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 can assure you the truth is that you are aiding in the future.
00:46I can assure you the truth is that you are aiding in the future.
00:51I don't know.
01:21I don't know.
01:51Hello?
02:04Hello?
02:05Hello?
02:06Hello?
02:07Hello?
02:08Hello?
02:09Hello?
02:10Hello?
02:11Hello?
02:12Hello?
02:13Hello?
02:14Hello?
02:15Hello?
02:16Hello?
02:17Hello?
02:18Hello?
02:19Hello?
02:20Hello?
02:21Hello?
02:22What are you doing here?
02:23Oh, it seems an urgent night to come to this address.
02:26As did I.
02:28Condemned asylum.
02:30Think of nicer places to meet.
02:34Hello?
02:35Hello?
02:36Welcome to my office.
02:41Miss Scarlet?
02:44Inspector Blick?
02:45I 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.
03:20On the face of it, there are no suspicious circumstances.
03:24But, Sir Joseph spent much of his time moving between the foreign embassies.
03:29So, I am duty bound to make sure there is no foul play.
03:33Your assistance in this matter will of course be rewarded with a generous increase in manpower and resources in your next budget review.
03:43And for you, Miss Scarlet, shall we say, double your usual fee?
03:51In return, I want a full written report on the circumstances of Sir Joseph's death.
03:56For my eyes only, of course.
03:58This investigation is strictly off the books.
04:03Do whatever you need to do.
04:04Just, um, be discreet.
04:09Oh, there 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.
04:20All officers will be made to sign a declaration of interest, outlining any relationships with those they deal with in the line of duty.
04:29So, given the two of you are now romantically involved, this will be the last time you work together.
04:41Hm.
04:42Drink?
04:43We good, double.
04:44We good, double.
04:45We good, double.
04:46We good, double.
04:50We good, double.
04:51We good, double.
04:52We good, double.
04:53We good, double.
04:55We good, double.
05:00We good, double.
05:01If you do, we try.
05:32We 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.
06:12I know you are.
06:16To our last case.
06:19Our last case.
06:21Whatever the future brings,
06:23you will prevail.
06:26And if you don't, you can always blame me.
06:27Thank you, Inspector Blake.
06:30I appreciate it.
06:49Well, if this is to be our last case,
06:51we 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.
07:08I don't know.
07:21I don't know.
07:21I don't know.
07:22I don't know.
07:23I don't know.
07:24I don't know.
07:31So Joseph Milner was a senior minister at the Foreign Office,
07:36right-hand man to the Foreign Secretary.
07:38Yes, I read about him. He died from a hunting accident.
07:42The official story is he fell from his horse, cut his leg,
07:46the wound got infected, he developed a fever, dying a few days later.
07:49Official story? That's not what happened.
07:52That's what we intend to find out.
07:54Oh, you think perhaps he was murdered? What makes you think that?
07:56Well, we can't go into detail. Not yet, at least.
08:00Sir Joseph, mixed at the highest levels of Parliament, Whitehall,
08:03any number of foreign embassies,
08:04we 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?
08:19With a little help from me.
08:23The area of our bogus street thefts will include Park Lane, where Sir Joseph lived,
08:27as well as the government offices in Whitehall and the embassies he frequented.
08:32We need you two to poke around at the areas that require, well, less conventional methods.
08:39Myself and Inspector Blake will deal with the face-to-face interviews,
08:41gaining access to the premises to see what we can learn about Sir Joseph.
08:44And to avoid suspicion, we'll have an increased uniform presence on the streets,
08:48just as we would in a genuine investigation.
08:50So this is to stay strictly between the four of us?
08:53Five. I have a man on the inside.
08:55The robberies took place in Mayfair and Westminster,
08:58so there will be extra patrols on the street.
09:00Anyone who looks suspicious, or anyone who think may have seen something,
09:03pull them over, see what they have to say.
09:05Yeah, right, guys.
09:05I have a question, sir.
09:08I haven't heard anything about these robberies.
09:10Me neither.
09:11Where are the incident reports?
09:14There's a backlog in the clerical office.
09:16No doubt the incident reports are being processed as we speak.
09:23And those two case files you wanted?
09:26Thanks, mate.
09:27Do you have a moment, Mrs Potts?
09:28Of course, Detective Willis.
09:35I need some incident reports.
09:37Oh, if you'd just give me the reference numbers, I can find them for you right away.
