00:14Dash, dash, dash, dot, dot, dot, dot.
00:17Are you all right, Henry?
00:20I'm learning to speak Morge code.
00:22To what end?
00:24Well, it was George's idea.
00:25In his latest letter, he said,
00:27in the future, we'll all be speaking to machines.
00:30I want them to be able to understand.
00:32And what did you just say?
00:34I said, oh.
00:37Oh.
00:38You know, there has been a long interest
00:40in adopting a universal language everyone can speak.
00:43That's what I'm talking about.
00:45So you chose Morse code?
00:49Oh, thank goodness you're here.
00:53Detective Watts and Constable Higgins.
00:55Hallie Hobbs.
00:56I understand a painting has gone missing?
00:59Yes, it was stolen last night.
01:01Oh, good Lord, what now?
01:07I told you!
01:09The other wall!
01:11What's going on?
01:12Whoa.
01:13Look at this.
01:16Oh, my goodness.
01:18Oh, my goodness.
01:38The bones appear to have been there for some time.
01:41Could be decades.
01:42And the portrait was only reported missing yesterday.
01:46Is it likely the cases are related?
01:49Probably not.
01:50Still.
01:51Right.
01:52I'll look into this.
01:53See what you can find out about a possible theft.
01:56What have you, Miss Hart?
01:57Man or woman?
01:58When I reassemble the pieces, I'll have a better idea.
02:02Hmm.
02:02Not much clothing remains.
02:05Perhaps the insects got to the corpse.
02:07Maggots, moths, flies.
02:09Heat and moisture may have accelerated a decomposition as well.
02:12Sir, do you think it's possible that someone climbed in here and got stuck?
02:16There isn't much room.
02:18Lent force trauma fractured the bone.
02:21Possibly fatal.
02:23Right.
02:23Perhaps they were killed and then sealed up in here.
02:27Sir, have a look at this.
02:31Detail is certainly unique enough.
02:33Perhaps we can date its manufacture.
02:35Henry, see if you can track down where and when this was made.
02:38Sir.
02:47Um, I don't think the blow to the skull is what killed our victim.
02:54No?
02:55Uh, no.
02:56There are many scratches inside this wall.
02:59The victim tried desperately to claw their way out.
03:04That wall was bound to crack sooner or later.
03:06No point in blaming my people.
03:07Uh, I actually want to talk about the theft of the portrait.
03:10Miss Hobbs and Donnelly already asked me about that.
03:13You and your men have been in and out at all hours, right?
03:17Well, wait a minute.
03:18If you think, these are good, hard-working men.
03:21Doubt they have much use for a family portrait.
03:23Right, but did you see anything or anyone suspicious while working?
03:27People coming in and out of here all day.
03:30Mr. Fisher, have you completed your work?
03:33Nothing I can do about the sitting room until they let me in again.
03:36Yeah, it's a crime scene.
03:37Can you at least help Miss Hobbs in the library?
03:42You know where to find me.
03:44Was the painting taken from there?
03:46Yes.
03:47What would you estimate to be the value of this portrait?
03:49Only sentimental, though it meant a great deal to Miss Hobbs.
03:53Can you describe it?
03:54It was of Hallie, her father and late mother.
03:57She was only a baby at the time.
04:00The family stood in front of the Hopewell Rocks.
04:03New Brunswick?
04:04Mm, before they moved to Toronto.
04:06And I came under their employ.
04:09How many entrances to the house?
04:12The main hall, kitchen, the library, the servants' entrance, the morning room.
04:16So many.
04:17Are they kept locked?
04:18I've never had a problem.
04:21Strange they didn't take anything else.
04:23Perhaps there's more to this portrait than meets the eye.
04:26Miss Hobbs, had any work previously been done to the wall prior to finding the remains?
04:32Not for as long as we've been living here, right, Father?
04:36Mm-hmm.
04:37Do you recall anyone going missing through the years?
04:40No.
04:40And how long has the home been in the family?
04:43My father built this home in 1812.
04:47Mr. Hobbs, so you've owned the home for over a century.
04:51Father, you're thinking about the St. John house.
04:54I know my own life, child.
04:56I'm sorry.
05:01My father is confused these days from age.
05:04I just agree or he becomes agitated.
