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'm not sure what you do.
00:44I'm not sure what you do.
00:49I'm not sure what you do.
00:55I don't know.
01:25I don't know.
01:55Hello?
02:02Who'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, Inspector Blick, I do appreciate your punctuality.
02:47Miss Scott?
02:49Yes.
02:50That's what you call me, isn't it?
02:53I use so many names it's hard to keep track.
02:56Oh, I do apologise for the surroundings.
03:01What they lack in comfort they make up for indiscretion.
03:04You've summoned us here on government business.
03:07Please.
03:08As you know, my department deals with international espionage, not murder investigations.
03:14You will have read about the death of Sir Joseph Milner, Under Secretary at the Foreign Office.
03:19On the face of it, there are no suspicious circumstances.
03:23But, Sir Joseph spent much of his time moving between the foreign embassies.
03:28So 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.
03:42And for you, Miss Scarlet, shall we say, double your usual fee?
03:49In return, I want a full written report on the circumstances of Sir Joseph's death.
03:55For my eyes only, of course.
03:58This 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.
04:21All 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,
04:40this will be the last time you work together.
04:42é…’ andé…’ and currency shape.
04:49Yeah.
04:51Drink?
04:52Day�am開chnov
04:54Don't worry.
04:55They're enough to script.
04:56You know what?
04:57Those ideas of Jessie and Technology doesn't move together...
04:59They look på meinen worked and the합 can as he is in the court.
05:02Do whatever they do, they don't move.
05:03Well, you'll have to break down him and watch it.
05:05Thank you very much.
05:08Let's read every hand.
05:41We knew we couldn't keep it quiet forever.
05:48We'll be fine.
05:51I guess what my business may not.
05:54Losing Scotland Yard as a client.
05:56There I was thinking you're worried about us.
06:00I'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.
06:09I really am sorry.
06:11I 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 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.
07:06And 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.
07:39He died from a hunting accident.
07:42The official story is he fell from his horse, cut his leg, the wound got infected.
07:47He developed a fever, dying a few days later.
07:49Official story?
07:50That'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.
08:33We need you two to poke around at the areas that require, well, less conventional methods.
08:37Myself 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 they may have seen something,
09:03pull them over, see what they have to say.
09:05Yeah, right, guys.
09:05I have a question, sir.
09:06I haven't heard anything about these robberies.
09:10Er, me 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.
09:36Oh, if you'd 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.
09:47Ladies, listen up.
09:54There's been a spate of street thefts, and Detective Willows is making this a top priority.
10:00So we need to stop what we're doing and type up the incident report right away.
10:04I have heard of no robberies on the street.
10:32It was mostly in the neighbouring area.
10:36But 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.
10:51I'm very sorry to hear that, sir.
10:52It 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.
11:13Perhaps 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.
11:28He'd come back late with...
11:31With...
11:33He enjoyed the company of ladies.
11:38That is all I shall say.
11:49There 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?
11:57Quiet, well-mannered, not given to voicing strong opinions.
12:04He was a politician.
12:06Exactly.
12:07Butler said much the same, although 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.
12:26No, but it was something else.
12:29Something I can't put my finger on.
12:37What?
12:40Nothing.
12:42What?
12:47I'll miss this.
12:49Just working together.
12:50So, you were saying?
12:59We need to see the coroner's report into Sir Joseph's death.
13:03I can't request a fire from the mortuary.
13:05It would 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 apologised.
13:16God knows Ivy's tried.
13:17And there's no one else you 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?
13:55Who will you meet?
13:56It's all down here.
14:03A complete list of everything you've been up to.
14:08Perhaps Mrs. Wormsley might be interested in a coffee too.
14:16What do you want?
14:18I'm going to talk to you about a friend of mine.
14:21Oh, what a muddle indeed.
14:36Mr. Potts.
14:38It is grand to see you back.
14:40Oh.
14:41It's good to be back, Detective Willows.
