00:02Oh!
00:02Oh!
00:04Oh!
00:04Oh!
00:05Oh!
00:06Oh!
00:07Oh!
00:08Oh!
00:09Oh!
00:11Oh!
00:12Oh!
00:13Oh!
00:14Oh!
00:14Looking good, Jack!
00:16Always look good, baby!
00:17That's my happy job, you know?
00:23That Jack Johnson is something else.
00:26St. James can't even get close.
00:28He's got that boy outclassed.
00:30I knew Miss Hart.
00:31I met the legend in the flesh.
00:32Indeed.
00:33In Chicago.
00:34At his club at Café de Champion.
00:36He's a colorful man, to say the least.
00:56When should I take this chump out, baby?
00:57Depends.
00:58How fast you wanna get me back to that hotel?
01:00Oh!
01:13I've never seen anyone punch so hard in my life.
01:17Get back!
01:18Woo!
01:19Woo!
01:21Woo!
01:21The winner!
01:22Jack Johnson!
01:26Woo!
01:27Woo!
01:29Right here, Jack.
01:31Jack, Louise Cherry, the Sentinel.
01:33I'm doing a profile.
01:35You better be showing my good side.
01:36Oh, wait.
01:37Only have good sides.
01:38How long will we be seeing you and Lucille in Toronto?
01:41People should've seemed friendly up here.
01:43Maybe we'll stay a while.
01:45There he is, Jack Johnson.
01:47Nice fight, Jack.
01:49Tell me, where'd you find that guy?
01:50The white bread line, huh?
01:51Everywhere I go, there's Sam Langford biting at my ankles.
01:55Get a photo of the two of them.
01:56Okay.
02:02When you gonna give me my shot, Jack?
02:04Don't be a fool.
02:06Nobody's gonna pay to watch two black men fight for the title.
02:09I'm burning up in this fur, baby.
02:11You can't have that.
02:12Let me open this up for you.
02:16What the hell?
02:18What the hell?
02:31What the hell?
02:41Lucille Johnson.
02:43Karen Comet.
02:43Miss Cherry, please back off, and let the professionals do their job.
02:47Miss?
02:49So you knew the man who was found in your luggage compartment?
02:53That's my boy Aaron Willard.
02:54We've been close since we were small.
02:57When did you last see him?
02:58In the morning yesterday before we left Chicago.
03:01He drove my car up and I took the train.
03:03So you never actually saw him here in Toronto?
03:06No. The car was parked in front of the hotel
03:08when I got up around 11.
03:10Right. Do you know if he had conflicts with anyone here?
03:14Everyone loved Aaron.
03:17Detective.
03:19Excuse me.
03:22Take a look.
03:24Very little blood pooled inside.
03:26Right. And given the damage to the victim's skull...
03:29He would have bled a great deal.
03:31It's unlikely he died here.
03:33Do you have an estimate on the time of death?
03:35Rigor was near its end, so I estimate around 24 hours.
03:38Right.
03:40Sir.
03:42The victim's wife was seen at the arena before the fight,
03:45looking for her husband.
03:46People said that she had words with Mr. Johnson.
03:49Body in the car.
03:50Man being here bashed by his wife. Doesn't look good.
03:52Right. We need to find Mrs. Willard.
03:54Check her hotel and please bring her in to the station house.
03:57Yes, sir.
03:58I hate to say this, but you must know,
04:00Johnson is wanted in the United States.
04:03For what?
04:03The MAN Act.
04:04Bringing a woman across state lines for immoral purposes.
04:07But having read the report, it seems they're stretching the law.
04:11Nevertheless, sir, he is a man on the run.
04:14If we don't bring him in now, he's likely to fly the crew.
04:17Evans.
04:23I know a passing when I see one.
04:25Please come to the station house, Mr. Johnson.
04:28You're not pinning this on me.
04:29Johnson, I've seen you fight.
04:31You could take all three of us.
04:32But what good would that do you?
04:45We are terribly sorry for your loss, Mrs. Willard.
04:48When did you last see your husband?
04:50We drove up from Chicago together.
04:53He left the hotel last night to meet Jack around nine.
04:56He met Johnson?
04:57He said he was going to.
04:59But Jack said he never heard from him.
05:02Does that make sense?
05:03You must have been worried.
05:05Your man out all night?
05:06I figure they must have found some saloon.
05:09Boys will be boys.
05:10But he didn't show up for the fight.
05:13He never misses a fight.
05:15How did Mr. Willard seem when he was heading out?
05:18Was he agitated at all?
05:21I'll start up about something with Lucy and Jack going to Paris.
05:25Were you planning to travel with the Johnsons to France?
05:28None of us were going.
05:30All those years going off from place to place for fights, shows.
