CRABTREE: Terribly exciting,
isn't it, sir?

MURDOCH:
Why is that, George?

CRABTREE:
One of these young ladies, sir,

is slated to become
Mrs. Rodney Strong.

SUZANNE: I must say
this eligible bachelor

could do a lot worse
than my Elizabeth.

[ Screams, crowd gasps ]

My God.

SUZANNE:
Surely your husband

doesn't think any of these
young women capable of murder.

Anyone is capable of murder.

[ Woman humming ]

Who would have the most to gain
from Miss Embree's death?

Any one of them.

The Strongs' family fortune
is... considerable.

Mrs. Rodney Strong, you will be
the toast of Toronto.

It hasn't happened yet.

[ Women screaming ]

- I'm hardly decent!
- Elizabeth!

WOMAN:
Help! Help!

[ Coughs]

No.

EVA:
You're here.

Oh, don't despair.

Surrender.

It's easier.

It's what you want, isn't it?

It what we all want... freedom.

Surrender and you can have it.

No.

No.
You're not real.

I'm not real, but I'm with you
every day, aren't I?

So why don't you join me
in death

so I can leave you forever?

No. No.

No!
[ Screams ]

- Oh.
- [ Gasps ]

That must hurt.

Join me, Julia.

Say goodbye to fear.

Or guilt.

Because that's what you
really feel, isn't it?

Killing me
because you were jealous.

That makes you a murderer.

There is no way out of that.

[ Up-tempo music playing ]

- WOMAN: Fire!
- Detective Murdoch.

Where's my wife?

- Inside!
- We were all hurrying out.

- I was sure she was behind me.
- Inside?!

Where's the bloody
fire department?

Murdoch, wait here!

Bloody hell.

We need as much water
as we can get!

Up off your bloody arses!

Julia!

I'm just trying to look out
for you, Nina.

I've survived 25 years
on this earth without your help.

I wager I'll survive 25 more.

Are you sure he's not
taking advantage of you?

He's my brother.

That's what family does
for each other.

- There's a fire!
- Here?

No.
Down on Melinda Street.

Oh, Lord.
That's where Sam's shop is.

Oh, my God.

Higgins, round everybody up.

MAN: Get some buckets.
Bring up some water.

Give me your blanket.

WOMAN:
Go on. Quickly.

Here.

[ Crowd shouting,
glass breaking ]

WOMAN:
Come on. Back here.

Help!
Help!

Help!
Help!

Give her to me!

Come on, love.

I've got you.
I've got you.

[ Grunts]

You all!
Get some water on this building!

Go on and get, love.

MAN: William! William!
Get back!

Come on!

Let's go!
Pick it up!

Shake a leg, ladies!

Let's go!

[ Coughs]

[ Crowd shouting, horse neighs ]

Samuel, you can't go
back in there!

I have to.
It's everything I've got!

- No!
- Let me go!

You can't!
It's too dangerous!

George!
Stop!

Are you all right?

[ Gasps ]

EVA:
It's all right, Julia.

Surrender, and it will all
be better.

[ Exhales deeply ]

[ Wood creaking ]

Julia!

[ Crowd shouting in distance ]

Rodney!

Elizabeth!

ELIZABETH:
Rodney!

- Oh! Are you all right?
- Yes.

- Dr. Ogden's still inside.
- Good Lord.

- Hey, you!
- Sir.

- Lend a hand.
- Oh. Of course.

Grab the empties
and refill them.

Excuse me, ladies.

If you don't mind pitching in
and grabbing a bucket.

ELIZABETH:
Of course.

Join me.

MURDOCH:
Julia!

Julia!

Julia.

[ Grunts]

[ Wood creaking ]

[ Indistinct conversations,
man coughing ]

[ Horse neighs ]

Do you have any idea
how it started?

Were you burning anything
in there?

How dare you.
I didn't do this.

Take it easy.
I'm just asking.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

We'll take her from here,
Detective.

And there's others
we need to tend to.

Right. If there's any change in
her condition, you let me know.

- For better or for worse.
- Of course, sir.

