00:00Come on Jack! Down it! Down it Jack!
00:25Down it! Down it! Down it!
00:55Down it!
01:03Down it!
01:07Down it!
01:11Down it!
01:17Down it!
01:27There you are!
01:29Down it!
01:41Inspector Blake, I can explain.
01:43Which part?
01:45Drugging a dozen men or stealing a priceless artifact?
01:48It was eight, then.
01:50And I didn't steal anything.
01:52I returned it to the British Museum for a fee, I admit.
01:55But as soon as I'd done so, I immediately informed Scott Loneyard, so no harm done.
01:58You could have killed one, if not all of them.
02:00A little order never hurt anyone, expectably.
02:04Perhaps we should continue this conversation aside.
02:08Perhaps I should have forewarned you of my plan.
02:12I'm sorry, do you forgive me?
02:15No, not remotely.
02:18We need to be discreet.
02:20I'd better close the door then.
02:24We need to be careful.
02:26You cannot simply kiss me in the middle of my hallway, Alexander.
02:29You didn't seem to mind.
02:32I just, I just want to stay in this bubble forever.
02:36No one else knowing or interfering.
02:39Things are perfect as they are.
02:41Mostly, yes.
02:44What do you mean, mostly?
02:46Eliza, I have offered you three cases in the past fortnight, all of which you've turned down.
02:51I've been extremely busy.
02:54How does Clarence feel about you turning down work?
02:56He feels the pain every bit as much as I do.
02:59Hmm.
03:00You didn't tell him, did you?
03:02The truth is, I'm worried what it would be like working together now.
03:09As do I.
03:10But there's only one way to find out.
03:12Yes, but I've never been in this situation before.
03:14I don't want anything to ruin it.
03:20Eliza!
03:23I suspect Blake, how nice to see you again.
03:26I suppose.
03:27I see more of you here than I do at work.
03:30What do you want for dinner?
03:32Anything's fine.
03:34What's wrong?
03:38Nothing.
03:39You're usually fussy about what you have for dinner.
03:44I should be getting back.
03:46Yes.
03:47Thank you for coming, Inspector Blake.
03:48I'll be sure to speak to the Accounts Department about my invoice.
03:51Be sure that you do, Miss Garland.
03:53I'll see you out, Inspector Blake.
03:56Mrs. Potts.
03:58Inspector Blake.
03:59I know that girl inside out.
04:09And I've never seen her so happy.
04:12And I've a sneaky inkling as to why.
04:15Don't go asking me to share my inklings with you, Barnabas.
04:18We both know what you're like with secrets.
04:23Barnabas?
04:24You finally touched your bacon.
04:28I cannot deny I'm a little troubled, my dear.
04:31Why?
04:32What's happened?
04:33As you know, I like to keep all the mortuaries under my charge, spick and span.
04:45However, recently, chaos has begun to seep through the cracks.
04:49Cracks caused, I'm sorry to say, by our Chief Coroner.
04:53Mr. Wormsley.
04:54Mr. Wormsley.
04:55He's become a shadow of his former self.
04:57He now arrives at work late.
04:59He leaves early.
05:00His administration has become woeful indeed.
05:03And on more than one occasion, I have noticed the potent aroma of whiskey about him.
05:08Oh, you must speak to him.
05:09It's not fair to lay extra work at your door.
05:12It's a strict chain of command.
05:13One must respect, my beloved.
05:16If everyone went around saying all that was on their minds, there would be-
05:18Panicky?
05:20Precisely.
05:21Then, all I can offer is a kiss.
05:28Might that soothe your furrow brow?
05:32Yes.
05:33Yes, my dear.
05:34Yes, that may.
05:35A happy face of my mind is comfort.
05:38All right.
05:39See you later.
05:51Excuse me, I can't seem to find the clerical office.
06:09I think it's at the end of the corridor.
06:11You think?
06:12I've only been here once before.
06:13It's my first day.
06:14Really?
06:15Mine too.
06:16End of the corridor, you say?
06:18On the right, I think.
