00:00These killer heels are definitely something to twist and shout about.
00:08Boho, the only way to go-go.
00:16People cannot wait to get their hands on these boots.
00:20Then you mean their feet?
00:21Exactly.
00:22You'll be in next week's edition.
00:25He'll be wrapped around a fish supper come Friday.
00:27Coolest kicks in town.
00:30Made right here in our town.
00:34You can have that one.
00:36And did you say the launch is being brought forward since Saturday?
00:39Saturday.
00:40By popular demand.
00:42Much obliged, Mr Millington.
00:44Cheerio, ladies.
00:45Bye.
00:46Right, let's get these machines humming and make some beautiful music together.
00:51I thought we made boots.
00:53With staff numbers already down, we'll never get it finished by Saturday unless you're going to pay us overtime.
00:58Yeah, we'll have to pull double shifts.
01:00I'm afraid factory finances are rather tight at the moment, ladies.
01:05Meaning?
01:05Meaning I'm very much relying on your goodwill to get this order out on time.
01:11So you want us to work extra hours for no extra pay?
01:14Well, we don't want to see the factory go under, do we?
01:17What?
01:17The rather brutal fact is we pull together or you could all be out of a job.
01:57Have you seen this?
02:02Boho boots.
02:04They're to die for.
02:06Not that I can afford them on my wages.
02:09They don't look very comfortable.
02:11They're rather daring.
02:13Yeah, I had a pair of heels like that once.
02:16Nearly broke my neck running for the bus after a night of passion.
02:20It was a nightclub.
02:22Anyway, never mind the boots.
02:24I sniff a business opportunity.
02:26Reckon we can sell our vino at the launch party?
02:29Mr. Millington's using this bit while you're after work.
02:32You could ask him.
02:34We should be getting paid for this extra work.
02:42I'm talking to the union.
02:43You heard Mr. Millington.
02:45We don't get these boots ready on time.
02:47We could be out of the job.
02:49Ladies, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this.
02:55Oh, Uncle Arthur.
02:57Sorry, Mr. Millington.
02:58The women are grumbling about the additional hours.
03:02Dermot, the thing you have to understand about women is how much they love to complain.
03:06Well, you just don't know how to handle them.
03:09Turn on the child.
03:10Mr. Millington.
03:12Ah, the lovely Bernice.
03:14I was wondering.
03:15Well, wonder no more.
03:16I'm sure Dermot will be able to help.
03:19Show on Dermot.
03:20She can muster any.
03:21Hello, girls.
03:23Ah!
03:23Look, I can't see you at age here.
03:26Oh.
03:28Pamela, to what do we owe the pleasure?
03:30Had a girl pop by to see her favourite uncle.
03:32She can.
03:34But I bet she's after something.
03:36You know me so well.
03:38Just give me half an hour.
03:40Pamela, my dear, I've got a couple of things to go on top of.
03:44We have a big order to finish.
03:46I can see that.
03:47Stick the kettle on there.
03:48I'll wait.
03:53Interesting.
04:12Snowball?
04:13No, just a small one.
04:14We're here on convent business, remember?
04:17I don't understand the force.
04:19They're just boots.
04:21They're both headings.
04:22I thought they were go-go boots.
04:25The boho boot is the go-go boot.
04:31Apparently, yeah.
04:33They look great on you, Peggy.
04:35Thanks.
04:38So, how's your arty-farty stuff going?
04:41I am getting my portfolio together.
04:44Much to Uncle Arthur's disgust.
04:46There's no money in art.
04:48No money in footwear, either.
04:49I've got calluses on calluses with these sewing machines.
04:52Moan, moan, moan.
04:54You don't hear the men complaining about the extra work.
04:57They're just glad of the extra cash.
04:59Shh.
05:00Extra cash?
05:03Oi, Derek.
05:06Here, are you getting paid overtime?
05:08You and your big mouth, you're a liability.
05:12Arthur!
05:13Oh, hello, Hector.
05:14Now, you promised me some end-of-line sandals for my theatricals.
05:20I'm doing one of the Greeks.
05:23What's this?
