361
00:16:31,030 --> 00:16:33,240
Mr. McBride, whom I work with.
362
00:16:33,450 --> 00:16:37,280
Mr. Rico from the booth
across the way also joined us.
363
00:16:37,490 --> 00:16:38,410
What of it?
364
00:16:38,620 --> 00:16:39,620
What's going on?
365
00:16:39,830 --> 00:16:42,000
A-A misunderstanding,
I'm quite sure.
366
00:16:42,210 --> 00:16:44,540
Tell the detective where I was
last night, Mr. McBride.
367
00:16:44,750 --> 00:16:46,710
Rico and I took him out
drinking.
368
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,340
I was persuading him
to come work with me
369
00:16:48,550 --> 00:16:50,050
and not that charlatan
Longfellow.
370
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,130
Until what hour?
371
00:16:52,340 --> 00:16:54,720
I'd say Mr. Edison here
staggered out of the tavern
372
00:16:54,930 --> 00:16:57,140
around 11:00 --
just before, perhaps.
373
00:16:57,350 --> 00:16:59,560
Well oiled, too.
Singing and carrying on.
374
00:17:00,140 --> 00:17:01,680
As I told you.
375
00:17:02,730 --> 00:17:04,730
Mr. Edison,
I'd like you to accompany me
376
00:17:04,940 --> 00:17:06,270
to the station house, please.
377
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,270
Is that -- ls that necessary?
378
00:17:09,860 --> 00:17:11,280
Yes.
Yes, it is.
379
00:17:13,110 --> 00:17:14,820
Thank you for coming in,
Dr. Ogden.
380
00:17:15,030 --> 00:17:16,910
- You wanted to speak to me?
- Yes. Yes, I do.
381
00:17:17,120 --> 00:17:18,660
Please have a seat.
382
00:17:23,540 --> 00:17:24,920
[ Exhales deeply]
383
00:17:25,120 --> 00:17:27,040
At the Masonic lunch,
there was talk
384
00:17:27,250 --> 00:17:29,590
about you being a candidate
at the provincial election.
385
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,710
I trust I can count
on your support, Inspector.
386
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,300
A word in your ear, Doctor.
387
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,430
It's already caused
quite a stir.
388
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,930
That's exactly our intention.
What we hope is --
389
00:17:39,140 --> 00:17:41,060
There'll be serious
consequences.
390
00:17:41,270 --> 00:17:42,140
Naturally.
391
00:17:42,350 --> 00:17:44,390
Any attempt by women
to raise their voices
392
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,440
beyond a polite murmur
is a challenge to almost --
393
00:17:46,650 --> 00:17:48,230
It's not the "woman's right
to vote" claptrap
394
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:49,730
that I'm talking about,
395
00:17:49,940 --> 00:17:53,110
although I am happy to offer
an opinion on another occasion.
396
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,490
No.
This is about Murdoch.
397
00:17:56,610 --> 00:17:58,240
William and I have discussed
my decision.
398
00:17:58,450 --> 00:17:59,410
He completely understands.
399
00:17:59,620 --> 00:18:01,080
I'm not sure he does.
400
00:18:01,700 --> 00:18:03,370
Inspector, what is this about?
401
00:18:03,580 --> 00:18:07,250
Now that you're married, Doctor,
the world sees you differently.
402
00:18:07,460 --> 00:18:08,880
You're his property.
403
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,960
And whether you like it or not,
your actions are his actions.
404
00:18:12,170 --> 00:18:14,010
That is not how William and I
view our marriage,
405
00:18:14,210 --> 00:18:15,760
-as you well know.
- Listen to me.
406
00:18:15,970 --> 00:18:17,930
You making a public spectacle
of yourself
407
00:18:18,140 --> 00:18:21,560
will not sit well with Murdoch's
political masters.
408
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,850
And legitimately standing
for political office
409
00:18:24,060 --> 00:18:25,270
is not a spectacle, sir.
410
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,140
Oh, for God's sake, woman.
411
00:18:27,350 --> 00:18:28,850
Be realistic for once.
412
00:18:30,900 --> 00:18:33,570

00:18:42,530 --> 00:18:45,830
Mr. Edison, how did you know
Frederick Longfellow?
416
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,080
I lent the Edison name
to his latest invention,
417
00:18:49,290 --> 00:18:51,710
the Vital Motion Plus.
418
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,840
Mm.
And when did you last see him?
419
00:18:54,050 --> 00:18:54,880
Yesterday.
420
00:18:55,090 --> 00:18:56,300
I left him
at the exhibition hall
421
00:18:56,510 --> 00:18:58,430
before I met up with McBride
and Rico.
422
00:18:58,630 --> 00:19:00,590
Yes.
You work for Mr. McBride now.
423
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,050
Why is that?
424
00:19:02,260 --> 00:19:05,430
My name sells their products
like hotcakes.
425
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,690
Frederick was not giving me
the respect I felt I deserved,
426
00:19:08,890 --> 00:19:10,520
so I took McBride's offer.
427
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,690
Detective, why are you asking me
these questions?
428
00:19:14,900 --> 00:19:19,820
Frederick Longfellow was found
murdered in your hotel room.
429

That's impossible.

you'll have no objection

This is bewildering.

