when you saw him,
00:41:31Mr. Doombay,
00:41:31he was dragging
00:41:32A.B. Winter
00:41:33down this hall.
00:41:36Why?
00:41:38Well,
00:41:40that's more complicated.
00:41:43In Bruce's mind,
00:41:44because he was covering up
00:41:45a crime he believed
00:41:46had been committed
00:41:47by the woman he loved,
00:41:49Elsie Chiley.
00:41:51Damn.
00:41:52Bruce and Elsie
00:41:53had been in a relationship
00:41:54and on the night
00:41:55of the state dinner,
00:41:55Bruce found Elsie
00:41:57right here distraught
00:41:58because of a recent fight
00:41:59she'd had with Mr. Winter
00:42:01in the yellow oval room.
00:42:02While Mr. Winter
00:42:03stayed in that room,
00:42:04Bruce tried to comfort her
00:42:06but she wouldn't have it.
00:42:07I am going
00:42:09to kill him.
00:42:10Bruce left Elsie
00:42:11right here.
00:42:15Walked down the hallway
00:42:16to the elevator
00:42:18but then worried
00:42:20about her,
00:42:21he turned back around
00:42:22only to see Elsie
00:42:24now running out
00:42:25of the yellow oval room.
00:42:27When he went
00:42:27into the room himself
00:42:29moments later,
00:42:29he found Mr. Winter
00:42:31dead.
00:42:33And so,
00:42:34as any good man does,
00:42:36he cleaned it up
00:42:37which included
00:42:39moving Mr. Winter
00:42:40out of the room.
00:42:44That's what
00:42:44Mr. Dumbe saw.
00:42:48Now,
00:42:49it's important
00:42:50to say here
00:42:51that Elsie
00:42:51has a very different
00:42:53perspective.
00:42:53She believes
00:42:54that Bruce
00:42:55killed Mr. Winter.
00:42:56she insists
00:42:57that when she
00:42:58came back
00:42:58in the room,
00:42:59Mr. Winter
00:42:59was already dead
00:43:01and she didn't
00:43:02see Bruce
00:43:02when she left.
00:43:03Bruce
00:43:04had his own issues
00:43:05with Mr. Winter
00:43:06and she knew
00:43:07he was mad
00:43:08at the way
00:43:09Mr. Winter
00:43:09had treated her.
00:43:11Either way,
00:43:11whether you believe
00:43:12Bruce or Elsie...
00:43:13Elsie.
00:43:14Elsie.
00:43:14Elsie.
00:43:15Elsie.
00:43:15Elsie.
00:43:16Elsie.
00:43:16Bruce.
00:43:17Either way,
00:43:20Bruce moved
00:43:21Mr. Winter,
00:43:22dragged him
00:43:23to the Lincoln
00:43:23bedroom,
00:43:24left him there
00:43:25while he went
00:43:26upstairs and
00:43:27taped the door
00:43:27to room 301
00:43:28to make it easier
00:43:29to enter
00:43:30when he came back
00:43:31carrying Mr. Winter
00:43:32and then he carried
00:43:33him up
00:43:34and left him there.
00:43:37I know you did
00:43:37because you were
00:43:38the one dragging
00:43:39him down here
00:43:41and you're probably
00:43:42the only person
00:43:42who could carry
00:43:43Mr. Winter
00:43:44up those stairs
00:43:45and those were
00:43:45your keys
00:43:46that Tripp
00:43:47found in
00:43:48that room.
00:43:52And so
00:43:53now we are here
00:43:56where it all
00:43:58began
00:43:59because I do
00:44:01believe it was
00:44:02in this room
00:44:03that Mr. Winter
00:44:04was killed
00:44:05which means
00:44:06we're down
00:44:07to one question
00:44:08who
00:44:09did it?
00:44:16Well it has
00:44:17to be him
00:44:18right?
00:44:18Bruce the engineer
00:44:19I mean
00:44:19I guess it could
00:44:20be her.
00:44:21It's not her.
00:44:21No I don't
00:44:22think so either
00:44:22Marjorie.
00:44:23I mean it is
00:44:27one of them
00:44:28though right
00:44:29Bruce or Elsie?
00:44:30You've made this
00:44:31very dramatic.
00:44:33Yes that's what
00:44:34I thought.
00:44:35It must be
00:44:35Bruce or Elsie
00:44:36but the minute
00:44:37I thought that
00:44:38I allowed myself
00:44:39to consider
00:44:39the opposite
00:44:40which one
00:44:41should always do.
00:44:42What if it's
00:44:43not Bruce or Elsie?
00:44:44Is it possible
00:44:45that they both
00:44:46could be telling
00:44:46the truth?
00:44:47Is it possible
00:44:47that neither
00:44:48of them killed
00:44:49Mr. Winter
00:44:49that in that time
00:44:50Elsie stood
00:44:51by that closet
00:44:52and Bruce
00:44:53stood by the elevator
00:44:54a third person
00:44:55murdered Mr. Winter
00:44:56in the yellow
00:44:57oval room.
00:44:58Is that possible?
00:45:00Yes.
00:45:00No.
00:45:01What do you mean
00:45:02a third person?
00:45:04Who?
00:45:04How would they
00:45:04get in here?
00:45:06Right through
00:45:07that door.
00:45:08Could somebody
00:45:08do that?
00:45:09Someone did
00:45:10do that.
00:45:11him.
00:45:14The third man.
00:45:16He said
00:45:17he was in
00:45:17that room.
00:45:18I heard him
00:45:19in that room.
00:45:20And I saw him
00:45:21come out of that
00:45:21room into the
00:45:22hallway.
00:45:27I have immunity.
00:45:28I knew it.
00:45:30I knew it.
