-A streetwalker, Sir, found ripped.

-SHE SCREAMS

0:00:020:00:04

This programme contains some scenes

0:00:040:00:06

which some viewers may find upsetting.

0:00:060:00:08

This man once called me a friend.

0:00:080:00:09

And then, amongst others,

0:00:090:00:10

you killed his brother.

0:00:100:00:12

Well, you know, he was never one to hold a grudge.

0:00:120:00:15

Stop!

0:00:150:00:16

Who is it tells me?

0:00:160:00:17

Police!

0:00:170:00:18

If I decide to finish with that life?

0:00:190:00:22

Then, you must be brave, Rose,

0:00:220:00:24

and look for another.

0:00:240:00:25

Always were a faker.

0:00:300:00:31

PEOPLE SCREAM

0:00:310:00:33

This man's rooms, now!

0:00:330:00:35

Another tart's been ripped

0:00:370:00:38

and I've a snitch sends me to you!

0:00:380:00:41

Take him!

0:00:420:00:44

The boy was crippled,

0:00:470:00:49

then put into the water to drown.

0:00:490:00:51

MURMURING

0:00:570:01:00

HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:01:090:01:11

All right, shut up, you evil drunks.

0:01:110:01:13

Shut it!

0:01:160:01:17

-HE SINGS:

-# As I was a-walking By St James' Hospital

0:01:180:01:24

# Early the morning Though warm was the day

0:01:240:01:28

# When who should I see But one of my comrades

0:01:280:01:33

# All wrapped up in flannel And cold as the clay

0:01:330:01:38

ALL: # Then beat the drum lowly

0:01:380:01:42

# And play your pipe slowly

0:01:420:01:44

# And sound the dead march As you carry me along

0:01:440:01:49

# And fire your bundooks Right over my coffin

0:01:490:01:54

# For I'm a young trooper Cut down in my prime

0:01:540:02:00

-HE SINGS:

-# 'The bugles were playing His mates were a-praying

0:02:000:02:06

# 'The chaplain was kneeling Down by his bed

0:02:060:02:12

# 'His poor head was aching His poor heart was breaking

0:02:120:02:16

# 'This poor young trooper Cut down in his prime

0:02:160:02:22

ALL: # 'Then beat the drum lowly And play your pipe slowly

0:02:220:02:27

# 'And sound the dead march As you carry me along

0:02:270:02:33

# And fire your bundooks Right over my coffin

0:02:330:02:38

# For I'm a young trooper Cut down in my prime. #

0:02:380:02:43

BOLTS OPEN

0:02:570:02:59

Reid.

0:04:000:04:01

-Dr Bagster-Phillips done his work?

-He has, Sir.

0:04:050:04:08

Inspector Abberline was there.

0:04:080:04:10

Your dead room was requisitioned for him.

0:04:100:04:12

Another streetwalker, murdered, I shall say,

0:04:220:04:25

at the hands of your Captain Jackson.

0:04:250:04:28

And that is your surgeon's opinion?

0:04:280:04:30

He goes to prepare his report.

0:04:310:04:33

But is convinced, nonetheless,

0:04:350:04:37

that she is Ripper.

0:04:370:04:40

Throat-cut commencing left, terminating right.

0:04:430:04:48

Abrasions on the spine.

0:04:480:04:49

Access to the pelvic organs secured with one incision -

0:04:490:04:53

ribcage to pubis.

0:04:530:04:56

As before.

0:04:560:04:57

Parts of the bladder taken and the womb also.

0:04:570:05:01

That organ recovered at Captain Jackson's lodgings on Tenter Street.

0:05:030:05:08

And what is it led you to search there?

0:05:080:05:12

The same communication which reported this poor creature's whereabouts?

0:05:120:05:15

It is sufficient, Inspector,

0:05:170:05:19

to draw this case to a close and name him.

0:05:190:05:23

Do you think, Fred,

0:05:230:05:25

that hanging my American will return your sleep to you?

0:05:250:05:28

Obsessions are addictions.

0:05:280:05:31

Which may not be defeated by actions in the physical world,

0:05:310:05:34

but by a change of temper in the mind.

0:05:340:05:37

Come on, Reid, we both know what gives here.

0:05:400:05:42

Fred Abberline is...

0:05:420:05:45

Ah, he's fixated, I grant you. But he's honest.

0:05:450:05:47

Led to your innocence, he'll have you freed.

0:05:470:05:50

-And it's you that pilots him there, is it?

-I hope to!

0:05:500:05:53

No. You really want to stop this?

0:05:530:05:55

-You want to save my neck from a stretching?

-Of course I do.

0:05:550:05:57

Then, you return to me my pistol, you forget those keys of yours.

0:05:570:06:00

And you take a walk.

0:06:000:06:01

And have this fantasy given extra credence?

0:06:010:06:03

Have vigilante patrols scouring the streets

0:06:030:06:06

looking for your head to break? No.

0:06:060:06:08

No. You, bide your time and you trust in me.

0:06:080:06:13

Sergeant Artherton, do you recall the cigarette seller?

0:06:190:06:22

Joseph Lawende.

0:06:220:06:23

Er...witness at the Eddowes inquiry?

0:06:230:06:25

Saw who ever she was with that night.

0:06:250:06:27

Goes by the name of Lavender now, Sir.

0:06:270:06:29

-Have him rousted and brought to me.

-Sir.

0:06:290:06:31

KNOCKING ON DOOR

0:06:370:06:38

SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

0:06:420:06:43

Come in.

0:06:430:06:45

Er...Rose, you have a visitor.

0:06:450:06:48

'I never expected to find you here, in Mrs Reid's shelter.

0:06:480:06:51

'When we are now'

0:06:510:06:52

quite recovered at Tenter Street.

0:06:520:06:54

Our gentlemen help us back to our feet.

0:06:540:06:56

All is as ever was.

0:06:560:06:58

Except, of course, the continued absence of Captain Jackson,

0:06:590:07:03

beneath the key of Mrs Reid here's husband.

0:07:030:07:06

And what will become of him, Miss Susan?

0:07:080:07:10

Mr Abberline makes his case.

0:07:100:07:13

They will call him Ripper.

0:07:140:07:16

And hang him.

0:07:160:07:17

Which is why I would have you back with me, Rose.

