Ah, Miss Scarlet. Good afternoon.

Oh, Mr. Potts, tomorrow I embark on a...
8
00:00:40,727 --> 00:00:41,925
a case with Inspector Wellington
9
00:00:41,942 --> 00:00:43,423

background information
10

11
00:00:44,871 --> 00:00:46,796
There is such a thing as
a protocol, Miss Scarlet,
12
00:00:46,817 --> 00:00:48,909

convey any information

of the perpetrator.

The sooner I have this information,
17
00:00:55,579 --> 00:00:57,006
the sooner he will be behind bars.
18

important than protocol?

Poor Theobald clearly struggled to
the front of the shop to get help.

and there are some brass
handles missing from the coffins,
66
00:03:45,225 --> 00:03:46,915
which all points to a robbery. But...
67
00:03:47,685 --> 00:03:50,553
it's strange that an undertaker
would be the target of such a crime,
68

Well, thank for your

to that conclusion ourselves,

wouldn't you agree, Detective Black?
