Right, then, Miss Rosevear,
what was he wearing?

Uh, he was wearing a long coat.

216

All in all, I think
he was quite shifty-looking.

Shifty.

218
00:10:27,670 --> 00:10:29,790
I know that the mind
is the seat of reason, George,

219

and that the mind resides
in the brain.

220
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,460
Yes, but the brain is also
the dominion of the soul, Henry.

221
00:10:35,670 --> 00:10:38,220
Does that mean that the mind
and the soul are connected?

222

Well, I suppose
it's all in there.

Yes, sir. I'm on the case

But the brain
is the most important part.

There's a Dr. Dempsey
at the university, sir.

It was later stolen, possibly by
a man who was seen in the park.

torn out the three pages

00:17:00,060 --> 00:17:03,230
Still, to have it pickled
in a jar...

What do you mean, Constable?

Of course.

DR. OGDEN:
You're absolutely correct.

358
00:17:16,780 --> 00:17:19,080
There are signs of petechial
hemorrhage in the victim's eyes.

359

Are you sure?

360
00:17:20,330 --> 00:17:21,910
You did well to spot them.

361
00:17:22,120 --> 00:17:24,250
These tiny markings
can be difficult to identify.

362
00:17:24,460 --> 00:17:26,040
Well, a second set of eyes
never hurts.

363
00:17:26,250 --> 00:17:27,420
I was happy to help.

364
00:17:27,630 --> 00:17:29,670
We should let the detective know
right away.

365
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,760
Actually, I may just wait till
this evening to see William.

Oh.

of the honeymoon continues.

Doctor,
have you something for me,

379
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:10,920
or is this is a social visit?

380
00:18:11,130 --> 00:18:13,510
No.
I mean, yes.

381
00:18:14,630 --> 00:18:16,590
I have a further report
on Mr. Sampson.

382
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,760
- Oh.
- I now believe he died

383
00:18:18,970 --> 00:18:22,010
longer than 24 hours
before his body was found.

384

I see.

385
00:18:23,060 --> 00:18:25,060
DR. GRACE: And after
a more detailed examination,

386
00:18:25,270 --> 00:18:29,730
I can confirm he was indeed
stabbed but stabbed postmortem.

387
00:18:30,650 --> 00:18:31,570
Well, how did he die?

388
00:18:31,770 --> 00:18:32,900
Suffocation.

389
00:18:33,110 --> 00:18:34,110
Likely smothered.

390
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:35,280
Are you quite sure?

391
00:18:35,490 --> 00:18:36,860
DR. GRACE:
I was astonished myself.

392
00:18:37,070 --> 00:18:39,320
But my curiosity was piqued
when I saw possible signs

393
00:18:39,530 --> 00:18:41,580
of petechial hemorrhaging
in his eyes.

394
00:18:41,780 --> 00:18:43,490
I asked Dr. Ogden
for a second opinion.

395
00:18:43,700 --> 00:18:45,660
She supported my conclusion.

396
00:18:46,580 --> 00:18:49,250
But if he was smothered
before he was stabbed,

397
00:18:49,460 --> 00:18:51,790
how did he write the message
in his own blood?

398
00:18:52,500 --> 00:18:54,500
Dr. Grace,
your report throws new light

399
00:18:54,710 --> 00:18:56,420
even as it casts more shadow.

400
00:18:56,630 --> 00:18:58,300
How eloquent, Detective.

401
00:18:58,510 --> 00:19:01,850
Quite a romantic turn of phrase.

402
00:19:02,050 --> 00:19:02,760
I'm sorry?

and have stronger bills.

Oh, some would say
it's my forte.

So, what do you think, Clara?

426
00:20:06,580 --> 00:20:09,120
Do the election rules
prevent a woman from running?

Were a woman to be elected, I'm
sure the doors to Queen's Park

who furthered the myth
of the bearded man.

530
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,310
I was led to a series of clues,
including "Blue Sky"

531
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,150
and the photograph which
featured you, Miss Cranston,

532
00:24:48,360 --> 00:24:49,940
and the mysterious Mr. Maxwell,

533
00:24:50,150 --> 00:24:52,740
which was, in fact, you,
Mr. Barnes, with a false beard.

