And someone 90 00:06:44,670 --> 00:06:45,250 else comes to mind, too. 91 00:07:10,730 --> 00:07:12,130 Sir Joseph Milner was a senior 92 00:07:12,630 --> 00:07:13,290 minister at the Foreign Office. 93 00:07:13,450 --> 00:07:14,690 Right hand man to The Foreign 94 00:07:15,190 --> 00:07:16,170 Secretary? Yes, I read about 95 00:07:16,670 --> 00:07:17,650 him. He died from a hunting 96 00:07:18,150 --> 00:07:20,250 accident. The official story is 97 00:07:20,750 --> 00:07:22,250 he fell from his horse, cut his 98 00:07:22,750 --> 00:07:24,049 leg. The wound got infected, he 99 00:07:24,549 --> 00:07:25,170 developed a fever, dying a few 100 00:07:25,670 --> 00:07:26,810 days later. Official story. 101 00:07:27,450 --> 00:07:28,650 That's not what happened. 102 00:07:29,530 --> 00:07:30,570 That's what we intend to find 103 00:07:31,070 --> 00:07:31,690 out. Oh, you think perhaps he 104 00:07:32,190 --> 00:07:32,730 was murdered? What makes you 105 00:07:33,230 --> 00:07:34,140 think that? Well, we can't go 106 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,180 into detail. Not yet at least. 107 00:07:36,660 --> 00:07:38,300 Sir Joseph mixed at the highest 108 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,260 levels. Parliament, Whitehall, 109 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:41,540 any number of foreign embassies. 110 00:07:41,700 --> 00:07:43,100 We cannot simply turn up and 111 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:44,580 start asking questions. Which is 112 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,340 why we'll have a cover. We'll 113 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:47,740 say we're investigating a spate 114 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:49,180 of street thefts in Westminster 115 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:50,660 and Mayfair. My father did this 116 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:52,060 once when his prime suspect was 117 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,180 from a powerful family. And it 118 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,860 worked. With a little help from 119 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,030 me. The area of 120 00:08:01,530 --> 00:08:02,230 our bogus street thefts would 121 00:08:02,730 --> 00:08:03,430 include Park Lane, where Sir 122 00:08:03,930 --> 00:08:05,550 Joseph lived, as well as the 123 00:08:06,050 --> 00:08:07,470 government offices in Whitehall 124 00:08:07,630 --> 00:08:09,550 and the embassies he frequented. 125 00:08:10,050 --> 00:08:10,790 We need you two to poke around 126 00:08:11,290 --> 00:08:11,950 in the areas that require, 127 00:08:12,430 --> 00:08:14,190 well, less conventional methods. 128 00:08:15,790 --> 00:08:17,190 Myself and Inspector Blake will 129 00:08:17,690 --> 00:08:17,950 deal with the face to face 130 00:08:18,450 --> 00:08:19,190 interviews, gaining access to 131 00:08:19,690 --> 00:08:20,270 the premises to see what we can 132 00:08:20,770 --> 00:08:21,510 learn about Sir Joseph. And to 133 00:08:22,010 --> 00:08:22,830 avoid suspicion, we'll have an 134 00:08:23,330 --> 00:08:23,950 increased uniform presence on 135 00:08:24,450 --> 00:08:25,680 the streets, just as we would in 136 00:08:26,180 --> 00:08:27,440 a genuine investigation. So this 137 00:08:27,940 --> 00:08:28,760 is to stay strictly between the 138 00:08:29,260 --> 00:08:31,120 four of us? Five. I have a man 139 00:08:31,620 --> 00:08:33,240 on the inside. The robberies 140 00:08:33,740 --> 00:08:34,400 took place in Mayfair and 141 00:08:34,900 --> 00:08:35,640 Westminster, so there will be 142 00:08:36,140 --> 00:08:36,760 extra patrols on the street. 143 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:38,680 Anyone who looks suspicious, or 144 00:08:39,180 --> 00:08:39,520 anyone you think may have seen 145 00:08:40,020 --> 00:08:40,760 something. Pull them over, see 146 00:08:41,260 --> 00:08:41,840 what they have to say. Yeah, 147 00:08:42,340 --> 00:08:43,480 right. I have a question, sir. 148 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,200 I haven't heard anything about 149 00:08:46,700 --> 00:08:48,040 these robberies. Me neither. 150 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:49,880 Where are the incident reports? 151 00:08:51,650 --> 00:08:52,730 There's a backlog in the 152 00:08:53,230 --> 00:08:54,970 clerical office. No doubt. The 153 00:08:55,470 --> 00:08:55,850 incident reports are being 154 00:08:56,350 --> 00:08:56,850 processed as we speak. 155 00:09:00,210 --> 00:09:02,250 And those two case? Buyers who 156 00:09:02,750 --> 00:09:04,130 wanted. Thanks. Thank you. Do 157 00:09:04,630 --> 00:09:05,330 you have a moment, Mrs. Potts? 158 00:09:05,830 --> 00:09:06,930 Of course. Detective Willows, 159 00:09:12,050 --> 00:09:13,570 I need some incident reports. 160 00:09:13,730 --> 00:09:14,810 Oh, if you just give me the 161 00:09:15,310 --> 00:09:15,930 reference numbers, I can find 162 00:09:16,430 --> 00:09:17,670 them for you right away. It's. 163 00:09:19,510 --> 00:09:20,670 It's a little more complicated 164 00:09:21,170 --> 00:09:22,630 than that. Delicate matter. It 165 00:09:23,130 --> 00:09:24,150 requires the utmost discretion. 166 00:09:28,470 --> 00:09:31,150 Ladies, listen up. There's been 167 00:09:31,650 --> 00:09:33,470 a spate of street thefts and 168 00:09:33,970 --> 00:09:35,190 Detective Willows is making this 169 00:09:35,690 --> 00:09:37,550 a top priority. So we need to 170 00:09:38,050 --> 00:09:39,310 stop what we're doing and type 171 00:09:39,810 --> 00:09:41,150 up the incident report right 172 00:09:41,650 --> 00:09:43,150 away. 1. Yes, Mom? 173 00:09:48,270 --> 00:09:49,470 Down this road here. 174 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,160 I have heard of no robberies on 175 00:10:09,660 --> 00:10:11,320 this street. It was mostly in 176 00:10:11,820 --> 00:10:13,520 the neighboring area. But the 177 00:10:14,020 --> 00:10:15,440 Metropolitan Police like to be 178 00:10:15,940 --> 00:10:17,680 thorough. In truth, it is no 179 00:10:18,180 --> 00:10:18,640 surprise that I have heard 180 00:10:19,140 --> 00:10:21,160 nothing. My employer died last 181 00:10:21,660 --> 00:10:22,960 week. And I've barely left this 182 00:10:23,460 --> 00:10:24,840 house. There's so much to do. 183 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:28,960 I'm very sorry to hear that, 184 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,320 It was a shock to the entire 185 00:10:34,820 --> 00:10:37,340 staff. Sir Joseph was a good 186 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,500 man. This particular gang liked 187 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,220 to target wealthy gentlemen and 188 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:44,300 follow them to their residence. 