Wadsworth had just turned on the lights,
like at the beginning of ending 1

"In the dark, the murderer ran across the hall to the study, picked up the rope, and the lead pipe. Ran to the billiard room.
Strangled Yvette ran to library, hit the cop on the head with the lead pipe.
Then, coming out of the library, the doorbell rang--it was the singing
telegram. The murderer picked up the gun where Yvette dropped it, ran to the door, opened it, recognized the girl from her picture, shot her, and ran back to the cellar!" Wadsworth concluded
"The cellar!" Everyone said confused
"Yes" Wadsworth said
"Are you saying your the murderer you were in the cellar after all" I accused Wadsworth
"No I'm not" he said
"But Colonel Mustard wasn't in the cellar" Mrs Peacock said
"No. But you were with me and Mrs white" he said
"So.?" She said
"You murdered them all.You were the person who was missing when the cook and Mr. Boddy were murdered. And the cook used to be your cook! Don't you remember your fatal mistake? You told us at dinner that we were eating one of your favorite recipes. And monkey's brains, though popular in Cantonese cuisine, are not often to be found in Washington, D.C." Wadsworth revealed
"Is that what we ate?" Mr green said looking sick
"Ew I kissed you after you ate that" I sat to Professor Plum in disgust.
Mr green runs off to vomit
"Why would I have murdered all of the others?" She asked
"Obviously, in case Mr. Boddy had told them about you" Wadsworth said
"So it has all nothing to do with the disappearing nuclear physicist and Colonel Mustard's work on the new fusion bomb" Professor Plum realised
"No. Communism was just a red herring.
Mrs. Peacock did it all" Wadsworth answered

"There's no proof" Mrs Peacock said
"Well. The gun is missing. Gentlemen, turn out your pockets. Ladies, empty your purses.Whoever has the gun, is the murderer" Wadsworth said I opened my purse and showed everyone it's contents
Mrs. Peacock opened her purse and pulled out the gun, pointing it at Wadsworth.
"Very well. What do you propose to do about it?" She asked as she made her way to the front door
"Nothing" Wadsworth said
"Nothing" Mrs Peacock replied confused
"Nothing at all I don't approve of murder.
But it seems to me that you've done the world a service by ridding it of an
appalling blackmailer and his disgusting
informers" Wadsworth said
"But the police will be here any minute. What happens then?" Mr Green said
"Why should the police come? Nobody's called them" Wadsworth said like it was obvious which shocked me
"You mean . . ." Mrs Peacock said
"That's right. Now, I suggest that we stack the seven bodies in the cellar, lock it, leave quietly, one at a time, and pretend than none of this has ever happened" Wadsworth said
"Great idea! I'll leave first . . .if you don't mind" Mrs Peacock said waving the gun at us
"Be my guest. In fact, I think we all owe you a vote of thanks" Wadsworth said cheerily
He the started singing as she left
"For she's a jolly good fellow, for she's a jolly good fellow . . ." Everyone else joined in even me as Mrs Peacock left as soon as she did we all relaxed
"I TOLD you I didn't DO it!" Mr green said
"But what if the authorities find out what happened?"Colonel Mustard said
"Why did you let the murderer go" I accused
"The F.B.I. will take care of that" Wadsworth assured us
"You mean . . . ?" Colonel Mustard said
"My phone call from Mr. Hoover? I work for him, of course. How else could I have known everything about you all?" Wadsworth said
"There's still one thing I don't understand" Colonel Mustard said
"ONE thing?" Mrs white said
"Who was Mrs. Peacock taking bribes from?" Colonel Mustard asked
"A foreign power. Her husband, the senator, has influence over defense contracts" Wadsworth revealed
"Is there going to be a coverup?" Professor plum asked
"Isn't that in the public interest? What could be gained by exposure?" Wadsworth asked rhetorically
"Stoping her corrupt husband" I said shrugging
"But is the F.B.I. in the habit of cleaning up after multiple murder?" Professor plum asked
"Yes. Why do you think it's run by a man called "Hoover"?" Wadsworth answered

We open the door and head outside where Mrs Peacock had just been arrested
"Take your hands off me! I'm a senator's wife!" Mrs Peacock is yelling
The chief comes over
"Wadsworth, we got her" he said
"You see? Like the Mounties, we always get our man" Wadsworth boasted
"Mrs. Peacock was a man?!" Mr green asked stupidly
Wadsworth and Col. Mustard slapped him
"Would anyone care for fruit or desert? Besides Professor Plum and Miss Rose who already had dessert" Wadsworth asked
