0:00:02 > 0:00:08This programme contains some violent scenes and scenes which some viewers may find upsetting.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11All you young soldiers, next week, we shall have cavalry.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14Horses which will run and cannon which will fire!
0:00:17 > 0:00:20We at the Manby Emporium, we never shall rest
0:00:20 > 0:00:22to bring you children joy.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28HE COUGHS
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Nice and tight now.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33They will not deny us their patent this time.
0:00:33 > 0:00:38Oh, no, not for you, my beauty.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Let's see how this one does, eh?
0:00:53 > 0:00:55HE CHUCKLES
0:00:55 > 0:00:56You'll see.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Come on, out me way. Go on, go on.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12Wish me luck, boy.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Toymaker. Found this morning in an alley off the High Road.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Dead man in Whitechapel - the world chokes on its breakfast.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57It is our work, Captain.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00It is yours, Reid. Me, I have other matters to attend to.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Hanging off a tart's tit?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Don't knock it till you've tried it, Sergeant.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Reid, I'm serious, I'm not...
0:03:12 > 0:03:13Reid, what is this?
0:03:15 > 0:03:16A 63-year-old man.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Series of wounds and fractures to the skull and jaw.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21No. I mean this.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23This is your new dead room.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Now, look here.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Curved indentations to the cheek and to the forehead.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Belt buckle.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37Belt buckl-...
0:03:37 > 0:03:39You see, now this is why I send for you.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41What do you mean "mine"?
0:03:41 > 0:03:45These are to the specification you described, is it not?
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Now would you look here. Jaw flattened and the skull stoved in.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Hot water, too.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Your description was very precise.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58It may well have been, Reid, but I was talking about
0:03:58 > 0:04:01the John Hopkins in Baltimore, not a cop shop in East London.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Should we not aspire so high, you and I?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23The mortis is set in. You'll have to wait to get in there.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27This, though...
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Drake, a measuring tape. - Ah, drawer, top.
0:04:34 > 0:04:39He has a name, this man. It's Manby.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41And he has served the good children of this borough
0:04:41 > 0:04:43a sight longer than you have whored through it.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Thank you, nurse.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53- It's a small boot.- How small?
0:04:53 > 0:04:59- Small.- Mr Reid, sir. The Vigilance Committee marches on us.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Reid, now, this room, I'm flattered,
0:05:09 > 0:05:12but I have made no call to be deputised.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14You would sooner return to your...
0:05:14 > 0:05:17in-growing toenails and hawking snake oil?
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Toenails and snake oil mean bread and whisky.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22And how exactly do you intend to compensate for monies
0:05:22 > 0:05:25left unearned, whilst I lead you from ignorance here?
0:05:29 > 0:05:30Reid.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36ANGRY COMMOTION
0:05:44 > 0:05:49What's this, George Lusk? Finally decided on applying for uniform?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53If matters weren't so grave, I'd be inclined to enjoy your comedy.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56No, Inspector.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00The men of Whitechapel do your job for you once more.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01CROWD SHOUTS AGREEMENT
0:06:05 > 0:06:11Thomas Gower. The lad what robbed and killed our toy seller.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13CROWD JEERS
0:06:14 > 0:06:18The Emergency Patrols were disbanded three month ago.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20You vigilantes were stood down.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22On whose say?
0:06:22 > 0:06:23It's not for you to tell us
0:06:23 > 0:06:26when we may organise, in defence of our community.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Better still, you thank us -
0:06:28 > 0:06:31and consider yourself fortunate we bring a culprit across to ya.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34I consider myself nothing of the kind when it comes to your presence
0:06:34 > 0:06:35in this world, Lusk.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Now, this boy has done what you say, he will feel my outrage.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42But I will not simply take YOUR word for it. Not you, Lusk.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Your own offences are as bad as the felons you hunt.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46I don't ask you to.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50These were found on the boy.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54It's got its maker's mark on it.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58And I have five witnesses saw him
0:06:58 > 0:07:01leave the alleyway not two minutes before old Manby was come upon.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03CROWD JEER
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Names. Sworn statements.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11That boy is to feel punishment.
0:07:11 > 0:07:17He does not and we will string up every street Arab in the quarter
0:07:17 > 0:07:19from the gaslights of the High Road!
0:07:19 > 0:07:21CROWD JEERS
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Get up!
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Look at me, boy.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37There's an army out there ready to roast you on their spit.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Look at him!
0:07:39 > 0:07:43You see how a story emerges here that fits you for this crime?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55I would be wary of this silence.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58It may oblige me to send you to trial.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59BOY SPITS
0:08:00 > 0:08:01BOY CRIES OUT
0:08:07 > 0:08:09DOOR SLAMS
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Quiet in court.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23The jury return with their verdict.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Boy's lawyer. Churches with my wife.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34All rise!
