"For all our days are
passed away in thy wrath,

and we spend our years

as a tale that is told."

Follow the bones.

Forgive me.

The chances of any two prints
being alike are 1 in 64 billion.

I am pregnant and unmarried.

What is this?

Theodore Swift is my business.

Where, where might
he find safe haven?

But of course,

Father.

I stay to bring all
to its conclusion.

Inspector Reid,

explain to me once again how
it is you consider yourself

fit for purpose.

I have headaches, Mr. Abberline.

What else do you
wish me to say to you?

Perhaps that you
understand for why

you suffer such affliction.

No?

You offer no explanation
as how it is that

part of your anatomy

ails you so,

allow me, therefore.

A man shot you in it.

Warrant card... now.

Your preparations
are made, are they,

for Bournemouth?

Well, they're not
my preparations, but,

yes, they are made.

And you would have me
invalided away from here

before your journey south?

I would.

Do you now accept the
proposal I tendered you?

Scotland Yard?

I do not.

Will you force me to
have you dismissed?

Do you recall, Fred,

the night we were
called to Miller's Court

to attend the
remains of Miss Kelly?

You believe I will ever forget?

This was your chair,

that was your brandy,

and we drank,

in the hope that those remains,

the hard edges of
those images, stamped

into our minds, that they...

they might somehow be dulled.

But there is nothing can dull it,

not brandy,

not Bournemouth.

We spoke

at night of how

having seen his
acts in such detail,

of how we knew them,

as though they belonged
to us ourselves,

how therefore we felt that...

if only we might lay
our eyes upon him,

that then we would, without

proof, without witnessing,
without any evidence of any kind,

we might look into him,

and simply

know him.

What do you mean?

Do you say that you have
found Jack the Ripper?

No, Fred.

But there is

another circle

I now see coiled about me.

Another snake sent
to swallow its tail.

Yet another Whitechapel evil

whose scheme is yet
to be determined.

And that knowing,

Chief Inspector,

the knowing
certainty of purpose,

it slides into view

this day,

the next.

It comes.

And then...

And then this work will be rid of me

once and for all.

chamallow
addic7ed

Came over with the cattle, Mr. Best.

Not on the passenger
line, Mr. Ackerman?

Passengers get watched.

Livestock does not.

And I'm grateful to you, sir,

what you have uncovered.

You're a credit to us.

To all we newspapermen.

Well, I'm flattered, I'm sure.

But, Mr. Ackerman,

you did not bunk
down with the heifers

all the way to London just so
you might give me the glad hand.

I need your proof.

And I yours, sir.

I do not feed you
information for gratis.

You were to provide in kind.

Think I'd carry it out to dinner

with a man I've
never met, do you?

That evidence will be
hid for a while yet.

Besides,

trust must be earned,

Mr. Best.

Those who chase...

you and I...

this monster, Swift...

the man we would bring down...

he saw this done to me.

The money he hid...

the funds for which you searched
but could not find, sir...

their journey to this city
brought death with it...

55...

man, woman, and child.

Amongst that number,
one I loved.

Now, you doubt my commitment
one more time,

I shall take what I have

and go to print alone.

The thing itself in good time.

For now,

a sample.

Those soldiers' tunics are red,

if you have my meaning.

And their deaths relate to all

you would now elaborate upon.

Something else for
you, too, Mr. Best.

Its purpose will get
clearer, but, for now,

I entrust it to you for safekeeping.

Until we next meet, however,
you heed some advice...

This dance you join,
it is a deadly one, so,

you go now to
your place of work,

you take what you need,
and you do not return.

You do not take a step without that.

You do so in caution.

Fear is your friend, Mr. Best.

Fear keeps us alive.

I'll send for you again

once a place of
greater safety is found.

Okay, stop! Stop!

-You seen him...
-Please, sir!

if you see him,
you come and find me.

Look at me.

God!

London.

Remove the Englishmen, it
is not a city without appeal.

Yet here's a thing...

for reasons no doctor
has yet to clarify,

when I disembark here,

my bile rises

with heartburn, Mr. Ackerman.

We should tell you something.

You think yourself
a plague to me?

