01:29What are you doing here?
01:31I've seen an urgent need to come to this address.
01:33As did I.
01:35Condemned asylum.
01:37Think of nicer places to meet.
01:39Welcome to my office.
01:48Miss Scarlet.
01:49Inspector Blake.
01:51Do appreciate your punctuality.
01:53Miss Scott?
01:55Ah, yes.
01:57That's what you call me, isn't it?
01:59I use so many names, it's hard to keep track.
02:03Oh, I do apologise for the surroundings.
02:06What they lack in comfort they make up for in discretion.
02:09You've summoned us here on government business?
02:11Please.
02:13As you know, my department deals with international espionage, not murder investigations.
02:19You will have read about the death of Sir Joseph Milner, Undersecretary at the Foreign Office.
02:24On the face of it, there are no suspicious circumstances.
02:27But, Sir Joseph spent much of his time moving between the foreign embassies.
02:33So, I am duty-bound to make sure there is no fair play.
02:37Your assistance in this matter will, of course, be rewarded with a generous increase in manpower and resources in your next budget review.
02:44And for you, Miss Scarlet, shall we say, double your usual fee?
02:53In return, I want a full written report on the circumstances of Sir Joseph's death.
02:58For my eyes only, of course.
03:01This investigation is strictly off the books.
03:05Do whatever you need to do.
03:07Just, um, be discreet.
03:11Oh!
03:12There is one more thing.
03:15That unpleasant business of the young lady caught spying around Scotland Yard means there will be some changes coming down the line.
03:22All officers will be made to sign a declaration of interest, outlining any relationships with those they deal with in the line of duty.
03:32So, given the two of you are now romantically involved, this will be the last time you work together.
03:44Hmm.
03:51Drink?
03:53Make it double.
03:53We knew we couldn't keep it quiet forever.
04:05We'll be fine.
04:08I guess what my business may not.
04:12Losing Scotland Yard as a client.
04:13There I was thinking you're worried about us.
04:15I'm teasing you, Eliza.
04:20Don't.
04:21You know, I don't like it.
04:22I know how hard you've worked to build your business.
04:25I really am sorry.
04:28I know you are.
04:29To our last case.
04:35Our last case.
04:37Whatever the future brings, you will prevail.
04:41And if you don't, you can always blame me.
04:43Thank you, Inspector Blake.
04:46I appreciate it.
05:03Well, if this is to be our last case, we'd better make it count.
05:06How do we investigate the death of a government minister discreetly?
05:12We tread carefully and use people we can trust.
05:16I trust Clarence with my life as well as my ledgers.
05:20And someone else comes to mind, too.
05:22Sir Joseph Milner was a senior minister at the Foreign Office,
05:49right-hand man to the Foreign Secretary.
05:51Yes, I read about him.
05:51He died from a hunting accident?
05:54The official story is he fell from his horse, cut his leg,
05:58the wound got infected, he developed a fever, dying a few days later.
06:01Official story?
06:02That's not what happened.
06:04That's what we intend to find out.
06:05Oh, you think perhaps he was murdered?
06:07What makes you think that?
06:08Well, we can't go into detail.
06:10Not yet, at least.
06:11Sir Joseph, mixed at the highest levels of Parliament, Whitehall,
06:14any number of foreign embassies,
06:16we cannot simply turn up and start asking questions.
06:18Which is why we'll have a cover.
06:19We'll say we're investigating a spate of street thefts in Westminster and Mayfair.
06:23My father did this once when his prime suspect was from a powerful family.
06:27And it worked?
06:29With a little help from me.
06:30The area of our bogus street thefts will include Park Lane, where Sir Joseph lived,
06:37as well as the government offices in Whitehall and the embassies he frequented.
06:42We need you two to poke around at the areas that require, well, less conventional methods.
06:46Myself and Inspector Blake will deal with the face-to-face interviews,
06:51gaining access to the premises to see what we can learn about Sir Joseph.
06:53And to avoid suspicion, we'll have an increased uniform presence on the streets,
06:57just as we would in a genuine investigation.
06:59So this is to stay strictly between the four of us?
07:01Five.
07:02I have a man on the inside.
07:04The robberies took place in Mayfair and Westminster,
07:07so there will be extra patrols on the street.
07:09Anyone who looks suspicious, or anyone who thinks they may have seen something,
07:11pull them over, see what they have to say.
