1
00:00:02,224 --> 00:00:05,457
I met Charles 19 years ago in Edinburgh.

2
00:00:06,759 --> 00:00:10,558
He was a petty criminal, a purse snatcher,

3
00:00:10,558 --> 00:00:15,242
a low-key boss in his neighborhood,
and already in the sights of the law.

4
00:00:16,042 --> 00:00:18,209
And I was young.

5
00:00:19,176 --> 00:00:23,027
And oh, how reckless bad boys were attractive then.

6
00:00:24,544 --> 00:00:27,026
We got married a couple of months later

7
00:00:27,026 --> 00:00:30,062
while travelling to my hometown in Paris.

8
00:00:31,027 --> 00:00:33,962
It wasn't so much a romantic journey,

9
00:00:33,962 --> 00:00:38,030
but rather a way to leave waters
he couldn't navigate anymore.

10
00:00:39,313 --> 00:00:41,264
We travelled and lived here and there

11
00:00:41,264 --> 00:00:44,547
before finally settling in this ordinary city.

12
00:00:45,513 --> 00:00:47,949
We lived peacefully for a while,

13
00:00:47,949 --> 00:00:53,165
but how Charles put money on the table,
I never really knew,

14
00:00:53,165 --> 00:00:56,867
and asking questions wasn't an option.

15
00:00:57,416 --> 00:01:00,616
The more mysterious, the better, 
I used to think.

16
00:01:01,082 --> 00:01:04,132
"The truth ain't funny", my father said,

17
00:01:04,132 --> 00:01:07,283
"otherwise we'd spend our time saying it".

18
00:01:07,983 --> 00:01:11,001
A few years after our marriage, he disappeared.

19
00:01:11,685 --> 00:01:13,384
Just like that.

20
00:01:14,102 --> 00:01:18,369
No word, no letter, no phone call.

21
00:01:18,586 --> 00:01:21,870
The only trace left of him 
was a bunch of false papers

22
00:01:21,870 --> 00:01:23,754
and a couple of bullets.

23
00:01:24,554 --> 00:01:28,254
Did he end up in a random lake
wearing concrete shoes?

24
00:01:28,988 --> 00:01:32,939
Did he leave for a pair of long legs
and a pretty face?

25
00:01:33,438 --> 00:01:35,138
I never knew.

26
00:01:35,356 --> 00:01:38,806
"Great lovers only make bad husbands"
my mother said...

27
00:01:40,723 --> 00:01:43,854
Time passed on, and five years ago,

28
00:01:44,557 --> 00:01:46,041
I finally received it.

29
00:01:46,973 --> 00:01:48,541
The phone call.

30
00:01:48,841 --> 00:01:53,092
Charles Higgins had just died
in a criminal gunfight.

31
00:01:53,477 --> 00:01:56,977
The final word in an unanswered riddle.

32
00:01:57,243 --> 00:02:01,577
I eventually accepted to become
the widow of a shadow and moved on.

33
00:02:01,577 --> 00:02:05,427
And turned into everything he had always hated,

34
00:02:05,427 --> 00:02:07,878
everything he spent his life avoiding:

35
00:02:08,545 --> 00:02:11,611
a snooper, a muckraker.

36
00:02:11,611 --> 00:02:14,396
Someone who asks questions.

37
00:02:15,096 --> 00:02:17,947
Five unsolved murders seemed enough

38
00:02:17,947 --> 00:02:20,247
to make his ghost come back.

39
00:02:20,780 --> 00:02:22,164
And what a ghost.

40
00:02:23,146 --> 00:02:27,748
The purse snatcher had turned into
a much sinister beast.

41
00:02:28,848 --> 00:02:32,466
How deep did he dig himself into the underworld?

42
00:02:33,249 --> 00:02:36,700
Was his death announcement just a mistake?

43
00:02:36,700 --> 00:02:40,001
A lie? A smokescreen?

44
00:02:40,434 --> 00:02:43,268
I thought I had turned over a new leaf,

45
00:02:43,268 --> 00:02:46,252
but the end of the story seemed yet to unfold.

46
00:02:47,152 --> 00:02:50,936
And here I am, hanging on by a thread,

47
00:02:50,936 --> 00:02:53,751
waiting for a sign, a clue,

48
00:02:53,751 --> 00:02:57,186
anything that would stop me looking 
over my shoulder

49
00:02:57,186 --> 00:02:59,553
at every street corner.

