00:00Come on Jack, down here, down here Jack!
00:30Down here, down here, down here, down here, down here!
01:00Down here, down here, down here, down here!
01:10Down here, down here, down here!
01:32There you are.
01:46Respectably, I can explain.
01:48Which part?
01:50Drugging a dozen men or stealing a priceless artifact?
01:53It was eight men, and I didn't steal anything.
01:56I returned it to the British Museum for a fee, I admit,
01:59but as soon as I'd done so, I immediately informed Scotland Yard's a new hunt done.
02:03You could have killed one, if not all of them.
02:04A little old and never hurt anyone, expectably.
02:09Perhaps we should continue this conversation inside.
02:14Perhaps I should have forewarned you of my plan.
02:18I'm sorry, do you forgive me?
02:20No, not remotely.
02:23We need to be discreet.
02:25I'll bet it's less than two other.
02:29We need to be careful.
02:31You can't simply kiss me in the middle of my hallway, Alexander.
02:34You didn't seem to mind.
02:38I just want to stay in this bubble forever.
02:41No one else knowing or interfering.
02:44Things are perfect as they are.
02:47Mostly, yes.
02:49What do you mean, mostly?
02:52Eliza, I have offered you three cases in the past fortnight,
02:54all of which you've turned down.
02:55I've been extremely busy.
02:59How does Clarence feel about you turning down work?
03:01He feels the pain every bit as much as I do.
03:05You didn't tell him, did you?
03:11The truth is, I'm worried what it would be like working together now.
03:14As do I.
03:15But there's only one way to find out.
03:17Yes, but I've never been in this situation before.
03:19I don't want anything to ruin it.
03:25Eliza!
03:28I suspect you're awake.
03:30And nice to see you again.
03:32It's possible.
03:33I see more of you here than I do at work.
03:36What do you want for dinner?
03:38Anything's fine.
03:39What's wrong?
03:43Nothing.
03:43You're usually fussy about what you have for dinner.
03:49I should be getting back.
03:51Yes.
03:51Thank you for coming, Inspector Blake.
03:53I'll be sure to speak to the accounts department about my invoice.
03:56Be sure that you do, Miss Garnett.
03:58I'll see you out, Inspector Blake.
04:01This spot.
04:03Inspector Blake.
04:04I know that girl inside out.
04:15And I've never seen her so happy.
04:17And I've a sneaky inkling as to why.
04:21Don't go asking me to share my inklings with you, Barnabas.
04:23We both know what you like with secrets.
04:28Barnabas?
04:29You've only touched your bacon.
04:30I cannot deny I'm in a little trouble to my dear.
04:39Why?
04:40What's happened?
04:44As you know, I like to keep all the mortuaries under my charge, spick and span.
04:50However, recently, chaos has begun to seep through the cracks.
04:54Cracks caused, I'm sorry to say, by our Chief Coroner.
04:58Mr Wormsley.
04:59He's become a shadow of his former self.
05:03He now arrives at work late.
05:04He leaves early.
05:05His administration has become woeful indeed.
05:09And on more than one occasion, I have noticed the potent aroma of whiskey about him.
05:13Oh, you must speak to him.
05:14It's not fair to lay extra work at your door.
05:17It's a strict chain of command.
05:18One must respect my beloved.
05:21If everyone went around saying all that was on their minds, there would be...
05:23Panicky?
05:25Precisely.
05:26Then, all I can offer is a kiss.
05:33Might that soothe your furrow brow?
05:37Yes.
05:38Yes, my dear, yes.
05:39That may have evade so my mind is comfort.
05:42All right.
05:44See you later.
05:44Excuse me, I can't seem to find the clerical office.
06:13I think it's at the end of the corridor.
06:16You think?
06:17I've only been here once before.
06:18It's my first day.
06:19Really?
06:20Mine too.
06:21End of the corridor, you say?
06:23On the right, I think.
06:25I'll give it a try.
06:27Oh.
06:28Good luck.
06:30You too.
06:30Well, when is Mr. Wormsley due in?
06:41Very well.
06:41Please let him know that we're still waiting on the post-mortem from yesterday.
06:45Come.
06:47Detective Willow, supportive producer.
06:49Yes, I'm well aware who you are, Detective Willow.
06:51Please.
06:51You, uh, seem to have something on your lapel.
07:02I do apologise, sir.
