00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:02 I'm running this London office now,
00:04 and I can assure you things will pick up.
00:05 I happen to know that Mr. Nash's entire staff
00:11 have deserted you.
00:12 Sometimes I do wonder--
00:14 If it's all worth it.
00:15 This expansion is crippling us.
00:16 Someone is going to get hurt.
00:18 It's Inspector Wellington.
00:20 He's been shot.
00:21 William.
00:22 Ah, I need a drink.
00:23 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:26 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:30 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:33 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:37 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:43 Are you warm enough?
00:57 It can get a bit chilly in here.
00:59 Yes, I'm perfectly comfortable.
01:00 Thank you.
01:01 I'll go set the fire.
01:01 Ivy, will you please stop fussing?
01:03 I'm not fussing.
01:04 I'll go do you some bacon, eggs, and fry bread.
01:07 How does that sound?
01:08 I think I'm going to get extremely fat.
01:09 We need to build up your strength.
01:11 Yes.
01:12 Ivy, you have been saying that every day for the past two
01:13 weeks.
01:14 I'm quite well now, thank you.
01:16 Well, I have to go home.
01:18 I can't seem to find my bag, or my notebook, or my gloves.
01:21 Your gloves were in the dining room.
01:23 Your notebook by the kitchen sink,
01:24 in your bag on the stairs, which I nearly broke
01:26 my neck on this morning.
01:27 I've just come downstairs.
01:28 I didn't see it.
01:29 Because I put them on the table with the rest of your things
01:31 where you should have left them last night.
01:34 Oh.
01:36 Well, thank you.
01:37 How is the patient this morning?
01:43 He says he's going home.
01:45 Ignore him, Ivy.
01:45 I find that's the best way to deal with him.
01:48 You were told to rest, William.
01:49 And there's no one better to look after you than Ivy.
01:51 Yes, well, I can't just sit here all day.
01:52 No, you can come to the kitchen and have breakfast.
01:57 Just one rasha, please, Ivy.
01:59 [LAUGHS]
02:00 [KNOCKING]
02:01 God.
02:03 If I'd known what a polynose you were,
02:05 I wouldn't have agreed to convalesce you.
02:06 I know what a demanding patient you are.
02:08 I wouldn't have let you.
02:08 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:11 Well, unlike you, I can't laze around like a lord of leisure.
02:20 My office won't run itself.
02:21 Yes, I can imagine how busy running a staff of one must be.
02:25 I can assure you, William, that it will not be long
02:27 before my office is once again teaming with employees.
02:30 Things are looking up at Nash & Sons.
02:32 No, they have any sons.
02:32 Promise me you'll rest and do as Ivy says.
02:38 Do I have a choice?
02:38 No.
02:43 [SIGHS]
02:44 [KNOCKING]
02:45 Oh, god, that hurts.
02:47 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:50 Morning, Clarence.
02:57 And a very good morning to you, too, Miss Scarlet.
03:00 You're rather jiffy.
03:02 Feeling quite well?
03:03 Never better.
03:04 I arrived this morning to be greeted
03:05 by a most pleasant surprise.
03:07 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:10 Bonjour, Eliza.
03:12 What the hell have you done?
03:25 I leave your business that is thriving
03:27 and come back to find it barely surviving.
03:29 It's not my fault your men refuse to work for a woman.
03:31 Oh, from what I hear, your manner towards them,
03:32 they have much to be desired.
03:34 I was trying to run a tighter ship.
03:35 Well, congratulations, Eliza, because you've sunk it.
03:38 There were always going to be some teething problems.
03:40 You have no staff.
03:42 No clients.
03:43 I would suggest that's a little more than teething problems.
03:46 Things are starting to move in the right direction.
03:48 I have several potential clients.
03:49 There's really no need for you to be here.
03:51 It is my name above the door and my reputation
03:53 that is being damaged.
03:54 So I'm staying in London until the ship is back on course.
03:58 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:02 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:05 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:09 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:13 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:16 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:28 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:37 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:41 I assume this is your doing.
04:51 I did not ask Mr. Nash to return.
04:53 I merely provided him with progress reports
04:55 whenever he requested them.
04:56 And you didn't think to tell me you were doing that?
04:58 He is my superior, Miss Sculpt.
04:59 And I did tell him that things were picking up.
05:02 I admire your optimism, Clarence.
05:04 But I fear we have different definitions
05:06 of what constitutes picking up.
05:09 Where are you going?
05:11 I'm going to the fat goose.
05:13 Patronized by the Metropolitan Police,
05:15 half the journalists of Fleet Street,
05:16 and the lawyers of the Royal Courts of Justice.
05:18 When I've oiled my fellow punters
05:19 with copious amounts of whiskey, I shall no doubt be
05:21 in possession of some new cases.
05:24 If you'd done me the courtesy of actually listening
05:26 to what I had to say, you'd know that I have a meeting
05:29 with a client this very hour, a client
05:31 with money and influence.
05:34 I'll be the judge of that.
