Scandal how's that well for the Upper

Crust being an artist model isn't

respectable profession is being rich

foreign

[Music]

how did you know the Brian George she

was a friend of air please sir well

actually not a friend per se it's backer

rant Crystal exquisite

please put that down Mr Newsome herb and

Roses in the winter no less and do I

detect poly actors Mr Newsom I'm going

to have to ask you to leave this could

be a crime scene GC are you going to let

him speak to me like this

questions

there aren't any signs of external

injuries

I've been informed that she showed a

loss of balance was in Delirium and fell

into a daze immediately before her death

those are highly unusual symptoms that

I'll have to take a closer look the

morgue attendance should be here shortly

thank you Miss heart

foreign

I have no idea

we did her hair put on face powder

she even insisted on wearing a bit of

color on her lips which I thought was

out of line for a wedding

I just wanted her to look beautiful and

respectable

and after that

she went into a fit of giggles

she was delusional she started rambling

nonsense she lost her balance just

walking across the room

she seemed to think she was on fire

and then she just died

pardon me sir

please excuse me a moment

the Bridesmaids they're the Bridesmaids

I'm the maid of honor Rosalind plum were

you all present when the bride expired

yes we were all there

and the groom was as well

the groom can't see the bride before the

wedding

you don't think he had something to do

with it do you that's absurd he adored

her and she him a whirlwind Romance

he must be devastated

it's hard to believe that anyone could

tame him of course Angela wasn't just

anyone

why do you say that Miss Webb Eunice

Webb Patrick Branch can have any woman

he chooses no one ever thought he'd

accept being tied down with a wife and

family hush stop scandal mongering

thank you ladies Mr branch

detective Murdoch Constable Crabtree

Toronto constabulary our deepest

condolences obliged

were you with Miss Hall when she died no

I haven't seen her since yesterday

afternoon

she wouldn't allow me to see her on our

wedding day

if you excuse me I have some important

things to take care of at my office

sir

he hardly seems concerned that his

fiancee just died George

aside from her mother it doesn't seem as

though anyone here cared for the bride

much at all

[Music]

foreign

told me about the unusual symptoms Miss

heart indeed giddiness drowsiness

laughing and incoherent speech and then

death

all within a matter of five to ten

minutes

I admit I have no idea as if yet what

could have caused them could it be ergot

poisoning I expected that but there are

no signs of swelling or discoloration on

her limbs it seems most likely it would

be a poison of some kind I concur well

you've only just begun your examination

no reason to believe you need my

assistance

why don't you assist me anyway I may not

need the help but I could always use the

company

wow

I haven't spent an afternoon with a dead

body in a while if you don't mind the

intrusion not at all

if the bride was poisoned we'll need to

determine what she ate or drank most

recently I'll speak with the bridal

party

you ladies let me know what you find in

your postmortem

yeah so why should we start

perfume you shouldn't have it's not for

you you naughty it's for Margaret and

the best part is it was free I found it

in a donation bin it looks like it came

from a very expensive department store

doesn't it it does look by other deers

huh I'm gonna put it in some old

wrapping paper from Holt rental and

surprise the missus Sarah wait a minute

you're going to try to trick your wife

into thinking you bought her an

expensive gift it's a gift correctly

what does it matter where it came from

well why are you showing it to me

because you're going to wrap it you're

always bragging about how talented you

are wrapping Christmas presents if it's

a gift it's a gift and not forget him

the peace to resistance

a lovely bit of ribbon for Flair

did your daughter have any illnesses or

medical conditions no Angie was blessed

with perfect health

did she eat or drink anything she had a

breakfast of egg toast and tea

and who prepared this she and I together

I take it you ate it as well

from the same Skillet and the same

teapot no ill effects none after

breakfast we left for her big day in

High Spirits

did Miss Hall consume anything else once

she arrived at the church we had tea

with sugar and milk everyone did except

Audrey who was late

was there anything else

Meredith clean turkey spoon so loud you

would have thought she was competing

with the church bells

she's so tedious to be around

unfortunately she's bosom friends with

Angeles childhood

I meant was there anything else that

Miss Hall ate or drank we also had

blueberry scones with the tea we each

took one from the basket

I remember because Roslyn made me

collect the dirty dishes afterwards

so everyone had tea with milk and sugar

and a blueberry scone except for Miss

spinner who was like is that correct

Miss Kane that's right

who brought the blueberries goes I

believe

you described it

what happened after tea and scones

that's when Audrey finally arrived she

pretends to be a proper lady but her

lack of punctuality bespeaks her

character

at Miss Webb if we could focus on Miss

Hall I'm getting to that

as you bought a bottle of champagne we

support ourselves in modest glass

and did

all drink some oh

Angela loves a good bubbly that's why I

brought it

I'm glad I wasn't too late to share it

with her my maid did a poor job of

pressing my dress this morning so I had

to take the time to properly chide her

before I left home

[Music]

