1
00:00:49,041 --> 00:00:50,601
Good morning, Constable.
2
00:01:19,961 --> 00:01:23,721
- George, what have you?
- A skeleton, sir.
3
00:01:24,001 --> 00:01:25,441
Yes, thank you, Constable.
4
00:01:25,761 --> 00:01:27,521
- The circumstances?
- Yes, of course, sir.
5
00:01:27,801 --> 00:01:29,121
The workers were digging
this pit here.
6
00:01:29,401 --> 00:01:31,521
They found this poor chap
about 15 feet down.
7
00:01:31,801 --> 00:01:33,201
They should have left
the body where it lay,
8
00:01:33,521 --> 00:01:34,441
but time is money,
I suppose.
9
00:01:34,761 --> 00:01:36,641
Indeed.
10
00:01:36,921 --> 00:01:38,641
I'd say he's been
down there some time, sir.
11
00:01:38,921 --> 00:01:41,961
Mm, yes.
About 30 years or so, I'd say.
12
00:01:42,241 --> 00:01:43,121
30 years?
13
00:01:43,401 --> 00:01:44,881
Yes, he was buried
under a landfill.
14
00:01:45,161 --> 00:01:46,401
If I'm not mistaken,
15
00:01:46,721 --> 00:01:48,921
there were once docks here
for passenger boats.
16
00:01:58,361 --> 00:02:00,201
Interesting.
17
00:02:00,521 --> 00:02:02,401
Perhaps he was
expecting trouble.
18
00:02:02,721 --> 00:02:04,361
Indeed.
19
00:02:04,681 --> 00:02:07,721
His pocket flask
has held up well.
20
00:02:08,001 --> 00:02:09,401
And, sir, it appears
those chains
21
00:02:09,721 --> 00:02:11,601
were wrapped around
his entire body.
22
00:02:11,881 --> 00:02:14,601
In that case, George,
however he went into the water,
23
00:02:14,881 --> 00:02:16,081
I'd say it's safe to assume
24
00:02:16,361 --> 00:02:19,961
someone didn't want him
coming back up.
25
00:02:24,521 --> 00:02:28,921
A Philadelphia Deringer
manufactured in 1862,
26
00:02:29,201 --> 00:02:32,561
the same type of gun
used to kill Abraham Lincoln.
27
00:02:32,841 --> 00:02:33,921
When was the dock filled in?
28
00:02:34,201 --> 00:02:36,001
1865.
29
00:02:36,281 --> 00:02:39,321
So our man was murdered
between '62 and '65.
30
00:02:39,641 --> 00:02:41,321
That's 35 years ago.
31
00:02:41,641 --> 00:02:44,281
Probably just some rummy
who got rolled.
32
00:02:44,601 --> 00:02:47,361
This flask is full.
33
00:02:47,681 --> 00:02:50,801
Oh!
Bloody gin!
34
00:02:53,961 --> 00:02:57,161
It's filled to the top.
35
00:02:57,441 --> 00:02:59,121
This is a five-ounce flask.
36
00:02:59,401 --> 00:03:01,681
So?
37
00:03:04,001 --> 00:03:07,321
There are only
four ounces in it.
38
00:03:18,041 --> 00:03:19,001
Oh, my.
39
00:03:19,281 --> 00:03:21,601
Well, how about that?
40
00:03:24,161 --> 00:03:28,721
"Jerod Hampson
and Lynden Grove."
41
00:03:44,721 --> 00:03:47,921
"Mr. Shanly is to be entrusted
under my authority
42
00:03:48,201 --> 00:03:51,441
to oversee this cargo."
43
00:03:51,761 --> 00:03:53,281
Which cargo?
44
00:03:53,601 --> 00:03:56,121
And what did this key open?
45
00:03:56,401 --> 00:03:57,561
I have no idea, sir,
46
00:03:57,841 --> 00:04:01,081
but this is signed
by a John A. Macdonald.
47
00:04:01,361 --> 00:04:03,321
The old prime minister?
48
00:04:03,641 --> 00:04:06,361
Our first prime minister, sir.
49
00:04:06,681 --> 00:04:11,121
It would appear that this victim
of ours isn't just some rummy.
50
00:04:14,401 --> 00:04:15,841
Sir, I love
secret compartments.
51
00:04:16,121 --> 00:04:17,641
They're so mysterious.
52
00:04:17,921 --> 00:04:20,201
I'm thinking about putting
a secret compartment in my book.
53
00:04:20,521 --> 00:04:21,561
I mean, in the story,
54
00:04:21,841 --> 00:04:23,841
not a secret compartment
in the actual...
55
00:04:24,121 --> 00:04:26,041
Sir, a secret compartment
in the actual book!
56
00:04:26,321 --> 00:04:28,121
Think about it;
you could hide a...
57
00:04:28,401 --> 00:04:30,761
a smaller book.
58
00:04:31,041 --> 00:04:34,601
George, why don't you see if
Jerod Hampson and Lynden Grove
59
00:04:34,881 --> 00:04:36,321
are included
in the census records?
60
00:04:36,641 --> 00:04:38,081
Yes, sir.
Sir, what's this key for?
61
00:04:38,361 --> 00:04:39,321
I don't know yet, George.
62
00:04:39,641 --> 00:04:41,081
Sir, do you think
this note was signed
63
00:04:41,361 --> 00:04:44,641
by the John A. Macdonald?
64
00:04:44,921 --> 00:04:47,321
Well, I have no reason
to believe it wasn't.
65
00:04:47,641 --> 00:04:49,801
I hear he was something
of a tragic figure, sir.
66
00:04:50,081 --> 00:04:52,401
He had a sickly wife
who was addicted to opium.
67
00:04:52,721 --> 00:04:54,121
His younger brother
was murdered,
68
00:04:54,401 --> 00:04:56,921
and, of course, he himself, sir,
was a bit of a--
69
00:04:57,201 --> 00:04:58,281
Run along now, George,
70
00:04:58,601 --> 00:05:00,881
and see if you can find
any newspaper reports
71
00:05:01,161 --> 00:05:02,121
on Shanly's disappearance
72
00:05:02,401 --> 00:05:04,281
and if he had any dealings
with Macdonald.
73
00:05:04,601 --> 00:05:07,361
Yes, sir.
Right away.
74
00:05:11,401 --> 00:05:13,241
Any initial impressions,
Doctor?
75
00:05:13,561 --> 00:05:16,121
Actually, I have discovered
something of interest.
76
00:05:16,401 --> 00:05:18,001
The lateral section
of the fourth rib
77
00:05:18,281 --> 00:05:20,201
had a deep scratch,
78
00:05:20,521 --> 00:05:22,921
suggesting an encounter
with a knife.
79
00:05:23,201 --> 00:05:24,721
Could that be
the cause of death?
80
00:05:25,001 --> 00:05:26,961
I can only say that at
some point in this man's life,
81
00:05:27,241 --> 00:05:28,441
he was stabbed.
82
00:05:28,761 --> 00:05:30,241
Knife entered the ribs
83
00:05:30,561 --> 00:05:32,921
just below the right armpit
by what appears to have been
84
00:05:33,201 --> 00:05:35,281
a slight upper thrust.
85
00:05:35,601 --> 00:05:37,561
But, yes, it likely killed him.
86
00:05:37,841 --> 00:05:42,321
I find that an odd location--
beneath the arm.
87
00:05:43,641 --> 00:05:46,401
Shake my hand.
88
00:05:51,361 --> 00:05:52,321
Interesting.
89
00:05:52,641 --> 00:05:54,201
Yes, that could be
how it happened.
90
00:05:54,521 --> 00:05:58,681
Yes, which would imply
that the killer was left-handed.
91
00:06:00,281 --> 00:06:02,921
Very good, Julia.
92
00:06:03,201 --> 00:06:05,121
Was there anything else?
93
00:06:05,401 --> 00:06:07,361
This is a pile of bones,
William.
94
00:06:07,681 --> 00:06:09,641
Consider yourself lucky
we found what we did.
95
00:06:09,921 --> 00:06:12,361
Yes, of course.
96
00:06:16,961 --> 00:06:18,921
Sir, I'm afraid
there's no record
97
00:06:19,201 --> 00:06:20,641
of a Jerod Hampson
or a Lynden Grove
98
00:06:20,921 --> 00:06:22,281
pre-dating 1861.
99
00:06:22,601 --> 00:06:26,001
However, I do think
we've found Mr. Shanly.
100
00:06:26,281 --> 00:06:28,681
He disappeared
October 22, 1864.
101
00:06:28,961 --> 00:06:31,681
The Minister of Defense?
102
00:06:31,961 --> 00:06:33,401
Top toff then was he?
103
00:06:33,721 --> 00:06:35,761
Which begs the question,
104
00:06:36,041 --> 00:06:37,841
how does a minister
in the Canadian government
105
00:06:38,121 --> 00:06:39,841
end up being chucked
into Toronto Harbor?
106
00:06:40,121 --> 00:06:42,361
Actually, sir,
"begging the question" is a term
107
00:06:42,681 --> 00:06:45,401
for a logical fallacy in which
the proposition to be proved
108
00:06:45,721 --> 00:06:47,121
is assumed in the premise.
109
00:06:47,401 --> 00:06:49,081
It's not a question
that begs to be asked?
110
00:06:49,361 --> 00:06:50,281
No.
111
00:06:50,601 --> 00:06:51,921
Then why the hell
do they call it that?
112
00:06:52,201 --> 00:06:54,881
I don't know.
113
00:06:55,161 --> 00:06:56,681
So how do you intend
to proceed?
114
00:06:56,961 --> 00:07:00,801
Well, sir, I believe I'll
start with Mr. Shanly's widow.
115
00:07:01,081 --> 00:07:03,521
Mortimer just dropped
off the face of the earth.
116
00:07:03,801 --> 00:07:07,121
I'd assumed he'd met
some unkind fate, of course.
