ASSAULT AND BATTERY, THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN INCIDENTS.

FRAUD AND FORGERY, SIX HUNDRED AND TWELVE.

STREET ROBBERY, NINE HUNDRED AND FIVE.

BURGLARY AND THEFT, FIVE HUNDRED AND SIX.

-CRIMINAL DAMAGE-- -GOOD GOD, MAN. IS THERE MUCH MORE OF THIS?

YOU ASKED FOR A DETAILED REPORT, SIR.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE EVERYTHING I SAY LITERALLY.

SHOW SOME INITIATIVE.

THIS MUST'VE TAKEN YOU HOURS.

DAYS, SIR.

JUST... SUMMARIZE.

RECORDED CRIME HAS INCREASED MARGINALLY OVER THE LAST YEAR

BUT OUR RATES OF DETECTION HAVE IMPROVED.

PARTICULARLY IN THE AREAS OF MURDER AND ORGANIZED CRIME.

YOU SEE... THAT'S ALL YOU HAD TO SAY.

DISMISSED...

[SIGHS]

OH, AND THERE'S DRINKS LATER AT THE BROWNLEE FOR DIVISION HEADS.

IT'D BE USEFUL TO HAVE THAT INFORMATION, SO YOU'LL COME ALONG?

I'M SURE, SIR, THAT A MAN OF YOUR CONSIDERABLE ABILITY DOESN'T NEED ME--

THAT'S AN ORDER... WELLINGTON.

I ASSUME YOU STILL WISH TO BE PROMOTED.

[CLEARS THROAT] YES, SIR.

THEN YOU'LL BE AT THE BROWNLEE WITH YOUR LITTLE FACTS AND FIGURES.

FORMAL DRESS, OBVIOUSLY.

NO KILTS!

[FRANK LAUGHING] GOING TO TRY IT ON FOR ME?

GET OUT, FRANK!

I DO SO LOVE A GENTLEMAN IN FORMAL WEAR.

I'M NOT IN THE MOOD. GET OUT!

-I COULD GIVE YOU SOME POINTERS. -ON HOW TO DRESS LIKE A VAGRANT?

NOW YOU'VE HURT MY FEELINGS. [LAUGHS]

-[DOOR CLOSES] -[EXHALES]

[WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]

-[FRANK] CALM YOURSELF, WOMAN. -[SIGHS] FOR GOD'S SAKE, ELIZA. NOT TODAY.

IT'S NOT HER, IT'S...

INSPECTOR WELLINGTON, I MUST SPEAK WITH YOU RIGHT AWAY.

I'M GOING OUT OF MY MIND WITH WORRY.

ABOUT WHAT?

IT'S MISS SCARLET...

SHE'S DISAPPEARED.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

I SPENT YESTERDAY AT MY MOTHER'S PLACE IN HACKNEY.

I STAY OVER THERE SOMETIMES TO HELP WITH HER LEG... GOUT.

TERRIBLE IT IS. THEY SAY IT'S ONLY THE RICH THAT GET IT

BUT SHE HASN'T GOT TWO PENNIES TO RUB TOGETHER.

YES, THAT'S ALL VERY SAD, BUT... WHAT'S HAPPENED TO ELIZA?

I GOT BACK TO THE HOUSE THIS MORNING,

JUST AFTER EIGHT.

I CALLED OUT FOR HER BUT THERE WAS NO REPLY.

SO I WENT INTO HER ROOM AND THE BED HADN'T BEEN SLEPT IN.

WELL, I'M SURE SHE'D RISEN EARLY AND MADE THE BED HERSELF.

I'VE KNOWN THAT GIRL SINCE SHE WAS FIVE YEARS OLD,

AND NOT ONCE HAS SHE EVER MADE HER BED.

OR TIDIED HER ROOM. SHE CAN BARELY EVEN COOK.

I FAIL TO SEE THE MYSTERY. SHE'LL BE AT WORK.

[IVY] I WENT TO HER OFFICE.

IT WAS LOCKED UP.

I ASKED AROUND AND NO ONE HAS SEEN HER.

SHE'S IN TROUBLE, INSPECTOR.

I'M CERTAIN OF IT.

I'M SURE THERE'S A PERFECTLY REASONABLE EXPLANATION.

SHE'S NEVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE.

SHE ALWAYS LETS ME KNOW WHERE SHE'S GOING OR WHEN SHE'LL BE BACK.

I'M TELLING YOU. SHE'S IN TROUBLE, INSPECTOR.

[CRIES] IF ANYTHING HAPPENED TO THAT GIRL...

-OH, GOD. -[IVY SOBS]

[CRYING]

WHEN DID YOU LAST SEE HER?

[SNIFFLES]

YESTERDAY MORNING.

SHE WAS LEAVING THE HOUSE FOR A MEETING.

A MEETING WITH WHO?

NOW, I MUST SAY, INSPECTOR,

I HAVE NEVER SEEN YOU LOOK SO SMART.

