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.
00:30I am angry.
00:45I am angry.
00:53I am angry.
00:58Come on.
01:14He's a little cutie.
01:16Come on Jack!
01:19Downy!
01:20Downy Jack!
01:21Downy!
01:22Downy!
01:23Downy!
01:24Downy!
01:25Downy!
01:26Down it! Down it! Down it!
01:56Down it! Down it!
02:26There you are.
02:42Inspector Blake, I can explain.
02:44Which part? Drugging a dozen men or stealing a priceless artefact?
02:49It was eight men, and I didn't steal anything.
02:52I returned it to the British Museum for a fee, I admit.
02:55But as soon as I'd done so, I immediately informed Scotland Yard's a new handgun.
02:58You could have killed one, if not all of them.
03:00A little order never hurt anyone, Inspector Blake.
03:05Perhaps we should continue this conversation aside.
03:11Perhaps I should have forewarned you of my plan.
03:14I'm sorry. Do you forgive me?
03:17No. Not remotely.
03:20We need to be discouraged.
03:23I'd better close the door then.
03:24I'll be fine.
03:25Have a great day!
03:26I'll see you later.
03:27Okay, so...
03:29Come on in.
03:31You can see this on the plane and I'm waiting for you.
03:37You're welcome.
03:38You're welcome.
03:43You're welcome.
03:46I'm up in the silence.
03:49I am and I am at your heart...
03:51We 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.
04:19No-one else knowing or interfering.
04:23Things are perfect as they are.
04:26Mostly, yes.
04:29What do you mean, mostly?
04:31Eliza, I have offered you three cases in the past fortnight,
04:34all 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. You didn't tell him, did you?
04:49The truth is, I'm worried what it would be like working together now.
04:55As do I.
04:56But there's only one way to find out.
04:58That's why I've never been in this situation before.
05:01I don't want anything to ruin it.
05:06Eliza!
05:07Inspector Blake, how nice to see you again.
05:13Spots.
05:14I see more of you here than I do at work.
05:18What do you want for dinner?
05:19Anything's fine.
05:21What's wrong?
05:25Nothing.
05:26You're usually fussy about what you have for dinner.
05:32I 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.
05:39Be sure that you do, Miss Scarlett.
05:41I'll see you ask, Inspector Blake.
05:45Your spot.
05:46Inspector Blake.
05:47I know that girl inside out.
05:59And I've never seen her so happy.
06:02And I've a sneaky inkling as to why.
06:05Don't go asking me to share my inklings with you, Barnabas.
06:08We both know what you're like with secrets.
06:12Barnabas, you finally touched your bacon.
06:15I cannot deny I'm in a little trouble to my dear.
06:24Why?
06:25What's happened?
06:29As you know, I like to keep all the mortuaries under my charge, spick and span.
06:35However, recently chaos has begun to seep through the cracks.
06:40Cracks caused, I'm sorry to say, by our Chief Coroner.
06:42Mr Wormsley.
06:45He'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 whisky about him.
07:00Oh, you must speak to him.
07:02It's not fair to lay extra work at your door.
07:03There is a strict chain of command one must respect, my beloved.
07:07If everyone went around saying all that was on their minds, there would be-
07:10Panicky?
07:12Precisely.
07:13Then, all I can offer is a kiss.
07:20Might that soothe your furrowed brow?
07:25Yes.
07:26Yes, my Joel, yes.
07:27That may have evade some of my discomfort.
07:31All right.
07:32See you later.
07:33Excuse me, I 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. It's my first day.
08:09Really? Mine too.
08:11End of the corridor, you say?
08:13On the right, I think.
08:15I'll give it a try. Thank you.
08:17Oh, good luck.
08:20You too.
08:26Pardon.
08:28Well, when is Mr Wormsley due in?
08:29Very well. Please let him know that we're still waiting on the post-mortem from yesterday.
08:36Come.
08:38Detective Willow, supportive producer.
08:40Yes, I'm well aware who you are, Detective Willow.
