All language subtitles for Frankie Drake Mysteries S02E01 1080p BluRay x264-BEDLAM (1)

The board of the Royal Ontario Museum?

What, you got a problem with that?

That is really something.

Well, what's wrong with being civic-minded?

It's hardly your strong suit.

Well, if you must know

I've decided it's high time I went legit.

Hm? Well, God knows this place
could use some livening up.

I mean, look at them. Deadly dull!

Yet well-heeled and ripe for the picking.

Why must you always think
so poorly of your mother?

Who, by the way, didn't ask you here

to get a lecture.
- So, why am I here?

I didn't set out to find treasures

of lost civilizations.

That happened quite by chance.

On an overnight train to Marseilles

I met the renowned archaeologist
Howard Carter.

What a charmer.

He persuaded me to go with him

to the Valley of the Kings

where he was looking for the lost tombs

of the pharaohs.

Digging in the sand has been my passion

ever since...
- I thought you two should meet.

You know, the whole Egypt thing and all.

Marian and I have crossed paths before.

You don't say. Where?

Here and there.
- Care to elaborate?

No.
- Mono, what's the big secret?

Shhh.

MARIAN:
Working with Hiram Bingham Ill

in the lost city of Machu Picchu

I excavated

in the field of a dirt-poor farmer

who... like his forefathers before him

feeds his family with the work
of his honest hands.

In the very same dirt

I unearthed...

this.

CROWD MURMURS

And now, thanks to Ms Amory

this marvelous example

of 15th century mean earthenware

will be the centrepiece

of the ROM's new antiquities collection.

WOMAN:
Very nice!

SHE CHUCKLES

Oh, please, yes.

That's something, huh?
- Isn't it just?

How much does she want for it?

Ten thousand, give or take.

It's gonna make a fabulous splash.

I bet it will. And as Marian's champion

I'm sure you'll just bask in the glow.

And wouldn't that be swell?

That's my brother.

My condolences, Mr Parkes.

His full name and address?

Uh, Jack Arthur Parkes.

Ten-25 Rusholme Road.

Your particulars,
should we need to reach you?

Ronald Parkes.

Two-1 O Prospect Street.

I'll make arrangements for burial.

No funeral?

He wasn't a religious man.

Not all of us are.

Your brother's belongings.

Again, my sympathies, Mr Parkes.

Thank you.

Well, yes, I would say
I've lived an adventurous life.

Excuse me. Excuse us.

These provincial types love to ogle
anyone exotic.

But here is someone I think you know.

Hello, Marian.

Ah... Frankie Drake.

Long time.
- You've been busy since Cairo.

Small world, huh? How 'bout that?

I didn't know you were living in Toronto.

And you thought
you'd seen the last of me.

I'm sorry to disappoint.
- Well, you girls sure

seem pleased to be reacquainted, but--

Excuse rne. I mustn't keep
the patrons waiting.

No, of course not. You go right ahead.

What the heck was that all about?

She was nowhere near
Howard Carter's dig in Egypt.

What are you talking about?

The overnight train to Marseilles?

That was me.
- What?

"He persuaded me to go
to the Valley of the Kings...

he was looking for the lost
tombs of the pharaohs..."

I told you that story!

Yeah, well, the details do sound
vaguely familiar now that you mention it.

No kidding.
- Oh, Frankie!

Come on, let it go. Honestly!

What interesting person hasn't exaggerated
a thing or two about their past?

Well, not me.

Well...
- I'm sure you don”: want to hear

that Marian is a fraud!
- Oh, stop it!

Stop trying to spoil this for me, Frankie.

So, chop suey or something more adventurous?
- Ooh, what did you have in mind?

Well, there's this restaurant
serving this chicken thing

and ifs called coq au v/n.

Coq au veen? Coq... It's French.

Oh, no.

Well, alright, then.
We can just go to Quon's.

What's that?

This wasn't here this morning.

It must've fallen off Jack Parkes' hand
when they brought him in.

"To My Beloved Husband. Love Ingrid."

Oh, Flo, ifs his wedding ring.

I gotta return it.
- Well, absolutely!

