00:00:52,020 --> 00:00:53,988
- Now, Henry.
- Sir, I...
3
00:00:54,022 --> 00:00:56,491
It's all right. Don't be afraid.
4
00:00:58,427 --> 00:01:00,728
- Ha, ha, ha!
- What's that, sir?
5
00:01:00,763 --> 00:01:03,898
Something I've been experimenting with.
6
00:01:03,932 --> 00:01:06,066
It's an Induction Balance Machine.
7
00:01:06,101 --> 00:01:08,635
Okay, sir. And it turns on lights, does it?
8
00:01:08,670 --> 00:01:10,604
'Cause, we have switches for that...
9
00:01:10,638 --> 00:01:13,774
- It's capable of far more than that, Henry.
- Sir?
10
00:01:13,841 --> 00:01:17,311
- It seems there's been a... Sweet mother of... !
- You see,
11
00:01:17,345 --> 00:01:20,947
it can detect metal. It could
be useful in gathering evidence.
12
00:01:20,981 --> 00:01:23,449
Sir, make it stop... please.
13
00:01:25,452 --> 00:01:28,854
- What have you, George?
- Sir,
14
00:01:28,922 --> 00:01:31,924
there's been a murder at the Palace Hotel.
15
00:01:54,655 --> 00:01:57,456
(knocking) Toronto Constabulary!
16
00:01:57,523 --> 00:02:00,559
In a minute.
17
00:02:00,627 --> 00:02:03,929
What the devil... ? (knocking)
18
00:02:03,997 --> 00:02:08,067
Stop knocking, for the love of God!
19
00:02:11,137 --> 00:02:13,104
Detective Murdoch, Toronto Constabulary.
20
00:02:13,171 --> 00:02:15,272
Yes. You've made that deafeningly clear.
21
00:02:15,340 --> 00:02:18,743
- We've had a call.
- What the devil?
22
00:02:18,811 --> 00:02:22,346
- Reginald! My God, Reginald.
- Please. Please.
23
00:02:22,414 --> 00:02:25,116
Don't touch the body. Do
you know who this man is?
24
00:02:25,183 --> 00:02:28,184
His name is Reginald Mayfair.
25
00:02:28,252 --> 00:02:31,154
- He was a friend.
- And you are?
26
00:02:31,188 --> 00:02:35,158
Churchill. Winston Churchill.
27
00:02:42,448 --> 00:02:45,417
What happened here last
night, Mr. Churchill?
28
00:02:45,485 --> 00:02:48,220
I... I don't know.
29
00:02:48,255 --> 00:02:52,157
- We went for drinks last night.
- And... ?
30
00:02:52,225 --> 00:02:54,893
That's all I remember.
31
00:02:54,927 --> 00:02:56,895
Doctor?
32
00:02:56,929 --> 00:02:59,597
Rigor mortis is just setting in.
33
00:02:59,664 --> 00:03:02,733
Death would have occurred
sometime last night. He suffered
34
00:03:02,801 --> 00:03:04,936
a superficial wound to the forearm.
35
00:03:04,970 --> 00:03:07,338
But that's not what killed him.
36
00:03:07,373 --> 00:03:09,707
It looks like he was killed by a knife.
37
00:03:09,775 --> 00:03:11,708
A very large knife.
38
00:03:11,742 --> 00:03:13,743
Possibly even a sword.
39
00:03:13,811 --> 00:03:15,345
A sword?
40
00:03:15,380 --> 00:03:19,082
Sir.
41
00:03:19,117 --> 00:03:21,518
I found this in the bedroom.
42
00:03:22,987 --> 00:03:24,955
Mr. Churchill,
43
00:03:24,989 --> 00:03:27,723
I'm afraid you are going to
have to come down to the station.
44
00:03:36,266 --> 00:03:38,834
Murdoch! You've got Winston
Churchill locked up in our cells!
45
00:03:38,868 --> 00:03:42,571
- He's awaiting my interview, sir. He's a suspect in the case.
- A suspect?
46
00:03:42,605 --> 00:03:45,140
A suspect? He's Winston bloody Churchill.
47
00:03:45,174 --> 00:03:47,442
He's in town to deliver a lecture tonight.
48
00:03:47,476 --> 00:03:49,610
He may not make his lecture, sir.
49
00:03:49,645 --> 00:03:51,913
The murder weapon may be a sword,
50
00:03:51,948 --> 00:03:54,782
and a bloody sword was found
in Mr. Churchill's room.
51
00:03:54,817 --> 00:03:56,043
What does he say about it?
52
00:03:56,044 --> 00:03:58,188
He doesn't remember a
thing. He'd been drinking.
53
00:03:58,587 --> 00:04:01,888
I've been there. Trust me,
Murdoch. Murder isn't in the man.
54
00:04:01,923 --> 00:04:04,058
- I've read his stuff.
- As have I, sir.
55
00:04:04,092 --> 00:04:07,627
All of the newspapers carried his
account of his escape from the Boers.
56
00:04:07,662 --> 00:04:10,530
Oh, everyone goes on and on about
his escape from the bloody Boers.
57
00:04:10,565 --> 00:04:12,866
It's his battle stories you should read.
58
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:15,101
They send shivers down your spine.
59
00:04:15,135 --> 00:04:17,236
Did you know he was in the
cavalry charge at Omdurman?
60
00:04:17,271 --> 00:04:20,139
400 Lancers against 3,000 crazed Dervishes.
61
00:04:20,174 --> 00:04:23,409
Limbs flying everywhere. Bracing stuff!
62
00:04:25,346 --> 00:04:28,281
You don't suppose he'd be willing
to sign my autograph book, do you?
63
00:04:32,918 --> 00:04:35,753
Reginald Mayfair and I met in the Sudan.
64
00:04:35,788 --> 00:04:39,358
He was with the infantry.
I was with the cavalry.
65
00:04:39,425 --> 00:04:42,760
After the campaign, he emigrated to Canada.
66
00:04:42,828 --> 00:04:45,130
Naturally we arranged to meet up
67
00:04:45,198 --> 00:04:47,699
once I arrived in Toronto.
68
00:04:47,733 --> 00:04:49,801
Mr. Churchill,
69
00:04:49,835 --> 00:04:51,836
what can you tell us about last night?
70
00:04:51,904 --> 00:04:54,706
We met at my hotel.
71
00:04:54,773 --> 00:04:57,241
We had brandy and cigars.
72
00:04:57,275 --> 00:05:01,746
Then we went to Reginald's club and...
73
00:05:01,814 --> 00:05:05,482
That's it? That's all you remember?
74
00:05:05,517 --> 00:05:08,451
Until I was awakened by
your knock this morning.
75
00:05:10,788 --> 00:05:13,456
- The sword in your room?
- I've never seen it before.
76
00:05:13,525 --> 00:05:15,458
Gentlemen...
77
00:05:15,527 --> 00:05:17,460
Reginald was my friend.
78
00:05:17,529 --> 00:05:19,529
I would never hurt him,
79
00:05:19,596 --> 00:05:20,488
let alone kill him.
80
00:05:20,489 --> 00:05:22,933
We have no reason to
doubt you, Mr. Churchill.
81
00:05:23,099 --> 00:05:26,468
Nevertheless, until we learn
more about last night's events,
82
00:05:26,537 --> 00:05:29,071
you will be required to stay here.
83
00:05:29,139 --> 00:05:31,140
I should cancel tonight's lecture.
84
00:05:31,207 --> 00:05:33,910
Nonsense. We'll have this
sorted out in no time.
85
00:05:33,977 --> 00:05:37,145
- Sir...
- I have tickets, Murdoch.
86
00:05:37,212 --> 00:05:40,214
If you remember anything,
87
00:05:40,282 --> 00:05:42,250
- anything at all...
- Of course.
88
00:05:42,317 --> 00:05:44,485
Detective,
89
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,255
I want Reginald's killer
brought to justice.
90
00:05:47,322 --> 00:05:50,725
I care more about that than
proving my own innocence.
91
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,726
Mr. Churchill...
92
00:05:52,794 --> 00:05:55,132
I've collected some notable
signatures over the years
93
00:05:55,133 --> 00:05:56,385
and it would be a great honour...
94
00:05:56,386 --> 00:05:59,038
You wish me to sign your autograph book?
95
00:05:59,734 --> 00:06:01,501
If that's no trouble.
96
00:06:01,536 --> 00:06:03,670
I would have thought the
collection of autographs
97
00:06:03,704 --> 00:06:05,905
more the province of pimply boys
98
00:06:05,973 --> 00:06:08,942
and silly girls than a
police inspector tasked
99
00:06:08,976 --> 00:06:11,511
with determining the identity of
the man who murdered my friend!
