![]() This scene is intercut with shots of Sid driving madly to the Lyman estate to rescue Sondra, ultimately ending in a car crash.Īfter his confession, Lyman throws Sondra into the lake and watches her go under. He would kill Sid later no one would connect an obscure stage magician's death to that of a clumsy journalism student. Lyman comments on the irony that he first met Sondra by saving her from drowning, and now she really would drown. Meanwhile, in a rowboat on Lyman's lake, Lyman confesses to Sondra that he killed Gibson to stop her from blackmailing him and used the Tarot Card pattern to allay suspicion, just as Strombel had told Sid. Sid breaks into Lyman's vault again, this time finding a mysterious key, which turns out to be to Betty Gibson's flat. Unbeknownst to her, Lyman is listening in on another extension. When Sid calls Sondra with his findings, she waves them off. Gibson is described as a "baby-faced blonde" (just like Sondra) before Lyman convinced her to dye her hair, presumably to match the profile of the other Tarot victims. He finds that Lyman did frequent a prostitute, Betty Gibson, who was later killed, apparently by the Tarot Card Killer. While Sondra and Lyman vacation in the country, Sid continues to investigate this theory. Later, Sid (at Strombel's urging) suggests that Lyman used the Tarot Card murders to cover up a murder he committed. They plan to spend the weekend at Lyman's isolated country estate. Lyman is surprisingly gracious, and tells Sondra he wants to keep seeing her. Sondra, relieved that her suspicions were for naught, reveals her real name and the deception she and Sid had practiced. Soon the police arrest the real Tarot Card Killer. Throughout their investigation, Sid and Sondra have a relationship that is in turns friendly, paternal, and antagonistic-fueled largely by Sondra's annoyance that her smooth "Jade Spence" charade is being compromised by Sid's obnoxious attempts to act the part of a nouveau riche oil baron. Sid finally prevails upon Sondra to write a news story implicating Lyman, but the newspaper editor rejects the story because of Sondra's lack of proof. Sid meanwhile becomes less sanguine about Lyman as he notices more and more inconsistencies, especially after Sondra finds a Tarot deck hidden under a French horn in Peter's vault, a climate-controlled music room containing expensive antique musical instruments. Sondra gradually falls in love with Lyman and begins to trust him. Sondra is convinced Lyman is the murderer, but Sid finds it hard to believe. While Sid poses as her father, "Jade" begins dating Lyman. When he rescues her, she introduces herself as Jade Spence, daughter of a wealthy oil family from Palm Beach. Sondra catches Lyman's attention by pretending to drown near him at an exclusive club's swimming pool. Sondra decides to infiltrate Lyman's privileged world to find out if he truly is the dreaded criminal, enlisting Sid in the process and taking advantage of his powers of deception. The ghost has escaped the Grim Reaper himself to impart his suspicions of Lyman to a journalist who can investigate the story. While in a booth known as The Dematerializer, Pransky encounters Strombel's ghost. Pransky attends a performance given by magician Sid Waterman, aka "The Great Splendini", and agrees to participate onstage. Sondra Pransky is a beautiful but awkward American journalism student on vacation in London. The Tarot Card Killer left a card on each murder victim's body. ![]() #Dating lyman scopes serial#Jane tells Strombel she thinks Lyman, a handsome British aristocrat with political ambitions, may be the Tarot Card Killer, a notorious serial killer of prostitutes, and that he killed her when she stumbled onto his secret. Following the memorial service for investigative reporter Joe Strombel, Strombel's spirit finds himself on the barge of death with several others, including a young woman named Jane Cook who believes she was poisoned by her employer, Peter Lyman. ![]()
