00:02Tommy Racket Reed.
00:04Amy Sloddack, what a sight for sore eyes.
00:06Sore eyes, no ear trumpet?
00:08I'm old Tom.
00:09Nobody expects me to hear them.
00:12Good ear.
00:13Long time since we've had one of these retreats.
00:15Yes, not since Garretton died.
00:18You know, it's his widow we have to thank for the use of his hunting lodge.
00:20For old time's sake, apparently.
00:22I'm surprised about that.
00:23Because she never seemed too keen on these inspector get-togethers.
00:26Yeah, well, maybe she's sopping with the old age.
00:28And Neil Moser sent through the invites.
00:30He even arranged for a car to take us up to Muskoka.
00:32No bloody Moser.
00:33Who else is coming?
00:34There's George Washburn, Ed Cleesby.
00:37Lester Dodds.
00:38Well, it gives us an excuse to get out of the house.
00:41Be amongst nature with the lots.
00:42You're telling me?
00:43Unlike yourself, Tom.
00:44The rest of us are already retired and at home with our wives.
00:47You know, it's like, we need nature.
00:49I hear that.
00:51Oh, I will miss my new dog, though.
00:53Gorgeous creature.
00:55Beautiful.
00:57Linfield, sirs.
00:58Station Hust 1.
00:59I'm your driver.
00:59Ah.
01:00Not seeing you before, Linfield.
01:02How long have you been on the job?
01:03Six months.
01:04Ooh, long enough to see a thing or two.
01:05Nothing too dramatic yet, sir.
01:07I did help an elderly lady recover a stolen handbag, but turns out she just dropped it.
01:12Well, give it time, lad.
01:13No lack of evil lurking in Toronto the good.
01:17Toronto the good.
01:19Ha!
01:20Ha!
01:20Ha!
01:22Ha!
01:22Ha!
01:25Ha!
01:26Ha!
01:28I hope one day I can make my mark.
01:30Do some good.
01:32Ha!
01:33Ha!
01:33Ha!
01:34Ha!
01:34Ha!
01:35Ha!
01:36Ha!
01:37I said sous-chef of ward 6.
01:39Oh, he was the wrong nun, that's for sure.
01:41Oh...
01:41Oh, oh, then there were the killings at 206 Hollywood.
01:44Oh, I remember that.
01:46That was a real house of horrors.
01:48That was you?
01:48No, no, no.
01:49Daws was on that.
01:50Yeah.
01:51Biggest case he ever closed.
01:53I'm the worst.
01:55Radcatcher, that was you!
01:56Station House Ford.
01:57Yes, it was.
01:58Murdoch can watch, but that many should win.
02:00Did you say Murdoch, Chief Constable?
02:02I did indeed. I imagine you've heard of him.
02:05Detective Murdoch's the reason I left my studies in engineering to join the constabulary.
02:10Murdoch is a remarkable man.
02:12But behind every great detective, there's an even greater inspector.
02:21As for evil, did you hear the Simcoe slasher escape?
02:24I thought he was to be executed.
02:26He was, but he's on the run.
02:29I've headed back to the city after this to help with the manhunt.
02:32Well, that gives you a chance to do some good, constable.
02:35Just make sure you catch the bugger.
02:37I'll do my best, sirs.
02:38Oh, and make sure you're back here to pick us up on time.
02:45There they are.
02:47Slorak, chief constable.
02:50Moser.
02:50Amos! I brought you a sandwich!
02:53Lester Dawes, it is wonderful to see you.
02:56But, uh, yeah, you forgot the bread.
02:59And I remembered the mustard.
03:01I'll see we're all ready to the whiskey.
03:03Dawes, I wish you wouldn't drink so.
03:06Take more than a couple of whiskeys to bring me down.
03:10I promised your wife I'd look out for you.
03:12Oh.
03:13You know your heart's been acting up.
03:15Shut it.
03:16Please be.
03:16Stop pandering to every last woman in your life.
03:19Mrs. Dawes made me promise the same thing.
03:22We'll watch them together.
03:27Thomas Brackenreed.
03:29Amy Slorak.
03:30Your room's upstairs.
03:31Oh, well, hello to you too, Wushman.
03:33It was a bit of a martinet, even though we were rookies.
03:36Dawes, could you please put this somewhere?
03:39Gerriton did a nice job in here.
03:41Look at this trophy.
03:42They've shot and mounted it themselves.
03:44It's a nice place.
