FunTranscript
00:00Chairman Charles MacDonald has been laid to rest.
00:08But his estate remains unsettled, and according to the papers, it is sizable.
00:12Yes, evidently putting toasters and washing machines in every home gives one money to
00:16burn.
00:17I wish I could warm my hands over that fire.
00:20You don't think working as a sketch artist will allow your entrance into a Rosedale mansion?
00:26Well, at least I have the starving and starving artist down pat.
00:30So, I have not finished it yet, but what do you think?
00:35Hmm, I think you shouldn't flash that around in public.
00:39But is it good?
00:40No, don't answer that.
00:41Oh, hello you two.
00:43Staying out of trouble?
00:44Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Crabtree.
00:45Oh, please, George and Effie.
00:47Effie and George.
00:50You know, I can't stop thinking about the fruit salad our hostess served this morning.
00:53That was quite something.
00:54You can say that again.
00:55There were foreign fruits I'd never seen before.
00:57Well, she managed to stuff the mangoes into the hollowed-out pineapples.
01:02She wouldn't have stuffed anything, George.
01:04It would have been her staff.
01:06Oh, Maria.
01:07Maria, cut the mangoes into small pieces, into dainty bites, please.
01:11My kiss is expected.
01:13I'd have been satisfied with a plum, or even an apple.
01:17An apple?
01:18Well, you would have been shown the door and forced to admit your humble beginnings.
01:22Although I suppose an anecdote about your colorful upbringing might have livened things up a bit.
01:27Those guests were so dull.
01:29Still, I hope we get asked back.
01:32Why?
01:33For the fruit salad.
01:34And the quiche, Lorraine.
01:35I could do with or without that quiche.
01:37And that hostess.
01:39She was all right.
01:40She was such a fake.
01:42She was born in Rainy River, Ontario, not Buckingham Palace, like she'd have you believe.
01:48Effie, look at that.
01:49What's that?
01:51Is that blood?
02:03They're bloody paw prints.
02:05George.
02:07Good Lord.
02:10That's Michael Hewitt.
02:13What on earth?
02:15I believe he's been mauled to death by his own dog.
02:19What?
02:42You knew Mr. Hewitt?
02:44A little.
02:45I saw him at law society events and the like.
02:48What can you tell me about him?
02:50Not much, I'm afraid.
02:52He was a good lawyer.
02:54Well connected.
02:55Right.
02:57Given that these are nearby, I'll assume that these were his latest cases.
03:02That would stand to reason.
03:04Could you assist me and have a quick look to them?
03:07Perhaps one of them will offer up motive for this.
03:11Let me see what I can find.
03:13Miss Hart.
03:14He was hard at work on a Saturday afternoon.
03:16Clearly he didn't work himself to death.
03:19Miss Hart, would you agree that he's been mauled to death?
03:23Mauled?
03:24There's evidence that a dog was present at the time of Mr. Hewitt's murder.
03:30We grant you that while these scratches are unusual, no dog killed him.
03:34How can you be sure of that?
03:36There's a single puncture to his jugular.
03:39He also appears to have suffered a blow to the head.
03:41Still, perhaps we should find the dog.
03:43It might shed some light on what happened.
03:45George.
03:46Sir, you remember a few years back, they used dogs to track Jack the Ripper.
03:52They're very clever.
03:53Yes, an experiment that resulted in one of the dogs attacking the police commissioner.
03:58Oh.
04:00Oh, what's this?
04:02Oh, what's this?
04:09I believe this will be a more useful avenue of investigation.
04:16Excuse me.
04:23What's going on?
04:24Who might you be?
04:25Miss Wilma Fruling.
04:27I own the salon next door.
04:28What happened here?
04:29I'm afraid the body of Mr. Hewitt was found earlier today.
04:34How awful!
04:36Um, did you happen to hear anything unusual this morning?
04:41Well, it was finally quiet around here for one thing.
04:44Is it generally noisy?
04:46Hewitt's dog has been barking non-stop all week.
04:49I was losing my mind.
04:52And what time did the noise and barking eventually end?
04:56Um, half past nine.
04:57Just as my washing set arrived.
05:00Thank you, Miss Fruling.
05:03Pardon me, sir.
05:04Toronto Constabulary.
05:05What's your business here?
