I was told that you were dead. But he did not...

0:00:020:00:03

Yes, but I was told this.

0:00:030:00:05

I will talk to her. My word on it.

0:00:050:00:09

I do not see an animal, Nathaniel.

0:00:090:00:10

And what if we left this place? Robin as well.

0:00:100:00:14

Robin Sumner, you trust me, don't you?

0:00:140:00:17

I'll see you safe.

0:00:180:00:20

You've been a very brave boy, Robin.

0:00:200:00:23

Well, that boy's dead,

0:00:280:00:29

washed up like garbage in the mud of Goodluck Hope.

0:00:290:00:32

It's your piece-of-shit brother, killing on account of your killing,

0:00:320:00:35

you goddamn animals.

0:00:350:00:36

There is a candle, sir.

0:00:380:00:41

BONE CRUNCHES

0:00:440:00:46

No!

0:00:480:00:50

Mathilda! We had to catch him!

0:00:500:00:53

Mr Reid?

0:01:160:01:18

Sir?

0:01:180:01:20

Mr Reid?

0:01:210:01:23

How is it you were taken?

0:01:240:01:27

They say it was as though you surrendered.

0:01:290:01:32

Why?

0:01:330:01:35

Sir, to what end? Hm?

0:01:360:01:38

Did you and the Captain find Robin's killed mother and uncle?

0:01:390:01:44

THATCHER SIGHS

0:01:440:01:46

On what rash instinct has he and Miss Susan now blasted their way

0:01:460:01:49

in and out of Mr Dove's home?

0:01:490:01:51

Please?

0:01:530:01:55

Please, Mr Reid.

0:01:580:02:00

What must we do next?

0:02:030:02:04

Mr Reid?

0:02:110:02:12

Mr Reid?

0:02:150:02:17

MAN: You can see they came through this way.

0:02:570:02:59

This is your case, Inspector Drummond.

0:02:590:03:03

This may be Hackney, but this is a crime birthed in Whitechapel.

0:03:030:03:06

Its felons will no doubt be hid there until their escape may be made

0:03:060:03:09

and you, sir, and your men at H Division,

0:03:090:03:11

you shall hunt and trap them in Whitechapel.

0:03:110:03:13

Am I clear? Yes, Mr Dove.

0:03:130:03:16

Now that they've got the boy, they must make their escape and must show themselves in so doing.

0:03:160:03:20

Therefore, will you allow me more men requisitioned from the J and the K?

0:03:200:03:23

See the docksides locked down, all the train stations likewise.

0:03:230:03:26

She was mother to me when I had need of one.

0:03:260:03:28

CLOCK TICKS

0:03:280:03:30

And they have stole my son.

0:03:300:03:32

So, yes, Inspector, you shall have all the men you require.

0:03:330:03:36

Only make the instruction. Yes, sir.

0:03:360:03:38

And Mr Reid? Now that Mr Shine's last actions have delivered him into your custody, does he speak?

0:03:380:03:43

He does not.

0:03:430:03:44

And never mind what Mr Shine did to him. It's...

0:03:440:03:48

it's as if the marrow has been sucked from his bones.

0:03:480:03:51

The betrayal he has suffered.

0:03:510:03:54

The perception of it, at least. It is perhaps understandable.

0:03:540:03:58

You have cleared the Leman Street cells for his safety there?

0:03:580:04:01

I have.

0:04:010:04:02

Then perhaps I might interview him?

0:04:020:04:04

I should be grateful, sir.

0:04:040:04:06

Then let us to Leman Street. After you, Inspector.

0:04:060:04:09

Send for a photographer. Do not let the mortuary men touch her.

0:04:120:04:16

Thank you, Matthew.

0:04:500:04:52

Thank you.

0:04:530:04:55

I never knew...

0:04:590:05:01

I never knew what it would be to see the two of you together...

0:05:010:05:05

..and to know myself changed.

0:05:070:05:10

And, Connor,

0:05:120:05:14

you watch your father,

0:05:140:05:17

but, despite all, there is much to take example from.

0:05:170:05:21

His courage.

0:05:220:05:24

His courage and his love.

0:05:240:05:26

There are fences yet to be leapt.

0:05:280:05:31

But we're going home, son,

0:05:330:05:35

to America.

0:05:350:05:37

And there, there are deep valleys

0:05:370:05:40

and there are rivers that are fresh with spring thaw.

0:05:400:05:43

I have the carriage ready.

0:05:470:05:49

My driver will take you as far as the Old North Road

0:05:490:05:52

and then make his own way home.

0:05:520:05:53

Now, Connor, this is Miss Mimi,

0:05:530:05:56

our true friend.

0:05:560:05:59

Well, how else am I to be rid of you?

0:05:590:06:01

The docks will be watched.

0:06:010:06:03

The boat trains for the northern and southern ports likewise.

