0:05:09 > 0:05:12< Join me on the stage!

0:05:18 > 0:05:21The old wine tastes the sweetest!

0:05:21 > 0:05:24LOUD MERRIMENT

0:05:51 > 0:05:53One and two, guv.

0:05:53 > 0:05:59UPPER-CLASS ACCENT: What? ..Oh, yes, of course. It's Rupert's round.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02Rupert, old boy - it's one and two.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09This damn whore's lifted my purse.

0:06:09 > 0:06:14What you talkin' about? Up and over with her!

0:06:14 > 0:06:17No! No! No! Let me go!

0:06:20 > 0:06:22Put me down!

0:06:22 > 0:06:26Put her down. She's not a bloody money box!

0:06:30 > 0:06:33Put me down! Let me down!

0:06:36 > 0:06:40Give me a shilling anyway... Oh!

0:06:40 > 0:06:44Give it to me! Give it to me! Shut up!

0:06:44 > 0:06:46Let me go!

0:06:46 > 0:06:49Let me go! Put me down!

0:06:49 > 0:06:52Let me go! Oh!

0:06:52 > 0:06:55Let me down!

0:06:55 > 0:06:58No-one steals in my pub... except me.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00You!

0:07:00 > 0:07:07I could tell the coppers about you and your pub - about what's going on upstairs!

0:07:10 > 0:07:12What did you say?

0:07:14 > 0:07:19Nothing, Mr Steiner. I didn't say nothing. Honest, Mr Steiner!

0:07:19 > 0:07:25You keep that big mouth of yours shut, else I'll maybe have you carved!

0:07:27 > 0:07:32'Ave me carved? Like you did poor Emma Smith? You didn't think I knew.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34Wouldn't the coppers... Oh!

0:07:35 > 0:07:41You don't scare me, Steiner! I'll have you. I'll have you!

0:07:52 > 0:07:56Dick! Hey, Dick. Take over. I'm going out.

0:08:04 > 0:08:08SHE HUMS "TA-RA-RA-BOOM-DE-AY"

0:08:44 > 0:08:47SHE SCREAMS

0:08:59 > 0:09:02Disgusting!

0:09:05 > 0:09:07HE TUTS

0:09:10 > 0:09:15- Mrs Hudson, where have you put my confounded tobacco?- (..Revolting!)

0:09:15 > 0:09:20- Try your violin case, Mr Holmes. > - Thank you, Mrs Hudson.

0:09:20 > 0:09:21My God!

0:09:21 > 0:09:26- A member of the medical profession caught red-handed, Dr Watson?- What?

0:09:26 > 0:09:29Your indignation implies familiarity.

0:09:29 > 0:09:37My dear Holmes, you cannot think me familiar with a maniac who stabs a woman in the street in Whitechapel!

0:09:37 > 0:09:45- What was the name of the prostitute?- Polly Nichols. ..How did you know she was a prostitute?

0:09:45 > 0:09:49- Where is my damn pipe? - You haven't seen a newspaper!

0:09:49 > 0:09:54The stop press of the third edition of the Times is printed at 3.30am.

0:09:54 > 0:09:58The news must have come in at about 3am.

0:09:58 > 0:10:03In the street, her body cannot have remained undiscovered for long,

0:10:03 > 0:10:07so I deduce that it happened about 1am.

0:10:07 > 0:10:11It doesn't explain how you knew she was a prostitute.

0:10:11 > 0:10:18No respectable woman would be out alone in Whitechapel at that hour, so she was not respectable.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22You make it seem so simple.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24Holmes.

0:10:24 > 0:10:31- There was an identical murder of a woman in Whitechapel three days ago.- A second murder!

0:10:31 > 0:10:35- That IS interesting.- Why? - Because it IS the second murder.

0:10:35 > 0:10:39- Now, would you mind standing up?- Why?

0:10:39 > 0:10:46Once the impossible is eliminated, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the solution.

0:10:46 > 0:10:50- And?- Therefore, you are sitting on my pipe.- Mm?

0:10:58 > 0:11:04- Incredible!- Elementary, my dear Watson. And now...Whitechapel!

0:11:22 > 0:11:25- (Old cow!)- Who's that?

0:11:26 > 0:11:30- It's me - Annie Chapman! - What do you want?

0:11:30 > 0:11:34What do you think I want? I live here, don't I?

0:11:34 > 0:11:37Not unless you pays your rent!

0:11:37 > 0:11:42- I'll give it you in the morning! - Give it me now or you don't come in!

0:11:42 > 0:11:47I ain't got it on me. But I'll get it in the morning, in me new bonnet.

0:11:47 > 0:11:50You always find money for bonnets

0:11:50 > 0:11:55but paying your rent's a different matter, innit?

0:11:55 > 0:11:59I'll give it you in the morning! (Old cow!)

0:12:01 > 0:12:03Let me in!

0:12:05 > 0:12:09You old cow! You nearly ruined me new bonnet!

0:12:09 > 0:12:15- Serves you right! Shove off out of it!- Yeah, and you know what YOU can shove!

0:12:30 > 0:12:33DOG BARKS

0:12:56 > 0:13:00Hello, darling. Feeling naughty?

0:13:00 > 0:13:03Move along. Go on there, now. Go on.

0:13:08 > 0:13:14- Wotcher, Cathy. Any luck?- No. I dunno what's the matter with the men.

0:13:14 > 0:13:19Lend us the price of a bed for the night? I've been slung out me room.

0:13:19 > 0:13:26Haven't even earned me old man's beer money yet. He's sitting with his tongue hanging out!

0:13:26 > 0:13:30- Old cow.- Don't you call me an old cow.

0:13:54 > 0:13:58- Hello, Chunky!- Hello, Annie. You're out late.

0:13:58 > 0:14:05- I've been thrown out me place.- Why? - I knocked her for the rent. - You'll find somewhere.

0:14:05 > 0:14:10I need some money first. 'Ere, you don't fancy four penn'orth, do you?

0:14:10 > 0:14:13Sorry. Don't fancy it tonight.

0:14:15 > 0:14:20What about you? Fancy cuddling something live for a change?

0:14:24 > 0:14:31- Chunky...- Yes, Annie? - You can have it for nothing. I'm feeling real lonely tonight.

0:14:31 > 0:14:35No, thanks, love. I'm too busy, honest.

0:14:35 > 0:14:36Oh.

0:14:36 > 0:14:39Oh, well.

0:14:46 > 0:14:50Mind you don't let that knife slip!

0:15:20 > 0:15:23SHE SCREAMS LOUDLY

0:15:26 > 0:15:29SCREAM IS CUT SHORT

0:15:30 > 0:15:33DOG BARKS

0:15:44 > 0:15:47HORSE'S HOOVES

0:15:50 > 0:15:54Inspector Lestrade! I've found something!

0:16:04 > 0:16:08No. Annie Chapman's purse was found with her body.

0:16:13 > 0:16:16LIQUID BUBBLES GENTLY

0:16:19 > 0:16:23"Police baffled. Jack the Ripper vanished into thin air."

0:16:23 > 0:16:28The desperate authorities will come running to Baker Street.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31- BELL RINGS They're here!- But not running.

0:16:31 > 0:16:36The person who rang does not desire entry. He is deliberately slow.

0:16:36 > 0:16:41- "He"? It might be a woman. - The British postman is not a woman.

0:16:41 > 0:16:45A parcel for you, Mr Holmes. Incredible, Holmes!

0:16:45 > 0:16:48Thank you, Mrs Hudson.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53Postmarked "Whitechapel".

0:17:00 > 0:17:03Ah. Surgical instruments.

