00:00:54,383 --> 00:00:57,200
- Ten o'clock and it is already 90 degrees.
- Nothing as cooling
3
00:00:57,202 --> 00:00:59,929
as a genuine snowball straight
from the streets of Baltimore.
4
00:00:59,988 --> 00:01:03,790
- I recommend the egg custard.
- Then that is what I shall have.
5
00:01:03,825 --> 00:01:07,260
Last chance to be part
of the lucky, lucky few.
6
00:01:07,294 --> 00:01:10,129
Just one c... oh, thank you, sir.
7
00:01:10,164 --> 00:01:12,966
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. No penny, no show.
8
00:01:15,436 --> 00:01:17,437
Thought so.
9
00:01:17,472 --> 00:01:21,107
Beautiful ladies in
beautiful bathing costumes.
10
00:01:21,141 --> 00:01:22,608
Mr. Alexander,
11
00:01:22,642 --> 00:01:24,777
- Katie isn't here.
- Well, too bad for her.
12
00:01:24,811 --> 00:01:26,679
Oh, please, it isn't like her to be late.
13
00:01:26,713 --> 00:01:28,714
You've got 5 minutes,
and then I start the show
14
00:01:28,749 --> 00:01:31,517
without the both of you. Beautiful ladies
15
00:01:31,551 --> 00:01:34,620
in beautiful bathing
costumes! You try that again
16
00:01:34,654 --> 00:01:36,990
and you'll get a matching set
of black eyes, not that I don't
17
00:01:37,024 --> 00:01:39,492
admire your initiative.
Now get out of here.
18
00:01:42,161 --> 00:01:46,599
Beautiful ladies in
beautiful bathing costumes!
19
00:01:52,906 --> 00:01:55,707
Hey! You little ruffians!
20
00:01:55,741 --> 00:01:57,876
Away with you, or you
won't live to regret it!
21
00:02:06,552 --> 00:02:08,053
Oy!
22
00:02:28,506 --> 00:02:31,508
Oh, maybe I've had enough.
23
00:02:31,543 --> 00:02:34,245
(woman screaming)
24
00:02:34,279 --> 00:02:37,114
Let me through, please!
Toronto Constabulary.
25
00:02:37,149 --> 00:02:39,216
Excuse me. Excuse me, ladies,
26
00:02:39,251 --> 00:02:42,186
- excuse me.
- Oh, my God, Katie.
27
00:02:42,220 --> 00:02:44,521
What could have happened to her?
28
00:02:44,556 --> 00:02:46,557
Who could have done this to her?
29
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:55,903
Bloody hell.
30
00:03:02,389 --> 00:03:05,658
Sirs, Dr. Grace was rather
overwhelmed at the morgue,
31
00:03:05,692 --> 00:03:08,694
but I believe I've found
a suitable replacement.
32
00:03:08,729 --> 00:03:11,063
- Julia.
- I had the morning off
33
00:03:11,098 --> 00:03:13,699
and could think of no better way
to escape this blistering heat
34
00:03:13,734 --> 00:03:16,836
than at the beach. As it
seems did the inspector.
35
00:03:19,006 --> 00:03:20,973
Margaret and the boys were at her sister's.
36
00:03:21,008 --> 00:03:23,142
It seemed a good idea at the time.
37
00:03:23,176 --> 00:03:24,777
This is Katherine Buchanan.
38
00:03:24,811 --> 00:03:27,546
She was found by a Miss Elaine
Lawson, a fellow contestant
39
00:03:27,580 --> 00:03:30,983
- in the Miss Purity competition.
- Where is Miss Elaine Lawson now?
40
00:03:31,018 --> 00:03:32,985
She's recovering from
a fainting spell, sir,
41
00:03:33,020 --> 00:03:36,889
in the Miss Purity tent. She's
too unwell to speak to us yet.
42
00:03:36,923 --> 00:03:39,924
Drowning is a definite possibility.
43
00:03:41,927 --> 00:03:43,662
This is unusual.
44
00:03:43,696 --> 00:03:47,466
Good Lord. Is that an animal bite?
45
00:03:47,500 --> 00:03:49,701
From a rather large animal, it seems.
46
00:03:49,735 --> 00:03:53,705
- Could that be what killed her?
- Dr. Grace would have to determine that.
47
00:03:53,739 --> 00:03:56,374
Crabtree, get the body back to the morgue.
48
00:03:56,408 --> 00:03:59,177
Make this post-mortem Dr.
Grace's highest priority.
49
00:03:59,211 --> 00:04:01,345
And round up the rest of the lads. Oh,
50
00:04:01,380 --> 00:04:04,883
- and, uh, fetch my work suit as quick as you can.
- Sir, will do.
51
00:04:04,917 --> 00:04:07,485
I'll take my leave as well. Gentlemen.
52
00:04:07,519 --> 00:04:09,154
Doctor, thank you.
53
00:04:11,923 --> 00:04:13,658
Uh, Murdoch, I...
54
00:04:13,692 --> 00:04:15,759
(Murdoch clears his throat.)
55
00:04:15,794 --> 00:04:18,296
Look, I, uh, think I saw something earlier.
56
00:04:18,330 --> 00:04:19,797
In the water.
57
00:04:19,831 --> 00:04:21,799
What did you see?
58
00:04:21,833 --> 00:04:23,301
I don't know.
59
00:04:23,335 --> 00:04:25,336
Something I've never seen before.
60
00:04:27,338 --> 00:04:29,639
It was a monster, a bloody sea monster,
61
00:04:29,674 --> 00:04:31,975
with a mouth large enough to do this.
62
00:04:32,010 --> 00:04:34,812
Sir, perhaps you should get out of the sun.
63
00:04:34,846 --> 00:04:37,480
I know how it sounds, Murdoch...
64
00:04:37,515 --> 00:04:39,817
but I saw what I saw.
65
00:04:39,851 --> 00:04:42,352
And what I saw killed this poor girl.
66
00:04:45,223 --> 00:04:47,524
(doorbell ringing)
67
00:04:57,134 --> 00:05:00,269
- Hello, Emily.
- Hello.
68
00:05:00,303 --> 00:05:03,773
Oh, my goodness. It looks
like the plague has struck.
69
00:05:03,807 --> 00:05:06,109
It's this unrelenting heat wave.
70
00:05:06,143 --> 00:05:07,473
Every John Doe in the city
71
00:05:07,474 --> 00:05:09,249
is being sent here until
they can be claimed.
72
00:05:09,579 --> 00:05:13,049
These deaths are just from the heat.
73
00:05:13,083 --> 00:05:16,952
This one died of dehydration;
this one, asphyxiation;
74
00:05:16,986 --> 00:05:20,155
and this bright spark rolled
off his roof while sleeping,
75
00:05:20,189 --> 00:05:23,626
- fell 4 stories to his death.
- That's terribly sad.
76
00:05:23,660 --> 00:05:25,160
It is that.
77
00:05:27,163 --> 00:05:30,633
- George, what are you dripping on my floor?
- Oh, I'm sorry.
78
00:05:30,667 --> 00:05:33,835
This is a snowball, from
Baltimore, apparently.
79
00:05:33,870 --> 00:05:35,837
I didn't go to Baltimore to get this one;
80
00:05:35,872 --> 00:05:38,140
I purchased it at the beach.
81
00:05:38,174 --> 00:05:41,143
I don't think they travel very well.
82
00:05:41,177 --> 00:05:44,512
Well, it was nice of you to think of me.
83
00:05:48,717 --> 00:05:50,651
Would you mind bringing her straight
84
00:05:50,652 --> 00:05:53,020
- into the cold chamber for me?
- Of course.
85
00:05:56,024 --> 00:05:58,092
Ahh, cold air.
86
00:05:58,126 --> 00:06:01,329
Likely the only cool
place left in the city.
87
00:06:01,363 --> 00:06:03,431
May I have her name for the foot indexer?
88
00:06:03,465 --> 00:06:06,133
Katie Buchanan.
89
00:06:06,168 --> 00:06:08,502
I really should be
getting back to the beach.
90
00:06:16,178 --> 00:06:18,312
Has there been a corpse on this?
91
00:06:18,346 --> 00:06:20,014
No, George.
92
00:06:22,150 --> 00:06:24,884
Right, lads. We've got
a lot of ground to cover,
93
00:06:24,919 --> 00:06:27,987
and the sooner the better.
We don't want to miss out
94
00:06:28,022 --> 00:06:29,823
on any potential witnesses.
95
00:06:29,857 --> 00:06:32,959
Ah, about time, bugalugs.
96
00:06:32,993 --> 00:06:35,829
Sir, it's difficult to
move quickly in this heat.
97
00:06:35,863 --> 00:06:39,165
In fact, may we proceed
without our helmets today, sir?
98
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,001
- No, Crabtree, you may not.
- But sir,
99
00:06:42,036 --> 00:06:45,171
the reverend at St. James' is allowing
women to church without their hats.
