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!
00:30To be continued...
01:00I don't know.
01:30I don't know.
02:00I don't know.
02:01Hello?
02:05Who's there?
02:19Alexander?
02:21What are you doing here?
02:22Seems an urgent night to come to this address.
02:23As did I.
02:24Condemned asylum.
02:25Think of nicer places to meet.
02:28Welcome to my office.
02:29Miss Scarlet.
02:30Inspector Blick.
02:31Do appreciate your punctuality.
02:32Miss Scott?
02:33Yes.
02:34That's what you call me, isn't it?
02:35I use so many names it's hard to keep track.
02:40Oh, I do apologize for the surroundings.
02:41What they're lacking comfort they make up for in discretion.
02:43You've summoned us here on government business.
02:44Please.
02:45As you know, my department deals with international espionage, not murder investigations.
02:46You've summoned us here on government business.
02:47You've summoned us here on government business.
02:49Please.
02:50As you know, my department deals with international espionage, not murder investigations.
02:56You will have read about the death of Sir Joseph Milner, Under-Secretary at the Foreign Office.
02:57On the face of it, there are no suspicious circumstances.
02:58But...
02:59...the death of Sir Joseph Milner, Under-Secretary at the Foreign Office.
03:00On the face of it, there are no suspicious circumstances.
03:01But...
03:12...Sir Joseph spent much of his time moving between the foreign embassies.
03:17So, I'm here to go, Mr.anal.
03:20The death of Sir Joseph Milner, Under-Secretary at the Foreign Office,
03:23I know it's been a bit hard to say that I don't have done enough to do at all the time.
03:29So I am duty-bound to make sure there is no foul play.
03:34Your assistance in this matter will, of course, be rewarded
03:38with a generous increase in manpower and resources in your next budget review.
03:44And 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.
04:04Do whatever you need to do. Just, um, be discreet.
04:10Oh! There is one more thing.
04:14That unpleasant business of the young lady caught spying around Scotland Yard
04:18means there will be some changes coming down the line.
04:22All officers will be made to sign a declaration of interest
04:25outlining any relationships with those they deal with in the line of duty.
04:31So, given the two of you are now romantically involved,
04:38this will be the last time you work together.
04:43Comes in plin fum the street that will pass on time
04:45Here.
04:49Drink?
04:53Bring your head double.
05:00whooing
05:01star
05:04Music
05:07Name
05:10Son
05:41We knew we couldn't keep it quiet forever. We'll be fine.
05:51I guess what my business may not. Losing Scotland Yard as a client.
05:56There I was thinking you're worried about us. I'm teasing you, Eliza.
06:03Don't, you know, I don't like it.
06:05I know how hard you've worked to build your business. I really am sorry.
06:12I know you are.
06:16To our last case.
06:19Our last case.
06:21Whatever the future brings, you will prevail.
06:26And if you don't, you can always blame me.
06:29Thank you, Mr. Dr. Blake. I appreciate it.
06:31Well, if this is to be our last case, we'd better make it count.
06:51How do we investigate the death of a government minister discreetly?
06:58We tread carefully and use people we can trust.
07:02I trust Clarence with my life as well as my ledgers.
07:05And someone else comes to mind, too.
07:08Sir Joseph Milner was a senior minister at the Foreign Office, right-hand man to the Foreign Secretary.
07:38Yes, I read about him. He died from a hunting accident.
07:42The official story is he fell from his horse, cut his leg, the wound got infected, he developed a fever, dying a few days later.
07:49Official story? That's not what happened.
07:52That's what we intend to find out.
07:54Oh, you think perhaps he was murdered. What makes you think that?
07:56Well, we can't go into detail. Not yet, at least.
08:00Sir Joseph, mixed at the highest levels of Parliament, Whitehall, any number of foreign embassies,
08:05we cannot simply turn up and start asking questions.
08:07Which is why we'll have a cover.
