Context
It is the day pf Mrs. McLeavy’s funeral but the house is in chaos. Police Inspector Truscott has taken over the McLeavys’ house, posing as an inspector from the local water board. It seems that Truscott has disconnected both the water and telephone and McLeavy is deeply suspicious about who this man really is. Truscott is barely bothering to continue with his disguise, as he is eager to expose Fay as a serial killer and reveal the truth behind Dennis and Hal’s involvement in the bank robbery.
