Original subtitles

It’s Miss Scarlet, she’s disappeared.

I’m sorry to say he is passed.

I’ve seen him before.

These are as perfectforgeries as I’ve ever seen.

Nathaniel!

It’s very likely that these men wereresponsible for your father’s murder.

He kept saying… He’s comingfor me, he’s coming for me.

It’s some Jamaicangoes by the name of Moses.

I will not drink this.

Do not harm her, I beg you.

You will go to hell for this.

Explain yourself, man.

I don’t know whathappened, sir, I’m sorry.

You’re sorry that our chief witness is deador you’re sorry that it was your fault?

Uh, one minute I wasguarding his hospital room,

having a cuppa and…

You had a cup of teawhile you were on duty.

The next I woke up on the floor,

a broken cup andsaucer beside me

and a scalded leg.

I don’t give a damnabout your leg.

Nathaniel Caine is dead.

Yes, sir.

Who gave you this…

cuppa?

Uh, a nurse, uh, Mary,

uh, she was the onewho bathed my leg.

If you mention your leg one more timeI’ll knock your bloody block off.

Go on.

I think he’s tellingthe truth, Duke.

There were traces oflaudanum in the tea.

- Find this Mary and question her.- We already have,

she’s just some nursewith a ripe arse.

She made Honeychurch the teaand left it on the side,

anyone passingcould’ve spiked it.

- It’s a busy ward.- We have one lead to go on,

the Jamaican.

Find him.

You’re not to letanyone in or out

and on no account are youto eat or drink anything.

Anything at all,do you understand?

And do not let MissScarlet distract you,

she may seem likea helpless woman

but mark my words she willrun rings around you.

Yes, sir.

Nathaniel Caine was foundmurdered this morning,

someone got to himat the hospital.

But of course youalready know this.

I might’ve overheard theguards talking outside.

Overheard from inside here?

From when I tookthem out some tea.

You went outsideand took them tea?

And… cake.

I specifically said that youwere not to leave the house.

Don’t you understand thedanger that you’re in?

And you’re right,William you’re right.

I’m sorry.

Now come and sit down

you must be exhausted.

Do not pretend that you care.

Still angry with ya.

I know you are but comeand sit down anyway.

How’s your hand?

Painful.

Now tell me more about the case.

Well this,

this is the largest forgery operationthat Scotland Yard has ever seen.

We think the billsof exchange found

in that cell were somewherein the region of £70,000.

We’ve put warnings out toevery major bank in London

but the forgers wereone step ahead.

They’d already cashed in theremaining bills of exchange

and escaped with agreat deal of gold.

But the sheer size oftheir withdrawals means

that we were able to identifywhich banks they had accounts in.

The bank managers can give descriptionsof the men that’s something.

And the fact that gold is heavy,

especially in such an amount

you can’t easily transportit in a simple suitcase.

So they will hide it somewhereand wait to make their escape.

And there’s still noinformation as to

who this gang are,

no name has come up?

Not, as yet no.

Look I must get back.

But before I leave.

I need you swear thatyou’ll stay inside.

These are dangerous men, Eliza.

I swear it.

This um,

this Moses character, haveyou seen him recently?

Not for some time,

what of him?

There’s a gentlemanto see Miss Scarlet

but the officerswon’t let him in.

This is, this ismost inconvenient,

I, I’m in urgent needto see Miss Scarlet.

Mr Parker.

Ah, how, how nice to seeyou, Inspector Wellington!

Yes, quite now

if you’re here tosee Miss Scarlet

- then I’m afraid that she’s…- Mr Parker!

I’m so sorry but youcannot come in.

Inspector Wellington’sorders I’m afraid.

But that is most vexingindeed, Miss Scarlet,

since I must speak to you on arather urgent personal matter.

Although of course uh, I willrespect the orders of such

a high ranking police officer.

And respect him we must.

We both know this is nothing morethan a, than a harmless social call

but we must defer to InspectorWellington’s diligence in such matters.

Let Mr Parker through butno one else, understand.

Thank you.

Have a lovely day, Inspector Wellington.

Scotland Yard, Arthur.

An urgent personal matter,

that was an inspiredcover story, Rupert.

That was no cover story.

