00:15Mavis?
00:19Mavis!
00:21Yes, Miss Cherry?
00:22Go to St. Lawrence Market and get me a female bacon sandwich.
00:25I need a pick-me-up.
00:27You work so hard, Miss Cherry.
00:28Yes, I do. Now, sandwich.
00:44Are you Miss Louise Cherry?
00:46In the flesh.
00:48Mrs. Abby Smith, I read your paper. I need your help.
00:51Anything for my readers. Come in.
00:57My husband, Matthew, works as a meat cutter at the abattoir of Wexler Davies Company.
01:02An excellent business. I just sent my assistant out to get me one of their female sandwiches.
01:07Yesterday, Matthew went to work. Then, later that day, the company sent me his body in a box. Said he
01:13just dropped dead.
01:17I'm sorry to hear that.
01:19Did you call the company?
01:21They gave me their condolences and insisted it was natural causes. But I'm convinced that police killed him.
01:27Really?
01:28Could you please find out what happened?
01:31You want me to look into this?
01:33I told the policemen at Station House 3, but they didn't think there was a case. My husband was the
01:38picture of health before he started there.
01:41I'm sorry. What would you have me do? Go after the police?
01:44I want you to find out how my husband died. I read all your articles. You're a great investigator.
01:51Of course I am.
01:53Then prove it.
01:56Well, has his body been buried?
01:58No.
01:59He's still at home for the week.
02:03Good.
02:06Can I have it?
02:15Came as soon as I got the call. What have you, Watson?
02:18The bank teller said you arrived this morning to find this.
02:22The vault?
02:23It cracked, but remained shut and intact. All that was taken was some loose cash.
02:29Well then, it's fortunate no one was hurt.
02:34Any thought as to what kind of explosives were used?
02:38Difficult to say, but given the localized obliteration, I would say a very high-velocity explosive.
02:45Well, they didn't get away with much.
02:47Which means they may try again. And next time, innocent bystanders may not be so fortunate.
03:18But they didn't see much other than smoke.
03:227am.
03:22And most of them would have been closed at the time.
03:24Which is why, thankfully, no one was hurt.
03:27And also why we have very few witnesses.
03:29Hmm.
03:41Mr. Boudreau.
03:43Detective, I haven't seen you since the trivia competition.
03:47Yes, the competition in which you tried to trick me.
03:50I believe I succeeded in tricking you.
03:54What exactly are you doing here, Mr. Boudreau?
03:56I work in the neighborhood.
03:58You don't say.
04:00I got a job in a warehouse not too long ago.
04:04And what were you doing this morning?
04:07You think I had something to do with that?
04:10Well, you do have a criminal record of multiple robberies.
04:14And significantly, some of those robberies were at banks.
04:17That was the past.
04:19I'm an honest man now.
04:21He just happens to be wandering around near the side of an attempted bank break-in.
04:26Because I work at Grundy's warehouse down the street.
04:30Good luck with your investigation.
04:40He was a meat cutter.
04:42Yes.
04:44Seems he and I are birds of a feather.
04:46Very funny, Miss Hart.
04:48Anything of note?
04:49Well, his organ tissues are unusually pale.
04:53Seems he died from low blood volume.
04:56Do you tell me more?
04:58He was severely dehydrated, which can cause hypovolemic shock.
05:02Dehydration.
05:03You're sure?
05:05I'm certain.
05:06He had a cracked tongue and crusted nasal passages.
05:08And his upper respiratory tract was irritated from the water loss.
05:12That's very strange, isn't it?
05:14The man was only in his 20s.
05:15He shouldn't have died.
05:16Is there anything that could have caused the dehydration?
05:19Well, I suppose breathing in caustic chemicals could dehydrate mucous membranes.
05:25So he was forced to toil for months around toxic substances.
05:29Well, that's very possible, but I...
05:31It's also possible that his place of work could have caused his death.
05:35I did not...
05:36And I'm going to find out.
05:38Our constables already spoke to the warehouse workers.
