Save them
from grandpapa's influence.
They fought like cat and dog,
aunt Edith and grandpapa.
She told him
he was a slimy foreigner
with his fingers in the till,
and he told her
she was a narrow-minded,
xenophobic snob.
Actually, I think
Here's the man himself.
I know what you're thinking.
The gorgeous daughter of an Earl
and a near midget immigrant,
an unlikely match.
But granny fell for him.
There was something exotic
that appealed to her.
Was the marriage happy?
Very happy.
Of course,
their respective friends
didn't mix, and her parents
couldn't stand him.
Well, then
why didn't they stop it?
Nobody could stop grandpapa,
Charles.
Can you walk me through it?
I brought him up breakfast.
Was that usual?
Yes.
Morning, grandpapa.
He liked me to do it.
And why was that?
We had a... Special bond.
Grandpapa.
Special bond? How do you mean?
Nothing.
We just got along well,
that's all.
This was his bathroom.
And that's the fatal cupboard.
And through there?
His wife's room.
Brenda.
Yes.
Huh.
In my office, you said...
Well, you said
you were frightened.
We're a very odd family,
Charles.
There's lots
of ruthlessness in us
and different kinds
of ruthlessness.
That's what's so disturbing.
The different kinds.
What do you mean?
Exactly what I said.
If you need anything,
you know where to find me.
Yes, thank you, Sophia.
Are you the detective?
Ah, you must be Josephine.
Sophia's sister.
How do you do?
I'm very well, thank you.
So you find out
people's secrets?
That's the idea.
Is that your tree house
out there?
Mine and Eustace's.
He's my older brother.
I like your notebook.
What do you write in it?
The things that I know.
I know lots of things.
And now that my grandpa's dead,
I am by far the cleverest person
in this house.
Anything you'd like to tell me?
Not yet.
You see,
I read detective stories.
And a good detective
will take the time
to gather evidence
and question everyone
before solving a case.
Because the murderer
is never the one
you initially suspect.
Magda is ready for you now.
Magda?
She doesn't like me
calling her "mommy."
She says it ages her.
There's no place like home.
Oh, these shoes are all wrong.
Much too frivolous
for the occasion.
I apologize,
Mr. Hayward.
No.
Oh, god.
I drank far too much claret
last night.
Gives me headaches.
Burgundy suits me
so much better.
an aspirin.
Aspirin?
Pah! Hmpf!
Hair of the dog, darling.
Yeah.
Cure evil with evil.
And what about you?
It's a little early
for me, I think.
You're cute.
