1 00:00:44,696 --> 00:00:47,215 Police station four. 2 00:00:47,216 --> 00:00:51,934 I'm sorry, madam, you will have to slow down, I can't understand you. 3 00:00:51,935 --> 00:00:54,136 Am I hearing you correctly? A what? 4 00:00:54,736 --> 00:00:56,196 Detective? 5 00:00:59,136 --> 00:01:00,756 Detective, you've got to... 6 00:01:01,836 --> 00:01:05,716 Police station four... Yes, madam, we are aware of the situation. 7 00:01:05,717 --> 00:01:07,735 What situation? 8 00:01:07,736 --> 00:01:10,114 George, Henry, what on earth has happened? 9 00:01:10,115 --> 00:01:13,054 We were walking down Sumat Street when we heard screams. 10 00:01:13,055 --> 00:01:15,254 Coming from the direction of the circus. 11 00:01:15,255 --> 00:01:19,274 People were running, screaming... A tiger got out of its cage, sir. 12 00:01:19,275 --> 00:01:21,654 A huge Bengal brute. Higgins tackled it. 13 00:01:21,655 --> 00:01:23,434 It was going after an old man. 14 00:01:23,435 --> 00:01:25,834 I hit it with my truncheon, it barely noticed. 15 00:01:25,835 --> 00:01:28,614 That's when a circus hand shot it. My goodness! 16 00:01:28,615 --> 00:01:31,274 Was anyone seriously hurt? The tiger's tamer, sir. 17 00:01:31,275 --> 00:01:33,154 A Miss Kitty Walker. She was killed. 18 00:01:33,155 --> 00:01:37,316 I ordered her remains to the morgue, and the tiger. Good thinking. 19 00:01:37,317 --> 00:01:38,795 Come with me. 20 00:01:38,796 --> 00:01:41,076 Let's pay a visit to this circus. 21 00:01:42,196 --> 00:01:44,036 I don't understand. 22 00:01:45,636 --> 00:01:48,815 Where are they? It was right here. 23 00:01:48,816 --> 00:01:50,176 Tents and all. 24 00:01:51,236 --> 00:01:54,014 They've obviously packed up and left in a hurry. 25 00:01:54,015 --> 00:01:57,656 But if it was just a terrible accident, why flee the scene? 26 00:01:57,657 --> 00:02:01,775 Why, indeed? Find them, George, and arrest them. 27 00:02:01,776 --> 00:02:03,236 All of them. 28 00:02:17,556 --> 00:02:19,056 Any messages? 29 00:02:38,216 --> 00:02:39,436 Murdoch! 30 00:02:40,496 --> 00:02:46,014 I had no choice, sir. None of them have fixed addresses and they've all demonstrated a tendency to flee. 31 00:02:46,015 --> 00:02:49,634 So you've arrested them all because a lion tamer got careless? 32 00:02:49,635 --> 00:02:51,314 I haven't charged anyone yet. 33 00:02:51,315 --> 00:02:54,714 But we need them in custody, so I can determine what happened. 34 00:02:54,715 --> 00:02:58,534 Can't they be kept in the cells? It hardly seems fair to incarcerate them. 35 00:02:58,535 --> 00:03:01,176 Most of them are upstairs in the lunch room. 36 00:03:01,177 --> 00:03:04,255 Just keep them away from me, Murdoch. 37 00:03:04,256 --> 00:03:06,574 Who's in charge of this rabble anyway? 38 00:03:06,575 --> 00:03:09,816 It was horrible. I went backstage to fetch Kitty, 39 00:03:09,817 --> 00:03:14,116 her act was up next, and that's how I found her. 40 00:03:21,836 --> 00:03:24,374 She used to sit with Saber before each show. 41 00:03:24,375 --> 00:03:26,356 It was a ritual the two of them had. 42 00:03:26,357 --> 00:03:28,435 She said it calmed him. 43 00:03:28,436 --> 00:03:31,096 But this time, the animal attacked her. 44 00:03:31,097 --> 00:03:32,835 I did what I could. 45 00:03:32,836 --> 00:03:36,116 I opened the cage door and tried to force Saber back with a broom. 46 00:03:36,117 --> 00:03:38,735 That's when the tiger escaped? 47 00:03:38,736 --> 00:03:40,516 You know the rest. 48 00:03:41,656 --> 00:03:46,956 What I know is that you tried to flee town while one of your performers lay dead. 49 00:03:46,957 --> 00:03:49,215 And I feel awful about that. 50 00:03:49,216 --> 00:03:53,676 But I've learned that locals can react rather unfairly when things go amiss. 51 00:03:53,677 --> 00:03:59,595 This type of occurrence happens often in Barnett's Royal Travelling Circus? 52 00:03:59,596 --> 00:04:01,695 Not at all! 53 00:04:01,696 --> 00:04:05,794 There was an unfortunate incident with a dancing bear, and we had 54 00:04:05,795 --> 00:04:10,254 some bad luck with a fire breather, but everyone got out in time. 55 00:04:10,255 --> 00:04:16,336 It's not as though these things are the end of the world. No. But it was for Miss Walker. 56 00:04:22,164 --> 00:04:25,384 It had begun to devour parts of her neck and abdomen as well. 57 00:04:25,385 --> 00:04:27,443 Perhaps she had mistreated it? 58 00:04:27,444 --> 00:04:32,282 Someone did. I checked the tiger's digestive tract and except for the stomach, which was... 59 00:04:32,283 --> 00:04:35,162 rather full of course, it was entirely empty. 60 00:04:35,163 --> 00:04:38,782 The tiger had been starved? For several days at least. 61 00:04:38,783 --> 00:04:42,104 Which makes me wonder whether this was a random animal attack. 62 00:04:42,105 --> 00:04:43,944 Or if it was engineered? 63 00:04:50,012 --> 00:04:52,811 George? 64 00:04:52,812 --> 00:04:54,951 Where is the tiger's cage? 65 00:04:54,952 --> 00:04:57,330 We brought it in to the police stables. 66 00:04:57,331 --> 00:05:02,072 Good thinking. Find out who was responsible for feeding the tiger and meet me there. 67 00:05:02,073 --> 00:05:03,891 Yes, sir. 68 00:05:03,892 --> 00:05:07,212 Who fed the tiger? 69 00:05:08,772 --> 00:05:10,410 Saber ate three times a day. 70 00:05:10,411 --> 00:05:11,990 Breakfast, lunch and dinner. 71 00:05:11,991 --> 00:05:13,732 And you kept to this schedule? 72 00:05:13,733 --> 00:05:16,071 Of course. It's my job. Why? 73 00:05:16,072 --> 00:05:19,571 Mr Selby, the tiger had been starved. 74 00:05:19,572 --> 00:05:21,811 For several days or more. 75 00:05:21,812 --> 00:05:24,692 That's impossible. He ate everything I gave him. 76 00:05:26,252 --> 00:05:28,612 Can you show me how the tiger was fed? 77 00:05:28,613 --> 00:05:31,152 I open this door at the bottom... 78 00:05:33,332 --> 00:05:36,151 and slide in a plate of meat - 79 00:05:36,152 --> 00:05:38,451 usually chicken, beef, bones - 80 00:05:38,452 --> 00:05:40,011 like so. 81 00:05:40,012 --> 00:05:42,130 Did you watch the tiger eat his food? 82 00:05:42,131 --> 00:05:46,430 Well, no, I had other animals to feed. But the plate was always empty when I came back. 83 00:05:46,431 --> 00:05:51,210 So someone could have taken the food away? I don't see how, Detective. 