00:00Frim, I'm arresting you for aiding in escape from lawful custody.
00:04Perhaps you should take a break from the writing.
00:06I will not go back to that mortuary until Mr. Wormsley has offered me a full apology.
00:10I can assure you Inspector Blake and I are in the best of terms, professionally speaking.
00:13Have you lost your mind? Think of the damage to your reputation!
00:30I can assure you of the truth.
00:34I am a stranger.
00:38I am a stranger.
00:42I am a stranger.
00:46I am a stranger.
00:50I am a stranger.
00:54I am a stranger.
00:58I don't know.
01:28I don't know.
01:58Hello?
02:05Who's there?
02:17Alexander?
02:21What are you doing here?
02:24Well, it seems an urgent night to come to this address.
02:26As did I.
02:28Condemned asylum.
02:30Think of nicer places to meet.
02:32Welcome to my office.
02:39Miss Scarlet.
02:40Inspector Blick.
02:41Do appreciate your punctuality.
02:43Miss Scott?
02:44Yes.
02:45That's what you call me, isn't it?
02:46I use so many names it's hard to keep track.
02:51Oh, I do apologize for the surroundings.
02:52What they're lacking comfort they make up for in discretion.
02:54You've summoned us here on government business.
02:55Please.
02:56As you know, my department deals with international espionage, not murder investigations.
03:03You will have read about the death of Sir Joseph Milner, Under Secretary at the Foreign Office.
03:10On the face of it, there are no suspicious circumstances, but Sir Joseph spent much of his time moving between the foreign embassies.
03:17So I am duty bound to make sure there is no foul play.
03:32Your assistance in this matter will of course be rewarded with a generous increase in manpower and resources in your next budget review.
03:41And for you, Miss Scarlet, shall we say, double your usual fee?
03:51In return, I want a full written report on the circumstances of Sir Joseph's death.
03:56For my eyes only, of course.
03:59This investigation is strictly off the books.
04:03Do whatever you need to do.
04:05Just, um, be discreet.
04:09Oh!
04:11There is one more thing.
04:13That unpleasant business of the young lady caught spying around Scotland Yard means there will be some changes coming down the line.
04:20All officers will be made to sign a declaration of interest outlining any relationships with those they deal with in the line of duty.
04:29So, given the two of you are now romantically involved, this will be the last time you work together.
04:42Hm.
04:51Drink?
04:52Drink?
04:53Drink, hot, double.
05:22We knew we couldn't keep it quiet forever.
05:48We'll be fine.
05:49I guess what my business may not.
05:55Losing Scotland Yard as a client.
05:56And there I was thinking you're worried about us.
06:01I'm teasing you, Eliza.
06:02Don't, you know, I don't like it.
06:05I know how hard you've worked to build your business.
06:09I really am sorry.
06:12I know you are.
06:17To our last case.
06:19Our last case.
06:21Whatever the future brings, you will prevail.
06:24And if you don't, you can always blame me.
06:28Thank you, Mr. Victor Blake, I appreciate it.
06:31Well, if this is to be our last case, we'd better make it count.
06:43How do we investigate the death of a government minister discreetly?
06:58We tread carefully and use people we can trust.
07:03Clarence with my life as well as my ledges.
07:05And someone else comes to mind too.
07:10So Joseph Milner was a senior minister at the Foreign Office, right-hand man to the Foreign Secretary.
07:25Yes, I read about him.
07:27He died from a hunting accident.
07:40The official story is he fell from his horse, cut his leg, the wound got infected, he developed
07:46a fever, dying a few days later.
07:47Official story?
07:48That's not what happened.
07:49That's what we intend to find out.
07:50Oh, you think perhaps he was murdered?
07:51What makes you think that?
07:52Well, we can't go into detail.
07:53Not yet, at least.
07:54Sir Joseph, mixed at the highest levels of Parliament, Whitehall, any number of foreign embassies,
07:59we cannot simply turn up and start asking questions.
08:01Which is why we'll have a cover.
08:02We'll say we're investigating a spate of street thefts in Westminster and Mayfair.
08:07My father did this once when his prime suspect was from a powerful family.
08:11And it worked?
08:12With a little help from me.
08:14Well, I'm sorry.
08:15I'm sorry.
08:16I'm sorry.
08:17I'm sorry.
08:18With a little help from me.
08:22The area of our bogus street thefts will include Park Lane, where Sir Joseph lived,
08:27as well as the government offices in Whitehall and the embassies he frequented.
08:32We need you two to poke around at the areas that require, well, less conventional methods.