05:24Vera, do you fancy a bit of Lysistrata?
05:28No poet's wiser than Euripides.
05:32As he says,
05:34no beast exists so shameless as womenkind.
05:39Bravo!
05:49Are you having a drink, Daisy?
05:50Oh, no, I'm here to clean.
05:52I'm moonlighting.
05:56Oh, I would have thought spirits are more on your line.
05:58Holy spirits.
06:00Good one.
06:00Yeah, bring a bottle to the factory tomorrow.
06:03We'll talk.
06:19Hey, Rowley.
06:21Have you got a second, second job?
06:23Who needs must?
06:24Who needs shouldn't?
06:25Wait till I tell you what I found out.
06:27Uh, chop, chop, Mrs. Mopp.
06:29I need you on those machines when the clock strikes eight.
06:31Knock, knock.
06:32Boss in.
06:33Raw, Miss Snifter.
06:34He's in his office, but he doesn't like to be disturbed before nine.
06:36Oh, well, he's happening in half an hour.
06:39Um, no, no.
06:42Never too early for a vein.
06:45Oh.
06:45Lacerations and swelling suggest a blow to the head.
07:00Perhaps it was a robbery gone wrong.
07:02The money's still in the petty cash team,
07:04but perhaps Mr. Millington disturbed the burglar.
07:07Or the burglar disturbed him.
07:10Looks like he slept here last night.
07:12Blood on the corner.
07:20Hmm.
07:22Well, from the position of the body,
07:23I'd say that he hit his head as he fell.
07:26So an accident?
07:29No, I don't think so.
07:32Best open a window.
07:33Bitter almonds.
07:35Cyanide.
07:36Cyanide.
07:36There's a coffee pot here and a half-drunk cup.
07:45Oh, yes, splendid.
07:46I'll take them for testing.
07:51Somebody's being naughty.
07:52And this hair doesn't appear to be Arthur's.
08:09Sister, I'm of death.
08:13Well, no rigor mortis.
08:16Body's still warm.
08:17Can't have been more than a couple of hours ago.
08:19Sister Reg said there were some workers here when she arrived.
08:23They're out there.
08:25Is this horrible?
08:26We have to open as normal.
08:27The launch is on Saturday.
08:29Not being funny, Demma,
08:30but you could look a little bit more groastry.
08:34I feel sick.
08:38Did any of you see or speak to Mr. Millington this morning?
08:42He was in his office all night working on the launch.
08:45Nobody goes in there on pain of death.
08:47Or sack him.
08:47We wouldn't dare.
08:54Hello.
08:56Who's left that greasy mark here?
09:02There's another one here.
09:04What is it?
09:09Financial records.
09:11Sister,
09:11Someone's been lighting a fire in here recently.
09:15In the heat of summer.
09:17Well,
09:18albeit
09:18British
09:19summer.
09:26Oh, yes.
09:28Someone's been burning paper.
09:30But why?
09:31I salvaged as many fragments as I could.
09:37Why the hair locker?
09:39Perhaps the fragments have a hot day.
09:43I need to stabilize their structural integrity before I can examine them.
09:47I'm running tests on the greasy smudges as well.
09:49Okay, what about the cyanide?
09:51Oh, most peculiar.
09:53Sample from the coffee cup and pot.
09:56When I add a mixture of iron sulfate, caustic soda and distilled water.
10:00Huh?
10:02This is usually the point you say bingo.
10:05If any cyanide were present, the liquid would turn bright blue.
10:10So it wasn't cyanide that killed him?
10:12But the smell of bitter almonds was unmistakable.
10:15The cyanide acts quickly.
10:17He must have ingested it this morning.
10:19But there isn't any sign that he ate or drank anything else.
10:21And here's another interesting thing.
10:24The hairs that I found on the floor aren't human.
10:31It's uniseriated.
10:33The shaft looks like a tiny ladder.
10:37Animal hair.
10:39Cat? Dog?
10:40No.
10:41The texture would be smooth if it were a dog.
10:43Spiculated.
10:44Spiky if it were a cat.
10:46This is coarse.