0:17:03 > 0:17:07- Who sent those?- What is missing? - The large scalpel.

0:17:07 > 0:17:14The postmortem knife. There's no greater satisfaction than to have a theory confirmed.

0:17:14 > 0:17:18- Do they tell you anything? - First, the obvious.

0:17:18 > 0:17:23- A medical man has fallen on hard times.- Is that obvious?

0:17:23 > 0:17:31- Instruments of one's trade are pawned last.- How do you know they were pawned?- This fleck of white.

0:17:31 > 0:17:36Silver polish. No surgeon would clean his instruments with it.

0:17:36 > 0:17:43Someone else was concerned only with appearance. This is substantiated by these chalk marks.

0:17:43 > 0:17:48- This is the ticket number. - They were stolen, then pawned.

0:17:48 > 0:17:55The pawnbroker would not have put them in a window. It faces south in a narrow street. Business is bad.

0:17:55 > 0:18:03- The pawnbroker is a foreigner. - I cannot see...- On the contrary! You see everything but observe nothing.

0:18:03 > 0:18:09This faded when the sun was at its height, able to shine over the roofs opposite.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12A narrow street, facing south.

0:18:12 > 0:18:18- Business is bad. The case lay undisturbed.- How can you tell the pawnbroker was foreign?

0:18:18 > 0:18:21The 7 is crossed, Continental-style.

0:18:21 > 0:18:28The address is scrawled with difficulty - the writing of a woman who seldom puts pen to paper.

0:18:28 > 0:18:31- A woman?- Undoubtedly a female hand.

0:18:31 > 0:18:37Ah, but I am slow! This has more secrets! Where are my tweezers?

0:18:37 > 0:18:41The velvet on the lid has been added recently.

0:18:45 > 0:18:50- The coat of arms of an elder son of a duke. Bring Burke's Peerage.- Yes.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23- Wait here, cabbie.- Right, sir.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42This way, gentlemen.

0:19:50 > 0:19:54- His grace will be with you in a moment.- Thank you.

0:20:13 > 0:20:17To what do I owe the dubious pleasure of this visit?

0:20:17 > 0:20:23No doubt you will recognise this coat of arms, your grace.

0:20:25 > 0:20:32- Where did you get this?- I believe it to have come from a Whitechapel pawnshop.- Pawnshop.

0:20:32 > 0:20:35No more than I predicted for him.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38- For whom, sir?- My elder son Michael.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40Do you know his present address?

0:20:40 > 0:20:43- He is dead. Oh.- Of what accident?

0:20:43 > 0:20:49Disobedience. From the day he left, against my wishes, he has been dead.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52- You mean disowned. - Was he a doctor, your grace?

0:20:52 > 0:20:56No, but that was his ridiculous ambition.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59The medical profession is honourable.

0:20:59 > 0:21:08To a certain class - not to one of the Osborne family, a man who would have become the 10th Duke of Shires.

0:21:08 > 0:21:15- Any trade must be dishonourable. - A TRADE, sir?! - The servants will show you out.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24Pompous ass!

0:21:42 > 0:21:44Trade, indeed!

0:22:04 > 0:22:08- Did not Burke's Peerage say there were two sons?- Yes.- Give me that.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12How clumsy of me!

0:22:12 > 0:22:14Allow me.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26This belongs to Michael! Where is he?

0:22:26 > 0:22:28I'm afraid I don't know, Lord...

0:22:28 > 0:22:33- Lord Carfax.- Sherlock Holmes. My colleague, Dr Watson.

0:22:33 > 0:22:36Why have you got my brother's instruments?

0:22:36 > 0:22:41They came into my possession in a singular fashion. Your father...

0:22:41 > 0:22:47- My father is still very bitter. - When did you last see your brother?

0:22:47 > 0:22:55Two years ago. He went to study in Paris. These were my gift to him. He wrote a couple of times, then...

0:22:55 > 0:23:03- You tried to trace him?- I went to Paris but he'd left and returned to England.- And you've heard nothing?

0:23:03 > 0:23:06No. ..No.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09- Or seen him?- Of course not.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12Thank you. Good day, Lord Carfax.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15- Come, Watson.- May I?

0:23:16 > 0:23:18Good day.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30- Whitechapel, cabbie.- Yes, sir.

0:23:33 > 0:23:36- Why Whitechapel? - To find the pawnshop.

0:23:36 > 0:23:41The instruments were sent after the murder of the third prostitute.

0:23:41 > 0:23:46A woman wishes to interest me in the crimes. I find that provocative.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08Oi!

0:24:12 > 0:24:15CHILDREN SHOUT: Give us a penny, Mister!

0:24:17 > 0:24:20- COINS CLINK - Here.

0:24:22 > 0:24:25A narrow street facing south.

0:24:25 > 0:24:29- Observe, Watson - a foreign name. - Uncanny.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34BELL TINKLES

0:24:37 > 0:24:39Gentlemen, can I help you?

0:24:39 > 0:24:43I want information on an article you had in your possession.

0:24:45 > 0:24:48- No, I don't think... - Come, Mr Beck.

0:24:48 > 0:24:53Your face reacts faster than your brain. You remember.

0:24:53 > 0:24:57I would like to know who pawned this.

0:24:57 > 0:25:01- Who are you, to demand information? - Sherlock Holmes.

0:25:01 > 0:25:06Who pledged this case? The pawn ticket number was 872.

0:25:07 > 0:25:09Well...

0:25:10 > 0:25:14The name given to me was...Osborne.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17Osborne? That's the name that...

0:25:17 > 0:25:20Angela Osborne.

0:25:20 > 0:25:25- Did the lady leave an address? - "Lady"! Two years ago. Yes.

0:25:25 > 0:25:30The Montague Street Hostel. It's a soup kitchen run by Dr Murray.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33When did you sell this case?

0:25:33 > 0:25:40A few days ago. Yes, yes. It was last Saturday. Ah - the night of the...

0:25:40 > 0:25:44- Of what, sir? - To whom did you sell it?

0:25:44 > 0:25:47A man. I never saw him before.

0:25:47 > 0:25:53- Was the missing instrument here when you sold it?- I think so. - You are sure?

0:25:53 > 0:25:56Of course!

0:25:56 > 0:26:01I have reason to assume a connection between this and your local murders.

0:26:01 > 0:26:07Murders? You don't think I have...? That's slander. Talk like that can get you sued.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10No, sir. It can get YOU hanged!

0:26:10 > 0:26:15Accessory before the fact. Supplying a weapon for murder.

0:26:15 > 0:26:19- A very good day to you, sir. - BELL TINKLES

0:26:22 > 0:26:27- Holmes! Where are you rushing to?- To examine the body of Annie Chapman.

0:26:27 > 0:26:33- The dead girl? Why? - To confirm that the instrument used was a surgeon's scalpel.

0:26:33 > 0:26:35Give us a penny!

0:26:46 > 0:26:49- Lestrade!- Mr Holmes - what are you doing here?

0:26:49 > 0:26:55- The Inspector will help us through officialdom.- Hmm. What do you want?

0:26:55 > 0:26:59- To look at Miss Chapman's body. - Out of the question.

0:26:59 > 0:27:05I will not argue. I hoped to help prevent the fourth murder. Watson.

0:27:05 > 0:27:12- Just a moment. What makes you think he'll do it again?- I think he will, Lestrade. I think he will.

0:27:13 > 0:27:16Oh. All right.

0:27:30 > 0:27:32May I?

0:27:34 > 0:27:38My God! Could a human being have done this?

0:27:38 > 0:27:41- You see, Watson.- Hmm.