08:09We'll say we're investigating a spate of street thefts in Westminster and Mayfair.
08:13My father did this once when his prime suspect was from a powerful family.
08:17And it worked?
08:17With a little help from me.
08:23The 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.
08:39Myself and Inspector Blake will deal with the face-to-face interviews,
08:41gaining access to the premises to see what we can learn about Sir Joseph.
08:44And to avoid suspicion, we'll have an increased uniform presence on the streets,
08:48just as we would in a genuine investigation.
08:50So this is to stay strictly between the four of us?
08:53Five. I have a man on the inside.
08:55The robberies took place in Mayfair and Westminster,
08:58so there will be extra patrols on the street.
09:00Anyone who looks suspicious, or anyone who thinks may have seen something,
09:03pull them over, see what they have to say.
09:05Yeah, right, guys.
09:05I have a question, sir.
09:08I haven't heard anything about these robberies.
09:10Me neither. Where are the incident reports?
09:14There's a backlog in the clerical office.
09:17No doubt the incident reports are being processed as we speak.
09:23And those two case files you wanted?
09:26Thanks, lady.
09:27Do you have a moment, Mrs Potts?
09:28Of course, Detective Willis.
09:30I need some incident reports.
09:37Oh, if you just give me the reference numbers, I can find them for you right away.
09:40It's...
09:41It's a little more complicated than that.
09:44A delicate matter that requires the utmost discretion.
09:51Ladies, loosen up.
09:54There's been a spate of street peps,
09:55and Detective Willis is making this a top priority.
10:00So we need to stop what we're doing
10:01and type up the incident report right away.
10:05Yes, ma'am.
10:05Yes, ma'am.
10:11It's up and down this road here.
10:13I don't see anything at all.
10:13I have heard of no robberies on this street.
10:32It was mostly in the neighbouring area.
10:35But the Metropolitan Police like to be thorough.
10:39In 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.
10:48I'm very sorry to hear that, sir.
10:56It was a shock to the entire staff.
10:59Sir Joseph was a good man.
11:03This particular gang liked to target wealthy gentlemen
11:06and follow them to their residence.
11:08Such evil in this world.
11:11I couldn't agree more, Mr Lawrence.
11:13Perhaps you could summarise Sir Joseph's daily routine
11:17in the event the thieves had been following him.
11:21Sir Joseph would go to Whitehall to work
11:24and then to various embassies around the city.
11:28He'd come back late with...
11:31With...
11:36He enjoyed the company of ladies.
11:38That is all I shall say.
11:43There visited at least a dozen of the embassies,
11:52but could find nothing of interest about Sir Joseph.
11:55Seemed affable enough.
11:57What did they say?
11:58Quiet, well-mannered,
12:01not given to voicing strong opinions.
12:04He was a politician.
12:06Exactly.
12:07Butler said much the same.
12:08Although there was one thing of interest.
12:10Apparently, Sir Joseph liked female company.
12:15Lovers or ladies of the night?
12:17He wouldn't say.
12:18I tried to press him, but he wouldn't give details.
12:21He may wish to preserve his reputation.
12:25No one wants a butler who gossips.
12:27No, but it's something else.
12:29Something I can't put my finger on.
12:37What?
12:38Nothing.
12:42What?
12:47I'll miss this.
12:49Us working together.
12:57So, you were saying?
12:59We need to see the coroner's report into Sir Joseph's death.
13:02I can't request a fire from the mortuary of a court 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 apologised.
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.
13:25Mr. Wormsley?
13:41Yes.
13:42So good to finally meet you.
13:46I do feel like I know you already.
13:49I've been asking around about you and learnt a great deal.
13:52Where you go?
13:54What you do?
13:55Well, who are you, mate?
14:00It'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.
14:12What do you want?
14:18I want to talk to you about a friend I've made.
14:26Oh, what a muddle indeed.
14:36Mr. 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.
