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

02:20I just want you to stop talking

04:13Wait here.
04:43Wait here.
04:55Police!
04:57Stop where you are.
05:03Miss Scarlet.
05:05Inspector Blake.
05:08I can explain.
05:10I can explain.
05:14I can explain.
05:16I can explain.

06:03I can explain.
06:04I can explain.
06:05I can explain.
06:06I can explain.
06:07I can explain.
06:09Before I begin, I'd like you to keep an open mind.
06:12What I'm about to tell you will help you solve the murder.
06:16Miss Scarlet.
06:20We've known each other for less than two weeks,
06:22and in that brief period of time, I have made it abundantly clear that I do not need your help.
06:26Really?
06:27So you notice that the victim's body is in the second stage of rigor mortis, suggesting...
06:31By time of death, between two o'clock and six o'clock this morning, yes, I noticed.
06:35And the lack of defence wounds on his arms?
06:37Suggest a sudden attack rather than a prolonged struggle that I already know.
06:41What I don't know is how you ended up in a locked room with a dead man.
06:46It's complicated.
06:47Eliza Scarlet, I'm arresting you on suspicion of murder.
06:50All right, all right. It'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 to the duty sergeant,
07:12putting me in a cell until you can find an available interview room, then please be my guest.
07:19Start at the beginning.
07:20Every detail, no matter how small.
07:21It all began a month ago.
07:26This is before you'd taken up your current position.
07:32Things have been going well for my agency, both in terms of quantity and quality of cases.
07:37Extremely well, actually.
07:38As such, I was able to rehire a former associate,
07:43a chartered accountant with an unrivaled knowledge of civil and criminal law,
07:47and my esteemed colleague, Mr Clarence Pettigrew.
07:51Alongside a variety of private clients,
07:53we'd also been enjoying the patronage of Scotland Yard,
07:55thanks to an ongoing relationship with Detective Phelps.
07:58Miss Scarlet!
08:00Clarence!
08:00I do hope I'm not interrupting,
08:03but I require your help on a most intriguing case.
08:08One that is tailor-made for your extraordinary talents.
08:14Stop 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,
08:27he'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.
08:40I resent the accusation.
08:41Hmm.
08:49Very well.
08:50Although, for the record,
08:52Mr Pettigrew and I were at work,
08:54and we did receive a visit from Detective Phelps.
08:57Although I may have overplayed the likeness of his mood.
08:59Right, shut up and listen.
09:02I don't want to be here any longer than I have to.
09:04I've got five men off sick, twice a normal caseload,
09:07and 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.
09:28Lord Spencer Bowden, fourth Earl of Cheshire.
09:42He went missing some 12 years ago after being accused of murdering his lover.
09:45I remember this.
09:47This 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.
10:05Even the West Indies and Canada, but nothing that has resulted in an arrest.
10:09So 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,
10:15he may well be moving his money across international borders.
10:18I'll see if I can find a trail.
10:21I'll pay a visit to our eyewitness, Amelia Bowden.
10:24His wife?
10:26His daughter.
10:26His daughter.
10:26His daughter.
10:31I had hoped to receive a visit from the police themselves.
10:36My 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.
10:47It has been 12 years since Edith was murdered,
10:50and the police have still not found my father.
10:52Edith was your housemaid.
10:54I'm sure you know the whole depraved story.
10:57Just like the rest of the world.
11:01Do you believe your father's guilty?
11:04I do.
11:07That man caused so much pain to so many.
11:12His actions drove my poor mother to an early grave.
11:15God rest her soul.
11:17Forgive me.
11:19There's no need to apologise, Miss Bowden.
11:21You filed a report with the police a few days ago,
11:28saying that you'd seen your father.
11:31It was Sunday morning.
11:33I was leaving the house to attend a sermon at St Luke's.
11:37When I saw him,
11:39right across the street,
11:42our eyes met for a brief moment.
11:43I was overcome by anger,
11:49and I cannot deny a little fear.
11:52I came inside to regain my composure,
11:55but when I looked again from the drawing room window,
11:59he had gone.
