00:00Sir, I'm cataloging. You asked why.
00:07Already? That was quick.
00:09Well, there wasn't much jewelry in the lockup.
00:12Excellent.
00:16Was there something else?
00:18I was wondering if it would be all right to leave early. I'm off to Chatham.
00:23A visit home.
00:24Ever since I left.
00:25Oh, well.
00:26It seems tomorrow will be a day of reunions for both of us.
00:31My son, Harry, is set to arrive from England.
00:34Is that right?
00:35Well, I look forward to meeting him when I get back.
00:37All right.
00:47You've lost weight living in the city.
00:49Gotta get you fattened up.
00:50As long as my uniform still fits.
00:52You brought it with you.
00:53I'm not sure why you asked me.
00:54Where is it?
00:57Better not be creased.
01:01Oh.
01:04Rolled up neatly just like I told you.
01:07Why did you ask me to bring it?
01:09I don't think I ought to be wearing my uniform when I'm not on duty.
01:14Nonsense.
01:15I want folks to know that my son is a Toronto police officer.
01:19Mrs. Roberts, shouldn't you be at work?
01:21Don't you remember, Mr. Finley?
01:23I took the day off.
01:25My son is visiting from Toronto.
01:28Stay back Monday.
01:29Seems like a nice man.
01:34Work's worse than his bite.
01:38Is that Joe?
01:40Joe Enns?
01:42Mrs. Roberts.
01:44Teddy, it's good to see you.
01:45It's been a long time.
01:47Sure has.
01:47How have you been?
01:48Good.
01:49Uh, at least some land from Noah Jackson, if you can believe it.
01:53Noah Jackson?
01:54You don't want to know me.
01:56I got an acre across the creek from where we used to play.
01:59It seems you're doing well, too.
02:07Teddy's a constable in Toronto.
02:09Ooh, that's something.
02:11Uh, say, I was just about to start clearing my land.
02:13I figured, did you lend a hand?
02:16You should.
02:17You said you miss nature.
02:19I got nothing but that.
02:20Well, I wasn't expecting to be put to work this weekend, but why not?
02:29Making quick work of it, thanks to you.
02:35Happy to help.
02:37It's some piece of land.
02:39Jackson must be getting soft in his old age to at least get to you.
02:41Yeah, you'd think, but what is that?
02:46Looks like a little bit of old fabric.
02:49Reminds me of, uh, overalls that Richie used to wear with the red patches.
02:53Sure does.
02:54Yeah, he wore them every day.
02:56I don't know what that guy's up to.
02:57What's this?
03:09It's a call?
03:14You don't think?
03:20Who is our friend?
03:21Richie Edgefield.
03:22How can you be so sure?
03:24The clothes.
03:25His initials.
03:26I stitched into them here.
03:27See?
03:28I thought he went up north to find work when we were 16.
03:32Uh, you know, those tracks aren't too far from here, so he probably took a spill running
03:35for the train and he dashed his head on a rock.
03:38This wasn't done by any rock, Constable Gaines.
03:42Some sort of expert?
03:43I'm a police constable in Toronto.
03:45My boss told me that a gash like that was made by something regular, a tool or a weapon.
03:50Well, rocks can be regular.
03:51Sure, maybe, but if it was an accident, how did he get buried?
04:00Creek does blood here a lot.
04:03Near every time it rains.
04:04See?
04:05So the body had probably sunk into the mud.
04:07It happens.
04:08You know, it's a tragedy, but there's nothing to be done.
04:10But you'll move the...
04:12You'll...
04:13You'll move Richie?
04:14Yeah.
04:15I'll make the arrangements in a day or two, but I gotta go tell the next a kid.
04:18We can do that.
04:20We can?
04:22Well...
04:23Kill yourself.
04:28Gaines is wrong.
04:30Someone killed Richie, and I'm going to find out who.
04:33How?
04:42I think this ring might be a start.
04:44I appreciate you letting me know, but this isn't Richie's.
04:52You sure?
04:53What kind of a question is that?
04:55I'm sorry, but it was you who told us you went up north for work.
04:59I didn't want to worry you boys.
05:01And for our line, we might have.
05:03Richie was always on about wanting to get out of this place.
05:06Yeah, but even back then, maybe you thought something happened?