06:20I'll give it a try.
06:22Oh.
06:23Good luck.
06:24You too.
06:32Well, when is Mr Wormsley due in?
06:35Very well.
06:36Please let him know that we're still waiting on the post-mortem from yesterday.
06:40Come.
06:42Detective Willow, supportive producer.
06:44Yes, I'm well aware who you are, Detective Willow.
06:46Please.
06:50You seem to have something on your lapel.
06:53I do apologise, sir.
06:54Teeth and baby at home.
06:55I didn't realise you were married.
06:56It's complicated, sir.
06:57So, given this is your first day, normally I'd give you time to find your feet, but I'm
07:10afraid we're still a couple of men short.
07:11I think you met Detective Fitzroy when he came in for your interview.
07:14Yes, sir.
07:15Well, he's now left to take the role of senior detective in the Birmingham force and Detective
07:19Phelps is...
07:20He's at the City of London Police, sir.
07:22Yeah, I have some mates there.
07:24What are they saying about him?
07:26He's doing very well, sir.
07:31You can speak freely.
07:32He's a bit of a character, is what I hear, sir.
07:37Indeed he is.
07:39So, are you ready to get to work?
07:41Yes, sir.
07:42Very much so.
07:44And thank you again for giving me the job.
07:46I won't let you down.
07:48Glad to hear it.
07:50Two dead bodies for our immediate attention.
07:52One in a townhouse in Mayfair, the other in a cold, draughty alleyway in Kilburn.
07:57If you want to make a good impression on your first day, I would take...
08:01The draughty alleyway in Kilburn, sir.
08:04I believe you and I are going to get along just fine.
08:13It's not that business has dried up completely, but things have been rather quiet, particularly
08:17from Scotland Yard.
08:19Things will pick up, Clarence.
08:21They always do.
08:23Well, yes, but we haven't had a single case from Scotland Yard for some time now.
08:26Well, it has been unseasonably cold.
08:28Which, as you know, does have an effect on the crime levels.
08:32Usually, in such lean times, you'd be accusing Scotland Yard of employing an alternative agency.
08:37Usually, you'd be on your feet and out the door to talk to the inspector.
08:41Usually...
08:42Can we stop saying usually?
08:44This is about you and Inspector Blake, isn't it?
08:49I have no idea what you mean.
08:51Oh, I think you do.
08:54You have offended him in some way and he's refusing to employ you.
08:59Because your powers of deduction still need honing, Clarence.
09:04I can assure you, Inspector Blake and I are on the best of terms.
09:07Professionally speaking.
09:08Professionally speaking.
09:14Now, can you please drop that odd-looking frown?
09:16It's very disconcerting.
09:17Professionally speaking.
09:27She hasn't said a word, sir.
09:30I'm Inspector Blake from Scotland Yard.
09:33I believe it was you who found the body.
09:38Can you tell me your name?
09:42Take her back to the yard.
09:52Get her a cup of tea.
09:53Yes, sir.
09:56Come on now.
09:57No evidence of a robbery.
10:24No sign of a struggle.
10:28Potassium bromide.
10:33Potassium bromide.
10:38Victims well-dressed.
10:39There's no obvious signs of attack.
10:45Doesn't look like a theft.
10:46She's still got her purse.
10:47Yes, sir.
10:57Two bottles of potassium bromide.
11:10Two dead women.
11:12Coincidence, sir?
11:13Tell me about your lady.
11:18Her name was Elizabeth Roper.
11:23Passer-by said that she was having some sort of fit before she died.
11:26Convulsions and such.
11:28I've asked Uniform to do house-to-house inquiries.
11:31I also have a potential witness.
11:33A young woman.
11:34She seems traumatised by whatever she saw.
11:35Hasn't said a word, not even her name.
11:38When I was at Bow Street, if we had a female witness who was in shock, we used to ask one of the secretaries to sit with her for a bit.
11:47Do you have any ladies you could ask?
11:57An urgent request from Scotland Yard, that's welcome news indeed.
