Short filmTranscript
00:00There's a nice little bistro south of the river.
00:04We could go there for dinner one night.
00:05I'd like that.
00:07We can discuss the Lewis case.
00:09Or perhaps we could talk about it now.
00:12Ah, no, it doesn't.
00:14What does that mean?
00:18I've given that investigation to Culpeppers.
00:20What? Why?
00:22Eliza.
00:23It doesn't matter.
00:24I shouldn't have said anything.
00:26It's your prerogative to hire whoever you wish.
00:30Would you like me to explain?
00:31No.
00:34Yes.
00:35I have to use other agencies as well as yours.
00:37Otherwise, I will be accused of favoritism.
00:40What is not favoritism?
00:41It's pragmatism.
00:42I would have solved that case in a heartbeat.
00:43There's also the matter of...
00:45Let's not discuss work in our personal time.
00:49The matter of what?
00:54Your expenses have been quite excessive on the last few cases.
00:57They were big investigations.
01:00I needed lots of resources.
01:02I'm just reminding you that budgets are tighter than ever.
01:04It's something to be aware of in the future.
01:09Perhaps we're right.
01:11We should not discuss work.
01:12Let's talk about something else.
01:13I have you, Mr. Potts.
01:20We'll be back soon.
01:27Sneaking out the back door in the dead of night.
01:29If you're 15 again.
01:35Are you brooding?
01:36No.
01:37You sure?
01:38I'm perfectly fine.
01:39See you tomorrow night?
01:46You will.
01:48Marvellous.
01:49Marvellous.
01:50Oh, I should say.
02:04I'll get it.
02:04Careful!
02:08Oh.
02:10Still nothing for Mr. Wormsley?
02:12I thought he'd come to his senses by now.
02:13I'd apologised.
02:14He's a stubborn man.
02:15Bit like someone else I know.
02:17Oh, he'll apologise soon enough.
02:19Then I will be back at work before you can say you could ever express him.
02:22That's a post-mortem condition.
02:23Perhaps something later.
02:24I don't want you to be late for work.
02:25I'll detain you not a moment longer, my Jewel.
02:28Oh.
02:29I am sorry, Barnabas.
02:30You know how I'd love to hear all about your medical knowledge.
02:33What do I always say?
02:35But should I ever write my memoirs, you would be the first to read them.
02:39Exactly.
02:41Right.
02:42That drawing room won't spring clean itself.
02:44There's nothing wrong with the drawing room.
02:46I'll be the judge of that.
02:47Come.
02:56Sir, do you have a moment?
02:58Only if you're quick.
03:00I've been given rather irksome orders from the superintendent.
03:03Still, we live to serve and all that.
03:06As I'm new here, I just wanted to check something, but it's a bit awkward.
03:11I don't really know how to put it.
03:12Concisely, I have a train to catch.
03:16Do you think it's all right for a copper to be romantically involved with a lady he works with?
03:19Why'd you ask?
03:27Maybe you have something to say, Detective Willis, and say it.
03:29I've been out for dinner with a lady from the clerical office.
03:36Twice, actually.
03:38Miss Isabel Summers.
03:39I'd like to take her out a third time, but I want to check with you first.
03:42I'm not her father, Detective Willis.
03:44What you do in your free time is your own business.
03:45Thank you, sir.
03:49Right.
03:50I'm off to Hertfordshire, where apparently the local police need my help.
03:53According to our esteemed superintendent, anyway.
03:56We really must stop him reading the newspapers.
03:59Newspapers, sir.
04:01Wonderful news, is it not?
04:06It's a theft, Clarence.
04:07My thoughts are with the victims.
04:09As are mine.
04:11Alongside other thoughts about how it could be monetized.
04:15Trafalgar Spring is, as you know, the most famous racehorse in the land.
04:18But are you aware of the scandal involving his owners?
04:24Enlighten me.
04:26The horse's owners, Lord and Lady Roberts, have recently been granted a divorce.
04:30There were accusations of infidelity on both sides.
04:33And things became increasingly bitter during the court case.
04:36They fought over everything.
04:37Property, money, heirlooms.
04:39Didn't she insist on keeping her title?
04:41Oh, you do read the gossip pages.
04:43Only the headlines.
04:44Hmm.
04:45Well, all the other matters were resolved.
04:47But the sticking point was their prize-winning racehorse, Trafalgar Spring.
04:52Both sides wished to keep him.
04:54Precisely.
04:54And Lady Roberts managed to prove that she had bought him as a foe with her own money.
04:58And the court found in her favor, the horse was being kept at Lord Roberts' stables.
05:04So the judge ordered him to give the animal back to his former wife.