117
00:07:07,401 --> 00:07:09,601
Do you have any idea
what he might have been doing
118
00:07:09,881 --> 00:07:10,841
down at the docks?
119
00:07:11,121 --> 00:07:12,001
None.
120
00:07:12,281 --> 00:07:14,361
As far as I knew,
he was in Quebec City,
121
00:07:14,681 --> 00:07:17,601
where parliament
was in session.
122
00:07:17,881 --> 00:07:19,561
Did he have any enemies?
123
00:07:19,841 --> 00:07:21,961
He was in politics.
124
00:07:22,241 --> 00:07:25,001
Ones that may have
wished him harm?
125
00:07:25,281 --> 00:07:28,801
Mortimer was obsessed with
the idea that the Union Army
126
00:07:29,081 --> 00:07:31,761
would attack Canada
when the South was defeated.
127
00:07:32,041 --> 00:07:33,721
Ah, yes,
a common fear at the time,
128
00:07:34,001 --> 00:07:35,801
one of the reasons
for Canadian confederation.
129
00:07:36,081 --> 00:07:39,201
Morty was convinced
that the Union government
130
00:07:39,521 --> 00:07:42,041
was spying on him.
131
00:07:42,321 --> 00:07:44,001
They may very well have been.
132
00:07:44,281 --> 00:07:47,201
He was the Minister of Militia
and Defense, after all.
133
00:07:47,521 --> 00:07:49,201
Well, do you think
that's who killed him then?
134
00:07:49,521 --> 00:07:51,281
The Americans?
135
00:07:51,601 --> 00:07:56,201
It's much too early to say
for certain, Mrs. Shanly.
136
00:07:56,521 --> 00:07:59,561
Well,
please keep me informed.
137
00:07:59,841 --> 00:08:01,641
Now, if you'll excuse me,
138
00:08:01,921 --> 00:08:05,601
I've got to make plans
to bury my husband.
139
00:08:17,081 --> 00:08:18,561
Detective Murdoch,
I presume?
140
00:08:18,841 --> 00:08:19,801
Yes.
141
00:08:20,081 --> 00:08:21,441
Carson Turner,
Toronto Gazette.
142
00:08:21,761 --> 00:08:23,321
Any developments
on the Shanly case?
143
00:08:23,641 --> 00:08:24,561
Not as yet.
144
00:08:24,841 --> 00:08:26,201
And now is certainly
not the time.
145
00:08:26,521 --> 00:08:28,041
Was anything recovered
from the body?
146
00:08:28,321 --> 00:08:31,081
A letter from
John A. Macdonald, perhaps?
147
00:08:31,361 --> 00:08:34,281
I'm not at liberty to discuss
matters of evidence.
148
00:08:34,601 --> 00:08:36,561
Do you deny finding
such a letter?
149
00:08:36,841 --> 00:08:38,761
I won't confirm
or deny anything
150
00:08:39,041 --> 00:08:41,041
until I've concluded
my investigation.
151
00:08:41,321 --> 00:08:42,281
Mr. Turner, was it?
152
00:08:42,601 --> 00:08:44,081
Thank you for your time.
153
00:08:44,361 --> 00:08:46,041
Good day.
154
00:08:53,801 --> 00:08:55,241
George.
155
00:08:55,561 --> 00:08:56,801
Rather a small turnout.
156
00:08:57,081 --> 00:08:58,401
Have you spoken
with everyone?
157
00:08:58,721 --> 00:09:01,201
Yes, sir, mostly friends
and professional acquaintances.
158
00:09:01,521 --> 00:09:02,881
I have all their names
and addresses.
159
00:09:03,161 --> 00:09:04,121
Very good.
160
00:09:04,401 --> 00:09:06,801
Sir, an old friend of ours
is here today.
161
00:09:07,081 --> 00:09:09,321
An old friend?
162
00:09:10,561 --> 00:09:12,321
Terrence Meyers.
163
00:09:14,841 --> 00:09:17,041
We are gathered here today to
mark the passing of Mortimer--
164
00:09:17,321 --> 00:09:19,201
So, sir, clockwise
from this chap nearest us,
165
00:09:19,521 --> 00:09:21,401
we have Colonel Grodin...
166
00:09:21,721 --> 00:09:23,841
- Army man?
- Yes, sir, American Civil War.
167
00:09:24,121 --> 00:09:26,241
Oh, which side?
168
00:09:26,561 --> 00:09:28,041
The South.
Told me twice.
169
00:09:28,321 --> 00:09:29,601
He's living
in St. Catharines now.
170
00:09:29,881 --> 00:09:31,361
What's his relationship
to the deceased?
171
00:09:31,681 --> 00:09:33,201
Friends, apparently.
172
00:09:33,521 --> 00:09:35,041
And next to him,
you have Lawrence Cheevers.
173
00:09:35,321 --> 00:09:36,721
Now, that's Shanly's
old secretary,
174
00:09:37,001 --> 00:09:39,361
now working for
the government of Ontario.
175
00:09:39,681 --> 00:09:42,361
Over here, standing next
to the widow and her family,
176
00:09:42,681 --> 00:09:44,361
Bertrand Jacobson,
another friend.
177
00:09:44,681 --> 00:09:45,921
Now lives in Toronto.
178
00:09:46,201 --> 00:09:48,081
He maketh me to lay down
in green pastures.
179
00:09:48,361 --> 00:09:51,681
He leadeth me towards water.
He restores my soul.
180
00:09:51,961 --> 00:09:53,561
He leadeth me in the path
of righteousness.
181
00:09:53,841 --> 00:09:56,161
For his name's sake.
Amen.
182
00:09:56,441 --> 00:09:59,121
Amen.
183
00:09:59,401 --> 00:10:00,841
He is at peace.
184
00:10:01,121 --> 00:10:04,241
Let me walk you
to your carriage.
185
00:10:15,721 --> 00:10:17,841
- Detective.
- Mr. Meyers.
186
00:10:18,121 --> 00:10:19,401
Is there any point
in asking you
187
00:10:19,721 --> 00:10:21,041
what your connection is
to this case?
188
00:10:21,321 --> 00:10:22,401
Hmm.
Well, let's see.
189
00:10:22,721 --> 00:10:24,521
Shanly was Minister
of Militia and Defense.
190
00:10:24,801 --> 00:10:26,761
I work for the Ministry
of Militia and Defense?
191
00:10:27,041 --> 00:10:28,681
Mm, and are you here
192
00:10:28,961 --> 00:10:31,321
to scuttle my investigation
once again?
193
00:10:31,641 --> 00:10:33,961
Oh, it's too late for that.
Cat's already out of the bag.
194
00:10:34,241 --> 00:10:36,281
Public demands
an investigation.
195
00:10:36,601 --> 00:10:37,681
But it's gonna be
on my terms.
196
00:10:37,961 --> 00:10:39,961
There are issues of national
security involved here.
197
00:10:40,241 --> 00:10:41,961
Aren't there always?
198
00:10:42,241 --> 00:10:45,081
I want you to keep me apprised
of any developments whatsoever.
199
00:10:45,361 --> 00:10:46,361
Call me at this number,
200
00:10:46,681 --> 00:10:49,001
and I'll be at the station
within the hour.
201
00:10:49,281 --> 00:10:52,961
Oh, and if you're approached
by this man,
202
00:10:53,241 --> 00:10:55,761
say nothing,
and inform me immediately.
203
00:10:56,041 --> 00:10:57,721
I was already approached
by him.
204
00:10:58,001 --> 00:11:00,361
His name is Turner.
He's a reporter for the Gazette.
205
00:11:00,681 --> 00:11:02,921
Reporter.
206
00:11:03,201 --> 00:11:04,401
His real name is Allen Clegg.
207
00:11:04,721 --> 00:11:06,361
He's an attaché
with the American consulate,
208
00:11:06,681 --> 00:11:07,441
ergo a spy.
209
00:11:07,721 --> 00:11:08,841
What did he want?
210
00:11:09,121 --> 00:11:12,081
He wanted to know if a letter
from Sir John A. Macdonald
211
00:11:12,361 --> 00:11:15,361
had been found
with Mr. Shanly's remains.
212
00:11:15,681 --> 00:11:17,921
Uh-huh.
What did you tell him?
213
00:11:18,201 --> 00:11:21,241
Nothing.
214
00:11:21,561 --> 00:11:24,241
This letter must never be
mentioned to anyone,
215
00:11:24,561 --> 00:11:25,561
especially Clegg.
216
00:11:25,841 --> 00:11:28,401
What's the significance
of the letter?
217
00:11:28,721 --> 00:11:30,721
Well, there is no letter.
218
00:11:31,001 --> 00:11:34,281
You didn't find one, did you?
219
00:11:34,601 --> 00:11:37,321
What did you find, Murdoch?
220
00:11:37,641 --> 00:11:40,321
- A pistol and a flask.
- Uh-huh.
221
00:11:40,641 --> 00:11:43,121
Anything else?
222
00:11:43,401 --> 00:11:47,281
The contents of the flask.
223
00:11:47,601 --> 00:11:49,521
Well, that's not surprising.
224
00:11:49,801 --> 00:11:51,041
Shanly had a fondness
for the bottle,
225
00:11:51,321 --> 00:11:52,961
not by Macdonald's standards,
but...
226
00:11:53,241 --> 00:11:55,801
anyway...
227
00:11:56,081 --> 00:11:57,521
remember, Detective,
228
00:11:57,801 --> 00:11:59,361
any developments.
229
00:11:59,681 --> 00:12:00,641
Meyers, eh?
230
00:12:00,921 --> 00:12:01,961
This Shanly business
231
00:12:02,241 --> 00:12:03,881
must have rattled a few closets
in Ottawa,
232
00:12:04,161 --> 00:12:05,841
all over this little note.
233
00:12:06,121 --> 00:12:07,841
Well, I didn't
give it to him, sir.
