1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:02,680 Viewers like you make this 2 00:00:03,180 --> 00:00:04,480 program possible. Support your 3 00:00:04,980 --> 00:00:05,840 local PBS station. 4 00:00:30,370 --> 00:00:31,650 Do you have dinner plans this 5 00:00:32,150 --> 00:00:33,410 week? No, nothing as yet. 6 00:00:36,610 --> 00:00:39,130 I was thinking there's a nice 7 00:00:39,630 --> 00:00:41,050 little bistro south of the 8 00:00:41,550 --> 00:00:42,690 river. We could go there for 9 00:00:43,190 --> 00:00:44,530 dinner one night. I'd like that. 10 00:00:45,570 --> 00:00:47,010 We can discuss the Lewis case. 11 00:00:48,130 --> 00:00:49,170 Or perhaps we could talk about 12 00:00:49,670 --> 00:00:51,850 it now. Right. 13 00:00:53,290 --> 00:00:57,250 What does that mean? I've given 14 00:00:57,750 --> 00:00:58,010 that investigation to 15 00:00:58,510 --> 00:01:02,090 Culpeppers. What? Why? Eliza, 16 00:01:02,590 --> 00:01:04,650 it doesn't matter. I shouldn't 17 00:01:05,150 --> 00:01:05,850 have said anything. It's your 18 00:01:06,350 --> 00:01:08,330 prerogative to hire whoever you 19 00:01:08,830 --> 00:01:10,290 wish. Would you like me to 20 00:01:10,790 --> 00:01:13,850 explain? No. Yes. 21 00:01:15,130 --> 00:01:16,810 I have to use other agencies as 22 00:01:17,310 --> 00:01:17,970 well as yours. Otherwise I will 23 00:01:18,470 --> 00:01:20,050 be accused of favoritism. It's 24 00:01:20,550 --> 00:01:21,450 not favouritism. It's 25 00:01:21,950 --> 00:01:22,650 pragmatism. I would have solved 26 00:01:23,150 --> 00:01:23,770 that case in a heartbeat. 27 00:01:24,270 --> 00:01:24,930 There's also the matter of. 28 00:01:27,810 --> 00:01:28,970 Let's not discuss work in our 29 00:01:29,470 --> 00:01:31,090 personal time. The matter of 30 00:01:31,590 --> 00:01:36,370 what? Your expenses 31 00:01:36,870 --> 00:01:37,810 have been quite excessive on the 32 00:01:38,310 --> 00:01:40,530 last few cases. They were big 33 00:01:41,030 --> 00:01:42,330 investigations. I needed lots of 34 00:01:42,830 --> 00:01:43,570 resources. I'm just reminding 35 00:01:44,070 --> 00:01:44,730 you the budgets are tighter than 36 00:01:45,230 --> 00:01:47,380 ever. It's something to be aware 37 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:47,980 of in the future. 38 00:01:50,860 --> 00:01:52,900 Perhaps you're right. We should 39 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,780 not discuss work. Let's talk of 40 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:55,420 something else. 41 00:02:01,259 --> 00:02:02,580 Ivy. Mr. Potts will be back 42 00:02:09,740 --> 00:02:11,020 Sneaking out the back door in 43 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,150 the dead of night 15 again. 44 00:02:17,630 --> 00:02:20,910 Are you brooding? No. You sure? 45 00:02:21,410 --> 00:02:22,030 I'm perfectly fine. 46 00:02:27,550 --> 00:02:29,270 See you tomorrow night. You 47 00:02:29,770 --> 00:02:32,110 will. Marvelous. 48 00:02:32,990 --> 00:02:33,710 Marvelous. 49 00:02:44,330 --> 00:02:55,690 Ram. 50 00:03:31,770 --> 00:03:32,170 Careful. 51 00:03:35,370 --> 00:03:38,250 Oh. Still nothing for Mr. 52 00:03:38,750 --> 00:03:39,470 Wormsley. Would have thought 53 00:03:39,970 --> 00:03:40,670 he'd come to his senses by now. 54 00:03:41,170 --> 00:03:42,670 I'd apologised. He's a stubborn 55 00:03:43,170 --> 00:03:44,390 man. Bit like someone else. I 56 00:03:44,890 --> 00:03:46,070 know. He'll apologise soon 57 00:03:46,570 --> 00:03:47,590 enough. Then I will be back at 58 00:03:48,090 --> 00:03:48,630 work before you can say he could 59 00:03:49,130 --> 00:03:50,390 ever expat him. That's a post 60 00:03:50,890 --> 00:03:51,390 mortem condition. Perhaps 61 00:03:51,890 --> 00:03:52,430 suddenly. Later. I don't want to 62 00:03:52,930 --> 00:03:53,830 be late for work. I'll detain 63 00:03:54,330 --> 00:03:55,069 you. Not a moment longer, my 64 00:03:55,569 --> 00:03:57,870 jewel. Oh, I am sorry, 65 00:03:58,370 --> 00:03:59,270 Barnabas. You know how I'd love 66 00:03:59,770 --> 00:04:00,510 to hear all about your medical 67 00:04:01,010 --> 00:04:02,590 knowledge. What do I always say? 68 00:04:04,190 --> 00:04:05,510 That should I ever write my 69 00:04:06,010 --> 00:04:07,190 memoirs, you would be the first 70 00:04:07,690 --> 00:04:10,890 to read them. Exactly right. 71 00:04:11,050 --> 00:04:12,530 That drawing room won't sprinkle 72 00:04:13,030 --> 00:04:14,210 in itself. There's nothing wrong 73 00:04:14,710 --> 00:04:15,330 with the drawing room. I'll be 74 00:04:15,830 --> 00:04:16,090 the judge of that. 75 00:04:25,610 --> 00:04:29,130 Come. Surgery for a moment? 76 00:04:29,290 --> 00:04:32,130 Only if you're quick. I've been 77 00:04:32,630 --> 00:04:33,610 given rather irksome orders from 78 00:04:34,110 --> 00:04:35,410 the superintendent. Still, we 79 00:04:35,910 --> 00:04:39,090 live to serve and all that. As 80 00:04:39,590 --> 00:04:41,370 I'm new here, I just wanted to 81 00:04:41,850 --> 00:04:43,250 check something, but it's a bit 82 00:04:43,750 --> 00:04:44,130 awkward. I don't really know how 83 00:04:44,630 --> 00:04:45,770 to put it. Concisely I have a 84 00:04:46,270 --> 00:04:49,370 train to catch. Do you think 85 00:04:49,870 --> 00:04:50,530 it's all right for a copper to 86 00:04:51,030 --> 00:04:51,690 be romantically involved with a 87 00:04:52,190 --> 00:04:52,490 lady he works with? 88 00:04:55,370 --> 00:04:56,170 Why do you ask? 89 00:05:00,580 --> 00:05:01,340 If you have something to say, 90 00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:02,660 Detective Willowson, say it. 91 00:05:04,660 --> 00:05:06,340 I've been out for dinner with a 92 00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:07,300 lady from the clerical office. 93 00:05:09,300 --> 00:05:12,380 Twice, actually. Miss Isabel 94 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:13,860 Summers. I'd like to take her 95 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:14,820 out a third time. But I want to 96 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:16,780 check with you first. I'm not 97 00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:17,900 her father, Detective Willis. 98 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:18,740 What you do in your free time's 99 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,420 your own business. Thank you, 100 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,860 sir. Right. I'm off to 101 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:25,740 Hertfordshire where apparently 102 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:26,820 the local police need my help. 103 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:29,480 According to our esteemed 104 00:05:29,980 --> 00:05:31,520 superintendent. Anyway, we 105 00:05:32,020 --> 00:05:32,520 really must stop him reading the 106 00:05:33,020 --> 00:05:34,400 newspapers. Newspapers, sir? 107 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,000 Wonderful news, is it not? 108 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,760 It's a theft, Clarence. My 109 00:05:43,260 --> 00:05:44,080 thoughts are with the victims. 