09:40It's...
09:40It's a little more complicated than that.
09:44A delicate matter that requires the utmost discretion.
09:51Ladies, listen up.
09:54There's been a spate of street thefts,
09:56and Detective Willis is making this a top priority.
10:00So we need to stop what we're doing
10:01and type up the incident report right away.
10:04Yes, ma'am.
10:05Yes, ma'am.
10:10I'm not stopping down this road here.
10:13I don't see anything at all.
10:14I have heard of no robberies on this street.
10:33It 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.
10:48I'm very sorry to hear that, sir.
10:56It was a shock to the entire staff.
10:59Sir Joseph was a good man.
11:02This particular gang liked to target wealthy gentlemen and follow them to their residence.
11:07Sir Joseph would go to Whitehall to work, and then to various embassies around the city.
11:28He'd come back late with...
11:30He enjoyed the company of ladies.
11:38That is all I shall say.
11:39There 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?
11:58Quiet, well-mannered, not given to voicing strong opinions.
12:04He was a politician.
12:06Well, exactly.
12:07Butler said much the same.
12:09Although there was one thing of interest.
12:10Apparently, Sir Joseph liked female company.
12:15Lovers or ladies of the night?
12:17He wouldn't say.
12:18I tried to press him, but he wouldn't give details.
12:21He may wish to preserve his reputation.
12:25No one wants a butler who gossips.
12:27No, it was something else.
12:29Something I can't put my finger on.
12:33What?
12:40Nothing.
12:42What?
12:47I'll miss this.
12:49Us working together.
12:57So you were saying?
12:59We need to see the coroner's report into Sir Joseph's death.
13:03I can't request a father in the mortuary of a court of 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 apologized.
13:16God knows Ivy's tried.
13:18There's no one else who might persuade him?
13:19Perhaps 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.
14:15What do you want?
14:16I want to talk to you about a friend I've made.
14:26Oh, what a muddle indeed.
14:28Mr. Potts, it is grand to see you back.
14:40Oh, it's good to be back, Detective Willows.
14:44Mr. Wormsley's change of heart was most unexpected.
14:47But to his credit, he apologized.
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?
15:01The place is in total disarray and in need of urgent attention.
15:05But as I always say...
15:07The world is going to hell in a handcart.
15:09If you want something doing, ask a busy person.
15:12Well, 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.
15:28I got your message.
15:36Is this him?
15:36He's been delivering coal to the Joseph's house twice a week for the past three years.
15:41I thought he could give us some insight into the minister's domestic staff.
15:45If this gentleman, for want of a better word, has a criminal record for assault, he broke a man's arm in an arm wrestling match.
15:54Well, he's a big man.
15:57I mean, he didn't win.
15:58He lost.
15:58That'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.
16:07I thought he could give us useful leverage when we question him.
16:11A man like that won't take too kindly to leverage.
16:16Well, just to confirm, should this turn into a physical confrontation, that is very much your department, not mine.
16:24Leave it with me.
16:35No, it's about to start.
16:38Come on, come on.
16:51Come on.
16:52I'm no match for you, my friend.
17:18Drink?
17:22Well, that would be more swell, come on.
17:31Mrs. 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. I'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.
18:10Well, 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.
18:19Thank you, Mrs. Potts.
18:30So, here's what we know.
18:32Sir Joseph liked the women, and his butler slightly shifty.
18:36Is that it?
18:38I'm afraid 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?
18:49Constantly.
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 opt and croaked it.
19:26And there's something else?
19:28Even though he lives in a servants' quarters,
19:31Mr. Lawrence rents a lodging room in Whitechapel.
19:34Do you have the address?
19:36Of course he does.
19:53Mr. Lawrence?
19:58Mr. Lawrence.
20:12Thank you, Inspector Blake.
20:25Mr. Lawrence.
20:41How is he?
20:46The doctor isn't sure what's wrong with him.
20:48He has a fever, breathing problems and muscle spasms in his neck and jaw.
20:52Sounds like tetanus.
20:54They're considering it.
20:56They can't see any wounds on his body that would trigger the infection.
20:59Mr. Scarlett? Sir?
21:01I 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.
21:08The cause of death was given as cardiac arrest, most likely due to tetanus.
21:12So Joseph and his butler both were suspected tetanus?
21:17Bit odd, isn't it? Given that it's not infectious.
21:20Odd and unlikely.