0:08:44 > 0:08:46How do you find the boy?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Guilty, your honour.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51CHEERING FROM THE GALLERY
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- WOMAN:- That'll teach ya!
0:08:53 > 0:08:56My thanks to our jury for the speedy delivery
0:08:56 > 0:08:58of sound verdict.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03However, given the boy's barely comprehensible
0:09:03 > 0:09:05and continued silence,
0:09:05 > 0:09:07does counsel wish to speak for him
0:09:07 > 0:09:09before I pass sentence on his guilt?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12My Lord, I do.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16This is a child stood here.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20I would hope that you might recognise that as an opportunity
0:09:20 > 0:09:24to assert the sanctity of that childhood and to be merciful.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26This boy and the others like him
0:09:26 > 0:09:29who we would blame for the violence on our streets,
0:09:29 > 0:09:31it is not they who we should punish,
0:09:31 > 0:09:34but the Fagins who stand behind them, directing that violence.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36These innocents, we should protect.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40You would urge an attempt at reformation?
0:09:40 > 0:09:41I would.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Reformation be damned, Mr Eagles.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49This child, we shall make an example of him.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54No, my Lord, please!
0:09:54 > 0:09:57He is 14 years old and admits nothing of this crime.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- VOICES FROM THE GALLERY:- Yeah!
0:10:04 > 0:10:05Thomas Gower.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Three days hence, you will be taken to the gallows at Newgate,
0:10:10 > 0:10:13where Mr Berry will deliver you
0:10:13 > 0:10:16from this life and into the next.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18CHEERING FROM THE GALLERY
0:10:26 > 0:10:27Mrs Manby.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Inspector. I would thank you for your diligence and speed.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34You and Mr Lusk, here.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37You serve my husband and his memory well.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Inspector?
0:10:39 > 0:10:42The boy is of tender years. The sentence...
0:10:43 > 0:10:45..immoderate or apt?
0:10:45 > 0:10:47My duty was to fetch the lad here.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49All else is for greater men than I to settle.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Shame! Shame on you! You fetch a child to his murder,
0:10:52 > 0:10:55wash your hands of him and call your duty served?
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- Shame on you! Shame! - Get out of here, Miss.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58SHE SHOUTS IN YIDDISH
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Justice may not make friends, Reid.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02I will not be silent! I will not!
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Is the Jewess on your ticket, is she?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08I know her not, though she is of my mind.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Then shall I ask my Sergeant to return her,
0:11:10 > 0:11:12so I may remind you both of the facts here?
0:11:12 > 0:11:16That this condemned boy was brought to you beaten blue by his captor?
0:11:16 > 0:11:20No, Mr Eagles. That the victim's belongings were about him,
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- that five men saw him depart the scene at some speed soon after...- Though none saw the act...
0:11:23 > 0:11:26..that this boy is no stranger to violence.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29And that finally, when presented with the opportunity,
0:11:29 > 0:11:31he even now refuses to deny it.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Lusk and his hamheads have served an entire hymnal of guilt
0:11:34 > 0:11:36and the world has sung from it.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Mr Reid, you are no stranger to the horrors of our city.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41But have they poisoned your heart
0:11:41 > 0:11:44so completely that you truly believe this boy - this boy alone -
0:11:44 > 0:11:47capable of the savagery brought down on that man?
0:11:47 > 0:11:50It's finding this boy's master that will bring true peace
0:11:50 > 0:11:52to our streets, Inspector.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55I will do what I can still, but Thomas Gower will hang.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Would you look me in the eye and say you rest easy with that?
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Get out of here. Get out of here!
0:12:37 > 0:12:39These young that riot here, Lusk will use their violence
0:12:39 > 0:12:41to justify his place on our streets.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44And respect for badge and uniform suffer further, sir.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Oi!
0:12:48 > 0:12:49Oi!
0:12:49 > 0:12:51BOYS SHOUT
0:12:51 > 0:12:53BOYS LAUGH
0:12:55 > 0:12:56Oi!
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Not so fast now, are ya? Eh?
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Wait. This name on your knuckles, what does that stand for?
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Do you know Thomas Gower?
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Tom Gower? Of course I do and he'll never squeal on us, neither!
0:13:09 > 0:13:10Aargh!
0:13:10 > 0:13:12BOYS LAUGH
0:13:12 > 0:13:13Vicious little runt!
0:13:15 > 0:13:17What do you make of those markings? What is that?
0:13:17 > 0:13:19A brotherhood? A gang?
