0:00:02 > 0:00:03This programme contains some violent scenes
0:00:03 > 0:00:05The assassin we sent to kill Delaney is dead.
0:00:05 > 0:00:06The British want you dead.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09I stitch you up and you give me information.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13I will cede sovereignty of Nootka Sound to whichever nation
0:00:13 > 0:00:15offers me their monopoly.
0:00:15 > 0:00:16All the tea in China.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19As Horace Delaney's widow, I also own half of the trading post
0:00:19 > 0:00:23at Nootka Sound. And I believe Nootka is of value to the King.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25If you are in contact with the King,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27then you are already in grave danger.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31I hope I can trust you to keep the secrets of the past buried.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34I am your sister. Let all else lie.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37You take the minutes and you log every meeting.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39I want that information.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43You think your father's kid feeds himself?
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Now you're back, I want payment.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- We were given your name. - I am not a courtesan.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Give her to me!
0:00:51 > 0:00:53There appears to have been a misunderstanding.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55She stabbed the Duke of Richmond.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58They knew she was not a whore and that she would fight back.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00And now they have a good reason to come for her.
0:01:04 > 0:01:10This programme contains some strong language and some scenes of a sexual nature
0:02:42 > 0:02:45BIRDSONG
0:02:45 > 0:02:47FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Open this door, by order of the King!
0:02:58 > 0:03:00James! James! They are here! James, for God's sake!
0:03:03 > 0:03:04What's happening?!
0:03:05 > 0:03:08They will want you to sign their papers or you will hang.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Hang for what? Saving my honour?!
0:03:10 > 0:03:13You must hold out. You will hold out. Look at me.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15These men are from the Crown. I will warn the East India
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- and they will free you. - What are you talking about?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21You must go with them now. I will be with you when you're inside
0:03:21 > 0:03:23and you will know it.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24Hold out.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Hello! Come with us!
0:03:34 > 0:03:36I got another one for ya!
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Aren't you a pretty one?!
0:03:59 > 0:04:00Come on!
0:04:05 > 0:04:07WHIMPERING
0:04:08 > 0:04:11This is allocated. The famous Lorna Bow.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Think of the queue that'll form.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17An actress, no less.
0:04:18 > 0:04:23No. No! Don't leave me! No, please!
0:04:31 > 0:04:32You will answer to God for this.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Probably. And for the many other evil tasks
0:04:35 > 0:04:38I have carried out for the King of England.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42DOOR SLAMS & LOCK TURNS
0:04:42 > 0:04:43And the Prince Regent.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46There was a misunderstanding. The Duke was given the wrong name.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Each ribbon represents a reason not to comply.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54As each ribbon is untied, a reason disappears.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57Let me explain.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Under English law, as Delaney's wife, you have the legal right
0:05:01 > 0:05:07to contest his will, on the grounds of insanity.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11There's a copy of a marriage certificate. Horace Delaney.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15A legal precedent from 1755.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Now, that is an application to contest the will,
0:05:18 > 0:05:21which we've already drawn up. The granting of leave
0:05:21 > 0:05:23for that application, by King's Counsel.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24Bravo.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28And the successful outcome of that application,
0:05:28 > 0:05:31dated one month from now.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Congratulations.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38And finally...
0:05:39 > 0:05:42..an agreement to assign your share of the Nootka trading post,
0:05:42 > 0:05:45smoke house and tanning factory to the possession of the British Crown.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Or...
0:06:22 > 0:06:24..a conviction for attempted murder, for which you hang.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31No, this really is terribly simple.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Exposed as you are, in this hell.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37You're weak. Men of all kinds.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40Your hands shackled.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44A key and a pen are your only weapons.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47So, you take this pen in your hand, you sign your name
0:06:47 > 0:06:51and I turn the key and you dress and you leave...
0:06:56 > 0:06:59..with £1,000 for your trouble.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13I have been told...
0:07:13 > 0:07:15to await a better offer.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22James said...
