00:00To be continued...
00:30Sergeant Arford, Mr. Drake, he has fought Inspector Scheid.
00:45He has.
00:48Did he win, sir?
00:53Councillor Copden, a word with you, if I might.
00:58A comment, if you will.
01:00On my purpose here, you are welcome to it, Mr. Best.
01:03I am set on the renovation of St. Paul's Wharfside.
01:05Oh, no, good lady, I have a surfeit of those already, no.
01:08Sir, it's comment on other matters, I see.
01:11Yourself and Detective Inspector Reed, you have been friends long?
01:16We have interests that conjoin, politicians and police.
01:20It will ever be the case.
01:22I know, I know, it's a sweet story.
01:25Yourself and Edmund Reed, lined forevermore,
01:28on his night-time visits to your offices,
01:32conjoined good and proper, I imagine.
01:36Ma'am!
01:36Oh, good God, no!
01:49Shine, shine, shine, shine, shine, shine, shine, shine!
03:24He's not without skill, Arterton tells me.
03:29He's not skill he needs.
03:33Bennett, Mr. Hinchcliffe.
03:37Now, the man who defrauded him, the man who murdered him, perhaps,
03:41he sits in our cells not ten yards from where we stand.
03:44Body, body.
03:45Jeff, Jeff.
03:47May I show him to you?
03:50Cross.
03:56Nathaniel Hinchcliffe, the man you cheated, Mr. Werner.
04:00The man you say I cheated?
04:02His murdered body lies in my dead room, ready to give up the secrets of its death.
04:07Well, then that is where you must find them.
04:09Because you will get none from me.
04:12Have it from me, Reed.
04:14Reed, the look of disgust on your face when you struck me.
04:19You lack the stomach for another man's torment.
04:22Perhaps.
04:23But might I introduce you to my friend here?
04:28His name's Drake.
04:30Perhaps you've heard it spoken.
04:31I heard it. He was gone.
04:32As you can see, he is not.
04:37Now, Nathaniel Hinchcliffe.
04:39You defrauded him, and then you had him murdered, did you not?
04:45What inspector?
04:47Has your dog gone lame?
04:57Sergeant Drake.
04:58You have my warrant, Carter.
05:01I have not taken it back.
05:04And so, I am not your sergeant to be bid no more.
05:09You retrieved Hinchcliffe's broken body.
05:12That man in there, he will not talk to me, and I cannot...
05:14You cannot find it in yourself to force him.
05:18No.
05:20And so, once more, require me to do so for you.
05:27Inspector.
05:29I will not be that man no more.
05:31I cannot.
05:34Do you not see what it has brought me, sir?
05:38Each lip I've fattened.
05:42Each head I've beaten against steel bars at your bidding.
05:45And you stood there in silence,
05:47waiting for their secrets to pour forth.
05:50Inspector, look at the ruins of our lives.
05:59Anyone we might care for, or bring close to us.
06:04Anyone.
06:06They suffer, and we lose them.
06:08Do you think these facts are not related?
06:12No, that is not the way the universe functions.
06:14There is no...
06:15There is no God stood in judgment.
06:18Who means in God, sir?
06:20No, I talk of life.
06:22And life, Mr. Reid,
06:24is offended by you and me.
06:26Mr. Blewett?
06:41Mr. Blewett?
06:46Mr. Blewett, is that my name atop of tonight's bill?
06:48It is, Rose.
06:50And I hope to not receive another visit from your friends,
06:53and then now appreciate the efforts I make for you.
07:02All my days, all of them, whatever happens,
07:06I will always be grateful to you.
07:09Rose, please, hush.
07:10This is not to be late at my door.
07:12But if it is not you, I think, then?
07:17No thanks required.
07:25Nonetheless, sir,
07:27you have them.
07:33Miss Rose.
07:36Susan.
07:37Might have waited in bed all morning for my kippers.
07:42Come and go, chicken breast, not a dog.
07:53That one's there.
07:54Thank you, too.
07:56Thank you, sir.
08:01Good day to you.
08:05Lunchtime repast for you boys.
08:10Mr. Judge,
08:12you may feel protected
08:13by your familial relationship
08:16with the station house,
08:18but we are both patient
08:20and watchful men.
