00:30You got it?
00:38I'm not being unreasonable.
00:40I just don't like him.
00:41Yes, you said.
00:43And it's not just because you took my job.
00:45Charlie, at risk of repeating myself,
00:47it wasn't officially your job. You were only...
00:49Acting Detective Inspector. Yeah, yeah, I know.
00:52It's got nothing to do with that.
00:53Really?
00:55I'm allowed to dislike people, you know.
01:00Especially when they take my job.
01:12Morning, Inspector.
01:14Good morning.
01:18Are we ready?
01:19Yes, Inspector Blake.
01:20All right, let's go.
01:30Police! Open the door!
01:39Good morning.
01:41Wait.
01:48Always best to check.
01:50Spread out. Two men to a room.
02:08I care what you say.
02:09I think he's impressive.
02:11Of course you do.
02:12Do you notice he spent two years in Hong Kong?
02:14He speaks fluent Mandarin.
02:15Oh, and that'll come in useful.
02:17And I believe he's served in many different parts of the world.
02:19Stop.
02:22What is it?
02:23Nothing.
02:24I just want you to stop talking.
02:26You don't have to stop.
02:30Good morning.
02:31Come on, you don't have it up.
02:32Come on you don't have it up.
02:45Come on, you don't have it up.
02:47Okay.
02:48We're doing it.
02:49Split up, take a roof each.
02:51We've searched the premises, sir. I'm afraid we can find no...
03:21I don't know.
03:51I don't know.
04:21I don't know.
04:51I don't know.
05:01Police! Stop where you are.
05:09Miss Scarlet.
05:10Inspector Blake.
05:11I can explain.
05:15I can explain.
05:16I can explain.
05:21I can explain.
05:27I can explain.
05:29I can explain.
05:31I can explain.
05:33I can explain.
05:34I can explain.
05:43I can explain.
05:44I can explain.
05:45I can explain.
05:46I can explain.
05:47I can explain.
05:48I can explain.
05:49I can explain.
05:50I can explain.
05:51I can explain.
05:52I can explain.
05:53I can explain.
05:54I can explain.
05:55I can explain.
05:56I can explain.
05:57I can explain.
05:58I can explain.
05:59I can explain.
06:00I can explain.
06:01I can explain.
06:02I can explain.
06:03I can explain.
06:05I can explain.
06:08So can I explain myself now?
06:10I don't know, can you?
06:14Before I begin, I'd like you to keep an open mind.
06:17What I'm about to tell you will help you solve the murder.
06:21Miss Scarlet.
06:25We've known each other for less than two weeks,
06:27and in that brief period of time, I have made it abundantly clear that I do not need your help.
06:31Really?
06:32So you notice that the victim's body is in the second stage of rigor mortis, suggesting...
06:36A time of death between two o'clock and six o'clock this morning, yes, I noticed.
06:40And the lack of defence wounds on his arms?
06:42Suggest a sudden attack rather than a prolonged struggle, this I already know.
06:46What I don't know is how you ended up in a locked room with a dead man.
06:51It's... complicated.
06:53Eliza Scarlet, I'm arresting you on suspicion of murder.
06:55All right, all right. It's not that complicated.
06:58I know his name.
07:01The dead man.
07:02And I don't think you do.
07:06I thought not.
07:09I also know who put that knife in his chest and will gladly tell you here and now,
07:12but if you insist on wasting time by taking me to Scotland Yard,
07:15logging my arrest to the duty sergeant,
07:17putting me in a cell until you can find an available interview room,
07:19then please be my guest.
07:24Start at the beginning.
07:25Every detail, no matter how small.
07:27It all began a month ago.
07:31This is before you'd taken up your current position.
07:37Things have been going well for my agency,
07:39both in terms of quantity and quality of cases.
07:42Extremely well, actually.
07:43As such, I was able to rehire a former associate,
07:48a chartered accountant with an unrivaled knowledge of civil and criminal law,
07:52my esteemed colleague, Mr. Clarence Pettigrew.
07:56Alongside a variety of private clients,
07:58we'd also been enjoying the patronage of Scotland Yard,
08:00thanks to an ongoing relationship with Detective Phelps.
08:03Miss Scarlet!
08:05Clarence!
08:05I do hope I'm not interrupting,
08:09but I require your help on a most intriguing case.