05:41No one there saw anything.
05:42I want to ask them about Francois Boudreau.
05:45You suspect him?
05:46It can't be a coincidence that a former robber just happened to be nearby a bank bombing.
05:52Hello.
05:54Can I help you?
05:55Uh, Detective Murdoch, Toronto Constabulary, Detective Watts.
05:58You must be Mr. Grundy.
06:00I already spoke to your policeman.
06:02Yes, uh, I'd like to confirm if a Francois Boudreau works here.
06:07Why do you ask?
06:09Well, we have reason to believe he may have been involved in the attack on the bank up the street.
06:13And I suppose you think it's because he's done time in jail?
06:17You're aware.
06:18A bunch of my guys have served time.
06:21But they all turned a page.
06:24Um, can you confirm that Mr. Boudreau was working inside the warehouse, uh, shortly before 7 a.m. this morning?
06:31I can, indeed.
06:38Take a look at this.
06:39F. Boudreau.
06:41Clocked in today, 5 a.m.
06:43Now, if you don't mind, I have work to do.
06:52Interesting.
06:54What's that?
06:56Mr. Boudreau was scheduled for a break shortly before 7.
07:00The time of the bombing.
07:02So Boudreau did have a pocket of free time.
07:05He could have left the premises.
07:07Right, find out his current address.
07:15Looking good?
07:16Nice thickness.
07:26Nice and neat.
07:40Welcome to the plant.
07:42Miss Reed, was it?
07:43Yes, I'm Miss Hilda Reed.
07:46Frank Bale, I'm your foreman.
07:48Nice to meet you.
07:49It's good to have you here.
07:50See, I prefer hiring women for this role.
07:53Why's that?
07:54Ladies have nimble fingers.
07:57Better suited to sausage stuffing.
07:59Follow me.
08:02Over here, we have the chopping.
08:05In the corner there, with all the paper, that's the packaging.
08:09And back there, that is where we do the killing.
08:12Seems like a tight ship.
08:14We process half a million hogs every year,
08:16including 300,000 world-class sausages
08:19that you are about to help prepare.
08:21Which brings me to one small warning.
08:24What's that?
08:24By the end of your shift,
08:26your fingers are going to feel like pretzels from tying sausages.
08:29But don't worry.
08:30You'll get used to it.
08:37That's just the meat grinder, Miss Reed.
08:39The machinery resets itself twice a day, 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.
08:44Mr. Davies.
08:46It's the big man himself.
08:48Hey, Frank.
08:49And who do we have here?
08:51This is Miss Hilda Reed.
08:53It's her first shift.
08:54Our female employees are some of our company's greatest assets.
08:57Welcome.
08:59Frank's a good man.
09:00You listen to him, you'll be as right as rain.
09:07Chuck, can I have you a moment?
09:10This is Miss Hilda Reed.
09:12First day on the line.
09:13Let's talk, Marcy.
09:14Please, oh.
09:17I'm sorry, I...
09:17You're fine.
09:19Chuck has done just about every job here.
09:20Now, would you mind showing Miss Reed the ropes?
09:22Leave her with me.
09:24Shall we start?
09:26This will be your machine.
09:28This is the fresh minced meat.
09:31Pack it into the cylinder.
09:33Not too tightly or it'll jam.
09:35Go on.
09:40My fingers won't get caught, will they?
09:43This wasn't from stuffing sausages.
09:45Oh.
09:51I'll crank it slow and steady.
09:58Twist it into six-inch lengths.
10:00Once you get to the end, tie it off.
10:03Ta-da!
10:06You like your job here, don't you?
10:08You're damn right.
10:09I'm feeding the city, the country, all of Britain.
10:11How many people get to say that?
10:13There.
10:15So what did happen to your finger?
10:18I lost it in a meat grinder a few years ago.
10:20Don't worry, it didn't get into any of the sausages.
10:23At least I don't think so.
10:25How horrible.
10:26I've gotten used to it.
10:29So the work here is dangerous.
10:31It was my fault.
