Episode 176 - Murdoch Mysteries - "I, Murdoch” - Kaspar the Unfriendly Prussian
00;00;00;05 - 00;00;22;11
Mark
How a virgin. What's that? Exclaimed Mickey. Exquisite.
00;00;22;14 - 00;00;23;05
Sarah
Hey, maniac.
00;00;23;06 - 00;00;25;25
Mark
Hey, maniac.
00;00;26;03 - 00;00;27;15
Sarah
Welcome to Mystery Maniacs.
00;00;27;15 - 00;00;49;00
Mark
Mystery Maniacs is a comedy recap podcast dedicated to mystery TV. Each week we dig into an episode of a show, including the murders, the mayhem, the loonies, and everything else we love. But, boy, there's some things we don't love about this episode this week. Murdoch Mysteries I Murdoch Season two Episode eight. My name is Mark.
00;00;49;06 - 00;00;49;25
Sarah
I'm Sarah.
00;00;50;02 - 00;00;52;11
Mark
This is a spoiler podcast. We're going to ruin it.
00;00;52;11 - 00;00;54;26
Sarah
We're going to give it away. Now. We're not because it's not solved.
00;00;54;27 - 00;00;59;11
Mark
Doesn't matter if you let your kids ride around in giant robots with guns.
00;00;59;14 - 00;01;00;18
Sarah
You're a bad parent.
00;01;00;24 - 00;01;05;25
Mark
You're a bad parent, and they can listen to the podcast.
00;01;05;28 - 00;01;13;11
Sarah
So people who are good parents, who wouldn't let a small child wield a war weapon, shouldn't listen. Is that what you're saying?
00;01;13;12 - 00;01;20;18
Mark
I guess not, sort of. There's so many problems here for.
00;01;20;20 - 00;01;23;23
Sarah
So we really like we got some bones to pick.
00;01;23;25 - 00;01;26;05
Mark
It's just a weird episode.
00;01;26;07 - 00;01;36;23
Sarah
Before we dive in, just one quick announcement, the newsletter that comes out once a month is going to come out this week. If you're not subscribed, you should because there's always good stuff in it. Ally comes out once a month and there's no ads or stuff like that.
00;01;36;23 - 00;01;38;25
Mark
No link in the show now.
00;01;39;02 - 00;01;42;06
Sarah
Yeah. Okay. Ready? Yeah. I'm Murdoch.
00;01;42;08 - 00;01;56;26
Mark
I'm Murdoch. Original Air Date March 17th. St Patrick's Day 2009. Really? Ten years almost to the day before the pandemic. Directed by Lori Lind and written by Lori Spring. Two different stories.
00;01;57;02 - 00;02;11;06
Sarah
Before we dive in, I want you to tell me one thing. What is your biggest problem with this episode? And tell me briefly, not in detail, because we're going to dive into it, but what is your biggest bone to pick?
00;02;11;09 - 00;02;12;01
Mark
Time three.
00;02;12;09 - 00;02;13;24
Sarah
One, one.
00;02;14;00 - 00;02;20;14
Mark
Okay. Okay. If if I'm forced to pick one, two, not three. Mm hmm. I'm not going to mention the.
00;02;20;14 - 00;02;28;08
Sarah
No, no. Give me one. I don't want you to give everything away. I just want you to say what is the one thing that bothers you the most?
00;02;28;14 - 00;02;34;29
Mark
The one thing that bothers me the most about this episode is the fact that there is no solution to the murders.
00;02;35;03 - 00;02;43;28
Sarah
Okay. Which that is a bona fide thing for a show that is about mysteries, that they don't solve it. No, I think that's absolutely.
00;02;43;28 - 00;02;46;17
Mark
There's not even a Pyrrhic victory.
00;02;46;18 - 00;02;47;20
Sarah
No, no.
00;02;47;22 - 00;02;48;23
Mark
Or oppression.
00;02;48;25 - 00;02;54;12
Sarah
Oh, my one. Yeah. Is Enid. Yeah.
00;02;54;14 - 00;02;55;12
Mark
She is.
00;02;55;16 - 00;02;57;02
Sarah
She is a whole character.
00;02;57;02 - 00;03;02;05
Mark
So creepy, like, you know, And.
00;03;02;08 - 00;03;02;19
Sarah
I'm going to.
00;03;02;19 - 00;03;03;20
Mark
Say, and Enid.
00;03;03;20 - 00;03;06;17
Sarah
Is my one is as legitimate as yours.
00;03;06;20 - 00;03;11;08
Mark
Is in 3000 episodes. And by that, I mean three.
00;03;11;10 - 00;03;12;10
Sarah
Three, two. We are.
00;03;12;10 - 00;03;14;11
Mark
A third of the way through the Enid.
00;03;14;17 - 00;03;14;26
Sarah
Banks.
00;03;14;28 - 00;03;16;09
Mark
Saga already.
00;03;16;09 - 00;03;21;24
Sarah
Thank goodness. So the first thing we don't like about Enid is the first thing in the episode, which is her son.
00;03;21;28 - 00;03;28;07
Mark
Oh no. The first thing we don't like in this episode. No, no, no.
00;03;28;10 - 00;03;31;02
Sarah
Okay, you kick us off in.
00;03;31;05 - 00;03;36;00
Mark
I don't like this episode. It's called I Murdock.
00;03;36;03 - 00;03;37;19
Sarah
Which is a play on iRobot.
00;03;37;20 - 00;03;47;12
Mark
Which is from an asthma of group of short stories collected into a novel in 1950. I didn't realize it was so early.
00;03;47;14 - 00;03;48;01
Sarah
Okay.
00;03;48;08 - 00;03;58;08
Mark
Did you notice that the robot in question is a not a robot and B fails every robot class of robotic law.
00;03;58;11 - 00;04;10;16
Sarah
No, but I do remember being disappointed once I learned that it was basically a mechanical suit. And the episode was called AI Murdock. That he never got in it. Yeah, because I really wanted. And it should.
00;04;10;16 - 00;04;13;27
Mark
Have been called the automaton of Murdock or.
00;04;13;29 - 00;04;15;01
Mark
Birmingham.
00;04;15;03 - 00;04;27;00
Mark
But of course, you can't say that off the bat because that would've led away the end. But then we never find out who kills anybody.
00;04;27;02 - 00;04;29;12
Sarah
We've got some issues going on.
00;04;29;18 - 00;04;31;29
Mark
George, who's working the big desk?
00;04;32;02 - 00;04;32;09
Sarah
Yeah.
00;04;32;10 - 00;04;35;20
Mark
George is the only one doing any actual work in this episode.
00;04;35;25 - 00;04;40;23
Sarah
No. Know who Henry does? Some amazing detecting that we will get to in just a second.
00;04;40;25 - 00;04;49;04
Mark
That's true. Henry looks weird. I think he has, like, he's grown his hair or something, and he had to cut it or hide it. Or.
00;04;49;04 - 00;04;50;25
Sarah
So maybe he's playing another part.
00;04;50;26 - 00;04;53;13
Mark
Yeah, he looks very weird in this episode.
00;04;53;14 - 00;05;05;11
Sarah
Yeah. We get this little joke where Alwen, who's short because he's, what, eight, can't be seen over the big desks of the desk sergeant. So Crabtree sitting there reading the newspaper and hears a voice from nowhere and.
00;05;05;18 - 00;05;08;17
Mark
Saw a giant silver knife.
00;05;08;19 - 00;05;09;29
Sarah
Mm hmm. No.
00;05;10;02 - 00;05;14;28
Mark
That's actually more accurate to what he actually has than a robot.
00;05;14;29 - 00;05;15;27
Mark
Yes.
00;05;16;00 - 00;05;20;13
Sarah
And, of course, Murdoch being the kind person he is as well. Come on, let's go look.
00;05;20;17 - 00;05;21;01
Mark
Okay.
00;05;21;05 - 00;05;23;26
Sarah
Crabtree is like, kid, you're full of crap. Go away.
00;05;23;29 - 00;05;28;09
Mark
Well, he also says there's clues. Do you know where the word clue comes from?
00;05;28;13 - 00;05;30;05
Sarah
I do. You do? I do.
00;05;30;06 - 00;05;31;23
Mark
Oh, that's cool. Where's it from?
00;05;31;24 - 00;05;34;07
Sarah
Because I know where it comes from. Because I'm a knitter.
00;05;34;08 - 00;05;36;10
Mark
That's correct.
00;05;36;12 - 00;05;51;29
Sarah
And now people are like, Huh? Because the clue originally the word referred to the end of a ball of yarn. Something that you would pull to unravel a ball of yarn. Yeah. And it's from the yarn that. What's this face had in the maze with the Minotaur.
00;05;52;04 - 00;05;52;25
Mark
Yes.
00;05;52;27 - 00;05;53;19
Sarah
What's his name?
00;05;53;19 - 00;05;55;25
Mark
Perseus. Oh, yes.
00;05;55;28 - 00;06;00;10
Sarah
Okay, wait a minute. This is like the fact that you were supposed to be telling me about. You don't know.
00;06;00;11 - 00;06;05;21
Mark
No, I know. It was part of the labyrinth, and the hero in the labyrinth is given the ball of yarn.
00;06;05;21 - 00;06;07;01
Sarah
But you can't for his name.
00;06;07;03 - 00;06;08;26
Mark
I don't remember all the Greek names.
00;06;08;27 - 00;06;16;20
Sarah
Yeah, Rockne gives it to him. It doesn't come out of her, but like a spider, even though her name is correct me.
00;06;16;22 - 00;06;19;03
Mark
Moving on. Yeah.
00;06;19;05 - 00;06;21;12
Mark
It's going to be that kind of stuff.