07:12I have a question, Sir.
07:15I haven't heard anything about these robberies.
07:18Me neither.
07:19Where are the incident reports?
07:22There's a backlog in the clerical office.
07:25No doubt the incident reports are being processed as we speak.
07:30And those two case buyers who want it?
07:33Thanks, lady.
07:34Do you have a moment, Mrs Potts?
07:35Of course, Detective Willis.
07:36I need some incident reports.
07:43Oh, if you just give me the reference numbers, I can find them for you right away.
07:46It's...
07:47It's a little more complicated than that.
07:51A delicate matter requires the utmost discretion.
07:57Ladies, listen up.
07:59There's been a spate of street peps,
08:02and Detective Willis is making this a top priority.
08:05So we need to stop what we're doing,
08:07and type up the incident report right away.
08:10Yes, ma'am.
08:11Yes, ma'am.
08:15There's something down this road here.
08:18I don't see anything at all.
08:23It's fine.
08:24I'm quite fine.
08:25Yeah.
08:25Yeah.
08:25Yeah.
08:25Yeah.
08:26Yeah.
08:26Yeah.
08:26Yeah.
08:27Yeah.
08:27Yeah.
08:27Yeah.
08:27Yeah.
08:28Yeah.
08:28Yeah.
08:29Yeah.
08:29Yeah.
08:30Yeah.
08:30Yeah.
08:31Yeah.
08:31Yeah.
08:32Yeah.
08:32Yeah.
08:33Yeah.
08:33Yeah.
08:34Yeah.
08:35I have heard of no robberies on this street.
08:37It was mostly in the neighbouring area.
08:40But the Metropolitan Police like to be thorough.
08:43In truth, it is no surprise that I have heard nothing.
08:46My employer died last week,
08:48and I have barely left this house.
08:50There's so much to do.
08:54I'm very sorry to hear that, sir.
08:55It was a shock to the entire staff.
09:00Sir Joseph was a good man.
09:03This particular gang liked to target wealthy gentlemen and follow them to their residence.
09:10Such evil in this world.
09:12I couldn't agree more, Mr. Lawrence.
09:17Perhaps you could summarise the Joseph's daily routine in the event the thieves had been following him.
09:23Sir Joseph would go to Whitehall to work, and then to various embassies around the city.
09:30He'd come back late with...
09:31He enjoyed the company of ladies.
09:38That is all I shall say.
09:40I visited at least a dozen of the embassies,
09:52but could find nothing of interest about Sir Joseph.
09:55Seemed affable enough.
09:57What did they say?
09:58Quiet.
09:59Well-mannered.
10:01Not given to voicing strong opinions.
10:03He was a politician.
10:05Exactly.
10:06Butler said much the same.
10:08Although there was one thing of interest.
10:10Apparently, Sir Joseph liked female company.
10:14Lovers or ladies of the night?
10:16You wouldn't say.
10:17I tried to press him, but he wouldn't give details.
10:20He may wish to preserve his reputation.
10:23No one wants a butler who gossips.
10:25No, it was something else.
10:28Something I can't put my finger on.
10:36What?
10:38Nothing.
10:40What?
10:44I'll miss this.
10:46Us working together.
10:54So you were saying?
10:56We need to see the coroner's report into Sir Joseph's death.
11:00I can't request a file from the mortuary.
11:02It will cause suspicion.
11:02We need someone that we can trust.
11:06I trust Barnabas Potts.
11:09He's adamant he won't return to work until Mr. Wormsley has apologized.
11:12God knows Ivy's tried.
11:14There's no one else who might persuade him?
11:18Perhaps Mr. Potts isn't the one who needs persuading.
11:21Mr. Wormsley?
11:36Mr. Wormsley?
11:37Yes?
11:38So good to finally meet you.
11:41I do feel like I know you already.
11:42I've been asking around about you and then took a great deal.
11:47Where you go?
11:48What you do?
11:50Who you meet?
11:54It's all down here.
11:57A complete list of everything you've been up to.
12:01Perhaps Mrs. Wormsley might be interested in a coffee too.
12:05What do you want?
12:11I want to talk to you about a friend I've made.
12:19Oh, what a muddle indeed.
12:21Mr. Potts, it is grand to see you back.
12:32Ah, it's good to be back, Detective Willows.
