00:00The End
00:02The End
00:04Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been three months since my last confession.
00:07And you come now to accuse yourself?
00:10I do, Father.
00:12Of which sin, my son?
00:14I am a liar.
00:30The End
00:57Rang their voices out in prayer
01:01Cate Ireland say they rose
01:04Cate Ireland say you
01:07Went for air in theory mode
01:10High upon the gallows tree
01:13Swung the noble hearted tree
01:16Rang they up the ragged stair
01:19Rang their voices out in prayer
01:23Rang their voices out in prayer
01:27Shetty!
01:29What are you doing here?
01:31Get out of here!
01:33Rang their voices out in prayer
01:35Cessna's son!
01:40Shut up, I dig!
01:44Cate Ireland say you
01:47Cate Ireland
01:53There is a God.
02:07Who here would help a true patriot?
02:13A humble man wronged by the cruel iniquities of this uncaring government.
02:19A brother, a warrior for justice.
02:23Who would help me?
02:28The keys.
02:29Will you not give me the keys?
02:31Are ye men or are ye mice?
02:34Are ye Irish men and women or not?
02:37If not now, then never!
02:44Come on, Booker. Good night.
02:46What do you call a dead Englishman?
02:54A good start.
02:56Jesus.
02:57Is this to be laid at your door?
03:13The bar's on you, with shame and elephants.
03:20I hope you were not bored, Inspector.
03:23Oh, by no means, Miss Compton.
03:25They come with a furbough, your friends.
03:27They are not my friends.
03:29They befriend me.
03:31There is a difference.
03:32A settlement movement.
03:34The men and women raised in the gracious avenues of Bath
03:37and the rolling Surrey Downs now making their home here.
03:40And the hope that the benighted souls they now rub against
03:43might somehow be elevated by such noble compound.
03:46And you doubt their sincerity?
03:47I doubt their efficacy.
03:48People wish to improve conditions.
03:50And you do not wish for improvement in people's lives?
03:52No, I, of course.
03:54I fear they will be disappointed.
03:57Men, I find.
03:58And women.
03:59Yes, they too.
04:02In my experience, humans more often choose to resist transformation
04:07and embrace it.
04:10And you, Inspector.
04:12I invite you to an audience with an over-educated cabal of reformists and idealists,
04:18and you choose to attend.
04:22Well, surely that is a transformation of sorts, is it not?
04:26Inspector Reed, you're wanted sir.
04:30Miss Cobden.
04:32My thanks.
04:33Time with you is, as ever, educative.
04:47Ah, Inspector.
04:48Fresh from the admiring attentions of a counsellor for Bowen Bromley?
04:51for Bowen Bromley?
04:53Sergeant, that's our Newgate driver.
04:55Yes, sir, Morris.
04:57Fell from the seat of the Mariah
04:58as it passed underneath the clothesline.
05:00Moved no more.
05:01Convict calls for assistance.
05:04Boy obliges.
05:05He frees himself scabbers.
05:06Any reports from the community
05:07on either boy or prisoner?
05:09Irish round there.
05:10Shut up like an oyster.
05:11This one I pronounce dead.
05:16No clubbing, no shooting, no stabbing,
05:18heart failure most likely,
05:19but I'm gonna open him up,
05:21and I'm gonna get you sure.
05:23So what was it, opportunism?
05:24A stroke of luck for the escapee?
05:25Do we have a name?
05:27We do, sir.
05:29Aidan Galvan, incarcerated at our pleasure since 1868.
05:34Irish Republican Brotherhood.
05:36Sent down with eight other members of the IRB
05:38after the Clerkenwell bombing.
05:40Flathead fiends tried to dynamite a prison,
05:42blew a crater out of the street next door in its stead.
05:4512 dead civilians, murdered at his head.
05:48It is a pitiless killer who now walks free.
05:51But, sir, he has not walked abroad in this city
05:53for over 20 years.
05:53He will be swiftly found.
05:55And your method in so doing, Flight?
05:57We roused the Whitechapel Irish, Inspector.
06:00And the thought of that action sits easy with you, does it?
06:03I know what side I stand on, sir.
06:10Sergeant, you took a squad of men on, sir.
06:12The years roll round,
06:14yet it is ever Irish heads on the end of my club.
06:21Police!
06:22Now, everybody stay calm.
06:24We're just having a little look around.
06:25No television, please!
06:26He's an Irish scum!
06:27Watch your mouth, Pete!
06:28All right, then!
06:33Stay on the side, girls!
06:43Oh, boy!
06:44Have you not walked the streets the last three years?
06:46The IRB has given up its guns.
06:48The days when a fiending could be found hidden inside her barrel are past.
06:51We live in peace now.
06:53There's a prisoner on the loose, girl.
06:55IRB.
06:56With a taste for nothing but the bloody destruction of innocent life.
06:59You're one to talk.
07:01You look in your eye.
07:02Quite a taste for it yourself.
07:05His name is Galvin.