14:44Mr. Worms' 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 and practically dragged me from the house.
14:57And I know why.
14:59You do?
15:00The 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.
15:12Well, 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, well, 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?
15:37He'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.
15:46This 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.
15:55Well, he's a big man.
15:57He didn't win.
15:58He 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.
16:32He's about to start.
16:38Come on, come on.
16:49I'm not a match for you, my friend.
17:19Ha ha ha.
17:20Brick!
17:21That would be more swell, come on.
17:26Ha ha ha ha.
17:30Mrs. 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.
17:48Oh, while 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.
17:57Oh, I am sorry. That was insensitive of me.
18:01No.
18:02I'm the one who should apologise. I should have seen through her.
18:06No, you weren't the only one taken in by her. It 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. I'm sure they'll see that.
18:20Thank you, Mrs. Potts.
18:30So, here's what we know.
18:33Sir Joseph liked the women, and his butler slightly shifty.
18:37Is that it?
18:39Afraid so.
18:40Although, I could also imagine that you look beautiful today.
18:43Today?
18:45So, not yesterday?
18:47Has anyone ever told you you can be rather demanding?
18:50Constantly.
18:54Oh, please tell us you have something.
18:56I spoke to the man who delivers the coal to Sir Joseph's house.
19:00After a few drinks, he got loose-lipped.
19:03Told me there's a butler there, a Mr. Lawrence.
19:07I spoke to him today.
19:09Apparently, none of the other servants like him.
19:13Rumour has it, Sir Joseph accused him of theft,
19:17and planned to dismiss him.
19:19But then, the minister up and croaked it.
19:26And there's something else?
19:29Even though he lives in a servant's quarters,
19:31Mr. Lawrence rents a lodging room in Whitechapel.
19:35Do you have the address?
19:37Of course he does.
19:53Mr. Lawrence?
19:56Where is your room?
19:59For for you?
20:02No, I don't think I am some trouble.
20:09If I even lost my room,
20:14I must go for it.
20:15It's starting next ,
20:16I.
20:17Not that.
20:19I.
20:20Mr. Lawrence,
20:21are you leaving the door?
20:23Is these years over?
20:25Mr. Lawrence.
20:46How is he?
20:47The doctor isn't sure what's wrong with him.
20:49He has a fever, breathing problems and muscle spasms in his neck and jaw.
20:52Sounds like tetanus.
20:55They're considering it.
20:57I can't see any wounds on his body that would trigger the infection.
21:00Mr. Scarlett? Sir?
21:02I 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.
21:09The cause of death was given as cardiac arrest, most likely due to tetanus.
21:13So Joseph and his butler both were suspected tetanus?
21:18Bit odd, isn't it? Given that it's not infectious.
21:20Odd and unlikely.
21:23Mr. Potts said there was something else that caused those symptoms.
21:27Strictly and poisoning.
21:35Mr. Wormsley was most keen to hear all about my ideas for improving the mortuary.
21:40I must say he's a changed man.
21:41Oh, it's good indeed to be back.
21:46But alas, I shall have to withdraw my application to be office manager at Scotland Yard.
21:52I'm so sorry to disappoint you, my jewel.
21:55I know how much you are relishing us working together.
21:59Scotland Yard's loss is the mortuary's game, Barnabas.
22:03Thank you, my beloved.
22:08Right.
22:09Now I have an extremely long to-do list.
22:12This great city of ours seems to increase its supply of the dead each and every day.
22:17But as I always say...
22:19If you want something doing, ask a busy person.
22:21No.
22:22We're just going to head in the handcart.
22:27It's nice to have my happy Barnabas back again.
22:31Now we just need to work on you.
22:34I'm fine.
22:35Then why does your face tell me otherwise?
22:39You've been very quiet.
22:47There 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.
22:58Well, I suppose it couldn't stay secret forever.
23:00Yes, but losing Scotland Yard as a client will be a loss indeed.
23:05When you were a little girl...