08:42Please.
08:50You seem to have something on your lapel.
08:52I do apologise, sir. Teeth 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 afraid 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 Phelps is...
09:18It's at the City of London Police, sir.
09:20Yeah, I have some mates there.
09:22What are they saying about him?
09:25He's doing very well, sir.
09:29You can speak freely.
09:33He's a bit of a character, is what I hear, sir.
09:36Indeed he is.
09:36So, are you ready to get to work?
09:40Yes, sir.
09:40Very much so.
09:42And thank you again for giving me the job.
09:46I won't let you down.
09:47Glad to hear it.
09:50Two dead bodies for our immediate attention.
09:52One in a townhouse in Mayfair, the other in a cold, drafty alleyway in 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.
10:06It's not that business has dried up completely, but things have been rather quiet, particularly from Scotland Yard.
10:20Yeah, things will pick up, Clarence.
10:22They always do.
10:22Well, yes, but we haven't had a single case from Scotland Yard for some time, though.
10:27Well, it has been unseasonably cold, which, as you know, does have an effect on the crime levels.
10:32Usually, in such lean times, you'd be accusing Scotland Yard of employing an alternative agency.
10:39Usually, you'd be on your feet and out the door to talk to the inspector.
10:43Usually...
10:43Well, at least not saying usually.
10:46This is about you and Inspector Blake, isn't it?
10:52I have no idea what you mean.
10:53Oh, I think you do.
10:57You have offended him in some way, and he's refusing to employ you.
11:02I guess your powers of deduction still need honing, Clarence.
11:08I can assure you, Inspector Blake and I are on the best of terms.
11:11Professionally speaking.
11:17Now, can you please drop that odd-looking frown?
11:19It'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?
11:51Take her back to the yard.
11:57Get her a cup of tea.
11:58Yes, sir.
12:02Come on, now.
12:18No evidence of a robbery.
12:21No sign of a struggle.
12:40Potassium bromide.
12:45Victims well-dressed.
12:47There's no obvious signs of attack.
12:48It doesn't look like a theft.
12:54She's still got her purse.
12:55Yes, sir.
12:55Two bottles of potassium bromide.
13:19Two dead women.
13:20Coincident, sir.
13:26Tell me about your lady.
13:29Her name was Elizabeth Roper.
13:33Passerby said that she was having some sort of fit before she died.
13:37Convulsions and such.
13:37I've asked Uniform to do house-to-house inquiries.
13:42I also have a potential witness.
13:44A young woman.
13:45She seems traumatised by whatever she saw.
13:47Hasn't said a word, not even her name.
13:50When I was at Bow Street,
13:51if we had a female witness who was in shock,
13:55we used to ask one of the secretaries to sit with her for a bit.
13:57Do you have any ladies you could ask?
14:08An urgent request from Scotland Yard?
14:11That's welcome news indeed.
14:15Shall I get you a can?
14:16Not yet.
14:18I'm thinking.
14:20May I point out that you've been reading the same telegram
14:23for almost ten minutes now?
14:26What if another case comes in?
14:28Something bigger, more lucrative?
14:30I don't understand.
14:32Well, it's a fairly simple concept.
14:34I don't understand,
14:35because that's literally never bothered you before.
14:37Am I missing something?
14:42Fine.
14:43Fine.
14:44I'll go.
14:45I'll go.
14:46Miss 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.
15:16There's no rush.
15:22Take your time.
15:24As I said, my name's Miss Scarlet,
15:26but you can call me Eliza.
15:30And you are?
15:31My name's Sarah Mason.
15:37She 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 to find Miss Quail collapsed on the floor.
15:46What was her reason for going to Miss Quail's home?
15:48Well, Miss Mason is a secretary to a doctor on Harley Street at, uh, Isambard Coal.
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?
16:24Well, this 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.
16:38Eliza.
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.
17:23You 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?
17:45Yeah, 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, so 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.
19:14Two 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.