Just answer
the detective's questions.
443
00:19:54,060 --> 00:19:57,150
Mr. Edison, how did
your fingermarks come to be
444
00:19:57,360 --> 00:19:59,530
on Mr. Longfellow's device?
445
00:19:59,740 --> 00:20:00,860
What of it?
446
00:20:01,070 --> 00:20:03,620
Well, the man was electrocuted
by his own invention.

00:20:03,820 --> 00:20:06,200
So I ask again -- How did your
fingermarks come to be on it?
448
00:20:06,410 --> 00:20:08,750
The thing was in his room.
Of course he touched it.
449
00:20:08,950 --> 00:20:11,620
Before we left for the
exhibition hall last evening,
450
00:20:11,830 --> 00:20:14,880
I examined the Vital Motion Plus

How does the Vital Motion Plus
work?
455
00:20:24,930 --> 00:20:27,760
A mild current runs through
the electrodes.
456
00:20:27,970 --> 00:20:31,180
L-I actually gave Frederick
a couple of suggestions

to improve the machine's
potency.

-he knew better than an Edison.
- That machine is a sham.

I extracted these fibers
from the victim's mouth.
484
00:21:29,790 --> 00:21:32,370
A cotton cloth of some kind
was stuffed in his mouth
485

and then removed.

00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:35,330
A handkerchief?
487
00:21:35,540 --> 00:21:38,210
There is a second color of fiber
which would suggest

00:21:38,420 --> 00:21:40,670
-a monogram.
- A monogram.

00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,690

I don't recall there being
anything.

You're lying.
Answer the question.
498
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,690
I don't see how this has
anything to do --

What are you trying to hide,
Mr. Edison?

00:22:05,650 --> 00:22:08,160
What evidence did you remove
from the scene of the crime?
501

somehow.

510
00:22:28,430 --> 00:22:29,800

00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,470
I have no doubt
that these fibers,

which were found
in Frederick Longfellow's mouth,
513
00:22:34,850 --> 00:22:36,850
will match those
of this handkerchief.
514
00:22:38,810 --> 00:22:41,440
Mr. Edison Jr.,
I'm afraid I must detain you
515

on suspicion of murder.
516
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,210
CRABTREE: Sir, why did you
not charge Edison Jr.?
517
00:22:57,410 --> 00:22:59,620
Because it troubles me
that I can't figure out
518
00:22:59,830 --> 00:23:03,040
what caused the deadly current
that killed Longfellow.
519
00:23:03,250 --> 00:23:05,800
All these connections
appear to be in order.
520
00:23:06,010 --> 00:23:07,630
When I was at
the medical exhibition, sir,
521
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,470
I saw a prosthetic hand
that ran on electricity.
522
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:11,510
Fully functional?
523
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:12,550
Yes, sir.
524
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,930
Must be the work
of a great scientific mind.
525
00:23:15,140 --> 00:23:16,220
Sir, it was uncanny.
526
00:23:16,430 --> 00:23:19,140
I wonder if the future will
allow for electronic body parts
527
00:23:19,350 --> 00:23:22,690
to replace our hands or hair
or...
528
00:23:23,730 --> 00:23:24,480
Hair?
529
00:23:24,690 --> 00:23:26,530
Well, yes, sir.
A toupee of sorts.
530
00:23:26,740 --> 00:23:27,780
But if you were frightened,
531
00:23:27,990 --> 00:23:29,910

would cause it to stand on end.