07:04Teeth and baby at home.
07:06I didn't realise you were married.
07:08It's complicated, sir.
07:09So, given this is your first day, normally I'd give you time to find your feet, but I'm
07:15afraid we're still a couple of men short.
07:17I think you met Detective Fitzroy when he came in for your interview.
07:19Yes, sir.
07:20Well, he's now left to take the role of senior detective in the Birmingham force, and Detective
07:24Phelps is...
07:25It's at the City of London Police, sir.
07:27Yeah, I have some mates there.
07:29What are they saying about him?
07:31He's doing very well, sir.
07:33You can speak freely.
07:39He's a bit of a character, is what I hear, sir.
07:42Indeed he is.
07:44So, are you ready to get to work?
07:46Yes, sir.
07:46Very much so.
07:48And thank you again for giving me the job.
07:51I won't let you down.
07:53Glad to hear it.
07:55Two dead bodies for our immediate attention.
07:57One in a townhouse in Mayfair, the other in a cold, drafty alleyway in Kilburn.
08:01If you want to make a good impression on your first day, I would take.
08:06The draft's the alleyway in Kilburn, sir.
08:09I think you and I are going to get along just fine.
08:18It's not that business has dried up completely, but things have been rather quiet, particularly
08:21from Scotland Yard.
08:24Yeah, things will pick up, Clarence.
08:26They always do.
08:28Yes, but we haven't had a single case from Scotland Yard for some time, though.
08:31Well, it has been unseasonably cold, which, as you know, does have an effect on the crime
08:35levels.
08:37Usually, in such lean times, you'd be accusing Scotland Yard of employing an alternative agency.
08:42Usually, you'd be on your feet and out the door to talk to the inspector.
08:46Usually...
08:46What if he's not saying usually?
08:49This is about you and Inspector Blake, isn't it?
08:54I have no idea what you mean.
08:56Oh, I think you do.
08:57You have offended him in some way, and he's refusing to employ you.
09:06Does your powers of deduction still need honing, Clarence?
09:09I can assure you, Inspector Blake and I are on the best of terms, professionally speaking.
09:13Now, can you please drop that odd-looking frown?
09:21It's very disconcerting.
09:32She answered a word, sir.
09:33I'm Inspector Blake from Scotland Yard.
09:38I believe it was you who found the body.
09:46Can you tell me your name?
09:52Take her back to the yard.
09:53Get her a cup of tea.
09:58Yes, sir.
10:01Come on, now.
10:16No evidence of a robbery?
10:23No sign of a struggle.
10:37Potassium bromide.
10:43Victims well-dressed.
10:44There's no obvious signs of attack.
10:49Doesn't look like a theft.
10:50She's still got her purse.
10:53Two bottles of potassium bromide.
11:14Two dead women.
11:17Coincidence, sir?
11:21Tell me about your lady.
11:23Her name was Elizabeth Roper.
11:28Passerby said that she was having some sort of fit before she died.
11:31Convulsions and such.
11:33I've asked the uniform to do house-to-house inquiries.
11:36I also have a potential witness.
11:38A young woman.
11:39She seems traumatised by whatever she saw.
11:41Hasn't said a word, not even her name.
11:44When I was at Bow Street,
11:46if we had a female witness who was in shock,
11:48we used to ask one of the secretaries to sit with her for a bit.
11:50Do you have any ladies you could ask?
12:01An urgent request from Scotland Yard?
12:04That's welcome news indeed.
12:08Shall I get you a can?
12:10Not yet.
12:10I'm thinking.
12:13May I point out that you've been reading the same telegram for almost ten minutes now?
12:17What if another case comes in?
12:20Something bigger, more lucrative?
12:22I don't understand.
12:24Well, it's a fairly simple concept.
12:26I don't understand because that's literally never bothered you before.
12:29Am I missing something?
12:34Fine.
12:35Fine.
12:36I'll go.
12:36Miss Scarlet.
12:44Inspector Blake.
12:47Where is she?
12:57Would you like a cup of tea?
12:59Coffee?
12:59I know where they keep the whiskey, if that helps.
13:10There's no rush.
13:12Take your time.
13:14As I said, my name's Miss Scarlet, but you can call me Eliza.
13:19And you are?
13:20My name's Sarah Mason.
13:27She arrived at the house of the deceased Miss Quail at 25 past 8 this morning.