and after the champagne shortly after

that Angela put on her dress

that's when she started going mad and

well you know the rest

oh Margaret there you are I've got you a

gift oh oh it did open it that Mrs

brackery the gift wrapping Exquisite is

it not

I don't know seems fine

sir

got a rash on your hand

so do you

promise

this is beautiful

George sir may I see

oh that very much resembles the rash I

noticed on Mrs Hart's hands at the

morgue to have you touched anything

unusual the perfume we both touched that

perfume bottle I think this is sir where

did you get the perfumes

found it in a donation bin what does it

matter what donation Ben

the one outside the Metropolitan United

where Angela Hall died

if you both handled that perfume bottle

and Miss hard handled the victim's body

then perhaps

that is the bride's perfume

what are you getting in America I don't

precisely know sir but if some poison is

inside that perfume bottle it would

explain these rashes

what on Earth what's the matter Mrs

Brackenridge put that down

gently

that perfume may have killed Angela Hall

[Music]

what do we do now

we need to determine if this bottle of

perfume did indeed belong to Angela Hall

and hopefully there isn't a batch of

poisonous perfume circulating around

Toronto sir I don't understand how Miss

Hawk could die at the inspector and I

just develop a bit of rash inhaling the

aerosolized particles could lead to

death you only had skin contact

presumably from a minute amount of

residue remaining on the exterior of the

bottle so the same poison could have two

different effects depending on how one

came into contact with precisely it

would help to determine what poison is

in there

it

fume you bought for me ended up

I have no idea

well I have half a mind to telephone

Holt Ram through

oh deal I didn't get it from Holtz I got

it I have a donation bin

you got me second hand perfume

well there's nothing wrong with

secondhand it's poison

Margaret I saw something I thought you'd

like and made a gift of it to you is

that really such a bad thing

I suppose not

but you owe me a bottle of perfume a

non-poisoned one

we found fluid in the lungs and a

hemorrhage in the windpipe the buildup

of fluid and blood would have led to

asphyxiation and death

as I suspected

the poison was inhaled not ingested

precisely we found nothing in the

stomach contents so if the poison were

contained inside say a perfume bottle

that would do the trick does the victim

have any rash on her skin like the one

you have Miss heart no a rash can take

hours to develop she likely died before

it appeared so miss Hart developed her

rash after touching the victim's body

that remained covered in perfume

particles

I believe we've recovered this perfume

bottle I just need the two of you to

determine what's inside

ladies are you sure you're all right to

handle the evidence I think we'll manage

inspector but you may want to stay back

shall we

ready

it's all right

I've got it

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

for her wedding day she and I

picked it up right before we came to

church

and is that perfume here now I found the

box it came in

oh but the perfume's not here

Mrs Hall is it possible that this is the

perfume bottle in question it's purple

yeah that's the one

this is Hall this bottle was found in a

donation bin just near here do you have

any idea how it may have gotten there

I haven't got the faintest idea did you

see Miss Hall put the perfume on yes as

soon as we got here before any of the

Bridesmaids arrived had she ever used

this perfume before no uh the Box even

had a seal I saw her open it with my

very own eyes very good

where did this perfume come from Mr

travel the finest perfumery in Toronto

yes I created this perfume for Miss Hall

La Delirious or the hour of the iris

Mr traville what was the nature of your

relationship with Miss Hall I've read

her name in newspapers but it was my

first time meeting her I was honored

that she allowed me to create a scent

just for her

what were the components you used to

create this scent

detective a nose never shares his

recipes a nose an expert on creating

Exquisite olfactory experiences such as

myself well Mr travel it's possible that

this perfume was used to commit murder

Hood heavens

that's impossible

gentlemen step over to my organ

hmm

the organ is where I experiment with

fragrance notes just as musical notes

can be layered into a chord in a

fragrance too there are top notes heart

notes and bass notes

a symphony of sense my word

which notes did you use in the perfume

in question I started with the base

notes of Cedarwood and Haitian vitiva

the middle notes were the oils of Rose

Jasmine and ilang ylang

the most delicate of floral top notes

oil of peony and oil of Iris all diluted

in jojoba oil and distilled alcohol

right

and does anyone else have access to

these

notes no

well someone did tamper with this organ

once Mr laram I form a trainee once

sabotaged my work after he departed my

employee why would he do that he was

full of contempt

when he was training he wanted to

explore synthetic ingredients I said

absolutely not my fragrances are a

