00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:54,565
Which is why we are going
to make it our absolute priority

358
00:14:54,566 --> 00:14:58,265
to find out who did this and
to get those possessions back.

359
00:14:58,266 --> 00:15:02,532
Yes.
And I want you to lead
the case yourself.

360
00:15:02,533 --> 00:15:03,965
(clears throat)

361
00:15:03,966 --> 00:15:07,032
Well, sir, you, uh,
told me to specifically oversee

362
00:15:07,033 --> 00:15:08,165
all active investigations.

363
00:15:08,166 --> 00:15:09,499
Oh, forget what I told you.

364
00:15:09,500 --> 00:15:13,065
Many of these men
have a say in my budgets.

365
00:15:13,066 --> 00:15:15,099
They could make my life...
(clears throat)

366
00:15:15,100 --> 00:15:16,765
...difficult.

367
00:15:16,766 --> 00:15:18,399
So, you will lead this case

368
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,632
and you will resolve it
with speed and discretion.

369
00:15:21,633 --> 00:15:25,465
And, if you do not,
I will hold you

370
00:15:25,466 --> 00:15:26,632
directly responsible.

371
00:15:26,633 --> 00:15:29,465
Is that understood,
Wellington?

372
00:15:29,466 --> 00:15:31,432
Yes, sir.

(birds twittering)

374
00:15:33,433 --> 00:15:36,965
I won't tell you again,
I want no part in this.

375
00:15:36,966 --> 00:15:40,099
Any association with that place
would be catastrophic for me.

380
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,765
there are some questions
that I have to ask.

381
00:15:50,766 --> 00:15:53,699
So, the gunman
came into the bedroom,

382
00:15:53,700 --> 00:15:55,532
demanded your possessions...

383
00:15:55,533 --> 00:15:57,732
(exhales):
I need some pain relief!

384
00:15:57,733 --> 00:15:59,465
And I will send
for the nurse

385
00:15:59,466 --> 00:16:00,732
when you have answered
my questions.

386
00:16:00,733 --> 00:16:02,366
Am I under arrest?

387
00:16:03,300 --> 00:16:05,665
No.
Then here is my statement.

388
00:16:05,666 --> 00:16:09,565
I received this gunshot
in a hunting accident.

389
00:16:09,566 --> 00:16:10,965
This is what I have told
my wife

390
00:16:10,966 --> 00:16:13,099

will tell anyone who asks.

391

So, you staged a robbery

918
00:42:01,466 --> 00:42:05,065
would want to admit to being.

919
00:42:05,066 --> 00:42:08,066

It seemed like the perfect place

So, while everyone thought
you were in bed intoxicated,

922
00:42:15,766 --> 00:42:17,700
you disguised yourself
as the gunman.

923
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,932
And when it came
to robbing yourself,

924
00:42:20,933 --> 00:42:22,332
you staged a fight

925
00:42:22,333 --> 00:42:23,432

I planned to leave
the gunman's attire

928

and what I'd stolen
in the room next door.

929
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,865
I would then get back into bed
as the drunk minister,

930
00:42:32,866 --> 00:42:36,732
and no one would be
any the wiser.

931
00:42:36,733 --> 00:42:40,565
But then I heard the watchman on
duty yelling for help outside,

932

and I...
(sighs)

933

I flew into a panic.

934
00:42:44,900 --> 00:42:48,499
As I squeezed through the door
to the disused room,

935
00:42:48,500 --> 00:42:51,732
I stumbled and fell.

936
00:42:51,733 --> 00:42:56,632
And the handgun went off.

937
00:42:56,633 --> 00:42:59,799
I've never used a handgun
before.

938
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:03,533
Bought it from some rough type
in a pub in Whitechapel.

939

But you had to cover the fact
you'd been shot,

940
00:43:07,900 --> 00:43:10,733
so you put a bullet
in the bedroom floor, too.

941
00:43:13,166 --> 00:43:16,932
I told the madam everything.

942
00:43:16,933 --> 00:43:19,399
I had to.

943

I needed her help.

944
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,932
She was livid I'd done such a
thing in her place of business,

945
00:43:24,933 --> 00:43:28,465
so she instructed
that I keep my mouth shut.

946

And she would get rid
of the evidence.

947
00:43:30,433 --> 00:43:32,265
Which is why she
pretended to track down

948
00:43:32,266 --> 00:43:34,565
the stolen possessions,

949
00:43:34,566 --> 00:43:36,665

all the time.

950
00:43:36,666 --> 00:43:39,765
They would be returned

1060
00:49:24,766 --> 00:49:29,799
She told me something
that may be of interest to you.

1061
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:35,733
(people talking in background)

1062
00:49:40,033 --> 00:49:41,499
Mr. Sinclaire.

1063
00:49:41,500 --> 00:49:43,432
Ah, Miss Scarlet.

1064
00:49:43,433 --> 00:49:44,832
How serendipitous.

1065
00:49:44,833 --> 00:49:48,132
I was intending to pay you
a visit this very afternoon.

1066
00:49:48,133 --> 00:49:49,866
It appears you have
saved me a journey.

1067
00:49:51,500 --> 00:49:53,232
Here is the story I have

1068
00:49:53,233 --> 00:49:55,532
just penned
about you and your...

1069
00:49:55,533 --> 00:49:58,199
(inhales sharply):
...lamentable fall from grace.

1070
00:49:58,200 --> 00:49:59,632
Would you care
to read it now?

1071
00:49:59,633 --> 00:50:01,999
Or perhaps you would rather
wait until it's published,

1072
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:03,565
which I believe it will be,

1073
00:50:03,566 --> 00:50:05,532
in tomorrow morning's edition.

1074
00:50:05,533 --> 00:50:07,165
No, it will not,
Mr. Sinclaire.

1075
00:50:07,166 --> 00:50:09,399
In fact, you will return
immediately to the office

1076
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:10,632
and retract the article.

1077
00:50:10,633 --> 00:50:13,132
And why on Earth
would I do that?

1078
00:50:13,133 --> 00:50:15,132
You've no doubt heard about
the robbery that took place

1079
00:50:15,133 --> 00:50:17,899
at the brothel in Mayfair,
the Temple of Elysium.

1080
00:50:17,900 --> 00:50:20,465
The madam has
asked her girls

1081
00:50:20,466 --> 00:50:22,099
to reunite
their regular clients

1082
00:50:22,100 --> 00:50:23,732
with their stolen
possessions.

1083
00:50:23,733 --> 00:50:25,932
And one of those girls
just happens to be

1084
00:50:25,933 --> 00:50:27,532
an associate of mine.

1085
00:50:27,533 --> 00:50:28,633
Athena?

1086
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,200
She kindly allowed me
to return this to you.

1087
00:50:34,333 --> 00:50:36,932
(clears throat)

1088
00:50:36,933 --> 00:50:39,532
Very nice inscription
of your name.

1089
00:50:39,533 --> 00:50:42,133
No mention of you being
chief correspondent, though.

1090
00:50:43,300 --> 00:50:45,399
Perhaps the next time
your wife

1091
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:47,032
inscribes a gift, she'll
remember to include it.

1092
00:50:47,033 --> 00:50:48,499
Oh, and just to reassure you,

1093
00:50:48,500 --> 00:50:50,632
Inspector Wellington has
logged it as evidence.

1094
00:50:50,633 --> 00:50:52,899
So, should the need
ever arise to prove

1095
00:50:52,900 --> 00:50:55,966
your presence at the brothel,
it will not be hard to do so.

1096
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:06,466
Good day, Mr. Sinclaire.

1097
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:14,865
Thank you.