12:36Mr. Worms' change of heart was almost unexpected.
12:39But to his credit, he apologized.
12:41Several times, in fact, most profusely.
12:43He insisted I return to work immediately and practically dragged me from the house.
12:48And I know why.
12:50You do?
12:51The place is in total disarray and in need of urgent attention.
12:56But as I always say...
12:58The world is going to hell in a handcart.
13:00If you want something doing, ask a busy person.
13:03Well, it is lucky for me that you're here, Mr. Potts,
13:05because there's a coroner's report I need to see.
13:07Now, the deceased in question, well, let's just say it's a confidential matter.
13:12And one that demands your utmost discretion.
13:14I got your message.
13:25It's the same.
13:26He's been delivering coal to the Joseph's house twice a week for the past three years.
13:30I thought he could give us some insight into the minister's domestic staff.
13:34If this gentleman, for want of a better word, has a criminal record for assault, he broke a man's arm in an arm wrestling match.
13:43Well, he's a big man.
13:45No, he didn't win. He lost.
13:47That's why he broke his opponent's arm.
13:49But he failed to declare his criminal record when he took a job delivering coal to a government minister.
13:56I thought he could give us useful leverage when we question him.
13:59A man like that won't take too kindly to leverage.
14:04Well, just to confirm, should this turn into a physical confrontation, that is very much your department, not mine.
14:12Leave it with me.
14:21Come on, come on.
14:26Come on, come on.
14:56I'm not a match for you, my friend.
15:05Drink?
15:07That would be more swell, Carl.
15:22Mrs. Potts.
15:23I just wanted to thank you for your assistance and for your discretion.
15:28Oh, it's my pleasure, Detective Willows.
15:30In all honesty, I quite enjoyed it.
15:32Oh, while you're here, the applicant's new office manager, they need security clearance.
15:37The powers that be have been extra cautious after what happened with Miss Summers.
15:40Oh, I'm sorry, that was insensitive of me.
15:44No.
15:46I'm the one who should apologise.
15:47I should have seen through her.
15:49No.
15:49You weren't the only one taken in by her.
15:52It wasn't your fault.
15:53Well, let's hope the disciplinary board agree.
15:55You're one of the best officers we have, Detective Willows.
15:58I'm sure they'll see that.
16:02Thank you, Mrs. Potts.
16:12So here's what we know.
16:14Sir Joseph liked the women, and his butler slightly shifty.
16:18Is that it?
16:20Afraid so.
16:22Although I could also think that you look beautiful today.
16:25Today?
16:26So not yesterday?
16:28Has anyone ever told you you can be rather demanding?
16:31Constantly.
16:35Oh, please tell us you have something.
16:37I spoke to the man who delivers the coal to Sir Joseph's house.
16:40After a few drinks, he got loose-lipped.
16:44Told me there's a butler there, a Mr. Lawrence.
16:47I spoke to him today.
16:49Apparently, none of the other servants like him.
16:53Rumor has it, Sir Joseph accused him of theft,
16:57and planned to dismiss him.
16:58But then, the minister opt and croaked it.
17:04And there's something else?
17:07Even though he lives in a servant's quarters,
17:10Mr. Lawrence rents a lodging room in Whitechapel.
17:13Do you have the address?
17:15Of course he does.
17:19Mr. Lawrence?
17:32Please, first.
17:48Thank you, Inspector Blake.
17:50Mr. Lawrence.
18:01This is Lawrence.
18:01How is he?
18:21The doctor isn't sure what's wrong with him.
18:23He has a fever, breathing problems, and muscle spasms in his neck and jaw.
18:26Sounds like tetanus.
18:29They're considering it.
18:31I can't see any wounds on his body that would trigger the infection.
18:34Mr. Scarlett?
18:35Sir?
18:36I have the corridor's report, Mr. Joseph.
18:38It's believed that the cut he sustained falling from his horse may have caused an infection.
18:42The cause of death was given as cardiac arrest, most likely due to tetanus.
18:45So Joseph and his butler both were suspected tetanus?
18:51Bit odd, isn't it?
18:53Given that it's not infectious.
18:54Odd and unlikely.
18:56Mr. Potts said there was something else that caused those symptoms.
19:00Strictly poisoning.
19:00Mr. Wormsley was most keen to hear all about my ideas for improving the mortuary.
