00:00Sir, I'm cataloging, you asked for.
00:06Already? That was quick.
00:08Well, there wasn't much jewelry in the lockup.
00:11Excellent.
00:15Was there something else?
00:18I was wondering if it would be all right to leave early.
00:21I'm off to Chatham.
00:23A visit home.
00:24Ever since I left.
00:26Oh, well.
00:26It seems tomorrow will be a day of reunions for both of us.
00:31My son, Harry, is set to arrive from England.
00:34Is that right?
00:36Well, I look forward to meeting him when I get back.
00:38All right.
00:48You've lost weight living in the city.
00:50We've got to get you fattened up.
00:51As long as my uniform still fits.
00:53You brought it with you.
00:55I'm not sure why you asked me.
00:56Where is it?
00:56Better not be creased.
01:03Oh.
01:06Oh, rolled up neatly just like I taught you.
01:10Why did you ask me to bring it?
01:14I don't think I ought to be wearing my uniform when I'm not on duty.
01:17Nonsense.
01:18I want folks to know that my son is a Toronto police officer.
01:22Mrs. Roberts, shouldn't you be at work?
01:23Don't you remember, Mr. Finley?
01:26I took the day off.
01:28My son is visiting from Toronto.
01:32Leave back Monday.
01:36Seems like a nice man.
01:38Mark's worse than his bite.
01:39Is that Joe?
01:43Joe Enns?
01:45Mrs. Roberts.
01:48Teddy, it's good to see you.
01:50It's been a long time.
01:51Sure has.
01:52How have you been?
01:53Good.
01:54At least some land from Noah Jackson, if you can believe it.
01:58Noah Jackson?
01:58You don't want to know me.
02:00I got an acre across the creek from where we used to play.
02:06Seems you're doing well, too.
02:12Teddy's a constable in Toronto.
02:14Oh, that's something.
02:15Uh, say, I was just about to start clearing my land.
02:19I figured, could you lend a hand?
02:21Oh, uh.
02:22You should.
02:23You said you missed nature.
02:24I got nothing but that.
02:26Well, I wasn't expecting to be put to work this weekend, but why not?
02:38Making quick work a bit.
02:40Nice to see you.
02:41Happy to help.
02:42Some piece of land.
02:45Jackson must be getting soft in his old age to at least get to you.
02:48Yeah, you'd think, but...
02:50What is that?
02:53Looks like a little bit of old fabric.
02:56Reminds me of, uh, the overalls that Richie used to wear.
02:59With the red patches?
03:01Sure does.
03:02Yeah, he wore them every day.
03:04I don't know what that guy's up to.
03:07What's this?
03:12Skull?
03:22You don't think?
03:24Who is our friend?
03:46Richie Erchfield.
03:47How can you be so sure?
03:49The clothes.
03:50His initials were stitched into them here.
03:52See?
03:54I thought he went up north to find work when we were 16.
03:57Uh, you know, those tracks aren't too far from here, so he probably took a spill running for the train and he hatched his head on a rock.
04:04This wasn't done by any rock, Constable Gaines.
04:08Some sort of expert?
04:09I'm a police constable in Toronto.
04:12My boss told me that a gash like that was made by something regular, a tool or a weapon.
04:16Well, rocks can be regular.
04:19Sure, maybe, but if it was an accident, how did he get buried?
04:26Creek does blood here a lot.
04:29Near every time it rains.
04:31See?
04:32So the body had probably sunk into the mud.
04:35It happens.
04:35You know, it's a tragedy, but there's nothing to be done.
04:38But you'll move the, the, you'll, you'll move Richie?
04:42Yeah.
04:43I'll make the arrangements in the dare, too, but I gotta go tell the next a kid.
04:47We can do that.
04:48We can?
04:50Well, do yourself.
04:52Gaines is wrong.
04:58Someone killed Richie, and I'm going to find out who.
05:01How?
05:11I think this ring might be a start.
05:13I appreciate you letting me know, but this isn't Richie's.
05:22You sure?
05:23What kind of a question is that?
05:25I'm sorry, but it was you who told us you went up north for work.
05:29I didn't want to worry you boys.
05:31And for our line, you, we might have.
05:33Richie was always on about wanting to get out of this place.