21:22Mr. Potts said there was something else that caused those symptoms.
21:25Strictening poisoning.
21:27Mr. Wormsley was most keen to hear all about my ideas for improving the mortuary.
21:39I must say he's a changed man.
21:41Oh, it's good indeed to be back.
21:44But alas, I shall have to withdraw my application to be office manager at Scotland Yard.
21:51I'm so sorry to disappoint you, my Jewel.
21:54I know how much you are relishing us working together.
21:57Scotland Yard's loss is the mortuary's game, Barnabas.
22:02Thank you, my beloved. Thank you.
22:06Right. I have an extremely long to-do list.
22:10This great city of ours seems to increase its supply of the dead each and every day.
22:16But as I always, I...
22:18If you want something doing, ask a busy person.
22:20No. We're just going to head in a handcart.
22:23It's nice to have my happy Barnabas back again.
22:30Now we just need to work on you.
22:33I'm fine.
22:35Then why does your face tell me otherwise?
22:38You've been very quiet.
22:46There are changes coming at Scotland Yard.
22:49Inspector Blake will have to declare our relationship
22:52and we will no longer be able to work together.
22:57Well, 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...
23:06Please don't say it.
23:07...you don't know what I was going to say.
23:08When 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.
23:14I wasn't going to say that.
23:16Yes, you were.
23:17How 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.
23:26You know a gentleman covers his mouth when he yawns?
23:28The gentleman doesn't stay up all night doing things.
23:30I don't know.
23:31You know a gentleman covers his mouth when he yawns.
23:32The gentleman doesn't stay up all night doing things.
23:34background checks.
23:35What did you find?
23:36What did you find?
23:37Nothing.
23:38Nothing.
23:39Heart surgery.
23:40What did you find?
23:41What did you find?
23:42What did you find?
23:43Nothing.
23:44Heart surgery as if household staff were clean.
23:46What did you find?
23:48What did you find?
23:49What did you find?
23:50I don't know.
23:51What did you find?
23:52What did you find?
23:53You know a gentleman covers his mouth when he yawns.
23:54Gentleman doesn't stay up all night doing background checks.
23:56What did you find?
23:58What did you find?
23:59Nothing.
24:00All Sir Joseph's household staff were clean.
24:13I'm getting too old for this.
24:16Are you taking a nap? In here?
24:18Yes!
24:21If you stop talking.
24:23This is a place of work, not a lodging house.
24:33Aha!
24:36I think I found something.
24:38Just before he died, a large transfer of money was made from Sir Joseph's bank account to a small German bank in the city.
24:50We need to find out who this bank account belongs to.
24:55Come along.
24:57No time to rest.
25:01Hurry up!
25:02If it was here Mr Lawrence collapsed, so I would wager it was poison.
25:11Someone would use strychnine as a poison of choice.
25:15I imagine they'd put it in food or drink.
25:19The question is, who would want to poison the butler and his employer?
25:23I almost told Sophia about us last night.
25:35Well, almost?
25:37I'd like to do it together.
25:41I hope she takes it well.
25:43She's certainly very fond of you.
25:45She thinks you're funny.
25:47Funny? Is it odd?
25:48Funny isn't amusing.
25:51Although you are a little odd.
26:06Alexander.
26:10That's an awful lot of watches for one man.
26:13Especially for someone on a butler's wage.
26:15What's this?
26:16Cooling cars.
26:22Countess Polchek.
26:25Russian Embassy.
26:32There has been a recent spate of robberies in the area, Ambassador Polchek.
26:37I have heard nothing of these robberies of which we speak.
26:42The thieves have been targeting ladies mostly, which is why Miss Scarlet is helping Scotland Yard with our inquiries.
26:48During our investigations we were able to recover some of the stolen items.
26:51One of which is a silver card holder belonging to Countess Polchek.
27:01Is she a relative of yours?
27:04She's my wife.
27:05But 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?
27:16My wife and I, we have parted ways.
27:25She has returned to Russia.
27:28That is all I wish to say on the matter.
27:30It'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?
27:40I suppose if I don't tell you, some gossiping servant will.
27:52She had been seeing a lover.
27:55Sir Joseph Milner.
28:00I can only assume that the calling cards were stolen from his residence.
28:05You are aware Sir Joseph passed away last week?
28:08I am.
28:10And for full disclosure, 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.
28:28What kind of argument?
28:30He was on the street with two men.
