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.
00:30Oh!
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.
03:25That's it, that's it.
03:26Let's do that without one.
03:27Let's do that without one.
03:28Go.
03:29Go.
03:30Go.
03:35Look.
03:41I'm going to have the house beat.
03:46Go.
03:48Go.
03:49Go.
03:50Go.
03:51Go.
03:54We need to be careful.
04:10You cannot simply kiss me in the middle of my hallway, Alexander.
04:13You didn't seem to mind.
04:16I just want to stay in this bubble forever.
04:20No one else knowing or interfering.
04:21Things 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?
04:46The 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!
05:07Eliza!
05:09I suspect it's fake.
05:11And nice to see you again.
05:13Spots.
05:13I 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.
05:31I 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.
05:56I 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?
06:13You finally touched your bacon.
06:18Cannot deny I'm in a little trouble to my dear.
06:20Why?
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, he'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.
07:04It's a strict chain of command.
07:05One must respect, my beloved.
07:06If 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, yes.
07:26That may alleviate some of my discomfort.
07:30All right.
07:31See you later.
07:36Excuse 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?
08:31Very well.
08:32Please let him know that we're still waiting on the post-mortem from yesterday.
08:36Come.
08:38Detective Willow.
08:39Supporting for duty, sir.
08:41Yes, I'm well aware who you are, Detective Willow.
08:42Please.
08:50You seem to have something on your lapel.
08:52I do apologise, sir.
08:56Teeth and baby at home.
08:58I didn't realise you were married.
09:00It's complicated, sir.
09:03So, 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.
09:09I 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?
09:23He's doing very well, sir.
09:29You 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.
09:48Two dead bodies for our immediate attention.
09:52One in a townhouse in Mayfair, the other in a cold, drafty alleyway in Kilburn.
09:57If you want to make a good impression on your first day, I would take.
10:01The drafty alleyway in Kilburn, 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.
10:24Well, 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.
10:33Usually, 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...
10:44Well, at least not 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.
11:04Because your powers of deduction still need honing, Clarence.
11:07I can assure you, Inspector Blake and I are on the best of terms.
11:11Professionally speaking.
11:11Now, can you please drop that odd-looking frown?
11:19It'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?
11:48Take her back to the yard.
11:57Get her a cup of tea.
11:58Yes, sir.
12:02Come on, now.
12:02No evidence of a robbery.
12:22No sign of a struggle.
12:32Potassium bromide.
12:45Victims well-dressed.
12:47There's no obvious signs of attack.
12:53Doesn't look like a theft.
12:54She's still got her purse.
12:55Yes, sir.
12:55Two bottles of potassium bromide.
13:18Two dead women.
13:20Coincidence, sir?
13:26Tell me about your lady.
13:27Her name was Elizabeth Roper.
13:31Passer-by said that she was having some sort of fit before she died.
13:36Convulsions and such.
13:37I've asked the uniform to do house-to-house inquiries.
13:40I also have a potential witness, a young woman.
13:45She seems traumatised by whatever she saw, hasn't said a word, not even her name.
13:48When I was at Bow Street, if we had a female witness who was in shock, we used to ask one of the secretaries to sit with her for a bit.
13:57Do you have any ladies you could ask?
14:00Do 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?
14:17Not yet.
14:18I'm thinking.
14:19May I point out that you've been reading the same telegram for 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 because that's literally never bothered you before.
14:37Am I missing something?
14:42Fine.
14:43Fine.
14:44I'll go.
14:49Miss 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.
15:19There's no rush.
15:22Take your time.
15:24As I said, my name's Miss Scarlet, but you can call me Eliza.
15:30And you are?
15:35My name's Sarah Mason.
15:39She arrived at the house of the deceased Miss Quail at 25 past 8 this morning.
15:42The door was ajar, and when no one answered, she ended up finding Miss Quail collapsed on the floor.
15:46What was her reason for going to Miss Quail'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 when 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?
16:13You 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 to get me to hire you on the rest of the case?
16:26This is a new dawn indeed, and 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.
16:36Eliza.
16:50I don't want people to know about us either.
16:53Not yet, anyway.
16:55The fact is, you are an excellent detective, and 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.
17:11I know 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, and 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, she was under the care of a doctor at Harley Street.