0:27:41 > 0:27:46We are right in assuming that two weapons were used?

0:27:46 > 0:27:53That's correct, Mr Holmes. A long, bayonet-type knife and a sharper, more meticulous instrument.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56A razor, or perhaps a surgeon's scalpel?

0:27:56 > 0:27:58A scalpel would be more probable.

0:27:58 > 0:28:04I agree. You know my name, although I do not believe we have met.

0:28:04 > 0:28:11I heard your lecture to the Royal Society on forensic medicine. Brilliant. My name is Murray.

0:28:11 > 0:28:15Dr Murray. You run a soup kitchen nearby.

0:28:15 > 0:28:20A hostel for the destitute. There's plenty of them in Whitechapel.

0:28:20 > 0:28:23I also overwork as a police surgeon.

0:28:23 > 0:28:26- Did you say a bayonet? - I think so.

0:28:26 > 0:28:31Without a doubt. ..I was a military surgeon in Afghanistan.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34Oh, aye.

0:28:34 > 0:28:41- The idea of a bayonet appeals to you.- It narrows things down. Soldiers have bayonets, don't they?

0:28:41 > 0:28:46Plenty of soldiers come down to Whitechapel for fun with the girls.

0:28:46 > 0:28:48I would hardly refer to this as fun.

0:28:48 > 0:28:52Before you arrest the entire garrison of the Tower of London,

0:28:52 > 0:28:55remember a scalpel was also used.

0:28:55 > 0:28:58You can't arrest all the doctors.

0:28:58 > 0:29:01- Discount the military theory.- Why?

0:29:01 > 0:29:05The killer would be covered in blood.

0:29:05 > 0:29:09A soldier would be detected at once.

0:29:09 > 0:29:14No - look for someone living alone close to the scene of the murders,

0:29:14 > 0:29:16who can either return home quickly,

0:29:16 > 0:29:19or hide his outer clothes safely.

0:29:19 > 0:29:24- Prepare yourself for more murders. - You keep saying that!

0:29:24 > 0:29:29There is no motive for the murders so there is no reason to stop.

0:29:29 > 0:29:32That is only conjecture.

0:29:32 > 0:29:39- All circumstantial evidence is conjecture. It is often right. - Mr Holmes is usually right.

0:29:40 > 0:29:43221b Baker Street, please, cabbie.

0:29:52 > 0:29:58- Someone should have sent for us. - Someone has - the woman who sent the case.

0:29:58 > 0:30:05- Why isn't she in the open? - She uses a woman's art - intrigues us to Whitechapel.

0:30:05 > 0:30:10- There is a small service I would like you to do for me.- Yes?

0:30:10 > 0:30:17Visit Murray's hostel to see Angela Osborne. They will say she is not there. Say she is. Create a scene.

0:30:17 > 0:30:20Create a scene? What do I do then?

0:30:20 > 0:30:23Then, Watson, you leave, of course.

0:30:26 > 0:30:32# Guide me, O thou great Redeemer

0:30:32 > 0:30:38# Pilgrim through this barren land

0:30:38 > 0:30:43# I am weak but thou art mighty

0:30:43 > 0:30:49# Hold me with thy powerful hand

0:30:49 > 0:30:52# Bread of heaven

0:30:52 > 0:30:55# Bread of heaven

0:30:55 > 0:30:59# Feed me now and evermore

0:31:01 > 0:31:07# Feed me now and evermore. #

0:31:07 > 0:31:10You have to sing for your supper here.

0:31:10 > 0:31:14# ..the verge of Jordan

0:31:14 > 0:31:18# Bid my anxious fears subside... #

0:31:18 > 0:31:23Be told, mate. If you don't sing, they don't give you no grub.

0:31:23 > 0:31:26# ..and hell's destruction

0:31:26 > 0:31:30# Lead me safe on Canaan's side... # Go on!

0:31:30 > 0:31:34If you don't know the words, make a noise.

0:31:34 > 0:31:38# ..Songs of praises

0:31:38 > 0:31:43# I will ever give to thee Give to thee

0:31:43 > 0:31:49# I will ever give to thee. Amen. #

0:31:49 > 0:31:55You won't get no soup. I did not come to partake of the soup.

0:31:55 > 0:31:57God has sent you down his manna!

0:31:59 > 0:32:02We'll fit you in somewhere.

0:32:02 > 0:32:07Will you please stop this unwarranted interest in my diet!

0:32:07 > 0:32:09I do not want any soup!

0:32:14 > 0:32:17Can I help you?

0:32:17 > 0:32:20Yes, I'm sure you can.

0:32:20 > 0:32:23..Sorry. My name is Watson.

0:32:23 > 0:32:25Dr John Watson of Baker Street.

0:32:25 > 0:32:29I am looking for a woman who is staying here.

0:32:29 > 0:32:31Her name is Angela Osborne.

0:32:31 > 0:32:37There's no-one of that name here. She IS here. I am certain of it.

0:32:37 > 0:32:41You'd better speak to my uncle. Mary!

0:32:41 > 0:32:42This way.

0:32:49 > 0:32:53Hello, Watson! What are you doing here?

0:32:53 > 0:32:59- Come to help us? Good! - Dr Watson is looking for someone called Angela Osborne.

0:32:59 > 0:33:05- I said I've never heard of her. - What makes you think she is here?

0:33:05 > 0:33:10- She gave this hostel as her address in a business transaction.- When?

0:33:10 > 0:33:15- About two years ago. - Names mean nothing here, Watson!

0:33:15 > 0:33:21Girls change their names as often as they change their clothes. I can't help.

0:33:21 > 0:33:25- I'm certain she's here. - I'M certain she's not!

0:33:25 > 0:33:29You saw the people outside. I'm their only doctor.

0:33:29 > 0:33:33I haven't time to answer questions about lost women.

0:33:33 > 0:33:37I know she is here. I demand to see her!

0:33:37 > 0:33:41- "Demand" be damned! Will you leave my surgery?!- But...

0:33:41 > 0:33:45Please, Dr Watson! Well!

0:33:47 > 0:33:52Forgive my uncle. He works even at night. His work IS these people.

0:33:52 > 0:33:56I insist on seeing Angela Osborne! I will not be put off!

0:33:56 > 0:34:02Please! Something is very wrong! Saying you haven't heard of Angela Osborne!

0:34:02 > 0:34:05You haven't seen the last of me!

0:34:05 > 0:34:10I will not rest till I have found out what you have done to this girl!

0:34:10 > 0:34:13CLATTER

0:34:21 > 0:34:23(Dear, dear...)

0:35:30 > 0:35:35- What are you doing?- I've come to converse, not for fisticuffs!

0:35:35 > 0:35:42- Who the devil are you? - Sherlock Holmes. You may remember we met yesterday.

0:35:42 > 0:35:47- Sherlock Holmes?- Wouldn't we be more comfortable in here?

0:35:51 > 0:35:54What's all this about, Holmes?

0:35:54 > 0:35:58- How did you get here?- I followed this young lady.- I saw no-one.

0:35:58 > 0:36:04- That happens when I follow people. - Why did you follow Miss Young?

0:36:04 > 0:36:11- She left when Angela Osborne was mentioned, as I expected. - YOU sent Dr Watson!

0:36:11 > 0:36:19- You'd better tell me the whole story.- It's none of your damned business.- There's nothing to hide.

0:36:19 > 0:36:26As I said, I went to Paris and found my brother had thrown up his studies and returned to England.

0:36:26 > 0:36:31For weeks I tried to find him, but...

0:36:31 > 0:36:37Then, one night, a man came to see me. He said that Michael had married a prostitute.