12:03Shall I get you a can?
12:05Not yet. I'm thinking.
12:08May I point out that you've been reading the same telegram for almost ten minutes now?
12:12What if another case comes in, something bigger, more lucrative?
12:18I don't understand.
12:20Well, it's a fairly simple concept.
12:21I don't understand because that's literally never bothered you before.
12:24Am I missing something?
12:29Fine.
12:31Fine. I'll go.
12:39Miss Scarlet.
12:40Inspector Blake.
12:42Where is she?
12:53Would you like a cup of tea? Coffee?
12:58I know where they keep the whisky if that helps.
13:05There's no rush.
13:07Take your time.
13:09As I said, my name's Miss Scarlet, but you can call me Eliza.
13:14And you are?
13:19My name's Sarah Mason.
13:22She arrived at the house of the deceased Miss Quayle at 25 past 8 this morning.
13:26The door was ajar, and when no one answered she ended to find Miss Quayle collapsed on the floor.
13:29What was her reason for going to Miss Quayle's home?
13:32Miss Mason is a secretary to a doctor on Harley Street.
13:35Isambard Cole.
13:38He was treating the deceased for a form of neuroses.
13:41He sent Miss Mason to check on her when she failed to attend an appointment last evening.
13:45That is most comprehensive.
13:47Thank you, Miss Scarlet.
13:48Miss Scarlet.
13:49I believe she's now ready to make a full statement.
13:51I'll send my invoice to the accounts department.
13:54You're leaving.
13:56You asked me to speak to your witness, and I have.
13:59I'm sure you can take it from here.
14:01No persuasion or manipulation to get me to hire you on the rest of the case?
14:07This is a new dawn indeed, and one I am ill-prepared for.
14:12I'm trying to make the best of a difficult situation, Alexander.
14:16Believe me, it's not easy turning down work.
14:19Eliza.
14:30I don't want people to know about us either.
14:33Not yet, anyway.
14:35The fact is, you are an excellent detective, and I need your help.
14:41Are you trying to charm me?
14:44Yes.
14:45Is it working?
14:47Come.
14:49Detective Willows, this is Miss Scarlet.
14:51Hello, she is, sir.
14:52It's nice to meet you, Miss Scarlet.
14:53And you?
14:54I saw you in court once.
14:55You were giving evidence at the Jacobson trial.
14:57You kept interrupting the judge, and you got fined.
15:00Twice.
15:02Only twice.
15:05You have some information on your poisoning?
15:06I do, sir.
15:07The deceased, Mrs. Roper, she was under the care of a doctor at Harley Street.
15:11He specializes in treating melancholia.
15:14The doctor is in barred cold, by any chance?
15:17The very same.
15:19So both women were prescribed potassium bromide by the same doctor?
15:23Yeah, it would seem that way.
15:25We need to speak to this doctor and contact the pharmacy that supplies him with the drugs.
15:28There's also the post-mortem of the two women that need to be expedited.
15:32Thank you, Miss Scarlet.
15:33I'm quite aware what the next step should be.
15:40Do what she said.
15:42Yes, sir.
15:43Well, as you said, I can take it from here, so thank you again for coming in.
15:54Unless you do want to help with the investigation.
15:57No, fine, thank you.
16:06No, fine, thank you.
16:08No, fine, thank you.
16:09So, we'll say that I'm here because I interviewed the secretary and I've worked for Scotland Yard for many years, even before you arrived, in fact, so be sure to mention that.
16:27You all right?
16:28Yes, I'm fine.
16:30It's just our first professional engagement since.
16:33Well, you know, I just want everything to go smoothly.
16:36As do I.
16:38Off to you.
16:39No, Alexander, when we're working together, it's best that you treat me as you would one of your men.
16:43You can be polite in our private time.
16:46Perhaps you could write a list of what I'm meant to do and when.
16:49Here.
17:05Two of my patients found dead.
17:08Mrs. Roper collapsed in the street and Miss Quayle was found at home by your secretary.
17:13By Miss Mason.