17:33He specializes in treating melancholia.
17:35The doctor is in barred coal, by any chance?
17:39The very same.
17:41So both women would prescribe potassium bromide by the same doctor?
17:44Yeah, it would seem that way.
17:47We need to speak to this doctor and contact the pharmacy that supplies him with the drugs.
17:51There's also the post-mortem of the two women that 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.
18:05Yes, sir.
18:06Well, 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 the secretary and I've worked for Scott Lignard for many years, even before you arrived, in fact.
18:50So, be sure to mention that.
18:52Are you all right?
18:52Yes, I'm fine.
18:56It'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, it's best that you treat me as you would one of your men.
19:09You can be polite in our private time.
19:12Perhaps you could write a list of what I'm meant to do and when.
19:22Two of my patients found dead.
19:35Mrs. Roper collapsed in the street and 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 traumatized.
19:46Well, yes, that's why I interviewed her.
19:49Because as a woman, Inspector Blake thought it might help.
19:51Since Miss Mason is also a woman.
19:59Lady Detective.
20:00How curious.
20:01Do you often work together?
20:03I have a long-standing relationship, working relationship with Scott Lignard, not just Inspector Blake, so...
20:08Well, that's why I'm here.
20:11Both of the deceased were found with the same medication, potassium bromide.
20:20Was it you who prescribed that?
20:22To control the melancholia from which they both suffered.
20:24They were also undergoing a course of electrotherapy.
20:27I used the updated adaptation of the pulver markers technique.
20:30Oh.
20:31Yes, I've read about this.
20:33Patients are given electrical currents that pass through the body to the brain.
20:37And it's said to calm the mind of agitation.
20:42All right?
20:43I told you about this.
20:45At your office.
20:46At Scotland Yard.
20:47Yes, Miss Scarlett.
20:50Thank you for reminding me, particularly of the location of said conversation.
21:00Elizabeth 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, but 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 post-mortem, we cannot be sure.
21:41Yes.
21:42You mentioned that your secretary, Miss Mason, suffers from a nervous condition.
21:46Is 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?
22:03You're so intent on keeping our relationship secret that 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?
22:16I 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.
22:48Oh, Detective 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.
23:11If you do happen upon him, please impress that he is needed at the mortuary most precipitously.
23:17And do you use that word?
23:18I'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.
23:33I didn't get your name.
23:37Willows.
23:37Detective Willows.
23:38George Willows.
23:40It's a lot of names.
23:43I'm just Isabel.
23:44Well, Isabel Summers.
23:46Nice to meet you, Detective George Willows.
24:03Miss Mason?
24:18Miss Mason?
24:28Who are you?
24:29Do you know that man?
24:37I believe so.
24:42I don't know his name, but he's a patient of Dr Cole's.
24:48I remember seeing him a couple weeks back.
24:51He came to see Dr Cole.
24:54What did he want with me?
24:55Well, we can't be certain, but there's a chance that the two women who died had their medication poisoned.
25:06Two women?
25:07Another of Dr Cole's patients has died, as well as Miss Quayle.
25:12Yes, 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.
25:21I think you should stop taking your tablets until we know more.
25:31May I ask why you're taking the medication?
25:34Life has been a struggle for me.
25:37I grew up in an orphanage, and then the workhouse.
25:42And when I came of age, I left to work in a laundry.
25:45Which is where Dr Cole took pity on me.
25:50He took me in.
25:52First as a housemaid.
25:56And then he trained me as his secretary.
26:01He taught me to read and write.
26:04Our father couldn't have done more.
26:06You'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.
26:23It sounds like the man you described is Zebediah Sawyer.
26:33He's a long-standing patient of mine.
26:36Poor creature plagued by demonic voices telling him to cause people harm.
26:42When was the last time you saw him?
26:43Last week, he turned up at my door in an agitated state.
26:50We'd started a course of electrotherapy a few days earlier,
26:52and he was adamant it had made him worse.
26:55I offered to help him, but he wouldn't listen.
26:57He was in a blind rage.
27:00Enough to wish harm on you?
27:02An act of revenge, perhaps?
27:05Zebediah developed his condition in his early 20s,
27:07but before that, he was a functioning member of society.
