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.
09:49Get her a cup of tea.
09:52Yes, sir.
09:53Come on now.
09:57No evidence of a robbery.
10:24No sign of a struggle.
10:27Potassium bromide.
10:37Victims well-dressed.
10:39There's no obvious signs of attack.
10:44Doesn't look like a theft.
10:45She's still got her purse.
10:46Yes, sir.
11:06Two bottles of potassium bromide.
11:10Two dead women.
11:10Coincidence, sir?
11:16Tell me about your lady.
11:19Her name was Elizabeth Roper.
11:23Passerby said that she was having some sort of fit before she died.
11:26Convulsions and such.
11:28I've asked her 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.
11:36Hasn't said a word, not even her name.
11:39When I was at Bow Street,
11:40if we had a female witness who was in shock,
11:43we used to ask one of the secretaries to sit with her for a bit.
11:47Do you have any ladies you could ask?
11:48An urgent request from Scotland Yard?
11:58That's welcome news indeed.
12:03Shall I get you a can?
12:05Not yet.
12:05I'm thinking.
12:08May I point out that you've been reading the same telegram for almost ten minutes now?
12:13What if another case comes in?
12:15Something bigger, more lucrative?
12:17I don't understand.
12:19Well, it's a fairly simple concept.
12:21I don't understand,
12:21because that's literally never bothered you before.
12:23Am I missing something?
12:28Fine.
12:30Fine.
12:31I'll go.
12:38Miss Scarlet.
12:39Inspector Blake.
12:41Where is she?
12:48Would you like a cup of tea?
12:54Coffee?
12:58I know where they keep the whiskey, if that helps.
13:05There's no rush.
13:07Take your time.
13:09As I said, my name's Miss Scarlet,
13:11but you can call me Eliza.
13:12And you are?
13:13And 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.
13:25The door was ajar, and when no one answered, she ended to find Miss Quayle collapsed on the floor.
13:30What was her reason for going to Miss Quayle's home?
13:32Miss Mason is a secretary to a doctor on Harley Street.
13:35At, uh, Isambard 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.
13:48I believe she's now ready to make a full statement.
13:51I'll send my invoice to the accounts department.
13:53You're leaving.
13:55You asked me to speak to your witness, and I have.
13:58I'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.
14:15Believe me, it's not easy turning down work.
14:19Eliza.
14:25I 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.
14:40Are you trying to charm me?
14:44Yes.
14:45Is it working?
14:46Come.
14:48Detective 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.
15:01Only twice.
15:04You 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 bad cold, by any chance?
15:16The very same.
15:17So both women were prescribed potassium bromide by the same doctor?
15:22Yeah, it would seem that way.
15:24We 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.
15:31Thank you, Miss Scarlet.
15:33I'm quite aware of what the next step should be.
15:40Do what she said.
15:42Yes, sir.
15:47Well, 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.
16:06I like you.
16:07So, we'll say that I'm here because I interviewed a 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.
16:35As do I.
16:37Off to you.
16:38No, 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.
16:55Two of my patients found dead.
17:07Mrs. Roper collapsed in the street, and Miss Quayle was found at home by your secretary.
17:12By Miss Mason.
17:13The poor creature suffers from a nervous disposition.
17:16She 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.
17:30Lady Detective.
17:32How curious.
17:33Do you often work together?
17:34I have a long-standing relationship, working relationship with Scotland Yard, not just Inspector Blake, so that's why I'm here.
17:44Both of the deceased were found with the same medication, potassium 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.
18:00Oh, yes, I've read about this.
18:04Patients are given electrical currents that pass through the body to the brain.
18:08It's to calm the mind of agitation.
18:11All right, I told you about this.
18:14At your office.
18:15It's Scotland Yard.
18:17Yes, Miss Connett.
18:19Thank you for reminding me.
18:22Particularly of the location of said conversation.
18:25Elizabeth Roper was seen to have some kind of convulsion before she died.
18:33Could this be linked to the treatment?
18:35Mild convulsions only occur whilst the electric current is being administered.
18:40As 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?
18:50Unlikely.
18:51I receive it sealed from the pharmaceutical supplier.
18:54I then administer the dosage myself.
18:58We will need a list of all other patients prescribed with potassium bromide.
19:02Yes, of course.
19:04It may not be a factor, but until we see the post-mortem, we cannot be sure.
19:07Yes.
19:08You mentioned that your secretary, Miss Mason, suffers from a nervous condition.
19:12Is she also on this medication?
19:14Yes, she is.
19:16I'll add her to the list.
