00:00Come on Jack, down here, down here Jack!
00:29Down here Jack!
00:59Down here Jack!
01:09Down here Jack!
01:19Down here Jack!
01:31Down here Jack!
01:33Down here Jack!
01:35Down here Jack!
01:37Down here Jack!
01:47Inspector Blake, I can explain.
01:49Which part?
01:50Drugging a dozen men or stealing a priceless artifact?
01:53It was eight, then.
01:55And I didn't steal anything.
01:57I returned it to the British Museum for a fee, I admit.
01:59But as soon as I'd done so, I immediately informed Scotland Yard's a new hunter.
02:03You could have killed one if not all of them.
02:05A little order never hurt anyone, expectably.
02:09Perhaps we should continue this conversation inside.
02:11Perhaps I should have forewarned you of my plan.
02:17I'm sorry, do forgive me.
02:19No, not remotely.
02:21We need to be discreet.
02:23We need to be discreet.
02:25I'd better close the door then.
02:29We need to be careful.
02:31You can't simply kiss me in the middle of my hallway, Alexander.
02:34You didn't seem to mind.
02:35I just, I just want to stay in this bubble forever.
02:40No one else knowing or interfering.
02:43Things are perfect as they are.
02:45Mostly, yes.
02:49What do you mean mostly?
02:51Eliza, I have offered you three cases in the past fortnight, all of which you've turned down.
02:56I've been extremely busy.
02:59How does Clarence feel about you turning down work?
03:01He feels the pain every bit as much as I do.
03:05You didn't tell him, did you?
03:11The truth is I'm worried what it would be like working together now.
03:14As do I.
03:15But there's only one way to find out.
03:17Yes, but I've never been in this situation before.
03:20I don't want anything to ruin it.
03:25Eliza!
03:29Inspector Blake!
03:30And nice to see you again.
03:32It's pos.
03:33I see more of you here than I do at work.
03:36What do you want for dinner?
03:38Anything's fine.
03:39What's wrong?
03:43Nothing.
03:45You're usually fussy about what you have for dinner.
03:50I should be getting back.
03:51Yes.
03:52Thank you for coming, Inspector Blake.
03:53I'll be sure to speak to the Accounts Department about my invoice.
03:56Be sure that you do, Miss Garnett.
03:58I'll see you ask, Inspector Blake.
04:02This spot.
04:03Inspector Blake.
04:04I know that girl inside out.
04:15And I've never seen her so happy.
04:18And I've a sneaky inkling as to why.
04:21Don't go asking me to share my inklings with you, Barnabas.
04:23We both know what you're like with secrets.
04:28Barnabas?
04:29You finally touched your bacon.
04:33I cannot deny I'm a little troubled, my dear.
04:36Why?
04:37What's happened?
04:38As you know, I like to keep all the mortuaries under my charge, spick and span.
04:49However, recently, chaos has begun to seep through the cracks.
04:54Cracks caused, I'm sorry to say, by our Chief Coroner.
04:58Mr Wormsley.
05:00He's become a shadow of his former self.
05:03He now arrives at work late.
05:04He leaves early.
05:06His administration has become woeful indeed.
05:09And on more than one occasion, I have noticed the potent aroma of whisky about him.
05:13Oh, you must speak to him.
05:15It's not fair to lay extra work at your door.
05:17It's a strict chain of command.
05:19One must respect, my beloved.
05:21If everyone went around saying all that was on their minds, there would be-
05:24Panicky?
05:26Precisely.
05:27Then, all I can offer is a kiss.
05:33Might that soothe your furrow brow?
05:37Yes.
05:38Yes, my Jewel, yes.
05:39That may have evade some of my discomforter.
05:42All right.
05:44See you later.
05:57Excuse me, I can't seem to find the clerical office.
06:14I think it's at the end of the corridor.
06:16You think?
06:18I've only been here once before. It's my first day.
06:19Really? Mine too.
06:21End of the corridor, you say?
06:23On the right, I think.
06:24I'll give it a try. Thank you.
06:27Oh.
06:28Good luck.
06:30You too.
06:37Well, when is Mr Wormsley due in?
06:40Very well. Please let him know that we're still waiting on the post-mortem from yesterday.
06:45Come.
06:47Detective Willows, Supporting Producer.
06:49Yes, I'm well aware who you are, Detective Willows. Please.
06:52You, er, seem to have something on your lapel.
