2
00:00:49,166 --> 00:00:51,902
I bagged that one in darkest Africa.
3
00:00:51,936 --> 00:00:54,504
A handsome beast. Ferocious, I'd wager.
4
00:00:54,538 --> 00:00:58,474
Africa? I thought tigers
were native to India.
5
00:00:58,509 --> 00:01:01,777
You could be right, my dear. Africa, India,
6
00:01:01,812 --> 00:01:04,213
it is terribly hard to tell them apart.
7
00:01:04,247 --> 00:01:07,249
Now this beggar is a
different story altogether.
8
00:01:07,283 --> 00:01:10,251
He was two hundred yards
away if he was an inch.
9
00:01:15,958 --> 00:01:18,393
Remind me again as to why we are here.
10
00:01:18,427 --> 00:01:20,862
- The guest speaker.
- Who is?
11
00:01:20,897 --> 00:01:24,332
That's the exciting part. It's a surprise.
12
00:01:26,635 --> 00:01:28,736
Thank you.
13
00:01:33,008 --> 00:01:34,975
I do appreciate this, Clarence.
14
00:01:35,010 --> 00:01:36,977
- Appreciate what?
- Your sponsorship.
15
00:01:37,012 --> 00:01:39,279
Oh, not a bother.
16
00:01:39,313 --> 00:01:42,149
This club could use a few
men of your forthrightness.
17
00:01:42,183 --> 00:01:45,351
We're all getting a bit
stodgy in our old age.
18
00:01:45,385 --> 00:01:47,887
Well, I want you to know
19
00:01:47,922 --> 00:01:49,923
that we're both delighted.
20
00:01:49,957 --> 00:01:53,392
When will Thomas know
if he's been accepted?
21
00:01:53,427 --> 00:01:55,394
If my husband sponsored you,
22
00:01:55,429 --> 00:01:58,097
- acceptance is a mere formality.
- Oh!
23
00:01:58,131 --> 00:02:00,666
Well, Clarence,
24
00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:03,001
do you intend on letting
the cat out of the bag?
25
00:02:03,036 --> 00:02:04,970
Whatever do you mean, Dick?
26
00:02:05,004 --> 00:02:07,005
When are you going to tell us
who is regaling us this evening?
27
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,007
You'll find out soon enough.
28
00:02:09,042 --> 00:02:11,176
Young Benson is fetching him now.
29
00:02:11,210 --> 00:02:13,745
Look at Margaret. She looks like the cat
30
00:02:13,780 --> 00:02:16,782
- who ate the canary.
- It's not everyone
31
00:02:16,816 --> 00:02:21,018
who gets asked to be a
member of the Empire Club.
32
00:02:21,053 --> 00:02:23,554
Why would the Inspector
want to associate with them?
33
00:02:23,589 --> 00:02:25,590
Perhaps it's to keep
34
00:02:25,624 --> 00:02:29,060
the canary eater happy?
35
00:02:29,094 --> 00:02:31,495
Esteemed Members and Honoured Guests.
36
00:02:31,529 --> 00:02:34,598
It is my pleasure to announce
that our speaker will be here
37
00:02:34,632 --> 00:02:36,933
in a matter of moments. So,
38
00:02:36,968 --> 00:02:39,803
if you could all take your places.
39
00:02:47,645 --> 00:02:51,014
Enough foolishness, Clarence. I insist
40
00:02:51,048 --> 00:02:54,149
- you tell us whom we are here to hear.
- All right. All right.
41
00:02:54,183 --> 00:02:57,052
Let me say that I have brought,
42
00:02:57,087 --> 00:02:59,054
at great personal expense,
43
00:02:59,089 --> 00:03:02,758
a most wonderful speaker
to start the series.
44
00:03:02,792 --> 00:03:05,460
He is an acclaimed humourist
45
00:03:05,495 --> 00:03:07,896
and world renowned travel diarist.
46
00:03:07,931 --> 00:03:10,498
None other than...
47
00:03:10,532 --> 00:03:13,267
Mark Twain.
48
00:03:14,369 --> 00:03:16,570
- Mark Twain!
- Mark Twain?
49
00:03:16,605 --> 00:03:19,540
- Have you gotten your marbles mixed?
- This is outrageous!
50
00:03:19,574 --> 00:03:21,670
Mark Twain. In our club? Over my dead body.
51
00:03:21,671 --> 00:03:22,941
Bugger this. I'm leaving.
52
00:03:22,945 --> 00:03:25,179
You intercept that scoundrel.
53
00:03:25,213 --> 00:03:29,116
- You make sure he doesn't set a foot in here.
- Yes, sir.
54
00:03:31,819 --> 00:03:34,420
I'm guessing this is not
the surprise they expected.
55
00:03:34,455 --> 00:03:37,124
- Thomas. What is going on?
- I don't know.
56
00:03:37,158 --> 00:03:40,927
- This is horrible. He was your sponsor.
- Murdoch,
57
00:03:40,962 --> 00:03:43,896
- what's this all about?
- I...
58
00:03:46,399 --> 00:03:49,601
Ladies and gentlemen,
59
00:03:49,636 --> 00:03:51,603
Mark Twain.
60
00:03:56,943 --> 00:03:59,078
Go back to America, Twain.
61
00:03:59,112 --> 00:04:00,179
You don't belong here.
62
00:04:01,213 --> 00:04:03,670
- Thank you.
- For king and country!
63
00:04:03,671 --> 00:04:04,971
You don't belong here!
64
00:04:05,084 --> 00:04:06,785
Ladies and gentlemen, what a pleasure
65
00:04:06,819 --> 00:04:08,920
it is to be a guest
66
00:04:08,954 --> 00:04:10,922
in your esteemed city.
67
00:04:12,624 --> 00:04:13,445
Is anyone hurt?
68
00:04:13,446 --> 00:04:14,846
- Thomas!
- Margaret, stay close.
69
00:04:15,995 --> 00:04:18,628
Mr. Twain. Are you all right?
70
00:04:18,663 --> 00:04:21,565
I believe I will need another drink.
71
00:04:21,599 --> 00:04:23,934
- Splendid idea.
- Oh, Thomas.
72
00:04:31,652 --> 00:04:34,121
.44 calibre.
73
00:04:34,155 --> 00:04:37,090
Please thank Doctor Ogden
for escorting Margaret home.
74
00:04:37,124 --> 00:04:40,693
Yes, of course. Sir, did
you hear anything of note?
75
00:04:40,727 --> 00:04:42,962
No one appears to have seen anything.
76
00:04:42,996 --> 00:04:45,798
- And you believe them?
- No reason not to. We didn't.
77
00:04:45,832 --> 00:04:48,501
- Right.
- May I escort Mr. Twain
78
00:04:48,535 --> 00:04:50,836
- back to his hotel?
- Wursley, please escort
79
00:04:50,870 --> 00:04:53,339
the two gentlemen back to their hotel.
80
00:04:53,574 --> 00:04:55,673
Mr. Twain, welcome to Canada.
81
00:04:55,708 --> 00:04:59,578
Well, it was a robust one.
82
00:04:59,612 --> 00:05:03,515
Yes. I'll be needing to ask you
further questions in the morning.
83
00:05:03,549 --> 00:05:07,384
- Yes. Of course.
- Had you taken leave of your senses?
84
00:05:07,419 --> 00:05:10,855
He is the author of Tom
Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn,
85
00:05:10,889 --> 00:05:13,857
- I didn't expect...
- Mr. Twain is also the vice-president
86
00:05:13,891 --> 00:05:17,428
of the Anti-Imperialist League
and a critic of His Majesty.
87
00:05:17,462 --> 00:05:19,070
Why in God's name did you book him?
88
00:05:19,075 --> 00:05:21,450
I may not have researched him thoroughly.
89
00:05:21,799 --> 00:05:23,167
You, sir,
90
00:05:23,201 --> 00:05:26,370
are the master of understatement.
91
00:05:26,404 --> 00:05:27,790
- Mr. Wilson.
- Yes.
92
00:05:27,791 --> 00:05:29,071
Detective William Murdoch,
93
00:05:29,072 --> 00:05:31,274
Toronto Constabulary.
94
00:05:31,308 --> 00:05:34,410
I would like a list of all of your
members that were present this evening.
95
00:05:34,445 --> 00:05:37,247
You surely don't think one of us...
96
00:05:37,281 --> 00:05:40,283
At the moment, no one is above suspicion.
97
00:05:40,317 --> 00:05:43,786
I trust you will be discrete about this.
98
00:05:43,820 --> 00:05:45,887
Of course we will, sir.
99
00:05:45,921 --> 00:05:48,890
I'll procure you the list.
100
00:05:48,924 --> 00:05:50,892
Chin up, Thomas.
101
00:05:50,926 --> 00:05:53,629
I don't think this will change anything.
102
00:06:06,581 --> 00:06:09,550
Mr. Fanshaw, why did you
object to Mr. Twain's presence?