534
00:24:52,950 --> 00:24:54,200
BARNES:
It wasn't false.

535
00:24:54,410 --> 00:24:55,620
I grew it especially
for the part.

536
00:24:55,820 --> 00:24:58,450
Didn't I tell you?
I knew he would figure it out.

537
00:24:59,580 --> 00:25:03,040
This has all been a game

538
00:25:03,250 --> 00:25:07,250
and a colossal waste of the
constabulary's valuable time.

539
00:25:07,460 --> 00:25:09,630
What were you hoping to achieve?

540
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,090
We wanted to watch you
as you work, Detective Murdoch.

541
00:25:13,930 --> 00:25:14,930
Watch me work?

542
00:25:16,220 --> 00:25:19,640
- Why?
- To appreciate you.

543
00:25:19,850 --> 00:25:22,480
We are such admirers
of your detective skills.

544
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,690
- And the rest.
- Ruby.

545
00:25:24,890 --> 00:25:27,360
BARNES: We read about your
successes in the newspaper,

546
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,070

to discuss your clever ways.

and your analytical mind.

548
00:25:33,820 --> 00:25:36,660
I'm most surprised by you,
Mrs. Dewar.

549
00:25:36,870 --> 00:25:38,490
We meant no harm.

550
00:25:38,700 --> 00:25:40,870
But your actions were harmful.

551
00:25:41,580 --> 00:25:45,250
The corpse you stole
was more than just a plaything

552
00:25:45,460 --> 00:25:46,500
in your macabre game.

553
00:25:46,710 --> 00:25:47,830
What do you mean?

554
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,960
Professor Andrew Richardson
did not die of natural causes.

555
00:25:52,170 --> 00:25:54,470
He was, in fact, murdered.

556
00:25:54,670 --> 00:25:55,680
DEWAR: Oh.

557
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,470
- Murdered?
- MURDOCH: Yes.

558
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,390
And thanks
to your ridiculous antics,

559
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,100
the true killer may very likely
have escaped justice.

560
00:26:08,230 --> 00:26:10,070
How uncanny.

561
00:26:10,270 --> 00:26:12,480
We stage a fictional mystery,

562
00:26:12,690 --> 00:26:16,860
and the corpse we borrow
is actually a murder victim.

563
00:26:17,070 --> 00:26:19,200
How did you obtain
Mr. Richardson's body?

564
00:26:19,410 --> 00:26:20,330
BARNES:
That was my doing.

565
00:26:20,530 --> 00:26:22,790
I was a medical student at one
time and knew the building well.

566
00:26:22,990 --> 00:26:25,540
When we conceived the notion
of a murder investigation,

567
00:26:25,750 --> 00:26:27,330
I agreed to procure the corpse.

568
00:26:27,540 --> 00:26:28,790
And the blood
at the crime scene?

569
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,880
Pig's blood, sir.

570
00:26:31,090 --> 00:26:33,510
My brother works
at a slaughterhouse.

571
00:26:33,710 --> 00:26:35,630
Pretty convincing, though,
wasn't it?

572
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,930
We devised roles in the mystery
around our real lives.

573
00:26:39,140 --> 00:26:42,220
You concocted
a fanciful amusement

574
00:26:42,430 --> 00:26:46,100
which I must now undo
to investigate a real murder.

575
00:26:46,310 --> 00:26:47,350
Perhaps we can be of assistance.

576
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:48,020
No.

577
00:26:48,230 --> 00:26:51,400
Mrs. Dewar has a brilliant mind
and an excellent memory.

578
00:26:51,610 --> 00:26:52,520

There's no need. The brain
has already deteriorated.

that Richardson
had been smothered to death.

mercifully in his sleep.

Was anyone with him

656
00:30:09,180 --> 00:30:11,720
My sister Hattie
came by every evening.

657
00:30:11,930 --> 00:30:13,140
It was something of a ritual.

658
00:30:13,350 --> 00:30:15,140
She would bring over
chamomile tea,

discuss matters of philosophy.

00:32:17,270 --> 00:32:19,060
Hattie Baker
is not your murderer.

