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'm alive!
00:32Oh, I need your help.
00:35There is a new dawn.
00:36It's going to be beautiful.
00:37It's going to be a new dawn.
00:39You're going to follow the dawn.
00:40I'm not trying to sleep anymore.
00:42I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:44Go on!
00:45You can see it.
00:46Yeah, it's going to be a new dawn!
00:48I'm sorry.
00:50I'm sorry, but I have no problem.
00:53I'm sorry.
00:54I'm sorry.
00:55Pay attention.
00:56It's going to be very soon.
00:57I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:59Come on Jack, down it!
01:20Down it Jack!
01:21Down it!
01:22Down it!
01:23Down it!
01:26Down it!
01:27Down it!
01:28Dabby! Dabby!
01:58Dabby!
02:26There you are.
02:28Dabby!
02:42Inspector Blake, I can explain.
02:44Which part?
02:46Drugging a dozen men, or stealing a priceless artifact?
02:49It was eight
02:50men, and I didn't steal anything.
02:52I returned it to the British Museum for a fee, I admit,
02:55I admit, but as soon as I'd done so, I immediately informed Scotland Yard's a new hunt done.
02:59You could have killed one, if not all of them.
03:01A little old and never hurt anyone, is better to make.
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 discreet.
03:23I'd better close the door, then.
03:25I'll be right back.
03:55We 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.
04:23Things 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,
04:33all 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.
04:45You didn't tell him, did you?
04:51The 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 what I've never been in this situation before.
05:00I don't want anything to ruin it.
05:06Eliza!
05:10Inspector Blake!
05:11And nice to see you again.
05:13Spots.
05:13I see more of you here than I do at work.
05:17What 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.
05:28I 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.
05:41I'll see you ask, Inspector Blake.
05:44Miss Spots.
05:46Inspector Blake.
05:47I 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.
06:24Why?
06:25What's happened?
06:29As you know,
06:30I like to keep all the mortuaries under my charge,
06:33spick and span.
06:35However,
06:36recently,
06:37chaos has begun to seep through the cracks.
06:39Cracks caused, I'm sorry to say,
06:41by our Chief Coroner.
06:44Mr. Wormsley.
06:46He'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,
06:56I 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,
07:10there would be...
07:10Panicky?
07:12Precisely.
07:16Then,
07:17all I can offer is a kiss.
07:20Might that soothe your furrowed brow?
07:22Yes.
07:25Yes, my jewel, yes.
07:26That may have evade some of my discomfort.
07:30All right.
07:32See you later.
07:32Excuse me.
07:47I 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?
08:29Very well.
08:32Please let him know that we're still waiting
08:33on the post-mortem from yesterday.
08:36Come.
08:38Detective Willow,
08:39supportive producer.
08:40Yes, I'm well aware who you are,
08:42Detective Willow.
08:42Please.
08:50You, uh,
08:51seem to have something on your lapel.
08:54I do apologise, sir.
08:56Teeth and baby at home.
08:58I didn't realise you were married.
09:00It's complicated, sir.
09:03So,
09:04given this is your first day,
09:05normally I'd give you time to find your feet,
09:07but I'm afraid we're still a couple of men short.
09:10I think you met Detective Fitzroy
09:11when he came in for your interview.
09:12Yes, sir.
09:13Well, he's now left to take the role
09:14of senior detective in the Birmingham force,
09:16and 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.
09:26He'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.
09:50Two dead bodies for our immediate attention.
09:52One in a townhouse in Mayfair,
09:54the other in a cold, drafty alleyway in Kilburn.
09:57If you want to make a good impression on your first date,
09:59I 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,
10:16but things have been rather quiet,
10:17particularly from Scotland Yard.
10:18Yeah, things will pick up, Clarence.
10:22They always do.
10:24Yes, but we haven't had a single case
10:26from Scotland Yard for some time, though.
10:27Well, it has been unseasonably cold,
10:30which, as you know,
10:30does have an effect on the crime levels.