00;06;21;14 - 00;06;24;14
Mark
It really did happen.
00;06;24;16 - 00;06;29;16
Sarah
Okay, so this kid comes into the station. You're working it. Do you go with him or do you tell him to bugger off?
00;06;29;18 - 00;06;36;14
Mark
I send a constable with him. Yeah, not a detective. Murdock's not doing anything. Apparently, James Murdoch does.
00;06;36;14 - 00;06;37;25
Sarah
Just check in the mail. Cubbies.
00;06;37;26 - 00;06;43;28
Mark
Oh, I see. It's shiny. Shiny. So obviously it was just Hunter. Why don't. Why aren't you in school?
00;06;43;29 - 00;07;01;07
Sarah
Where are your parents? Okay, so Murdoch goes down to the river with all men. We're all in. Has been fishing before dawn, so at least the kid gets up early. Yeah, I respect that. It's not even breakfast time yet. Yeah, and the kid says, I saw a big silver man. I heard a big bang.
00;07;01;10 - 00;07;02;03
Mark
Couple bang.
00;07;02;09 - 00;07;08;24
Sarah
Murdoch sees something reflect light behind a tree and says, Oh, it was just that.
00;07;08;26 - 00;07;09;26
Mark
I think it's a boat.
00;07;10;00 - 00;07;10;26
Sarah
What is that?
00;07;10;27 - 00;07;13;24
Mark
I think it's a boat. I tried to find out, but a.
00;07;13;24 - 00;07;14;24
Sarah
Boat.
00;07;14;27 - 00;07;18;17
Mark
Maybe a little man boat that hasn't been invented.
00;07;18;19 - 00;07;33;23
Sarah
That stood up on its end on the other side of a tree reflecting the sun. And there's something black to the right hand side that looks like a man standing there. I don't know what it is, but Murdoch looks at it and goes, Well, obviously it was just that, but I don't know what that is. Well.
00;07;33;25 - 00;07;35;13
Mark
They never complete that.
00;07;35;13 - 00;07;38;08
Sarah
So maybe somebody else sort of finding murder is.
00;07;38;09 - 00;07;38;26
Mark
No.
00;07;38;29 - 00;07;46;02
Sarah
I took a screenshot of it because I thought, well, maybe if I blew it up or adjusted or I don't, I could never figure out what it is.
00;07;46;02 - 00;07;49;10
Mark
I peered quite closely at my television and could not come up with.
00;07;49;10 - 00;07;53;21
Sarah
I thought maybe he would reach into the branch and go, Oh, somebody put a mirror of some branch.
00;07;53;21 - 00;07;56;18
Mark
Like there's a silver plate here. Yeah.
00;07;56;20 - 00;07;58;12
Sarah
How? Do something. I don't know what it is.
00;07;58;13 - 00;08;00;21
Mark
No, it's a giant space knight.
00;08;00;26 - 00;08;04;20
Sarah
Then a man drops dead on the street after a blind man hits him with a cane.
00;08;04;24 - 00;08;14;28
Mark
It is. It. It's like I read comic books, okay? And it is a trope in comic books to put in a caption box. Meanwhile.
00;08;15;00 - 00;08;16;11
Mark
Yeah.
00;08;16;14 - 00;08;26;01
Mark
And this cut is so abrupt and weird. I can see the meanwhile in the script. Yeah, like, I'm just like, Oh, really?
00;08;26;02 - 00;08;34;06
Sarah
But it's super realistic that Murdoch says, Come on, let's get you home for your breakfast. And then Murdoch has to pick up all and stuff because Alwen just goes walking off.
00;08;34;09 - 00;08;35;13
Mark
He just takes off.
00;08;35;14 - 00;08;36;13
Sarah
Because that's what kids do.
00;08;36;18 - 00;08;37;10
Mark
So kids just.
00;08;37;10 - 00;08;38;08
Sarah
Leave their stuff.
00;08;38;16 - 00;08;44;27
Mark
So a man is killed by a cane, by a blind man, and we know he's a blind man because he has little black glasses.
00;08;45;02 - 00;08;59;12
Sarah
And a cane that he's walking around. Yeah. And he hits them on the chin with it and he says, Aren't you? Can you see where you're going? And then realize these planes like, Oh, sorry, never mind. And they drop dead, pointing his finger. Ah, the blind.
00;08;59;14 - 00;09;01;22
Mark
Dog pointed finger.
00;09;01;24 - 00;09;02;25
Sarah
It's good corpse.
00;09;02;25 - 00;09;04;04
Mark
It is a good corpse.
00;09;04;11 - 00;09;05;06
Sarah
With the pointy thing.
00;09;05;06 - 00;09;08;12
Mark
Fortunately, we never find out who killed him. No.
00;09;08;15 - 00;09;09;26
Sarah
Who is the blind man?
00;09;09;28 - 00;09;17;07
Mark
No idea. Never did you notice the blind man is mentioned one more time, and then that is.
00;09;17;07 - 00;09;18;22
Mark
That's it. That's it.
00;09;18;27 - 00;09;44;28
Sarah
So the way that he's killed is that the cane is probably pneumatic in some way. Like a pellet gun. When the blind man hits dallimore on the shin with it, it injects the pellet into his skin. Yeah, and it's a little ball that is hollow, plugged with wax, and inside is prosthetic acid. Yes. This is a absolute direct reference to Georgie Marcos dying in 1978 with the umbrella.
00;09;45;03 - 00;09;46;27
Mark
Umbrella. And where did this happen?
00;09;46;27 - 00;09;55;13
Sarah
That happened in London. But it was it was rice and rice. And instead of plastic acid. Yeah, but the very same M.O..
00;09;55;19 - 00;10;00;05
Mark
By the way, you want to go down a rabbit hole, start investigating that. Who did it?
00;10;00;05 - 00;10;01;12
Sarah
Who? Georgie Marcos?
00;10;01;12 - 00;10;03;16
Mark
No, we know who George Markoff.
00;10;03;16 - 00;10;04;21
Sarah
It was Bulgarians. Bulgarian?
00;10;04;21 - 00;10;08;07
Mark
Yeah, it was Bulgarians. But it's, like, full of conspiracy.
00;10;08;09 - 00;10;10;16
Sarah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They never really solve that, right?
00;10;10;16 - 00;10;12;05
Mark
It's like. Yeah, it's.
00;10;12;05 - 00;10;15;06
Sarah
It's spycraft. Yeah. So he dies from.
00;10;15;06 - 00;10;15;19
Mark
So what?
00;10;15;19 - 00;10;17;21
Sarah
We're Triassic acid super fast.
00;10;17;21 - 00;10;24;19
Mark
But we're saying it's okay to not solve crimes in real life. Not not in.
00;10;24;19 - 00;10;26;00
Sarah
The show world. Now, come.
00;10;26;00 - 00;10;27;13
Mark
On. Okay.
00;10;27;16 - 00;10;33;22
Sarah
Yeah. I mean, I think the the inference is that he was killed by his employers.
00;10;33;26 - 00;10;34;11
Mark
Yes.
00;10;34;16 - 00;10;38;01
Sarah
That his employer arranged it. But it's never confirmed.
00;10;38;01 - 00;10;39;07
Mark
No, it's never confirmed.
00;10;39;13 - 00;10;42;02
Sarah
So Murdoch walks all when.
00;10;42;02 - 00;10;56;07
Mark
Home and when they're walking. We don't see Alan's mouth move, but we hear him because we're going to insert a line of dialog from Alwyn that relates to two episodes in the future.
00;10;56;07 - 00;11;17;03
Sarah
I never work with pets or animals or kids right there. Unpredictable. He's not a bad actor. No, but yeah, he reveals to Murdoch that his dad is dead. And then his mom used to work for the telegraph office and she was really good at it. But now she has to stay home to take care of him. Meaning his dad took care of him before he died while his mom was working.
00;11;17;03 - 00;11;18;24
Sarah
Hers are what.
00;11;18;29 - 00;11;23;07
Mark
The telegraph was not like a lucrative living.
00;11;23;11 - 00;11;24;11
Sarah
No, no, no.
00;11;24;11 - 00;11;26;02
Mark
It was. Well, they live in a shack, and.
00;11;26;07 - 00;11;32;28
Sarah
No women made good money. No. If they had to work, it was because they had to and they didn't get big salary.
00;11;32;28 - 00;11;34;29
Mark
Well, that's why they live in a tenement shack.
00;11;35;00 - 00;11;42;00
Sarah
Oh, that's what that is. Yeah. That multimillion dollar rowhouse. Oh, the two story, probably three bedroom brick.
00;11;42;05 - 00;11;43;00
Mark
Yeah. Yeah.
00;11;43;00 - 00;11;53;06
Sarah
With the beautiful porch and landscaping, life insurance. That's where widows live. Like you had to work life where their husbands died, but now don't have to. Yeah, she bumped him up.
00;11;53;07 - 00;12;02;22
Mark
This is totally, totally planned on Murdock's. There's a young woman in trouble with Damsel in distress. Yes. So Murdock is in.
00;12;02;25 - 00;12;07;02
Sarah
I think she sent all went out fishing, but not fishing for fish.
00;12;07;02 - 00;12;08;11
Mark
Fishing for men.
00;12;08;16 - 00;12;11;28
Sarah
Fishing for her dad.
00;12;12;00 - 00;12;14;26
Mark
George looks weird in this scene.
00;12;14;29 - 00;12;24;11
Sarah
I know. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. So Murdoch takes all in home. Meet her and then Henry just appears on his bike.
00;12;24;14 - 00;12;27;05
Mark
And looks really weird. How can you said that?
00;12;27;10 - 00;12;41;20
Sarah
But what's really weird is how does he know where Murdoch is? Murdoch didn't like, pick up the phone box and go, I'm following some strange kid home. I'll be back. Yeah, Like, I guess Henry just rode around until he found.
