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.
03:217 a.m. Most of them would have been closed
03:24at the time. Which is why thankfully
03:25no one was hurt. And also why
03:27we have very few witnesses.
03:36Mr. Boudreaux. Detective.
03:44I haven't seen you since
03:45the trivia competition. Yes.
03:48The competition in which you tried to
03:49trick me. I believe I succeeded
03:52in tricking you.
03:54What exactly are you doing here, Mr. Boudreaux?
03:56I work in the neighborhood.
03:58You don't say.
04:00I got a job in a warehouse
04:01not 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
04:12record of multiple robberies
04:13and significantly some of those
04:16robberies were at banks.
04:17That was the past.
04:19I'm an honest man now.
04:21Who just happens to be wandering around
04:24near the side of an attempted bank break-in?
04:26Because I work at Grundy's warehouse
04:28down the street.
04:30Good luck with your investigation.
04:41He 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
04:51are unusually pale.
04:53Seems he died from low blood volume.
04:56Do you tell me more?
04:58He was severely dehydrated,
04:59which can cause hypovolemic shock.
05:02Dehydration?
05:03You're sure?
05:05I'm certain.
05:06He had a cracked tongue
05:07and crusted nasal passages.
05:08And his upper respiratory tract
05:10was 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.
05:17Is there anything that could have
05:18caused the dehydration?
05:19Well, I suppose
05:21breathing in caustic chemicals
05:22could dehydrate
05:24mucous membranes.
05:25So he was forced to toil
05:27for months
05:27around toxic substances.
05:29Well, that's very possible,
05:30but I...
05:31It's also possible
05:32that his place of work
05:33could have caused his death.
05:35I didn't...
05:36Yes, and I'm gonna find out.
05:39Our constables already spoke
05:40to the warehouse workers.
05:41No one there saw anything.
05:42I want to ask them
05:43about Francois Boudreau.
05:45You suspect him?
05:45It can't be a coincidence
05:47that a former robber
05:48just happened to be
05:49nearby a bank bombing.
05:52Hello.
05:54Can I help you?
05:55Uh, Detective Murdoch,
05:56Toronto Constabulary,
05:57Detective Watts.
05:58You must be Mr. Grundy.
06:00I already spoke
06:00to your policeman.
06:03Yes, I'd like to confirm
06:04if a Francois Boudreau
06:06works here.
06:07Why do you ask?
06:09Well, we have reason
06:10to believe he may have been
06:11involved in the attack
06:12on the bank up the street.
06:13And I suppose you think
06:14it's because he's done
06:15time in jail.
06:17You're aware?
06:18A bunch of my guys
06:19have served time.
06:21But they all turned a page.
06:25Can you confirm
06:26that Mr. Boudreau
06:27was working inside
06:28the warehouse
06:29shortly before 7 a.m.
06:31this morning?
06:31I can, indeed.
06:38Take a look at this.
06:40F. Boudreau.
06:41Clocked in today
06:42at 5 a.m.
06:43Now,
06:44if you don't mind,
06:45I have work to do.
06:52Interesting.
06:54What's that?
06:56Mr. Boudreau
06:57was scheduled
06:58for a break
06:58shortly before 7.
07:00The time of the bombing.
07:02So Boudreau
07:03did have a pocket
07:04of free time.
07:05He could have
07:06left the premises.
07:07All right,
07:08find out his
07:08current address.
07:15Looking good?
07:16Stickness.
07:26Nice and neat.
07:40Welcome to the plant.
07:42Miss Reed,
07:43was it?
07:43Yes,
07:44I'm Miss Hilda Reed.
07:46Frank Bale,
07:47I'm your foreman.
07:48Nice to meet you.
07:49It's good to have you here.
07:50See,
07:51I prefer hiring women
07:52for this role.
07:53Why's that?
07:54Ladies have nimble fingers.
07:57Better suited
07:57to sausage stuffing.
07:59Follow me.