07:02I do apologise, sir. Teeth and baby at home.
07:06I didn't realise you were married.
07:08It's complicated, sir.
07:10So, given this is your first day, normally I'd give you time to find your feet.
07:14But I'm afraid we're still a couple of men short.
07:17I think you met Detective Fitzroy when he came in for your interview.
07:19Yes, sir.
07:20Well, he's now left to take the role of Senior Detective in the Birmingham Force, and Detective Phelps is...
07:25Is it the City of London Police, sir? Yeah, I have some mates there.
07:29What are they saying about him?
07:30He's doing very well, sir.
07:36You can speak freely.
07:39He's a bit of a character, is what I hear, sir.
07:42Indeed he is.
07:44So, are you ready to get to work?
07:46Yes, sir. Very much so.
07:48And thank you again for giving me the job. I won't let you down.
07:53Glad to hear it.
07:55Two dead bodies for our immediate detention.
07:58One in a townhouse in Mayfair, the other in a cold, drafty alleyway in Kilburn.
08:02If you want to make a good impression on your first day, I would take.
08:06The drafty alleyway in Kilburn, sir.
08:09I think you and I are going to get along just fine.
08:18It's not that business has dried up completely, but things have been rather quiet, particularly from Scotland Yard.
08:24Yeah, things will pick up, Clarence. They always do.
08:28Well, yes, but we haven't had a single case from Scotland Yard for some time, though.
08:31Well, it has been unseasonably cold.
08:33Which, as you know, does have an effect on the crime levels.
08:35Usually, in such lean times, you'd be accusing Scotland Yard of employing an alternative agency.
08:42Usually, you'd be on your feet and out the door to talk to the inspector. Usually...
08:47But at least not saying usually.
08:49This is about you and Inspector Blake, isn't it?
08:54I have no idea what you mean.
08:56Oh, I think you do.
08:57You have offended him in some way, and he's refusing to employ you.
09:04So, your powers of deduction still need honing, Clarence.
09:09I can assure you, Inspector Blake and I are on the best of terms.
09:12Professionally speaking.
09:13Professionally speaking.
09:19Now, can you please drop that odd-looking frown? It's very disconcerting.
09:22Professionally speaking.
09:32She answered a word, sir.
09:35I'm Inspector Blake from Scotland Yard.
09:38I believe it was you who found the body.
09:40Can you tell me your name?
09:41Take her back to the yard.
09:57Get her a cup of tea?
09:58Yes, sir.
10:02Come on, now.
10:10No evidence of a robbery, no sign of a struggle, potassium bromide.
10:40The victim's well-dressed, there's no obvious signs of attack.
10:50Doesn't look like a theft, she's still got her purse.
11:10Two bottles of potassium bromide, two dead women.
11:17Coincidence, sir?
11:21Tell me about your lady.
11:24Her name was Elizabeth Roper.
11:28Passerby said that she was having some sort of fit before she died, convulsions and such.
11:33I've asked the uniform to do house-to-house inquiries.
11:36I also have a potential witness.
11:38A young woman, she seems traumatised by whatever she saw, hasn't said a word, not even her name.
11:43When I was at Bow Street, if we had a female witness who was in shock, we used to ask one of the secretaries to sit with her for a bit.
11:51Do you have any ladies you could ask?
12:02An urgent request from Scotland Yard, that's welcome news indeed.
12:06Shall I get you a can?
12:10Not yet, I'm thinking.
12:13May I point out that you've been reading the same telegram for almost ten minutes now?
12:18What if another case comes in, something bigger, more lucrative?
12:22I don't understand.
12:24Well, it's a fairly simple concept.
12:26I don't understand, because that's literally never bothered you before.
12:29Am I missing something?
12:30Fine. Fine. I'll go.
12:43Miss Scarlett.
12:44Inspector Blake.
12:46Where is she?
12:57Would you like a cup of tea? Coffee?
13:00I know where they keep the whiskey, if that helps.
13:10There's no rush. Take your time.
13:14As I said, my name's Miss Scarlett, but you can call me Eliza.
13:19And you are?
13:24My name's Sarah Mason.
13:27She arrived at the house of the deceased Miss Quayle at 25-8 this morning.
13:31The door was ajar, and when no one answered, she ended to find Miss Quayle collapsed on the floor.
13:35What was her reason for going to Miss Quayle's home?
13:38Miss Mason is a secretary to a doctor on Harley Street.
