00:00Diggins?
00:06Can't live like this.
00:09Two more of these and I can afford those new hunting boots.
00:14What's wrong?
00:15I requested a raise.
00:17Guess they said no.
00:19And you're surprised?
00:20I can't believe it.
00:21I've given my life to this place.
00:24I've heard there were no raises until next year.
00:26I have a family. Mouths to feed.
00:28What does that matter? Your wife's a moving picture star.
00:31She doesn't think she should be spending her money on the family.
00:34She says I'm the man.
00:36I see.
00:36No, Roberts, you don't.
00:41I've been here for years,
00:42and yet I'm only making 50 cents a week more than you.
00:45Have you thought about getting a second job?
00:48I've had nightmares about it, but yes, I have.
00:51Let's keep considering.
00:53There's plenty of options here. Take a look.
00:55Night soil collector? You can do that?
01:00No.
01:01Uh...
01:02Robert!
01:02What?
01:03Please.
01:05Just trying to help.
01:06Are you sure that's secure?
01:21I think so.
01:22You're not getting paid to think.
01:23Is it secure or not?
01:25It's secure.
01:27All right, hop on.
01:36That's it for the night.
01:50You don't talk much, do you?
01:54It's good.
01:58You can come back tomorrow if you want.
02:00So I passed the test then?
02:03As far as I'm concerned.
02:04Hey, you want to go grab a drink?
02:07I know we'll speak nearby.
02:09Meet the guys, watch your whistle.
02:11I could have one.
02:12All right.
02:13Henry, is it?
02:13I said it is.
02:14Cecil?
02:15Cecil.
02:16Briar.
02:16Welcome aboard, Henry.
02:17Now, I'm not going to have to teach you how to drink as well, am I?
02:21I don't think that'll be the problem.
02:25Help!
02:34All well?
02:55Momentarily uneventful, although I have been speaking with Alexander Graham Bell.
03:01Oh, how is he?
03:02We've been working together on an innovation that will enable transcontinental telephone calls.
03:07Yes, yes, yes, enough of that.
03:09I've just had an earful from Alderman Atkins.
03:12His automobile was stolen last night, not two streets from this very station house.
03:16There has been an increase in automobile thefts.
03:19We've received a number of telephone calls, but the men are looking in it.
03:22Put more men on it, although as far as I'm concerned, they can all be stolen.
03:26Still not a fan of the automobiles, sir?
03:28No, just a bunch of bloody belchers.
03:31Sir, sir, what is it?
03:33A dead body in the back garden of a house in Ratnamie.
03:36Well, that takes priority over stolen automobiles.
03:39Come on, mate-up.
03:40Um...
03:41Lydia, just another day in paradise.
03:54Who reported this?
03:56The neighbor.
03:57Her dog apparently jumped the fence.
03:59She knew that Mr. Fisk didn't like dogs, came to retrieve the animal and found this.
04:08Powder burns on his temple.
04:10Shot at close range.
04:12An execution?
04:13It's possible.
04:15Have you been able to see a weapon?
04:17Murdoch, I've just got here, same time as you.
04:19What a daft, bloody question.
04:21Right.
04:26Shall we go and break the news?
04:34What's happened to Archibald?
04:37That's what we're attempting to determine.
04:38When were you away?
04:41At my sister Edith, the last three days.
04:44And Mr. Fisk all right?
04:45I'm afraid he's been shot, and he's no longer with us.
04:49Oh, girl!
04:50Madam, please, have a seat, have a seat.
04:52Have a seat.
04:53A moment, sir.
04:57Of course.
04:58Chairman Woodley.
05:00Detective Murdoch, Toronto Constabulary.
05:03How long have you been in their employ?
05:05Going three years now.
05:07Is there anything I should know about?
05:09Between them?
05:10No.
05:10Any recent disputes?
05:15One man comes to mind.
05:17Derek Alston.
05:18Mr. Fisk had promised to invest in a mining venture Alston was undertaking, but he pulled
05:22out at the last minute.
05:24So there may have been bad feelings between the two?
05:27None for Mr. Fisk, but Mr. Alston was very upset.
05:30Came back to the house a few times.
05:32Angry.
05:32Angry.