05:06I'm a partner at this firm.
05:08Christopher Landale.
05:09Now I'd like to get into my office.
05:11I'm afraid that's not possible.
05:13And why not?
05:15Earlier this morning, my constable discovered the body of Mr. Hewitt.
05:19Michael's dead.
05:21I'm afraid so.
05:22We are now conducting a murder investigation.
05:24Was your partner working on anything that would put his life at risk?
05:28Not that I know of.
05:29Though I've been out of town at a conference for several days.
05:32What type of cases does your firm work on?
05:35Nothing dangerous, if that's what you're asking.
05:37Contract laws, wills, trusts.
05:39May I ask what exactly happened?
05:42Admittedly, at this point, we know very little.
05:44Save that Mr. Hewitt's dog was here at some point and has since escaped.
05:49Michael didn't have a dog.
05:50In fact, he hated dogs.
05:51He wouldn't have been caught dead with...
05:55Well, I suppose he was.
06:21What do you think you're doing?
06:23What business is that of yours?
06:25I'm a morality officer with the Toronto Constabulary.
06:28And?
06:29And you were creating a lewd image.
06:32I was trying to capture the male form.
06:34I don't give a wit.
06:36I'm issuing you a fine.
06:38You'll have to catch me first.
06:40Stop! Failure to pay the fine results in conviction!
06:51And you're sure a dog didn't do it?
06:53It's highly unlikely.
06:55It's been known to happen.
06:56I know from experience, dogs can be quite vicious if trained improperly.
07:01Miss Hart, what have you?
07:03The scratches on Mr. Hewitt's neck were made by something uniform.
07:06Like a dog's paw?
07:08Like a small rake.
07:10Punctured to the jugular, it was jagged and sharp.
07:13And what of the contusion to his forehead?
07:15Heavy impact by a blunt object.
07:17Heavy impact by a blunt object.
07:20What are you up to now?
07:22I'm conducting a pH test on this white powder that was found in Mr. Hewitt's office.
07:27And the test has confirmed my suspicions.
07:31It's talcum powder.
07:34Very good.
07:35Although I must confess, I was hoping for something a bit more impressive.
07:40Uh, Miss?
07:42What's going on in here?
07:44Trotto Constabulary, the office is closed.
07:47Where is Mr. Hewitt?
07:49I'm afraid Mr. Hewitt died unexpectedly just this morning.
07:53I can't believe this, I saw him less than a week ago.
07:56First Chairman MacDonald and now Mr. Hewitt.
07:59You knew Chairman MacDonald?
08:01I am, I was his bookkeeper.
08:04Mr. Hewitt was Chairman MacDonald's lawyer and executor.
08:09You wouldn't happen to be Miss Sandler, would you?
08:12No, I'm Miss Vosper, I'm simply here to pay Mr. Hewitt for his services.
08:17We can make sure that this makes it to his partner.
08:21This is terrible.
08:25Sorry for your loss.
08:28I'm sorry too.
08:30Sorry for your loss.
08:39So Hewitt was the executor to the estate of the richest man in Toronto.
08:44Now that MacDonald's dead, his fortune is in the wind.
08:49I'd best inform the detective.
09:00So Mr. Hewitt is the executor of Chairman MacDonald's estate.
09:06Have you found the will?
09:07If he's not come across it yet.
09:10Miss Fruehling, a word please?
09:12I'm with a client.
09:14And I am with the Toronto Constabulary.
09:20What can I do for you?
09:22Answer one simple question please.
09:24Do you use talcum powder in your salon?
09:27Why?
09:28Someone's found a spilt on Mr. Hewitt's floor.
09:30Oh.
09:33Well, he didn't get it from here.
09:35Very good.
09:37Sir, have a look at this.
09:39What is it, George?
09:41A Miss Sandler had an appointment here at 8 o'clock this morning.
09:45And that's pertinent because...
09:47I found a calling card with the name Sandler in Hewitt's office.
09:51Perhaps she's responsible for the spilt talcum.
09:54Let's bring her in.
09:57I'm so sorry, but this is so terribly unexpected.
10:01I didn't know him well yet, but I believe Mr. Hewitt and I were destined to become close.
10:08So you called on him? For what purpose?