84 00:05:51,211 --> 00:05:57,090 If a hand came between Saber and his food, guaranteed that hand would be a goner. How remarkable, sir. 85 00:05:57,091 --> 00:06:00,710 A cat so large it needs a heavy-link chain as a leash. 86 00:06:00,711 --> 00:06:04,152 You don't want the tiger off its leash when you open that door. 87 00:06:04,153 --> 00:06:06,271 And yet Saber ran off. 88 00:06:06,272 --> 00:06:07,492 Sir, look. 89 00:06:08,512 --> 00:06:11,092 If the chain was cinched with this shackle... 90 00:06:14,252 --> 00:06:18,430 there'd be no way... For the tiger to reach its food. You're right, George. 91 00:06:18,431 --> 00:06:21,812 That choker's supposed to reach all the way to the end. 92 00:06:21,813 --> 00:06:26,531 So someone could have pulled the chain through the bars, like so, 93 00:06:26,532 --> 00:06:29,710 and installed this shackle every day before feeding time, 94 00:06:29,711 --> 00:06:34,790 then returned to remove the shackle before Miss Walker came to collect Saber for the performances. 95 00:06:34,791 --> 00:06:38,252 Even so, sir, how would the tiger have got free of the choker? 96 00:06:38,253 --> 00:06:40,491 Miss Walker must have done that. 97 00:06:40,492 --> 00:06:43,990 She would have been just as surprised to find it shortened as we are. 98 00:06:43,991 --> 00:06:45,612 Who had access to this cage? 99 00:06:45,613 --> 00:06:48,652 Anyone who wanted it, I suppose. 100 00:06:52,412 --> 00:06:54,451 Gentlemen, down the hatch. 101 00:06:54,452 --> 00:06:56,332 He's not going to swallow that! 102 00:06:58,392 --> 00:07:00,131 Starved! 103 00:07:00,132 --> 00:07:03,670 Yes, the cinching of the chain made it impossible for the animal to eat. 104 00:07:03,671 --> 00:07:08,050 So maybe someone didn't like the tiger, it's not necessarily a deliberate act of murder. 105 00:07:08,051 --> 00:07:09,652 But we can't ignore that possibility. 106 00:07:09,653 --> 00:07:12,691 Bloody hell, Murdoch. Here it comes! 107 00:07:12,692 --> 00:07:14,372 Excuse me. 108 00:07:16,392 --> 00:07:19,990 Enough! This is a police station, not a bloody circus. 109 00:07:19,991 --> 00:07:26,392 Mitchell, who's minding the desk while you're stood there catching flies? Back to work, the lot of you! 110 00:07:26,393 --> 00:07:29,771 You've got 24 hours. That may not be enough. 111 00:07:29,772 --> 00:07:34,912 Habeas Corpus. I don't want these people around longer than what's permitted by law. Yes, sir. 112 00:07:34,913 --> 00:07:36,532 George... 113 00:07:37,812 --> 00:07:42,230 I'd like you and Higgins to interview... Someone get this bloody monkey out of my office! 114 00:07:42,231 --> 00:07:47,052 Interview all of these circus folk. See if you can get a sense of who may have had issues with Miss Walker. 115 00:07:51,212 --> 00:07:54,550 What do you mean... Kitty may have been murdered? 116 00:07:54,551 --> 00:07:56,430 Let's not play games, Mr Barnett. 117 00:07:56,431 --> 00:08:00,670 There was a reason you packed up the circus and left town. But I already told you... 118 00:08:00,671 --> 00:08:02,690 How was your relationship with Miss Walker? 119 00:08:02,691 --> 00:08:06,232 Very friendly. She was a lovely girl. Always smiling. 120 00:08:06,233 --> 00:08:08,791 Yet you left her body behind. 121 00:08:08,792 --> 00:08:10,832 I had no choice. 122 00:08:12,012 --> 00:08:14,112 Didn't you think to make arrangements? 123 00:08:14,113 --> 00:08:16,471 Contact her family? 124 00:08:16,472 --> 00:08:18,690 It takes a very cold man to do that. 125 00:08:18,691 --> 00:08:21,750 So cold, it makes me suspect you had something to do with her death. 126 00:08:21,751 --> 00:08:23,710 Now, wait just a minute here! 127 00:08:23,711 --> 00:08:26,432 If you think I'd harm her, you've got this all wrong. 128 00:08:26,433 --> 00:08:29,991 For a normal, Kitty was a star attraction. 129 00:08:29,992 --> 00:08:31,671 For a normal? 130 00:08:31,672 --> 00:08:34,731 Like you and me. As opposed to a freak. 131 00:08:34,732 --> 00:08:37,892 Freaks bring in more money, usually. 132 00:08:38,932 --> 00:08:40,852 Who, then, may have wanted her dead? 133 00:08:42,752 --> 00:08:48,172 Mr Barnett, none of you are leaving here until I get some answers. 134 00:08:49,872 --> 00:08:54,252 Ask Ivy. She was Kitty's best friend. If anyone knows anything, it would be her. 135 00:08:59,065 --> 00:09:01,745 You are staring, Detective. 136 00:09:05,945 --> 00:09:07,744 Miss... Ivy. 137 00:09:07,745 --> 00:09:09,824 Just Ivy. 138 00:09:09,825 --> 00:09:12,544 Very well, Miss Ivy... 139 00:09:12,545 --> 00:09:14,225 You can stare, if you want. 140 00:09:14,226 --> 00:09:17,324 I don't mind. It's how I make my living. 141 00:09:17,325 --> 00:09:21,404 It grows all over my body. Had it since I was born. 142 00:09:21,405 --> 00:09:24,044 Payment for my mama's sins. 143 00:09:24,045 --> 00:09:30,884 How do you mean? Let's just say she ate supper before she said grace. 144 00:09:30,885 --> 00:09:33,784 You were conceived out of wedlock? 145 00:09:33,785 --> 00:09:36,783 In a patch of poison ivy in Ivy Point, Georgia. 146 00:09:36,784 --> 00:09:39,705 Mama says the poison must have seeped into her womb. 147 00:09:39,706 --> 00:09:45,624 I see, Miss Ivy. I'm less interested in your skin condition 148 00:09:45,625 --> 00:09:47,883 than I am with your friendship with Miss Walker. 149 00:09:47,884 --> 00:09:50,185 I'm told the two of you were close friends. 150 00:09:50,186 --> 00:09:52,524 It's a circus, Detective Murdoch. 151 00:09:52,525 --> 00:09:54,885 The friendships are fleeting and eternal. 152 00:09:54,886 --> 00:09:58,084 But yes, I was closest with Kitty. 153 00:09:58,085 --> 00:10:02,443 Perhaps you can tell me why someone would want to kill her. Kill her? 154 00:10:02,444 --> 00:10:05,783 Nobody wanted to kill Kitty. Saber just went wild. 155 00:10:05,784 --> 00:10:08,125 We have reason to believe otherwise. 156 00:10:12,545 --> 00:10:14,544 Miss Ivy? 157 00:10:14,545 --> 00:10:19,265 I'm not saying he did it, but she had frequent words with her fiance. 158 00:10:19,266 --> 00:10:21,024 I was concerned for her. 159 00:10:21,025 --> 00:10:25,504 And his name? Count Leoline. 