0:00:02 > 0:00:05This programme contains prolonged violent scenes, very strong language

0:00:05 > 0:00:07and some scenes which some viewers may find upsetting.

0:00:07 > 0:00:09- SHINE:- Who was this man Croker?

0:00:09 > 0:00:12A wharfinger, a nobody.

0:00:12 > 0:00:14A nobody ended Bennet Drake?

0:00:14 > 0:00:16That is not a nobody.

0:00:18 > 0:00:20- MATHILDA:- Father, Mr Swift.

0:00:20 > 0:00:23Why would you put him there, in the cellar that was once my home?

0:00:23 > 0:00:24Drum?

0:00:24 > 0:00:28They set a trap for him, Shine and Frank Thatcher.

0:00:28 > 0:00:30REID: They construct this animal fight to draw us out,

0:00:30 > 0:00:33but we shall see Shine's claws pulled from him first.

0:00:33 > 0:00:34DS Thatcher.

0:00:34 > 0:00:37CROWD JEERS

0:00:37 > 0:00:40- CROWD:- Reid! Reid! Reid! - WHISTLE BLOWS

0:00:40 > 0:00:42Reid! Reid! Reid!

0:00:42 > 0:00:44I want him found - now!

0:00:47 > 0:00:50TRAIN PASSES OUTSIDE

0:01:47 > 0:01:49- When?- This morning.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53Or night before, perhaps.

0:01:53 > 0:01:57We said fresh. This man is in rigor.

0:01:57 > 0:01:58Look, do you want him or not?

0:01:58 > 0:01:59Will he serve?

0:02:00 > 0:02:02Well, look at him. He's...he's rigid.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04Can he be made to serve?

0:02:08 > 0:02:09< What do you want it for?

0:02:55 > 0:02:56Mm-mm.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02All will be well, Myrtle.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05Only do as you've promised, no more.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07Of course, my love.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10Promise me you will be vigilant. Take no risks.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16I will be the meekest man you ever did see.

0:03:28 > 0:03:32Last stop, calling Hackney Marshes, ladies and gentlemen.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50CLOCK CHIMES

0:03:52 > 0:03:54First day, is it?

0:03:54 > 0:03:57Handyman, to work about the house.

0:03:57 > 0:03:58Name?

0:03:59 > 0:04:02Waters, Leonard.

0:04:04 > 0:04:05In you go.

0:04:14 > 0:04:18You may think me ignorant, Drum, but I ain't no imbecile.

0:04:18 > 0:04:19You and your Mathilda,

0:04:19 > 0:04:21her hand on your Thomas,

0:04:21 > 0:04:22tugging your loyalty from you,

0:04:22 > 0:04:26plotting how best we here might be embarrassed.

0:04:28 > 0:04:29Come on, then.

0:04:31 > 0:04:32- Aah! UNIFORM AND CID:- Oh!

0:04:32 > 0:04:35When you say WE, Frank, is it, in fact, YOU you talk of?

0:04:35 > 0:04:38Are your knackers still chafed, are they, from that pony's backside?

0:04:38 > 0:04:40THATCHER YELLS, BOTH GROAN

0:04:44 > 0:04:47- SHINE:- Thatcher?

0:04:47 > 0:04:48DRUMMOND GROANS Aah!

0:04:52 > 0:04:54What horseplay is this?

0:04:54 > 0:04:58We have urgent business to go about and you two stop for a cuddle.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01Thatcher, explain yourself.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04The whole world knows it's this shandygaff who's blown on our plans.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07You'd best do a better job of proving that with your words than your fists.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09- THATCHER ROARS SHINE:- No, Thatcher.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12I mean explain to me how you have allowed this fight to develop.

0:05:12 > 0:05:16As I say, Inspector, it's this wet-soaped clown!

0:05:16 > 0:05:20No, Sergeant. I know WHY you might hope to batter the man.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23I am more concerned that you have found yourself unable.

0:05:27 > 0:05:31You see, his reach is longer than yours

0:05:31 > 0:05:33and he is a sight more calculating.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36Now, if you are to fight such a man,

0:05:36 > 0:05:38you must know before you begin that you will win.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42- Oh! - OFFICER:- Ooh!

0:05:42 > 0:05:44I do that by way of demonstration

0:05:44 > 0:05:48of how you might in future overcome your disadvantages.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51DRUMMOND COUGHS

0:05:51 > 0:05:54But you do not mind, do you, Sergeant Drum?

0:05:54 > 0:05:57What's a pair of sore knackers between comrades?

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Or are we not comrades no more?

0:06:02 > 0:06:04We are, Mr Shine.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06And I'm glad to hear it.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11Thatcher, you are to repeat such accusations in the future,

0:06:11 > 0:06:13you will do so with articles of proof.

0:06:15 > 0:06:16Drummond...

0:06:17 > 0:06:19DRUMMOND GROANS

0:06:19 > 0:06:22..you are to deny them,

0:06:22 > 0:06:24you best find men who believe such denials.