08:13One that is tailor-made for your extraordinary talents.
08:19Stop right there.
08:21What?
08:22I'm quite sure Detective Phelps has never been that polite to anyone.
08:26Not even his own mother.
08:28And as for your esteemed colleague, Mr. Clarence Pettigrew,
08:32he's a convicted felon who served 18 months for fraud.
08:34I believe everyone deserves a second chance.
08:36As do I.
08:38So please, begin again, and this time with the actual truth.
08:42Not some version of it designed to paint you in a favourable light.
08:45I resent the accusation.
08:47Hmm.
08:54Very well.
08:55Although, for the record,
08:57Mr. Pettigrew and I were at work
08:59and we did receive a visit from Detective Phelps.
09:02Although I may have overplayed the likeness of his mood.
09:04Right, shut up and listen.
09:07I don't want to be here any longer than I have to.
09:09I've got five men off sick, twice the normal caseload,
09:12and I've not slept in a week
09:13because my missus has just given birth.
09:15Again.
09:16May I offer my congratulations?
09:18Only if you want a slap.
09:21This is yours if you want it.
09:25You wish to hire us?
09:27If you ask me, it's a wild goose chase.
09:29Total waste of time.
09:30But it's one more thing to get off my desk.
09:33Lord Spencer Bowden, 4th Earl of Cheshire.
09:47He went missing some 12 years ago
09:49after being accused of murdering his lover.
09:51I remember this.
09:52This was quite the scandal at the time.
09:54The newspapers ran with it for weeks.
09:56She was his housemaid, wasn't she?
09:59He stabbed her through the heart.
10:01Warrants were issued for his arrest,
10:02but he was never found.
10:04Well, a man with that kind of money
10:05can disappear off the face of the earth.
10:06There have been sightings of him
10:07from Edinburgh to Cornwall,
10:09even the West Indies and Canada,
10:11but nothing that has resulted in an arrest.
10:14So what's changed?
10:15Well, apparently he's been spotted again,
10:17this time in London.
10:18Well, if he's evaded capture this long,
10:20he may well be moving his money
10:22across international borders.
10:23I'll see if I can find a trail.
10:26I'll pay a visit to our eyewitness, Amelia Bowden.
10:29His wife?
10:30His daughter.
10:37I had hoped to receive a visit
10:39from the police themselves.
10:41My agency has been hired by Scotland Yard,
10:44but I assure you we work
10:46to the highest professional standards.
10:48I suppose you cannot do any worse.
10:52It has been 12 years since Edith was murdered
10:55and the police have still not found my father.
10:57Edith was your housemaid.
10:58I'm sure you know the whole depraved story,
11:02just like the rest of the world.
11:04Do you believe your father's guilty?
11:09I do.
11:12That man caused so much pain to so many.
11:17His actions drove my poor mother to an early grave.
11:20God rest her soul.
11:22Forgive me.
11:23There's no need to apologise, Miss Bowden.
11:30You filed a report with the police a few days ago
11:33saying that you'd seen your father.
11:35It was Sunday morning.
11:37I was leaving the house to attend a sermon at St. Luke's.
11:42When I saw him, right across the street,
11:47our eyes met for a brief moment.
11:49I was overcome by anger and I cannot deny a little fear.
11:58I came inside to regain my composure,
12:01but when I looked again from the drawing room window,
12:04he had gone.
12:05And you're sure it was him?
12:06He is my father, Miss Scarlet, I am sure.
12:11And have you had any other contact with him
12:12in the time that he's been missing?
12:14There have been letters asking for money,
12:16but they were fraudulent,
12:18pretending to be my father.
12:20His notoriety is widespread,
12:23as is the shame he has brought on our family.
12:27He made us pariahs,
12:30destroyed our name,
12:32our reputation.
12:32You must find him
12:35before he does more harm.
12:54I thought shepherd's pie for tea.
12:59Fine.
12:59I'll talk to myself then.
13:01How are you, Ivy?
13:02A bit tired, actually.
13:04Been on my feet all day,
13:05but thanks for asking.
13:08Sorry.
13:10I was miles away.
13:12Yes, I gathered that.
13:13So, shepherd's pie?
13:16You're more than welcome to make something else.
13:19That'd be lovely, thank you.
13:21Oh, I almost forgot.
13:23This came for you today.
13:26Postmarks from New York.