100
00:06:45,206 --> 00:06:47,841
The men aren't even wearing
their jackets. Surely we...
101
00:06:47,875 --> 00:06:50,710
Surely we, as public servants,
can rise above the temperature.
102
00:06:50,744 --> 00:06:52,712
Like I learned to in Afghanistan.
103
00:06:52,746 --> 00:06:54,914
- Oh, Afghanistan...
- You think this is hot?
104
00:06:54,949 --> 00:06:57,616
This is a bloody blizzard by comparison.
105
00:06:57,651 --> 00:07:00,219
Helmets on, jackets buttoned.
106
00:07:00,253 --> 00:07:02,722
Thank you. Oh, and, lads,
107
00:07:02,756 --> 00:07:06,659
remember to ask about any possible
sightings of a monster in the lake.
108
00:07:06,693 --> 00:07:08,661
- A lake monster, sir?
- Yes, Crabtree,
109
00:07:08,695 --> 00:07:12,364
a lake monster. Well, carry on, constables.
110
00:07:16,970 --> 00:07:19,838
Excuse me. Are you Mr. Mason Alexander?
111
00:07:19,873 --> 00:07:22,574
Of Alexander Soaps. Yes, sir.
112
00:07:22,608 --> 00:07:26,411
- I understand Miss Buchanan was in your charge?
- Ah, yes,
113
00:07:26,445 --> 00:07:28,680
she was a competitor in our competition
114
00:07:28,714 --> 00:07:31,449
to find the new face of Alexander Soap...
115
00:07:31,484 --> 00:07:34,552
public appearances,
advertisement campaigns,
116
00:07:34,587 --> 00:07:37,188
a suite of rooms at the
Queen's Hotel for a year,
117
00:07:37,222 --> 00:07:39,524
- and a grand prize of $100.
- The Miss Purity competition.
118
00:07:39,558 --> 00:07:43,327
Yes, a city wide search for
a girl as pure as our soap.
119
00:07:43,362 --> 00:07:45,296
That Buchanan girl was a front-runner.
120
00:07:45,330 --> 00:07:47,899
It's too bad. Great
set of pins on that one.
121
00:07:47,933 --> 00:07:51,435
- When did you last see Miss Buchanan?
- Yesterday.
122
00:07:51,469 --> 00:07:54,972
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have a competition to run.
123
00:07:55,007 --> 00:07:58,575
Oh, uh, where might I find Elaine Lawson?
124
00:07:58,610 --> 00:08:00,744
Inside. She'll be the
one crying her eyes out.
125
00:08:00,779 --> 00:08:02,245
Between you and me,
126
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,549
those puffy eyes aren't
doing her any favours.
127
00:08:05,583 --> 00:08:07,551
It wasn't like Katie to be late.
128
00:08:07,585 --> 00:08:09,553
I went looking for her.
129
00:08:09,587 --> 00:08:12,756
Especially for the talent competition.
130
00:08:12,791 --> 00:08:15,426
She had the most beautiful singing voice.
131
00:08:15,460 --> 00:08:17,628
All I can do is juggle knives.
132
00:08:19,630 --> 00:08:21,764
And you found her?
133
00:08:21,799 --> 00:08:24,267
Yes, floating in the water.
134
00:08:24,302 --> 00:08:27,770
Some boys pulled her
out, but it was too late.
135
00:08:27,805 --> 00:08:30,040
Had Miss Buchanan been upset lately?
136
00:08:30,074 --> 00:08:31,975
Well, of course.
137
00:08:32,009 --> 00:08:35,778
Katie's childhood sweetheart had left
her for her best friend, Marie Nicholson,
138
00:08:35,813 --> 00:08:37,580
if you can believe it.
139
00:08:37,614 --> 00:08:39,315
Without a word of warning.
140
00:08:39,349 --> 00:08:40,817
Indeed?
141
00:08:40,851 --> 00:08:44,019
Katie and James were
destined to be together.
142
00:08:44,054 --> 00:08:47,690
Marie is a horrid girl. I
can't understand it myself.
143
00:08:47,724 --> 00:08:51,260
When did you last see Miss Buchanan?
144
00:08:51,294 --> 00:08:54,263
Yesterday, about 5 o'clock.
145
00:08:54,297 --> 00:08:56,531
Normally we all go back
to the city together,
146
00:08:56,566 --> 00:08:58,467
but after the row Katie had with Marie,
147
00:08:58,501 --> 00:09:00,469
she wanted to stay a while longer.
148
00:09:00,503 --> 00:09:03,105
It was so hot, I didn't
think anything of it.
149
00:09:03,139 --> 00:09:05,640
What was the row about?
150
00:09:05,675 --> 00:09:08,076
I was too far away to hear,
151
00:09:08,110 --> 00:09:10,712
but it wasn't like Katie to quarrel.
152
00:09:10,746 --> 00:09:14,883
And where might I find this Marie now?
153
00:09:14,917 --> 00:09:17,953
With James, I'm sure. James Bennett.
154
00:09:17,987 --> 00:09:20,021
He runs the snowball stand.
155
00:09:20,055 --> 00:09:21,523
I see.
156
00:09:21,557 --> 00:09:23,525
Thank you, Miss Lawson.
157
00:09:34,303 --> 00:09:37,071
Henry, any sign of life?
158
00:09:37,106 --> 00:09:39,207
George.
159
00:09:44,579 --> 00:09:46,947
Excuse me, sir.
160
00:09:46,982 --> 00:09:49,049
Captain Horatio Squires.
161
00:09:49,083 --> 00:09:54,054
- How can I help the constabulary?
- Do you know a Katherine Buchanan?
162
00:09:54,133 --> 00:09:56,101
The dead girl?
163
00:09:56,135 --> 00:09:58,570
I'd seen her around the
beach the past few days.
164
00:09:58,604 --> 00:10:00,572
When did you see her last?
165
00:10:00,606 --> 00:10:02,207
I couldn't say.
166
00:10:02,241 --> 00:10:03,808
Why?
167
00:10:03,842 --> 00:10:06,744
Captain Squires, have you...
168
00:10:06,779 --> 00:10:09,581
seen anything strange this morning?
169
00:10:09,615 --> 00:10:11,583
Strange?
170
00:10:11,617 --> 00:10:13,318
How do you mean?
171
00:10:13,352 --> 00:10:14,919
George.
172
00:10:14,954 --> 00:10:18,456
Uh, have you seen a...
a creature of any kind?
173
00:10:18,490 --> 00:10:20,692
- Creature?
- Never mind.
174
00:10:20,726 --> 00:10:23,628
- I'm sure you haven't.
- Yes, I have. Out on the lake.
175
00:10:23,662 --> 00:10:25,797
Are you quite sure?
176
00:10:25,831 --> 00:10:29,667
George, surely you aren't
taking this old codger seriously?
177
00:10:29,702 --> 00:10:31,168
Old codger?
178
00:10:31,203 --> 00:10:34,238
I served in Her Majesty's Navy!
179
00:10:34,272 --> 00:10:37,274
I know a water monster when I see it.
180
00:10:37,309 --> 00:10:42,946
You mark my words: this
beach isn't safe anymore.
181
00:10:42,981 --> 00:10:46,283
(man): There you go. Thank you.
182
00:10:46,318 --> 00:10:48,284
You're sweating so much in this heat...
183
00:10:48,319 --> 00:10:52,122
Mr. Bennett, is it?
Detective William Murdoch,
184
00:10:52,156 --> 00:10:53,790
Toronto Constabulary.
185
00:10:53,825 --> 00:10:57,828
I understand that you
knew Katherine Buchanan?
186
00:10:57,862 --> 00:11:01,098
Yes, I knew her. I
can't believe she's dead.
187
00:11:01,132 --> 00:11:03,799
And you must be Marie Nicholson?
188
00:11:03,834 --> 00:11:06,035
Do you know what happened to dear Katie?
189
00:11:06,069 --> 00:11:08,971
She was my best friend.
I'm absolutely heartbroken.
190
00:11:09,006 --> 00:11:13,042
Miss Nicholson, I understand
you and Miss Buchanan were
191
00:11:13,076 --> 00:11:15,044
arguing shortly before her death.
192
00:11:15,078 --> 00:11:16,679
What was discussed?
193
00:11:16,713 --> 00:11:19,482
Oh, it's so silly now. She was wearing
194
00:11:19,517 --> 00:11:22,384
the same hair ribbon as I
was and refused to change it.
195
00:11:22,418 --> 00:11:25,554
Is that all that was discussed?
196
00:11:25,588 --> 00:11:27,156
Are you sure...
197
00:11:27,190 --> 00:11:29,291
Mr. Bennett here didn't
enter the conversation?
198
00:11:29,325 --> 00:11:31,160
No. Just the ribbon.