07:07Once, he laid dynamite.
07:10Now, we will search this house, and you will move aside,
07:14or you will know prison life yourself.
07:20Although, one must be careful of these bohemians, Reed.
07:26I mean, they promise much, certainly,
07:28but their casual air of impudence
07:30is more often a disguise, I found.
07:33But what can only be described as a chilly disinclination
07:37when proceedings come to a point.
07:40Captain, tell me, I am curious.
07:44We are now both well enough known to each other, you and I.
07:47Indeed, there are sides to our lives
07:49shared with few others, and yet you persist in this ceaseless goading.
07:55Why do you suppose this is so?
07:58Because we're men, Reed, and that is what men do.
08:02We needle, we goad.
08:05Because if we did not, we would be forced to speak the truth.
08:08Suppose for just one moment that was not the...
08:11Suppose for one minute that was not the case,
08:15what would the truth say?
08:16The truth?
08:19That the good counsellor fits with you,
08:21that the two of you look right together.
08:23And that I'm sorry
08:24that your life is not less...
08:27complex.
08:28And you needn't concern yourself with conspiracies,
08:35at least not as far as this man's concerned.
08:37He got fluid in the lungs,
08:39arthroma of the coronary arteries,
08:40infarction of the myocardium.
08:44His heart collapsed on him.
08:45Your convict got lucky.
08:47You have your mother's way with the pot still, I see.
09:07Is it you waiting, Galvin?
09:08It is, Evelyn.
09:13Aye, oui, Carol, Evelyn.
09:17You're haunted.
09:21It is a chance to be wanted, I can tell you.
09:27Yet another evil of this bastard government,
09:30that they kept me from you.
09:32And this government you speak of,
09:35prevents you from writing letters also?
09:37I am not the letter-writing kind, Evelyn.
09:39No.
09:41You're the gunpowder-plotting kind.
09:42So what'll you do now, Evelyn?
09:49Before the police find you and tear your skin from you?
09:52Well, there are one or two errands I must run.
09:55And then there is you.
09:57I would know you.
09:59Help you if I can.
10:02Are you happy, Evelyn?
10:03Is your life what you would wish it?
10:09I live here, don't I?
10:11What do you think?
10:12You would leave this place?
10:14No, given the choice, would stay.
10:16It is the arsehole of the world, is it not?
10:19With your permission,
10:20I will have to see about removing the pair of us from it.
10:23Mr. Parnell.
10:35The acceptable face of Ireland.
10:37A Protestant.
10:39Trust him, Whittle.
10:41Trust an Irishman.
10:44I'd sooner play chess with an orangutan.
10:46I was 20 years with the Irish Constabulary,
11:05and I'll tell you this.
11:07The Irishman is a Negro turned inside out.
11:11Given only to slavishness and violence.
11:16The Irishman harps on freedom.
11:26Freedom to do what, exactly?
11:28Shoot landowners?
11:29Yeah.
11:30Thieve livestock?
11:32Explode dynamite?
11:33Yeah, yeah.
11:34The Irishman was put on this earth to be ruled.
11:37And it is up to us, gentlemen, to rule him.
11:40Quite so.
11:41I'm for my rest.
11:43Very well, ladley.
11:45Good night.
11:46I wish agonies on you, Mr. Knightley.
11:53And in hell soon.
11:54I wish agonies on you, Mr. Knightley.
11:56And in hell soon.
11:58I wish agonies on you.
12:17I wish agonies on you, Mr. Knightley would like to jump in.
12:18I wish again we could vouch for the assault.
12:21I wish I真的 �assembled you.
12:22Bastards.
12:52This for your time, Pinkerton, and you, Inspector, are with me.
13:09A convicted brotherhood man has sprung from these streets, and you thought not to say?
13:13Hardly sprung, Fred. Driver's heart failed. Garvin's been in a cell for over 20 years.
13:18I'm sure he can barely piss straight.
13:20His physical condition is not germane, Inspector. How do you think this plays?
13:25It is Whitechapel freeze Irish dynamite and blows it back to London.
13:31Michael Donovan, IRB, centre point of the Whitechapel Circle.
13:36Mr. Aberline, our masters meet in banquet halls.
13:39The IRB is now a recognised political party that negotiates with your government.
13:44The days when such men as ourselves convened at such places as this
13:48to take secrets off each other are in the past.
13:51And yet here I am, dragged from my breakfast to converse with you here.
13:56Yourself and...
13:57Reid.
13:59H Division.
14:01And you, boy, are not a man such as I.
14:05We should have begun this task one day ago, Edmund.
14:07This is an act of war, sir.
14:10No, Michael.
14:12It is a retaliation.
14:15This, found beside the charred remains of a member of our Parliamate.
14:21A one-time Inspector General of the Royal Irish Constabulary.
14:25His escape was not sanctioned by leadership.
14:34Lamont Galvin is not affiliated, not no more.
14:38The position of my leadership still stands.
14:41We are from home world by peaceful means.