05:05But I know for certain we bought this home in 1887.
05:09Oh, do you know who the previous owners were?
05:11I believe the house had been repossessed from the Morton family.
05:14Any idea where I might find them?
05:16Oh, I was very young.
05:18But I do know my father dealt with the Bank of Toronto.
05:20Perhaps they know where the Mortons ended up.
05:23Those criminals, they deserve what came to them.
05:27I beg your pardon, sir.
05:29The Mortons.
05:31Dirty Irish, the lot of them.
05:33Oh, I'm so sorry.
05:34He doesn't mean...
05:35Perhaps I should take him to rest.
05:36No, I...
05:37There were a number of valuables at hand,
05:40many smaller and easier to carry.
05:43So why steal a large painting?
05:45I arranged a meeting with an art dealer to inquire.
05:48Miss Newsom, your file on the Miller case.
05:51Thank you for this.
05:52And what have we learned about the previous owner of the Hobbs' home?
05:54The property office has cleared it up.
05:57The Morton family built the home in 1852
05:59and then lost it to the bank in 1884.
06:02They were, however, the only other family to have owned the home.
06:06So perhaps the remains are connected to them.
06:08Hmm.
06:09The financial straits could have made for desperate times.
06:11Unfortunately, I don't know much more about the family.
06:14The records only say so much,
06:15and Mr. Hobbs' memory is unreliable.
06:18You found a body at the Hobbs' house?
06:19I went to school with Hallie.
06:21Oh, so you know them well.
06:24Hardly.
06:25In fact, I was surprised to be invited to her fancy dress ball this evening.
06:28The theme is Extraordinary Couples from History in the Written Word.
06:32Ah, yes.
06:33And some of the preparations.
06:35A grand affair for the Guilden class.
06:38If you need to know more about the Mortons,
06:40perhaps you could accompany Miss Newsom.
06:44Oh.
06:46I don't have a costume.
06:47I'm sure we could find you something.
06:49It's not really something I don't...
06:51But there will be people who knew them there.
06:53And the Guilden class has a long memory for scandal.
06:56And people do tend to speak more freely behind a mask.
07:06Definitely Sefton.
07:07His early work.
07:09Sefton?
07:10Sefton Bellamy.
07:11Tell me,
07:12why didn't Constable Crabschie come calling to seek my counsel?
07:15It's been too long.
07:16He accepted a position with the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary.
07:21All the way to Newfoundland.
07:23And without a word to me,
07:24I'm wounded.
07:25It was quite sudden.
07:27So, is this painting valuable?
07:29Yes.
07:31The composition's all off,
07:32but Sefton Bellamy's work is all the rage right now.
07:35Interesting.
07:53Nice change from being an unescorted woman at these events.
07:57People talk.
08:00Is Miss Hobbs a regular on the Toronto social scene?
08:06She's actually a bit of a shut-in.
08:08Always has been.
08:10She never talked to anybody at school unless it was regarding our studies.
08:13And her father's men would collect her right after classes.
08:17Perhaps this is her way of spreading her wings.
08:21Miss Newsome!
08:22Detective Murdoch.
08:24Might I introduce you to a nice tablet?
08:27Roy has talked so much about you.
08:28Quite a phenomenon, aren't you?
08:30Oh, thank you.
08:32That's lovely.
08:33You're trying the Miller case.
08:34It's all in the news.
08:36He jokes that you're out for his job.
08:38Mm-hmm.
08:38Well, it's not a joke.
08:40It's exactly what I'm after.
08:42Would you please excuse us?
08:46Remember the mission.
08:47We are looking for information on the Mortons.
08:49Mm-hmm.
08:51If you knew some.
08:53Oh, it's Hallie.
08:54Oh!
08:55I don't think any of our other school chums made it.
08:59Well, it's their loss.
09:00This is quite the soiree.
09:01And you've come with Detective Murdoch.
09:03Hello.
09:05Apologies for talking business,
09:07but do you know anyone here
09:09who may have known the Mortons
09:11for the investigation?
09:12Um, well...
09:14Um, let me...
09:16Let me introduce you to Mrs. Willoughby,
09:19our neighbor.
09:19Hello.
09:20Detective Murdoch, Toronto Constabulary,
09:22and Crown Attorney F.E. Newsome.
