0:00:020:00:08

All you young soldiers, next week, we shall have cavalry.

0:00:080:00:11

Horses which will run and cannon which will fire!

0:00:110:00:14

We at the Manby Emporium, we never shall rest

0:00:170:00:20

to bring you children joy.

0:00:200:00:22

HE COUGHS

0:00:250:00:28

Nice and tight now.

0:00:280:00:29

They will not deny us their patent this time.

0:00:300:00:33

Oh, no, not for you, my beauty.

0:00:330:00:38

Let's see how this one does, eh?

0:00:510:00:53

HE CHUCKLES

0:00:530:00:55

You'll see.

0:00:550:00:56

Come on, out me way. Go on, go on.

0:01:000:01:03

Wish me luck, boy.

0:01:110:01:12

Toymaker. Found this morning in an alley off the High Road.

0:02:500:02:53

Dead man in Whitechapel - the world chokes on its breakfast.

0:02:530:02:56

It is our work, Captain.

0:02:560:02:57

It is yours, Reid. Me, I have other matters to attend to.

0:02:570:03:00

Hanging off a tart's tit?

0:03:000:03:02

Don't knock it till you've tried it, Sergeant.

0:03:020:03:04

Reid, I'm serious, I'm not...

0:03:040:03:07

Reid, what is this?

0:03:120:03:13

A 63-year-old man.

0:03:150:03:16

Series of wounds and fractures to the skull and jaw.

0:03:160:03:19

No. I mean this.

0:03:190:03:21

This is your new dead room.

0:03:220:03:23

Now, look here.

0:03:260:03:27

Curved indentations to the cheek and to the forehead.

0:03:270:03:31

Belt buckle.

0:03:340:03:36

Belt buckl-...

0:03:360:03:37

You see, now this is why I send for you.

0:03:370:03:39

What do you mean "mine"?

0:03:390:03:41

These are to the specification you described, is it not?

0:03:410:03:45

Now would you look here. Jaw flattened and the skull stoved in.

0:03:460:03:50

Hot water, too.

0:03:520:03:54

Your description was very precise.

0:03:540:03:56

It may well have been, Reid, but I was talking about

0:03:560:03:58

the John Hopkins in Baltimore, not a cop shop in East London.

0:03:580:04:01

Should we not aspire so high, you and I?

0:04:050:04:08

The mortis is set in. You'll have to wait to get in there.

0:04:210:04:23

This, though...

0:04:260:04:27

-Drake, a measuring tape.

-Ah, drawer, top.

0:04:290:04:32

He has a name, this man. It's Manby.

0:04:340:04:39

And he has served the good children of this borough

0:04:390:04:41

a sight longer than you have whored through it.

0:04:410:04:43

Thank you, nurse.

0:04:430:04:45

-It's a small boot.

-How small?

0:04:510:04:53

-Small.

-Mr Reid, sir. The Vigilance Committee marches on us.

0:04:530:04:59

Reid, now, this room, I'm flattered,

0:05:050:05:09

but I have made no call to be deputised.

0:05:090:05:12

You would sooner return to your...

0:05:120:05:14

in-growing toenails and hawking snake oil?

0:05:140:05:17

Toenails and snake oil mean bread and whisky.

0:05:170:05:19

And how exactly do you intend to compensate for monies

0:05:190:05:22

left unearned, whilst I lead you from ignorance here?

0:05:220:05:25

Reid.

0:05:290:05:30

ANGRY COMMOTION

0:05:330:05:36

What's this, George Lusk? Finally decided on applying for uniform?

0:05:440:05:49

If matters weren't so grave, I'd be inclined to enjoy your comedy.

0:05:500:05:53

No, Inspector.

0:05:550:05:56

The men of Whitechapel do your job for you once more.

0:05:560:06:00

CROWD SHOUTS AGREEMENT

0:06:000:06:01

Thomas Gower. The lad what robbed and killed our toy seller.

0:06:050:06:11

CROWD JEERS

0:06:110:06:13

The Emergency Patrols were disbanded three month ago.

0:06:140:06:18

You vigilantes were stood down.

0:06:180:06:20

On whose say?

0:06:200:06:22

It's not for you to tell us

0:06:220:06:23

when we may organise, in defence of our community.

0:06:230:06:26

Better still, you thank us -

0:06:260:06:28

and consider yourself fortunate we bring a culprit across to ya.

0:06:280:06:31

I consider myself nothing of the kind when it comes to your presence

0:06:310:06:34

in this world, Lusk.

0:06:340:06:35

Now, this boy has done what you say, he will feel my outrage.

0:06:350:06:39

But I will not simply take YOUR word for it. Not you, Lusk.

0:06:390:06:42

Your own offences are as bad as the felons you hunt.

0:06:420:06:45

I don't ask you to.

0:06:450:06:46

These were found on the boy.

0:06:490:06:50

It's got its maker's mark on it.

0:06:520:06:54

And I have five witnesses saw him

0:06:550:06:58

leave the alleyway not two minutes before old Manby was come upon.

0:06:580:07:01

CROWD JEER

0:07:010:07:03

Names. Sworn statements.

0:07:030:07:06

That boy is to feel punishment.

0:07:100:07:11

He does not and we will string up every street Arab in the quarter

0:07:110:07:17

from the gaslights of the High Road!

