00:30I'm not being unreasonable. I just don't like it. Yes. You said it's not just because you took my job
00:39Charlie at risk of repeating myself. It wasn't officially your job. You were only acting detective inspector. Yeah. Yeah, I know
00:46It's got nothing to do with that. Really?
00:49I'm allowed to dislike people
00:51You know
00:53Especially when they take my job
01:07Morning inspector. Good morning
01:12Are we ready? Yes, Inspector Blake. All right, let's go
01:23Please open the door
01:34Morning
01:36Waits
01:43Always best to check
01:53Spread out two men to a room
02:03Care what you say, I think it's impressive course you do you know, she spent two years in Hong Kong
02:09He speaks fluent Mandarin. Oh, and that one come in useful and I believe he served in many different parts of the world
02:14John
02:16What is it nothing? I just want you to stop talking
02:20I just want you to stop talking
02:41Split up
02:44Make sure
02:46We've searched the premises sir. I'm afraid we can find no way
03:17You're even
03:20I'm afraid to do this
03:21I don't know
03:23I just want you to stop talking
03:24I'm afraid we got the
03:27Just take the premises
03:29I want you to block the neighbors
03:30I don't think you'll be left
03:31I don't want you to stop talking
03:32I don't know
03:32I don't know
03:34You're right
03:34You're right
03:36I don't know
03:36You're right
03:37You're right
03:38You're right
03:38I don't know
03:40Wait here.
04:10Here we go.
04:40Police!
04:56Stop where you are.
04:59Miss Scarlet.
05:04Inspector Blake, I can explain.
05:09I can explain.
05:21I can explain.
05:33I can explain.
05:37I can explain.
05:53I can explain.
05:54Seal off the front of the building and send word for the photographer.
05:56Yes, sir.
05:58So can I explain myself now?
06:04I don't know, can you?
06:06Before I begin, I'd like you to keep an open mind.
06:11What I'm about to tell you will help you solve the murder.
06:15Miss Scarlet.
06:16We've known each other for less than two weeks and in that brief period of time I have made
06:23it abundantly clear that I do not need your help.
06:25Really?
06:26So you notice that the victim's body is in the second stage of rigor mortis, suggesting-
06:30The time of death between two o'clock and six o'clock this morning, yes I noticed.
06:34And the lack of defense wounds on his arms?
06:36Suggest a sudden attack rather than a prolonged struggle that I already know.
06:40What I don't know is how you ended up in a locked room with a dead man.
06:45It's complicated.
06:47Eliza Scarlet, I'm arresting you on suspicion of murder.
06:49All right, all right.
06:50It's not that complicated.
06:53I know his name.
06:55The dead man.
06:57And I don't think you do.
07:02I thought not.
07:03I also know who put that knife in his chest and will gladly tell you here and now,
07:07but if you insist on wasting time by taking me to Scotland Yard, logging my arrest of the duty sergeant,
07:11putting me in a cell until you can find an available interview room, then please be my guest.
07:18Start at the beginning.
07:19Every detail, no matter how small.
07:24It all began a month ago.
07:25This is before you'd taken up your current position.
07:31Things have been going well for my agency, both in terms of quantity and quality of cases.
07:36Extremely well, actually.
07:39As such, I was able to rehire a former associate.
07:42A chartered accountant with an unrivalled knowledge of civil and criminal law.
07:47My esteemed colleague, Mr Clarence Pettigrew.
07:51Alongside a variety of private clients, we'd also been enjoying the patronage of Scotland Yard,
07:55thanks to an ongoing relationship with Detective Phelps.
07:58Miss Scarlet!
07:59Clarence!
08:01I do hope I'm not interrupting, but I require your help on a most intriguing case.
08:08One that is tailor-made for your extraordinary talents.
08:13Stop right there.
08:16What?
08:17I'm quite sure Detective Phelps has never been that polite to anyone.
08:21Not even his own mother.
08:23And as for your esteemed colleague, Mr Clarence Pettigrew,
08:26he's a convicted felon who served 18 months for fraud.
08:29I believe everyone deserves a second chance.
08:31As do I.
08:33So please, begin again, and this time with the actual truth.
08:37Not some version of it designed to paint you in a favourable light.
08:39I resent the accusation.
08:41Hmm.