706
00:32:19,270 --> 00:32:21,270
Oh, and what brought you
to that conclusion?

707
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,440
The victim's wife placed the
arsenic in her sister's house.

708
00:32:23,650 --> 00:32:26,320
- Yes, and we can prove it.
- We have photographs!

709
00:32:30,110 --> 00:32:33,820
But we helped you catch
the real murderer!

710
00:32:42,620 --> 00:32:44,790
MURDOCH:
You were poisoning your husband.

711
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,500
Why?

712
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,260
He never stopped going on
about my lack of brains,

713
00:32:53,470 --> 00:32:55,680
how Hattie was
his intellectual equal.

714
00:32:55,890 --> 00:32:59,020
I couldn't shine a light to her
or him.

715
00:33:00,060 --> 00:33:01,770
I may not be that clever,
Detective,

716
00:33:01,980 --> 00:33:03,350
but I still have feelings.

717
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,310
That counts for something.

718
00:33:06,650 --> 00:33:10,190
When Andrew boasted that doctor
wanted his superior brain

719
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:14,070
for science, I saw my chance.

720
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,820
You began to poison him.

721
00:33:17,620 --> 00:33:19,620
In his suet pudding.

722
00:33:19,830 --> 00:33:22,500
Believing the true cause
of death would go undetected

723
00:33:22,710 --> 00:33:24,960
when his body was brought
to the medical school.

724
00:33:26,540 --> 00:33:28,500
That Dr. Dempsey was so keen
to get at his brain,

725
00:33:28,710 --> 00:33:30,840
I knew he wouldn't look
at anything else.

726
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,220
But why frame
your sister Hattie?

727
00:33:35,430 --> 00:33:37,390
RICHARDSON:
She thought she was so smart.

728
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,560
Let her use her brilliant mind

729
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,930
to wriggle
out of a murder charge.

730
00:33:43,270 --> 00:33:45,730
The poison wasn't working
quickly enough.

731
00:33:46,980 --> 00:33:49,070
So you smothered your husband?

732
00:33:49,270 --> 00:33:51,530
Smother?
I didn't smother him.

733
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,120
We know who stabbed Richardson.
We know who poisoned him.

734
00:34:05,330 --> 00:34:07,080
But who the bloody hell
smothered him?

735
00:34:07,290 --> 00:34:08,420
Maybe it was a mercy killer

736
00:34:08,630 --> 00:34:11,000
putting the poor bugger
out of his misery.

737
00:34:11,210 --> 00:34:13,630
Perhaps the housekeeper
that was looking after him.

738
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:15,420
Or Hattie Baker,
for that matter.

739
00:34:15,630 --> 00:34:16,680
You spoke to both of them,
George.

740
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,260
Yes, sir,
they both swear up and down

741
00:34:18,470 --> 00:34:19,680
that Mr. Richardson
was still alive

742
00:34:19,890 --> 00:34:20,760
when they left the house
together.

743
00:34:20,970 --> 00:34:22,520
Sound asleep but alive.

744
00:34:22,720 --> 00:34:24,230
So they did it together

745
00:34:24,430 --> 00:34:26,560
or someone else was in the house
that night.

746
00:34:26,770 --> 00:34:28,270
Sirs, when I was in Unionville

747
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,690
questioning the women
in question,

748
00:34:30,900 --> 00:34:32,280
I took the liberty
of having a look around.

749
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,610
I found a set of footprints
near the side of the house.

750
00:34:34,820 --> 00:34:35,610
And then in a shed,

751
00:34:35,820 --> 00:34:37,700
there was a ladder
with some fresh mud on it.

752
00:34:37,910 --> 00:34:40,120
I mean, I wonder if somebody
could have just climbed up

753
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,620
into Mr. Richardson's room
in the dead of the night.

754
00:34:42,830 --> 00:34:44,370
Very good, George.

755
00:34:44,580 --> 00:34:46,660
Mrs. Richardson
had taken a sleeping draft.

756
00:34:46,870 --> 00:34:48,500
She wouldn't have heard
an intruder.

757
00:34:48,710 --> 00:34:51,920
But who had motive
to kill Mr. Richardson?