17:15The poor creature suffers from a nervous disposition. She will be most traumatized.
17:18Well, yes, that's why I interviewed her.
17:21Because as a woman, Inspector Blake thought it might help.
17:24Since, well, Miss Mason is also a woman.
17:31Lady Detective. How curious.
17:34Do you often work together?
17:35I have a long-standing relationship, working relationship with Scotland Yard, not just Inspector Blake, so...
17:41Well, that's why I'm here.
17:45Both of the deceased were found with the same medication.
17:48Potassium bromide.
17:50Was it you who prescribed that?
17:52To control the melancholia from which they both suffered.
17:55They were also undergoing a course of electrotherapy.
17:58I used the updated adaptation of the pulver markers technique.
18:01Oh. Yes, I've read about this.
18:04Patients are given electrical currents that pass through the body to the brain.
18:07It's...
18:08It's to calm the mind of agitation.
18:11All right, I told you about this.
18:14At your office.
18:15At Scotland Yard.
18:17Yes, Miss Connett.
18:19Thank you for reminding me, particularly of the location of said conversation.
18:24Elizabeth Roper was seen to have some kind of convulsion before she died. Could this be linked to the treatment?
18:35Mild convulsions only occur whilst the electric current is being administered.
18:39As for the potassium bromide, it is possible, I suppose, but it would be an extreme and unusual side effect.
18:48Could someone have tampered with the medication?
18:51Unlikely.
18:52I receive it sealed from the pharmaceutical supplier. I then administer the dosage myself.
18:58We will need a list of all other patients prescribed with potassium bromide.
19:03Yes, of course.
19:05It may not be a factor, but until we see the postmortem we cannot be sure.
19:08Yes.
19:09You mentioned that your secretary, Miss Mason, suffers from a nervous condition.
19:13Is she also on this medication?
19:15Yes, she is.
19:17I'll add her to the list.
19:22I'll speak to Miss Mason whilst you and your men track down the other patients.
19:29What?
19:30You were so intent on keeping our relationship secret that you're in danger of broadcasting the very thing you're trying to conceal.
19:36Yes, perhaps I am being a little overly cautious.
19:39My nerves were a little freed in there.
19:41Really? I had no idea.
19:43I'll go and visit Miss Mason.
19:45Would you like a lift?
19:46No, no, no.
19:47The less we're seen together, the better.
19:49Good day, Inspector Blake.
19:52Hold the door, please.
19:54Good day, Mr Potts.
19:56Ah, Detective Willows. Unaccustomed to seeing you within these hallowed walls?
19:59Transferred from Bow Street. It's my first day today.
20:01Best of praise to you.
20:02Actually, I was just coming to see you.
20:04We need the postmortems for the two women members.
20:05We need the postmortems for the two women members.
20:06Well, I'll send word as soon as the examinations are completed.
20:07But I must warn you, we are running very much behind today.
20:08Hence why I'm here.
20:09Have you ever chance to see Mr Wormsley?
20:10Afraid not.
20:11I can find hide the hair of him.
20:12If you do happen upon him, please impress that he is needed at the mortuary most precipitously.
20:14And do use that word.
20:15I'll do my best, Mr Potts.
20:16I'll do my best, Mr Potts.
20:17I'll do my best.
20:18Good day, Mr Potts.
20:19Good day, Mr Potts.
20:20Good day, Mr Potts.
20:21Good day, Mr Potts.
20:22Ah, Detective Willows.
20:23Unaccustomed to seeing you within these hallowed walls?
20:24I'll send word as soon as the examinations are completed.
20:25But I must warn you, we are running very much behind today.
20:28Hence why I'm here.
20:29Have you ever chance to see Mr Wormsley?
20:31Afraid not.
20:32I can find hide the hair of him.
20:34If you do happen upon him, please impress that he is needed at the mortuary most precipitously.
20:38And do use that word.
20:40I'll do my best, Mr Potts.
20:45Hello again.
20:46Did you find it at the clerical office?
20:48I did.
20:49You're a lifesaver.