11:59And 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
12:07in the time that he's been missing?
12:08There have been letters asking for money,
12:11but they were fraudulent,
12:13pretending to be my father.
12:15His notoriety is widespread,
12:18as is the shame he has brought on our family.
12:22He made us pariahs,
12:25destroyed our name, our reputation.
12:29You must find him
12:30before he does more harm.
12:38I thought shepherd's pie for tea.
12:54Fine.
12:54I'll talk to myself then.
12:56How are you, Ivy?
12:57A bit tired, actually.
12:59Been on my feet all day,
13:00but thanks for asking.
13:03Sorry.
13:05I was miles away.
13:07Yes, I gathered that.
13:08So, shepherd's pie?
13:11You're more than welcome
13:12to make something else.
13:14That'd be lovely, thank you.
13:16Oh, I almost forgot.
13:18This came for you today.
13:21Postmarks from New York.
13:25Then aren't you good to eat it?
13:27Yes, in private.
13:36Very well.
13:37I 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?
13:50Well, the letter was from your predecessor,
13:52Inspector Wellington.
13:54In it, he stated that he'd been offered
13:55a permanent position in the New York Police Department
13:58and withered a promotion to superintendent.
14:00A position he'd never be offered in London,
14:02so it was good news indeed.
14:05Why was he writing to you?
14:08Well, we're, um...
14:11We're old friends.
14:12Which was why I was so pleased for him.
14:14In fact, I was more than pleased for him.
14:15I was delighted.
14:16I don't believe you.
14:22Inspector Wellington and I are old friends.
14:24Of course I was delighted for him.
14:25I don't believe you know anything
14:26that can help with this investigation.
14:27I think you're stalling for time.
14:32I'm not entirely sure why.
14:35Yet.
14:36I'm taking you to Scotland Yard.
14:38We'll start with obstruction of justice
14:39and go from there.
14:40The dead man's name is Jonathan Harbourn.
14:43He lives at 215 Cable Street.
14:47If you send someone to that address,
14:49you'll find proof of his identity.
14:50215 Cable Street.
14:53Hmm.
14:54Detective Fitzroy.
14:56Sir.
14:59I need to go straight to this address.
15:01Yes, sir.
15:01Take Irwin and Phelps with me
15:02and report back immediately to the findings.
15:05Yes, sir.
15:05Of course, sir.
15:09Oh, Lucy.
15:13I wish there was something I could say
15:14to 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?
15:34Only hopeless people cry.
15:37And you're not without hopeless, he.
15:40You've a whole future ahead of you.
15:43You always used to say
15:45that no more tears or there'd be no sun.
15:50But there always was.
15:55Oh, Lucy.
15:56Oh, my God.
16:05Oh, Lucy.
16:06Shh.
16:08All right.
16:17Oh, Lucy.
16:18Oh, Lucy.
16:18Oh, Lucy.
16:20Oh, Lucy.
16:20Oh, Lucy.
16:21Ciao, Lucy.
16:22Oh, Lucy.
16:23Oh, Lucy.
16:25Oh, Lucy.
16:25Oh, Lucy.
16:26Oh, Lucy.
16:27Do you remember what your father used to say?
16:29Oh, Lucy.
16:30Oh, Lucy.
16:32Oh, Clarence, I thought you had the day off.
16:45Yes, I had a plan to, but circumstances change, as they are wont to do.
16:55Is everything all right?
16:56I 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.
17:48Well, in that case, thank you, Clarence.
17:56Well, there was something I wanted to talk to you about.
17:59Oh, God.
18:01It's not that.
18:03It's about Detective Phelps.
18:06He hired us to work the Bowden 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?
18:25I can think of one person.
18:27Still can't believe you're allowed to use this office.
18:43Well, I'm not exactly allowed.
18:46In fact, the governor has no idea.
18:48It's too little financial arrangement I have with the warden here.
18:51You have a warden in your pay?
18:54You could go to prison for that, Patrick.
18:55So how are you, Liza?
18:59I'm here because I need your brain.
19:02My brain is always at your disposal.
19:04You know that?