14:43Michael, your little knackers were still being felt by Father O'Huland
14:48when Aidan Galvin was plotting to blow holes in my city.
14:53Man like that is never for peace.
14:56I am old.
15:00But I know yet when an Irisher
15:03feeds me horse shit,
15:07where will he go?
15:11I don't know.
15:13Please.
15:14Please.
15:18He has a daughter!
15:27Evil and Foley.
15:29War made of the Black Rose.
15:31Good lad, Michael.
15:33Good lad.
15:34No, Fred.
15:35He is yet too green.
15:36Nonetheless, in the time available, he's the best we have.
15:40Detective Blunt's face is right,
15:41his voice is right,
15:43but still, he may sit beside and watch for Galvin,
15:45discern his purpose if, indeed, he does seek her out.
15:51I have not forgotten the boy you lost last year, Edmund,
15:55but you will lose more before this light is out
15:58and nothing to be done to change that fact.
16:02You oblige me, Inspector.
16:04Flight, this man Galvin,
16:10there is a daughter, we are told.
16:11Mother of a woman named Foley, Bethann Foley.
16:14I shall get to the archives, sir,
16:15see what might be found.
16:16No flight.
16:17Sergeant Arthurton will manage.
16:20Chief Inspector Abiline has worked for you.
16:24If you've the chops for it, son.
16:28Yes, sir, I have.
16:29What does it you do to our new gate driver?
16:58There's a link here, Reed.
17:00Your detonator was charged with a Leiden jar.
17:02It's a glass bottle with silver sheeting around it,
17:05set to carry current.
17:07Knightley lays back in his bed to rest.
17:10The bed springs depress,
17:12connects the circuit,
17:15and boom,
17:17electricity,
17:19which is interesting,
17:19because now we have to ask ourselves
17:21if our convict was freed
17:23with the design
17:24of laying this charge
17:25beneath Knightley's bed.
17:27That is a shock scar.
17:30Well, insufficient to cause his heart
17:32to give up.
17:33No, it is a vulnerable organ.
17:37Charge would have needed
17:38to have been significant.
17:39However,
17:40when conducted into him,
17:41I know not how.
17:43With me, Sergeant.
17:43Mariah makes its way along.
17:54Where did it stop?
17:57Somewhere here.
18:01Let's take a look, shall we?
18:02Yes.
18:03Yes.
18:04Yes.
18:05Yes.
18:06Yes.
18:07Yes.
18:08Yes.
18:09Yes.
18:10Yes.
18:11Yes.
18:12Yes.
18:13And what we thought,
18:36chance,
18:37is now plotted conspiracy.
18:39Quite so.
18:40But by the IRB?
18:41No.
18:41When they kill,
18:43they do so to scream
18:43their grievance aloud.
18:44They would never disguise
18:45their purpose in this way.
18:47The murdered MP,
18:49Knightley,
18:49known for his vicious prejudice,
18:51certainly,
18:51but I would like to know
18:53who else,
18:54apart from the IRB,
18:55might celebrate his death.
18:56not yes.
18:57You're right.
18:57No.
18:58No.
18:58No.
18:59No.
18:59You're right.
19:04Very good.
19:04No.
19:04No.
19:08No.
19:09No.
19:10No, no.
19:11No.
19:13No.
19:15No.
19:16No.
19:17No.
19:18No.
19:19Yes, French?
19:26Uh, lemonade.
19:30Whoever's your poison.
19:43Oh, Father dear, I often hear
19:47You speak all there inside
19:50Her lofty hills and valleys green
19:55Her mountains rude and wild
19:58They say she is a lovely land
20:03Wherein a saint might dwell
20:07Ah, why did you abandon it?
20:12Michael, what happened?
20:14Did your pigeons turn on you?
20:16A word with you, Evie?
20:17In private?
20:18Well, as you can see, we have a crowd in.
20:20Will you return in an hour?
20:21No!
20:26Outside.
20:27Well, if you'll make a scene.
20:29Your pa will be needing food and shelter, he will not be able to rely on the IRB for some support.
20:42And where else will he come other than to see how his wee girl has grown?
20:47Twenty years?
20:49More than.
20:49More than.
20:50And not a single communication of affection is delivered to me from behind those bars.
20:54Why would he remain in the city when a boat for Banchu Bay or Ellis Island might be his for the Borden?
20:58Because he has a taste for murdering Englishmen when the IRB dictates that such actions are of the past.
21:04He may be an old limp cock tottering his way to the grave, but there's a warrior in your papa yet.
21:10A warrior that needs pacifying.
21:12Important, therefore, and I'm sure you understand, that it is me that finds him first, not the blues.
21:17And why is that like you?
21:20So you may put a bullet in his skull?
21:23Don't be forgetting which body of men it was that paid your orphan away in this life.
21:27Your mommy dead and gone, the brother who was more of a father to you than he ever was.
21:31This the way you London boys hope to charm a lady, is it?