234
00:12:08,121 --> 00:12:10,521
He likely would have confiscated
the only evidence we had.
235
00:12:10,801 --> 00:12:11,721
Careful, Murdoch.
236
00:12:12,001 --> 00:12:13,681
Meyers has threatened us
with treason before
237
00:12:13,961 --> 00:12:15,961
for keeping secrets
from him.
238
00:12:16,241 --> 00:12:17,961
Sirs, according
to Shanly's schedule,
239
00:12:18,241 --> 00:12:22,121
he canceled all appointments
on October 21st and 22nd, 1864.
240
00:12:22,401 --> 00:12:24,121
He disappeared on the 22nd.
241
00:12:24,401 --> 00:12:25,641
Well, something
must have been up.
242
00:12:25,921 --> 00:12:28,601
Also, he seems to have had
quite a few meetings
243
00:12:28,881 --> 00:12:30,081
with the Secretariat
of the Treasury
244
00:12:30,361 --> 00:12:32,001
in the weeks leading up
to his disappearance,
245
00:12:32,281 --> 00:12:33,321
a Frederick Norton.
246
00:12:33,641 --> 00:12:35,201
Is he still alive
and kicking?
247
00:12:35,521 --> 00:12:37,001
No, sir, I checked.
He died ten years back.
248
00:12:37,281 --> 00:12:38,161
But Shanly's secretary
249
00:12:38,441 --> 00:12:39,881
might know something
of these meetings.
250
00:12:40,161 --> 00:12:41,841
He's still alive.
He was at the funeral today.
251
00:12:42,121 --> 00:12:43,201
Mr. Cheevers.
252
00:12:43,521 --> 00:12:45,961
I don't know why Mr. Shanly
was in Toronto.
253
00:12:46,241 --> 00:12:48,041
No one told me anything.
254
00:12:48,321 --> 00:12:49,601
According to
his appointment book,
255
00:12:49,881 --> 00:12:52,401
Mr. Shanly had no less
than six meetings
256
00:12:52,721 --> 00:12:54,121
with the Secretariat
of the Treasury
257
00:12:54,401 --> 00:12:56,161
in the weeks leading up
to his death.
258
00:12:56,441 --> 00:12:57,801
What was discussed
in those meetings?
259
00:12:58,081 --> 00:13:01,761
I'm afraid I wasn't privy
to those meetings either.
260
00:13:02,041 --> 00:13:04,881
But you were aware of them?
261
00:13:05,161 --> 00:13:09,761
Well, they later became the
subject of some c-c-controversy.
262
00:13:10,041 --> 00:13:12,801
Why is that?
263
00:13:13,081 --> 00:13:15,641
A rumor circulated that
gold bullion had been removed
264
00:13:15,921 --> 00:13:18,881
from the Treasury the day
Mr. Shanly disappeared.
265
00:13:19,161 --> 00:13:20,321
Oh?
How much?
266
00:13:20,641 --> 00:13:22,961
A million dollars' worth.
267
00:13:23,241 --> 00:13:25,361
There was a flurry of activity
in both ministries,
268
00:13:25,681 --> 00:13:28,561
police c-c-confiscating files
and such.
269
00:13:28,841 --> 00:13:32,521
And then suddenly,
everything was fine.
270
00:13:32,801 --> 00:13:35,241
An accounting error,
apparently.
271
00:13:37,161 --> 00:13:40,961
Sorry to interrupt, sir,
but there's been a development.
272
00:13:46,681 --> 00:13:48,081
Sir.
273
00:13:48,361 --> 00:13:50,441
George.
274
00:13:53,041 --> 00:13:56,561
Do you think it's coincidence
that Mr. Shanly's good friend
275
00:13:56,841 --> 00:13:59,321
Bertrand Jacobson is now
lying here shot to death?
276
00:13:59,641 --> 00:14:01,721
- I wouldn't say, sir.
- No.
277
00:14:02,001 --> 00:14:03,521
It would appear our case
from the past
278
00:14:03,801 --> 00:14:06,921
has taken a detour
into the present.
279
00:14:14,801 --> 00:14:17,281
Sir, Mrs. Jacobson said
she surprised the killer
280
00:14:17,601 --> 00:14:19,201
going through
her husband's desk drawers.
281
00:14:19,521 --> 00:14:20,881
She's confident
she would recognize him
282
00:14:21,161 --> 00:14:22,041
if she saw him again.
283
00:14:22,321 --> 00:14:23,241
Very good.
284
00:14:23,561 --> 00:14:27,041
Sir, the weapon lies here
as we found it.
285
00:14:31,201 --> 00:14:33,201
- Cap and ball revolver.
- Yes, sir.
286
00:14:33,521 --> 00:14:36,961
I haven't seen one of those
since my training day.
287
00:14:37,241 --> 00:14:40,801
Training day?
288
00:14:41,081 --> 00:14:42,241
It's been fired recently.
289
00:14:42,561 --> 00:14:45,721
This was standard issue
for the Confederate Army.
290
00:14:46,001 --> 00:14:49,521
Colonel Grodin was
a Confederate soldier.
291
00:14:49,801 --> 00:14:51,121
Sir, what I find
a great coincidence
292
00:14:51,401 --> 00:14:55,401
is that two men
killed 35 years apart
293
00:14:55,721 --> 00:14:58,841
both have a wound to this
unusual part of the body.
294
00:14:59,121 --> 00:15:02,001
Yes, how does one get shot
in the underarm?
295
00:15:02,281 --> 00:15:03,441
One thing I thought of, sir,
296
00:15:03,761 --> 00:15:05,521
was that perhaps
it's a defensive wound.
297
00:15:05,801 --> 00:15:08,721
Perhaps he raised his arm
thusly, exposing his underarm?
298
00:15:09,001 --> 00:15:10,881
Meaning he knew
the shot was coming.
299
00:15:14,361 --> 00:15:17,201
George, perhaps the contents
of Mr. Jacobson's desk drawers
300
00:15:17,521 --> 00:15:19,121
will tell us what the killer
was searching for.
301
00:15:19,401 --> 00:15:21,921
I'll pack them up
straightaway, sir.
302
00:15:22,201 --> 00:15:23,801
It's such a shock.
303
00:15:24,081 --> 00:15:27,761
Bertie and I had been together
for 34 years.
304
00:15:28,041 --> 00:15:29,321
Since I was 18.
305
00:15:29,641 --> 00:15:31,921
You met him in 1864?
306
00:15:32,201 --> 00:15:34,001
- Mm-hmm.
- Mrs. Jacobson.
307
00:15:34,281 --> 00:15:38,001
Did you know him
on October 22nd of that year?
308
00:15:38,281 --> 00:15:39,441
Why, no.
309
00:15:39,761 --> 00:15:41,081
That was the day
before I met him.
310
00:15:41,361 --> 00:15:43,521
How is it
the two of you met?
311
00:15:43,801 --> 00:15:46,321
Oh, it was...
312
00:15:46,641 --> 00:15:49,041
like a miracle, really.
313
00:15:49,321 --> 00:15:51,761
He washed up at my family's
cottage on Toronto Island.
314
00:15:52,041 --> 00:15:54,561
That's unusual,
to say the least.
315
00:15:54,841 --> 00:15:57,281
He'd fallen off
a fishing boat.
316
00:15:57,601 --> 00:16:00,561
He was near dead and frozen
by the time we found him.
317
00:16:00,841 --> 00:16:02,361
I nursed him back to health.
318
00:16:02,681 --> 00:16:03,961
He was a good man.
319
00:16:04,241 --> 00:16:06,601
Brave too.
320
00:16:06,881 --> 00:16:07,881
He almost died in that lake,
321
00:16:08,161 --> 00:16:11,521
yet he went back out fishing
every Sunday.
322
00:16:11,801 --> 00:16:14,201
Mrs. Jacobson,
what do you know
323
00:16:14,521 --> 00:16:17,441
about your husband's life
prior to him meeting you?
324
00:16:17,761 --> 00:16:22,401
I know he was an American,
born and raised in Virginia.
325
00:16:22,721 --> 00:16:24,361
Did he fight
in the American Civil War?
326
00:16:24,681 --> 00:16:26,521
- Yes, he did.
- For which side?
327
00:16:26,801 --> 00:16:28,041
Both.
328
00:16:28,321 --> 00:16:29,841
He was drafted
into the Union Army,
329
00:16:30,121 --> 00:16:31,521
but he switched sides.
330
00:16:31,801 --> 00:16:34,761
- And do you know why?
- No, I don't.
331
00:16:35,041 --> 00:16:38,761
He didn't like to talk about
his past, especially the war.
332
00:16:39,041 --> 00:16:41,081
Yes.
333
00:16:41,361 --> 00:16:43,681
According to your statement
to my constable,
334
00:16:43,961 --> 00:16:46,961
you got a good look
at the killer before he fled.
335
00:16:47,241 --> 00:16:48,361
Can you describe him?
336
00:16:48,681 --> 00:16:51,721
Dark hair, high forehead,
337
00:16:52,001 --> 00:16:54,801
um, not very tall.
338
00:17:00,641 --> 00:17:03,681
Is this the man you saw?
339
00:17:03,961 --> 00:17:05,601
That's him!
340
00:17:05,881 --> 00:17:09,001
That's definitely him.
341
00:17:13,961 --> 00:17:16,641
Sir, Allen Clegg
is on his way.
342
00:17:16,921 --> 00:17:19,441
Look what I've just found
in Jacobson's files.
343
00:17:19,761 --> 00:17:21,921
Elvira May.
344
00:17:22,201 --> 00:17:23,761
Who's Elvira May?
345
00:17:24,041 --> 00:17:25,961
Not who, sir,
but what.
346
00:17:26,241 --> 00:17:28,121
Have a look.
347
00:17:30,041 --> 00:17:31,001
Elvira May was a steamboat?
