this place

I can imagine

[Music]

lucky the bullet didn't do any more

damage

it was their state of mind

been through worse

[Music]

you're a strong woman pilot talked

but if you should ever need a shoulder

you know you can call on me

I almost forgot

there's someone here who wants to see

you

sounds like trouble it's not trouble an

old friend

he says he's moving to the city

buy the heart Mr Buchanan

I haven't seen you since Niagara

get back to the bar and lovely to see

you again Isaiah that's right

what are you doing here

I'm moving to Toronto to better myself

I'm going to take some courses at the

University

so

I didn't think it easy for a color man

to enroll ever hear of Mr delos Davis

of course it's not every day a black man

is named King's Council

family friend

he's gonna pull some strings for me

you're going to be a lawyer I will mine

too

I'm impressed I'm doing something right

already

thank you

shall we sleep

I wasn't planning on staying I best get

going well then allowed me to escort you

where

wherever you want

[Music]

see I hope I'm not too uh forward

walking you home

your husband won't mind

my husband is dead

come on

he's dead a lot of Mercy

if we'd only been by earlier

he's been dead for a while

[Music]

I have to say exactly how long

until we meet again may God hold you in

the Palms

stand back

sir I'm a coroner City of Toronto that

may be

but I'm Colonel Michaels and John is one

of my men

I have some preliminary findings we take

care of our own

[Music]

you think she knew him let's go find out

excuse me

did you know him

yes

his name was John Walsh he used to drink

in the pub where I clear tables all the

military lives too

we only normally passing

suppose so

you fancied him didn't you

I know it sounds mad he used to be an

officer and I'm nothing but a mermaid

how did you happen across this body

I was on my way home after work and I

saw something floating in the harbor

I don't know what possessed me to go and

see what it was I'm very sorry Miss true

Maggie Drew

did Mr Walsh ever get into any fights at

the pub

no why

I noticed some injuries on the body they

aren't consistent with drowning

I only saw him last night he was fine

did you see him leave

yes around midnight

or too

I don't know

I'm sorry I have to go

[Music]

what happened

a young Soldier was found dead in the

harbor last night we were first on the

scene his body was in the water for a

while

so it's a military case

does it matter

the boy had injuries at the back of his

head and defensive wounds on his hands

they have their own investigators this

case is not within our jurisdiction

as a military man myself I know how

things work

I can guarantee they will conduct a full

investigation

doctor

oh George I'm sorry am I on your way not

at all

uh well yes but I assume it's good

reason

I am assisting a former colleague with a

research study what kind of study

actually it's one that you could partake

in we need participants Dr Renee and his

student Theodore Simon designed this

challenge as a part of their study into

the capacity of the human mind capacity

for what intelligence oh

Sarah are you taking the test

I don't believe the true scope of one's

intelligence can be measured with a

written test

not with these questions William is a

skeptic it's just a series of simple

empirical questions resulting in a score

an intelligence quotient quotient I like

that

I should like to know my quotient and I

would like to compare it to the portion

of others

Williams Court very poorly I have not

taken the test sure doctor george Oh

Henry would you like to have your

intelligence measured what for so that

you know a smart tour

before

it's part of a study you fill this out

and you get a score

I wouldn't put much stock in it Henry I

suspect those who do are already

somewhat intellectually challenged

all right can I do it while I'm at work

I won't see why not

for sure

you need three pints of water how do you

measure three pints using only a five

pint can and a two pint can

[Music]

what do I want three pints of water for

[Music]

so why did we stop here I want to take

you for lunch

hardly in the mood why is that

don't take kindly to people telling you

what to do

say nothing of ignoring my professional

assessment of a case

about that um

but no you have to let it go some good

food isn't a bad way to take your mind

off

I'm not letting it go

you have a choice no we have to get to

the bottom of this like we did in

Niagara

well

this isn't what I had in mind for first

Rendezvous I said all this time but uh

I suppose little too

good

let's find out what happened to John

Walsh

[Music]

