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 will not go back to that mortuary until Mr. Wormsley has offered me a full apology.

02:43Yes.

02:45I use so many names it's hard to keep track.
02:46Oh.
02:47I do apologise for the surroundings.
02:48What they lack in comfort they make up for indiscretion.
02:50What they lack in comfort they make up for indiscretion.
02:51You've summoned us here on government business.
02:52Please.
02:53As you know, my department deals with international espionage, not murder investigations.
03:00You will have read about the death of Sir Joseph Milner, Under Secretary at the Foreign Office.
03:07On the face of it, there are no suspicious circumstances.
03:08But, Sir Joseph spent much of his time moving between the foreign embassies.
03:12So I am duty-bound to make sure there is no foul play.
03:14Your assistance in this matter will of course be rewarded with a generous increase in manpower
03:36matter will of course be rewarded with a generous increase in manpower and
03:40resources in your next budget review and for you Miss Scarlett shall we say

04:16lady caught spying around Scotland Yard means there will be some changes coming
04:20down the line all officers will be made to sign a declaration of interest
04:25outlining any relationships with those they deal with in the line of duty so
04:33given the two of you are now romantically involved this will be the last time you
04:42work together
04:44drink we get double
04:54coffee
05:09you
05:13I don't know.
05:43We 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.
06:01I'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.
06:13To our last case.
06:19Our last case.
06:21Whatever the future brings, you will prevail.
06:26And if you don't, you can always blame me.
06:29Thank you, Mr. Victor Blake.
06:30I appreciate it.
06:31Well, if this is to be our last case, we better make it count.
06:51How do we investigate the death of a government minister discreetly?
06:58We tread carefully and use people we can trust.
07:00I address Clarence with my life as well as my ledges.
07:06And someone else comes to mind, too.
07:08Sir Joseph Milner was a senior minister at the Foreign Office, right-hand man to the Foreign Secretary.
07:38Yes, I read about him.
07:39He died from a hunting accident?
07:42Well, the official story is he fell from his horse, cut his leg, the wound got infected, he developed a fever, dying a few days later.
07:48Official story?
07:50That's not what happened.
07:52That's what we intend to find out.
07:54Oh, you think perhaps he was murdered.
07:55What makes you think that?
07:56Well, we can't go into detail.
07:58Not yet, at least.
08:00Sir Joseph, mixed at the highest levels of Parliament, Whitehall, any number of foreign embassies,
08:05we cannot simply turn up and start asking questions.
08:07Which is why we'll have a cover.
08:09We'll say we're investigating a spate of street thefts in Westminster and Mayfair.
08:13My father did this once when his prime suspect was from a powerful family.
08:17And it worked?
08:17With a little help from me.
08:23The area of our bogus street thefts will include Park Lane, where Sir Joseph lived,
08:27as well as the government offices in Whitehall and the embassies he frequented.
08:33We need you two to poke around at the areas that require, well, less conventional methods.
08:39Myself 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,
08:47just as we would in a genuine investigation.
08:50So this is to stay strictly between the four of us?
08:53Five. I have a man on the inside.
08:55The robberies took place in Mayfair and Westminster,
08:58so there will be extra patrols on the street.
09:00Anyone who looks suspicious, or anyone who thinks 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.
09:10Uh, me neither.
09:11Where are the incident reports?
09:14There's a backlog in the clerical office.
09:17No doubt the incident reports are being processed as we speak.
09:23And those two case files you wanted?
09:26Thanks, 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,
09:38I can find them for you right away.
09:40It's...
09:41It's a little more complicated than that.
09:44A delicate matter that requires the utmost discretion.
09:51Ladies, listen up.
09:54There's been a spate of street thefts,
09:56and Detective Willis is making this a top priority.
09:59So we need to stop what we're doing
10:01and type up the incident report right away.
10:05Yes, ma'am.
10:05Yes, ma'am.
10:11It's up and down this road here.
10:13I can't see anything at all.
10:19It's fine.
10:19I 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.
10:40In truth, it is no surprise that I have heard nothing.
10:42My employer died last week,
10:44and I have barely left this house.
10:47There's so much to do.
10:49I'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
11:06and follow them to their residence.
11:08Such evil in this world.
11:11I couldn't agree more, Mr Lawrence.
11:15Perhaps you could summarise Sir Joseph's daily routine
11:17in the event the thieves had been following him.
