You asked for a detailed report, sir.
You don't have to take everything I say so literally.
Show some initiative.
This must've taken you hours.
Days, sir.
Just summarize.
Recorded crime has increased marginally over the last year, but our rates of detection have improved, particularly in the areas of murder and organized crime.
You see?
That's all you had to say.
Dismissed.
(exhales) Oh, and there's drinks later at the Brownlee for division heads.
It'd be useful to have that information, so you'll come along?
I'm sure, sir, that a man of your considerable ability doesn't need me to... That's an order, Wellington.
I assume you still wish to be promoted.
(clears throat) Yes, sir.
Then you will be at the Brownlee with your little facts and figures.

I do so love a gentleman in formal wear.

It's Miss Scarlet.
She's disappeared.

Terrible it is.
They say it's only the rich what get it, but she hasn't got two pennies to rub together.
Yes, yes, that is all very sad, but, um, what's happened to Eliza?
I got back to the house this morning just after 8:00.
I called out for her, but there was no reply.
So I went into her room, and the bed hadn't been slept in.
Well, I'm sure she had risen early, and made the bed herself.
I've known that girl since she was five years old, and not once has she ever made her bed or tidied her room.
She can barely even cook.
I fail to see the mystery-- she'll be at work.
I went to her office.
It was locked up.
I asked around, and no one has seen her.
She's in trouble, Inspector.
I'm certain of it.
(sighs): I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation.
She's never done anything like this before.
She always lets me know where she is going, or when she'll be back.
I'm telling you, she's in trouble, Inspector.
(crying): If anything happened to that girl... (softly): Oh, God.
(sobbing) When did you last see her?
(inhales, sniffles) Yesterday morning.
She was leaving the house for a meeting.
A meeting with who?
RUPERT: Now, I must say, Inspector, I have...
I have never seen you look so smart.
He looks, uh... What, what is the word?
Stattlich.
RUPERT: Stattlich.
What, what does that mean?
Dashing!
Handsome.
Stattlich.
Once again, forgive the intrusion, but I wish to talk...
Sorry, uh, where, where are my manners?
I do, I do not believe you have been introduced to Miss Hildegard, who is Herr Hildegard's radiant niece.
(chuckles): Pleased to meet you, madam.
Now, gentlemen, I wonder if I...
Inspector Wellington is a... What, what is the German word for "detective"?
It is the same.
Detectiv.
Really?
HILDEGARD: Mm-hmm.
(laughs): Isn't that funny?
(chuckles): Yeah.
You will take a drink, Inspector?
No, I cannot stay long.
I'm here on behalf of Miss Scarlet.
Or rather, her maid.
I am... Miss, Miss Scarlet and I... How, how do I say that I am the sole investor in Miss Scarlet's detective agency, providing both financial support and on occasion, uh, advice on the more complex cases, how...?
I... (chuckles) Uh...
I understand that you had a meeting with Miss Scarlet yesterday morning.
Uh, yeah.
Yes and no, we... We were supposed to meet, uh, but when I arrived, she was in a most... agitated state.
"Agitated"?
Uh, a ball of nervous energy would be the best way of describing it-- uh, Ball nervös?
Yes?
Uh, she had made some kind of discovery.
Uh, did not elaborate.
And whatever it was, it was, well, clearly pressing, as she requested to postpone our meeting till later in the week.
I saw her as she was leaving.
She seemed in a tremendous hurry, and was, indeed, most agitated.
I helped her to find a cab.
A cab to where?
Do not talk to me about that woman.
She has given me nothing but trouble.
What time did she come here?
I've told her until I'm blue in the face that she is not welcome, but still she persists.
Do you know who was here when she turned up?
The city coroner.
How do you think that makes me look?
Mr. Potts, time is against me, and I'm struggling to control my temper, so before I do something that we both regret, just tell me when you last saw Miss Scarlet.
(slams pot down) Yesterday morning, quarter past 11:00, give or take.
She came waltzing in here at 100 miles an hour firing out questions.
Well, I had to insist she leave, since, as I say, the city coroner was here.
What questions was she asking?
You do realize that she threatened me, Inspector?
Hmm.
Not gonna tell you what she said, but it's not something a Christian should say, let alone a woman.
What... questions?
(sighs) She wanted to know all about smallpox.
How long the virus lingers outside the body, what precautions can be taken to avoid transmission.
I said although there are entire essays to be written on the subject, it was not a conversation to be had on a street corner.
But she insisted she had to know right away.
(sighs): Why?
She said it was a matter of life and death.
Although who knows with that woman?
I wouldn't trust a single word that came out of her mouth.
♪ ♪ (sighs) (crunching underfoot) ♪ ♪ (exhales) You are conflicted as to what to do?
(laughs) Why did you always do that?
Do what?
Give me orders, but pose them like a question.
(soft laugh) Because I learned very quickly that you needed to come to your own conclusion.
The conclusion that you always wanted to hear.
Oh, great minds and all that.
(laughs softly) Your daughter is causing me a headache.
You have my sympathy, William.
She caused me many headaches.
You both did.
God, I miss you, Henry.
Not as much as I miss you, my dearest boy.

