Come on.

Man 2: Go on, son.

You little beauty, ah.

- Cheers.
- Come on, Jack.

Down it. Down it, Jack.

Down it.
Down it. Down it.

Down it. Down it. Down it.

Down...

Uh...

There you are.

Inspector Blake,
I can explain...

Which part?

Drugging a dozen men?

Or stealing
a priceless artefact?

It was eight men.

And I didn't steal anything.

I returned it
to the British Museum,

for a fee, I admit.
But as soon as I had done so,

I immediately informed Scotland
Yard. So, no harm done.

You could have killed one,
if not all of them.

A little laudanum never hurt
anyone, Inspector Blake.

Perhaps we should continue
this conversation inside.

Perhaps I should have
forewarned you of my plan.

I'm sorry. Do you forgive me?

No, not remotely.

We need to be discrete.

We'd better close the door then.

We need to be careful.

You cannot simply kiss me
in the of my hallway, Alexander.

You didn't seem to mind.

Oh, I just... I just want to stay
in this bubble forever.

No one else knowing
or interfering.

Things are perfect as they are.

Mostly, yes.

What do you mean, 'mostly'?

Eliza, I have offered you three
cases in the past fortnight,

all of which you've turned down.

I've been extremely busy.

How does Clarence feel about you
turning down work?

Well, he feels the pain
every bit as much as I do.

Mm.

You didn't tell him, did you?

The truth is I...
I worry what it would be like

working together now.

As do I.

But there's only one
way to find out.

Yes, but I've never been in this
situation before,

I don't want anything
to ruin it.

Eliza?

Inspector Blake.

How nice to see you again.
- Mrs. Potts.

I see more of you here
than I do at work.

What do you want for dinner?

Anything's fine.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

You're usually fussy
about what you have for dinner.

I should be getting back.

Yes. Thank you for coming,
Inspector Blake,

I'll be sure to speak to
the accounts department

about my invoice.

Be sure that you do,
Miss Scarlet.

I'll see you out,
Inspector Blake.

Mrs. Potts.

Inspector Blake.

I know that girl inside out,

and I've never seen her
so happy.

And I have a sneaky
inkling as to why.

Don't go asking me to share my
inklings with you, Barnabus.

We both know what you're like
with secrets.

Barnabus...

you've hardly touched
your bacon.

Oh, I cannot deny
I'm a little troubled, my dear.

Why? What's happened?

As you know...

I like to keep
all the mortuaries

under my charge, spic and span.

However, recently,

chaos has begun to seep
through the cracks.

Cracks caused, I'm sorry to
say, by our Chief Coroner.

Mr. Wormsley.

He's become a shadow
of his former self.

He now arrives at work late,
he leaves early.

His administration has become
woeful, indeed,

and on more than occasion
I have noticed

a potent aroma of whiskey
about him.

Oh, you must speak to him.

It's not fair to lay extra work
at your door.

Well, there's a strict chain
of command

one must respect, my beloved.

If everyone went around saying
all that was on their minds

there would be...
- Anarchy?

Precisely.

Then all I can offer is a kiss.

Might that sooth
your furrowed brow?

Yes, yes, my jewel, yes.

That may alleviate
some of my discomfort.

- Aw...
- Alright. See you later.

Excuse me, I can't seem to find
the Clerical Office.

Er, I think it's at the end
of the corridor.

You think?

I've only been here once before.

It's my first day.

Really? Mine too.

End of the corridor, you say?

On the right. I think.

I'll give it a try, thank you.

Oh... good luck.

You too.

Pardon.

Well, when is Mr. Wormsley
due in?

I don't know, he didn't say.

Very well. Please let him know
that we are still waiting

on the postmortem
from yesterday.

Yes, Sir.

Come.

Detective Willows
reporting for duty, Sir.

Yes, I'm well aware who you are,
Detective Willows. Please.

You, er, seem to have something
on your lapel.

Oh, I do apologize, Sir.

A teething baby at home.

I didn't realize
you were married.

It's complicated, Sir.

So, given this is your
first day,

normally I'd give you time
to find your feet.

But I'm afraid we're still
a couple of men short.

I think you met
Detective Fitzroy

when you came in for
your interview?

- Yes, Sir.
- Well, he's now left

to take the role
of senior detective

in the Birmingham force.

