All language subtitles for MS s02e02

Once again, I'm most grateful you
have given me your precious time

so that I may explain a little more
about my profession

and how it may interest
the ladies of your group.

It is not a group.

Miss Scarlett Group is a noun
that conveys neither the purpose

nor the quality of our membership.

We are a cultural society,
the Bloomsbury Ladies.

Cultural Society Julie
notices Parker.

As I was saying, I would like
to give a lecture to your cultural society,

revealing the fascinating world
of the private detective.

Brought to life with stories
from my own casebook.

My intention is to inspire your ladies.

I don't wish to sound boastful,

but I am the only female
detective in London

which is no doubt the reason
for the caliber of your clients.

The calibre of my clients.

It is our understanding that
you are engaged by the desperate

and impoverished who cannot afford
to hire your male counterparts.

I can assure you I've had many clients
who are neither of those things.

Perhaps not, but I would wager
that those clients had cases

that were deemed too lowly
to be taken on elsewhere.

You were suggesting I'm regarded
as somehow second rate.

I'm merely pointing out
that if we endorse you,

it may have implications
for the reputation at the society.

Completely understand
Miss Parker.

Once a reputation is lost,
it's so very hard to get back.

Which is why you can rest
assured Mrs.

Forbes that I will reveal

to no one the real reason
your son left the Navy.

How dare you,

and you have my word missus Woodhouse,

that it will not be for me

that others hear of your late husband's
gambling debts,

which I believe only exceeded
by the money he owed

to the brothels of Canning Town.

So how did it go?

Where is he?

This does not follow understood.

Fitzroy.

Get up.

Get off.

You get a stadium on.

Look at me Fitzroy.

Look at me.

How many fingers?

Oh no, it's three.

It's three, it's three.

It's not a guess.

No.

I want you to listen carefully.

Detective Fitzroy.

I don't give a damn
what you do in your private life,

but when you're on duty you turn up
on time in a fit state to work.

Now I have been ordered to turn you
into a competent detective and God help me.

You will toe the line and do
as you're told is understood.

Good.

Himself up man.

I could tell them till
I was blue in the face

that I'm hired on that it can
make a difference.

Of course not.

Yes, I have taken on a few cases

which are not paying the full going rate,

but to suggest that it's

because I'm a woman and some
how desperate is simply not true.

Visit has it absolutely not true at all,

although although
although perhaps

you should not have
upset my aunt like that,

you do not want to make
an enemy of her.

I've suffered your Aunt Ruth before
and to tell the tale yes,

but this is different.

You embarrassed her in front
of her ladies of the cultural.

Society, her very best
friends I suppose.

It's nice to hear
that she actually likes somebody.

Oh no, she knows them,

but you must be on your guard.

Analizer they aren't does
have friends in high places

and mark my words she will seek revenge.

Do any of these friends
in high places where top hat?

I do not know a Mrs Parker

I have come to see you
on my own volition.

But in that case.

How may I help you,
Mr sober?

I am a partner at Swab
and doorstep and insurance firm

based in HOLBURN
we provide cover for the lives

and properties of our clients
protecting them

from all these slings and arrows

that like me throw in return

for a monthly fee.

They receive an insurance policy

which means I believe I understand
how the insurance industry works.

Mr swarb.

What is it I can do for you?

Last night an item of considerable value
was stolen from one of our policyholders.

A sketch of the Ascalaph Aurata
or black witch moth drawn from life

on the Galapagos Islands in 1835
during Darwin's voyage.

Most of the Galapagos sketches were drawn
by the expeditions artist Conrad Martin,

but this was by Charles Darwin himself.

As you can imagine,
the value of his artwork

has soared since his death
earlier this year,

and as such we are facing a significant
payout.

Just to be clear,
I will be charging the full going rate.

I would expect nothing less good.

So tell me Mr.

Swamp,

where was this sketch stolen?

Your sign of forced entry
and no other exhibit stolen.

Whoever did this knew
what they were looking for,

but why go to the bother
to take the sketch out of the frame?

What does this tell you?

When I ask a question,
I expect an answer.

Detective Fitzroy, yes, Sir.

You must learn to analyze
a crime scene

and that involves more
than just taking notes.

Start using your initiative manner.

The fact that they didn't take
the frame means they had time.

There was no panic to snatch
and grab so good.

When was it called again

the month?