05:07But before he could do so...
05:10Intriguing.
05:15Intriguing and potentially rewarding.
05:17She's offered £100 for his safe return.
05:19We must make an appointment with her immediately.
05:24I've already done so.
05:28She's an acquaintance of Mr. Nash from his horse racing days.
05:31We met her on several occasions.
05:32I'm not there, Clarence.
05:34Though we must proceed with caution.
05:36Lady Roberts blames her husband for the horse's theft.
05:38And that man is as well-connected as they come.
05:41I take it you know who his cousin is.
05:42As I was telling the police commissioner, I've been breeding horses for 30 years.
05:49And Trafalgar Spring is the cream of the crop.
05:54He practically glides across the turf.
05:56Have you seen him race?
05:57I haven't, son, no.
05:59What kind of policeman are you?
06:02I thought you lot were always at the track.
06:04You were telling me about the night of the theft.
06:06He was locked up in his usual stall.
06:11Chain and padlock.
06:12There was a hell of a storm that night.
06:16And Evans, my groundskeeper, didn't arrive until first light.
06:21Which is when he found.
06:24The chain was cut.
06:25The door was open.
06:27And Trafalgar Spring was gone.
06:32Of course, I fired him on the spot.
06:35No doubt in my mind that the man was in cahoots with her.
06:38Her?
06:39My former wife.
06:41Clearly she paid him to take the horse.
06:45Now she has it hidden somewhere, I'm sure.
06:48I understood Lady Roberts was awarded the animal as part of the divorce settlement.
06:51Why would she steal her own property?
06:54I'm appealing against that decision and my lawyers have assured me that I have every chance of winning.
07:00And she knows it.
07:02She paid off my groundskeeper.
07:06You can be sure.
07:08Either with money or other favours.
07:12I want the woman arrested.
07:15The local police have already spoken to Lady Roberts and taken statements from all your ground staff, including Mr. Evans, your groundskeeper.
07:21I'm only here to oversee things, not get directly involved.
07:23I am cousin to Her Majesty the Queen and godfather to the Prime Minister's son.
07:33Do I really have to explain to you the ways in which I could make your life difficult?
07:38Now give us your toad and find my bloody horse.
07:43We appreciate you seeing us at such short notice, Lady Roberts.
07:58Nash and sons.
08:00That was who you say you worked for?
08:03Yes, Mr. Patrick Nash.
08:04You met him several times at the Grand National, along with myself.
08:07Mr. Nash was something of a rogue, as I recall.
08:12Isn't he in prison now?
08:14He's served his time and since been released.
08:18Good news for his sons, I suppose.
08:21Not that he has any.
08:25Perhaps you could tell us a little more about Chifalgus Spring.
08:29I've followed his progress over the years. He's quite something.
08:32Indeed he is.
08:33I bought him as a colt, with money my father gave me before I was married.
08:39Trafalgus Spring far outshone any of the horses being trained by my former husband.
08:47Much to his annoyance.
08:49He truly is a magnificent creature.
08:52Yes, he won two classics in his first season, is that right?
08:54The Derby and the St. Ledger.
08:56What can you offer that Culpeppers, or Malone's, or any of the other firms who have come calling, cannot?
09:07Well, um, Lord Roberts is, to say the least, a very influential man.
09:14No doubt he'll use that influence against you.
09:16As a woman, I know...
09:17I don't give a damn about your struggles as a woman.
09:20What can you offer that the others cannot?
09:22Lady Roberts, your husband is appealing against the terms of the divorce.
09:31Should he succeed, he will reclaim everything that you have been awarded, not just the horse, but the houses and the money.
09:38There are, however, ways that one can hide one's assets, which perhaps I could show you.
09:45Patrick Nash was a crook, but a wealthy one.
09:55You find my horse.
09:59You hide my money.
10:03We look forward to working with you, Lady Roberts.
10:07Your tea, madam.
10:08If I had wanted tea, I would have rung the bell!
10:12Get out!
10:13Find out everything you can about that divorce settlement.
10:22It's your job to keep her happy.
10:23Well, happy might be a bit of a stretch, but I'll try my best.
10:26I'll see if I can find out if anyone had a grudge against either of them.
10:33Miss Scarlet?
10:35Inspector Blake?
10:37I'd, uh, ask what you're doing here, but I assume it's about a missing racehorse.
10:41You wish to require Lady Roberts as a client?
10:44You assume correctly, and I can happily report that we were successful.
10:47Beating who was it, Clarence?
10:49Malone's and Cole Peppers did the contract.
10:51Well, as I always say, they are no match for you.
10:53I always find actions speak louder than words.
10:59Good day, Inspector Blake.
