00:00Oh, my God.
00:30Get the beast out of me before it cleans me and turns!
00:48Get your bastard hands inside me and tug the bugger free!
00:52Vetch treves!
01:00Which nimgim is this then?
01:02The one who's to cut you open, woman.
01:30This is my friend.
01:32I wanna be on the boot and work in theỗ two of you!
01:36Get me to play these games together!
01:39No matter where you're at, I will see you the future.
01:42I'm going to jump in.
01:43I'm going to sit down now and do anything!
01:45No matter where you're at, I'm going to fall a bit faster in my body!
01:48Get it back!
01:49I can't be a big part of my dad!
01:51Can't be a big part of my dad!
01:54No matter where I do, I will push my dad!
01:55I can't go!
01:56I can't commit my family!
01:58Oh, oh.
02:11Please, don't be fine. I thank you.
02:15Please do not take it from me.
02:24Morning Porter found her at the foot of the Eastern Stair.
02:27She came to you when?
02:29A touch after eight this night last,
02:32as I prepared my testimony for the Linklater inquiry.
02:35She was filthy, cursed like a stevedore.
02:39Her son delivered by Caesar one hour later and now removed.
02:43We know not where or by whom.
02:45Whoever pushed her down that stairwell, I should think.
02:48With her mother now dead, poor child.
02:50Vulnerable does not quite cover it, Inspector.
02:53No belongings? Nothing to say her name or who might miss her now?
02:56None.
02:58Then she goes to my American at Lehman Street.
03:01One last thing you should see.
03:06Sergeant, help me turn her.
03:09It may help identify her.
03:11If I am.
03:22Oh, God me.
03:23I am.
03:24I am.
03:25To be continued.
03:26I am.
03:28I am.
03:29I am.
03:30I am.
03:31I am.
03:32I am.
03:35I am.
03:36I am.
03:37I am.
03:38I am.
03:42Are you, I am.
04:16Who's to say you are not beautiful?
04:21Wilson!
04:23To the dire shine, lazy sergeant in earth this morning.
04:27Needs must. Our respects are paid.
04:35It is yet to be stated how precisely sergeant Luke later met his end.
04:39Granted, the iron railing that passed through him had a say,
04:42but there are whisperings on the wind, Wilson.
04:44Our dear friend Edmund Reid may have lent a shoulder to that person.
04:50Talk of the wolf.
04:53How now, Inspector?
04:58Such an injury, Mr. Reid.
05:01Changes a man.
05:03Humbles him, in fact.
05:06Humble for a bust.
05:07I wonder how it is you show your faces here.
05:16It was my friend.
05:17And yet you are happy to remain at the side of a man whose hand is suspected in that friend's untimely demise.
05:25You ought to be careful, Mr. Shine, making such statements.
05:29How, sergeant?
05:31Folks might ask, what's to be gained from slurring the reputation of a man such as Mr. Reid?
05:37Indeed.
05:38And that slur hides the truth.
05:40Whose?
05:40Yours, Inspector.
05:42Your activities in this division.
05:46Wilson?
05:47You are a disgrace to badge and uniform.
05:51It is your inspector here that is the disgrace.
05:53If you would slur me, then I must seek recommends.
05:56Let's seek it, sir!
05:57Word at it you left the rope ring.
05:59A word has it right.
06:00Well then, I confess myself relieved.
06:02That you have not grown entirely soft on your whore wife's perjury of love.
06:10No, no, not here.
06:12Stop now.
06:12As soon, sergeant, once the world has heard Mr. Treve's sworn testament,
06:20I know it's Inspector Reid for the killer he is.
06:32Bruising and breakage to the hip, pelvis, knee, and back.
06:36Her humerus, radius, and ulna, however, are intact.
06:39She didn't use her arms to break the fall.
06:41Kept the child clutched to her chest.
06:43She died to protect it.
06:45Her mother's instinct.
06:46Gone to nothing.
06:48Treve's described her as filthy and abject, didn't he?
