BEFORE THE SERIES The detective, Eliza, is a male profession.
But you somehow manage.
You seem excited
Miss Scarlet. All is well?
I'm not a thief! I am a private investigator!
Well yes!
- Father. - His heart stopped.
He passed away, Miss Scarlet.
Soon everyone will know that his father is dead,
and then they will come from us to demand debts.
Ambition has nothing to do with it, I think about money.
In connection with the death of your father I hope to be of service to you
in this difficult time.
Who are you?
I...
I am your father's friend.
We play hide and seek.
But dad is not at home.
You yourself saw
how he left for service in the morning.
When they watched the house.
Why are you alone?
I have a cold.
Mom went to buy me honey.
Already come.
Give me some money.
I want to buy a new doll.
No.
Well, i need to go.
If you don’t give money,
i will scream
mom will come and you’ll be sent straight to jail.
Everyone, please.
Excluded.
Your father decided not to pay me for work, because I'm a woman.
So I had to take business in your own hands.
Give me the money, you are told. Or I'll scream.

AUTHOR IDEAS - RACHEL NEW
Miss Scarlet
how glad I am to see you.
Welcome to my new home.
And this is a beautiful house, Mr. Parker.
Miss Scarlet, let me introduce:
my close friend, Dr. Morhouse.
When Rupert Told about your meeting, I asked for a visit.
I was overjoyed
anticipating a long-awaited acquaintance with the lady detective.
You see, I was hoping to discuss with you
financial matters, Mr. Parker.
Yes. I ask you to. Ask.
So.
Miss Scarlet insisted
at meetings once a month,
so that I can personally appreciate
affairs of our detective bureau.
So you described her very accurately, Rupert. Smart as no one else!
- Yes. - I bet you
that your enterprise goes uphill.
So, Mr. Parker,
forced to admit that ...
... I can’t pay you
on the first part of the loan.
But this is just
difficulties of the initial period.
Miss Scarlet
Yes, we are business partners.
But are we not friends?
As your friend, I assure you
I won’t demand urgent payment.
Thank you Mr. Parker.
Rupert.
I ask you to,
Eliza
I think we have something to celebrate.
Detective case - it must be fun.
It’s a pity that I don’t have such a hobby.
Tell me, Miss Scarlet, what happens when do you catch the criminal?
Do you beat a villain with a purse?
By the way, how did your mother perceive
news of your move?
She is...
... tried to dissuade me,
but...
... I followed your advice.
He insisted.
I hope you didn’t tell her what exactly did I bring you to this thought?
Of course he did. And she was furious.
Do not worry.
Now that mother knows that we will not get married
she has no reason to visit you anymore.
For the future.
Miss Scarlet!
Mrs. Parker, what a pleasant meeting.
I...
... hope you stay for tea?
This is not a secular visit.
It's some kind of mistake.
Father could not see this.
He had something to distract after the death of your mother.
And on the extension of the lease on the house he simply forgot.
But I do not have money.
So I will find new tenants.
It’s also impossible.
I live here all my life.
I own seven houses on this street.
This is my bread and my butter.
And there will be no exceptions for you.
Why didn’t you warn me?
I mistakenly thought
that you will become my daughter-in-law
and therefore you will live with me and Rupert.
So that's all - just because What did I refuse to your son?
I didn’t spite you.
But they advised him to move out - in spite.
Everything was amazing,
until he got hold of you all nonsense!
Mrs. Parker, please ...
I give time until the end of the week.
If you can’t pay, I will have to evict you.
Bye.
How can she?
I will save this house at all costs.
This is our house.
“Yours, mine, and Kitty.” - Kitty is gone.
Found another place.
- Well, yes, I did not pay her for two weeks ... - Three.
But at the initial stage it is always difficult.
My bureau works only a month.
One and a half.
So you will leave.
Only one thing remains.
Which of my dresses is the best?
Most likely burgundy.
We fell so low What will we sell dresses?
No, don't sell, Ivy.
But you need to stroke.
