Roffe's board members see an opportunity to settle old scores, jockey for higher position, and reap lucrative profits. However, an investigation into Sam's death discloses that it was a murder and that a power struggle is going on within the company. </p><p>Lead investigator Max Hornung informs Elizabeth of his list of suspects, which includes her closest advisers and financially strapped family members. During this time, she marries CEO Rhys Williams, but he, too, is identified by Hornung as a suspect. As president, Elizabeth follows her father's wishes and refuses to let shares of Roffe & Sons sell on the world market. Her choice prevents the board members from selling their shares as the company's <a href="/wiki/By-law" title="By-law">by-laws</a> prohibit it until all board members agree; on the other hand, her death would allow for a unanimous decision. </p><p>After several attempts on Elizabeth's life, an international chase across Europe ensues. Hornung is able to connect these murder attempts to a series of homicides of prostitutes, which have been recorded on <a href="/wiki/Snuff_film" title="Snuff film">snuff films</a> by using Roffe film stock. He has a witness in a black <a href="/wiki/Gucci" title="Gucci">Gucci</a> leather coat (several suspects are linked to this coat). </p><p>Elizabeth returns to her father's villa in Sardinia during a <a href="/wiki/Sirocco" title="Sirocco">sirocco</a> for protection from the unseen murderer, who sets her house on fire after she begins destroying objects and shouting, "Now try to make it look like an accident!" Rhys and one of the shareholders, Sir Alec Nichols, both show up to save her, but Hornung figures out that Sir Alec is the killer and shoots him dead before he can murder Elizabeth in a symbolic snuff film. As Hornung had previously discovered, Sir Alec, a prominent British politician, was heavily in debt due to his young wife's gambling addiction. Elizabeth ultimately embraces Rhys. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a