08:38Myself and Inspector Blake will deal with the face-to-face interviews, gaining access to the premises to see what we can learn about Sir Joseph.
08:43And to avoid suspicion, we'll have an increased uniform presence on the streets,
08:47just as we would in a genuine investigation.
08:49So this is to stay strictly between the four of us?
08:51Five.
08:52I have a man on the inside.
08:54The robberies took place in Mayfair and Westminster,
08:57so there will be extra patrols on the street.
08:59Anyone who looks suspicious, or anyone who thinks may have seen something,
09:02pull them over, see what they have to say.
09:04Yeah, right.
09:05I have a question, sir.
09:06I haven't heard anything about these robberies.
09:09Uh, me neither.
09:10Where are the incident reports?
09:12There's a backlog in the clerical office.
09:16No doubt the incident reports are being processed as we speak.
09:22And those two case files you wanted?
09:24Thanks, lady.
09:26Do you have a moment, Mrs Potts?
09:27Of course, Detective Willis.
09:34I need some incident reports.
09:36Oh, if you'd just give me the reference numbers, I can find them for you right away.
09:39It's...
09:42It's a little more complicated than that.
09:43A delicate matter that requires the utmost discretion.
09:51Ladies, listen up.
09:53There's been a spate of street thefts,
09:55and Detective Willis is making this a top priority.
09:59So we need to stop what we're doing
10:01and type up the incident report right away.
10:04Yes, ma'am.
10:05Yes, ma'am.
10:06Yes, ma'am.
10:12It's up and down this road here.
10:13You can see anything as...
10:15It's fine.
10:19It's fine.
10:30I have heard of no robberies on the street.
10:33It was mostly in the neighbouring area.
10:36But the Metropolitan Police like to be thorough.
10:40In truth, it is no surprise that I have heard nothing.
10:42My employer died last week, and I have barely left this house.
10:47There is so much to do.
10:51I'm very sorry to hear that, sir.
10:56It was a shock to the entire staff.
10:59Sir Joseph was a good man.
11:02This particular gang liked to target wealthy gentlemen and follow them to their residence.
11:08Such evil in this world.
11:11I couldn't agree more, Mr Lawrence.
11:15Perhaps you could summarise Sir Joseph's daily routine in the event the thieves had been following him.
11:21Sir Joseph would go to Whitehall to work, and then to various embassies around the city.
11:28You'd come back late with...
11:31With...
11:35He enjoyed the company of ladies.
11:38That is all I shall say.
11:39There visited at least a dozen of the embassies, but could find nothing of interest about Sir Joseph.
11:55Seemed affable enough.
11:57What did they say?
11:58Quiet.
11:59Well-mannered.
12:00Well-mannered.
12:01Not given to voicing strong opinions.
12:03He was a politician.
12:04Well, exactly.
12:05Butler said much the same.
12:06Although there was one thing of interest.
12:08Apparently, Sir Joseph liked female company.
12:12Lovers or ladies of the night?
12:13He wouldn't say.
12:14I tried to press him, but he wouldn't give details.
12:15He may wish to preserve his reputation.
12:16No-one wants a butler who gossips.
12:17No-one wants a butler who gossips.
12:18No, but something else.
12:19Something I can't put my finger on.
12:24What?
12:25Nothing.
12:26What?
12:27I'll miss this.
12:28Us working together.
12:29So, you were saying?
12:30I'll miss this.
12:34Us working together.
12:36So, you were saying?
12:37No.
12:38No, no.
12:39No.
12:40No.
12:41No.
12:42No.
12:43No, no.
12:44No.
12:45No, no.
12:46No.
12:47No.
12:48No.
12:49No, no.
12:50No.
12:51No.
12:52No.
12:53No.
12:54No.
12:55No.
12:56No.
12:57No.
12:59We need to see the coroner's report into Sir Joseph's death.
13:03I can't request a fire from the mortuary. It will cause suspicion.
13:07We need someone that we can trust.
13:10I trust Barnabas Potts.
13:12He's adamant he won't return to work until Mr. Wormsley has apologized.
13:16God knows Ivy's tried.
13:18There's no one else who might persuade him?
13:22Perhaps Mr. Potts isn't the one who needs persuading.
13:28Mr. Wormsley?
13:42Yes?
13:43So good to finally meet you.
13:46I do feel like I know you already.
13:49I've been asking around about you and meant a great deal.
13:52Where you go?
13:54What you do?
13:55Who will you meet?
13:58It's all down here.
14:03A complete list of everything you've been up to.
14:07Perhaps Mrs. Wormsley might be interested in a coffee too.
14:15What do you want?
14:18I want to talk to you about a friend of mine.
