All language subtitles for Murdoch Mysteries - S18E12 - The Star of Mandalay

- The final resting place
of djedmaatesankh,

Buried along the west bank of
the nile over 2,800 years ago.

Now, over here...

- Thank you so much
for accompanying me.

Thomas is playing golf
with city council.

- Golf? I've been told
the chief constable
abhors the game.

- Oh, he does. But it's better
to be on the inner circle

Of the council than to be
on the outside looking in.

- Mm.

(gasps)
- look.

That's mr. Olyphant.

He's a broadway producer and...

(gasping)
that's rose mae kirby!

- Who?
- She's the heiress

To the cyclone carpet
sweeper fortune.

It's a marvellous device.

- Mechanical gadgets
are a slippery slope,
mrs. Brackenreid.

First, the machines
work for us,

But soon, we'll be serving
the machines.

If we're not already.

- What are you on about?

- Oh, take the telephone.

We sit by it, wait for it,
we rush to it when it calls.

Are we not slaves to its power,
are we not--

- Oh, shush!
He's speaking.

- ...Outgrowing its modest
confines.

That is why I have
secured promises

From the governments of ontario,
canada and great britain

To establish a new home
for canada's finest artifacts.

Soon, crowds from across
the country

Will flock to see world-class
exhibits of archeology,

Geology, mineralogy,

Paleontology and zoology,
all under one roof.

(applause)

- Oh, my!

What a wonderful fur.

- I wouldn't touch that.

Who knows what manner
of mites call it home.

- But we need your help.

This weekend we are hosting
a fundraiser.

Thank you to mrs. Margaret
brackenreid...

- Oh!
- And the ladies' auxiliary...

- Thank you.
- ...For planning the gala.

- Thank you.

- As our most
distinguished patrons,

We offer you
the first opportunity

To be a part of the finest
institution in canada,

The royal ontario museum.

(applause)

- And what do you have in store,
beyond the current collection?

- All manner of artifacts.

But our newest and greatest
treasure surely is

The star of mandalay,

The largest ruby in the world.
(all gasping)

- Oh, my.

Can we see it?

- It will be delivered
later today,

But it shall not be unveiled
until the gala.

Now, I've one last wonder
to show you,

If you will follow me.

- Ah.

- This is the burglar
annunciator,

A state-of-the-art
silent alarm.

- If a sensor is tripped
at the museum,

An automated call will be placed
to the constabulary

Advising us of the break-in and
of its precise point of ingress.

This telephone will then ring,
and this light will blink red.

And the thief will be
none the wiser.

(gasps)

- Had this existed when I was
working in new york,

Some of the biggest
bank robberies in history

Might have been foiled.

- Nothing before its time,
inspector.

(curious music)

(suspenseful music)

(gasping)

(moans)

(suspenseful music)

(theme music)

- I interviewed the guard.

He's still a bit woozy.

Did he get a look
at the intruder?

- Unfortunately not.

- Well, we've confirmed
that the annunciator

Was fully functional
at the station house.

And, what's more,

The intruder had the combination
to the vault.

- A curious conundrum.

- We'll have to check
all of the sensors here

To ensure that
they're working properly.

- The star of mandalay!

It was supposed to be
right here in the vault.

And now it's gone!

This is an indelible stain
upon my reputation.

- Mr. Chaney!
Ah, there's no need to worry.

An error in transit forms

Delayed the delivery
of the ruby.

It'll be arriving later today.

- Thank god for small miracles.

- Who might you be?
- Dr. Elise tremblay.

Ah, this is my department.

- Ah. Detective william murdoch,
toronto constabulary.

Detective watts.
- So, has anything been stolen?

- I don't believe so.

- I'll check with
the other departments.

- Perhaps you could show us

Where the intruder entered
the building?

- Only a philistine would
attempt a theft such as this.

- A very clever philistine.

The intruder used
a diamond-tipped glass cutter.

What's more, this window
is the closest

To the junction box of
the system's electrical circuit.

- Hm! Meaning?

- Meaning the intruder
knew precisely

Where to enter the building

In order to turn off
the alarm the fastest.

- Who would have access
to that information?

- The only copy of
the annunciator's schematics

Are here with the university.

- Oh my stars.
- Then the thief must be

Someone working
at the university.

It's an inside job.