758
00:34:52,130 --> 00:34:54,340
BRACKENREID: What about that
Dr. Dempsey from the university?

759
00:34:54,550 --> 00:34:56,760
What if he killed Richardson
to obtain his brain

760
00:34:56,970 --> 00:34:58,720
before his research money
disappeared?

761
00:34:58,930 --> 00:35:01,180
According to the widow,
Dempsey had spent some time

762
00:35:01,390 --> 00:35:02,760
there at the house
with Mr. Richardson.

763
00:35:02,970 --> 00:35:03,970
He'd have known the place.

764
00:35:04,180 --> 00:35:05,890
So he had motive
and opportunity.

765
00:35:06,100 --> 00:35:07,140
BRACKENREID:
Impressive plan.

766
00:35:07,350 --> 00:35:08,980
Smother Richardson in his sleep,

767
00:35:09,190 --> 00:35:10,730
then get the body
delivered to your door.

768
00:35:10,940 --> 00:35:14,110
Any evidence would have ended up
in the university incinerator

769
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,320
when the cadaver
was disposed of.

770
00:35:16,530 --> 00:35:18,990
That's the hallmark
of a perfect murder.

771
00:35:19,700 --> 00:35:21,240
Studying intelligence

772
00:35:21,450 --> 00:35:24,290
by examining the brains
of intellectuals.

773
00:35:24,490 --> 00:35:27,370
I imagine finding suitable
subjects wouldn't be that easy.

774
00:35:27,580 --> 00:35:28,620
Sadly true.

775
00:35:28,830 --> 00:35:30,170
The superstitious belief

776
00:35:30,370 --> 00:35:33,290
that the body retains
some sort of soul after death

777
00:35:33,500 --> 00:35:35,840
still prevails,
even among the high-minded.

778
00:35:36,050 --> 00:35:38,340
Utter nonsense, of course.

779
00:35:38,550 --> 00:35:42,300
But you're not here to discuss
metaphysics, Detective.

780
00:35:42,510 --> 00:35:44,720
I understand
Professor Richardson

781
00:35:44,930 --> 00:35:46,350
was a coveted specimen

782
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,270
and that you were under pressure
to prove your hypothesis

783
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,520
before you lost
your financial backing.

784
00:35:51,730 --> 00:35:52,480
I was.

785
00:35:52,690 --> 00:35:54,690
How convenient, then,
that Professor Richardson's body

786
00:35:54,900 --> 00:35:56,820
wound up
on your dissecting table

787
00:35:57,030 --> 00:36:00,070
just before
that funding dried up.

788
00:36:00,910 --> 00:36:01,950
Where were you the night

789
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:03,820
that Professor Richardson died,
Doctor?

790
00:36:04,030 --> 00:36:05,450
What you are suggesting?

791
00:36:05,660 --> 00:36:06,910
The professor was murdered.

792
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,080
You knew he'd been ailing
for some time.

793
00:36:09,290 --> 00:36:10,830
You simply
helped the process along.

794
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,290
[ Scoffs ]
That is absolutely ridiculous.

795
00:36:13,500 --> 00:36:16,000
The circumstances are
very compelling, Dr. Dempsey.

796
00:36:16,210 --> 00:36:19,630
Get out of my lab, Detective.
I have important work to do.

797
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:20,880
MURDOCH:
Really?

798
00:36:21,090 --> 00:36:23,890
I understood that you lost
your financial backing

799
00:36:24,100 --> 00:36:25,640
along with
the professor's brain.

800
00:36:25,850 --> 00:36:28,350
Not that it's any concern of
yours, but I have another donor

801
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,020
of equal intelligence
and at an advanced age.

802
00:36:31,230 --> 00:36:32,810
The papers will be signed
this afternoon.

803
00:36:33,020 --> 00:36:34,520
But your funding...

804
00:36:34,730 --> 00:36:37,530
It will not be long before
my research is again under way.

805
00:36:38,690 --> 00:36:40,780
Good day to you, Detective.

806
00:36:41,990 --> 00:36:43,360
So, you think he's our man.

807
00:36:43,570 --> 00:36:45,240
Yes, but to prove it?

808
00:36:45,450 --> 00:36:46,660
He's Mr. Clever Clogs,
all right.