28:35They seemed frustrated with him.
28:38One started shouting.
28:40I couldn't understand what they were saying.
28:43It was not in English.
28:45What language was it?
28:47It was, I believe, German.
28:50German?
29:04Name and address of the account holder that Sir Joseph made payments to.
29:09How did you get that?
29:12Too charm and charisma.
29:13All right, fine, I bribe the teller.
29:17The account belongs to a Mr. Klaus Lang.
29:21He's been visiting the bank every week to withdraw £100 on each visit.
29:26Always on the same day, always at the same time and always with an associate.
29:30So, you pay a visit to this address.
29:33I shall head back to the office to carry on digging into Sir Joseph's finances.
29:37What?
29:40None.
29:44You're impressed, aren't you?
29:46I can tell.
29:49Perhaps.
29:50Perhaps.
30:06Sir Joseph did not pay well.
30:08I've no regrets about stealing from him.
30:13One of the items you stole was a silver case containing the calling cards of the Russian ambassador's wife.
30:17She left her bag at the house one evening.
30:21You are aware they were having an affair?
30:23Of course.
30:25She wasn't the first.
30:26Believe me.
30:29What of these two German men Sir Joseph was arguing with the day before he died?
30:34I was not there.
30:36It was my day off.
30:42Talk us through the hours before you became ill.
30:45Everything you did.
30:48I finished work about nine o'clock, then went back to my lodging room.
30:54I needed some money that I kept there.
30:58I rested a while, smoked a pipe.
31:01Then, the next thing I remember, I was gasping for breath and everything went black.
31:06Where did you get the tobacco from?
31:08It 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.
31:27Well...
31:28And yes, I am aware that I have not given 24 hours' notice of my arrival.
31:43Oh...
31:44And yes, I am aware that there is a strict protocol, but...
31:47Oh, protocol be damned!
31:49You're always welcome here, Eliza.
31:51Come in!
31:54Come in!
31:55Ah, strict name.
31:56It would usually be found in the stomach and intestines of a cadaver.
32:05Assuming it had been ingested, which is the most common form of poisoning.
32:10What if you inhaled it?
32:13Say, through tobacco?
32:15Oh, yes.
32:16That would work.
32:17Rather rapidly too.
32:20Of course, the expert in such matters is Mr. Wormsley.
32:23And he seems rather on edge recently.
32:26Perhaps the joy of my return has overwhelmed him.
32:30Well, I'd rather we get this conversation to ourselves.
32:33My questions are related to a rather highly confidential case.
32:35One which myself and Inspector Blake were like your opinion.
32:38And yours alone.
32:41Inspector Blake asked for me?
32:43Personally?
32:44He did?
32:48Then I'm at your disposal.
32:53We shall start with the basics of toxicology.
32:57Dosage, absorption, exposure.
33:06Pull out anyone with a German background.
33:11Particularly those with convictions for violent crime.
33:15Mrs. Potts.
33:17You take the A's.
33:18Yes.
33:19Willows.
33:21The B's.
33:23And you keep going till we run out of alphabet.
33:24This is going to be thirsty work.
33:26How about I organize a nice cup of tea for us all?
33:28Oh, sounds like a very sensible plan, Mrs. Potts.
33:30Right.
33:32I understand the disciplinary board wrote to you.
33:34Yes, sir.
33:35Hearing's in a couple of days.
33:37How are you feeling about it all?
33:46Haven't slept in a week.
33:47Haven't eaten much either.
33:49My sister says I'm like a bear with a sore head.
33:52And I'm like a bear.
33:54Yes, I'm like a bear with a sore head.
33:57And I'm so excited.
33:59You've almost done it, it's the same way.
34:01Oh, that's the same way.
34:02My sister says, I'm like a bear with a sore head.
34:07Apart from that, I'm doing fine, sir.
34:10Well, I'll be there to speak for you.
34:12And in the meantime, try not to dwell on it.
34:14My sister also said that.
34:16Sounds like a wise woman, Detective Willows.
34:20I wanted to give you an update on the case.
34:24Was Sir Joseph murdered?
34:27I believe so, yes.
34:30Can you have evidence?
34:32We're working on it.
34:34Inspector Blake and I will have a full report for you soon.
34:41Are you in love with him?
34:44Pardon?
34:45It's a simple question.
34:47And one that bears no relevance to the investigation.
34:51I'll take that as a yes.