100
00:06:11,579 --> 00:06:14,414
Why, you... (knocking)
101
00:06:14,449 --> 00:06:16,416
Sirs.
102
00:06:16,451 --> 00:06:18,785
I've compared the fingermarks on the
sword to those of Mr. Churchill here.
103
00:06:18,792 --> 00:06:20,893
- And?
- They're a match.
104
00:06:20,894 --> 00:06:21,894
Impossible!
105
00:06:22,355 --> 00:06:24,457
He was my friend.
106
00:06:24,524 --> 00:06:27,226
Be that as it may, facts are facts.
107
00:06:27,260 --> 00:06:29,462
Unless you can explain to us how
that sword got into your hand,
108
00:06:29,529 --> 00:06:31,863
then you're looking good for the murder.
109
00:06:31,931 --> 00:06:35,766
Perhaps I was a little hasty in suggesting
that you might make that lecture tonight.
110
00:06:35,801 --> 00:06:38,536
I suggest you sit back down.
111
00:06:43,775 --> 00:06:45,743
He was a young man.
112
00:06:45,777 --> 00:06:48,813
Not a lot of adipose tissue
to insulate the corpse.
113
00:06:48,847 --> 00:06:50,814
And given the nature of his wound,
114
00:06:50,848 --> 00:06:53,638
I think we can assume that death
would have followed within minutes,
115
00:06:53,642 --> 00:06:57,921
- if not seconds, after the blow.
- And?
116
00:06:57,875 --> 00:07:00,544
So assuming a constant room
temperature of 70 degrees,
117
00:07:00,578 --> 00:07:02,646
I've determined that the
fatal incident occurred
118
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,381
between 1:30 and 2:00 last night.
119
00:07:05,416 --> 00:07:07,417
And the wounds?
120
00:07:07,451 --> 00:07:10,686
As you know, there were
two. The one to the forearm
121
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,322
is superficial, but it
would have been bloody.
122
00:07:13,357 --> 00:07:16,092
He also has some bruising
around his left eye.
123
00:07:16,126 --> 00:07:18,694
- Suggesting he was in a fist fight.
- Yes.
124
00:07:18,728 --> 00:07:20,996
But given the extent of the contusion,
125
00:07:21,031 --> 00:07:24,066
I'd estimate that occurred at
least an hour before his death.
126
00:07:24,100 --> 00:07:26,768
And the fatal wound?
127
00:07:26,802 --> 00:07:28,937
Yes. I think you'll find
this very interesting.
128
00:07:28,971 --> 00:07:32,407
The incision is two inches in width.
129
00:07:32,442 --> 00:07:35,444
The weapon entered just
below the sternum, and exited
130
00:07:35,478 --> 00:07:37,711
between the 7th and 8th costal.
131
00:07:37,779 --> 00:07:40,247
He was run through!
132
00:07:40,282 --> 00:07:42,550
Whoever did this certainly
meant to kill him.
133
00:07:42,617 --> 00:07:46,320
Then we know for certain the
murder weapon was a sword.
134
00:07:47,422 --> 00:07:50,924
Thank you.
135
00:07:53,627 --> 00:07:56,963
- Ah, so that's the murder weapon, is it?
- Possibly, sir.
136
00:07:57,030 --> 00:07:58,931
But have a look at this.
137
00:07:58,966 --> 00:08:01,968
If this sword was used
to run the man through,
138
00:08:02,035 --> 00:08:05,505
wouldn't there be blood across the
entire width, not just the edge?
139
00:08:05,573 --> 00:08:08,874
- Perhaps he wiped it clean?
- Then why not wipe the entire sword?
140
00:08:08,942 --> 00:08:10,875
He was drunk.
141
00:08:10,943 --> 00:08:13,042
Sirs, Churchill's valet is here.
142
00:08:13,043 --> 00:08:14,879
He's brought Mr. Churchill
some fresh clothes.
143
00:08:14,914 --> 00:08:17,048
He has a bloody valet, does he?
144
00:08:17,117 --> 00:08:19,050
Sir, I can't help but notice...
145
00:08:19,119 --> 00:08:21,920
it seems you've turned against your hero.
146
00:08:21,988 --> 00:08:24,856
I'd forgotten what an
arrogant toff he actually is.
147
00:08:24,924 --> 00:08:27,225
He travels with bloody
servants, for God sakes.
148
00:08:27,292 --> 00:08:29,827
Real men carry their own bags, Murdoch.
149
00:08:29,894 --> 00:08:32,763
- Uh...
- Thank you, sir.
150
00:08:32,831 --> 00:08:34,765
Ahem.
151
00:08:34,833 --> 00:08:36,174
We met in the Sudan two years ago.
152
00:08:36,175 --> 00:08:38,225
I've worked for him since that time.
153
00:08:38,504 --> 00:08:42,139
During that time, have you
ever known him to experience
154
00:08:42,173 --> 00:08:45,275
alcohol-induced memory loss?
155
00:08:45,343 --> 00:08:49,045
Mr. Churchill doesn't remember
anything of last night's events.
156
00:08:49,113 --> 00:08:52,715
- None at all?
- None that he'll admit to.
157
00:08:52,750 --> 00:08:56,719
Well, I will say this. If Mr.
Churchill tells you he cannot remember,
158
00:08:56,787 --> 00:09:00,256
then you can take him at
his word. He never lies.
159
00:09:00,323 --> 00:09:04,092
Not even to spare one's feelings.
160
00:09:04,161 --> 00:09:06,094
Um...
161
00:09:06,129 --> 00:09:08,631
What can you tell me about
last night's events? Not much,
162
00:09:08,698 --> 00:09:12,834
I am afraid. I escorted Mr. Churchill
and Mr. Mayfair to the Albany Club.
163
00:09:12,869 --> 00:09:15,203
Mr. Churchill dismissed me after that.
164
00:09:15,237 --> 00:09:17,205
What time was this?
165
00:09:17,239 --> 00:09:19,474
Approximately nine o'clock.
166
00:09:24,146 --> 00:09:26,847
Thank you, Mr. Ahmadi.
167
00:09:26,915 --> 00:09:28,849
The constable will take the
rest of your information.
168
00:09:28,884 --> 00:09:31,718
And remember, if there's
anything else that you recall,
169
00:09:31,752 --> 00:09:35,489
- please don't hesitate to contact me.
- Of course.
170
00:09:37,458 --> 00:09:40,561
Sir, according to guests
171
00:09:40,595 --> 00:09:43,463
staying next to Churchill's
suite, there was loud voices
172
00:09:43,498 --> 00:09:46,332
and clashing sounds at around 1:45 AM.
173
00:09:46,366 --> 00:09:48,634
We also have a witness who claims
174
00:09:48,669 --> 00:09:50,328
that she saw a man leaving
Churchill's suite
175
00:09:50,329 --> 00:09:52,157
shortly thereafter at 2 AM.
176
00:09:52,162 --> 00:09:55,308
- Did she offer a description?
- Only that he was Negro.
177
00:09:55,342 --> 00:09:58,010
- That narrows the list.
- Excuse me.
178
00:09:58,044 --> 00:10:01,046
I couldn't help but overhear.
179
00:10:01,081 --> 00:10:03,682
I should tell you that Mr.
Churchill's boot man is negro.
180
00:10:03,716 --> 00:10:06,251
His name is Jim Carver.
181
00:10:06,285 --> 00:10:09,821
- Thank you, Mr. Ahmadi.
- Crabtree, find Mr. Carver.
182
00:10:09,855 --> 00:10:13,325
I'd like to take a crack at him.
Oh, and bring the witness in as well.
183
00:10:13,359 --> 00:10:15,427
Sir.
184
00:10:20,798 --> 00:10:22,766
Is that the man that you saw
185
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,269
leaving Mr. Churchill's suite last night?
186
00:10:25,303 --> 00:10:28,706
Yes. That's him.
187
00:10:28,740 --> 00:10:31,375
I didn't kill anybody.
188
00:10:31,409 --> 00:10:34,544
I was just there to polish
Mr. Churchill's boots.
189
00:10:34,578 --> 00:10:37,913
- At two o'clock in the morning?
- He always likes his boots waiting for him
190
00:10:37,948 --> 00:10:41,517
first thing in the morning. I didn't
want to have to get up that early.
191
00:10:41,552 --> 00:10:44,520
- Was Mr. Churchill in his room at the time?
- Yes,
192
00:10:44,555 --> 00:10:45,558
I heard him snoring.
193
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,884
And you didn't notice a
dead body lying on the floor?
194
00:10:48,325 --> 00:10:51,126
Mr. Churchill always leaves
his boots right by the door.
195
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,053
That's where I polished them,
right out in the hallway.
196
00:10:53,054 --> 00:10:54,054
What time was this?
