- (RADIO WHIRRING) - All right, Constable, say something.

Anything.

There once was a young man from Hog's Hollow...

The ladies were eager to follow.

A simple hello will do.

- You'll let me go at once! - You can't go in there. No!

- This is egregious! - You can't... no!

- Louise Cherry. - That's all for now.

- Constable, I'll handle this. - It's outrageous!

Miss Cherry, he's just doing his job.

- Like some autocratic stooge! - (SCOFFS)

George, Miss Cherry.

I am being wrongly taken into custody.

Under whose orders?

Mine.

- Terrence Meyers. - Murdoch,

this woman is publishing leaks from Robert Borden's campaign

on the eve of a federal election.

As is my right!

Rights? (SCOFFS)

As a journalist? Huh. Can you imagine?

A hole blown in the fabric of society.

It's called freedom of the press!

This woman needs to be thrown behind bars

until she names the source of these leaks.

- It's a matter of national... - National security. Yes.

But unless you can point to a specific law

that Miss Cherry is in violation of,

I'm afraid I can't simply hold her in our cells.

- Miss Cherry, you are free to go. - Thank you, Detective.

But what's to protect me next time

some mandarin of the state oversteps his authority?

As far as you're concerned?

I can't guarantee that won't happen.

Then lock me up, Detective.

Let's see how much stomach this government has

once this issue is before the courts.

What's all this, then? A mother's meeting?

Sir, I'm attempting to release Miss Cherry,

but both she and Agent Meyers seem intent that I lock her up.

Agent Meyers?

Thought you were a politician.

Who are you?

It's classified information.

Meyers, it's always a pleasure,

but we don't have time for this.

- Headed somewhere, sir? - We both are.

The Honourable Robert Borden

has just arrived in Toronto and we're looking after him.

The man might be this country's next prime minister,

so, Miss Cherry, please, run along.

We've got bigger fish to fry.

Murdoch, grab your hat. You're with me.

(SOFT MUSIC)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- Detective Murdoch... - Detectives! Over here.

Thank you for responding to my call so quickly.

I beg your pardon?

To which call are you referring?

- Kitchen boy found him. - Wallet's empty.

This camera's been smashed and there's no film inside.

Perhaps there was a struggle for it.

- Do you know this man? - I did.

Arthur Wilson.

He worked for Robert Borden.

Well, he's no longer on the payroll.

Based on algor mortis, I'd estimate the victim

died sometime between 9 P.M. and midnight.

The cause appears to be a penetrating gunshot wound to the chest.

Death would have been quick.

Right. Thank you, Miss Hart.

I also noticed one other thing. Uh,

there's a key around his neck.

Hmm.

He was keeping it hidden.

Tiny key for a tiny lock in a tiny door...

Bird cage.

Or luggage.

Uh, pardon me. Where might we find your Borden people here?

Thank you.

Excuse me, sir.

Toronto Constabulary.

Is Mr. Borden about?

I'm sorry. Mr. Borden cannot be disturbed,

but I assure you I-I speak on his behalf.

- And you are? - William Price.

Mr. Borden's political secretary.

Oh. Very good.

What position did Mr. Wilson, uh, fill on the campaign?

Ah, he was, uh, in charge of logistics and security.

He travelled ahead of the campaign.

- Oh. Is that why he carried a camera? - Oh, yes. Yes.

He photographed venues and accommodations.

- What sort of a man was he? - Hard to say.

- He, uh, kept to himself. - Did he have any enemies?

Not that I'm aware of.

In truth, I knew very little about the man.

When did you see him last?

Two days ago when he quit.

He quit? For what reason?

He wasn't committed to Mr. Borden,

which I could not understand. He is the best man,

the only man, for the job.

I do hope Mr. Borden has your votes.

Uh, where were you last night between nine and midnight?

In my room, preparing the minister's speech.

- Alone? - Yes.

Will that be all?