0:06:030:06:06

No, you'd only be apprehended, escape once again, return here,

0:06:060:06:10

and I should never be able to open this playhouse to the paying public.

0:06:100:06:12

All right. Best we're about it, then.

0:06:120:06:14

A-ha.

0:06:160:06:18

You do not wish to hear news of the wider world of Whitechapel?

0:06:190:06:23

We do not. And what news is that, Miss Mimi?

0:06:230:06:27

Jedediah Shine is dead.

0:06:270:06:29

Well, that's cause for celebration, then.

0:06:350:06:38

How so?

0:06:380:06:39

Er...it is not said in detail...

0:06:390:06:41

..only that the capture of Mr Reid was his last living act.

0:06:440:06:47

It appears Mr Reid's daughter was turned to his betrayal.

0:06:500:06:53

Hey, he knew the risk. I warned him.

0:06:550:06:57

But he decided to go his own way, just as now we're going to go ours.

0:06:570:07:02

Caitlin, you bring the boy. I'm going to take the bags out to the carriage.

0:07:020:07:06

Caitlin, I said bring the boy.

0:07:090:07:11

Matthew, I have to. I made the promise.

0:07:110:07:14

That betrayal, that sundering, they are down to me.

0:07:140:07:17

God damn it, Caitlin!

0:07:170:07:20

No.

0:07:200:07:21

Or does he not merit intervention? Does she not deserve the truth?

0:07:210:07:24

And what about us, for Christ's sakes?

0:07:240:07:26

We have him, we have Connor,

0:07:260:07:29

and now you're going to go saunter over

0:07:290:07:31

and present yourself to the home address of Inspector Samuel Drummond?

0:07:310:07:34

I do not suggest such a thing.

0:07:340:07:37

Then what?

0:07:370:07:39

DOOR RATTLES AND CREAKS

0:07:390:07:41

DOG BARKS OUTSIDE

0:07:480:07:49

Will you leave us a moment, Inspector Drummond?

0:07:490:07:52

Yes, sir.

0:07:520:07:53

DOG BARKS OUTSIDE

0:07:580:08:00

DOOR SHUTS

0:08:000:08:02

All of London is a-clamour, sir.

0:08:040:08:06

The capital's press is therefore to be gathered

0:08:070:08:10

at Scotland Yard tomorrow morning...

0:08:100:08:12

..where I shall explain to them the ugly whys and wherefores of how it is

0:08:130:08:18

the leading police of Whitechapel are either murdered or murdering.

0:08:180:08:22

I'm sure you...

0:08:260:08:28

understand, therefore...

0:08:280:08:32

..a service you would render,

0:08:340:08:36

should you give full account of...

0:08:360:08:38

..all you know.

0:08:410:08:42

Your friends have killed once more.

0:08:480:08:50

More blood,

0:08:500:08:53

the spattering of which lands on your shirt cuffs, Mr Reid,

0:08:530:08:55

for you know where they might be found and will not say.

0:08:550:08:59

Will you now tell me?

0:09:000:09:02

And be aware I do not offer you terms.

0:09:120:09:15

You are wiser than to think your many articles of disgrace might be shrived for one act of confession.

0:09:150:09:21

No, you speak, because you understand that this mayhem must come to an end.

0:09:210:09:25

You do it because you believe in a resolution.

0:09:250:09:29

A last good act for Edmund Reid.

0:09:290:09:31

It will not erase the stain of your works, sir.

0:09:330:09:36

But it will return a measure of order

0:09:360:09:38

to the community you have purported to serve...

0:09:380:09:41

..and some peace

0:09:440:09:46

to the shattered soul of your daughter.

0:09:460:09:49

I could hear Bennet Drake as he died.

0:09:530:09:56

I heard what it was he said to your brother,

0:09:580:10:01

before your brother took his throat out.

0:10:010:10:04

Bennet said that to see him was only looking in a mirror...

0:10:060:10:11

..and now you and I here,

0:10:120:10:14

facing reflections of our own.

0:10:140:10:17

I know you sincere, Mr Dove...

0:10:190:10:21

..sincere in your hope that the world be righted and renewed...

0:10:240:10:29

..the pitiless murk of the past

0:10:300:10:33

be obliterated and forgot.

0:10:330:10:35

This journey here,

0:10:360:10:39

ours,

0:10:390:10:41

began with a man named Isaac Bloom.

0:10:410:10:44

You recall the name?

0:10:450:10:46

Isaac was a mathematician.

0:10:490:10:50

He believed that numbers betrayed the true nature of our universe

0:10:500:10:54

and that, accordingly, it was empirically proved

0:10:540:10:56

that the entropy of the universe extended to a maximum,

0:10:560:11:01

that everything moved irretrievably from order

0:11:010:11:05

into chaos.

0:11:050:11:07

You do not believe that, do you?

0:11:090:11:11

I cannot.

0:11:110:11:13

I said the same, because what hope for Whitechapel if he were right?