08:49Very well. Although, for the record,
08:51Mr Pettigrew and I were at work and we did receive a visit from Detective Phelps.
08:56Although I may have overplayed the likeness of his mood.
09:00Right, shut up and listen. I don't want to be here any longer than I have to.
09:04I've got five men off sick, twice a normal caseload,
09:06and I've not slept in a week because my missus has just given birth.
09:10Again.
09:11May I offer my congratulations?
09:13Only if you want a slap.
09:16This is yours if you want it.
09:20You wish to hire us?
09:22If you ask me, it's a wild goose chase.
09:23Total waste of time.
09:25But it's one more thing to get off my desk.
09:37Lord Spencer Bowden, 4th Earl of Cheshire.
09:42He went missing some 12 years ago after being accused of murdering his lover.
09:46I remember this. This was quite the scandal at the time.
09:49The newspapers ran with it for weeks.
09:51She was his housemaid, wasn't she?
09:54He stabbed her through the heart.
09:56Warrants were issued for his arrest, but he was never found.
09:58Well, a man with that kind of money can disappear off the face of the earth.
10:01There have been sightings of him from Edinburgh to Cornwall.
10:04Even the West Indies and Canada, but nothing that has resulted in an arrest.
10:08So what's changed?
10:10Well, apparently he's been spotted again.
10:12His time in London.
10:13Well, if he's evaded capture this long, he may well be moving his money across international borders.
10:18I'll see if I can find a trail.
10:20I'll pay a visit to our eyewitness, Amelia Bowden.
10:24His wife?
10:26His daughter.
10:28I had hoped to receive a visit from the police themselves.
10:35My agency has been hired by Scotland Yard.
10:39But I assure you we work to the highest professional standards.
10:43I suppose you cannot do any worse.
10:46It has been 12 years since Edith was murdered and the police have still not found my father.
10:52Edith was your housemaid.
10:54I'm sure you know the whole depraved story.
10:56Just like the rest of the world.
11:01Do you believe your father's guilty?
11:04I do.
11:05That man caused so much pain to so many.
11:11His actions drove my poor mother to an early grave, God rest her soul.
11:16Forgive me.
11:17There's no need to apologise, Miss Bowden.
11:18You filed a report with the police a few days ago saying that you'd seen your father.
11:29It was Sunday morning.
11:30I was leaving the house to attend a sermon at St. Luke's.
11:32When I saw him right across the street, our eyes met for a brief moment.
11:43I was overcome by anger and I cannot deny a little fear.
11:52I came inside to regain my composure but when I looked again from the drawing room window, he had gone.
11:58And you're sure it was him?
12:02He is my father, Miss Scarlet, I am sure.
12:05And have you had any other contact with him in the time that he's been missing?
12:08There have been letters asking for money but they were fraudulent, pretending to be my father.
12:13His notoriety is widespread, as is the shame he has brought on our family.
12:21He made us pariahs, destroyed our name, our reputation.
12:28You must find him before he does more harm.
12:43I thought shepherd's pie for tea.
12:53Fine, I'll talk to myself then.
12:56How are you Ivy? A bit tired actually.
12:59Been on my feet all day but thanks for asking.
13:02Sorry.
13:04I was miles away.
13:06Yes, I gathered that.
13:08So, shepherd's pie?
13:10Mmm.
13:11You're more than welcome to make something else.
13:14That'd be lovely, thank you.
13:16Oh, I almost forgot.
13:18This came for you today.
13:20Postmarks from New York.
13:25Then aren't you good to eat it?
13:27Yes, in private.
13:36Very well.
13:40I failed to see the relevance of this.
13:43Well, you asked for every detail.
13:45Every detail related to the case.
13:47What has this letter to do with anything?
13:49Well, the letter was from your predecessor, Inspector Willington.
13:53In it he stated that he'd been offered a permanent position in the New York Police Department and withered a promotion to superintendent.
14:00A position he'd never be offered in London, so it was good news indeed.
14:04Why was he writing to you?
14:08Well, we're, um...
14:10We're old friends.
14:12Which was why I was so pleased for him.
14:13In fact, I was more than pleased for him. I was delighted.
14:19I don't believe you.
14:22Inspector Willington and I are old friends. Of course I was delighted for him.
14:24I don't believe you know anything that can help with this investigation.
14:27I think you're stalling for time.
