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

49:39charge

49:41I'm rather
49:42looking forward
49:42to giving
49:42this kitchen