05:33Angry enough to kill?
05:35I don't know about that, but Mr. Fisk was spooked.
05:38He even took to carrying his old pistol around.
05:52Wrong side of town, Briar.
05:54You should know that.
05:55We got the east side of the down river.
05:57Not anymore.
05:59What are you talking about?
06:00My boss has been talking to your boss.
06:02New rules, new boundaries.
06:04You shouldn't have done that.
06:13Hey!
06:14Hey!
06:15Back off!
06:15Back off!
06:18Is there a problem here?
06:20There's no problem, officer.
06:22It's a minor disagreement, but it's over.
06:24Isn't that right?
06:27That's right.
06:29Just get out of here before I write you all up.
06:31Move!
06:32Now!
06:33Speed it up!
06:34Talk to your boss!
06:36I'll tell you to score.
06:37All right, all right.
06:49He took the tire iron from him like candy from a baby.
06:52No fear at all.
06:54Not my first dust-up.
06:56You're a tough guy.
06:57No?
06:57If need be.
06:59If need be.
07:01That's rich.
07:08So you think you could take me on?
07:11If need be.
07:12Welcome aboard, Milton Scruggs.
07:23What are you lot doing lollygagging around?
07:26Nothing going on out there tonight, boss.
07:31Run into any trouble?
07:33A couple of graves, man.
07:35How do we come to an agreement?
07:36The man upstairs told me we had.
07:38I guess the word didn't trickle down.
07:40Everything turned out all right?
07:42Sure did.
07:43Henry here twisted one of them up into a soft pretzel.
07:46He was just telling us all about it.
07:48Do I know you?
07:51I don't think so.
07:53Stand up.
07:53No, I do know you.
08:03Henry, is it?
08:04That's right.
08:05What's your surname?
08:07Biggins.
08:08That's where I know you from.
08:10St. Anne's Academy?
08:12Yes.
08:13How do you know that?
08:18Floyd Griswold.
08:22Floyd?
08:22What has it been?
08:2630 years, if it's a day.
08:28What, you two know each other?
08:29You're damn right we do.
08:31Two English boys growing up in the gas bay.
08:34How the devil did you end up here?
08:36I could ask you the same.
08:37I always thought you were made for better things.
08:41No offense, boys.
08:43I just need some extra money.
08:46You're a good man, Floyd.
08:47Oh, you don't need to tell me that.
08:49I was a bit of a runt back in the day, and Henry here always had my back.
08:54You want a job here?
08:57You got it.
08:58Looks like you're doing well for yourself, owning a business.
09:02I don't own it.
09:04Just run it.
09:05Yeah, he's a hell of a boss.
09:07You already got a job, Scruggs.
09:08No need to blow smoke up my ass.
09:10But if you're looking for something to do, you can pour us some drinks.
09:15Grab a seat, Henry.
09:17Grab a seat.
09:18What's that?
09:25It's a thank you for last night.
09:30Damn.
09:31What?
09:32My pocket watch.
09:34You must have left it in the tow truck.
09:36Cover for me, will you?
09:37I'll be right back.
09:40Mr. Alston was out of town at the time,
09:42and he claims he's secured another investor.
09:45Both claims to?
09:46They could be.
09:47And he seemed genuinely shocked that Mr. Fisk was dead.
09:51Did the lads find any sign of a weapon?
09:53Not a trace.
09:54I see.
09:56The widow Fisk.
09:57She's a lot younger than he was, isn't she?
09:59Sir?
10:00Well, rich old man, pretty younger wife.
10:04Wouldn't surprise me if she wanted to hurry nature along.
10:07She says she was with her sister.
10:09Well, let's see if the sister backs her story up.
10:11Bring her in.
10:12We'll have a chat.
10:13We?
10:14I'm with you on this one, Murdoch.
10:16Look, the desk job is making me feel old.
10:19And I don't like the feeling.
10:20Very nice.
10:23Yeah, I know.
10:24Not a trace.
10:24But I'm not going to be 있는.
10:28I'll be there.
10:29I'm going to make a permanent job.
10:32Well, we have to do, guys.
10:34Okay.
10:35For now.
10:37That's horrible news.
11:07Archibald was a dedicated husband.
