(mysterious music)

(george): Are you sure
it's not too big?

(effie): I like big.

- Mine is small.
- I know, george.

- So, you're not satisfied?

- No, george,
I just want bigger.

- All right.

So, should we go take
another look at it?

- We don't need to.

It has everything we could want.

- Well, it's all the way over
in the annex.

I mean, it's not exactly
the centre of town.

- Exactly, george.

It's a quiet home for a family

That we can call our own.

It's perfect.

(sighs)

- Thank you, stevens.

Ah, murdoch, there you are.

Just give me a minute.
(indistinct chatter)

Lads, can I have
your attention, please?

I have an announcement
that affects you all.

I've recently received word
that my aunt

Is on her last legs
back in yorkshire.

As such, the missus and I
have arranged passage

Back to England.

Therefore, a new inspector

Will be appointed in my absence.

Murdoch, my office.

(indistinct murmuring)

- This won't be good.

- Well, the inspector's hardly
a soft touch, henry.

How much worse could it be?
- Ah...

- Shut the door.

Have a seat, murdoch.

I've had a word with
the chief constable.

It's the board's decision,
but I've recommended you.

(scoffs)

- Recommendations have hardly
made a difference in the past.

- He thinks it could be
different this time.

Because it's only
an interim position,

He feels they may not
pay attention.

- I see.

I would be honoured
to fill the position

Of inspector until your return.

- Well, here's the thing,
murdoch.

I'm not quite ready
to tell my boys yet,

But margaret and I have
been talking for some time

About retiring to yorkshire.

- Retiring?

- The truth is,

It's more likely than not
that when I get on that boat,

I won't be coming back.

- Oh. I-I don't know
what to say, sir. I...

- Goodbye will do just fine.

Ey'll
let you be inspector this time?

- Well, it seems that
my appointment in the interim

Is all but assured.

- All but?

- Yes, well, I realize
we've been down

This road before.

But I can't simply stay
in the same position

The rest of my life.

It's time for
the next challenge.

And at the moment it seems
that challenge has arrived.

- Well, I hope it has.

I'm afraid my next challenge
has fallen away.

- Oh?

- The funding for the women's
hospital has been denied.

- There's always private money.

- I think we've raised
all we can.

We needed the government
to at least match

Some of the funding,
but they've refused.

- Governmental budgets
are annual.

There's always next year.

- Perhaps.
But they've made it clear.

Our endeavour is not of value
in their eyes.

It's time to give up the dream.

(baby babbling softly)

(indistinct chatter)

- Detective! There you are.

- Mr. Banks.

I take it you're here
about the inspector position.

- Indeed. I believe you know
my son-in-law,

The crown attorney?
- Yes, of course.

Nice to see you again,
mr. Templeton.

- You, as well.
- Now, I know allen

Once fought to have
you appointed inspector

And I never stood in the way.
I want you to know that.

So far as I'm concerned,
catholic or protestant,

It's best man for the job.

- Thank you, sir.

- Yes, well...

The board of control has
spoken with the chief constable,

And we have come
to a decision.

Constables, gather round,
will you?

It's time to introduce you
to your new inspector.

I'll make this brief
so you can all get back to work.

Your new inspector
is a detective

I believe you all know
and have worked with.

His reputation precedes him,
thanks to his fine work

These past years.

So would you please welcome
your new inspector,

Detective edwards
from station house one.

Congratulations, inspector.

- It's my honour.
Thank you, mr. Banks.

I very much look forward
to working with all of you.

- Sir, I'm so sorry.

- No need to be sorry, george.

These things happen.

- Well, you had to expect
the promotion, sir.

It's more than deserved.
Overdue, I would say.

(sighs)
- well, perhaps some things

Are just out
of our control, george.

- Perhaps some of us
are never meant to move up

In the world, sir.
Just stay where we are

Until we retire. Or die.

- Thank you, george.

- Detective murdoch?