0:07:22 > 0:07:24James?! Oh, James. James.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32My God. I see. So soon.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34You can go.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45DOOR UNLOCKED
0:07:45 > 0:07:48DOOR SLAMMED & LOCK TURNED
0:07:48 > 0:07:50My wife is a strange fish.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54I talk to her about my work, when we sit up in bed at night.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00Her belief is that James Delaney is in league with Satan.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03I believe that to be true, too.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11So, as we...explore ways
0:08:11 > 0:08:14to make you change your mind...
0:08:16 > 0:08:18..these next few hours...
0:08:23 > 0:08:25..we will be doing God's work.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31Hurry up!
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Miss Bow.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01I can find my own carriage.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02Mr Delaney has business...
0:09:03 > 0:09:06..but he instructed me to make sure you get home safely.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Did he say "home"?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10I don't quite recall.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Miss Bow, if you please.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23We had a fucking agreement!
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Common cause!
0:09:26 > 0:09:30I saw the papers with my own eyes. The assignation they were trying to
0:09:30 > 0:09:33make her sign gave Nootka to the Crown and only the Crown.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- Fucking snakes!- If we didn't have so much shit on the Duke of Richmond,
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- they would have had her. - Who tipped you off?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Anonymous note.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Delaney.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46He's turning London into his own private bear pit.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50And what are we, the bear or the dogs?
0:09:53 > 0:09:54Shit!
0:09:56 > 0:10:01And that fat pig Prince Prinny plays the fool,
0:10:01 > 0:10:03so he can better play the game.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08I'll pop him. I swear to God.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11I'll burst him, like a pig's bladder.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Get a message to Coop.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Tell him we withdraw our negotiators from the India talks.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27The Prince Regent has decided to decline your offer.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31- For crying out loud, Godders. - He will not offer you a monopoly.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39So...
0:10:41 > 0:10:43..doesn't that mean the game is up, James?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46No, it's just begun.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47What else?
0:10:48 > 0:10:49The hand was raised.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54They talked about gunpowder.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58DELANEY GRUNTS
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Pettifer said if Delaney Trading Company wanted to trade
0:11:02 > 0:11:04with the Indians at Nootka,
0:11:04 > 0:11:08the only merchandise you could possibly use would be gunpowder.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Wilton pointed out that in times of war,
0:11:11 > 0:11:13the production of gunpowder is controlled by the Crown.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21You will not be granted a licence to purchase.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Your name is already on a blacklist.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30You will not get a single grain anywhere in England.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36So, now...
0:11:38 > 0:11:39..is the game up?
0:11:43 > 0:11:47When they speak of you, there is such hatred now.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Before, they laughed.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51They stopped laughing out there. That's good.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55That's a good thing, Godders.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00James.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08For God's sake.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11The Art Of War.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14Poor motive,
0:12:14 > 0:12:16poor strategy...
0:12:18 > 0:12:20..poor outcome.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28They can't kill you, but they will crucify your name...
0:12:30 > 0:12:33..and crucify all those around you.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40But I don't keep anybody around me that doesn't deserve what they get.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Does that include me?
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Yes, that includes you.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Only half a man.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59EXPLOSION / CROWD GASPS
0:12:59 > 0:13:01APPLAUSE
0:13:01 > 0:13:02Thank you.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08Now, finally, here, I'm introducing chlorine gas
0:13:08 > 0:13:10to a solution of sal ammoniac.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Ladies, beware, these are corrosive substances.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16They will ravage your dresses.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22So, the combination produces a yellow, oily fluid that will
0:13:22 > 0:13:26explode with sunlight or heat or mere motion.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32In order to show you most simply and safely its explosive effect,
0:13:32 > 0:13:34I use this instrument...
0:13:36 > 0:13:37..to transfer...
0:13:39 > 0:13:41..very carefully...
0:13:46 > 0:13:47..just a few drops.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53And, again, beware.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Use your hand to protect your eyes.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00The vessel is often shattered to atoms, by sheer force.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09EXPLOSION
0:14:09 > 0:14:10GASPING
0:14:10 > 0:14:11APPLAUSE
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- Terrific!- Magnificent!
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Mr Cholmondeley.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28I cancelled my appointment.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Blamed a headache.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Exposure to excitable chemical fumes, I imagine.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37As a doctor, I ought to make sure you're fully recovered.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42Something in your eye.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47Do you have a husband?