110 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,320 As are mine. Also, I had other 111 00:05:47,820 --> 00:05:48,360 thoughts about how it could be 112 00:05:48,860 --> 00:05:52,080 monetized. Trafalgar Spring is, 113 00:05:52,580 --> 00:05:53,040 as you know, the most famous 114 00:05:53,540 --> 00:05:54,360 racehorse in the land. But are 115 00:05:54,860 --> 00:05:55,720 you aware of the scandal 116 00:05:56,220 --> 00:05:56,880 involving his owners? 117 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,560 Enlighten me. The horse's 118 00:06:03,060 --> 00:06:04,160 owners, Lord and Lady Roberts, 119 00:06:04,660 --> 00:06:05,320 have recently been granted a 120 00:06:05,820 --> 00:06:07,200 divorce. There were accusations 121 00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:09,880 of infidelity on both sides and 122 00:06:10,380 --> 00:06:11,120 things became increasingly 123 00:06:11,620 --> 00:06:12,320 bitter. During the court case, 124 00:06:12,820 --> 00:06:13,400 they fought over everything. 125 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,240 Property, money, heirlooms. 126 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,160 Didn't she insist on keeping her 127 00:06:17,660 --> 00:06:19,120 title? Oh, you do read the 128 00:06:19,620 --> 00:06:20,880 gossip pages. Only the 129 00:06:21,380 --> 00:06:23,600 headlines. All the other matters 130 00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:25,340 were resolved, but the sticking 131 00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:26,660 point was their prize winning 132 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,340 racehorse, Trafalgar Spring. 133 00:06:29,380 --> 00:06:30,980 Both sides wished to keep him. 134 00:06:31,140 --> 00:06:33,380 Precisely. Lady Roberts managed 135 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:34,780 to prove that she had bought him 136 00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:36,300 as a foal with her own money and 137 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:37,940 the court found in her favor. 138 00:06:38,100 --> 00:06:40,580 The horse was being kept at Lord 139 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,820 Roberts stables, so the judge 140 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,220 ordered him to give the animal 141 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,020 back to his former wife. But 142 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:47,700 before he could do so. 143 00:06:52,510 --> 00:06:54,070 Intriguing. Intriguing and 144 00:06:54,570 --> 00:06:56,110 potentially rewarding. She's 145 00:06:56,610 --> 00:06:58,070 offered £100 for his safe 146 00:06:58,570 --> 00:07:02,110 return. We must make an 147 00:07:02,610 --> 00:07:02,710 appointment with her 148 00:07:03,210 --> 00:07:04,590 immediately. I've already done 149 00:07:05,090 --> 00:07:08,190 so. She's an acquaintance of Mr. 150 00:07:08,690 --> 00:07:09,950 Nash from his horse racing days. 151 00:07:10,450 --> 00:07:11,470 We met her on several occasions. 152 00:07:12,350 --> 00:07:13,990 I'm not the Clarence. But we 153 00:07:14,490 --> 00:07:15,470 must proceed with caution. Lady 154 00:07:15,970 --> 00:07:16,720 Roberts blames her husband for 155 00:07:17,220 --> 00:07:18,440 the horses theft. That man is as 156 00:07:18,940 --> 00:07:21,080 well connected as they come. I 157 00:07:21,580 --> 00:07:22,360 take it you know who his cousin 158 00:07:22,860 --> 00:07:25,920 is? As I was telling the police 159 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,080 Commissioner, I've been breeding 160 00:07:28,580 --> 00:07:30,640 horses for 30 years and 161 00:07:31,140 --> 00:07:33,800 Trafalgar Spring is the cream of 162 00:07:34,300 --> 00:07:36,480 the crop. He practically glides 163 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,320 across the turf. Have you seen 164 00:07:38,820 --> 00:07:40,560 him race? I haven't, sir, no. 165 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,360 What kind of policeman are you? 166 00:07:43,830 --> 00:07:45,190 Thought you lot were always at 167 00:07:45,690 --> 00:07:46,870 the track. You were telling me 168 00:07:47,370 --> 00:07:47,910 about the night of the theft. 169 00:07:48,550 --> 00:07:51,270 He was locked up in his usual 170 00:07:51,350 --> 00:07:54,470 stall, chain and padlock. 171 00:07:55,510 --> 00:07:57,390 There was a hell of a storm that 172 00:07:57,890 --> 00:07:59,550 night, and Evans, my 173 00:08:00,050 --> 00:08:01,350 groundskeeper, didn't arrive 174 00:08:01,850 --> 00:08:04,550 until first light, which is when 175 00:08:05,050 --> 00:08:08,310 he found the chain was cut, the 176 00:08:08,810 --> 00:08:11,440 door was open, and Trafalgar 177 00:08:11,940 --> 00:08:15,840 Spring was gone. Of course, 178 00:08:16,340 --> 00:08:18,440 I fired him on the spot. No 179 00:08:18,940 --> 00:08:19,920 doubt in my mind that the man 180 00:08:20,420 --> 00:08:22,400 was in cahoots with her. Her? 181 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,280 My former wife. Clearly, she 182 00:08:26,780 --> 00:08:29,200 paid him to take the horse, and 183 00:08:29,700 --> 00:08:30,920 now she has it hidden somewhere, 184 00:08:31,420 --> 00:08:33,200 I'm sure. I understood Lady 185 00:08:33,700 --> 00:08:34,280 Roberts was awarded the animal 186 00:08:34,780 --> 00:08:35,000 as part of the divorce 187 00:08:35,500 --> 00:08:37,080 settlement. Why would she steal 188 00:08:37,580 --> 00:08:38,960 her own property? I'm appealing 189 00:08:39,460 --> 00:08:40,520 against that decision. And my 190 00:08:41,020 --> 00:08:42,840 lawyers have assured me that I 191 00:08:43,340 --> 00:08:44,680 have every chance of winning, 192 00:08:45,180 --> 00:08:48,280 and she knows it. She paid off 193 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,639 my groundskeeper, you can 194 00:08:52,139 --> 00:08:54,760 be sure, either with money or 195 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,320 other favors. I want the woman 196 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,280 arrested. The local police have 197 00:09:01,780 --> 00:09:02,400 already spoken to Lady Roberts 198 00:09:02,900 --> 00:09:03,720 and taken statements from all 199 00:09:04,220 --> 00:09:05,380 your ground staff, including Mr. 200 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,100 Evans, your groundskeeper. I'm 201 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:08,140 only here to oversee things, 202 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,140 not get directly involved. I am 203 00:09:10,460 --> 00:09:12,780 cousin to Her Majesty the Queen 204 00:09:14,460 --> 00:09:16,620 and godfather to the Prime 205 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,699 Minister's son. Do I really 206 00:09:21,199 --> 00:09:22,900 have to explain to you the ways 207 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:24,460 in which I could make your life 208 00:09:24,540 --> 00:09:27,980 difficult?

