let me cut it why do you always want to

cut people what

what Henry who is it

what are you doing here I need your help

I've done a very bad thing

[Music]

perfect William what are you doing Julia

I believe I've solved our problem oh one

problem

yesterday at the park I turned my back

on Susanna for the briefest of moments

she crawled away and was nearly struck

by a boy on a tricycle

in the blink of an eye Anything could

happen so I have invented the

all-purpose baby tether

[Music]

it's a leash it's a tether for her

safety you see even here at home it

could keep her from reaching the stove

or something in my workshop William

it's a leash

we need to allow her to practice her

crawling without putting herself In

Harm's Way hence the tether leash

I'm off to work

I'll see you at dinner time

For Heaven's Sake oh come here

oh

I have an idea

let's do something dangerous

[Music]

where is everyone Murdoch

well George is still on his honeymoon

Henry called in sick and Evans and

Langston are taking care of a traffic

block a horse has sat on an automobile

well let's hope something doesn't fall

in your lap will you'll be stuck with me

detective Murdoch

I take it we'll be spending the day

together

yes yes of course I'll be right there

a few months ago I started using my auto

to deliver packages in our Courier yes

but

my telephone number ended up in the

hands of some

unsavory people they offered to pay me

double my fee the implication was that I

wouldn't ask any questions so these

people were likely criminals and the

packages likely contained illicit Goods

what's the difference

so I didn't look inside their packages I

don't look inside anyone else's packages

either

possible deniability may help you sleep

better at night but it is hardly a

substitute for Morality the point is

these are dangerous men

and they're after me so

inform the inspector the inspector swore

he'd fire me if he ever caught me

working a second job again I would be

more concerned about being arrested for

criminal conspiracy that's why I need

your help to get it back

you got what back the parcel

you see a couple of nights ago I got a

call

I went to pick up a delivery from a man

named rankins he didn't give me a name

just an address on Tyndall Avenue

when I got there

someone was being arrested who was it

the man I was delivering the parcel to

had to be did you stop I didn't want to

get mixed up and whatever was going on

so I went back to the corner where I

picked up the partial but there was no

sign of rankins I looked him up in the

city directory but no luck

that's why I went home

and

where's the parcel

I was about to throw it out but

well someone was paying me a good fee to

deliver it so it had to be valuable

I figured as long as I'm going to toss

it out anyways

why not take it to a pawn shop

severing once and for all your thinned

Tethered to morality I didn't set out to

do anything wrong I just

did whatever seemed all right in the

moment

so these two men one with a knife are

seeking a statue out of a horse yes so

take your palm take it back to the pawn

shop I didn't pawn it I sold it and I

only got two dollars for it but now it's

gone and that old pawn broker won't tell

me who he sold it to I need your help

once we have to find that horse

I left the constabulary Henry

I'm no longer an investigator what

I don't find that statuette don't kill

me

please

I need your help

single gunshot wound at close range no

identification

but there's this what's your name

used to be five crisp 100 bills okay

so this fella is walking around with a

small fortune honey

someone gets wind of it and tries to rob

him you have an altercation he ends up

dead

but they didn't take the money

you can't exactly spend a bill with a

bullet hole through it Murdock

a lucky shot both of them

[Music]

science has back in five minutes

[Music]