His wife will want a keepsake
of her lost love.

Funny. The brother didn't mention a wife.

Ten-25 Rusholme Road.

Fancy a tram ride?

Yes!

Ten-25 Rusholme Road.
- It's quite the fancy place.

NUN: Ahem!
- Oh, excuse us.

Flo, I think this is--
- A nunnery.

I guess Ronald Parkes made a mistake.

Easy to do under the circumstances.

No problem. I got his address.
- Right.

Hey.

FLO:
This must be it. 210 Prospect Street.

MARY:
It's another wrong address. That's odd.

FLO:
I don't think so.

One wrong address is a mistake.
Two is a lie.

So, a nunnery and an empty lot.

Someone is messing
with the integrity of my morgue.

Well, if the addresses are fake,
the names could be too.

I don't understand it. I checked out
the coroner's reports.

John Parkes, or whoever he is

he died of a heart attack. It was textbook.
No fuss.

But tell them about the inscription, Flo.

Whoever the dead man was,
he has a wife named Ingrid.

And she needs to know what happened to him.

We're here for you, Flo.
What do you need from us?

I can ask Bill to take a sneak peek
in the city records.

See what he can find
on the elusive Parkes family.

What about the dead man's
photograph and fingerprints?

None on record.

But there's one way we can get them.

You sure dress nice for grave digging.

Oh, well, what did you expect,
a miner's helmet?

Yes!

Jeepers. Sorry to be so gruff.

No, no, no.

No, these tears aren't for you.

OK.

Cemetery's closing for today.

I see that.

You know...

He died...

in my arms a year ago, this day...

And so we... we walked all the way here.

It was four or five miles.

And". I brought him these flowers...

...because it was such a special day.
you see.

I would really appreciate it.

Thank you. This is my friend.

Thank you. You're very kind, sir.

Nice work.
- Thank you.

It's Jack Arthur Parkes. "Parkes" with an E.

OK.

And there should be some records
on his brother, Ronald, as well.

I'll check as soon
as the secretaries leave.

Why do you wanna know, anyway?

The less you know, the better.

What, do you think the Head of Records
is gonna tie rne to a chair down at City Hall

and blind me with some bright light?

You're reading too many spy novels.

No, I just don't want you losing
your new job is all.

No one's gonna notice
if I check a name for you.

What would I do without you?
- You'd be lost.

Honestly, a little sneaking around

livens up the file room a little bit.

Besides. I wouldn't mind a little
cloak-and-dagger lifestyle

you lead, Miss Trudy Clarke.

DISTANT SHOUTS
- OBJECTS CLATTER

You wanna cheat at Mahjong

you find another joint to play in.

Wendy, you need help?
- Nope. I'm good.

WENDY SHOUTS IN CHINESE

Honestly, sometimes...

I just hope for a simpler life.

Nah. I don't buy it.

You ladies live for the excitement.

No. I hear you, Wendy.

There's some nights
the only thing I really want

is some nice music playing and a strong arm
wrapped around me.

Think your girl is dropping you
a big hint, Bill.

Well, I should get back to work

or I'll lose my job.

City Records will fall apart without me.

I'll be seeing you soon.

I'll get you a drink.

Good, you're alone.
- What's going on?

You tell me.
- What is that supposed to mean?

There is a lot riding on this urn.

Ten thousand clams to be precise.

I wouldn't rush to write that cheque.

Alright, Frankie. Come on, spill the beans.
What do you know about Marian Hartley?

I already told you. She's a fraud.

Wrong.

The museum curator
has already verified the urn.

You know, expert eye, testing,
the whole shebang.

It's the real McCoy.

Good.
- Great.

What are you not telling me?
- You'll find out on your own.

Something happened in Egypt, didn't it?

Hmm?

Oh, you're stubborn as a mule,
just like your old man.

So, tell me where you met her.

The Windsor. Just before the war.

The palace?
- It was a drinking hole

in the back streets of Cairo.
- Oh, that sounds like fun.

Marian ran the place.
She liked to booze people up

and get them talking.
- Including you.

Oh, and now she's passing off some story

about you and Howard Carter as her own

and it's got your nose all out of joint,
doesn't it, baby?