(phone ringing)

Uh, marx wrote extensively
about this:

Replacing workers
with machines.

- The revolution comes
in many forms.

- And then, one day,
there'll be no need for us.

- Let it rest, detective.

The museum founders
have been calling all day

And I'm beginning to develop
a migraine headache,

And you are not helping.

- Sir...
(ringing continues)

The annunciator
works as intended.

The perpetrator disabled
the alarm at the junction box.

- How could he have
managed that?

- Mr. Chaney has a copy

Of the annunciator's schematics
in his office.

- Do you think he is involved?

(sighing)

- Apparently, they were not kept
under lock and key,

As I instructed.
(sighing)

So whoever is responsible

Had intimate knowledge
of the annunciator system.

(phone ringing)

- Sounds like an inside job.

- Well, sir, mr. Chaney
is still speaking

With other members
of departments,

But apparently,
nothing's been stolen.

- The crook went through
all the trouble of breaking in,

But left empty-handed?
I find that hard to believe.

- Perhaps the ruby
was the only intended target.

It was scheduled to arrive
yesterday, but then was delayed.

- The ruby?

(phone ringing)
- the... Star of mandalay,

A very large burmese ruby
on loan from the crown.

- Detective, I want you
and a small team of constables

To oversee the delivery
of the ruby

And ensure its safety
ahead of the gala.

- Yes, sir.

(sighing)

(phone ringing)

(muffled ringing)

- There.

Headache averted.

You yourself have said treasure
hunters are thieves.

The british separated this jewel
from its country of origin,

And now they house it
in a vault

To prevent others
from separating it from them.

Isn't it ironic?

Don't you think?

- I really don't think
that it's irony.

However it arrived here,

It is nevertheless our duty to
ensure it does not get stolen.

You're certain that the
combination has been changed?

- Sir, if it were to be stolen,

Exactly how much would a ruby
like this be worth?

- Oh, the star of mandalay,
a one-of-a-kind gem

On loan from the british crown.

Priceless.

- Explains why we're
getting overtime.

- I don't believe
overtime pay is involved.

- You see, now,
that might be irony.

- Just can't shake
the feeling that we're being
watched by someone.

- We've made the necessary
repairs to the annunciator

And all university personnel
have been escorted

Out of the building.
Who could be watching us?

- Oh, I never ignore
a gut feeling, sir.

- Might be an idea
from time to time, henry.

- Right. Detective watts and I
will check

All of the other rooms to ensure
the system is working properly.

You keep an eye out.
Oh, and henry?

- Yes, sir?
- Don't touch anything.

- Yes, sir.

(curious music)

(chuckling)
- hello there.

Oh, yes.
(chuckling)

(chuckling)

- The break-in may have
a simpler solution

Than we realize, detective.
- Is that so?

- The british invaded burma
in 1885 and deposed the king.

Things grew frosty between
the nations

After british dignitaries
refused to remove their shoes

In the presence of the monarch.

(rhythmic music)

- Whoo!
(laughing)

(sighing)
what else?

- The king, his pregnant wife
and children

Had mere hours
to escape the palace,

Taking only what they could
carry in their arms.

- Watts!

(sighing)

You seem well-versed
in all of this.

- Well, I had dinner
with leopold hudson

When he was last in town.

He knows chaney
from a dig in egypt,

Which brings me to my theory
as to the identity of our thief.

Have we considered
the king's descendants?

Perhaps a disgruntled heir
is looking to right this wrong?

(laughing)

(curious music)

(hums)

- Watts.
- Hm?

- Take a look at this.

- When I was here yesterday
with mrs. Brackenreid,

This pelt was on display
in the great hall.

- It appears to have been
rolled up and fashioned

Into a sleeping pillow
of some sort.

- Professors do tend
to work long hours.

- Hm.

(gasps)

- Uh, is anyone there?

(dramatic music)

(whimpering)

(thuds)

- Is it possible
there's a draft?

- With all of the exterior
windows and doors locked?

I think not.

(door handle rattling)

Henry!

Someone has locked us in.

- If someone has broken in,

The constabulary
must have been alerted

By the annunciator
and they should be here soon.

That works too.

- Henry!

Henry, what's all
the smoke coming from?

- Sir, I was patrolling
the hall,

Minding my own business,

Touching nothing, sir,
as ordered,

When smoke started billowing out
of the sarcophagus,

And then... A mummy
came to life.