09:24Ah.
09:25As Carmen and Escamillo,
09:28a fiery and tragic couple.
09:31But, uh, work colleagues in reality.
09:34Mm, of course.
09:35If you'll excuse me,
09:36I should check on my father.
09:38Detective Murdoch is looking for information
09:40on the Morton family.
09:41Why, they used to live right here.
09:43Yes.
09:44Um, how well did you know them?
09:47Darling, could you get us some drinks, please?
09:51Those boys were rowdy,
09:53always cavorting with the wrong kind of woman,
09:57throwing money around as though it grew on trees.
10:01Um, what can you tell me about the last days
10:05before the bank took the home back?
10:08Well, those two were fighting like something fierce.
10:11Brotherly rivalry?
10:12They fought everyone.
10:13But Ciaran and Finbar,
10:15they kept their worst for each other.
10:19What did you hear of them in the past?
10:22Finbar, he was the younger one,
10:25passed from consumption.
10:27Plenty of weepy women at that funeral.
10:31And, uh, when was this?
10:331884, if memory serves.
10:35And Ciaran?
10:36Well, he just up and left, back to Ireland.
10:39It was later that same year
10:41when the bank took this place.
10:43One day, he was just gone.
10:46Didn't even say goodbye.
10:59That sounds like Spanish or Italian.
11:01I don't recognize it.
11:03Esperanto.
11:04It means do not keep to yourself
11:05the secret of your heart, my friend.
11:08Rebenzionath Tagore.
11:10But I think I prefer the original Bengali.
11:12Some things do get lost in translation.
11:15Sorry to interrupt.
11:16I was told I might find you here.
11:18You found me.
11:19How can I help you, Mr. Jermaine?
11:21Someone contacted me
11:22looking to sell an original Bellamy.
11:24Portraiture, circa 1886.
11:26He said he'd be in first thing.
11:28Oh, very good.
11:30I'll, uh, leave you to it.
11:36He seems cultured.
11:39It's about work.
11:41I wish I could see that part of your life.
11:43It's so much of who you are.
11:47I'm sorry I should have introduced you.
11:49No, that's fine.
12:03Look at this.
12:05That is a misrepresentation of our evening.
12:08Does this not bother you?
12:09You're a married man.
12:11Surely this isn't a reputable news source.
12:13Well, these days it doesn't matter where people read something.
12:16They just believe it.
12:18I will call today and impress upon them that they must print a retraction.
12:23I can confidently say this person was a male.
12:26Well, there was a lot of wear to the pubic symphysis, which could mean he was older.
12:32I have some reason to believe that this was Kieran Morton, but he was only in his late 20s.
12:38Well, it could be him.
12:40The wear to the joints indicate an individual who endured hard physical labor.
12:44Well, I suppose he did work in his family's warehouses from an early age.
12:48If you have a photograph of him, we could compare it to a facial reconstruction.
12:53Right.
12:55And the paper fragment you mentioned on the telephone.
12:58Right.
13:00I found it amongst the bones.
13:03It's small, but...
13:10Legible.
13:10Perhaps my infrared camera could help.
13:14It does look like ink.
13:16Isn't infrared a better fit for carbon particles?
13:19Good point.
13:20Well, I also have...
13:25My ultraviolet light.
13:29Butterscotch.
13:43Well done.
13:44This is quite a piece.
13:47Such exquisite form, striking color.
13:50Who's the artist?
13:52Oh, who knows?
13:53Picked up in Chinatown for a dime.
13:57Oh, no.
13:58You!
14:00Get out of my way!
14:07A dime, you said?
14:11Oh, no.
14:17Want to take the portrait, Mr. Fisher?
14:19Did you recognize Sefton Bellamy's work?
14:22I don't know who this Bellamy is.
14:25I just wanted to take something.
14:26For the money?
14:27My life is an easy street like it is for them.
14:31You're a tradesman. You make an honest living.
14:33Still not enough to put food on the table for my family.
14:35You telling me that's right?
14:37What's right and wrong isn't what's at issue here.
14:39You broke the law.
14:43You see them hosting their big parties, acting like kings and queens.
14:47I wanted to take something that mattered to them.
14:50Something money can't buy.