03:45Meanwhile, his wife was back in the city
03:47making do with powdered milk.
03:49Speaking of Widow Gerriton, I'm surprised she isn't here to greet us.
03:52And over a list of rules.
03:54That's because she knows Washburn is here,
03:57making sure we all use coasters.
03:59Someone better chop wood if we're to cook these steaks before midnight.
04:03I'll cut down the whole forest.
04:05I'll tell you what, give me the axe.
04:07I don't trust doors.
04:08If you're going to drink like a fish,
04:10at least use a glass, ma'am.
04:13Oh, here we go.
04:15Always putting on a short, Dawes.
04:16It's going to be a long weekend.
04:21Happy now?
04:24Oh!
04:33Dawes!
04:36Are you alright?
04:37Oh, he's...
04:42He's dead?
04:45Dead.
05:08Ah, I see you've finally done it.
05:11What's that?
05:13Built the better mousetrap.
05:15Terrence Myers used knockout gas on me and Inspector Brackenreid.
05:20I'm attempting to engineer it in reverse to refine its properties.
05:25This experiment will allow me to refine the dosage
05:28so that its effects last no more than five minutes.
05:34No.
05:35No.
05:37Can I tempt you with a quarry
05:39who may be more difficult to recapture?
05:41I'm listening.
05:42I got a call from an old friend at Station House One
05:44looking for help.
05:46The Simcoe Slasher has escaped during a prison transfer.
05:49Do you need additional manpower?
05:51Brainpower, I think.
05:53Shall we bring it from the lab to the streets?
05:54I think it's...
06:03Does always did say his ticker was ticking down.
06:07Well, looks like we'll have to go home early.
06:09Oh.
06:10Who's going to tell his wife?
06:12Well, she'll blame me, even though does never listen.
06:15Well, let's not be hasty.
06:17We could...
06:17We could put him in the cold room overnight.
06:20Are you being serious?
06:21Well, what's the difference between the cold storage here and the city morgue?
06:25What say you, Washburn?
06:26You always know what's right.
06:28Well, if you think about it, we are the authorities.
06:31Oh, come on.
06:32Between the five of us, we have well over a century of police experience.
06:35Exactly.
06:36Who better to make the decision?
06:38I don't know.
06:38It doesn't sit right with me.
06:40Nor me.
06:40How would you feel if it was you, Moser?
06:42Well, I wouldn't begrudge my old pals a good time just to give my wife an extra night of grief.
06:49Well, I'm the only one still on the job, and I say we go back.
06:53But Constable Linfield's not picking us up until tomorrow.
06:56Well, there's no guarantee we can get a ride sooner than that.
06:59I say we enjoy the night, have a little fun.
07:01After all, it's what Dawes would have wanted.
07:05Where is this cold room?
07:07Hamish!
07:08Well, there isn't much we can do about it tonight, is there, Tom?
07:11You get the ankles, I'll get the wrists.
07:13All right.
07:13I'll get a blanket.
07:15Was Dawes really so ill that no one's surprised that he dropped dead?
07:19I guess that's what happens when you have a bad ticker.
07:22It's always sudden like that.
07:23I'm surprised that didn't happen earlier.
07:25I saw him two weeks ago, he was strong as a horse.
07:28He said if you ever felt a twinge, he just took one of his pills, and that sorted him right
07:31out.
07:31I never saw him take any pills.
07:36Uh-oh.
07:37Hey, wait, Tommy.
07:38Come on, now.
07:41That's not right.
07:42Rifling through a dead man's belongings.
07:47Maybe he forgot the pills at home.
07:49Surely he would have brought them with him.
07:51They're nowhere to be seen.
07:56Well, where are you going?
07:57I'm going to check in the one place that I haven't looked.
08:05Sorry, Dawes.
08:16Oh, what do you think you're going to find, hmm?
08:19These.
08:22Don't you find it strange that Dawes didn't reach for his pills, even though they're in his vest pocket the
08:26whole time?
08:26The man was dead drunk.
08:30And from what I understand, heart paroxysms happen suddenly more often than not.
08:35So you keep saying.
08:38Because it's true.
08:43We're too late.
08:44We likely wouldn't recover any information from the scene itself.
08:48Right.
08:49Dozens of men have already been deployed at the site of his escape from the prison wagon, so we...
08:54Don't go there.
08:55I have a hunch that we need to retrieve information on the Simcoe Slasher from all of the station houses.
09:02Oh.
09:03Most.
09:04The Simcoe Slasher has had run-ins with the police all over the city, and for years...