0:11:130:11:18

You wish for a confession of truth from me?

0:11:200:11:22

I do.

0:11:230:11:25

Well, this is it.

0:11:250:11:27

Isaac Bloom was correct in all that he said.

0:11:270:11:29

You forget your hopes, sir,

0:11:310:11:33

because this Whitechapel is coming for you.

0:11:330:11:35

The one last good act, you say?

0:11:380:11:40

Then I choose the simplest.

0:11:430:11:45

I will not betray my friends.

0:11:470:11:49

He will not speak. But we must proceed, regardless.

0:12:140:12:18

The man he is, his position in your own private life,

0:12:180:12:22

it is no easy thing, I know.

0:12:220:12:24

But you see him charged, Inspector.

0:12:240:12:27

I shall, Mr Dove.

0:12:270:12:28

My, but you are upright, the pair of you.

0:12:310:12:35

Careful, Frank.

0:12:350:12:38

What is it scares you, Drum?

0:12:380:12:41

That just as the sanctified Miss Mathilda Reid has done,

0:12:410:12:43

we too might find cause to wallop you in full view of the world?

0:12:430:12:48

Are you about your work, Desk Sergeant?

0:12:480:12:51

Have you wired the J and K about them extra boots?

0:12:510:12:53

Do they even now read their instructions

0:12:530:12:56

as to how each and every means of departure from this town

0:12:560:12:58

is to be barricaded?

0:12:580:13:00

No? Then see it done!

0:13:010:13:03

And when you have, you may come and witness Mr Reid's charge sheet.

0:13:030:13:07

Hear his offences for yourself.

0:13:070:13:09

Please confirm your name.

0:13:470:13:49

Edmund John James Reid.

0:13:490:13:51

Address? 14 Fairclough Street, Whitechapel.

0:13:510:13:54

Occupation?

0:13:540:13:56

Police officer. Drummond?

0:13:580:13:59

What I asked of you earlier, you told Mathilda?

0:13:590:14:04

That I understand, that I understood?

0:14:050:14:07

KNOCK AT DOOR

0:14:080:14:10

Please, will you tell her?

0:14:100:14:12

Please say that you'll tell her.

0:14:150:14:16

CLEARS THROAT: Charge sheet against Reid, Edmund John James.

0:14:160:14:20

Witness, Sergeant Francis Thatcher.

0:14:200:14:22

Her Majesty's Metropolitan Police do charge you with the following crimes.

0:14:220:14:25

The unlawful murder with malice aforethought of Theodore Swift.

0:14:250:14:29

The unlawful murder of Horace Buckley. Drum...

0:14:290:14:31

Aiding and abetting in the unlawful murder of Frank Goodnight.

0:14:310:14:33

Resisting arrest.

0:14:330:14:35

Drummond. Conspiracy to defeat justice.

0:14:350:14:37

Please... Being an accessory after the fact... Mathilda must know.

0:14:370:14:40

..to the felony of permitting... She must not suffer... ..Miss Susan Hart... ..further distress.

0:14:400:14:44

..and Captain Homer Jackson to regain their liberty, whilst having them in custody.

0:14:440:14:47

It is only a message. You will sign here, Mr Reid. Why will you not undertake to give it?

0:14:470:14:50

He cannot undertake to do that, Mr Reid,

0:14:500:14:51

because Miss Mathilda put him out on the streets and won't speak to him.

0:14:510:14:54

Is this true, Drummond?

0:14:590:15:02

Please, sir, sign... Tell me.

0:15:020:15:03

Sergeant Thatcher, sign. Samuel Drummond?

0:15:090:15:12

Was it you who lit the candle in Mathilda's window?

0:15:140:15:16

Sergeant Thatcher, earlier, you were enquiring after the Sumner family.

0:15:350:15:39

Yes, Mr Reid.

0:15:390:15:40

Perhaps one-and-a-half kilometres upstream from the Limehouse Cut,

0:15:400:15:44

there is a series of heavy meanders through Bow Creek

0:15:440:15:47

and on the eastern bank

0:15:470:15:49

there is a copse of black poplars at Goodluck Hope.

0:15:490:15:53

Amongst, you will find a mound of earth marked with a prow of driftwood

0:15:530:15:57

and within that grave you will find the murdered body of Robin Sumner.

0:15:570:16:01

How?

0:16:070:16:08

Who?

0:16:100:16:14

Commissioner Dove, I believe.

0:16:140:16:15

That man.

0:16:240:16:26

And that Inspector Drum, up there with his vanity and his ambition,

0:16:260:16:30

he may as well have the little boy's blood on his hands as well.

0:16:300:16:33

Well, he shall hear what he's done.

0:16:330:16:35

No. No, no.

0:16:350:16:36

Samuel Drummond...Samuel Drummond is innocent of all and must remain so.

