00:02This portable battery should allow you to power the motion picture camera for upwards of 30 minutes.
00:10But more importantly, it will leave your hands free to adjust the image.
00:15Excellent. Thank you, sir.
00:17Just, why do you need this, Henry?
00:20Well, I'm to be cinematographer for the actuality film that Ruth is making.
00:23How fascinating.
00:25I've seen a few of the Lumiere brothers' actualities.
00:29What exactly is an actuality?
00:32They're non-fiction films. You might call them slices of life.
00:37People will pay to see this?
00:39Very much so.
00:41And just, why are you so interested in being involved, Henry?
00:45Well, sir, I thought it would be a good way to spend time with Ruth.
00:48She's always so busy filming her cereals.
00:50But I'd read The Adventures of Agnes were coming to a conclusion.
00:53Not if Ruthie has anything to say about them, they're not, sir.
00:56Oh, and the actuality isn't just a slice of life.
01:00Ruth is attending an event for survivors of the Grand River train crash.
01:03A survivor in the cereals and a survivor in real life.
01:06People will flock to see this finished actuality.
01:09All right.
01:29Great work, Ruthie.
01:31We can see the menthol stick in your handkerchief.
01:34We need to try again.
01:35Really? I'm not sure about all of this teariness.
01:38Well, the story, as I've conceived it, is one of tragedy, so.
01:45The tale I hired you to tell is one of survival, not some tearjourner.
01:49Well, hold on a sec.
01:50Isn't this moving picture meant to depict real life?
01:53Yes, my thoughts exactly.
01:55Well, if that's the case, then surely nothing should be conceived of in advance.
02:00Uh, a photograph, miss?
02:02Oh, of course.
02:04Happy to oblige.
02:06Oh, is the lighting better over there?
02:07Where are you going?
02:08Uh, Miss Tanner!
02:11Miss Tanner!
02:11Who is she?
02:11That is Amanda Tanner.
02:14Poor thing.
02:15Lost her vision in the crash.
02:17How awful.
02:18Yes, that is terrible.
02:20However, I probably think that makes her more photograph-worthy than a film star.
02:24Well, Miss Tanner has garnered attention for her advocacy for the blind.
02:29Sounds like a ploy to get more fame.
02:32Are we going to be filming anything else?
02:34If not, I could use a snack.
02:37Yes, we will, in just a moment.
02:39This is Mrs. Nora Hosh, another survivor.
02:42Now, I'd like to get footage of the two of you arriving at the event together,
02:45as sort of a nod to sisterhood among survivors.
02:50Mightn't that steal focus from moi?
02:53Why don't we just try one?
02:55Hmm?
02:55Hmm.
02:56Well.
02:59Mrs. Hosh.
03:01Hosh.
03:02And you are?
03:03I'm Ruth Higgins Newsome, film actress, and one of your fellow survivors.
03:08No, you're not.
03:10Yes, I am.
03:11Now, let's link arms and walk this way.
03:13Whatever this publicity stunt is, I am most certainly not interested.
03:21Heavens.
03:21Are you all right?
03:22I'm fine.
03:23Ha-Háááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááá
04:03The sound, it was like...
04:05Like the poor woman was dropped into a frying pan.
04:08Henry, and you were filming the actuality when this happened.
04:11Captured the entire thing.
04:13Likely a cinematic first.
04:14Oh, thanks to me.
04:15I knew Mrs. Hopes would add something spectacular to our project.
04:19I'd hardly call death by electrocution that.
04:21Well, that's because you lack a creative sensibility.
04:26We'll wait for Ms. Hart to confirm, but this will likely be deemed accidental.
04:31Still, I ought to attend this evening's events.
04:33Oh, I don't think that will be necessary, sir?
04:36Oh, on the contrary.
04:37The remaining survivors may be rattled by what happened.
04:39And perhaps the filmmakers will want to highlight my role in responding to Mrs. Hosha's death.
04:45Why would we do that?
04:50About what Mrs. Hosha said...
04:52Oh, I don't recall her saying anything.
04:54She suggested that you weren't a survivor.
04:58You were on the train that crashed, weren't you?
05:01I was meant to be, but the day of the departure had a very dark premonition.