160 00:10:25,505 --> 00:10:27,224 Of course we fought. 161 00:10:27,225 --> 00:10:29,624 We fought like we loved, Detective. 162 00:10:29,625 --> 00:10:31,984 With passion. With intensity. 163 00:10:31,985 --> 00:10:33,024 With ardour. 164 00:10:33,025 --> 00:10:35,984 Your ardour is your business. 165 00:10:35,985 --> 00:10:38,445 What concerns me, Mr Leoline, is your anger. 166 00:10:38,446 --> 00:10:41,664 Please address me by my title. 167 00:10:41,665 --> 00:10:44,544 I am a Count. 168 00:10:44,545 --> 00:10:46,924 Well, Count, 169 00:10:46,925 --> 00:10:52,005 your tempestuous relationship leads me to suspect you plotted to kill your fiance. 170 00:10:52,006 --> 00:10:53,844 On my word, sir, 171 00:10:53,845 --> 00:10:58,124 I may look like a beast, but I am a gentleman. 172 00:10:58,125 --> 00:11:00,803 I've lost my love to a terrible tragedy. 173 00:11:00,804 --> 00:11:02,783 Can you not see that I am grieving? 174 00:11:02,784 --> 00:11:07,683 That doesn't change the fact that someone starved that tiger with the intention of killing Miss Walker. 175 00:11:07,684 --> 00:11:10,205 I don't believe it. Everyone loved Kitty. 176 00:11:10,206 --> 00:11:12,844 My God, 177 00:11:12,845 --> 00:11:15,985 if she was murdered, it was an attack on me. 178 00:11:17,045 --> 00:11:23,204 You? People are jealous of me. Of my noble birth. My superior bearing. 179 00:11:23,205 --> 00:11:26,685 Especially Jake the Magician. 180 00:11:28,385 --> 00:11:31,824 Why is that? Before I won her heart, 181 00:11:31,825 --> 00:11:34,164 Jake and Kitty were lovers. 182 00:11:34,165 --> 00:11:36,565 We fought over her affections, literally. 183 00:11:38,145 --> 00:11:40,225 I defeated him easily, of course. 184 00:11:40,226 --> 00:11:42,605 He always hated me for that. 185 00:11:46,385 --> 00:11:51,403 Higgins and I once competed in a three-legged race, so I think we have a good idea... 186 00:11:51,404 --> 00:11:53,985 Sir, we've almost finished our interviews. 187 00:11:53,986 --> 00:11:55,665 Yes, I can see that. 188 00:11:58,325 --> 00:12:01,285 Any hint of a motive for killing Miss Walker? 189 00:12:01,286 --> 00:12:03,084 No, sir. Not really. 190 00:12:03,085 --> 00:12:07,083 Any luck with you? Each seems to be pointing the finger at the other. 191 00:12:07,084 --> 00:12:10,263 Speaking of which, I'll need to talk to Jake the Magician. 192 00:12:10,264 --> 00:12:12,965 He's in the booking area with Sergeant Burke. 193 00:12:14,585 --> 00:12:17,043 Smile upon these... Seems to be quite the life, doesn't it, sir? 194 00:12:17,044 --> 00:12:21,105 Behold your card! Did you ever dream about joining the circus as a boy? 195 00:12:21,106 --> 00:12:23,324 No, I didn't, George. I did. 196 00:12:23,325 --> 00:12:27,245 It's because I'm an adventure-seeker, which is why I became a cop, apparently. 197 00:12:27,246 --> 00:12:31,704 At least, that's what Lady Minerva said. Lady Minerva? 198 00:12:31,705 --> 00:12:33,425 She's the Gypsy fortune-teller. 199 00:12:33,426 --> 00:12:37,184 I highly doubt she's a true fortune-teller, George. 200 00:12:37,185 --> 00:12:40,563 She knew I was a foundling. She wasn't guessing. It was on the cards. 201 00:12:40,564 --> 00:12:44,023 Did she have anything relevant to say about the case? 202 00:12:44,024 --> 00:12:46,405 She believes the tiger was innocent. 203 00:12:48,005 --> 00:12:50,624 All animals are innocent, George. 204 00:12:50,625 --> 00:12:52,225 Humans excepted... 205 00:12:54,685 --> 00:12:57,304 Hello? 206 00:12:57,305 --> 00:12:59,463 It was the last thing I expected. But as I was examining 207 00:12:59,464 --> 00:13:03,723 the bite wound on Miss Walker's neck, I found remnants of an incision. 208 00:13:03,724 --> 00:13:07,485 An incision? On a very shallow angle right through to the spine. 209 00:13:07,486 --> 00:13:08,945 Have a look. 210 00:13:10,965 --> 00:13:15,404 A small section of the fourth vertebra has been chipped off. 211 00:13:15,405 --> 00:13:19,064 Perhaps by the tiger's claws, or teeth? 212 00:13:19,065 --> 00:13:22,305 No. The cut was linear and thin. I'm certain it was made by a knife. 213 00:13:22,306 --> 00:13:24,504 You were right, William. 214 00:13:24,505 --> 00:13:26,284 Kitty Walker was murdered. 215 00:13:26,285 --> 00:13:31,665 And by someone who was well aware that in the moments following, Miss Walker would be... devoured. 216 00:13:35,545 --> 00:13:37,803 She was stabbed? In the throat? Yes, sir. 217 00:13:37,804 --> 00:13:42,203 The tiger's bites on Kitty Walker's neck would have erased any sign of the original wound. 218 00:13:42,204 --> 00:13:43,843 That's why the tiger attacked. 219 00:13:43,844 --> 00:13:48,443 Miss Walker was dead and bleeding and the tiger was starving. Yes, sir. In you get, George. 220 00:13:48,444 --> 00:13:52,823 It's a clever way to kill someone. To have the knife wound obscured by the tiger bite. 221 00:13:52,824 --> 00:13:57,163 Yes, and if not for Dr Ogden's persistence, it would have been the perfect crime. 222 00:13:57,164 --> 00:14:01,525 Miss Walker would have likely been sitting down here with the tiger, George. 223 00:14:03,645 --> 00:14:08,443 Given the location of the wound, the killer struck from behind. Like this. 224 00:14:08,444 --> 00:14:10,303 This changes everything, Murdoch. 225 00:14:10,304 --> 00:14:12,203 You have a place and a time now. 226 00:14:12,204 --> 00:14:17,743 Yes, which means the killer must have been backstage shortly before Mr Barnett happened upon the scene. 227 00:14:17,744 --> 00:14:20,843 I want to know where they all were when she was killed. Yes, sir. 228 00:14:20,844 --> 00:14:23,803 George, please get started on that. Yes, sir. And you, Murdoch? 229 00:14:23,804 --> 00:14:29,005 I'm going to find out how a Gypsy fortune-teller came to know the tiger didn't kill Miss Walker. 230 00:14:31,485 --> 00:14:33,465 I only know what the cards tell me. 231 00:14:34,485 --> 00:14:37,043 Begging your pardon, but cards don't speak. 232 00:14:37,044 --> 00:14:39,105 They're made in a printing shop. 233 00:14:39,106 --> 00:14:41,524 Do you believe in God, Detective? 234 00:14:41,525 --> 00:14:45,405 Of course. God spoke to Moses through a burning bush, did he not? 235 00:14:45,406 --> 00:14:46,924 What of it? 236 00:14:46,925 --> 00:14:52,944 If God spoke to Moses through a burning bush, why shouldn't He speak through cards? 