10:33An accident, every job comes with risks.
10:37I heard a worker died here.
10:39Someone named Matthew Smith.
10:43It's just something I heard the workers chatting about while I was in line for my interview.
10:47His death was unfortunate.
10:49But the man was impatient.
10:51He should have paced himself.
10:53What do you mean?
10:54He thought he'd receive a raise if he worked faster.
10:57Everyone noticed when he started skipping breaks.
11:00I say he drove himself into the ground.
11:02Is it possible he died from inhaling airborne chemicals?
11:05Corrosis and irritants are not allowed in the abattoir.
11:08We can use hot water and scrapers to clean tools and surfaces.
11:11I did wonder why the air didn't smell as toxic as I thought it would.
11:15Now you know.
11:17Now hop to it, Ms. Reed.
11:18These sausages are not going to stuff themselves.
11:36If Mr. Boudreau is involved, there could be explosives in his home.
11:40And why do you think he's involved?
11:42Past history.
11:44A leopard doesn't change his spots.
11:45John Locke would disagree.
11:47A man is born with a mind like a tabula rasa.
11:50Human nature isn't fixed.
11:51It's malleable.
11:53Well, you'll have to pardon me if I disagree with the empiricists.
11:56His apartment should be right.
12:02What are you doing here?
12:04Mr. Boudreau, we're here to search your home.
12:07What?
12:08You have no right.
12:09I know you were on a break when the Bank of Toronto was bombed.
12:13And you think in that scant 15 minutes I had enough time to set up and detonate a bomb?
12:19Le voyant.
12:20Then where were you?
12:21I was in the public lavatory, relieving myself.
12:24You can check with the attendant if you like.
12:27And I have to tell you, if you enter my home, it's an unlawful entry.
12:32So you have something to hide then?
12:34I'm merely exercising my rights under the law.
12:36Now, please, get out of here.
12:40Your actions continue to arouse my suspicions.
12:44Given your nature, that hardly surprises me.
12:51All right, gentlemen, let's make sure those workstations are spotless.
12:56Miss Reed.
12:59Miss Reed, not bad for your first day, but I'm going to expect double the number of sausages by next
13:03week.
13:24Excuse me.
13:28Who are you?
13:32I'm Miss Hilda Reed.
13:34I just started working here today.
13:36And you are?
13:37Why are you down here?
13:39Funny, I could ask you the same thing.
13:41I simply got lost.
13:45I'm Arthur.
13:46That's Barry and Curtis.
13:52Is this soap?
13:54Soap?
13:57Why exactly are you hiding down here, cutting up bars of soap?
14:01Can you keep a secret?
14:04I've been known to.
14:06We're making soap using lard from the abattoir.
14:09We sell it to alpacaries in the city.
14:11Think of it as a supplemental side job.
14:13More like stealing.
14:14We work all day on the killing floor, yet it's barely enough to put food on the table.
14:20I've got a wife and five kids.
14:23Please don't tell anyone.
14:25I won't.
14:27On one condition.
14:29That is?
14:31Tell me what you know about the death of Matthew Smith.
14:34Matthew Smith?
14:37I heard he died here just yesterday.
14:39Surely you remember.
14:40Of course I do.
14:41He fell dead near the end of his shift, right on the floor.
14:44What happened?
14:46I'm an employee here now.
14:48I'm curious.
14:50I'm not a doctor.
14:51I don't know what happened.
14:52I do.
14:53He was trying to bite off more than he can chew.
14:55Barely stopped to rest.
14:57And worked himself to death.
14:59Meat cutting isn't easy.
15:01Many men can't handle it.
15:02Remember Jimmy?
15:04Oh, yeah.
15:05Who's Jimmy?
15:07Jimmy Ganting.
15:08He used to work here not too long ago.
15:10Go on.
15:11One day, the place got too much for him.
15:14He just stopped showing up.
15:15He didn't even clean out his locker.
15:17Had new work boots and everything in there.
15:19And you have no idea what happened to him?