HE LOOKS... WHAT IS THE WORD?

-STATTLICH. -STATTLICH.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

DASHING... HANDSOME.

-STATTLICH. -ONCE AGAIN, FORGIVE THE INTRUSION BUT I WISH TO--

SORRY, WHERE ARE MY MANNERS? I DON'T BELIEVE YOU HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED TO

MISS HILDEGARD, WHO ISHERRHILDEGARD'S RADIANT NIECE.

PLEASED TO MEET YOU, MADAM.

-NOW, GENTLEMEN, I WONDER IF I-- -INSPECTOR WELLINGTON IS A...

WHAT IS THE GERMAN WORD FOR "DETECTIVE"?

-IT IS THE SAME... "DETEKTIV." -REALLY?

[CHUCKLES] ISN'T THAT FUNNY?

-[DUKE CHUCKLES] -YOU'LL TAKE A DRINK, INSPECTOR?

NO, I CAN'T STAY LONG. I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF MISS SCARLET... OR RATHER HER MAID.

MISS SCARLET AND I...

HOW DO I SAY THAT I AM THE SOLE INVESTOR IN MISS SCARLET'S DETECTIVE AGENCY,

PROVIDING BOTH FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND, ON OCCASION, ADVICE ON THE MORE COMPLEX CASES.

-[DUKE] I... -[HERR HILDEGARD GROANS]

I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAD A MEETING WITH MISS SCARLET YESTERDAY MORNING.

YEAH... YES AND NO, WE...

WE WERE SUPPOSED TO MEET BUT WHEN I ARRIVED SHE WAS IN A MOST... AGITATED STATE.

AGITATED?

SHE HAD MADE SOME KIND OF DISCOVERY AND DID NOT ELABORATE.

AND WHATEVER IT WAS,

IT WAS CLEARLY PRESSING AS SHE REQUESTED

TO POSTPONE OUR MEETING UNTIL LATER IN THE WEEK.

I SAW HER AS SHE WAS LEAVING.

SHE SEEMED IN A TREMENDOUS HURRY.

AND WAS INDEED MOST AGITATED. I HELPED HER TO FIND A CAB.

[IMPATIENT] A CAB TO WHERE?

DO NOT TALK TO ME ABOUT THAT WOMAN. SHE HAS GIVEN ME NOTHING BUT TROUBLE.

WHAT TIME DID SHE COME HERE?

I'VE TOLD HER TILL I'M BLUE IN THE FACE THAT SHE'S NOT WELCOME.

BUT STILL SHE PERSISTS.

DO YOU KNOW WHO WAS HERE WHEN SHE TURNED UP? THE CITY CORONER.

HOW DO YOU THINK THAT MAKES ME LOOK?

MR. POTTS, TIME IS AGAINST ME AND I'M STRUGGLING

TO CONTROL MY TEMPER. SO BEFORE I DO SOMETHING WE BOTH REGRET,

JUST TELL ME WHEN YOU LAST SAW MISS SCARLET.

YESTERDAY MORNING. QUARTER PAST ELEVEN, GIVE OR TAKE.

SHE CAME WALTZING IN HERE AT A HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR, FIRING OUT QUESTIONS.

I HAD TO INSIST SHE LEAVE, SINCE, AS I SAY, THE CITY CORONER WAS HERE.

WHAT QUESTIONS WAS SHE ASKING?

-YOU DO REALIZE SHE THREATENED ME INSPECTOR?

- SCOFFS - I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU WHAT SHE SAID.

BUT IT'S NOT SOMETHING A CHRISTIAN SHOULD SAY LET ALONE A WOMAN

WHAT QUESTIONS?

[SIGHS] SHE WANTED TO KNOW ALL ABOUT SMALLPOX.

HOW LONG THE VIRUS LINGERS OUTSIDE THE BODY.

WHAT PRECAUTIONS CAN BE TAKEN TO AVOID TRANSMISSION.

I SAID, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE ENTIRE ESSAYS WRITTEN ON THE SUBJECT,

IT WASN'T A CONVERSATION TO BE HAD ON A STREET CORNER.

-BUT SHE INSISTED SHE HAD TO KNOW RIGHT AWAY. -[SIGHS] WHY?

SHE SAID IT WAS A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH, ALTHOUGH WHO KNOWS WITH THAT WOMAN?

I WOULDN'T TRUST A SINGLE WORD THAT CAME OUT OF HER MOUTH.

[CLINK]

[SIGHS]

YOU ARE CONFLICTED AS TO WHAT TO DO?

[LAUGHS]

WHY DID YOU ALWAYS DO THAT?

-DO WHAT? -GIVE ME ORDERS

BUT POSE THEM LIKE A QUESTION.

BECAUSE I LEARNED VERY QUICKLY THAT YOU NEEDED TO COME TO YOUR OWN CONCLUSION.

THE CONCLUSION THAT YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO HEAR.