05:36Yeah, but even back then, maybe you thought something happened?
05:39I wouldn't let myself, especially after the police didn't find a trace of trouble.
05:46My poor boy.
05:48We're going to find out what happened to Richie, I promise.
05:53Whether the details matter, what happened is, he died.
06:00It's so good to see you boys all grown.
06:08What now?
06:09Uh, now we find out why Richie had this ring.
06:19Do you think, was it for Minnie?
06:26I know they were sweet on each other, but a proposal.
06:30Richie would have told us if he was planning something like that.
06:33One way to know for sure.
06:36Anyone home?
06:36Minnie.
06:43Minnie.
06:44Hi.
06:45Hey, yourself.
06:46How's the land?
06:48Uh, a little, uh, surprises?
06:51I'm sure.
06:52Teddy Roberts.
06:54It's been years.
06:56Did I hear you're in Toronto?
06:57Yes, as a police constable.
06:59A constable at our door.
07:03Well, I sincerely hope you're not here to arrest my wife.
07:06He's joking.
07:07Is everything all right, Joe?
07:20Um, Teddy, maybe you should.
07:22Uh, I'm sorry to have to tell you and like this, but Richie, he's dead.
07:33Uh, Inspector, I'd like to introduce you to my son, Harry Murdoch.
07:45He'll be attending St. Allegis Boys' School this semester.
07:48Hmm.
07:48Pleasure to meet you, Harry.
07:49Your marks must be excellent for you to be accepted at St. Allegis.
07:53Top of his class at Harrow.
07:55Who's already better here?
07:57The facility is meant to be excellent.
07:59They say the dormitories rival the city's finest hotels.
08:03Oh, but no matter.
08:05Harry will be staying with me while he attends school.
08:08Mother said I'd be boarding.
08:10Oh, I think we would both prefer how much time we'll be able to spend together than that would allow.
08:16Do you still have that room for cooking potatoes using microwaves?
08:20An invention not mentioned.
08:22Indeed.
08:22Um, I'm afraid I've rented out the house and I've taken up quarters in a rooming house, Harry.
08:29Sure.
08:30I'd kill for a baked potato.
08:32No.
08:33Put that back.
08:35I believe I have some apples in my office.
08:51Thank you, darling.
08:52Excuse my appearance.
08:56We farm and process sugar beads.
08:58Been in the plant with the man.
08:59Must be a rewarding one.
09:01What on earth happened to Richie?
09:04He was killed.
09:05Years ago.
09:06Only thought he left town.
09:08Killed?
09:10How?
09:11By whom?
09:12We don't know.
09:13But you think Minnie might?
09:15No.
09:16We're trying to piece together his last movements and I wondered.
09:19I'd know you and Richie were close.
09:25Is that right?
09:26It was nothing.
09:27I was 15.
09:29Was there anything that happened between you before he supposedly left town?
09:34Not anything that would have gotten him killed, if that's what you mean.
09:41When was the last time you saw him?
09:44You don't want to get caught by old man, Jack McKenna.
09:46All right, brother.
09:51Wait.
09:53You seen a lunar eclipse before?
09:57Mm-mm.
09:59This one's only partial, but there'll be a full one in February.
10:02How can you know that?
10:06Been reading about them?
10:08I think they're beautiful.
10:11Like you.
10:15You're sweet.
10:17Maybe we can watch the next one together, too?
10:24I don't think so.
10:26Why not?
10:30You know why not.
10:31You ended things.
10:40I always assumed that he left town because of it.
10:43I never guessed.
10:43You couldn't have known, sweetheart.
10:46Who would have hurt him?
10:48I don't know what...
10:51I'm sure it has to do with this ring.
10:54Do you recognize it?
10:57Uh...
10:58No.
11:04Whitney thought maybe Richie was planning to give it to you.
11:07You weren't that serious.
11:13Did Richie know that?
11:21How am I supposed to get weight on you if you won't eat?
11:24Why did Richie have this ring if it wasn't for me?
11:31Eat.
11:36Well, it's real gold.
11:39How can you tell?
11:42The hallmarks on the band.
11:43Those markings mean something?
11:46Didn't you say we're cataloging jewelry for your boss yesterday?
11:51I only had to transcribe the markings, not understand them.