23:07Please don't say it.
23:07You don't know what I was going to say.
23:09When 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.
23:35You know a gentleman covers his mouth when he yawns.
23:55A gentleman doesn't stay up all night doing background checks.
24:02What did you find?
24:04Nothing.
24:09All Sir Joseph's household staff were clean.
24:15I'm getting too old for this.
24:17Are you taking a nap?
24:18In here?
24:19Yes.
24:22If you stop talking.
24:24This is a place of work, not a lodging house.
24:34Aha!
24:35I think I found something.
24:39Just before he died, a large transfer of money was made from Sir Joseph's bank account
24:45to a small German bank in the city.
24:51We need to find out who this bank account belongs to.
24:55Come along.
24:57No time to rest.
25:01Hurry up!
25:06It was here Mr. Lawrence collapsed, so I would wager it was poison.
25:12Someone would use strychnine as a poison of choice.
25:16I imagine they'd put it in food or drink.
25:20The question is, who would want to poison the butler and his employer?
25:32I almost told Sophia about us last night.
25:36Well, almost.
25:38I'd like to do it together.
25:42I hope she takes it well.
25:44She's certainly very fond of you.
25:46She thinks you're funny.
25:48Funny? Is it odd?
25:50Funny isn't amusing.
25:52Although you're a little odd.
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?
26:18Calling cars.
26:22Countess Polchek.
26:25Russian Embassy.
26:26There has been a recent spate of robberies in the area, Ambassador Polchek.
26:37I have heard nothing of these robberies of which we speak.
26:44The 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?
27:03She'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?
27:21My wife and I, we have parted ways.
27:24She has returned to Russia.
27:28That is all I wish to say on the matter.
27:31It'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?
27:44I suppose if I don't tell you, some gossiping servant will.
27:50She had been seeing a lover.
27:55Sir Joseph Milner.
28:00I can only assume that the calling cards were stolen from his residence.
28:06You are aware that Sir Joseph passed away last week?
28:09I am.
28:11And 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.
28:19But when I arrived, he was outside his house in the middle of some kind of argument.
28:29What kind of argument?
28:31He was on the street with two men.
28:33They 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, I believe, German.
29:04Name an address of the account holder that Sir Joseph made payments to.
29:10How did you get that?
29:13Too charm and charisma.
29:16All right, fine. I bribe the teller.
29:17The account belongs to a Mr. Klaus Lang.
29:21Now, he's been visiting the bank every week to withdraw £100 on each visit.
29:27Always on the same day, always at the same time, and always with an associate.
29:31So, you pay a visit to this address, and I shall head back to the office to carry on digging into Sir Joseph's finances.
29:39What?
29:42Come on.
29:44You're impressed, aren't you?
29:47I can tell.
29:50Perhaps.
29:55Sir.
30:06Sir 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 containing the cooling 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.
30:26She wasn't the first.
30:27Believe me.
30:30What of these two German men Sir Joseph was arguing with the day before he died?
30:35I was not there.
30:37It was my day off.
30:43Talk us through the hours before you became ill.
30:46Everything you did.
30:48I 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, smoked a pipe.
31:02Then, the next thing I remember, I was gasping for breath, and everything went black.
31:05Where did you get the tobacco from?
31:09It was from a pouch I stole from Sir Joseph.
31:13Mr. Potts, Barnabas.
31:14I'm here because I have a theory, and I'm in need of your advice.
31:28Well...
31:30And yes, I am aware that I have not given 24 hours' notice of my arrival.
31:32Oh.
31:33And yes, I am aware that there is a strict protocol, but...
31:35Oh, protocol be damned.
31:37You're always welcome here, Eliza.
31:39Come in.
31:41Come in.
31:43Come in.
31:44Ah, strickening.
31:45It could usually be found in the stomach and intestines of a cadaver, assuming it had been ingested, which is the most common form of poisoning.
31:58What if you inhaled it?
31:59Say, two tobacco?
