Episode summary:

When the body of an elderly drifter is found near the docks with a whiskey flask clenched in his hands, it appears at first as if another drunk has met an unkind fate. But when Ogden determines the victim had the liver of a teetotaler, Murdoch inspects the whiskey flask and discovers a secret compartment containing what appears to be part of an encrypted message. The case takes an even stranger turn when a man identifying himself as the dead man’s son comes to the morgue to claim his body. Investigations soon lead to the uncovering of political conspiracies and realizations that something far bigger is afoot than first expected.
