00:14Dr. Newsom, you're standing trial in the murder of your wife, Lucinda Helmsworthy Newsom.
00:19You've entered a plea of not guilty. Will you be acting in your own defense?
00:23Yes, Your Honor, I am confident that this is but a teensy misunderstanding, a sous-son of confusion, if you
00:34like.
00:34The truth will come presently to light, and we'll all be home by lunchtime.
00:39Very well. The Crown may proceed with its case.
00:42Why aren't you representing him?
00:44He's issued representation.
00:45Oh, bless him.
00:47He refused.
00:49Why not just say that, then? You always have to be so high and mighty.
00:52The Crown calls Dr. Rupert Newsom.
00:55Dr. Newsom, you are not compelled to testify in your own trial.
00:59Oh, for sure. All the quicker to set the record straight.
01:09Oh, I promised to tell the truth, so help me God, and all that other business.
01:17Dr. Newsom, please inform the court what you were doing in the hours that led up to Mrs. Helmsworthy Newsom's
01:23death.

10:28that's everything what what does that mean what what about the estate well it goes to mrs helmsworthy
10:36newsome's next of kin uh her brother moi no her husband
10:45rich
10:57i never saw him
11:00we know you picked up mr newsome at the barber shop mr fanshaw picked him up he barreled his way
11:06into my carriage and held a razor to my neck he nearly cut me are you then saying that you
11:13didn't
11:13the bet mr newsome in his escape bet him what i beg your pardon i didn't have a bet with
11:20newsome no not
11:21a bet a bet my good man are you quite all right what did he say to you when he
11:26got into your carriage
11:28he told me to bring him to my home now i refused of course but then he said it again
11:34so i assented but
11:36when we arrived i refused to allow him in right where did he go then to the boathouse he has
11:43likely
11:43sailed halfway across lake ontario by now that's what he told you to say yes where did he actually go
11:56east across the acreage the property to the east is the newsome estate all right the constables are
12:02likely there already let's retrace his steps
12:17sir sir
12:23Toronto constabulary what can i do for you you work here at the newsome estate i keep the stables did
12:30you happen to see rupert newsome here isn't he in jail he's escaped well i saw someone crossing the
12:39fields earlier taking just the route you are now never crossed my mind it'd be mr newsome you didn't
12:45see his face no ma'am that was quite a distance and which direction was he going towards the main
12:51house
12:54sir this is mad lucinda had an appointment to transfer half the estate to myself it was what
13:00dadar wanted as soon as i was released from prison when was this appointment next week then it didn't
13:07happen well no she died upon her death everything falls to the estate the estate follows her will yes
13:15we have to do i'm sorry mr hamsworthy i wouldn't even know what to do with that money oh i
13:20do
13:25truth henry be reasonable
13:31what do you think henry well we could give him a share no that doesn't sound like something i would
13:38do
13:38but half the estate was intended to be mine it was the wish of dear departed lucinda and the wish
13:44of
13:44dear departed dadar about that dear departed dadar promised me that sculpture remember but then dear
13:52departed dadar died and dear departed lucinda refused to give it to me so what of it you've already
13:58stolen it i didn't know such thing pardon the interruption henry have you seen rupert newsome
14:06here what what would rupert be doing here a witness may have seen him crossing from the fansha estate to
14:12the house no he hasn't been here pardon me someone was in my kitchen
14:24now this door is always locked we were told the lock is jammed and it cannot be used
14:44the lock is jammed but it's jammed open this cannot be locked stands to reason that rupert would have
14:51known about that given that it's his house but what was he doing sneaking into his own kitchen
15:02what's this coco was rupert pointing us in this direction
15:22a servant staircase a servant staircase i had no idea that this was there
15:28shall we
15:41leads to the upstairs hallway this is where the killer struck lucinda helmsworthy with the walking
15:47stick is there the blood spatters she was driven down the hallway this way
15:54to the main stairwell at the end of the hall is rupert trying to show us how someone else may
16:02have
16:02entered the house that night he's trying to prove his innocence