08:21Should you try to sell our diamonds, sir,
08:23we will have it from you.
08:25And that item recovered,
08:27we shall then take your head.
08:42This will rile you.
08:54Then don't say it.
08:58Our father would have been proud of your skill.
09:15Pleased that you put it to use.
09:17Our diamond.
09:28Still in there, then.
09:30Those shits and suits still watch you?
09:32I think they're in love.
09:34And it stays put.
09:36And I must hit you for more spending.
09:39You want more money from me?
09:43Go to that cabinet,
09:44bottom right drawer,
09:46get yourself an apron
09:46and make yourself useful.
09:49I reach for something here.
09:52Supporting opinion may be conducive.
09:54Mr. Reid gave it to me
10:11to help me hunt for you, Bennett.
10:13He said I would return it to you.
10:19See how it has.
10:24You want coffee, girl?
10:36No, Roz, you won't.
10:38You stay out of here.
10:49I'm told there will be scouts attending
10:51from the West End Playhouses.
10:54I worry, Bennett.
10:56I fear the song I'm to perform is not...
10:59I don't sing it very well.
11:02But it's fashionable.
11:04And comic.
11:12You must do what you think best, Roz.
11:14If I was to do what you thought best.
11:17I know no songs.
11:22But if you ask me...
11:24You must use a song
11:27that speaks to your heart.
11:31Sing it from there, girl.
11:33Will you come to Bluett?
11:35Watch me.
11:37It would mean the world.
11:38Then I shall come.
11:57Constable.
11:58Is it true what the streets say?
12:02The Bennett Drake has emerged from the Porpoise Pit
12:06with the body of Nathaniel Hinchcliffe in his arms.
12:10It is, Mr. Stein.
12:10And that body
12:15now lay beneath the keen eye of Edmund Reign's American?
12:20In all likelihood.
12:21And I imagine
12:29yours an opinion
12:34or Lehman Street
12:36would actually hear.
12:37What?
12:52You kill me?
12:55I made you, son.
13:01What were you?
13:04Before Jedidai's shine.
13:07Lay his eyes on you.
13:09I was a bad man when you found me.
13:13But you have since made evil of me, sir.
13:37You see?
13:41I cannot be ended.
13:51Hmm.
13:53Your brother's qualified to assist using?
13:55Our father.
13:56A doctor himself enrolled us in the University of Virginia.
13:59Study medicine.
14:00Tweak here.
14:00Last of the course.
14:02I did not.
14:03So I can, uh, approximate
14:05a number of factors.
14:07Gender, age,
14:09time of death,
14:10and manner of that passing.
14:12From these?
14:13I said approximate.
14:14Number one,
14:15a lady from the wearing on her teeth
14:17that says she's past 50.
14:19Got two and three, both men.
14:21Mr. Two here, likewise, past 50.
14:23Mr. Three, the somewhat younger man,
14:25perhaps only recently advanced into adulthood.
14:27Two, however,
14:29well, he has a peculiarity.
14:33Bowling in the tibia.
14:35The maxilla's enlarged.
14:38The man had Padgett's disease.
14:40Padgett's?
14:41That's the, um,
14:42misshapen enlargement of the bones,
14:43is it not?
14:44You're a medical man yourself, sir.
14:45He reads.
14:47So you said you might hazard a time of death,
14:48what, a month?
14:49Season and a year.
14:50There's two factors to consider.
14:53Cartilage
14:54and the wasps.
14:56Wasps.
14:57So we ought to be led to the truth
14:58by dead insects.
15:00Hey, without them, we're nowhere.
15:03That nest in the ribcage,
15:05now the queen could only have built it
15:07in the summer of last year.
15:09Not this past.
15:11She had flew out and stung me on your nose.
15:14So does the frost of the intervening winter
15:15which has killed them?
15:17Summer of 89,
15:17when she makes this body her home,
15:19it's already got to be empty of flesh.
15:20So these are dead
15:21the spring of 1889?
15:23Give or take.
15:24That's cartilage.
15:30In all three, you can find the same.
15:32This cartilage not rotted?
15:33Breaks down slower than muscle and tissue.
15:35It is then preserved by the same winter chill
15:37that has killed the wasps.
15:38Quite so.
15:39Yeah?
15:39Although,
15:41in Mr. Three there,
15:42it's somewhat better preserved.