11:55Look.
11:5624 KT.
11:58That means 24 carat.
11:59The P means it's pure.
12:01What's the triangle next to the P?
12:04It looks familiar.
12:06That's the makers, Mark.
12:07It tells you who made the piece.
12:13This ring was made in Toronto.
12:15How can you tell?
12:16The P with the triangle.
12:18It's the logo of the jewelers on Bay Street.
12:22What would a boy like Richie be doing with a gold ring made in Toronto?
12:26I don't know.
12:31Unless it has something to do with it.
12:33I'm all right, Minnie.
12:38You all right?
12:43What was that?
12:45Sounds like it came from the other side of the creek.
12:47Probably just a hunter.
12:49Not this late.
12:50That groaning didn't sound like an animal.
12:53Should we go check it out?
12:54I think so.
12:56Someone could be hurt.
12:56We can't.
12:58Or I can't.
13:01My parents don't know that I'm out.
13:05We could still go.
13:10I should make sure Minnie gets home safe.
13:13Sorry, Tanner.
13:16All right.
13:18What if Richie went back to investigate and got himself killed?
13:21What does this ring have to do with that?
13:27I don't know yet.
13:34Detective Murdoch.
13:35You're still living in a single room, correct?
13:40Yes.
13:41Although I have inquired with the building about a larger unit.
13:44One with a second rope.
13:45Fine.
13:47Even the closest of families can chafe in close quarters.
13:50Not a family that's been apart for over a year, I assure you.
13:55Good night, Inspector.
13:56Harry?
14:03Station house four.
14:04Detective Watts.
14:05It's Teddy.
14:06In Chatham?
14:07The line is remarkably clear.
14:10How was your holiday?
14:11That's why I'm calling.
14:12Is Detective Murdoch there?
14:14Oh.
14:15You just missed him.
14:17Shoot.
14:18I was hoping for some advice.
14:20I've stumbled into a case.
14:22What sort of case?
14:23I found a body.
14:25Only the Chatham police believe it was an accident.
14:28But you're certain it wasn't?
14:30Yes.
14:31Well, I have the next few days off.
14:33I could join you in Chatham.
14:34No, no, no.
14:35I could handle it on my own, but...
14:38But there is something you can do.
14:41I'm listening.
14:42The victim had a ring, but...
14:44I'm sure it wasn't his.
14:45It's from the jewelers on Bay Street.
14:48Parker's, you mean?
14:49That's it.
14:50Could you see if you can find out who bought it?
14:53It's gold with a sort of winged circle edge to the top.
14:56Winged...
14:57Circle.
15:00I'll see what I can do.
15:02Thank you, Detective Watts.
15:05If memory serves, the gunshots the night of the eclipse came from over that way.
15:11If Richie went back...
15:12Do you really think the two things are connected?
15:14I mean, the shots and his death?
15:15I'm sure of it.
15:16I thought coming back here would jog a memory.
15:19You shouldn't be here.
15:21Your plot's on the other side of the creek.
15:32I know.
15:33I'm sorry.
15:35You remember Teddy Roberts?
15:38Trespassing, same as ever.
15:40You mean no trouble, sir.
15:41We're investigating a case.
15:43What are you, a private detective?
15:45I'm a police constable.
15:46But I'm president of the United States.
15:50Now get off my land before I call the real coppers.
15:53All right.
15:54All right.
15:55All right.
15:55Are you feeling all right, Detective?
16:08Oh, nothing a little stretching.
16:11Can't fix.
16:13You're injured.
16:15Just a little stiff is all.
16:16Apparently, my camping bedroll is no match for my hardwood floor.
16:21You're sleeping on the floor.
16:23Well, Harry needs his rest, if he's to perform well in school.
16:28What about your performance?
16:29I'll manage.
16:30You're a better man than me.
16:32How's the rest of the first night otherwise?
16:34Wonderful.
16:36Although Harry has developed a taste for jazz music.
16:41Hmm.
16:41A genre of which you are not fond.
16:43Not at the volume that my son enjoys it.
16:46No.
16:48But I have come up with a plan to minimize the challenges of our living arrangement.
16:54I just need to find the time to sketch it out once Harry's classes start.
16:59Why wait?