13:31The door was ajar, and when no one answered, she ended up finding Miss Quail collapsed on the floor.
13:35What was her reason for going to Miss Quail's home?
13:37Miss Mason is a secretary to a doctor on Harley Street.
13:40At, uh...
13:42Isambard Cole.
13:44He was treating the deceased for a form of neuroses.
13:46He sent Miss Mason to check on her when she failed to attend an appointment last evening.
13:50That's most comprehensive.
13:52Thank you, Miss Scarlet.
13:53I believe she's now ready to make a full statement.
13:56I'll send my invoice to the accounts to prompt.
13:58You're leaving.
14:01You asked me to speak to your witness, and I have.
14:04I'm sure you can take it from here.
14:07No...
14:08persuasion or...
14:09manipulation to get me to hire you on the rest of the case?
14:11This is a new dawn indeed, and one I am ill-prepared for.
14:17I'm trying to make the best of a difficult situation, Alexander.
14:20Believe me, it's not easy turning down work.
14:24Eliza.
14:24I don't want people to know about us either.
14:38Not yet, anyway.
14:40The fact is,
14:42you are an excellent detective,
14:44and I need your help.
14:46Are you trying to charm me?
14:49Yes.
14:50Is it working?
14:51Come!
14:52Detective Willows, this is Miss Scarlet.
14:56Hello, she is, sir.
14:57It's nice to meet you, Miss Scarlet.
14:58And you?
14:59I saw you in court once.
15:00You were giving evidence at the Jacobson trial.
15:02You kept interrupting the judge, and you got fined.
15:05Twice.
15:06Only twice.
15:09You have some information on your poisoning?
15:11I do, sir.
15:12The deceased, Mrs. Roper,
15:13she was under the care of a doctor at Harley Street.
15:16He specialises in treating melancholia.
15:19The doctor is in bad cold, by any chance.
15:22The very same.
15:24So both women would prescribe potassium bromide by the same doctor?
15:27Yeah, it would seem that way.
15:29We need to speak to this doctor and contact the pharmacy that supplies him with the drugs.
15:33There's also the post-mortem of the two women that need to be expedited.
15:36Thank you, Miss Scarlet.
15:38I'm quite aware of what the next step should be.
15:39Do what she said.
15:47Yes, sir.
15:52Well, as you said, I can take it from here.
15:54So thank you again for coming in.
15:59Unless you do want to help with the investigation.
16:01No, fine, thank you.
16:12So, we'll say that I'm here because I interviewed the secretary and I've worked for Scotland Yard for many years, even before you arrived, in fact.
16:30So be sure to mention that.
16:32You're all right?
16:32Yes, I'm fine.
16:35It's just our first professional engagement since...
16:38Well, you know, I just want everything to go smoothly.
16:41As do I.
16:42Off to you.
16:43No, Alexander, when we're working together, it's best that you treat me as you would one of your men.
16:48You can be polite in our private time.
16:51Perhaps you could write a list of what I'm meant to do and when.
17:09Two of my patients found dead.
17:12Mrs. Roper collapsed in the street and Miss Quayle was found at home by your secretary.
17:17By Miss Mason.
17:19The poor creature suffers from a nervous disposition.
17:22She will be most traumatized.
17:23Well, yes, that's why I interviewed her.
17:26Because as a woman, Inspector Blake thought it might help.
17:29Since Miss Mason is also a woman.
17:35Lady Detective.
17:37How curious.
17:38Do you often work together?
17:40I have a long-standing relationship, working relationship with Scotland Yard, not just Inspector Blake, so...
17:45But that's why I'm here.
17:49Both of the deceased were found with the same medication.
17:53Potassium bromide.
17:55Was it you who prescribed that?
17:57To control the melancholia from which they both suffered.
18:00They were also undergoing a course of electrotherapy.
18:03I used the updated adaptation of the pulver markers technique.
18:05Oh.
18:06Yes, I've read about this.
18:09Patients are given electrical currents that pass through the body to the brain.
18:12It's...
18:12It's a calm the mind of agitation.
18:16All right, I told you about this.
18:19At your office.
18:21At Scotland Yard.
18:21Yes, Miss Garnett.
18:24Thank you for reminding me.
18:27Particularly of the location of said conversation.
18:34Elizabeth Roper was seen to have some kind of convulsion before she died.