William.
Eliza
What is obliged such a sudden pleasure?
Walked by and decided to have some tea with an old friend.
The idea is good
but I got sick six employees, so I can’t.
I rarely go to the bakery on Charing Cross Road.
And if your people were poisoned there ...
She is far from ideal.
Due to lack of people you are probably very busy.
I have five kills
three missing
and the judge being blackmailed
so - yes, there are enough worries.
It just dawned on me.
I didn’t think everything through, but ...
I am sure of the opposite.
I can offer my help.
Not for free, of course.
Seductive thought but if you don't have a badge
metropolitan police then afraid I can not accept your offer.
Well, what to do ...
I have enough of my clients.
Yes, I heard how terribly busy you are.
Two cases since the opening of the bureau.
Three - if you count mysterious noise in the attic
crazy mad mead.
Rats, it seems?
Are you spying on me?
No. Personally - I do not spy. No.
Help me, Duke.
We have arson here at the Macintosh factory in Hackney.
- Take Davy. “He's on the kill in Shoreditch.”
Well, someone else.
There is not anyone.
I do not for a long time.
Come on.
Urgent dispatch to Inspector Wellington.
Leave on the table.
When he returns, I will tell him.
Do not go there, it is dangerous there.
I sent for the police.
No! Wait! Where are you going?!
Edward!
What have you done?!
Let my husband go!
Frank! To his plot.
I did not kill him!
Of course he didn’t kill.
Do not dare touch it!
Let it go!
I ask you to! Mr. Inspector!
- You are welcome! - Let me go! It's not me!
You read the police telegram.
But curiosity is the most important quality in our profession.
This is my profession, not yours.
To make a name for yourself, I have to gain experience.
You may not have noticed but today is an extremely difficult day for me
so you better listen to my advice and leave.
Now.
I will give you advice too.
Eliza, I warn you: one more word -
and you will be in court.
You will become more collected and hardy,
if you stop drinking play and debauchery.
You are accused of obstructing police work.
You will be fined 40 shillings.
But I do not have 40 shillings.
In this case, a month in prison.
I will pay a fine for Miss Scarlet.
I begged the inspector to listen to me,
but he is convinced that my husband is a killer.
Therefore, I have come to you.
I found out that you are a private investigator.
This is Inspector Wellington. so praised me?
You must find the real killer.
My husband is innocent.
He is very...
... kind and gentle man.
I pray,
lest the prison break him.
Edward bought me this coat,
when we got married.
To always notice me in the crowd.
It is too luxurious for me.
I only wear it for him.
Listen, Mrs. Butler,
upon detention your husband held a knife in his hand,
covered in blood of the slain.
I need guarantees that I will receive fee, no matter what the matter ends.
For money, things will not.
You will be paid anyway.
Good.
Tell me
about the murdered.
Any trifle is important to me.
His name was Sebastian Ridley.
He owns a salon in Mayfair.
Edward is his accountant.
"RIDLEY SALON" They are colleagues, no more.
I didn’t know Mr. Ridley.
He was a noisy, uncivil man.
Is there anyone
Hello, Miss Scarlet.
Mr. Moses, right?
Just Moses.
All these days I've been thinking a lot about you
Miss Scarlet.
Hope nothing wrong?
When the owner of the Black Cat found out
that his security chief had fastened some woman to the battery
it was very sad.
“He fired me.” “I'm not looking for a quarrel.”
I'm investigating the murder of Ridley
on behalf of the accused’s wife.
Perhaps you can help me?
I warn you
I am armed.
Mr. Ridley was a cautious person.
I want to live, Mr. Moses.
I've told:
just Moses.
I won’t kill you, Miss Scarlet.
I will give you a job.
Should I find a snuffbox?
My father’s snuffbox.
He was brought here from Jamaica on a slave ship.
After the abolition of slavery the owner gave him a snuffbox.
Apparently, he was a fair person.
For the slave owner.
As a child, I saw scars on father’s back
and realized what he had to endure.