what Ned whistling it's annoying didn't

realize I was that Melody's been stuck

in my ear all week

there he is

right

what what are you what are you gonna do

um tell him I'm a detective and the

statuette was left behind at the scene

of a robber he Ergo is a suspect that's

good

that's good

so suspicion Falls to you unless you are

able to exonerate Yourself by telling me

who else may have been in possession of

said statuette

you know I'll bet you dollars to Donuts

it was that Pie Face Charlie who was in

here just this morning this man

purchased the statuette no no he's the

one who sold it to me but then he came

back later looking for it real Daft type

it's got to be him I mean the woman who

bought it she wouldn't be involved in a

crime a woman witness saw a woman near

the scene of the crime describe her for

me classy all over there's a fat chance

she did anything criminal

nevertheless describe her due diligence

Etc listen Pally it ain't her I mean she

didn't pay me with this fancy check

she's not the criminal type if I could

have a look at that would you say your

name was

detective millage what if I could take

just a quick look okay pal let me see

your badge

how much for this what hey hey come back

here wait

I told you it would be dangerous

wait

Genesis

oh but God I'm a criminal I can't

believe I did that a pencil

give me that

look it's for twenty dollars I knew he

ripped me off that hardly matters at

this juncture we now know the buyer is B

Vermont we have an address in Rosedale

let's go my order's just around the

corner a moment what are you doing

writing a wrong

sending this back to the pawn shop

thank you for seeing us Mrs Vermont

what can I do for you gentlemen we are

private investigators with the Pinkerton

agency our client has hired us to locate

an item a golden statuette of a horse I

understand you may have purchased it yes

that's right our client seeks its return

he sold it accidentally for a pittance

it holds great sentimental value

well I'm afraid it holds the same for me

you see my late husband kept race horses

the statuette reminded me of his

favorite Maiden

to me it is priceless

I shall keep it on the mantle in

Benjamin study until the day I die

now if you'll excuse me I have a funeral

to plan of course thank you for your

time

foreign

[Music]

she has it let's go get it back I

recognized her husband

the man in the oil painting his surname

somehow eluded me but he's been in the

papers every day here look rest made in

Vermont it says the culprit is Nathan

fine of Tyndall Avenue in Parkdale

that's where I was making the delivery

this guy must have sent those men after

the horse the article describes him as a

bookmaker and

violent criminal and this violent

criminal's friends are going to kill me

Watts we have to break into that mansion

and steal back that statuette and we'll

be doing no such thing we've already

been lying if we're only breaking the

law to do something good namely saving

my life

then isn't that kind of better

you know

overall

sometimes the greater of two evils is in

action but in this instance my boundary

is firm plus it remains unclear what Mrs

Vermont's interest is in all this

and I'll do it myself

there's no talking you out of it

no

right I noticed the house was not in

model repair the gate at the end of the

Hedge was a jar and one of the windows

in the Parlor has a broken latch

so

don't drive a diagram

single gunshot wound close range any

signs of a struggle any other injuries

no nothing unusual at all then

just this

fingers

Discord

dark spots

I believe I've seen this before

this is the result of contact with

silver nitrate silver nitrate what's

that it's a chemical commonly found in

dark rooms

this man was a photographer

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

have you seen my eyeglasses I'll check

the Parlor

Scott never mind

you're on this train around my neck

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

I question the wisdom of you taking it

its absence might be noticed I was

hoping I could glue the pieces back

together the men awaiting its return May

notice that they said they would hunt me

until I was dead I can't die

if I died then what that is Humanity's

ultimate question is it not but well you

ponder that have you noticed the man

behind us don't look it's been following

us are you sure no but certainty is a

rare thing this way

keep moving we'll go to Queen and get on

A Streetcar to see if he follows what

what

look that store window

come on

time

it's a miracle

ah Henry I'm not sure this is the Cure

All you think it is they're identical

those men will never know the difference

the statuette is worth six cents why did

someone pay you a healthy fee to deliver

it to a career criminal undercover of

Darkness I don't know

clearly the statuette itself is not what

those men are after they asked for the

parcel I'll give them the partial

problem solved

[Music]

and here's the key rankins rookie you

wanted the partial this is it enough

cut him I don't have any key I'm not

rankings say one more thing we don't

want to hear right

should I really cut him yes

yes and then the whole neck or just a

little cut he doesn't have it got him

wait wait I have it I have the key

hand it over or else you're a dead man

you're not a dead man

I'm rankings and I'm your only hope

do you really think Mr fine will be

happy when you tell him that I'm dead

and the key is lost forever

who said we work for fine

if you want the key

you paid double

you meet me back here at 6 PM with the

money

or the key goes into Lake Ontario

are you mad you only give yourself six

hours we had to be believable we don't

even know what the key is for to say

nothing of where it is we know exactly

where it is Mrs Vermont broke the statue

out obviously the key was inside

and since Mrs Vermont had the original

figurines you must have the key

your logic is Flawless and I apologize

if my toners won't have surprised but it

reflects my feelings don't look the man

is back where I said don't lie I need to

know where not to look behind you and

now you can look he's coming right for

us

gentlemen I beg your pardon my name is

Mr Holly I'm here to extend you an

invitation to what to a meeting with my

employer Mrs Vermont

[Music]

it closed

they're usually open at noon detective

sorry I'm late I think I have everything

oh

very well would you like to come in

that won't be necessary is something the

matter

we need to know if you recognize this

man oh Heavenly Jesus and his apostles

[Music]

sorry

never seen a dead man before right sorry

about that that's Mr cone

whatever's happened to him perhaps we'll

spare you the details yes

quite right well can you tell us about

him he was a regular customer a real

Enthusiast he always developed his own

photographs

up to something elicit people tell maybe

perhaps sir

can you tell us anything else about him

he lived in that building on Duchess and

Beverly I believe

right

thank you very much

[Music]