05:34When things got tough, Jack just cut us all loose.
05:37I know it broke Aaron's heart.
05:40Evans, could you take Mrs. Willard to the bullpen, please?
05:49Johnson never told us he was planning to meet Willard.
05:52And given the time of death,
05:54either he was killed before he met with Johnson...
05:57Or Johnson's the one who killed him.
05:58We need to question him.
06:00It's late.
06:02Why don't we let him stew in the cells overnight?
06:05Might soften him up a bit.
06:18You suspect he was attacked?
06:20Or tripped and hit his head on the edge of this table.
06:26Well, no signs of a struggle or forced entry.
06:30You said you had some questions.
06:32Mr. Hughes, we don't need to do this here.
06:34Better than in front of the missus.
06:36You weren't home when this happened,
06:38but did George have any visitors?
06:41Well, he spent a lot of time with his cousin.
06:43Paul's what you call a physical culturist.
06:45He was trying to make a man out of that boy.
06:48They were close?
06:49They were.
06:51Until last week when they got into some kind of row.
06:57I blame you.
06:58I mean, you could have talked to him.
07:00I mean, he could have held out a few more rounds.
07:02I can't sell a 15-minute fight.
07:03He finished it when he finished it.
07:06That's how boxing works.
07:08Gentlemen.
07:10Emmett Spencer.
07:11I handle Jack Johns' business affairs.
07:13Joe Murray, manager.
07:15How long will you be holding him?
07:17Until I determine whether or not he was involved
07:19in Aaron Willard's murder.
07:24Do either of you know if there was any animosity between them?
07:27Those two were like brothers.
07:29Where were the two of you the night before last?
07:32Hit the sack as soon as we got in from Chicago.
07:34I had an early dinner and I did some work in my hotel room.
07:37And the rest of the men in Mr. Johnson's circle?
07:39They got in yesterday, before the fight.
07:42After Mr. Willard's murder?
07:43Whatever happened, Jack had nothing to do with it.
07:46We need to get him back in the ring.
07:48Mr. Johnson will remain in custody
07:50until he is cleared as a suspect,
07:52or charged with murder.
07:54Good day, gentlemen.
07:56Come on.
08:00Mr. Willard was to drive your automobile
08:02from Chicago to Toronto.
08:04Is that right?
08:05That's right.
08:06Why not drive yourself?
08:08I would have been picked up in a minute.
08:10I took the train with my man Rube's baseball team.
08:14All the coppers looking just saw another Negro ball player.
08:17And upon his arrival in Toronto,
08:19Mr. Willard was to deliver the automobile to you.
08:23Yeah.
08:23So you met with him that night?
08:25I was supposed to, but I never heard from him.
08:26Doesn't look good keeping that from us, does it?
08:30I know what happens when a man like me gets hauled in here.
08:34People have been threatening me with time my whole life.
08:37This is not about time.
08:39This is about your neck in a noose.
08:40Yeah.
08:41People have been threatening me with that my whole life, too.
08:45I understand you're a wanted man in the United States.
08:48I brought a lady friend across the state line
08:50and they didn't like it because she was white.
08:53Was that your current wife?
08:55Or the one who took her own life last year?
08:57You don't speak about things you know nothing about.
08:59And what does any of this got to do with Aaron?
09:03You are on the fugitive list in the United States.
09:07So?
09:08Perhaps your friend, Mr. Willard, thought that he would collect
09:11some reward on his way to Toronto.
09:14What?
09:16Aaron would never do that.
09:18And you really think I killed him?
09:20Mr. Johnson, the last time Mr. Willard was seen alive,
09:24he was on his way to see you.
09:27Let me out of here.
09:28I'm afraid I can't do that, Mr. Johnson.
09:31I didn't do this!
09:32I knew you people would railroad me!
09:34Constables, take him to the cells.
09:43These were in his pocket.
09:46Two tickets, Montreal to La Halle?
09:49His wife didn't seem to think they were going on that trip.
09:53And what of the body?
09:56He has superficial abrasions on his wrists.
10:00Looks like someone tied him up.
10:03He also had a massive fracture of his skull,
10:05which I believe to be the result of a single blow.
10:09A single blow?
10:11There's more.
10:13I also found traces of leather and horse hair embedded in the wound.
10:17That's what boxing gloves are made from.
10:21Sir, I find it difficult to believe that a man could inflict this much damage with a single fist.
10:27Murdo, I saw Jack Johnson punch Stanley Kitchell so hard the poor bugger's teeth broke off and got stuck in
10:32the glove.
10:34As much as I hate to say it, I think we've got our man.
10:41Well, you look dead on your feet.
10:43That's a thing to say, Louise.
10:45I report the facts as I see them.