16:16i believe he's trying to prove his innocence
16:18well sir we have not found him as yet but he was at the newsome estate constables are still there
16:25searching for clues what was newsome thinking anyway i believe he's trying to prove his innocence
16:32everyone knows he did it he's just run off to make up new evidence to try and sully the case
16:36history does suggest rupert newsome cannot be trusted detective they found something at the newsome estate
16:47i come bearing a deeper understanding of our shall we say impasse what i assume you're familiar with
16:55criminal forfeiture why would you assume that it's an established and immutable part of our just commune it
17:02states that a criminal cannot profit from his crimes so what of it i've done nothing wrong no no but
17:08your brother
17:09has and if he is convicted of killing my sister he will get nothing ego ipso facto prima faci you
17:19will get nothing no no no no no that that can't be right ah but it is it is everything
17:30is mine
17:32including that sculpture that you stole which i insist you return at once
17:51constable's founded just over here by the summer house sir rupert's prison clothes so he was here
17:57could he be hiding inside he may have been but there's no sign of him now the lads are searching
18:01the grounds again we found a fresh patch of oil and tire tracks on the road down below rupert may
18:08have driven off the estate i'll speak with the staff to see if any of the autos are missing right
18:15there you are what is all this nonsense about a criminal forfeiture i beg your pardon well they're
18:21saying rupert gets nothing but the will states he's to get everything well obviously he wouldn't inherit
18:26anything if he murdered the testatrix he didn't murder one of those his wife
18:31he can't have her money if he killed her but that's not fair yes it is don't worry ruthie we'll
18:36find rupert and we'll prove his innocence yes yes yes yes he'll prove his innocence what what do you
18:47mean dear well only that a jury could be encouraged to buy the medicine
19:07rupert
19:08rupert
19:32Hello.
19:34I took the motor oil out of the auto stables
19:37and spilled it on the ground.
19:39That was awfully clever.
19:40I am clever, Effie.
19:41I just don't feel the need to show it off all the time.
19:44Anyway, as soon as they find there's no car missing,
19:47I am going back to jail.
19:49No, you're going back to jail now.
19:51Oh, no, please, Effie.
19:53I'm innocent.
19:54So you snuck into the house just to show
19:56that somebody else could do it?
19:58Why not just bring it up at trial?
20:00Well, I may not have been entirely truthful on the stand.
20:05Rupert, what really happened that night?
20:07Well, most of what I said was true.
20:10After the party, Lucy and I were alone.
20:14Come to bed, Purdy.
20:17What a moment, dear?
20:20Don't tarry too long.
20:21I have the most wondrous joke to tell you.
20:27What was the joke?
20:28I haven't any idea.
20:31You see, I never joined her upstairs.
20:34After a moment, I heard something.
20:37No!
20:39Yes, terrible sound from the staircase.
20:42No, the old kitchen door.
20:45I knew what that meant.
20:47Lucinda had a visitor.
20:49I was to wait downstairs.
20:51Who was the visitor?
20:53Well, the killer, presumably.
20:55Initially, of course, I assumed it was Bucky.
20:58Bucky Fanshawe?
20:59Well, yes.
21:00Bucky and Lucinda had been carrying on an affair for some months.
21:04Thus, she jammed the lock on the old kitchen door and reopened the disused servant's staircase
21:09so he could enter unnoticed and do unto her his carnal neighbors.
21:15And you knew about this?
21:16Oh, yes.
21:18Lucinda and I had an arrangement.
21:20She could get lucky with Bucky, and I was free to enjoy the pleasure of her contentment.
21:25You can see why I could not bring this up on the stand.
21:28It would cast shame upon Lucinda's memory.
21:31And it would give you a motive.
21:32Oh, yes, I suppose it would.
21:36So Bucky killed Lucinda?
21:38No, no.
21:40No, Effie, I confronted Bucky straight away upon my escape.
21:43He said he didn't do it.
21:44And you believed him?
21:46Effie, he's my top chum.
21:48He was sleeping with your wife.
21:50Well, somebody had to.
21:52You don't understand.
21:53Bucky was at home that night emptying himself into the latrine
21:57after being made sick by that awful tartare that Lucy insisted on serving.
22:01So somebody else entered the kitchen door that night.