00:45:31Oh that whole
00:45:32aw shucks
00:45:33I'm just a
00:45:34dumb sales guy
00:45:35who likes Australians
00:45:36and I stumbled
00:45:36into the White House.
00:45:39He's that guy
00:45:40from that movie.
00:45:42Ed Norton
00:45:42Primal Fear.
00:45:43So good.
00:45:44It's an act.
00:45:45He's full of shit.
00:45:48He's an assassin.
00:45:49He's an assassin.
00:45:49And I work
00:46:01for you.
00:46:07No I'm just kidding.
00:46:09That was good though.
00:46:10Right everybody?
00:46:14Well he's the next
00:46:15Russell Crowe.
00:46:16I have considered
00:46:20this scenario
00:46:21that it was
00:46:21Mr. Doombe.
00:46:22Mr. Doombe
00:46:23has admitted
00:46:23to being in
00:46:24that room.
00:46:25He could have
00:46:25come in here
00:46:26killed Mr. Winter
00:46:26and returned
00:46:27to the room
00:46:28when he then
00:46:29called his mom.
00:46:30Aunt.
00:46:31This is possible
00:46:32and I don't
00:46:33discount it.
00:46:34But let's assume
00:46:34that it is not
00:46:35Mr. Doombe.
00:46:36Just for a moment
00:46:37could it be
00:46:38anyone else?
00:46:39Someone who threads
00:46:40an even finer needle.
00:46:41A fourth person
00:46:43who comes into
00:46:44that room
00:46:44before Mr. Doombe
00:46:45slips into this room
00:46:47after Elsie leaves
00:46:48and then
00:46:48kills Mr. Winter
00:46:50before she returns.
00:46:51Is that possible?
00:46:53Yes.
00:46:54No.
00:46:55No.
00:46:55Impossible.
00:46:56Right?
00:46:57And yet.
00:46:58And yet.
00:46:59Even as I recognize
00:47:00the seeming impossibility
00:47:01of this scenario
00:47:03I cannot let it go
00:47:04because as I spent
00:47:05time in this room
00:47:06last night
00:47:07I discovered things
00:47:08curious things
00:47:09a large clock
00:47:11missing from the mantle
00:47:12a missing vase
00:47:13flowers burned by poison
00:47:16things that cannot
00:47:17be explained
00:47:18by Bruce
00:47:19or Elsie
00:47:19or Mr. Doombe.
00:47:21Things that suggest
00:47:22the presence
00:47:23of another person.
00:47:25But you have
00:47:26a person
00:47:27right here
00:47:28two people
00:47:29three people
00:47:30and if you really
00:47:31need a fourth
00:47:31throw him in.
00:47:33They're not cool bro.
00:47:34Why are you working
00:47:35so hard
00:47:36on something
00:47:36so incredibly unlikely?
00:47:40It is an excellent
00:47:41question Mr. Hollinger.
00:47:43Really?
00:47:44Yes.
00:47:45And that surprises me
00:47:46as much as it surprises you.
00:47:47It's the question
00:47:48the birder asks
00:47:50about everything
00:47:51she sees.
00:47:52Why?
00:47:53Why would I even
00:47:54consider this?
00:47:55Why would I go
00:47:56to the most outrageous
00:47:57the most extreme
00:47:58the most improbable
00:47:59of all possible
00:48:00resolutions
00:48:01to this mystery
00:48:02and my answer
00:48:02to you is
00:48:04the passenger pigeon?
00:48:11That's your answer?
00:48:12It is not the answer
00:48:13I expected.
00:48:14The passenger pigeon
00:48:15was once
00:48:16the most abundant
00:48:17bird in the world.
00:48:19In the early
00:48:1919th century
00:48:20there were billions
00:48:21of them.
00:48:23Billions.
00:48:23And by the late
00:48:2419th century
00:48:25they were virtually
00:48:26extinct.
00:48:26In fact
00:48:27they were thought
00:48:28to be
00:48:28in the wild.
00:48:29And then
00:48:30in 1907
00:48:32a small flock
00:48:33was spotted
00:48:34in rural Virginia.
00:48:36This was the last
00:48:37known credible sighting
00:48:38of a passenger pigeon
00:48:40in history.
00:48:41And do you know
00:48:42who saw those birds?
00:48:44You.
00:48:451907.
00:48:48Him.
00:48:49Alexander Hamilton
00:48:55are you fucking
00:48:56moron?
00:48:57Teddy Roosevelt.
00:48:59President Teddy
00:49:01Roosevelt was the last
00:49:02person to see
00:49:03a passenger pigeon
00:49:04in the wild
00:49:05and when he did
00:49:06he couldn't believe it.
00:49:07It seemed impossible.
00:49:08It defied logic.
00:49:10The great
00:49:11birder
00:49:11and Teddy Roosevelt
00:49:12was a great
00:49:13birder.
00:49:14Looks for context
00:49:16understands relationships
00:49:17history.
00:49:19What you are seeing
00:49:20needs to make sense
00:49:21and that flock
00:49:22of wild pigeons
00:49:23made no sense.
00:49:24They were extinct.
00:49:25But
00:49:26you also have
00:49:28to trust yourself
00:49:29because you know
00:49:30what you are seeing
00:49:32even if everything
00:49:33else says no.
00:49:35That's not it.
00:49:36You know
00:49:37he knew.
00:49:39I know.
00:49:41No what?
00:49:44No.
00:49:44That the murderer
00:49:45came through that door
00:49:46with a glass of poison
00:49:48paraquat.
00:49:48That the murderer
00:49:49tried to get Mr. Winter
00:49:50to drink it
00:49:51and that Mr. Winter
00:49:51did drink it
00:49:52just a little
00:49:53and tossed it
00:49:55on the flowers
00:49:55next to him
00:49:56burning them.