this side of the transformer.
536
00:23:42,540 --> 00:23:44,040
You think it was disconnected?
537
00:23:44,250 --> 00:23:45,050
I believe so.
538
00:23:45,250 --> 00:23:47,760
That would certainly bypass
the transformer.
539
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,340
So it must have been
reconnected.
540
00:23:49,550 --> 00:23:52,340
But not before delivering
the deadly current
541
00:23:52,550 --> 00:23:53,720
that killed Longfellow.
542
00:23:56,390 --> 00:23:58,270
Mr. Edison,
I have a few more questions.
543
00:23:58,480 --> 00:23:59,480
Detective, I-l don't know
544
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,730
how that handkerchief
got in Frederick's mouth.
545
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,270
You really have no recollection
of where you went that night?
546
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:06,270
None at all.
547
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,740
I woke up in a tavern
in the west end
548
00:24:08,940 --> 00:24:10,900
the morning I was to appear
at the exhibition.
549
00:24:11,110 --> 00:24:13,320
Certainly not
a convincing alibi.
550
00:24:13,910 --> 00:24:15,950
It's the only one I have.
551
00:24:16,620 --> 00:24:17,660
Right, then.
552
00:24:17,870 --> 00:24:20,620
The Vital Motion Plus requires
a transformer --
553
00:24:20,830 --> 00:24:21,620
Of course.
554
00:24:21,830 --> 00:24:24,460
You cannot shoot direct current
into a machine like that.
555
00:24:24,670 --> 00:24:26,170
You'll electrocute the user.
556
00:24:26,380 --> 00:24:28,170
Direct current?
557
00:24:28,380 --> 00:24:30,170
Don't you mean
alternating current?
558
00:24:30,380 --> 00:24:33,760
Really, Detective.
"Direct" means directly.
559
00:24:33,970 --> 00:24:35,260
Clearly more powerful
than a current
560
00:24:35,470 --> 00:24:37,060
that goes back and forth.
561
00:24:37,260 --> 00:24:39,850
Even someone with a rudimentary
knowledge of electricity
562
00:24:40,060 --> 00:24:40,890
knows that.
563
00:24:42,890 --> 00:24:46,730
I believe you may have this
confused, Mr. Edison.
564
00:24:46,940 --> 00:24:51,030
A rectifier converts alternating
current to direct current.
565
00:24:51,610 --> 00:24:54,820
A transformer simply changes
the voltage.
566
00:24:55,030 --> 00:24:56,030
Does it?
567
00:24:56,990 --> 00:24:58,370
Are you sure?
568
00:24:58,580 --> 00:25:00,250
Quite sure.
569
00:25:01,870 --> 00:25:02,870
To tell the truth,
570
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,420
I never really grasped
the fundamentals of electricity.
571
00:25:06,630 --> 00:25:08,550
But there's no need
to share that with my father,
572
00:25:08,750 --> 00:25:09,800
is there, Detective?
573
00:25:10,010 --> 00:25:14,010
He might be, shall we say,
disappointed.
574
00:25:19,430 --> 00:25:21,600
I trust you got everything
sorted, Murdoch.
575
00:25:22,390 --> 00:25:24,600
Sir, I've interviewed Edison Jr.
and --
576
00:25:24,810 --> 00:25:26,860
I meant with your wife,
the good doctor.
577
00:25:27,610 --> 00:25:28,570
CRABTREE:
Sirs.
578
00:25:28,770 --> 00:25:29,900
What have you, George?
579
00:25:30,110 --> 00:25:32,360
Edison Jr. has endorsed
various devices --
580
00:25:32,570 --> 00:25:35,660
my favorite being the solid gold
Wizard Fountain Pen --
581
00:25:35,860 --> 00:25:38,320
but nothing seems to warrant
a dispute with Longfellow
582
00:25:38,530 --> 00:25:39,330
worthy of murder.
583
00:25:39,530 --> 00:25:40,540
Could be over anything.
584
00:25:40,740 --> 00:25:42,540
Junior's touting
for another inventor now.
585
00:25:42,750 --> 00:25:43,580
Isn't that enough?
586
00:25:43,790 --> 00:25:46,370
Sir, I now don't think
that he's our man.
587
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:47,960
The murder was committed
588
00:25:48,170 --> 00:25:50,750
by skillfully bypassing elements
of the transformer.
589
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,260
I don't think Edison Jr. had the
technical know-how to do that.
590
00:25:54,470 --> 00:25:56,130
Well, what about the evidence
against him?
591
00:25:56,340 --> 00:25:57,840
The dead man was killed
in his room.
592
00:25:58,050 --> 00:25:59,850
Fingermarks all over
the machine.
593
00:26:00,060 --> 00:26:02,220
And Junior's handkerchief was
stuffed in the victim's mouth.
594
00:26:02,430 --> 00:26:04,930
All very convenient.
595
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,520
What about this mystery lady
last seen with Longfellow?
596
00:26:07,730 --> 00:26:08,650
Any luck tracking her down?
597
00:26:08,860 --> 00:26:10,980
By the clerk's account,
dark hair, exotic.
598
00:26:11,190 --> 00:26:12,150
Perhaps a lady of the night.
599
00:26:12,360 --> 00:26:14,070
We're circulating
her description now.
600
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,570
A needle
in the proverbial haystack.
601
00:26:16,780 --> 00:26:18,700
Anyway, that's enough for today,
gentlemen.
602
00:26:18,910 --> 00:26:21,330
Some of us have got wives
to go home to.
603
00:26:24,410 --> 00:26:26,540
I don't know why the inspector
felt the need to interfere.
604
00:26:26,750 --> 00:26:28,580
I felt as though
I was in front of the headmaster
605
00:26:28,790 --> 00:26:30,750
to account for my naughtiness.
606
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,380
- Mr. Mansfield.
- Evening, Detective Murdoch.
607
00:26:32,590 --> 00:26:35,590
That's what you get for asking
him to walk you down the aisle.
608
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,300
- Unwanted fatherly advice.
- You should have heard him.
609
00:26:38,510 --> 00:26:40,300
"Your actions are his actions."
610
00:26:40,510 --> 00:26:42,060
Am I to be forever hamstrung
611
00:26:42,260 --> 00:26:44,180
by such a backward view
of marriage?
612
00:26:44,390 --> 00:26:47,350
Let's not let society
constrain us, Julia,