21:34Bring your boys to stand and tread and bully her.
21:36Did I ask for your help, country boy?
21:39No, I did not.
21:41No lemonade, away with you.
21:44Go on.
21:47That's right, Mark Savage, back on the boat.
21:56I remember my words.
21:58Aidan Galvin.
21:59He comes skulking about.
22:01I'm the first to know.
22:07Girl's mother, Bethann Foley, kept IRB men safe and secret off the streets.
22:12But she passed late 67 in the house fire.
22:14Ladies and gentlemen, imagine, Inspector, the dance I had to perform when it emerged that Whitechapel 8th Division had requested the personal and professional particulars of so recently deceased a dignitary as Cecil Knightley.
22:29I do imagine it now, and I am grateful.
22:31And so you should be, Inspector.
22:33The bloated fathead, set on commissions, chaired them also.
22:38Parliamentary delegation to decide which and who might be offered government contracts for public work.
22:45Power to make men rich.
22:47Or otherwise.
22:48Flying.
22:49Chief, it's better.
22:50You are a poor lost immigrant, searching for a home amongst your own.
22:56What do you do straying off the streets to fraternize with the metropolitan police?
23:03I made approach, sir, but was rebuffed.
23:08I thought it judicious to retreat.
23:11And you said you had the chops for it, son.
23:19Gentlemen, you get back on our flight.
23:23Here.
23:24This commission of Knightley's lobbies to have the basin slum at Shadwell torn down.
23:30The Central and Southeast Electricity Commission wished the basin to be emptied and repurposed for a new power station.
23:37And has invited bids to be tendered for how that power station might be constructed, while the London County Council would prefer for more sanitary dwellings to be built.
23:45Well, at least now you've got a fresh excuse to row yourself past Councilor Comden's dorms, Rector.
23:52You, son.
23:53Sit down.
24:05No.
24:07You know, Constable, I hate to, uh, chop your onions here.
24:11The very thought of it.
24:12But you keep resisting drink.
24:13Most men on this planet are gonna have a hard time trusting you.
24:16Never mind a piss crew of Irish exiles.
24:18You are to gain the trust of a girl who's known little else but the inside of a taproom.
24:21And then, of course, there's a matter of how best to penetrate that frosty exterior and melt the fruitful vine within.
24:27I wish it were not so, but there is little Captain Jackson has left unlearned in this subject.
24:32Now, she's pretty, correct?
24:37She is?
24:39Mm.
24:40And she builds both Crenelation and Portcullis about herself.
24:43No sorcery known will allow a man ingress until she first lowers that drawbridge down.
24:50You need to make her start wondering after you.
24:52Feel the twinge of intrigue, fellow feelings, or vulnerability.
24:58Here.
24:59Here.
25:00You see?
25:01Mother.
25:02Cruelly killed when she was but a child, father in lockdown, and a stranger to her.
25:10You need to make yourself the same flag.
25:11You need to build yourself a story.
25:13Tragic loss.
25:14Tragic loss.
25:15Destitution.
25:16It's got to be perfect.
25:18It's got to be detailed.
25:19But most important, it has got to be felt.
25:23Right here.
25:24In your heart.
25:26With your own secrets.
25:27When you lie, you lie.
25:30With your own hidden truth.
25:32We do not have all year, however.
25:35The woman still needs to somehow notice him.
25:39Then, we mark him out.
25:41But what kind of man would this woman most likely pity?
25:44A victim of police brutality, perhaps?
25:46Hmm.
25:47Well, I guess we'd have to find ourselves a brutal policeman.
25:51Drake, any spring to mind?
25:53Yeah.
26:00Put your hat down, constable.
26:01Come on.
26:02Let's have your hat.
26:06Now this...
26:07This with contrition.
26:08You understand.
26:14Oh!
26:15I'll get you flight.
26:16You're irresistible.
26:17Mmm!
26:29Good morning, lemonade.
26:30I'll take whiskey from you right now, miss.
26:32What are you offering?
26:34Seems I need to find your name for you.
26:36You may have my real one.
26:38I'm Bertrand Doyle.
26:42Then in you come Bertrand.
26:45I'm Evelyn.
26:47Three of them.
26:48In uniform.
26:51Accused me of vagrancy and did not care to wait for my defence.
26:54You were their sport.
26:56Nothing more.
27:01What brings you here Bertrand?
27:04Prospect of nowhere to sleep with the cobbles of Whitechapel.
27:07Work.
27:09Brings me, miss.
27:10The hope of it at least.
27:12Money.
27:14Food in my belly.
27:18And that's an improvement on home, is it?
27:22No home.
27:24Never was. Not much of it at least twice.
27:26My mother taken by typhus when I was five.
27:30Father taken by drink soon after.
27:32I've no knowledge of them.
27:36And that is why the lemonade.
27:37You have no need.
27:42You have no need.
27:45Not to impress me.
27:54Come.
27:55You have no need.
27:56I'd say nothing.