199
00:11:33,163 --> 00:11:35,798
Miss Nicholson, I must insist
that you be entirely truthful
200
00:11:35,832 --> 00:11:37,799
- with me...
- My dear.
201
00:11:37,833 --> 00:11:40,211
- It's far too hot to be exerting yourself.
- Excuse me.
202
00:11:40,212 --> 00:11:41,212
How embarrassing.
203
00:11:41,337 --> 00:11:43,972
- Are you quite recovered?
- Detective, could you
204
00:11:44,006 --> 00:11:46,441
please give Marie a moment to rest?
205
00:11:46,476 --> 00:11:49,178
Certainly. Mr. Bennett, I understand
206
00:11:49,212 --> 00:11:52,548
you were courting Miss Buchanan,
and only very recently parted ways?
207
00:11:52,582 --> 00:11:55,064
Entirely because of
Katie's shameful behaviour.
208
00:11:55,071 --> 00:11:56,520
She wanted to win the competition
209
00:11:56,521 --> 00:11:58,507
and was flirting with a
judge to make that happen.
210
00:11:58,854 --> 00:12:01,489
Poor James just couldn't suffer any longer.
211
00:12:01,523 --> 00:12:04,458
- Marie.
- That's him there.
212
00:12:07,697 --> 00:12:10,431
- His name is Leslie.
- Uh, yes, I know.
213
00:12:10,465 --> 00:12:13,967
Leslie Garland. We're
acquainted. Thank you.
214
00:12:18,139 --> 00:12:20,007
Detective.
215
00:12:20,041 --> 00:12:22,510
I'm not quite sure how to put this, but...
216
00:12:22,544 --> 00:12:24,812
the inspector is startling
several beach-goers
217
00:12:24,846 --> 00:12:28,548
with a terrifying account
of this alleged monster.
218
00:12:28,583 --> 00:12:31,118
Has anyone corroborated his sighting?
219
00:12:31,152 --> 00:12:33,453
Only one person definitively,
the chap who lives
220
00:12:33,487 --> 00:12:36,857
in this house up there, a Captain Squires.
221
00:12:36,891 --> 00:12:39,059
But he's... you know,
222
00:12:39,094 --> 00:12:41,895
he's a bit... well, he's old, sir.
223
00:12:41,930 --> 00:12:44,197
You believe him to be
an unreliable witness?
224
00:12:44,232 --> 00:12:47,834
It's hard to say. Sir, can I
ask you a personal question?
225
00:12:47,868 --> 00:12:51,638
- Yes.
- Well, how is it that you don't feel the heat?
226
00:12:51,672 --> 00:12:54,874
I assure you, George, I
am quite uncomfortable.
227
00:12:54,908 --> 00:12:57,977
Well, sir, it's just that I'm fairly
soaked through with sweat here,
228
00:12:58,011 --> 00:13:00,046
and you've nary a hair out of place.
229
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,314
I believe in propriety, George,
230
00:13:02,349 --> 00:13:03,850
no matter the temperature.
231
00:13:08,789 --> 00:13:11,924
- Mr. Garland.
- Detective.
232
00:13:11,959 --> 00:13:13,926
You look somewhat overdressed.
233
00:13:13,961 --> 00:13:15,927
Not a social outing, I take it?
234
00:13:15,962 --> 00:13:18,697
(Murdoch clears his throat.)
Mr. Garland, I understand
235
00:13:18,732 --> 00:13:21,333
that you are a judge in
the Miss Purity competition?
236
00:13:21,368 --> 00:13:22,834
That? Oh, yes,
237
00:13:22,869 --> 00:13:25,604
- I suppose so.
- And especially friendly with
238
00:13:25,639 --> 00:13:28,240
one of the competitors,
a Miss Katherine Buchanan?
239
00:13:28,275 --> 00:13:31,143
Detective, all these
girls are friendly with me.
240
00:13:31,177 --> 00:13:34,012
They all want to win, and
I'm an impressionable sort.
241
00:13:34,046 --> 00:13:37,482
Were you courting Miss Buchanan?
242
00:13:37,516 --> 00:13:40,351
Honestly, I asked sweet Katie
to dinner, but she declined.
243
00:13:40,386 --> 00:13:41,853
She had no interest in me,
244
00:13:41,888 --> 00:13:43,855
despite my best efforts.
245
00:13:43,890 --> 00:13:45,857
That's not what I've been told.
246
00:13:45,892 --> 00:13:48,760
Perhaps not, but it's
most certainly the truth.
247
00:13:48,794 --> 00:13:50,995
And where were you last night?
248
00:13:51,029 --> 00:13:53,364
A gentleman never tells.
249
00:13:53,399 --> 00:13:55,866
Ladies, where were we?
250
00:13:55,901 --> 00:13:57,835
Gorgeous.
251
00:13:59,905 --> 00:14:03,941
Elaine Lawson is a competitor
in the Miss Purity competition,
252
00:14:03,975 --> 00:14:06,310
but by all accounts not likely to win.
253
00:14:06,344 --> 00:14:09,313
She herself admitted that
Miss Buchanan is the favourite.
254
00:14:09,347 --> 00:14:13,017
You think this Miss Lawson wanted
255
00:14:13,051 --> 00:14:16,386
to eliminate her competition.
256
00:14:16,421 --> 00:14:18,455
(Murdoch clears his throat.) Possibly.
257
00:14:18,489 --> 00:14:20,724
There's also a Marie Nicholson.
258
00:14:20,758 --> 00:14:23,827
She was seen arguing with the
victim shortly before her death.
259
00:14:23,861 --> 00:14:26,496
Then there's Miss Buchanan's
former beau as well.
260
00:14:26,531 --> 00:14:29,666
- Who is this Casanova?
- A James Bennett.
261
00:14:29,701 --> 00:14:31,802
Though I'm hard-pressed
to find any motive.
262
00:14:31,836 --> 00:14:35,004
The same as this Mason Alexander fellow.
263
00:14:35,039 --> 00:14:37,874
He wanted the dead girl
to be the face of his soap.
264
00:14:37,908 --> 00:14:40,376
Too soon to rule anyone out just yet.
265
00:14:40,410 --> 00:14:42,378
Murdoch, you've not yet mentioned
266
00:14:42,412 --> 00:14:45,448
the most likely possibility:
that the poor girl was killed
267
00:14:45,482 --> 00:14:48,384
by an aquatic devil the likes
of which we've never seen before.
268
00:14:48,418 --> 00:14:49,886
Sir,
269
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,755
I don't doubt that you saw something,
270
00:14:52,789 --> 00:14:55,991
but... perhaps a trick of the light.
271
00:14:56,025 --> 00:14:58,694
It was no trick. I know what I saw.
272
00:14:58,729 --> 00:15:02,898
With all due respect,
sir, what the whiskey saw.
273
00:15:02,932 --> 00:15:05,100
It was ale, Murdoch.
274
00:15:05,134 --> 00:15:08,437
Who in their right mind would
drink whiskey at the beach?
275
00:15:08,472 --> 00:15:10,439
I have never seen a wound like it.
276
00:15:10,474 --> 00:15:12,440
It is a highly unusual marking.
277
00:15:12,475 --> 00:15:14,442
- Any theories, Doctor?
- An animal,
278
00:15:14,477 --> 00:15:16,444
but I'm not sure what kind.
279
00:15:16,479 --> 00:15:18,446
Was the bite wound the cause of death?
280
00:15:18,481 --> 00:15:20,448
No, she drowned,
281
00:15:20,483 --> 00:15:22,650
but the water has washed
away any blood evidence
282
00:15:22,685 --> 00:15:25,320
and inhibited my ability to
tell whether the bite occurred
283
00:15:25,355 --> 00:15:26,989
pre or post-mortem.
284
00:15:27,023 --> 00:15:29,156
So, she could have been
dragged under the water
285
00:15:29,191 --> 00:15:30,992
by an unknown creature.
286
00:15:31,026 --> 00:15:32,827
An unknown creature?
287
00:15:32,862 --> 00:15:36,664
There's been some discussion
of a monster in Lake Ontario.
288
00:15:36,699 --> 00:15:39,166
More than discussion. I saw it.
289
00:15:39,201 --> 00:15:42,504
Indeed. Well, the size
of the teeth does indicate
290
00:15:42,538 --> 00:15:44,838
she was bitten by something quite large,
291
00:15:44,873 --> 00:15:49,010
though the lack of tissue damage
surrounding the bite marks would
292
00:15:49,044 --> 00:15:51,345
imply minimal to no struggle.
293
00:15:51,380 --> 00:15:54,348
Meaning she was dead before
the bite wound was inflicted.
294
00:15:54,383 --> 00:15:57,919
Not necessarily. She could have been unable
295
00:15:57,953 --> 00:16:00,154
to move due to the shock of being bitten.
296
00:16:02,156 --> 00:16:03,624
Well, Murdoch?
297
00:16:03,658 --> 00:16:06,693
There is someone down at the
beach who could be useful.
