1
00:00:55,075 --> 00:00:56,785
Let us begin...
2
00:00:56,866 --> 00:00:58,701
...my friends...
3
00:00:59,313 --> 00:01:01,182
...at the end.
4
00:01:21,196 --> 00:01:22,733
John?
5
00:01:23,663 --> 00:01:25,209
John!
6
00:01:57,195 --> 00:01:59,017
He left nothing?
7
00:01:59,797 --> 00:02:04,484
No note? If he meant to poison himself,
why would he not at least leave a note?
8
00:02:04,564 --> 00:02:08,905
I fear that the act of burning his papers
bears testament enough to his state of mind.
9
00:02:10,629 --> 00:02:12,949
Mrs. Cree, forgive me...
10
00:02:13,029 --> 00:02:15,922
...I know this is neither
the time nor the place but...
11
00:02:16,402 --> 00:02:19,297
...may I say what an ardent
admirer I am of your work?
12
00:02:19,896 --> 00:02:21,784
I looked in the kitchen, sir.
13
00:02:22,563 --> 00:02:24,384
This was all I could find.
14
00:02:26,231 --> 00:02:30,383
I'm afraid this'll be it. There was
residue in a glass on the nightstand.
15
00:02:30,463 --> 00:02:32,350
It can't have been in there, sir.
16
00:02:32,430 --> 00:02:35,117
His nightly cordial was always
prepared by Mrs. Cree.
17
00:02:35,197 --> 00:02:36,718
Aveline.
18
00:02:37,896 --> 00:02:41,517
You... did not make the drink?
19
00:02:42,196 --> 00:02:46,317
Surely you're not asking me in earnest
if I poisoned my husband?
20
00:02:46,397 --> 00:02:49,317
Sir, believe me, she cannot have done this!
21
00:02:49,397 --> 00:02:51,803
The two of them were in a most
violent dispute yesterday!
22
00:02:51,903 --> 00:02:54,850
Why would she prepare Mr. Cree a nightcap
when they were not on speaking terms?
23
00:02:54,930 --> 00:02:57,591
Aveline, what has possessed you?
24
00:02:58,230 --> 00:03:01,113
Sir, please, allow me to explain.
25
00:03:01,193 --> 00:03:03,216
I'm sorry, Mrs. Cree.
26
00:03:03,296 --> 00:03:05,416
You'll need to do that down at Scotland Yard.
27
00:03:11,995 --> 00:03:16,651
A woman accused of poisoning her husband.
28
00:03:17,630 --> 00:03:20,126
But not just any woman...
29
00:03:22,062 --> 00:03:24,116
...little Lizzie...
30
00:03:24,196 --> 00:03:27,884
...darling of the music halls.
31
00:03:29,463 --> 00:03:31,783
But the city was in thrall...
32
00:03:31,863 --> 00:03:36,685
...with the fearsome Limehouse Golem.
33
00:03:37,813 --> 00:03:39,517
Who was he?
34
00:03:39,597 --> 00:03:42,417
Who would be his next victim?
35
00:03:43,596 --> 00:03:46,183
The Golem had last struck...
36
00:03:46,263 --> 00:03:49,351
...the day before her arrest.
37
00:03:50,330 --> 00:03:52,916
And his was the name...
38
00:03:52,996 --> 00:03:56,034
...on every Londoner's lips.
39
00:04:15,030 --> 00:04:16,917
How many are dead?
40
00:04:17,996 --> 00:04:19,571
Five.
41
00:04:19,651 --> 00:04:24,507
Shopkeeper Mr. Gerrard,
his wife Mary, their maid...
42
00:04:24,996 --> 00:04:27,449
...and the two Gerrard children.
43
00:04:29,630 --> 00:04:33,253
It's not number 29. 29 Ratcliffe Highway?
44
00:04:33,333 --> 00:04:35,820
- What of it?
- The Ratcliffe highway murders?
45
00:04:35,900 --> 00:04:39,407
- John Williams?
- It's a bit before my time.
46
00:04:39,487 --> 00:04:42,562
And mine. It was 70 years ago.
47
00:04:44,699 --> 00:04:47,487
Inspector Roberts! Can you confirm
that this is the work of the Golem?
48
00:04:47,567 --> 00:04:50,454
- What is it about this house?
- Do you think it could be cursed, sir?
49
00:04:50,534 --> 00:04:53,287
Gentlemen, gentlemen, please!
50
00:04:53,367 --> 00:04:57,986
I'd ask you to direct
your requests to my colleague...
51
00:04:58,066 --> 00:05:02,020
...Detective Inspector Kildare.
He's taking over the case.
52
00:05:02,100 --> 00:05:03,953
Kildare? How are you spelling that?
53
00:05:04,033 --> 00:05:05,353
Taking over?
54
00:05:05,433 --> 00:05:09,076
I'm just stepping aside, not stepping down.
55
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,454
The public seeks reassurance, Kildare.
56
00:05:14,534 --> 00:05:17,229
What better way than to give them new blood?
57
00:05:19,265 --> 00:05:22,252
Are you fearful of stepping into
the shoes of the great Mr. Roberts?
58
00:05:22,334 --> 00:05:25,752
How many more people have to die
before the Golem is caught?
59
00:05:25,832 --> 00:05:27,415
Driver!
60
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,036
Detective Roberts!
61
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,220
Inspector Kildare, is it true
that this is your first murder case?
62
00:05:35,300 --> 00:05:37,153
Inspector Kildare!
63
00:05:38,100 --> 00:05:39,853
Move. Move back.
64
00:05:39,933 --> 00:05:41,833
Do you know if they'll be displaying
the bodies today?
65
00:05:41,913 --> 00:05:45,420
Step aside, sir.
The maid was found over there.
66
00:05:45,500 --> 00:05:47,626
Were there footprints when you arrived?
The Golem's prints?
67
00:05:47,706 --> 00:05:50,487
- Half of Limehouse was already here.
- Which of the victims was found there?
68
00:05:50,567 --> 00:05:53,971
None. The Golem moved that one himself.
Either Mr. or Mrs. Gerrard.
69
00:05:54,051 --> 00:05:57,020
More likely him. If the maid was killed
first, he'd investigate the disturbance.
70
00:05:57,100 --> 00:05:59,287
- Where is her body now?
- We took her upstairs, sir.
71
00:05:59,367 --> 00:06:01,460
At least up there we can
keep the hoi poloi out.
72
00:06:01,540 --> 00:06:03,950
- Down here is a lost cause.
- They can't all be reporters.
73
00:06:04,030 --> 00:06:08,619
No. Locals looking for entertainment.
Cheaper than a ticket to a shocker.
74
00:06:08,699 --> 00:06:12,223
Sometimes I suspect if I was dispatched
to hell, I'd barely notice the change...
75
00:06:12,303 --> 00:06:14,966
...bar the weather.
This is Inspector Kildare.
76
00:06:15,046 --> 00:06:17,367
- Taking over from Roberts.
- Sir.
77
00:06:18,566 --> 00:06:22,629
Can you tell this idiot to let me up?
I'm with the Evening Post!
78
00:06:32,566 --> 00:06:34,595
This is the maid?
79
00:06:43,299 --> 00:06:45,120
I'm sorry.
80
00:06:45,500 --> 00:06:47,795
I've never seen anything of this kind.
81
00:06:49,532 --> 00:06:51,561
Neither have I.
82
00:07:33,699 --> 00:07:35,925
"He who observes...
83
00:07:36,005 --> 00:07:40,153
...spills no less blood
than he who inflicts the blow."
84
00:07:40,233 --> 00:07:42,120
Lactantius.
85
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,021
Impressive, sir.
86
00:07:45,300 --> 00:07:47,887
The truth has a habit
of sticking in the mind.
87
00:07:48,117 --> 00:07:49,639
Truth?
88
00:07:52,017 --> 00:07:56,479
Those who fail to prevent injustice
are as guilty as the perpetrator.
89
00:07:57,700 --> 00:07:59,248
It's a message...
90
00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:02,262
...to us.
91
00:08:08,396 --> 00:08:11,653
Evidence... John Cree case.
92
00:08:11,933 --> 00:08:14,887
- The poisoning.
- You've had quite a week.
93
00:08:14,967 --> 00:08:17,429
First the Limehouse Golem, now this.
94
00:08:21,532 --> 00:08:24,287
I heard Inspector Kildare
was asking after you.
95
00:08:24,367 --> 00:08:28,220
Yes. I don't know what he wanted.
I keep missing him.
96
00:08:28,300 --> 00:08:31,720
Well, they did right giving him
the Golem case, I reckon.
97
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:36,987
He'd have risen well above Roberts by now
if those rumors hadn't done for him.
98
00:08:37,067 --> 00:08:40,419
You know. That he wasn't the marrying kind...
99
00:08:43,366 --> 00:08:44,669
...men.
100
00:08:46,165 --> 00:08:49,602
It's before your time, I suppose.
101
00:08:57,899 --> 00:08:59,339
Come in.
102
00:09:01,267 --> 00:09:05,321
- I got your message, sir.
- I'm being assigned a constable.
103
00:09:05,401 --> 00:09:08,620
I thought someone of your knowledge
of Limehouse might be an asset.
104
00:09:08,700 --> 00:09:11,220
When I heard nothing back, I thought
perhaps the offer didn't appeal.
105
00:09:11,300 --> 00:09:14,020
I came by twice, sir. You were out.
106
00:09:14,100 --> 00:09:17,137
I was at Limehouse. Appealing for witnesses.
107
00:09:17,217 --> 00:09:19,096
To no avail.
108
00:09:24,682 --> 00:09:28,037
- What are you looking for?
- I'm just looking. Trying to understand.
109
00:09:28,117 --> 00:09:30,970
The Golem's a madman.
What else is there to be understood?
110
00:09:31,050 --> 00:09:34,603
Even madness has its own logic.
Here there's none.
111
00:09:34,683 --> 00:09:37,170
At Ratcliffe Highway,
he slaughtered a household.
112
00:09:37,250 --> 00:09:41,303
The previous week, a prostitute.
Alice Stanton. Before that, Solomon Weil.
113
00:09:41,383 --> 00:09:44,246
He was an old man, a scholar.
114
00:09:46,682 --> 00:09:48,536
Oh, my God.
115
00:09:48,616 --> 00:09:51,304
- Is that his...
- Yes.
116
00:09:51,383 --> 00:09:54,673
Laid upon the open pages
of a book on Jewish folklore...
117
00:09:54,753 --> 00:09:56,754
...like a bookmark.
118
00:09:57,983 --> 00:10:01,770
"The Legend of the Golem."
Is that how the press got the name?
119
00:10:01,850 --> 00:10:04,973
- Our murderer obviously approved.
- And who were the first two?
120
00:10:05,053 --> 00:10:08,403
Both women of the streets.
I do remember reading of that one.
121
00:10:08,483 --> 00:10:12,338
- "Old Salty."
- Her name was Jane Quig.
122
00:10:13,217 --> 00:10:15,903
The point is there's no story to any of them.
123
00:10:15,983 --> 00:10:19,337
Men, women, young, old.
Jew and Christian. Rich and poor.
124
00:10:19,416 --> 00:10:22,271
- Perhaps he just likes to kill.
- No.
125
00:10:22,750 --> 00:10:25,536
I'll wager there's a tale being told.
126
00:10:25,616 --> 00:10:29,627
If we can sink to his circle
of damnation to comprehend it.
127
00:10:31,083 --> 00:10:34,663
If I may say, sir, seems you've been
wasted down in theft-and-fraud.
128
00:10:34,763 --> 00:10:38,758
I'll be back there soon enough, if the Golem
strikes again. That seems to be the plan.
129
00:10:38,838 --> 00:10:42,170
- What do you mean?
- The yard is setting me up as a scapegoat.
130
00:10:42,250 --> 00:10:45,670
They'll not risk Roberts,
will they? I'm expendable.
131
00:10:45,750 --> 00:10:49,793
They get to preserve the reputation
of their golden boy and the public...
132
00:10:51,983 --> 00:10:54,870
- ...get blood.
- Well, as I said back in Limehouse...
133
00:10:54,950 --> 00:10:57,503
...seems they never have their fill of that.
134
00:10:57,583 --> 00:11:00,170
"He who spectates." He doesn't mean us.
135
00:11:00,250 --> 00:11:05,503
He means the public. The public
want blood. The Golem provides it.
136
00:11:05,583 --> 00:11:08,636
Yes! I'm sure that must be it, sir.
137
00:11:08,716 --> 00:11:11,188
Are you? I'm not.
138
00:11:12,416 --> 00:11:15,675
Do you feel like a walk... to the library?
139
00:11:26,514 --> 00:11:29,439
That quotation. About the gladiatorial ring?
140
00:11:29,519 --> 00:11:33,370
The guilt of the audience who seek bloodshed?
Well, perhaps you read it elsewhere.
141
00:11:33,450 --> 00:11:36,670
It's quoted in an old piece
by the essayist Thomas de Quincey.
142
00:11:36,750 --> 00:11:39,199
One I imagine might be of interest
to a man in your line of work.
143
00:11:39,278 --> 00:11:41,245
- What's the piece?
- "On murder considered...