09:09You think we'll find something the searchers have missed?
09:11Well, they're searching for him here and now, which they should be.
09:15But we will be searching through his past.
09:18Via his criminal records.
09:20Yes.
09:21For us, the excitement in this case will be in the paperwork.
09:35I admit it's odd about the pills, Tom.
09:38What are you thinking?
09:40Maybe Doors has been poisoned.
09:43But all of us were drinking the whiskey.
09:45Look.
09:47Compare Doors' glass to Hamish's.
09:52Well, his has a dark bit at the bottom.
09:54Well, that's hardly proof.
09:56Well, look, we all took glasses off the sideboard.
09:58Maybe some are cleaner than others.
10:00Drain your glasses.
10:01Ah, finally a talking sense.
10:04Cheers.
10:04No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
10:06So we can compare the dregs, not get drunk, please be.
10:11Washburn.
10:16Only Doors' glass has residue.
10:19Could be poison.
10:20Trying to play act the great detective.
10:24You don't have to pretend in front of us.
10:25I'm not playing, Moser.
10:27Oh, come on.
10:28We all know why Station House 4 has a reputation at does,
10:32and why you've risen to be chief constable.
10:36It's all thanks to Murdoch.
10:37At least I've always supported the detectives under my command.
10:41What's that supposed to mean?
10:43Well, from what I used to hear,
10:44you were less interested in the truth
10:45than in marking cases closed.
10:48How dare you?
10:49Please, let's not sleep at one another.
10:51I can't bear it.
10:51You are a sentimental fool, Clearsby.
10:54Look!
10:54The sun is going down.
10:57Doors will never see it rise again.
11:00Hamish,
11:01will you please play something
11:03that Doors would like to have heard?
11:04Oh, yeah.
11:07He always used to like this one.
11:24Ow!
11:26Damn, bloody hell!
11:27Jesus!
11:29I see angels.
11:30Angels is my old dog.
11:32They all live.
11:33Yeah.
11:35Oh, my God!
11:36You're lucky it weren't killed.
11:38Seems to me that God was looking out for him.
11:41That was designed to follow
11:43whoever was playing the piano.
11:45Come on, now.
11:46Don't believe me?
11:47Watch this.
11:51Good Lord.
11:53If that's true, then
11:54maybe Doors was poisoned after all.
11:56Yes, but by who?
11:58Someone who hates police?
11:59The widow Garriton?
12:00She could have booby-trapped the place.
12:02I remember at Garriton's funeral,
12:04she seemed none too fond of the constabulary.
12:06That's true.
12:07He said it's so many words, she blamed us.
12:09For what?
12:10For Garriton's drinking?
12:11Him not making it past 60?
12:13You think there are other traps?
12:16Anybody gonna help me up?
12:20The windows have been nailed shut.
12:22The back door from the kitchen is barred, too.
12:24Well, it's normal to secure the lodge against squatters.
12:29Are you not paying attention?
12:31There were traps set here to kill us.
12:34To think Doors would still be alive
12:36if Washburn hadn't goaded him into drinking out of a glass.
12:39What are you saying?
12:40We've got to get out of here.
12:41I'm saying, was it a coincidence?
12:44Slorak, you're losing blood.
12:45You're not thinking straight.
12:47Speaking of coincidence,
12:48it's pretty lucky how you managed not to get killed by those antlers.
12:51Lucky?
12:52If I was lucky, it would have missed me.
12:53Washburn, Slorak wouldn't hurt a fly.
12:56You work with him.
12:57You didn't strike me as much of a cop then.
12:59Unless now.
13:01I say we go out the way we came in.
13:03Through the front door.
13:08Slight problem there.
13:10It's locked.
13:11What on earth?
13:12It must have locked behind us.
13:15Where's the key?
13:16It was open when we got here.
13:18Then I'll use this side door.
13:20We'll walk to the nearest town it needed.
13:22No, Washburn.
13:23I wouldn't do that.
13:36What the hell?
13:43A landmine.
13:48You think it could be the widow Garretton?
13:50She's nearly 70 and very frail last time I saw her.
13:55Someone else with a grudge against the police, maybe?
13:57But why us?
13:58We're all retired.
13:59Except for me.
14:01Well, that's something, Tom.
14:02What are you working on?
14:03Pushing papers.
14:05What?
14:05That's what a chief constable does.
14:09Nothing big at the moment.
14:11I wonder if it could be Chadwick Vaughan.