19:07Inspector Wellington won't be returning from New York.
19:11So we're here.
19:16And I wish to know who will be his permanent replacement.
19:21I doubt very much it'll be Phelps.
19:22Your instincts are correct.
19:25Hmm?
19:27The smart money is on a detective inspector from Bristol.
19:31By the name of Alexander Blake.
19:35Not too much is known about him.
19:36But he has an excellent reputation.
19:38Hardworking.
19:40Honest.
19:41All the worst things a man can be.
19:43His ex-army.
19:44Officer.
19:45Served all around the Empire.
19:47Oh, and there's something else.
19:49Something you will not like.
19:50Go on.
19:51He doesn't use private detectives.
19:54He halved the crime rate in Bristol just by using his own men.
19:58Saved the city of fortunes.
19:59You can see why the commissioner likes him still.
20:02If anyone can change his mind.
20:03Well, I'll see what I can do.
20:08That was most helpful.
20:09Thank you, Patrick.
20:10Hmm.
20:12He asked you to join him in New York, didn't he?
20:16Your inspector.
20:19But if you'd gone, it would have been as his wife.
20:22A superintendent can't have a wife who's a private detective.
20:25You'd have been forced to give up everything you've worked so hard for.
20:32You know so much.
20:34Why 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.
21:11I was contracted by Detective Phelps to find the fugitive Lord Bowden.
21:16And when Detective Phelps was replaced by you, I wished to know if that contract was still valid.
21:20Which is why I came to see you at Scotland Yard.
21:23I assume you remember.
21:24Oh, I remember.
21:26Oh, good morning, Eliza.
21:39Good morning.
21:40I trust you're well?
21:42I'm quite well, thank you.
21:44What brings you here?
21:45Oh, I wish to see Inspector Blake.
21:47I believe he begins work today.
21:48Yes, that's correct.
21:49Um, just before you go in.
21:51Oliver, please.
21:54I will miss Inspector Wellington.
21:56I will miss him very much, as I'm sure you will too.
21:59But he's made his decision to stay in New York and we must respect that.
22:03I 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.
22:13You'll find it upstairs on the first floor.
22:14Oh, well, thank you.
22:21Come on, take it right there, bro.
22:29You're standing here.
22:31Nothing right there.
22:32No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
23:07Oh, 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.
23:46And I hope this might be a good opportunity to outline the history of my working relationship
23:51with your predecessors.
23:52In here are numerous case reports, letters of reference, and, as you see, newspaper clippings
23:59showing 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.
24:09My 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.
25:12It'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.
25:37Okay.
25:37Okay.
25:37I've seen there's a reason you're telling me all this, given I was present.
25:48I 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 the 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?
26:26Family silver, jewelry, works of art.
26:31All gone.
26:34He even took my mother's wedding ring.
26:37He?
26:39My father.
26:40This 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 blood.
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.
27:01You 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.
27:08She does not wish to live on the premises.
27:12She's superstitious.
27:14My father committed murder in the servant's bedroom.
27:38A list of stolen items, some family silver, jewelry, 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 in the less salubrious end of the pawn shop market.
28:14Yeah, poor Bowden won't go to any pawn shop.
28:16He 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?
28:25I might, but, well, it's not the kind of place I'm used to going to personally.
28:31I'm sure it'll be fine.
28:33How bad can it be?
28:38A client of Mr. Nash told 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?
28:52Good evening.
28:53I'm a friend of Juan Xen Glin, and I have a gift for his daughter.
29:04Not his daughter.
29:05His sister.
29:11His aunt.
29:15This should be enough for the whole family.
29:23Very 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.
30:22And thank you for coming to what may be our most intriguing event for some time.
30:28Let us begin with lot number one.
30:30Lot 14 is at ÂŁ120 any more.
30:41Sold for ÂŁ120.
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.
30:58They do.
30:59Thanks for noticing.
31:04Next we come to lot 15.
31:06An exquisite solid silver Robert Kane carving set.
31:11With an array of jewellery.
31:14With verified artwork from Mr Thomas Gainsborough.