19:21I'll speak to Miss Mason whilst you and your men track down the other patients.
19:28What?
19:29You were so intent on keeping our relationship secret that you're in danger of broadcasting the very thing you're trying to conceal.
19:35Yes, perhaps I am being a little overly cautious.
19:38My nerves were a little freed in there.
19:40Really?
19:40I had no idea.
19:42I'll go and visit Miss Mason.
19:44Would you like a lift?
19:45No, no, no.
19:46The less we're seen together, the better.
19:49Good day, Inspector Blake.
19:50Hold the door, please.
20:10Good day, Mr Potts.
20:12Detective Willows.
20:13Unaccustomed to seeing you within these hallowed walls?
20:15Transferred from Bow Street.
20:16It's my first day today.
20:17Best of British to you.
20:18Actually, I was just coming to see you.
20:20We need the post-mortems for the two women brought in this morning.
20:23I'll send word as soon as the examinations are completed, but I must warn you, we are running very much behind today.
20:29Hence why I'm here.
20:30Have you perchance seen 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, the clerical office?
20:48I did.
20:48You're a lifesaver.
20:49Thanks so much.
20:50How's your first day?
20:52So far, so good.
20:54Glad to hear it.
20:54I didn't get your name.
20:58Willows.
20:58Detective Willows.
20:59George Willows.
21:01It's a lot of names.
21:03I'm just Isabel.
21:05Well, Isabel Summers.
21:07Nice to meet you, Detective George Willows.
21:09Miss Mason?
21:33Miss Mason?
21:37Miss Mason?
21:39Who are you?
21:54Do you know that man?
21:56I believe so.
22:00I don't know his name, but he's a patient of Dr. Cole's.
22:05I remember seeing him a couple weeks back.
22:09He came to see Dr. Cole.
22:11And what did he want with me?
22:15Well, we can't be certain.
22:18But there's a chance that the two women who died had their medication poisoned.
22:23Two women?
22:24Another of Dr. Cole's patients has died, as well as Miss Quayle.
22:28Yes, and Mrs. Elizabeth Roper.
22:30And you think the medication may have killed them?
22:34Well, we're still waiting on the post-mortem report.
22:37I think you should stop taking your tablets until we know more.
22:46May I ask why you're taking the medication?
22:49Life has been a struggle for me.
22:51I grew up in an orphanage.
22:53I grew up in an orphanage.
22:54And then the workhouse.
22:55And when I came of age, I left to work in a laundry.
23:00Which is where Dr. Cole took pity on me.
23:04He took me in.
23:07First as a housemaid.
23:10And then he trained me as his secretary.
23:15He taught me to read and write.
23:18A father couldn't have done more.
23:20You're having electrotherapy.
23:28It helps me tremendously.
23:30Dr. Cole administers it.
23:33He'll know the name of the man you found here.
23:41Sounds like the man you describe is Zebediah Sawyer.
23:46He's a long-standing patient of mine.
23:49Poor creature.
23:50Played by demonic voices telling him to cause people harm.
23:54When was the last time you saw him?
23:57Last week.
23:58He turned up at my door in an agitated state.
24:01We'd started a course of electrotherapy a few days earlier,
24:04and he was adamant it had made him worse.
24:07I offered to help him, but he wouldn't listen.
24:09He was in a blind rage.
24:11Enough to wish harm on you?
24:13An act of revenge, perhaps?
24:16Zebediah developed his condition in his early twenties,
24:18but before that he was a functioning member of society.
24:22He 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?
24:33The bottles you found on the dead women, could I see them?
24:36Both bottles are wrongly labelled.
24:43According to Dr. Cole, one tablet of potassium bromide is the standard daily dose.
24:47These labels say five tablets, a potentially lethal amount.
24:50Luckily, these are the only bottles affected.
24:53The other patients all had the correct dose.
24:55So the Zebediah Sawyer tampered with the labels?
24:59Perhaps there's revenge on the doctor who failed to cure him.
25:02It seems so.
25:05Any news on the post-mortems?
25:07Still waiting, sir.
25:09What on earth is going on in the city mortuary?
25:11I saw Mr. Potts earlier who was looking for Mr. Wormsley.
25:14Gracie, get yourself down to the city mortuary.
25:15Find out what's going on over there.
25:16Yes, sir.
25:17Do we have an address for Zebediah Sawyer?
25:24There are at least 12 known addresses.
25:27The man moved around a lot.
25:28It would save time if we took a few each.
25:32No, you will remain here.
25:34What? Why?
