Drama after dark
masterpiece
Miss Scarlett and the Duchess
)
Do you think those frosted glass doors with names on the outside are the only authority of detectives? Because I won't lie to you, reader: I kind of want it. Why should I speculate on the door? Well, at the beginning of episode 3 it was a little unknown: Victoria Mars sat in her office for a few hours, hoping in vain for someone to come. In the end, she discovered the adult’s prank mode, hoping to find a detective foot outside the door. Is it a citizen in need? No, this is Duke Silver, and he doesn't seem happy to be here.

Hi, sorry, I am late, I have been working on the case.
gh, a box of whiskey?
Are you always so rude?
Only for customers who are two hours late.
Sorry, I didn't come home tonight, I was rude.
Well, tell me what you want to say.
Scotland Yard wants to hire you. starting today.
great! So exciting! This will be very suitable for business!
Well, you are the best man for this job. In any case, there are some disturbing political groups in this city, and I want you to infiltrate them and tell me what you found.
Which group? We may never know, because the details are in one of many crumpled, suspiciously stained papers loosely stuffed in the pockets of Duke Silver's drunk man. Finally, he extracted the page he was looking for.
What are they doing illegal?
Nothing, but they are becoming super dumb and radical. This is a good opportunity for you, don't let it slip past your fingers.
Group? You guessed it: those are those nasty suffixes. History students may remember, yes, British women’s political participation groups will definitely suffer a bit of violence, but given that their cause is just, the host can only say yes
.
Back home, our good friend Victoria Mars put on the most beautiful dress and mother’s wedding ring to prepare for undercover, because “I’m a married high-class white lady, I want to be the first The authenticity of a voter. The shopping Ivy is a little confused by this fashion statement.
Uh, did you secretly get married when I was away? What gives?
Oh, this old thing? No, this is a case. I want to go undercover.
Whether your boat floats on the water. What do you say about this flyer?
It says that we should have the same rights as men!
gh, care, I am too tired to participate in politics.
If we can't vote, we won't have a say, and the whole system will stink. For example, if you are a man, you will be taught to read flyers yourself.
Well, if you like these ladies so much, why not marry them?
When I am ridiculous, stop pointing it out! However, if you must know, today I have decided to update my position from "Chaos" to "Legal": I support them, but they should follow the rules. If they keep going forward, I will have nothing to report to Silver Silver and the boys!
Oh yes, we all know that the police will not lock up any innocent people.
I love you, goodbye
At the Women's Suffrage Conference, Victoria Mars looked a bit out of the sea.
Sorry, I am a little nervous!
No, I’m Flora, the shopkeeper.
Like a real beginner, Victoria Mars arranged her entire fabricated story as "Alice Morgan" (
Fans? ). The husband is a lawyer. Two dogs. Flora must get used to being a freak and/or spy, because she just let it go, and welcomes "Alice" to the meeting and introduces its chairman Margaret. Margaret is somewhat owned. Her message is: Women are overworked, and those who attend meetings are privileged people who can spare time to chat during the day. Nothing has changed, because people will not listen: the time for conversation is over, it is time to become radical.
On Friday, Parliament will pass a bill on our property rights. So we are going to face them there!
Before she could clarify further, the bean of a police officer who must be exhausted entered and interrupted: their carriage blocked the street.
What's the big deal? This is an alley with no traffic.
Don't let me ask you again, or I am quoting the rules of kindergarten teachers. Move them.
No, don’t you have a better choice for your time? Do you like your job?
Stop talking, or I will take you to the station.
Then arrest me, nerd.
Oh, hey, don't I know you?
Yes, I think you brought back my lost dog last week! Can we talk outside?
In the alley, she explained the situation, but unfortunately PC Stringbean did not buy it.
you? secret? Lol.
Dude, we have met before, why are you doing this?
Because I thought you were one of the favorite ladies of Silver Duke Silver! Anyway, I am going to do my job.
Well, because this interferes with active investigations, I don't think this is really doing your job, right?
Touching the police is illegal! Although I guess you may have met the police several times, right?
For Victoria Mars, this was too much. He smashed the PC Stringbean with his tired face and fists, just in time for the rest of the Senate team to come out and take a look. The cover was consolidated and our friend was dragged into prison.
Look, let me explain before you go crazy.
No! You stole carbonated drinks, wait!
What a pity, you have to listen to this! Your police officer is a nasty pig!