00;12;41;20 - 00;12;43;05
Mark
Them round the door. You found?
00;12;43;07 - 00;12;47;05
Sarah
He just went in every possible direction from the river. Murdoch.
00;12;47;05 - 00;12;49;24
Mark
Did Murdoch even tell anybody where he was going?
00;12;49;26 - 00;12;57;16
Sarah
Well, Crabtree knew because Cowan said where he saw the guy and he knew he was taking him back there. But that. That's amazing detective work on Henry's part.
00;12;57;16 - 00;13;08;24
Mark
So Henry and Murdoch leave and Enid, who and I'm going to get to this does not say her name. No, Mrs. Jones. Ms.. Me and Mrs. Jones, you.
00;13;08;25 - 00;13;09;17
Sarah
Got a single go.
00;13;09;20 - 00;13;10;10
Mark
Thing going.
00;13;10;10 - 00;13;13;11
Sarah
On. I got a thing with her. Do we like her?
00;13;13;13 - 00;13;16;00
Mark
She checks out his assets, he leaves.
00;13;16;05 - 00;13;21;15
Sarah
Totally checks out his ass, shoots him up and down the hall. She goes inside.
00;13;21;15 - 00;13;22;14
Mark
And down.
00;13;22;15 - 00;13;38;05
Sarah
Like a predator. But Murdoch gives them his business card and says, If you ever need help, it's a little flirty on his part. Yeah, he could have just dropped Ellen off safe at home and left.
00;13;38;05 - 00;13;41;12
Mark
He has clearly moved from dumpster kill to rebound town.
00;13;41;12 - 00;13;43;04
Sarah
Yeah. Boing, boing, boing.
00;13;43;04 - 00;13;51;05
Mark
What? I'm going to put this on you, if that's all the bad part about the episode. What is the best part of this episode?
00;13;51;08 - 00;13;52;03
Sarah
Myers?
00;13;52;03 - 00;13;54;26
Mark
Terence Myers.
00;13;54;28 - 00;14;06;10
Sarah
An old friend of ours, is here, says Crabtree. You know, the one with the Martian airship who chloroformed us? And he's just standing across the street with his stogie and his top hat.
00;14;06;11 - 00;14;18;17
Mark
Only a line that could come from Murdoch. I mean, the thing is, okay, like, that's a weird line. Okay? Now we can't spoil things.
00;14;18;20 - 00;14;19;20
Sarah
Now because.
00;14;19;22 - 00;14;25;21
Mark
We could say even stranger. What happened that that are all true.
00;14;25;21 - 00;14;35;18
Sarah
About 10 minutes is a funny way to refer to him. You know, the one with the Martian airship who chloroformed us? It's like, you know, the guy with the time machine who gave a Spanish fly.
00;14;35;18 - 00;14;41;03
Mark
You know that that doesn't happen. That's not a spoiler.
00;14;41;06 - 00;14;46;03
Sarah
It's the one with a Venusian snow sled who tried to grab us. That old friend.
00;14;46;03 - 00;14;47;17
Mark
Also noticed.
00;14;47;19 - 00;14;53;06
Sarah
That's that didn't happen. That didn't happen. The one with the hovercraft who stabbed us. That old friend. You know.
00;14;53;08 - 00;14;54;10
Mark
All those things.
00;14;54;16 - 00;14;54;26
Sarah
But he.
00;14;54;27 - 00;14;58;18
Mark
Said to listen to the whole thing, to make sure that.
00;14;58;21 - 00;15;03;11
Sarah
That's not a prediction. He's just standing over there and he knows they're going to notice them.
00;15;03;11 - 00;15;17;08
Mark
But now what we have to do, and this is for future episodes of Murdoch, when we cover them, whenever Terence Myers appears again, we must come up with a funny yes. Oh, he's the one with the Prussian murderer who didn't solve the.
00;15;17;08 - 00;15;41;09
Sarah
Murder, You know, the one with the flaming automaton. That isn't one. Yes. That guy. Yes. Yeah. May Julia shows up to inspect Dahmer's body. There's all these people hustling out down the street, covering each other's faces. Oh, don't look. Don't look. And they just leave him there, and she's, like, poking at him, and he's got his finger pointed out, like, cover the man up.
00;15;41;09 - 00;15;46;02
Sarah
At least they have a sheet. But everybody's just standing around being, Look, you lose.
00;15;46;02 - 00;15;50;06
Mark
I love how Terence Myers, the actor who plays Terence Myers.
00;15;50;08 - 00;15;51;14
Sarah
His name is Peter Callahan.
00;15;51;15 - 00;15;56;27
Mark
Peter Callahan goes from here happenstance if we know who he's like.
00;15;57;04 - 00;16;02;14
Sarah
I just happened to be hanging around. This happened and I saw that man die. And I was curious.
00;16;02;16 - 00;16;08;13
Mark
Ezra Dollar Moore Doll Moore inventor, mechanical engineer and professor of math.
00;16;08;19 - 00;16;10;04
Sarah
He has a great business card.
00;16;10;04 - 00;16;16;12
Mark
He does. He lives at 37 Wellington, which is, of course, ginormous bank now. Now downtown.
00;16;16;12 - 00;16;17;10
Sarah
I like the font.
00;16;17;11 - 00;16;22;29
Mark
It's a nice business in the banking district, the King Street Banking District downtown.
00;16;23;05 - 00;16;26;25
Sarah
Not only is he a mathematician engineer, he is a man who has a maid.
00;16;26;27 - 00;16;30;29
Mark
Mrs. EastWest Neat.
00;16;31;01 - 00;16;35;17
Sarah
She's a married woman. Mark Yeah, but he's good with his hands.
00;16;35;22 - 00;16;41;01
Mark
Good with his hands. The little bugger.
00;16;41;03 - 00;16;43;22
Sarah
I can't tell how she feels about him.
00;16;43;24 - 00;16;45;05
Mark
Oh, she's distraught.
00;16;45;06 - 00;16;50;25
Sarah
She's really upset when she says he's a little bugger. It's almost like she's talking about him as a son.
00;16;50;25 - 00;16;52;20
Mark
She's the man that he's gone.
00;16;52;20 - 00;17;03;03
Sarah
But then, clearly she likes his hands. So that's not son behavior. Yeah, So I don't know how she feels about him, but he does have some chalkboard.
00;17;03;05 - 00;17;06;05
Mark
Of this nonsense here. George. Yeah, George is like.
00;17;06;10 - 00;17;11;02
Sarah
Sir, I only pass, like, fourth grade math. It's like, I just want you to write it down, you idiot.
00;17;11;02 - 00;17;15;10
Mark
Just copy.
00;17;15;12 - 00;17;18;08
Sarah
Because you know Murdoch's going to be able to solve it.
00;17;18;08 - 00;17;21;21
Mark
Didn't teach anymore. He worked at Hammer ton industry.
00;17;21;22 - 00;17;22;29
Sarah
It's not Hammer Town.
00;17;23;00 - 00;17;26;05
Mark
Hammer town industry.
00;17;26;08 - 00;17;31;27
Sarah
Where his independent research was just blanketly funded so he could do whatever he wanted to.
00;17;31;27 - 00;17;40;20
Mark
Apparently having hung out with theoretical mathematicians for the last two years of my undergrad, they're weird like that.
00;17;40;22 - 00;17;41;29
Sarah
They just get money.
00;17;42;01 - 00;17;42;23
Mark
Sometimes.
00;17;42;29 - 00;17;47;14
Sarah
To just write on chalkboards. Yeah. And come up with things that are improbable and impractical.
00;17;47;16 - 00;17;53;28
Mark
I knew at least two who got hired at Microsoft to come up with ideas that was their job.
00;17;54;00 - 00;17;57;06
Sarah
That's a pretty cool job. But yeah, it's a lot of pressure. Yeah.
00;17;57;08 - 00;18;02;19
Mark
So he was material, you know, where that comes from. No relation to the planet Mercury.
00;18;02;22 - 00;18;06;09
Sarah
Is it does it, does it have a wishy washy attitude.
00;18;06;10 - 00;18;14;21
Mark
It's, it's a kind of thing related to Zodiac and stuff like that, but it's perceived to be wishy washy. He's Mercury.
00;18;14;23 - 00;18;18;11
Sarah
Your your mood and your attitude are easily changeable.
00;18;18;11 - 00;18;18;21
Mark
Yeah.
00;18;18;28 - 00;18;28;13
Sarah
Right. To the extremes. I think so. Hammerson is a generic industrial company that makes industrial machines.
00;18;28;17 - 00;18;32;10
Mark
I live in a practical world. Metal banks.
00;18;32;12 - 00;18;53;28
Sarah
The hallway that they're in is clearly like a government building or something. And but yet there's banging off in the distance. So there is industry going on. And Dallimore his job was just to come up with stuff apparently specifically a computer which black and read is surprisingly knowledgeable about.
00;18;53;29 - 00;19;00;28
Mark
Well, still, Murdoch gets to him about formula or Formula One. It's just so.
00;19;00;28 - 00;19;18;17
Sarah
Annoying. Yeah. When as you say Crabtree and me and he's is Crabtree and I. Yes, he's very pedantic. He doesn't need to do that anyway. When Murdoch says that he thinks the formulas would be used to control something going on and off, Crabtree says, Oh, like, like a computer, like switches in a computer?
00;19;18;23 - 00;19;18;28
Mark
Yeah.
00;19;19;05 - 00;19;26;16
Sarah
Like he's basically he's reading popular Mechanics or something, I think. So He's sharp until that rhubarb pie shows up.
