Closed Casket Ripper Street

REID: There will be bad things said about me,

things that perhaps you will not recognise

as acts I could have carried out.

Not again, Father, do not leave me.

You stay close to your Samuel Drummond, understand?

Should you need to speak with me, place a candle in your window.

Nathaniel, is it?

This programme contains some violent scenes

-JACKSON:

-Those are bite marks, Reid. Flesh torn out with teeth.

We find him, his capture will bring us also his brother Augustus Dove.

This programme contains some scenes which some viewers may find upsetting

-DRAKE:

-Where'd he say?

-LONG SUSAN:

-Somewhere. It is... It is a whole system of tunnels.

Hide. I shall find you.

REID: Bennet!

THUD

Bennet!

Cut me open and eat out my heart...

but all you will find there is dust.

You fight! You fight!

No, my friend.

No more fight.

NO!

-Undertaker?

-Yes, sir?

A closed casket for this man, if you will.

# The Lord's my Shepherd I'll not want

# He makes me down to lie

# In pastures green

# He leadeth me

# The quiet waters by

# My soul He doth restore again

# And me to walk doth make

# Within the paths of righteousness

# E'en for His own name's sake

# Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale... #

SHE SOBS

Reid!

-CLICKS FINGERS

-Reid!

What do you say?

Three nights we've been down here.

This day, every uniform from the city

to the marshes is going to be at his graveside.

If we're quick about it, we can move freely.

Where?

Some place that ain't a sewer...

..where we can sleep...

eat.

-Then say.

-If I say, you won't come.

That thing's more conspicuous than you are. This way now.

Quick!

Come. The stage door gives out onto the lane-way.

HE HUMS, GLASS SMASHES

LATCH UNLOCKS

Here it is - food!

GUNSHOTS

You'd think you'd have the decency

to keep your murderous fingers off my lunch.

All the decayed ruins in this town and you bring me to hers!

I did warn you.

SHE SIGHS

It's a real nice place you got here, Hermione.

DOGS BARK AND SNARL

See, listen up, the beast lies dead.

All right.

I'm going to take your money, sir. And you, pay up.

And you. That's right. There's skill in such savagery.

That's savage, Chopper!

Who's next? Eh?

Who dare risk their animal against mine?

-What kind is he?

-The killing kind!

-Is that so?

-What do you want?

I want your dog.

Well, you can't have him.

What do you want? What are you doing with me?!

Please!

Good boy. Good boy. Come on. Come on.

You come with me, boy, you're mine now.

MATHILDA: "Why Inspector Reid resorted to such action

"is a question that may only be answered by the man himself.

"But the facts of the ghastly fate

"suffered by Mr Swift cannot be ignored.

"The recorded cause of death was dehydration,

"but that eventual end must, one imagines, have come

"as mighty relief for a once-eminent man

"who had lived for ten days

"in conditions which defy imagination.

"Ten days in which his body, in starving desperation,

"would have slowly turned

"to eating itself, before death came to spare him further suffering.

"Before that blessed hour, however,

"dehydration would have brought him to a mad delirium.

"In that state,

"he had chewed his own tongue to ribbons and shattered the bones

"of his fingers and wrists

"in repeated attempts to break down the bars of his prison.

"As for Mr Reid, the only man who might shed light on his own motives,

"his whereabouts remain unknown."

DOOR OPENS

There is more food, and water too, if you would like to wash.

And, believe me, you ought to do so, because never mind talk of you,

I expect the stink carries to Scotland Yard.

How do we know she may be trusted?

I imagine that depends on whether you intend to

become charming or not, Mr Reid.

You. Might I have a word, please?

WOOD CLATTERS

-Where is it you go, Mr Reid?

-To get eyes on my girl, if I can.

See if she has lit her candle to call for me.

I shan't expose you if I am taken, were that your chief concern.

DOOR SLAMS

When is it you are planning to leave? You are running, I imagine?

-We are.

-Then why are you in my playhouse?

All the ports are watched.

And besides, me and Susan, we're a family now.

LIGHTER CLICKS

You will not leave your son behind?

-No.

-And Mr Reid?

Pour two.

Reid, yeah... Look, his gruffness...

He's barely spoken two words since.

Since what? Since they came for him?

No.

Since we watched Drake die.

You were there when that man Abel Croker murdered him?

Don't believe everything you read in the newspapers.

Did he not, in fact, murder Inspector Drake?

-Was the man fitted for the crime?

-It's best you don't know.