0:16:360:16:39

Sir? The candle. Miss Mathilda. How can you defend him?

0:16:390:16:42

It was done for the love of her.

0:16:420:16:44

Whichever, Sergeant.

0:16:460:16:48

It serves no purpose to ruin his sense of the world.

0:16:480:16:51

Not yet, at any rate.

0:16:510:16:52

Then I ask you again, sir.

0:16:530:16:56

What must we do now?

0:16:570:16:59

Not we, Francis Thatcher.

0:16:590:17:02

You.

HAWKER SHOUTS

0:17:120:17:14

You are Miss Mathilda Reid?

0:17:180:17:21

Yes. Who are you?

0:17:210:17:23

This is my theatre, Miss Reid.

0:17:340:17:36

It means a great deal to me so I do hope that you can be trusted.

0:17:360:17:40

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

0:18:000:18:02

Hello, Mathilda.

0:18:040:18:06

Why am I brought here?

0:18:100:18:11

Because she asks.

0:18:120:18:14

And she has a way of getting what she asks for.

0:18:140:18:17

You bank a great deal on my discretion, Miss Susan.

0:18:180:18:22

I hope you will consider it a risk worth taking.

0:18:220:18:25

Then what is it that I may do for you?

0:18:250:18:28

Relieve me of a secret,

0:18:280:18:30

I hope.

0:18:300:18:33

How may I do that?

0:18:330:18:34

Allow me to tell it to you...

0:18:340:18:36

..for I've kept it long and it is to me a poison.

0:18:370:18:40

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

0:18:400:18:42

Hello, Connor.

0:18:490:18:51

My son knows a friend when he sees one.

0:18:520:18:54

May I fetch you some tea, Miss Reid?

0:18:590:19:01

Thank you, Captain Jackson.

0:19:030:19:04

We heard the news of your father.

0:19:080:19:10

He was hid here with us until...

0:19:100:19:13

Well, you called to him,

0:19:150:19:16

and which father can resist the call of his child?

0:19:160:19:19

But I did not call to him,

0:19:190:19:21

did not send him out to go beneath Mr Shine's fists.

0:19:210:19:24

I would not. I could not.

0:19:240:19:25

I believe it, Mathilda. You love him.

0:19:250:19:28

I do.

0:19:300:19:30

And yet...

0:19:340:19:35

The things he has done?

0:19:350:19:37

May I tell you about my father?

0:19:430:19:45

LONG SUSAN TALKS

0:19:530:19:55

Are you feeling all right?

0:20:050:20:07

Oh, um...

0:20:070:20:09

a little flu.

0:20:090:20:10

..great ambition,

0:20:100:20:13

what he suffered and for all its horror...

0:20:130:20:16

..I wished for Mr Reid to lock the grille and leave my father there.

0:20:180:20:22

Forgive me, Miss Susan.

0:20:220:20:25

But your father's fate, my own's involvement in that,

0:20:250:20:29

it is not those actions which brought me to despair.

0:20:290:20:33

I know, Mathilda.

0:20:330:20:34

But Mr Buckley... what he did to Mr Buckley...

0:20:340:20:36

Mathilda, this...this is why I bring you here.

0:20:360:20:40

Whenever,

0:20:430:20:45

down the years,

0:20:450:20:47

you bring to mind the picture of what befell Mr Buckley in that cellar,

0:20:470:20:51

you no more imagine Mr Reid with that man's head between his fists...

0:20:510:20:56

but myself.

0:20:560:20:58

Now, it would take you another lifetime to understand

0:21:010:21:03

what would have made me do...do such a thing,

0:21:030:21:07

but at the time I believed your father

0:21:070:21:09

perhaps as vicious as your... your worst dreams may suggest...

0:21:090:21:13

..and...

0:21:150:21:17

SNIFFS ..to my shame,

0:21:170:21:20

my life...

0:21:200:21:22

my lifelong shame,

0:21:220:21:24

I saw a way by which...

0:21:240:21:27

..all that I had made for myself...

0:21:280:21:30

..all that your father would set himself upon taking from me,

0:21:310:21:36

I saw a means to protect it and that means was a lie.

0:21:360:21:40

In the days after you were found, taken into my care,

0:21:410:21:45

your mind fevered, wandering,

0:21:450:21:48

the damaged spirit child Mr Buckley had made you believe that you were...

0:21:480:21:53

..your father, Mr Reid, came looking for you

0:21:570:22:01

and I told him you were dead.

0:22:010:22:03

And worse, Mathilda.

0:22:030:22:06

For all Mr Buckley's gentleness to you,

0:22:080:22:12

I described a vision of horror to your father,

0:22:120:22:15

that you had been chained and starved and...and violated

0:22:150:22:18

all those years that you'd been gone from him.

0:22:180:22:20

So, yes, he took Horace Buckley's life.

0:22:200:22:23

But with my hands, Mathilda.

0:22:230:22:25

My hands.