I apologize if Mr Holly was Brusque with

you gentlemen but it was important that

I speak to you immediately

I'm afraid I wasn't entirely honest with

you earlier

the statuette you inquired about meant

nothing to me you only wanted what was

inside

you are clever

so I ask you have you found what you're

looking for

you have what we're looking for

I'm afraid I do not

shall we speak plainly gentlemen yes

please the key was not in the maiden

then where is it I was hoping that you

could tell me you see should you find it

I would very much like the opportunity

to purchase it our client is highly

motivated to see its return

and has your client told you what that

key is for

no

because you may be aware my husband was

murdered

a few days ago I received an anonymous

telephone call

a man selling evidence that would

convict his killer

the key is to a locker in Parkdale

station which contains that evidence

they already arrested someone a Mr fine

the police are going to release him by

the end of the day

Mr fine he wants that evidence so he can

eliminate it

he killed my penny and now nothing is

going to happen to him

[Music]

oh thank you

Mr finest who hired you is that right

our client is someone who's caught in

the middle

whoever you work for

please do not give that evidence to Mr

fine

[Music]

consider this a retainer for your

services

regardless you can keep it

but if you bring me that key I will see

to it that you are paid twice what

anyone else is offering

[Music]

I'm no closer to finding the key but

this changes our aim we can't deliver

the key to Mr Fine's men why not because

he will destroy the evidence and go free

so

that is an affront to justice as soon as

we find that key I'm giving it to the

people who will kill me if I don't end

of story

oh

I've stepped in sick

sick oh

Henry

I find your position on the matter of

Justice abhorrent that you are a police

Constable makes it all the more

troubling

not seeing as we have no idea where the

key is

the point is entirely academic

rankins must have it oh

think about it if rankins is the guy who

had the evidence maybe he's the one who

made the Anonymous phone call to Mrs

Vermont

playing to customers against one another

maybe he agreed to sell it to fine but

decided to hold out for more money I'll

bet you anything he never put the key in

that figurine which scarcely helps you

rankins is a ghost we have to try

we can go back to where he gave me the

parcel maybe there'll be some sign of

him

shoot 15 cents for a pair how much for

one shoe why do you own one shoe shined

only one shoe was dirty one shoe is Two

Shoes it is not

shoe shines a shoe shine friend it's one

thing can we get going fun

make it quick

oh

[Music]

here it is this is where he gave me the

parcel

[Music]

interest

maybe he lives in one of these

apartments or someone knows him at least

[Music]

here we are got you some Beverly

this must be Mr Collins building

uh-huh see that tomb sticks in your ear

you'll be whistling it all week

I got you right

if you catch me whistling again you can

smack me

right it's the pawn broker we can't let

him see us hey you stop stop stop stop

stop come back

should we look into that I'm

sure come on now

yay I just want my check

did we lose him he didn't stand a chance

I almost killed someone

uh

Henry

what's this the box from the statuette

which one the one rankings gave me I

took the statue out before I sold it

[Music]

nothing are you sure

curious

[Music]

oh my God I'm not gonna die

[Music]

give this to those men Watts if you do a

notorious murderer Mr fine will go free

I don't they'll kill me

the parcel was entrusted to you the key

was in the parcel it's yours to do with

as you see fit

but you engaged me which led to me

learning the facts of the situation my

knowledge of these facts demands I

informed the police knowledge doesn't

demand anything it does if I wish to

lead an ethical life who cares about

that

if I don't show up with this key or

those men think that I told the police

they'll kill me what

I have a wife and a daughter at home

we open the locker ourselves we

ascertain that the evidence is relevant

if it is we photograph it you deliver

the key to the men who want you dead and

I deliver a facsimile of the evidence to

the police anonymously after enough time

has passed that the men will no longer

suspect your involvement

fine

Excelsior

what Excelsior finds strands of wood

used for packaging delicate Goods I know

what it is how on Earth do you know what

it's called

that's common

a lot of photographs

it doesn't appear that Mr cones are

peeping Tom

private investigator ah

so which one of these cases is going

killed

aye aye I know that fella

oh I think I do as well the bookmaker

that's right fine

I heard he was arrested for possibly

murdering the wealthy racehorse owner

what

sir these photographs are numbered

112.