19:12I must say he's a changed man.
19:15Oh, it's good indeed to be back.
19:18But alas, I shall have to withdraw my application to be office manager at Scotland Yard.
19:24I'm so sorry to disappoint you, my Jewel.
19:26I know how much you were relishing us working together.
19:29Scotland Yard's loss is the mortuary's gain, Barnabas.
19:35Thank you, my beloved.
19:39Right.
19:39I have an extremely long to-do list.
19:42This great city of ours seems to increase its supply of the debt each and every day.
19:47But as I always say...
19:49If you want something doing, ask a busy person.
19:51No.
19:52I'm just going to head in a handcart.
19:53It's nice to have my happy Barnabas back again.
20:01Now we just need to work on you.
20:04I'm fine.
20:05Then why does your face tell me otherwise?
20:08You'd be very quiet.
20:09There are changes coming at Scotland Yard.
20:19Inspector Blake will have to declare our relationship and we will no longer be able to work together.
20:26Well, I suppose it couldn't stay secret forever.
20:29Yes, but losing Scotland Yard as a client will be a loss indeed.
20:32When you were a little girl...
20:35Please don't say it.
20:35You don't know what I was going to say.
20:37When I was a little girl, I had a similar problem.
20:39I overcame that problem and learned a lesson I can use as an adult.
20:42I wasn't going to say that.
20:44Yes, you were.
20:46How many formative experiences can one child have?
20:50I wish you were still a child.
20:51I'd put you over my knee for being so rude.
21:02You know a gentleman covers his mouth when he yawns?
21:22A gentleman doesn't stay up all night doing background checks.
21:27What did you find?
21:29Nothing.
21:32Ah, Sir Joseph's household staff were clean.
21:39I'm getting too old for this.
21:42Are you taking a nap?
21:43In here?
21:44Yes.
21:46If you stop talking.
21:48This is a place of work, not a lodging house.
21:58Aha!
21:58I think I found something.
22:03Just before he died, a large transfer of money was made from Sir Joseph's bank account to a small German bank in the city.
22:14We need to find out who this bank account belongs to.
22:18Come along.
22:19No time to rest.
22:20No time to rest.
22:24Hurry up!
22:24It was here Mr. Lawrence collapsed, so I would wager it was poison.
22:34Someone would use strychnine as a poison of choice.
22:38I imagine they'd put it in food or drink.
22:41The question is, who would want to poison the butler and his employer?
22:45I almost told Sophia about us last night.
22:56What, almost?
22:58I'd like to do it together.
23:02I hope she takes it well.
23:04She's certainly very fond of you.
23:06She thinks you're funny.
23:08Funny?
23:09Is it odd?
23:10Funny isn't amusing.
23:12Although you are a little odd.
23:26Alexander.
23:26That's an awful lot of watches for one man.
23:32Especially for someone on a butler's wage.
23:35What's this?
23:37Calling cards.
23:41Countess Polchek.
23:44Russian embassy.
23:51There has been a recent spate of robberies in the area, Ambassador Polchek.
23:54I have heard nothing of these robberies of which we speak.
24:01The thieves have been targeting ladies mostly, which is why Miss Scarlet is helping Scotland Yard with our inquiries.
24:07During our investigations, we were able to recover some of the stolen items.
24:11One of which is a silver card holder, belonging to Countess Polchek.
24:18Is she a relative of yours?
24:19She's my wife.
24:23But I have no knowledge of her being robbed.
24:27Well, perhaps we could speak to her.
24:29She's not here.
24:32Do you know when she'll be back?
24:37My wife and I, we have parted ways.
24:40She has returned to Russia.
24:44That is all I wish to say on the matter.
24:48It's not our intention to cause you embarrassment or distress, sir.
24:52But could you give us a sense of your wife's movements in the last few weeks?
24:55I suppose, if I don't tell you, some gossiping servant will.
25:07She had been seeing a lover.
25:10Sir Joseph Milner.
25:14I can only assume that the calling cards were stolen from his residence.
25:19You are aware Sir Joseph passed away last week?
25:22I am.
25:24And for full disclosure, I did visit him a few days before he died.
25:29I was going to warn him to stay away from my wife.
25:33But when I arrived, he was outside his house, in the middle of some kind of argument.
25:42What kind of argument?