348
00:17:31,281 --> 00:17:34,721
A steamboat that sank
on October 22, 1864,
349
00:17:35,001 --> 00:17:39,081
one day before Jacobson
washed ashore on Toronto Island.
350
00:17:39,361 --> 00:17:42,561
Bertrand Jacobson claims to have
fallen off of a fishing boat,
351
00:17:42,841 --> 00:17:44,721
and he washed up on shore
the day after
352
00:17:45,001 --> 00:17:46,921
the Elvira May went missing.
353
00:17:47,201 --> 00:17:49,361
Jacobson knew Mortimer Shanly.
354
00:17:49,681 --> 00:17:51,161
Shanly was killed on the docks.
355
00:17:51,441 --> 00:17:55,161
How does Shanly connect
to the Elvira May?
356
00:17:55,441 --> 00:17:57,041
Where was
the Elvira May going?
357
00:17:57,321 --> 00:17:58,961
According to the papers,
it was commissioned
358
00:17:59,241 --> 00:18:02,121
to go to St. Catharines.
359
00:18:02,401 --> 00:18:05,601
George, we know someone
from St. Catharines.
360
00:18:05,881 --> 00:18:07,241
Colonel Grodin.
361
00:18:07,561 --> 00:18:09,761
Yes, I knew Jacobson.
362
00:18:10,041 --> 00:18:13,041
We both fought the war
for Southern independence.
363
00:18:13,321 --> 00:18:14,881
You mean the Civil War?
364
00:18:15,161 --> 00:18:16,401
There was nothing civil
365
00:18:16,721 --> 00:18:19,641
about what those Yankee bastards
did to my home.
366
00:18:19,921 --> 00:18:22,121
How did you come to know
Jacobson?
367
00:18:22,401 --> 00:18:26,161
We broke out of a Union prison
in Ohio and headed north.
368
00:18:26,441 --> 00:18:28,361
We found a home
for ourselves here.
369
00:18:28,681 --> 00:18:33,601
Jacobson carried on to Toronto,
and I settled in St. Catharines.
370
00:18:33,881 --> 00:18:35,961
Yes, St. Catharines.
371
00:18:36,241 --> 00:18:40,681
That was the destination
of the Elvira May, yes?
372
00:18:40,961 --> 00:18:42,641
You're familiar with that name?
373
00:18:42,921 --> 00:18:44,521
Of course I am.
374
00:18:44,801 --> 00:18:46,881
Jacobson was on the boat.
375
00:18:47,161 --> 00:18:49,681
Oh, I think it's more
than that, Colonel.
376
00:18:49,961 --> 00:18:52,641
I believe that boat
was on some kind of mission
377
00:18:52,921 --> 00:18:55,641
involving a special cargo,
378
00:18:55,921 --> 00:18:58,201
and I think Mr. Shanly
was also involved.
379
00:18:58,521 --> 00:19:00,601
He was.
380
00:19:00,881 --> 00:19:02,681
In fact,
until a day or two ago,
381
00:19:02,961 --> 00:19:06,721
I believed he had gone down
with that boat too.
382
00:19:07,001 --> 00:19:09,841
Shanly and Jacobson were
on their way to see you?
383
00:19:10,121 --> 00:19:12,081
Yes.
384
00:19:12,361 --> 00:19:13,321
Why?
385
00:19:13,641 --> 00:19:15,041
We...
386
00:19:15,321 --> 00:19:16,841
we had business.
387
00:19:17,121 --> 00:19:19,081
What kind of business?
388
00:19:19,361 --> 00:19:23,361
I'm afraid I made a promise
never to breathe a word of that.
389
00:19:23,681 --> 00:19:24,601
A promise to Shanly?
390
00:19:24,881 --> 00:19:28,001
He died 34 years ago.
391
00:19:28,281 --> 00:19:30,801
It's a question of honor.
392
00:19:31,081 --> 00:19:33,401
A Southern gentleman
keeps his promises.
393
00:19:33,721 --> 00:19:35,361
- Sir?
- Yes, George?
394
00:19:35,681 --> 00:19:37,121
Allen Clegg is here.
395
00:19:37,401 --> 00:19:41,241
Mr. Turner, how are things
at the Toronto Gazette?
396
00:19:41,561 --> 00:19:44,001
I apologize for
deceiving you, Detective.
397
00:19:44,281 --> 00:19:46,761
Where were you yesterday
at about half past 2:00?
398
00:19:47,041 --> 00:19:48,761
I was at
Bert Jacobson's house.
399
00:19:49,041 --> 00:19:50,321
You admit it?
400
00:19:50,641 --> 00:19:53,801
The truth is, Jacobson
was dead by the time I arrived.
401
00:19:54,081 --> 00:19:55,721
But instead of reporting
to the police
402
00:19:56,001 --> 00:19:57,081
that a man had been murdered,
403
00:19:57,361 --> 00:19:59,281
you rifled through
his desk drawers?
404
00:19:59,601 --> 00:20:02,361
I would have preferred to talk
to him personally, but...
405
00:20:02,681 --> 00:20:04,761
What were you looking for?
406
00:20:05,041 --> 00:20:06,961
Information...
407
00:20:07,241 --> 00:20:09,121
on a boat that sank
34 years ago.
408
00:20:09,401 --> 00:20:11,001
The Elvira May.
409
00:20:11,281 --> 00:20:13,881
Do you know what cargo
it was carrying?
410
00:20:14,161 --> 00:20:17,601
I have my suspicions,
but by all means.
411
00:20:17,881 --> 00:20:20,681
The Elvira May was hired
by Mortimer Shanly
412
00:20:20,961 --> 00:20:23,601
to transport four strongboxes
of gold bullion
413
00:20:23,881 --> 00:20:26,041
from the government reserves
in Kingston
414
00:20:26,321 --> 00:20:29,081
to a Confederate agent
in St. Catharines.
415
00:20:29,361 --> 00:20:30,361
To what end?
416
00:20:30,681 --> 00:20:34,361
You have to ask?
417
00:20:34,681 --> 00:20:37,921
Your government supported
the Confederate states.
418
00:20:38,201 --> 00:20:42,201
Sir, Canada was neutral
during the Civil War.
419
00:20:42,521 --> 00:20:44,361
Nobody's neutral, Detective.
420
00:20:44,681 --> 00:20:47,161
Everyone has an agenda.
421
00:20:47,441 --> 00:20:49,881
Canada's was the breakup
of the American Union.
422
00:20:50,161 --> 00:20:51,601
You were under
specific instructions
423
00:20:51,881 --> 00:20:53,041
not to talk to that man!
424
00:20:53,321 --> 00:20:56,121
That man is the lead suspect
in a murder investigation.
425
00:20:56,401 --> 00:20:57,641
He has diplomatic immunity.
426
00:20:57,921 --> 00:20:59,601
We still need to know
what happened.
427
00:21:03,001 --> 00:21:04,801
This investigation
is now over, gentlemen.
428
00:21:05,081 --> 00:21:07,881
I don't think so,
Mr. Meyers.
429
00:21:11,401 --> 00:21:12,601
I beg your pardon.
430
00:21:12,881 --> 00:21:14,401
We live in a democracy, pal.
431
00:21:14,721 --> 00:21:16,601
You want to shut down
this investigation,
432
00:21:16,881 --> 00:21:18,081
show us
your letter of authority.
433
00:21:18,361 --> 00:21:20,561
And while you're at it,
tell us about Shanly,
434
00:21:20,841 --> 00:21:23,201
the missing gold, and the letter
from John A. Macdonald.
435
00:21:23,521 --> 00:21:26,041
There is no letter.
436
00:21:26,321 --> 00:21:27,441
I found it.
437
00:21:27,761 --> 00:21:30,561
And I want to know
what it means.
438
00:21:34,081 --> 00:21:35,441
Where is it?
439
00:21:35,761 --> 00:21:39,921
Where you can't get
your grubby little hands on it.
440
00:21:50,561 --> 00:21:53,081
4179.
441
00:21:53,361 --> 00:21:55,721
It's Meyers here.
Put him on.
442
00:21:56,001 --> 00:21:59,921
Yes, sir.
It's as we feared, I'm afraid.
443
00:22:00,201 --> 00:22:03,041
No, sir, I think
you'd better come to us.
444
00:22:03,321 --> 00:22:05,961
Thank you, sir.
445
00:22:06,241 --> 00:22:08,081
That was my boss.
446
00:22:08,361 --> 00:22:10,121
And he's coming
to speak to you.
447
00:22:14,761 --> 00:22:16,241
I tell you, lads,
this year the Stanley Cup
448
00:22:16,561 --> 00:22:17,521
goes to the Ottawa Capitals.
449
00:22:17,801 --> 00:22:19,281
They've just acquired
this brilliant chap
450
00:22:19,601 --> 00:22:20,601
from the Rat Portage Thistles.
451
00:22:20,881 --> 00:22:23,241
He used to play cover point.
452
00:22:23,561 --> 00:22:27,361
I'm here to speak
with Detective Murdoch.
453
00:22:32,921 --> 00:22:34,641
- Bloody hell!
- Ah.
454
00:22:34,921 --> 00:22:39,321
Gentlemen, allow me to introduce
Sir Wilfrid Laurier.
455
00:22:39,641 --> 00:22:42,361
- Prime Minister.
- Sir.
456
00:22:42,681 --> 00:22:45,401
Gentlemen, we need to talk.
457
00:22:55,081 --> 00:22:59,361
Yes, this is
Sir John's handwriting.
458
00:22:59,681 --> 00:23:01,161
Then this note
must be destroyed.
459
00:23:01,441 --> 00:23:04,081
But it has
evidentiary value.
460
00:23:04,361 --> 00:23:06,521
Murdoch, if the Americans
were to get their hands on this,
461
00:23:06,801 --> 00:23:08,241
it would mean
the end of Canada.
