0:00:02.224,0:00:05.457
I met Charles 19 years ago in Edinburgh.

0:00:06.759,0:00:10.558
He was a petty criminal, a purse snatcher,

0:00:10.558,0:00:15.242
a low-key boss in his neighborhood,[br]and already in the sights of the law.

0:00:16.042,0:00:18.209
And I was young.

0:00:19.176,0:00:23.027
And oh, how reckless bad boys were attractive then.

0:00:24.544,0:00:27.026
We got married a couple of months later

0:00:27.026,0:00:30.062
while travelling to my hometown in Paris.

0:00:31.027,0:00:33.962
It wasn't so much a romantic journey,

0:00:33.962,0:00:38.030
but rather a way to leave waters[br]he couldn't navigate anymore.

0:00:39.313,0:00:41.264
We travelled and lived here and there

0:00:41.264,0:00:44.547
before finally settling in this ordinary city.

0:00:45.513,0:00:47.949
We lived peacefully for a while,

0:00:47.949,0:00:53.165
but how Charles put money on the table,[br]I never really knew,

0:00:53.165,0:00:56.867
and asking questions wasn't an option.

0:00:57.416,0:01:00.616
The more mysterious, the better, [br]I used to think.

0:01:01.082,0:01:04.132
"The truth ain't funny", my father said,

0:01:04.132,0:01:07.283
"otherwise we'd spend our time saying it".

0:01:07.983,0:01:11.001
A few years after our marriage, he disappeared.

0:01:11.685,0:01:13.384
Just like that.

0:01:14.102,0:01:18.369
No word, no letter, no phone call.

0:01:18.586,0:01:21.870
The only trace left of him [br]was a bunch of false papers

0:01:21.870,0:01:23.754
and a couple of bullets.

0:01:24.554,0:01:28.254
Did he end up in a random lake[br]wearing concrete shoes?

0:01:28.988,0:01:32.939
Did he leave for a pair of long legs[br]and a pretty face?

0:01:33.438,0:01:35.138
I never knew.

0:01:35.356,0:01:38.806
"Great lovers only make bad husbands"[br]my mother said...

0:01:40.723,0:01:43.854
Time passed on, and five years ago,

0:01:44.557,0:01:46.041
I finally received it.

0:01:46.973,0:01:48.541
The phone call.

0:01:48.841,0:01:53.092
Charles Higgins had just died[br]in a criminal gunfight.

0:01:53.477,0:01:56.977
The final word in an unanswered riddle.

0:01:57.243,0:02:01.577
I eventually accepted to become[br]the widow of a shadow and moved on.

0:02:01.577,0:02:05.427
And turned into everything he had always hated,

0:02:05.427,0:02:07.878
everything he spent his life avoiding:

0:02:08.545,0:02:11.611
a snooper, a muckraker.

0:02:11.611,0:02:14.396
Someone who asks questions.

0:02:15.096,0:02:17.947
Five unsolved murders seemed enough

0:02:17.947,0:02:20.247
to make his ghost come back.

0:02:20.780,0:02:22.164
And what a ghost.

0:02:23.146,0:02:27.748
The purse snatcher had turned into[br]a much sinister beast.

0:02:28.848,0:02:32.466
How deep did he dig himself into the underworld?

0:02:33.249,0:02:36.700
Was his death announcement just a mistake?

0:02:36.700,0:02:40.001
A lie? A smokescreen?

0:02:40.434,0:02:43.268
I thought I had turned over a new leaf,

0:02:43.268,0:02:46.252
but the end of the story seemed yet to unfold.

0:02:47.152,0:02:50.936
And here I am, hanging on by a thread,

0:02:50.936,0:02:53.751
waiting for a sign, a clue,

0:02:53.751,0:02:57.186
anything that would stop me looking [br]over my shoulder

0:02:57.186,0:02:59.553
at every street corner.

0:03:16.288,0:03:18.858
(unintelligible whispers)

0:04:06.203,0:04:09.489
Mrs Higgins, I've brought you some supplies as you asked,

0:04:09.489,0:04:11.289
I'll put them on the desk.

0:04:11.289,0:04:14.122
There was only one bottle of whiskey left though.

0:04:14.122,0:04:16.025
Thank you Nellie.

0:04:28.722,0:04:29.988
Blanche Higgins.

0:04:29.988,0:04:32.773
Hi Blanche, Jacob here.

0:04:33.289,0:04:34.756
Anything new?

0:04:35.090,0:04:41.474
I think so. We've sent Charles Higgins' description[br]to every police station of the state.

0:04:41.691,0:04:45.557
And we have good reasons to believe [br]he was spotted a few times,

0:04:45.557,0:04:49.376
in the company of unsavoury individuals.

0:04:49.376,0:04:52.496
He's still alive, but he's not alone.