14:13No, no, no.
14:14I know for a fact him and his wife reconciled and they left for Paris a couple weeks ago.
14:19What about the Simcoe slasher?
14:21The escaped killer.
14:22Tom had a hand in bringing him into justice and he vowed revenge against all police at his trial.
14:27But the slasher's thing was cutting and stabbing people who got in his way in a robbery.
14:32This isn't exactly his mortis operandi.
14:35No, but criminals can escalate.
14:37Even the Hollyrood killer was just a penny thief back in the day.
14:41Yes, yes.
14:42He really came into his own as a complete maniac before the constabulary managed to bring him down.
14:49Yes, it must be the slasher after us.
14:52We need weapons.
14:53And a way out.
14:54No, we just stay here till Linfield comes to pick us up.
14:56But he's right, it's going to be dark soon.
14:58Here, Solorak, you're with me.
15:01Please be you come with me.
15:03Take these.
15:04Give me the...
15:05What are these for?
15:06To help us catch the traps before the traps catch us.
15:10All right.
15:11Yeah, I like that.
15:12Yeah.
15:15To find the Simcoe slasher, given name Elmer Moggridge,
15:19we are going to comb through his arrest records to determine where he could be hiding.
15:24Uh, places that he's lived.
15:26People he's worked with.
15:27My friend said they're already checking all the known associates and addresses in their files.
15:33Oh.
15:33But look at this arrest report from station house number one.
15:37It mentions the Simcoe slasher being found with brand new Bingsley ratchets in his possession,
15:45which were likely stolen.
15:47But then there's no corresponding record of arrest for robbery.
15:55Bingsley ratchet factories in station house three's territory.
15:59We'll see if they ever investigated a theft plan.
16:04Station house three.
16:10Are you sure this will work to spring any traps?
16:13No, I'm not sure it'll work.
16:15Just keep your eyes open.
16:29Garreton must have some weapons about.
16:32This is a hunting lodge after all.
16:34Wait.
16:35Wait.
16:36Look at that dark patch on the floor.
16:39What of it?
16:40It could be a trap.
16:42Or worse.
16:50Satisfied?
16:53Well, I'm still walking around it.
17:08Please, man.
17:10This window hasn't been enough sure.
17:14Be careful.
17:19You might be able to squeeze through.
17:21Oh, no, wait.
17:22Look.
17:23The earth's been disturbed.
17:26Maybe something's been planted in there.
17:28Yeah, you know.
17:30Ready?
17:36Tom, are you okay?
17:38Tom, are you okay?
17:38What happened?
17:39It's just a minor explosion.
17:42We're fine.
17:50Well, look at that.
17:55I hate guns.
17:57Except hunting rifles, of course.
17:59Uh-huh.
18:00Well, I don't.
18:03Loaded.
18:04Well, I won't go.
18:05Just give me the bullets.
18:06Why?
18:07You don't trust me?
18:09In case we get startled.
18:10Don't want any accidents.
18:11There are no accidents.
18:17This is locked, too.
18:19Check the door.
18:34Well, that was fruitless.
18:36How about we just smash our way through the windows?
18:38Well, there's probably more landmines out there.
18:40Yeah, good point.
18:45Bloody hell.
18:46It's a telegraph machine.
18:50We could send a message.
18:51Praise be to Garriton for his hunting lodge improvements.
18:55You know, there's a train line not far from here.
18:57Wouldn't be that costly to put in.
18:59My Morse code skills are a bit rusty.
19:01How about yours?
19:02I can do it.
19:03Yeah.
19:04All right.
19:04We need to alert Murdoch and ask the Toronto Constable to send help.
19:08Men murdered in Muskoka at Garriton Hunting Lodge.
19:12And ask Station House 5 as well.
19:15Well, I tracked down the file on the Bingsley Ratchet Factory,
19:19robbery.
19:20Ben?
19:20There were two thieves, and the description of one of the suspects does match the slasher.
19:25So there likely were stolen tools in his possession.
19:27Yes.
19:28Station House 3 never identified the other thief, but they did obtain his partial finger
19:33mark.
19:33Not much to go on.
19:36Well, as you know, I do maintain the most comprehensive archive of finger marks in the city.
19:43So if we did find a match, we could perhaps identify a previously unknown associate of the
19:49Simcoe Slasher.
19:50Who might be sheltering him.
19:52How many finger marks would you say we have on files?
19:56About a hundred?
19:57Oh.
19:58More.