06:52But I think she is beautiful.
06:55And whoever cared for her thought the same.
06:57Torn and distressed, however, the stitching is highly skilled.
07:03These threads were stolen, most likely.
07:06Tell me, did she steal her skin as well?
07:09You see her face?
07:11Zinc oxide keeps the skin fair.
07:13Kept well for a while.
07:15Oh, she was kept perfect.
07:21And yet no attempt was made to remove that from her.
07:25You think that makes her, what, less than humor?
07:27We were all animals once, it is now said.
07:30Some are closely related than others.
07:32I would in conscience leave off riding Sergeant Drake.
07:35He has buried a friend today.
07:38Blessed though she may be,
07:40this woman was murdered and her child taken.
07:42This tale is a vestige.
07:44It is a memento of what we all once were.
07:48In water beneath the canopy.
07:51Sergeant Drake.
07:52The freak shows were run off the street fronts last year,
07:55but there was talk, was there not,
07:56of Tom Norman's troop splintering,
07:58faction returning from Nottingham.
08:00Hidden away under the railway arches,
08:02upon artillery.
08:08Chief Inspector Aveline.
08:10Inspector Reed.
08:13Reinforcements.
08:13He's a boy, I said.
08:26I asked.
08:27Not another boy.
08:29Sergeant,
08:30you are short here.
08:32I am correcting that understanding.
08:34You are?
08:37He is.
08:38We are, sir.
08:39You believe there to be a line outside my office, do you?
08:43A battalion of gnarled veterans,
08:46each and every one of them,
08:47begging to bring their fight to evil division.
08:49Right, Fred.
08:50This one.
08:51Detective Constable Flight,
08:53worked overtime in uniform,
08:56on his own coin.
08:57His collar rate, in so doing,
08:59sufficient to push both yours and mine into the corner.
09:02In Bloomsbury, Fred.
09:04And now appointed to the CID,
09:07he wishes to work here.
09:09He volunteers for this sink, Edmund.
09:11For Whitechapel.
09:19Inspector Reed.
09:21It is an honour.
09:22I shan't let you down, sir.
09:24Easily said, Constable.
09:26Harder to prove.
09:29Inspector, private word.
09:30Private word.
09:34Little birdie up to my shoulder earlier.
09:37Told me a story about a ruckus at a funeral.
09:39A birdie currently sporting a teacup for an ear.
09:41Oi!
09:43You two!
09:43If Drake cannot keep his spleen inside him,
09:46it is up to you to provide discipline.
09:52Sergeant Linklater is his friend.
09:54And Jedediah Shine is his superior.
09:56And if that superior merits such a subordination?
09:59Merits worse than that, perhaps.
10:00No.
10:01You need be.
10:02It's not as if your name is currently being sung from the rooftops
10:06with the acne of probity.
10:08And should trees not clear you at that inquest,
10:11so it will remain.
10:13You are my friend, but...
10:15Ed.
10:16You make accusations against a man as such standard.
10:21Without evidence.
10:23No.
10:24You hear me?
10:26Inspector.
10:26Am I heard?
10:34To artillery.
10:41All men of ambition need a traitor fall back on, Miss Hart.
10:44A skill.
10:46Which keeps both body and soul at peace
10:48when the wind of fortune turns cold.
10:51So I'm glad to see you're not broken by a new term, Miss Hart.
10:54You do not wish to count it.
11:04We are friends.
11:05Friends do not break trust.
11:09Or forget their obligations to each other.
11:11Obligations.
11:17It should you need reminder.
11:19Might be for God.
11:21Within just one word.
11:23And just one life.
11:25If you have my meaning.
11:27If that will be all, Mr. Duggan.
11:31Oh.
11:32Do send my regards to your pistol twister.
11:34You must have him working those skilled fingers to the knuckle.
11:37What ho, Caliban, I say.
12:00What's thou seek to violate the honor of my child?
12:07I will rack thee, Caliban.