05:35 Thank you.
05:36 Come along.
05:37 You have a beautiful home, Mr. Carter.
05:56 All down to my amazing.
05:58 I'm just the one who paid for it.
06:00 We moved in just over a year ago.
06:03 It was hard work, but we finally got things how we like them.
06:06 And where were you living before?
06:09 Leeds.
06:10 Moved down to London to set up a new factory.
06:12 I'm in the textile business.
06:13 It's good indeed to hear such a success story.
06:16 Around here.
06:17 Doesn't seem to matter what money you've got.
06:19 It's all about your breeding.
06:21 The aristocracy do not like new money.
06:24 I don't care what the toughs are like with me.
06:26 Just as long as their wives treat my amazing right.
06:29 And they do.
06:31 They've been very accommodating.
06:35 Now that is a way of saying they're
06:37 a bunch of stuck up snobs.
06:38 Judge.
06:39 Will you be wanting tea, sir?
06:46 Perhaps later.
06:47 Thank you, Stefan.
06:48 What is it we can help you with, Mr. Carter?
06:50 Tuesday evening, we hosted a charity fundraiser
06:58 for the committee Maisie belongs to.
07:00 The Ladies of the Mayfair Benevolent Society.
07:03 And it was a roaring success too.
07:05 Almost 100 souls turned up.
07:08 Two hours in, we were robbed.
07:09 What was in it?
07:14 Nelson's diamond feather, given to the admiral
07:17 by the Sultan of Turkey after the Battle of the Nile.
07:20 How did it come into your possession?
07:21 Bought it at auction.
07:23 Spent a fortune, too.
07:25 Nelson's always been a hero of mine.
07:27 Didn't come from money.
07:29 Look what he made of himself.
07:31 Our butler, Stafford, noticed it was missing at half past 10.
07:34 I was so shocked, I burst into tears
07:37 in front of the whole party.
07:38 Made such a fool of myself.
07:40 No, you didn't.
07:42 Besides, who cares what they think?
07:44 As well as a guest list, we'll need the names of your staff
07:47 for a working that night.
07:49 I've spoken to my household.
07:50 Went to any of them.
07:52 It was one of the guests.
07:53 I just know it.
07:54 Gonna teach me a lesson, no doubt.
07:56 There ain't a better myself.
07:57 And have you informed the police?
07:59 What, and have our London society questioned?
08:02 They'd resent us even more than they do already.
08:04 There were 100 guests.
08:06 Only one of them was a thief.
08:08 I want you to find who stole from me, discreetly.
08:13 And when you do, I'll pay you handsomely.
08:15 Double your fee.
08:16 [MUSIC PLAYING]
08:19 [HORSE GALLOPING]
08:27 Is there anything you wish to say?
08:29 That was promising.
08:31 Apology accepted.
08:32 It's not an apology.
08:33 [MUSIC PLAYING]
08:36 [HORSE GALLOPING]
08:38 [APPLAUSE]
08:41 You apologized?
08:44 Well, not in so many words.
08:45 Not in any words.
08:46 I merely said it was a promising start.
08:48 Double the normal fee.
08:49 I say that's more than promising.
08:51 It may have turned out they arranged the theft themselves
08:53 to claim an insurance payout.
08:54 If it was insurance fraud, they'd have to report
08:56 the theft to the police.
08:57 Besides, they don't seem to be short of money,
08:59 so I think a simple well done Eliza might be in order.
09:01 I'll save that until the office is full again.
09:03 Your men decided to leave.
09:04 I did not make them.
09:06 That's not what they said in their correspondence.
09:09 They've been writing to you.
09:10 Well, I had hoped the situation would rectify itself,
09:13 which is why I didn't come back sooner.
09:14 But in the end, I had no choice.
09:17 Should we concentrate on the case?
09:20 I shall make some inquiries into the Carter's household staff.
09:23 And I don't care what Mr. Carter says.
09:24 It's more likely to be a maid with sticky fingers
09:26 than some lord of the grudge.
09:28 I'll go through the guest list for the party.
09:30 I have a copy of Percival's peerage and nobility at home.
09:33 Anyone who's anyone in high society will be listed in it.
09:36 May give us an idea of who we're dealing with.
09:38 And I shall drop a contract for the Carter investigation.
09:40 Do you wish to see it before I send it over?
09:42 Yes.
09:43 Bring it to me when you're done.
09:52 I'm not here to make your life difficult.
09:55 I'm here to help.
09:58 How long do you intend to stay?
10:01 As long as it takes.
10:02 [MUSIC PLAYING]
10:05 I didn't hear you come in.
10:26 That's because you were asleep and snoring.
10:31 I don't snore.
10:34 Ivy will be back soon, but I can make you something
10:36 to eat if you'd like.
10:38 Can we please forgo the teasing about my cooking?
10:40 It's not teasing.
10:41 You nearly killed me with some eggs once.
10:42 Well, you can't go wrong with bread and jam.
10:49 And no, I did not make either.
10:52 Thank you.