20:05Classified by type.
20:10Could take some time.
20:11Mm-hmm.
20:14Stay away from me!
20:16Come on, please, babe.
20:19I can't believe that you have used something.
20:21What's going on?
20:22I will not.
20:23What's with the gun?
20:24I found this.
20:25Yeah, and I found this.
20:27An obituary for the widow Garriton.
20:29Ah.
20:30She's the one letting his use a coming.
20:31Exactly.
20:32So how did she send us the advice if she died two months ago?
20:35I, uh, she offered the cabin by telegram.
20:39You could have known the widow was dead, and you invited us up here for your own sick purposes.
20:43Hamish, do you really think so poorly of me?
20:46You were the one insisting that Doors wasn't poisoned, saying we shouldn't go back to the
20:50city.
20:50Because I wanted to have a good time.
20:53By putting our friend on ice?
20:54We did that together.
20:56What's your game, Osa?
20:57Wiles.
20:58What are you talking about?
20:59Well, the widow said through the invitation list.
21:03By telegram?
21:04When she was dead?
21:05Well, somebody telegrammed.
21:07So you say.
21:07Well, it's true.
21:08I wouldn't have picked you lot if I had my druthers.
21:12What's that sound?
21:13It's a telegraph machine.
21:15That must be the reply to our SOS.
21:17We might just be saved.
21:22Yes?
21:23You?
21:24Can't you go any faster?
21:26I...
21:28That...
21:32Again...
21:34You...
21:37Regret it.
21:43You.
21:45You must have set this up.
21:47What?
21:48You're the one who found this machine.
21:50How could her messages be intercepted?
21:52You...
21:53You did something to it.
21:54You learned a few tricks from your star detective.
21:58You sent the telegram as the widow in the first place.
22:02And you can't be serious.
22:04Well, the only thing I know for sure is I'm not doing this.
22:08Look, I don't know what happened, but maybe the message doesn't mean what we think it means.
22:12Do you think that the wires could have gotten crossed somewhere down the line?
22:16Could be.
22:17I'll try another SOS.
22:21Tommy!
22:22What the devil?
22:24I'm all right.
22:26I think.
22:29That was not a normal telegraph.
22:31You still think he sabotaged it?
22:33I...
22:33I...
22:33I don't know what to think anymore.
22:36Oh, come here.
22:37There we go.
22:39For once, I agree with you, Clasby.
22:42My nerves are wrecked.
22:46Moser!
22:47Oh, my...
22:49He's been shot!
22:53Oh.
22:58Moser, are you all right?
23:00Well, what do you think, you idiot?
23:01I've just been shot in the chest.
23:03You shoot yourself with that blasted gun you found?
23:05No.
23:05No.
23:06But I'll shoot you.
23:07Moser, Moser, give me the gun!
23:10Please be sitting down.
23:11Storch the bleeding.
23:12Oh.
23:16I don't think this gun's been fired.
23:19That whiskey to smash wasn't one of ours.
23:23The label's different.
23:27Luts, look at this hole in the wall.
23:31I think the bullet came from here.
23:33When Moser took the buckle off the shelf, it flipped up.
23:37Somehow activated the trigger on the hidden gun.
23:40He's fiendishly clever.
23:42The slasher won't rest till we're all dead.
23:45And he's halfway there.
23:50Huh.
23:53I found a match.
23:56A thief named Milton Blaine.
24:01I recognize that man.
24:03Station House 2 ran surveillance on the slasher
24:07for a string of robberies eight years ago,
24:10and someone in one of the photographs was never identified.
24:13Huh.
24:15It looks like the slasher and this Mr. Blaine
24:17have had a long association.
24:20It says this was Market Street.
24:22There's no address.
24:25Can't quite make out the number.
24:29The photograph is overexposed.
24:31It's too bad you can't figure out a way
24:32to shed less light on the matter.
24:37Actually, I-I think I can.
24:45Well, it seems to have gone straight through.
24:47Stop fussing.
24:48You're hoping I'll bleed to death?
24:49I'm sorry.
24:50I'm doing the best that I can.
24:51Oh, you're probably enjoying this.
24:54Get your hands off me.
24:55Moser, you're not thinking straight.
24:56The man's just trying to help.
24:57Help me to my grave, more like.
24:59Do you know that Cleesby here
25:01was carrying around with my wife
25:03for the better part of a year?
25:05That was a long time ago.
25:07I was just trying to be a listening ear.
25:09It's not my fault that she needed a friend.