13:41Isambard Cole.
13:44He was treating the deceased for a form of neuroses.
13:47He sent Miss Mason to check on her when she failed to attend an appointment last evening.
13:49That was most comprehensive. Thank you, Miss Scarlett.
13:54I believe she's now ready to make a full statement.
13:56I'll send my invoice to the accounts department.
13:59You're leaving.
14:01You asked me to speak to your witness, and I have.
14:04I'm sure you can take it from here.
14:06No... persuasion or manipulation to get me to hire you on the rest of the case?
14:12This is a new dawn indeed, and one I am ill-prepared for.
14:17I'm trying to make the best of a difficult situation, Alexander.
14:20Believe me, it's not easy turning down work.
14:24Eliza.
14:30I don't want people to know about us either.
14:37Not yet, anyway.
14:40The fact is, you are an excellent detective, and I need your help.
14:46Are you trying to charm me?
14:48Yes.
14:50Is it working?
14:52Come.
14:54Detective Willows, this is Miss Scarlett.
14:56Hello, she is, sir.
14:57It's nice to meet you, Miss Scarlett.
14:58And you?
14:59I saw you in court once.
15:00You were giving evidence at the Jacobson trial.
15:02You kept interrupting the judge, and you got fined.
15:05Twice.
15:07Only twice.
15:10You have some information on your poisoning?
15:11I do, sir.
15:13The deceased, Mrs. Roper, she was under the care of a doctor at Harley Street.
15:17He specializes in treating melancholia.
15:19The doctor isn't bad cold, by any chance?
15:22The very same.
15:24So both women were prescribed potassium bromide by the same doctor?
15:27Yeah, it would seem that way.
15:30We need to speak to this doctor and contact the pharmacy that supplies him with the drugs.
15:34There's also the post-mortem of the two women that need to be expedited.
15:36Thank you, Miss Scarlett.
15:37I'm quite aware of what the next step should be.
15:45Do what she said.
15:47Yes, sir.
15:48Well, as you said, I can take it from here, so thank you again for coming in.
15:59Unless you do want to help with the investigation.
16:02No, fine, thank you.
16:03No.
16:12No.
16:13No.
16:14No.
16:15No.
16:16No.
16:17No.
16:19No.
16:21No.
16:23No.
16:24I'm here because I interviewed the secretary and I've worked for Scotland Yard for many years,
16:29even before you arrived, in fact, so be sure to mention that.
16:31You all right?
16:33Yes, I'm fine.
16:35It's just our first professional engagement since...
16:38Well, you know, I just want everything to go smoothly.
16:41As do I.
16:42Off to you.
16:43No, Alexander, when we're working together, it's best that you treat me as you would one of your men.
16:48You can be polite in our private time.
16:51Perhaps you could write a list of what I'm meant to do and when.
17:09Two of my patients found dead.
17:12Mrs. Roper collapsed in the street and Miss Quayle was found at home by your secretary.
17:17By Miss Mason.
17:19The poor creature suffers from a nervous disposition.
17:21She will be most traumatized.
17:23Well, yes, that's why I interviewed her.
17:26Because as a woman, Inspector Blake thought it might help.
17:29Since Miss Mason is also a woman.
17:35Lady Detective.
17:37How curious.
17:38Do you often work together?
17:40I have a long-standing relationship, working relationship with Scotland Yard.
17:43Not just Inspector Blake, so...
17:45But that's why I'm here.
17:46Both of the deceased were found with the same medication, potassium bromide.
17:55Was it you who prescribed that?
17:57To control the melancholia from which they both suffered.
18:00They were also undergoing a course of electrotherapy.
18:03I used the updated adaptation of the pulver markers technique.
18:05Oh, yes, I've read about this.
18:09Patients are given electrical currents that pass through the body to the brain.
18:12It's...
18:12It's a calm the mind of agitation.
18:16All right, I told you about this.
18:19At your office.
18:20At Scotland Yard.
18:21Yes, Miss Scarlett.
18:24Thank you for reminding me.
18:26Particularly of the location of said conversation.
18:34Elizabeth Roper was seen to have some kind of convulsion before she died.
18:38Could this be linked to the treatment?
18:39Mild convulsions only occur whilst the electric current is being administered.
18:45As for the potassium bromide, it is possible, I suppose,
18:49but it would be an extreme and unusual side effect.