Isn't he in 219 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,660 prison now? He served his time 220 00:10:05,740 --> 00:10:08,100 and since been released. Good 221 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,060 news for his sons, I suppose. 222 00:10:11,420 --> 00:10:12,620 Not that he has any. 223 00:10:15,660 --> 00:10:16,780 Perhaps you could tell us a 224 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:18,220 little more about Trafalgar 225 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,340 Spring.

Indeed he is. 228 00:10:24,590 --> 00:10:27,150 I bought him as a colt with 229 00:10:27,650 --> 00:10:28,710 money my father gave me before I 230 00:10:29,210 --> 00:10:31,390 was married. Trafalgar Spring 231 00:10:31,790 --> 00:10:34,310 far outshone any of the horses 232 00:10:34,810 --> 00:10:36,510 being trained by my former 233 00:10:37,010 --> 00:10:39,230 husband. Much to his annoyance. 234 00:10:40,430 --> 00:10:42,630 He truly is a magnificent 235 00:10:43,130 --> 00:10:43,990 creature. Yes. He won two 236 00:10:44,490 --> 00:10:45,190 Classics in his first season. 237 00:10:45,690 --> 00:10:46,950 Is that right?

As a 247 00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:10,440 woman. I know. I don't give a 248 00:11:10,940 --> 00:11:11,640 damn about your struggles as a 249 00:11:12,140 --> 00:11:14,720 woman.

Should he succeed, 254 00:11:25,630 --> 00:11:27,050 he will reclaim everything that 255 00:11:27,550 --> 00:11:28,570 you have been awarded, not just 256 00:11:29,070 --> 00:11:30,570 the Horse, but the houses and 257 00:11:31,070 --> 00:11:33,450 the money. There are, however, 258 00:11:34,090 --> 00:11:35,930 ways that one can hide one's 259 00:11:36,430 --> 00:11:38,570 assets. Which perhaps I could 260 00:11:39,070 --> 00:11:42,500 show you. Patrick Nash 261 00:11:43,140 --> 00:11:46,740 was a crook, but a wealthy one. 262 00:11:50,180 --> 00:11:52,180 You find my horse, 263 00:11:54,660 --> 00:11:57,060 you hide my money. 264 00:11:58,820 --> 00:11:59,940 We look forward to working with 265 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,740 you, Lady Roberts.

Miss Scarlet. 277 00:12:31,630 --> 00:12:35,280 Inspector Blake. I'd ask what 278 00:12:35,780 --> 00:12:36,200 you're doing here, but I assume 279 00:12:36,700 --> 00:12:37,480 it's about a missing racehorse. 280 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:39,680 You wish to acquire Lady Roberts 281 00:12:40,180 --> 00:12:41,720 as a client? You assume 282 00:12:42,220 --> 00:12:42,960 correctly. And I can happily 283 00:12:43,460 --> 00:12:44,200 report that we were successful 284 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,160 beating. Who was it?

Well, as I always say, 287 00:12:50,220 --> 00:12:52,560 they are no match for you. I 288 00:12:53,060 --> 00:12:54,040 always find actions speak louder 289 00:12:54,540 --> 00:12:57,560 than words. Good day. And 290 00:12:58,060 --> 00:13:00,410 search. Blake. Scarlet. Mr. 291 00:13:00,910 --> 00:13:04,290 Pettigrew. Have you fallen 292 00:13:04,790 --> 00:13:05,690 out with the Inspector? Not at 293 00:13:06,190 --> 00:13:07,290 all. You just seem rather 294 00:13:07,790 --> 00:13:08,610 officious and to the point. 295 00:13:08,930 --> 00:13:10,290 Inspector Baker's a client of 296 00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:11,210 mine and that's how I am with 297 00:13:11,710 --> 00:13:13,810 clients.

I'm sure your degree is 304 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:49,460 transformed, particularly with 305 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:50,660 the chair in a slightly 306 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:52,810 different position. You spent 307 00:13:53,310 --> 00:13:55,770 all day cleaning? Well, I did 308 00:13:56,270 --> 00:13:56,930 drop by the post office to see 309 00:13:57,430 --> 00:13:57,850 if there was a problem with the 310 00:13:58,350 --> 00:13:59,690 mail. I thought that might be 311 00:14:00,190 --> 00:14:00,730 why I had not received a letter 312 00:14:01,230 --> 00:14:02,090 from Mr. Wormsley. And is there 313 00:14:02,590 --> 00:14:04,770 a problem? There is not, no. 314 00:14:05,170 --> 00:14:06,690 But no matter. I'm still to 315 00:14:07,190 --> 00:14:08,930 finish my to do list.

Not quite. 325 00:14:48,430 --> 00:14:50,190 That was our first argument. It 326 00:14:50,690 --> 00:14:51,430 was hardly an argument. It was 327 00:14:51,930 --> 00:14:54,030 more of a discussion. One that 328 00:14:54,530 --> 00:14:56,430 will be resolved when you say 329 00:14:56,930 --> 00:14:59,190 sorry. I didn't realize an 330 00:14:59,690 --> 00:15:01,510 apology was needed.

However, what are my 336 00:15:18,140 --> 00:15:18,200 theories on the missing 337 00:15:18,700 --> 00:15:22,320 racehorse? If I were to 338 00:15:22,820 --> 00:15:24,400 suggest that Lord Roberts fake 339 00:15:24,900 --> 00:15:26,160 the theft in order to punish his 340 00:15:26,660 --> 00:15:27,400 former wife, what would you say? 341 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,320 It's A possibility, but I'm 342 00:15:29,820 --> 00:15:32,640 keeping an open mind.

I did hear 416 00:20:42,350 --> 00:20:45,510 it is just a rumor, but I heard 417 00:20:46,010 --> 00:20:47,480 that my husband had inquired 418 00:20:47,980 --> 00:20:48,200 about his services. 419 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,400 Clarence, I have some news. 420 00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:59,400 There's been a significant 421 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:00,480 development on the hunt for 422 00:21:00,980 --> 00:21:02,840 Trafalgar Spring. Excellent. 423 00:21:03,340 --> 00:21:05,240 What is it? I'm not entirely 424 00:21:05,740 --> 00:21:07,440 sure. You may have to give me a 425 00:21:07,940 --> 00:21:08,480 little more information than 426 00:21:08,980 --> 00:21:11,280 that. Some sort of crime was 427 00:21:11,780 --> 00:21:13,030 committed last night. What kind 428 00:21:13,530 --> 00:21:15,630 of crime? I'm not entirely sure. 429 00:21:16,270 --> 00:21:18,430 And where was this? Well, I'm 430 00:21:18,930 --> 00:21:19,350 not entirely sure about that 431 00:21:19,850 --> 00:21:21,110 either. Forgive me, but what 432 00:21:21,610 --> 00:21:22,110 does make you entirely sure? 433 00:21:22,610 --> 00:21:22,830 This is a significant 434 00:21:22,990 --> 00:21:23,390 development. 435 00:21:26,510 --> 00:21:27,910 I have it on good authority that 436 00:21:28,410 --> 00:21:28,910 Inspector Blake was called out 437 00:21:29,410 --> 00:21:29,830 to a crime scene last night. 438 00:21:30,330 --> 00:21:30,670 And that crime scene is 439 00:21:31,170 --> 00:21:32,790 connected to our case. But you 440 00:21:33,290 --> 00:21:34,150 don't know what happened or 441 00:21:34,650 --> 00:21:37,510 where it was precisely. Now, 442 00:21:38,010 --> 00:21:39,550 this is what we do know. The 443 00:21:40,050 --> 00:21:40,790 horse was stolen from Lord 444 00:21:41,290 --> 00:21:43,150 Robert's stables. So really, I 445 00:21:43,650 --> 00:21:44,590 should go there, take a look 446 00:21:45,090 --> 00:21:46,790 around. But I need to find a way 447 00:21:47,290 --> 00:21:49,790 to visit undetected. How about 448 00:21:50,290 --> 00:21:51,510 you?