11:00Miss Scarlet?
11:02Mr. Patrick Green?
11:05Have you fallen out with the inspector?
11:07Not at all.
11:08You just seem rather officious and to the point.
11:11Inspector Blake is a client of mine, and that's how I am with clients.
11:13No, you're not.
11:14Well, I shall be from now on.
11:31Barnabas?
11:32Oh, good evening, my jewel.
11:41Well, what do you think?
11:43About what?
11:44I've given the room a deep clean.
11:45I'm sure you'll agree it's transformed, particularly with the chair in a slightly different position.
11:52You spent all day cleaning?
11:54Well, I did drop by the post office to see if there was a problem with the mail.
11:58I thought that might be why I had not received a letter from Mr. Wormsley.
12:01And is there a problem?
12:03There is not, no.
12:04But no matter, I'm still to finish my to-do list.
12:07Next up, item 37.
12:10Rearrange Ivy's burgeoning recipe book.
12:13My recipe book?
12:14As I need to thank me, my jewel, it'll be a pleasure to rearrange it into strict alphabetical order.
12:29Item number 37.
12:30So, have you finished your brooding?
12:42Not quite.
12:45That was our first argument.
12:47It's not only an argument, it's more of a discussion.
12:50One that will be resolved when you say sorry.
12:55I didn't realise an apology was needed.
12:57Well, now you do.
12:58Then, I'm sorry.
13:04I promise we wouldn't talk about work during our personal time.
13:12However...
13:13What are my theories on the missing resource?
13:16If I were to suggest that Lord Roberts faked the theft in order to punish his former wife, what would you say?
13:22It's a possibility, but I'm keeping an open mind.
13:27Do you also think...
13:27Is this us not talking about work?
13:38I assume I can trust you not to go into my bag and look through my case notes.
13:42What a low opinion do you have of me?
13:43I'm afraid our evening's going to be cut short.
14:00Detective Willows has requested my assistance.
14:02I'm going to go next door and ask Mrs. Bambury to watch Sophia.
14:06Well, I'd be happy to say.
14:08Well, maybe sometime.
14:10Well, there's wine and it appears there's plenty to read.
14:15Well, if you're sure.
14:18I'll be back soon as I can.
14:19I'll be back soon as I can.
14:49I'll be back soon as I can.
15:19Good evening, sir.
15:20Willows.
15:21Sorry to disturb your evening, but I received an urgent call from Hertfordshire Constabulary.
15:28Looks like carriage tracks, sir.
15:31They believe this may be connected to the missing horse.
15:34The stable's only a mile or so away.
15:35When was the body discovered?
15:37Two hours ago by a passerby.
15:39The local police have identified him as Jack Lawson.
15:42He was a horse trainer.
15:43Who did he work for?
15:49Lady Roberts.
15:58Where is Papa?
15:59Oh, he had to go out.
16:02He asked me to look after you.
16:04Can't you sleep?
16:09How about I come and read to you for a bit?
16:11Let's see what we've got.
16:12Ah, yes.
16:15Through the looking glass.
16:17Why don't we learn more about Alice's adventures?
16:19Yes, please.
16:20Let's see what we're doing.
16:39Good morning.
17:07I apologise for not coming back sooner.
17:09The crime scene was more challenging than usual.
17:11Crime scene?
17:13I can't get into details.
17:15It was something of a conflict of interest.
17:18Is this connected to the missing resource?
17:23I'm not reminding Rita Alexander.
17:25Is that a yes or a no?
17:28What happened to our agreement not to discuss work during our private time?
17:32What, so you're not going to tell me?
17:34You see, you are a mind reader.
17:37More coffee?
17:47The body was identified as Jack Lawson.
17:50I understand he trained Trafalgar Spring.
17:52He used to.
17:54As soon as I filed for divorce, my husband banned Lawson from the estate.
18:01His body was found near the stables where Trafalgar Spring was taken, with what appeared to be carriage tracks and hoof prints.
18:07Do you think he was involved in the theft?
18:10I have to consider all possibilities, Lady Roberts.
18:12Do you have any idea of his recent movements?
18:17I did hear it is just a rumor, but I heard that my husband had inquired about his services.
18:32Clarence, I have some news.
18:36There's been a significant development on the hunt for Trafalgar Spring.
18:41Excellent.
18:41What is it?
18:43I'm not entirely sure.
18:45You may have to give me a little more information than that.
18:47Some sort of crime was committed last night.
18:51What kind of crime?
18:51I'm not entirely sure.
18:53And where was this?
18:55Well, I'm not entirely sure about that either.
18:57Forgive me, but what does make you entirely sure this is a significant development?