13:27Well, aren't you good to eat it?
13:32Yes.
13:33In private.
13:41Very well.
13:43I failed to see the relevance of this.
13:48Well, you asked for every detail.
13:50Every detail related to the case.
13:51What is this letter to do with anything?
13:55Well, the letter was from your predecessor,
13:57Inspector Wellington.
13:59In it, he stated that he'd been offered
14:00a permanent position in the New York Police Department
14:03and withered a promotion to superintendent.
14:06A position he'd never be offered in London,
14:07so it was good news indeed.
14:11Why was he writing to you?
14:14Well, we're, um...
14:16We're old friends.
14:17Which was why I was so pleased for him.
14:19In fact, I was more than pleased for him.
14:20I was delighted.
14:24I don't believe you.
14:27Well, Inspector Wellington and I are old friends.
14:29Of course I was delighted for him.
14:30I don't believe you know anything
14:31that can help with this investigation.
14:33I think you're stalling for time.
14:37I'm not entirely sure why.
14:40Yet.
14:41I'm taking you to Scotland Yard.
14:43We'll start with obstruction of justice
14:44and go from there.
14:45The dead man's name is Jonathan Harbourn.
14:49He lives at 215 Cable Street.
14:53If you send someone to that address,
14:54you'll find proof of his identity.
14:56215 Cable Street.
14:58Hmm.
14:59Detective Fitzroy.
15:01Sir.
15:04I need to go stretch this address.
15:06Yes, sir.
15:07Take Irwin and Phelps with him
15:08and report back immediately with your findings.
15:10Yes, sir.
15:10Of course, sir.
15:11Oh, Lizzie.
15:17I wish there was something I could say
15:19to make it feel better.
15:25There's...
15:26There's nothing to say.
15:29He's not coming back.
15:30Do you remember what your father used to say?
15:39Only hopeless people cry.
15:42And you're not without hopeless him.
15:45You've a whole future, Heather, you.
15:49He always used to say that...
15:52No more tears or there'd be no supper.
15:54But there always was.
16:00Oh, Lizzie.
16:01Oh, God.
16:11Oh, my God.
16:12Oh, my God.
16:14Oh, my God.
16:16Oh, my God.
16:21Oh, my God.
16:23Clarence, I thought you had the day off.
16:49Yes, I had a plan, too,
16:52but circumstances change,
16:55as they are wont to do.
17:00Is everything all right?
17:03I heard the news about Inspector Wellington,
17:05and I thought that today, of all days,
17:08was not the time for you to be in the office alone.
17:09Have you spoken to you?
17:11Clarence, I'm perfectly well.
17:13Yes, yes, yes.
17:13You will say that you are fine,
17:14but we both know that that is not true.
17:17And so I've given this a great deal of thought,
17:20and it is my belief that at this moment in time,
17:24company may be of some degree of comfort to you.
17:33Quiet.
17:34It's even silent, company,
17:36since I'm a man who is at a loss to know what to say
17:39when it comes to matters of the heart.
17:45In fact, I'm rather out of my depth even expressing this much.
17:53Well, in that case, thank you, Clarence.
17:57Well, there was something I wanted to talk to you about.
18:04Oh, God.
18:06It's not that.
18:09It's about Detective Phelps.
18:12He hired us to work the Bowdoin case,
18:13but he was only over a temporary appointment.
18:16And now that Inspector Wellington will not be returning,
18:18it's my belief that Charlie Phelps
18:20will be replaced by a permanent candidate.
18:22And you worry that the new man will take us off the case?
18:24Exactly.
18:25So we need to find out who's going to replace Phelps,
18:28but who might know that?
18:30I can think of one person.
18:46Still can't believe you're allowed to use this office.
18:48Well, I'm not exactly allowed.
18:51In fact, the governor has no idea.
18:52It's through a little financial arrangement I have with the warden here.
18:56You have a warden in your pay?
18:59You go to prison for that, Patrick.
19:03So how are you, Liza?
19:04I'm here because I need your brain.
19:07My brain is always at your disposal.
19:09You know that?
19:12Inspector Wellington won't be returning from New York.
19:14So I hear.
19:21And I wish to know who will be his permanent replacement.
19:26I doubt very much it'll be Phelps.
19:28Your instincts are correct.
19:32The smart money is on a detective inspector from Bristol
19:35by the name of Alexander Blake.