- A mummy came to life?
- Yes, that's what I said!

- Henry, it's impossible.

- Well, someone was in there!

- It's a homemade smoke bomb.
Potassium nitrate and sugar.

It wasn't a mummy
that you saw, henry.

The thief was hiding inside
the sarcophagus.

(object clattering)

(suspenseful music)

The vault doesn't appear
to have been breached.

- Is that...

- Yes, it is.

The thief was going
to blow the vault open.

- I don't see any sign of him.

- Well, at least he didn't
get the ruby, sir.

- Right.

But we didn't get him, either.

- The explosive was made using
a solution called nitrostarch.

It would be more than enough
to crack the seal.

- Hm.

If our man is this insistent

On stealing a ruby
of such renown,

He must already
have a fence lined up.

I'll put in some calls
to new york city.

- Good point.
I'll have constables

Look into known fences
here in toronto.

(indistinct chatter)

- What happened to your hand?

- It's a bruise I got

In my fight with the mummy
last night.

- Ah, it doesn't look like
any bruise I've seen.

- Detective. Constable.

- Ah, miss hart, could you take
a look at henry's hand?

- I could, but I'm no doctor.

- If he were dead, you'd be able
to figure out what it is?

- I can't be completely sure,

But it looks like
contact dermatitis.

- Is it contagious?

- Well, to properly help,

I'll need to know
what caused it.

Have you been in contact with
anything unusual lately?

- Hm.

- We've looked into known
fences in the area.

Nobody fits the bill.

But the hamilton constabulary
has questioned one woman

Regarding a number
of armed robberies.

Sirs.
- Thank you, roberts.

- Very good. Thank you.
(sighing)

- Little wolfie mandelbaum.

Pickpocket extraordinaire,
daughter of marm mandelbaum,

Notorious new york fence
and bank heist financier.

- You know these women?

- I've arrested everyone in the
family twice in every borough.

I'd say so, yes.

- Uh, the daughter
doesn't appear

To have any official arrests
here in canada.

Is it possible
she's cleaned up her act?

- Not likely.
Let's bring her in.

(curious music)

- Wolfie mandelbaum.

- Detective william murdoch.
- Charmed.

(sighing)

Albert.

All this time apart and
this is how you call after me?

- It's been 15 years.

And it's inspector choi to you.

Detective?

- We're investigating
the attempted theft

Of the world's largest ruby,
the star of mandalay.

- Hm. Sounds like quite
the undertaking.

How exactly do I fit into this?

- We have reason to believe
that you are involved.

(chuckling)

- Albert. Really?

What is this?

I thought you believed
in the rehabilitative nature

Of the new york
state prison system.

Can't a person change?

- Miss mandelbaum,
we know that someone
of your... Stature

Would, at the very least,
have knowledge of the break-in.

So, if you weren't
directly involved,

It would behoove you to help us.

- I own and operate
a humble fruit market.

I'm afraid I no longer
associate with that sort.

- Is that so?

- Our constables have done
some digging,

And while your record
in canada may be spotless,

My informant tells me
you're running

A crook college of sorts.

- Apparently, you are
training and financing

A female crew of pickpockets,

Confidence women
and con artists.

- Mmm, hearsay and slander.

It'll never hold up in court.
- Wolfie mandelbaum,

You'll tell us
what you know right now,

Or I'll sit you in a cell
so quickly

You'll pass yourself going.

- Nothing comes free
in this world.

If I were to tell you
what I've heard, naturally,

I would need something
in return.

- Hm.
- What might that be?

- I hear there's a gala
occurring at the university.

Everybody who's anybody
will be attending.

- Absolutely not.

- Ah, don't behave like that.

I'm a pussycat!

Just a sucker for these
kinds of affairs.

- Sir, she may be
our best chance

At catching the thief.
(sighing)

- Fine.
But you won't leave my side.

- Splendid.

Now, I don't know for certain,

But I hear tell the panther
has set up shop

At a warehouse on richmond,
off spadina.

- The panther?
The master thief?

I heard he was dead.

- Oh, that's because coppers
like you

Are meant to think that.

Makes it easier for a body
to move around unfettered.

- How can we trust that you
aren't the fence?

(laughing)

- A long life in crimes
is measured in small steps,

Not spectacular leaps.

The juice simply isn't
worth the squeeze.