19:01I have it on good authority that Inspector Blake was called out to a crime scene last night,
19:07and that crime scene is connected to our case.
19:08But you don't know what happened or where it was?
19:12Precisely.
19:14Now, this is what we do know.
19:16The horse was stolen from Lord Roberts' stables.
19:19So really, I should go there, take a look around.
19:22But I need to find a way to visit undetected.
19:25How about you?
19:27Anything of interest?
19:28Well, I've been wading through Lady Roberts' finances, which are a model, to say the least.
19:33Particularly the hiring and firing of domestic staff.
19:36It seems that both she and Lord Roberts have been shedding servants at a rate of knots,
19:40due to the scandal of the divorce.
19:43Is Lord Roberts still hiring?
19:45I believe so. Why?
19:55Miss Reynolds?
19:57Yes.
19:57Miss Edith Berry has arrived.
20:00Send her in.
20:01And fetch the boys, please.
20:07Miss Berry.
20:08Pleasure to meet you.
20:09I'm Miss Alice Reynolds, the housekeeper. Please, take a seat.
20:14Thank you for seeing me at such hot notice.
20:17When I landed the vacancy for a nanny, my heart so odd.
20:20I was most keen to see you before the position was filled.
20:22Have you had much experience with children?
20:27I've worked for three wonderful families. I adore children.
20:33Well, the previous nanny left rather abruptly.
20:36The unpleasantness with Lord and Lady Roberts hangs heavy over us all.
20:41The Roberts have two sons, Sebastian and Lionel.
20:44I have other matters to attend to, but perhaps you would like to spend some time with the boys.
20:50See how you get on.
20:53There's nothing I would enjoy more.
20:54Sebastian, Lionel, this is Miss Berry. She will be looking after you this afternoon.
21:02Best behavior, please.
21:09Good afternoon, boys.
21:12Now, I have two suggestions as to how we spend our time together.
21:16Suggestion one, a rigorous test of Latin and algebra.
21:22Suggestion two, a game where I ask you questions, and if you answer correctly, then I reward you with sweets.
21:27Yes.
21:28The game it is.
21:29Excellent. Now, first question.
21:33Who knows where the stables are?
21:41Afternoon, Fred.
21:42Hello, I am.
21:43Barnabas!
21:44What are you doing here?
21:47I come with the most wonderful news, my jewel.
21:49Something remarkable has happened.
21:50Mr Worms, he has apologized to giving you your job back.
21:53Not as yet, no. I'm referring to this.
21:56My memoirs.
21:56Tales of a mortuary clerk by Barnabas Potts.
22:02Oh, it was slow going at first, but as soon as the dam of creativity burst open, then words just
22:08cascaded from my mind like water from a dam that, as I say, burst open.
22:13You've written your memoirs?
22:16Oh, you're not always telling me what fascinating tales I possess.
22:19Well, now, I've put them on the page for all to read.
22:23It had begun to anyway.
22:24This is just the first chapter.
22:26Spring 1857.
22:28I would welcome any thoughts or suggestions you may have.
22:31And this is just one chapter?
22:33Indeed.
22:34I've left no stone unturned in my effort to delight the reader.
22:39Every detail, no matter how small is there on the page.
22:42Well, I must confess, I rather tend to be a crab in the forearm.
22:45Well, we'll have to get you a typewriter to keep this up.
22:48Well, I'll give you another moment longer.
22:51We'll talk again at home.
22:52Oh, I won't be home till late.
22:54I have to cover past the night shift.
22:55Ah, no matter.
22:59I will keep myself busy writing the next instrument.
23:02Autumn, 1857.
23:25Miss Berry?
23:50What on earth are you doing in here?
23:53And where are the boys?
23:55Hiding.
23:57We're playing hide and seek.
23:59Well, go and find them immediately.
24:02They should never be left alone.
24:05Ever.
24:09I take it you'll hear about Lawson.
24:12I heard his body was found last night.
24:14How well did you know, Mr. Lawson?
24:16Hardly at all.
24:18He worked for her.
24:19I had my own man.
24:22Is it right you banned Lawson from your stables
24:23when the divorce proceedings began?
24:25Didn't trust him.
24:26And for the record, I'm quite sure that he and my former wife were more than just trainer and owner.
24:35You're suggesting an affair?
24:37There are so many rumors about her, anything is possible.
24:41I spoke to Lady Robertson.
24:42She suggested that you'd offered Lawson his job back.
24:45And you believed her?
24:46For God's sake, man, are you a fool or just incompetent?
24:55Look, who knows what happened to Lawson?
24:59But you can bet that she was involved somehow, both in his death and the theft of my horse.