0:04:53.253,0:04:55.597
I hope that it's not too hard to hear.

0:04:56.065,0:05:00.065
At this stage, I can't say I'm surprised, honestly.

0:05:00.883,0:05:01.987
Anything else?

0:05:01.987,0:05:07.036
Maybe. This whole situation is now[br]being taken up in higher circles.

0:05:07.630,0:05:10.982
Some shady politicians are starting

0:05:10.982,0:05:13.782
to fear for their little businesses.

0:05:13.782,0:05:14.931
Or their lives.

0:05:14.931,0:05:16.116
Are they?

0:05:16.416,0:05:19.983
This whole thing appears to be[br]even more unclear than I thought.

0:05:20.416,0:05:23.249
Some people are settling scores here.

0:05:23.616,0:05:26.284
And I guess I'm now a potential suspect

0:05:26.284,0:05:28.800
since my former husband is involved.

0:05:28.800,0:05:30.967
Don't worry too much about this.

0:05:32.052,0:05:34.785
But next time you're choosing your husband,

0:05:34.785,0:05:36.419
take a minute to consider.

0:05:36.786,0:05:39.086
Why did you even marry this guy in the first place?

0:05:39.086,0:05:41.819
Oh come on Jacob, [br]have you never been young?

0:05:41.819,0:05:45.353
Or should I remind you the foolish things[br]you did when you were 20?

0:05:45.670,0:05:48.570
That won't be necessary, thank you very much.

0:05:49.370,0:05:52.204
But let's get back to what we have right now.

0:05:52.204,0:05:54.771
Somebody has actually witnessed the latest crime.

0:05:54.771,0:05:57.521
Judge Hodson's murder.

0:05:57.521,0:06:01.438
I'd thought you'd want to be the first [br]to get a complete interview.

0:06:01.716,0:06:03.593
Well, how thoughtful of you.

0:06:03.938,0:06:06.070
Although you will clearly take advantage

0:06:06.070,0:06:08.772
of a full report of this interview if I'm right?

0:06:09.539,0:06:12.889
That would be appreciated, Blanche, [br]thank you.

0:06:14.089,0:06:17.256
I guess I owe you a drink now,

0:06:17.256,0:06:18.224
don't I?

0:06:18.971,0:06:23.155
The only thing you owe me right now, Jacob,[br]is your trust.

0:06:24.054,0:06:25.121
Fair.

0:06:25.538,0:06:28.939
And in any case, you always know where to find me.

0:06:29.454,0:06:32.588
Il'l have the witness sent under escort right away.

0:06:32.588,0:06:34.885
Good luck. Be careful.

0:06:34.885,0:06:36.415
Goodbye.

0:07:41.665,0:07:44.327
Mrs Higgins, there's someone here for you.

0:07:45.022,0:07:47.737
Thank you Nellie, please leave us alone.

0:07:53.794,0:07:57.128
Take a seat, make yourself at ease.

0:08:00.595,0:08:02.644
Would you like a drink?

0:09:41.601,0:09:43.111
So...

0:09:45.503,0:09:47.420
I believe you're not comfortable

0:09:47.420,0:09:49.270
with what you witnessed.

0:09:50.236,0:09:52.687
Wrong place, wrong time, eh?

0:09:56.348,0:10:00.466
I'm tempted to ask why you took so long to show up,

0:10:00.466,0:10:02.916
but I guess you have your reasons.

0:10:06.420,0:10:09.854
Are you okay to answer a few questions for me?

0:10:10.805,0:10:15.420
Nothing formal, just casual talking[br]and a few notes,

0:10:15.420,0:10:17.672
so you can relax.

0:10:20.888,0:10:23.389
Let's start from the beginning, shall we?

0:10:24.223,0:10:25.973
What's your first name?

0:10:33.657,0:10:35.190
Last name?

0:10:37.190,0:10:39.080
Interesting.

0:10:39.605,0:10:41.890
Where does this come from?

0:10:59.575,0:11:01.643
What's your address?

0:11:29.497,0:11:31.316
Date of birth?

0:11:34.815,0:11:36.248
Come on...

0:11:47.999,0:11:50.669
Married? Children?

0:12:07.638,0:12:09.771
Where do you work?

0:12:18.690,0:12:20.190
Where is that?

0:13:22.116,0:13:24.699
How long have you been working there?

0:13:37.284,0:13:40.969
Do you usually go to and from work[br]with other people?

0:13:44.886,0:13:47.853
Directly to home?[br]No detour?

0:14:09.265,0:14:12.950
Let's sum things up, at least [br]the straights facts I have.

0:14:14.117,0:14:20.501
On February 4th your left your work[br]at, what, 7pm?

0:14:21.568,0:14:25.584
And you entered Fairfield street [br]to go back directly to home?