15:43Suggesting what,
15:44that he died a month or so later?
15:45That he was murdered a month or so later.
15:50He has this correct?
15:51I wouldn't have picked it,
15:52but my brother here
15:54is somewhat conspiratorial by leaning.
15:56I'm a man for patterns, inspector.
15:59This here is the thyroid cartilage.
16:01Lives right above the trachea.
16:02See?
16:03These striations,
16:04they're minute,
16:05less than a millimeter in diameter,
16:07but something very thin
16:08has cut all the way through
16:10with very great intent.
16:12And these three share the same markings
16:15as these preserved thyroids?
16:16They do.
16:18The force
16:18and conviction
16:20with which Mr. Hinchcliffe was garrotted,
16:23it is an unusual feat,
16:24is it not,
16:25for the incision to penetrate so deep?
16:26It suggests an extreme relish
16:29for the task, yes.
16:30And one might imagine
16:31a similar relish
16:33being brought to bear
16:34on the thyroid cartilages
16:36of these cadavers.
16:37The same means of execution
16:39by the same hand.
16:41One may.
16:58Please, sir,
16:59you are to arrest me.
17:02What charge?
17:05Flight.
17:07What charge?
17:12Accessory to murder.
17:17Whose?
17:20Whose?
17:21It's three.
17:21No man curses me stronger than my soul.
17:23You tell me now.
17:31Nathaniel Hinchcliffe.
17:35Joseph Merrick.
17:37Joseph Merrick.
17:42But he fell asleep.
17:43He, uh...
17:44He was asphyxiated
17:45by the weight of his own body.
17:46He was.
17:48Asphyxiated.
17:50Sir, and by the weight of himself also,
17:51but it was not he
17:52who removed the supports.
17:53But you were there.
17:55You were outside.
17:56I was.
17:58Sir.
18:03Move!
18:03Move!
18:03Move!
18:04Jack!
18:09Inspector Shine.
18:13How do you know this?
18:15He sent me here.
18:17Knew you, Mr. Reid,
18:18had your eyes on his activities.
18:20And knowing that you could find
18:21no man to join you here
18:22had me volunteer.
18:25I'm sent here
18:26to spy on you, sir.
18:26Sergeant Arthur,
18:40throw that man in my office
18:42there into a cell.
18:44Yes, sir.
18:45On what charge, Mr. Reid?
18:50Arbitral.
18:50Reid!
18:57Are you in command of yourself?
18:58Do you know what it is you do?
18:59I know precisely.
19:01We wonder, do we not,
19:02if those skeletal remains
19:03were taken by the same
19:04and has killed Mr. Hinchcliffe.
19:05Now,
19:06flight's testimony
19:07gives me
19:07Jedediah Shine
19:08for that last murder,
19:09but
19:09if I might name
19:11those corpses,
19:12discover their histories,
19:13and so join him
19:14with their deaths,
19:15then I can nail his coffin shot
19:16and put him in the earth
19:16for all time.
19:17And so,
19:19can you name him?
19:20I can't name him.
19:47Your timing is,
20:01as ever,
20:02entirely apt.
20:03What might have been
20:03scandalous gossip
20:05is now made fact.
20:08This journalist,
20:10best.
20:11In due course,
20:11I shall see him drowned
20:13in the northern outfall,
20:14but for now,
20:14I ask your patience.
20:15The three corpses
20:17that you discovered
20:18in that basin slum tenement,
20:21they begin to give up
20:22their secrets,
20:23secrets that may have
20:24great bearing
20:25on the research
20:25I undertook for you.
20:27With the ownership
20:27structure of the slum?
20:29The family,
20:30which until only last year
20:31owned the land.
20:33Vivier,
20:34lions.
20:36It was theirs
20:37from their 17th century.
20:39The last descendants.
20:41The old man.
20:41Augustus.
20:42He was disabled,
20:43was he not?
20:43His bones grown large
20:44and deformed.
20:45It was indeed.
20:48I believe his one
20:49of the corpses.
20:51The others,
20:52therefore perhaps
20:52his wife and son.
20:54I believe them all murdered.
20:57And that in this documentation
20:58lie the trace marks
21:01of those who would gain
21:02from that act.