Escalator Odorata

found in central and
South America it's believed

by some native cultures
to be a harbinger of death and destruction,

scarlet.

inspector wellington

I take it this isn't coincidence.

I've been hired by the
insurance company to

investigate the theft
of the Dawes sketch

and what does this thing I'm doing.

This may come as a surprise
Inspector Wellington for myself

and my client did
not discuss you.

We're done here.

We have other lines
of enquiry sue

such as.

Quite understand that
you're asking for my help.

Already, I'm merely
making black conversation.

Although given the circumstances,
I can see how that can be misconstrued.

After all, we are in competition
and we not.

The owner of the museum
is Hannah Garrett.

Where would I find her?

Just another request for help
or we still making polite conversation?

Take the first Roy.

So even have no,
and your handwriting is illegible.

I'm afraid we are closed
for the day.

We'll reopen in the morning.

Miss Garrett.

Yes, my name is Miss Scarlett.

I'm here on behalf
of your injuries.

It's standard practice for an insurance
company to carry out their investigation.

And listen to woman.

Meaning you would be better
placed to gain my trust.

Do they really suspect me of stealing
the sketch myself?

I resent mascaret for no other reason
than I'm good at my job, as I'm sure you.

I am sorry if I was rude.

I run the museum on my own
and it is an all consuming venture.

Can make me tired and.

Somewhat cynical.

So tell me about the theft.

It happened overnight.

There was no sign of a break in.

Nothing else was taken.

Whoever stole it knew
the truth of the matter.

The sketch was the only thing
of real value here.

How did you come to own
the Darwin sketch?

I attended a lecture he gave
at the Royal Institution a few years ago.

I asked him a question
on the inherited characteristics

of the Black witch moth.

He was so modest.

He admitted that he did not know.

But two weeks later
a package arrived with a letter

answering my question and.

The sketch he'd drawn
on the Galapagos.

Thomas was furious Thomas.

My husband, Thomas Dashwood.

The naturalist.

He has an impressive reputation.

He used to encourage
my passion for science,

but as my knowledge grew,

so did his displeasure.

He wanted a pupil,
not a partner.

When I set up the museum.

He resented me for it.

But do you go by your your maiden
name of Garrett?

You're divorced separated.

I would divorce, but.

The costs, both financial
and otherwise.

Let's just say it is a high priced pay.

So where would I find you husband?

Careful with that, just
one of those is worth more

than your yearly wage.

Sorry Sir.

There's a lady here.

Mr.

Dashwood.

My name's Eliza Scarlett.

Whoever you are, it is customary
to wait until invited him.

Sorry Sir.

How many times have I told you that maid
must be dismissed many times?

Forgive the intrusion Mr Dashed,

but I hope you might have
a spare moment to talk.

I most certainly did not.

I'm giving a lecture
at the Royal Institution and yet again.

I'm behind schedule.

Take those out to the carriage.

It contains your wife.

I'm attempting to recover
the Darwin sketch

that was the whole intention
of that woman is to humiliate

and antagonize me.

I've already spoken to the police
and will not explain myself to you.

Whoever the hell you are.

If you want to speak to me
about my wife, get yourself a lawyer.

You saw yourself in.

You can see yourself out.

I would say he's not normally like this,
but that would be a lie.

Who are you exactly?

I'm a private investigator, so you're good
with clues, ostentatiously lofty in style

begins with the letter BOA.

Word puzzle makes the day go faster.

That and the bottle
of schnapps.

Can I get you something?

A new pair of lungs.

Thank you, thank you.

Please sit.

Yeah.

Usually I receive a look of this stain
when I light my pipe.

Never quite sure whether it is the fact
that I am a lady and smoking all

that I I'm an unwell lady and smoking it
could be just that I'm German.

I've lived here for 50 years.

Yet still treated like a foreigner.

I would wager it's all three
of those things.

A female private detective,
now that is a puzzle.

Well, I've been employed
by the insurance company

to investigate Miss
Garrett Darwin's schedule.

Last I heard my daughter in law's
name was still Dashwood.

But if you wish to deal with my son,

you will have to have
more assertiveness

than that young lady he is.

Bombastic, Abigail pardon,
ostentatiously lofty and style.

Bombastic

on pastic.

Yes, it is a good job.

You were here, Miss Scarlett.

You finish it.

My son does not approve
of my punshon for word play.

I believe.

I should take a nap.

Secure.

I will have my maid see you out.