Mr. Borden's rally is tonight

and there's a great deal left to accomplish.

Of course. Thank you for your time.

Remember, Borden is your man.

The man's as oily as tinned fish.

But I don't see any motive for murder.

- Nor do I. - Ah, sirs.

What have you, George?

Well, I couldn't find anybody who heard a gunshot,

but the hotel manager gave me this.

Our victim's last known address.

Anything interesting at the desk?

Yes, sir, there's this handbill

from an agricultural rally just two days ago.

Suitcase with some spare shirts.

And this briefcase.

Well, let's get it open.

It's locked.

The key.

Doesn't fit.

Maybe there's another case?

Right.

Huh. What's this?

Oh. A hidden compartment.

These are internal documents

from the Robert Borden campaign, sir.

Private letters and telegrams.

Not the sort of stuff that an advance man

would normally carry around.

Sir, these are similar in content to the documents

that Miss Cherry has been printing in her paper.

Mr. Wilson was the source of the leaks.

Bloody hell.

She looks to be about 32.

If you could write down that she... oh!

Ah, Julia! Please. Come quickly.

- What's happened? - A woman was brought in

unconscious by her landlady.

Hello, I'm Doctor Julia Ogden.

- What's your tenant's name? - Oh.

She never said.

I don't think she speaks English.

Has she been ill long?

Well, not that I know of.

Laboured breathing and her eyes are cloudy.

Is she sensitive to pollen?

Well, how should I know?

What's this?

There's signs of erythema on her forearm.

That's not my doing.

I found her like that.

Oh, dear God.

Her fingers have been amputated.

Mr. Price, could we have a word?

Sorry, Inspector, you've caught me at a bad time.

We thought you might like to see what we've found.

Private campaign documents

that were hidden by your former logistics man.

Yes, I see.

You knew he was tipping off the press?

He confessed to me personally.

- He confessed? - Yes.

He said he'd experienced a change of heart.

He'd been put up to it by a political rival,

but the more time he spent with Mr. Borden,

the more he came to regard him

as a kind and thoughtful patriot.

And yet he quit his post anyway?

No. If you want the truth, I fired him.

Bloody hell.

Well, in my experience, trust between men

is like a fine wine:

Years to develop, no time at all to spoil.

And what about our trust in you, Mr. Price?

I'm a political secretary, Inspector.

My job requires skillful management of facts

in the service of the greater good.

That's just a fancy way of saying...

You're a liar.

Excuse me a moment.

Excuse me, miss.

May I ask you a question?

- Well, that depends. - (CHUCKLING)

I'm Detective William Murdoch of the Toronto Constabulary.

Um, I assume you are the telephone switchboard operator?

You're a clever detective. How'd you know?

Oh. Uh, the size of the room that you exited,

its proximity to the front desk, coupled with the fact

that you are only wearing one earring.

(LAUGHING)

It-it gets in the way of the earpiece.

Yes.

Um, did you happen to receive

any strange phone calls last night?

I assure you, Inspector, after Mr. Wilson was fired,

I never saw or heard from him again.

Now, if there's nothing else, I must get back to work.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- You're welcome. - Detective Murdoch,

chatting up young ladies in hotel lobbies.

That young lady is the hotel switchboard operator.

It would appear our victim telephoned the hotel here

last night at eight P.M. desperate

to speak to one of the guests.

Let me guess... It's our political secretary.

I wouldn't trust that man as far as I could throw a feather.

No, the call was to someone else.

Our victim asked to speak with his former boss,

the Honourable Robert Laird Borden.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Please, sir, have a seat.

A nasty business.

I didn't know Mr. Wilson well, but

he seemed a decent fellow.

Even though he was leaking your business to the newspapers?

Even though.

He'd confessed to that and I'd forgiven him.

Besides, what have I to hide?

An affinity for keeping Canada Canadian!

Guilty as charged.

Sir, if I may.