Let's just say it's not only stories

she likes to pass off as her own.

What, you saying the urn isn't hers?

What I'm saying is you should be careful
because she's pulling one over on you.

On me'?

NORA CHUCKLES

Aw, sweetie.

Give your mother just a little bit of credit.
She wasn't born yesterday.

Really?

For your information...

I persuaded the ROM to engage
a world-renowned authenticator

to look into the provenince--

"Provenance."

Provenance o( the urn

as in, where did it come from?
And if it was stolen

he's gonna figure that out.

What's his name?

Michael Walsh.
He's like the... head honcho

at the Field Museum in Chicago.

And I'm making a big splash about it too.
Big splash!

I am putting the ROM on the map.

What do you need me for?
Sounds like you have it all covered.

Well, I do.

Fine.

Fine.

THEY GRUNT

What happens if we can't
identify this dead man?

His wife is never gonna know
what happened to him.

And the unsolved mystery
is gonna haunt her forever.

Oh...

Oh, Flo“.

Oh, I'm sorry. I mean, I'm such a nitwit.

Of course...

Of course you don't know what happened
to your husband during the war.

I mean, how he died. Oh, Flo.

I am so sorry.
- Oh, it's alright, Mary.

That's why I don't want any woman
to go through what I went through.

I don't even know where Herb is buried.

Flo, I really admire
how you cope with tragedy.

Well, wallowing won't bring Herb back.

And I've got my job.

At least for now.

The coroner gets a whiff of this,
I'm out on my ear.

I should think the coroner would...

admire this noble work.

You're trying to identify...
an unidentified body.

And on your spare time, too.

Fat chance.

Dig faster.

Graveyards. .. creepy.

DOOR OPENS

Hi.
- You don't smoke that thing very often.

Nora, huh?

We had a difference of opinion.

I saw her get into a taxi.

She seems pretty worked up
about this exhibit.

Muttering something about
that urn and a Marian Hartley?

Yes. An old acquaintance
from my Cairo days.

Ooh. Seems there's a story there.

She stole something from this young boy
who had nothing.

I mean, who does that?
Even Nora wouldn't stoop that low.

What was it?

It was an ancient amulet.

It was in this boy's family for generations

and Marian sold it off as her own.

Let me guess.

Frankie Drake, champion of the underdog,
stopped her.

I tried. I made a real stink.

Marian Muse been thrilled.

She was furious...

but I couldn't prove it.

So she won.

Bet that ticked you off.

You could say that.

So, you think she's pulling
the same stunt at the ROM'?

Well, she's done it before.

Maybe we should see what she's up to.

What's she selling?
- It's an lncan urn.

Well, let me see what I can find
about stolen Peruvian artefacts.

OK, good. What about Bill? Did he have
any luck finding the Parkes family?

It's a dead end.

There's no record on Jack Parkes
or his brother Ronald.

Somethings going on.

What has Flo stumbled into?

Oh, Flo! You've got it!

FLO GRUNTS

ls he, um... alright?

He's still dead.
if that's what you mean.

Well, uh, don”: forget the fingerprints

so we can fill in this grave
and get out of here.

CAMERA CLICKS

Stranger and stranger.

What does that mean?

The new part of his nail is discoloured.

Fingernails grow after death?

No, not exactly. It just looks that way.

They dehydrate and it retracts,
exposing the nail bed.

Right...

Wow, you really know a lot about this.

Ten years of night school
eventually pays off.

Um... well, then, what does
the discolouration mean?

Poison.

What?

Our mystery man was murdered.

Were you followed?

No. Why the secrecy?

Keep your voice down.
I could lose my job.

Ahem!

Our mystery man.

You dug up the body?

With difficulty. And a wheelbarrow.

I'm impressed.
- We didn't have a choice.

You are never gonna believe this, Frankie.
- He was murdered.

I thought he died of a heart attack.

He did.
Likely brought on by poison.

My best guess is a massive dose
of thallium-laced rat poison.

Undetectable.

The tell-tale sign only showed up
on his fingernails post mortem.

But who killed him?

