00:19:00,122 --> 00:19:01,612
MURDOCH: Actually, sir,
it's quite interesting.
352
00:19:01,723 --> 00:19:03,020
They play three notes
353
00:19:03,125 --> 00:19:05,116
where conventionally
there would only be one.
354
00:19:05,227 --> 00:19:07,525
- It creates a...
- A pounding bloody headache.
355
00:19:07,629 --> 00:19:09,756
Unless you need me further,
I'm off to my bed.
356
00:19:10,065 --> 00:19:11,532
- By the back door.
- Good night.
357
00:19:11,633 --> 00:19:13,294
BRACKEN REID: Good night!
358
00:19:27,082 --> 00:19:28,709
One second.
359
00:19:29,651 --> 00:19:32,279
Detective Murdoch.
What brings you here?
360
00:19:32,387 --> 00:19:33,684
Dr. Grace.
361
00:19:33,789 --> 00:19:36,690
I believe Nathan Peters was
killed out behind this building
362
00:19:36,792 --> 00:19:38,259
and then his body was moved.
363
00:19:38,360 --> 00:19:39,691
- Really?
- Yes.
364
00:19:39,795 --> 00:19:42,593
I see this place attracts
modernists of all kinds.
365
00:19:42,698 --> 00:19:44,689
MURDOCH: Mr. Garland.
366
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,199
Detective.
367
00:19:46,301 --> 00:19:47,734
Hello there.
368
00:19:47,836 --> 00:19:50,737
- Uh, Leslie Garland...
- We've already met.
369
00:19:50,839 --> 00:19:52,602
Taking a break from corpses?
370
00:19:52,708 --> 00:19:55,336
- You've come to the right place.
- So it seems.
371
00:19:55,444 --> 00:19:56,411
I heard music like this
372
00:19:56,511 --> 00:19:58,445
in a little place I frequented
in New York City.
373
00:19:58,547 --> 00:20:00,310
Such an intoxicating sound.
374
00:20:00,415 --> 00:20:01,643
[Music continues]
375
00:20:04,753 --> 00:20:07,119
Mr. Garland. Doctor.
376
00:20:07,222 --> 00:20:09,247
I bid you good evening.
377
00:20:22,671 --> 00:20:24,605
It's all in the syncopation.
378
00:20:24,706 --> 00:20:26,264
DR. GRACE: Syncopation?
379
00:20:26,375 --> 00:20:28,434
The essence
of what you're hearing.
380
00:20:28,543 --> 00:20:29,601
The emphasis on the weaker beat
381
00:20:29,711 --> 00:20:31,508
gives the music
its ragged rhythm.
382
00:20:31,613 --> 00:20:32,739
- Thus...
- Ragtime.
383
00:20:32,848 --> 00:20:34,475
Exactly, Emily.
384
00:20:35,217 --> 00:20:37,447
A little forward, Mr. Garland.
385
00:20:37,552 --> 00:20:40,214
Aw, look around.
Everyone's breaking the rules.
386
00:20:40,322 --> 00:20:42,381
It's what we came to do,
is it not?
387
00:20:42,491 --> 00:20:43,856
I was simply curious.
388
00:20:44,159 --> 00:20:46,127
That's an excellent first step.
389
00:20:46,228 --> 00:20:48,594
May I buy you a drink...
390
00:20:49,364 --> 00:20:50,831
...Emily?
391
00:20:55,637 --> 00:20:58,470
[Indistinct conversations]
392
00:20:58,573 --> 00:20:59,801
BRACKEN REID: I'm under pressure
from Miss Hamilton
393
00:20:59,908 --> 00:21:02,206
and the Temperance mob
to close down the Blind Pig.
394
00:21:02,311 --> 00:21:03,744
I'm of half a mind to do it.
395
00:21:03,845 --> 00:21:05,244
Protecting the city's morals?
396
00:21:05,347 --> 00:21:07,440
Protecting the city's eardrums,
more like.
397
00:21:07,549 --> 00:21:09,244
What did you get
from those musicians?
398
00:21:09,351 --> 00:21:11,444
I spoke to the clerk,
and none of them left the hotel
399
00:21:11,553 --> 00:21:13,180
after midnight
on the night of the murder.
400
00:21:13,288 --> 00:21:14,220
So we're no further ahead.
401
00:21:14,323 --> 00:21:15,517
CRABTREE: Sirs?
402
00:21:15,624 --> 00:21:17,922
Nathan Peters' trumpet.
His wife confirms it.
403
00:21:18,226 --> 00:21:20,251
I just found it
at McGinnis' Pawn Shop.
404
00:21:20,362 --> 00:21:22,557
- Who hocked it, Crabtree?
- Mick O'Shea.
405
00:21:22,664 --> 00:21:25,360
Got the bugger!
406
00:21:26,735 --> 00:21:28,566
You rolled Nathan Peters
for his wallet and his trumpet!
407
00:21:28,670 --> 00:21:30,228
- Not me!
- Teaching him a lesson
408
00:21:30,339 --> 00:21:32,273
- about being uppity, was ya?!
- I swear I wasn't!
409
00:21:32,374 --> 00:21:34,274
Only the robbery got out of hand
didn't it, eh?!
410
00:21:34,376 --> 00:21:35,274
No!
411
00:21:35,377 --> 00:21:38,278
Peters died, and now you're
facing a noose! Come here!
412
00:21:39,381 --> 00:21:41,372
You disgust me, O'Shea.
413
00:21:41,483 --> 00:21:44,884
All right, all right.
I pawned the trumpet.
414
00:21:44,987 --> 00:21:46,614
Where's the wallet?!
415
00:21:46,722 --> 00:21:48,849
What wallet?
416
00:21:54,629 --> 00:21:56,597
Come here!
Where's the wallet?!
417
00:21:56,698 --> 00:21:58,962
All right! All right.
418
00:21:59,267 --> 00:22:00,757
[Both panting]
419
00:22:06,274 --> 00:22:09,266
I... But I didn't kill him.
I swear.
420
00:22:09,378 --> 00:22:10,436
That's a lie!
421
00:22:10,545 --> 00:22:13,571
I found it near the warehouses.
You've got to believe me.
422
00:22:13,682 --> 00:22:16,583
- Where?
- Uh, tossed in an alley,
423
00:22:16,685 --> 00:22:17,583
behind some crates.
424
00:22:17,686 --> 00:22:18,710
- When was that?
- [Groans]
425