Uh, Mr. Wilson telephoned you the night he was killed.

What did he say?

Only that he had discovered a pressing matter of vital importance

and would I be able to meet with him straight away.

- Meaning last night? - Yes.

He said he was making his way directly

and would call on me at the hotel when he arrived.

- And then what happened? - Then nothing.

He never appeared.

And we awoke to learn the reason why.

How would you describe Mr. Wilson's

state of mind during the call?

I'm not sure. He...

he seemed troubled.

- Did he sound scared? - Yes, somewhat.

Can you imagine why that could be?

Or what he wanted to tell you?

I'm sorry, I confess I cannot.

Mr. Wilson and I had barely spoken prior to that evening.

I never saw him that night and...

I suppose I never will again.

Excuse me, sir.

- Mr. Borden must prepare his speech. - Ah.

Well, sir, it was an honour to make your acquaintance.

Thank you for your time.

Truly, the honour was mine.

A welcome respite from the campaign trail.

Good day, gentlemen.

There you are, Murdoch. A man of character.

We can hardly say we know the man.

But he does not strike me as a vengeful sort.

We'll have to find another rabbit for this particular hunt.

Excuse me, sirs. Miss Cherry has published a new edition.

Thank you.

- (SCOFFS) - _

How can she continue to publish leaked documents

if her source is dead?

Well, let's ask her.

(SIGHING) Why am I here?

Miss Cherry, we need to know

how you obtained your latest exclusive.

And we've already been through this.

I will not divulge my sources.

We know who the source is.

And we've recently found him dead.

Good lord.

- What was his name? - (SCOFFS)

Don't think you can play us for fools, young lady.

No, truly, I never met him.

And yet, you were willing to go to jail

to protect the identity of someone whose identity

you were never actually privy to?

Of course. It's the principle of it.

Information is power, gentlemen.

Just look at what happened to poor Mister...

Miss Cherry, I ask you again...

When did you obtain this latest leak?

Just this morning.

How can that be?

- If your source is dead? - Don't ask me.

I've received a leak almost every day.

Today was no different.

Someone else must be involved.

Maybe that someone is our killer.

Miss Cherry, we need your help.

We need to find out who else may be connected to these leaks.

And what's in it for me?

You'll get to report on the truth.

That is, if the truth still matters to you.

It all started with an anonymous letter.

The source told me he would sell me information

on the Borden campaign.

I was skeptical at first,

but I followed his instructions and was soon rewarded.

Every morning, I'd check to see if a mark was set

on a lamppost outside Scott's Diner.

If the mark was there,

I'd go inside and find documents

on the Borden campaign under my usual seat.

I'd swap the documents for money.

And then leave.

Wiping the mark off the lamppost as I went.

How long did it take for the money to disappear?

I'm not sure, but it was always gone by evening.

I checked myself.

Right.

Let's see if today's payment's been collected.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

And what do you want?

Well, it's no Buckingham Palace, but then...

none of us are princesses, are we?

Smells a little bit like mould.

Which is why I was airing the place out.

I don't mean to offend. I'm just trying to establish

the cause of your tenant's illness.

Like I said, it's nothing to do with me.

I keep things proper.

Do you know where she might have worked?

I can't imagine she did work.

The woman, she rarely left the room.

This trunk came from Trieste.

Same as the woman, I suppose.

No, she hardly spoke a word of English.

I haven't had time to tidy up yet!

Oh, dear God.

What is it?

The woman's missing fingers.

Terrence Meyers.

What is the meaning of this?

All will be revealed, but not just yet

- and never to you. - What? Why?

Because you are a firebrand and a rabble-rouser.

I'll speak to Detective Murdoch alone.

- Come along, Miss Cherry. - What?!

We're leaving.

Would have thought better of you, George.

The public have the right to know what deeds

are being perpetrated in their name!

There's only so much the public can be trusted to know. Am I right?