0:14:25.835,0:14:29.119
That's when you heard the gunshot[br]and saw Hodson on the floor

0:14:29.119,0:14:34.071
and another man running [br]towards Crestwood lane, that's it?

0:14:39.088,0:14:42.156
Would you remember what this man[br]looked like?

0:14:47.623,0:14:50.256
Would a paper and a pencil help?

0:14:54.789,0:14:56.257
You can sketch whatever shape

0:14:56.257,0:14:58.425
or face feature you remember.

0:15:46.699,0:15:48.714
What about the hair?

0:16:02.868,0:16:05.251
Can you add details here?

0:16:17.186,0:16:18.953
Can you add brows?

0:16:45.474,0:16:46.892
Let me see.

0:16:56.226,0:16:58.210
Yes I know, it's never easy.

0:17:00.460,0:17:02.078
Let me help.

0:17:12.097,0:17:13.964
Was it this man?

0:17:17.381,0:17:19.481
Just add a few years.

0:17:26.990,0:17:29.409
Do you usually wear glasses?

0:17:33.200,0:17:39.051
Listen, the police are trying to gather[br]everything they can to understand

0:17:39.051,0:17:42.384
the criminal's scheme and avoid a new murder.

0:17:42.819,0:17:45.686
No one knows which bigwig will be the next target

0:17:45.686,0:17:50.103
and every VIP of this city is loosing their minds.

0:18:10.506,0:18:12.423
Five victims.

0:18:15.973,0:18:17.690
A notary,

0:18:18.742,0:18:21.009
two industrialists,

0:18:23.326,0:18:26.440
a town council member and...

0:18:30.070,0:18:31.545
a judge.

0:18:34.510,0:18:38.561
Some of these were total pigs[br]and won't be missed.

0:18:39.077,0:18:41.895
But a couple of them were actually good men.

0:18:41.895,0:18:44.529
And Judge Hodson was one of them.

0:18:45.562,0:18:49.112
Whatever you saw or heard [br]could be of crucial importance,

0:18:49.112,0:18:50.779
look at me.

0:19:00.397,0:19:02.649
You didn't come here with your hands

0:19:02.649,0:19:05.232
in your pockets, did you?

0:19:07.450,0:19:09.616
Show me.

0:19:12.000,0:19:13.300
A letter?

0:19:15.523,0:19:17.373
Blackmail, eh?

0:19:19.440,0:19:22.572
So they know you were there after all.

0:19:23.374,0:19:25.841
Has Jacob already seen this?

0:19:28.426,0:19:30.308
Alright, let me see.

0:19:35.359,0:19:39.643
I suppose you have already run[br]your fingers all over it.

0:19:50.559,0:19:52.979
How and when did you get it?

0:20:47.119,0:20:52.070
"Keep your mouth shut[br]or end up like the old slug"

0:21:08.568,0:21:10.886
Well, straight to the point.

0:21:13.919,0:21:16.287
I wouldn't have exactly called Hodson

0:21:16.287,0:21:17.386
an old slug,

0:21:17.386,0:21:21.170
but we can appreciate this is striking enough.

0:21:37.572,0:21:40.956
Don't worry, Jacob and his team[br]will protect you.

0:22:03.210,0:22:06.310
Anything else you'd like to tell me?

0:22:10.177,0:22:11.961
You're free to go then.

0:22:12.728,0:22:15.396
I will keep this if you don't mind.

0:22:17.463,0:22:19.512
Your escort is waiting outside,

0:22:19.512,0:22:22.163
I'll walk you to the door.

0:22:26.014,0:22:27.630
Nellie, our guest is leaving.

0:22:27.630,0:22:29.648
Of course, this way please.

0:22:33.282,0:22:36.253
Oh Mrs Higgins, the evening news has arrived.

0:22:36.253,0:22:37.399
Thank you.

0:23:22.749,0:23:26.283
"Some shady politicians are starting

0:23:26.283,0:23:28.566
to fear for their little businesses.

0:23:29.766,0:23:31.616
Or their lives".

0:23:49.720,0:23:52.303
This wasn't referring to the latest victim.

0:23:53.503,0:23:55.554
It is the next one.

0:24:13.557,0:24:16.877
(unintelligible whispers)

0:24:58.870,0:25:01.253
Norman J. Slugg, here.

0:25:10.933,0:25:14.082
Suspected of having his own arms trafficking ring.

0:25:14.082,0:25:16.430
And numerous death threats have been made

0:25:16.430,0:25:19.134
by local mob against him.

0:25:26.165,0:25:28.799
Mrs Higgins, a letter for you.

0:25:30.182,0:25:32.149
A letter? At this time?

0:25:33.399,0:25:35.234
Who brought it? When?

0:25:35.234,0:25:37.584
I don't know, he refused to give his name.

0:25:37.584,0:25:40.018
But he seemed quite charming if I may say.