14:32I'm not entirely sure why.
14:34Yet.
14:36I'm taking you to Scotland Yard. We'll start with obstruction of justice and go from there.
14:39The dead man's name is Jonathan Harbourn.
14:43He lives at 215 Cable Street. If you send someone to that address, you'll find proof of his identity.
14:50215 Cable Street.
14:52Hmm.
14:54Detective Fitzroy.
14:56Sir.
14:58I need to go straight to this address.
15:00Yes, sir.
15:01Take Irwin and Phelps with me and report back immediately to the findings.
15:04Yes, sir. Of course, sir.
15:05Of course, sir.
15:08Oh, Lizzie.
15:12I wish there was something I could say to make it feel better.
15:20There's nothing to say.
15:24He's not coming back.
15:30Do you remember what your father used to say?
15:32Only hopeless people cry.
15:36And you're not without hope, Lizzie.
15:40You've a whole future ahead of you.
15:44You always used to say that...
15:47No more tears or there be no supper.
15:50But there always was.
15:51No more tears.
15:54No more tears.
15:56Oh, Lizzie.
16:00Oh, Lizzie.
16:02Oh, Lizzie.
16:04Yes.
16:05Oh, Lizzie.
16:14Oh, Lizzie.
16:15Clarence, I thought you had the day off.
16:44Yes, I had planned to, but circumstances change, as they are wont to do.
16:55Is everything all right?
16:57I heard the news about Inspector Wellington, and I thought that today of all days was not the time for you to be in the office alone.
17:04Have you spoken to you? Clarence, I'm perfectly well.
17:07Yes, yes, yes, you will say that you are fine, but we both know that that is not true.
17:13So I've given this a great deal of thought, and it is my belief that at this moment in time, company may be of some degree of comfort to you.
17:26Quiet, or even silent company, since I am a man who is at a loss to know what to say when it comes to matters of the heart.
17:39In fact, I'm rather out of my depth even expressing this much.
17:47Well, in that case, thank you Clarence.
17:52There was something I wanted to talk to you about.
17:58Oh God.
18:00It's not that.
18:02It's about Detective Phelps.
18:05He hired us to work the Bowdoin case, but he was only over a temporary appointment.
18:10And now that Inspector Wellington will not be returning, it's my belief that Charlie Phelps will be replaced by a permanent candidate.
18:17And you worry that the new man will take us off the case?
18:19Exactly.
18:20So we need to find out who's going to replace Phelps, but who might know that?
18:24I can think of one person.
18:40I still can't believe you're allowed to use this office.
18:43Well, I'm not exactly allowed.
18:45In fact, the Governor has no idea.
18:47It's through a little financial arrangement I have with the Warden here.
18:50You have a Warden in your pay?
18:52You go to prison for that, Patrick.
18:57So how are you, Liza?
18:58I'm here because I need your brain.
19:01My brain is always at your disposal? You know that?
19:06Inspector Wellington won't be returning from New York.
19:11So they're here.
19:15And I wish to know who will be his permanent replacement.
19:19I doubt very much it'll be Phelps.
19:23Your instincts are correct, hmm?
19:26The smart money is on a detective inspector from Bristol by the name of Alexander Blake.
19:34Not too much is known about him, but he has an excellent reputation.
19:37Hard-working.
19:39Honest.
19:40All the worst things a man can be.
19:42He's ex-army.
19:44Officer.
19:45Served all around the Empire.
19:46Oh, and there's something else.
19:48Something you will not like.
19:50Go on.
19:51He doesn't use private detectives.
19:54He halved the crime-mate in Bristol just by using his own men.
19:57Saved the City of Fortune, so you can see why the Commissioner likes him still.
20:01If anyone can change his mind.
20:05Well, I'll see what I can do.
20:07That was most helpful. Thank you, Patrick.
20:10Hmm.
20:12He asked you to join him in New York, didn't he?
20:16Your inspector.
20:18But if you'd gone, it would have been as his wife.
20:22The superintendent can't have a wife who's a private detective.
20:25You would have been forced to give up everything you've worked so hard for.
20:32You know so much. Why are you in prison?
20:37It's a question I ask myself every day.
20:47I sent Detective Fitzroy to the dead man's house.
20:51Is there anyone else at those premises that could pose a threat?
20:54No.