17:00I could spend a day with him if that would help.
17:03Would you?
17:04Oh.
17:06These are beautiful.
17:08Why, thank you.
17:09Don't be doing that.
17:09But pruning can result in exponential growth.
17:14Messing around with my flowers can result in a swat.
17:18Detective Watts.
17:19What are you doing here?
17:20I was expecting a telegram.
17:22I had more information to share than a telegram would allow for.
17:25I'll leave you to it.
17:29Is this the owner of the ring?
17:31Manford Assisi.
17:32He was a rural property tax collector.
17:35He disappeared on a work trip eight years ago.
17:37His boss suspected he absconded with the money he was to collect.
17:40But given your case...
17:42The body I found isn't his.
17:46It wasn't?
17:47No.
17:48Oh.
17:49It was a friend.
17:55Teddy.
17:56I'm sorry.
17:57You should have said something when you telephoned.
17:59It wasn't relevant.
18:01What I need to figure out now is why Richie had Mr. Assisi's ring.
18:05Richie.
18:06Richie.
18:08You think learning that will give you answers about Richie's death?
18:11I do.
18:13Then take him into the place you found his body.
18:15I'd say that's a pretty big clue, unless Richie had a third femur.
18:25Not as far as I know.
18:27Are you telling me there's another body on my land?
18:35Alas, poor Manford.
18:38And hello, Constable Roberts.
18:40Well, now we know how Mr. Assisi died.
18:49There's also this.
18:54Um.
18:5630-40 crack.
18:58He was shot with a rifle on the top of his head?
19:01Suggesting he was on his knees when he was killed.
19:04Interesting.
19:05And gruesome.
19:06Richie must have been terrified when he found the body.
19:08Are we sure that that's what happened?
19:10How else did he get the ring?
19:12Maybe this Assisi fellow dropped it and Richie picked it up, or...
19:17If that's so, then why would he have been killed?
19:21No.
19:22Richie must have seen Mr. Assisi's body and the killer.
19:26Whoever that was.
19:27A thief, I guess.
19:30It's empty.
19:32The killer took all the money he collected on his trip.
19:35Pretty lucky for a thief to happen upon a tax collector.
19:38Hmm.
19:39Maybe it wasn't random.
19:41Good thinking.
19:42The tax office should be able to tell us who Mr. Assisi was in Chatham to see.
19:46Actually, I have another idea.
19:49But you're going to need a raincoat.
19:52Why?
19:52This Jackson fellow owns the property that Joe is farming?
19:58Yes.
19:58And he hates trespassers.
20:00That's a comfort?
20:02Well, he wouldn't have taken kindly to Mr. Assisi showing up on his land intentionally or otherwise.
20:07Mr. Jackson!
20:09You again?
20:11We've come to ask some questions.
20:13Who's we?
20:14Detective Llewellyn Watt, Toronto Constabulary.
20:17You recognize this man?
20:22My memory isn't what he used to be.
20:25You recognized me all right earlier.
20:27You don't look like most folks.
20:29There's plenty of folks that look like me around these parts.
20:32Well, if the man in this picture was colored, maybe I'd remember him.
20:37Look, thank you for your time.
20:39So, I hear you like the jazz.
20:49It's my favorite.
20:51My dad got me the new Jelly Roll Morton as a welcome present.
20:54Hmm.
20:55Is that what you were listening to last night?
20:57How did you know?
20:58Ah, lucky guess.
21:00Are you enjoying living with your dad?
21:02It's good.
21:03You know, growing up, my family lived in two rooms.
21:10My father snored, my mother slept with the window open, and my little brother, well, he and I disagreed on just about everything.
21:19My dad and I get along great, but this new place is pretty small.
21:25I'm worried about making friends if I don't live on campus.
21:27Why don't we go to the school and see what we can do about that?
21:39I wondered the secretary at the tax office say it would take.
21:42She didn't, but I can't imagine putting together a list of Assisi's meetings in Chatham will take long.
21:48Jackson recognized him.
21:49I know it.
21:50He's involved somehow.
21:51You may be right.
21:54The telegram you're waiting on.
21:57I knew it.
21:59Assisi did an assessment of Jackson's land.
22:01If we can get a hold of his rifle, I can match the board.
22:02No, it's so fast.