Could have been the man who posed
as the victim's brother.

Could be.
- I got a good look at him.

I mean, I could try to identify him

but without a name or an address to go on
ifs like finding a needle in a haystack.

The best way to find our killer
is to figure out who this dead man really is.

Well, maybe he had a criminal record.
I could check his fingerprints.

We've gotta work fast.
We're lucky it's Saturday.

The coroner never shows up
on the weekends unless it's an emergency.

Make sure no one spots you!

90s... got it!

This birthmark could be useful.

And check out this unusual scarring

on his abdomen that was
noted by the coroner.

Intriguing.
- It's not an injury.

No.
- Could it be a surgery?

Not recent. I'll do some research.

OK.

MAN:
Officer Shaw.

Oh! Detective Greyson.
What are you doing here?

What are you doing?

L.e

Uh, just taking some time to educate myself.

Should I, in the line of duty, have cause

to take a fingerprint or two,
I would like to be prepared.

A morality officer taking fingerprints.

That's really something.

And I think I'm actually getting
quite good at it.

I see.

Ah...

It always helps to practice.
- Yes.

Well, Officer Shaw,
I commend your initiative.

Oh, Detective, that's...

Thank you.

Oh, there is one more thing.
- Mm-hmm?

Oh, of course.

Thank you.

So, I looked into the Peruvian artefacts.

A lot of lncan stuff was unearthed

when the lost city
of Machu Picchu was discovered

by some Yale professor.

One Hiram Bingham Ill.

You know him?
- I don't

but Marian claims to have
worked with him in Peru.

Well, seems Bingham's
excavation was pretty extensive.

There were hundreds of workers and thousands
of artefacts that were uncovered.

Who knows what happened to them
or how many were pilfered?

The Wild West of archaeology.

You got it.

DOOR OPENS
- NORA: Just me.

Hello, Nora.

Oh, no time for a drink
but thanks for asking.

Listen. much as it pains me to say this.
I need your help.

We're busy.
- Don't make me beg.

What's up?

There was a break-in
last night at the museum.

So call the cops.

Well, they were called! They took their time
arriving and missed the intruder.

What was stolen?
- Well, see, that's the thing.

Those oafs they call constables
swarm all over the place

can't find anything missing.
- Nothing?

Yeah, I don't buy it.

I mean, who breaks into
the Royal Ontario Museum

and doesn't steal anything?
All those priceless things just lying around

begging to be taken?

Somethings up and I want to know what.
- Well, what do you want us to do?

I want you to figure out what
the cops missed!

You're still private detectives, aren't ya?

Oh. OK. What's the retainer?

Hm? Oh, no. I am not kidding.

Going legit is no picnic.

And my reputation is at stake with this urn.

Nothing can go sideways.

Hmm? Hmm?

You in?

MAN: This lock was
the only one tampered with.

TRUDY:
They must want something in this room.

MAN CHUCKLES

If it was our beautiful urn

Mrs Amory was ahead of the thief.

She insisted on installing
this secure cabinet.

Completely burglar proof.

Seems that way.

This is the list of our inventory.

I'll check it out.

I'm gonna have a chat with an old friend.

That new detective, Greyson...

for a moment, I thought he was
going to be different

that he was going to take me seriously

but it turns out he's just like all the rest.

He has no respect
for my policing talents.

Did you find out anything?
- Well...

There's the real frustration, Flo.
I checked every fingerprint.

Whoever this mystery man is,
he's got no record

and there was no luck
on the phantom brother either.

Mary. Look at this.

Oh, Flo! These are the same
incisions as on the body.

Exactly.

I think our victim had an organoscopy.

Oh. That sounds unpleasant.

It's a revolutionary surgical technique

pioneered by a Dr Bertram Bernheim
at Johns Hopkins University.

So, if our victim was one of his patients,
maybe they can identify him.

Has he got any particular
identifying features?

A birthmark on his left shoulder. Why?

Perhaps I can put my policing
talents to use after all.

MARIAN: Your ongoing patronage
is very appreciated.

I look forward to seeing you next time.

Oh, you're back.

I'm here to investigate
last night's break-in.