Thank you.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

How bad is it?

As far as I know,
it's most of the city.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

THOMAS: I've heard reports
that it's raging

from the Esplanade in the south
to Melinda in the north.

All of Wellington Street
is ablaze, as is Bay.

Over 100 buildings are burning.

It's going to change
the face of the city forever.

[ Music continues ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Bell clanging, horse neighs ]

[ Door closes ]

REBECCA:
Detective Murdoch.

Miss James.

How is she?

Her lungs were thick with smoke,

and there are minor burns
to her hands,

but she's breathing well.

Thank God.

Were there many killed?

I don't know.

I've heard no reports
of fatalities as of yet.

Detective, Dr. Ogden said that
there was someone else in there.

There was no one else
in the building.

I was in there.

She was convinced
she saw Eva Pearce.

Good Lord.
Is that Canada Mills?

It was.

Almost all of Bay Street gone,
I heard.

But there's only been
one casualty...

Man by the name of John Croft.

There's three pumper trucks up
from Buffalo.

We should get down there
and lend the lads a hand.

Maybe the inspector will make
some of his spicy chicken wings.

I think that will remain a treat
only the inspector will enjoy.

- Ah! Sir.
- Morning, lads.

Stick the kettle on, Higgins.

Sir.

It seems we're the lucky ones.

All got roofs over our heads.

JACKSON: Evans' parents lost
their entire business.

Bloody shame.

Right.

It's gonna get a little crowded
around here the next few days.

The mayor has deemed
all public buildings

places of temporary refuge.

So we'll be taking in boarders.

He's also allocated money

for the purchase of cots
and supplies.

So you'll need a promissory note

for any merchant
who's still in operation.

Right.
Let's get to it.

Let's try and make our guests'
stay as comfortable as possible.

- Sir.
- Sir.

Crack on, Higgins.

Sir, I was just curious
as to whether there'd been word

of how the blaze started.

They're still investigating.

What do you mean, no telegrams?

Check again.

I should have a reply by now.

What is it?

Sir, I wired Scotland Yard
days ago,

and I still haven't received
word back.

The telegraph lines
have been destroyed.

It will be a few days before
normal service is resumed.

Not that they're our number-one
priority at the moment.

Of course.

- How's Dr. Ogden?
- Recovering.

Still, close bloody call.

Your telegram likely
doesn't matter much anyway,

given that Lady Atherly
and her daughter

were the intended
firebomb target.

I'd wager that they're clear
for the first murders.

I would have to agree
with your assessment there.

Do you think that was the cause
of the fire?

Not according to
the fire department.

The firebomb
was a secondary blaze.

Coincidence or clever cover?

We'll have to catch the bugger
before we find that out.

Right.

Uh, would you like to see
the debutantes?

I thought you'd never ask.

Ridiculous.

I was at my parents'
summer home.

You can talk to the staff.

You weren't sticking around

to see if you'd become
the blushing bride?

I wasn't going to become that.

It was clear Rodney Strong was
going to pick that English tart.

[ Clears throat ]

Right.
Where were you during the fire?

I was trapped in the lobby
of the Belvedere Arms

when the blaze broke out.

MURDOCH:
Can anyone confirm this?

I was with my parents.

They've hardly let me
out of their sight

since the other girls
started getting murdered.

The doctor insisted
I accompany her.

Miss Fairhurst.

Miss Fairhurst?

Were you...

What's wrong with her?

She's been this way
since the fire.

She was in Brown Brothers
Stationery when it started.

MURDOCH:
Miss Fairhurst,

were you on Melinda Street
at all yesterday?

- Is it over?
- BRACKENREID: Excuse me?

The fire. Is it over?
Can I go home?

You may have to face up
to the fact

that we're looking at this
the wrong way.

The killer may not be one
of the debutantes after all.

Rodney Strong's fortune
is a compelling motive.

It is, but none of them
could have done it.

I've been thinking, Murdoch.

There may be a reason
more twisted than that.

A sequential killer?

It might be best
to consult your wife.

Oh, I'd rather not.