10:33Usually, in such lean times,
10:35you'd be accusing Scotland Yard
10:37of employing an alternative agency.
10:39Usually, you'd be on your feet and out the door
10:41to 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
11:00and he's refusing to employ you.
11:04Because your powers of deduction
11:05still need honing, Clarence.
11:08I can assure you,
11:08Inspector Blake and I are on the best of terms,
11:11professionally speaking.
11:15Now, can you please drop that odd-looking frown?
11:20It's very disconcerting.
11:31She answered a word, sir.
11:35I'm Inspector Blake from Scotland Yard.
11:38I believe it was you who found the body.
11:40Can you tell me your name?
11:53Take her back to the yard.
11:57Get her a cup of tea.
11:58Yes, sir.
12:02Come on, now.
12:02Come on.
12:04No evidence of a robbery.
12:19No 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.
13:22Coincidence, sir?
13:22Tell 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.
13:39I've asked the uniform to do house-to-house inquiries.
13:41I also have a potential witness.
13:44A young woman.
13:45She seems traumatised by whatever she saw.
13:47Hasn't said a word.
13:47Not 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.
13:59Do you have any ladies you could ask?
14:00An 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.
14:20May I point out that you've been reading the same telegram for almost ten minutes now?
14:24What 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.
14:52Miss Scarlet.
14:53Inspector Blake.
14:54Where is she?
15:07Would you like a cup of tea?
15:09Coffee?
15:13I know where they keep the whisky, if that helps.
15:20There'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.
15:37She arrived at the house of the deceased Miss Quayle at 25 past 8 this morning.
15:42The door was ajar, and when no one answered, she ended to find Miss Quayle collapsed on the floor.
15:46What was her reason for going to Miss Quayle's home?
15:49Miss Mason is a secretary to a doctor on Harley Street.
15:52To Isambard Cole.
15:55Miss Quayle was treating the deceased for a form of neuroses, he 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.
16:10You'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.
16:38Eliza.
16:50I don't want people to know about us either.
16:53Not yet, anyway.
16:55The fact is, you are an excellent detective.
16:59And 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.
17:28But the 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.
17:45We 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.
17:57Do what she said.
18:05Yes, sir.
18:11Well, 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 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.
20:56Elizabeth 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.
21:23I 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 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.
21:53I'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?
23:09I'm afraid not.
23:10I 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 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.
23:34I 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.
23:48Miss Mason?
24:14Miss Mason?
24:14Miss Mason?
24:18Miss Mason?
24:28Who are you?
24:32Ah!
24:36Do you know that man?
24:37I believe so.
24:42I don't know his name, but he's a patient of Dr. Cole's.
24:46I remember seeing him a couple weeks back.
24:51He came to see Dr. Cole.
24:54What did he want with me?
24:57Well, we 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.
25:11Yes, 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.
25:22I think you should stop taking your tablets until we know more.
25:31May I ask why you're taking the medication?
25:32Life has been a struggle for me.
25:37I grew up in an orphanage.
25:39And then the workhouse.
25:42And when I came of age, I left to work in a laundry.
25:46Which is where Dr. Cole took pity on me.
25:50He took me in.
25:53First as a housemaid.
25:54And then he trained me as his secretary.
26:01He taught me to read and write.
26:04Our father couldn't have done more.
26:10You'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.
26:24It sounds like the man you described is Zebediah Sawyer.
26:33He was 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?
26:45Last 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?
27:02An act of revenge, perhaps?
27:05Zebediah developed his condition in his early twenties,
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's store.
27:16Could he have the skill to temper with the medication you prescribed?
27:23The bottles you found on the dead women,
27:25could I see them?
27:30Both 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,
27:39a potentially lethal amount.
27:40Luckily, 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.
28:04He was looking for Mr. Whirling today.
28:06Grace, get yourself down to the city mortuary.
28:07Find out what's going on over there.
28:08Yes, sir.
