In a dramatic flourish, she cocks a gun at Oliver's head while Charles, still strapped to the dolly, can only watch. They manage to remove “the duct from the thing,” as Oliver deftly puts it, so that the Arconia doesn't burst into flames, but not before Jan arrives to address her unfinished business. In a feat of astounding strength, Charles caterpillar-crawls his way to the elevator and is eventually reunited with Mabel and Oliver, who cart him in a dolly down to the Arconia's boiler room. (Mabel discovers said poison in Jan's bathroom cabinets, along with the murder weapon, stuffed behind a grate in her wall, and the Dimases' emerald ring in a drawer.) As Charles stumbles and slurs his way to the floor, Jan monologues, in typical villain style, about how she got away with it: She poisoned Tim, put the gun in his hand and pulled the trigger, stabbed herself, etc., etc., and now she's funneling gas into the building so she can set it all on fire. The trouble is, just as Charles turns on her and reveals his suspicions, she fires back with a real zinger: Not the drinks, but the handkerchief Charles used, is laced with poison. She attempts to explain everything with the help of some cocktails. When she knocks on his door, Charles answers. Concerned they're on their own, Mabel and Oliver search Jan's (currently unoccupied) apartment while Charles sorts through the little clues in his apartment, including Jan's handwritten notes. If she lied about a little thing like that, what other secrets might she be keeping? Oliver and Mabel break the news of Jan's murderous tendencies, uh, less than gracefully, and Charles seemingly chooses not to believe them. His nose is still bleeding-a sign of his anxiety-because he's learned she lied to him she wasn't, in fact, the first chair bassoonist.
He and Mabel rush up to Charles's apartment to tell him the news, but the former Brazzos actor has only just returned from watching Jan in concert. “What a terrific goddamn finale this is going to be,” Oliver quips. But we also learn a tidbit we'd merely suspected: Tim and Charles's girlfriend, the bassoonist Jan (Amy Ryan), had a fiery fling. Next we get a quick recap of what we already know: Tim saw Theo Dimas push his friend Zoe off the roof of the Arconia, he was sworn to silence by Teddy Dimas in order to protect Mabel, and he sought to crush their corrupt jewelry business by doing a little undercover detective work. He describes the seconds leading up to this death, during which he waltzed onto an elevator shared by Oliver, Charles, and Mabel, and carried a garbage bag to the trash chute. We start with narration from Tim Kono himself.
The episode opens with a revelation but closes with a tactful cliffhanger.
Finale 2014 full crack crack#
If you've been enjoying the show, which follows fellow Arconians Oliver (Martin Short), Charles (Steve Martin), and Mabel (Selena Gomez) as they attempt to crack open the case of Tim Kono's sudden demise in their apartment building, then you know episode 10, “Open and Shut,” is a misnomer. But let's trace our way back to that salient point.
