0:00:02 > 0:00:03BELLS CHIME DISTANTLY
0:00:03 > 0:00:09This programme contains some violent scenes
0:00:09 > 0:00:14and some scenes which some viewers may find upsetting.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20- Daniel.- Theodore. You must be tired.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23- I have rooms prepared... - No rest, Daniel.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26The journey from New York is more comfortable now.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29- I have made certain of it.- Oh.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34Oh, er, my associate, Mr Goodnight.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36- Mr Goodnight.- Sir.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Shall we?
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Oh! Keys, Charlie.
0:00:50 > 0:00:55Do you feel that you require protection in our city, Theodore?
0:00:56 > 0:00:58I require it in life.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Lead on, Daniel.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Boys.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20The next matter to which we attend.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26We find her, there he will be also.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- Shelby.- Sir.- Mary.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41Captain Jackson.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- Afternoon.- Afternoon, sir.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- Comfortable?- And what if I am?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56He's stiff in mortis. Which means?
0:02:57 > 0:03:01- Hobbs?- No less than 12 hours since he breathed his last,
0:03:01 > 0:03:04but no more than three days, sir.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Stevedore, pissed on porter, falls in, drowns.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12No, his jacket's too decent for that. Shirt and trousers, though.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13There's this.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Burns.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Bad. But too precise to be fire or water.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- From a steampipe, perhaps? - Could he be some type of engineer?
0:03:21 > 0:03:23His good coat on over his work clothes?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25The lad improves.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26He is drowned, however.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Well, you do have that right, Sergeant.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33Drowned, drunk and murdered. Algae in his lungs, gin in his belly.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- And you have this. Hobbs, give me a hand.- Sorry.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43His spinal cord is cut.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47One stroke of a thin blade.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48He was paralysed?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Mm-hmm. Then put in the water.
0:03:51 > 0:03:56He would have kicked for sure but found himself capable of nothing more than sinking.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- Cruel.- Professional also.- Hm.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02It was the West India Docks he was found?
0:04:02 > 0:04:03Yes, sir.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Then did he come in on the tide from the foundry at Bow Creek?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Constable, get on the wires to the caretaker there.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- See if an engineer's reported missing.- Sir.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Gentlemen. Identify yourselves.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Police. H Division. Return the favour.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37I'm Bruton. Fields, my secretary.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Neither of you the proprietor?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41I pay both Fanthorpe's rent and wage.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43In what capacity is he paid?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- As chief engineer to my shipping line.- Which is?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49The Argentine Marine Company.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Your engineer, er, Fanthorpe. He was a big man.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Around 15 stones, two yards in height?
0:04:55 > 0:04:56You have him?
0:04:56 > 0:05:00- Cut and quartered in our dead room, I'm afraid.- He's dead?!
0:05:00 > 0:05:03He was found caught in a sluice over West India Docks.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05What? Drowned?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07What was it Mr Fanthorpe made for you?
0:05:08 > 0:05:10The means by which we might save our souls.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16You and your wife are bound for the Americas.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Which line do you trust to carry you there?
0:05:20 > 0:05:24For comfort, White Star. Swift Intercontinental for speed.
0:05:24 > 0:05:2620 years ago, it would not have been so.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30You'd have booked passage on an Argentine steamer and not thought twice about it.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Samuel Fanthorpe was to return us to those glories.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35I'm bound to ask how.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Am I to simply hand you and your man my most prized confidence?
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Mr Bruton, it was not simple misadventure that put Mr Fanthorpe in the Thames.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- It was murder.- Murder?!
0:05:49 > 0:05:56It is an engine. Triple expansion. To drive a triple screw propeller.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58That type of power inside us and the journey time to New York,
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Buenos Aries, Cape Town would have been reduced by days
0:06:01 > 0:06:05and our competitors nothing more than a sail on the horizon.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Mrs Fanthorpe!
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- Martha.- What?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Would you allow us a moment, Mr Bruton?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Martha, would you have me...? - No, Ezekiel Bruton, I would not.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36What was it brought you to his place of work today?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38His absence from his place of living.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40And when did you see him last?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Three days ago.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44That is some time for a husband not to see his wife.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Not this husband. Nor this wife.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Excuse me, ma'am? - You're married, Mr Reid?
0:06:49 > 0:06:53- I am.- And your marriage is a picture of permanent joy?
0:06:53 > 0:06:55No, I, er...
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Mr Bruton there, he told me a little of the engine
0:07:03 > 0:07:05your husband was designing for him
0:07:05 > 0:07:09and its significance to AMC's future. He had finished the design?
