Inspector BRACKENREID must have been about to find out compromising things before being beaten. I agree and I think that whatever it is has some very powerful people behind it. I think it goes beyond the harbormaster (who I think is neck deep in it) and Mrs. Dawkins and even pt 2 will not bring it all to a final conclusion. It is something that I think will run deep into the season but in the background especially as it relates to Brackenreid’s recovery. He will have to get over his fear and his anguish knowing that there is nothing specific he can do to put a definitive end to the situation without risking getting killed or putting his family in danger. It is very interesting and I can’t wait to see the bigger picture. Patience is not my strong point. And I hope we will have a good answer in the part 2. But I also remember reading that Patrick McKENNA said that his character could be killed so yes it could have a bigger picture.

Yes, her character is intriguing. Mrs McKINNON reminds me of Eva PIERCE.
Let's hope that William already learned about all those tricks from Julia! I'm sorry to say to you that William is not a good student in this field.

Inspector BRACKENREID must have been about to find out compromising things before being beaten. I was confused at first as to why they said he had been investigating the docks before his beat down. I was under the impression they just beat him up because he beat them up. But I guess I like the fact that there's more to it than that. It's the same reason Jackson was attacked. He was about to find out about their secret ______ ______ operation. The dockworkers beat JACKSON up to send a message to the police station 4; the waterfront is outside their jurisdiction. A woman is killed and before her death, she was sequestered and chained (another allusion to the condition/status of women in this world/the society). That's why I think this is not just about a prostitution related case. Was she supposed to be sold as a slave? Has she been abducted because she was pregnant or to be used as a surrogate mother to provide children to rich families? It's hard to find out and I can't wait for having the answer of this investigation.

Cecily MAC KINNON hides something, she downplayed the importance of her role/statut of harbormaster -strategy used to divert the MURDOCH's attention from her- and she's too much cooperative with MURDOCH to be honest... I love the Harbormaster character! Her shameless pose as a husband-hunting widow is obviously a put-on to disarm William: she probably killed her husband, and now she rules the docks with an iron hand. She may well have arranged for the death of Dawkins as a favor to the Chandler's wife. I'm kind of hoping she escapes "justice" this time and continues to be a menace to the constabulary! Yes, her character is intriguing. Mrs McKINNON reminds me of Eva PIERCE. If she really is the villain, and if she really has a crush on him and decides to "hunt" William, she surely thinks that as an influential woman in business, she would be able to corrupt him. Speaking of Mrs McKINNON and Mrs DAWKINS, they both are a widow and they don't need a man to pursue their activities. I think the writers made reference to the women's fight; they furnish the proof that women are as capable as men to run a business.

I think they are kept in custody or provisional detention during the process of trial. Julia and Emily surely could afford to make bail but they would prefer to show solidarity with other women. About the public protest, I think that the Prime Minister indeed could be a forward thinker -not like the member of provincial parliament who ripped up the petition- and he could grant his pardon to all the women who have been arrested and threw in jail. Lesley GARLAND will have no other choice than to bow down. It could be a little victory for women. Thank you so much for sharing those here! I look forward to seeing Leslie Garland being made to look like an unchivalrous fool. But of course being made to look unchivalrous gets in the way of the argument for women's rights as fully rational citizens, as William pointed out in Victor/Victorian - so we may see the women themselves refusing any special treatment. Looking forward to some William angst, too! Woo hoo! sorry not sorry, lovemondays! They have been arrested because of the form and the content of their public protest. About the form: they were disturbing public order and if found guilty, they could face a prison sentence. About the content: women do not have legal standing to protest because they are not recognized by law as legal persons.
They fight for the women's right to vote and they must convince men and specifically the Premier of Ontario that they deserve it and that women should become full citizens. That's why I believe that this would be extremely hypocritical to accept the help of a man. And I also think women will be able to argue their cases effectively and get the pardon of the Premier of Ontario.

Looking at this photo, unless they've repainted the cells at SH4, they look like they're in custody somewhere else. They could be cells at the courthouse though. In 1898 Sir Wilfred Laurier transferred the control of who had the right to vote to the provinces. In 1902 the provinces were still in control therefore the ladies were at the mercy of the Premier of Ontario not the Prime Minister. Thank for having corrected my mistake. It come from my misunderstanding of some English words but I also must admit that I'm not familiar with the political and administrative system of CANADA. Indeed I referred to the person to whom the petition was addressed.

I liked it! I find very interesting how the writers counter balanced the violence of the crime by/with humour. Patrick Mc KENNA who plays SLORACH is really funny. However I think Inspector SLORACH is not as too idiot as he seems to be. The "George and Henry" duo is also used as a way to alleviate the seriousness of the situation between cops and dockworkers. Good work! The waterfront seems to be a place with a lot of illegal activities controlled by a "pseudo" mafia. - Inspector BRACKENREID must have been about to find out compromising things before being beaten. As for Mr DAWKINS, it was a message but he was luckier and he survived. Then Mick and Tim O'SHEA warn him that it would be better for him to forget all about them and the waterfront by showing him that they knew where he lives and how it's easy to approach his wife. But they ignore that Mrs BRACKENREID is a strong woman and now the inspector is looking for them. - Cecily MAC KINNON hides something, she downplayed the importance of her role/statut of harbormaster -strategy used to divert the MURDOCH's attention from her- and she's too much cooperative with MURDOCH to be honest and on the other side, there is the wife of the victim, Mrs DAWKINS, who seems to not care about the murder of her husband and remains indifferent even annoyed as if she is wasting her time every time MURDOCH questions her. I can't wait to see the part 2.

The last promotional picture! The poor guy! He was killed and we are happy. Indeed it's an all new investigation for Detective MURDOCH which begins. Thank you for bringing these to the forum. William looks like: Another day, another dead person. Le sigh...
You're welcome. It was a little flaw... I can't count.

Is it wrong that I hope there's one more and that it's Julia and William? We already got a Gemmily... Sorry... OUPS! . I shall start again : you can see above the LAST promotional picture... posted by CosmicCavalcade! Thank you CosmicCavalcade! I think the Detective MURDOCH has a lead. We should follow him, shouldn't we?

Am I the only one still lmao over the crew member in the background for a promotional shot? Oh I noticed them! I just didn't have the time to make a comment. The guy wearing the sun gl asses and the cap made me think of the "where's Waldo?" game and... YOU found him.

Take a deep breath, Constable CRABTREE! Has bubblegum been invented yet? George should blow a bubble in their faces. Yes since 1870!

Get up, stand up! Stand up for your right! We know they will be thrown in jail but do you think Julia and Emily will have a preferential treatment, a separate cell or something else? I've been thinking that William will not be able to pick up Julia, she could believe that he's really anger with her and she could refuse to be released -she is so stubborn- until Inspector SLORACH explain why he didn't come. I think it depends on how many station houses the coroner services cover. If Julia and Emily have never worked with the officers that haul them in, they will be treated like common prisoners. If William doesn't show up to try to get Julia released, I think she would be very worried about what happened to him. This time, the door of their cell will surely be locked.
Of course, she would be worried but her first reaction could be anger until she understand that he needs a doctor.