I am in a terrible,terrible funk.

And Herr Hildergard’sniece is the cause of it.

Oh. And I’m sorry to hear that.Now, you have the message.

I have known,

I have known Frauline Hildegard

for no more than three days

and yet she has alreadyproposed to me.

As bold as brass.

Apparently, apparently the girlis already in love with me,

- how can that be?- Rupert, the message.

No I, I planned to court

the young Frauline for theremainder of her stay

and, and then when she returnedhome to her little German village

I intended to propose a long distanceengagement for one, maybe two years.

And now my plan’s scuppered.

Scuppered.

Scuppered.

Well um,

perhaps she does not want toreturn to village life in Germany.

Yes, of course.

Perhaps she desires a life offinancial security in London.

This could be a marriage ofconvenience for her too.

A marriage of conveniencefor both of us.

Yes.

Now, do you um, do youhave my reply from Moses?

It’s just when, when I firstmet Frauline Hildegard there…

…was barely a peep from her

and this morning her, herEnglish seemed a great

deal better than… she’dfirst let on and,

and when I told her I needed to thinkof her proposal she stamps her foot.

Do I really want a wife thatmuch willing determination?

Uh, then tell her no.

- No? - Yes, no. And firmly.

Yes you’re right.

A firm no. No that,

that is the safestcourse of action.

Good. Now, to my matter.

I need your help, Rupert.

Indeed.

So you will distract the guards…

…with some sort of fainting fit

and while they arefocused on helping you,

I will exit by the back doorand sneak around the side.

What?

It’s the fainting fit it…

Apart from the fact I’m a man…

Men faint too.

But does it not appeara little dramatic?

Well what do you suggest?

What, what if I wereto pretend to choke?

Excellent! So just hold theirattention for long enough,

two minutes should do it,

now we must hurry. I wantto head out by the kitchen

while Ivy’s upstairs.

Eliza… Good luck.

How strange.

What is it?

The policemen,

they’ve already gone.

You must leave at once.

It’s not safe here.

Our Jamaican friend’swell prepared.

- Duke. - Yeah.

Moses late is he?

Found your note in his room.

What were you doing in his room?

I told you to stayhome where it’s safe.

Yes, and then you dismissed theguards, what sense is that?

- I dismissed no guards.- Well they were not there when

I walked freely out of my house.

Heads will roll for this.

- And you saw no one instruct them?- No.

And why the interest in Moses?

It would appear that Moses is part of thecriminal gang that killed your father.

We found these forged billsof exchange in his room.

Why were the officersdismissed, sir?

Guarding Miss Scarlet’shouse is simply excessive.

This criminal gangwhoever they are

will be hell benton fleeing London.

You said yourself the Jamaicanhas gone underground.

The notion that theywould waste time

trying assassinate the daughterof some drunk detective,

well quite franklyit’s ludicrous.

I do not want totake that risk, sir.

You’ve taken a shine tothis woman, have you not?

My concern is purelyprofessional, sir.

Well I’m inclined to disagree.

I think your judgementhas been clouded.

Well with all due respect I think it isyour judgement that’s in question here.

I beg your pardon?

You do not like me that is clear butdo not make Miss Scarlet’s safety

a casualty of that dislike.

You’d do well to rememberwho you’re talking to.

Now get out thereand do your job.

Or I’ll get someoneto do it for you.

Do you understand? Wellington.

Yes, sir.

Is this really necessary?

Not if I could trust youto say in my office.

Then I promise toremain in there.

Eliza, there is a criminal gang onthe loose who would like you dead.

So until I get thelay of the land

then this is thesafest place for you.

We need to discuss Moses.

I don’t believe that he’sa part of this, William.

How can he be?

How can a well-seasoned criminalbe involved in a forgery gang?

You don’t know him like I do.

Oh, so you know him well?

- Yes. - Good.

Then what do you knowof his associates?

Did he speak ofanyone in particular?

No. No one.

And I would put my life upon itthat he’s not a part of this.

Well I have evidenceto the contrary.

- I’ll kill ya! - Eat something.

At least let me help youwith the investigation.

William!

Somewhere… in this little lot isan answer to who this gang are.

So far all we have is this Mosescharacter but as yet no other links.