144
00:11:41,324 --> 00:11:46,180
...as one of the fine arts." A satire about
the Ratcliffe Highway killings of 1811.
145
00:11:48,682 --> 00:11:51,237
Should we talk with this de Quincey?
146
00:11:51,316 --> 00:11:55,146
He has been dead for 20 years,
Flood, so it might be a bit...
147
00:12:04,815 --> 00:12:06,830
What is it?
148
00:12:11,117 --> 00:12:14,361
Left to rot. To kill a whore.
149
00:12:39,315 --> 00:12:41,037
Who last borrowed this book?
150
00:12:41,117 --> 00:12:43,703
This is a reading room, Inspector,
not a local library.
151
00:12:43,783 --> 00:12:46,970
So nothing leaves the premises?
Do you keep an attendance record?
152
00:12:47,050 --> 00:12:50,737
Of course, but there's no way of knowing
what anyone read or when they read it.
153
00:12:50,817 --> 00:12:53,645
Who was here on September the 24th?
154
00:12:56,849 --> 00:12:59,137
There were four men
in the reading room that day. Why?
155
00:12:59,216 --> 00:13:02,370
It's the final entry in a diary someone
has kept in the pages of this book.
156
00:13:02,450 --> 00:13:04,496
- Were you here yourself?
- I'm here every day.
157
00:13:04,576 --> 00:13:06,553
Then I must ask you for
a sample of your handwriting.
158
00:13:06,653 --> 00:13:10,096
I'll need the same from all the staff.
And those four names, please?
159
00:13:11,015 --> 00:13:12,336
The Dan Leno?
160
00:13:12,416 --> 00:13:15,436
And the Karl Marx and George Gissing.
161
00:13:15,516 --> 00:13:17,900
If you're a follower
of philosophy and literature.
162
00:13:17,980 --> 00:13:20,203
What do you know of John Cree?
163
00:13:21,083 --> 00:13:22,637
Sir?
164
00:13:23,017 --> 00:13:25,824
If he's the same John Cree I'm thinking of...
165
00:13:26,850 --> 00:13:28,445
...I believe he's dead.
166
00:13:33,715 --> 00:13:36,302
Place the diary in my files. Keep it safe.
167
00:13:36,382 --> 00:13:40,369
Find out all you can about George Gissing,
Karl Marx, and Dan Leno.
168
00:13:40,449 --> 00:13:43,202
- Where are you going?
- To investigate the dead man.
169
00:13:43,282 --> 00:13:46,578
If he was the Golem,
London's troubles are over.
170
00:13:51,982 --> 00:13:57,103
And you describe your husband
as being in a state of despair...
171
00:13:57,182 --> 00:14:00,503
...in the weeks leading to his death, yes?
172
00:14:00,583 --> 00:14:03,352
My husband had spent several years
writing a play, Your Honor.
173
00:14:03,432 --> 00:14:05,686
Entitled "Misery Junction."
174
00:14:05,766 --> 00:14:07,970
It was not a success.
175
00:14:08,349 --> 00:14:10,136
I believe he never recovered from that.
176
00:14:10,216 --> 00:14:14,703
And yet he continued to pass
each day in the reading room...
177
00:14:14,783 --> 00:14:18,136
...at the British museum,
reading and writing.
178
00:14:18,216 --> 00:14:20,536
A change in mood and a change
in habit are two different things.
179
00:14:20,616 --> 00:14:25,111
On the day of his death,
the librarian described your husband...
180
00:14:25,191 --> 00:14:28,353
...as being in good spirits.
181
00:14:28,483 --> 00:14:31,336
My husband was adept at presenting
a false face to the world, sir.
182
00:14:31,416 --> 00:14:35,603
And that is something you would understand...
183
00:14:35,683 --> 00:14:38,936
...is it not, Mrs. Cree?
184
00:14:39,016 --> 00:14:40,837
Playing...
185
00:14:41,516 --> 00:14:43,278
...a role?
186
00:14:45,016 --> 00:14:47,403
I used to be a music hall performer,
if that's what you mean.
187
00:14:47,483 --> 00:14:49,970
And what of the role you play
today before this court?
188
00:14:50,050 --> 00:14:54,503
That of a respectable, educated lady.
189
00:14:55,082 --> 00:14:58,370
You were born out of wedlock, were you not?
190
00:14:59,050 --> 00:15:00,903
Yes, sir.
191
00:15:01,182 --> 00:15:05,403
As a child, you stitched sailcloth...
192
00:15:06,082 --> 00:15:10,520
...and passed much time with men.
193
00:15:12,950 --> 00:15:17,119
I can assure you I was
a God-fearing child. An innocent.
194
00:15:17,199 --> 00:15:20,803
I was tasked by my mother
to deliver our sails to the docks.
195
00:15:20,883 --> 00:15:23,436
Encountering men was not something
I could hope to avoid.
196
00:15:23,516 --> 00:15:26,136
- Here you go, good as new.
- Carry that all the way?
197
00:15:26,216 --> 00:15:27,837
Look at your poor hands, Lizzie.
198
00:15:27,917 --> 00:15:30,036
Me ma says I'm made
for the bloodtubs with these hands.
199
00:15:30,115 --> 00:15:34,166
Don't you dare run off and join the theater.
These sails ain't gonna mend themselves.
200
00:15:34,246 --> 00:15:37,930
I like the comics. Charlie's gonna
take me to see Dan Leno one day.
201
00:15:38,010 --> 00:15:40,411
Aren't you, Charlie, when I'm older?
202
00:15:52,990 --> 00:15:56,186
Dan Leno was never that blue.
Did Charlie teach you that?
203
00:15:56,266 --> 00:15:58,736
Just don't let your ma hear it.
She'll kill ya.
204
00:15:58,816 --> 00:16:00,857
What's it mean?
205
00:16:01,716 --> 00:16:03,770
If you want, I'll show you.
206
00:16:03,850 --> 00:16:07,348
Me mum will be wanting me home,
if you'll give me our pay.
207
00:16:08,249 --> 00:16:10,279
Money's in my hut.
208
00:16:23,382 --> 00:16:25,412
What took you so long?
209
00:16:33,815 --> 00:16:35,814
Has a man laid hands on you?
210
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,503
You liar.
211
00:16:38,583 --> 00:16:40,256
I fell.
212
00:16:40,336 --> 00:16:42,238
Come here.
213
00:16:44,516 --> 00:16:47,770
- What did I do wrong?
- Mother, no, please.
214
00:16:47,850 --> 00:16:51,738
- Did I not teach you well enough?
- No, I beg you!
215
00:16:53,116 --> 00:16:54,572
Come here.
216
00:17:00,048 --> 00:17:02,036
You want me to go to heaven, don't you?
217
00:17:02,116 --> 00:17:04,415
That place will keep you from heaven, Lizzie.
218
00:17:11,933 --> 00:17:14,394
That is enough, Mrs. Cree!
219
00:17:18,566 --> 00:17:21,078
Court is adjourned for lunch!
220
00:17:28,981 --> 00:17:32,293
Anyone come by from The Era newspaper?
I'm expecting a package.
221
00:17:32,373 --> 00:17:34,187
No package.
222
00:17:35,116 --> 00:17:36,978
Just this.
223
00:17:42,948 --> 00:17:44,816
John Cree.
224
00:17:48,248 --> 00:17:52,682
No luck getting a sample of Cree's handwriting
from his old employers, I'm afraid, sir.
225
00:17:53,049 --> 00:17:55,470
They don't keep reporters' submissions.
226
00:17:55,949 --> 00:17:57,670
Had a more recent portrait, though.
227
00:17:57,750 --> 00:18:00,369
And I've asked archives for all
the files on Gissing and Marx.
228
00:18:00,449 --> 00:18:03,312
Very good. See if they have anything on Leno.
229
00:18:19,682 --> 00:18:22,737
September the 5th, 1880.
230
00:18:23,016 --> 00:18:25,202
It was a fine bright evening...
231
00:18:25,282 --> 00:18:28,082
...and I could feel a murder coming on.
232
00:18:28,582 --> 00:18:30,936
Since it was to be my first show...
233
00:18:31,016 --> 00:18:34,670
...I decided by way of inspiration
to pay a visit to the site...
234
00:18:34,750 --> 00:18:37,603
...of the immortal Ratcliffe Highway murders.
235
00:18:37,882 --> 00:18:40,469
More than half a century ago
on this sacred spot...
236
00:18:40,549 --> 00:18:43,536
...an entire family
was dispatched into eternity...
237
00:18:43,616 --> 00:18:45,736
...by a man named John Williams...
238
00:18:46,015 --> 00:18:50,486
...a man Thomas de Quincey described
as an artist of exquisite skill.
239
00:18:50,566 --> 00:18:53,603
And yet now the site
of his greatest work was defiled...
240
00:18:53,683 --> 00:18:56,202
...by a seller of secondhand clothes.
241
00:18:56,282 --> 00:18:59,100
We're closed, I'm afraid, sir.
242
00:18:59,816 --> 00:19:03,369
Oh, sorry. The door was open.
243
00:19:03,449 --> 00:19:06,538
No matter. I'll be sure to return.
244
00:19:08,216 --> 00:19:11,374
But I was a beginner, an understudy.
245
00:19:11,454 --> 00:19:14,478
Not yet ready for the great stage.
246
00:19:26,981 --> 00:19:29,936
An artist must perfect his craft...
247
00:19:30,016 --> 00:19:34,269
...and tonight I would start
with a small, private rehearsal.
248
00:19:34,349 --> 00:19:37,052
- Gin?
- Don't you think you've had enough?
249
00:19:37,132 --> 00:19:39,102
I want you awake.
250
00:19:39,182 --> 00:19:41,412
Or else you'll miss all the fun.
251
00:20:03,271 --> 00:20:07,822
I felt that she suspected my game from
the start and offered herself willingly...
252
00:20:07,902 --> 00:20:10,446
...warm in the knowledge that
the world would soon be forced...
253
00:20:10,526 --> 00:20:12,679
...to confront the plight of her kind.
254
00:20:20,849 --> 00:20:24,336
I took out her eyes in case my image
had been imprinted upon them...
255
00:20:24,416 --> 00:20:28,302
...and washed the blood from my hands
with the gin in her chamber pot.
256
00:20:28,382 --> 00:20:30,673
My first performance...
257
00:20:31,117 --> 00:20:32,854
...was complete.
258
00:20:53,415 --> 00:20:57,412
Mrs. Cree? I'm Inspector Kildare
of Scotland Yard.
259
00:20:58,449 --> 00:21:01,061
I suppose you're here to chastise me
for my candor in court.
260
00:21:01,141 --> 00:21:03,440
On the contrary, I applaud you for it.
261
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,636
It's all too easy to imagine that those
who have enjoyed success...
262
00:21:06,715 --> 00:21:09,003
...have never known suffering.
263
00:21:09,383 --> 00:21:12,503
Well, to quote the great
Dan Leno, "Here we are again."
264
00:21:12,583 --> 00:21:16,470
I'm afraid I'm not a frequenter
of the music halls.
265
00:21:16,550 --> 00:21:20,616
He portrays the suffering of women.
My gender becomes inured to injustice.
266
00:21:20,695 --> 00:21:24,789
We expect it. Until we can
greet it merely with a shrug.
267
00:21:25,848 --> 00:21:27,769
I understood he was a comic.
268
00:21:27,849 --> 00:21:30,525
The line between comedy
and tragedy is a fine one.
269
00:21:32,383 --> 00:21:34,562
You haven't told me why you're here.
270
00:21:38,381 --> 00:21:42,122
I wish to put it to you that I know
why you might have had good reason...
271
00:21:42,202 --> 00:21:45,403
- ...to poison your husband.
- Please, sir, I'm hoarse from repetition.
272
00:21:45,483 --> 00:21:47,636
There will be no confession.
My plea has been made.
273
00:21:47,715 --> 00:21:50,836
Mrs. Cree, I'm not assigned to your case.
274
00:21:50,916 --> 00:21:55,503
I'm here because your husband
is a suspect in another matter.
275
00:21:55,583 --> 00:21:57,441
What matter?
276
00:21:59,832 --> 00:22:02,269
A journal has been found.
277
00:22:02,349 --> 00:22:06,570
I'd like to compare the handwriting with his.
Might you have anything that he wrote?
278
00:22:06,649 --> 00:22:08,540
- His papers...
- He burned them, yes.
279
00:22:08,620 --> 00:22:13,236
Mrs. Cree, if your husband were
found to have committed murder...
280
00:22:13,715 --> 00:22:16,256
...your claims of suicide gain weight.
281
00:22:16,336 --> 00:22:19,069
- Do you understand? You could go free.
- Murder?
282
00:22:19,149 --> 00:22:23,236
I'm investigating a series of deaths.
They're calling them the "Limehouse Golem...
283
00:22:23,316 --> 00:22:25,835
You can't honestly think my husband
capable of such things?
284
00:22:25,915 --> 00:22:28,635
It's not my place to have an opinion.
285
00:22:28,715 --> 00:22:30,769
I just follow the threads.
286
00:22:30,849 --> 00:22:33,369
The newspaper said
it was your first murder case.
287
00:22:33,449 --> 00:22:36,472
- That's a rotten kind of chance to be given.