0:07:09 > 0:07:13He had not. It neared completion, however.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19This engine, it was our last hope.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24But our lines to South America,
0:07:24 > 0:07:28the steel that sails them, they are not without some value.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31And now I must present them to our predators.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34And one such has made itself known to your shareholders?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36- There is an offer, yes.- And you are dutybound to hear their vote
0:07:36 > 0:07:40- on whether to accept or no. - Hear and obey. We sit in two days.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Then you understand why I must ask who makes this offer as this
0:07:43 > 0:07:45may be a motive for murder?
0:07:46 > 0:07:50The name of his company tripped easily from your tongue.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Swift Intercontinental.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Theodore Swift himself with his Pinkerton entourage
0:07:58 > 0:08:00arrived from New York to see the deal closed.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Your work travels, Mr Best.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Picked that up in New York.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14You are American.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16- You know others similar? - What, in London this year?
0:08:18 > 0:08:22As many as there are pigeons shitting in Grosvenor Square.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Ha!
0:08:24 > 0:08:30There's a, er, there's a man goes about with her.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32First I've seen of him.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36And she, Miss, er, Hart. You call her a businesswoman?
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- Turn of phrase.- Meaning?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41What it commonly does. She runs whores.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Oh!
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- From an address?- Indeed.- Which?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52I know not.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Oh.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00I want to thank you for your time, Mr Best.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02You're very welcome.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07BEST CRIES OUT
0:09:07 > 0:09:09You lie.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11She was shook down.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16The police tolerate such business but when it rose into plain view,
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- she was moved on.- To where?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20I know...I know not.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25Which is your constant refrain, Mr Best. A reporter so ignorant.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Back home, you'd be sweeping pencil shavings for pigfeed.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33No, no. No, please.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36MUFFLED SCREAMING
0:09:40 > 0:09:43MUFFLED PANTING
0:09:43 > 0:09:46I find you lie to me, I'm coming for your face.
0:09:57 > 0:10:03So, gentlemen. Mr Bruton, Mr Fields, Mrs Fanthorpe.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Please, don't any of you leave London.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10It is not I that will be leaving London, Reid.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12It is my business.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Shall we?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Constable.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33There is something of a chill about Mrs Fanthorpe which strikes strange.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Get yourself into civvies and keep a watch over her.
0:10:36 > 0:10:41Find out if away from our eyes she chooses to mourn any heavier.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- Yes, sir. Th-th-thank you, sir.- Hm.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Artherton, we have the week's papers?
0:10:50 > 0:10:51We do, sir.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01Ah. Here.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04"Swift Intercontinental's Mr TP Swift and his banker,
0:11:04 > 0:11:07"Mr Daniel Goldman, both of whom declined to deny or confirm
0:11:07 > 0:11:10"that the shipping magnate's visit from New York
0:11:10 > 0:11:13"had any bearing on the emergency stockholder meeting
0:11:13 > 0:11:17"called by the ailing transatlantic Argentine Marine."
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Oh, Jackson, New York ship owner, name of Swift.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23That mean anything to you?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Your reason for asking?
0:11:36 > 0:11:40My apologies, Reid. I must disappoint for once.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48KNOCKING
0:11:53 > 0:11:54Excuse me, gentlemen.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00Have you found her?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- It was never going to be easy.- Easy?
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Frank, I don't pay you because you know how to get easy things done.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11No, Mr Swift.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17Susan!
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Let's see if you can guess who's visiting on business?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Good evening to you, Captain Jackson.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27Best.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32What the hell's going on here?
0:12:32 > 0:12:36One of your countrymen had cause to separate my ear from me.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39A Pinkerton named Goodnight.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44You do what you can to fix my head.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49And I shall tell you all we spoke of, he and I.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58After all, what is a Pinkerton
0:12:58 > 0:13:02but a hired lawman who lives on another continent entirely?
0:13:02 > 0:13:03He holds no sway here.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07So why should I hand you to him?
0:13:10 > 0:13:16You, Captain Jackson, whose value to me is almost beyond compare.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18I fail to see how, Mr Best.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Well, it pertains to our mutual friend, Mr Reid,
0:13:21 > 0:13:24and the steadfast alliance he makes with you.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29A kinship so close that his reputation cannot help but be advanced by it.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Well, advanced, or blackened,
0:13:34 > 0:13:39depending on the truth of your own life, Captain.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Your story is all I ask,
0:13:41 > 0:13:43how the two of you are bound to this American,
0:13:43 > 0:13:47something that, now I have suffered for affording you my protection,
0:13:47 > 0:13:48I would have you share with me.
0:13:52 > 0:13:57So, now I give you both the opportunity to unburden yourselves,
0:13:57 > 0:14:01will you do so?