05:07So you weren't on the train?
05:10Oh, sweet Frank.
05:12Sweet, sweet Frank.
05:13Sometimes I forget this is your first moving picture.
05:15Details like that don't really matter.
05:17But the actuality is about having survived a train crash.
05:23Yes, and the universe warned me not to get on the train.
05:27So I did survive the crash.
05:36The battery means you needn't continuously turn the crank.
05:39It saves my arm from getting tired, but this is still quite a lot of work.
05:42Don't you just point the camera where the director tells you to.
05:45Mr. Higgins, do something, please.
05:47I'll leave you to it.
05:57Thank you all for coming.
05:59This weekend marks two years since the Grand River train crash,
06:03and I thought it fitting that we, the survivors, observed the occasion.
06:08And so we are here to drink, to dine, and to remember those we have lost,
06:15and how very grateful we are to be here today.
06:18Hear, hear.
06:20Before festivities commence, I thought we might share memories of that fateful day.
06:26Why would we want to do that?
06:29It may help us overcome any lingering feelings of fear and shock.
06:33Would anyone like to share?
06:35I think we should reconsider the focus of this picture.
06:38Enough of this.
06:39Are we going to ignore the fact that one of our own just died in the street?
06:43Mrs. Hosh's death was a terrible accident.
06:45That was no accident.
06:47It was fate.
06:49I beg your pardon?
06:50We were meant to die on that train.
06:52Every one of us.
06:54You ask me, this is God settling the score.
06:59Why is everyone so focused on looking backward?
07:02It's fine to mark the anniversary, but the past is the past.
07:07I suppose we shouldn't be surprised you feel that way.
07:10What is that supposed to mean?
07:12I think you know.
07:13Don't you start on that.
07:15Now this is getting interesting.
07:29Good evening, Constable Roberts.
07:30Miss Hart?
07:32Waiting for someone?
07:33Miss Berger.
07:35Oh.
07:35Is she assisting you on a case?
07:37No.
07:38I escort her home some evenings.
07:41So it was, as I suspected at the cinema, recording.
07:44No.
07:45No.
07:45No.
07:46No.
07:46No.
07:46No.
07:47I...
07:47It's just for her safety.
07:49We're just friends.
07:50It's all.
07:51I see.
07:53Hello, Constable.
07:55Miss Hart.
07:56Miss Berger.
07:57I thought I would escort you home tonight, Miss Berger.
08:01It is late.
08:03What a thoughtful colleague you are, Constable Roberts.
08:08Good night.
08:12Lovely night.
08:14Nice to have some warmer weather.
08:16Do you have any plans this evening?
08:18Not at all.
08:19Do you?
08:19I was thinking...
08:23I'd try to finish this.
08:27Detective Murdoch's book?
08:29It's fascinating.
08:30I'm learning a lot about police work.
08:33Is that right?
08:34Yes.
08:35I expect it will help my work as a morality officer.
08:40Mrs. Hosha's death was indeed an accident, as I suspected.
08:44Yes, that was my report on the electrocution, but...
08:50Another survivor from the Grand River crash was delivered to the morgue last month.
08:55A Hal Yost.
08:57Interesting.
08:58Mr. Yost's death was an unlikely accident, as well, involving a runaway barrel and a manhole.
09:07Is it your belief, then, that these deaths may not be accidents at all?
09:10I could be jumping to conclusions.
09:14Or perhaps you're simply paying attention.
09:21So much for interesting.
09:26I could do a dramatic recounting of one of the adventures of Agnes to sort of elevate the mood.
09:31That's a wonderful idea.
09:32I'm quite partial to Antarctic Agnes myself.
09:35A stellar installment.
09:37I'm not sure a dramatic recounting will translate to film.
09:43Oh, it's Detective Murdoch.
09:44Over here.
09:53Mr. Creel.
09:54What's going on?
09:55Dear God.
09:56Henry, call a doctor.
09:58Everyone stay back, please.
10:04It's hit the artery.
10:06Can he be saved?
10:09Do you still think this isn't fate coming for us?
10:12The man has a point.
10:14I'm not so sure.
10:16Look, the hand iron, it's been shifted out of its usual position.
10:20Are you saying you're thinking it's something other than an accident?