- Excuse me?
288
00:22:38,949 --> 00:22:41,603
I wanted to be a serious actress, you know.
289
00:22:41,682 --> 00:22:45,744
Had my chance once, too.
They don't give you another.
290
00:22:48,881 --> 00:22:50,836
That's why I'd like to help you.
291
00:22:51,915 --> 00:22:56,103
- You needn't feign interest in me.
- There's nothing feigned about it.
292
00:22:56,982 --> 00:23:00,802
Raised in cruelty and yet
you stood tall and thrived.
293
00:23:00,882 --> 00:23:02,437
That's...
294
00:23:03,316 --> 00:23:04,678
...uncommon.
295
00:23:09,081 --> 00:23:12,125
My mother did me
the great service of dying young.
296
00:23:16,215 --> 00:23:18,375
I was raised in the music halls.
297
00:24:13,216 --> 00:24:16,278
- You want to buy some sweets, miss?
- Hey, get out of here.
298
00:24:26,415 --> 00:24:28,102
What?
299
00:24:28,182 --> 00:24:31,278
- What a play.
- It was.
300
00:24:45,381 --> 00:24:48,382
It's halfway over, love. Come back tomorrow.
301
00:24:50,515 --> 00:24:54,386
All right. Go on in.
You can still catch Leno if you're quick.
302
00:24:54,466 --> 00:24:56,345
God bless.
303
00:25:30,014 --> 00:25:32,077
All right, there we go!
304
00:25:35,214 --> 00:25:36,809
What fine manners.
305
00:25:36,889 --> 00:25:40,602
Such fine manners!
I feel as if I'm at a tea party.
306
00:25:41,481 --> 00:25:45,299
Please note the oxtail
in the jelly tonight is three pence.
307
00:25:45,379 --> 00:25:47,936
- Now without any further ado...
- That's for later.
308
00:25:48,016 --> 00:25:50,708
...may I introduce the man of the hour...
309
00:25:50,788 --> 00:25:54,364
...Mr. Dan Leno!
310
00:26:02,614 --> 00:26:05,145
Here we are again!
311
00:26:11,948 --> 00:26:15,713
I burnt both my hands while a-trying
312
00:26:15,793 --> 00:26:18,907
To cook my old man's mutton broth
313
00:26:18,987 --> 00:26:23,598
My fat, boss-eyed baby was crying
314
00:26:26,393 --> 00:26:29,647
I believe she's a little bit off
315
00:26:30,414 --> 00:26:34,497
- Mummy!
- The meat all got burnt to a cinder
316
00:26:34,577 --> 00:26:37,696
Which made my old man very wild
317
00:26:37,776 --> 00:26:41,691
Then he threw the whole lot
through the winder
318
00:26:41,771 --> 00:26:45,380
And smashed me on the nose with the child
319
00:26:50,239 --> 00:26:53,440
And the child began a-screaming
320
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,580
As it never screamed before
321
00:26:56,660 --> 00:27:01,284
While my nose with claret was streaming
322
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:07,438
He tried to dislocate my jaw
323
00:27:09,437 --> 00:27:13,423
He kicked me and punched me this morning
324
00:27:13,503 --> 00:27:16,155
And made my poor face such a fright
325
00:27:16,235 --> 00:27:19,911
He blacked both my eyes without warning
326
00:27:19,991 --> 00:27:25,317
But I'm waiting for him tonight
327
00:27:25,396 --> 00:27:29,690
He kicked me and punched me this morning
328
00:27:29,770 --> 00:27:32,899
And made my poor face such a fright
329
00:27:32,979 --> 00:27:36,452
He blacked both my eyes without warning
330
00:27:36,742 --> 00:27:42,233
But I'm waiting for him tonight
331
00:27:49,814 --> 00:27:51,378
More!
332
00:27:58,748 --> 00:28:02,101
Pies, pies, pies, pies.
All in dire need of pies.
333
00:28:02,181 --> 00:28:04,936
I'll tell you what, dearie. Seeing
as you're here again, be a good girl.
334
00:28:05,016 --> 00:28:06,922
Give Uncle a hand.
335
00:28:07,002 --> 00:28:09,418
Be careful with that. All too good to drop.
336
00:28:09,498 --> 00:28:11,944
As the pregnant woman said to the midwife!
337
00:28:14,281 --> 00:28:18,197
Here you are, Vic. A little bit
of what you fancy. John John.
338
00:28:19,815 --> 00:28:23,169
Aveline, dear, nice and hot,
just as you like it.
339
00:28:23,249 --> 00:28:25,320
But not quite so big.
340
00:28:27,381 --> 00:28:29,277
Thanks, Uncle.
341
00:28:42,947 --> 00:28:45,301
Last one's for you, Mr. Leno.
342
00:28:45,381 --> 00:28:47,401
Mr. Leno, is it?
343
00:28:47,481 --> 00:28:52,301
Did you find her at the grocers, Uncle?
She's certainly a green one.
344
00:28:52,381 --> 00:28:54,388
Now, now, girls.
345
00:28:56,415 --> 00:28:59,035
- What's your name?
- Lizzie, sir.
346
00:28:59,115 --> 00:29:00,969
Lambeth Marsh Lizzie.
347
00:29:01,049 --> 00:29:03,695
I thought I could smell marsh gas.
348
00:29:03,775 --> 00:29:07,836
Don't let 'em dumb you.
It's just their way. And call me Dan.
349
00:29:08,615 --> 00:29:13,069
This is Tommy Farr, theater manager
and keeper of the Bunce.
350
00:29:13,149 --> 00:29:16,211
Speaking of which, we owe you
something for your trouble.
351
00:29:20,815 --> 00:29:24,452
What in God's name did they have you
doing down there in those marshes?
352
00:29:26,448 --> 00:29:28,335
Digging graves.
353
00:29:28,415 --> 00:29:32,063
Five years it was before I found out
you're supposed to use a shovel.
354
00:29:32,782 --> 00:29:35,602
I like this one. Can you read?
355
00:29:35,682 --> 00:29:38,544
- Like a native.
- Here.
356
00:29:44,081 --> 00:29:48,135
"What's fame?
A fancy'd life in other's breath.
357
00:29:48,214 --> 00:29:51,169
A thing beyond us, even before our death.
358
00:29:51,248 --> 00:29:56,736
All we feel of it begins and ends in
the small circle of our foes and friends."
359
00:29:57,415 --> 00:29:59,342
That's my favorite line.
360
00:29:59,782 --> 00:30:01,603
Alexander Pope.
361
00:30:03,381 --> 00:30:05,369
- Are you looking for work, Lizzie?
- Yeah.
362
00:30:05,449 --> 00:30:09,935
Only, our prompter ran off with a lion
comique. And it won't all be lavender.
363
00:30:10,015 --> 00:30:12,368
There'll be some fetch and carry,
but there's decent Bunce...
364
00:30:12,448 --> 00:30:14,460
...and room in the digs with the dancers.
365
00:30:16,748 --> 00:30:18,103
What do you say?
366
00:30:19,381 --> 00:30:25,368
How would you describe
your relationship with Dan Leno?
367
00:30:25,448 --> 00:30:27,401
We were friends, sir.
368
00:30:27,481 --> 00:30:31,126
And he was my mentor.
He took me under his wing.
369
00:30:31,205 --> 00:30:33,244
"No, Mrs. Killian"...
370
00:30:36,448 --> 00:30:39,702
Where did you learn to read
and write if you didn't go to school?
371
00:30:40,181 --> 00:30:43,591
My mother's Bible, I suppose.
372
00:30:45,381 --> 00:30:47,392
Oh, and speaking of books...
373
00:30:48,448 --> 00:30:51,298
- Oi. Thank you.
- What?
374
00:30:51,748 --> 00:30:55,210
Finished already?
That's the second this week.
375
00:30:57,180 --> 00:30:59,635
I think books might be my first love.
376
00:30:59,715 --> 00:31:03,136
And I've always heard it said
that first love is insatiable.
377
00:31:04,215 --> 00:31:08,725
Sod writing new gags, they can have
the milkmaid again tonight and like it.
378
00:31:09,015 --> 00:31:10,743
I want to show you something.
379
00:31:12,281 --> 00:31:14,417
- Where are we going?
- You'll see.
380
00:31:18,081 --> 00:31:19,969
A whole room?
381
00:31:20,248 --> 00:31:22,101
Full of books?
382
00:31:22,581 --> 00:31:24,677
Every inch of it.
383
00:31:27,247 --> 00:31:28,635
People come here just to read?
384
00:31:28,715 --> 00:31:32,335
To read. To learn. To create.
385
00:31:32,615 --> 00:31:35,535
It's like... a great furnace.
386
00:31:35,615 --> 00:31:38,902
I mean, the future is being forged here.
387
00:31:38,982 --> 00:31:42,962
Writers, philosophers, men of science.
388
00:31:43,042 --> 00:31:45,969
All the way down to lowly clowns like me.
389
00:31:46,049 --> 00:31:48,169
The ladies' table is upstairs.
390
00:31:49,548 --> 00:31:52,368
Thanking you kindly, good sir.
391
00:31:52,448 --> 00:31:54,802
You were never more than friends?
392
00:31:54,882 --> 00:31:58,386
No, sir. I believe he felt protective of me.
393
00:31:59,882 --> 00:32:04,368
The prosecution wishes to remind the court
that Mr. Leno was recently questioned...
394
00:32:04,448 --> 00:32:08,168
...in connection with
the "Limehouse Golem" murders.
395
00:32:08,248 --> 00:32:09,964
Objection, Your Honor!
396
00:32:10,049 --> 00:32:12,264
Order, order!
397
00:32:15,982 --> 00:32:17,635
Inspector Kildare!
398
00:32:17,715 --> 00:32:19,344
Kildare!
399
00:32:28,948 --> 00:32:32,802
Why was I not aware
that Dan Leno was previously a suspect?
400
00:32:32,882 --> 00:32:36,438
You tell me, Kildare.
It was in every daily newspaper.
401
00:32:36,518 --> 00:32:39,135
But not in the brief you gave me.
402
00:32:39,215 --> 00:32:43,002
Well, he was eliminated from inquiries.
The report's on my desk somewhere.
403
00:32:43,081 --> 00:32:45,903
You didn't think to place it in your files?
404
00:32:46,682 --> 00:32:49,581
The streets of London run red with blood...
405
00:32:49,661 --> 00:32:52,142
...and you concern yourself with paperwork?
406
00:32:53,815 --> 00:32:56,535
You'd have made a fine politician, Kildare...
407
00:32:56,615 --> 00:32:58,783
...were you not the topic of such...
408
00:32:59,682 --> 00:33:01,244
...speculation.
409
00:33:06,548 --> 00:33:10,501
I wouldn't read that.
Disgraceful lies, all of it.
410
00:33:10,581 --> 00:33:14,605
The poor woman spoke of misfortune and
cruelty and they've turned it upon her.
411
00:33:14,685 --> 00:33:16,864
Makes my blood boil.
412
00:33:18,749 --> 00:33:21,268
Seems your beloved Leno
wasn't actually a suspect.
413
00:33:21,348 --> 00:33:24,355
My beloved? What man doesn't enjoy Dan Leno?
414
00:33:24,435 --> 00:33:26,669
One who doesn't care for the music halls?
415
00:33:26,749 --> 00:33:30,301
Well, I'll venture to say
you've not seen the right shows, sir.
416
00:33:30,381 --> 00:33:32,168
If you ever wish for a recommendation...
417
00:33:32,248 --> 00:33:36,418
He was questioned in regard
to Alice Stanton's gown.
418
00:33:36,498 --> 00:33:39,735
A label sewn into it identified it as his...
419
00:33:39,815 --> 00:33:42,235
- ...a stage costume.
- So he knew her?
420
00:33:42,315 --> 00:33:45,902
"Leno stated that the dress was part
of a consignment of stage costumes...
421
00:33:45,981 --> 00:33:48,825
...he'd sold a year earlier to
a purveyor of secondhand clothes."
422
00:33:48,905 --> 00:33:52,068
- And he provided a receipt which proved it.
- Then it was merely a coincidence.
423
00:33:52,148 --> 00:33:53,519
Perhaps.
424
00:33:54,288 --> 00:33:58,901
As is perhaps the fact that
the purveyor of secondhand clothes...
425
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,529
...was the late Mr. Gerrard...
426
00:34:01,609 --> 00:34:04,702
- ...murdered at Ratcliffe Highway.
- We should get a sample of his hand.
427
00:34:04,782 --> 00:34:07,301
Quite. And can we find out
what's happened to that dress?
428
00:34:07,381 --> 00:34:10,374
- It wasn't with the rest of the evidence.
- I'll look into it, sir.
429
00:34:20,930 --> 00:34:22,968
Why didn't you tell me
you questioned Dan Leno?
430
00:34:23,048 --> 00:34:25,835
- I haven't. Though I shall have to.
- In court they said you had.
431
00:34:25,914 --> 00:34:28,802
Not me. Before I joined the case.
432
00:34:29,781 --> 00:34:32,269
So is he a suspect or not?
433
00:34:33,248 --> 00:34:35,968
- Do you think he should be?
- Please don't play games with me.