He was braver than everyone I knew.
The snuffbox is all that is left of it.
I asked Mr. Ridley hide her in the safe.
Upon learning that he was killed,
I wanted to pick her up
but no one had a key.
And then, yesterday late at night,
someone came and cleaned the safe.
Did you see who it was?
This was the wife of an accountant.
Did Safe tidy up Tabitha Butler?
I lingered - repairing a broken table.
She opened the door and entered.
Her husband, accountant Mr. Ridley, there was a key to the bar and the safe.
Really? It is very strange.
She didn’t see me.
It was dark here when she came here.
She had a green bag in her hand.
Empty when she arrived full when gone.
If it was dark
how did you see the color of the bag?
Anyway,
why did you repair the table in the dark?
Okay!
I didn’t repair a table.
I tried to crack the safe
when I heard the steps.
Hid and watched Mrs. Butler dumps all its contents into a bag.
Including - father’s snuffbox.
I would stop her but even so is not at odds with the law.
Snuffbox is all that I have left from your father, and you will return it to me.
Work against your own client - it is unethical.
Although if you pay me too fee...
Are you alive. That’s all your fee.
I will call the mistress.
So you are a private investigator?
Yes.
Miss Scarlet.
I apologize, that I accept you in the lobby
but I think you understand that i can't be
in this room.
Here is the money I owe you.
We discussed a different advance amount.
This is not an advance.
This is a contract break fee.
I sent a letter yesterday to the address of your bureau.
But I have not been in the office since the moment
how we made a contract.
Your services are no longer needed.
I'm sorry, but I have to go to church.
Annie.
Please see Miss Scarlet.
What about your husband, Mrs. Butler?
Yesterday you wore this coat out of love for him.
Where did such a change come from?
For me, let him burn in hell.
Something got sick to me can i ask for a glass of water?
Bring Miss Scarlet some water. And then spend it.
A lot of water is not needed.
You don’t need water at all, do you?
Reward me for silence - and snoop as much as you like.
MY DEAR SEBASTIAN HOW I DREAM ABOUT YOUR KISS, ABOUT YOUR LIPS,
Fused with mine ...
WITH LOVE, T. B.
Free the cameras, Frank. Drive out all the drunkards
whores and crazy.
I'm the senior detective, Duke! Found someone to entrust!
I walked all morning through the slums of Holborn, door to door
although I have not been a constable for a long time.
They threw a stub of apple at me
and someone put on the crew seat a bag of crap.
Probably a canine, but who knows.
In short, I have this week like no more than you
so free the cameras, okay?
Well, fine.
Wait!
Do not eat at the post, do not disgrace the uniform!
Lord
Eliza, what else do you want?
Deeply pious Mrs. Tabitha Butler -
romance with Sebastian Ridley.
I found her love letters.
So her husband still had a motive.
Killing out of jealousy - and she knows that.
So she broke the contract with me, but why did she imprison him?
Broke the contract? So soon?
And such drastic changes ...
That insists on the husband’s innocence,
he wants to burn in hell. Absurdity of some kind.
The main suspect admitted my guilt.
- That's the whole story. - And how long?
This morning.
And that means one less thing.
on this already extremely tiring week.
That is, Mr. and Mrs. Butler talked in chorus about guilt?
Something is wrong here.
Tabitha Butler cannot be trusted.
She is a liar and a thief.
I found in her house Mr. Ridley’s safe contents.
Just don't say that you got into her house.
She wanted to go to court again?
Oh yes, thank you.
He almost put me in jail.
Magistrate Wilkes is my old friend.
I just wanted to scare you
and did not expect you to be redeemed.
That's it! She bought me
hired to prove the innocence of the spouse,
and then changed her mind. Do you understand?
Obviously something is wrong.
Case is closed.
Moreover:
I'm just going to the morgue,
to issue the issuance of the body Mr. Ridley's native for burial.
Even that I have to do it myself.
“Will you see Mr. Ridley’s body?” - Yes.