21:03The concern,
21:04who now takes ownership
21:06of the deceased family's
21:07holdings?
21:08Obsidian estates.
21:10Indeed, yes.
21:11Here, April 89.
21:16The lands at St. Paul's
21:18wharfside transferred
21:19to their holdings.
21:19And who is it hides
21:20behind their shield
21:21of bailiffs and lawyers?
21:22They hide themselves
21:23with some degree of skill,
21:25but...
21:26Here, Edmund.
21:29It is not solely
21:30the Limehouse dockside
21:32into which Obsidian develops.
21:35It owns much
21:36of Whitechapel as well.
21:37New streets,
21:38the preserve of opium dens
21:39and gaming houses
21:40and...
21:41and brothels.
21:47Brothels.
21:49Edmund, wait!
21:52You seem as if
21:53all else has forgot.
21:54Jane, this...
21:55length of twine
21:57that I follow,
21:59it pulls me towards
22:01evil men
22:01whose fell influence
22:02is spread wide
22:04and deep
22:04across the parishes
22:05of East London.
22:06and I feel there
22:08the opportunity
22:09not solely to correct
22:10the darkness of the world
22:11in which I serve,
22:12but also
22:12that which abides
22:14in my own heart.
22:16That baleful force
22:17then eradicated,
22:19I might also find
22:19the strength to
22:20leave my own life,
22:24but seek my own happiness.
22:26And that strength
22:27being found,
22:28I would seek it
22:29with you.
22:30God damn it, my resident.
22:41Cheers.
22:44Daniel, this isn't
22:45your own private residence.
22:46You can't be wandering
22:47about the place
22:47like you own it.
22:48My brother can be
22:49an old woman
22:50when he chooses.
22:52I told you,
22:53Reed has him
22:53awaiting retribution.
22:54He's not of any use to us.
22:56What is inside
22:58his evil shiny dome,
22:59however,
23:00that is of interest.
23:07Not here.
23:11Friend Verner
23:12tells of a man
23:13he knows,
23:14a man of both
23:15sufficient ready income
23:16and disregard
23:17for commercial authority
23:18that may be persuaded
23:19to buy such a rock.
23:21Oh.
23:22Captain,
23:22I believe I have
23:24these poor soul's stories
23:26and you,
23:27perhaps,
23:27able to provide
23:28their final chapter.
23:30These, I believe,
23:31are the last of the line.
23:32The mortal remains
23:33of one of this country's
23:34oldest landowning families.
23:35Their portfolio,
23:37vast estates
23:38in rural Gloucestershire,
23:39a Regency mansion
23:40on Portland Place
23:41and East London slumland
23:43from which rents
23:44are raised.
23:46Augustus
23:47and Clara
23:49via Lyon
23:50and their only son,
23:53Stefan.
23:54Stefan,
23:54who in March
23:55of last year
23:56reports that his parents,
23:57due to the sake
23:58of his father's health,
23:58are gone abroad.
24:00The old couple
24:00thus departed.
24:01One month later,
24:02Stefan transfers
24:03his family's entire
24:04holdings
24:05at St Paul's Wharfside
24:06into the ownership
24:07of one
24:08Obsidian Estates.
24:10Then Stefan himself,
24:12promptly disappearing
24:13from the face of the earth.
24:14And you think
24:14that this is all
24:15Cheyenne's doing?
24:16To begin with,
24:16perhaps,
24:17yes.
24:17I thought so,
24:18but, uh,
24:18he is a man
24:21far too happy
24:22inside his own
24:23evil skin
24:23to overreach himself,
24:24sir.
24:25However,
24:25he is a limehouse man.
24:27And this slum
24:28that Obsidian
24:29now owns,
24:30falling within
24:31his influence,
24:31he would make
24:32an exemplary associate
24:33for whichever
24:34vicious acts
24:36of disguise
24:36and persuasion
24:38and enforcement
24:39may be required.
24:40And who is it
24:41that makes him
24:41this associate?
24:42I had hoped
24:43you would provide
24:43that information
24:44for me,
24:45Captain.
24:45Obsidian
24:47owns Tenter Street.
24:49You want to know
24:50who it is
24:50leases this season?
24:53Yeah,
24:53it's a, uh,
24:54it's a man
24:55named Duggan.