19:40Not too much is known about him,
19:41but he has an excellent reputation.
19:44Hard-working.
19:45Honest.
19:46All the worst things a man can be.
19:48He's ex-army.
19:50Officer.
19:51Served all around the Empire.
19:52Oh, and there's something else.
19:54Something you will not like.
19:56Go on.
19:56He doesn't use private detectives.
19:59He halved the crime rate in Bristol
20:01just by using his own men.
20:03Saved the city of fortunes.
20:04You can see why the commissioner likes him still.
20:07If anyone can change his mind.
20:11Well, I'll see what I can do.
20:13That was most helpful.
20:14Thank you, Patrick.
20:16Hmm.
20:17He asked you to join him in New York, didn't he?
20:21Your inspector.
20:22But if he'd gone, it would have been as his wife.
20:28A superintendent can't have a wife
20:29who's a private detective.
20:31You'd have been forced to give up
20:32everything you've worked so hard for.
20:38You know so much.
20:39Why are you in prison?
20:42It's a question I ask myself every day.
20:44Okay.
20:52I sent Detective Fitzroy to the dead man's house.
20:57Is there anyone else at those premises
20:58that could pose a threat?
20:59No.
21:01Not that I'm aware of.
21:09You were telling me of Inspector Wellington's departure
21:13and how it connects to this case?
21:14I was contracted by Detective Phelps
21:19to find the fugitive Lord Bowden
21:21and when Detective Phelps was replaced by you
21:23I wished to know if that contract was still valid.
21:25Which is why I came to see you at Scotland Yard.
21:28I assume you remember.
21:31Oh, I remember.
21:31Oh, good morning, Eliza.
21:44Good morning.
21:46I trust you're well?
21:48I'm quite well, thank you.
21:49What brings you here?
21:50Oh, I wish to see Inspector Blake.
21:52I believe he begins work today.
21:53Yes, that's correct.
21:54Um, just before you go in...
21:56Oliver, please.
21:59I will miss Inspector Wellington.
22:01I will miss him very much
22:03as I'm sure you will too.
22:04But he's made his decision to stay in New York
22:08and we must respect that.
22:11I thank you for your kindness
22:12but as I said, I'm quite well.
22:14I was actually just going to say
22:15Inspector Blake is in a different office.
22:18You'll find it upstairs in the first floor.
22:21Oh.
22:23Well.
23:26Inspector Blake, I presume.
23:28May I congratulate you on your new position?
23:31From what I hear, it's well-deserved.
23:33And you are?
23:36My name's Miss Eliza Scarlet.
23:38I've come to update you on the Lord Bowden case.
23:42I was hired by Scotland Yard to investigate the recent sighting.
23:45You work for a detective agency?
23:47I own a detective agency.
23:48I hope this might be a good opportunity to outline the history of my working relationship with your predecessors.
23:59In here are numerous case reports, letters of reference, and, as you see, newspaper clippings showing the investigations that I've helped to solve.
24:08I'm afraid you're wasting your time. I do not engage the services of private detectives.
24:11Well, may I at least present the progress I've made on the Bowden case?
24:14There is no need.
24:15My officers will deal with it. However, if you have a contract, you will be paid for your work so far.
24:19But that is all.
24:21Good day.
24:22I'm sure it would take anyone time to understand the unique challenges that the city presents.
24:37So, while you're finding your feet, why not turn to those who've been working here for some time?
24:43That is a fair point, and I will take it under consideration.
24:47Should I change my mind, I will contact you immediately.
24:48Are you just saying that so that I leave?
24:53Yes.
24:58Miss?
25:01Scarlett, as I've already said.
25:04Miss Scarlett, I have found through bitter experience that private investigators do not compare to professional police officers.
25:11I do not trust them. I do not use them. I do not need them.
25:15It's not my intention to be rude.
25:18You're doing a wonderful job of it.
25:20Please shut the door on the way out.
25:32As its first visits go, I must confess it was not ideal.
25:35Not unless you planned to irritate and insult me.
25:38I didn't insult you.
25:39My mistake. It must have been the other female detective I spoke to that day.
25:42I assume there's a reason you're telling me all this.
25:52Given I was present.
25:57I severed your contract, so you were determined to find a clue that proved I'd been short-sighted
26:02and would be compelled to rehire you on the case?