Ah, no matter. 542 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,160 I will keep myself busy writing 543 00:25:39,660 --> 00:25:41,680 the next instant.

I heard his body was 555 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,220 found last night. How well did 556 00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,740 you know Mr. Lawson? Hardly all. 557 00:27:00,380 --> 00:27:02,500 He worked for her. I had my own 558 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,219 man. Is it right you banned 559 00:27:05,719 --> 00:27:06,380 Lawson from your stables when 560 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:07,660 the divorce proceedings began? 561 00:27:07,740 --> 00:27:10,500 Didn't trust him. And for the 562 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,020 record, I'm quite sure that he 563 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:14,620 and my former wife were more 564 00:27:15,120 --> 00:27:16,540 than just trainer and owner. 565 00:27:18,060 --> 00:27:19,340 You're suggesting an affair? 566 00:27:20,060 --> 00:27:21,620 There are so many rumors about 567 00:27:22,120 --> 00:27:24,980 her, anything is possible. I 568 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:26,180 spoke to Lady Robertson. She 569 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:27,460 suggested that you'd offered 570 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,100 Lawson his job back. And you 571 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:30,140 believed her? 572 00:27:34,700 --> 00:27:36,500 For God's sake, man, are you a 573 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,140 fool or just incompetent?

That woman has a 579 00:27:53,770 --> 00:27:56,670 corrupted soul and she will stop 580 00:27:57,170 --> 00:27:59,150 at nothing. What the devil. 581 00:28:03,230 --> 00:28:05,790 Give me.