10:47Probably horse hair.
10:49Uncle Arthur turned the stables into a garage years ago.
10:55No pets at all.
10:57Dermot and I weren't allowed so much as a goldfish growing up.
11:01We were more than enough to look after, apparently.
11:04You were raised by your uncle.
11:07Our parents were on a ship sunk by a U-boat.
11:11Uncle Arthur inherited us.
11:19These bristles are horse hair.
11:22Ah.
11:23So when were you in Arthur's office?
11:26I thought no one entered on pain of death.
11:28Oh.
11:29Well.
11:37Look.
11:39The boho boot design.
11:41I barged in on Uncle Arthur yesterday afternoon to have a go at him.
11:49You stole my design!
12:00You should be flattered.
12:02I thought I'm good enough.
12:02I'm not flattered.
12:04I'm furious.
12:06Look.
12:08Don't kick up a foot about your precious doodle and I'll pay for that fancy art school you're always banging on about.
12:15How's that?
12:18We made a deal.
12:19Still, he took your designs without asking.
12:22That must have made you angry.
12:24Are you all right?
12:26You look very flushed.
12:29My uncle has just died.
12:31I've got to kill someone over a stolen doodle.
12:41Besides, you said he died at the factory this morning.
12:45I was at home until Dermot rang with the news.
12:48Ask the housekeeper.
12:49No, no, the boot launch is full steam ahead.
12:59No.
13:00No, no, no.
13:01The police are looking into it.
13:03I've got none on the case.
13:06No.
13:07Miss Marple in a wimple.
13:09Solving crime through the power of prayer.
13:10No, I know.
13:15I know.
13:17All right.
13:18Well, I'll see you on Saturday.
13:20All right.
13:22Excuse me, darn it.
13:23Mr. Millington, do you?
13:25No.
13:28Mr. Millington.
13:31I know you must be upset about your uncle.
13:33I'd be more upset if those boots don't get finished.
13:36About that.
13:38The men at the warehouse were promised overtime pay?
13:42Yes.
13:45Well, those lads work hard.
13:47You can't begrudge them.
13:49The women work hard.
13:52What's sewing?
13:52Look, just finish those boots or I'll end your employment.
14:02I'm in charge now, love.
14:08We'll see about that.
14:10The smudge on the file is some sort of emollient.
14:13My first thought was hand cream, possibly face cream.
14:16But when he added iron chloride...
14:19The emollient contains lactic acid.
14:30To remove dry skin.
14:32It's most likely foot cream.
14:34For bunions.
14:38Bunions.
14:40And calluses.
14:46Dermot needs us as much as we need our children.
14:50I need every penny I can get.
14:52Um, why aren't you lot working?
14:55You lie to us.
14:57This place isn't going under.
14:58It's booming.
14:59You just didn't want to pay us any extra.
15:02Oh, the men are getting overtime, though.
15:04And they already get twice what we do.
15:06Well, of course the men get paid more.
15:08They're the breadwinners.
15:10Most of you lot are just here for some pocket money.
15:13Chance to get out of the vacuuming.
15:17All right, ladies.
15:18Let's see how he manages to organise a boot launch without any boots.
15:23What?
15:24You wet.
15:25I'm calling a strike.
15:27Yeah!
15:28Someone get Norman at the bugle.
15:29I really can't afford...
15:31Time of the month, is it, girls?
15:33Look, just get back to work before I sack the lot of you.
15:37Daisy.
15:38I can't.
15:40Bernice.
15:40Can we have a word, please?
15:47So, it's foot cream, but you use it on your hands.
15:50So?
15:51It's good for callers.
15:52Well, you left traces of it when you went through the account.
15:56All right.
15:57I came back here last night to take a sneak peek at a book's.
16:02Mr. Millington said the factory was going bust, but not according to the account.
16:19He was raking it in.
16:20A blinky liability.
16:22What could you tell me about this going on?
16:24So, perhaps you thought a change of management was an order.
16:30Maybe you thought his nephew would be a better boss.
16:32Dermot?
16:33He's worse than his uncle.
16:35He's obnoxious and incompetent.