Frank, go through the telegramsfrom the regional forces.

Cross reference their lists ofevery high level forger with this.

These are the descriptionsgiven by the bank managers

of the men who cleared outtheir accounts this morning.

Bloody hell is this it?

Smartly dressed, expensivecologne, average height.

Yeah, so far that’s allwe’ve got to go on.

You two, Caine hada spell in Newgate

April 1877 to May 1880,

go through all the prison recordsof inmates during that time

see if any of them werehigh level forgers.

Could be he was recruited by the gangwhile they were doing time together.

What?

We’re gonna need more men.

Any file that does not have furtherinterest goes on this pile,

Detective Jenkins.

Any file that does have furtherinterest goes on this pile

and any pile that is a question markyou give to Inspector Wellington

who can make a judgement.

Follow the system lads.

It’s like having mybloody Mrs here.

Frank, get back to work.

You too, Miss Scarlet.

The shortlist of sevencriminal gangs is short indeed

and their links to Caine aretenuous to say the least.

- But they are still links.- And none leading back to Moses.

First thing we willquestion the bank managers

and show them the mugshots of our seven.

- You need to rest.- No more than you.

Why must everything leadto combat with you?

You have that effect on me.

Well I hope you willnot fight me on this.

I wish you to stay at my house.

- I beg your pardon.- For reasons of security.

I will take the armchair,you can take my room.

I’m not staying the night at yourhouse, think of my reputation.

Since when did you careabout your reputation?

You will stay at mine. I willnot budge on this William.

Very well.

I’ll let the desk sergeant know whereyour address is in case I’m needed.

And the word of thelord said to Jonah

at the great city

and cry against her

- for their wickedness has come up upon...- Come on, keep it moving.

Beg your pardon Ma’am.

May god be with you.

- Get a move on, come on.- And the word of the lord

is thy...

Come along.

Everything is back in order.

Would your menlike refreshments?

No. And this time you’re not togo out there and disturb them.

I’m impressed you persuadedStirling to put the guards back.

Well I can be very persuasive.

You paid for those guardsout of your own pocket.

Do not deny it, William.

I don’t know whatyou’re talking about

but I do know that I am hungry.

Good. Because dinner is served.

Excellent!

Is it that we dinein the kitchen?

I’m sorry I… Ishould’ve thought.

I rarely eat in the dining room.

I tend to join Ivydownstairs these days.

No, it’s, it’s not that.

It um, might tastebetter than it looks?

I’m an eternal optimist Eliza,but we have to be realistic.

It’s not my fault.

You were the one who insistedIvy stay at Rupert’s.

How selfish of me tothink of Ivy’s safety.

I didn’t mean it like thatI’m merely frustrated, I,

I keep meaning tolearn how to cook

but there’s always somethinginfinitely more interesting to do.

Clearly!

Look, do you have any eggs?

- Yes. - Good.

Boiled will do nicely.

You don’t know howto boil an egg?

Lord, Eliza.

And it’s as simple as that.

Indeed.

How much longer?

Almost done.

You bought a new watch.

Yes,my older was no longer fit for purpose.

I`m sorry about that.

All the years I knew Henry I don’tthink I’ve ever been in this kitchen.

If my father could see us now he mightmistake us for an old married couple.

I can assure you Elizaif we were married

then I would not becooking my own eggs.

Then it’s a good jobwe’re not married then.

Isn’t it just.

I think it’s um,been three minutes.

Yes.

You are in serious trouble.

Story of my life.

What were those bills ofexchange doing in your room?

Your inspector put them there.

I take it he is asleep.

Maybe I should take theopportunity and slit his throat.

You would not do such a thing.

You don’t know me,

you don’t know who I have been

and what I have done.

I know enough.

You’re no ruthless murderer.

But you are an opportunist so…

I must ask, did you have anything to dowith those men that killed my father?

If I say no will you believe me?

Yes.

Yes, I will.

No.

I did not.

Why would Inspector Wellingtonplace those bills in your room,

he wants to find this gang,

he wouldn’t put me at risk wastingtime chasing the wrong man.

Believe me, Miss Scarlet,

I have been the wrongman many times.

I’ve known InspectorWellington for a long time.