50
00:03:16,288 --> 00:03:18,858
(unintelligible whispers)

51
00:04:06,203 --> 00:04:09,489
Mrs Higgins, I've brought you some supplies as you asked,

52
00:04:09,489 --> 00:04:11,289
I'll put them on the desk.

53
00:04:11,289 --> 00:04:14,122
There was only one bottle of whiskey left though.

54
00:04:14,122 --> 00:04:16,025
Thank you Nellie.

55
00:04:28,722 --> 00:04:29,988
Blanche Higgins.

56
00:04:29,988 --> 00:04:32,773
Hi Blanche, Jacob here.

57
00:04:33,289 --> 00:04:34,756
Anything new?

58
00:04:35,090 --> 00:04:41,474
I think so. We've sent Charles Higgins' description
to every police station of the state.

59
00:04:41,691 --> 00:04:45,557
And we have good reasons to believe 
he was spotted a few times,

60
00:04:45,557 --> 00:04:49,376
in the company of unsavoury individuals.

61
00:04:49,376 --> 00:04:52,496
He's still alive, but he's not alone.

62
00:04:53,253 --> 00:04:55,597
I hope that it's not too hard to hear.

63
00:04:56,065 --> 00:05:00,065
At this stage, I can't say I'm surprised, honestly.

64
00:05:00,883 --> 00:05:01,987
Anything else?

65
00:05:01,987 --> 00:05:07,036
Maybe. This whole situation is now
being taken up in higher circles.

66
00:05:07,630 --> 00:05:10,982
Some shady politicians are starting

67
00:05:10,982 --> 00:05:13,782
to fear for their little businesses.

68
00:05:13,782 --> 00:05:14,931
Or their lives.

69
00:05:14,931 --> 00:05:16,116
Are they?

70
00:05:16,416 --> 00:05:19,983
This whole thing appears to be
even more unclear than I thought.

71
00:05:20,416 --> 00:05:23,249
Some people are settling scores here.

72
00:05:23,616 --> 00:05:26,284
And I guess I'm now a potential suspect

73
00:05:26,284 --> 00:05:28,800
since my former husband is involved.

74
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,967
Don't worry too much about this.

75
00:05:32,052 --> 00:05:34,785
But next time you're choosing your husband,

76
00:05:34,785 --> 00:05:36,419
take a minute to consider.

77
00:05:36,786 --> 00:05:39,086
Why did you even marry this guy in the first place?

78
00:05:39,086 --> 00:05:41,819
Oh come on Jacob, 
have you never been young?

79
00:05:41,819 --> 00:05:45,353
Or should I remind you the foolish things
you did when you were 20?

80
00:05:45,670 --> 00:05:48,570
That won't be necessary, thank you very much.

81
00:05:49,370 --> 00:05:52,204
But let's get back to what we have right now.

82
00:05:52,204 --> 00:05:54,771
Somebody has actually witnessed the latest crime.

83
00:05:54,771 --> 00:05:57,521
Judge Hodson's murder.

84
00:05:57,521 --> 00:06:01,438
I'd thought you'd want to be the first 
to get a complete interview.

85
00:06:01,716 --> 00:06:03,593
Well, how thoughtful of you.

86
00:06:03,938 --> 00:06:06,070
Although you will clearly take advantage

87
00:06:06,070 --> 00:06:08,772
of a full report of this interview if I'm right?

88
00:06:09,539 --> 00:06:12,889
That would be appreciated, Blanche, 
thank you.

89
00:06:14,089 --> 00:06:17,256
I guess I owe you a drink now,

90
00:06:17,256 --> 00:06:18,224
don't I?

91
00:06:18,971 --> 00:06:23,155
The only thing you owe me right now, Jacob,
is your trust.

92
00:06:24,054 --> 00:06:25,121
Fair.

93
00:06:25,538 --> 00:06:28,939
And in any case, you always know where to find me.

94
00:06:29,454 --> 00:06:32,588
Il'l have the witness sent under escort right away.

95
00:06:32,588 --> 00:06:34,885
Good luck. Be careful.

96
00:06:34,885 --> 00:06:36,415
Goodbye.

97
00:07:41,665 --> 00:07:44,327
Mrs Higgins, there's someone here for you.

98
00:07:45,022 --> 00:07:47,737
Thank you Nellie, please leave us alone.

99
00:07:53,794 --> 00:07:57,128
Take a seat, make yourself at ease.