28:14Do 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,
28:32the man we are hunting is extremely dangerous.
28:34Then I will be careful, as we all will.
28:43I have many resources for such scenarios.
28:46I will take some hide muscle with me.
28:48Could you bring me to the nicest place?
28:55Have a warden's to mind, Clarence.
28:57I need two more to go.
28:59What's the next address?
29:00Uh, it's just a few doors down.
29:03Mrs. Zebediah Sawyer clearly likes this neighbour.
29:05I'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?
29:17What'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.
29:25What?
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.
29:47I'll go to this Belmont Street boarding house,
29:49see if there's been any sign of him.
29:51You're sending me to the roughest pubs this side of the city
29:55to 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.
30:28You found her?
30:29I present to give you this.
30:30We need to put out an appeal for information
30:32on 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.
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.
31:16Yes, now, Mr. Wormsley, if you please.
31:23Sorry.
31:24Sir.
31:25But I can hold my tongue no longer.
31:28Things need to be said before the good reputation of this mortuary
31:31is forever tarnished.
31:35Get up!
31:37And stay up!
31:38Thank you for your time.
31:57If there's any sighting at all of Mr. Sawyer,
31:59then please contact the police immediately.
32:00He's extremely dangerous.
32:02Let's go.
32:32I have a revolver, and I'm not afraid to use it.
32:46I'd really rather you didn't.
32:48Alexander!
32:50Miss Scarlet?
32:57Ah.
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?
33:32How would I behave if I were a normal detective?
33:35I'm not exactly where you're normal.
33:37I'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.
33:46You said you wouldn't go alone.
33:49I wasn't alone.
33:51Clarence was with me for most of the time.
33:53Clarence was your hired muscle.
33:55Years 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. We cannot work together.
34:08Eliza, you're overreacting.
34:11What if the lads just came by with a message for you, Inspector?
34:16Thank you, Mrs. Wells.
34:17Hmm.
34:21I have to go.
34:25I've made a decision.
34:27I will no longer work on the case.
34:32Don't be ridiculous.
34:33I want our...
34:35...courtship romance.
34:38Whatever you want to call it, to have a fighting chance.
34:41This is the best way.
34:44Well, for what it's worth, I think you're wrong.
34:47No-one knows about us, Eliza.
34:49But you must do what's right for you.
34:52Have I not been like a mother to that girl?
34:54Have I not been the one to pick her up when she grazed her knee?
34:58Or dried her eyes when Arabella Herbert called her the cruelest of names?
35:02Or defended her to her father when she was expelled from college?
35:05Again?
35:06Yet she tells me nothing.
35:07Nothing.
35:08How was your day?
35:09Hmm?
35:10Oh.
35:11I was dismissed.
35:12Mr. Wormsley finally arrived at work at five o'clock this evening.
35:25Five o'clock!
35:26Well, I could take no more, so I gave him a piece of my mind.
35:28Oh, Barnabas, I am sorry.
35:30He would not even allow me to collect my things.
35:33Threw me out like a vagrant.
35:35Ruin my hat.
35:36And do you know what else he called me?
35:39A vexatious buffoon.
35:41Well, 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.
35:53Oh.
35:55Why 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.
36:04Yes.
36:05Good evening.
36:07Good that it were.
36:10What's wrong with Barnabas?
36:12He'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.
36:35Good evening, sir.
36:36Detective Willows.
36:37What have we got?
36:38He was pulled out about an hour ago.
36:39There's a gunshot wound to the head.
36:40And do we know who he is?
36:41I think this is our man, sir.
36:42He certainly fits the description.
36:43Oh, Zebediah.
36:44Oh, Zebediah.
36:45Oh, Zebediah.
36:46What did you do?
36:48Oh, Zebediah.
36:49Oh, Zebediah, what did you do?
36:50Oh, Zebediah.
36:51You can confirm that this is your patient, Zebediah Sawyer.
36:55Oh, Zebediah, what did you do?