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Been gangs on these streets as long as there's been horse muck on them.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25They're not near as young and savage as these.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Then their hands must be guided by another.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33I would not tell him so, but there is something in Mr Eagles'
0:13:33 > 0:13:34position I might lean toward.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38We are to choke this boy now. But before we do,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41I would have a broader picture painted as to what and why.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Find Captain Jackson. Bring him back to the dead room. Tell him...
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Tell him I would have a more intimate study of our fellow, Manby.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54KNOCKING ON DOOR
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Good evening to you.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06God sends his confections for the poor boys what's incarcerated here.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15This way, sir.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Now, you tell me should any other come visit my boy.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32I will, sir.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43All right, Tom.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46You must be strong in your silence, lad.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52TOM CRIES
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Rose, what...
0:15:09 > 0:15:10Sergeant Drake bid me wake you.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I've been looking for you all night.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17I should have thought to search the gutters. Where you been?
0:15:37 > 0:15:38I don't know.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39Get up!
0:15:52 > 0:15:53We cannot open it.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Thoughts?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Cigarettes? Vanity case?
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Murdered for that and tuppence ha'penny. No.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06We're getting inside there any time soon?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09We must be thorough, I suppose.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Drink this.
0:16:18 > 0:16:19What's in that, Reid?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Various. Magnesia for the heartburn.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Rum. Sugar syrup. Cocaine.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24Well, thank you.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26I'd have you happy in your workplace.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31JACKSON YELLS
0:16:31 > 0:16:33- You have a bite-block, Reid? - I do. I do.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Ratcheted.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36Well, look at you.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Huh.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49What? What is it?
0:16:49 > 0:16:50Take a look for yourself.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53His tongue is cut out!
0:16:54 > 0:16:57There's more in there than that, Reid.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Dental restorations.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Gold dental restorations.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07We're told the boy's motive was theft, are we not?
0:17:09 > 0:17:12He cuts the man's tongue out, yet disdains a year's worth
0:17:12 > 0:17:14of picked pockets sat right in his face.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17This was no smash and grab.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19There is a wider purpose here.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Make good what you have done.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Whatever you say, Reid.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35This matter of being dead - tell me it ain't all bad.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Always been a Manby on this street?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44My day, it was her old man.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47He didn't want the shop front changed.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49She kept her name, husband took hers.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Took both daughter and business for his own.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53What do you recall of the father?
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Only that he'd see me and my kind off, if we loitered too near.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59A version of Gower's luck was yours, too?
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Well, his ill manner and ignorance, certainly.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Drew the line at murder, however.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Perhaps the recruiting sergeants were the saving of you, Bennett.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Perhaps they were, sir.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11KNOCKING ON DOOR
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Early in the day to be disturbing so recent a widow, Inspector.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Early in the day to have stopped with her, Lusk.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Should those sewer rats seek reprisal,
0:18:22 > 0:18:25the widow knows she cannot rely on you for protection.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28She can look to us for questions, however, and provide answers.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33Your part in this matter is played, yet still you investigate?
0:18:34 > 0:18:38What questions would those be, Mr Reid?
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Excuse us, Ma'am.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43As to what connected your husband with this child.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Her loved husband's murder connected them, Reid!
0:18:46 > 0:18:48And that boy is under key and condemned for it.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Mrs Manby, do you know what these are?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55They are patent applications.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Such matters are costly.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00They are four pounds for every filing and there are many.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02I'm not sure your profits, given the volume,
0:19:02 > 0:19:04would have stretched sufficiently.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Where do you suppose he found the wherewithal?
0:19:08 > 0:19:11He wouldn't take from my daddy's till. Not never.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Then, do you see?
0:19:14 > 0:19:17I must ask myself from whom he took the loan of it.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21If he'd only speak, that boy could tell us, I'm sure.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57Have you lost the last of your Scotched brains?
0:19:57 > 0:19:58No.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01I forensicate myself.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02May a woman ask why?
0:20:02 > 0:20:05If she swears to serenity.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09You wait all morning to tell me that!
0:20:09 > 0:20:10Why would you do that?
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Because I knew how you'd react.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16I told you when we sailed. I begged it of you.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Put it in the ocean.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20How, now, would you prefer me to react?
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Maybe as if the world has not, in fact, just ended.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25An interested party gets their hands on that ring,
0:20:25 > 0:20:28the end of the world's exactly what we are looking at, you and I.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29Our life here? Finished.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42All right, boys, let's see how we're doing. Jack?
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Edmund. You are alive.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52You are here so often these days, I have forgot how you look.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Then you come to remind yourself, do you?