Then that which Mr Reid is accused of,

what happened to Miss Swift out there's father?

Is that also a questionable version of events?

Is he... Is she, in fact, blameless?

Blameless?

Huh, never that.

Yeah, and to think when I read of her supposed passing, I...

I mean, I should be shot, but I...

I sorrowed for you.

-Oh, look, Mimi, darlin'...

-Don't call me "darling".

You call me "darling" one more time

and I will walk you to Leman Street myself.

I don't understand how you dare come to me.

Was there no-one, nowhere else?

Oh, we had a long list.

DOG BARKS OUTSIDE

TRAIN RUMBLES PAST

KNOCK ON DOOR

No candle?

Well, she has Drummond staying with her, right?

-Correct.

-Well...

And all the while, Augustus Dove...

..that brother of his, now hid in some safe place

while he makes certain the world is fully apprised

of the evil I have done. And I may not protest,

and I may not hold my girl and explain to her the...

the ghastly truth of her Uncle Bennet's passing.

Hey, Reid.

She knows that truth, she then knows danger,

and you're in no place to offer her your protection...

But then we must continue to cower, must we?

While the world is poisoned,

justice and truth are made Augustus Dove's whores.

What are we to do, then, Reid?

We go get our justice.

Or the heavens fall.

What will he do?

Huh, what can he do?

He chooses to fix his will to vengeance,

he will tear this world down about us.

What, you don't wish for justice?

You're asking the wrong woman entirely the wrong question.

Whatever... common factors shared by Miss Morton

and myself, I am today grateful for them,

but we cannot imagine ourselves protected by her.

So you believe her disloyal?

What motive does she have to lean to loyalty when she brings you to mind?

We do not act, you and I, whether it is Reid's fury,

or another's idle tongue.

We must act, is all I say.

Oh, and this great action you describe?

Our vases. I have a sense of where Croker may have hid them.

If that sense is accurate, there is not a soul left

-to stop me taking them.

-You don't think you're going to be seen on the dockside?

Yes. And I have thought on how that might be addressed.

I don't like it, Caitlin.

Look, I'll go, you just...

-You stay here where it's safe.

-No.

Because you must go to Connor, set eyes on our son if you can.

All that has passed in a house which he must call home.

We must see that he is well, Matthew.

And I will be watched for there.

Darling...

we are watched for everywhere, by everybody.

No. No, not everywhere. Not with such fixation anyway.

Besides, what is a theatre if not

a place in which we might transform ourselves?

Transform MYSELF.

What?

You be careful.

Cos I might fall in love with you all over again.

VENDORS SHOUT

This new chief of ours who comes here this morning,

he's a proper heavyweight from what they say, right?

At the K, when he ran Limehouse,

ten commissioner's recommendations in one year,

nigh on 50 nicker won from the Bow Street Fund

for bringing down an armed robbery single-handed.

That's over five years past, Frank. Where's he been since, eh?

And now he comes here to run this division?

From the sound of it, he's entirely the stripe of man

required for this sink in which we here currently find ourselves.

And I, for one, should be happy to walk alongside such a man.

-Aye, and fall on your arse, most like.

-Oi!

I've been robbed.

-Name?

-Why do you need that?

So we can come by and cook your dinner for you!

-It is a legal requirement, sir.

-Oh. It's Jenkins.

-And what is took from you, sir?

-My dog.

-Breed?

English bull terrier.

Oh? It's a fighting dog, is it?

It is not. It's my domestic companion.

He's pure breed, understand?

-£25 to replace.

-Some pet.

You see those scars about his hands, Drum?

I'd lay my pension on it - that's a pit bull stolen,

and he's a pit bull handler. Now, you just be glad

we here are currently exercised by graver matters

than a ballock-sack like you.

Mr Dove comes - the new chief with him.

Get out of here, Mr Jenkins.

TRAIN HORN TOOTS

Men of H Division, I expect you to show your new leader

all the loyalty you showed your last.

VENDORS SHOUT

NECK CRUNCHES

HE GROANS

Your men welcome you.

Portland stone pillars, Mr Shine.

Money's been spent...

or lost.

Dependent on your outlook.

What is that?

It is a telephone, Inspector Shine.

-You are Desk Sergeant...

-Drummond, sir.

I know what a telephone is, Drummond.

Of course.

Perhaps Mr Shine refers to your microreader, Sergeant?

Oh, erm, Mr Reid's files were photographed

and their size then shrunk by a ratio of 160-1.

Which Reid?

