Original subtitles

Three coppers, all the way from Toronto, coming here just to see that I received

justice. Well, I must be an important man.

This means you're a criminal.

An important criminal.

You were arrested for forging checks.

Poorly, I might add.

It hardly makes you more real. And you're a long way off from Sherlock

Didn't think I'd catch that reference now, did you?

For your information, I'm a learned man, when hardly deserving this kind of

treatment.

If you wish to inflate your importance, be my guest.

Oh, and another question.

All right, but it's your last one.

When will we be eating?

I was enjoying a succulent meal when you arrested me.

Anything for me?

Are you sure?

Are you waiting for me? My third volume of Der Vogelsdorfestra in its original

German.

Nietzsche.

Very good.

I'm not an uncultured man, Watts.

And what have you there?

It's nothing.

Jordan.

Newfoundland.

Will he be getting us some food?

That's what he said.

Do you think he heard me when I said my constitution can't handle bread?

You did remind him of that multiple times. Yeah, but he didn't acknowledge

So maybe, maybe I should go in and check. You should stay exactly where you

Hey, did you say you're going back to Toronto?

Yes. Could I catch a lift?

No, I'm on official business.

What's that got to do with me wanting a ride?

Sir, here's our food bank.

Hold your horses. I'm just packaging it up.

You're not going anywhere.

In fact, none of you are going anywhere.

Come on.

Police.

Whoever you are.

Drop your weapon.

All

right.

I need everybody to stay calm.

Stay away from the windows.

I don't want to hurt anybody, but I will. If anyone does anything, unwind.

Why the hell are there copies out there?

How the hell should I know?

Sorry for the language, mister.

You are aware I'm not from around here?

So what?

So, whatever reason you have for doing this has nothing to do with me. Don't

matter. You're in it now.

Hey, you.

China. You got here less than five minutes ago. What are the cops doing

How would I know?

Sir. What?

My wife's pregnant.

Lucky you.

Just don't do anything to hurt her, please.

Whether she or any of you gets hurt is up to you.

Says the man holding the gun. Yeah, that's right.

Says the man holding the gun.

Where'd the black fella go?

He's getting the local police.

Can't handle it on your own, eh, big city?

No, it's just that the local police might know something about the man in

question. Why am I explaining this to you?

Just stay out of the way and keep quiet.

You think the local police might have it in their hearts to bring us some food?

What are you up to?

I am making cellophane.

I contacted Jacques Brandenberger and he shared his process with me.

I see.

You don't know what it is?

An area of knowledge I appear to lack.

It is a semi -permeable material.

Impermeable to liquid, but not to vapor.

All right.

It seems to me the ideal material in which to collect evidence.

We often collect evidence with blood or other liquids on it. And if we were to

place that in a paper or a cloth bag, important details might otherwise be...

I'd imagine the cellophane would keep a sandwich fresh as well.

Well, I suppose it's possible, but why would one want to?

How can I help you, Watts?

Are we involved in a case with the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary?

Not that I'm aware of. Why?

I saw Constable Crabtree take receipt of an official letter.

Well, I suppose if it's anything of consequence, then George will tell me.

But please put that...

And this just arrived today?

It did.

Out of the blue?

Well, I'd made inquiries.

I see.

Without telling me?

I wanted it to be a surprise.

Well, you certainly accomplished that, George.

When would the position start?

As soon as we could get there.

Wait. We just would both go, of course, Effie.

Newfoundland is the perfect place to raise a family.

And you wouldn't have to... With my new salary, we'd be on easy streets. And you

didn't think to talk to me about any of this.

Marriage is supposed to be a partnership, George.

I know, Effie, but you know I want a family. And you know I don't.

Or at least I thought you did, but now it's becoming very clear to me that you

don't listen to a word I say.

Oh, Effie. George, we will speak about this later.

That is, unless you've already made your decision.

What are you doing?

Just getting my wife some water. Stay back.

Getting some water.

Sit down, sister.

I'm very dear.

I'm just perched.

So with two armed policemen out there and more coming, how do you plan to get

them? How's that your business?

I'm not concerned about my business.

I'm more worried about yours.

Keep your words to yourself, China.

Korea.

What? I'm not Chinese.

I'm Korean. Sure, okay, whatever you like.

Never heard of it. So what's your next move?

Shoot us all? Hey, don't be giving him any ideas.

Jonah Huxley!

Are you in there, Jonah?

You might want to answer the man.

You might want to keep your trap shut.

Don't. Get him angry, all right?

I'd advise you to walk out now before you get yourself in any more trouble

you're already in.