- Fair enough.
- I'm concerned about her, sir.

She's been having delusions.

- Delusions?
- Yes, sir.

Visions of Eva Pearce.

That's why she went
into the fire...

Either to save her
or to kill herself.

- The doctor wouldn't do that.
- Sir, she very nearly did.

Murdoch, perhaps the doctor
can't heal herself.

Are you suggesting
a psychiatrist?

It's just I thought you
considered that field of study

to be bunk.

Maybe I'm evolving, Murdoch.

But if it is
a sequential killer,

we need the doctor's help.

One good thing about this.

I can give my sister
her precious money back.

Might save me from being
threatened by policemen.

I apologize for that.

My tools and my supplies
are all gone.

And, uh, soon enough,
I will be as well.

Where?

Are you sure?

I mean, I think you've got
a really good idea here.

More people are buying autos
every day,

and nobody really knows
how to fix them.

That's what I thought, too.

You know,
maybe you need a partner.

I've got some savings.

You trust me with your money?

We'll see.

You doing this to get in good
with my sister?

I'm already in good
with your sister.

I'm doing this

because I honestly think
you have a solid idea.

You'll be wanting your name
on the sign?

I hadn't thought of that.

But I like the idea.
Sure.

Crabtree and Bloom.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Coughs]

You saved us...
Both my daughter and me.

Why did you go back
into the blaze?

[ Door opens ]

I thought that there was someone
in there.

We were alone.

[ Door closes ]

I heard someone.

Detective Murdoch.

Lady Atherly.

Oh, please.

After everything
we've been through... Suzanne.

I was hoping to have a word
with my wife.

Of course.

We owe her a great deal,
Elizabeth and I.

Goodbye, Julia.

Goodbye.

I'll see myself out.

Thank you.

DR. OGDEN:
[ Coughs]

How are you?

I can breathe.
[ Chuckles ]

Good.
Good.

Julia... when Miss James
was attending to you,

you told her that you saw
Eva Pearce in the fire.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Julia, please answer me.

I didn't have to kill her
that day.

Truth is, I think
that I wanted to kill her.

I'm no better
than the people you catch,

the people you hunt down.

Now, don't be ridiculous.

I'm not being ridiculous.

I wanted her dead,
and I murdered her.

It wasn't murder.

I was there.

- MURDOCH: Eva!
- [ Gasps ]

MURDOCH: The truth is
if you hadn't killed her,

she surely
would have killed you.

You were free.

You would have stopped her.

I may have.

But I can't say that I
would have in time to save you,

not for certain.

Still...

Julia, you did what any
normal person would have done.

You were fighting
for your own life.

It wasn't murder.

It was instinct.

I should rest.

I hope you don't turn out to be
like every other man in here.

How is that?

Just another one
trying to buy me.

Hardly.

I think getting involved
in your brother's business

is just a smart idea.

I thought he was a criminal.

In my experience, criminals
often have good ideas.

It's just the execution
that's lacking.

So you trust him?

I think he deserves
a second chance.

Besides... I don't need to buy
your affections.

Is that so?

I reckon most nights

you can hardly wait
to them give them to me.

[ Coughs]

Oh.
You should stay in bed.

Oh, I'm feeling a little better.

Good.
Very good.

[ Bell tolling in distance ]

Simon Reynolds?

Uh, yes.

Did jail time
for viciously assaulting women

in the Rosedale Valley.

Joseph Tilton?

Three counts of violating.

Why were you investigating
these men?

[ Sighs ]

I now have to be open
to the idea

that the person responsible
for these murders

could be a sequential killer.

The methods of murder
are quite different...

A knife, a gun, and a bomb.

Yes.

But the characteristics
of the victims are identical.

All young women, rich,
traveled in the same circles.

So you think the killer hates
them because of their privilege.

Possibly.

So it could be either a man
or a woman.

A young girl angry
she's been denied

the life her victims enjoyed.

Or a man who hates them

because he thinks they don't
deserve what they have.

Your theory is reasonable.

Thank you, but it was suggested
to me by the inspector.