0:06:26 > 0:06:30Now, I am to Hackney, to tell Mr Dove how we are made monkeys of.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47- CHUDLEIGH:- When Mr Dove was a boy,

0:06:47 > 0:06:51I made sure he sat for breakfast at the same time each morning.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53This boy must do likewise.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55He cannot learn punctuality otherwise,

0:06:55 > 0:06:59and if he does not learn punctuality, he cannot learn discipline.

0:06:59 > 0:07:00Yes, Miss.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05- You are Waters?- Yes, ma'am.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07Why do you call me "Ma'am"? I'm not married.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10"Miss Chudleigh" will serve.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15As you prefer, Miss.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17You make the fire for the master's study?

0:07:18 > 0:07:20I do.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22Then be sure to knock.

0:07:30 > 0:07:34DOVE AND SHINE TALK

0:07:34 > 0:07:37- DOVE:- Check the brothels in case the woman Hart returns to her former work.

0:07:40 > 0:07:41- DOVE:- Come.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Coal for the fire, Mr Dove.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Of course. Mr Waters, is it not? - It is, sir.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54- DOVE:- Well, don't let us stop you.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01And they had stripped Sergeant Thatcher?

0:08:01 > 0:08:03All but for that flashman's hat he sports

0:08:03 > 0:08:05and the carnations in his gob.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08Who can say why they love Ed Reid?

0:08:08 > 0:08:12Although it must be said - it makes good copy.

0:08:12 > 0:08:16I'd have you make better, Inspector, and catch him.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19You have the town rousted?

0:08:19 > 0:08:22The brothels, in case the woman Hart returns to her former work?

0:08:22 > 0:08:23Oh, yes, Mr Dove.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27All gaming houses for word of the American.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Mr Dove, do you doubt my vigour?

0:08:29 > 0:08:31Of course not, Inspector.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34Then perhaps you will answer me something.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37- If I can.- These dogfights.

0:08:37 > 0:08:42Reid and Jackson emerge from wherever they are hid for dogfights.

0:08:42 > 0:08:43So I understand.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46Or, rather, one particular fight-dog

0:08:46 > 0:08:50and one particular man who has thieved that fight-dog.

0:08:52 > 0:08:57Why does Edmund Reid have such an itch in his britches

0:08:57 > 0:08:59that he breaks cover to trap him?

0:09:00 > 0:09:03SCUTTLE SCRAPES

0:09:03 > 0:09:04Thank you, Waters.

0:09:06 > 0:09:07RATTLING

0:09:09 > 0:09:10DOOR OPENS

0:09:10 > 0:09:12DOOR CLOSES

0:09:14 > 0:09:16THEY TALK INSIDE

0:09:17 > 0:09:18TOY CLINKS

0:09:20 > 0:09:23Hush, Connor. I am a friend.

0:09:23 > 0:09:24- DOVE:- Go on.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26- SHINE:- Whereas I now understand it,

0:09:26 > 0:09:29Reid had his own theories on this cannibal killer.

0:09:29 > 0:09:34He disagrees it was this man Croker killed those men.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36Bennet Drake also.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42He would be misguided in that belief, however.

0:09:42 > 0:09:47Seems he clings to it with some determination, however.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54Desk Sergeant Drummond,

0:09:54 > 0:09:56I'd bet my liver it is he who forewarned Reid.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59You have no proof of such betrayal?

0:10:00 > 0:10:02Well, then, you leave him in peace.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05That station house needs balance and stability,

0:10:05 > 0:10:06not fear and retribution.

0:10:10 > 0:10:11As you wish, Mr Dove.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17Good day to you, sir.

0:10:17 > 0:10:18Inspector Shine.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25- Miss Chudleigh?- Yes, Mr Dove.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27Oh! To your room!

0:10:27 > 0:10:31- Your guardian and father must have peace for his work. - Wait, Miss Chudleigh.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34I have business this morning in a place that...

0:10:34 > 0:10:38were I still a small boy, well, it would fill me with wonder.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41See him readied, if you please. The two of you will join me.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43Yes, Mr Dove.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49"Mr Edmund Reid may have cause to reflect

0:10:49 > 0:10:51"on whether, as H Division's head man,

0:10:51 > 0:10:54"he ever knew the popularity he now does

0:10:54 > 0:10:56"as its most urgent quarry."

0:10:56 > 0:10:59- The people are fickle. - Oh, they are that.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01It seems you too are also on the road to redemption.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03Listen to this.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06"More enquiring minds might also ask themselves the question

0:11:06 > 0:11:10"of what need and purpose it is now sees Miss Hart,

0:11:10 > 0:11:13"a woman who once gave great civic care to her community,

0:11:13 > 0:11:16"now united with Mr Reid in their fugitive status."

0:11:16 > 0:11:18- This is Miss Castello's pen? - She herself.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20What is it irks you, Mr Judge?