0:36:37 > 0:36:40Blackmail.

0:36:40 > 0:36:45- He threatened to tell the papers? - He was far cleverer than that.

0:36:45 > 0:36:51He threatened to tell my father, who had just suffered a severe heart attack.

0:36:51 > 0:36:56You've met my father. The family name is the meaning of his life.

0:36:56 > 0:37:05- Surely he is a man of the world? - The OLD world. The shock would kill him.- So you paid?

0:37:05 > 0:37:09- Are you still?- The blackmailer came back three times.

0:37:09 > 0:37:14I refused to pay until he told me the whereabouts of my brother and his...

0:37:14 > 0:37:16That woman he married.

0:37:16 > 0:37:21He said if I visited the hostel, Michael would be waiting.

0:37:21 > 0:37:28- Was he waiting?- No. But I met Dr Murray, and...I met Miss Young.

0:37:28 > 0:37:32I told them my story. Michael had been helping Dr Murray.

0:37:32 > 0:37:37He gave me the address of his lodgings but I found that he'd left.

0:37:37 > 0:37:44- No-one has seen them since.- And your blackmailer?- He bought himself a tavern - the Angel and Crown.

0:37:44 > 0:37:51- Did YOU know Michael Osborne?- He left the day before I came to the hostel.- It's a wretched story.

0:37:51 > 0:37:58The good thing was that Edward - Lord Carfax - became interested in my uncle's work.

0:37:58 > 0:38:00His money has kept the hostel going.

0:38:00 > 0:38:07I saw Dr Murray's fight against the poverty and sin. It was the least I could do.

0:38:07 > 0:38:10He bought this house, to be near.

0:38:10 > 0:38:15I'd be grateful if you would mention none of this to my father.

0:38:15 > 0:38:18There is one more thing.

0:38:18 > 0:38:24- What branch of medicine was your brother studying? - His ambition was to be a surgeon.

0:38:32 > 0:38:35PIANO AND SINGING

0:38:39 > 0:38:44# ..Food is dear, rent is dear Love is cheap for the time of year

0:38:44 > 0:38:48# So grab the nearest miss And whisper while you kiss

0:39:02 > 0:39:05# If you don't mind sitting without a light In these hard times

0:39:05 > 0:39:09# Farmer Brown came to town To the cattle show

0:40:21 > 0:40:26< Come on, out you go. I've had enough of you. Out!

0:40:27 > 0:40:34Holmes, you delight in embarrassing me! You invite me to dine then bring me to a low East End pub!

0:40:34 > 0:40:38You'll bring light into their drab lives.

0:40:38 > 0:40:41Welcome to the Angel and Crown. This way.

0:40:45 > 0:40:50Sit down, please. We have always a warm welcome for guests.

0:40:50 > 0:40:53- So I see(!)- What would you have? - Cognac.

0:41:20 > 0:41:22< WHISTLE

0:41:22 > 0:41:24Coo-ee!

0:41:24 > 0:41:29You see the interest you're causing in the fair sex.

0:41:29 > 0:41:32BLOWS RASPBERRY

0:41:34 > 0:41:36Here you are, gents.

0:41:36 > 0:41:41- Will you join us in a drink, Mr...? - Steiner. Max Steiner. Dick - a glass.

0:41:41 > 0:41:46A bad night. Everyone's scared off the street after dark.

0:41:46 > 0:41:48These ladies come in for safety?

0:41:48 > 0:41:53Here is always a selection - if you're so inclined.

0:41:53 > 0:41:55A selection.

0:41:55 > 0:42:00A selection? We did not come here for this reason!

0:42:00 > 0:42:05- Then I can do nothing. - You can give us some information.

0:42:05 > 0:42:10- Information? What about?- About the disappearance of Michael Osborne.

0:42:10 > 0:42:13What did you say your name was?

0:42:13 > 0:42:17- My name would alarm you, Mr Steiner. - You're a copper.

0:42:17 > 0:42:23Consulting detective. My friends at Scotland Yard would be interested in you.

0:42:23 > 0:42:28- Watch what you say.- Answer me or my friends will put you in the dock!

0:42:28 > 0:42:31- Who are you?- Sherlock Holmes.

0:42:34 > 0:42:39- Seen Lord Carfax, have you?- You know Angela Osborne well, I take it?

0:42:39 > 0:42:43- How did you know?- You had to have an accomplice in blackmail.

0:42:43 > 0:42:48Compensation. I could have opened my mouth and collected from the press,

0:42:48 > 0:42:53or kept it shut and collected from Lord Carfax.

0:42:53 > 0:42:57I did the nobility of England a service.

0:42:57 > 0:43:02Lord Carfax compensated me for my loss of business from the newspapers.

0:43:02 > 0:43:07The governor of Brixton Prison will not call it compensation.

0:43:07 > 0:43:13- Angela was on the streets when you met her?- Born to it. Loved the game.

0:43:13 > 0:43:17Most of them start because they have to. Not Angela.

0:43:17 > 0:43:22Met her at the gangway when my ship tied up. I took up with her.

0:43:22 > 0:43:26- And again when she returned from Paris with Osborne?- His wife!

0:43:26 > 0:43:33I always said she got her face and name from the angels and her heart from the devil.

0:43:33 > 0:43:40- You don't know what happened to her?- Disappeared from the face of the earth.

0:43:40 > 0:43:42Well, gentlemen...

0:43:42 > 0:43:45That's all I can tell you.

0:43:48 > 0:43:52What possessed Michael Osborne to marry such a creature?

0:43:52 > 0:43:56Because she got her face from the angels.

0:43:56 > 0:44:04One of the most attractive women I ever met was hanged for murdering three children for insurance money.

0:44:20 > 0:44:27I feel violent when I see a villain like Steiner enjoying the rewards of his skullduggery.

0:44:27 > 0:44:31- Rewards? - He ended up owning that pub.

0:44:31 > 0:44:36Watson, though not luminous, you're an excellent conductor of light.

0:44:36 > 0:44:38I am?

0:44:39 > 0:44:46- What do you think became of Angela Osborne?- That scoundrel said she disappeared from the earth.

0:44:46 > 0:44:49And yet... And yet...

0:44:49 > 0:44:55- Do you think Michael Osborne is dead?- I never theorise without evidence, Watson.

0:44:55 > 0:45:03It puts the estate in a mess - if the duke should die with no proof the elder son was alive or dead.

0:45:03 > 0:45:07Watch your back. I saw movement in the shadow a moment ago.

0:45:53 > 0:45:56RUNNING FOOTSTEPS GET FAINTER

0:45:59 > 0:46:02Brisk work, Watson! Brisk work!

0:46:02 > 0:46:09Upon my soul, Holmes! When you take a guest out for the evening you really do it!

0:46:09 > 0:46:17- My apologies. Next time I'll take you to a quiet table at the Cafe Royal.- I should jolly well think so.

0:46:19 > 0:46:23Nothing like a piece of cold steel, eh, Holmes?

0:47:30 > 0:47:34< DRUNKEN SINGING

0:47:34 > 0:47:36< 'Ere we are.

0:47:36 > 0:47:39Here's one. Two legs, even!

0:47:39 > 0:47:42Wotcher! Cor! Sailor's rest!

0:47:42 > 0:47:47We've walked a mile for that. Working up an appetite.

0:47:47 > 0:47:50The girls are indoors. Scared to come out!

0:47:50 > 0:47:53Must've known we was in port!

0:47:53 > 0:47:57Don't worry. Jack and me, we'll look after you!

0:47:57 > 0:48:00'Ere, don't fight over it, lads!