25:11A listening ear is one thing,
25:12but you gave her a lot more than that.
25:15You probably wish she was still together.
25:16That is not true.
25:18Oh, it's the quiet ones you've got to watch out for.
25:21Sneaking around, bottling things up.
25:23If anyone wanted me dead, it's Cleesby.
25:27You do know that she was with you
25:30only to teach me a lesson.
25:33She can't stand pathetic weaklings like you.
25:37Please, you have to keep pressure from that wound.
25:41Look, we shouldn't be getting on at one another.
25:43Deep down, we're all good cops.
25:45Moser isn't a good cop.
25:47He's bad.
25:49He intimidated witnesses.
25:51He fabricated evidence.
25:53He forced me to cover for him.
25:56How do you mean?
25:58Fred Peltz case.
26:00Peltz was a black man, so Moser thought he did it.
26:02I never thought he was guilty.
26:03Oh, that was years ago,
26:06and sure, maybe I stitched it up,
26:07but Peltz was no downy innocent.
26:10He'd already served time for armed robbery.
26:13But you had him convicted.
26:15For what?
26:17Murder of a vagrant on Victoria Street.
26:21Friendly beggar, by all accounts,
26:23but apparently Peltz didn't like the looks of him.
26:26Peltz was a bank robber.
26:27Why would he go after a beggar?
26:29Was this the vagrant on Victoria Street back in 93?
26:32Yes!
26:32It was a friendly one.
26:33Well, Peltz didn't murder him.
26:35How could you know that?
26:36Well, before the Holyrood killer was executed,
26:38he gave up a list of his victims.
26:40Thomas showed me.
26:41And the vagrant of Victoria Street was on that list.
26:45So Peltz was convicted of the Holyrood killer's crime?
26:49Well, I've manipulated the exposure in this area.
26:54By changing the light source during printing,
26:57it should show us more detail.
26:59Well, we're hoping that we can now see the house number.
27:06It's a seven.
27:08Seven Market Street.
27:10We go at dawn.
27:13What are you holding up, Moser?
27:15What are you holding up, Moser?
27:15The test is set to burst.
27:19I think the bleeding is slowing.
27:22At first light, we'll find another way out.
27:25We'll get you some help.
27:27So you're saying that if Moser and I hadn't gone after the wrong man,
27:32we could have arrested the Holyrood killer before his house of horrors?
27:38Yes, but these things happen.
27:40I mean, Washburn and I, we had a blunder of our own in that regard.
27:44How do you mean?
27:45When I was a rookie, we arrested a woman who was on her way to testify
27:48in an assault case against George Cowers,
27:50as the Holyrood killer was known then.
27:52A victim or a witness?
27:54I don't know.
27:55She had a charge against her.
27:56Washburn thought her story was a lie, so we kept her in the cell.
27:59She never testified?
28:00No.
28:02If she had, maybe Cowers would have been behind bars years earlier.
28:06I imagine Cowers had his fair share of run-ins with the law.
28:09Plenty.
28:10Well, we boasted about him at his confession.
28:13One time he was stopped in a stolen carriage by a copper,
28:15gave some sob story in the fake name Coot Newton,
28:17and was sent on his way.
28:22Coot Newton?
28:23Oh, Cowers thought that was a great joke.
28:27I stopped at Coot Newton
28:30for erratic driving of a horse and buggy years ago.
28:34Such an old fellow with a bizarre name.
28:36I never forgot him.
28:39That was Cowers leaving the sight of a violent assault.
28:44I let him off with a warning.
28:46That was the Holyrood killer that you let get away.
28:53I... I... What?
28:54No, what?
28:55What?
28:57Under this hat, that...
28:58Station 4 clearly got it wrong.
28:59Continue this, sir.
29:00Inspector Norton, I...
29:01I thought I asked you to wait for us.
29:03What for?
29:04Your tip was worthless.
29:05Nobody here, but an old woman.
29:07Does she look like the slasher?
29:09Let the poor dear go, for goodness sake!
29:14This house doesn't look quite right, Watts.
29:16Is it possible this is the wrong address?
29:18I've got the photograph.
29:23Look at the number plaque.
29:26The number isn't centered, and there's a faded line beside the number seven.
29:30It's not seven.
29:32It's 17.
29:33We're at the wrong house.
29:43He made it through the night.
29:47Does anyone think it's a strange coincidence that we all crossed paths with George Cowers before he was the Holyrood
29:54killer?