He wouldn’t do such a thing,

I trust him, Moses.

That might make youchange your mind.

That is Nathaniel Caine’sbrother’s address.

But Caine’s prison recordsshow he had no family.

Then someone hasdoctored those records.

Benjamin Caine isliving and breathing.

But for how muchlonger I don’t know.

He’s been threatenedto keep his mouth shut

or else.

By who? What, the forgers?

By Scotland Yard.

I hope you slept well.

Yes, thank you, and you?

As well as can be expected.

Trust me Eliza

do not eat that egg.

If you do you will endup extremely unwell,

how long did you boil them for?

William I, I have something

to tell you and when you hear it

you will be extremelyangry with me

so I will just say it quickly.

I met Moses here last night.

He swears he is innocentof all of this.

He believes that contrary to NathanielCaine’s prison records he does have a brother

a Benjamin Caine.

He reported Nathaniel missingbut someone warned him off.

It was an officerat Scotland Yard.

Mr Caine.

I don’t want no trouble.

Then you’d better let me in.

I told the Jamaicanwhat he wanted to hear.

No copper threatened me.

I`m a reasonable man, Mr Caine.

So, I’m gonna give you onechance to tell the truth

and if I feel thatyou’re lying to me,

I will be very upset.

Now, I can assure you,you do not want to see me upset.

So, do we understand each other?

- Yeah. - Pardon?

Yes, Inspector Wellington.

Good.

Then let’s start again.

Was the Jamaicantelling the truth?

Yeah.

Nathaniel didn’t come home,

it had only been a few days buthe’d never been gone so long

so I went to Scotland Yardand reported him missing.

After a week I heard nothing so I wentback and I demanded to speak to someone.

I was put in a room and,

and then this copper came in.

And what did he say?

That I had no brother

and when I told him I did

he walloped me across the room,

told me to go home andkeep my gob shut.

That if I didn’t I’d end upin the bottom of the Thames.

Who was this officer?

Posh.

Um, he said hisname was Stirling.

Oi, oi, why are theyringing the alarm?

Ah some stupid soddropped their fag,

caused a small fire inone of the offices.

They’re just putting it out now.

Where was this fire?

These are files of all the missingpersons from the last six months,

the fire was inthe archive room.

How convenient,

do you think it was Stirling?

I don’t know whatthe hell to think.

One thing is clear,Moses was not involved, he was set up...

Eliza, please. I have morepressing things on my mind.

If Stirling is linkedto the forgers

then he would not have riskedgoing into those banks himself.

No, he would not.

We have our shortlist of gangs we should presson and show the bank managers the mugshots.

Agreed.

But not here.

Do any of these men look

like the forgers whocome into your bank?

Him.

Yes he was one of the men.

And

yep…

He was with him.

Cartwright brothers.

Tell us exactlywhat they told you.

They said they were businessmeninvesting in the railways.

They opened opened anaccount couple of months ago.

They were always polite,well-dressed gentlemen.

And what about yesterday morning whenthey cleared out their accounts?

They told me they had done several bigdeals with various railway companies

and had been given billsof exchange as payment.

They cashed these in andtook the money in gold.

Large amount, seems several cases.

They said they were going to... Newcastle?

Yes,Newcastle. To set up a new company there.

And there was nothingelse about them,

nothing unusual or odd?

There was one thing,

they were well dressed

but there was alwaysa slightly odd

smell about them.

They wore cologne,too much of everything,

but it could notdisguise the odour.

You may speak freely.

It was excrement.

Subtle but there.

And uh, and they hadtried to disguise it?

Their cologne was excessive.

My uncle worked in a tannery.

He wore too much cologne to disguise thesmell of what they used to soften the leather.

Dog shite.

Forgive me, Miss Scarlet.

That will be all for now.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Shall I call in the next one?

No, he seemed quite certain itwas the Cartwright brothers

and time is not on our side.

So what’s next?

We need a map.

So the banks are…

Here, here and here.

As you say, William,gold is heavy

so they’d need a convenientplace to hide out and

stash it until they couldmake their move to run.

Tanneries have many hiding placesbut they’re full of workers.

Not the old Bermondsey tannery,it still stinks to high heaven…

…but hasn’t been used for years.

