BELLS CHIME DISTANTLY

0:00:020:00:03

This programme contains some violent scenes

0:00:030:00:09

and some scenes which some viewers may find upsetting.

0:00:090:00:14

-Daniel.

-Theodore. You must be tired.

0:00:170:00:20

-I have rooms prepared...

-No rest, Daniel.

0:00:200:00:23

The journey from New York is more comfortable now.

0:00:230:00:26

-I have made certain of it.

-Oh.

0:00:260:00:29

Oh, er, my associate, Mr Goodnight.

0:00:300:00:34

-Mr Goodnight.

-Sir.

0:00:340:00:36

Shall we?

0:00:390:00:41

Oh! Keys, Charlie.

0:00:410:00:44

Do you feel that you require protection in our city, Theodore?

0:00:500:00:55

I require it in life.

0:00:560:00:58

Lead on, Daniel.

0:01:000:01:02

Boys.

0:01:120:01:14

The next matter to which we attend.

0:01:170:01:20

We find her, there he will be also.

0:01:230:01:26

-Shelby.

-Sir.

-Mary.

0:01:380:01:40

Captain Jackson.

0:01:400:01:41

-Afternoon.

-Afternoon, sir.

0:01:440:01:46

-Comfortable?

-And what if I am?

0:01:550:01:57

He's stiff in mortis. Which means?

0:02:540:02:56

-Hobbs?

-No less than 12 hours since he breathed his last,

0:02:570:03:01

but no more than three days, sir.

0:03:010:03:04

Stevedore, pissed on porter, falls in, drowns.

0:03:050:03:09

No, his jacket's too decent for that. Shirt and trousers, though.

0:03:090:03:12

There's this.

0:03:120:03:13

Burns.

0:03:130:03:15

Bad. But too precise to be fire or water.

0:03:150:03:18

-From a steampipe, perhaps?

-Could he be some type of engineer?

0:03:180:03:21

His good coat on over his work clothes?

0:03:210:03:23

The lad improves.

0:03:230:03:25

He is drowned, however.

0:03:250:03:26

Well, you do have that right, Sergeant.

0:03:260:03:28

Drowned, drunk and murdered. Algae in his lungs, gin in his belly.

0:03:280:03:33

-And you have this. Hobbs, give me a hand.

-Sorry.

0:03:330:03:36

His spinal cord is cut.

0:03:410:03:43

One stroke of a thin blade.

0:03:450:03:47

He was paralysed?

0:03:470:03:48

Mm-hmm. Then put in the water.

0:03:480:03:51

He would have kicked for sure but found himself capable of nothing more than sinking.

0:03:510:03:56

-Cruel.

-Professional also.

-Hm.

0:03:560:03:58

It was the West India Docks he was found?

0:04:000:04:02

Yes, sir.

0:04:020:04:03

Then did he come in on the tide from the foundry at Bow Creek?

0:04:030:04:06

Constable, get on the wires to the caretaker there.

0:04:060:04:08

-See if an engineer's reported missing.

-Sir.

0:04:080:04:11

Gentlemen. Identify yourselves.

0:04:300:04:32

Police. H Division. Return the favour.

0:04:320:04:35

I'm Bruton. Fields, my secretary.

0:04:350:04:37

Neither of you the proprietor?

0:04:370:04:39

I pay both Fanthorpe's rent and wage.

0:04:390:04:41

In what capacity is he paid?

0:04:410:04:43

-As chief engineer to my shipping line.

-Which is?

0:04:430:04:46

The Argentine Marine Company.

0:04:460:04:49

Your engineer, er, Fanthorpe. He was a big man.

0:04:490:04:52

Around 15 stones, two yards in height?

0:04:520:04:55

You have him?

0:04:550:04:56

-Cut and quartered in our dead room, I'm afraid.

-He's dead?!

0:04:560:05:00

He was found caught in a sluice over West India Docks.

0:05:000:05:03

What? Drowned?

0:05:030:05:05

What was it Mr Fanthorpe made for you?

0:05:050:05:07

The means by which we might save our souls.

0:05:080:05:10

You and your wife are bound for the Americas.

0:05:130:05:16

Which line do you trust to carry you there?

0:05:160:05:18

For comfort, White Star. Swift Intercontinental for speed.

0:05:200:05:24

20 years ago, it would not have been so.

0:05:240:05:26

You'd have booked passage on an Argentine steamer and not thought twice about it.

0:05:260:05:30

Samuel Fanthorpe was to return us to those glories.

0:05:300:05:33

I'm bound to ask how.

0:05:330:05:35

Am I to simply hand you and your man my most prized confidence?

0:05:350:05:38

Mr Bruton, it was not simple misadventure that put Mr Fanthorpe in the Thames.

0:05:380:05:42

-It was murder.

-Murder?!

0:05:420:05:44

It is an engine. Triple expansion. To drive a triple screw propeller.

0:05:490:05:56

That type of power inside us and the journey time to New York,

0:05:560:05:58

Buenos Aries, Cape Town would have been reduced by days

0:05:580:06:01

and our competitors nothing more than a sail on the horizon.

0:06:010:06:05

Mrs Fanthorpe!

0:06:050:06:06

-Martha.

-What?

0:06:060:06:09

Would you allow us a moment, Mr Bruton?