hundred percent natural

that's why I asked him to leave

so are you saying it's possible

that he broke in here and

poisoned this perfume custom fragrances

are locked in this cabinet so that

customers in the shop don't pick them up

I hang the key to the cabinet behind

that clock

only someone who worked here would know

that he is the only person who could

possibly have done it and I know where

you might find him

travell is a terrible liar and a dirty

stick in the mud

he told us you disagreed with how he ran

his business did you not sabotage him or

having a disagreement is not a crime

Mr Laurent this is a murder

investigation

as a former trainee of his you had

unique knowledge of his premises and

therefore could have snuck in and

poisoned one of his perfume bottles I

suggest you start being truthful

all right fine

I slept some fish juice into Mr travell

since you also slipped poison into a

custom fragrance intended for Miss

Angela Hall never I'd never use poison

why would I to frame Mr travel the

Scandal would have ruined his business

when was this supposedly done sometime

between Friday evening and this morning

well that's easy then I was in Hamilton

visiting my sister until just this

afternoon

fun

into Mrs Hall lied to us she said nobody

but her daughter touched the perfume

after it was picked up from travels

George

breathe through your mouth

I need you to do something for me

now for the fun part

the trouble may be isolating the poison

itself

a few of the perfume ingredients May

interfere with the process

George

it's me George

I have to go like that yeah

I'm sorry to interrupt your work I need

to collect some finger marks

and I uh

well I didn't know you had this

[Music]

uh detective sir

I found four different finger marks on

the bottle of perfume I've identified

three of them as the victim the

inspector and myself

and the bride's mother no sir I can't

say who the fourth person was but it was

not her

the Bridesmaids all expressed rather

disagreeable sentiments after the

bride's death

but the perfume was applied before they

all arrived unless sir after they

arrived one of the Bridesmaids poisoned

the perfume bottle and in the bride this

time unseen by the mother added another

Spritz

bring in the bridal party George sir

I don't see why all this is necessary if

someone killed Angela it's clearly mad

with Kane

why do you say that

she's not like us

she's poor so that makes her a killer I

don't know who's to say

Angela should have dropped her a long

time ago she smells of rubber thank you

pardon she works

at the Billings and Brothers Rubber

Factory I'm telling you if it's any of

us it's Meredith right

Angela was my best friend

even Andre spinner has to admit that

I have to admit poverty seems an

unlikely motive for murder

confidentially speaking I get to Eunice

you're after

it's always eyeing Angie's Couture

dresses

she probably wanted them

for herself

so you think she would have killed her

for dresses is Miss Webb not wealthy

enough she could just buy her own

first of all these are exclusive dresses

handmade and sold in limited numbers to

select customers only once per season

Angela was a darling to cutriers

Eunice

Green With Envy

please those outdated dresses bore me if

this really is Foul Play it would be

Rosalind the maid of honor that's right

or Rosalind doesn't show it she's

resentful that Andrew was able to join

the latest Tian Shopping Club

Angela is an artist model after all

this is the first time you're hearing of

any resentment she doesn't like to show

it even if their friends Rosalind has

firm beliefs that the club should be

reserved for modest young ladies

ah I couldn't care less if Angela is in

the club or not very well miss Plum

remove the gloves please this is

preposterous I wish to go home are you

refusing to give me your finger marks

maybe I am what of it your friend was

murdered the killer left their finger

marks on the poisoned bottle if you

don't mind Miss Plum your gloves

[Music]

the rash

[Music]

it was you

[Music]

it's plum

your finger marks are a match for those

found on the perfume bottle

and you also have a rash which strongly

indicates that you were in contact with

the perfume bottle fine

I took the stupid perfume you were

getting rid of the murder weapon that

you used to kill Angela Hall murder

weapon

I had no idea it was a murder weapon I

wanted to throw the perfume out because

Angela had insulted me

insulted you how a month ago I presented

Angela a perfume as a bridal shower gift

now naturally I expected her to wear it

on her wedding day but when I saw she

hit the nerve to use a different perfume

that insulted you of course so I took

her new perfume and I threw it away I

snuck the bottle into my purse sometime

before she fell to the floor later it

was too late to just put it back so I

threw it into a bin next to the church

you expect me to believe that you

removed a murder weapon from the scene

of a crime by pure coincidence

I am telling you the truth I had no idea

that perfume was poison

isolating the poison poses quite a

challenge

what about salt effect distillation

[Music]