Miss Drew

how are you feeling

this morning I put my shoes on the wrong

feet for a long time I couldn't figure

out what the matter was

shock can last for days

longer sometimes

John left the pup around midnight the

night before last do you have any idea

where he went he told me he was going to

meet his friend

David David simmington do you know where

we could find him

he's a recruit at Fort Gore so I doubt

you'd find admittance there

thank you for your time

there's something else

last night after or after we found John

I stopped in here to get my things

and David was in here with his fiance

you shattered crying into his plate I

also heard what happened

I suppose so

but then I heard him say what have I

done

what have I done

are you assertive

yes did you say anything else nothing

he was overcome

he didn't mention another word about it

what is his fiance's name

Ellen Kirby

do you know where we might find her

she lives over on Parliament street

thank you that's true

who exactly are you people

oh hello I am the coroner for the city

of Toronto Mr Buchanan and I were at

Fort York when John Walsh's body was

pulled from the water

oh dear I barely knew John

we were told you were a friend of the

deceased here is David's friend my

fiance

we heard David was upset in the pub last

night of course he was he just found out

John had died he was also overheard

saying what have I done

what had he done

it was personal

their friendship was complicated

is it true that David had met John the

night before last David had nothing to

do with John Walsh's death I didn't mean

to offend you I think it's best you both

leave

good luck to you

[Music]

she sure changed her tomb quite fast he

thinks you want to help

she may not even know the truth

just wish I had some more time with the

body

maybe we can find a way for you to take

a look

what did you have in mind

walking to that military base and try to

find the Doctor Who did the postmortem

right you you think they'll just let us

Waltz right up to him oh who's gonna

stop us the army okay

fortune favors the Bold in his heart

[Music]

and bold you are

[Music]

what exactly do you intend to do Follow

My Lead

special operative Buchanan at the

requests of Colonel Michaels only to see

some identification we know the way

recruits stand now I can't let the

kernels waiting for us

and what happens if he calls the colonel

I sure hope will be long gone by then

come on

all right

I'm sorry how did you get in here please

just a moment of your time I'm Violet

heart the corner for the Toronto morgue

we were first on the scene when John

Walsh's body was found we believe we

have some information that you might

find useful

and what may that be have you determined

a cause of death

I thought you were here to give me

information not seek it boy obviously

drown I disagree sir you are a mere City

corner you don't have half the

experience that I do my post-mortem is

conclusive hey don't touch that

belongings are being held for his

brother leave them be I apologize

did you consider the injuries on his

head and his hands the body was found

near a marina that had been in the water

for some time did you consider that it

may have knocked against rocks and boats

and all manner of things leading to

postmortem injuries

may I see the body certainly not

if as you suggest that the injuries were

made post-mortem bruises and the nature

of the wounds could help us come to a

conclusion

my personal conclusive

accidental drowning no I suggest the two

of you show yourselves though before I

call the guards

[Music]

