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