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Or must I reconsider my approach to Mr Goodnight?
0:14:05 > 0:14:08We would like nothing more than to help you, Mr Best.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12But sadly I have not one inkling as to what you refer.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14If you want to go reacquaint yourself with this Pinkerton
0:14:14 > 0:14:17and his knife, I'm afraid we cannot stop you.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21As you prefer.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25Madam.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Those sons of bitches. They cannot do this.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36I will not allow it.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Fine. Why don't you just march on down there and tell them all to go to hell?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- Oh, you quip, but I'm in earnest... - Sit down, will you?
0:14:45 > 0:14:46You let me do the marching.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50This man once called me a friend.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53And then amongst others you killed his brother.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Well, he was never one to hold a grudge. I'll ask him what he wants.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01And what if the answer is to kill you?
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Then at least we'll know.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13Mr Fields, a face like that will solve precisely nothing.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17I apologise, Mr Bruton.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21However, I fear for us, our survival.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24My life savings are bound up in our company's stock.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27And now, without Samuel's engine, I shall lose everything.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31I'm going to tell you a thing, a secret thing.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Only two men have ever shared its knowledge,
0:15:34 > 0:15:35and one of these now lies dead.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40It pertains to Martha, Mrs Fanthorpe...
0:16:04 > 0:16:05Gentlemen.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Men sank a cable in the sea, here to Nova Scotia.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28News arrives from America in instants.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32And what do they say, these Americans?
0:16:32 > 0:16:34These are coded stock transactions.
0:16:34 > 0:16:40Those from the floor of the Chicago Stock Exchange. You are Reid?
0:16:40 > 0:16:42I am, sir. This is Drake, my sergeant.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45And your business here? Urgent, I understand?
0:16:45 > 0:16:47With Mr Swift.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48You know my name?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50I do.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Mr Swift is my guest in our city, Inspector.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Would you have me leave him to you?
0:16:57 > 0:16:58That is his choice.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01I have nothing to hide. Name your query.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06- Accusations made against you. - Of what?- Conspiracy to murder.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- This is an outrage!- Nonetheless, it is true. A man is killed.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13An engineer, name of Fanthorpe, contracted to Argentine Marine.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16And no doubt it is young Mr Bruton lodges the claim.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19You have men travelling with you, I understand.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- I have.- I would be grateful if you would confirm your whereabouts
0:17:23 > 0:17:26day and night across the 21st and 22nd of this month.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Yours and your men. You can do that?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- Gladly.- If you'll follow us, gentlemen.
0:17:41 > 0:17:47My er, associate, Mr Goodnight of the Pinkerton Agency.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Frank, show these lawmen our transit papers, will you?
0:18:20 > 0:18:21As you can see, Mr Reid,
0:18:21 > 0:18:26we put in to Liverpool late on the day you speak of.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29The night, we were aboard the train south.
0:18:32 > 0:18:37Well, a relief to have that squared away.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Hmm, Inspector?
0:18:41 > 0:18:45And for our part, I'm sure we all understand that you,
0:18:45 > 0:18:46you must perform your duties.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51My, er, my apologies, Mr Swift.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53Don't mention it.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Hey, Reid.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03You're the Jake brought that slumlord to ground
0:19:03 > 0:19:07a few months back, right? Read about you in the news.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11Way the hacker had it in the story, it was a woman brought him to you.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Never stated such, but the sense was she kept a cathouse.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18And so?
0:19:18 > 0:19:23It, er, trouble you to tell me which and where?
0:19:23 > 0:19:28No. No trouble at all, if I had the knowledge. We moved her on.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- Any notion of where she might have relocated?- Um...
0:19:34 > 0:19:38None. You heard tell of Miss Hart's whereabouts, Sergeant?
0:19:38 > 0:19:40- No, sir.- You see, Mr Goodnight?
0:19:40 > 0:19:44We'd gladly be of service to you but we currently lack the means.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46Good day to you, sir.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51And so?
0:19:51 > 0:19:55These Limeys, they lie, they don't lie. Who's to know?
0:19:55 > 0:19:57They're like altar boys.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59British police?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Not the first likeness which strikes round my way.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03I've wiped worse shit off my shoe.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Well, you leave them be right now.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09This other matter, there are developments.
0:20:09 > 0:20:10A change in the game.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Have Charlie and the boys keep on the search for her
0:20:14 > 0:20:19while you collect a package for me.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Your American newspapers, sir.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Is there something wrong, Mallinson?
0:20:36 > 0:20:37Off you go, then.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Let us see if we can find you, my Pinkerton friends.