20:56Not that I'm aware of.
21:04You were telling me of Inspector Wellington's departure and how it connects to this case?
21:09I was contracted by Detective Phelps to find the fugitive Lord Bowden.
21:15And when Detective Phelps was replaced by you, I wished to know if that contract was still valid.
21:19Which is why I came to see you at Scotland Yard.
21:22I assume you remember.
21:24Oh, I remember.
21:25Oh, I remember.
21:38Oh, good morning, Eliza.
21:39Good morning.
21:41I trust you're well?
21:42I'm quite well, thank you.
21:44What brings you here?
21:45Oh, I wish to see Inspector Blake. I believe he begins work today.
21:48Yes, that's correct. Just before you go in...
21:51Oliver, please.
21:52I will miss Inspector Wellington.
21:56I will miss him very much, as I'm sure you will too, but...
22:00He's made his decision to stay in New York and we must respect that.
22:05I thank you for your kindness, but as I said, I'm quite well.
22:09I was actually just going to say, Inspector Blake is in a different office.
22:12You'll find it upstairs in the first floor.
22:15Oh.
22:17Well.
22:22Hello.
22:24Hello.
22:28Hi, ma'am.
22:29I'll be here, my sir.
22:31What are you doing?
22:33Oh.
22:43Hi, sir.
22:45Good morning.
22:46Look, thank you very much.
23:18Oh, um, Inspector Blake, I presume.
23:23May I congratulate you on your new position?
23:26From what I hear, it's well-deserved.
23:28And you are?
23:31My name's Miss Eliza Scarlet.
23:33I've come to update you on the Lord Bowden case.
23:37I was hired by Scotland Yard to investigate the recent sighting.
23:39You work for a detective agency?
23:42I own a detective agency.
23:43And I hope this might be a good opportunity to outline the history of my working relationship
23:51with your predecessors.
23:54In here are numerous case reports, letters of reference, and, as you see, newspaper clippings
24:00showing the investigations that I've helped to solve.
24:03I'm afraid you're wasting your time.
24:04I do not engage the services of private detectives.
24:06Well, may I at least present the progress I've made on the Bowden case?
24:09There is no need.
24:10My officers will deal with it.
24:11However, if you have a contract, you will be paid for your work so far.
24:14But that is all.
24:16Good day.
24:17I'm sure it would take anyone time to understand the unique challenges that the city presents.
24:31So, while you're finding your feet, why not turn to those who've been working here for
24:36some time?
24:38That is a fair point, and I will take it under consideration.
24:41Should I change my mind, I will contact you immediately.
24:43Are you just saying that so that I leave?
24:47Yes.
24:53Miss?
24:55Scarlett, as I've already said.
24:59Miss Scarlett, I have found through bitter experience that private investigators do not
25:03compare to professional police officers.
25:06I do not trust them.
25:07I do not use them.
25:09I do not need them.
25:10It's not my intention to be rude.
25:13You're doing a wonderful job of it.
25:15Please shut the door on the way out.
25:27As its first visits go, I must confess it was not ideal.
25:30Not unless you'd planned to irritate and insult me.
25:32I didn't insult you.
25:34By mistake, it must have been the other female detective I spoke to that day.
25:37I assume there's a reason you're telling me all this, given I was present.
25:52I severed your contract, so you were determined to find a clue that proved I'd been short-sighted
25:56and would be compelled to rehire you on the case?
26:01Something like that.
26:04Go on.
26:04The day after we met, I went to visit Amelia Bowden again, which is when I learned about
26:11the break-in.
26:14When did this happen?
26:16Last night.
26:17I came home to find the house had been ransacked.
26:20I have been waiting for the police all morning, but they are yet to arrive.
26:25What's been taken?
26:26Oh, family silver.
26:28Jewelry.
26:30Works of art.
26:31All gone.
26:32He even took my mother's wedding, Rig.
26:37He?
26:39My father.
26:42This is why he came back.
26:44He has no doubt run out of money and now has to resort to stealing from his own flesh and
26:48blood.
26:50Are you sure it was your father?
26:52There is a safe in what used to be his study.
26:55It was opened using the combination lock.
26:58You said you were out at the time of the robbery where your servants are at home.
27:06These days I have only a single housemaid.
27:09She does not wish to live on the premises.
27:12She's superstitious.