no matter what the consequences.
614
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,610
We're a modern couple
living in a modern world.
615
00:26:51,820 --> 00:26:53,570
Absolutely.
616
00:26:54,360 --> 00:26:56,530
But what consequences
do you mean?
617
00:26:56,740 --> 00:26:58,990
Will you be censured
if I run for election?
618
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:00,700
Oh, tongues will wag.
619
00:27:00,910 --> 00:27:02,370
Ancient history
will be dragged up.
620
00:27:02,580 --> 00:27:04,330
But your position
is not in jeopardy, surely.
621

They might dismiss you?

Well, that's ridiculous.

My reputation
stands for something.
628
00:27:17,380 --> 00:27:20,260
And I'm sure the inspector will
back me if it comes to that.
629
00:27:20,470 --> 00:27:22,430
William, you should not be put
in that position.

Oh, Julia,

Oh.
That's a relief.

that very question.

Ah.

about the company he keeps.

I don't know why, but the boy
has never applied himself.

He's been lackadaisical
since his school days.
644
00:28:02,010 --> 00:28:04,300
- Well, that must be frustrating.
- Frustrating?

Yes.

that was last seen
with Mr. Longfellow.
651
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,070
Quite likely a prostitute.

That woman was no prostitute.
653
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:22,910
I can assure you of that.
654
00:28:23,110 --> 00:28:24,070
Why do you say that?
655
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,530
Longfellow was too cheap
to pay for a woman.
656
00:28:26,740 --> 00:28:28,450
At the beginning
of any exhibition,
657
00:28:28,660 --> 00:28:31,540
he'd find himself a pretty young
demonstrator to consort with.
658
00:28:31,750 --> 00:28:32,960
Then he'd drop her
like a hot potato

of young girls came by.

My sales have plummeted

00:29:05,870 --> 00:29:08,990
Mr. Edison is currently a guest
of Station House Number Four

and will remain as such until
this investigation is concluded.