29:55You think that's why we're being targeted?
29:57We can't be the only ones who tangled with him.
30:00Cowers was racking up charges for years throughout the city.
30:04How would anyone know about these old runnings?
30:06We didn't even know.
30:08Besides, everyone connected with the Holyrood cases.
30:11Well, they're dead by now.
30:13Cowers was executed.
30:14He has no family.
30:16No one came out of 206 Holyrood alive.
30:19He was the groundskeeper, the two prostitutes, the homeowners, and that young mother.
30:24And the next door neighbor.
30:25Yes, but she was already an old lady by then.
30:28Daws.
30:31Daws knew about all of us.
30:33He'd went through all the files.
30:35He interviewed Cowers multiple times.
30:38But why would Daws want to harm us, let alone himself?
30:41Too long in the case.
30:44Caught Cowers' madness.
30:51Would you stop fussing?
30:53I still don't see him.
30:55I think we need to be worried about the slasher.
30:57I agree.
30:58Everything that's happened here has to be the slasher.
31:00I'm getting dizzy.
31:01I'm dizzy.
31:02Stop.
31:03He's turning blue.
31:05This was all Daws' fault.
31:07If you'd just shared information about the Cowers' case,
31:11the constabulary would have been able to stop Holyrood,
31:15saved all those people.
31:17Is it possible the bullet could have nicked the lung?
31:19I mean, if so, it could be pressure building up in his chest.
31:23Oh, Daws wasn't dead.
31:28I'd kill him myself.
31:44He's dead.
31:53I suppose we should move him to the cold room.
31:55No.
31:58Wait.
31:59He was...
32:01He was complicated.
32:03He was difficult.
32:05But he was my...
32:08He was my partner.
32:19We should say a prayer first.
32:22We need more than prayers, Gleesby.
32:25We need to figure out how to fight the slasher.
32:34You sure the slasher's in there this time?
32:37This is the correct address.
32:39The curtains are all drawn.
32:40He's barricaded himself in.
32:45Did you see that?
32:47There's two people inside.
32:48Yes.
32:50Ready your weapons, constables.
32:51He's a killer.
32:52Just escaped death row.
32:54He won't go down without a fight.
33:00He wouldn't want to be in here.
33:03Gleesby, I understand how you feel, but we can't just leave him in an armchair.
33:06He's with Daws.
33:08Poor Daws.
33:09I can't believe it.
33:09My old dog was so fond of him.
33:13Where is Daws?
33:20Someone has spirited away his body.
33:23Do you think it could be a spirit?
33:25A malevolent spirit possessing Daws' body?
33:27Don't be ridiculous.
33:30But Daws could have vaked his death.
33:33I've seen it done convincingly enough to fool the doctor.
33:35Why would Daws do something like that?
33:37I don't know.
33:39He must have had a reason.
33:44I showed the photograph of the Simcoe Slasher and Milton Blaine to the next door neighbor.
33:49She confirmed they're both inside.
33:51You heard the detective.
33:53Remember, the Slasher is surely armed with nothing to lose.
33:56If he tries to flee, open fire.
34:00Inspector Norton, with all due respect, I don't believe this situation calls for lethal force.
34:06You cannot let the Simcoe Slasher slip away.
34:10It's not only a danger to the public, but the very reputation of my station house is at stake.
34:16Yes, sir, but they are currently surrounded.
34:19We still have the opportunity to apprehend them without bloodshed.
34:23A soft spot for killers, detective.
34:27The Slasher will be facing execution, but his associate has not been convicted of any capital offense.
34:33We won't let them get away.
34:35The Slasher's trying to make a fool of the constabulary.
34:38Sir, before you shoot them out, could we try one thing?
34:43Hmm.
34:47Stand down.
34:50Well, you said that Dawes must have had a reason for faking his own death.
34:55Did you mean that he might be the one behind all this?
34:58Well, people always said that the Holyrood killer must have had some connection to the police
35:02to have evaded capture for so long.
35:04Yeah, but Dawes was notorious for not sharing information on the case until he found his killer.
35:09Maybe that's because he was involved all along, working alongside George Cowas.
35:13So, we're thinking Holyrood again?
35:16It wasn't Dawes.
35:18He's no killer.
35:19You both know him.
35:20If Dawes didn't share information, it's because he's a bastard who wanted all the credit.
35:23So, we think it's the Simcoe Slasher?
35:25Yes.
35:26He hated the police.
35:27And you, Tom.
35:28Oh, thanks.