24:56He has a
24:57barbershop
24:58over on Finch Street.
24:59He,
24:59he resides there.
25:04He does not,
25:07sir.
25:07Not any longer.
25:09Then when?
25:11I was gonna tell you,
25:12Twink.
25:12If only you realized
25:18the depth
25:18of our deception.
25:22Blimey.
25:32Mr. Duggan,
25:33does your new bitch
25:34not know to knock
25:35when gentlemen
25:36are at business?
25:37Everybody out.
25:43Now.
25:52All I have done
25:53for you
25:54and you would
25:54treat me
25:55with such little respect
25:56in front of my associates,
25:58do you know what I do
25:59to those that insult me?
25:59Then do it to me,
26:00Duggan,
26:00because I may live
26:01like this no longer.
26:02I have given
26:03to what you demanded
26:04and so am obligated
26:05to you no more.
26:09Yeah, I cannot.
26:11I know what covenant
26:12we had, madam.
26:14But I know
26:14what grows within me,
26:16within my heart.
26:17I cannot be without you,
26:18dear Susan.
26:21Do you say that what?
26:24That you love me, sir?
26:25I believe I do, madam.
26:30If you say
26:31that you are mine,
26:33you may have
26:33every freedom
26:34your heart desires.
26:36I swear.
26:40So he sleeps there.
26:42Plenty of men
26:43have laid their heads
26:43beneath that roof
26:44without doing so
26:45on your wife's bosom.
26:46Daniel,
26:47not once in your life
26:49have you cared
26:50for any soul
26:50other than your own,
26:51but try to understand
26:52I love her.
26:53I need to kill him.
26:56Those are the rules.
26:58You kill him.
26:58You remove from this earth
26:59the one person
27:00who has it in their power
27:01to make us rich.
27:03It's him.
27:05Duggan.
27:06The man Furner
27:07believes we might
27:08sell our stone to.
27:11Patterns, Twink.
27:12Can you not see
27:13how our stars align?
27:15The very man
27:16we must exploit
27:17is both the quarry
27:18of your inspector
27:18and the enemy
27:19of your wife.
27:20Your wife, brother,
27:21who, whilst her lodger
27:24suffers Reed's questions,
27:25can be visited
27:26and persuaded
27:26of an entirely
27:27delicate project
27:28that if Duggan
27:29can be made
27:30to acquire this diamond,
27:31you and she
27:32may then repay him
27:33with his own
27:34goddamn money.
27:41It is a fine story, Edmund,
27:43but your proof...
27:46Follow me, Fred.
27:48There is a bugbear
27:50of mine
27:51I would return
27:51you to.
27:55Your testimony
27:56as described to me
27:58by Edmund Reed,
27:59it is true.
28:01It is, sir.
28:03I brought you here.
28:05God damn you.
28:08You volunteered to me
28:10and I brought you here.
28:12And it is true
28:19who you were
28:21in fact serving
28:23at that time.
28:25Say it.
28:28I came to Lehman Street
28:29to spy for Jedediah Schein.
28:32I saw Jedediah Schein
28:34murder Nathaniel Hinchcliffe.
28:37I waited
28:37beyond Joseph Merrick's rooms.
28:39Enough!
28:39It is sufficient,
28:41is it not, Fred,
28:42to have Inspector Schein
28:43brought a book.
28:45Come tomorrow.
28:47You bring this man
28:48Duggan in
28:49and I shall fetch
28:53the other.
28:53Peter Drake,
29:04you let me in
29:05or I'll set a fire
29:05and smoke you out.
29:09Wayne Wright
29:10has promise.
29:12And when time
29:13correctly,
29:14his uppercut
29:14might punch holes
29:16in steel.
29:16But he is young
29:24and lacks
29:26in confidence.
29:29Would not hurt you
29:30to come
29:31to the semi-final.
29:34Puff him up a bit.
29:36You like this boy?
29:37I do.
29:39And why is it
29:40you wish him to win?
29:42You know,
29:42his Jedediah Schein
29:43awaits him.
29:44Should he do so?
29:45this life, Ben.
29:52All we may do
29:53is put one boot
29:54in front of the other.
29:56May we not.
30:09That's good, son.
30:11Again, again.
30:12Again.
30:12We'll be there.