19:40The poor creature suffers from a nervous disposition.
19:44She will be most traumatised.
19:46Well, yes, that's why I interviewed her.
19:49Because as a woman, Inspector Blake thought it might help.
19:52Since Miss Mason is also a woman.
19:59Lady Detective.
20:00How curious.
20:02Do you often work together?
20:04I have a long-standing relationship, working relationship with Scott Lignard, not just Inspector Blake, so...
20:08Well, that's why I'm here.
20:14Both of the deceased were found with the same medication.
20:18Potassium bromide.
20:20Was it you who prescribed that?
20:22To control the melancholia from which they both suffered.
20:25They were also undergoing a course of electrotherapy.
20:27I used the updated adaptation of the Povermarkers technique.
20:31Oh.
20:32Yes, I've read about this.
20:34Patients are given electrical currents that pass through the body to the brain.
20:38It's...
20:38It's a calm the mind of agitation.
20:42All right, I told you about this.
20:45At your office.
20:46At Scotland Yard.
20:48Yes, Miss Connett.
20:49Thank 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.
21:29We will need a list of all other patients prescribed with potassium bromide.
21:35Yes, of course.
21:37It may not be a factor, but until we see the postmortem, we cannot be sure.
21:41Yes.
21:42You mentioned that your secretary, Miss Mason, suffers from a nervous condition.
21:46Is she also on this medication?
21:48Yes, she is.
21:50I'll add her to the list.
21:56I'll speak to Miss Mason.
21:57Then must you and your men track down the other patients.
22:03What?
22:04You'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? I had no idea.
22:17I'll go and visit Miss Mason.
22:19Would you like a lift?
22:21No, no, no.
22:22The less we're seen together, the better.
22:24Good day, Inspector Flake.
22:27Hold 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 trying to see Mr Wormsley?
23:09I'm afraid not.
23:09I can find hide the hair of him.
23:12If 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.
23:23Hello again.
23:25Did you find it, the clerical office?
23:26I did.
23:27You're a lifesaver.
23:28Thanks so much.
23:29How's your first day?
23:31So far, so good.
23:32Glad to hear it.
23:34I didn't get your name.
23:37Willows.
23:37Detective Willows.
23:38George Willows.
23:40It's a lot of names.
23:42I'm just Isabel.
23:44Well, Isabel Summers.
23:46Nice to meet you, Detective George Willows.
24:00Miss Mason?
24:18Miss Mason?
24:28Who are you?
24:30Do 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?
24:59Well...
24:59We can't be certain.
25:01But 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.
25:13And 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.
25:30May I ask why you're taking the medication?
25:32Life has been a struggle for me.
25:36I grew up in an orphanage.
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.
25:54And then he trained me as his secretary.
25:58He taught me to read and write.
26:04A 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.
26:28Sounds like the man you described is Zebediah Sawyer.
26:33He's a long-standing patient of mine.
26:36A poor creature plagued by demonic voices telling him to cause people harm.
26:42When was the last time you saw him?
26:45Last week.
26:46He 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?
27:01An act of revenge, perhaps?
27:03Zebediah developed his condition in his early 20s,
27:07but before that, he was a functioning member of society.
27:11He had several different jobs,
27:12including being a clerk at a pharmacist store.
27:18Could he have the skill to temper with the medication you prescribed?
27:20The bottles you found on the dead women, could I see them?
27:26Both bottles are wrongly labelled.
27:33According to Dr. Cole,
27:34one 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 the Zebediah Sawyer tampered with the labels?
27:49Perhaps 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.
28:04He was looking for Mr. Wernsey.
28:06Grayson, get yourself down to the city mortuary.
28:07Find out what's going on over there.
28:08Yes, sir.
28:09Do 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.
28:27What? Why?
28:31Miss Gullet, the man we are hunting is extremely dangerous.
28:35Then I will be careful, as we all will.
28:39I have many resources for such scenarios.
28:46I will take some hide muscle with me.