00:49:57That the murderer
00:49:57threw a vase
00:49:58at Mr. Winter
00:49:59but missed.
00:50:00That this vase
00:50:01shattered on this wall
00:50:02and that the shards
00:50:03of that vase
00:50:04hit Mr. Winter
00:50:04on the forehead.
00:50:05That the murderer
00:50:06then picked up
00:50:08a large clock
00:50:08on the mantle
00:50:09the biggest
00:50:10heaviest
00:50:11most accessible
00:50:12murder weapon
00:50:13in this room
00:50:13and hit Mr. Winter
00:50:15over the head
00:50:16with it
00:50:16killing him.
00:50:19I know
00:50:20that.
00:50:28But that is impossible.
00:50:30It's incredible.
00:50:30It's not impossible.
00:50:31It's impossible.
00:50:33You're saying
00:50:33someone comes
00:50:34in that room
00:50:35before Mr. Dume?
00:50:36Yes.
00:50:37Then comes
00:50:37in this room
00:50:38while Mr. Winter
00:50:39is alone
00:50:40after his fight
00:50:41with Elsie?
00:50:42Yes.
00:50:42And then kills AB?
00:50:43Yes.
00:50:44And then what?
00:50:44Where do they go?
00:50:45Out the door.
00:50:46What door?
00:50:46There were people
00:50:47on the other side
00:50:47of these doors.
00:50:48Mr. Dume was right there
00:50:50talking to his mom.
00:50:51Not that door.
00:50:52Then what door?
00:50:52Oh my God.
00:50:53Oh shit.
00:50:54That door.
00:50:56That door.
00:50:56Yeah, I still
00:51:03don't see it.
00:51:04Because it's not
00:51:05there, Mr. Dume.
00:51:06Not anymore.
00:51:08But on the night
00:51:08of the murder
00:51:09there was a door there.
00:51:10A passageway
00:51:11between the yellow
00:51:12oval room
00:51:12and the treaty room.
00:51:13I must have seen
00:51:14it myself
00:51:15but it made
00:51:16no impression on me.
00:51:17Even when I
00:51:18spent time here
00:51:19earlier today
00:51:20and discovered
00:51:21other curious things
00:51:22I missed it.
00:51:24It's only when I realized
00:51:26various paintings
00:51:27had been moved
00:51:27and this one
00:51:28brought in here
00:51:30specifically to cover
00:51:31a now larger space
00:51:33I figured out
00:51:34what had happened
00:51:35that the door
00:51:36had been sealed
00:51:37hidden
00:51:38replaced by this wall
00:51:40a door that makes
00:51:41the impossible
00:51:42possible
00:51:43and makes every
00:51:44single one of you
00:51:45a suspect.
00:51:47No!
00:51:48Come on.
00:51:49Absolutely not.
00:51:50Not me.
00:51:52Yes!
00:51:52You!
00:51:53All of you
00:51:55the possibility
00:51:56that someone
00:51:57could slip in here
00:51:58kill Mr. Winter
00:51:58and then slip out
00:52:00that door
00:52:00means all of you
00:52:01could have done this.
00:52:03Even you
00:52:04and you
00:52:05and you
00:52:07because if I'm wrong
00:52:09about this
00:52:10then one of you
00:52:11definitely did it.
00:52:13Nobody here
00:52:14has a solid alibi
00:52:15for that brief window
00:52:16in which we know
00:52:17Mr. Winter was killed
00:52:18and the fact
00:52:19that you did
00:52:20other bizarre
00:52:21and terrible shit
00:52:22later does not mean
00:52:23you did not do this.
00:52:25In fact
00:52:25it increases
00:52:26the likelihood
00:52:27that you did
00:52:28that you did
00:52:29kill him.
00:52:30You all certainly
00:52:31seemed like you
00:52:32wanted to kill him.
00:52:33You all fought
00:52:34with him that night.
00:52:35Fuck you A.B.
00:52:36I feel like you have
00:52:37something personal
00:52:37against me.
00:52:38There's broken glass!
00:52:40I'm not leaving.
00:52:40This is my dessert
00:52:42and it is going
00:52:42to be served
00:52:43my way!
00:52:44Mr. Winter police
00:52:45I'm begging you!
00:52:46You screamed at him.
00:52:47Ah!
00:52:49You threatened him.
00:52:51Keep your fucking mouth shut.
00:52:53You openly mused
00:52:55about killing him.
00:52:56He won't fire me
00:52:57if he isn't here anymore.
00:52:59Some of you even said
00:53:00you were going to kill him.
00:53:02I am going!
00:53:03To kill him!
00:53:04And then one of you did.
00:53:07So, tell me.
00:53:10Who sealed that door?
00:53:11Jasmine Haney
00:53:36ordered the door
00:53:37to be sealed.
00:53:38What?
00:53:39I saw the work
00:53:41being done
00:53:41and I thought
00:53:42it was odd.
00:53:43Since the president
00:53:44and Mr. Morgan
00:53:45aren't living here anymore
00:53:47I asked
00:53:48and I was told
00:53:49it was Jasmine.
00:53:51Well.
00:53:53Were you going
00:53:54to mention that
00:53:55Ms. Haney?
00:53:56No, I wasn't
00:53:57Ms. Kupp.
00:53:58Detective.
00:54:01You really think
00:54:02I had something
00:54:03to do with this?
00:54:03You wanted this job
00:54:04more than anything.
00:54:05You thought
00:54:06he had betrayed you.
00:54:07You fought with him
00:54:08so
00:54:09yes.
00:54:12Maybe.
00:54:20Did you seal
00:54:20that door?
00:54:25Yes, I did.
00:54:26Oh.
00:54:28Oh.
00:54:29Oh.
00:54:29Oh.
00:54:32But it wasn't
00:54:33my idea.