GREAT MINDS AND ALL THAT.

YOUR DAUGHTER IS CAUSING ME A HEADACHE.

YOU HAVE MY SYMPATHY, WILLIAM. SHE CAUSED ME MANY HEADACHES.

YOU BOTH DID.

GOD, I MISS YOU, HENRY.

NOT AS MUCH AS I MISS YOU, MY DEAREST BOY.

[SIGHS]

SO... YOU WILL DO YOUR DUTY TO ME.

AND YOU WILL FIND HER.

YES, SIR.

[GROANS]

[SIGHS]

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

"WOOLWICH PRISON."

[ELIZA SCREAMS]HELP!

HELP ME!

-[BANGING] -SOMEBODY!

-[BANGING] -[DESPERATELY]HELP!

[BIRDS SQUAWKING]

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

[SIGHS] FOR GOD'S SAKE, ELIZA.

[SHOUTS] ELIZA!

[SINISTER MUSIC PLAYING]

ELIZA!

-ELIZA! -[ECHO]

[ELIZA]HELP!

-HELP! -WHERE ARE YOU?

[METAL CREAKS]

[ELIZA]WILLIAM!

-ELIZA? -I'M IN CELL 98!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THERE?

-[ELIZA] I'M LOCKED IN. -[DUKE LAUGHS]

-WHAT? -[IMPATIENTLY] JUST... GET ME OUT!

WILLIAM?

-[FRANTIC] WILLIAM! -YES, I'M COMING.

[METAL CLANGS]

OH, THANK GOD.

I'VE BEEN STUCK HERE FOR HOURS. THE DOOR SLAMMED SHUT BEHIND ME.

-WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THERE? -I'LL TELL YOU IN A MOMENT.

JUST LOOK FOR MY BAG. THERE ARE TOOLS INSIDE YOU CAN USE TO PICK THE LOCK.

-WHY ARE YOU DRESSED LIKE THAT? -WOULD YOU LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THAT NOW

OR WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO GET YOU OUT OF THERE?

LOOK FOR THE TENSION WRENCH--

YES, I KNOW HOW TO PICK A LOCK.

[TOOLS CLANG]

[CLINKING]

HOW DID YOU FIND ME?

YOU LEAVE A TRAIL OF CHAOS WHEREVER YOU GO. IT WASN'T HARD.

-WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? -I FOUND MY FATHER'S OLD CASE BOOK.

THIS PLACE IS MENTIONED SEVERAL TIMES, INCLUDING IN HIS LAST ENTRY.

YOU REMEMBER HE WAS MISSING FOR TWO DAYS BEFORE HE DIED? WELL...

I ASSUMED HE WAS DRINKING OR GAMBLING BUT NOW I BELIEVE HE CAME HERE.

I READ SOME OF HIS CASE BOOK IN YOUR OFFICE.

A LONG LIST OF GAMBLING DEBTS AND TAVERNS THAT PROVIDE CREDIT.

"WOOLWICH PRISON." THE WORDS "CELL 99" UNDERLINED TWICE.

[GROANS] "CELL 99."

I LOOKED AROUND AND THE CELL NUMBERS ONLY GO UP TO 98.

THERE MUST BE ANOTHER WING.

WHEN YOU'VE FREED ME, WE MUST GO AND LOOK.

ELIZA...

I CARED FOR HENRY, TOO, AND I MOURN HIM EVERY DAY.

BUT HE WAS ERRATIC TOWARDS THE END.

I HADN'T SEEN HIM SOBER FOR MONTHS, AND NEITHER HAD YOU.

I CAME IN HERE TO LOOK AROUND TO SEE IF THERE

ARE ANY CLUES TO CELL 99 THAT I WAS MISSING.

ONE MINUTE THE DOOR WAS OPEN, THE NEXT IT SLAMMED SHUT.

THE PLACE IS DESERTED. THERE'S NOTHING HERE.

[GROANS]

OH! I THOUGHT YOU KNEW HOW TO PICK A LOCK.

WOULD IT SURPRISE YOU THAT PRISON DOORS ARE DESIGNED NOT TO BE PICKED?

HERE, GIVE IT TO ME.

GIVE IT!

[EXHALES]

WHY ARE YOU DRESSED LIKE THAT ANYWAY?

I'M DUE AT THE BROWNLEE CLUB IN THREE MINUTES.

THANKS TO YOU I'LL BE LATE AND STIRLING WILL HAVE EVEN LESS RESPECT FOR ME

THAN HE DOES ALREADY.

[GROANS] I'M SORRY.

LORD KNOWS WHAT HE'D MAKE OF YOU.

SUPERINTENDENT FREDERICK ALOYSIUS STIRLING.

WELL, I'M SURE I'LL MEET HIM SOON ENOUGH.

WON'T I?

YEAH.

I MEAN...

YOU HAVE TOLD HIM WE'VE WORKED TOGETHER?