00;19;26;23 - 00;19;35;04
Mark
Well, the rhubarb pie is step number two in Enid's plan. Evil plan to ensnare the Murdoch.
00;19;35;07 - 00;19;40;17
Sarah
I'm going to guess Alwyn didn't write that note. I'm guessing baked that pie.
00;19;40;18 - 00;19;42;28
Mark
He didn't go to school, so.
00;19;43;01 - 00;19;55;21
Sarah
He can't writer bake pies. I think she wrote that note, but she probably had him deliver it because, you know, he's eight, so he should just go wherever he wants to in a big city and I don't know, happened to him.
00;19;55;21 - 00;19;58;26
Mark
I absolutely love how George and and.
00;19;58;28 - 00;19;59;12
Sarah
Bracken.
00;19;59;12 - 00;20;04;14
Mark
Black and Reed are totally on the same page here. They're just like, yeah, we'll take care of this.
00;20;04;15 - 00;20;14;17
Sarah
You you should go investigate. Murdoch This is our basket. Now, Bracken Read takes a lot of pleasure in snatching that note out of his hand and reading it.
00;20;14;21 - 00;20;25;25
Mark
So now we have to compare who wins in the gift combination. The bullet spoon, which is what Julia gives him, or the rhubarb pie.
00;20;25;29 - 00;20;27;25
Sarah
Oh, the bullet spoon is way better.
00;20;27;26 - 00;20;29;18
Mark
The bullets food is way better.
00;20;29;19 - 00;20;30;02
Sarah
Yeah.
00;20;30;06 - 00;20;31;29
Mark
What is Murdoch lost his mind.
00;20;32;00 - 00;20;43;00
Sarah
He doesn't have to share it with anybody. Yeah, it doesn't go away when you use it. Like, come on. Way better when it's in that pie. In that pie.
00;20;43;00 - 00;20;46;28
Mark
So rhubarb, rhubarb. British people know what rhubarb is.
00;20;46;28 - 00;20;48;03
Sarah
Americans know rhubarb.
00;20;48;03 - 00;20;49;04
Mark
Yeah, I guess so.
00;20;49;04 - 00;21;00;11
Sarah
Rhubarb should I turn to Barb? But it is kind of a strong flavor with a little sour. Bitter could mask something pretty easily. I don't trust her. She's up to.
00;21;00;11 - 00;21;03;22
Mark
Stuff. The former, more of flirtation.
00;21;03;24 - 00;21;06;14
Sarah
It's not the flirty Morgan any know.
00;21;06;17 - 00;21;16;27
Mark
It's down to business. Isn't this weird? Let me explain everything. I may have answers, says Myers, Just appears out of nowhere again.
00;21;17;00 - 00;21;26;07
Sarah
He's so creepy. I can't figure out whether he's supposed to be super bureaucrat or superspy or.
00;21;26;09 - 00;21;27;27
Mark
He's a little Batman, too.
00;21;27;27 - 00;21;37;01
Sarah
Batman? Yeah, he's a little bit of everything, but neither of them jump and go, Oh, crap. It's Myers. Like, that's what I would have done.
00;21;37;01 - 00;21;37;17
Mark
I could point.
00;21;37;17 - 00;21;39;28
Sarah
To thrown a scalpel at him on a reflex.
00;21;40;00 - 00;21;42;25
Mark
For stomach milk in here, but you can't smoke in.
00;21;42;25 - 00;21;44;26
Mark
You know.
00;21;44;28 - 00;21;51;18
Sarah
He just appears out of nowhere. Wouldn't they be startled. I would have been high. Get it to my ear.
00;21;51;25 - 00;21;56;04
Mark
And I can't believe the whole national security thing is already banal.
00;21;56;06 - 00;21;58;23
Mark
Yes. Oh, no. I just know.
00;21;58;23 - 00;21;59;21
Sarah
He gets the urge to.
00;21;59;21 - 00;22;00;03
Mark
Save the.
00;22;00;08 - 00;22;02;12
Mark
World.
00;22;02;15 - 00;22;06;01
Mark
Stomach milk. It's a Prussian agent. Casper Baumgart.
00;22;06;05 - 00;22;12;13
Sarah
To Prussia. Is Germany kind of. Well, Germany is Prussia. Yes. Others? Yes.
00;22;12;16 - 00;22;33;24
Mark
Yeah. So Prussia is 15, 25 to 1947. Of course, it kind of disappears. Strange is the Second World War. Yes. It really doesn't have like it. It's not in its decline right now. This is 1896, but it's definitely knocked out a of time left.
00;22;33;26 - 00;22;45;22
Sarah
No, because isn't it run by a royal family? Yes. Which the soon to be born German state will not be tolerating. No, no. Though they do try to hold on for a while. Yeah. They don't succeed.
00;22;45;29 - 00;22;46;08
Mark
Yeah.
00;22;46;14 - 00;22;48;17
Sarah
They try to find their place but they don't get won.
00;22;48;17 - 00;22;53;22
Mark
When the Germans take over the royal families of Europe, which they're about to do.
00;22;53;25 - 00;22;55;14
Sarah
They may get ousted.
00;22;55;14 - 00;22;55;29
Mark
Yeah.
00;22;56;01 - 00;22;59;00
Sarah
But at this point. Kastor baumgart.
00;22;59;01 - 00;22;59;29
Mark
Baumgart.
00;23;00;04 - 00;23;19;06
Sarah
The secret Prussian assassin gets thrown under the bus because Meyers says it must have been him. He did it. I'll just give you a name. You go get him. And trust me, you don't need any evidence. And I love the way Crabtree explains his investigation into trying to find Baumgart. He says, Well, first I thought if I was Prussian, where would I go?
00;23;19;08 - 00;23;34;00
Sarah
But that was mostly the same places that I would go. Yeah. So that didn't work. That didn't work because, you know, Prussians are humans. So they would go most of the normal places. But then I thought the Prussian social club, that's some place he coat.
00;23;34;02 - 00;23;34;17
Mark
And he.
00;23;34;17 - 00;23;42;20
Sarah
Goes there and eats sausage and sauerkraut and he's like it was really good. Yeah. Okay. Did you find Baumgart? Oh no, he wasn't there.
00;23;42;21 - 00;23;44;10
Mark
But he found that information.
00;23;44;10 - 00;23;45;28
Sarah
About you like, starts and Pilsner.
00;23;46;02 - 00;23;47;17
Mark
Yeah.
00;23;47;20 - 00;23;49;20
Sarah
It just made me want sausage and sauerkraut.
00;23;49;23 - 00;23;52;02
Mark
So Meyers mentions Prussian consulate here.
00;23;52;03 - 00;23;53;03
Sarah
You don't like sauerkraut?
00;23;53;07 - 00;23;57;08
Mark
No, I don't. I don't like either. And I don't like eating it.
00;23;57;10 - 00;23;58;19
Sarah
So good down.
00;23;58;21 - 00;24;05;12
Mark
No. So he says Russian consulate. Prussian consulate. Do you know why he says consulate, not embassy?
00;24;05;15 - 00;24;11;27
Sarah
Because it's not an embassy. Because it's not the capital city. Yes. Right. So the embassy would be in Ottawa.
00;24;11;27 - 00;24;13;17
Mark
Ottawa, which is.
00;24;13;19 - 00;24;15;07
Sarah
A very exciting place.
00;24;15;07 - 00;24;16;11
Mark
City could be.
00;24;16;13 - 00;24;17;11
Sarah
Made completely of.
00;24;17;11 - 00;24;21;14
Mark
Embassy's kind of there's a lot of government buildings in Ottawa.
00;24;21;14 - 00;24;29;05
Sarah
Yeah. Yeah. Dahmer's office gets ransacked and we find out he gave his journals to Mrs. Easton for safekeeping.
00;24;29;07 - 00;24;30;02
Mark
Yeah, and.
00;24;30;08 - 00;24;33;24
Sarah
No, she didn't bother to mention that because she destroys.
00;24;33;24 - 00;24;35;16
Mark
That clock.
00;24;35;18 - 00;24;42;04
Sarah
Well, it's not running right, Mark. If it's not right, then it shouldn't exist. I'm going to break it.
00;24;42;12 - 00;24;48;10
Mark
So Murdoch opens the door, he notices things are ransacked. And what is the first thing he does?
00;24;48;11 - 00;24;49;08
Sarah
Grabs the clock.
00;24;49;08 - 00;24;52;02
Mark
No, this is it. Before that.
00;24;52;05 - 00;24;52;24
Sarah
I don't know.
00;24;52;25 - 00;24;56;25
Mark
He takes his hat off. Oh, why does he take his hat off?
00;24;56;28 - 00;24;59;03
Sarah
I don't know. It's because he's inside.
00;24;59;03 - 00;25;00;07
Mark
It struck me as weird.
00;25;00;07 - 00;25;01;01
Sarah
Should take it off.
00;25;01;01 - 00;25;03;11
Mark
But I wasn't talking about the clock.
00;25;03;16 - 00;25;10;00
Sarah
But damn. Or made that clock. And she loved him. And that was like, the only thing left.
00;25;10;04 - 00;25;14;28
Mark
Yeah. And nurse's journals and a letter to the president.
00;25;14;28 - 00;25;15;27
Mark
Yeah.
00;25;16;00 - 00;25;18;08
Mark
Trust no one. It was Mulder.
00;25;18;15 - 00;25;40;05
Sarah
Yes. Okay. Why? I mean, he got killed, and she didn't think that those would be evidence. No, Just hold on to his, you know, don't. Don't trust anybody. No matter who they say they are. And obviously, he he was working on the difference engine, the computer to run the automaton for the Canadian government on behalf of Hamilton.
00;25;40;08 - 00;25;41;21
Mark
Can my 2 minutes. Yeah.