18:38Could this be linked to the treatment?
18:40Mild convulsions only occur whilst the electric current is being administered.
18:45As for the potassium bromide, it is possible, I suppose, but it would be an extreme and unusual side effect.
18:54Could someone have tampered with the medication?
18:55Unlikely.
18:56I receive it sealed from the pharmaceutical supplier.
18:59I then administer the dosage myself.
19:03We will need a list of all other patients prescribed with potassium bromide.
19:07Yes, of course.
19:09It may not be a factor, but until we see the post-mortem, we cannot be sure.
19:12Yes.
19:13You mentioned that your secretary, Miss Mason, suffers from a nervous condition.
19:17Is she also on this medication?
19:20Yes, she is.
19:21I'll add her to the list.
19:26I'll speak to Miss Mason whilst you and your men track down the other patients.
19:33What?
19:34You were so intent on keeping our relationship secret that you're in danger of broadcasting the very thing you're trying to conceal.
19:40Yes, perhaps I am being a little overly cautious.
19:43My nerves were a little freed in there.
19:45Really? I had no idea.
19:47I'll go and visit Miss Mason.
19:49Would you like a lift?
19:50No, no, no.
19:52The less we're seen together, the better.
19:54Good day, Inspector Blake.
19:56Hold the door, please.
20:15Good day, Mr Potts.
20:17Ah, Detective Willows.
20:18Unaccustomed to seeing you within these hallowed walls?
20:20Transferred from Bow Street. It's my first day today.
20:22Best of luck to you.
20:23Yep.
20:23Actually, I was just coming to see you.
20:25We need the postmortems for the two women brought in this morning.
20:28I'll send word as soon as the examinations are completed, but I must warn you, we are running very much behind today.
20:34Hence why I'm here.
20:35If you could chance to see Mr Wormsley.
20:36Afraid not.
20:37I can find hide the hair of him.
20:39If you do happen upon him, please impress that he is needed at the mortuary most precipitously.
20:44And do use that word.
20:45I'll do my best, Mr Potts.
20:50Hello again.
20:51Did you find it at the clerical office?
20:53I did.
20:53You're a lifesaver.
20:54Thanks so much.
20:55How's your first day?
20:57So far, so good.
20:59Glad to hear it.
21:00I didn't get your name.
21:03Willows.
21:03Detective Willows.
21:04George Willows.
21:06It's a lot of names.
21:07I'm just Isabel.
21:10Well, Isabel Summers.
21:12Nice to meet you, Detective George Willows.
21:37Miss Mason?
21:42Miss Mason?
21:52Who are you?
21:59Do you know that man?
22:01I believe so.
22:05I don't know his name.
22:07But he's a patient of Dr. Cole's.
22:11I remember seeing him a couple weeks back.
22:14He came to see Dr. Cole.
22:16What did he want with me?
22:20Well, we can't be certain.
22:23But there's a chance that the two women who died had their medication poisoned.
22:28Two women?
22:29Another of Dr. Cole's patients has died, as well as Miss Quayle.
22:34Yes, and Mrs. Elizabeth Roper.
22:37And you think the medication may have killed them.
22:41Well, we're still waiting on the post-mortem report.
22:44I think you should stop taking your tablets until we know more.
22:46May I ask why you're taking the medication?
22:54Life has been a struggle for me.
22:58I grew up in an orphanage.
23:00And then the workhouse.
23:02And when I came of age, I left to work in a laundry.
23:05Which is where Dr. Cole took pity on me.
23:09He took me in.
23:12First as a housemaid.
23:15And then he trained me as his secretary.
23:20He taught me to read and write.
23:23A father couldn't have done more.
23:25You're having electrotherapy.
23:33It helps me tremendously.
23:36Dr. Cole administers it.
23:38He'll know the name of the man you found here.
23:41Sounds like the man you described is Zebediah Sawyer.
23:51He's a long-standing patient of mine.
23:54Poor creature, plagued by demonic voices, telling him to cause people harm.
23:59When was the last time you saw him?
24:02Last week.
24:04He turned up at my door in an agitated state.
24:07We'd started a course of electrotherapy a few days earlier, and he was adamant it had made him worse.
24:12I offered to help him, but he wouldn't listen.
24:14He was in a blind rage.
24:16Enough to wish harm on you?
24:18An act of revenge, perhaps?