Detective.

Ah, albert,

You can pick me up
for the gala at five.

Try not to be tardy.

I hate to be kept waiting.

Ciao.

- Albert.

(scoffs)

(suspenseful music)

It would appear this panther
fellow has moved on already.

- Huh!

- He's been using this space

To practise breaking
into the university.

(scoffs)

(sighing)

After you.
- Hm.

(grunting)

- Very good.

Photographs of the university.

Even the vault.

- A copy of the schematics
for the annunciator.

- Oh! Sir.

- A rental agreement
for the building?

- Take a look at the name
of the lessee.

(sighing)

- Mr. Chaney. Doctor.

Inspector albert choi,
toronto constabulary.

- And what is this about?
- Dr. Tremblay?

Perhaps you should come down
to the station house

And explain a few things.

- You are working
with the panther.

- No, I'm not, I swear.

I only rented the warehouse

And provided the combination
to the vault.

- And the schematics?

For the burglar annunciator?

- Yes, I provided him
with those as well.

But that's all I did.
- Who is he?

- I've never met him.
He hasn't even called
on the telephone.

I dealt with him only
through correspondence.

- And through correspondence
you decided

To aid and abet a master thief.

Why? For money?
- No!

I told you I'm not his partner.

- Then why?

- I'm not some mastermind.

I'm an imposter.

Merely a scientist who lied
about her credentials.

- Which credentials?

- I never received
a phd from laval.

In fact, I was never officially
enrolled there.

- Did mr. Chaney not assess
your references?

- That's just it.

I did everything required
of a phd under the guidance

Of my mentor, dr. Simard.

But the university's policies
wouldn't admit me officially.

Dr. Simard lied to
mr. Chaney for my benefit.

Somehow, the panther
discovered this

And used the information
to blackmail me.

- You would have lost
your job at the university.

- Not only me.

Dr. Simard would surely
lose his career as well.

After all he's done for me,
I couldn't let that happen.

- So you chose to help a master
thief to steal the ruby.

- Initially. But I couldn't
go through with it.

I delayed the delivery in hopes
it would scuttle his plan.

It worked.

- Even if what you say is true,
dr. Tremblay,

You only succeeded
in delaying his scheme.

The panther will not
give up so easily.

- So, what did you come in
contact with that night?

- Ooh, well, ah, I noticed
that the horse statue

Looked like it might
fall over and I righted it.

Uh, I found a bit of a smudge
on one of the suits of armour,

So I gave it a bit
of a cleaning and...

- And?

- I danced with the bear.

Uh, but the sarcophagus!
Uh, that's where he was hiding.

I had to touch that.

- Let's start there.

- Uh, police.

Crime scene. Uh, evidence.

- Interesting.
- What is it?

- It's impossible to tell.

It's certainly some sort
of ancient grime.

I wouldn't want to touch it.

I'll need to look at it
under a microscope.

But we can't take scrapings
from these antiquities.

- Why not?
All of this is stolen anyway.

We should have no qualms
about reappropriating

Some scrapings in the name
of medicine.

- They might not like it.

- Oh, they won't see a thing.

Gentlemen, lady, a query:
That comely coquette, cleopatra.

Are the scholars certain
she secreted herself

In a sack to seduce caesar?

- Sir.

I had constables keep an eye
on miss tremblay's mailbox

In case the panther tried
to connect with her.

- No return address.

"it is time for us
to meet face to face.

9 p.M., windsor hotel,
room 303."

I take it that's
the panther's signature.

If he's written to her,

Then he doesn't know
we've arrested her.

We're one step ahead.
- Perhaps.

- You want me to do what?

- You'll be taking on
the persona

Of dr. Elise tremblay,

A mineralogist at
the university of toronto.

- And meeting with the panther.
- The jewel thief.

- Yes.
- In order to...?

- Find out how he intends
to steal the ruby.

- Well, why don't you just
wait for him to show up
and arrest him then?

- We don't have enough evidence
to convict him of anything.

- All we have is the real
tremblay's word

And she's never
laid eyes on him.

- We need to find out
what he's thinking

So we can lay a trap.

- Do I even look anything
like this woman?

- The panther's never
actually seen her.

- Then why me?

Oh! It's because
I'm a woman, is that it?

- We need you
because the panther

Is the most brilliant
mastermind thief in the world,

And we need someone to trick him
into revealing his plan.