25:42He was on the street with two men.
25:48They seemed frustrated with him.
25:51One started shouting.
25:53I couldn't understand what they were saying.
25:55It was not in English.
25:58What language was it?
26:00It was, I believe, German.
26:03German.
26:12Name an address of the account holder that Sir Joseph made payments to.
26:20How did you get that?
26:23Too charm and charisma.
26:26All right, fine.
26:27I brought the teller.
26:28The account belongs to a Mr. Klaus Lang.
26:31He's been visiting the bank every week to withdraw £100 on each visit.
26:36Always on the same day, always at the same time, and always with an associate.
26:40So, you pay a visit to this address, and I shall head back to the office to carry on digging into Sir Joseph's finances.
26:48What?
26:51None.
26:54You're impressed, aren't you?
26:55I can tell.
26:59Perhaps.
27:03Sir.
27:04Sir.
27:06Sir.
27:10Sir Joseph did not pay well.
27:17I've no regrets about stealing from him.
27:21One of the items you stole was a silver case containing the calling cards of the Russian ambassador's wife.
27:27She left her bag at the house one evening.
27:29You are aware they were having an affair.
27:31Of course.
27:32She wasn't the first.
27:34Believe me.
27:35What of these two German men Sir Joseph was arguing with the day before he died?
27:42I was not there.
27:43It was my day off.
27:49Talk us through the hours before you became ill.
27:52Everything you did.
27:53I finished work about nine o'clock, then went back to my lodging room.
28:01I needed some money that I kept there.
28:04I rested a while, smoked a pipe.
28:08Then, the next thing I remember, I was gasping for breath, and everything went black.
28:11Where did you get the tobacco from?
28:17It was from a pouch I stole from Sir Joseph.
28:19Mr. Potts, part of this.
28:41I'm here because I have a theory, and I'm in need of your advice.
28:45And yes, I am aware that I have not given 24 hours' notice of my arrival.
28:48And yes, I am aware that there is a strict protocol.
28:51Oh, protocol be damned.
28:53You're always welcome here, Eliza.
28:55Come in.
28:58Come in.
29:03Strickling would usually be found in the stomach and intestines of a cadaver,
29:08assuming it had been ingested, which is the most common form of poisoning.
29:12What if you inhaled it?
29:15Say, two tobacco?
29:18Oh, yes.
29:18That would work.
29:19Rather rapidly, too.
29:21Of course, the expert in such matters is Mr. Wormsley.
29:25He seems rather on age recently.
29:28Perhaps the joy of my return has overwhelmed him.
29:31Well, I'd rather we get this conversation to ourselves.
29:34My questions are related to a rather highly confidential case,
29:37one which myself and Inspector Blake will like your opinion, and yours alone.
29:42Inspector Blake asked for me, personally.
29:45He did?
29:47Oh.
29:48Then I'm at your disposal.
29:51Mm-hmm.
29:53We shall start with the basics of toxicology.
29:58Dosage, absorption, exposure.
30:00Pull out anyone with a German background,
30:10particularly those with convictions for violent crime.
30:14Mrs. Potts.
30:16You take the A's.
30:17Yes.
30:18Willows.
30:20The B's.
30:22And keep going till we run out of alphabet.
30:23This is going to be thirsty work.
30:32How about I organise a nice cup of tea for us all?
30:34Oh, sounds like a very sensible plan, Mrs. Potts.
30:38Right.
30:38I understand the disciplinary board wrote to you.
30:49Yes, sir.
30:50Hearing's in a couple of days.
30:52How are you feeling about it all?
30:54Haven't slept in a week.
30:56Haven't eaten much either.
30:59My sister says I'm like a bear with a sore head.
31:04Apart from that, I'm doing fine, sir.
31:05Well, I'll be there to speak for you.
31:09In the meantime, try not to dwell on it.
31:11My sister also said that.
31:13Sounds like a wise woman, Detective Willows.
31:17I wanted to give you an update on the case.
31:20Was Sir Joseph murdered?
31:23I believe so, yes.
31:26You have evidence?
31:28We're working on it.
31:30Inspector Blake and I will have a full report for you soon.
31:35Are you in love with him?
31:39Pardon?
31:41It's a simple question.
31:42And one that bears no relevance to the investigation.
31:46I'll take that as a yes.
31:47So, may I give you some advice?