37:06You can confirm that this is your patient, Zebediah Sawyer?
37:10It is.
37:15Is it possible that he could have taken his own life?
37:18The gunshot seems to have been at close range.
37:21On more than one occasion,
37:23he expressed suicidal thoughts.
37:25That's why we started the course of electrotherapy.
37:28But his drinking exacerbated his symptoms.
37:32I tried to persuade him to stop,
37:38but he had a chaotic mind.
37:45It's late.
37:47I'll come by in the morning to take a full statement.
37:51Get some rest, Doctor.
37:53I did everything I could to help him,
37:56but over the years I've come to realise that
37:59some 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.
38:21As requested, I visited all the public houses of the Seven Dials last night
38:26in search of this Zebediah Sawyer
38:28in one particularly grotty establishment called the Plague Pit.
38:33I ran into a squatter 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.
38:46That is the only reason I am still alive.
38:49Well, thank you for your efforts.
38:54But Scotland Yard are no longer in need of our services.
38:58What? Why not?
39:01Well...
39:04Because I just received a telegram from Inspector Blake.
39:08A body was found on the riverbank last night
39:10and identified as Zebediah Sawyer.
39:13Really?
39:15Clarence, will you please stop questioning me
39:17every time I mention Scotland Yard or Inspector Blake?
39:19All I was going to say is that according to my new friends
39:22at the Plague Pit, Mr Sawyer is very much alive.
39:26What?
39:27Yes.
39:28He's awaiting sentencing in Manchester County Prison.
39:56Barnabas, I heard about your dismissal.
40:09I'm sorry.
40:11I've been instructed to come by to pick up my personal fix.
40:15Do you happen to know if Mr Wormsley's in attendance?
40:17Well, no one appears to be here. The door was left open.
40:21Mr Wormsley's gone out and left the door on the ledge.
40:24Not for the first time.
40:26I'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
40:37I'm no longer permitted access to the premises.
40:41Well, I won't tell if you don't.
40:43That would be a severe breach of protocol.
40:45I simply cannot.
40:46No.
40:47No, no, of course not.
40:52Well, I am here on official police business.
40:55So, perhaps if you assist me, then I can grant you permission.
41:01And you do need to collect your things, do you not?
41:03Very well.
41:20Miss Scarlett, would you be so kind as to grant me permission to enter the city mortuary?
41:25Permission granted, Mr Potts.
41:32Now then, I need your brain.
41:52Dr Cole?
42:06Miss Mason.
42:07Sarah.
42:09Please, put the gun down.
42:11Whatever's happened, we can talk it through.
42:12We can talk to him.
42:14Not me.
42:15He's the liar.
42:16He's the one that's lied again and again and again.
42:19Put the weapon down, Miss Mason.
42:20Sarah, this is my daughter.
42:21Sarah, this is my daughter.
42:23She's the one that's lied again and again and again.
42:28We can talk it through.
42:29We can talk to him.
42:30Not me.
42:31He's the liar.
42:32He's the one that's lied again and again and again.
42:35Put the weapon down, Miss Mason.
42:37Sarah, this is my daughter.
42:48My mother was an inmate at an asylum where I was the residing physician.
43:02She's so beautiful.
43:07So fragile.
43:10We fell in love.
43:13I knew it was wrong, which is why I left my position
43:17and 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 Bulloch Workhouse.
43:36There I found a file on Sarah.
43:38By that time she'd left but I was determined to find her.
43:47I was working in a laundry.
43:50It was a miserable existence.
43:52One day, Dr. Cole came to do a study on the health of the girls that worked there.
43:59He seemed to feel sorry for me in particular and took me in.
44:04He never told me who he really was.
44:08The man lying in the mortuary isn't your patient, Zebediah Sawyer, is he?
44:15Unlike 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.
44:26He's a private detective who helped me track Sarah down.
44:32Two weeks ago he showed up at my door drunk.
44:36He had gambling debts.