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Wanted a word with Mr Eagles.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01Two minutes, Mr Reid.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06- I should...- Emily.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12These, er, places, will ever make me think of you.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16The bells clanging, the faithful falling to their knees.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20And you and I at home,
0:21:20 > 0:21:23careless of God, abed in our sweat.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24I would have those Sundays back.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Well, we live in different times now.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Once I had no need of church.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37But now - coming here, speaking with Mr Eagles - I see that I do.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42So do you, Edmund, if you'd only accept that she is dead.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44What, Emily? What have you spoken to him of?
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Mr Reid. Should I find you a ladle?
0:21:51 > 0:21:52No!
0:21:52 > 0:21:54No, Eagles. Not today.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58I've a theory I would put to you -
0:21:58 > 0:22:00how your boy might recover his voice.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03I believe that tongue was taken as proof of the death itself.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06It was Manby himself who was the aim of the assault,
0:22:06 > 0:22:08not what was on his person.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10We have enjoyed welcoming Mrs Reid at worship
0:22:10 > 0:22:12and hope that the comfort she has found there
0:22:12 > 0:22:14might be extended to yourself.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- Stay away from my wife, Eagles. - I simply ...
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Take as fact that God's law holds no fear for me.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- WEEPING WOMAN:- Oh, my God.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36They say it is a painless process.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Now, the executioner, Mr Berry, is a very clever man.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43It takes a person's weight to establish
0:22:43 > 0:22:45what length of rope they require.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Too long, they fall too far too fast
0:22:49 > 0:22:51and the head comes clean off.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Too short and the neck is strangled, instead of dislocated.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58- CHAPLAIN:- I say more than they...
0:22:59 > 0:23:01There's not much of you, is there?
0:23:02 > 0:23:06Wouldn't have thought you'd need much more than...ten foot.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Now, if it was you that ended that old man's life, I cannot say.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19But this brotherhood you run with...
0:23:20 > 0:23:22..you make a practice of cutting
0:23:22 > 0:23:24men's tongues from their throats, do you?
0:23:24 > 0:23:25What, boy?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30It wasn't what he had on him, was it?
0:23:30 > 0:23:31Manby himself was the target.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33You must tell us who made him so.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36Two days, Thomas.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39I will stay beside you every hour until.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41But this end awaits you...
0:23:41 > 0:23:43unless you talk to us.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48I have you.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54What ring is it that you've lost?
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Was it the one you wear about your neck?
0:24:56 > 0:25:00I weren't eavesdropping. Promise. The whole house heard her.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Is it very valuable to you?
0:25:08 > 0:25:10It belonged to a man that I knew.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12A good friend. A, er...
0:25:14 > 0:25:15..brother.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17Dead now.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Mr Eagles!
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Thomas?
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Shh! It ain't safe here.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36What do you mean?
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Please. It ain't.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41If you want me to tell you what I know,
0:25:41 > 0:25:43you get that bluebottle and fetch me out of here.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44You understand?
0:25:45 > 0:25:49- I go to send word.- Mr Eagles, will I go to hell for this?
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Your bravery will save you and all others who serve this man.
0:25:53 > 0:25:54I will be back. And soon.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Ready them.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26Mr Reid, sir!
0:26:27 > 0:26:28From Mr Eagles, sir.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Have a Maria readied and despatched for Newgate.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Hobbs, you travel with them. You tell no-one, you keep him hid.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47BOYS CHANT
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Whoa!
0:27:33 > 0:27:35HORSES WHINNY
0:27:40 > 0:27:42The way's... The way's barricaded.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45You, man! Stop!
0:27:45 > 0:27:46Wait there, Thomas.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49No, Thomas. You're to wait inside.
0:27:52 > 0:27:53Thomas Gower!
0:27:56 > 0:27:59The love we bear you. Does that not mean nothing to you?
0:28:00 > 0:28:01Squeal, would ya?
0:28:02 > 0:28:03Me and your brothers?
0:28:04 > 0:28:07You know we cannot let you live now, Tom.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Hey?
0:28:10 > 0:28:11You shall not take him.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13You shall not!
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Who is this man that stops me?
0:28:18 > 0:28:20My name is Patrick Eagles.
0:28:24 > 0:28:25You pass through me first.
0:28:27 > 0:28:28You, run.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Mr Eagles, no!
0:28:30 > 0:28:31Run. Thomas, run!
0:28:34 > 0:28:36I'd know your name, sir,
0:28:36 > 0:28:37before I crack your skull.
0:28:38 > 0:28:39Now, Thomas. Go!
0:28:39 > 0:28:40Go on.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43I said I'd know your name.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Or do you give it only to the farm animals you lie with?