05:10I wouldn't let myself.
05:12Especially after the police didn't find a trace of trouble.
05:15My poor boy.
05:17We're going to find out what happened to Richie, I promise.
05:22Whether the details matter.
05:24What happened is, he died.
05:28It's so good to see you boys outgrown.
05:37What now?
05:37Now we find out why Richie had this ring.
05:47Do you think...
05:49Was it for Minnie?
05:50I know they were sweet on each other, but a proposal.
05:57Yeah, Richie would have told us if he was planning something like that.
06:00One way to know for sure.
06:03Anyone home?
06:09Minnie.
06:11Hi.
06:11Hi.
06:12Hey, yourself.
06:13How's the land?
06:14Uh, well, uh, surprises?
06:17I'm sure.
06:19It's Eddie Roberts.
06:21It's been years.
06:22Did I hear you're in Toronto?
06:23Yes, as a police constable.
06:26A constable at our door.
06:29Well, I sincerely hope you're not here to arrest my wife.
06:32He's joking.
06:32Is everything all right, Joe?
06:46Teddy, maybe you should.
06:50I'm sorry to have to tell you, and like this, but Richie, he's dead.
07:02Ah, Inspector, I'd like to introduce you to my son, Harry Murdoch.
07:08He'll be attending St. Allegius Boys' School this semester.
07:11Pleasure to meet you, Harry.
07:13Your marks must be excellent for you to be accepted at St. Allegius.
07:17Top of his class at Harrow.
07:19It's already better here.
07:20The facility is meant to be excellent.
07:22They say the dormitories rival the city's finest hotels.
07:25Oh, but no matter.
07:28Harry will be staying with me while he attends school.
07:31Mother said I'd be boarding.
07:33Oh, I think we would both prefer how much time we'll be able to spend together than that would allow.
07:39Do you still have that room for cooking potatoes using microwaves?
07:42An invention not mentioned.
07:44Indeed.
07:45I'm afraid I've rented out the house, and I've taken up quarters in a rooming house, Harry.
07:51Jim, I'd kill for a baked potato.
07:55Put that back. I believe I have some apples in my office.
07:58Thank you, darling.
08:14Excuse my appearance.
08:16We farm and process sugar beets.
08:18Been at the plant with the men.
08:20Must be a rewarding one.
08:21What on earth happened to Richie?
08:23He was killed years ago.
08:26When we thought he left town.
08:28Killed?
08:29How?
08:30By whom?
08:32We don't know.
08:33But you think Minnie might?
08:35No.
08:36We're trying to piece together his last movements, and I wondered.
08:38I'd know you and Richie were close.
08:44Is that right?
08:45It was nothing. I was 15.
08:48Was there anything that happened between you before he supposedly left town?
08:54Not anything that would have gotten him killed, if that's what you mean.
08:59When was the last time you saw him?
09:02You don't want to get caught by old man Jack.
09:04You've seen a lunar eclipse before?
09:15Mm-mm.
09:16This one's only partial, but there'll be a full one in February.
09:20How can you know that?
09:23Been reading about them.
09:25I think they're beautiful.
09:28Like you.
09:32You're sweet.
09:34Maybe we can watch the next one together, too?
09:40I don't think so.
09:42Why not?
09:46You know why not.
09:53You ended things.
09:55I always assumed that he left town because of it.
09:58I never guessed.
09:59You couldn't have known, sweetheart.
10:01Who would have hurt him?
10:02I don't know, but I'm sure it has to do with this ring.
10:09Do you recognize it?
10:16No.
10:18Whitney thought maybe Richie was planning to give it to you.
10:21How am I supposed to get weight on you if you won't eat?
10:40Why did Richie have this ring if it wasn't for me?
10:42Eat.
10:49Well, it's real gold.
10:51How can you tell?
10:54The hallmarks on the band.
10:56Those markings mean something?
10:58Didn't you say we're cataloging jewelry for your boss yesterday?
11:02I only had to transcribe the markings to not understand them.
11:07Look.
11:0924KT.
11:10That means 24 carat.
11:11The P means it's pure.
11:13What's the triangle next to the P?
11:16It looks familiar.
11:17That's the maker's mark.
11:18It tells you who made the piece.