12:11Make thee roar that beasts shall tremble at thy zin.
12:16That's enough now, Sergeant, I think.
12:33Now, now, lady.
12:35This sideshow is now shut down.
12:37On what grounds?
12:38On the grounds of a murder inquiry, Miss Pettigrew.
12:41Murder and abduction.
12:43An infant boy taken from his murdered mother.
12:45And do you believe we can help you in this because...
12:48She also had a blessing.
12:51A protrusion at the base of her spine.
12:55Tell.
12:57You must mean Stella Brooks.
13:01Oh, John.
13:06She was found last night, Mr. Good.
13:09And a child?
13:10You say, her child?
13:16The boy.
13:17We believe live.
13:19But taken.
13:22When did you last see her, Mr. Good?
13:24Almost seven months ago.
13:27To the day.
13:28That is, precise recall.
13:30I've been looking for her.
13:32She was what?
13:33Your lover?
13:34At the hospital, she was unaccompanied.
13:43Nothing upon her but the ragged clothes, sure.
13:45But those clothes...
13:48Once pretty.
13:49She had been, at one point, at least, well treated.
13:51I fuck with money.
13:53Yeah, brother, let me give you something.
13:55There is nothing for me!
13:56Out of the way, eh, snake?
14:16That man, trussed up as Caliban, with you, all last night.
14:20He was, and all here will confirm it.
14:24That's some impressive artifice you grabbed there.
14:26Oh, it's not artifice.
14:29It's John's gift.
14:31He's impervious to pain.
14:33But not, alas, to suffering.
14:36And Miss Brooks, what of her?
14:39Rootless, orphaned.
14:41Tom Norman had her displayed in a glass cabinet.
14:44Only her rear mind.
14:46For an extra penny, they could open the box and a man might tug on her.
14:49And no family.
14:51No friends other than yourselves to tell who might mean her such harm.
14:54There is a friend.
14:56And he is known to you already, sir.
14:58And he is known to you already, sir.
14:58You must, Joseph.
15:16You must say what you saw.
15:19Come.
15:23Mr. Treves.
15:27How can I help you, Inspector?
15:31And have you confirmed something?
15:38What of it?
15:39In one week, you will stand in front of a traditional inquiry
15:43and pronounce what took my sergeant from this life.
15:46I would know now if you will tell precisely what it was you witnessed
15:51when you came upon Edmund Reid at my man's bedside.
15:54That is for me to share with none other than the coroner.
16:03Good day, Jim.
16:04Good day, I was married.
16:10You are a good man, sir.
16:12You have no clue of the suffering that is meted out in the Lehman Street cells.
16:21Suffering that Inspector Reid sanctions in the name of investigation.
16:30Mr. Treves.
16:31Joseph.
16:32Joseph.
16:33There is a matter, urgent, I believe, which I would share with you.
16:39Mr. Merrick.
16:40I don't believe I've had the pleasure.
16:48My...
16:50My apologies.
16:52Do not disturb.
17:03Mr. Merrick.
17:09No harm is meant here.
17:11Not yet, at least wise.
17:14Mr. Merrick.
17:17Mr. Merrick.
17:18No harm is meant here. Not yet, at least wise.
17:24Please. My support. I'm suffocating.
17:30So it is, truly.
17:34I'm suffocating.
17:38I'm suffocating.
17:42So it is, truly.
17:46You must sleep up, Ryan.
17:50Like a marionette on a puppeteer's shelf.
17:54It's life.
17:58Six bags of shit till Sunday, is it not?
18:02And here am I about to make yours worse, you see.
18:06Strikes me you may have laid eyes on me someplace before.
18:10The night my man, Link later, passed.
18:16No, I must have myself confused.
18:22It is a relief.
18:26Nevertheless, I hope neither of us will now forget the other.
18:32Forget how easy it is for me to come by and say,
18:36How do you, Mr. Merrick?
18:38I do hope the day finds you well, safe,
18:42and not inclined to say nothing you should not.