31:18I mean, he bowed into some of the pieces stolen by Gainsborough.
31:22This could be it.
31:22Due to the unique nature of these items,
31:25the bidding will open at ÂŁ600.
31:30ÂŁ600.
31:31Thank you, sir.
31:32Any more of ÂŁ600?
31:34ÂŁ605.
31:35If he's here, he may give himself away.
31:38ÂŁ610.
31:40ÂŁ615.
31:42ÂŁ615.
31:43Is that him?
31:45I'm not sure, but he doesn't look familiar, even with the mask.
31:48ÂŁ625.
31:49There's something about him.
31:51Can we do any more?
31:52I can't put my finger on it.
31:53ÂŁ625.
31:54ÂŁ640.
31:56There.
31:56ÂŁ640.
31:57See?
31:58Say what, exactly?
31:59He's involved in this, I can sense it.
32:00Any more?
32:00What's his reaction when the bidding goes up?
32:04ÂŁ700.
32:05ÂŁ700.
32:06Any more?
32:08ÂŁ700.
32:09Any more on ÂŁ700?
32:13Going once.
32:16Going twice.
32:19ÂŁ750.
32:22A most generous offer from the lady at the back.
32:25ÂŁ750.
32:27Do I hear?
32:28ÂŁ760.
32:29May I ask a question?
32:31Yes.
32:32What happens if you win?
32:34The bidding is at ÂŁ750 from the lady at the back.
32:38ÂŁ750.
32:40Going once.
32:43Going twice.
32:45Sold!
32:46The lady at the back.
32:50I take it you don't have ÂŁ750 on you?
32:54Not exactly.
32:55Police!
32:56Everybody say hi!
32:57Stop!
32:58Stop!
33:05Stop!
33:06Stop!
33:07Who the hell are you?
33:08I'm going to ask you the same question.
33:12I'm going to ask you the same question.
33:26No, no, no, please.
33:32I can explain.
33:34You're making a mistake.
33:35I'm working for Scotland Yard.
33:45I shouldn't be here.
33:46Put them in the wagon.
34:02Take them to Scotland Yard.
34:03Yes, sir.
34:05Seriously.
34:06Sir.
34:07Yes.
34:10Miss Scarlet.
34:14What are you doing here?
34:16Well, 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.
34:30That's black, Mary.
34:30That's business.
34:31Not for you, it isn't.
34:37The man who is here to sell the stolen goods...
34:40It wasn't Lord Bowden.
34:43Did you see him?
34:49Perhaps I did, perhaps I didn't.
35:03The man I saw run away isn't any of these.
35:05You sure?
35:08Certain.
35:10I didn't recognise him.
35:11I just wish I could remember from where.
35:14You're persistent, Miss Scarlet.
35:14I'll give you that.
35:19Even your compliments sound like insults.
35:23It's quite a skill.
35:24Could I ask you something?
35:29Why don't I hire private detectives?
35:37I have had numerous bad experiences over the years.
35:42I 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, I do not respect the profession.
35:56There are exceptions in every line of work.
35:59Such as yourself.
36:00There's much about me that you don't know.
36:02I know enough.
36:03And what have you gleaned from the two occasions that we've met?
36:09That you're ambitious and determined.
36:13You'd have to be together this far.
36:15You believe the ends justify the means, and as such you're willing to bend the truth to get what you want.
36:20And 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.
36:41Interesting.
36:43Wrong.
36:45Not interesting.
36:46Anything else?
36:48The pockets on the side of your dress.
36:49You use them as a psychological crutch.
36:54When you stand with your hands inside them as a man might, it projects an outer confidence which often you do not feel on the inside.
37:07You'll allow me to reply in kind.
37:09Be my guest.
37:12You moved your office from downstairs.
37:14It's a simple, but effective show of dominance, making people have to walk upstairs to see you.
37:21Dominance.
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.
37:32You have an impressive array of classic novels.
37:40Dickens, Hardy, Tolstoy.
37:43From 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.
37:50With one exception.
37:54Treasure Island.
37:57Clearly a favoured term, suggesting a hidden desire for adventure and escapism.
