Under the Dragon's Tail is a 2005 made-for-TV film starring Peter Outerbridge, Matthew MacFadzean, Hélène Joy, and Flora Montgomery.
[2] This is the third of three telemovies (the previous two being Except the Dying and Poor Tom Is Cold) depicting the character of William Murdoch and his unique ways of doing detective work.
Missing from Capshaw's desk is her register of clients, a large red book with the image of a dragon on the cover.
Murdoch's investigation involves many people whose lives had, in one way or another, crossed with Capshaw's including Ettie Weston, who is no longer a prostitute but is now on the stage with a mentalist act; and Maude Pedlow, the wife of a prominent Superior Court judge.
In this film, Maude Pedlow is played by Hélène Joy, who went on to portray Dr Julia Ogden in the later TV series Murdoch Mysteries starring Yannick Bisson.