0:22:260:22:30

As...

0:22:320:22:33

..as though he were my puppet.

0:22:340:22:36

It's true, Miss Reid.

0:22:410:22:44

All of it.

0:22:440:22:45

And so you bring me here now to tell me this,

0:22:510:22:55

because you have your son, are leaving,

0:22:550:22:58

and wish to unburden yourself before you do?

0:22:580:23:01

Forgive me, but, as ever, I feel you serve no-one's ends but your own.

0:23:010:23:06

Think on it,

0:23:070:23:09

as my father is dragged pitilessly to his justice,

0:23:090:23:13

while you escape yours.

0:23:130:23:15

God damn it!

0:23:170:23:19

You just couldn't leave well enough alone, could you?

0:23:200:23:23

Of all the women in the world to have an attack of conscience.

0:23:230:23:26

Jesus Christ!

0:23:260:23:28

God damn it!

0:23:300:23:32

I mean, what did he ever do for me, huh?

0:23:320:23:35

Hauled his flapping ass out of more scrapes than I care to think of,

0:23:350:23:38

and now...

0:23:380:23:39

Now what, Captain?

0:23:390:23:41

I have a goddamn plan...

0:23:450:23:48

that's what.

0:23:480:23:49

I see him, Sarge.

0:24:010:24:03

Evening, boys. You took your sweet time.

0:24:070:24:10

Think it's going to take six of you, do you?

0:24:100:24:13

Well, perhaps it might...

0:24:130:24:15

..if you were men and not cowards and eunuchs.

0:24:160:24:20

Come on, darlings.

0:24:220:24:24

Where's Sergeant Thatcher?

0:24:340:24:36

Don't know, sir. Well, somebody bloody find him!

0:24:360:24:38

RAISED VOICES

0:24:380:24:40

Stay there!

0:24:400:24:42

Well, Drummond, the fairy queen himself.

0:24:440:24:46

Whatever it is you have in mind, do not take me for a fool.

0:25:060:25:10

Has he been searched?

0:25:120:25:14

Strip him.

0:25:150:25:16

Do it!

0:25:180:25:20

Inspector, sir... What?

0:25:380:25:40

You're called for.

0:25:400:25:41

I'm occupied. Take a note or send them away.

0:25:410:25:43

It is Miss Reid, sir.

0:25:430:25:45

DISTANT DOG BARKS

0:25:450:25:48

Lock Captain Jackson down. Two men on the outer door also.

0:25:540:25:58

What is it you do, Captain?

0:26:110:26:13

Attack of conscience, Reid, and you can save your gratitude for later.

0:26:130:26:18

And why am I grateful that you too are now incarcerated?

0:26:180:26:22

Why do you think?

0:26:240:26:25

Not that you deserve it, but we're going to break you out of here.

0:26:250:26:28

We?

0:26:280:26:30

Tilda?

0:26:350:26:37

Tilda.

0:26:430:26:45

Will you come upstairs so we may talk?

0:26:450:26:47

In due course, perhaps.

0:26:480:26:51

For now, I would see my father.

0:26:510:26:54

Drum, you may take a moment

0:26:540:26:56

to consider the consequences of denying me this,

0:26:560:26:58

but do not take any longer.

0:26:580:27:00

DOOR RATTLES AND CREAKS

0:27:030:27:05

Thank you, Drum. As I said, alone.

0:27:120:27:13

I shall wait beyond.

0:27:170:27:19

Hammer on the door when you are done, Tilda.

0:27:190:27:21

Father. Darling girl.

0:27:250:27:26

Are you hurt? What that man did... Hush, Mathilda. I shall live.

0:27:260:27:29

My candle. It was not myself to have lit it.

0:27:290:27:32

I know. I know, Mathilda.

0:27:320:27:35

But how?

0:27:350:27:36

Mr Drummond is not a man much able to disguise his shame.

0:27:360:27:39

He told you? Not as such.

0:27:390:27:40

But he bears it hard, my darling.

0:27:400:27:42

Hey, my heart bleeds for him, really, but, Miss Reid,

0:27:420:27:44

do you think it's about time we got about our chief purpose?

0:27:440:27:48

No, no. No.

0:27:500:27:52

No, I am not for the freeing, Mathilda.

0:27:520:27:55

Excuse me? No more running, no more, no more.

0:27:550:27:58

But, Miss Susan, she explained all to me.

0:27:580:28:00

No, no. Not all.

0:28:000:28:02

The man, Buckley, perhaps.

0:28:020:28:03

Her father, Theodore Swift, I can never regret that.

0:28:030:28:07

But think on your Uncle Bennet and all I brought him to.

0:28:070:28:11

Mathilda, an accounting must be made.

0:28:140:28:18

And now you're happy to let me hang alongside you,

0:28:180:28:20

when I bust my ass in here to free you?

0:28:200:28:23

Yes.