103
00:06:09,584 --> 00:06:13,587
The man is a bounder. Pure and simple.
104
00:06:13,622 --> 00:06:16,657
- Could you expand on that?
- Do you know what he says about our way of life?
105
00:06:16,691 --> 00:06:19,526
He calls it the most grotesque swindle
106
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,594
ever perpetrated by man.
107
00:06:21,629 --> 00:06:25,465
He all but proclaims
our beloved King a Devil.
108
00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:27,300
So he deserves to be shot?
109
00:06:27,335 --> 00:06:30,237
I heard you were an
ex-military man, as am I.
110
00:06:30,271 --> 00:06:33,306
What do you think?
111
00:06:33,341 --> 00:06:37,676
- Uh, well, uh...
- Mr. Fanshaw. Members of the club
112
00:06:37,710 --> 00:06:41,080
- have stated that you carry a weapon.
- I do. What of it?
113
00:06:41,114 --> 00:06:43,082
May we see it?
114
00:06:43,116 --> 00:06:45,084
It's in my locker at the club.
115
00:06:45,118 --> 00:06:47,819
You are more than welcome to examine it.
116
00:06:47,854 --> 00:06:51,357
But I did not shoot at the man. In fact,
117
00:06:51,391 --> 00:06:55,093
I wasn't even in the room when the
scoundrel was shot at. I was at the bar,
118
00:06:55,127 --> 00:06:57,862
trying to gather my composure.
119
00:06:57,896 --> 00:07:00,865
Norman will vouch for me. Gentlemen.
120
00:07:04,570 --> 00:07:07,672
I suppose she forgot the date.
121
00:07:07,706 --> 00:07:11,175
- What are you on about, Henry?
- Mary Lawrence.
122
00:07:11,209 --> 00:07:13,390
She was to accompany me to
the musical theatre last night.
123
00:07:13,391 --> 00:07:14,391
What have you got there?
124
00:07:15,513 --> 00:07:17,614
Oh, I had them made after my promotion.
125
00:07:17,648 --> 00:07:20,684
- When you were in jail.
- Right. Subtle.
126
00:07:20,718 --> 00:07:22,652
Anyhow,
127
00:07:22,687 --> 00:07:25,389
I went to collect her last night, and her
flatmate said she'd left for the evening.
128
00:07:25,423 --> 00:07:29,024
- Mary Lawrence, this is the one with the sick mother?
- She's always sick!
129
00:07:29,059 --> 00:07:31,627
Every time I call on her,
her mother's on her deathbed.
130
00:07:31,661 --> 00:07:34,230
I suggested perhaps she should retire
131
00:07:34,264 --> 00:07:36,232
to the country; perhaps
the clean air would sort...
132
00:07:36,266 --> 00:07:38,367
Mark Twain.
133
00:07:38,402 --> 00:07:41,304
- Excuse me?
- Thomas Jefferson Snodgrass.
134
00:07:41,338 --> 00:07:45,240
W. Epaminondas Adrastus
Blab. Sergeant Fathom.
135
00:07:45,274 --> 00:07:47,242
Samuel Langhorne Clemens.
136
00:07:47,276 --> 00:07:49,244
Mark Twain!
137
00:07:49,278 --> 00:07:51,879
Mr. Twain. It's an honour to meet you.
138
00:07:51,914 --> 00:07:53,881
The honour is both yours and mine.
139
00:07:53,916 --> 00:07:55,917
Oh, there's no need to
say that. George Crabtree,
140
00:07:55,951 --> 00:07:58,853
Constable Third Class.
I used to be First Class,
141
00:07:58,887 --> 00:08:01,823
Constable First Class, but I
made a rather unfortunate choice
142
00:08:01,857 --> 00:08:05,692
which led to a series of blunders
from which I... I'm prattling.
143
00:08:05,727 --> 00:08:07,995
You're here to see some of
the Detective's inventions,
144
00:08:08,029 --> 00:08:09,997
- I'll wager.
- No, no, no.
145
00:08:10,031 --> 00:08:11,999
Somebody shot at me yesterday.
146
00:08:12,033 --> 00:08:14,535
Well, it's a good thing
they missed, I should say.
147
00:08:14,569 --> 00:08:16,670
Mr. Twain.
148
00:08:16,704 --> 00:08:18,938
Thank you for coming in. George,
149
00:08:18,972 --> 00:08:20,727
Henry, I need you to go to the Empire Club
150
00:08:20,728 --> 00:08:22,425
and search Richard Fanshaw's locker.
151
00:08:22,576 --> 00:08:24,368
- Sir.
- What are we looking for, sir?
152
00:08:24,369 --> 00:08:25,169
A gun.
153
00:08:25,246 --> 00:08:27,747
Preferably one that's been recently fired.
154
00:08:29,150 --> 00:08:31,684
- Right this way.
- Good day to you, Mr. Twain.
155
00:08:31,718 --> 00:08:35,621
- Good to meet you, son.
- Henry,
156
00:08:35,655 --> 00:08:38,190
we've just met one of the greatest
writers the world has ever seen.
157
00:08:38,224 --> 00:08:40,792
George, do you think it might be possible
158
00:08:40,826 --> 00:08:43,662
that Miss Lawrence is
purposely avoiding me?
159
00:08:48,301 --> 00:08:50,369
Mr. Twain,
160
00:08:50,403 --> 00:08:52,470
given your political leanings,
161
00:08:52,504 --> 00:08:55,540
did you not consider that your speaking
162
00:08:55,574 --> 00:08:58,176
at the Empire Club could be seen
163
00:08:58,210 --> 00:09:01,312
as a... a provocative act?
164
00:09:01,346 --> 00:09:04,048
Are you saying that whoever
shot at me had the right to?
165
00:09:04,082 --> 00:09:06,116
- Of course not.
- I must say
166
00:09:06,151 --> 00:09:09,952
- I was surprised that the organization booked me.
- As was I.
167
00:09:09,987 --> 00:09:13,122
Seeing you describe the
monarchy as slave owners
168
00:09:13,157 --> 00:09:15,225
who attained wealth by stealing it.
169
00:09:15,259 --> 00:09:17,227
Close,
170
00:09:17,261 --> 00:09:19,962
but what I actually said was:
171
00:09:19,997 --> 00:09:23,032
"I believe
172
00:09:23,067 --> 00:09:26,435
I should really see the
end of what is surely
173
00:09:26,469 --> 00:09:29,471
the grotesquest of all swindles
174
00:09:29,506 --> 00:09:32,641
ever invented by man,
175
00:09:32,676 --> 00:09:34,543
the monarchy."
176
00:09:35,945 --> 00:09:37,979
You don't agree?
177
00:09:38,014 --> 00:09:40,916
We are ruled by Britain.
178
00:09:40,950 --> 00:09:43,085
Your comments may be viewed
179
00:09:43,119 --> 00:09:45,953
- by some as offensive.
- Well,
180
00:09:45,987 --> 00:09:48,456
if it makes you feel any better,
181
00:09:48,490 --> 00:09:52,760
I don't think of my own
government as different.
182
00:09:52,794 --> 00:09:56,964
I am an anti-Imperialist, and as such,
183
00:09:56,998 --> 00:09:59,701
I am opposed to having
the eagle put its talons
184
00:09:59,735 --> 00:10:01,935
on any other land.
185
00:10:01,969 --> 00:10:06,005
So you're unpopular both home and abroad.
186
00:10:09,677 --> 00:10:13,046
You think it's possible someone
followed you here to Toronto?
187
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,449
It's possible.
188
00:10:15,483 --> 00:10:17,117
Given my points of view,
189
00:10:17,151 --> 00:10:19,184
it's somewhat of a surprise
190
00:10:19,219 --> 00:10:22,288
that someone hasn't shot at me before.
191
00:10:22,322 --> 00:10:26,259
And to what do I owe the pleasure?
192
00:10:26,293 --> 00:10:30,028
- I've been reviewing your application for membership.
- And?
193
00:10:30,063 --> 00:10:33,198
- You are a strong candidate.
- Thank you.
194
00:10:33,233 --> 00:10:38,570
I've canceled Mr. Twain's
engagement at our club.
195
00:10:38,604 --> 00:10:41,139
Considering the circumstances,
that's a wise move.
196
00:10:41,173 --> 00:10:43,475
I would dearly love
197
00:10:43,509 --> 00:10:46,411
to see that man ridden
out of town on a rail.
198
00:10:46,445 --> 00:10:49,648
These self-proclaimed
champions of the people
199
00:10:49,682 --> 00:10:53,216
- are nothing but a menace.
- Well, I don't exactly have the authority.
200
00:10:53,251 --> 00:10:55,486
You're a police inspector, sir.
201
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,489
What more authority do
you need? A Royal Warrant?
202
00:10:58,523 --> 00:11:01,124
The membership review committee
203
00:11:01,159 --> 00:11:03,527
meets in a few days.
204
00:11:03,561 --> 00:11:05,362
Good day.