10:52 So how was your day?
10:59 For the most part, horrible.
11:02 You'll never believe who's back in London.
11:04 Patrick Nash?
11:05 How do you know that?
11:06 Fitzroy.
11:07 He told me during his daily visit.
11:11 I think that it's nice he comes to see you each day.
11:14 You'll miss the attention when you're back at work.
11:16 I'm in no rush to go back.
11:19 I'm serious.
11:21 Our place is falling apart.
11:24 To be honest, I've considered not going back at all.
11:29 That job is everything to you?
11:30 Not everything.
11:33 You know, this has made me realize that there are
11:36 other things in life to consider.
11:40 Such as?
11:42 The future.
11:44 Your future's at Scotland Yard.
11:45 I don't think that's ever been in question.
11:46 I'm not talking about work.
11:56 The first time we met was in this kitchen.
11:58 It was.
12:04 I remember watching you eat-- what was it?
12:07 Pork pie?
12:08 Small town.
12:10 I can still remember the look of horror on your face.
12:13 It wasn't horror.
12:14 It was fascination.
12:15 I'd never seen anyone eat like that.
12:17 I still haven't.
12:24 That woman, she tried the patience of a saint.
12:28 Your mother.
12:28 Who else?
12:29 Don't ask me about her gout.
12:31 I don't intend to.
12:33 I'm sure William would like to hear all about it.
12:35 Well, I have work to do.
12:38 It's gone from her right foot to her left foot.
12:41 Red, itchy skin all over her big toe.
12:43 Poor thing.
12:44 [MUSIC PLAYING]
12:48 Morning.
13:04 I'm with good news.
13:06 I went through the list of guests
13:07 who attended the Carter's party, many of whom
13:10 were in the Peerage listings and Percival's.
13:12 And I believe I found something of interest
13:14 about one of the guests.
13:17 What kind of background checks did you do on Jack Carter?
13:20 Oh, the usual name, address, occupation.
13:24 You didn't think to look into where his money came from?
13:26 Textiles, as he said.
13:27 He owns a number of factories.
13:29 Which he bought with the profits from his original business.
13:34 Will you please just tell me what's happened?
13:37 I went to see Carter's servants.
13:39 All were terrified by the mere suggestion
13:41 they would have stolen from him, but none would say why.
13:44 So I did some digging.
13:47 It seems Mr. Carter is from the most notorious crime family
13:51 in the north of England.
13:52 Murder, extortion, gun running.
13:55 All of which you would have known
13:57 had you done your due diligence, which of course you couldn't
13:59 because you've lost my entire staff.
14:01 They'd have researched this Carter thug properly
14:03 and told you to keep well clear.
14:05 Last night I sent a telegram to Mr. Carter
14:06 saying we were unable to take his case
14:08 due to prior commitments.
14:09 Mr. Nash.
14:10 Just a moment this morning, you and I will sit down
14:12 and make a new plan of action.
14:14 And then once we're through with that--
14:15 Mr. Nash.
14:17 Apologies for the interruption.
14:18 I do hope you are not busy.
14:20 I received your telegram.
14:22 Caused me some confusion, so I thought it best
14:24 to come and talk to you in person.
14:25 Mr. Carter, if I--
14:26 No need to explain.
14:28 I can guess what's happened.
14:31 Just allow me to say my piece.
14:39 My wife and I were the victims of theft.
14:43 There was a time when I would have dealt with this myself.
14:46 But I promised her that we will deal with this in a manner
14:48 that is calm and civilized, just as any gentleman might do.
14:54 I'm sure there are many other investigation agencies that
14:57 would gladly take your case.
14:58 Where I come from, once you give your word,
15:00 you don't go back on it.
15:02 So for the avoidance of doubt, you will take this case.
15:06 And you will find my jewel.
15:08 If we cannot?
15:10 Then I will hold you personally responsible.
15:12 Oh, and you'll do it for free.
15:20 As compensation for the insult to my character.
15:33 [SIREN]
15:35 Not a word.
15:38 We need to find that thief.
15:46 And what will Mr. Carter do once you find him?
15:49 That had not yet occurred to me, Clarence.
15:51 But thank you for making a dire situation
15:53 even more unsatisfactory.
15:55 We are where we are.
16:02 So let's just do our best and try and solve the case.
16:05 Agreed?
16:06 You mentioned you'd found something of interest.
16:11 Indeed I did.
16:13 The diamond feather was put up for auction last year
16:15 by Admiral Nelson's family.
16:17 From what I gather, they did so somewhat reluctantly
16:19 due to falling on hard times.
16:21 They've been forced to sell many of the family's
16:23 prized possessions.
16:24 Precisely.
16:26 As I was going through the list of guests
16:27 who attended the Carter's party, I came across a Lord Fallon.
16:31 He and his wife were patrons of a charity that helped retired
16:34 sailors from the Royal Navy.
16:36 Turns out Lord Fallon has a link on his mother's side
16:42 to Admiral Horatio Nelson.