197
00:10:54,330 --> 00:10:57,466
Round about 2:30.
198
00:10:57,500 --> 00:11:02,036
- Not two o'clock?
- No, sir. I was still out at that time.
199
00:11:08,843 --> 00:11:11,845
- It's not him.
- I agree. He's only been in Mr. Churchill's employ
200
00:11:11,913 --> 00:11:14,448
for two weeks. He didn't
even know Reginald Mayfair.
201
00:11:14,483 --> 00:11:16,484
Well, what about the time discrepancy?
202
00:11:16,551 --> 00:11:19,620
Perhaps the witness was in error.
You say she identified Jim Carver
203
00:11:19,688 --> 00:11:22,855
- as the man she saw leaving.
- Yet he's adamant he didn't arrive at the hotel
204
00:11:22,890 --> 00:11:25,625
- until 2:30.
- Sirs.
205
00:11:25,693 --> 00:11:28,728
Sirs, it's Mr. Churchill.
206
00:11:28,796 --> 00:11:32,265
He's demanding an
audience. Demanding, is he?
207
00:11:32,333 --> 00:11:35,101
- I'll give him bloody demanding.
- Sir...
208
00:11:35,169 --> 00:11:38,304
Detective. I've found a clue!
209
00:11:38,371 --> 00:11:40,306
I found this in my pocket.
210
00:11:40,373 --> 00:11:42,675
It's a match cover. What about it?
211
00:11:42,742 --> 00:11:45,177
Look inside.
212
00:11:45,211 --> 00:11:48,441
- Vinwosni.
- It must be a name of some sort.
213
00:11:48,443 --> 00:11:50,916
What kind of name is Vinwosni?
214
00:11:50,983 --> 00:11:54,285
Indian, possibly? I spent some
time in India with the 4th Hussars.
215
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,788
We had a Vosniak, didn't we?
216
00:11:56,855 --> 00:11:59,023
- Yes, sir. Wosniak.
- Wosniak.
217
00:11:59,090 --> 00:12:01,959
Polish chap. Perhaps it's Van Wosni.
218
00:12:01,993 --> 00:12:04,061
Gentlemen, we need to
find this Vinwosni fellow.
219
00:12:04,129 --> 00:12:06,631
He may be able to shed some
light on what happened last night.
220
00:12:11,736 --> 00:12:14,037
Sirs, I was unable to find
anybody by the name of Vinwosni
221
00:12:14,104 --> 00:12:16,039
- on public records.
- It must mean something!
222
00:12:16,106 --> 00:12:18,041
I'm beginning to wonder if
it's not the name of a person,
223
00:12:18,075 --> 00:12:20,477
but of an exotic foreign dish,
224
00:12:20,545 --> 00:12:23,046
- you know...
- So where do we go from here?
225
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,648
- I'll make inquiries at the gentlemen's club.
- Take me with you.
226
00:12:25,682 --> 00:12:27,650
- Not bloody likely.
- Please.
227
00:12:27,684 --> 00:12:30,553
What is the benefit of
keeping me behind bars
228
00:12:30,587 --> 00:12:32,722
while his killer struts about freely?
229
00:12:32,789 --> 00:12:34,724
I'm Winston Churchill.
230
00:12:34,791 --> 00:12:37,360
- I'm hardly going to make a run for it.
- Tell that to the Boers.
231
00:12:37,427 --> 00:12:40,295
That was different! I
was a prisoner of war.
232
00:12:40,330 --> 00:12:43,598
Clearly I'm the most valuable
witness to last night's events.
233
00:12:43,632 --> 00:12:48,002
Retracing our steps might
jar loose fragments of memory.
234
00:12:48,036 --> 00:12:51,172
He has a point, sir.
235
00:12:51,206 --> 00:12:54,676
Thank you, gentlemen.
236
00:12:54,710 --> 00:12:58,011
My good man, will you be so kind
as to fetch my hat and stick?
237
00:13:03,977 --> 00:13:05,977
I appreciate you releasing
me from jail, Detec...
238
00:13:06,011 --> 00:13:09,246
Oh look, a bulldog. I always
thought they should be enshrined
239
00:13:09,281 --> 00:13:11,482
as our national symbol.
240
00:13:11,516 --> 00:13:13,384
- Because of their stubborn tenacity?
- No,
241
00:13:13,418 --> 00:13:15,286
because they look so much like our queen.
242
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,154
Of course,
243
00:13:17,189 --> 00:13:19,156
given my fondness for food and drink,
244
00:13:19,191 --> 00:13:21,157
I may end up looking
like one myself someday.
245
00:13:21,192 --> 00:13:22,626
(yapping)
246
00:13:22,660 --> 00:13:25,629
Anyway, onwards.
247
00:13:25,663 --> 00:13:28,465
I've been here.
248
00:13:28,499 --> 00:13:30,433
Well, yes, I suppose you would have.
249
00:13:30,468 --> 00:13:32,636
The Albany Club is just around the corner.
250
00:13:32,670 --> 00:13:35,505
I'm inside the penumbra
of memory, Detective.
251
00:13:35,539 --> 00:13:37,506
It's coming back to me.
252
00:13:37,540 --> 00:13:40,610
Excellent.
253
00:13:45,649 --> 00:13:48,317
Ah, welcome back, Mr. Churchill.
254
00:13:48,351 --> 00:13:52,154
- Splendid speech, m'boy.
- Gave us genuine pause, it did.
255
00:13:52,188 --> 00:13:55,389
I'm sorry. I don't remember.
256
00:13:55,424 --> 00:13:58,459
Mr. Churchill has no recollection
of last night's events.
257
00:13:58,494 --> 00:14:01,262
- Oh, had a merry one, did you?
- Don't worry, my boy,
258
00:14:01,296 --> 00:14:03,264
we've all been there. (laughter)
259
00:14:03,298 --> 00:14:05,934
If memory serves, you
were halfway there already.
260
00:14:05,968 --> 00:14:09,103
- Gentlemen, what did happen?
- Reginald came in
261
00:14:09,170 --> 00:14:12,673
with Mr. Churchill, and
Edward here shouted out:
262
00:14:12,741 --> 00:14:16,510
"Hail to the men who
exacted Gordon's revenge."
263
00:14:16,577 --> 00:14:18,545
General Gordon. He was the Governor
264
00:14:18,579 --> 00:14:20,514
- in the Sudan back in '84.
- Beheaded, he was.
265
00:14:20,581 --> 00:14:22,382
By the Dervishes.
266
00:14:22,416 --> 00:14:26,052
- Led by the fanatical Mahdi, as I recall.
- It took 13 years,
267
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:30,023
but Lord Kitchener finally defeated
the Dervishes at the battle of Omdurman.
268
00:14:30,090 --> 00:14:33,626
- Was that the revenge to which you were referring?
- Nay.
269
00:14:33,694 --> 00:14:37,363
It was the revenge against the
Mahdi himself that we hailed you for.
270
00:14:37,430 --> 00:14:39,866
But the Mahdi was already dead.
271
00:14:39,933 --> 00:14:43,368
Yes, and after the battle,
Kitchener raided his tomb.
272
00:14:43,435 --> 00:14:45,737
Disinterred his corpse and
had it thrown in the Nile.
273
00:14:45,805 --> 00:14:50,275
But not before he bestowed upon Reginald
the dubious honour of removing his skull.
274
00:14:50,342 --> 00:14:53,244
- Good Lord.
- Kitchener intended to use it
275
00:14:53,312 --> 00:14:55,213
as an inkpot.
276
00:14:55,281 --> 00:14:56,547
We all thought it splendid stuff.
277
00:14:56,548 --> 00:14:59,434
- Tit for tat and all that.
- And I spoke against it.
278
00:14:59,435 --> 00:15:02,186
- You remember?
- No, but it's what I would have done.
279
00:15:02,220 --> 00:15:05,422
You didn't speak against it,
sir. You roared! (laughter)
280
00:15:09,695 --> 00:15:12,362
This act. This act you hail so heartily
281
00:15:12,430 --> 00:15:14,363
was barbarous.
282
00:15:15,231 --> 00:15:16,239
Shameful.
283
00:15:17,902 --> 00:15:20,336
It degraded not just the
men who committed it...
284
00:15:20,404 --> 00:15:22,605
it degraded every man,
285
00:15:22,639 --> 00:15:25,441
woman, and child of the British Empire.
286
00:15:25,509 --> 00:15:28,144
You shamed us, sir.
287
00:15:28,179 --> 00:15:31,613
Yes. It was a shame we deserved.
288
00:15:31,681 --> 00:15:34,717
You spoke about what it was to be British.
289
00:15:34,784 --> 00:15:36,785
How an empire
290
00:15:36,820 --> 00:15:38,787
brings with it not only glory,
291
00:15:38,855 --> 00:15:41,623
but a grave responsibility to
bring civilization to the world.
