Aboard his yacht, Lionel looks on excited as the divers bring up the safe from wreck of the Amanda Lockridge. Elizabeth arrives by motorboat to join him, though Lionel fears someone may see them together. Mason suggests a deal to Peter; he will give him a quarter of his heritage if Peter holds a press conference where he will say that Mason didn't murder Channing Jr. Peter agrees. Under deck Lionel and Elizabeth carefully open the safe and find an old Chinese puzzle box, a cross, some stones and the logbook inside. The logbook shows that the Capwells were probably guilty of sinking the Amanda Lockridge but Elizabeth adds some more lines to make it clearer. She assures Lionel she's such a good forger that even an expert won't be able to see the difference in the writings.