16:37Couldn't run an egg and spoon race.
16:39Look, if you're looking for someone with a motive, look at him.
16:42Because he called his nephew a liability.
16:45Last night, Mr. Millington was shouting about how he would never leave his beloved factory to Dermot.
16:51Not even if he was the last man in great slaughter.
16:54I'm the closest thing he had to a son.
17:00So you stand to inherit everything?
17:03Yes, his uncle was a dry-hand man.
17:06Unless your uncle didn't think he were capable.
17:09You know, perhaps he was going to change his will and leave everything to Pamela.
17:14He wouldn't leave his precious factory to a girl.
17:18Look, I hope you're not accusing me of murder.
17:22My uncle was very good friends with your boss.
17:25We're not accusing you of anything yet.
17:28But don't go anywhere.
17:33Of course I'm not going to go anywhere, am I?
17:34I've got this blasted boot launch to sort.
17:38Denise has got all my machinists out on strike.
17:40What do we want?
17:45Therapy!
17:46When do we want it?
17:47Now!
17:48What do we want?
17:49Therapy!
17:50When do we want it?
17:51Now!
17:51It was you, wasn't it?
17:52Telling tales to the police.
17:54And you were here snooping around last night.
17:56So?
17:57Is that when you poisoned my uncle?
17:59Me?
18:00I'm not the one inheriting this factory.
18:03Consider yourself fired.
18:04You can't sack me.
18:06I'm on strike!
18:06What do we want?
18:08Therapy!
18:08When do we want it?
18:09Now!
18:10Can I get a coin for the paper?
18:12What do you think your uncle would have to say about all this?
18:14His uncle would never have allowed it to happen.
18:17Chief Constable, thank goodness.
18:18Bernice McDowell is who you're after.
18:20Well, I'm not here on official business.
18:22I'm here because Arthur was, um...
18:24Well, he was a very good friend of mine,
18:26and I've brought Vera along to try and talk some sense into this lot.
18:30Woman to woman, as it were.
18:31Um, uh, Mrs. Clouds.
18:33Brilliant.
18:34When do we want it?
18:35Now!
18:36What do we want?
18:37Therapy!
18:37I worked in this factory here during the First War,
18:40making boots for soldiers.
18:42No ho-ho boots in those days, not with the war on.
18:47What do we want?
18:48You ought to be ashamed of yourself, young lady,
18:51taking advantage of this gentleman's grief.
18:53Grief?
18:55The only thing he's mourning is his profit margins.
18:58Some of these women are struggling.
19:00Struggle?
19:00Oh, ha!
19:01You wouldn't know the meaning of the word.
19:03Getting through two wars, that was a struggle.
19:06You tell them, Vera.
19:07We were prepared to make a sacrifice for the greater good in those days.
19:12Ten hours a day I worked in that factory.
19:15And proved you were every bit as good as the men.
19:17Exactly.
19:18You're my hero.
19:21Oh?
19:22Am I?
19:23But you were earning a fraction of what the men in the factory were getting
19:26for doing the exact same job.
19:30I...
19:30Well, I hadn't.
19:33Was I?
19:34And we've barely seen a pay rise since.
19:37Unlike the men.
19:38Why should the women earn less?
19:45Because...
19:46They're women.
19:47It's only a bit of sewing.
19:50Ah, bishops.
19:52Show them your hands.
19:55Red raw from machine work.
19:57Oh, I remember those calluses like they were yesterday.
20:00Oh, calluses?
20:01The men were out on the front line, risking their lives.
20:10Dottie lost her mother to a stray bomb.
20:13I know women who crawled out from under rubble to get to work
20:17so that you could have boots to march in.
20:25What do we want?
20:26Very okay.
20:27When do we want it?
20:29Now!
20:30What do we want?
20:31Okay!
20:32When do we want it?
20:33Now!
20:34They're refusing to work until Mr Millington negotiates.
20:37How exciting.
20:39Good for them.
20:40Yeah.
20:41Although not so good for us.
20:42If that launch doesn't go ahead,
20:44that's 12 cases of wine we're lumbered with.