00;25;41;23 - 00;25;42;11
Sarah
Yeah.
00;25;42;14 - 00;25;55;05
Mark
Okay. You can't mention Babbage's engine without mentioning Ada Lovelace, right? It is impossible. Right. And you shouldn't be doing it. No, you should be calling it Babbage and Lovelace's engine at the very least.
00;25;55;05 - 00;25;57;11
Sarah
Yes, because she deserves as much.
00;25;57;11 - 00;26;03;18
Mark
She deserves as much credit as Babbage. And I would say that Babbage would probably agree with us.
00;26;03;20 - 00;26;04;15
Sarah
Oh, I think so too.
00;26;04;17 - 00;26;05;22
Mark
So that's fine too.
00;26;05;22 - 00;26;07;18
Sarah
But that's I did take it you to good job.
00;26;07;25 - 00;26;13;19
Mark
I'm a big fan of Ada Allen would be a massive computing machine. I just use a slide rule.
00;26;13;19 - 00;26;21;22
Sarah
The abacus works for me. So Alan's missing and the entire city police force is off looking for him.
00;26;21;23 - 00;26;24;08
Mark
Sort of, whenever it's convenient.
00;26;24;10 - 00;26;27;22
Sarah
It's so many constables down by the river looking for.
00;26;27;22 - 00;26;32;15
Mark
I have in my notes later on. Isn't there a missing child you should be looking for?
00;26;32;15 - 00;26;55;00
Sarah
But initially everybody goes, Yeah, how do they just dedicate all of these officers to looking for one kid? Yeah, I mean, if it was my kid, I would want everybody looking too. But keep our eye on your kid. You'd think after that, the same morning he was down by the river and heard guns going off. At least you'd keep him a little bit closer to home.
00;26;55;00 - 00;27;01;16
Sarah
But now he's missing. And he's not a kid that you should let off on his own because he's dangerous.
00;27;01;19 - 00;27;07;15
Mark
Wait a minute. We have to insert a thing about robots and machines running themselves. Okay, back to the story now.
00;27;07;18 - 00;27;22;20
Sarah
Can I tell you about that for a second? Yeah. Before they find the person of small stature who has drowned. Yes, I am already thinking Mechanical Turk. Yes. And then they find him, and it's like, Oh, of course, Mechanical Turk.
00;27;22;22 - 00;27;32;22
Mark
So there's a whole history of automatons. And these are two things. One, they're machines that do little simple things that are mechanical.
00;27;32;22 - 00;27;33;19
Sarah
They're clockwork.
00;27;33;19 - 00;27;35;02
Mark
They're like clockwork.
00;27;35;05 - 00;27;46;15
Sarah
So there were automaton dolls that pretended to draw or conduct music. A music box is an example. Yes, it has, like a dancer. Anything Like the.
00;27;46;16 - 00;27;49;28
Mark
Things that were made in previous centuries are amazing.
00;27;49;28 - 00;28;06;00
Sarah
They're amazing. The Mechanical Turk is a fake. It was an automaton that was claimed to be a chess master when in actuality there was an actual short man underneath the table controlling it. Yeah, and playing chess. And he was a good chess player.
00;28;06;05 - 00;28;08;11
Mark
That's a machine. Well, it's not really.
00;28;08;12 - 00;28;10;00
Sarah
No, I know that machine.
00;28;10;04 - 00;28;11;07
Mark
It's a puppet.
00;28;11;07 - 00;28;16;26
Sarah
It's a puppet? Yeah. Controlled by a person. Yes. And this robot is the same way?
00;28;16;26 - 00;28;18;09
Mark
Yes, It's a giant Muppet.
00;28;18;11 - 00;28;20;20
Sarah
Because big little men.
00;28;20;22 - 00;28;21;02
Mark
Yes.
00;28;21;10 - 00;28;30;18
Sarah
They find in the river was driving it. Right. And so he was poisoned with acid by a mysterious person. We never figure out.
00;28;30;19 - 00;28;31;08
Mark
Yes.
00;28;31;11 - 00;28;39;15
Sarah
However, there was a robot in Canada at this time. That is way more impressive than these fake automaton.
00;28;39;17 - 00;28;42;25
Mark
That is not the same robot that's mentioned at the end of the episode.
00;28;42;26 - 00;28;49;02
Sarah
No, in the world, in that fictional book that he gives Alan No, that book is based on this real robot.
00;28;49;02 - 00;28;50;02
Mark
That's right.
00;28;50;04 - 00;28;54;29
Sarah
The real robot was in 1868. Wow. It's way before this.
00;28;54;29 - 00;28;56;06
Mark
Yeah, like 20 years now.
00;28;56;06 - 00;29;07;14
Sarah
They were still 30. They were still sort of around. Yeah, but they didn't take off. But they were invented by a guy. A guy who's got such a great name. His name is Zadok Detrick.
00;29;07;16 - 00;29;08;20
Mark
Seattle, Detrick.
00;29;08;25 - 00;29;12;23
Sarah
And he's not an evil scientist. Like if your name is Zadok.
00;29;12;23 - 00;29;13;08
Mark
Yes.
00;29;13;12 - 00;29;16;12
Sarah
He invented this steam powered man.
00;29;16;14 - 00;29;17;10
Mark
Yes.
00;29;17;12 - 00;29;20;24
Sarah
And it was basically a rickshaw driving robot.
00;29;20;25 - 00;29;21;07
Mark
Yes.
00;29;21;11 - 00;29;26;13
Sarah
It pulled a rickshaw like a little carriage behind it. But have you ever seen it?
00;29;26;20 - 00;29;27;07
Mark
No.
00;29;27;12 - 00;29;31;05
Sarah
So Xerox fear was that it would scare horses.
00;29;31;05 - 00;29;32;00
Mark
Which was a big.
00;29;32;00 - 00;29;42;17
Sarah
Problem. So he made it look as human as possible. It had a hat and a mustache and a vest and a jacket. It had legs. It's not on wheels. It's legs.
00;29;42;20 - 00;29;44;11
Mark
And they have photographs of this, right?
00;29;44;12 - 00;29;50;06
Sarah
There are photographs of it. We'll post one guess how fast it could go on flat road.
00;29;50;08 - 00;29;51;12
Mark
20 miles an hour.
00;29;51;17 - 00;29;52;10
Sarah
30.
00;29;52;11 - 00;29;56;04
Mark
Key. This At this point in time, trains can only go 45.
00;29;56;05 - 00;29;59;09
Sarah
Its entire torso was a furnace.
00;29;59;10 - 00;30;00;01
Mark
Well.
00;30;00;03 - 00;30;02;00
Sarah
Guess where the steam exhaust.
00;30;02;00 - 00;30;03;21
Mark
Was out of his, but.
00;30;03;22 - 00;30;05;14
Sarah
No, his nose.
00;30;05;14 - 00;30;07;24
Mark
Oh, good.
00;30;07;26 - 00;30;14;28
Sarah
Which is kind of weird, too. Yeah. He was in the process of inventing a steam powered stallion.
00;30;15;00 - 00;30;15;12
Mark
Oh.
00;30;15;19 - 00;30;35;10
Sarah
Which would have gone, he said twice as fast because they had four legs. Yes, He wanted to race a train, but he kind of lost funding and people were kind of freaked out by the steam powered man. So he gave up. But it is way cool looking. It is. But it's not. It's not a robot. No, it's a machine.
00;30;35;10 - 00;30;38;04
Sarah
You still had to steer it. Yeah. And control.
00;30;38;04 - 00;30;39;10
Mark
It's really an engine.
00;30;39;10 - 00;30;50;29
Sarah
Yeah. And control and speed. But it looked like a man running its legs or whack a doodle. You should. You wait to see it. It couldn't wear pants because they would get caught up.
00;30;51;01 - 00;30;51;23
Mark
Yeah.
00;30;51;25 - 00;31;12;22
Sarah
So from the waist up, he's dressed like a human man, but from the waist down, he's got these knobbly mechanical legs that end in shoes. It's really weird to see it moving fast. Would have been so freaky. I wish there was, like, a film of it I would love to see it would.
00;31;12;22 - 00;31;13;26
Mark
Have the scene feel.
00;31;13;27 - 00;31;38;21
Sarah
So wacky. Yeah. So long before this is set. There was already a robot that was way more impressive than the robots they claim to have. Except the idea is that the Prussian robot and the Canadian robot are actually automatons, meaning they are self controlled. Yes. Which we don't really have today necessarily. I mean, there are ones that can be programed to do tasks.
00;31;38;21 - 00;31;53;14
Sarah
Yeah. And the problems are things that they run into, but they're not capable of like marching down the street and deciding who to shoot now, which that Canadian automaton has machine guns for. And yes, so clearly it was.
00;31;53;16 - 00;31;55;28
Mark
It's a muppet. Remember, it's not all the time.
00;31;55;28 - 00;32;01;19
Sarah
I know, but they wanted it to look like an automaton with the ability to shoot bullets.
00;32;01;19 - 00;32;03;11
Mark
Asimov's laws of Muppet.
00;32;03;11 - 00;32;06;20
Sarah
Super Fast freaked me out.
00;32;06;23 - 00;32;15;22
Mark
This is the second little person reference in this season. Yeah, we looked up how to make reference to people of short stature and that is apparently.
00;32;15;24 - 00;32;16;27
Sarah
Not a person what.
00;32;16;27 - 00;32;19;17
Mark
They like to be called. Whatever.
00;32;19;18 - 00;32;22;06
Sarah
Probably not Universal, I'm sure was not universal.
00;32;22;06 - 00;32;32;28
Mark
We're not. We're trying to be inclusive as possible. I just want to point out that's weird. That's the second reference to little people already in a in a series and a season.