16:44 Fallon is Nelson's cousin.
16:47 Which gives him motive and opportunity to claim
16:49 back a treasured family heirloom.
16:53 We should pay him a visit.
16:55 We should.
16:57 But we need a cover story.
16:59 [CHATTER]
17:01 My wife and I have always been patrons of the arts.
17:04 It was her idea that we come to take tea with you,
17:06 Lord and Lady Fallon, and that we might learn more
17:08 of your own charitable works.
17:11 It is always a pleasure to welcome new benefactors.
17:14 Thank you for considering us.
17:15 She is such a selfless person.
17:18 She's always thinking of others.
17:19 Do not listen to my dear husband.
17:20 It is he who thinks of all but himself.
17:23 Never was there a kinder, more honorable man.
17:26 [BELL RINGING]
17:28 You are newly arrived in London?
17:31 I do not believe our paths have crossed before.
17:34 We haven't until recently been in the West Indies,
17:36 where we have some business interests.
17:38 But we have, I believe, some mutual acquaintances.
17:41 Mr. and Mrs. Carter.
17:42 They are friends of yours?
17:44 Business acquaintances.
17:45 I hear that Carter's charity ball was a roaring success,
17:49 although ended in somewhat sad circumstances.
17:52 The theft.
17:53 It was a shame, indeed.
17:55 Poor Mrs. Carter had to put much work into the event.
17:57 And for it to end in such a way--
18:01 She made a damn fool of herself.
18:02 Dearest.
18:03 What?
18:04 She did.
18:05 That husband of hers is no better.
18:07 Uncouth, the pair of them.
18:10 Perhaps this is not the time nor the place--
18:12 Do not presume to tell me what I can and cannot
18:14 say in my own home, madam.
18:24 Perhaps we might return to this donation you mentioned.
18:29 Your charity is, I believe, in support of the elderly
18:32 and infirm sailors of the Royal Navy.
18:35 That is correct.
18:37 It is apt, given your connection to the greatest
18:38 hero this country's ever seen, Admiral Horatio Nelson.
18:43 Goodness.
18:44 Well, in that case, the theft of the Admiral's diamond feather
18:46 must have dismayed you more than most, given that it's
18:49 practically a family heirloom.
18:50 Hardly call a distant cousin family.
18:53 And as for the theft, I know exactly who stole it.
18:57 Who?
18:58 [LAUGHTER]
19:00 We do love a little gossip now and then.
19:02 Baroness Vysham, dreadful woman.
19:06 Always scratching around for handouts.
19:09 I heard she was trying to pay for her passage back to Prussia.
19:13 Riddled with debts, that one.
19:15 This Prussian baroness is worth a visit.
19:20 Fallon clearly loathes a woman.
19:22 Strikes me as someone who likes very few,
19:24 including his own wife.
19:26 You see the bruises on her neck.
19:28 With him, no doubt.
19:29 Why are you looking at me like that?
19:47 We didn't want to disturb you, sir.
19:49 You look so peaceful, like a little boy.
19:54 I don't need your help, thank you.
19:56 Yes, sir. Sorry, sir.
19:57 He's always like this when he first wakes up.
20:01 I'll go and fetch some tea and cake.
20:03 No cake, Ivy.
20:05 Nonsense.
20:05 If I don't get out of here soon, I'm going to run into fat.
20:14 Well, whatever Ivy is feeding you, it's doing you good.
20:16 Each day you look a little better.
20:18 Yes, on that, Oliver.
20:20 You don't have to visit me every day.
20:22 I look forward to it, sir.
20:24 Unless you'd prefer I didn't.
20:27 Of course not.
20:28 So, important day.
20:34 Yes, sir.
20:36 The American embassy awaits.
20:38 I want this secondment more than anything.
20:41 It's quite the opportunity.
20:43 New York.
20:44 Imagine that.
20:46 And an ocean between you and your father has its benefits, no doubt.
20:50 Never occurred to me.
20:51 I have to make a speech to the ambassador's staff.
20:58 I hope to share it with you.
21:00 My advice is don't bore them.
21:01 Make it short and to the point.
21:04 My thoughts exactly, sir.
21:15 We could not believe it when we heard you were looking to sell
21:16 your splendid estate, Baroness, since my wife and I
21:19 get to buy in this area.
21:21 Yes, how did you hear of it?
21:23 O'Neill Fallon mentioned it in passing.
21:26 I'm a keen horsewoman, and it's so very rare to find such a grand
21:30 house in the middle of London with staples to boot.
21:34 Well, it was not my intention to let things
21:36 fall into such disrepair.
21:37 Expensive to upkeep, too, I'd imagine.
21:40 How much exactly were you looking to offer?
21:42 Oh, finances my husband's department, Baroness.
21:46 I rarely understand it and find it quite tiresome.
21:48 And said very much the same to my great friend, Mrs. Maisie
21:52 Carter, just the other day.
21:54 Oh, you know the Carters.
21:56 I say friend.