And Detective Phelps is...

Is at the City of London Police,
Sir.

Yeah, I have some mates there.

And what are they saying
about him?

He's doing very well, Sir.

You can speak freely.

He's a bit of a character,
is what I hear, Sir.

Indeed he is.

So, are you ready
to get to work?

Yes, Sir, very much so.

And thank you again
for giving me the job.

I won't let you down.

Glad to hear it.

Two dead bodies for our
immediate attention.

One in a townhouse in Mayfair,

the other in a cold,
drafty alleyway in Kilburn.

Well, if you wanna make a good
impression on your first day,

I would take...

The drafty alleyway in Kilburn,
Sir?

Mm. I believe you and I are
going to get along just fine.

It's not that business has dried
up completely,

but things have been
rather quiet.

Particularly from Scotland Yard.

Oh, things will pick up,
Clarence. They always do.

Well, yes, but we haven't had
a single case

from Scotland Yard
for some time now...

Well, it has been
unseasonably cold,

which as you know, does have
an effect on the crime levels.

Usually, in such lean times,

you'd be accusing Scotland Yard

of employing
an alternative agency.

Usually, you'd be on your feet
and out the door

to talk to the Inspector.
Usually...

Can you please stop saying
'usually'?

This is about you
and Inspector Blake, isn't it?

I have no idea what you mean.

Oh, I think you do.

You...

have offended him
in some way

and he's refusing to employ you.

Your powers of deduction still
need honing, Clarence.

I can assure you Inspector Blake
and I are on the best of terms.

Professionally speaking.

Now, can you please drop
that odd looking frown?

It's very disconcerting.

She hasn't said a word, Sir.

I'm Inspector Blake
from Scotland Yard.

I believe it was you who found
the body?

Can you tell me your name?

Take her back to the Yard.

Get her a cup of tea.

Yes, Sir.

Come on, love.

No evidence of a robbery.

No sign of a struggle.

Potassium Bromide.

The victim's well dressed,

there's no obvious signs
of attack.

Doesn't look like a theft,
she's still got her purse.

Yes, Sir.

Two bottles
of Potassium Bromide.

Two dead women.

A coincidence, Sir?

Tell me about your lady?

Her name was Elizabeth Roper.

A passer-by said that she was
having some sort of fit

before she died.
Convulsions and such.

I've asked uniform to do
house-to-house enquiries.

I also have a potential witness.

A young woman,
she seems traumatized by

whatever she saw,
hasn't said a word,

not even her name.

When I was at Bow Street,

if we had a female witness
who was in shock

we used to ask one of
the secretaries

to sit with her for a bit.

Do you have any ladies
you could ask?

An urgent request
from Scotland Yard.

That's welcome news indeed.

Shall I get you a cab?

Not yet, I'm... I'm thinking.

May I point out that you've been
reading the same telegram

for almost ten minutes now?

What if another case comes in?
Something...

something bigger,
more lucrative?

I don't understand.

Well, it's a fairly
simple concept.

I don't understand because
that's literally

never bothered you before.

Am I missing something or...?

Fine.

Fine, I'll go.

Miss Scarlet.

Inspector Blake.

Where is she?

Would you like a cup of tea?
Coffee?

I know where they keep
the whisky, if that helps?

There's no rush.

Take your time.

As I said,
my name is Miss Scarlet,

but you can call me Eliza.

And you are?

My name's Sarah Mason.

She arrived at the house
of the deceased, Miss Quail,

at twenty-five past eight
this morning.

The door was ajar,
and when no one answered,

she entered to find Miss Quail
collapsed on the floor.

What was her reason for going to
Miss Quail's home?

Well, Miss Mason is a secretary
to a doctor in Harley Street.

To...

Isambard Cole.

He was treating the deceased
for a form of neurosis.

He sent Miss Mason
to check on her when she failed

to attend an appointment
last evening.

That is most comprehensive.

Thank you, Miss Scarlet.

I believe she's now ready to
make a full statement.

I'll send my invoice to
the accounts department.

You're leaving?

You asked me to speak
to your witness and I have.

I'm sure you can take it
from here.

No...

persuasion or manipulation

to get me to hire you
on the rest of the case?