IT'S ONE THING HIM READING ABOUT YOU IN THE PAPER,

-IT'S QUITE ANOTHER... -YOU STILL HAVEN'T TOLD HIM!

LOOK, I HAVE A CAREER TO PROTECT.

AS DO I.

YES, FOR NOW. BUT IT'S LIKELY THAT BEFORE LONG YOU'LL FIND SOMEONE SUITABLE

AND NATURE WILL TAKE ITS COURSE.

NATURE WILL TAKE ITSCOURSE?

YES.

HOW DARE YOU, WILLIAM?

HOW DARE I PUT MY PLANS ON HOLD TO FOLLOW YOU ON A WILD GOOSE CHASE?

HOW DARE I RESCUE YOU?

I'D HARDLY CALL THIS A RESCUE.

GO ON! GO TO YOUR STUPID CLUB. I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP ANYWAY.

[TOOLS CLANG]

[FRUSTRATED SCREAM]

[FRUSTRATED SCREAM]

[LOCK RATTLES]

WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS?

[CONTINUES MUMBLING]

[FRUSTRATED MUMBLING TO SELF]

[GROANS IN FRUSTRATION]

-[SLAP] -[AGITATED CHUCKLE]

[PANTS] COME ON!

[BANGS DOOR]

DAMN IT.

WILLIAM?

-[KEYS JANGLE] -[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]

WHO ARE YOU?

I SAID... WHO ARE YOU?

I'M THE MAN WITH THE KNIFE.

-GOOD TO MEET YOU. -[CLICK]

I'M THE MAN WITH THE GUN.

PUT IT DOWN AND GET ON THE FLOOR.

[ELIZA]WILLIAM!

-[GROANS] -[THUD]

[ELIZA]WILLIAM!

I KNOW YOU'RE STILL HERE.

-[GROANS] -[GRUNTS]

DON'T EXPECT ME TO APOLOGIZE. YOU'D TRY THE PATIENCE OF A SAINT.

WILLIAM!

[ELIZA SCREAMS FRANTICALLY] WILLIAM!

[DUKE] DOES SHE EVER SHUT UP?

-[CRACK] -[SCREAM]

[GROANING]

[CLANK]

[EXHALES LOUDLY] FINALLY.

[BANGING]

WILLIAM?

WILLIAM?

WILLIAM?

[RELIEVED SIGH]

YOU WERE RIGHT. THERE IS SOMEONE ELSE HERE. WE HAVE TO GO.

-YOUR ARM. LET ME SEE. -WE DON'T HAVE TIME.

IF YOU BLEED TO DEATH I'LL BE HERE ON MY OWN. COME ON.

THERE'S A LOT OF BLOOD.

YOUR HAND, IT'S VERY SWOLLEN.

-[GROANS] -CAN YOU MOVE YOUR FINGERS?

I THINK THERE'S A BONE BROKEN.

-HOW DID YOU OPEN THE DOOR? -PERSISTENCE. YOU SHOULD TRY IT SOME TIME.

WE NEED TO STEM THE BLEEDING.

TAKE OFF YOUR JACKET.

NO.

THIS COST ME A WEEK'S WAGES.

FINE... I WILL CUT IT OFF. -ELIZA... ELIZA!

-[TEARS FABRIC] -[GROANS]

WHERE IS HE? THE MAN WHO ATTACKED YOU.

HE'S HURT TOO. I DON'T KNOW HOW BADLY.

HE RAN OFF BUT I DIDN'T SEE WHERE.

DAMN IT.

WHAT'S THAT?

MY WATCH. IT BROKE IN THE FIGHT.

WAS IT EXPENSIVE?

I DON'T KNOW. IT WAS A GIFT.

HURRY UP!

WHO'S IT FROM?

A RICH WIDOW, A YOUNG HEIRESS? NO, NO, I'VE GOT IT...

AN ACTRESS?

IT WAS YOUR FATHER, ACTUALLY.

REALLY? WHAT WAS THE OCCASION?

IT WAS THE DAY I WAS MADE DETECTIVE.

HENRY HAD BEEN PUSHING ME FOR YEARS.

ENCOURAGING ME TO APPLY, QUASHING EVERY OBJECTION I RAISED.

REMEMBER HOW HE WOULD WAIT FOR YOU TO FINISH A LONG LIST OF REASONS

BEFORE DESTROYING THEM WITH A SINGLE SENTENCE?

IT WAS MOST INFURIATING.

WASN'T IT JUST?

THE DAY I RECEIVED THE NEWS, I RETURNED HOME

AND HE WAS ON THE DOORSTEP... WITH THIS.

ON THE BACK, HE'D ENGRAVED "TEMPUS FUGIT."

"TIME FLIES."

YEAH. HE KNEW I HAD A TENDENCY FOR PROCRASTINATION.

WELL, NOT TODAY, I HOPE.

COME ON.

YOU OWE ME A DRESS JACKET... AND A WATCH.