My name's Miss Barrier. 584 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,000 Inspector Blake. You know this 585 00:28:19,500 --> 00:28:22,520 woman? I can explain. 586 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,680 What will Lord Roberts do next? 587 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:32,800 He will complain that I haven't 588 00:28:33,300 --> 00:28:34,890 arrested you. He will complain 589 00:28:35,390 --> 00:28:35,850 that I haven't arrested his 590 00:28:36,350 --> 00:28:37,450 wife. He will complain that I 591 00:28:37,950 --> 00:28:39,810 haven't found the horse. In 592 00:28:40,310 --> 00:28:40,850 summary, he will complain a 593 00:28:41,350 --> 00:28:41,610 great deal and make my life 594 00:28:42,110 --> 00:28:43,210 incredibly difficult. Rather as 595 00:28:43,710 --> 00:28:46,690 you do. I know we agree not to 596 00:28:47,190 --> 00:28:47,810 discuss work, but if we had, 597 00:28:48,310 --> 00:28:48,970 situations like this, afternoon 598 00:28:49,470 --> 00:28:49,810 might have been avoided. 599 00:28:51,570 --> 00:28:53,330 Firstly, do not blame me for 600 00:28:53,830 --> 00:28:55,450 what happened. Secondly, do not 601 00:28:55,950 --> 00:28:56,490 ask me to share confidential 602 00:28:56,990 --> 00:28:57,930 information when your client is 603 00:28:58,430 --> 00:28:59,450 a suspect in the case. Is there 604 00:28:59,950 --> 00:29:02,930 a thirdly? Possibly. 605 00:29:03,810 --> 00:29:07,450 I'm still thinking. I have 606 00:29:07,950 --> 00:29:09,490 a proposal. I will Consider 607 00:29:09,570 --> 00:29:10,770 terminating my contract with 608 00:29:11,270 --> 00:29:11,850 Lady Roberts if you tell me 609 00:29:12,350 --> 00:29:12,650 everything you know about the 610 00:29:13,150 --> 00:29:15,690 case. But I reserve the right to 611 00:29:16,190 --> 00:29:16,690 make that decision once I've 612 00:29:17,190 --> 00:29:18,850 heard your conclusions. How does 613 00:29:19,350 --> 00:29:20,130 that sound? Unacceptable. 614 00:29:21,650 --> 00:29:23,210 Alexander, I appreciate this is 615 00:29:23,710 --> 00:29:24,410 difficult, and if I was in your 616 00:29:24,910 --> 00:29:25,370 position, I would keep my cards 617 00:29:25,870 --> 00:29:26,910 close to my chest too. Not that 618 00:29:27,410 --> 00:29:27,790 I'd ever be in your position, 619 00:29:28,290 --> 00:29:31,070 since I'm a woman. Thirdly, do 620 00:29:31,570 --> 00:29:31,950 not try and extract information 621 00:29:32,450 --> 00:29:34,350 out of me using guilt. I resent 622 00:29:34,850 --> 00:29:35,990 that suggestion. It's not a 623 00:29:36,490 --> 00:29:37,190 suggestion, it's an accusation. 624 00:29:40,310 --> 00:29:42,510 Just so you know, this goes both 625 00:29:43,010 --> 00:29:44,190 ways. Perhaps I have information 626 00:29:44,690 --> 00:29:45,270 that will be interesting to you. 627 00:29:45,510 --> 00:29:46,230 You don't. 628 00:29:49,910 --> 00:29:52,790 Blake. Superintendent. 629 00:29:53,340 --> 00:29:56,780 Yes, sir. All you are saying are 630 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,020 words that make no sense. You 631 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:01,900 are not explaining it clearly. 632 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,380 Stop waffling, man. Be concise. 633 00:30:04,620 --> 00:30:06,380 I'm doing my best. But as I have 634 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,140 said, your financial affairs are 635 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:09,500 quite challenging. Can you 636 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,820 protect my money or not? Yes, I 637 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:13,460 can. I can. But I just need a 638 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:14,420 little more time to fully 639 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:16,020 understand your finances. What 640 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:17,580 is there to understand? I 641 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:19,180 thought you were an accountant, 642 00:30:20,090 --> 00:30:21,610 Lady Roberts. You have numerous 643 00:30:22,110 --> 00:30:23,050 bank accounts and a bewildering 644 00:30:23,210 --> 00:30:24,970 array of investments, none of 645 00:30:25,470 --> 00:30:26,010 which are providing any kind of 646 00:30:26,510 --> 00:30:27,530 return, by the way. There are 647 00:30:28,030 --> 00:30:29,890 also many payments with no 648 00:30:30,390 --> 00:30:31,210 detailed reference. For 649 00:30:31,710 --> 00:30:34,730 instance, £50 to a Mr. M. 650 00:30:34,810 --> 00:30:37,290 Butterworth. He's my 651 00:30:37,790 --> 00:30:40,570 upholsterer. I have had to set 652 00:30:41,070 --> 00:30:43,130 up an entirely new household. 653 00:30:43,530 --> 00:30:44,610 Would you have me go to the 654 00:30:45,110 --> 00:30:45,290 workhouse? 655 00:30:48,540 --> 00:30:49,740 Oh, Heddy Rivets. 656 00:30:51,740 --> 00:30:53,020 No, don't mind me. 657 00:30:55,980 --> 00:30:59,100 £120 to Mrs. 658 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,980 Ruddy. She runs a spa in Bath. 659 00:31:02,700 --> 00:31:05,020 I was stricken with melancholy 660 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,020 after the divorce. I needed to 661 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,740 take the waters. Oh, yes, of 662 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,980 course. But a whopping £250 to 663 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,060 a Mr. Daniel O'Dwyer. He is 664 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,180 an old acquaintance who runs a 665 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,660 charity for retired racehorses. 666 00:31:24,380 --> 00:31:26,580 I will not apologize for having 667 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:28,260 a kind heart. And I do not 668 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:29,780 appreciate being questioned in 669 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:31,860 this way. No. But if I am going 670 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:33,060 to help, I do need to go through 671 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,020 every detail of your finance. 672 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:36,980 And you. What have you found out 673 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:38,300 about my missing horse? 674 00:31:40,700 --> 00:31:42,140 What on earth is that? 675 00:31:54,990 --> 00:31:58,190 Eddie Roberts, if you want your 676 00:31:58,690 --> 00:32:01,510 horseback pay £300 into locker 677 00:32:02,010 --> 00:32:04,510 332 at Kingscourse Station at 8 678 00:32:05,010 --> 00:32:06,270 o' clock tomorrow night. Tell 679 00:32:06,770 --> 00:32:07,870 the police and the animal dies 680 00:32:11,190 --> 00:32:12,230 was addressed to you, Lady 681 00:32:12,730 --> 00:32:14,830 Roberts. Who else knew that you 682 00:32:15,330 --> 00:32:17,670 were here? I told no one. 683 00:32:18,550 --> 00:32:20,710 My driver dropped me two streets 684 00:32:21,210 --> 00:32:21,910 away. I don't want anyone 685 00:32:22,410 --> 00:32:25,990 knowing my business. Pay them. 686 00:32:27,190 --> 00:32:28,390 I will give you the money, 687 00:32:30,390 --> 00:32:31,790 yes, but we must let the police 688 00:32:32,290 --> 00:32:34,310 know. No, I don't want anything 689 00:32:34,810 --> 00:32:35,910 more to do with this whole damn 690 00:32:36,410 --> 00:32:40,190 business. Do as they 691 00:32:40,690 --> 00:32:42,710 say. Pay them the ransom. 692 00:32:46,870 --> 00:32:48,550 And when my horse is returned, 693 00:32:49,110 --> 00:32:51,750 you will receive £100. 694 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,640 Ah. That's that, then. Wait, 695 00:33:05,140 --> 00:33:05,680 wait, wait, wait, wait. 696 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,200 Extortion with the threat of 697 00:33:08,700 --> 00:33:09,480 violence is a serious crime. 