298
00:16:08,696 --> 00:16:11,197
This fellow obviously guards his privacy.
299
00:16:20,507 --> 00:16:22,142
Captain Squires?
300
00:16:22,176 --> 00:16:23,643
The constabulary is back.
301
00:16:23,677 --> 00:16:25,145
And none too soon.
302
00:16:25,179 --> 00:16:27,480
We understand you've seen
a creature in the lake?
303
00:16:27,514 --> 00:16:29,950
Many a time. And what with
all these people on the beach,
304
00:16:29,984 --> 00:16:33,153
it's become a rather terrifying prospect.
305
00:16:33,187 --> 00:16:35,421
- What did yours look like?
- Well,
306
00:16:35,456 --> 00:16:36,790
it was long, impossibly so.
307
00:16:36,791 --> 00:16:38,643
With a tall head rising out of the water?
308
00:16:39,626 --> 00:16:42,027
- Yeah, yes, that's it exactly.
- And when did you last see...
309
00:16:42,062 --> 00:16:45,030
- But did you see a more serpent
- Like tail, or a larger body?
310
00:16:45,065 --> 00:16:47,533
- It has both. A flatter body...
- With a long tail.
311
00:16:47,568 --> 00:16:49,802
- Yeah, like a sea snake.
- Precisely!
312
00:16:49,837 --> 00:16:52,204
- How far from shore was this...
- Was it green, maybe?
313
00:16:52,238 --> 00:16:54,305
- Yes, or brown.
- Yes, yes, yes!
314
00:16:54,308 --> 00:16:57,509
- Sir, if I may...
- Well, go on then, Murdoch.
315
00:16:57,543 --> 00:17:00,446
Don't make me ask all the questions.
316
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:01,947
Mr. Squires,
317
00:17:01,982 --> 00:17:04,616
have you any evidence to
support these sightings?
318
00:17:04,650 --> 00:17:07,719
In fact, I do. Well, it's...
319
00:17:07,753 --> 00:17:09,454
it's the best I could capture.
320
00:17:09,489 --> 00:17:12,223
She moves rather quickly
for such a large creature.
321
00:17:12,257 --> 00:17:15,494
This is it. Murdoch, this
is exactly what I saw.
322
00:17:15,528 --> 00:17:17,829
What we both saw!
323
00:17:17,864 --> 00:17:20,832
Sir, this photograph may
have been manipulated.
324
00:17:20,867 --> 00:17:22,868
But why would someone I've never met
325
00:17:22,902 --> 00:17:26,137
falsify a photograph of
something I've already seen?
326
00:17:26,171 --> 00:17:28,373
I don't know.
327
00:17:28,407 --> 00:17:30,375
Murdoch.
328
00:17:30,409 --> 00:17:32,977
(beach-goers yelling in fear)
329
00:17:33,012 --> 00:17:35,346
- (man): Get out of the water!
- There's your proof.
330
00:17:35,381 --> 00:17:37,748
Now, how do we stop the
thing from killing again?
331
00:17:42,355 --> 00:17:44,630
Lads, you wouldn't believe
it if you'd seen it yourself.
332
00:17:44,658 --> 00:17:47,326
A great long creature, scales, sharp teeth
333
00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:48,828
huge saucer-like eyes,
334
00:17:48,862 --> 00:17:50,930
red-rimmed and full of lust for blood.
335
00:17:50,964 --> 00:17:53,933
Crabtree, what do you know
about this demon in the lake?
336
00:17:53,967 --> 00:17:55,868
I'm not entirely convinced, sir.
337
00:17:55,902 --> 00:17:57,870
You don't believe in sea monsters?
338
00:17:57,904 --> 00:17:59,871
Well, obviously there are
monsters in the sea, sir.
339
00:17:59,905 --> 00:18:02,874
That's why they call them sea monsters.
But I've never heard of any lake monster.
340
00:18:02,908 --> 00:18:06,278
I just can't imagine anything so
dastardly living in fresh water.
341
00:18:08,281 --> 00:18:10,415
Crabtree, wait a minute.
342
00:18:10,450 --> 00:18:12,584
You're telling me that you believe
343
00:18:12,619 --> 00:18:15,520
in zombies, werewolves, vampires, Martians,
344
00:18:15,555 --> 00:18:17,789
Venusians, curses, voodoo, ghosts,
345
00:18:17,823 --> 00:18:20,291
and, apparently, sea monsters,
346
00:18:20,325 --> 00:18:22,894
but a creature in Lake Ontario, that both I
347
00:18:22,928 --> 00:18:24,929
and Detective Murdoch have witnessed,
348
00:18:24,964 --> 00:18:27,498
is beyond the scope of your
otherwise vivid imagination?
349
00:18:27,532 --> 00:18:29,700
- You're telling me that?
- Sir, I can't attest
350
00:18:29,735 --> 00:18:32,237
to what you witnessed. I'm
afraid I remain a sceptic.
351
00:18:32,271 --> 00:18:35,104
Sir, here are the reference
materials you requested.
352
00:18:35,105 --> 00:18:35,605
Thank you, George.
353
00:18:35,641 --> 00:18:37,541
- What's all this, then?
- Well, sir,
354
00:18:37,576 --> 00:18:39,843
if the creature we saw in the lake is real,
355
00:18:39,878 --> 00:18:42,112
there must be some
evolutionary explanation.
356
00:18:42,147 --> 00:18:45,916
I'm hoping the answer lies in
these texts of known aquatic life.
357
00:18:45,950 --> 00:18:48,753
And, sir, here's reference
material you requested.
358
00:18:48,787 --> 00:18:50,254
Excellent.
359
00:18:50,288 --> 00:18:53,723
I've made a few notes.
Eighteen twenty-nine:
360
00:18:53,758 --> 00:18:56,493
a hideous water snake
seen near St. Catharines.
361
00:18:56,527 --> 00:18:57,995
Eighteen thirty-three:
362
00:18:58,029 --> 00:19:01,265
a 175-foot serpent near Kingston Harbour.
363
00:19:01,299 --> 00:19:03,000
Eighteen forty-two:
364
00:19:03,034 --> 00:19:06,035
a 30-foot long brown
snake with a large head...
365
00:19:06,069 --> 00:19:08,705
Kingston again. Eighteen seventy-seven:
366
00:19:08,739 --> 00:19:11,308
a bellowing monster leaps in
the air and heads due north
367
00:19:11,342 --> 00:19:14,444
- from Olcott, New York.
- Sir, each one of those sightings
368
00:19:14,478 --> 00:19:17,580
describes your supposed
monster quite differently.
369
00:19:17,615 --> 00:19:20,717
And none of them is consistent
with what you and I saw.
370
00:19:20,751 --> 00:19:24,753
Then maybe we're dealing
with more than one monster.
371
00:19:24,788 --> 00:19:27,957
- Or none at all.
- Crabtree,
372
00:19:27,991 --> 00:19:30,526
I'm astonished at your
total lack of enthusiasm.
373
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,429
I would have thought you to be
my staunchest ally in all this.
374
00:19:33,463 --> 00:19:36,065
I'm sorry, sir, but the evidence simply
375
00:19:36,099 --> 00:19:38,567
- does not support the claim.
- Evidence?
376
00:19:38,601 --> 00:19:42,237
Are you saying there's more evidence
of Martians than of lake monsters?
377
00:19:42,271 --> 00:19:44,606
Yes, actually, documented for millennia.
378
00:19:44,641 --> 00:19:47,042
I'll show you documentation.
379
00:19:47,076 --> 00:19:48,844
Eighteen eighty-two:
380
00:19:48,878 --> 00:19:51,814
a serpent was seen in
the waters near Fort York,
381
00:19:51,848 --> 00:19:54,650
described as 50 feet long
and as wide as a man is round,
382
00:19:54,684 --> 00:19:56,952
blue-grey in colour, and
covered in stiff bristles.
383
00:19:56,986 --> 00:19:59,787
We were too far away to determine colour,
384
00:19:59,822 --> 00:20:02,023
but that's the most accurate account yet.
385
00:20:02,058 --> 00:20:06,494
Sirs, perhaps what you saw
was a very, very large fish.
386
00:20:06,528 --> 00:20:08,696
(Murdoch and Brackenreid):
It was not a fish.
387
00:20:08,731 --> 00:20:11,132
Sirs, are we really pursuing the theory
388
00:20:11,167 --> 00:20:14,235
that Miss Buchanan was
killed by some lake monster?
389
00:20:14,269 --> 00:20:16,270
- Yes, Crabtree, we are.
- Sir?
390
00:20:16,304 --> 00:20:20,441
- We're keeping an open mind, George.
- Sirs, I think it's far more
391
00:20:20,476 --> 00:20:22,710
likely that one of these Miss
Purity contestants is involved.
392
00:20:22,745 --> 00:20:25,874
It's quite a prize, and
women can be very competitive.
