1 Except the Dying
5/13/04
When a young chambermaid’s body is found in the streets, Murdoch sets out to solve the crime with the help of Constable Oliver Wicken and forensic scientist Dr. Julia Ogden. But Inspector Brackenreid pressures him to work more quickly after the chief constable takes notice of the case.
2 Poor Tom Is Cold
9/12/04
Murdoch’s colleague is found dead, his body smelling of a whiskey-fueled suicide. However, Murdoch believes the case itself reeks of foul play and centers his investigation on the sinister Eakin family. Prostitute Ettie helps Murdoch get the lead he’s been looking for, and after a high-stress case, sparks fly for Murdoch and Julia at a fireworks show.
3 Under the Dragon's Tail
10/14/04
When abortionist Dolly Shaw is killed, she leaves behind three young wards with mysterious pasts. After a second murder occurs, Murdoch’s list of suspects grows—and includes Ettie, who reveals that she was at the home of Dolly Shaw the night she died. Meanwhile, Murdoch tries to remain professional with the coroner despite the man’s rapport with Julia.

About this show

Before the hit television series Murdoch Mysteries, the same characters appeared in these feature-length adaptations of Maureen Jennings’s beloved novels. In gritty 1890s Toronto, Detective William Murdoch (Peter Outerbridge, Orphan Black) uses new forensic techniques to solve the murders of a young chambermaid, a colleague on the force, and a backstreet abortionist. With the help of beguiling coroner Dr. Julia Odgen (Keeley Hawes, Ashes to Ashes, Line of Duty), Murdoch sifts through the evidence, looking for even the smallest clue.