25:06That woman has a corrupted soul.
25:11And she will stop at nothing.
25:13What the devil?
25:14Give me...
25:15Give me...
25:19Give me back my...
25:20Stop this and watch!
25:24Who the hell are you?
25:25My name's Miss Berrier.
25:30Inspector Blake.
25:32You know this woman.
25:35I can explain.
25:36What will Lord Roberts do next?
25:45He will complain that I haven't arrested you.
25:47He will complain that I haven't arrested his wife.
25:49He will complain that I haven't found the horse.
25:52In summary, he will complain a great deal and make my life incredibly difficult.
25:55Rather as you do.
25:58I know we agree not to discuss work, but if we had, situations like this afternoon might have been avoided.
26:04Firstly, do not blame me for what happened.
26:06Secondly, do not ask me to share confidential information when your client is a suspect in the case.
26:11Is there a thirdly?
26:14Possibly.
26:16I'm still thinking.
26:19I have a proposal.
26:20I will consider terminating my contract with Lady Roberts if you tell me everything you know about the case.
26:25But I reserve the right to make that decision once I've heard your conclusions.
26:29How does that sound?
26:30Unacceptable.
26:33Alexander, I appreciate this is difficult.
26:34And if I was in your position, I would keep my cards close to my chest too.
26:37Not that I'd ever be in your position since I'm a woman.
26:41Thirdly, do not try and extract information out of me using guilt.
26:44I resent that suggestion.
26:46It's not a suggestion, it's an accusation.
26:50Just so you know, this goes both ways.
26:53Perhaps I have information that will be interesting to you.
26:55You don't.
26:59Blake!
27:01Superintendent.
27:03Yes, sir.
27:03All you are saying are words that make no sense.
27:09You are not explaining it clearly.
27:11Stop waffling, man.
27:12Be concise.
27:13This is what I'm doing my best, but as I have said, your financial affairs are quite challenging.
27:17Can you protect my money or not?
27:20Yes, I can.
27:20I can.
27:21But I just need a little more time to fully understand your finances.
27:24What is that to understand?
27:26I thought you were an accountant.
27:28Lady Roberts, you have numerous bank accounts and a bewildering array of investments,
27:33none of which are providing any kind of return, by the way.
27:35There are also many payments with no detailed reference.
27:39For instance, 50 pounds to a Mr. M. Butterworth.
27:44He's my upholsterer.
27:47I have had to set up an entirely new household.
27:51Would you have me go to the workhouse?
27:53Upholsterer.
27:55Oh, Lady Roberts.
27:57No, don't mind me.
28:01Um, a hundred and twenty pounds to a Mrs. Ruddy?
28:06She runs a spa in Bath.
28:09I was stricken with melancholy after the divorce.
28:13I needed to take the waters.
28:15Yes, of course.
28:18But a whopping two hundred and fifty pounds to a Mr. Daniel O'Dwyer?
28:22He is an old acquaintance who runs a charity for retired racehorses.
28:29I will not apologize for having a kind heart, and I do not appreciate being questioned in this way.
28:35No, but it's just that if I am going to help, I do need to go through every detail of your finance.
28:39And you, what have you found out about my missing horse?
28:43What on earth is that?
28:46Lady Roberts?
28:59If you want your horse back, pay three hundred pounds into locker three-three-two at Kings Court station at eight o'clock tomorrow night.
29:09Tell the police and the animal dies.
29:11Oh!
29:14It was addressed to you, Lady Roberts.
29:17Who else knew that you were here?
29:19I told no one.
29:21My driver dropped me two streets away.
29:23I don't want anyone knowing my business.
29:27Pay them.
29:29I will give you the money.
29:32Well, yes, but we must let the police know.
29:34No, I don't want anything more to do with this whole damn business.
29:41Do as they say.
29:43Pay them the ransom.
29:48And when my horse is returned, you will receive one hundred pounds.
29:52Well, that's that, then.
30:04Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
30:06Extortion with the threat of violence is a serious crime, and Inspector Blake is under pressure to capture those responsible.
30:12If we say nothing, they'll get away.
30:14Well, that is his problem, not ours. We have a business to run.
30:17There are good reasons to involve him.
30:19There are many reasons not to. One hundred pounds worth, to be precise, unless I'm missing something.
30:26You're acting in the most peculiar manner. Something is amiss.
30:28I cannot cross Inspector Blake, and that's fine.
30:30But why?
30:31Because I can't.
30:32Eliza, what has changed?
30:33Everything!
30:38You've not fallen out with Inspector Blake?
30:43You've fallen in with him.
30:45It all makes sense now.
30:47Have you lost your mind?