21:58 Given the chasm between our social standings,
22:00 she is perhaps more of an acquaintance.
22:02 But my heart does go out to her.
22:03 Did you hear about the theft of their diamond feather?
22:07 Madam, you have a visitor.
22:09 [MUSIC PLAYING]
22:12 I do apologize, but I must see to my guest.
22:20 Let us carry this negotiation on some other time.
22:23 My maid will let you know when I'm next available.
22:26 Good day.
22:28 Baroness?
22:30 Patrick.
22:32 Do you know him?
22:33 He's a dealer.
22:37 In what?
22:39 Stolen art and jewelry.
22:41 Clarence, I need information on a second rate art dealer,
22:51 a Mr. Gibson.
22:53 I think you ought to see this first.
22:54 Who sent this?
23:02 I don't know.
23:03 There's no name or signature.
23:04 Must have been posted when I went out to buy my lunch.
23:06 The diamond feather you seek can be found
23:08 in Lord Fallon's writing desk.
23:10 I was in the middle of my speech,
23:15 just getting into my stride, and they told me to stop.
23:18 Whiskey, Harvey.
23:21 I tried to put my case forward, but they
23:22 dismissed me out of hand.
23:26 It was a golden opportunity.
23:28 In New York, I could have been anyone I wanted to be.
23:31 No one there knows me or who my father is.
23:36 Could have been a fresh start.
23:37 Did they give a reason?
23:40 Lack of experience, apparently.
23:42 Sounds like they're hoping for someone
23:44 with more years of service, such as yourself, sir.
23:47 You trying to get rid of me as a detective?
23:50 Of course not, sir.
23:51 You can always apply again next year.
23:57 Just be patient.
23:59 You're right, sir.
24:01 You're always right.
24:02 [COUGHING]
24:06 I'd best get back.
24:08 The files keep rolling in, and I don't want Phelps
24:11 to accuse me of shirking.
24:13 Thank you, Miss Woods.
24:14 Pleasure, Detective.
24:16 Oliver.
24:17 You're a good copper.
24:21 Don't forget that.
24:22 Thank you, sir.
24:29 That boy thinks the world of you.
24:32 You make a good father.
24:34 Would you like family of your own one day?
24:36 Can I speak my mind?
24:43 Well, I need another whiskey.
24:44 Mm-hmm.
24:45 Given what you've just been through,
24:58 I'm sure you don't need me to tell you this,
25:00 but life is short.
25:02 Don't waste it.
25:05 I don't know what happened between you and Arabella,
25:09 but I can take a good guess at the reason why it ended.
25:11 So don't you think it's about time you told her?
25:18 Told who?
25:23 [FOOTSTEPS]
25:26 [MUSIC PLAYING]
25:29 I bribed one of the maids as she was leaving.
25:35 Housekeeper is the night off, and the family's
25:37 due to go to the theater.
25:38 So once they've left, the house will be empty.
25:40 Can't be this easy, can it?
25:46 A note just miraculously tells us where
25:48 the diamond feather is hidden.
25:49 Well, we have to at least investigate.
25:52 Besides, Lord Fallon struck us as a man with plenty of enemies.
25:57 Speaking of notes, what did your men
26:00 say about me in their letters?
26:03 I think it's best just to leave that be.
26:04 And for the record, it was not your fault.
26:10 Thank you, Patrick.
26:11 It was mine.
26:12 I shouldn't have left you in charge.
26:14 What?
26:14 [FOOTSTEPS]
26:17 Up.
26:20 [MUSIC PLAYING]
26:23 What do you mean you should never have left me in charge?
26:38 This is not the time.
26:41 Let's find the stairs.
26:43 See if the note was right.
26:44 Your men resigned because they didn't
26:46 want to work for a woman.
26:48 I didn't dismiss a single one of them.
26:49 Apart from Matthews?
26:50 He was taking three hours for lunch.
26:52 And Simpson?
26:53 I didn't care for his manner.
26:54 But aside from those two, I bear no responsibility.
26:56 And Peters?
26:57 Fine.
26:59 I did dismiss some of them, and I don't regret it.
27:01 Good, because they told me they would have left anyway.
27:03 What?
27:04 Well, don't shoot the messenger.
27:07 Someone's coming.
27:08 This way.
27:09 [MUSIC PLAYING]
27:13 [FOOTSTEPS]
27:17 Shall I have a look?
27:23 See who it is?
27:24 Do what you want.
27:25 You always do anyway.
27:26 This is no time to sulk.
27:27 I'm not sulking.
27:28 [MUSIC PLAYING]
27:32 [FOOTSTEPS]
28:00 Well, if the diamond feather was in Fallon's desk,
28:06 someone else has it now.
28:07 So did you come home last night?
28:25 It wasn't where you were my father.
28:28 I had-- I had hope to speak to you, that's all.
28:32 About what?
28:33 If this is about you going home, you're not well enough yet.
28:36 No, it's not that.
28:37 I know what it is.
28:38 No, you don't.
28:39 But if you would just listen for a moment.