20:50Thanks so much.
20:51How's your first day?
20:52So far, so good.
20:53Glad to hear it.
20:55I didn't get your name.
20:57Willows.
20:58Detective Willows.
20:59George Willows.
21:00It's a lot of names.
21:02I'm just Isabel.
21:04Well, Isabel Summers.
21:06Nice to meet you, Detective George Willows.
21:23Miss Mason.
21:24Miss Mason.
21:25Miss Mason.
21:26Who are you?
21:27Who are you?
21:28Who are you?
21:29Do you know that man?
21:30I believe so.
21:31Do you know that man?
21:32I believe so.
21:33I don't know his name.
21:34I don't know his name.
21:35But he's a patient.
21:36I believe so.
21:37I don't know his name.
21:38But he's a patient of Dr. Cole's.
21:39I remember seeing him a couple weeks back.
21:40I don't know his name.
21:41But he's a patient of Dr. Cole's.
21:42I remember seeing him a couple weeks back.
21:43He came to see Dr. Cole.
21:44And what did he say?
21:45I don't know his name.
21:46But he's a patient of Dr. Cole's.
21:47I remember seeing him a couple weeks back.
21:48He came to see Dr. Cole.
21:49And what did he want with me?
21:50Well.
21:51We can't be certain.
21:52I don't know his name.
21:53But he's a patient of Dr. Cole's.
21:54Do you know that man?
21:55I believe so.
21:56I don't know his name.
21:57But he's a patient of Dr. Cole's.
21:58I remember seeing him a couple weeks back.
21:59He came to see Dr. Cole.
22:00And what did he want with me?
22:01Well.
22:02We can't be certain.
22:03But there's a chance that the two women who died had their medication poisoned.
22:04Two women.
22:05Another of Dr. Cole's patients has died.
22:06As well as Miss Quayle.
22:07Yes.
22:08And Mrs. Elizabeth Roper.
22:09As in.
22:10And I ask for a question, is that though he's been trying to tell the case that the
22:26has died as well as miss quail yes and mrs elizabeth roper and you think the medication
22:34may have killed them well we're still waiting on the post-mortem report i think you should
22:39stop taking your tablets until we know more may i ask why you're taking the medication
22:48life has been a struggle for me i grew up in an orphanage and then the workhouse and when i
22:57came of age i left to work in a laundry which is where dr cole took pity on me he took me in
23:05first as a housemaid and then he trained me as his secretary
23:12he taught me to read and write a father couldn't have done more
23:20you're having electrotherapy
23:25it helps me tremendously dr cole administers it he'll know the name of the man you found here
23:36sounds like the man you described is zebediah sawyer he's a long-standing patient of mine
23:47poor creature plagued by demonic voices telling him to cause people harm
23:53when was the last time you saw him
23:55last week he turned up at my door in an agitated state we'd started a course of electrotherapy a
24:03few days earlier and he was adamant it had made him worse i offered to help him but he wouldn't
24:08listen he was in a blind rage enough to wish harmony an act of revenge perhaps
24:14the zebediah developed his condition in his early 20s but before that he was a functioning member of
24:20society he had several different jobs including being a clerk at a pharmacist store
24:26could he have the skill to temper with the medication you prescribed
24:31the bottles you found on the dead women could i see them
24:36both bottles are wrongly labeled
24:41according to dr cole one tablet of potassium bromide is the standard daily dose
24:46these labels say five tablets a potentially lethal amount
24:49luckily these are the only bottles affected
24:52the other patients all had the correct dose
24:55so the zebediah sawyer tampered with the labels
24:58perhaps there's revenge on the doctor who failed to cure him
25:02it seems so
25:02any news on the post-mortems
25:07still waiting sir
25:08what the earth's going on in the city mortuary
25:10i saw mr potts earlier who's looking for mr worm today
25:13grace get yourself down to the city mortuary find out what's going on over there
25:16yes sir
25:22do we have an address for zebediah sawyer
25:24there are at least twelve known addresses the man moved around a lot
25:29it would save time if we took a few each
25:32no you will remain here
25:35what why
25:38miss scullet the man we are hunting is extremely dangerous
25:42then i will be careful

28:59thank you
29:13thank you
29:19thank you
29:27I have a revolver, and I'm not afraid to use it.