18:44No, we understood, sir.
18:50Oh.
19:00Oh.
19:02Sergeant Arlington.
19:04How do we find Mr. Flight?
19:06He is calm, sir.
19:08And quiet.
19:10Which is a bonus.
19:11Mr. Flight, would you agree with that assessment?
19:13I would always agree with my sergeant.
19:14Oh.
19:15Bidable, are we?
19:16Servile, even.
19:17We shall see.
19:18For now, detective, I'd see how developed your archive and telegraph skills are.
19:21John Good.
19:22Common enough name, a most uncommon man.
19:24See what you can find.
19:25I want to know why he would run from us.
19:28Follow me.
19:30Up here, son.
19:31Yes, sir.
19:39Mr. Merrick.
19:40Mr. Merrick.
19:41Detective Inspector Reid.
19:43I hope to talk with you.
19:46Please, I am not well.
19:48I have only a few questions, Mr. Merrick.
19:50I have said that I am well.
19:52Sir, sir, sir, sir, sir.
19:54Don't you overstep, Inspector.
19:56Or have you no effect from my wishes?
19:59Of course.
20:00But it is a friend of yours from the side.
20:02No, sir.
20:03I will not.
20:04You leave me, please.
20:05This is unconscionable.
20:06You will not bring your Lehman streetways to this hospital again.
20:09No, sir!
20:18Joseph, I'm sorry, Joseph.
20:27Does Mr. Merrick have knowledge of us, sir?
20:30If he does, he will not share it with me.
20:35John Good's books.
20:37That's some technical reading there.
20:39Mr. Galton.
20:40Mr. Galton is a cousin of Mr. Darwin.
20:43This, he investigates if our abilities might be inherited from our parents,
20:47and if we, in turn, hand on those same abilities to our children.
20:51Fugilism.
20:53For example.
20:54Or depravity.
20:55Quite.
20:56Here, his argument evolves.
20:59He invents a term.
21:01Eugenics.
21:02Suggests that the qualities to which we might aspire could be bred into the family line.
21:07And what of the weak?
21:08The weak, the idle, the ugly, the dim-witted, the mad.
21:12The deformed?
21:13They are to be bred out.
21:20Take a seat, detective.
21:30Drink, flight.
21:31My thanks, no.
21:32Don't make the dozen take a sip, huh?
21:34And a unicorn stopped traffic on the East India Dock Road.
21:37What do you have, flight?
21:39John Goodes, sir.
21:40Sit down.
21:41Not so hard to dig out.
21:42The man has history here.
21:43Recent, but history nonetheless.
21:45Fines for drunken brawling, mainly.
21:49Rope-makers.
21:50Trinity.
21:51That's low-rent boozing.
21:52Even round here.
21:53First we know of him here.
21:54He and a woman breaking the peace, assaulting one another in the street.
21:57I don't see her name, Mr. Reid.
22:01Stella Brooks.
22:02Nothing before, not a sneeze, and then September 22nd.
22:05This.
22:06Almost precisely seven months past.
22:08When she leaves him.
22:09And his behaviour degenerating in her absence.
22:11And this the reason for her leaving.
22:12Did she drop on him the news that she carried his child?
22:15He didn't exactly rejoice.
22:17They fight, she leaves.
22:18And he hunts her.
22:19He hunts her down the same streets.
22:22Here.
22:23More arrests for vagrancy, drunkenness.
22:26Rope-makers, Trinity, Thelma Street.
22:27There's pattern to his behaviour.
22:28And so, I thought, Inspector, if I took a turn through those streets myself,
22:34I might build an understanding of him.
22:36And indeed pick up his trail.
22:42Then go.
22:43Flight.
22:44Drake goes with you.
22:45I'm sure Mrs. Drake expects a sergeant.
22:47He's right, she does.
22:48Take Drake or you're scrubbing latrines.
22:53Nice man, is it?
22:54Just watch him.
22:58You know Drake or no Drake, this place is gonna shit in his shoes one day or the next.