10:47The office has me up to my ears defending an endless stream of petty crimes.
10:52I can scarcely breathe.
10:54Well, then we must go out.
10:56All work and no play is not healthy.
10:58You're one to talk.
10:59I've never seen you take a day off in your life.
11:01I'll have you know that I have a very healthy social life.
11:03In fact, I'm going to the Toronto Bowling Club tonight.
11:07With who?
11:09You.
11:13What the bloody hell are you tinkering with, madam?
11:17Sir, this is my strike force measuring device.
11:21These lights are calibrated to a sensor and they will fully illuminate when the force reaches that which was exerted
11:30on Mr. Willard's skull when he was killed.
11:32Looks like it belongs in an amusement park.
11:35I've checked with Mrs. Johnson.
11:36She confirms that she was with her husband tonight in question.
11:39Maybe she's protecting him.
11:41She seems a little dizzy and loved that one.
11:44Sir, I've been thinking, why would Mr. Johnson tell her to put her fur in the luggage compartment if he
11:51knew there was a body in there?
11:55Mr. Johnson, I need you to strike this device as hard as you can.
12:00I'm not putting on some show.
12:02I'm afraid I must insist.
12:10As you can see, his punch is only half of the force.
12:14Half?
12:15No.
12:19All right, all right, thank you.
12:21Thank you, Mr. Johnson, that's quite enough.
12:24As I suspected, the force required to produce the damage that we saw on Mr. Willard is far greater than
12:32any human could exert with a punch.
12:35So what do you think happened?
12:36I believe the victim was not standing but prone on the ground and the killer struck with an implement.
12:44Like a sledgehammer?
12:45Precisely.
12:46What about the traces from the boxing glove?
12:47I believe the killer wrapped the weapon in material to make it appear as though a powerful boxer delivered the
12:55fatal blow.
12:56A bloody frame-up job.
12:58Wait a minute.
12:59So this whole thing was to prove it wasn't me?
13:02Exactly.
13:02The science is quite clear.
13:05Huh.
13:06You're free to go.
13:08Thought you people want to string me up?
13:11No.
13:12We're only interested in the truth.
13:15So, you're gonna find the man who killed Aaron?
13:19Yes.
13:19We won't rest until we do.
13:22Roberts, there was a bunch of muckrakers waiting outside when I came in.
13:25Take Mr. Johnson out the back.
13:27This way, sir.
13:29I gotta tell ya, surprised to see one of us in blue.
13:35The chief constable brought me in.
13:37I'm the only one in Toronto.
13:39He stuck his neck out for me.
13:41I know people don't like it.
13:44Nah, you're a trailblazer.
13:46Who cares what those people think?
13:47Act like they don't even exist.
13:50That might be easier for the heavyweight champion, say.
13:53Might be.
13:54You must be used to avoiding the critics and the fans.
13:58When I would go out with Aaron, I'd give him my coat, he'd run off, they'd chase off after him.
14:03We'd meet up later once he'd lost them.
14:07I'm gonna miss that guy.
14:10Did you say Mr. Willard used to double for you?
14:13Did you tell this to the detective?
14:15Why would I?
14:17Don't you see what this means?
14:18Maybe the killer wasn't after Mr. Willard, he was after you.
14:24Stay right here.
14:29Hey, you!
14:33You're a dead man.
14:51I'm gonna teach you a lesson that you never forget, buddy.
14:53I've taken on more men blindfolded back in Springfield.
14:56Hey!
15:01Now why'd you have to go and do that?
15:09You all right?
15:10Yeah, I'm fine.
15:11The funeral home will be picking up the body later.
15:13So we have to make sure...
15:14I was wondering if you had...
15:15One minute.
15:16Into the refrigeration unit, please.
15:19You live to 101.
15:21You don't see that often.
15:23In your case, far too young.
15:25Any thoughts on the cause of death?
15:27Well, I'm still quite busy with the victim in Detective Murdoch's case.
15:30Initial thoughts would be helpful.
15:33Well, I still have to examine the brain tissue.
15:37But the blow to the temple was superficial.
15:39Not enough to have killed him.
15:40Yeah.
15:40But I did notice this.
15:44What bruises?
15:45Was he choked?
15:47Perhaps.
15:47Some time ago.
15:48Maybe a week.
15:49There's also bruising on his back and his legs.
15:53Thank you, Ms. Hart.
15:58Can't say I'm surprised.
16:00Pugilists hardly keep respectable company.
16:03He was attacked.
16:04We were attacked.
16:05Be that as it may.
16:07Jack Johnson is the first colored heavyweight champion of the world.
16:10He's an inspiration.
16:12What's so inspiring about a man who knocks people out for a living?
16:16You haven't seen him knock someone out, have you?