189 00:10:45,260 --> 00:10:46,620 Such evil in this world. 190 00:10:48,620 --> 00:10:49,700 I couldn't agree more. Mr. 191 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,060 Lawrence, perhaps you could 192 00:10:53,560 --> 00:10:54,260 summarize Sir Joseph's daily 193 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:55,100 routine. In the event the 194 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:56,220 thieves had been following him, 195 00:10:58,220 --> 00:11:00,540 Sir Joseph would go to Whitehall 196 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,270 to work and then to various 197 00:11:03,770 --> 00:11:05,990 embassies around the city. He'd 198 00:11:06,490 --> 00:11:09,990 come back late with. With. 199 00:11:13,110 --> 00:11:14,350 He enjoyed the company of 200 00:11:14,850 --> 00:11:16,470 ladies. That is all. I shall. 201 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,560 I visited at least a dozen of 202 00:11:29,060 --> 00:11:29,920 the embassies but could find 203 00:11:30,420 --> 00:11:31,400 nothing of interest about Sir 204 00:11:31,900 --> 00:11:34,000 Joseph. Seemed affable enough. 205 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,840 What did they say? Quiet, well 206 00:11:38,340 --> 00:11:40,480 mannered, not given to voicing 207 00:11:40,980 --> 00:11:42,240 strong opinions. He was a 208 00:11:42,740 --> 00:11:45,480 politician? Not exactly. Butler 209 00:11:45,980 --> 00:11:46,760 said much the same. Although 210 00:11:47,260 --> 00:11:47,920 there was one thing of interest. 211 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,320 Apparently Sir Joseph, like 212 00:11:50,820 --> 00:11:53,900 female company lovers or ladies 213 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:55,620 of the night. You wouldn't say? 214 00:11:55,940 --> 00:11:57,060 I tried to press him but he 215 00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:59,820 wouldn't give details. He may 216 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:01,220 wish to preserve his reputation. 217 00:12:02,580 --> 00:12:03,820 No one wants a butler who 218 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,180 gossips. No, but something else. 219 00:12:07,300 --> 00:12:08,659 Something I can't put my finger 220 00:12:15,300 --> 00:12:18,910 What?

I can't 226 00:12:42,090 --> 00:12:42,510 request a fire from the 227 00:12:43,010 --> 00:12:43,230 mortuary. It will cause 228 00:12:43,730 --> 00:12:46,230 suspicion.

Well, it is 269 00:14:51,750 --> 00:14:52,010 lucky for me that you're here, 270 00:14:52,510 --> 00:14:52,890 Mr. Potts, because there's a 271 00:14:53,390 --> 00:14:54,170 coroner's report I need to see. 272 00:14:54,650 --> 00:14:55,850 Now, the deceased in question. 273 00:14:56,490 --> 00:14:58,170 Well, let's just say it's a 274 00:14:58,670 --> 00:15:00,450 confidential matter and one that 275 00:15:00,610 --> 00:15:02,850 demands your utmost discretion. 276 00:15:14,690 --> 00:15:16,850 I got your message this in. 277 00:15:17,170 --> 00:15:18,530 He's been delivering coal to 278 00:15:19,030 --> 00:15:20,130 Joseph's house twice a week for 279 00:15:20,630 --> 00:15:22,050 the past three years. I thought 280 00:15:22,550 --> 00:15:23,450 he could give us some insight 281 00:15:23,950 --> 00:15:24,690 into the minister's domestic. 282 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,200 This gentleman, for want of a 283 00:15:28,700 --> 00:15:30,280 better word, has a criminal 284 00:15:30,780 --> 00:15:32,440 record for assault.

I thought 293 00:15:48,820 --> 00:15:49,560 it could give us useful leverage 294 00:15:50,060 --> 00:15:51,690 on requesting it. A man like 295 00:15:52,190 --> 00:15:53,490 that won't take too kindly to 296 00:15:53,990 --> 00:15:54,210 leverage. 297 00:15:58,210 --> 00:16:00,210 Just to confirm, should this 298 00:16:00,710 --> 00:16:01,250 turn into a physical 299 00:16:01,750 --> 00:16:02,970 confrontation, that is very much 300 00:16:03,470 --> 00:16:04,770 your department, not mine. 301 00:16:11,490 --> 00:16:12,690 Leave it with me. 302 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,120 1.

After a few 343 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,780 drinks, he got loose lipped. 344 00:18:47,100 --> 00:18:48,620 Told me there's a butler there, 345 00:18:48,780 --> 00:18:51,940 a Mr. Lawrence. I spoke to him 346 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,900 today. Apparently, none of the 347 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,520 other servants like him. Rumor 348 00:18:58,020 --> 00:18:59,880 has it Sir Joseph accused him of 349 00:19:00,380 --> 00:19:02,080 theft and planned to dismiss 350 00:19:02,580 --> 00:19:04,400 him, but then the minister, 351 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:05,760 Upton, croaked it. 352 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:10,640 And there's something else. 353 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:13,760 Even though he lives in a 354 00:19:14,260 --> 00:19:15,440 servant's quarters, Mr. 355 00:19:15,940 --> 00:19:17,360 Lawrence rents a lodging room in 356 00:19:17,860 --> 00:19:18,880 Whitechapel. Do you have the 357 00:19:19,380 --> 00:19:21,520 address? Of course he does. 358 00:19:37,930 --> 00:19:38,730 Mr. Lawrence. 359 00:19:53,780 --> 00:19:56,780 Ladies first.