31:50As two women working in the underbelly of this great city,
31:53I am sure we have faced similar challenges.
31:56One of which being loneliness.
31:57And, of course, each man carries his own merits
32:03when it comes to passing the short amount of time we have on this earth.
32:07But to love someone fully,
32:11completely,
32:13that would be a mistake.
32:19For a woman, financial independence is everything.
32:22Do not make the mistake
32:26of trusting in a man.
32:28Any man.
32:30They will always put their own needs above ours.
32:35Without exception.
32:39It's a rather bleak view.
32:42And one that I don't share.
32:48Yes, you do.
32:49Yep, yep.
33:12Yep.
33:12Yep.
33:16Yep.
33:17Yep.
33:18Yep.
33:19Yep.
33:19Yep.
33:19Let's go.
33:49Let's go.
34:19Let's go.
34:20Let's go.

34:54Let's go.
34:55Let's go.
34:56Let's go.
34:57Let's go.
34:58Let's go.
34:59Let's go.
35:00Let's go.
35:05Your address was given to the Bank of Deutschland as a contact for an account Sir Joseph Milner
35:09was paying into.
35:14Why do you have a photograph of Sir Joseph Superior, Lord Powell the Foreign Secretary?
35:20I believe my associate here speaks a little German.
35:30Do I have that right?
35:33You do, Inspector Bleak.
35:38So, would you be so kind as to tell these gentlemen the following?
35:44If they do not talk, they will be charged with Sir Joseph Milner's murder.
35:50The penalty for which is death by hanging.
35:59I don't need to translate, Inspector.
36:03They understand perfectly.
36:11What do you want to know?
36:14Why did Sir Joseph hire you?
36:16They were hired to kill his superior, Lord Powell, the Foreign Secretary.
36:23If they are to be believed, they were given very little information, not even a reason why.
36:31They were waiting for Sir Joseph to make contact, but they didn't know he was dead.
36:36The most incompetent assassins I have ever come across.
36:40It doesn't make sense that Sir Joseph would hire such fools for such a high-risk operation.
36:44No, it does not.
36:46None of this makes sense.
36:49How did you get on at the mortuary?
36:50According to Mr. Potts, if someone wished to lace tobacco with strychnine, they would first need to dissolve the strychnine in alcohol, then soak the tobacco in the solution.
37:02But these days, it's harder than ever to get your hands on it, particularly the concentrated amounts that you need to kill someone.
37:08But you could extract it from rat to poison.
37:10You just need very large quantities.
37:12And no pharmacy would be allowed to sell such amounts.
37:15Well, exactly. You need to get it from a specialised pharmaceutical company, which is what Mr. Potts does to keep the rats under control at the mortuary.
37:22We need to pay a visit to that company, find out who else they supply.
37:25Already done. Five businesses that receive bulk deliveries are rat boys.
37:29You and Moses worked through the list. Willows, you're with me. Let's see if a few hours in the cells have made our German friends even more cooperative.
37:38It's even more cooperative.
37:57The foreman said this business closed down years ago.
38:00Deliveries are forwarded onto another premises.
38:03I wrote down the address.
38:08Alright, spit it out.
38:11What?
38:12Something is on your mind.
38:15Someone just...
38:17Just gave me some unwanted advice.
38:21Never listen to advice.
38:25Not even mine.
38:29So where do the foreman say to go?
38:30Find Inspector Blake, tell him to meet me at this address, urgently.
38:40You recognise the police?
38:42I do.
38:43Never.
38:44Never listen to it.
39:05One, two, three!
39:08All right, poison.
39:38Good evening, Miss Scarlet.
39:47It was you who killed Sir Joseph.
39:54Inspector Blake is on his way.
39:56We won't cover this up if that's what you're thinking.
40:01Cover it up.
40:02I want quite the opposite.
40:03I want a full written report handed in to the superintendent at Scotland Yard.
40:06I don't understand.
40:13There are many in our government that believe that Germany will soon be a threat to the
40:17national interest.
40:18Sir Joseph was one of them.
40:20But his superior, the foreign secretary, did not agree.
40:23Which is why Sir Joseph hired two lower level assassins to kill him.
40:28Their only qualification is that they were German.
40:33When it was discovered they were German, it would have forced England into war with Germany.
