第12話: キートンがリディ・ウェインの死を調査し、ウォルターとドリス・ゴールドマンに関わる政治スキャンダルを暴く

12

A middle-aged woman named Liddy Wain was found dead in her house, and her nephew Thomas Little is considered the person of interest. At Liddy's house, Keaton meets an elderly woman named Jerry Burnham, who is certain that Thomas is innocent. In Liddy's kitchen, Burnham shows Keaton a pot on the stove, a pie in the oven and a perfume bottle in the cabinet all as evidence, implying that Liddy was involved with a secret lover. Burnham also shows Keaton a bathrobe with the engraved initials "W.G.", found in Liddy's closet. Keaton learns that a man, who usually buys a bouquet of tree lupins, was seen wearing a watch with a family crest. Burnham views a politician on television named Walter Goldman with his wife Doris Goldman, spotting the watch around Walter's wrist. At the coffee shop, Doris attempts to bribe Keaton and Burnham from revealing the political scandal, but Burnham refuses the money. In the park, Walter admits to Keaton and Burnham that he was Liddy's lover, but he only chose to marry Doris in order to start a political career. Keaton and Burnham execute their plan of blackmail at the bridge during the night. When a speeding car approaches them, Keaton throws a nut into the windshield and causes the car to drive off the bridge. Keaton dives into the water and surprisingly finds Doris in the car. While Doris confesses the murder to the police, Burnham tells Keaton that both Doris and Liddy wore the same perfume. (Source: Wikipedia)