0:07:190:07:21

A room of your very own.

0:07:210:07:23

A key with which you can come and go as you please.

0:07:230:07:26

Rose, you are not imprisoned here.

0:07:260:07:28

I know, Mrs Reid.

0:07:280:07:30

But, Miss Hart, I cannot permit you to come here

0:07:300:07:32

if you do so to procure.

0:07:320:07:34

Rose, this woman would make a penniless drudge of you.

0:07:340:07:37

I would not.

0:07:370:07:39

I give her a home,

0:07:390:07:40

somewhere from which she may choose what to make of herself.

0:07:400:07:43

Rose?

0:07:430:07:44

Is it your wish that you remain here a while longer yet?

0:07:450:07:48

It is, Mrs Reid.

0:07:490:07:52

Miss Susan, you took me from the streets and gave me a home.

0:07:520:07:56

But I am set now on improving my circumstances further still.

0:07:580:08:03

And how will you do that, girl?

0:08:030:08:05

I would not hex myself by saying yet.

0:08:050:08:07

But I do hope to tell you all, very soon.

0:08:090:08:12

SHE SIGHS

0:08:250:08:26

Mr Lavender, I'm most grateful for your visit.

0:08:300:08:33

Am I to believe there was choice in the matter?

0:08:330:08:36

What does that man do here!?

0:08:360:08:38

He helps us.

0:08:400:08:41

And may confirm your convictions, Chief Inspector,

0:08:410:08:45

that Jackson is Ripper.

0:08:450:08:47

Your office, now!

0:08:470:08:50

Do you not consider witness identification a key constituent?

0:08:500:08:53

That man, an eccentric at best, a loon at worst,

0:08:530:08:57

had full clap of the man with Catherine Eddowes

0:08:570:08:59

and still could not describe him to us!

0:08:590:09:01

But now, we have something that we lacked then -

0:09:010:09:03

we have a suspect in custody for him to make comparison.

0:09:030:09:06

Or are you afraid of what he might say?

0:09:060:09:09

Follow us, Mr Lavender.

0:09:140:09:16

Mr Lavender, it is a year since, I know.

0:09:180:09:20

But there is a man beyond we wish you to study.

0:09:200:09:23

Please, Sir. Step forward.

0:09:280:09:30

Closer.

0:09:310:09:32

Look at him!

0:09:330:09:35

Well?

0:09:410:09:43

No, I cannot say.

0:09:430:09:46

It is what I have tried to tell you.

0:09:460:09:49

Yes, that night...

0:09:510:09:54

..I saw him.

0:09:550:09:57

But I saw nothing in him!

0:09:580:10:01

Where his face should be...

0:10:010:10:03

..only darkness.

0:10:050:10:06

It's The Ripper.

0:10:070:10:10

HE SIGHS

0:10:100:10:11

He is dybbuk.

0:10:110:10:13

HE SIGHS

0:10:130:10:15

You chase him...

0:10:150:10:17

HE CHUCKLES

0:10:170:10:18

..you are fools.

0:10:180:10:19

Whatever peace you have known,

0:10:190:10:22

you will know it no longer.

0:10:220:10:23

Only calamity...

0:10:230:10:25

..and turmoil.

0:10:270:10:28

Evil on your shoulder.

0:10:300:10:33

This all does nothing, Edmund.

0:10:330:10:35

Come on.

0:10:370:10:39

Your Ripper is not for finding.

0:10:390:10:43

Only for hunting!

0:10:430:10:45

Well, that went well.

0:10:470:10:48

Thank you.

0:10:580:10:59

Hobbs' wife.

0:11:110:11:13

Come to collect his personals.

0:11:130:11:15

Hobbs was married!?

0:11:160:11:17

I had no...I had no idea.

0:11:180:11:21

No, Sir.

0:11:220:11:24

Oh, Sergeant.

0:11:260:11:28

I'd hear your thoughts on what we might next do for Captain Jackson?

0:11:280:11:31

I was set on an afternoon in The Bear, Sir.

0:11:310:11:33

I am owed time, as you know.

0:11:330:11:36

Sergeant Drake!

0:11:480:11:50

You explain yourself.

0:11:520:11:53

If you work to free Captain Jackson,

0:11:530:11:56

or whatever name it is we should now call him by,

0:11:560:11:59

I'm sorry, but you must do so alone.

0:11:590:12:03

You honestly think him guilty of this woman's killing?

0:12:030:12:05

The others also? That we at last have our man?

0:12:050:12:07

Mr Reid, I care not.

0:12:070:12:09

All I know is, the man who made that woman widow, Frank Goodnight,

0:12:090:12:14

he came to this town in search of our American.

0:12:140:12:17

Your association with Captain Jackson...

0:12:170:12:21

it has done us little but ill,

0:12:210:12:23

in my humble opinion.

0:12:230:12:24

Look at these last months, Bennet. We've done some good with his help, have we not?

0:12:240:12:28

You tell that to Dick Hobbs.

0:12:280:12:29

See if you can rouse agreement from him.

0:12:290:12:32

Miss Erskin.

0:12:510:12:52

I am sorry if I am late, Mr Trumper.

0:12:520:12:54

I, I missed my omnibus at Bethnal Green and had to wait...

0:12:540:12:56

Not at all, it's wonderful to see you again.

0:12:560:13:00

You did have me worried, however...

0:13:000:13:02

-..that you might have changed your mind.

-Oh, no, Sir.

0:13:040:13:07

I, I've been greatly looking forward to meeting with you once more.

0:13:070:13:12

Shall we take a walk?

0:13:120:13:14

'When I saw the Estancia for the first time,'

0:13:140:13:17

two day's ride from Buenos Aries, it is magnificent.

0:13:170:13:22

It's 50,000 acres, 70,000 head of cattle.

0:13:220:13:25

But there have been sacrifices.

0:13:250:13:27

Ten hard years of labour and...

0:13:270:13:29

Well...

0:13:310:13:32

..I am a man who wishes for a family.

0:13:340:13:38

For a wife.

0:13:380:13:40

I would find that wife here rather than in the Argentine.

0:13:400:13:43

To think that we were introduced through the pages of a newspaper...

0:13:430:13:47

Well, it is a wonder.

0:13:470:13:50

Miss Erskine.