0:11:20 > 0:11:23Is it that she does not even once make mention of your notoriety?

0:11:23 > 0:11:25Not as if she never once met me.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27Perhaps you are easily forgot?

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Perhaps she does not know which name to call you.

0:11:30 > 0:11:34Oh, aren't you all so cute? Maybe I ought to hand you in myself.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37You know, broker an amnesty, live in peace, ALONE.

0:11:37 > 0:11:41Still, I am entirely uncertain how to respond to YOUR notoriety.

0:11:41 > 0:11:45- What am I to make of your bizarre requests?- You have them?

0:11:47 > 0:11:48The falsies?

0:11:48 > 0:11:50A healthy selection.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54Yes, but to what end?

0:11:54 > 0:11:55Pulling the tiger's tail.

0:11:57 > 0:12:01- This is the first step, darling. - No, not good enough. Please.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03Will one of you explain?

0:12:13 > 0:12:15Your latest victim?

0:12:15 > 0:12:17Natural causes, Miss Morton.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19Let me rephrase that. Have you killed him?

0:12:19 > 0:12:21I said we should have waited till she'd gone home.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24Excuse me. I will not be spoken of as if I am some irksome landlady.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26If we wait any longer, this stiff's going to be beyond purpose.

0:12:26 > 0:12:27And what purpose that?

0:12:27 > 0:12:30They wish to make a scandal, Miss Morton.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33Show Augustus Dove the limits of his control.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36- And for that you require dental... - We require TEETH.

0:12:36 > 0:12:37Oh!

0:12:37 > 0:12:41Good God. Do you intend to make another victim?

0:12:41 > 0:12:43We need to break the mortis first.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50JACKSON GROANS

0:12:50 > 0:12:51CRUNCHING

0:12:55 > 0:12:56OK, move around one.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02Could be a child's parlour game.

0:13:06 > 0:13:07CRUNCHING

0:13:09 > 0:13:11All right. Do you have them?

0:13:11 > 0:13:14- REID:- I believe the records had had their uses when I took them.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16I hadn't anticipated imitation, however.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24Going to have to screw down hard, prize the flesh away.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26- How charming. - Yes.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29Men's work, I believe. Shall we?

0:13:29 > 0:13:30Let us.

0:14:11 > 0:14:13MEN SHOUT

0:14:13 > 0:14:14DOG BARKS

0:14:16 > 0:14:17I will stop just a moment or two.

0:14:19 > 0:14:20Then we shall be on our way.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38Mr Dove.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41Appointments are there to be made.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43But you, it seems, feel yourself above

0:14:43 > 0:14:46the simple act of a knock upon a door.

0:14:47 > 0:14:48Fugitives from justice

0:14:48 > 0:14:51conduct themselves with more refinement, do they?

0:14:51 > 0:14:53Mr Dove, surely you understand.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56I hear that the former Police Detective Edmund Reid

0:14:56 > 0:14:59is cheered to the skies as he runs through our streets.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02Well, that is an event worthy of report, in my opinion.

0:15:02 > 0:15:03And yet, Miss Castello,

0:15:03 > 0:15:05but three editions past, you penned the report,

0:15:05 > 0:15:09true facts of how THIS man, whose reputation you now burnish,

0:15:09 > 0:15:12most likely placed a defenceless old man in an underground dungeon

0:15:12 > 0:15:14and left him there to starve and rot,

0:15:14 > 0:15:18and then, here today, you make as if he might in fact be a folk hero.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21Our readers are fickle, sir, and it is they who pay my wages.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23No!

0:15:23 > 0:15:26This neighbourhood, the people require simple paradigms,

0:15:26 > 0:15:29good, bad, justice, villainy.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31These ideas become confused in their heads,

0:15:31 > 0:15:33well, the social fabric of these streets

0:15:33 > 0:15:36is sewn with a brittle thread.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39That thread breaks, the carapace of civility falls away with it

0:15:39 > 0:15:41and what will be left but naked savagery?

0:15:41 > 0:15:44Edmund Reid did evil.

0:15:44 > 0:15:48Long Susan Hart did evil. Captain Homer Jackson likewise.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54If you wish to remain friend to the police...

0:15:54 > 0:15:56that is the story you ought to tell.

0:15:56 > 0:15:59Do you threaten me, Mr Dove?

0:16:00 > 0:16:03Well, you interpret it how you wish, Miss Castello.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06But you see it done.

0:16:12 > 0:16:13BIRDS TWEET

0:16:13 > 0:16:15PUPPY BARKS

0:16:20 > 0:16:22See how they love to play, Connor?

0:16:23 > 0:16:25CONNOR LAUGHS

0:16:25 > 0:16:27PUPPY BARKS

0:16:32 > 0:16:34I fear only that the boy will become spoiled, sir.