10:24I believe this to be murder.
10:34What are you hoping to discover?
10:35Why this champagne flute shattered while all others remained intact.
10:41Surely it was just an accident.
10:43I don't believe so.
10:44The etchings on this one are different from the club's usual stemware.
10:49And the gauge of the crystal of this one is much thinner.
10:53I see.
10:54But still, shattered glass and the shifted and iron don't equal murder.
10:59But consider it in the context of Mr. Yost and Mrs. Hosh's death.
11:04Research you asked for.
11:06Three out-of-proven survivors of the Grand River crash have died in the past six months.
11:10But weren't there only a dozen survivors to begin with?
11:12Yes, sir.
11:14Crushed by a log.
11:17Hanged by a bathtub laundry line.
11:22Decapitated by an elevator door.
11:25Horrifying accidents, but accidents all the same.
11:28I mean, I'm not sure I believe that.
11:30Who would go to the lengths required to kill in such outlandish ways?
11:33A very good question, constable.
11:35And one we don't yet have the answer to.
11:38Perhaps the event organizer is the best place to start.
11:43How dare you?
11:45Insinuating my wife had something to do with these terrible deaths?
11:47I'm simply asking questions.
11:50Chester, dear.
11:51Why don't you go pick up the flowers for the luncheon at the garden shop?
11:59I apologize, detective.
12:01My husband is protective.
12:03A consequence of what we've been through.
12:05Of course.
12:06The train crash must have been very traumatic.
12:09Yes.
12:10Very.
12:12So, why hold a reunion?
12:15I thought it would be a comfort.
12:17Chester and I have each other, but the others, they don't have anyone that understands what
12:22we lived through that day.
12:25Can you think of anyone who would wish you or your fellow survivors harm?
12:29You mean other than David?
12:31David.
12:32Mr. Woods?
12:33He and I were married the day before the train crash, and we were traveling to Detroit for
12:39our honeymoon.
12:40I had our union annulled after he abandoned me in the wreckage.
12:46Oh, so you believe Mr. Woods holds a grudge against you and Mr. Kent?
12:52Against all of us.
12:53Why?
12:54I think he resents all of us survivors for the bravery we showed that day.
13:01It's just awful.
13:02Well, it's terrible.
13:03And the washerwoman said the blood may never come out of my dress.
13:06I meant about the accidents.
13:07Oh, yes.
13:09The accidents are awful, too.
13:11And one of them sallied my dress.
13:13We're talking about the same thing, Henry, darling.
13:15I've been thinking, dear.
13:17Perhaps we ought to shift the focus of your actuality as you suggested.
13:21I don't see why.
13:22Well, dear, two people have died.
13:25You could be in danger.
13:26I doubt that.
13:28It's all right to be frightened.
13:30I am.
13:31What is there to be frightened about?
13:38Are you all right?
13:42Mr. Kent, are you all right?
13:45Fine.
13:46You got off better than you two.
13:56Perhaps I am just the teensiest bit alarmed by whatever that was.
14:01Well, this fertilizer was most certainly the source of the explosion.
14:04It's quite the coincidence that an explosion went off at the same time the signs fell on Mr. Kent.
14:09I believe it was a coincidence, constable.
14:13Mr. Kent was on his way to this garden shop.
14:16The explosion happened, and it flung debris into the air.
14:21He would have sought out shelter.
14:22And with this being the only awning nearby, he took cover.
14:28The force of the explosion caused a cyanophon?
14:32I believe it had helped.
14:37Yes.
14:38See?
14:39Tool markings.
14:41The legs were pried open.
14:44Someone rigged this sign to fall correctly, assuming that Mr. Kent would be taking shelter from the explosion here.
14:51Henry, are you sure you and Ruth are all right?
14:55Nothing that a hot bath can't solve, sir.
14:58Constable, canvas this area.
15:01Someone set this explosion deliberately, and I want to know who.
15:05Right.
15:05Yes, sir.
15:07You mean to say that you don't think this was an accident, sir?
15:10I don't think any of these deaths have been accidents, Henry.
15:14Ruth should be being very careful.
15:17Sir, I've been telling her just that.
15:21But who would want to kill the survivors of a train crash?
15:27What's this all about?