0:28:47 > 0:28:50BOYS CHANT AND JEER
0:28:50 > 0:28:51EAGLES GROANS
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Inspector! Inspector!
0:29:14 > 0:29:15Inspector Reid!
0:29:15 > 0:29:18The streets sing with rumours of your folly.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Can it be true you've lost him?
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Remember, Reid. Boys from gaslights.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Are you here on this earth to bring me to murder?
0:29:25 > 0:29:26You keep the peace!
0:29:26 > 0:29:30See how he loses command of the streets and now of himself?
0:29:30 > 0:29:31Get your hands off me!
0:29:31 > 0:29:33These children run riot over him.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43The lawyer.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46Signs signature - belt buckle.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48Signs less so.
0:29:50 > 0:29:51It's a ring.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53- DRAKE:- Sir.
0:29:59 > 0:30:00Look at me, Constable.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04It is a fool who joins a fight he cannot win.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08I would far rather have you here, alive talking to me, than otherwise.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Have you seen this man before?
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Some kind of Scouser, I think.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Scouse!?
0:30:14 > 0:30:17And he had these tattoos, Sir, all about his hands.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21You know, picture cards. Like the youth has and a hundred more.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27Who is this that brings his way of life to my streets? A usurer?
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Who kills for monies left unpaid, then gulls and fits
0:30:30 > 0:30:31young boys for his own violence.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34And now hunts one such, before he'd tell us what he knows.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Then we must hunt Thomas Gower also, but faster and smarter.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39Hobbs, you go to records.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42We need to find somewhere that he might consider safe, as home.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44You search every record and birth certificate of every family
0:30:44 > 0:30:46- that might match his name.- Yes, sir.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Sergeant, get yourself to Newgate.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50My guess is that ship's sprung a leak.
0:30:50 > 0:30:51And I think I know where.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01He's your brother.
0:31:01 > 0:31:07His world - it starts and ends in the same place as yours does.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11And yet you still can't find him.
0:31:17 > 0:31:18Now...
0:31:20 > 0:31:21..you get back out there,
0:31:21 > 0:31:25and you return only should you have something of value to report.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32Gower. Thomas. Years 1872 to '78.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37You, there, I want a word with you!
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Who is he? Who'd you tell?
0:31:51 > 0:31:54Just a man. Like you.
0:31:54 > 0:31:55Come to me with threats and violence.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- Name!- He never gave it.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03Honest. See me for the coward I am.
0:32:03 > 0:32:04I'd tell you if I knew.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12I don't know why you all care so much about one boy.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14One little Christ-killer.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18What d'you call him?
0:32:18 > 0:32:22Saw his little prick when we scrubbed him. He's cut.
0:32:23 > 0:32:24It's a Jewboy you fight for.
0:32:31 > 0:32:32- Well?- Nothing, sir.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Keep looking.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Throw out the Gentiles.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Jewish?
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Mr Reid, sir.
0:32:48 > 0:32:49I have him!
0:32:53 > 0:32:55The orphanage off Castlemaine.
0:33:20 > 0:33:21I have not seen him
0:33:21 > 0:33:24since the day you delivered him to the hangman.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27I don't know why you believe he would return.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29Because he owes his name to you.
0:33:32 > 0:33:33An English name.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39It was an English world in which he hoped to survive.
0:33:39 > 0:33:40He had none he was born with?
0:33:42 > 0:33:43He might have.
0:33:44 > 0:33:49The cruelty men found him, trapping rats for food in a railway yard.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53He was eight and knew no parent to tell him it.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55And you became that parent...
0:33:57 > 0:33:58..that person to whom he may now turn.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Miss Goren, you will get word to me
0:34:02 > 0:34:04should he come to you for refuge, will you not?
0:34:05 > 0:34:07I will, Inspector.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Then I thank you.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23She lies. Or she is soon to.
0:34:23 > 0:34:24We wait.
0:34:52 > 0:34:53No girls. Are you sure?
0:34:55 > 0:35:00If there was, I would have enjoyed one. I checked.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02I did not.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Listen to me!
0:35:04 > 0:35:05That ring was on his fist
0:35:05 > 0:35:07when he beat a man to death with it only last night.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10He's an evil one.
0:35:10 > 0:35:11You be wary.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14You forget who we are? What we have done?
0:36:02 > 0:36:05Get out! Get out! Don't come back here, till you have him!
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Who is this that intrudes here?
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Woman, how do you know where to find me?
0:36:30 > 0:36:32I know many things.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34How to make a man rich, for example.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36You would serve me well.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39- Serve you?- Indeed.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48You make me equity partner in this here enterprise of yours,
0:36:48 > 0:36:50you will feel our benefit.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56You're touched or you're drunk...
