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