20:47Sisterhood solidarity.
20:48We could organise food and collections in the morning.
20:51Maybe I could arrange a sing-song on the picket line.
20:55Raise everyone's spirits.
20:56A rousing chorus of kumbaya, perhaps.
21:01What do we want?
21:03What do we want?
21:04What do we want?
21:05みんな!
21:05Fairer pay!
21:06What do we want it?
21:07Now!
21:08What do we want?
21:09Spare a pay!
21:09When do we want it? Now!
21:11What do we want? They're okay!
21:13When do we want it? Now!
21:15The three of you don't even work here.
21:17When do we want it? Now!
21:19I'm only going in to clean.
21:21You're still breaking the picket line.
21:23I'm sorry, I need the money.
21:29Right, if I could get everyone's attention.
21:33I'm prepared to make you an offer.
21:35If you will agree to stop all of this nonsense,
21:39get back to work,
21:41then I will generously
21:43make sure that every woman
21:45gets a free pair of Boho Go-Go boots.
21:51Damn it!
21:53Boo!
21:55You can shove your boho boots up!
21:59Morning.
22:01Is it morning?
22:03Oh, goodness.
22:05T'was the lark, not the nightingale after all.
22:11Romeo and Juliet.
22:13I...
22:15Mrs. Clannan woke up at the crack of dawn
22:17to get to the picket line.
22:19Yeah, we had to make breakfast on our own.
22:21Ah, turns out, Felix is a whiz
22:23with a poached egg.
22:25The secret is a little dash of vinegar.
22:27Whereas I have finally stabilized
22:29the fragments of paper that we found
22:31in Arthur's fireplace.
22:33I'll need a little longer to examine them
22:35under the microscope.
22:37Um, in the meantime, something curious.
22:39There are no fingerprints on this at all.
22:41None? Not even Arthur Millington's?
22:43None. Suggesting it was wiped clean deliberately,
22:47which seems a little like an overkill,
22:49if you'll pardon my vernacular.
22:51Since whoever opened the tin was wearing gloves.
22:53How do you know that?
22:55Well, because...
22:57they caught their glove in the hinge.
23:01They left a piece behind.
23:07Wait, that...
23:09that looks like...
23:10Rubber.
23:11Yeah.
23:12So who at the factory has rubber gloves?
23:15I'm not a thief.
23:17But you were caught with your hand in the till.
23:19Or tin, rather.
23:21There.
23:22The missing piece of your glove
23:24that we found in the petty cash tin.
23:26Look.
23:28We know no one who was taken out of that.
23:31Did Arthur catch you in the act?
23:38M...
23:39My husband left me.
23:41Just over a month ago.
23:44Found out he hadn't been paying the rent
23:48or the bills.
23:49He'd been taking my wages, too.
23:52Spending them on God knows what.
23:55Sorry, sister.
23:57And then, the night before last,
24:01the landlord come banging on the door,
24:03threatening eviction.
24:05So you thought you'd help yourself the petty cash?
24:10Mr Millington is usually in his office when I get here.
24:14I was getting stuff out the cleaning cupboard by his office
24:16when I saw him pop out to use the lavatory.
24:19I knew he kept the petty cash tin in his office.
24:30And then I thought...
24:32I should have gloves on.
24:34What the hell do you think you're doing?
24:50It was a moment of madness.
24:52He said he was going to speak to me at the end of the day.
24:53And why were you afraid he was going to go to the police?
24:55I don't know. I was more worried he'd sack me.
24:56But if you killed him, no one would know that you'd been sacked.
25:00I didn't kill him.
25:02I didn't kill him.
25:03I've got three kids to look after.
25:05I'm not going to abandon them like their dad did.
25:06That's why I can't go on strike.
25:07How would I feed him?
25:08Now all my friends hate me.
25:10If they're your friends, I suspect they'll understand.
25:13I don't know.
25:14I don't know.
25:15I was more worried he'd sack me.
25:16But if you killed him, no one would know that you'd been sacked.
25:18I didn't kill him.
25:19I've got three kids to look after.