0:36:59 > 0:37:00..or you're both.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03No, sir, I'm neither.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05Imagine...
0:37:05 > 0:37:08I bring my girls into your service.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Their, erm, encouragements,
0:37:10 > 0:37:13inflame men to greater exploits at your tables.
0:37:15 > 0:37:19Any losses you suffer will be recouped by way of the pointed
0:37:19 > 0:37:22lust your briefly-enriched patrons exert upon the girls
0:37:22 > 0:37:23who've aroused them so.
0:37:27 > 0:37:28You are indeed...
0:37:32 > 0:37:33..a woman.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46And you're indeed a man.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53Will you show me your tables?
0:37:53 > 0:37:54Place a bet?
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Perhaps we may rehearse our intentions a little.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46The woman! Stop her! Stop her!
0:38:58 > 0:38:59No, stop!
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Steal from me, would you?
0:39:04 > 0:39:08Let me think of what I shall take from you in return.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10This pretty nose, perhaps?
0:39:10 > 0:39:12GUNSHOT
0:39:15 > 0:39:17- Drop that.- Drop her.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21That ring is ours and she's mine.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28This I give to you.
0:39:29 > 0:39:30That's not enough. Not near.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Well, I guess we're at a pass, you and me.
0:39:37 > 0:39:38We are.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!
0:39:46 > 0:39:50I have more to trade. I have, erm, information.
0:39:50 > 0:39:51Valuable information about...
0:39:54 > 0:39:56..Thomas Gower.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04See, Sergeant, she goes to him.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13Thomas, this will always be your home, but we must find an answer...
0:40:13 > 0:40:15The answer may have found you.
0:40:16 > 0:40:17You will not take him ...
0:40:17 > 0:40:20I can keep him safe, Miss Goren. The street cannot.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24- How is he called, this Scouse you hide from?- Please...- Carmichael.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26..don't be rough with him, he's only a boy!
0:40:26 > 0:40:27And you collect his debt for him?
0:40:27 > 0:40:31- Debt, my arse.- Then what, Thomas? What work does he set you to?
0:40:31 > 0:40:32WHISTLING
0:40:32 > 0:40:34It's him!
0:40:34 > 0:40:36CHILDREN CHANT
0:40:36 > 0:40:37Upstairs.
0:40:37 > 0:40:42THEY CHANT
0:40:50 > 0:40:51Keep him hid.
0:40:55 > 0:40:56Come now. Come.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Inspector!
0:41:04 > 0:41:05A parlay, sir.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11You have nowhere to go!
0:41:23 > 0:41:24What is your aim here?
0:41:27 > 0:41:29To have my boy returned where he belong
0:41:29 > 0:41:34and then we can all go home, safe and warm.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36If I choose to deny you this?
0:41:41 > 0:41:44Do you have children, Inspector?
0:41:45 > 0:41:49But if you do not, I pity you.
0:41:49 > 0:41:54The love they bear you. You see this youth here?
0:41:56 > 0:41:58No idea what that youth will do for me, do ya?
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Own a grown man's savagery, for example.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09I tell him to tear this place apart and everybody -
0:42:09 > 0:42:13young and old - inside and they'll do it and they'll thank me.
0:42:16 > 0:42:22Now, what manner of atrocity do you wish to be served here?
0:42:23 > 0:42:24Will you give him up or no?
0:42:30 > 0:42:31I will not.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33His word will send you to the rope.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36He is my prisoner and in my protection.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41Then, at the time of my choosing, Inspector...
0:42:42 > 0:42:45..we will end you all this night!
0:42:45 > 0:42:49There will be nothing left to indicate who or what
0:42:49 > 0:42:51took place here.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53It will be my Passover!
0:42:56 > 0:42:57And it will be on your head.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11These walls and doors are sturdy enough. We are secure.
0:43:12 > 0:43:16They are still not many, cannot stay outside for ever. All will be well.
0:43:17 > 0:43:21Did you hear what the Inspector said? All will be well.
0:43:21 > 0:43:26Perhaps if we ask him nicely, he may put you to your beds.
0:43:26 > 0:43:27What do you think?
0:43:47 > 0:43:49Which one is yours?
0:44:23 > 0:44:24Head up, lad.
0:44:25 > 0:44:26No good ever came from moping.
0:44:44 > 0:44:45This one, Mr Lusk.
0:44:47 > 0:44:48Thomas Gower.
0:44:57 > 0:44:59You. To what end do you bother me?
0:44:59 > 0:45:00I bring you news.
0:45:00 > 0:45:03Which, if acted on, will bring you all you seek.