809
00:36:46,870 --> 00:36:48,580
George and I will go back up
to Unionville,

810
00:36:48,790 --> 00:36:50,500
see if there's anything
we might have missed.

811
00:36:50,710 --> 00:36:51,710
Worth a try.
What else?

812
00:36:51,910 --> 00:36:53,330
Well, sir,
we've wrung all we can

813
00:36:53,540 --> 00:36:54,790
out of the poor professor's
body.

814
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,500
Any evidence
is long gone anyway,

815
00:36:56,710 --> 00:36:58,960
thanks to the boneheads
still in my jail cell.

816
00:36:59,170 --> 00:37:00,380
What should we to do with them?

817
00:37:00,590 --> 00:37:02,590
Sir, I'd love
to charge them all, but --

818
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,300
We wouldn't have a clue
about this murder without them.

819
00:37:04,510 --> 00:37:06,140
- BARNES: ...Detective Murdoch.
- Aye-aye.

820
00:37:06,350 --> 00:37:08,350
Speak of the devil.

821
00:37:14,770 --> 00:37:16,310
Mr. Barnes, how can I help?

822
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:18,980
It's Mrs. Dewar. I think
she's put herself in harm's way.

823
00:37:19,190 --> 00:37:21,360
Oh. Right this way.

824
00:37:23,650 --> 00:37:25,360
- Have a seat.
- Thank you.

825
00:37:29,700 --> 00:37:31,040
What about Mrs. Dewar?

826
00:37:31,250 --> 00:37:32,660
We were having tea
at the bookshop,

827
00:37:32,870 --> 00:37:33,960
discussing
Mr. Richardson's murder,

828
00:37:34,170 --> 00:37:37,500
when we hit upon a bizarre,
though plausible, theory.

829
00:37:37,710 --> 00:37:38,540
Which was?

830
00:37:38,750 --> 00:37:41,710
Dr. Dempsey, the brain
researcher, might be the killer.

831
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:43,420
I talked with friends
at the school,

832
00:37:43,630 --> 00:37:45,010
and it turns out
that Dr. Dempsey

833
00:37:45,220 --> 00:37:47,720
was under terrible pressure
to prove his neuron thesis.

834
00:37:47,930 --> 00:37:49,180
He needed a brain tout de suite.

835
00:37:49,390 --> 00:37:53,680
So I thought perhaps he took
matters into his own hands.

836
00:37:53,890 --> 00:37:56,650
Mr. Barnes, what does this
have to do with Mrs. Dewar?

837
00:37:56,850 --> 00:37:59,110
She has come up with a plan
to entrap the doctor.

838
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,150
She donated her brain.

839
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:02,530
BARNES: Yes.

840
00:38:02,740 --> 00:38:04,780
The puzzle that Dr. Dempsey
placed in the newspaper?

841
00:38:04,990 --> 00:38:07,490
She had already completed it,
so she took it to the doctor.

842
00:38:07,700 --> 00:38:10,240
He of course wanted her brain,
and she said yes.

843
00:38:10,450 --> 00:38:12,160
You were going to
lure Dr. Dempsey

844
00:38:12,370 --> 00:38:13,750
into trying to kill Mrs. Dewar?

845
00:38:13,950 --> 00:38:16,670
Exactly. Catch him red-handed,
so to speak.

846
00:38:16,870 --> 00:38:18,710
But I started
to have second thoughts.

847
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,920
I tried talking her out of it,
but she wouldn't listen.

848
00:38:21,130 --> 00:38:22,130
That's why I came here.

849
00:38:22,340 --> 00:38:23,340
George.

850
00:38:24,630 --> 00:38:25,420
Sir?

851
00:38:25,630 --> 00:38:26,970
Telephone
the Faculty of Medicine.

852
00:38:27,180 --> 00:38:29,470
I need to speak with Dr. Dempsey
urgently.

853
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:30,760
Sir.

854
00:38:31,430 --> 00:38:33,850
Mr. Barnes, I believe Mrs. Dewar

855
00:38:34,060 --> 00:38:36,190
is due to sign the donor papers
today.