What in god’s name?

I told you to make sure shestayed in the carriage.

I tried sir but sheis very determined.

The only way I could make herstay was to manhandle her.

Then that is preciselywhat you should’ve done.

Last time I crossed hershe gave me a black eye.

I am here you know,

you can address me directly.

Get back to the carriage now.

I am tired of waitingfor you in carriages.

Duke! In here!

Get her back to the carriageand stand up to her, man.

- Frank? - In here.

Stirling.

God almighty.

What happened?

Well the chief takes policecorruption very seriously.

A full investigation willbe launched into Stirling.

This office and home arebeing searched as we speak.

And what of them?

We found a trainticket on Stirling

first class to Liverpool

and we think hearranged to meet them

but they double crossed them,took his share of the gold.

It makes no sense.

Stirling was from a wealthy family whywould he involve himself in such a thing?

Greed.

He was wealthy buthe wanted more.

I got a telegram from theCunard office in Liverpool.

Two men matching the descriptionof the Cartwright brothers

boarded the RMS Umbria thismorning bound for New York.

Telegram New York, give themthe details of the case.

Will they be arrested?

That is the hope but

our friends in the New York policedepartment are not always cooperative.

So my father’s killerscould walk free.

We don’t know that itwas either of them.

It could’ve been Stirling.

Eliza I want justice forHenry as much as you do.

By god I would string up whoevermurdered him with my own bare hands.

But right now we can do no more.

Let me take you home,

we can collect Ivy fromMr Parker’s on the way.

If Stirling was working withsomeone in the department,

then you will be thelast thing on their minds.

You’re a true friend, William.

I’m eternally grateful.

I don’t know how to thank you.

Have dinner with me.

Tonight.

I would like that.

But first we must find Moses.

Oh how you love to tease me.

Stirling clearly set Moses upknowing your dislike of him,

- he deserves an apology.- I’m not apologizing to that man.

That man?

We both owe Moses a great debt.

You are prone toexaggerate, Eliza.

His help with the case was forhis own gain, nothing more.

The man is a criminal.

He risked his freedomcoming to see me.

Well perhaps you shouldtake him to dinner then.

That would cause quite a stiramongst the other diners.

I’ll get my own cab.

What happened to your eternal gratitude,it’s not even been a full minute?

As you say, William, I’m

prone to exaggerate.

Excuse me.

The lads are devastated over thedemise of our esteemed super.

To Frederick Alloysius Stirling.

May the stuck up ass rest in peace.

- Yeah! Yeah! - To Striling!

Oi.

We did well today me old mate.

We deserve to get very drunk.

If you say so.

There’s only one woman

that makes you this miserable.

Lovers tiff?

Hmm, I don’t wannatalk about it.

You wanna hear the secretto a happy marriage?

Not really, Frank.

Me and my Mrs go outdancing every week.

She goes Tuesdays

and I go Thursdays.

Christ.

Pity my old woman didn’tfind me as funny as you do.

Maybe she wouldn’t have left me.

She’s left you?

Yeah.

Last week.

Pig.

That’s what she used to call me.

There’s someone here to see you.

Inspector Wellington?

Ah, I must speak withyou urgently Eliza.

Thank you.

Now, Frauline Hildegardis on her way over

and she is most, most vexed.

She’s angry with you?

No. No, she is angry with you.

Why?

Well you were the one who instructedme to decline her proposal, you…

It was more of a suggestionthan an instruction.

A firm no Rupert is whatyou said. A firm no.

Oh Rupert please do not tell meyou put the blame on me again?

Again?

When you moved outfrom your mother’s.

Yes.

See, mother dislikes you a lotmore than Frauline Hildegard.

Move along.

Here.

- Is your Mrs not coming back?- Nah!

And good riddance.

Do this Frank, do that Frank,

do this that and thebloody other Frank.

You’re a better impressionistthat you are a copper.

Uh, I can do anyone.

Say that again and I’ll knockyou through that bloody wall.

- That was you!- It’s very good,

very good.

You have anothervisitor, Miss Scarlet.

You will not take my fiancé.

Frauline Hildegard I do not knowhow things are done in Germany

but we do not burst intopeople’s homes unannounced here.

Do not be superior with me.