11:09Is that so?
11:11And was your sister a dedicated wife?
11:14She was with me the day her husband died.
11:16That doesn't answer the question.
11:21Please, we need the truth.
11:26She went out that evening.
11:29She thought I didn't know.
11:31Where did she go?
11:37As the detective said, I think it's time for the truth.
11:45Sorry to hear that.
11:47How long has it been since your husband went missing?
11:49Three days now.
11:50I see.
11:51Can you provide a photograph?
11:53I cannot.
11:55I, how long do I have to wait before I can declare him dead?
12:03Excuse me?
12:04I would like to declare him dead so that I can get on with my life.
12:09I'll see what I can do.
12:13Roberts.
12:14Henry.
12:15How about the double life?
12:17It's increasingly complicated.
12:18Where's Detective Murdoch?
12:19In his office with the Chief Constable.
12:24So it appears that Mrs. Fisk has been less than faithful?
12:27If we're to believe the sister.
12:28I'm inclined to.
12:29As am I.
12:31What are you hanging around for, Higgins?
12:34I took another job.
12:37Are you still showing up here on time?
12:39I have been.
12:40Well, then I don't have a problem with it.
12:42In fact, I applaud the initiative.
12:44Hmm.
12:45There is something else though, sirs.
12:50I think I've seen a murder.
12:52You think?
12:53Well, I found a dead body with a knife sticking in it.
12:57Where?
12:58On the chest, sir.
12:59The body, Higgins.
13:00Where's the body?
13:01Oh, in a warehouse in the boot of an auto.
13:04Take me there.
13:05I, that's just the thing, sir.
13:07They don't know I'm a policeman.
13:09What's the job?
13:10I'm working for an auto towing company, but I don't think their practices are all above
13:14board.
13:15Henry, are you telling us that you've been breaking the law?
13:20Well, I prefer to think of it as working undercover.
13:23Working undercover?
13:24Under whose authority?
13:26Mine.
13:27Yours?
13:28Well, not at first, but once I thought something fishy was going on.
13:32Well, let's bring in whoever's working.
13:34I wouldn't do that, sir.
13:36Oh, is that so?
13:37Then what exactly would you do?
13:39Well, someone is at the head of this organization, sir.
13:42Let me stay in there and I'll find out who.
13:44How do you know all this, Henry?
13:46One of the men working at the warehouse is an old friend of mine.
13:49I don't believe anyone there is a killer, but I can find out who they're working for.
13:53I hate to say it, but he has a point.
13:56And we do have a man on the inside.
13:59Need I remind the two of you that Constable Tucker worked undercover for us and he ended up dead.
14:06Are you sure you're up to me, Higgins?
14:08I am.
14:10Good.
14:11Well, you can also get a list of all the automobiles that are currently impounded.
14:14Alderman Atkins has been complaining about it.
14:17And, Henry, I'll need to see that body.
14:19None of the men show up until after dark.
14:21Sir, Mr. Anderson is here.
14:24Right, thank you.
14:25Sir, if I pull this off, would you consider a race?
14:29We'll talk about it, if you're not dead.
14:31Detective Murdoch, Wilmer Anderson, Elm Ridge Hotel.
14:38You wanted to talk to me?
14:40Yes, please, come in.
14:41Have a seat.
14:47What can I do for you?
14:49We wanted to ask you a few questions about one of your frequent guests.
14:53A Mrs. Prunella Fisk.
14:56I'm sorry, but it's the hotel's policy not to release private information about hotels.
15:00And it's my policy to jail people who don't cooperate with the police.
15:05She comes in every second week with her husband.
15:08Her husband?
15:09That's what she says.
15:11And this husband, what does he look like?
15:13He's a tall black man.
15:15Very handsome.
15:23What are you doing here?
15:25The shift doesn't start for two hours.
15:28I'm just looking at the autos.
15:35Why?
15:36I'm thinking of buying one.
15:38Maybe one like yours over there.
15:42What are you doing here so early?
15:44Boss wanted something from the office.
15:48There's still so many cars here.
15:49Will people come to claim them?
15:51Junkers that aren't worth anything, we let the owners know.
15:54But...
15:55Ones that are cherry?