00:54:35It was an order.
00:54:36It was an order.
00:54:44He called me
00:54:45and told me
00:54:46to take care of it.
00:54:48Who?
00:54:49Him.
00:54:50What?
00:54:54That's a lie.
00:54:56Perry, that's a lie.
00:54:59Perry?
00:55:00Yeah, Jasmine.
00:55:04Detective Kupp.
00:55:04You never called?
00:55:06Called Ms. Haney
00:55:07to seal off a door?
00:55:08Yes.
00:55:08No.
00:55:09What are you talking about?
00:55:10You called me.
00:55:11I talked to you.
00:55:12This is the second time now
00:55:13you said you didn't make a call
00:55:15that someone else
00:55:15claimed you made.
00:55:16I know.
00:55:17These things didn't happen.
00:55:19She's lying.
00:55:20And Agent Roush
00:55:20was lying
00:55:21when she said
00:55:22you ordered
00:55:22Secret Service
00:55:23off the second floor
00:55:24the night of the state dinner.
00:55:25He called at 9.22 p.m.
00:55:26I spoke to him.
00:55:27Yes!
00:55:28It's insane!
00:55:29Perry, please.
00:55:29Yes.
00:55:30Yes.
00:55:32Yes.
00:55:33I agree.
00:55:36Did you have any issue
00:55:38with A.B.?
00:55:39What?
00:55:40No!
00:55:40Why are you asking me that?
00:55:42I mean,
00:55:43not really.
00:55:44Oh.
00:55:47I didn't do this, Ms. Kupp.
00:55:49Detective.
00:55:49You have to believe me.
00:55:51Oh,
00:55:51I definitely don't have to.
00:55:53I don't have to.
00:55:53I don't have to.
00:55:53I don't have to.
00:55:55I don't have to.
00:55:57I don't have to.
00:55:59There's a bird
00:56:10on your wallpaper
00:56:12in there
00:56:13in your bedroom.
00:56:14Looks almost
00:56:15like a Malaysian
00:56:17railbabbler.
00:56:18I'm not sure it is,
00:56:19but
00:56:19that would be fitting.
00:56:23A Malaysian
00:56:23railbabbler
00:56:24is a
00:56:25wildly
00:56:26elusive
00:56:27bird,
00:56:27but not
00:56:28in a traditional way.
00:56:29It's not just
00:56:30hard to spot.
00:56:32It's hard to identify.
00:56:33Even what it is.
00:56:36It's called
00:56:37a railbabbler,
00:56:38but it's actually
00:56:39not a rail.
00:56:40It's not a babbler.
00:56:42It has a song
00:56:43that's almost
00:56:43ventriloquial,
00:56:44like it's coming
00:56:46from somewhere else.
00:56:47maybe it wasn't you.
00:57:00Maybe it was an order.
00:57:02Maybe someone did call.
00:57:07And maybe it wasn't you.
00:57:09Maybe it was only
00:57:12someone pretending
00:57:14to be you,
00:57:15using your voice,
00:57:17disguising theirs,
00:57:19hiding.
00:57:21That's
00:57:21possible.
00:57:22This
00:57:36is
00:57:39tricky.
00:57:45it was me.
00:58:04I did it.
00:58:06I ordered
00:58:07the door sealed.
00:58:08I faked Elliot's voice.
00:58:11I'm good at it.
00:58:13You know that.
00:58:14Elliot is indecisive.
00:58:15Uh,
00:58:16well,
00:58:17uh,
00:58:18uh,
00:58:18that's,
00:58:19that's tricky.
00:58:20I can do it.
00:58:21I did it.
00:58:22What?
00:58:22Why?
00:58:25Mr. Winter and I
00:58:26had gotten in a fight
00:58:27earlier that night
00:58:28about the night.
00:58:30He had said some
00:58:31terrible things about me.
00:58:32And in the heat of it,
00:58:33I grabbed his journal.
00:58:35I tore a page out.
00:58:36I felt bad about it.
00:58:38I went looking for him later.
00:58:39And that's when
00:58:40I heard the fight
00:58:41between him and Elsie
00:58:42in here.
00:58:43I left,
00:58:44but I came back immediately
00:58:45because it was so
00:58:46violent.
00:58:49And that's when
00:58:49I saw him
00:58:50right there
00:58:52dead.
00:58:59They had killed him.
00:59:02Who?
00:59:05Them.
00:59:05No!
00:59:06No!
00:59:06No!
00:59:16They were both here
00:59:17in the room.
00:59:19And it was exactly
00:59:21like you said,
00:59:21Detective Cup.
00:59:22She and Winter
00:59:22were fighting.
00:59:23She threw a vase at him.
00:59:25It missed.
00:59:25It cut his face.
00:59:27Bruce came in
00:59:27after that
00:59:28and hit him
00:59:28with the clock.
00:59:30This is what they told me.
00:59:31What about the poison?
00:59:33That was for her husband.
00:59:35He was ruining her life.
00:59:37He wanted me to lose my job,
00:59:38wanted to destroy my life.
00:59:40And she did plan to kill him.
00:59:41I did want to kill him!
00:59:43That's what she said.
00:59:45She had gone to the shed
00:59:45that night
00:59:46when she assumed
00:59:47no one would be around
00:59:48and she found the poison.
00:59:49She called Mr. Winter
00:59:50from the shed
00:59:51because she had to tell him
00:59:52that she was going to be late
00:59:53cleaning the Lincoln bedroom.
00:59:56And when she got up here
00:59:57a few minutes later
00:59:58and Mr. Winter confronted her
01:00:00and she realized
01:00:01she was going to lose her job,
01:00:02she lost her shit.
01:00:04That's when she threw the vase.
01:00:06The poison came after.