15:22I assumed he called it quits.
15:24Too bad.
15:25He was a bright young fellow.
15:27Where can I find this, Jimmy?
15:32Mr. Ganting?
15:33Are you home?
15:56Mr. Ganting?
15:57Mr. Gansing?
16:21Er...
16:40What did you do to him?
16:47Who are you?
16:49Put the knife down.
16:50Answer the question.
16:51Calm down.
16:52I'm here to help.
16:53My name is Louise Cherry.
16:55I'm a journalist at the Sentinel.
16:56I wanted to speak with Mr. Ganting.
16:58About what?
16:59Some of his co-workers at the meat plant
17:01said that he stopped coming to work.
17:03I wanted to know why.
17:06Maybe you know, Miss...
17:10Emily Wicker.
17:13I haven't seen Jimmy in two weeks.
17:15I'm scared sick.
17:18You knew her sweetheart?
17:20Yes.
17:21I was walking by and I saw the window open.
17:23I was hoping he'd be home.
17:26What do you want with him?
17:29Why did he stop working at Wexler Davies?
17:32Jimmy's a vegetarian.
17:33We both are.
17:34Vegetarian?
17:37Why would a vegetarian work at a slaughterhouse?
17:47Essays on vegetarianism.
17:49Dr. Kingsford said those who eat flesh are responsible for the horrors of the slaughterhouse.
17:54This inspired Jimmy.
17:56We believe that a wish not to harm animals naturally results when you recognize your relationship
18:01with them.
18:01Good for you.
18:02That still doesn't answer my question.
18:05Why would a vegetarian work at a place like that?
18:07He took the job to document the cruelty that went on there.
18:10He said that if the public could see it for themselves, it could change some minds.
18:15And you really haven't seen him for the past two weeks?
18:18No.
18:19I have no idea what's happened to him.
18:23You said you were a journalist?
18:25I am.
18:32Jimmy took these photos at the plant.
18:35I haven't had the nerve to develop them, but...
18:38Could I have them?
18:40Only if you promise not to publish them until I know what's happened to Jimmy.
18:45You have my word.
18:53Watson.
18:54I just spoke with a former associate of Mr. Boudreau's and Mr. Russell Volk.
18:58The two of them were both involved in that bank robbery a decade ago.
19:02You think Volk is behind this?
19:04I don't know.
19:05But he did say that he saw Mr. Boudreau splurging at a bar last night.
19:10Apparently he ordered rounds of drinks for everyone and made Mr. Volk wonder how he could afford such a thing.
19:16You think it was the cash stolen from the Bank of Toronto?
19:22Detective Murdoch?
19:24Chief Constable Brackenry.
19:27Mr. Boudreau.
19:29Yes, I did speak with him.
19:30He's a suspect in the attempted bank robbery at...
19:36Yes, sir, but I...
19:40Anything of note?
19:45Apparently Boudreau has filed a complaint at City Hall.
19:49Claims that I am harassing him.
19:52And the Chief Constable wants me to back off.
19:54So, are you going to?
19:59Dehydration?
20:00Yes, Mrs. Smith.
20:01It appears that your husband declined to take breaks while doing strenuous work.
20:06The overwork killed him.
20:09The fool.
20:10If it's any comfort, he was trying to get a raise.
20:13He was thinking of his family.
20:15I'd rather he become a thief and live than die among pigs.
20:24Ms. Terry, I have the photos you had developed and printed.
20:28You smell like sausage.
20:30Just give me the pictures, Mavis.
20:33It's a nice smell.
20:45This isn't easy to look at.
20:47That's exactly what Jimmy Ganting would have liked to hear.
20:56Who is that?
20:58Frank Bale.
21:00The foreman at the plant.
21:03He looks angry.
21:05Roger, he found out about Jimmy's project.
21:12Well, I suppose this is the answer to my question as to what you are going to do.
21:18Goudreau remains our most viable suspect.
21:25But if you don't care to be involved...
21:31Interesting.
21:33That certainly looks like trespassing to me.