22:04It says the main reason for Assisi's visit was to collect back taxes from Finley Engines.
22:09Do you know it?
22:10Yes.
22:10My mother works there as a cleaner.
22:12I met Mr. Finley yesterday.
22:13Then we won't need an introduction.
22:16Why should I do that?
22:18You know my mother, Lucille.
22:20She works here.
22:20I don't care who your mother is.
22:22I'm not sharing my financial data.
22:24All we're asking is whether you paid the taxes your company owed in the summer of 1905.
22:31Would I be here if I hadn't?
22:33It would help us to see proof.
22:35How can I be sure that you're officers of the law, as you say you are, and not rivals looking to take my company?
22:42You've seen my badge.
22:44Yes, a badge you may have found on the street for all I know.
22:47You have my word.
22:49Words are cheap.
22:50My answer is no.
22:53Now get out of my office.
22:56All right.
23:00Working on something fun?
23:01Ah.
23:02It's a design for a bunk bed.
23:05We can build it together tomorrow night.
23:08I've only seen those on trains.
23:10Well, this will be far more comfortable and sophisticated.
23:12If it works, as I intend, you'll be able to listen to your music as loud and as late as you like.
23:20Amazing.
23:22You don't have to go to all that trouble.
23:23Oh, no.
23:24It's no trouble.
23:27Why not?
23:28The inspector checked, and my room in the dormitory is still free.
23:32We can move in tomorrow.
23:33I don't know about this, Teddy.
23:42It'll be fine.
23:43The boss of the factory says Mr. Finley never comes in before nine.
23:46If anyone asks, just say you were cleaning the office.
23:48What we're looking for should be in the cabinet beside Finley's desk.
23:52Tax document, a receipt, anything to prove he paid back taxes in the summer of 1905.
23:56All right, all right.
23:57Wish me luck.
24:01She'll be fine.
24:02I hope so.
24:03Doing a little dirty work for your son, I see.
24:33I didn't see anything.
24:40I promise.
24:41I don't care.
24:45You're fired.
24:46Give me those keys.
24:47You can't do that.
24:48She was in there because of us.
24:50Well, then you should be glad I'm not calling the police.
24:52The real ones.
24:53I'm so sorry, Mom.
24:59No need to be sorry.
25:00I never liked that job much anyway.
25:02You don't have to pretend.
25:03Who's pretending?
25:05I've been wanting to do something other than clean for years.
25:07Maybe this is my chance.
25:08But that doesn't matter now.
25:11Teddy!
25:13We need to talk.
25:14And now's not a good time.
25:15My mother just lost her job.
25:16And I'm about to lose my land.
25:19Jackson's grumbling about canceling my lease thanks to the trouble you're stirring up.
25:22I'm going to make this right.
25:24For everybody.
25:24I promise.
25:25Yeah, how?
25:26What good is it being a cop if all you do is make things worse?
25:30Joe!
25:32Joe!
25:33He just needs to blow off steam.
25:36Me and him both.
25:37Teddy?
25:41Sorry, Mrs. Roberts.
25:43Don't be.
25:44There's something that I need to show you.
25:46I don't know what to do.
25:50Joe is furious.
25:52And my mother.
25:53They both know that you're trying to get justice for Richie.
25:56But what good is justice if it ruins everyone's life?
26:00There's always land needing farming and jobs to be done.
26:05Dinner's sorted.
26:07Are they still rooting it in the fields?
26:09Can't seem to stop.
26:10Gabe, honey, do you still need some extra hands in the office?
26:14Always.
26:15Why?
26:15You know someone?
26:16Teddy's mother.
26:17She's been working for Mr. Finley.
26:19I'm sorry to hear it.
26:20Gabe worked for him for a while.
26:23Taught me I didn't want to live my life behind a desk.
26:25Maybe you remember my mother, Lucille Roberts?
26:28Ah, that doesn't ring a bell.
26:30Gabe forget to tie his shoes if I didn't remind him.
26:34Well, I'm sure I can find something for your mother.
26:36You have her come by first thing next week.
26:38She'll see you then.
26:42I understand you've made arrangements for Harry to board?
26:45It was no trouble at all.
26:47Respectfully, I disagree.
26:49But the situation was untenable.