00:30:42,670 --> 00:30:45,050
L-I should get back to work,
if you don't mind.
713
00:30:45,260 --> 00:30:48,340
Please, Miss Rico, continue.
714
00:30:48,550 --> 00:30:50,300
Speak up, Anna.
715
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,970
We walked into a hotel room.
716
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,810
The machine he had invented
was there.
717
00:30:58,390 --> 00:31:00,230
He wanted to show it to you.
718
00:31:00,900 --> 00:31:04,030
I think rather he was trying to
seduce me.
719
00:31:05,230 --> 00:31:06,320
I'm sorry, Papa.
720
00:31:06,530 --> 00:31:08,400
L-I should not have gone
that night.
721
00:31:08,610 --> 00:31:09,950
What happened after that?
722
00:31:11,910 --> 00:31:15,370
Well, I was about to get into
the machine.
723
00:31:15,580 --> 00:31:17,000
There was a knock at the door.
724
00:31:17,210 --> 00:31:19,870
Another man came in.
He was very drunk.
725
00:31:20,460 --> 00:31:22,500
I began to think
it was not such a good idea
726
00:31:22,710 --> 00:31:26,130
to be in a hotel room
with two men, so I left.
727
00:31:26,710 --> 00:31:28,220
This man that came
to the hotel --
728
00:31:28,420 --> 00:31:29,590
Would you recognize him?
729
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:32,760
Answer, Anna.
730
00:31:32,970 --> 00:31:35,310
You have to tell the detective
everything you know.
731
00:31:36,890 --> 00:31:39,310
Yes.
I recognized him.
732
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,600
He works here at the exhibition.
733
00:31:41,810 --> 00:31:42,860
Who is he?
734
00:31:43,980 --> 00:31:45,780
Thomas Edison Jr.
735
00:31:50,820 --> 00:31:52,070
In light
of this new information,
736
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,450
your son will have to remain
in custody, Mr. Edison.
737
00:31:54,660 --> 00:31:55,450
I see.
738
00:31:55,660 --> 00:31:57,330
I've arranged for a good lawyer.
739
00:31:57,540 --> 00:31:59,410
Uh, would you like to see him?
740
00:31:59,620 --> 00:32:00,960
I don't think so.
741
00:32:01,170 --> 00:32:03,330
It's a matter for the courts
now.
742
00:32:04,630 --> 00:32:05,840
It's a hard pill to swallow,
743
00:32:06,050 --> 00:32:07,670
discovering your son's
a murderer.
744
00:32:08,260 --> 00:32:10,010
Sir, I'm convinced
there's more to this.
745
00:32:10,220 --> 00:32:11,300
You can't argue
with the evidence
746
00:32:11,510 --> 00:32:12,800
now that there's an eyewitness.
747
00:32:13,010 --> 00:32:15,430
Are you sure you're not being
blinded by his pedigree?
748
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,220
Sir, there are several
possibilities.
749
00:32:17,430 --> 00:32:18,220
For example,
750
00:32:18,430 --> 00:32:22,230
Anna Rico also works for
Mr. McBride, Longfellow's rival.
751
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,560
The two of them
could be up to something.
752
00:32:24,770 --> 00:32:26,610
Have Crabtree see
what he can come up with on her,
753
00:32:26,820 --> 00:32:28,110
though I doubt you will find
anything.
754
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,820
Sometimes it's just
what's in front of you.
755
00:32:31,030 --> 00:32:31,860
Sir.
756
00:32:32,070 --> 00:32:35,370
Murdoch, did my word
with the doctor sink in?
757
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,000
Julia told me
you spoke with her.
758
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:40,830
Good.
So it's sorted.
759
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,040
Very much so.
760
00:32:42,250 --> 00:32:44,460
I fully support
her decision to run.
761
00:32:46,210 --> 00:32:48,460
I'm gonna give this to you
straight, Murdoch.
762
00:32:48,670 --> 00:32:50,670
Your wife's actions
are jeopardizing your position
763
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,050
within the constabulary.
764
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,340
Sir, the world is changing.
765
00:32:54,550 --> 00:32:55,800
So I'm bloody told.
766
00:32:56,430 --> 00:32:57,930
I know you've married
a firebrand
767
00:32:58,140 --> 00:33:01,810
and she's the persuasive type,
but you're her husband.
768
00:33:02,020 --> 00:33:03,560
What you say goes.
769
00:33:03,770 --> 00:33:06,400
Wear the trousers for once, man.
770
00:33:09,900 --> 00:33:12,150
This matter is closed.
771
00:33:14,030 --> 00:33:17,120
I'll look into Anna Rico
for you, sir.
772
00:33:24,670 --> 00:33:27,340
We could have a poster of Julia
dressed as Liberty.
773
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:29,630
Oh, come on. You don't like
the idea of Liberty?
774
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,340
It's stirring.
775
00:33:31,550 --> 00:33:33,260
Very Boadicea, et al.
776
00:33:33,470 --> 00:33:35,930
A female warrior.
That I like.
777
00:33:36,140 --> 00:33:37,350
A warrior princess.
778
00:33:37,550 --> 00:33:40,140
Oh, now, she doesn't have to be
a princess.
779
00:33:40,350 --> 00:33:41,640
Emily.
Hello.
780
00:33:41,850 --> 00:33:42,930
Miss Moss.
781
00:33:43,140 --> 00:33:44,560
- Am I interrupting?
- Not at all.
782
00:33:44,770 --> 00:33:46,940