0:13:500:13:52

Without wishing to seem over-forward,

0:13:520:13:56

but do you imagine that such a life might suit you?

0:13:560:13:59

Mr Trumper, I...

0:14:000:14:01

..I know nothing of the world except for this patch of sky right here.

0:14:030:14:08

But I would change that.

0:14:090:14:11

Do you think that you might begin to call me...Victor?

0:14:110:14:16

I'm Rose.

0:14:180:14:20

Rose.

0:14:200:14:21

HE CHUCKLES

0:14:230:14:24

As we agreed, I've brought us a picnic.

0:14:240:14:27

HE CHUCKLES

0:14:270:14:29

SHE CHUCKLES

0:14:320:14:35

HE CHUCKLES

0:14:360:14:38

SHE LAUGHS

0:14:380:14:40

Miss Rose? Are you unwell?

0:14:430:14:46

I feel I, I might...

0:14:480:14:51

Oh, please! Someone?

0:14:530:14:55

Call a carriage!

0:14:550:14:56

Can you hear me?

0:14:570:14:58

Cheers, Neville.

0:15:210:15:23

HE PANTS

0:15:290:15:32

This one?

0:15:340:15:35

He, er...he threw his neighbour's son

0:15:350:15:38

off the roof of Christ Church Spitalfield.

0:15:380:15:41

The company I keep these days, Reid.

0:15:410:15:44

Sergeant Drake.

0:15:540:15:55

Miss Susan.

0:15:570:15:58

Rose is no longer with us.

0:15:580:16:00

Have you not heard?

0:16:000:16:03

Oh, I heard all right. I er...

0:16:030:16:05

It is the reason I come.

0:16:090:16:11

Is it true, Sergeant, you were sweet on Rose?

0:16:150:16:19

But that she let you down?

0:16:190:16:20

That makes her a fool

0:16:240:16:27

and more besides.

0:16:270:16:29

There's not a girl here

0:16:290:16:30

who doesn't think you are the finest of men.

0:16:300:16:32

Miss Bella...

0:16:450:16:46

Sergeant?

0:16:460:16:47

..would you keep a secret for me?

0:16:470:16:49

Till my death.

0:16:490:16:51

If we just sat here for a while,

0:16:510:16:54

in this chair, you and I.

0:16:540:16:57

And perhaps I might sleep for a moment or so.

0:16:590:17:03

If we did that...

0:17:050:17:06

..would you tell no-one what passed?

0:17:070:17:09

I er...I do not ask you to lie,

0:17:110:17:15

simply to say nothing if questioned.

0:17:150:17:18

House broken up on Truman.

0:17:460:17:48

Street theft, Commercial Street.

0:17:480:17:50

Street theft, Aldgate Corner.

0:17:500:17:52

Three counts of public indecency down at Petticoat.

0:17:520:17:55

Two men cutlassed at closing time at the Shipwrights. One now dead.

0:17:550:17:58

Two missing persons, both teenage girls.

0:17:580:18:00

One on Sidney, the other, Cheshire.

0:18:000:18:03

Are you finished, Artherton?

0:18:030:18:04

That is today's roll, Sir. Yes.

0:18:040:18:07

Mrs Reid?

0:18:070:18:08

-ALL:

-Morning, Madam.

0:18:080:18:10

Come in, Emily.

0:18:100:18:11

It is the third night this week you've slept in that cot.

0:18:180:18:21

-Is it more comfortable than it looks?

-No.

0:18:210:18:24

No, I er...I'm tired, Emily.

0:18:240:18:26

I'd fall asleep on pins.

0:18:260:18:28

I come because...

0:18:330:18:35

..I confess myself disturbed.

0:18:360:18:39

Rose. The girl I took in from Miss Hart's.

0:18:410:18:44

What of her?

0:18:440:18:45

She did not return last night.

0:18:450:18:47

Edmund, I thought her sincere.

0:18:480:18:50

What do you suppose might happen, Bennet, if we sat here all day?

0:19:170:19:20

We'd be drunk, Mr Reid.

0:19:260:19:27

Whisky.

0:19:270:19:29

Your Rose...

0:19:380:19:39

She's not my Rose.

0:19:390:19:41

She's not mine...

0:19:410:19:43

..as you well know.

0:19:450:19:46

According to Mrs Reid, Rose did not return to the shelter last night.

0:19:480:19:51

Then, she returns to type.

0:19:510:19:53

That was my response also until Mrs Reid told me

0:19:530:19:56

the shelter had been broke into.

0:19:560:19:57

Nothing taken but the girl's personals.

0:19:570:20:00

What use our work, Bennet...

0:20:040:20:07

..if we cannot care for those we love?

0:20:080:20:10

DOOR OPENS

0:20:140:20:16

-You said the wastepaper had been cleared?

-Uh-huh.

0:20:210:20:24

You noticed it full.

0:20:240:20:25

The newspapers, writing paper. It struck me as strange.

0:20:250:20:29

What? That she could read and write?

0:20:290:20:31

I suppose so, yes.

0:20:310:20:32

The Ragged School, on Field Lane.

0:20:320:20:35

She went there every day till she was 16.

0:20:350:20:37

Did you see what she read and wrote here?

0:20:390:20:41

Er...letters, many of them.

0:20:410:20:43

-Received and sent.

-Letters?

0:20:430:20:45

-Will you fetch me paper?

-Uh-huh.

0:20:470:20:49

Did she speak also of a wide network of friends and family

0:20:530:20:57

with whom she would correspond?

0:20:570:20:59

She has none, Sir.

0:20:590:21:01

Thank you.

0:21:010:21:02

You see these?

0:21:120:21:13

Circles. Many circles.

0:21:130:21:16

These letters, Emily, do you think it possible

0:21:190:21:21

she might have ran and responded to adverts in the Lonely Hearts?

0:21:210:21:24

It is possible, yes.

0:21:240:21:26

Sergeant, we are going back to work.

0:21:290:21:31

Does that suit you?

0:21:310:21:32

Yes, Mr Reid, it does.

0:21:340:21:36

Artherton. Read me that roll again.

0:21:370:21:39

-Yes, Sir. Er, house broken up on Truman Street.

-Yes.

0:21:390:21:42

-Street theft, Commercial Street.

-Yes, yes.