26:06Something like that.
26:09Go on.
26:09The day after we met, I went to visit Amelia Bowden again, which is when I learned about the break-in.
26:19When did this happen?
26:21Last night.
26:22I came home to find the house had been ransacked.
26:25I have been waiting for the police all morning, but they are yet to arrive.
26:30What's been taken?
26:31Oh, family silver, jewellery, works of art.
26:37Oh, God.
26:39He even took my mother's wedding rig.
26:42He?
26:44My father.
26:47This is why he came back.
26:49He has no doubt run out of money and now has to resort to stealing from his own flesh and blood.
26:54Are you sure it was your father?
26:57There is a safe in what used to be his study.
27:00It was opened using the combination lock.
27:03You said you were out at the time of the robbery where your servants are at home.
27:11These days I have only a single housemaid.
27:14She does not wish to live on the premises.
27:17She's superstitious.
27:20My father committed murder in the servant's bedroom.
27:23Some stolen items, some family silver, jewellery, artwork by Gainsborough.
27:53Mmm.
27:56Let's head back to the office.
27:58Work out our next steps.
28:00We need a plan.
28:01There's nothing I like more than a plan.
28:03You and me both, Clarence.
28:05That and a good to-do list.
28:07Oh, yes.
28:08That too.
28:10So, poor Bowden needs money quickly.
28:15Well, he could make inquiries on the less salubrious end of the pawn shop market.
28:19No, no.
28:19Poor Bowden won't go to any pawn shop.
28:21He needs serious money.
28:22The pawn shop will offer you a fifth of the face value, and that's if you're lucky.
28:25But there are places you could get a lot more.
28:29And you know of such a place?
28:31I might, but...
28:33Well, it's not the kind of place I'm used to going to personally.
28:37I'm sure it'll be fine.
28:38How bad can it be?
28:38A client of Mr. Nash told me about this place.
28:46I didn't realize it was quite so earthy.
28:49There is a coded message we need to give in order to gain entry.
28:53I think I can remember it.
28:55You think?
28:56Good evening.
28:58Good evening.
28:59I'm a friend of Juan Zenglin, and I have a gift for his daughter.
29:09Not his daughter.
29:11His sister.
29:16His aunt.
29:17This should be enough for the whole family.
29:32Very fetching.
29:34Shall we?
29:35It's what you might call a specialist auction.
29:47No questions asked of buyers or sellers, and the clientele have some serious money.
29:53If I were Lord Bowden, this is where I'd come.
29:58Even with the masks, it's an awful risk for him to show up in person.
30:02Unless he's desperate.
30:03Do you have a photograph?
30:05No.
30:06Not a recent one.
30:08He's been gone for 12 years.
30:10Makes a nice change from being in the office, doesn't it?
30:13I must confess I'm enjoying it rather more than I thought I would.
30:23Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
30:27And thank you for coming to what may be our most intriguing event for some time.
30:33Let us begin with lot number one.
30:38Lot 14 is at £120 any more.
30:46Sold for £120.
30:49That's 14 lots.
30:50Still nothing.
30:51What if Lord Bowden hasn't even heard of this place?
30:56If nothing turns out, maybe we should go and talk to the auctioneer, see what he knows.
31:01That's an excellent idea, Clarence.
31:04I do.
31:05Thanks, Eliza.
31:06Next, we come to lot 15.
31:11An exquisite solid silver Robert Kane carving set with an array of jewellery with verified artwork from Mr. Thomas Gainsborough.
31:23I mean, he bowed into some of the pieces stolen in the baggings where this could be it.
31:27Due to the unique nature of these items, the bidding will open at £600.
31:35£600.
31:36Thank you, sir.
31:37Any more of £600?
31:39£605.
31:40If he's here, he may give himself away.
31:43£610.
31:43£615.
31:48£615.
31:49Is that him?
31:50I'm not sure, but he doesn't look familiar, even with the mask.
31:53£625.
31:55There's something about him.
31:56Can we do any more?
31:57I can't put my finger on it.
31:58£625.
32:00£640.
32:01There.
32:02£640.
32:02See?
32:03See what, exactly?
32:04He's involved in this, I can sense it.
32:05Any more?
32:07What's his reaction when the bidding goes up?
32:09£700.
32:10£700.
32:11Any more?
32:12£700.
32:15Any more on £700?