Hmm? This Reid?

His brain made wood and glass, is it?

Shall we move on?

-DOVE:

-Gentlemen.

You do not advertise the American's position?

That is your prerogative, Mr Shine.

No, it's not mine.

In truth, I do not overly care for such empirical provings.

Lead on, Drummond.

No wonder you suffer such strife in this division, sir.

This bang-up is not full enough. Not near, Mr Dove.

Example needs setting.

Then see it set, Mr Shine.

This was Bennet Drake's seat?

It was.

How soon a great man replaced.

Who was this man, Croker? This Whitechapel Golem.

A wharfinger. A nobody.

A nobody ended Bennet Drake?

Ate his flesh, four others besides.

That is not a nobody.

The file in front of you, all you need know on Mr Reid.

These charges, justifiable homicide -

-truthful or cooked?

-It is all there, Inspector.

Ed Reid...

..called for my death once...

..as I fought Bennet Drake for the Lafone Cup.

Drake was base sergeant then, and Reid ordered him to it.

-To my finishing, Mr Dove.

-But Mr Drake disobeyed him.

It was widely spoke of, for many years after.

He saved your life, Mr Shine.

As I understand it, the doctors have passed you fit, Inspector.

Once I had threatened to burn down their homes if they did not.

Well, I expect you to be well enough for your duties here,

chief amongst which the capture of these fugitives.

So I understand it, sir.

For why is it you believe I have accepted your invitation back here?

Bringing this man...

..to his retribution, well...

that will be the highest of high days.

I have coffee and hot rolls.

Thank you, Miss Morton.

I hope you will forgive me my poor manners.

Oh, come, Mr Reid. I've heard worse.

And you are hardly a scaffolder.

You had left this place, had you not?

Why is it you come back here, Miss Morton?

I'm happy here.

Happier than I am anywhere else, at least.

You cannot settle over west?

It is... It's diverting, for a while.

When I'm there, I think of here.

VENDORS SHOUT

You don't think I can deal with that turd up top?

Where's our boy, Rose?

Wouldn't you like to know?

Tell me where you're hid, I'll tell you where he is likewise.

You're going to tell me now, goddamn it.

GUN COCKS

You think I give two hoots to be made dead?

I do not.

There's twice a day it's only weariness stops me doing it myself.

GUN UNCOCKS

Where do you go? I see your life's all packed away.

They will have me at Blackpool for a season.

-And then?

-I do not care. Somewhere.

Where's my son, Rose?

What is your name?

My name's Matthew Judge.

What is hers?

It's Caitlin.

And despite what you believe,

she's your friend, and she loves you.

As do I, Rose.

And how we understand the time between then and now,

I have no clue, but it's true, Rose - you are loved.

Where's Connor?

I have given him away.

Goddamn it! To who?

-Rose, to who?

-To a life that you...

will not prise him from.

They are papers.

Connor Judge is now the ward of Augustus Dove.

Rose, where is he? I beg you!

Hackney, he has said, but I do not know where

and I do not wish to know neither.

Will you leave me, please, Captain?

CARRIAGE DOOR OPENS

CHURCH BELL TOLLS

I am Chudleigh.

He will be glad for more permanent company, I believe.

He grows restless.

It's not company he needs, it's order.

Or has the moral discipline I was brought to teach you

as a foul-mouthed, mudlarking boy

been forgot now you are a frock-coated gentleman?

No, of course not, Miss Chudleigh.

Now see, he comes to greet you himself.

Well, Connor.

Do you have a word of greeting for your new governess?

Hear me, out the way! Police coming through! Move!

Make way!

His name is Nathaniel. A nudge two yards in height.

He'll be rough and dirty,

but if you see him, you treat him kind.

And, Constable, this is not police business.

-This is my own affair, you understand?

-Yes, Mr Dove.

Mr Dove thinks he can set the hour of the world

by his own pocket watch,

surveying the docks like the heir Abel Croker

might have wished him to be.

And he has your son.

He knows you will not leave without him.

-Cannot but try to retake him.

-He's correct on both counts.

But he does not have all within his control, however.

He does not take his private guard to the docks for his health...

-..nor indeed to seek our vases.

-You mean he looks for Nathaniel?

He must hunt him himself.

Because if that man kills again,

if he even speaks, Dove himself will fall.

All I have done, what you and I did to your father -

perhaps I am as black of heart

as Augustus Dove would have the world believe,

but, Bennet Drake, my friend, was not.

There never was a more dedicated or honest soul.