10:10I met him last week by chance at the King Edward Hotel.
10:14I sensed an attraction.
10:16Ah. So you arranged a visit.
10:19I made an appointment at the salon next to his office and used it as an excuse to drop by afterwards.
10:26And was there a connection?
10:30He acted like he barely remembered me.
10:33I was embarrassed so I hurried out of there and in my haste I dropped my pocketbook and my talcum powder fell out and the dog made a beeline for it.
10:41Mr. Hewitt tried to stop him and hit his head on the desk.
10:44Oh. Oh.
10:48Anything else?
10:50Anything else?
10:52Yes. He apologized for being distracted, but he said he was about to have a very difficult conversation.
10:59Did he say with whom?
11:01No.
11:03Sir, Miss Hart's report said that the murder weapon was most likely an animal grooming tool.
11:08So I had to look through this Eaton's catalog and, well, have a look at a couple of these.
11:16Well, that certainly looks like it could have gotten the job done.
11:19I wouldn't want to be on the wrong end of that.
11:22Ah, Effie, what have you?
11:24Mr. Hewitt's correspondence with the late Chairman MacDonald. It mentions the dog.
11:29The dog? What does the dog matter?
11:31Well, it matters plenty. That dog is Toronto's newest millionaire.
11:37So, we know the dog that was in Mr. Hewitt's office belonged to Chairman MacDonald.
11:42Yes. Mr. Hewitt was minding him while he amended Mr. MacDonald's will, making the dog his sole heir.
11:49So, whoever took the dog killed Hewitt?
11:52Possibly, George. It baffles me that a man with all that money should have such little sense.
11:58Leaving a fortune to a dog.
12:00Inspector, dogs, unlike humans, reserve no judgment or malice. They're loyal to a fault.
12:07They do love unconditionally.
12:09No malice. I've read that if a man were to die at home, it would take his dog no less than 24 hours to start devouring the remains.
12:19And they typically start with the face.
12:21No.
12:22Indeed.
12:23Sir, what would you have me do?
12:25Find the dog.
12:27You think he can help?
12:29No, I don't think he can help.
12:30Charlie.
12:31I beg your pardon?
12:33The dog's name is Charlie.
12:35You're going to find the dog.
12:37Charlie.
12:38Charlie.
12:39Charlie.
12:40Charlie.
12:41Charlie.
12:42Charlie.
12:43Charlie.
12:44Charlie.
12:45Charlie.
12:46Charlie.
12:47Charlie.
12:48Charlie.
12:49Charlie.
12:50Charlie.
12:51Charlie.
12:52Charlie.
12:53After his owner.
12:55Charlie.
12:59How's the likeness, Miss Sandler?
13:01It's the spitting image of the dog in my dear Mr. Hewitt's office.
13:05You are a very talented artist.
13:07Thank you. And I'm so sorry for your loss.
13:11Mr. Hewitt and I weren't together, not officially, but I know we were fated to be.
13:18Well, we appreciate you coming by at such a difficult time. Constable.
13:23Thank you, Constable. Thank you.
13:29So what sort of mutt is this?
13:31The Havanese.
13:32From Cuba.
13:33They arrived on merchant ships and became elite lap dogs to the wealthy.
13:37So exclusive they couldn't be bought or sold, only given as gifts.
13:41Priceless puppies and millionaire dogs.
13:44It's ridiculous.
13:45Sir, if you don't mind me asking, what exactly is your problem with dogs?
13:49When I first arrived in San Francisco, a ferocious feral dog attacked me on the streets.
13:54I carry the scars with me to this day.
13:57May we see the scar?
13:59Of course.
14:09Sir, the attack must have been harrowing.
14:12It was.
14:13The Papillon is a breed not to be trifled with.
14:16Papillon? Those dogs are quite small. No more than ten pounds.
14:22It's not the size of the dog in the fight, Detective.
14:28Thank you, Miss Fleming. We'll make copies of this and get them up all over town.
14:34My pleasure.
14:36Well done.
14:37Not the gallery opening you'd imagine, but a showing on every post in our fair city.
14:43Good work, Detective.
14:45I tried to ticket her earlier, but she escaped.
14:48What did you arrest her for?
14:50Arrest her?
14:52Iona Berger, meet Olivia Leeming, sketch artist for Station House 4.