25:38Miss Gullet, the man we are hunting is extremely dangerous.
25:42Then I will be careful, as we all will.
25:47I have many resources for such scenarios.
25:52I will take some hide muscle with me.
25:58Will you bring me to the nicest places?
26:01Have a wardens to mind, Clarence.
26:03I need two more to go.
26:04What's the next address?
26:06Uh, it's just a few doors down.
26:08Mrs. Zebediah Sawyer clearly likes this neighborhood.
26:11I'm curious, why did you bring me along with you?
26:14I was expecting to make that I wouldn't go alone.
26:17Yes, but that's my point.
26:18You've lied to the inspector many times before.
26:20It's a habit that I wish to break.
26:21Why?
26:22What's changed?
26:23Nothing's changed.
26:24I just want to tell the inspector to break the truth, that's all.
26:28Premises moved to Belmont Street.
26:32What?
26:32You're sending me to the roughest pubs this side of the city, to look for a heavy drinker who hears demonic voices telling him to kill people.
26:37I'll meet you back at the office first thing. If you don't show up, I'll send out a search party. How does that sound?
26:42You stay here. Visit the public houses and the streets around. See what we can find out. Apparently the man's a heavy drinker.
26:50I'll go to the Spelmont Street boarding house. See if there's been any sign of him.
26:54You're sending me to the roughest pubs this side of the city, to look for a heavy drinker who hears demonic voices telling him to kill people.
27:02I'll meet you back at the office first thing. If you don't show up, I'll send out a search party. How does that sound?
27:08Unsatisfactory.
27:08I'm looking for Mrs. Potts.
27:29Your founder?
27:30I present to give you this. We need to put out an appeal for information on a man named Zebediah Sawyer. This needs typing up and circulating.
27:37Consider it done. And you are?
27:39Good evening, Detective Willows.
27:40Miss Summers. How are you settling in?
27:43Yeah, there's a lot to learn, but I think I'm getting there.
27:45She's doing very well indeed.
27:49Was there anything else, Detective Willows?
27:53No. That's all. Thank you.
28:07Sir, where have you been all day? I had to go ahead and find an interim coroner in your state.
28:15Not now, Potts.
28:16Yes, now, Mr. Winsley, if you please.
28:22Sorry.
28:23Sir, but I can hold my tongue no longer.
28:27Things need to be said before the good reputation of this mortuary is forever tarnished.
28:30Get her out and stay out.
28:39What the?
28:47Thank you for your time.
28:53If there's any sighting at all of Mr. Sawyer, then please contact the police immediately.
28:58He's extremely dangerous.
29:23I have a revolver, and I'm not afraid to use it.
29:41I'd really rather you didn't.
29:43Alexander!
29:45Miss Scarlet!
29:45I 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, since you are a mere mortal like the rest of us.
30:20Tying myself in knots, thinking,
30:22what should I say?
30:24What 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.
30:50He's stronger than he looks.
30:55Now 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.
31:08I have to go.
31:15I've made a decision.
31:16I will no longer work on the case.
31:22Don't be ridiculous.
31:24I want our courtship romance,
31:29whatever you want to call it,
31:30to have a fighting chance.
31:32This is the best way.
31:34Well, for what it's worth, I 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 to pick her up when she grazed her knee,
31:51or dried her eyes when Arabella Herbert called her the cruelest of names,
31:54or defended her to her father when she was expelled from college?
31:59Again?
32:00Yet she tells me nothing.
32:02Nothing.
32:04How was your day?
32:05I was dismissed.
32:10Mr. Wormsley finally arrived at work at five o'clock this evening.
32:13Five o'clock!
32:14Well, I could take no more, so I gave me a piece of my mind.
32:17Oh, Barnabas, I am sorry.
32:18You would not even allow me to 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.
32:28Well, you wait and see how I call him if I ever set eyes on that man.
32:32Thirty years I have given to the city mortuary,
32:34and now, for the first time in my life, I'm...
32:37I'm unemployed.
32:40Oh.
32:42Why don't you get out of these workloads,
32:44and I'll make you a nice dinner.
32:46Then we should talk things through over a glass of cherry by the fire.
32:50Yes.
32:51Good evening.
32:51What did it work?
32:55What's wrong with Barnabas?
32:58He's been sacked.
33:00Sacked?
33:01That's all 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.
33:14Hey, Ron.
33:25Good evening, sir.
33:26Detective Willows.
33:28What have we got?
33:29He was pulled out about an hour ago.
33:31There's a gunshot wound to the head.
33:34And do we know who he is?
