Mission 4 Explanation Needed - Spoilers Ahead

||||| This contains spoilers for mission 4 |||||


So I understand that Sasha used Harvey and Jeff to kill Emily and that Larry received the call to move the blocking so that Sasha could be killed, but why is Four Eyes the ghost texter? It seemed like he called Larry, but then proceeded to go to the control room to get his phone he forgot. And if he had his phone, why didn't Slim's call go through?

[Pupumestari]

Yes, the last point bothered me the most. Slim called him and the line was busy, yet Four Eyes didn't talk during that time, neither did his phone ring anywhere else...

[Ninja Detective]

At the 3:18 timestamp, using the "Emily Phone," Four Eyes sends a text to Harvey telling him to call. Harvey calls the phone allowing Four Eyes to listen in on his conversation with Sasha.

At 5:27, while in the room with Jeff (and just as Sasha has walked in), Four Eyes calls Larry using the "Emily Phone" and leaves on the chair as he leaves. This allows Larry to overhear the conversation between Sasha and Jeff.

At 8:07, Four Eyes meets with Larry on the stage. Having just overheard Jeff and Sasha's conversation, Larry has not yet hung up the phone. Jeff does not overhear the conversation between Larry and Four Eyes as he is a few feet away from the "Emily Phone," in addition to there being a lot of ambient noise in the Tech Room.

At 8:57, Four Eyes retrieves the "Emily Phone." When Slim and Harvey try to call the "Emily Phone" it is still connected to Larry's phone, so the call does not go through.

Thanks a lot. Now everything makes perfect sense.

[TheCh3mist]

Agreed. Appreciate the clarification.

[Moojuice]

Wow, that explains everything. They should have made it more obvious that Four Eyes placed the phone.

I don't get third question about following. I think is wrong written.

Only Harvey recieved detailed "text instructions" from Ghost, not Larry! He also followed those instructions being unawere about accident.
Larry like others recieved message "killer will be killed", but this is no detailed text instructions, but only thread.
Larry simply overheard Jeff and Sasha talk, so:
- this is not TEXT instructions.
- this is NOT even VOICE of Ghost

C.Dome really followed those message thread and think this is reason to kill Sasha. Whats more, this question not precise about assasination results.

In that case, closer answers are C.Dome and Harvey, not Larry.

Third question in wrong written. Or let someone expain it to me.

It is ambiguously worded, as it seems to suggest somebody got a detailed step-by-step set of instructions on what to do. But nothing suggests C.Dome was getting detailed instruction either. He and Leo were clearly winging it. I suspect it might be a bit of a mistranslation?

So in context, I thought it was pretty clear what was meant by that third question, i.e. "who killed Sasha". And that is clearly Larry after overhearing what amounts to Sasha and Jeff's confession (along with a convenient suggestion to move the marks on the stage from Jeff).

Bit of an old thread but I have to agree with what's been said. The wording of the question suggests that someone followed instructions to kill Sasha. While no specific instructions were given it could be inferred that the wording "killers must die" is an instruction to kill Sasha. The only one who took that to it's logical conclusion was C. Dome. He reached out to professionals to make sure she died based solely on the fact that he believed the text asked for her death. Leo went along with the idea but was clearly not the main driver for the attempt.

Four Eyes was the one sending the texts, this can be determined by paying attention to where he and/or Emily's phone were when certain events happened. He sent a text from the stage to Harvey asking him to call back so he could hear the discussion with Sasha. If you listen closely you can time the phone ringing and the buzz that is the sound of a conversation on the other end of the phone. He also called Larry from the operations room just before leaving his phone there during Sasha and Jeff's conversation. Larry overheard their discussion and *on his own merit* decided to move the stage blocking so that Sasha would in fact be below the house when it dropped instead of behind it as expected. HE RECEIVED NO INSTRUCTIONS from Four Eyes to kill her, simply deciding to get revenge for the original murder.

Even if the question was who killed Sasha the answer can easily be multiple people. Four Eyes orchestrated the whole thing, clearly pitting the rest of the group against her with these calls and texts. This is at the very least an attempt to cause her trouble but more likely to lead to her death. He is arguably the one most responsible for her death.
Jeff sabotaged the rope holding the house up. While it was not directly responsible for her death it was at least tampering and may have caused the house to be more dangerous. He is not exactly responsible, but at least involved.
Larry deliberately moved the stage blocking, this is the most direct cause of her demise and it was his actions that did kill her, but while he did it of his own accord it was only after he overheard the conversation about Emily's death. He only heard this because Four Eyes set it up so that he could overhear.
Whoever dropped the house. Most likely this was Four Eyes since he did it during the rehearsal, but I don't think there is a way to know for sure. Larry also could have been the one to drop the house. Either way whoever did it is responsible for her death as well since that was the actual murder. If I remember right Four Eyes was the calmest of the group asking what had happened so either he wasn't watching or he knew that she was a goner. Adding to this the fact that he was the one who had been driving the ghost texts it would be a fair assumption that he wanted to be the one to do the deed but he needed help making it happen. With Larry moving the blocking then he can comfortably drop the proverbial hammer and claim innocence.