00:22:18,820 --> 00:22:22,847
Around, uh... 11:00 that night.
426
00:22:22,958 --> 00:22:26,792
I swear to God I didn't know
it was the dead man's.
427
00:22:34,403 --> 00:22:38,635
[Door opens, closes]
428
00:22:38,740 --> 00:22:41,470
[Breathes deeply]
429
00:22:41,576 --> 00:22:46,013
Nathan Peters was killed
between 1:00 and 3:00 a.m.
430
00:22:46,314 --> 00:22:48,282
If Mr. O'Shea says
431
00:22:48,383 --> 00:22:50,613
he found the wallet and trumpet
at 11:00 p.m.,
432
00:22:50,719 --> 00:22:53,017
the timing just doesn't fit.
433
00:22:53,321 --> 00:22:55,619
That's
if he's telling the truth.
434
00:22:55,724 --> 00:22:58,420
Oh, he's telling the truth,
Murdoch.
435
00:22:58,527 --> 00:23:01,428
Trust me.
[Clicks tongue]
436
00:23:02,330 --> 00:23:04,560
It's like nothing you've
ever heard before, George.
437
00:23:04,666 --> 00:23:06,759
The rhythm of the music
is altered.
438
00:23:06,868 --> 00:23:09,769
It becomes ragged, so "ragtime."
439
00:23:09,871 --> 00:23:10,803
CRABTREE:
Well, if there's no beat,
440
00:23:10,906 --> 00:23:12,931
then how does the band know
what to play?
441
00:23:13,041 --> 00:23:16,807
There's still a rhythm. It
just becomes more... unexpected.
442
00:23:16,912 --> 00:23:20,643
Oh. Sort of as if the beat
were in the background?
443
00:23:20,749 --> 00:23:21,647
Exactly.
444
00:23:21,750 --> 00:23:24,310
You know an awful lot
about music, Emily.
445
00:23:24,419 --> 00:23:26,387
DR. GRACE:
I'm not without some ability.
446
00:23:26,488 --> 00:23:28,752
Oh. I have a tin ear myself.
447
00:23:28,857 --> 00:23:30,381
But it sounds like
you had a lot of fun.
448
00:23:30,492 --> 00:23:35,520
I did. It was so exciting,
so modern. [Chuckles]
449
00:23:35,630 --> 00:23:36,654
Detective.
450
00:23:36,765 --> 00:23:40,462
I was just explaining
ragtime music to the constable.
451
00:23:41,503 --> 00:23:44,529
Dr. Grace,
a question about Nathan Peters.
452
00:23:44,639 --> 00:23:45,901
Yes. How can I help?
453
00:23:46,007 --> 00:23:48,669
I'm confused
by the timing of his death.
454
00:23:48,777 --> 00:23:50,540
He died
between 1:00 and 3:00 a.m.
455
00:23:50,645 --> 00:23:52,078
Of that, I am certain,
Detective.
456
00:23:52,380 --> 00:23:55,611
Yes, but could he have been
assaulted earlier?
457
00:23:55,717 --> 00:23:58,413
Perhaps around 11:00 p. M?
458
00:23:58,520 --> 00:23:59,680
- What are you thinking, sir?
- Well, George,
459
00:23:59,788 --> 00:24:03,087
what if Mr. Peters' assailant
assumed that he was dead
460
00:24:03,391 --> 00:24:04,551
at the time he moved his body?
461
00:24:04,659 --> 00:24:07,423
But he didn't actually die until
the early hours of the morning.
462
00:24:07,529 --> 00:24:08,757
Exactly.
463
00:24:08,864 --> 00:24:11,424
The postmortem evidence
would support that theory.
464
00:24:11,533 --> 00:24:14,366
But, sir, if that were the case,
465
00:24:14,469 --> 00:24:16,630
if Nathan Peters
was assaulted before midnight,
466
00:24:16,738 --> 00:24:17,932
before the hotel doors
were locked...
467
00:24:18,039 --> 00:24:20,098
A fellow member
of the Jubilee Singers
468
00:24:20,408 --> 00:24:22,603
could be responsible
for his death.
469
00:24:32,821 --> 00:24:35,517
We been friends since we
were boys, Nathan and I.
470
00:24:35,624 --> 00:24:38,058
Fished in the same river,
sang in the same choir.
471
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,128
Why, that's where he met Chloe.
[Chuckles softly]
472
00:24:40,428 --> 00:24:42,020
It was Nathan's idea
that we form the Singers.
473
00:24:42,130 --> 00:24:43,927
But Nathan is dead.
474
00:24:44,032 --> 00:24:47,798
And now, Mr. Hughes,
you are the new leader.
475
00:24:47,903 --> 00:24:50,929
Are you suggesting
that I killed my best friend?
476
00:24:51,039 --> 00:24:54,702
Everyone here is now a suspect,
Mr. Hughes.
477
00:24:54,809 --> 00:24:58,506
Did Mr. Peters clash
with Buddy Duncan? Mr. Hardy?
478
00:24:58,613 --> 00:25:01,013
No man wants to be told
by his juniors.
479
00:25:01,116 --> 00:25:03,676
But he tussled most with Buddy.
480
00:25:03,785 --> 00:25:06,151
Buddy wanted to modernize
our repertoire.
481
00:25:06,454 --> 00:25:07,785
Said it would improve
our audiences.
482
00:25:07,889 --> 00:25:09,914
But Nathan wouldn't allow it.
483
00:25:10,025 --> 00:25:11,458
CRABTREE: Why not?
484
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:12,686
We're a spiritual group.
485
00:25:12,794 --> 00:25:15,763
My husband had no use
for modern music.
486
00:25:15,864 --> 00:25:18,389
But then...
ticket sales were waning.
487
00:25:18,500 --> 00:25:20,024
[Sighs]
My husband wasn't killed
488
00:25:20,135 --> 00:25:22,968
because we no longer played
to full houses, Constable.
489
00:25:23,071 --> 00:25:25,631
Yes, we disagreed about music.
490
00:25:25,740 --> 00:25:28,038
He didn't hear what I hear.
491
00:25:29,744 --> 00:25:31,905
He didn't approve of you playing
at the Blind Pig.
492
00:25:32,013 --> 00:25:33,139
[Breathes deeply]
