- It must have been so hard to solve mysteries back then
because they didn't have any
of the technology we have today.
Could you imagine, without fingerprints or anything?
You're just, was it you?
Hi friends. 'Tis I, Bailey Sarian.
I know, did you miss me? Hi.
Perhaps you know me from my YouTube series,
"Murder, Mystery & Makeup"
or maybe you listen to my podcast, "Dark History".
Netflix called me up and said, "Hey bitch, you busy?
We have a fresh batch of cold cases in the queue
and you're literally the only person we trust."
So I grabbed my magnifying glass and my makeup kit
and I ran straight here because I'm a desperate bitch.
This is "Case Closed" with me, Bailey Sarian.
(magical music)
Today I'll be watching "Enola Holmes 2".
Now, maybe you're familiar with the Holmes family.
They're super famous for solving twisty, turny cases.
So Netflix gave me a case file to help me keep track
of the details of today's mystery.
This is case number 007.
Brief: Enola's first case
at her new detective agency starts with a missing girl
and only gets more complicated from there.
Oh dear.
Yes, there will be murder.
Your job is to identify the circumstances
of the girl's disappearance, to correctly identify
the killer and to surmise what leads
our detective to imprisonment. Drama!
Then it has a list of suspects and stuff.
So let me tell you, because who isn't a suspect?
First up we have Sarah Chapman, she's a Matchstick Girl.
I guess she's gone missing, poor thing.
Bessie, she's a Matchstick Girl.
She's also the adopted sister of Sarah.
Mae, Matchstick Girl, friend of Sarah's.
Mr. Poppy. I love that name.
Mr. Poppy, aka Sarah's mystery suitor.
Superintendent Grail, head police officer.
The Inspector, I guess he's the rival detective.
The Foreman, matchstick factory foreman.
Now we have some additional notes here that are gonna help.
It says, "Remember to pull every loose thread.
Anything can be a clue in this web of deceit."
Ooh, let's get into it, sounds like a blast, I love murder.
You know, when it doesn't involve me.
Okay so for today's look, what's my inspiration?
You're probably wondering.
This outfit is giving me like I'm churning butter
so I'm gonna lean into churning butter.
I think I'm gonna go very soft glam.
Let's do some luminous, like I'm kind of getting sweaty
while churning my butter, yeah?
Let's get into that.
I can't wait to watch this, I heard it's really good.
- Hi Bailey.
I hear you're trying to crack the case.
Enola would be proud.
Good luck. The game is a foot.
- That's so nice, hey!
She knows my name.
That's all I needed for today, I'm gonna go home now.
- [Enola] My name is Enola Holmes.
You may remember me.
- Wait, I need to absorb that.
Millie just said my name.
I wonder if we can be friends?
Call me, let me know. Let's hang out.
- [Enola] After solving my first case,
- Hello.
- [Enola] I started a business.
- Good for her. - [Enola] A detective agency.
- I would call my detective agency The Pussy Bandits.
Great name. You would remember it, right? (chuckles)
- And I can fight. I know jujitsu.
- Okay, so this looks exciting.
She's a badass woman, start her own business
and she does jujitsu.
I have no idea where this is going.
I really like the visuals, very pretty.
Her dress? Fabulous.
But I'm supposed to be solving something,
not looking at the attire.
- [Enola] I was a failure.
- Wait, why is she a failure?
Believe in yourself.
(book thuds closed) Who's she?
- [Bessie] Is it true you find lost people?
- Who have you lost? - (whispers) Her sister.
- My sister. - Ah, I knew it.
Okay, so we've got another young lady coming in
who lost her sister.
You see Enola is kind of feeling defeated
so this is gonna be her redemption,
so she's gonna go hard, watch.
She's gonna be chopping heads, taking names.
It's gonna be exciting, I can't wait.
Girl power. Yeah!
- Who's this, Bess? - Enola Holmes.
- She's a detective.
- She looks like she'd blow over in the wind.
- Mae! - That's rude.
- [Enola] Makeup.
- [Bailey] I love makeup, obviously.