205
00:11:08,299 --> 00:11:11,467
You would think Miss Lawrence
would be interested, you know,
206
00:11:11,502 --> 00:11:13,770
me being a Constable First Class and all.
207
00:11:13,804 --> 00:11:15,772
You'd think.
208
00:11:15,806 --> 00:11:18,508
I'll admit it is nice to have a
few extra dollars in the pay packet.
209
00:11:23,314 --> 00:11:27,382
Trumpers and Truefitt, George!
210
00:11:27,417 --> 00:11:30,952
- Rose Mouthwash! The Royal Family uses this.
- Henry!
211
00:11:37,593 --> 00:11:39,461
Nothing.
212
00:11:39,495 --> 00:11:42,596
Excuse me, George?
213
00:11:42,631 --> 00:11:46,300
Forget it. Let's go check
out behind the club, Henry.
214
00:11:46,335 --> 00:11:48,536
And put that back.
215
00:11:59,747 --> 00:12:02,215
Margaret, what are you doing here?
216
00:12:02,249 --> 00:12:05,452
Oh, I'm just so excited, Thomas.
Have you heard any news yet?
217
00:12:05,486 --> 00:12:08,955
- No.
- Oh. But I just saw Mr. Wilson leave.
218
00:12:08,989 --> 00:12:10,990
Have you been spying on me, woman?
219
00:12:11,024 --> 00:12:13,660
I just happened to see him
leave as I was arriving.
220
00:12:13,694 --> 00:12:15,795
Oh, I don't mean to pry, Thomas,
221
00:12:15,830 --> 00:12:17,796
I'm just a-twitter about the possibility.
222
00:12:17,831 --> 00:12:21,633
Margaret Brackenreid, married
to a member of the Empire Club.
223
00:12:21,668 --> 00:12:24,336
That would certainly shut Verna up.
224
00:12:24,371 --> 00:12:26,338
Why are you so worried about bloody Verna?
225
00:12:26,373 --> 00:12:28,440
Oh, it's just her and her gazebo.
226
00:12:28,475 --> 00:12:30,409
If I hear another word...
227
00:12:30,443 --> 00:12:32,082
I don't know why you
insist on trying to keep up
228
00:12:32,083 --> 00:12:33,995
with Verna bloody Jones. Now come on.
229
00:12:34,079 --> 00:12:36,080
Oh, Thomas.
230
00:12:39,518 --> 00:12:42,119
It is foul back here.
231
00:12:42,153 --> 00:12:46,056
I didn't notice, Henry,
all I can smell is you.
232
00:12:46,091 --> 00:12:49,861
Perhaps you can continue here, and
I'll check the locker rooms again.
233
00:12:49,895 --> 00:12:53,363
You go ahead and do that, Henry.
234
00:12:53,398 --> 00:12:56,867
I'll go ahead and bring in the evidence.
235
00:12:56,901 --> 00:12:58,835
I'll take that.
236
00:13:08,318 --> 00:13:10,686
I was a riverboat captain for two years,
237
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,055
until the War of the States broke out.
238
00:13:14,090 --> 00:13:17,526
- That's when I took my pen name.
- Do tell.
239
00:13:17,560 --> 00:13:19,695
Mark Twain.
240
00:13:20,729 --> 00:13:24,324
Means twelve foot of water, safe for sail.
241
00:13:24,325 --> 00:13:26,267
Seemed an appropriate moniker
242
00:13:26,301 --> 00:13:29,704
to launch my literary adventuring.
243
00:13:29,738 --> 00:13:32,506
Yeah.
244
00:13:32,541 --> 00:13:35,209
After that it was Virginia City
245
00:13:35,244 --> 00:13:38,279
- and the silver rush.
- William went to the Klondike.
246
00:13:39,113 --> 00:13:41,415
The gold rush.
247
00:13:41,449 --> 00:13:42,991
- Indeed.
- Make any money?
248
00:13:42,992 --> 00:13:44,392
Can't say I did.
249
00:13:44,618 --> 00:13:47,753
Neither did I.
250
00:13:47,787 --> 00:13:50,122
Unfortunately the story of my life lately.
251
00:13:50,157 --> 00:13:53,659
That Constable Crabtree says
you're something of a tinkerer.
252
00:13:53,693 --> 00:13:55,661
Oh, he's more than that.
253
00:13:55,695 --> 00:13:58,830
William is an inventor. I daresay
if he ever left the police force,
254
00:13:58,865 --> 00:14:00,966
he'd give Mr. Tesla a run for his money.
255
00:14:01,220 --> 00:14:03,188
Julia, I hardly think that...
256
00:14:03,222 --> 00:14:05,290
Inventions...
257
00:14:05,324 --> 00:14:08,026
I put all my money
258
00:14:08,060 --> 00:14:10,661
into a brand new printing press,
259
00:14:10,696 --> 00:14:13,398
the Paige Compositor.
260
00:14:13,432 --> 00:14:16,133
Left me destitute.
261
00:14:16,167 --> 00:14:19,269
Hence the dog and pony
show I am currently on.
262
00:14:19,304 --> 00:14:22,306
I've got hundreds of creditors on my back.
263
00:14:24,542 --> 00:14:26,910
Are any of those creditors from Toronto?
264
00:14:26,944 --> 00:14:29,413
Well, poss...
265
00:14:32,517 --> 00:14:34,484
You don't think...
266
00:14:34,518 --> 00:14:37,887
Two main motives for murder, Mr. Twain:
267
00:14:37,921 --> 00:14:40,456
love and money.
268
00:14:49,966 --> 00:14:52,534
Anything of interest?
269
00:14:52,568 --> 00:14:55,837
Henry's found the weapon.
It's been recently fired
270
00:14:55,871 --> 00:14:58,240
and it matches the calibre
of the bullets we retrieved.
271
00:14:58,274 --> 00:15:00,242
- Is it Fanshaw's?
- It is.
272
00:15:00,276 --> 00:15:02,677
But his alibi still holds up.
273
00:15:02,711 --> 00:15:05,780
So anyone could have used it.
274
00:15:05,814 --> 00:15:09,016
Do you know if Mr. Twain is
planning on leaving town soon?
275
00:15:09,051 --> 00:15:12,186
I... I don't think so.
276
00:15:12,220 --> 00:15:14,288
It would be in his best
interests if he did.
277
00:15:14,322 --> 00:15:16,524
Perhaps you could persuade him.
278
00:15:16,558 --> 00:15:18,526
May I ask why?
279
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,162
The Empire Club would like him gone.
280
00:15:21,196 --> 00:15:23,564
They've made that quite clear to me.
281
00:15:23,598 --> 00:15:25,965
And you would like to
secure your membership.
282
00:15:25,999 --> 00:15:28,668
Hear me out, Murdoch. Just hear me out.
283
00:15:28,702 --> 00:15:31,003
I give my wife more grief than good.
284
00:15:31,038 --> 00:15:34,374
She would dearly love a taste of high
society and I'd like to give her it.
285
00:15:36,377 --> 00:15:38,344
I'll tell Mr. Twain
286
00:15:38,379 --> 00:15:40,380
that our investigation can proceed
287
00:15:40,414 --> 00:15:43,549
- without him.
- Thank you, Murdoch.
288
00:15:47,573 --> 00:15:50,775
You two are lucky people.
289
00:15:50,810 --> 00:15:55,381
- What makes you say that?
- You seem to be in a relationship of equals.
290
00:15:55,415 --> 00:15:58,916
My wife Livy has been by
my side my entire life.
291
00:15:58,950 --> 00:16:02,153
- A true partner.
- I've heard of her by reputation.
292
00:16:02,187 --> 00:16:05,789
She's dying now. Been dying
since my daughter died.
293
00:16:05,824 --> 00:16:08,926
- Mr. Twain, I'm so sorry.
- And we are broke.
294
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,497
Due in no small part to reckless ways.
295
00:16:12,531 --> 00:16:15,565
That Empire job would have paid well.
296
00:16:15,599 --> 00:16:17,567
There must be people who want to hear you.
297
00:16:17,601 --> 00:16:21,204
Well, I did secure an engagement
in Albany, but the job pays nothing.
298
00:16:21,239 --> 00:16:23,206
Mr. Twain, I have a proposition.
299
00:16:23,241 --> 00:16:25,308
I'd like to pay you
for a series of lectures
300
00:16:25,343 --> 00:16:27,544
to the Dominion Woman's
Enfranchisement Association.
301
00:16:27,578 --> 00:16:29,679
I hear you're a supporter.
302
00:16:29,713 --> 00:16:32,814
Yes, I am.
303
00:16:32,849 --> 00:16:37,286
Julia, the last time Mr. Twain tried
to take the podium, he was shot at.
304
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,523
- It's not wise.
- So you would rather he run and hide
305
00:16:40,557 --> 00:16:42,624
than exercise his right to free speech?
306
00:16:42,659 --> 00:16:45,094
Of course not. I am merely suggesting
307
00:16:45,128 --> 00:16:48,764
that Toronto may not be the most
hospitable venue for his views.