14:47But to his credit, he apologised.
14:49Several times, in fact, most profusely.
14:52He insisted I return to work immediately
14:53and practically dragged me from the house.
14:57And I know why.
14:59You do?
15:01The 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,
15:14because there's a coroner's report I need to see.
15:16Now, the deceased in question...
15:18Well, let's just say it's a confidential matter.
15:21And one that demands your utmost discretion.
15:24I got your message.
15:36Is this him?
15:36He'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.
15:46This gentleman, for want of a better word, has a criminal record for assault.
15:51He broke a man's arm in an arm wrestling match.
15:54Well, he's a big man.
15:57I mean, 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.
16:08I thought he could give us useful leverage when we question him.
16:11A man like that won't take too kindly to leverage.
16:14Well, just to confirm, should this turn into a physical confrontation, that is very much your department, not mine.
16:31Leave it with me.
16:34Last chance, gents. Last chance.
16:36Shut up. It's about to start.
16:38Come on. Come on.
16:44Come on.
17:14I'm not much for you, my friend.
17:20Drink?
17:23That would be more swell than coal.
17:38Mrs. Potts.
17:40I just wanted to thank you for your assistance and for your discretion.
17:44Oh, it's my pleasure, Detective Willows. In all honesty, I quite enjoyed it.
17:48Oh, while you're here, the applicant's new office manager, they need security clearance.
17:54The powers that be have been extra cautious after what happened with Miss Summers.
17:57Oh, I am sorry. That was insensitive of me.
18:01No.
18:03I'm the one who should apologise. I should have seen through her.
18:07No.
18:07You weren't the only one taken in by her.
18:09It 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.
18:17I'm sure they'll see that.
18:18Thank you, Mrs. Potts.
18:31So, here's what we know.
18:33Sir Joseph liked the women.
18:35And his butler's slightly shifty.
18:38Is that it?
18:39Afraid so.
18:41Although I could also imagine 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.
19:14Rumor 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.
20:26Mr. Lawrence.
20:31Mr. Lawrence.
20:35Mr. Lawrence.
20:36He has a fever, breathing problems, and muscle spasms in his neck and jaw.
20:52sounds like tetanus they're considering it i can't see any wounds on his body that would
20:58trigger the infection mr garland sir i have the corridor's report mr joseph it's believed that
21:05the cut he sustained falling from his horse may have caused an infection the cause of death was
21:09given as cardiac arrest most likely due to tetanus so joseph and his butler both were suspected
21:15tetanus bit odd isn't it given that it's not infectious odd and unlikely mr potts said
21:23there was something else that caused those symptoms strickening poisoning
21:28mr wormsley was most keen to hear all about my ideas for improving the mortuary
21:39i must say he's a changed man oh it's good indeed to be back but alas i shall have to withdraw my
21:49application to be office manager at scotland yard i'm so sorry to disappoint you my jewel i know how
21:55much you were relishing us working together scotland yard's loss is the mortuary's game barnabas
22:03thank you my beloved thank you right now i have an extremely long to-do list this great city of
22:13ours seems to increase its supply of the dead each and every day but as i always say if you want
22:19something doing ask a busy person no we're just going to head in the handcart
22:23it's nice to have my happy barnabas back again now we just need to work on you
22:33i'm fine then why does your face tell me otherwise you've been very quiet
22:40there are changes coming at scotland yard
22:49inspector blake will have to declare our relationship and we will no longer be able
22:54to work together
22:54well i suppose it couldn't stay secret forever yes but losing scotland yard as a client will be a loss
23:03indeed when you were a little girl please don't say it you don't know what i was going to say
23:09when i was a little girl i had a similar problem i overcame that problem and learned a lesson i can
23:13use as an adult i wasn't going to say that yes you were
23:17how many formative experiences can one child have
23:21i wish you were still a child i put you over my knee for being so rude
23:26you know a gentleman covers his mouth when he yawns
23:54gentleman doesn't stay up all night doing background checks
24:01what did you find
24:04nothing
24:08all sir joseph's household staff were clean
24:14i'm getting too old for this
24:16yes
24:17are you taking a nap in here
24:19yes
24:20if you stop talking
24:23this is a place of work not a lodging house
24:26aha
24:36i think i found something
24:38just 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
24:55come along
24:57no time to rest
25:01hurry up
25:05if it was here mr lawrence collapsed so i would wager it was poison
25:11someone would use strychnine as a 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
25:31i almost told sophia about us last night
25:35almost
25:36i'd like to do it together
25:39i hope she takes it well
25:42she's certainly very fond of you
25:44she thinks you're funny
25:46funny?