- [Bessie] There's plenty if you've taken an interest.
- Honestly, this reminds me of when I go to estate sales
and I get to go through people's stuff
and try and figure out who they are.
That's what this is giving me and I love that.
I love going through people's stuff.
You would too, come on. Shut up.
Maybe I should just be a detective
so then legally I could go through people's stuff.
Oh, burned paper.
That's usually something, someone's hiding something.
- We don't need help from people like you.
- What's up with her?
She's hiding something.
- When was the last time you saw her?
- Week ago at the match factory.
She had a fight with Mr. Crouch, the foreman.
- (gasps) Mr. Crouch, mm.
- The match factory, is that where she works?
- Where we all work.
We're Matchgirls, ain't we?
- Hey guys, fun fact.
Did you know the first commercially-produced lipstick
came out in 1884?
You know they were probably using some animal fat
and blubber and shit, you know?
But hey, it probably worked. Worked great.
Smelled like shit.
- [Mr. Crouch] Oi, new girl. Name in the register.
- So she was writing a fake name.
Smart, good for her, she knows what she's doing.
- What are you looking for? - Swifers.
- Sarah could have a disease.
When you're working in a factory with a bunch of kids,
disease could spread very easily
and there were no laws protecting...
The labor laws.
Everyone had syphilis and stuff, it's wild.
But Sarah might have died from that.
Whoops, you know?
Okay, so she's in that Mr. Crouch's office
so she went straight to the source.
Little sneaky-ass bitch.
And look, missing pages! Fire, remember?
- Green eyes, red hair. (Bailey gasps)
- [Bailey] Green eyes, red hair.
Whatever's in that book, obviously somebody
didn't want someone to see it, right?
Maybe it was blackmail.
I'm actually very proud of my snooping skills.
All you have to do is distract and then you could snoop
so distract with a titty.
If you got a titty, sometimes just one titty
and then you could just get into that office, look around,
capture some blackmail for yourself just in case,
you know what I'm saying?
That's how I snoop, with a titty.
- [Mae] She's a loose thread.
- So she's following Mae.
She was acting a little funky so that's pretty valid.
So Mae was dressed up very nicely
so it seems like maybe she's meeting
with a man maybe, a woman?
I don't know, we don't know, but she's going somewhere.
She feels like she's being watched, which she's not wrong.
Oh, is this a circus?
(gasps) Makeup.
She ran away with the circus.
- She worked two jobs, you see.
(Enola gasps)
- You got five seconds to tell me why you're here.
- Okay so Mae is upset because Enola
seems to be following her and poking around
where she doesn't need to be poking,
but Sarah had the same makeup
as at that place that she was at
so obviously she was there.
I think she ran away with the circus,
that's what I'm actually leaning towards, why not?
Are you a woman and you hate where you're at in the world?
Join a circus, it's the only way out.
Especially in these olden days.
I think Mae's super defensive
because Sarah confided in her some kind of secret
so Mae is trying to protect her friend.
That makes sense.
It's either the circus or secrets.
- [Ringleader] Full of secrets, that one
and not a bad actress.
I'd have given her the boot if she weren't so good
but she did attract the men
with the big pockets, always useful.
Shift it.
He'd send flowers, letters.
- Okay, so a couple of things happened.
She's a good actress, based off this guy.
That means she's probably a good liar
and keeping secrets and all that.
Also she was very popular with the men.
Maybe she ran off with somebody, maybe she fell in love?
So then she finds that letter, it was hidden
and it's all wrapped up in that little pretty bow
so it's something, something special.
I still think circus.
So it seems to be a love letter and guess what I just found?
A letter hidden in my makeup.
Talk about a coincidence. (paper rustling)
My God. Oh, is this the actual letter?
As we two are of the fruit of love
A bell did ring in the sky above
So wander that place with its blossoms
While the chapel awaits us out of sight.
Yeah, this isn't my strong suit.
I didn't do well in literature and all that stuff,
so I don't know, but I think it has something
to do with getting married.
It says ring, bell, chapel.
