[[River Song|Melody Malone]] is new in town and her detective agency is called on to solve an impossible [[murder]]. | ||

== Plot == | == Plot == | ||
''to be | Operating a [[detective]] agency in [[1939]] [[New York City]] with [[Luke Sullieman|Luke]] as her [[secretary]], [[River Song|River]] agrees to take on the case of [[Marty Stone]], who saw himself being [[murder]]ed by a group of people in an [[alley]] and was told by him to remember that it would be a "one-way trip". He hands River a [[coin]] that his other-self gave him, one side of which says "[[Heaven (afterlife)|Heaven]]" whilst the other says "[[Hell]]", and she tells Luke that she suspects that the [[Weeping Angel]]s are involved and responsible for the inexplicable [[temporal instability]] in the city. | ||
Luke goes to investigate the coin and is pointed towards the [[carnival]], where he meets [[Tab Kowalski]] and [[Dean Cray]]. [[Quirke (Carnival of Angels)|Miss Quirke]] has him [[torture]]d for information when she finds out about him enquiring about the tokens and, when hhe briefly takes on the form of a [[Therian]], she invites him to join [[Quirke's Carnival of the Charmed and Strange|her freakshow]]. He refuses and she lets him go, having Dean kill Kowalski with his [[electricity|electrical]] hands. | |||
River takes Marty to [[Coney Island]] and joins him in doing everything that he would usually do. Upon learning of a ride to Heaven or Hell which one can access using tokens hidden in their change, River gets change for a [[dollar]] and finds one, but Marty is scared when they are told that the way to Heaven is a one-way trip and runs away into a [[mirror maze]]. River gives chase, but he is sent back in [[time]] by a [[Weeping Angel]] when he looks away from it to dispose of the token. He is attacked by a group of people and attempts to warn his past self with his dying words. | |||
Luke joins River in the maze and inadvertently stops the Angel by making it look at its reflection. She reasons that the Angel is likely one of a minor order given that it only sent Marty so far back in time, meaning that one of the [[Major Arcana]] is somewhere in the [[carnival]]. | |||