493
00:25:33,448 --> 00:25:36,110
Nathan and me,
we were like father and son.
494
00:25:36,218 --> 00:25:38,743
Something I had to break from.
495
00:25:38,853 --> 00:25:41,515
That's just
nature taking its course.
496
00:25:41,623 --> 00:25:44,114
Buddy comes across as skittish,
but his horn...
497
00:25:44,226 --> 00:25:46,023
It talks smooth
as silk stockings.
498
00:25:46,127 --> 00:25:48,186
Skittish and fond of a drink.
499
00:25:48,496 --> 00:25:50,657
Well, his mind gets troubled,
Constable.
500
00:25:50,765 --> 00:25:53,666
He needs the oblivion
the bottle brings, I guess.
501
00:25:53,768 --> 00:25:56,032
Nathan hiring him was
the best thing could happen.
502
00:25:56,137 --> 00:25:57,968
Saved him
from his worst excesses.
503
00:25:58,073 --> 00:26:00,064
- So Nathan Peters hired him?
- Yes.
504
00:26:00,175 --> 00:26:03,440
Saw his talent
and picked him up right away.
505
00:26:03,545 --> 00:26:05,672
But Buddy's no good
at being tied...
506
00:26:05,780 --> 00:26:07,213
not the way Nathan wanted.
507
00:26:07,515 --> 00:26:08,846
You're a good friend
of Buddy Duncan's.
508
00:26:08,950 --> 00:26:10,941
I look out for him, yes.
509
00:26:11,052 --> 00:26:14,112
So maybe you took care
of Nathan Peters to free him.
510
00:26:14,222 --> 00:26:16,122
That's crazy talk.
511
00:26:16,224 --> 00:26:17,748
Last night at the club,
512
00:26:17,859 --> 00:26:21,852
you mentioned what Nathan Peters
had done for Buddy Duncan.
513
00:26:21,963 --> 00:26:23,590
What did you mean?
514
00:26:23,698 --> 00:26:25,791
Nathan hired Buddy
after what happened in Buffalo.
515
00:26:25,900 --> 00:26:27,925
What was that?
516
00:26:28,036 --> 00:26:29,060
Nothing.
517
00:26:29,170 --> 00:26:32,003
Miss Carter,
what happened in Buffalo?
518
00:26:33,074 --> 00:26:35,975
Nothing. That's just where Buddy
joined the group is all.
519
00:26:36,077 --> 00:26:37,977
[Door opens]
520
00:26:38,079 --> 00:26:40,104
I have to go.
We're rehearsing.
521
00:26:40,215 --> 00:26:41,239
MURDOCH: But as I recall,
522
00:26:41,549 --> 00:26:44,985
you said you knew all of these
old numbers in your sleep.
523
00:26:45,086 --> 00:26:47,816
We are planning something new.
524
00:26:50,859 --> 00:26:53,589
I get the impression they're
struggling financially, sir.
525
00:26:53,695 --> 00:26:56,528
And they all seem...
almost secretive.
526
00:26:56,631 --> 00:26:59,930
I mean, I suppose they feel
like outsiders, being Negro.
527
00:27:00,035 --> 00:27:03,869
George, look into the background
of the Jubilee Singers.
528
00:27:03,972 --> 00:27:05,837
Anything in particular, sir?
529
00:27:05,940 --> 00:27:11,071
Yes. Look into the night they
played Buffalo about a year ago.
530
00:27:11,179 --> 00:27:13,010
Sir.
531
00:27:20,689 --> 00:27:21,849
Ah.
532
00:27:21,956 --> 00:27:24,288
The Jubilee Singers have quite
taken leave of their senses.
533
00:27:24,592 --> 00:27:26,822
Well, I thought they were very
respectable, Miss Hamilton...
534
00:27:26,928 --> 00:27:27,917
your kind of entertainment.
535
00:27:28,029 --> 00:27:29,792
You cannot rely on anyone
these days.
536
00:27:29,898 --> 00:27:31,991
Instead of those
charming plantation songs,
537
00:27:32,100 --> 00:27:33,931
they are now performing
acts of lewdness.
538
00:27:34,035 --> 00:27:36,970
- Lewdness!
- On stage, no less.
539
00:27:37,072 --> 00:27:41,702
Sounds like a matter for
the detective to investigate.
540
00:27:42,344 --> 00:27:44,175
[Giggles]
541
00:27:44,279 --> 00:27:46,907
Mr. Peters' assailant
likely moved the body
542
00:27:47,015 --> 00:27:49,916
before checking to see
if he was, indeed, dead.
543
00:27:50,018 --> 00:27:51,315
DR. OGDEN:
Perhaps he or she panicked.
544
00:27:51,619 --> 00:27:52,813
Which would suggest
that the killing
545
00:27:52,921 --> 00:27:56,084
was not premeditated
but a spontaneous act.
546
00:27:56,191 --> 00:27:59,126
Yes.
But what was the motivation?
547
00:27:59,227 --> 00:28:02,628
Could it be unrelated
to the Jubilee Singers entirely?
548
00:28:02,731 --> 00:28:04,062
Possibly.
549
00:28:04,165 --> 00:28:05,826
But I know
they're hiding something.
550
00:28:05,934 --> 00:28:08,164
George is looking
into the group's past now.
551
00:28:08,269 --> 00:28:09,964
HAMILTON:
I warn you, Constable.
552
00:28:10,071 --> 00:28:13,040
The good citizens of Toronto
will not permit this depravity.
553
00:28:13,141 --> 00:28:15,666
Yes, of course, Miss Hamilton.
Of course.
554
00:28:15,777 --> 00:28:17,074
[Sighs]
555
00:28:17,178 --> 00:28:20,341
Allow me to purchase
the tickets, William.
556
00:28:21,182 --> 00:28:23,810
HAMILTON:
We demand a return to decency...
557
00:28:23,918 --> 00:28:26,318
purity... virtue!
558
00:28:26,621 --> 00:28:29,749
Miss Hamilton hasn't dampened
the public's enthusiasm.
559
00:28:29,858 --> 00:28:32,622
- Nor mine.
...lewdness is unacceptable.
560
00:28:32,727 --> 00:28:34,888
[Mid-tempo music playing]
561
00:28:39,667 --> 00:28:41,032
[Giggles]
562