0:28:230:28:25

On that matter, it is my own strategy, Captain,

0:28:250:28:27

and I very much hope it shan't come to that.

0:28:270:28:29

And that strategy being what?

0:28:290:28:31

Francis Thatcher is gone to exhume the body of Robin Sumner.

0:28:310:28:34

I thought you said you left that boy to rest.

0:28:380:28:41

He rests. Augustus Dove prevails.

0:28:410:28:43

Now, he may rest in due course again,

0:28:450:28:47

but it is that boy who will give his own tragedy...

0:28:470:28:50

His family is here, Bennet Drake's, Isaac Bloom's.

0:28:500:28:53

It is that boy who will hand them their justice,

0:28:530:28:56

even if I am handed mine alongside.

0:28:560:28:57

And how is the boy to do that, Reid? That boy cannot speak.

0:28:570:29:02

The dead can always speak, Captain, when you are there to aid them.

0:29:160:29:19

I thought we might eat together.

0:29:190:29:20

Last night, as we came under attack, you broke down your door.

0:29:440:29:48

I did.

0:29:480:29:49

You did this so you might assist my people?

0:29:490:29:52

I heard the pup calling.

0:29:560:29:58

And yet you did not protect him?

0:29:580:30:01

Well, the Captain, he...

0:30:020:30:04

he had a pistol.

0:30:040:30:06

And besides... Besides what, brother?

0:30:070:30:09

Miss Susan is his mother.

0:30:120:30:14

She is a murderer, Nathaniel.

0:30:140:30:16

So am I, Gustus.

0:30:180:30:19

Do you recall the boy Robin Sumner?

0:30:310:30:33

Of course.

he is, in fact, not safe,

but he is dead.

0:30:430:30:45

And she knows this how?

0:30:480:30:51

Captain found him in water...

0:30:510:30:53

..at Goodluck Hope.

0:30:550:30:56

How dead, did these most valued witnesses say?

0:31:000:31:04

Killed...

0:31:050:31:06

..by you, they believe.

0:31:080:31:10

And what do you believe, Nathaniel?

0:31:130:31:17

You, who have known me your entire life.

0:31:170:31:19

Do you truly believe I could do that to a pup?

0:31:220:31:24

A pup?

0:31:270:31:29

No.

0:31:330:31:34

Now, we are almost home.

0:31:370:31:40

Edmund Reid lies in a cell at Leman Street, his spirit broken.

0:31:400:31:44

The woman Hart and her American must now escape with their child

0:31:440:31:46

and will surely be taken in so doing.

0:31:460:31:50

It will be Christmas before we know it.

0:31:530:31:55

We shall fill the house with food and gifts and friends

0:31:550:32:00

And what will you do with him now?

0:35:160:35:17

Get him his retribution.

Thank you, Commissioner.

0:41:480:41:50

It is with regret I must announce the death

0:41:530:41:56

of Inspector First Class Jedediah Shine of H Division, Whitechapel.

0:41:590:42:01

How do you respond to rumours...

0:42:010:42:03

GAVEL BANGS

0:42:030:42:05

Please. CHATTER PAUSES

0:42:050:42:08

Mr Shine was as fine and resourceful a policeman

0:42:080:42:10

as any this force has known. He will be mourned accordingly.

0:42:100:42:14

WHISPER: Extraordinary.

0:42:140:42:16

I need hardly mention how hard this goes on the morale of our men,

0:42:160:42:19

who only so recently lost Inspector Bennet Drake of the same division.

0:42:190:42:22

Is there any connection between... How did Inspector Drake meet his end, though?

0:42:220:42:26

Inspector Shine's last action... CHATTER PAUSES

0:42:260:42:29

..was to secure the arrest of Edmund Reid,

0:42:290:42:32

and whilst...and whilst I know that man's reputation was hard won,

0:42:320:42:37

I hope that you will take in good faith the charges

0:42:370:42:39

which the men of H Division will soon be presenting

0:42:390:42:41

against their one-time station chief.

0:42:410:42:43

Charges? How does this reflect on the force as a whole, sir?

0:42:430:42:46

Let me say only this.

0:42:460:42:47

None of the speculation carried in your pages

0:42:470:42:49

is far from the truth of the matter.

0:42:490:42:51

And should the courts, as I expect them to do, find Edmund Reid guilty,

0:42:510:42:56

no matter his years of service,

0:42:560:42:59

we will be urging for the most severe of penalties under the law.

You heard? I did.

0:43:520:43:54

Then you understand why I wired you.

0:43:540:43:57

I hoped you might be prised from your retirement.

0:43:570:43:59

Ed Reid is to be hanged.

0:43:590:44:01

That hair-oiled smooth face back there,

0:44:010:44:05

that is the Mr Dove you wrote of?

0:44:050:44:07

I fear he now has the wherewithal to prevail.

0:44:070:44:10

There are none left to challenge him.