He doesn't seem to think

that this has anything to do
with Mr. Strong.

And you agree with him?

Oh, I don't know, Julia.

Every step I take
leads to a dead end.

[ Sighs ]

But I still can't help thinking

that the murders are because
of him.

- [ Knock on door ]
- [ Gasps ]

[ Exhales deeply ]

- Ta-da!
- Ta-da! [ Laughs ]

Detective Murdoch.

Julia, greetings!

I have news... wondrous news!

Oh.
Would you like a seat?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No.

I am here to present the city
of Toronto's newest couple,

Mr. and Mrs. Rodney Strong!

Let us all toast
the blessed union!

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

Oops.
[ Chuckles ]

Um...

MURDOCH: Well, this is certainly
a whirlwind.

Well, I was operating
under a tight time frame.

Rodney.

It wouldn't have mattered.

From the moment I laid eyes
on her, I knew.

Who knew that true love
could strike twice?

Oh, Detective,
Ruth was a mere trifle,

a first love.

Dear, sad girl.

This... This is different.

Oh, don't let the detective
upset you.

I know firsthand
he's a suspicious sort.

Isn't that right?

Besides, his wife is the reason
you two are married.

If she hadn't saved
Elizabeth's life...

Yes.
Thank you, Dr. Ogden.

- I hardly...
- Oh, look at the time.

Oh.
We're expected elsewhere.

Let's hurry along.

Oh, would you like
to come with us?

Some of Rodney's friends
are throwing a fabulous party.

Oh, you go on.
And congratulations.

Thank you.
[ Chuckles ] Come on.

SUZANNE:
[ Laughs ]

Thank you.

What is it?

Oh, it's likely nothing.

Go on.

Lady Atherly seems
overly grateful.

- Well, you did save her life.
- So she says.

But the two of them
were scant feet from the door

when the blaze started.

I hardly think they needed me
to escape.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

[ Steam engine chugging,
indistinct shouting ]

Be very careful.

Do you recall
where everyone was standing?

I was standing over there.

And the two of them
were standing right there.

So they could have seen

the person with the firebomb
approaching.

If they were looking
in that direction.

Well, say they were.

If they'd known
that they were coming,

they could have easily escaped
from here.

Why would they willingly
put themselves in danger?

It's better to appear

as a potential victim
than a potential murderer.

So you think Suzanne Atherly
and her daughter

are murdering all the debutantes
in Toronto.

Julia, all I know is that
Elizabeth Atherly is now married

to one of the city's
wealthiest men.

A family that was facing penury
is now set for life...

Something that wasn't
entirely possible

when those girls
were still alive.

JACKSON:
I know it's not ideal,

but I'm sure the mayor
is working quickly

to secure
more suitable lodgings.

Where will children sleep?

In here as well, I'm afraid.

Next to the people
they don't know?

Well, I'm sure they'll
get to know them in time,

become one big, happy family.

Higgins, get off your backside

and look useful
for once in your life.

Sir.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Ah.
Sir.

This has arrived for you.

Apparently they've restored
telegraph service.

Apparently.

Thank you.

No problem, sir.

All of this is already known
to you.

Not all.

You never mentioned a man
named Trevor Cross.

And why would I?

He caused your family
considerable embarrassment.

All the more reason
for not mentioning him.

He was in a relationship
with your daughter.

A gardener with a member
of the aristocracy.

An affair
I had swiftly terminated.

You must see how this looks
to me.

Your daughter
was in a scandalous affair,

your family a laughingstock,
and you were destitute.

You light out to Canada.

To start a new life.

Many people do.

And two murders later,
she has a wealthy new husband.

Yes. She's now a respectable
married woman.

Do you plan on arresting her
for that?

No.

But I do plan on fully exploring
how that came to be.

I know all of this.

Elizabeth told me.

Told you what?

Told me she was involved
with a disreputable character

while she was in England.

It was a youthful indiscretion.

And her financial situation?

She made clear to me
her family's diminished fortune.

Oh.
I see.

No, I'm not sure you do,
Detective.