26:51Which is why I was in the process of remedying it.
26:54A bunk bed wouldn't make living in a tiny apartment any more comfortable.
26:57That is not for you to say.
26:59I miss living with my family.
27:04And now that Harry isn't across the Atlantic, I want him close.
27:08What would be helpful is if you would telephone the school and notify them that Harry will be living with his father as planned.
27:24That's wonderful.
27:31Gabe Devlin was always a kind young man.
27:34And a new job isn't the only good news of the morning.
27:37What's this?
27:39A receipt from the Ontario County's property tax office.
27:42I snuck it into my pocket before Mr. Finley threw me out.
27:45Mr. Finley paid Assisi in full.
27:47But Assisi's briefcase was empty.
27:49So we're back to theft as a motive?
27:50It stands to reason.
27:52But the list of people who knew a tax collector was in town is awfully short.
27:56Mr. Finley may be cruel, but if you ask me, he's no killer.
28:00I think it's time for another chat with Noah Jackson.
28:06I see you have an axe to grind, Mr. Jackson.
28:13I've got nothing more to say to you.
28:15We know Manfred Assisi came to see you in August of 1905.
28:19Yeah, so?
28:21So we found his remains on the land you leased to Joe Enns.
28:24I don't know nothing about that.
28:26I've got a good mind to take that land back with all this trouble.
28:30This isn't Joe's fault.
28:32We'll leave you alone as soon as you tell us what happened with Mr. Assisi.
28:37Man came to express my land.
28:40Said I owed $50.
28:41And you paid him?
28:42I don't keep that kind of cash lying around.
28:46Man told me to bring it to his lodgings that night, but he'd cleared out by the time I got there.
28:54Where were these lodgings?
28:59Manfred's dead.
29:01How?
29:02Manfred?
29:03You were on a first-name basis with a guest?
29:07Manfred was more than a guest.
29:08He...
29:09He...
29:10We were cordoned.
29:13Or we had him once.
29:15What on earth happened?
29:18We were hoping he would help us find that out.
29:21Do you know why he didn't spend the night here as you'd planned?
29:25Pride wouldn't let him.
29:27Not after...
29:28He proposed.
29:29Do you...
29:34Do you recognize this ring?
29:38Manfred had it made special for me.
29:41That symbol...
29:43That's the circle at all.
29:44It's meant to represent two souls becoming one.
29:48Something you weren't ready for?
29:51Ready or not, I couldn't say yes.
29:53My father wasn't more than six weeks in the grave.
29:56There's no way I'd have left my mother to run this place on her own.
29:59So, Mr. Assisi left?
30:02He said he'd catch the last train out of town.
30:05I offered him a ride to the station, but...
30:09He said he wanted to walk so as to enjoy the country air.
30:12The train station, that's...
30:15It's three miles that way.
30:18We should retrace the steps.
30:20Thank you for your time.
30:24And I'm sorry for your loss.
30:29I think you should have this.
30:41I'm glad to have one part of the mystery solved.
30:44The ring, you mean?
30:46At first, Joey thought Richie was going to give it the Minnie.
30:48But I thought that was crazy.
30:51Because you and Richie were close.
30:55He was my best friend.
30:59He must have been hard on you when he disappeared.
31:03I was mad.
31:05What kind of a friend just ups and leaves without telling you?
31:07If only I had been able to get over myself, I would have realized Richie wouldn't have done that.
31:14We can't help but see things through the veil of our emotions.
31:19But Detective Murdoch says to use reason.
31:20As police officers, yes, but you were young.
31:23And even if you hadn't been, you couldn't have known Richie would investigate those gunshots.
31:30Couldn't have prevented his death.
31:32Teddy, it's all right to be upset.
31:37It's not that.
31:39Joe's land is just beyond those trees.
31:41Which means...
31:42We could be standing in the spot where Mr. Assisi met his killer.
31:45Is someone shooting at us?
31:49Get down!
31:54This can't be a coincidence.
31:56The killer knows we're investigating.
31:58They're exposing themselves to what they're doing.
32:04What are you doing?
32:05Teddy!
32:06Gathering evidence.
32:0830.
32:0840.
32:09Crack.
32:10Same as the bullet on the top of Assisi's skull.