Your boy here was telling me you're commanding officers, and, uh... Yes.

And his name is Constable Edward Roberts.

I prefer Teddy.

I meant no offense.

Boy is what I call Stan here.

All right, Stan.

That's right.

Anyway, you know this man inside?

Jonah Huxton.

Just one in a long line of troublemakers.

What does he want?

I've got six souls here.

You let Cordell out and they all walk away.

You don't?

Who's Cordell?

His brother.

We're holding them in ourselves. He's a murderer.

Three bullets.

What? He's fired three bullets so far. The pistol is his only weapon, and he

didn't bring extra ammunition.

He's only got three more left.

You proficient with that weapon?

Very. Good to know.

I might be calling on you. Stand ready.

Let these people go.

You're ordering me?

It's in your best interest.

You know my best interest?

You're holding a nun and a pregnant woman.

This won't go well for you if either of those two get hurt.

Keep me. Let the others go. I'm worth something. They're not. Hey!

Let him talk.

I'm a police officer.

You. Yes.

Believe it or not, me.

Now I'm just reaching for my badge.

Those men won't let any harm come to me.

Or you.

And I'll do all I can to help you if you let the others go.

You can burn the place down, smoke them out.

That does not seem like a wise idea.

Something's happening.

You tell them to do that.

Some sort of plan? No. My man did not take that shot. How do you know?

Because if he had, you'd be dead.

Well, Korea, we're both getting out of here somehow.

Either alive or dead.

Violet Hart, international woman of mystery.

I think I'm hardly that.

Oh, don't sell yourself short.

You're a success on your own terms.

No responsibilities, no man to weigh you down.

Well, I am engaged.

Yes, but it's you who wears the pants, isn't it?

Nobody tells Violet Hart what to do or who to be.

You've been here quite a while, haven't you? I have. I am your number one

customer of the day.

Where's the music?

The band's night off.

No.

Band's night off.

I came here to dance.

Maybe that's not a good idea right now. That's probably true.

You're smart.

Do you want children?

Not particularly, no.

Neither do I.

Where's the glass?

You need to cheers to that.

Zah.

George wants them.

A whole slew of them.

And you don't. No, no, no, no, no, no.

I abhor the little creatures.

Well, that's not true.

Entirely true. Other people's children are fine.

I just don't want ones of my own.

Is George pressuring you?

Well, yes. He wants to move to Newfoundland and start a family.

Well, what would you do?

Raise a little beast, I suppose.

Could you do that?

Yes.

I love George, so I suppose I...

Have to consider it.

It would make him happy.

And you?

What would it make you?

A dutiful housewife, I suppose.

And is that who you are?

I don't know.

What have you, George?

Oh, nothing, sir. I'm just on my way home for the evening.

Oh. Well, perhaps you'll join me for a spruce beer, then.

Why can't tonight, sir?

Something troubling you, George?

No, sir, not at all.

Are you sure?

Detective Watts mentioned something about you receiving correspondence from

Newfoundland.

I trust all of your aunts are well?

Yes, sir. All hail and hurdy.

That is, if women can be hail and hurdy.

Something else, then?

No, I'm just going home.

To my house.

I'll see you in the morning.

Detective, what?

What brings you here?

We're closing up soon. Not here for libations. I've just added this stop to

rounds. I didn't know detectives did rounds.

This one does. Now, I just want you to know I will do my best to ensure your

establishment has protection.

Thank you.

Now, has there been any trouble recently?

No. But if you're looking for a task, I think Mrs. Crabtree can use an escort.

Bless you.

I think the coppers here would have me starve.

Would you like some, Constable?

Are there turnips in there? Yes.

Perth County's finest.

I can't have turnips. It does my stomach in.

Thank you, ma 'am, but I'd rather not. My wife thinks I'm getting... portly.

Are you sure?

The men inside shouldn't be the only ones with comfort.

I would gladly have his share.

All right, copper.

You say you're some big shot Toronto cop?

You've seen my badge.

All right.

Today's the day you do something for me. And what's that?

Get my brother out of jail.

And if I don't?

Got plenty of bullets left.

For you, for Proctor out there, even for me, if need be.

Jonah Huxley, give yourself up. Go to hell, Proctor.

Speak. I'm Albert Troy, the Toronto Constabulary.

This matter can be resolved if you let us speak with his brother.

If you wanted to talk to him, you should have visited him in the cells.

Sir, I outrank you.

Rank don't mean nothing out here.

I implore you to do as he says.

I will not.

What happened?

The sharpshooter.

You sure lack courage.