29:41I'd really rather you didn't.
29:43Alexander!
29:45Miss Scarlet!
29:57I made myself look an idiot.
29:59You're overreacting.
30:00Do you have any idea how hard it's been for me to build my reputation,
30:03only to act like some damsel in distress?
30:06I haven't even called you Alexander!
30:08Detective Willows won't care.
30:11He'll put it down to you being scared witless.
30:14Which, by the way, is allowed,
30:16since you are a mere mortal like the rest of us.
30:20Tying myself in knots, thinking,
30:22what should I say? What should I do?
30:25How would I behave if I were a normal detective?
30:29I'm exactly where you're normal.
30:33I'm more concerned that you put yourself at risk.
30:36It was only luck that I was there.
30:37Belmont Lodging House was on my list.
30:40You said you wouldn't go alone.
30:42I wasn't alone.
30:43Clarence was with me for most of the time.
30:45Clarence was your hired muscle.
30:48Years of carrying ledges have not gone to waste.
30:50Stronger than he looks.
30:54Now I feel guilty about lying to you.
30:57You see, this is impossible.
30:58We cannot work together.
30:59Eliza, you're overreacting.
31:03What if the lads just came by with a message for you, Inspector?
31:07Thank you, Mrs. Ross.
31:12I have to go.
31:13I've made a decision.
31:20I will no longer work on the case.
31:22Don't be ridiculous.
31:24I want our...
31:26courtship romance,
31:29whatever you want to call it,
31:30to have a fighting chance.
31:32This is the best way.
31:34Well,
31:35for what it's worth,
31:36I think you're wrong.
31:37No one knows about us, Eliza.
31:40But you must do what's right for you.
31:45Have I not been like a mother to that girl?
31:48Have I not been the one
31:49to pick her up when she grazed her knee?
31:51Or dried her eyes
31:52when Arabella Herbert
31:53called her the cruelest of names?
31:56Or defended her to her father
31:57when she was expelled from college?
31:59Again?
32:00Yet she tells me nothing.
32:02Nothing.
32:04That was your day.
32:04I was dismissed.
32:10Mr. Wormsley
32:10finally arrived at work
32:12at five o'clock this evening.
32:13Five o'clock!
32:14Well, I could take no more,
32:15so I gave me a piece of my mind.
32:17Oh, Barnabas,
32:17I am sorry.
32:18You would not even allow me
32:19to collect my things.
32:21Threw me out like a vagrant.
32:22Ruined my hat.
32:24Do you know what else he called me?
32:26A vexatious buffoon.
32:28Will you wait and see
32:29what I call him
32:30if I ever set eyes on that man?
32:32Thirty years
32:32I have given to the city mortuary
32:34and now
32:35for the first time in my life
32:36I'm
32:37I'm unemployed.
32:40Oh.
32:41Why don't you get out
32:43of these workloads
32:43and I make you a nice dinner
32:45then we should talk things through
32:47over a glass of cherry
32:48by the fire.
32:50Yes.
32:51Good evening.
32:53Good that it were.
32:54What's wrong with Barnabas?
32:58He's been sacked.
33:00Sacked?
33:01That's what I said.
33:03What's wrong with you?
33:05Is there anything you'd like to tell me?
33:08Like what?
33:12Dinner will be in an hour.
33:14Good evening, sir.
33:26Detective Willows.
33:28What have we got?
33:29He was pulled out
33:30about an hour ago.
33:31There's a gunshot wound to the head.
33:34And do we know who he is?
33:36I think this is our man, sir.
33:37He certainly fits the description.
33:39Oh, Zebediah.
33:45What did you do?
33:49You can confirm
33:51that this is your patient,
33:51Zebediah Sawyer.
33:53It is.