22:04And whoever it was killed Lucinda.
22:07But how did the killer get a hold of your walking stick?
22:10I don't know.
22:11Oh, I left it in the hallway.
22:14Listen, Rupert, we will find whoever killed Lucinda.
22:17But I have to return you to jail.
22:19Oh, no, no, no, no, please.
22:21No, no, you can't.
22:22Look.
22:23Look.
22:25I received it in prison.
22:26I don't know who sent it.
22:32You are not getting out of this alive.
22:36It's a threat.
22:37I'm aware.
22:40Please, Effie Speffie.
22:42You have to keep me safe until we catch you.
22:46Please.
22:51Lucinda was having an affair.
22:54And Rupert wrote you an entire account of his innocence
22:58and placed it in your postbox.
23:00Yes.
23:02With no indication of where he might be hiding.
23:05I'm afraid not.
23:09Right then.
23:11If that is the case,
23:13then according to Rupert,
23:15whoever came through the kitchen door that night
23:17is the murderer.
23:19And his assertion that Bucky Fanshawe's innocent
23:22is suspect at best.
23:24The tartar did seem off.
23:26And Lucinda was displeased
23:28with just about everyone that day.
23:31Anyone in particular?
23:34I did see her having a row with her stable hand.
23:38Mr. Slattery,
23:40why was Mrs. Helmsworthy upset with you
23:43on the night of her murder?
23:44I told her one of the horses got loose.
23:47Couldn't find him anywhere.
23:49She dressed me down,
23:50but it wasn't my fault.
23:51The gate was broken.
23:53And where were you after the party?
23:55I was out with Mr. Helmsworthy,
23:56looking for the horse.
23:58That's right.
23:59We were searching all night.
24:02I still have no idea what happened
24:04to that poor animal.
24:06I understand Mrs. Helmsworthy
24:08was quite displeased with you that evening.
24:11Lucy, scarcely.
24:13She said I was being too hard on Rupert
24:16as if he didn't deserve all that he got,
24:18but mostly she was cross with Ruth
24:23about that damnable sculpture.
24:25Her own father promised me that sculpture
24:27on his deathbed.
24:29I thought you said he promised it to you
24:31during the hunt.
24:32You sound just like her.
24:33What does it matter?
24:33He promised it to me.
24:35Where were you after the party?
24:37We went home shortly before nine.
24:39Oh, but I did see Lucinda excoriating the chef.
24:43Probably because the tartare was inedible.
24:46Oh, really?
24:47I quite liked it.
24:49She kept asking,
24:51where's the tartare?
24:52Is it ready?
24:53Is it ready?
24:55I told her to close her mouth, horrible woman.
25:00She's dead, Mr. Debussy.
25:03Ah, yes.
25:05Where were you after the party?
25:08In my quarters, asleep.
25:11Was anyone else with you?
25:12No.
25:16Chef Debussy has no alibi for the time of the murder.
25:19He claims he's never been upstairs here
25:22where the murder took place
25:23and that he had no prior knowledge
25:24of the servant's staircase that leads here.
25:27So if we find his finger marks,
25:29we'll know he's lying.
25:36Henry?
25:37Hmm?
25:38Yes?
25:38Is there something in that dumbwaiter?
25:42No, there isn't.
25:44Can I see?
25:48Oh, is there something in the dumbwaiter?
25:50Hmm.
25:52Yes, there is.
25:55Detective?
25:58I think we may have found our sculpture.
26:05Your finger marks were found
26:07all over the servant's staircase
26:10and in the hallway
26:12where Mrs. Helmsworthy was killed.
26:14Both places you claimed you had not been.
26:17Is that so?
26:19Yes.
26:20I believe you snuck into the home
26:24in order to steal this item.
26:27Mrs. Helmsworthy caught you
26:29and you murdered her.
26:39I went back to the house that night
26:41to retrieve my sculpture.
26:44Lucinda refused to give it to me
26:46so I just took matters into my own hands.
26:49Rupert told me about Bucky's secret entrance
26:51which led me right to where Lucinda kept my statue.
26:57Once I got it
26:58I heard someone coming up the main stairs.