0:20:48 > 0:20:49Afternoon, Frank.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58I'd wish you the same if I knew what they were calling you these days.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12How you stand this place, I do not know.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16Oh, you grow accustomed while the charms reveal themselves.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19As I recall, it was only the one charm brought you here.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24Nah, she moved on. Decided I wasn't to her liking after all.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27You're awful breezy about a woman that cost you so much.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28Others too.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33What passed that day, I never meant it to go like that.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35I was sorry for them.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37I still mourn for William.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43- Would it make any bones to say they drew on me first?- None.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48And when the time comes, you'd best do the same to me.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50It wouldn't change the upshot now, would it?
0:21:53 > 0:21:55I'm not as quick as you, Frank.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Which is why you find me here.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04I came to see exactly what it is brings you by.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08If there's a version of the future
0:22:08 > 0:22:11that includes you and yours heading home happy,
0:22:11 > 0:22:13well, that is me resting easy right here.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- We were friends once.- Wouldn't mean anything we were still.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28Was she worth it?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32I told you. She moved on.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34You forget I was by your side the day you first saw her.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- You expect me to believe you'd lose such a prize?- I do.- Well, I don't.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Why is it no man in this world will ever trust me?
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Maybe they see you for what you really are.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46And what is that, Frank?
0:22:48 > 0:22:53A low, false, murdering, sonofabitch cocksucker.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Well, I didn't come by here to be insulted.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03So, if you don't mind...
0:23:05 > 0:23:06..I'll be heading on now.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12What? Here?
0:23:13 > 0:23:16From what I recall, your master might baulk at such a rumpus
0:23:16 > 0:23:18so near his seat of operations.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20I know he would have while I was on his ticket.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29Don't think I won't find you. You and that stuck-up boxy!
0:23:29 > 0:23:32I have my way, you both will die in this stinking shitpit!
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Goodnight, Goodnight...
0:23:57 > 0:23:59"William Goodnight and his men
0:23:59 > 0:24:03"killed in battle by the Pinkerton traitor, Matthew Judge,
0:24:03 > 0:24:07"following his abduction for ransom of the daughter of Theodore Swift.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12"His pursuers thus over-powered, Judge vanished into the Hoboken dockside."
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Matthew Judge?
0:24:17 > 0:24:22Every ruination my life has ever known, your mark upon it!
0:24:24 > 0:24:27All of you! Back to your rooms.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28We're resting today.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Anyhow, this is really all down to you getting your grill in the news.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Oh, no, it is not! This is down to you getting above your station
0:24:37 > 0:24:39- and making eyes at me. - If we play by those rules,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42it's down to you getting born in the first place.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46Besides, it weren't long before you were making them right back.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Anybody. Any man other than you would have caused me less trouble.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Any other woman and I'd still be sat in The Roost playing cards
0:24:58 > 0:25:00with the Goodnight brothers.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03But you don't see me bitching about it.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10You know, I know a thing or two about the finding of pleasure in this world.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15But I've got to tell you, your endless ball-breaking aside,
0:25:15 > 0:25:16those few months...
0:25:19 > 0:25:21..they hit the heights for me.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24You find me another man still happy to say that to his wife
0:25:24 > 0:25:28three years after the fact. You're going to listen to me.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36I'm going to leave you now.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39I'm going to run some errands, collect a belonging of mine,
0:25:39 > 0:25:44and then I'm going to come back to you. And then I'm going to do what I've done countless times before.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46I'm going to leave this town for another.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49If you wish to remain unmolested...
0:25:49 > 0:25:51come with me.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35I'd feel more comfortable if you kept this on you.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37You never know when you might need it.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45No word of Jackson, sir, nothing.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Neville over The Bear says he's not seen him all day.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Then strange days are upon us indeed.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53What is it, Mr Reid?
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Yesterday, before I sent Hobbs out after Mrs Fanthorpe,
0:26:57 > 0:27:01I had him dispatch wires. Mr Fanthorpe's bankers,
0:27:01 > 0:27:03his past employers, the station where he was raised, here,
0:27:03 > 0:27:05the institute where he trained.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09All and anything that might tell me the details of his life and now this.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Bradford Technical College, with the one fact to report,
0:27:13 > 0:27:17that the man graduated LAST in a class of 15.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20This is the genius set to transform Mr Bruton's fortunes, is it?
0:27:20 > 0:27:23We are asked to believe so, yes.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- Mr Reid, sir, your wife begs a moment.- My wife?
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Unless she has a twin, sir.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- Emily?- Edmund, I need your help. Will you come to the shelter?
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- Miss Goren. Good evening.- Inspector.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Deborah found them at the foot of Trinity Row.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02- Who is it did this to you? - Who do you think? A man!