Oh, well. Why you?
- Because I'm a private detective.

Private detective?

That's quite a step down
from archaeology to snooping.

Well, at least I've been an archaeologist

unlike some.
- Meaning?

You were nowhere near
the Valley of the Kings.

And the overnight train to Marseilles,
I told you that story.

I'm sure Howard Carter took lots of trains
and met lots of young women.

Well, impress your camp followers
all you want with my stories.

I'm only interested
in where you were last night.

Last night?

Here and there, being entertained
by patrons of this fine institution.

I'm sure you were doing
most of the entertaining.

I don't understand
why you're being so hostile, Frankie.

You and I go way back

and how many people
can say that these days?

Remember the fun
we used to have at The Windsor?

Did we?

Oh, come on!

You remember Lawrence,
when he came in dressed as a Bedouin

demanding a drink
in that charming English accent.

No, I don't. But I do remember
the scam that you pulled.

That's ancient history.

Not to Asim, it's not.
You do remember him, don't you?

The amulet was mine.

After his mother died,
the amulet was all he had to remember her by.

You stole from a child.

It was verified
as my archaeological find.

Just like the urn?

Nora Amory's only bringing in
some other authenticator

to drum up publicity for this backwater pile.

A backwater that's about to pay you 10 grand
for some fraud that you're pulling.

You've got it all figured out, Miss Pl.

Not yet...

but I will.

Ah, Doctor Bernheim, thank you so much
for speaking with me.

Um, I'm calling on behalf of
Detective Greyson of the Toronto Police.

The police, the PO...lice. Yes.

Um, we need your help identifying a corpse.

SHE SIGHS
A corpse.

A body. Right.

We know he was a patient at Johns Hopkins

and we believe he had an
organoscopy some time ago.

Right. So, if you would kindly
check your records

and... oh, you would?

That would be most helpful.

Oh, oh, oh, and, and, and...

he has a distinctive birthmark
on his left shoulder...

Right. That, oh, that would...

Yes, absolutely, I can wait.

TRUDY:
See this'?

Boy, that gal can sure write a headline, huh?

Yeah. Seems you've got a fan in Lipstick.

Don't I just? I got all the press clamouring
for this story.

Now if the guest of honour
would just show up.

Right. Michael Walsh is on the slow boat
to Toronto.

Yeah, you're telling me.
He left Chicago days ago.

This is the last item in the collection.

That's it. Everything checks out.

You are kidding me!

Sorry.

I hate to say it, but the cops were right.

Nothing's missing.

So, why did Marian break in?

You don't know it was her.

A break-in at the ROM
with Marian in town is not a coincidence.

That's funny.

Nora's has a pretty good nose
and she couldn't smell anything.

How come she didn't make Marian?
- Because she didn't want to.

She has too much invested.

Seems like you're pretty invested yourself.
- What's that supposed to mean?

Marian's gotten under your skin.

Cairo was years ago, Frankie.
You can't fix the past.

I'm not trying to.

Really?

Fine... but it doesn't mean
that I'm not right.

Well, there's a first for everything.
- KNOCK ON DOOR

MARY:
Hello? Oh!

I've got it!

I have got it.

Got what?

Well, Flo actually cracked it.

He was a patient at Johns Hopkins.

Who was?
- The man in Flo's fridge.

He's got a name.

It is Michael Walsh.

Michael Walsh. That's the elusive
authenticator from Chicago.

So our two investigations
are one and the same.

But who would want to kill
an antiquities expert?

Looks like Frankie's got her
number one suspect.

Really? Who is it, Frankie?

I need to send a telegram

and then catch a train.

THUNDER RUMBLES

KNOCK ON DOOR
- Come in.

Hiram Bingham Ill, I presume?

Oh... no, call me Bingham.

You must be Frankie Drake.

Thank you for meeting with me.

Oh, Howard Carter's telegram
was some introduction.

You made quite an impression.

I can see why.

So, how did you like Egypt?

SHE SPEAKS ARABIC

HE RESPONDS IN ARABIC

So, Miss Drake, how can I help?

I'm looking for something old and Peruvian.

This lncan urn.

Oh, it's very nice.