15:30You're aware that three train crash survivors have died in the past 24 hours, and four others in the past
15:38six months.
15:39Oh, right.
15:40Awful business.
15:42Criminal, even.
15:44Do you mean to say someone killed those people?
15:47Is that why I'm here?
15:48Am I at risk?
15:50I have no evidence to suggest that at this time.
15:53So then why am I...
15:56Wait.
15:57Do you think I killed Chester?
16:00And Mr. Creel and Mrs. Hoche?
16:04Your former wife has suggested that you resent your fellow crash survivors.
16:09Oh, I don't.
16:11That's not...
16:12I hadn't even gotten to town when that woman was electrocuted.
16:16Can you prove that?
16:18Damn right I can.
16:20I've got the train ticket right here.
16:32And what of Chester Kent, the man married your wife?
16:36You have very clear motive for wanting him dead.
16:39No.
16:41No.
16:42Chester saved Jane's life.
16:44The man was a hero.
16:48When the crash happened, I panicked.
16:52I could only think of saving myself.
16:56I was a coward.
16:58Chester.
17:00He ran toward the danger to save my wife.
17:04How could I wish harm on someone like that?
17:10So Mr. Woods isn't our man?
17:13He didn't arrive in Toronto until after Mrs. Hoche's death.
17:16So what now?
17:17I suppose I'll analyze the fertilizer to see if it's been tampered with
17:21to make it more volatile.
17:24Constable Roberts, what have you.
17:25Witnesses say they saw a woman loitering by the garden shop for a long time.
17:29Did you get a description?
17:30Yes.
17:30And I asked the owner of the shop.
17:31He said it seemed like a regular customer,
17:33a woman studying chemistry at the University of Toronto.
17:36A chemistry student would know the explosive properties of fertilizer.
17:39We need to find this young woman.
17:42Leave it to me.
17:48Detective Murdoch?
17:51Yes, yes.
17:53I'll be right there.
17:56That was Henry.
17:58The director of the actuality has now been attacked.
18:03I thought you said this was all about the survivors, Henry.
18:05We thought that it was.
18:07Mr. Hogan, what happened?
18:09He was pushed off the ladder, sir.
18:10I was processing yesterday's film in the darkroom.
18:15Nearly fell into the development baths and burnt my face off.
18:17So I suppose I'm lucky it's just a broken leg.
18:21Does anyone else have access to your darkroom?
18:24I don't have my own.
18:25I use the facilities at the university.
18:28And you have no relation whatsoever to the Grand River train crash.
18:32Only our actuality.
18:35All I can think is that this is punishment for attempting to profit from it.
18:40It's an interesting theory.
18:42But then, that means I have twice the target on my back.
18:46All the more reason to stop making this film.
18:48No.
18:49No, I will not have my voice silenced.
18:53Well, I'm in no condition to work.
18:56Why?
18:56You only broke one leg.
19:03Come on.
19:04Let me help you.
19:07Hello, Ms. Berger.
19:09I'll just be a minute.
19:10I'm finishing up some paperwork.
19:11I don't mind.
19:12Take your time.
19:15Did you finish it?
19:16I did.
19:17It's fascinating.
19:19The way Detective Murdoch and his wife work hand in glove, it's quite romantic, really.
19:26You think so?
19:27I imagine you'd be against workplace romance.
19:30Oh, I am.
19:31Completely.
19:32But the detective and Dr. Ogden are soulmates.
19:36Teddy, have you been able to locate the young lady that was seen loitering at the site of the explosion?
19:41Yes, Ms. Eve Hendry.
19:42She's in the interview room.
19:43Very good.
19:44And you'll want to see this.
19:50You were charged with sending threatening notes to Luther Creel.
19:55Because he told the authorities my father caused the Grand River crash.
20:00Your father was the engineer.
20:02But Mr. Creel was the conductor.
20:04He was responsible for the train speed.
20:06It is his fault my father is dead and that he took the blame.
20:10Are you aware that Mr. Creel was killed recently?
20:13Along with several other survivors?
20:16Cowards is more like.
20:18I beg your pardon.
20:19They saved themselves.
20:21But did they spare a moment's thought for anyone else?
20:24My father might be alive today if only...