24:21Zebediah developed his condition in his early twenties, but before that he was a functioning member of society.
24:26He had several different jobs, including being a clerk at a pharmacist's store.
24:33Could he have the skill to temper with the medication you prescribed?
24:38The bottles you found on the dead women, could I see them?
24:45Both bottles are wrongly labelled.
24:48According to Dr. Cole, one tablet of potassium bromide is the standard daily dose.
24:52These labels say five tablets, a potentially lethal amount.
24:54Luckily, these are the only bottles affected.
24:58The other patients all had the correct dose.
25:01So this Zebediah Sawyer tampered with the labels?
25:04Perhaps there's revenge on the doctor who failed to cure him.
25:07It seems so.
25:10Any news on the post-mortems?
25:12Still waiting, sir.
25:14What on earth's going on in the city mortuary?
25:16I saw Mr. Potts earlier, he was looking for Mr. Wernsley.
25:19Grayson, get yourself down to the city mortuary, find out what's going on over there.
25:21Yes, sir.
25:22Do we have an address for Zebediah Sawyer?
25:29There are at least twelve known addresses.
25:32The man moved around a lot.
25:34It would save time if we took a few each.
25:37No, you will remain here.
25:39What?
25:40Why?
25:43Miss Gullet, the man we are hunting is extremely dangerous.
25:46Then I will be careful, as we all will.
25:55I have many resources for such scenarios.
25:57I will take some hide muscle with me.
26:04Would you bring me to the nicest place?
26:06Careful of wardens to mine, Clarence.
26:08I need two more to go.
26:09What's the next address?
26:10Uh, it's just a few doors down.
26:13Mrs. Zebediah Sawyer clearly likes this, no, but...
26:16I'm curious.
26:17Why did you bring me along with you?
26:19I wanted Inspector Blake that I wouldn't go alone.
26:22Yes, but that's my point.
26:23You've lied to the Inspector many times before.
26:25It's a habit that I wish to break.
26:26Why?
26:27What's changed?
26:28Nothing's changed.
26:29I just want to tell her to break the truth, that's all.
26:33The premises moved to Belmont Street.
26:37What?
26:38So, you told the Inspector that I'm your hired muscle?
26:41No, of course not.
26:43Well, then that's hardly telling him the truth, is it?
26:45Can we please just concentrate on the matter in hand?
26:48You stay here, visit the public houses and the streets around,
26:51see if we can find out.
26:52Apparently a man's a heavy drinker.
26:55I'll go to this Belmont Street boarding house,
26:58see if there's been any sign of him.
27:00You're sending me to the roughest pubs this side of the city
27:03to look for a heavy drinker who hears demonic voices
27:06telling him to kill people.
27:07I'll meet you back at the office first thing.
27:09If you don't show up, I'll send out a search party.
27:11How does that sound?
27:13Unsatisfactory.
27:29I'm looking for Mrs. Potts.
27:34You found her?
27:35I present to give you this.
27:37We need to put out an appeal for information on a man named Zebediah Sawyer.
27:41This needs typing up and circulating.
27:42Consider it done.
27:43And you are?
27:44Good evening, Detective Willows.
27:46Miss Summers.
27:47How are you settling in?
27:48Yeah, there's a lot to learn, but I think I'm getting there.
27:50She's doing very well indeed.
27:54Was there anything else, Detective Willows?
27:58No.
28:00That's all.
28:02Sir, where have you been all day?
28:16I had to go ahead and find an interim coroner in your stead.
28:20Not now, Potts.
28:21Yes, now, Mr. Wormsley, if you please.
28:27Sorry, sir, but I can hold my tongue no longer.
28:32Things need to be said before the good reputation of this mortuary is forever tarnished.
28:38Get up!
28:40And stay up!
28:44What the?
28:50I'm...
28:51Thank you for your time.
28:58If there's any sighting at all of Mr. Sawyer, then please contact the police immediately.
29:03He's extremely dangerous.
29:04Thank you for your time.
29:29I have a revolver
29:40and I'm not afraid to use it.
29:46I'd really rather you didn't.
29:48I don't.
29:50Miss Scarlet?
29:59I made myself look an idiot.
30:04You're overreacting.
30:05Do you have any idea how hard it's been for me to build my reputation
30:08only to act like some damsel in distress?
30:11I haven't even called you Alexander.
30:14Detective Willows won't care.