I'll pick the shot as soon as it's safe to do so.

Sir, if I may, Inspector Choi must have something up his sleeve. I advise that

you listen to him.

You give me orders?

No, it's just a suggestion, but there may be a way to solve this without

bloodshed.

We have four policemen.

I doubt that his brother's going to give us much trouble.

Chucky, go get Cordell.

Sir? Just do it.

Take this man with you.

I'm ready to leave any time as well.

Constable, I'm ordering you, next time you have a clear shot, take it.

Sir.

Llewellyn?

I thought you might be feeling a little worse for wear.

Oof, and then some.

Why did you take me here?

I was trying to take you home, but you were adamant you didn't want to go

Did I say anything else?

You just kept asking if you were an awful person because you didn't want to

children. Oh.

I gather from your desire to come here instead of home, there's a point of

conflict between you and George?

Ah, one that is coming to a head, I fear.

What is that?

Drink it.

You will thank me later.

George wants to move to Newfoundland.

He wants me to come with him.

I know I should, but...

I don't want to give up what I have here.

And if it meant losing George?

If I went, George wouldn't be getting me. He'd be getting half of me, if that.

So, how long you been at Copper?

Just a couple of months. Still learning the ropes.

And what do you know about all this?

What I know is the Huxleys are a bad batch.

Bootlegging, poaching, nothing but trouble.

And this trouble includes murder?

Six weeks ago, we found a dead man on the outskirts of Huxley property.

He was there to take a shipment of moonshine. At least, that's what we

was doing.

And this Cordell did it?

They found him passed out drunk. The gun that killed Richard Gray after the dead

man was found on Cordell Huxley's purse.

Well, that doesn't mean that he did it.

Of course, he denied it. Well, it's not conclusive evidence.

It's a big fancy worth. They don't mean nothing.

The Huxley family's been a thorn in everyone's side around here for 20

Half of them are in jail.

The other half are on the run.

The only surprise is that murder didn't come sooner.

You say your brother was in it.

I don't say. I know.

Then how is this helping him?

Because they're going to send him to prison.

Or the noose. And I'm going to stop that from happening.

Can you see him?

I can.

Take the shot.

Not with my inspector in there.

I thought you said you were good.

I am good.

That's why I'm not taking the shot. Too much chance of a ricochet.

Sounds like the man knows what he's doing.

Keep your mouth closed, you.

Everything all right?

I just feel tired.

I can't do many sleepless nights anymore.

If your brother is innocent, then let the corpse decide.

Not gonna happen.

I'm collecting my brother and getting out of here.

To live life as a fugitive. Better that than living life as a man who let his

brother die for something he didn't do.

I could look into the matter.

Proctor out there already decided my brother did it.

He's in tight with the judge, so that's pretty much a done deal.

You looking into this won't make a damn bit of difference.

I could... Hey, you don't run this.

I do.

All I want is a chance for me and my brother to get out of here.

That happens.

No one gets hurt.

Where are you taking me?

Just shut your trap, Huxley.

I'm just Gorm.

Constable Henry Higgins Newsome, Colonel Constable... I don't care who you are.

Just make sure I don't end up dead before going to the courthouse.

That won't happen.

Yeah, you don't know the police around here, do you?

I was just testing if the practical application meant the theoretical.

Hmm.

Seems to have passed the test.

I wouldn't be surprised if this had a commercial application.

Have you seen George about this morning?

No, he was in and out before I could even say hello.

Oh.

Strange. It appears he and Effie are having difficulties.

Oh, that would explain things.

I'm sure they'll work it out. Not so sure about that.

She doesn't want to move to Newfoundland.

What?

Apparently Constable Crabtree intends to move to Newfoundland.

He didn't tell you that?

No.

No, he didn't.

If they do bring your brother, what are you going to do?

Get him, take you with me, and get the hell out of here.

What exactly has he accused them?

They say he killed a man named Gray.

He didn't.

Gray was a friend of ours.

Cordell never would have done that.

Then fight him. In a court of law, not here.

They hold all the cards.

Look, I'm not saying we're angels.

He's still a bit of shine. Tell it to those wanting it.

And this Gray was one of those wanting it? No, he was our partner.

Ran the booze to neighboring counties.

They found him dead, with all the booze gone.

No reason for Cordell to have done that, no reason at all. So who would have had

a reason?

All I'm saying, local police knew all about our operation.

So you're blaming the man out there.

Are you sure I can't get you something?

A young man like you needs to eat.

I'm sure, ma 'am. I'd gladly take his share.

Sometimes, sir.

That man in there, I think he is a good man.