18:53Could someone have tampered with the medication?
18:55Unlikely.
18:56I receive it sealed from the pharmaceutical supplier.
18:59I then administer the dosage myself.
19:03We will need a list of all other patients prescribed with potassium bromide.
19:07Yes, of course.
19:09It may not be a factor, but until we see the post-mortem, we cannot be sure.
19:12Yes.
19:13You mentioned that your secretary, Miss Mason, suffers from a nervous condition.
19:17Is she also on this medication?
19:19Yes, she is.
19:21I'll add her to the list.
19:26I'll speak to Miss Mason whilst you and your men track down the other patients.
19:33What?
19:34You're so intent on keeping our relationship secret
19:37that you're in danger of broadcasting the very thing you're trying to conceal.
19:40Yes, perhaps I am being a little overly cautious.
19:43My nerves were a little freed in there.
19:45Really? I had no idea.
19:47I'll go and visit Miss Mason.
19:49Would you like a lift?
19:50No, no, no.
19:51The less we're seen together, the better.
19:54Good day, Inspector Flake.
19:54Hold the door, please.
20:15Good day, Mr Potts.
20:17Detective Willows.
20:18Unaccustomed to seeing you within these hallowed walls?
20:20Transfer from Bow Street.
20:21It's my first day today.
20:22Best of course to you.
20:23Actually, I was just coming to see you.
20:25We need to post mortems for the two women brought in this morning.
20:28I'll send word as soon as the examinations are completed,
20:31but I must warn you, we are running very much behind today.
20:33Hence why I'm here.
20:35Have you ever chance to see Mr Wormsley?
20:36Afraid not.
20:37I can find hide the hair of him.
20:39If you do happen upon him,
20:40please impress that he is needed at the mortuary most precipitously.
20:43And do use that word.
20:45I'll do my best, Mr Potts.
20:50Hello again.
20:51Did you find it at the clerical office?
20:53I did.
20:53You're a lifesaver, thanks so much.
20:55How's your first day?
20:57So far, so good.
20:59Glad to hear it.
21:00I didn't get your name.
21:03Willows.
21:03Detective Willows.
21:04George Willows.
21:06It's a lot of names.
21:08I'm just Isabel.
21:10Well, Isabel Summers.
21:11Nice to meet you, Detective George Willows.
21:38Miss Mason?
21:41Miss Mason?
21:52Who are you?
21:59Do you know that man?
22:01I believe so.
22:05I don't know his name,
22:07but he's a patient of Dr Coles.
22:08I remember seeing him a couple weeks back.
22:14He came to see Dr Cole.
22:16What did he want with me?
22:20Well, we can't be certain,
22:23but there's a chance that the two women who died
22:26had their medication poisoned.
22:28Two women?
22:29Another of Dr Cole's patients has died,
22:31as well as Miss Quayle.
22:33Yes, and Mrs Elizabeth Roper.
22:37And you think the medication may have killed them?
22:40Well, we're still waiting on the post-mortem report.
22:43I think you should stop taking your tablets
22:45until we know more.
22:51May I ask why you're taking the medication?
22:53Life has been a struggle for me.
22:57I grew up in an orphanage,
23:00and then the workhouse.
23:02And when I came of age,
23:03I left to work in a laundry,
23:06which is where Dr Cole took pity on me.
23:09He took me in,
23:12first as a housemaid,
23:13and then he trained me as his secretary.
23:20He taught me to read and write.
23:23A father couldn't have done more.
23:29You're having electrotherapy.
23:33It helps me tremendously.
23:35Dr Cole administers it.
23:38He'll know the name of the man you found here.
23:43Sounds like the man you described
23:48is Zebediah Sawyer.
23:50He's a long-standing patient of mine.
23:54Poor creature,
23:55plagued by demonic voices,
23:57telling him to cause people harm.
23:59When was the last time you saw him?
24:02Last week.
24:03He turned up at my door
24:04in an agitated state.
24:06We'd started a course of electrotherapy
24:08a few days earlier,
24:09and he was adamant it had made him worse.
24:12I offered to help him,
24:13but he wouldn't listen.
24:14He was in a blind rage.
24:16Enough to wish harm on you?
24:18An act of revenge, perhaps?
24:21Zebediah developed his condition
24:22in his early twenties,
24:23but before that,
24:24he was a functioning member of society.
24:27He had several different jobs,
24:28including being a clerk
24:30at a pharmacist's store.