100
00:08:00,595 --> 00:08:02,644
Would you like a drink?

101
00:09:41,601 --> 00:09:43,111
So...

102
00:09:45,503 --> 00:09:47,420
I believe you're not comfortable

103
00:09:47,420 --> 00:09:49,270
with what you witnessed.

104
00:09:50,236 --> 00:09:52,687
Wrong place, wrong time, eh?

105
00:09:56,348 --> 00:10:00,466
I'm tempted to ask why you took so long to show up,

106
00:10:00,466 --> 00:10:02,916
but I guess you have your reasons.

107
00:10:06,420 --> 00:10:09,854
Are you okay to answer a few questions for me?

108
00:10:10,805 --> 00:10:15,420
Nothing formal, just casual talking
and a few notes,

109
00:10:15,420 --> 00:10:17,672
so you can relax.

110
00:10:20,888 --> 00:10:23,389
Let's start from the beginning, shall we?

111
00:10:24,223 --> 00:10:25,973
What's your first name?

112
00:10:33,657 --> 00:10:35,190
Last name?

113
00:10:37,190 --> 00:10:39,080
Interesting.

114
00:10:39,605 --> 00:10:41,890
Where does this come from?

115
00:10:59,575 --> 00:11:01,643
What's your address?

116
00:11:29,497 --> 00:11:31,316
Date of birth?

117
00:11:34,815 --> 00:11:36,248
Come on...

118
00:11:47,999 --> 00:11:50,669
Married? Children?

119
00:12:07,638 --> 00:12:09,771
Where do you work?

120
00:12:18,690 --> 00:12:20,190
Where is that?

121
00:13:22,116 --> 00:13:24,699
How long have you been working there?

122
00:13:37,284 --> 00:13:40,969
Do you usually go to and from work
with other people?

123
00:13:44,886 --> 00:13:47,853
Directly to home?
No detour?

124
00:14:09,265 --> 00:14:12,950
Let's sum things up, at least 
the straights facts I have.

125
00:14:14,117 --> 00:14:20,501
On February 4th your left your work
at, what, 7pm?

126
00:14:21,568 --> 00:14:25,584
And you entered Fairfield street 
to go back directly to home?

127
00:14:25,835 --> 00:14:29,119
That's when you heard the gunshot
and saw Hodson on the floor

128
00:14:29,119 --> 00:14:34,071
and another man running 
towards Crestwood lane, that's it?

129
00:14:39,088 --> 00:14:42,156
Would you remember what this man
looked like?

130
00:14:47,623 --> 00:14:50,256
Would a paper and a pencil help?

131
00:14:54,789 --> 00:14:56,257
You can sketch whatever shape

132
00:14:56,257 --> 00:14:58,425
or face feature you remember.

133
00:15:46,699 --> 00:15:48,714
What about the hair?

134
00:16:02,868 --> 00:16:05,251
Can you add details here?

135
00:16:17,186 --> 00:16:18,953
Can you add brows?

136
00:16:45,474 --> 00:16:46,892
Let me see.

137
00:16:56,226 --> 00:16:58,210
Yes I know, it's never easy.

138
00:17:00,460 --> 00:17:02,078
Let me help.

139
00:17:12,097 --> 00:17:13,964
Was it this man?

140
00:17:17,381 --> 00:17:19,481
Just add a few years.

141
00:17:26,990 --> 00:17:29,409
Do you usually wear glasses?

142
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:39,051
Listen, the police are trying to gather
everything they can to understand

143
00:17:39,051 --> 00:17:42,384
the criminal's scheme and avoid a new murder.

144
00:17:42,819 --> 00:17:45,686
No one knows which bigwig will be the next target

145
00:17:45,686 --> 00:17:50,103
and every VIP of this city is loosing their minds.

146
00:18:10,506 --> 00:18:12,423
Five victims.

147
00:18:15,973 --> 00:18:17,690
A notary,

148
00:18:18,742 --> 00:18:21,009
two industrialists,

149
00:18:23,326 --> 00:18:26,440
a town council member and...

150
00:18:30,070 --> 00:18:31,545
a judge.

151
00:18:34,510 --> 00:18:38,561
Some of these were total pigs
and won't be missed.

152
00:18:39,077 --> 00:18:41,895
But a couple of them were actually good men.

153
00:18:41,895 --> 00:18:44,529
And Judge Hodson was one of them.