You can only listen to the meeting, and not participate in FISTICUFFS with officials.
You should scold him.
Oh, I see, so do you want me to be a knight in shiny armor when I need it, and treat you like a man the rest of the time? Are you a lady or a detective?
I don’t ask if you are a man or a detective, am I?
Yes, because I can seamlessly execute these two at the same time. I am a Jedi master.
You have lady makeup on your collar, and you are drunk now, Yoda!
I am also responsible.
During the battle, Victoria Mars drove out of the area and ran into Senator Margaret.
Therefore, it seems that you only need to fight with a man or a spoiled lustful child...
The same thing, right?
I think they are charging you. when will you
Only pay attention.
Damn girl, well done. Look, we have a committee meeting this week, and I think you are just joining our partner.
Um can't
Everyone else is boring, man, we need new people like you!
Does your husband have a problem? Worried about what he would say?
Incomplete.
Well, there are always people destroying things, believe me, I know. I wanted to go to university, but my father refused, so I had to let myself go to school. I have a degree in chemistry, but no qualifications, because women are not even allowed to graduate. Things can change, but we must do it.
I am not the person you think
Who cares, no one cares. Come on Tuesday, we need you.
Arrived on Tuesday and discovered that our friend Victor Victoria Mars was only showing up at the committee meeting later, where she was not fully welcomed with open arms.
Oh, it was you.
Yes, Margaret invited me!
Well, she didn't say anything to me. She also didn't tell me where she was. I assume you know?
Obviously, Victoria Mars didn't, but it seems we might get the answer because of who is here, but PC Stringbean and Duke Silver!
So, do you know where Margaret is?
No, and who are you?
I’m Detective Inspector Silver (Silver Duke Silver), please wait a moment, what is Victoria Mars doing here?
She told us that her name is Lvyou!
What to do then? There was a corpse in the morgue. Witnesses saw Margaret shot him and put it down.
Then who is he
There is no clue. All I know is that your new friend is wanted for murder. The real question is where did she go?
No physical identity? Didn't it help? If I keep asking you questions, will you stop ignoring me like a bastard?
Look, you are the last person to see my suspect, so I need you to sit there and write your witness testimony.
No need, I want Sherlock Holmes to look up at his body. Chemical stains on cuffs-maybe a pharmacist?
You are the worst, you are trying to dive into the investigation!
Not! I am safer in front of your police!
Before they started arguing like nasty children, the morgue bureaucrats from last week rushed in and started complaining about the female invasion of Victoria Mars.
Oh my goodness, chill, I've been here before and I'm fine.
Please everyone, shut up, I can work.
If she wants to come here, you must sign a form.
And it doesn’t seem complacent, Victoria Mars, I miss you too.
Don't be silly, I am the only one who has seen your suspect. you need me! You hired me, so you must trust me!
wrong again! I'm a playboy, I can't go, I thought you need a job.
what.
I am a friend!
That's great, don't expect me to help.
Great, look forward to it. In any case, I can solve the case by myself-the deceased is obviously her lover, this is a crime of passion.
Oh, Duke, you are fine, but you are simple. I think this is why you are angry with me.
Oh, morgue bureaucrat! Kick this lady out!
Annoying, but what are you going to do? Victoria Mars returned to her office, but was caught by the neighbor/friend/contractor Herr Hildegard.
Hi Vic, do you have a second one?
I have a few seconds, I assume you are about to make a request. How is this going?
There is a strange case in the newspaper this week. A parrot was found poisoned at the murder scene-why is this?
Well, I haven't read this paper yet, but I'm sure I will learn some theory. We can talk on Wednesday.
Today is Wednesday!
Righto, it sounds great, please say it later, goodbye!
She fled inside and had a fantasy conversation with Papa Mars.
rude. Yes, Hildi will overcome it, but Duke Silver may not. You need his help.
Why can't he just trust me? This is not fair!
Well, that's whiney and women. And don't be angry, because you are the one who imagines this kind of conversation. Yes, this is a double standard, that is, when a woman is angry, she is considered hysterical, but you can win him by facts.
Victoria Mars was not content to annoy a male friend of hers and went straight to the salon to chat with Moses, just in time to blackmail him in the form of "I saw you pickpocket that guy, man". Since this is all their dynamics, he is used to it now.
Well, what do you need this time?
I am working on a murder in Scotland Yard and need help.
Lol, so ask them!