Why don't we sit down
in my office? Five minutes.

Let us clear the air,
detective.

I know you wanted this job.

Perhaps you deserved it.

But you didn't get it.

If you have any grievance
regarding this matter,

I hope you understand when I say
I don't want to hear it.

I want only to get to work.

- I have no grievance.

- Good.

It's not lost on me that
I'm a younger man than yourself

With less experience.
Is this going to pose a problem

For you, given my new position?

- I don't see how it's relevant.

So long as we both do our jobs.

- Your former inspector
had a reputation

For involving himself in cases

When the situation
called for it.

I operate no differently.

Your cases will be your own,

But we will work together.
Understood?

- Understood.
- Sir?

We have a call from
a flophouse on river street.

- Hm. Let us go to river street,
detective.

Between the two of us,
we'll make short work of this.

Huh. Right.

It appears he was strangled
with a lamp cord.

Was this his room?

- Apparently, it was
rented by a woman.

- I see. Well, you know
what that means.

- No money in his pockets.

- A robbery then.

He pays the lady for her time,

She decides she wants more.

- Or he refused to pay?

- Entirely possible. Either way,

She maneuvers him into
a vulnerable position,

Ends his short life
and takes whatever she pleases.

The price you pay
for such a life.

Identification?

- None.

- Huh.
- Sirs,

This chap has some information.

- Oh, enlighten us.

- I know exactly when
the murder happened.

Uh, 2:55 am.

- How can you be so precise?

- Another guest complained
about the noises

Coming from the room.
I came upstairs to check.

- And he was dead
when you arrived?

- No. When I was on the stairs,
I heard a fracas.

A window broke
and then she fled.

- Oh, you saw her?

- No, but I heard her running
out the back door.

- And this was 2:55 am?

- To the minute.

- So you saw this man
and his companion

When they arrived here
approximately one hour earlier?

- That's right.

- And what did she look like?
- Plain.

- Did you get her name?

- He called her francesca.

- Our killer has a name.

- Sirs,

I think I know this man.

- Not associating with his ilk,
I hope, crabtree.

- No, sir. Or, yes, actually.

I believe his name is langley.

Constable langley,
station house three.

- We believe her name
is francesca

And she may be responsible
for the murder

Of constable archibald langley.

We need to find her.
Ask every man, woman and child

To look at this picture.

Any information
will be very useful.

- We know two things:

She is a killer,

And she is a lady
of the evening.

Brothels, bordellos,
houses of ill repute,

I want every one in the city
turned upside down.

And bring them all in.

And while you're at it,

Arrest the men visiting them.

It takes two to commit
a carnal sin

And we at the constabulary
do not discriminate.

Our killer is likely hiding
in one of these dens of iniquity

And the more pressure we put
on these heathens,

The more likely
one of her ilk will crack

And tell us where she is.

Now, I'm prepared to reward you
for your efforts.

You'll receive a bonus
of 50 cents for every arrest.

Now, get to it.

(indistinct chatter)

- Sir, are you sure
that's necessary?

- Well, you want to find her,
don't you?

- Well, yes, of course,
but I don't--

- Perhaps so many lads
on the one case

Is not the best use
of resources.

I mean, give us 24 hours
to find this francesca

A-and maybe all this
won't be necessary.

- It may not be necessary
for finding our killer,

But it is necessary,
nonetheless.

Look at this.

Toronto is rotten to the core.

It's time to clean it up.

- Mr. Langley's cause of death
is asphyxiation,

But he also has a significant
wound on the back of his head.

- Recent?
- Very.

From the severity I would guess
he was dazed

Or unconscious
when he was strangled.

- What could have caused that?

- It's impossible to say.

Something blunt.
Uh, perhaps the floor,

Or a wall.
- Hm.

- Anything.

- Not inconsistent
with our findings.

- But this may be:

He was not killed with the cord
that was around his neck.

- You said asphyxiation.