292
00:15:41,657 --> 00:15:45,927
Barbarism is a trait which
lessens us as a people.
293
00:15:45,961 --> 00:15:49,931
It makes us no better than our enemies.
294
00:15:49,965 --> 00:15:52,566
We are Britons. Not thugs.
295
00:15:52,601 --> 00:15:55,002
We are civilization!
296
00:15:55,037 --> 00:15:56,637
(cheers)
297
00:15:56,881 --> 00:15:59,317
God bless me, I had tears in my eyes.
298
00:15:59,351 --> 00:16:03,424
- Yes. I believe even Reginald was moved.
- Where is young Reggie, anyway?
299
00:16:03,519 --> 00:16:06,289
He's dead. Murdered.
300
00:16:06,324 --> 00:16:08,124
Oh, good God in heaven!
301
00:16:08,159 --> 00:16:10,860
Yes, gentlemen. That is why we are here.
302
00:16:10,894 --> 00:16:13,396
We're trying to piece together
what happened last night.
303
00:16:13,431 --> 00:16:15,765
There's not much to say, I'm afraid.
304
00:16:15,799 --> 00:16:19,468
You and Reginald had
cigars, had a few drinks,
305
00:16:19,502 --> 00:16:21,870
and then left. No hostilities?
306
00:16:21,904 --> 00:16:25,474
- No. Everyone seemed very jolly.
- Mm-hmm.
307
00:16:25,508 --> 00:16:27,376
Do you know where they went?
308
00:16:27,410 --> 00:16:29,511
Did anyone follow them?
309
00:16:29,545 --> 00:16:32,481
Anyone here by the name of Vinwosni?
310
00:16:32,515 --> 00:16:35,816
Vinwosni? What the devil
kind of name is that?
311
00:16:35,851 --> 00:16:39,720
People have the impression
that battle is glorious.
312
00:16:39,754 --> 00:16:42,790
I myself was once invested
in the same impression.
313
00:16:42,824 --> 00:16:46,160
At Omdurman, we faced 50,000 Dervishes
314
00:16:46,195 --> 00:16:49,096
attacking in a front a half-mile wide,
315
00:16:49,130 --> 00:16:51,131
all cheering for God, his prophet
316
00:16:51,165 --> 00:16:53,133
and the Holy Khalifa.
317
00:16:53,167 --> 00:16:56,736
In any other century, it would
have made a terrifying spectacle.
318
00:16:56,804 --> 00:16:58,555
They never stood a chance.
319
00:16:59,431 --> 00:17:02,476
Artillery and maxim
guns tore them to pieces.
320
00:17:02,543 --> 00:17:05,077
They never got closer than 50 yards.
321
00:17:05,145 --> 00:17:07,179
Kitchener then executed
322
00:17:07,214 --> 00:17:09,748
the wounded and dying.
323
00:17:09,782 --> 00:17:14,353
There was no glory in that victory.
324
00:17:14,388 --> 00:17:17,956
What next, Detective? We can't
knock on every door in Toronto
325
00:17:17,991 --> 00:17:20,659
and ask if Reginald and
I dropped in last night.
326
00:17:20,727 --> 00:17:23,528
No. No, we can't. Oh.
327
00:17:23,595 --> 00:17:25,596
- Perhaps a newspaper.
- Ah, good idea.
328
00:17:25,631 --> 00:17:27,365
An advertisement. "50 dollars
329
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,334
for information on the happenstance
330
00:17:29,402 --> 00:17:31,369
of Winston Churchill and his chum... "
331
00:17:31,404 --> 00:17:33,938
No, no. There was an article yesterday
332
00:17:34,006 --> 00:17:36,607
proclaiming your arrival to Toronto.
333
00:17:36,675 --> 00:17:40,344
Perhaps there's also something
about what you were up to last night.
334
00:17:40,378 --> 00:17:42,579
Ah.
335
00:17:48,719 --> 00:17:51,755
Bit of a step down from the front page.
336
00:17:51,822 --> 00:17:54,457
"A society party thrown
by Mrs. Gertrude Miller
337
00:17:54,525 --> 00:17:57,093
was enlivened greatly by the arrival... "
338
00:17:57,161 --> 00:17:59,095
Who is Gertrude Miller?
339
00:17:59,163 --> 00:18:01,564
She's one of Toronto's
leading temperance advocates.
340
00:18:01,631 --> 00:18:04,667
- She just lives on Jarvis, around the corner.
- Brilliant, Detective.
341
00:18:04,734 --> 00:18:06,835
Let's go.
342
00:18:15,978 --> 00:18:18,012
Anything?
343
00:18:20,216 --> 00:18:23,552
(laughter)
344
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,354
Mr. Churchill.
345
00:18:27,422 --> 00:18:29,923
Have you come to apologize?
346
00:18:29,958 --> 00:18:32,025
If... necessary.
347
00:18:35,097 --> 00:18:37,268
I believe I've had quite enough
of your apologies, thank you.
348
00:18:37,269 --> 00:18:38,269
Show them the door.
349
00:18:41,203 --> 00:18:44,605
Well. I confess I'm even more curious
350
00:18:44,672 --> 00:18:46,640
- about what happened last night.
- What,
351
00:18:46,674 --> 00:18:48,709
the slap didn't jar your memory?
352
00:18:48,776 --> 00:18:50,711
Can't we bring her to the station
353
00:18:50,745 --> 00:18:52,946
and extract the information directly?
354
00:18:52,981 --> 00:18:55,749
Her fingernails should be easy to pull out.
355
00:18:55,783 --> 00:18:59,051
No. We have an even better witness.
356
00:19:02,823 --> 00:19:05,524
What else can you tell us, Mr. Purcell?
357
00:19:05,592 --> 00:19:07,827
Well, I was just there to cover the party.
358
00:19:07,861 --> 00:19:09,862
I wasn't expecting to
get much copy out of it.
359
00:19:09,896 --> 00:19:11,897
Then you walked through the door.
360
00:19:11,932 --> 00:19:14,232
Why would I attend a temperance party?
361
00:19:14,266 --> 00:19:16,234
Well, I believe you'd been invited.
362
00:19:16,268 --> 00:19:19,137
At any rate, you and your
friend came in half-drunk,
363
00:19:19,171 --> 00:19:22,406
and when you learned there was
no liquor, you bribed the footman
364
00:19:22,441 --> 00:19:24,242
into fetching a bottle of whiskey.
365
00:19:26,211 --> 00:19:28,813
And what was Mrs.
Miller's reaction to that?
366
00:19:28,848 --> 00:19:31,348
Well, that's when the fun started.
367
00:19:39,824 --> 00:19:41,792
Mr. Churchill.
368
00:19:41,826 --> 00:19:44,528
You've brought whiskey to my party?
369
00:19:44,562 --> 00:19:47,930
I had no choice, madam. There
was none here when we arrived.
370
00:19:47,965 --> 00:19:51,734
I'll have you know that abstention
is the philosophy of this house.
371
00:19:51,769 --> 00:19:54,037
I'm sorry. I was unaware.
372
00:19:54,181 --> 00:19:56,115
- Unaware?
- In my experience,
373
00:19:56,150 --> 00:19:59,318
houses are not generally
capable of philosophy.
374
00:19:59,352 --> 00:20:03,188
But it doesn't surprise me,
given their lack of intellect,
375
00:20:03,222 --> 00:20:06,057
that the best they could
muster would be abstention.
376
00:20:06,092 --> 00:20:08,226
Does not the Bible teach us
377
00:20:08,294 --> 00:20:10,695
that alcohol is the enemy to virtue?
378
00:20:10,729 --> 00:20:12,697
Does not the same Bible
379
00:20:12,731 --> 00:20:15,533
also teach us the virtue
of loving our enemies?
380
00:20:15,567 --> 00:20:18,502
I must insist that you put
down that drink at once.
381
00:20:18,536 --> 00:20:20,404
Very well.
382
00:20:20,438 --> 00:20:23,040
Mr. Churchill, you insult me.
383
00:20:23,108 --> 00:20:25,442
Madam, I insulted only
your bovine philosophy.
384
00:20:25,510 --> 00:20:27,144
If I intended to insult you,
385
00:20:27,179 --> 00:20:29,479
I would have called attention
to your bovine intellect.
386
00:20:29,514 --> 00:20:32,016
But I did insult your house,
387
00:20:32,083 --> 00:20:35,185
and, for that slip of
the tongue, I apologize.
388
00:20:35,219 --> 00:20:38,087
(gasping)
389
00:20:38,122 --> 00:20:40,156
(chuckling)
390
00:20:41,525 --> 00:20:43,827
Well, that solves one mystery.