We were just going over
some ideas for your publicity.
783
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:50,780
Is something wrong?
784
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,950
Actually, I came to tell you I'm
withdrawing from the election.
785
00:33:54,150 --> 00:33:55,950
- What?
- I think it's for the best.
786
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:57,490
I bring a lot of controversy
with me.
787
00:33:57,700 --> 00:34:00,490
Why does that matter?
It's about taking a stand.
788
00:34:00,700 --> 00:34:03,120
I really feel quite strongly
about this, Emily.
789
00:34:03,330 --> 00:34:05,290
I'm not the right candidate.
790
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:07,710
Will you give us a moment?
791
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,290
Julia.
792
00:34:12,300 --> 00:34:13,760
Why are you giving up so easily?
793
00:34:13,970 --> 00:34:15,090
I'm not giving up.
794
00:34:15,300 --> 00:34:17,550
It just need not be me
on the campaign poster.
795
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:18,930
This is about the detective,
isn't it?
796
00:34:19,140 --> 00:34:20,600
Let me guess.
He doesn't approve.
797
00:34:20,810 --> 00:34:21,600
On the contrary.
798
00:34:21,810 --> 00:34:23,390
He completely supports
my running.
799
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,390
He's almost more enthusiastic
than I am.
800
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,140
Then what is the problem?
801
00:34:28,900 --> 00:34:31,480
What I do directly impacts
upon William.
802
00:34:31,690 --> 00:34:33,570
I have to take that
into consideration.
803
00:34:35,190 --> 00:34:37,360
If you weren't married to him,
what would you do?
804
00:34:38,660 --> 00:34:40,410
Emily...
805
00:34:41,370 --> 00:34:43,540
...this matter is closed.
806
00:34:48,170 --> 00:34:49,130
[ Door closes ]
807
00:34:49,330 --> 00:34:51,500
When a woman marries,
she loses a piece of herself.
808
00:34:51,710 --> 00:34:53,420
So it seems.
809
00:34:53,630 --> 00:34:55,300
I do know a place
that will serve a woman
810
00:34:55,510 --> 00:34:56,380
a good stiff drink.
811
00:34:56,590 --> 00:34:59,640
Then I would like to know
where that place is.
812
00:35:00,180 --> 00:35:01,390
Anna Rico?
813
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,560
I don't know any Anna Rico.
814
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:04,890
What are you asking me for?
815
00:35:05,100 --> 00:35:07,230
She claims you arrived
at the hotel room
816
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,060
not half an hour before
Mr. Longfellow was murdered.
817
00:35:10,270 --> 00:35:12,860
Why would a woman I've never met
lie about me?
818
00:35:14,070 --> 00:35:15,110
[Sighs]
819
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,070
I must have been there.
820
00:35:17,820 --> 00:35:19,490
Maybe I am your killer,
Detective.
821
00:35:20,070 --> 00:35:23,370
Well, the evidence certainly
points towards you, Mr. Edison.
822
00:35:23,580 --> 00:35:25,950
Are you sure
you remember nothing?
823
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,000
Sadly, I don't.
824
00:35:29,250 --> 00:35:31,040
Has my father asked about me?
825
00:35:31,250 --> 00:35:32,880
He hasn't visited.
826
00:35:33,630 --> 00:35:36,300
He's arranged for a good lawyer
for you.
827
00:35:36,510 --> 00:35:37,340
Of course he has.
828
00:35:37,550 --> 00:35:40,380
He wouldn't want the Edison name
sullied.
829
00:35:47,140 --> 00:35:49,810
Sir, I've been doing that search
you asked for.
830
00:35:50,020 --> 00:35:51,940
Rico.
It's an uncommon surname.
831
00:35:52,150 --> 00:35:54,480
But I found a court document
filed a couple of years ago
832
00:35:54,690 --> 00:35:55,900
by a Georgia Rico.
833
00:35:56,110 --> 00:35:57,860
- Georgio Rico?
- Yes, sir.
834
00:35:58,070 --> 00:36:00,280
But it was witnessed
by his sister Anna.
835
00:36:00,490 --> 00:36:01,610
Now, as it turns out,
836
00:36:01,820 --> 00:36:03,490
Georgia Rico was trying to
win back a patent
837
00:36:03,700 --> 00:36:06,700
for this long-lasting
light-bulb filament.
838
00:36:06,910 --> 00:36:08,750
He was suing
Frederick Longfellow, sir,
839
00:36:08,950 --> 00:36:10,370
and Mr. Edison Sr.
840
00:36:10,580 --> 00:36:12,500
Of course I remember Georgie.
841
00:36:12,710 --> 00:36:13,790
Good brain.
842
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,590
Longfellow brought me
his filament invention.
843
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,260
- And you patented it.
- Yes.
844
00:36:18,460 --> 00:36:19,760
Longfellow and I formed
a company
845
00:36:19,970 --> 00:36:21,680
and put it into production.
846
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,680
Very successful it was, too.
847
00:36:24,890 --> 00:36:26,810
And Mr. Rico's involvement?
848
00:36:27,010 --> 00:36:29,980
The young man was remunerated
for his work,
849
00:36:30,180 --> 00:36:33,190
but he did not grasp
the business side of things.
850
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:34,980