434
00:34:36,048 --> 00:34:39,565
I have no desire to.
The Golem is still at large.
435
00:34:39,645 --> 00:34:42,877
Wasting my time could cost lives.
436
00:34:47,648 --> 00:34:49,866
Unless you are correct about my husband.
437
00:34:49,945 --> 00:34:52,744
If the Golem is no more,
then none are at risk.
438
00:34:54,614 --> 00:34:56,985
Besides yours...
439
00:34:57,065 --> 00:35:00,145
...you needn't hang, Mrs. Cree.
440
00:35:02,431 --> 00:35:04,315
Please call me Lizzie.
441
00:35:06,048 --> 00:35:09,968
- Just assist me in assisting you.
- I can't tell you what I don't know.
442
00:35:10,048 --> 00:35:13,354
All I ask is that you tell me what you do.
443
00:35:15,714 --> 00:35:17,301
Where should I start?
444
00:35:17,381 --> 00:35:21,611
How you came to know John Cree, perhaps.
445
00:35:23,514 --> 00:35:27,201
Jim is very partial to me!
Though never a word has he said.
446
00:35:27,281 --> 00:35:31,041
Right now he's lodging with Mrs. Kelly.
Do you know Mrs. Kelly?
447
00:35:31,121 --> 00:35:35,068
Don't you know Mrs. Kelly?
Good life-a-mighty, don't look so simple.
448
00:35:35,148 --> 00:35:37,401
Everybody knows Mrs. Kelly.
449
00:35:37,481 --> 00:35:40,035
- Am I going too fast for you, love?
- You spoof it, I'll write it.
450
00:35:40,115 --> 00:35:43,035
She's a mean one, Mrs. Kelly.
She'll buy half a dozen oysters...
451
00:35:43,115 --> 00:35:46,401
...and eat them in front of a mirror
to make them look like a dozen.
452
00:35:46,481 --> 00:35:48,335
What about...
453
00:35:49,114 --> 00:35:52,569
"I saw her take a coin from her purse
the other day, and I swear...
454
00:35:52,649 --> 00:35:56,077
...I saw Queen Victoria blinking
at the sight of sunlight"?
455
00:35:57,981 --> 00:36:00,531
Are those petticoats ironed yet?
456
00:36:00,611 --> 00:36:05,045
Good. Then you can come
over here and lace me up.
457
00:36:10,281 --> 00:36:12,769
- Fuck off, Victor.
- Come on, dear.
458
00:36:12,848 --> 00:36:16,148
You know I can't see from the back row,
and I do so love a double act.
459
00:36:16,228 --> 00:36:20,058
- Victor, out, out! Come on.
- Just a joke, Dan.
460
00:36:20,748 --> 00:36:22,835
Get that, will you, Lizzie.
461
00:36:22,915 --> 00:36:25,344
That'll be the reporter for my interview.
462
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,101
- You're new.
- Lizzie. Seen you before, haven't I?
463
00:36:31,681 --> 00:36:34,702
- You work for the Era.
- I'm a playwright, but yes, indeed...
464
00:36:34,781 --> 00:36:38,583
...the Era puts food on my table. For now.
465
00:36:40,181 --> 00:36:41,968
John Cree.
466
00:36:42,048 --> 00:36:43,969
You got to sweep it.
467
00:36:45,148 --> 00:36:47,649
- Shall we?
- Can you help me dress, love?
468
00:36:49,248 --> 00:36:51,544
Threw me out the window.
469
00:36:53,481 --> 00:36:55,935
- The usual for everyone?
- Oh, yes, please, darling.
470
00:36:56,015 --> 00:36:58,255
- What about you, dear?
- A baked potato.
471
00:36:58,336 --> 00:37:02,235
You don't fancy a bit of meat tonight,
Lizzie? What's the matter, Dan?
472
00:37:02,315 --> 00:37:04,669
- She must be over 16.
- No, I mustn't.
473
00:37:04,748 --> 00:37:08,468
So, Lizzie, what's your act? Do tell.
474
00:37:08,947 --> 00:37:12,002
It's called "Little Lizzie the Dogsbody."
475
00:37:12,082 --> 00:37:16,068
Yeah, I do all manner of gags
with an iron and a pile of dirty smalls.
476
00:37:16,148 --> 00:37:19,135
- Oh, that sounds extraordinary.
- It is.
477
00:37:19,215 --> 00:37:22,615
She's dumbing you, John.
She means she's the prompt.
478
00:37:22,695 --> 00:37:25,165
I was only saying earlier
you might make a good gagger.
479
00:37:25,245 --> 00:37:27,935
- She's got the dial for it, hasn't she, Uncle?
- Say that again.
480
00:37:28,015 --> 00:37:31,301
She's got the dial for it, hasn't she, Uncle?
481
00:37:31,381 --> 00:37:32,469
Oh, thank you.
482
00:37:32,549 --> 00:37:36,235
I don't know where you put it all, Victor.
You must have hollow legs.
483
00:37:36,315 --> 00:37:38,935
I can hold as much as the next man,
thank you very much.
484
00:37:39,015 --> 00:37:41,015
Pour a quart in a pint pot,
you'll make a mess.
485
00:37:41,095 --> 00:37:45,335
Nonsense. I'm as right as rain. Can't
keep a good man down, as they say...
486
00:37:45,415 --> 00:37:48,143
...but I know where
you can put a good man up.
487
00:37:49,181 --> 00:37:52,335
- What in God's name is going on?
- Nothing.
488
00:37:52,415 --> 00:37:56,469
Lizzie stepped on my foot
by mistake. No harm done.
489
00:37:57,448 --> 00:37:59,537
I'm taking Lizzie home.
490
00:38:01,015 --> 00:38:04,515
- This is no place for an innocent young girl.
- Come, gentlemen. No harm done.
491
00:38:04,595 --> 00:38:07,234
- As the executioner said to the hanged man.
- I'll... I'll take her.
492
00:38:07,316 --> 00:38:09,569
- There's no need. I can walk alone.
- No, I'll not hear of it.
493
00:38:09,649 --> 00:38:12,468
Your food will get cold. I'll be quite safe.
Our digs are just around the corner.
494
00:38:12,548 --> 00:38:14,754
Then I'll be back in good time.
495
00:38:15,515 --> 00:38:18,001
Watch yourself, Victor.
John Cree's got a temper.
496
00:38:18,081 --> 00:38:19,944
I'm not afraid of him.
497
00:38:37,347 --> 00:38:38,863
Lizzie.
498
00:38:40,248 --> 00:38:42,249
I'm afraid there's...
499
00:38:43,148 --> 00:38:44,687
...awful news.
500
00:38:44,767 --> 00:38:48,835
Victor was found at the bottom
of the stairs last night.
501
00:38:49,115 --> 00:38:50,316
Lizzie...
502
00:38:51,415 --> 00:38:54,268
...are you trying to tell me
you suspected John Cree?
503
00:38:54,348 --> 00:38:56,834
I didn't say that.
I merely said he was protective.
504
00:38:56,914 --> 00:38:59,502
You said the same of Dan Leno.
505
00:38:59,582 --> 00:39:01,394
I seem to ignite the urge in men.
506
00:39:04,315 --> 00:39:06,536
He was a terrible little turd.
507
00:39:07,315 --> 00:39:10,101
But he was our terrible little turd.
508
00:39:10,181 --> 00:39:13,024
That's it, cheer up.
509
00:39:15,014 --> 00:39:20,269
I've suggested that we make
tonight's show a special tribute.
510
00:39:21,098 --> 00:39:23,150
We'll give him a grand send-off...
511
00:39:23,914 --> 00:39:25,501
...won't we?
512
00:39:25,581 --> 00:39:27,934
Did you ever speak of it with John?
513
00:39:28,014 --> 00:39:31,035
No. I never spoke of it to anyone.
514
00:39:31,115 --> 00:39:33,469
I preferred to chalk it up to fate.
515
00:39:33,549 --> 00:39:35,991
Would you rather owe your happiness
to simple good fortune...
516
00:39:36,071 --> 00:39:38,917
...or to an unspeakable act of violence?
517
00:39:39,198 --> 00:39:42,357
Little Victor's death brought you happiness?
518
00:39:43,548 --> 00:39:46,206
Little Victor's death gave me life.
519
00:40:06,447 --> 00:40:08,401
The people come through
the doors and they laugh.
520
00:40:08,481 --> 00:40:11,801
Dan, I was hoping you'd wipe your ass
with the papers. You don't read them.
521
00:40:11,881 --> 00:40:16,211
Dan? Do you think I could pay
my respects to Little Victor, too?
522
00:40:17,248 --> 00:40:21,768
Good God. This is a funny thing.
What a funny thing.
523
00:40:21,848 --> 00:40:25,135
Just a little song. A blue one maybe,
Victor would like that.
524
00:40:25,215 --> 00:40:28,405
A salty sailor act, as if I were a man.
It could be a scream.
525
00:40:28,485 --> 00:40:30,969
Go on, then, Lizzie. Give it a try.
526
00:40:31,049 --> 00:40:33,864
Isn't that costume
a little bit small for you, dear?
527
00:40:33,944 --> 00:40:35,976
That's the point.
528
00:40:48,856 --> 00:40:53,736
A regular farmer's daughter
thought she'd like to come to town
529
00:40:53,816 --> 00:40:57,775
But what did she know about railways?
530
00:40:57,855 --> 00:41:02,275
She jumped up on the engine
but the stoker shoved her down
531
00:41:02,355 --> 00:41:06,445
What did she know about railways?
532
00:41:06,524 --> 00:41:10,665
A guard came up and spoke to her
and she sat sobbing there
533
00:41:10,745 --> 00:41:14,943
Asked her if she'd a ticket,
but she answered with a stare
534
00:41:15,023 --> 00:41:20,888
Said he, "You can't go up to town
until you've paid your fare
535
00:41:21,667 --> 00:41:24,667
But what did she know... excuse me...
536
00:41:24,747 --> 00:41:28,200
About railways?
537
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:33,776
So she arrived at Euston
by the midnight train
538
00:41:33,856 --> 00:41:37,492
But when she got to the wicket there
someone wanted to punch her ticket
539
00:41:37,572 --> 00:41:41,231
The guards and porters
came round by the score
540
00:41:41,311 --> 00:41:44,781
And she told them all she'd never
had her ticket punched before
541
00:41:44,861 --> 00:41:51,328
Yeah, she told them all she'd never
had her ticket punched before
542
00:42:01,947 --> 00:42:03,834
Oblige again!
543
00:42:04,014 --> 00:42:07,634
Lizzie, oblige again! They want more!
544
00:42:07,714 --> 00:42:10,916
- I don't have any more.
- You have them!
545
00:42:27,147 --> 00:42:29,565
Would you look at these rotten cotton gloves?
546
00:42:30,564 --> 00:42:32,977
That saltwater will shrink anything.
547
00:42:36,646 --> 00:42:39,977
Least that's what the ladies
down at the docks tell me.
548
00:42:48,546 --> 00:42:50,394
I just looked at the gloves
and they looked so absurd...
549
00:42:50,473 --> 00:42:53,268
- ...that the line just came to me like that.
- "Them rotten cotton gloves!"
550
00:42:53,348 --> 00:42:56,935
It could be your catchphrase. No need
to dip into the blue bag so much.
551
00:42:57,015 --> 00:42:59,668
They loved it. They loved it all.
They love you.
552
00:42:59,748 --> 00:43:01,787
- And who wouldn't.
- Uncle!
553
00:43:01,867 --> 00:43:04,302
Careful, Uncle. With Lizzie in that getup...
554
00:43:04,382 --> 00:43:06,801
...anyone looking over might think
you have an eye for the boys.
555
00:43:06,881 --> 00:43:10,101
Let them think what they like.
More drinks, please!
556
00:43:10,181 --> 00:43:14,010
Little Victor wouldn't have wanted any of us
standing up at the end of the night.
557
00:43:15,647 --> 00:43:20,484
I'm tired, I'm afraid.
Walk me home, will you, John?
558
00:43:22,048 --> 00:43:23,943
I'll come back.
559
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,288
Why are you still wearing your costume?
560
00:43:30,367 --> 00:43:32,802
I hoped it might keep the men away.
561
00:43:33,881 --> 00:43:36,452
You prefer the girls, Lizzie?
562
00:43:37,681 --> 00:43:39,201
Nothing wrong in that if you do.
563
00:43:39,281 --> 00:43:41,968
Come on, no need to make something
from nothing. You dress like a girl.
564
00:43:42,048 --> 00:43:43,840
Yeah, on stage.
565
00:43:47,281 --> 00:43:51,768
Well, if you really care,
maybe I like how I felt on stage.
566
00:43:52,098 --> 00:43:53,918
I care.
567
00:43:54,248 --> 00:43:56,693
I care to see you happy.
568
00:43:57,781 --> 00:43:59,302
Tonight...
569
00:44:00,380 --> 00:44:02,435
...tonight, you look happy.
570
00:44:03,414 --> 00:44:06,135
We still need handwriting samples
from Marx, Gissing, and Leno.
571
00:44:06,215 --> 00:44:09,841
- Did you speak with the maid again?
- Aveline Ortega? I did, sir.
572
00:44:09,921 --> 00:44:12,901
- She won't hear a word said against him.