23:03He ain't Hobbs.
23:06He ain't.
23:10Will you eat, Captain?
23:12Sorry, Reid, I got dinner with the lady tonight.
23:15Oh, of course, of course, of course.
23:16The challenge we face, therefore, those of us who rightly refuse to accept the biological status of our species, is how the debilities and handicaps that impair our existence might be corrected for our heirs.
23:43What is called for, I believe, is courage.
23:47The courage and conviction.
23:50Systematically to experiment upon the whole process of breeding.
23:57But not upon sativa or crustacea.
24:00On complex organisms.
24:03Organisms more like ourselves, in fact.
24:06The correction and improvement of humankind is indeed realizable.
24:28I say.
24:29Hello there.
24:30I say.
24:31This thing is research, fellas, only.
24:32Do I know you?
24:33Oi!
24:34Get back here!
24:35Three separate occasions.
24:36He was ejected for balling.
24:37Only two of us in that DOS house.
24:38We get cornered.
24:39It's a long fight out.
24:40Should we be so frightened, Sergeant?
24:41Come then, Constable.
24:42I shall show you.
24:43I shall show you.
24:44Three separate occasions, he was ejected for balling.
24:54Only two of us in that DOS house.
24:56We get cornered.
24:58It's a long fight out.
24:59Should we be so frightened, Sergeant?
25:04Come then, Constable.
25:06I shall show you.
25:14Pretty, ain't it?
25:21John Good?
25:27I think a John Good.
25:30How does one find a man in such a place?
25:33They are not men no more.
25:35You may not tell them apart.
25:43Come.
25:44Our luck is already chanced.
25:48John Good.
25:51Get out, old black spy.
25:53Do you bob from me?
25:54Police!
25:55Get back!
25:56Bloody fool!
25:57Pitch in the car!
25:58Back off!
25:59Back off!
26:00Away!
26:06Back off!
26:07Back off!
26:11Clever, fella, Eater!
26:13Get out!
26:13Get out!
26:13Get out!
26:14Get out!
26:30Tough bugger, ain't ya?
26:32Right, Detective Constable.
26:38Run along now.
26:39Is there no one at home waits for you, Albert?
26:41Not currently, Mrs Drake.
26:43You should call me Bella.
26:44You should call her Mrs Drake.
26:45I lay my head in Mrs Burton's lodging house on Commercial Street.
26:50Once I'm settled, I shall find permanent accommodation.
26:54Well, head you home and get your rest.
26:57Rest, Mrs Drake?
26:59Not this night villainy does not rest.
27:01I do not intend to either.
27:03My thanks, Mrs Drake.
27:05Sergeant.
27:05Where did you come from?
27:10Over the hills and far away.
27:15What's stopping us?
27:17Life ain't work.
27:19Cairo.
27:20You and me.
27:22Your sergeant's salary stretches this far, does it?
27:25No.
27:25We're gonna take what we made here.
27:26We're gonna cash in.
27:27And what has been made here?
27:29Save it the names Long Susan and Captain Jacks.
27:31Come on, I see the bills you count.
27:32I see the numbers you're scratching in that ledger.
27:34Yes, but once counted, you do not see where those bills leave to.
27:42Nothing here is yours.
27:45Nothing here is mine.
27:51Then whose?
27:56Three years.
27:58You never asked.
28:00Never cared.
28:00Hey, you're the one that wanted to play business lady,
28:03and now I'm asking.
28:04Who's is it?
28:14Whose?
28:17Silas Duggan.
28:19Excuse me.
28:20You're giving me the logic of being a businesswoman who gives all her profits away to somebody else.
28:24I wonder why I didn't think of that.
28:26I swear to God, you are as dead in the head as this slab of meat!
28:30How could you be so goddamn reckless?
28:34So, so, so, so, so, so, so, goddamn!
28:35What, what?
28:37Irresponsible!
28:37From you!
28:38I mean it.