0:07:170:07:19

CROWD JEERS

0:07:190:07:21

Get up!

0:07:240:07:26

Look at me, boy.

0:07:310:07:32

There's an army out there ready to roast you on their spit.

0:07:340:07:37

Look at him!

0:07:370:07:38

You see how a story emerges here that fits you for this crime?

0:07:390:07:43

I would be wary of this silence.

0:07:530:07:55

It may oblige me to send you to trial.

0:07:550:07:58

BOY SPITS

0:07:580:07:59

BOY CRIES OUT

0:08:000:08:01

DOOR SLAMS

0:08:070:08:09

Quiet in court.

0:08:170:08:19

The jury return with their verdict.

0:08:200:08:23

Boy's lawyer. Churches with my wife.

0:08:270:08:30

All rise!

0:08:330:08:34

How do you find the boy?

0:08:440:08:46

Guilty, your honour.

0:08:480:08:50

CHEERING FROM THE GALLERY

0:08:500:08:51

-WOMAN:

-That'll teach ya!

0:08:510:08:53

My thanks to our jury for the speedy delivery

0:08:530:08:56

of sound verdict.

0:08:560:08:58

However, given the boy's barely comprehensible

0:08:580:09:03

and continued silence,

0:09:030:09:05

does counsel wish to speak for him

0:09:050:09:07

before I pass sentence on his guilt?

0:09:070:09:09

My Lord, I do.

0:09:100:09:12

This is a child stood here.

0:09:140:09:16

I would hope that you might recognise that as an opportunity

0:09:160:09:20

to assert the sanctity of that childhood and to be merciful.

0:09:200:09:24

This boy and the others like him

0:09:240:09:26

who we would blame for the violence on our streets,

0:09:260:09:29

it is not they who we should punish,

0:09:290:09:31

but the Fagins who stand behind them, directing that violence.

0:09:310:09:34

These innocents, we should protect.

0:09:340:09:36

You would urge an attempt at reformation?

0:09:360:09:40

I would.

0:09:400:09:41

Reformation be damned, Mr Eagles.

0:09:410:09:44

This child, we shall make an example of him.

0:09:450:09:49

No, my Lord, please!

0:09:520:09:54

He is 14 years old and admits nothing of this crime.

0:09:540:09:57

-VOICES FROM THE GALLERY:

-Yeah!

0:09:580:10:01

Thomas Gower.

0:10:040:10:05

Three days hence, you will be taken to the gallows at Newgate,

0:10:060:10:10

where Mr Berry will deliver you

0:10:100:10:13

from this life and into the next.

0:10:130:10:16

CHEERING FROM THE GALLERY

0:10:160:10:18

Mrs Manby.

0:10:260:10:27

Inspector. I would thank you for your diligence and speed.

0:10:270:10:31

You and Mr Lusk, here.

0:10:310:10:34

You serve my husband and his memory well.

0:10:340:10:37

Inspector?

0:10:370:10:39

The boy is of tender years. The sentence...

0:10:390:10:42

..immoderate or apt?

0:10:430:10:45

My duty was to fetch the lad here.

0:10:450:10:47

All else is for greater men than I to settle.

0:10:470:10:49

Shame! Shame on you! You fetch a child to his murder,

0:10:490:10:52

wash your hands of him and call your duty served?

0:10:520:10:55

-Shame on you! Shame!

-Get out of here, Miss.

0:10:550:10:57

SHE SHOUTS IN YIDDISH

0:10:570:10:58

Justice may not make friends, Reid.

0:10:580:11:00

I will not be silent! I will not!

0:11:000:11:02

Is the Jewess on your ticket, is she?

0:11:030:11:05

I know her not, though she is of my mind.

0:11:050:11:08

Then shall I ask my Sergeant to return her,

0:11:080:11:10

so I may remind you both of the facts here?

0:11:100:11:12

That this condemned boy was brought to you beaten blue by his captor?

0:11:120:11:16

No, Mr Eagles. That the victim's belongings were about him,

0:11:160:11:20

-that five men saw him depart the scene at some speed soon after...

-Though none saw the act...

0:11:200:11:23

..that this boy is no stranger to violence.

0:11:230:11:26

And that finally, when presented with the opportunity,

0:11:260:11:29

he even now refuses to deny it.

0:11:290:11:31

Lusk and his hamheads have served an entire hymnal of guilt

0:11:310:11:34

and the world has sung from it.

0:11:340:11:36

Mr Reid, you are no stranger to the horrors of our city.

0:11:360:11:39

But have they poisoned your heart

0:11:390:11:41

so completely that you truly believe this boy - this boy alone -

0:11:410:11:44

capable of the savagery brought down on that man?

0:11:440:11:47

It's finding this boy's master that will bring true peace

0:11:470:11:50

to our streets, Inspector.

0:11:500:11:52

I will do what I can still, but Thomas Gower will hang.

0:11:520:11:55

Would you look me in the eye and say you rest easy with that?

0:11:560:11:58

Get out of here. Get out of here!

0:12:250:12:26

These young that riot here, Lusk will use their violence

0:12:370:12:39

to justify his place on our streets.

0:12:390:12:41

And respect for badge and uniform suffer further, sir.

0:12:410:12:44

Oi!