00;32;32;28 - 00;32;42;07
Sarah
Yeah, well, Meyers, among all of his other flaws, is a letter bug. He, of all people, should know not to leave his fancy cigar, but he's.
00;32;42;07 - 00;32;44;11
Mark
The worst spy in the world. Time.
00;32;44;15 - 00;32;54;20
Sarah
Like he's the only one who smokes Cuban cigars in all of Toronto and he leaves a butt behind with the label still on it. Like we take the label off of it.
00;32;54;24 - 00;32;55;14
Mark
Yeah.
00;32;55;16 - 00;32;57;22
Sarah
That's. That's poor spycraft.
00;32;57;26 - 00;33;04;06
Mark
MYERS Murdock also doesn't look after himself here. Should go home, have a sleep issue.
00;33;04;11 - 00;33;09;29
Sarah
Instead, he runs into Casper, the unfriendly president and his car.
00;33;10;01 - 00;33;14;11
Mark
Which is hilarious because we both had that in.
00;33;14;14 - 00;33;15;15
Sarah
The guy who.
00;33;15;15 - 00;33;18;23
Mark
Turns to you. Oh, never mind chloroform.
00;33;18;26 - 00;33;23;17
Sarah
The guy who plays bomb guards. Yeah. The actor's name is Chris Holden Reid.
00;33;23;21 - 00;33;24;05
Mark
Yes.
00;33;24;07 - 00;33;36;21
Sarah
And he looks exactly like the lead singer of Coldplay. He does. Mike's exactly like when I first saw him, I thought, how did they get the lead singer of Coldplay to guest star in a murdoch? That's incredible.
00;33;36;21 - 00;33;39;11
Mark
Yeah, but he's in another Murdoch. But he plays a different thing.
00;33;39;11 - 00;33;45;10
Sarah
He's a Canadian actor who's also a pentathlete. Yes. For like the Canadian Olympic team.
00;33;45;10 - 00;33;47;25
Mark
Yeah, I think so. Yeah.
00;33;47;28 - 00;33;50;10
Sarah
So he's no slouch, even though he's not in Coldplay.
00;33;50;12 - 00;33;55;20
Mark
Okay, I was wrong. The best part of the episode is in Terence Myer's. It's Murdoch's.
00;33;55;21 - 00;33;56;29
Mark
Is dirty.
00;33;57;01 - 00;34;23;20
Sarah
Oh, God. It's. It's chloroform, dreams. I don't know what chloroform makes you dream about, but usually it's not Gestapo. Julia We have ways of making you talk. Murdoch. I'm so glad that she doesn't have an accent. So he's dreaming about her wanting to know whether he has a crush on Enid. What is their relationship? So is that. What do you think that means?
00;34;23;20 - 00;34;24;24
Sarah
That he's thinking about that?
00;34;24;25 - 00;34;33;05
Mark
I think he's worried because he actually loves Julia still. And that this Enid, he knows Enid is on the rebound.
00;34;33;10 - 00;34;33;27
Sarah
Mm hmm.
00;34;33;29 - 00;34;40;22
Mark
That's why I think. Plus, he has the fantasies about Julia being dumb, and.
00;34;40;24 - 00;34;45;03
Sarah
I think he would. He would love to think that Julia would be jealous.
00;34;45;03 - 00;34;50;03
Mark
Yeah, I think he loves that idea. I don't know why she's dressed as a circus performer, but she's.
00;34;50;07 - 00;34;52;18
Sarah
She's not in reality. She's not?
00;34;52;18 - 00;34;53;26
Mark
No, she's not.
00;34;53;26 - 00;34;54;24
Sarah
At least not yet.
00;34;54;25 - 00;34;56;27
Mark
No. Get to the end of the episode.
00;34;57;00 - 00;35;02;13
Sarah
And if in a few episodes. Yeah. When she and Enid have that fistfight and she pops Enid in the face.
00;35;02;15 - 00;35;04;12
Mark
If all my.
00;35;04;15 - 00;35;05;21
Sarah
Peaks are down a cliff.
00;35;05;23 - 00;35;08;24
Mark
And the sad thing is amusing stories.
00;35;08;27 - 00;35;14;17
Sarah
And you think she's being tough on Enid, you just wait. She's not bad yet. Just wait.
00;35;14;18 - 00;35;27;05
Mark
This is over ten years old. Okay, so I'm not spoiling anything, but the resolution of the Enid situation, you feel nothing but sympathy for in it because of what Murdoch does.
00;35;27;05 - 00;35;45;22
Sarah
And I disagree. You feel that way because you're a good person. But I'm like, kick her while she's down. Kick her again. But we'll see. We'll see how people feel when we get there. Meyers has a brand new super fangled movie machine.
00;35;45;22 - 00;35;48;12
Mark
Film projector far beyond the kinetic scope.
00;35;48;19 - 00;35;49;23
Mark
It's amazing.
00;35;49;23 - 00;35;52;18
Sarah
Don't touch it. Don't touch.
00;35;52;18 - 00;35;59;03
Mark
It. What I want is behind the scenes footage of this. Filming this.
00;35;59;05 - 00;36;07;19
Sarah
Oh, filming the movie that they show. Yeah. The flaming automaton. It looks like it's on fire. It looks like a disaster. I don't know.
00;36;07;20 - 00;36;12;08
Mark
The director going cut. Not Prussian enough? No.
00;36;12;10 - 00;36;15;23
Sarah
His legs are too bendy. Walk stiffer, stiffer. Look more.
00;36;15;23 - 00;36;19;01
Mark
Prussian. The ultimate war machine.
00;36;19;03 - 00;36;34;17
Sarah
But it looks like an accident. Like it looks like the Hindenburg going down but on feet. I don't know what it's supposed to be, but clearly it will end the wars of wars. Because if we have those if we have an automaton and nobody can defeat.
00;36;34;17 - 00;36;39;02
Mark
Us, what's the best way to find Elwin to go flirt with his mom?
00;36;39;02 - 00;36;39;25
Sarah
Don't hurt.
00;36;39;27 - 00;36;42;26
Mark
Him.
00;36;42;28 - 00;36;44;07
Sarah
Because he'll find you.
00;36;44;09 - 00;36;51;06
Mark
This is where he says this guy. This is where Murdock says Enid. And she has never said that word.
00;36;51;06 - 00;36;53;22
Sarah
Are you saying that he psychically knows her first name?
00;36;53;22 - 00;36;57;13
Mark
I don't know how he knows her first name. It's not psychic. I don't think.
00;36;57;15 - 00;37;03;00
Sarah
Maybe Alwen told him my mom's name is Enid. You'll need to know that when you find. My brother.
00;37;03;03 - 00;37;07;11
Mark
There was a lovely woman in the campsite next to ours when I was growing up. They needed.
00;37;07;17 - 00;37;13;03
Sarah
Like, Ed with a knee in the middle. Yes. This footage, he.
00;37;13;03 - 00;37;16;19
Mark
Will be found.
00;37;16;22 - 00;37;30;06
Sarah
The footage? I don't even. So I guess what we're supposed to think is the Prussians are pretending to have battle automatons, and so they have filmed it and then accidentally let the Canadians get their hands on it.
00;37;30;06 - 00;37;32;25
Mark
And we learn that in the spy versus fighting.
00;37;32;25 - 00;37;39;00
Sarah
Yes, but how much interaction with the Canadian government in the Prussian government actually had.
00;37;39;02 - 00;37;46;24
Mark
This moment in time? No one, including the Americans, think the Canadians are anything but cannon fodder for the British.
00;37;46;25 - 00;37;48;03
Sarah
Okay. Okay.
00;37;48;04 - 00;37;49;17
Mark
I do not think that's.
00;37;49;17 - 00;37;55;06
Sarah
What I thought, too Yeah. Not all of those Canadian superpowers. They're going to have to realize.
00;37;55;06 - 00;37;59;17
Mark
Kevin Foster, even 20 years old at this point, 30 years old at this point.
00;37;59;19 - 00;38;26;05
Sarah
Barack and Reid calls Miers a supercilious sod. And that is such an awesome insult. Yes, supercilious sort could. Then we have a spy versus spy scene where they have to confront each other and actually both admit that they were both faking having automaton play with Miers actually admitting something. No, we don't actually have those. We have metal suits that we put short people in and make them drive them around.
00;38;26;11 - 00;38;29;11
Mark
Well, let's go to hammer, too, because it's hammer time.
00;38;29;13 - 00;38;31;15
Sarah
Hammer time and hammer ten.
00;38;31;17 - 00;38;36;24
Mark
Where's my timer, Todd? Well, all you have to do is look at the automaton shaped hole in the wall.
00;38;37;01 - 00;38;39;21
Sarah
Because there's a giant metal hooligan on a rampage.
00;38;39;26 - 00;38;41;18
Mark
Sure works now.
00;38;41;18 - 00;38;44;03
Sarah
With a child at the wheel. Okay. Okay.
00;38;44;06 - 00;38;45;28
Mark
I love the automaton.
00;38;45;29 - 00;38;48;21
Sarah
I know it's awesome, but it is a big metal night.
00;38;48;24 - 00;38;50;02
Mark
It is a big bet.
00;38;50;04 - 00;39;04;10
Sarah
All Gwen is completely accurate. Yep. So the real one had that big furnace. The whole, like, torso was a big furnace. Yeah, but this one has enough space for all one to be in it. And yet it's still putting off all kinds of.
00;39;04;10 - 00;39;06;07
Mark
Steam and demons in.
00;39;06;07 - 00;39;07;27
Sarah
There. So where is the fire?
00;39;07;27 - 00;39;13;05
Mark
There's an image of electricity, too. Yeah, there's a bit. There's some special.