- Indeed, but with
something thicker.

Whatever killed him
was most likely leather,

One inch wide.

- A belt or a strap?

- I'll leave that to you.

(indistinct chatter)

- Higgins! Who are those lads?

- Men edwards brought over
from station house one.

- I don't like this one bit.

(sighs)
- well, what's the big deal?

We're just doing our jobs.

- Well, it seems like
a fool's errand, henry.

There's a reason it's
the world's oldest profession.

What can we possibly accomplish
besides make life more difficult

For people less
fortunate than us?

- Least we'll make
some extra money.

- Well, I'll catch up with you.

I've got some information
for the detective.

(sighs)

Sir?

I spoke to a witness who saw
a woman fleeing the scene,

But the timing
doesn't seem to match up.

- Oh?

- Yes. Well, she swears she saw

This francesca at 2:45 am.

- Ten minutes before the clerk

Said he heard her running
out the back door.

- Right, but the witness
works at a bakery

Where she arrived on time
at three am.

It's a 15-minute walk.

She swears she didn't leave
a minute after 2:45.

- So, either she or the clerk
is mistaken.

Or we're missing something.

Let's have a look.

Right. So, she came out
this door

And this direction
is a dead end,

So she had to have
come this way.

- Sir, look at this.

- Yes. That's the broken glass
from the window above.

- No, underneath it here.

- Oh.

The glass was very
much on top of this.

- So, if this was francesca's...

- Then she came through here
before the window broke.

- The baker saw her at 2:45.

- And the clerk heard a...

(both): Fracas.

- ...At 2:55.

- Someone else was in
the room with langley.

- Likely the killer.

Very good, george.

- You're telling me
she's innocent?

- Yes. The crime scene
was staged.

The killer, likely a man,

Placed the cord around
the victim's neck.

- Could you finish
that later, please?

To what end?

- To make it appear as though
the woman killed langley

And used something
that was found in the room

When, in reality,
the killer likely brought

The implement himself.

- Wh-what was
the killer's motive?

- I have no idea, sir.

Perhaps the killer saw
the two of them

Go into the hotel
and saw it as an opportunity

To rob the man

While he was in
a vulnerable state.

- And this francesca?

- She likely fled the scene
the moment the intruder appeared

And, based on what she saw,
isn't inclined to come forward.

- All right.

Fine work.

But it hardly
changes our intentions.

Francesca saw the killer,
ergo we must find her

As quickly as possible.

We'll keep the constables
working on the bordellos.

- Yes. On that matter,

I assume it would be all right
if I took one of them with me

To assist me
in my investigation?

- 'course. Take your pick.

- Mrs. Langley,

Your husband was found
at the river street hotel.

We believe he had been
in the company of a woman.

- He was a god-fearing man,
archie.

He never would have
been with a harlot.

- Did he happen to say
where he had been going

All of these evenings?

- No. Last week he had a message
by courier, though.

He's never had one of those.

- What was the message?

- I never saw it
and he took it with him.

But I kept the envelope.

(gasps)
I was saving that!

- What? The envelope?

- Yes!

- To use over again you mean?

- Of course.

- There you are.
- Thank you.

- It looks like "office."

- Sir, what's this?

R-t-h-o-u-s-e.

Rthouse? Rthoos?

- Courthouse.

- Possibly.

- "templet."

I believe I know who wrote
this note. George.

- Constable langley is dead?
Dear god.

- Found strangled to death
in a seedy hotel

On river street.

- Terrible thing.

Young man had a family, too,
as I recall.

- It-it's my understanding
that he met with you last week.

- That's right.

He was working on a case
that his superiors

Had already closed.

He suspected someone
was trying to cover it up.

- Who?

- He wasn't sure.

He said he was close
to finding out

But felt that taking it
to his inspector

Was not an option.

He asked if he could bring
his findings directly to me.

I said, yes, of course.

Thank you.

- Uh, what case?

- He didn't tell me.