25:47is it odd?
25:48funny isn't amusing
25:50although you are a little odd
25:52thank you
26:05Alexander
26:06Alexander
26:11that's an awful lot of watches for one man
26:13especially for someone on a butler's wage
26:16what's this?
26:18cooling cars
26:22Countess Polchek
26:25Russian embassy
26:32there has been a recent spate of robberies in the area
26:35ambassador Polchek
26:36I 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
26:48during our investigations we were able to recover some of the stolen items
26:52one of which is a silver card holder belonging to Countess Polchek
26:58is she a relative of yours?
27:04she's my wife
27:06but i have no knowledge of her being robbed
27:10well perhaps we could speak to her
27:13she's not here
27:15do you know when she'll be back?
27:16she'll be back
27:21my wife and i
27:23we have parted ways
27:25she has returned to Russia
27:28that is all i wish to say on the matter
27:32it's not our intention to cause you embarrassment or distress sir
27:36but could you give us a sense of your wife's movements in the last few weeks?
27:39i 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
28:12i did visit him a few days before he died
28:16i was going to warn him to stay away from my wife
28:19but
28:21when i arrived
28:22he was outside his house
28:24in the middle of some kind of argument
28:28what kind of argument?
28:30he was on the street
28:32with 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?
28:47it was
28:49i believe
28:51german
28:52name and address of the account holder that sir joseph made payments to
29:09how did you get that?
29:12too charm and charisma
29:15alright fine i bribe the teller
29:17the account belongs to a mr claus lang
29:20now he's been visiting the bank every week to withdraw 100 pounds on each visit
29:26always on the same day always at the same time and always with an associate
29:30so um you pay a visit to this address
29:33i shall head back to the office to carry on digging into sir joseph's finances
29:39what?
29:41no
29:42you're impressed aren't you?
29:46i can tell
29:49perhaps
29:53sir
29:56sir
30:01sir joseph did not pay well
30:03Sir Joseph did not pay well.
30:09I've no regrets about stealing from him.
30:13One of the items you stole was a silver case
30:15containing the calling cards of the Russian ambassador's wife.
30:19She left her bag at the house one evening.
30:22You are aware they were having an affair?
30:24Of course.
30:25She wasn't the first.
30:27Believe me.
30:28What of these two German men Sir Joseph was arguing with
30:33the day before he died?
30:35I was not there.
30:37It was my day off.
30:42Talk us through the hours before you became ill.
30:45Everything you did.
30:48I finished work about nine o'clock,
30:52then went back to my lodging room.
30:55I needed some money that I kept there.
30:58I rested a while, smoked a pipe.
31:02Then, the next thing I remember,
31:04I 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.
31:14Mr. Potts, Barnabas, I'm here because I have a theory,
31:39and I'm in need of your advice.
31:41Well...
31:41And yes, I am aware that I have not given 24 hours' notice of my arrival.
31:45And yes, I am aware that there is a strict protocol.
31:48Oh, protocol be damned.
31:50You're always welcome here, Eliza.
31:52Come in.
31:55Come in.
31:55Ah, strict name.
32:01It could usually be found in the stomach and intestines of a cadaver,
32:06assuming it had been ingested,
32:08which is the most common form of poisoning.