-I DIDN'T BREAK THE WATCH. -NO, BUT I'M ONLY

HERE BECAUSE OF YOU, SO IT'S YOUR FAULT.

-[GROANS] -[GUNSHOT]

ARE YOU HURT?

NO... YOU?

-THAT WAS UNFORGIVABLE. I APOLOGIZE. -I'M ALL RIGHT.

DID YOU SEE WHERE IT FELL?

NO.

-I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU HAVE ANOTHER GUN, DO YOU? -NO. DO YOU?

I'M NOT GOING OUT THERE UNARMED.

-WILLIAM... BE CAREFUL! -I AM BEING CAREFUL.

I WOULD DISPUTE THAT.

MUST YOU DISAGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT I SAY?

I'M SURE THAT GATE WAS OPEN. WHEN WE CAME UP HERE.

YOU DIDN'T CLOSE IT, DID YOU?

[GUNSHOT]

[GUNSHOT]

GO, GO! IN HERE!

[GUNSHOT]

-[ELIZA] I'VE AN IDEA. -SO HAVE I.

I'LL LISTEN TO YOURS IF YOU LISTEN TO MINE.

VERY WELL. GO AHEAD.

WE EMPLOY A PINCER MOVE. EACH APPROACHING FROM OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS.

IF HE WAKES AND SEES ONE OF US, THE OTHER CAUSES A DISTRACTION.

WHEN HE TURNS TO TAKE AIM, THE PERSON NOT IN THE FIRING LINE

RUSHES FROM BEHIND. NOW YOUR IDEA.

YOU STAY HERE. I GO PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE.

WITH RESPECT, WILLIAM THAT'S A--

[DARK MUSIC PLAYING]

[CLINK]

[GUNSHOT]

[GRUNTS]

SEE? MY PLAN WORKED.

I THINK YOU'LL FIND THAT WAS A COMBINATION OF BOTH PLANS.

[DR. EDWARDS]HE'S NOT DRUNK.

HE'S HAD A CARDIAC ARREST.

I'M SORRY TO SAY HE HAS PASSED.

I'VE SEEN HIM BEFORE.

HE WAS THE DOCTOR WHO BROUGHT MY FATHER HOME.

SURE IT WAS HIM?

I'M CERTAIN.

"CELL 99."

[KEYS JANGLE]

THE DOOR ON THE UPPER LANDING'S LOCKED TOO.

WHEN I GET THIS OPEN, I'M GOING TO FIND THAT CELL.

NO, YOU'RE COMING WITH ME, GET REINFORCEMENTS AND COME BACK.

THEN I'LL BE PUT BACK IN MY BOX AND MIGHT NEVER FIND OUT WHAT MY FATHER WAS DOING HERE.

YOU'RE COMING WITH ME EVEN IF I HAVE TO CARRY YOU KICKING AND SCREAMING.

YOU CAN TRY.

WE DON'T EVEN KNOW IF ANY OF THESE ARE THE RIGHT ONE. THERE MIGHT BE ANOTHER WAY OUT.

IT'S A PRISON. THEY'RE NOT DESIGNED WITH MULTIPLE EXITS. THESE ARE COMING LOOSE...

WILLIAM...

LET ME.

[SIGHS]

AT LEAST, I HOPE YOU NOW BELIEVE THAT FATHER WAS INVESTIGATING SOMETHING OF SUBSTANCE.

I ADMIT IT'S A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY.

MORE THAN LIKELY...

HE WAS MURDERED.

I PROMISE YOU ONE THING...

WHOEVER DID THIS TO HENRY, THEY WILL PAY.

[MAN COUGHING]

SOMEONE'S AWAKE.

WHO ARE YOU?

UNTIE ME AND I'LL TELL YOU.

YOU LOCKED THAT GATE.

WHERE'S THE KEY?

UNTIE ME AND I'LL TELL YOU.

YOU'RE BLEEDING BADLY.

YOU'LL BE DEAD WITHIN THE HOUR IF WE DON'T GET HELP.

HELP'S COMING, ALL RIGHT.

BUT NOT FOR YOU.

RIGHT AFTER I SHUT YOU IN, I SENT WORD.

WON'T BE LONG NOW.

THAT'S WHY YOU SHOULD LET ME GO BEFORE THINGS GET NASTY.

HE'S BLUFFING.

TRY THE KEYS AGAIN. THERE MIGHT BE A SPARE COPY.

[MAN] IF THEY SEND WHO I THINK THEY'LL SEND,

THE THINGS HE'LL DO TO HER...

DOESN'T BEAR THINKING ABOUT.

SHUT YOUR MOUTH OR I'LL SHUT IT FOR YOU!

THIS KEY FITS!

BUT IT'S NOT MOVING!

[LOUD BANG]

WHAT WAS THAT?

HE'S HERE.

YOU WERE RIGHT, BY THE WAY, MISS.

THERE IS ANOTHER WAY OUT OF HERE.

AND ANOTHER WAY IN.