14:57Olivia is tasked with depicting suspects, missing persons, and in this case, a dog.
15:03I don't care if you've taken over as Chief Constable.
15:05You created a lewd drawing in public.
15:08A lewd drawing?
15:10The first ticket was for indecency. This one?
15:14For evading an officer.
15:19So, no sign of the will?
15:21Not so far.
15:24I was curious. Did any family members take issue to Chairman MacDonald's will being amended?
15:31MacDonald had only one living relative, a nephew, Howard. He believed he was next in line for the fortune.
15:38What did your partner think of the changes?
15:40I don't know. It's our job to fulfill our clients' requests, as long as they're legal, of course.
15:48And Howard MacDonald, what was his reaction?
15:53Let's just say I would have liked to have seen the look on his face when he found out who was getting the keys to his castle.
16:01We don't know each other very well yet, but I want you to know I do understand the challenges that go along with a position such as yours.
16:09I'm not so sure about that.
16:12In our business, each of us enforces the law in ways peculiar to our personality.
16:19My personality has nothing to do with how I perform my duties.
16:22For example, I tend to favor leniency for first-time offenders, like Miss Leeming.
16:30Not me.
16:35A pretzel?
16:36Ah, from your pocket. No, thank you.
16:40Did you really need to ticket Miss Leeming?
16:44Would you consider rescinding the tickets and issuing a warning instead? She is one of us now.
16:49I am an officer of the law, and I caught her creating an indecent picture. It is my job to find her.
16:55Well, is indecency somewhat a matter of personal taste?
16:58Is Michelangelo's David indecent because it represents the male anatomy?
17:04As I told Miss Leeming, if it is on the streets of Toronto, then yes, we must obey the law.
17:09And none of us, not even your friend, Mr. Angelo, is above it.
17:15Are you happy now?
17:16How could I be happy when you're still here?
17:19Rest assured, I will be back.
17:21Oh, I'm looking forward to that.
17:24Howard MacDonald.
17:25Yes, that's me.
17:26Detective William Murdoch, Toronto Constabulary. I'm investigating the murder of Mr. Michael Hewitt.
17:33I had nothing to do with that.
17:35He was in the process of amending your uncle's will to reflect his final wishes. Did you know that?
17:41A dog took ten million dollars from me. Yes, I knew about that.
17:46That dog is now missing. Did you know that?
17:48If you want to talk to anyone about that, you can talk to Miss Bowerman, the woman who just left.
17:53Why would I want to do that?
17:55She owns a dog breeding business up in Mono Mills. My uncle purchased that dog from her.
18:00If you ask me, she is behind all of this.
18:04Go on.
18:06She had repeated visits with Mr. Hewitt in the days before his death.
18:09And my uncle's staff tells me she's the one behind all of this.
18:12She had repeated visits with Mr. Hewitt in the days before his death.
18:16And my uncle's staff tells me she's now the dog's legal guardian.
18:22We need to make sure we also cover the ward.
18:25There's no end to violations of city bylaws.
18:28Here's where our philosophies diverge.
18:31In what way?
18:32Do you really believe it's always in the best interest of the citizenry to adhere to the letter of the law?
18:38Yes.
18:39But what about justice? After all, that's the spirit of the law, or at least it's meant to be.
18:50Nobody should be without sustenance. Hunger is a powerful motivator.
18:54True, but it should not be a motivator for theft.
18:57My approach is to turn a blind eye, wait for an opportunity to help the boy.
19:03Turning a blind eye is not what you're being paid for, Detective.
19:24Miss Bowerman, I'm Detective William Murdoch of the Toronto Constabulary.
19:29What can I help you with?
19:31I'm looking into the circumstances surrounding Michael Hewitt's death.
19:34A horrible tragedy. He was a lovely man. But what does this have to do with me?
19:40Howard MacDonald believes you used undue influence to convince his uncle to leave his entire estate to his dog and to make you the dog's guardian.
19:51That sounds like something Howard would believe.
19:55Well, it's not a completely unreasonable suspicion, given that it would grant you access to the MacDonald fortune.
20:02I don't care about any fortune. I love Charlie, as did the chairman.
20:06So his decision to leave his estate to his dog was his alone?