I'd say this is quite a find.

Would you say it's authentic?

I can't be sure from this photo.

I'd have to examine the real thing.

Have you seen it before?

No.

No, were you digging in Peru?

I wasn't.

She was. Marian Hartley.

You recognise her?

Should I?

She claims she was working with you
in Machu Picchu.

Marian Hartley...

Are you sure you have the right name?

Yes, I'm very sure.

She didn't work with you.

I've never heard of her.

Why are you asking?

It's a long story.

Thank you for your help but...

I have a train to catch.

Must you rush off?

I'd be happy to drive you to the station.

In the meantime...

I happen to have a bottle
of your Canadian whisky tucked away.

Well, I'm more of a gin gal.

But... I could make an exception.

There you go.

So is this what brought you to Buffalo?

Yes, actually.

I'm on a treasure hunt.

lncan gold.

Supposedly hidden from
the conquistadors centuries ago.

And you're looking for clues?

According to myth

a secret map to the treasure exists.

You think it's woven into this?

I was optimistic.

But disappointed.

Mm.

The real map... is said to bear

this lncan spider symbol.

Sadly, this tapestry has no such mark.

And you think this treasure's real?

I'm an adventurer.

We thrive on the possibility
of the impossible.

The thrill's in the chase.

A woman after my own heart.

What's up?
- We got a problem.

There's been a traffic accident
with a couple of fatalities

and the bodies are on their way here now.

We've gotta get rid of Mr Walsh pronto.

Right. I have a friend from church
who works for the Bethany Funeral Home.

I could talk to her.

I can hold the coroner off for an hour or so.
Your friend, she's discreet?

Yeah, no doubt about it.

I mean, Walsh will be the only white body
in the place

but at least he can lay in rest
'til we find his wife.

OK. Help me dress him.

What?

It's quicker with two. Grab an apron.

SHE GRUNTS

Hello again.
- What do you want now?

Well, I just spent a very pleasant evening
with an old friend of yours

Hiram Bingham Ill.

Well, he isn't in Toronto.

No, he isn't. He's in Buffalo.

But we had a very interesting chat about you.

Oh?
- You weren't in Machu Picchu with him.

Don't be ridiculous.
- Where did you get the urn?

Give it up, Frankie.
You lost before, and you'll lose again.

Not this time, I'm afraid.

Where were you four nights ago?

Why the sudden interest
in my social schedule?

Call it curiosity.

Four nights ago...

that was the evening
before my presentation.

Why don”: you ask Nora Amory?

I will.

OK, you are absolutely sure?

Well, like... I had the filet mignon,
Marian had the lobster.

I mean, it was a charming evening
on the museum's tab.

Why're you asking?
- Because Marian is a killer!

At least I thought she was.

Well, that's a little dramatic, darling,
even for you.

Who'd she supposedly kill?

Michael Walsh, the authenticator.

You're kidding! He's dead?

I'm afraid so.

Well, no wonder he didn't show up.
- Yeah, well, somebody killed him

and went to a lot of trouble
to hide his body.

Why do you think it was Marian?
I mean, she's got no reason to kill him.

The museum curator has already confirmed
the urn's genuine.

Yeah, well, I still don't buy it.

Yeah, well, four nights ago,
Marian was sucking on a crustacean

not bumping off Walsh.

Can you just keep Walsh's demise quiet
for a day or two?

Yeah. He's dead. I don't expect he'll mind.

Why?
- I just need some time to figure this out.

OK. Go, g, g, 9-

CAMERA CLICKS

CAMERA CLICKS

Just me.
- FRANKIE SIGHS

Wanted to let you know that Michael Walsh

is safely tucked away
at the Bethany Funeral Home.

Trudy came through.

Yep, and I found a way to reach his wife,
Ingrid, with the news.

Which won't be an easy call,
given that he was murdered.

You might wanna hold off
on making that call.

Why?

I may have a lead on who the killer is,
- You do?

This guy-

Holy cats, you found him!

You know who he is?

That's the man who came to identify
his dead brother! That's Ronald Parkes!

That's my brother.

My condolences, Mr Parkes.