15:56Well...
15:57What can I say?
16:00They go missing.
16:03You steal them?
16:04If they're worth stealing.
16:10Look, I'm not proud of it, Henry.
16:11But I got six mouths at home and one on the way.
16:15And besides, if you got money for a nice auto, you got money for another one.
16:21Look...
16:22If you don't like it...
16:25I understand.
16:27But I'd get out now.
16:29My wife has steak tastes.
16:33And I've just got a sausage budget.
16:37We're providers.
16:39We do what we do to get by.
16:41See you in a couple hours.
16:46Oh, Henry.
16:47Yes?
16:48You've seen how easy these beasts are to steal.
16:51Why would you want to buy one?
17:01Steak tastes and a sausage budget.
17:05That's the first thing that came to mind, sir.
17:07Where's the body?
17:08It's just over here.
17:12It was in here, sir.
17:17That's definitely blood.
17:19I told you.
17:21This trunk smells like bleach.
17:23That's all right.
17:24I'll find out what happened to the body I promise you.
17:32Chief Constable.
17:34Did you know that Mr. Fisk was only 15 years older than me?
17:38And he was of ill health.
17:39What are you saying, sir?
17:41Well, ill health.
17:43Wife playing around with the help.
17:45Bullock to the temple.
17:47Maybe he did himself in.
17:48You could hardly blame him.
17:49Well, sir, that is possible.
17:51But if he had taken his own life, wouldn't we have found the gun with the body?
17:55I suppose so.
17:56What's the story with the poor sod that Higgins found?
17:59Well, sir, the body was gone.
18:01But I did find blood inside of the automobile.
18:04So the body had been there.
18:06Splendid.
18:08So what good does that do us now it's not there?
18:10Sir, it's not ideal, but Henry does assure me that he'll make it right.
18:13Oh, that fills me with optimism.
18:17Poor old bugger.
18:19Throws a birthday party for his wife and a week later she kills him.
18:22Allegedly.
18:23Well, let's see if we can make a change in that middle.
18:25Bring her in.
18:28Detective, can't he run into you here?
18:30What?
18:35Bill Watson.
18:38You arrested me some years back?
18:40Armed robbery.
18:42Amongst other things.
18:43Well, look, I'm a free man now.
18:45I did my time.
18:46I've turned my life around.
18:48Oh, good.
18:49Good for you.
18:51I want you to know that I am done with the Snoochie Boochies.
18:56Excellent.
18:58Snoochie.
19:00Snoochies.
19:05Long way from Gaspé, isn't it, Henry?
19:09Who would have thought we'd end up here in this stink hole?
19:12Ah, you're doing all right.
19:14Speaking of stink, what happened here? Somebody cleaned up the place.
19:18I keep telling Tyler there to quit bringing sardines to work.
19:22I like sardines.
19:24No one else does.
19:25Any trouble with Graves' man earlier?
19:29Looks like boss got the word out.
19:32You ever come by here?
19:34Who?
19:35This boss.
19:37I'd like to meet him.
19:39You don't want that.
19:40Okay, you want to work here, you do your job, you collect your pay.
19:44Don't ask questions.
19:46That right, Floyd?
19:47It's not that bad.
19:48It's true, though, isn't it?
19:50The owner come and claim that car we picked up on my first night?
19:54Something like that.
19:55What do you care, anyway?
19:57You heard what he said.
19:59About the questions?
20:01Well, there's no point denying it, is there?
20:08I did love Archibald, but there was something lacking.
20:13Worn out like an old shoe, was he?
20:15He was a good and decent man.
20:17That you and your lover, Mr. Woodley, decided to kill.
20:20We did not.
20:22On my word.
20:24I have admitted my philandering, but both Sherman and I were at the hotel the night Archibald was killed.
20:29One of you could be covering for the other.
20:31I'm telling the truth.
20:33Archibald and I may have stopped sharing intimacies, but he loved me more than anything in the world.
20:38Why should we believe you?
20:39Did you love him?
20:47I still do.
20:50I always will.
20:58Hey, you want a lift?
20:59I'll walk.
21:00I'd like to make it home alive.
21:02You don't trust my driving.
21:04I don't trust your drinking.