14:51What you took was a portrait worth upwards of $300.
14:55$300?
14:56I could have fed my kids for three years on that.
14:59And the criminal code recommends a 10-year sentence for theft of anything over $50.
15:10$300.
15:13It's a badge of honor to be written up in the gossip pages if you ask me.
15:16I wasn't asking.
15:18Bruce gets written about all the time, sir.
15:20I sometimes think that she's trying to.
15:23Anything else?
15:25Oh, yes, sir.
15:26The button found with the bones from the Sauvageau haberdashery established 1886.
15:32Something wrong, sir.
15:33Well, that rules out the Morton family as suspects or victims since they lost the home to the bank in
15:381884.
15:40Whoever died with those buttons on them has to be connected to the Hobbs family.
15:44But, sir, they said that the wall hadn't been worked on after they moved in.
15:48Someone's mistaken.
15:50Or lying.
15:57Your actions don't speak well of this office, Miss Newsom.
16:00You know full well that that photograph was taken out of context.
16:04I'm sure the editor will be issuing a retraction.
16:07Of the tattle?
16:08Not likely.
16:10And it seems the damage is already done.
16:12Well, it's frightening to think of a world where cameras become commonplace.
16:15I look forward to it.
16:17It'll force people to comport themselves with restraint.
16:19You have no issue with my capability as an attorney being thrown into question by mere gossip?
16:25These days, in the court of public opinion, your image is more important than your arguments.
16:30You need to be more careful.
16:39I was very glad to hear the portrait was recovered.
16:42Have I been called in to retrieve it?
16:45Actually, I had more questions regarding the human remains.
16:50Have you identified the poor soul?
16:52Not as yet.
16:54Mr. Donnelly, how long have you been with the family?
16:58I was hired in 1887.
17:01Miss Hobbs told me that wall was never worked on since the family moved in.
17:06But I have reason to believe the renovations took place after 1886.
17:12Oh, yes.
17:13It was quite a process.
17:15Mr. Hobbs wanted to have all the latest conveniences.
17:18That was right when they moved in.
17:21Miss Hobbs was very young.
17:22But you remember it.
17:25I do.
17:25And yet you chose not to tell a member of our constabulary after we found a body.
17:32I do apologize.
17:33But there were renovations throughout the home at that time.
17:36I don't recall that specific area in the sitting room being worked on.
17:41What kind of renovations?
17:43The radiators with a boiler, full plumbing, even electric wiring.
17:51I'd like you to think very carefully back to that time.
17:56Do you recall anything strange about the family, the staff, the installations?
18:03There was a dispute with contractors.
18:06But it was nothing.
18:08Tell me.
18:09Our foreman had a wage conflict with a mason, I think.
18:14Man just didn't show up for work.
18:16I assisted for a few days, but we found a replacement soon after.
18:21Do you recall their names?
18:23I'm afraid not.
18:28One more thing.
18:31We found a fragment of paper with the deceased, and on it was only one word.
18:38Butterscotch.
18:39Does that mean anything to you?
18:43Perhaps it's an item from a grocery list?
18:47When can I take receipt of the painting?
18:50When we are finished with it.
18:51In the meantime, you can tell Miss Hobbs that it is safe and sound here with me.
19:02Thank you, Henry.
19:03Mr. Donnelly mentioned a contractor who did the renovations on their home in 1887.
19:08Could you please track him down?
19:10Right away, sir.
19:12I've noticed something strange about this painting.
19:15Do you see how the light reflects differently in this area?
19:21I do.
19:23It's because a different varnish has been used.
19:26Also, the brush strokes seem to have raised the paint.
19:29I believe an alteration or repair has been done to this area.
19:34Hmm.
19:36Do you think it's hiding something?
19:37It could be.
19:39Now, if I were to remove the top layer of this area...
19:42No, detective.
19:43We can't just permanently alter someone's private property on a loose theory.
19:50Some artists will sketch their subjects with charcoal prior to laying on any paint.
19:56So I understand, but what does it matter?
19:59Perhaps my infrared film could reveal what this alteration is hiding.
20:15I worry it's only getting worse, even with the retraction.
20:19People read the tattle to unwind. No one takes it seriously.
20:23Besides, I know a certain someone with a subscription.