21:36We may as well go down together.
21:47Mr. Boudreau, what is your business here?
21:52Nothing that concerns you.
21:55You're under arrest for trespassing.
21:58Isn't this exciting?
22:00No.
22:01What's that?
22:02Watching you play with fire.
22:17Mr. Mars?
22:19It's Chuck.
22:20What do you want?
22:22Why the rubber bands?
22:24It gives me a better grip.
22:26After a couple hours of this, you work up a sweat.
22:29Starsful indeed.
22:32You've worked with Frank for a while now, right?
22:34I have.
22:35Why do you ask?
22:36Just wondering how well you know him.
22:39Frank's a decent fella.
22:40One of the best foremen I've seen.
22:43So, he never had any conflicts with any workers?
22:46He's a foreman.
22:48Of course, there's going to be beef from time to time, but he's a good man.
22:52Did he get along with Jimmy Ganting?
22:55You know Jimmy Ganting?
22:57I heard workers talk about him.
23:00Apparently, he just walked off the job, left all his possessions behind.
23:04Why would someone do that?
23:06I don't know a man's mind.
23:08I reckon if you do, all I know is he quit just after a few months.
23:13Didn't find the job interesting, I don't know if I suppose.
23:17Why are you asking about Frank?
23:20Since you let me in on your secret, I'll let you in on mine.
23:24My name is Louise Cherry.
23:25I'm actually a journalist.
23:27Then why are you here stuffing sausages?
23:30I'm writing a story about what it's like to work in the biggest meat plant in all of the British
23:33Empire.
23:35But they don't know that yet.
23:37You're undercover.
23:38Why?
23:41Sometimes people shut up when a journalist is around.
23:44I don't blame them.
23:45I should get back to my work, Miss Cherry.
23:47One question.
23:48One.
23:51Were Frank Bale and Jimmy at odds?
23:53At odds?
23:54Yeah, I'd say.
23:55They spend most of their time shouting at each other.
23:58About what?
23:58You name it.
24:01Best get back to work.
24:03Come to Ryan's tonight.
24:04I'll tell you all about it.
24:10Miss Mel?
24:11Oh, here.
24:12Let me show you.
24:20You were within walking distance of the Bank of Toronto.
24:23And you were on break at the time of the explosion.
24:26I already told you I couldn't possibly have robbed the bank.
24:30I was in the bank.
24:30I know what you told me.
24:32I also know that you spent a great deal of money on frivolities in the hours immediately after the robbery.
24:40I think it's telling that you call treating my friends frivolities.
24:44Excuse me?
24:45Your thinking.
24:47It's much more limited than I give you credit for.
24:51Care to explain that?
24:52I'm a safe cracker.
24:54An artist.
24:55If I wanted to rob the bank, I wouldn't need to blow it up.
24:59But you do have the expertise to do so.
25:02Oh, monsieur, I think I heard a compliment.
25:05What were you doing on private property when we arrested you?
25:08I saw you following me.
25:10So I tricked you into thinking that I was up to no good.
25:13And you fell right into my trap.
25:16Now I can tell your boss that you failed to cease and desist.
25:22What's the closest bank to the station?
25:24The Dominion?
25:26It sounds like someone's making another withdrawal.
25:31Does this mean I'm free to go?
25:35Same.
25:36Just one.
25:37Frank?
25:37May I speak with you?
25:41Jammed?
25:54I thought I told you butchers to watch what you threw in there.
25:57Look at the yellowing.
25:58It must have been in there for weeks.
26:00That is Jimmy Ganting.
26:03You did this.
26:04What are you talking about?
26:06You knew Jimmy was taking photographs of the place.
26:08Did you throw him into the grinder?
26:10That's ridiculous.
26:13I have a photograph of you attacking him.
26:15Where did you get that?
26:17You are fired.
26:19Give me that.
26:21What is going on here?
26:25Your foreman pushed a worker into the grinder.
26:29Did you know about that?
26:31The devil are you talking about?
26:32My name is Miss Louise Cherry.
