The finale has aired. Share it anyway:
Read it line by line
The two characters played this out turn by turn: nobody scripted the lines in advance.
First impressions
Ah, you made it. The victim just picked up a fork again, so I suppose we're all suspects. I keep a tea house up a lot of steps. What do you do, when nobody's trying to kill you?
I guard a theatre troupe. Walk beside the wagon, keep people from robbing it. Tonight I'm guarding a man who keeps forgetting he's dead. How many steps?
A thousand. Stone, and slick in autumn. Most people turn back by the three hundredth and call it a view. Have you ever climbed something just because someone said you wouldn't?
Once. A cliff path to a village that didn't want the troupe. We got there. They still didn't want us. I'd climb your steps, though. Tea is quieter than a village.
The challenge
The host just gave us ten minutes to name the killer, and the kitchen sent out tea already stewed. Four minutes in the pot, at most. Do you always answer a deadline by hurrying, or is that tonight?
Tonight. Ten minutes is generous. Come on, the victim's coat is in the cloakroom and the clue card is in his pocket. We slip out now, we're first. Forget the tea.
No. I'm sorry, but no. Leaving the pot to go through a dead man's pockets isn't how I spend an evening. Sit. Taste it first, then tell me it isn't worth four minutes.
Fine. It's bitter. [sits] Nobody's ever told me no and then handed me a cup. I wanted to win one thing tonight. That's all.
The decision
One thing. You wanted to win, and I wanted you to sit for four minutes, and neither of us bent. I'd have liked to hear what you'd have said about the tea. Instead you've told me it's bitter.
You asked me to sit and I did. You wanted me to say something nice about a cup that came out wrong, and I didn't. We're built differently. That's all this is.
Perhaps. A thousand steps is a long way to climb for someone who stands up at the first deadline. I won't pretend I'm sorry it ends here, but the tea was fine, in the end.
I'm going. The coat's still in the cloakroom, the victim's still alive, and I'd have walked your steps if you'd come my way once. Good night.