33:35I think this is our man, sir.
33:38He certainly fits the description.
33:43Zebediah.
33:45What did you do?
33:50You can confirm that this is your patient, Zebediah Sawyer.
33:52It is.
33:58Is it possible that he could have taken his own life?
34:01The gunshot seems to have been at close range.
34:05On more than one occasion, he expressed suicidal thoughts.
34:08That's why we started the course of electrotherapy.
34:11But his drinking exacerbated his symptoms.
34:14I tried to persuade him to stop.
34:21But he had a chaotic mind.
34:26It's late.
34:28I'll come by in the morning to take a full statement.
34:32Get some rest, doctor.
34:34I did everything I could to help him.
34:37But over the years, I've come to realize that
34:39some people are beyond help.
34:44It's not like you to forget your key, Clarence.
34:57It's not like me to be suffering from alcohol poisoning.
35:00As requested, I visited all the public houses
35:03of the Seventh Hours last night
35:05in search of this Zebediah Sawyer
35:07in one particularly grotty establishment
35:10called the Plague Pit.
35:12I ran into a squatter bottle with some of the locals.
35:14I honestly think I would have been safer
35:16in an actual Plague Pit.
35:18I had to buy five rounds of roughest whiskey
35:22for the whole pub.
35:25That is the only reason I'm still alive.
35:28Well, thank you for your efforts.
35:32But Scotland Yard are no longer in need of our services.
35:35What? Why not?
35:38Well, because I just received a telegram
35:43from Inspector Blake.
35:45A body was found on the riverbank last night
35:47and identified as Zebediah Sawyer.
35:50Really?
35:52Clarence, will you please stop questioning me
35:54every time I mention Scotland Yard or Inspector Blake?
35:56All I was going to say
35:57is that according to my new friends
35:59at the Plague Pit,
36:00Mr Sawyer is very much alive.
36:02What?
36:03Yes.
36:04He's awaiting sentencing
36:05in Manchester County Prison.
36:06He's awaiting sentencing in Manchester City.
36:07He's awaiting sentencing in Manchester City.
36:08He's awaiting sentencing in Manchester City.
36:09He's awaiting sentencing in Manchester City.
36:10He's awaiting sentencing in Manchester City.

36:23He's awaiting sentencing in Manchester City.
36:25He's awaiting sentencing in Manchester City.
36:26He's awaiting sentencing in Manchester City.
36:27Barnabas, I heard about your dismissal.
36:43I'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.
36:58Not 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.
37:06The dead women brought in yesterday.
37:08I'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.
37:21Well, I am here on official police business, so perhaps if you assist me, then I can grant you permission.
37:33And you do need to collect your things, do you not?
37:35Very 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.
38:07Dr. Cole?
38:30Dr. Cole?
38:31Miss 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.
38:56Put the weapon down, Miss Mason.
39:13Sarah is my daughter.
39:18Her mother was an inmate at an asylum where I was the residing physician.
39:26She's so beautiful.
39:32So fragile.
39:35We fell in love.
39:39I knew it was wrong, which is why I left my position and I never saw her again.
39:47I had no idea she was with child or that she died in childbirth.
39:52I only found out years later through some research I was carrying out at the Bulloch Workhouse.
40:01There I found a file on Sarah.
40:05By that time she'd left, but I was determined to find her.
40:09I was working in a laundry.
40:14It was a miserable existence.
40:17One day, Dr. Cole came to do a study on the health of the girls that worked there.
40:23He seemed to feel sorry for me in particular and took me in.
40:29He never told me who he really was.
40:31The man lying in the mortuary isn't your patient, Zebediah Sawyer, is he?
40:39Unlike the two women, he doesn't have the marks on his wrist from the electrotherapy you said you'd given him.
40:46His name is Franklin Sloan.
40:48It was a private detective who helped me track Sarah down.
40:55Two weeks ago, he showed up at my door drunk.
40:58He had gambling debts.
41:00He tried to blackmail me.
41:02I refused to pay him.
41:05And when I found out he'd visited Sarah,
41:08I knew he would reveal to her who I really was.
41:13Which is when you had the idea to blame him for the deaths of the two women.
41:15You gave him the identity of a past patient you knew was locked up in Manchester prison.
41:21So if Sloan didn't poison them,
41:23who did?
41:26It was me.
41:28I made a mistake.
41:31Got confused by the different medicine dosages
41:33and mixed up the information on the labels.
41:36All of this
41:37is my fault.
41:41I am the one to blame, not Sarah.
41:43The poor child
41:46had not long learned to read and write.