32:00Oh, yes. That would work. Rather rapidly too.
32:04Of course, the expert in such matters is Mr. Wormsley, and he seems rather on edge recently.
32:09Perhaps the joy of my return is overwhelmed.
32:12Oh, yes.
32:13I'm sorry.
32:14I'm sorry.
32:15I'm sorry.
32:16I'm sorry.
32:17I'm sorry.
32:18I'm sorry.
32:19I'm sorry.
32:20I'm sorry.
32:21I'm sorry.
32:22I'm sorry.
32:23I'm sorry.
32:24I'm sorry.
32:25I'm sorry.
32:26I'm sorry.
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, one which myself and Inspector Blake were like your opinion, and yours alone.
32:42Inspector Blake asked for me, personally.
32:44He did?
32:48Then I'm at your disposal.
32:50We 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.
33:14Mrs. Potts.
33:17You take the A's.
33:18Yes.
33:19Willows.
33:21The B's.
33:22And keep going until we run out of alphabet.
33:31This 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.
33:41I 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?
33:58Haven't slept in a week.
34:00Haven't eaten much either.
34:02My sister says I'm like a bear with a sore head.
34:08Apart from that, I'm doing fine, sir.
34:11Well, I'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?
34:28I 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.
34:42Are 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.
34:53So, 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.
35:03And 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.
35:32Do not make the mistake of trusting in a man.
35:36Any man.
35:38They will always put their own needs above ours.
35:43Without exception.
35:48It's a rather bleak view.
35:49And one that I don't share.
35:57Yes, you do.
36:19No.
36:24No.
36:26No.
36:33Oh, my God.
37:03Oh, my God.
37:33You don't hold the bank of the Dutch land.
37:37They contain the money from Sir Josef Haltenhardt.
37:43I win.
37:51Gentlemen.
38:01Hmm.
38:05Hmm.
38:13Hmm.
38:17Hmm.
38:21Your address was given to the Bank of Deutschland as a contact for an account Sir Josef Milner was paying into.
38:31Why do you have a photograph of Sir Josef Superior, Lord Powell, the Foreign Secretary?
38:43I believe my associate here speaks a little German.
38:47Do I have that right?
38:51You do, Inspector Bleak.
38:55So, would you be so kind as to tell these gentlemen the following?
38:59If they do not talk, they will be charged with Sir Josef Milner's murder.
39:07The penalty for which is death by hanging.
39:17I don't need to translate, Inspector.
39:21They understand perfectly.
39:23What do you want to know?
39:31Why did Sir Josef hire you?
39:35They were hired to kill his superior, Lord Powell, the Foreign Secretary.
39:41If they are to be believed, they were given very little information.
39:45Not even a reason why.
39:47They were waiting for Sir Josef to make contact, but they didn't know he was dead.
39:55The most incompetent assassins I have ever come across.
39:59It doesn't make sense that Sir Josef 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,
40:17they would first need to dissolve the strychnine in alcohol, then soak the tobacco in the solution.
40:22But these days it's harder than ever to get your hands on it.
40:26Particularly the concentrated amounts that you need to kill someone.
40:29But 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. You 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.
40:49Five businesses that receive bulk deliveries are rat poison.
40:56You and Moses worked through the list.
40:58Willows, you're with me.
40:59Let's see if a few hours in the cells have made our German friends even more cooperative.
41:02The foreman said this business closed down years ago.
41:11Deliveries are forwarded onto another premises.
41:15I wrote down the address.
41:17Alright, spit it out.
41:33What?
41:34Something is on your mind.
41:36Someone just...
41:38Just gave me some unwanted advice.
41:43Never listen to advice.
41:48Not even mine.
41:52So where do the foreman say to go?
41:55Find Inspector Blake, tell him to meet me at this address urgently.
42:06You recognise the police?
42:08I do.
42:10Tell him to see you.
42:11N
42:40All right, boys.
43:10Good evening, Miss Carlet.