- You showed her the journal entries?
573
00:44:12,981 --> 00:44:16,333
- She swore the writing wasn't his.
- If Cree were our Golem...
574
00:44:16,413 --> 00:44:19,201
...it would certainly make sense
of him destroying his papers.
575
00:44:19,281 --> 00:44:21,903
And God knows as a failed playwright,
Cree must've grown sick...
576
00:44:21,983 --> 00:44:25,306
...of watching his famous wife
earn London's attention.
577
00:44:26,380 --> 00:44:29,448
- Do you fancy another?
- Trying to get me drunk?
578
00:44:30,148 --> 00:44:31,877
A pint, please.
579
00:44:34,180 --> 00:44:37,236
It was a joke. Didn't mean nothing.
580
00:44:38,564 --> 00:44:40,794
I didn't mean to offend.
581
00:44:43,147 --> 00:44:44,599
I'm...
582
00:44:45,598 --> 00:44:47,170
...on your side.
583
00:44:54,547 --> 00:44:57,101
It's not the Golem haunting you, is it?
584
00:44:57,181 --> 00:45:00,801
- It's her.
- She's going to hang, Flood.
585
00:45:00,981 --> 00:45:03,602
We have to rule out the other suspects.
586
00:45:04,711 --> 00:45:08,012
Well, I may have found
an eyewitness in Limehouse, sir.
587
00:45:08,311 --> 00:45:10,743
Scaoil liom! Scaoil liom!
588
00:45:11,714 --> 00:45:15,901
You're not in any trouble.
I'm taking you to someone who can translate.
589
00:45:15,981 --> 00:45:17,572
Understand?
590
00:45:20,215 --> 00:45:22,734
This is... this is sister Mary.
591
00:45:22,814 --> 00:45:25,274
T� mo mh�thair tar �is m� a dh�ol cheana.
592
00:45:25,354 --> 00:45:27,968
T� fear do m'fhuadach ar mo l� breithe.
593
00:45:28,048 --> 00:45:30,235
The child says she's not for sale.
594
00:45:30,314 --> 00:45:32,934
Her mum's got a fella
taking her on her next birthday.
595
00:45:33,014 --> 00:45:34,934
No, no, please.
596
00:45:35,014 --> 00:45:40,314
Tell her my colleague showed her
some photographs, suspects in a crime.
597
00:45:40,394 --> 00:45:45,219
She seemed to recognize one of them.
We need to know where and when she saw him.
598
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,267
Sir, this is where Solomon Weil lived!
599
00:45:50,347 --> 00:45:52,500
The scholar, the third victim.
600
00:45:52,580 --> 00:45:55,077
- Which house number did he...
- Number 4.
601
00:46:02,013 --> 00:46:03,769
This man?
602
00:46:05,947 --> 00:46:08,201
Families starve in the streets.
603
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,168
Women are used up
and thrown away, then you...
604
00:46:11,247 --> 00:46:14,168
...you persecute one
who fights for the people.
605
00:46:14,247 --> 00:46:17,570
You're not fit to clean the boots
of a man like Karl Marx.
606
00:46:25,613 --> 00:46:26,902
So...
607
00:46:27,581 --> 00:46:31,267
...London declares that the Jew
was murdered by a Jewish monster?
608
00:46:31,347 --> 00:46:34,434
And so absolves itself of all responsibility.
609
00:46:34,914 --> 00:46:36,875
Make no mistake, gentlemen...
610
00:46:36,955 --> 00:46:40,367
...it is not Solomon Weil
who's mutilated and murdered here.
611
00:46:40,447 --> 00:46:41,835
It is the Jew.
612
00:46:41,915 --> 00:46:44,601
None of the Golem's
other victims were Hebrews, sir.
613
00:46:44,681 --> 00:46:46,788
But do you not see?
614
00:46:46,868 --> 00:46:50,434
This murderer strikes
at the very symbols of the city...
615
00:46:50,514 --> 00:46:52,604
...the Jew, the whore.
616
00:46:52,684 --> 00:46:57,169
They are the sacrificial tributes
in this labyrinth of London.
617
00:46:58,398 --> 00:47:02,643
And so of course must be ritually butchered.
618
00:47:11,580 --> 00:47:14,009
What is it that you wish me to write?
619
00:47:16,279 --> 00:47:19,035
"The morning herald...
620
00:47:19,914 --> 00:47:23,342
...had declined to review my debut."
621
00:47:24,081 --> 00:47:26,571
All that work for nothing.
622
00:47:27,581 --> 00:47:30,714
I resolved that this time
I'd put on a show...
623
00:47:30,794 --> 00:47:33,234
...that everyone would notice.
624
00:47:35,048 --> 00:47:40,276
A fine opening act
of the crowd-pleasing sort.
625
00:48:09,014 --> 00:48:12,134
And I went on to create a spectacle...
626
00:48:12,214 --> 00:48:15,630
...that no beholder would ever forget.
627
00:48:22,146 --> 00:48:25,001
"It was all too easy to kill a whore.
628
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:28,700
Tonight I would return to kill the Jew."
629
00:48:28,780 --> 00:48:32,500
This is absurd. You didn't do this.
630
00:48:32,580 --> 00:48:34,113
Of course I didn't.
631
00:48:37,314 --> 00:48:42,190
Would you agree with the defendant
that in the weeks before his death...
632
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:46,038
...Mr. Cree had seemed "morbid"?
633
00:48:46,117 --> 00:48:47,935
No, sir.
634
00:48:48,015 --> 00:48:50,268
He was in good spirits.
635
00:48:51,747 --> 00:48:56,234
And how would you describe relations
between Mr. Cree and his wife?
636
00:48:56,314 --> 00:49:01,001
Not especially good, sir.
They saw very little of each other.
637
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:06,067
And yet Mrs. Cree insisted
on preparing him a nightly draft?
638
00:49:06,147 --> 00:49:07,667
That is correct, sir.
639
00:49:07,747 --> 00:49:10,898
And did you hear Mr. Cree
express suspicions...
640
00:49:10,978 --> 00:49:15,367
...that she might have tainted
this draft with something?
641
00:49:15,447 --> 00:49:17,200
Not quite.
642
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:19,671
Though just before his death...
643
00:49:19,751 --> 00:49:22,210
...I overheard them in dispute.
644
00:49:22,290 --> 00:49:26,977
I heard Mr. Cree say,
"You devil. You have done this."
645
00:49:32,546 --> 00:49:36,180
She may as well have placed
the noose around my neck herself.
646
00:49:37,514 --> 00:49:42,033
You must make it plain to the jury that
there was bad blood between the two of you.
647
00:49:42,113 --> 00:49:45,701
- Romantic jealousy.
- I never stood between them.
648
00:49:45,781 --> 00:49:48,731
I'm sure my feelings on intimacy
are plain to you by now.
649
00:49:48,811 --> 00:49:51,167
John was free to court
Aveline if he wanted to.
650
00:49:51,247 --> 00:49:53,441
But he had his heart set on you.
651
00:49:53,521 --> 00:49:55,968
I did nothing to encourage it.
652
00:49:56,047 --> 00:49:59,134
My stage career had taken off.
I rarely saw him.
653
00:50:00,113 --> 00:50:01,935
And then...
654
00:50:02,414 --> 00:50:05,037
...out of the blue, he invited me for supper.
655
00:50:05,947 --> 00:50:09,267
- Your new show's tremendous.
- We feel awful intruding.
656
00:50:09,347 --> 00:50:12,201
- We simply adore you.
- Thank you.
657
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:16,534
- Thank you. Thank you very much.
- I'll treasure this.
658
00:50:16,614 --> 00:50:19,235
- I can't believe it.
- What a surprise!
659
00:50:20,013 --> 00:50:21,584
As I was saying...
660
00:50:21,664 --> 00:50:25,567
...I have reached the end of
the first act of "Misery Junction."
661
00:50:25,647 --> 00:50:29,563
But I can't quite decide what to do
with my heroine next, and...
662
00:50:29,643 --> 00:50:31,834
...I thought you might advise me.
663
00:50:31,914 --> 00:50:35,566
- I'm flattered.
- The heroine's name is Katherine Dove.
664
00:50:35,646 --> 00:50:39,063
When I began, I had her in
the workhouses, but now I have her...
665
00:50:39,143 --> 00:50:41,967
...sewing sailcloth on the docks.
666
00:50:42,647 --> 00:50:46,100
My mother died when I was young. Her kidneys.
667
00:50:46,180 --> 00:50:49,802
- It was so fast.
- Orphaned and alone at 14.
668
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:55,334
- Is Katherine Dove an orphan?
- She could be.
669
00:50:55,414 --> 00:50:58,500
But you've still not told me what to do
with her by the end of the first act.
670
00:50:58,580 --> 00:51:00,668
- What's your dilemma?
- At the moment...
671
00:51:00,748 --> 00:51:04,696
...she's very close
to salvation and ruin, and...
672
00:51:04,776 --> 00:51:06,967
...I'm wondering if I should rescue her.
673
00:51:07,047 --> 00:51:08,568
Yes.
674
00:51:08,947 --> 00:51:10,967
Have her become successful.
675
00:51:11,047 --> 00:51:13,316
Loved by her audiences.
676
00:51:13,396 --> 00:51:16,834
But she's very much alone.
Living in theatrical digs, hand to mouth.
677
00:51:16,913 --> 00:51:19,701
- It's a life of degradation.
- Come on.
678
00:51:19,781 --> 00:51:23,014
People love to see degradation upon
the stage. It's what they pay for.
679
00:51:23,094 --> 00:51:25,868
Yeah, but they expect to see a happy ending.
680
00:51:25,947 --> 00:51:28,401
And Katherine deserves a protector.
681
00:51:28,481 --> 00:51:30,000
She does.
682
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:32,300
Her manager, perhaps.
683
00:51:32,380 --> 00:51:35,411
- Someone kindly, like Uncle.
- No, an elderly character...
684
00:51:35,491 --> 00:51:38,834
...the audience would know he
wouldn't live to see her into old age.
685
00:51:38,913 --> 00:51:41,900
A friend, then. A comic, maybe.
686
00:51:41,980 --> 00:51:44,268
I would like to give her a suitor.
687
00:51:45,117 --> 00:51:48,084
Someone who cares fiercely
for her well-being.
688
00:51:48,164 --> 00:51:50,051
A white knight.
689
00:51:50,481 --> 00:51:52,350
What do you think?
690
00:51:54,414 --> 00:51:57,275
I think Katherine Dove
can look out for herself.
691
00:51:59,977 --> 00:52:02,668
In the bowl. Yes, there we go.
692
00:52:02,748 --> 00:52:05,103
Get it out. That's it.
693
00:52:06,050 --> 00:52:07,551
Gin.
694
00:52:09,579 --> 00:52:12,835
Down here. There we go.
695
00:52:13,714 --> 00:52:17,711
God. I think I put my back out
carrying her up the stairs.
696
00:52:20,513 --> 00:52:23,688
I see you decided to dress
as a woman this evening.
697
00:52:24,014 --> 00:52:26,147
Can't wear a costume out to supper, can I?
698
00:52:26,227 --> 00:52:28,242
Wouldn't be the first time.
699
00:52:36,514 --> 00:52:38,701
Be careful of that one, Lizzie.
700
00:52:38,781 --> 00:52:43,601
Don't lead him up the garden path unless
you're prepared to be dragged indoors.
701
00:52:43,681 --> 00:52:45,568
He offered me the lead in "Misery Junction."
702
00:52:45,648 --> 00:52:48,276
He'll expect something in return.
703
00:52:56,780 --> 00:52:59,261
You don't need him, Lizzie.
704
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,109
You did all this on your own.
705
00:53:05,513 --> 00:53:07,402
I could do more.
706
00:53:08,781 --> 00:53:10,635
Could be a real actress.
707
00:53:11,614 --> 00:53:15,677
Show the world what people
like us are really capable of.
708
00:53:17,847 --> 00:53:19,680
I just need a chance.
709
00:53:23,079 --> 00:53:26,000
Here we sit, the two most
famous faces on the stage...
710
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:28,935
...and you suggest the world
conspires to oppress us.
711
00:53:30,214 --> 00:53:33,077
Remember that book you lent me? Pope?
712
00:53:33,157 --> 00:53:37,401
In the temple of fame, some people's names
are carved in stone and others in ice.
713
00:53:38,380 --> 00:53:40,267
We're clowns, Dan.
714
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,008
We'll be forgotten.
715
00:53:46,379 --> 00:53:49,000
If you think a man like John Cree
is going to change that...
716
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:51,343
...I don't have the breath to argue.
717
00:53:53,780 --> 00:53:58,668
And you know she's got a soft spot for him.
And whatever her faults, she's family.
718
00:53:59,597 --> 00:54:02,461
And we look out for each other, don't we?
719
00:54:09,180 --> 00:54:11,534
The big finale is the hanging.
We've a life-size gallows.
720
00:54:11,614 --> 00:54:14,668
I'll wear this harness, concealed, and then
drop right through the trap just there.
721
00:54:14,747 --> 00:54:17,615
- Looks just like a real hanging.
- You sure it's safe, this contraption?