I, I'll tell you in a moment, just, um, look for my, my bag.
There are tools inside you can use to pick the lock.
ELIZA: Why are you dressed like that?
Would you like to talk about that now?
Or would you like me to get you out of there?
Uh, look for the, uh, tension wrench, you can use it...
Yes, I know how to pick a lock.
How did you find me?
You leave a trail of chaos wherever you go, Eliza.
It wasn't hard.
What are you doing here?
I found my father's old casebook.
This place was mentioned several times, including in his last entry.
(sighs): You remember he was missing for two days before he died?
Well, I assumed he was drinking or gambling, but now I believe he came here.
Yeah, I read some of his casebook in your office.
Long list of gambling debts and taverns that provide credit.
Look.
Woolwich Prison, the words "cell 99" underlined twice.
Hmm.
Cell 99.
I looked around and the cell numbers only go up to 98.
There must be another wing.
When you've freed me, we must go and look.
Eliza...
I cared for Henry, too, and I mourn him every day.
But he was erratic towards the end.
I hadn't seen him sober for months, and neither had you.
Well, I came in here to look around to see if there were any clues to cell 99 that I was missing.
One minute the door was open, the next it slammed shut.
I can't say for certain, but I think I heard footsteps.
You think?
Would it surprise you to learn that the walls of a prison cell are rather thick?
The place is deserted-- there's nothing here.
(grumbles, wrench clatters) Oh, I thought you knew how to pick a lock.
Would it surprise you to learn that prison doors are designed not to be picked?
Oh, here, here, give it to me.
Give it.
(sighs) (sighs): For God's sake!
There's all manner of filth and grime in this place.
Why are you dressed like that, anyway?
Well, I'm, uh, I'm due at the Brownlee Club in three minutes.
Thanks to you, I'll be late, and Stirling will have even less respect for me than he does already.
Oh.
I'm sorry.
Ah, it's probably for the best.
I hate being around Stirling and his cronies.
They're all ex-Army brigadiers and above, all from the same schools.
I try to hold my own with them over brandy and cigars, but, uh, well... You've got where you are on merit.
None of those men can say the same.
You've nothing to prove.
Stop being kind.
It's confusing.
Lord knows what he'd make of you.
Superintendent Frederick Aloysius Stirling.
Well, I'm sure I'll meet him soon enough.
(grunts): Won't I?
Yeah.
I mean... You have told him we've worked together?
Look, it's one thing him reading about you in the paper.
It's quite another thing... You still haven't told him.
(sighs): Look, I have a career to protect.
As do I.
Yes, for now, but it's likely that before long, you will find someone suitable, and nature will take its course.
"Nature will take its course"?
Yes, that is how things are.
I will be working for the rest of my life, whereas you... Nah.
What?
Get married, have children, and put all this nonsense behind me?
(laughs): How dare, how dare you, William?
What, how dare I put my plans on hold to follow you on a wild goose chase?
How dare I come and rescue you?

