How do you solve an unsolvable puzzle? That’s the case Ludwig is trying to crack in Season 1’s penultimate episode. Ludwig and Carter are called to investigate the apparent suicide of a private school headmaster, Mr. Durose (Christopher Parramore). The case resonates with Ludwig because it’s where he went to school, and his beloved math professor, Mr. Todd (Derek Jacobi), is still on staff. Even Carter doesn’t think it’s an open-and-shut case this time.

Instead, they try to figure out all the moves their opponent has made before.

The third episode of Ludwig starts off with the discovery of a dead body inside a church belonging to Megan (Ella Bruccoleri), a 21-year-old American tour guide who was murdered on the last stop of the Cambridge tour she gives every day.