0:44:100:44:12

There is you, Miss.

0:44:120:44:14

But all I had accumulated of his story,

0:44:140:44:17

the murdered Rabbi Ratovski's own written account, I believe...

0:44:170:44:21

..Mr Shine destroyed it.

0:44:230:44:25

Then best we put it together again.

0:44:250:44:28

Where is Francis Thatcher?

0:44:360:44:37

Gone, as you ask. No man knows where.

0:44:380:44:42

Not returned?

0:44:420:44:43

Mathilda, why does the whereabouts of Frank Thatcher worry you so?

0:44:450:44:48

I'm not sure I want to tell you, Drum.

0:44:480:44:50

After all, I know what it is you do with the secrets I give you.

0:44:500:44:55

I would take it back, if I could.

0:44:580:45:01

I am sure.

0:45:030:45:05

But not for him.

0:45:050:45:07

All them things Mr Reid is said to have done, he done.

0:45:070:45:10

I know. So, he must face his punishment.

0:45:100:45:12

I understand, Drum.

0:45:170:45:19

I did it for you, Tilda.

0:45:190:45:21

Because I wanted...

0:45:210:45:23

I still only want for you and I to be able to walk clean of this mess,

0:45:230:45:28

for you, for once, to be able to stand atop the building of your life

0:45:280:45:31

and look outward from it,

0:45:310:45:32

not forever be casting your gaze back inside,

0:45:320:45:34

for the fear it might catch fire again.

0:45:340:45:37

And he is the building, you feel?

0:45:400:45:42

Well?

0:45:420:45:43

I mean, is he not?

0:45:440:45:45

DOORS BANG

0:46:070:46:08

Yard, son! Pipe down!

0:46:080:46:11

Where's your chief?

0:46:140:46:15

Mr Abberline.

0:46:170:46:20

Mathilda Reid.

0:46:200:46:22

Mr Abberline.

0:46:220:46:23

On another occasion the men of H Division would gladly welcome you,

0:46:230:46:27

but, as you might have heard, we are sorely pressed at the present moment.

0:46:270:46:30

Who this?

0:46:300:46:32

This is Inspector Drummond.

0:46:320:46:35

This is him?

0:46:350:46:36

The milksop with whom you bring yourself into shame and disrepute?

0:46:360:46:40

Looks like he might battle to blow the head off a pint of mild.

0:46:400:46:44

Nonetheless, sir,

0:46:460:46:48

this is my command

0:46:480:46:50

and I'd ask you why you've brung yourself here, today of all days.

0:46:500:46:55

I would see my friend,

0:47:010:47:03

before you and your master have his neck choked at Newgate.

0:47:030:47:07

Tilda, it is not I that will pass that sentence on him, as you know,

0:47:100:47:15

nor Mr Dove.

0:47:150:47:16

He agitates for it, however.

0:47:160:47:19

Drum, please.

0:47:190:47:22

Allow it.

0:47:220:47:23

I will not. It is prohibited.

0:47:240:47:26

What is it you do, Drum?

0:47:280:47:30

What else? Alert Mr Dove to this man's presence.

0:47:300:47:33

You do it, sonny. I should be glad to know him.

0:47:330:47:37

DOORS OPEN

0:47:520:47:54

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

0:47:540:47:57

DOORS CREAK SHUT

0:47:570:47:59

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

0:47:590:48:01

Hm.

0:48:070:48:08

Hello?

0:48:120:48:15

Susan?

0:48:200:48:21

Captain?

0:48:240:48:25

SHE GASPS

0:49:070:49:09

Who are you?

0:49:090:49:10

Wait, wait. Wait.

0:49:110:49:14

Aah!

0:49:140:49:15

Shut up! Gaah!

0:49:150:49:18

Aaah! Be quiet. Be quiet!

0:49:180:49:20

Nathaniel! Nathaniel, you leave her be.

0:49:200:49:23

Will you...will you take Connor?

0:49:420:49:45

And leave you here? He is a friend.

0:49:450:49:47

Trust me.

0:49:490:49:51

You brought him here?

0:50:030:50:05

Why?

0:50:050:50:06

Miss Susan, you told me

0:50:120:50:15

and I had to ask him,

0:50:150:50:17

because he...he is my brother.

0:50:170:50:20

But, Gustus, he swore,

0:50:210:50:23

no, he hadn't,

0:50:230:50:26

and how could I believe this of him?

0:50:260:50:28

But I watched and I followed him...

0:50:300:50:33

..and I saw him, he put a bullet in that copper Thatcher.

0:50:340:50:38

Thatcher's dead?

0:50:380:50:40

Yes.

0:50:400:50:41

He put 'em both in the river, but I swum out and I brought Robin back.

0:50:410:50:45

SHE SIGHS

0:50:480:50:50

Oh, why did you bring him to me?

0:50:530:50:55

I've no-one else to go to...