28:40 It's Detective Fitzroy, isn't it?
28:41 He's told you who my client is.
28:42 I do not need you lecturing me about my safety with him.
28:45 Eliza, will you please, for once,
28:46 just listen to what I have to say?
28:47 [SIGHS]
28:49 [SIGHS]
28:51 Who are you?
28:52 Who's your client?
28:53 Are you in danger?
28:54 [MUSIC PLAYING]
28:58 Now's not the time, Malim.
29:00 I really must be getting to work.
29:01 Lord Fallon did steal the diamond feather.
29:14 Who stole it from him?
29:17 We still need to find out who sent the anonymous letter.
29:19 Agreed.
29:22 How curious.
29:23 We're halfway through the morning.
29:24 There's yet to be a crossword between us.
29:27 Still early, Patrick.
29:30 I have a list of dealers who trade in stolen luxury goods,
29:33 but I'm yet to find anything on a Mr. Gibson.
29:35 Leave it with me.
29:37 I have an idea where we might find him.
29:38 It's to Gibson, isn't it?
29:53 Who wants to know?
29:55 I'm a colleague of Inspector Wellington.
29:57 I believe you once assisted him on a case.
30:00 I've never heard of him.
30:02 Oh, really?
30:03 I must be mistaken.
30:05 Perhaps I should go and fetch him.
30:08 Now I come to think of it, I do remember the inspector.
30:12 I thought you might.
30:15 So how can I help you?
30:17 What's your business with Baroness Weichmann?
30:21 I've never heard of her.
30:23 I saw you meet her at her stables.
30:27 Oh.
30:28 She's requested your help to sell a stolen artifact, perhaps.
30:32 I can assure you, I trade only in legitimate goods
30:35 sold with full provenance.
30:38 Well, it's curious, since Inspector Wellington was quite
30:40 sure that you did indeed trade in stolen goods.
30:43 Perhaps I should go and fetch him after all
30:47 to clear this muddle up.
30:48 Well, the Baroness has offered no stolen goods.
30:51 But I do pay her a small commission
30:53 to bring me wealthy ladies looking
30:54 to sell their possessions, discreetly,
30:58 often without the knowledge of their husbands.
31:00 And has the Baroness earned her commission
31:01 and provided you with any clients?
31:04 I've got a meeting with one of them today at noon.
31:07 Who might this lucky lady be?
31:09 Her name's Fallon.
31:12 Lady Emily Fallon.
31:13 He assured me he'd come to the office
31:19 immediately after his meeting with Lady Fallon
31:21 and confirm what it was she wished to sell.
31:23 Do you trust him?
31:24 Not remotely.
31:25 Nevertheless, it's the best lead we have.
31:28 Agreed.
31:28 Can you stop agreeing with me?
31:30 It's most disconcerting.
31:33 Good afternoon.
31:36 It's Mr. Stafford, isn't it?
31:50 We have visitors.
31:51 Yes, thank you, Clarence.
31:53 Nice to see you again, Miss Scarlet.
31:55 Mr. Match?
31:56 So sorry to turn up without an appointment.
31:59 We were just on our way to luncheon around the corner.
32:02 Jack's taking me to Gilbert's.
32:04 And as we were passing, I thought, why not drop in
32:06 and get an update on the case?
32:08 Please be assured it has our full attention.
32:10 And as soon as we have any developments,
32:11 you'll be the first to know.
32:12 Stafford.
32:18 Dick, Miss Scarlet took care of you.
32:20 So nice to see you again.
32:24 Miss Scarlet.
32:25 Word has got back to my family that someone has stolen from me.
32:45 My brothers are dining out on how funny that is.
32:47 And I don't like to be laughed at, Mr. Nash.
32:49 Yes, I can see that.
32:52 So you're going to tell me everything
32:54 you've found out so far?
32:55 We're still following up on different lines of inquiry.
32:58 I want names and addresses.
33:01 And I--
33:02 Jack, going to be late?
33:03 Just coming, maddalen.
33:05 You've got one more day.
33:16 [MUSIC PLAYING]
33:19 I'm going to the market.
33:42 I'll pick you up some nice pork chops for your dinner.
33:46 Ivy, do you have any writing paper?
33:50 Top drawer, right-hand side.
33:56 You'll find a pen in there, too.
33:57 [MUSIC PLAYING]
34:07, Wow.
34:24 [MUSIC PLAYING]
34:28 Convey my-- convey.
34:37 [MUSIC PLAYING]
34:54 Oh, for God's sake.

35:11 [MUSIC PLAYING]
35:16 [MUSIC PLAYING]
35:20 [MUSIC PLAYING]
35:23 [MUSIC PLAYING]
35:27 Our only lead is this crooked art dealer.
35:52 If he's let us down, tomorrow we'll face Carter empty-handed.
35:56 His meeting with Lady Fallon was at noon.
35:57 He should have been here by now.
35:59 Please stop pacing.
36:00 You're making me nervous.
36:01 Good.
