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!
00:30COVID-19
00:50I don't know.
01:20I don't know.
01:50Hello?
02:04Who's there?
02:20Alexander?
02:22What are you doing here?
02:24Well, it seems an urgent night to come to this address.
02:26As did I.
02:28Condemned asylum.
02:30Think of nicer places to meet.
02:34Welcome to my office.
02:38Miss Scarlet, Inspector Blick.
02:44Do appreciate your punctuality.
02:46Miss Scott?
02:48Yes.
02:50That's what you call me, isn't it?
02:52I use so many names it's hard to keep track.
02:56Oh, I do apologise for the surroundings.
03:01What they lack in comfort, they make up for indiscretion.
03:04You've summoned us here on government business.
03:06Please.
03:08As you know, my department deals with international espionage, not murder investigations.
03:14You will have read about the death of Sir Joseph Milner, Under Secretary at the Foreign Office.
03:20On the face of it, there are no suspicious circumstances.
03:24But, Sir Joseph spent much of his time moving between the foreign embassies.
03:29So, I am duty bound to make sure there is no foul play.
03:33Your assistance in this matter will, of course, be rewarded with a generous increase in manpower and resources in your next budget review.
03:43And for you, Miss Scarlet, shall we say, double your usual fee?
03:51In return, I want a full written report on the circumstances of Sir Joseph's death.
03:56For my eyes only, of course.
03:58This investigation is strictly off the books.
04:03Do whatever you need to do. Just, um, be discreet.
04:09Oh!
04:11There is one more thing.
04:13That unpleasant business of the young lady caught spying around Scotland Yard
04:17means there will be some changes coming down the line.
04:21All officers will be made to sign a declaration of interest
04:24outlining any relationships with those they deal with in the line of duty.
04:29So, given the two of you are now romantically involved, this will be the last time you work together.
04:43as well as one of you are.
04:44And, then, will your life be set around the years later?
04:45And when the three of you are all over about the years later?
04:46Be sure.
04:47And, then, we are not that of course-
04:48It is.
04:49It is.
04:50It is.
04:51It is.
04:52It is.
04:53It is.
04:54It is.
04:55It is.
04:56It is.
04:57Beautiful.
04:58It is.
04:59It is.
05:00Oh.
05:01It is.
05:02It is.
05:04It is.
05:35We knew we couldn't keep it quiet forever.
05:48We'll be fine.
05:51I guess what my business may not.
05:54Losing Scotland Yard as a client.
05:56There I was thinking you're worried about us.
06:00I'm teasing you, Eliza.
06:03Don't, you know, I don't like it.
06:05I know how hard you've worked to build your business.
06:09I really am sorry.
06:12I know you are.
06:16To our last case.
06:19Our last case.
06:21Whatever the future brings,
06:23you will prevail.
06:26And if you don't, you can always blame me.
06:27Thank you, Inspector Blake.
06:30I appreciate it.
06:35Well, if this is to be our last case, we'd better make it count.
06:53How do we investigate the death of a government minister discreetly?
06:56We tread carefully and use people we can trust.
07:02I trust Clarence with my life as well as my ledgers.
07:06And someone else comes to mind too.
07:08Sir Joseph Milner was a senior minister at the Foreign Office,
07:36right-hand man to the Foreign Secretary.
07:38Yes, I read about him.
07:39He died from a hunting accident.
07:42The official story is he fell from his horse, cut his leg,
07:46the wound got infected, he developed a fever, dying a few days later.
07:49Official story?
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.
07:59Sir Joseph, mixed at the highest levels of Parliament, Whitehall,
08:03any 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?
08:19With a little help from me.
08:20The 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,
08:48just as we would in a genuine investigation.
08:50So this is to stay strictly between the four of us?
08:53Five. I have a man on the inside.
08:55The robberies took place in Mayfair and Westminster,
08:58so there will be extra patrols on the street.
09:00Anyone who looks suspicious, or anyone who 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.
09:10Me neither. Where 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.