462
00:23:08,561 --> 00:23:11,201
Apologies, Prime Minister,
but what the hell is going on?
463
00:23:11,521 --> 00:23:14,641
- Inspector, we have to--
- Gentlemen.
464
00:23:20,521 --> 00:23:23,241
Now, have either of you
heard of the Copperheads?
465
00:23:23,561 --> 00:23:26,281
A loose assortment
of Confederate-leaning renegades
466
00:23:26,601 --> 00:23:29,001
who sought to end
the American Civil War,
467
00:23:29,281 --> 00:23:30,281
I believe.
468
00:23:30,601 --> 00:23:32,761
Yes, they also sought
to create
469
00:23:33,041 --> 00:23:36,721
a second breakaway republic
in the American Northwest.
470
00:23:37,001 --> 00:23:40,521
Now, you can see the benefits
to Canada in such a scenario.
471
00:23:40,801 --> 00:23:42,841
An American republic
divided into three parts
472
00:23:43,121 --> 00:23:44,881
would be vastly weaker.
473
00:23:45,161 --> 00:23:46,441
So it's true then?
474
00:23:46,761 --> 00:23:47,641
The Canadian Government
475
00:23:47,921 --> 00:23:49,841
conspired to fund
the Confederacy?
476
00:23:50,121 --> 00:23:52,041
Elements of the government
conspired,
477
00:23:52,321 --> 00:23:54,081
namely Shanly
and Frederick Norton.
478
00:23:54,361 --> 00:23:56,161
The Secretariat
of the Treasury?
479
00:23:56,441 --> 00:23:58,201
Shanly arranged
to steal gold bullion
480
00:23:58,521 --> 00:24:00,041
from government reserves
481
00:24:00,321 --> 00:24:02,521
and transport it
to a Confederate agent.
482
00:24:02,801 --> 00:24:04,601
But surely even
the Minister of Defense
483
00:24:04,881 --> 00:24:06,161
can't simply walk
into the Treasury
484
00:24:06,441 --> 00:24:09,121
and check out a million dollars
in gold bullion.
485
00:24:09,401 --> 00:24:11,121
No, it would have to be
transferred
486
00:24:11,401 --> 00:24:12,761
according to
a strict protocol.
487
00:24:13,041 --> 00:24:16,561
Overriding protocol required
a special letter of authority
488
00:24:16,841 --> 00:24:18,281
from the highest office
in the land.
489
00:24:18,601 --> 00:24:20,761
Why would John A. Macdonald
write such a letter?
490
00:24:21,041 --> 00:24:22,201
Shanly lied to him.
491
00:24:22,521 --> 00:24:24,881
He told him a Canadian soldier
was killed
492
00:24:25,161 --> 00:24:27,081
taking part
in a Confederate raid
493
00:24:27,361 --> 00:24:30,121
into Vermont
from Canadian soil.
494
00:24:30,401 --> 00:24:32,321
- The St. Albans Raid, sir.
- Oh.
495
00:24:32,641 --> 00:24:34,521
The Americans were
already furious about that.
496
00:24:34,801 --> 00:24:37,601
Macdonald knew if
a Canadian soldier was involved,
497
00:24:37,881 --> 00:24:39,161
it would have meant war.
498
00:24:39,441 --> 00:24:41,041
Shanly claimed
the soldier's body
499
00:24:41,321 --> 00:24:42,801
was smuggled back
across the border
500
00:24:43,081 --> 00:24:45,681
but that Union spies
had gotten wind of it.
501
00:24:45,961 --> 00:24:47,921
So he requested
the letter of authority
502
00:24:48,201 --> 00:24:49,641
to escort the casket home
503
00:24:49,921 --> 00:24:52,121
to ensure the spies
didn't intercept the body.
504
00:24:52,401 --> 00:24:54,441
- But there was no dead soldier.
- No.
505
00:24:54,761 --> 00:24:57,361
It was all a ruse to obtain
the letter of authority.
506
00:24:57,681 --> 00:24:59,681
Which Shanly then used
to transport gold bullion
507
00:24:59,961 --> 00:25:01,201
to the Confederates instead.
508
00:25:01,521 --> 00:25:02,721
So who killed Shanly?
509
00:25:03,001 --> 00:25:04,041
We have no idea.
510
00:25:04,321 --> 00:25:05,841
Whatever became of the gold,
511
00:25:06,121 --> 00:25:08,281
the Americans
must never find it.
512
00:25:08,601 --> 00:25:09,601
It's proof
513
00:25:09,881 --> 00:25:11,321
of a Canadian-Confederate
conspiracy.
514
00:25:11,641 --> 00:25:15,201
The war that would provoke
would destroy the Dominion.
515
00:25:15,521 --> 00:25:18,521
But, sir,
it was 34 years ago.
516
00:25:18,801 --> 00:25:21,321
McKinley's administration
has already attacked Spain
517
00:25:21,641 --> 00:25:23,601
on the slimmest pretext.
518
00:25:23,881 --> 00:25:27,001
Now, on the verge of victory,
they'll be itching for more.
519
00:25:27,281 --> 00:25:30,241
We can't give them an excuse.
520
00:25:30,561 --> 00:25:33,881
Well, if it's of any help,
Prime Minister,
521
00:25:34,161 --> 00:25:35,961
I believe I know
where the gold is.
522
00:25:39,201 --> 00:25:42,241
I believe this map is what
Allen Clegg was searching for
523
00:25:42,561 --> 00:25:44,401
at Bertrand Jacobson's house.
524
00:25:44,721 --> 00:25:48,321
Clegg told me that Shanly
loaded the gold into strongboxes
525
00:25:48,641 --> 00:25:51,761
and shipped them aboard
a steamer called the Elvira May,
526
00:25:52,041 --> 00:25:54,161
headed for St. Catharines.
527
00:25:54,441 --> 00:25:57,521
So the Confederate agent
was to receive the gold there?
528
00:25:57,801 --> 00:26:00,041
Yes, sir.
But the Elvira May sank.
529
00:26:00,321 --> 00:26:04,641
Jacobson's wife told me that he
went out fishing every Sunday,
530
00:26:04,921 --> 00:26:07,801
probably dragging his nets
for the Elvira May.
531
00:26:08,081 --> 00:26:11,041
I believe the shaded area here
represents the section
532
00:26:11,321 --> 00:26:13,401
where Jacobson thought
the boat sank.
533
00:26:13,721 --> 00:26:15,601
Those are American waters,
less than, what,
534
00:26:15,881 --> 00:26:17,521
ten miles from their shores?
535
00:26:17,801 --> 00:26:20,641
Why would the Elvira May
end up in American waters
536
00:26:20,921 --> 00:26:22,641
if she was destined
for St. Catharines?
537
00:26:22,921 --> 00:26:24,761
Maybe Jacobson
had the location wrong.
538
00:26:25,041 --> 00:26:26,121
It's possible.
539
00:26:26,401 --> 00:26:27,761
I don't know what
we're worried about.
540
00:26:28,041 --> 00:26:29,201
No one's going to find
a sunken boat
541
00:26:29,521 --> 00:26:30,881
in a circle five miles wide.
542
00:26:31,161 --> 00:26:32,801
Well, sir,
at that shallow depth,
543
00:26:33,081 --> 00:26:35,561
a convoy of fishing boats
dragging their nets
544
00:26:35,841 --> 00:26:38,001
would eventually snag on it.
545
00:26:38,281 --> 00:26:40,721
So if the Americans are bent
on finding this, they will.
546
00:26:41,001 --> 00:26:42,961
That means
we have to find it first.
547
00:26:43,241 --> 00:26:45,401
Sir, surely we can't send
a convoy of our boats
548
00:26:45,721 --> 00:26:46,601
into their waters.
549
00:26:46,881 --> 00:26:49,321
There may be another way.
550
00:26:49,641 --> 00:26:51,961
It would involve
some untried science,
551
00:26:52,241 --> 00:26:54,281
but I think it could work.
552
00:26:54,601 --> 00:26:55,761
Murdoch,
I am loathe to say this,
553
00:26:56,041 --> 00:26:57,321
but I'm listening.
554
00:26:57,641 --> 00:26:59,321
I'll need
some special equipment
555
00:26:59,641 --> 00:27:01,041
and some time,
Prime Minister.
556
00:27:01,321 --> 00:27:02,881
Not too much time,
Detective.
557
00:27:03,161 --> 00:27:04,321
Sir.
558
00:27:31,081 --> 00:27:35,161
Everything we see
is the result of light waves
559
00:27:35,441 --> 00:27:38,161
being reflected off of
the surface of any given object.
560
00:27:38,441 --> 00:27:41,681
Unfortunately, light waves don't
travel very far underwater,
561
00:27:41,961 --> 00:27:44,961
but sound waves do,
and the same principle applies.
562
00:27:45,241 --> 00:27:48,761
We call it an echo.
563
00:27:49,041 --> 00:27:51,961
So it stands to reason
that if we were to send
564
00:27:52,241 --> 00:27:55,161
strong pulses of sound
from our source here,
565
00:27:55,441 --> 00:27:59,401
any that hit a hard,
vertical surface
566
00:27:59,721 --> 00:28:00,841
will be reflected back
567
00:28:01,121 --> 00:28:04,361
and detected
by our microphone here.
568
00:28:04,681 --> 00:28:06,121
Up to what distance?
569
00:28:06,401 --> 00:28:08,401
By my calculations,
up to one mile.
570
00:28:08,721 --> 00:28:11,921
And since sound travels
at a fixed rate of speed,
571
00:28:12,201 --> 00:28:14,161
by continuously measuring
the amount of time it takes
572
00:28:14,441 --> 00:28:17,841
for the waves to be reflected
back to the microphone,
573
00:28:18,121 --> 00:28:21,921
we can determine the distance
to the sunken vessel.
574
00:28:22,201 --> 00:28:26,161
To that end,
I have built...