That may be, but he is holding my boss hostile.

Perhaps he feels he has no choice.

That he and his family have been unjustly accused just because of who

Have you ever felt that, Constable?

Sure have, but I never took a part.

That's so.

So what is it you're doing now?

It's not the same thing.

No, no, of course not. Sister, I insist you leave this man alone. Let him do his

job. Certainly.

I've left some food on the wagon for you.

Oh, thank you.

When's this fella's brother gonna arrive?

I'd like to see this matter resolved.

Stop complaining. At least you're getting a free meal.

$67.

And 45 cents.

That's all your back pay.

Don't spend it all at once.

It's a tremendous opportunity, Craftery.

Although, I'll be sad to see you go.

Thank you, sir.

You could always come out for a visit.

Come kiss the card.

I doubt very much I'll be doing that.

Is Effie excited about the moon?

She'll come around.

So she's not?

You know what they say, Crabtree?

Happy wife, happy life.

She's not keen on the idea of children, sir.

And it's important to me.

You might want to think about a bird in the hand.

Do you have children?

Three that I know of.

But John's in America touring around the country with a bunch of itinerant

actors. Normie's in Chicago doing God knows what.

And Bobby's about to get out of jail any time soon.

Well, that's good news.

Is it?

Once he gets out of jail, he's off to join the church.

And I have no idea what to say to him.

The thing is, Crappy, once children get older, they just live on in your

memories.

Well, maybe I want to have a chance at those memories.

Despite what your wife thinks.

Surely she'll come around. What woman doesn't want to have children?

Well, there's quite a few these days.

And it may be just your misfortune to have found one.

What does Murdoch think about you becoming an inspector before him?

Sir, honestly, I haven't even told him yet.

I just don't know how to broach it.

He's always been your biggest champion.

No matter what nonsense you spell.

Sir, I know. I feel terrible, but whenever I...

Hard to think of what to say. The words just don't come.

It's always a surprise who it's hardest saying goodbye to.

It certainly seems that way.

Wait then.

Where are you off to?

I was thinking I would go walk my old beat.

Just one line at a time.

Oi, Buggler.

It's been a pleasure, George.

The pleasure was all mine, Tommy.

Boy, legs.

Do you not remember what I told you last time?

Yeah, no playing in the street.

So why are you? It's the best place to play.

Yes, I suppose it is.

Give me the ball.

No.

Mr. Crabtree, give it here.

Oi, lads, you two, get over here.

Get over here. Now we've got enough for a proper game.

Pull you on to.

You're with me.

Here we are.

Good stuff, lads.

There you go. Not bad, not bad.

Now,

lads, look.

When you're making a pass, don't use your toe.

Use your side of your foot. Like this.

There you go. There you go. That's it.

Now don't let him get you.

Oh, look out!

Oh,

look out! Put some mustard on it, Lance.

Good stuff, Lance.

Yes, good job.

It looks to me like they're not bringing your brother.

The best thing you can do right now is to give yourself... You are not in a

position to give me advice.

Time to let Proctor know I'm serious.

You shoot me, and both you and your brother will feed the news.

If that's the way it's going to be, that's the way it's going to be.

We always were a close family.

Get up.

I've told you, when you get the shot... Yes, take the shot. I heard.

Good.

Where the hell is my brother?

He'll be here any minute.

Drop your weapon. I will not.

There he is now.

Go. Let Inspector Choi go.

Drop your weapon.

My apologies, Constable.

You're no longer in charge.

If you'd just eaten, you could have saved yourself from all of this.

My stew would have put you out of commission.

Are they dead?

Hardly. They'll just be sleeping for a few more hours.

Come on, let go.

Cordell, get over here.

You too, over there.

Go on.

You're just making things worse for yourself.

I'll keep that in mind.

I can't believe a woman of the cloth.

Sorry to disappoint, but... Elizabeth Grey is far from that.

Grey?

You have something to do with the man Cordell is accused of killing? He was my

brother. And I know that what they say would never have happened in a million

years. What are you suggesting?

Cordell could never have shot my brother.

Then take it up in a court of law.

Considering all that's happened today, I think it's a little late for that.

So he's really going, then.

I found his resignation papers.

Put a good word in with the Newfoundlanders as well.

Well. Good for George.

He certainly deserves it.

He would never have got there without your guidance and tutelage.

I'm sure he'll tell you all this in person. So mum's the word, all right?

You didn't hear any of this from me.

Where's Troy?

No, he, Henry, and Roberts went to Perth County to pick up a prisoner.

And it took three men to do that.

Who were they after?

Jack the Ripper?