11:21Sir Joseph would go to Whitehall to work,
11:25and then to various embassies around the city.
11:28He'd come back late with...
11:31With...
11:33He enjoyed the company of ladies.
11:38That is all I shall say.
11:39There visited at least a dozen of the embassies,
11:52but could find nothing of interest about Sir Joseph.
11:55Seemed affable enough.
11:57What did they say?
11:57Quiet, well-mannered,
12:01not given to voicing strong opinions.
12:04He was a politician.
12:06Exactly.
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,
12:19but he wouldn't give details.
12:21He may wish to preserve his reputation.
12:25No one wants a butler who gossips.
12:27No, but it's something else.
12:29Something I can't put my finger on.
12:37What?
12:40Nothing.
12:42What?
12:43I'll miss this.
12:49That's working together.
12:57So, you were saying?
12:59We need to see the coroner's report
13:01into Sir Joseph's death.
13:03I can't request a fire from the mortuary
13:05of a court suspicion.
13:07We need someone that we can trust.
13:10I trust Barnabas Potts.
13:11But he's adamant he won't return to work
13:14until Mr. Wormsley has apologised.
13:16God knows Ivy's tried.
13:18And there's no one else
13:18who might persuade him?
13:22Perhaps Mr. Potts
13:23isn't the one who needs persuading.
13:40Mr. Wormsley?
13:41Yes.
13:42So good to finally meet you.
13:46How do I feel like I know you already?
13:49I've been asking around about you
13:50and learnt a great deal.
13:52Where you go?
13:54What you do?
13:55Who will you meet?
14:00It's all down here.
14:03A complete list of everything you've been up to.
14:06Perhaps Mrs. Wormsley might be interested
14:11in a coffee too.
14:15What do you want?
14:18I want to talk to you about a friend of mine.
14:21Oh, what a muddle indeed.
14:36Mr. Potts.
14:37It is grand to see you back.
14:40Oh, it's good to be back, Detective Willows.
14:44Mr. Worms' change of heart was most unexpected.
14:47But to his credit, he apologised.
14:49Several times, in fact, most profusely.
14:52He insisted I return to work immediately
14:53and practically dragged me from the house.
14:57And I know why.
14:59You do?
15:00Huh.
15:01The place is in total disarray
15:03and 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.
15:12I just...
15:12Well, it is lucky for me that you're here, Mr. Potts,
15:14because there's a coroner's report I need to see.
15:16Now, the deceased in question...
15:17Well, let's just say it's a confidential matter.
15:21And one that demands your utmost discretion.
15:34I got your message.
15:36Is this him?
15:37He's been delivering coal to the Joseph's house
15:39twice a week for the past three years.
15:41I thought he could give us some insight
15:43into the minister's domestic staff.
15:45If this gentleman, for want of a better word,
15:49has a criminal record for assault,
15:51he broke a man's arm in an arm wrestling match.
15:55Well, he's a big man.
15:57No, he didn't win. He lost.
15:59That's why he broke his opponent's arm.
16:01But he failed to declare his criminal record
16:04when he took a job delivering coal to a government minister.
16:08I thought he could give us useful leverage when we question him.
16:10A man like that won't take too kindly to leverage.
16:14Well, just to confirm,
16:19should this turn into a physical confrontation,
16:22that is very much your department, not mine.
16:31Leave it with me.
16:35Last day, he'll shut up. He's about to start.
16:38Come on, come on.
17:10I'm no match for you, my friend.
17:20Brick?
17:23That would be more swell, Carl.
17:38Mrs. Potts?
17:40I 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.
17:54The powers that be have been extra cautious after what happened with Miss Summers.
17:59Oh, I am sorry. That was insensitive of me.
18:02No.
18:03I'm the one who should apologise. I should have seen through her.
18:07No, you weren't the only one taken in by her.
18:09It wasn't your fault.
18:11Well, let's hope the disciplinary board agree.
18:13You're one of the best officers we have, Detective Willows.
18:17I'm sure they'll see that.
18:18Thank you, Mrs. Potts.
18:22So, here's what we know.
18:33Sir Joseph liked the women.
18:35And his butler's slightly shifty.
18:37Is that it?
18:38I'm afraid so.
18:41Although, I could also imagine that you look beautiful today.
18:44Today?
18:46So, not yesterday?
18:48Has anyone ever told you you can be rather demanding?