0:12:460:12:48

Oi!

0:12:480:12:49

BOYS SHOUT

0:12:490:12:51

BOYS LAUGH

0:12:510:12:53

Oi!

0:12:550:12:56

Not so fast now, are ya? Eh?

0:12:580:13:01

Wait. This name on your knuckles, what does that stand for?

0:13:010:13:04

Do you know Thomas Gower?

0:13:040:13:05

Tom Gower? Of course I do and he'll never squeal on us, neither!

0:13:050:13:09

Aargh!

0:13:090:13:10

BOYS LAUGH

0:13:100:13:12

Vicious little runt!

0:13:120:13:13

What do you make of those markings? What is that?

0:13:150:13:17

A brotherhood? A gang?

0:13:170:13:19

Been gangs on these streets as long as there's been horse muck on them.

0:13:200:13:23

They're not near as young and savage as these.

0:13:230:13:25

Then their hands must be guided by another.

0:13:250:13:28

I would not tell him so, but there is something in Mr Eagles'

0:13:300:13:33

position I might lean toward.

0:13:330:13:34

We are to choke this boy now. But before we do,

0:13:360:13:38

I would have a broader picture painted as to what and why.

0:13:380:13:41

Find Captain Jackson. Bring him back to the dead room. Tell him...

0:13:410:13:44

Tell him I would have a more intimate study of our fellow, Manby.

0:13:450:13:48

KNOCKING ON DOOR

0:13:520:13:54

Good evening to you.

0:14:000:14:02

God sends his confections for the poor boys what's incarcerated here.

0:14:020:14:06

This way, sir.

0:14:140:14:15

Now, you tell me should any other come visit my boy.

0:14:270:14:31

I will, sir.

0:14:310:14:32

All right, Tom.

0:14:410:14:43

You must be strong in your silence, lad.

0:14:440:14:46

TOM CRIES

0:14:490:14:52

Rose, what...

0:15:070:15:09

Sergeant Drake bid me wake you.

0:15:090:15:10

I've been looking for you all night.

0:15:120:15:14

I should have thought to search the gutters. Where you been?

0:15:140:15:17

I don't know.

0:15:370:15:38

Get up!

0:15:380:15:39

We cannot open it.

0:15:520:15:53

Thoughts?

0:15:550:15:57

Cigarettes? Vanity case?

0:15:570:15:59

Murdered for that and tuppence ha'penny. No.

0:15:590:16:02

We're getting inside there any time soon?

0:16:040:16:06

We must be thorough, I suppose.

0:16:070:16:09

Drink this.

0:16:090:16:11

What's in that, Reid?

0:16:180:16:19

Various. Magnesia for the heartburn.

0:16:190:16:21

Rum. Sugar syrup. Cocaine.

0:16:210:16:23

Well, thank you.

0:16:230:16:24

I'd have you happy in your workplace.

0:16:240:16:26

JACKSON YELLS

0:16:300:16:31

-You have a bite-block, Reid?

-I do. I do.

0:16:310:16:33

Ratcheted.

0:16:330:16:35

Well, look at you.

0:16:350:16:36

Huh.

0:16:450:16:47

What? What is it?

0:16:470:16:49

Take a look for yourself.

0:16:490:16:50

His tongue is cut out!

0:16:520:16:53

There's more in there than that, Reid.

0:16:540:16:57

Dental restorations.

0:17:000:17:02

Gold dental restorations.

0:17:020:17:04

We're told the boy's motive was theft, are we not?

0:17:050:17:07

He cuts the man's tongue out, yet disdains a year's worth

0:17:090:17:12

of picked pockets sat right in his face.

0:17:120:17:14

This was no smash and grab.

0:17:160:17:17

There is a wider purpose here.

0:17:170:17:19

Make good what you have done.

0:17:190:17:21

Whatever you say, Reid.

0:17:220:17:24

This matter of being dead - tell me it ain't all bad.

0:17:320:17:35

Always been a Manby on this street?

0:17:400:17:42

My day, it was her old man.

0:17:420:17:44

He didn't want the shop front changed.

0:17:440:17:47

She kept her name, husband took hers.

0:17:470:17:49

Took both daughter and business for his own.

0:17:490:17:51

What do you recall of the father?

0:17:510:17:53

Only that he'd see me and my kind off, if we loitered too near.

0:17:530:17:57

A version of Gower's luck was yours, too?

0:17:570:17:59

Well, his ill manner and ignorance, certainly.

0:17:590:18:02

Drew the line at murder, however.

0:18:020:18:04

Perhaps the recruiting sergeants were the saving of you, Bennett.

0:18:040:18:07

Perhaps they were, sir.

0:18:070:18:09

KNOCKING ON DOOR

0:18:090:18:11

Early in the day to be disturbing so recent a widow, Inspector.

0:18:130:18:17

Early in the day to have stopped with her, Lusk.

0:18:170:18:19

Should those sewer rats seek reprisal,

0:18:190:18:22

the widow knows she cannot rely on you for protection.

0:18:220:18:25

She can look to us for questions, however, and provide answers.

0:18:250:18:28

Your part in this matter is played, yet still you investigate?

0:18:290:18:33

What questions would those be, Mr Reid?

0:18:340:18:38

Excuse us, Ma'am.

0:18:380:18:40

As to what connected your husband with this child.