38:01That's not mine.
38:09Have I offended in some way?
38:10I don't think anything I said was...
38:11Go through the mugshots again from the beginning.
38:13He may have missed something.
38:14But the man I saw isn't in there, I'm certain.
38:18Then we have no further business.
38:21Good night, Miss Scarlet.
38:22After the rather unceremonious way you bid me goodnight,
38:46I went back to my office to consult the Bowdoin file.
38:49I felt sure I was missing something, and indeed I was.
38:54The man we were trying to identify that night
38:57is the same man who lies dead upstairs with a knife in his heart.
39:00Jonathan Harbourn.
39:01There's a reason why I couldn't find him amongst your mugshots.
39:04He had no criminal record, but now I know where I've seen him before.
39:07He was in the case file.
39:10Jonathan Harbourn was Lord Bowdoin's valet.
39:13When Detective Fitzroy returns, no doubt he'll confirm it.
39:21There are photographs and correspondence
39:24between the two men at Harbourn's house.
39:29But, um, in the meantime,
39:31I imagine you'd like to know who the killer is.
39:34Shall we?
39:39Come along.
39:40After the murder of their housemaid,
39:50Lord Bowdoin fled, taking most of his fortune with him.
39:54His wife and daughter were forced to dismiss
39:56most of their servants,
39:57including Jonathan Harbourn.
40:00How did you know he was here?
40:01Well, my colleague Clarence
40:05was also at the underground auction
40:06when you carried out your raid.
40:12He was able to escape by a side exit.
40:19And when he found himself outside,
40:22he saw Jonathan Harbourn running off.
40:27He followed him to that address at Cable Street,
40:29the same address that I gave you earlier.
40:32And in searching that property,
40:34we 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.
40:50The knife,
40:51you will have noticed,
40:53is made of pure silver.
40:55The hallmark on the side reads,
40:58City of London, 1836,
41:00Robert Kane,
41:02a well-renowned silversmith.
41:05Does that hallmark sound familiar to you?
41:07It matches the dining set
41:08stolen from the Bowdoin residence.
41:10Stolen items that were never sold
41:11thanks to the raid you carried out of the auction.
41:14The silver dining set,
41:15the jewellery,
41:15everything was returned to its original owner.
41:18Amelia Bowdoin.
41:18She arranged for Harbourn 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,
41:30but it was Amelia Bowdoin
41:31who thrust that knife into his chest.
41:35I don't believe that her father
41:36had anything to do with this.
41:38I suspect she used his name as a smokescreen
41:41to hide her own involvement.
41:42My colleague Clarence left here
41:47shortly before you arrived.
41:50He hired two associates
41:51who are more versed
41:52in the physical side of our business,
41:54and by now they will have
41:54apprehended Miss Bowdoin
41:56and taken her to Scotland Yard.
41:59In fact, they may even be there already,
42:01so we should make our way back there now.
42:03I assume you have a carriage outside.
42:06Amelia Bowdoin is indeed at Scotland Yard,
42:08but she did not arrive
42:09with your Mr. Pettigrew.
42:12I arrested her at six o'clock this morning,
42:13two hours before I came here.
42:16What?
42:17Allow me to explain.
42:21After the raid on the auction,
42:23the question was who to interview first.
42:26As I'm sure you know,
42:27some men will not talk
42:28no matter what they're threatened with.
42:30You can waste hours and days
42:31only to be met with a wall of silence.
42:35But there are others
42:36who would sell their own children
42:37to stay out of prison.
42:40I shouldn't be here.
42:42I often find the way
42:47to make people talk
42:48is to do very little talking myself.
42:54I don't know anything about Lord Bowdoin.
42:57all the sellers at the auction
43:01are anonymous.
43:03Oh, well, we give them numbers, of course,
43:05so...
43:06so all I know is the man
43:08you're looking for is
43:09number 15.
43:11I wish I could be more...
43:16more helpful, I really do,
43:18but that's all I know.
43:25I suppose there are some people
43:27I could ask.
43:28I will make some inquiries
43:35and come back next week.