43:17It was you who killed Sir Joseph.
43:24Inspector Blake is on his way.
43:26We 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.
43:39I don't understand.
43:44There are many in our government that believe that Germany will soon be a threat to the
43:48national interest.
43:49Sir 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.
44:08War makes money for those in high places, regardless of the cost of human life.
44:16My 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 of government.
44:34I want them to know what Sir Joseph had planned and why I killed him.
44:42You acted alone?
44:45If my superiors knew what I had done, it would have been covered up.
44:51You're hanged for this.
44:53Which is why I shall leave London tonight.
44:55I have a must quite a fortune.
44:57It's about time I enjoyed spending it.
44:59You have made your decision about Inspector Blake.
45:06I won't be giving him up.
45:10Not for anything.
45:12In that case, your fee will not be twice the normal rate as agreed.
45:19It would be a great deal more.
45:21Why?
45:22Because you're going to need it.
45:23And because I like you, Miss Scarlet.
45:24You're good at your job.
45:26Use the money however you see fit, but please, be ambitious.
45:42You're going to need a drink first.
46:03I 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.
46:17Did he listen?
46:19He did.
46:22Turns out he had a son who died in Crimea.
46:27He 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.
46:39When 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,
46:54and there'll be a new superintendent.
46:57Well, who will that be?
46:59Me.
47:00You're going to be the next superintendent?
47:05Is that what you want?
47:12Nice office job.
47:15More money, civilised hours.
47:17No more getting shot at.
47:19I'd say that's quite appealing.
47:22And you can carry on working for Scotland Yard,
47:29as 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.
47:46And I'm very lucky to have met you.
47:49A little long-winded, but...
47:53boldly 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.
48:23Morning!
48:24Good morning, Mrs Potts.
48:29Good morning, Detective Windows.
48:44To my clever wife.
48:46On her new promotion.
48:48To Ivy.
48:50Ivy.
48:52Congratulations.
48:55Thank you, Barnabas.
48:57And thank you, Inspector Blake, for having such faith in me.
49:03It's called for more wine.
49:05Easy does it, my beloved.
49:07That will be your third.
49:08And I intend on having a fourth.
49:13I'll go and get some more bottles from the kitchen.
49:15Yes.
49:16Will you assist me, Inspector Blake?
49:17Of course, Miss Carlos.
49:21It is delicious.
49:24Cheers.
49:33I told Sophia that we'd go somewhere nice for lunch.
49:36Monday this week, the three of us.
49:38You want to tell her about us?
49:40It's time.
49:41I already know.
49:42What do you already know?
49:43That Eliza's your special lady friend, and that you love her.
49:54Oh.
49:56Well, yes.
49:58Yes, that's precisely what I wanted to tell you.
50:01But can we still go to luncheon?
50:06Of course we can.
50:08But not tomorrow.
50:10I have a very busy day.
50:11I'm going to hire some new detectives.
50:15Maybe you should hire Sophia.
50:16She certainly has very impressive powers of deduction.
50:19You're silly, Papa.
50:23I know.
50:24Ready for the big day?
50:40Hmm.
50:42Now, remember 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.
50:56Well, no one turns up.
50:59Eliza, all will be well.
51:01Go on.
51:24Welcome, everyone.
51:26Please, please do come in.
51:28Good morning.
51:29Hello.
51:30Just up the stairs.
51:31Come on.
51:32Hello.
51:34Thank you for coming.
51:37Hello.
51:38Hello.
51:39Hello.
51:40Please just follow the way up the stairs.
51:43Good morning.
51:44Thank you for coming.
52:00Good morning.
52:01Good morning.
52:02Good morning.
52:03Good morning.
52:04Good morning, Psychology.
52:10What is typical foresight?
52:13Brace yourself.
52:14You're about to discover it.
52:15Something rather exciting.
52:20What more does one need?
52:22How splendid.
52:23it and it will be all that you've dreamed of and more
