JULES TOUSSAINT: Previously, on Death and Other Details…
[screaming]
RUFUS COTESWORTH: A man has been murdered on this ship.
Killer is among us.
Interpol is here.
Agent Hilde Eriksen.
RUFUS: She is focused on the missing security footage.
She believes the killer entered during those seven minutes and 23 seconds.
So, it’s a race.
We have to figure out who killed Danny before she places me at the crime scene.
I will run a background check on every member of the crew.
Llewellyn, where are you? Pick up, pick up, pick up.
IMOGENE: Wait, he’s still missing? [muffled yelling]
Mr. Toussaint was supposed to be on duty that night, but never clocked in.
I fell ill.
AGENT ERIKSEN: We must search Mr. Toussaint’s room.
Oh, fuck.
There are billions on the line in the deal
between the Colliers and the Chuns.
Have to open the books for that, expose their corporate secrets.
And their connection to Viktor Sams.
The man who killed my mom.
[explosion blasts]
Mrs. Chun, please, come back to the table.
You have 24 hours.
I thought we were meeting with the whole family.
Nope, just me.
Hey, you with Leila?

Seagulls are a bit much.
Maybe lose those and pump up the wake behind the boat by about 50%.

It’s a sales tool. We sell the feeling, not reality.

SUNIL: No, Teddy, you’re not hearing me.
They want the whole ship, no other guests.

Is that the new iPhone? Yeah.

Took about three and a half years to get her back into fightin’ shape.
We sail again next month from Morocco.
Morocco, huh?
Never been.
You must have real security to keep a ship like that safe.
[Sunil smacks lips]
Yeah, it’s funny you mention it, my, uh… head of security just up and quit.
An incompetent? Or you’re a cruel boss? [Sunil chuckles]
I mean, why can’t it be both?
The ship is my…
All you can think about.
You want everything so perfect.
And it’s hard to find someone to take work off your plate
without ruining your vision.
RUFUS: Most people believe they are experts at bullshit.
At spotting it. At selling it.
You wouldn’t happen to know anyone looking for a gig, would you?
I could ask around.
RUFUS: They are wrong… I should know.
I have made millions seeing through your bullshit.
And I spent it all,
knowing there was more where that came from.
In the end… this too,
was bullshit.
He played me.
Classic gambit.
My guess? Those thugs were hired players… in a drama
cooked up for a private audience.
How did we not find this in the background check?
With enough technical prowess, anyone can avoid those triggers.
This is the world now.
Jules can be whoever he wants to be,
half a dozen keystrokes away from a new life.
Yes, is he a killer?
Some people project their hidden thoughts
no matter how badly they try to hide them.
Others, do not even bother to hide their true selves.
A select few have perfect control over their emotions.
Jules is that type.
I do not know what he is capable of.
Hm. He is on the run.
I would like to know precisely why.
♪
AGENT ERIKSEN: Attention, everyone.
I know he was your boss, and in some cases, a friend,
but Jules Toussaint, AKA Javier Deleone,
AKA, oh, I don’t know, there are a bunch of them.
He was not what he appeared to be.
He is wanted in three countries.
Robbery, assault, wire fraud,
a career criminal with a violent past.
I believe he destroyed video evidence of his crime,
and is now on the run for murder.
Turn this ship inside out.
As in, right now!

Sharp, like metal?
Tak. Yes.

You said metal, not her.
It is true, you did.
But it makes sense. The harpoon gun.
Make sense to you, but your memory of events
cannot color your witness’s.
But you told me to lead her there.
RUFUS: To prompt her.
But if you mold Yeva’s memory, then your memory becomes hers,

We’re good. IMOGENE: Wait. Stop!
Stop, they’re sending men to the wet dock.
Interpol knows about them. We need a new plan.
That’s the only way off. There is no new plan.