I got a call from Colonel Michaels what

were you doing at the military base

tossing his name around

speaking with the doctor who performed

the postmortem was I talking to myself

when I told you stay away from this I

don't believe the doctor's conclusions

there were unique injuries on the head

and hands those would hardly be caused

by floating in the water

how do you know these injuries

contributed to the death we had a

witness that said he was uninjured

shortly before he died never mind that

it's done let the military do their job

consider that an order

I suppose that's the end of the road

we'll see about that I don't believe

I've had the pleasure Isaiah Buchanan

detective Murdock

why don't we speak in private

I'd like to hear more about this case

thank you

the Army is insisting that this is an

unfortunate accident

and you don't trust the military to

conduct their own proper investigation I

felt wounds on the back of his head and

saw defense wounds on his hands they

were anything but accidental

oh

any other leads his friend David

Simington yes the night after John's

death he was overheard saying what have

I done

we also find John's belongings at the

Army morgue he had a curious notebook

like a journal full of codes and strange

markings you saw this yourselves briefly

where is that now the doctor said his

brother's picking up his belongings

that's what we're off to now he works at

the hardware store on Duke Street Duke

Street

I could go

you've already met the inspectors ire

once

twice actually all the more reason

I was hoping he'd work in the store with

me but he insisted on the military

instead had you spoken with your brother

recently

oh

I mean a few days ago he was upset that

he'd been reprimanded

reprimanded for what

for an altercation with another Soldier

do you know who didn't say just that it

wasn't his fault and his commanding

officer had it out for him my brother

wasn't exactly a model Soldier

but I mean he didn't really respect

their rules or their chain of command

so why stay

well he was studying engineering I mean

that's the reason that he enlisted

to make his Mark as a military engineer

do you know what your brother was doing

on the night that he died

no

do you think that someone did something

to him

the military has stated that it was an

accidental drowning

it's nonsense he could swim from

Rochester and back

perhaps his journal could shed some

light on his final days and hours

how did you know about his journal oh it

was listed amongst his personal effects

I hope the same but good luck making any

sense of it what do you mean oh

take a look

see John like to make lists of well

everything things that he saw things

that he liked things he didn't like

he was always that way just particular

and obsessive

1153 he returned HD locked

1156 shaved lint from you everything's

either abbreviated or in code I couldn't

make any sense of it

may I borrow this

thank you

yes I was John Walsh's commanding

officer what about it I understand he

was recently reprimanded for an

altercation with a fellow recruit the

last and a long line of such incidents

the other recruits took issue with John

why was that

the young man had eccentricities

such as

on this last case he was smacked by a

fellow recruit for repeatedly locking a

door

someone was unlocking it

it was a compulsion I guess you'd say

it was not logical but such was John's

nature

I see

and this Behavior caused more than one

such incident oh yes it was not well

regarded by his fellow recruits

but if you're here because you think one

of them killed him I can disabuse you of

that notion

his eccentricities were disliked but

minor not a motive for murder

nevertheless I don't believe his death

to have been an accident detective the

coroner for the city of Toronto observed

injuries to his body

his brother stated that he was a very

strong swimmer something just doesn't

add up here

wouldn't you like to learn the truth

Colonel or are you protecting someone

yes

his family the young man committed

suicide suicide you told his brother

that his death was an accident a harsh

truth like that's best kept from the

family

it will not be on his military record

trust this concludes your interest in

the matter good day

how do you feel you did I have to say

doctor I tend to agree with the

detective I'm not entirely convinced of

the test merits well I suppose that's

why my colleague is looking for

participants your answers could help to

improve the questions well it seems to

me some of the questions have little to

do with intelligence at all for example

this one says which of these faces is

prettier what kind of a question is that

yeah that one was easy you just picked

the prettier one

well it's most certainly not a test of

knowledge or trivia but there must be

some method to Mr bernay's Madness are

you ready to hand them in

we're still listening attest to measure

one's intelligence sir care to try your

hand inspector we're looking for

volunteers

why would you want to measure your

intelligence signs what exactly be a

boost of confidence I think I did quite

well actually sir better than he would

what was that what uh Higgins thinks

he's done quite well

you two think you're clever don't you I

tell you what if you score higher than

me you can have the weekend off and if

you beat us you mean when when I beat

you you go back to work and you stop all

this fannying around

I'll have this back to you in the

morning doctor good luck inspector good

evening

the entire weekend off huh

doctor maybe I'll actually go over my

answers one more time

actually

I might make a couple of adjustments

myself

suicide

according to the colonel

but the injuries

perhaps the military doctor's assessment

that they were inflicted post-mortem is

correct well what about the blows whose

head

he could have jumped off a bridge

we don't know

we have found nothing that explicitly

discounts the possibility of suicide in

fact it would answer some of our

questions I don't believe you knowing we

talked to said anything about him wanted

to kill himself

apparently he'd been struggling in the

military perhaps the pressure was too

much

what about David simmington what did he

mean when he said what have I done

how does that fit with their suicide

Theory perhaps Mr simmington also

suspected suicide and felt that he in

some way contributed to John Walsh's

Melancholy or he's a killer and the

military's covering it up

[Music]

people's just up here

what was that

come over here

stop Toronto constabulary

he's been beaten deadly but he's still

alive someone called for an ambulance

sir sir are you all right

who did this to you

need to get him to a hospital

telephone for an ambulance it's true do

you know this man I do

that's David Simington

[Music]