698 00:33:09,980 --> 00:33:10,440 And Inspector Blake is under 699 00:33:10,940 --> 00:33:11,240 pressure to capture those 700 00:33:11,740 --> 00:33:13,280 responsible. If we say nothing, 701 00:33:13,780 --> 00:33:14,920 they'll get away. Well, that is 702 00:33:15,420 --> 00:33:16,240 his problem, not ours. We have a 703 00:33:16,740 --> 00:33:17,680 business to run. There are good 704 00:33:18,180 --> 00:33:20,160 reasons to involve him. There 705 00:33:20,660 --> 00:33:22,320 are many reasons not to. £100 706 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,440 worth, to be precise. Unless I 707 00:33:24,940 --> 00:33:26,850 am missing something, you're 708 00:33:27,350 --> 00:33:28,010 acting in the most peculiar 709 00:33:28,510 --> 00:33:29,330 manner. Something is amiss. I 710 00:33:29,830 --> 00:33:30,930 cannot cross Inspector Blake and 711 00:33:31,430 --> 00:33:32,370 that's fine. But why? Because I 712 00:33:32,870 --> 00:33:34,170 can't. Eliza, what has changed? 713 00:33:39,050 --> 00:33:40,450 You've not fallen out with 714 00:33:40,950 --> 00:33:41,370 Inspector Blake, 715 00:33:44,730 --> 00:33:47,490 you've fallen in with him. It 716 00:33:47,990 --> 00:33:49,930 all makes sense now. Have you 717 00:33:50,010 --> 00:33:52,690 lost your mind? Think of the 718 00:33:53,190 --> 00:33:54,250 damage to your reputation. Not 719 00:33:54,750 --> 00:33:55,130 to mention the conflict of 720 00:33:55,630 --> 00:33:56,770 interest in Scotland Yard. And 721 00:33:57,270 --> 00:33:58,810 what of our clients? They will 722 00:33:59,310 --> 00:33:59,970 question where your loyalties 723 00:34:00,470 --> 00:34:01,490 lie. And what if things do not 724 00:34:01,990 --> 00:34:02,690 end well between the two of you? 725 00:34:03,190 --> 00:34:04,050 We've lost our main source of 726 00:34:04,550 --> 00:34:05,850 revenue. I am aware of all that. 727 00:34:06,410 --> 00:34:07,850 And yet still you have done it. 728 00:34:09,930 --> 00:34:12,010 If our business fails, Eliza, 729 00:34:13,050 --> 00:34:15,930 I have nothing. Things were 730 00:34:16,090 --> 00:34:17,730 finely smooth sailing, but you 731 00:34:18,230 --> 00:34:20,329 are just like Mr. Nurse. Intend 732 00:34:20,829 --> 00:34:22,249 on always rocking the damn boat. 733 00:34:34,969 --> 00:34:38,569 Barnabas, I'm home. 734 00:34:43,689 --> 00:34:44,569 Barnabas, 735 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,920 You gave me a fright. Sorry, I 736 00:35:47,420 --> 00:35:50,280 was miles away. Everything all 737 00:35:50,780 --> 00:35:52,000 right? Yes. 738 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:56,880 No. 739 00:36:02,650 --> 00:36:03,890 I've never seen Clarence so 740 00:36:04,390 --> 00:36:06,170 upset. Clarence is just doing 741 00:36:06,670 --> 00:36:07,770 his job. I understand his 742 00:36:08,270 --> 00:36:10,490 concerns, but this relationship 743 00:36:10,990 --> 00:36:12,210 with Inspector Blake is a long 744 00:36:12,710 --> 00:36:14,890 time coming. I've never known 745 00:36:15,390 --> 00:36:17,530 you so happy. I am happy. 746 00:36:18,810 --> 00:36:19,770 I just don't want everything 747 00:36:20,270 --> 00:36:20,810 I've worked for to be for 748 00:36:21,310 --> 00:36:23,370 nothing. Do you want my advice? 749 00:36:24,570 --> 00:36:25,770 Does it start with when you were 750 00:36:26,270 --> 00:36:26,330 a little girl? 751 00:36:29,300 --> 00:36:30,820 If you had a case that ains 752 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:32,340 solving would mean harm to me 753 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,900 and my reputation, what would 754 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,500 you do? Well, there's no 755 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:38,820 dilemma. You would come first 756 00:36:39,300 --> 00:36:41,180 because you care about me. Of 757 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,980 course. Then there's your 758 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:44,500 answer. 759 00:36:50,340 --> 00:36:51,540 I'll take the blackmail letters 760 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:52,380 to Inspector Blake in the 761 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,000 morning. You're always right. 762 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,240 Could you please tell my husband 763 00:37:26,370 --> 00:37:27,330 Good morning, Miss Scarlett. 764 00:37:27,830 --> 00:37:29,130 Detective Willows. I'm waiting 765 00:37:29,630 --> 00:37:31,370 on Inspector Blake. Any idea 766 00:37:31,870 --> 00:37:33,170 where he is? He was in with the 767 00:37:33,670 --> 00:37:34,770 superintendent first thing. The 768 00:37:35,270 --> 00:37:36,050 meeting must have run over. Oh, 769 00:37:36,550 --> 00:37:39,450 that never bodes well. Would you 770 00:37:39,950 --> 00:37:40,610 like me to pass on a message? 771 00:37:41,330 --> 00:37:43,010 The autopsy report he requested 772 00:37:43,510 --> 00:37:44,490 finally came through. I'll leave 773 00:37:44,990 --> 00:37:47,170 on his desk. I'll let him know 774 00:37:47,730 --> 00:37:48,610 then. Scott. 775 00:38:14,380 --> 00:38:15,500 Daniel o'dwyer. 776 00:38:26,060 --> 00:38:27,700 Good morning, sir. It's far from 777 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:28,940 good. I've just been in with the 778 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:30,620 super more Complaints from Lord 779 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:32,060 Roberts. Well, he's consistent, 780 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,860 I'll give him that. But still 781 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:36,130 early. So let's be optimistic 782 00:38:36,630 --> 00:38:37,150 about. Hope for a better day 783 00:38:37,650 --> 00:38:38,270 ahead. Well, I might be able to 784 00:38:38,770 --> 00:38:40,270 help you out, sir. The coroner's 785 00:38:40,770 --> 00:38:41,270 report for Jack Lawson came 786 00:38:41,770 --> 00:38:42,350 through. Put it on your desk. 787 00:38:43,150 --> 00:38:44,670 Cause of death, Internal 788 00:38:45,170 --> 00:38:45,950 bleeding caused by a ruptured 789 00:38:46,450 --> 00:38:47,510 liver. There's also severe 790 00:38:48,010 --> 00:38:48,630 bruising on the abdomen, which 791 00:38:49,130 --> 00:38:50,470 the coroner had a theory. Said 792 00:38:50,970 --> 00:38:51,230 that he'd seen that before 793 00:38:51,730 --> 00:38:52,509 amongst stable hands and 794 00:38:53,009 --> 00:38:55,310 jockeys. Kick from a horse? 795 00:38:55,550 --> 00:38:56,430 Exactly, sir. 796 00:38:58,510 --> 00:39:00,110 Well, it was late at night on a 797 00:39:00,610 --> 00:39:02,120 dark forest lane. It could have 798 00:39:02,620 --> 00:39:03,080 been an accident, transferring 799 00:39:03,580 --> 00:39:04,400 the animal from one horse box to 800 00:39:04,900 --> 00:39:07,680 another. I've looked into this 801 00:39:08,180 --> 00:39:09,040 Jack Lawson. Couldn't find 802 00:39:09,540 --> 00:39:09,680 anything on him in 803 00:39:10,180 --> 00:39:10,720 Hertfordshire, where he lived. 804 00:39:11,220 --> 00:39:11,920 But I did find an old arrest 805 00:39:12,420 --> 00:39:13,320 sheet here in the records room. 806 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,000 Lawson was Irish, came to London 807 00:39:16,500 --> 00:39:17,240 10 years ago. But he had a 808 00:39:17,740 --> 00:39:18,800 different name then. Daniel 809 00:39:19,300 --> 00:39:22,400 O'Dwyer. He left Ireland with 810 00:39:22,900 --> 00:39:24,600 a mountain of unpaid debts and a 811 00:39:25,100 --> 00:39:27,280 reputation for race fixing. So 812 00:39:27,780 --> 00:39:28,520 when he arrived in London, he 813 00:39:29,190 --> 00:39:30,550 called himself Jack Lawson as a 814 00:39:31,050 --> 00:39:32,950 fresh start. Good work. Well 815 00:39:33,450 --> 00:39:35,470 done. You say you left the files 816 00:39:35,970 --> 00:39:38,350 on my desk? I left it right 817 00:39:38,850 --> 00:39:41,670 there with Miss Scarlett. Miss 818 00:39:42,170 --> 00:39:42,470 Scarlett was here. 819 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,480 Oh, there you are. Looking 820 00:40:00,980 --> 00:40:03,720 everywhere for you. Something I 821 00:40:04,220 --> 00:40:05,160 wanted to say. And I needed time 822 00:40:05,660 --> 00:40:06,280 to think. There's no time for 823 00:40:06,780 --> 00:40:07,680 thinking, Clarence. I have news 824 00:40:08,180 --> 00:40:08,760 on the case. No, no, please, 825 00:40:09,260 --> 00:40:12,000 let me finish. Very well. 826 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:16,160 I'm sorry for what I said last 827 00:40:16,660 --> 00:40:19,700 night. I was just frustrated. 