WHO THE F*CK ARE YOU?

***WHO THE F\*CK ARE YOU?*** is the third episode of the second season of *Dead Man's Phone*.

## Synopsis

*A shocking post on social media throws the investigation into chaos.*

## Plot

You and DCI Sutherland interrogate PC Murphy on what happened between him and Bella Rose. He says he asked her out for a drink. Sutherland suspends him from the force but Superintendent Fowler enters and saves him, revealing he is his nephew, taking him out the interviewing room for a debriefing. Anoushka Nair calls you for a comment on the story. You turn your attention back to Gemma Dream’s murder case.

Sutherland finds a replacement for Sutherland, DS Sara Sayar. She suggests sending officers to Gemma’s geoblocked areas - places she blocked from seeing her content. Gemma had geoblocked Edinburgh and Shropshire. Sara arranges for the word to be spread in those areas. Vikram still can’t identify the body.

Sophie has found a leaked Gemma Dream video on PornBox that didn’t come from her AllMyFans, meaning it was leaked by someone who knew her. She sends a link to the video and the comments indicate it was shared by someone called Craig or Earl. Before you can click on any other videos, Sophie disables the page. She does some digging and finds Craig Earl’s Facepage account. He had posted that he recently broke up with his girlfriend Carly Willis, who has the same red hair, mask and dress as Gemma Dream. Sophie finds a recording of a call Carly made to the police saying Craig had shared a private video of her, and it sounds similar to Gemma. You send for Craig Earl to be arrested, and a search warrant for his house. Sara finds ornate shaving razors at his house and they’re given to Forensics.

Craig is interviewed and he isn’t happy, denying knowledge of the whole Gemma Dream thing. You tell him you think Carly is Gemma Dream, but he says he bought her the mask for a laugh, as someone noticed she had the same dress too. Because they had a messy breakup, he shared her private videos at the same time as Gemma’s were leaked for a laugh. He reluctantly reveals he was watching a musical at the time of the murder, as he is a huge Stephen Sondheim fan. It seems Gemma isn’t Carly after all. Vikram tells you the razors are only copies of stage props form the original production of Sweeney Todd. Sophie finds CCTV footage of Craig at the theatre (Magic Goes Wrong to be exact…) and his van’s black box shows he hasn’t been near Hampstead Heath.

Sara reports nothing from the geoblocked areas, apart from the fact AllMyFans CEO Theodore Fox lives in Edinburgh. Just then, a Daily Shout article about harassment at an AllMyFans party pops up, with pictures of Theodore, Gemma and Bella Rose. You ask for both Theodore and Bella to be brought back in, as they lied about never meeting Gemma.

You confront Bella about the article but she refuses to talk to you or Sutherland, especially if you defended Murphy, as she doesn’t trust the police. You ask for Superintendent Fowler or Sara to talk to her instead. She reveals the party was the first time she met Gemma. Gemma wouldn’t talk about herself or take her mask off. She saw Theodore Fox backing Gemma into a corner and stepped in, telling them the taxi was here. He stepped away and let Gemma go. Gemma told Bella later that he groped her and tried to take her mask off. Bella didn’t tell anyone because if word got back to Theodore, he’d suspend her from the platform, her only source of income. If you chose the Superintendent to talk to her, he gives her a formal caution and warns you that progress is too slow. Bella does a livestream afterwards complaining about her treatment.

Meanwhile, Theo is unreachable. Vikram calls you to say he thinks the body isn’t Gemma - their feet sizes don’t match. Just then, a Chirper post from Gemma appears, saying ‘I AM ALIVE’. The virtual phone starts re-syncing, meaning someone is using it. Sophie tries calling it. Someone picks up and when you ask who it is, they say “I’m Gemma Dream, who the fuck are you?”.