The reason I'm run
out of North America?

You are not.

I expand my empire.
Residing here suits my needs.

I worry more after the fucking
half blood than I do after you.

So, to business.

I cannot think you come
here without encouragement

in one form or another,

without assistance
from some other prick.

No. There's no one.

God!

Stop it!

Stop! Please stop!

And so,

the encouragement.

Who promises it?

Tell me who, I won't
have you killed.

All right.

His name's Best.

Fred Best of the Star.

God.

Thank you, Mr. Ackerman.

Jesus Christ, Caitlin.

Did you really?

Jackson?

Jackson!

Open this bloody door!

What?

-A man cannot sleep at his work?
-Fresh corpse arrived.

American, I'm told.

Let's hope you catch it.

His name's Ackerman,
sir. Ralph Ackerman.

Reporter,
resident of New York City.

New York City, indeed.

-This ascertained how?
-He is not robbed, sir.

His particulars still
on his person, therefore.

Pages torn from his
notebook, but all else intact.

His hands were roped,
boss. He was tortured.

And then the coup de
gr�ce betwixt his eyes.

Did he give them the answers
they sought therefore?

Grace, hotels, boarding houses?

No record of him, Mr. Reid.

Well, here... left luggage
stub in his billfold.

Not a large case,
and only a few items.

He did not mean to
remain with us long.

Tell him what else, Constable.

Sir.

He was seen... Rubensteins,

an early supper
taken in the company

of one who's well
recognized in these parts.

Another hacker.

Fred Best.

Continue your work, Captain.

Mr. Grace, get yourself
to the Royal Exchange,

the Reuter office within.

Every piece of reportage
our Mr. Ackerman's produced

within two years, say.

Let us find what preoccupations

have brought him to East
London for so short a stay.

Inspector Drake,

it is an old habit, but let us
go call on Mr. Best once more.

Welcome to Whitechapel, brother.

Ransacked, abandoned.

What of Best?

Do we imagine they found
what they hunted for?

The man himself,
or something he made?

Whichever.

We must assume that whatever

investigation saw the errant New
Yorker Mr. Ackerman's brains put out,

our Mr. Best is set on the same.

It was your own,
was it not, Mr. Reid?

Pocketed from the
man's obituary file.

Read after you were shot.

And now there is no
longer the need for it.

So you hope.

Mr. Ackerman, the ***.

There is a view down
the street, as I asked?

Our finest, sir.

Let us hope so.

The palliative farewell,

all as it should be.

Although,

the time approaches beyond which

any termination
would be problematic.

There's no call to concern
yourself on that score.

The likelihood of this
child being conceived

even within my imagination
was so slender that

no one's fate must be embraced.

Emilia,

for as long as it is possible,
for as long as it requires me to,

find a story for the world.

This is our secret, is it not?

I do not wait my turn.
Not ever.

And most certainly not here.

Caitlin, darlin'.

What use is this place

if it cannot provide
so little as a

fucking remedy for
the fucking heartburn?

Where is it you take me, Theodore?

Do you not think I have
matters to attend?

We go somewhere a lesson my
girls practically been learned.

"And what lesson
is that, Theodore?"

A lesson my darling girl,

that demonstrates just what the
future of Whitechapel will be,

now you and I have reconciled.

Reconciled...

Well, what would you call it?

I've been...

co-opted...

by organization ends.

Well,

this is what happens when you
thieve from your old man, Caitlin.

This way, sweetheart.

Where are they?

Where are the men?

All in good time.

This Obsidian,

you think to make it
an engine for good,

but you forget who you are.

There's nothing in your blood
to mark you out for philanthropy.

Think of what

energy and resources
you have expended

toward the betterment
of this world,

and yet your single
most notable achievement

remains this,

the death of 55 human beings.

No, you are a Swift.

No mistake of it.

Now...

This is what will happen here.

Your workers are sent home,

and this flattened
land is repossessed

for an altogether
grander scheme.

Remember just what
choices you have.

It is my way or the
rope, daughter mine.

Miss Hart.

I was told to find you here, but...

Where are the men?

They're sent home, Jane.