00;39;13;05 - 00;39;17;19
Sarah
Effects. There's like sparks and. Yeah. And lightning zapping things.
00;39;17;20 - 00;39;23;20
Mark
I love how they do a great job of not showing it to you. And then they're just like, Here it is.
00;39;23;21 - 00;39;46;02
Sarah
Here it is. I think we're supposed to think that the Canadian automaton is electrical rather than a steam powered. Okay, Because those two things don't mix steam and electricity. No, not not in this kind of compact. No, that wouldn't have been good. And you certainly couldn't put a person in the mix and not have all men get electrocuted and steam cooked at the same time.
00;39;46;03 - 00;39;46;14
Mark
Yeah.
00;39;46;18 - 00;40;02;00
Sarah
Which by the way, would have been fine with me. But because I don't like him either. But as soon as he turns and you see all of the the barrels on the hands of the guns, they're basically rotating machine guns like Gatling guns. That's terrifying.
00;40;02;00 - 00;40;03;18
Mark
Yes. In the hands of a child.
00;40;03;18 - 00;40;05;21
Sarah
He could have killed hundreds of people.
00;40;05;21 - 00;40;06;22
Mark
Hundreds of people.
00;40;06;23 - 00;40;09;24
Sarah
But he was just driving it to show it to Murdoch.
00;40;09;25 - 00;40;11;02
Mark
Yeah, through the wall.
00;40;11;05 - 00;40;19;27
Sarah
Did you notice that where they kept it at? Hamilton, They had all the chains to restrain it. Yeah, they know that it's not real.
00;40;19;27 - 00;40;22;03
Mark
They're just so weird.
00;40;22;03 - 00;40;36;23
Sarah
So was was dumb or bluffing? HAMILTON Like the dollar more know that it didn't work. And he had a little person driving it, but had convinced Hamilton that it did work. So Hamilton thought, well, we got to chain that thing up.
00;40;36;29 - 00;40;41;02
Mark
Or remember, Hamilton really wasn't even part, not Hamilton.
00;40;41;04 - 00;40;42;21
Sarah
Dolan was Dormer.
00;40;42;27 - 00;40;49;02
Mark
Dormer wasn't actually working on this. He was working on that. The computer to control it.
00;40;49;06 - 00;41;13;15
Sarah
So who thought it needed to be restrained? No. Who was convinced that it was actually a self controlled thing that would need to be restrained because it could go awry? I don't know. And what kind of kid sneaks into a factory and gets locked in, walks down a long, dark tunnel to see a big monster restrained by chains and says, I'm going to get in that.
00;41;13;17 - 00;41;16;07
Mark
Between Murdoch robots.
00;41;16;09 - 00;41;19;05
Mark
And.
00;41;19;08 - 00;41;24;08
Sarah
First I got to stop the engines and then I got to get this battery plugged in and then I got to undo all these.
00;41;24;08 - 00;41;28;18
Mark
Cheney can't even pick up his own things. He's not going to be able to know how to run the robot.
00;41;28;23 - 00;41;33;16
Sarah
And they've got the robot isolated in what looks like the basement. But it's not.
00;41;33;16 - 00;41;34;02
Mark
It's not.
00;41;34;05 - 00;42;00;21
Sarah
But the only barrier between where it's kept and the outside world is a flimsy wooden wall that he takes a hard right and walks right through. And then Crabtree and Bracken Reeder standing there with big guns going into Mo, who again running amok go. I'm so glad they didn't shoot at it, though, because it would not have been bulletproof if they had shot it in the back to take it down, they would have killed all one and then he would have been like a little tuna in a can.
00;42;00;21 - 00;42;03;26
Mark
MYERS Men in Black totally arrived and take everything.
00;42;03;27 - 00;42;14;01
Sarah
People on the street are screaming and falling down and like they're in a horror movie and running away. How do you think people now would react to that exact robot?
00;42;14;03 - 00;42;16;03
Mark
They'd think it was cool and gather around.
00;42;16;03 - 00;42;18;01
Sarah
It, even with the gun hands.
00;42;18;03 - 00;42;22;22
Mark
The gun hands. Maybe not, but they think it was cosplay, not actual guns.
00;42;22;25 - 00;42;36;29
Sarah
I think so too, unless the guns actually shot. Like if they saw it shoot something, then they would run. They would think it was. Yeah. Murder tank or something. Yeah. Somebody on a rampage who's got too much time on their hands. But until then.
00;42;36;29 - 00;42;39;14
Mark
Automaton shaped hole in their wall.
00;42;39;17 - 00;42;48;01
Sarah
Until then, I think you're right. I think people would gather round it and think it was cool. They would assume that the guns weren't real. Yeah, and think it was super neat.
00;42;48;03 - 00;42;48;25
Mark
Might think it was.
00;42;48;25 - 00;42;57;09
Sarah
Cosplay and probably look for a hat to throw some money into or something. At least they don't shoot. All went in as tin can. Yeah well that would have been bad.
00;42;57;09 - 00;43;10;14
Mark
Oh well the and Tom Adams take it away in the end because the investigation is closed officially until the next episode. What. Well, who killed the.
00;43;10;17 - 00;43;13;19
Sarah
Maya's men in black? Show up and take Hamilton off.
00;43;13;21 - 00;43;16;21
Mark
Yeah, but he's paying the government.
00;43;16;27 - 00;43;32;03
Sarah
I don't think Hamilton is guilty of anything other than deceiving the Canadian government. I think they were pretending they had a finished product that they didn't have to keep getting government funding. I think that's all Hamilton did.
00;43;32;04 - 00;43;37;21
Mark
And I think that's what's implied about Hamilton. So who killed the mathematician.
00;43;37;21 - 00;43;39;26
Sarah
And the little person? Big little man?
00;43;40;03 - 00;43;41;01
Mark
I don't know.
00;43;41;01 - 00;43;42;10
Sarah
I don't know either.
00;43;42;12 - 00;43;44;28
Mark
And it wasn't the lead singer of Coldplay?
00;43;44;29 - 00;43;49;12
Sarah
No, it wasn't Casper the Unfriendly Prussian, No. So I don't know who did it. I don't.
00;43;49;12 - 00;43;49;24
Mark
Know.
00;43;50;00 - 00;43;52;06
Sarah
Which is not a good way to end an episode.
00;43;52;12 - 00;43;54;25
Mark
I'll tell you what a good way to end an episode is.
00;43;54;25 - 00;43;56;01
Sarah
I hope you like pot roast.
00;43;56;01 - 00;44;03;10
Mark
Here's a little tidbit. Here's a little tidbit for Mark and Sarah to investigate the steam man of the prayer.
00;44;03;13 - 00;44;06;28
Sarah
Yes, the book that Murdoch gets for All Men.
00;44;07;01 - 00;44;09;01
Mark
So this is a real book. Right?
00;44;09;03 - 00;44;20;17
Sarah
Before we go into the book, can I ask your question? Yes. What do you make of the scene where Murdoch leaves the police station and leaves Brack and Reid to tell Julia all about the case and they're going to have some whiskey?
00;44;20;20 - 00;44;34;19
Mark
Because I see the world in these terms. I have entitled it in my notes. Actually, poor Julia's in dump town. Now, since Murdoch is angry about Phil.
00;44;34;22 - 00;44;37;26
Sarah
Do you think Julia is sad when he leaves?
00;44;37;29 - 00;44;42;01
Mark
I think she is. But then she's like, okay, I have a whiskey with Barack and Reid.
00;44;42;08 - 00;44;45;14
Sarah
I think she's disappointed not to hear the story from Murdoch.
00;44;45;19 - 00;44;46;04
Mark
Yeah.
00;44;46;07 - 00;44;52;25
Sarah
But I don't know that she connects the dots. That he's going to see another woman. Yeah, And necessarily.
00;44;53;00 - 00;45;07;14
Mark
The ante is up in the next episode. I realize this is over and over decade. Your old show, Murdoch gets hurt and Julia and Enid both rush to him. Yes and then it.
00;45;07;14 - 00;45;09;16
Sarah
Because they have competitive caretaking.
00;45;09;16 - 00;45;11;21
Mark
Competitive caretaking.
00;45;11;23 - 00;45;13;26
Mark
Enid sucks.
00;45;13;29 - 00;45;18;04
Mark
Okay. The Steam Man of the Prairies was written by Edward Ellis.
00;45;18;05 - 00;45;19;12
Sarah
So this is a real book.
00;45;19;12 - 00;45;19;28
Mark
First.
00;45;19;28 - 00;45;20;22
Sarah
Released on the.
00;45;20;22 - 00;45;25;10
Mark
Station Dime novel. It was released in 1868.
00;45;25;18 - 00;45;29;12
Sarah
Oh, so it was contemporary with actual Steam robot.
00;45;29;17 - 00;45;34;11
Mark
It's part of what's called the Edison made genre. Do you know what that means?
00;45;34;13 - 00;45;41;00
Sarah
Edison Ed Yes. It sounds like a drink that Edison invented. Drink?
00;45;41;04 - 00;45;50;24
Mark
Edison Aid. Now, Edison Aid is a genre of novels in which a young inventor solves problems in a supernatural or amazing way.
00;45;50;24 - 00;45;53;15
Sarah
Oh, like young Encyclopedia Brown.
00;45;53;20 - 00;45;54;09
Mark
Young and.
00;45;54;12 - 00;45;55;00
Sarah
Steampunk.
00;45;55;00 - 00;46;06;02
Mark
The books on the Hardy Boys, I would say is but steampunk. I'd even go so far as to say that maybe Batman's a bit at a certain age.
00;46;06;04 - 00;46;09;03
Sarah
I wouldn't not agree with that, but okay, a little bit.