32:09What if you inhaled it?
32:13Say, through tobacco?
32:16Oh, yes.
32:16That would work.
32:17Rather rapidly, too.
32:19Of course, the expert in such matters is Mr. Wormsley,
32:24and he seems rather on edge recently.
32:27Perhaps 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.
32:42Inspector Blake asked for me?
32:43Personally?
32:44He did.
32:45Well, then I'm at your disposal.
32:53We shall start with the basics of toxicology.
32:58Dosage, absorption, exposure.
33:09Pull out anyone with a German background,
33:11particularly those with convictions for violent crime.
33:15Mrs. Potts.
33:17You take the A's.
33:18Yes.
33:19Willows.
33:21The B's.
33:23And keep going till we run out of alphabet.
33:31This is going to be thirsty work.
33:34How about I organise a nice cup of tea for us all?
33:36Oh, sounds like a very sensible plan, Mrs. Potts.
33:40Right.
33:40I understand the disciplinary board wrote to you.
33:52Yes, sir.
33:53Hearing's in a couple of days.
33:55How are you feeling about it all?
33:57Haven't slept in a week.
33:59Haven't eaten much either.
34:00My sister says I'm like a bear with a sore head.
34:08Apart from that, I'm doing fine, sir.
34:11I'll be there to speak for you.
34:12And in the meantime, try not to dwell on it.
34:15My sister also said that.
34:17Sounds like a wise woman, Detective Willows.
34:21I wanted to give you an update on the case.
34:24Was Sir Joseph murdered?
34:25I believe so, yes.
34:30You have evidence?
34:33We're working on it.
34:35Inspector Blake and I will have a full report for you soon.
34:41Are you in love with him?
34:45Pardon?
34:46It's a simple question.
34:48And one that bears no relevance to the investigation.
34:51I'll take that as a yes.
34:52So, may I give you some advice?
34:55As two women working in the underbelly of this great city,
34:59I am sure we have faced similar challenges.
35:02One of which being loneliness.
35:05And of course, each man carries his own, um, merits
35:09when it comes to passing the short amount of time we have on this earth.
35:13But to love someone
35:14fully,
35:18completely,
35:18that would be a mistake.
35:26For a woman,
35:27financial independence is everything.
35:32Do not make the mistake
35:33of trusting in a man.
35:35Any man.
35:38They will always put their own needs above ours.
35:43Without exception.
35:44It's a rather bleak view.
35:50And one that I don't share.
35:57Yes, you do.
35:58Yep, yep.
36:07Let's go.
36:37Let's go.
37:07Let's go.
37:37Let's go.
37:39Let's go.
37:41Let's go.
37:43Let's go.
37:45Let's go.
37:49I win.
37:51Gentlemen.
38:01Let's go.
38:09Let's go.
38:11Let's go.
38:13Let's go.
38:21Let's go.
38:23Let's go.
38:24Let's go.
38:25Let's go.
38:27Let's go.
38:31Let's go.
38:33Let's go.
38:35Let's go.
38:36Let's go.
38:37Let's go.
38:39Let's go.
38:41Let's go.
38:43Let's go.
38:44Let's go.
38:45Let's go.
38:47Let's go.
38:48Let's go.
38:49Let's go.
38:50Let's go.
38:51Let's go.
38:52Let's go.
38:53Let's go.
38:54Let's go.
38:55Let's go.
38:56Let's go.
38:57Let's go.
38:58Let's go.
38:59Let's go.
39:00Let's go.
39:01Let's go.
39:02If they do not talk, they will be charged with Sir Joseph Milner's murder, the penalty
39:09for which is death by hanging.
39:15I don't need to translate, Inspector. They understand perfectly.
39:30What do you want to know?
39:32Why did Sir Joseph hire you?
39:35They were hired to kill his superior, Lord Powell, the Foreign Secretary.