So, so, Marian's friend Ronald
killed Michael Walsh?

But if Ronald is the killer, why show up
at the morgue and risk getting caught?

Because he wanted to make very sure

that if anyone came looking for Walsh,
he was never found.

Like his wife.
- Exactly.

Except for I found that wedding ring.

And unravelled the plan.

Why go to all that trouble to make sure
Walsh is never found?

Because Ronald is planning
to steal Walsh's identity.

What for?

A very valuable urn
at the Royal Ontario Museum.

Michael Walsh from the Field Museum
in Chicago.

I'm delighted to meet you, Mrs Amory.

SHE STAMMERS:
Mr Walsh. Hello!

SHE CHUCKLES

We were beginning to think
you'd never arrive.

An invitation to examine
an early piece of lncan pottery

how could I resist?

I'm very keen to see it.

I bet you are. Please...

Michael Walsh, AKA the walking dead

just strolled into the ROM.
What is going on?

He certainly took his time.

You knew, and you didn't think
to tell your mother!

I'm still trying to figure it out!
- Well hurry up.

Being left in the dark
makes me very uncomfortable!

Frankie, I am used to running the con,
not being the mark.

The man that you just saw,
he killed the real Michael Walsh.

Oh, charming fellow!
What is he doing at the museum?

I don't know, but he has a partner.

Oh, if it isn't Miss Hartley from Cairo!
- The one and only.

You're not gonna gloat?

No time for that.
- Oh!

What are they after?
It... well, it has to be the urn.

That's what I've been saying.
- Now she gloats.

They're after the ten grand.

So they sell the ROM a fake.

Except the urn's a genuine.

So why bother impersonating
the authenticator?

It's a classic! It's the old switcheroo.

Clearly a favourite of yours.

Well, I, I, you know, I, I may
have run it once or twice.

You find yourself a mark.

You offer the genuine article for sale.

The buyer agrees. you set a price,
you collect the cash

and then you switch
the genuine article for a fake.

And the beauty of it is,
no one's the wiser.

And then you pull
the same con somewhere else.

Exactly.
- So, how does the switch work?

Trade secret.

What? I'm saving it for my memoirs.

The question is, how are Marian and pal
gonna pull it off at the ROM?

The mysterious break-in.

Where nothing was taken.
Ronald broke in--

And he planted a replica.
But Trudy searched the place.

She didn't find anything.

Yeah, but she was looking
for something missing.

Not something hidden.

Well, there's only one way to catch 'em.

We let it play out.

OK, so when is Walsh authenticating the urn?

This afternoon.

Old times, Frankie.
- Don't push it.

OK.

Operator.
- Operator?

Can help you?
- Chicago, please.

What's the institution?
- The Field Museum.

Well, yes, the urn is a coveted treasure

but so too is Miss Hartley

who has been delighting us
with her tales of adventure.

I envy your travels to Machu Picchu,
Miss Hartley.

Oh, yes, Machu Picchu!

Words cannot describe the experience
of entering the lost city.

One's senses are completely taken over.

It's truly like holding history
in your hands.

Intoxicating.
- Completely.

Oh, I can see you're just two little peas
in an archaeological pod, so...

THEY CHUCKLE

I will leave Miss Hartley to
beguile you further, Mr Walsh.

Thank you.

The urn has been prepared
for your inspection

so whenever you're ready,
Miss Hartley will show you the way.

Take your time.

Thank you.
- Isn't it something?

Quite.

The guard will remain outside
the door for security.

You got the car?
- I'm picking it up tonight.

Be at the side door at ten.

SHE WHISPERS:
Huh. Impressive hiding spot.

SHE WHISPERS:
Yeah. They've done this before.

There it is, the old switcheroo.

Now, Mr Walsh, don't keep us in suspense
a moment longer.

What do you say?

CAMERAS CLICK
- Mrs Amory...

patrons of the Royal Ontario Museum

it is my pleasure to confirm
this is a rare and marvelous piece.

CAMERAS CLICK

A genuine 15th century lncan urn...

worthy of a place of honour...
in your fine institution.

And just one matter remaining.
Miss Hartley, your cheque.