26:34I am the editor-in-chief of the Sentinel.
26:37Your workers are dying, Mr. Davies.
26:40And this time it's murder being covered up.
26:44Give me that.
26:50You get out of my plant.
26:51Now.
26:52And if you print a word of these curious lies,
26:54I will destroy you.
27:05Kelsey.
27:14Looks like the robber was able to blow the vault wide open this time.
27:18Was anyone inside?
27:19No, no.
27:20The bank was closed for lunch hour.
27:24I spoke too soon.
27:35I just talked to a bank clerk who returned from lunch.
27:38She says nothing seems to have been taken from the vault.
27:42Interesting.
27:44The body was found having faced the blast.
27:48Well, perhaps the dead man is the culprit.
27:52The explosives detonated earlier than he intended.
27:56It's possible.
27:57Hopefully, Miss Hart can help identify the body.
28:02Mr. Boudreaux, this is a crime scene.
28:05I'm a free man, detects Eve.
28:07Just because you were released doesn't mean you're innocent.
28:10What does that mean?
28:11You could have accomplices.
28:13You could very well be delusional.
28:15It had nothing to do with this.
28:17All right, then leave.
28:20You know, I have extensive knowledge
28:24when it comes to explosives.
28:26You know what kind it is yet?
28:29I guess not.
28:30Because if you did, you would have taken that opportunity
28:32to flump your knowledge.
28:34Do you know what kind it is?
28:37I can tell that it's homemade.
28:40You know what?
28:41Take me to the body, and I'll help you with the case.
28:45Absolutely not.
28:46If you know something, tell us now.
28:49Remnants of the explosives may be embedded in the body.
28:53I took a look.
28:53I could give you some answers.
28:55What's in it for you?
28:57A chance to prove that I am innocent.
29:00And also maybe the satisfaction of seeing the look on the detective's face
29:04when he realizes that I'm smarter than he is.
29:09I highly doubt that.
29:13So it wasn't the working conditions that killed Matthew Smith after all?
29:17No.
29:17But I discovered someone who really was murdered.
29:20Jeez Louise, another dead man?
29:22I believe a foreman pushed a worker named Jimmy Ganton into a meat grinder
29:27and Wexler Davies is trying to cover it up.
29:29What makes you think so?
29:31Well, he banned me from the factory when I told him.
29:33Well, perhaps he just thought it was a ridiculous notion.
29:36Anywho, now that I have time to write, I'm going to expose these people for murder.
29:41Louise, I thought you were just trying to sell papers.
29:43Are you really trying to take down this company?
29:46Why not? I can kill two birds with one stone.
29:48Well, be careful.
29:49It's a powerful company you're setting yourself up against.
29:52Well, I must publish this.
29:54My readers would be very interested to know that their sausages could contain bits of Jimmy Ganton.
29:58You don't have any evidence.
30:00They could sue you for libel.
30:02I'll get evidence
30:39Oh, my God.
31:15The explosives were nitroglycerin.
31:17Based on the oily shrapnel, I bet money on it.
31:20There could be residues of nitrates on the shrapnel if that's the case.
31:23We could test it in a solution of diphenylamine.
31:28Everything I learn about homemade explosive, I learn in jail.
31:31I highly doubt they had such books.
31:33Thank you for remembering that I'm excellently well-read, but no.
31:37This knowledge came from other inmates.
31:40Detective, it isn't a perfect test, but based on this and everything else I see, I'd say Mr. Boudreau is
31:46right.
31:47What do you say to that?
31:49You knew it was nitroglycerin because you were in on it with someone.
31:53Well, you're impossible.
31:55It's no wonder that the explosives detonated early.
31:58Nitroglycerin is extremely volatile.
32:00Violet?
32:01Louise?
32:03You smell like a butcher shop.
32:05Thank you, Detective.
32:07Miss Hart, can you please verify that this bone belongs to a man?
32:10Miss Cherry, what is going on here?