856
00:38:36,890 --> 00:38:38,150
I tried to dissuade her.

857
00:38:38,350 --> 00:38:41,150
Really I did.
I told her it was too risky.

858
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,230
- But she wouldn't hear it.
- Why not?

859
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,070
Catching the real killer

860
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,570
was to be her apology to you,
Detective,

861
00:38:47,780 --> 00:38:50,160
for interfering
the way that we did.

862
00:38:50,370 --> 00:38:51,830
Oh, Lord.

863
00:38:53,450 --> 00:38:56,790
Sir, Dempsey left the School
of Medicine 15 minutes ago.

864
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:58,540
We must leave at once.

865
00:39:05,210 --> 00:39:06,800
That's Dr. Dempsey's carriage.

866
00:39:07,010 --> 00:39:07,930
Please hurry, Detective.

867
00:39:08,130 --> 00:39:10,140
He might already
be smothering Mrs. Dewar.

868
00:39:16,730 --> 00:39:17,810
MURDOCH:
Doctor, step aside.

869
00:39:19,140 --> 00:39:20,980
How dare you?
I am examining my patient.

870
00:39:21,190 --> 00:39:22,270
BARNES:
Are you all right, Mrs. Dewar?

871
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,570
I am now that you
and the detective are here.

872
00:39:25,780 --> 00:39:27,070
What on earth?

873
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:28,650
MURDOCH: Well, well.
The murder weapon.

874
00:39:28,860 --> 00:39:30,990
DEMPSEY:
That is not mine.

875
00:39:31,700 --> 00:39:33,990
Nigel Barnes,
you are under arrest

876
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:35,620
for the murder
of Andrew Richardson.

877
00:39:35,830 --> 00:39:37,870
DEWAR:
My goodness!

878
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,420
What are you doing?
Dempsey is your murderer.

879
00:39:40,620 --> 00:39:43,380
So you led me to believe.

880
00:39:43,590 --> 00:39:45,800
But you are the killer,
Mr. Barnes.

881
00:39:46,010 --> 00:39:47,970
Why would you think that?

882
00:39:48,170 --> 00:39:49,590
On the way here,
you were concerned

883
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,100
that Dr. Dempsey was
going to smother Mrs. Dewar.

884
00:39:53,300 --> 00:39:54,680
So?

885
00:39:54,890 --> 00:39:56,640
MURDOCH: There is only one way
you could have known

886
00:39:56,850 --> 00:39:58,810
how Professor Richardson
was killed.

887
00:39:59,730 --> 00:40:01,310
You did the smothering.

888
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,480
[ Chuckles nervously]

889
00:40:03,690 --> 00:40:05,520
You told us how he died,
Detective.

890
00:40:05,730 --> 00:40:08,030
You told the whole group.
Isn't that right, Mrs. Dewar?

891
00:40:08,240 --> 00:40:10,910
As I recall,
Detective Murdoch told us

892
00:40:11,110 --> 00:40:12,740
that Professor Richardson
was murdered

893
00:40:12,950 --> 00:40:14,950
but not how he was murdered.

894
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,830
You were upset at the time.
You've forgotten.

895
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:19,290
I don't think so, dear.

896
00:40:19,500 --> 00:40:22,080
You said so yourself --
I have an excellent memory.

897
00:40:23,290 --> 00:40:25,790
- This is absurd.
- DEWAR: Honestly, Mr. Barnes.

898
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:27,760
Do you really think
you could outwit

899
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,510
the great Detective Murdoch?

900
00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:32,050
MURDOCH:
[Clears throat]

901
00:40:32,890 --> 00:40:34,180
Take him way, George.

902
00:40:38,350 --> 00:40:41,890
So, Mrs. Dewar,
about your brain.

903
00:40:42,100 --> 00:40:44,020
Even with this
unpleasant incident,

904
00:40:44,230 --> 00:40:46,900
I trust our agreement
still stands.

905
00:40:47,110 --> 00:40:49,070
After your death, of course.

906
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:50,900
I don't see why not.

907
00:40:51,610 --> 00:40:52,660
Thank you.

908
00:40:52,860 --> 00:40:54,820
And, Detective,

909
00:40:55,030 --> 00:40:57,660
you'd be an excellent candidate
for my study.