43:40In...
43:41in a few days?
43:47Tomorrow night?
43:48That would be most appreciated.
43:49All right, but not here.
43:51My life would not be worth living
43:53if people knew I was a snitch.
44:01Mr. Grint arranged to meet me
44:02the following night
44:03in a local public house
44:04where the beer
44:05is most certainly watered down.
44:08He had made contact
44:09with the man in question.
44:11You sure it was him?
44:12Where'd you find him?
44:15He found me.
44:17He wanted to know
44:18when the next auction was.
44:20He said he had more things to sell.
44:22So I told him in a month or so.
44:24Did he give a name?
44:25No, but...
44:27whilst we were talking,
44:29we 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 resolve him.
44:39They were all speaking in front of me,
44:40so they went outside.
44:42But I followed them.
44:46And?
44:47And they were arguing.
44:49She accused him of stealing her things
44:51and demanded them back.
44:53She said the agreement was off.
44:55Well, the old man just laughed
44:56and said that he was going to sell them
44:58whether she liked it or not.
44:59But this time he was going to...
45:00He was going to keep all the money to himself.
45:04And there was nothing she could do about it.
45:07Can you describe this one, man?
45:12It was Amelia Bowden.
45:14Which also matched up with my other line of inquiry.
45:17One which I'm certain your Mr. Pettigrew
45:18will have discovered.
45:19Well, that she recently renewed her insurance policy
45:21for three times the previous value.
45:24The police raid on the auction
45:25meant Miss Bowden received all her possessions back.
45:27But Harbourn wasn't happy that the deal
45:29hadn't come to fruition,
45:30so he stole them from her again
45:31to sell elsewhere.
45:32And like he said,
45:33this time he intended to keep all the money himself.
45:36But Miss Bowden got her revenge.
45:39We raided her house at dawn.
45:42The housemaid told us
45:43she'd been out late last night
45:44and had come back in an agitated state.
45:49Sir.
45:50A pair of bloodied gloves
45:51were found at her property.
45:53She was arrested
45:58and taken straight to Scotland Yard.
46:00How did you find out about this place?
46:03She confessed.
46:04Hasn't said a word.
46:06There's a hackney carriage stand
46:07around the corner from her home.
46:09We spoke to a driver
46:11who picked her up late last night.
46:13He told us about this address.
46:15Miss Bowden knew Harbourn
46:16used this place to hide stolen goods,
46:18so she came here to find him.
46:19and, well, the rest you know.
46:25I take it you closed the door to the attic
46:26to delay my finding you.
46:28Well, I had hoped to give Clarence a head start,
46:31but now I realise it was all a waste of time.
46:33Not completely.
46:34I didn't know the identity of Jonathan Harbourn.
46:38You'd have found out soon enough.
46:40Perhaps.
46:43What happens now?
46:44Will I be charged with obstruction of justice?
46:47There will be no charge.
46:49This time.
46:50Sir.
46:51Right, this side first, please.
46:53Let me know if you need more light.
46:56There are details on the murder weapon
46:57that need to be clear.
47:03If you wouldn't mind.
47:04I don't know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you want to know if you

49:03Ivy?
49:04I see more of you now than I did when I was a free man.
49:32Surely you have a better place to be.
49:34Sadly not.
49:41Well, I was supposed to be playing poker with a rather odd fellow on D-Block.
49:46Although probably best to cancel.
49:48I'm not entirely sure what he's in for.
49:55I heard about the Bowden investigation.
49:58Is that what's troubling you?
50:02There'll be other cases.
50:05You'll get by, you always do.
50:09I'm not interested in getting by.
50:14Getting by isn't enough, not anymore.
50:18These two have been worthwhile.
50:21What does?
50:25All of it, Patrick.
50:26If I have to live a life alone, then I 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.
50:45You do?
50:46Well, there are plenty of married people with families who are also lonely.
50:49I 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.
51:08What were you going to say then?
51:10That perhaps you should set your sights on short-term goals.
51:13Such as?
51:15Getting drunk and playing poker.
51:18Is 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.