828 00:40:22,170 --> 00:40:23,490 Our business means an awful lot 829 00:40:23,990 --> 00:40:25,770 to me. Apart from Mother, it's 830 00:40:26,270 --> 00:40:28,130 all I have. And you mean an 831 00:40:28,630 --> 00:40:31,330 awful lot to me, too. You are a 832 00:40:31,830 --> 00:40:33,570 good friend, Eliza. It's 833 00:40:34,070 --> 00:40:34,770 surprising how few friends I was 834 00:40:35,270 --> 00:40:36,210 left with once I had a criminal 835 00:40:36,710 --> 00:40:39,970 record. Thank you. Speaking of 836 00:40:40,470 --> 00:40:42,010 criminal records. But my first 837 00:40:42,510 --> 00:40:43,330 thought should have been your 838 00:40:43,830 --> 00:40:46,100 happiness. You of all people 839 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,380 deserve to be happy. If 840 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,260 Inspector Blake makes you happy, 841 00:40:50,340 --> 00:40:51,620 then that is what is most 842 00:40:55,460 --> 00:40:57,100 That means a great deal. Thank 843 00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,340 you. Now, have you finished? 844 00:41:02,500 --> 00:41:05,060 I have. What did you want to 845 00:41:11,110 --> 00:41:12,950 So this Daniel O'Dwyer that Lady 846 00:41:13,450 --> 00:41:15,150 Roberts made payments to was an 847 00:41:15,650 --> 00:41:17,230 ex convict? Contrary to what you 848 00:41:17,730 --> 00:41:18,510 told us, he didn't run a charity 849 00:41:19,010 --> 00:41:20,830 for retired resources. He was 850 00:41:21,330 --> 00:41:22,310 wanted in Ireland for unpaid 851 00:41:22,810 --> 00:41:24,590 debts, changed his name to Jack 852 00:41:25,090 --> 00:41:26,110 Lawson to escape arrest and 853 00:41:26,610 --> 00:41:27,430 wound up dead. That was the 854 00:41:27,930 --> 00:41:28,630 crime scene that Inspector Blake 855 00:41:29,130 --> 00:41:31,630 attended the other night. She 856 00:41:32,130 --> 00:41:32,830 didn't want the police involved 857 00:41:33,330 --> 00:41:33,870 in the kidnapping. She's seen 858 00:41:34,370 --> 00:41:35,990 this up to her neck. But how do 859 00:41:36,490 --> 00:41:40,330 you know all this? You stole 860 00:41:40,830 --> 00:41:41,850 a file from Inspector Blake's 861 00:41:42,350 --> 00:41:44,170 office. I temporarily borrowed 862 00:41:44,670 --> 00:41:46,130 it. My intention was to tell 863 00:41:46,630 --> 00:41:47,050 Inspector Blake, about the 864 00:41:47,550 --> 00:41:48,730 ransom note. But circumstances 865 00:41:48,890 --> 00:41:50,450 changed. Which they are going to 866 00:41:50,950 --> 00:41:52,050 do. As long as the horse is 867 00:41:52,550 --> 00:41:53,130 found and the thieves brought to 868 00:41:53,630 --> 00:41:54,090 justice, that's all he'll care 869 00:41:54,590 --> 00:41:56,130 about. That and the confidential 870 00:41:56,630 --> 00:41:57,370 file you stole from his desk. 871 00:41:57,870 --> 00:41:59,170 I'll worry about that later. We 872 00:41:59,670 --> 00:42:01,450 have a horse to find first. We 873 00:42:01,950 --> 00:42:02,610 may not receive the fee from 874 00:42:03,110 --> 00:42:04,010 Lady Roberts, but the publicity 875 00:42:04,510 --> 00:42:06,330 would be invaluable. Now, the 876 00:42:06,830 --> 00:42:07,450 ransom note says that the bag 877 00:42:07,950 --> 00:42:08,410 drop will be at 8 o' clock 878 00:42:08,910 --> 00:42:09,930 tonight, which gives us seven 879 00:42:10,430 --> 00:42:12,170 hours until then. How do we find 880 00:42:12,670 --> 00:42:14,130 the horse? I've been studying 881 00:42:14,630 --> 00:42:16,090 the ransom note, removing the 882 00:42:16,590 --> 00:42:17,210 letters and rearranging them. 883 00:42:17,710 --> 00:42:18,930 And it turns out that the words 884 00:42:19,430 --> 00:42:19,810 were cut from the same 885 00:42:20,310 --> 00:42:22,370 newspaper. Kingsbury Herald. 886 00:42:22,770 --> 00:42:24,090 Yes, it's a local newspaper. 887 00:42:24,590 --> 00:42:25,290 Sold in only two postal 888 00:42:25,790 --> 00:42:26,770 districts in northwest London. 889 00:42:26,930 --> 00:42:28,290 I'd bet in money that the horse 890 00:42:28,790 --> 00:42:31,050 has been kept in that area. We 891 00:42:31,550 --> 00:42:33,290 need a map. One that shows 892 00:42:33,790 --> 00:42:36,330 buildings on it. Buildings big 893 00:42:36,830 --> 00:42:39,570 enough to hide a horse. Make a 894 00:42:40,070 --> 00:42:40,770 detective of evidence. 895 00:42:57,820 --> 00:43:00,100 Good afternoon, my jewel. You 896 00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:01,180 really should have woken me this 897 00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:02,620 morning. Well, I didn't want to 898 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:04,180 disturb you. You look so worn 899 00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:06,420 out. I cannot dispute the fact 900 00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:07,540 that all this writing has left 901 00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:08,940 me feeling somewhat fatigued. 902 00:43:09,340 --> 00:43:10,780 Not to mention played havoc with 903 00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:12,780 my Lexor digitorum profundus. 904 00:43:14,140 --> 00:43:16,540 Ow. Never mind my ailments. 905 00:43:18,860 --> 00:43:20,060 What do you think of my first 906 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,790 chapter? I very much enjoyed it. 907 00:43:24,350 --> 00:43:26,110 But perhaps it might benefit 908 00:43:26,610 --> 00:43:27,510 from a little trim here and 909 00:43:28,010 --> 00:43:30,590 there. Trim? It is rather long. 910 00:43:31,070 --> 00:43:32,350 There's a lot of detail about 911 00:43:32,850 --> 00:43:33,590 the management of the mortuary 912 00:43:34,090 --> 00:43:36,549 budget. Perhaps I could be a bit 913 00:43:37,049 --> 00:43:39,350 more economical. Might go some 914 00:43:39,850 --> 00:43:41,430 way to ease my current malady 915 00:43:41,930 --> 00:43:43,590 too. Absolutely. The rest from 916 00:43:44,090 --> 00:43:44,550 the writing might be the best 917 00:43:45,050 --> 00:43:46,150 thing. In the meantime, you 918 00:43:46,650 --> 00:43:47,770 could get your old job by 919 00:43:48,270 --> 00:43:49,250 apologizing to Mr. Wormsley 920 00:43:49,750 --> 00:43:51,930 rather than waiting on him. You 921 00:43:52,430 --> 00:43:53,010 want me to give up the writing? 922 00:43:53,170 --> 00:43:55,050 I know the idea of apologizing 923 00:43:55,550 --> 00:43:56,410 goes against your principles, 924 00:43:56,910 --> 00:43:57,570 but. You want me to give up the 925 00:43:58,070 --> 00:44:00,530 writing. Barnabas, 926 00:44:01,090 --> 00:44:02,770 you're a wonderful writer, 927 00:44:04,850 --> 00:44:06,530 but these twinges can start 928 00:44:07,030 --> 00:44:08,130 small and before you know it, 929 00:44:08,630 --> 00:44:09,410 you have an acute condition. 930 00:44:09,970 --> 00:44:11,250 Look at my mother's gout. 931 00:44:17,980 --> 00:44:20,300 Perhaps you are right, my jewel. 932 00:44:22,620 --> 00:44:23,820 I know just what to do. 933 00:44:28,220 --> 00:44:30,300 Misses Potts, have you seen Miss 934 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:32,740 Scarlett? Not today, no. Well, 935 00:44:33,240 --> 00:44:33,580 I need to speak to her. I've 936 00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:35,020 been to the office, her house. 937 00:44:35,420 --> 00:44:36,740 She's not there. What has that 938 00:44:37,240 --> 00:44:37,980 girl gone and done now? If you 939 00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:38,660 see her, would you be kind 940 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:39,610 enough to die? Directed to my 941 00:44:40,110 --> 00:44:41,410 office immediately. Yes, 942 00:44:41,910 --> 00:44:43,730 Inspector. Course, Sir. Yes? 943 00:44:44,230 --> 00:44:46,290 It's Ms. Scarlet.