Why?

Sorry.

excuse me

has he?

Well, nothing's going on.

I have no idea.

I just popped in to say hello
and I found them waiting outside.

They keep saying they found it.

They found it.

Everything.

They're all fakes.

You know what say?

And one of the things your office.

They have that on
the bottom of page 5.

Stolen sketch of the black witch
moth by Mr Charles darling.

Our award of 1000 pounds
is offered for a safe return

to Miss Eliza Scarlet of
43 Ebery Lane, London.

It wasn't me who placed it.

The sketches worth £500,
yet this office twice that amount.

Unless of course Miss Garrett
had a sentimental attachment to.

Perhaps it was worth the place.

The advert, I doubt she
has that kind of money.

And even if she did,

when I use my address
and not the museums,

she's not my client.

The insurance company
are just curious in itself.

What is that the insurance
company would hire?

You must be reason because
I'm good at my job,

that's the reason all I meant

is that they suspect Miss Garrett

and they hired a woman
to gain her trust.

Where are you going?

I'm coming with you.

Where am I going to reception?

I sent a message to someone
we need to question.

He should have arrived by now.

Eliza do I need to remind you
that this is my place of work, not yours.

Who is it anywhere a journalist
at the Illustrated police news.

As Sinclair,

please God, no, I am.

The advertisement was placed
anonymously.

We received a letter containing

only the wording
and the required date of publication.

When was this yesterday
in the Evening Post?

A little before 6:00 o'clock
as chief correspondent,

my editor, Mr Smythe came to me basil.

He said no one knows more
of Mr Darwin it than you do.

You must help the police
in their hour of need.

So the advert was placed
before the robbery happened.

My heart soars at the prospect
of our esteemed publication

being center stage of such
an intriguing mystery.

It's not a mystery.

Mr Sinclair.

It is a theft.

There will be a perfectly
rational explanation

to all of this stolen
artwork from the.

Like Charles Darwin himself,
Scotland Yard forced yet again

to turn to the Lady, Detective Scarlett,
not working for Scotland Yard.

I've been hired by the
insurance company

who wished to carry out
their own investigation.

My dear Miss Scarlett,
I feel you may have proved my point.

Is it not precisely due
to a lack of faith in the police?

The two are hired
in the first place.

Has requested, Sir, I've been perusing
previous fraud cases.

I've secured an address
for that art dealer art dealer you say?

And who might that be?

Let me ask you a question

and I want you to think
very carefully before you answer.

Be trying to make my life difficult.

So never sure you'll find things
in front of anyone else but me.

Think before you speak.

In fact, better still, don't speak
all unless I explicitly tell you to.

You're looking rather warm detectives
are you unwell?

No, Sir, perhaps it's
the Clement weather

we're enjoying it present

take my face Detective fits right.

If you wish to fit in here,

stop using words like Clement
yes Sir, sorry Sir.

Stop apologizing every five minutes.

Alert my cab that I'll be going
to Bethnal Green.

The scarlet

Fitzroy.

We'll get to it, man.

May I offer you
some constructive criticism?

No.

At times your man,

it could be a little more approachable,

particularly with those
who your subordinate

that nice young man looks like he could do

with the occasional well done.

Have you ever been to anyone
superior apart from your housemates?

Keep your constructive
criticism to yourself.

This dealer you're going to see.

I'm assuming he's connected
to the black market somehow.

Perhaps someone with previous convictions
for trading and stolen art.

Good I'm right.

There's no expression
you possess that I cannot read.

William, I know we're in competition,

but when all is said and done
we are on the same side.

The side of the law,

but on the same side when it suits
you and I don't trust you

when you sound so noble whoever plays

this advert knew exactly
when the sketch was going to be stolen.

I'd like to go back to the museum
and speak to Miss Garrett again,

and I suspect you would too.

We'd save ourselves time
if we shared our resources.

You speak to this dealer.

I'll go to the museum and we'll meet
up later to share our findings.

What about?

And perhaps I'll team up
with our journalist friend

and share my observations with him

and not just about the case,
but wider stories too, like.

The time you were drunk on duty
and not silver and card.

Who the hell do you
find these things out?

People speak to me.

It's my woman approachable manner.

Fine.

Ridiculous.

Why would I do such a thing
to claim the money

from the insurance and prop up
your failing business not failing?

There are leaks in the roof.