0:06:160:06:19

-Martha, would you have me...?

-No, Ezekiel Bruton, I would not.

0:06:190:06:22

What was it brought you to his place of work today?

0:06:320:06:36

His absence from his place of living.

0:06:360:06:38

And when did you see him last?

0:06:380:06:40

Three days ago.

0:06:400:06:42

That is some time for a husband not to see his wife.

0:06:420:06:44

Not this husband. Nor this wife.

0:06:440:06:46

-Excuse me, ma'am?

-You're married, Mr Reid?

0:06:460:06:49

-I am.

-And your marriage is a picture of permanent joy?

0:06:490:06:53

No, I, er...

0:06:530:06:55

Mr Bruton there, he told me a little of the engine

0:06:590:07:03

your husband was designing for him

0:07:030:07:05

and its significance to AMC's future. He had finished the design?

0:07:050:07:09

He had not. It neared completion, however.

0:07:090:07:13

This engine, it was our last hope.

0:07:150:07:19

But our lines to South America,

0:07:210:07:24

the steel that sails them, they are not without some value.

0:07:240:07:28

And now I must present them to our predators.

0:07:280:07:31

And one such has made itself known to your shareholders?

0:07:310:07:34

-There is an offer, yes.

-And you are dutybound to hear their vote

0:07:340:07:36

-on whether to accept or no.

-Hear and obey. We sit in two days.

0:07:360:07:40

Then you understand why I must ask who makes this offer as this

0:07:400:07:43

may be a motive for murder?

0:07:430:07:45

The name of his company tripped easily from your tongue.

0:07:460:07:50

Swift Intercontinental.

0:07:510:07:53

Theodore Swift himself with his Pinkerton entourage

0:07:550:07:58

arrived from New York to see the deal closed.

0:07:580:08:00

Your work travels, Mr Best.

0:08:000:08:02

Picked that up in New York.

0:08:050:08:07

You are American.

0:08:130:08:14

-You know others similar?

-What, in London this year?

0:08:140:08:16

As many as there are pigeons shitting in Grosvenor Square.

0:08:180:08:22

Ha!

0:08:220:08:24

There's a, er, there's a man goes about with her.

0:08:240:08:30

First I've seen of him.

0:08:300:08:32

And she, Miss, er, Hart. You call her a businesswoman?

0:08:320:08:36

-Turn of phrase.

-Meaning?

0:08:360:08:38

What it commonly does. She runs whores.

0:08:380:08:41

Oh!

0:08:410:08:42

-From an address?

-Indeed.

-Which?

0:08:450:08:48

I know not.

0:08:500:08:52

Oh.

0:08:520:08:53

I want to thank you for your time, Mr Best.

0:08:560:09:00

You're very welcome.

0:09:000:09:02

BEST CRIES OUT

0:09:050:09:07

You lie.

0:09:070:09:09

She was shook down.

0:09:090:09:11

The police tolerate such business but when it rose into plain view,

0:09:120:09:16

-she was moved on.

-To where?

0:09:160:09:18

I know...I know not.

0:09:180:09:20

Which is your constant refrain, Mr Best. A reporter so ignorant.

0:09:200:09:25

Back home, you'd be sweeping pencil shavings for pigfeed.

0:09:250:09:28

No, no. No, please.

0:09:300:09:33

MUFFLED SCREAMING

0:09:330:09:36

MUFFLED PANTING

0:09:400:09:43

I find you lie to me, I'm coming for your face.

0:09:430:09:46

So, gentlemen. Mr Bruton, Mr Fields, Mrs Fanthorpe.

0:09:570:10:03

Please, don't any of you leave London.

0:10:050:10:07

It is not I that will be leaving London, Reid.

0:10:070:10:10

It is my business.

0:10:100:10:12

Shall we?

0:10:120:10:14

Constable.

0:10:270:10:29

There is something of a chill about Mrs Fanthorpe which strikes strange.

0:10:290:10:33

Get yourself into civvies and keep a watch over her.

0:10:330:10:36

Find out if away from our eyes she chooses to mourn any heavier.

0:10:360:10:41

-Yes, sir. Th-th-thank you, sir.

-Hm.

0:10:410:10:45

Artherton, we have the week's papers?

0:10:480:10:50

We do, sir.

0:10:500:10:51

Ah. Here.

0:10:570:11:01

"Swift Intercontinental's Mr TP Swift and his banker,

0:11:010:11:04

"Mr Daniel Goldman, both of whom declined to deny or confirm

0:11:040:11:07

"that the shipping magnate's visit from New York

0:11:070:11:10

"had any bearing on the emergency stockholder meeting

0:11:100:11:13

"called by the ailing transatlantic Argentine Marine."

0:11:130:11:17

Oh, Jackson, New York ship owner, name of Swift.

0:11:180:11:21

That mean anything to you?

0:11:210:11:23

Your reason for asking?

0:11:270:11:29

My apologies, Reid. I must disappoint for once.

0:11:360:11:40

KNOCKING

0:11:460:11:48

Excuse me, gentlemen.

0:11:530:11:54

Have you found her?

0:11:590:12:00

-It was never going to be easy.

-Easy?

0:12:020:12:05

Frank, I don't pay you because you know how to get easy things done.

0:12:050:12:08

No, Mr Swift.

0:12:080:12:11

Susan!