They're getting married, baby.
They're probably in Vegas, that's where they went.
- [Enola] Did she run away with this fellow...
or is she running from him?
I hope it's the latter, his poetry is extremely bad.
- Good to know, I thought that was pretty good.
Man in the shadows and he has a walking stick?
Nobody with a walking stick has good intentions.
Enola made a valid point.
Maybe she's running from this creep
who writes poetry but based off of the poem,
it wasn't creepy, it was kind of sweet.
I don't think she's running from him.
I think they just ran away and got married
and this guy with the cane, I don't know.
- So wander that place, bell, place.
Awaits us out of sight.
(gasps) 28 Bell Place, Whitechapel, ah!
- I guess that's why she's Enola
'cause she's fricking genius.
I wouldn't have put that together.
Marriage, chapel.
She's now gonna go to that Whitechapel place
and burn it to the ground.
No, I'm just kidding.
She's gonna find the man who wrote the letter
at the white chapel.
He probably works there.
(gasps) He's a priest, isn't he?
I hope the priest murdered her.
Just for shits and giggles, it'd be fun.
I like surprises.
Door's open, that's a little fishy.
Go right in girl.
Oh dear, there's been a struggle.
Long red hair
Oh dear God.
(garbled coughing)
- (gasps) Is that Mae?
What happened? She's been stabbed!
- No, no! It's all right.
- It's not all right girl, she's gonna die.
Oh, she did. Sorry girl, RIP.
Okay, well it's not Mae.
Maybe they both were in love with Mr. Poppy
and they fought or something?
Maybe Sarah's actually the killer and she's on the run?
Usually when I put on my lashes
it means I'm ready to solve the mystery,
and baby I got my lashes locked and loaded.
Uh-oh, she's gonna look like she did it.
- No, no, no, her name is Mae.
She worked at the The Paragon Theater,
the matchstick factory.
She was a dancer, she's friends with...
- The cane.
Oh shit, the cane guy's coming.
- Superintendent Grail.
- [Bailey] Yeah, this doesn't look good for her, that sucks.
Okay so that weird guy with the cane
that was following her was a detective, turns out.
But why was he following her?
Oh bitch, I know. He killed Mae.
He waited for Enola to come in 'cause it was a trap.
She's alone with the dead body,
that's when he gathers his crew and it's like,
"Oh what? I just came here
'cause there was a disturbance and a dead body, oh no!
It must be you Enola."
It must have been so hard to solve mysteries back then
because they didn't have any
of the technology we have today.
Could you imagine, without fingerprints or anything?
You're just, was it you? All right.
It could be anybody at this point except for Mae.
(blows landing) (men groaning)
Oh shit, ow.
Good thing she knows jujitsu.
Comes in handy when you're jumping from roof to roof.
- [Millie] Enola certainly got herself in a pickle.
- Don't tell me that's the end.
That's the end?
- Luckily, it doesn't end here.
You can catch the rest of Enola's adventure
in Enola Holmes 2.
- (sighs)
You guys, you're not gonna give me closure?
Look, we need to have a talk Netflix.
Let me scoot in real close.
Netflix, listen here.
You can't be giving me this and not give me closure.
I need to sleep at night.
Who did it? Tell me.
You're not gonna tell me?
Let me think about this
because I'm kind of leaning into the whole,
maybe it's Sarah.
Maybe Sarah actually did something bad
and that's why she ripped out all those pages
'cause she's trying to hide something.
Final answer, I think Sarah's the killer.
Why not? Live a little.
How do you like my makeup?
It came out cute, it's just really soft
and again, churning butter, glam, love it.
Let me know down in the comment section
down below who you think the killer is.
Are we vibing the same, are you thinking Sarah?
Let me know.
This has been Case Closed with me, Bailey Sarian.
Let's say you wanna see more of my face, well guess what?
You can see more of me on my YouTube channel
and also we can both watch Enola Holmes 2, out on Netflix.
Let's see if I caught the right culprit, come on.
I probably did, but don't spoil it for me.
Let me watch it.