30:50Think of the damage to your reputation.
30:52Let's mention the conflict of interest in Scotland Yard.
30:54And what about clients?
30:56They will question where your loyalties are.
30:58And what if things do not end well between the two of you?
31:00We've lost our main source of revenue.
31:02I am aware of all that.
31:04And yet still you have done it.
31:07If our business fails, Eliza, I have nothing.
31:12Things were finally smooth sailing, but you are just like Mr. Nurse.
31:17Intent on always rocking the damn boat!
31:31Barnabas?
31:32Barnabas?
31:34I'm home!
31:39Barnabas?
31:44Barnabas?
31:52Barnabas?
31:54Barnabas?
32:00Barnabas?
32:11Oh, you gave me a fright.
32:38Sorry, I was miles away.
32:41Everything all right?
32:43Yes.
32:48No.
32:53I've never seen Clarence so upset.
32:56Clarence is just doing his job.
32:58I understand his concerns.
33:00But this relationship with Inspector Blake is a long time coming.
33:04I've never known you so happy.
33:07I am happy.
33:09I just don't want everything I've worked for to be for nothing.
33:12Do you want my advice?
33:14Does it start with when you were a little girl?
33:18If you had a case that in solving would mean harm to me and my reputation, what would you do?
33:25Well, there's no dilemma.
33:27You would come first.
33:28Because you care about me.
33:29Of course.
33:30And there's your answer.
33:32I'll take the blackmail letters to Inspector Blake in the morning.
33:39You're always right.
33:40Could you please tell my husband that?
33:45Is that the play?
33:46Good morning, Miss Scarlet.
33:47Good morning, Miss Scarlet.
33:48Detective Willows.
33:49I'm waiting on Inspector Blake.
33:50Good morning, Miss Scarlet.
33:52Detective Willows.
33:53I'm waiting on Inspector Blake.
33:54Any idea where he is?
33:55He was in with the superintendent first thing.
33:56The meeting must have run over.
33:57Oh, that never bodes well.
33:59Hmm.
34:00You're right.
34:01You're right.
34:02How are you?
34:03You're right.
34:04Yeah.
34:05You're right.
34:06You're right.
34:07Good morning, Miss Scarlet.
34:08Detective Willows.
34:09I'm waiting on Inspector Blake.
34:10Any idea where he is?
34:11He was in with the superintendent first thing.
34:12The meeting must have run over.
34:13Oh, that never bodes well.
34:14Hmm.
34:15No.
34:16Oh, you're right.
34:17You're right.
34:18Oh, you're right.
34:19You're right.
34:20You're right.
34:21Oh, you're right.
34:22You're right.
34:23Oh, you're right.
34:24Would you like me to pass on a message?
34:28The autopsy report he requested finally came through. I'll leave on his desk.
34:32I'll let him know.
34:34David Scott.
34:54Daniel O'Dwyer.
35:10Good morning, sir.
35:11That's far from good. I've just been in with a super.
35:14More complaints from Lord Roberts?
35:15Well, he's consistent. I'll give him that.
35:17But, still early, so let's be optimistic and hope for a better day ahead.
35:21Well, I might be able to help you with that, sir.
35:23The coroner's report for Jack Lawson came through, put it on your desk.
35:26What was the death?
35:28Internal bleeding caused by a ruptured liver.
35:30There was also severe bruising on the abdomen, in which the coroner had a theory.
35:33He said that he'd seen that before amongst stable hands and jockeys.
35:36Kick from a horse?
35:38Exactly, sir.
35:40Well, it was late at night on a dark forest lane.
35:44It could have been an accident transferring the animal from one horse box to another.
35:48I've looked into this Jack Lawson.
35:51I couldn't find anything on him in Hertfordshire where he lived, but I did find an old arrest sheet here in the records room.
35:56Lawson was Irish.
35:57He came to London ten years ago, but he had a different name then.
36:00Daniel O'Dwyer.
36:03He left Ireland with a mountain of unpaid debts and a reputation for race fixing.
36:08So when he arrived in London, he called himself Jack Lawson as a fresh start.
36:13Good work.
36:14Well done.
36:15You say you left the files on my desk?
36:17I left it right there with Miss Scarlet.
36:20Miss Scarlet?
36:21Miss Scarlet was here.
36:22Miss Scarlet was here.
36:23Miss Scarlet was here.
36:25Miss Scarlet was here.
36:26Miss Scarlet.
36:27Miss Scarlet!
36:28Miss Scarlet.
36:29Oh, there you are.
36:41Looking everywhere for you.
36:42Oh, something I wanted to say, and I needed time to think.
36:46There's no time for thinking, Clarence.