[BANG]

GARM! THERE'S TWO OF THEM NOW!

HE'S GOT A FILTHY TEMPER.

VERY VIOLENT.

IT'S NOT HIS FAULT, MIND.

HE HAD A HORRIBLE CHILDHOOD.

[HEAVY FOOTSTEPS]

BY THE TIME HE WAS SIX HE WAS THE SIZE OF A MAN.

HIS MOTHER SOLD HIM TO A TRAVELING FREAK SHOW.

[KEYS CLATTERING]

HE CRIED OUT FOR HER MORNING AND NIGHT.

GOT SO BAD HE WAS PUTTING OFF THE PUNTERS.

SO THE OWNER, TERRIBLE DRUNKARD...

CUT THE POOR BOY'S TONGUE OUT.

CALL HIM OFF OR I'LL PUT A BULLET IN HIM.

YOU'LL HAVE TO FIND ONE FIRST.

I SHOT THE REST OF THEM.

[CLICK]

YOU'RE A BIG BLOKE, HANDY WITH YOUR FISTS.

WELL, THE ONE THAT ISN'T BROKEN.

I'D SAY YOU'LL LAST A GOOD TEN SECONDS BEFORE HE SNAPS YOUR SPINE.

-[KEYS CLINKING] -[GROANS]

KILL THEM BOTH!

START WITH THE TART.

-WILLIAM!... NOW! -[GROANS]

I'VE NEVER RUN FROM A FIGHT BEFORE.

THIS IS NO TIME FOR BRAVADO. WILLIAM!

[FURIOUS GROANING]

HAD YOU NOT BEEN THERE I'D HAVE STOOD MY GROUND AND FOUGHT THAT CREATURE.

-I DON'T THINK THIS IS THE RIGHT WAY. -I THINK MY RIGHT HAND'S BROKEN.

I DON'T THINK ANY LESS OF YOU. YOU'RE ONE OF THE BRAVEST MEN I KNOW.

ONE OF?

-DOES THIS LOOK FAMILIAR TO YOU? -IT ALL LOOKS FAMILIAR. THE PLACE IS A MAZE.

YOU NEVER CAME HERE WHEN IT WAS OPEN?

DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PRISONS THERE ARE IN LONDON?

ACTUALLY, YES. I'VE BEEN READING RATHER VIGOROUSLY ON THE SUBJECT.

THIS PLACE WAS CLOSED TWO YEARS AGO.

BECAUSE OF A SMALLPOX OUTBREAK. YES, I KNOW.

DON'T WORRY. WE'RE PRETTY SAFE.

-SMALLPOX-- -...CAN'T LIVE THAT LONG OUTSIDE THE BODY. I KNOW.

-BUT DID YOU ALSO KNOW? -YES, I KNOW. CAN WE JUST CONCENTRATE

-ON FINDING A WAY OUT OF HERE? -OF COURSE.

SMALLPOX CAN BE REACTIVATED ON A HOT DAY IF THE TEMPERATURE REACHES 78 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT.

-BUT, I'M SURE YOU ALREADY KNEW THAT. -YES, OBVIOUSLY.

IT'S RATHER WARM IN HERE, ISN'T IT?

[ELIZA] ANYTHING?

JUST ANOTHER DEAD END. I TOLD YOU WE SHOULD'VE TAKEN THAT STAIRCASE.

-WHAT ARE THEY FOR? -FUMIGATION.

WHEN THEY CLEARED THE PRISON THEY PUT DOWN POISON TO STOP THE RATS FROM SPREADING.

I'M BEGINNING TO SEE THE LOGIC.

AN ABANDONED BUILDING MAKES A PERFECT HIDEOUT. BUT WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?

WHEN YOU COME BACK WITH REINFORCEMENTS, I'M COMING WITH YOU.

-NO, YOU'RE NOT. -I'M COMING WITH YOU!

I'M GOING TO FIND CELL 99 AND DISCOVER WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

YOU SURE IT'S SAFE TO BE HERE?

-YOU WANT TO KNOW OR ARE YOU JUST CHANGING THE SUBJECT? -BOTH.

IT'S SAFE. UNLESS YOU'RE A RAT.

POOR THINGS. I CAN'T ABIDE CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

[CHUCKLES] YOUR FATHER WAS THE SAME.

DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN HE SHOT THAT DOG?

HE WAS IN PIECES FOR DAYS. HATED HIMSELF HAVING TO DO IT.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

LET'S TRY THAT STAIRCASE. I'M CERTAIN THAT'S THE WAY OUT.

[CLEARS THROAT]

SEE? HERE WE ARE.

YOU SEEM FAIRLY CERTAIN IT WAS FATHER WHO SHOT THAT DOG.

THE MEMORY CAN PLAY TRICKS.

AM I RIGHT IN THINKING YOU PLAY CARDS FOR MONEY?

YOU SHOULD KNOW YOU HAVE THE MOST GLARINGLY OBVIOUS TELL.