Forgive me, madam.

We have not met.

I'm Swift.

Theodore.

Sir.

Pleasure,

Miss Cobden.

And why are they sent home?

Will you say?

Development is shut down, Jane.

I'm sorry?

The development is shut down.

Why?

Why shut down?

'Tis too costly.

And it will change not a thing.

No, madam.

This is a dream,

some nightmare of ruin.

'Tis too costly,

and it will change not a thing.

This Ackerman, he's
freelance it would seem.

As all men of a free and noble
heart should be, Constable.

Gazettes, chronicles,
heralds, and sentinels.

Many periodicals,
and but one thing...

the corruption of the powerful
governments and corporations.

And one man,

one business, the seeming focus
of his most recent articles...

a man named Swift,

a shipping concern named Swiftline.

A case was even brought about

as a result of his investigating.

"A congressional inquiry

after Mr. Ackerman alleged that
Mr. Swift himself gave order

for a troupe of Pinkertons
to fire on the picket line,

which he, Mr. Swift, had
engaged them to break."

Now, do we think Mr. Best,

a hacker from the
Star, do we imagine

he has joined him

in his campaign against
the man Swift?

I don't know why you think I'm the
man to ask such questions, Grace.

I've lived here, here within
crawling distance of the London docks,

not those,

in Hoboken. Now you tell Reid
it's clear what did for this man.

Someone shot him.

There's nothing else he need know.

Constable Grace,
Wilkins up at the ace...

he reports a man with
a China ear booking in.

-Fetch yourself there, son.
-Pronto!

A man named Ackerman
known to you?

Someone shot him in the head.

It's time we were elsewhere, Best.

Ackerman, Theodore Swift,
everything you have... now.

Or the next man
you see will be Reid.

Indeed, Captain?

What, you will take
me to him and listen

as I draw a direct line
between the slaughter of the 55

and your wife?

Else why did you save me
from those men of H division?

Could it be that, though
you were long estranged,

you still feel the keen
urge to shield your wife

from all which might
mean her harm,

from the wrath of your
Leman Street colleagues?

All right, Best.

Your point's made.

But I mean to know.

Those are British soldiers.

The Royal Niger Company, I believe.

-And these connect how?
-I do not know.

Mr. Ackerman was to tell me.

These offered as

a taste.

A promise of what was to come.

We had corresponded for
some weeks, he and I.

He had looked but

failed to find

how Swift was
relocating his fortune.

And so you showed him

and demanded your
quid pro quo in return.

We agreed Swift
must be here in London.

Mr. Ackerman traveled to join
us, bringing, he assured me,

the discovered proof of
just what purpose that man,

his shipping line, and his newly
relocated fortune were now set.

Do you know what this is?

It's a stanhope.

It is for seeing things
that might otherwise

not be seen.

Lunch, sawbones, and I have
a hunger on me, I tell you.

Who are you?

Her manners are normally better.

Mr. Best, Miss Morton.

Listen to me, darlin'.
I need a favor.

One hour's all I ask. Only

sit with him, make sure
he goes nowhere.

Tis disagreeable as he looks?

No.

He's a good fella.

One hour.

Lunch, Mr. Best?

Where is it, Mr. Ackerman?

Where do you have it hid?

Not a name we have heard
in some years, Mr. Drake.

No, Mr. Reid.

Fred Best fleeing him, eager
to avoid ourselves also,

so it would seem.

This... his unbonded
workers shot in protest.

Were his culpability proved,

he would face criminal indictment,

and with that a jail term.

His assets stripped
from him in damages.

Quite so, Inspector.
And so...

Facing such a fate,
the removal from him

of his assiduously built fortune,

does he perhaps
choose to ship it

to an altogether
friendlier city?

It must be shipped
in secret, however,

and changed up, also,
into a currency

which bears no sign of his owner.

Unregistered securities.

Bearer bonds.

Shipped by anonymous
sea cans for London.

Sea cans which are loaded
aboard goods trains.

Goods trains which
then might be robbed.

At gunpoint on the
tracks of Whitechapel.

Do you not see it, sir?

See her...

the good Lady Hart.