20:27Now cancelled. Thank you very much.
20:30Well, I wouldn't worry about it too much.
20:32The world will be on to a new scandal tomorrow.
20:35Here's some more to help you forget about today.
20:44Did your friend end up helping you with the case you were working on?
20:47I wouldn't call Mr. Germain a friend, per se.
20:51Sorry. I speak seven languages. Sometimes my English is...
20:53He's more of a consultant. And a useful one. He caught the thief.
20:59He just seems so familiar.
21:01He did. It was his lab.
21:04Let me introduce you to some friends who are also colleagues.
21:09Sergeant, this is Miss Violet Hart and Miss Effie Newsome.
21:14Oh, Crown Attorney Newsome.
21:16Yes.
21:17There's so many accolades.
21:19The Toronto Gazette called you a virtuoso in the courtroom.
21:21No. Thank you.
21:24And your sweetheart, Detective Murdoch, will he be joining us tonight?
21:27No. He is not my sweetheart.
21:30No, no. Of course not.
22:00No.
22:01It seems the Hobbs family has erased someone from their history.
22:07Do you think you can have all the files on the Miller case sent to my office by lunch?
22:10Hoping to get up to date on the latest by the end of the day.
22:13I'm perfectly capable of handling that file myself. Thank you.
22:18Crown Attorney Burke didn't tell you.
22:20What?
22:21Excuse me.
22:26It would seem someone is intent on sullying your reputation.
22:31You've been removed from the case.
22:39This could take some time.
22:41It's a painstaking process.
22:44I am enwrapped in your meticulousness.
22:54Is there no chance you'll take off both layers with one stroke?
23:05Oh, apologies.
23:08Just...
23:09There's no other technological solution?
23:12No.
23:13Just a great deal of focus and effort.
23:18I see.
23:19Well, I was on my way to help Miss Hart with something.
23:22Oh.
23:23Did she tell you what?
23:24She did not.
23:27Only one way to find out.
23:30Miss Hart.
23:32Ah, good. You're here.
23:34Hold this.
23:35I've been working on this all day, but forehands make for quicker work.
23:39What are these?
23:40Spacers to mark depth and clay in the place of flesh.
23:44What are we sculpting?
23:46Hmm.
23:47Well, I am working on reconstructing the face in efforts to identify our victim.
23:52Well, it's in the box, Miss Hart.
24:00The victim.
24:01Oh.
24:08Sir?
24:09I tracked down the foreman who was working on the renovation in 1887.
24:12He was able to give me the name of the worker who walked off the job.
24:15Very good, Henry.
24:16See what else you can find out.
24:18Are you learning Morse code?
24:21Yes, sir.
24:22To talk to machines.
24:26Henry, who is that woman?
24:29I'm not sure, sir.
24:35Excuse me.
24:39Hello, I'm Detective Murdoch.
24:40How can I help you, ma'am?
24:42My son, Jeb, is in custody for theft.
24:44I am sure it is a misunderstanding.
24:47He would never.
24:48You're Jeb Fisher's mother?
24:50I am.
24:57Can you describe your relationship with the Hobbs family for me and Mrs. Fisher?
25:03John Hobbs is my father.
25:07This is your family?
25:08It was.
25:09But father disowned me shortly after we moved to Toronto.
25:14I was too much for him.
25:15He had a new wife and a new life.
25:17When was this?
25:191887.
25:20In the fall.
25:23Do you recall anyone around the family going missing at that time?
25:28A bit aside from yourself.
25:30No, but that was a lifetime ago.
25:32Why are you asking me about this?
25:34Detective?
25:35I have Mr. Fisher.
25:36Jack.
25:38Thank you, Henry.
25:39All right.
25:40Please have a seat, Mr. Fisher.
25:42Your mother was just telling me that you are John Hobbs' grandson.
25:47I didn't want to get you in trouble.
25:49I know.
25:52I got asked to work on Hobbs' home, and I saw this, and I got so mad they covered Ma
25:56up.
25:58I just ripped it off the wall.
26:00It was stupid.
26:01This was nothing but a youthful mistake.
26:03We'll see.
26:04What can you tell me about the body that was found?
26:07All I know is I found him.
26:09What are you talking about?
26:11The remains of an unidentified male were found in the wall of the sitting room.