He said he wanted to wait
until the evidence was in place.

I wish I could be
of more help, gentlemen.

- Thank you.

He had been gathering evidence,

So perhaps he had a file,
or-or notes of some sort.

- Nothing was found
at his house,

Nor in his desk
at station house three.

- He was hiding
his investigation

From his superiors.

George, perhaps you should go
to station house number three

And look in his desk yourself.

- Sir, I will do.

I was hoping to take a moment
to meet with effie, though.

- Why, yes. Of course.
Having lunch?

- We actually have a meeting
at the bank.

We're thinking about buying
a house in the annex.

- Oh, george! Congratulations!
That's terrific!

Although are you sure you want
to live that far from the city?

(sighs)

- Hm.

Well, now we just have
to see if we're approved.

- It's an awfully big mortgage,
effie.

Are you sure we're doing
the right thing?

- George, we both have good
jobs and savings.

- Maybe I'll start
rounding up vagrants

To make some extra dollars.

- Vagrants?
- Vagrants, gamblers, drunkards,

Women of the night.

It's this new inspector.

He has an eye
to clean up toronto.

- And his solution is to arrest
half the population?

- It seems so.

- Well, that won't last long.

What's the crown going to do

With hundreds of petty cases
to try?

They can't keep up.

- The cells are already full.

- I'll make some calls.

Perhaps I can act as surety
to get some of them released.

- Mm.
- It's completely ridiculous.

Are you having to participate
in all this?

- Well, thus far I've been
too busy helping the detective.

Speaking of which.

(ominous music)

(overlapping shouting)

- I want to thank you all

For your excellent work
thus far.

Some of you will receive
a pretty penny,

Thanks to my little incentive.

The time has come
to expand our purview.

Speakeasies, clubs, burlesques,
gambling dens,

Deviancy in all its forms

Will find no safe harbour
under our watch.

- Sir, aren't nightclubs
and burlesque perfectly legal?

- They may have their permits,
but that doesn't mean

The goings-on in these
institutions

Aren't in contravention
of the law.

Any institution built on sin
is morally unacceptable.

The laws reflect
the morals of the people

And it is time
to start enforcing them.

Constable,

Where have you been?

- At station house three
at the request of the detective.

- Is that so?

Because constable tucker here

Says he saw you
socializing with a woman.

- That was my wife.

We had an appointment
at the bank.

- Is that something you normally
do while at work?

- No, sir. It was important.

We're trying
to purchase a house.

- Congratulations.

Listen, crabtree,

I'm a generous man by nature

But I won't be
taken advantage of.

You can make up the time
at the end of your shift.

Come on, lads.
Got a job to do.

You too, higgins.

(sighs)

(lively chatter)

(jazz music playing)

- Good crowd tonight.

- Word is spreading.

Jazz might just be
the next big thing.

- Look who's here!
(laughing)

- I don't think I've ever
seen this side of you.

- What side?
- I don't know what to call it.

Happiness.

(laughing)

- Surely mr. Buchanan has
something to do with this.

- Hi.
- Hello, sir.

- Hey. Would you care to dance?

- I usually don't consort
with the customers.

- Oh, ho. I see!

- I'll make an exception
this time.

- Okay.
(laughing)

(horse whinnying)

(indistinct chatter)

- There's no need to be soft
with this lot, lads.

- But it's just a nightclub.

Can't we just bust it up
and send them home?

- Take it up with the inspector.

(sighs)

(jazz music playing)

That's it! Shut it down!

(constable 1): All right,
nobody move!

- Come on.
(constable 1): Nobody can leave!

- Excuse me! What are you doing?

Sir, you will see that we have
all of our paperwo--

- You're coming with us.
- Let me go of me!

What are you doing?
I did nothing wrong!

- Tucker! Take your
hand off of her.

- I will not!

- I'm still the ranking
officer here. Now!

(constable 2): Let's go, lads!