0:28:02 > 0:28:04He is a policeman.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Still a man.
0:28:06 > 0:28:07And also my husband.
0:28:14 > 0:28:20Four of them. Clipped whiskers and long coats. Americans.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24They had pictures and searched for Long Susan.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Oi!
0:28:31 > 0:28:32WOMEN SCREAM
0:28:38 > 0:28:40'MAN: Your mistress?!
0:28:40 > 0:28:42- 'GIRL:- She's not here, sir. She's not here, sir!
0:28:42 > 0:28:44- 'Tell me!- She's not here!
0:28:47 > 0:28:48'Get up!'
0:29:50 > 0:29:51Easy...
0:29:55 > 0:29:56You.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Stop.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Who is it tells me?
0:30:05 > 0:30:07P-police.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Now you stand your ground.
0:30:15 > 0:30:16No.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Altar boy. I come for you.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57I didn't know where else to go.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Artherton, why am I roused from my home?
0:32:28 > 0:32:31Longshoreman pulled him out of Shadwell Basin.
0:32:34 > 0:32:35Where's Jackson?
0:32:37 > 0:32:40- Men were sent to Tenter Street for him, sir.- No sign?
0:32:40 > 0:32:42None. The cathouse was empty. Ransacked.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Not the boy.
0:32:56 > 0:32:57How, Mr Reid?
0:33:00 > 0:33:01I, er...
0:33:09 > 0:33:12He cannot have been dead longer than ten hours and yet there is mortis.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22There is something in his hand.
0:33:42 > 0:33:49Oh, Hobbs, get men to the Fanthorpe warehouse and find Mrs Fanthorpe.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51The boy was sent to follow her.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54- Inside and out, all along that stretch. Miss nothing.- Yes, sir.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Help me, Bennet.
0:34:23 > 0:34:24Wait. There.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27His spinal cord was cut.
0:34:27 > 0:34:28Fanthorpe had the same.
0:34:35 > 0:34:36All dispatched, sir.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42The boy was crippled, then put into the water to drown.
0:34:46 > 0:34:47Sweet Jesus.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54Mr Reid. When you find the persons who've done this...
0:34:57 > 0:34:59..we may kill them, may we not, sir?
0:35:10 > 0:35:12- PISTOL COCKS - Long day?
0:35:15 > 0:35:17The longest.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21A day in which your services would have been most valued.
0:35:21 > 0:35:22I can't always be by your side, Reid.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25And now will be so no longer, I imagine.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Now that Miss Hart's pursuers are upon her.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32You still keep that ring, locked in your desk?
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Then I'll have it from you.
0:35:42 > 0:35:49What little I know of you, I know this. You would not fire on me.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51You wouldn't be the first lawman I kill.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54Nonetheless, you will not kill me.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59No sign of Mrs Fanthorpe, sir.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01But there was this rag soaked in chloroform.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04And this man? Would you risk him?
0:36:06 > 0:36:10It's my ring and I will take it from you. Right now.
0:36:18 > 0:36:24You are he then, the Matthew Judge engraved on the inner.
0:36:24 > 0:36:25Drake.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Oblige me, will you?
0:36:39 > 0:36:40It was given to me by my father.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Despite all the circumstances, it does feel good to wear it again.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50You should know, whoever put the knife in the engineer's back,
0:36:50 > 0:36:52they did the same to Dick Hobbs this day.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55I'm sorry to hear that.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59Another fact, he's in mortis no longer than ten hours since his murdering.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03Before you run, you have any thoughts as to how this can be so?
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Drownings, on occasion, if the water's very cold
0:37:08 > 0:37:12and the shock of it, er, immediate, the body can convulse
0:37:12 > 0:37:15and lock itself immediately in a cadaveric spasm.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17The effects developing into mortis.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24- That a service to you?- Yes, it is. - Well, I'm glad of that at least.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Stop him! Stop that man!
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Drake! Wait, wait! Let him go!
0:37:29 > 0:37:30Let him go.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34- That man?!- Back to work! Back to work! Here...
0:37:38 > 0:37:42Now, there are others more deserving of your rage, Sergeant.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45The same men pursue Miss Hart as finished Fanthorpe,
0:37:45 > 0:37:48murdered Hobbs and abducted Martha Fanthorpe.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Now, this spasm just spoke of,
0:37:50 > 0:37:54it resembles rigor mortis but presents itself earlier.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56In which event, this man Goodnight
0:37:56 > 0:37:59and his master can no longer claim themselves absent from London.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01What are they to gain from taking this woman?