41:49I pushed her.
41:52Too hard.
41:55Gave her too much responsibility.
41:59I was just so proud of her.
42:02So you blamed Sloan to protect your daughter.
42:06Then you killed him.
42:07Not before he told Miss Mason the truth.
42:14This morning,
42:16I woke up to find an envelope
42:17had been slipped under my door in the night.
42:21And it was a file
42:22where I learned that
42:25Dr. Cole was my father.
42:29I was so angry
42:33and confused.
42:35In a rage.
42:37She picked up my revolver.
42:39She
42:39didn't mean to hurt me.
42:41The same revolver used
42:42to put a bullet in Sloan's head.
42:44So what happens now?
42:56Well, given the circumstances,
42:57if Miss Mason puts in a guilty plea
42:59and finishes,
42:59she'll live away
43:00in a prison sentence.
43:02Dr. Cole,
43:02on the other hand.
43:06Do you still have that whiskey
43:07in your office?
43:08Are you suggesting
43:09being seen entering my office?
43:11Together.
43:11Very funny.
43:20Good night, Detective Willows.
43:22Miss Summers.
43:23Good night to you.
43:26Was there anything else
43:27you wanted to say to me?
43:29Or ask me?
43:31No, I don't think so.
43:33Shame.
43:35Because I'm free this evening.
43:38I'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.
43:44She's my sister.
43:45She lives with me.
43:46It's a long story.
43:49Well,
43:50good night to Detective Willows.
43:52But,
43:53I'm free tomorrow night.
43:55I'm glad you changed your mind
44:09about working the case.
44:11The outcome could have been
44:13very different.
44:15You would have worked it out.
44:17Probably, yes.
44:20Eliza.
44:21You don't need to say it.
44:23You didn't know what I was
44:25going to say.
44:26You'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.
44:33I was going to say,
44:35as an ex-military man,
44:38structure and control
44:39run through my veins.
44:41But over the years,
44:42I've learned that
44:43trying to control too much
44:44of your life is futile.
44:46and when you stop
44:48trying to do so,
44:50that's where the real
44:52freedom lies.
44:56Oh, and there's one more thing.
44:58Goodness, I don't know
44:59how much more wisdom
44:59I can take.
45:02The burden of this situation
45:04might be eased
45:05if you were to confide
45:05in someone.
45:07Someone other than me.
45:08Barnabas!
45:25Barnabas!
45:27Are you cooking dinner?
45:29Indeed I am,
45:30my beloved.
45:31Now, sit down,
45:32put your feet up,
45:33and I'll go and fetch you
45:34a nice glass of sherry.
45:36What's the bourgeois this on?
45:38I've decided there's no point
45:39in moping about.
45:40So, until I receive
45:41a full and satisfactory
45:43apology from Mr. Wormsley,
45:44I shall be in charge
45:46of household duties.
45:48I'm rather looking forward
45:48to giving this kitchen
45:49a spring clean,
45:50perhaps even a little rearranging.
45:53Oh, so,
45:54the stew,
45:56gently simmering.
45:58So,
45:58before I add my dumplings,
46:00just enough time
46:01to fetch that sherry bottle,
46:02my jaws.
46:05Oh, excuse me.
46:06Nice to see him
46:08so contempt of it again.
46:10Mm-hmm.
46:15Ivy,
46:15there's something
46:16that I need to tell you
46:17about myself
46:18and Inspector Blake.
46:20I'm listening.
46:24Well, he's coming to dinner,
46:25so we need to set
46:26an extra place.
46:28And?
46:29And
46:35we are currently
46:37enjoying
46:38a quiet,
46:39very private
46:40courtship.
46:43Goodness me,
46:44I had no idea.
46:46You're a terrible liar.
46:48And you shouldn't
46:48have kept it from me.
46:49And you shouldn't
46:50be listening at doors.
46:51You and Inspector Blake,
46:53that is music
46:55to my ears.
46:56But please,
46:58keep it to yourself
46:58for now.
46:58We're still working
46:59out our arrangement.
47:00My lips are sealed.
47:01Bottle,
47:02oh, sherry.
47:05Barnabas,
47:06Inspector Blake
47:06is joining us
47:07for dinner.
47:07Ha!
47:10I invited him.
47:11The more,
47:12the merrier.
47:13We can enjoy
47:14a nice long game
47:14of gingerummy
47:15after dinner.
47:16The four of us,
47:17all evening,
47:18putting the world
47:19to rights.
47:19Oh,
47:19won't that be marvellous?