I lost the attacker did you get a look

at him no he was too far ahead of me but

he was holding something

could have been a weapon we're just on

our way to speak with him this must have

something to do with the murder if that

was the case it's very unlikely Mr

Simington here is the killer much more

likely that he knows something

[Music]

ah Dr Ogden the very person my

intelligence test how did you fare piece

of cake

what were the circles it was B right

yeah I'm sure about that one myself

actually

but we mustn't take it too seriously

it's just a bit fun a bit of fun how do

you Tweedle then Tweedle don't do

afraid I haven't had time to review

their tests yet sure you had a glance

inspector I'll have all of your scores

back to you this afternoon

good day good day

last night a young recruit was attacked

and brutally beaten in the alley outside

the pub

he was a friend of John Walsh the other

recruit whose body was pulled from the

water

now I suspect these two events are

related

you've decided to stick your nose in

this too sir the military's account of

the events doesn't add up

so who is the love that was beaten up

David Simington

he was witnessed saying what have I done

after John Walsh's body was found I

suspect that possibly or he knows

something

someone tried to kill him to keep him

quiet

that would be my guess nevertheless

Murdoch

leave the case alone it's a military

Mata begging your pardon sir that the

military is not exempt from Justice one

young man is already dead another one

may soon be

I'm not going to wait to find out who's

next

hello

detective Murdoch of the Toronto

constabulary

I'm David's fiancee Alan Kirby

how is he

they say he'll likely live

has he said anything yet

he hasn't woken up

do you have any idea who could have done

this

maybe it's because you went to meet with

John that night John

Walsh

he met with John Walsh the night that he

died no they were meant to but

John never showed up

oh

I'm very sorry Miss Kirby

this is a private room

I don't want you bothering me and my

fiance well he's in this state

Miss Kirby Miss Hart is likely the

reason that Mr simmington is still alive

it was at her insistence that we

continued to pursue this case and very

likely the reason we came across Mr

simmington before he was beaten to death

oh

I'm sorry

military can't possibly call this an

accident

I should think not

but now

Mr Simington was to meet with John Walsh

the night that he died

what were those two meeting about

[Music]

repetitive rituals performed

compulsively I've read about this

disorder

apparently these rituals made him

unpopular with the fellow recruits that

I don't understand it we all have habits

and routines yes women but this is

different escrow started individuals who

used rituals to control their anxiety if

they don't follow these rituals they

feel they can't function in the world

he mentions d a number of times on the

day that he died

it was D David David

simpton simple enough

he was to meet with him that night Ellen

Kirby says that they never met

what is the rest of the entry about d

mean

are you n c o r

Ancor

hmm

it's not a cipher at least not one I can

crack

run Cor

perhaps then who is cor

could be a person someone he was running

from

Murdoch

yes sir

I see

all right I'll be right there

apparently the military has made an

arrest

in the assault on David simmington

good luck

[Music]