And I will make it plain...
Her frankness in these matters

is one of the reasons
why I married her.

More than her family name, her
honesty bespeaks her character.

Now, is that all?

I wish you all the happiness
in the world.

Thank you.

I feel that I've had more
than my fair share of the other.

[ Up-tempo music playing,
siren wailing ]

[ Men whistling, cheering ]

MAN:
Help me!

Bring that fire over here!

So does this mean
you'll be spending

all of your free time
with my brother?

Oh, I shouldn't say.

He's nowhere near
as good-looking as you.

[ Music, whistling continue ]

[ Laughter echoing ]

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Up-tempo music playing,
men whistling ]

So, Constable,
this is your lucky day.

I've decided to give you
a chance at my heart.

Among other things.

I'm sorry.
I-I can't.

Henry.

I just can't.

I thought you said your friend
was interested in me.

I thought he was.

ERMA:
[ Breathing heavily ]

Help!

Somebody!
Please!

Help!

[ Screaming ]

[ Slicing ]

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

REBECCA:
Thank you.

She would have died quickly.

You think it could have been the
same knife as the other victim?

It's too early to tell.

Of course.

Did you know her?

I interviewed her.

She was one of the debutantes.

Hasn't Mr. Strong
already married?

He has.

Then why kill her?

Isn't it too late?

Perhaps someone was jealous
of their good fortune.

It doesn't make any sense.

[ Music continues ]

I'll just get him.

Sir, I have somebody
you should speak with.

Uh, this is Colin Dunn.

Detective William Murdoch,
Toronto Constab...

I've been around Toronto
long enough to know who you are.

- Ah.
- Mr. Dunn saw the victim, sir.

Erma Fairhurst.

If that's her name, I saw her.

- When?
- Last night.

Saw her leaving the
Biltmore Hotel in quite a hurry.

- She was upset, you see, and...
- Let the man speak, George.

Well, she was crying.

At least that's
what it looked like to me.

Whether she was upset,
who could tell.

Most women cry
at the drop of a hat.

Uh, many men, also.

Did you happen to see anyone
following her?

I did not.
But I did not lag.

I had work to do.

And, like I said...
Crying woman.

Yes.
Of course.

Thank you, sir.

- Very interesting.
- What's that?

This gentleman saw the victim
leaving the Biltmore Hotel.

That's where the bachelor and
his new bride are staying, sir.

According to Madge Merton,

they're occupying
the entire top floor.

You think
it's the bloody bachelor.

Well, sir,
he knows all of the victims.

He was on site
for all the murders.

Then he was at the fire.

Still, nothing concrete.

This man says he saw the latest
victim leaving his hotel.

With of all these
circumstances...

- I'd have a word.
- Mm.

She was here.
What of it?

Why?

She asked me to annul
my marriage.

But it's a little late
for that now, I'm afraid.

She wanted you to end
your marriage.

For what reason?

She said she was in love
with me.

I said I was sorry.

She told me these shocking lies
about Elizabeth.

Would you care to share those?

I would not.

And I very much doubt
you can compel me to.

As far as I'm concerned, she's
a spoiled brat spreading scandal

because she didn't get
what she wanted.

I'm done with her.
You can tell her that.

She's dead, Mr. Strong.

She's... She's dead?

We found her body
in an alley last night.

Her throat had been slit.

Oh, that... that's horrible.

Does her family know?

They've been notified.

Oh.

Oh. Well, I apologize
for what I said about her.

But s-she...
She upset me terribly.

Where were you last night,
Mr. Strong?

I was with my wife.

Can she confirm this?

I would certainly say so.

I'd like to speak with her.

She's not in.

Well, then, would you mind
if I examined your hotel suite?

You may not.

Mr. Strong, what are you hiding?

Nothing.

But I will not have you
examining my marriage bed.

Very well.
I'll be back.

If you wish to enter, I'll need
to see a judge's warrant.

Of course.

Sir?

Sir!

Sir.

[ Door closes ]

[ Bell chimes ]

Rodney Strong has just left.