08:02Over here,
08:03we have the chopping.
08:05In the corner there,
08:06with all the paper,
08:07that's the packaging.
08:09And back there,
08:10that is where
08:11we do the killing.
08:12Seems like a tight ship.
08:14We process
08:15half a million hogs
08:16every year,
08:16including 300,000
08:18world-class sausages
08:19that you are about
08:20to help prepare.
08:21Which brings me
08:22to one small warning.
08:24What's that?
08:24By the end
08:25of your shift,
08:26your fingers
08:26are going to feel
08:27like pretzels
08:27from tying sausages.
08:29But don't worry,
08:30you'll get used to it.
08:37That's just
08:37the meat grinder,
08:38Miss Reed.
08:39The machinery
08:40resets itself
08:41twice a day,
08:4111 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
08:55are some of our company's
08:56greatest assets.
08:57Welcome.
08:59Frank's a good man.
09:00You listen to him,
09:01you'll be as right as rain.
09:07Chuck,
09:08can I have you a moment?
09:10This is Miss Hilda Reed.
09:12First day on the line.
09:13What's up, Mars?
09:14Please,
09:14oh.
09:16I'm sorry,
09:17I...
09:17You're fine.
09:19Chuck has done
09:19just about every job here.
09:20Now, would you mind
09:21showing Miss Reed the ropes?
09:22Leave her with me.
09:24Shall we start?
09:26This will be your machine.
09:28This
09:29is the fresh minced meat.
09:31Pack it into the cylinder.
09:33Not too tightly
09:34or it'll jam.
09:35Go on.
09:40My fingers
09:41won't get caught,
09:42will they?
09:43This wasn't
09:43from stuffing sausages.
09:51I'll crank it
09:52slow and steady.
09:58Twist it into
09:59six-inch lengths.
10:00Once you get to the end,
10:01tie it off.
10:03Ta-da!
10:06You like your job here,
10:07don't you?
10:08You're damn right.
10:09I'm feeding the city,
10:10the country,
10:10all of Britain.
10:11How many people
10:12get to say that?
10:14There.
10:15So what did happen
10:16to your finger?
10:18I lost it
10:18in a meat grinder
10:19a few years ago.
10:20Don't worry,
10:21it didn't get into
10:21any of the sausages.
10:23At least,
10:23I don't think so.
10:25How horrible.
10:26I've gotten used to it.
10:29So the work here
10:30is dangerous.
10:31It was my fault.
10:33An accident,
10:34every job
10:35comes with risks.
10:37I heard a worker
10:38died here.
10:39Someone named
10:40Matthew Smith.
10:43It's just something
10:44I heard the workers
10:45chatting about
10:45while I was in line
10:46on my interview.
10:47His death
10:48was unfortunate.
10:49But the man
10:50was impatient.
10:51He should have
10:52paced himself.
10:53What do you mean?
10:54He thought he'd receive
10:55a raise if he worked
10:56faster.
10:57Everyone noticed
10:58when he started
10:58skipping breaks.
11:00I say he drove
11:00himself into the ground.
11:02Is it possible
11:03he died from
11:03inhaling airborne
11:04chemicals?
11:05Corrosis and irritants
11:06are not allowed
11:07in the abattoir.
11:08We've used hot water
11:09and scrapers
11:10to clean tools
11:10and surfaces.
11:11I did wonder
11:12why the air
11:13didn't smell as toxic
11:14as I thought it would.
11:15Now you know.
11:17Now hop to it,
11:18Miss Reed.
11:18These sausages
11:19are not going
11:19to stuff themselves.
11:36If Mr. Boudreau
11:37is involved,
11:38there could be
11:39explosives in his home.
11:40And why do you
11:41think he's involved?
11:43Past history.
11:44A leopard
11:44doesn't change his spots.
11:46John Locke
11:47would disagree.
11:47A man is born
11:48with a mind
11:49like a tabula rasa.
11:50Human nature
11:51isn't fixed.