09:20And those two case files you wanted.
09:26Thanks, lady.
09:27Do you have a moment, Mrs Potts?
09:28Of course, Detective Willis.
09:30I 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.
09:47Ladies, listen up.
09:54There's been a spate of street thefts,
09:56and Detective Willis is making this a top priority.
10:00So we need to stop what we're doing
10:01and type up the incident report right away.
10:04I have heard of no robberies on this street.
10:32It was mostly in the neighbouring area.
10:36But the Metropolitan Police like to be thorough.
10:39In truth, it is no surprise that I have heard nothing.
10:42My employer died last week,
10:44and I have barely left this house.
10:47There's so much to do.
10:48I'm very sorry to hear that, sir.
10:56It was a shock to the entire staff.
10:59Sir Joseph was a good man.
11:02This particular gang liked to target wealthy gentlemen
11:06and follow them to their residence.
11:08Such evil in this world.
11:09I 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...
11:30He enjoyed the company of ladies.
11:38That is all I shall say.
11:49There 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, but he wouldn't give details.
12:21He may wish to preserve his reputation.
12:24No one wants a butler who gossips.
12:26No, but it was something else.
12:29Something I can't put my finger on.
12:37What?
12:40Nothing.
12:42What?
12:47I'll miss this.
12:49Just working together.
12:50So, 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 course of suspicion.
13:07We need someone that we can trust.
13:10I trust Barnabas Potts.
13:12He's adamant he won't return to work
13:14until Mr Wormsley has apologised.
13:16God knows Ivy's tried.
13:17And there's no one else you might persuade him?
13:22Perhaps Mr Potts isn't the one who needs persuading.
13:25Mr Wormsley?
13:41Yes?
13:42So good to finally meet you.
13:46I do feel like I know you already.
13:49I've been asking around about you
13:50and learnt a great deal.
13:52Where you go?
13:54What you do?
13:55Who will you meet?
13:56It's all down here.
14:03A complete list of everything you've been up to.
14:08Perhaps Mrs Wormsley might be interested in a coffee too.
14:16What do you want?
14:18I'm going to talk to you about a friend of mine.
14:21Oh, what a muddle indeed.
14:36Mr Potts.
14:38It is grand to see you back.
14:40Oh, it's good to be back, Detective Willows.
14:43Mr Wormsley's 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?
15:01The 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.
15:11Well, 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,
15:18well, let's just say it's a confidential matter
15:20and 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.
15:46This 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.
16:00But 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.
16:11A man like that won't take too kindly to leverage.
16:16Well, just to confirm,
16:19should this turn into a physical confrontation,
16:22that is very much your department, not mine.
16:24Leave it with me.
16:35Last chance, Jack.
16:36Last chance, Jack.
16:37He'll shut up. He's about to start.
16:38Come on. Come on.
16:39Let's go.
17:04Come on.
17:07I'm no match for you, my friend.
17:20Drink?
17:23That would be most well called.
17:37Mrs Potts, I just wanted to thank you for your assistance and for your discretion.
17:44Oh, it's my pleasure, Detective Willows. In all honesty, I quite enjoyed it.
17:48Oh, while you're here, the applicant's new office manager, they need security clearance.
17:53The powers that be have been extra cautious after what happened with Miss Summers.
17:58Oh, I am sorry. That was insensitive of me.
18:01No. I'm the one who should apologise. I should have seen through her.
18:06No. You weren't the only one taken in by her. It wasn't your fault.
18:11Well, let's hope the disciplinary board agree.
18:13You're one of the best officers we have, Detective Willows. I'm sure they'll see that.
18:21Thank you, Mrs Potts.
18:31So, here's what we know.
18:33Sir Joseph liked the women, and his butler slightly shifty.
18:37Is that it?
18:39Afraid so.
18:41Although I could also wonder that you look beautiful today.
18:44Today?
18:46So not yesterday?
18:48Has anyone ever told you you can be rather demanding?
18:51Constantly.