27:05I was worried about being caught with it
27:07so I stashed him
27:09in the hopes that I would
27:11come back and retrieve him.
27:14I probably should have made a run for it.
27:20Who was coming up the main staircase?
27:24I heard Lucinda say
27:26what are you doing here?
27:27But I was halfway out the door
27:29so I didn't see anybody.
27:32I didn't kill Lucinda.
27:35I don't know who did.
27:37If it wasn't Ruth Newsome
27:38then who was it?
27:39She may be lying.
27:41According to her story
27:42the killer came up the main staircase.
27:44If so
27:45Rupert Newsome would have seen him.
27:47One of them is wrong.
27:49All lying.
27:51Higgins
27:52what are you hanging around for?
27:54I'm waiting for word about my wife sir.
27:57We should lock you up with her.
27:59Did you really think you could hide this thing?
28:01Terribly sorry sir I panicked.
28:03I know Ruth would never actually hurt anyone.
28:08Take her home.
28:09One more cock up
28:10and you're off the job.
28:12Thank you sir.
28:14If he's hiding anything about Newsome
28:16I'll hang him myself.
28:25Don't worry Ruthie.
28:26We still have some money.
28:27You're a moving picture star.
28:28I'm a working actor Henry.
28:30One cannot survive on the wages
28:32of a working actor.
28:34Well
28:34perhaps Rupert will be found not guilty
28:36and we'll still be rich.
28:38Yes and perhaps you could arrange that.
28:41We are not bribing the jury darling.
28:43No no of course not.
28:44No but you as a police
28:47constable.
28:48Yes you as a police constable
28:49you could arrest someone else for murder.
28:50Like um
28:51like him.
28:53You mean to arrest him
28:54is a person for murder?
28:55No no no no no.
28:57You misunderstand me.
28:57No I'm suggesting that
28:58instead of Rupert
29:00you arrest someone
29:00that nobody cares about.
29:01I'm sure there are people
29:02that care about that man dear.
29:04Well not him then.
29:05You're one of these people
29:06that's just sort of around.
29:07You know
29:07not a real person.
29:10Him.
29:11Or um
29:12No him.
29:14They are all real people dear.
29:16Someone else.
29:17Whoever.
29:19Dear
29:19I do not just simply
29:21arrest an innocent person
29:22off the streets.
29:24I'm not suggesting that.
29:26My God.
29:26Henry
29:27you really are impossible.
29:35Miss Newsome.
29:38Detective.
29:40I was just here to
29:42check on something.
29:44Not hiding the fact
29:46that Rupert Newsome
29:47is inside this lodging?
29:48How did you know?
29:50That letter was odd.
29:52And your reaction
29:53to the chief constable
29:54threatening to punish
29:55anyone aiding Rupert Newsome
29:57was palpable.
29:58Let me explain.
29:59You have been aiding
30:00an escaped prisoner.
30:01I highly doubt
30:02you have a very good
30:03explanation.
30:05I intended to turn him in
30:06but
30:07what was that?
30:11Toronjo Constabulary
30:12stop!
30:14Rupert!
30:16Did he
30:17rip my neckerchief?
30:25Stop!
30:42Who was that man?
30:44I don't know.
30:46The hands around my throat
30:47suggest maybe the killer.
30:49He received a threat
30:50while he was in jail.
30:52That's why I allowed him
30:53to stay here.
30:53I feared for his safety.
30:55That was not
30:56your decision to make.
30:58You will be returned
30:59to custody.
31:01But first,
31:02your sister
31:03said the killer
31:04came up the main stairs
31:06which means
31:06you would have seen him.
31:08Oh.
31:09Well,
31:11perhaps
31:11there was a
31:12teensy detail
31:14I may have left out.
31:14Rupert.
31:16What happened?
31:17Oh,
31:18as I said,
31:19I was in the sitting room
31:20when I heard
31:21the kitchen door open.
31:25Instead of
31:25simply
31:26waiting there
31:27for the duration
31:28of the romantic interlude,
31:29I slipped out of the house
31:30for a few moments.
31:31Where did you go?
31:32I came here
31:33to the summer house.
31:35I wanted to play
31:36little wars.