27:10He had several different jobs, including being a clerk at a pharmacist store.
27:17Could he have the skill to temper with the medication you prescribed?
27:23The bottles you found on the dead women, could I see them?
27:30Both bottles are wrongly labelled.
27:33According to Dr Cole, one tablet of potassium bromide is the standard daily dose.
27:37These labels say five tablets, a potentially lethal amount.
27:41Luckily, these are the only bottles affected.
27:44The other patients all had the correct dose.
27:47So this Zebediah Sawyer tampered with the labels?
27:50Perhaps there's revenge on the doctor who failed to cure him.
27:53It seems so.
27:57Any news on the post-mortems?
27:59Still waiting, sir.
28:00What on earth's going on in the city mortuary?
28:02I saw Mr Potts earlier. He was looking for Mr Wernsey.
28:06Grace, get yourself down to the city mortuary.
28:07Find out what's going on over there.
28:08Yes, sir.
28:10Do 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 if we took a few each.
28:24No, you will remain here.
28:25What? Why?
28:31Miss Scullet, the man we are hunting is extremely dangerous.
28:35Then I will be careful, as we all will.
28:38I have many resources for such scenarios.
28:46I will take some hide muscle with me.
28:48You bring me to the nicest places.
28:50Would you bring me to the nicest place?
28:55Have a warden's mind, Clarence.
28:57I need two more to go.
28:59What's the next address?
29:00Er, it's just a few doors down.
29:03Mrs. Ebadiah Sawyer clearly likes this neighbourhood.
29:06I'm curious, why did you bring me along with you?
29:09I promised Inspector Blake that I wouldn't go alone.
29:12Yes, but that's my point.
29:13You've lied to the inspector many times before.
29:15It's a habit that I wish to break.
29:17Why? What's changed?
29:18Nothing's changed.
29:19I just want to tell Inspector Blake the truth, that's all.
29:23The premises moved to Belmont Street.
29:28What?
29:29So, you told the inspector that I'm your hired muscle?
29:32No, of course not.
29:34Well, then that's hardly telling him the truth, is it?
29:36Can we please just concentrate on the matter in hand?
29:39You stay here, visit the public houses and the streets around,
29:43see what we can find out.
29:43Apparently the man's a heavy drinker.
29:46I'll go to this Belmont Street boarding house.
29:48Let's see if there's been any sign of him.
29:52You're sending me to the roughest pubs this side of the city
29:55to look for a heavy drinker who hears demonic voices telling him to kill people.
29:59I'll meet you back at the office first thing.
30:01If you don't show up, I'll send out a search party.
30:03How does that sound?
30:04Unsatisfactory.
30:06Good evening, man.
30:08I'm looking for Mrs. Potts.
30:27You found her?
30:29I've been sent to give you this.
30:30We need to put out an appeal for information on a man named Zebediah Sawyer.
30:34This needs typing up and circulating.
30:36Consider it done.
30:37And you are?
30:38Good evening, Detective Willows.
30:40Miss Summers.
30:41How are you settling in?
30:42Yeah, there's a lot to learn, but I think I'm getting there.
30:44She's doing very well indeed.
30:48Was there anything else, Detective Willows?
30:53No.
30:54That's all.
30:57Sir, where have you been all day?
31:12I had to go ahead and find an interim coroner in your stead.
31:15Not now, Potts.
31:17Yes, now, Mr. Wormsley, if you please.
31:23Sorry, sir.
31:25But I can hold my tongue no longer.
31:28Things need to be said before the good reputation of this mortuary is forever tarnished.
31:35Get up!
31:36And stay up!
31:41What the...
31:46I...
31:49Thank you for your time.
31:57If there's any sighting at all of Mr. Sawyer, then please contact the police immediately.
32:01He's extremely dangerous.
32:02Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
32:32I have a revolver, and I'm not afraid to use it.
32:46Well, I'd really rather you didn't.
32:48Alexander!
32:50Miss Scarlet!
33:02I made myself look an idiot.
33:04You're overreacting.
33:06Do you have any idea how hard it's been for me to build my reputation,
33:09only to act like some damsel in distress?
33:12I haven't even called you Alexander!
33:14Detective Willows won't care.
33:16He'll put it down to you being scared witless.