11:20This ring was made in Toronto.
11:26How can you tell?
11:27The P with the triangle.
11:28It's the logo of the jewelers on Bay Street.
11:33What would a boy like Richie be doing with a gold ring made in Toronto?
11:39I don't know.
11:41Unless it has something to do with it.
11:42I'm all right, Minnie.
11:48You all right?
11:53What was that?
11:54Sounds like it came from the other side of the creek.
11:57Probably just a hunter.
11:58Not this late.
12:00That groaning didn't sound like an animal.
12:02Should we go check it out?
12:04I think so.
12:05Someone could be hurt.
12:05We can't.
12:07Or I can't.
12:10My parents don't know that I'm out.
12:12We could still go.
12:18I should make sure Minnie gets home safe.
12:21Sorry, Tim.
12:24All right?
12:26What if Richie went back to investigate and got himself killed?
12:31What does this ring have to do with that?
12:35I don't know yet.
12:41Detective Murdoch.
12:42You're still living in a single room, correct?
12:47Yes.
12:48Although I have inquired with the building about a larger unit.
12:50One with a second room.
12:52Why?
12:53Even the closest of families can chafe in close quarters.
12:56Not a family that's been apart for over a year, I assure you.
13:01Good night, Inspector.
13:03Harry.
13:03Harry.
13:03Station house four.
13:10Detective Watts.
13:11It's Teddy.
13:12In Chatham?
13:13The line is remarkably clear.
13:15How was your holiday?
13:16That's why I'm calling.
13:18Is Detective Murdoch there?
13:20Oh, you just missed him.
13:22Shoot.
13:23I was hoping for some advice.
13:25I've stumbled into a case.
13:27What sort of case?
13:28I found a body.
13:30Only the Chatham police believe it was an accident.
13:32But you're certain it wasn't?
13:34Yes.
13:35Well, I have the next few days off.
13:37I could join you in Chatham.
13:38No, no, no.
13:39I could handle it on my own, but...
13:42But there is something you can do.
13:45I'm listening.
13:46The victim had a ring, but I'm sure it wasn't his.
13:49It's from the jewelers on Bay Street.
13:51Parker's, you mean?
13:53That's it.
13:53Could you see if you can find out who bought it?
13:56It's gold with a sort of wing circle edge to the top wing.
13:59Wing circle.
14:03I'll see what I can do.
14:05Thank you, Detective Watts.
14:08If memory serves, the gunshots the night of the eclipse came from over that way.
14:13If Richie went back...
14:14Do you really think the two things are connected?
14:16I mean, the shots and his death?
14:18I'm sure of it.
14:18I thought coming back here would jog a memory.
14:21You shouldn't be here.
14:32Your plot's on the other side of the creek.
14:34I know.
14:34I'm sorry.
14:37You remember Teddy Roberts?
14:39Trespassing, same as ever.
14:41You mean no trouble, sir.
14:43We're investigating a case.
14:44What are you, private detective?
14:46I'm a police constable.
14:47And I'm President of the United States.
14:50Now get off my land before I call the real coppers.
14:54All right.
14:55All right.
14:55All right.
14:56All right.
14:56Are you feeling all right, detective?
15:08Oh, nothing a little stretching.
15:11Can't fix.
15:13You're injured.
15:14Just a little stiff is all.
15:17Apparently my camping bedroll is no match for my hardwood floor.
15:20You're sleeping on the floor.
15:22Well, Harry needs his rest if he's to perform well in school.
15:27What about your performance?
15:28I'll manage.
15:29You're a better man than me.
15:31How's the rest of the first night otherwise?
15:33Wonderful.
15:33Although Harry has developed a taste for jazz music.
15:39Hmm.
15:40A genre of which you are not fond.
15:41Not at the volume that my son enjoys it.
15:44No.
15:46But I have come up with a plan to minimize the challenges of our living arrangement.
15:51I just need to find the time to sketch it out once Harry's classes start.
15:56Why wait?
15:57I can spend a day with him if that would help.
16:00Would you?
16:02These are beautiful.
16:05Why, thank you.
16:06Don't be doing that.
16:07But pruning can result in exponential growth.
16:10Messing around with my flowers can result in a swat.
16:14Detective Watts.
16:15What are you doing here?