You know it's not that simple.
there has never been. Interesting
Obviously, their work was successful anyway, because Victoria Mars went to Scotland Yard to share some information with Silver Dulfer, even if he didn't want to hear it. This is a deal: Margaret has been pawning her own things for a living for the past few years. She has been living under a pseudonym and recently fell out with her brother (maybe more information). The brother can also be found in the residence of Victor Mars, and she did not come here to wipe the nose of Silver Duke Silver: she just wanted his respect.
Therefore, he is a barrister: we must figure out our story before entering there.
Don't break the record, but this is a gentleman's club: you will not be allowed to enter.
Yes, but I am with you, right?
error. If I bring you in, it will become a complete commotion and I will not be able to interrogate him.
You are right.
You did a great job. Update later.
At the club, Silver Duke accompanied the aforementioned brothers.
Hey-want to chat with your sister?
No.
Sorry, this is urgent, so...
I haven't seen her in years, don't know where she is, don't want to talk about her. Goodbye!
Well, this is the deal. We can talk here or let my guy arrest you in the most embarrassing way.
Margaret's brother got into trouble and finally poured the tea (well, brandy): it was a shame that she used all family money to fund election campaigns and sued clubs like this to treat them differently! He blamed Margaret's organization on their father's death and explained that he had cut her allowance. He didn't know anything about her personal life, but she was a "fanatic" and would not hesitate to attack those who hindered her.
This news is not good news for Victoria Mars. She was shot and greeted by the woman after she returned to the office.
spy? I am very annoying. And left a deep impression.
Well, speaking of this, Duke Silver will be here soon.
Guess again, friend-he is going to the club to spice up with my brother.
Yes, come here again; since women are banned, I cannot accept it.
If he wants, he can't let you join?
Let's talk for a while-who is the dead man?
Just another bastard. Eventually I will get myself back. But first I need your help, which is why I am here. I have left a deep impression on you, but unless women get equal rights, you will not be able to achieve what you deserve. I don't mind dying for what I did, but I am honored for it. Men need to know what I have to say, they will hear it in protest.
Will you go again? No one else in the group will be there!
I don't need it but you can come. Join me!
Yes, I can't.
At least give me a chance to do something good before going to prison. Don't tell anyone about this plan!
Later, the Silver Duke did stop updating: the siblings hated each other, so Margaret changed her last name. However, Victoria Mars was a little bit divine, and Duke Silver noticed.
Oops, man-I'm just here because this is your leader. How is this going?
No.
Okay, there are some things, but you won't tell me. got it. In any case, Margaret has been angry for a long time: she hates not allowing her to enter the club. The younger brother thought she was all right. I don't know who the deceased is, but I still believe that this is a lover.
Okay, can you tell him if he doesn't have a hinge?
How can I say it? You didn't tell me anything
No.
Great, but I need your help to interview the ladies of the committee.
Do I have to?
Yes, if you want to get paid.
Hey brother, you have a messenger here.
Do this job, or I won't pay you.
Outside the hall, the plot thickened. There is a man here, but he is not a messenger. He is watching Victoria Mars here, but Ivy doesn't trust him and wants Silver Duke to review him. Hmm, Ivy? We all know (and are troubled by it), right? It was Moses, and Prince Silver was happy to interrogate him gently.
Hi, I came to Mars in Victoria.
why?
She owes me money.
find a job
why?
Dude, if you want to impersonate a nasty kid, you do well. I'll come back later.
Not so fast. I will pay you double the price so that you will never come back here again.
Yes, I don't think she would be like this.
I don't care what you think; it would be difficult to become a female detective without someone like you dragging her down: I know your criminal record.
Super cute, you are interested in me.
You should go now.
Duke Silver, do you really think your brandy mouth close enough to make Moses close? Or did someone buy your "I'm not a racist, I just don't like your background" behavior? Neither statement is correct. Moses left, but it was not without deliberately putting the bribe "Don't come back here" on the kitchen table.
During Suffragette's interrogation, Victoria Mars barely accepted an interview.
Yes, yes, but let's keep working hard: know where Margaret is?
will not. But her behavior is unacceptable-we are all following the law, not violence!
of course can
So do you agree? But are you like that? And lied about your name? ? ?
Did she mention owning other property?
Do not. But if she does, I will only tell the police. A real policeman.
How is the relationship?
What did I just say, man?
Some kind of sinus problem, Stringbean? I bet that the Duke of Silver is happy to redistribute you to a country with fresh air.