She's held to have
saved you. I know this.

But the chances,

the happenstance,
it is too great.

That money, which her man
Capshaw plotted to thieve,

it is her father's
money, Swift money.

And we are to tell ourselves
she knew not one detail

of that plotting
to rob that train?

Now,

do we go up there, sir,

ask her direct?

Yes, Bennet.

I imagine we do.

Make haste!

Cellar to attic.

Cash and bearer bonds.
Pull the place apart.

Well, now.

Mr. Drake.

I knew it would not be long

before we were to
be reacquainted.

Bricks, Henderson,
Matthews... the upper floors,

see them ransacked, thorough-like.

At your service, Mr. Drake.

And you, Inspector Reid.

Are we not to have a
fond word of remembrance?

In due course, Mr. Swift.

I feel sure of it.

He will fall. Help him.

Water... bring it.

Madam,

there are those

who would have me drag you to
my cells by your ankles, and yet

it seems that I am in
your debt once more.

There is no debt between
friends, Inspector.

Since the moment those
engines fell into our world,

we have asked ourselves

why it is that none
have come forward

to claim they were robbed.

And here you,

your father returned.

The answer suddenly so simple.

I wonder...

are you ready to
make the report, sir?

A man cannot report
a burglarizing

if he has not been burglarized.

And I have not.

Explain your presence
here in London, Mr. Swift.

I visit my family.

You know a man,
name of Ackerman?

Ralph Ackerman?

Newspaperman out
of New York City.

Of course.

The man makes eternal
cause of blackening my name.

Name the day you last saw him?

I can not, sir.

I never once met him.

Nothing, Inspector.

Not a bean.

Save the safe in the wall, sir.

Miss Hart,

you will open your strongbox.

You think yourself
absolved, do you?

You are not.

I see you, Long Susan.

Dark and sharp as a midsummer shadow.

Your lies, your
blood-blackened heart...

I see you.

But you cannot show the world

what you see, can you, sir?

Constable Grace.

-Mr. Reid?
-Go now. Fetch two carpenters,

two masons also,

and when you have, see that
they then remove every floorboard

and cut every stone where
that money might be hid.

Yes, sir.

I think

your men might be done here, no?

Don't you?

My thanks, madam.

Good day, Inspector.

All victory is fleeting, Mr. Swift.

Fear not, Caity,

your papa will see you
another palace built.

Sir.

Come sit.

Move through. Move through.

Bennet...

Bennet, I feel...

I feel the earth shift and fall.

Mr. Reid?

Did you send for me, Amelia?

Not I. He.

How is he... the old man?

He will see us all
into the ground.

That's because he
deals with the devil.

And you just opened
your doors to him.

You believe I have a
choice in the matter?

How much has he told you, Caitlin?

Has he told you just what
business it is that he

establishes for himself here?

Nothing that man can
do would surprise me.

Then why do you allow
him to kick back here?

What does he have
over you, darlin'?

I really need to tell you?

I think you do, Caitlin.

By way of example,

have you told him yet

how you shot Reid?

I'm glad that you don't
attempt to deny it, Caitlin.

How did you do it, Matthew?

How did you discover me?

It doesn't matter how I did it.

How did you do it?

It was a choice.

A decision.

As with all in this life,
a right turn, a left turn.

You either choose or you
allow others to choose for you.

And now you'll simply
just allow yourself

to be folded back into your
father's life once more?

I will not, but that
depends on you, Matthew,

-on your choice.
-I won't lie for you.

Not on this.

You'll not protect me,

as you once swore
such ardent oath to do?

No?

Then perhaps you will
protect your child.

The night before I shot Reid,

we two were like hot and wanton
dogs in a Whitechapel cutter.

There was no other before,
no other since.

The child is a new thing.

It might make us newly excited.

Choose, Matthew.

Choose.

Where is he?

Gone.

He would not be stopped.

Gone? Gone where?

He spoke only of going to print.

That clown is going
the right way

towards getting himself dead.

Then perhaps he would
be considerate enough

to show you that road also.

He is quite the fountain of knowledge,

your Mr. Best.