308
00:16:48,798 --> 00:16:50,798
Then what better place to express them?
309
00:16:50,832 --> 00:16:55,136
I doubt there's a more useless endeavour
than preaching to the already converted.
310
00:16:55,171 --> 00:16:56,704
Your wife?
311
00:16:56,738 --> 00:17:00,475
She's hired him for a series
of speaking engagements.
312
00:17:00,509 --> 00:17:02,910
The man is desperate for money.
313
00:17:02,945 --> 00:17:04,946
So he's staying then?
314
00:17:06,948 --> 00:17:10,584
For the foreseeable future, yes.
315
00:17:10,618 --> 00:17:12,886
Bollocks.
316
00:17:17,892 --> 00:17:20,594
And that's all of them?
317
00:17:20,628 --> 00:17:23,063
All I can recall.
318
00:17:24,831 --> 00:17:27,400
These people who invested in your schemes
319
00:17:27,434 --> 00:17:29,835
did so of their own free will?
320
00:17:29,869 --> 00:17:33,172
I have surprising powers of persuasion.
321
00:17:33,207 --> 00:17:36,675
Mr. Twain,
322
00:17:36,710 --> 00:17:40,212
do you really need to
speak at this engagement?
323
00:17:44,417 --> 00:17:46,384
My wife is dying.
324
00:17:46,419 --> 00:17:51,389
I have squandered her fortune and mine.
325
00:17:51,424 --> 00:17:55,393
I need to offer her some comfort
326
00:17:55,428 --> 00:17:57,761
after all she has done for me.
327
00:17:57,795 --> 00:18:00,264
So, yes,
328
00:18:00,298 --> 00:18:04,801
I need to speak at this engagement.
329
00:18:08,373 --> 00:18:10,741
I'll look into this.
330
00:18:10,775 --> 00:18:12,876
I'll be right back.
331
00:18:15,212 --> 00:18:18,615
Gentlemen. I'd like you to find
out the whereabouts of these men
332
00:18:18,649 --> 00:18:21,717
the night that Mr. Twain
was intended to speak. Sir.
333
00:18:21,752 --> 00:18:23,853
- Thank you.
- I'll take Mr. Bertrand,
334
00:18:23,887 --> 00:18:26,556
Mr. Potts, and Mr. Hendrickson.
335
00:18:26,590 --> 00:18:30,193
Let me have a look at that, George.
I am Constable First Class now.
336
00:18:30,227 --> 00:18:33,928
Right you are, Henry. I apologize.
337
00:18:33,963 --> 00:18:36,765
I will get
338
00:18:36,799 --> 00:18:38,767
the others.
339
00:18:38,801 --> 00:18:41,436
You can have Hendrickson.
340
00:18:41,471 --> 00:18:44,806
- He lives almost ten miles out of town.
- Oh, I'm aware of that.
341
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,309
- Then why would you volunteer?
- Because he lives right next
342
00:18:47,343 --> 00:18:49,544
to Mrs. Hampshire's Finishing School.
343
00:18:49,578 --> 00:18:50,565
Mary Lawrence went there.
344
00:18:50,566 --> 00:18:52,306
- Did she?
- For a time.
345
00:18:52,914 --> 00:18:56,817
- She left, she said the women there were of easy virtue.
- Oh, indeed,
346
00:18:56,851 --> 00:18:58,653
and if I recall correctly,
today is laundry day.
347
00:18:58,687 --> 00:19:01,289
I remember once, Jackson
and I had to reprimand
348
00:19:01,323 --> 00:19:03,957
a couple of them for wandering
around in their unmentionables.
349
00:19:03,992 --> 00:19:05,125
- Did you?
- Yes.
350
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:06,439
And they were from France.
351
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,540
The unmentionables. Parisian undergarments.
352
00:19:09,697 --> 00:19:13,433
Well, allow me to save you the trip.
353
00:19:16,704 --> 00:19:20,039
I could use a brisk bicycle ride.
354
00:19:23,009 --> 00:19:25,177
It's a shame
355
00:19:25,212 --> 00:19:27,846
you don't have a fence that needs painting.
356
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,517
- That was last summer, sir.
- Mr. Twain.
357
00:19:31,551 --> 00:19:33,652
Could I have a word?
358
00:19:36,055 --> 00:19:39,591
So this is where you do the King's bidding?
359
00:19:39,625 --> 00:19:41,593
I simply enforce the Criminal Code.
360
00:19:41,627 --> 00:19:44,295
I apologize.
361
00:19:44,330 --> 00:19:47,562
I was trying for humour. I
fail as much as I succeed.
362
00:19:47,799 --> 00:19:49,821
You've ruffled a few feathers.
363
00:19:49,968 --> 00:19:53,238
- Beg your pardon?
- I said, you've ruffled a few feathers.
364
00:19:53,272 --> 00:19:56,840
- I suppose I have.
- And you've put your own life at risk.
365
00:19:56,874 --> 00:19:59,309
Perhaps it would be for the
best if you were to leave town.
366
00:20:01,312 --> 00:20:04,481
I speak out against injustice.
367
00:20:04,516 --> 00:20:07,384
No matter what side of the border.
368
00:20:07,419 --> 00:20:09,786
Imperialism, British or American,
369
00:20:09,820 --> 00:20:12,356
is a scourge on this earth.
370
00:20:12,390 --> 00:20:14,424
It is our duty to civilize these people.
371
00:20:14,458 --> 00:20:17,360
Oof...
372
00:20:19,996 --> 00:20:23,332
Your "White Man's
Burden" is an insult, sir.
373
00:20:23,367 --> 00:20:27,103
What right do we have to impose
our way of life on other people?
374
00:20:27,137 --> 00:20:30,105
America lied to the Filipino people.
375
00:20:30,139 --> 00:20:32,974
Promised them liberation,
delivered tyranny.
376
00:20:33,008 --> 00:20:34,876
You sound like a traitor, sir.
377
00:20:34,910 --> 00:20:38,846
No. I simply protest
378
00:20:38,881 --> 00:20:41,483
when the "powers that
be" do something wrong.
379
00:20:41,517 --> 00:20:44,986
I doubt there is anything
traitorous about that.
380
00:20:45,020 --> 00:20:47,488
- And you feel you have the right.
- Of course I have the right.
381
00:20:47,522 --> 00:20:50,657
You have the right, I have the
right. We are free men, sir.
382
00:20:50,692 --> 00:20:53,627
You live in a new country.
383
00:20:53,661 --> 00:20:56,297
One that could chart its own course.
384
00:20:56,331 --> 00:20:59,133
Why would you willfully labour
385
00:20:59,167 --> 00:21:01,135
under the yoke of scoundrels?
386
00:21:01,169 --> 00:21:03,737
My King is a scoundrel?
387
00:21:03,771 --> 00:21:06,639
All Kings are scoundrels.
388
00:21:06,673 --> 00:21:10,210
Mr. Brackenreid, you seem like a good man.
389
00:21:10,244 --> 00:21:12,945
You don't deserve to have a master.
390
00:21:15,583 --> 00:21:18,851
- Why am I in here?
- Mr. Hendrickson,
391
00:21:18,885 --> 00:21:20,853
the Constable who spoke with you
392
00:21:20,887 --> 00:21:23,589
said you became agitated at the mention
393
00:21:23,623 --> 00:21:27,092
of Mark Twain. As such,
I'd like a few words.
394
00:21:27,127 --> 00:21:29,094
If you want to know my personal feelings
395
00:21:29,129 --> 00:21:31,163
toward Mr. Twain,
396
00:21:31,197 --> 00:21:33,698
I can be most clear. I hate the man.
397
00:21:33,733 --> 00:21:35,667
Enough to kill?
398
00:21:35,701 --> 00:21:38,503
If I could do it without
consequence, certainly.
399
00:21:38,537 --> 00:21:42,273
The man lied to me, took every penny I had.
400
00:21:42,307 --> 00:21:45,576
I may have been a fool, but he was a thief.
401
00:21:45,611 --> 00:21:47,645
Yes. Mr. Twain convinced you to invest
402
00:21:47,679 --> 00:21:49,780
in the Paige Compositor.
403
00:21:49,814 --> 00:21:52,116
It was going to change the world.
404
00:21:52,151 --> 00:21:55,085
Revolutionize the printing process.
405
00:21:55,120 --> 00:21:57,287
It was a sure thing, he said.
406
00:21:57,321 --> 00:21:59,322
The only sure thing about it was penury.
407
00:22:01,825 --> 00:22:04,594
I have to ask:
408
00:22:04,629 --> 00:22:06,729
do you know what this is?
409
00:22:08,732 --> 00:22:10,567
That's a Webley and Scott. Military Issue.
410
00:22:10,601 --> 00:22:13,636
But it certainly isn't mine.
411
00:22:13,670 --> 00:22:17,105
It looks like Fanshaw's.
412
00:22:17,140 --> 00:22:19,775
You knew he kept it at the club, yes?