24:33Could he have the skill
24:34to temper with the medication
24:35you prescribed?
24:38The bottles you found
24:39on the dead women?
24:40Could I see them?
24:45Both bottles are wrongly labelled.
24:47According to Dr. Cole,
24:49one tablet of potassium bromide
24:50is the standard daily dose.
24:52These labels say five tablets,
24:53a potentially lethal amount.
24:55Luckily,
24:56these are the only bottles affected.
24:58The other patients
24:59all had the correct dose.
25:01So this Zebediah Sawyer
25:02tampered with the labels?
25:04Perhaps there's revenge
25:05on the doctor
25:06who failed to cure him?
25:07It seems so.
25:10Any news on the post-mortems?
25:12Still waiting, sir.
25:14What on earth's going on
25:15in the city mortuary?
25:16I saw Mr. Potts earlier
25:17who was looking for Mr. Wernsey.
25:19Grayson,
25:19get yourself down
25:20to the city mortuary.
25:20Find out what's going on over there.
25:21Yes, sir.
25:27Do we have an address
25:28for Zebediah Sawyer?
25:29There are at least
25:30twelve known addresses.
25:32The man moved around a lot.
25:33It would save time
25:34if we took a few each.
25:37No, you will remain here.
25:39What? Why?
25:43Miss Scullet,
25:44the man we are hunting
25:45is extremely dangerous.
25:47Then I will be careful,
25:49as we all will.
25:51I have many resources
25:56for such scenarios.
25:57I will take some
25:58hide muscle with me.
26:03Will you bring me
26:04to the nicest place?
26:06Careful,
26:06the ones are mine, Clarence.
26:07I need two more to go.
26:09What's the next address?
26:11Uh, it's just a few doors down.
26:13Mrs. Zebediah Sawyer
26:14clearly likes this neighborhood.
26:16I'm curious,
26:17why did you bring me along with you?
26:19I was expecting to be
26:20that I wouldn't go alone.
26:22Yes, but that's my point.
26:23You've lied to the inspector
26:23many times before.
26:25It's a habit that I wish to break.
26:26Why?
26:27What's changed?
26:28Nothing's changed.
26:29I just want to tell the inspector
26:30to break the truth,
26:30that's all.
26:33Premises moved
26:33to Belmont Street.
26:37What?
26:37You're sending me to the roughest pubs
27:02this side of the city
27:02to look for a heavy drinker
27:04who hears demonic voices
27:05telling him to kill people.
27:07I'll meet you back
27:08at the office first thing.
27:09If you don't show up,
27:10I'll send out a search party.
27:11How does that sound?
27:12Unsatisfactory.
27:13Good evening, sir.
27:32I'm looking for Mrs. Potts.
27:34You found her?
27:35I consent to give you this.
27:36We need to put out an appeal for information on a man named Zebediah Sawyer.
27:40This needs typing up and circulating.
27:42Consider it done, and you are.
27:44Good evening, Detective Willows.
27:45Miss Summers, how are you setting in?
27:48Yeah, there's a lot to learn, but I think I'm getting there.
27:50She's doing very well indeed.
27:54Was there anything else, Detective Willows?
27:58No, that's all.
28:06Sir, where have you been all day?
28:16I had to go ahead and find an interim coroner in your state.
28:19Not now, Potts.
28:21Yes, now, Mr. Winsley, if you please.
28:26Sorry, sir, but I can hold my tongue no longer.
28:32Things need to be said before the good reputation of this mortuary is forever tarnished.
28:36Get that!
28:40And stay out!
28:43What the?
28:53Thank you for your time.
28:59If there's any sighting at all of Mr. Sawyer, then please contact the police immediately.
29:03He's extremely dangerous.
29:04Thank you for your time.
29:05Thank you for your time, Mr. Sawyer.
29:06Thank you for your time, Mr. Sawyer.
29:07Thank you for your time, Mr. Sawyer.
29:08Thank you for your time, Mr. Sawyer.
29:09Thank you for your time, Mr. Sawyer.
29:10Thank you for your time, Mr. Sawyer.
29:11Thank you for your time, Mr. Sawyer.
29:12Thank you for your time, Mr. Sawyer.
29:13Thank you for your time, Mr. Sawyer.
29:14Thank you for your time, Mr. Sawyer.
29:15Thank you for your time, Mr. Sawyer.