33:20Which, by the way, is allowed,
33:23since you are a mere mortal like the rest of us.
33:25I'm tying myself in knots, thinking,
33:29what should I say? What should I do?
33:33How would I behave if I were a normal detective?
33:36I'm not exactly normal.
33:40I'm more concerned that you put yourself at risk.
33:43It was only luck that I was there.
33:45Belmont Lodging House was on my list.
33:48You said you wouldn't go alone.
33:50I wasn't alone.
33:51Clarence was with me for most of the time.
33:53Clarence was your hired muscle.
33:56Years of carrying ledges have not gone to waste.
33:58He's stronger than he looks.
34:04Now I feel guilty about lying to you.
34:06You see, this is impossible.
34:07We cannot work together.
34:08Eliza, you're overreacting.
34:13One of the lads just came by with a message for you, Inspector.
34:16Thank you, Mrs. Ross.
34:22I have to go.
34:22I've made a decision.
34:30I will no longer work on the case.
34:32Don't be ridiculous.
34:34I want our...
34:37courtship romance, whatever you want to call it,
34:40to have a fighting chance.
34:41This is the best way.
34:45Well, for what it's worth, I think you're wrong.
34:49No one knows about us, Eliza.
34:52But you must do what's right for you.
34:56Have I not been like a mother to that girl?
34:59Have I not been the one to pick her up when she grazed her knee?
35:03I dried her eyes when Arabella Herbert called her the cruelest of names.
35:08I defended her to her father when she was expelled from college.
35:11Again.
35:12Yet she tells me nothing.
35:14Nothing.
35:16That was your day.
35:18Oh, I was dismissed.
35:22Mr. Wormsley finally arrived at work at five o'clock this evening.
35:26Five o'clock!
35:27Well, I could take no more, so I gave him a piece of my mind.
35:29Oh, Barnabas, I am sorry.
35:31He would not even allow me to collect my things.
35:34Threw me out like a vagrant.
35:35Ruined my hat.
35:37Do you know what else he called me?
35:39A vexatious buffoon.
35:42Will you wait and see what I call him if I ever set eyes on that man?
35:45Thirty years I have given to the city mortuary.
35:48And now, for the first time in my life, I'm...
35:52I'm unemployed.
35:53Oh, why don't you get out of these workrooms?
35:58And I'll make you a nice dinner.
36:00Then we should talk things through over a glass of cherry by the fire.
36:05Good evening.
36:07What did it work?
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 you'd like to tell me?
36:24Like what?
36:28Dinner will be in an hour.
36:33We will.
36:34Good evening, sir.
36:42Detective Willows.
36:43What have we got?
36:45He was pulled out about an hour ago.
36:47There's a gunshot wound to the head.
36:50And do we know who he is?
36:53I think this is our man, sir.
36:54He certainly fits the description.
36:56Oh, Zebediah.
37:02What did you do?
37:07You can confirm that this is your patient, Zebediah Sawyer?
37:11It is.
37:16Is it possible that he could have taken his own life?
37:18The gunshot seems to have been at close range.
37:23On more than one occasion, he expressed suicidal thoughts.
37:26That's why we started the course of electrotherapy.
37:29But his drinking exacerbated his symptoms.
37:35I tried to persuade him to stop.
37:40But he had a chaotic mind.
37:41It's late.
37:48I'll come by in the morning to take a full statement.
37:52Get some rest, Doctor.
37:54I did everything I could to help him.
37:57But over the years, I've come to realize that
38:00some people are beyond help.
38:11It's not like you to forget your key, Clarence.
38:18It's not like me to be suffering from alcohol poisoning.
38:22As requested, I visited all the public houses of the Seven Dials last night
38:26in search of this Zebediah Sawyer in one particularly grotty establishment
38:32called the Plague Pit.
38:34I ran into a squatted bottle with some of the locals.
38:36I honestly think I would have been safer in an actual Plague Pit.
38:39I had to buy five rounds of roughest whisky for the whole pub.
38:47That is the only reason I am still alive.
38:50Well, thank you for your efforts.
38:55But Scotland Yard are no longer in need of our services.
38:59What? Why not?
39:01Well,
39:05because I just received a telegram from Inspector Blake.