YOU SNIFF WHEN YOU'RE ABOUT TO LIE.

YOU FAMILY DOG, THE ONE THAT GOT RUN OVER BY THE CARRIAGE, DIDN'T DIE INSTANTLY.

-HENRY HAD TO PUT IT OUT OF ITS MISERY. -WHAT?

I'M SORRY. I KNOW HOW FOND YOU WERE OF IT. I REMEMBER COMFORTING YOU AT THE TIME.

-COMFORTING? -FOR THE HUNDREDTH TIME, IT WAS JUST A KISS.

ONE THAT I SEEM TO REMEMBER YOU ENJOYED.

I CANNOT HAVE THIS CONVERSATION AGAIN.

-FINALLY. WE AGREE ON SOMETHING. -AND IAMCOMING BACK.

[SCREAM]HELP!

[MAN 1]HELP ME, PLEASE!

OVER HERE, SIR.

[MAN 1]HURRY!

HERE!

I'M IN HERE!

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

[MAN 1]HURRY!

HE'S IN HERE.

WILLIAM...

[MUSICAL STAB]

GIVE ME THE KEY.

[MAN 1 PANTING]

PLEASE, DON'T HURT ME.

I'M ELIZA SCARLET, THIS IS

DETECTIVE INSPECTOR WELLINGTON.

THANK GOD... THANK GOD.

I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU WERE WITH THEM. I HEARD YOU COME IN.

THEN I HEARD THE LADY'S VOICE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

THEY MADE ME. I DIDN'T WANT TO BUT THEY MADE ME.

-THESE ARE BILLS OF EXCHANGE. -THEY FORCED ME TO MAKE THEM.

THEY SAID THAT IF I TRIED TO ESCAPE

THAT THING, GARB, WOULD RIP ME LIMB FROM LIMB.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN HERE?

I DON'T KNOW...

THREE MONTHS I THINK.

I CAN'T SAY FOR SURE.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

IF YOU WANT OUR HELP WE NEED TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

NATHANIEL CAINE.

THESE ARE AS PERFECT FORGERIES AS I'VE EVER SEEN.

I TAKE IT THAT'S YOUR PROFESSION.

RETIRED.

I'VE DONE MY TIME.

I TOLD THEM THAT.

I SAID I WASN'T INTERESTED. I WASN'T GOING BACK INSIDE FOR NO ONE.

I'D NO CHOICE.

WHO ARE THEY?

YOU HAVE TO PROMISE ME.

THAT I WON'T GO BACK INSIDE.

YOU HAVE MY WORD.

[GUNSHOT]

WE'VE GOT TO GO. THEY'LL KILL US ALL.

THE WOOLWICH FORCE ARE ON GREENHILL PLACE. IF WE GET TO THE MAIN ROAD,

THERE MIGHT BE SOMEONE ON PATROL.

I'M NOT GOING BACK TO PRISON.

THE GUN'S EMPTY, NATHANIEL.

NATHANIEL!

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

NATHANIEL, STOP!

[GUNSHOT]

I'M A POLICE DETECTIVE.

SHOOT ME AND YOU'LL HAVE SCOTLAND YARD HUNTING YOU DAY AND NIGHT.

YOU'LL ALSO HAVE A BULLET IN YOUR CHEST!

I MAY NOT SHOOT YOU WITH THE FIRST SHOT BUT I'LL KEEP PULLING THE TRIGGER

UNTIL ONE OF US IS DEAD.

[NATHANIEL COUGHS]

THANK YOU.

-[COUGHING] -GO GET HELP!

-I'M NOT LEAVING YOU. -HE MAY NOT HAVE LONG!

KEEP APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE WOUND.

I'LL BE BACK SOON.

I CAN SEE HIM IN YOU.

HE HAD A KIND FACE.

JUST LIKE YOURS. [COUGHS]

-WHO? -[COUGHING]

YOUR FATHER.

-[COUGHS] -YOU KNEW HIM?

NATHANIEL?

NO...

[WHEEZING]

NO SIGN OF THE GUNMAN. OR THOSE THUGS WHO ATTACKED US.

MY MEN ARE SEARCHING THE OTHER WINGS BUT IT'S MORE THAN LIKELY THEY'VE MADE THEIR ESCAPE.

AND... NATHANIEL?

-HOW IS HE? -ON HIS WAY TO HOSPITAL.

THE BULLET MISSED ANY MAJOR ARTERIES SO THERE'S EVERY CHANCE HE'LL LIVE.

GOOD. I MUST SPEAK TO HIM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

-ELIZA... -HE KNEW MY FATHER.

I HAVE TO FIND OUT WHY.

HOW MUCH IS HERE, DO YOU THINK?

TENS OF THOUSANDS OF POUNDS.

I HAVEN'T SEEN FORGERY ON A SCALE LIKE THIS BEFORE.