237 00:14:52,945 --> 00:14:56,485 Are you so arrogant as to assume you know the ways of God? 238 00:14:56,486 --> 00:15:00,684 No. I just don't think God speaks through you. 239 00:15:00,685 --> 00:15:03,605 But I believe that you know something about what happened. 240 00:15:06,925 --> 00:15:08,545 You have a great deal of knowledge. 241 00:15:08,546 --> 00:15:11,344 This is a source of pride to you. 242 00:15:11,345 --> 00:15:14,885 You take comfort in logic... 243 00:15:17,585 --> 00:15:20,023 except when it conflicts with your religious beliefs. 244 00:15:20,024 --> 00:15:22,045 I'm familiar with this parlour game. 245 00:15:22,046 --> 00:15:25,784 Speak in flattering generalities, avoid specifics. 246 00:15:25,785 --> 00:15:28,024 You love a woman. 247 00:15:28,025 --> 00:15:31,485 She's your match in every way. 248 00:15:33,245 --> 00:15:34,884 And... dear... 249 00:15:34,885 --> 00:15:37,165 she doesn't appear to be in your future. 250 00:15:37,166 --> 00:15:41,144 I'm not here to have my fortune told, Lady Minerva. 251 00:15:41,145 --> 00:15:43,325 I want to know what happened today. 252 00:15:43,326 --> 00:15:45,844 I only know what the cards tells me. 253 00:15:45,845 --> 00:15:48,505 Then perhaps the cards can answer a question? 254 00:15:48,506 --> 00:15:50,284 Of course. 255 00:15:50,285 --> 00:15:53,045 Who was responsible for Kitty Walker's death? 256 00:15:58,685 --> 00:16:00,325 Turn it over. 257 00:16:08,185 --> 00:16:10,044 Kitty Walker was murdered. 258 00:16:10,045 --> 00:16:11,705 So I hear. 259 00:16:13,405 --> 00:16:15,065 Doesn't that bother you, Jake? 260 00:16:15,066 --> 00:16:17,284 Weren't you and Kitty lovers? 261 00:16:17,285 --> 00:16:19,264 Used to be. What of it? 262 00:16:19,265 --> 00:16:20,944 You were jilted. 263 00:16:20,945 --> 00:16:24,145 Defeated in a physical contest for her affections, were you not? 264 00:16:24,146 --> 00:16:26,104 Did Leo tell you that? 265 00:16:26,105 --> 00:16:31,204 I was drunk, and it wasn't a contest over her affections. 266 00:16:31,205 --> 00:16:33,644 I told him he treated Kitty badly. 267 00:16:33,645 --> 00:16:37,505 So you weren't the least bit angry that she chose Count Leoline over you? 268 00:16:37,506 --> 00:16:39,704 I was wounded, I don't deny it. 269 00:16:39,705 --> 00:16:41,985 Discarded in favour of that freak of nature. 270 00:16:44,005 --> 00:16:46,104 But that was six months ago. 271 00:16:46,105 --> 00:16:48,004 I learned to accept it. 272 00:16:48,005 --> 00:16:50,243 Where were you when Kitty was killed? 273 00:16:50,244 --> 00:16:52,605 I was with Ivy. What were you doing? 274 00:16:53,665 --> 00:16:56,825 Let's just say we were intertwined. 275 00:16:58,565 --> 00:17:04,044 Gentlemen. Sir, Mr Barnett was explaining the layout of the circus. 276 00:17:04,045 --> 00:17:07,204 We have a central ring here in the big tent. 277 00:17:07,205 --> 00:17:11,963 All acts in waiting must be in the backstage tent a quarter hour before their performance. 278 00:17:11,964 --> 00:17:14,203 Who was backstage with Miss Walker? 279 00:17:14,204 --> 00:17:18,743 No-one. She was the final performer of the night. Who was the last person to see her alive? 280 00:17:18,744 --> 00:17:21,603 We believe that was Bob Selby, the animal feeder. 281 00:17:21,604 --> 00:17:25,623 I heard Leo arguing with Kitty and I had Selby poke his head in to see if she was all right. 282 00:17:25,624 --> 00:17:26,845 But Leo had already left. 283 00:17:26,846 --> 00:17:28,784 And she was still alive? 284 00:17:28,785 --> 00:17:31,185 She was just climbing into Saber's cage. 285 00:17:31,186 --> 00:17:34,784 How long after that did you discover her dead? 286 00:17:34,785 --> 00:17:37,584 Maybe five minutes. 287 00:17:37,585 --> 00:17:39,703 Where were you during this period? 288 00:17:39,704 --> 00:17:42,525 I've told your constables twice, I was sidestage the whole time. 289 00:17:42,526 --> 00:17:44,564 Very well. 290 00:17:44,565 --> 00:17:46,385 Thank you. That will be all, Mr Barnett. 291 00:17:49,025 --> 00:17:53,085 George, were you able to determine everyone's whereabouts during this time? 292 00:17:53,086 --> 00:17:55,964 Not quite, sir. 293 00:17:55,965 --> 00:17:58,763 What of Count Leoline? Interesting you should ask, sir. 294 00:17:58,764 --> 00:18:03,163 He claims that he was with Miss Ivy, but she confirms she was with Jake the Magician. 295 00:18:03,164 --> 00:18:08,965 George, I'd like you and Higgins to dig up everything you can on this alleged Count. Sir. 296 00:18:10,605 --> 00:18:14,205 I never said I was with her, I said she was my alibi. 297 00:18:14,206 --> 00:18:16,785 And the distinction would be? 298 00:18:19,825 --> 00:18:23,365 Kitty and I had just had a terrible fight. I'd gone for a walk. 299 00:18:23,366 --> 00:18:29,464 As I passed by Ivy's caravan, she was standing on the steps smoking a cigarette. 300 00:18:29,465 --> 00:18:31,244 We shared a look. 301 00:18:31,245 --> 00:18:33,825 She watched me as I went down the path to the river. 302 00:18:33,826 --> 00:18:36,764 How do you know Ivy watched you? 303 00:18:36,765 --> 00:18:40,404 I could feel her eyes on me. 304 00:18:40,405 --> 00:18:44,825 It's true, I do enjoy an occasional cigarette, but everyone knows that. 305 00:18:44,826 --> 00:18:48,204 Leo, however, did not pass by, as he claims. 306 00:18:48,205 --> 00:18:52,463 You're certain? I could hear them arguing. It was hard to ignore. 307 00:18:52,464 --> 00:18:55,443 By the time they stopped, I'd gone back inside. 308 00:18:55,444 --> 00:18:58,205 For a romantic interlude with Jake the Magician? 309 00:18:58,206 --> 00:19:00,645 Did Jake tell you that? 310 00:19:03,165 --> 00:19:05,244 The man has no discretion. 311 00:19:05,245 --> 00:19:07,345 Yes, I was with Jake. 312 00:19:09,165 --> 00:19:12,343 You were Miss Walker's friend. Was there something in particular 313 00:19:12,344 --> 00:19:14,685 that she and Count Leoline were fighting about? 314 00:19:14,686 --> 00:19:16,864 Lately? It was her money. 315 00:19:16,865 --> 00:19:18,564 Her money? 