He owns a number of factories.

Which he bought

from his original business.

Will you please just tell me
what's happened?

I went to see Carter's servants.

All were terrified
by the mere suggestion

they would have stolen from him,
but none would say why.

So, I did some digging.

It seems Mr. Carter
is from the most notorious

crime family
in the North of England.

Murder, extortion,
gun running.

So let's just do our best

Agreed?

You mentioned you'd found
something of interest.

Indeed I did.

The diamond feather
was put up for auction last year

by Admiral Nelson's family.

From what I gather, they did so
somewhat reluctantly,

due to falling on hard times.

They've been forced to sell
many of the family's

prized possessions.
Precisely.

As I was going through the list
of guests

who attended the Carters' party,
I came across a Lord Fallon.

He and his wife are patrons
of a charity

that help retired sailors
from the Royal Navy.

Turns out

Lord Fallon has a link
on his mother's side

to Admiral Horatio Nelson.

Fallon is Nelson's
cousin?

Which gives him motive
and opportunity

to claim back
a treasured family heirloom.

Hmm.

We should pay him a visit.

We should.

I do remember the inspector.

I thought you might.

So, how can I help you?

What's your business
with Baroness Weichmann?

I've never heard of her.

I saw you meet her
at her stables.

Oh.

She's requested your help

to sell a stolen artifact,
perhaps.

I can assure you,

I trade only
in legitimate goods,

sold with full provenance.

Well, that's curious,

since Inspector Wellington
was quite sure that you did

indeed trade in stolen goods.

Perhaps I should go
and fetch him after all,

to clear this muddle up.

Well, the, the baroness has
offered no stolen goods.

(chuckles):
But I do pay her
a small commission

to bring me
wealthy ladies looking

to sell their possessions--
discreetly.

Often without the knowledge
of their husbands.

And has the baroness
earned her commission

and provided you
with any clients?

I've got a meeting with one
of them today at noon.

Who might this lucky lady be?

Her name's Fallon.

Lady Emily Fallon.

ELIZA:
He assured me he'd come to the
office immediately

after his meeting
with Lady Fallon

and confirm what it was
she wishes to sell.

Do you trust him?

Not remotely.
Nevertheless,

it's the best lead
we have.

Agreed.

Can you stop agreeing
with me?

It's most disconcerting.

Good afternoon.

MAISIE:
Myself and Emily-- Lady Fallon--

we met through the
Mayfair ladies' society

and found we were both as
unhappily married as each other.

Funny, innit?

My husband wants to be accepted
by the likes of Lord Fallon.

A man who beats his wife
when he's had one too many.

ELIZA:
You needed money to fund
a divorce,

so you stole
the diamond feather.

It was me who stole it.

I wanted to help Emily, but
I also wanted to punish Jack.

I never even wanted
to move to London.

I was happy where we were.

Where we both grew up.

We belonged.

And all I've had since
I've come

to this city
is rejection and contempt.

(voice breaking):
And Emily's the only one who's
ever shown me any kindness.

After the party, my husband had
had too much to drink,

and when Maisie saw my bruises,
she was upset.

She was meant
to give me the jewel,

but instead, she put it
in my husband's desk

and sent you the note.

I hoped you would
tell Jack

and he would deal with Fallon
once and for all.

With any luck,

Emily wouldn't have to suffer
the humiliation of a divorce

and instead she would
be a widow.

LADY FALLON:
My husband is,
oh, he is many things.

But I did not want his death
on my conscience.

So you stole it back
from the desk.

If you tell Jack
any of this...

Well, God knows
what he'll do to me.

To both of us.

NASH:
What do we tell Carter?

We can't tell him the truth,
that's for sure.

But if we don't hand them over,
Carter will come after us.

And I know it's selfish
of me,

but I'd very much like
to carry on living.

What is it?

Carter's a wealthy man.

He could live anywhere
in the country,

and yet he chose to move
to London,

to join gentlemen's clubs
and mix with lords and ladies.

Why would he do that?

Why are we discussing
this now, exactly?

The answer is because
he wants to belong.

Is this you formulating
a plan?

If so, I do hope my survival
is factored into it.

(exhales)

I never doubted you
for a minute.

Now tell me.

Who took it?

Neither myself
nor Miss Scarlet

will be giving you
that information.

We've returned what is stolen,

I will ask once more.

And it will be the last time
I do so politely.