28:38I had a right to know.
28:40You had no rights.
28:42Save the ones you took, for gratis.
28:45Each and every night.
28:47In my view and hearing.
28:48Things were different then.
28:49No.
28:51The same.
28:52And the same reality prevails.
28:56This place, its people and profits, the property of Silas Duggan.
29:01We were destitute, wanted criminal.
29:12Not what you would call a sound investment.
29:16Duggan took the chance.
29:18No.
29:19What he took was our lives, Susan.
29:23Ground rent plus 50% income.
29:25Any more, Mr. Schein?
29:37Sufficient, I think, Mr. Duggan.
29:41Brighton.
29:43Good of you to come when summoned.
29:45I'll wait on your orders, Inspector.
29:47You know that.
29:49Nothing like loyalty is there, Mr. Duggan.
29:51Oh, nothing in the world, Mr. Schein.
29:53I'm relieving here of your everyday duties by
29:56setting you to some surveillance.
29:59Because, as we know, elephants do not forget.
30:13It's for clues.
30:15It will not stand.
30:15Mr. Merrick, I am well known to you and I mean no harm.
30:18I come only to inquire after a friend to you.
30:21Stella.
30:22Stella Brooks.
30:23Delivered of her child just hours before she
30:26met her death here, sir,
30:28on these corridors.
30:42When was it you last saw her?
30:44September.
30:46Last year.
30:47After they had fought and she had left him?
30:50Yes.
30:51And can you say, was it on account of her pregnancy?
30:55She said she could not forgive him.
30:59Because he struck her?
31:00No, she could not forgive him for the rage he felt at the child inside her.
31:08Did she say where it was she meant to go?
31:13To John's father, a doctor.
31:18And did Gud know this?
31:19John had forever kept his family a secret from her.
31:24He used to a name also.
31:26The father, a man of wealth, well able to care for her and her child.
31:29Did she mention a name?
31:32No, she...
31:33She did not withdraw me.
31:36I cannot help your father.
31:39Mr. Merrick, your...
31:40...help in this matter...
31:42...it is invaluable.
31:45I've been like this all night, they are.
32:04You're not supposed to be grateful for this little slave status, huh?
32:08Oh, good morning, Reed.
32:10And, uh, what is it that brings you by?
32:12Uh, there's insight I share with you.
32:13So you didn't come for your shirts, then?
32:16Oh, come on.
32:18You truly believe it?
32:19Can I tell when another man's shirts are laundered in my own house?
32:22Although, given your head, you would not have it so a great deal longer now, would you?
32:26But...
32:28You will not tell your friend and accomplice?
32:31Then allow me.
32:33Your mercenary Highling has designs on a change of location.
32:37We'll just stop and leave you, Inspector.
32:39Come on, don't be such a baby, Reed.
32:43I think this is the garden spot of the world.
32:46My one ambition to remain here, chained to you.
32:48Anyway, it's not like I'm going to be sailing away anytime soon.
32:53You know, this brooding martyr thing you perfected and really great.
32:57John Good.
32:58Not his real name.
32:59What up?
33:03A rich man's son finding fellowship in a freak show.
33:06We must ask why.
33:07The thing with the poker.
33:08It's a skill, not a handicap, but the palsy.
33:10The tremor in them.
33:11So whilst I still may make use of it, set your great medical mind to that, will you?
33:16Detective Constable Flight.
33:25Mr. Reed?
33:26In the future, you will do Sergeant Drake the service of knowing what is best for you.
33:30Will you not?
33:31I will, sir.
33:33Must speak.
33:35John Good has been incarcerated.
33:37Not in jail, however.
33:38Two spells at the Larkhouse Asylum.
33:41Can you speculate as to which physician?
33:44Carl Krepp.
33:45The very same.
33:46What tricks did he play on Mr. Good, I wonder?
33:48No.
34:08Inspector Reed.
34:15Pleasing interruption to an otherwise dull year.
34:29I forget.
34:33Really, Inspector?