28:00Yeah?
28:01I am not a man.
28:03Look at that.
28:05It is the last night.
28:08No, no.
28:10I'm not sure if you're not going to drive this today.
28:12I am not going to be here, but I have to walk away.
28:13Take those boots off and rest.
28:15I will bring food for you.
28:23Thank you, Evelyn.
28:25Rest, Bertrand.
28:43Don't forget to relax.
28:45While the pipe is not so good, you can bend the knees to the front of me.
28:53It's sharp, and it's beautiful, but it's not past you.
28:58In this case, we're going to lie and continue.
28:59We'll keep the bottom of the arms.
29:01I'll just add the bottom of the arms.
29:04First, you'll notice the bottom of the arms.
29:07The bottom of the arms are not up to the ear.
29:11I'm sorry, they're so beautiful.
29:38One arrived for me to you on my birthday.
29:39They came to me inside a letter
29:41from a man who claimed you was my father.
29:43Was he that?
29:45If he is, then it seems I have two of them.
29:48Then where is the other?
29:51Oh, I've not seen so much of him.
29:52Not until recently, at least.
29:55He's from home, from Ireland?
29:57He's been in London all my life, but...
30:00out of reach.
30:03I'm sorry, I don't mean to be so obscure.
30:05All right.
30:06I feel without care in this life,
30:08and yet I'm made claim on by two men
30:09who are entire strangers to me.
30:12Even when my mother's still here,
30:13she might find it hard to offer clarity.
30:15From what folks here have said,
30:16she was not exactly exclusive in these matters.
30:19If I'd had a brother or a father, for that matter,
30:25I imagine I might have done this for him.
30:42Welcome with milk and bread and butter.
30:45The idea of the way other folks say it is,
30:52I mean, it's our family instruct us.
30:56Is it not to tell us who we are,
30:58how we should be?
30:58Without that instruction, it's hard sometimes,
31:15so I find,
31:16to,
31:16to make sense of ourselves,
31:22what we want,
31:23what is right here.
31:24You scare me.
31:35You scare me.
31:35Inspector, what a lovely surprise.
31:47Miss Crompton,
32:00a moment of your time.
32:02Of course, sir.
32:03Would you like to follow me?
32:06St. Paul's Wharfside,
32:07or what the people who must live in that slum called the basin,
32:10is felt to be dead land,
32:12without purpose.
32:14I would build new homes there.
32:15For the men of the Central and Southeast Electricity Commission, however,
32:18there is opportunity there for industrial development.
32:22It offers a convenient location.
32:24Coal can be delivered from Northumberland, South Wales,
32:27and used to fire the power station they propose.
32:30And the now atomized Mr Knightley
32:32sat to decide on which party would be awarded the privilege of constructing it,
32:36giving a motive to murder him to any electricity supplier
32:39who felt that Knightley would not support their bid.
32:42Indeed.
32:43It just so happens there will be a practical demonstration this afternoon
32:49by one Charles Broadwick,
32:50who hopes to present his suitability for such privilege.
32:55Broadwick is one of the many tenders to build it.
32:59The theater is on your beat.
33:01Is it not?
33:03The light above your door.
33:06The fire in your stove.
33:09The miniature steam train on your boys' bedroom floor.
33:12All will be brought into energetic purpose
33:15by your very own supply of electric current,
33:18arriving beneath the paving stones of your street
33:21and into the life of your home.
33:25None of this is in question.
33:28But yet, there is one debate left for us,
33:34a debate which must be decided before this future finds you.
33:36Where will this power be brought into being?
33:41How will it be delivered to your hearthside?
33:44Because for all its wonder,
33:47the electrical age is also one of profound danger, my friends.
33:50The choice we all face is between currents.
33:57Alternating current or direct current.
34:01Both cages are set for identical voltage but differing currents.
34:05The contrast between the two is alarming.
34:08If you please.
34:09Behold!
34:14Behold!
34:15Behold!
34:40Behold! Alternating cutlets.
34:44I send you away now, ladies and gentlemen, to ponder only this.
34:49Which of these currents would you allow into your home?
34:54There could be only one choice, and that is direct.
34:58Direct current for London, ladies and gentlemen.
35:14Good evening. Charles Broadwick of Broadwick Machine Works.
35:21If you have further questions, I'm only too happy to oblige.
35:24Breed. Police.
35:26Councillor Cobden.
35:28Ah! I am delighted.
35:30A member of our august and newly minted county council.
35:33And a man whose mind is designed to see truth wherever it is hid.
35:37And what truth would you have me describe here, Mr Broadwick?
35:40That animals and electricity do not make great bedfellows.
35:43You're not convinced by my demonstration, Mr Reed.
35:45I have to ask myself if that cage was even charged.
35:47Oh, Councillor, of course it is not.
35:49These animals, whilst never deer, still cost,
35:52and all men of science must economise.
35:56Mr Knightley, the man who was murdered this night last,
35:59I assume you knew of him?