0:18:400:18:43

Her loved husband's murder connected them, Reid!

0:18:430:18:46

And that boy is under key and condemned for it.

0:18:460:18:48

Mrs Manby, do you know what these are?

0:18:490:18:52

They are patent applications.

0:18:530:18:55

Such matters are costly.

0:18:550:18:56

They are four pounds for every filing and there are many.

0:18:560:19:00

I'm not sure your profits, given the volume,

0:19:000:19:02

would have stretched sufficiently.

0:19:020:19:04

Where do you suppose he found the wherewithal?

0:19:040:19:06

He wouldn't take from my daddy's till. Not never.

0:19:080:19:11

Then, do you see?

0:19:120:19:14

I must ask myself from whom he took the loan of it.

0:19:140:19:17

If he'd only speak, that boy could tell us, I'm sure.

0:19:170:19:21

Have you lost the last of your Scotched brains?

0:19:530:19:57

No.

0:19:570:19:58

I forensicate myself.

0:19:580:20:01

May a woman ask why?

0:20:010:20:02

If she swears to serenity.

0:20:020:20:05

You wait all morning to tell me that!

0:20:060:20:09

Why would you do that?

0:20:090:20:10

Because I knew how you'd react.

0:20:100:20:13

I told you when we sailed. I begged it of you.

0:20:130:20:16

Put it in the ocean.

0:20:160:20:18

How, now, would you prefer me to react?

0:20:180:20:20

Maybe as if the world has not, in fact, just ended.

0:20:200:20:23

An interested party gets their hands on that ring,

0:20:230:20:25

the end of the world's exactly what we are looking at, you and I.

0:20:250:20:28

Our life here? Finished.

0:20:280:20:29

All right, boys, let's see how we're doing. Jack?

0:20:390:20:42

Edmund. You are alive.

0:20:460:20:49

You are here so often these days, I have forgot how you look.

0:20:490:20:52

Then you come to remind yourself, do you?

0:20:520:20:54

Wanted a word with Mr Eagles.

0:20:570:20:59

Two minutes, Mr Reid.

0:21:000:21:01

-I should...

-Emily.

0:21:040:21:06

These, er, places, will ever make me think of you.

0:21:080:21:12

The bells clanging, the faithful falling to their knees.

0:21:130:21:16

And you and I at home,

0:21:180:21:20

careless of God, abed in our sweat.

0:21:200:21:23

I would have those Sundays back.

0:21:230:21:24

Well, we live in different times now.

0:21:260:21:28

Once I had no need of church.

0:21:320:21:34

But now - coming here, speaking with Mr Eagles - I see that I do.

0:21:340:21:37

So do you, Edmund, if you'd only accept that she is dead.

0:21:380:21:42

What, Emily? What have you spoken to him of?

0:21:420:21:44

Mr Reid. Should I find you a ladle?

0:21:480:21:51

No!

0:21:510:21:52

No, Eagles. Not today.

0:21:520:21:54

I've a theory I would put to you -

0:21:550:21:58

how your boy might recover his voice.

0:21:580:22:00

I believe that tongue was taken as proof of the death itself.

0:22:000:22:03

It was Manby himself who was the aim of the assault,

0:22:030:22:06

not what was on his person.

0:22:060:22:08

We have enjoyed welcoming Mrs Reid at worship

0:22:080:22:10

and hope that the comfort she has found there

0:22:100:22:12

might be extended to yourself.

0:22:120:22:14

-Stay away from my wife, Eagles.

-I simply ...

0:22:140:22:16

Take as fact that God's law holds no fear for me.

0:22:160:22:19

-WEEPING WOMAN:

-Oh, my God.

0:22:310:22:33

They say it is a painless process.

0:22:340:22:36

Now, the executioner, Mr Berry, is a very clever man.

0:22:360:22:39

It takes a person's weight to establish

0:22:410:22:43

what length of rope they require.

0:22:430:22:45

Too long, they fall too far too fast

0:22:470:22:49

and the head comes clean off.

0:22:490:22:51

Too short and the neck is strangled, instead of dislocated.

0:22:510:22:55

-CHAPLAIN:

-I say more than they...

0:22:560:22:58

There's not much of you, is there?

0:22:590:23:01

Wouldn't have thought you'd need much more than...ten foot.

0:23:020:23:06

Now, if it was you that ended that old man's life, I cannot say.

0:23:130:23:17

But this brotherhood you run with...

0:23:170:23:19

..you make a practice of cutting

0:23:200:23:22

men's tongues from their throats, do you?

0:23:220:23:24

What, boy?

0:23:240:23:25

It wasn't what he had on him, was it?

0:23:280:23:30

Manby himself was the target.

0:23:300:23:31

You must tell us who made him so.

0:23:310:23:33

Two days, Thomas.

0:23:350:23:36

I will stay beside you every hour until.

0:23:360:23:39

But this end awaits you...

0:23:390:23:41

unless you talk to us.

0:23:410:23:43

I have you.

0:24:470:24:48

What ring is it that you've lost?

0:24:520:24:54

Was it the one you wear about your neck?

0:24:540:24:56

I weren't eavesdropping. Promise. The whole house heard her.

0:24:560:25:00

Is it very valuable to you?

