01x05 - Gone, Macy, Gone

[bunniefuu]

I can't believe Macy
went back into the lab.

She had to go back.
If we were attacked...

No if. You two were attacked.

Then we need to know why.

How did you know about
the secret panel?

I didn't know.

I came to look for you two
and it was already half open.

Ah, so the attacker
used it to escape.

Did you see them?
- No, I didn't see anyone.

Is this whole adventure
turning a bit weird?

Like bad weird?
Or is it just me?

The nitric acid bottle is gone.

He must have poured it
onto the blood splotch

because it's eaten away.

Whoever was trying
to get rid of us

was also trying to
remove evidence.

This doesn't feel like
a quick trip to save

Macy's family anymore. I
mean, you were attacked.

I know, and you two
didn't sign up for...

Looking at half-digested
salmon? No.

Avoiding arrest by
old-timey constables? No.

Escaping poison
gas? No, we didn't.

But we're not leaving
you to do it alone.

Even if matters have
turned more sinister.

Let's go back to the morgue.
We have things to think about.

I forgot! Here's
some good news!

Murdoch's scarf fibres
don't match the ones

on Van Doren's neck.

But Constable Higgins-Newsome

said we don't have
the actual scarf

that k*lled her, and we'd
also need it to clear Murdoch.

So a good news,
bad news situation.

To be followed by
even better news!

Iris Craven returned
the police's phone call.

She moved to Montreal last week

for a gig at McGill University
that Van Doren helped her get.

So if Grady Robbins and
Iris Craven didn't do it,

that leaves...
- Kurt?

It's him, right?

Professor Gautam's
research assistant?

Isn't it?

What's he doing
here? How did he...

Did he find the machine?

I mean, hello. He
did. He's here!

Wait, if he's from the future,

he knows the past
has been screwed up!

He can help us! Ku...

Isn't it weird he's
dressed in period then?

And he doesn't look
lost like we were.

What are you insinuating, Macy?

I think we have to be careful.

C'mon, let's tail him.

Do we follow him inside?

What's he doing at a diner?

Eating something?

Meeting someone?

It's too coincidental for
him not to be involved.

I mean, not necessarily.

If a time machine
brought me here,

it could be hungry o'clock.

I'm going in.

Wait. What are you gonna do

when he recognizes you?

I don't know. I'll wing it.

No.

Don't know why you're
surprised, Veronica.

Lawman or not, he k*lled her.

William Murdoch
is not a m*rder*r.

You're clearly biased.

Tell me, what innocent man
doesn't provide an alibi.

Who provides an alibi
without a lawyer present?

Who needs a lawyer if you
didn't commit a crime?

And you can't deny the
rumours of him and Van Doren

going around. And his
wife is out of town.

I mean, the timing...
- Please.

A lot of people argue
outside the Oyster.

He threatened her
life. People heard.

And then she was dead.

Murdoch was with Van
Doren the night she died,

threatening her life?

So, he's Mr. Late
Night Sponge Cake?

Talk about a plot twist.

What are you thinking, Macy?

Kurt! He's on the move, c'mon!

The plot twist!

He's headed towards
the university!

Anyone see him? : No.

We have to split
up. : No!

Macy... You were
just poison gassed.

There's a m*rder*r on the loose

and a TBD-research assistant.

Can we just stick together?

I'm trying to save
my Dad's life,

I can't let any
of that scare me.

Zane, if Macy gets
hurt, or worse,

in the past, what
happens to future Macy?

I-I mean, theoretically...

- Answer: Not good Macy!

Macy, let's go
get the constable.

There's no time. You
two stick together.

I'll meet you back
in the morgue.

It's not safe!

If I worried about being safe,

I wouldn't have ever
skated the Great Wall.

Wait, of China?

Dad?

Huh?

Kurt and Professor LeDuc?

It was him in the lab.
He's the last suspect.

He's the m*rder*r.

And Kurt's with him?!

The time machine's
down there, no!

: Zane, Zane, over here!

- Did you find Macy?
- No, you were going after Kurt,

and I was on Macy.
- Or see Kurt?

Y'know, this is beyond us now.

Everything is unravelling.

We were supposed
to be in and out,

but now it's... it's
getting more complicated

by the minute. And scary.

We need to tell Higgins-Newsome

what's going on.
And we can also ask

about the rumours between
Murdoch and Van Doren,

if they're true.

Because men in the
1900s are so much better

sharing their personal
lives with each other?

Confidantes can be surprising.

Even if the truth
in some cases can...

You okay? What is it?

Oh. Wait, I know that look.

- What? What look.
- C'mon, c'mon.

The "I-need-to-say-something
and-it's-eating-me-inside"

Billie look.

Billie...
- No!

No, I don't want
to hear about her.

- Her? Who's her?
- Nothing, uh...

Can we just go to
the Station House

and find Constable
what's-his-face please?

You and your friends have
become a bit of a hassle,

Miss Murdoch.

What are you doing here?

You mean you haven't
figured it out yet?

I guess you're not
like the OG Murdoch.

I know you talked
to Professor LeDuc.

Why are you helping him
get away with m*rder?

You're not the only one
who cares about her family.

You're related to LeDuc?

Is that why you chose
this case for class?

You think Professor Amira Gautam

lets her lowly research
assistant pick her assignments?

No. That was just the stars
finally aligning for my family.

Although, I must admit,

you bringing in the
detective's diary

and then just leaving it
on the chair unattended?

I mean, shame, shame, Macy!
Anyone could just pick it up!

And find the treasure inside!

You found the blueprint!

You went back in time and framed
my great-great-great-grandfather!

You did this! You're
erasing people's lives!

Pity.

You won't get away with this.

I think I will.

No, no!

No!