And no. You can't.
And yet, please
sign here, here
and here.
Why the hell do you have so many signatures?
Everything should be in triplicate.
And out of respect for the dead, you could not don't swear, inspector?
I am a devout man.
Closer to the body. You are welcome.
This very minute.
The last signature is left.
Here.
I'm used to you know that detectives come here.
It’s very unusual to see here the inspector himself.
And even more unusual that he came with his wife.
With the wife?
I have asked, so she waits for you outside.
Women are not allowed in the morgue.
It’s not worth it, you know.
With the wife?
I asked you wait for my husband at the door, ma'am!
I’m not her husband.
I found something extremely interesting, William.
A cut in the throat of a slain done from left to right.
In my memory to this room a woman has never entered yet!
It turns out that the killer was right-handed.
But Edward Butler, when he woke him up cry of his wife, grabbed the knife with his left hand.
I have no time to listen to your tales.
My task is to confirm
that it is Sebastian Ridley.
It's him. My work is done.
Kindly put a signature.
Here, here and here.
There is no neck wound not a single piece of tissue.
The killer lowered his collar and calmly made a cut.
This is not a surprise attack.
Inspector, I ask you remove your wife from here!
Yes, you go to hell!
And no need to swear!
Anomalies of stab wounds - thing is not uncommon.
The police are aware of this.
And you are not.
Bye.
Madam.
You no longer need to stay here.
“Five minutes, and I'm done.” - It's impossible.
And if so?
You are accused of trying to bribe
civil servant in the city morgue.
You will be fined 60 shillings.
60 ?! Last time was 40.
70! For impudence.
Thanks for talking to the magistrate.
This will not happen again.
I doubt it.
Eliza, I would really like to
so that we can coexist
without endlessly tearing each other's nerves.
So do I.
Father would be upset.
Nice. So, agreed.
You will leave alone case of Sebastian Ridley
and stop stopping me.
- Touch! - What?
This was out of the question!
William!
We haven’t agreed anything!
I know this look.
A mixture of confusion
perplexity and confusion.
In the same way, you looked into a book of problems.
In fact,
I remembered that what you once told me.
I talked a lot but it’s of little use.
You said find on an unidentified body a tattoo -
it's like breaking a bank.
What a horror. It is in my spirit.
You said it allows understand the person’s past.
Like a sign of belonging - for example, to the fleet.
Or is it a silent riot, hidden from others.
Why are my sayings do you remember the details
but learn the task in Latin is such work for you?
I knew, that already somewhere I saw this rose.
At your friend, Dr. Morehouse,
was in the loop exactly the same.
Do you beat a villain with a purse?
Mr. Ridley has in his hand -
blue rose tattoo.
This drawing means something.
Whatever you say
it will remain between us.
This is called the Midnight Rose.
She makes it clear that in front of you -
like-minded person.
In what sense is "like-minded"?
In such a way that he does not like ...
...women.
Opening up to you I take a big risk, Eliza.
You see
such as we are cursed both church and law ...
I'm certainly not religious at all thanks to Mr. Darwin
and fear of the infernal flame - it's not about me,
but the prison term
and shame on my mother's gray hair ...
I cant.
If anyone finds out about it,
it’s not from me.
Thank you.
But Sebastian Ridley had an affair with a woman.
Trust me:
Mr. Ridley was eager for many things
but not to the fair sex.
You knew him.
Every Wednesday
he had a special evening in his salon.
Like a refuge.
Lack of security measures
may end ten years of hard labor.
We were all grateful to him
and saddened by this loss.
This is some kind of nonsense, Eliza.
The one he loved the most his cute Teddy is his killer.
It does not fit in the head.
Teddy?
Edward Butler
His accountant.
Inside, everyone called him Edward,
and only Sebastian called him Teddy.
He was also a regular on Wednesdays.
"T" means "Teddy,"
not Tabitha ...
I'm sorry, what?
Sebastian and Edward were lovers?