And you are the only person

That is clever enough
to pull it off.

- Good answer.

(sighing)

- So, gentlemen, I believe
we've found our culprit.

Fungal spores.

- Fungus? Ugh.
- Contagious?

- Presumably.
- All right.

Well, what's the cure?

Hurry up.
This rash is killing me.

- Well, this fungus
is only found on the corpses

Of humanity's vilest souls.

- What?

- Some believe the supposed
curses of ancient egypt

Are in fact the slowly
developing effects

Of this fungus,
which infects

All who dare disturb antiquity

With a fate worse than death.

- There's no way.
That can't be true.

- Oh, no.
I've read about this, henry.

Whether or not it is
truly a curse,

There is undoubtedly a fungus

Found exclusively
in ancient tombs.

It infects first the blood,
then the brain.

Like a parasite, it wipes out
one's consciousness

And turns a man
into a soulless automaton,

Groaning in endless pain.
(groans)

(laughing)

- Well, what's funny about that?

- Oh, constable higgins.

Mix some of this copper sulfate
with soap and water.

You'll be fine in a few days.

- Ha.
- Henry!

(gasps)

(laughing)

(knocking on door)

- Dr. Tremblay.
We meet at last.

- Mr. Panther.

Oh. I'm surprised
at the warm reception.

I am, after all, an unwilling
participant in your endeavour.

- I did not realize...

I was blackmailing
a woman of such, uh... Beauty.

- Well, I suppose people are
not always who they seem.

- Meaning what?

- Only that we all contain
surprises.

- Right.

Perhaps we should
get down to business.

The gala.

Is it going ahead as planned?

- As far as I know, yes.

- And the ruby will be
put on display?

- So you're still planning
to steal it?

- Of course.

- At the gala?

But that's impossible.

- Nothing is impossible.

Will the ruby be on display
all night

Or will it be unveiled
at a specific point

During the proceedings?

- They plan to deliver it
to the great hall at 7:30 p.M.

After the introductory remarks.

- Security?

- What of it?

- What additional measures
are in place?

- I haven't a clue.

After your last attempt,

They're keeping
their plan a secret.

The ruby will be under
constant guard.

There'll be a hundred eyes
on the star of mandalay

In the great hall
at every moment.

(chuckling)

- Well, that won't be a problem.

- Why not?

Now, now.

You can tell me
your little plan.

Don't leave me out
in the cold like this.

- I thought you were
an unwilling participant.

- Well, you've fanned the flames

Of my darker nature.

Now I'm left to sit here
burning with desire.

- I had no idea
you were so... Wicked.

- Nor did I.

Didn't know being a part
of a criminal enterprise

Could be so... Thrilling.

- Some take to such
iniquity with ease.

- How does it feel...

To take something
you know you shouldn't?

- It is a sensation
without equal.

- Well, then let me take it.

Let me be the one to hold it

And feel it and deliver it

To ecstatic... Freedom.

- Hm. Naughty, naughty.
- Mm-hmm.

- But that is my task
and mine alone.

- Well, you'll never succeed
with so many people

Watching at the unveiling.

- It will be in my possession

Before it ever makes it
to the hall.

- Ah, then you plan
to crack the safe, do you?

- Oh, that won't be necessary.

That which I desire...
Will be mine.

Doctor, please.

You can share in its glory
after I've stolen it.

- Then our glory will have
to wait as well.

Goodbye.

- He intends to steal it
while it's in transit.

- From the vault to the gala.
- He all but confirmed as much.

- Excellent work.

From the vault
to the great hall,

This is the most direct route,
along the south corridor and in.

- The kitchen gives access
to the south corridor.

- He could hide in there
and emerge into the corridor
to steal the ruby.

- Except that the kitchen
will be in use for the gala.

- Ah, yes. Mrs. Brackenreid

And the ladies'
auxiliary committee

Will be preparing
a scandinavian buffet.

- Oh! At their last function,
they had crab legs.

- He'll have to use a disguise
as to not arouse suspicion.

A chef or a waiter.

- What if we send the star
of mandalay the long way,

Along the length
of the building here

And down the north
corridor and in.

- That makes the path
much longer.

More opportunities
to interrupt its journey.

- Yes, but he doesn't need
to know about it.

We'll create a second,
fake ruby procession

That will go along the original,
direct route.