Paint peeling from the walls

and exhibits falling to pieces
you cannot afford to run this place,

but you're too stubborn
to sell it.

And will expose you
for what you are.

I think

get out now.

Ideally legitimate works of art
sold with full provenance.

In fact Inspector, I am insulted
that you would even ask my apologies.

Mr Gibson assume
that man with

12 convictions for
handling stolen goods

and three for fraud might be
the right person to talk to.

That was all in my past while I changed
man, your last conviction

was six weeks ago.

So perhaps you can think back
through the mists of time

to your criminal past and come up
some names for me to talk to.

There's nothing I can think of.

All of these things are.

Who's your phrase?

Legitimate works of art
with full provenance they are.

No, no, I guess I shall
have to check those so.

You have to be kept in custody
in the meantime now I think about it,

there is

one person comes to mind.

I thought it might be.

Yeah, this is the man you want.

He deals in specialist
works of art.

The one that was stolen.

I don't know his real name,
just what they call him the count.

Why are you following me?

I wasn't following you.

I lost my way you were watching me
in the Tavern.

Tell me who you are.

I will shoot you in the head.

No, you were not.

Why is that then?

Because there's a police officer
standing behind you.

Didn't think I'm an idiot.

Yes.

Since you ask.

Was Miss Garrett trying
to sell you the Darwin sketch?

I know nothing of this sketch
you speak of,

but I suggest you tread very carefully

and why is that exactly?

Because I'm a basinski.

My family is one of the oldest
dynasties in Hungarian nobility.

Am I supposed to be impressed?

Merely warning you that I have
influential friends.

I suggest you answer the question.

Or Inspector Wellington here will take
your leg and use it for firewood.

No one is Garth was not selling.

She was trying to buy,
but I told her I did not have it.

That conversation seemed to take
an awfully long time

because she did not believe me
at first she thought I was bargaining.

She had no money to offer,

only few exhibits from
the museum was Muslim.

The woman is desperate,

so I told her if I heard anything
I will let her know.

And have you heard anything?

Not a word getting
rather chilly in here.

Your groomer scarlet?

Perhaps the fire might need
a little help.

Very well.

I have heard one or two things
about Miss Garrett about her husband.

They say he pays extremely well,
no questions asked.

You want to find that sketch.

I know where I would be looking.

I'm going to a magistrate.

First thing get a warrant,
search Dashwood's house.

I'll meet you there difficult enough
without any added irritation.

Mama, I'm really mean it's
better to keep things simple.

You'll wait for me to contact you
with an update on her research went

and that is my final word on the matter.

I find this sketch.

Then I will make sure

that your employers know your part
and the investigation.

You still receive your fee unless
this is more about your ego.

Do you really wish
to talk about ego?

There's a Dutch gentleman
and Mr Lohman,

waiting for you in your office.

I'd like to discuss
the Darwin case.

Mr.

Lohman

from woman and host the company
who ensured the stolen picture.

No, the insurance firm
is serving Destin,

yeah?

See, I was visited
by one of the partners.

I have never heard of such company
described the man you met.

Small in stature,
Welsh accent, top hat

and he had a slight
birthmark on his forehead.

Whoever he is.

He does not work for my company.

Well if he didn't hire me,
didn't who did?

Why would this man give you a card
for a business that does not exist?

It does not make any sense.

It's always nice to see you,

but you really cannot keep
popping in like this.

It's a very nice car to boot.

The subtle that old embossing my father
was in the ink business

and there was nothing that comes close
to my passion than a well chosen font.

Oh well, then perhaps
you can help me.

I need to find out
who ordered these cards.

Hattie

want me to help you.

I mean like an assistant.

Yes, if you like I will take you

to every station as
INTERNALIZER and on the way

I should explain the twelve
types of calligraphy.

I can hardly wait.

Well.

What's the matter with him?

What is it now?

What the hell is this?

We have a warrant to search
these premises up.

My mother is extremely ill
and you come marching in by your maid.

I have said all I have to say
on this matter,

no just cause to be here, Mr.

Dashwood.

I would request
that you control your temper song.

just

fifthly

Fitzroy, what on Earth
is going on here?

Ah Wellington OH.

Thank you Sir.

Those young Fitzroy getting on.

Actually saw he's.

He's doing very well.

Let me hear it.

Commissioner asked me to check
in and I'm here, right?

Not at the moment, Sir.

He is out assisting me
on Darwin investigation.