[Song ends,
cheers and applause]
563
00:29:40,295 --> 00:29:41,887
Bravo!
564
00:29:41,996 --> 00:29:43,987
Wonderful.
565
00:29:46,734 --> 00:29:48,292
- They loved it!
- Look at you!
566
00:29:48,403 --> 00:29:50,997
- Girl, you were on fire.
- [Laughs]
567
00:29:51,105 --> 00:29:52,299
The box-office receipts
568
00:29:52,407 --> 00:29:55,171
have certainly benefited
from your new repertoire.
569
00:29:55,276 --> 00:29:57,836
It seems Buddy was right.
We can pay some bills now.
570
00:29:57,946 --> 00:30:00,915
Not something your husband
would have staged, I presume.
571
00:30:01,015 --> 00:30:02,312
Did you approve, Mrs. Peters?
572
00:30:02,417 --> 00:30:04,282
I always stood by Nathan,
Detective.
573
00:30:04,385 --> 00:30:07,252
I gave in to the group's wishes
with some reluctance.
574
00:30:07,355 --> 00:30:10,119
And now Buddy Duncan
is your new musical director?
575
00:30:10,225 --> 00:30:13,092
It was his idea all along.
He was pushing Nathan to try it.
576
00:30:13,194 --> 00:30:16,459
Offers are pouring in.
577
00:30:16,764 --> 00:30:18,163
- [Squeals]
- Come on! Let's go.
578
00:30:18,266 --> 00:30:19,790
- Let's go.
- CARTER: Come on!
579
00:30:19,901 --> 00:30:23,268
Whether I like it or not,
it seems the future is ragtime.
580
00:30:23,371 --> 00:30:26,465
That swirling silk
and those flowing movements...
581
00:30:26,774 --> 00:30:28,139
How wonderful to see
a woman's body
582
00:30:28,243 --> 00:30:30,905
liberated from the restriction
of a corset.
583
00:30:31,012 --> 00:30:33,344
Nathan Peters would be appalled.
584
00:30:33,448 --> 00:30:37,111
And Queen Victoria is no doubt
turning in her grave.
585
00:30:37,218 --> 00:30:39,379
I found it very sensuous.
586
00:30:39,487 --> 00:30:40,852
Hmm.
587
00:30:41,356 --> 00:30:43,824
Mr. Peters
was clinging to the past,
588
00:30:43,925 --> 00:30:47,224
and Buddy Duncan
was pushing for change.
589
00:30:47,328 --> 00:30:48,955
Now he's dead, Buddy wins.
590
00:30:49,063 --> 00:30:50,223
Do you think
creative differences
591
00:30:50,331 --> 00:30:52,390
could be a motive for murder?
592
00:30:52,500 --> 00:30:53,467
Buddy murders
593
00:30:53,768 --> 00:30:56,828
so that Hattie Carter
can show off her lovely legs?
594
00:30:56,938 --> 00:30:59,304
It seems unlikely.
595
00:30:59,407 --> 00:31:02,376
Passions run high
among these artist types.
596
00:31:02,477 --> 00:31:06,379
Yes.
Artists do have all the fun.
597
00:31:07,148 --> 00:31:09,207
It doesn't seem fair.
598
00:31:13,321 --> 00:31:16,051
[Giggles]