dissolving salts would decrease the

volatility of the water thus making it

easier to separate then we can use a

solvent instruction method to separate

the oils hexane yes the oil and hexane

will float on top and can be removed

then the hexane can be evaporated off at

low temperature

[Music]

excellent plan Miss art

is it true they've arrested Roslyn Plum

she's in the cells as we speak or did

she actually do it

well she admitted to taking the moral

weapon and discarding it really

snake I didn't know she had a dinner but

why would you want to kill Angela Hall

well she claims she didn't she claims

she simply took the perfume out of spite

because the bride had ignored the

perfume that she'd given her as a bridal

gift

that sounds like Rosalind

does it yes of course these women are

nothing if not Petty and entirely

self-obsessed this behavior is quite

normal for them

really

because

you didn't believe them

but if that's the case then maybe she

didn't kill her friend

as women are more enemies than friends

remarkable

friends and enemies at the same time

freminis

just like you and Rupert yeah Rupert and

I are not friends well your not friend

came looking for you at the flat well

I'll be told him I moved to Tibet

so it's the maid of honor yes she's

detained in ourselves but frankly sir I

don't know that there's enough evidence

to secure a conviction

Julia and Miss Hart have yet to prove

that the poison is in the perfume bottle

though it seems certain and still there

is this

all right that thing you found at the

murder scene oh detective are you

wearing a perfume

Mr Newsome no I'm not come come

oh I know that sent anywhere you smell

of absolutely luxury my good man

I assure you I have no time for perfumes

well but one cent reflects one's mood

surely you enjoy cologne on occasion

I prefer to bathe

you wouldn't by chance be smelling this

would you

I can't smell a bloody thing then there

is something lacking in your old factory

capabilities inspector unlike mine which

are finally attuned this is precisely

what I mistook for a perfume I can smell

it across the room

what is it

no idea

but my nose never lies give give

yes this is the signature note of every

cologne I have purchased from the

trivelle perfumery

Mr travel do you recognize this why yes

where did you find it the scene of Miss

Hall's murder we believe it was left

there by the killer meaning that if this

is yours no no this isn't mine Mr travel

one of your clients has stated that this

is reminiscent of your signature sense

yes that's what I'm saying I believe I

know what it is

but it's not mine however

allow me to be sure

thank you

oh yes

indeed it is ambiguous

smells nice what is ambergris exactly

well you can smell the earthy sweet

muscular with tones of the sea culture

that's amigress

a scent included in some of my finest

fragrances this one for instance

that's lovely in fact I might take a

bottle of that for the Mrs excellent

selection

so you use ambergris in many of your

fragrances but this is not yours I only

purchased the extracted oil in fact I

don't think I've ever seen such a large

raw block before

one would find a block like this only on

Far Away Shores after it's been

regurgitated from the intestine of the

sperm whale

it's whale vomit

well then who here in Toronto might have

something like this in their possession

I can tell you precisely who there's

only one company that Imports the stuff

Mr brunch do we have a word

yes

Mr branch do you recognize this

I've been looking for that it's

ambergris my ambergris yours

well I lost a lot just like it recently

where did you find it it was found at

the scene of your fiance's murder

you are under arrest Mr branch

please come with us

[Music]

can you tell us why this piece of

ambergris was found at the scene of your

fiance's murder

you claimed that you'd never been inside

the dressing room yet you admit that

this belongs to you

I had nothing to do with her death

yesterday we held the wedding rehearsal

at the church afterwards

Angela and I snuck into the dressing

room and

engaged in Amorous Congress

we addressed so quickly the ambergris

must have fallen out of my pocket I I

always keep a block with me to

demonstrate the quality to my clients

if all that's true then why lie

there's already been talk of Angela's

virtue because she's an artist's model

I didn't want to taint her name having

relations before marriage

you returned to work a few short hours

after her death

you hardly seem to care about your

fiance at all

I needed relief from

some of the wedding guests they they

seem to require condolence more than I

did so I retreated to my office

I loved Angela more than anything

Detective

if you want to hang me

in this moment I hardly care

so you've made an arrest yes but I have

some questions about his motive

have you been successful in identifying

the poison ah we've tested for several

but everything's come back negative we

have another six possibilities we'd like

to test there's a problem we only have

one single drop of the poison left it's

enough for one more test so you're

saying you're going to randomly choose

one of the six remaining and hope that

it turns up positive it's our only hope

Miss Hart

[Music]