0:50:550:50:57

..and I feel as...

0:50:590:51:01

as though something should be done

0:51:010:51:04

and Robin should be shown to someone as proof.

0:51:040:51:09

Augustus must be punished?

0:51:090:51:11

Yeah.

0:51:140:51:16

Why?

0:51:180:51:20

Because he has killed.

0:51:200:51:22

So have you, Nathaniel.

0:51:220:51:24

But not a pup.

0:51:240:51:25

Never a pup.

0:51:290:51:31

Killing is killing...

0:51:310:51:33

..and if...

0:51:340:51:35

..if Augustus must be punished...

0:51:380:51:40

..then you must.

0:51:420:51:43

All who kill...

0:51:480:51:50

must be punished.

0:51:500:51:51

I'm frightened, Miss Susan.

0:52:000:52:03

Perhaps...

0:52:030:52:05

HE SNIFFS

0:52:050:52:07

..perhaps I ought to go with you?

0:52:070:52:09

Whoa!

0:52:180:52:20

Thank you. Thank you, sir.

0:52:280:52:30

Walk on.

0:52:300:52:32

Miss Reid.

0:52:490:52:51

You did right to send for me, Inspector.

0:52:520:52:54

This him, then, is it?

0:52:540:52:56

Mr Abberline.

0:52:560:52:58

On another occasion, I should be grateful to meet you

0:52:580:53:01

and account for actions we here have taken

0:53:010:53:03

which I understand must surely fill you with horror.

0:53:030:53:06

But, our force, we comrades cannot be seen to fight among ourselves.

0:53:060:53:10

My, but you are silky and oiled, boy.

0:53:120:53:15

However, I'm not in your force no more

0:53:150:53:19

and even were I still, I would not call you my brother-man.

0:53:190:53:24

Then, sir, I think Inspector Drummond must have his men

0:53:240:53:26

escort you from these premises.

0:53:260:53:29

Mr Drummond.

0:53:290:53:30

You men, with me.

0:53:300:53:32

Gustus.

0:53:330:53:34

Good afternoon, Mr Dove.

0:53:490:53:51

Inspector Drummond, my name is Caitlin Swift,

0:53:570:54:01

and I wish to surrender myself to the police.

0:54:010:54:04

RAISED VOICES

0:54:040:54:05

My name is Nathaniel Croker...

0:54:100:54:13

..and I too wish to surrender myself to the police.

0:54:150:54:18

For what crime?

0:54:180:54:20

I'm sorry, Gustus.

0:54:220:54:24

I do not know you, sir.

0:54:260:54:27

Which crime?

0:54:300:54:32

Murder. PEOPLE TALK

RAISED VOICES

0:55:040:55:07

He known to you, is he, Mr Dove?

0:55:110:55:14

He familiar?

0:55:140:55:16

I do not know this man.

0:55:180:55:20

Get 'em in. Men!

0:55:270:55:29

Get them in, all of them! Now!

0:55:300:55:33

Mathilda? What is it? What do you do?

0:55:350:55:38

Father, I think you must come.

0:55:380:55:40

RAISED VOICES

0:55:430:55:45

Just follow procedures, Mr Drummond.

0:55:460:55:48

0:55:480:55:51

Yes, sir.

0:55:510:55:53

Renshaw! Yes, sir.

0:55:530:55:56

You keep away! Right?

0:55:560:55:58

You keep away. Nathaniel.

0:55:580:56:01

Allow it.

0:56:010:56:03

They must see him.

0:56:030:56:05

Who is this boy? Gustus.

0:56:290:56:33

Please.

0:56:330:56:35

You know.

0:56:350:56:36

Yes, Mr Dove.

0:56:380:56:40

You know. GUN COCKS

0:56:400:56:42

I'll kill you, you son of a bitch. It is not worth the blood.

0:56:420:56:45

You taught him...

0:56:470:56:49

that he was the beast, did you not?

0:56:490:56:52

And that make you more able to suppress and disguise

0:56:530:56:56

your own monstrosity?

0:56:560:56:58

Take control of your station house, Inspector!

0:56:590:57:03

Barely have I known you ten minutes, boy,

0:57:030:57:06

and already the sound of your voice makes me want to shit!

Edmund.

Samuel Drummond.

0:57:220:57:24

You see, your station house has been overtaken by its prisoners.

0:57:240:57:28

You are not to blame. You were overwhelmed, at gunpoint...

0:57:300:57:34

..and your captors then locked down the station house around you.

0:57:380:57:41

RAISED VOICES

0:58:030:58:05

I knew chaos and horror long before I came to Whitechapel.

0:58:070:58:11

Augustus knew it all.

0:58:120:58:14

You're going to leave her be, Drummond.

0:58:140:58:16

Caitlin! Think of what you and I once found.

0:58:160:58:19

You are needed here, Mr Reid.

Police. H Division.