0:21:420:21:44

-Three counts of public indecency.

-Yes.

0:21:440:21:46

-Two men cutlassed at closing.

-Move on!

0:21:460:21:49

And two missing persons, both teenage girls.

0:21:490:21:51

-What ages, precisely?

-17 and 19, Sir.

0:21:510:21:53

-One on Sidney Street, one on Cheshire?

-Sir.

0:21:530:21:55

No tarts or destitutes, then?

0:21:550:21:57

No, both house maids.

0:21:570:21:58

Reported last night, but missing since when?

0:21:580:22:00

One on 19th, the other the 22nd.

0:22:000:22:02

Get men to their addresses. All their personal effects returned here.

0:22:020:22:05

Yes, Mr Reid. Johnson! Michaels!

0:22:050:22:07

With me, Sergeant. We return to our past.

0:22:070:22:09

All our Ripper suspects, Sir?

0:22:110:22:12

High earners, very,

0:22:120:22:15

I look for one in particular.

0:22:150:22:17

Here.

0:22:180:22:19

Here!

0:22:210:22:23

What?

0:22:300:22:31

Are you so desperate, Inspector,

0:22:310:22:33

that you rake through all the suspects we ever knew?

0:22:330:22:36

We have the man, in your cell.

0:22:360:22:39

Those two missing girls' particulars, Sir.

0:22:410:22:44

They were using the Lonely Hearts and all.

0:22:450:22:48

Ah, you see, the favoured here are highlighted?

0:22:490:22:53

Which is why I look for this man.

0:22:530:22:56

Victor Silver.

0:22:560:23:00

Cattleman.

0:23:000:23:01

Land in the Argentine.

0:23:010:23:03

Slaughters his beef there.

0:23:030:23:05

Refrigerates it to board his reefer ship.

0:23:050:23:08

Ships it for sale - New York, the Continent, London.

0:23:080:23:11

And once he got here,

0:23:110:23:13

the way he liked to operate -

0:23:130:23:14

he placed these personals,

0:23:140:23:16

like the ones used by our missing girls.

0:23:160:23:19

He responded to them also, met these girls, charmed them, drugged them

0:23:190:23:23

took them off the streets. Why?

0:23:230:23:25

We never knew. The only way he came to eye is one of them caught him

0:23:250:23:28

slipping a dose of narcotics into her drink.

0:23:280:23:31

They fought, he produced a knife.

0:23:310:23:34

A long one, very sharp.

0:23:340:23:36

It failed to stop her from kicking his bollocks in and running to us.

0:23:360:23:40

But, for a week or two, we fancied him for Ripper. Do you remember?

0:23:400:23:43

And then, we ruled him out.

0:23:430:23:46

For good reasons.

0:23:460:23:48

Ones which I am surprised you have forgot.

0:23:480:23:52

Sergeant, read from the file.

0:23:520:23:55

The up-front summation will suffice.

0:23:550:23:58

Victor Silver, cattle importer.

0:23:580:24:00

Deceased 15th of Sep...

0:24:000:24:02

Deceased 15th of September 1888.

0:24:040:24:07

A year ago.

0:24:070:24:08

Read on.

0:24:080:24:09

The details of his death.

0:24:090:24:11

Drowned aboard the steam launch, The Pride Of Wapping.

0:24:110:24:14

Drowned aboard the steam launch, The Pride Of Wapping...

0:24:140:24:18

No.

0:24:180:24:19

Missing.

0:24:190:24:20

No body found or washed up.

0:24:220:24:24

77 drowned. Five lost.

0:24:250:24:28

171 saved. Myself included.

0:24:280:24:30

This man, Silver. Mr Reid? It is the first time I've heard his name.

0:24:370:24:41

There were many names mentioned last year. Hardly surprising to forget a few.

0:24:410:24:44

Yes, Sir. But tell me if I overstep. The Pride Of Wapping?

0:24:440:24:47

Was that not the launch from which your daughter...?

0:24:470:24:50

Sergeant. You overstep.

0:24:500:24:51

Dear Miss Erskine,

0:25:090:25:10

I am Clara, Victor's sister.

0:25:100:25:13

You took ill, so he brought you to our home.

0:25:130:25:17

It is morning.

0:25:170:25:18

I was worried you might never wake.

0:25:180:25:20

I cannot remember when I ever slept so sound.

0:25:200:25:24

Is there somewhere you need to be?

0:25:240:25:27

If there is, I...I cannot remember.

0:25:270:25:31

Then, please. I have laid out some clothes.

0:25:310:25:34

When you are ready, join us for breakfast.

0:25:340:25:38

KNOCKING ON DOOR

0:25:480:25:50

Dear Rose. Please.

0:25:500:25:53

This is my other brother, Barnaby.

0:25:540:25:57

And our young friend, Mary.

0:25:590:26:01

You are very pretty, Miss.

0:26:060:26:09

Please come.

0:26:110:26:12

BELL TINKLES

0:26:180:26:20

Barnaby?

0:26:210:26:22

Excuse me, Miss Rose.

0:26:220:26:24

Rose.

0:26:280:26:30

It was my greatest hope to find you still here.

0:26:300:26:32

I have been made most welcome.

0:26:320:26:35

I am blessed with my family.

0:26:350:26:37

BELL KEEPS TINKLING

0:26:370:26:38

Do you not agree?

0:26:380:26:40

Barnaby, see to the bell.

0:26:400:26:42

It is the most common of plagues, Mr Reid.

0:26:480:26:52

Loneliness.

0:26:520:26:54

It is the city's curse.

0:26:540:26:55

But this, our Lonely Hearts, the remedy.

0:26:550:26:59

Now, you may dictate the details of your desired love.

0:26:590:27:02

Our team of editors,

0:27:020:27:04

their one aim to lead you toward the happiness that all men merit,

0:27:040:27:08

they will transcribe, print and forward the missives of your passion

0:27:080:27:12

for the smallest of prices and in total anonymity.

0:27:120:27:15

But were we to construct and place our own,

0:27:150:27:17

you would print and run it for us?

0:27:170:27:19

Oh, so you do seek a wife for your Sergeant.

0:27:190:27:23

Your head is a sight to behold, scribbler.

0:27:230:27:26

You want me to match this side with the other?

0:27:290:27:31

Mr Drake, come now.