18:53Oh, please tell us you have something.
18:57I spoke to the man who delivers the coal 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.
19:08I spoke to him today.
19:09Apparently, none of the other servants like him.
19:14Rumour has it, Sir Joseph accused him of theft and planned to dismiss him.
19:20But then, the minister opt and croaked it.
19:26And there's something else?
19:27Even though he lives in a servants' quarters, Mr Lawrence rents a lodging room in Whitechapel.
19:35Do you have the address?
19:37Of course he does.
19:38Mr Lawrence?
19:54Mr Lawrence?
20:09The police first.
20:12Thank you, Inspector Blake.
20:25Mr Lawrence.
20:38How is he?
20:39The doctor isn't sure what's wrong with him.
20:40He has a fever, breathing problems and muscle spasms in his neck and jaw.
20:53Sounds like tetanus.
20:55They're considering it.
20:57They can't see any wounds on his body that would trigger the infection.
21:00Mr Lawrence?
21:01Sir?
21:03I 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.
21:11Most likely due to tetanus.
21:13So Joseph and his butler both were suspected tetanus?
21:18Bit odd, isn't it?
21:20Given that it's not infectious.
21:21Odd and unlikely.
21:23Mr Potts said there was something else that caused those symptoms.
21:27Strictly poisoning.
21:35Mr Wormsley was most keen to hear all about my ideas for improving the mortuary.
21:40I must say he's a changed man.
21:42Oh, it's good indeed to be back.
21:45But alas, I shall have to withdraw my application to be office manager at Scotland Yard.
21:52I'm so sorry to disappoint you, my jewel.
21:55I know how much you are relishing us working together.
21:57Scotland Yard's loss is the mortariest game, Barnabas.
22:04Thank you, my beloved.
22:08Right.
22:09I 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 say...
22:19If you want something doing, ask a busy person.
22:21No.
22:22Well, just going to head in the handcart.
22:24It's nice to have my happy Barnabas back again.
22:31Now we just need to work on you.
22:34I'm fine.
22:36Then why does your face tell me otherwise?
22:39You've been very quiet.
22:47There are changes coming at Scotland Yard.
22:49Inspector 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.
23:01Yes, 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.
23:08You don't know what I was going to say.
23:10When I was a little girl, I had a similar problem.
23:12I 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.
23:46You know a gentleman covers his mouth when he yawns.
23:55A gentleman doesn't stay up all night doing background checks.
24:00What did you find?
24:02None.
24:05All Sir Joseph's household staff were clean.
24:10I'm getting too old for this.
24:12Are you taking a nap?
24:14In here?
24:15Yes.
24:17If you stop talking.
24:19This is a place of work, not a lodging house.
24:22Aha!
24:36I think I found something.
24:38Just before he died, a large transfer of money was made from Sir Joseph's bank account to a small German bank in the city.
24:44We need to find out who this bank account belongs to.
24:54Come along.
24:56No time to rest.
24:57Hurry up!
24:58It was here Mr. Lawrence collapsed, so I would wager it was poison.
25:11Someone would use strychnine as a poison of choice.
25:16I imagine they'd put it in food or drink.
25:19The question is, who would want to poison the butler and his employer?
25:24No.
25:32I almost told Sophia about us last night.
25:36Almost?
25:37I'd like to do it together.
25:42I hope she takes it well.
25:44She's certainly very fond of you.
25:46She thinks you're funny.
25:48Funny?
25:49Is it odd?
25:50Funny isn't amusing.
25:52Although you are a little odd.
26:06Alexander?
26:11That's an awful lot of watches for one man.
26:14Especially for someone on a butler's wage.
26:16What's this?
26:18Cooling cars.
26:22Countess Polchek.
26:25Russian Embassy.
26:26There has been a recent spate of robberies in the area, Ambassador Polchek.
26:37I have heard nothing of these robberies of which you speak.
26:43The thieves have been targeting ladies mostly, which is why Miss Scarlet is helping Scotland Yard with our inquiries.