393
00:20:25,879 --> 00:20:28,615
- My Aunt Marigold once...
- George. I need you to go
394
00:20:28,649 --> 00:20:31,620
down to the morgue and
collect exact measurements
395
00:20:31,621 --> 00:20:33,185
of Miss Buchanan's bite wound.
396
00:20:33,894 --> 00:20:36,156
- Sir.
- And Crabtree,
397
00:20:36,191 --> 00:20:38,125
do up that bloody tunic!
398
00:20:38,159 --> 00:20:40,160
Sir.
399
00:20:44,565 --> 00:20:46,533
Although it's possible that there may be
400
00:20:46,567 --> 00:20:49,035
a previously undiscovered
species in Lake Ontario,
401
00:20:49,069 --> 00:20:50,804
naturally I'm hesitant.
402
00:20:50,838 --> 00:20:53,172
But given the size and
shape as you've documented,
403
00:20:53,207 --> 00:20:55,942
surely you have considered
that this creature may be
404
00:20:55,976 --> 00:20:58,278
a living descendant of the dinosaurs.
405
00:20:58,312 --> 00:21:00,280
I don't dare believe it, Julia,
406
00:21:00,314 --> 00:21:02,615
as sorely tempted as I may be.
407
00:21:02,649 --> 00:21:04,117
Ooooh.
408
00:21:04,151 --> 00:21:07,120
Clay and measurements.
409
00:21:07,154 --> 00:21:10,423
I daresay my afternoon
could be rescheduled.
410
00:21:10,457 --> 00:21:11,958
(She laughs.)
411
00:21:44,157 --> 00:21:47,625
The size seems consistent with
your description of the creature.
412
00:21:47,660 --> 00:21:49,127
Right.
413
00:21:49,162 --> 00:21:52,997
Now to compare it against
all known freshwater species.
414
00:21:53,031 --> 00:21:56,133
I wonder, what would you
name your new-found dinosaur?
415
00:21:56,168 --> 00:22:00,304
- Julia...
- A fine name. I like it.
416
00:22:00,339 --> 00:22:03,608
I'd be careful to temper my expectations.
417
00:22:03,642 --> 00:22:05,777
The odds of us discovering an entirely
418
00:22:05,811 --> 00:22:07,711
new species are not in our favour.
419
00:22:07,745 --> 00:22:10,181
Oh, William, it's much more fun
420
00:22:10,215 --> 00:22:13,817
to believe in the possibility than to
be discouraged by the improbability.
421
00:22:13,852 --> 00:22:17,654
(phone ringing)
422
00:22:17,689 --> 00:22:20,257
- Stationhouse n�4.
- Crabtree. Crabtree.
423
00:22:20,292 --> 00:22:22,626
- Just one moment, please.
- If that's the missus
424
00:22:22,660 --> 00:22:25,061
telephoning from Grimsby,
don't mention the lake monster.
425
00:22:25,096 --> 00:22:27,163
I don't want her watering
down my scotch again.
426
00:22:27,198 --> 00:22:29,933
We wouldn't want that, sir. Go ahead.
427
00:22:29,968 --> 00:22:32,002
At the beach, you say?
428
00:22:32,036 --> 00:22:34,471
Yes, we'll send someone right away.
429
00:22:34,506 --> 00:22:36,473
- Another sighting?
- No, sir.
430
00:22:36,508 --> 00:22:40,076
- A disturbance at the Miss Purity tent.
- Oh.
431
00:22:40,111 --> 00:22:42,578
Sir, perhaps I should
look into this myself,
432
00:22:42,613 --> 00:22:45,115
as the Detective is
busy with other matters.
433
00:22:45,149 --> 00:22:48,051
Good initiative, Crabtree. Crack on.
434
00:22:53,024 --> 00:22:55,758
- Mr. Alexander.
- I am ruined.
435
00:22:55,792 --> 00:22:57,760
A girl dead, my tent burnt to the ground.
436
00:22:57,794 --> 00:22:59,762
What I am supposed to tell my shareholders?
437
00:22:59,796 --> 00:23:02,264
If I ever get a hold of
that hussy, I swear I'll...
438
00:23:02,298 --> 00:23:04,533
Which hussy are you talking about?
439
00:23:04,567 --> 00:23:08,203
That wretched Marie Nicholson.
As if I could ever let her win.
440
00:23:08,238 --> 00:23:10,772
Can you imagine that? Her Miss Purity?
441
00:23:10,806 --> 00:23:12,774
Well, why would Miss
Nicholson burn the tent down?
442
00:23:12,808 --> 00:23:16,645
Well, who knows what goes on in the
heads of these foolish young things.
443
00:23:16,679 --> 00:23:20,281
Ask that simpering mess. She
seems to know all about it.
444
00:23:23,653 --> 00:23:25,787
Excuse me, Miss Lawson.
445
00:23:25,821 --> 00:23:28,857
Do you know why Miss
Nicholson would have done this?
446
00:23:28,891 --> 00:23:31,760
Mr. Alexander disqualified
her from the competition.
447
00:23:31,794 --> 00:23:34,128
He found out that she was with child.
448
00:23:34,163 --> 00:23:36,064
Can you imagine?
449
00:23:36,098 --> 00:23:39,333
The nerve of her,
competing to be Miss Purity.
450
00:23:39,518 --> 00:23:42,119
Who is the father?
451
00:23:42,153 --> 00:23:44,555
James Bennett, of course.
452
00:23:44,590 --> 00:23:46,056
Mr. Bennett?
453
00:23:46,091 --> 00:23:48,058
Constable, what happened to the tent?
454
00:23:48,093 --> 00:23:51,061
- You didn't see?
- No. I've been in town arranging for more ice.
455
00:23:51,096 --> 00:23:53,831
My fianc�e was in there. Is she all right?
456
00:23:53,865 --> 00:23:56,533
Miss Nicholson is the
one who burned it down.
457
00:23:56,567 --> 00:23:58,902
Oh, my goodness. Why would she do that?
458
00:23:58,937 --> 00:24:02,405
Because she was disqualified
from the competition
459
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,875
due to her... current state.
460
00:24:08,946 --> 00:24:11,814
I told Mr. Alexander that in confidence.
461
00:24:11,849 --> 00:24:13,748
I just wanted her to rest.
462
00:24:13,749 --> 00:24:15,826
It's not right for her to
be up and about like that
463
00:24:15,846 --> 00:24:17,854
in this heat. It's not good for the baby.
464
00:24:17,888 --> 00:24:19,479
- Mr. Bennett, are you...
- I must go and find Marie.
465
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:20,970
Her condition is quite delicate.
466
00:24:21,726 --> 00:24:24,927
If you don't mind me asking,
why have you not yet married?
467
00:24:24,962 --> 00:24:29,198
We postponed our marriage because
of this wretched competition.
468
00:24:29,233 --> 00:24:31,768
Wedded women can't enter, of course.
469
00:24:31,802 --> 00:24:33,435
Now, if your curiosity
470
00:24:33,470 --> 00:24:35,772
is satisfied, Constable,
I really must find her.
471
00:24:35,806 --> 00:24:37,829
- You'll let me know when you do?
- Of course.
472
00:24:38,187 --> 00:24:40,759
Before you go, can I get an egg custard?
473
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,875
Just the custard, mind, without the ice.
474
00:24:45,415 --> 00:24:47,416
- Help yourself.
- Ah.
475
00:24:51,154 --> 00:24:52,954
Julia,
476
00:24:52,989 --> 00:24:57,225
I believe we may be looking at
a descendent of the plesiosaur.
477
00:24:57,260 --> 00:25:00,428
- I believe you might be right.
- It certainly looks like
478
00:25:00,462 --> 00:25:01,930
the creature that I saw,
479
00:25:01,964 --> 00:25:04,632
And at this point, it may be
our most likely conclusion.
480
00:25:04,667 --> 00:25:08,569
William, this is so exciting.
Shall I call the university?
481
00:25:08,604 --> 00:25:11,639
Before we make our findings public,
482
00:25:11,674 --> 00:25:14,041
I should very much like
to see the creature again.
483
00:25:14,075 --> 00:25:16,444
I should very much like to see it as well.
484
00:25:16,478 --> 00:25:18,413
William,
485
00:25:18,447 --> 00:25:20,915
it is far too hot in the city to sleep.
486
00:25:20,949 --> 00:25:22,950
I think I may spend the night at the beach.
487
00:25:22,984 --> 00:25:26,587
And, in the interest of science,
I think you should join me.
488
00:25:26,622 --> 00:25:29,089
And in the interest of your safety,
489
00:25:29,124 --> 00:25:31,458
I believe I must.
490
00:25:35,563 --> 00:25:38,999
George, I'm sure your
surprise will be lovely,
491
00:25:39,034 --> 00:25:41,468
but I really need to be let in.
492
00:25:41,502 --> 00:25:45,939
I've got numbers 36
and 37 out here with me.