32:13While undercover, I gathered evidence that a worker was killed at the Wexler-Davies Company meat plant.
32:19They're covering up the murder.
32:20You mean that's...
32:21Yes, that's him, Jimmy Ganting, a vegetarian activist who secretly photographed the slaughterhouse.
32:26He went missing and he turned up inside the meat grinder.
32:30Miss Cherry, do you have any proof?
32:32That's the proof.
32:38The shapes of these osteons are far too irregular.
32:41This is definitely not human.
32:43You're sure?
32:44I am.
32:44Now if you'll excuse us.
32:46That's Arthur.
32:48You know this man?
32:50He's a meat cutter at Wexler-Davies.
32:52Another meat cutter?
32:54How is a meat plant worker involved in bombing banks?
32:58What do you know about him?
33:01He struggled to make ends meet, so much so that he and two other workers sold soap made out of
33:07stolen factory lard.
33:08Soap?
33:10Yes.
33:12Nitroglycerin is made by using glycerin.
33:14It's a byproduct of saponification.
33:18Soap making.
33:19So these workers could be responsible for making the explosives used in the bank bombings.
33:24Maybe Jimmy was killed because he found out they were making explosives.
33:27Miss Cherry, take me to where they were making the soap.
33:31Yes.
33:32And perhaps you should find some soap and some water yourself, Miss Cherry?
33:37Correct.
33:43This is where I saw them.
33:46Chemistry equipment.
33:50Is that?
33:55Nitroglycerin?
33:57Why would someone leave this extremely sensitive substance unsealed, uncovered, and unattended?
34:05This could detonate with the slightest shake.
34:11Um, what time is it?
34:13It's, uh, ten to seven.
34:17Why?
34:18Every day at seven, the factory floor shakes for a minute as the meat grinder resets.
34:26The workers meant for this to explode?
34:30The-the-the tremors would likely trigger the nitroglycerin and obliterate all evidence of their soap-making enterprise?
34:39You're saying this whole room could explode in ten minutes?
34:42The entire factory, Miss Cherry.
34:45We need to get out of here.
34:51The door's locked.
34:53Oh, it's a closet lock.
34:55It's very common for storage rooms.
34:57Can't be open from the inside.
35:01Don't tell me we're trapped.
35:03All right.
35:06But we are.
35:16What do we do?
35:20Ethanol.
35:2320 liters.
35:25That's, uh, 32 kilograms by weight.
35:31Each one of these bottles of ethanol is 175 milliliters.
35:35That is 138 grams.
35:39Is this really the right time to be calculating?
35:41Ethanol can, uh, can desensitize nitroglycerin, making it less hazardous.
35:47But we need to dissolve at least 10% of it by weight.
35:50So that is 17, 23 bottles of ethanol.
35:58And I need to pour every one of them into this.
36:02What if you kill us?
36:04Miss Cherry, unless you have a better plan,
36:06I suggest you take out one of those hairpins and start trying to pick the lock.
36:15Oh, my God.
36:5012, 13.
36:52We have less than five minutes.
36:57Oh, no, my hairpin!
37:07Miss Cherry, what is it?
37:10Uh, it's a body.
37:12We don't have time for that now.
37:21I got it!
37:22The door's open!
37:2318, 3.
37:28Let's go!
37:32Wait!
37:397-0-1.
37:42The nitroglycerin must be successfully desensitized.
37:47That dead man was Jimmy Ganting.
37:49Are you sure?
37:51I've seen his photograph.
37:53I've seen his photograph.
37:53His lady friend confirmed it.
37:55So the bomb makers did kill him after all.
37:57We need to find them.
37:59I think I know where they are tonight.
38:00Come on.
38:05Hi, pals.
38:07Oh, it's you.
38:09Where's Arthur?
38:11He's not feeling well.
38:14Are you sure you didn't just leave him at the bank?
38:18The two of you are under arrest for attempted robbery, destruction of property, and...
38:23The murder of Jimmy Ganting.
38:25What?
38:26Murder?