- Miss bright, I am terribly
sorry for this,

But I have to escort you down
to the station house.

(constable 3): Out! Come on!
- Please.

- Violet, let's go.

Ad woman langley
was investigating

Was strangled with
a length of something,

Likely leather, one inch wide.

- Identical to langley, then.

- Perhaps she got herself
mixed up with a powerful man

And threatened to expose him.

- Murder to avoid scandal?

It wouldn't be the first time.

- These notes contain
several abbreviations

That make it very difficult
to understand.

- "m.B."

"o.W."

Sir, I haven't the faintest.

- There's also something
here about francesca.

- The woman we're looking for.

- He was meeting with her.

Perhaps to discuss this case?

- Well, perhaps she was
a witness

Or a friend of the victim's.

Sir, look at this:
Talman's photograph studio,

With an address.

- This appears to have been
torn out of a diary.

George, look at the date.

- The same day langley
was killed.

- Perhaps we should pay
mr. Talman a visit.

- Cassie?

Cassie?
- Violet?

There you are.

- I don't understand.
We have our permits.

- Apparently the new inspector
is cracking down

On undesirable establishments
in town.

- You ran.

- I had no choice.

- You could have tried
to stand up to them.

You're a powerful person,
violet.

- It wouldn't have done
any good.

- That may be so.

You could have stood
with the salon.

With me.

- And got arrested?

To prove some kind of point?

- Yes!

To take a stand,
sacrifice yourself

To make an example!

That is how change is made!

- That is not how
the world works.

At least this way
I'm on the outside

And I could help you
get out of here.

- Sorry to bother you.
We have a few questions.

- What's this about?

- Did a constable archibald
langley come visit you recently?

- Langley? Why, yes.
He came in with a woman.

- Oh!

Uh, who was this woman?

- I didn't get her name.
(door closes)

- Is this the woman
you're talking about?

- That's her.

The two of them
came asking after another woman

Named olivia wright.

- Who is olivia wright?

- A customer of mine.

She developed photos
a few weeks ago.

But constable langley told me
that she was dead.

What a shame.

- Oh. Did you know her well?

- Only as a customer.

Wait, you can't think
I had anything to do with it.

I-I-I would never, ever--

- No, mr. Talman, you are not
under suspicion at this time.

- Sir, do you think
olivia wright

Could be our unidentified woman?

- Well, george,
her initials do correlate

To the abbreviations found
in mr. Langley's files.

Mr. Talman, do you recall
what miss wright

Came into your store for?

- Constable langley asked me
the same thing.

She had photos developed

And she came back here
to pick them up

And, apparently, she was
murdered that very day.

- What were the photos of?

- Just pictures of a man
in bed, sleeping.

- Who was the man?
- I didn't recognize him.

- Do you think you could
recognize him

Out of a sequential
line up of men?

- I doubt it.

I didn't think
it was very important.

- Thank you, mr. Talman.

Langley's file made note
that there were ashes

Found in a wastepaper basket
at the scene of the murder.

- The photos she picked up?

- Perhaps. Perhaps the killer
burned them

To get rid of them
because he was the man

In the photographs.
- They were having a liaison.

- Mm. And they were her proof.

- But she was killed
before she could tell anybody.

- We need to find out all we can
about this olivia wright.

And, while we're at it,
we need to find francesca.

- I know that name.

Olivia was an old friend
of archibald's.

- How did they know each other?

- He used to work with her
before he became a constable.

They were both servants
for a wealthy man.

- Who?
- I don't know.

- Do you know anyone
who might know?

- That was all before
archie and I met.

I'm sorry, detective.

- Mighty fine job
you've done, edwards.

- Thank you, sir.
- Toronto already feels

Far safer than it did before.

- Good day, constable crabtree.

- Inspector.

- I'm so glad that...
- Sir.

I've been asking around
about olivia wright.

I can't find any record
of her anywhere.

- No matter. I've just found
something very interesting

In constable langley's notes.