Not a soul hereabouts
whose stories

he doesn't have
cached away somewhere.

You, for example,

Matthew.

Now, I never hid that.

I gave you my name.

But not your story.

I didn't have you pegged
as judgmental, Hermione.

I am not.

But I know when I am
become an option for a man

rather than his priority.

And I am nothing if not
demanding in that regard.

It is after her well-being

that you now
chase around, is it not?

Your Caitlin.

She's pregnant.

Captain Homer Jackson,

there was a future for you.

And in its stead,

you chose the past.

He is your friend.

His troubles are not yours.

Are they not?

Mr. Reid... he...

he cannot continue
as he is. He cannot

police with the hurt
he now carries.

And so Abberline insists
I now take his place.

Take his place or copper no more.

Not around 'ere, leastwise.

How does that notion
now sit with you?

Now that you and I are...

Well, we shall be together,

if I have you beside me, Rose,

that chair...

it would hold no
fears for me no more.

I should get back.

I know.

I shall be here for
you later, however.

I know that also.

Watch your grinnin'
if you see Miss Morton.

She and the captain...

No longer, it seems.

What'd he do?

Miss Susan, apparently.

Rose,

will you tell me what
Miss Morton said?

She said he

left her to wait in his
rooms with Fred Best and...

With who?

Jackson!

Mr. Ackerman...

what did he give you?

Do you mean amorously, Mr. Swift,

or by way of disease?

You're a spry fellow,
are you not, Mr. Best?

Springing from one man's
pillar to another's post?

See this mandrake,
this prick smuggler,

may dance no more.

No, no.

Don't! Please! Please!

I will... I... I will speak.
I will... will speak.

You see, darling?

He's not such an
unreasonable fellow.

The floor is yours, Mr. Best.

Let us end this dance
now, shall we?

I know what Ackerman
did not know...

not till I told him.

I know that your money...

that all of your money was
shipped here as bearer bonds

to be cached away from those
that would bring you to heel.

I know that she,
your daughter...

that she saw a tranche
robbed from you.

You shared this information
with Mr. Ackerman?

And in return, Mr. Best,

what did he give you?

What did he pass you
in that kike kook shop?

No. There...
there was no time.

He was not able.

After all that effort,

both his and yours?

I do not believe you, Mr. Best.

I am, however, of
a mind to show you.

This

is a British gun,

built for the
conquest of all those

who would stand
in Britain's way.

Well,

I'm buying them now.

And selling them, too.

To all those

who would see such weaponry
turned back on its creator,

myself, my shipping lines,

we shall prove an
effective quartermaster.

But...

Why would you tell me

this if you...?

If I do not mean to kill you?

Well,

who can tell?

Perhaps I am vainglorious.

But, see,

I shall certainly kill you

if you do not speak

of who else you have shared
your hard-won knowledge with.

Please,

Mr. Best,

he is in earnest
and must be indulged.

You must save yourself.

Must I now?

Which names would you have, sir?

Why, all, Mr. Best.

I shall tell you.

Only spare me.

Tell me,

and we shall see about that.

I have told multitudes,
Mr. Swift.

I have told bin rakers,
I have told sweeps,

I have told every street Arab

and mudlark from the
Thames to the Old Nichol,

from the city gates
to the old forgery...

coal-whippers, lumberers,
watermen, coachmen,

churls, flower girls,
trotter scrapers!

I have whispered in their ears!

I have howled it
across tap rooms!

And what is it you have told?

What indeed?

I shall tell you what
Fred Best, in his love,

in his benediction
for each and every soul

who must scrape

and connive their way to this
benighted part of the world,

this is what he told them.

That Mr. Theodore Patrick Swift

longs for nothing more in his life

than a proud cock in one hole

whilst he suckles from
another in the other.

You know, Mr. Best,

I have not killed a
man in nigh on 15 years!

No, Theodore! No!

Sometimes Pa says with a frown

soon you'll have to settle down

have to wear your wedding gown

be the strictest wife in town

well, it must come by and by

when wed, to keep
quiet, I'll try

but till then I shall not sigh

I shall still go in for my

Bravo!

Bravo!