14:21Mr. Potts, it is grand to see you back.
14:40Oh, it's good to be back, Detective Willows.
14:44Mr. Wormsley's change of heart was most unexpected, but to his credit, he apologized several times, in fact, most profusely.
14:52He insisted I return to work immediately and practically dragged me from the house.
14:57And I know why.
14:59You do?
14:59The place is in total disarray and in need of urgent attention.
15:05But as I always say...
15:07The world is going to hell in a handcart.
15:09If you want something doing, ask a busy person.
15:12I just...
15:12Well, it is lucky for me that you're here, Mr. Potts, because there's a coroner's report I need to see.
15:16Now, the deceased in question...
15:17Well, let's just say it's a confidential matter and one that demands your utmost discretion.
15:34I got your message.
15:36Is this him?
15:37He's been delivering coal to the Joseph's house twice a week for the past three years.
15:41I thought he could give us some insight into the minister's domestic staff.
15:45If this gentleman, for want of a better word, has a criminal record for assault, he broke a man's arm in an arm wrestling match.
15:55Well, he's a big man.
15:57No, he didn't win. He lost.
15:59That's why he broke his opponent's arm.
16:01But he failed to declare his criminal record when he took a job delivering coal to a government minister.
16:07I thought he could give us useful leverage when we question him.
16:11A man like that won't take too kindly to leverage.
16:15Well, just to confirm, should this turn into a physical confrontation, that is very much your department, not mine.
16:31Leave it with me.
16:35Last chance, gents.
16:36Last chance.
16:36He'll shut up.
16:37He's about to start.
16:38Come on.
16:39Come on.
16:40Come on.
16:53Come on.
16:56I am no match for you, my friend.
17:20Drink?
17:23That would be more swell, Carl.
17:26Ah!
17:38Mrs Potts, I just wanted to thank you for your assistance and for your discretion.
17:44Oh, it's my pleasure, Detective Willows.
17:46In all honesty, I quite enjoyed it.
17:48While you're here, the applicant's new office manager, they need security clearance.
17:53The powers that be have been extra cautious after what happened with Miss Summers.
17:59Oh, I am sorry. That was insensitive of me.
18:02No.
18:03I'm the one who should apologise. I should have seen through her.
18:07No, you weren't the only one taken in by her.
18:10It wasn't your fault.
18:11Well, let's hope the disciplinary board agree.
18:13You're one of the best officers we have, Detective Willows.
18:16Yes. I'm sure they'll see that.
18:21Thank you, Mrs Potts.
18:31So, here's what we know.
18:33Sir Joseph liked the women.
18:35And his butler slightly shifty.
18:38Is that it?
18:39Afraid so.
18:39Although, I could have also known that you look beautiful today.
18:44Today?
18:46So, not yesterday?
18:48Has anyone ever told you you can be rather demanding?
18:51Constantly.
18:55Oh, please tell us you have something.
18:57I spoke to the man who delivers the coal to Sir Joseph's house.
19:01After a few drinks, he got loose-lipped.
19:04Told me there's a butler there, a Mr Lawrence.
19:06I spoke to him today.
19:10Apparently, none of the other servants like him.
19:14Rumour has it, Sir Joseph accused him of theft and planned to dismiss him.
19:19But then, the minister opt and croaked it.
19:26And there's something else?
19:29Even though he lives in a servant's quarters, Mr Lawrence rents a lodging room in Whitechapel.
19:35Do you have the address?
19:36Of course he does.
19:38Of course he does.
19:54Mr Lawrence?
19:54Ladies first.
20:12Thank you, Inspector Blake.
20:13Mr Lawrence.
20:25Mr Lawrence.
20:26How is he?
20:46The doctor isn't sure what's wrong with him.
20:49He has a fever, breathing problems and muscle spasms in his neck and jaw.
20:53Sounds like tetanus.
20:54Are they considering it?
20:56I can't see any wounds on his body that would trigger the infection.
20:59Mr. Scarlett? Sir?
21:01I have the corridor's report, Mr. Joseph.
21:04It's believed that the cut he sustained falling from his horse may have caused an infection.
21:08The cause of death was given as cardiac arrest, most likely due to tetanus.
21:12So Joseph and his butler both were suspected tetanus?
21:17Bit odd, isn't it? Given that it's not infectious.
21:20Odd and unlikely.
21:22Mr. Potts said there was something else that caused those symptoms.
21:25Strictly poisoning.
21:27Mr. Wormsley was most keen to hear all about my ideas for improving the mortuary.
21:39I must say he's a changed man.
21:42Oh, it's good indeed to be back.
