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
I am the victim in this game, am I not? Nobody sends a falconer to a murder dinner to be the detective.
Then I will be the suspect. Suspects get to sit still and be interrogated, which is my preferred form of conversation.
Good. Confess to something small. Nobody ever believes the big lie from a man holding a fountain pen like a scalpel.
I confess to once returning a nib to a widow unrepaired, because fixing it would have meant she stopped visiting.
The challenge
That is the saddest alibi I have ever heard. I am putting you down as innocent and slightly in love with a widow.
Only slightly. Now, the clue card says the murderer smells of pigeon. Tamsin, I am looking at your glove.
Objection! The pigeons are my employees. You do not accuse a woman of murdering her own workforce.
Withdrawn. Shall we lose together? I hear the host has a prize for whoever is accused first and dies most elegantly.
The decision
I will take that bet, and I will play badly at it on purpose, which is a first for me and I resent you for it.
Then the resentment is mutual progress. Cards afterward? I promise to lose with a straight face.
Deal. I will hold you to graceful losing, and see if you can bear to watch me win ungracefully.
Agreed. Next murder dinner, I bring the pens and you bring the hawk. Someone will confess just to make us stop.