32:13Assisi wasn't on his knees.
32:15How do you know?
32:16Bullet hit the tree from an angle.
32:18Came from above.
32:20That's only possible if...
32:22I think there's a hunting line in those trees.
32:25Stay down!
32:26We're feet away from the killer.
32:28A killer who has a gun and isn't afraid to use it.
32:32I think they're gone.
32:33You think?
32:34Stay down, move fast, just in case I'm wrong.
32:40This is definitely where the shots came from.
32:44And look.
32:46Cracks.
32:47What is this?
32:49Manwell skin, perhaps?
32:50Feet peel.
32:52Right.
32:56Mini's husband, Gabe Devlin.
33:01He manages a bee processing plant.
33:02His shoes were filthy with them.
33:05And the rabbit.
33:07The rabbit?
33:08Shot one in his field.
33:11What reason would Gabe Devlin have had to kill Manfred Assisi?
33:15I have an idea.
33:27Louder!
33:29Louder!
33:31I can't hear a thing.
33:35The soundproof curtain actually works.
33:39That's amazing.
33:40At first I had my doubts that my invention would actually do the trick,
33:44but I believe this will do until we can move upstairs to a larger unit.
33:49That is, unless you were looking forward to living in the dormitories, Harry.
33:59Not exactly.
34:01It's just, there's so many things that the day students can't participate in.
34:05Oh?
34:06Such as?
34:07The jazz band, the drama clubs, hiking trips, the basketball team.
34:13Oh, did Mom tell you about the, uh, chemistry and physics clubs?
34:20I must confess, she did not.
34:23It all sounds so fun.
34:27Harry, pack your bags.
34:30What?
34:31I won't have you missing out on all of the opportunities that living in the dormitories can offer you.
34:37Are you sure?
34:39Yes.
34:40Upon one condition.
34:42Anything.
34:42On the weekends, you will come home and stay with your father.
34:52And thank you for my mother.
34:53She's thrilled to be working for you.
34:55Well, we can always use extra hands.
34:57And I think she'll have a better time of it than she did working for that penny pincher Finley.
35:03Please give her my thanks for this.
35:05Are you cooking that rabbit you shot for dinner?
35:08Minnie's in the kitchen right now.
35:09Oh, it smells incredible.
35:12My pops was a butcher, but I've never had rabbit.
35:19Well, why don't we remedy that?
35:21That sounds wonderful.
35:23All right.
35:27I wish I could cook it at the waiting.
35:30Two old friends.
35:36And new.
35:38You know, my mother remembers you from your time at Finley Vengeance.
35:45I wish I could cook it at the house.
35:47But she didn't tell me what it was you did at the company.
35:50This and that.
35:51I was in the office.
35:52Right.
35:53You said.
35:54And when was it that you left?
35:56Um, gosh.
35:58I can't remember exactly.
36:00You bought the farm in 06?
36:02Mm-hmm.
36:03What a thing.
36:03To buy property so young, Ed, the plant must have cost a pretty penny to build.
36:09I don't like to talk about money, but, um, certainly it wasn't cheap.
36:14How did you manage to do it?
36:16Gabe works so hard.
36:18I'm sure he does.
36:19But I am curious, especially given how penny-pinching Mr. Finley is.
36:23Why are you asking all this?
36:30You must have been drooling when Mr. Finley paid Mr. Assisi.
36:36All of that money.
36:40I have no idea what you're talking about.
36:44Who's Mr. Assisi?
36:46The tax collector you killed to buy this farm?
36:50I invite you into my home.
36:51You're paying me by accusing me of murder?
36:56My husband is no killer.
36:59Then why was this hidden in the back of your shed?
37:02Who the hell are you?
37:03Detective Llewellyn Watts.
37:04Now answer the question.
37:05It's for dealing with farm pests.
37:07Let me have a look.
37:11This doesn't take the caliber bullet they shot at Assisi.
37:14Or at us.
37:15Are you sure?
37:16It's too recent to model.
37:18Now that's over,
37:18why don't we all sit down,
37:21enjoy our meal.
37:22There's plenty to go around.
37:25That's lost my appetite.
37:28Look, Teddy,
37:29I'm sorry that some loud shot at you, okay?
37:31But it wasn't me.