36:01 I don't see why I should suffer alone.
36:03 [KNOCKING]
36:04 I brought some lunch.
36:05 Not now, Clarence.
36:06 Scarlett and I are waiting for this Gibson fellow.
36:08 Even though there's a strong possibility, he will not show.
36:10 If he doesn't, it's not my fault.
36:11 All of this is your fault.
36:13 Does this Mr. Gibson wear spectacles?
36:15 Yes.
36:16 And possess an abundant head of hair?
36:19 Yes.
36:20 Does he have a somewhat pained expression, presumably
36:22 due to a nervous disposition?
36:24 Yes.
36:25 Yes.
36:26 He's outside.
36:27 You took your time.
36:36 You have news on Lady Fallon?
36:37 She's seeking to finance a divorce from her husband.
36:46 She's got rooms at the Brabham Motel.
36:48 Marlborough Suite.
36:49 Wants to meet there later.
36:50 Give me what she has to sell.
36:52 What exactly is it that she wants to sell?
36:55 Edward Nelson's diamond feather.
36:57 It's possible that Lord Fallon did steal the jewel
37:08 from Mr. Carter.
37:09 But then what?
37:12 Lady Fallon stole it from her own husband.
37:15 Perhaps.
37:16 But we still need to find out who sent the anonymous note.
37:19 [DOOR OPENS]
37:22 As requested, I checked at the Brabham.
37:24 The Marlborough Suite is indeed where Lady
37:25 Fallon regularly visits.
37:27 But the rooms are not paid for by her or her husband.
37:31 Who does pay for them?
37:33 Jack Carter.
37:35 So Lady Fallon and Carter are having an affair.
37:38 Does that make sense to you?
37:40 Very little surprises me anymore.
37:43 I need to take another look at Carter's file,
37:44 see if I can make any other connection to the Fallons.
37:46 [FOOTSTEPS]
37:50 Eliza.
37:58 What are you doing here?
37:59 You should be at home, resting.
38:01 Yes.
38:04 I wanted to speak to you.
38:07 Did attempt to this morning.
38:09 Sorry, you just make me nervous when you start to question me.
38:12 Thought it was about my current investigation.
38:14 No, it's about something else entirely.
38:16 Something I need to get off my chest.
38:21 But as a man ill at ease with getting things off his chest,
38:27 I thought the best thing might be to--
38:29 Who?
38:30 [KNOCKING]
38:32 Gibson's just sent a message.
38:33 He's meeting Lady Fallon at 4 o'clock.
38:37 What, less than 20 minutes?
38:38 Mr. Nash is heading down to camp.
38:39 [FOOTSTEPS]
38:42 Um--
38:45 This can wait, you go.
38:47 Well, given you're clearly feeling a little better,
38:51 perhaps dinner this evening?
38:53 I'll make a reservation at Gilbert's.
38:54 We'll talk then.
38:56 I'll be home by 8, I promise.

39:54 Well, I wish you luck.
39:57 And I say this out of friendship, not malice.

40:03 even her feelings for you.
40:05 Nothing will ever be enough for her, certainly
40:08 not the future you envisage.

40:57 [MUSIC PLAYING]
40:59 We know you have the diamond feather.
41:02 I have no idea what you're talking about.
41:04 You kept it hidden here.
41:05 [MUSIC PLAYING]
41:09 [FOOTSTEPS]
41:10 And this is where you plan to sell it.
41:12 No, don't.
41:13 [MUSIC PLAYING]
41:19 Myself and Emily, Lady Fallon, we met through the Mayfair Lady
41:23 Society and found we were both as unhappily
41:27 married as each other.
41:28 Funny, innit?
41:33 My husband wants to be accepted by the likes of Lord Fallon,
41:37 a man who beats his wife when he's had one too many.
41:42 You needed money to fund a divorce,
41:44 so you stole the diamond feather.
41:47 It was me who stole it.
41:50 I wanted to help Emily, but I also wanted to punish Jack.
41:54 I never even wanted to move to London.
41:57 I was happy where we were, where we both grew up.
42:01 We belonged.
42:03 And all I've had since I've come to this city
42:06 is rejection and contempt.
42:09 Emily's the only one who's ever shown me any kindness.
42:16 [MUSIC PLAYING]
42:20 After the party, my husband had had too much to drink.
42:25 And when Maisie saw my bruises, she was upset.
42:28 She was meant to give me the jewel.
42:36 But instead, she put it in my husband's desk
42:39 and sent you the note.
42:42 I hoped you would tell Jack and he would deal
42:44 with Fallon once and for all.
42:46 With any luck, Emily wouldn't have
42:48 to suffer the humiliation of a divorce.
42:50 And instead, she would be a widow.
42:56 My husband is-- well, he is many things.
43:00 But I did not want his death on my conscience.
43:05 So you stole it back from the desk?
43:06 If you tell Jack any of this, well,
43:14 God knows what he'll do to me, to both of us.
43:18 What do we tell Carter?
43:25 You can't tell him the truth, that's for sure.