[Indistinct conversations]
600
00:31:30,838 --> 00:31:32,362
Well, thank you very much
for your time.
601
00:31:32,473 --> 00:31:33,371
Sirs,
602
00:31:33,474 --> 00:31:36,136
I have gleaned some information
on the Jubilee Singers.
603
00:31:36,244 --> 00:31:38,269
Before they left for England,
they played in Buffalo.
604
00:31:38,379 --> 00:31:40,006
This was about a year ago.
605
00:31:40,114 --> 00:31:42,105
It was before their popularity
was waning,
606
00:31:42,216 --> 00:31:43,410
- but it seems...
- Get on with it, Crabtree.
607
00:31:43,518 --> 00:31:45,418
Sirs. They played
the Adelphi Theatre.
608
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,488
It was one night
and seemingly uneventful,
609
00:31:47,589 --> 00:31:49,250
except
for one strange occurrence.
610
00:31:49,357 --> 00:31:50,483
Near the theater,
611
00:31:50,592 --> 00:31:54,050
a man by the name of Sam Brooks
was beaten to death.
612
00:31:54,162 --> 00:31:56,153
- Was he colored?
- No, sir, he was quite white.
613
00:31:56,264 --> 00:31:57,993
I just got off the telephone
with his widow.
614
00:31:58,099 --> 00:31:59,566
The murderer was never found.
615
00:31:59,867 --> 00:32:01,858
Perhaps the death of Sam Brooks
616
00:32:01,970 --> 00:32:04,097
is the secret
the group is trying to hide.
617
00:32:04,205 --> 00:32:07,106
Didn't Mr. Peters
hire Buddy Duncan in Buffalo?
618
00:32:07,208 --> 00:32:09,369
He did.
619
00:32:10,545 --> 00:32:14,447
Mr. Duncan, why did you join
the Jubilee Singers?
620
00:32:14,549 --> 00:32:16,915
- Uh...
- Nathan saw Buddy playing
621
00:32:17,018 --> 00:32:18,349
with a group on the same bill.
622
00:32:18,453 --> 00:32:19,579
He was impressed
with his talent.
623
00:32:19,887 --> 00:32:21,286
So he hired him.
So, what?
624
00:32:21,389 --> 00:32:23,550
Why doesn't Mr. Duncan
answer for himself?
625
00:32:23,858 --> 00:32:28,090
Uh, Buddy's not so good with
authority, uh, police and such.
626
00:32:28,196 --> 00:32:30,357
Maybe there's a good reason.
627
00:32:30,465 --> 00:32:33,161
The night that Buddy joined
the Jubilee Singers in Buffalo,
628
00:32:33,267 --> 00:32:36,464
a man named Sam Brooks
was murdered.
629
00:32:36,571 --> 00:32:39,972
- His killer is still at large.
- We know nothing of a killing.
630
00:32:40,074 --> 00:32:43,043
I'm not sure I believe you,
Mrs. Peters.
631
00:32:43,144 --> 00:32:44,941
Miss Carter?
632
00:32:45,046 --> 00:32:48,209
Have you something
you'd care to add?
633
00:32:50,918 --> 00:32:52,476
Perhaps
the Buffalo Police Department
634
00:32:52,587 --> 00:32:55,385
would be interested
in Mr. Duncan's sudden departure
635
00:32:55,490 --> 00:32:57,082
the night
that Sam Brooks was murdered.
636
00:32:57,191 --> 00:32:58,351
Not Buddy.
637
00:32:58,459 --> 00:33:00,927
We've said all there is to say.
638
00:33:05,033 --> 00:33:07,001
Then you leave me no choice,
Miss Carter.
639
00:33:07,101 --> 00:33:09,069
I can't tell you anything.
640
00:33:09,170 --> 00:33:11,900
Then my constables will arrest
Mr. Duncan within the hour
641
00:33:12,006 --> 00:33:13,473
and escort him back to Buffalo.
642
00:33:13,574 --> 00:33:16,099
- You can't do that!
- I most certainly can.
643