36:01Knew him in life, mourn him in death,
36:04and currently await news of who next I must bribe.
36:08Parliament passed a law last year, Mr Broadwick, an anti-bribery law.
36:12Perhaps you'd care to correct your last statement.
36:14Oh! Come, Mr Reed.
36:16This is priceless. You're welcome to arrest me.
36:18But should you do so, you'll be forced to do likewise
36:20to all men who ever bid for governmental contracts.
36:24Every commercial body wishing to turn St Paul's Wharfside
36:26into a generating plant was paying nightly.
36:29The only secret you will discover for me, sir,
36:31is whether I was paying above or below his median rate.
36:35In fact, we should ask Mr Ferranti.
36:39Miss Cobden, you will, I am sure, be attending his exposition this evening.
36:43Indeed. It is the invitation of the season.
36:46But Mr Ferranti's power station at Detford
36:48is already constructed on the principle of alternating current.
36:51We must admire our rivals, Mr Reed, if we wish to be worthy of them.
36:56Of all the men who waited on Mr Knightley's influence,
36:58it was perhaps Mr Ferranti who placed most at stake.
37:01He would add to the power station he's already constructed at Detford,
37:04and with his new designer St Paul's,
37:06make his exclusive purpose to power all of central London
37:09for within his own halls.
37:10But there is talk of trouble and concerns over its scale
37:13and the scale of danger it represents.
37:23Mr Ferranti.
37:26Yes?
37:27Inspector Reed, please.
37:29How can I help you, sir?
37:31You find us preparing this evening's exposition?
37:34Yes.
37:35For men and women of influence.
37:38Influenced.
37:39You are cynical, Inspector.
37:40No, not of the science.
37:42But the means by which you purchase favour.
37:45So I must ask you whether or not you bribed Knightley
37:48to support your bid for St Paul's Wharfside.
37:51Yes, we gave the man money.
37:53But so we might not be ignored.
37:56The field of play thus levelled we were to win, Mr Reed.
38:00We are yet.
38:01My competitors cast spells of death and destruction
38:04as if they think the people of this city are Neanderthals
38:07to be terrified at the sight of fire.
38:09I have no need of such strategy.
38:11Electrical current is a fierce and unruly force.
38:14What alternating power promises is the means by which such ferocity is made benign.
38:20You drop the voltage using your transformer.
38:25Then you hive it off for domestic consumption.
38:27Indeed.
38:29I have removed the beast from the machine.
38:32Oh, I know what you wonder.
38:33Whether I might have motive to do worse to a man like Knightley
38:36than meet his demands of bribery.
38:38But I have no need to resort to murder
38:40when I have the perfect logic of science at my side.
38:43Do you strike you as the breed of man to consort with escaped dynamiters?
38:48Not so much, sir, no.
38:50Yet Galvin is connected to this circuit somewhere.
38:53And his beast remains intact.
38:55You touch him and I'm straight to the blues.
39:08Do you understand me?
39:10What's your name, boy?
39:14What's yours, sir?
39:15He is Bertrand.
39:17And this Bertrand is Aidan,
39:20who somehow now believes he has the right to be my protector.
39:23You do not.
39:26And do I deserve the right to a ward with you in private?
39:32Please, darling, I leave this city tonight, one way or another.
39:38I give his mom a merchant.
39:57The MP exploded in his rooms.
40:00That was you.
40:01Don't tell me you weep for him, Evelyn.
40:04No.
40:05I care not a thing for him.
40:08But somehow, fool that I am, I care for you.
40:10I know you will now be pursued and hanged right here in a city you hate so bitterly.
40:15I do dream, Dad, Evee.
40:18But I have one last task I must perform, and then...
40:22Look, my love.
40:24New York.
40:27One for you and this task achieved.
40:30One for me.
40:32And with enough fooling to see us righter than a dust house in the Five Pints.
40:37Now I know this is strange for you, Evelyn.
40:40I am unknown to you.
40:42And yet this...
40:44To provide this for you is like a dream for me.
40:49You don't have to befriend me, girl, not call me father, nor even look at me when we sail.
40:53But you take this chance.
40:57Take it.
40:58Take it.
41:12Aidan.
41:13Darling.
41:14Aidan.
41:17This task that you go to.
41:19Not for you to worry over, girl.
41:22I'll see you here later.
41:24All right?
41:26Wait.
41:28Do you know a man called Holland?
41:32Do you?
41:34He writes to me.
41:36And these letters...
41:38What do they say?
41:39Well, he sends one every birthday.
41:45He says that he's my father.
41:48Does he now?
42:09Do you know who's going to be?
42:10Is he gonna go there?
42:11He knows.
42:15He knows.
42:17He is an actor.
42:18He knows.
42:20He's doing.
42:21I don't know what's going on.
42:22He knows.
42:23He knows.
42:24He knows.
42:26He knows.
42:28He knows.
42:30He knows.
42:32So, you know...
42:34You can't.