21:06Light waste.
21:07It's nothing.
21:10Are you sure?
21:11Don't worry.
21:12It's all right. I'll take it easy.
21:22Briar!
21:23Briar!
21:25Briar!
21:27Briar, are you all right?
21:29Yeah.
21:36Help!
21:38Help!
21:39Henry reported it last night.
21:51Two bodies in a week, both on Higgins' watch.
21:55Perhaps it's time to end this.
21:57But, Sir, Henry has yet to identify whoever is in charge of this organization.
22:01Everyone in that lot is guilty of theft.
22:03Maybe we pull him out and arrest whoever we can while we've still got the chance.
22:08Maybe so. Or we could let Henry persuade his friend to give up his boss.
22:13Oh, speak of the devil.
22:15Please, sirs. Hey.
22:16I want to see this through.
22:18You were nearly shot.
22:20You're in league with a bunch of killers.
22:22That's just it, sir. I don't think Floyd is behind any of this violence.
22:24I don't think that he's a killer.
22:25Have you gone soft, Higgins?
22:26Just because you held hands when you were seven years old?
22:29Sir, if the time comes and I have to lock Floyd up, I will.
22:33But not for a murder he didn't commit.
22:35Sir, if Henry believes he can handle himself, then we should give him a chance to arrest whoever's behind all this.
22:42Fine. But he's on your conscience, Murdoch. I've got a dodgy feeling about all this.
22:47Thank you, sirs. I won't let you down.
22:53Thank you, Mr. Fisk's financial records.
22:58Oh, my.
22:59Archibald broke, is he?
23:01Well, yes.
23:03And it appears the bank was set to foreclose on his home.
23:07Next month.
23:08So if the two lovebirds murdered the old man for his fortune, they're in for a rude awakening.
23:14I'd like to bring the two of them in. See how they react to this news.
23:18Hmm.
23:38Mrs. Fisk, are you now ready to tell me the truth?
23:52I already told you, Detective. Neither I nor Sherman had anything to do with Archibald's murder.
23:57Mr. Woodley, I asked you if there was anything going on between Mr. and Mrs. Fisk, and you lied to me.
24:06The two of you were carrying on an affair.
24:08Can you blame me for not being forthcoming about all this?
24:11That is immaterial, and it does nothing to lessen my suspicions.
24:15The hotel staff must be able to confirm this.
24:17The clerk did confirm that you checked into the hotel, but one or both of you could have returned home and murdered Archibald Fisk.
24:27Why on earth would we do that?
24:28To gain access to his money.
24:30Archibald was always very generous. There was nothing he'd deny me.
24:34Well, that may have been true in the past, but there was very little left to give at the time of his death.
24:40A number of poor investments left him destitute.
24:47Well, that explains it.
24:49I beg your pardon?
24:50It explains why Archibald was behaving the way he was. Sullen, sad, inconsolable.
24:57How he must have burdened himself with this.
25:00It's true. He was in poor spirits months before his murder.
25:03It's why I took up with Sherman in the first place.
25:06Archibald wasn't the man I married anymore, but that doesn't mean we killed him.
25:12Constables are searching your home now for the murder weapon.
25:17You are to remain in our cells until it's recovered.
25:26Sir?
25:28Sir?
25:31Chief?
25:32What is it?
25:36Has no one ever told you to knock before you enter a superior's office?
25:40Sorry, sir. I didn't expect to see you sleeping on the job.
25:44Watch it, lad.
25:45I was just resting my eyes.
25:47Of course, sir.
25:49Typical.
25:50He's not replaced my decanter.
25:52I bet it's terrible tea.
25:55What is it you want?
25:56I've been working on a missing persons case, and I think it may relate to what Henry's doing.
26:00How's that?
26:01It turns out the missing man spent some time in our cells a few years back for car theft.
26:04Sir?
26:06I know this man.
26:08You do?
26:09Yes.
26:10This was the dead man I found in the trunk at the warehouse.
26:13This is Aldous Graves.
26:14He runs a cartridge company.
26:16Well, used to.
26:17What have you got there?
26:19The knife that killed him, sir.
26:21Found it in Griswold's auto.
26:22Give it here.