0:25:020:25:04

It belonged to a man that I knew.

0:25:080:25:10

A good friend. A, er...

0:25:110:25:12

..brother.

0:25:140:25:15

Dead now.

0:25:160:25:17

Mr Eagles!

0:25:250:25:27

Thomas?

0:25:310:25:33

Shh! It ain't safe here.

0:25:330:25:35

What do you mean?

0:25:350:25:36

Please. It ain't.

0:25:360:25:38

If you want me to tell you what I know,

0:25:390:25:41

you get that bluebottle and fetch me out of here.

0:25:410:25:43

You understand?

0:25:430:25:44

-I go to send word.

-Mr Eagles, will I go to hell for this?

0:25:450:25:49

Your bravery will save you and all others who serve this man.

0:25:490:25:53

I will be back. And soon.

0:25:530:25:54

Ready them.

0:26:090:26:11

Mr Reid, sir!

0:26:250:26:26

From Mr Eagles, sir.

0:26:270:26:28

Have a Maria readied and despatched for Newgate.

0:26:320:26:35

Hobbs, you travel with them. You tell no-one, you keep him hid.

0:26:350:26:38

BOYS CHANT

0:26:430:26:47

Whoa!

0:27:310:27:33

HORSES WHINNY

0:27:330:27:35

The way's... The way's barricaded.

0:27:400:27:42

You, man! Stop!

0:27:430:27:45

Wait there, Thomas.

0:27:450:27:46

No, Thomas. You're to wait inside.

0:27:470:27:49

Thomas Gower!

0:27:520:27:53

The love we bear you. Does that not mean nothing to you?

0:27:560:27:59

Squeal, would ya?

0:28:000:28:01

Me and your brothers?

0:28:020:28:03

You know we cannot let you live now, Tom.

0:28:040:28:07

Hey?

0:28:080:28:10

You shall not take him.

0:28:100:28:11

You shall not!

0:28:110:28:13

Who is this man that stops me?

0:28:150:28:17

My name is Patrick Eagles.

0:28:180:28:20

You pass through me first.

0:28:240:28:25

You, run.

0:28:270:28:28

Mr Eagles, no!

0:28:280:28:30

Run. Thomas, run!

0:28:300:28:31

I'd know your name, sir,

0:28:340:28:36

before I crack your skull.

0:28:360:28:37

Now, Thomas. Go!

0:28:380:28:39

Go on.

0:28:390:28:40

I said I'd know your name.

0:28:410:28:43

Or do you give it only to the farm animals you lie with?

0:28:430:28:45

BOYS CHANT AND JEER

0:28:470:28:50

EAGLES GROANS

0:28:500:28:51

Inspector! Inspector!

0:29:100:29:12

Inspector Reid!

0:29:140:29:15

The streets sing with rumours of your folly.

0:29:150:29:18

Can it be true you've lost him?

0:29:180:29:20

Remember, Reid. Boys from gaslights.

0:29:200:29:22

Are you here on this earth to bring me to murder?

0:29:220:29:25

You keep the peace!

0:29:250:29:26

See how he loses command of the streets and now of himself?

0:29:260:29:30

Get your hands off me!

0:29:300:29:31

These children run riot over him.

0:29:310:29:33

The lawyer.

0:29:410:29:43

Signs signature - belt buckle.

0:29:440:29:46

Signs less so.

0:29:460:29:48

It's a ring.

0:29:500:29:51

-DRAKE:

-Sir.

0:29:510:29:53

Look at me, Constable.

0:29:590:30:00

It is a fool who joins a fight he cannot win.

0:30:010:30:04

I would far rather have you here, alive talking to me, than otherwise.

0:30:040:30:08

Have you seen this man before?

0:30:080:30:10

Some kind of Scouser, I think.

0:30:100:30:12

Scouse!?

0:30:120:30:14

And he had these tattoos, Sir, all about his hands.

0:30:140:30:17

You know, picture cards. Like the youth has and a hundred more.

0:30:180:30:21

Who is this that brings his way of life to my streets? A usurer?

0:30:230:30:27

Who kills for monies left unpaid, then gulls and fits

0:30:270:30:30

young boys for his own violence.

0:30:300:30:31

And now hunts one such, before he'd tell us what he knows.

0:30:310:30:34

Then we must hunt Thomas Gower also, but faster and smarter.

0:30:340:30:37

Hobbs, you go to records.

0:30:370:30:39

We need to find somewhere that he might consider safe, as home.

0:30:390:30:42

You search every record and birth certificate of every family

0:30:420:30:44

-that might match his name.

-Yes, sir.

0:30:440:30:46

Sergeant, get yourself to Newgate.

0:30:460:30:48

My guess is that ship's sprung a leak.

0:30:480:30:50

And I think I know where.

0:30:500:30:51

He's your brother.

0:30:580:31:01

His world - it starts and ends in the same place as yours does.

0:31:010:31:07

And yet you still can't find him.

0:31:090:31:11

Now...

0:31:170:31:18

..you get back out there,

0:31:200:31:21

and you return only should you have something of value to report.

0:31:210:31:25

Gower. Thomas. Years 1872 to '78.

0:31:280:31:32

You, there, I want a word with you!

0:31:350:31:37

Who is he? Who'd you tell?

0:31:470:31:50

Just a man. Like you.