36:47I have news on the case.
36:48No, no, please let me finish.
36:51Very well.
36:54I'm sorry for what I said last night.
36:57I was just frustrated.
36:59Our business means an awful lot to me.
37:04Apart from Mother, that's all I have.
37:06And you mean an awful lot to me, too.
37:09You are a good friend, Eliza.
37:12It's surprising how few friends I was left with once I had a criminal record.
37:18Speaking of criminal records...
37:19But my first thought should have been your happiness.
37:23You of all people deserve to be happy.
37:25If Inspector Blank makes you happy, then that is what is most important.
37:33That means a great deal.
37:37Have you finished?
37:40I have.
37:42What did you want to tell me?
37:43So this Daniel O'Dwyer that Lady Roberts made payments to was an ex-convict?
37:53Contrary to what you told us, he didn't run a charity for retired resources.
37:57He was wanted in Ireland for unpaid debts.
38:00Changed his name to Jack Lawson to escape arrest.
38:02And wound up dead?
38:03That was the crime scene that Inspector Blank attended the other night.
38:07Well, no wonder she didn't want the police involved in the kidnapping.
38:10I think she's in this up to her neck.
38:11But how do you know all this?
38:15You stole a file from Inspector Blank's office?
38:18I temporarily borrowed it.
38:21My intention was to tell Inspector Blank about the ransom note, but circumstances have changed,
38:25which they are going to do.
38:26As long as the horse is found and the thief is brought to justice, that's all I care about.
38:30And that and the confidential file you stole from his desk.
38:32I'll worry about that later.
38:34We have a horse to find first.
38:35We may not receive the fee from Lady Roberts, but the publicity will be invaluable.
38:41The ransom note says that the bag drop will be at 8 o'clock tonight, which gives us 7 hours until then.
38:46How do we find the horse?
38:47I've been studying the ransom note.
38:50Removing the letters and rearranging them, and it turns out that the words were cut from the same newspaper.
38:55Kingsbury Herald?
38:57Yes, it's a local newspaper sold in only two postal districts in northwest London.
39:00I had bet money that the horse has been kept in that area.
39:04We need a map.
39:06One that shows buildings on it.
39:09Buildings big enough to hide a horse?
39:12Make a detective review here, Clarence.
39:14Good afternoon, my Jewel.
39:32You really should have woken me this morning.
39:34Well, I didn't want to disturb you.
39:35You look so worn out.
39:37I cannot dispute the fact that all this writing has left me feeling somewhat fatigued.
39:40Not to mention played havoc with my Lexal Digitorum Profundus.
39:45Oh, never mind my ailments.
39:50What did you think of my first chapter?
39:53I very much enjoyed it.
39:55But perhaps it might benefit from a little trim here and there.
39:59Trim?
40:00It is rather long.
40:02There's a lot of detail about the management of the mortuary budget.
40:05Oh, perhaps I could be a bit more economical.
40:08It might go some way to ease my current malady to.
40:13Absolutely, the rest from the writing might be the best thing.
40:15In the meantime, you could get your old job back
40:17by apologising to Mr. Wormsleeve rather than waiting on him.
40:21You want me to give up the writing?
40:23I know the idea of apologising goes against your principles, but...
40:26You want me to give up the writing?
40:29Parlebus, you're a wonderful writer.
40:34But these twinges can start small, and before you know it, you have an acute condition.
40:39Look at my mother's gout.
40:46Perhaps you are right, my Jewel.
40:48I know just what to do.
40:56Mrs. Potts, have you seen Miss Scarlet?
40:58Not today, no.
41:00Well, I need to speak to her.
41:01I've been to the office, the house.
41:03She's not there.
41:04What has that girl gone and done now?
41:05If you see her, would you be kind enough to direct her to my office?
41:07Immediately.
41:08Yes, Inspector, of course.
41:10Sir?
41:10Yes?
41:11Miss Scarlet.
41:12Where is she?
41:13Where is she?
41:13Where is she?
41:18Gentlemen of the press, thank you for coming so expeditiously.
41:27I am Eliza Scarlet, private investigator.
41:31As you can see, I have found Trafalgar Spring, the award-winning resource that all London has
41:36been searching for.
41:37Miss Scarlet, would you confirm where and where the horse was located?
41:40What is her target, Miss Scarlet?
41:42I did not do this alone, however, but alongside the dedicated Inspector Alexander Blake of Scotland
41:47Yard.
41:48Inspector Blake, how long have you and Miss Scarlet been working together?
41:51Inspector Blake.
41:51Never was there a more diligent, talented officer.
41:55Inspector Blake, do you have any suspects in custody at this time?