0:48:00 > 0:48:04You girls were told to clear off the streets. I've got to earn a living!

0:48:04 > 0:48:10Clear off, lads - go on. Miss - don't you live that way?

0:48:10 > 0:48:13You coppers are ruining everything! Push off!

0:48:22 > 0:48:23Aah!

0:48:27 > 0:48:29WHISTLE BLASTS

0:48:31 > 0:48:39Thanks to Jack the Ripper - yes, thanks to this brutal killer - the world is watching Whitechapel.

0:48:39 > 0:48:46It's not the killings by a demented hand that the world finds horrible. It's the murder by poverty.

0:48:46 > 0:48:53- The murder by misery, the murder by hunger! - SHOUTS OF AGREEMENT

0:48:53 > 0:48:56In Whitechapel... Whitechapel...

0:48:56 > 0:49:00the cry of the starving, the moan of the sick!

0:49:00 > 0:49:06We've tried to get one paragraph in the papers to expose what happens.

0:49:06 > 0:49:11I've been myself to editors, hat in hand. It's not news, they said.

0:49:11 > 0:49:13Pah!

0:49:13 > 0:49:18Well, now it is news! One man has made us news!

0:49:18 > 0:49:21SOME SHOUT AGREEMENT, SOME BOO

0:49:23 > 0:49:29We'll have a riot. He's putting up this murderer as a deliverer of Whitechapel.

0:49:29 > 0:49:35To seize a defenceless female, to stifle her cries and then...

0:49:35 > 0:49:38How can anyone do this? Someone does.

0:49:38 > 0:49:41Why? Why?!

0:49:41 > 0:49:44A motive, sir? I'll tell you.

0:49:44 > 0:49:48His motive is the punishment of Whitechapel,

0:49:48 > 0:49:51as God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah!

0:49:51 > 0:49:55- I'll have to shut him up. - No - you'll have to rescue him.

0:49:55 > 0:50:00It is the social and moral crimes that must be ended in Whitechapel,

0:50:00 > 0:50:04- not just the killings! - ANGRY SHOUTING

0:50:06 > 0:50:11Yes! It is the dealers in vice and the purveyors of sex

0:50:11 > 0:50:16that the police must throw their force against, not just the killer!

0:50:16 > 0:50:20I tell you there can be no peace in Whitechapel

0:50:20 > 0:50:25- while licensed dens like the Angel and Crown... - BOOING INTENSIFIES

0:50:25 > 0:50:29..cater to the dissolute and the debauched!

0:50:29 > 0:50:34BOOS AND ANGRY SHOUTS

0:50:41 > 0:50:44WHISTLE BLASTS LOUDLY

0:50:51 > 0:50:54BELL CHIMES HALF-HOUR

0:50:57 > 0:51:02- Prime Minister - the Home Secretary. - How's the battle?

0:51:02 > 0:51:08The Leader of the Opposition has found the culprit. You.

0:51:08 > 0:51:12Gladstone is in form. I was afraid of that.

0:51:12 > 0:51:15I could see you were in for trouble.

0:51:15 > 0:51:20Not just me. He'll demand that the Commissioner of Police resigns.

0:51:20 > 0:51:25If he calls for a vote of no confidence, he might get it.

0:51:25 > 0:51:31- You mean YOU might have to resign? - Not I - just some of my ministers.

0:51:31 > 0:51:37- Should we go down?- As you please. I'm expecting a visit from Mr Holmes.

0:51:37 > 0:51:43- That charlatan!- Mr Mycroft Holmes is an valuable servant of the Crown.

0:51:43 > 0:51:48- As long as he doesn't bring in his brother Sherlock.- I shall ask him to.

0:51:48 > 0:51:53- Why not approach him direct?- Your department has antagonised him.

0:51:53 > 0:51:58HE has antagonised THEM. He has been grossly offensive.

0:51:59 > 0:52:02- Mr Mycroft Holmes.- Show him in.

0:52:02 > 0:52:06Please try to be discreet. It isn't going to be easy.

0:52:06 > 0:52:11Mr Mycroft Holmes will wish to take charge of the investigation.

0:52:11 > 0:52:14- Prime Minister. - You know the Home Secretary.

0:52:14 > 0:52:20And I will soon know your successor, unless the police do a better job.

0:52:20 > 0:52:24I have confidence in them. There are none in the Commons.

0:52:24 > 0:52:31- I sent for you because you have the tidiest brain in the Civil Service. - I cannot deny it.

0:52:31 > 0:52:39Knowing that you are engaged on the most delicate negotiations about the Peruvian copper concession...

0:52:39 > 0:52:45You wish me to ask my brother to help apprehend the Whitechapel murderer.

0:52:45 > 0:52:51- How did you know? - The early hour of the summons suggested a personal matter.

0:52:51 > 0:52:56The Home Secretary's presence suggested a connection with the murders.

0:52:56 > 0:53:02The fact that the Peruvian matter has been settled for three days

0:53:02 > 0:53:09made me suppose you wished to consult my brother, so I have arranged to meet him.

0:53:09 > 0:53:15- You mean you had anticipated my request?- That, Prime Minister, is my business.

0:53:20 > 0:53:27My Indian vase! Just look at it! I wish you'd find some other way of solving cases!

0:53:27 > 0:53:32My dear Mycroft! This is a surprise! Watson, some sherry.

0:53:32 > 0:53:39- I expected you to ask me about the Manor House case. I thought you'd be out of your depth.- No, I solved it.

0:53:39 > 0:53:44- It was Adams, of course?- Yes. - I knew that from the start.

0:53:44 > 0:53:49- Thank you.- Mycroft, is this a social call?- Oh, yes. Purely social.

0:53:52 > 0:53:55- How are you?- Very well.

0:53:56 > 0:54:04- Now the social call is over, let's get to business. I see you have come from the Prime Minister.- Why?

0:54:04 > 0:54:11You are not at your desk. You are dressed for Buckingham Palace but the Queen is at Balmoral.

0:54:11 > 0:54:15This must be urgent. What does the Prime Minister want?

0:54:15 > 0:54:20To find the Whitechapel murderer before he brings down the government.

0:54:20 > 0:54:25- But...- Any government which allows such poverty deserves riddance.

0:54:25 > 0:54:32- Nor will I be engaged in political manoeuvres. Another glass of sherry?- Thank you.

0:54:32 > 0:54:36- QUICK FOOTSTEPS - Inspector Lestrade must have urgent news.

0:54:36 > 0:54:38He's written to us! A letter!

0:54:38 > 0:54:43- Try to be coherent. Who has written?- Jack the Ripper!

0:54:43 > 0:54:50- You're already involved! - A case of detection means more than any politician's career. Read it.

0:54:53 > 0:54:57"Dear Boss, I keep hearing that the police have caught me.

0:54:57 > 0:55:04"They won't fix me yet. I have to laugh when they talk about being on the right track.

0:55:04 > 0:55:09"I am down on whores and won't rest until I do get buckled.

0:55:09 > 0:55:13"I love my work. My knife is sharp. I want to get...

0:55:13 > 0:55:18"to work right away. Good luck. Yours truly, Jack the Ripper."

0:55:18 > 0:55:26- It was sent to the police?- A news agency.- It will be in tomorrow's papers.- No - orders from up top.

0:55:26 > 0:55:33- Every crank in the country would write to the papers.- If it does not appear, there will be more killings.

0:55:33 > 0:55:38- Why do you suppose he sent it to the news agency?- For publication.

0:55:38 > 0:55:42- Perhaps he's sickening of his crimes.- Is he bluffing?- No.

0:55:42 > 0:55:48If his motive is to create fear, he's trying to achieve it without further killings.