126 so there's 13 Missy

perhaps the photos in between depict Mr

fine

murdering someone

so cone took the photos offered to sell

them to fine he pays 500 and keeps the

photos

and then kills Mr Cohn to ensure no one

ever finds out the truth

I think they've just found our kilometer

[Music]

stop what there's a man sitting to our

left reading a newspaper there's another

man sitting to our right reading a

newspaper they're both reading

yesterday's papers

they must be watching the locker Norm

it's just a coincidence

what do we do

I have an idea you'll be from Cincinnati

I'll be from Vienna

[Music]

oh man God

foreign

[Music]

[Music]

thank you

hey

follow that automobile do it quickly

I already talked to you people

you people

coppers

you don't respect me I don't respect you

luckily I don't need you

all you've got is some anonymous tip

with no evidence

my lawyer is going to get me out of here

by the end of the day

Mr fine you are being detained regarding

the murder of Benjamin Vermont

I'm here regarding another dead man

Milton Cohn never heard of him

he was found murdered down by River

Street earlier this morning oh

well you know I'll send his widow some

flowers

he had five hundred dollars tucked into

his jacket she can buy her own flowers

a withdrawal was made from your account

at the Dominion Bank for five hundred

dollars cash just this week

what can I tell you

quite a coincidence don't you think

sometimes things mean something

sometimes they don't

Mr fine I believe you killed Mr Cohn

because of something he knew about Mr

Vermont's murder I'm tired of this you

want the truth about Vermont

find rankings

what do we do with him now just leave

him in there

foreign

[Music]

we wait for the boss

and here we are

[Music]

this is what was in the locker that's

right

fetch the gasoline and start a fire will

you

what about him

make it a big fire

[Music]

what is this

there's nothing in here

this is the guy that's what was in the

locker Which locker the locker Shep the

key

145.

get back to the railway station at once

let's go

what do we do with him what do you think

leave him here he could go to the police

we have to do something about him yeah

I'm

we tell him not to go to the police

I'm not much for conversation

what was that

there

run

[Music]

Mrs Vermont was set on destroying the

evidence that is in that Locker we can

safely say she is not a grieving Widow

seeking to convict her husband's

murderer

do you think she killed him herself

almost certainly

which means Mr fine is innocent see I

should have just given the key to his

men in the first place and this would

all be over and we wouldn't have nearly

been shot dead in the alley

now what do we do

this is a good question

let us entertain the scenarios available

to us

scenario one we returned to the station

in an attempt to retrieve the evidence

from the law the men with yesterday's

newspapers see us recognize us kidnap us

and take the key Mrs Vermont destroys

the evidence and goes unpunished for the

murder of her husband they'll also kill

us yes I in light of that part we will

surely be killed

scenario two

you deliver the key to Mr Fine's men

they take it to the station where the

men with yesterday's newspapers see them

if fines men come out alive they will

likely believe you led them into this

trap and thereafter seek to kill you if

they don't come out alive Mr fine

himself will have to think that rankins

you was in League with Mrs Vermont and

led his men to their deaths whatever the

outcome you will likely be killed

scenario three we deliver the key to Mrs

Vermont

she goes free and Mr finds men seek you

out and kill you

[Music]

you mailed the king to detective Murdoch

with a note explaining its relevance

he takes it to the station where the men

with yesterday's newspaper see him and

alert Mrs Vermont allowing her a chance

to flee meanwhile Mr Fine's men seek you

out and kill you

none of these scenarios sound good

there remains scenario five

in which you deliver the key to the

detective and the inspector in person

you explain everything they deploy

constables to protect you indefinitely

while they retrieve the evidence and

attempt to prosecute Mrs Vermont her men

and perhaps even Mr Fine's men who did

oh what the hell after all assault you

the inspector learns everything

you go to jail I'll lose my job but not

your life

[Music]

you don't understand

I wasn't delivering Parcels because I

wanted the money I needed it

her house was a gift from Rupert and

Lucinda but we can't afford it if I lose

my job we'll be out in less than a month

as imperfect as it may be it's the only

scenario that results in anything other

than you or both of us getting killed

face the inspector

you do it I'd very much rather not it's

your predicament and one I would have

been out of if you're stupid morals

hadn't have stopped me from giving the

key to this man as soon as we found it

we never would have found the key if I

hadn't stolen the check from the pawn

broker whose ire caused me to topple

arse over tip into your automobile

[Music]

heads it's me

Tails it's you

[Music]