20:33Miss Hendry, witnesses claim they saw you checking your hair for quite some time
20:38at the scene of an explosion that killed another survivor recently.
20:42Checking my hair isn't a crime.
20:45Not in and of itself.
20:47But were you using a mirror by chance?
20:51Yes.
20:54And as a chemistry student, you are aware of what could happen if one were to use a concave
21:00reflective surface such as a mirror to focus the sun's rays onto a combustible substance.
21:07Are you accusing me of setting the explosion, detective?
21:10You had both means and motive.
21:12And you had access to the facilities at the university where a young man was attacked earlier today.
21:19No.
21:21After I was charged last year for writing those letters, I decided to put the past behind me.
21:26I didn't do this.
21:30What were you doing outside of Franz's garden shop then?
21:34I was waiting for a gentleman.
21:35I was meant to go on a date.
21:37I'll need to speak with that gentleman.
21:39I'd like to do the same.
21:41The cad never arrived.
21:47Henry.
21:47Henry.
21:48I want you to direct my actuality.
21:51Hmm?
21:52Hmm.
21:52Well, Mr. Hogan can't direct while he's on crutches.
21:54And your camera work is really coming along.
21:57Oh.
21:58Well, dear, I'm still not sure it's a good idea to continue.
22:01No, that's nonsense.
22:02No, no.
22:02Continuing on with the very best constable and the entire city as director, that eliminates all risk.
22:08Well, when you put it like that.
22:10Yeah.
22:11Hmm.
22:11Uh, Inspector.
22:12Uh, perhaps we ought to do more to protect the remaining survivors.
22:16What do you propose?
22:17Assign a constable to each one of them.
22:19I'd be with Ruthie, of course.
22:21Hmm.
22:21Smart thinking.
22:22I'll make the arrangements.
22:24Oh.
22:25Wonderful.
22:26Let's to the salon.
22:27I'm in desperate need of an electric bath.
22:30Uh, dear.
22:31Electricity in the bath?
22:33That doesn't sound like a good idea.
22:35No, Henry.
22:35There's no water in the bath.
22:37It's a bath of light.
22:38Pure heaven.
22:41This will be fascinating for my fans to see in the actuality.
22:43Oh.
22:46Camera.
22:48Oh, dear.
22:51Here, the door.
22:54Miss Henry is to remain in our cells for the time being.
22:58I'll ensure she's comfortable.
23:00Do you think she's responsible for the murders?
23:03It's possible.
23:04But something she said made me wonder if there may be other grieving families who are angry at the survivors.
23:11Could you do a bit of research?
23:13Look into newspapers, interviews from the inquest?
23:17I would, sir.
23:19But the inspector told me to provide security detail for one of the survivors.
23:23Perhaps I could do it.
23:27That would be very helpful, Ms. Berger.
23:40Cut.
23:42Dear, the director is meant to call cut.
23:47What are you doing here?
23:49Mrs. Higgins-Newson?
23:51Yes.
23:52I'm in the middle of making a moving picture.
23:56I'm to take an electric bath.
23:57Oh, but I booked the bath several days ago.
24:02Perhaps you didn't notice a mistake in the booking.
24:05Anywho, I really must insist.
24:07Oh, no.
24:07That's all right.
24:08I'm happy to have my permanent done first.
24:11Lovely.
24:13Henry, follow me.
24:15Action!
24:22Cut!
24:24What is it now?
24:26Didn't realize that you'd be revealing so much in the actuality, Ruthie.
24:31It is a simple bathing dress, dear.
24:34Do the people really need to see your...
24:38What's this?
24:41It's probably just a leaky roof.
24:44We can't be too careful right now.
24:45I'll see to this.
24:47Set the camera running before you go.
24:50I will do this myself.
25:02I hope you don't mind being a de facto tour guide, constable.
25:05Not at all.
25:06But I am surprised.
25:08Aren't you frightened?
25:09There's nothing to be scared of.
25:11Not once you've looked death in the eye like I did during the crash.
25:14The way I see it, I've been on borrowed time ever since.
25:18How can you live like that?
25:19Carpe diem.
25:21Carpe what?
25:22Carpe diem.
25:23It means seize the day.