30:16He'll put it down to you being scared witless.
30:19Which, by the way, is allowed
30:21since you are a mere mortal like the rest of us.
30:25Tying myself in knots thinking
30:27what should I say?
30:29What should I do?
30:30How would I behave if I were a normal detective?
30:34I'm exactly where you're normal.
30:38I'm more concerned that you put yourself at risk.
30:41It was only luck that I was there.
30:42Belmont Lodging House was on my list.
30:45You said you wouldn't go alone.
30:47I wasn't alone.
30:48Clarence was with me for most of the time.
30:50Clarence was your hired muscle.
30:53Years of carrying ledgers have not gone to waste.
30:55He's stronger than he looks.
30:57Now I feel guilty about lying to you.
31:02You see, this is impossible.
31:03We cannot work together.
31:04Eliza, you're overreacting.
31:08What if the lads just came by
31:10with a message for you, Inspector?
31:12Thank you, Mrs. Fox.
31:17I have to go.
31:18I've made a decision.
31:25I will no longer work on the case.
31:27Don't be ridiculous.
31:29I want our...
31:31courtship romance.
31:34Whatever you want to call it,
31:35to have a fighting chance.
31:37This is the best way.
31:39Well,
31:40for what it's worth,
31:41I think you're wrong.
31:42No one knows about us, Eliza.
31:46But you must do what's right for you.
31:50Have I not been like a mother to that girl?
31:53Have I not been the one
31:54to pick her up when she grazed her knee,
31:56or dried her eyes
31:57when Arabella Herbert
31:58called her the cruelest of names,
32:00or defended her to her father
32:02when she was expelled from college?
32:04Again?
32:05Yet she tells me nothing.
32:07Nothing.
32:09How was your day?
32:11Oh.
32:12I was dismissed.
32:15Mr. Wormsley
32:16finally arrived at work
32:17at five o'clock this evening.
32:18Five o'clock!
32:19Well, I could take no more,
32:20so I gave me a piece of my mind.
32:22Oh, Barnabas, I am sorry.
32:23You would not even allow me
32:24to collect my things.
32:26Threw me out like a vagrant.
32:27Ruin my hat.
32:29Do you know what else he called me?
32:31A vexatious buffoon.
32:33Well, you wait and see
32:34where I call him
32:35if I ever set eyes on that man.
32:37Thirty years I have given
32:38to the city mortuary,
32:39and now,
32:40for the first time in my life,
32:41I'm...
32:42I'm unemployed.
32:45Oh.
32:47Why don't you get out
32:48of these work, Rose?
32:49And I'll make you a nice dinner.
32:51Then we should talk things through
32:52over a glass of cherry by the fire.
32:55Yes.
32:56Good evening.
32:58Good that it were.
33:00What's wrong with Barnabas?
33:03He's been sacked.
33:05Sacked?
33:06That's what I said.
33:08What's wrong with you?
33:10Is there anything you'd like to tell me?
33:13Like what?
33:17Dinner will be in an hour.
33:22Very well.
33:23Good evening, sir.
33:31Detective Willows.
33:33What have we got?
33:34He was pulled out about an hour ago.
33:36There's a gunshot wound to the head.
33:39And do we know who he is?
33:41I think this is our man, sir.
33:43He certainly fits the description.
33:44Oh, Zebediah.
33:50What did you do?
33:55You can confirm that this is your patient,
33:57Zebediah Sawyer.
33:58It is.
34:03Is it possible that he could have taken his own life?
34:05The gunshot seems to have been at close range.
34:10On more than one occasion,
34:11he expressed suicidal thoughts.
34:13That's why we started the course of electrotherapy.
34:16But his drinking
34:17exacerbated his symptoms.
34:20I tried to persuade him
34:22to stop.
34:26But he had a chaotic mind.
34:27It's late.
34:33I'll come by in the morning
34:35to take a full statement.
34:37Get some rest, doctor.
34:39I did everything I could to help him.
34:42But over the years,
34:43I've come to realize that
34:44some people are beyond help.
34:57It's not like you
35:00to forget your key clothes.
35:02It's not like me
35:03to be suffering from alcohol poisoning.
35:06As requested,
35:07I visited all the public houses
35:08of the Seven Dials last night
35:10in search of this Zebediah Sawyer
35:12in one particularly grotty establishment
35:15called the Plague Pit.