44:39He tried to blackmail me.
44:40I refused to pay him.
44:43But when I found out he'd visited Sarah,
44:48I 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, who did?
45:07It was me.
45:08I 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.
45:22I am the one to blame, not Sarah.
45:25The poor child had not long learned to read and write.
45:30I pushed her.
45:33Too hard.
45:34Gave her too much responsibility.
45:41I was just so proud of her.
45:42So you blamed Sloan to protect your daughter.
45:47Then you killed him.
45:49Not before he told Miss Mason the truth.
45:52This morning, I woke up to find an envelope had been slipped under my door in the night.
46:02And it was a file.
46:05Where I learned that...
46:08Dr. Cole was my father.
46:12I was so angry and confused.
46:17I was so confused.
46:19In a rage.
46:21She 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.
46:27So what happens now?
46:28Well, given the circumstances, if Miss Mason puts in a guilty plea and finish, she'll avoid a prison sentence.
46:46Dr. Cole on the other hand.
46:48Do you still have that whiskey in your office?
46:53Are you suggesting being seen entering my office?
46:56Together.
46:58Very funny.
47:05Goodnight, Detective Willows.
47:07Miss Summers.
47:08Goodnight to you.
47:12Was there anything else you wanted to say to me?
47:14Or ask me?
47:17No, I don't think so.
47:19Shame.
47:21Because I'm free this evening.
47:24I'm afraid I'm not.
47:25I have to pick up the baby from the minders.
47:28Oh, I didn't realise.
47:29She's not mine.
47:30She's my sister.
47:31She lives with me.
47:32It's a long story.
47:35Well, goodnight Detective Willows.
47:39But, I'm free tomorrow night.
47:42I'm glad you changed your mind about working the case.
47:58The outcome could have been very different.
48:02It would have worked it out.
48:05Probably, yes.
48:06Eliza.
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.
48:30But 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.
48:42Oh, and there's one more thing.
48:48Goodness, I don't know how much more wisdom I can take.
48:53The burden of this situation might be eased if you were to confide in someone.
48:58Someone other than me.
48:59Barnabas!
49:17Barnabas!
49:19Are you cooking dinner?
49:21Indeed I am, my beloved.
49:22Now, sit down, put your feet up, and I'll go and fetch you a nice glass of sherry.
49:28What's put all this on?
49:30I'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.
49:40I'm rather looking forward to giving this kitchen a spring clean, perhaps even a little rearranging.
49:46Alright, sir.
49:48The stew.
49:50Gently simmering.
49:51So, before I add my dumplings, just enough time to fetch that sherry bottle, Nigel.
49:57Oh!
49:59Excuse me!
50:02Nice to see him so contented again.
50:05Mm-hmm.
50:09Ivy, there's something that I need to tell you about myself and Inspector Blake.
50:15I'm listening.
50:16Well, he's coming to dinner so we need to set an extra place.
50:23And?
50:24We are currently enjoying a quiet, very private courtship.
50:38Goodness me, I had no idea.
50:42You're a terrible liar.
50:43And you shouldn't have kept it from me.
50:45And you shouldn't be listening at doors.
50:47You and Inspector Blake.
50:50That is music to my ears.
50:52But please, keep it to yourself for now, we're still working out our arrangement.
50:56My lips are sealed.
50:58Bottle of sherry!
51:01Barnabas, Inspector Blake is joining us for dinner.
51:04Ha!
51:07I invited him.
51:09The more, the merrier.
51:11We can enjoy a nice, long game of gingerummy after dinner.
51:14The four of us.
51:15All evening, putting the world to rights.
51:17Oh, won't that be marvellous?
51:19Marvellous.
51:21Marvellous.
51:22What 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.
51:53And more.
52:02When was the body discovered?
52:03Two hours ago, while passed by.
52:04Crime scene is more challenging than usual.
52:06Crime scene?
52:07What 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?
52:13We do have something to say, Detective.
52:14We'll just say it.