0:16:36 > 0:16:38There is nothing spoiling in joy, Miss Chudleigh.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41All young boys need a dog.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47Do you know, Connor, when I was only a little older than you are now,

0:16:47 > 0:16:49I lost my mother and was alone.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52But then I was found and cared for

0:16:52 > 0:16:54by a man who showed me that a way may be made

0:16:54 > 0:16:56from the lonely boy I was,

0:16:56 > 0:16:58to a new life - a better life.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04Connor, I intend to be that man for you.

0:17:05 > 0:17:06You have my oath on it.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10Until you yourself are become a man,

0:17:10 > 0:17:12it will be my greatest endeavour

0:17:12 > 0:17:14to see you do not lack for a single thing.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19I will be a father to you.

0:17:23 > 0:17:27You choose your favourite, Connor, then we shall bring it home.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34I thought to settle your invoice in cash, Mr Sparks.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36We are grateful, Mr Dove.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38As am I for your efforts.

0:17:38 > 0:17:39The beasts were not too hard to find?

0:17:39 > 0:17:42Sir. This is Jamrach's.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45There is not a creature alive that we here cannot locate for you.

0:17:45 > 0:17:47And the other conditions we agreed?

0:17:47 > 0:17:50Full anonymity, sir, as promised.

0:18:05 > 0:18:06Thatcher.

0:18:06 > 0:18:09Inspector. My apologies, sir.

0:18:09 > 0:18:11A snitch reports, sir, and I thought his intelligence worth a coin.

0:18:11 > 0:18:13That being?

0:18:13 > 0:18:15Captain Jackson. He and Miss Hart.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18I mean, it's not as if she was the sole focus

0:18:18 > 0:18:19of his ardour down the years.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22If we roust each and every twat that man has inspected,

0:18:22 > 0:18:23the pair of us will be old and grey.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26Yes, sir. I know, sir. But there was one other

0:18:26 > 0:18:28who, word had it, he stayed loyal to.

0:18:28 > 0:18:32Only for a little while, but the talk was that she kept him in order.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35Look, the pair of them were tight till Miss Susan got locked down and then he made his choice.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37You have paid a snitch for old gossip, Thatcher?

0:18:37 > 0:18:39No, sir, I paid him because he brought word

0:18:39 > 0:18:41that this other is once more in Whitechapel.

0:18:43 > 0:18:44Who this lady?

0:18:44 > 0:18:48Well-to-do. Fine silk, fine hair, fine carriage, you know.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51- Slum tourist?- Yeah, of a kind.

0:18:51 > 0:18:53What kind?

0:18:53 > 0:18:56The dramatic, sir. Playhouses.

0:19:04 > 0:19:05Your games are ended, then?

0:19:07 > 0:19:08KNOCKING AT DOOR

0:19:09 > 0:19:11Are you expecting visitors, Mimi?

0:19:11 > 0:19:15- THATCHER:- Oi, Police! You will open these doors!

0:19:15 > 0:19:16In there!

0:19:18 > 0:19:21- KNOCKING AT DOOR THATCHER:- Open! Open up, I say! >

0:19:24 > 0:19:25Police! >

0:19:27 > 0:19:28Open this door! >

0:19:28 > 0:19:30Quick, up into the lighting rigs.

0:19:33 > 0:19:34- Miss Morton?- Yes.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38We've come for a show, lady.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41One man here, other stage door.

0:19:46 > 0:19:47Watch your step.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51- There are lights?- There are.

0:19:53 > 0:19:54SWITCHES CLICK

0:19:57 > 0:20:01- Ah... Look at that, a theatre.- Hm.

0:20:01 > 0:20:05So, it is the case that you and Captain Jackson once stepped out?

0:20:05 > 0:20:07Stepped out?

0:20:07 > 0:20:10Hm, that's a delicate phrase for a man in a velvet collar.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13Well, we know you theatricals, how you like to use words

0:20:13 > 0:20:16to describe a thing that ain't actually the thing itself.

0:20:16 > 0:20:17Oh, you mean a simile?

0:20:17 > 0:20:20Although "stepped out" is perhaps more of a metaphor.

0:20:20 > 0:20:23Perhaps you'd best describe the thing itself?

0:20:23 > 0:20:27All right, then, let me ask you this...

0:20:27 > 0:20:29- Were you...- Mm-hm?

0:20:29 > 0:20:32..and the man most widely known as Homer Jackson

0:20:32 > 0:20:34once joined by cock and cunny?

0:20:34 > 0:20:37Oh! Oh, so much clearer.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40Language is so much better for an accurate expression, I find.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42- Well, then, Miss. Were you?- Yes.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45My God, that is a loathsome hat.

0:20:48 > 0:20:49When did contact cease?

0:20:49 > 0:20:52When he chose to join that cock to his wife's cunny instead.

0:20:56 > 0:21:00You got friends visiting, Miss Morton?

0:21:00 > 0:21:03Do you see us ready to admit audiences yet?