154
00:18:45,562 --> 00:18:49,112
Whatever you saw or heard 
could be of crucial importance,

155
00:18:49,112 --> 00:18:50,779
look at me.

156
00:19:00,397 --> 00:19:02,649
You didn't come here with your hands

157
00:19:02,649 --> 00:19:05,232
in your pockets, did you?

158
00:19:07,450 --> 00:19:09,616
Show me.

159
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,300
A letter?

160
00:19:15,523 --> 00:19:17,373
Blackmail, eh?

161
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,572
So they know you were there after all.

162
00:19:23,374 --> 00:19:25,841
Has Jacob already seen this?

163
00:19:28,426 --> 00:19:30,308
Alright, let me see.

164
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,643
I suppose you have already run
your fingers all over it.

165
00:19:50,559 --> 00:19:52,979
How and when did you get it?

166
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:52,070
"Keep your mouth shut
or end up like the old slug"

167
00:21:08,568 --> 00:21:10,886
Well, straight to the point.

168
00:21:13,919 --> 00:21:16,287
I wouldn't have exactly called Hodson

169
00:21:16,287 --> 00:21:17,386
an old slug,

170
00:21:17,386 --> 00:21:21,170
but we can appreciate this is striking enough.

171
00:21:37,572 --> 00:21:40,956
Don't worry, Jacob and his team
will protect you.

172
00:22:03,210 --> 00:22:06,310
Anything else you'd like to tell me?

173
00:22:10,177 --> 00:22:11,961
You're free to go then.

174
00:22:12,728 --> 00:22:15,396
I will keep this if you don't mind.

175
00:22:17,463 --> 00:22:19,512
Your escort is waiting outside,

176
00:22:19,512 --> 00:22:22,163
I'll walk you to the door.

177
00:22:26,014 --> 00:22:27,630
Nellie, our guest is leaving.

178
00:22:27,630 --> 00:22:29,648
Of course, this way please.

179
00:22:33,282 --> 00:22:36,253
Oh Mrs Higgins, the evening news has arrived.

180
00:22:36,253 --> 00:22:37,399
Thank you.

181
00:23:22,749 --> 00:23:26,283
"Some shady politicians are starting

182
00:23:26,283 --> 00:23:28,566
to fear for their little businesses.

183
00:23:29,766 --> 00:23:31,616
Or their lives".

184
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,303
This wasn't referring to the latest victim.

185
00:23:53,503 --> 00:23:55,554
It is the next one.

186
00:24:13,557 --> 00:24:16,877
(unintelligible whispers)

187
00:24:58,870 --> 00:25:01,253
Norman J. Slugg, here.

188
00:25:10,933 --> 00:25:14,082
Suspected of having his own arms trafficking ring.

189
00:25:14,082 --> 00:25:16,430
And numerous death threats have been made

190
00:25:16,430 --> 00:25:19,134
by local mob against him.

191
00:25:26,165 --> 00:25:28,799
Mrs Higgins, a letter for you.

192
00:25:30,182 --> 00:25:32,149
A letter? At this time?

193
00:25:33,399 --> 00:25:35,234
Who brought it? When?

194
00:25:35,234 --> 00:25:37,584
I don't know, he refused to give his name.

195
00:25:37,584 --> 00:25:40,018
But he seemed quite charming if I may say.

196
00:25:40,018 --> 00:25:41,951
He left a few minutes ago.

197
00:26:08,246 --> 00:26:10,363
Blanche,

198
00:26:10,363 --> 00:26:13,581
I won't sign this letter because there's no need to.

199
00:26:15,247 --> 00:26:18,163
I know you knew even before 
you opened the envelope.

200
00:26:18,863 --> 00:26:23,799
A single sheet of paper may seem 
insignificant after years of silence.

201
00:26:23,799 --> 00:26:27,466
And that still might not be enough to tell you all.

202
00:26:27,466 --> 00:26:28,916
But...

203
00:26:30,090 --> 00:26:32,585
I went too far, Blanche.

204
00:26:33,209 --> 00:26:36,476
Got hooked in by the worst people
you could imagine.

205
00:26:36,476 --> 00:26:40,295
They promised me wealth, they promised power,

206
00:26:40,295 --> 00:26:42,527
they promised me everything.

207
00:26:44,779 --> 00:26:46,296
I really thought it wouldn't last,

208
00:26:46,296 --> 00:26:48,562
I thought I would quickly get enough.