Anyway, Flora: If you don't help, I will keep you in a cell overnight without hesitation. Yes, I scared you.
Obviously, it can work. Victoria Mars told the Duke of Silver that no one knew where Margaret was, but they did know that she did not agree that Flora’s charity should be the group Donate.
So, everything is solved. Please pay me, I want to cancel this case.
Smart and violent is a dangerous combination.
I don’t know if I can speak of violence: they have fought for equality for 15 years.
Don't be fooled; Margaret is a rich woman, she may just not get enough attention or discipline to grow up.
How did you know
Because I know that many spoiled rich girls could have used more spanking.
My dad never hit
exactly. In any case, Margaret was obviously always weird: she was expelled from the university!
Wait a minute, wait a minute, Margaret wants to donate the female teachers of that school.
Why give money to those who kicked you out?
Unfortunately, we
About to become the weirdest
Split all the time, but let's take a moment to imagine it, right? In any case, the two went to school to talk about Marguerite with the grumpy old professor.
Yes, I remember her, she was the worst. No offense, but women in college have more trouble than they deserve. We sent her home out of immoral behavior.
Be specific, buddy.
She has an affair with the professor. Head of the Chemistry Department.
So she was sent home while he kept his job?
We need to talk to him.
You can see his picture on the mantle, but he has been a MIA in recent days.
And, to anyone’s surprise, on closer inspection of the photos, it is clear that the professor is currently in the morgue. The Duke of Silver and Victoria Mars went to his room to investigate and quickly found a home laboratory full of bomb-making supplies.
Where is the bomb? We also know the answer: voting in parliament. Duke Silver commissioned a group of people to search the area. Victoria Mars tried to apologize because she maintained obedience with Margaret on the DL.
Wait, won't you yell at me? You scared me. I must follow my conscience.
I have been dealing with moral dilemmas! grow up!
She knew exactly how I felt; she became like a woman in this era. I believe her!
And you don’t trust me, do you?
Of course I am!
Yes, except you took her over, like a fool.
My God, I'm easily deceived.
Correct. Go out now.
No, I mean, she knows I will tell you.
Throughout the town, a well-dressed man walked through a gorgeous old building with a new maid and explained her duties. You guessed it: the new maid is Margaret. They are in the club and will not let her in. Once she was alone, she started to work, hiding the bomb in a basket of cleaning supplies. After the task was completed, she got up and left, but was caught by Duke Silver and accepted for questioning.
Look, I know you will tell him: You are so desperate for his approval.
I'm not! We are partners!
Of course, except you can't come to arrest me, because the club does not allow women to participate.
carry on. You hope that all members of Congress must leave during the session and go to the club that will be blown up, right?
It's a pity that no one can see these bombs in action.
These bruises are fake, right? Did the professor hurt you?
Correct! He was actually a real dear, but he flinched and I couldn't have a loose ending.
Wow, that's really not cool.
No, it is not cool to betray a career like you. You are not a pioneer; you work for men and hope that eventually they will treat you well. It's a pity that I don't need you, you are selfish.
After Margaret was put on the cuffs, Duke Silver tried to cheer for Victoria Mars and told her that she shouldn't pay too much attention to what Margaret said, because you cannot change them by killing people Thoughts. In a law enforcement officer who used violence to win a world empire, he showed a bold statement, but it is certain, anyway!
Later, Duke Silver met with his boss, and I immediately disliked him. First of all, this guy confuses the descendants, the Irish and the socialists, that is, the dangerous and undesirable groups to be eliminated.
He then praised the work done by Duke Silver in this case and hinted that if he continues to disrupt life in this way, he will be promoted. Silver Duke Silver also completely omitted the work done by Victoria Mars in this case, again making me of the human list of feet. Guys, not cool!
In addition, Victoria Mars found that Ivy had a hard time doing laundry, a terrible task that was effortless and commensurate with the times, involving the actual washboard. But now it's time to take a break. Victoria Mars takes things into his own hands by teaching Ivy to read. I know that the harvest here should be that Victoria Mars is dedicated to helping people in his field. This is a good thing, but I can't help being troubled by this episode. It was not until 1918 that women in England had the right to vote, and even then there were only property owners over the age of 30. This was achieved in part through the work of sometimes dangerous radicals such as Margaret. What historical events will be involved in the case next week? Can the performance convince me that Duke Silver is more than just a worthless, rude, beautiful face? We must watch episode 4 to find out!