0:14:47 > 0:14:48Dead.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49Thank God.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52What did he look like?
0:14:52 > 0:14:54A toad.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02I have a question.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04It concerns chemistry.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06I hope now is not inconvenient.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Wait!
0:15:12 > 0:15:15I wrote a fucking book about chemistry.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18If you've got any questions about chemistry, then read that.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21I already did. I was very impressed. That's why I'm here.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25I have a use for you.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29You know, semen not ejaculated at the point of passion
0:15:29 > 0:15:31turns to poison and narrows the mind.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Eventually, you become an ape.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37So, ejaculate.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Then, we can talk of business.
0:15:43 > 0:15:44Is that gold?
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Has the semen yet turned to poison?
0:15:55 > 0:15:59I believe you invented a chemical process for verification.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01Yeah.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07So, what exactly is it you would use me for?
0:16:08 > 0:16:11THUNDER RUMBLES
0:16:25 > 0:16:27KEY JANGLES IN LOCK
0:16:34 > 0:16:38I got a carpenter to take down those boards and put up a new door.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42You should try a key next time.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45They've turned a few things over.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46We should bill the King.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48- She's back, yes?- Aye.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50How does she seem?
0:16:50 > 0:16:51The same.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53But then, she's an actress.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58You knew they were coming to take her, didn't you?
0:16:58 > 0:17:00All part of the plan.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02I have things to do.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09We're all just part of the plan, aren't we, sir?
0:17:09 > 0:17:10Buy her some flowers.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14Flowers.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22You said I'm a weakness.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26I wasn't weak.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29I will fix that.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31I'll get Brace to fix that.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36In the cell, I called you "James".
0:17:37 > 0:17:39I think that surprised them most.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Certainly surprised me.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44If your intervention had been ten minutes later,
0:17:44 > 0:17:46I would have been raped.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50But the consequence for you was worth the risk to me, yes?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53You see me as I am.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56All of those that I gather are damned.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58It's just part of a company policy of mine.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02Perhaps now you will understand why it is better for you to leave
0:18:02 > 0:18:04and let this business run its course.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Is that why you let it happen? To teach me a lesson?
0:18:07 > 0:18:10No. That was to teach the King a lesson. And the Company.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14But if you're absolutely resolute on staying...
0:18:15 > 0:18:19..then I may agree to incorporate you into the organisation.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Oh.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23Oh, I see.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25I've passed a test.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26No.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31I will join the League of the Damned.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33A group of people who are drawn together,
0:18:33 > 0:18:36with a willingness to do exactly as I say.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44- We are the ships, you are the river.- Mm.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51First, I need you to bring me a trunk
0:18:51 > 0:18:52full of my father's belongings.
0:18:57 > 0:19:02I'm actually very tired, Mr Delaney.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Your conspiracies have made it a very tiring day.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12I'll fix that. Sleep on it.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04PANTING
0:21:00 > 0:21:01Deliver us from evil,
0:21:01 > 0:21:03for thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory,
0:21:03 > 0:21:05for ever and ever. Amen.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13John Company and the King are back at war.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15The resolution again recedes.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18Fuck him!
0:21:20 > 0:21:21You woke me.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Please don't. Your coat's all wet.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39And you're wet, too.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Who's in there?
0:21:46 > 0:21:47Who's in there?
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Where he leads, I will follow.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27COCK CROWS
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Where the fuck are we?
0:23:07 > 0:23:08My new factory.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14I flagged him down at St Pancras.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16I told him two shillings. I guessed you'd pay.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24Hold on.
0:23:32 > 0:23:33Nitrous oxide.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36They call it "laughing gas".
0:23:36 > 0:23:40I provide it for entertainment at society parties.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41It's good money.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Last night, it was, eh...
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Oh, fuck, I can hardly remember.
0:23:48 > 0:23:53Duck hunters and whores dressed as ducks...I think.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55I had to partake of my own supply, just to get through it.
0:23:55 > 0:23:56Pweugh!
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Anyway....show me this cow shit.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12Hmm..