35:30Well, then how do we account for Dawes' body being missing?
35:32Well, Washburn was wrong.
35:33He wasn't dead.
35:34He was just stunned.
35:35He came to in the cold room and he's gotten up.
35:38So, you're saying that he's just been stumbling around in a daze ever since?
35:42Exactly.
35:42We need to find him.
35:45Well, there he is.
35:48Tawes!
35:55He's dead.
35:58I'm cold.
35:59Cleesby, get out of there now!
36:00I'm just propped up here!
36:02Cleesby, no!
36:17Cleesby, get out of there now!
36:22I'm cold.
36:23I'm cold.
36:23I'm cold.
36:25I'm cold.
36:26I'm cold.
36:30I'm cold.
36:44I'm cold.
36:52I'm cold.
36:54I'm cold.
36:56I'm cold.
36:56I'm cold.
36:57I'm cold.
37:24I'm cold.
37:26I'm cold.
37:26I'm cold.
37:28I'm cold.
37:37I'm cold.
37:41I'm cold.
37:51I'm cold.
38:24I'm cold.
38:43I'm cold.
38:48I'm cold.
39:01I'm cold.
39:07I'm cold.
39:19I'm cold.
39:20I'm cold.
39:22I'm cold.
39:24I'm cold.
39:30I'm cold.
39:30So, you dropped out of school to become a constable.
39:33What was it you were studying?
39:37Electrical engineering.
39:40So, I take it you've got a sound understanding of electrical telegraphy?
39:45Yes.
39:46I do.
39:48Very good understanding, indeed.
39:53Got some stretchers.
39:54Ah, well.
39:55Looks like you saved the hangman a day's work, at least.
39:58You had the best of intentions.
40:03Take them away.
40:05Very impressive, detective.
40:08It'll be earthly justice for these two.
40:11For now.
40:23I was hoping you'd figure it out.
40:25Get out.
40:31Start walking.
40:33The young mother there at 206 Holyrood, who was tortured.
40:37You're her son, aren't you?
40:40You've blamed everyone who should have put the Holyrood killer away, but didn't.
40:47Do you know that my mother was the last one left alive in that house?
40:51Did you know that my mother was the last one left alive in that house?
40:52She had to hear everyone else tortured and killed before George Cowers finally came for her.
40:56That's terrible.
41:00Who?
41:00There was a police detective who told me, as if it was something a boy ought to know.
41:05Jane Oldfield.
41:10Who is your mother's name?
41:12You changed yours.
41:15You remember her name.
41:17Everyone who heard about that kids would've...
41:22...
41:22...
41:22I was haunted by it.
41:24Tha spoke of it often.
41:41My mother waited for hours.
41:46Suffering, terrified.
41:49Not knowing why she was locked in that house.
41:53What happened to your mother was a sin.
41:55It's what was supposed to happen to all of you.
41:58Ghetto.
42:14So you caught the slasher by doing paperwork.
42:16That's a good day even by your standards, Merdo.
42:18Well, there's a bit more to it than that.
42:20The other station houses were so impressed they're looking into expanding their own collection of finger marks.
42:26Sir, perhaps you should consider supervising a central database at City Hall.
42:32It's a big job, but it's a good idea.
42:36Did the two of you actually think the Simcoe slasher was behind the murders at the cabin?
42:42For a while.
42:44I pretty much thought it the whole time.
42:46But once we discovered the microphone, I knew it couldn't be the slasher.
42:49It had to be someone with electrical know-how.
42:51And a connection to the Hollywood martyrs.
42:54And a detailed knowledge of the killer's arrest record.
42:57Constable Linfield is set to stand trial, but he's already confessed to everything.
43:01Yet another murderous admirer of yours, Murdoch.
43:04Adding to the list.
43:06I'm sure that you can't blame me for this.
43:08Of course not.
43:10There's already enough blame to go around.
43:13More police funerals in a month than we've seen in many a year.
43:20Well, that wasn't quite the trip I had in mind, Tom.
43:23Me neither.
43:23Although I do think we're entitled to another kick at the cap.
43:26Oh, perhaps in the city next time.
43:28Dinner, with our better halves.
43:29Oh, I'd love for you to meet my new dog.
43:31I meant our wives, Hamish.
43:32Our wives.
43:33I'm sure we'll be safe with them, I know.
43:36I'm sure you're right, Tom.
43:37I'm sure you're right.
44:07I'm sure you're right.
44:12I'm sure you're right.