The doctor isn't sure 363 00:20:31,980 --> 00:20:33,480 what's wrong with him. He has a 364 00:20:33,980 --> 00:20:34,600 fever, breathing problems and 365 00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:35,839 muscle spasms in his neck and 366 00:20:36,339 --> 00:20:38,480 jaw. Sounds like tetanus. 367 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,520 They're considering it. Can't 368 00:20:42,020 --> 00:20:42,560 see any wounds on his body that 369 00:20:43,060 --> 00:20:43,520 would trigger the infection. 370 00:20:44,020 --> 00:20:46,970 Ms. Scarlet. Sir, I have the 371 00:20:47,470 --> 00:20:48,330 coroner's report. Mr. Joseph. 372 00:20:48,830 --> 00:20:49,570 It's believed that the cut he 373 00:20:50,070 --> 00:20:51,010 sustained falling from his horse 374 00:20:51,510 --> 00:20:52,170 may have caused an infection. 375 00:20:52,650 --> 00:20:53,810 The cause of death was given as 376 00:20:54,310 --> 00:20:55,250 cardiac arrest, most likely due 377 00:20:55,750 --> 00:20:57,970 to tetanus. So Joseph and his 378 00:20:58,470 --> 00:20:59,130 butler, both with suspected 379 00:20:59,630 --> 00:21:03,290 tetanus. Bit odd, isn't it? 380 00:21:03,450 --> 00:21:04,970 Given that it's not infectious? 381 00:21:05,450 --> 00:21:07,690 Odd and unlikely. Mr. Potts said 382 00:21:08,190 --> 00:21:08,450 there was something else that 383 00:21:08,950 --> 00:21:11,420 caused those symptoms. Strictly 384 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:12,100 poisoning. 385 00:21:20,340 --> 00:21:21,940 Mr. Wormsley was most keen to 386 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:23,020 hear all about my ideas for 387 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,300 improving the mortuary.

Yes, but losing 420 00:22:46,730 --> 00:22:47,430 Scotland Yard as a client will 421 00:22:47,930 --> 00:22:50,830 be a loss indeed. When you were 422 00:22:51,330 --> 00:22:52,030 a little girl. Please don't say 423 00:22:52,530 --> 00:22:52,990 it. You don't know what I was 424 00:22:53,490 --> 00:22:54,470 going to say. When I was a 425 00:22:54,970 --> 00:22:55,710 little girl, I had a similar 426 00:22:56,210 --> 00:22:57,230 problem. I overcame that problem 427 00:22:57,730 --> 00:22:58,510 and learned a lesson I can use 428 00:22:59,010 --> 00:23:00,560 as an adult. I wasn't going to 429 00:23:01,060 --> 00:23:03,280 say that. Yes, you were. How 430 00:23:03,780 --> 00:23:04,800 many formative experiences can 431 00:23:05,300 --> 00:23:08,080 one child have? I wish you Were 432 00:23:08,580 --> 00:23:09,560 still a child, I'd put you over 433 00:23:10,060 --> 00:23:11,160 my knee for being so rude. 434 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:38,760 You know a gentleman covers his 435 00:23:39,260 --> 00:23:41,600 mouth when he yawns. Gentleman 436 00:23:42,100 --> 00:23:43,280 doesn't stay up all night doing 437 00:23:43,780 --> 00:23:46,960 background checks. What did you 438 00:23:47,460 --> 00:23:49,600 find? Nothing. 439 00:23:53,930 --> 00:23:55,530 Sir Joseph's household stuff 440 00:23:56,030 --> 00:23:59,850 were clean. I'm getting 441 00:24:00,350 --> 00:24:02,450 too old for this. Are you taking 442 00:24:02,950 --> 00:24:04,410 a nap in here? Yes, 443 00:24:06,490 --> 00:24:09,730 if you stop talking. This is a 444 00:24:10,230 --> 00:24:11,370 place of work, not a lodging 445 00:24:19,060 --> 00:24:22,980 Aha. I think I found something. 446 00:24:24,180 --> 00:24:26,660 Just before he died, a large 447 00:24:26,820 --> 00:24:28,700 transfer of money was made from 448 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,020 Sir Joseph's bank account to a 449 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,300 small German bank in the city. 450 00:24:35,700 --> 00:24:36,980 We need to find out who this 451 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,420 bank account belongs to. Come 452 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,000 along. No time to rest. 453 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:46,680 Hurry up. 454 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,040 It was here Mr. Lawrence 455 00:24:52,540 --> 00:24:54,120 collapsed, so I would wager it 456 00:24:54,620 --> 00:24:57,480 was poison. Someone would use 457 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,440 strychnine as their poison of 458 00:24:59,940 --> 00:25:01,760 choice. I imagine they'd put it 459 00:25:02,260 --> 00:25:05,320 in food or drink. Question is, 460 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,000 who would want to poison the 461 00:25:07,500 --> 00:25:08,950 butler and his employer? 462 00:25:16,550 --> 00:25:18,110 I almost told Sophia about us 463 00:25:18,610 --> 00:25:22,230 last night. Well, almost. I'd 464 00:25:22,730 --> 00:25:22,950 like to do it together. 465 00:25:26,390 --> 00:25:28,550 I hope she takes it well. She's 466 00:25:29,050 --> 00:25:30,590 certainly very fond of you. She 467 00:25:31,090 --> 00:25:32,790 thinks you're funny. Funny? 468 00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:35,160 There's an odd funny as an 469 00:25:35,660 --> 00:25:37,280 amusing. Although you are a 470 00:25:37,780 --> 00:25:39,120 little odd. Thank you, 471 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:51,840 Alexander. 472 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:56,920 That's an awful lot of watches 473 00:25:57,420 --> 00:25:58,600 for one man. Especially for 474 00:25:59,100 --> 00:25:59,920 someone on a butler's wage. 475 00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:04,320 What's this? Calling cards. 476 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:08,880 Countess Polchek, 477 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:11,600 Russian embassy. 