0:45:09 > 0:45:13These children? Do you know where they have come from?
0:45:14 > 0:45:15Not all, no.
0:45:20 > 0:45:25If a girl, say, was brought to you and had perhaps lost
0:45:25 > 0:45:28the memory of her home and her name, would you take her in?
0:45:29 > 0:45:32I would, yes.
0:45:32 > 0:45:34And I would hope that, in time,
0:45:34 > 0:45:36her name, her memory, would return to her.
0:45:38 > 0:45:40(Children...)
0:45:40 > 0:45:44Men say some are born evil, others blameless.
0:45:44 > 0:45:48The truth, in my experience, is simpler. They are mirrors -
0:45:48 > 0:45:51as evil, or as innocent as the world that gives life to them.
0:45:51 > 0:45:55And this world - I need not to tell you this, sir - this world is a wicked one.
0:45:55 > 0:45:57Then why, why do you take on this burden of care?
0:45:57 > 0:45:59I am a secular woman, Inspector.
0:45:59 > 0:46:03I have seen too much of the truth of things to be otherwise.
0:46:03 > 0:46:06But this of my faith I hold onto -
0:46:06 > 0:46:09"Save but one life and you save the world entire."
0:46:19 > 0:46:22What does this stand for, anyway?
0:46:25 > 0:46:27I got some of me own, you know.
0:46:35 > 0:46:36Came by it in Egypt.
0:46:36 > 0:46:38In the army?
0:46:39 > 0:46:42Holy man painted it - made offerings and prayers for me,
0:46:42 > 0:46:44in his tent, in the desert.
0:46:45 > 0:46:47Said it would let me sleep.
0:46:49 > 0:46:50What d'you need 'em for?
0:46:52 > 0:46:54Things I kept seeing.
0:46:55 > 0:46:57Things I didn't want to see.
0:47:00 > 0:47:02Fair dos, then. Your go.
0:47:08 > 0:47:10Pictures mean different things.
0:47:12 > 0:47:13King's a mugging,
0:47:13 > 0:47:15Knave's a house-break.
0:47:24 > 0:47:26No Queens?
0:47:27 > 0:47:28Queen's a rape.
0:47:28 > 0:47:31And Manby? Which is he?
0:47:52 > 0:47:55We ain't supposed to take none their belongings.
0:47:55 > 0:47:56Save for their tongues.
0:47:58 > 0:47:59Save that.
0:48:17 > 0:48:22He was ruining her. His inventions and his patent applications.
0:48:22 > 0:48:25Had his hands in her Daddy's till, after all.
0:48:25 > 0:48:27It wasn't a debt you were collecting, was it?
0:48:27 > 0:48:32Carmichael is paid to have men killed...correct?
0:48:32 > 0:48:35And he instructs you in the killing of them.
0:48:35 > 0:48:37Their tongue cut clean to prove it.
0:48:42 > 0:48:46- The wife paid. - All I knew, she wanted him gone.
0:48:52 > 0:48:53CRASHING
0:49:05 > 0:49:08- Out of your beds! Out of your beds! - Get in the corner!
0:49:11 > 0:49:12BANGING
0:49:12 > 0:49:14ORPHANS SCREAM
0:49:14 > 0:49:16Down. Down.
0:49:17 > 0:49:19- Sergeant.- Oi!
0:49:32 > 0:49:33At them!
0:49:34 > 0:49:36Get at them!
0:49:41 > 0:49:42SCREAMING
0:49:48 > 0:49:49Inspector!
0:49:49 > 0:49:50How about it?
0:49:50 > 0:49:51Me and you?
0:50:10 > 0:50:13SCREAMING
0:50:33 > 0:50:35Woman, you are dead!
0:50:39 > 0:50:41Oi, Liverpool!
0:50:41 > 0:50:43Stand aside for the Vigilance Men.
0:50:48 > 0:50:49Thomas Gower?!
0:50:53 > 0:50:54Where are you, boy?
0:50:59 > 0:51:00It's time you came home, lad.
0:51:03 > 0:51:05GUNSHOT
0:51:05 > 0:51:06SCREAMING AND CRYING
0:51:23 > 0:51:25Grab 'em. Quick!
0:51:37 > 0:51:39I'll take that boy, now...
0:51:39 > 0:51:41as recompense for my actions here.
0:51:43 > 0:51:46And I will tell you what I told this man...
0:51:47 > 0:51:49..that he is my prisoner and in my protection.
0:51:54 > 0:51:58You think yourself above the law, you'd best start acting as such.
0:52:09 > 0:52:10Come on, out!