0:55:48 > 0:55:53If we publish it we add to the fear. The government wants to avoid that.

0:55:53 > 0:56:01- You are asking them to aid him.- If it does not appear, he will return to the knife. They MUST publish!

0:56:01 > 0:56:03Orders - it cannot be published.

0:56:03 > 0:56:08Then put every man you have on the streets of Whitechapel.

0:56:23 > 0:56:27We've come to view the body of Miss Elizabeth Stride.

0:56:34 > 0:56:39- With your permission.- Be careful. Her head is almost severed.

0:56:39 > 0:56:44- Have you found any clues yet?- We've scoured Whitechapel, but nothing.

0:56:44 > 0:56:47He left no bloodstained garments?

0:56:47 > 0:56:50- No - if it is a he.- A woman?

0:56:50 > 0:56:54- The constable who found the body saw a woman...- Correction.

0:56:54 > 0:56:59- He reported seeing a woman's shape. - What difference?

0:56:59 > 0:57:06What he said is not what you said. A woman's shape in the fog could be a man in woman's clothes.

0:57:06 > 0:57:09I hardly think it likely...

0:57:09 > 0:57:13There is no pattern of behaviour in a deranged mind.

0:57:14 > 0:57:17What can you tell us, Dr Murray?

0:57:18 > 0:57:21Each murder is by the same hand.

0:57:21 > 0:57:27- What about of the knifework?- What? - Does it not show surgical skill?

0:57:28 > 0:57:29Hmm...

0:57:29 > 0:57:35- It's the work of a doctor? - Anyone with a modicum of medical training could do it.

0:57:35 > 0:57:39A medical student, perhaps?

0:57:39 > 0:57:46These murders are the work of a madman, but with medical skills, intelligence and education.

0:57:46 > 0:57:49Intelligence? Education? This?

0:57:49 > 0:57:56Yes. Take that letter. The grammar and syntax, though concealed, were the work of an educated man.

0:57:56 > 0:58:03The writing was deliberately scrawled. We must not take the mask for the face.

0:58:03 > 0:58:10- If you're right, Mr Holmes, it brings us back to the doctors. - Don't be too sure, Lestrade.

0:58:10 > 0:58:14Oh, well, I'd better be off.

0:58:14 > 0:58:19I suppose he'll arrest the entire staff of the London Hospital.

0:58:25 > 0:58:29Would YOU look for a doctor, Dr Murray?

0:58:30 > 0:58:35- There is one medical student who will soon be under suspicion.- Oh?

0:58:35 > 0:58:39- Michael Osborne. - What's he got to do with it?

0:58:39 > 0:58:46Medical student who lived locally, had good cause to hate prostitutes, and has vanished.

0:58:46 > 0:58:51- He has nothing to do with the murders.- That may have to be proved.

0:58:51 > 0:58:58The newspapers will relish the heir of the Duchy of Shires denying he is Jack the Ripper.

0:58:58 > 0:59:02Consider his family and tell me what happened.

0:59:02 > 0:59:06I have every consideration for his family, so I must say nothing.

0:59:12 > 0:59:18SCRAPING ON VIOLIN I should have refused the request to call in my brother.

0:59:18 > 0:59:23He was already engaged, with what result? Stalemate.

0:59:23 > 0:59:28I should have realised only one person could solve this - myself.

0:59:28 > 0:59:33I should have ditched the Abyssinian detente and the Nigerian loan. I...

0:59:33 > 0:59:38Stop sawing away on that! It was a sad day when Mother gave it to you.

0:59:38 > 0:59:43A sad day for all of us! It's his method. Method?!

0:59:43 > 0:59:51This butcher boy has us all on the edge of a knife! This morning three more men were attacked in the street.

0:59:51 > 0:59:58Carrying bags? Carrying Gladstone bags! They say he's a Russian.

0:59:58 > 1:00:00Rubbish...! < SCRAPE!

1:00:01 > 1:00:06Military intelligence has found no truth in the rumour.

1:00:06 > 1:00:10How long has this been going on? Hasn't spoken since yesterday.

1:00:10 > 1:00:15How long does it usually last? Sometimes days. I'm wasting my time!

1:00:15 > 1:00:23I shall never understand why you've had that violin so long but never learnt to play it!

1:00:23 > 1:00:28Act, Sherlock, act! Go to the scene of the crime! Use your powers!

1:00:28 > 1:00:32Interview people! As Mother used to say, stir your stumps!

1:00:32 > 1:00:35Don't bother to see me out, Watson.

1:00:35 > 1:00:40Remind my brother he has never had so great a chance to serve his country,

1:00:40 > 1:00:44or seemed so unaware of his responsibilities!

1:00:44 > 1:00:49Or of the intention of the composer when he wrote that tune!

1:00:52 > 1:00:56- He's quite right. - You've rejoined the human race!

1:00:56 > 1:01:02- I should be in Whitechapel. There will be another murder tonight.- Eh?

1:01:02 > 1:01:07- Come. We will scour the streets. - What for?- The detail that matters.

1:01:07 > 1:01:10TWO SETS OF FOOTSTEPS

1:01:15 > 1:01:17This is hopeless, Holmes.

1:01:17 > 1:01:21If he were ten feet away, we wouldn't see him.

1:01:21 > 1:01:28Fog to the murderer is like jungle to the tiger. It conceals him until he pounces.

1:01:28 > 1:01:35- What do we do?- We must continue. Jack the Ripper will not allow these conditions to go unused.

1:01:35 > 1:01:38He is out now, Watson.

1:01:38 > 1:01:41CLOCK CHIMES

1:01:46 > 1:01:49MALE AND FEMALE LAUGHTER

1:01:57 > 1:02:00APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS

1:02:01 > 1:02:04'Ello, love!

1:02:04 > 1:02:07You look like a sport. Do you fancy coming up?

1:02:07 > 1:02:10Couple of shillings'll do it.

1:02:10 > 1:02:14'Ang on a minute. I'll throw you down the key.

1:02:16 > 1:02:17Catch!

1:02:28 > 1:02:34Shut the door behind you. Can't take no chances with Jack the Ripper about.

1:02:38 > 1:02:43You know something? I ain't been out in the dark for a month cos of him!

1:02:54 > 1:02:57Come on in, then!

1:02:57 > 1:02:59Come on.

1:03:12 > 1:03:14'Ere.

1:03:14 > 1:03:18That's a lovely coat you've got on, innit?

1:03:19 > 1:03:24Could you make that ten bob for a special, Mister?

1:03:24 > 1:03:26I do want to please you.

1:03:32 > 1:03:37I haven't had a real gentleman like you since I started.

1:03:37 > 1:03:40Don't think I've been on the game that long.

1:03:40 > 1:03:43I'm proper new, I am!

1:04:21 > 1:04:24SCREAMS

1:04:24 > 1:04:28- SCREAM Holmes!- Quickly, Watson.

1:04:28 > 1:04:34Lemon Street Police Station. Tell Inspector Lestrade to cordon off the area.

1:07:29 > 1:07:32Hello! What are you doing here?

1:07:32 > 1:07:36- Chasing a shadow. How long have you been here?- Since midnight.

1:07:36 > 1:07:41- No-one's passed through here? - Here?

1:07:41 > 1:07:43Hello, Edward. Sorry I'm late.

1:07:43 > 1:07:46- Mr Holmes?- I came to see your uncle.

1:07:46 > 1:07:52- Dr Murray is in the surgery. He asked not to be disturbed.- Did he?

1:07:54 > 1:07:56I'll take you home.

1:07:56 > 1:07:59- MOANING - Just a minute.