It's not what you think.
646
00:33:21,416 --> 00:33:25,250
Buddy was ambushed outside the
Buffalo theater by a white man.
647
00:33:25,353 --> 00:33:27,116
Did Buddy kill Sam Brooks?
648
00:33:27,221 --> 00:33:30,156
Nathan heard the commotion
and came to Buddy's aid.
649
00:33:30,258 --> 00:33:33,659
But it was too late.
Brooks lay dead from fighting.
650
00:33:34,395 --> 00:33:36,920
Buddy didn't mean to kill him.
651
00:33:37,031 --> 00:33:39,090
A man has
the right to defend himself.
652
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,134
And a Negro man
has the same right, sir.
653
00:33:41,235 --> 00:33:44,932
Did everyone in the group
know what Mr. Duncan had done?
654
00:33:45,039 --> 00:33:48,372
You don't know what it is
to live in black skin, sir.
655
00:33:49,243 --> 00:33:51,541
He's no killer.
656
00:33:51,646 --> 00:33:53,511
It was self-defense.
657
00:33:54,716 --> 00:33:57,014
So you've all harbored him
ever since.
658
00:33:57,118 --> 00:33:59,109
Nathan prayed for guidance.
659
00:33:59,220 --> 00:34:00,414
What choice was there?
660
00:34:00,521 --> 00:34:02,011
He rescued Buddy
from sure death.
661
00:34:02,123 --> 00:34:04,318