I wouldn't be here
if it wasn't urgent.

But... Drake.

I need to find Drake.

-Best has disappeared.
-He's not here, Captain.

Superbe! Superbe!

Mademoiselle Erskine!

Delighted to welcome you, sir.

Bonsoir.

Benny.

Enchant�, mademoiselle. Enchant�.

See now, Captain, he comes.

Drake, listen to me...

you must hear me.

Must I?

Then it needs be outside, renegade,

-for I will not mar this night here.
-Renegade?

Why is it you must forever

seek to curse me?

I found what you hide.

I know you conspire against us.

Shit.

You come here!

Wait, Drake, you don't understand.

It's Swift.

Theodore Swift.

I know who it is!

Let me explain.

Benny! Benny!

Benny!

But, Drake, I know
what you're doing.

And I know what you do.

*** need to be trusted.

Well done, Inspector.

But then I hate to
disappoint you, Drake.

You, Captain, are arrested.

Under what charge is this
man arrested, Inspector Drake?

Obstruction of justice.

The case?

Attempted murder.

Whose?

Yours, Mr. Reid.

Ask him, sir.

Ask him who he protects.

I am not sure I need to.

For now there are other
priorities currently upon us.

With me, gentlemen.

Jeez.

Jesus, Best.

Where?

The same tip on which
Mr. Ackerman was found.

It is Swift.

You know this how?

You see the geometry
of the ballistics here?

That's not many weapons, but one.

The Maxim machine gun.

The new weapon of choice
for our imperial forces.

No longer just that.

Drake, the belongings
you took from my rooms...

might I have them?

Please.

You both want to see this.

You know what this is, don't you, Reid?

Yes. It is a stanhope.

Magnifying device, very powerful.

It enables the viewing
of micro-photographs.

There's a cargo manifest also.

It records Swift's shipments,

from which he supplies
anti-imperialist forces worldwide.

Anti-British to the Niger,
anti-French to North Africa.

Anti-U.S. to the Philippines.

These weapons are stockpiled
here in East London,

and sold to whoever bids highest

or to who might point
such weapons

at whoever it is he disdains.

My father-in-law trades in death now.

And he chooses Whitechapel
as his command center.

Well, can we take him?

Can we tie him to these?

By motive, but there's
nothing physical I can see.

Then we will require

an informant, someone who
might speak against him.

What he accuses you of...

'tis true?

It is.

Go on.

It is Susan's thumbprint

on the gun that shot you.

You removed it?

You matched it.

I think I must go speak to
her, see if such a proving

may bring her to our course.

You do not ask how or for why,

but it is yours.

A fund for the clinic.

That it might develop as you see fit.

This...

more important.

Miss Susan...

Just...

why would you abandon us?

It is not an abandoning.

It is only your sovereignty.

Yours, Dr. Frayn.

No soul,

no man to say
what may or may not

be done within these walls.

Only you.

Good morning, Miss Susan.

Good morning, Mathilda.

I am astonished, madam,
that you would come here now.

Might we speak?

Please, Jane.

For earlier,

It is too hard to explain

but I am so,

so sorry.

For much else besides, but I hope...

This.

It removes the tenement lands

from the title of Obsidian
and transfers it to yours.

-I...
-Please, Jane, only listen.

Where I have failed,
you must now succeed.

Do you understand?

Goodbye, Mathilda.

Goodbye, Miss Susan.

Be...

Be good for your father.

I let myself in. Your girl...

I've sent her away.

And your father?

He now takes up the
suite at the Athenaeum.

I cannot let you leave, madam.

The surgeon has told you, then.

Not by his own choosing.

He was discovered,
and Inspector Drake

has a way of extracting the truth.

Please, Inspector,

do not perform a dance for him.

No dance.

Your Mr. Judge,

so long as I have known him,

his actions have had many a root,

but a black heart is not one.

A black heart?

If only it were so simple.

You might hunt out villainy
with ease, fill your cells,

and allow the good
people of this earth

to walk forever unmolested.

There are times, however,

when it is perhaps
as simple as all that.

One looks at another man

and knows

that he is for nought but
iniquity in this world.