21:44But alas, I shall have to withdraw my application to be office manager at Scotland Yard.
21:51I'm so sorry to disappoint you, my jewel. I know how much you are relishing us working together.
21:58Scotland Yard's loss is the mortuary's game, Barnabas.
22:02Thank you, my beloved. Thank you.
22:07Right. I have an extremely long to-do list.
22:11This great city of ours seems to increase its supply of the dead each and every day.
22:16But as I always, I...
22:18If you want something doing, ask a busy person.
22:20No. We're just going to head in the handcart.
22:26It's nice to have my happy Barnabas back again.
22:30Now we just need to work on you.
22:33I'm fine.
22:35Then why does your face tell me otherwise?
22:37You'd be very quiet.
22:46There are changes coming at Scotland Yard.
22:50Inspector Blake will have to declare our relationship and we will no longer be able to work together.
22:57Well, I suppose it couldn't stay secret forever.
23:00Yes, but losing Scotland Yard as a client will be a loss indeed.
23:03When you were a little girl...
23:06Please don't say it.
23:07You don't know what I was going to say.
23:08When I was a little girl, I had a similar problem.
23:11I overcame that problem and learned a lesson I can use as an adult.
23:15I wasn't going to say that.
23:16Yes, you were.
23:18How many formative experiences can one child have?
23:22I wish you were still a child.
23:24I put you over my knee for being so rude.
23:33You know a gentleman covers his mouth when he yawns.
23:55The gentleman doesn't stay up all night doing background checks.
24:00What did you find?
24:03Nothing.
24:08All Sir Joseph's household staff were clean.
24:14I'm getting too old for this.
24:17Are you taking a nap?
24:18In here?
24:19Yes!
24:21If you stop talking.
24:24This is a place of work, not a lodging house.
24:34Aha!
24:37I think I found something.
24:39Just before he died, a large transfer of money was made from Sir Joseph's bank account to a small German bank in the city.
24:48We need to find out who this bank account belongs to.
24:54Come along.
24:56No time to rest.
25:00Hurry up!
25:05It was here Mr Lawrence collapsed, so I would wager it was poison.
25:10Someone would use strychnine as their poison of choice.
25:15I imagine they'd put it in food or drink.
25:18The question is, who would want to poison the butler and his employer?
25:23And his employer.
25:31I almost told Sophia about us last night.
25:35What, almost?
25:37I'd like to do it together.
25:41I hope she takes it well.
25:43She's certainly very fond of you.
25:45She thinks you're funny.
25:47Funny?
25:48Is it odd?
25:50Funny isn't amusing.
25:51Although you are a little odd.
26:06Alexander.
26:10That's an awful lot of watches for one man.
26:13Especially for someone on a butler's wage.
26:16What's this?
26:18Cooling cards.
26:19Countess Polchek.
26:25Russian Embassy.
26:32There has been a recent spate of robberies in the area, Ambassador Polchek.
26:37I have heard nothing of these robberies of which you speak.
26:42The thieves have been targeting ladies mostly, which is why Miss Scarlet is helping Scotland Yard with our inquiries.
26:49During our investigations we were able to recover some of the stolen items.
26:53One of which is a silver card holder, belonging to Countess Polchek.
26:58Is she a relative of yours?
26:59She's my wife.
27:00But I have no knowledge of her being robbed.
27:01Well perhaps we could speak to her.
27:02She's not here.
27:03Do you know when she'll be back?
27:04Do you know when she'll be back?
27:05My wife and I, we have parted ways.
27:10She has returned to Russia.
27:11That is all I wish to say on the matter.
27:16It's not our intention to cause you embarrassment or distress, sir.
27:17But could you give us a sense of your wife's movements in the last few weeks?
27:22I suppose if I don't tell you, some gossiping servant will.
27:23I suppose if I don't tell you, some gossiping servant will.
27:52She had been seeing a lover.
27:55Sir Joseph Milner.
28:00I can only assume that the calling cards were stolen from his residence.
28:05You are aware Sir Joseph passed away last week?
28:08I am.
28:10And for full disclosure, I did visit him a few days before he died.
28:15I was going to warn him to stay away from my wife.
28:18But when I arrived, he was outside his house in the middle of some kind of argument.
28:28What kind of argument?
28:30He was on the street with two men.
28:35They seemed frustrated with him.
28:38One started shouting.
28:40I couldn't understand what they were saying.
28:43It was not in English.
28:45What language was it?
28:46It was, I believe, German.
28:51Name an address of the account holder that Sir Joseph made payments to.
29:08How did you get that?
29:11Too charm and charisma.
29:12All right, fine, I bribe the teller.