0:21:03 > 0:21:04No?

0:21:04 > 0:21:07That is because there is a renovation taking place

0:21:07 > 0:21:09and because I have yet to establish for myself

0:21:09 > 0:21:11how best a collapsing wall may be buttressed

0:21:11 > 0:21:13and my plastering is not all I'd wish it to be.

0:21:13 > 0:21:15I must employ workmen

0:21:15 > 0:21:18and workmen, not unlike policemen, are fond of tea and biscuits.

0:21:19 > 0:21:22It's not the only items we police have a liking for.

0:21:30 > 0:21:31SLAP

0:21:31 > 0:21:33WHISPERS: Wait, wait, wait, wait.

0:21:35 > 0:21:37You know, Miss Morton,

0:21:37 > 0:21:40you grow ever more fetching to my eye.

0:21:43 > 0:21:47Now, it is in your interest to be candid with me, lady.

0:21:47 > 0:21:51The risk of a fire in a place so full of the flammable.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54My theatre burns, that fire will not stop till it meets the river.

0:21:56 > 0:22:00Well, best you tell me, then. Have you seen him?

0:22:00 > 0:22:01Have you hid him?

0:22:04 > 0:22:08I'll tell you something about Captain Homer Jackson.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11I'm sure a great many believe he cuts quite the dash

0:22:11 > 0:22:12with his cool eye

0:22:12 > 0:22:15for all that the world, in its foolishness, considers of value.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18And I'll admit, such a cynicism quite had me taken for a while.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26LIGHTER CLICKS

0:22:26 > 0:22:29But that nonchalance is just a pose

0:22:29 > 0:22:34behind which he hides a tearful, fearful, treacherous heart.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36Further to which,

0:22:36 > 0:22:41for a man to spend so much of his life in the service of his manhood,

0:22:41 > 0:22:43when that manhood is...

0:22:43 > 0:22:46well...

0:22:46 > 0:22:47more of a boyhood.

0:22:49 > 0:22:50You get my meaning, Mr Shine.

0:22:57 > 0:22:59Thatcher.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12With me, Thatcher.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14Run along.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33SIGHING

0:23:36 > 0:23:38Miss Morton, any damage incurred while you keep us here,

0:23:38 > 0:23:40I will foot the bill myself.

0:23:40 > 0:23:43And what will you do, Miss Hart? Set armed men to rob another train?

0:23:43 > 0:23:46Now, let us hope it doesn't come to that, all right?

0:23:46 > 0:23:47Are you OK, Mimi?

0:23:47 > 0:23:49I will not have you soft-soap me, either.

0:23:49 > 0:23:53Perhaps, after all, we have overstayed our welcome.

0:23:53 > 0:23:57Jedediah Shine is not a man I would have set any further sights on you.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00Come. It's becoming dark. We may go.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02Find ourselves alternative concealment.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04- MIMI LAUGHS - And then, when you're caught

0:24:04 > 0:24:06and your severed heads are displayed on the iron railings

0:24:06 > 0:24:09that line the new station house on Leman Street,

0:24:09 > 0:24:11I shall have eternal guilt

0:24:11 > 0:24:13to add to the catalogue of vexations I suffer

0:24:13 > 0:24:16as a result of YOU coming back into my life.

0:24:16 > 0:24:17No.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19This profanity is part of some strategy

0:24:19 > 0:24:21that, at its end, sees you restored,

0:24:21 > 0:24:24these two gone away, and that man Dove punished for all he has done?

0:24:25 > 0:24:29It is no easy task, Miss Morton, but, yes, that is the goal.

0:24:32 > 0:24:35Best you and your merry band get about it, then, Mr Reid.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57Where you go, you trust these people?

0:24:57 > 0:25:00They are not one-time lovers of mine but, that aside, yes, I do.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02What am I today? The world's chopping block?

0:25:02 > 0:25:03I want to know you're safe is all.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08Just get about your work, husband, and I shall get about mine.

0:25:19 > 0:25:20- WHISPERS:- Leonard. Myrtle.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26Miss Susan. Quick, before you're seen.

0:25:27 > 0:25:29DOOR CLOSES

0:25:29 > 0:25:32Look at you, Myrtle. You must be near term.

0:25:32 > 0:25:36I am, Miss Susan. And you? Is all safe with you?

0:25:36 > 0:25:39Oh, you must not fear, neither of you.

0:25:39 > 0:25:41You do quite enough for me as it is.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44But there's never enough we could do for you, Miss. Not never.

0:25:46 > 0:25:49Tell me, Leonard, how fares my boy?

0:25:49 > 0:25:54Oh, but he is a stout and fine young man, as only could be expected.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56He is well, then?

0:25:56 > 0:25:58He is well cared for, certainly.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00But not...

0:26:01 > 0:26:03..happy?

0:26:03 > 0:26:05How could a boy be happy without his ma?