26:16Oh, my God.
26:18I've determined that this all occurred when you were still a member of the household.
26:23Did you witness anything?
26:25A heated argument or a dispute before you left?
26:28Only between my father and me, I wasn't paying much attention to the rest of the household.
26:34Does the word butterscotch mean anything to you?
26:37That was also found with the remains.
26:40No, I don't have any clue what any of this means.
26:44I'm only here for my son.
26:46You say I was erased from that painting.
26:49I wish it had stayed that way.
26:52From what you describe of her reaction, I can't imagine Mrs. Fisher would have wanted the portrait herself.
26:57No.
26:57I have to agree.
26:58But it is quite a coincidence that she left the house the same year that our victim here was killed.
27:04So, not a suspect for the theft, but perhaps for the murder.
27:08It would help if we knew the identity of the dead man.
27:12Mrs. Hart.
27:14Should be finished today.
27:16Very good.
27:17I'll leave you to it.
27:19Sure do hope someone recognizes this mystery victim.
27:22There weren't many photographs from the time, especially if he was a workman or staff.
27:28Well then, I have a favor to ask of you.
27:31Another one.
27:34One only yours.
27:37I don't understand. This person is my half-sister?
27:41The birth records from St. John confirm Edwina's story.
27:46Well, if it's true, my father must have had good reason to not tell me about her.
27:51And you have no memory of Edwina?
27:53None whatsoever. I was barely two when she ran off.
27:58What about you, Mr. Donnelly? Surely you remember her?
28:00I do apologize, detective, but I was following Mr. Hobbs' wishes to not speak of Edwina again, and it didn't
28:08seem relevant.
28:10What was Edwina like?
28:12I only started with the family that year.
28:15Surely she made an impression.
28:18It was the company she kept that left the impression.
28:21I spent a lifetime building ships for the crown for this country.
28:28All those years.
28:30And she brought shame to the family by cavorting with a criminal.
28:36Father, you don't need to get upset.
28:37What gives you the right to nose into my family's business?
28:41Get out of my house!
28:44Father, it's all right. Calm down.
28:46My little butterscotch.
28:49At least she betrayed her own father.
28:51Of course, Father.
28:54And you didn't know that Butterscotch was Mr. Hobbs' pet name for his daughter?
28:59As I said, I did not know her well.
29:03Right.
29:03He also said that Edwina had been cavorting with a criminal at that time.
29:09Do you know who that was?
29:11I believe his name was, uh, Sebastian.
29:15Mr. Hobbs considered him a dangerous influence.
29:18Do you know what's happened to this Sebastian?
29:21I wouldn't know.
29:23Gone the same time as Edwina.
29:26Right.
29:32Your father's nickname for you was found with the victim's body.
29:37And he was killed the same year that you left home.
29:41How do you explain that?
29:42I can't.
29:43You have been less than truthful with me, Mrs. Fisher.
29:46I didn't want to complicate things for Jeb.
29:50This man's Sebastian.
29:53Did he have an altercation with someone in your household?
29:56No. Why would you think that?
29:58He was your criminal lover, was he not?
30:01Ah. Always the same accusations.
30:03Untrustworthy. A thief.
30:05Your father characterized him as such, yes?
30:07My father objected to him, not because he was a cheat or whatever lies you've heard.
30:11He would not let us marry because Sebastian is a Jew.
30:15He moved to Montreal, I followed him.
30:18He's a good, honest man and a good father.
30:22We've attempted to reconstruct the victim's face.
30:25I'll show that to you now.
30:27Tell me if it's anyone you recognize.
30:35It looks just like him, but...
30:37Who?
30:38Mr. Edwards.
30:40Father's manservant.
30:41He took care of father's affairs.
30:43I saw him the night I left.
30:45Tell me about that night.
30:48I wrote a letter before I left to reason with father, and I signed it.
30:53Your butterscotch, perhaps what you found.
30:56Then this Mr. Edwards caught you leaving.
30:59He didn't try and stop me.
31:02He'd seen how controlling father was.
31:04He'd seen it my whole life.
31:07He let me go.
31:09And I have been forever grateful to him.
31:12And that's the last I saw him.
31:15Until now.