I think Inspector Troy just wanted a ride in the country.

Our families are friends of long standing.

We never would have turned on each other.

What happened?

I don't know.

I had a shipment of alcohol. I was waiting for Richard to arrive.

Next thing I knew, I was laying in the dirt with a gun in my hand.

And Richard was dead beside me.

Be telling the truth.

How would you know that?

Because I was there.

You were there?

I came with Richard to do the pickup.

And you saw everything?

Not enough.

I was looking. I was waiting for Richard on the main road.

I saw a truck drive by.

And who was driving it?

I didn't get a good look.

But I know whoever was driving that truck shot my brother.

Two days later, Proctor showed up at my door.

I told him I didn't do nothing.

He didn't listen.

And this alcohol?

Gone. With whoever shot Richard, I'd say I... All right, enough.

You couldn't convince Proctor, so there's no point in talking anymore.

You're making a mistake.

Hey, I spared your life. I spared all your lives.

We just want to leave.

You, get over here.

You heard the lady.

Move.

We have to leave.

A moment.

Take off your helmet.

What's going on? It's all right, Proctor. I said take off your helmet.

It was you.

What are you talking about?

It was you. You were there that night. You shall return. You knew about this?

No.

Oh, my word, no.

What?

Stop! Constable Robert.

Here, give me that.

Before you say anything, just let me say this.

If you want me to stay, I'll stay.

That so?

Yes.

All right, stay.

And never bring up the idea of children again.

Is that what you wanted to hear?

No, but I don't want to lose you either.

I saw you in the street today, George.

I can't bear the idea of leaving you longing for something that I am never

to give to you.

What if you change your mind? Then that will be my loss, not yours.

Divorce papers.

Think it best.

Don't you?

I've drawn them up, but you need to be the one to initiate them.

I see.

So that's it.

This is the last day of our acquaintance.

back to the most romantic place in the world.

The place I worked down hard to get.

I know you did, F. I do know that. George, I don't expect you to

I really don't.

But I need this.

A job, a career, a sense of purpose.

Try as I may, I just don't think that being a mother could ever do that for

How can you know? How can you know unless you try?

It's not something you just try, George. I know.

Just sign the papers so you can get what you want.

Please.

File these with the judge.

Well, you best get on with finding a new wife.

And not getting any younger.

Don't be saucy.

We had some incredible times, didn't we?

Time won't undo those, George.

No one will ever replace you.

What if... What if we're making a mistake?

Then I suppose I've thrown down diamonds in the sand.

Something precious that will never be returned.

You've got a train to catch.

Promise me one thing.

Of course.

When the time is right.

Bring your family to come and see me

He only joined a couple of months ago.

He's the first man I've hired in years.

He likely knew about Huxley's operation before you brought him on.

So, what do you do with those three?

What do you suggest?

Well, they more than likely saved the brother's life.

And it all rhymes a major thing.

There'll be a time, but I'll talk to the judge.

Constable.

I was fine shooting.

Just needed the right target.

What happened?

Duke!

Oh, Henry, for Pete's sake, there's no need of that. I'm not dying, man.

You're going to Newfoundland, George. It might as well be the end of the Earth.

It's home.

Also the only place you'd ever get a promotion.

Oh, don't be cheeky. Look, Henry, seriously, I need you to check in on

from time to time for me.

Of course.

Big trouble, George Crabtree.

Sir?

Sir?

Weren't going to say goodbye, George.

I tried, sir. I just... I couldn't think of the words.

I was going to write you once I collected my thoughts.

Is this what you want, George?

It is.

And Matthew?

She's not coming with me, sir.

The only life I could offer her was one she didn't want.

We've agreed to part.

I'm sorry.

I am as well, sir, but perhaps this gives us both a chance to find what we

want, a chance at true happiness.

So you are going home, then?

I am.

And you're to be assistant to the chief inspector?

Assistant chief inspector.

There's a difference. I made sure they were clear about that. I wouldn't go all

the way out there to become some sort of secretary.

Of course not.

I suppose you outrank me now.

Well, in a way, I suppose.

But you're a long ways from my jurisdiction, so I wouldn't worry.

A lot of water under the bridge.

Many miles traveled.

In and out of our fair share of scrapes.

Is this right for you, George?

As you said, I'm going home.

So I believe it is.

Take care, sir.

William. I don't think I'll ever be comfortable with that.

Maybe one day.

I'll await it.

You know, sir.

If I hadn't worked with you on all these cases over all these years, I'd never

be considered for this position.

So maybe the right words are just, thank you.

It's been my honor.