0:27:310:27:33

HE CHUCKLES

0:27:330:27:34

Oh, you know me. Hmm? Ever obliging.

0:27:340:27:38

But I would know

0:27:400:27:42

what reward we, here at The Star,

0:27:420:27:44

might expect for such a service.

0:27:440:27:47

Perhaps...

0:27:470:27:49

an interview with your gunslinger Ripper?

0:27:490:27:52

What price these personal advertisements?

0:27:520:27:54

-Ten pence.

-Then that is your reward, Mr Best.

0:27:540:27:57

HE CHUCKLES

0:27:570:27:59

'As you compose your messages,'

0:27:590:28:00

remember this,

0:28:000:28:02

he will want you naive, young,

0:28:020:28:04

lonely and lost in this world.

0:28:040:28:06

You may dictate your messages to these men here.

0:28:060:28:08

And when you do, you speak from the heart.

0:28:080:28:11

It is our Rose for whom we do so.

0:28:110:28:13

I am a gentle girl, shy at first,

0:28:130:28:16

but eager to demonstrate...

0:28:160:28:19

Rose?

0:28:290:28:30

Are there those that miss and wonder after you?

0:28:340:28:37

No, Victor.

0:28:390:28:41

Not a soul?

0:28:420:28:43

It makes me weep to think of you so alone.

0:28:480:28:52

I do not feel so in your home, however.

0:28:540:28:57

I feel as happy here as I ever have.

0:28:570:28:59

A rose, for a Rose.

0:29:070:29:10

You need not be so gallant.

0:29:200:29:22

Not with me.

0:29:220:29:24

Do I offend, Sir?

0:29:310:29:32

It's quite all right, Rose.

0:29:350:29:36

Here...

0:29:380:29:39

Some more cordial?

0:29:410:29:42

No, I...

0:29:460:29:47

..I don't think I will.

0:29:480:29:50

Perhaps it's time I took my leave of you.

0:29:530:29:55

No, Rose. We grow far too fond of you here.

0:29:560:29:59

Do we not, Brother?

0:30:030:30:04

We do, Victor.

0:30:040:30:06

SHE SCREAMS

0:30:060:30:07

Have Clara calm her.

0:30:070:30:09

Let me go!

0:30:090:30:10

Put me down, let me go!

0:30:100:30:13

HAMMERING

0:30:130:30:14

There is violence in that one, Victor.

0:30:140:30:17

She has worth, however.

0:30:170:30:18

Not if she scratch the eyes from the man to whom she is sold.

0:30:180:30:21

HE SIGHS

0:30:210:30:22

Sweet sister. You shall look after her.

0:30:220:30:25

And when seven weeks at sea have passed,

0:30:250:30:27

well, she'll be grateful merely to be alive.

0:30:270:30:30

Clara.

0:30:300:30:31

Hold firm.

0:30:310:30:33

We have but one more package yet to collect.

0:30:330:30:36

And then, we can set to sea,

0:30:360:30:38

safe in the knowledge that we need not return until the new century.

0:30:380:30:42

Should we wish to return at all?

0:30:420:30:44

Now go. You've left the child alone

0:30:470:30:49

and, though we need no longer bind her to her bed,

0:30:490:30:53

she may still run from us, given the opportunity.

0:30:530:30:55

You're to see all of these printed in the morning run.

0:31:000:31:02

And take receipt of all marked applicants yourself.

0:31:020:31:05

-You...

-You heard me, scribbler!

0:31:050:31:07

GIRL MUTTERS IN HER SLEEP

0:31:160:31:19

HE SIGHS

0:31:410:31:43

What is it?

0:31:430:31:44

The accident I told you of.

0:31:500:31:52

My daughter.

0:31:540:31:55

There was a man aboard that boat.

0:31:570:32:00

A man whose remains were also never recovered...

0:32:040:32:09

..but all thought him dead.

0:32:110:32:13

This man, I...

0:32:130:32:16

..I believe him returned.

0:32:170:32:18

And if he indeed survived, then...

0:32:200:32:23

..so also you think perhaps your daughter.

0:32:250:32:30

I have always known it.

0:32:330:32:35

I have known she was out there, somewhere.

0:32:360:32:39

But this, this secret dream that now takes life...

0:32:390:32:43

It is not for you to share with me.

0:32:440:32:47

Your daughter had a mother.

0:32:520:32:54

A mother who would have me call her dead and gone...

0:32:540:32:57

No, Edmund, no!

0:32:570:33:00

I cannot be the sounding board for your guilt.

0:33:000:33:04

You seek forgiveness?

0:33:080:33:10

An ally in the hope that your life

0:33:110:33:13

might return to what it once was?

0:33:130:33:16

I cannot provide these things for you.

0:33:170:33:20

SHE SIGHS

0:33:210:33:23

Please.

0:33:230:33:25

You should go home.

0:33:250:33:26

Have you been here all night?

0:33:380:33:40

Please sit down, Emily, I would speak with you.

0:33:410:33:44

One of the five unrecovered from the steam cruiser that day.

0:33:570:34:00

A man.

0:34:020:34:04

Name of Silver.

0:34:040:34:06

I believe he still breathes.

0:34:080:34:10

Mathilda.

0:34:100:34:12

She was with him.

0:34:120:34:14

How?!

0:34:150:34:16

Because...she was with me.

0:34:160:34:20

And I was at work.

0:34:220:34:23

He was a candidate of mine.

0:34:260:34:28

For Ripper.

0:34:290:34:31

I had men put on his lodgings

0:34:310:34:33

with orders to alert me, should he leave.

0:34:330:34:36

I came home...

0:34:360:34:37

For the first time in, in ten days.

0:34:370:34:39

You had asked me to.

0:34:390:34:41

So that you might go visiting in Harrow.

0:34:410:34:43

So that I may have an hour or two for myself!

0:34:430:34:46

If...if you even begin to lay this at my door,

0:34:460:34:49

I will leave this moment and you will never see me more.

0:34:490:34:52

Word came.

0:34:540:34:55

He was moving south.

0:34:560:34:58

And so, you decided to take her with you.

0:34:580:35:01

To have our daughter by your side as you stalked this man.

0:35:030:35:08

Should I have left her here?

0:35:080:35:09

Yes, Edmund! You should have!