Have a seat, Murdoch.

You must try this new dish from Calgary.

Ginger beef. It's outstanding.

So, what I'm about to tell you can never leave this restaurant.

I knew who the source of the leak was, of course.

He worked for me until he...

Well, he went soft.

- Went soft? - Uh.

He abandoned Laurier in order to side with Borden.

What a joke that was.

Borden has the charisma of a butter knife.

So, if he was doing all this at your behest,

then why go through all the song and dance

to have Miss Cherry reveal her source?

A standard cutout test.

Stress the loyalty of someone

in a double-blind setup and see how they perform.

Miss Cherry just passed with flying colours.

Mm.

She's a fiery pistol, that one.

Admire her greatly.

My heart belongs to another.

Right.

So you're responsible for all of the Borden leaks.

Why?

The leaks were designed to knock Borden down in the polls.

That man is a monarchist who will work

towards dismantling everything that Laurier has tried

to accomplish in making Canada

an independent voice on the world stage.

And Laurier is aware of what you're doing?

The prime minister is involved with a federal election

as well as trying to launch a Canadian Navy.

He doesn't get down in the dirt with men like us.

I see.

So, sorry my man is dead.

But I didn't kill him.

Even though the last time we met ended in a disagreement.

On account of Mr. Wilson "going soft"?

The man lost his way.

He was talking nonsense about some threat

he had heard against Borden at a...

At an agricultural rally.

Last time I saw him he was getting on a streetcar with that

ridiculous camera of his... Terrible spycraft.

Any idea where he was going?

Headed towards the ward.

That's all I know.

Or all you're prepared to say.

Any change?

Well, she's resting more peacefully, but

she hasn't awoken yet.

Oh. What did you find?

- The woman's missing fingers. - (GASPS)

Mercy! What happened to them?!

It appears to be extreme frostbite.

- Oh! - It would have caused her

enormous discomfort,

perhaps to the point of self-amputation.

Oh. Well, I have heard tales

of Arctic explorers doing the exact same thing.

Well, uh... Toronto may be chilly,

but this is not the High Arctic.

- Thank you, Mrs. Winner. - Sir.

What have you, George? è Ah, a place to look, I believe.

Lead the way.

Sir, as far as keeping secrets from the public,

do you side with Miss Cherry or Agent Meyers?

I suppose there are things the government would prefer to keep secret.

But the government works for the people,

not the other way around.

Should Miss Cherry not have the right to publish

the information she's found?

Not if it was illegally obtained.

Yeah, but then it's the government that decides

what is legal, or illegal.

Seems to me they're making up all the rules.

Yes, but "they" are all of us.

Doesn't seem that way sometimes.

- No, it doesn't. - Ah, in any case, sir,

this is the spot a washerwoman

saw our man take a photograph

down this alley about 8 P.M. last night.

What is it, sir?

George, where is the nearest telephone call box?

Ah, this way.

Mr. Wilson telephoned the hotel the night he was killed

and he sounded afraid.

Perhaps the subject of his photograph spotted him

and gave chase?

And Mr. Wilson's camera was without film.

What is it, sir?

Our victim's missing film.

Sometimes you get lucky, George.

Do you have it?

Bloody hell. It's not Halloween.

They're Guy Fawkes masks.

- Are they holding... - If I'm not mistaken, that is a bomb.

And it's intended for Robert Borden.

Right this way, ma'am.

It shouldn't take too long.

- Mr. Borden is waiting in the hallway. - Good man.

Take him straight out. Crabtree here will provide escort for you both.

Is this disruption really necessary?

If you think this is bad,

imagine what it'll be like if a bomb goes off.

We need access to the hotel's ballroom.

Uh, it's already been secured.

Not by us.

How long will this take?

As long as it takes to guarantee the safety of this nation.

Good?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Julia! She's awake! (GASPS)

Hello.

I'm Dr. Julia Ogden.