27:14My father committed murder in the servant's bedroom.
27:18Some family silver jewelry artwork by Gainsborough.
27:34A list of stolen items, some family silver, jewellery, artwork by Gainsborough.
27:51Let's head back to the office, work out our next steps.
27:54We need a plan.
27:56There's nothing I like more than a plan.
27:58You and me both, Clarence.
28:00That and a good to-do list.
28:02Oh, yes.
28:03That too.
28:05So, poor Bowden needs money, quickly.
28:10Well, he could make inquiries on the less salubrious end of the pawn shop market.
28:14Poor Bowden won't go to any pawn shop. He needs serious money.
28:17A pawn shop will offer you a fifth of the face value, and that's if you're lucky.
28:20But there are places you could get a lot more.
28:24And you know of such a place?
28:26I might, but...
28:28Well, it's not the kind of place I'm used to going to personally.
28:31I'm sure it'll be fine. How bad can it be?
28:33Hey, Clarence, Mr. Nash, tell me about this place.
28:41I didn't realize it was quite so earthy.
28:44There is a coded message we need to give in order to gain entry.
28:48I think I can remember it.
28:50You think?
28:51Good evening.
28:53Good evening.
28:54I'm a friend of Juan Zenglin, and I have a gift for his daughter.
29:03Not his daughter.
29:05His sister.
29:11His aunt.
29:12This should be enough for the whole family.
29:27Very fetching.
29:29Shall we?
29:30It's what you might call a specialist auction.
29:42No questions asked of buyers or sellers, and the clientele have some serious money.
29:48If I were Lord Bowden, this is where I'd come.
29:50Even with the masks, it's an awful risk for him to show up in person.
29:57Unless he's desperate.
29:58Do you have a photograph?
30:00No.
30:01Not a recent one.
30:02He's been gone for 12 years.
30:05Makes a nice change from being in the office, doesn't it?
30:08I must confess I'm enjoying it rather more than I thought I would.
30:10Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and thank you for coming to what may be our most intriguing
30:25event for some time.
30:28Let us begin with lot number one.
30:33Lot 14 is at £120 any more.
30:40Sold for £120.
30:44That's 14 lots.
30:45Still nothing.
30:48What if Lord Bowden hasn't even heard of this place?
30:51If nothing turns out, maybe we should go and talk to the auctioneer, see what he knows.
30:56That's an excellent idea, Clarence.
30:58I do.
31:00Thanks for noticing.
31:04Next we come to lot 15.
31:06An exquisite solid silver Robert Kane carving set with an array of jewellery with verified artwork
31:15from Mr. Thomas Gainsborough.
31:18I mean he bowed into some of the pieces stolen by Gainsborough, this could be it.
31:22Due to the unique nature of these items, the bidding will open at £600.
31:29£600.
31:30£600.
31:31Thank you, sir.
31:32Any more of £600?
31:33£605.
31:34If he's here, he may give himself away.
31:36£610.
31:37£615.
31:38£615.
31:39£615.
31:40I'm glad.
31:41Is that him?
31:42I'm not sure, but he doesn't look familiar even with the mask.
31:43£625.
31:44There's something about him.
31:45Can we do any more?
31:46I can't put my finger on it.
31:47£625.
31:48£625.
31:49There's something about him.
31:50Can we do any more?
31:51I can't put my finger on it.
31:52£625.
31:53£625.
31:54£640.
31:55There.
31:56£640.
31:57See?
31:58See what exactly?
31:59He's involved in this, I can sense it.
32:00Any more?
32:01What's his reaction when the bidding goes up?
32:03£700.
32:04£700.
32:05Any more?
32:06£700.
32:07Any more?
32:08£700.
32:09Any more on £700?
32:10Going once.
32:11Going twice.
32:12£750.
32:13A most generous offer from the lady at the back.
32:25£750.
32:26Do I hear?
32:27£760.
32:28May I ask a question?
32:29Yes.
32:30What happens if you win?
32:31The bidding is at £750 from the lady at the back.
32:37£750.
32:38Going once.
32:39Going twice.
32:40Sold!
32:41For the lady at the back.
32:42I take it you don't have £750, are you?
32:43Not exactly.
32:44Police!
32:45Everybody say no!
32:46Stop!
32:47Give it up!
32:48Give it up!