316 00:19:18,565 --> 00:19:21,724 Her wealthy uncle died a few months back. 317 00:19:21,725 --> 00:19:26,465 There was a sizable inheritance coming to Kitty as soon as the lawyers finalised the papers. 318 00:19:26,466 --> 00:19:28,484 Leo had grand plans for it. 319 00:19:28,485 --> 00:19:30,044 I see. 320 00:19:30,045 --> 00:19:31,805 Leo never came by that day. 321 00:19:31,806 --> 00:19:33,344 He's lyin'. 322 00:19:33,345 --> 00:19:36,484 She's lying! Why would she lie? I don't know. 323 00:19:36,485 --> 00:19:38,244 Perhaps she's jealous. 324 00:19:38,245 --> 00:19:40,404 Is everyone jealous of you? 325 00:19:40,405 --> 00:19:43,545 She once tried to seduce me. Really? When was that? 326 00:19:43,546 --> 00:19:45,444 Six months ago. 327 00:19:45,445 --> 00:19:47,904 I made it clear I wasn't interested. 328 00:19:47,905 --> 00:19:49,944 Maybe SHE killed Kitty. 329 00:19:49,945 --> 00:19:53,904 You're saying that Ivy was so wounded by your rejection 330 00:19:53,905 --> 00:19:57,803 that she befriended your fiancee for the next six months, 331 00:19:57,804 --> 00:20:01,643 all in an attempt to kill her and frame you for the murder? 332 00:20:01,644 --> 00:20:04,003 You may find this hard to believe, Detective, 333 00:20:04,004 --> 00:20:05,985 but women find me irresistible. 334 00:20:05,986 --> 00:20:09,504 My savage exterior, I suppose. 335 00:20:09,505 --> 00:20:14,245 At my last circus, a woman even tried to kill herself because I refused her. 336 00:20:17,025 --> 00:20:18,325 See? She just waved at you. 337 00:20:18,326 --> 00:20:21,304 Higgins, they're conjoined twins, man. 338 00:20:21,305 --> 00:20:23,704 So? I think Daisy's sweet on me. 339 00:20:23,705 --> 00:20:26,204 And I'm left-handed. 340 00:20:26,205 --> 00:20:29,344 I don't see a future in it, Higgins... Sir! 341 00:20:29,345 --> 00:20:31,624 What have you learned, George? 342 00:20:31,625 --> 00:20:37,783 Sir, Count Leoline is indeed a Count, but these days, that doesn't count for much, it would seem. 343 00:20:37,784 --> 00:20:40,763 His family lost their holdings in the Franco-Prussian war. 344 00:20:40,764 --> 00:20:44,483 As a result, they're left with title, but no wealth worth speaking of. 345 00:20:44,484 --> 00:20:49,445 Mr Barnett tells me Leo's mother placed him in the circus to make ends meet. 346 00:20:51,493 --> 00:20:52,752 I hope you hang! 347 00:20:52,753 --> 00:20:54,392 You are a shameful man! 348 00:20:54,393 --> 00:20:56,772 How dare you touch me, woman! 349 00:20:56,773 --> 00:21:01,371 So if he had no money and Miss Kitty had the money, then why kill her before they're married? 350 00:21:01,372 --> 00:21:05,911 He didn't. Count Leoline and Kitty Walker were married two weeks ago in Niagara Falls. 351 00:21:05,912 --> 00:21:07,453 I found that in his caravan. 352 00:21:11,073 --> 00:21:12,992 Yes, we were married. 353 00:21:12,993 --> 00:21:16,552 What of it? Why keep it a secret? 354 00:21:16,553 --> 00:21:19,312 It was what Kitty wanted. 355 00:21:19,313 --> 00:21:25,072 She had told her family about me, but they didn't know who, or... what I was. 356 00:21:25,073 --> 00:21:28,111 So the fact that Kitty was set to inherit... The money? 357 00:21:28,112 --> 00:21:32,751 You think I killed her for the money? I'd accept any alternate reason. 358 00:21:32,752 --> 00:21:35,991 That money was for us. We were going to start our own circus. 359 00:21:35,992 --> 00:21:37,733 Take the best of Barnett's with us. 360 00:21:37,734 --> 00:21:39,632 Normals and freaks alike. 361 00:21:39,633 --> 00:21:42,332 Did she share your vision? 362 00:21:42,333 --> 00:21:45,072 Or is that why you fought? 363 00:21:45,073 --> 00:21:47,511 Is that why you plotted to kill her? 364 00:21:47,512 --> 00:21:51,473 I've endured enough from you! To stand accused like this is simply unbearable. 365 00:21:51,474 --> 00:21:54,133 I would have given my life for hers! 366 00:21:56,613 --> 00:21:59,513 Well, Count, you may yet get that chance. 367 00:22:13,413 --> 00:22:18,411 Sir, I hate to bother you, but Lady Minerva is making some startling predictions. 368 00:22:18,412 --> 00:22:22,851 I'm not interested in the prognostications of some Gypsy fortune-teller. 369 00:22:22,852 --> 00:22:25,973 Sir, I think you'll want to hear these prognostications. 370 00:22:27,793 --> 00:22:29,533 I've never seen anything like it. 371 00:22:29,534 --> 00:22:31,932 Such ominous cards. 372 00:22:31,933 --> 00:22:34,013 Yes, I'm sure they're extremely ominous. 373 00:22:34,014 --> 00:22:36,672 The Devil Card... destroyer of peace. 374 00:22:36,673 --> 00:22:40,912 The Judgement Card... disappointment, fear, failure. 375 00:22:40,913 --> 00:22:45,872 The Death Card... unexpected destruction and change. 376 00:22:45,873 --> 00:22:48,531 Is there something specific you want to tell me? 377 00:22:48,532 --> 00:22:50,453 Someone is going to die tonight. 378 00:22:50,454 --> 00:22:52,613 Someone at this station. 379 00:22:58,655 --> 00:23:03,973 You don't believe her, do you? I don't believe in tarot cards, but I do think this woman knows something. 380 00:23:03,974 --> 00:23:07,893 In this instance, she may be aware of a plot, but doesn't want to be implicated. 381 00:23:07,894 --> 00:23:09,515 And this is her way of warning us? 382 00:23:11,895 --> 00:23:15,413 Right. Crabtree. Sir. I want all these people checked for weapons. 383 00:23:15,414 --> 00:23:17,253 Keep them in the cells overnight. 384 00:23:17,254 --> 00:23:19,915 Keep them under surveillance until we figure this out. 385 00:23:19,916 --> 00:23:23,274 George, sequester Leoline in his own cell. 386 00:23:23,275 --> 00:23:26,514 Sir. So, Count Hairy Gob's your suspect, then? 387 00:23:26,515 --> 00:23:32,195 He had motive and gave a false alibi. Good. I'll be glad to see the back of this lot. "Royal" circus. 388 00:23:33,315 --> 00:23:35,614 Sir... 389 00:23:35,615 --> 00:23:37,894 you have a monkey on your desk. 390 00:23:37,895 --> 00:23:39,213 She's called Athena. 391 00:23:39,214 --> 00:23:42,815 She's a cheeky monkey, but she seems to have taken a shine to me. 392 00:23:42,816 --> 00:23:43,316 Athena! 393 00:24:27,795 --> 00:24:31,034 Leoline! 394 00:24:31,035 --> 00:24:35,215 Sir, we've left the scene exactly as we found it. 395 00:24:38,855 --> 00:24:41,195 It appears he was stabbed, William. 