put a noose around his neck.

waste any more of your time.

sir.

What business do you have
with him?

in Buffalo, Mrs. Brooks.

We were going to run away
together.

But Sam figured out
what was going on.
684
00:35:12,226 --> 00:35:14,160
He stormed off to the theater.
685
00:35:14,262 --> 00:35:17,197
I was scared
he would do harm to Buddy...
686
00:35:17,298 --> 00:35:19,061
kill him and me both.

never returned home.

I tried to find Buddy.
But he was gone.

Did you know
you were carrying Buddy's child?

know about your son?

00:35:42,623 --> 00:35:43,783
I learned the Jubilee Singers
697
00:35:44,091 --> 00:35:45,388
were back
and playing in Toronto.
698
00:35:45,493 --> 00:35:46,517
So I took the train up.
699
00:35:46,627 --> 00:35:48,117
But by the time I got here,
700
00:35:48,229 --> 00:35:50,288
there was no one at the theater
but Mr. Peters.
701
00:35:50,398 --> 00:35:52,525
And you told Mr. Peters
your story?
702
00:35:52,633 --> 00:35:53,691
Yes.
703
00:35:53,801 --> 00:35:56,395
He was pretty upset
about the baby.
704
00:35:56,504 --> 00:35:59,371
And did you see Buddy Duncan?
705
00:35:59,473 --> 00:36:02,237
Mr. Peters told me
he'd left the group.
706
00:36:02,343 --> 00:36:05,710
Sent me back to Buffalo
without a kind word.
707
00:36:08,482 --> 00:36:12,043
Mrs. Brooks, why have you
now returned to Toronto?
708
00:36:12,153 --> 00:36:14,644
I got the telephone call
from Constable Crabtree
709
00:36:14,755 --> 00:36:16,814
asking about Sam's murder.
710
00:36:17,124 --> 00:36:19,058
He mentioned Buddy's name.
711
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,823
That's when I realized
Mr. Peters lied to me.
712
00:36:23,130 --> 00:36:25,428
Buddy was still in Toronto.
713
00:36:26,267 --> 00:36:27,325
Why would he do that?
714
00:36:27,435 --> 00:36:30,563
Why not tell me Buddy was here?
715
00:36:35,243 --> 00:36:38,474
That night in Buffalo,
Nathan Peters hears a fight.
716
00:36:38,579 --> 00:36:39,705
He steps outside
717
00:36:39,814 --> 00:36:43,147
to find Buddy Duncan
standing over a dead Sam Brooks.
718
00:36:43,251 --> 00:36:46,584
Mr. Duncan claims self-defense
in a racial attack.
719
00:36:46,687 --> 00:36:49,247
Nathan Peters
is a good Christian man,
720
00:36:49,357 --> 00:36:50,722
empathetic towards
a fellow Negro.
721
00:36:50,825 --> 00:36:52,190
He takes him into the group.
722
00:36:52,293 --> 00:36:54,454
But a year later, he learns
the truth from Cora Brooks.
723
00:36:54,562 --> 00:36:56,462
Sam Brooks set upon Buddy Duncan
724
00:36:56,564 --> 00:36:59,158
because the man was having
relations with his wife.
725
00:36:59,267 --> 00:37:00,791
Nathan's very upset
with Buddy now.
726
00:37:00,902 --> 00:37:02,597
Buddy didn't give him
the whole story.
727
00:37:02,703 --> 00:37:04,637
And now that a white woman
is looking for him,
728
00:37:04,739 --> 00:37:06,468
the police can't be far behind.
729
00:37:06,574 --> 00:37:08,735
Nathan goes to the Blind Pig
to confront him.
730
00:37:08,843 --> 00:37:12,210
Buddy Duncan kills
Nathan Peters.
731
00:37:14,181 --> 00:37:15,876
Mrs. Peters? A moment.
732
00:37:16,183 --> 00:37:17,548
[Horse snorts]
733
00:37:20,621 --> 00:37:22,486
Where is Mr. Duncan?
734
00:37:22,590 --> 00:37:24,387
- [Door closes]
- I wish we knew.
735
00:37:24,492 --> 00:37:26,426
He's gonna miss the train
if he doesn't show soon.
736
00:37:26,527 --> 00:37:28,358
Face it, Hardy,
he's taken off on us.
737
00:37:28,462 --> 00:37:29,588
What do you want with Buddy?
738
00:37:29,697 --> 00:37:30,891
I'm here to arrest him
739
00:37:31,198 --> 00:37:32,722
for the murder of your husband,
Mrs. Peters.
740
00:37:32,833 --> 00:37:35,233
You're wrong.
Buddy's no murderer.
741
00:37:35,336 --> 00:37:37,566
I know he killed Sam Brooks
in Buffalo.
742
00:37:37,672 --> 00:37:39,799
Thanks to Hattie's big mouth.
That was different.
743
00:37:39,907 --> 00:37:42,205
He was defending himself.
That man meant to kill him.
744
00:37:42,310 --> 00:37:43,777
Buddy wouldn't harm Nathan.