34:35In the current mood?
34:37My mind advances, but my frame is frail.
34:41How would your newly sullied reputation cope with another interview concluding in a man's death?
34:48Gossip, Reed?
34:49It's a fact of prison life.
34:53Were I to tell you the life of an infant boy dependent on your speaking, might that make impact?
34:59Not really.
35:01Then what, Doctor?
35:02There is a tale, told Inspector, the guards here tell it, of your wife, rending herself in the Lehman Street gutter.
35:19Sergeant Drake has heard the tale, too, has he?
35:22How difficult for you all.
35:24What is it you want?
35:25To hear it from you, Reed.
35:28The man who brought me so low.
35:34Sergeant Drake.
35:36Sir, leave us.
35:38You sir, Sergeant.
35:39Captain Jackson found her in the bear.
36:02Barely dressed, it is said, demanding drink.
36:07He attempted to remove her.
36:11She would not be removed.
36:13And so he carried her.
36:16Which is when she screamed.
36:18In the scream.
36:18You attended, sir?
36:21I did.
36:22Your sergeant, all others to bear witness.
36:28And no man to ask you why, why such hysteria grew in her.
36:35What cruelty could possibly merit so public a humiliation?
36:41What did you do to her, Inspector?
36:53I...
36:54I lied.
37:01Lied, you say?
37:05On what subject?
37:08Damn you.
37:11I offered her unfair hope, and I deceived her.
37:23I gave her false cause to believe her lost daughter alive.
37:27And I took another woman to my bed.
37:36Do you know, Inspector, of all the emotions,
37:38which is the most insidious and entrapping?
37:41Shame.
37:48It carves its home in the marrow of your bones,
37:53and rests there for all time.
37:55Where can I find him?
38:08This John Good, whatever he is truly called.
38:21My secrets, Faze.
38:26A name I cannot give you.
38:27But there is a father, a doctor, as you know, and there was a brother.
38:33Both boys subjected to a regime, a physical regime akin, you might say, to torture.
38:38Feats of strength insisted upon.
38:41Their bodies stretched from an early age, beaten with sticks, bent down.
38:43But to what end, however?
38:44He could never articulate it with precision, only that he and his brother shared a curse.
38:51A curse that killed the boy's mother.
38:55A curse of the blood.
38:57And what of the brother?
38:57Drowned himself one morning.
39:01Beneath the waters of the Serpentine.
39:03A child you fear for.
39:06If it is Good's, you will think it similarly cursed.
39:23A curse of the blood, as Dr. Crabb would have it.
39:27Good's palsy, the premature death of his mother.
39:29An inherited handicap.
39:31Yes, and so?
39:32Medical mind!
39:37Huntington's career.
39:38Huntington's career.
39:40Slow death sentence, Reed.
39:41What?
39:42The piecemeal loss of all that makes you feel human.
39:46If either or both of the parents manifest signs of the disease, one or more of the offspring
39:52will invariably suffer also.
39:53If, however, those children manage to go through life and never manifest, the thread is broken.
39:59The reason why, then, this doctor father sought to make his sons impervious?
40:04To breed out the mutation.
40:06What, then, would he have made of Miss Brooks's tail?
40:09Perhaps he did not get sight of it.
40:10Not for a good while.
40:11Enjoyed her beauty until he collapsed eyes on her behind.
40:14It was disgust sending her to the streets.
40:16Until, until he wonders at his grandson, at what manner of man he might become.
40:21And goes to reclaim him.
40:22And goes to reclaim him.
40:38Isn't that stuck?
40:39Five, sir. Five men drowned at the Serpentine that year.
41:00Corcoran. Robert Corcoran, age 25.
41:03There is a zoologist named Corcoran. He's a research fellow at the Natural History Extension at the British Museum.
41:13He concerns himself almost exclusively with the practical development of theories first pronounced by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck,
41:19the biological inheritance of acquired characteristics.
