Paul McCartney is dead, man!

- What?

That's right, young man, "Five minutes early

is a soldier's punctuality!"

Hello, dear.

- Hello.

So Till, take a sip of Samsara tea.

It's good for the blood and a stimulant.

I'm sure Tessa is almost ready!

Thank you, Mrs. Sthrenberg!

I want Samsara tea too!

- Come dear, let's go in the kitchen!

Where did the Kerner family go this year?

Yes, my mother

went to Brazil for two weeks.

Alone?

No, with her fianc.

To investigate the place.

We want to emigrate next year.

Brazil, yes. Beautiful amethysts there.

Several of my friends are in the gem trade.

Hello!

- Are we going?

So, pay attention, it goes like this!

On the 9th of November '66, Paul McCartney

got into his car, an Aston Martin.

Earlier, he had argued with the others

in the studio and was agitated.

He drove down Abbey Road and turned here.

Simultaneously, a white Beetle

came from here and turned this way.

At the intersection of Circus Road and Wellington,

one of them missed a red light and they crashed!

Paul McCartney was squashed between

the door and the steering wheel and...

... decapitated.

Nothing happened to the driver of the Beetle.

The manager, Brian Epstein, decided

to cover up Paul McCartney's death...

and replaced him with a doppelgnger.

The guy with the Beetle

is Paul McCartney's murderer!

Here, look at the albums!

There's evidence all over them.

Here, for example,

the doppelgnger ran out of time.

There you have some guys arranged around.

But he's much too big. Totally conspicuous.

Then here:
OPD

What does that mean?

That's English.

It means "officially pronounced dead".

Officially pronounced dead.

- Hmm.

Then here. That's a P for Paul.

These are "candis" plants.

What?

- Hashish! - Oh!

The P is crossed out. He's dead.

They're standing by the real Paul's grave!

Here, the hand above the head:

an Indian sign for death.

Here, John makes it quite blunt.

The hand above the head again.

This time it's actually the sign of the devil.

Like this!

Is there anything else?

- Yes, of course!

There! Three red carnations on the others,

a black one on Paul.

But the best... is yet to come!

Tell me what you see!

Well, John, Ringo, Paul and George

are on a crosswalk.

And where are they coming from?

From the studio.

Wrong.

Beyond the photo's left is a graveyard.

They're coming from the burial.

Pay attention...

John is wearing white, he's the pastor!

After that comes Ringo in a curious black suit.

So, he's the relative of the dead.

Or could also be an undertaker.

- Could be!

After him comes the false Paul, as the dead.

He's the only one out of step.

Do you notice anything else?