28:52Will you bring me to the nicest place?
28:55Have a wardens to mind, Clarence.
28:57I need two more to go.
28:59What's the next address?
29:00It's just a few doors down.
29:03This Zebediah Sawyer clearly likes this neighbourate.
29:06I'm curious.
29:07Why 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?
29:17What's changed?
29:18Nothing's changed.
29:19I just want to tell Inspector Blake the truth, that's all.
29:23Premises moved to Belmont Street.
29:25What?
29:29So, you told the inspector that I'm your hired muscle?
29:32Oh, 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, see what we can find out.
29:43Apparently the man's a heavy drinker.
29:45I'll go to this Belmont Street boarding house, see if there's been any sign of him.
29:52You're sending me to the roughest pubs this side of the city to look for a heavy drinker
29:56who 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?
30:05Unsatisfactory.
30:06I'm looking for Mrs. Potts.
30:28Your founder?
30:29I present 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, and you are.
30:38Good evening, Detective Willows.
30:40Miss Summers, how 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, that's all.
31:04Sir, 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.
31:24Sir, but I can hold my tongue no longer.
31:27Sir, things need to be said before the good reputation of this mortuary is forever tarnished.
31:35Get that!
31:37And stay out!
31:41What the?
31:48I...
31:48Thank you for your time.
31:56If there's any sighting at all of Mr. Sawyer, then please contact the police immediately.
32:01He's extremely dangerous.
32:26I 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!
32:51I made myself look an idiot.
33:05You'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?
33:13I haven't even called you Alexander!
33:15Detective Willows won't care.
33:18He'll put it down to you being scared witless.
33:21Which, by the way, is allowed, since you are a mere mortal like the rest of us.
33:25Tying myself in knots, thinking, what should I say?
33:31What should I do?
33:33How would I behave if I were a normal detective?
33:36I'm not exactly where you're normal.
33:40I'm more concerned that you put yourself at risk.
33:42It 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.
33:52Clarence was with me for most of the time.
33:54Clarence was your hired muscle.
33:56Years of carrying ledgers 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.
34:08Liza, you're overreacting.
34:10I think...
34:12One of the lads just came by with a message for you, Inspector.
34:16Thank you, Mrs. Ross.
34:18Hmm.
34:22I have to go.
34:25I've made a decision.
34:30I will no longer work on the case.
34:32Don't be ridiculous.
34:34I want our...
34:35courtship romance.
34:38Whatever you want to call it.
34:40To have a fighting chance.
34:43This is the best way.
34:45Well, for what it's worth, I think you're wrong.
34:49No one knows about us, Liza.
34:52But you must do what's right for you.
34:57Have 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?
35:02I dried her eyes when Arabella Herbert called her the cruelest of names.
35:07Or 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.
35:17Hmm.
35:18Oh.
35:19I was dismissed.
35:22Mr. Wormsley finally arrived at work at five o'clock this evening.
35:26Five o'clock!
35:26Well, I could take no more, so I gave him a piece of my mind.
35:30Oh, Barnabas, I am sorry.
35:31He would not even allow me to collect my things.
35:34Threw me out like a vagrant.
35:36Ruin my hat.
35:37And do you know what else he called me?
35:40A vexatious buffoon.
35:42Well, 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...
35:51I'm unemployed.
35:54Oh.
35:56Why 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.
36:05Yes.
36:06Good evening.
36:07Good that it were.
36:10What'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?
36:23Like what?
36:28Dinner will be in an hour.
36:33We will.
36:41Good evening, sir.
36:43Detective Willows.
36:44What have we got?
36:45It was pulled out about an hour ago.
36:48There's a gunshot wound to the head.
36:50And do we know who he is?
36:53I think this is our man, sir.
36:55He certainly fits the description.
37:00Oh, Zebediah.
37:02What did you do?
37:03You can confirm that this is your patient, Zebediah Sawyer?
37:11It is.
37:12Is it possible that he could have taken his own life?