41:23Our children flight. Strength and skills acquired in this life, so he proposes, may be handed down to those who must live the next.
41:30Corcoran is Chris' father. Corcoran has the child.
41:33Sergeant Draco Hanson, we are to South Kensington.
41:35Sir, should I?
41:39It's a big boy's game now, sir.
42:00Missed off. Take your mask off. Come on, take your mask off.
42:18Do you know what it is?
42:20Three boys!
42:21Watch out!
42:22Oh my god!
42:23I've got help!
42:24No, nobody's hit with this.

48:54from my room
48:55the chatter of the nurses
48:58once
49:00Once, beyond my window, I watched one of their number make love to the night porter.
49:12I have never known that, John, the secret intimacy of a woman that might have told me I was desired.
49:29Beautiful in another's eyes. You have known that, John. Do you remember it?
49:41I do.
49:43And what did it feel like?
49:46It felt like peace.
49:50Would you deny your son that peace, that joy, that hope?
50:03It is life, John. Only life is what you hold in your arms.
50:15It is life, John.
50:27It is life, John.
50:42Forever and always, Mr. Merrick, I shall remember you for this.
50:47He is my friend. You will do no less, Mr. Reid. You put all above yourself. I know that of you, sir.
50:59You are the best of men. It is no happy accident I came to you today. I know not what the result of this would be, but there is knowledge I must share with you.
51:15I, I, I, I should have said before, done before, but you see, I, I saw him. I, I, I saw Inspector Shai murder Sergeant Linklater.
51:34Detective Constable Flight, you will escort Mr. Merrick back to his rooms at the London. You remain outside his door and allow no man access unless it is my cell.
51:43Yes, sir. Please, Mr. Merrick, allow me.
51:54With me, sir. We must bring Chief Inspector Abelline to the air, Mr. Merrick's testimony.
52:04Mr. Merrick.
52:59How do, Mr. Mary?
53:18Why the long face?
53:21Could not do as you were bid, could you?
53:25Are you not a brave and noble fellow?
53:33And I, quite the contrary,
53:39forced to make a habit of stealing through these corridors
53:44to end another man's life.
53:48I might almost resent you for it.
53:53What will men say?
54:22The elephant man hoped to lay down and rest
54:30like any other Englishman.
54:38A forlorn and now tragic help.
54:53Oh, God.
55:00Oh, God.
55:02Oh, God.
55:04Oh, God.
55:10Oh, God.
55:12Oh, God.
55:14Oh, God.
55:18Oh, God.
55:25Oh, God.
55:27Oh, God.
55:29Oh, God.
55:31Oh, God.
55:39Oh, God.
55:41Oh, God.
55:41Oh, God.
55:43Oh, God.
55:45He must have lain back to rest his head.
55:54Oh, Joseph, you have your peace now.
56:08Oh, Joseph, you have your peace now.
56:30Oh, Joseph, you have your peace now.
56:39Oh, God.
56:41Oh, God.
56:43Oh, God.
56:45I have, this past hour, come from the grieving fireside of Frederick Treves.
56:54I have decided on what the Linklater jury shall now hear from him.
56:59Your sergeant succumbed to his injuries, Jedediah.
57:03I will not accept that, Fred.
57:05Myself.
57:06Likewise, Chief Inspector.
57:08Nonetheless, you shall both do so.
57:13There will be no more talk of this officer and his role that night.
57:19And you, Edmund, you will cease all questioning and suspicion
57:26of Inspector Shine's good name.
57:27You ask the impossible.
57:29You ask me to willfully fail in my duty.
57:32You are both too valuable to the preservation of peace in this quarter.
57:38And I will not have that under my hand.
57:44The two of you.
57:47You shake hands.
58:00Now!
58:02I take orders from a man to come here.
58:13I serve as the needs of another I call husband.
58:15And there is the man, Duggan, who owns me.
58:18Rita, swear to God if anything happens to her, I swear.
58:20What is it you fear?
58:21I swear!
58:22What is it you fear?