575
00:28:26,441 --> 00:28:27,561
the Graphizer.
576
00:28:37,321 --> 00:28:38,521
Hm.
577
00:28:38,801 --> 00:28:40,721
As the sound pulses are
collected by the microphone,
578
00:28:41,001 --> 00:28:42,841
they are then converted
to electrical pulses,
579
00:28:43,121 --> 00:28:45,761
which move the needle
and mark the paper.
580
00:28:46,041 --> 00:28:47,841
Let me try that.
581
00:28:48,121 --> 00:28:49,201
Hah!
582
00:28:49,521 --> 00:28:52,041
You can see my voice.
583
00:28:52,321 --> 00:28:54,441
Very good, sir.
584
00:28:54,761 --> 00:28:56,001
So when is this to happen?
585
00:28:56,281 --> 00:28:58,801
Constable Crabtree
has secured a fishing vessel.
586
00:28:59,081 --> 00:29:00,441
We sail tonight.
587
00:29:14,841 --> 00:29:17,521
I can't see a bloody thing.
588
00:29:17,801 --> 00:29:20,561
Sir, how can you tell
where we are?
589
00:29:20,841 --> 00:29:25,321
At a fixed bearing and speed,
location is a function of time.
590
00:29:25,641 --> 00:29:28,321
Okay, so where are we?
591
00:29:28,641 --> 00:29:30,401
We're entering our range.
592
00:29:30,721 --> 00:29:33,441
Right then, George.
Put the microphone in the water.
593
00:29:33,761 --> 00:29:35,281
Aye, aye, sir.
594
00:29:35,601 --> 00:29:36,361
Aye, aye?
595
00:29:36,641 --> 00:29:37,401
I'm just trying to get into
596
00:29:37,721 --> 00:29:41,321
the nautical spirit
of things, sir.
597
00:29:44,881 --> 00:29:46,601
Needle's moving already.
598
00:29:46,881 --> 00:29:49,601
It's capturing the sound
of the motors, sir.
599
00:29:51,321 --> 00:29:52,361
What the hell was that?
600
00:29:52,681 --> 00:29:54,201
That's our source sound.
601
00:29:54,521 --> 00:29:56,641
I've rigged it belowdecks
to sound automatically.
602
00:29:56,921 --> 00:29:58,001
Ah.
603
00:30:05,401 --> 00:30:07,441
Suppose the Americans proved
that we tried
604
00:30:07,761 --> 00:30:10,601
to fund the Confederates
and these Copperheads.
605
00:30:10,881 --> 00:30:13,001
Do you really think they'd up
and march across the border?
606
00:30:13,281 --> 00:30:16,121
Probably not
how it would happen.
607
00:30:16,401 --> 00:30:17,801
A bully doesn't
pick a fight with a punch.
608
00:30:18,081 --> 00:30:19,241
He provokes it with an insult.
609
00:30:19,561 --> 00:30:21,161
Most fistfights start
with a shoving match.
610
00:30:21,441 --> 00:30:22,281
Exactly.
611
00:30:22,601 --> 00:30:24,041
And then they would demand
an apology.
612
00:30:24,321 --> 00:30:26,201
If we gave them one,
we'd be admitting guilt.
613
00:30:26,521 --> 00:30:28,801
The yellow press
would demand punitive action.
614
00:30:29,081 --> 00:30:31,401
Any further denial would be
viewed as fresh provocation,
615
00:30:31,721 --> 00:30:32,641
and so it would go.
616
00:30:32,921 --> 00:30:34,561
Until they're marching
across the border.
617
00:30:34,841 --> 00:30:37,801
Oh, make no mistakes.
They'd hand us our heads.
618
00:30:40,201 --> 00:30:41,121
I think we've got something.
619
00:30:41,401 --> 00:30:43,881
Murdoch!
620
00:30:47,721 --> 00:30:48,961
Cut the engines!
621
00:30:54,001 --> 00:30:55,241
50 yards and closing.
622
00:30:55,561 --> 00:30:58,721
George, time for you
to put on your diving suit.
623
00:30:59,001 --> 00:31:00,401
Sir.
624
00:31:00,721 --> 00:31:03,001
How do we know it's the
Elvira May that's down there?
625
00:31:03,281 --> 00:31:04,561
We don't, sir.
626
00:31:14,321 --> 00:31:15,761
- Ready, Crabtree?
- Sir.
627
00:31:20,001 --> 00:31:22,121
- Good luck.
- Ow!
628
00:31:22,401 --> 00:31:24,601
Thank you, sir.
629
00:31:24,881 --> 00:31:26,241
I'll fasten the helmet.
630
00:31:26,561 --> 00:31:28,081
Now, George,
you remember the signals?
631
00:31:28,361 --> 00:31:29,241
Yes, sir.
632
00:31:29,561 --> 00:31:30,321
When you find the boat?
633
00:31:30,641 --> 00:31:31,681
- One bell.
- Good.
634
00:31:31,961 --> 00:31:33,441
And when you locate
the strongboxes?
635
00:31:33,761 --> 00:31:35,721
- Two.
- Very good.
636
00:31:36,001 --> 00:31:38,041
Now, remember,
it's only 100 feet,
637
00:31:38,321 --> 00:31:40,441
but the pressure
will be tremendous.
638
00:31:40,761 --> 00:31:43,081
Don't hold your breath
on the way back up.
639
00:31:43,361 --> 00:31:44,201
Yes, sir.
640
00:31:44,521 --> 00:31:45,721
Right then.
Skipper.
641
00:31:56,361 --> 00:31:59,001
All right.
Take it down.
642
00:32:30,841 --> 00:32:32,721
He's found the boat.
643
00:32:38,081 --> 00:32:39,721
Bloody hell, he's found
the strongboxes too.
644
00:32:40,001 --> 00:32:41,121
Bring him up, skipper.
645
00:32:59,561 --> 00:33:01,161
Are you all right, George?
646
00:33:01,441 --> 00:33:02,921
I'm all right.
647
00:33:03,201 --> 00:33:06,041
I found it!
648
00:33:09,161 --> 00:33:11,921
At least we found the gold
before the Yanks.
649
00:33:14,281 --> 00:33:17,201
Sir, we're picking up a sound.
650
00:33:17,521 --> 00:33:20,401
Something's coming
right at us.
651
00:33:23,841 --> 00:33:26,121
You are in American waters!
652
00:33:26,401 --> 00:33:28,961
Prepare to be towed to port!
653
00:33:29,241 --> 00:33:30,521
Bloody hell.
654
00:33:34,161 --> 00:33:35,921
- Meyers.
- Clegg.
655
00:33:36,201 --> 00:33:38,561
We meet again,
as they say.
656
00:33:41,841 --> 00:33:43,401
Open the strongbox.
657
00:33:43,721 --> 00:33:45,961
We don't have the key.
658
00:33:46,241 --> 00:33:49,361
Drill the lock.
We'll blow it.
659
00:33:56,921 --> 00:33:59,681
Stand back.
Shield your eyes.
660
00:34:08,641 --> 00:34:10,561
Bricks.
661
00:34:10,841 --> 00:34:13,841
Nothing but damn bricks!
662
00:34:26,281 --> 00:34:27,241
I wasn't sure that the Yanks
663
00:34:27,561 --> 00:34:30,001
weren't going
to lock us up anyway.
664
00:34:30,281 --> 00:34:31,601
We're not made of gold,
Inspector.
665
00:34:31,881 --> 00:34:33,641
It's that simple.
666
00:34:33,921 --> 00:34:37,961
But that look on Clegg's face.
667
00:34:38,241 --> 00:34:39,601
What I don't understand,
though, is,
668
00:34:39,881 --> 00:34:42,721
how did 240 pounds
of bullion turn into bricks?
669
00:34:43,001 --> 00:34:44,961
Maybe there never was
any bullion.
670
00:34:45,241 --> 00:34:46,681
No, one thing we know
for certain is,
671
00:34:46,961 --> 00:34:49,921
$1 million worth
was removed from the Treasury.
672
00:34:50,201 --> 00:34:51,361
If it helps, sirs,
673
00:34:51,681 --> 00:34:53,121
I think I know how
the Elvira May went down.
674
00:34:53,401 --> 00:34:54,281
How?
675
00:34:54,601 --> 00:34:55,921
There was a great hole
in the hull, sir.
676
00:34:56,201 --> 00:34:58,281
That's how I was able to locate
the strongboxes so easily.
677
00:34:58,601 --> 00:34:59,721
Do you think
she hit something?
678
00:35:00,001 --> 00:35:00,801
I don't think so, sir.
679
00:35:01,081 --> 00:35:02,161
The hole was
splintered outward.
680
00:35:02,441 --> 00:35:04,081
One of the boxes seemed
to be blown apart.
681
00:35:04,361 --> 00:35:06,561
So there must have been
a bomb in that box.
682
00:35:06,841 --> 00:35:08,361
But who set it?
683
00:35:08,681 --> 00:35:10,761
And what happened
to the bloody gold?
684
00:35:14,721 --> 00:35:16,681
According to records,
four strongboxes,
685
00:35:16,961 --> 00:35:18,561
each containing
60 pounds of gold,
686
00:35:18,841 --> 00:35:20,601
were removed from
the Treasury in Kingston,
687
00:35:20,881 --> 00:35:23,161
then taken to the train
in an armored wagon.
688
00:35:23,441 --> 00:35:25,561
What then?
689
00:35:25,841 --> 00:35:27,561
The strongboxes
were placed in a safe
690
00:35:27,841 --> 00:35:31,401
to which only the rail guard
knew the combination.
691
00:35:31,721 --> 00:35:32,761
The key to the strongboxes
692
00:35:33,041 --> 00:35:34,561
was then entrusted
to Mortimer Shanly
693
00:35:34,841 --> 00:35:36,241
after he showed
the letter of authority
694
00:35:36,561 --> 00:35:39,121
to the Treasury officials.