722
00:54:17,695 --> 00:54:21,932
- You're not wearing a real noose, are you?
- The noose is real but the fall is broken...
723
00:54:22,012 --> 00:54:24,800
- ...by the harness.
- Where's Lizzie?
724
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:27,638
Up above giving John Cree
an interview for the Era.
725
00:54:27,717 --> 00:54:30,867
- Is that what they call it?
- I'll go and tell her to hurry up.
726
00:54:30,947 --> 00:54:35,000
The play's a shocker, but a spoof shocker,
the way only our marvelous company can do it.
727
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:38,700
Dan wrote it. It's based on
the Ratcliffe Highway murders of 1811.
728
00:54:38,780 --> 00:54:40,200
- John Williams.
- Pardon?
729
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:43,234
- The killer's name was John Williams.
- Quite. But much of it is fiction.
730
00:54:43,314 --> 00:54:46,200
It's all great fun, and terribly gory.
You must put that in for your readers.
731
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,700
Dan says everybody thrills
to gore these days.
732
00:54:48,780 --> 00:54:50,434
Let's have you finished, John.
733
00:54:50,514 --> 00:54:53,167
She's not even ready and
she's on stage in 10 minutes.
734
00:54:53,247 --> 00:54:55,700
We can't have the star late
for the first performance.
735
00:54:55,780 --> 00:54:58,433
Dan's still the star. Always will be.
736
00:54:58,513 --> 00:55:02,178
Thought I felt my ears burning.
Did anyone check the safety?
737
00:55:02,258 --> 00:55:04,900
Of course. Wouldn't let anything
happen to our Lizzie, would we?
738
00:55:04,980 --> 00:55:07,634
- How's the crowd?
- Excellent. Great number of Jews.
739
00:55:07,713 --> 00:55:10,100
I believe it's one of their holidays.
740
00:55:10,180 --> 00:55:13,200
You should speak to them in Yiddish.
They will love it.
741
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:15,000
Wish them...
742
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:17,143
"...meesa meschina."
743
00:55:22,314 --> 00:55:25,543
Welcome, brave hearts,
to an evening of horror.
744
00:55:31,514 --> 00:55:33,234
Our play's about to begin...
745
00:55:34,413 --> 00:55:36,334
...but first, ladies and gentlemen...
746
00:55:36,414 --> 00:55:40,534
...and those not unconnected with
a certain historical chosen race...
747
00:55:40,614 --> 00:55:44,090
...may I wish you all
from the bottom of my heart...
748
00:55:44,679 --> 00:55:46,867
...meesa meschina.
749
00:55:47,247 --> 00:55:49,276
That is mashugana!
750
00:55:55,912 --> 00:55:57,933
What did you say that for?
751
00:55:58,013 --> 00:56:01,242
- What happened?
- Lizzie wished the Jews a sudden death!
752
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:04,729
Here we are again!
753
00:56:09,126 --> 00:56:11,142
It was only a lark, Lizzie.
754
00:56:18,146 --> 00:56:21,189
I came back at once to see
if you were all right.
755
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:48,900
And after that, you began courting?
756
00:56:50,079 --> 00:56:51,730
After a fashion.
757
00:56:51,810 --> 00:56:55,834
I could never love John enough
to give him what he really wanted.
758
00:56:56,214 --> 00:56:58,901
But you grew to love him?
759
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,435
I wanted to be in his play.
760
00:57:03,364 --> 00:57:06,934
He wanted the gratification
of plucking a poor needy girl...
761
00:57:07,014 --> 00:57:09,476
...from misery and saving her.
762
00:57:11,279 --> 00:57:13,527
We used one another equally.
763
00:57:14,679 --> 00:57:17,481
Perhaps that's the best
that can be said of any coupling.
764
00:57:18,719 --> 00:57:21,167
That's a very dim view.
765
00:57:21,946 --> 00:57:24,463
If you seek a dim view,
be sure to ask a comedian.
766
00:57:34,879 --> 00:57:37,867
Alice Stanton's dress finally showed up.
767
00:57:37,947 --> 00:57:41,409
Improperly archived,
like everything else here.
768
00:57:44,912 --> 00:57:46,942
Been at the jail again?
769
00:57:49,746 --> 00:57:51,800
Anything more on Cree?
770
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:55,533
Only that he was a manipulative ass
who fancied himself as a White Knight.
771
00:57:55,613 --> 00:58:00,468
I meant as relating to our case.
The Golem. Remember him?
772
00:58:00,547 --> 00:58:02,217
Cree knew of the murderer John Williams.
773
00:58:02,297 --> 00:58:05,398
Yet, apparently, so did Dan Leno. In fact,
Leno wrote a whole play about the fellow.
774
00:58:05,478 --> 00:58:07,049
Golem suspect who is alive.
775
00:58:07,129 --> 00:58:09,881
- That would be bad news.
- For his next victim, certainly.
776
00:58:09,961 --> 00:58:12,400
And for you. Or do you no longer care
what becomes of your career?
777
00:58:12,479 --> 00:58:14,651
- I've a job to do and I'm doing it.
- And which job would that be?
778
00:58:14,731 --> 00:58:17,667
Watch your tongue, Flood.
Do I need to remind you of your position?
779
00:58:17,747 --> 00:58:21,887
That may be helpful. Because
there are times when I'm confused...
780
00:58:21,967 --> 00:58:25,434
...as to whether we're here to find
the Golem or to save Elizabeth.
781
00:58:25,513 --> 00:58:27,418
Perhaps we'll do both!
782
00:58:28,147 --> 00:58:29,977
Who knows...
783
00:58:34,346 --> 00:58:36,566
Dear God, how many pockets did Leno need?
784
00:58:36,646 --> 00:58:39,987
He tosses things into the crowd.
Sweeties. Flowers. Undergarments.
785
00:58:40,067 --> 00:58:42,867
Sounds hilarious.
Didn't Roberts empty the contents?
786
00:58:42,947 --> 00:58:45,854
The coroner's office did it.
Why? Did they miss something?
787
00:58:59,113 --> 00:59:02,067
8 Gower Place? Why do I know that?
788
00:59:02,147 --> 00:59:06,526
Perhaps because we're due a visit.
It's George Gissing's address.
789
00:59:08,013 --> 00:59:11,533
His wife gave him an alibi for the night
of the Ratcliffe Highway murders...
790
00:59:11,613 --> 00:59:14,276
...but she seemed fond of her drink.
791
00:59:21,813 --> 00:59:24,200
We need to talk to Mr. Gissing, madam.
792
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:26,368
George isn't here. He just left.
793
00:59:26,447 --> 00:59:28,666
Do you know where he was going?
794
00:59:28,746 --> 00:59:31,008
Limehouse, perhaps?
795
00:59:53,079 --> 00:59:56,416
Not yet. I'm interested to see where he goes.
796
00:59:56,496 --> 01:00:00,126
What business a scholar has
in the streets of Limehouse.
797
01:00:39,713 --> 01:00:43,194
- Madam, we're from Scotland Yard.
- We're just a pharmacy. You go away!
798
01:00:43,274 --> 01:00:45,109
Check my record!
799
01:00:48,030 --> 01:00:52,328
Our business is with Mr. Gissing,
the man who just entered, not you.
800
01:00:55,646 --> 01:00:58,947
Good customer. He keep his work here.
801
01:01:02,047 --> 01:01:05,209
Always working. Writing.
802
01:01:08,107 --> 01:01:11,933
Mr. Gissing, I'm Detective
Inspector Kildare of Scotland Yard.
803
01:01:12,013 --> 01:01:16,475
Perhaps you could explain how this came to
be in the possession of a murdered woman.
804
01:01:18,445 --> 01:01:20,933
I'm afraid you'll find
my address in the pockets...
805
01:01:21,013 --> 01:01:23,533
...of a great many women in this area, sir.
806
01:01:23,613 --> 01:01:26,633
My wife, Nell, is in the habit
of going missing.
807
01:01:26,713 --> 01:01:30,100
I give my address so that
they may contact me if they see her.
808
01:01:30,180 --> 01:01:33,850
Let us just say my wife
used to ply the same trade.
809
01:01:34,879 --> 01:01:37,800
- You don't seem in the least bit surprised.
- By what?
810
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:41,500
That a gentleman like me, a scholar,
should have wed a fallen woman.
811
01:01:41,580 --> 01:01:45,109
Why would anyone be surprised?
The world is full of men...
812
01:01:45,189 --> 01:01:47,568
- ...like you, Mr. Gissing.
- I beg your pardon?
813
01:01:47,648 --> 01:01:51,497
Men who feign generosity when what
they really seek is congratulation.
814
01:01:51,577 --> 01:01:54,000
Men who play God by saving lives.
815
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,366
Is it really so different, I wonder...
816
01:01:56,446 --> 01:01:59,787
- ...from playing God by taking them?
- I am not a murderer, sir.
817
01:02:00,047 --> 01:02:03,617
Then perhaps you will write
the words that I dictate?
818
01:02:03,847 --> 01:02:06,234
Let's get this thing done.
819
01:02:06,313 --> 01:02:09,388
"September 10, 1880.
820
01:02:11,266 --> 01:02:13,329
My public debut...
821
01:02:13,412 --> 01:02:16,167
...had garnered rave reviews."
822
01:02:16,246 --> 01:02:20,134
I could scarcely wait to begin
work on my next creation...
823
01:02:20,214 --> 01:02:22,900
...but there was time to pass before dark...
824
01:02:22,980 --> 01:02:26,742
...so I paid a visit
to the Ratcliffe Highway shop.
825
01:02:33,778 --> 01:02:36,433
I bought some cufflinks
from the owner's wife.
826
01:02:36,513 --> 01:02:38,700
I could tell that when the time came...
827
01:02:38,780 --> 01:02:42,441
...she would make a fine player
in my magnum opus.
828
01:03:16,529 --> 01:03:18,784
You're not the Jew from the library.
829
01:03:19,913 --> 01:03:22,601
Well... no matter.
830
01:03:23,380 --> 01:03:26,067
Who are you? What do you want?
831
01:03:26,147 --> 01:03:28,400
I have come to discourse with you.
832
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:31,526
About death and everlasting life.
833
01:03:33,178 --> 01:03:34,733
Herein...
834
01:03:34,813 --> 01:03:36,922
...lies the secret.
835
01:03:46,245 --> 01:03:49,299
It was here that I read
of the mythical Golem...
836
01:03:49,379 --> 01:03:52,354
...a homunculus of clay given life by man.
837
01:03:53,313 --> 01:03:57,166
How could any Londoner fail
to delight in this piece of theater?
838
01:03:57,246 --> 01:04:00,821
I could even see myself appearing
before the next unfortunate...
839
01:04:00,901 --> 01:04:03,732
...with mallet in hand exclaiming...
840
01:04:03,812 --> 01:04:06,291
"...Here we are again."
841
01:04:09,413 --> 01:04:12,480
- May I go now?
- What?
842
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:16,347
- Oh, yes, I'm sorry.
- Why would you be thinking of me still?
843
01:04:16,427 --> 01:04:18,700
My hand doesn't match at all.
You know I'm innocent.
844
01:04:18,780 --> 01:04:22,373
I know. I was reading what you wrote.
You were in my mind. I'm sorry.
845
01:04:22,453 --> 01:04:25,633
- Something I missed.
- Oh, I see. What is it?
846
01:04:25,713 --> 01:04:28,927
A line from the journal.
847
01:04:30,046 --> 01:04:34,533
"I bought some cufflinks
from the owner's wife."
848
01:04:35,512 --> 01:04:38,136
On September the 10th,
the Golem made a purchase...
849
01:04:38,216 --> 01:04:40,642
...from the Ratcliffe Highway shop.
850
01:05:02,378 --> 01:05:06,066
A new production of "Bluebeard"
opens this weekend...
851
01:05:06,146 --> 01:05:12,215
...and all of London longs to see
the great Dan Leno performing it.
852
01:05:12,947 --> 01:05:17,768
But I know they yearn
for more potent excitements.
853
01:05:18,847 --> 01:05:24,100
This is pantomime in its purest form.
854
01:05:24,980 --> 01:05:28,733
I could even see myself appearing
before the next unfortunate...
855
01:05:28,813 --> 01:05:31,666
...with a mallet in my hand, exclaiming...
856
01:05:31,746 --> 01:05:34,242
"...here we are again!"
857
01:05:41,545 --> 01:05:45,633
What strange coincidence
and delight to discover...
858
01:05:45,713 --> 01:05:47,867
...on the streets of Limehouse...
859
01:05:47,947 --> 01:05:52,033
...a whore wearing a costume
I remembered well.
860
01:05:52,763 --> 01:05:56,633
She was a player waiting for a role.
861
01:05:56,713 --> 01:05:59,933
Of course, I obliged her.
862
01:06:00,012 --> 01:06:03,900
The public yearned for the next installment.
863
01:06:03,980 --> 01:06:07,675
And one should never keep
an audience waiting.
864
01:06:11,146 --> 01:06:13,900
We need to forget about Cree
and concentrate on Leno.
865
01:06:13,980 --> 01:06:18,133
The Golem even imagined himself
saying, "Here we are again."
866
01:06:18,213 --> 01:06:21,733
I know, but apparently everyone
knows Leno's catch-phrase.