20:11As God is my witness, I would never interfere with any man's final wishes.
20:21Isn't that a Havanese?
20:23Yes.
20:25Emma Bowerman, you are coming with me.
20:27Well, perhaps you're right if following the rules leads to this.
20:31The thief got away.
20:33Small price to pay for landing the catch of the day.
20:37I may have spoken too soon.
20:40Two of the same thing. It's the Mona Lisa all over again.
20:47Where did that dog come from?
20:49I've been trying to tell you. That dog is Charlie.
20:52We owe his discovery to Miss Berger. She was on the trail of a stolen sausage. Caught the young thief.
20:58I'm sorry.
21:00I'm sorry.
21:02I'm sorry.
21:04I'm sorry.
21:05We owe his discovery to Miss Berger. She was on the trail of a stolen sausage. Caught the young thief trying to feed it to this dog.
21:12This is Darcy. He is Charlie's litter mate and as poor as a church mouse.
21:17And this one is Charlie. You can tell by the way he carries himself with a certain aplomb.
21:23They look the same. Why should I believe you?
21:27Because I have proof.
21:30Were you aware no two dog noses are the same?
21:33I was not.
21:35As a breeder, I make impressions before each puppy leaves my care.
21:39That's Charlie's.
21:41Thank you, Miss Bowerman.
21:44But I do have a few more questions before we get into comparing novice prints, if you wouldn't mind.
21:53I am an open book detective.
21:57You visited Mr. Hewitt several times in the week leading up to his death. Why?
22:05I wanted to make sure he had honored the chairman's wishes and amended the will.
22:10And what did he tell you?
22:12He said he planned to, but that he was dealing with a slight complication.
22:17What sort of complication?
22:19He wouldn't say.
22:21That must have been frustrating.
22:23Of course it was. That's why I kept going back to see him in the following days.
22:27Did any of these conversations become heated?
22:32Wait a minute. I see what you're doing. Are you accusing me of killing Mr. Hewitt?
22:38You had very strong motives and ample opportunity.
22:42Except I wasn't even in Toronto the day Mr. Hewitt died. I was in Collingwood with Darcy.
22:48Shame Darcy can't corroborate that story.
22:51But he can. The little champ was providing stud services to a fellow breeder, and they were there all night.
22:58This is my train ticket.
23:03I didn't steal Watson.
23:12That should do it.
23:14Right. Now, I've obtained a nose print from the bowl that was found in Mr. Hewitt's office.
23:20And we know that that is Charlie's because it is a match for the nose print on the reference that was given to us by Miss Bowerman.
23:30Now, let's see if this one is also a match.
23:41It's definitely a match. This is Charlie McDonald.
23:45This is Charlie McDonald.
23:48So the dog I found is the millionaire.
23:51The heir to the McDonald fortune.
23:58Charlie belongs to me, Detective.
24:00Without evidence of the will, you are not their legal guardian yet.
24:03As much as I'd like to be rid of these mugs, the detective is right, Miss Bowerman.
24:07These dogs are purebred. I'd wager their parentage is less ambiguous than some of the constables in your employ.
24:14Perhaps the dog should stay and I should leave.
24:18Mr. Langdale, what have you?
24:20I found the will. It was in one of the old safes that we rarely use.
24:25What does it say?
24:29It appears Miss Bowerman is right. She is indeed the dog's legal guardian.
24:33I told you. And the dog's name is Charlie. Thank you very much.
24:38You get to sleep in your bed tonight at last.
24:40I'm afraid I can't allow that.
24:43Why not?
24:45Mr. Hewitt's killer is still at large and as such the dog may still be a target.
24:50We simply don't have the manpower to guard him or you in a large Rosedale estate.
24:55The detective's right. Let me take you home. You can see Charlie in the morning.
25:05Guard him with your life, Detective.
25:07And don't forget to pet him. Charlie likes his cuddles.
25:16Wait. I made the front page?
25:20Oh! And you captured the soul of little Charlie using only pencil. Quite a remarkable feat.
25:28Thank you, little Ellen.
25:31Don't thank me quite yet.
25:34Don't thank me quite yet. I was unable to convince Miss Berger to rescind your tickets.
25:41Oh no.
25:44I'm afraid she will not back down. I dare say she's like a dog with a bone.