493
00:25:45,973 --> 00:25:47,474
Thank you.
494
00:25:50,177 --> 00:25:53,313
If you can't bring your
girl to the snowball stand,
495
00:25:53,348 --> 00:25:55,849
bring a snowball to your girl.
496
00:25:55,883 --> 00:25:59,953
It's so lovely, George.
497
00:25:59,987 --> 00:26:01,955
It's exactly the smile I needed.
498
00:26:01,989 --> 00:26:03,957
Would you like to share it with me?
499
00:26:03,991 --> 00:26:07,360
Actually, I brought enough for 2.
500
00:26:09,730 --> 00:26:12,832
I assume you revisited the
beach. How did you get on?
501
00:26:12,867 --> 00:26:16,035
- Some interesting developments, to be sure.
- Indeed?
502
00:26:16,070 --> 00:26:18,037
Now to convince the detective
503
00:26:18,072 --> 00:26:20,639
that Miss Buchanan was killed by
a person and not a lake monster.
504
00:26:20,674 --> 00:26:23,015
I'm certain your investigative
skills will win him over.
505
00:26:23,016 --> 00:26:24,156
You should tell him.
506
00:26:26,546 --> 00:26:28,347
Right away, George.
507
00:26:28,382 --> 00:26:29,882
You're right.
508
00:27:10,588 --> 00:27:12,589
Come along, William!
509
00:27:14,592 --> 00:27:16,693
(laughing)
510
00:27:16,728 --> 00:27:19,030
Is it that bad?
511
00:27:19,064 --> 00:27:20,396
Quite the opposite.
512
00:27:21,208 --> 00:27:24,835
All that cycling has been to your benefit.
513
00:27:24,925 --> 00:27:27,393
Perhaps we should stay on land.
514
00:27:27,427 --> 00:27:29,729
Nonsense, William. We
can see it just as well
515
00:27:29,763 --> 00:27:31,397
from the water as the beach.
516
00:27:31,431 --> 00:27:33,733
We could spot a plesiosaur
from a mile away.
517
00:27:33,767 --> 00:27:36,836
Not a mile. Given the moonlight,
518
00:27:36,871 --> 00:27:41,007
the direction of the wind, I
would say approximately 50...
519
00:27:43,643 --> 00:27:45,811
The water's lovely, William.
520
00:27:48,315 --> 00:27:50,016
What are you thinking?
521
00:27:53,853 --> 00:27:56,788
William. (both giggling)
522
00:28:02,629 --> 00:28:05,597
William! Something just
brushed against my foot.
523
00:28:05,632 --> 00:28:08,266
Hm.
524
00:28:08,300 --> 00:28:10,936
Julia?
525
00:28:10,970 --> 00:28:13,471
It's gone. I must have been nothing.
526
00:28:18,644 --> 00:28:20,111
(She gasps.)
527
00:28:20,146 --> 00:28:22,113
- Something is touching me.
- (He chuckles.)
528
00:28:22,148 --> 00:28:24,115
- Julia.
- No, William,
529
00:28:24,150 --> 00:28:26,617
there's definitely something
under the water with us.
530
00:28:26,652 --> 00:28:28,653
Stay right there.
531
00:28:39,820 --> 00:28:41,136
Your initial thoughts, Doctor?
532
00:28:41,137 --> 00:28:42,410
I'm reluctant to speculate
533
00:28:42,415 --> 00:28:44,508
on the cause of Miss Nicholson's death.
534
00:28:45,245 --> 00:28:48,747
But the size of these bite
marks do, at first glance,
535
00:28:48,782 --> 00:28:51,049
appear similar to those
of Katherine Buchanan.
536
00:28:51,083 --> 00:28:53,352
- May I?
- Please.
537
00:28:58,357 --> 00:28:59,825
Not exactly a match.
538
00:28:59,859 --> 00:29:01,827
Depending on the angle of entry,
539
00:29:01,861 --> 00:29:04,429
the movement of the body while
the wounds were inflicted,
540
00:29:04,463 --> 00:29:06,998
and the deformation of
skin and tissue under water,
541
00:29:07,033 --> 00:29:09,000
no 2 bite marks would be the same.
542
00:29:09,035 --> 00:29:11,336
Well, then, Doctor, is it possible
543
00:29:11,370 --> 00:29:13,638
the 2 young women were
bitten by the same creature?
544
00:29:13,672 --> 00:29:17,107
- (doorbell ringing)
- Possible, yes.
545
00:29:17,142 --> 00:29:19,744
But not certain. If
you'll please excuse me,
546
00:29:19,778 --> 00:29:21,746
I have yet another new arrival.
547
00:29:21,780 --> 00:29:23,981
I assure you, Detective,
548
00:29:24,015 --> 00:29:25,983
Miss Nicholson is my top priority.
549
00:29:26,017 --> 00:29:29,386
Thank you, Doctor. I'll await your results.
550
00:29:32,858 --> 00:29:35,025
Katherine Buchanan drowned.
551
00:29:35,060 --> 00:29:38,662
She may have been held under
water by an unknown entity.
552
00:29:38,696 --> 00:29:42,599
Marie Nicholson suffered similar
bite marks and may also have drowned.
553
00:29:42,633 --> 00:29:45,335
Though the bite marks were different enough
554
00:29:45,370 --> 00:29:47,337
- that there may be another explanation.
- Yes.
555
00:29:47,372 --> 00:29:49,672
There are 2 monsters
roving around the lake.
556
00:29:49,706 --> 00:29:51,908
Or perhaps there is a more
human motive at work here.
557
00:29:51,942 --> 00:29:54,477
Sir, I took the liberty of
continuing on your initial
558
00:29:54,511 --> 00:29:57,780
- investigation of the Miss Purity competitors.
- Did you, now?
559
00:29:57,814 --> 00:30:01,985
Well, sir, you were otherwise occupied
with this lake monster, and I...
560
00:30:02,019 --> 00:30:04,354
Yes, George, what did you find out?
561
00:30:04,388 --> 00:30:06,355
Sirs, Miss Nicholson was
ejected from the Purity
562
00:30:06,390 --> 00:30:09,258
competition because she was
with child for James Bennett.
563
00:30:09,292 --> 00:30:11,260
Now, this would imply
that their affair began
564
00:30:11,294 --> 00:30:14,530
sometime before Bennett
parted ways with Miss Buchanan.
565
00:30:14,564 --> 00:30:16,031
This is a waste of time.
566
00:30:16,065 --> 00:30:18,901
Let's get back to our
monster in the lake, shall we?
567
00:30:18,935 --> 00:30:22,404
- George, the 2 girls didn't kill each other.
- Sir, I'm not suggesting so.
568
00:30:22,468 --> 00:30:25,670
But Miss Nicholson ruined
Mason Alexander's competition.
569
00:30:25,705 --> 00:30:27,672
I believe he sought revenge.
570
00:30:27,707 --> 00:30:30,075
What was his motive for
killing the first girl?
571
00:30:30,109 --> 00:30:32,477
That I don't know.
572
00:30:32,511 --> 00:30:34,746
How do you explain the bite marks?
573
00:30:34,780 --> 00:30:37,282
- That I don't know.
- Exactly.
574
00:30:37,317 --> 00:30:40,418
Let's flip the chalkboard
back, then, shall we?
575
00:30:40,453 --> 00:30:44,723
Sir, the number of links between
these 2 young women makes it difficult
576
00:30:44,757 --> 00:30:47,311
to altogether ignore George's
line of investigation.
577
00:30:47,312 --> 00:30:48,769
They were both at the beach,
578
00:30:48,775 --> 00:30:50,464
they were both bitten
by a monster in the lake.
579
00:30:50,465 --> 00:30:51,218
How's that for a link?
580
00:30:51,220 --> 00:30:53,732
If that were the only connection.
581
00:30:53,766 --> 00:30:56,633
But the 2 girls knew each other
well, they were both competitors
582
00:30:56,668 --> 00:31:00,037
in the Miss Purity competition, and they
were both involved with the same man.
583
00:31:00,072 --> 00:31:02,473
Yet none of that answers the question.
584
00:31:02,507 --> 00:31:04,208
If it was murder,
585
00:31:04,243 --> 00:31:07,245
then who would want both
these ladies dead, and why?
586
00:31:09,748 --> 00:31:11,982
It appears Miss Nicholson didn't drown.
587
00:31:12,016 --> 00:31:13,484
She did not?
588
00:31:13,518 --> 00:31:16,152
No. She died of exsanguination.
589
00:31:16,187 --> 00:31:19,122
- From the bite wounds.
- Yes and no.
590
00:31:21,125 --> 00:31:24,194
If you look closely,
you'll see an aberration.
591
00:31:24,228 --> 00:31:27,664
The bruising is indicative
of a small hilt or handle.
592
00:31:27,699 --> 00:31:30,700
I've yet to confirm the
weapon, but a knife would fit.