11:51It's malleable.
11:53Well, you'll have
11:54to pardon me
11:54if I disagree
11:55with the empiricists.
11:56His apartment
11:57should be right.
12:02What are you doing here?
12:04Mr. Boudreau,
12:05we're here
12:06to search your home.
12:07What?
12:08You have no right.
12:09I know you were
12:10on a break
12:11when the Bank of Toronto
12:12was bombed.
12:13And you think
12:14in that scant 15 minutes
12:15I had enough time
12:16to set up
12:17and detonate a bomb?
12:19Le voyant.
12:20Then where were you?
12:21I was in the public
12:22lavatory,
12:23relieving myself.
12:24You can check
12:25with the attendant
12:26if you like.
12:27And I have to tell you,
12:28if you enter
12:29my home,
12:30it's an unlawful entry.
12:32So you have
12:33something to hide, then?
12:34I'm merely exercising
12:35my rights under the law.
12:37Now, please,
12:38get out of here.
12:40Your actions
12:41continue to arouse
12:43my suspicions.
12:44Given your nature,
12:46that hardly surprises me.
12:51All right, gentlemen,
12:52let's make sure
12:52those workstations
12:53are spotless.
12:56Miss Reed.
12:59not bad for your
13:00first day,
13:01but I'm going to expect
13:02double the number
13:03of sausages
13:03by next week.
13:24excuse me.
13:27Who are you?
13:32I'm Miss Hilda Reed.
13:34I just started
13:35working here today.
13:36And you are?
13:37Why are you down here?
13:39Funny,
13:39I could ask you
13:40the same thing.
13:41I simply got lost.
13:45I'm Arthur.
13:46That's Barry
13:47and Curtis.
13:52Is this soap?
13:56Why exactly
13:57are you hiding down here
13:59cutting up bars of soap?
14:01Can you keep a secret?
14:04I've been known to.
14:06We're making soap
14:07using lard from the abattoir.
14:09We sell it to
14:10alpacaries in the city.
14:11Think of it
14:12as a supplemental side job.
14:13More like stealing.
14:14We work all day
14:16on the killing floor,
14:18yet it's barely enough
14:19to put food on the table.
14:20I've got a wife
14:21and five kids.
14:23Please don't tell anyone.
14:26I won't.
14:27On one condition.
14:29That is?
14:31Tell me what you know
14:32about the death
14:32of Matthew Smith.
14:34Matthew Smith?
14:37I heard he died here
14:38just yesterday.
14:39Surely you remember.
14:40Of course I do.
14:41He fell dead
14:42near the end of his shift,
14:43right 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
14:54more than he can chew.
14:55Barely stopped to rest
14:57and worked himself to death.
14:59Me cutting isn't easy.
15:01Many men can't handle it.
15:02Remember Jimmy?
15:03Oh, yeah.
15:05Who's Jimmy?
15:06Jimmy Ganting.
15:08He used to work here
15:09not too long ago.
15:10Go on.
15:11One day the place
15:13got too much for him.
15:14He just stopped showing up.
15:15He didn't even clean out
15:16his locker.
15:17Had new work boots
15:18and everything in there.
15:19And you have no idea
15:20what 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. Ganting?
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
16:55at the Sentinel.
16:56I wanted to speak
16:57with Mr. Ganting.
16:58About what?
16:59Some of his co-workers
17:01at the meat plant
17:01said that he stopped
17:02coming to work.
17:03I wanted to know why.
17:06Maybe you know,
17:08Miss...
17:10Emily Wicker.
17:13I haven't seen Jimmy
17:14in two weeks.
17:15I'm scared sick.
17:18You and I were sweethearts?
17:19Yes.
17:21I was walking by
17:22and 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
17:31at Wexler Davies?
17:32Jimmy's a vegetarian.
17:33We both are.
17:34Vegetarian?
17:37Why would a vegetarian
17:38work at a slaughterhouse?
