DI Jack Robinson travels to England from Australia to attend the memorial and is just about to deliver her eulogy when Miss Fisher arrives in her biplane.

Miss Fisher and DI Robinson visit antiquities expert Professor Linnaeus, who explains that the amulet is engraved with the inscription "Crypt of Tears".

Linnaeus explains that legend says that during Alexander the Great's last campaign through Palestine, he suffered a horrible loss and was so bereaved that his very tears created a desert spring, really a tomb.

He also learns that after Templeton's execution, and the supposed disturbance of the tomb, his at the time pregnant widow went into early labor despite there being no complications before then.

Miss Fisher finds a large emerald in a pot in the Sheikh's room which is verified by Professor Linnaeus as being linked to the amulet.

Jonathon reveals that he had accompanied Captain Templeton and Wilson to Shirin's village a decade ago in search of the jewels.

While Shirin's mother, the guardian of the tomb, showed them inside, Captain Templeton went mad and shot and murdered the villagers.

Miss Fisher therefore figures out that the unknown assailant is someone trying to protect Jonathon—whom she identifies as his real father, the Lofthouse's butler, Crippins.

After pretending to shoot a spider to appease Miss Fisher's fears, Jack has a heart-to-heart talk with Phryne about their relationship.

In a mid-credits scene, Phryne receives a letter announcing that her husband, whom she married to help him secure his kingdom (while he was in love with someone else), has been murdered.