30:35Good lad! Get down!
30:51Good boy! And again!
30:57Come on, refs, dark hand!
31:058th Division!
31:10Welcome, Constable!
31:14I'm a man of greedy anticipation.
31:17Agreed for you, son.
31:20Let us hope you make a better fist of it than the last finalist to arrive from the Lehman Street ranks.
31:26Chief Inspector, it's a while since you partook of such sport.
31:36They have changed the rule book, Jedediah.
31:40Mind I, anything went.
31:43Had I fought you, I would have carried a knife in my britches, and in my current mood, used it to cut your neck as all.
31:56After you, Chief Inspector.
32:09No, Mr. Reid. It is your shop.
32:19Sergeant Arlington.
32:21Have this man booked.
32:25Murder.
32:27Multiple counts.
32:29Mr. Duggan, we're very grateful to have you today.
32:32If you'll follow me, I'll get you some tea.
32:38Nine.
32:43Nine.
32:51There you are.
32:52Obsidian Estates.
32:57A concern of mine.
32:59It's a large concern for a barber.
33:03Some days, I'm a barber.
33:04Some days, I pursue other interests.
33:08Are you a policeman alone, Inspector?
33:13How is it Obsidian came by its holdings at St. Paul's Wharf site?
33:16The Basin Slot.
33:18It was yielded to me by a young man.
33:20Stephen Viet Lyon.
33:21A vast acreage of rented tenements yielded for a peppercorn.
33:25No, sir, no peppercorn.
33:26No, sir, no peppercorn.
33:27Repayment for a debt.
33:29Heavy debt.
33:30He was a misguent libertine, that young man.
33:33You were happy to fund his pursuits.
33:35I did beg your poll, Inspector.
33:37Is this a moral debate?
33:38You may say what you like about the ethics of my business practices.
33:43I've broke no law of yours.
33:44I should, in all conscience, congratulate you.
33:49No.
33:50You have concealed yourself with great skill from my view.
33:54But I see you now, sir.
34:00Your lands extending from Whitechapel to the Limehouse docks.
34:06Whatever you choose to buy there, to sell, to distribute.
34:09All and everything aided by your alliance with another man I currently hold in this station house.
34:15Inspector Schein.
34:17I believe he murders for you.
34:19A family whose estate he would absorb.
34:22A craftsman who tenaciously pursues a long-firm deception you sponsor.
34:27How do you expect to prove that, sir?
34:29I can incriminate Schein, and he, in turn, could do the same to you.
34:33You seem a fine fellow, Mr. Reid.
34:35But I feel for you.
34:36I do.
34:37This, um, force of yours is, what, a notch over 60 years of age?
34:44In this great city?
34:46Almost 2,000 years.
34:48So, there.
34:49Do you follow?
34:50Well, this here, between you and I, it's an uneven contest.
34:58Your roots are shallow, Reid.
35:00Your law has improvised a fit of modern world still in its birth pains.
35:04You say that I did fix for one man to cause another's death.
35:06Maybe I have.
35:11But you can't demonstrate that as a fact.
35:13All you can do is bring witness, one man's word against another, and words are unreliable signifiers of the truth.
35:22Your world will advance.
35:26I'm certain that men like yourself will make sure of it.
35:30I will have returned to London, Clay, before that day dawns.
35:36Till then, you are a child.
35:39And I, I am a man of old stuff.
35:50You will stay here, as you please.
35:52Do you know, you are to be released from your purgatory.
36:03Gentlemen, I've been kept waiting.
36:05Other cattle to herd, Inspector.
36:06And now, my time has come, so let us cut to it.
36:12I do not believe I need to go through performances of astonished outrage for you both.
36:16I am incarcerated here due to your suspecting failed deeds of me.
36:21So, you'll operate, inspectors.
36:25And I shall offer...
36:28rebuttal.
36:36This man, he is known to you.
36:40He is indeed familiar to me.
36:46Yes.
36:48I remember all.
36:51Albert Flynt.
36:53Irish.
36:56Soul Gin.
36:58Mixed with sulphur and turpentine.
37:02Did you not?
37:04Men and women went blind.
37:06Inspectors.
37:08And here he is now.
37:11Reinvented as...
37:13a C-I-D man.