0:26:05 > 0:26:09But he is kept on a short line. The woman Chudleigh.

0:26:09 > 0:26:11The governess?

0:26:11 > 0:26:15As fierce and shrewish a harridan as ever scolded a boy.

0:26:15 > 0:26:20But, Mr Dove, he has some feeling for the boy, I believe.

0:26:20 > 0:26:23Took him to Jamrach's today and bought him a puppy,

0:26:23 > 0:26:26so to ease his loneliness.

0:26:27 > 0:26:30But, Leonard, do you think...

0:26:30 > 0:26:34do you see a way when the time comes that he might be taken away?

0:26:35 > 0:26:39There are Westminster Police on guard day and night,

0:26:39 > 0:26:41but the woman Chudleigh must eat and sleep,

0:26:41 > 0:26:43and the gardens...

0:26:44 > 0:26:48Mr Dove's gardens, they are bordered at the back only by the marshes

0:26:48 > 0:26:50and that puppy must be exercised.

0:26:50 > 0:26:52I see, Leonard.

0:26:52 > 0:26:55Albeit slight, there are opportunities there.

0:26:55 > 0:26:56There are.

0:27:00 > 0:27:02How do you find Mr Dove?

0:27:02 > 0:27:05Too upright by half, as you ask,

0:27:05 > 0:27:09and he is distracted by something which makes him fearful anxious.

0:27:12 > 0:27:14Leonard, do you think it's possible,

0:27:14 > 0:27:16whilst always, of course, being most careful,

0:27:16 > 0:27:20that you may discover what it is that makes him so anxious?

0:27:20 > 0:27:23Please, Miss Susan.

0:27:23 > 0:27:27He already risks so much. What if he is found out? Leonard?

0:27:28 > 0:27:31No, now, come, Myrtle.

0:27:31 > 0:27:35We must remind ourselves of all this good lady has done for us.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37I was only a daily fix-it,

0:27:37 > 0:27:41paid a penny to clear the guttering at Tenter Street when the leaves got in

0:27:41 > 0:27:44and she encouraged my love for you,

0:27:44 > 0:27:46saw that you need earn in that way no more,

0:27:46 > 0:27:48handed us the deposit for our home here.

0:27:48 > 0:27:50Hush, Leonard. You need not go on.

0:27:52 > 0:27:54But...

0:27:55 > 0:27:59..he's my Leonard and I would be lost without him.

0:28:01 > 0:28:05He means to name the child after you, if it is a girl.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07And even if it is not.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09Leonard!

0:28:09 > 0:28:11A boy named...Susan?

0:28:13 > 0:28:15Strong a name as ever there was.

0:28:15 > 0:28:17THEY LAUGH

0:28:20 > 0:28:21Um...

0:28:24 > 0:28:27The, er...the house,

0:28:27 > 0:28:30entrances, bedchambers of the occupants.

0:28:31 > 0:28:33Do you think you might be able to draw it for me?

0:28:36 > 0:28:38I'm sure I may.

0:28:40 > 0:28:43Here, the back stairwell.

0:28:43 > 0:28:49This, Mr Dove's rooms, and this, where your Connor sleeps.

0:28:49 > 0:28:53JACKSON: That's the way, brother. Almost home.

0:28:53 > 0:28:54WHISPERS: Right, quick, over here.

0:29:16 > 0:29:18Well, do we say a prayer?

0:29:18 > 0:29:21- REID:- Pray that one deception is believed over the other.

0:29:21 > 0:29:23Now, I go to watch for Mathilda's candle.

0:29:33 > 0:29:34- MATHILDA:- I'm sorry, Drum.

0:29:34 > 0:29:35It's not you that lumped me, Tilda.

0:29:35 > 0:29:37I might as well have, however.

0:29:38 > 0:29:40My father would be grateful for such loyalty.

0:29:40 > 0:29:44They know it was me told you and you that told him

0:29:44 > 0:29:47and he that tied Frank Thatcher starkers to that pony.

0:29:47 > 0:29:49- I am watched.- By Mr Shine?

0:29:49 > 0:29:51He wishes to dice me for his cooking pot.

0:29:51 > 0:29:52SHE SIGHS

0:29:53 > 0:29:56I shall not ask it of you again, Drum.

0:30:03 > 0:30:06Come, please. Do not sleep on the floor tonight.

0:30:06 > 0:30:09Tilda, do you not fear for what folk will say?

0:30:09 > 0:30:10Do you not want to be...proper?

0:30:12 > 0:30:15Proper? I'm not sure I know what that means.

0:30:15 > 0:30:18But I certainly do not care for others' definition of it.

0:30:18 > 0:30:22All that is proper and true is that this is good.

0:30:22 > 0:30:23All else can go hang.

0:30:29 > 0:30:32- Come, Samuel.- No. No, no, Tilda.

0:30:32 > 0:30:35It's not that I lack the...desire.

0:30:36 > 0:30:37It does not feel right.