413
00:22:19,809 --> 00:22:22,344
He usually pulled it out when regaling us
414
00:22:22,379 --> 00:22:25,013
with stories of the
Battle of Rorke's Drift.
415
00:22:25,048 --> 00:22:27,583
Zulus to the left of us,
Zulus to the right of us.
416
00:22:27,617 --> 00:22:29,584
That sort of thing.
417
00:22:29,618 --> 00:22:32,153
But I was nowhere near the Club that night.
418
00:22:32,188 --> 00:22:34,155
The Club?
419
00:22:34,190 --> 00:22:36,057
That's where the shooting was.
420
00:22:36,091 --> 00:22:38,059
How do you know that?
421
00:22:38,093 --> 00:22:39,827
The newspapers.
422
00:22:39,861 --> 00:22:42,830
The shooting was never
reported to the press.
423
00:22:42,864 --> 00:22:45,400
And certainly wasn't made public.
424
00:22:45,434 --> 00:22:48,268
Club President Wendel
Wilson made sure of that.
425
00:22:48,303 --> 00:22:51,838
Then I must have heard it
from one of the members.
426
00:22:55,543 --> 00:22:59,045
I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask
you to stay here, Mr. Hendrickson.
427
00:23:07,454 --> 00:23:11,591
- Mark Twain?
- He's supported suffrage for years.
428
00:23:11,625 --> 00:23:14,760
- Oh, so an intelligent man.
- Yes.
429
00:23:14,794 --> 00:23:16,762
Will you still be here to see him?
430
00:23:16,796 --> 00:23:20,099
- I don't leave for a week yet.
- I envy you.
431
00:23:20,133 --> 00:23:23,401
London is going to be such an adventure.
432
00:23:23,436 --> 00:23:26,104
Won't it?
433
00:23:26,138 --> 00:23:28,806
I... I just wonder, sometimes,
434
00:23:28,841 --> 00:23:31,243
why I just grasp at the next new thing.
435
00:23:31,277 --> 00:23:34,112
- Shouldn't I have a plan?
- You're young.
436
00:23:34,146 --> 00:23:36,147
Plans are for the old.
437
00:23:36,181 --> 00:23:39,983
That's why I've never made any.
438
00:23:40,017 --> 00:23:43,086
Now, Mr. Wilson, have you
ever seen this man before?
439
00:23:43,121 --> 00:23:45,989
Of course. That's Randolf
Hendrickson. A member.
440
00:23:46,023 --> 00:23:48,125
Seriously in arrears.
441
00:23:48,159 --> 00:23:52,229
I see. Was he at the club
the night of the shooting?
442
00:23:52,264 --> 00:23:55,965
I'm not sure. But he was
there earlier in the day.
443
00:23:55,999 --> 00:23:59,034
Clearing out his locker, I believe.
444
00:24:01,037 --> 00:24:03,740
Thank you.
445
00:24:03,774 --> 00:24:05,742
I'll need you to sign a statement
446
00:24:05,776 --> 00:24:08,611
- confirming what you've just told me.
- Of course.
447
00:24:08,646 --> 00:24:11,747
- Murdoch, we have a problem.
- What is it, sir?
448
00:24:11,781 --> 00:24:14,249
There's been a shooting
at Mr. Twain's hotel room.
449
00:24:25,185 --> 00:24:27,521
I opened the door. The man started firing.
450
00:24:27,555 --> 00:24:29,956
Can you describe him?
451
00:24:29,990 --> 00:24:32,659
I didn't have my glasses,
it all happened so quickly.
452
00:24:32,693 --> 00:24:35,694
And I was going to give chase, but
I saw young Benson on the floor.
453
00:24:35,729 --> 00:24:37,496
Did you see anything?
454
00:24:37,531 --> 00:24:39,498
All I saw was the gun.
455
00:24:39,533 --> 00:24:42,167
Are you all right?
456
00:24:42,201 --> 00:24:45,037
I stumbled when I tried
to get out of the way.
457
00:24:47,073 --> 00:24:49,942
Both Mr. Hendrickson and
Mr. Wilson were with me
458
00:24:49,976 --> 00:24:52,811
at the moment the shots were fired.
459
00:24:52,845 --> 00:24:55,713
Despite Wilson's objections, somebody
could have been acting on their behalf.
460
00:24:55,748 --> 00:24:57,715
Bugalugs does have a point.
461
00:24:57,750 --> 00:25:01,319
And besides, Hendrickson did
lie about being at the club.
462
00:25:01,353 --> 00:25:04,589
- What about Fanshaw?
- I checked his alibi.
463
00:25:04,623 --> 00:25:07,525
It still holds up.
464
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,260
George, have you questioned Mr. Potts?
465
00:25:10,294 --> 00:25:12,429
- No, sir.
- Please do.
466
00:25:12,464 --> 00:25:14,865
And also question any
remaining folks who may have
467
00:25:14,899 --> 00:25:17,568
invested in schemes at Mr. Twain's behest.
468
00:25:17,602 --> 00:25:19,870
Sir, shouldn't we still
be looking into the Club?
469
00:25:19,904 --> 00:25:22,072
I mean, it seems the most likely place.
470
00:25:22,106 --> 00:25:25,943
No, I intend to. Henry, I'd
like you to apply for membership
471
00:25:25,977 --> 00:25:29,679
at the Empire Club. Sir! George,
472
00:25:29,713 --> 00:25:31,246
Henry's worked hard on this case.
473
00:25:31,281 --> 00:25:33,935
He brought in Mr.
Hendrickson. He found the gun.
474
00:25:34,451 --> 00:25:37,720
Besides, have you taken
a whiff of him lately?
475
00:25:37,754 --> 00:25:40,990
He smells like a bloody toff.
476
00:25:43,426 --> 00:25:46,528
Henry James of James,
James, Jarvis and James.
477
00:25:46,562 --> 00:25:48,530
Ahh. And your uncle
478
00:25:48,564 --> 00:25:50,532
is a member of the Royal Victorian Order?
479
00:25:50,566 --> 00:25:54,068
Indeed. Uncle Clive served
Her Majesty until her death.
480
00:25:56,071 --> 00:25:59,340
- And you're recently emigrated?
- Scant months ago, yes.
481
00:25:59,375 --> 00:26:02,576
- Homesick?
- Oh, I shall adjust,
482
00:26:02,611 --> 00:26:04,778
but I do sometimes think that the only soil
483
00:26:04,813 --> 00:26:07,314
worth standing on is British soil.
484
00:26:07,348 --> 00:26:09,116
I concur.
485
00:26:09,150 --> 00:26:11,719
But you'll soon see this
place as British soil.
486
00:26:11,753 --> 00:26:14,488
It does seem a most genteel environment.
487
00:26:14,523 --> 00:26:16,991
Take a look around, ask some questions.
488
00:26:17,025 --> 00:26:19,893
I believe some of our younger
members may be around today.
489
00:26:19,927 --> 00:26:22,595
Thank you, sir.
490
00:26:33,874 --> 00:26:37,108
It's a grand country, really. Once
you get used to the bloody winters.
491
00:26:37,143 --> 00:26:40,779
- And the colonials.
- That takes some doing.
492
00:26:40,813 --> 00:26:43,314
I hear you had a rather infamous
one of them in here recently.
493
00:26:43,349 --> 00:26:45,316
A Mr. Twain.
494
00:26:45,351 --> 00:26:47,786
That was Clarence Eldridge's doing.
495
00:26:47,820 --> 00:26:49,788
The old man's dotty.
496
00:26:49,822 --> 00:26:52,456
Didn't even know who he was.
497
00:26:52,490 --> 00:26:54,992
But Mr. Wilson had that
scoundrel out the door
498
00:26:55,027 --> 00:26:57,528
- with hardly a fare thee well.
- And lucky for him.
499
00:26:57,563 --> 00:27:00,831
I would have loved to introduce
him to a proper pair of dukes.
500
00:27:05,236 --> 00:27:08,372
Yes. I heard through the grapevine
501
00:27:08,406 --> 00:27:10,874
that shots may have been fired.
502
00:27:10,908 --> 00:27:13,342
No one was hurt.
503
00:27:13,377 --> 00:27:17,614
Still, I imagine it would have
made for a riotous evening.
504
00:27:17,648 --> 00:27:20,617
You've heard Mr. Twain
is speaking this evening.
505
00:27:20,651 --> 00:27:22,852
- Here?
- Here?
506
00:27:22,887 --> 00:27:26,689
A speech about allowing
women the right to vote?
507
00:27:26,723 --> 00:27:29,524
Mr. Wilson says that speech will occur
508
00:27:29,559 --> 00:27:32,327
over his dead body.
509
00:27:32,361 --> 00:27:35,330
His or Mr. Twain's.
510
00:27:41,237 --> 00:27:43,936
Really, they seem nothing
more than a bunch of blowhards
511
00:27:43,937 --> 00:27:45,037
with an appetite for port, sir.