1:08:45 > 1:08:46Dr Murray?

1:08:48 > 1:08:50Oh, Holmes!

1:08:50 > 1:08:55I'm sorry. I had a long postmortem on a poison case. I'm a bit tired.

1:08:55 > 1:09:00- What are you doing here? - Following Jack the Ripper.- Here?

1:09:00 > 1:09:04- He eluded me in the mortuary. - The mortuary?

1:09:04 > 1:09:11- He could have got into the hostel.- He did. We will wait here for the police.

1:09:11 > 1:09:14What makes you think they are coming here?

1:09:14 > 1:09:20- You are the police surgeon. They will bring the body. - Another prostitute?

1:09:20 > 1:09:25- I would welcome the opportunity of a little chat.- What about?

1:09:25 > 1:09:32- About Michael Osborne.- I told you before...- He wasn't wanted under suspicion of murder before.

1:09:32 > 1:09:36- What do you mean?- It all leads to his knowledge of surgery.

1:09:36 > 1:09:41- He could not have murdered anybody! - Prove it!

1:09:41 > 1:09:48Tell me about the night he found out his wife and Max Steiner were blackmailing his family.

1:09:51 > 1:09:54You know about that?

1:10:01 > 1:10:05Michael Osborne was one of the finest young men I've ever met.

1:10:05 > 1:10:12In the six months he was here, I came to respect him as I've respected few other men.

1:10:12 > 1:10:16You've heard about his wife - vicious, depraved creature!

1:10:16 > 1:10:19He stayed with her in spite of everything.

1:10:19 > 1:10:24One night, she brought Steiner here, to this very room.

1:10:24 > 1:10:31- Michael heard from his wife's mouth their plan of blackmail. He was to be part of it.- What happened?

1:10:31 > 1:10:38Michael refused to have anything to do with it. There was a quarrel. Steiner attacked him.

1:10:38 > 1:10:40He had no chance.

1:10:40 > 1:10:45The sight of her husband being beaten wasn't enough for that woman.

1:10:45 > 1:10:51- She was about to throw a bottle of acid at Michael.- She didn't?

1:10:51 > 1:10:56It's hard to know what happened. Maybe Steiner flung out an arm.

1:10:56 > 1:10:58But the acid...

1:10:58 > 1:11:00went into her own face.

1:11:00 > 1:11:05When Steiner saw the horror of it, he rushed out to get me.

1:11:05 > 1:11:09Her angel face was a diabolical sight.

1:11:09 > 1:11:11I did the best I could for her.

1:11:11 > 1:11:16A week later, Steiner took her away. I've not seen or heard of her since.

1:11:16 > 1:11:19Michael Osborne got away?

1:11:19 > 1:11:23Then why weren't the family, the police informed?

1:11:23 > 1:11:27He didn't die, Holmes. Not quite.

1:11:29 > 1:11:31Go on. Finish your story, Dr Murray.

1:11:34 > 1:11:38Come and see, Holmes. Finish the story yourself.

1:11:48 > 1:11:51You wanted Michael Osborne.

1:11:52 > 1:11:54Here he is.

1:11:59 > 1:12:02Whether it was Steiner's blows to the head,

1:12:02 > 1:12:08or whether his mind could suffer no more of the world, I don't know.

1:12:08 > 1:12:12This is how he's been since that night.

1:12:27 > 1:12:32How can Lord Carfax let his brother remain here in that condition?

1:12:32 > 1:12:37He doesn't know, Holmes. Nobody could recognise that poor creature.

1:12:37 > 1:12:42- Why keep it to yourself? You should inform his father!- What father?

1:12:42 > 1:12:49He disowned him for wanting to do good instead of wasting his life in the pleasures of the aristocracy!

1:12:49 > 1:12:56- He had a right to know.- What about Michael? He must be happier here than in a padded cell!

1:12:56 > 1:12:59No - his life is over.

1:12:59 > 1:13:03- Let the world leave him in peace. - That may not be possible.- Why?

1:13:03 > 1:13:10- You can't suspect that poor lunatic!- All possibilities have to be considered.

1:13:10 > 1:13:14- Dr Murray?- Yes?- Inspector Lestrade sent me for you, sir.

1:13:35 > 1:13:38Lestrade, my dear fellow! Are you not well?

1:13:38 > 1:13:44You'll see nothing like it this side of hell. What animal could have done this?

1:13:44 > 1:13:48Prepare yourself for a shock, Dr Murray.

1:13:57 > 1:13:59Come, Watson.

1:14:02 > 1:14:08- Aren't you going to examine the body?- There is a more important examination.

1:14:12 > 1:14:14LOUD BANGING

1:14:27 > 1:14:30I'm coming! Stop!

1:14:30 > 1:14:32Always these drunk people!

1:14:39 > 1:14:44What the hell do you want? You're asking for trouble! No. We're giving it!

1:14:44 > 1:14:48I want to see the owner of this doubtful establishment.

1:14:48 > 1:14:53You've got a nerve, coming to see me at this time in the morning!

1:14:53 > 1:14:58The owner, not the hired help! Tell Angela Osborne I want to see her.

1:15:00 > 1:15:03You are not going upstairs.

1:15:14 > 1:15:18- Now there are several things I may do, Mr Steiner!- All right.

1:15:18 > 1:15:22But give her a chance. Let me warn her.

1:15:22 > 1:15:24Warn her?

1:15:24 > 1:15:28You can't just walk in on her. Not the way she is.

1:15:46 > 1:15:47Come up.

1:16:01 > 1:16:05Please sit down, Mr Holmes. Dr Watson.

1:16:12 > 1:16:17You will forgive the inconvenience of the hour.

1:16:17 > 1:16:23Night and day are indistinguishable here. A lamp turned down is my morning sun.

1:16:23 > 1:16:26What do you want, Holmes? Out with it.

1:16:26 > 1:16:31Excuse Mr Steiner's lack of hospitality. We never receive guests.

1:16:31 > 1:16:39Mr Steiner's hospitality is noted for the lengths he will go to to provide comfort for his guests.

1:16:39 > 1:16:44- It is profitable. I hope you won't spoil it.- It is of no interest to me.

1:16:44 > 1:16:50- Then why are you here?- To ask the lady what she did with the knife.

1:16:50 > 1:16:55- Knife?- The one you removed from the set of instruments you sent me.

1:16:55 > 1:17:00You are all I expected of you. Give it to him, Max.

1:17:02 > 1:17:08It is a limited life in these rooms and I spend hours reading your cases.

1:17:08 > 1:17:12I am grateful for the excellence of your narrative, Dr Watson.

1:17:12 > 1:17:17Can you tell an admirer, Mr Holmes, how you knew I sent the instruments?

1:17:17 > 1:17:21Someone wanted to interest me in Michael Osborne.

1:17:24 > 1:17:32- The writing on the label was that of a woman with little education. - How did you know I was here?

1:17:32 > 1:17:35- I was told that you had been... - Mutilated.

1:17:35 > 1:17:42- Made odious to myself and to the world.- It was obvious why you'd gone into hiding.

1:17:42 > 1:17:45Why remove the scalpel from the case?

1:17:45 > 1:17:50- To intrigue Mr Holmes. - We have only your word for that.

1:17:50 > 1:17:53I believe the doctor thinks I am Jack the Ripper.

1:17:53 > 1:17:56Why should Angela murder those women?

1:17:56 > 1:18:01Of course, Dr Watson is observant. I hate all women. He knows why.

1:18:01 > 1:18:05They're all prettier than I am. That's why.

1:18:05 > 1:18:10The woman with the ugliest face in the world. Want to see?