695
00:35:39,401 --> 00:35:40,921
Then the strongboxes
were accompanied
696
00:35:41,201 --> 00:35:42,801
by Shanly
and the rail guard
697
00:35:43,081 --> 00:35:45,041
until the train
reached Union Station.
698
00:35:45,321 --> 00:35:48,121
Could Shanly have stolen
the gold after that?
699
00:35:48,401 --> 00:35:49,921
Unlikely.
700
00:35:50,201 --> 00:35:51,801
Why would Shanly
put the strongboxes
701
00:35:52,081 --> 00:35:53,201
on board the Elvira May
702
00:35:53,521 --> 00:35:56,561
if he had already
removed the gold?
703
00:35:56,841 --> 00:35:58,441
Sirs, the rail guard
from Grand Trunk
704
00:35:58,761 --> 00:36:00,801
who oversaw the shipment
is here.
705
00:36:01,081 --> 00:36:03,001
Ah.
706
00:36:03,281 --> 00:36:05,041
Were you guarding
the baggage car the whole time?
707
00:36:05,321 --> 00:36:06,281
Most of the time.
708
00:36:06,601 --> 00:36:08,601
Mr. Shanly told me
to get dinner at one point.
709
00:36:08,881 --> 00:36:12,081
Then about Port Hope, I came
down with a case of potty trots.
710
00:36:12,361 --> 00:36:14,401
But there was always
someone there.
711
00:36:14,721 --> 00:36:16,041
We all took our turns.
712
00:36:16,321 --> 00:36:17,281
All?
713
00:36:17,601 --> 00:36:19,961
Me, Shanly,
and the other guy.
714
00:36:20,241 --> 00:36:21,721
What other guy?
715
00:36:22,001 --> 00:36:23,601
I don't remember his name.
716
00:36:23,881 --> 00:36:26,041
Do you remember anything
specific about him?
717
00:36:26,321 --> 00:36:27,761
He was nice.
718
00:36:28,041 --> 00:36:29,881
Shared some of his
candy treats with me.
719
00:36:30,161 --> 00:36:31,681
We talked a bit.
720
00:36:31,961 --> 00:36:35,721
As I recall,
he had a bit of a stutter.
721
00:36:36,001 --> 00:36:38,801
Mr. Shanly intended to c-claim
ministerial prerogative,
722
00:36:39,081 --> 00:36:42,361
but this was always
of questionable legality.
723
00:36:42,681 --> 00:36:45,601
- So you didn't steal the gold?
- How could I?
724
00:36:45,881 --> 00:36:47,401
It was locked up in that safe.
725
00:36:47,721 --> 00:36:49,161
I didn't have
the c-combination.
726
00:36:49,441 --> 00:36:52,281
But the safe was opened while
you were in the baggage car.
727
00:36:52,601 --> 00:36:55,001
You could have noted
the combination, Mr. Cheevers.
728
00:36:55,281 --> 00:36:56,681
There was a guard
at all times.
729
00:36:56,961 --> 00:36:58,401
Mr. Shanly was there.
730
00:36:58,721 --> 00:37:01,041
They didn't leave
to have dinner?
731
00:37:01,321 --> 00:37:03,961
And I believe you fed
the guard laxatives
732
00:37:04,241 --> 00:37:06,721
in the form of candy.
733
00:37:07,001 --> 00:37:09,641
No, Mr. Cheevers, I believe
there was a period of time
734
00:37:09,921 --> 00:37:11,881
when you were alone
in that baggage car.
735
00:37:12,161 --> 00:37:14,321
And a time when Shanly
was alone in there.
736
00:37:14,641 --> 00:37:16,801
He stole the gold.
737
00:37:17,081 --> 00:37:20,721
No, sir.
It was you.
738
00:37:21,001 --> 00:37:22,401
When Shanly and the guard
were gone,
739
00:37:22,721 --> 00:37:24,361
you opened the safe
740
00:37:24,681 --> 00:37:27,961
and removed the strongboxes
filled with the gold.
741
00:37:28,241 --> 00:37:29,801
You then replaced
those strongboxes
742
00:37:30,081 --> 00:37:32,841
with identical ones
filled with bricks.
743
00:37:33,121 --> 00:37:36,001
You then took the original
strongboxes filled with the gold
744
00:37:36,281 --> 00:37:39,121
and put them back
in the shipping crate.
745
00:37:39,401 --> 00:37:41,361
Bravo, Detective.
746
00:37:41,681 --> 00:37:45,521
You make it sound s-so easy,
I almost wish I'd done it.
747
00:37:45,801 --> 00:37:48,041
Do you really think that
I'd have spent the last 34 years
748
00:37:48,321 --> 00:37:49,441
in a boring government job
749
00:37:49,761 --> 00:37:53,721
if I had $1 million of gold
at my d-d-disposal?
750
00:37:58,721 --> 00:38:00,401
Sir,
751
00:38:00,721 --> 00:38:02,441
we've struck gold,
so to speak.
752
00:38:02,761 --> 00:38:05,561
We found these
in Cheevers' basement.
753
00:38:11,161 --> 00:38:14,041
I see you've been
to my house.
754
00:38:14,321 --> 00:38:17,441
You sawed through the boxes
once you got them home.
755
00:38:17,761 --> 00:38:19,881
What choice did I have?
756
00:38:20,161 --> 00:38:21,201
That's right.
757
00:38:21,521 --> 00:38:25,921
Mr. Shanly had the key
to these strongboxes.
758
00:38:26,201 --> 00:38:29,521
You have the key
to these boxes?
759
00:38:29,801 --> 00:38:33,881
Why not put your theory
to the test?
760
00:38:53,241 --> 00:38:54,321
These bars are
made of lead.
761
00:38:58,281 --> 00:39:02,321
Disappointing, isn't it?
762
00:39:02,641 --> 00:39:05,321
Try s-s-sawing through them
for two weeks
763
00:39:05,641 --> 00:39:07,241
and see how you feel.
764
00:39:07,561 --> 00:39:09,081
And then try doing it again,
765
00:39:09,361 --> 00:39:11,681
just in case the first
was an anomaly.
766
00:39:14,281 --> 00:39:17,801
I obviously
didn't steal any gold.
767
00:39:18,081 --> 00:39:20,081
So what's the charge?
768
00:39:20,361 --> 00:39:22,041
Murder.
769
00:39:22,321 --> 00:39:23,761
Murder?
770
00:39:24,041 --> 00:39:27,121
I-I didn't kill Shanly.
771
00:39:27,401 --> 00:39:29,441
I was nowhere near
the d-docks that night.
772
00:39:29,761 --> 00:39:31,961
Perhaps, but in order
for your plan to work,
773
00:39:32,241 --> 00:39:34,881
you needed Shanly
to disappear permanently.
774
00:39:35,161 --> 00:39:38,401
That's why you loaded
a strongbox with a time bomb,
775
00:39:38,721 --> 00:39:41,321
believing Shanly would sail
on the Elvira May.
776
00:39:41,641 --> 00:39:42,761
You have no evidence.
777
00:39:43,041 --> 00:39:44,801
We found one
of the strongboxes
778
00:39:45,081 --> 00:39:46,521
blown apart
on the lake floor.
779
00:39:46,801 --> 00:39:51,001
People died when the Elvira May
went down, Mr. Cheevers.
780
00:39:53,881 --> 00:39:57,001
First bricks, now lead.
Where's the bloody gold?
781
00:39:57,281 --> 00:39:58,881
Could a rail guard
have taken it?
782
00:39:59,161 --> 00:40:01,001
No, I believe
it was Mr. Shanly.
783
00:40:01,281 --> 00:40:02,401
But you said it wasn't him.
784
00:40:02,721 --> 00:40:03,681
Yes, I know, sir.
785
00:40:03,961 --> 00:40:06,161
At first, I thought
it didn't make sense
786
00:40:06,441 --> 00:40:07,921
that Shanly
would knowingly ship
787
00:40:08,201 --> 00:40:09,681
the strongboxes
filled with bricks.
788
00:40:09,961 --> 00:40:11,401
But it makes perfect sense
789
00:40:11,721 --> 00:40:13,641
if he thought his mission
was compromised.
790
00:40:13,921 --> 00:40:15,321
You think he knew
that Cheevers
791
00:40:15,641 --> 00:40:16,961
was going to make a play
for the gold?
792
00:40:17,241 --> 00:40:19,641
- Not Cheevers.
- A spy.
793
00:40:19,921 --> 00:40:20,881
Right?
794
00:40:21,161 --> 00:40:22,881
He thought an American spy
was on to the plan.
795
00:40:23,161 --> 00:40:24,841
And what better way
to flush out a spy
796
00:40:25,121 --> 00:40:27,081
than to go ahead with the plan
as intended
797
00:40:27,361 --> 00:40:29,721
but substitute
the lead bars for gold.
798
00:40:30,001 --> 00:40:31,681
Stash the gold
somewhere safe,
799
00:40:31,961 --> 00:40:33,921
get it to the Confederates
another day.
800
00:40:34,201 --> 00:40:35,961
Where the hell
did he stash it?
801
00:40:36,241 --> 00:40:37,361
And how did he do it?
802
00:40:37,681 --> 00:40:39,401
The same way
that Cheevers did.
803
00:40:39,721 --> 00:40:42,641
Mr. Shanly observed
the combination to the safe,
804
00:40:42,921 --> 00:40:44,081
as did Cheevers.
805
00:40:44,361 --> 00:40:46,321
Later that night,
when the others were at dinner,
806
00:40:46,641 --> 00:40:49,361
Shanly removed the strongboxes
containing the gold,
807
00:40:49,681 --> 00:40:51,001
but instead of using
a shipping crate
808
00:40:51,281 --> 00:40:52,321
as Cheevers did,
809
00:40:52,641 --> 00:40:55,641
he used the coffin
of the fictitious soldier.