39:08A body was found on the riverbank last night and identified as Zebediah Sawyer.
39:14Really?
39:16Clarence, will you please stop questioning me every time I mention Scotland Yard or Inspector Blake?
39:20All I was going to say is that according to my new friends at the Plague Pit,
39:24Mr Sawyer is very much alive.
39:26What?
39:27Yes.
39:28He's awaiting sentencing in Manchester County Prison.
40:31I had a look at the photographs of two recent post-mortems, the dead women brought in yesterday.
40:35I'm afraid that as a former employee, I'm no longer permitted access to the premises.
40:42Well, I won't tell if you don't.
40:44That would be a severe breach of protocol.
40:46I simply cannot.
40:48No, of course not.
40:52Well, I am here on official police business, so perhaps if you assist me, then I can grant
41:00you permission.
41:02And you do need to collect your things, do you not?
41:04Very well.
41:20Miss Scarlet, would you be so kind as to grant me permission to enter the city mortuary?
41:27Permission granted, Mr. Potts.
41:33Now then, I need your brain.
41:37Dr. Cole?
41:53Miss Mason, Sarah, please put the gun down.
42:18Whatever's happened, we can talk it through.
42:21We can talk to him.
42:23Not me.
42:25He's the liar.
42:26He's the one that's lied again and again and again.
42:32Put the weapon down, Miss Mason.
42:33Sarah, this is my daughter.
42:52Her mother was an inmate at an asylum where I was the residing physician.
42:58She's so beautiful.
43:07So fragile.
43:10We fell in love.
43:14I knew it was wrong, which is why I left my position and I never saw her again.
43:22I had no idea she was with child.
43:24Or that she died in childbirth.
43:30I only found out years later through some research I was carrying out at the Bulloch Workhouse.
43:37There I found a file on Sarah.
43:41By that time she'd left, but I was determined to find her.
43:46I was working in a laundry.
43:51It was a miserable existence.
43:54One day, Dr. Cole came to do a study on the health of the girls that worked there.
44:00He seemed to feel sorry for me in particular and took me in.
44:04He never told me who he really was.
44:11The man lying in the mortuary isn't your patient, Zebediah Sawyer, is he?
44:17Unlike the two women, he doesn't have the marks on his wrist from the electrotherapy you said you'd given him.
44:21His name is Franklin Sloan.
44:29He's a private detective who helped me track Sarah down.
44:33Two weeks ago, he showed up at my door drunk.
44:37He had gambling debts.
44:39He tried to blackmail me.
44:41I refused to pay him.
44:43But when I found out he'd visited Sarah,
44:46I knew he would reveal to her who I really was.
44:52Which is when you had the idea to blame him for the deaths of the two women.
44:56You gave him the identity of a past patient you knew who was locked up in Manchester prison.
45:01So if Sloan didn't poison them,
45:03who did?
45:07It was me.
45:09I made a mistake.
45:10I got confused by the different medicine dosages
45:14and mixed up the information on the labels.
45:17All of this
45:18is my fault.
45:22I am the one to blame, not Sarah.
45:26The poor child
45:27had not long learned to read and write.
45:31I pushed her
45:32too hard.
45:37Gave her too much responsibility.
45:40I was just so proud of her.
45:44So you blamed Sloan to protect your daughter
45:47and then you killed him?
45:51Not before he told Miss Mason the truth.
45:57This morning
45:58I woke up to find an envelope
46:00had been slipped under my door in the night.
46:04And it was a file
46:06where I learned that
46:08Dr. Cole was my father.
46:15I was so angry
46:17and confused.
46:19In a rage
46:20she picked up my revolver.
46:23She
46:23didn't mean to hurt me.
46:25The same revolver used to put a bullet
46:27in Sloan's head.
46:28So what happens now?
46:41Well given the circumstances
46:42if Miss Mason puts in a guilty plea
46:44and finishes she'll avoid a prison sentence
46:46Dr. Cole on the other hand
46:48Do you still have that whiskey in your office?
46:54Are you suggesting being seen
46:55entering my office?
46:56Together.
46:58Very funny.
47:06Good night Detective Willows.
47:08Miss Summers
47:08Good night to you.
47:13Was there anything else
47:14you wanted to
47:14say to me?