18:51Constantly.
18:51Oh, please tell us you have something.
18:57I spoke to the man who delivers the coat to Sir Joseph's house.
19:01After a few drinks, he got loose-lipped.
19:04Told me there's a butler there, a Mr. Lawrence.
19:06I spoke to him today.
19:10Apparently, none of the other servants like him.
19:14Rumor has it, Sir Joseph accused him of theft and planned to dismiss him.
19:19But then, the minister opt and croaked it.
19:22And there's something else.
19:29Even though he lives in a servant's quarters,
19:32Mr. Lawrence rents a lodging room in Whitechapel.
19:35Do you have the address?
19:37Of course he does.
19:52Mr. Lawrence?
20:09Ladies first.
20:12Thank you, Inspector Blake.
20:22Mr. Lawrence.
20:46How is he?
20:47The doctor isn't sure what's wrong with him.
20:49He has a fever, breathing problems and muscle spasms in his neck and jaw.
20:53Sounds like tetanus.
20:55They're considering it.
20:57I can't see any wounds on his body that would trigger the infection.
21:00Mr. Lawrence?
21:01Sir.
21:02I have the corridor's report, Mr. Joseph.
21:04It's believed that the cut he sustained falling from his horse may have caused an infection.
21:09The cause of death was given as cardiac arrest, most likely due to tetanus.
21:13So Joseph and his butler both were suspected tetanus?
21:18Bit odd, isn't it?
21:19Given that it's not infectious.
21:21Odd and unlikely.
21:23Mr. Potts said there was something else that caused those symptoms.
21:27Strictly and poisoning.
21:35Mr. Wormsley was most keen to hear all about my ideas for improving the mortuary.
21:39I must say he's a changed man.
21:43Oh, it's good indeed to be back.
21:46But alas, I shall have to withdraw my application to be office manager at Scotland Yard.
21:52Scotland Yard's loss is the mortuary's game, Barnabas.
22:03Thank you, my beloved.
22:08Right.
22:09Now I have an extremely long to-do list.
22:12This great city of ours seems to increase its supply of the dead each and every day.
22:17But as I always, I...
22:19If you want something doing, ask a busy person.
22:21No.
22:22We're just going to head in the handcart.
22:27It's nice to have my happy Barnabas back again.
22:31Now we just need to work on you.
22:34I'm fine.
22:35Then why does your face tell me otherwise?
22:39You've been very quiet.
22:47There are changes coming at Scotland Yard.
22:50Inspector Blake will have to declare our relationship and we will no longer be able to work together.
22:58Well, I suppose it couldn't stay secret forever.
23:00Yes, but losing Scotland Yard as a client will be a loss indeed.
23:05When you were a little girl...
23:07Please don't say it.
23:07You don't know what I was going to say.
23:09When I was a little girl, I had a similar problem.
23:11I overcame that problem and learned a lesson I can use as an adult.
23:15I wasn't going to say that.
23:16Yes, you were.
23:18How many formative experiences can one child have?
23:22I wish you were still a child.
23:24I put you over my knee for being so rude.
23:35You know a gentleman covers his mouth when he yawns.
23:55A gentleman doesn't stay up all night doing background checks.
24:02What did you find?
24:04Nothing.
24:09Our Sir Joseph's household staff were clean.
24:14I'm getting too old for this.
24:17Are you taking a nap?
24:19In here?
24:19Yes.
24:22If you stop talking.
24:24This is a place of work, not a lodging house.
24:34Aha!
24:37I think I found something.
24:39Just before he died,
24:41a large transfer of money
24:43was made from Sir Joseph's bank account
24:45to a small German bank in the city.
24:51We need to find out who this bank account belongs to.
24:55Come along.
24:57No time to rest.
25:01Hurry up!
25:05It was here Mr Lawrence collapsed,
25:08so I would wager it was poison.
25:10Someone would use strychnine as their poison of choice.
25:16I imagine they'd put it in food or drink.
25:19The question is,
25:21who would want to poison the butler
25:22and his employer?
25:32I almost told Sophia about us last night.
25:35Well, almost.
25:37I'd like to do it together.
25:40I hope she takes it well.
25:43She's certainly very fond of you.
25:45She thinks you're funny.
25:47Funny?
25:48Is it odd?
25:50Funny isn't amusing.
25:52Although you're a little odd.