16:19I just think a proper role model should be respectable.
16:25Humble, intelligent, and...
16:27Strong.
16:30And strong in character.
16:35Why on earth did you attack Mr. Johnson?
16:38The lady gave us five dollars.
16:40That was reason enough.
16:43What about Aaron Willard?
16:45Did you murder him thinking he was Mr. Johnson?
16:48No, no, mister.
16:50I didn't.
16:52We didn't kill anybody.
16:56This lady.
16:57Mrs. F.
16:58We just met her this morning.
16:59So this Mrs. F.
17:02Hired the three of you to attack Jack Johnson because...
17:06Jack Johnson?
17:10I got KO'd by Jack Johnson?
17:13Oh!
17:14Oh!
17:16Oh!
17:19Change of plans, we're off to the starboard.
17:22So no bowling?
17:23The Johnsons are there and I need to get some quotes for my profile.
17:25I thought you said we were supposed to take a break from work.
17:27Well, I'm mixing business and pleasure like they say you should.
17:30They don't say that.
17:31Well, I say it.
17:32Well, I'm not just going to sit and wait while you grill the Johnsons on their private lives.
17:37Did I mention that drinks are on the Sentinel?
17:40Mixing business and pleasure has its benefits.
17:42Well, why didn't you say that first?
17:46I understand you were helping George with his strength?
17:49He was doing so well.
17:51But you had a falling out.
17:53That was nothing.
17:54An argument about training.
17:57We found bruises on his neck.
17:59Was that from your argument?
18:01George tried to do a press, but it was too heavy.
18:04It came down on him.
18:06He had several other injuries.
18:09I would never hurt my cousin.
18:10That's why he came here to start, to get out of that house.
18:13He had trouble at home.
18:18His father had a firm hand.
18:23I see.
18:24What exactly was the nature of your argument?
18:28He told me he started taking health tonics for strength from the chemist.
18:33You didn't improve.
18:35Your body is a temple.
18:38Who knows what's in those blasted things.
18:48Chicago Fizz.
18:49We served this at the Cafe of the Champions, but this one's got something different.
18:54Maple instead of sugar syrup.
18:56Maybe I'll call it a Toronto Fizz.
18:58I visited your club and I was very inspired.
19:01It's quite the place.
19:02We had the finest on stage every day of the week.
19:06Speaking of, I wondered if you'd be interested in doing a show while you're here.
19:09I know you're quite the raconteur and conductor.
19:12I could offer 200.
19:13200?
19:15Miss Hart, you got yourself a nice little joint here.
19:19It's the place to be, I hear, in Toronto.
19:22But I'll have to decline.
19:23But I'll tell you what.
19:25Let me get a round of drinks for the bar.
19:31That's a lot of small bills.
19:33I'd like to pass around some joy wherever I go.
19:36A round on Mr. Johnson.
19:44Now's my chance.
19:45Oh, Louise.
19:46I'd like to ask you a couple questions.
19:49They're busy.
19:50Uh, sorry to bother you.
19:50No.
19:51It's all right.
19:52Why don't you two join us?
19:56I'm Lucille Johnson.
19:57Jack Johnson is my husband.
19:59We're actually trying to make a bit of a night of it for...
20:02Renadia.
20:05It's what Aaron would have wanted.
20:07Yes.
20:08What he would have wanted.
20:10Uh, maybe a toast.
20:16To Aaron.
20:18Dear.
20:19To Aaron.
20:23I found her where the man said she'd be.
20:26This is Mrs. F.
20:27Mrs. F. Cameron Falconet.
20:30What is this about?
20:32Did you hire three men to attack Jack Johnson?
20:35I did.
20:36I had no choice.
20:38When did you hire these men?
20:41Yesterday morning.
20:42After Willard was killed.
20:45What's your connection to Mr. Johnson?
20:48My daughter has been kidnapped by that vile man.
20:51Kidnapped?
20:52My baby girl Lucille is not with him willingly.
20:55You're talking about his wife?
20:58She didn't look very kidnapped to me.
21:00My Lucille is a good Christian girl.
21:03She would never be associated with a negro.
21:06He's hypnotized her.
21:14You know it's so good to have Toronto friends.
21:16I've heard so many things.
21:18Like, you're all so stuck up and cold.
21:19But it's not cold here at all.
21:21And I'm talking about the weather.
21:22Not the people, of course.
21:23Well, some of the people.
21:27Well, I think I have enough for my profile.
21:29Nothing, shall I?
21:30Oh, no.
21:31No, you can't go.
21:32I mean, when's the next time you're going to have a chance to paint the town red with Jack
21:35Johnson and all of his best frowns?
21:39I think I'll stay.
21:42Really?
21:43I'm not.