31:17If Edwina wanted to get out so badly, there's no telling what she might have done.
31:22Her story about the father rings true. I'm inclined to believe it.
31:26You think Hobbs could have killed Edwards?
31:28Could have blamed him for letting Edwina go?
31:30It would be difficult to get a truth out of him that isn't mixed with delusion.
31:35Should we bring him in?
31:36No. I believe he would be more lucid if his surroundings were familiar.
31:41I'll go see him at his home.
31:45I'll go see him.
31:51Serge.
31:52Hi.
31:54Look at this little hat I made out of clay.
31:57How lovely.
31:58Did we have plans?
32:00No. I honestly didn't think I'd come in to find you, but...
32:04Here I am.
32:06I was embarrassed at my mistake last night.
32:09Such a bad impression.
32:11It was... memorable.
32:15Is there anything I can do?
32:18As a matter of fact...
32:24Are you sure this is a good idea?
32:26Yes. We have it all planned out.
32:30And we're set.
32:31Just play your part and it will all be over soon.
32:40Hello.
32:45Mind if I have one of those?
32:57You come here often?
33:02Stop it. What's that?
33:05Oh, look. That table over there.
33:11I saw a shine of light from this glass.
33:14What's going on, Roy?
33:15Excuse me, detective, but what are you doing?
33:17It's a hidden camera.
33:19You pathetic little man.
33:21If I ever see my face in the table ever again, I will have your license.
33:27Come, nice.
33:41Mr. Donnelly, I'd like to speak with Mr. Hobbs.
33:51Hello, Mr. Hobbs.
33:53Do you remember me? I'm Detective Murdoch.
33:56I don't wish to upset you again, but I need to ask you about the day your daughter Edwina left
34:03home.
34:05Butterscotch.
34:06Butterscotch.
34:07She left you a letter. Did you receive it?
34:11Foolish girl. I told her you can't trust those people.
34:16The letter. Did Mr. Edwards give you the letter?
34:20Edwards.
34:24Edwards! I told you to protect her, man!
34:30Yes, sir. I'm sorry, sir. She's gone.
34:34You let her go? You did it!
34:37You did it!
34:38My daughter! My daughter!
34:41I'm afraid she's gone, sir. She's gone to marry Mr. Fisher.
34:45Oh, she will bring shame to the family.
34:51I fired you. I knocked you down.
34:55And you come back?
34:57You're a fool!
34:59I will beat you to the ground again!
35:02I'll beat you to the ground!
35:04Stop. Stop. Mr. Hobbs.
35:07Mr. Hobbs. Stop.
35:09Please, sit down.
35:10It's all right.
35:14I'll fetch someone to help you.
35:27You and yours are home.
35:30Ah!
35:35Oh!
35:36Oh!
35:41Oh!
35:46No, no.
35:48Oh, yes.
36:07Miss Hobbs?
36:08The constable said he was calling on Detective Murdoch.
36:11Hmm.
36:12Something I can help with?
36:17I don't think I can keep it like this.
36:20This person isn't part of my family.
36:22She betrayed my father.
36:22Yes, but, Miss Hobbs, do you know the reason Edwina was disowned?
36:26She only desired to be free to live how she wanted.
36:29She is a flawed moral character.
36:32Look, she raised a thief.
36:33Her son did make a mistake, but aren't you curious to know your own flesh and blood?
36:39Why would she leave our family?
36:45Look, she's out in the bullpen, if you'd like to ask her yourself.
36:49Oh, I don't know.
36:52It was your father who cut all ties because she wanted to marry a Jewish man.
36:56I know a little about facing that kind of prejudice.
37:00Are you Jewish?
37:01My parents were.
37:02I myself remain unconvinced as to the existence of any deity.
37:10She's your sister.
37:18Detective Watts.
37:19One moment.
37:23Well, that's a start.
37:27What is it, Constable?
37:28I can't seem to find Detective Murdoch.
37:30He hasn't called in, either.
37:31Hmm.
37:47Help!
37:49Help me!
37:59Detective Watts, can I help you?
38:01Did Detective Murdoch call in Mr. Hobbs last night?
38:04I saw him in.
38:05When I returned from my errands, he had left.
38:09I'd like to speak to Mr. Hobbs.
38:11Oh, my God.