25:20I'm not going to abandon them like their dad did.
25:22That's why I can't go on strike.
25:25How would I feed him?
25:27Now all my friends hate me.
25:30If they're your friends, I suspect they'll understand.
25:34What do we want?
25:35Fairies!
25:36When do we want it?
25:37Now!
25:38What do we want?
25:39Fairies!
25:40When do we want it?
25:41Now!
25:42What do we want?
25:43Fairies!
25:44When do we want it?
25:45Now!
25:46So we still don't know how, when or where Arthur was poisoned.
25:49Now!
25:50What do we want?
25:51Fairies!
25:52When do we want it?
25:53Now!
25:54What have you done now?
25:59I borrowed some machinists from Gemfords.
26:02I had to pay a chunk of the privilege.
26:04You see?
26:05Nobody's irreplaceable.
26:06You could have used that money to pay your own workers the overtime.
26:10You're as bad as Uncle Arthur!
26:13Pam!
26:15Here's a headline for you.
26:18Emotional women throw toys out of pram.
26:21I'll use that.
26:22Emotional?
26:23Emotional?
26:24Not you, Peggy.
26:25I'm sure your emotions are well under control.
26:28Excuse me!
26:29Ladies who've just got off the bus, we are on strike because groovy shoe do not pay a fair wage to women.
26:47Ladies, we are worth as much as the men.
26:51We'll work more than most!
26:53We deserve to be taken seriously!
26:56Yes!
26:57We deserve to be paid what we're worth!
27:00Silly old bat!
27:03What did you call me?
27:06Mr. Millington looks like he's about to face the firing squad.
27:10Please!
27:11Please!
27:12Please have mercy!
27:13I'll give you anything you want!
27:14Ready!
27:15Aim!
27:16Fire!
27:17Oh dear!
27:18You don't even work here!
27:19I stand in solidarity!
27:20And I call on all women to stand in solidarity in a gentle way!
27:25women's strike!
27:26What?
27:27I hear my call on every woman in great slaughter to down tools!
27:32Oh, let's see how emotional the men get when nobody cooks their teeth in!
27:35And I call on every woman in great slaughter to down tools!
27:40Oh, let's see how emotional the men get when nobody cooks their teeth, washes their clothes,
27:57knocks after the children!
27:59Let's see how well great slaughter functions without women!
28:05You can use that one, Lauren.
28:06Oh, come off it, Vera!
28:09And!
28:10I looked up that play you've chosen for G-sads!
28:13Thy sister!
28:14Absolute filth!
28:17Gracious!
28:18What's the play about?
28:20Well, it's about a group of women who go on a strike to stop a war.
28:26It's a comedy.
28:28Sounds like a tragedy to me.
28:30We shall not, we shall not be moved!
28:33We shall not, we shall not be moved!
28:37We shall not, we shall not be moved!
28:40We shall not be moved!
28:42Let's go!
28:43Then we shall not be moved!
28:52Ah!
28:53Great slaughter to the standstill!
28:55All the women are striking.
28:56Yeah, everywhere you go, just confused looking men!
28:59Confused-looking men.
29:01We were worried that you two might join the protest.
29:03I thought about it.
29:06Why?
29:07WPCs get paid less than PCs.
29:09Yeah, but that's because you're on a different pay scale.
29:12Exactly.
29:13Which isn't a quality.
29:18It seems to have run if I have to find something.
29:20Oh, that's right.
29:21I've managed to piece together parts of the document.
29:25Used a light box to take away some of the charring.
29:27It appears to be a scientific study on acetonitrile.
29:31In particular, it's toxicity.
29:33Toxicity?
29:34It can be used to assist in the manufacture of...
29:43Come along.
29:55Aha!
29:57What is it, sister?
29:59A murder weapon.
30:00Acetonitrile.
30:01Well, they must use it to help make the boots.
30:03Well, they shouldn't.
30:05Plays havoc with your breathing.
30:07It was in the papers.
30:09Peggy.
30:10On it.
30:11Come on, Norm.
30:12Where are we going?
30:13The beagle.
30:13So, this is what poisoned Mr. Millington.