867
01:06:21,813 --> 01:06:24,874
There's Alice Stanton's dress
and the fact he knew Mr. Gerrard.
868
01:06:24,954 --> 01:06:27,233
We're all part of London's tapestry.
869
01:06:27,313 --> 01:06:30,409
Sometimes threads get crossed.
870
01:06:32,712 --> 01:06:34,609
Good Lord!
871
01:06:38,445 --> 01:06:41,780
We should buy tickets.
I'd be intrigued to see how it ends.
872
01:06:41,860 --> 01:06:45,096
- I could recommend many better shows.
- I was making a joke, Flood.
873
01:06:46,045 --> 01:06:48,753
As was I. Obviously.
874
01:06:48,833 --> 01:06:50,933
Who'd wish to see
something in such poor taste?
875
01:06:51,012 --> 01:06:53,815
Apparently London's appetite
for horror knows no bounds.
876
01:06:53,895 --> 01:06:56,399
Our Golem was quite correct about that.
877
01:06:56,479 --> 01:06:58,833
Oh, Bluey, please!
878
01:06:58,913 --> 01:07:03,512
Have mercy! It's been days since I've eaten!
879
01:07:14,345 --> 01:07:17,999
Oh, you are a kind man, Bluey!
880
01:07:18,279 --> 01:07:21,908
I shall never have it said
you're not good to me.
881
01:07:22,380 --> 01:07:26,008
I thought I might expire from starvation.
882
01:07:39,279 --> 01:07:41,693
What on earth are you doing, dear?
883
01:07:41,773 --> 01:07:44,767
- I'm taking my medical treatment.
- You're treatment?
884
01:07:44,847 --> 01:07:49,500
The doctor told me to take
a daily walk on an empty stomach.
885
01:07:55,678 --> 01:07:58,908
Brought the receipt,
as you requested in your telegram.
886
01:08:00,513 --> 01:08:04,367
As you will see, I did not buy cufflinks.
887
01:08:04,747 --> 01:08:06,199
A ladies' hat.
888
01:08:06,279 --> 01:08:09,999
I often shopped for stagewear
at Gerrard's little shop.
889
01:08:10,079 --> 01:08:12,899
God rest him. I knew him well.
890
01:08:12,979 --> 01:08:15,800
Now, you mentioned needing
a sample of my hand.
891
01:08:15,879 --> 01:08:20,600
Well, I brought a pile of my old papers.
Please, take as many as you see fit.
892
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:25,163
I'm afraid I'll need you to produce
a sample in my presence, Mr. Leno.
893
01:08:27,179 --> 01:08:30,879
Then you will permit me to pay you a visit
at Scotland Yard tomorrow afternoon?
894
01:08:30,959 --> 01:08:33,167
Only, I have supper arrangements.
895
01:08:34,296 --> 01:08:36,584
And I've still to be rid of all of this.
896
01:08:37,413 --> 01:08:39,466
If you'll... excuse me?
897
01:08:39,546 --> 01:08:43,250
Perhaps we could continue
to talk while you're...
898
01:08:43,879 --> 01:08:48,494
I've some questions I'd like
to ask you about John Cree.
899
01:08:49,513 --> 01:08:53,199
Then I shall try to answer them. Though
one should never speak ill of the dead.
900
01:08:53,279 --> 01:08:56,066
- You didn't care for the man?
- I was friendly with his wife.
901
01:08:56,146 --> 01:08:59,933
He made her unhappy.
You may extrapolate the rest.
902
01:09:00,013 --> 01:09:02,467
When did you last see him?
903
01:09:02,547 --> 01:09:07,500
First night of his play, "Misery Junction,"
which also happened to be the closing night.
904
01:09:07,580 --> 01:09:10,233
I know. Did you see him afterwards?
905
01:09:10,313 --> 01:09:13,976
Of course. This is my theater.
906
01:09:14,196 --> 01:09:17,220
I took over managing it last year when...
907
01:09:18,547 --> 01:09:21,400
...Uncle joined the great
pantomime in the sky.
908
01:09:21,979 --> 01:09:24,359
The performance was here?
909
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:28,507
For Lizzie's sake.
Whatever became of our friendship...
910
01:09:28,747 --> 01:09:30,616
...we'll always be family.
911
01:09:32,547 --> 01:09:35,700
- Is John Cree a suspect?
- I'm not at liberty to say.
912
01:09:35,780 --> 01:09:39,366
A posthumous suspect.
What will you do, dig him up for the trial?
913
01:09:39,446 --> 01:09:43,454
Do you know why Lizzie might be
reluctant to voice any suspicions?
914
01:09:44,613 --> 01:09:46,973
You think she's protecting him?
915
01:09:47,513 --> 01:09:49,866
Now, that's a novel slant.
916
01:09:49,946 --> 01:09:52,401
Most people believe she poisoned him.
917
01:09:53,730 --> 01:09:55,489
Do you?
918
01:09:58,646 --> 01:10:03,003
Either way, that man was
the author of his own demise.
919
01:10:03,413 --> 01:10:05,700
He practically destroyed her.
920
01:10:05,779 --> 01:10:09,647
Insisting she give up the stage... I mean,
he may as well have ended her life.
921
01:10:10,413 --> 01:10:13,866
Do you think he was capable of ending a life?
922
01:10:14,246 --> 01:10:16,534
Literally, I mean.
923
01:10:17,513 --> 01:10:20,425
Who knows what any man is capable of?
924
01:10:21,547 --> 01:10:23,999
We all wear pantomime masks...
925
01:10:24,079 --> 01:10:25,975
...do we not?
926
01:10:28,078 --> 01:10:30,333
I'm sorry, I really must dress now.
927
01:10:30,413 --> 01:10:33,108
First, tell me about Little Victor.
928
01:10:35,578 --> 01:10:38,066
If the injustices of the past interest you...
929
01:10:38,146 --> 01:10:41,517
...you'd do better to look into
the demise of Tommy Farr.
930
01:10:41,946 --> 01:10:43,073
Uncle?
931
01:10:44,512 --> 01:10:45,709
Uncle.
932
01:10:56,346 --> 01:10:59,765
They said the jury expects
to reach a verdict this afternoon.
933
01:10:59,845 --> 01:11:01,356
I know. Lizzie...
934
01:11:01,436 --> 01:11:04,206
It would seem the press
have reached theirs already.
935
01:11:07,078 --> 01:11:09,033
Lizzie, I spoke with Dan.
936
01:11:09,113 --> 01:11:12,177
He urged me to look into Uncle's death.
937
01:11:12,946 --> 01:11:16,487
If you wanted to know about Uncle,
you should simply have asked.
938
01:11:16,567 --> 01:11:19,199
Come into the parlor.
939
01:11:19,279 --> 01:11:21,900
As the spider said to the fly.
940
01:11:23,379 --> 01:11:26,099
Isn't that how it goes? The rhyme?
941
01:11:26,179 --> 01:11:28,068
It may be, Lizzie.
942
01:11:29,579 --> 01:11:32,400
It may be. Cucumber sandwich?
943
01:11:32,480 --> 01:11:34,966
- No, thanks.
- Oh, I forgot.
944
01:11:35,046 --> 01:11:38,141
You're not entirely partial
to cucumber, are you?
945
01:11:40,711 --> 01:11:42,766
What's this about, Uncle?
946
01:11:42,946 --> 01:11:44,651
Why'd you invite me?
947
01:11:45,480 --> 01:11:47,900
I want to show you something.
948
01:11:48,580 --> 01:11:50,519
Well, close your eyes.
949
01:11:53,078 --> 01:11:54,907
Good girl.
950
01:12:19,378 --> 01:12:21,414
It's just my fun, Lizzie.
951
01:12:22,530 --> 01:12:25,167
I like a good beating every now and again.
952
01:12:26,046 --> 01:12:27,933
Doesn't everyone?
953
01:12:28,712 --> 01:12:30,266
I know her.
954
01:12:30,346 --> 01:12:33,567
That's the girl who assisted the Great
Bolini. She used to be sawn in half.
955
01:12:33,646 --> 01:12:37,289
That's her, ducks. What a performer.
956
01:12:38,946 --> 01:12:41,230
But it's a shame
she had to leave the company.
957
01:12:41,310 --> 01:12:44,600
- Why have you shown me this?
- Don't play the innocent with me.
958
01:12:44,679 --> 01:12:47,099
I am not playing. I am real.
959
01:12:47,179 --> 01:12:49,899
Well, I'd be grateful
if you could oblige me, Lizzie...
960
01:12:49,979 --> 01:12:53,356
...with a pose, a tableau.
961
01:12:53,436 --> 01:12:57,508
- Perhaps a little beating?
- I'd rather be destroyed first.
962
01:12:58,678 --> 01:13:02,012
- I'm prepared to forget this visit took place.
- As I said...
963
01:13:02,412 --> 01:13:04,426
...it is a pity she had to go.
964
01:13:04,605 --> 01:13:06,712
She grew tired of performing.
965
01:13:08,311 --> 01:13:10,199
You would never be rid of me.
966
01:13:10,878 --> 01:13:15,063
- Dan would never allow it.
- Well, I find, as keeper of Bunce...
967
01:13:15,678 --> 01:13:17,966
...that I can do as I please.
968
01:13:19,145 --> 01:13:20,681
Now...
969
01:13:21,310 --> 01:13:23,192
...you keep my secret...
970
01:13:23,272 --> 01:13:25,955
- ...and I'll keep yours.
- I have no secrets.
971
01:13:28,245 --> 01:13:30,168
You shall in a moment.
972
01:13:42,213 --> 01:13:44,400
He said I'm to return to him next Sunday...
973
01:13:45,578 --> 01:13:47,999
...and every Sunday hereafter.
974
01:13:48,079 --> 01:13:50,133
To do the same again?
975
01:13:50,682 --> 01:13:52,733
There's photographs.
976
01:13:53,712 --> 01:13:56,256
- John, I had to speak of it to somebody.
- This is monstrous, Lizzie!
977
01:13:56,336 --> 01:13:58,208
You can't tell a soul.
978
01:14:00,611 --> 01:14:03,067
I shall put a stop to this.
979
01:14:03,447 --> 01:14:05,337
But first...
980
01:14:06,313 --> 01:14:07,891
...I wish to do this.
981
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:13,426
He's robbed you of your honor.
Let me restore it to you.
982
01:14:15,512 --> 01:14:19,599
Uncle died three days
after John confronted him.
983
01:14:19,679 --> 01:14:22,999
Uncle was not young. He had a weak
heart and a fondness for drink.
984
01:14:23,079 --> 01:14:24,954
That's not what Dan Leno thinks.
985
01:14:25,134 --> 01:14:29,599
He thinks that John blackmailed Uncle
into changing his will and then killed him.
986
01:14:29,879 --> 01:14:32,561
£500 and the camera.
987
01:14:33,995 --> 01:14:36,609
It would seem I gave an excellent beating.
988
01:14:38,212 --> 01:14:41,250
You don't want to be saved, do you?
989
01:14:42,241 --> 01:14:44,223
Not by me.
990
01:14:44,303 --> 01:14:46,167
Not by any man.
991
01:14:47,246 --> 01:14:49,507
I don't deserve to be saved.
992
01:15:05,811 --> 01:15:07,332
John, I can't.
993
01:15:07,412 --> 01:15:09,832
What do you mean?
We're husband and wife now, Lizzie.
994
01:15:09,912 --> 01:15:13,316
- I know.
- Three years I've waited.
995
01:15:13,396 --> 01:15:16,699
Three years of courtship
and endless bloody engagement.
996
01:15:16,779 --> 01:15:20,133
It's hardly my fault that Panto
season extended 'til easter.
997
01:15:20,213 --> 01:15:23,032
Would you have had me spend
our wedding night playing Aladdin?
998
01:15:23,112 --> 01:15:25,366
It seems now that option
would've been scarcely different.
999
01:15:25,445 --> 01:15:28,666
- Please, John, just try to understand.
- No, you understand!
1000
01:15:29,545 --> 01:15:31,066
John, please, I don't like it.
1001
01:15:31,146 --> 01:15:33,333
I don't ask for gratitude
for all I've done for you.
1002
01:15:33,413 --> 01:15:37,641
All I ask is that you fulfill
your duties as a wife.
1003
01:15:51,086 --> 01:15:52,942
What are you doing here?
1004
01:15:55,379 --> 01:15:56,967
Hello.
1005
01:15:57,646 --> 01:15:59,632
- Hello.
- Hello.
1006
01:15:59,712 --> 01:16:03,493
I'll have a new contract drawn up
tomorrow, John John. But don't you worry.
1007
01:16:03,573 --> 01:16:06,432
- Lizzie!
- But don't you worry.
1008
01:16:06,812 --> 01:16:08,375
Lizzie.
1009
01:16:10,845 --> 01:16:12,398
Well, well.
1010
01:16:14,012 --> 01:16:17,333
If it isn't Mrs. John Cree.
1011
01:16:17,412 --> 01:16:21,266
Three months of married life and you're
missing the roar of the greasepaint already.
1012
01:16:21,346 --> 01:16:25,366
Oh, nonsense.
I've been too busy to miss anything.
