Ep. 17: Keaton ermittelt im Mordfall Edmund Lyman und beschützt die Witwe Flora vor versteckten Gefahren.

17

During a funeral held for a businessman named Edmund Lyman, Charlie prevents Keaton from talking to Edmund's widow Flora Lyman, who hired Charlie as her bodyguard. Daniel tells Keaton that Edmund was found murdered in his rose garden, and Edmund's gardener Eric Lyndon is the prime suspect but has disappeared. Charlie and Flora survive a car accident into a tree after the brake fluid was mysteriously emptied. While Charlie watches Flora tend to the rose garden, Keaton gathers evidence of the murder. Charlie soon discovers that Flora's dog was poisoned from drinking milk. Keaton finds Flora tending to an unnamed rose species, noticing a plot recently dug up. As they eat cherry pie, Keaton informs Charlie that Edmund was murdered near the Sterling Silver roses, the variety with the fewest thorns, but Edmund's autopsy displayed numerous abrasions on his face. Keaton later finds the poisonous chemicals and Eric's bloodstains on the wall inside Edmund's garden shed. Keaton deduces that Eric was also murdered, theorizing that Flora is the real culprit. As Keaton pieces together the evidence that all point to Flora, she admits that she killed Edmund after her affair with Eric. However, she refused to turn herself in to the police and killed Eric, having buried his body in the plot. Keaton reveals that Eric was going to register the unnamed rose species as the Graceful Flora roses. Flora is consequently arrested, and Charlie leaves a rose on the police car before sadly walking away with Keaton. (Source: Wikipedia)