31:38Bucky,
31:38Bucky and I
31:39have an ongoing battle.
31:41Pew, pew.
31:42You and Bucky
31:42were here together?
31:43No, no, no, no.
31:44I thought he was
31:45with Lucinda,
31:46but in fact,
31:47he was homesick
31:48with the tartar.
31:49I was here alone.
31:51I've read
31:51H.G. Wells' book
31:52about little wars.
31:54I've played with my son.
31:56The game is
31:56a two-person game
31:57at minimum,
31:58which means
31:58if you were here alone,
31:59you were cheating.
32:01How dare you?
32:02Rupert,
32:03you've deliberately
32:04withheld information
32:05about an ongoing
32:06murder investigation,
32:07a murder for which
32:08you may very well hang
32:09because you were ashamed
32:10you cheated
32:11at some silly game?
32:12How dare you,
32:14madam?
32:14How dare you?
32:16Pew!
32:17Mr. Newsome,
32:19recount for me,
32:20please,
32:22precisely your movements
32:23after you left
32:24the sitting room.
32:25Oh, well,
32:26I've...
32:27I was here
32:27for no more
32:28than ten minutes.
32:29I left to return
32:30to the main house.
32:33But Lucinda's companion
32:34had not yet left.
32:36She was talking
32:37to a man,
32:37but I couldn't
32:38make out his voice.
32:39I heard Lucinda
32:41say...
32:41Casanova.
32:42Casanova.
32:44Casanova.
32:45Mmm,
32:45something about Casanova.
32:48At the time,
32:48I assumed she was
32:49referring to Bucky,
32:50but perhaps it was
32:51another paramour.
32:53Did you hear
32:54anything else?
32:55Oh,
32:56yes,
32:57something about dinner.
33:00You like it?
33:01Yummy,
33:02delicious.
33:03She laughed.
33:04That was the last
33:05thing I heard.
33:07Her sweet laughter
33:12ringing out
33:13across the grounds.
33:16Did you return
33:17to the main house
33:18at any point?
33:19Well,
33:19I assume she and Bucky
33:20had not finished
33:21their rendezvous,
33:23so I returned here
33:24and moved to Cannon,
33:26to the western front.
33:28By the time I returned...
33:36she was dead
33:41right let's go well where are you taking me detective you will be held in the cells at
33:47station house number four for your protection until you stand trial what are we going to do
33:51we have to prove his innocence you are no longer part of this investigation miss newsome
34:03thank you for apprehending the fugitive detective the trial will resume tomorrow
34:07and the crown is confident in the accused's guilt of course the evidence is clear no one
34:14else was in the house he doesn't think newsome did it please excuse my incredulity but that
34:21man is as good as hanged gentlemen you're putting a lot of faith in the word of rupert newsome
34:26the police searched the whole house after that night and found nothing nothing about the murder
34:32but perhaps they missed something about who else was there that night
34:43uh henry um did you find anything that could exonerate rupert not yet
34:56oh my god what
35:05get rid of it i can't do that do not tell the police i am the police no i mean
35:11don't tell
35:11the real police detective there's something in here you need to see oh my yes he's very strong
35:31a smarter weapon
35:34well done henry
35:49what's this i spoke to the chief constable these are files of cases in which you
35:55detective murdoch deliberately withheld knowledge from other investigating parties
36:02if i did i did so with good reason as did i i was protecting my family
36:11i regret lying to you detective because i admire and respect you but
36:15i would do the same again can you honestly say that you wouldn't
36:23i found it odd that constables searched the sitting room multiple times after the murder
36:29and never found this murder weapon
36:32yes
36:33it's odd
36:36i've checked and it's been wiped clean of all finger marks
36:40but i did get an interesting scraping from the jewel encrusted snake's head
36:46what did you find
36:48horse dung
36:55gloves and a dark mask
36:56the same as those worn by the man who attacked rupert newsome
36:59it was the stable hand
37:01mr slattery we need to find him
37:08ruth you have to speak to me please i had no choice
37:11anyway it's out of our hands now either he's guilty or he's innocent
37:16obviously he's guilty
37:18well imagine that i had hidden the evidence then and rupert was acquitted
37:22we would be rich off the proceeds of a murder how could we live with ourselves
37:26what kind of a question is that
37:28we would live