32:18Going once.
32:21Going twice.
32:24£750.
32:27A most generous offer from the lady at the back.
32:31£750.
32:32Do I hear?
32:34£760.
32:34May I ask a question?
32:36Yes.
32:37What happens if you win?
32:39The bidding is at £750 from the lady at the back.
32:43£750.
32:45Going once.
32:48Going twice.
32:50Solved.
32:51For the lady at the back.
32:55I take it you don't have £750 on you?
32:59Not exactly.
33:00Police!
33:05Police!
33:17Stop!
33:18Stop!
33:18Who the hell are you?
33:29Can I ask you the same question?
33:34No, don't, no, please.
33:37I can expect you're making a mistake.
33:40I'm working for Scotland Yard.
33:50I shouldn't be here.
33:51I want to take care of every person's name and country.
34:02Do you know what I'm doing?
34:06Put them in the wagon.
34:08Take them to Scotland Yard.
34:08Yes, sir.
34:10Seriously.
34:11Sir.
34:12Yes.
34:15Miss Scarlett.
34:19What are you doing here?
34:22Well, the same as you, no doubt.
34:24But I now have information that's vital to this case.
34:27Which is?
34:28I just don't feel inclined to share it.
34:31Not unless you honour our original agreement and hire my agency.
34:35That's black, man.
34:35That's business.
34:36Not for you, it isn't.
34:42The man who is here to sell the stolen goods...
34:45It wasn't Lord Bowden.
34:51Did you see him?
34:54Perhaps I did, perhaps I didn't.
35:08The man I saw run away isn't any of these.
35:11You sure?
35:13Certain.
35:15I didn't recognise him.
35:16I just wish I could remember from where.
35:19You're persistent, Miss Scarlett.
35:20I'll give you that.
35:24Even your compliments sound like insults.
35:28It's quite a skill.
35:30Could I ask you something?
35:34Why don't I hire private detectives?
35:42I have had numerous bad experiences over the years.
35:47I hired one firm who were working for myself and the criminals I was investigating.
35:51Another had found key evidence and withheld it for weeks to bump up their final fee.
35:55I could give you countless other examples, but the point is, I do not respect the profession.
36:02There are exceptions in every line of word.
36:04Such as yourself.
36:06There's much about me that you don't know.
36:08I know enough.
36:11And what have you gleaned from the two occasions that we've met?
36:15That you're ambitious and determined.
36:16You'd have to be to get this far.
36:20You believe the ends justify the means, and as such, you're willing to bend the truth to get what you want.
36:27And on the frequent occasions when you do lie, you give yourself away with a distinct tell.
36:33I do not have a tell.
36:35You affect a frown before you speak.
36:38As if you were lost in thought.
36:41Searching for the right turn of phrase, when in fact you know exactly what it is you're going to say.
36:44Interesting.
36:48Wrong.
36:50Not interesting.
36:51Anything else?
36:53The pockets on the side of your dress.
36:56You use them as a psychological crutch.
36:59When you stand with your hands inside them as a man might, it projects an outer confidence which often you do not feel on the inside.
37:12You'll allow me to reply in kind.
37:15Be my guest.
37:18You moved your office from downstairs.
37:20Simple, but effective show of dominance making people have to walk upstairs to see you.
37:26Dominance.
37:27Mr. Darwin would be impressed.
37:31But sadly you're wrong.
37:32No, I just prefer the view from here.
37:35You can see the Thames and St. Paul's.
37:37You have an impressive array of classic novels.
37:45Dickens, Hardy, Tolstoy.
37:49From the pristine condition of the covers I say that you don't return to them often.
37:52You read for self-improvement, not for pleasure.
37:57With one exception.
37:59Treasure Island.
38:02Clearly a favoured term suggesting a hidden desire for adventure and escapism.
38:06That's not mine.
38:14Have I offended in some way?
38:15I don't think anything I said was anything.
38:17Go through the mug shots again from the beginning.
38:18He may have missed something.
38:19But the man I saw isn't in there, I'm certain.
38:23Then we have no further business.
38:26Good night, Miss Garland.
38:27After the rather unceremonious way you bid me goodnight,
38:52I went back to my office to consult the Boden file.
38:54I felt sure I was missing something, and indeed I was.
39:00The man we were trying to identify that night
39:02is the same man who lies dead upstairs with a knife in his heart.