37:21Can you imagine the scandal, sir?
37:24If you bring this case against me?
37:29All accusations based on the word of a poisoner
37:32who has successfully lied his way into the Whitechapel Police.
37:37What does this man say?
37:42There is truth to it.
37:44Please, Jesus, back down.
37:46It's no use to us, Dad.
37:47No use to you alive, neither.
37:49Never mind your inevitable failure,
37:52but the glaring light will throw on our work.
37:55Hmm?
37:56Our livelihood.
37:58Our uniform.
38:02Our fragile position.
38:04We hold in this city.
38:06We hold in this city.
38:06You were a Bloomsbury man.
38:17You had a record.
38:18Those records were true, sir.
38:20And before then, this...
38:21the man I was
38:22is...
38:24abhorrent to me, sir.
38:27Forgotten.
38:28By you, perhaps.
38:30But your past has guided your present.
38:32No, sir.
38:33The work I have done for you
38:34here,
38:37it was good work.
38:39And that work was meant
38:40mystery had felt in my heart
38:43as proper work.
38:44I thought to outrun my shame, sir.
38:48No man may do that, Flight.
38:55I might have been detained here any longer.
38:57There was a championship final
38:58for which I must train myself,
39:00and it is your man I face.
39:01Is it not his back to what's his name?
39:04We all right.
39:06I do hope he's resilient.
39:09Men have died in that right ring
39:12before now.
39:14Miss Dagen.
39:21Mr. Schilling.
39:31Susan, Susan, hear me out.
39:40I came because I still hope
39:42to save you from him.
39:44And so,
39:49tell.
39:50How am I to be rescued
39:52by you?
39:54The diamond.
39:55The diamond?
39:57The worthless rock
39:59you've shown to me already.
40:00You might call it worthless,
40:01but it's not.
40:03There are men that intend
40:04to kill for its recapture.
40:07Kill who?
40:07My brother.
40:10Myself.
40:11Perhaps I should lead them to you.
40:13No.
40:14No, no, God damn it.
40:15You love me still.
40:16I know it.
40:17I assure you I do not.
40:18This stone.
40:21It may be all and everything
40:22we need to get clear
40:23of that sack of shit.
40:24Please.
40:25I have it on authority
40:28that Duggan can be led
40:30to the purchase of this stone.
40:33Led by me, you imagine?
40:35The debt is then repaid
40:36with his own money.
40:37Must I draw you
40:41an anatomical sketch,
40:43husband?
40:45The debt
40:46is paid.
40:49Try it.
40:51I have no more pain
40:53to be felt.
40:59There may yet be joy,
41:01however,
41:04but whatever it takes,
41:06darling, to my blood be spilled.
41:08I will find what it takes
41:09to make you smile again.
41:10Only allow it.
41:11Allow me the opportunity.
41:13This opportunity.
41:16Joy is passing.
41:23Vengeance, however,
41:28that is a pursuit
41:29for which I would see blood spilled.
41:36You say there are men
41:37of vicious and murderous intent
41:38who wish to reclaim this gem.
41:42I do.
41:46Fly.
41:47He must feel the whip,
41:49Edmund.
41:50Why, Fred?
41:51To what end?
41:53We may not strike
41:54at Jedediah's shine
41:55or Silas Duggan through him.
41:57We may not strike
41:58at those men at all.
41:59What then?
42:02Say,
42:03imagine
42:03we might,
42:04you and I,
42:06walk into a chop house
42:06on a commercial road
42:07and in that chop house
42:08we lay our hands
42:10upon the shoulder
42:11of the man the world
42:12made the Ripper.
42:15Know him
42:15unequivocally
42:17for that killer.
42:18What would we do?
42:21There is what
42:22I would like to do.
42:23And there is
42:26what I am permitted
42:27to do.
42:29And so instead
42:30of pinioning his head
42:31to the wall
42:32through his eyeball,
42:33we,
42:34we would show him
42:36our eyes
42:36and begin the process
42:37of proof.
42:38We would.
42:41I would.
42:43Evil men do
42:44as they please.
42:46Men who would be good.
42:49They must do
42:49as they are allowed.
42:53I did not
43:00wish to speak
43:04of it.
43:07But you must know
43:09this matter
43:11with the councillor,
43:14there are ructions