16:17I was expecting a telegram.
16:18I had more information to share than a telegram would allow for.
16:21I'll leave you to it.
16:25Is this the owner of the ring?
16:26Manford Assisi.
16:28He was a rural property tax collector.
16:30Was.
16:31He disappeared on a work trip eight years ago.
16:33His boss suspected he absconded with the money he was to collect.
16:36But given your case...
16:38The body I found isn't his.
16:41It wasn't?
16:42No.
16:43Oh.
16:44It was a friend.
16:49Teddy.
16:51I'm sorry.
16:52You should have said something when you telephoned.
16:53It wasn't relevant.
16:55What I need to figure out now is why Richie had Mr. Assisi's ring.
16:59Richie.
17:00Richie.
17:02You think learning that will give you answers about Richie's death?
17:05I do.
17:07Then take him into the place you found his body.
17:09I'd say that's a pretty big clue unless Richie had a third femur.
17:18Not as far as I know.
17:20Are you telling me there's another body on my land?
17:22Yes, poor Manford.
17:31And hello, Constable Roberts.
17:37Well, now we know how Mr. Assisi died.
17:41There's also this.
17:4230-40 crack.
17:50He was shot with a rifle on the top of his head?
17:52Suggesting he was on his knees when he was killed.
17:55Interesting.
17:56And gruesome.
17:58Richie must have been terrified when he found the body.
17:59Are we sure that that's what happened?
18:02How else did he get the ring?
18:03Maybe this Assisi fellow dropped it and then Richie picked it up or...
18:08If that's so, then why would he have been killed?
18:11No.
18:13Richie must have seen Mr. Assisi's body and the killer.
18:16Whoever that was.
18:17A thief, I'd guess.
18:20It's empty.
18:22The killer took all the money he collected on his trip.
18:25Pretty lucky for a thief to happen upon a tax collector.
18:29Maybe it wasn't random.
18:31Good thinking.
18:31The tax office should be able to tell us who Mr. Assisi was in Chatham to see.
18:35Actually, I have another idea.
18:38But you're going to need a raincoat.
18:41Why?
18:43This Jackson fellow owns the property that Joe is farming?
18:46Yes.
18:47And he hates trespassers.
18:49That's a comfort?
18:50Well, he wouldn't have taken kindly to Mr. Assisi showing up on his land intentionally or otherwise.
18:55Mr. Jackson!
18:57You again?
18:59We've come to ask some questions.
19:01Who's we?
19:02Detective Llewellyn Watt, Toronto Constabulary.
19:05You recognize this man?
19:10My memory isn't what he used to be.
19:12You recognized me all right earlier.
19:14You don't look like most folks.
19:16There's plenty of folks that look like me around this place.
19:19Well, if the man in this picture was colored, maybe I'd remember him.
19:24Thank you for your time.
19:26So, I hear you like the jazz.
19:36It's my favorite.
19:37My dad got me the new Jelly Roll Morton as a welcome present.
19:40Hmm.
19:41Is that what you were listening to last night?
19:43How did you know?
19:44Lucky guess.
19:46Are you enjoying living with your dad?
19:48That's good.
19:49You know, growing up, my family lived in two rooms.
19:55My father snored, my mother slept with the window open, and my little brother, well, he and I disagreed on just about everything.
20:02My dad and I get along great, but the school place is pretty small.
20:09I'm worried about making friends if I don't live on campus.
20:13Why don't we go to the school and see what we can do about that?
20:23I wondered the secretary at the tax office say it would take.
20:25She didn't, but I can't imagine putting together a list of Assisi's meetings in Chatham will take long.
20:30Jackson recognized him.
20:33I know it.
20:33He's involved somehow.
20:35You may be right.
20:37The telegram you're waiting on.
20:40I knew it!
20:42Assisi did an assessment on Jackson's land.
20:44If we can get a hold of his rifle, I can match the board.
20:45You know it so fast.
20:46It says the main reason for Assisi's visit was to collect back taxes from Finley Engines.
20:51Do you know it?
20:52Yes.
20:53My mother works there as a cleaner.
20:54I met Mr. Finley yesterday.
20:55Then we won't need an introduction.
20:57Why should I do that?
21:00You know my mother, Lucille.