0:24:14 > 0:24:15Pigeon shit?
0:24:17 > 0:24:19COOING
0:24:24 > 0:24:25Yeah, it's better.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Now...wood.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31'Some birch, but it is mostly hazel.'
0:24:33 > 0:24:34Oak is better.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37There's not enough oak on the heath, dear boy.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39So, buy offcuts from the shipyard.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Nothing we use can be purchased openly.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46What about piss?
0:24:46 > 0:24:47I'm sorry?
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Human urine's by far the best for leaching the ash.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Especially if there are traces of alcohol.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55How many humans live here?
0:24:55 > 0:24:56Three.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- Where are they, by the way? - I sent them away this morning.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Do you own this farm?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Ask no more questions now and talk to me only of chemistry.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16My simple question is, is it possible to achieve it here?
0:25:18 > 0:25:20If you mix the pigeon shit and the cow shit
0:25:20 > 0:25:24at a ratio of around 60:40 in favour of the pigeon.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25I'd have to do tests.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Then, if you burnt all that stack of wood today,
0:25:28 > 0:25:30you could soak the ash in 50 gallons of human piss
0:25:30 > 0:25:33and leave it for a minimum of a year. Then, my friend,
0:25:33 > 0:25:35you would, indeed, have gunpowder.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38I don't have a year.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Well, I have a theory that the introduction of several barrels
0:25:40 > 0:25:43of saltpetre that have already been refined at the start of the process
0:25:43 > 0:25:46can cut the leaching stage down to four weeks.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48"Theory"?
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Yes, but my theories are always right.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55As far as I know, there is only one place where one can find
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- refined saltpetre.- Two.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03The bat caves of Burma, where the bat shit refines itself,
0:26:03 > 0:26:06or the warehouse of the East India Company at Wapping Wall.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Except, they're not selling, at the moment.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11War going on.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Two wars, actually.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Or have we already won one of them?
0:26:18 > 0:26:20You're hired, Mr Cholmondeley.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24And as for your saltpetre, I will get it for you.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46Hm?
0:28:34 > 0:28:36LIQUID DRIPPING
0:28:49 > 0:28:50He's the one.
0:29:01 > 0:29:02METALLIC SLIDING
0:29:02 > 0:29:03MAN SCREAMS
0:29:12 > 0:29:14GROANING
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Who are you?
0:30:04 > 0:30:07I told your friends...
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Nootka Sound is not for sale.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30SCREAMS
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Come on, then.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37SCREAMING
0:32:19 > 0:32:21How the hell can you walk around a house this old
0:32:21 > 0:32:22without making a noise?
0:32:22 > 0:32:25Because I own it, and I know every creak in it
0:32:25 > 0:32:28and I can move around it without waking it up.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33When was the last time you set foot inside a church, sir?
0:32:40 > 0:32:44The lady asked me to wake her because she had a costume fitting.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47I guessed you wouldn't want her going out.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50No, the lady is free to come and go as she pleases.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53The Crown will protect her from the Company.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56And the Company will protect her from the Crown.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03- And you are the joint in the seesaw.- Mm.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06By the way, I found your red roses in the mud
0:33:06 > 0:33:09when I threw out the oyster shells.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12- Who's this? - Who the hell's what?
0:33:12 > 0:33:16Brace, do not believe that I will not know
0:33:16 > 0:33:18when you reseal my letters.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Countess Musgrove is, let me think, sir...
0:33:24 > 0:33:291,550 places above you in the social hierarchy of London.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33Her husband is a little, fat German prick and she fucks...
0:33:34 > 0:33:35You forgot to wake me.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Fucks what, Brace?
0:33:40 > 0:33:45Countess Musgrove has a reputation as a lady of uncertain origin, sir,
0:33:45 > 0:33:49who in the past used her beauty to beguile men of great influence,
0:33:49 > 0:33:53thereby improving her position in society.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57She also allows and even encourages the closed and turning waltz.
0:34:00 > 0:34:01A ball.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05And why would she invite a man who cannot dance?