Mr fine claims he doesn't know Mr Cohn

and that the 500 is just a coincidence

and decorate Station House one is about

to let him go it seems that without the

missing photographs they don't have

enough evidence to convict him fine

didn't give you anything all he said was

that the answer lies with a man named

rankins rankings who's rankings I have

no idea

what is it Higgins

but I can read

oh just a sec doctor what's the message

hello

I thought you're off sick

I was Sir I'm feeling much better now

we'll get back to work then

right away

all right I'll see you then

everything all right in the home front

oh yes Julia just needs me to bring home

a lens for our slide projector

once again I'm at a loss

I couldn't go through with it

active Murdoch is invested

foreign

detective Murdock is investigating the

death of a pi named Milton cone but I

saw his photo cone is rankins the man

who gave you the parcel precisely

rankins must be his Alias fine told

detective Murdoch that rankins is the

key to the case but he has no idea that

Conan rankins are one in the same

so what so it gave me an idea scenario

six

the timing will have to be perfect

we lure all the players together at

exactly the same time Mrs Vermont thinks

she's getting just what she wants but

instead she gets caught red-handed

foreign

[Music]

for you look who's from

rankings

what on Earth

go to this Locker at Parkdale station

and wait the killer will appear at 6 00

PM well okay

[Music]

and Truth Mrs Vermont my client was not

a disinterested party he presented

himself to me as a clumsy delivery boy

who had lost something of Great Value in

fact

he was a rat he pretended to have lost

the key in order to sell it to Nathan

fine at an inflated price when I

discovered the truth I brought it to you

you trust me I trust you will pay me

what you promised

double

Mr Fine's best price

promise is a promise

sorry I'm late but I have something for

you sis we don't want our money back we

want the key rankins you'll get a refund

and the key will end up right where you

want it to you have to do one last thing

nothing peruse

these men have concealed weapons is that

right or what's going on we didn't do a

thing

a pocket

oh yeah

certain constables

[Music]

I'm afraid I haven't the time I'm afraid

you aren't going anywhere

I'd like to see what's inside of this

envelope and inform you that you are a

suspect in the murder of Benjamin

Vermont

[Music]

I was having a liaison

with Mr fine

I met him when he approached Benny about

fixing a race

Betty refused of course

there's something wrong with me

Detective

I I crave excitement

and Mr fine was so exciting

[Music]

but Betty began to get suspicious

I think he hired the private

investigator who took these photos

[Music]

that night

Nathaniel And I met

then he was supposed to be traveling to

Rochester but he missed the boat and

when he found us together he was

Furious

he was out of his mind

Nathan fled but it was me that Benny was

angry with

he hit me

again and again I I had no choice but to

pull the trigger

[Music]

foreign

what are those

the bullets proved it was the same gun

used to kill her husband and the pi even

if her story of killing Mr Vermont in

self-defense were true she still

murdered Mr Cohen she's dead to Ross

that just leaves the identity and the

role of rankins I doubt he's important

Higgins what have you been

I was chasing a thief

what is he

he got away bloody hell of half a minds

of fire you

[Music]

what would you do with them I'm

considering keeping it

he lied to her and got her arrested

doesn't seem very moral to keep her

money

I've been reflecting on this Henry

morality is not a constant principles

are not immutable

do you know who I learned this from

I don't really know philosophy

do whatever seems all right in the

moment

Henry Higgins a notion as profound as

any

well sometimes I just say these things

as of today I intend to start living my

life in accordance with the teachings of

Higgins and today what seems all right

is taking this money and investing it in

myself

investing in hell

well

since Mr Cohn is no longer perhaps

Toronto could use a new private

investigator

[Music]

all right it's ready

what's this all about I've been working

on a little surprise

you see William you're right that

Suzanne is going to get up to all kinds

of trouble but there's nothing we can do

about that

in the blink of an eye something

terrible could happen but

something wonderful too could happen

we have no idea what the world has in

store for her

could you get the lights

[Music]

oh

[Music]

how did you do this well I had a little

bit of help from Mr Tallman at the

Photoshop

no wonder he said all of those strange

things

Trulia these are marvelous oh William I

just wanted to remind you that the

possibilities of her life are endless

and no tether

is going to keep her from exploring them