0:12:160:12:17

Let's see if you can guess who's visiting on business?

0:12:190:12:23

Good evening to you, Captain Jackson.

0:12:230:12:26

Best.

0:12:260:12:27

What the hell's going on here?

0:12:300:12:32

One of your countrymen had cause to separate my ear from me.

0:12:320:12:36

A Pinkerton named Goodnight.

0:12:360:12:39

You do what you can to fix my head.

0:12:420:12:44

And I shall tell you all we spoke of, he and I.

0:12:460:12:49

After all, what is a Pinkerton

0:12:540:12:58

but a hired lawman who lives on another continent entirely?

0:12:580:13:02

He holds no sway here.

0:13:020:13:03

So why should I hand you to him?

0:13:050:13:07

You, Captain Jackson, whose value to me is almost beyond compare.

0:13:100:13:16

I fail to see how, Mr Best.

0:13:160:13:18

Well, it pertains to our mutual friend, Mr Reid,

0:13:180:13:21

and the steadfast alliance he makes with you.

0:13:210:13:24

A kinship so close that his reputation cannot help but be advanced by it.

0:13:250:13:29

Well, advanced, or blackened,

0:13:320:13:34

depending on the truth of your own life, Captain.

0:13:340:13:39

Your story is all I ask,

0:13:390:13:41

how the two of you are bound to this American,

0:13:410:13:43

something that, now I have suffered for affording you my protection,

0:13:430:13:47

I would have you share with me.

0:13:470:13:48

So, now I give you both the opportunity to unburden yourselves,

0:13:520:13:57

will you do so?

0:13:570:14:01

Or must I reconsider my approach to Mr Goodnight?

0:14:010:14:04

We would like nothing more than to help you, Mr Best.

0:14:050:14:08

But sadly I have not one inkling as to what you refer.

0:14:080:14:12

If you want to go reacquaint yourself with this Pinkerton

0:14:120:14:14

and his knife, I'm afraid we cannot stop you.

0:14:140:14:17

As you prefer.

0:14:200:14:21

Madam.

0:14:240:14:25

Those sons of bitches. They cannot do this.

0:14:310:14:34

I will not allow it.

0:14:340:14:36

Fine. Why don't you just march on down there and tell them all to go to hell?

0:14:360:14:39

-Oh, you quip, but I'm in earnest...

-Sit down, will you?

0:14:390:14:42

You let me do the marching.

0:14:450:14:46

This man once called me a friend.

0:14:480:14:50

And then amongst others you killed his brother.

0:14:500:14:53

Well, he was never one to hold a grudge. I'll ask him what he wants.

0:14:530:14:57

And what if the answer is to kill you?

0:14:590:15:01

Then at least we'll know.

0:15:010:15:03

Mr Fields, a face like that will solve precisely nothing.

0:15:090:15:13

I apologise, Mr Bruton.

0:15:150:15:17

However, I fear for us, our survival.

0:15:170:15:21

My life savings are bound up in our company's stock.

0:15:210:15:24

And now, without Samuel's engine, I shall lose everything.

0:15:240:15:27

I'm going to tell you a thing, a secret thing.

0:15:270:15:31

Only two men have ever shared its knowledge,

0:15:310:15:34

and one of these now lies dead.

0:15:340:15:35

It pertains to Martha, Mrs Fanthorpe...

0:15:370:15:40

Gentlemen.

0:16:040:16:05

Men sank a cable in the sea, here to Nova Scotia.

0:16:220:16:26

News arrives from America in instants.

0:16:260:16:28

And what do they say, these Americans?

0:16:280:16:32

These are coded stock transactions.

0:16:320:16:34

Those from the floor of the Chicago Stock Exchange. You are Reid?

0:16:340:16:40

I am, sir. This is Drake, my sergeant.

0:16:400:16:42

And your business here? Urgent, I understand?

0:16:420:16:45

With Mr Swift.

0:16:450:16:47

You know my name?

0:16:470:16:48

I do.

0:16:480:16:50

Mr Swift is my guest in our city, Inspector.

0:16:500:16:53

Would you have me leave him to you?

0:16:550:16:57

That is his choice.

0:16:570:16:58

I have nothing to hide. Name your query.

0:16:580:17:01

-Accusations made against you.

-Of what?

-Conspiracy to murder.

0:17:010:17:06

-This is an outrage!

-Nonetheless, it is true. A man is killed.

0:17:070:17:10

An engineer, name of Fanthorpe, contracted to Argentine Marine.

0:17:100:17:13

And no doubt it is young Mr Bruton lodges the claim.

0:17:130:17:16

You have men travelling with you, I understand.

0:17:160:17:19

-I have.

-I would be grateful if you would confirm your whereabouts

0:17:190:17:23

day and night across the 21st and 22nd of this month.

0:17:230:17:26

Yours and your men. You can do that?

0:17:260:17:29

-Gladly.

-If you'll follow us, gentlemen.

0:17:290:17:32

My er, associate, Mr Goodnight of the Pinkerton Agency.

0:17:410:17:47

Frank, show these lawmen our transit papers, will you?

0:17:500:17:54

As you can see, Mr Reid,

0:18:200:18:21

we put in to Liverpool late on the day you speak of.

0:18:210:18:26

The night, we were aboard the train south.