26:24So your friend killed his competitor to consolidate power.
26:27Sir, I know it looks that way.
26:29It looks that way because it is that way.
26:31I wouldn't be surprised if Graves' gang were behind Cecil Breyer's killing.
26:34A retaliation.
26:36Let me speak to Floyd, sir.
26:37I'll speak to Floyd.
26:38Roberts, bring him in.
26:40And see if you can track down Graves' gang as well.
26:42Yes, sir.
26:44He gains you've got 12 hours to find the boss.
26:47I don't need you ending up as a cadaver as well.
26:56Tell us what you know about Aldous Graves.
27:02Graves?
27:03What about him?
27:05Well, you tell me, Sunshine.
27:07You're the one who killed him.
27:09Looks familiar, doesn't it?
27:12This knife was found in your automobile.
27:14It was also seen in the body of your rival, Aldous Graves.
27:20Who was found in the back of a stolen automobile in your lot, no less.
27:24What are you on about?
27:26I thought you wanted to talk about Cecil Breyer.
27:29A good man.
27:31Shot down in the street.
27:33By someone who likely worked with Mr. Graves.
27:36Likely revenge for you killing their boss.
27:39I've never seen that knife in my life.
27:40I didn't kill Graves.
27:41We received an anonymous tip that you were the last person seen with Graves before he was found dead in your car lot.
27:49This is a set up.
27:52I'm being set up.
27:54I find that hard to believe.
27:56And I imagine a judge won't swallow that rubbish either.
27:59Now if you're so innocent, tell us about your boss.
28:02I don't know anything about him.
28:04You're headed for the gallows, Griswold.
28:18Take my advice.
28:19Stop talking.
28:20Stop talking.
28:34Henry.
28:36Thank God you're here.
28:37They're trying to pin a murder on me.
28:40Do they question you?
28:42Floyd, I work here.
28:45At the station house.
28:47Wait, you what?
28:49I'm a policeman.
28:51You're a copper.
28:54How could you?
28:58I took you in.
28:59I gave you a job.
29:01I vouched for you.
29:03And now you set me up for a murder I didn't commit?
29:06Got some old friend!
29:09If you didn't do it, then you should tell us what you know.
29:12Oh, you have some nerve, you know that?
29:14All I know is I met Graves the night he went missing.
29:21We made a deal.
29:24Neither of us were keen to spill any more blood.
29:27So we ceded some territory and I handed over some trucks.
29:31And then what?
29:32And then that was it.
29:34We shook hands and went our separate ways.
29:36I had no reason to kill the man.
29:39We're not looking to give you a life sentence for stealing.
29:41We only care about the murders.
29:43Please.
29:45Think about talking to Detective Murdock.
29:54You know, Briar warned me.
29:57He said we couldn't trust everyone in the crew who said there might be a rat.
30:03And I never thought for one second that it was you.
30:11Okay.
30:16So, ah, Robbins.
30:18We're looking for Graves' men.
30:20They've been in the cells of Station House Number One for three days now.
30:23For what?
30:24They were in a drunken bra at Logan's Inn.
30:26Ah, so they weren't the ones who shot Cecil Briar?
30:28I've heard that.
30:30Ah, Murdock.
30:32The young Mrs Fisk and the driver, any luck?
30:34Possibly.
30:35Two years, Archibald Fisk had a substantial life insurance policy.
30:39So they knew he was broke and they killed him to get up the policy.
30:42That sounds like motive to me.
30:44I'm still not sure, sir.
30:46Mrs Fisk seemed genuinely distraught at the news of her husband's passing.
30:51And I don't think she knew he was out of money.
30:54Also, we don't know where the gun is.
30:56Ah, the great detective. Again, just the man I was after.
31:02You know this fella met up?
31:04He's put me away. Three separate times, I might add.
31:08Sir, this is Slippery Bill Watson, a career criminal.
31:13Well, that's quite the reference.
31:15Slippery no more. Mute Robert and I have parted ways.
31:18Mute Robert?
31:19Yeah, he was a tubby accomplice of mine.
31:22But now I'm walking the straight and narrow.
31:24Because I found Christ.
31:27What can we do for you, Mr. Watson?
31:29Oh.
31:31Whoa!