0:30:38 > 0:30:40In your heart?

0:30:40 > 0:30:42No.

0:30:42 > 0:30:44Then we must stay true to that.

0:30:51 > 0:30:54TRAIN RUMBLES

0:30:59 > 0:31:02TRAIN RUMBLES

0:31:29 > 0:31:31PEOPLE SHOUT

0:31:31 > 0:31:33- THATCHER:- Move! Move! Oi! Oi!

0:31:33 > 0:31:35Move! Keep them back.

0:31:35 > 0:31:37- MAN SHOUTS:- I've seen this before. We are not slaves!

0:31:37 > 0:31:39WOMAN SHOUTS

0:31:39 > 0:31:42- WOMAN:- My children are not safe in their beds!

0:31:42 > 0:31:43WOMAN SHOUTS

0:31:53 > 0:31:55DOVE: What's that you say?

0:31:55 > 0:31:57- POLICEMAN:- A new body with bite marks has been found, Mr Dove.

0:31:57 > 0:31:59Another! Where found? By whom?

0:31:59 > 0:32:03The wire says only that they need your urgent attendance at Leman Street, sir.

0:32:03 > 0:32:06Telephone Leman Street. They are to expect me within the hour.

0:32:06 > 0:32:08And wire Jamrach's for the latest shipping times.

0:32:08 > 0:32:09- Now!- Yes, Mr Dove.

0:32:35 > 0:32:36Miss Chudleigh.

0:32:37 > 0:32:38Good morning.

0:32:41 > 0:32:44Waters. The scuttle.

0:32:44 > 0:32:45DOG WHINES

0:32:46 > 0:32:48Of course, Miss Chudleigh.

0:32:49 > 0:32:51DOOR OPENS

0:33:00 > 0:33:02Where is it he was found?

0:33:02 > 0:33:04Yard off the back of Half Moon Passage, sir.

0:33:06 > 0:33:09That is but a spit from this address here.

0:33:09 > 0:33:13The murdering maniacs of this town lack all respect.

0:33:13 > 0:33:17This man Croker, your case was made sound, Mr Dove,

0:33:17 > 0:33:19for there is fearful likeness here.

0:33:24 > 0:33:27- You will send for a surgeon. - To what end, sir?

0:33:27 > 0:33:29For full autopsy! For certainty!

0:33:29 > 0:33:32Certainty? Well...

0:33:33 > 0:33:36..that is a luxury, in my experience, sir.

0:33:36 > 0:33:38Nonetheless.

0:33:38 > 0:33:40Sergeant Drummond, you will please send to the Yard.

0:33:40 > 0:33:42Yes, Mr Dove.

0:33:43 > 0:33:45Sirs, the press come.

0:33:49 > 0:33:50Mr Dove!

0:33:51 > 0:33:54Might I have some confirmation concerning the dead man's body

0:33:54 > 0:33:56recovered this morning from Half Moon Passage?

0:33:56 > 0:34:01Has this force once more assumed their tormentor dead when he is not?

0:34:01 > 0:34:05There are over 15 witnesses all describing the work done to the body.

0:34:05 > 0:34:06What use our word on it, then, girl?

0:34:07 > 0:34:08Mr Dove?

0:34:08 > 0:34:10You are the ranking officer here.

0:34:10 > 0:34:11May I have it from you?

0:34:14 > 0:34:16Assistant Commissioner?

0:34:20 > 0:34:23Sergeant Drummond, will you brew a pot of tea

0:34:23 > 0:34:26and show Miss Castello to the private office above?

0:34:26 > 0:34:30That is if Mr Shine will allow for the loan of it.

0:34:30 > 0:34:32Be my guest.

0:34:50 > 0:34:53I am to be granted private interview, am I?

0:34:54 > 0:34:58Perhaps you'll begin by telling me on what evidence you named the man Croker

0:34:58 > 0:35:02and if, as it now seems likely, it was not he performed these savage acts...

0:35:03 > 0:35:05..you will now be reopening the investigation

0:35:05 > 0:35:08into the murder of Inspector Bennet Drake.

0:35:09 > 0:35:13I shall not be taking questions on this matter until autopsy is met.

0:35:13 > 0:35:14Then why bring me here?

0:35:15 > 0:35:18Why not simply make your denial and cast me out?

0:35:20 > 0:35:23You believe yourself a good journalist, I am sure.

0:35:23 > 0:35:27Good, I mean, in that you understand the moral imperative of the truth.

0:35:27 > 0:35:28I do.

0:35:29 > 0:35:31Perhaps you believe I have, in the past,

0:35:31 > 0:35:33been eager to hide such truth from you.

0:35:34 > 0:35:37Well, I am tearing it up from the roots now.

0:35:38 > 0:35:40That is a copy, yours to take.

0:35:40 > 0:35:42But what you will find is that

0:35:42 > 0:35:44the fate to have befallen Mr Theodore Swift,

0:35:44 > 0:35:47buried alive by Edmund Reid, was far from an isolated occurrence.