32:49Give it up!
32:50No!
32:51No!
32:52No!
32:53No!
32:54No!
32:55No!
32:56No!
32:57No!
32:58No!
32:59No!
33:00No!
33:01No!
33:02No!
33:03No!
33:04No!
33:05No!
33:06No!
33:07No!
33:08No!
33:09No!
33:10No!
33:11No!
33:12No!
33:13No!
33:14No!
33:15No!
33:16No!
33:17No!
33:18No!
33:19No!
33:20No!
33:21No!
33:22No!
33:23Don't go!
33:24Stop!
33:25Who the hell are you?
33:36I'm waiting for Scotland Yard.
33:45I shouldn't be here.
34:01Put them in the wagon. Take them to Scotland Yard.
34:04Yes, sir.
34:06Sir.
34:07Yes?
34:10Miss Scarlet.
34:14What are you doing here?
34:17Well, the same as you, no doubt.
34:19But I now have information that's vital to this case.
34:22Which is?
34:23I just don't feel inclined to share it.
34:26Not unless you honour our original agreement and hire my agency.
34:29That's blackmail.
34:30That's business.
34:31Not for you, it isn't.
34:32The man who is here to sell the stolen goods.
34:42It wasn't Lord Bowden.
34:43Did you see him?
34:44Perhaps I did.
34:45Perhaps I didn't.
34:46The man I saw run away isn't any of these.
34:55You sure?
34:56Certain.
34:57I did recognise him.
34:58I just wish I could remember from where.
35:00You're persistent, Miss Scarlet.
35:01I'll give you that.
35:02Even your compliments sound like insults.
35:03It's quite a skill.
35:04Could I ask you something?
35:05Why don't I hire private detectives?
35:06Why don't I hire private detectives?
35:08Why don't I hire private detectives?
35:09Why don't I hire private detectives?
35:10Why don't I hire private detectives?
35:11Why don't I hire private detectives?
35:13I don't hire any of these.
35:14I don't hire any of these.
35:15You sure?
35:16Certain.
35:17I didn't recognise them.
35:18I just wish I could remember from where.
35:19You're persistent, Miss Scarlet.
35:20I'll give you that.
35:21Even your compliments sound like insults.
35:23It's quite a skill.
35:24Could I ask you something?
35:25Why don't I hire private detectives?
35:37I have had numerous bad experiences over the years.
35:41I hired one firm who were working for myself and the criminals I was investigating.
35:46Another had found key evidence and withheld it for weeks to bump up their final fee.
35:50I could give you countless other examples, but the point is,
35:54I do not respect the profession.
35:57There are exceptions in every line of work.
35:59Such as yourself.
36:01There's much about me that you don't know.
36:03I know enough.
36:06And what have you gleaned from the two occasions that we've met?
36:10That you're ambitious and determined.
36:13You'd have to be together this far.
36:16You believe the ends justify the means,
36:18and as such you're willing to bend the truth to get what you want.
36:21And on the frequent occasions when you do lie, you give yourself away with a distinct tell.
36:28I do not have a tell.
36:29You affect a frown before you speak.
36:32As if you were lost in thought.
36:35Searching for the right turn of phrase, when in fact you know exactly what it is you're going to say.
36:39Interesting.
36:43Wrong.
36:45Not interesting.
36:46Anything else?
36:48The pockets inside of your dress.
36:51You use them as a psychological crutch.
36:54When you stand with your hands inside them as a man might,
36:57it projects an outer confidence which often you do not feel on the inside.
37:00You'll allow me to reply in kind.
37:10Be my guest.
37:13You moved your office from downstairs.
37:15It's a simple but effective show of dominance making people have to walk upstairs to see you.
37:20Dominance?
37:22Mr. Darwin would be impressed.
37:26But sadly you're wrong.
37:27No, I just prefer the view from here.
37:30You can see the Thames and St. Paul's.
37:35You have an impressive array of classic novels.
37:40Dickens, Hardy, Tolstoy.
37:42From the pristine condition of the covers I say that you don't return to them often.
37:48You read for self-improvement, not for pleasure.
37:51With one exception.
37:54Treasure Island.
37:56Clearly a favoured term, suggesting a hidden desire for adventure and escapism.
38:01That's not mine.
38:02Have I offended in some way? I don't think anything I said was any...