33:58Is it possible
33:59that he could have taken his own life?
34:01The gunshot seems to have been
34:03at close range.
34:05On more than one occasion
34:06he expressed suicidal thoughts.
34:07That's why we started
34:09the course of electrotherapy.
34:11But his drinking
34:12exacerbated his symptoms.
34:15I tried to persuade him
34:17to stop.
34:20But he had a chaotic mind.
34:26It's late.
34:28I'll come by in the morning
34:30to take a full statement.
34:32Get some rest, doctor.
34:34I did everything I could
34:35to help him.
34:36But over the years
34:38I've come to realise
34:39that
34:39some people
34:41are beyond help.
34:55It's not like you
34:55to forget your key, Clarence.
34:57It's not lying me
34:58to be suffering from alcohol,
34:59boys.
35:00As requested,
35:02I visited all the public houses
35:03of the Seventh Isle last night
35:05in search of this
35:06Zebediah Sawyer
35:07in one particularly grotty establishment
35:10called the Plague Pit.
35:12I ran into a squatter bottle
35:14with some of the locals.
35:14I honestly think
35:15I would have been safer
35:16in an actual Plague Pit.
35:18I had to buy five rounds
35:20of roughest whiskey
35:22for the whole pub.
35:24That is the only reason
35:25I'm still alive.
35:28Well,
35:28thank you for your efforts.
35:32But Scotland
35:33are no longer
35:34in need of our services.
35:36What?
35:37Why not?
35:39Well,
35:39because I've just received
35:43a telegram
35:43from Inspector Blake.
35:45A body was found
35:46on the riverbank last night
35:47and identified
35:48as Zebediah Sawyer.
35:50Really?
35:52Clarence,
35:52will you please
35:53stop questioning me
35:54every time I mention
35:54Scotland Yard
35:55or Inspector Blake?
35:56All I was going to say
35:57is that according
35:58to my new friends
35:59at the Plague Pit,
36:00Mr Sawyer
36:01is very much alive.
36:02What?
36:03Yes.
36:04He's awaiting sentencing
36:05in Manchester County Prison.
36:09Lord,
36:11you're welcome.
36:39Barnabas, I heard about your dismissal. I'm sorry.
36:45I've been instructed to come by to pick up my personal effects.
36:49Do you happen to know if Mr. Wormsley's in attendance?
36:52Well, no one appears to be here. The door was left open.
36:55Mr. Wormsley's gone out and left the door on the ledge. Not for the first time.
37:00I'm pleased that you're here because I need your assistance.
37:03I'd like to look at the photographs of two recent post-mortems the dead women brought in yesterday.
37:07I'm afraid that as a former employee, I'm no longer permitted access to the premises.
37:14Well, I won't tell if you don't.
37:16That would be a severe breach of protocol. I simply cannot.
37:19No, no, of course not.
37:24Well, I am here on official police business.
37:27So, perhaps if you assist me, then I can grant you permission.
37:33And you do need to collect your things, do you not?
37:37Very well.
37:51Miss Scarlet, would you be so kind as to grant me permission to enter the city mortuary?
37:57Permission granted, Mr. Potts.
37:58Now then, I need your brain.
38:21Dr. Cole?
38:22Miss Mason.
38:43Sarah.
38:45Please, put the gun down.
38:47Whatever's happened, we can talk it through.
38:49Talk to him.
38:50Not me.
38:52He's the liar.
38:53He's the one that's lied again and again and again.
38:59Put the weapon down, Miss Mason.
39:01No.
39:01No.
39:01No.
39:02No.
39:02No.
39:02No.
39:02No.
39:02No.
39:03No.
39:03No.
39:04No.
39:04No.
39:05No.
39:05No.
39:06No.
39:07No.
39:07No.
39:08No.
39:09No.
39:10No.
39:11No.
39:12No.
39:13No.
39:14No.
39:15No.
39:16No.
39:17No.
39:18Your mother was an inmate at an asylum where...
39:22I was the residing physician.
39:28She's so beautiful.