391
00:20:43,861 --> 00:20:46,762
- What happened after that?
- Well, you both left...
392
00:20:46,797 --> 00:20:48,331
Rather promptly.
393
00:20:48,398 --> 00:20:52,134
- Where did they go?
- I'm sorry, I have no idea.
394
00:20:58,407 --> 00:21:00,943
- Julia.
- William.
395
00:21:00,977 --> 00:21:03,846
I thought you might be interested
to know that Darcy and I
396
00:21:03,913 --> 00:21:06,914
- are due to see the Judge tomorrow.
- About your annulment.
397
00:21:06,949 --> 00:21:10,184
- But I thought that wasn't until next month?
- Darcy wanted it done
398
00:21:10,252 --> 00:21:14,088
before his trip. To allow the gossip
a chance to dissipate in his absence.
399
00:21:14,156 --> 00:21:16,891
So this time tomorrow...
400
00:21:16,959 --> 00:21:20,228
- I'll be a free woman.
- Detective,
401
00:21:20,295 --> 00:21:23,263
I wonder if I might trouble
you for a word. Mr. Churchill,
402
00:21:23,331 --> 00:21:27,234
- how wonderful to see you again!
- Julia, you've met Mr. Churchill before?
403
00:21:27,268 --> 00:21:29,236
Last night.
404
00:21:29,303 --> 00:21:31,471
Berty and Lois took me out to their
club and Mr. Churchill was there.
405
00:21:31,538 --> 00:21:34,941
Or are you still going by
the name Reginald Mayfair?
406
00:21:34,976 --> 00:21:38,244
Unfortunately, Reginald has been killed.
407
00:21:38,278 --> 00:21:40,445
Oh, how dreadful.
408
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,915
I was calling myself Mayfair?
409
00:21:42,983 --> 00:21:46,185
Your friend thought that given your fame,
410
00:21:46,219 --> 00:21:48,587
it would be better to
sully his name than yours.
411
00:21:48,621 --> 00:21:51,456
Do you know what became of them?
412
00:21:51,491 --> 00:21:53,392
I have no memory of last night.
413
00:21:53,426 --> 00:21:55,459
Mr. Churchill and Mr. Mayfair
414
00:21:55,527 --> 00:21:57,828
were having a grand time
impersonating one another.
415
00:21:57,897 --> 00:22:00,965
It was all good fun until the incident.
416
00:22:01,033 --> 00:22:04,568
- The incident?
- Gertrude Miller's husband showed up
417
00:22:04,636 --> 00:22:06,570
just as we were all leaving.
418
00:22:06,605 --> 00:22:08,839
(laughter) Mr. Miller?
419
00:22:08,908 --> 00:22:12,642
- Which one of you is Churchill?
- That would be me.
420
00:22:12,676 --> 00:22:15,979
(shouting)
421
00:22:16,014 --> 00:22:17,948
I'll kill you! I will!
422
00:22:20,184 --> 00:22:22,752
Right.
423
00:22:22,787 --> 00:22:24,754
We'll have to have a
little chat with Mr. Miller.
424
00:22:28,889 --> 00:22:31,257
So you admit to punching Mr. Mayfair.
425
00:22:31,291 --> 00:22:35,161
I thought he'd insulted my wife.
426
00:22:35,195 --> 00:22:39,198
For God sakes, I didn't kill the man.
427
00:22:39,233 --> 00:22:41,200
Is he our man?
428
00:22:41,235 --> 00:22:44,336
- Well, he certainly has the motive.
- Sirs,
429
00:22:44,371 --> 00:22:47,839
Doctor, we contacted Mrs.
Miller. According to her,
430
00:22:47,874 --> 00:22:49,911
Mr. Miller came home
directly after the incident
431
00:22:49,912 --> 00:22:51,489
and was with her the rest of the night.
432
00:22:51,543 --> 00:22:53,645
Well, she would say that, wouldn't she?
433
00:22:53,679 --> 00:22:56,248
Still, it will be a hard alibi to break.
434
00:22:56,282 --> 00:22:59,384
I'm sorry, gentlemen, but
I don't think it was him.
435
00:22:59,418 --> 00:23:01,518
His wife had been insulted.
436
00:23:01,552 --> 00:23:02,940
He felt the need to defend her honour.
437
00:23:02,941 --> 00:23:05,302
He did so by punching the
man he thought responsible.
438
00:23:05,303 --> 00:23:08,058
His anger should have been
ameliorated, not intensified.
439
00:23:08,093 --> 00:23:10,995
- I have to agree.
- So where does that leave us?
440
00:23:11,029 --> 00:23:14,298
Right back where we started, I'm afraid.
441
00:23:14,332 --> 00:23:16,300
With Churchill as our number one suspect.
442
00:23:16,334 --> 00:23:18,769
Well, that suits me fine.
443
00:23:20,705 --> 00:23:22,673
Sir,
444
00:23:22,707 --> 00:23:26,410
the few times I've...
imbibed a little too much,
445
00:23:26,444 --> 00:23:28,845
I must admit to a patchy memory.
446
00:23:28,879 --> 00:23:31,315
But forgetting an entire evening?
447
00:23:31,382 --> 00:23:33,916
- Could he have been drugged?
- It's possible.
448
00:23:33,983 --> 00:23:36,018
He could also be suffering
from what is known
449
00:23:36,052 --> 00:23:37,986
as traumatic amnesia.
450
00:23:38,054 --> 00:23:40,956
Because he witnessed
the murder of his friend.
451
00:23:41,024 --> 00:23:42,991
And the reality was so abhorrent to him,
452
00:23:43,026 --> 00:23:45,361
that his unconscious mind has
blocked out all memory of it.
453
00:23:45,395 --> 00:23:47,775
If that is the case, then
the memory is still there.
454
00:23:47,776 --> 00:23:48,776
You just have to unlock it.
455
00:23:48,898 --> 00:23:50,699
How do we do that?
456
00:23:50,766 --> 00:23:54,803
We'd need him to re-experience
anything associated with last night.
457
00:23:54,870 --> 00:23:56,805
If he has any sensation of familiarity,
458
00:23:56,872 --> 00:23:59,441
ask him the first word that comes to mind.
459
00:23:59,508 --> 00:24:01,476
Sir, here is everything
460
00:24:01,510 --> 00:24:03,821
we found in Mr. Churchill's
suite as of this morning.
461
00:24:03,822 --> 00:24:04,822
Thank you, George.
462
00:24:06,948 --> 00:24:08,915
Mr. Churchill,
463
00:24:08,950 --> 00:24:11,352
look closely at this.
464
00:24:11,419 --> 00:24:14,054
What's the first word
that comes to mind? Shame.
465
00:24:14,121 --> 00:24:17,458
- Shame?
- It's a good cigar. Shame it was wasted.
466
00:24:17,525 --> 00:24:20,126
- Mr. Churchill...
- It was the first thought
467
00:24:20,161 --> 00:24:22,595
- that entered my head.
- Try again.
468
00:24:22,663 --> 00:24:24,797
Concentrate on the cigar.
469
00:24:24,865 --> 00:24:28,334
Relax your mind and say the first Match.
470
00:24:29,370 --> 00:24:32,572
Light. Smoke rings. A cigar
is just a bloody cigar.
471
00:24:34,775 --> 00:24:37,576
Sir. Look here. Paper matches.
472
00:24:37,643 --> 00:24:39,811
This is the type they sell at Murphy's pub.
473
00:24:39,846 --> 00:24:41,813
Murphy's pub?
474
00:24:41,881 --> 00:24:43,815
Do you recognize the name?
475
00:24:43,883 --> 00:24:46,150
I don't know.
476
00:24:46,218 --> 00:24:49,488
- What's the first word that comes to mind?
- Rule.
477
00:24:49,555 --> 00:24:53,091
- Rule?
- Britannia.
478
00:25:03,001 --> 00:25:06,236
You again!
479
00:25:06,271 --> 00:25:08,506
You've got a bloody nerve
480
00:25:08,540 --> 00:25:10,507
- coming back in here again.
- Gentlemen, gentlemen,
481
00:25:10,541 --> 00:25:12,575
Toronto Constabulary.
482
00:25:12,643 --> 00:25:16,413
- Still hiding behind John Law, are ya?
- Alright, back off, all of you.
483
00:25:16,447 --> 00:25:18,060
I'll have no more trouble.
484
00:25:18,061 --> 00:25:20,177
- What trouble?
- Why don't you ask him?
485
00:25:20,217 --> 00:25:23,019
- I don't remember.
- Not surprised.
486
00:25:23,053 --> 00:25:25,921
You were falling-down drunk.
As was your jelly-boned friend.
487
00:25:27,657 --> 00:25:31,293
(laughing) Bartender.