41:58What do you mean suspects?
42:00Inspector Blake, where did you find the horse?
42:02Inspector Blake, what was the meat?
42:03You mean Miss Scarlet?
42:03How did this disappear?
42:04It's financially bad.
42:05Inspector Blake, can you give us any more information about the...
42:08Neither Miss Scarlet or myself will be giving any further comment at this time, as the investigation
42:13is still ongoing.
42:14How long have you equipped our morning heralders in heaven?
42:17Thank you, James.
42:17That's enough for today.
42:19On your way.
42:20Name your address as a thief.
42:22Some driver of Jack Lawson paid to transport the horse.
42:26But it wasn't just Lawson.
42:28He had help.
42:30Inside help.
42:31If anyone stole that horse, it was her.
42:39The man is a liar.
42:41He would kill his own mother if it meant getting his hands on my horse.
42:45How dare you speak of my mother, who, by the way, never liked you.
42:50I'm not suggesting that you yourself stole the horse.
42:52We know it was Jack Lawson.
42:55Real name Daniel O'Dwyer.
42:58A horse trainer with a criminal past.
43:01Contrary to what you told me, you didn't donate money to O'Dwyer's racehorse charity.
43:05But rather, you paid him to steal Trafalgar Spring.
43:07No court in the land will let you have the horse now.
43:15And on further delving into O'Dwyer's accounts, we found that you, Lord Roberts, had sold him a property in London for a ridiculously low price just last month.
43:24Despite saying you've had no dealings with him.
43:26I told you so.
43:29Lies trip off his tongue like the serpent he is.
43:33I would wager that you both had some arrangement with Daniel O'Dwyer.
43:37But he betrayed both of you.
43:40And intended on selling to a breeder who had put the horse out to stud on the black market.
43:45And what of the man who held my horse to ransom?
43:49It is he who should be in custody, not I.
43:52The man in question has been arrested.
43:54He was hired by O'Dwyer to transport the horse to a breeder.
43:59When the horse kicked out at O'Dwyer, he panicked, left O'Dwyer fatally injured and drove off with Trafalgar Spring.
44:05Luckily for us, he got greedy and decided to keep the horse himself and ransom it.
44:13Extortion and fraud are extremely serious offences.
44:19However, I'm inclined to be generous.
44:21To press no charges, speak no more about it.
44:25But I cannot speak for my colleague here, who is very well connected with the press.
44:30I am indeed, Inspector Blake.
44:32And what a story it would make.
44:35However, I'm sure Miss Carder can be persuaded to keep this whole debacle quiet.
44:39I believe that she, like me, has had enough of the pair of you.
44:44What do you suggest?
44:45Drop the appeal case.
44:54And allow Lady Roberts to keep her horse.
44:57And you will pay Miss Scarlet her fee.
45:01Her full fee.
45:03With a bonus for her continued silence.
45:05I trust this is an end to the matter?
45:18Barnabas!
45:24I'm home!
45:33Barnabas?
45:34One included ounce of...
45:41What a nice thing you're doing.
45:43Writing, my child.
45:45When I left you earlier, I went straight to the stationers on Cockborn Lane, Quill and Quandary.
45:50They had a typewriter there on sale for half the usual price.
45:54Oh!
45:55As you said, so much easier than writing by hand.
45:59But I thought you were going to get your old job back at the mortuary.
46:01Why would I do that when you yourself said I was a wonderful writer?
46:05One fluid ounce of...
46:11I...
46:12O...
46:13In!
46:14You know you could have told me about the ransom.
46:28Well, now have you take away my moment in the sun?
46:30I've already had three offers of work from that publicity.
46:33Besides, I was keeping to your rule of not discussing work.
46:35I believe it was our rule.
46:36And one we should stick to.
46:40Agreed.
46:43It's nice going out together.
46:45I don't know this area very well.
46:48It's far enough out of the way to enjoy some privacy.
46:51And if anyone should recognise us, the tables are almost big enough to hide under.
46:54Clarence knows about us.
46:59He guessed.
47:02Well, it's only a matter of time before everyone finds out.
47:06So, let's enjoy the quiet before the storm.
47:08May I?
47:10Did you hear about that robbery that went wrong in Blackfriars?
47:19No.
47:21Does that breach our rule?
47:23Oh.
47:24It does a little, yes.
47:29What if we amend the rule?
47:34We're allowed to discuss work that doesn't directly concern us.
47:38I'm about to take over the case.
47:40I tell with it.
47:44When I say the burglary went wrong, I mean it went spectacularly wrong.
47:48Do you tell?
47:49So, it all started.
47:51It was bizarre.
47:52I know.
