Miss Scarlet & The Duke (Miss Scarlet)

Did you call the police?

No, only you, like you said.

Keep watch.

Thief!

I'm no thief!

I'm a private detective!

Yeah...

And I'm a High Court judge!

You stole my eye.

I came upon it, was examining what I thought was a crime scene.

Can we not discuss this in a more civilized manner?

I'm gonna make you wish you'd never been bourne.

I will gladly return your eye.

I wanted dead, not drunk.

Next time, check for a pulse first.

Ah, Mrs. Parker, Mr. Parker.

I was not expecting your delightful company.

We came to see your father,

but found neither he nor you at home.

Is it something I could help with?

It is a question Rupert wishes to ask your father.

In private.

My father's working.

You appear rather ruffled, Miss Scarlet.

Are you quite well?

Uh, very, thank you, Mrs. Parker.

It's, um, due to nothing more than a...

brisk morning walk.

The streets of London are not what they once were.

If a lady must walk, she should be in the company

of a gentleman to protect her.

Ah.

More tea?

Uh, I, I would not want

to put you to any more trouble, Miss Scarlet.

Speak up, Rupert!

And enunciate!

I would not want...

I will take more tea.

Rupert will not.

Very well.

Thank you.

The city has changed since I was a girl.

The crime, the filth,

a general miasma of loose morality.

And those contraptions, what are they called?

Is, is it bicycles, mother?

I see young ladies riding those things,

brazen as you like.

Oh, I agree.

A lady should always act like a lady.

Milk and sugar?

Well, thank you for your visit.

It has been most enjoyable.

We will call again on Tuesday.

Please ensure your father is present.

Rupert is extremely keen to speak with him,

and then, of course, to you.

I will do what I can, Mrs. Parker, but my...

My father is a very busy man.

Chasing criminals is no job for a gentleman.

It should be left to the police.

Ivy, could you see Mrs. Parker and her son out, please?

Of course.

Come along, Rupert!

Thank you for your time.

Why do you do these things?

Please, please, do not tell Father.

Ivy, if I can show him my skill

and ability...

He will never allow you to work with him.

Now, stay still.

You took your time, girl!

And where's the pork?!

That miser Mr. Meekins refused to sell any to me.

Said our account is overdue.

Said no more deliveries till we settle it.

Shouted at me in front of the whole store.

That cannot be right.

The coalman and the baker need paying, too.

Guten Morgen,

Fr äulein Scarlet!

Good morning, Herr Hildegard.

Have you, um, have you seen my father?

Not for a few days.

But then I have been rushed off my feet.

People have been dropping like flies this week.

Sad, of course, but very good for business.

I, I am so sorry

for your loss.

Please, follow me.

Father?

Yeah?

Duke, Miss Scarlet is here.

Tell her I'm in a meeting.

She said you'd say that.

Which is why she insisted on waiting outside your door.

I think she heard this exchange.

She did hear this exchange.

William.

Eliza.

To what do I... owe this pleasure?

It's my father.

He didn't come home last night.

Henry is a grown man

and I'm sure working one of his cases, so...

If you'll excuse me, I must get back to ensuring

the streets of London

are safe for ladies such as yourself.

Wherever Henry is,

he's perfectly capable of looking after himself.

Let's not forget that he is a highly trained police officer.

A retired police officer

who is meant to be running his own business,

not drinking away the profits.

Ah, so this is more about money

rather than daughterly love.

My household is reliant on my father.

But we both know that's something

that you're working on.

I know of your little hobby, paying street boys

for tip-offs of crime scenes.

Being a detective is a job for a man, Eliza.

And yet you do it every day, William.

Hm, well, nice as this is,

I have many cases to attend to, so...

Yes, I can see how busy you are.

You still have soap on your neck.

An arson attack on the city's largest opium den,

six schoolgirls smuggled to the Continent

for brothel fodder,

and a dead man floating in Regent's Park canal

with his throat slit ear-to-ear.

I've seen neater cuts from a one-armed butcher.

A lady should not see such things.

And with his pocket watch still on his person,

it's clearly not the work of a common thief.Oh.

I would say it's a crime of passion by a scorned woman.

Since the rash on the soles of his feet

suggest latter stage of syphilis.

Mm.His mistress, perhaps.

But more likely his wife.

Mm!

Of course, I'm sure you've already considered this.

Of course I have.

Good day, William.

Frank!

Bring in the wife for questioning.

Mr. Scarlet is in the drawing room.

What's happened?

Father...

Oh, Lizzy, uh...

This is Dr. Edwards.

He found Mr. Scarlet collapsed on the street

and brought him home.

Thank you, Doctor.

My father's been drinking excessively of late.

Fetch some strong coffee.

He's not drunk.

He's had a cardiac arrest.

I am sorry to say he has passed.

Though I walk through the valley

of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil,

for You are with me.

Your rod and Your staff,

they comfort me, and mercy shall follow me

all the days of my life,

and I shall dwell

in the house of the Lord forever.

Eliza...

Your father wasn't just my mentor,

he was my dear friend.

And over the years, we talked sometimes

about him losing your mother.

He hoped that time would give him some distance

from her memory, but...

I think that the opposite was true.

The older he got, the more he missed her.

What I'm, what I'm trying to say is,

it might help you to think of them as reunited.

I miss her as much as he did.

And now he's left me completely alone.

There is a man here asking for your father.

I didn't know what to say.

Send him in.

This way, please, sir.

Good afternoon, Mr...

Winters.

Alfred Winters.

I believe you wished to see my, my father.

I'm afraid to say that...

Do not tell me he is not here, either?

I waited a full hour outside of his office,

but he did not turn up for our appointment!

Well, it is no matter.

I am sure there are many private detectives in this city

who would like to take my money.

Good day, Miss Scarlet.

My father is working
