Murdoch Mysteries

Look at the craftsmanship on that horse, Crabtree.

In time, that will become a treasured heirloom.

Sir, what does a child care about an heirloom?

That toy car -- That's the thing.

Don't be daft. What if it's a girl?

Sir, girls enjoy cars just as much as boys, I believe.

I'm sure a girl would enjoy a car as much as a boy.

Although for a baby, perhaps a teddy bear.

Well, that's that surprise ruined.

I've always wanted one of those spinning tops.

We'll make a note to get you one for your own kid

when the time comes.

In fact, Crabtree, do yourself a favor

and marry that pretty dancer of yours.

Then stick her up the duff.

- - Sir.

Nina is a-a free spirit.

I hesitate to push her into something that...

well, that essentially would be a lifelong commitment.

I mean, even more so than marriage, if you think about it.

Take the bull by the horns, Crabtree.

Tell her it's your way or no way.

I'm not sure that's a good idea, sir.

Well, it might be unwise to force a decision, sir,

but I would like to have a family of my own at some point.

It's been weighing on me more lately,

perhaps because of your happy news, sir.

Well, George, everything has a way of working itself out.

All right, then. Enough loitering.

We have work to do.

Kids.

Would you like to have a closer look?

All right.

I think he'll make a good father, sir.

That's a very big horse, yes?

[ Gasping 1

Good Lord.

Dr. Ogden?

Dr. Ogden, are you awake?

- - Doctor? What happened?

Felt a bit dizzy, did we?

Yes.

Yes. I-l hope that's all it was.

Oh, George.

George, go and get William. Please.

Crabtree, meet us at the hospital, sharpish.

- Right. - And no arguments from you.

No. No. You're right.

Put your arm around me.

We have to go right away.

There's something wrong with the baby.

Hang in there, Doctor.

At what period of development, Nurse?

It's the fourth month.

It's maternal causes.

- It could be uterine scarring. Fourteen weeks.

Any outward signs of trauma?

No. It has to be internal.

Everything else has been healthy.

Has there been any interference?

No!

Where's William?

Is that your husband, dear? I understand he's on his way.

There's no need for her husband to see this.

Where is she? - She's all right.

Why is she here if she's all right?

The doctor's with her.

Quickly. Let's contain that bleeding.

It-- It's best if you wait.

Sir, let the doctors take...

I don't want dilation.

- Sedate her. - Julia.

There still could be a chance...

- Julia. - William.

It's going to be all right.

I'm so sorry. I'm so...

- I'd advise you to step out. - Let the doctor do his work.

Margaret had a scare just like this one

when she was expecting John.

Yes?

Yeah.

She was on bed rest for a couple of months.

Not that she enjoyed that.

But everything turned out just fine.

Yes. Perhaps you're right.

Perhaps that's all it is.

Doctor.

Your wife is fine,

but I'm sorry to tell you the baby didn't survive.

Oh, God.

Leave him alone, Crabtree.

Least said, soonest mended.

Thank you.

I've brought you a glass of water.

I can fix you a cup of tea if you like.

No, thank you.

Glass of sherry?

No.

I just want to sleep.

Of course.

Stay put. I'll be right back.

Just a moment.

Detective Murdoch.

Thank God you're here.

Nate, this isn't really a good time.

L-I need your help.

What is it? What's happened?

I got into a-a fight earlier today.

A fight? In Chatham or -- or here?

Julia.

What's wrong, Nate?

Where's Rebecca?

- Is something wrong? - She's fine.

B-But Rebecca can't know about this, at least not until...

Nate, please.

I came to town to take care of a-a problem.

Can I trust your discretion?

I don't want Rebecca worried.

Until I know what's going on, Nate,

I can make no such promise.

McWORTHY: Toronto Constabulary. Open the door.

They're after me.

Detective Murdoch, this man has escaped custody.

We're here to carry out an arrest.

On what grounds?

This matter is not in your jurisdiction.

At the moment, it's in my home.

Just a moment here. Wait!

- - Julia!

- McWORTHY: What the... - He pushed my wife!

We are apprehending a suspect!

Please stop!

I'll go quietly.

What are the charges?

Detective, I promise you --

Doctor, I-l didn't do it. Please remember that.

What are the charges?

Your friend killed a man, Detective.

The charge is murder.

So McWorthy has been promoted to inspector.

Payback for doing Davis' dirty work, I'd imagine.

No experience. Just handed the job.

Perhaps Station House Number One has improved

since Davis was brought to justice.

You can't clean up a station house that fast, Murdoch.

I wouldn't trust that lot as far as I could throw them.

Sloppy and corrupt.

I'll assign Watts to look into it.

Actually, I'll be taking the lead on this, Inspector.

Don't be foolish.

Look, even I had a week off without pay

when Margaret was on bed rest.

You should be at home with the good doctor.

I thought that would be for the best also,

but Julia has other ideas.

Dr. Ogden. I was told you weren't coming in today.

Well, you were misinformed.

I'm very sorry.

Thank you, Miss Hart.

I can't find my dissecting forceps.

Is it possible you've misplaced them?

I don't believe so.

You would have used them yesterday

when you were working on Mr. Smith.

I believe I'm ready to handle a postmortem, Doctor.

If I have any difficulties, I shall consult with you.

No, thank you. if I need your help, I will ask for it.

Dr. Ogden.

I thought perhaps you would have recused yourself from this case,

given your interest in it.

Your implication is offensive, Inspector McWorthy.

Dr. Ogden would never let her personal feelings --

Fine.

Let's see if your observations match up

to what I already know of the murder.

Mr. Charlie Lewis, a victim of a beating

around the head and the neck with a foreign object.

So far, so good.

Based on the shape of the injuries

and the residue left by the weapon,

I believe you are looking for a fireplace poker.

Well.

There was a poker found near the body.

Yes, I'm sure.

The victim also has a contusion on the left jaw,

but this injury was not inflicted by the poker.

We know Lewis was in a fight the afternoon before he was killed.

Multiple witnesses saw him hit in the face...

by your Nate Desmond.

It seems as though Inspector McWorthy decided

that Nate was guilty because of this fight hours earlier.

Well, I would certainly want to take a look at him.

Mr. Desmond was quite clear in protesting his innocence.

Don't they all?

But I do believe that Nate Desmond is a good chap.

“A man was arrested following the word of witnesses

who saw him near the scene of the crime

at the time in question.“

Near the scene?

Presumably the investigation is in the early stages as yet.