745
00:37:43,878 --> 00:37:46,745
His sudden disappearance
would suggest otherwise.
746
00:37:46,847 --> 00:37:48,212
What are you doing here,
Detective?
747
00:37:48,316 --> 00:37:49,806
He thinks Buddy murdered Nathan.
748
00:37:49,917 --> 00:37:51,817
[Exhales sharply] You're
looking at the wrong people.
749
00:37:51,919 --> 00:37:54,149
Why would we harm
one of our own?
750
00:38:09,236 --> 00:38:11,466
Mr. Hughes...
751
00:38:11,572 --> 00:38:14,598
why would you kill
your best friend?
752
00:38:14,709 --> 00:38:15,801
What are you talking about?
753
00:38:15,910 --> 00:38:17,901
You're under arrest, Mr. Hughes.
754
00:38:18,212 --> 00:38:19,907
Ozzy, what's he saying?
755
00:38:20,681 --> 00:38:22,273
MURDOCH:
Your trombone case.
756
00:38:22,383 --> 00:38:25,819
I believe it will match the
wound that killed Mr. Peters.
757
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:27,512
CHLOE: Ozzy?
758
00:38:32,793 --> 00:38:34,192
It was an accident.
759
00:38:34,295 --> 00:38:35,762
[Exhales sharply]
760
00:38:35,863 --> 00:38:37,831
HUGHES:
Please, forgive me, Chloe. I...
761
00:38:37,932 --> 00:38:39,797
How could you?
762
00:38:40,768 --> 00:38:42,360
Wait, you don't...
763
00:38:42,903 --> 00:38:45,838
No, you... you can't think
I meant to kill him.
764
00:38:45,940 --> 00:38:47,965
No, I...
765
00:38:50,745 --> 00:38:53,578
I saw him outside the theater,
talking to a white woman.
766
00:38:53,681 --> 00:38:55,273
BROOKS:
We have a child together.
767
00:38:55,383 --> 00:38:56,611
- Please.
- No.
768
00:38:56,717 --> 00:38:58,981
HUGHES: And he was upset.
So I knew something was up.
769
00:39:02,390 --> 00:39:04,449
I followed him to the Blind Pig.
770
00:39:04,558 --> 00:39:07,288
And then Nathan told me that...
771
00:39:07,395 --> 00:39:09,625
Why, he said
Buddy had to leave the band.
772
00:39:09,730 --> 00:39:13,894
So I pleaded with him not
to fire Buddy. We needed him.
773
00:39:14,001 --> 00:39:15,696
What's going on with that lady?
774
00:39:15,803 --> 00:39:18,636
But he just wouldn't listen.
He kept being his old...
775
00:39:18,739 --> 00:39:20,434
Well, you know how stubborn
he was.
776
00:39:20,541 --> 00:39:21,735
Buddy's out the band.
777
00:39:21,842 --> 00:39:22,866
Buddy...
778
00:39:22,977 --> 00:39:24,467
So we argued.
779
00:39:24,578 --> 00:39:27,445
He grabbed me.
I lost my balance.
780
00:39:27,548 --> 00:39:31,279
My case must have accidentally
swung up and hit him, but...
781
00:39:31,819 --> 00:39:32,808
[Sighs]
782
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,412
...I didn't realize
I hit him that hard.
783
00:39:40,828 --> 00:39:43,422
Buddy was our future.
784
00:39:43,898 --> 00:39:46,731
Without him, the Jubilee Singers
were finished.
785
00:39:46,834 --> 00:39:48,734
You all know that.
786
00:39:53,941 --> 00:39:57,741
I didn't want Nathan to die.
787
00:39:57,845 --> 00:39:59,904
He was my best friend.
788
00:40:00,014 --> 00:40:02,346
Your best friend?
789
00:40:02,450 --> 00:40:04,850
He was my husband.
790
00:40:04,952 --> 00:40:08,854
And y-you tossed him away
like a piece of garbage.
791
00:40:09,623 --> 00:40:11,648
What did you think?
No one would ask questions?
792
00:40:11,759 --> 00:40:16,287
He was just a dead Negro
no one would care about?
793
00:40:16,897 --> 00:40:18,888
Please forgive me, Chloe.
794
00:40:20,601 --> 00:40:21,966
No.

800

Sam Brooks was outraged
801
00:40:53,734 --> 00:40:56,396
that a Negro man
was sleeping with his wife.
802
00:40:56,504 --> 00:40:59,496
He attacked,
and Buddy Duncan fought back.
803

Each defending his male pride.
804

Buddy Duncan may have killed
Sam Brooks in self-defense,
805
00:41:05,079 --> 00:41:08,048
but he set in motion
a series of tragic events.
806

Including Cora Brooks
and her child.
807
00:41:10,851 --> 00:41:12,580
She seemed determined
to find him.
808
00:41:12,686 --> 00:41:16,122
Of course.
She's in love with him.
809
00:41:16,423 --> 00:41:19,620

can be quite tenacious.
810

with Buddy and his band.