Well, this is a new dawn, indeed.

And one I am ill-prepared for.

I'm trying to make the best of a
difficult situation, Alexander.

Believe me, it's not easy
turning down work.

Eliza...

I don't want people to know
about us either.

Not yet, anyway.

But the fact is...

you are an excellent detective,

and I need your help.

Are you trying to charm me?

Yes.
Is it working?

Come.

Detective Willows,
this is Miss Scarlet.

I know who she is, Sir.

It's nice to meet you,
Miss Scarlet.

- And you.
- I saw you in court once,

you were giving evidence
at the Jacobson trial.

You kept interrupting the judge
and you got fined.

Twice.

Only twice?

You have some information
on your poisoning?

I do, Sir.

The deceased, Mrs. Roper,

she was under the care of
a doctor at Harley Street.

He specializes in treating
melancholia.

Doctor Isambard Cole,
by any chance?

The very same.

So, both women were prescribed

Potassium Bromide
by the same doctor?

Yeah, it would seem that way.

We need to speak to this doctor
and contact the pharmacy

that supplies him
with the drugs.

There's also the postmortem
of the two women

that need to be expedited.

Thank you, Miss Scarlet.

I'm quite aware of what
the next steps should be.

Do what she said.

Yes, Sir.

Well, as you said,
I can take it from here,

so, thank you again
for coming in.

Unless you do want to help
with the investigation?

I'm fine, thank you.

So...

we'll say that I'm here
because...

I interviewed his secretary,
and...

I've worked for Scotland Yard
for many years.

Even before you arrived,
in fact.

So, be sure to mention that.

Are you alright?

Yes, I'm fine.

It's just our first professional
engagement since...

Well, you know, I just...

want everything to go smoothly.

As do I.

After you.
- No, Alexander,

when we're working together,

it's best that you treat me

as you would one of your men.

You can be polite
in our private time.

Perhaps you could write a list

of what I am meant to do
and when?

Thank you.

Two of my patients found dead?

Mrs. Roper collapsed
in the street

and Miss Quail was found
home by your secretary.

By Miss Mason?

The poor creature suffers
from a nervous disposition,

she will be most traumatized.

Well, yes.
That's why I interviewed her.

Because as a woman, Inspector
Blake thought it might help...

since... Miss Mason
is also a woman.

A lady detective.

How curious.

Do you often work together?

I have a longstanding
relationship...

working relationship
with Scotland Yard,

not just Inspector Blake. So...

Well, that's why I'm here.

Both of the deceased were found
with the same medication.

Potassium Bromide.

Was it you who prescribed that?

Uh, to control the melancholia
from which they both suffered.

They were also undergoing
a course of electro-therapy.

I use the updated adaptation
of the Pulvermacher's technique.

Oh...

yes, I've read about this.

Patients are given
electrical currents

that pass through the body
to the brain. It's...

It's said to calm the mind
of agitation.

I...I told you about this.

At your office.

At Scotland Yard.

Yes, Miss Scarlet.

Thank you for reminding me.

Particularly of the location
of said conversation.

Elizabeth Roper was seen to have
some kind of convulsion

before she died. Could...

this be linked to the treatment?

Mild convulsions only occur

whilst the electric current
is being administered.

As for the Potassium Bromide,

it is possible, I suppose,
but it...

would be an extreme and unusual
side effect.

Could someone have tampered
with the medication?

Unlikely.

I receive it sealed from
the pharmaceutical supplier.

I then administer the dosage
myself.

We will need a list
of all other patients

prescribed with
Potassium Bromide.

Yes, of course.

It may not be a factor,

but until we see the postmortem

we cannot be sure.
- Yes.

You mentioned that
your secretary, Miss Mason,

suffers from
a nervous condition.

Is she also on this medication?

Yes, she is.

I'll add her to the list.

I'll speak to Miss Mason
whilst you and your men

track down the other patients.

What?

You are so intent on keeping

our relationship secret

that you are in danger
of broadcasting

the very thing you're trying
to conceal.

Yes. Perhaps I am being a little
overly cautious.

My nerves were a little frayed
in there.

Really? I had no idea.

I'll go and visit Miss Mason.

Would you like a lift?

No, no, no, no.

The less we're seen together,
the better.

Good day, Inspector Blake.