488
00:25:31,327 --> 00:25:34,362
A whiskey for my friend and another for me.
489
00:25:34,431 --> 00:25:36,799
Oy.
490
00:25:36,833 --> 00:25:39,267
This here is an Irish pub.
491
00:25:39,302 --> 00:25:42,637
Make that two Irish whiskeys.
492
00:25:42,671 --> 00:25:46,040
You're not welcome here, friend.
493
00:25:46,074 --> 00:25:49,444
Oh, you're not my friend.
But the rest of these men are.
494
00:25:49,478 --> 00:25:52,146
Drinks on the house! (cheers)
495
00:25:54,049 --> 00:25:56,350
Things calmed down for a bit after that.
496
00:25:56,984 --> 00:25:59,352
Until Reagan started singing
his bloody rebel songs.
497
00:25:59,353 --> 00:26:00,353

(all singing at the same time)
504
00:26:16,536 --> 00:26:18,471
Enough!
505
00:26:18,505 --> 00:26:20,473
No more singing.
506
00:26:20,507 --> 00:26:22,641
Get back to your seats.
507
00:26:22,676 --> 00:26:24,910
And that's where it might have ended,
508
00:26:24,945 --> 00:26:26,812
but you...
509
00:26:26,847 --> 00:26:29,748
had to open your big trap.
510
00:26:29,783 --> 00:26:32,150
You should feel honoured
511
00:26:32,218 --> 00:26:35,954
toto be part of the greatest
empire the world has seen.
512
00:26:36,022 --> 00:26:38,556
- Honoured? Where is the honour in being conquered?
- Better to be
513
00:26:38,591 --> 00:26:42,694
the arm of a great beast than
the scat it leaves behind.
514
00:26:42,761 --> 00:26:44,829
Are you calling Ireland scat?
515
00:26:44,864 --> 00:26:48,165
Perhaps you're not familiar
with the concept of metaphor.
516
00:26:50,809 --> 00:26:52,003
Run. Now!
517
00:26:53,771 --> 00:26:55,706
And that's the last I saw of them.
518
00:26:55,773 --> 00:26:58,009
The rest of us chased
them down Queen Street,
519
00:26:58,043 --> 00:27:00,378
until they took refuge behind a copper,
520
00:27:00,412 --> 00:27:03,980
still singing Rule bloody Britannia.
521
00:27:05,249 --> 00:27:07,384
What happened then?
522
00:27:07,451 --> 00:27:11,021
(chuckling) The copper arrested them.
523
00:27:11,088 --> 00:27:15,125
Here it is. 12:45 AM.
524
00:27:15,192 --> 00:27:17,660
They were here. In our cells?
525
00:27:17,694 --> 00:27:20,462
I thought there was something
familiar about this place.
526
00:27:20,530 --> 00:27:24,033
- The arresting officer was...
- Jackson!
527
00:27:26,469 --> 00:27:29,704
Did you arrest this man last night?
528
00:27:29,772 --> 00:27:32,541
- Yeah, him and his friend.
- Bloody hell.
529
00:27:32,575 --> 00:27:35,443
It was for their own
good. Singing Rule Britannia
530
00:27:35,511 --> 00:27:37,378
in Corktown? They were
looking for a beating.
531
00:27:37,446 --> 00:27:39,380
How long were they here?
532
00:27:39,448 --> 00:27:41,549
I kept them in until the bars
closed and then I released them
533
00:27:41,616 --> 00:27:43,651
with a strict warning. No more singing.
534
00:27:43,718 --> 00:27:46,287
- What then?
- I went back on patrol.
535
00:27:46,355 --> 00:27:48,089
Did you see where they went?
536
00:27:48,123 --> 00:27:51,758
- Last I saw they was heading up Parliament Street.
- Parliament Street.
537
00:27:51,825 --> 00:27:53,693
Does that sound familiar?
538
00:27:53,761 --> 00:27:56,329
Say the first thing that comes to mind.
539
00:27:56,397 --> 00:27:58,731
Vinwosni.
540
00:27:58,799 --> 00:28:01,068
There's that name again. I wasn't
thinking about it. It just came out.
541
00:28:01,102 --> 00:28:04,737
Maybe this Vinwosni fellow
lives on that street.
542
00:28:04,805 --> 00:28:07,239
Oh, ho, ho!
543
00:28:07,274 --> 00:28:10,242
Back to work, Jackson.
544
00:28:10,310 --> 00:28:14,180
There's an after-hours speakeasy called
545
00:28:14,214 --> 00:28:16,182
- Insomnia.
- What the devil is he doing?
546
00:28:16,216 --> 00:28:18,417
- Just wait and see, Mr. Churchill.
- We keep shutting it down.
547
00:28:18,485 --> 00:28:21,153
But, it keeps popping back up
548
00:28:21,188 --> 00:28:23,921
with a different sign. This time,
549
00:28:23,989 --> 00:28:27,192
they've inverted the name.
550
00:28:36,135 --> 00:28:39,002
You.
551
00:28:39,036 --> 00:28:41,205
Where's my bloody swords?
552
00:28:41,272 --> 00:28:43,873
Officer swords? Brass hilt?
553
00:28:43,908 --> 00:28:46,343
He knows what they look like.
Those are my Grandpa's swords.
554
00:28:46,377 --> 00:28:48,945
He used them in the War of 1812. And
they've got sentimental value, mate.
555
00:28:48,980 --> 00:28:51,215
Those swords were taken as evidence.
556
00:28:51,249 --> 00:28:53,034
They were used in the
commission of a crime.
557
00:28:53,035 --> 00:28:54,349
Would that crime be murder?
558
00:28:54,351 --> 00:28:56,486
Why would you ask that?
559
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,488
Well, the way you and your friend
were going at it last night,
560
00:28:58,522 --> 00:29:01,690
I figured one of you would kill
the other. Ain't that right, Al?
561
00:29:01,725 --> 00:29:03,559
Yup.
562
00:29:03,594 --> 00:29:07,062
Tell me everything you
remember about last night.
563
00:29:08,332 --> 00:29:11,566
Barkeep. Some whiskey, if you please.
564
00:29:11,601 --> 00:29:14,636
You no sooner sat down
than you started in arguing.
565
00:29:14,670 --> 00:29:18,673
- About what?
- About some gal named...
566
00:29:18,707 --> 00:29:19,772
Maddie.
567
00:29:21,710 --> 00:29:24,312
Your friend had done
something terrible to her.
568
00:29:24,347 --> 00:29:27,714
But felt he was justified on account of
what she had done to his friend, Gordon.
569
00:29:27,782 --> 00:29:31,652
- That about sum it up, Al?
- Yup.
570
00:29:31,686 --> 00:29:34,454
Reginald and I often debated the
desecration of the Mahdi's tomb.
571
00:29:34,522 --> 00:29:37,490
- We'd never come to blows over it.
- Oh, it didn't end there.
572
00:29:37,525 --> 00:29:40,027
- Then he started jibbing you about your mother.
- My mother?
573
00:29:40,061 --> 00:29:42,062
Yeah, your mother.
574
00:29:42,096 --> 00:29:45,098
All I'm saying is she
has a reputation, old boy.
575
00:29:45,133 --> 00:29:48,468
She's getting married to a man half
her age. What does that tell you?
576
00:29:48,502 --> 00:29:51,671
That love is not determined
by the year of one's birth.
577
00:29:51,705 --> 00:29:54,540
Well, it tells me she needed
someone who could keep up with her.
578
00:29:56,476 --> 00:29:58,678
Weapon of choice, sir.
579
00:29:58,745 --> 00:30:02,048
Are you... challenging me to a duel?
580
00:30:10,156 --> 00:30:12,657
Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing?!
581
00:30:12,725 --> 00:30:14,693
- Then what?
- Then they left...
582
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,163
and they took my bloody swords with them.
583
00:30:24,503 --> 00:30:27,505
Take me in, Detective.
584
00:30:27,573 --> 00:30:33,477
It would appear
585
00:30:30,108 --> 00:30:33,477
that I am the man we are seeking.
586
00:30:42,371 --> 00:30:44,305
Julia.
587
00:30:44,373 --> 00:30:46,307
What is it?
588
00:30:46,342 --> 00:30:49,878
I couldn't do it.
589
00:30:49,945 --> 00:30:51,880
I couldn't lie.
590
00:30:51,947 --> 00:30:55,415
Julia, please speak plainly to me.
591
00:30:55,449 --> 00:30:58,151
The judge didn't grant the annulment.
592
00:30:58,219 --> 00:31:00,520
Why not?
593
00:31:04,625 --> 00:31:06,659
Oh, William, it was all my fault.
594
00:31:06,694 --> 00:31:09,061
He asked me, under oath,
595
00:31:09,096 --> 00:31:11,364
if we'd consummated our marriage.