38:12Go through the mug shots again from the beginning. He may have missed something.
38:17But the man I saw isn't in there, I'm certain.
38:19Then we have no further business.
38:21Goodnight, Miss Scarlet.
38:32After the rather unceremonious way you bid me goodnight, I went back to my office to consult the Boden file.
38:50I felt sure I was missing something, and indeed I was.
38:55The man we were trying to identify that night is the same man who lies dead upstairs with a knife in his heart.
39:00Jonathan Halborn.
39:01There's a reason why I couldn't find him amongst your mug shots.
39:04He had no criminal record, but now I know where I've seen him for.
39:08He was in the case file.
39:10Jonathan Halborn was Lord Bowden's valet.
39:16When Detective Fitzroy returns, no doubt he'll confirm it.
39:22There are photographs and correspondence between the two men at Halborn's house.
39:26But in the meantime, I imagine you'd like to know who the killer is.
39:35Shall we?
39:39Come along.
39:40After the murder of their housemaid, Lord Bowden fled, taking most of his fortune with him.
39:53His wife and daughter were forced to dismiss most of their servants, including Jonathan Harborn.
39:58How did you know he was here?
40:00Well, my colleague Clarence was also at the underground auction when you carried out your raid.
40:07He was able to escape by a side exit.
40:17And when he found himself outside, he saw Jonathan Harborn running off.
40:23He followed him to that address at Cable Street, the same address that I gave you earlier.
40:32When searching that property, we found details of this abandoned building.
40:37I assume it was his backup plan.
40:38Should he need somewhere to hide?
40:42All of which led us here.
40:44Where we found him dead.
40:46The knife, you would have noticed, is made of pure silver.
40:56The hallmark on the side reads,
40:59City of London, 1836, Robert Kane, a well-renowned silversmith.
41:05Does that hallmark sound familiar to you?
41:07It matches the dining set stolen from the Bowden residence.
41:10Stolen items that were never sold thanks to the raid you carried out at the auction.
41:14The silver dining set, the jewelry, everything was returned to its original owner.
41:18Amelia Bowden?
41:20She arranged for Harborn to burgle her house.
41:23Presumably he'd be paid from the auction proceeds.
41:26I can only imagine that they fell out somehow.
41:29Perhaps he was blackmailing her, but it was Amelia Bowden who thrust that knife into his chest.
41:33I don't believe that her father had anything to do with this.
41:38I suspect she used his name as a smokescreen to hide her own involvement.
41:46My colleague Clarence left here shortly before you arrived.
41:49He hired two associates who are more versed in the physical side of our business,
41:54and by now they will have apprehended Miss Bowden and taken her to Scotland Yard.
41:57In fact, they may even be there already, so we should make our way back there now.
42:02I assume you have a carriage outside.
42:05Amelia Bowden is indeed at Scotland Yard, but she did not arrive with your Mr. Pettigrew.
42:11I arrested her at 6 o'clock this morning, two hours before I came here.
42:15What?
42:17Allow me to explain.
42:20After the raid on the auction, the question was who to interview first.
42:24Thank you, Sergeant.
42:26As I'm sure you know, some men will not talk no matter what they're threatened with.
42:30You can waste hours and days only to be met with a wall of silence.
42:35But there are others who would sell their own children to stay out of prison.
42:39I shouldn't be here.
42:41I often find the way to make people talk is to do very little talking myself.
42:51I don't know anything about Lord Bowden.
42:57All the sellers at the auction are anonymous.
43:03Well, we give them numbers, of course, so all I know is the man you're looking for is number 15.
43:11Dean.
43:15I wish I could be more helpful, I really do, but that's all I know.
43:25I suppose there are some people I could ask.
43:28I will make some inquiries and come back next week.
43:42In a few days?
43:47Tomorrow night?
43:48That would be most appreciated.
43:50Alright, but not here.
43:52My life would not be worth living if people knew I was a snitch.
43:54Mr. Grint arranged to meet me the following night in a local public house, where the beer is most certainly watered down.
44:08He had made contact with the man in question.
44:11Are you sure it was him?
44:14Where did you find him?
44:16He found me.
44:18He wanted to know when the next auction was.
44:20He said he had more things to sell.
44:21So I told him in a month or so.
44:24Did he give a name?
44:26No, but...