Easy...

Oh...

Hold the door, please.

Good day, Mr. Potts.

Ah, Detective Willows.

Unaccustomed to seeing you
within these hallowed walls.

Transferred from Bow Street.
It's my first day today.

Best of British to you.

Actually, I was just coming
to see you.

We need the postmortems
for the two women

brought in this morning.

Well, I'll send word as soon as
the examinations are completed,

but I must warn you,
we are running

very much behind today.

Hence why I'm here.

Have you perchance seen
Mr. Wormsley?

Afraid not.

I can find hide nor hair of him.

If you do happen upon him,

please impress that he is needed

at the mortuary most
precipitously.

And do use that word.

- I'll do my best, Mr. Potts.
- Thank you.

Hello again.

Did you find it?
The clerical office?

I did, you're a life saver.
Thanks so much.

How's your first day?

So far so good.

Glad to hear it.

I didn't get your name.

Willows, Detective Willows.

George Willows.

It's a lot of names.

I'm just Isabel.

Well, Isabel Summers.

Nice to meet you,
Detective George Willows.

Miss Mason?

Miss Mason?

Who are you?

Do you know that man?

I believe so.

I don't know his name,

but he's a patient
of Doctor Cole's.

I remember seeing him
a couple of weeks back.

He came to see Doctor Cole.

What did he want with me?

Well...

we can't be certain,

but there's a chance that
the two women who died

had their medication poisoned.

Two women?

Another of Doctor Cole's
patients has died,

as well as Miss Quail?

Yes. A Mrs. Elizabeth Roper.

And you think the medication
may have killed them?

Well, we're still waiting
on the postmortem report.

I think you should stop
taking your tablets

until we know more.

May I ask why you're taking
the medication?

Life has been a struggle for me.

I grew up in an orphanage.

And then the workhouse.

And when I came of age,
I left to work in a laundry,

which is where Doctor Cole
took pity on me.

He took me in.

First as a housemaid,

and then he trained me
as his secretary.

He taught me to read and write.

A father couldn't have
done more.

You're having electro-therapy?

It helps me tremendously.

Doctor Cole administers it.

He'll know the name of the man
you found here.

Dr. Cole: Sounds like the man
you describe is Zebediah Sawyer.

He's a long-standing patient
of mine.

A poor creature plagued by
demonic voices,

telling him to cause people
harm.

When was the last time
you saw him?

Last week.

He turned up at my door
in an agitated state.

We'd started a course
of electro-therapy

a few days earlier, and he was
adamant it had made him worse.

I offered to help him,
but he wouldn't listen,

he was in a blind rage.

Enough to wish harm on you?

An act of revenge perhaps?

Zebediah developed his condition
in his early 20s.

But before that he was
a functioning member of society.

He had several different jobs,
including...

being a clerk
at a pharmacy store.

Could he have the skill
to tamper

with the medication
you prescribed?

The bottles you found on the
dead women, could I see them?

Both bottles
are wrongly labelled.

According to Doctor Cole,
one tablet of Potassium Bromide

is the standard daily dose.

These labels say five tablets,
a potentially lethal amount.

Luckily these are
the only bottles affected,

the other patients all had
the correct dose.

So, this Zebediah Sawyer
tampered with the labels?

Perhaps as revenge on the doctor
who failed to cure him.

It seems so.

Any news on the postmortems?

Still waiting, Sir.

What on earth's going on
at the City Mortuary?

I saw Mr. Potts earlier.

He was looking for Mr. Wormsley.

Grayson, get yourself down to
the City Mortuary,

find out what's going on
over there.

Yes, Sir.

Do we have an address
for Zebediah Sawyer?

There are at least
twelve known addresses.

The man moved around a lot.

It would save time
if we took a few each.

No, you will remain here.

What? Why?

Miss Scarlet, the man we are
hunting is extremely dangerous.

Then I will be careful.

As we all will.

I have many resources
for such scenarios.

I will take some hired muscle
with me.

Oh, you do bring me
to the nicest places.

Travel broadens the mind,
Clarence.

Only two more to go.

What's the next address?

Er, it's just a few doors down.

This Zebediah Sawyer clearly
likes this neighborhood.

I'm curious, why did you bring
me along with you?