- And lure him to steal it.

- Allowing us to nab
the panther red-handed,

Without him being anywhere
near the ruby.

- Excellent. One good scheme
deserves another.

- Scandinavian buffet.

(indistinct chatter)

- Welcome one and all.

Thanks to your generosity,
in only a few short years,

Our world-class establishment
will be open to the public.

(applause)

This museum will be the jewel
of canada for decades.

Centuries.
And, speaking of jewels,

Very soon, you will be treated
to a viewing

Of the world's largest ruby,
the star of mandalay.

To the royal ontario museum!

(all): To the museum.

(orchestral music)

- The guest then refills
his or her plate, ah,

With the delight
of his or her choosing.

- I have to serve myself?
- Oh, yes,

But you are permitted
to help yourself

As much or little as you like.

- And it's all cold?

- Well, it's the swedish
tradition.

- I've heard of this.
There's a restaurant
in new york city.

They call it a smörgåsbord.

- A what?
- A smörgåsbord.

- All right.
And if anybody sneezes?

- Oh, ah...
- Because it is one thing

If it is on your own dinner,
but it is quite another

If it's on everybody else's.

- What you need, right,
is a piece of glass
all along here.

- Yes.

Indeed.
We should do that.

It's quite smart.

Ah. Hm, right.

- Chaney has been apprised
of the plan.

The decoy will be
on the move shortly.

- I still haven't seen
the panther.

- He'll show himself.

- Ooh.

(sighing)
- excuse me.

Ah, ah, ah.

- Oh, my, you have
a firm hand, albert.

- What do you think
you're doing?

- I'm just having fun.
- Hm. Put it back.

- I was just doing it
to tease you.

If I wanted to pick
someone's pocket,

Do you really think
I'd let you notice?

- Don't try that again.
- Or what?

(indistinct chatter)

- It's not gossip,
it's the truth!

She does all her own stunts.
I read it in the sentinel.

- Well, as her close
and personal friend,

I can tell you that ruth newsome
is a true heroine.

- You know her?
- I do.

- There he is.

- Dressed as a waiter,
just as we thought.

- It appears our trap
is going to work.

- Let's hope so.

- If you'll excuse me.

(clears throat)

What are you doing?

How many times have I told you

That you can't leave a tray
for the guests to see?

And you haven't refilled
the herring.

The key to a successful
smörgåsbord...

- Oh.

If he doesn't go
for the ruby now,

Our entire plan'll
be for nought.

She's--
- I've got it.

Mrs. Brackenreid!
- Wha...?

- Apologies, but a guest
is inquiring

Into obtaining your services
for a luxury cruise.

- Oh!
- Quebec city to the cape.

- Oh, well, cape cod!
How wonderful.

When does it depart?
- There's no cruise.

- Oh.
- I'll explain later.

- Well, that waiter.

He looks familiar.

- It's the uniform.
Thoreau warned us

Of enterprises that require
a change of clothes.

Conformity crushes
the individual.

- Indeed.

- Let's go.

(glasses clinking)

- Just give it to...

(suspenseful music)

- I've always wondered what
happened to the dinosaurs.

- What do you mean?

- They were huge,
fearsome creatures.

- Why did they die out?

- Maybe they didn't.

- Then where have they been
for the last 60 million years?

- Well, there are some
in alberta, aren't there?

- No. No, I don't think
there are.

- How could you know?

There's no way that people
could have checked everywhere.

I've never even been
to toronto island.

- Well, I've never been
to the moon, either,

But I'm certain
there's no dinosaur bones there.

- Well, now you're just
being ridiculous.

There's no...

(chuckling)

He went for it.

- Going somewhere?

- Well done!

That is a relief indeed.

- He refuses to say anything,

But given that we caught him
with the decoy in hand,

I'd say we have
a pretty strong case.

- More importantly, it's safe
to bring out the real mccoy.

- Thank you, gentlemen.

Thank you.

- Hm.

- Everything all right?

- I don't know.

- If you're feeling
that it was all a tad too easy,

I share the sentiment.

- Job well done.

Shall we toast?

- Hm. Yes.
- Yes.

- Roberts, did you see
that man?

- What is it?

- He has the same rash
that I have.

How could he have...

Oh, my god.

The panther was
in the sarcophagus.

- But that would mean...

- Thank you.