AND TO KEEP THE MAN HOSTAGE FOR THAT LENGTH OF TIME,

THESE ARE SERIOUS PEOPLE, ELIZA.

WHICH IS WHY WE SHOULD WASTE NO TIME IN TRACKING THEM DOWN.

IT'S VERY POSSIBLE THESE MEN WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR FATHER'S MURDER.

THEY TOOK THE TROUBLE TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A NATURAL DEATH.

AND TO BRING HIS BODY BACK HOME. THE HOME WHERE HE USED TO LIVE.

-I'M NOT AFRAID. -I KNOW.

I'LL KEEP YOU INFORMED OF EVERY ASPECT OF THE INVESTIGATION.

I'LL EVEN SEEK YOUR COUNSEL BUT YOU NEED TO LEAVE THIS TO ME NOW.

HENRY WOULD NEVER FORGIVE ME IF ANYTHING HAPPENED TO YOU.

THIS IS NOT A MATTER FOR DISCUSSION.

YOU WILL HAVE POLICE PROTECTION UNTIL THE THREAT IS OVER.

[FRANK] DUKE...

WE FOUND SOMETHING.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING A LADY SHOULD SEE.

SHE CAN COPE.

ONE BULLET APIECE.

THAT MUST'VE BEEN THE SHOTS WE HEARD.

WAS HE THE ONE THAT SHOT THE FORGER?

NO THAT WAS SOMEONE ELSE. I'M SURE OF IT.

SO WHO WERE THEY THEN?

WHY KILL THEM?

PUNISHMENT?

FOR WHAT?

FOR NOT KILLING US.

I MUST APOLOGIZE FOR MY APPEARANCE, SIR. AND FOR MISSING THE DRINKS.

I SPENT LAST NIGHT AT A CRIME SCENE.

SO I HEAR.

-QUITE THE HAUL, SO I BELIEVE. -YES, SIR.

WE ESTIMATE THE FORGERIES TO BE IN THE REGION OF SIXTY-EIGHT THOUSAND POUNDS.

GOOD GOD.

AND THERE'S MOST LIKELY FAR MORE.

THE MAN WE FOUND AT THE SCENE, NATHANIEL CAINE, HAD BEEN THERE FOR MONTHS.

A CRIMINAL GANG SUCH AS THIS WILL ACT QUICKLY ONCE THEY KNOW WE'RE ON TO THEM.

-SO WE'LL NEED TO WORK AROUND THE CLOCK. -VERY GOOD.

[CLEARS THROAT] YOU REMEMBER HENRY SCARLET, SIR?

THE DRUNK?

THE FORMER DETECTIVE INSPECTOR, SIR.

I BELIEVE HIS DEATH MAY BE LINKED TO THE SAME CRIMINAL GANG.

AS SUCH, I'VE ORDERED PROTECTION FOR HIS DAUGHTER, ELIZA.

THAT DAMN WOMAN.

RUNNING AROUND LONDON MAKING A FOOL OF HERSELF.

DOES SHE REALLY NEED OUR PROTECTION?

SHE DOES.

VERY WELL. THAT'LL BE ALL.

THERE IS ONE MORE THING, SIR.

ELIZA SCARLET WAS THE REASON WE MADE THIS DISCOVERY IN THE FIRST PLACE.

SHE HAS, IN FACT, HELPED ME ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.

IN THE SOLVING OF OTHER CRIMES.

I'LL FIND THEM.

I'LL FIND THEM AND THEY WILL HANG.

[HENRY]I HID THAT CASE BOOK FOR A REASON.

I KNEW IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO ME YOU'D COME LOOKING FOR ANSWERS.

WHAT SHOULD I DO? LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT?

LET WILLIAM AND HIS MEN DO THEIR JOBS, LIZZIE.

WHAT IF THEY MISS SOMETHING... SOME VITAL CLUE... HOWEVER SMALL?

YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH.

BUT NOW YOU'RE BEING RECKLESS. YOU'RE RISKING YOUR LIFE.

YOU'VE SHOWN YOU'RE CAPABLE. YOU DON'T NEED TO DIE TO PROVE THE POINT.

I'M NOT PROVING ANYTHING TO ANYONE.

-LIZZIE... -STOP CALLING ME THAT! I'M A GROWN WOMAN!

[KNOCKS]

HOW WAS STIRLING?

[MOANS] YOU KNOW.

THE USUAL. I DON'T THINK I'LL BE GETTING PROMOTED ANY TIME SOON.

-ANY NEWS ON CAINE? -HE'LL LIVE.

THE SURGEON REMOVED THE BULLET AND SOME THREADS OF CLOTHING.

NO SIGN OF INFECTION SO FAR.

WE'LL GO TO THE HOSPITAL IN THE MORNING.

IN THE MEANTIME, WE NEED TO FIND HIS PRISON RECORDS.

ANYTHING ELSE?

THE DOCTORS TOLD ME THAT NATHANIEL WAS TALKING

HIS NAME'S NATHANIEL CAINE.