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Perhaps she likes oddities and curiosities.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13Or if she knows you're in the house in the light,
0:34:13 > 0:34:17you cannot be outside lurking in the garden in the dark scaring people.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22There is another letter, sir.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Perhaps related to the first.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27- This came from the same post? - Aye, sir.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34The Americans. Wanting a place on the seesaw.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43Well, it is an invitation for two. Miss Bow?
0:34:45 > 0:34:46Do you dance?
0:35:05 > 0:35:06Where is she?
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Where's Helga?
0:35:10 > 0:35:11I'll get her.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Winter said you looked impressed.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30I am.
0:35:33 > 0:35:34Oysters mask the smell of sex.
0:35:41 > 0:35:42You like that.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Mm.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49Yes, I might have a use for that, actually.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52You may need to bring a couple of girls to the Dolphin with you.
0:35:52 > 0:35:53Now, shut for the evening.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57You're busy tonight.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Right, a request to hire men and boats to collect barrels
0:36:03 > 0:36:05from the Prospect of Whitby pub
0:36:05 > 0:36:09and ferry them up the Fleet River to Hampstead.
0:36:09 > 0:36:10- Mm-hm.- Mm-hm.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Barrels will contain...
0:36:13 > 0:36:14CHUCKLES
0:36:14 > 0:36:16..whores' urine.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20And that of the customers. Thruppence a barrel.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22I want you to sign that right now
0:36:22 > 0:36:24before whatever it is in your blood wears off.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29And I'm planning a robbery.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33At last. Back in the world of reason and rationality.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35Who are we going to rob?
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Elizabeth.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Violet.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16- And Mary.- Thank you so much.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19Now, if you will excuse me, ladies.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Come on.
0:38:09 > 0:38:10Posy for the lady?
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Much obliged, kind sir.
0:38:21 > 0:38:22For you.
0:38:24 > 0:38:29There's other business afoot tonight, none of which concerns you.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05Miss Lorna Bow.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11Mrs Lorna Delaney.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13And Mr James Delaney.
0:39:16 > 0:39:20Judging by the horror on the faces of the ladies, you are known.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Yes, and judging by the shame on the face of some of the men,
0:39:22 > 0:39:23so are you.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Oh, if only I had been a whore,
0:39:25 > 0:39:27I might have been as rich as Countess Musgrove,
0:39:27 > 0:39:29who I presume is that creature.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40Hello. Not hello.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44- Who the hell is that? - I've no idea.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10And who the hell was that?
0:40:10 > 0:40:13LAUGHTER
0:40:39 > 0:40:42- Why are you here? - Because I was invited. You?
0:40:42 > 0:40:46Because my husband was invited. He has business of theirs in Berlin.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50Ah, but it is a bit unexpected, isn't it? It's unusual.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52I knew that when you saw me, you would come to me
0:40:52 > 0:40:54and I realise that is how it always is.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58- You always drive me...- It is a bit unexpected that we were both invited, is it not?
0:41:00 > 0:41:02That we were invited, both together.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06And if they invited us both, then they probably know.
0:41:06 > 0:41:07Who knows?
0:41:09 > 0:41:10Who knows?
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Our American friends.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16Ah! You feel me, don't you, when I break in?
0:41:16 > 0:41:19- No.- Yes, you do.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21- No.- You do. You feel me.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24And I could come more often, but I spare you.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Then spare me.
0:41:29 > 0:41:30I went to a doctor,
0:41:30 > 0:41:33he took me to a priest who had been to a mission in Africa.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37- Yes, what did he say? - He said that you visit as animals.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41He couldn't even look at me after I'd told him.
0:41:41 > 0:41:46When I left England, I thought I was mad,
0:41:46 > 0:41:49but they taught me how to use it. Now it's a gift.
0:41:50 > 0:41:51It's the devil.
0:41:53 > 0:41:58Now, amongst other things, I am also a doctor.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00And I'd say the lady is in danger
0:42:00 > 0:42:02of catching more than just a chill out here.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Your half-sister. Am I right?
0:42:09 > 0:42:10WHISTLES
0:42:13 > 0:42:17You're quite a prize, Mr Delaney, quite a prize.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22I was told what you did to our first resort.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Opened him up like a bull.