And I hope you bring us many more
of your wondrous finds.

Count on it, Mrs Amory.
- Oh...

CAMERA CLICKS

Did they suspect anything?

Nope. The trap's all set.

So, Ronald just has to walk into it.

What about Marian?
- I'll take care of Marian.

DOOR CREAKS

Looking for this, Mr Walsh?

Or should we call you Ronald Parkes?

NORA:
Hm?

HE GRUNTS

I got him. You go.

SHE SIGHS

Hello, Marian.
- What? What are you--

Were you expecting someone else?

Don't be ridiculous. I was just leaving.

I don't think so.
You're going down for murder.

I didn't kill anyone.

I contacted the Field Museum in Chicago.

It turns out they have
the exact same Peruvian urn

in their collection,
authenticated by one Michael Walsh.

You pulled the exact same con there.

The minute Walsh saw you,
you knew the game would be over

so you and your partner killed him.

You should mind your own business.

You became my business the minute
you cheated Asim in Cairo.

MARIAN GASPS

The brush work, the seaming.

This... this detail.

It's a fine piece indeed.
- Isn't it just?

So, you think it's the real deal?

Oh, there's no question.

I knew it!

I mean, I, I, I... I kind of have an eye

for, uh... for the genuine article.

SHE CHUCKLES
- Oh.

Tell me, how did you come upon this urn?

Well, Mr Bingham."
SHE CHUCKLES

This is an interesting story.

Well, I'm gonna level with you, Bingham.

You're not just here to authenticate.

Oh. Well, you have my attention, Miss Drake.

There's something else about the urn

that I think you might find interesting.

Really?

Oh, I, uh“.

BINGHAM: N!
- NORA SCREAMS

Hold onto your hair, Nora!

Why?

Take a peek.

Does it... look familiar?

My God.“

It's the map to the lncan gold.

Gold? What gold?

After Marian and her partner
were carted away

I took a closer look at the urn and...

I found this.

Look familiar?

I'll be damned...

the symbol of the spider.

I remember you showing me the drawing

and there was nothing
on the outside of the urn

so there was only one other possibility.

Hmm. Well, wouldn't you know it?

Only Frankie Drake could smash
a priceless urn

and find some map to lost treasure.

She gets that from me.

My deepest sympathies, Mrs Walsh.

You are kindness itself.
And a dedicated coroner.

I'm not the actual coroner.

Well, you should be.

I'm grateful beyond words to you both.

She's right. You should be the coroner.

And you should be the chief of police.

Don't let anyone hear you say that.

If our bosses knew
how competent we are--

We'd lose our jobs for sure.
- THEY LAUGH

Narrowing down the vastness
of the mountain range will be a challenge.

This painted map is very specific.

This... this valley could
be a reference point.

Howard Carter's grid technique
could prove to be useful.

Methodical and laborious.

But scientific and effective.

Well, where's the fun in that?

HE SIGHS

Join my treasure hunt.

We'd make a great team.

The thrill is in the chase, isn't it?

Well, ifs a tempting offer, but...

I'm a detective now.

And who knows where
your next case will take you.

And what I might have to smash.

HE CHUCKLES
Right.

Well...

if you change your mind

you can find me in the Peruvian Andes.

Just look for the hat.

Sorry about the urn.

Yeah, how about a little warning next time
you smash something priceless?

Your mother's got a dodgy pelvic floor.

Well, console yourself
knowing that Marian used the urn

for a cheap con without ever knowing
its true value.

A delicious irony, I will give you that.

I still can't believe that you didn't
see through her.

Yeah, I don't know. I think going legit
somehow clouded my thinking.

Well, it won't happen again.

Trust me. And for starters,
I'm quitting the board of this place.

Oh. They let you go?

Yeah. All that juicy publicity?
They can kiss that goodbye!

So, they did give you the boot.

Must you harp?

So, tell me about the charming Mr Bingham.

There's nothing to tell.
- Oh, sure there is.

You've got a thing for archaeologists.

How would you know?
- Mother's intuition.

There's no such thing.
- So, you fancy a drink or what?

Thought you'd never ask.