As you can see, I 948 00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:07,500 have found Trafalgar Spring, 949 00:45:07,740 --> 00:45:09,180 the award winning racehorse that 950 00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:10,180 all London has been searching 951 00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,380 for.

Thank you. 975 00:45:52,850 --> 00:45:53,930 Thank you, James. That's enough 976 00:45:54,430 --> 00:45:56,010 for today. Thank you. On your 977 00:45:56,510 --> 00:45:57,980 way. Name your dress as a thief. 978 00:45:58,060 --> 00:46:00,740 Some driver, Jack Lawson, paid 979 00:46:01,240 --> 00:46:03,220 to transport the horse. But it 980 00:46:03,720 --> 00:46:05,820 wasn't just Lawson. He had help 981 00:46:07,420 --> 00:46:08,380 inside. Help? 982 00:46:14,220 --> 00:46:15,980 If anyone stole that horse, it 983 00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,820 was her. The man is a liar. He 984 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:20,860 would kill his own mother if it 985 00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:22,300 meant getting his hands on my 986 00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:24,190 horse. How dare, dare you speak 987 00:46:24,690 --> 00:46:25,630 of my mother, who, by the way, 988 00:46:26,130 --> 00:46:28,070 never liked you. I'm not 989 00:46:28,570 --> 00:46:29,310 suggesting that you yourself 990 00:46:29,810 --> 00:46:31,950 stole the horse. We know it was 991 00:46:32,450 --> 00:46:34,510 Jack Lawson, real name, Daniel 992 00:46:35,010 --> 00:46:37,310 O'Dwyer, a horse trainer with a 993 00:46:37,810 --> 00:46:40,070 criminal past. Contrary to what 994 00:46:40,570 --> 00:46:41,230 you told me, you didn't donate 995 00:46:41,730 --> 00:46:42,590 money to O'Dwyer's racehorse 996 00:46:43,090 --> 00:46:44,550 charity, but rather you paid him 997 00:46:45,050 --> 00:46:48,030 to steal Trafalgar Spring. Ah. 998 00:46:49,780 --> 00:46:51,420 No court in the land will let 999 00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,900 you have the horse now. And on 1000 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:56,420 further delving into O'Dwyer's 1001 00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:57,340 accounts, we found that you, 1002 00:46:57,840 --> 00:46:58,820 Lord Roberts, had sold him 1003 00:46:59,060 --> 00:47:00,700 property in London for a 1004 00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:02,340 ridiculously low price just last 1005 00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,100 month, despite saying you've had 1006 00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,420 no dealings with him. I told you 1007 00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,060 so. Lies trip off his tongue 1008 00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:13,020 like the serpent he is. I would 1009 00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:14,780 wager that you both had some 1010 00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:16,660 arrangement with Daniel O'Dwyer. 1011 00:47:17,620 --> 00:47:20,340 But he betrayed both of you and 1012 00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:21,860 intended on selling to a breeder 1013 00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:22,820 who had put the horse out to 1014 00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,420 stud on the black market. And 1015 00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:28,300 what of the man who held my 1016 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,860 horse to ransom? It is he who 1017 00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:32,340 should be in custody, not I. 1018 00:47:32,820 --> 00:47:34,460 The man in question has been 1019 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:36,860 arrested. He was hired by 1020 00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:38,700 O'Dwyer to transport the horse 1021 00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,020 to a breeder. When the horse 1022 00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:42,380 kicked out at O'Dwyer, he 1023 00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,150 panicked, left Edouard fatally 1024 00:47:44,650 --> 00:47:45,230 injured and drove off with 1025 00:47:45,730 --> 00:47:47,470 Trafalgar Spring. Luckily for 1026 00:47:47,970 --> 00:47:49,830 us, he got greedy and decided to 1027 00:47:50,330 --> 00:47:50,750 keep the horse himself and 1028 00:47:51,250 --> 00:47:51,510 ransom it. 1029 00:47:55,430 --> 00:47:57,790 Extortion and fraud are 1030 00:47:58,290 --> 00:48:00,230 extremely serious offenses. 1031 00:48:01,110 --> 00:48:03,470 However, I'm inclined to be 1032 00:48:03,970 --> 00:48:05,430 generous to press no charges. 1033 00:48:05,930 --> 00:48:08,310 Speak no more about it. But I 1034 00:48:08,810 --> 00:48:09,310 cannot speak for My colleague 1035 00:48:09,810 --> 00:48:11,160 here, who is very well connected 1036 00:48:11,660 --> 00:48:13,200 with the press. I am indeed, 1037 00:48:13,700 --> 00:48:15,600 Inspector Blake. And what a 1038 00:48:16,100 --> 00:48:17,960 story it would make. However, 1039 00:48:18,460 --> 00:48:18,960 I'm sure Miss Scarlet can be 1040 00:48:19,460 --> 00:48:19,800 persuaded to keep this old 1041 00:48:20,300 --> 00:48:22,720 debacle quiet. I believe that 1042 00:48:23,220 --> 00:48:23,840 she, like me, has had enough of 1043 00:48:24,340 --> 00:48:28,240 the pair of you. What do you 1044 00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:37,970 Drop the appeal case and 1045 00:48:38,470 --> 00:48:39,170 allow Lady Roberts to keep her 1046 00:48:39,670 --> 00:48:42,090 horse. And you will pay Miss 1047 00:48:42,590 --> 00:48:45,890 Scarlet her fee. Her full 1048 00:48:46,390 --> 00:48:49,170 fee. With a bonus for her 1049 00:48:49,670 --> 00:48:50,170 continued silence. 1050 00:48:54,170 --> 00:48:55,450 I trust this is an end to the 1051 00:49:03,140 --> 00:49:04,020 Barnabas, 1052 00:49:09,460 --> 00:49:10,260 I'm home. 1053 00:49:18,820 --> 00:49:23,540 Barnabas. One fluid ounce 1054 00:49:24,260 --> 00:49:24,660 of. 1055 00:49:27,060 --> 00:49:28,340 What nice are you doing? 1056 00:49:29,550 --> 00:49:31,790 Writing my jaw. When I left you 1057 00:49:32,290 --> 00:49:33,350 earlier, I went straight to the 1058 00:49:33,850 --> 00:49:34,830 stationers and got Thor Name? 1059 00:49:35,330 --> 00:49:36,950 Quinlan Quandary. They had a 1060 00:49:37,450 --> 00:49:38,910 typewriter there on sale for 1061 00:49:39,410 --> 00:49:42,510 half the usual price. Oh, as you 1062 00:49:43,010 --> 00:49:44,670 said, so much easier than 1063 00:49:45,170 --> 00:49:46,470 writing by hand. But I thought 1064 00:49:46,970 --> 00:49:47,470 you were going to get your old 1065 00:49:47,970 --> 00:49:49,270 job back at the mortuary. Why 1066 00:49:49,770 --> 00:49:50,670 would I do that when you 1067 00:49:51,170 --> 00:49:52,430 yourself said I was a wonderful 1068 00:49:52,510 --> 00:49:52,990 writer? 1069 00:49:57,720 --> 00:50:01,160 One fluid ounce of I o 1070 00:50:01,720 --> 00:50:02,280 ding. 1071 00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:15,400 You know, you could have told me 1072 00:50:15,900 --> 00:50:16,880 about the ransom. Well, and have 1073 00:50:17,380 --> 00:50:17,880 you take away my moment in the 1074 00:50:18,380 --> 00:50:19,520 sun? I've already had three 1075 00:50:20,020 --> 00:50:20,280 offers of work from that 1076 00:50:20,780 --> 00:50:22,530 publicity. Besides, I was 1077 00:50:23,030 --> 00:50:23,490 keeping to your rule of not 1078 00:50:23,990 --> 00:50:24,810 discussing work. I believe it 1079 00:50:25,310 --> 00:50:28,290 was our rule. And one we should 1080 00:50:28,790 --> 00:50:30,330 stick to. Agreed. 1081 00:50:32,890 --> 00:50:35,490 It's nice going out together. I 1082 00:50:35,990 --> 00:50:36,730 don't know this area very well. 1083 00:50:37,370 --> 00:50:38,450 That's far enough out of the way 1084 00:50:38,950 --> 00:50:41,010 to enjoy some privacy. And if 1085 00:50:41,510 --> 00:50:42,050 anyone should recognize this, 1086 00:50:42,550 --> 00:50:43,810 the tables are almost big enough 1087 00:50:44,310 --> 00:50:47,860 to hide under. Clarence knows 1088 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,340 about us. He guessed. 1089 00:50:52,980 --> 00:50:54,380 Well, it's only a matter of time 1090 00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,020 before everyone finds out. So 1091 00:50:57,520 --> 00:50:58,340 let's enjoy the quiet before the 1092 00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:00,660 storm. May I? Thank you. 1093 00:51:07,620 --> 00:51:09,140 Did you hear about that robbery 1094 00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:10,420 that went wrong in Blackfriars? 1095 00:51:10,740 --> 00:51:13,950 No. Does that breach our rule? 1096 00:51:14,910 --> 00:51:17,230 Oh, he does a little, yes. 1097 00:51:20,830 --> 00:51:22,910 What if we amend the rule? 1098 00:51:25,630 --> 00:51:26,990 We're allowed to discuss work 1099 00:51:27,490 --> 00:51:28,190 that doesn't directly concern 1100 00:51:28,270 --> 00:51:31,190 us. I'm about to take over the 1101 00:51:35,390 --> 00:51:38,270 I dare. When I say the burglary 1102 00:51:38,770 --> 00:51:39,340 went wrong, mean it went 1103 00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:41,900 spectacularly wrong. Do tell. 1104 00:51:42,380 --> 00:51:44,900 So it all started in the most 1105 00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:45,820 bizarre way.