0:42:27 > 0:42:28Nice work.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Now, I make no moral judgments.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37And besides, Carlsbad said to say that you can have her.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41You can have her as part of the deal.
0:42:41 > 0:42:42Part of our second offering.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45So why don't you just take her?
0:42:47 > 0:42:48Just take her with you.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50No more hiding.
0:42:52 > 0:42:56We can guarantee you safe passage, anonymity...
0:42:57 > 0:42:58..new worlds.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01But look, if you don't want to deal with the obstacle,
0:43:01 > 0:43:03we can certainly take care of that for you.
0:43:03 > 0:43:07Say her husband gets drunk. No surprise. Falls from a bridge
0:43:07 > 0:43:08or something.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12Let me just make the point...
0:43:12 > 0:43:15from an American point of view.
0:43:16 > 0:43:21Love is now part of the deal that we are offering
0:43:21 > 0:43:25over and above that which is on offer from your countrymen.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27Hm?
0:43:30 > 0:43:32I'll leave that with you.
0:43:37 > 0:43:40And don't worry how we know so much. Hm?
0:43:42 > 0:43:43We just know so much.
0:44:19 > 0:44:23I were stowed'way from India on the Fairlie.
0:44:23 > 0:44:27And I'm full with thirst and the temptations of the Tropics
0:44:27 > 0:44:29and have a great need to ease 'em.
0:45:04 > 0:45:07Pearl's good, isn't she?
0:45:34 > 0:45:37Get in, come on, get in.
0:46:10 > 0:46:12Good evening.
0:46:13 > 0:46:16I'm just a complete stranger, plying my wares,
0:46:16 > 0:46:20offering the gift of hysteria before the night is over.
0:46:27 > 0:46:29That stranger that you've never met,
0:46:29 > 0:46:32is he part of your League of the Damned?
0:46:36 > 0:46:38Well, we could at least try?
0:46:40 > 0:46:42Sorry.
0:46:42 > 0:46:44- Would you like to dance?- No.
0:46:49 > 0:46:52Careful. Careful.
0:46:52 > 0:46:53He said a few drops.
0:46:53 > 0:46:55Give it here. Give it here.
0:46:57 > 0:46:58Get back. Get back. Get back.
0:47:05 > 0:47:07Get the saltpetre!
0:47:07 > 0:47:09Keep moving.
0:47:12 > 0:47:14Keep moving. Two more.
0:47:17 > 0:47:18Come on, keep moving.
0:47:18 > 0:47:20Right. Come on, go, go, go, go, go!
0:47:20 > 0:47:23Move, move! Get out! Go!
0:47:39 > 0:47:41You know James Delaney?
0:47:41 > 0:47:43No.
0:47:43 > 0:47:48What? You mean in the way that no-one really knows James Delaney?
0:47:49 > 0:47:52- Yes.- I've only not known James a little while.
0:47:52 > 0:47:56But I have the feeling you've not known him a little longer.
0:47:59 > 0:48:01- We were children...- Oh!
0:48:05 > 0:48:07Thank you.
0:48:08 > 0:48:12If I were to have intentions regarding James,
0:48:12 > 0:48:13would I need to be wary of you?
0:48:20 > 0:48:23No civilised woman would have intentions regarding him.
0:48:25 > 0:48:28And you would not need to be wary of me.
0:48:28 > 0:48:29We have the same father.
0:48:48 > 0:48:52You are in every way an unopened box.
0:48:54 > 0:48:58Just when I think it's empty, I hear a tiger roaring inside it.
0:49:00 > 0:49:04I want you to bring the trunk with my father's belongings tomorrow.
0:49:05 > 0:49:07I thought you might have gone.
0:49:10 > 0:49:12Oh, you mean you waited? For me?
0:49:12 > 0:49:14No...
0:49:14 > 0:49:17I wanted to finish my pipe.
0:49:17 > 0:49:20I want you to bring my father's possessions tomorrow
0:49:20 > 0:49:24- or our association is finished. - James Delaney?
0:49:25 > 0:49:28The Countess Musgrove.
0:49:28 > 0:49:30I don't dance.