21:43I'm having fun.
21:45Well, don't do anything I wouldn't do.
21:47That doesn't sound like much fun at all.
21:49No, it really doesn't.
21:50Hey baby, can I get you anything from the bar?
21:52Oh, uh, I'm alright, but why don't you stay?
21:55Get to know my new best friend Effie.
21:58I'll grab something from the bar and come back.
22:04And it's Spencer.
22:05Effie Newsome.
22:07I hope you're joining the gang before it lasts arrive,
22:09before we're all forced to find new opportunities.
22:12Stop it.
22:13You know Jack can't stay here.
22:14The Mantis would scoop him, send him right back to Chicago, right?
22:17Actually, there's no formal extradition treaty between the two countries.
22:20The framework only applies if there are major crimes in the books in both countries,
22:25so the Mann Act would not apply.
22:27How do you know all that?
22:29I'm a lawyer.
22:32Howie.
22:34Did you hear that?
22:35What a trip.
22:37Uh-huh.
22:38Excuse me.
22:44Please, ladies, let me take your jackets.
22:46Oh, no, no, leave it. Jack's coming back.
22:48No, that's alright.
22:50There are some, uh, prospects at the bar that we could give your attention to.
23:00Perhaps you could get those young ladies away from your husband.
23:04Oh, that?
23:05That's just the price of entering with Jack.
23:06It doesn't bother me now.
23:08Don't sell yourself short.
23:09You can extradite yourself from any husband if he's treating you badly.
23:14Why would I want to do that?
23:16I mean, aren't we all having so much fun?
23:20What's that?
23:21It's chlorophyll.
23:22It's all the rage in London right now.
23:25One pup gets you in the best of moods.
23:27No matter the day you've had.
23:35Effie.
23:35Have you been home?
23:37I saw you leave the Starbrite at 11.
23:39I did, but then Lucille suggested Ryan's and, um, two other places.
23:47Ms. Hart, did we have a meet-up?
23:50Uh, I'm here to see Detective Murdock.
23:51Detective Ms. Hart to see you.
23:54Regarding the death of George Hughes, it seems he was taking quite a few health tonics for strength.
24:01Could they be dangerous?
24:03Generally, they're harmless.
24:05I used to sell some with vital amines.
24:08Others, not so much as they could contain arsenic, mercury, lead.
24:12Hmm.
24:14Detective, I'm here with news about Mr. Willard's cause of death.
24:18Surely it was the blow to the head?
24:20No. He died of an overdose of trichloromethane.
24:23Chloroform.
24:25Chloroform?
24:27Oh, no.
24:34Mrs. Johnson.
24:37We have some questions.
24:46Chloroform killed Mr. Willard.
24:49Was it yours?
24:50Or did he have his own?
24:53No, that wasn't Aaron's thing.
24:55He and Jack stuck to booze.
24:56But you use it.
24:58We just pass it around when we're out on the town.
25:01We're not breaking any laws, are we?
25:04Technically, no.
25:06But chloroform is to be prescribed.
25:08It's meant to be used as an anesthetic.
25:11It just gets me so chatty.
25:13Talking non-stop by making you imagine me talking like that.
25:16Tries Jack crazy, but he loves me.
25:20Did anyone else have access to this bottle over the past few days?
25:24No. No, absolutely not.
25:26It's been with me the entire time.
25:28I did have another bottle though.
25:30I...
25:31I must have misplaced it somehow,
25:32so Jack went out and got me this one the night we arrived.
25:35The night before the boxing match?
25:37Hm?
25:39But you told me Mr. Johnson was with you the entire evening.
25:44I mean, sure.
25:45Jack went out for a little bit, maybe an hour or so,
25:48but he came right back.
25:49That's not bad.
25:50That's not bad, is it?
25:53I've confirmed the men who attacked Mr. Johnson
25:55and Mr. Johnson were in Hamilton the night of the murder.
25:57And Mrs. F. Cameron Falconet's train arrived the next morning,
26:01so she could only be responsible for planning the attack.
26:04There you are.
26:06Where's Lucille?
26:07Your wife is with Miss Newsome.
26:09They should be here any minute.
26:11She told us that you did in fact leave your hotel that night.
26:14That was just for a minute.
26:15You kept that from us.
26:17I didn't want to stir the pot.
26:18What happened to Mrs. Johnson's first bottle of chloroform?
26:22I don't know what went missing.
26:23What does this have to do with my money?
26:25Your money?
26:2720 grand.
26:28I just telephoned.
26:30Isn't that why you're here?
26:30Are you saying that someone stole $20,000 from you?
26:34That's right.
26:35It was locked in a chest in my room.
26:37When did this happen?
26:38The last time we opened it was before we left Chicago.