44:28Whilst we were talking, we were interrupted by a lady.
44:31Well-spoken, rich.
44:33She said she'd followed him.
44:35She was quite upset and angry.
44:38But they didn't really solve him.
44:40They were all speaking in front of me, so they went outside.
44:42But I followed them.
44:46And?
44:48And they were arguing.
44:50She accused him of stealing her things and demanded them back.
44:53She said the agreement was off.
44:55Well, the old man just laughed.
44:57And said that he was gonna sell them whether she liked it or not.
45:00But this time he was gonna...
45:02He was gonna keep all the money to himself.
45:04And there was nothing she could do about it.
45:06Can you describe this woman?
45:09It was Amelia Bowden.
45:11Which also matched up with my other line of inquiry.
45:15One which I'm certain your Mr. Pettigrew would have discovered.
45:19Well, that she recently renewed her insurance policy for three times the previous value.
45:22The police raid on the auction meant Ms. Bowden received all her possessions back.
45:27But Harbourn wasn't happy that the deal hadn't come to fruition, so he stole them from her again to sell elsewhere.
45:32And like he said, this time he intended to keep all the money himself.
45:35But Ms. Bowden got her revenge.
45:38We raided her house at dawn.
45:41The housemaid told us she'd been out late last night and had come back in an agitated state.
45:45Sir, a pair of bloodied gloves were found at her property.
45:57She was arrested and taken straight to Scotland Yard.
46:00How did you find out about this place?
46:02She confessed.
46:04Hasn't said a word.
46:06There's a hackney carriage stand around the corner from her home.
46:09We spoke to a driver who picked her up late last night.
46:12He told us about this address.
46:15Ms. Bowden knew Harbourn used this place to hide stolen goods, so she came here to find him.
46:20Well, the rest you know.
46:25I take it you closed the door to the attic to delay my finding you?
46:29Well, I had hoped to give Clarence a head start, but now I realise it was all a waste of time.
46:33Not completely.
46:35I didn't know the identity of Jonathan Harbourn.
46:38You'd have found out soon enough.
46:40Perhaps.
46:43What happens now? Will I be charged with obstruction of justice?
46:47There will be no charge.
46:49This time.
46:51Right, this side first, please.
46:53Let me know if you need more light.
46:56There are details on the murder weapon that need to be clear.
47:03If you wouldn't mind.
47:04Yeah.
47:05Well, I was or was.
47:18I was?
47:20What?
47:21What?
47:23What?
47:24What?
47:25Let's go.
47:55Ivy?
48:05Ivy?
48:25Ivy?
48:27Ivy?
48:29Ivy?
48:31Ivy?
48:33Ivy?
48:35Ivy?
48:37Ivy?
48:39Ivy?
48:41Ivy?
48:43Ivy?
48:45Ivy?
48:47Ivy?
48:49Ivy?
49:21I see more of you now than I did when I was a free man. Surely you have a better place to be.
49:35Sadly not.
49:41Well, I was supposed to be playing poker with a rather odd fellow on D-Block.
49:46Although probably best to cancel. I'm not entirely sure what he's in for.
49:51I heard about the Bowden investigation. Is that what's troubling you?
50:03There'll be other cases. You'll get by, you always do.
50:06I'm not interested in getting by. Getting by isn't enough, not anymore.
50:18These two have been worthwhile.
50:21What does?
50:22All of it, Patrick.
50:32If I have to live a life alone, then...
50:35I need to excel in my chosen profession and have some lasting success.
50:39Otherwise, what has it all been for?
50:42I don't know what you're going to say.
50:43You do?
50:46Well, there are plenty of married people with families who are also lonely.
50:49But I wasn't going to say that, but it is a valid point.
50:52The journey to success will always be more fulfilling than reaching the destination.
50:56I wasn't going to say that either, but I really wish I had.
50:59I probably shouldn't think about it too much because no one is satisfied all the time.
51:03I really do need to start writing this down.
51:04What were you going to say, then?
51:10That perhaps you should set your sights on short-term goals.
51:13Such as?
51:16Getting drunk and playing poker.
51:19Is that the best you have to offer?
51:21You might win.
51:28Only if you let me shuffle the deck.
51:30Are you insinuating that I would cheat somehow?
51:33Yes, Patrick.
51:34Yes, I am.