30:18I thought it was cyanide.
30:20Oh, but it is.
30:21And this is the clever part.
30:23If you ingest acetonitrile, then your body converts it into cyanide.
30:27So, in effect...
30:29You poison yourself.
30:31The chemical process can take about eight hours.
30:33So, Arthur may have swallowed acetonitrile the night before,
30:36but only been poisoned by cyanide early the next morning.
30:39Well, we know where he was the night before he died.
30:42The door's locked.
30:50The lady's on strike.
30:51Well, if that doesn't just put the tin hat on everything.
30:55Here I am, Miss Crumby, here for a letter of vessel.
30:58Aha.
30:58No, thank you, Tom, though I'm sure it's delicious.
31:02What's going on?
31:04Pug shut!
31:06One moment, please.
31:08Because the blasted landlady's on strike,
31:11and I've had to cancel my rehearsal of Lysistrata.
31:14Isn't that that play where the women go on strike?
31:19Yes, thank you, Felix.
31:21I do see the irony.
31:23Scrape, there's scrape, scrape.
31:26Oh, there's pulp with what?
31:28You're right.
31:30Don't blame me.
31:31Blame the blimmin' women.
31:32Look, tell you what, first round's on me.
31:34Half a shot!
31:39Not for us.
31:40There.
31:50Splash marks.
31:52And a ring where the varnish is corroded.
31:54It where the poisoned Arthur's drink had shaky hands.
31:57They didn't get it quite all in the glass.
31:59What was Arthur drinking that night?
32:01Brandy.
32:02Hang on.
32:02Well, Brandy would have masked the smell of ether from the aceton nitrile.
32:07Okay, so the place was full that night.
32:10Anyone could have had access to Arthur's drink?
32:12We may have found something.
32:13What have you got?
32:14Local girl dies of asthma attack.
32:17Any mention of the girl's name?
32:19It hadn't been released when they went to press.
32:21But we found an obituary in the following week's paper.
32:24Cora Ashfield?
32:25Working at the factory, she's connected to all our suspects.
32:29This doesn't exactly narrow it down.
32:39Bingo.
32:42Give me fire in my heart, keep me striking.
32:45Give me fire in my heart, I pray.
32:50Give me fire in my heart, keep me striking.
32:53Keep me striking.
32:54Keep me striking till we get more pain.
33:00Here.
33:01Get that down.
33:03Castle to grind some bits and put hairs on your chest.
33:08We'll see you and your kiddies, right?
33:10Who needs a husband?
33:11You've got friends, eh?
33:13Men.
33:13More trouble than they're worth.
33:16Miss Millington?
33:21What do you want with Pam?
33:23Because if you want her, you're going to have to come through us.
33:30It's all right, Bernie.
33:33Shall we talk inside?
33:34You don't still think I killed my own uncle over a silly boot design?
33:56No, of course not.
33:58Your motive went much deeper than a motif.
34:01What's going on?
34:04Pam wouldn't hurt her to fly.
34:06You should come with us, Miss Millington.
34:07No, I'm not leaving my sister.
34:11Cora Ashley.
34:12She died of an asthma attack.
34:17But you knew there was more to it.
34:21You confronted your uncle with scientific proof of its toxicity.
34:27Yes, but he wouldn't listen.
34:31I'll pay for that fancy art school you're always banging on about.
34:36How's that?
34:36Oh, that's not even what I came to talk about.
34:41There's an ingredient you use in the factory.
34:44It's lethal.
34:46Cora Ashfield shouldn't have died.
34:50This factory killed her.
34:51Don't be dramatic.
34:53She died of an asthma attack.
34:57What's that?
35:00A study into the toxicity of a Cetanite trial.
35:04Cora always felt dreadful after a shift here.
35:08And she was working closely with it.
35:10Well, if you have a weak chest,
35:13perhaps don't take a job working with solvents.
35:22Did you already know about this?
35:24Nobody forced her to work here.
35:29Pamela, you're a clever girl.
35:31You know which side your bread is buttered.
35:35You do want to go to art school, don't you?