You're happy with his progress.

Yes, it still has a lot to learn,

but yes I have to hear
that like his father know,

keep up the good work.

I am acting as consultant

to Miss Scarlett's extremely
important investigation.

Given my considerable expertise
in the business of stationary,

I do not boast when I say that I have
an encyclopedic knowledge of embossing,

calligraphy, kerning,

and the jewel in the crown
of any calling card.

The font.

My particular favor.

Was this card made on these
premises one moment please?

How do you may I ask you anymore?

Economical with your conversation
economical keep quiet.

We sold a book last week.

Do you remember who too?

Mr Reginald booth

I spoke to Wellington, I understand
you wish to speak with me.

I am here on behalf of my clients,
the Dashwood family.

I am their legal counsel
and as such, Mr.

Thomas Dashwood has asked me to relay

the sad news
of the passing of his mother.

My condolences Mrs.

Dashwood has been ill for some time

so it is not completely unexpected,

but still a terrible blow to her son.

As you can imagine,
he is stricken with grief

and requests that you desist
from harassing him any further.

Does he know?

He has asked me to point out
that he is a man of wealth

who could fund the most thorough
of legal challenges.

I would advise that any
future communications

come directly through myself.

I bid you a good day, Sir.

So the Welsh accent I detect Mr Booth
I failed to see the relevance.

Does it not customary to remove
ones hat when indoors?

I am a busy man with many
other appointments to attend Inspector.

You offend me so.

Kindly take it off.

This is quite ridiculous.

My car is waiting outside.

You take off your hat.

Or I'll take it off for you.

I believe you know,
an associate of mine.

Miss Scarlett.

Well.

Seems you are who
you claim to be.

Mr.

Reginald Booth, solicitor
of 28 Westerly Rd.

So tell me why you impersonating
a Mr.

Schwab who works
for bogus insurance fund.

I deny any such accusation
and furthermore would ask

if I am under arrest.

If so, you have failed to mention it.

You're free to go anytime.

Mr.

Booth, just as I am free
to go to the Law Society

and report you for fraud.

I have worked for the Dashwood family
for some years at first for Mr.

Dashwood's, late father,
then latterly for Mr.

Dashwood himself.

I am paid for my diligence
and compliance.

You mean you do?

You're told I do my best
for my clients.

Yes,

and what interest that Thomas Dash
would have in this scarlet.

It was not Thomas Dashwood
who told me to visit her.

temple of carnic

so missus Dashwood
was an intrepid explorer,

very much left out of the history books.

I've done some research
and there's no mention of her

among the otherwise malarkey allergy team.

The lawyer said when a family married
her off to a rich,

much older English husband,

he insisted that she stay
at home and behave more appropriately.

I can see why she liked you.

Then when her husband died, she hoped
to weak Kindle her passion

for the natural sciences.

Her son was a chip
off the old block.

He didn't want retaining his own career,

something he tried to inflict
on his wife too.

With Mrs Dash, which is the one
that got that journalist, Sinclair involved

that you clearly wanted to create a story.

Yeah, I can't quite work out a plan.

It's a puzzle, and it certainly is no.

I mean, there's a puzzle.

The discovery
of the Karnak king list

was famous for the race.

To find it involved discovering maps,
hieroglyphic riddles,

how Mrs.

Nash would love to Riddle.

When I met her,

she was trying to compete a word game.

I helped with the clue.

Maybe the enigmatic Miss Dashwood died
before her puzzle came to fruition.

It's late, we should pick
this up in the morning.

I'll see you home.

Seven letter puzzle.

Anagram

exactly.

I think I know
where they are and sketches.

Am I right in thinking
your mother-in-law is 100?

You miss Garrett.

She was the only one in that family
who ever treated me with kindness.

She came here many times, much
to the annoyance of her son.

Is it possible that on one of those visits,

she could have taken a spare set of keys?

Are you suggesting that
it was my mother-in-law

who had stolen from me?

We are, but with a good intention.

I trust this is not
a tale of kindness,

story of solidarity and compassion

is rather a difficult.

Sell well, if you would just give
this kind of a moment

to explain Mr Sinclair.

Mrs Dashwood's lawyer

hired me using the name of
a bogus insurance company.

Let's welcome Dustin.

Mrs.

Dashwood had a fondness
for translation and word play.

The name swap and Dustin
is an anagram.

For Darwin's bust.