01:00:07Because there wasn't much blood,
01:00:08they decided
01:00:09that they could make it
01:00:10look like a suicide.
01:00:13That was his idea.
01:00:15They staged it.
01:00:17Again,
01:00:17exactly like you said.
01:00:19Or close.
01:00:20They got a glass from next door.
01:00:24Poured some poison
01:00:25down his throat.
01:00:28Then tossed the rest
01:00:30in the flowers.
01:00:31That's fucked up.
01:00:32But I saw two glasses.
01:00:35The other one was mine.
01:00:36I needed a drink.
01:00:39Because of the note.
01:00:41Because of the note.
01:00:45I didn't know what to do.
01:00:48I felt terrible for them.
01:00:50I know that sounds crazy,
01:00:52but she looked so
01:00:53terrified.
01:00:56She has a daughter.
01:01:00He was just trying
01:01:01to protect her.
01:01:03The page
01:01:04I accidentally ripped out
01:01:05of Mr. Winter's journal,
01:01:06it read like a suicide note.
01:01:08I'm sure that's not what it was,
01:01:09but that's what it sounded like.
01:01:10And I realized what it could do
01:01:12for them
01:01:12to sell the story.
01:01:15I gave them the note.
01:01:18He
01:01:18tucked it into Mr. Winter's suit jacket
01:01:21and carried Winter away.
01:01:25He came back down,
01:01:26cleaned it all up.
01:01:27I helped him.
01:01:28Picked up pieces of the vase,
01:01:30vacuumed.
01:01:31He forgot the glasses.
01:01:32Mistakes were made.
01:01:33And the clock?
01:01:34He took it away.
01:01:35He said he knew how to get rid of it.
01:01:37Then they came up with their stories.
01:01:40Perfectly inconsistent.
01:01:41And the door.
01:01:45Why did you seal the door?
01:01:48Panic.
01:01:50When you were up
01:01:51on the third floor
01:01:51that night investigating,
01:01:53I wasn't concerned.
01:01:54I thought this would all
01:01:55go away.
01:01:57But when you came down here
01:01:58before you left,
01:02:00I got worried.
01:02:01Even after you left,
01:02:03I was scared you'd come back
01:02:04or somebody would.
01:02:07I just wanted
01:02:08the room to look different.
01:02:11To feel different,
01:02:12somehow.
01:02:14I was trying to protect them.
01:02:18I feel terrible
01:02:19for Mr. Winter.
01:02:21And I honestly feel
01:02:22terrible for them.
01:02:24Still.
01:02:33I'm sorry.
01:02:34I'm sorry.
01:02:54Blink.
01:02:55Yes.
01:02:58Watch for it.
01:03:00The blink.
01:03:01What?
01:03:04You were so close.
01:03:12So close.
01:03:14I am so unexpectedly
01:03:16impressed by you, Lily.
01:03:18So smart.
01:03:20So quick-thinking.
01:03:22Such an incredible performer
01:03:24today on that night.
01:03:26So much more diabolical
01:03:28than I even imagined.
01:03:30What is going on?
01:03:32And you could have done it.
01:03:33I would have found you
01:03:34some way.
01:03:34I'm sure of it.
01:03:35But you were close.
01:03:37Undone by that single question,
01:03:39the birder asks relentlessly,
01:03:41why?
01:03:43Why did you seal that passageway up,
01:03:45Lily?
01:03:46Just to make it all feel better?
01:03:47No.
01:03:48I...
01:03:48You needed something
01:03:49better than that.
01:03:50Because there was another reason.
01:03:52Because you were hiding something.
01:03:53Something with your fingerprints
01:03:55all over it.
01:03:56Something that proves
01:03:57you killed
01:03:59A.B. Winter.
01:04:00What?
01:04:00What?
01:04:03Oh!
01:04:05Detective Cupp!
01:04:06I'm really sorry about this,
01:04:08Mr. President.
01:04:11Oh!
01:04:11Oh!
01:04:12Oh!
01:04:12Oh!
01:04:12Oh!
01:04:12Oh!
01:04:12Oh!
01:04:12Oh!
01:04:12Oh!
01:04:12Oh!
01:04:12Oh!
01:04:13Oh!
01:04:13Oh!
01:04:14Oh!
01:04:14Oh!
01:04:15Oh!
01:04:15Oh!
01:04:16Oh!
01:04:16Oh!
01:04:17Oh!
01:04:17Oh!
01:04:18Oh!
01:04:18Oh!
01:04:19Oh!
01:04:19Oh!
01:04:20Oh!
01:04:20Oh!
01:04:21Oh!
01:04:22Oh!
01:04:22Oh!
01:04:23Oh!
01:04:23Oh!
01:04:23Oh!
01:04:26Fuck yeah!
01:04:27Ha-ha!
01:04:53Oh.
01:05:23I need to call my dad.
01:05:29Why?
01:05:32Because of the clock.
01:05:34Why did you do this, Lily?
01:05:36Oh, I can take that. Unless...
01:05:40Or why don't I start and then you can jump in?
01:05:45She did it because she hates you.
01:05:47And by you, I do mean you, Mr. President.
01:05:49But I really mean all of you.
01:05:51The house, like the actual house, like the physical space.
01:05:55Have you seen what she's done to the Blue Room?
01:05:58You don't do these things unless you really hate this place,
01:06:01but also like the house as an idea, as an institution.
01:06:05She hates it.
01:06:07The history, the traditions, the staff, what it represents.
01:06:10America, I guess.
01:06:12She hates it and she hated Mr. Winter most of all
01:06:14because he represented what it represents
01:06:16and he was in her way and he had been for a long time.
01:06:20He sabotaged Wellness Christmas.
01:06:26She wanted to reinvent the White House
01:06:28and to her that meant tear it down, maybe literally.