0:52:15 > 0:52:18Now, whatever has passed here, whatever we say of you,
0:52:18 > 0:52:22that you were Carmichael's creature in all of this. We cannot be certain the courts will agree.
0:52:22 > 0:52:24You get him away. Far away.
0:52:25 > 0:52:27Go with him, Thomas.
0:52:47 > 0:52:51Thank you, sir, he'll make a great little soldier.
0:52:58 > 0:53:01His name's Sergeant Randall and you do as he says.
0:53:02 > 0:53:04Now, I've told him you are 18.
0:53:04 > 0:53:07The ship leaves Gravesend in the morning.
0:53:08 > 0:53:09You're saving me?
0:53:09 > 0:53:12No. I do no such thing.
0:53:12 > 0:53:16Where you go to, all you've yet known will seem no more
0:53:16 > 0:53:18than a Sunday fair.
0:53:23 > 0:53:24Here.
0:53:34 > 0:53:36In you get, lad.
0:53:36 > 0:53:37Look sharp.
0:53:42 > 0:53:43Carmichael's ring.
0:53:46 > 0:53:48So I see.
0:53:51 > 0:53:53And what perplexes me...
0:53:53 > 0:53:56is that two years previous, there was a wire
0:53:56 > 0:53:59from your Pinkerton brothers in Chicago.
0:54:00 > 0:54:04The name sent to the constabularies of the known world -
0:54:04 > 0:54:07"Search for a man, alive or dead,"
0:54:07 > 0:54:10and if you look here...
0:54:10 > 0:54:14engraved in the inner is the very same name...
0:54:16 > 0:54:18..Matthew Judge.
0:54:21 > 0:54:22Tell me,
0:54:22 > 0:54:26did you chance upon that name during your time with the Pinkertons?
0:54:29 > 0:54:30No.
0:54:31 > 0:54:34No, Reid. I can't really say that I have.
0:54:36 > 0:54:39- I thought it worth asking. - Always worth that.
0:54:42 > 0:54:44A sergeant's rate. Computed daily.
0:54:47 > 0:54:50What I shall pay you for your services. Does it wash?
0:54:54 > 0:54:59Do not dicker with me, Captain. You are of great service to me.
0:54:59 > 0:55:01You have saved souls this past night.
0:55:01 > 0:55:05But...do not think my curiosity, as to how you knew I needed such,
0:55:05 > 0:55:06is easily put to bed.
0:55:09 > 0:55:11Well, then, it washes.
0:55:18 > 0:55:19Did you return that wire?
0:55:21 > 0:55:24- From the Pinks.- Oh, I did. I did.
0:55:24 > 0:55:28Told them the ring was recovered from a murderous kidsman.
0:55:28 > 0:55:32And that if their Matthew Judge was anything, he was dead.
0:55:46 > 0:55:48WOMAN SCREAMING HYSTERICALLY
0:55:50 > 0:55:56You! I will haunt you and drag you to hell with me!
0:55:59 > 0:56:01Go home, Sergeant.
0:56:04 > 0:56:05Thank you, sir.
0:56:19 > 0:56:23WHISPERED PRAYER
0:56:42 > 0:56:43You pray for Mr Eagles.
0:56:46 > 0:56:49It is a waste... A terrible waste.
0:56:49 > 0:56:51It is not.
0:56:52 > 0:56:54A child breathes that would not have.
0:56:54 > 0:56:57Had Mr Eagles lived, many more would have come to thank him.
0:57:00 > 0:57:03"Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire."
0:57:09 > 0:57:12It is from the Talmud, I believe.
0:57:20 > 0:57:25Emily, I know what you told Mr Eagles. You had no business doing so.
0:57:26 > 0:57:28What am I to do, Edmund?
0:57:31 > 0:57:32I mourn her.
0:57:34 > 0:57:37And because you will not, I must do so alone.
0:57:39 > 0:57:41Mr Eagles was kind to me.
0:57:41 > 0:57:43He allowed me to speak of her.
0:57:45 > 0:57:47To imagine her in heaven.
0:57:47 > 0:57:51To imagine a life... beyond this pain.
0:57:54 > 0:57:56- Would you deny me that? - I would take your pain.
0:57:57 > 0:58:02I would amplify it a hundredfold and bear it for you every day of what remains of my life.
0:58:02 > 0:58:06But...I cannot do what you ask.
0:58:14 > 0:58:17You listen to me. You stay with me.
0:58:17 > 0:58:18You stay alive. Stay alive.
0:58:18 > 0:58:20You live.
0:58:20 > 0:58:22You stay with me.
0:58:22 > 0:58:23Please.
0:58:26 > 0:58:28I will do anything.
