Go and tell the girls.
I'll join you in a moment.
Barnabus,
this is not a good time.
I shall be very quick, my jewel!
I just wanted to share
the most wonderful news.
I've decided to write a novel.
[exhales]
Never mind that now.
I need your help.
IVY: Sophia has long, dark
hair, blue eyes, about this tall.
Well, she was
when I last saw her.
She's probably grown by now.
Never fear, my dear.
They do not call me
Eagled-Eyed Potts for nothing.
They don't call you that at all,
Barnabus... excuse me.
Have you seen a little girl
on her own?
Dark hair, blue eyes,
about this big?
Sorry.
[sighs]
So, um...
[clears throat]
What do you think about my idea
to write a novel?
Barnabus,
as I have said many times,
what I think is that you need
to get your old job back.
Huh?
Oh, excuse me.
Have you seen a little girl?
Dark hair, blue eyes,
about this big? No.
What makes you think
I need my job back?
My novel will be published,
I'm sure of it.
Barnabus, I only say this
because I love you.
You have many skills,
but writing is not one of them.
But...
You said you enjoyed my memoirs.
You said I was
a wonderful writer!
I was being nice.
There's a reason no one
wants to publish it.
I'm sorry.
That's the truth.
Excuse me.
Have you seen a little girl?
Dark hair, blue eyes,
about this tall?
No.

Lady detective, I assume.
So, the word is that you've been

So, I do hope
your presence here means
that you've done just that.
Well, innocent of k*lling
Philip Galanis, but
of obstruction of justice,
your hands are dirty,
Mr. Cooper.
PHELPS:
It was Natalia Lorenzo
that k*lled Philip Galanis,
and you've been protecting her.
ELIZA: We found a
financial trail between you
and Dr. Marsh,
your own personal doctor.
You paid him to patch up
your girl, didn't you?
She's not my girl.
Never has been.
She's the daughter
of an old mate.
The fella did a long
stretch inside,
but he kept his mouth shut.
Ten years hard labor,
pretty well k*lled him.
He died a month
after he come out.
So, yeah, she been
like a daughter to me.
So, it didn't go down well
when you discovered
her affair with Galanis.
Tried to warn her against it,
but
she's a headstrong young girl.
I think they thought they were
some kind of Romeo and Juliet.
But he didn't treat her right.
He was a drunk, and a bad one.
If she hadn't have got his g*n,
he'd have k*lled her.
Well, if she shot him
in self-defense,
then there's no reason
for her to go on the run.
Try telling that
to the Galanis family.
So...
You two can do what you want.
I'll just deny it all.
And any link to Dr. Marsh
can be explained away.
It'll never stand up in court.
Especially as you have
half the judges in London
in your pocket.
Where's Natalia now?
She got on a boat
from St. Katharine's Docks.
And I don't know where... I told
her it was safer that I didn't,
in the event that something
like this happened.