42:35You take this to Inspector Reed of Lehman Street, I am flight, you do it now.
42:50Sergeant, message to Inspector Reed, urgent.
42:57He found letters, he says, important to the girl from America, a man laying claim to her
43:02parentage.
43:03Galvin is her father, is he not?
43:05And he was reclined in a cell at New Day.
43:07This man's name, Holland.
43:08However, letters to the girl since 1868, the year after her mother's death.
43:12And Galvin went down.
43:13All right, so he's made note of the different postmarks.
43:16Different towns and states till 1881, then his travels cease.
43:19Cease.
43:20There.
43:21Raritan, New Jersey.
43:23Raritan.
43:24Letter after letter to the girl, so we must assume this man Holland settles there.
43:29Menlo Park is in Raritan, is it not, Captain?
43:32It is, Reed.
43:33And thus the circuit's made.
43:35Menlo Park is an industrial park created by one Thomas Edison.
43:39The inventor?
43:40Also a man of business.
43:41All patents filed in more fields of inquiry than any man alive.
43:44Yet he's one ardent pursuit to secure the means by which the United States of America
43:48distributes its electricity and to secure it for his own chosen charge and current.
43:53He's for direct current.
43:54Unlike Ferranti, who is for alternating, is he not?
43:57But, akin to another man I have met recently, Dr. Charles Broadwick.
44:02Captain, you would trust Edison to own a telegraph machine, would you not?
44:06The leanest and fastest, Reed.
44:07Edison did indeed employ James Percival Holland, English physicist, alma mater, University
44:12College, London.
44:13And, wanted by us as a known IRB collaborator in the Clarke-O-Monts.
44:17Same circle as Aidan Galvin.
44:18Wanted but never brought to ground.
44:19Well, you got on a boat then?
44:20No.
44:21No.
44:22No.
44:23No.
44:24No.
44:25No.
44:26No.
44:27No.
44:28No.
44:29No.
44:30No.
44:31No.
44:32No.
44:33No.
44:34No.
44:35No.
44:36No.
44:37No.
44:38No.
44:39No.
44:40No.
44:41No.
44:42No.
44:43No.
44:44No.
44:45No.
44:46No.
44:47No.
44:48No.
44:49No.
44:50No.
44:51No.
44:52No.
44:53No.
44:54No.
44:55No.
44:56No.
44:57No.
44:58No.
44:59No.
45:00No.
45:01No.
45:02No.
45:03No.
45:04No.
45:05No.
45:06No.
45:07No.
45:08No.
45:09No.
45:10No.
45:11No.
45:12No.
45:13No.
45:14Charles Broadwick, like Holland, a champion of direct current.
45:19Charles Broadwick was once James Holland.
45:22He who sprung Aidan Galvin from his prison wagon
45:25and set him to kill Knightley.
45:27And just what business of yours is she
45:30to be writing to her all the way from America?
45:33And you had to, Aidan.
45:35Remember the girl fondly?
45:37Why should I not ask after her?
45:39Because she's not yours to ask after.
45:41Did you write? For yourself?
45:43I did not.
45:46Then is it not better that one of us did?
45:48One of us?
45:49Do not make me the same as you, one of us.
45:53Dynamite.
45:54That's all we ever shared.
45:56Dynamite.
45:58And a woman.
46:03Baton Foley was mine.
46:05She was not Aidan.
46:06Not alone.
46:07She was never particular.
46:10And Evelyn.
46:12Tell me, you bastard!
46:14You've been jailed.
46:15I was bound to New York.
46:17Baton Foley told me that I am Evelyn's father.
46:21I asked if I might make myself numb to the girl.
46:26But I could not.
46:28Would not.
46:29I may send a presence, but I do not have the strength to be a father.
46:32And is that why you broke me out?
46:34So that I might finally have the truth from you?
46:38Release you so that you might know freedom.
46:40And vent your rage against this country once more.
46:43Don't come the charitable English rebel with me, Jamie.
46:47It is a venting designed to suit your purpose and ambition.
46:52This task you would set me on is not for ideas, but for your own advancement and profit.
46:59Perhaps.
47:00But you will pay for it, Aidan.
47:02And it is that profit which will see you to New York.
47:05Before then, however, half of the London County Council waits on Sebastian Ferranti's word.
47:13And on your dynamite.
47:17Your last chance to spill the blood of British politicians.
47:21And mine to extinguish my competitors.
47:25The Aidan Galvin I remember would never have declined such an opportunity.
47:28There ain't no blood.
47:31You're gonna go broke.
47:34There ain't no blood.
47:51There ain't no blood.
47:58Flight, sir.
48:05You need to see this.
48:07The device described here, Garvin has it.
48:10Another electric circuit to detonate the explosive.
48:13This, what is this within?
48:16A wax stem.
48:17That's a delay. It allows them to get clear.
48:20See, the wax plug keeps the electric contact plates apart.
48:22No circuits made, therefore the device is harmless unless you put it beside a heat source.