35:17I ran into a spot of bottle
35:19with some of the locals.
35:20I honestly think I would have been safer
35:21in an actual Plague Pit.
35:23I had to buy five rounds
35:25of roughest whistleblowers
35:27for the whole pub.
35:30That is the only reason
35:30I'm still alive.
35:32Well,
35:33thank you for your efforts.
35:37The Scotland Yard
35:38are no longer in need
35:39of our services.
35:41What?
35:42Why not?
35:43Well,
35:44because I just received
35:48a telegram from Minspet Lake.
35:51A body was found
35:51on the riverbank last night
35:52and identified as
35:53Zebediah Sawyer.
35:55Really?
35:57Clarence,
35:58will you please
35:58stop questioning me
35:59every time I mention
35:59Scotland Yard
36:00or Inspector Blake?
36:01All I was going to say
36:02is that according
36:03to my new friends
36:04at the Plague Pit,
36:05Mr Sawyer is very much alive.
36:07What?
36:08Yes.
36:09He's awaiting sentencing
36:10in Manchester County Prison.
36:11He's getting paid out.
36:13He's getting sued for them.
36:15He's getting sued.
36:16He's got a lot of money
36:16in the middle of his life.
36:17He's getting sued and
36:22in the middle of his life.
36:24He's got a lot of women
36:25and there
36:26a lot of men
36:27were told
36:28that he was
36:29like,
36:30he of course
36:31told me
36:32that the night
36:33was
36:34not
36:35not
36:35about
36:36his
36:37father
36:37or
36:38I
36:39Barnabas, I heard about your dismissal.
36:48I'm sorry.
36:51I've been instructed to come by to pick up my personal effects.
36:54Do you happen to know if Mr. Wormsley's in attendance?
36:57Well, no one appears to be here. The door was left open.
37:00Mr. Wormsley's gone out and left the door on the ledge.
37:03Not for the first time.
37:05I'm pleased that you're here because I need your assistance.
37:08I'd like to look at the photographs of two recent post-mortems.
37:11The dead women brought in yesterday.
37:13I'm afraid that as a former employee, I'm no longer permitted access to the premises.
37:19Well, I won't tell if you don't.
37:21That would be a severe breach of protocol. I simply cannot.
37:25No, no, of course not.
37:29Well, I am here on official police business.
37:32So, perhaps if you assist me, then I can grant you permission.
37:38And you do need to collect your things, do you not?
37:49Very well.
37:50Miss Scarlet, would you be so kind as to grant me permission to enter the city mortuary?
38:02Permission granted, Mr. Potts.
38:08Now then, I need your brain.
38:13Dr. Cole?
38:27Miss Mason.
38:48Sarah.
38:50Please, put the gun down.
38:51Whatever's happened, we can talk it through.
38:54Talk to him!
38:56Not me.
38:57He's the liar.
38:58He's the one that's lied again and again and again.
39:04Put the weapon down, Miss Mason.
39:05Sarah, this is my daughter.
39:22Her mother was an inmate at an asylum where I was the residing physician.
39:29She's so beautiful.
39:37So fragile.
39:40We fell in love.
39:44I knew it was wrong.
39:46Which is why I left my position and I never saw her again.
39:48I had no idea she was with child.
39:56Or that she died in childbirth.
40:00I only found out years later through some research I was carrying out at the Bulloch Workhouse.
40:06There I found a file on Sarah.
40:10By that time she'd left, but I was determined to find her.
40:14I was working in a laundry.
40:19It was a miserable existence.
40:22One day, Dr. Cole came to do a study on the health of the girls that worked there.
40:28He seemed to feel sorry for me in particular.
40:31And took me in.
40:34He never told me who he really was.
40:38The man lying in the mortuary isn't your patient, Zebediah Sawyer, is he?
40:42Unlike the two women, he doesn't have the marks on his wrist from the electrotherapy you said you'd given him.
40:51His name is Franklin Sloan.
40:55He's a private detective who helped me track Sarah down.
41:00Two weeks ago, he showed up at my door drunk.
41:04He had gambling debts.
41:05He tried to blackmail me.
41:07I refused to pay him.
41:08But when I found out he'd visited Sarah, I knew he would reveal to her who I really was.
41:18Which is when you had the idea to blame him for the deaths of the two women.
