Miss Scarlet

(dramatic music) (bell rings) Good morning, sir. I'm a private detective working a case and will pay you handsomely to look the other way. You're a what? Word will soon spread that my father has died. If I don't take this case, someone else will. -

William

I'm surprised you haven't changed the name to your own. Miss above the door? That will be a sure way never to have any clients. The streets of London are not what they once were. The city has changed, the crime, the filth. Chasing criminals is no job for a lady. It should be left to the police. You're a private detective. I've had no choice but to take the law into my own hands. (dramatic music) I found something most interesting. It looks like dried blood. My clever girl. Being a detective is a job for a man. And yet you do it every day, William. -

William

This is my line of work, not yours. If I'm to make a name for myself, I need as much experience at crime scenes as possible. (glass clinks) Why do you put with her anyway? He will never allow you to work with him. You've taken a shine to this woman, have you not? You can handle everyone. I cannot handle you. A lady should always act like a lady. (woman screams) On the subject of my fee, it's gone up. That's blackmail. That is business. You are the most stubborn woman that I have ever met. -

Eliza

I have an idea. -

William

So do I. I'll listen to yours if you listen to mine? What happens when you catch your villain? Do you hit the scoundrel with your purse? Trust me. I know what I'm doing.