26:49During our investigations we were able to recover some of the stolen items.
26:53One of which is a silver card holder, belonging to Countess Polchek.
26:58Is she a relative of yours?
26:59She's my wife.
27:00But I have no knowledge of her being robbed.
27:01Well perhaps we could speak to her.
27:02She's not here.
27:03Do you know when she'll be back?
27:04My wife and I, we have parted ways.
27:05She has returned to Russia.
27:06That is all I wish to say on the matter.
27:07It's not our intention to cause you embarrassment or distress, sir.
27:09It's not our intention to cause you embarrassment or distress, sir.
27:10It's not our intention to cause you embarrassment or distress, sir.
27:11But I have no knowledge of her being robbed.
27:12Well perhaps we could speak to her.
27:13She's not here.
27:14Do you know when she'll be back?
27:17My wife and I, we have parted ways.
27:22She has returned to Russia.
27:27That is all I wish to say on the matter.
27:32It'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, sir 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.
28:36They seemed frustrated with him.
28:39One started shouting.
28:41I couldn't understand what they were saying.
28:44It was not in English.
28:46What language was it?
28:47It was, I believe, German?
29:04Name and address of the account holder that Sir Joseph made payments to.
29:09How did you get that?
29:12Too charm and charisma.
29:16All right, fine. I 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.
29:29So, 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.
29:45You're impressed, aren't you?
29:47I can tell.
29:50Perhaps.
29:55Sorry.
29:59Sir Joseph did not pay well.
30:08I've no regrets about stealing from him.
30:13One of the items you stole was a silver case containing the cooling 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.
30:26She 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.
30:42Talk us through the hours before you became ill.
30:46Everything you did.
30:49I finished work about nine o'clock, then went back to my lodging room.
30:54I needed some money that I'd kept there.
30:58I rested a while, smoked a pipe.
31:02Then, the next thing I remember, I was gasping for breath and everything went black.
31:07I went on a little bit and I found it.
31:10I ran for three hours before my he was missing.
31:12Oh, the other thing was fun.
31:13Where did you get the tobacco from?
31:14Was from a pouch I stole from Sir Joseph?
31:15Mr. Potts, Barnabas, I'm here because I have a theory and I'm in need of your advice.
31:41And yes, I'm aware that I have not given 24 hours notice of my arrival, and yes, I am aware that there is a strict protocol.
31:48Oh, protocol be damned. You're always welcome here, Eliza. Come in. Come in.
32:00Strictly, it'd usually be found in the stomach and intestines of a cadaver, assuming it had been ingested, which is the most common form of poisoning.
32:11What if you inhaled it? Say, two tobacco?
32:15Oh, yes. That would work. Rather rapidly too.
32:20Of course, the expert in such matters is Mr. Wormsley, and he seems rather on edge recently.
32:26Perhaps the joy of my return has overwhelmed him.
32:30Well, I'd rather we get this conversation to ourselves.
32:33My questions are related to a rather highly confidential case, one which myself and Inspector Blake were like your opinion, and yours alone.
32:42Inspector Blake asked for me, personally.
32:44He did.
32:48Then I'm at your disposal.
32:50We shall start with the basics of toxicology.
32:57Dosage, absorption, exposure.
33:09Pull out anyone with a German background, particularly those with convictions for violent crime.
33:14Mrs. Potts, you take the A's, the Willows, the B's.
33:23And keep going till we run out of alphabet.
33:31This is going to be thirsty work.
33:33How about I organise 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?
33:52Yes, sir. Hearing's in a couple of days.
33:55How are you feeling about it all?
33:58Haven't slept in a week.
33:59Haven't eaten much either.
34:01My sister says, I'm like a bear with a sore head.
34:07Apart from that, I'm doing fine, sir.
34:10Well, I'll be there to speak for you.
34:12And in the meantime, try not to dwell on it.
34:15My sister also said that.
34:17Sounds like a wise woman, Detective Willows.
34:21I wanted to give you an update on the case.