0:31:510:31:54

Come to me with threats and violence.

0:31:540:31:55

-Name!

-He never gave it.

0:31:550:31:58

Honest. See me for the coward I am.

0:32:000:32:03

I'd tell you if I knew.

0:32:030:32:04

I don't know why you all care so much about one boy.

0:32:090:32:12

One little Christ-killer.

0:32:120:32:14

What d'you call him?

0:32:160:32:18

Saw his little prick when we scrubbed him. He's cut.

0:32:180:32:22

It's a Jewboy you fight for.

0:32:230:32:24

-Well?

-Nothing, sir.

0:32:310:32:32

Keep looking.

0:32:320:32:35

Throw out the Gentiles.

0:32:350:32:37

Jewish?

0:32:370:32:39

Mr Reid, sir.

0:32:440:32:46

I have him!

0:32:480:32:49

The orphanage off Castlemaine.

0:32:530:32:55

I have not seen him

0:33:200:33:21

since the day you delivered him to the hangman.

0:33:210:33:24

I don't know why you believe he would return.

0:33:240:33:27

Because he owes his name to you.

0:33:270:33:29

An English name.

0:33:320:33:33

It was an English world in which he hoped to survive.

0:33:350:33:39

He had none he was born with?

0:33:390:33:40

He might have.

0:33:420:33:43

The cruelty men found him, trapping rats for food in a railway yard.

0:33:440:33:49

He was eight and knew no parent to tell him it.

0:33:500:33:53

And you became that parent...

0:33:530:33:55

..that person to whom he may now turn.

0:33:570:33:58

Miss Goren, you will get word to me

0:34:000:34:02

should he come to you for refuge, will you not?

0:34:020:34:04

I will, Inspector.

0:34:050:34:07

Then I thank you.

0:34:100:34:12

She lies. Or she is soon to.

0:34:200:34:23

We wait.

0:34:230:34:24

No girls. Are you sure?

0:34:520:34:53

If there was, I would have enjoyed one. I checked.

0:34:550:35:00

I did not.

0:35:000:35:02

Listen to me!

0:35:020:35:04

That ring was on his fist

0:35:040:35:05

when he beat a man to death with it only last night.

0:35:050:35:07

He's an evil one.

0:35:070:35:10

You be wary.

0:35:100:35:11

You forget who we are? What we have done?

0:35:110:35:14

Get out! Get out! Don't come back here, till you have him!

0:36:020:36:05

Who is this that intrudes here?

0:36:210:36:24

Woman, how do you know where to find me?

0:36:250:36:28

I know many things.

0:36:300:36:32

How to make a man rich, for example.

0:36:320:36:34

You would serve me well.

0:36:340:36:36

-Serve you?

-Indeed.

0:36:360:36:39

You make me equity partner in this here enterprise of yours,

0:36:440:36:48

you will feel our benefit.

0:36:480:36:50

You're touched or you're drunk...

0:36:530:36:56

..or you're both.

0:36:590:37:00

No, sir, I'm neither.

0:37:010:37:03

Imagine...

0:37:030:37:05

I bring my girls into your service.

0:37:050:37:08

Their, erm, encouragements,

0:37:080:37:10

inflame men to greater exploits at your tables.

0:37:100:37:13

Any losses you suffer will be recouped by way of the pointed

0:37:150:37:19

lust your briefly-enriched patrons exert upon the girls

0:37:190:37:22

who've aroused them so.

0:37:220:37:23

You are indeed...

0:37:270:37:28

..a woman.

0:37:320:37:33

And you're indeed a man.

0:37:440:37:46

Will you show me your tables?

0:37:500:37:53

Place a bet?

0:37:530:37:54

Perhaps we may rehearse our intentions a little.

0:37:550:37:58

The woman! Stop her! Stop her!

0:38:430:38:46

No, stop!

0:38:580:38:59

Steal from me, would you?

0:39:020:39:04

Let me think of what I shall take from you in return.

0:39:040:39:08

This pretty nose, perhaps?

0:39:080:39:10

GUNSHOT

0:39:100:39:12

-Drop that.

-Drop her.

0:39:150:39:17

That ring is ours and she's mine.

0:39:190:39:21

This I give to you.

0:39:260:39:28

That's not enough. Not near.

0:39:290:39:30

Well, I guess we're at a pass, you and me.

0:39:350:39:37

We are.

0:39:370:39:38

Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!

0:39:420:39:45

I have more to trade. I have, erm, information.

0:39:460:39:50

Valuable information about...

0:39:500:39:51

..Thomas Gower.

0:39:540:39:56

See, Sergeant, she goes to him.

0:40:020:40:04

Thomas, this will always be your home, but we must find an answer...

0:40:090:40:13

The answer may have found you.

0:40:130:40:15

You will not take him ...

0:40:160:40:17

I can keep him safe, Miss Goren. The street cannot.

0:40:170:40:20

-How is he called, this Scouse you hide from?

-Please...

-Carmichael.

0:40:200:40:24

..don't be rough with him, he's only a boy!

0:40:240:40:26

And you collect his debt for him?

0:40:260:40:27

-Debt, my arse.

-Then what, Thomas? What work does he set you to?

0:40:270:40:31

WHISTLING

0:40:310:40:32

It's him!