0:18:260:18:29

Well, a relief to have that squared away.

0:18:320:18:37

Hmm, Inspector?

0:18:370:18:41

And for our part, I'm sure we all understand that you,

0:18:410:18:45

you must perform your duties.

0:18:450:18:46

My, er, my apologies, Mr Swift.

0:18:490:18:51

Don't mention it.

0:18:520:18:53

Hey, Reid.

0:18:570:18:58

You're the Jake brought that slumlord to ground

0:19:000:19:03

a few months back, right? Read about you in the news.

0:19:030:19:07

Way the hacker had it in the story, it was a woman brought him to you.

0:19:070:19:11

Never stated such, but the sense was she kept a cathouse.

0:19:110:19:15

And so?

0:19:170:19:18

It, er, trouble you to tell me which and where?

0:19:180:19:23

No. No trouble at all, if I had the knowledge. We moved her on.

0:19:230:19:28

-Any notion of where she might have relocated?

-Um...

0:19:280:19:31

None. You heard tell of Miss Hart's whereabouts, Sergeant?

0:19:340:19:38

-No, sir.

-You see, Mr Goodnight?

0:19:380:19:40

We'd gladly be of service to you but we currently lack the means.

0:19:400:19:44

Good day to you, sir.

0:19:450:19:46

And so?

0:19:490:19:51

These Limeys, they lie, they don't lie. Who's to know?

0:19:510:19:55

They're like altar boys.

0:19:550:19:57

British police?

0:19:570:19:59

Not the first likeness which strikes round my way.

0:19:590:20:01

I've wiped worse shit off my shoe.

0:20:010:20:03

Well, you leave them be right now.

0:20:030:20:05

This other matter, there are developments.

0:20:050:20:09

A change in the game.

0:20:090:20:10

Have Charlie and the boys keep on the search for her

0:20:110:20:14

while you collect a package for me.

0:20:140:20:19

Your American newspapers, sir.

0:20:300:20:32

Is there something wrong, Mallinson?

0:20:330:20:36

Off you go, then.

0:20:360:20:37

Let us see if we can find you, my Pinkerton friends.

0:20:400:20:43

Afternoon, Frank.

0:20:480:20:49

I'd wish you the same if I knew what they were calling you these days.

0:20:540:20:58

How you stand this place, I do not know.

0:21:100:21:12

Oh, you grow accustomed while the charms reveal themselves.

0:21:120:21:16

As I recall, it was only the one charm brought you here.

0:21:160:21:19

Nah, she moved on. Decided I wasn't to her liking after all.

0:21:190:21:24

You're awful breezy about a woman that cost you so much.

0:21:240:21:27

Others too.

0:21:270:21:28

What passed that day, I never meant it to go like that.

0:21:290:21:33

I was sorry for them.

0:21:330:21:35

I still mourn for William.

0:21:350:21:37

-Would it make any bones to say they drew on me first?

-None.

0:21:390:21:43

And when the time comes, you'd best do the same to me.

0:21:440:21:48

It wouldn't change the upshot now, would it?

0:21:480:21:50

I'm not as quick as you, Frank.

0:21:530:21:55

Which is why you find me here.

0:21:580:22:00

I came to see exactly what it is brings you by.

0:22:020:22:04

If there's a version of the future

0:22:060:22:08

that includes you and yours heading home happy,

0:22:080:22:11

well, that is me resting easy right here.

0:22:110:22:13

-We were friends once.

-Wouldn't mean anything we were still.

0:22:210:22:24

Was she worth it?

0:22:270:22:28

I told you. She moved on.

0:22:300:22:32

You forget I was by your side the day you first saw her.

0:22:320:22:34

-You expect me to believe you'd lose such a prize?

-I do.

-Well, I don't.

0:22:340:22:38

Why is it no man in this world will ever trust me?

0:22:380:22:41

Maybe they see you for what you really are.

0:22:420:22:45

And what is that, Frank?

0:22:450:22:46

A low, false, murdering, sonofabitch cocksucker.

0:22:480:22:53

Well, I didn't come by here to be insulted.

0:22:570:23:00

So, if you don't mind...

0:23:000:23:03

..I'll be heading on now.

0:23:050:23:06

What? Here?

0:23:100:23:12

From what I recall, your master might baulk at such a rumpus

0:23:130:23:16

so near his seat of operations.

0:23:160:23:18

I know he would have while I was on his ticket.

0:23:180:23:20

Don't think I won't find you. You and that stuck-up boxy!

0:23:240:23:29

I have my way, you both will die in this stinking shitpit!

0:23:290:23:32

Goodnight, Goodnight...

0:23:540:23:56

"William Goodnight and his men

0:23:570:23:59

"killed in battle by the Pinkerton traitor, Matthew Judge,

0:23:590:24:03

"following his abduction for ransom of the daughter of Theodore Swift.

0:24:030:24:07

"His pursuers thus over-powered, Judge vanished into the Hoboken dockside."

0:24:070:24:12

Matthew Judge?

0:24:150:24:17

Every ruination my life has ever known, your mark upon it!

0:24:170:24:22

All of you! Back to your rooms.

0:24:240:24:27

We're resting today.

0:24:270:24:28

Anyhow, this is really all down to you getting your grill in the news.