26:43Stop! I am not going with you!
26:45You do not know what's best for you, child!
26:47He has poisoned your mind!
26:48Lucille is an adult who's entitled to her own decisions.
26:51What's all this, then?
26:54She tried to rip me away from Jack
26:56by pressing those ridiculous kidnapping charges on him last year,
26:59which is what started this whole mess.
27:02Chief Constable,
27:04you seem like a man who will do what's right.
27:06I am.
27:07My daughter is not of her right mind.
27:09Frankly speaking,
27:10I would rather her be admitted into a mental institution
27:13than be with a negro like Johnson.
27:15Don't you agree, sir?
27:17I think a crime has been committed here.
27:21Your crime of hiring men to attack her husband.
27:23What?
27:24You're very lucky that Mr Johnson
27:26has persuaded us not to press charges against you.
27:29And I'd advise you to get out of the country before I reconsider.
27:34You and your views, madam, are not welcome here in Canada.
27:51Mr Johnson.
27:52Constable Roberts was kind enough to point me here.
27:55I hope I'm not keeping you from your business.
27:57Well, I have a minute while I wait for this to distill.
28:00I tell you, I was real surprised when he told me you're the owner
28:03of the hottest club in Toronto and the city coroner.
28:06That's some kind of ambition.
28:08I like that.
28:10What brings you here, Mr Johnson?
28:13I was thinking, since I'll be in the city a little while longer,
28:16maybe I'd take you upon your offer to perform at your club.
28:19How was tonight?
28:20You said $200, right?
28:22Ah, it might be hard to gather a crowd on such short notice.
28:26Maybe we can do it for $150.
28:29$150?
28:31Sure.
28:33Fine.
28:35Detective, I have your results.
28:37What did you find, Miss Hart?
28:38Mr. Hughes's stomach contents included substances found in many health tonics.
28:43But I also found formaldehyde exposure in his kidneys and liver.
28:47Could that have contributed to his death?
28:49I think it likely.
28:51Have you seen formaldehyde in a tonic before?
28:55Never.
28:56Even in miniscule amounts, it is very deadly.
29:03I believe the motive for this murder could be tied to the theft of $20,000.
29:08from Jack Johnson.
29:10You'd think that if anyone had that kind of cash,
29:12they'd be out and about spreading to hell.
29:14Perhaps they're being careful not to be conspicuous?
29:16I think it sounds like that lot.
29:17Go, go, go.
29:20So listen.
29:21Sir, watch this.
29:25You should try, sir.
29:26We have a bet going on who has the hardest punch in the station house.
29:29Let's have a go then.
29:33Well, that's the hardest one yet.
29:35Very good.
29:36Roberts, have you been able to find a match on finger marks
29:39that were on Mr. Murray's chest that's been broken into?
29:42Yes, sir.
29:42Let me get it.
29:43Right, and lads, quick lesson.
29:44You don't just punch through your arm.
29:46The punch starts in your legs, transfers to your hips,
29:50and then springs through the whole body.
29:52Boom!
29:54Sir, you know, this machine would be great at fairs or pubs.
29:58It's a scientific device.
30:00Ah, two matches.
30:01Mr. Murray and the victim, Aaron Willard.
30:05Willard?
30:05Do you think he nicked the 20 grand?
30:08Well, if he did, sir, then perhaps his wife decided to keep his newfound windfall.
30:16We have reason to believe that your husband stole a large sum of money from Mr. Johnson.
30:21Aaron was honest. Never.
30:23His finger marks were on the case, and then he ended up dead.
30:27Can you explain that?
30:29No.
30:32Thinking back over the past few days, did Aaron have extra money?
30:37Did he purchase any expensive gifts for you?
30:40Maybe he was planning on taking you to Paris.
30:43He had tickets.
30:44No, those weren't ours.
30:46They were for Lucille and Jack.
30:49Then why were they on his person?
30:51I don't know.
30:53He was always picking up things for Jack.
30:55Jewelry, cars, you name it.
30:58If he was gonna steal from him, he could have done it a hundred times.
31:02Why now?
31:03Because, young lady, the gravy train was over.
31:08I'm telling you, Aaron worshipped Jack.
31:13He loved him.
31:15He would never take his money. Never.
31:19She may be lying.
31:20Or perhaps someone else was after the money.
31:23And Willard got in the way.
31:25It's a possibility.
31:26Right then, mate, I'll say goodnight.
31:28I'm off to the Starbright to see Johnson's show.
31:30I'll keep an eye out to see if anyone is flashing cash around.
31:3623 days they kept me and Joe in jail for boxing in Texas.
31:40No problem carrying a gun with these fists.
31:44We're deadly weapons.
31:47But I tell you, we turned that cell into a gym.
