This would also explain the death of that steward,
1:07:32
Lisa's last lover. Maybe he knew something.
1:07:36
Ok, Baumer could still be alive and in circulation
1:07:41
It's a bit of a risky theory, but...
1:07:43
we've got to accept it for now.
1:07:45
So lets analyse this theory.
1:07:47
Kurt Baumer takes out a policy for a million dollars,
1:07:50
payable only in the case of death. Then he gets
1:07:53
someone to take the plane in his name,
1:07:55
perhaps with the steward's complicity,
1:07:57
and he hides a clockwork bomb in the luggage.
1:08:00
Game over.
1:08:01
Lisa comes to Athens and gets the cash,
1:08:03
perhaps with his agreement.
1:08:04
In any case, Kurt had already decided
1:08:06
to get rid of the wife and grab all the cash.
1:08:08
Who would suspect him?
1:08:10
He's legally dead.
1:08:11
But Lara Florakis knew something.
1:08:13
Her and her friend.
1:08:15
Why not get rid of them and of the steward
1:08:17
who seems to have been here to meet someone?
1:08:20
Right. And then to assault Cleo with the sole
1:08:22
motive of giving us the cuff-link?
1:08:25
I don't understand what danger
1:08:26
he could see in Cleo either.
1:08:28
Maybe he just wanted to increase the number
1:08:29
of victims to make us think he really was a maniac.
1:08:31
No, he had another reason.
1:08:35
If Peter hadn't gone back and we'd have found her
1:08:37
dead, we'd have had a miscarriage of justice.
1:08:41
This is the way it is.
1:08:43
The real reason for Cleo's attack was
1:08:45
so that we'd accuse Peter Linch.
1:08:46
And he almost succeeded anyway.
1:08:48
Indeed.
1:08:49
What do you think?
1:08:53
The theory works.
1:08:55
Maybe we can get this man if we let him think
1:08:58
we've fallen into his trap.