I don't believe Edward Butler killed Sebastian Ridley
Do you know anyone who could wish him harm?
Perhaps someone from his circle?
No, I don’t remember.
You should talk to the doorman, who worked in the salon
precisely these days.
Of course, I don’t remember the name
but he comes from Jamaica.
Moses.
Don't be scared, Albert. These are not pharaohs.
Are you with him, or what?
It seems we killed him. We are not on purpose.
Stay here. Make us a company.
I don’t know what you are doing,
but I don’t want to bother you. “We're stealing.”
There’s no need to drink so much for a dead man right?
Yes. Perhaps true.
Do not come!
Choose, beauty. Or you are quiet
or Albert will cut your tongue out.
Take your hands off.
Yes, you are now a natural gentleman!
Witch!
What did you put in there ?!
No!
No no no! Wait!
No no!
This is for you to be witty.
Go away!
And take your friend not get a bullet!
Where are these scum?
I got rid of them.
Have you done with them?
It was easy.
Why are your hands trembling then?
I do not want to talk about them.
Deal with them yourself.
Be quiet
I’ll figure it out.
I'm interested in this.
Opium.
Such volumes are prohibited by law.
Are you a smuggler?
Mr. Ridley's death somehow connected with this?
Opium is not mine.
And a snuffbox too.
Yes, my father was not a slave.
He was an ordinary drunkard. Lived all his life in Jamaica
and died drowning in a pond.
So the snuffbox belonged Sebastian Ridley
did you just decide to pocket it?
The salon will be put up for sale soon.
I have no work, no home, nothing.
Do not expect sympathy from me.
In my life - exactly the same difficulties.
I know you worked as a doorman every Wednesday.
What do you know about him and Edward Butler?
Nothing.
I do not meddle in other people's affairs.
Those two thought they killed you.
And now they would finish what they started.
Are you hinting What do I owe your life?
I know who supplies opium.
He also came here on Wednesdays.
Doctor.
Do you remember his name?
Well, I ...
... leave you alone.
Yes, I was Sebastian’s doctor.
However, I have treated many others.
I know that the limitations more and more about opium
but this time I made an exception. - "This time"?
Sebastian was dying. He had a tumor in his stomach.
- A month or two - that's all. - Clear.
He begged me to stop the pain.
But opium stopped helping.
Sebastian had one foot in the grave.
Who else knew about this?
He wanted only me to know.
So it surprised me so much what the wife of his accountant knew about this.
Tabitha Butler?
It seemed to me that she did not love him.
Are you sure she knew?
On the day of Sebastian's death I visited Mrs. Butler.
You see, I was afraid
what if opium is found then the trace will lead to me.
I found her sobbing in the very room where he was killed.
Of course, I brought her my condolences
but her answer truly surprised me.
With what?
She said supposedly hope that Sebastian was dying painfully
and her husband will soon follow him to hell.
She was so furious that her hands were trembling.
She almost dropped the letter.
So she read the letter?
She left me at five
that day when she said that her husband is innocent.
You saw her in about an hour,
and she already hated him.
Everything changed after this letter.
You didn’t see anything?
Only the name on the envelope
which crumpled lay on the floor.
It was addressed to Teddy.
Teddy?
So only Sebastian called Edward.
You can't be here.
How much can you, Eliza?
Mr. Potts ran to the authorities by urgent call.
- How do you know? - I called him.
Edward Butler did not kill Sebastian Ridley
In just an hour, Mr. Butler,
my main suspect pleading guilty
comes out of the camera and take his last steps
towards the gallows.
Case is closed.
You should get ready what i will say.
Edward Butler and Sebastian Ridley were lovers.
I thought you would be shocked
and even in horror.
It is difficult to shock me with my work. Everything.
Sebastian Ridley was sick.
He was dying.
He killed himself, the nature of the wound
it only confirms.
He wrote to Edward death letter.
Mrs. Butler hid him
she wants her unfaithful but the innocent husband was hanged.
William,
I know that you are tired.