In many ways, it is a gift

to be shown such,

a gift we should not
run from but welcome.

My life,

Miss Susan, a
policeman's life, we look for

pattern

to show us our path. Pattern, form,

a design.

And so here

I offer you one such.

You

and your Mr. Capshaw set men
to thieve from your father.

The cataclysm that ensued

sees Mr. Buckley

and his wife

bankrupted. And in
that bankrupting,

Obsidian Estates
absorbs their shop

and so reveals the discovery
of all that lay within...

my daughter.

Pattern.

But design, Inspector?

Whose?

Who can say?

But was it mere accident

that saw neither of your
shots hit their mark?

It was my husband
taught me to shoot.

And I do not think him
inaccurate in his teaching.

Unless, of course, he thought

that one day you might
have cause to shoot at him.

I wonder, do you...

do you consider us

tragedians caught in some farce?

Because you,

despite the concessions
you have made

to survive in this
world of ours, I know

your intentions have been
for the benefit of all.

And yet one act damns me.

I take from a man...

my cruel father...

whose money is made
on nothing more

than the blood and toil of others,

and then I am drowned
in a tide of slaughter.

I think of nothing but
the protection of my world

from a man who

ripped the sex and entrails

from five young women,

and in my fevered pursuit,
my eye is turned,

and my daughter...

lost,

gone.

Caged in that cellar.

Until

your incidental calamity,

by turns,

brings her back to me.

'Tis as you say, Mr. Reid.

We are caught in the
teeth of some grotesque.

Damned if we do

and damned if we do not.

We might act now, however,

wrest some measure of
control back to ourselves,

see good done.

Caitlin.

Why do you send for me?

She does not, Mr. Swift.

I do.

Police, Caity?

Have you lost yourself?

No, Theodore.

Quite the reverse.

Kill this copper for me, will you?

Good day to you, Theodore.

You.

You are finished!

Yes.

Mr. Swift, I expect I am.

You see, there is something

I have had too
many occasions to learn

when a man such as
yourself is concerned.

The law cannot constrain you.

Too fucking right, policeman.

So,

you drop this now.

Or prepare for the wrath of
god to fall on your shoulders.

No.

Because, you see,

this is the lesson.

Evil men

need evil ends.

What is this, Caitlin?

We... Inspector and I...

we wish to show you somewhere,

a place that has come
to mean much to us both.

A place where a little girl was kept.

Down you go,

Theodore.

What is this place, Caitlin?

'Tis the belly of Whitechapel.

At your instruction, Father,
work here is shut down.

There will not be a
soul through for weeks.

You make yourself at home, sir.

-You coming, Caitlin?
-One moment.

For the heartburn, Father.

No!

No!

Fuck you all! No!

This does not end this way!

Theodore Swift
does not end this way.

Then how, sir?

It is only the suicide
chooses their conclusion.

Caitlin!

Think of what you do!

I am blood.

Your blood.

It is your family you kill here.

No.

'Tis my family I keep safe.

What make of woman are you?!

I'm your father, damn you!

I made you!

I made you!

Inspector.

Inspector. Captain.

A fence from the
Wentworth Street hold-up,

a runner come, sir.

Constable Grace
brings him to ground.

Yours, I believe, Inspector Drake.

You make the choice.

I wish you well with it, Drake.

For better or worse.

Right?

Congratulations
Mr. and Mrs. Drake.

"London will remember
him for this...

that he was the detective who,

alongside Detective
Inspector Frederick Abberline,

led the pursuit of the man

we at the Star named 'Jack the Ripper.'

but whilst his streets
might, in the years since,

have found some measure
of recovery,

it is this obituarist's fear
that Edmund Reid did not."

I shall race you, my daddy.

"If there is justice where
he now walks, it might be

that the care which
he wore so heavily

will be lifted from him."

"Those who knew him,
those who did not,

those who may have only seen him

stride past in pursuit

of whatever villainy
beset him that day,

he might offer a prayer for him.

And this might be our prayer for peace,

for his peace."

"We, the children of the east,

of the docksides, highways,

rookeries, and laneways,

we pray for the peace

of Edmund Reid."