593
00:31:30,734 --> 00:31:33,370
Before she was bitten...
594
00:31:35,373 --> 00:31:37,140
She was stabbed.
595
00:31:37,174 --> 00:31:39,809
She had such a beautiful voice.
596
00:31:39,843 --> 00:31:43,046
All I can do is juggle knives.
597
00:31:45,048 --> 00:31:47,717
Dead? Marie is dead as well?
598
00:31:47,751 --> 00:31:49,719
- Oh, my God.
- Miss. Lawson,
599
00:31:49,753 --> 00:31:54,023
you wanted to win the Miss
Purity competition. At any cost.
600
00:31:54,057 --> 00:31:55,925
What are you saying?
601
00:31:55,959 --> 00:31:58,060
Where were you last night?
602
00:32:00,664 --> 00:32:04,666
With Mr. Alexander. He
promised me Miss Purity.
603
00:32:04,700 --> 00:32:08,037
And he will corroborate this?
604
00:32:08,071 --> 00:32:12,174
It was to be a secret, of course.
605
00:32:12,208 --> 00:32:14,776
I'm not very smart, and my family is poor.
606
00:32:14,811 --> 00:32:18,346
I don't have great prospects,
Detective. I really need this job.
607
00:32:18,380 --> 00:32:21,917
Miss Lawson, did you kill Katherine
Buchanan and Marie Nicholson?
608
00:32:21,951 --> 00:32:24,018
My goodness, no!
609
00:32:24,053 --> 00:32:27,088
I'm afraid I'll have to confiscate these
610
00:32:27,122 --> 00:32:29,491
- until I verify your story.
- You can't take my knives.
611
00:32:29,525 --> 00:32:31,726
They're the only things of value I own.
612
00:32:31,761 --> 00:32:35,396
You have much more to worry
about than that, Miss Lawson.
613
00:32:41,603 --> 00:32:43,237
No trace of blood,
614
00:32:43,272 --> 00:32:45,239
though they could have been cleaned.
615
00:32:45,274 --> 00:32:48,242
I'll have Dr. Grace do a full
comparison with the wound.
616
00:32:48,277 --> 00:32:50,744
That girl was afraid of her own shadow.
617
00:32:50,779 --> 00:32:53,781
I can't imagine her capable of murder.
618
00:32:53,815 --> 00:32:55,950
What about Alexander and his alibi?
619
00:32:55,984 --> 00:32:58,519
I've sent Henry to get his statement.
620
00:32:58,553 --> 00:33:02,656
He and Miss Lawson will
likely alibi each other.
621
00:33:02,691 --> 00:33:06,494
Sir, she didn't die from a bite;
622
00:33:06,528 --> 00:33:08,161
she was stabbed.
623
00:33:08,196 --> 00:33:09,662
No monster?
624
00:33:09,697 --> 00:33:11,164
Sadly, no.
625
00:33:11,199 --> 00:33:13,867
She was stabbed and then
the bite wound was created
626
00:33:13,901 --> 00:33:15,502
to divert our attention.
627
00:33:15,536 --> 00:33:17,804
So, if she wasn't killed by a monster,
628
00:33:17,838 --> 00:33:19,639
what caused the bite?
629
00:33:24,211 --> 00:33:26,479
He's buggered off.
630
00:33:26,514 --> 00:33:28,515
Sir, have a look at this.
631
00:33:33,353 --> 00:33:35,421
Blood.
632
00:33:35,455 --> 00:33:37,423
So, that's our culprit.
633
00:33:37,457 --> 00:33:39,726
So it would appear.
634
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,329
So, we have a lake monster
copycat on our hands.
635
00:33:43,363 --> 00:33:48,167
And who better than
our lake monster expert?
636
00:33:48,201 --> 00:33:51,003
But why set traps here?
637
00:33:51,038 --> 00:33:52,971
What is he guarding?
638
00:34:46,024 --> 00:34:48,692
Maybe I did have a drop too much ale.
639
00:34:58,070 --> 00:35:00,204
Why?
640
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,174
All I wanted was a little peace!
641
00:35:03,208 --> 00:35:07,011
So many people, all hours,
running all over my property,
642
00:35:07,045 --> 00:35:08,645
even sleeping on the beach!
643
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,647
It was just more than I could bear.
644
00:35:10,682 --> 00:35:14,185
So, you fabricated a
monster. Makes perfect sense.
645
00:35:14,219 --> 00:35:16,854
I thought it would scare everybody away.
646
00:35:16,889 --> 00:35:20,892
Captain Squires, if that
really was your plan,
647
00:35:20,926 --> 00:35:23,727
wouldn't the lake monster have sufficed?
648
00:35:23,762 --> 00:35:26,062
Why murder 2 innocent young girls?
649
00:35:26,097 --> 00:35:30,333
- Murder? Oh, no, no, you misunderstand.
- Clearly.
650
00:35:30,368 --> 00:35:33,404
That young lady, Miss Buchanan, I saw her
651
00:35:33,438 --> 00:35:34,436
place stones into her pockets,
652
00:35:34,437 --> 00:35:36,239
and lay a garland of
flowers around her neck,
653
00:35:36,240 --> 00:35:38,076
and she's walked right into the lake.
654
00:35:38,910 --> 00:35:42,212
- She took her own life?
- I suppose so.
655
00:35:42,246 --> 00:35:45,681
I ran to help her, but I was too late.
656
00:35:45,716 --> 00:35:48,584
So, you dragged out her body and
used your fake monster to bite her?
657
00:35:48,659 --> 00:35:50,994
I seized the opportunity. A dead body would
658
00:35:51,028 --> 00:35:54,197
convince everybody the monster was real.
659
00:35:54,232 --> 00:35:57,299
- I'm sorry!
- And Miss Nicholson?
660
00:35:57,334 --> 00:35:59,669
I don't know anything about her.
661
00:35:59,703 --> 00:36:01,804
I swear on the good Queen's memory.
662
00:36:01,839 --> 00:36:05,675
- It was your trap that bit her!
- Well, anyone could have taken my traps!
663
00:36:05,709 --> 00:36:07,710
Everyone knows they're there!
664
00:36:10,547 --> 00:36:12,147
(Squires grunting)
665
00:36:12,182 --> 00:36:14,416
He is completely crackers.
666
00:36:14,450 --> 00:36:16,618
Tampering with a body just
to scare people off the beach.
667
00:36:16,652 --> 00:36:18,620
He built a bloody lake
monster, for heaven's sakes!
668
00:36:18,654 --> 00:36:20,122
I'm sorry, sir. Trust me,
669
00:36:20,156 --> 00:36:22,224
- I know how you feel.
- Crabtree,
670
00:36:22,259 --> 00:36:25,127
- I don't need you to comfort me.
- Well, I'm just saying sir,
671
00:36:25,161 --> 00:36:27,529
I've had my share of
disappointments, but you know what?
672
00:36:27,563 --> 00:36:28,417
I never give up hope.
673
00:36:28,418 --> 00:36:31,427
- Thank you, Crabtree.
- If you truly believe that lake monsters exist,
674
00:36:31,428 --> 00:36:32,978
I believe you will find your proof.
675
00:36:32,979 --> 00:36:35,877
- I said, thank you, Crabtree.
- And isn't Toronto the perfect place?
676
00:36:35,879 --> 00:36:37,672
You have Lake Ontario
right there, Lake Erie,
677
00:36:37,707 --> 00:36:41,142
Lake Huron within a day's travel.
If you were to include rivers...
678
00:36:41,176 --> 00:36:44,713
George, perhaps you should
look in on Dr. Grace.
679
00:36:44,747 --> 00:36:47,982
We need to identify the weapon that
killed Miss Nicholson as soon as possible.
680
00:36:48,017 --> 00:36:51,418
Sir, right away. Chin
up, Inspector. Chin up.
681
00:36:56,324 --> 00:37:00,627
It does seem like Katherine
Buchanan committed suicide...
682
00:37:00,661 --> 00:37:04,697
the white gown, stones in her pockets...
683
00:37:04,732 --> 00:37:07,301
the romantic statement of a woman betrayed.
684
00:37:07,335 --> 00:37:09,302
It's a plausible scenario,
685
00:37:09,336 --> 00:37:12,004
and consistent with
Captain Squires' statement,
686
00:37:12,039 --> 00:37:15,041
but how does a suicide relate
to Marie Nicholson's murder?
687
00:37:15,075 --> 00:37:19,078
It might not. The two may be unrelated.
688
00:37:19,112 --> 00:37:22,582
Marie Nicholson had no
trouble making enemies.
689
00:37:22,616 --> 00:37:25,184
The motive may be something
that we've yet to uncover,
690
00:37:25,218 --> 00:37:27,386
which doesn't help to answer the question.
691
00:37:27,421 --> 00:37:30,356
Who killed Marie Nicholson?