29:16Thank you for your time, Mr. Sawyer.
29:17Thank you for your time, Mr. Sawyer.
29:18Thank you for your time, Mr. Sawyer.
29:19Thank you for your time, Mr. Sawyer.
29:20Thank you for your time, Mr. Sawyer.
29:21I have a revolver
29:40and I'm not afraid to use it
29:43I'd really rather you didn't
29:48I don't
29:48Miss Scarlet
29:50I made myself look an idiot
30:03You're overreacting
30:05Do you have any idea how hard it's been for me to build my reputation
30:08only to act like some damsel in distress?
30:11I haven't even called you Alexander
30:13Detective Willows won't care
30:15He'll put it down to you being scared witless
30:18Which, by the way, is allowed
30:21since you are a mere mortal like the rest of us
30:23Tying myself in knots
30:27thinking
30:27What should I say?
30:29What should I do?
30:30How would I behave if I were a normal detective?
30:34I'm exactly where you're normal
30:34I'm more concerned that you put yourself at risk
30:40It was only luck that I was there
30:42Belmont Lodging House was on my list
30:43You said you wouldn't go alone
30:46I wasn't alone
30:47Clarence was with me for most of the time
30:50Clarence was your hired muscle
30:51Years of carrying ledgers have not gone to waste
30:55He's stronger than he looks
30:55Now I feel guilty about lying to you
31:02You see, this is impossible
31:03We cannot work together
31:04Eliza
31:04You're overreacting
31:06What if the lads just came by
31:10with a message for you, Inspector?
31:12Thank you, Mrs. Ross
31:13I have to go
31:18I've made a decision
31:21I will no longer work on the case
31:26Don't be ridiculous
31:28I want our
31:29courtship romance
31:33whatever you want to call it
31:34to have a fighting chance
31:36This is the best way
31:38Well
31:39For what it's worth
31:41I think you're wrong
31:42No one knows about us, Eliza
31:44But you must do what's right for you
31:47Have I not been like a mother to that girl
31:52Have I not been the one
31:54to pick her up when she grazed her knee
31:55or dried her eyes
31:57when Arabella Herbert
31:58called her the cruelest of names
31:59or defended her to her father
32:02when she was expelled from college
32:04again
32:05yet she tells me nothing
32:06nothing
32:07That was your day
32:09I was dismissed
32:13Mr. Wormsley
32:15finally arrived at work
32:17at five o'clock this evening
32:18Five o'clock
32:19Well, I could take no more
32:20so I gave him a piece of my mind
32:21Oh, Barnabas
32:22I am sorry
32:23You would not even allow me
32:24to collect my things
32:25Threw me out like a vagrant
32:27ruined my hat
32:28Do you know what else
32:30he called me?
32:31An exotious buffoon
32:33Will you wait and see
32:34what I call him
32:35if I ever set eyes on that man?
32:36Thirty years
32:37I have given to the city mortuary
32:39and now
32:40for the first time in my life
32:41I'm
32:41I'm unemployed
32:44Why don't you get out
32:48of these workrooms
32:49and I'll make you
32:50a nice dinner
32:50then we should talk
32:52things through
32:52over a glass of cherry
32:53by the fire
32:54Good evening
32:56What did it work?
33:00What's wrong with Barnabas?
33:03He's been sacked
33:04Sacked?
33:06That's what I said
33:07What's wrong with you?
33:10Is there anything
33:11you'd like to tell me?
33:12Like what?
33:17Dinner will be in an hour
33:19Very well
33:23Good evening sir
33:31Detective Willows
33:32What have we got?
33:34He was pulled out
33:35about an hour ago
33:35He was a gunshot wound
33:37to the head
33:37And do we know
33:39who he is?
33:41I think this is all right sir
33:42He certainly fits
33:43the description
33:44Oh
33:48Zebediah
33:49What did you do?
33:55You can confirm
33:55that this is your patient
33:56Zebediah Sawyer
33:57It is
33:59Is it possible
34:04that he could have
34:04taken his own life?