39:42If they are to be believed, they were given very little information, not even a reason
39:47why.
39:50They were waiting for Sir Joseph to make contact, but they didn't know he was dead.
39:56The most incompetent assassins I have ever come across.
40:00It doesn't make sense if Sir Joseph would hire such fools for such a high-risk operation.
40:04No, it does not.
40:06None of this makes sense.
40:08How did you get on at the mortuary?
40:11According to Mr. Potts, if someone wished to lace tobacco with strychnine, they would
40:17first need to dissolve the strychnine in alcohol, then soak the tobacco in the solution.
40:21But these days, it's harder than ever to get your hands on it.
40:25Particularly the concentrated amounts that you need to kill someone.
40:28But you could extract it from rat poison.
40:32You just need very large quantities.
40:34And no pharmacy would be allowed to sell such amounts?
40:37Well, exactly.
40:38You need to get it from a specialised pharmaceutical company.
40:41Which is what Mr. Potts does to keep the rats under control at the mortuary.
40:44We need to pay a visit to that company, find out who else they supply.
40:47Already done.
40:48Five businesses that receive bulk deliveries are rat poison.
40:52You and Moses worked through the list.
40:57Willows, you're with me.
40:58Let's see if a few hours in the cells have made our German friends even more cooperative.
41:01The foreman said this business closed down years ago.
41:08Ah, deliveries are forwarded onto another premises.
41:10I wrote down the address.
41:11Alright, spit it out.
41:12What?
41:13Something is on your mind.
41:14Someone just...
41:15Just gave me some unwanted advice.
41:16What?
41:17Something is on your mind.
41:18Someone just...
41:19Just gave me some unwanted advice.
41:44Never listen to advice.
41:48Never listen to advice.
41:52Not even mine.
41:56So where do the foreman say to go?
42:04Find Inspector Blake, tell him to meet me at this address, urgently.
42:08You recognize the police? I do.
42:14Do it.
42:18Don't welcome you, Morgan.
42:22Sirly, the guard passed away!
42:24Sirly.
42:26Sirly.
42:28Sirly.
42:30Sirly.
42:34Did you get that?
42:38Sirly.
42:41Sirly.
42:42All right, boys.
43:00Good evening, Miss Carlet.
43:17It was you who killed Sir Joseph.
43:24Inspector Blake is on his way.
43:27We won't cover this up if that's what you're thinking.
43:31Cover it up.
43:32I want quite the opposite.
43:33I want a full written report handed in to the superintendent at Scotland Yard.
43:40I don't understand.
43:44There are many in our government that believe that Germany will soon be a threat to the
43:48national interest.
43:50Sir Joseph was one of them.
43:51But his superior, the foreign secretary, did not agree.
43:54Which is why Sir Joseph hired two lower level assassins to kill him.
43:59Their only qualification is that they were German.
44:04When it was discovered they were German, it would have forced England into war with Germany.
44:10War makes money for those in high places, regardless of the cost of human life.
44:17My conscience would not allow such a thing.
44:22So you hired Inspector Blake and I to get the evidence in black and white?
44:27My hope is that your report will be read by the few decent men left in the upper echelons
44:33of government.
44:35I want them to know what Sir Joseph had planned and why I killed him.
44:43You acted alone?
44:45If my superiors knew what I had done, it would have been covered up.
44:51You're hanged for this.
44:53And that's why I shall leave London tonight.
44:55I have a must, quite a fortune.
44:56It's about time I enjoyed spending it.
45:02You have made your decision about Inspector Blake.
45:08I won't be giving him up, not for anything.
45:16In that case, your fee will not be twice the normal rate as agreed.
45:23It would be a great deal more.
45:26Why?
45:27Because you're going to need it.
45:30And because I like you, Miss Scarlet, you're good at your job.
45:37Use the money however you see fit, but please, be ambitious.
45:43You're going to need a drink first.