[Music]

it's negative

we fail Detective

I'm not so sure you have

you've narrowed it down and you're

certain that one of the remaining five

is the poison

is he certain yes

yes there's someone who may be able to

help please put the stoppers back in the

vials and send them over to the Station

House but the poison is empty William

residue may be enough

introduce him I

on you and I being friends I simply

don't understand you are friends with

Henry Higgins I am friends with Henry

Higgins after the transitive property we

should be friends

and yet you dislike me

why do you want an honest answer of

course you are self-obsessed and

desperate for approval but only the

approval of your fellow rich twits and

all you talk about is nonsense like

owning airplanes and you and I have

nothing in common

oh

I didn't expect your honesty to be so

honest

Mr Newsome

we need a favor

well I am eager to help if asked by

George is this really necessary yes

yes

will you help us Mr Newsome Mr Newsome

is my father's name George my name is

Rupert old some old friend will you

please help us

but of course

um

excellent right this way Mr Newsome

we believe this vial contains traces of

one of these five poisons to me they

smell of nothing my hope is that your

nose can be applied to sense Beyond

those used in perfumes

Hall oh no Miss Hall inhaled aerosolized

particles which damage the mucous

membrane

deeply waft the order toward yourself

like so I don't want to die

this isn't some trick to get me to die

is it no that would be murder we're not

trying to murder you

oh all right

anything for a friend

right first the poison in question

vaguely sweet yet accurate

very good and now the others

nope

smells like feet

who perhaps certainly similar

and the next

it's this one

the scent is a match

ing Benzene I'm not familiar with it sir

I am

ah

on my days at the auto shots Benzene we

used to use it to degrease metal

surfaces Benzene and industrial cleaning

agent yes precisely I had no idea it

could be used as a poison how could

anyone involved in this case come across

Benzene let alone discover its

properties and use it to murder well

there is one person associated with the

case who works in the factory sir

Billings and brothers the childhood

friend Meredith King

foreign

you killed your best friend instead of

being there for her

my constables found this syringe in the

lining of your bridesmaid's dress

you would be wise to confess

your sentence is obviously at the

discretion of the judge but if you

confess show remorse

it may go better for you

I paid 75 dollars for the bridesmaids

dress

Angela didn't even ask me if I'd be able

to afford it

I found the money

[Music]

then

then I made Angela pay

you killed your best friend over a dress

when Angie told me if her

idea for a custom perfume I knew I must

take the opportunity

I could steal High concentration Benzene

from the factory

afterwards the talked her into spraying

of Fresh Prince

because I'd injected the Benzene

straight into the tube of the pump

she'd inhale most of it

at the factory I witnessed a worker who

died of benzene poisoning

[Music]

Angie and I were born in the same common

neighborhood we were

bosom friends

but as We Grew Older the world seemed to

shower Angela and good fortune

she met generous patrons

I met no one

but other wretched Souls

she climbed the social ladder and I was

stuck molding rubber tires

[Music]

so that's why you killed her no you

don't understand even when invited to

her Circle

the others made me feel unworthy

even Angela

[Music]

I began to think I was just

he kept me around as a reminder

how far she'd come

you felt humiliated

I'm not sorry I got caught

because what's the price for me to pay

what's this

pathetic little life

[Music]

George

you requested my presence yes I did

I was wrong to say what I said you've

proven yourself more than useful you

mean we are friends

well we are family after all and I've

got an excellent nickname for you the

nose the nose

I love that

ah inspector well so listen Sir Mr

travel has put together this gift of

colognes for us I think he's grateful

that we proved that his perfume was not

the cause of Miss Hall's death

mmm quite nice

smells like someone just chopped down a

tree yes he thought that scent in

particular would be fit a bunch of lads

I prefer the subtler notes myself I

agree with you friend smells like sweat

sawdust

and hard work there's nothing wrong with

that

I'd much rather smell like a lumberjack

than a bunch of lilies

but sir Lily smell lovely I don't know

why you'd want to douse yourself with

something that smells like a like a

acts each to their own buglugs but I

have a feeling the missus is gonna love

it

[Music]

welcome home William

Julia

perfume yes I concocted it myself from

Mr travel's inventory

I guess I was inspired by this case

I'm wearing some right now actually

smell it on my neck oh yes

very nice

I've heard

that some perfume can make a man's heart

race

how do you figure it does that

the way I think is that at the end of

the day when a woman takes off all of

her clothes

fragrance is All That Remains

sent as like a preview of what's to come

I've never been much for previews

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

[Applause]