0:38:01 > 0:38:05- They wanted the engineer dead, he is dead.- They don't have all the facts.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08Bruton has a secret. He's been guarding it for years.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11It wasn't Samuel Fanthorpe he built his hopes upon.
0:38:11 > 0:38:16It is his wife, Martha. She might secure Swift's defeat.
0:38:16 > 0:38:17Then why keep her alive?
0:38:17 > 0:38:22If I am right, a woman like this, with strength to hide herself
0:38:22 > 0:38:28yet to perform such genius, she may be too valuable to extinguish.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31If we find Martha Fanthorpe, we shall have our answers.
0:38:47 > 0:38:48Susan!
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Susan?!
0:38:59 > 0:39:00Susan!
0:39:09 > 0:39:13- SUSAN:- 'Matthew, despite what I have said, your arrival in my life,
0:39:13 > 0:39:17'it is still the greatest happiness I have known.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19'I go to give them something of what they want from us
0:39:19 > 0:39:24'in the hope they will let you run. So you do that. You run.'
0:39:50 > 0:39:55I rack myself to think why I should not scatter your brains over this fine furniture.
0:39:58 > 0:39:59Search the place.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05What the hell is this?! What are you doing?!
0:40:05 > 0:40:08- Just a few questions. - Get your hands off me!
0:40:08 > 0:40:10You take a trip to Bow Creek of late, Mr Goodnight?
0:40:10 > 0:40:13What happens there, Reid?
0:40:13 > 0:40:18Women are drugged and abducted. A young lad gets killed.
0:40:18 > 0:40:19Oh?
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Where is Martha Fanthorpe?
0:40:25 > 0:40:28I have no idea of who you speak, Inspector.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Mr Reid!
0:40:30 > 0:40:33You have taken leave of yourself, sir.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36- And?- Nothing. She's not here.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40You put that gun down and you explain yourself!
0:40:41 > 0:40:44I'd ask how it is you come to associate with kidnappers
0:40:44 > 0:40:46- and murderers, Mr Goldman.- Slander!
0:40:47 > 0:40:49Your proof, Inspector?
0:40:49 > 0:40:51He has none.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Well, Reid? Justify yourself, man.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10You will burn for this, Inspector!
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Perhaps. But if I am right, Mr Goldman,
0:41:12 > 0:41:16and you have simply sat by to admire the dividend you make from kidnap
0:41:16 > 0:41:18and murder, so will you.
0:41:37 > 0:41:38Thank you, Daniel.
0:41:43 > 0:41:47Theodore. We've worked hard for you here.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49And in six hours' time, we'll provide the funds
0:41:49 > 0:41:54by which Argentine Marine votes itself into your ownership.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58That achieved, you and your men will leave
0:41:58 > 0:42:01and you will not darken these halls again.
0:42:08 > 0:42:09What?
0:42:12 > 0:42:15- Will you kill me? - You think me incapable of it?
0:42:15 > 0:42:18I didn't say that, Caitlin.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24So, what is it brings you here?
0:42:24 > 0:42:27- There's a kindness I'd ask of you.- Kind?
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Isn't a word you ever had much call to use in my direction.
0:42:31 > 0:42:36Let Matthew be. Call Frank Goodnight and his dogs off.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39I invited the man into my home,
0:42:39 > 0:42:44paid his wage to keep watch on you. So he steals you from me,
0:42:44 > 0:42:46ships you here to live as a cathouse madam.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51Now you wish me to forgive that insult,
0:42:51 > 0:42:53I'd know what you offer in return.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58Myself. You may take me home again.
0:42:58 > 0:43:02And if you still consider me marriageable, I shall divorce my husband.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Should I allow him to live.
0:43:04 > 0:43:09And accept your choice for me. Whatever's your pleasure.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12- Theodore, Goldman is...- Frank!
0:43:12 > 0:43:15If you or any of your men harm my daughter,
0:43:15 > 0:43:17you will find yourself outside my protection.
0:43:43 > 0:43:45Barnes!
0:43:48 > 0:43:50Have them bring in last week's maritime trades.
0:43:51 > 0:43:55All sales of Argentine Marine,
0:43:55 > 0:43:58all acquisitions of Swift Intercontinental.
0:44:02 > 0:44:05No, Theodore. It was understood!
0:44:05 > 0:44:07I understand your rage.
0:44:07 > 0:44:11But she is my daughter and I have undertaken to bring you to heel.
0:44:11 > 0:44:12I am not your dog.
0:44:12 > 0:44:16Oh yes, Frank. You are. You let Matthew Judge run.
0:44:16 > 0:44:21Besides, there's more than one way to skin this particular cat...
0:44:23 > 0:44:25..if you have the stomach for it?