810
00:40:58,561 --> 00:41:00,241
So Shanly thought
he was compromised,
811
00:41:00,561 --> 00:41:02,201
so he brought along
lead bars in a coffin.
812
00:41:02,521 --> 00:41:03,681
Cheevers wants
to steal the gold,
813
00:41:03,961 --> 00:41:06,401
so he brings along
four strongboxes of bricks
814
00:41:06,721 --> 00:41:07,641
in a shipping crate?
815
00:41:07,921 --> 00:41:09,001
Yes.
816
00:41:09,281 --> 00:41:12,121
Cheevers thinks the gold is
in the crate,
817
00:41:12,401 --> 00:41:14,841
but Shanly has it
in the coffin.
818
00:41:15,121 --> 00:41:18,361
So, gentlemen,
where the hell is the coffin?
819
00:41:18,681 --> 00:41:22,801
Mr. Meyers, I believe
I know where it is.
820
00:41:23,081 --> 00:41:26,201
Jerod Hampson
and Lynden Grove.
821
00:41:26,521 --> 00:41:28,521
Lynden is a small town
just west of Hamilton.
822
00:41:28,801 --> 00:41:29,961
The rail line runs through it.
823
00:41:30,241 --> 00:41:31,961
What's Grove then?
824
00:41:39,321 --> 00:41:41,081
Sirs, would anybody else
like to--
825
00:41:41,361 --> 00:41:43,721
Come on.
Hurry up there, son.
826
00:42:01,801 --> 00:42:04,761
Is this what you're
looking for, Mr. Meyers?
827
00:42:15,641 --> 00:42:18,001
A million dollars in gold.
828
00:42:18,281 --> 00:42:20,801
Actually it's only worth
about $370,000 now, Murdoch.
829
00:42:21,081 --> 00:42:22,681
Market value of gold
has diminished somewhat
830
00:42:22,961 --> 00:42:24,201
since the Civil War.
831
00:42:24,521 --> 00:42:25,841
And what's the government
going to do
832
00:42:26,121 --> 00:42:27,601
with all of this
found money?
833
00:42:27,881 --> 00:42:30,321
- Oh, well, that's top secret.
- Really?
834
00:42:30,641 --> 00:42:31,961
Not really, no.
I have no idea.
835
00:42:32,241 --> 00:42:33,201
That's not my job.
836
00:42:33,521 --> 00:42:36,161
What exactly is your job,
Mr. Meyers?
837
00:42:36,441 --> 00:42:38,201
Well, that is top secret.
838
00:42:42,681 --> 00:42:44,001
Well, you found the gold,
Murdoch,
839
00:42:44,281 --> 00:42:46,921
but you've still to solve the
murders of Shanly and Jacobson.
840
00:42:47,201 --> 00:42:48,841
Yes, I've been giving that
some thought, sir.
841
00:42:49,121 --> 00:42:50,001
No doubt.
842
00:42:50,281 --> 00:42:52,201
Well, sir,
I've been considering
843
00:42:52,521 --> 00:42:54,641
Prime Minister Laurier's
question.
844
00:42:54,921 --> 00:42:57,081
What was a boat that was headed
to St. Catharines
845
00:42:57,361 --> 00:42:58,681
doing in American waters,
846
00:42:58,961 --> 00:43:02,881
unless it was headed
to America?
847
00:43:03,161 --> 00:43:05,681
There was a Union spy
on the Elvira May.
848
00:43:05,961 --> 00:43:08,241
He killed Shanly,
left him at the docks,
849
00:43:08,561 --> 00:43:10,201
took control of the boat,
and headed to America.
850
00:43:10,521 --> 00:43:11,561
Exactly, George.
851
00:43:11,841 --> 00:43:14,601
And I believe that Union spy
was Bertrand Jacobson.
852
00:43:14,881 --> 00:43:15,801
Why him?
853
00:43:16,081 --> 00:43:17,841
He knew of the plans
to ship the gold.
854
00:43:18,121 --> 00:43:20,041
His wife told me that he fought
in the Union Army
855
00:43:20,321 --> 00:43:21,321
but switched sides.
856
00:43:21,641 --> 00:43:22,641
I don't think he switched sides.
857
00:43:22,921 --> 00:43:25,081
I believe he became a spy
for the Union Army.
858
00:43:25,361 --> 00:43:27,361
And Shanly's killer
was left-handed.
859
00:43:27,681 --> 00:43:29,641
Jacobson was also left-handed.
860
00:43:29,921 --> 00:43:33,641
George, take some of the men
over to the Jacobson property.
861
00:43:33,921 --> 00:43:35,081
I believe you'll find
the ball--
862
00:43:35,361 --> 00:43:37,041
Ball from a Griswold
and Gunnison revolver.
863
00:43:37,321 --> 00:43:38,841
Sir, right away.
864
00:43:39,121 --> 00:43:40,521
So who killed Jacobson?
865
00:43:40,801 --> 00:43:42,201
Colonel Grodin.
866
00:43:42,521 --> 00:43:44,201
You were the Confederate agent
867
00:43:44,521 --> 00:43:48,881
awaiting that shipment of gold
in St. Catharines, weren't you?
868
00:43:49,161 --> 00:43:51,641
I know what
you are thinking.
869
00:43:51,921 --> 00:43:54,721
I did not murder Jacobson.
870
00:43:57,001 --> 00:43:58,721
I've noticed that
you choose your words
871
00:43:59,001 --> 00:44:01,401
very carefully, Colonel.
872
00:44:01,721 --> 00:44:04,881
Murder, that's cowardly.
873
00:44:05,161 --> 00:44:08,401
A Southern gentleman
does not commit murder.
874
00:44:08,721 --> 00:44:12,561
But he can kill with honor,
can't he?
875
00:44:17,001 --> 00:44:18,801
This is a ball
876
00:44:19,081 --> 00:44:23,081
that my constables found
on Jacobson's property.
877
00:44:23,361 --> 00:44:26,241
We've tested it, and it matches
Jacobson's pistol.
878
00:44:26,561 --> 00:44:28,361
Is that so?
879
00:44:28,681 --> 00:44:31,681
It was found roughly
where you were standing
880
00:44:31,961 --> 00:44:34,121
when you shot
Bertrand Jacobson.
881
00:44:34,401 --> 00:44:38,521
You challenged him
to a duel, didn't you?
882
00:44:38,801 --> 00:44:41,201
I did nothing of the kind.
883
00:44:41,521 --> 00:44:43,041
No.
884
00:44:43,321 --> 00:44:44,521
That's your answer?
885
00:44:44,801 --> 00:44:48,921
Would you stake your honor
as a gentleman on that?
886
00:44:53,681 --> 00:44:56,441
We agreed to fire
at the count of three.
887
00:44:56,761 --> 00:44:58,241
He fired first.
888
00:44:58,561 --> 00:44:59,401
And missed?
889
00:44:59,721 --> 00:45:01,601
No.
890
00:45:01,881 --> 00:45:04,121
I dodged at the count of two.
891
00:45:04,401 --> 00:45:05,961
I knew he would cheat.
892
00:45:06,241 --> 00:45:08,241
He was a Union man,
after all.
893
00:45:08,561 --> 00:45:12,121
How did you know
he was a Union man?
894
00:45:12,401 --> 00:45:17,001
Jacobson told me that Shanly
went down on the Elvira May.
895
00:45:17,281 --> 00:45:19,041
Now, why would he lie
about that
896
00:45:19,321 --> 00:45:22,601
unless he was the son of a bitch
who killed him?
897
00:45:22,881 --> 00:45:24,921
And why would Jacobson
kill Shanly
898
00:45:25,201 --> 00:45:28,281
unless he was
a goddamn Union spy?
899
00:45:28,601 --> 00:45:31,721
That's why I killed Jacobson.
900
00:45:34,041 --> 00:45:36,801
Well, the country's safe
from invasion,
901
00:45:37,081 --> 00:45:39,121
and you've solved
two murders in one go.
902
00:45:39,401 --> 00:45:40,881
You'll sleep well tonight,
me old mucker.
903
00:45:41,161 --> 00:45:43,081
Yes, sir.
I believe I will.
904
00:45:43,361 --> 00:45:45,241
One thing that puzzles me.
905
00:45:45,561 --> 00:45:48,281
How did you know
that Jacobson was a lefty?
906
00:45:48,601 --> 00:45:51,241
Well, I surmised that only
a left-handed shooter would have
907
00:45:51,561 --> 00:45:55,121
exposed his left underarm
to Grodin's line of fire.
908
00:45:55,401 --> 00:46:01,361
In other words, you assumed
your conclusion in your premise.
909
00:46:01,681 --> 00:46:04,401
You just begged the question,
Murdoch.
910
00:46:04,721 --> 00:46:07,561
Yes, sir, I did.
911
00:46:09,401 --> 00:46:11,921
Oh.
912
00:46:18,681 --> 00:46:20,641
- Prime Minister.
- Detective Murdoch.
913
00:46:20,921 --> 00:46:22,601
- Inspector.
- Sir.
914
00:46:22,881 --> 00:46:25,001
I wanted to thank you
personally.
915
00:46:25,281 --> 00:46:27,201
Your country owes you
a great debt.
916
00:46:27,521 --> 00:46:29,721
Thank you, sir.
917
00:46:30,001 --> 00:46:32,041
Gentlemen.
918
00:46:34,121 --> 00:46:35,281
You realize, of course,
919
00:46:35,601 --> 00:46:38,001
the country can never really
know the debt it owes you.
920
00:46:38,281 --> 00:46:41,121
I'm aware of that,
Mr. Meyers.
921
00:46:41,401 --> 00:46:43,001
Ah, excellent.
Till we meet again?
922
00:46:43,281 --> 00:46:47,841
Oddly, this time, Mr. Meyers,
I look forward to it.