25:26Constable Roberts.
25:28Ms. Berger, hello.
25:29How's the research going?
25:30Oh, it's thrilling.
25:32Really?
25:33You never know what secrets are hiding in the details.
25:36I best go.
25:37The library is gathering microforms for me as we speak.
25:41Hmm.
25:42Awfully pretty young lady.
25:44She is.
25:46But we're just friends.
25:48If that's so, it's only because you have not yet seized a day.
25:56Help!
25:57Help!
25:59Someone help!
26:01Henry, help!
26:03Ruthie?
26:05Henry, thank God.
26:07Henry, Henry, hurry.
26:07Ruthie, what's going on?
26:08I'm hot, hot.
26:09Very hot.
26:10Don't worry.
26:11We'll get you out of here.
26:13Hurry.
26:14Henry, hurry.
26:15Please, please, please, hurry.
26:21I'm burning up.
26:22Come on.
26:23Don't worry.
26:25Where's the plug?
26:29Come on.
26:34Come on, Dad.
26:35Come on.
26:36Mommy.
26:37Mommy, you're a hero.
26:39I thought I was going to burn alive and think we're going to burn.
26:41No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
26:50Well, there's no denying that the bath has been tampered with.
26:54You didn't see anyone else in the room?
26:55No, sir.
26:56I was busy tending to a leak.
26:58I couldn't see a thing.
27:00Right.
27:01A little canvas all around.
27:02Perhaps someone was seen entering or exiting the salon.
27:07I suspect that these bulbs have been replaced with something of much higher wattage.
27:13Sir, Ruth was the first to use the bath today.
27:15Someone must have snuck in and swapped them sometime overnight.
27:18But I only made my appointment this morning, so how could the killer have known such a thing unless...
27:24Sir.
27:25It was Miss Tanner who was meant to be in the bath.
27:28Well, some opinions differ.
27:30So Ruth wasn't the intended target then.
27:34Oh.
27:35Come on, Ruthie.
27:36This is good news.
27:38Oh.
27:39Well, but it was after Ruth entered the machine that someone tried tying the handles together.
27:45So I was the intended target.
27:50And you don't recall anything else out of the ordinary?
27:53No, sir.
27:54I was in the other room fetching a mop.
27:58But I did leave the camera running.
28:04Eve Henry is to be released from custody.
28:06There is no way she tampered with the electric bath from the comfort of ourselves.
28:10And it's highly unlikely we're dealing with two culprits.
28:13Exactly.
28:15I still can't believe people would pay to watch such mundane things.
28:21Then you underestimate the power of celebrity.
28:24Oh.
28:27And, uh, I'd hardly call that mundane.
28:39What happened?
28:43Let's see that again.
29:00Someone's tilted the camera.
29:04That must be the killer.
29:06By shoes alone, I'd say it's a man.
29:09He deliberately shifted the camera angle to keep his face hidden.
29:24I wonder, have you located the man who stood up Miss Hendry?
29:28No.
29:29We only know who's Christian and why.
29:31Perhaps it's the same man who's after the survivors of the train crash.
29:36Is it your theory that the killer is attempting to frame Miss Hendry for his crimes?
29:40It's a theory worth considering.
29:44All right.
29:45I'll have her sit with a sketch artist before she leaves.
29:49Here we are.
29:51Half a dozen.
29:53Never had the guts to try oysters before.
29:55I haven't either.
29:58It's now or never, so?
30:00Carpe diem, I guess.
30:02Cheers to that.
30:08Look out!
30:11Detective Murdoch, I may have found something.
30:14What is it?
30:15A potential discrepancy in the records from the inquest into the train crash.
30:19Go on.
30:20There were cash payouts made to families of all but one victim.
30:25Interesting.
30:26Do you know why?
30:27Not yet, but...
30:29Detective!
30:31Everything's all right.
30:32We were attacked.
30:33I didn't even get to eat my oysters.
30:35What happened?
30:36Someone threw a planter off the roof onto us.
30:38Did you see who it was?
30:40No.
30:41And by the time I got to the roof, they were gone.
30:42I figured it best to get Mr. Mank here to safety.
30:44Quite right.
30:45A consabularity detail clearly isn't sufficient.
30:48I agree.