Hence the lawsuit.
851
00:36:35,190 --> 00:36:37,480
Do you know where we might be
able to find him?
852
00:36:37,690 --> 00:36:42,070
Sadly, there was a tragic end
after the lawsuit failed.
853
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,450
Suicide, I understand.
854
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:46,830
A shame, really.
855
00:36:47,030 --> 00:36:49,160
The lad had talent.
856
00:36:50,290 --> 00:36:51,960
Gentlemen.
857
00:36:54,380 --> 00:36:57,880
I almost feel sorry for Junior,
with a father like that.
858
00:36:58,090 --> 00:37:01,090
With her brother's tragic death
after a failed lawsuit,
859
00:37:01,300 --> 00:37:04,300
that would certainly give
Anna Rico motive for murder.
860
00:37:04,510 --> 00:37:06,390
It would indeed.
861
00:37:09,220 --> 00:37:12,560
Sirs, I spoke to Mr. Mansfield,
the desk clerk.
862
00:37:12,770 --> 00:37:15,020
He confirms that Anna Rico
was in the hotel lobby
863
00:37:15,230 --> 00:37:17,270
at the time of the power outage,
at quarter to midnight.
864
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:21,030
He didn't see anybody else of
note coming or going that night.
865
00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:22,610
Thank you, George.
866
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:24,740
So she's not our murderer.
867
00:37:24,950 --> 00:37:26,280
Edison Jr. did it.
868
00:37:26,490 --> 00:37:28,910
Well, sir,
there is another possibility.
869
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:30,790
Anna Rico could be involved.
870
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:31,790
How?
871
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,170
Well, she could easily
have lured Longfellow
872
00:37:34,370 --> 00:37:35,210
into his machine,
873
00:37:35,420 --> 00:37:38,090
once strapped in, let
someone else into the room --
874
00:37:38,290 --> 00:37:41,460
someone who may have had reason
to want Longfellow dead.
875
00:37:41,670 --> 00:37:43,050
Why frame Edison Jr.?
876
00:37:43,260 --> 00:37:44,880
He had nothing to do
with the business dealings
877
00:37:45,090 --> 00:37:46,340
that caused
the brother's suicide.
878
00:37:46,550 --> 00:37:47,800
That was Edison Sr.
879
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,100
Sir, if you want to truly punish
a man...
880
00:37:52,980 --> 00:37:54,730
You take his son.
881
00:38:00,190 --> 00:38:04,650
Mr. Rico, you took advantage
of Edison's weakness for drink,
882
00:38:04,860 --> 00:38:07,160
knowing that he would remember
nothing.
883
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,280
Your daughter Anna
let you into the room,
884
00:38:09,490 --> 00:38:12,580
where you rigged the machine
to electrocute Longfellow,
885
00:38:12,790 --> 00:38:15,580
leaving behind a trail of clues
you know we would find,
886
00:38:15,790 --> 00:38:18,170
including an eyewitness.
887
00:38:19,750 --> 00:38:21,210
Why, Mr. Rico?
888
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,260
Georgia.
889
00:38:23,460 --> 00:38:25,420
He was a genius.
890
00:38:26,050 --> 00:38:27,680
I joined
the traveling exhibition,
891
00:38:27,890 --> 00:38:30,890
selling my wares like
a common showman to support him.
892
00:38:31,720 --> 00:38:33,810
He took over my workshop.
893
00:38:34,020 --> 00:38:37,770
The electrical limb
was his invention.
894
00:38:37,980 --> 00:38:40,400
The filament for the light bulb
was another.
895
00:38:42,020 --> 00:38:43,650
His life was just beginning
896
00:38:43,860 --> 00:38:47,450
when it was cut short
by the greed of those men.
897
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,210
Mr. Rico, you are under arrest
for murder.
898
00:39:10,970 --> 00:39:11,970
You.!
899
00:39:12,180 --> 00:39:15,100
You would have seen my son hang
for murder!
900
00:39:15,310 --> 00:39:16,850
You killed mine.
901
00:39:17,060 --> 00:39:18,940
What?!
I did no such thing!
902
00:39:19,140 --> 00:39:20,230
You took his life
903
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,070
as much as if you had tied the
rope around his neck yourself.
904
00:39:23,270 --> 00:39:24,530
Why my son?
905
00:39:24,730 --> 00:39:25,570
Why not me?
906
00:39:25,780 --> 00:39:28,650
I wanted you to know how I feel.
907
00:39:28,860 --> 00:39:32,530
To grow old without
your beloved boy at your side.
908
00:39:32,740 --> 00:39:36,830
What greater pain can there be
than to lose one's son?
909
00:39:38,290 --> 00:39:40,500
Take me away, Detective.
910
00:39:41,750 --> 00:39:42,790
I am ready.
911
00:39:53,390 --> 00:39:56,270
Mr. Edison, you're free to go.
912
00:39:56,470 --> 00:39:58,230
Thank you, Detective.
913
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:05,440
Goodbye, Father.
914
00:40:05,650 --> 00:40:07,440
I would like to wish you well.
915
00:40:07,650 --> 00:40:09,530
Then so do.
ls it so hard?
916
00:40:09,740 --> 00:40:11,860
Have you learned nothing
from your time in the cells?
917
00:40:12,070 --> 00:40:13,990
Yes. That my father
would leave me there to rot.
918
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:15,830
Patently untrue.