It is difficult not to when you areshouting at me in my drawing room.

He is mine!

- You have your policeman!- I beg your pardon.

Look at the innocence.

I came here first thingto speak with you.

I knocked and no one answered,

but I saw him creepup your stairs

waiting for you no doubt.

Harlot!

You saw Detective InspectorWellington creep up my stairs.

No, not the handsomeone, the other one.

What other one?

My name isSuperintendent Stirling.

Right, right have yougot a spare blanket?

Well it was until someghastly villains did me in.

No blankets, Frank,

I’ll just have to makedo with a coat for now.

What have you done, Frank?

Did you kill Henry?

And that would’vebeen the end of it.

But you didn’t keep hisdaughter in line, did ya.

Interfering!

Like only a bloody woman would.

Don’t blame her forwhat you’ve done.

And what’s that?

Got rich.

Cartwright brothers,

they aren’t on the wayto New York, are they?

They’re at the bottomof the Thames.

Things

just got too complicated after

you found Caine.

You threatened his brother

pretending to be Stirling.

And now I’ve gottaget rid of you too.

I really am sorry me, old mate.

You stay there.

What the hell areyou doing here?

May I?

For god’s sake, Eliza, whatthe hell are you doing here?

Oi,

you got the better of me once,

that won’t happen again.

I come unarmed.

- What? - What?

I don’t own a gun.

Yes, that is something Ishould no doubt rectify

- given the business I am in.- Have you lost your mind?

I need no weapon.

I intend to reason withDetective Jenkins.

Oh, lord.

Reason?

Yes.

You do know

that after I kill him…

Look at me!

I’m gonna kill you too.

Yes, I have gathered that

- but would you at least hear me out?- No!

I’ve had my fill of your gob.

I know where you’ve hiddenthe gold you stole.

Course you do.

Right now PC Honeychurch has a groupof men heading over to retrieve it.

Yeah?

Where is it then?

First I would like you to releaseWilliam and then I will tell you.

That makes no sense.

It really doesn’t, Eliza.

Very well I don’tknow where it is.

It was merely a delay tactic.

For what?

That’s what I likemost about you, Moses.

Your punctuality.

Frank used you to distract me

allowing him time to take careof the Cartwright brothers

and set Stirling up.

Well…

I’m glad to havebeen of service.

I better go.

Thank you.

Inspector Wellington willgive you a ride home, Moses.

That’d be most kind.

I don’t want a ridehome from you.

Well, that’s a relief.

Can I be candid, inspector?

Be my guest.

I like you even lessthan you like me.

But for her sake…

Let me be clear.

I’ll be keeping my eye on you

and if I get a sniff thatyou’ve caused her any trouble…

I understand.

Good.

Then I shall bid you goodnight.

Inspector.

I think you dropped your wallet.

You discovered the truth andjustice will be served.

You need to besatisfied with that.

I will never be satisfied ‘

cause it will notbring you back.

No.

But you did your joband you did it well.

Now word will spread that

you were involved inthis high profile case

and your reputation will grow.

I didn’t do it for that.

I know.

What have I alwayssaid about tears?

Only stupid people cry.

Hopeless people

and you are notwithout hope Lizzie,

far from it. My clever girl.

Now, dry your eyes orthere’ll be no supper.

] You always said thatand there always was.

And blow that nose,

you do not want him to seeyou in such a muddle.

Who?

So, I’ve been thinking…

Oh, dear.

That never bodes well.

Dinner.

Dinner?

I apologized toMoses as you wished

which means we can nowgo out to dinner.

You didn’t apologise,you thanked him.

Same thing.

Ready?

Now?

Why the rush?

Because if we wait we will no doubt have adisagreement about something irrelevant

and we will haveto postpone again.

So where are you taking me?

Gilberts, we can walk from here.

But you cannot just turn up atGilberts you need a reservation.

Then it’s a good jobI already have one.

And you assumed I’d say yes?

As I said I am aneternal optimist.

You are a rogue.

Let’s play a game and see if we canreach Gilberts without an argument.

It’s not me whoargues, it’s you.

You’re right the faultis always entirely mine.

I like this game,

we should play itmore often, William.

Yes, Eliza,

whatever you say.