30:49I believe we need to bring all of the survivors into protective custody.
30:54Inspector, could you take Mr. Mank into your office?
30:57Constable Roberts with me.
30:59Yes, sir.
31:03Just through here, please.
31:06Make yourselves comfortable, but please try not to touch me.
31:13Anything.
31:14What was that sound?
31:15Just my crutches.
31:17Sorry about that.
31:20I'm so frightened.
31:21I am too, dear.
31:23Wish I'd never planned this whole thing.
31:25You couldn't have known what was going to happen.
31:27Thank you, David.
31:28I don't really see a need for all of us to be crammed like sardines in here.
31:32Is there nowhere more suitable?
31:34Well, this is the safest place for you to be right now.
31:38Nowhere is safe from fate.
31:40How long must we stay here?
31:42Until we find the person that tried to kill you.
31:47Mr. Claude Claxson, I am here to ask about your son.
31:53Quentin.
31:54I understand he was killed in the Grand River train crash.
32:01I'm sorry for your loss.
32:03But I wonder, why didn't you accept the compensation offered to families by the railway?
32:11Those bastards never offered me a cent, that's why.
32:15They refused my claim.
32:18Why would they do that?
32:22Quentin's body was never found.
32:24He was obviously incinerated.
32:27But try telling that to a bureaucrat.
32:33You don't happen to have a photograph of your son, do you?
32:38The ways in which things come to an end are manifold.
32:42Yet everything that has a beginning has an end.
32:46This entire universe will someday be swept away.
32:51Weep, if you can, after that, over the loss of any individual life.
32:58It's a cat holding a bouquet of flowers.
33:01No.
33:02Well, draw it again and do it well this time.
33:05Fate has not spared you.
33:06It is a great consolation to rest like that.
33:13What on earth is that noise?
33:19Henry, is that supposed to happen?
33:23I am sure it's all right, dear.
33:25What is going on here?
33:26I'm not smart.
33:32Everybody down!
33:35Jane, no!
33:43That was a close one.
33:45Is everyone all right?
33:50David!
33:58You saved my life.
34:00Just doing what I should have done.
34:03Two years ago on that train.
34:08Right, constable, escort Mr. Woods to the hospital.
34:11Carefully.
34:13What happened?
34:14I have no idea, sir.
34:15No one was anywhere near the thing.
34:20Someone had to have loaded the projectile
34:22and activated the machine,
34:24and yet no one saw or heard a thing.
34:26Not a thing.
34:27No, I was paying attention to myself.
34:29My back was turned.
34:30I felt a cool breeze coming from over there.
34:33Sir, the window is open.
34:37Do you think someone could have broken in
34:38and tampered with the launcher?
34:40But you said that this was the safest place for us to be.
34:43Yes, exactly.
34:44That's what you told us.
34:45That's why we came.
34:46Everyone, please, remain calm.
34:48Calm?
34:48How do you expect us to be calm, hmm?
34:50I refuse to remain in this den of death
34:53for a moment longer.
34:54All right.
34:54I'm really not surprised.
34:55Like dominoes, we fall.
34:56That's all.
34:57What should we do, sir?
34:58We're locked in the Burlock's torture chamber.
34:59Escort them to the cells.
35:00That is not what I meant.
35:02Come along, everyone.
35:22If I'm going to die, I want to do it on my own terms.
35:25Well, I don't see how that's possible.
35:27Easy.
35:28Sunset at the bus.
35:29You're not leaving, are you?
35:31I appreciate you saving my life,
35:32but it was hardly worth it.
35:33My time is up.
35:35Well, mine isn't.
35:36I've barely made a name for myself.
35:38I am getting on the next train heading west.
35:40You can't go.
35:41Tell them, Inspector.
35:42We cannot legally prevent them from leaving,
35:45but I strongly encourage you both to stay here
35:48for your own safety.
35:50Sir?
35:56Remember what I told you about seizing the day,
35:58Constable Roberts?
36:03What did Mr. Mank mean by that?
36:06Oh, I'm not sure.
36:08How goes your research?
36:10Intriguingly.
36:11Have you made any progress in identifying the killer?
36:13Yes, and no.
36:15We suspect it might be the man who stood up Miss Hendry.