I promised Inspector Blake
that I wouldn't go alone.

Yes, but that's my point.
You've lied to the Inspector

many times before.

Well, it's a habit
that I wish to break.

Why, what's changed?

Nothing's changed.
I just want to

tell Inspector Blake the truth,
that's all.

'Premises moved to
Belmont Street.'

What?

So, you told the Inspector

that I'm your hired muscle?

No, of course not.

Well, then that is hardly
telling him the truth, is it?

Can we please just concentrate
on the matter in hand?

You stay here,
visit the public houses

and the streets around.
See what you can find out.

Apparently the man's
a heavy drinker.

I'll go to this Belmont Street
boarding house,

see if there's been any sign
of him.

Oi.

You're sending me

to the roughest pubs

this side of the city

to look for a heavy drinker

who hears demonic voices

telling him to kill people?

I'll meet you back at the office
first thing.

If you don't show up,
I'll send out a search party.

How does that sound?

Unsatisfactory.

Evening, love.

I'm looking for Mrs. Potts?

You've found her.

I've been sent to give you this.

We need to put out an appeal
for information

on a man named Zebediah Sawyer.

This needs typing up
and circulating.

Consider it done. And you are?

Good evening, Detective Willows.

Miss Summers.

How are you settling in?

Yeah, there's a lot to learn,

but I think I'm getting there.

She's doing very well indeed.

Was there anything else,
Detective Willows?

No, that's all.

Thank you.

Sir?

Where've you been all day?

I had to go ahead and find an
interim coroner in your stead.

Not now, Potts.

Yes, now, Mr. Wormsley,

if you please.

Sorry...

Sir... but I can hold
my tongue no longer.

Things need to be said,
before the good reputation

of this mortuary
is forever tarnished.

Get out and stay out.

What the...

I...

Thank you for your time.

If there's any sighting at all
of Mr. Sawyer,

then please contact
the police immediately.

He's extremely dangerous.

I have a revolver
and I'm not afraid to use it.

Well, I'd really rather
you didn't.

Alexander.

Miss Scarlet?

Ah...

I made myself look an idiot.

You're overreacting.

Do you have any idea how hard
it's been for me

to build my reputation,
only to act like

some damsel in distress.

I even called you Alexander.

Detective Willows won't care.

He'll put it down to you being
scared witless.

Which, by the way, is allowed,

since you are a mere mortal
like the rest of us.

I'm tying myself in knots
thinking

what I should say,
what I should do,

how I would behave if I were
a normal detective?

When exactly were you normal?

I'm more concerned that you
put yourself at risk.

It was only luck
that I was there,

Belmont Lodging House
was my list.

You said you wouldn't
go alone.

I wasn't alone.

Clarence was with me
for most of the time.

Clarence was your hired muscle?

Years of carrying ledgers
has not gone to waste.

He's stronger than he looks.

And now I feel guilty
about lying to you.

You see, this is impossible,
we cannot work together.

Eliza, you're overreacting.

One of the lads just came by

with a message for you,
Inspector.

Thank you, Mrs. Potts.

Mm.

I have to go.

I've made a decision.

I will no longer
work on the case.

Don't be ridiculous.

I want our...

courtship, romance,
whatever you want to call it,

to have a fighting chance.

This is the best way.

Well...

for what it's worth,
I think you're wrong.

No one knows about us, Eliza.

But you must do
what's right for you.

Have I not been like a mother
to that girl?

Have I not been the one to pick
her up when she grazed her knee?

Or dried her eyes when
Arabella Herbert

called her the cruelest
of names?

Or defended her to her father

when she was expelled
from college?

Again. Yet she tells me nothing.
Nothing.

How was your day?

Hm? Oh.

I was dismissed.

Mr. Wormsley finally arrived
at work

at five o'clock this evening.

Five o'clock!

Well, I could take no more, so I
gave him a piece of my mind.

Oh, Barnabus, I am sorry.

He would not even allow me
to collect my things.

Threw me out like a vagrant.

Ruined my hat.

And do you know what else he
called me?

A vexatious buffoon.

Well, you wait and see
what I call him

if I ever set eyes on that man.

Thirty years I have given
to the City Mortuary.

And now, for the first time
in my life, I'm...

I'm unemployed.

Oh...