38:28Jimmy Ganting's body was found in a crate of curing salts in the basement.
38:33We didn't put him there.
38:34Why would we kill Jimmy?
38:35To silence him.
38:36After he found out about your bomb making operation.
38:39We're telling you we're not murderers.
38:42We just wanted to make some money.
38:44We never meant to hurt anyone.
38:45Until one of your own died.
38:47From a bomb that you made.
38:49Making explosives was never part of our initial plan.
38:53You made and sold soap from stolen factory supplies.
38:57But then you got greedy and went after the banks.
39:00No.
39:01We did make soap.
39:03We actually thought we might have a shot at setting up a proper business.
39:07But we got rejected for a loan at every bank in the city.
39:10And that angered you?
39:12Of course.
39:13We feed the city, but we can't get a leg up.
39:15I'm right it angered us.
39:17So you decided to get back at them.
39:19Wouldn't you?
39:19But when Arthur died, you changed course.
39:22And set up the explosion in order to cover up all evidence of your scheme.
39:27And that's all we did.
39:28Then what about Jimmy Ganting's body?
39:31We didn't know it was there.
39:33On my word.
39:38Be sure you fill this with sawdust before you move it an inch.
39:45Detective.
39:46I can assure you, nothing untoward is going on here.
39:49There are questions that remain unanswered.
39:52But be grateful your factory is still standing.
39:59I suppose I owe you an apology.
40:02You saved my plant.
40:04For now.
40:08Stop.
40:12What is it?
40:17Are those rubber bands?
40:19They are.
40:21I know whose knife that is.
40:25Jimmy would talk about animal cruelty.
40:27I thought, who the hell is this idiot?
40:29What is he doing here?
40:30Then I saw him with a camera.
40:33You were worried he might harm the company.
40:36I tried to reason with him, but he wouldn't hear any of it.
40:39We argued.
40:40I saw my knife and...
40:43You know I've killed plenty of hogs before.
40:47Killing a man was...
40:50different.
40:53But it had to be done.
40:56Why put him in the basement?
40:58I was going to move him later.
41:00Never knew those men were making soap down there.
41:02So you never got the chance.
41:05Those idiots.
41:07Whatever happened to honest hard work?
41:19I just read Miss Cherry's article.
41:21So they really did make soap out of factory lard.
41:25Resourceful.
41:26Don't go looking for any ideas, Mr. Boudreau.
41:29I have no interest in lard or explosives.
41:32But they really made a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
41:36I like that.
41:37Hmm.
41:39And we wouldn't have figured it out without your help.
41:46I wish to apologize.
41:50I acted rashly on my assumption that you were involved in this.
41:55So you'll leave me alone?
41:57Parfait.
41:58On the contrary, Mr. Boudreau.
42:01What if in the future I require your knowledge of miscellaneous, deplorable topics?
42:09Well, I guess I'd never turn down the opportunity to make you admit that I know something you don't.
42:17So you do believe leopards can change their spots?
42:22Even if they have faded somewhat?
42:25No.
42:35Driven by meager salaries, workers turn to illicit activities such as stashing fresh lard from the hogs they slaughtered with
42:43their own bare hands.
42:45They churn out explosives inside a clandestine dungeon of the very factory they're stealing from.
42:51Well, I'm glad you at least stuck to the facts and left out the part about a worker getting pushed
42:56into the meat grinder.
42:57The truce was enough.
43:00You know, Louise, for a moment I actually thought you cared about these workers, but this article paints them as
43:04absolutely fiendish.
43:05Really? I thought I wrote them as brilliant.
43:07Oh, good lord.
43:10You got these photos from vegetarians?
43:12Nice, aren't they?
43:13Miss Cherry, I want to thank you for publishing Jimmy's work.
43:17Unveiling the truth is what I was born to do, my dear.
43:19Perhaps he died for something.
43:21People ought to know the cost of what they put in their bodies.
43:25Oh!
43:28Miss Cherry!
43:29What?
43:30I made these myself.
43:34Hmm.
43:35Whoo!