47:16Or ask me?
47:18No I don't think so.
47:20Shame.
47:22Because I'm free this evening.
47:23I'm afraid I'm not.
47:26I have to pick up the baby
47:27from the Minders.
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 Detective Willows.
47:40But
47:40I'm free tomorrow night.
47:43I'm glad you changed your mind
47:58about working the case.
48:00The outcome could have been
48:01very different.
48:04It would have worked it out.
48:06Probably yes.
48:09Eliza.
48:10You don't need to say it.
48:13You didn't know
48:14what I was going to say.
48:15You're going to say
48:16that me believing
48:17I could keep us
48:17in some sort of
48:18bubbles
48:19not only childish
48:20but unrealistic.
48:23I was going to say
48:24as an ex-military man
48:27structure and control
48:29run through my veins.
48:32But over the years
48:33I've learnt that
48:34trying to control
48:34too much of your life
48:35is futile.
48:36and when you
48:39stop trying to do so
48:40that's where
48:42the real freedom lies.
48:47Oh and there's
48:48one more thing.
48:49Goodness
48:49I don't know
48:50how much more wisdom
48:50I can take.
48:54The burden
48:54of this situation
48:55might be eased
48:56if you were to confide
48:57in someone.
48:59Someone other than me.
49:00Barnabas!
49:18Barnabas!
49:19What?
49:20Are you cooking dinner?
49:21Indeed I am
49:23my beloved.
49:23Now
49:24sit down
49:25put your feet up
49:25and I'll go and fetch you
49:27a nice glass of sherry.
49:28What's put all this on?
49:31I've decided
49:32there's no point
49:32in moping about.
49:34So until I receive
49:35a full and satisfactory
49:36apology from Mr Wormsley
49:37I shall be in charge
49:39of household duties.
49:41I'm rather looking forward
49:42to giving this kitchen
49:43a spring clean
49:44perhaps even
49:45a little rearranging.
49:47Oh so
49:48the stew
49:49gently simmering.
49:52So
49:52before I add
49:53my dumplings
49:54just enough time
49:55to fetch that
49:56sherry bottle
49:56my jaws.
49:58Ha ha ha!
49:59Oh!
50:00Excuse me!
50:02Nice to see him
50:03so contented again.
50:05Mm-hmm.
50:10Ivy
50:10there's something
50:11that I need to tell you
50:12about
50:13myself
50:13and Inspector Blake.
50:15I'm listening.
50:19Well he's coming to dinner
50:20so we need to
50:21set an extra place.
50:24And?
50:24and
50:31we are currently
50:33enjoying
50:34a quiet
50:35very private
50:36courtship.
50:40Goodness me
50:40I had no idea.
50:42You're a terrible liar.
50:44And you shouldn't
50:45have kept it from me.
50:46And you shouldn't
50:46be listening at doors.
50:48You and Inspector Blake
50:50that is music
50:52to my ears.
50:54But please
50:55keep it to yourself
50:55for now
50:55we're still working
50:56out our arrangement.
50:57My lips are sealed.
50:59Bottle of sherry.
51:02Barnabas
51:03Inspector Blake
51:04is joining us
51:04for dinner.
51:05Ha!
51:07I invited him.
51:09The more
51:10the merrier.
51:11We can enjoy
51:12a nice long game
51:12of gin rummy
51:13after dinner.

51:17to rights
51:17like won't that
51:18be marvellous?
51:20Marvellous.
51:21Marvellous.
51:30What is
51:31typical foresight?
51:33Brace yourself
51:34you're about
51:35to discover.
51:38Something rather
51:39exciting.
51:40What more
51:40does one need?
51:42How splendid.
51:45And it will be
51:52all that you've
51:53dreamed of
51:53and more.
52:02When was the
52:02body discovered?
52:03Two hours ago
52:04by a passerby.
52:05Crime scene
52:05is more challenging
52:06than usual.
52:07Crime scene?
52:08What happened
52:08to our agreement
52:09not to discuss
52:09work during our
52:10private time?
52:10Do you think
52:11it's alright for
52:11a copper to be
52:12romantically involved
52:13with a lady
52:13he works with?
52:14Maybe you have
52:14something to say
52:15detective
52:15who doesn't
52:15say it.