God knows, I used that integrity to my own ends but, before I die,

I will see his voice given back to him.

-JACKSON:

-Then we need to trap the beast which killed him.

MEN SHOUT

What makes you so certain he hides in the Jewish Quarter?

Nathaniel has lost everything, remember.

Whatever kind of father the man Croker was to him,

he cannot simply call on his brother to ask for a bed.

He must wait for that brother to find him.

-He cannot stray too far, therefore.

-And like any human male...

Any mammal, any wolf cub...

..he may seek comfort in where he found it before.

Amongst the people he's preyed on.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Last three days, a man, early 30s.

Don't talk much, but when he does, it's English.

No stranger, will know his way about.

-Yeah, this man, I had him thrown out.

-Why?

No dogs.

DOOR OPENS

Lamb chops - costly eating to give away to an animal.

Is he fattening it up?

-What breed?

-Bull terrier.

-A brute of a thing.

-Fight dog?

A way to raise funds, certainly.

But where is he fighting it?

What is this? Church of the Latter Day Saints.

Do you think it's code?

Well, a street crier would be unwise.

The whereabouts of their match-ups must be communicated somehow.

Last I knew, there were no Mormons setting up church in Whitechapel.

See there, tending to his flock.

Peace be upon you.

And upon you, brother. Do you wish to give thanks?

-We do.

-Cassock or congregation?

Fight or play?

Play.

SNARLING

Bless you, brother!

Lovely. All right?

All right, let's get this started!

DOG SNARLS

Fear not, Abel, fear not. We ain't here to watch them suffer.

FIGHT DOG HOWLS

SNARLING

Get in there!

-DOGS YELP

-Oi! Oi!

What you doing?

Oi, you!

You have some brass to come here, to my kingdom, with that animal.

A dog I raised!

Raised for violence? Raised for blood?

That dog was born to such.

So you give him up now! Give him up!

-DOG GROWLS

-As you wish. Go!

Argh! Get him off!

Get him off!

AGONISED CRIES

Argh!

-HE WHISTLES

-Abel.

Argh! Get off, get off!

DOGS BARK

Watch out, watch out!

BARKING AND SHOUTING CONTINUES

-You! Tell what has happened here!

-Reid! I see him!

Get after him, then!

-We're going to lose him.

-We must not!

GUNSHOT

-DOG WHIMPERS

-Come on, boy! Come on!

Come on, boy!

Who is it brews the coffee here?

That'd be Sergeant Drummond, sir.

We leave all matters domestic to him.

It's good drinking, Sergeant Drummond.

Thank you, sir.

Is it you who, instead of his own soft bed,

warms the stone hearth of Miss Mathilda Reid?

Yeah, it is, Mr Shine. Sleeps like a dog there.

Well, dogs are loyal, Mr...?

Thatcher. DS, sir.

Mr Drummond.

Would you be so kind as to introduce me to the young lady?

I would feel it an honour to lay my eyes upon her.

Of course, sir.

The smell of this town, Drummond.

I do not think I could mistake it though I lived to be 500.

It is shit, bad gin and dead flowers.

Miss Reid. I am to introduce you to Inspector Shine.

I am pleased to make your acquaintance, Mr Shine.

Miss Reid.

Will you excuse me, Inspector Shine?

You know, your news travelled to Ireland, where I worked at the time.

Forgive me. Which news?

Your resurrection.

Sir, ought we not to...?

No, we ought not, Drummond. I share the experience, see?

Of all having thought me gone...

only to be restored.

Who else may say that? Save yourself and myself.

Man may stop and wonder if perhaps we are kin,

you and I.

You should know it is me now that hunts your pappy.

-Drum?

-I wish you only to know this -

whatever may pass...

..you will always have a defender in Jedediah Shine.

Life is precious, Miss.

Particularly that which is given twice.

Good day, Miss Reid.

Do you think we were seen?

An American shooting his pistol off in broad daylight?

Who would remark on such a thing(?)

Hey! He's the animal we hunt, what the hell was I supposed to do?

Not kill him, for one. His use to us dead is exactly nil.

That man Nathaniel, what... What is it that he hunts?

The chaos back there, the unleashed fighting dogs,

he is releasing them, not fighting them.

-An act of liberation, not violence.

-From a violent man.

Dogs ain't just dogs to Nathaniel.

What, then? His wolf brothers who he now seeks to free?

An act of compassion from a man who tore my friend's throat from him.

I hear Susan say he's more of a man-child than a monster.