43:27 If we don't hand him over, Carter will come after us.
43:29 I know it's selfish of me, but I'd very
43:31 much like to carry on living.
43:32 What is it?
43:38 Carter's a wealthy man.
43:41 He could live anywhere in the country,
43:43 and yet he chose to move to London
43:45 to join gentlemen's clubs and mix with lords and ladies.
43:47 Why would he do that?
43:49 Why are we discussing this now, exactly?
43:53 The answer is because he wants to belong.
43:57 Is this you formulating a plan?
43:58 If so, I do hope my survival is factored into it.
44:01 [MUSIC PLAYING]
44:04 I never doubted you for a minute.
44:20 Now tell me, who took it?
44:22 Neither myself nor Miss Scarlet will be
44:27 giving you that information.
44:29 You've returned what is stolen, which is an end to the matter.
44:34 I will ask once more, and it will be
44:44 the last time I do so politely.
44:45 We're more than aware of the threat you pose, Mr. Carter.
44:50 Making people disappear is a speciality of yours, I believe.
44:53 A publican in Leeds, a dock worker in Hull.
44:58 There are others, too.
44:59 It's all in here.
45:01 You can keep this.
45:02 We've made numerous copies of the same documents.
45:05 They're currently in a secret location
45:06 and will be released should any harm
45:08 come to myself or Mr. Nash.
45:09 You think the police don't know this already?
45:12 What's your rumor?
45:13 Any essay?
45:15 Is there any evidence they'd be in prison?
45:17 Well, it's not the police we send it to.
45:19 It's the guests who attended your party.
45:21 You chose to move to London to mix
45:26 amongst the great and the good.
45:28 Like your hero, Admiral Nelson, you
45:29 wish to rise to the very top of society.
45:33 But that will never happen if they know who you really are.
45:35 Rumor and hearsay have destroyed greater men
45:40 than you, Mr. Carter.
45:40 However, it's our wish that your reputation remain intact
45:50 and that none of those you wish to impress learn any of this.
45:52 We will, of course, be expecting our fee,
45:57 or rather double our fee, as agreed.
45:58 Splendid.
46:07 Well, then we should bid you good day.
46:08 Mr. Nash?
46:09 [CLEARS THROAT]
46:10 [FOOTSTEPS]
46:12 [MUSIC PLAYING]
46:14 [LAUGHTER]
46:25 Oh, I wish you'd been there, Clarence.
46:28 Carter didn't stand a chance.
46:30 To getting double our fee.
46:33 That is quite something, Miss Scarlet.
46:35 Well done.
46:37 Thank you, Clarence.
46:39 That may be the first compliment you've ever given me.
46:41 Oh, well, I shall endeavor not to make a habit of it.
46:46 If you'll excuse me, I'll go and add our latest
46:49 feed to the balance sheet.
46:50 [LAUGHTER]
46:52 Of all those who wrote to me about you,
47:01 Clarence was the most complimentary.
47:05 Well, as complimentary as he can ever be.
47:07 [CHUCKLES]
47:08 It's just a shame my men did it.
47:12 We're having a moment of harmony, Patrick.
47:13 Please do not ruin it.
47:14 I was going to say, it's just a shame my men
47:16 didn't see you as I do.
47:18 As an exceptional detective and a remarkable woman.
47:21 I should have stayed here until you'd settled in.
47:34 So I must take some responsibility for what
47:35 happened.
47:38 Perhaps there were times where I was a little
47:40 high-handed with your men.
47:47 Let's say we start again.
47:50 We'll hire new staff.
47:52 I'll fund it with the money from the Paris branch
47:53 and stay until things are running smoothly.
47:56 Then we'll make Nash and Sons great once more.
47:59 With your brains and my good looks, I mean, how can we fail?
48:04 Oh, no.
48:11 Sorry, Patrick, I must go.
48:12 [SIGHS]
48:15 [THUNDER]
48:19 William?
48:33 [SIGHS]
48:36 [FOOTSTEPS]
48:40 Where are you going?
49:01 You're not well enough to go home yet.
49:03 I'm not going home.
49:04 [THUNDER]
49:07 I've been to see the super, and he's agreed.
49:10 I'm going to New York, taking the secondment.
49:16 For a year?
49:19 For a year.
49:22 [SCOFFS]
49:24 This is because I was late for dinner.
49:27 No.
49:31 This is because I love you.
49:33 It's a rare occurrence that I cause you to be speechless.
49:41 Perhaps I should tell you that I love you more often.
49:43 Well, you-- you love me, and yet you're leaving.
49:49 Something has to change, Eliza.
49:57 Perhaps for you, perhaps for me.
50:02 This will give us the time to consider our options.
50:07 I don't understand.
50:08 Yes, you do.
50:11 If we are to be together, then I cannot remain at Scotland Yard
50:16 with you, a private detective, nor can I be around you
50:22 anymore without--
50:25 without being with you.
50:26 You have put me in an impossible situation.
50:36 So this is my fault?