48:28Or, inside one, Ferentis Transformer.
48:33The Transformer melts the wax, allowing the plates into Congress.
48:38Boom.
48:52Counselor.
48:53How wonderful to see you.
48:54Oh, my pleasure.
48:55I'm thrilled you could join us.
48:56I'm looking forward to it.
48:57Wonderful.
48:58We have a fine show in store.
49:10Good evening, Miss Carlton Street.
49:11Good evening, Miss Carlton Street.
49:12Ladies and gentlemen, I could of course wish you welcome to the future, but whilst this
49:36most certainly is the future I am to show you, I would not do so with fireworks, although such
49:42things are certainly within my gift. I will show you. Here, piped from our power station at Deptford,
49:50I may deliver almost 800 kilowatts of generated power.
49:54Enough not only to kill whichever dumb animal my competitors would use as slanderous scaremongery,
50:07but to stop a stampeding herd of bison if need be. But no, I do not hope to impress you with such
50:17power, but rather with the means by which such power is mastered, transformed by alternating current,
50:25and put to whichever peaceful purpose we choose. I will bring light to your streets and peace to
50:36your homes. The city illuminated, ladies and gentlemen.
50:54Verratti! Shut it down now!
51:07Mr. Reid, explain yourself! Shut it down! Do it now, sir!
51:10Everybody out now. Get up and get out. Nice and calmly.
51:14This must be dismantled. Why? Because we believe it may have been sabotaged.
51:21You should have blown by now. You go back in there, and you fix it.
51:28No, I am no longer your dynamite delivery boy. You do it yourself, Jamie. I go now to let Evelyn know the truth of who she is.
51:36She might be your flesh and blood, but she's my guard, and I will see her right in this world.
51:41Aaron go bra, Jamie.
51:43Everyone out now. Come on. Let's get up and get out of here.
51:50Come on now, ladies and gentlemen. Keep moving. Yes, sir. Do it. Come on.
51:58You're looking with this brother? James Holland. Good evening.
52:13Inspector Reid. You are under arrest. Murder and attempted murder. Multiple counts. You are for the rope, sir.
52:20Infernal machines. No! No!
52:22Help him, sir!
52:36God bless Loughbill. Safe journey.
52:38I'll just head down. Take care.
52:43Yes, all right. God bless a lovely safe journey.
52:47Will you sit down? Take care.
52:50Take care of yourself.
52:55I thought my father had scared you all for good.
52:58Perhaps he did.
53:01Still, my courage is found now.
53:04Should I prepare myself to fight him?
53:07Perhaps.
53:09You'll leave with him, I think.
53:13I do, Bertrand.
53:16America.
53:19I understand, Evelyn.
53:27May I wait, would you?
53:29Perhaps shake his hand.
53:43Think you're leaving, do you, Eden?
53:58And you are?
54:00I am your center.
54:03Your colonel.
54:04Colonel?
54:06Your milk pays, spy.
54:12There will be peace.
54:14There will never be peace.
54:28Does he not come?
54:29Well, he was never reliable.
54:31Perhaps you should sail with me.
54:36Oh, send me an address and I'll come find you.
54:38Well, who should I send it to, Bertrand?
54:47Whoever you are, that is not your real name.
54:58Who are you?
55:01Go, take your boat, Evelyn.
55:03No.
55:08And did you lose your mother?
55:12And your father, too?
55:16Those things are true.
55:19And the rest?
55:20Take your boat.
55:25Take your boat.
55:50One might say you saved my life, Inspector.
56:05That being the case, I have put my mind to how I might thank you.
56:09I thought I might allow you to walk with me this Sunday afternoon.
56:14At Hunstead, perhaps, we could take a blanket and some cold wine.
56:18Miss Cobden.
56:20Miss Cobden.
56:21When will you call me Jane, Inspector?
56:23Miss Cobden.
56:25I...
56:27I do not know what you think it is that has passed between us, but...
56:33I am married.
56:35Mr. Reid.
56:38Edmund.
56:40I am, as you know, for the present and the future, but never the past.
56:44There is nothing but black magnetism there.
56:46Allow me.
56:50And I will help you to resist it.
56:56I am sorry, Miss Cobden.
57:16You run them.
57:28Confess it.
57:29No, sir!
57:30Yes, sir!
57:31You pander and pimp those boys who ought to be safe in your care!
57:33I want you.
57:35Tell me we can do this.
57:36We can do this.
57:38You'll pay.
57:39Yes, sir.
57:40There's a mine.
57:41Silver and copper.
57:42Then a week.
57:43Two hundred.
57:44And the value just soars.
57:45How would you like the stars to turn the biggest bank from London upside down?
57:49I acted in the best interests of my bank and its investors.
57:52By lying to them.
57:54What is the purpose of our work?
57:55Oh shit!
57:57Hmm, shall I remember?
57:58Oh shit!
58:07Oh shit!
58:11Oh shit!
58:13Yeah.