39:32So fragile.
39:35She fell in love.
39:36I knew it was wrong
39:40which is why I left my position
39:42and I never saw her again
39:43I had no idea she was with child
39:49or that she died in childbirth
39:52I only found out years later
39:56through some research I was carrying out
39:58at the Bulloch Workhouse
39:59there I found a file on Sarah
40:02by that time she'd left
40:06but I was determined to find her
40:09I was working in a laundry
40:12it was a miserable existence
40:16one day Dr Cole came to do a study
40:20on the health of the girls that worked there
40:22he seemed to feel sorry for me in particular
40:25and took me in
40:27he never told me who he really was
40:31the man lying in the mortuary
40:35isn't your patient Zebediah Sawyer is he
40:37unlike the two women
40:40he doesn't have the marks on his wrist
40:41from the electrotherapy you said you'd given him
40:43his name is Franklin Sloan
40:48he was a private detective
40:51who helped me track Sarah down
40:53two weeks ago he showed up at my door drunk
40:57he had gambling debts
40:59he tried to blackmail me
41:02I refused to pay him
41:03and when I found out he'd visited Sarah
41:06I knew he would reveal
41:10to her who I really was
41:12which is when you had the idea
41:14to blame him for the deaths
41:15of the two women
41:15you gave him the identity
41:17of a past patient
41:18you knew was locked up
41:19in Manchester prison
41:20so if Sloan didn't poison them
41:23who did
41:25it was me
41:27I made a mistake
41:30got confused by the different medicine dosages
41:33and mixed up the information on the labels
41:35all of this
41:37is my fault
41:39I am the one to blame
41:43not Sarah
41:43the poor child
41:46had not long learned to read and write
41:48I pushed her
41:50too hard
41:53gave her too much responsibility
41:57I was just so proud of her
42:01so you blamed Sloan to protect your daughter
42:04and then you killed him
42:07not before he told Miss Mason the truth
42:11this morning
42:15I woke up to find an envelope
42:17had been slipped under my door in the night
42:19and it was a file
42:22where I learned that
42:25Dr. Cole was my father
42:29I was so angry
42:33and confused
42:34in a rage
42:36she picked up my revolver
42:38she didn't mean to hurt me
42:41the same revolver used to put a bullet
42:43in Sloan's head
42:44so what happens now?
42:56well given the circumstances
42:57if Miss Mason puts in a guilty plea
42:59and punishes or she'll live with a prison sentence
43:01Dr. Cole on the other hand
43:03do you still have that whiskey in your office?
43:07are you suggesting being seen
43:09entering my office?
43:11together
43:11very funny
43:13goodnight Detective Willows
43:21Miss Summers
43:22goodnight to you
43:23was there anything else
43:27you wanted to
43:28say to me?
43:29or ask me?
43:31no I don't think so
43:32shame
43:34because I'm free this evening
43:36I'm afraid I'm not
43:39I have to pick up the baby
43:40from the minders
43:41oh I didn't realise
43:43she's not mine
43:43she's my sister
43:45she lives with me
43:45it's a long story
43:46well
43:49goodnight to text you realise
43:51but
43:53I'm free tomorrow night
43:55I'm glad you changed your mind
44:09about working the case
44:10the outcome could have been
44:13very different
44:14you would have worked it out
44:16probably yes
44:18Eliza
44:21you don't need to say it
44:23you didn't know what I was going to say
44:25you're going to say that
44:27me believing I could keep us
44:28in some sort of
44:28bubbles
44:29not only childish
44:30but unrealistic
44:31I was going to say
44:34as an ex-military man
44:37structure and control
44:39run through my veins
44:40but over the years
44:42I've learned that
44:43trying to control too much
44:44of your life is futile
44:46and
44:47when you stop trying to do so
44:49that's where the real freedom lies
44:52oh and there's one more thing
44:57goodness
44:58I don't know how much more wisdom
44:59I can take
45:00the burden of this situation
45:04might be eased
45:05if you were to confide in someone
45:06someone other than me