0:24:300:24:34

Oh, no, it is not! This is down to you getting above your station

0:24:340:24:37

-and making eyes at me.

-If we play by those rules,

0:24:370:24:39

it's down to you getting born in the first place.

0:24:390:24:42

Besides, it weren't long before you were making them right back.

0:24:420:24:46

Anybody. Any man other than you would have caused me less trouble.

0:24:490:24:53

Any other woman and I'd still be sat in The Roost playing cards

0:24:540:24:58

with the Goodnight brothers.

0:24:580:25:00

But you don't see me bitching about it.

0:25:000:25:03

You know, I know a thing or two about the finding of pleasure in this world.

0:25:070:25:10

But I've got to tell you, your endless ball-breaking aside,

0:25:100:25:15

those few months...

0:25:150:25:16

..they hit the heights for me.

0:25:190:25:21

You find me another man still happy to say that to his wife

0:25:210:25:24

three years after the fact. You're going to listen to me.

0:25:240:25:28

I'm going to leave you now.

0:25:330:25:36

I'm going to run some errands, collect a belonging of mine,

0:25:360:25:39

and then I'm going to come back to you. And then I'm going to do what I've done countless times before.

0:25:390:25:44

I'm going to leave this town for another.

0:25:440:25:46

If you wish to remain unmolested...

0:25:460:25:49

come with me.

0:25:490:25:51

I'd feel more comfortable if you kept this on you.

0:26:310:26:35

You never know when you might need it.

0:26:350:26:37

No word of Jackson, sir, nothing.

0:26:420:26:45

Neville over The Bear says he's not seen him all day.

0:26:450:26:48

Then strange days are upon us indeed.

0:26:480:26:51

What is it, Mr Reid?

0:26:510:26:53

Yesterday, before I sent Hobbs out after Mrs Fanthorpe,

0:26:530:26:57

I had him dispatch wires. Mr Fanthorpe's bankers,

0:26:570:27:01

his past employers, the station where he was raised, here,

0:27:010:27:03

the institute where he trained.

0:27:030:27:05

All and anything that might tell me the details of his life and now this.

0:27:050:27:09

Bradford Technical College, with the one fact to report,

0:27:090:27:13

that the man graduated LAST in a class of 15.

0:27:130:27:17

This is the genius set to transform Mr Bruton's fortunes, is it?

0:27:170:27:20

We are asked to believe so, yes.

0:27:200:27:23

-Mr Reid, sir, your wife begs a moment.

-My wife?

0:27:230:27:26

Unless she has a twin, sir.

0:27:260:27:28

-Emily?

-Edmund, I need your help. Will you come to the shelter?

0:27:330:27:37

-Miss Goren. Good evening.

-Inspector.

0:27:520:27:55

Deborah found them at the foot of Trinity Row.

0:27:550:27:58

-Who is it did this to you?

-Who do you think? A man!

0:27:580:28:02

He is a policeman.

0:28:020:28:04

Still a man.

0:28:040:28:06

And also my husband.

0:28:060:28:07

Four of them. Clipped whiskers and long coats. Americans.

0:28:140:28:20

They had pictures and searched for Long Susan.

0:28:200:28:24

Oi!

0:28:290:28:31

WOMEN SCREAM

0:28:310:28:32

'MAN: Your mistress?!

0:28:380:28:40

-'GIRL:

-She's not here, sir. She's not here, sir!

0:28:400:28:42

-'Tell me!

-She's not here!

0:28:420:28:44

'Get up!'

0:28:470:28:48

Easy...

0:29:500:29:51

You.

0:29:550:29:56

Stop.

0:29:580:30:00

Who is it tells me?

0:30:030:30:05

P-police.

0:30:050:30:07

Now you stand your ground.

0:30:100:30:12

No.

0:30:150:30:16

Altar boy. I come for you.

0:30:190:30:22

I didn't know where else to go.

0:31:550:31:57

Artherton, why am I roused from my home?

0:32:190:32:21

Longshoreman pulled him out of Shadwell Basin.

0:32:280:32:31

Where's Jackson?

0:32:340:32:35

-Men were sent to Tenter Street for him, sir.

-No sign?

0:32:370:32:40

None. The cathouse was empty. Ransacked.

0:32:400:32:42

Not the boy.

0:32:500:32:52

How, Mr Reid?

0:32:560:32:57

I, er...

0:33:000:33:01

He cannot have been dead longer than ten hours and yet there is mortis.

0:33:090:33:12

There is something in his hand.

0:33:200:33:22

Oh, Hobbs, get men to the Fanthorpe warehouse and find Mrs Fanthorpe.

0:33:420:33:49

The boy was sent to follow her.

0:33:490:33:51

-Inside and out, all along that stretch. Miss nothing.

-Yes, sir.

0:33:510:33:54

Help me, Bennet.

0:34:110:34:13

Wait. There.

0:34:230:34:24

His spinal cord was cut.

0:34:240:34:27

Fanthorpe had the same.

0:34:270:34:28

All dispatched, sir.

0:34:350:34:36

The boy was crippled, then put into the water to drown.

0:34:380:34:42

Sweet Jesus.

0:34:460:34:47

Mr Reid. When you find the persons who've done this...

0:34:500:34:54

..we may kill them, may we not, sir?

0:34:570:34:59

-PISTOL COCKS

-Long day?