39:05Jonathan Harbourn.
39:06There's a reason why I couldn't find him amongst your mug shots.
39:09He had no criminal record, but now I know where I've seen him for.
39:12He was in the case file.
39:15Jonathan Harbourn was Lord Bowden's valet.
39:21When Detective Fitzroy returns,
39:23no doubt he'll confirm it.
39:26There are photographs and correspondence
39:29between the two men at Harbourn's house.
39:34But in the meantime,
39:36I imagine you'd like to know who the killer is.
39:40Shall we?
39:44Come along.
39:45Come along.
39:45Come along.
39:45Come along.
39:53After the murder of their housemaid,
39:55Lord Bowden fled, taking most of his fortune with him.
39:59His wife and daughter were forced to dismiss most of their servants,
40:03including Jonathan Harbourn.
40:05How did you know he was here?
40:07Well, my colleague Clarence was also at the underground auction
40:11when you carried out your raid.
40:15He was able to escape by a side exit.
40:22And when he found himself outside,
40:27he saw Jonathan Harbourn running off.
40:32He followed him to that address at Cable Street,
40:35the same address that I gave you earlier.
40:38And in searching that property,
40:39we found details of this abandoned building.
40:41I assume it was his backup plan
40:43should he need somewhere to hide.
40:47All of which led us here.
40:50Where we found him dead.
40:55The knife,
40:57you will have noticed,
40:58is made of pure silver.
41:01The hallmark on the side reads,
41:04City of London, 1836,
41:06Robert Kane,
41:07a well-renowned silversmith.
41:08Does that hallmark sound familiar to you?
41:12It matches the dining set stolen from the Bowdoin residence.
41:15Stolen items that were never sold
41:16thanks to the raid you carried out at the auction.
41:19The silver dining set,
41:20the jewellery,
41:21everything was returned to its original owner.
41:23Amelia Bowdoin.
41:25She arranged for Harbourn to burgle her house.
41:28Presumably he'd be paid from the auction proceeds.
41:31I can only imagine that they fell out somehow.
41:34Perhaps he was blackmailing her,
41:35but it was Amelia Bowdoin
41:36who thrust that knife into his chest.
41:38I don't believe that her father
41:41had anything to do with this.
41:44I suspect she used his name as a smokescreen
41:46to hide her own involvement.
41:51My colleague Clarence left here
41:52shortly before you arrived.
41:55He hired two associates
41:56who are more versed in the physical side of our business,
41:59and by now they will have apprehended Miss Bowdoin
42:01and taken her to Scotland Yard.
42:04In fact, they may even be there already,
42:06so we should make our way back there now.
42:08I assume you have a carriage outside.
42:11Amelia Bowdoin is indeed at Scotland Yard,
42:13but she did not arrive with your Mr. Pettigrew.
42:15I arrested her at six o'clock this morning,
42:19two hours before I came here.
42:21What?
42:22Allow me to explain.
42:26After the raid on the auction,
42:28the question was who to interview first.
42:30As I'm sure you know,
42:32some men will not talk no matter
42:33what they're threatened with.
42:35You can waste hours and days
42:37only to be met with a wall of silence.
42:38But there are others
42:41who would sell their own children
42:42to stay out of prison.
42:45I shouldn't be here.
42:49I often find the way to make people talk
42:53is to do very little talking myself.
43:00I don't know anything about Lord Bowdoin.
43:04All the sellers at the auction are anonymous.
43:08Oh, well, we give them numbers, of course, so...
43:11So all I know is the man you're looking for
43:14is number 15.
43:20I wish I could be more helpful.
43:22I really do, but that's all I know.
43:30I suppose there are some people I could ask.
43:33I suppose there are some people I could ask.
43:38I will make some inquiries
43:40and come back next week.
43:45In a few days?
43:52Tomorrow night?
43:53That would be most appreciated.
43:55All right, but not here.
43:56My life would not be worth living
43:58if people knew I was a snitch.
43:59Mr. Grint arranged to meet me
44:07the following night in a local public house
44:09where the beer is most certainly watered down.
44:13He had made contact with the man in question.
44:16You sure it was him?
44:19Where'd you find him?
44:20He found me.
44:22He wanted to know where the next auction was.
44:25He said he had more things to sell.
44:26So I told him in a month or so.
44:29Did he give a name?