596
00:31:11,431 --> 00:31:13,565
And I couldn't do it. I couldn't lie.
597
00:31:13,633 --> 00:31:16,903
- I couldn't do that to Darcy.
- I see.
598
00:31:16,970 --> 00:31:19,272
But Darcy says he'll consider a divorce.
599
00:31:19,339 --> 00:31:21,073
A divorce.
600
00:31:21,108 --> 00:31:24,243
Does it really make a difference?
601
00:31:24,278 --> 00:31:27,812
We can still be together.
We can legally marry.
602
00:31:27,846 --> 00:31:30,148
But not in the eyes of God.
603
00:31:30,182 --> 00:31:33,184
Then damn God, William.
604
00:31:33,252 --> 00:31:35,233
You know I've been intimate with men.
605
00:31:35,234 --> 00:31:37,346
And now I'm going to be
divorced. You know this!
606
00:31:37,456 --> 00:31:39,791
- Julia, please...
- This is who I am.
607
00:31:39,825 --> 00:31:41,792
This is the woman you say you love!
608
00:31:41,826 --> 00:31:43,928
- This isn't easy...
- I can deal
609
00:31:43,962 --> 00:31:46,030
with the legal matters. You
work it out with your God.
610
00:31:56,741 --> 00:31:58,808
I almost feel sorry for him.
611
00:31:58,842 --> 00:32:01,677
Hell of a thing to kill your own
friend and not even remember it.
612
00:32:01,711 --> 00:32:04,347
Then again, maybe it's best not
to remember something like that.
613
00:32:04,381 --> 00:32:07,984
The memory loss could be caused by
something called traumatic amnesia.
614
00:32:08,018 --> 00:32:10,987
Few things would be more
traumatic. It's a shame.
615
00:32:11,021 --> 00:32:13,521
I had a feeling this Churchill
fellow was going places.
616
00:32:13,556 --> 00:32:16,391
Detective. Do you have a minute?
617
00:32:18,328 --> 00:32:22,230
Before I closed the Y-incision,
I thought I would weigh the liver.
618
00:32:22,265 --> 00:32:25,100
Not strictly necessary,
given the cause of death
619
00:32:25,134 --> 00:32:26,734
was obvious.
620
00:32:26,769 --> 00:32:28,803
But I was curious to see the
immediate effects on the liver
621
00:32:28,838 --> 00:32:31,005
of a bout of heavy drinking.
622
00:32:31,073 --> 00:32:33,807
- Go on.
- And that's when I noticed
623
00:32:33,842 --> 00:32:36,710
that the stomach was nicked.
624
00:32:36,744 --> 00:32:38,412
I thought at first I had done it myself
625
00:32:38,447 --> 00:32:41,048
during the excision. But just to be sure,
626
00:32:41,116 --> 00:32:44,085
I decided to track the passage
of the sword through the body.
627
00:32:44,119 --> 00:32:46,119
I'd thought about doing that anyway.
628
00:32:46,187 --> 00:32:48,855
Not very often one gets a
chance to track a sword wound.
629
00:32:48,889 --> 00:32:50,656
Go on...
630
00:32:50,724 --> 00:32:53,193
I'll show you.
631
00:32:56,364 --> 00:32:58,298
The sword entered here
632
00:32:58,366 --> 00:33:02,301
and exited here.
633
00:33:02,335 --> 00:33:05,237
Detective. The top of the stomach
634
00:33:05,305 --> 00:33:07,373
sits here.
635
00:33:07,407 --> 00:33:09,808
So how did this sword nick a stomach
636
00:33:09,842 --> 00:33:13,479
that was sitting at least an inch
lower than the bottom of the blade?
637
00:33:13,546 --> 00:33:15,547
- It couldn't have.
- Exactly.
638
00:33:15,581 --> 00:33:18,483
It is my conclusion that the
sword that killed Mr. Mayfair
639
00:33:18,550 --> 00:33:20,851
was curved.
640
00:33:22,787 --> 00:33:24,722
Now you think he's bloody innocent?
641
00:33:24,789 --> 00:33:26,824
Mr. Churchill's sword
was not the murder weapon.
642
00:33:26,858 --> 00:33:28,826
Then how did it get blood on it?
643
00:33:28,894 --> 00:33:31,229
I believe the two men did have a duel
644
00:33:31,296 --> 00:33:33,830
which ended with Mr.
Mayfair's arm being cut.
645
00:33:33,898 --> 00:33:35,775
The spillage of blood no
doubt sobered the men up.
646
00:33:36,235 --> 00:33:38,373
And then someone else came in
after them, with a different sword?
647
00:33:38,374 --> 00:33:39,374
Yes.
648
00:33:39,370 --> 00:33:42,872
How many bloody swords are
there in Toronto, Murdoch?
649
00:33:42,907 --> 00:33:44,335
So we're back where we started.
650
00:33:44,336 --> 00:33:46,371
In fact, we're back where
we started before we started.
651
00:33:46,744 --> 00:33:48,845
I'd like to return to the Palace Hotel
652
00:33:48,913 --> 00:33:50,779
with Mr. Churchill.
653
00:33:50,813 --> 00:33:53,916
- To what end?
- Perhaps I can jar his memory.
654
00:33:53,950 --> 00:33:56,285
If he is suffering from traumatic amnesia,
655
00:33:56,319 --> 00:33:58,720
then perhaps he was a
witness to the murder.
656
00:34:02,359 --> 00:34:04,293
Does anything come to mind, Mr. Churchill?
657
00:34:04,394 --> 00:34:08,296
- Nothing. Nothing at all.
- Sir.
658
00:34:08,330 --> 00:34:09,426
Have a look at this.
659
00:34:10,063 --> 00:34:11,555
It appears to be some sort of writing.
660
00:34:11,556 --> 00:34:12,556
It seems to have blended
into the wallpaper.
661
00:34:17,839 --> 00:34:20,741
Why would somebody bother writing
something so difficult to see?
662
00:34:20,776 --> 00:34:23,810
Because, George when this was written
663
00:34:23,844 --> 00:34:27,081
it would have been bright red. It's blood.
664
00:34:27,148 --> 00:34:29,950
It's since dried to the
same colour as the wallpaper.
665
00:34:30,017 --> 00:34:33,853
I'm going to need my ultraviolet light.
666
00:34:33,888 --> 00:34:37,623
Blood, even dried blood,
fluoresces under ultraviolet light.
667
00:34:37,691 --> 00:34:39,925
- Why blood?
- Not just blood.
668
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,996
- Urine, semen...
- Scorpions... for some reason.
669
00:34:44,030 --> 00:34:47,200
George, if you could get the lights.
670
00:34:53,839 --> 00:34:56,074
Om... Omdurman.
671
00:35:04,150 --> 00:35:06,485
Maybe the killer was taking revenge
672
00:35:06,519 --> 00:35:07,951
for what happened at
the battle of Omdurman.
673
00:35:07,952 --> 00:35:09,215
Or perhaps for the defiling
674
00:35:09,354 --> 00:35:12,123
of the Mahdi's tomb. Reginald
played a part in that.
675
00:35:12,157 --> 00:35:15,792
- Who would know this?
- Everybody at the Albany club.
676
00:35:15,827 --> 00:35:19,363
But who at that club would give
a tuppence for the bloody Mahdi?
677
00:35:19,397 --> 00:35:23,534
But the British Empire is not
what defines us as British.
678
00:35:23,568 --> 00:35:25,701
Not to be praised, or honoured...
679
00:35:25,736 --> 00:35:28,238
Your valet was there.
680
00:35:28,272 --> 00:35:31,407
- The Arab fellow?
- My God.
681
00:35:31,442 --> 00:35:33,409
Gentlemen.
682
00:35:33,444 --> 00:35:35,745
Ahmadi is a Nile Arab.
683
00:35:35,779 --> 00:35:37,847
I met him in Khartoum.
684
00:35:37,881 --> 00:35:39,949
What is more, he's a Mohammedan.
685
00:35:41,417 --> 00:35:44,052
When Kitchener defiled
the tomb, he defiled Islam.
686
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,655
Any Mohammedan would have been enraged.
687
00:35:46,689 --> 00:35:50,725
Let's have a little chat with him.
688
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:55,230
I'm a Mohammedan, yes, but I'm
not a fanatic. I'm not a Mahdist.
689
00:35:55,265 --> 00:35:57,865
You're from the Sudan, are you not?
690
00:35:57,899 --> 00:36:00,568
- No. I am Egyptian.
- Really?
691
00:36:00,602 --> 00:36:03,237
According to Mr. Churchill,
you met him in Khartoum.
692
00:36:03,305 --> 00:36:05,640
Yes, but I am from Cairo.