0:35:100:35:12

The longest.

0:35:150:35:17

A day in which your services would have been most valued.

0:35:170:35:21

I can't always be by your side, Reid.

0:35:210:35:22

And now will be so no longer, I imagine.

0:35:220:35:25

Now that Miss Hart's pursuers are upon her.

0:35:250:35:27

You still keep that ring, locked in your desk?

0:35:290:35:32

Then I'll have it from you.

0:35:320:35:34

What little I know of you, I know this. You would not fire on me.

0:35:420:35:49

You wouldn't be the first lawman I kill.

0:35:490:35:51

Nonetheless, you will not kill me.

0:35:510:35:54

No sign of Mrs Fanthorpe, sir.

0:35:560:35:59

But there was this rag soaked in chloroform.

0:35:590:36:01

And this man? Would you risk him?

0:36:010:36:04

It's my ring and I will take it from you. Right now.

0:36:060:36:10

You are he then, the Matthew Judge engraved on the inner.

0:36:180:36:24

Drake.

0:36:240:36:25

Oblige me, will you?

0:36:290:36:31

It was given to me by my father.

0:36:390:36:40

Despite all the circumstances, it does feel good to wear it again.

0:36:440:36:47

You should know, whoever put the knife in the engineer's back,

0:36:470:36:50

they did the same to Dick Hobbs this day.

0:36:500:36:52

I'm sorry to hear that.

0:36:530:36:55

Another fact, he's in mortis no longer than ten hours since his murdering.

0:36:550:36:59

Before you run, you have any thoughts as to how this can be so?

0:36:590:37:03

Drownings, on occasion, if the water's very cold

0:37:060:37:08

and the shock of it, er, immediate, the body can convulse

0:37:080:37:12

and lock itself immediately in a cadaveric spasm.

0:37:120:37:15

The effects developing into mortis.

0:37:150:37:17

-That a service to you?

-Yes, it is.

-Well, I'm glad of that at least.

0:37:200:37:24

Stop him! Stop that man!

0:37:240:37:27

Drake! Wait, wait! Let him go!

0:37:270:37:29

Let him go.

0:37:290:37:30

-That man?!

-Back to work! Back to work! Here...

0:37:300:37:34

Now, there are others more deserving of your rage, Sergeant.

0:37:380:37:42

The same men pursue Miss Hart as finished Fanthorpe,

0:37:420:37:45

murdered Hobbs and abducted Martha Fanthorpe.

0:37:450:37:48

Now, this spasm just spoke of,

0:37:480:37:50

it resembles rigor mortis but presents itself earlier.

0:37:500:37:54

In which event, this man Goodnight

0:37:540:37:56

and his master can no longer claim themselves absent from London.

0:37:560:37:59

What are they to gain from taking this woman?

0:37:590:38:01

-They wanted the engineer dead, he is dead.

-They don't have all the facts.

0:38:010:38:05

Bruton has a secret. He's been guarding it for years.

0:38:050:38:08

It wasn't Samuel Fanthorpe he built his hopes upon.

0:38:080:38:11

It is his wife, Martha. She might secure Swift's defeat.

0:38:110:38:16

Then why keep her alive?

0:38:160:38:17

If I am right, a woman like this, with strength to hide herself

0:38:170:38:22

yet to perform such genius, she may be too valuable to extinguish.

0:38:220:38:28

If we find Martha Fanthorpe, we shall have our answers.

0:38:280:38:31

Susan!

0:38:470:38:48

Susan?!

0:38:530:38:55

Susan!

0:38:590:39:00

-SUSAN:

-'Matthew, despite what I have said, your arrival in my life,

0:39:090:39:13

'it is still the greatest happiness I have known.

0:39:130:39:17

'I go to give them something of what they want from us

0:39:170:39:19

'in the hope they will let you run. So you do that. You run.'

0:39:190:39:24

I rack myself to think why I should not scatter your brains over this fine furniture.

0:39:500:39:55

Search the place.

0:39:580:39:59

What the hell is this?! What are you doing?!

0:40:020:40:05

-Just a few questions.

-Get your hands off me!

0:40:050:40:08

You take a trip to Bow Creek of late, Mr Goodnight?

0:40:080:40:10

What happens there, Reid?

0:40:100:40:13

Women are drugged and abducted. A young lad gets killed.

0:40:130:40:18

Oh?

0:40:180:40:19

Where is Martha Fanthorpe?

0:40:220:40:25

I have no idea of who you speak, Inspector.

0:40:250:40:28

Mr Reid!

0:40:280:40:30

You have taken leave of yourself, sir.

0:40:300:40:33

-And?

-Nothing. She's not here.

0:40:330:40:36

You put that gun down and you explain yourself!

0:40:360:40:40

I'd ask how it is you come to associate with kidnappers

0:40:410:40:44

-and murderers, Mr Goldman.

-Slander!

0:40:440:40:46

Your proof, Inspector?

0:40:470:40:49

He has none.

0:40:490:40:51

Well, Reid? Justify yourself, man.

0:40:520:40:55

You will burn for this, Inspector!

0:41:080:41:10

Perhaps. But if I am right, Mr Goldman,

0:41:100:41:12

and you have simply sat by to admire the dividend you make from kidnap

0:41:120:41:16

and murder, so will you.