My cup runneth over.

This is Dashwood hope.

This story would generate publicity
for the museum

to bring in the crowds for you.

It's the story of a woman trying
to make it in a man's world.

A female detective
investigating her along the way.

And a cunning trail.

Laid by a brilliant lady

who wasn't allowed
to be brilliant in life.

Your mother in law wanted to help you,
and it's Gareth.

I do not know what to say.

You need to find no words.

Miss Carrot

for Basil Sinclair.

She'll find them for you.

Thank you.

It's my pleasure.

And the story is published.

The scarlet will find business,

booming the vacuum
out the door to her husband, Smay.

When am I hate to admit it,

but you were right, it was only
because I'm a woman.

Now that's the case.

So,

so I want to be hired
for being good at what I do,

not because I wear a bonnet Eliza.

There was no escaping that you are a woman
just like there was no escaping

that I'm a man.

I'm also Scottish young enough to say
that I'm still only 30 old enough

to know better and these are all things
that I use to my advantage when it suits.

What do you use?

Bing Scottish to your advantage?

That's nothing like a drunken Scott

to deceive her overconfident
idiot at the poker table.

What I'm trying to see is use
what you have to your advantage.

So just like anyone else
does, man or woman.

There's no more complex than that,
so do not make it so.

Right I must leave.

I don't want to be stuck
with Mr Sinclair.

There is something in his manner

that gives me the urge
to punch him Inspector.

Might I trouble you
for a ride back to the office?

And on the way I can regale you

with my retelling of this
rather delicious story.

Spoke with your doctor.

That will be fine.

You also said you were lucky.

Your heart rate was dangerously erratic.

I could kill you
if it happens again.

I didn't tell my suspicions
as to what caused that.

Collapsing for suspect
was unforgivable,

so I assume you're
going to inform

Superintendent
Monroe of my behavior.

And why would I do that?

Anything that you do is me

who hastan suffer is me
whose head is on the block.

In his quest to make
something of his son,

my father sought help
in a long line of institutions.

His old boarding school
and then his beloved Sandhurst

and even a short spell
in the Navy.

How did they fare?

I was relentlessly bullied

and and they only served

to cement my father's opinion
that I am an embarrassment to our family.

And the police force is unfortunately
for me, his last hope.

It is a burden indeed to know
that your own father despises you.

And.

The opium has gone some way,
providing me with some relief.

All I heard growing up was a daily beating
in the workhouse.

We all have our scars.

If it's relief, it's sympathy or after.

Don't look to me.

Of all the men whose command
I have been under you.

You are the most decent man
of all of them

and that is why I will do whatever it takes
to make you proud of me, Sir.

So what do you suggest?

Put me on administration duty, Sir,
I'd be good at that, I know.

I can be a decent detective.

I just need some time
to learn the basics.

No, that's a decision then.

You coming on time
ready to welcome.

Take it from now.

Thank you Sir I will not let you down.

There is one more thing
Detective yes Sir.

Get our bloody haircut.

Consider it done, Sir.

Miss Scarlett.

Mrs Parker,
what a nice surprise.

Never have I been so humiliated
in front of my ladies.

What you did was unforgivable
and I'm sorry for it.

My intention was not to humiliate to you

and the accusations you made abhorrent.

Accusations based on truth I will use
every ounce of my influence.

To destroy you and your little
private investigation business,

I will have my retribution
to my full satisfaction

and see you ruined, Miss Scarlett.

Bees and other thoughts ran
through my head after you left.

So you do not think them now.

I did a little research
of my own.

It appears your accusations were.

Correct?

So.

Given you have proven
your resourcefulness.

I wish to engage you
in another matter.

These are the gentlemen I have selected
as potential husbands for my niece.

As yet she has had
no offers of marriage

and is not getting any younger.

In fact I believe she's the exact same age
as you Miss Scarlett.

Sure, I would like a complete dossier
on each candidate

and then I can make my choice
as to their suitability.

You wish to hire me.

Good day.

I'm confused Mrs Parker.

You declared my clients to be

either desperate or impoverished,

unable to pay the going rate,
yet you wish to be a client now.

I can assure you I am
neither of those things

and I am willing
to pay the full fee.

Why me?

Why not go to one of my male counterparts?

There is a very good reason I came
to you and no one else.

You are the only private
investigator I know

and it is no more complex than that.

Do you not make it so Eliza?