0:44:44 > 0:44:46GIRL SCREAMS
0:44:58 > 0:45:02Here. Just yesterday.
0:45:02 > 0:45:06A vast number of Argentine sold at cutdown.
0:45:06 > 0:45:11And then, minutes later, the same trader makes a sizeable acquisition
0:45:11 > 0:45:13in Swift Intercontinental.
0:45:13 > 0:45:16Have you been able to discover on whose behalf the trade was made?
0:45:16 > 0:45:19An employee of the company itself. A man named Fields.
0:45:33 > 0:45:34Mr Reid!
0:45:44 > 0:45:45Peek-a-boo.
0:45:49 > 0:45:51Mr Fields, never make a plan in haste.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54Who could blame you, once Fanthorpe was found dead,
0:45:54 > 0:45:58of wanting to disencumber yourself from falling Argentine stock?
0:45:58 > 0:46:03Did Bruton fail to inform you till after the fact that it was with the lady where the inspiration lay?
0:46:05 > 0:46:11I have worked endlessly, every breathing moment of my adult life for that family. What was I to do?
0:46:11 > 0:46:13Watch my entire livelihood go up in flames
0:46:13 > 0:46:15with no safeguard for my future?
0:46:15 > 0:46:17So you went to Swift and told him what you knew?
0:46:17 > 0:46:21He promised she would not be harmed. Once the sale was completed
0:46:21 > 0:46:23and he left the city, she could be released.
0:46:23 > 0:46:27But a man from my company got in their road and he paid for it, with his life.
0:46:31 > 0:46:33Surely this interrogation can wait,
0:46:33 > 0:46:36Inspector? The shareholders' meeting?
0:46:36 > 0:46:40- They've not started yet, Miss. - Do you have a carriage?- We do.
0:46:40 > 0:46:43Then show me to it. And don't "Miss" me, Sergeant.
0:46:54 > 0:46:57MUTTERING
0:46:57 > 0:47:01This extraordinary shareholders' meeting will come to order.
0:47:14 > 0:47:18As you know, there is but one item upon the agenda.
0:47:19 > 0:47:22Unless Mr Bruton has anything to say?
0:47:25 > 0:47:27I suggest we move directly to a vote.
0:47:29 > 0:47:32All those in favour of forced sale...
0:47:32 > 0:47:33Wait there, if you please, sir.
0:47:35 > 0:47:39Before votes are cast, there are facts you should learn.
0:47:44 > 0:47:46Martha?
0:48:02 > 0:48:03I want to watch you swing, scum!
0:48:06 > 0:48:09- Gentlemen, calm down. - What is this? Explain yourself, sir!
0:48:09 > 0:48:13No, I should allow Mrs Fanthorpe and Mr Bruton to do that.
0:48:13 > 0:48:15Get him out of here.
0:48:15 > 0:48:19Please, gentleman. Take your seats.
0:48:19 > 0:48:22May the lady and I have five minutes of your time?
0:48:22 > 0:48:24But for what purpose, sir?
0:48:24 > 0:48:29To show you, I hope, that all is not lost for our company,
0:48:29 > 0:48:35that we assemble an innovation to our engines that will render ours
0:48:35 > 0:48:39the fastest fleet in all commercial maritime history.
0:48:39 > 0:48:42But our engineer is dead, is he not?
0:48:42 > 0:48:45Mr Fanthorpe may sadly be so, yes.
0:48:45 > 0:48:50But he is not, and has never been, our engineer.
0:48:50 > 0:48:56That privilege, ours too, belongs to Mrs Fanthorpe.
0:48:56 > 0:48:58A woman?!
0:48:58 > 0:49:00I am that, sir, yes.
0:49:00 > 0:49:05You have lost all reason. No, Mr Bruton, a thousand times no!
0:49:05 > 0:49:07Martha, please sit!
0:49:07 > 0:49:11A female engineer? Never! No, sir...
0:49:11 > 0:49:13- Gentlemen, please... - No, sir, I shan't accept...
0:49:13 > 0:49:17It will only take a moment to listen to Mrs Fanthorpe's proposals.
0:49:17 > 0:49:18Gentlemen!
0:49:36 > 0:49:39Inspector! I'm glad to have found you.
0:49:39 > 0:49:42Wanted you to be the first to comment on your employing
0:49:42 > 0:49:45of Matthew Judge, a wanted murderer and the abductor
0:49:45 > 0:49:48of the daughter of Mr Theodore Swift.
0:49:49 > 0:49:52Mr Best, I'm afraid the story has moved on a yard or two now.
0:50:10 > 0:50:13Nobody move or I snap his goddamn neck!