0:41:160:41:18

Thank you, Daniel.

0:41:370:41:38

Theodore. We've worked hard for you here.

0:41:430:41:47

And in six hours' time, we'll provide the funds

0:41:470:41:49

by which Argentine Marine votes itself into your ownership.

0:41:490:41:54

That achieved, you and your men will leave

0:41:540:41:58

and you will not darken these halls again.

0:41:580:42:01

What?

0:42:080:42:09

-Will you kill me?

-You think me incapable of it?

0:42:120:42:15

I didn't say that, Caitlin.

0:42:150:42:18

So, what is it brings you here?

0:42:200:42:24

-There's a kindness I'd ask of you.

-Kind?

0:42:240:42:27

Isn't a word you ever had much call to use in my direction.

0:42:280:42:31

Let Matthew be. Call Frank Goodnight and his dogs off.

0:42:310:42:36

I invited the man into my home,

0:42:370:42:39

paid his wage to keep watch on you. So he steals you from me,

0:42:390:42:44

ships you here to live as a cathouse madam.

0:42:440:42:46

Now you wish me to forgive that insult,

0:42:470:42:51

I'd know what you offer in return.

0:42:510:42:53

Myself. You may take me home again.

0:42:550:42:58

And if you still consider me marriageable, I shall divorce my husband.

0:42:580:43:02

Should I allow him to live.

0:43:020:43:04

And accept your choice for me. Whatever's your pleasure.

0:43:040:43:09

-Theodore, Goldman is...

-Frank!

0:43:090:43:12

If you or any of your men harm my daughter,

0:43:120:43:15

you will find yourself outside my protection.

0:43:150:43:17

Barnes!

0:43:430:43:45

Have them bring in last week's maritime trades.

0:43:480:43:50

All sales of Argentine Marine,

0:43:510:43:55

all acquisitions of Swift Intercontinental.

0:43:550:43:58

No, Theodore. It was understood!

0:44:020:44:05

I understand your rage.

0:44:050:44:07

But she is my daughter and I have undertaken to bring you to heel.

0:44:070:44:11

I am not your dog.

0:44:110:44:12

Oh yes, Frank. You are. You let Matthew Judge run.

0:44:120:44:16

Besides, there's more than one way to skin this particular cat...

0:44:160:44:21

..if you have the stomach for it?

0:44:230:44:25

GIRL SCREAMS

0:44:440:44:46

Here. Just yesterday.

0:44:580:45:02

A vast number of Argentine sold at cutdown.

0:45:020:45:06

And then, minutes later, the same trader makes a sizeable acquisition

0:45:060:45:11

in Swift Intercontinental.

0:45:110:45:13

Have you been able to discover on whose behalf the trade was made?

0:45:130:45:16

An employee of the company itself. A man named Fields.

0:45:160:45:19

Mr Reid!

0:45:330:45:34

Peek-a-boo.

0:45:440:45:45

Mr Fields, never make a plan in haste.

0:45:490:45:51

Who could blame you, once Fanthorpe was found dead,

0:45:510:45:54

of wanting to disencumber yourself from falling Argentine stock?

0:45:540:45:58

Did Bruton fail to inform you till after the fact that it was with the lady where the inspiration lay?

0:45:580:46:03

I have worked endlessly, every breathing moment of my adult life for that family. What was I to do?

0:46:050:46:11

Watch my entire livelihood go up in flames

0:46:110:46:13

with no safeguard for my future?

0:46:130:46:15

So you went to Swift and told him what you knew?

0:46:150:46:17

He promised she would not be harmed. Once the sale was completed

0:46:170:46:21

and he left the city, she could be released.

0:46:210:46:23

But a man from my company got in their road and he paid for it, with his life.

0:46:230:46:27

Surely this interrogation can wait,

0:46:310:46:33

Inspector? The shareholders' meeting?

0:46:330:46:36

-They've not started yet, Miss.

-Do you have a carriage?

-We do.

0:46:360:46:40

Then show me to it. And don't "Miss" me, Sergeant.

0:46:400:46:43

MUTTERING

0:46:540:46:57

This extraordinary shareholders' meeting will come to order.

0:46:570:47:01

As you know, there is but one item upon the agenda.

0:47:140:47:18

Unless Mr Bruton has anything to say?

0:47:190:47:22

I suggest we move directly to a vote.

0:47:250:47:27

All those in favour of forced sale...

0:47:290:47:32

Wait there, if you please, sir.

0:47:320:47:33

Before votes are cast, there are facts you should learn.

0:47:350:47:39

Martha?

0:47:440:47:46

I want to watch you swing, scum!

0:48:020:48:03

-Gentlemen, calm down.

-What is this? Explain yourself, sir!

0:48:060:48:09

No, I should allow Mrs Fanthorpe and Mr Bruton to do that.

0:48:090:48:13

Get him out of here.

0:48:130:48:15

Please, gentleman. Take your seats.

0:48:150:48:19

May the lady and I have five minutes of your time?

0:48:190:48:22

But for what purpose, sir?

0:48:220:48:24

To show you, I hope, that all is not lost for our company,

0:48:240:48:29

that we assemble an innovation to our engines that will render ours

0:48:290:48:35

the fastest fleet in all commercial maritime history.

0:48:350:48:39

But our engineer is dead, is he not?