40:38War makes money for those in high places, regardless of the cost of human life.
40:44My conscience would not allow such a thing.
40:49So you hired Inspector Blake and I to get the evidence in black and white?
40:54My hope is that your report will be read by the few decent men left in the upper echelons
41:00of government.
41:01I want them to know what Sir Joseph had planned and why I killed him.
41:09You acted alone?
41:11If my superiors knew what I had done, it would have been covered up.
41:16You were hanged for this.
41:19Which is why I shall leave London tonight.
41:21I have a must quite a fortune.
41:22It's about time I enjoyed spending it.
41:28You have made your decision about Inspector Blake.
41:33I won't be giving him up.
41:36Not for anything.
41:41In that case, your fee will not be twice the normal rate as agreed.
41:47It would be a great deal more.
41:51Why?
41:52Because you're going to need it.
41:55And because I like you, Miss Scarlet, you're good at your job.
42:00Use the money however you see fit.
42:03But please, be ambitious.
42:19Lisa Sedgway, what happened?
42:22You're going to need a drink first.
42:27I don't agree with what Miss Scott did, but she did it for her country.
42:31I told the superintendent that I, like Miss Scott, have no taste for war.
42:36Young men dying painful deaths for little purpose.
42:39Did he listen?
42:40He did.
42:43Turns out he had a son who died in Crimea.
42:49He assured me my report had gone all the way up to the Prime Minister,
42:51who of course wishes to keep it out the public eye.
42:54How can he ensure that?
42:56A hefty promotion for the super.
43:01When will you tell him about us?
43:05I won't.
43:07Because there's no need.
43:10What?
43:12With his promotion, he'll be leaving Scotland Yard, and there'll be a new superintendent.
43:17Well, who will that be?
43:19Me.
43:22Well, you're going to be the next superintendent?
43:26Is that what you want?
43:31Nice office job.
43:34More money, civilized hours.
43:37No more getting shot at.
43:40I'd say that's quite appealing.
43:44And you can carry on working for Scotland Yard,
43:48as I will no longer be the inspector hiring you.
43:54I don't know what to say.
43:56How about...
43:59Alexander, you are the best thing that's ever happened to me.
44:02Certainly the most handsome, and I'm very lucky to have met you.
44:07A little long-winded, but...
44:10Broadly correct.
44:13So does that mean that willows will no longer be dismissed?
44:16It was the first thing I insisted upon.
44:19As well as another small matter.
44:21That the new clerical manager should be of my choosing.
44:25I think he'll approve of my choice.
44:29Good morning, Mrs. Paz.
44:44Good morning, Detective Willows.
44:46To my clever wife, on her new promotion.
45:03To Ivy.
45:04Ivy.
45:06Congratulations.
45:08Thank you, Barnabas.
45:11And thank you, Inspector Blake, for having such faith in me.
45:15It's called some more wine.
45:18Easy does it, my beloved.
45:20That'll be your third.
45:21And I intend on having a four.
45:23Ooh.
45:24I'll go and get some more bottles from the kitchen.
45:28Yes.
45:29Will you assist me in such a plea?
45:30Of course, Miss Gilders.
45:31It is delicious.
45:36Cheers.
45:38I told Sophia that we'd go somewhere nice for lunch.
45:48Monday this week, the three of us.
45:51You want to tell her about us?
45:52It's time.
45:54I already know.
45:57What do you already know?
46:00That Eliza's your special lady friend, and that you love her.
46:05Oh.
46:07Well, yes.
46:09Yes, that's precisely what I wanted to tell you.
46:13But can we still go to luncheon?
46:16Of course we can.
46:19But not tomorrow.
46:20I have a very busy day.
46:22I'm going to hire some new detectives.
46:24Maybe you should hire Sophia.
46:26She certainly has very impressive powers of deduction.
46:29You're silly, Papa.
46:32I know.
46:48Ready for the big day?
46:50Hmm.
46:51Now, remember to make clear that the positions entail working long hours.
46:56What if only two candidates turn up?
46:59Sometimes even on a Sunday.
47:00Well, only one turns up.
47:01And that we do not offer overtime.
47:04Well, no one turns up.
47:07Eliza, all will be well.
47:10Go on.
47:12Welcome, everyone.
47:19Please.
47:20Please.
47:21Do come in.
47:22Good morning.
47:23Hello.