37:16Is it possible that he could have taken his own life?
37:19The 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.
37:30I tried to persuade him to stop, but he had a chaotic mind.
37:41It's late.
37:42I'll come by in the morning to take a full statement.
37:46Get some rest, doctor.
37:47I did everything I could to help him.
37:48But over the years, I've come to realize that some people are beyond help.
38:02It'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 in search of this
38:27Zebediah Sawyer in one particularly grotty establishment called the Plague Pit.
38:34I ran into a spot and bothered with some of the locals.
38:36I honestly think I would have been safer in an actual Plague Pit.
38:40I had to buy five rounds of roughest whiskey for the whole pub.
38:47That is the only reason I'm still alive.
38:50Well, thank you for your efforts.
38:53But Scotland Yard are no longer in need of our services.
38:59What?
39:00Why not?
39:02Well...
39:03Because I just received a telegram from Inspector Blake.
39:09A 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.
39:27What?
39:27Yes.
39:28He's awaiting sentencing in Manchester County Prison.
39:31He's awaiting sentencing in Manchester City Prison.
39:39He's awaiting sentencing in Manchester City Prison.
39:42He's awaiting sentencing in Manchester City Prison.
39:43He's awaiting sentencing in Manchester City Prison.
39:46He's awaiting sentencing in Manchester City Prison.
39:47He's awaiting sentencing in Manchester City Prison.
39:50He's awaiting sentencing in Manchester City Prison.
39:52He's awaiting sentencing in Manchester City Prison.
39:54He's awaiting sentencing in Manchester City Prison.
39:56He's awaiting sentencing in Manchester City Prison.
39:57He's awaiting sentencing in Manchester City Prison.
39:58He's awaiting sentencing in Manchester City Prison.
39:59Barnabas, I heard about your dismissal.
40:09I'm sorry.
40:12I've been instructed to come by to pick up my personal fix.
40:15Do you happen to know if Mr. Wormsley's in attendance?
40:18Well, no one appears to be here. The door was left open.
40:22Mr. Wormsley's gone out and left the door on the ledge.
40:25Not for the first time.
40:27I'm pleased that you're here because I need your assistance.
40:30I'd like to look at the photographs of two recent post-mortems,
40:33the dead women brought in yesterday.
40:35I'm afraid that as a former employee,
40:38I'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, no, of course not.
40:52Well, I am here on official police business.
40:56So, perhaps if you assist me...
40:59then I can grant you permission.
41:02And you do need to collect your things, do you not?
41:13Very well.
41:14Miss Scarlett.
41:22Would 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.
41:51Dr. Cole?
41:53Miss Mason.
42:15Sarah.
42:16Please, put the gun down.
42:19Whatever'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.
43:15Which is why I left my position and I never saw her again.
43:22I had no idea she was with child.
43:26Or that she died in childbirth.
43:30I only found out years later through some research I was carrying out at the Woolwich Workhouse.
43:37There I found a file on Sarah.
43:39By that time she'd left, but I was determined to find her.
43:48I 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.
44:24His name is Franklin Sloan.
44:29He's a private detective who helped me track Sarah down.
44:32Two 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.
44:44But when I found out he'd visited Sarah,
44:47I 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.
45:00So if Sloan didn't poison them, who did?
45:07It was me.
45:09I made a mistake.
45:11Got confused by the different medicine dosages and mixed up the information on the labels.
45:17All of this is my fault.
45:20I am the one to blame, not Sarah.
45:26The poor child had not long learned to read and write.
45:31I pushed her.
45:33Too hard.
45:37Gave her too much responsibility.
45:39I was just so proud of her.
45:44So you blamed Sloan to protect your daughter.
45:48Then you killed him.
45:51Not before he told Miss Mason the truth.
45:53This morning, I woke up to find an envelope had been slipped under my door in the night.
46:04And it was a file where I learned that Dr. Cole was my father.
46:13I was so angry and confused.
46:19In a rage, she picked up my revolver.