21:02She works here.
21:02I don't care who your mother is.
21:04I'm not sharing my financial data.
21:07All we're asking is whether you paid the taxes your company owed in the summer of 1905.
21:12Would I be here if I hadn't?
21:14It would help us to see proof.
21:16How can I be sure that you're officers of the law, as you say you are, and not rivals looking to take my company?
21:23You've seen my badge.
21:25Yes, a badge you may have found on the street for all I know.
21:28You have my word.
21:29Words are cheap.
21:31My answer is no.
21:33Now get out of my office.
21:36All right.
21:37Working on something fun?
21:42Ah.
21:42It's a design for a bunk bed.
21:45We can build it together tomorrow night.
21:47I've only seen those on trains.
21:49Well, this will be far more comfortable and sophisticated.
21:52If it works, as I intend, you'll be able to listen to your music as loud and as late as you like.
22:00Amazing.
22:01You don't have to go to all that trouble.
22:02Oh, no.
22:03It's no trouble.
22:04Why not?
22:07The inspector checked, and my room in the dormitory is still free.
22:11We can move in tomorrow.
22:19I don't know about this, Teddy.
22:20It'll be fine.
22:21The boss of the factory says Mr. Finley never comes in before 9.
22:24If anyone asks, just say you were cleaning the office.
22:26What we're looking for should be in the cabinet beside Finley's desk.
22:29Tax document, a receipt, anything to prove he paid back taxes in the summer of 1905.
22:33All right, all right.
22:35Wish me luck.
22:38Shall we find...
22:40I hope so.
22:41Doing a little dirty work for your son, I see.
23:09I didn't see anything, I promise.
23:16I don't care.
23:20You're fired.
23:21Give me those keys.
23:22You can't do that.
23:23She was in there because of us.
23:24Well, then you should be glad I'm not calling the police.
23:27The real ones.
23:31I'm so sorry, Mom.
23:33No need to be sorry.
23:34I never liked that job much anyway.
23:36You don't have to pretend.
23:37Who's pretending?
23:39I've been wanting to do something other than clean for years.
23:41Maybe this is my chance.
23:43But that doesn't matter now.
23:45Teddy!
23:47We need to talk.
23:48Now's not a good time.
23:49My mother just lost her job.
23:50Now I'm about to lose my land.
23:52Jackson's grumbling about canceling my lease thanks to the trouble you're stirring up.
23:56I'm going to make this right.
23:57For everybody, I promise.
23:58Yeah, how?
23:59What good is it being a cop if all you do is make things worse?
24:03Joe!
24:05Joe!
24:06He just needs to blow off steam.
24:09Me and him both.
24:10Teddy?
24:14Sorry, Mrs. Roberts.
24:15Don't be.
24:17There's something that I need to show you.
24:20I don't know what to do.
24:22Joe is furious.
24:24And my mother.
24:25They both know that you're trying to get justice for Richie.
24:28But what good is justice if it ruins everyone's life?
24:32There's always land needing farming and jobs to be done.
24:37Dinner's sorted.
24:38Are they still rooting it in the fields?
24:40Can't seem to stop.
24:42Gabe, honey, do you still need some extra hands in the office?
24:45Always.
24:46Why?
24:46You know someone?
24:47Teddy's mother.
24:48She's been working for Mr. Finley.
24:50I'm sorry to hear it.
24:51Gabe worked for him for a while.
24:53Taught me I didn't want to live my life behind a desk.
24:55Maybe you remember my mother, Lucille Roberts?
24:58Ah, that doesn't ring a bell.
25:01Gabe forget to tie his shoes if I didn't remind him.
25:04Well, I'm sure I can find something for your mother.
25:06You have her come by first thing next week.
25:07She'll see you then.
25:12I understand you've made arrangements for Harry to board?
25:15It was no trouble at all.
25:16Respectfully, I disagree.
25:18But the situation was untenable.
25:20Which is why I was in the process of remedying it.
25:22A bunk bed wouldn't make living in a tiny apartment any more comfortable.
25:26That is not for you to say.
25:31I miss living with my family.
25:33And now that Harry isn't across the Atlantic, I want him close.
25:39I'm sorry.
25:40I overstepped.
25:42I was only trying to help.