Follow him.

Sir.

DR. OGDEN:
You're leaving?

My daughter is now
a respectable married woman.

My work here is done,
don't you think?

And Elizabeth?

We're all going home...
Her, Rodney, and me.

Thank you for your generosity
and hospitality.

Allow me to accompany you
to the train station.

I'll just be a moment.

Julia, that certainly
isn't necessary.

Nonsense.

What sort of hostess would I be
if I didn't see you off?

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Door opens, closes ]

ELIZABETH:
[ Laughs ]

Patience.

MAN:
Attention, passengers...

ELIZABETH:
The train will be here shortly.

- There's no need to stay.
- DR. OGDEN: Nonsense.

Look.
There he is.

Rodney!

Lady Atherly.

Please.
[ Chuckles ]

It's Mother now.

Dr. Ogden, I-I must apologize

for our rather obnoxious
behavior the other evening.

One never need apologize
for high spirits.

And again, congratulations,
Mr. Strong.

Thank you.

Now, where's Elizabeth?

She said she would meet me here
shortly.

This is all quite exciting.

I've never been overseas before.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

We'll be together soon enough.

[ Mid-tempo music playing ]

[ Bell clanging in distance ]

I kissed a man's wife.

Don't think you can arrest me
for that.

From the looks of things,

you've done far more than that,
Mr. Bishop.

- Goodbye, Dr. Ogden.
- Safe travels.

MURDOCH:
No one's going anywhere.

I'd like a word with you two.

Oh, I think we've spoken enough.

This time we'll be discussing
the truth.

George, arrest them.

Take your hands off me.

My God.

Trevor Cross.

What the hell
are you doing here?

Ma'am...
Ma'am!

- Let him go!
- Oh!

MAN:
Everybody out!

SUZANNE:
No.

Let go of him.

[ Up-tempo music plays ]

L-Let him go.

Elizabeth.

- You would kill your own mother?
- RODNEY: Elizabeth.

I said let go of him.

Let him go.

Elizabeth, she's your mother.

Who tried to ruin my life.

We need a carriage... now.

All I wanted was to be with him,
and she wouldn't let me.

- Get us the carriage.
- [ Gasps ]

Yes, yes.
You'll have it.

Let her go.

We'll let her go
when we're good and ready.

He doesn't love you.

What man would allow you
to marry another

if he truly loved you?

He's using you
more than your mother ever did.

That's not true.

He killed them, didn't he?

Elizabeth...
you're not a murderer.

You're just desperate.

And all that money.

He'll likely kill you next.

- Don't listen to her.
- DR. OGDEN: Why, Mr. Bishop?

- Because it's true?
- SUZANNE: Let me go.

Please.

RODNEY:
Elizabeth...

...I love you...
no matter what he did.

TREVOR: Don't listen to them.
Listen to me.

If you kill her, you'll never be
the person you once were.

You'll be changed forever.
Believe me.

You're not a murderer,
Elizabeth.

You know that.

[ Gasps ]

[ Grunts, coughs ]

Bastard.

CRABTREE:
All right. Get up.

It was easy.
The poor man fell for me.

Why did he agree to go
to England with you?

He still felt he could win
my heart.

Even after he found out
about you and Trevor?

Well, he didn't find out.

I told him about Trevor.

After the marriage
was consummated, of course.

And he still wanted to be
with you?

[ Chuckles softly ]

It's amazing what men
will believe possible.

And why did you let him come?

Well, there was no reason
to kill him.

[ Clears throat ]

And there was the matter
of changing his will, of course.

There was that.

I'll be charging you
with murder.

What?

No.
I-I was duplicitous.

But I didn't murder any of them.

Well, that would contradict
Mr. Cross' statement.

He's agreed to sign my report.

You...

This is a lie.

T-This is a lie.

He killed them.
Not me.

No. He killed Ruth, as she was
the only one standing in my way.

And Faye Sloane?

She was too nosy.

He said it was only
a matter of time

before she found out about us.

And what of poor Erma?

She was killed long after you'd
already gotten what you wanted.