46:23She didn't mean to hurt me.
46:25The same revolver used to put a bullet in Sloan's head.
46:28So what happens now?
46:41Well, given the circumstances, if Miss Mason puts in a guilty plea and finishes, she'll
46:45avoid a prison sentence.
46:47Dr. Cole, on the other hand.
46:51Do you still have that whiskey in your office?
46:54Are you suggesting being seen entering my office?
46:56Together.
46:57Together.
46:58Very funny.
47:06Good night, Detective Willows.
47:08Miss Summers, good night to you.
47:13Was there anything else you wanted to say to me?
47:16Or ask me?
47:18No, I don't think so.
47:20Shame.
47:22Because I'm free this evening.
47:25I'm afraid I'm not.
47:26I have to pick up the baby from 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, good night, Detective Willows.
47:40But I'm free tomorrow night.
47:43I'm glad you changed your mind about working the case.
47:59The outcome could have been very different.
48:03It's a long story.
48:04It's a long story.
48:04It would have worked it out.
48:06Probably, yes.
48:10Eliza.
48:11You don't need to say it.
48:13You didn't know what I was going to say.
48:15You're going to say that me believing I could keep us in some sort of bubbles, not only childish, but unrealistic.
48:21I was going to say, as an ex-military man, structure and control run through my veins.
48:32But over the years, I've learned that trying to control too much of your life is futile.
48:36And when you stop trying to do so, that's where the real freedom lies.
48:47Oh, and there's one more thing.
48:49Goodness, I don't know how much more wisdom I can take.
48:54The burden of this situation might be eased if you were to confide in someone.
48:59Someone other than me.
49:06Barnabas!
49:18Barnabas!
49:19What?
49:20Are you cooking dinner?
49:21Indeed I am, my beloved.
49:23Now, sit down, put your feet up, and I'll go and fetch you a nice glass of sherry.
49:29What's brought all this on?
49:31I've decided there's no point in moping about.
49:33So, until I receive a full and satisfactory apology from Mr. Wormsley, I shall be in charge of household duties.
49:41I'm rather looking forward to giving this kitchen a spring clean, perhaps even a little rearranging.
49:47Oh, so, the stew.
49:50Gently simmering.
49:52So, before I add my dumplings, just enough time to fetch that sherry bottle, my George.
49:57Oh, scuse me!
50:02Nice to see him so contented again.
50:05Mm-hmm.
50:10Ivy, there's something that I need to tell you about myself and Inspector Blake.
50:15I'm listening.
50:19Well, he's coming to dinner, so we need to set an extra place.
50:22And?
50:24And?
50:30And we are currently enjoying a quiet, very private courtship.
50:39Goodness me, I had no idea.
50:42You're a terrible liar.
50:44And you shouldn't have kept it from me.
50:46And you shouldn't be listening at doors.
50:47You and Inspector Blake.
50:51That is music to my ears.
50:54But please, keep it to yourself for now.
50:56We're still working out our arrangement.
50:57My lips are sealed.
50:59Bottle of sherry.
51:02Barnabas, Inspector Blake is joining us for dinner.
51:05Ha!
51:07I invited him.
51:09The more, the merrier.
51:11We can enjoy a nice, long game of gin rummy after dinner.
51:13The four of us, all evening, putting the world to rights.
51:17Oh, won't that be marvellous?
51:20Marvellous.
51:21Marvellous.
51:30What is typical foresight?
51:33Brace yourself.
51:34You're about to discover.
51:38Something rather exciting.
51:40What more does one need?
51:42How splendid.
51:43And it will be all that you've dreamed of.
51:54And more.
52:02When was the body discovered?
52:03Two hours ago, while I passed by.
52:05Crime scene is more challenging than usual.
52:07Crime scene?
52:08What happened to our agreement not to discuss work during our private time?
52:10Do you think it's alright for a coppers to be romantically involved with a lady he works with?
52:14We do have something to say, Detective Lewis, and say it.