25:54Alexander.
26:06Alexander.
26:11That's an awful lot of watches for one man.
26:13Especially for someone on a butler's wage.
26:16What's this?
26:19Calling cards.
26:19Countess Polchek.
26:24Russian embassy.
26:29There has been a recent spate of robberies in the area, Ambassador Polchek.
26:36I have heard nothing of these robberies of which we speak.
26:43The 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.
26:52One of which is a silver cardholder, belonging to Countess Polchek.
27:01Is she a relative of yours?
27:04She's my wife.
27:07But I have no knowledge of her being robbed.
27:10Well, perhaps we could speak to her.
27:13She's not here.
27:16Do you know when she'll be back?
27:21My wife and I, we have parted ways.
27:26She has returned to Russia.
27:28That is all I wish to say on the matter.
27:31It's not our intention to cause you embarrassment or distress, sir.
27:37But could you give us a sense of your wife's movements in the last few weeks?
27:44I suppose if I don't tell you, some gossiping servant will.
27:52She had been seeing a lover.
27:56Sir Joseph Milner.
28:01I can only assume that the calling cards were stolen from his residence.
28:06You are aware Sir Joseph passed away last week?
28:09I am.
28:11And for full disclosure, I did visit him a few days before he died.
28:16I was going to warn him to stay away from my wife.
28:20But when I arrived, he was outside his house, in the middle of some kind of argument.
28:29What kind of argument?
28:31He was on the street with two men.
28:35They seemed frustrated with him.
28:38One started shouting.
28:41I couldn't understand what they were saying.
28:43It was not in English.
28:46What language was it?
28:48It was, I believe, German.
28:51Name an address of the account holder that Sir Joseph made payments to.
29:08How did you get that?
29:12Too charm and charisma.
29:16All right, fine.
29:17I bribe the teller.
29:18The 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, and I shall head back to the office to carry on digging into Sir Joseph's finances.
29:39What?
29:41None.
29:42You're impressed, aren't you?
29:46I can tell.
29:50Perhaps.
29:55Sir.
29:57Sir.
30:06Sir Joseph did not pay well.
30:07I have 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.
30:19She left her bag at the house one evening.
30:22You are aware they were having an affair?
30:24Of course.
30:25She wasn't the first.
30:27Believe me.
30:30What of these two German men Sir Joseph was arguing with the day before he died?
30:35I was not there.
30:37It was my day off.
30:37Talk us through the hours before you became ill.
30:46Everything you did.
30:48I finished work about nine o'clock, then went back to my lodging room.
30:55I needed some money that I kept there.
30:59I rested a while, smoked a pipe.
31:02Then, the next thing I remember, I was gasping for breath, and everything went black.
31:06Where did you get the tobacco from?
31:12It was from a pouch I stole from Sir Joseph.
31:14I'm here because I have a theory, and I'm in need of your advice.
31:41Well...
31:41And yes, I am aware that I have not given 24 hours' notice of my arrival.
31:45Oh.
31:45And yes, I am aware that there is a strict protocol, but...
31:48Oh, protocol be damned.
31:49You're always welcome here, Eliza.
31:51Come in.
31:52Come in.
31:54Come in.
31:55Strickling.
31:56It would usually be found in the stomach and intestines of a cadaver, assuming it had been
32:07ingested, which is the most common form of poisoning.
32:09What if you inhaled it?
32:12Say, through tobacco?
32:14Oh, yes.
32:15That would work.
32:16Rather rapidly, too.
32:18Of course, the expert in such matters is Mr Wormsley, and he seems rather on edge recently.
32:25Perhaps the joy of my return has overwhelmed him.
32:29Well, I'd rather we get this conversation to ourselves.
32:33My questions are related to a rather highly confidential case, one which myself and Inspector
32:38Blake were like your opinion, and yours alone.
32:42Inspector Blake asked for me, personally.
32:44He did?
32:45Hmm.
32:46Then I'm at your disposal.
32:50We shall start with the basics of toxicology.
32:57Dosage, absorption, exposure.
33:01Pull out anyone with a German background, particularly the...
33:11those with convictions for violent crime.
33:15Mrs Potts.
33:17You take the A's.
33:18Yes.
33:19Willow's.
33:20The B's.
33:22And keep going until we run out of alphabet.
33:31This is going to be thirsty work.
33:33How about I organize a nice cup of tea for us all?
