Lucia and Matt question Anne. They tried to get as much information out of her as possible.
[Lucia] Why did you lie about being with the chef?
[Anne] I'm sorry. I lied. I had to! Tina told me to!
[Lucia] Tina? The maid?
[Anne] Tina is another maid, I saw her bring a bottle of poison into the maid's quarters yesterday and she threatened me!
Lucia backs away. Could it really have been Tina? All this time? She hadn't even considered Tina. They let Anne go and start questioning Tina.
[Lucia] Did you do it Tina?
[Tina] Anne did it! Not me! I saw her pour the poison!
[Lucia] Why are you trying to blame Anne?
[Tina] I didn't poison Katarina! Or stab anyone!
[Lucia] I don't believe you. You are the murderer.
They lock her in her bedroom. They walk to the living room with everyone.
[Matt] We have found the killer!
[Pamela] What? Who was it?
[Lucia] It was Tina, one of my maids.
Everyone seems relieved that the murderer has been identified and is locked up in her room. Still, Lucia wonders, what if Anne did do it? Probably not, It's not right to kill someone and she knows it, she just wanted to get away with it.
Lucia walks upstairs. She knocks on Kaylie's door, waking her up. She opens the door.
[Kaylie] What now?
[Lucia] We found the killer, it's not Anne!
[Kaylie] Really? I knew Anne wouldn't do something like that!
[Lucia] Anne said she lied about being with the chef because she saw the person bring the poison bottle in the house yesterday and she threatened her.
[Kaylie] Why did she tell her to lie about being with someone during the murder even though she saw her being the poison bottle in beforehand?
Lucia goes completely quiet. Kaylie looks at Lucia. They stare at each other and run downstairs. They grab Matt and run to Lucia's room.
[Kaylie] Whoever you locked up, isn't the killer!
[Matt] Wait, what? What do you mean?
Kaylie explains and Matt's eyes widen. They out the room and run to Tina's room. As they open the door they see Tina's lifeless body laying on the floor. Next to her they see a knife. A bloody knife, taken from Lucia's knife collection. They run away, knowing the killer could still be in the layer. They enter the living room.
[Matt] The killer..
[Lucia] Is still..
[Kaylie] On the loose!
The guests gasp. They aren't safe yet. Truly, they are in danger. Terrible danger.