31:51And that's where Joe taught me how to take a punch.
31:54But more, he taught me how to move out of the way of one.
31:57When I learned how to defend, that's when I learned how to be the child.
32:03Oh, yeah?
32:04Well, ain't no bobbing and weaving from these here, Jack.
32:09Sam, we already had that dance.
32:12Yeah, back when we was kids. Years before you even had the title.
32:17Yeah.
32:18Y'all see that? He's scared that I'm gonna take it from him, huh?
32:22Sam, that's enough.
32:24Oh, come on now.
32:25Sam!
32:27We'll see you around.
32:35Now, let's knock y'all out with some tunes.
32:39Hit it, boys!
32:41Woo!
32:43Don't that sound sweet?
32:45Come on!
32:48He's got some charisma, this lad.
32:50Must be a big hero for you, what?
32:52My mother doesn't like that his dirty laundry always ends up in the papers.
32:56Wherever he goes, a big smoke follows him around. That's what they say, right?
33:00Well, take it from me.
33:02If you're relying on sports stars to be your heroes, it's best not to dig too deep.
33:10How are you feeling?
33:12You have quite good night after I left.
33:15I was feeling horrible this morning.
33:17But gosh, was it fun.
33:20So you've decided to live your life like a 20-year-old?
33:22Why not?
33:24She's carefree.
33:25She's living in the moment.
33:27Her life is so exciting.
33:29It was a thrill to be a part of it, even for a moment.
33:33Effie, you have the most exciting life of anyone I know.
33:37Please, my life is nothing but case files.
33:40You've won murder trials.
33:42You've had love affairs.
33:44Be married and divorced twice.
33:47Traveled the world.
33:48When you're old and gray, your grandnieces and nephews won't even believe the stories you have to tell.
33:55You're right, Louise.
33:58I fear all my stories may be behind me.
34:03All right.
34:04Here you go.
34:06Thanks for coming out.
34:11Jack!
34:14We need some help!
34:17Help!
34:22I've got to stop bleeding.
34:24Why are you not bleeding?
34:25Robert, was he shot?
34:27Yes.
34:27He took a bullet to the chest.
34:30You see that?
34:33Try as your might, you can't knock out Jack Johnson.
34:40The bullet was somehow stopped by...
34:44What?
34:53American currency.
34:56I'm willing to bet there's $20,000 in this coat.
34:59Who put it there?
35:00Johnson clearly had no idea.
35:0322 caliber bullet.
35:04Johnson was very lucky.
35:08Sirs.
35:10Witnesses of the shooting said they saw flashes from a nearby alleyway.
35:13But by the time we were able to search, the gunman had gone.
35:16I think whoever shot Johnson wanted the money.
35:18But their plans were thwarted by the arrival of Roberts.
35:23Find something else?
35:24Not sure if it is relevant, but there was this cigar nub found in the alleyway.
35:27It seems recently discarded.
35:29I've seen that brand before.
35:33What am I looking at?
35:35Velvet from a caribou antler.
35:37I found it in Mr. Hughes' stomach.
35:39He was eating caribou antler?
35:42Have you heard that some people think that eating the heart of a lion will make them brave?
35:46Or that rhino horn will help them develop thick skin?
35:49Transference.
35:50Perhaps Mr. Hughes was so desperate to gain strength, he was consuming parts of animals.
35:56It's not uncommon in the world of patent medicine.
35:58Is caribou antler poisonous?
36:02No, but if it is kept as a trophy.
36:06It would be cured in formaldehyde.
36:13You thought you'd get your shot by shooting the champ, did you?
36:18You don't know what you're talking about. I'd never stoop that low.
36:21We know you were in that alleyway, Mr. Langford.
36:23That was before I came in.
36:26I stood there trying to visualize what I was going to say to him.
36:29What's that mean?
36:30I like to visualize my fights.
36:32In the ring and out of it.
36:35What happened after you were escorted out of the club?
36:38I went right to my hotel.
36:40Admit it, Langford. You tried to kill him.
36:43And you killed Aaron Willard when you mistook him for Johnson's.
36:45No. No.
36:46All right, then.
36:48Where were you at the time that Mr. Willard was killed?
36:53I did see Willard.
36:55I was filling up my car with gasoline around 10 that night.
36:58I was idling near the hotel hoping to run into Johnson.
37:01Willard was around back pumping his tires.
37:04That was close to the time of his death.
37:06That could be where the murder actually happened.
37:12Your son died of formaldehyde poisoner.
37:16Someone poisoned my son.
37:18I believe it was accidental.
37:19He was consuming caribou antler velvet.
37:22What in the hell?
37:24I just mounted this a couple weeks ago.
37:26As you can see, a piece of it is missing.