34:06The gunshot
34:07seems to have been
34:08at close range
34:08On more than one occasion
34:11he expressed suicidal thoughts
34:12That's why we started
34:14the course of electrotherapy
34:15But his drinking
34:17exacerbated his symptoms
34:19I tried to persuade him
34:22To stop
34:24But he had a chaotic mind
34:27It's late
34:32I'll come by in the morning
34:34to take a full statement
34:35Get some rest
34:38Doctor
34:38I did everything I could
34:40to help him
34:41But over the years
34:43I've come to realise
34:44that
34:44some people
34:46are beyond help
34:47It's not like you
35:00to forget your key clothes
35:01It's not like me
35:03to be suffering
35:04from alcohol poisoning
35:05As requested
35:06I visited all the public houses
35:08of the Seven Dials
35:09last night
35:10in search of this
35:11Zebediah Sawyer
35:12in one
35:12particularly grotty
35:14establishment
35:15called
35:15The Plague Pit
35:17I ran into a spot
35:18of bottle
35:19with some of the locals
35:19I honestly think
35:20I would have been safer
35:21in an actual
35:22Plague Pit
35:22I had to buy
35:24five rounds
35:25of roughest whisky
35:27for the whole pub
35:29That is the only reason
35:30I am still alive
35:31Well
35:33Thank you for your efforts
35:36The Scotland Yard
35:38are no longer
35:39in need of our services
35:40What?
35:42Why not?
35:43Well
35:43Because I just received
35:47a telegram
35:48from Inspector Blake
35:49A body was found
35:51on the riverbank
35:52last night
35:52and identified
35:53as Zebediah Sawyer
35:54Really?
35:57Clarence
35:57will you please
35:58stop questioning me
35:59every time I mention
35:59Scotland Yard
36:00or Inspector Blake
36:01All I was going to say
36:02is that according
36:03to my new friends
36:04at the Plague Pit
36:05Mr Sawyer
36:06is very much alive
36:07What?
36:08Yes
36:08He's awaiting sentencing
36:10in Manchester County Prison
36:11He's awaiting the
36:39Barnabas, I heard about your dismissal.
36:48I'm sorry.
36:50I've been instructed to come by to pick up my personal effects.
36:54Do you happen to know if Mr. Wormsley's in attendance?
36:56Well, no one appears to be here. The door was left open.
37:00Mr. Wormsley's gone out and left the door on the ledge.
37:03Not for the first time.
37:04I'm pleased that you're here because I need your assistance.
37:08I'd like to look at the photographs of two recent post-mortems the dead women brought in yesterday.
37:13I'm afraid that as a former employee, I'm no longer permitted access to the premises.
37:19Well, I won't tell if you don't.
37:21That would be a severe breach of protocol. I simply cannot.
37:24No, no, of course not.
37:29Well, I am here on official police business.
37:32So, perhaps if you assist me, then I can grant you permission.
37:38And you do need to collect your things, do you not?
37:49Very well.
37:56Miss Scarlet, would you be so kind as to grant me permission to enter the city mortuary?
38:02Permission granted, Mr. Potts.
38:03Now, then, I need your break.
38:26Dr. Cole?
38:27Miss Mason, Sarah, please put the gun down.
38:52Whatever's happened, we can talk it through.
38:54Talk to him!
38:55Not me.
38:57He's the liar.
38:58He's the one that's lied again and again and again.
39:04Put the weapon down, Miss Mason.
39:05Sarah, this is my daughter.
39:22Her mother was an inmate at an asylum where I was the residing physician.
39:29She's so beautiful.
39:37So fragile.
39:40We fell in love.
39:44I knew it was wrong, which is why I left my position and I never saw her again.
39:48I had no idea she was with child or that she died in childbirth.
39:59I only found out years later through some research I was carrying out at the Woolwich Workhouse.
40:06There I found a file on Sarah.
40:07By that time she'd left, but I was determined to find her.
40:16I was working in a laundry.
40:19It was a miserable existence.
40:22One day, Dr. Cole came to do a study on the health of the girls that worked there.
40:28He seemed to feel sorry for me in particular and took me in.
40:32He never told me who he really was.
40:38The man lying in the mortuary isn't your patient, Zebediah Sawyer, is he?
40:44Unlike the two women, he doesn't have the marks on his wrist from the electrotherapy you said you'd given him.
40:51His name is Franklin Sloan.
40:55He's a private detective who helped me track Sarah down.
40:58Two weeks ago, he showed up at my door drunk.
41:03He had gambling debts.
41:05He tried to blackmail me.
41:07I refused to pay him.
41:09But when I found out he'd visited Sarah,
41:13I knew he would reveal to her who I really was.
41:18Which is when you had the idea to blame him for the deaths of the two women.