25:43What would be helpful is if you would telephone the school and notify them that Harry will be living with his father.
25:51As planned.
25:57That's wonderful.
25:58Gabe Devlin was always a kind young man.
26:01And a new job isn't the only good news of the morning.
26:05What's this?
26:05A receipt from the Ontario County's property tax office.
26:08I snuck it into my pocket before Mr. Finley threw me out.
26:12Mr. Finley paid Assisi in full.
26:13But Assisi's briefcase was empty.
26:15So we're back to theft as a motive?
26:17It stands to reason.
26:18But the list of people who knew a tax collector was in town is awfully short.
26:22Mr. Finley may be cruel, but if you ask me, he's no killer.
26:26I think it's time for another chat with Noah Jackson.
26:28So you have an axe to grind, Mr. Jackson.
26:38I've got nothing more to say to you.
26:40We know Manfred Assisi came to see you in August of 1905.
26:44Yeah, so?
26:45So we found his remains on the land you leased to Joe Enns.
26:49I don't know nothing about that.
26:51I've got a good mind to take that land back.
26:53Well, with all this trouble.
26:54This isn't Joe's fault, and we'll leave you alone as soon as you tell us what happened with Mr. Assisi.
27:02Man came to assess my land.
27:04Said I owed $50.
27:05And you paid him?
27:07I don't keep that kind of cash lying around.
27:10Man told me to bring it to his lodgings that night.
27:12But he'd cleared out by the time I got there.
27:17Where were these lodgings?
27:22Manfred's dead.
27:23How?
27:25Manfred.
27:26You were on a first-name basis with a guest?
27:29Manfred was more than a guest.
27:31He...
27:32We were Gordon.
27:35Or we had him once.
27:38What on earth happened?
27:40We were hoping he would help us find that out.
27:43Do you know why he didn't spend the night here as he planned?
27:47Pride wouldn't let him.
27:48Not after...
27:50He proposed.
27:51Do you...
27:56Do you recognize this ring?
28:00Manfred had it made special for me.
28:02That symbol...
28:04That's the circle at all.
28:05It's meant to represent two souls becoming one.
28:09Something you weren't ready for?
28:10Pretty or not, I couldn't say yes.
28:14My father wasn't more than six weeks in the grave.
28:16There's no way I'd have left my mother to run this place on her own.
28:20So, Mr. Ossisi left?
28:22He said he'd catch the last train into town.
28:25I offered him a ride to the station, but...
28:27He said he wanted to walk so as to enjoy the country air.
28:31The train station, it's...
28:34It's three miles that way.
28:38We should retrace the steps.
28:40Thank you for your time.
28:43And I'm sorry for your loss.
28:48I think you should have this.
28:49I'm glad to have one part of the mystery solved.
29:02The ring, you mean?
29:04At first, Joey thought Richie was going to give us a mini, but I thought that was crazy.
29:09Because you and Richie were close?
29:13He was my best friend.
29:14He must have been hard on you when he disappeared.
29:20I was mad.
29:22What kind of a friend just ups and leaves without telling you?
29:25If only I'd been able to get over myself, I would have realized Richie would have done that.
29:31We can't help but see things through the veil of our emotions.
29:35But Detective Murdoch says to use reading.
29:37As police officers, yes, but you were young.
29:40And even if you hadn't been, you couldn't have known Richie would investigate those gunshots.
29:46You couldn't have prevented his death.
29:50Teddy, it's all right to be upset.
29:52It's not that.
29:54Joe's land is just beyond those trees, which means...
29:57We could be standing in the spot where Mr. Assisi met his killer.
30:02Is someone shooting at us?
30:04Get down!
30:04This can't be a coincidence.
30:11The killer knows we're investigating.
30:16Exposing themselves is what they're doing.
30:18What are you doing?
30:19Teddy!
30:20Gathering evidence.
30:2230, 40, crack.
30:24Same as the bullet on the top of Assisi's skull.
30:27So Assisi wasn't on his knees.
30:29How do you know?
30:30Bullets hit the tree from an angle.
30:32Came from above.
30:32That's only possible if...
30:36I think there's a hunting blind in those trees.
30:38Stay down!
30:40We're feet away from the killer.
30:41A killer who has a gun and isn't afraid to use it.