oh Murdoch I asked Colonel Michaels to

come in

have a seat

relieved this nasty business is over oh

have you made an arrest

Robert Walsh John Walsh's brother

and his motive

he blames simmington for his brother's

death

Witnesses said he threatened him last

night

tragedy upon tragedy

it's unfortunate but we cannot allow an

undisciplined Thug to debase the uniform

and destroy a promising military career

David Simington was assaulted with a

weapon have you recovered that

I found the wrench used in the assault

in Robert Walsh's store

I'd like to speak with him

understand that you were there in the

immediate aftermath of the altercation

inspector brackenry tells me you have no

clue what transpired and you were unable

to apprehend the attacker

I didn't quite put it that way

the assailant fled because we were busy

saving the boy's life I'm glad you did

sure you will do what's necessary to

find Justice no you won't we will

detective Murdock will take over from

here

beg your pardon

John Walsh was found on your grounds

David Simington may be a military

recruit but he was assaulted in my ward

that means this is our case Tom you will

transfer Robert Walsh to my cells and

provide me with any evidence that you

have against him we follow joral's

colonel now you follow ours

[Music]

Robert Walsh is now in our cells

this is the evidence in the case correct

but it looks to me like the colonel

might be right on this one

numerous Witnesses in the pub saw Welsh

threatened simmington just before the

attack

I take it this is the weapon

found at Walsh's hardware store traces

of blood that's what the attacker was

using last night that's what they say

I saw that man running off and I could

have sworn whatever he had in his hand

was longer than that

they're lying

how do you mean

I saw Simington right after the attack

happened he had at least three distinct

wounds to his skull it's possible there

was a fracture the injuries weren't

caused by something with a sharp edge

like that

would have been a blunt implement

so they are lying

they're using Robert Walsh's threat as a

scapegoat

someone is trying to cover up what

happened to John Walsh

colonel

seems likely if he's behind this

he won't be a colonel for much longer

[Music]

the colonel has provided us with

statements that place you at the pub the

night that Mr simmington was assaulted

EU were thrown out

he killed my brother are you certain of

that if he didn't then he knows

something about it

a spanner with blood on it was found in

your store I'm being set up the blood

was probably already there or they put

it on when they found it all I know is I

never hit anyone with anything

all right where did you go after the

altercation

I went down to the spot where Johnson

say goodbye

I'd had more than a few

did anyone see you

honestly

I wish I could help you Mr Walsh but

without an alibi you could be facing

charges

ciao

I beg your pardon oh

I was the only cursing I apologize

but what did you say

it's nothing it's Irish

[Music]

r-u-n-c-o-r there there's nothing run

core certainly doesn't sound Irish

oh wait there's a possibility that it is

Irish or at least in part

r-u-n room

which means a secret

Secret

Rune chorus secret about core

something he was going to tell David

could it be about the fiance

Ellen Kirby possibly

but I believe she's represented by the

letter e e for Ellen there's a number of

references to D and E

oh here's core a few days earlier

heed

the kind kindrath

Kindra of

it means affair

John Walsh knew something that led to

this tragedy

a secret

could you possibly know that that's a

wild assumption

I don't believe it to be an assumption

Mr Walsh kept detailed notes in his

journal

about what

the Irish word for

Fair

is Kai drove

talking about

you were having an affair

weren't you

[Music]

Mr Walsh learned of this affair

and that's why he wanted to meet with

his friend David

in order to tell him the truth

yes

it's true

David went to meet John

he was hurt angry

he fought and

why would they fight

why would David be upset that his friend

John wanted to tell him the truth

because the affair was with John

I don't believe that to be true Miss

Kirby

now what do you mean

run core

run or in this case roon means secret

and core I believe is the abbreviation

of corneal

kernel

Colonel Michaels killed John to prevent

him from telling anyone of the affair

that he was having

with you

yes

yes it's true it's all true

my only question is

how did the colonel know where John

would be that night

it was me

[Music]

went about what John wanted to tell him

I knew of course I told the colonel

colonel Michaels demanded David tell him

where he was meeting John and ordered

him to stay away

and when David learned what had happened

he blamed himself

for sending John to his death

you had meant it what he'd done but

[Music]

nothing

it was all my fault

Colonel Michaels

you again haven't we had this

conversation already you're under arrest

for the murder of John Walsh what I'll

walk rounds Miss Kirby has confessed to

your Affair and to the events leading up

to the murder

what did she say

your lawyer can request a copy of her

statement

I admit enough

you do have the right to silence

but I will be taking this

into evidence thank you constables

[Music]