38:15Oh, my God.
38:41What's your belief?
38:41Mr. Hobbs is particularly tired today,
38:44so I'm not sure what help he might be.
38:46We won't keep him long.
38:50What is happening with the lights?
38:52I am sorry. Yes, our electrical wiring
38:54seems to be having issues.
38:57These contractors are crudely incompetent.
38:59Sir, Detective Watts to see you.
39:01I'm sorry to bother you, but I have some questions
39:04about Detective Murdoch's visit last night.
39:06Where is my painting man?
39:09You'll soon have it.
39:10Detective, I think something's going on.
39:13In a minute, Higgins.
39:14My girls are in that painting, you know.
39:16Mm-hmm.
39:17Did the detective give you any indication
39:19where he might be going after speaking to you?
39:21I saw him last night, that bastard.
39:24I'm sorry. I told you, Mr. Hobbs isn't feeling the best.
39:28I can speak for myself.
39:31That betrayer stood in front of me
39:33and told me what he'd done.
39:36I gave him a proper lashing, and he deserved it.
39:39Mr. Hobbs is clearly in state.
39:42You must excuse what happened last night.
39:44Mr. Hobbs?
39:45Where's Detective Murdoch?
39:46Where he belongs.
39:48I knocked him to the ground.
39:50What gives him the right?
39:52This!
39:53This is my house!
40:00Sir?
40:12Safety first!
40:24Henry!
40:25Detective?
40:29Mind your swings.
40:33Sir, you must calm yourself.
40:35He doesn't know what he's saying.
40:36Let him speak.
40:37Did you hurt Detective Murdoch?
40:39Is he injured?
40:40I'm fine, Watts.
40:42What?
40:43In spite of someone's best efforts?
40:46Mr. Hobbs just said...
40:48Were you inside a wall?
40:49I'd still be there, were it not for Henry?
40:52There's nothing, sir.
40:54And it wasn't Mr. Hobbs, but Mr. Donnelly, who attacked me.
40:58You are mistaken, sir.
41:00There is no way Mr. Hobbs could have done this.
41:03Just like there is no way he could have put Mr. Edwards in that wall 25 years ago.
41:09This is madness!
41:11Is it?
41:13Mr. Hobbs was furious about that letter.
41:16And Edwina was gone.
41:18And his manservant, who had been so faithful to him,
41:21had betrayed him.
41:23And in a fit of rage, he attacked him and knocked him unconscious.
41:28When Mr. Hobbs believed that I was his old manservant,
41:32he said that he fired him and knocked him to the ground,
41:36but was surprised when Edwards came back.
41:40Those are not the words of a man who believed he had committed murder.
41:44No.
41:46You found Mr. Edwards.
41:49And you thought him dead.
41:51And in order to protect your employer,
41:54either out of loyalty or ambition,
41:57you put Mr. Edwards in that wall,
42:00you sealed him up and left him to die.
42:05No.
42:06He was already dead.
42:08I was just hiding what he'd done, I swear.
42:11Mr. Edwards tried desperately to claw his way out.
42:15But he was alive.
42:17The evidence is clear.
42:19I didn't know.
42:21And what of me, last night?
42:24What do you have to say about that?
42:31To the truth, winning out.
42:35Well, it wouldn't have happened without the help of good friends.
42:39Serge.
42:40So, what did Crown Attorney Burke think of Davenport's little scheme?
42:44I didn't tell him.
42:45I'm not going to play Roy's game.
42:48As long as it's over.
42:56Roy?
42:57Miss Newsome.
42:58I'm surprised your little lady friend isn't with you.
43:02Anais and I aren't an item anymore.
43:05Oh.
43:06Did she see you for who you truly are?
43:09I was the one who ended things.
43:11It was her camera in that bag.
43:13Her cousin works at the tattle.
43:15Why didn't you say something that night?
43:17To savor the embarrassment.
43:19But what she did was unforgivable.
43:21Even if it was a misguided attempt to help my career.
43:25If I'm to best you...
43:28It's to be in the appropriate arena.
43:31The courtroom.
43:48The courtroom.
43:49The courtroom.
44:00It's
44:02The courtroom.
44:03The courtroom.
44:06Games.
44:09But all of the people in the scheduled through,