478 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,040 There has been a recent spate of 479 00:26:19,540 --> 00:26:20,080 robberies in the area. 480 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,440 Ambassador Polchek, I have heard 481 00:26:23,940 --> 00:26:26,980 nothing of these robberies of 482 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,100 which you speak. The thieves 483 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:30,260 have been targeting ladies 484 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:31,100 mostly, which is why Ms. 485 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:32,580 Scarlet is helping Scotland Yard 486 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:34,660 with our inquiries. During our 487 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:35,940 investigations, we were able to 488 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:37,060 recover some of the stolen 489 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,140 items, one of which is this 490 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,580 silver card holder belonging to 491 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,780 Countess Polcheck. Is she a 492 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,780 relative of yours? She's my 493 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,350 wife, but I have no knowledge of 494 00:26:53,510 --> 00:26:56,590 her being robbed. Well, perhaps 495 00:26:57,090 --> 00:26:58,510 we could speak to her. She's not 496 00:26:59,010 --> 00:27:01,310 here. Do you know when she'll be 497 00:27:06,150 --> 00:27:09,110 My wife and I, we have parted 498 00:27:09,610 --> 00:27:11,710 ways. She has returned to 499 00:27:12,210 --> 00:27:14,590 Russia. That is all I wish to 500 00:27:15,090 --> 00:27:17,960 say on the matter. It's not our 501 00:27:18,460 --> 00:27:18,880 intention to cause you 502 00:27:19,380 --> 00:27:20,560 embarrassment or distress, sir, 503 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,080 but could you give us a sense of 504 00:27:23,580 --> 00:27:24,200 your wife's movements in the 505 00:27:24,700 --> 00:27:24,880 last few weeks? 506 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,840 I suppose if I don't tell you, 507 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,400 some gossiping servant will. 508 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,120 She had been seeing a lover. 509 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,400 Sir Joseph Milner. 510 00:27:45,530 --> 00:27:47,730 I can only assume that the 511 00:27:48,230 --> 00:27:49,530 calling cards were stolen from 512 00:27:50,030 --> 00:27:51,690 his residence. You are aware Sir 513 00:27:52,190 --> 00:27:53,850 Joseph passed away last week? I 514 00:27:54,350 --> 00:27:57,770 am. And for full disclosure, I 515 00:27:58,270 --> 00:28:00,090 did visit him few days before he 516 00:28:00,590 --> 00:28:02,370 died. I was going to warn him to 517 00:28:02,870 --> 00:28:06,250 Stay away from my wife. But when 518 00:28:06,750 --> 00:28:08,370 I arrived, he was outside his 519 00:28:08,870 --> 00:28:11,650 house in the middle of some kind 520 00:28:12,150 --> 00:28:14,250 of argument. What kind of 521 00:28:14,750 --> 00:28:17,170 argument? He was on the street 522 00:28:17,490 --> 00:28:18,450 with two men. 523 00:28:20,450 --> 00:28:22,850 They seemed frustrated with him. 524 00:28:23,330 --> 00:28:26,130 One started shouting. I couldn't 525 00:28:26,630 --> 00:28:27,290 understand what they were 526 00:28:27,790 --> 00:28:29,330 saying. It was not in English. 527 00:28:30,530 --> 00:28:33,570 What language was was, 528 00:28:34,210 --> 00:28:36,200 I believe, German. 529 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,160 Name and address of the account 530 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:52,680 holder that Sir Joseph made 531 00:28:53,180 --> 00:28:56,120 payments to. How did you get 532 00:28:56,620 --> 00:28:58,600 that? To charm and charisma. 533 00:29:00,930 --> 00:29:01,930 Alright, fine. I bribed the 534 00:29:02,430 --> 00:29:04,130 teller. The account belongs to a 535 00:29:04,630 --> 00:29:06,490 Mr. Klaus Lang. He's been 536 00:29:06,990 --> 00:29:08,010 visiting the bank every week to 537 00:29:08,510 --> 00:29:10,690 withdraw £100 on each visit. 538 00:29:11,250 --> 00:29:12,610 Always on the same day, always 539 00:29:13,110 --> 00:29:13,890 at the same time, and always 540 00:29:14,390 --> 00:29:16,889 with an associate. So you pay a 541 00:29:17,389 --> 00:29:18,530 visit to this address. I shall 542 00:29:19,030 --> 00:29:19,650 head back to the office to carry 543 00:29:20,150 --> 00:29:20,970 on digging into Sir Joseph's 544 00:29:21,470 --> 00:29:24,370 finances. What? 545 00:29:26,540 --> 00:29:26,780 No. 546 00:29:29,820 --> 00:29:31,540 You're impressed, aren't you? I 547 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,420 can tell. Perhaps. 548 00:29:50,780 --> 00:29:53,930 Sir Joseph did not pay well. I 549 00:29:54,430 --> 00:29:55,090 have no regrets about stealing 550 00:29:55,590 --> 00:29:59,010 from him. One of the items you 551 00:29:59,510 --> 00:30:00,170 stole was a silver case 552 00:30:00,250 --> 00:30:01,610 containing the calling cards of 553 00:30:02,110 --> 00:30:02,970 the Russian ambassador's wife. 554 00:30:04,170 --> 00:30:05,450 She left her bag at the house 555 00:30:05,950 --> 00:30:07,850 one evening. You are aware they 556 00:30:08,350 --> 00:30:09,250 were having an affair? Of 557 00:30:09,750 --> 00:30:11,130 course. She wasn't the first, 558 00:30:11,850 --> 00:30:12,570 believe me. 559 00:30:14,970 --> 00:30:16,650 What have these two German men 560 00:30:17,150 --> 00:30:18,340 Sir Joseph was arguing with the 561 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,660 day before he died. I was not 562 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:22,340 there. It was my day off. 563 00:30:27,380 --> 00:30:28,740 Talk us through the hours before 564 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,100 you became ill. Everything you 565 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,180 did. I finished 566 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:36,900 work about 9 o', clock, then 567 00:30:37,460 --> 00:30:40,020 went back to my lodging room. I 568 00:30:40,180 --> 00:30:42,260 needed some money that I kept 569 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,550 there. I rested a while, smoked 570 00:30:46,050 --> 00:30:48,230 a pipe. Then the next thing I 571 00:30:48,730 --> 00:30:49,350 remember, I was gasping for 572 00:30:49,850 --> 00:30:50,350 breath and everything went 573 00:30:50,850 --> 00:30:53,270 black. Where did you get the 574 00:30:53,770 --> 00:30:57,430 tobacco from? It's from a pouch 575 00:30:57,930 --> 00:30:58,830 I stole from St. Joseph. 