01:06:31And he loved the house and cared about the house,
01:06:34about the people and the plumbing and the artwork and the budgets.
01:06:38And he cared about you, Mr. President, and you, Mr. Morgan,
01:06:41and the ordinary Americans who came from all over the country to visit here.
01:06:47And that was all just really stupid to her.
01:06:51Am I doing okay?
01:06:53She killed Mr. Winter because she hated him,
01:06:55but also because she feared him.
01:06:57You wanna know why?
01:06:58This is why.
01:06:59Because she found out on the night of the state dinner,
01:07:02he was going to expose her.
01:07:04That was the fight that Mr. Gomez heard in Mr. Winter's office.
01:07:07It wasn't Harry Hollinger in that room.
01:07:09It was Lily Schumacher.
01:07:10And she just told you that it was.
01:07:12She admitted it.
01:07:14Dude, that's the crazy genius of this wild attempt
01:07:16to frame Bruce and Elsie just now.
01:07:18So much of what she said was true.
01:07:20She and Winter got in a fight.
01:07:21He said some terrible things about her.
01:07:23She ripped a page from his journal.
01:07:25That all happened.
01:07:26What do you mean, expose her?
01:07:28I mean, tell you and Mr. Morgan
01:07:30every last selfish and absurd and abusive thing
01:07:33she had done since she got here,
01:07:35none of which you probably knew about,
01:07:36all of which he had meticulously documented in his journal.
01:07:40All the lies and misrepresentations
01:07:43and indulgences and general shitty behavior
01:07:47was all here, and that scared her.
01:07:49Excuse me.
01:07:51I'm sorry.
01:07:53Really?
01:07:54That's it?
01:07:55That's all you got?
01:07:56Yes.
01:07:57We fought.
01:07:58I admit it.
01:07:59We did fight.
01:08:01Everybody fought with A.B.
01:08:04And yes, he was worked up, and so was I.
01:08:06You think I'm going to kill him
01:08:08because he was going to expose my shitty behavior?
01:08:12Seriously?
01:08:14What do I care if he says crazy shit to Perry and Elliot?
01:08:17First of all, they're never going to believe him over me.
01:08:19That's not the way the world works.
01:08:21And second, I don't care.
01:08:24I'm rich.
01:08:26Here's the secret, everybody.
01:08:27Rich people don't give a shit.
01:08:29I'm not going to miss my $114,000 salary
01:08:34or whatever the fuck it is, which I give to charity, by the way.
01:08:37I'm doing this as a public service, okay?
01:08:40Okay, guys?
01:08:43So fire me.
01:08:46Yes, Lily.
01:08:48I think that's going to happen, so thank you.
01:08:51And you do make some excellent points.
01:08:54You really do.
01:08:55The thing is, though, it wasn't just your shitty behavior.
01:08:58Mr. Winter was smart enough to know he needed more than that,
01:09:01and it wasn't hard to find.
01:09:03There are a couple pages here in his journal
01:09:06that I didn't know what to make of at first.
01:09:08It's a blizzard of numbers and letters,
01:09:11almost like a puzzle, probably deliberately so,
01:09:14to kind of hide his work.
01:09:16But I figured out what it was,
01:09:19because I'm, like, really good at puzzles.
01:09:22It was all the money you misappropriated.
01:09:25Stole.
01:09:26Where is the money going to come from?
01:09:28You don't have the budget for any of this.
01:09:29Where does the money ever come from, A.B.?
01:09:31It comes from another pile of money.
01:09:32That's how money works.
01:09:33Yeah, you're rich.
01:09:34But here's another thing about the way the world works.
01:09:37Rich people steal money all the time.
01:09:40In some cases, it's even why they're rich.
01:09:42My guess is your theft had more to do with laziness,
01:09:46arrogance, and contempt for the system, but who knows?
01:09:49And it wasn't just money.
01:09:52These numbers?
01:09:53It was all the various criminal statutes and ethical codes
01:09:57Mr. Winter knew you had violated,
01:10:00in the way you had secured contracts,
01:10:02in the favors that you traded with different vendors,
01:10:04in the people you had invited into the White House
01:10:06and who advised you on moving American government officials
01:10:09around at a state dinner.
01:10:11I think Mr. Winter told you all this in his office.
01:10:14I am going to tell them everything.
01:10:16And I think you really, really, really, really, really gave a shit.
01:10:21And I think that's why you tried to grab his journal.
01:10:24And I think that's why when you walked out of his office that night
01:10:27and stood in the hallway and read that page that you accidentally ripped out,
01:10:31you decided to kill him.
01:10:34To stage a suicide.
01:10:36Would you have killed him?
01:10:37If you didn't rip that page out and realize what you could do with it?
01:10:41Maybe.
01:10:42Maybe.
01:10:43It's impossible to say.
01:10:44And irrelevant.
01:10:45All criminal activity is motive plus opportunity,
01:10:49and you saw an opportunity.
01:10:51All of your problems would go away,
01:10:53because Mr. Winter would go away.
01:10:54And then you could redo all the rooms and fire all the staff,
01:10:58and it would be great,
01:10:59and you wouldn't have to sit in some shitty fluorescent lit courtroom
01:11:02for the next two years,
01:11:03while your really good lawyer made some of it go away a different way.
01:11:07This was easier and more fun and clever.
01:11:12And that was it.
01:11:14The die was cast.
01:11:17Everything else we know.
01:11:20You were the one leading the non-toxic, chemical-free,
01:11:23conscious landscaping initiative, whatever the hell that is.
01:11:26So you went to the shed with your glass that broke,
01:11:29picked up Emily's sister's little tumbler,
01:11:31filled it with paraquat, fine choice,
01:11:33and you called Mr. Winter and said,
01:11:35let's meet in the yellow oval room.