George, we now know that o.W.
Stands for olivia wright

And that makes some of these
other entries far more clear.

For example,

I believe francesca
also worked as a servant

In the same household
as olivia wright.

- So, they did know each other.

- Which would explain
why francesca was valuable

To constable langley's
investigation.

- She would have had information
about anything happening

To miss wright
in that household.

- Exactly.

Now there's just this other one

That he keeps referring to,
b.O.C.

- More initials?

- B.O.C. Possibly. A person.

- Place?

- Board of control.

- Sir, brilliant.

And next to b.O.C. Is m.B.

Somebody with the initials m.B.
At the board of control.

- George.

Melvin banks is on
the board of control.

(indistinct chatter)

Constable langley once asked you
to bypass his superiors.

I have you here to ask
for the same thing,

For the same reasons

And I hope your promise
to help still stands.

- Of course.

What have you found out?

- I believe the killer
to be melvin banks.

- My father-in-law?

- I-I understand
this must be very upsetting

Given that he's family.

(sighs)

- Family in a sense of the word,

But there is no love lost
between us.

I have always disagreed
with his methods.

If he really is a killer,
then justice comes first.

Are you sure he's guilty?

- The case is lacking
in physical evidence, but yes.

- What do you need from me?

- I intend to interview banks
and ask him if he has an alibi

For the night in question.

And if he doesn't,
I'll arrest him.

Obviously, I'll need
to go over edwards' head.

- We've had our differences
in the past,

But you're a good detective.

If you say the case is strong,

I'll back you up.

- Crabtree! Job for you.

We've just received
an anonymous tip.

There's to be an illegal
gathering at a home in rosedale.

- What kind of gathering?

- You'll see.

Find higgins and a few others.

- Sir--
- arrest all in attendance.

- Yes, I asked the inspector
at station house three

To shut down that investigation.

- Because you were the one
who murdered olivia wright

To cover up the liaison
you were having with her.

- Oh, of course not.

I had no affair with her
and I certainly didn't kill her.

- Then why order
the case closed?

- Because I didn't want any
of this nasty business

Associated with my good name.

Can you imagine what
the press would have said?

One of my servants engaging
in sex for money on her day off?

(scoffs)

- Did you not think
the young woman

Deserved justice?

- I assumed it was
some seedy criminal

Who had long absconded.

Exposing the details would have
only put the poor girl's family

Through more pain.

- So, you told them what?
She left town?

- It was kinder than
telling them the truth.

I gave them money.
It was better for everyone.

- And francesca?

- My maid? What about her?

- She had been working
with constable langley

To find out what happened
to olivia wright.

- Oh, I don't know
anything about that.

She hasn't been at work
the past few days,

But I've no idea
where she's disappeared to.

And I hadn't even heard
of archibald langley

Until he turned up dead.

I swear.

- Where were you
Tuesday at three am?

- At home in bed.
- With?

- No one. My wife's
in montreal for the month.

- And November 21st?

- I haven't any idea.
What's November 21st?

- The night that
olivia wright was murdered.

- If you're going
to arrest me, detective...

Go ahead.

- As you wish.

(sighs)

(jazz music playing)

(indistinct chatter)

- I can't believe you left
new york for toronto the good.

- It wasn't entirely
my decision.

- Surely you miss it.
Don't you want to go back?

- I'm at home here.
I've been to many places

And lived many lives,
but when we're searching within,

It's rare the answer
lies without.

- Police!

Gentlemen,

We have orders to take you
down to the station house.

It will go easier if you
comply in an orderly fashion.

Sir!

(grunts)

Hey, stop, lads!

Watts?
- Look who we have here.

(man): Who are you?
Don't touch me.

- Take him in.

(indistinct chatter)

- Run.
- What?

- Just make a run for it.

- No, I won't run from this.

My friends are getting arrested,

So am I.