576 00:31:19,580 --> 00:31:22,500 Mr. Potts. Barnabas. I'm here 577 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,620 because I have a theory and I'm 578 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:26,220 in need of your advice. Well. 579 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:27,540 And yes, I am aware that I have 580 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:28,980 not given 24 hours notice of my 581 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,300 arrival, and yes, I am aware 582 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:32,540 that there is a strict protocol. 583 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:34,740 Oh, protocol be damned. You're 584 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:36,140 always welcome here, Eliza. 585 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:36,960 Coming, 586 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:40,000 coming. 587 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,400 Stricken would usually be found 588 00:31:47,900 --> 00:31:49,520 in the stomach and intestines of 589 00:31:50,020 --> 00:31:51,880 a cadaver, assuming it had been 590 00:31:52,380 --> 00:31:53,240 ingested, which is the most 591 00:31:53,740 --> 00:31:56,280 common form of poisoning. What 592 00:31:56,780 --> 00:31:58,720 if you inhaled it, say, through 593 00:31:59,220 --> 00:32:01,640 tobacco? Oh, yes, that would 594 00:32:02,140 --> 00:32:05,880 work rather rapidly too. Of 595 00:32:06,380 --> 00:32:06,880 course, the expert in such 596 00:32:07,380 --> 00:32:09,000 matters is Mr. Wormsley, and he 597 00:32:09,500 --> 00:32:10,400 seems rather on edge recently. 598 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,160 Perhaps the joy of my return has 599 00:32:13,660 --> 00:32:15,680 overwhelmed him. Well, I'd 600 00:32:16,180 --> 00:32:16,680 rather we get this conversation 601 00:32:17,180 --> 00:32:19,000 to ourselves. My questions are 602 00:32:19,500 --> 00:32:20,120 related to a rather highly 603 00:32:20,620 --> 00:32:21,599 confidential case, one which 604 00:32:22,099 --> 00:32:22,960 myself and Inspector Blake will 605 00:32:23,460 --> 00:32:24,360 like. Your opinion, and yours 606 00:32:24,860 --> 00:32:27,600 alone. Inspector Blake asked For 607 00:32:28,100 --> 00:32:29,600 me personally, he did. 608 00:32:33,290 --> 00:32:34,650 Then I'm at your disposal. 609 00:32:38,490 --> 00:32:40,370 We shall start with the basics 610 00:32:40,870 --> 00:32:43,210 of toxicology. Dosage, 611 00:32:43,290 --> 00:32:45,050 absorption, exposure. 612 00:32:54,170 --> 00:32:55,530 Pull out anyone with a German 613 00:32:56,030 --> 00:32:56,810 background, particularly those 614 00:32:57,310 --> 00:32:58,320 with computer convictions for 615 00:32:58,820 --> 00:33:01,240 violent crime. Mrs. Potts, 616 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,680 you take the A's, Willows, 617 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,720 the B's. And keep going till we 618 00:33:09,220 --> 00:33:09,640 run out of Alphabet. 619 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:17,600 This is going to be thirsty 620 00:33:18,100 --> 00:33:19,800 work. How about I organize a 621 00:33:20,300 --> 00:33:21,520 nice cup of tea for us all? Oh, 622 00:33:22,020 --> 00:33:22,600 sounds like a very sensible 623 00:33:23,100 --> 00:33:24,420 plan, Mrs. Potts. Thank you. 624 00:33:24,740 --> 00:33:25,140 Right. 625 00:33:32,980 --> 00:33:34,220 I understand the disciplinary 626 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,300 board wrote to you. Yes, sir. 627 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:38,580 Hearings in a couple of days. 628 00:33:39,300 --> 00:33:40,380 How are you feeling about it 629 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,380 all? Haven't slept in a week. 630 00:33:44,100 --> 00:33:47,260 Haven't eaten much either. My 631 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,740 sister says I'm like a bear with 632 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,130 a sore head. Apart from that, 633 00:33:53,630 --> 00:33:56,050 I'm doing fine, sir. Well, I'll 634 00:33:56,550 --> 00:33:57,490 be there to speak for you. And 635 00:33:57,990 --> 00:33:58,650 in the meantime, try not to 636 00:33:59,150 --> 00:34:00,650 dwell on it. My sister also said 637 00:34:01,150 --> 00:34:02,610 that sounds like a wise woman. 638 00:34:03,110 --> 00:34:06,330 Detected by this. I wanted to 639 00:34:06,830 --> 00:34:07,890 give you an update on the case. 640 00:34:09,250 --> 00:34:10,690 Was Sir Joseph murdered? 641 00:34:12,850 --> 00:34:15,530 I believe so, yes. You have 642 00:34:16,030 --> 00:34:18,710 evidence? We're working on it. 643 00:34:19,430 --> 00:34:20,830 Inspector Blake and I will have 644 00:34:21,330 --> 00:34:21,990 a full report for you soon. 645 00:34:26,470 --> 00:34:27,590 Are you in love with him? 646 00:34:29,590 --> 00:34:31,830 Pardon? It's a simple question. 