0:50:13 > 0:50:15Everybody stay where they are!
0:50:17 > 0:50:19TWO GUNSHOTS
0:50:24 > 0:50:25Next one's in your head, Frank.
0:50:27 > 0:50:28Let him go.
0:50:31 > 0:50:32I let him go, they kill me.
0:50:32 > 0:50:34I will if you don't.
0:50:34 > 0:50:37If you do, they're going to give you what you want most in this world...
0:50:42 > 0:50:43..your chance at me.
0:50:45 > 0:50:49One shell a man, one shot apiece.
0:50:52 > 0:50:53Toss 'em!
0:50:59 > 0:51:00You still got that piece I gave you?
0:51:08 > 0:51:09Take out all the brass bar one.
0:51:15 > 0:51:17Give it to him.
0:51:17 > 0:51:18Do it.
0:51:40 > 0:51:41You kept in training?
0:51:43 > 0:51:44Not so much.
0:51:46 > 0:51:47Then I fear for you.
0:51:50 > 0:51:55I do work with one advantage, however.
0:51:55 > 0:51:56You want to tell me?
0:52:05 > 0:52:06It's my home field.
0:52:51 > 0:52:53Always were a faker.
0:52:53 > 0:52:55You shouldn't have killed the boy, Frank.
0:53:25 > 0:53:28I never knew a man who could make cheating so heroic.
0:53:35 > 0:53:37Care to take a turn with me, Miss Hart?
0:53:39 > 0:53:40I will.
0:53:52 > 0:53:53I know no man named Judge.
0:53:55 > 0:53:57I do know a man named Homer Jackson,
0:53:57 > 0:54:00however, a police surgeon in this quarter
0:54:00 > 0:54:03who just took down a cold-blooded, murdering Pinkerton out of New York.
0:54:03 > 0:54:05That story enough for you, Best?
0:54:07 > 0:54:09For now, Inspector.
0:54:14 > 0:54:16He was a mad dog, that one.
0:54:16 > 0:54:19His actions, no man could control them.
0:54:19 > 0:54:24Your bodyguard, a lone killer acting on his own whim?
0:54:24 > 0:54:27You think that's enough to spare you, do you?
0:54:27 > 0:54:29I KNOW it will be.
0:54:30 > 0:54:35Think of all the great men who have made their fortunes through me, Mr Reid.
0:54:35 > 0:54:37All that I know of them.
0:54:37 > 0:54:41All that I will tell from behind your bars.
0:55:23 > 0:55:26You will not regret this, Mrs Fanthorpe.
0:55:26 > 0:55:29You have promised me the full expression of my talents
0:55:29 > 0:55:32and vision and that is all I've ever wanted from this life.
0:55:32 > 0:55:35Then you travel in the correct direction.
0:55:36 > 0:55:40America will prove much more accommodating.
0:55:40 > 0:55:42Not so stuck in its ways as this place.
0:55:44 > 0:55:48A woman like you, you will do very well indeed.
0:56:20 > 0:56:23So is this the lot for a bobby's wife, then?
0:56:23 > 0:56:26Never knowing when you're likely to come home?
0:56:26 > 0:56:29Yeah, it can be.
0:56:29 > 0:56:35And as you've said not long past, it is not much of a life.
0:56:37 > 0:56:41You, er, you come to me out of fear, Rose.
0:56:42 > 0:56:46Not natural affection.
0:56:48 > 0:56:50I know I'm not much.
0:56:52 > 0:56:54But I am worth better than that.
0:56:55 > 0:56:57Then what's to become of me?
0:56:57 > 0:57:01Your mistress is returned to her house.
0:57:01 > 0:57:03You could do likewise if you wish.
0:57:03 > 0:57:07And if I do not? If I decide to finish with that life?
0:57:07 > 0:57:12Then you must be brave, Rose, and look for another.
0:57:16 > 0:57:17Now get along with you, girl.
0:57:21 > 0:57:23FLIES BUZZ
0:57:26 > 0:57:28TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS DISTANTLY
0:57:38 > 0:57:40Chief Inspector Abberline?
0:57:40 > 0:57:43This man's rooms, now.
0:57:45 > 0:57:47There!
0:57:47 > 0:57:51Another tart's been ripped. Another snitch sends me to you.
0:58:08 > 0:58:10Take him.
0:58:12 > 0:58:16Do you think that hanging my American will return your sleep to you?
0:58:16 > 0:58:18Are you so desperate, Inspector,
0:58:18 > 0:58:21that you rake through all the suspects we ever knew?
0:58:21 > 0:58:23I believe him returned.
0:58:26 > 0:58:29What use our work if we cannot care for those we love?