Why don't you get out of
these work clothes

and I'll make you a nice dinner?

Then we shall talk things
through

over a glass of sherry
by the fire.

- Yes.
- Good evening.

Would that it were.

What's wrong with Barnabus?

He's been sacked.

Sacked?

That's what I said.

What's wrong with you?

Is there anything
you'd like to tell me?

Like what?

Dinner will be in an hour.

Very well.

Good evening, Sir.

Detective Willows.

What have we got?

He was pulled out
about an hour ago.

There's a gunshot wound
to the head.

And do we know who he is?

I think this is our man, Sir.

He certainly fits
the description.

Ah, Zebediah.

What did you do?

You can confirm that this is
your patient Zebediah Sawyer?

It is.

Is it possible that he could
have taken his own life?

The gunshot seems to have been
at close range.

On more than one occasion
he expressed suicidal thoughts.

That's why we started the course
of electro-therapy,

but his drinking exacerbated
his symptoms.

I tried to persuade him...

to stop.

But he had a chaotic mind.

It's late.

I'll come by in the morning
to take a full statement.

Get some rest, Doctor.

I did everything I could
to help him.

But over the years I have come
to realize that...

that some people
are beyond help.

It's not like you to
forget your key, Clarence.

It's not like me to be suffering
from alcohol poisoning.

As requested, I visited
all the public houses

of the Seven Dials last night

in search of this
Zebediah Sawyer.

In one particularly
grotty establishment

called The Plague Pitt,

I ran into a spot of bother
with some of the locals.

I honestly think I would
have been safer

in an actual plague pit.

I had to buy five rounds of...

the roughest of whiskey

for the whole pub.

That is the only reason
I am still alive.

Well...

thank you for your efforts,

but Scotland Yard are no longer
in need of our services.

What? Why not?

Well...

because I've just
received a telegram

from Inspector Blake.

A body was found on
the riverbank last night

and identified as
Zebediah Sawyer.

Really?

Clarence, will you please stop
questioning me

every time I mention
Scotland Yard

or Inspector Blake.

All I was going to say is that

according to my new friends
at the Plague Pitt,

Mr. Sawyer is very much alive.

- What?
- Yes.

He's awaiting sentencing
in Manchester County Prison.

Barnabus.

I heard about your dismissal.

I'm sorry.

I've been instructed to
come by to pick up

my personal effects.

Do you happen to know if
Mr. Wormsley's in attendance?

Well, no-one appears to be here,
the door was left open.

Mr. Wormsley's gone out
and left the door on the latch.

Not for the first time.

I'm pleased that you're here,
because I need your assistance.

I'd like to look at
the photographs

of two recent postmortems,

the dead women
brought in yesterday.

I'm afraid
that as a former employee,

I am no longer permitted
access to the premises.

Well, I won't tell if you don't.

That would be a severe
breach of protocol.

I simply cannot. No.

Mm. No. Of course not.

Well, I am here on official
police business,

so... perhaps if you assist me,

then I can grant you permission?

And you do need to collect your
things, do you not?

Er...

Very well.

Miss Scarlet...

would you be so kind
as to grant me permission

to enter the City Mortuary?

Permission granted, Mr. Potts.

Now then, I need your brain.

Thank you.

Doctor Cole?

Miss Mason...

Sarah...

Please put the gun down.

Whatever's happened,
we can talk it through...

Talk to him.

Not me.

He's the liar.

He's the one that's lied again
and again and again!

Put the weapon down, Miss Mason.

Sarah is my daughter.

Her mother...

was an inmate
in an asylum where...

I was the residing physician.

She was so beautiful.

So fragile...

We fell in love.

I knew it was wrong...

which is why I left my position,

and I never saw her again.

I had no idea she was
with child,

or that she died in childbirth.

I only found out years later
through

some research I was carrying out
at the Woolwich Workhouse.

There I found a file on Sarah.

By that time, she had left,
but...

I was determined to find her.

I was working in a laundry.

It was a miserable existence.

One day...

Doctor Cole came to do
a study on the health

of the girls that worked there.

He seemed to feel sorry for me
in particular,

and took me in.

He never told me
who he really was.

The man lying in the mortuary

isn't your patient,
Zebediah Sawyer, is he?