647 00:34:32,630 --> 00:34:34,270 And one that bears no relevance 648 00:34:34,770 --> 00:34:36,750 to the investigation. I'll take 649 00:34:37,250 --> 00:34:38,350 that as a yes. So, may I give 650 00:34:38,850 --> 00:34:41,270 you some advice? As two women 651 00:34:41,510 --> 00:34:42,870 working in the underbelly of 652 00:34:43,370 --> 00:34:44,920 this great city, I am sure we 653 00:34:45,420 --> 00:34:47,320 face similar challenges. One of 654 00:34:47,820 --> 00:34:50,640 which being loneliness. And of 655 00:34:51,140 --> 00:34:52,200 course, each man carries his own 656 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,600 merits when it comes to passing 657 00:34:56,100 --> 00:34:56,800 the short amount of time we have 658 00:34:57,300 --> 00:34:58,959 on this earth. But to love 659 00:34:59,459 --> 00:35:01,240 someone fully, 660 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,720 completely, that would 661 00:35:07,220 --> 00:35:07,560 be a mistake. 662 00:35:11,010 --> 00:35:12,050 For a woman, financial 663 00:35:12,450 --> 00:35:13,890 independence is everything. 664 00:35:16,610 --> 00:35:18,570 Do not make the mistake of 665 00:35:19,070 --> 00:35:21,010 trusting in a man, any man. 666 00:35:22,850 --> 00:35:24,729 They will always put their own 667 00:35:25,229 --> 00:35:27,970 needs above ours, without 668 00:35:28,470 --> 00:35:28,690 exception. 669 00:35:32,210 --> 00:35:33,570 It's a rather bleak view. 670 00:35:35,580 --> 00:35:36,700 And one that I don't share. 671 00:35:42,140 --> 00:35:42,940 Yes, you do. 672 00:35:59,750 --> 00:36:00,070 Yep. 673 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:25,520 It. 674 00:37:13,050 --> 00:37:15,610 I assume one of you is close 675 00:37:16,110 --> 00:37:18,620 line. An account holder. The 676 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,260 bank of Deutschland. The 677 00:37:22,660 --> 00:37:24,380 container. The guilt phone, 678 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,260 sir. Yosef Haltonhalt. 679 00:37:35,380 --> 00:37:36,020 I win. 680 00:37:45,150 --> 00:37:45,790 Gentlemen. 681 00:38:05,550 --> 00:38:06,750 Your address was given to the 682 00:38:07,250 --> 00:38:07,950 bank of Deutschland as a contact 683 00:38:08,450 --> 00:38:09,390 for an account Sir Joseph Milner 684 00:38:09,890 --> 00:38:10,030 was paying into. 685 00:38:15,850 --> 00:38:16,850 Why do you have a photograph of 686 00:38:17,350 --> 00:38:19,130 Sir Joseph Superior? Lord 687 00:38:19,630 --> 00:38:20,570 Powell, the Foreign Secretary. 688 00:38:27,290 --> 00:38:28,530 I believe my associate here 689 00:38:29,030 --> 00:38:32,490 speaks a little German. Do I 690 00:38:32,990 --> 00:38:35,930 have that right? You do, 691 00:38:36,430 --> 00:38:36,980 Inspector Bleeck. 692 00:38:40,410 --> 00:38:41,810 So would you be so kind as to 693 00:38:42,310 --> 00:38:42,850 tell these gentlemen the 694 00:38:43,350 --> 00:38:46,970 following. If they do not 695 00:38:47,470 --> 00:38:49,530 talk, they will be charged with 696 00:38:50,030 --> 00:38:53,290 Sir Joseph Milner's murder, the 697 00:38:53,790 --> 00:38:55,130 penalty for which is death by 698 00:38:55,210 --> 00:38:55,850 hanging. 699 00:39:01,850 --> 00:39:03,500 I don't need to translate, 700 00:39:03,730 --> 00:39:06,530 Inspector. They understand 701 00:39:06,850 --> 00:39:07,730 perfectly. 702 00:39:14,850 --> 00:39:17,770 What do you want to know? Why 703 00:39:18,270 --> 00:39:21,810 did Sir Joseph hire you? They 704 00:39:22,310 --> 00:39:23,650 were hired to kill his superior, 705 00:39:23,730 --> 00:39:25,330 Lord Powell. The Foreign 706 00:39:25,830 --> 00:39:28,250 Secretary. If they are to be 707 00:39:28,750 --> 00:39:29,210 believed, they were given very 708 00:39:29,710 --> 00:39:31,270 little information. Not even a 709 00:39:31,770 --> 00:39:35,470 reason why they were 710 00:39:35,970 --> 00:39:37,190 waiting for Sir Joseph to make 711 00:39:37,690 --> 00:39:39,470 contact. They didn't know he was 712 00:39:39,970 --> 00:39:42,550 dead. The most incompetent 713 00:39:43,050 --> 00:39:44,230 assassins I've ever come across. 714 00:39:44,550 --> 00:39:45,789 It doesn't make sense. If Sir 715 00:39:46,289 --> 00:39:47,790 Joseph would hire such fools for 716 00:39:48,290 --> 00:39:49,830 such a high risk operation. No, 717 00:39:50,330 --> 00:39:52,110 it does not. None of this makes 718 00:39:52,610 --> 00:39:54,790 sense. How did you get on at the 719 00:39:55,290 --> 00:39:58,290 mortuary? According to Mr. 720 00:39:58,790 --> 00:40:00,610 Potts, if someone wished to lace 721 00:40:01,110 --> 00:40:02,290 tobacco with strychnine, they 722 00:40:02,790 --> 00:40:03,490 would first need to dissolve the 723 00:40:03,990 --> 00:40:04,810 strychnine in alcohol, then soak 724 00:40:05,310 --> 00:40:06,130 the tobacco in the solution. 725 00:40:07,730 --> 00:40:08,810 But these days it's harder than 726 00:40:09,310 --> 00:40:09,970 ever to get your hands on it. 727 00:40:10,450 --> 00:40:11,690 Particularly the concentrated 728 00:40:12,190 --> 00:40:12,730 amounts that you need to kill 729 00:40:13,230 --> 00:40:15,370 someone. But you could extract 730 00:40:15,870 --> 00:40:17,690 it from rat poison. You just 731 00:40:18,190 --> 00:40:19,410 need very large quantities. And 732 00:40:19,910 --> 00:40:20,690 no pharmacy would be allowed to 733 00:40:21,190 --> 00:40:22,810 sell such amounts. Well, 734 00:40:23,310 --> 00:40:24,050 exactly. You need to get it from 735 00:40:24,550 --> 00:40:25,290 a specialised pharmaceutical 736 00:40:25,790 --> 00:40:26,610 company. Which is what Mr. 737 00:40:27,110 --> 00:40:27,690 Potts does to keep the rats 738 00:40:28,190 --> 00:40:28,890 under control at the mortuary. 739 00:40:29,390 --> 00:40:30,010 We need to pay a visit to that 740 00:40:30,510 --> 00:40:31,130 company, find out who else they 741 00:40:31,630 --> 00:40:34,050 supply. Already done. Five 742 00:40:34,550 --> 00:40:35,730 businesses that receive bulk 743 00:40:36,230 --> 00:40:36,970 deliveries of rat poison. 