37:32And it wasn't me who shot that tax man
37:34the night of the eclipse either,
37:35despite what you might think.
37:41Manny,
37:41there's another rifle.
37:55Where is it?
38:04Impressive.
38:05Oh, there's something the inspector showed me.
38:08Aukido.
38:09Aukido.
38:09Rifle.
38:12Right.
38:19This might be it.
38:25But why'd you?
38:27I never told Gabe about the eclipse.
38:30How could he have known
38:31that that was the night Mr. Assisi was killed
38:34if he wasn't there?
38:35Thank you, Manny.
38:43Winchester 1895.
38:46A good gun.
38:47It's chambered for a bunch of different bullets.
38:50Including Craig's?
38:51Yes.
38:53And the sulfur smell from the barrel
38:54says it's been used recently.
38:56That doesn't prove anything.
38:57Which is why I'm going to do
38:58ballistic finger marking.
38:59What is that?
39:01A forensic technique
39:02that matches bullets
39:04to the guns they were fired from.
39:06Shall we?
39:07Unless you have something to say.
39:13I didn't do it to steal the money.
39:15I did it because there wasn't any money left.
39:18And it was the only way
39:19to keep from getting caught.
39:20You'd already been stealing
39:22from Mr. Finley.
39:23Hey.
39:24He was paying me practically nothing.
39:26I deserved that money.
39:27And when Assisi showed up
39:29the coffers were dry.
39:30I held him off.
39:32Told him to come by the next day
39:34before he left town.
39:34And then you killed him
39:35before he could.
39:37But the receipt foraged.
39:40I had to cover my tracks
39:41with Finley and the tax office.
39:44But why did Richie have to die?
39:46Because he was standing over the body
39:48when I went back to bury it.
39:50And he had that damn ring.
39:53If I hadn't been there, who knows?
39:54Maybe he'd have given it to you.
40:01It's all right.
40:03It's all right.
40:07It was good to have you pay.
40:10Even though I cost you two jobs?
40:12Sure.
40:13I don't believe you have.
40:16Minnie intends to continue
40:17running the processing plant.
40:18Do you mean to say
40:20she expects you first thing
40:21tomorrow morning, Mrs. Roberts?
40:23Tomorrow?
40:25I've got nothing to wear.
40:29Thank goodness.
40:31I was feeling terrible
40:33leaving with her out of work.
40:35There's no need to rush back.
40:36We haven't had much of a holiday.
40:39That's all right.
40:40You lost a friend.
40:41You ought to take some time to...
40:43I don't want to.
40:44Which is exactly why you should.
40:47You're a good constable, Teddy.
40:50And you've got great instincts.
40:53We'll see you at the station house
40:54when you're ready to use them again.
40:58Would you take this?
40:59Did you get Harry settled in okay?
41:16How did you know?
41:20My acquaintance in admissions.
41:23You seem to have acquaintances
41:25in every corner of the city.
41:27I like to be social.
41:28It helps keep the pangs of loneliness
41:30from living a bachelor's life at bay.
41:32Thank you
41:36for seeing what I couldn't
41:39about Harry's living arrangements.
41:41It wasn't just Harry I was looking out for.
41:45I couldn't very well have my best detective
41:47laid up with a bad back for three months.
41:58Bless you, Richie.
41:59I miss him, too.
42:05Uh, what are you doing here?
42:10Yeah.
42:11I'm holding up, man, at the bargain.
42:13I mean, with old man Jackson
42:15about keeping that, uh,
42:17lease across the way.
42:19I-I promised to chase away trespassers
42:22whenever they came about.
42:24Starting tomorrow, I hope.
42:27Minnie.
42:29I-I'm-I'm so-
42:33Don't apologize.
42:35I'm glad to know the truth
42:37about the man that I married
42:38and about what happened to Richie.
42:44I can't believe he's gone.
42:48Like, really gone.
42:50You know, I always had my eye out for him
42:56and Toronto.
42:58I figured he'd find his way up north somehow.
43:02North would never satisfy that mind of his.
43:05Too long.
43:09What do you think he'd be doing
43:10if he were still alive?
43:18He'd be here.
43:20With us.
43:22Looking up at the sky.
43:23Good night.
43:45Good night.