31:32It's not loaded, all right? Funny story, this.
31:35I'm taking my first few steps of freedom,
31:38and temptation falls out of the sky and hits me in the head.
31:42I'm afraid I don't understand.
31:44You and I both.
31:45I mean, how does a gun fall out of the sky, and why?
31:47Listen, sunshine, tell the truth. What really happened?
31:51Detective, you're a man of faith, are you not?
31:53I am.
31:54So you know, the good book says,
31:56be sober, be vigilant.
31:59Because the devil, as a worn lion, walketh about,
32:03seeking whom he may devour.
32:061 Peter 5, verse 8.
32:08Yes, but the good book doesn't say,
32:10believe in lying career criminals who tell ridiculous tall tales now, does it?
32:13Sir?
32:14Um...
32:16Look at this.
32:18A.F.
32:20I believe this gun may have belonged to Archibald Fisk.
32:24The Elmer, how's that possible?
32:26Isn't it obvious?
32:27God delivered it to me.
32:28God delivered it.
32:29And if you believe that nonsense, then I've got 20 acres in Timbuktu to sell you.
32:30Even if it is a lie, why walk in here and hand us the gun?
32:33And why the outrageous tale about it falling from the sky?
32:34The man's crackers.
32:35Too many billy clubs up the side of the head.
32:36And if he carries on with this cockamamie story, he's gonna get another one.
32:37I've spoken with the warden at the dawn.
32:38And Mr. Watson could not have murdered Archibald Fisk because he was in custody at the time of the murder.
32:42So another dead end.
32:43No pun intended.
32:45Thank you for your time, Mr. Watson.
32:46Thank you for your time, Mr. Watson.
32:47I've got 20 acres in Timbuktu to sell you.
32:48And why walk in here and hand us the gun?
32:49And why the outrageous tale about it falling from the sky?
32:50The man's crackers.
32:51Too many billy clubs up the side of the head.
32:55And if he carries on with this cockamamie story, he's gonna get another one.
32:59I've spoken with the warden at the dawn.
33:01And Mr. Watson could not have murdered Archibald Fisk because he was in custody at the time of the murder.
33:07So another dead end.
33:09No pun intended.
33:10Thank you for your time, Mr. Watson. You're free to go.
33:16Peace be with you, detective.
33:18And also with you.
33:20And especially you.
33:23Ah, so now we're all nice and warm and friendly.
33:26But he still doesn't explain how that gun fell from the sky.
33:31Let's have a closer look at the area where he claims it fell on him.
33:41Orders are clear.
33:43We're to keep working until things get sorted.
33:45We shouldn't even be here.
33:47Briar's dead.
33:48Griswold's behind bars.
33:49I mean, who knows?
33:50Maybe the cops are watching us right now.
33:51Shut it, Tyler!
33:53You want to tell the boss you're too scared to work?
33:56That's what I thought.
33:57I'll handle all messages between us and the boss.
34:01Henry, you hit the streets tonight.
34:04Tyler, you're in the shop.
34:06And why is it that we're taking orders from you?
34:09We've lost two men, sure.
34:12That should just mean that the shares increase with the risk.
34:15You haven't been here long enough to have a cup of coffee.
34:18What I want is to meet with this boss of yours.
34:21And I'm not afraid of him like the rest of you Sally's.
34:24He must have a few screws loose.
34:26Now, Tyler, if a tough guy here wants to meet the boss,
34:31he's in the building out back.
34:33I'll show him.
34:34Come on, let's go for a walk, Henry.
34:48You know, Henry, you might want to keep your nose clean and your mouth shut.
34:53I'd hate for you to be a problem like Briar was.
34:55A problem? What do you mean?
34:57Well, when a general hands down orders, a soldier follows them.
35:00Briar and Griswold, they thought they were too smart.
35:03What did Griswold do?
35:05He didn't take orders.
35:06The boss, who wanted Graves out of the picture,
35:08and said Griswold and Graves made a deal.
35:10Well, what's the problem with that?
35:12The boss didn't want a peace agreement.
35:13He wanted Graves eliminated.
35:16So I did what needed doing.
35:18And Briar?
35:19What of him?