744 00:40:41,210 --> 00:40:42,490 You and Moses work through the 745 00:40:42,990 --> 00:40:43,690 list. Willows, you're with me. 746 00:40:44,190 --> 00:40:44,890 Let's see if a few hours in the 747 00:40:45,390 --> 00:40:45,850 cells have made our German 748 00:40:46,350 --> 00:40:46,970 friends even more cooperative. 749 00:41:05,700 --> 00:41:07,060 The foreman said this business 750 00:41:07,140 --> 00:41:08,500 closed down years ago. 751 00:41:09,220 --> 00:41:10,980 Deliveries afforded onto another 752 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,220 premises. I wrote down the 753 00:41:17,510 --> 00:41:18,550 All right, spit it out. 754 00:41:20,950 --> 00:41:23,110 What? Something is on your mind? 755 00:41:25,030 --> 00:41:27,990 Someone just. Just gave me some 756 00:41:28,490 --> 00:41:29,030 unwanted advice. 757 00:41:31,830 --> 00:41:33,430 Never listen to advice. 758 00:41:35,990 --> 00:41:39,840 Not even mine. So where 759 00:41:40,340 --> 00:41:40,960 do the foreman say to go? 760 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:48,600 Find Inspector Blake. Tell him 761 00:41:49,100 --> 00:41:49,520 to meet me at this address. 762 00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,000 Urgently. You recognize it? 763 00:41:52,500 --> 00:41:54,480 Please, I do. 764 00:42:04,940 --> 00:42:05,180 It. 765 00:42:44,750 --> 00:42:45,470 Rat poison. 766 00:42:56,190 --> 00:42:57,410 Good evening, Ms. Collett. 767 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:02,680 It was you who killed Sir 768 00:43:03,180 --> 00:43:03,240 Joseph. 769 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:10,440 Inspector Blake is on his way. 770 00:43:11,720 --> 00:43:12,840 We won't cover this up, if 771 00:43:13,340 --> 00:43:13,720 that's what you're thinking. 772 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,320 Cover it up? I want quite the 773 00:43:17,820 --> 00:43:19,160 opposite. I want a full written 774 00:43:19,660 --> 00:43:20,200 report handed in to the 775 00:43:20,700 --> 00:43:21,720 Superintendent at Scotland Yard. 776 00:43:24,930 --> 00:43:25,890 I don't understand. 777 00:43:28,930 --> 00:43:30,690 There are many in our government 778 00:43:31,010 --> 00:43:32,250 that believe that Germany will 779 00:43:32,750 --> 00:43:33,490 soon be a threat to the national 780 00:43:33,990 --> 00:43:35,490 interest. Sir Joseph was one of 781 00:43:35,990 --> 00:43:37,130 them. But his superior, the 782 00:43:37,630 --> 00:43:38,090 Foreign Secretary, did not 783 00:43:38,590 --> 00:43:40,570 agree. Which is why Sir Joseph 784 00:43:41,070 --> 00:43:42,490 hired two lower level assassins 785 00:43:42,990 --> 00:43:44,370 to kill him. Their only 786 00:43:44,870 --> 00:43:45,530 qualification is that they were 787 00:43:46,030 --> 00:43:49,620 German. When it was 788 00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:51,220 discovered they were German, it 789 00:43:51,720 --> 00:43:52,380 would have forced England into 790 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,260 war with Germany. War makes 791 00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:56,700 money for those in high places, 792 00:43:57,980 --> 00:43:59,540 regardless of the cost of human 793 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,420 life. My conscience would not 794 00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:03,260 allow such a thing. 795 00:44:06,620 --> 00:44:08,260 So you hired Inspector Blake and 796 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:10,180 I to get the evidence in black 797 00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,980 and white. My hope is that your 798 00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:15,620 report will be read by the few 799 00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:17,460 decent men left in the upper 800 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:19,890 echelons of government. I want 801 00:44:20,390 --> 00:44:21,570 them to know what Sir Joseph had 802 00:44:22,070 --> 00:44:23,570 planned and why I killed him. 803 00:44:27,490 --> 00:44:31,170 You acted alone? If my superiors 804 00:44:31,670 --> 00:44:32,250 knew what I had done, it would 805 00:44:32,750 --> 00:44:33,170 have been covered up. 806 00:44:35,890 --> 00:44:38,330 You're hanged for this. Which is 807 00:44:38,830 --> 00:44:39,450 why I shall leave London 808 00:44:39,950 --> 00:44:40,930 tonight. I've amassed quite a 809 00:44:41,430 --> 00:44:42,770 fortune. It's about time I 810 00:44:43,270 --> 00:44:43,570 enjoyed spending it. 811 00:44:47,020 --> 00:44:48,460 You have made your decision 812 00:44:48,780 --> 00:44:49,980 about Inspector Blake? 813 00:44:52,780 --> 00:44:56,220 I won't be giving him up. Not 814 00:44:56,720 --> 00:44:56,860 for anything. 815 00:45:00,540 --> 00:45:02,780 In that case, your fee will not 816 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:04,100 be twice the normal rate as 817 00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:08,260 agreed. It will be a great deal 818 00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:12,950 more. Why? Because you're 819 00:45:13,450 --> 00:45:15,790 going to need it. And because I 820 00:45:16,290 --> 00:45:18,070 like you, Miss Scarlett. You're 821 00:45:18,570 --> 00:45:22,030 good at your job. Use the money 822 00:45:22,530 --> 00:45:25,190 however you see fit. But please, 823 00:45:26,950 --> 00:45:27,830 be ambitious. 824 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:41,640 I just said you were here. What 825 00:45:42,140 --> 00:45:44,840 happened? You're gonna need a 826 00:45:45,340 --> 00:45:45,440 drink first. 