FREDERICK: What's that, sir?
:46:03
Want of feeling.
:46:05
He knows everything about anatomy
and nothing about the soul.

:46:10
How may I assist you, lnspector?
:46:12
Forgive my ignorance, but...
:46:15
...are you a surgeon?
:46:17
I was.
:46:18
Unfortunately,
I suffered a brain seizure six months ago.

:46:22
-I'm sorry to hear that, sir.
-These days, I limit myself to teaching.

:46:27
So you see, I'm accustomed to
answering questions, lnspector.

:46:35
FREDERICK: Could you tell me
what sort of a knife this would be?

:46:45
[Chuckles]
:46:46
I think you mean to draw a Liston knife.
:46:49
It's named for Liston,
who was a surgeon in the Crimean War.

:46:53
Because there was
no anesthetic on the battlefield...

:46:55
...he had to carry out
his amputations very quickly.

:47:00
Do you, by any chance,
have the police surgeon's report available?

:47:03
FREDERICK: Yes, I do, sir.
SIR WILLIAM: May l?

:47:06
FREDERICK:
You must keep this confidential.

:47:08
SIR WILLIAM: Of course.
:47:12
Thank you.
:47:26
[Coughs]
:47:28
Wouldn't someone
have heard their screams?

:47:30
Not if he cut their throats first.
:47:33
Yes.
:47:35
How can you be sure they wouldn't
react to seeing the Liston knife?

:47:39
Grapes.
:47:42
He offers them grapes first.
:47:45
-Grapes are very tempting.
-They'd gobble them up.

:47:49
He might offer them a drink
to ease them down.

:47:52
A drink laced with laudanum.
:47:56
SIR WILLIAM: How do you know that?
:47:58
I found a sprig of grapes
on both victims' bodies.