You're at the Toronto women's clinic.

How are you feeling?

- Has she spoken? - Not yet.

You were found unconscious in your room.

- Do you remember what happened? - (SIGHING)

Yes. Two of your fingers have been amputated.

Did you do that to yourself?

(GROANS)

(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Huh.

Can't believe they need this many chairs.

You sure it's Borden we're talking about here?

Sounds as though you're worried he might win.

Hardly.

Serve my country, not the man leading it.

Should we check under the stage?

I don't think so.

Take another look at the photograph.

Ah, the clamp.

Huh.

I've never seen one of these attached to a bomb before.

What do you think it's for?

For attaching to a pipe.

(TIMER TICKING)

(CREAKING)

We've found it.

So, yank out the detonator and we'll be done.

It looks somewhat sophisticated.

It could be too risky.

We should disconnect the timing device first.

Well,

you're as timid as a sparrow in a snowstorm, aren't you?

I've done this before, you know.

What? Accidentally detonate a bomb?

Fine.

Have it your way. Play it safe.

But you get no points for style.

Power from the left to the right.

They're both back. Yes.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

- (METALLIC PIECE CLATTERING) - Oh!

(TIMER STOPPING)

Nicely done.

Right.

And now to arrest the man that put it here.

You found the bomb. Bravo.

Yes, we did. Mercifully.

You told us that the ballroom had been secured.

Meaning in the moment.

Of course, people had been in and out.

Yes.

I noticed you wear your watch chain quite high.

- Higher than most. - It's the uniform.

It also happens to match the location of the watch

on the man in this photograph.

I also notice that you have chalk on your sleeve.

Did you happen to come in contact

with a particular lighting pipe inside the ballroom?

Oh!

Believe this is also yours.

You on your way to a costume party, or... ?

You're coming with us, sunshine.

Kill him? Come now,

you've seen the bomb, you found where I put it.

The most that thing would have done is

spoil his speech and rain down some plaster.

For what reason?

Have you heard what Borden plans to do to Canadian agronomy?

American tariffs will kill family farms

and force us all to move to Toronto to work as

ruddy hotel clerks.

Did you attend this agricultural rally?

Yes, sir, I did. Along with many fine people.

And did you encounter Mr. Wilson there?

No, I only knew him from the hotel.

But he saw you.

And he followed you

and took this photograph.

Why the masks?

It's just a bit of fun, isn't it?

"Remember, remember the 5th of November" and all that.

Mr. Wilson learned of your plan

and was going to spoil your fun.

So you killed him.

I had nothing to do with the murder.

Where were you last night between the hours of 9 P.M. and midnight?

I was having a few beers down at the bull with some friends.

So, who is this friend?

She never told me her name.

I met her at the rally.

She said she could assist me with the bomb.

Well, gentlemen,

this job has ridden me roughshod

across a broad swale of human experience.

I've rocketed to the edge of space and been plunged down

to the depths of human betrayal,

each moment soaking themselves into the very canvas of my soul,

and because of that, I can honestly say,

I've never been on a mission as small potatoes as this one.

(CHUCKLING) To small potatoes.

- To small potatoes. - (GLASSES CLINKING)

Gentlemen, this is far from over.

A man is dead and his killer's still at large.

Ah. Would you like me to question Mr. Blake further?

There are ways of making people talk.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR) Good evening, gentlemen.

- Julia. - Ah, William, I'm heading home.

Yes. I'll join you.

Terrence Meyers.

Doctor.

Are those Guy Fawkes costumes?

- I know this building. - You do?

- That's the ward. - Yes.

I have a new patient that lives there.

Unusual case, actually.

She may have severed her own fingers.

- Why would she do that? - I don't know.

She doesn't speak English. I believe she's from Trieste.

Trieste?

What is it?

We've heard rumours of a bomb expert travelling from Trieste,

but we all thought they were headed to America.

- Who is this woman? - I don't know.