396 00:24:41,196 --> 00:24:45,775 But he was isolated in a locked cell all night. It's impossible. 397 00:24:47,355 --> 00:24:51,075 Nevertheless, approximately two hours ago, the impossible happened. 398 00:24:55,915 --> 00:24:58,173 The guard didn't fall asleep? Not even once? 399 00:24:58,174 --> 00:25:03,933 He swears on his job he didn't. Even if he took a privy break, I don't understand it. The cell was locked. 400 00:25:03,934 --> 00:25:08,533 How could this happen? I don't know, sir. I'll have the results of Dr Ogden's post-mortem soon, 401 00:25:08,534 --> 00:25:11,095 but I'm fairly certain he died of the knife wound. 402 00:25:11,096 --> 00:25:14,954 Where did the killer get the knife? Where is it now? 403 00:25:14,955 --> 00:25:19,293 We're searching the cells and all the circus members. I've relocated them to the stables. 404 00:25:19,294 --> 00:25:24,713 Under guard, of course. I want the search done properly. Bring a matron in for the women. Right. 405 00:25:24,714 --> 00:25:28,695 Nobody commits in murder in my jail cells and gets away with it. 406 00:25:28,696 --> 00:25:30,334 Understand? 407 00:25:30,335 --> 00:25:33,173 Count Leoline was definitely stabbed with a knife. 408 00:25:33,174 --> 00:25:35,593 Once. Through the larynx and carotid artery. 409 00:25:35,594 --> 00:25:38,093 Death was instant? Within seconds, I should think. 410 00:25:38,094 --> 00:25:41,653 With the larynx pierced, he wouldn't have been able to cry out. 411 00:25:41,654 --> 00:25:45,115 That explains why the constable on duty never heard a thing. 412 00:25:45,116 --> 00:25:50,454 A fascinating condition, isn't it? Hypertrichosis, I believe. 413 00:25:50,455 --> 00:25:52,654 Yes, that's right. Imagine 414 00:25:52,655 --> 00:25:56,253 having your life defined by a random genetic mutation. 415 00:25:56,254 --> 00:26:01,215 It certainly didn't impede his ability to attract a beautiful woman like Kitty Walker. 416 00:26:01,216 --> 00:26:03,214 I can understand that. 417 00:26:03,215 --> 00:26:07,595 He's very handsome. In spite of, or perhaps because of his condition. 418 00:26:09,235 --> 00:26:12,355 Yes, well... Is there anything else you can tell me? 419 00:26:12,356 --> 00:26:13,994 Just one more thing. 420 00:26:13,995 --> 00:26:15,953 The knife went in at an unusual angle. 421 00:26:15,954 --> 00:26:18,515 Very shallow, almost parallel to the ground. 422 00:26:22,115 --> 00:26:25,094 Sir, we've checked every mattress. 423 00:26:25,095 --> 00:26:27,215 Every nook and cranny. The drains? 424 00:26:27,216 --> 00:26:30,934 Checked with a mirror. There's no knife to be found. 425 00:26:30,935 --> 00:26:34,573 Then it must be hidden on one of the prisoners. How did it happen, George? 426 00:26:34,574 --> 00:26:38,255 How did a man locked alone in a cell get stabbed to death? 427 00:26:40,435 --> 00:26:43,475 Suppose the killer was in one of the adjoining cells. 428 00:26:47,575 --> 00:26:49,674 It's much too far to reach. 429 00:26:49,675 --> 00:26:54,575 I suppose if Count Leoline was unsuspecting of his attacker, he could have been lured to the bars. 430 00:26:54,576 --> 00:26:58,894 In that scenario, the knife angle could have been correct. 431 00:26:58,895 --> 00:27:01,393 So, that's it then. I don't think so, George. 432 00:27:01,394 --> 00:27:04,173 You've just been stabbed in the carotid artery. 433 00:27:04,174 --> 00:27:05,815 You have seconds to live. What do you do? 434 00:27:07,375 --> 00:27:09,694 Bleed. Panic. 435 00:27:09,695 --> 00:27:13,093 Flail around a bit, I suppose There's no blood on the bars, George. 436 00:27:13,094 --> 00:27:16,995 And are you going to take the time to return to your bunk and tuck yourself in? 437 00:27:16,996 --> 00:27:18,894 No, I suppose not. 438 00:27:18,895 --> 00:27:22,355 No. He was definitely lying here when he was killed. 439 00:27:22,356 --> 00:27:25,574 So, someone must have broken in. How? 440 00:27:25,575 --> 00:27:29,815 It would have taken far too long. And the constable on duty never left his post. 441 00:27:37,975 --> 00:27:40,274 What are you thinking, sir? 442 00:27:40,275 --> 00:27:43,595 George, I'm going to need a length of string. 443 00:27:45,295 --> 00:27:47,653 You're sure somebody threw the knife? That's right, George. 444 00:27:47,654 --> 00:27:48,995 Lower the string a bit. 445 00:27:50,255 --> 00:27:53,855 But, sir, that means he would have had to aim the knife through all these cell bars. 446 00:27:53,856 --> 00:27:55,874 Yes, even lower still. 447 00:27:55,875 --> 00:28:00,033 Sir, the accuracy required to make that throw is... That's perfect. Hold the string there. 448 00:28:00,034 --> 00:28:05,973 So, someone could have thrown the knife from within that cell, or perhaps the one where you are. 449 00:28:05,974 --> 00:28:08,133 It would explain the angle of entry. Yes. 450 00:28:08,134 --> 00:28:12,593 But it would be a one-chance throw. And who among our guests has the skill to pull that off? 451 00:28:12,594 --> 00:28:14,115 And how would they retrieve the knife? 452 00:28:18,175 --> 00:28:23,435 Sir, in the first cell, we had Jake the Magician, Bob Selby, the Giant, the Juggler and a contortionist. 453 00:28:23,436 --> 00:28:26,754 In the second cell, Count Leoline, sequestered. 454 00:28:26,755 --> 00:28:31,993 In the third cell, the clown, the cowboy, Pierre Barnett and another circus hand. 455 00:28:31,994 --> 00:28:34,515 In the corner cell, we had Miss Ivy, Lady Minerva, the twins, 456 00:28:34,516 --> 00:28:38,135 the Romanovs, the midget and the Indian girl. 457 00:28:39,915 --> 00:28:42,294 We've searched every prisoner. 458 00:28:42,295 --> 00:28:44,575 No knife. Right. 459 00:28:46,615 --> 00:28:50,275 Gentlemen, find out if anyone had a grudge against Count Leoline. 460 00:28:50,276 --> 00:28:53,134 Yes, sir. Sir. 461 00:28:53,135 --> 00:28:55,075 You are aware that no knife was found? 462 00:28:55,076 --> 00:28:56,834 And yet a knife was used. 463 00:28:56,835 --> 00:28:59,913 Then where is it? And how, if a person threw the knife, 464 00:28:59,914 --> 00:29:01,613 could they retrieve it from a locked cell? 465 00:29:01,614 --> 00:29:04,373 I believe a string was tied to the knife. Bloody hell! String. 