512
00:27:45,107 --> 00:27:48,542
Although I did hear that some
members of the Empire Club
513
00:27:48,577 --> 00:27:51,079
- plan to disrupt Mr. Twain's speech.
- Oh?
514
00:27:51,113 --> 00:27:54,548
So, sir, I thought maybe I should go back,
515
00:27:54,583 --> 00:27:57,518
investigate further, as it were.
516
00:27:57,552 --> 00:28:00,386
Get back in uniform, Henry.
517
00:28:00,421 --> 00:28:02,889
Sir.
518
00:28:02,924 --> 00:28:05,659
I could get used to this.
519
00:28:05,693 --> 00:28:07,661
Good for you, Henry.
520
00:28:07,695 --> 00:28:09,663
Miss Lawrence is excited about the news
521
00:28:09,697 --> 00:28:12,465
- that I am soon to be a member of the Empire Club.
- Is that right?
522
00:28:12,500 --> 00:28:14,610
I assume her mother's health
has taken a turn for the better.
523
00:28:14,611 --> 00:28:15,611
It has indeed.
524
00:28:16,237 --> 00:28:19,404
Did you question the rest of the investors
525
00:28:19,439 --> 00:28:21,741
- as the Detective asked?
- Yes, I did.
526
00:28:21,775 --> 00:28:24,176
In fact, here are my notes.
527
00:28:24,210 --> 00:28:26,245
Why don't you take
credit for those as well?
528
00:28:28,381 --> 00:28:31,884
Whatever do you mean, George?
529
00:28:55,439 --> 00:28:57,574
I would rather this didn't proceed.
530
00:28:57,608 --> 00:29:00,878
William, you sound like a
phonograph that's become stuck.
531
00:29:00,912 --> 00:29:03,547
Julia,
532
00:29:03,581 --> 00:29:05,325
I don't want you on the stage with him.
533
00:29:05,517 --> 00:29:09,085
- William, I'm going to be on stage.
- Doctor Ogden,
534
00:29:09,119 --> 00:29:11,087
I agree with the Detective. Keep in mind,
535
00:29:11,121 --> 00:29:13,723
whoever's gunning for Mr. Twain
does not seem to be a very good shot.
536
00:29:13,757 --> 00:29:17,493
Thank you very much, George.
537
00:29:17,527 --> 00:29:19,933
You realize the Empire Club
has half of the city up in arms.
538
00:29:19,934 --> 00:29:20,734
What a surprise.
539
00:29:20,798 --> 00:29:23,725
Any time anyone in Toronto
suggests anything progressive,
540
00:29:23,726 --> 00:29:25,026
half the city is up in arms!
541
00:29:28,838 --> 00:29:30,692
I'm just not sure it is necessary to have
542
00:29:30,693 --> 00:29:32,493
a man advocating for our cause.
543
00:29:32,575 --> 00:29:35,577
- You are a sour one.
- I am not.
544
00:29:35,611 --> 00:29:38,213
I just believe we women are more
than capable of stating our own case.
545
00:29:38,247 --> 00:29:41,416
We can state it all we want, but it
makes no matter if no one is listening.
546
00:29:41,450 --> 00:29:44,118
- I suppose so...
- Did you just agree with me?
547
00:29:44,152 --> 00:29:46,921
- I suppose I did.
- We are making progress.
548
00:29:46,955 --> 00:29:49,456
What is happening here? Excuse me.
549
00:29:51,526 --> 00:29:52,749
Let us pass.
550
00:29:52,750 --> 00:29:53,750
- Go home.
- No,
551
00:29:53,829 --> 00:29:57,765
- we shall not. Now let us pass.
- There will be no lecture tonight, I'm afraid.
552
00:29:57,799 --> 00:29:59,999
Move out of our way, sir.
Or I shall be forced to...
553
00:30:00,034 --> 00:30:02,102
Hit me with your handbag?
554
00:30:02,136 --> 00:30:04,604
- Give it your best.
- Stand aside, Mr. Wilson.
555
00:30:04,638 --> 00:30:06,439
Look at this rabble.
556
00:30:06,473 --> 00:30:08,674
Send them home.
557
00:30:08,709 --> 00:30:11,211
Did you not hear me?
558
00:30:11,245 --> 00:30:13,780
Send them home and call off this lecture.
559
00:30:13,814 --> 00:30:15,781
Move out of our way.
560
00:30:15,815 --> 00:30:18,683
- Oi, watch it!
- Do I need remind you what's at stake here?
561
00:30:18,718 --> 00:30:21,954
No, you don't. Now please clear
out of the way, Mr. Wilson.
562
00:30:21,988 --> 00:30:23,833
If you and your friends
want to attend the event,
563
00:30:23,834 --> 00:30:25,174
buy a ticket like the rest of them.
564
00:30:25,658 --> 00:30:29,327
- If not, stop being a nuisance.
- You're not calling off this lecture?
565
00:30:29,362 --> 00:30:32,064
You got wax in your ears? Move along,
566
00:30:32,098 --> 00:30:35,800
- otherwise you'll be spending a night in my cells.
- You, sir,
567
00:30:35,834 --> 00:30:38,335
have just made yourself
a very dangerous enemy.
568
00:30:38,370 --> 00:30:41,338
Oh, I've made worse.
569
00:30:41,373 --> 00:30:43,674
I hope you realize
570
00:30:43,708 --> 00:30:46,644
I am formally rescinding my sponsorship.
571
00:30:46,678 --> 00:30:50,413
Oh, move along, Eldridge, you old codger!
572
00:30:50,447 --> 00:30:52,415
Ladies...
573
00:30:52,449 --> 00:30:55,085
- Inspector.
- Thank you.
574
00:30:59,356 --> 00:31:01,357
Wow...
575
00:31:03,261 --> 00:31:05,662
Mr. Twain,
576
00:31:05,696 --> 00:31:07,177
perhaps this wasn't a good idea.
577
00:31:07,178 --> 00:31:09,078
Perhaps I should tell
them that you've taken ill.
578
00:31:09,166 --> 00:31:11,267
I can't do that.
579
00:31:11,301 --> 00:31:13,068
Look at that crowd.
580
00:31:13,103 --> 00:31:15,271
William has often accused
me of being impulsive.
581
00:31:15,305 --> 00:31:18,107
Perhaps he's right.
582
00:31:18,141 --> 00:31:20,009
Are you ready, Mr. Twain?
583
00:31:20,043 --> 00:31:22,544
I certainly am.
584
00:31:25,547 --> 00:31:28,416
Keep your eyes open, George.
585
00:31:28,450 --> 00:31:31,719
Ladies and gentlemen, it is my great honour
586
00:31:31,753 --> 00:31:35,556
to introduce to you one of
America's finest men of letters.
587
00:31:35,590 --> 00:31:37,591
The author of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,
588
00:31:37,626 --> 00:31:39,828
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,
589
00:31:39,862 --> 00:31:43,096
and countless essays, both
literary and scholarly.
590
00:31:43,131 --> 00:31:44,764
Please welcome
591
00:31:44,799 --> 00:31:48,101
Mr. Mark Twain.
592
00:31:50,404 --> 00:31:54,074
Thank you, ladies. And gentlemen.
593
00:31:54,108 --> 00:31:56,543
Your welcome
594
00:31:56,577 --> 00:31:58,711
is a lot warmer than the
one I received earlier.
595
00:31:58,745 --> 00:32:01,247
And a lot less dangerous.
596
00:32:03,317 --> 00:32:07,619
You know, when you have
lived as long as I have,
597
00:32:07,654 --> 00:32:09,822
you have the right to change your mind.
598
00:32:09,857 --> 00:32:12,624
And that's what I'm
going to do here tonight.
599
00:32:12,659 --> 00:32:15,493
I'm gonna change the minds of those of you
600
00:32:15,527 --> 00:32:19,497
who believe that women should
not have the right to vote.
601
00:32:22,301 --> 00:32:25,770
Let me read you something.
602
00:32:29,041 --> 00:32:31,376
"I never want to see
603
00:32:31,410 --> 00:32:33,677
the women voting, and gabbling
604
00:32:33,711 --> 00:32:35,946
about politics, and electioneering.
605
00:32:35,981 --> 00:32:38,515
There is something revolting
606
00:32:38,549 --> 00:32:41,252
in the thought.
607
00:32:41,286 --> 00:32:43,254
Let your natural bosses
608
00:32:43,288 --> 00:32:45,589
do the voting."
609
00:32:45,623 --> 00:32:49,125
Those were my words.
610
00:32:49,159 --> 00:32:52,128
That's what I believed,
611
00:32:52,162 --> 00:32:54,730
until I met my wife, Olivia Langdon.
612
00:32:56,867 --> 00:32:59,302
After that meeting,
613
00:32:59,336 --> 00:33:01,938
I came to believe that a woman
614
00:33:01,972 --> 00:33:04,040
is always right.
615
00:33:06,142 --> 00:33:08,810
And I became a woman's rights man!