Tell him, Detective --
919
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,450
Gentlemen,
given the tragic circumstances
920
00:40:18,660 --> 00:40:21,790
surrounding this case,
perhaps it would be a good idea
921
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,630
for you to come to some sort
of civilized arrangement.
922
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:26,050
I can see no way forward
923
00:40:26,250 --> 00:40:28,510
while the boy insists on using
the Edison name
924
00:40:28,710 --> 00:40:29,800
to endorse worthless products.
925
00:40:30,010 --> 00:40:30,880
I have to live.
926
00:40:31,090 --> 00:40:32,260
I cannot do so
without an income.
927
00:40:32,470 --> 00:40:33,970
What do you suggest that I do?
928
00:40:34,180 --> 00:40:35,550
If you had paid attention
at school --
929
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,060
Perhaps I could help find
a compromise
930
00:40:38,270 --> 00:40:39,770
that's acceptable
to both parties.
931
00:40:39,980 --> 00:40:41,440
Like What?
932
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:42,690
[Clears throat]
933
00:40:42,900 --> 00:40:44,690
Perhaps Mr. Edison Jr.
would be willing
934
00:40:44,900 --> 00:40:47,440
to not use the family name
in business
935
00:40:47,650 --> 00:40:50,320
in exchange
for a monthly stipend.
936
00:40:50,530 --> 00:40:52,990
That might be acceptable.
937
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:54,700
How healthy a stipend?
938
00:40:54,910 --> 00:40:56,660
I'll have the details drawn up.
939
00:40:56,870 --> 00:40:58,040
Good day, Detective.
940
00:41:02,830 --> 00:41:04,250
I'm sorry things couldn't end
on a --
941
00:41:04,460 --> 00:41:07,840
Now I am no longer shackled
to the Edison name,
942
00:41:08,050 --> 00:41:11,470
what do you think
of Thomas Willard?
943
00:41:11,670 --> 00:41:13,510
That's a perfectly good name.
944
00:41:13,720 --> 00:41:16,890
Perhaps Burton Willard has
more authority.
945
00:41:17,470 --> 00:41:18,260
Also good.
946
00:41:18,470 --> 00:41:19,470
Burton Willard.
947
00:41:20,060 --> 00:41:23,480
I can see that name
splashed across a billboard.
948
00:41:26,900 --> 00:41:29,270
What an odd pair
the Edisons turned out to be.
949
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:31,940
Not what you expect
a famous father and son
950
00:41:32,150 --> 00:41:32,950
to be like at all.
951
00:41:33,150 --> 00:41:34,200
There's no telling, is there?
952
00:41:34,410 --> 00:41:35,200
You never really know
953
00:41:35,410 --> 00:41:37,160
what the private lives
of public figures are like.
954
00:41:37,370 --> 00:41:38,910
I suppose not.
Who knows?
955
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:40,660
Maybe young Edison will end up
on a career path
956
00:41:40,870 --> 00:41:42,160
that doesn't step on
his father's.
957
00:41:42,370 --> 00:41:44,830
Maybe he'll be a-a beekeeper
or something.
958
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:45,830
[ Chuckles ]
959
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:46,880
Well, from what you describe,
960
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,550
it doesn't seem as though he'll
succeed at much of anything.
961
00:41:49,750 --> 00:41:51,710
Oh. I just want to step in here
for a moment.
962
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:53,880
- You two go on.
- All right.
963
00:41:57,140 --> 00:42:00,310
Do you think Mr. Edison Jr.
will miss his father?
964
00:42:00,510 --> 00:42:02,890
I suspect he might, you know.
Who knows?
965
00:42:03,100 --> 00:42:06,690
Maybe the two will mellow out
over the next few years.
966
00:42:07,310 --> 00:42:09,020
[Calliope music playing]
967
00:42:09,230 --> 00:42:10,570
I would miss my father.
968
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:13,740
I already miss him a lot.
969
00:42:13,940 --> 00:42:15,900
Why do you think
my morn won't tell me
970
00:42:16,110 --> 00:42:18,120
that he's never coming back?
971
00:42:19,620 --> 00:42:20,700
What do you mean?
972
00:42:21,620 --> 00:42:24,290
She got a letter a couple
months ago that made her cry.
973
00:42:24,500 --> 00:42:26,040
Did you read it?
974
00:42:27,540 --> 00:42:29,000
I know my father's dead.
975
00:42:32,130 --> 00:42:33,300
She just won't say anything.
976
00:42:34,380 --> 00:42:38,140
Well, that's a very difficult
thing to tell a son, Simon.
977
00:42:38,340 --> 00:42:40,510
You should tell her
that you know already.
978
00:42:41,100 --> 00:42:41,930
You think?
979
00:42:42,140 --> 00:42:44,140
I do.
I think she would be relieved.
980
00:42:44,350 --> 00:42:46,390
I think you might feel relieved.
981
00:42:47,690 --> 00:42:48,940
Yeah.
982
00:42:49,150 --> 00:42:50,900
I should tell her.
983
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,820
Do you want to...
984
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,700
I don't know. Do you want to
give this thing a whack?
985
00:42:58,910 --> 00:43:00,660
- Yeah.
- Here you are.
986
00:43:01,740 --> 00:43:03,580
Give it a good one, now.

Very good.

That was so close.

Oh, I don't know.