He may have developed an affection for her. And she for him.

-I believe.

-So this compassion he has for the dogs,

we must assume he will persevere with these acts.

Unless his brother may lay hands on him and stop him.

Then let's hope he does not trap him once more.

-And more Methodist pit fights then?

-Yes, until we have him, yes.

And perhaps Miss Swift may use their mutual affection

and turn him to our own ends.

It is a great risk you take for a man who let you down so.

Who betrayed me, with you.

Then you see my argument.

Why not turn us out to the streets?

He is very charming, your man.

He is.

-He's also an idiot.

-Mm!

But if in this life we do not trust our instinct as to who is

a good person, then I think we might be ruined.

It's Hackney, is it not, where, according to Rose Drake,

this Mr Dove now resides?

It is.

Now that it lives again,

I must re-register my theatre here for its purpose.

I do so via a young man called Eric at the Land Registry

on Lincoln's Inn Fields.

Mr Dove, good man of the law that he is,

must also register his new domicile for gas, waterworks, the like.

Dear Eric is a little bit in love with me, I think.

He makes a household there.

And will be advertising for staff, I imagine.

Do you know, Miss Morton,

we have far too much in common not to be friends.

DOGS BARK

Pit fight up the old wool works.

Word is the dogs were released.

They're now scattered throughout Whitechapel.

Think you're immune to arrest, Jenkins?

Perhaps I am.

The ruckus which saw these dogs set loose.

Your men here in attendance.

In a pursuit all their own.

A pursuit of the wretch who thieved my dog, Chopper.

-You're not so spry now!

-Hello, Mr Jenkins.

That is valuable intelligence and no mistake.

Don't I know it.

Then perhaps you will allow us to show you our gratitude.

By all means, Inspector.

Here. Have this.

HE BREATHES HEAVILY

Higher.

GROANING

-Higher...

-ROPE CREAKS

-STRAINED:

-What you doing?

-Higher...

GROANING CONTINUES

Now, Mr Jenkins.

You dance there on your tippy-toes for an hour or four,

while we here establish the truth of your snitching on Edmund Reid.

With me, Sergeant Thatcher.

Yes, sir, Mr Shine.

CELL DOOR SLAMS

Inspector Shine, sir.

I think you might want to come and see this.

Right, come on...

Mr Thatcher, can you bring to mind any man of these parts

who might have need for a .45 cartridge?

Yeah, I can, Inspector.

That'll be Captain Jackson.

Lunch, I think.

Right.

Mr Drake not allow you your lunch, then?

MOUTH FULL: Not such a lunch as this.

No, he, erm... He felt... Well, he and Mr Dove felt

that we here who police these streets

must be seen to work as hard as them who must

live on them, and not place ourselves above them in any way.

But we are above them, son. They must follow the law.

We... We ARE the law.

There is no equality in that fact.

Neither ought there to be.

Yeah. Yes, yes, Inspector.

He and his American associate

do not go around letting off firecrackers

without good reason.

These pit fights, they have significance for them.

Well, that being the case, this one today...

..might not be the only such fight they might attend.

My, you are a quick fellow, Detective.

What else does that quick wit of yours ponder?

Our new friend, Jenkins.

-He who you've got now strung up in our cells.

-Indeed.

He might be set to the organising of another such fight.

The coordinates of which to be described

a little bit differently to Mr Reid and Captain Jackson.

And there where there was in fact no pit fight...

There might instead be ourselves, lying in wait.

It is a happy thing you are a man of foresight.

Is it not?

Please, sirs. Unchain me.

I am not an evil man.

HE SCREAMS

Were I a dog, bred for profit, would you make such a claim?

No... I mean, yes, yes.

I am an evil man, I am an evil man!

-Then do you say I am a dog?

-Mr Shine...

my pardon. A thousand pardons!

Ought I to release you?

I don't know, sir. That is for you to say.

If I were to, would you do my bidding?

-MUFFLED:

-Forever.

Forever more, forever more!

Forever more.

Then do what you do best, and, by way of example,

see another pit fight arranged and broadcast.

Take him down.

RELIEVED GASP

PANTING

Sign here.

And you, Frank.

He is meticulous, our desk sergeant.

Oh, he is that.

And more besides.

Right!

Be on your way now, Mr Jenkins.

Don't be forgetting our love for you, Mr Jenkins.

What, Drum?

What would you prefer, 'Tilda - that he were caught and returned?

To make his case, I mean. Claim his innocence.

-Or that he were never caught?