30:45I think they're gone.
30:46They'll sink.
30:47Stay down and move fast.
30:48It doesn't keep them wrong.
30:52This is definitely where the shots came from.
30:56And look.
30:58Cracks.
30:59What's this?
31:01Animal skin, perhaps?
31:02A beak peel?
31:04Right.
31:10Minnie's husband.
31:11Gabe Devlin.
31:12He manages a beak processing plant.
31:14His shoes were filthy with them.
31:16And the rabbit.
31:18The rabbit?
31:20Shot one in his field.
31:22What reason would Gabe Devlin have had to kill Manfred Assisi?
31:26I have an idea.
31:27I have an idea.
31:37Robert!
31:39Robert!
31:40I can't hear a thing.
31:45The soundproof curtain actually works.
31:48That's amazing.
31:49At first I had my doubts that my invention would actually do the trick, but I believe this will do until we can move upstairs to a larger unit.
31:58That is, unless you were looking forward to living in the dormitories, Harry.
32:07Not exactly.
32:09It's just, there's so many things that the day students can't participate in.
32:14Oh?
32:15Such as?
32:16The jazz band.
32:17The drama clubs.
32:19Hiking trips.
32:20The basketball team.
32:22Oh, did Mom tell you about the chemistry and physics clubs?
32:26I must confess, she did not.
32:31It all sounds so fun.
32:35Harry, pack your bags.
32:37What?
32:38I won't have you missing out on all of the opportunities that living in the dormitories can offer you.
32:44Are you sure?
32:46Yes.
32:47Upon one condition.
32:49Anything.
32:50On the weekends, you will come home and stay with your father.
32:56Thank you for my mother.
33:00She's thrilled to be working for you.
33:01We can always use extra hands.
33:03And I think she'll have a better time of it than she did working for that penny pincher Finley.
33:08Please give her my thanks for this.
33:10Are you cooking that rabbit you shot for dinner?
33:14Minnie's in the kitchen right now.
33:15It smells incredible.
33:17My pops was a butcher, but I've never had rabbit.
33:24Well, why don't we remedy that?
33:25That sounds wonderful.
33:31All right.
33:33I wish I could cook it after me.
33:39Two old friends.
33:41And new.
33:42You know, my mother remembers you from your time at Finley's Vengeance.
33:49Oh, is that so?
33:50But she didn't tell me what it was you did at the company.
33:53This and that.
33:54I was in the office.
33:55Right.
33:56You said.
33:57When was it that you left?
33:58Um, gosh.
34:01I can't remember exactly.
34:03You bought the farm in 06?
34:06What a thing.
34:07To buy property so young.
34:09Ed, the plant must have cost a pretty penny to build.
34:11I don't like to talk about money, but it certainly wasn't cheap.
34:16How did you manage to do it?
34:19Gabe works so hard.
34:20I'm sure he does, but I am curious, especially given how penny-pinching Mr. Finley is.
34:28Why are you asking all this?
34:30You must have been drooling when Mr. Finley paid Mr. Assisi.
34:37All of that money.
34:41I have no idea what you're talking about.
34:45Who's Mr. Assisi?
34:47The tax collector you killed to buy this farm.
34:50I invite you into my home.
34:53You're paying me by accusing me of murder?
34:56My husband is no killer.
34:58Then why was this hidden in the back of your shed?
35:02Who the hell are you?
35:03Detective Llewellyn Watts.
35:04Now answer the question.
35:05It's for dealing with farm pests.
35:07Let me have a look.
35:11This doesn't take the caliber of bullet they shot at Assisi.
35:13Or at us.
35:14Are you sure?
35:16It's too recent a model.
35:17Now that's over, why don't we all sit down, enjoy our meal.
35:22There's plenty to go around.
35:24That's lost my appetite.
35:26Look, Teddy, I'm sorry that some loud shot at you, okay?
35:30But it wasn't me.
35:31And it wasn't me who shot that tax man the night of the eclipse either, despite what you might think.
35:39Minnie.
35:41What is it?
35:42There's another rifle.
35:54Where is it?
36:01Impressive.
36:02Oh, just something the inspector showed me.
36:05A key dome.
36:06A key dome.
36:08Rifle.
36:09Right.