34:52So, may I give you some advice?
34:55As two women working in the underbelly of this great city,
34:59I am sure we have faced similar challenges.
35:01One of which being loneliness.
35:04And of course, each man carries his own merits,
35:09when it comes to passing the short amount of time we have on this earth.
35:12But to love someone fully, completely,
35:18that would be a mistake.
35:22For a woman, financial independence is everything.
35:28Do not make the mistake of trusting in a man.
35:34Any man.
35:35They will always put their own needs above ours.
35:42Without exception.
35:47It's a rather bleak view.
35:50And one that I don't share.
35:52Yes, you do.
35:57Yes, you do.
36:14Yep, yep.
36:15I will.
36:27You have to like a blog.
36:29It's not like you are.
36:30You have to leave.
36:31I can't let you know we have to move on the road along the road.
36:33But before the road.
36:35It's okay.
36:36You don't want to move on the road.
36:38You're not going away.
36:39You're not going away.
36:40I can't let you know we have to move on the road.
36:42Let's go.
37:12I assume one of you is Klaus Land, an account holder at the Bank of Deutschland.
37:36The account holder at the gate from Sir Josef Haltenhardt.
37:49I win.
37:51Gentlemen.
38:00Gentlemen.
38:01Hmm.
38:07Hmm.
38:14Your address was given to the Bank of Deutschland as a contact for an account Sir Josef Milner
38:24was paying into.
38:25Why do you have a photograph of Sir Josef Superior, Lord Powell, the Foreign Secretary?
38:37I believe my associate here speaks a little German.
38:47Do I have that right?
38:50You do, Inspector Blake.
38:51So, would you be so kind as to tell these gentlemen the following?
39:01If they do not talk, they will be charged with Sir Josef Milner's murder.
39:08The penalty for which is death by hanging.
39:15I don't need to translate, Inspector.
39:20They understand perfectly.
39:25What do you want to know?
39:32Why did Sir Josef hire you?
39:36They were hired to kill his superior, Lord Powell, the Foreign Secretary.
39:42If they are to be believed, they were given very little information.
39:45Not even a reason why.
39:50They 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,
40:16they would first need to dissolve the strychnine in alcohol, then soak the tobacco in the solution.
40:21But these days, it's harder than ever to get your hands on it.
40:24Particularly the concentrated amounts that you need to kill someone.
40:28But you could extract it from rat poison.
40:31You just need very large quantities.
40:33And no pharmacy would be allowed to sell such amounts?
40:36Well, exactly. You need to get it from a specialised pharmaceutical company,
40:40which is what Mr. Potts does to keep the rats under control at the mortuary.
40:43We need to pay a visit to that company, find out who else they supply.
40:46Already done.
40:48Five businesses that receive bulk deliveries are rat poison.
40:51You and Moses worked through the list. Willows, you're with me.
40:58Let's see if a few hours in the cells have made our German friends even more cooperative.
41:01The foreman said this business closed down years ago.
41:08Ah, deliveries are forwarded onto another premises.
41:10I wrote down the address.
41:12The foreman said this business closed down years ago.
41:14Ah, deliveries are forwarded onto another premises.
41:16I wrote down the address.
41:17Alright, spit it out.
41:18What?
41:19Something is on your mind.
41:21Someone just...
41:22Just gave me some unwanted advice.
41:24Never listen to advice.
41:26Not even mine.
41:27So, where did the foreman say to go?
41:50Not even mine.
41:54So where do the foreman say to go?
42:02Find Inspector Blake, tell him to meet me at this address, urgently.
42:06You recognise it, please?
42:08I do.
42:19I don't know.
42:49I don't know.
42:59Right, poison.
43:11Good evening, Miss Carlet.
43:16It was you who killed Sir Joseph.
43:20Inspector Blake is on his way.
43:26We won't cover this up if that's what you're thinking.
43:29Cover it up.
43:31I want quite the opposite.
43:33I want a full written report handed in to the superintendent at Scotland Yard.
43:39I don't understand.
43:43There are many in our government that believe that Germany will soon be a threat to the national 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.
44:02When it was discovered they were German, it would have forced England into war with Germany.
44:08War makes money for those in high places.
44:12Regardless of the cost of human life.
44:14My conscience would not allow such a thing.
44:20So you hired Inspector Blake and I to get the evidence in black and white?
44:26My hope is that your report will be read by the few decent men left in the upper echelons of government.