17:47Essays on vegetarianism.
17:49Dr. Kingsford said
17:50those who eat flesh
17:51are responsible
17:52for the horrors
17:53of the slaughterhouse.
17:54This inspired Jimmy.
17:56We believe that
17:57a wish not to harm animals
17:58naturally results
17:59when you recognize
18:00your relationship with them.
18:01Good for you.
18:03That still doesn't answer
18:03my question.
18:05Why would a vegetarian
18:06work at a place like that?
18:07He took the job
18:08to document the cruelty
18:09that went on there.
18:10He said that if the public
18:11could see it for themselves,
18:12it could change some minds.
18:15And you really haven't
18:16seen him for the past
18:17two weeks?
18:18No.
18:19I have no idea
18:20what's happened to him.
18:23You said you were
18:24a journalist?
18:25I am.
18:32Jimmy took these photos
18:33at the plant.
18:35I haven't had the nerve
18:36to develop them,
18:36but could I have them?
18:40Only if you promise
18:41not to publish them
18:42until I know
18:42what's happened to Jimmy.
18:45You have my word.
18:53Watts.
18:54I just spoke with
18:54a former associate
18:55of Mr. Boudreau's
18:56and Mr. Russell Volk.
18:58The two of them
18:59were both involved
18:59in that bank robbery
19:00a decade ago.
19:01You think Volk
19:03is behind this?
19:04I don't know,
19:04but he did say
19:06that he saw
19:07Mr. Boudreau
19:08splurging at a bar
19:09last night.
19:10Apparently he ordered
19:11rounds of drinks
19:12for everyone
19:13and made Mr. Volk
19:14wonder how he could
19:15afford such a thing.
19:16You think it was
19:17the cash stolen
19:17from the Bank of Toronto?
19:23Detective Murdoch?
19:25Chief Constable Brackenry.
19:27Mr. Boudreau.
19:29Yes, I did speak with him.
19:30He's a suspect
19:31in the attempted
19:32bank robbery.
19:36Yes, sir, but I...
19:40Anything of note?
19:45Apparently Boudreau
19:46has filed a complaint
19:48at City Hall,
19:49claims that I am
19:50harassing him,
19:52and the Chief Constable
19:53wants me to back off.
19:55So, are you going to?
19:59Dehydration?
20:00Yes, Mrs. Smith.
20:01It appears that
20:03your husband declined
20:03to take breaks
20:04while doing
20:05strenuous work.
20:06The overwork killed him.
20:09The fool.
20:10If it's any comfort,
20:11he was trying to get a raise.
20:13He was thinking
20:14of his family.
20:15I'd rather he become
20:16a thief and live
20:17than die among pigs.
20:24Mrs. Terry,
20:25I have the photos
20:26you had developed
20:27and printed.
20:28You smell like sausage.
20:30Just give me
20:30the pictures, Mavis.
20:33It's a nice smell.
20:45This isn't easy
20:46to look at.
20:47It's exactly what
20:48Jimmy Ganting
20:49would have liked to hear.
20:56Who is that?
20:58Frank Bale.
21:00The foreman
21:01at the plant.
21:03He looks angry.
21:05Weager,
21:06he found out
21:06about Jimmy's project.
21:12Well,
21:12I suppose this is
21:13the answer to my question
21:14as to what
21:15you are going to do.
21:18Boudreau remains
21:19our most viable suspect.
21:25But if you don't care
21:26to be involved...
21:31interesting.
21:33That certainly looks
21:34like trespassing to me.
21:36We may as well
21:37go down together.
21:47Mr. Boudreau,
21:50what is your business here?
21:52Nothing that concerns you.
21:55You're under arrest
21:56for trespassing.
21:58Isn't this exciting?
22:00No.
22:00What's that?
22:02Watching you
22:02play with fire.
22:04Fire.
22:16Mr. Mars?
22:19It's Chuck.
22:20What do you want?
22:22Why the rubber bands?