616
00:33:08,844 --> 00:33:11,746
You know, if women held the right to vote,
617
00:33:11,781 --> 00:33:17,585
the world would not be
in the state it's in.
618
00:33:20,323 --> 00:33:23,357
I am prepared to speak
619
00:33:23,392 --> 00:33:26,794
until I have convinced
every single one of you.
620
00:33:26,828 --> 00:33:30,398
Mr. Benson, would you? My mother...
621
00:33:31,468 --> 00:33:32,468
George. Upstairs!
622
00:33:34,001 --> 00:33:35,002
Bloody Hell.
623
00:33:45,417 --> 00:33:47,410
I'll get him to the morgue, Julia.
624
00:33:47,411 --> 00:33:48,411
Let the detective know
625
00:33:48,453 --> 00:33:51,154
- my report will be on his desk.
- Thank you, Emily.
626
00:33:53,541 --> 00:33:55,509
Are you all right, Mr. Twain?
627
00:33:55,543 --> 00:33:59,012
- The fault is all mine.
- No, the blame can be shared
628
00:33:59,046 --> 00:34:01,181
equally. I should never
have suggested this.
629
00:34:01,215 --> 00:34:04,284
If they hadn't attempted it here, they
would have attempted it somewhere else.
630
00:34:04,318 --> 00:34:06,319
We'll find out who did this, Mr. Twain.
631
00:34:06,353 --> 00:34:09,101
Some of the members from the Empire
Club were outside the building.
632
00:34:09,102 --> 00:34:11,508
One of those buggers will
be responsible for this.
633
00:34:11,509 --> 00:34:12,509
Sir.
634
00:34:12,593 --> 00:34:15,361
Shall I escort Mr. Twain back to his hotel?
635
00:34:15,396 --> 00:34:18,698
Yes, please, George. And stand
guard for the night. Be vigilant.
636
00:34:18,732 --> 00:34:21,032
Sir. Mr. Twain.
637
00:34:34,246 --> 00:34:38,081
- The fatal shot came from up here.
- It was an easy shot.
638
00:34:38,116 --> 00:34:41,084
Would've been like
shooting fish in a barrel.
639
00:34:41,119 --> 00:34:43,954
He should have succeeded this time.
640
00:34:43,988 --> 00:34:46,990
Yes. He should have.
641
00:34:54,465 --> 00:34:57,400
I am prepared...
642
00:34:57,435 --> 00:35:00,870
to convince every single one of you.
643
00:35:00,904 --> 00:35:03,406
He should never have missed.
644
00:35:10,247 --> 00:35:13,114
Sir.
645
00:35:13,149 --> 00:35:16,719
What if Mr. Twain was
never the intended target?
646
00:35:16,753 --> 00:35:18,920
The young lad. Benson.
647
00:35:18,955 --> 00:35:21,056
He appears to be the only
one unfortunate enough
648
00:35:21,090 --> 00:35:24,226
to have been struck by a bullet.
649
00:35:24,260 --> 00:35:28,028
Mr. Twain, why was Mr.
Benson in your employ?
650
00:35:28,063 --> 00:35:30,030
How do you mean?
651
00:35:30,065 --> 00:35:32,967
Well, he was an employee
at the Empire Club.
652
00:35:33,001 --> 00:35:36,270
He left that position to work with me.
653
00:35:36,304 --> 00:35:39,674
Forgive me for asking, but
you mentioned you were broke.
654
00:35:39,708 --> 00:35:41,676
How could you afford to pay him?
655
00:35:41,710 --> 00:35:44,678
He agreed to work on commission.
656
00:35:44,712 --> 00:35:46,780
He would find me speaking engagements
657
00:35:46,814 --> 00:35:50,016
- and take a percentage.
- Why would he leave a job
658
00:35:50,050 --> 00:35:52,986
at one of the finest clubs in the
city and give up a regular paycheque?
659
00:35:53,020 --> 00:35:55,622
He would have made more with me.
660
00:35:55,656 --> 00:35:58,658
He had already found
me several engagements.
661
00:35:58,693 --> 00:36:02,428
We were to go to St. Louis
662
00:36:02,462 --> 00:36:04,997
after the speech tonight.
663
00:36:05,031 --> 00:36:08,233
That boy was a smooth operator.
664
00:36:08,268 --> 00:36:10,636
You had conversations with him.
665
00:36:10,670 --> 00:36:13,171
Did he have any enemies?
666
00:36:13,206 --> 00:36:16,809
The only thing he ever
said to me was that his time
667
00:36:16,843 --> 00:36:19,944
with the Empire Club was short-lived.
668
00:36:19,978 --> 00:36:23,347
- That it was time for him to move on.
- Why?
669
00:36:23,382 --> 00:36:25,717
I don't know.
670
00:36:25,751 --> 00:36:28,219
I'm sorry.
671
00:36:28,253 --> 00:36:31,523
Perhaps another visit to
the Empire Club is in order.
672
00:36:31,557 --> 00:36:35,859
Then maybe we should send
in our own smooth operator.
673
00:36:35,894 --> 00:36:39,296
You'll need to find out everything you can
674
00:36:39,330 --> 00:36:41,899
- about Mr. Benson.
- Yes, sir.
675
00:36:41,933 --> 00:36:45,235
Um, what would you like to know exactly?
676
00:36:45,269 --> 00:36:48,004
How about if anyone there would
have been inclined to murder him.
677
00:36:48,139 --> 00:36:50,206
Oh, of course, sir.
678
00:36:50,241 --> 00:36:54,109
Um, I was wondering if I
shouldn't bring a female companion?
679
00:36:54,143 --> 00:36:57,347
- It could provide an excellent cover...
- It's a men's club!
680
00:36:57,881 --> 00:36:59,882
Quite right.
681
00:37:09,092 --> 00:37:11,827
- Damn shame.
- That it is.
682
00:37:11,861 --> 00:37:14,395
But life goes on.
683
00:37:14,430 --> 00:37:16,431
For some of us at least.
684
00:37:16,466 --> 00:37:18,834
Barkeep.
685
00:37:18,868 --> 00:37:20,836
Yes. What can I get for you?
686
00:37:20,870 --> 00:37:24,405
- And you are?
- Samuel. Samuel Langhorne.
687
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,508
- I'm the new man.
- Good to meet you, Samuel.
688
00:37:27,542 --> 00:37:30,711
Could you prepare me a gimlet?
689
00:37:30,745 --> 00:37:33,080
A gimlet. Yes, of course.
690
00:37:33,114 --> 00:37:37,117
Let's see if he prepares
one as well as Bens.
691
00:37:37,151 --> 00:37:40,588
- A gimlet, um...
- Well, obviously he can't.
692
00:37:40,622 --> 00:37:45,525
Do you prefer fresh limes, sir, or cordial?
693
00:37:45,559 --> 00:37:48,227
Fresh, of course.
694
00:37:48,261 --> 00:37:51,531
Very good. You were having us on.
695
00:37:54,101 --> 00:37:56,068
To Benson.
696
00:37:56,103 --> 00:37:58,872
He was a good one.
697
00:37:58,906 --> 00:38:00,973
You are speaking of the
man I'm replacing, I assume?
698
00:38:01,007 --> 00:38:03,108
We are indeed.
699
00:38:03,142 --> 00:38:05,911
But no one will ever replace Benson.
700
00:38:05,945 --> 00:38:08,113
Gentlemen, I assure you,
701
00:38:08,147 --> 00:38:10,115
I've tended bar in some of the...
702
00:38:10,149 --> 00:38:12,384
finest establishments in all the land.
703
00:38:12,418 --> 00:38:14,887
I'm sure you mix a fine drink,
704
00:38:14,921 --> 00:38:17,489
but Benson could do so much more.
705
00:38:17,523 --> 00:38:20,625
- You could always count on him.
- For a favour.
706
00:38:20,659 --> 00:38:24,294
- An alibi.
- A spot of female comfort.
707
00:38:24,329 --> 00:38:26,931
When he himself wasn't comforting females.
708
00:38:28,534 --> 00:38:31,235
- Very good.
- I'm sometimes surprised
709
00:38:31,269 --> 00:38:35,138
he lasted here as long here as he
did, considering some of his escapades.
710
00:38:35,172 --> 00:38:38,074
- Escapades?
- Hello, fellows.
711
00:38:38,108 --> 00:38:39,843
Ah, James. Come over here.
712
00:38:39,877 --> 00:38:43,046
We're having a bit of a
wake for our dear departed.
713
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:44,680
Sir, please allow me...
714
00:38:44,681 --> 00:38:45,681
Thank you.
715
00:38:49,787 --> 00:38:52,487
- Anything I can get for you, sir?
- Scotch and water.
716
00:38:52,522 --> 00:38:55,257
- Any brand you prefer?
- Scottish.
717
00:38:56,660 --> 00:39:00,596
These escapades you were speaking of...
718
00:39:00,630 --> 00:39:04,700
Well, far be it from me to gossip, but...
719
00:39:04,734 --> 00:39:06,769
- Good work, George.