0:25:40.018,0:25:41.951
He left a few minutes ago.

0:26:08.246,0:26:10.363
Blanche,

0:26:10.363,0:26:13.581
I won't sign this letter because there's no need to.

0:26:15.247,0:26:18.163
I know you knew even before [br]you opened the envelope.

0:26:18.863,0:26:23.799
A single sheet of paper may seem [br]insignificant after years of silence.

0:26:23.799,0:26:27.466
And that still might not be enough to tell you all.

0:26:27.466,0:26:28.916
But...

0:26:30.090,0:26:32.585
I went too far, Blanche.

0:26:33.209,0:26:36.476
Got hooked in by the worst people[br]you could imagine.

0:26:36.476,0:26:40.295
They promised me wealth, they promised power,

0:26:40.295,0:26:42.527
they promised me everything.

0:26:44.779,0:26:46.296
I really thought it wouldn't last,

0:26:46.296,0:26:48.562
I thought I would quickly get enough.

0:26:48.862,0:26:50.663
But it was never enough.

0:26:50.663,0:26:54.346
It was a never-ending cycle [br]of greediness and destruction

0:26:54.346,0:26:56.514
from which I couldn't run away.

0:26:57.714,0:27:01.565
I tried, though. I swear I tried...

0:27:02.382,0:27:04.115
5 years ago.

0:27:04.482,0:27:06.816
But... I didn't make it.

0:27:08.067,0:27:11.217
And everything became [br]a lot harder after that.

0:27:11.650,0:27:15.200
I had to assume my role as a pawn [br]once again.

0:27:16.381,0:27:20.088
But today, finally, I'm breaking the cycle.

0:27:20.088,0:27:23.871
As I write this, I'm preparing for my escape,

0:27:24.031,0:27:26.797
knowing that my time is running out.

0:27:27.430,0:27:31.266
I'm not sure I can call this redemption but...

0:27:31.266,0:27:34.011
In the envelope, you'll find a list of [br]all the people

0:27:34.011,0:27:35.771
involved in the recent murders

0:27:35.771,0:27:37.396
and where to find them.

0:27:37.911,0:27:40.860
Schemers, right-hand men, underlings...

0:27:41.378,0:27:44.145
Along with the location of a locker[br]at the train station.

0:27:44.635,0:27:46.833
It's where I put all the pieces of evidence

0:27:46.833,0:27:49.416
I've been gathering these last years.

0:27:49.668,0:27:52.085
I know you and your friend Caine [br]will handle this just right,

0:27:52.085,0:27:54.518
but the choice is up to you.

0:27:55.952,0:27:58.036
No need to rush though.

0:27:58.036,0:28:01.586
As you read this, the crooked senator[br]has already kicked the bucket.

0:28:02.352,0:28:05.437
And rest assured, your witness will be safe.

0:28:07.002,0:28:10.071
As for me, life here is over.

0:28:10.737,0:28:12.770
I'm setting sails for another.

0:28:13.755,0:28:17.938
Another country, far from here.

0:28:19.655,0:28:21.406
Try to forgive me if you can.

0:28:22.555,0:28:24.424
And find happiness in this world.

0:28:26.274,0:28:27.507
If you can.

0:28:35.158,0:28:37.676
7 days later...

0:28:52.845,0:28:56.128
...In the most surprising districts of the city.

0:28:56.128,0:28:59.362
Although one of the suspects [br]is still missing and presumed dead,

0:28:59.362,0:29:01.012
the police have now locked up

0:29:01.012,0:29:03.736
every criminal involved in the [br]recent macabre events,

0:29:03.736,0:29:06.206
thanks to inspector Jacob Caine's work.

0:29:06.416,0:29:11.083
While his investigations methods[br]are still unclear and controversial,

0:29:11.083,0:29:13.144
he certainly succeeds where others fail.

0:29:13.460,0:29:17.310
I for one believe we shouldn't put[br]too much scrutiny into Caine's methods.

0:29:17.310,0:29:20.510
If anything, we only owe him[br]only our greatest thanks.

0:29:20.510,0:29:23.535
The ends almost always [br]justify the means.

0:29:23.535,0:29:25.648
And I can tell you, ladies & gentlemen,

0:29:25.648,0:29:29.232
we can now enjoy the night life[br]of our good old city without fear,

0:29:29.232,0:29:32.150
and sleep soundly, and safe, [br]and snug in our beds,

0:29:32.150,0:29:34.316
all thanks to this gentleman,

0:29:34.316,0:29:35.900
bless you Jacob Caine.

0:30:01.933,0:30:03.451
Inspector Caine speaking.

0:30:03.700,0:30:05.317
Hey Jacob.

0:30:05.317,0:30:06.734
What about this drink?

0:30:07.368,0:30:09.885
(soft laughter)