33:36Oh, sounds like a very sensible plan, Mrs Potts.
33:40Right.
33:48I understand the disciplinary board wrote to you.
33:51Yes, sir.
33:52Hearing's in a couple of days.
33:54How are you feeling about it all?
33:56Haven't slept in a week.
33:59Haven't eaten much either.
34:01My sister says, I'm like a bear with a sore head.
34:06Apart 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.
34:23Was Sir Joseph murdered?
34:25I believe so, yes.
34:26You have evidence?
34:27We're working on it.
34:28Inspector Blake and I will have a full report for you soon.
34:37Are you in love with him?
34:44Pardon?
34:45It's a simple question.
34:47And one that bears no relevance to the investigation.
34:50I'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.
35:02One 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.
35:13But to love someone fully, completely,
35:19that would be a mistake.
35:26For a woman, financial independence is everything.
35:32Do not make the mistake of trusting in a man.
35:35Any man.
35:38They will always put their own needs above ours.
35:43Without exception.
35:44It's a rather bleak view.
35:49And one that I don't share.
35:53Yes, you do.
35:58Yes, you do.
36:02Yes, yes.
36:03And one that you do.
36:07Yes, a man.
36:08Yes.
36:09Yes.
36:11Yes, yes.
36:12Yes, yes, yes.
36:15And one of the other...
37:50I win.
37:51Gentlemen.
37:52Gentlemen.
38:01Your address was given to the Bank of Deutschland as a contact for an account that Joseph Milner was paying into.
38:25Why do you have a photograph of Sir Joseph Superior, Lord Powell, the Foreign Secretary?
38:35I believe my associate here speaks a little German.
38:47Do I have that right?
38:49You do, Inspector Blake.
38:53So, would you be so kind as to tell these gentlemen the following?
38:59If they do not talk, they will be charged with Sir Joseph Milner's murder.
39:07The penalty for which is death by hanging.
39:11I don't need to translate, Inspector.
39:21They understand perfectly.
39:23What do you want to know?
39:31Why did Sir Joseph hire you?
39:35They were hired to kill his superior, Lord Powell, the Foreign Secretary.
39:41If they are to be believed, they were given very little information.
39:45Not even a reason why.
39:47They were waiting for Sir Joseph 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 Joseph 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?
40:10According to Mr. Potts, if someone wished to lace tobacco with strychnine, they would first need to dissolve the strychnine in alcohol, then soak the tobacco in the solution.
40:22But these days, it's harder than ever to get your hands on it.
40:25Particularly the concentrated amounts that you need to kill someone.
40:29But you could extract it from rat poison.
40:32You just need very large quantities.
40:34And no pharmacy would be allowed to sell such amounts?
40:37Well, exactly, you need to get it from a specialised pharmaceutical company.
40:41Which is what Mr. Potts does to keep the rats under control at the mortuary.
40:44We need to pay a visit to that company, find out who else they supply.
40:47Already done.
40:49Five businesses that receive bulk deliveries are rat poison.
40:56You and Moses worked through the list.
40:58Willows, you're with me.
40:59Let's see if a few hours in the cells have made our German friends even more cooperative.
41:07Thanks.
41:09The foreman said this business closed down years ago.
41:11Deliveries are forwarded onto another premises.
41:14I wrote down the address.
41:16All right, spit it out.
41:21The foreman said this business closed down years ago.
41:24Ah, deliveries are forwarded onto another premises.
41:28I wrote down the address.
41:33Alright, spit it out.
41:36What?
41:37Something is on your mind.
41:40Someone just...
41:42just gave me some unwanted advice.
41:47Never listen to advice.
41:51Not 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 the pleas?
42:09I do.
42:20I never do.
42:22Do not know.
42:24I did not know.
42:26I do not know.
42:28Just to see you then.
42:30The foreman says,
42:32I have to wait for the foreman.
42:33You have to wait for me.
42:34All right, boys.
43:04Good evening, Miss Carlet.
43:16It was you who killed Sir Joseph.
43:24Inspector Blake is on his way.
43:27We won't cover this up if that's what you're thinking.
43:30Cover it up.
43:32I want quite the opposite.
43:33I want a full written report handed in to the superintendent at Scotland Yard.
43:40I don't understand.
43:44There are many in our government that believe that Germany will soon be a threat to the national interest.
43:50Sir 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.