But if they hang today innocent man
it will be on your conscience.
She had already left for Euston.
She has four trains to Liverpool.
She's leaving for America, sir.
Then why is her baggage here?
I will collect the remaining things and I’ll go next.
Here's a check for buying a train ticket, sir.
You must arrest Tabitha Butler, William.
It’s also beneficial for me to protect your reputation.
“To Euston Station, Arthur.” - I'm listening.
This coat was presented to you by your husband.
To always see you in the crowd.
And he will see you.
Seeing that he was not there, I immediately realized why did you put it on.
I understand you crave revenge.
But we both know that he is innocent.
Sebastian Ridley committed suicide.
He left a dying letter.
Where is it, Mrs. Butler?
He betrayed me.
He was confused with a man. This is disgusting.
But is that right - kill the innocent?
Mrs. Butler!
Tabitha!
Please give me a letter!
I ask you to!
Stop the execution!
Edward Butler is innocent I can prove!
MY DEAR TEDDY ...
When Sebastian said he was sick,
he offered to leave
live the rest of his life together.
He was so afraid to die alone.
I refused.
If Tabitha found out I would die of shame.
When I got home in the morning Sebastian was already in my living room.
On the mantelpiece lay his dying letter.
Holding a knife at your throat
he called me a traitor.
And said that he would die next to me I want it or not.
You wanted to stop him but he was stronger?
Sitting in the cell, I thought about his letter.
That it fell to the floor when we fought.
That Tabitha ...
... will certainly discover it.
What irony: that’s the only thing that will save me from the gallows
forever make me an outcast.
And you confessed to the murder.
I wanted to die.
But now you are a free man.
I am grateful for everything you have done Miss Scarlet.
But I can’t be free.
My marriage, my life, reputation ...
Everything collapsed.
If I compliment do you promise me that this will not go around?
I give you my word.
Great job.
Father would be proud of you.
Thanks.
It is very important for me.
Did Mrs. Butler commit a crime?
She opened Mr. Ridley’s safe,
just to pick up love letters.
It’s a theft anyway.
And obstruction of justice.
She hid the letter.
Did you know
that Mrs. Butler is not at the station.
Defender of my reputation.
In London, no one is respected How you.
But I need to strengthen my reputation much more than you.
Say it to my superiors.
You can handle the bosses.
You can handle it all.
I can’t cope with you.
Well, I have to collect both subordinates
and charge them with a corpse in the canal.
And you meanwhile please don't get in trouble.
For me.
Of course, William.
Of course.
Rupert.
“I did not expect you.” - My...
My mother wants to see you. I decided to wait for you.
He hesitated by the front door
so I invited him to tea.
Tell mrs parker that I will come in a minute.
Of course.
- She came for the money. - Yes.
I...
I tried to convince her
but you know, she is a stubborn lady.
Have not noticed.
I do not blame you for the desire
somehow upset her.
She herself was
not too kind to you.
I can hardly somehow upset your mother.
Really?
You see
Eliza, sometimes we can say in hearts it is ...
No. No, Rupert.
Do not worry.
I won’t tell her anything.
I gave you my word.
Right.
You are a true friend. The real one, Eliza.
Well,
I will not force your mother wait too long. For both of us.
Who knows, suddenly she is in good mood and agrees to give a respite.
In no case!
Or I'll get it today rent
either eviction awaits you.
As you wish.
This should be the whole amount.
Did you pay her the whole amount?
And you will get something.
Payday debt and a little on top.
I decided to hire a specialist.
Debt collector, if you like.
Your move, Ethel.
Good afternoon, miss.
May I see your father?
IN THE NEXT SERIES ... Before yelling and banging on the table
can you at least listen? - No.
Flora Montford. I am the treasurer of the committee.
Alice Morgan Mrs.
It’s not easy to be a woman
and someone like you will simply destroy her reputation.
Like me?
Everything can be changed, Alice.
If you make an effort.
I am not what you consider me to be.
Like all of us.
Are you a woman or a detective?