- Thank you, sir.
720
00:39:06,803 --> 00:39:08,903
Even if you weren't authorized to do so.
721
00:39:08,938 --> 00:39:12,040
Sir, I felt I needed to remind you that
I'm capable of dealing with anything
722
00:39:12,074 --> 00:39:14,208
that's thrown at me. Despite my rank.
723
00:39:14,242 --> 00:39:17,278
George, you're Constable
Third Class in name only.
724
00:39:17,312 --> 00:39:20,314
We all know that.
725
00:39:20,348 --> 00:39:22,316
Why did you book Mr. Twain?
726
00:39:22,350 --> 00:39:24,819
He's a renowned humourist.
A world traveler.
727
00:39:24,853 --> 00:39:28,188
- And an enemy of the British Empire.
- I didn't know that.
728
00:39:28,222 --> 00:39:30,423
Mr. Eldridge,
729
00:39:30,458 --> 00:39:33,060
you may enjoy acting the fool,
but don't play me for one.
730
00:39:33,094 --> 00:39:35,228
You knew all about Mr. Twain's reputation,
731
00:39:35,262 --> 00:39:37,464
- and you knew it would cause a stir.
- Thomas,
732
00:39:37,498 --> 00:39:40,701
I realize you must be
upset, but I had no choice
733
00:39:40,735 --> 00:39:43,368
but to withdraw my offer of sponsorship.
734
00:39:43,403 --> 00:39:45,973
I don't give two monkeys
about your sponsorship.
735
00:39:46,074 --> 00:39:46,974
I believe that you knew
736
00:39:47,007 --> 00:39:49,609
Mr. Twain's visit would cause
a great deal of commotion.
737
00:39:49,643 --> 00:39:52,344
And in a commotion, many things can happen.
738
00:39:52,378 --> 00:39:55,948
And indeed they did. But I
would never have suspected
739
00:39:55,983 --> 00:39:58,217
- that a member of our club would...
- I recall you telling me
740
00:39:58,251 --> 00:40:00,819
- you shot that gnu.
- I did.
741
00:40:00,853 --> 00:40:02,988
Two hundred yards if it was an inch.
742
00:40:03,022 --> 00:40:03,577
Indeed.
743
00:40:03,578 --> 00:40:07,158
A pistol's a different proposition
altogether though, isn't it?
744
00:40:07,192 --> 00:40:09,193
I would imagine.
745
00:40:09,228 --> 00:40:11,162
I think you now know that for a fact.
746
00:40:11,196 --> 00:40:14,733
Why did you assign Mr. Benson
to be Mr. Twain's minder?
747
00:40:14,767 --> 00:40:16,734
He was an able young fellow.
748
00:40:16,768 --> 00:40:19,503
An excellent concierge at the club,
749
00:40:19,537 --> 00:40:21,505
as well as a fine bartender.
750
00:40:21,539 --> 00:40:24,207
I knew he'd be able to make
Mr. Twain's stay comfortable.
751
00:40:24,242 --> 00:40:26,710
He was known to make a
lot of people comfortable,
752
00:40:26,745 --> 00:40:29,050
- isn't that true?
- Yes. It's a shame to lose him.
753
00:40:29,051 --> 00:40:30,051
Is it?
754
00:40:30,381 --> 00:40:32,349
How's Clarissa taking it?
755
00:40:32,383 --> 00:40:34,350
Excuse me?
756
00:40:34,384 --> 00:40:37,086
Your wife, Clarissa.
757
00:40:37,121 --> 00:40:38,955
Almost thirty years your junior.
758
00:40:38,989 --> 00:40:42,191
How is she feeling
about Mr. Benson's death?
759
00:40:42,225 --> 00:40:44,593
Why are you bringing my wife into this?
760
00:40:44,628 --> 00:40:46,462
Because she's at the
center of it, isn't she?
761
00:40:46,496 --> 00:40:48,464
She is not.
762
00:40:48,498 --> 00:40:50,932
Your wife had been seeing
young Benson for some time.
763
00:40:50,967 --> 00:40:53,201
I imagine you might have
been able to handle it,
764
00:40:53,235 --> 00:40:56,805
but when the rest of the club found out,
they looked on you as a laughing stock.
765
00:40:56,839 --> 00:41:00,909
The wife of a member of the Empire
Club sleeping with a lowly bartender
766
00:41:00,943 --> 00:41:02,477
and not caring who knew.
767
00:41:02,511 --> 00:41:05,547
- You don't know that.
- Men talk to bartenders.
768
00:41:05,581 --> 00:41:08,082
Even more than they do their priests.
769
00:41:08,116 --> 00:41:11,652
We know exactly what your
wife was doing with Mr. Benson.
770
00:41:11,687 --> 00:41:13,387
And you knew it too, didn't you?
771
00:41:13,421 --> 00:41:16,290
- I told her to stop.
- But she wouldn't,
772
00:41:16,324 --> 00:41:18,625
so you killed Benson instead!
773
00:41:20,662 --> 00:41:24,431
Mr. Twain was nothing
more than a diversion.
774
00:41:26,433 --> 00:41:28,401
Look on the bright side, Clarence.
775
00:41:28,435 --> 00:41:30,704
She won't be sleeping with him anymore.
776
00:41:35,812 --> 00:41:37,760
Did you really say that to Mr. Wilson?
777
00:41:37,815 --> 00:41:39,816
- Indeed I did.
- Thomas...
778
00:41:39,850 --> 00:41:41,610
Now, Margaret, I know that
you're probably upset...
779
00:41:41,611 --> 00:41:42,611
You did the right thing.
780
00:41:43,054 --> 00:41:45,021
Your honour is far more important
781
00:41:45,056 --> 00:41:47,023
than associating with a bunch of windbags.
782
00:41:47,058 --> 00:41:50,226
So you're satisfied with
the odd policeman's ball?
783
00:41:50,260 --> 00:41:52,227
More than satisfied.
784
00:41:52,261 --> 00:41:56,031
Besides, you'd have probably been kicked
out of there within two weeks anyway.
785
00:41:56,066 --> 00:41:59,101
What about Verna Jones's gazebo?
786
00:41:59,135 --> 00:42:01,103
Didn't you hear?
787
00:42:01,137 --> 00:42:03,438
It burnt down in a mysterious fire.
788
00:42:08,111 --> 00:42:11,378
I will give Nikola your
best the next time I see him.
789
00:42:11,413 --> 00:42:14,849
- Please do.
- And Doctor Ogden,
790
00:42:14,883 --> 00:42:17,284
I do hope you'll be successful. We will be,
791
00:42:17,319 --> 00:42:20,221
- one day.
- And Inspector,
792
00:42:20,255 --> 00:42:22,323
I owe you an apology.
793
00:42:22,357 --> 00:42:24,358
An autograph will suffice, Mr. Twain.
794
00:42:24,392 --> 00:42:27,227
They rejected me.
795
00:42:27,261 --> 00:42:30,931
- The Empire Club?
- Apparently my thievery was noted.
796
00:42:30,965 --> 00:42:34,634
- You didn't say anything, did you, George?
- Of course not.
797
00:42:34,668 --> 00:42:37,670
And Henry, all they would've had
to do was take a whiff of you.
798
00:42:37,705 --> 00:42:40,440
Constable Crabtree,
799
00:42:40,474 --> 00:42:43,308
you strike me as a man with a nimble mind.
800
00:42:43,343 --> 00:42:45,711
- Thank you, sir.
- And this work of yours
801
00:42:45,746 --> 00:42:48,547
shows some promise.
802
00:42:48,581 --> 00:42:50,916
- You read it?
- I started it.
803
00:42:50,951 --> 00:42:52,985
Got any more in you?
804
00:42:53,019 --> 00:42:57,556
I don't know. I haven't much
felt like writing lately.
805
00:42:57,590 --> 00:43:00,258
You spent some time in penitentiary.
806
00:43:00,292 --> 00:43:02,493
Lost a fianc�e.
807
00:43:02,527 --> 00:43:05,230
- Indeed.
- Take it from me, son.
808
00:43:05,264 --> 00:43:07,866
Reality can be beaten
809
00:43:07,900 --> 00:43:09,934
with enough imagination.
810
00:43:12,337 --> 00:43:13,838
Go to it.
811
00:43:13,873 --> 00:43:16,374
Thank you, Mr. Twain.
812
00:43:16,376 --> 00:43:22,904
On the next Murdoch.
813
00:43:23,049 --> 00:43:24,616
She was deliberately targeted.
814
00:43:24,817 --> 00:43:26,125
Murder hits close to home.
815
00:43:26,286 --> 00:43:27,421
Why would she lie to me?
816
00:43:27,487 --> 00:43:29,008
But can they find the murderer...
817
00:43:29,155 --> 00:43:30,148
The real killer could still be living
818
00:43:30,150 --> 00:43:31,275
under an assumed name.
819
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:32,890
... before death comes knocking?
820
00:43:32,925 --> 00:43:36,490