0:35:47 > 0:35:50Within, the testimony of a man who once served him.

0:35:50 > 0:35:53Proof of this station house's past iniquity.

0:35:54 > 0:35:57Corroborated, extra-judicial murder.

0:35:58 > 0:36:01You wish to fill your next front page with speculation...

0:36:01 > 0:36:03you be my guest.

0:36:04 > 0:36:06But this, this is fact.

0:36:06 > 0:36:08And were you not to print fact, Miss Castello,

0:36:08 > 0:36:12well, I'd need to ask myself why that was.

0:36:27 > 0:36:29Care to share, Mr Dove?

0:36:33 > 0:36:34All in good time...

0:36:35 > 0:36:36..Mr Shine.

0:37:01 > 0:37:03BOBBY GRACE: Despite our sternest efforts,

0:37:03 > 0:37:07neither myself, Inspector Drake nor Captain Jackson

0:37:07 > 0:37:09could break down the iron grille

0:37:09 > 0:37:11which Inspector Reid had locked behind him.

0:37:11 > 0:37:15He would not open it and...and set about the suspect, Mr Buckley.

0:37:15 > 0:37:19Mr Reid took Mr Buckley's head between his hands and...

0:37:19 > 0:37:21Hold the evening run!

0:37:32 > 0:37:34DOOR CREAKS SHUT

0:37:42 > 0:37:44What?

0:37:44 > 0:37:46Well, you've made the front page.

0:37:46 > 0:37:48Just not all of it.

0:37:53 > 0:37:55Jesus, Reid.

0:37:56 > 0:37:58Horace Buckley. They have everything.

0:38:01 > 0:38:03Oh, Mathilda.

0:38:04 > 0:38:06No, no, no. Mathilda.

0:38:08 > 0:38:10- BOBBY GRACE: - ..He would not open it and...

0:38:12 > 0:38:15Mr Reid took Mr Buckley's head between his hands and...

0:38:16 > 0:38:18Well, I cannot think of a better word for it...

0:38:18 > 0:38:20popped it against the wooden pillar.

0:38:22 > 0:38:25I believe Mr Buckley died after the second strike.

0:38:37 > 0:38:41Mr Thatcher, what has befallen this neighbourhood

0:38:41 > 0:38:43that it is a-burst with women

0:38:43 > 0:38:45who wish to hide their information from the police?

0:38:48 > 0:38:50I don't know what it is, sir.

0:38:52 > 0:38:55Perhaps you'd best tell me, then, Miss Castello.

0:38:55 > 0:38:57I am accustomed to those of your sex

0:38:57 > 0:39:00being a sight more pliant than this.

0:39:00 > 0:39:05Our Assistant Commissioner Dove has given you intelligence

0:39:20 > 0:39:23There you go again and I tire of it, girlie.

0:39:33 > 0:39:36- Inspector, sir... - What? You object to my questioning?

0:39:38 > 0:39:39No.

0:40:16 > 0:40:22Yeah? Which all assume is your cannibal-killer back about it.

0:40:23 > 0:40:24It is not.

0:40:24 > 0:40:27Mr Dove...

0:40:28 > 0:40:31..he is a clever cat, now,

0:40:31 > 0:40:35but he ain't seen near enough dead bodies.

0:40:37 > 0:40:39Them bite marks, hm?

0:40:39 > 0:40:41The yellow round the edges?

0:40:41 > 0:40:43No lividity, see.

0:41:05 > 0:41:08Reid sends the Assistant Commissioner of Police?

0:41:08 > 0:41:10- SHOUTS: What is it? What is it? - Please! I don't know!

0:41:10 > 0:41:13- What is it?- Inspector Shine! Please!

0:42:13 > 0:42:15What does Mr Dove's brother do?

0:42:17 > 0:42:20Reid believed him to have been the killer,

0:42:20 > 0:42:24hidden away for his mania,

0:42:24 > 0:42:26escaping to murder,

0:42:26 > 0:42:31and Mr Dove, by necessity, moving mountains to see blame shifted

0:42:31 > 0:42:34and that man protected.

0:42:57 > 0:43:00where this killer brother of his is now hid.

0:45:10 > 0:45:12Well, these ain't puppies.

0:45:23 > 0:45:25He does not draw breath without strategy.

0:45:25 > 0:45:29Such rare beasts, coming in from the Thames for tax and clearance.

0:45:33 > 0:45:35and where he's surely hid somewhere.

0:45:35 > 0:45:37It is not such a leap of faith to imagine him being drawn

0:45:37 > 0:45:40to the same creatures who have so indelibly marked his soul.

0:45:40 > 0:45:43The same creatures as took their mother from them,

0:45:43 > 0:45:46brought to London from one brother to draw the other one out.

0:45:46 > 0:45:47They are a lure.