25:51Please, little Ellen, you have to try again. She's taking every cent I've got.
25:57Ah, Miss Bosman.
25:59I heard from Mr. Landle that you found the will.
26:01Yes, we did indeed. It turns out Mr. Hewitt made those amendments after all.
26:05And have you made an arrest in Mr. Hewitt's murder?
26:08We haven't. We're still sorting through all the evidence, but I've a feeling now it's just a matter of time.
26:13I see. Well, then it's a good thing I've come. I recalled something that may prove useful.
26:18Please, come this way.
26:21Detective, do you remember the chairman's bookkeeper, Miss Vosper? She has something for us.
26:27Yes, of course. Please, go ahead.
26:28A few months ago I noticed some discrepancies in Chairman MacDonald's expenses. Someone was embezzling money from him.
26:36Oh, and did you tell the chairman?
26:39He was so ill I didn't want to trouble him, but I pointed my concerns out to Mr. Hewitt. He suspected MacDonald's nephew.
26:47Howard MacDonald. And did Mr. Hewitt speak with him?
26:51He told me that he was going to confront him.
26:52Right.
26:54Very good. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
27:00Sir, that must be the conversation Hewitt was nervous about.
27:04A confrontation with Howard MacDonald. It certainly could be.
27:08He does have quite an intelligent face, doesn't he, sir?
27:14And an amazing nose. Perhaps he could help us sniff out the killer, sir.
27:17George, have you lost faith in our abilities?
27:20No, sir, but think about it. Working together? The brain of a copper and the nose of a dog?
27:26Oh, that would be an excellent idea.
27:29Sir, will you write this down for me?
27:31The constable and the canine.
27:34George, no one's going to be interested.
27:37The case, please.
27:39Right. Sir, well, the first thing we need to do is take the lord of the manor here out for a little walk.
27:43He's yet to move his bowels, poor chap. I wonder if all the trauma has him a little bunged up.
27:49Hmm. Well, he did witness a murder, George.
27:53Humans aren't the only mammals to display physiological symptoms as a result of trauma.
27:58Charlie is used to me. Allow me to take him for a stroll when one is too tense to...
28:04It's often beneficial to walk until the situation resolves naturally.
28:09Sounds like you're speaking from experience, Llewellyn.
28:12It's an excellent idea, Detective Watts. Just don't let him out of your sight.
28:20Did you know, sir, with baby tiger cubs, to induce their first movement, the mother has to lick their...
28:26Thank you, George.
28:34All right. Charlie?
28:36Let's go. Yes, over here. All right. Much better.
28:42It's privacy.
28:44Yes. There we go.
28:48Feeling restrained? Let me take this off. There you are.
28:53Better?
28:54Unleashing a dog within five feet of food stalls is strictly prohibited.
28:58Of course it is, Miss Berger.
29:00Did you not learn anything yesterday? If you stick to the rules, then you're not allowed to do it.
29:03Did you not learn anything yesterday? If you stick to the rules, then...
29:07What was that?
29:08A gunshot. He's after the dog. Take cover.
29:11Stop right there!
29:23You don't deny opening fire?
29:25What's the penalty for killing an animal, Detective?
29:29I confess I don't know. However...
29:32No matter what it is, with Charlie gone, I would have inherited my uncle's money, which is more than enough to hire an unbeatable defense lawyer.
29:40Do you also confess to the murder of Mr. Hewitt?
29:43I had nothing to do with that.
29:45You were stealing from your uncle?
29:47That's a load of horse manure. And who told you that? Let me guess. Mr. Landau.
29:56Why would you guess him?
29:58He was my uncle's lawyer. Till he showed his true colors.
30:00True colors?
30:02I caught him forging my uncle's signature to expedite a bank draft. He begged me not to tell the old man.
30:09But my uncle was no dummy. When I ratted Landau out, he said he suspected as much.
30:14He had no use for a lawyer who played loosey-goosey with the rules.
30:18What did your uncle do?
30:20He gave him the axe. Put everything in Mr. Hewitt's hands. Landau was furious.
30:26I'll be investigating this matter further.
30:28In the meantime, you'll be charged with the reckless use of a firearm.
30:34Ah, detective. Here is everything from Mr. Hewitt's office. What is it you're looking for?