01:11:37Let's see if we can talk.
01:11:38I apologize.
01:11:39Whatever you needed to say.
01:11:40And he agreed.
01:11:41Give me five minutes.
01:11:42Even though I have a strong sense that he knew something bad might happen,
01:11:45just like birds have this thing where they can sense
01:11:48a change in barometric pressure when a storm is coming.
01:11:51I am going to be dead by the end of the night.
01:11:54You called the Secret Services Elliot.
01:11:56Called at 9.22 p.m.
01:11:57Had them clear the second floor.
01:11:58We were told to stay off the floor.
01:12:00Then you carried the poison into the family living room,
01:12:04waited for Elsie to leave,
01:12:07and you came in here with your drinks.
01:12:09Scotch for you, paraquat, and Scotch for AB.
01:12:14And then you gave him the page from his journal back.
01:12:17Suicide note.
01:12:18And watched him put it into his pocket,
01:12:21and then you went to work.
01:12:26I had to charm him.
01:12:29I doubt he was charmed.
01:12:31But Mr. Winter also wasn't a cynical person.
01:12:34I don't think he believed someone could be so malevolent,
01:12:37but he'd seen a lot, knew a lot of pettiness, cruelty, arrogance,
01:12:42probably more than any of us could ever imagine.
01:12:44But even after everything,
01:12:46he was still willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.
01:12:50It cost him his life.
01:12:57Winter drank the poison, realized immediately what it was,
01:13:11and tossed the rest onto the roses.
01:13:13But paraquat works fast and is devastatingly painful,
01:13:16and he was rocked.
01:13:19I'm sure you don't know that much about poison, Lily,
01:13:21but you probably knew enough to know that what he drank
01:13:23wasn't going to kill him.
01:13:25So you threw the vase, that mist, but startled him even further.
01:13:29So you went for the clock, and that was it.
01:13:32AB was dead, but now you had to move quickly.
01:13:35So you grabbed the clock and escaped into the passageway.
01:13:38But this damn clock, right? What to do?
01:13:41It's huge and weird and bloody and cracked,
01:13:44and you couldn't walk around with it,
01:13:45and you couldn't just put it down anywhere.
01:13:47And now Elsie and then Bruce were in this room,
01:13:49finding the body, and you had no reason to believe
01:13:51that they would so tragically misinterpret
01:13:53the actions of the other.
01:13:54For all you knew, Secret Service was going to come up here
01:13:56in 30 seconds, and then you would be caught.
01:13:58So you stuffed the clock in this storage drawer
01:14:02in front of you in the passageway,
01:14:04waited for them to clear the hall,
01:14:06and then sped out through the treaty room
01:14:07and down the grand staircase,
01:14:09and you were free.
01:14:11You rejoined the party,
01:14:13but that clock was eating away at you.
01:14:18What if they're up there?
01:14:19What if they find it?
01:14:20And then, as time went by,
01:14:22and you realized nobody was saying anything
01:14:24about a dead body, and trust me,
01:14:26there would be a big to-do about a dead body
01:14:29in the White House,
01:14:30especially on the night of the state dinner,
01:14:32you decided to go back up and see what was going on,
01:14:35move the clock if you could.
01:14:36But you get up here, and there's nothing.
01:14:38No Winter, no broken vase, nothing.
01:14:40Only engineer Bruce Geller looking for a leak
01:14:43from Trip Morgan's room.
01:14:45What the hell was going on?
01:14:47Was Winter alive?
01:14:48What happened?
01:14:49You were genuinely confused, worried,
01:14:52and that's what everyone saw from that point forward.
01:14:55I was looking for him everywhere, in every room.
01:14:58She seemed worried, concerned.
01:14:59Not panicky, just genuinely worried.
01:15:01What I saw...
01:15:02I still haven't found A.B.
01:15:04Yes, turns out you are a great actress,
01:15:07but that's not what it was.
01:15:09You were panicked.
01:15:12When I arrived and all of the details
01:15:14of what had happened to Mr. Winter started to come out,
01:15:17that he apparently killed himself in the game room...
01:15:20Yes, it was absolutely staggering to you, mind-blowing.
01:15:25But it was great.
01:15:26You were off the hook.
01:15:27And then when I started to bring the investigation
01:15:29down to the second floor, well, like you said,
01:15:33you started to get a little worried.
01:15:35But I was gone soon enough, and the minute I was,
01:15:37you took the final step to bury the evidence.
01:15:39Seal it in.
01:15:40Hopefully forever.
01:15:42It was a brilliant plan, and you deserve a lot of credit,
01:15:45but you really only made it as long as you did
01:15:47because of the bizarre miscommunications
01:15:50and regrettable behavior
01:15:51from so many other people in the house.
01:15:54So, team effort here.
01:15:57Really owe them a lot.
01:15:58Even though you hate them.
01:16:08This is the man who died.
01:16:10Right here.
01:16:12In this room.
01:16:13I heard a lot about him from you.
01:16:18You can learn a lot about someone
01:16:20from what he writes and reads.
01:16:23He was a complicated person.
01:16:26Flawed and difficult.
01:16:29Fiercely loyal.
01:16:30Smart and thoughtful.
01:16:32An enormous pain in the ass.
01:16:34And endlessly generous in his thoughts.
01:16:37He had suffered in his life,
01:16:39and he had persevered.
01:16:40And I'm sorry I never got the chance to meet him.
01:16:43He loved this house.
01:16:46I didn't know him, but I know that.
01:16:48Loved the people who work here.
01:16:50Respected them.
01:16:51Understood them.
01:16:52Appreciated them.
01:16:53Saw them.
01:16:54Saw who they were.
01:16:55Where they came from.
01:16:56What they had given up to be here.
01:16:58Why they were here.
01:16:59And there's a question again.