The only thing that she said is...

"Oh-geer-kosh" or "or-gee-kosh"?

We must question this woman at once.

"Orgyilkos" is Hungarian and it means "assassin".

I'll see if I can wake her.

Oh, dear God!

Damn. We're too late.

The assassins found her and finished the job.

It is what I feared.

What are you talking about?

Doctor, your patient is from Trieste,

a vital deep-water port for the Austro-Hungarian empire,

an empire that's intent on growing its naval power

at the expense of the British.

You're telling us this is about the bloody Navy?!

The world is engaged in a titanic struggle, Inspector.

The battle to control the high seas

and the rise of the dreadnought.

What does this have to do with Canada?

Laurier wants to create a homegrown Navy

while Borden would send money

directly to England for the purpose.

And the Austro-Hungarians don't want that.

While they have no fear of a Canadian Navy...

A strong British fleet is a threat.

Precisely.

And now that their munitions expert is dead,

the Huns are going to pivot.

- Pivot to what? - Something much more direct.

There's clearly a highly trained foreign assassin

loose in this city, and I predict

that unless we act quickly,

Robert Borden will be killed tonight.

Your Honour, ladies and gentlemen,

I appreciate the opportunity to speak with you this evening.

The people of Toronto share the concerns

- of all Canadians in this... - Excuse me.

- ... upcoming federal election. - Excuse me, sir.

I'm afraid we have to terminate the event.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm afraid the event has to be terminated.

Please make your way to the exits.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

What's happening?

Nothing that should appear in the papers.

How about a little quid pro quo?

If you know something, Miss Cherry?

I saw someone hurry through that door a moment ago.

It looked suspicious.

You owe me!

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(DOOR CLOSING)

(DOOR CLOSING)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Turn around. Show yourself.

Peekaboo.

Laura?

I knew it would be you, Terrence.

It has always been you.

And I'm sorry this also has to be you.

- (GUN COCKING) - (GUNSHOT)

The international assassin is your wife?!

Incredible, isn't it?

You little minx.

The last time we met,

you were named Deborah Anderson.

And you were nosy and in the way.

Some things change, some things stay the same.

I thought you were in prison.

What, did they swap you for McCutchen?

He didn't survive the torture.

They traded me for Hopkins.

Hopkins?

You're worth ten of Hopkins.

Thank you.

It is true.

(CLEARS THROAT)

You wanted to kill Borden,

so you recruited the hotel manager

to do it under false pretenses.

Find a gullible local patsy,

then kill them when it's done to cover your tracks.

It's brilliant.

You also killed Borden's logistics man.

He saw me with the hotel manager and had to die.

And you killed your bomb maker from Trieste.

Hmm... another frayed end that had to be tidied.

And what was tonight's plan?

Tonight's mission was straightforward.

Best ones always are.

I planned to shoot Borden when he left the stage.

But killing him in a crowd would make my escape unlikely.

This time, I would surely hang.

So, I went out on the roof

to take in my last breath of freedom,

to look out over the city.

It's charming.

But it wasn't meant to be.

I was thwarted once again by Canada's most brilliant spy...

And his wide-eyed provincial sidekick.

Excuse me?

Bravo, Terrence.

Bravo.

I am prepared to meet my fate.

Not like my wife to be caught out so easily.

And why not?

We acted with swift precision and were rewarded.

I mean, how many of us have not lost a step or two over the years?

Mind your words, sir. That woman could run circles around any of us.

(PHONE RINGING)

Detective Murdoch.

It's Miss Hart.

Just a moment, Miss Hart.

I am placing our call on my interoffice communication device.

Uh, please go ahead.

While the wound on her neck

was indeed the cause of death...

(FEEDBACK RINGING)

You've found something else?

The internal examination revealed her lungs were damaged

by delayed onset edema.

- An accumulation of fluids. - Yes.