0:35:090:35:12

SHE SOBS

0:35:140:35:15

You say she was with him.

0:35:200:35:22

We picked him up on Petticoat Lane.

0:35:240:35:26

She held my hand as we walked south.

0:35:290:35:32

For the docks, at St Catherine's.

0:35:320:35:35

Do you remember how she loved the boats?

0:35:350:35:37

We bought tickets.

0:35:390:35:41

The launch sailed.

0:35:410:35:43

Mathilda joined a gaggle of young

0:35:430:35:44

running back and forth on the upper deck.

0:35:440:35:47

Which is where I found him.

0:35:480:35:50

He had met a girl, Veronica Atkins.

0:35:500:35:54

Her drowned body recovered one week later, at Greenwich.

0:35:550:35:59

He had bought her lemonade.

0:36:010:36:03

Which I feared he would drug.

0:36:030:36:05

I stepped forward, he saw me.

0:36:050:36:08

Knew me for what I was.

0:36:080:36:09

At which moment it all came to pass.

0:36:130:36:16

The ship struck.

0:36:160:36:18

The hull split.

0:36:180:36:20

The deck lurching into the air.

0:36:200:36:22

The gaggle of girls, slipping across it.

0:36:220:36:25

Mathilda calling for me as she fell.

0:36:270:36:29

All was aflame.

0:36:310:36:33

The steam pipe came down upon me. I could not move.

0:36:330:36:36

Could not reach her as she fell past this man, into the water beneath him.

0:36:380:36:43

Where he, unable to cling on, also fell an instant later.

0:36:430:36:48

Do you see, Emily?

0:36:500:36:51

He might be able to say.

0:36:530:36:55

To recall...

0:36:560:36:57

..that no, she sank like a rock to the floor of the Thames.

0:36:590:37:03

Or that yes, she clung to driftwood.

0:37:030:37:08

Or even to he, himself.

0:37:080:37:10

-SHE SOBS:

-Stop. Stop.

0:37:100:37:11

You raise a hope that sinks its claws into me.

0:37:130:37:16

If it is forlorn...

0:37:170:37:19

..Edmund, I dare not think what will become of us.

0:37:220:37:25

Florence, authoress and composer of music.

0:37:290:37:32

32, wishes to meet with a true gentleman.

0:37:320:37:35

Too old.

0:37:350:37:37

Help!

0:37:440:37:46

Help!

0:37:460:37:48

BELL TINKLES

Madison!

0:39:100:39:11

Send to Inspector Reid.

0:39:130:39:15

Tell him there's a lonely-heart cattleman here.

0:39:150:39:17

Name of Trumper.

0:39:170:39:20

Victor Trumper.

0:39:200:39:21

You. Name?

0:39:230:39:24

Bella.

0:39:240:39:25

I cannot watch from close.

0:39:290:39:31

This man, if it is he, he has had sight of me before.

0:39:310:39:35

The Sergeant here will never be far. We have a carriage outside.

0:39:350:39:39

For caution, Bella.

0:39:460:39:48

I am very proud of you.

0:39:480:39:49

SHE SIGHS

0:39:560:39:57

Miss Culver?

0:40:220:40:23

Mr...Trumper?

0:40:230:40:25

Well, I am sure all who see you say the same,

0:40:310:40:33

that you are, forgive me, a beautiful woman.

0:40:330:40:37

-Miss?

-Bella.

0:40:390:40:41

I cannot see him clear enough.

0:40:410:40:43

Would you call me Victor?

0:40:460:40:48

Shall we stroll a little?

0:40:490:40:51

I should like that.

0:40:530:40:54

Riggs and Michaels track along the ridge above. Drake in their steps.

0:40:560:40:59

None closer than 50 yard. I shall cut left.

0:40:590:41:01

See if I can get closer. Go, go.

0:41:010:41:02

I took the liberty.

0:41:230:41:25

Please.

0:41:280:41:29

It's lemonade.

0:41:370:41:38

Made by my sister.

0:41:400:41:41

Where was it you lived, before you came to this city?

0:41:560:41:59

Southend, Sir.

0:41:590:42:01

Please, call me Victor.

0:42:010:42:04

Do drink some more of your lemonade...

0:42:040:42:07

We should walk a little more.

0:42:090:42:11

No, Sir. I'm happy here.

0:42:110:42:13

No, you shall call me Victor.

0:42:130:42:17

And we shall walk.

0:42:170:42:18

You!

0:42:220:42:23

Whoever you are, you stop right there!

0:42:230:42:26

You. It is you.

0:42:260:42:29

If I see any of you move, she's dead.

0:42:290:42:31

Sergeant Drake!

0:42:380:42:39

GUNSHOT

0:42:430:42:44

No!

0:42:440:42:45

HE CHOKES

0:42:540:42:55

Damn you, Silver.

0:42:560:42:58

Damn you, you stay alive. You stay alive!

0:42:580:43:00

Give it to me, you're all right.

0:43:000:43:02

Yes. You remember me?

0:43:050:43:07

You remember me, you remember my little girl, Silver?

0:43:070:43:10

You remember her also?

0:43:100:43:13

Tell me! Did she live? Do you have her?

0:43:130:43:16

Did you see her, do you have her?

0:43:160:43:19

No!

0:43:220:43:23

No! No! No!

0:43:230:43:25

No! No! No!

0:43:250:43:27

He's the only one, he's the only one, you understand?

0:43:270:43:30

He's the only one who could say, whether she lives!

0:43:300:43:32

His sister.

0:43:320:43:34

HE GASPS

0:43:340:43:35

He spoke of his sister.

0:43:350:43:37

'Jackson!'

0:43:380:43:40

Are you still on my ticket?

0:43:400:43:41

Yes, I am.

0:43:410:43:43

Then, I need you now by my side.

0:43:430:43:44

I need to know where he's been the last 48 hours.

0:43:470:43:49

You can help me.

0:43:490:43:50

He has Miss Rose under key somewhere.

0:43:530:43:56

Others also.

0:43:560:43:57

This was about him.

0:43:590:44:00

-You expect me to work like this?

-Yes, I do for now. Yes!

0:44:000:44:02

Well, then get him stripped, goddamit!

0:44:020:44:05

These in his coat, they are customs dockets

0:44:080:44:10

for cargo transit aboard a ship - the Clara May.