-And never returned?

I cannot say, but I do not think it only the law which motivates

Mr Shine's pursuit of him.

-No.

-He was right, however.

What he said about resurrection.

Father said it, too, that I was born to him twice.

And now I am perhaps lost to him twice.

They set a trap for him.

Shine and Frank Thatcher.

Drum? What is it?

Please, will you say?

He is my father.

There! Your Mormons again.

Captain, find the coordinates of this next pit fight.

-And where is it you go?

-To see my girl.

Have you lost your mind? If you're taken...

Then I am taken.

But she lit a candle for me last night, so I must go to her.

You go, Mr Reid.

Do not sling your accusations at me.

I know how he feels is all.

So you go to Hackney, do you?

I know where our son is. I must go.

-Mathilda, my girl.

-You were watching.

I have been every night I could.

You are well, my darling? Is there any trouble?

Are you threatened?

No, Father. I am well.

Samuel Drummond keeps a weather eye.

-He stops the night at our home?

-He does.

Well, Mathilda, you lit your candle.

I did.

Father, Mr Swift...?

Yes, I...

Mathilda, please, we need space and freedom and time for such talk.

No. It is not so much Mr Swift

I wish to speak of, but the cellar, Father.

Why would you put him there? Why?

The cellar that was once my home?

Mathilda, please. It had the force of logic at the time.

We will in due course talk on it and I will explain all,

but for now, please, is there anything you need to tell me?

They plan for your capture.

This is Mr Dove? It is he who plans it?

-No, it is not.

-Then who?

There is a new man sits in Uncle Bennet's office.

He came to talk to me.

-What is his name?

-He is named Shine.

You're certain?

Jedediah Shine?

Has he threatened you?

No, Father. Quite the reverse, in fact.

Never, ever let yourself be alone with him. Do you understand?

-Do you understand?!

-Yes, I understand.

Now, what is his strategy?

Mathilda, please, his strategy?

HE KNOCKS ON BOARD

Peace be with you, brother.

And you.

Gather round, gather round!

All those seeking employment, the household has need

for a footman, a cook and two maids.

All applicants are to form a line and hand their credentials in here.

Footman, is it?

He has a governess.

Well, governesses can be dissuaded with firearms.

You have not seen this woman.

She has the look of someone who has sent Satan himself back to hell.

Besides, there is a bodyguard also. Two uniformed men.

Whitechapel men?

-H Division?

-No, A.

It's Westminster.

Even they are not immune to a bullet shot from a firearm.

I suspect it may come to that.

Well, you took your sweet time.

-Any longer, we'd have missed our window. There's another pit fight scheduled...

-I know.

It is upon the waste ground beyond the charcoal works.

What? How? I only just came from the man who was...

Never mind. But I have found opportunity also.

They construct this animal fight to draw us out,

but we shall see their claws pulled from them first.

HE WHISTLES

DS Thatcher.

My heart has sorely missed you, son.

As I have it, Sergeant, you are half in love with your new inspector.

Sergeant Thatcher, the unreliable stripe of copper, is he?

Where the hell is he, Drummond? You, men, with me.

We must move now! Or the chance to trap Reid is...

-SHOUTING AND LAUGHTER

-What's that noise?

SHOUTING AND LAUGHTER CONTINUE

-MAN:

-It's not that cold out here, Thatcher. Is it always that small?

-MAN:

-Lovely bunch of flowers!

LAUGHTER AND JEERING CONTINUES

-MAN:

-I feel sorry for the horse!

Are you out there, Ed Reid?

HUBBUB SUBSIDES

I know you too vain a man not to now be watching your own acts.

I am fierce glad to be here.

Fierce glad to know you yet a worthy antagonist!

I have thirsted long and hard...

for this fight!

I'm in your house, my feet under your table,

and I will not be leaving till I have looked you in the eye...

..and then I'm going to paint these streets...

with your blood!

All men, every address within 100 yards.

Tear 'em apart.

Do it now!

Tear them apart! Tear them apart!

I want him found, now!

We best run, I imagine.

WHISTLE BLASTS

DOG WHIMPERS

Shh, it's going to be all right.

DOG WHINES

Shh. Forgive me, Abel.

BONES CRUNCH

Shh...

WHISTLES BLAST

INDISTINCT SHOUTS

Edmund Reid did evil.

He took you from me!

He kept me safe!

Do you intend to make another victim?

What horseplay is this?

What did Dove's brother do?

Reid believed him to have been the killer.

No!