30:41Well, I believe the signature on Chairman McDonald's amended will is forged.
30:47But I need a sample to compare it to.
30:50I think I may have seen...
30:54Ah, yes.
30:55A letter signed by Chairman McDonald.
30:58Very good.
31:02Well, it's close. But ultimately, the D's are different.
31:07You think Mr. Landau could have forged it?
31:10Well, with Mr. Hewitt's death, he does become the executor of the estate and stands to benefit handsomely.
31:18I do have the key to the office.
31:33Well, looky here.
31:40Perhaps we should consider hiring some taller constables.
31:49Mr. Landau, Toronto Police.
31:52Detective.
31:54Ah, now isn't a good time.
31:57Who is it, Pookie?
31:59Pookie?
32:01Miss Bowerman.
32:03I wasn't aware the two of you were so well acquainted.
32:07And what of it? We are entitled to pursue a relationship if we so choose.
32:12You're about to lose all of your entitlements, Mr. Landau.
32:15What is all this fuss about?
32:17Do you have a problem with love, detective?
32:19I have a problem with murder.
32:22Christopher Landau, you are under arrest for the murder of your partner, Michael Hewitt.
32:36I simply used Mr. Hewitt's notes to amend the will to reflect Chairman McDonald's exact wishes.
32:41And forging Chairman McDonald's signature, entrusted guardianship of the dog and its sizable fortune to Miss Bowerman.
32:49You are now romantically involved with her.
32:53Did the two of you conspire to kill Mr. Hewitt?
32:56We didn't conspire to do anything. Emma was not even in Toronto when Michael was killed, and neither was I.
33:01You were there. You saw me arrive.
33:09What's this?
33:11We've confirmed that blood residue on this grooming tool is a match for Mr. Hewitt's blood type.
33:17So?
33:19It was found in your office.
33:23I'll have someone put it there. I am being set up!
33:31Detective, I spoke to some witnesses. It turns out Mr. Landau was indeed at a conference in the bars when Hewitt was killed.
33:38So Mr. Landau was telling the truth. The murder weapon was planted.
33:44Right. Howard McDonald does have a good number of grooming tools in his stables.
33:51And a great deal to gain by planting a murder weapon.
33:54Oh, this is looking promising.
33:57Sir, we should give him some space. Nobody likes an audience.
34:02Right.
34:09Huh?
34:12Oh, good boy!
34:20George, there appears to be something in there.
34:23Sir, I think you're right.
34:39Is that a key? A safety deposit box key?
34:45Sir, this is not the way I thought Charlie would help our investigation.
34:53Ma'am, nothing to see here. Move along.
34:56Police business.
35:00Some sort of business.
35:02Some sort of business.
35:07What's all this?
35:09They're financial records belonging to Chairman McDonald, and they were in a safe deposit box rented by Michael Hewitt.
35:17Do they bring any clarity to Mr. Hewitt's murder?
35:20I don't know yet. So I've asked Miss Vosper, the Chairman's accountant, to come in.
35:25So, follow the money.
35:27You know, you're not the first person to say that to me.
35:32Well, this is interesting.
35:36That's three times today. Well done. Oh, oh. Looks like he likes you.
35:45I haven't been around dogs much since I left home.
35:51When you broke the rules and had him off leash, you ended up saving his life.
35:58True.
36:00True.
36:02I'm beginning to see your philosophy has a degree of merit.
36:10Plato argued justice is not merely about laws or external systems, but the harmony of the soul.
36:19Miss Vosper, I need your assistance to confirm that we indeed have the documents required to prove financial wrongdoing.
36:28Bank drafts to pay for property in Hebrides.
36:33Art purchases. First class round trip tickets on the Queen Mary prior to the holidays.
36:41All justifiable expenses.
36:42Even though Chairman MacDonald had been bedridden for over a year.
36:46Exactly. It was purchases like these that first roused my suspicions.
36:50Many of these bank drafts are payments to places Howard MacDonald frequented, according to the social papers, that is.
36:58Indeed. And that is why I believe...
37:01Oh.
37:03Young man.
37:05All right. Young man.
37:07Oh.
37:09Young man.
37:11All right. Young man, you have...
37:13Oh.
37:16It seems you have dog hair stuck to your coat.