34:24Was Sir Joseph murdered?
34:28I believe so, yes.
34:30You have evidence?
34:33We're working on it.
34:35Inspector Blake and I will have a full report for you soon.
34:42Are you in love with him?
34:45Pardon?
34:46It's a simple question.
34:48And one that bears no relevance to the investigation.
34:51I'll take that as a yes.
34:53So, may I give you some advice?
34:55There's 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.
35:05And of course, each man carries his own, um, merits, when it comes to passing the short amount of time we have on this earth.
35:12But to love someone fully, completely, that would be a mistake.
35:22For a woman, financial independence is everything.
35:23Do not make the mistake of trusting in a man.
35:36Any man.
35:38They will always put their own needs above ours.
35:43Without exception.
35:48It's a rather bleak view.
35:51And one that I don't share.
35:52It's a rather bleak view.
35:53It's a rather bleak view.
35:54It's a rather bleak view.
35:55It's a rather bleak view.
35:57Yes, you do.
35:58I don't know what you do.
35:59Let's go.
37:29I assume one of you is close land, an account holder at the Bank of Deutschland.
37:37They contain half of the geld from Sir Josef Haltenhart.
37:51Are you in?
37:59Gentlemen.
38:01Hmm.
38:09Your address was given to the Bank of Deutschland as a contact for an account Sir Josef Milner was paying into.
38:25Why do you have a photograph of Sir Josef Superior, Lord Powell, the Foreign Secretary?
38:35I believe my associate here speaks a little German.
38:45Do I have that right?
38:49You do, Inspector Bleak.
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 Josef Milner's murder.
39:07The penalty for which is death by hanging.
39:17I don't need to translate, Inspector.
39:21They understand perfectly.
39:30What do you want to know?
39:33Why did Sir Josef 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.
39:50They were waiting for Sir Josef to make contact, but they didn't know he was dead.
39:56The most incompetent assassins I have ever come across.
40:00It doesn't make sense that Sir Josef would hire such fools for such a high-risk operation.
40:04No, it does not.
40:06None of this makes sense.
40:09How did you get on at the mortuary?
40:11According to Mr. Potts, if someone wished to lace tobacco with strychnine,
40:17they would first need to dissolve the strychnine in alcohol,
40:19then 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.
40:38You 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 rats they supply.
40:48Already done.
40:49Five businesses that receive bulk deliveries are rat poison.
40:52You 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.
41:02The foreman said this business closed down years ago.
41:11Deliveries are forwarded onto another premises.
41:14I wrote down the address.
41:16Alright, spit it out.
41:17What?
41:18Something is on your mind.
41:19Someone just...
41:20Just gave me some unwanted advice.
41:22Never listen to advice.
41:23Never listen to advice.
41:24Not even mine.
41:25Not even mine.
41:26No.
41:27No.
41:28No.
41:29No.
41:30No.
41:31No.
41:32No.
41:33No.
41:34No.
41:35No.
41:36So, where did the foreman say to go?
41:37Find Inspector Blake, tell him to meet me at this address, vaguely.
41:39OTLMENT.
41:40No.
41:41No.
41:42No.
41:43No.
41:44No.
41:45No.
41:46No.
41:47No.
41:48No.
41:49No.
41:50No.
41:51No.
41:52No.
41:53No.
41:54So where did the foreman say to go?
41:55Find Inspector Blake, tell him to meet me at this address, vaguely.
42:05Vergently you recognize it, please I do
42:35All right boys and
43:05Good evening Miss Carlet
43:12It was you who killed Sir Joseph
43:18Inspector Blake is on his way
43:25We won't cover this up if that's what you're thinking
43:29Cover it up
43:31I want quite the opposite
43:33I want a full written report
43:35Handed in to the superintendent at Scotland Yard
43:37I don't understand
43:41There are many
43:45In our government that believe
43:47That Germany will soon be a threat to the national
43:49Interest, Sir Joseph was one of them
43:51But his superior, the foreign secretary
43:53Did not agree
43:53Which is why Sir Joseph hired two
43:56Lower level assassins to kill him
43:58Their only qualification is that they were German
44:01When it was discovered they were German
44:06It would have forced England into war with Germany
44:08War makes money for those in high places
44:12Regardless of the cost of human life
44:15My 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
44:33I want them to know what Sir Joseph had planned
44:37And why I killed him
44:39You acted alone?