466 00:29:04,374 --> 00:29:06,215 Did we even find any string? 467 00:29:06,216 --> 00:29:07,974 No. 468 00:29:07,975 --> 00:29:09,834 So what's next? 469 00:29:09,835 --> 00:29:13,813 Well, in the absence of a murder weapon, we'll have to rely strongly on motive. 470 00:29:13,814 --> 00:29:17,873 So the person who killed Kitty could also have murdered Count Leo? 471 00:29:17,874 --> 00:29:21,713 Possibly. But if Count Leoline was the chief suspect in Kitty's murder, 472 00:29:21,714 --> 00:29:25,575 perhaps his murder was the result of revenge on Miss Walker's behalf. 473 00:29:25,576 --> 00:29:27,214 Who wanted revenge? 474 00:29:27,215 --> 00:29:30,495 I have a theory on that. I was hoping you would. 475 00:29:32,895 --> 00:29:36,374 How are you at throwing knives, Miss Ivy? 476 00:29:36,375 --> 00:29:39,554 Me? Detective. Really? 477 00:29:39,555 --> 00:29:42,013 Kitty Walker was your closest friend. 478 00:29:42,014 --> 00:29:44,333 Count Leoline was the chief suspect. 479 00:29:44,334 --> 00:29:48,135 And if he'd done it, he would have hung for it. Not necessarily. 480 00:29:48,136 --> 00:29:50,314 The evidence was circumstantial. 481 00:29:50,315 --> 00:29:53,093 I saw you strike Count Leoline yesterday. 482 00:29:53,094 --> 00:29:55,013 I thought he'd killed my friend. 483 00:29:55,014 --> 00:29:59,575 You're telling me you had no desire to seek revenge for your best friend's murder? 484 00:29:59,576 --> 00:30:02,454 No. That would be a lie. 485 00:30:02,455 --> 00:30:05,995 But the truth is, I've never thrown a knife in my whole life. 486 00:30:14,915 --> 00:30:16,454 You believe her? 487 00:30:16,455 --> 00:30:22,033 For now. But I can't think of anyone else who would have wanted revenge for Kitty Walker's murder. 488 00:30:22,034 --> 00:30:25,015 Then perhaps this has nothing to do with Kitty's revenge. 489 00:30:25,016 --> 00:30:27,494 Which puts us back to one killer. 490 00:30:27,495 --> 00:30:29,135 Who would want them both dead? 491 00:30:31,695 --> 00:30:36,175 You think I killed them? Sit down, Mr Barnett. 492 00:30:38,195 --> 00:30:41,293 Did you know that Leoline and Miss Walker were planning 493 00:30:41,294 --> 00:30:45,315 to leave your circus and take the best performers with them? 494 00:30:45,316 --> 00:30:47,894 Yes. I heard the rumours. 495 00:30:47,895 --> 00:30:49,895 They were deluding themselves. 496 00:30:49,896 --> 00:30:51,734 How so? 497 00:30:51,735 --> 00:30:55,175 There are a half-dozen travelling circuses on the Great Lakes circuit. 498 00:30:55,176 --> 00:30:57,574 This is a very tough business. 499 00:30:57,575 --> 00:30:59,295 They wouldn't have stood a chance. 500 00:30:59,296 --> 00:31:01,814 They could have tried. They did try. 501 00:31:01,815 --> 00:31:04,054 Nobody would go with them. 502 00:31:04,055 --> 00:31:06,794 They didn't mind Kitty, but Leo... 503 00:31:06,795 --> 00:31:10,373 The freaks resented his pretensions, and the normals... 504 00:31:10,374 --> 00:31:14,855 Let's just say the normals wouldn't like working for any freak, let alone Leo. 505 00:31:14,856 --> 00:31:16,974 Why is that? They resent them. 506 00:31:16,975 --> 00:31:20,115 The freaks make more money and they have no talent. 507 00:31:20,116 --> 00:31:26,314 Normals feel superior to the freaks and Leo felt superior to everybody. 508 00:31:26,315 --> 00:31:33,194 They had to fire him from his last circus because their best performers would not work with him. 509 00:31:33,195 --> 00:31:35,875 Imagine how they'd feel about working FOR him. 510 00:31:37,955 --> 00:31:40,434 What have you, George? 511 00:31:40,435 --> 00:31:45,553 We interviewed the prisoners again, and while everybody seemed to dislike Count Leoline, 512 00:31:45,554 --> 00:31:48,033 nobody confessed a grudge strong enough to kill him. 513 00:31:48,034 --> 00:31:49,775 Most just found him annoying. 514 00:31:49,776 --> 00:31:52,854 Did anyone have any insight into his murder? 515 00:31:52,855 --> 00:31:56,215 Lady Minerva seemed to think it had something to do with love. 516 00:31:56,216 --> 00:31:59,174 Did she now? It wasn't love. 517 00:31:59,175 --> 00:32:01,294 The Lovers card was reversed. 518 00:32:01,295 --> 00:32:04,035 What happened here grew from the dark side of love. 519 00:32:05,835 --> 00:32:08,455 What else do the cards tell you, Lady Minerva? 520 00:32:19,815 --> 00:32:21,874 How strange. 521 00:32:21,875 --> 00:32:24,835 These are the same cards I drew last night. 522 00:32:24,836 --> 00:32:26,995 It's happening again. 523 00:32:30,135 --> 00:32:32,195 Is that the best you can do? 524 00:32:35,175 --> 00:32:37,994 That's enough! Come on! 525 00:32:37,995 --> 00:32:41,495 What's going on? He made a joke about Kitty! Not yet in her grave! 526 00:32:41,496 --> 00:32:43,074 Sir! 527 00:32:43,075 --> 00:32:44,935 What's going on? 528 00:32:50,515 --> 00:32:52,094 He's dead, sir. 529 00:32:52,095 --> 00:32:55,115 It was just a gut punch. I swear. 530 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,798 Jake The Magician was stabbed to death. 531 00:33:08,799 --> 00:33:11,618 I beg your pardon? There wasn't a scratch on him. 532 00:33:11,619 --> 00:33:14,498 That's because he was stabbed from the inside. 533 00:33:14,499 --> 00:33:16,260 I found this switchblade in his stomach. 534 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,520 The punch must have triggered the spring. 535 00:33:22,620 --> 00:33:26,838 Jake had it in his stomach the whole time? I believe Jake regurgitated the knife, 536 00:33:26,839 --> 00:33:29,778 it was used to kill Leoline and then he swallowed it again. 537 00:33:29,779 --> 00:33:31,340 So, that's the killer then? 538 00:33:31,341 --> 00:33:33,419 I don't think so. How's that? 539 00:33:33,420 --> 00:33:36,038 Jake was in the cell to the left of Count Leoline. 540 00:33:36,039 --> 00:33:39,138 He couldn't have thrown the knife. I believe a second party was involved. 541 00:33:39,139 --> 00:33:43,518 The knife thrower. And you're hoping to find that person's fingermarks? 542 00:33:43,519 --> 00:33:46,120 Hoping. If the stomach acids didn't degrade them completely. 543 00:33:49,300 --> 00:33:50,760 Have a look, sir. 544 00:33:53,500 --> 00:33:55,999 It's a fingermark. 