44:32I want them to know what Sir Joseph had planned and why I killed him.
44:42You acted alone?
44:44If my superiors knew what I had done, it would have been covered up.
44:47You're hanged for this?
44:52Which is why I shall leave London tonight.
44:55I have a must quite a fortune.
44:57It's about time I enjoyed spending it.
45:01You have made your decision about Inspector Blake.
45:04Inspector Blake?
45:07I won't be giving him up.
45:10Not for anything.
45:15In that case, your fee will not be twice the normal rate as agreed.
45:22It would be a great deal more.
45:26Why?
45:27Because you're going to need it.
45:29And because I like you, Miss Scarlet, you're good at your job.
45:35Use the money however you see fit.
45:39But please...
45:41Be ambitious.
45:55Who just said you were here? What happened?
45:58You're going to need a drink first.
46:04I don't agree with what Miss Scott did, but she did it for her country.
46:08I told the superintendent that I, like Miss Scott, have no taste for war.
46:13Young men dying painful deaths for little purpose.
46:17Did he listen?
46:18He did.
46:19It turns 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.
46:32How can he ensure that?
46:35A hefty promotion for the super.
46:40When will you tell him about us?
46:44I won't.
46:46Because there's no need.
46:49What?
46:51With his promotion, he'll be leaving Scotland Yard and there'll be a new superintendent.
46:56Well, who will that be?
46:58Me.
47:01We...
47:03You're going to be the next superintendent?
47:06Is that what you want?
47:08A nice office job.
47:13More money, civilised hours.
47:17No more getting shot at.
47:19I'd say that's quite appealing.
47:24And you can carry on working for Scotland Yard,
47:29as I will no longer be the inspector hiring you.
47:32I... I don't know what to say.
47:37How about...
47:40Alexander, you are the best thing that's ever happened to me.
47:44Certainly the most handsome.
47:45And I'm very lucky to have met you.
47:49A little long-winded, but...
47:52boldly correct.
47:55So does that mean that willows will no longer be dismissed?
47:58It was the first thing I insisted upon.
48:01As well as another small matter.
48:04That the new clerical manager should be of my choosing.
48:08I think he'll approve of my choice.
48:22Morning!
48:27Good morning, Mrs. Paz.
48:28Good morning, Detective Windows.
48:29Good morning, Detective Windows.
48:43To my clever wife.
48:45On her new promotion.
48:47To Ivy.
48:49Ivy.
48:50Congratulations.
48:52Thank you, Barnabas.
48:56And thank you, Inspector Blake, for having such faith in me.
49:00It's called some more wine.
49:04Easy does it, my beloved.
49:06That will be your third.
49:07And I intend on having a fourth.
49:10I'll go and get some more bottles from the kitchen.
49:13Yes.
49:15Will you assist me, Inspector Blake?
49:16Of course, Miss Carlos.
49:20It is delicious.
49:23Cheers.
49:24I told Sophia that we'd go somewhere nice for lunch.
49:35Monday this week, the three of us.
49:37You want to tell her about us?
49:39It's time.
49:41I already know.
49:45What do you already know?
49:47That Eliza's your special lady friend, and that you love her.
49:50Oh.
49:53Oh.
49:55Well, yes.
49:57Yes, that's precisely what I wanted to tell you.
50:00But can we still go to luncheon?
50:05Of course we can.
50:07But not tomorrow.
50:09I have a very busy day.
50:11I'm going to hire some new detectives.
50:14Maybe you should hire Sophia.
50:16She certainly has very impressive powers of deduction.
50:17You're silly, Papa.
50:22I know.
50:38Ready for the big day?
50:40Hmm.
50:42Remember to make clear that the positions entail working long hours.
50:47What if only two candidates turn up?
50:49Sometimes even on a Sunday.
50:51Well, only one turns up.
50:52And that we do not offer overtime.
50:55Well, no one turns up.
50:58Eliza, all will be well.
51:01Go on.
51:02Go on.
51:23Welcome, everyone.
51:24Please.
51:25Please.
51:26Please.
51:27Do come in.
51:28Good morning.
51:29Hello.
51:30Just up the stairs.
51:31Good morning.
51:32Hello.
51:33Thank you for coming.
51:36Hello.
51:37Hello.
51:38Hello.
51:39Please, just follow the way up the stairs.
51:42Good morning.
51:44Thank you for coming.