1:18:15 > 1:18:17But I WAS beautiful.

1:18:17 > 1:18:19Eh, Max?

1:18:21 > 1:18:23Ja. You were.

1:18:24 > 1:18:28You can say it, Mr Holmes, that I hate women.

1:18:28 > 1:18:31But I am not your killer.

1:18:31 > 1:18:37As you can see, I am incapable of even stepping into the street.

1:18:37 > 1:18:41- Why did you hate your husband so much?- Who told you that?

1:18:41 > 1:18:43Dr Murray.

1:18:43 > 1:18:47To him, Michael was a saint. To me, a man who tired easily.

1:18:47 > 1:18:54He seemed unbalanced. He couldn't take the discipline of medical study, or marriage.

1:18:54 > 1:18:59- He tired of me and sent me back to work.- You mean on the streets?

1:18:59 > 1:19:02His father had cut him off.

1:19:02 > 1:19:07I didn't earn enough. He thought up a way to get money from his brother.

1:19:07 > 1:19:11- His was the blackmailing scheme? - Who else?

1:19:11 > 1:19:16He sent Max to Carfax because his father would never give him a penny.

1:19:16 > 1:19:23Michael's father knew him for what he was - a vicious, worthless libertine.

1:19:23 > 1:19:29- Vicious?- If you call a man who throws acid into his wife's face vicious,

1:19:29 > 1:19:35because she can bear him no more and is leaving him. Wasn't that vicious?

1:19:35 > 1:19:39By God, Holmes, there's a woman of great character.

1:19:39 > 1:19:45I'm afraid you're not probing deeply enough. Her scars extend beyond the surface.

1:19:45 > 1:19:51- What do you mean?- She may well believe her story to be the truth.

1:19:51 > 1:19:58- Now let us pick up Michael Osborne. - You know where he is? - Come along, Watson.

1:20:34 > 1:20:36Father, Mr Sherlock Holmes is here.

1:20:36 > 1:20:43- I was not aware I had an appointment.- You must prepare yourself for a shock.

1:20:43 > 1:20:49- Mr Holmes has brought Michael back. - I have forbidden your brother this house, Edward.

1:20:49 > 1:20:53- I have not altered that. - But...- Do not argue.

1:20:53 > 1:20:59- Your grace.- You were shown out of my house on your last uninvited visit, Mr Holmes.

1:20:59 > 1:21:06- I have come to save your family name.- Tell him to get himself out of the mess.

1:21:06 > 1:21:10I cannot do that, your grace. He is not capable of understanding.

1:21:10 > 1:21:15- Of course he can understand! - Your son is a pathetic imbecile,

1:21:15 > 1:21:19incapable of understanding the smallest action.

1:21:19 > 1:21:23He has suffered for his sins. He is outside that door.

1:21:23 > 1:21:26I have brought him home.

1:21:28 > 1:21:31- Edward.- Yes, Father?

1:21:31 > 1:21:35Have Michael put into his old room.

1:21:35 > 1:21:37Of course.

1:21:37 > 1:21:40Do it yourself. It's better. Not the servants.

1:21:40 > 1:21:43And tell him...

1:21:43 > 1:21:45I shall come and see him presently.

1:21:47 > 1:21:49- Mr Holmes.- Your grace.

1:21:50 > 1:21:58- How did you find him?- His identity was revealed by a doctor in a hostel for the destitute,

1:21:58 > 1:22:02his mind by a lady in a public house, the Angel and Crown.

1:22:02 > 1:22:08- I am indebted to them both. - Thank you, Mr Holmes.

1:22:30 > 1:22:31Holmes...

1:22:31 > 1:22:34you know, don't you?

1:22:34 > 1:22:36You know who Jack the Ripper is.

1:22:36 > 1:22:38Who is he?

1:22:38 > 1:22:43- I must keep that from you a little longer.- Won't you arrest him?

1:22:43 > 1:22:46- Knowing is not proving. - We can't let him roam the streets.

1:22:46 > 1:22:52No. We have work to do before the final curtain can be brought down.

1:22:52 > 1:22:57We have been setting the scene for the last act of Jack the Ripper.

1:22:59 > 1:23:02I wondered what we'd been doing.

1:23:10 > 1:23:13DOG BARKS

1:23:19 > 1:23:22- Anything? - No, nothing.

1:25:37 > 1:25:39AAHH!

1:25:41 > 1:25:44Good evening, Lord Carfax.

1:25:47 > 1:25:48SHOT

1:26:08 > 1:26:09AHHH!

1:26:12 > 1:26:13AAHH!

1:26:44 > 1:26:47HE SCREAMS WILDLY

1:27:06 > 1:27:07MAX!

1:27:08 > 1:27:09MAX!

1:27:11 > 1:27:12MAX!

1:27:12 > 1:27:15Angela!

1:27:21 > 1:27:23AHH!

1:27:23 > 1:27:26BOTH SCREAM

1:27:32 > 1:27:34HE SCREAMS

1:27:43 > 1:27:46How did you get out, Holmes?

1:27:46 > 1:27:49I am well-known to be indestructible.

1:27:49 > 1:27:54- I would not miss this excellent partridge.- How did you know...?

1:27:54 > 1:27:55DOOR CLOSES

1:27:57 > 1:28:00How did you know it was Carfax?

1:28:03 > 1:28:05Oh, Holmes!

1:28:06 > 1:28:08His medical knowledge.

1:28:08 > 1:28:15- When I dropped the case of instruments in his father's house, he picked it up.- Natural politeness.

1:28:15 > 1:28:20He put the instruments into the right niches. How odd, I thought.

1:28:20 > 1:28:25A layman might ponder for a moment. Carfax did not hesitate.

1:28:25 > 1:28:27But isn't it obvious Dr Murray...?

1:28:27 > 1:28:34Nothing is more deceptive than an obvious fact. The letter was obvious AND revealing.

1:28:34 > 1:28:38That harum-scarum diatribe in red ink - revealing?

1:28:38 > 1:28:44Precisely. The writer described his murders as his work - "I love my work".

1:28:44 > 1:28:51He was obviously a man of means who had no need of ordinary employment.

1:28:51 > 1:28:55Dr Murray, who works hard, might have put "pastime". I ruled him out.

1:28:55 > 1:28:58- You make it sound simple.- It was.

1:28:58 > 1:29:03In the Osborne family, I found insanity through four generations.

1:29:03 > 1:29:05Carfax's reason hung on a thread.

1:29:05 > 1:29:13That his brother should give the Osborne name to a common prostitute broke that thread.

1:29:13 > 1:29:16Carfax was protecting the family name.

1:29:16 > 1:29:21He'd never seen Angela but thought he could kill her by elimination.

1:29:21 > 1:29:24He searched for her with his knife.

1:29:24 > 1:29:27But Lestrade and the police...?

1:29:27 > 1:29:31They do not know the identity of Jack the Ripper.

1:29:31 > 1:29:37We need not disclose it. The Osborne family have suffered enough.

1:29:37 > 1:29:41Lestrade has three buckets of ash but we will keep the name.

1:29:41 > 1:29:46KNOCK ON DOOR Parcel for you, Mr Holmes.

1:29:47 > 1:29:49Postmarked "Nottingham".

1:29:56 > 1:30:00A-ha, the game's afoot again.

1:30:04 > 1:30:09This is three years old. The flat brim with curled edges came in then.

1:30:09 > 1:30:13It belongs to a man who has suddenly gone down in the world.

1:30:13 > 1:30:21He is middle-aged, goes out little, with grizzled hair which has been cut in the last few days. Also...