693
00:36:05,707 --> 00:36:09,109
Look at my face. Do I look like a Nubian?
694
00:36:12,047 --> 00:36:15,715
- What do you think?
- He's right, sir.
695
00:36:15,783 --> 00:36:19,186
Most Sudanese Arabs have negro features.
696
00:36:19,220 --> 00:36:19,993
Hold it, Murdoch.
697
00:36:19,994 --> 00:36:23,099
Our witness said she saw a Negro
man leaving Churchill's suite.
698
00:36:23,257 --> 00:36:26,293
But she identified the boot
man as the man she saw leaving.
699
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:30,696
She probably thinks one
looks just like another.
700
00:36:34,767 --> 00:36:38,236
It wasn't the boot man she saw leaving.
701
00:36:38,304 --> 00:36:41,206
It was the killer.
702
00:36:41,273 --> 00:36:44,676
- All I'm saying is she has a reputation, old boy.
- Love is not determined
703
00:36:44,711 --> 00:36:47,079
by the year of one's birth. She's
getting married to a man half her age.
704
00:36:49,048 --> 00:36:50,712
There was a Negro man at the speakeasy.
705
00:36:51,273 --> 00:36:54,819
He would have overheard the argument
about the desecration of Mahdi's tomb.
706
00:36:55,121 --> 00:36:57,247
He would know that Mayfair was responsible.
707
00:36:57,248 --> 00:36:59,820
He could have put the knockout
drug in Mr. Churchill's drink.
708
00:37:00,192 --> 00:37:02,793
Odd that Churchill never
thought to mention him.
709
00:37:02,861 --> 00:37:04,050
He fought against the Sudanese.
710
00:37:04,051 --> 00:37:05,234
He would have known what they looked like.
711
00:37:05,530 --> 00:37:07,832
You're right, sir, that is odd.
712
00:37:07,899 --> 00:37:09,833
George. Sir.
713
00:37:09,867 --> 00:37:11,467
Where is Mr. Churchill now?
714
00:37:11,501 --> 00:37:13,803
He said he wanted to return the swords
715
00:37:13,871 --> 00:37:17,173
to their rightful owner.
716
00:37:17,241 --> 00:37:19,408
Bloody hell.
717
00:37:25,882 --> 00:37:28,683
I've come to bring the swords back.
718
00:37:28,752 --> 00:37:32,420
Keef Halak.
719
00:37:34,657 --> 00:37:37,459
I knew it was you.
720
00:37:37,493 --> 00:37:40,262
I could tell by your face.
721
00:37:40,296 --> 00:37:44,132
Were you at Omdurman? I was.
722
00:37:44,166 --> 00:37:47,568
I've come to bring you to justice.
723
00:37:47,636 --> 00:37:49,670
You can come willingly...
724
00:37:49,704 --> 00:37:53,808
or you can try to stop me.
725
00:38:11,558 --> 00:38:15,327
- All right! Stop!
- Dammit, man! I almost killed you!
726
00:38:15,361 --> 00:38:19,265
- Put down your swords.
- I'll stop if he stops. I doubt he will... he'll hang either way.
727
00:38:20,267 --> 00:38:22,467
So the way I see it. This is self-defence.
728
00:38:22,502 --> 00:38:24,970
- This is revenge.
- Call it what you like, old boy.
729
00:38:42,421 --> 00:38:44,322
Enough! (gunshot)
730
00:38:48,426 --> 00:38:52,029
- Kill him and you're dead.
- I am dead anyway.
731
00:38:52,063 --> 00:38:55,432
This is for my people, whom
you degraded and slaughtered.
732
00:38:55,466 --> 00:38:58,401
For your insult to the Mahdi and Allah.
733
00:38:58,436 --> 00:39:01,103
The man you're about to kill
734
00:39:01,138 --> 00:39:03,873
spoke out against what happened
at the battle of Omdurman.
735
00:39:03,941 --> 00:39:07,543
He praised the Mahdi. Called
him a priest, a soldier
736
00:39:07,577 --> 00:39:10,512
and a patriot. You're quoting my book!
737
00:39:10,547 --> 00:39:13,415
Now, you can choose to
die as a man of honour
738
00:39:13,450 --> 00:39:16,752
or as a murderer. Your choice.
739
00:39:31,467 --> 00:39:34,801
This fight is not over.
740
00:39:53,163 --> 00:39:55,097
He fought with the Mahdi.
741
00:39:55,165 --> 00:39:57,499
He was there when Kitchener
desecrated the tomb.
742
00:39:57,566 --> 00:39:59,802
What the hell is he doing here?
743
00:39:59,869 --> 00:40:01,936
He killed one of the officers responsible.
744
00:40:01,970 --> 00:40:04,538
He escaped through French North
Africa, boarded a merchant ship,
745
00:40:04,606 --> 00:40:07,842
landed here in Toronto where
he took up a job as a barman.
746
00:40:07,910 --> 00:40:11,712
And a year later another toffy-nosed
Redcoat comes waltzing through his door,
747
00:40:11,780 --> 00:40:15,016
bragging about how he's turned
his Messiah's skull into an inkpot.
748
00:40:15,083 --> 00:40:18,151
- What are the odds on that?
- I suppose remote enough
749
00:40:18,219 --> 00:40:21,855
that he considered it a calling from
God that his work was unfinished.
750
00:40:24,658 --> 00:40:27,694
I've just time to make my lecture.
751
00:40:27,761 --> 00:40:30,730
Inspector, if you'd like me to
sign that autograph book of yours...
752
00:40:30,764 --> 00:40:34,366
What, and join the ranks of
silly girls and pimply boys?
753
00:40:34,434 --> 00:40:38,170
Inspector, of all the insults
I've uttered in the last 24 hours,
754
00:40:38,205 --> 00:40:41,140
that is the one I wish I could forget.
755
00:40:41,208 --> 00:40:44,409
If you still feel my
signature worthy of inclusion,
756
00:40:44,444 --> 00:40:47,012
- I'd be honoured.
- Very well,
757
00:40:47,047 --> 00:40:49,380
if you insist.
758
00:40:49,414 --> 00:40:51,782
Well, you've had an eventful stay,
759
00:40:51,817 --> 00:40:55,519
Mr. Churchill. Perhaps material
for your memoirs someday.
760
00:40:55,587 --> 00:40:58,256
I rather think I'll restrict my memoirs
761
00:40:58,290 --> 00:41:00,758
to the events I actually
remember, Detective.
762
00:41:00,792 --> 00:41:04,229
This hasn't exactly been my finest hour.
763
00:41:06,865 --> 00:41:09,299
Good God. Look at these signatures.
764
00:41:09,334 --> 00:41:11,935
Nikola Tesla,
765
00:41:11,970 --> 00:41:15,138
Harry Houdini, Buffalo
Bill, Arthur Conan Doyle.
766
00:41:15,173 --> 00:41:18,141
Is this the signature
of the Prime Minister?
767
00:41:18,176 --> 00:41:22,178
- I'm not sure I am worthy, Inspector.
- Ah, give it a scribble.
768
00:41:22,212 --> 00:41:26,448
Who knows. Maybe you'll be Prime
Minister yourself someday. (chuckling)
769
00:41:28,385 --> 00:41:30,753
I wish you peace and
good fortune, gentlemen.
770
00:41:30,787 --> 00:41:33,256
It was a pleasure.
771
00:41:35,759 --> 00:41:38,360
Until we meet again.
772
00:41:40,296 --> 00:41:43,365
What did he write?
773
00:41:43,399 --> 00:41:47,168
"To the man who made the rest of my
life possible. Winston Churchill."
774
00:41:47,203 --> 00:41:50,906
Let's hope he makes good use of it.
775
00:42:19,166 --> 00:42:22,302
Five, four, three,
776
00:42:22,369 --> 00:42:24,470
two,
777
00:42:24,538 --> 00:42:27,572
one, good. That's enough for now.
778
00:42:28,874 --> 00:42:32,110
William.
779
00:42:32,178 --> 00:42:34,512
Julia.
780
00:42:34,580 --> 00:42:37,649
I will stand by you.
781
00:42:39,218 --> 00:42:43,154
If you divorce, I will marry you.
782
00:42:43,221 --> 00:42:45,156
And your faith,
783
00:42:45,223 --> 00:42:47,191
how will you reconcile that?
784
00:42:47,225 --> 00:42:50,261
I'll accept the
consequences of my decision.
785
00:42:50,329 --> 00:42:53,564
No matter what the Church says,
786
00:42:53,631 --> 00:42:55,799
I refuse to believe that love,
787
00:42:55,867 --> 00:42:58,268
any love, could be wrong.
788
00:42:59,736 --> 00:43:01,537
And I love you.
789
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:05,675
And I you.
790