37:29What kind of fool?
37:30He didn't realize the formaldehyde used to preserve it would be fatal.
37:36I don't understand. Why was he doing this?
37:39To gain strength.
37:41I believe he felt great pressure to become more manly.
37:45What do you say?
37:46I'm just here to inform you of the results of the investigation.
37:50I've tried to straighten that boy out for years.
37:53That's what a father's supposed to do.
37:56Good day, Mr. Hughes. I'm very sorry for your family's loss.
38:11Sir?
38:14Blood here.
38:18I believe there's a fragment of a tooth here.
38:26This is where Mr. Willard was killed.
38:29Mind you, sir.
38:30Turn it up.
38:37Aye, aye.
38:42It seems to be a letter for Mr. Willard to Mr. Johnson.
38:46It says that he was worried that the cash would be confiscated if Jack was pulled in by the police.
38:52So he hid it in the coat.
38:55Perhaps he didn't trust Mr. Murray with the money either.
39:00Mr. Willard was here when he was incapacitated.
39:04His assailant killed him with an overdose of chloroform.
39:12Whether Mr. Willard gave up the location of the money or not before he died,
39:16everything the killer needed was in the letter.
39:20The murderer then wrapped the weapon in a boxing glove
39:23to make it seem like Jack Johnson murdered his friend.
39:29I bet the bug has been after this coat the whole time.
39:32But it never leaves Jack's back.
39:34Sir?
39:42I know who killed Mr. Willard.
39:51I'm surprised to see you here.
39:53Come to see the champ knock someone out.
39:55I'm here as a morality officer.
39:57Mr. Johnson's reputation may attract less than savory individuals.
40:02Of course.
40:04Have a seat.
40:10Hey, Joe.
40:12Where you been?
40:13Just getting business done like usual, Jack.
40:17Noticed you weren't at the show last night.
40:20I seen you put on that show a hundred times now.
40:22I could tell those stories myself.
40:24That so?
40:25You heard someone took a shot at me.
40:27Yeah.
40:28But you're okay, right?
40:30Only by the grace of God?
40:32It was actually the stacks of dollar bills sewn into your coat
40:36that saved you, Mr. Johnson.
40:38My money was in the coat.
40:39How did it all get in there?
40:40Willard hid it for you to keep it safe.
40:42But someone killed him for it.
40:45Who might that be?
40:48It was you.
40:51Mr. Spencer.
40:53What?
40:54No.
40:57You used your camera tripod.
40:59You put a boxing glove on the end of it.
41:02And you killed Mr. Willard.
41:04And this piece broke off.
41:06That's why you were carrying around the camera.
41:08I thought it was odd at the fight.
41:10But now it all falls into place.
41:13You're under arrest.
41:18No.
41:25There's nowhere to run.
41:28I didn't mean to kill him.
41:29He just wouldn't tell me where the money was.
41:32You gave him too much chloroform and it stopped his heart.
41:35That idiot.
41:37He was loyal even though Jack was gonna leave us.
41:41Give yourself up.
41:44I'm sorry, but I have to.
41:48He put his hips into that one.
42:00I'm gonna miss you terribly Effie.
42:01You'll have forgotten about me by the time you're halfway across the Atlantic.
42:05Not soon.
42:06Come with us, won't you?
42:08You have another story waiting for you Lucille.
42:10Just remember to stick up for yourself with Jack.
42:12He may have all the money and all the fame, but you are worth something.
42:17Don't forget it.
42:18Hey honey.
42:19Hi.
42:21Effie.
42:23Constable.
42:23Those men you worked for turned out to be all right.
42:26But you're the one who had my back.
42:29Just doing my job, sir.
42:30Don't call me sir.
42:32It's Jack.
42:33Watch him.
42:34Teddy.
42:35Teddy.
42:36You're a good one.
42:37Remember, those people that want to bring you down, don't exist.
42:42Keep on being that trailblazer.
42:46Goodbye.
42:48In your game, baby.
42:50Thank you, darling.
43:04Raw, you're free to go, Mr. Linkford.
43:06You should know the information you provided helped us to apprehend Mr. Spencer.
43:11So Johnson's off to Paris already.
43:13Yes, he and his wife left this morning for Montreal where they'll board the steamship.
43:18Are you sure you want to get in a ring with Johnson?
43:20I'm not sure there's a man on earth that could beat him.
43:23I just want my shot.
43:27Crikey.
43:28Now that's the hardest punch I've ever seen.
43:31That's 9.09% more than Mr. Johnson.
43:36I need one more time.
43:39That's good.
43:49Please show me.
43:50I'm not sure you're going to be in the sky.
43:50There we go.
44:03I love you, man.
44:05I think you've got to be there.