Spectroscopic analysis shows the victim inhaled

a near-fatal dose of phosgene gas.

Good lord.

Although she was murdered,

she likely wouldn't have survived another day.

Well, what happened to her?

Gentlemen, we have been hearing chatter

about the Austrians experimenting with gas warfare.

We had no idea they'd progressed so far.

Our victim must have been working with liquid phosgene,

it must have released in her room,

frozen her fingers and destroyed her lungs.

(SIGHING) Gentleman, if I'm not mistaken,

this bomb wasn't merely meant to explode.

It would have also released phosgene gas.

But we foiled Laura's plan.

Yes, but we arrested her on the roof

right next to all of the ventilation equipment.

Laura Sà♪llne wasn't up there

taking in the view before her arrest.

She was planting a bomb.

It'll gas the whole hotel.

We need to find it quickly.

Murdoch!

I'll let you handle that one.

Thank you.

(TIMER TICKING)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(METALLIC CLINKING)

(TICKING STOPS)

(SIGHING)

Gentlemen. And lady.

Before we toast our success, please indulge me:

Remember, remember, the 5th of November,

this bomb scare shall all be forgot.

But I see no reason, why elections and treason,

should come down to bloody dreadnoughts!

- (LAUGHING) - (ALL): Cheers!

Seeing as my Borden leaks have dried up,

there is still the issue of the outstanding story I'm owed.

Well, don't keep us in suspense.

I can see it now:

"Deadly gas leak threatens prime minister candidate!"

Uh, I'm sorry. You cannot say that.

"Austrian spy stopped in Toronto sky!"

I must insist not. It's a matter of...

National security, yes!

So, what am I allowed to say?!

You've been celebrating.

A little bit. Yeah.

Schade!

How did you figure it out?

It's my usual combination of insight, instinct,

broad luck. (LAUGHING)

Incredible!

You know, I used to wonder if all Canadians were like you,

but now I know.

_

_

Your charm was always so... rakish.

Oh. You find me rakish, huh?

Hmm...

Next month is not just the federal election.

Oh. Liebling!

Our anniversary!

You remembered!

Those 20 glorious years.

How could I forget?

Oh, marmalade.

Surprise!

Knock-out lipstick.

Damn, you're good.

(SIGHING)

I've built up quite a tolerance over the years.

Goodbye, my love.

Auf wiedersehen.

Gentlemen, I feel a fool.

For still chasing after a woman

who only married you so she could spy on the Canadian government?

Thus allowing an international assassin to escape.

(LAUGHING)

Laugh all you want. I will catch her.

- (KNOCKING ON DOOR) - Murdoch.

Ah, gentlemen, please don't stop the fun on my account.

I would not be my mother's son

if I did not make a special stop to thank you personally

for saving myself and everyone at the hotel last night.

Well, that was thanks to Agent Meyers over there

and our very own Detective William Murdoch.

No commendations, no parades.

It was our pleasure to be of service.

I appreciate your expertise and fearlessness

in the face of danger

and I look forward to serving you as your next prime minister.

Well, sir, you have my vote.

He does seem a truly decent fellow.

Ah, maybe so.

But Laurier's been top dog for fifteen years,

and as long as I'm at the wheel,

it'll be Laurier for fifteen more.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR) Morning, sirs.

Have you seen Miss Cherry's newspaper?

"Sentinel editor saves Borden's life."

(CHUCKLING)

"A gas leak at the queen's hotel threatened to end

Robert Borden's campaign but disaster was averted

by the quick thinking and decisive action of your editor,

- Miss Louise Cherry." - (SCOFFS)

Well, that's one way of putting it.

The press is an excellent servant, but a terrible master.

Oh, please, come now, Agent Meyers.

Even you must admit that

democracy can only truly shine under the bright light of a free press.

Prefer to stay in the shadows, thank you very much.

Well, gentlemen, if you'll excuse me,

it would appear that I have a wife to find.