0:44:100:44:15

Eight separate items. Large ones too.

0:44:150:44:17

-She sails in a day.

-There's matter in his lungs.

0:44:170:44:20

What is it?

0:44:200:44:22

I can't say yet.

0:44:220:44:24

I need to remove the tissue, set it in wax and make a cross-section.

0:44:240:44:27

Then I can tell you.

0:44:270:44:29

HE SNIFFS

0:44:290:44:30

What's this? Smell.

0:44:300:44:31

-I have to cook it.

-Cook it?

0:44:360:44:37

Yes! Cook it! Get some scissors and cut a patch.

0:44:370:44:41

And?!

0:44:580:44:59

Patience, Reid.

0:44:590:45:00

It's just a matter of minutes.

0:45:020:45:03

So, is this her?

0:45:050:45:07

-This the woman I am supposed to have slaughtered?

-What if she is?

0:45:070:45:11

If I could see a way of clearing myself of this,

0:45:240:45:28

would you grant it to me?

0:45:280:45:29

-Not if it involve you leaving this room, Captain.

-It does not.

0:45:290:45:33

Just tell me you ain't burned Frank Goodnight.

0:45:330:45:36

One dead Pinkerton.

0:45:410:45:44

Any man stands in my way shall find my foot on his throat!

0:45:440:45:48

The three of you.

0:45:510:45:53

I'll see you on the rope with him.

0:45:530:45:55

Enough!

0:45:550:45:57

This man is Homer Jackson, he is my surgeon!

0:46:040:46:08

I man I trust to show me to the truth, as I have always done.

0:46:100:46:13

Now, make your case, Captain.

0:46:140:46:16

Do you see any stripes here?

0:46:190:46:21

Blood drawn?

0:46:210:46:23

No.

0:46:230:46:24

This woman, dead five days. Yes?

0:46:250:46:27

Yes.

0:46:270:46:29

You see here, these two finger nails broken.

0:46:290:46:32

Skin, from her assailant.

0:46:370:46:39

Now, Inspector you will confirm

0:46:390:46:41

-that I have not yet opened this sack.

-I will.

0:46:410:46:43

Frank Goodnight, the man that I shot dead out there.

0:46:440:46:48

A man with a long history of malice held in my direction.

0:46:480:46:52

What do you see?

0:46:550:46:56

Scratches. Four of them.

0:46:560:46:59

The two middle deepest. Corresponding with the broken nails.

0:46:590:47:01

Right hand to left side of neck.

0:47:010:47:03

-Circumstance. Chance.

-I have not yet finished.

0:47:030:47:05

Sergeant Drake, describe me.

0:47:050:47:08

An adjective or two.

0:47:080:47:09

-American.

-So you keep saying.

0:47:100:47:13

-Feckless.

-Come on! Describe my appearance.

0:47:130:47:15

Unwashed. Scraggly.

0:47:150:47:17

Thank you! Frank Goodnight here was not.

0:47:170:47:19

You can smell the hair-oil on him still.

0:47:190:47:22

Macassar.

0:47:230:47:25

It was wound about her fingers.

0:47:250:47:27

Smell it.

0:47:280:47:29

HE SNIFFS

0:47:310:47:33

Strike you as familiar at all?

0:47:330:47:35

If you wish to pursue your current course of action, you be my guest.

0:47:350:47:40

You and I will be pitched apart, Fred.

0:47:400:47:43

The press will celebrate it, your name blackened, or mine.

0:47:430:47:47

But the same truth still abides.

0:47:470:47:49

This man is not the man you seek.

0:47:490:47:51

Now...

0:47:530:47:54

..will you let us get about our duty?

0:47:550:47:57

Well?

0:48:060:48:07

It's organic.

0:48:120:48:13

Lignified.

0:48:130:48:15

Could be sawdust or wood shavings.

0:48:150:48:19

In his lungs!

0:48:190:48:20

Heavily calloused.

0:48:220:48:24

What's he been building?

0:48:240:48:25

The patch from his trousers.

0:48:250:48:27

Ah, ammonia.

0:48:300:48:32

The refrigeration wadding on his ship? Is he stripping it?

0:48:320:48:34

To make his hold more inhabitable?

0:48:340:48:36

Sir, the customs dockets. eight different units.

0:48:360:48:39

He's constructing his own sea-cans.

0:48:390:48:41

Each one large enough to hold a grown woman

0:48:410:48:43

while he traffics her across to South America.

0:48:430:48:45

But it's seven weeks to the Argentine.

0:48:450:48:47

-Captain, the medicine with which he doped that girl?

-Laudanum.

0:48:470:48:49

Cut with passion flower tincture. Keeps you calm and happy

0:48:490:48:52

-no matter the circumstance.

-So you'd need a lot.

0:48:520:48:54

More than you'd collect from your neighbourhood druggist.

0:48:540:48:57

Sergeant, find out where his ship is at dock.

0:48:570:48:59

Get a list of all the pharmaceutical wholesalers within two miles of it.

0:48:590:49:02

Number 64!

0:49:100:49:11

Here!

0:49:110:49:12

BELL TINKERS

0:49:160:49:18

Miss Silver! If that is your name. We have your brother.

0:49:180:49:21

-Which? Victor?

-There is another?

0:49:230:49:26

THEY WHISPER: She must know where these girls are kept.

0:49:370:49:40

Reid, there's a strategy that I'd like to put to you.

0:49:400:49:44

It's going to require Drake, here.

0:49:440:49:46

Go on.

0:49:470:49:48

-I would see Victor.

-Would you?

0:49:570:49:59

While he is otherwise occupied, Miss Silver.

0:50:020:50:04

My company will have to do. Now.

0:50:060:50:08

This is what I know.

0:50:080:50:10

You, your brothers...

0:50:100:50:12

turn young women's loneliness to your own account.

0:50:120:50:15

You draw them in. Seduce. Drug.

0:50:150:50:17

House them in cargo cans for their shipping to South America.

0:50:190:50:22

And...

0:50:240:50:25

Well, there my knowledge finds its limit.

0:50:260:50:30

There is much lies beyond those limits, Inspector.

0:50:300:50:33

For one thing,

0:50:330:50:35

where it is you imprison your cargo before its journey?