35:40But that doesn't mean I killed him.
35:44I was some girl she hardly knew.
35:47Hardly knew?
35:48Look at the necklace Cora's wearing.
35:50It's the same engraved motif that's on the groovy shoe boho boots.
35:54Your design?
35:55A design that you didn't think anyone else had seen.
35:58A design that you created specially for Cora.
36:02She was your friend.
36:04She was more than that.
36:07I loved her.
36:08And you blamed your uncle for her death?
36:11He put profit before people.
36:14So you killed him with the same toxin that killed Cora?
36:17You can't prove that.
36:19Whoever slipped the poison into Arthur's drink
36:21spilled some of it on the table and on their own hands.
36:25Even if they washed them straight away,
36:27they would have given themselves very mild cyanide poisoning.
36:30Which is why you felt sick the morning of your uncle's death.
36:33And why you looked flushed when we visited you at the mill.
36:37If you show me your hands now,
36:41I suspect there'll be a nasty rush on them.
36:43How did you poison this drink without him saying?
36:58I put the acetanide trial in a miniature brandy bottle.
37:02Cheers, Pamela.
37:23Offered him a free top-up?
37:26I knew he wouldn't say no.
37:28Anything to save a few, Bob?
37:29That's all that mattered to him.
37:35Money.
37:36Of everything.
37:38I'd shown him proof that acetanide trial was dangerous.
37:44But this killed Cora.
37:46I thought even he'd be horrified.
37:49But all he was interested in was covering up.
37:55Protecting the business.
38:10Cora died.
38:12And he wasn't even sorry.
38:13And now...
38:16I'm not sorry, either.
38:35Norman.
38:37Right, about the acetonitrile.
38:38About Cora, please.
38:41The launch.
38:42Dermot, let something good come out of this.
38:45Good?
38:46You can change things now.
38:49Make the factory safe.
38:52I wouldn't know where to begin.
38:54I can help.
38:55You.
38:57I know I'm not your biggest fan, Mr Millington,
39:00but surely we can look after the workers
39:03and both get what we want?
39:04Please, Dermot.
39:06Be your own man, not Uncle Arthur's.
39:10I'm willing to negotiate if you are.
39:14I suppose we could...
39:16talk.
39:17You can relax now, Mr Millington.
39:43One of the catwalk models is stuck on a train.
39:49I don't suppose you...
39:51No chance.
39:52I'll make him.
39:52I don't model him.
39:54But don't worry.
39:55I will find you a willing volunteer.
39:57Those two seem to be getting along with you.
40:04He's paying us the overtime
40:06and he's agreed to discuss a small pay rise.
40:10How are you, Dee Dee?
40:12Much better, thank you.
40:14It's like Bernice says,
40:15who needs a man when you've got good friends?
40:17I've been wanting to apologize.
40:27I don't think I fully, well,
40:31appreciated the efforts women such as you put in during the war.
40:36Or since.
40:36You never did compliment me on that crumble I made in March.
40:41March.
40:42I apologize.
40:48I also have to tell you that I've decided
40:51not to go ahead with my production of Lysistrata.
40:55I'm sure there are, well,
40:58less salacious texts we can choose.
41:01There certainly are.
41:02Ah, good.
41:04So, where is, er, is Peggy?
41:11Ah.
41:13Right.
41:15Now, your esteemed colleagues here
41:18have been talking to me, WPC Button,
41:22about how much they value you.
41:26So, the station would like to offer
41:28a gesture of appreciation for your service.
41:34Thank you so much.
41:45Mr. Melanson,
41:47I think we've found your replacement model.
41:51What?
41:52New boho booths by Rudy Hsu.
42:03The coolest kids in town.
42:08These killer heels are definitely something to twist and shout about.
42:13Boho, the only way to go, though.
42:23Sensational!
42:37Yep.
42:37That's it.
42:39Go!
42:39Go!
42:39Go!
42:39Go!
42:39Go!
42:40Go!
42:41Go!
42:41Go!
42:42Go!
42:42Go!
42:43Go!
42:44Go!
42:44Go!
42:45Go!
42:45Go!