44:31No, but...
44:32Whilst we were talking,
44:34we were interrupted by a lady.
44:36Well-spoken, rich.
44:38She said she'd followed him.
44:41She was quite upset and angry.
44:43But they didn't really...
44:44They were not speaking in front of me
44:45so they went outside.
44:47But I followed them.
44:52And?
44:52And they were arguing.
44:54She accused him of stealing her things
44:56and demanded them back.
44:58She said the agreement was off.
45:00Well, the old man just laughed
45:01and said that he was going to sell them
45:03whether she liked it or not.
45:05But this time he was going to...
45:06He was going to keep all the money to himself.
45:09And there was nothing she could do about it.
45:12Can you describe this one, man?
45:13It was Amelia Bowden.
45:19Which also matched up
45:20with my other line of inquiry.
45:22One which I'm certain
45:22your Mr. Pettigrew would have discovered.
45:24Well, that she recently renewed
45:25her insurance policy
45:26for three times the previous value.
45:29The police raid on the auction
45:30meant Miss Bowden
45:30received all her possessions back.
45:32But Harbourn wasn't happy
45:33that the deal hadn't come to fruition
45:35so he stalled them from her again
45:36to sell elsewhere.
45:38And like he said this time
45:38he intended to keep all the money himself.
45:41But Miss Bowden got her revenge.
45:42We raided her house at dawn.
45:47The housemaid told us
45:48she'd been out late last night
45:49and had come back
45:50in an agitated state.
45:54Sir.
45:56A pair of bloodied gloves
45:57were found at her property.
46:02She was arrested
46:03and taken straight to Scotland Yard.
46:05How did you find out about this place?
46:08She confessed.
46:09Hasn't said a word.
46:10There's a hackney carriage stand
46:13around the corner from her home.
46:15We spoke to a driver
46:16who picked her up late last night.
46:18He told us about this address.
46:20Miss Bowden knew Harbourn
46:21used this place
46:22to hide stolen goods
46:23so she came here to find him
46:24and, well, the rest you know.
46:26I take it you closed the door
46:31to the attic
46:32to delay my finding you.
46:33Well, I had hoped
46:34to give Clarence a head start
46:36but now I realise
46:37it was all a waste of time.
46:38Not completely.
46:39I didn't know the identity
46:40of Jonathan Harbourn.
46:43You'd have found out soon enough.
46:45Perhaps.
46:48What happens now?
46:49Will I be charged
46:50with obstruction of justice?
46:51There will be no charge.
46:54This time.
46:55Sir.
46:56Right, this side first, please.
46:59Let me know if you need more light.
47:01There are details on the murder weapon
47:02that need to be clear.
47:08If you wouldn't mind.
47:34Ivy.
48:00Ivy?
48:01Ivy?
49:31I see more of you now than I did when I was a free man.
49:37Surely you have better place to be.
49:40Sadly not.
49:41Well, I was supposed to be playing poker with a rather odd fellow on D-Block.
49:51Although probably best to cancel.
49:53I'm not entirely sure what he's in for.
49:55I heard about the Bowdoin investigation.
50:04Is that what's troubling you?
50:08There'll be other cases.
50:10You'll get by, you always do.
50:11I'm not interested in getting by.
50:19Getting by isn't enough.
50:20Not anymore.
50:23These two have been worthwhile.
50:26What does?
50:27All of it, Patrick.
50:37If I have to live a life alone, then...
50:40I need to excel in my chosen profession and have some lasting success.
50:44Otherwise, what has it all been for?
50:46I don't know what you're going to say.
50:50You do?
50:51Well, there are plenty of married people with families who are also lonely.
50:55Well, I wasn't going to say that, but it is a valid point.
50:57The journey to success will always be more fulfilling than reaching the destination.
51:01I wasn't going to say that either, but I really wish I had.
51:04I probably shouldn't think about it too much, because no one is satisfied all the time.
51:08I really do need to start writing this down.
51:13What were you going to say, then?
51:15That perhaps you should set your sights on short-term goals.
51:18Such as?
51:21Getting drunk and playing poker.
51:24Is that the best you have to offer?
51:26You might win.
51:26Only if you let me shuffle the deck.
51:36Are you insinuating that I would cheat somehow?
51:38Yes, Patrick.
51:40Yes, I am.
51:41Hmm.