0:50:350:50:40

For another, who it is keeps watch on them there?

0:50:400:50:43

Your other brother.

0:50:430:50:45

He indeed.

0:50:450:50:46

Barnaby.

0:50:480:50:49

If Victor and I are not returned home,

0:50:490:50:51

alone and unharmed by nightfall,

0:50:510:50:53

he will not falter.

0:50:530:50:55

He will kill them all and not think twice.

0:50:550:50:57

I, er...

0:50:570:50:58

I would avoid that.

0:51:000:51:01

As would I.

0:51:030:51:04

Then, best you tell me where it is he keeps them.

0:51:040:51:07

What did Victor say when you asked him this?

0:51:070:51:09

He remained silent.

0:51:090:51:11

Then, so shall I.

0:51:110:51:12

The child killer!

0:51:140:51:16

Get him stripped.

0:51:160:51:17

What the hell are you doing?

0:51:200:51:22

Creole trapper showed me how.

0:51:220:51:24

Never attempted it myself though.

0:51:240:51:27

May I ask how it was you found us?

0:51:290:51:31

You have a girl known to us.

0:51:310:51:33

We looked for her.

0:51:330:51:35

Which girl?

0:51:350:51:36

You tell me the ones you have taken,

0:51:360:51:38

I shall let you know when you land upon her.

0:51:380:51:40

And if you are mistaken and she is not with us?

0:51:400:51:44

Our search will continue and you and your brothers will still swing.

0:51:440:51:47

And the lives Barnaby will take.

0:51:470:51:49

Those innocent dead,

0:51:490:51:52

will they haunt you?

0:51:520:51:54

My life here.

0:51:540:51:55

The dead are something to which I have grown accustomed.

0:51:560:51:59

Innocent or blameworthy.

0:51:590:52:01

And yet, you believe one of ours known to you.

0:52:010:52:05

Perhaps I will list them for you.

0:52:060:52:08

Three serving maids,

0:52:090:52:11

we have done well from that particular constituency.

0:52:110:52:14

Two nurses. A shop girl.

0:52:150:52:17

Another, I believe, a whore seeking not to be so any longer.

0:52:180:52:22

And our last...

0:52:220:52:24

Well, she was due to be delivered this afternoon.

0:52:250:52:28

Have I named her?

0:52:290:52:31

Hmmm, Inspector?

0:52:310:52:33

Oh, there is one more.

0:52:350:52:36

You have described them all. There were but eight cargo dockets.

0:52:360:52:39

This one does not travel in the hold.

0:52:390:52:41

She is far too precious for that.

0:52:440:52:46

No, this one we keep close.

0:52:460:52:48

We nurture, Inspector.

0:52:500:52:52

For when she's grown just a few more years,

0:52:530:52:56

well, imagine the price we shall fetch for her.

0:52:560:52:58

Oh?

0:53:000:53:01

It was you.

0:53:030:53:04

The policeman on the boat that day.

0:53:060:53:08

Victor told me how you screamed for your girl...

0:53:090:53:12

You will tell me where you keep her!

0:53:120:53:14

I will not!

0:53:140:53:15

You wish to see brother Victor?

0:53:150:53:17

Come. You shall!

0:53:170:53:18

No!

0:53:220:53:23

No! You watch, you watch.

0:53:230:53:26

Where?!

0:53:260:53:27

There is not much provided in this world

0:53:340:53:36

which aids the course of justice.

0:53:360:53:38

So we take what we can, Miss Silver.

0:53:380:53:40

Do it, Sergeant!

0:53:400:53:41

No! Stop!

0:53:410:53:42

-You will tell me?

-I will!

-Hold your arm!

0:53:420:53:45

Victor!

0:53:450:53:47

You work well.

0:53:500:53:52

Help!

0:53:590:54:00

With me!

0:54:010:54:02

Gentle, Barnaby.

0:54:120:54:14

Where did you find her?

0:54:480:54:50

No, not from the boat.

0:54:500:54:52

Merely alone on a street corner.

0:54:520:54:54

Inspector, that day,

0:54:560:55:00

Victor reported seeing no other.

0:55:000:55:02

He said he thought it a miracle he was saved.

0:55:050:55:08

Perhaps, then, he lived on borrowed time.

0:55:080:55:11

He is dead, Miss Silver.

0:55:120:55:14

By the hand of the last girl he would have taken.

0:55:150:55:18

-Then in your cell, he...?

-Another.

0:55:180:55:20

Made to look like him.

0:55:200:55:21

No! You...you deceiver.

0:55:230:55:26

No, you killer! No!

0:55:260:55:29

No!

0:55:290:55:30

SHE CRIES

0:55:300:55:35

Hello.

0:55:460:55:47

I am Mr Reid.

0:55:490:55:51

'Dear Bennet.'

0:56:040:56:06

I wish that this letter finds you well and in good health.

0:56:060:56:10

I myself continue to improve

0:56:100:56:12

under the auspices of Mrs Reid's generous charity.

0:56:120:56:15

There are many things I regret in this life,

0:56:150:56:18

but it is the way I have behaved with you that brings me most shame.

0:56:180:56:21

SHE SIGHS

0:56:370:56:39

KNOCKING ON THE DOOR

0:56:500:56:52

And this is Miss Goren.

0:57:010:57:03

You'll be safe here.

0:57:030:57:05

She is a good friend to us.

0:57:050:57:07

SHE SIGHS

0:57:290:57:30

Come on.

0:57:300:57:31

-Morning.

-Morning.

0:57:490:57:51

-Sergeant.

-Mr Reid.

0:57:530:57:55

Chief Inspector Abberline?

0:57:590:58:01

Notable by his absence.

0:58:010:58:03

-That man, I never knew one that needed his pipes cleaned more.

-Hmmm.

0:58:030:58:06

KNOCKING ON DOOR

0:58:060:58:07

-Mr Reid, Sir.

-What is it, Sergeant?

0:58:070:58:09

-Ironmongers at Nelson.

-Wagstaff?

0:58:090:58:12

His creditors foreclose

0:58:120:58:13

and he has shut his doors with four of his customers inside.

0:58:130:58:16

Swears to murder them all, if the bailiffs come for him.

0:58:160:58:19

-Is he armed?

-Yes, Sir.

0:58:190:58:21

Well?