(overlapping complaints)

- Detective murdoch,
can you tell me

Why I have a member
of the board of control

In my cells?

- I've arrested him
for the murders

Of olivia wright
and archibald langley.

- And why didn't I know
anything about this?

- You seemed more preoccupied
with your raids.

Besides, the crown attorney

Has already agreed
to take the case.

- You went over my head.

- I felt it was necessary.

- Do you respect me,
detective murdoch?

- I don't see how that's at all
relevant to the matter at hand.

- Do you trust my judgment?

Did you think that if you came
to me about this,

I would have shut the case down?

- That's precisely
what I thought.

You've proven
time and again

That your priorities are askew.

You are more interested
in arresting the destitute

Than you are murderers.
- Now, you wait just a second--

(knocking)
- sir,

There's news from the morgue.

- We'll continue
this later, detective.

- Appears to be her.

- The killer got to her first.

- She's been dead 24 hours.

Killed by stabbing,
not strangulation

Like olivia wright
and constable langley.

- Men say she was found
in an alley

Behind a social club
for servants.

- She must have been
hiding from the police.

- So, it's your contention
that banks found her

And killed her
to keep her quiet?

- I'm not so sure.

If miss hart's timeline
is correct

And francesca died 24 hours ago,

Then mr. Banks had an alibi
for the time of the murder.

- Oh, he still could have done
the other two, I suppose.

Her murder could be unrelated.

But why would someone else
want to kill francesca?

- Perhaps banks sent
someone else to kill her.

- In which case,
someone knows the truth.

(door opens)

Not a good way
to tie up loose ends.

- No.
- Sir.

Ah, sirs.

Uh, we found the room
at the social club

Where francesca was hiding.

There was a note.

I thought you might want
to take a look at it.

- "langley, meet me
at river street hotel.

Info about olivia. Rent room 13.

2:30 am. Come alone."

Perhaps francesca
wrote this herself?

- We found some other
examples of her handwriting.

It's not a match.
- Someone else, then.

Presumably, langley
knew who it was from.

- And that person turned out
to be the actual killer,

Luring langley to his death.

- Francesca arrives
moments later,

But the killer
was not expecting her.

She manages to flee.

- So, the question is clear.

Was it banks?

- Inspector edwards,
may I have a word?

- What is it?

- I think we should let
detective watts go.

He's done nothing wrong
and he's a friend

To this station house.

- Watts has been arrested?
What for?

- He was found attending
an illegal gathering

That was in clear contravention
of the law.

- Oh, there must be
some mistake.

What evidence do you have
that the gathering was illegal?

- I know llewellyn watts.

We have a history.

His very presence there
confirms precisely

What we suspected
regarding the gathering.

- Now, watts is a good man.

- He is a sodomite

Who deserves to be jailed.

Just like mr. Banks,
mr. Watts cannot escape

Punishment just because
he has friends in high places.

- Sir, there must be
something we can--

- Henry...

Apparently, the inspector
thinks he knows best.

(sighs)

- See? That note does not match
my handwriting at all.

I'm telling you, I'm innocent.

- Then tell me this:

How is it that you knew
that the unidentified woman

Referred to
in constable langley's case file

Was olivia wright?

- And how did you know
station house three

Had the case in the first place?

- The case came across
my son-in-law's desk.

He told me.

- Allen templeton?
- Yes.

(suspenseful music)

- The handwriting
on the envelope

Matches the handwriting
on the note.

Allen templeton is our killer.

Mr. Templeton,

You wear leather suspenders,
don't you?

Uh, no need to answer that.

We've already confirmed
that you do

And that they are precisely
one inch in width.

They are a perfect match
for the wounds

That were found
on constable langley's neck,

As well as olivia wright's.

- What would compel
you to do this?

- I'll await my lawyer.

- If you like. But the evidence
we have against you

Is more than enough.

Your colleagues at the crown
are not exactly shy

About taking the case
against you.

- Your cooperation could
spare your life,

As you well know.