37:29we would live and rupert would be there and when we saw him we would envision him covered in lucinda's
37:35blood
37:35and we would ignore this and everything would be fine
37:37dear
37:39i know you don't believe that
37:43why do you have to write all the time
37:47come on let's go home
37:48there's nothing else we can do now
37:53yes there is
37:55ru ru
37:58you mean dear
38:01please
38:02please
38:03please please please please
38:04get up woman you're an embarrassment
38:08bernard
38:09um
38:10couldn't you give us just a teensy little bit of the fortune
38:15we would be indebted to you and you could torture us or ridicule us
38:19just like your sister always loved to do so so much
38:22i never understood why lucy married rupert
38:24she hated the newsomes but me i don't care about you at all
38:29you will leave this place and i will never think about you again except of course
38:35when i'm celebrated as the man who finally rid mimico of the mimico newsome
38:49you were wearing this mask and these gloves when you attacked rupert newsome in the summer house
38:56i was but i didn't kill anyone
39:01the murder weapon was discovered earlier today in the sitting room
39:04it had traces of horse dung on it
39:07indicating to me that it was being kept in the stables
39:11and was then planted in the sitting room by you
39:15yes
39:16but i didn't do the killing
39:18then how did you end up with the murder weapon
39:23i found it in some bushes near the main house a couple days later
39:27so why plant it now
39:29when you policemen started coming around
39:31i got worried
39:32maybe you weren't sure mr newsome had done it
39:34and well i had the proof
39:38so you want rupert newsome to be found guilty
39:42if he gets away with it
39:44he gets everything
39:45the estate
39:46all the money
39:47and mr helmsworthy won't get a thin dime
39:50what does that matter to you
39:52i'm not just a stable hand
39:53we're business partners
39:55ah
39:57i'll sell
39:59we had this idea
40:00thoroughbred racing
40:01with my know-how
40:03and his money we can make a killing
40:07you threatened to kill rupert newsome
40:10you planted evidence against him
40:13you tried to kill him
40:15why should i believe that you are not the one
40:17who killed lucinda helmsworthy
40:19in order to secure her fortune for her brother
40:21she was giving him half the fortune anyway
40:24i told you already
40:25i was out all night looking for casanova
40:29i beg your pardon
40:30i was looking for casanova
40:33mr helmsworthy's horse
40:37why would i kill my own dear sister
40:40for money
40:41money that would have been given to me legally
40:44had she lived long enough to visit with our lawyer
40:46no mr helmsworthy
40:48but we do believe that you were the man who entered the home via the main staircase
40:54moments before the murder
40:55what are you doing here
40:59even if it was me so what
41:01you discussed casanova
41:03your beloved horse which she set free
41:06and that infuriated you
41:08why would she do such a thing
41:10because she'd had enough of you ridiculing her husband
41:14whatever have you done to your moustaches newsome
41:16leave him be
41:18it was payback
41:19she had set your horse free
41:21knowing that that would hurt you more than anything in the world
41:26but she didn't just let him loose did she
41:31casanova was her grand joke
41:34when she said
41:35you liked it
41:37that's what she was referring to
41:41casanova was delicious
41:44she made your horse into a tartar
41:47and served it to you on a silver platter
41:51you had no idea
41:53when you saw her later that night
41:55she told you
41:57and laughed in your face
42:00you grabbed the nearest weapon at hand
42:03he lashed out
42:07and you killed her
42:09the horse did nothing wrong
42:12how could my own sister do something so horrible
42:21oh what fun we're rich again
42:24ah ah ah
42:25i'm rich ruthie poofie
42:27but of course i'll take care of those who believed in my innocence

42:37yes
42:39well
42:40truth is
42:41i've been fantasizing about escaping my marriage
42:44for donkey's years
42:46it always did seem like lucinda didn't much care for you
42:49she detested me
42:50but in the end she defended me
42:52she stood up to her brother and said no more
42:54no more shall my husband be the butt of your japes
42:58and for this grand act of love
43:01she lost her life