0:40:320:40:34

CHILDREN CHANT

0:40:340:40:36

Upstairs.

0:40:360:40:37

THEY CHANT

0:40:370:40:42

Keep him hid.

0:40:500:40:51

Come now. Come.

0:40:550:40:56

Inspector!

0:40:560:40:58

A parlay, sir.

0:41:040:41:05

You have nowhere to go!

0:41:080:41:11

What is your aim here?

0:41:230:41:24

To have my boy returned where he belong

0:41:270:41:29

and then we can all go home, safe and warm.

0:41:290:41:34

If I choose to deny you this?

0:41:340:41:36

Do you have children, Inspector?

0:41:410:41:44

But if you do not, I pity you.

0:41:450:41:49

The love they bear you. You see this youth here?

0:41:490:41:54

No idea what that youth will do for me, do ya?

0:41:560:41:58

Own a grown man's savagery, for example.

0:42:000:42:03

I tell him to tear this place apart and everybody -

0:42:050:42:09

young and old - inside and they'll do it and they'll thank me.

0:42:090:42:13

Now, what manner of atrocity do you wish to be served here?

0:42:160:42:22

Will you give him up or no?

0:42:230:42:24

I will not.

0:42:300:42:31

His word will send you to the rope.

0:42:310:42:33

He is my prisoner and in my protection.

0:42:330:42:36

Then, at the time of my choosing, Inspector...

0:42:380:42:41

..we will end you all this night!

0:42:420:42:45

There will be nothing left to indicate who or what

0:42:450:42:49

took place here.

0:42:490:42:51

It will be my Passover!

0:42:510:42:53

And it will be on your head.

0:42:560:42:57

These walls and doors are sturdy enough. We are secure.

0:43:080:43:11

They are still not many, cannot stay outside for ever. All will be well.

0:43:120:43:16

Did you hear what the Inspector said? All will be well.

0:43:170:43:21

Perhaps if we ask him nicely, he may put you to your beds.

0:43:210:43:26

What do you think?

0:43:260:43:27

Which one is yours?

0:43:470:43:49

Head up, lad.

0:44:230:44:24

No good ever came from moping.

0:44:250:44:26

This one, Mr Lusk.

0:44:440:44:45

Thomas Gower.

0:44:470:44:48

You. To what end do you bother me?

0:44:570:44:59

I bring you news.

0:44:590:45:00

Which, if acted on, will bring you all you seek.

0:45:000:45:03

These children? Do you know where they have come from?

0:45:090:45:13

Not all, no.

0:45:140:45:15

If a girl, say, was brought to you and had perhaps lost

0:45:200:45:25

the memory of her home and her name, would you take her in?

0:45:250:45:28

I would, yes.

0:45:290:45:32

And I would hope that, in time,

0:45:320:45:34

her name, her memory, would return to her.

0:45:340:45:36

(Children...)

0:45:380:45:40

Men say some are born evil, others blameless.

0:45:400:45:44

The truth, in my experience, is simpler. They are mirrors -

0:45:440:45:48

as evil, or as innocent as the world that gives life to them.

0:45:480:45:51

And this world - I need not to tell you this, sir - this world is a wicked one.

0:45:510:45:55

Then why, why do you take on this burden of care?

0:45:550:45:57

I am a secular woman, Inspector.

0:45:570:45:59

I have seen too much of the truth of things to be otherwise.

0:45:590:46:03

But this of my faith I hold onto -

0:46:030:46:06

"Save but one life and you save the world entire."

0:46:060:46:09

What does this stand for, anyway?

0:46:190:46:22

I got some of me own, you know.

0:46:250:46:27

Came by it in Egypt.

0:46:350:46:36

In the army?

0:46:360:46:38

Holy man painted it - made offerings and prayers for me,

0:46:390:46:42

in his tent, in the desert.

0:46:420:46:44

Said it would let me sleep.

0:46:450:46:47

What d'you need 'em for?

0:46:490:46:50

Things I kept seeing.

0:46:520:46:54

Things I didn't want to see.

0:46:550:46:57

Fair dos, then. Your go.

0:47:000:47:02

Pictures mean different things.

0:47:080:47:10

King's a mugging,

0:47:120:47:13

Knave's a house-break.

0:47:130:47:15

No Queens?

0:47:240:47:26

Queen's a rape.

0:47:270:47:28

And Manby? Which is he?

0:47:280:47:31

We ain't supposed to take none their belongings.

0:47:520:47:55

Save for their tongues.

0:47:550:47:56

Save that.

0:47:580:47:59

He was ruining her. His inventions and his patent applications.

0:48:170:48:22

Had his hands in her Daddy's till, after all.

0:48:220:48:25

It wasn't a debt you were collecting, was it?

0:48:250:48:27

Carmichael is paid to have men killed...correct?

0:48:270:48:32

And he instructs you in the killing of them.

0:48:320:48:35

Their tongue cut clean to prove it.

0:48:350:48:37

-The wife paid.

-All I knew, she wanted him gone.

0:48:420:48:46

CRASHING

0:48:520:48:53

-Out of your beds! Out of your beds!

-Get in the corner!

0:49:050:49:08

BANGING

0:49:110:49:12

ORPHANS SCREAM

0:49:120:49:14

Down. Down.

0:49:140:49:16

-Sergeant.