41:21You gave him the identity of a past patient you knew who was locked up in Manchester prison.
41:26So if Sloan didn't poison them, who did?
41:30It was me.
41:34I made a mistake.
41:36Got confused by the different medicine dosages and mixed up the information on the labels.
41:41All of this is my fault.
41:46I am the one to blame, not Sarah.
41:50The poor child had not long learned to read and write.
41:54I pushed her too hard.
42:00Gave her too much responsibility.
42:04I was just so proud of her.
42:07So you blamed Sloan to protect your daughter.
42:11Then you killed him.
42:13Not before he told Miss Mason the truth.
42:16This morning, I woke up to find an envelope had been slipped under my door in the night.
42:26And it was a file.
42:29Where I learned that...
42:31Dr. Cole was my father.
42:36I was so angry and confused.
42:39In a rage, she picked up my revolver.
42:44She didn't mean to hurt me.
42:46The same revolver you used to put a bullet in Sloan's head.
43:00So what happens now?
43:01Well, given the circumstances, if Miss Mason puts in a guilty plea and finish, she'll avoid a prison sentence.
43:07Dr. Cole, on the other hand.
43:09Do you still have that whiskey in your office?
43:13Are you suggesting being seen entering my office?
43:16Together.
43:17Very funny.
43:25Good night, Detective Willows.
43:27Miss Summers, good night to you.
43:31Was there anything else you wanted to say to me?
43:34Or ask me?
43:36No, I don't think so.
43:38Shame.
43:40Because I'm free this evening.
43:43I'm afraid I'm not.
43:44I have to pick up the baby from the minders.
43:46Oh, I didn't realise.
43:48She's not mine.
43:49She's my sister.
43:50She lives with me.
43:51It's a long story.
43:54Well, good night, Detective Willows.
43:57But I'm free tomorrow night.
44:00I'm glad you changed your mind about working the case.
44:15The outcome could have been very different.
44:19It would have worked it out.
44:22Probably, yes.
44:25Eliza.
44:27You don't need to say it.
44:29You didn't know what I was going to say.
44:30You're going to say that me believing I could keep us in some sort of bubble is not only childish but unrealistic.
44:36I was going to say, as an ex-military man, structure and control run through my veins.
44:45But over the years, I've learned that trying to control too much of your life is futile.
44:51And when you stop trying to do so, that's where the real freedom lies.
45:01Oh, and there's one more thing.
45:03Goodness, I don't know how much more wisdom I can take.
45:08The burden of this situation might be eased if you were to confide in someone.
45:12Someone other than me.
45:21Barnabas!
45:30Barnabas!
45:32You're cooking dinner?
45:34Indeed I am, my beloved.
45:36Now, sit down, put your feet up, and I'll go and fetch you a nice glass of sherry.
45:41What's the puzzle of this on?
45:43I've decided there's no point in moping about.
45:45So, until I receive a full and satisfactory apology from Mr Wormsley,
45:49I shall be in charge of household duties.
45:53I'm rather looking forward to giving this kitchen a spring clean,
45:55perhaps even a little rearranging.
45:58Oh, that's a stew.
46:01Gently simmering.
46:03So, before I add my dumplings,
46:06just enough time to fetch that sherry bottle, Nigel.
46:08Oh!
46:10Excuse me!
46:13Nice to see him so contented again.
46:15Mm-hmm.
46:16Ivy, there's something that I need to tell you about myself and Inspector Blake.
46:25I'm listening.
46:29Well, he's coming to dinner, so we need to set an extra place.
46:33And?
46:34And we are currently enjoying a quiet, very private courtship.
46:48Goodness me, I had no idea.
46:51You're a terrible liar.
46:53And you shouldn't have kept it from me.
46:54And you shouldn't be listening at doors.
46:56You, Inspector Blake,
46:58That is music to my ears.
47:02But please, keep it to yourself for now.
47:04We're still working out our arrangement.
47:05My lips are sealed.
47:06Bottle of sherry.
47:10Barnabas, Inspector Blake is joining us for dinner.
47:12Huh?
47:15I invited him.
47:16The more, the merrier.
47:18We can enjoy a nice long game of gingerummy after dinner.
47:21The four of us,
47:22all evening,
47:23putting the world to rights.
47:24Oh, wouldn't that be marvellous?
47:27Marvellous.
47:27Marvellous.
47:28Marvellous.