29:17The account belongs to a Mr. Klaus Lang.
29:21He's been visiting the bank every week to withdraw £100 on each visit.
29:26Always on the same day, always at the same time, and always with an associate.
29:30So, you pay a visit to this address, I shall head back to the office to carry on digging into Sir Joseph's finances.
29:36What?
29:38What?
29:40None.
29:42You're impressed, don't you?
29:46I can tell.
29:48Perhaps.
29:50Perhaps.
30:06Sir Joseph did not pay well.
30:08I've no regrets about stealing from him.
30:10One of the items you stole was a silver case containing the cooling cards of the Russian Ambassador's wife.
30:18She left her bag at the house one evening.
30:21You are aware they were having an affair?
30:24Of course.
30:25She wasn't the first.
30:27Believe me.
30:29What of these two German men Sir Joseph was arguing with the day before he died?
30:35I was not there.
30:36It was my day off.
30:42Talk us through the hours before you became ill.
30:45Everything you did.
30:49I finished work about nine o'clock, then went back to my lodging room.
30:54I needed some money that I'd kept there.
30:58I rested a while.
31:00Smoked a pipe.
31:02Then, the next thing I remember, I was gasping for breath and everything went black.
31:07Where did you get the tobacco from?
31:11It was from a pouch I stole from Sir Joseph.
31:23Mr Potts, part of this.
31:37I'm here because I have a theory and I'm in need of your advice.
31:41Well...
31:42And yes, I'm aware that I have not given 24 hours' notice of my arrival.
31:45And yes, I am aware that there is a strict protocol, but...
31:48Protocol be damned.
31:49You're always welcome here, Eliza.
31:51Come in!
31:54Come in!
31:59Ah, strict name.
32:01It would usually be found in the stomach and intestines of a cadaver.
32:06Assuming it had been ingested, which is the most common form of poisoning.
32:10What if you inhaled it?
32:13Teotihuacca?
32:15Oh, yes. That would work.
32:18Rather rapidly too.
32:20Of course, the expert in such matters is Mr Wormsley.
32:24And he seems rather on edge recently.
32:26Perhaps the joy of my return has overwhelmed him.
32:30Well, I'd rather we get this conversation to ourselves.
32:33My questions are related to a rather highly confidential case.
32:36One which myself and Inspector Blake were like your opinion.
32:39And yours alone.
32:41Inspector Blake asked for me.
32:43Personally.
32:44He did?
32:48Then I'm at your disposal.
32:53We shall start with the basics of toxicology.
32:57Dosage, absorption, exposure.
33:09Pull out anyone with a German background, particularly those with convictions for violent crime.
33:15Mrs Potts.
33:17You take the A's.
33:19Willows.
33:21The B's.
33:23And keep going till we run out of alphabet.
33:24This is going to be thirsty work.
33:33How about I organize a nice cup of tea for us all?
33:36Oh, sounds like a very sensible plan, Mrs Potts.
33:40Right.
33:48I understand the disciplinary board wrote to you.
33:50Yes, sir.
33:52Hearing's in a couple of days.
33:54How are you feeling about it all?
33:57Haven't slept in a week.
33:59Haven't eaten much either.
34:02My sister says I'm like a bear with a sore head.
34:07Apart from that, I'm doing fine, sir.
34:10Well, I'll be there to speak for you.
34:12And in the meantime, try not to dwell on it.
34:14My sister also said that.
34:16Sounds like a wise woman, Detective Willows.
34:21I wanted to give you an update on the case.
34:24Was Sir Joseph murdered?
34:28I believe so, yes.
34:30You have evidence?
34:32We're working on it.
34:34Inspector Blake and I will have a full report for you soon.
34:41Are you in love with him?
34:43Pardon?
34:45It's a simple question.
34:47And one that bears no relevance to the investigation.
34:50I'll take that as a yes.
34:52So, may I give you some advice?
34:54As two women working in the underbelly of this great city,
34:59I am sure we have faced similar challenges.
35:01One of which being loneliness.
35:03And, of course, each man carries his own merits when it comes to passing the short amount of time we have on this earth.
35:13But to love someone fully, completely, that would be a mistake.
35:22For a woman, financial independence is everything.
35:29Do not make the mistake of trusting in a man.
35:35Any man.
35:37They will always put their own needs above ours.
35:42Without exception.
35:47It's a rather bleak view.
35:50And one that I don't share.
35:57Yes, you do.
36:06Yes.
36:17Yes, Jesus.
36:18Yes, yes, yes.
36:20Yes, yes.
36:22Yes, finally.
36:24Next uma semana depois.