827 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:50,560 I don't agree with what Ms. 828 00:45:51,060 --> 00:45:51,800 Scott did, but she did it for 829 00:45:52,300 --> 00:45:54,320 her country. I told the 830 00:45:54,820 --> 00:45:56,240 superintendent that I, like Ms. 831 00:45:56,740 --> 00:45:57,920 Scott, have no taste for war. 832 00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:00,600 Young men dying painful deaths 833 00:46:01,100 --> 00:46:02,700 for little purpose. Did he 834 00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:04,020 listen? He did. 835 00:46:06,420 --> 00:46:08,340 Turns out he had a son who died 836 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:12,860 in Crimea. He assured 837 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:13,860 me my report had gone all the 838 00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:14,660 way up to the Prime Minister, 839 00:46:14,980 --> 00:46:16,340 who, of course, wishes to keep 840 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:18,220 it out the public eye. How can 841 00:46:18,720 --> 00:46:20,380 he ensure that? A hefty 842 00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:21,220 promotion for the super. 843 00:46:25,220 --> 00:46:26,660 When will you tell him about us? 844 00:46:29,470 --> 00:46:32,390 I won't, because there's no 845 00:46:32,890 --> 00:46:36,870 need. What with 846 00:46:37,370 --> 00:46:37,910 his promotion, he'll be leaving 847 00:46:38,410 --> 00:46:39,950 Scotland Yard and there'll be a 848 00:46:40,450 --> 00:46:41,990 new superintendent. Well, who 849 00:46:42,490 --> 00:46:44,590 would that be? Me. 850 00:46:46,830 --> 00:46:49,310 We. You're going to be the next 851 00:46:49,810 --> 00:46:52,550 superintendent. Is that what you 852 00:46:56,940 --> 00:47:00,700 Nice office job, more money, 853 00:47:00,940 --> 00:47:03,820 civilized hours. No more getting 854 00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,460 shot at. I'd say that's quite 855 00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:07,020 appealing. 856 00:47:10,540 --> 00:47:13,220 And you can carry on working for 857 00:47:13,720 --> 00:47:15,140 Scotland Yard, as I will no 858 00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:16,460 longer be the inspector hiring 859 00:47:21,030 --> 00:47:22,390 I. I don't know what to say. 860 00:47:23,030 --> 00:47:26,630 How about Alexander? 861 00:47:27,130 --> 00:47:28,430 You are the best thing that's 862 00:47:28,930 --> 00:47:29,910 ever happened to me. Certainly 863 00:47:30,410 --> 00:47:31,390 the most handsome. And I'm very 864 00:47:31,890 --> 00:47:34,630 lucky to have met you. A little 865 00:47:35,130 --> 00:47:38,190 long winded, but broadly 866 00:47:38,690 --> 00:47:41,590 correct. So does that mean that 867 00:47:42,090 --> 00:47:42,750 Willows will no longer be 868 00:47:43,250 --> 00:47:44,760 dismissed? Was the first thing I 869 00:47:45,260 --> 00:47:47,160 insisted upon, as well as 870 00:47:47,660 --> 00:47:49,560 another small matter. But the 871 00:47:50,060 --> 00:47:50,800 new clerical manager should be 872 00:47:51,300 --> 00:47:54,120 of my choosing. I think he'll 873 00:47:54,620 --> 00:47:55,040 approve of my choice. 874 00:48:12,250 --> 00:48:13,610 Good morning, Mrs. Potts. Good 875 00:48:14,110 --> 00:48:15,050 morning, detective willows. 876 00:48:28,170 --> 00:48:30,970 To my clever wife on her new 877 00:48:31,470 --> 00:48:34,730 promotion. To Ivy. Ivy. 878 00:48:37,050 --> 00:48:37,690 Congratulations. 879 00:48:40,250 --> 00:48:42,730 Thank you, Barnabas. And thank 880 00:48:43,230 --> 00:48:44,290 you, Inspector Blake, for having 881 00:48:44,790 --> 00:48:48,290 such faith in me. This calls for 882 00:48:48,790 --> 00:48:51,090 More wine as he does it. My 883 00:48:51,590 --> 00:48:52,410 beloved. That'll be your third. 884 00:48:52,910 --> 00:48:54,970 And I intend on having a fort. 885 00:48:57,210 --> 00:48:58,290 I'll go and get some more 886 00:48:58,790 --> 00:49:00,370 bottles from the kitchen. Will 887 00:49:00,870 --> 00:49:01,690 you assist me and such me? Of 888 00:49:02,190 --> 00:49:02,410 course, Miss Scarlet. 889 00:49:05,620 --> 00:49:07,540 Taste. Delicious. Thank you. 890 00:49:08,980 --> 00:49:09,620 Cheers. 891 00:49:17,140 --> 00:49:18,619 I taunts a fear that we'd go 892 00:49:19,119 --> 00:49:20,700 somewhere nice for lunch one day 893 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,300 this week. The three of us. You 894 00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,460 want to tell her about us? It's 895 00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:27,620 time. I already know. 896 00:49:30,510 --> 00:49:33,230 What do you already know? That 897 00:49:33,730 --> 00:49:34,950 Eliza's your special lady friend 898 00:49:35,450 --> 00:49:35,950 and that you love her. 899 00:49:38,750 --> 00:49:42,270 Oh, well, yes. 900 00:49:42,670 --> 00:49:44,229 Yes, that's precisely what I 901 00:49:44,729 --> 00:49:46,950 wanted to tell you. But can we 902 00:49:47,450 --> 00:49:50,830 still go to luncheon? Of course 903 00:49:51,330 --> 00:49:55,120 we can. But not tomorrow. I have 904 00:49:55,620 --> 00:49:57,600 a very busy day. I'm going to 905 00:49:58,100 --> 00:49:59,760 hire some new detectives. Maybe 906 00:50:00,260 --> 00:50:01,320 you should hire Sophia. She 907 00:50:01,820 --> 00:50:02,280 certainly has very impressive 908 00:50:02,780 --> 00:50:04,040 powers of deduction. You're 909 00:50:04,540 --> 00:50:04,920 silly, Papa. 910 00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:08,600 I know. 911 00:50:23,990 --> 00:50:25,830 Ready for the big day? Mm. 912 00:50:27,590 --> 00:50:29,390 Now, remember to make clear that 913 00:50:29,890 --> 00:50:30,870 the positions entail working 914 00:50:31,370 --> 00:50:33,470 long hours. What if any two 915 00:50:33,970 --> 00:50:35,269 candidates turn up? Sometimes 916 00:50:35,769 --> 00:50:37,110 even on a Sunday? Well, only one 917 00:50:37,610 --> 00:50:38,990 turns up. And that we do not 918 00:50:39,490 --> 00:50:40,910 offer overtime. Well, no one 919 00:50:41,410 --> 00:50:44,550 turns up, Eliza. 920 00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,840 All will be well.