- I met olivia through
my father-in-law.

I was a frequent visitor
in his home.

- Miss wright caught
your eye, didn't she?

- It was a bit of fun.

But then she wanted more of me.

- She threatened to expose you,

Ruin your marriage,
your career,

So you had to kill her.

- I would have lost everything!

I had to make sure
that she would never tell.

Then I convinced melvin
to use his influence

To stop any investigation.

Told him that his good name
would suffer

Because she was his servant.

He had no idea what I had done.

- But constable langley wouldn't
stop the search, would he?

You had to kill him, as well.

- I had to stop him.

- And we had to stop you.

- Mr. Templeton...

- You are under arrest.

- Come on, clear out!
The lot of you!

- Take this as a warning.

If you've received no charge,
consider it a mercy.

I don't want to see
hide nor hair

Of any of you
in this city ever again.

Because the next time,
I won't be so forgiving.

- This is our home.

Where are we supposed to go?

- Quite frankly, I don't care.

As long as it's not in toronto.

(angry murmuring)

(constable): Come on, let's go.

- Inspector edwards,

All this began with
the langley case.

Now we know his killer
was not a prostitute,

But, rather,
one of the city's elite.

All this?

The sweeps have to stop.
- Certainly not.

I have a vision
of a clean toronto

And I will shake every shadow

Until all of the deviants
in this city are gone.

- But, sir--
- stop whining and do your job.

- It's over watts.
You're free to go.

- No, this is far from over.

- Well, at least you
won't be in jail.

- I'm not leaving
toronto, george.

- Watts, it's just for...

This is all going
to blow over eventually.

- I'm not going anywhere.

They can charge me if they want.

- Watts!

- I want my day in court.

I want a jury to decide

To tell me once and for all
if who I am makes me a criminal.

- Well, took some doing,

But the loan is approved.

The house is ours.

- As long as we keep our jobs.

- Is everything all right?

- Yes. No, uh,
that's wonderful news, effie.

- Well, I heard edwards
released the detainees.

Hopefully the sweeps
will be over soon

And things can go back
to normal.

- I'm sure they will.

- Higgins, you keep
your nose clean.

- You too, sir.

- Well, you almost missed us.
We're about to board.

- Sir, are you sure about this?

- You take care
of this young lady, bugalugs.

You found a good one there.
- Indeed, I will, sir.

- And good luck
with the new inspector.

I'm sure you'll be all right.

- I'm not so sure about that,
but thank you.

- Maybe we'll come
and visit you.

We've been talking about
doing some travelling.

- That would be lovely.

- I can hardly imagine
a toronto without you, sir.

- I'm not your boss anymore,
murdoch. Call me tom.

- We'll miss you, tom.

- As we you, william.

(laughing)
doesn't sound right, does it?

- Absolutely not.
Safe travels, sir.

- Thank you, me ol' mucker.
We'll send a postcard.

Well, no use standing
on ceremony.

'til the next time.

- Indeed.
- Margaret.

- Hm.

(soft music)

- Well, we're entering
a new world, william.

- Hm. And I'm not sure
I think much of it.

- I have to tell you, detective,

Regardless of your success
in this case,

I'm still not happy
that you went over my head.

This is my station house.

I'm your boss and, as such,
I demand your respect.

- Respect is earned,
not demanded.

- I need you to fall in line
like the rest of the men.

In fact, why don't you start
with that speakeasy

Down by the docks, hm?

Take a few constables
and shut the place down.

- I will not.

- Pardon me?

- This is as good a time as any,
I suppose.

Though I have been
preoccupied with my case,

It hasn't stopped me
from noticing

The disgraceful way

That you have been
running things here.

- Are you telling me
how to do my job?

- Oh, I doubt that that
would do much good.

- Get out of my office!

- I intend to.

- What do you mean?

- Consider this my resignation.

I'm no longer detective murdoch
of station house number four.