46:05I don't agree with what Miss Scott did, but she did it for her country.
46:09I told the superintendent that I, like Miss Scott, have no taste for war.
46:14Young men dying painful deaths for little purpose.
46:18Did he listen?
46:19He did.
46:22Turns out he had a son who died in Crimea.
46:28He assured me my report had gone all the way up to the Prime Minister,
46:30who of course wishes to keep it out the public eye.
46:33How can he ensure that?
46:35A hefty promotion for the super.
46:40When will you tell him about us?
46:45I won't.
46:47Because there's no need.
46:50What?
46:52With his promotion, he'll be leaving Scotland Yard and there'll be a new superintendent.
46:57Well, who will that be?
46:59Me.
47:02We...
47:04You're going to be the next superintendent?
47:07Is that what you want?
47:12Nice office job.
47:15More money, civilized hours.
47:18No more getting shot at.
47:21I'd say that's quite appealing.
47:22And you can carry on working for Scotland Yard,
47:30as I will no longer be the inspector hiring you.
47:36I don't know what to say.
47:38How about...
47:41Alexander, you are the best thing that's ever happened to me.
47:45Certainly the most handsome, and I'm very lucky to have met you.
47:47A little long-winded, but...
47:53...bordly correct.
47:56So does that mean that willows will no longer be dismissed?
47:59It was the first thing I insisted upon.
48:02As well as another small matter.
48:04That the new clerical manager should be of my choosing.
48:09I think he'll approve of my choice.
48:17Good morning.
48:28Good morning, Mrs Potts.
48:29Good morning, Detective Windows.
48:30Good morning, everybody.
48:42To my clever wife, on her new promotion.
48:48To Ivy.
48:49Ivy.
48:50To Ivy.
48:51Congratulations.
48:52Thank you, Barnabas, and thank you, Inspector Blake, for having such faith in me.
49:02It's called for more wine.
49:05Easy does it, my beloved. That'll be your third.
49:08And I intend on having a fourth.
49:12I'll go and get some more bottles from the kitchen.
49:14Yes.
49:15Will you assist me, Inspector Blake?
49:17Of course, Miss Carlos.
49:20It is delicious.
49:24Cheers.
49:32I told Sophia that we'd go somewhere nice for lunch.
49:35Monday this week, the three of us.
49:38You want to tell her about us?
49:40It's time.
49:42I already know.
49:45What do you already know?
49:48That Eliza's your special lady friend, and that you love her.
49:51Oh.
49:56Well, yes.
49:58Yes, that's precisely what I wanted to tell you.
50:01But can we still go to luncheon?
50:03Of course we can.
50:08But not tomorrow.
50:10I have a very busy day.
50:12I'm going to hire some new detectives.
50:14Maybe you should hire Sophia.
50:16She certainly has very impressive powers of deduction.
50:19You're silly, Papa.
50:20I know.
50:21I know.
50:24I know.
50:39Ready for the big day?
50:40I know.
50:41I know.
50:42I know.
50:43Remember to make clear that the positions entail working long hours.
50:48What if only two candidates turn up?
50:50Sometimes even on a Sunday.
50:52Well, only one turns up.
50:53And that we do not offer overtime.
50:55Well, no one turns up.
50:59Eliza, all will be well.
51:02Go on.
51:03Welcome, everyone.
51:25Please.
51:26Please, do come in.
51:28Good morning.
51:28Hello.
51:30Just up the stairs.
51:31Good morning.
51:32Hello.
51:33Thank you for coming.
51:37Hello.
51:37Hello.
51:38Hello.
51:39Please, just follow the way upstairs.
51:42Good morning.
51:44Thank you for coming.
52:02What is typical foresight?
52:13Brace yourself.
52:14You're about to discover.
52:18Something rather exciting.
52:20What more does one need?
52:22How splendid.
52:23And it will be all that you've dreamed of, and more.