545 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,978 On the part of the blade that folds into the casing. 546 00:33:58,979 --> 00:34:01,300 The stomach acids must not have reached it. 547 00:34:01,301 --> 00:34:04,159 It's a very small fingermark. Yes. 548 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,000 Bloody hell, don't tell me the midget did it! 549 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,240 Sir, I don't think this fingermark is human. 550 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,280 No! 551 00:34:27,860 --> 00:34:29,400 Well? 552 00:34:32,300 --> 00:34:34,019 It's a match, sir. 553 00:34:34,020 --> 00:34:36,120 Of course it's a match. Who else could it belong to? 554 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,959 Did the monkey do it then? I don't believe so. 555 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,780 The thumb print is on the hilt of the blade, as if the monkey was pulling it out. 556 00:34:44,781 --> 00:34:47,259 Yes. That makes sense. 557 00:34:47,260 --> 00:34:54,679 I believe Jake regurgitated the knife, handed it to Athena, who then brought it to someone else. 558 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,898 And that person threw it, killing Count Leo. Athena then retrieved the knife, 559 00:34:58,899 --> 00:35:03,198 brought it back to Jake, who folded it and swallowed it anew. Bloody genius! 560 00:35:03,199 --> 00:35:07,360 Were it not for an unfortunate punch, we may have never learned the truth. We still don't have the whole story. 561 00:35:07,361 --> 00:35:10,399 Who actually threw the knife? 562 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,519 Doctor. What have you? 563 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,038 I've compared Miss Walker's wound with Count Leoline's. 564 00:35:15,039 --> 00:35:17,180 I'm certain the same knife was used in both crimes. 565 00:35:17,181 --> 00:35:18,839 I expected as much. 566 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,339 So, Jake killed Kitty? Possibly. 567 00:35:21,340 --> 00:35:23,358 Although he did have an alibi. 568 00:35:23,359 --> 00:35:26,020 Miss Ivy claims he was with her at the time. 569 00:35:26,021 --> 00:35:29,579 No, I said he was with me when Saber escaped. 570 00:35:29,580 --> 00:35:34,139 So you think Jake had time to kill Miss Walker? Indeed, I do. 571 00:35:34,140 --> 00:35:36,919 Why not simply tell me this before? 572 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:41,598 I suppose I was resistant to the notion that my lover could be a murderer. 573 00:35:41,599 --> 00:35:46,900 Well, you'll be relieved to know that there is no way Jake could have killed Count Leoline. 574 00:35:46,901 --> 00:35:49,319 But I thought... 575 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,698 You said Jake was carrying a knife in his gullet. 576 00:35:52,699 --> 00:35:58,260 Yes, but the knife was thrown from one of the cells the other side of Count Leoline. 577 00:35:58,261 --> 00:36:01,479 Perhaps the cell you were in. 578 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,778 So now you think I killed my best friend and her fiance? 579 00:36:04,779 --> 00:36:08,800 Count Leoline told me he had rejected you in favour of Miss Walker. 580 00:36:08,801 --> 00:36:12,939 My God, that man thought highly of himself! 581 00:36:12,940 --> 00:36:16,918 I attempted once to seduce him. I'd just arrived in the circus. 582 00:36:16,919 --> 00:36:18,380 I didn't even know he was engaged. 583 00:36:19,420 --> 00:36:21,059 At my last circus, 584 00:36:21,060 --> 00:36:24,520 a woman even tried to kill herself because I refused her. 585 00:36:27,240 --> 00:36:29,858 Where did you get these scars? None of your business. 586 00:36:29,859 --> 00:36:33,060 Miss Ivy, what circus were you at prior to this one? 587 00:36:36,140 --> 00:36:38,840 I believe I am done talking, sir. 588 00:36:43,020 --> 00:36:45,220 I'm afraid I can't tell you very much about Ivy. 589 00:36:45,221 --> 00:36:47,139 She just showed up one day, 590 00:36:47,140 --> 00:36:50,879 told me the story of her momma and the poison ivy. 591 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,360 She's a beguiling one. I hired her on the spot. 592 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,899 How did she get those scars? 593 00:36:57,900 --> 00:37:01,319 I would guess she had someone do them for her. 594 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,239 It would have been painful. 595 00:37:03,240 --> 00:37:06,840 Every vein of every leaf would have to be cut in with a razor. 596 00:37:07,860 --> 00:37:10,379 What about the scars on her wrists? 597 00:37:10,380 --> 00:37:13,278 I don't know how she got those. She never told me. 598 00:37:13,279 --> 00:37:15,140 I don't believe she ever told anyone. 599 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:21,458 You mentioned before that Count Leoline was fired from his last circus. 600 00:37:21,459 --> 00:37:26,418 Do you recall which one that was? The Ringling Brothers, I believe. Why? 601 00:37:26,419 --> 00:37:31,638 Sir... The Ringling Brothers have never had any performer by Ivy's name or description. 602 00:37:31,639 --> 00:37:34,658 What about Count Leoline? Yes. He worked with them until last year. 603 00:37:34,659 --> 00:37:37,278 He was fired for being difficult, apparently. No surprise there. 604 00:37:37,279 --> 00:37:41,098 The Ringling Brothers circus came through town a couple of years ago, did it not? 605 00:37:41,099 --> 00:37:43,358 Yes, sir. I took my aunt. It was a splendid show. 606 00:37:43,359 --> 00:37:47,858 Although the elephant did choose a rather unfortunate time to... Thank you, George. 607 00:37:47,859 --> 00:37:53,100 Contact the Toronto Telegraph and see if they have any Ringling Brothers photographs on file. 608 00:37:53,101 --> 00:37:55,579 Yes, sir... 609 00:37:55,580 --> 00:37:58,519 Have you saved the best for last again? 610 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:02,900 They also had in their employ a Gypsy fortune-teller by the name of Lady Minerva. 611 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,019 Very good, George. 612 00:38:07,020 --> 00:38:10,598 Forget the cards, Lady Minerva.