Unlike the two women, he doesn't
have the marks on his wrists

from the electro-therapy
you said you'd given him.

His name is Franklin Sloane.

He was a private detective who
helped me track Sarah down.

Two weeks ago,
he showed up at my door, drunk.

He had gambling debts,

and tried to blackmail me.

I refused to pay him.

But when I found out he had
visited Sarah,

I knew he would reveal to her
who I really was.

Which is when you had the idea
to blame him

for the deaths of the two women.

You gave him the identity
of a past patient

you knew was locked up
in Manchester prison.

So, if Sloane didn't
poison them...

who did?

It was me.

I made a mistake.

Got confused by the different
medicine dosages

and mixed up the information
on the labels.

All of this...

it's my fault.

I am the one to blame,
not Sarah.

The poor child had not
long learned to read and write.

I pushed her...

too hard.

Gave her too much
responsibility.

I was just so proud of her.

So, you blamed Sloan to protect
your daughter.

And then you killed him.

Not before he told Miss Mason
the truth.

This morning...

I woke up to find an envelope

had been slipped under my door
in the night.

In it was a file...

where I learnt that...

Doctor Cole was my father.

I was so angry and confused.

In a rage...

she picked up my revolver.

She didn't mean to hurt me...

The same revolver used to put
a bullet in Sloane's head.

So, what happens now?

Well, given the circumstances,

if Miss Mason puts in
a guilty plea,

I'm fairly sure she will
avoid a prison sentence.

Doctor Cole on the other hand...

Do you still have that whiskey
in your office?

Are you suggesting being seen
entering my office?

Together?

Very funny.

Goodnight, Detective Willows.

Miss Summers. Goodnight to you.

Was there anything else you
wanted to say to me?

Or ask me?

No, I don't think so.

Shame.

Because I'm free this evening.

I'm afraid I'm not.

I have to pick up the baby
from the minders.

Oh, I, I didn't realize...

She's not mine...

She's my sister's.
She lives with me.

It's a long story.

Well... goodnight,
Detective Willows.

But... I'm free tomorrow night?

I'm glad you changed your mind
about working the case.

The outcome could have been
very different.

You would have worked it out.

Probably, yes.

Eliza...

You don't need to say it.

You don't know what I was going
to say.

You were going to say that me
believing I can keep us

in some sort of bubble is not
only childish, but unrealistic.

I was going to say...

as an ex-military man,

structure and control
run through my veins.

But over the years
I've learnt that

trying to control too much
of your life is futile.

And when you stop
trying to do so,

that's where the real
freedom lies.

Oh, and there's one more
thing...

Goodness. I don't know how much
more wisdom I can take.

The burden of this situation
might be eased

if you were to confide
in someone.

Someone other than me.

Barnabus?

Barnabus?

Ah.

You're cooking dinner?

Indeed I am, my beloved.

Now, sit down, put your feet up,

and I'll go and fetch you
a nice glass of sherry.

What's brought all of this on?

I've decided there's no point in
moping about,

so, until I receive a full and
satisfactory apology

from Mr. Wormsley,

I shall be in charge
of household duties.

I'm rather looking forward
to giving this kitchen

a spring clean.

Perhaps even a little
rearranging.

Oh, so, the stew...

gently simmering.

So... before I add my dumplings,

just enough time to fetch that
sherry bottle, my jewel.

- Ah.
- Ah. Scusie me.

Nice to see him
so contented again.

Mm-hmm.

Ivy, there's something
that I need to tell you

about myself
and Inspector Blake.

I'm listening.

Well, he's coming to dinner, so
we need to set an extra place.

And?

And...

we are currently enjoying
a quiet,

very private...

courtship.

Goodness me, I had no idea.

You're a terrible liar.

And you shouldn't have
kept it from me.

And you shouldn't be listening
at doors.

You and Inspector Blake.

That is music to my ears.

But please, keep it to yourself
for now,

we're still working out
our arrangement.

My lips are sealed.

Bottle o' sherry.

Barnabus, Inspector Blake
is joining us for dinner.

Ah.

I invited him.

The more the merrier.

We can enjoy a nice long game
of gin rummy after dinner.

The four of us, all evening,

putting the world to rights.

Oh, won't that be marvelous?

Marvelous.