44:01When it was discovered they were German, it would have forced England into war with Germany.
44:08War makes money for those in high places, regardless of the cost of human life.
44:16My conscience would not allow such a thing.
44:18So 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.
44:34I want them to know what Sir Joseph had planned and why I killed him.
44:39You acted alone?
44:45If my superiors knew what I had done, it would have been covered up.
44:51You'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.
45:00You have made your decision about Inspector Blake.
45:08I won't be giving him up.
45:11Not for anything.
45:12In that case, your fee will not be twice the normal rate as agreed.
45:22It will be a great deal more.
45:27Why?
45:28Because you're going to need it.
45:30And because I like you, Miss Scarlet.
45:33You're good at your job.
45:34Use the money however you see fit.
45:39But please, be ambitious.
45:55I was just eduator. What happened?
45:59You're going to need a drink first.
46:04I don't agree with what Miss Scott did, but she did it for her country.
46:09I told the superintendent that I, like Miss Scott, have no taste for war.
46:14Young men dying painful deaths for little purpose.
46:17Did he listen?
46:19He did.
46:21Turns 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.
46:47Because there's no need.
46:50What?
46:52With his promotion, he'll be leaving Scotland Yard,
46:54and there'll be a new superintendent.
46:57Well, who will that be?
46:59Me.
47:00Well, you're going to be the next superintendent?
47:07Is that what you want?
47:12Nice office job.
47:15More money, civilised hours.
47:18No more getting shot at.
47:19I'd say that's quite appealing.
47:26And you can carry on working for Scotland Yard,
47:30as I will no longer be the inspector hiring you.
47:32I don't know what to say.
47:38How about?
47:41Alexander, you are the best thing that's ever happened to me.
47:45Certainly the most handsome,
47:46and I'm very lucky to have met you.
47:49A little long-winded, but...
47:51...bordly correct.
47:54So does that mean that willows will no longer be dismissed?
47:59It 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.
48:09I think he'll approve of my choice.
48:10Good morning, Mrs. Paz.
48:29Good morning, Detective Windows.
48:30Good morning, Detective Windows.
48:30To my clever wife, on her new promotion.
48:48To Ivy.
48:49Ivy.
48:50Ivy.
48:52Congratulations.
48:55Thank you, Barnabas.
48:57And thank you, Inspector Blake,
48:59for having such faith in me.
49:03It's called for more wine.
49:05Easy does it, my beloved.
49:07That'll be your third.
49:08And I intend on having a fourth.
49:12I'll go and get some more bottles from the kitchen.
49:14Yes.
49:15Will you assist me, Inspector Blake?
49:17Of course, Miss Scarlett.
49:20It is delicious.
49:24Cheers.
49:29I told Sophia that we'd go somewhere nice for lunch.
49:35One day this week, the three of us.
49:38You want to tell her about us?
49:40It's time.
49:42I already know.
49:43What do you already know?
49:48That Eliza's your special lady friend,
49:50and that you love her.
49:54Oh.
49:56Well, yes.
49:58Yes, that's precisely what I wanted to tell you.
50:01But can we still go to luncheon?
50:03Of course we can.
50:08But not tomorrow.
50:10I have a very busy day.
50:12I'm going to hire some new detectives.
50:14Maybe you should hire Sophia.
50:16She certainly has very impressive powers of deduction.
50:19You're silly, Papa.
50:23I know.
50:24Ready for the big day?
50:40Hmm.
50:42Now, remember to make clear that the positions entail working long hours.
50:48What if only two candidates turn up?
50:50Sometimes even on a Sunday.
50:52Well, only one turns up.
50:53And that we do not offer overtime.
50:55Or no one turns up.
50:59Eliza, all will be well.
51:02Go on.
51:03Hmm.
51:23Welcome, everyone.
51:25Please.
51:26Please.
51:27Do come in.
51:28Good morning.
51:28Hello.
51:30Just up the stairs.
51:31Good morning.
51:32Hello.
51:33Thank you for coming.
51:37Hello.
51:37Hello.
51:38Hello.
51:39Please just follow the way up the stairs.
51:42Good morning.
51:43Thank you for coming.
51:45What is typical foresight?
52:12Brace yourself, you're about to discover.
52:18Something rather exciting.
52:19What more does one need?
52:22How splendid.
52:31And it will be all that you've dreamed of.
52:33And more.