0:49:30 > 0:49:32A gentleman called Colonnade told me that you do.
0:49:39 > 0:49:42As hostess, I thought I would dance the outrageous dance
0:49:42 > 0:49:45with an outrageous guest.
0:49:45 > 0:49:46Yet I do not dance, madam.
0:49:47 > 0:49:50Well, then we shall disappear. Come on.
0:49:52 > 0:49:55The Countess Musgrove.
0:49:58 > 0:50:00Just do as I do and all will be well.
0:50:05 > 0:50:11As a rule, I do this trick with a beautiful woman...
0:50:11 > 0:50:14- ALL:- Ooh!
0:50:14 > 0:50:16..and a chimpanzee.
0:50:17 > 0:50:23In the absence of a chimpanzee, a gorilla will have to do.
0:50:23 > 0:50:25JEERING AND LAUGHTER
0:50:28 > 0:50:31Please, madam, please, sir,
0:50:31 > 0:50:33take a deep breath...
0:50:36 > 0:50:39..and step into the beyond.
0:50:56 > 0:50:59One wonders if they will ever be seen again!
0:51:03 > 0:51:05I did my research on you.
0:51:05 > 0:51:07Genevieve Decoux.
0:51:07 > 0:51:09From New Orleans.
0:51:09 > 0:51:11Please, Mr Delaney, we do not have much time.
0:51:13 > 0:51:15You sent the giant to kill me?
0:51:15 > 0:51:18The outcome persuaded us you should be courted instead.
0:51:19 > 0:51:23What will the gorilla do with the lady, one wonders.
0:51:23 > 0:51:24Eat her, perhaps!
0:51:28 > 0:51:31Oh, where did they go?
0:51:31 > 0:51:35Countess, I know this is business.
0:51:35 > 0:51:36And I think I know who you are.
0:51:38 > 0:51:39But know this.
0:51:40 > 0:51:43I control the timing of this.
0:51:43 > 0:51:45At all times your life is in our hands.
0:51:45 > 0:51:47As is your name in mine.
0:51:47 > 0:51:49Carlsbad.
0:51:54 > 0:51:57Oh, it seems we have one...
0:51:57 > 0:51:59but not the other...
0:51:59 > 0:52:03- Where is my gorilla? - Get back in there, Lady Musgrove,
0:52:03 > 0:52:06and find that humping gorilla of yours.
0:52:09 > 0:52:13- I was told you wanted tea. A monopoly.- Hm.
0:52:13 > 0:52:15- Fanciful, of course.- Hm.
0:52:17 > 0:52:21- I want to meet with the Embassy in Paris.- Oh, no.
0:52:21 > 0:52:24You assign to the United States, where someone will kill you.
0:52:24 > 0:52:28This time, we will be more artful.
0:52:28 > 0:52:31Hm! You will need to be.
0:52:38 > 0:52:41Your own sister. Oh, goodness!
0:53:24 > 0:53:26Is he here?
0:53:28 > 0:53:29Is this real?
0:53:29 > 0:53:32Why's he here? Is it him? You should get away.
0:53:34 > 0:53:35Why is he here?
0:53:51 > 0:53:53You fu...you fucked her!
0:53:54 > 0:53:56He fucked her.
0:53:56 > 0:53:57He fucked her!
0:53:59 > 0:54:00He fu...
0:54:27 > 0:54:29You need some air.
0:54:31 > 0:54:33James. Please, don't.
0:54:48 > 0:54:49James?
0:54:50 > 0:54:52James?
0:54:52 > 0:54:55You call this thing James?
0:54:59 > 0:55:02You don't call him anything but nigger!
0:55:08 > 0:55:10You fucked her.
0:55:10 > 0:55:14And you lay your hands on me in MY society!
0:55:18 > 0:55:20I know I will have my satisfaction.
0:55:21 > 0:55:23I declare it!
0:55:24 > 0:55:27I challenge James Delaney to a duel.
0:55:28 > 0:55:31At dawn...to the death.
0:55:33 > 0:55:35To the death.
0:55:35 > 0:55:36Do you accept?
0:55:39 > 0:55:41Do you accept?!