22:24Yeah,
22:25it gives me a better grip.
22:26After a couple hours
22:27of this,
22:27you work up a sweat.
22:29Starsful indeed.
22:32You've worked with Frank
22:33for a while now,
22:33right?
22:34I have.
22:35Why do you ask?
22:36Just wondering
22:37how well you know him.
22:39Frank's a decent fella.
22:40One of the best foremen
22:41I've seen.
22:43So,
22:43he never had any conflicts
22:45with any workers?
22:46He's a foreman.
22:48Of course,
22:48there's gonna be beef
22:49from time to time,
22:50but he's a good man.
22:52Did he get along
22:53with Jimmy Ganting?
22:55You know Jimmy Ganting?
22:57I heard workers
22:58talk about him.
23:00Apparently,
23:00he just walked off the job,
23:02left 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,
23:10all I know is he quit
23:11just after a few months.
23:13Didn't find the job
23:14interesting,
23:15I don't know if I suppose.
23:17Why are you asking
23:18about Frank?
23:20Since you let me in
23:20on your secret,
23:21I'll let you in on mine.
23:24My name is Louise Cherry.
23:25I'm actually a journalist.
23:27Then why are you here
23:28stuffing sausages?
23:30I'm writing a story
23:31about what it's like
23:32to work in the biggest meat plant
23:33in all of the British Empire.
23:34But,
23:35they don't know that yet.
23:37You're undercover.
23:38Why?
23:41Sometimes people shut up
23:42when a journalist is around.
23:44I don't blame them.
23:45I should get back
23:46to my work, Miss Cherry.
23:47One question.
23:48One.
23:51Were Frank Bale
23:52and Jimmy at odds?
23:53At odds?
23:54Yeah, I'd say.
23:55They spend most of their time
23:56shouting 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
24:22of the Bank of Toronto
24:23and you were on break
24:24at the time of the explosion.
24:26I already told you
24:28I couldn't possibly
24:29have robbed the bank.
24:30I was in the back.
24:30I know what you told me.
24:32I also know
24:33that you spent
24:34a great deal of money
24:35on frivolities
24:37in the hours
24:39immediately after the robbery.
24:40I think it's telling
24:41I think it's telling
24:41that you call
24:42treating my friends
24:43frivolities.
24:44Excuse me?
24:45Your thinking
24:46and your thinking
24:47it's much more limited
24:48than 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
24:56I wouldn't need to blow it up.
24:59But you do have the expertise
25:00to do so.
25:02Oh, monsieur,
25:02I think I heard a compliment.
25:05What were you doing
25:06on private property
25:07when we arrested you?
25:08I saw you following me.
25:10So I tricked you
25:11into thinking
25:11that I was up to no good.
25:13And you fell right into my trap.
25:16Now I can tell your boss
25:17that you failed
25:17to cease and desist.
25:22What's the closest bank
25:23to the station?
25:24The Dominion?
25:26It sounds like
25:27someone's making
25:28another withdrawal.
25:31Does this mean
25:32I'm free to go?
25:35Same.
25:36Just one.
25:37Frank,
25:37may I speak with you?
25:41You're jammed?
25:54I thought I told you butchers
25:55to watch
25:56what you threw in there.
25:57Look at the yellowing.
25:58It must have been
25:59in there for weeks.
26:00That is Jimmy Ganting.
26:03You did this.
26:04What are you talking about?
26:06You knew Jimmy
26:06was taking photographs
26:07of the place.
26:08Did you throw him
26:09into the grinder?
26:10That's ridiculous.
26:13I have a photograph
26:14of you attacking him.
26:15Where did you get that?
26:17You are fired!
26:19Give me that!
26:21What is going on here?
26:23What is going on here?
26:25Your foreman
26:26pushed a worker
26:27into the grinder.
26:29Did you know about that?
26:31The devil
26:31are you talking about?
26:32My name is
26:33Miss Louise Cherry.