41:21You gave him the identity of a past patient you knew was locked up in Manchester prison.
41:25So if Sloan didn't poison them, who did?
41:31It was me.
41:33I made a mistake.
41:36Got confused by the different medicine dosages and mixed up the information on the labels.
41:41All of this is my fault.
41:44I am the one to blame, not Sarah.
41:50The poor child had not long learned to read and write.
41:54I pushed her.
41:57Too hard.
42:00Gave her too much responsibility.
42:04I was just so proud of her.
42:06So you blamed Sloan to protect your daughter.
42:11Then you killed him.
42:13Not before he told Miss Mason the truth.
42:19This morning,
42:20I woke up to find an envelope had been slipped under my door in the night.
42:26And it was a file
42:27where I learned that
42:30Dr. Cole was my father.
42:36I was so angry
42:38and confused.
42:40In a rage,
42:42she picked up my revolver.
42:44She didn't mean to hurt me.
42:46The same revolver used to put a bullet in Sloan's head.
42:49So what happens now?
43:01Well, given the circumstances,
43:02if Miss Mason puts in a guilty plea,
43:04I'm plenty sure she'll live with a prison sentence.
43:07Dr. Cole, on the other hand.
43:11Do you still have that whiskey in your office?
43:13Are you suggesting being seen entering my office?
43:16Together.
43:17Very funny.
43:19Good night, Detective Willows.
43:27Miss Summers,
43:27good night to you.
43:31Was there anything else you wanted to say to me?
43:34Or ask me?
43:36No, I don't think so.
43:38Shame.
43:40Because I'm free this evening.
43:43I'm afraid I'm not.
43:44I have to pick up the baby from the minders.
43:46Oh, I didn't realise.
43:48She's not mine.
43:49She's my sister.
43:50She lives with me.
43:51It's a long story.
43:53Well, good night, Detective Willows.
43:57But I'm free tomorrow night.
44:00I'm glad you changed your mind about working the case.
44:16The outcome could have been very different.
44:19It would have worked it out.
44:20It would have worked it out.
44:22Probably, yes.
44:25Eliza.
44:27You don't need to say it.
44:29You didn't know what I was going to say.
44:31You're going to say that me believing I could keep us in some sort of bubble is not only childish but unrealistic.
44:36I was going to say, as an ex-military man, structure and control run through my veins.
44:47But over the years I've learned that trying to control too much of your life is futile.
44:51And when you stop trying to do so, that's where the real freedom lies.
45:01Oh, and there's one more thing.
45:03Goodness, I don't know how much more wisdom I can take.
45:05The burden of this situation might be eased if you were to confide in someone.
45:12Someone other than me.
45:23Barnabas!
45:30Barnabas!
45:32You're cooking dinner.
45:33Indeed I am, my beloved.
45:36Now, sit down, put your feet up, and I'll go and fetch you a nice glass of sherry.
45:41What's put all this on?
45:43I've decided there's no point in moping about.
45:45So, until I receive a full and satisfactory apology from Mr Wormsley,
45:50I shall be in charge of household duties.
45:52I'm rather looking forward to giving this kitchen a spring clean,
45:55perhaps even a little rearranging.
45:58Oh, that's the stew.
46:01Gently simmering.
46:02So, before I add my dumplings, just enough time to fetch that sherry bottle, my jewels.
46:10Oh, excuse me.
46:13Nice to see him so contented again.
46:14Ivy, there's something that I need to tell you about myself and Inspector Blake.
46:25I'm listening.
46:29Well, he's coming to dinner, so we need to set an extra place.
46:31We are currently enjoying a quiet, very private courtship.
46:48Goodness me, I had no idea.
46:50You're a terrible liar.
46:52And you shouldn't have kept it from me.
46:54And you shouldn't be listening at doors.
46:56You and Inspector Blake.
46:58That is music to my ears.
47:02But please, keep it to yourself for now.
47:03We're still working out our arrangement.
47:05My lips are sealed.
47:06Bottle of sherry.
47:10Barnabas, Inspector Blake is joining us for dinner.
47:12Ha!
47:13I invited him.
47:16The more, the merrier.
47:18We can enjoy a nice long game of gingerummy after dinner.
47:21The four of us, all evening, putting the world to rights.
47:24Oh, what that'd be marvellous.
47:26Marvellous.
47:28Marvellous.
47:28Marvellous.
47:29Marvellous.
47:30Marvellous.