692
00:37:30,390 --> 00:37:33,625
None of these knives match
Miss Nicholson's stab wound.
693
00:37:33,660 --> 00:37:35,962
A different implement, then?
694
00:37:35,996 --> 00:37:38,097
Yes, something thinner,
695
00:37:38,131 --> 00:37:39,832
more cylindrical.
696
00:37:42,802 --> 00:37:47,105
An icepick, like the one
used by the snowball vendor.
697
00:37:47,139 --> 00:37:49,975
Sir, James Bennett wouldn't
have killed Miss Nicholson;
698
00:37:50,009 --> 00:37:53,178
doing so would have meant
killing his own unborn child.
699
00:37:53,212 --> 00:37:56,147
Marie Nicholson wasn't with child,
700
00:37:56,182 --> 00:37:58,649
nor was there any
indication she had ever been.
701
00:38:01,988 --> 00:38:04,356
Oh, Mr. Bennett!
702
00:38:04,390 --> 00:38:07,392
We'd like a word about Marie Nicholson.
703
00:38:20,839 --> 00:38:24,375
(metal slicing) (Bennett yelling in pain)
704
00:38:24,409 --> 00:38:26,010
Ooh.
705
00:38:32,183 --> 00:38:35,319
Katie was my everything.
706
00:38:35,353 --> 00:38:37,821
We knew it since we were children.
707
00:38:37,855 --> 00:38:40,857
And Miss Nicholson?
708
00:38:40,892 --> 00:38:46,997
Katie was visiting her family
2 months ago in St. Catharines.
709
00:38:47,031 --> 00:38:48,632
I was so lonely.
710
00:38:48,666 --> 00:38:50,834
Marie seduced me.
711
00:38:50,868 --> 00:38:53,803
I have never regretted anything more.
712
00:38:53,838 --> 00:38:56,907
Then she informed you that
she had become pregnant.
713
00:38:58,910 --> 00:39:00,877
My heart was shattered.
714
00:39:00,912 --> 00:39:03,146
I had no choice but to marry her.
715
00:39:03,180 --> 00:39:05,481
And I couldn't tell Katie the truth.
716
00:39:05,516 --> 00:39:07,983
I couldn't bear to hurt
her any more than I had to.
717
00:39:08,018 --> 00:39:10,786
Yet she found out somehow.
718
00:39:10,820 --> 00:39:12,955
Marie told her.
719
00:39:12,989 --> 00:39:15,758
Out of spite, I suppose, or to gloat.
720
00:39:17,861 --> 00:39:20,362
I didn't know any of this until...
721
00:39:22,832 --> 00:39:24,399
Until?
722
00:39:27,437 --> 00:39:29,939
The day after Katie took her own life,
723
00:39:29,973 --> 00:39:32,741
I received this in the mail.
724
00:39:38,614 --> 00:39:40,582
"Dearest James, I can't
725
00:39:40,616 --> 00:39:42,350
endure this life without you,
726
00:39:42,385 --> 00:39:45,253
I can't bear to see what
could have been our child
727
00:39:45,288 --> 00:39:47,055
born to another.
728
00:39:47,090 --> 00:39:50,058
I will love you forever. I forgive you."
729
00:39:52,628 --> 00:39:54,596
But I couldn't blame Marie.
730
00:39:54,630 --> 00:39:56,290
I didn't want to distress her.
731
00:39:56,291 --> 00:39:58,599
This heat, Katie's death,
it all seemed too much.
732
00:39:58,601 --> 00:40:01,435
I had to think of my child's welfare.
733
00:40:01,470 --> 00:40:05,172
So, you had her disqualified
from the Miss Purity competition.
734
00:40:05,207 --> 00:40:07,041
It was for the best.
735
00:40:07,076 --> 00:40:09,376
But Marie was livid.
736
00:40:11,713 --> 00:40:14,148
She told me she had never been pregnant.
737
00:40:16,151 --> 00:40:18,085
It was all a lie.
738
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,721
Katie killed herself over a lie.
739
00:40:20,755 --> 00:40:23,290
So you killed Marie.
740
00:40:23,325 --> 00:40:26,627
I didn't even know what I was doing.
741
00:40:26,661 --> 00:40:29,630
The ice pick was in my
hand, I was blind with rage.
742
00:40:29,664 --> 00:40:32,398
I don't even remember stabbing her.
743
00:40:34,736 --> 00:40:37,971
I should feel remorse...
744
00:40:38,006 --> 00:40:39,506
but I don't.
745
00:40:42,276 --> 00:40:45,745
My only regret is that I
won't be going to heaven...
746
00:40:48,349 --> 00:40:50,683
because I know Katie is there.
747
00:40:54,347 --> 00:40:56,872
It's a shame the snowballs stand is closed.
748
00:40:57,350 --> 00:41:01,653
I don't know, George. I
think I prefer your version.
749
00:41:01,687 --> 00:41:03,555
It's nice to be outside again,
750
00:41:03,589 --> 00:41:05,790
especially now that the heat wave is over.
751
00:41:05,824 --> 00:41:08,960
- Did you find relatives for your John Does?
- Some.
752
00:41:08,994 --> 00:41:10,962
What will happen with the others?
753
00:41:10,996 --> 00:41:13,464
The city will give each one
of them a Christian burial.
754
00:41:13,498 --> 00:41:15,466
I may be the only one in attendance,
755
00:41:15,500 --> 00:41:17,468
but at least they won't be alone.
756
00:41:17,502 --> 00:41:19,470
Well, perhaps I'll attend with you?
757
00:41:19,504 --> 00:41:21,505
I would like that very much.
758
00:41:23,741 --> 00:41:26,710
(Brackenreid): What the bloody hell!
759
00:41:26,744 --> 00:41:29,080
Oy, you little buggers,
bring back that bloody hat!
760
00:41:29,114 --> 00:41:30,614
Bollocks!
761
00:41:33,518 --> 00:41:36,553
Oh, my goodness, Emily. I've just destroyed
762
00:41:36,588 --> 00:41:38,421
somebody's hat.
763
00:41:38,456 --> 00:41:40,791
I think this is the inspector's hat.
764
00:41:40,825 --> 00:41:42,926
Perhaps you should hide the evidence.
765
00:41:46,363 --> 00:41:48,298
George, it's positively flying.
766
00:41:50,601 --> 00:41:53,269
Well, look at that.
767
00:42:01,612 --> 00:42:04,080
Emily, I think I've just
invented a new beach game.
768
00:42:04,115 --> 00:42:06,082
I could call it Flying Hat,
769
00:42:06,117 --> 00:42:09,151
or Flying Brim. Free Brim. Fris-brim.
770
00:42:09,185 --> 00:42:10,686
Flying Hat.
771
00:42:16,693 --> 00:42:19,461
You must be relieved, William.
772
00:42:19,496 --> 00:42:22,865
I have to admit, I'm somewhat disappointed.
773
00:42:22,899 --> 00:42:26,135
- I was quite enjoying our little research project.
- (Julia laughs.)
774
00:42:26,169 --> 00:42:28,604
The thought of discovering a new species...
775
00:42:28,638 --> 00:42:31,140
Oh, William, you'll find your dinosaur yet.
776
00:42:31,174 --> 00:42:33,642
I'm sure of it.
777
00:42:33,676 --> 00:42:36,011
(Julia sighs.)
778
00:42:40,349 --> 00:42:42,884
Julia. There are people everywhere.
779
00:42:42,918 --> 00:42:43,949
How ridiculous it is
780
00:42:43,956 --> 00:42:47,386
that women should have to wear
black woolen stockings in this heat.
781
00:42:49,659 --> 00:42:52,661
You are being very scandalous, young lady.
782
00:42:52,695 --> 00:42:54,896
Yes, I am, aren't I?
783
00:42:54,930 --> 00:42:58,766
(Julia giggling)
784
00:43:03,872 --> 00:43:05,673
Ah, hey!
785
00:43:05,707 --> 00:43:08,709
(both shouting and laughing)
786
00:43:12,648 --> 00:43:14,148
My hair!
787
00:43:17,652 --> 00:43:18,619
Oh! (Julia laughing)
788
00:43:18,652 --> 00:43:19,820
Stop!!
789
00:43:19,822 --> 00:43:21,889
Announcer: A special Murdoch, next Monday.
790
00:43:21,891 --> 00:43:22,422
What?!
791
00:43:22,424 --> 00:43:23,891
The real killer is over there!
792
00:43:23,893 --> 00:43:25,826
Announcer: Guest starring Allan Hawco.
793
00:43:26,728 --> 00:43:27,727
That's Jacob Doyle.
794
00:43:27,729 --> 00:43:28,494
You know him?!
795
00:43:28,496 --> 00:43:29,629
Every copper from here
796
00:43:29,631 --> 00:43:31,297
to Corner Brook knows this slea bean!
797
00:43:31,299 --> 00:43:32,831