36:16This might be it.
36:22But why'd you?
36:23I never told Gabe about the eclipse.
36:26How could he have known that that was the night Mr. Assisi was killed if he wasn't there?
36:34Minnie.
36:34Winchester 1895.
36:41A good gun.
36:42It's chambered for a bunch of different bullets.
36:44Including Craig's?
36:46Yes.
36:48And the sulfur smell from the barrel says it's been used recently.
36:50That doesn't prove anything.
36:51Which is why I'm going to do ballistic finger marking.
36:54What is that?
36:55A forensic technique that matches bullets to the guns they were fired from.
37:00Shall we?
37:00Unless you have something to say.
37:07I didn't do it to steal the money.
37:09I did it because there wasn't any money left.
37:12It was the only way to keep from getting caught.
37:14You'd already been stealing from Mr. Finley.
37:16Hey.
37:17He was paying me practically nothing.
37:19I deserved that money.
37:20And when Assisi showed up, the coffers were dry.
37:23I held him off.
37:25I'm going to come by the next day before he left town.
37:27And then you killed him before he could.
37:30But the receipt forged.
37:32I had to cover my tracks with Finley in the tax office.
37:36But why did Richie have to die?
37:39Because he was standing over the body when I went back to bury it.
37:42And he had that damn ring.
37:45If I hadn't been there, who knows?
37:46Maybe he'd have given it to you.
37:47It's all right.
37:54It's all right.
37:58It was good to have you pay.
38:01Even though I cost you two jobs.
38:04I don't believe you have.
38:06Minnie intends to continue running the processing plant.
38:09Do you mean to say...
38:10She expects you first thing tomorrow morning, Mrs. Roberts.
38:13Tomorrow?
38:15I've got nothing to wear.
38:16Thank goodness.
38:21I was feeling terrible leaving with her out of work.
38:25There's no need to rush back.
38:26We haven't had much of a holiday.
38:28That's all right.
38:30You lost a friend.
38:31You ought to take some time to...
38:32I don't want to.
38:34Which is exactly why you should.
38:36You're a good constable, Teddy.
38:39And you've got great instincts.
38:42We'll see you at the station house when you're ready to use them again.
38:44Here, take this.
39:02Did you get Harry settled in okay?
39:04How did you know?
39:07My acquaintance in admissions.
39:10You seem to have acquaintances in every corner of this city.
39:15I like to be social.
39:16It helps keep the pangs of loneliness from living a bachelor's life at bay.
39:19Thank you for seeing what I couldn't about Harry's living arrangements.
39:28It wasn't just Harry I was looking out for.
39:31I couldn't very well have my best detective laid up with a bad back for three months.
39:35I miss you, Richie.
39:47I miss him, too.
39:51Uh, what are you doing here?
39:54Yeah.
39:56Yeah.
39:57I'm holding that man to the bargain.
39:58I mean, with old man Jackson about keeping that, uh, lease across the way.
40:04I'd promise to chase away trespassers whenever they came about.
40:08Starting tomorrow, I hope.
40:12Really?
40:13Uh, I'm...
40:16I'm so...
40:17Don't apologize.
40:19I'm glad to know the truth about the man that I married.
40:23And about what happened to Richie.
40:28I can't believe he's gone.
40:32Like, really gone.
40:37You know, I always had my eye out for him in Toronto.
40:41I figured he'd find his way up north somehow.
40:43North would never satisfy that mind if it was too long.
40:51What do you think he'd be doing if he were still alive?
41:00He'd be here.
41:02With us.
41:04Looking up at this guy.
41:13Haramander.
41:14I feel.
41:15I'm just glad.
41:17You're welcome.
41:17I'm found.
41:19You're welcome.
41:19Oh, love.
41:20I'm gonna be demi wieder.
41:22Lord.
41:22Tell us.
41:28Like,.
41:29You're welcome.
41:30I love it.
41:30But on this guy.
41:30Please love.
41:31Ha-ha.
41:31Tell us.
41:31You're welcome.
41:32I love it.
41:33You're welcome.
41:33Love it.
41:33That was alright.
41:34I love it.
41:35?
41:35You're welcome.
41:37I love it.
41:39Let us.
41:39Huh?
41:40Himinent.
41:41I love it.