36:17We ought to sit with a sketch artist.
36:19I need to see that sketch.
36:22Yes.
36:22Yes, of course.
36:26Any clues as to the intruder's identity out there?
36:30No.
36:30And the window doesn't appear to have been forced open from the outside.
36:34How is that possible?
36:37Unless the killer didn't come from outside.
36:40Oh, no.
36:41What?
36:43Both male survivors have just left a building.
36:46No.
36:49Sirs, I suppose you found something.
36:51What is it?
36:52This is who stood up Eve Hendry,
36:54and this is Quentin Claxon,
36:56the train crash victim whose family didn't receive a payout.
36:59They're the same man.
37:00Which means Quentin Claxon isn't dead.
37:04He's out for revenge.
37:05And he tried to set up Miss Hendry,
37:07as you suspected.
37:08It's despicable.
37:09But who's this man?
37:11The killer must have been one of the two men
37:14in the Situation Room just now,
37:16Bert Mank or Frank Hogan.
37:18Frank, a killer?
37:19Hardly.
37:20Besides, how could he have attacked anyone while on crutches?
37:24The crutches were a ruse.
37:27Frank Hogan wasn't pushed off of a ladder or anything else.
37:31How do you figure?
37:33Well, there's no proof.
37:35His supposed attack is the only one
37:37that wasn't actually witnessed by anyone.
37:39But how could he have set off the launcher
37:42without anyone noticing?
37:48He bumped into my desk
37:50when he first walked into the situation.
37:52He could have pocketed the awl
37:53and then later placed it in the launcher.
37:56But, sir, Mr. Hogan was nowhere near the ball launcher
37:58when it went off.
38:00But he didn't need to be.
38:01He could have activated it with one of his crutches.
38:08Same features, different hair.
38:11That's him.
38:11Frank Hogan is Quentin Claxton.
38:13Oh, dear Lord.
38:15Frank Hogan tried to kill me.
38:17And now he's leaving town.
38:19No, I don't think so.
38:21A man that filled with hatred
38:23isn't going to lead the job unfinished.
38:27Mr. Mank could be in danger.
38:28Where's he now?
38:30I remember him saying something
38:32about the sunset at the bluffs.
38:34Right.
38:35Constable, with me.
38:39It's quite a good drawing, sir.
38:44Mank.
38:48What are you doing here?
38:50You still don't recognize me?
38:54I had thought of all the people
38:56you might be the one to actually remember.
39:05Oh, please.
39:16I'm sorry.
39:24Please.
39:30You.
39:32You're alive.
39:34That's right.
39:38I didn't think you could be saved.
39:40You didn't even try.
39:44Because I had to save myself,
39:45but it has weighed on me every day since.
39:48Well,
39:50you won't have to worry about that
39:51for much longer.
39:53Put down the gun, Mr. Claxton.
39:56No.
39:57He has to pay for what he did.
40:00He left me to die.
40:01They all left me to die!
40:03It's okay, detective.
40:04I deserve it.
40:07I deserve it.
40:08Now.
40:29I don't know.
40:42what do you think
40:45uh it really was quite something so you liked it then the camera work was fantastic
40:56well that settles it it's for the waste paper basket what why no one mentions the camera work
41:03in a moving picture unless it's a total stinker there's no future in these real life stories
41:08anyway the public wants fiction and i'm going to give it to them you mean i have more adventures
41:15of agnes to look forward to oh no tanner's triumphs a serial about miss tanner a more
41:25fashionable sophisticated adventurous but still blind miss tanner played by moi
41:33anywho must dash i'm meeting a script writer to discuss the first installment
41:40well so much for my new career i suppose the camera work really was quite good
41:50oh miss berger yes detective
41:53um do you have ambitions beyond the morality department what do you mean
42:02you did quite a bit more than the research that was asked of you
42:06i didn't mean to overstep oh no i i'm i'm grateful i'm grateful that you did
42:11it was nothing compared to the dangerous sort of work you and the constables do
42:16you might be surprised by how much of police work is quite the opposite
42:22would you be interested in doing more of this work should the need arise
42:26i would like that very much oh good good well then consider this desk yours my own desk
42:48thank you detective
42:49thank you