- There you have it.

There's no rash on his hands.

- And?

- The panther was inside
of the sarcophagus.

But I just saw a man
in the crowd who has

The same rash that I've got.

- So this isn't
the panther, then.

- Let's try to find
that other man.

- What... What's this then?

Why aren't you
refilling the trays?

- We're suddenly unsure
whether or not

We have the correct culprit.

- Culprit? He's a waiter.

He's...
(gasps)

No! Are you an actor?

Yes, you are!

- An actor?
- Yes.

Thomas and I saw him
onstage last week.

He did a play with john.

Um, kenneth sanborne, isn't it?

Oh, you were quite good.

- Thank you, ma'am.
- You're welcome.

- So you really are
an actor, then?

- Yes.

I thought this was
all a performance.

- What do you mean
a performance?

- I was told it was all part
of a show for the crowd.

Entertainment in
the town square, as it were.

- Who told you this?
- Mr. Pantera!

He promised to help my career.

- Pantera is italian
for panther.

- He's one step
ahead of us again!

(man grunting in the distance)
oh, no.

The ruby's missing.

- Sir, we need to lock
all of the doors now.

It may not have left
the building just yet.

- But these men need
medical attention.

- Yes, sir.

- Everyone!
Attention, attention please!

- What are you doing?
- We need to lock the doors.

The ruby is missing.

- Have the waiters
lock the doors.

Don't let anyone leave.

Just don't create
a scene, please.

- Right.

- We don't know precisely
how much time passed

Between when the guards
were attacked

And when they were found.

- No more than
two or three minutes.

But I suppose he could have
been out the door in one.

- Possibly, but the ushers claim
no one left the building

In the moments
prior to the commotion.

- So it may still be
in the building.

- Certainly a possibility.

- Sir, I found someone!
(muffled screaming)

- What's going on now?
Who's this?

- I believe this is
one of the guards.

- Guards? Which guard?

- The one guarding the ruby.

- Then who was taken out
to the ambulance?

(gasping)

- This isn't the hospital.

- No.

This is station house
number four.

And you're under arrest.
- What? How did you know?

- Hm.

It would seem that
we were both cursed.

- Take him to the cells, henry.

Oh, but first.

The star of mandalay

Has a date with
the royal ontario museum.

- Ladies and gentlemen,
the star of mandalay!

(all gasping)

(applause)

Thank you, inspector.

You have saved
the royal ontario museum.

- Did the guests really not
notice anything was amiss?

- Rumours were swirling that
a heist was narrowly averted.

But it seems to have done
nothing to hinder donations.

- Toronto does love
a little scandal.

- Indeed.

And madam?
- Wha...?

- The smörgåsbord
was magnificent.

- Oh my goodness!
(gasps)

Well...

Good thing my husband's
not here.

(laughing)

(indistinct chatter)

- Harrison olyphant,
the king of thieves.

You not only attempted
the robbery of the century,

You managed to drag two innocent
people into your scheme,

Mr. Sanborne and dr. Tremblay.

- A good thief uses the tools
made available to him.

- Those are people
you are talking about,

People whose lives
you've irreparably altered.

- Are you even
a broadway producer?

- Any dope can throw a dime
or an idea at a play

And call himself a producer.
No, I'm a thief.

An aging one at that.

With the advent
of your security system,

It felt like the perfect time

To hit one last score
and retire for good.

- Well, it's no cabin
on the water,

But I do hear
wonderful things

About the kingston pen
this time of year.

Detective.

- Dr. Tremblay.

- Thank you for saving
the ruby, detective.

I apologize for my part
in this terrible scheme.

- I realize you felt as though
you had no other option,

But I can't guarantee
you won't be facing charges
on this matter.

- I understand.

- What will you do now

If your time at the university
does come to an end?

- I don't know.

But I think I'll feel better
without any secrets.

- Indeed.
All the best to you.

(sighing)

Job well done, sir.
- Yes,

But running back and forth
through the university

Has me ready for bed
like never before.

Hm.

- Is something missing?
- My key.

To my room.

Have I misplaced it, or...?

Excuse me.

(curious music)

- I told you you wouldn't notice

If I actually wanted to pick
someone's pocket.

- You are quite a devil,
aren't you?

(chuckling)

- You got your man, inspector.

Now it's time for you
to get your woman.

(theme music)