910
00:40:57,870 --> 00:41:00,410
When the time comes, of course.

911
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,210
So, Doctor, what do you make
of the detective's admirers?

912
00:41:09,420 --> 00:41:11,760
It seems the notion
of ardent followers

913
00:41:11,970 --> 00:41:14,220
is something
of a modern phenomenon.

914
00:41:14,430 --> 00:41:16,390
A byproduct of his successes,
I suppose.

915
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,310
The whole idea
is rather fascinating,

916
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,230
psychologically speaking.

917
00:41:21,430 --> 00:41:23,850
A bunch of happy dafties,
if you ask me.

918
00:41:24,060 --> 00:41:24,850
[ Chuckles ]

919
00:41:25,060 --> 00:41:27,480
I cannot believe
Mr. Barnes did it.

920
00:41:27,690 --> 00:41:29,320
Why would he kill
Professor Richardson?

921
00:41:29,530 --> 00:41:30,320
He didn't know him.

922
00:41:30,530 --> 00:41:32,900
The poor professor was an
innocent victim in all of this.

923
00:41:33,110 --> 00:41:35,280
The intended target
was Dr. Dempsey.

924
00:41:35,490 --> 00:41:37,240
But Why?

925
00:41:37,450 --> 00:41:38,950
MURDOCH:
Simple revenge.

926
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:40,660
Dr. Dempsey was the teacher

927
00:41:40,870 --> 00:41:43,330
that expelled Mr. Barnes
from the Faculty of Medicine.

928
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,830
Once he learned about
your murder idea,

929
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:48,790
he set his plan into action.

930
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,960
But why not just kill the
professor and frame Dr. Dempsey?

931
00:41:52,170 --> 00:41:54,260
Why complicate things
with the pretend murder?

932
00:41:54,470 --> 00:41:56,180
MURDOCH:
That's the clever part.

933
00:41:56,390 --> 00:41:58,100
Clever how?

934
00:41:58,300 --> 00:42:00,220
In order to frame Dr. Dempsey,

935
00:42:00,430 --> 00:42:03,100
Mr. Barnes had to devise
a perfect murder,

936
00:42:03,310 --> 00:42:05,890
one that only Dr. Dempsey
could commit.

937
00:42:06,100 --> 00:42:08,480
He knew that I would
see through the masquerade

938
00:42:08,690 --> 00:42:10,690
and find the true identity
of the victim.

939
00:42:10,900 --> 00:42:13,610
He also knew that we would find
the true cause of death,

940
00:42:13,820 --> 00:42:15,280
the smothering.

941
00:42:15,490 --> 00:42:19,780
So he had you, Mrs. Dewar, lure
Dr. Dempsey to your bookshop.

942
00:42:19,990 --> 00:42:22,410
He sowed the seeds of suspicion

943
00:42:22,620 --> 00:42:24,710
and made sure that I arrived
at just the right time.

944
00:42:24,910 --> 00:42:27,120
And the chloral hydrate
in the doctor's bag?

945
00:42:27,330 --> 00:42:29,540
The final piece of evidence
he planted.

946
00:42:29,750 --> 00:42:33,130
But our friend Mr. Barnes
was a little too eager.

947
00:42:33,340 --> 00:42:36,260
One slip of the tongue, and
our detective caught him out.

948
00:42:36,470 --> 00:42:39,140
Congratulations, Detective.

949
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,140
[Laughs]

950
00:42:47,850 --> 00:42:50,270
May I have your autograph,
Detective?

951
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,900
- All right, Miss Cranston.
- Oh.

952
00:42:53,110 --> 00:42:55,820
Well, how about a photograph,
Detective?

953
00:42:57,110 --> 00:42:59,110
Certainly.
Why not?

954
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:00,200
Henry?

955
00:43:02,740 --> 00:43:04,500
Could you please
take a photograph of us?

956
00:43:04,700 --> 00:43:05,870
Of course I can.

957
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:09,420
Miss Cranston, Mrs. Dewar,
Mr. Hume.

958
00:43:10,540 --> 00:43:11,920
- You too, Ruby.