01:17:00Why?
01:17:01Why are they here?
01:17:03Why was he here?
01:17:05For you, Mr. President.
01:17:14And for you, Mr. Morgan.
01:17:19For everyone here.
01:17:22For all of us.
01:17:23It wasn't us versus them for Winter.
01:17:25It really wasn't.
01:17:26It was just us.
01:17:27One house.
01:17:28One family.
01:17:29One imperfect union trying to make it work.
01:17:32Enduring.
01:17:33He believed in that.
01:17:34In this.
01:17:35And look.
01:17:36I'm just the detective, but I think this is really worth believing in.
01:17:44And she does not believe in this.
01:17:51And that is why she really, really sucks.
01:17:56Also, she's a murderer.
01:17:57I'm still a little unclear on who has jurisdiction here.
01:18:02So, whoever it is.
01:18:04Take her away.
01:18:05Yeah, yeah.
01:18:06Relax, gentlemen.
01:18:07No, no, no.
01:18:08No, no, no.
01:18:09No, no, no.
01:18:10Get her out of here.
01:18:11No, no, no, no.
01:18:20Lily Schumacher.
01:18:21Lily Schumacher.
01:18:22She wasn't even in my top three.
01:18:25I had the Swiss guy, the salt guy, and the water guy.
01:18:29And you?
01:18:30Let me guess.
01:18:32Yeah.
01:18:33Ride or die.
01:18:34What about Harry?
01:18:35What about him?
01:18:36Did he play any role in this?
01:18:38No.
01:18:39I mean, Trip Morgan was right.
01:18:40He is an asshole.
01:18:41Okay, so...
01:18:42He was incredibly rude to Mr. Winter.
01:18:44He did try to kick me off the case.
01:18:46He did inappropriately search Mr. Winter's office.
01:18:49Although, I think that was more in the spirit of being an anxious political animal as much as anything but the conspiracy stuff.
01:18:55That was all bullshit.
01:18:56Sorry, Senator.
01:18:57Don't worry about it.
01:18:58We're in a closed session.
01:18:59To his credit, he did bring me back and let me solve this.
01:19:02People are complicated.
01:19:03Why did Lily try to frame Bruce and Elsie?
01:19:06It was a Hail Mary.
01:19:07She knew I was on to her in the end.
01:19:09She knew.
01:19:10But when did you know?
01:19:11I knew what I knew.
01:19:13I don't mean that as a riddle.
01:19:14At some point, you go from not knowing something to knowing it to seeing it.
01:19:18When is that exactly?
01:19:19I don't know.
01:19:20I had my suspicions about Lily when she first told me she saw Elsie and Winter fighting in the yellow oval room.
01:19:25I was in the hall and I saw him arguing with someone in the yellow oval room.
01:19:30Elsie told me they fought behind closed doors.
01:19:33He told me to close the door.
01:19:34She had no reason to make that detail up and it was consistent with what everyone else had told me about Winter.
01:19:38That he always tried to have his disagreements behind closed doors.
01:19:42He definitely didn't like to fight in public.
01:19:44He'd always try to avoid that.
01:19:46He'd bring in, close the door.
01:19:48How could Lily see them from the hall if the door was closed?
01:19:52It was suspicious.
01:19:54Turns out she did see it because she was watching from the family living room where she was mixing her poison.
01:19:59And when Jasmine said the call to seal the door came down from Elliot, I had a strong sense that it was Lily.
01:20:05I had heard her impersonation and I never suspected Elliot.
01:20:09And then she blinked.
01:20:12But not because of the clock, although that was the clincher, but when she said she saw Bruce put the note in Winter's jacket.
01:20:18Lily wasn't in the game room when I removed the note that night.
01:20:21She couldn't have known where it was unless she saw Winter put it there himself, which she did.
01:20:28Well, time to departure.
01:20:30Wheels up in...
01:20:32Rialis.
01:20:33Reagan or Dulles?
01:20:34Dulles.
01:20:35Well, you better get going then.
01:20:37Thank you, Detective Cup. I've been doing this a very long time.
01:20:41I've never seen anyone like you.
01:20:44I got you something. For the trip. Do not open in here.
01:21:05I feel really bad for the person sitting next to you on that flight.
01:21:15Thank you. For everything.
01:21:22I need to make a quick stop.
01:21:24You sure? Do we have time?
01:21:26We have time.
01:21:35Five minutes.
01:21:43I solved the murder.
01:21:44The one next door?
01:21:45Yes.
01:21:46Oh, great.
01:21:47I thought you might have been coming about Clive.
01:21:50No.
01:21:52Does that mean my son's husband will be moving back in?
01:21:56The President of the United States?
01:21:58Yes.
01:21:59He is.
01:22:00Oh, it was so nice around here.
01:22:03I'm sorry.
01:22:04Who did it?
01:22:05Wait.
01:22:06Don't tell me.
01:22:07A snotty girl with the attitude?
01:22:10Yes.
01:22:11You could have just asked me.
01:22:21Detective Cup-
01:22:22I'll have them send up Baca, Miss Cox.
01:22:24You are good.
01:22:26Yes.
01:22:27I am.
01:22:30The best.
01:22:34And you're good.
01:22:36So if you can find the flying flying axis,
01:22:38I love you.
01:22:39You are good.
01:22:40Then what.
01:22:41Oh, God.
01:22:42And you don't have to go.
01:22:43I'm not sure.
01:22:44Oops.
01:22:45I'll have to dive in.
01:22:48Oh, God.
01:22:49Oh, God.
01:22:50I'm sorry.
01:22:51And I'm not sure.
01:22:52I'm not sure.
01:22:53If I see the flying flying flying.
01:22:54What.
01:22:55What?
01:22:56The flying flying flying flying.
01:22:57Oh, God.