She saw Trevor and I together.

You knew
of all of these murders?

Yes, I did.

And yet you did nothing.

No.

Hardly the actions
of a desperate woman, hmm?

Uh...

Um, Detective Murdoch?

My mother knew nothing of this.

MURDOCH:
Mr. Cross returned to Canada

after the dissolution of his
relationship with your daughter.

He befriended Mr. Strong

and knew of the necessity
that he marry.

When he learned you and your
daughter were immigrating to...

He killed them all
so Elizabeth could marry.

Did Elizabeth know of this?

I'm afraid so.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Will she be executed?

It's not for me to say.

But she'll most certainly
be imprisoned.

This is all my fault.

You tried to give her
a better life.

I should have let her choose
her own.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Ladies and gentlemen,

the mayor wanted to pass on
the news

that as of tomorrow, you'll be
rehoused in the armory.

Enjoy your final evening
here at Station House Four.

Thank you.

[ Music continues ]

[ Telephone ringing ]

Sir?

What is it, Higgins?

[ Latch clicks ]

Sir, I'm placing myself
in your custody.

Bloody hell.

You'd better have a seat,
and I'd better have a drink.

So why am I arresting you?

Because I am a scoundrel, sir,
and a coward.

And you have been for years.

So what brings you here now?

I started it.

Started what?

The fire, sir.

The... The fire that has caused

all these good people
such distress, sir.

It was me.

And how in God's name
did you do that, Higgins?

My cigar started it, sir.

[ Laughing ]

I hardly think it's funny, sir.

You didn't start the fire,
Higgins.

The fire departments
have released a report.

They believe it was
a faulty stove.

So it wasn't me?

I'm afraid you won't be able
to add

"starting the Great Fire
of Toronto"

to your list of accomplishments.

[ Chuckles ]

Well, thank you, sir.

Higgins.

Sir.

Good lad coming forward
like that.

Thank you, sir.

Now, if you don't mind, there's
a woman I need to apologize to.

Apologies to both a woman

and for doing something
you didn't do.

Just another day
in the life of Henry Higgins.

[ Chuckles ]
Yes, sir.

[ Grunts, door rattles ]

Sorry, sir.

[ Chuckles ]

SAMUEL: I think this could prove
an even better location.

CRABTREE:
I can't think of a better place

to get one's auto fixed.

Although I-I still think
"Crabtree and Bloom"

would have rolled off the tongue
a little easier.

Thank you for all your help,
George.

I'm sure you'll do
a roaring business, Sam.

- [ So do ]
- [ Vehicle approaching ]

You there.

Would you like to come
take a look inside?

Hello.

You realize what you've done,
don't you, George?

What's that?

You've inserted yourself
directly into our family.

Oh, yes.
I suppose I have.

I wonder how that will work out
for you.

What do you mean by that?

Well, he hasn't really been
successful at much.

[ Chuckles ]
I do hope you have deep pockets.

[ Laughs ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Mid-tempo music playing ]

William!
How much longer?

Just a moment.

[ Birds chirping,
water flowing ]

You can open them now!

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Oh, it's beautiful, William.

MURDOCH:
Yes, it is.

And... where are you?

I'd say I'm looking east
over the Don River.

No.

You are in the master bedroom.

I'm in the dining room.

To my left is the sitting room.

What do you think?

In the middle of nature
in the middle of the city!

It's wonderful, William.

MURDOCH:
[ Laughs ]

But...

But what?

Well, don't you think we'd be
better on the other side?

I mean, I'd prefer to watch
a sunset than a sunrise.

W-Well, I...

I-I'm not quite...

You.

[ Laughing ]
I'm only teasing.

- [ Laughs ]
- It's perfect!

Oh, good!

I'll place the offer
in the morning.

Now, what you didn't see
on the way in...

William...

...I know now
that I did what I had to do.

Yes, you did.

And Eva Pearce?

She's gone, William.

Gone for good.

Good.

Good.

Now, since this will be
a thoroughly modern home,

I have an idea
of how we could recruit energy

from the planet itself.