44:44If my superiors knew what I had done
44:47It would have been covered up
44:48You're hanged for this
44:52Which is why I shall leave London tonight
44:55I have a must quite a fortune
44:56It's about time I enjoyed spending it
44:59You have made your decision about Inspector Blake
45:05I won't be giving him up
45:09Not for anything
45:12In that case
45:16Your fee will not be twice the normal rate as agreed
45:19It would be a great deal more
45:24Why?
45:28Because you're going to need it
45:29And because I like you, Miss Scarlet
45:32You're good at your job
45:34Use the money however you see fit
45:38But please
45:40Be ambitious
45:43You're going to need a drink first
46:01I don't agree with what Miss Scott did
46:06But she did it for her country
46:07I told the superintendent that I, like Miss Scott
46:12Have no taste for war
46:13Young men dying painful deaths for little purpose
46:16Did he listen?
46:19He did
46:19Turns out he had a son who died in Crimea
46:24He 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
46:36When will you tell him about us?
46:44I won't
46:45Because there's no need
46:48What?
46:52With his promotion he'll be leaving Scotland Yard
46:54And there'll be a new superintendent
46:56Well who will that be?
46:59Me
47:00You're going to be the next superintendent?
47:07Is that what you want?
47:12Nice office job
47:13More money
47:16Civilised hours
47:17No more getting shot at
47:19I'd say that's quite appealing
47:22And you
47:26Can carry on working for Scotland Yard
47:29Because I will no longer be the inspector hiring you
47:32I
47:36I don't know what to say
47:37How about
47:39Alexander
47:41You are
47:42The best thing that's ever happened to me
47:44Certainly the most handsome
47:46And I'm very lucky to have met you
47:47A little long-winded but
47:51Broadly 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
48:03That the new clerical manager should be of my choosing
48:06I think he'll approve of my choice
48:10Good morning
48:23Good morning, Mrs. Potts
48:28Good morning, Detective Winters
48:30To my clever wife
48:45On her new promotion
48:47To Ivy
48:49Ivy
48:50Ivy
48:50Thank you, Barnabas
48:56And thank you, Inspector Blake
48:59For having such faith in me
49:01It's called for more wine
49:04Easy does it, my beloved
49:06That'll be your third
49:08And I intend
49:09On having a fourth
49:10I'll go and get some more bottles from the kitchen
49:14Yes
49:15Will you assist me, Inspector Blake?
49:17Of course, Miss Carlos
49:17It is delicious
49:21Thank you
49:23Cheers
49:25I told Sophia that we'd go somewhere nice for lunch
49:35Monday this week, the three of us
49:37You want to tell her about us?
49:40It's time
49:41I already know
49:43What do you already know?
49:47That Eliza's your special lady friend
49:50And that you love her
49:51Oh
49:54Well, yes
49:57Yes, that's precisely what I wanted to tell you
50:00But can we still go to luncheon?
50:03Of course we can
50:06But not tomorrow
50:10I have a very busy day
50:11I'm going to hire some new detectives
50:14Maybe you should hire Sophia
50:16She certainly has very impressive powers of deduction
50:18You're silly, Papa
50:20I know
50:24Ready for the big day?
50:40Hmm
50:41Now, remember to make clear
50:44That the positions entail working long hours
50:47What if only two candidates turn up?
50:50Sometimes even on a Sunday
50:51Well, only one turns up
50:53And that we do not offer overtime
50:55Well, no one turns up
50:57Eliza
51:00All will be well
51:01Go on
51:03Welcome, everyone
51:24Please