-Oi!

0:49:170:49:19

At them!

0:49:320:49:33

Get at them!

0:49:340:49:36

SCREAMING

0:49:410:49:42

Inspector!

0:49:480:49:49

How about it?

0:49:490:49:50

Me and you?

0:49:500:49:51

SCREAMING

0:50:100:50:13

Woman, you are dead!

0:50:330:50:35

Oi, Liverpool!

0:50:390:50:41

Stand aside for the Vigilance Men.

0:50:410:50:43

Thomas Gower?!

0:50:480:50:49

Where are you, boy?

0:50:530:50:54

It's time you came home, lad.

0:50:590:51:00

GUNSHOT

0:51:030:51:05

SCREAMING AND CRYING

0:51:050:51:06

Grab 'em. Quick!

0:51:230:51:25

I'll take that boy, now...

0:51:370:51:39

as recompense for my actions here.

0:51:390:51:41

And I will tell you what I told this man...

0:51:430:51:46

..that he is my prisoner and in my protection.

0:51:470:51:49

You think yourself above the law, you'd best start acting as such.

0:51:540:51:58

Come on, out!

0:52:090:52:10

Now, whatever has passed here, whatever we say of you,

0:52:150:52:18

that you were Carmichael's creature in all of this. We cannot be certain the courts will agree.

0:52:180:52:22

You get him away. Far away.

0:52:220:52:24

Go with him, Thomas.

0:52:250:52:27

Thank you, sir, he'll make a great little soldier.

0:52:470:52:51

His name's Sergeant Randall and you do as he says.

0:52:580:53:01

Now, I've told him you are 18.

0:53:020:53:04

The ship leaves Gravesend in the morning.

0:53:040:53:07

You're saving me?

0:53:080:53:09

No. I do no such thing.

0:53:090:53:12

Where you go to, all you've yet known will seem no more

0:53:120:53:16

than a Sunday fair.

0:53:160:53:18

Here.

0:53:230:53:24

In you get, lad.

0:53:340:53:36

Look sharp.

0:53:360:53:37

Carmichael's ring.

0:53:420:53:43

So I see.

0:53:460:53:48

And what perplexes me...

0:53:510:53:53

is that two years previous, there was a wire

0:53:530:53:56

from your Pinkerton brothers in Chicago.

0:53:560:53:59

The name sent to the constabularies of the known world -

0:54:000:54:04

"Search for a man, alive or dead,"

0:54:040:54:07

and if you look here...

0:54:070:54:10

engraved in the inner is the very same name...

0:54:100:54:14

..Matthew Judge.

0:54:160:54:18

Tell me,

0:54:210:54:22

did you chance upon that name during your time with the Pinkertons?

0:54:220:54:26

No.

0:54:290:54:30

No, Reid. I can't really say that I have.

0:54:310:54:34

-I thought it worth asking.

-Always worth that.

0:54:360:54:39

A sergeant's rate. Computed daily.

0:54:420:54:44

What I shall pay you for your services. Does it wash?

0:54:470:54:50

Do not dicker with me, Captain. You are of great service to me.

0:54:540:54:59

You have saved souls this past night.

0:54:590:55:01

But...do not think my curiosity, as to how you knew I needed such,

0:55:010:55:05

is easily put to bed.

0:55:050:55:06

Well, then, it washes.

0:55:090:55:11

Did you return that wire?

0:55:180:55:19

-From the Pinks.

-Oh, I did. I did.

0:55:210:55:24

Told them the ring was recovered from a murderous kidsman.

0:55:240:55:28

And that if their Matthew Judge was anything, he was dead.

0:55:280:55:32

WOMAN SCREAMING HYSTERICALLY

0:55:460:55:48

You! I will haunt you and drag you to hell with me!

0:55:500:55:56

Go home, Sergeant.

0:55:590:56:01

Thank you, sir.

0:56:040:56:05

WHISPERED PRAYER

0:56:190:56:23

You pray for Mr Eagles.

0:56:420:56:43

It is a waste... A terrible waste.

0:56:460:56:49

It is not.

0:56:490:56:51

A child breathes that would not have.

0:56:520:56:54

Had Mr Eagles lived, many more would have come to thank him.

0:56:540:56:57

"Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire."

0:57:000:57:03

It is from the Talmud, I believe.

0:57:090:57:12

Emily, I know what you told Mr Eagles. You had no business doing so.

0:57:200:57:25

What am I to do, Edmund?

0:57:260:57:28

I mourn her.

0:57:310:57:32

And because you will not, I must do so alone.

0:57:340:57:37

Mr Eagles was kind to me.

0:57:390:57:41

He allowed me to speak of her.

0:57:410:57:43

To imagine her in heaven.

0:57:450:57:47

To imagine a life... beyond this pain.

0:57:470:57:51

-Would you deny me that?

-I would take your pain.

0:57:540:57:56

I would amplify it a hundredfold and bear it for you every day of what remains of my life.

0:57:570:58:02

But...I cannot do what you ask.

0:58:020:58:06

You listen to me. You stay with me.

0:58:140:58:17

You stay alive. Stay alive.

0:58:170:58:18

You live.

0:58:180:58:20

You stay with me.

0:58:200:58:22

Please.

0:58:220:58:23

I will do anything.