It all looks familiar-- place is a damn maze.
You never came here when it was open?
Do you know how many prisons there are in London?
Well, actually, yes.

This place was closed two years ago.
Because of a smallpox outbreak, yes, I know.
Don't worry, perfectly safe.
Smallpox... Can't linger that long outside the body.
Yes, I know.
But did you also know...
Yes, I know, whatever it is, yes, I know!
Now, can we just concentrate on trying to find a way out of here?
Yeah, of course.

The bullet missed any major arteries, so there's every chance he'll live.
Good, I must speak to him as soon as possible.

I have to find out why.
How much is here, do you think?
Tens of thousands of pounds?
I haven't seen a forgery on a scale like this before.
And to keep a man hostage for that length of time, these are serious people, Eliza.
Which is why we should waste no time in tracking them down.
Why are you staring at me in that way, William?
Look, I, I do not want to argue anymore, merely to state some deductions based on the balance of probabilities.
Oh, stop being so reasonable.
Make your point.
It's very likely that these men were responsible for your father's murder.
They took the trouble to make it look like a natural death and to bring his body back home.

No, that was someone else.

Why kill them?
Punishment.
For what?
For not killing us.
(inhales) I must apologize for my appearance, sir, and for missing the drinks.

So I hear.
Quite the haul, so I believe.
Yes, sir.
We estimate the forgeries to be in the region of 68,000 pounds.
Good God.
Mm.
And there's most likely far more.
The man we found at the scene, Nathaniel Caine, had been there for months.
Now, a, a criminal gang such as this will act quickly once they know we're onto them, so we'll need to work around the clock.

I believe that his death may be linked to this same criminal gang.
As such, I have ordered protection for his daughter Eliza.
That damn woman.
Running around London making a fool of herself.
(exhales) Does she really need our protection?
She does.
Very well.
That'll be all.
There is one more thing, sir.
Eliza Scarlet was the reason that we made this discovery in the first place.
She has, in fact, helped me on several occasions in the solving of other crimes.
(exhales) ♪ ♪ I'll find them.
I'll find them, then they'll hang.
HENRY: I hid that casebook for a reason.
I knew if something happened to me, you'd come looking for answers.
What would you have me do, let them get away with it?
Let William and his men do their jobs, Lizzie.
What if they... What if they miss something, some... vital clue, however small?
You've done enough.
But now you're being reckless.
You're risking your life.
You've shown how capable you are.
You don't need to die to prove the point.
I'm not proving anything to anyone.
Lizzie... Stop calling me that!
I'm a grown woman!
(knock on door) How was Stirling?
(exhales): Oh, you know, the usual.
(exhales) I don't think I'll be getting promoted anytime soon.
Any news on Caine?
He'll live.
Surgeon removed the bullet and, uh, some threads of clothing.
No sign of infection so far.
Don't think he'll be up for talking, though.
Oh, he'll talk, believe me.
We'll go to the hospital in the morning.
In the meantime... (grunts) We need to find his prison records.
(inhales) Was there anything else?
The doctors told me that Nathaniel was talking when they brought him round.
Delirious stuff, mostly, but he seemed quite clear on one thing.
He kept saying... "He's coming for me, he's coming for me."
Could it be that creature, the giant?
No, it's some Jamaican.
Goes by the name of Moses.
♪ ♪ (knock on door) You're late.
There's two armed police out the front.
I had to lie low.
Then I shimmy over a wall and come round the back.
Are you sure they didn't see you?
Get me everything you can on this man.
His name's Nathaniel Caine.
(man shouting in distance) ♪ ♪ (door opens) ♪ ♪ What do you want?
(panting) (muffled shouting) (grunting softly) (grunting stops) (click) ♪ ♪ WILLIAM: We have one lead to go on, the Jamaican-- find him.
Why the interest in Moses?
Don't you understand the danger that you're in?
I'm not staying the night at your house.
Think of my reputation.
Since when did you care about your reputation?
You've taken a shine to this woman.
WILLIAM: My concern is purely professional, sir.