37:19What?
37:21Because there is also blood.
37:28I've compared the hair that was stuck to your coat to a sample taken from Charlie.
37:34And they are a match.
37:37And what does that prove?
37:39That you killed Mr. Hewitt and you stole Charlie, didn't you, Miss Vosper?
37:44I didn't know such a thing. That's absolutely preposterous.
37:48I had a look through the receipts and there were some from a jewelry shop that my wife used to frequent.
37:55Here. Take a look.
37:57There's one for diamond necklace.
38:00Necklace? I believe that's what you're wearing now, Miss Vosper.
38:05No, no. This is cut glass. It's costume jewelry.
38:09I'm not so sure about that.
38:12We also confirmed that Howard MacDonald had no access to his uncle's accounts.
38:18You alone bore that responsibility.
38:22You don't know what you're talking about, Detective.
38:25I believe I do.
38:27Absolutely not, Miss Vosper.
38:30Mr. Hewitt became aware of your scheme and you had an argument.
38:34No matter how you tried to justify your actions, Mr. Hewitt had little interest in what you had to say.
38:40He had proof of your theft locked away in the Bank of Toronto.
38:44The dog's grooming cone was right there.
38:49And you attacked him.
38:51What are you doing? Stop it!
38:52We tried to fight you off without hurting you, but you showed him no such mercy as you delivered the fatal blow.
39:13Give me the key. Give me the key. Come on.
39:16No, no, no, no, no.
39:23No.
39:27The money I took was already spent.
39:30Why did he try and stop me? I just wanted the records and then the damn dog took the key.
39:37You killed Mr. Hewitt. Why did you not also kill Charlie?
39:44I'm not a monster, Detective.
39:47Killing a man is easy enough, but what kind of woman would kill a defenseless dog?
39:53I don't know.
40:01It hasn't been nearly as disruptive as I'd imagined.
40:05I have a feeling that is high praise coming from you, Detective Murdoch.
40:09Charlie, at last.
40:11Even though no signed will has been found, Mrs. Crabtree has found signed letters from Chairman MacDonald articulating his final wishes.
40:19She believes that that will be enough to convince the judge.
40:23And Howard's attempted murder of poor Charlie here hardly puts him in good stead to be the dog's guardian.
40:28Nevertheless, Charlie will make sure that Howard is well taken care of.
40:31That's just the kind of animal he is, and I plan to give you all the love you deserve.
40:37Speaking of love, what are your plans now? Do you plan to stay in Toronto for good?
40:43Have you made peace with Mr. Landell after everything he's done?
40:45Lots of questions, Constable. But I don't mind sharing the good news. Mr. Landell and I are to be married.
40:51Oh. He's been charged with fraud. He'll be disbarred.
40:55I believe he forged the will with the best intentions. He never doubted us.
41:00Charlie and I are willing to take what comes.
41:03Oh. Oh, we're all headed to the Starbright, Ms. Berger. Would you like to join us?
41:10I hardly think that would be appropriate, Detective. Mixed company, a drinking establishment.
41:16Do you really think someone in my position should act so recklessly?
41:21Change your mind.
41:23Mr. Landell.
41:24Ms. Berger?
41:26Ms. Leeming.
41:28Detective Watts.
41:30You just missed him.
41:32Oh. Oh, wait.
41:36Mr. Landell.
41:38Mr. Landell.
41:40Mr. Landell.
41:42Mr. Landell.
41:44Mr. Landell.
41:46Mr. Landell.
41:48Mr. Landell.
41:50Mr. Landell.
41:52Mr. Landell.
41:55I think we got off on the wrong foot. We're both working women, after all.
42:00So you understand the challenges that come along with that.
42:04I am willing to rescind the tickets I issued on one condition.
42:10Name it.
42:12You give me the original sketch you made of Charlie.
42:17I wasn't expecting this.
42:25This is going to make my bed sit feel more like home.
42:32But could I have another look at that other drawing?
42:44Is this a new drawing of Detective Watts?
42:48That it is.
42:49And is this an, um, an accurate depiction?
42:58I wouldn't know. I took artistic liberty, of course.
43:06A still portrait hardly captures the essence of Llewellyn's gesticulations.
43:13But I think it's rather flattering.
43:15I would have to agree.