209
00:26:48,862 --> 00:26:50,663
But it was never enough.

210
00:26:50,663 --> 00:26:54,346
It was a never-ending cycle 
of greediness and destruction

211
00:26:54,346 --> 00:26:56,514
from which I couldn't run away.

212
00:26:57,714 --> 00:27:01,565
I tried, though. I swear I tried...

213
00:27:02,382 --> 00:27:04,115
5 years ago.

214
00:27:04,482 --> 00:27:06,816
But... I didn't make it.

215
00:27:08,067 --> 00:27:11,217
And everything became 
a lot harder after that.

216
00:27:11,650 --> 00:27:15,200
I had to assume my role as a pawn 
once again.

217
00:27:16,381 --> 00:27:20,088
But today, finally, I'm breaking the cycle.

218
00:27:20,088 --> 00:27:23,871
As I write this, I'm preparing for my escape,

219
00:27:24,031 --> 00:27:26,797
knowing that my time is running out.

220
00:27:27,430 --> 00:27:31,266
I'm not sure I can call this redemption but...

221
00:27:31,266 --> 00:27:34,011
In the envelope, you'll find a list of 
all the people

222
00:27:34,011 --> 00:27:35,771
involved in the recent murders

223
00:27:35,771 --> 00:27:37,396
and where to find them.

224
00:27:37,911 --> 00:27:40,860
Schemers, right-hand men, underlings...

225
00:27:41,378 --> 00:27:44,145
Along with the location of a locker
at the train station.

226
00:27:44,635 --> 00:27:46,833
It's where I put all the pieces of evidence

227
00:27:46,833 --> 00:27:49,416
I've been gathering these last years.

228
00:27:49,668 --> 00:27:52,085
I know you and your friend Caine 
will handle this just right,

229
00:27:52,085 --> 00:27:54,518
but the choice is up to you.

230
00:27:55,952 --> 00:27:58,036
No need to rush though.

231
00:27:58,036 --> 00:28:01,586
As you read this, the crooked senator
has already kicked the bucket.

232
00:28:02,352 --> 00:28:05,437
And rest assured, your witness will be safe.

233
00:28:07,002 --> 00:28:10,071
As for me, life here is over.

234
00:28:10,737 --> 00:28:12,770
I'm setting sails for another.

235
00:28:13,755 --> 00:28:17,938
Another country, far from here.

236
00:28:19,655 --> 00:28:21,406
Try to forgive me if you can.

237
00:28:22,555 --> 00:28:24,424
And find happiness in this world.

238
00:28:26,274 --> 00:28:27,507
If you can.

239
00:28:35,158 --> 00:28:37,676
7 days later...

240
00:28:52,845 --> 00:28:56,128
...In the most surprising districts of the city.

241
00:28:56,128 --> 00:28:59,362
Although one of the suspects 
is still missing and presumed dead,

242
00:28:59,362 --> 00:29:01,012
the police have now locked up

243
00:29:01,012 --> 00:29:03,736
every criminal involved in the 
recent macabre events,

244
00:29:03,736 --> 00:29:06,206
thanks to inspector Jacob Caine's work.

245
00:29:06,416 --> 00:29:11,083
While his investigations methods
are still unclear and controversial,

246
00:29:11,083 --> 00:29:13,144
he certainly succeeds where others fail.

247
00:29:13,460 --> 00:29:17,310
I for one believe we shouldn't put
too much scrutiny into Caine's methods.

248
00:29:17,310 --> 00:29:20,510
If anything, we only owe him
only our greatest thanks.

249
00:29:20,510 --> 00:29:23,535
The ends almost always 
justify the means.

250
00:29:23,535 --> 00:29:25,648
And I can tell you, ladies & gentlemen,

251
00:29:25,648 --> 00:29:29,232
we can now enjoy the night life
of our good old city without fear,

252
00:29:29,232 --> 00:29:32,150
and sleep soundly, and safe, 
and snug in our beds,

253
00:29:32,150 --> 00:29:34,316
all thanks to this gentleman,

254
00:29:34,316 --> 00:29:35,900
bless you Jacob Caine.

255
00:30:01,933 --> 00:30:03,451
Inspector Caine speaking.

256
00:30:03,700 --> 00:30:05,317
Hey Jacob.

257
00:30:05,317 --> 00:30:06,734
What about this drink?

258
00:30:07,368 --> 00:30:09,885
(soft laughter)