35:21Well, the boss says Griswold and his loyalists,
35:23they can't be trusted anymore.
35:28They gotta go.
35:31I'm sorry.
35:35That means you too, Henry.
35:46What have you got for me, Murdoch?
35:49A theory.
35:50I'd prefer a solution.
35:52I believe they may be one and the same.
35:54So what's all this?
35:55These items were found near where Mr. Watson said that this gun fell out of the sky.
36:02What did they prove?
36:04That you may have been right, sir.
36:06Of course I was.
36:08Right about what?
36:09Sir, I believe Archibald Fisk took his own life.
36:14Have a look at these Chinese lanterns.
36:17Archibald Fisk was ill and dying and penniless.
36:31But he dearly loved his wife.
36:36He had a substantial insurance policy.
36:39Enough to provide for Prunella well into her old age.
36:43But the insurance would not pay out if he took his own life.
36:51So he had to make it appear as though it were a murder.
36:54Once the shot was fired, the lantern lifted off and carried away any evidence that his death was self-inflicted.
37:08Well, that's that then.
37:15I knew I was right.
37:23You're not going to meet the boss tonight.
37:26You're going to meet your maker.
37:38All right.
38:05Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
38:35Scroggs!
38:37Scroggs, you're dying!
38:39You have nothing left to lose!
38:41Tell me who the boss is!
38:43Scroggs, tell me who the boss is!
38:48Get it!
39:05Come to deliver me to the gallows?
39:09No.
39:11No gallows, Floyd.
39:13Scroggs killed Graves and Briar.
39:15He framed you.
39:21Just like I said.
39:23Well, I always believed you.
39:25I knew you weren't a killer.
39:27I'm your friend, but...
39:29I am a constable first.
39:31Just tell me who your boss is.
39:35I don't know.
39:37I just take my pay.
39:39And that's the truth.
39:41God, what a god-awful uniform.
39:45But then again, a rat in clothes is already a ridiculous prospect.
39:49You can call me a rat if you like.
39:51But this rat just spared you the noose.
39:55And with any luck,
39:57you'll be released from this place in time to see your children grow up.
40:03If you're waiting on a thank you,
40:05I wouldn't hold my breath.
40:07It's fine.
40:09I did my job, that's thanks enough.
40:13Right, if you know anything about the boss...
40:16Oh, Henry.
40:17Every man's gotta have a code.
40:21I chose this life.
40:23I'll do my time.
40:25Henry.
40:31We do what we do to get by, right?
40:33That's right, Blake.
40:43He took his own life?
40:45I'm afraid so.
40:49Why the ruse?
40:51Your husband had a significant life insurance policy.
40:57With you as the beneficiary.
41:00But it never would have paid out had his death been deemed a suicide.
41:06So he made it look like murder.
41:09Yes.
41:10And I am duty bound to reveal the truth in the matter.
41:19Of course.
41:23I wish I had been worthy of his love.
41:25Excuse me.
41:26Excuse me.
41:27Well done, son. The violence has stopped. Let's have the automobile thefts.
41:41Just doing my job, sir.
41:42Well, as a man of honour, I'm going to give you a raise of an extra 15 cents an hour.
41:47I never thought I'd say this, but...
41:48You've earned it.
41:49Thank you, sir. Ruth will be most pleased with me.
41:51You know, sir, I spoke to Floyd about his boss and Detective Murdoch offered him full immunity, but he still wouldn't talk.
41:53Mmm. So there is honour among thieves after all.
41:54Oh, er, it's a shame you couldn't convince your mate to talk, because I would have made the raise an even 20 cents an hour.
41:57Ow!
41:58Ow!
41:59Ow!
42:00Ow!
42:01Ow!
42:02Ow!
42:03Ow!

42:49Ow!
42:50Ow!
42:51Ow!
42:52Ow!
42:53What happened?
42:56Griswold's old friend turned out to be a constable at Station House 4.
43:02Blasted place.
43:05Are we opening up shops somewhere else?
43:08I could round up a few men.
43:10It won't be necessary.
43:14It appears this avenue of revenue is closed to me.
43:19That is, until I get rid of that damn Station House.
43:26Once and for all.
43:30Mark my words.
43:32I intend to.