he's only yours thank you I'll need to

take some photographs

[Music]

the handle is a perfect match for David

simmington's wounds yes he woken up no

but they believe he will soon even

without his account we can light charges

against Colonel Michaels and what if

John Walsh I believe he was struck with

the shaft not the handle meaning we

can't prove it no in fact I'm skeptical

this is the weapon that was used

take a look at his hands

messy

several unique wounds on the back of his

hands and wooden splinters in his palms

small and circular strange so he was hit

with something but not this stick that

would seem to be the case and with what

might be this

found it near the place we found the

body

oh let's have a look so you decided to

just continue investigating

I asked him to inspector oh you're doing

our job for us now are you miss her

simply assisting sir

well

good work

thank you sir

what do you think made up also judging

by this

I believe Mr Buchanan may have found

what we've been looking for

anything else

there are finger marks

[Music]

but I don't believe them to be a match

for the colonels

Lydia so he didn't do it

there's only one other person who could

have done this

[Music]

foreign

Kirby killed John Walsh herself

[Music]

that was quite a performance you put on

Miss Kirby

we almost believed your story

but your finger marks were found on the

murder weapon

John Walsh was a decent young man

he didn't deserve what you did to him

neither did your fiancee

how could you let that happen to him I'm

not saying anything without my lawyer

you do realize my father is Jed Kirby

his name means something in this town

and now miss Kirby so it is yours

beat a young recruit nearly to death

or a disgrace to your uniform

I had to protect her

it was for love I know what it looks

like but it's true

we loved one another

Mr simmington has just regained

consciousness

lucky for you assault and battery

carries with it a much lesser sentence

lucky

I'll be discharged

and Helen

she'll likely be hanged

[Music]

oh it is for what

John Walsh was a nobody he never was

going to make it in the military

not under your command

thank you for this Mr Walsh

without it your brother's Legacy would

have been very different and without you

detective oh you can give all of your

thanks to miss Hart here her

determination is the only reason any of

this was uncovered well thank you Miss

heart

you two have met

I'm accompanying him to his brother's

ceremony John's being honored with a

full military funeral

they say that grief divided is made

lighter

well done

so I have everyone's results right so

here we all are how did we do

well in fact inspect you just managed to

Edge out George oh you're all right

wisdom comes with experience as they say

no surprise there sir well done and what

about this one did he get any answers

right yes in fact Henry scored the best

of everyone what him really are you sure

about that quite

foreign

I guess I'll be taking the weekend

officer deals a deal fine Crabtree rip

up this week's schedule Higgins will be

mucking up the stables for the rest of

the month sir and next month

oh I'm so sorry Henry I didn't realize

this silly test caused such

consternation it's all right I still get

to make fun of George for being deaf

except I'm not the one on stable Duty

you got the answers wrong on purpose

didn't you

Higgins I don't know how smart I am but

only nitwit would beat his boss on an

intelligence test

[Music]

I thought you intended to make yourself

scared

place is hard to stay away from

the music

drinks

my captivating company

all of those things Mrs Brighton

bright

you're a terrible liar Miss heart

at least on this matter

do you have fun

[Music]

glad you stuck with it

I'm glad you challenged me to do so

I must say it's uh maybe you want to get

back into private investigation

nothing quite like the feeling of

cracking the case

you have more important things to tend

to

that I do

is that too forward giving me I'm not

sure

try it again

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

oh so you decided to take the

intelligence test after all wow

I thought you declared it ineffective hi

it's just a bit of fun why not

uh

you just want to know that you're

smarter than everyone else don't you

no although that part should be

self-evident

I've never known you should be So Vain

I just wanted to know how my results

compared

to yours oh did you now well let's have

a look shall we

number two oh that's wrong to look what

a mini wrong oh there's another wrong

one

you are lying to me they're all right

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]