00;46;09;05 - 00;46;11;28
Mark
So this time novel is fantastic.
00;46;12;05 - 00;46;16;25
Sarah
So a little boy invents a steam powered robot on the prairies of Canada.
00;46;17;02 - 00;46;18;05
Mark
No, it's U.S..
00;46;18;07 - 00;46;19;14
Sarah
Oh, okay.
00;46;19;16 - 00;46;30;21
Mark
So this was produced in 19 in 1868. And chapter one is entitled The Terror of the Prairies.
00;46;30;23 - 00;46;31;29
Mark
Okay.
00;46;32;01 - 00;46;36;23
Mark
I must read to you the first couple of paragraphs in this book. Oh, okay. It is fantastic.
00;46;36;23 - 00;46;37;07
Sarah
I'm ready.
00;46;37;15 - 00;47;13;26
Mark
How a virgin. What? That exclaimed Mickey Mouse. Exquisite with something like horrified amazement by the Jumping Jahoda fat. Now, if I don't beat all nature, it's the devil broke loose with full steam. There was a good cause for these exclamations upon the part of the Yankee in the Irishman as they stood on the margin of Wolf Ravine and gazed over the prairie several miles to the north.
00;47;13;28 - 00;47;25;07
Mark
Something like a gigantic man could be seen approaching, apparently at a rapid gait for a few seconds when it slackened its speed until it scarcely moved.
00;47;25;09 - 00;47;30;13
Sarah
Well, it is the 1860s. We're not talking, you know, progressive thinking here.
00;47;30;20 - 00;47;32;11
Mark
How leave our game.
00;47;32;17 - 00;47;36;26
Sarah
There's bound to be some dramatic racism on the next page, I'm sure.
00;47;36;27 - 00;47;42;02
Mark
h0wlyv air i.
00;47;42;04 - 00;47;46;00
Sarah
Well, that's got to be an Irish accent. Exquisite. All right.
00;47;46;01 - 00;47;48;00
Mark
Mickey.
00;47;48;02 - 00;47;58;14
Sarah
Oh, I'm not going to try to do an Irish accent. I think I've already done my best with my New Zealand accent the last couple of weeks. I don't push it.
00;47;58;20 - 00;48;10;19
Mark
Bugger off. But it's an old devil hitched with this Rutland wagon. Wilde, his old wife, Holden, dreams, exclaimed Miki.
00;48;10;21 - 00;48;12;01
Sarah
Good job.
00;48;12;04 - 00;48;16;12
Mark
Gore. This is Gore I like six times.
00;48;16;14 - 00;48;18;01
Sarah
I know what that means.
00;48;18;01 - 00;48;25;00
Mark
Oh, gee, it's so. It's so fantastically dyed, knobbly and just fantastic.
00;48;25;06 - 00;48;51;03
Sarah
But it's absolute Murdoch, too. Yeah. Like, I would not be surprised if Murdoch had seen. Oh, what's his face? The inventor in Murdoch. His his nemesis and friend. Both Uh oh, The guy who invented the rocket car and all that stuff. Oh, Hendrick. Hendrick. Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if Hendrick had the steam man in his garage or something, you know, like he collected it.
00;48;51;05 - 00;48;52;18
Sarah
It sounds right up his alley.
00;48;52;23 - 00;49;03;19
Mark
He was born in as Edward Sylvester. Ellis was born in 1840 and wrote The Steam Man of the Prairies. He was always successful in dime novel area this time.
00;49;03;21 - 00;49;11;15
Sarah
Oh, you mean this wasn't like a like, the greatest work of his life? Like, maybe he just turned it out, like, over a weekend and published a chip.
00;49;11;16 - 00;49;12;14
Mark
Yeah. Yeah.
00;49;12;15 - 00;49;12;28
Sarah
Okay.
00;49;13;04 - 00;49;17;13
Mark
I'll leave our John Mackey squeeze.
00;49;17;14 - 00;49;29;17
Sarah
Oh, here. You're making it sound like he's from Georgia. And he's from Ireland. Oh, maybe. Maybe have a listener from Ireland who can record that for us and share share in audio file.
00;49;29;20 - 00;49;30;29
Mark
Best corpse.
00;49;31;01 - 00;49;36;07
Sarah
There's only one. Wow. No, there's do. Oh, it's got to be Dahmer with his finger.
00;49;36;09 - 00;49;41;20
Mark
Is Dahmer with his finger. But I do like that. The thing they do with the.
00;49;41;24 - 00;49;42;18
Sarah
Big little I.
00;49;42;21 - 00;49;43;01
Mark
Big.
00;49;43;01 - 00;49;44;19
Sarah
Little has no shoes on where.
00;49;44;19 - 00;49;47;10
Mark
They pretend he's a child for a little while.
00;49;47;12 - 00;49;47;26
Sarah
Yeah.
00;49;47;28 - 00;49;49;10
Mark
Like, why is that?
00;49;49;10 - 00;49;52;14
Sarah
Because it could be all and it could be all twin. It's not all. And yeah.
00;49;52;19 - 00;49;53;24
Mark
That and that.
00;49;53;24 - 00;49;55;17
Sarah
And then he needs like, shoe.
00;49;55;17 - 00;49;56;08
Mark
It's a weird.
00;49;56;08 - 00;50;00;28
Sarah
I guess I should feel bad that another human being is dead but I'm just glad it's not my son.
00;50;01;06 - 00;50;04;22
Mark
Look at Murdoch's.
00;50;04;24 - 00;50;08;01
Sarah
He's so sexy when he's fondling a dead person.
00;50;08;01 - 00;50;12;01
Mark
Feed him to rub my rhubarb.
00;50;12;04 - 00;50;14;28
Sarah
I'm going to feed him some pot roses.
00;50;15;00 - 00;50;19;04
Mark
After the credits, that crime is still not solved.
00;50;19;07 - 00;50;24;00
Sarah
Amazon is going to disappear. Yeah, and I don't know who's going to run his business.
00;50;24;00 - 00;50;26;05
Mark
The automaton is going to disappear.
00;50;26;05 - 00;50;30;00
Sarah
I don't think we're going to see him. Or the mechanical suit.
00;50;30;00 - 00;50;37;25
Mark
I am. I have a note about that. Like they go in Monday at work and Hamilton's not there. Like his name is on the bill.
00;50;37;27 - 00;50;59;07
Sarah
Well, we have to think that he's got a board of directors or something. Maybe got some sons who can run it. I will say that we do see Casper, the unfriendly pressure and again, but not the actor, not the character. And see Holden, Chris Holden read again later, but they're not playing this character. And the second time I saw him I was like, Is that the lead singer of Cold Boy?
00;50;59;08 - 00;51;03;25
Mark
No, it's Casper the Unfriendly Russian do.
00;51;03;28 - 00;51;19;28
Sarah
So all one gets to go home and isn't even punished for threatening half of Toronto with machine guns and stealing a robot and running away and being trapped for 24 hours and terrifying his mother, who, though I don't like her, I would not wish that on anybody.
00;51;20;02 - 00;51;21;23
Mark
Terence Myers returns.
00;51;21;26 - 00;51;31;15
Sarah
I guess Mrs. Esten is going to go home to her boring husband. I don't know who's going to get all of our stuff because he's not married and has no kids, no. Maybe she inherits.
00;51;31;15 - 00;51;32;00
Mark
Maybe.
00;51;32;00 - 00;51;34;25
Sarah
His chessboard and his broken clock. I don't.
00;51;34;25 - 00;51;35;24
Mark
Know. Nice house.
00;51;35;24 - 00;51;44;28
Sarah
I don't know. Whenever you don't see much of the outside, you see the door? Yeah. And I guess Casper Baumgart goes back to pressure the embassy or whatever.
00;51;45;01 - 00;51;46;08
Mark
Probably in his lifetime.
00;51;46;08 - 00;51;47;17
Sarah
They figured this out.
00;51;47;17 - 00;51;50;12
Mark
Yeah. Drat Russia. No longer exist.
00;51;50;17 - 00;51;56;07
Sarah
Canada might attack us now that they know that we don't really have automaton soldiers.
00;51;56;13 - 00;52;01;06
Mark
So September six, the newsletter comes out for September sign.
00;52;01;09 - 00;52;04;16
Sarah
You're just like, That's it, That's it. I'm Murdoc. Done?
00;52;04;21 - 00;52;12;04
Mark
Yep. September 11th we will have Murdoch mysteries season two Episode nine Convalescence.
00;52;12;07 - 00;52;14;27
Sarah
Which sounds really boring from the title.
00;52;14;28 - 00;52;15;29
Mark
But it's Hitchcock.
00;52;16;02 - 00;52;20;14
Sarah
But it's a murdoch Hitchcock mash up. Yep. And it's not boring.
00;52;20;14 - 00;52;22;02
Mark
And then September.
00;52;22;04 - 00;52;24;02
Sarah
Is more despicable.
00;52;24;02 - 00;52;30;28
Mark
September 18th is episode ten Murdoch Dotcom, which has nothing to do with it. Well, it does.
00;52;31;01 - 00;52;32;15
Sarah
It's fake Internet.
00;52;32;16 - 00;52;35;28
Mark
Well, no, it's real Internet because the beginning of the Internet is telegraph.
00;52;36;00 - 00;52;36;23
Sarah
Yeah, So.
00;52;36;23 - 00;52;41;02
Mark
But the rant about that at another point in time.
00;52;41;02 - 00;52;41;25
Sarah
Yes.
00;52;42;01 - 00;52;49;18
Mark
You can find this on all the socials. If you're listening on YouTube, please take the time to like, subscribe.
00;52;49;25 - 00;52;51;00
Sarah
And it matters.
00;52;51;00 - 00;52;54;08