26:34I am the editor-in-chief
26:36of the Sentinel.
26:37Your workers
26:38are dying,
26:39Mr. Davies,
26:40and this time
26:40it's murder
26:41being covered up.
26:44Give me that.
26:50You get out of my plant.
26:51Now.
26:52And if you print a word
26:53of these curious lies,
26:54I will destroy you.
27:05Kelsey.
27:15Looks like the robber
27:15was able to blow
27:16the vault wide open
27:17this time.
27:18Was anyone inside?
27:19No, no.
27:20The bank was closed
27:21for lunch hour.
27:24I spoke too soon.
27:35I just talked
27:36to a bank clerk
27:37who returned from lunch.
27:38She says nothing seems
27:39to have been taken
27:40from the vault.
27:42Interesting.
27:44The body was found
27:45having faced the blast.
27:48Well, perhaps
27:49the dead man
27:50is the culprit.
27:52The explosives
27:53detonated earlier
27:54than he intended.
27:56It's possible.
27:58Hopefully,
27:58Miss Hart can help
27:59identify the body.
28:02Mr. Boudreau,
28:03this is a crime scene.
28:05I'm a free man,
28:06Detexy.
28:07Just because you were
28:08released doesn't mean
28:09you're innocent.
28:10What does that mean?
28:11You could have
28:12accomplices.
28:13You could very well
28:14be delusional.
28:15It had nothing
28:15to do with this.
28:17All right,
28:18then leave.
28:20You know,
28:21I have extensive knowledge
28:24when it comes
28:24to explosives.
28:26You know what kind
28:27it is yet?
28:29I guess not.
28:30Because if you did,
28:31you would have taken
28:31that opportunity
28:32to flump your knowledge.
28:34Do you know
28:36what kind it is?
28:37I can tell
28:38that it's homemade.
28:40You know what?
28:41Take me to the body
28:42and I'll help you
28:44with the case.
28:45Absolutely not.
28:46If you know something,
28:48tell us now.
28:49Remnants of the explosives
28:51may be embedded
28:51in the body.
28:53I took a look.
28:53I could give you
28:54some answers.
28:55What's in it for you?
28:57A chance to prove
28:59that I am innocent.
29:00And also,
29:01maybe the satisfaction
29:02of seeing the look
29:03on the detective's face
29:04when he realizes
29:05that I'm smarter
29:06than he is.
29:09I highly doubt that.
29:13So it wasn't
29:14the work and conditions
29:15that killed
29:16Matthew Smith after all?
29:17No.
29:17But I discovered
29:18someone who really
29:19was murdered.
29:20Jeez Louise,
29:21another dead man?
29:22I believe a foreman
29:24pushed a worker
29:24named Jimmy Ganton
29:25into a meat grinder
29:27and Wexler Davies
29:28is trying to cover it up.
29:29What makes you think so?
29:31Well, he banned me
29:32from the factory
29:33when I told him.
29:34Well, perhaps he just thought
29:35it was a ridiculous notion.
29:36Anywho,
29:37now that I have time
29:38to write,
29:38I'm going to expose
29:39these people for murder.
29:41Louise,
29:42I thought you were
29:42just trying to sell papers.
29:43Are you really trying
29:44to take down this company?
29:46Why not?
29:46I can kill two birds
29:47with one stone.
29:48Well, be careful.
29:49It's a powerful company
29:50you're setting yourself
29:51up against.
29:52Well, I must publish this.
29:54My readers would be
29:55very interested to know
29:56that their sausages
29:56could contain bits
29:57of Jimmy Ganton.
29:58You don't have any evidence.
30:00They could sue you
30:01for libel.
30:02I'll get evidence.
30:03You don't have any evidence.
30:05No, no, no, no.
30:10No, no, no, no, no.
30:13Thanks.
30:14Mm-hmm.
30:37Oh, 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 learned about homemade explosive, I learned 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,
31:45I'd say Mr. Boudreaux is right.
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.