0:48:390:48:42

Mr Fanthorpe may sadly be so, yes.

0:48:420:48:45

But he is not, and has never been, our engineer.

0:48:450:48:50

That privilege, ours too, belongs to Mrs Fanthorpe.

0:48:500:48:56

A woman?!

0:48:560:48:58

I am that, sir, yes.

0:48:580:49:00

You have lost all reason. No, Mr Bruton, a thousand times no!

0:49:000:49:05

Martha, please sit!

0:49:050:49:07

A female engineer? Never! No, sir...

0:49:070:49:11

-Gentlemen, please...

-No, sir, I shan't accept...

0:49:110:49:13

It will only take a moment to listen to Mrs Fanthorpe's proposals.

0:49:130:49:17

Gentlemen!

0:49:170:49:18

Inspector! I'm glad to have found you.

0:49:360:49:39

Wanted you to be the first to comment on your employing

0:49:390:49:42

of Matthew Judge, a wanted murderer and the abductor

0:49:420:49:45

of the daughter of Mr Theodore Swift.

0:49:450:49:48

Mr Best, I'm afraid the story has moved on a yard or two now.

0:49:490:49:52

Nobody move or I snap his goddamn neck!

0:50:100:50:13

Everybody stay where they are!

0:50:130:50:15

TWO GUNSHOTS

0:50:170:50:19

Next one's in your head, Frank.

0:50:240:50:25

Let him go.

0:50:270:50:28

I let him go, they kill me.

0:50:310:50:32

I will if you don't.

0:50:320:50:34

If you do, they're going to give you what you want most in this world...

0:50:340:50:37

..your chance at me.

0:50:420:50:43

One shell a man, one shot apiece.

0:50:450:50:49

Toss 'em!

0:50:520:50:53

You still got that piece I gave you?

0:50:590:51:00

Take out all the brass bar one.

0:51:080:51:09

Give it to him.

0:51:150:51:17

Do it.

0:51:170:51:18

You kept in training?

0:51:400:51:41

Not so much.

0:51:430:51:44

Then I fear for you.

0:51:460:51:47

I do work with one advantage, however.

0:51:500:51:55

You want to tell me?

0:51:550:51:56

It's my home field.

0:52:050:52:06

Always were a faker.

0:52:510:52:53

You shouldn't have killed the boy, Frank.

0:52:530:52:55

I never knew a man who could make cheating so heroic.

0:53:250:53:28

Care to take a turn with me, Miss Hart?

0:53:350:53:37

I will.

0:53:390:53:40

I know no man named Judge.

0:53:520:53:53

I do know a man named Homer Jackson,

0:53:550:53:57

however, a police surgeon in this quarter

0:53:570:54:00

who just took down a cold-blooded, murdering Pinkerton out of New York.

0:54:000:54:03

That story enough for you, Best?

0:54:030:54:05

For now, Inspector.

0:54:070:54:09

He was a mad dog, that one.

0:54:140:54:16

His actions, no man could control them.

0:54:160:54:19

Your bodyguard, a lone killer acting on his own whim?

0:54:190:54:24

You think that's enough to spare you, do you?

0:54:240:54:27

I KNOW it will be.

0:54:270:54:29

Think of all the great men who have made their fortunes through me, Mr Reid.

0:54:300:54:35

All that I know of them.

0:54:350:54:37

All that I will tell from behind your bars.

0:54:370:54:41

You will not regret this, Mrs Fanthorpe.

0:55:230:55:26

You have promised me the full expression of my talents

0:55:260:55:29

and vision and that is all I've ever wanted from this life.

0:55:290:55:32

Then you travel in the correct direction.

0:55:320:55:35

America will prove much more accommodating.

0:55:360:55:40

Not so stuck in its ways as this place.

0:55:400:55:42

A woman like you, you will do very well indeed.

0:55:440:55:48

So is this the lot for a bobby's wife, then?

0:56:200:56:23

Never knowing when you're likely to come home?

0:56:230:56:26

Yeah, it can be.

0:56:260:56:29

And as you've said not long past, it is not much of a life.

0:56:290:56:35

You, er, you come to me out of fear, Rose.

0:56:370:56:41

Not natural affection.

0:56:420:56:46

I know I'm not much.

0:56:480:56:50

But I am worth better than that.

0:56:520:56:54

Then what's to become of me?

0:56:550:56:57

Your mistress is returned to her house.

0:56:570:57:01

You could do likewise if you wish.

0:57:010:57:03

And if I do not? If I decide to finish with that life?

0:57:030:57:07

Then you must be brave, Rose, and look for another.

0:57:070:57:12

Now get along with you, girl.

0:57:160:57:17

FLIES BUZZ

0:57:210:57:23

TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS DISTANTLY

0:57:260:57:28

Chief Inspector Abberline?

0:57:380:57:40

This man's rooms, now.

0:57:400:57:43

There!

0:57:450:57:47

Another tart's been ripped. Another snitch sends me to you.

0:57:470:57:51

Take him.

0:58:080:58:10

Do you think that hanging my American will return your sleep to you?

0:58:120:58:16

Are you so desperate, Inspector,

0:58:160:58:18

that you rake through all the suspects we ever knew?

0:58:180:58:21

I believe him returned.

0:58:210:58:23

What use our work if we cannot care for those we love?