1013
01:16:25,445 --> 01:16:30,218
What tosh! Little Lizzie without an audience.
1014
01:16:30,679 --> 01:16:33,532
You mustn't let that rotten man
order you about so.
1015
01:16:33,612 --> 01:16:35,999
John is perfectly happy for me to perform.
1016
01:16:36,079 --> 01:16:38,199
Still going to play the lead
in "Misery Junction."
1017
01:16:38,279 --> 01:16:39,789
Come of it, Lizzie.
1018
01:16:39,869 --> 01:16:43,706
That man's so petrified of failure
he'll never bring himself to finish it.
1019
01:16:43,786 --> 01:16:47,599
He's writing every day at the library.
It's almost complete.
1020
01:16:47,679 --> 01:16:50,099
I'm telling you as a friend, Lizzie.
1021
01:16:50,179 --> 01:16:53,399
Forget "Misery Junction." Forget John.
1022
01:16:53,679 --> 01:16:55,569
If you want your name etched in stone...
1023
01:16:55,649 --> 01:16:59,267
...you're gonna have to take up
the chisel yourself.
1024
01:17:00,146 --> 01:17:02,233
So, to what do we owe the pleasure?
1025
01:17:02,313 --> 01:17:04,584
I'm actually here to see Aveline.
1026
01:17:07,178 --> 01:17:09,666
I have a proposition for you, dear.
1027
01:17:09,746 --> 01:17:11,836
I'm in need of a ladies' maid.
1028
01:17:12,246 --> 01:17:13,746
Me?
1029
01:17:14,946 --> 01:17:16,296
You must be playing.
1030
01:17:16,375 --> 01:17:19,233
I can offer you twice the weekly
wage you're earning here.
1031
01:17:19,313 --> 01:17:22,799
What I require is some help
bearing the load of my...
1032
01:17:22,879 --> 01:17:24,699
...my wifely duties.
1033
01:17:24,779 --> 01:17:26,639
Dear God, Lizzie.
1034
01:17:49,377 --> 01:17:51,552
Do you know how John's play is coming along?
1035
01:17:51,632 --> 01:17:53,667
Very nicely, he tells me.
1036
01:17:54,446 --> 01:17:58,799
You know, there's no need for you
to prepare his nightly cordial, Lizzie.
1037
01:17:58,879 --> 01:18:00,732
I can do it.
1038
01:18:00,812 --> 01:18:03,832
I make one for myself.
It's no more effort to prepare two.
1039
01:18:03,912 --> 01:18:06,066
I'd be happy to make both.
1040
01:18:06,146 --> 01:18:10,821
I could bring yours to your quarters
before I take John's to his.
1041
01:19:56,878 --> 01:19:58,993
- What on earth are you doing here?
- I should ask you the same thing...
1042
01:19:59,073 --> 01:20:01,699
...because I know what it is
you're not doing, and that is writing.
1043
01:20:01,779 --> 01:20:04,399
Why tell me "Misery Junction" was not
finished when it was hardly even begun?
1044
01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:08,529
It was! It's nearly complete.
I've just put it aside for now.
1045
01:20:08,609 --> 01:20:13,066
Put it aside? I support you financially.
I allow that your every need is met!
1046
01:20:13,146 --> 01:20:18,066
Don't pillory me about my damn play
if what really irks you is Aveline.
1047
01:20:18,146 --> 01:20:20,233
Why would that irk me?
1048
01:20:21,662 --> 01:20:25,066
Go home, Lizzie. Let me finish my research.
1049
01:20:25,145 --> 01:20:28,432
Your research? Into what?
1050
01:20:28,512 --> 01:20:31,367
My play. My new play.
1051
01:20:32,646 --> 01:20:34,732
But what of "Misery Junction"?
1052
01:20:34,812 --> 01:20:37,499
I grew tired of Katherine Dove.
1053
01:20:37,839 --> 01:20:39,799
Is there a role in it for me?
1054
01:20:39,879 --> 01:20:42,599
No, Lizzie. There is not.
1055
01:20:42,679 --> 01:20:44,765
You're a lady now...
1056
01:20:44,845 --> 01:20:47,341
...and the stage is no place for a lady.
1057
01:20:55,189 --> 01:20:58,729
You staged it without permission
and it was poorly received.
1058
01:20:58,809 --> 01:21:02,232
"'Misery Junction' leaves
audience in misery, indeed."
1059
01:21:02,612 --> 01:21:06,410
Isn't it funny how the savage reviews are
the ones you can recall word for word?
1060
01:21:11,811 --> 01:21:14,756
- More! More!
- Uncle, please.
1061
01:21:14,836 --> 01:21:17,626
You have stolen my honor! I am innocent!
1062
01:21:17,706 --> 01:21:20,432
You wish to be a man?
Just pretend that I'm a women!
1063
01:21:20,512 --> 01:21:23,666
It's Lizzie they're mocking, John.
It's not your play.
1064
01:21:23,746 --> 01:21:26,999
You lie! This was not for me!
This was for you!
1065
01:21:27,079 --> 01:21:29,718
You wish to prove yourself
as an actress, you selfish whore...
1066
01:21:29,798 --> 01:21:32,590
- ...and you failed even at that!
- You are the failure.
1067
01:21:32,946 --> 01:21:34,899
- Jesus!
- See?
1068
01:21:34,979 --> 01:21:37,799
Where's the White Knight now, John?
You are just as all men.
1069
01:21:37,879 --> 01:21:41,491
One more word from your mouth
and I will snap your wretched neck!
1070
01:21:41,571 --> 01:21:42,832
John, go home.
1071
01:21:42,912 --> 01:21:45,606
My play was unfinished and you destroyed it!
1072
01:21:45,686 --> 01:21:48,268
Destroyed me and my reputation!
1073
01:21:48,348 --> 01:21:51,165
You don't have a reputation!
Who do you believe yourself to be?
1074
01:21:51,245 --> 01:21:54,699
You are nobody, John, nobody,
and you never will be!
1075
01:21:54,779 --> 01:21:57,600
Get out of here, John. Out!
1076
01:21:59,178 --> 01:22:01,899
Look at you both. You're clowns.
1077
01:22:01,979 --> 01:22:03,846
Worthless clowns.
1078
01:22:03,926 --> 01:22:07,065
You're the ones who'll be forgotten, not me.
1079
01:22:07,145 --> 01:22:08,588
Not me.
1080
01:22:14,512 --> 01:22:15,966
- John?
- Drive on.
1081
01:22:16,045 --> 01:22:17,732
- John.
- Giddyup!
1082
01:22:17,812 --> 01:22:19,232
John.
1083
01:22:19,312 --> 01:22:20,833
John.
1084
01:22:21,712 --> 01:22:22,746
John!
1085
01:22:22,826 --> 01:22:25,845
That opening night, September the 5th,
it drove him over the edge...
1086
01:22:25,925 --> 01:22:30,025
...but not to suicide. It drove him to
prove to the world that he was an artist.
1087
01:22:30,105 --> 01:22:34,265
That night, the Golem made his first kill,
and you think it's your fault.
1088
01:22:34,345 --> 01:22:37,098
- You're putting words in my mouth.
- Why this dance, Lizzie?
1089
01:22:37,178 --> 01:22:41,028
Why won't you admit that you came to know
or at least suspect what he'd become?
1090
01:22:41,108 --> 01:22:45,534
- If this is a dance, it is you who is leading.
- Let me read you the last entry.
1091
01:22:46,812 --> 01:22:49,232
"Ratcliffe Highway was a tour de force.
1092
01:22:49,312 --> 01:22:52,619
And as an actor may take home
a program as a souvenir...
1093
01:22:52,699 --> 01:22:57,265
...so I returned with a blood-soaked shawl
belonging to the clothes seller's wife.
1094
01:22:57,345 --> 01:23:01,275
The next night, fearful of discovery,
I ventured to destroy it...
1095
01:23:01,355 --> 01:23:03,835
...and therein lay my mistake.
1096
01:23:08,077 --> 01:23:11,065
John, you're home. I didn't hear you come in.
1097
01:23:19,011 --> 01:23:23,154
There were no questions asked,
no recriminations.
1098
01:23:32,177 --> 01:23:35,641
I believe a homemade punishment
may be planned for me instead.
1099
01:23:58,477 --> 01:24:01,129
I no longer feel safe under my own roof.
1100
01:24:03,611 --> 01:24:05,693
I cannot go on like this.
1101
01:24:09,178 --> 01:24:11,204
You poisoned him, didn't you?
1102
01:24:14,579 --> 01:24:16,899
Lizzie, listen to me. We have a few minutes.
1103
01:24:16,978 --> 01:24:20,235
You can still change your plea. Confess.
You did it because you knew what he was.
1104
01:24:20,315 --> 01:24:22,486
You did it because
you were in fear for your life.
1105
01:24:22,566 --> 01:24:24,506
I promise you'll have
the sympathy of the jury.
1106
01:24:24,586 --> 01:24:27,998
- I don't want their sympathy.
- Why do you not deserve redemption?
1107
01:24:28,078 --> 01:24:30,699
Because you killed him or because
you believe you created a monster?
1108
01:24:30,779 --> 01:24:32,563
What I deserve is to live freely...
1109
01:24:32,643 --> 01:24:35,357
...and in death be remembered for
my accomplishments, not as the wife...
1110
01:24:35,437 --> 01:24:38,699
...who poisoned her husband,
my name forever tethered to his.
1111
01:24:39,378 --> 01:24:41,206
Mrs. Cree.
1112
01:24:42,145 --> 01:24:45,364
While that chance remains,
I have no choice but to cling to it.
1113
01:24:52,311 --> 01:24:54,245
Have the jury reached a verdict?
1114
01:24:55,044 --> 01:24:58,995
- Yes, My Lord.
- How do the jury find the defendant?
1115
01:24:59,075 --> 01:25:00,699
Guilty.
1116
01:25:01,278 --> 01:25:04,516
Order! Order!
1117
01:25:04,746 --> 01:25:06,613
Elizabeth Cree...
1118
01:25:06,693 --> 01:25:11,679
...you will be returned to prison and taken
from there to a place of execution...
1119
01:25:11,759 --> 01:25:15,115
...where at 10:00 tomorrow morning,
you will be hanged by the neck...
1120
01:25:15,195 --> 01:25:16,998
...until you are dead.
1121
01:25:17,078 --> 01:25:19,799
May the Lord have mercy on your soul.
1122
01:25:19,878 --> 01:25:23,507
Inspector Kildare, Scotland Yard.
I need a moment with her, please.
1123
01:25:27,281 --> 01:25:29,998
- You don't deserve this.
- It's done. I hang tomorrow at 10:00.
1124
01:25:30,078 --> 01:25:33,098
No. I won't let it happen.
John Cree was a murderer.
1125
01:25:33,178 --> 01:25:37,675
I mean to prove it and appeal for your
pardon. The world needs to know the truth.
1126
01:25:43,578 --> 01:25:45,632
I'd like for you to unmask the Golem.
1127
01:25:45,712 --> 01:25:48,749
This is your moment, your chance.
I'd like for you to have that.
1128
01:25:48,828 --> 01:25:51,106
I'm sorry, sir. We need to leave.
1129
01:25:53,277 --> 01:25:54,832
We don't have much time.
1130
01:25:54,912 --> 01:25:58,105
The manuscript of "Misery Junction"
is handwritten. Dan may still have it.
1131
01:25:58,185 --> 01:26:01,274
I shall stop this. I promise you.
1132
01:26:05,878 --> 01:26:07,902
You filthy...
1133
01:26:23,444 --> 01:26:25,661
Here we are again!
1134
01:26:27,810 --> 01:26:30,099
Lizzie paid for the hire of the theater.
1135
01:26:30,179 --> 01:26:33,466
I advised her against it,
but she was adamant.
1136
01:26:33,546 --> 01:26:35,741
And it was not a success.
1137
01:26:36,778 --> 01:26:38,998
That's putting it mildly.
1138
01:26:39,078 --> 01:26:41,265
So put it any way that you will.
1139
01:26:41,345 --> 01:26:45,666
Barely any tickets sold,
but Lizzie insisted on a full house...
1140
01:26:45,746 --> 01:26:49,147
...so she took to the streets
and gave them away to the poor.
1141
01:26:59,410 --> 01:27:02,241
Here it is. "Misery Junction."
1142
01:27:06,778 --> 01:27:09,032
It's typeset.
1143
01:27:09,112 --> 01:27:12,102
Oh, I don't have the original
manuscript, I'm afraid.
1144
01:27:12,182 --> 01:27:16,030
A usual practice is to have it archived,
unless the author asks for it back...
1145
01:27:16,110 --> 01:27:18,952
- ...which he didn't.
- Archived... where?
1146
01:27:19,412 --> 01:27:22,165
The librarian agreed to open up early, sir.
1147
01:27:22,245 --> 01:27:24,065
He should be here any moment.
1148
01:27:24,145 --> 01:27:27,612
I pray he is. They hang her at 10:00.
1149
01:27:45,612 --> 01:27:47,182
Lizzie!
1150
01:27:53,045 --> 01:27:54,907
Lizzie!
1151
01:28:01,245 --> 01:28:02,831
Lizzie.
1152
01:28:02,911 --> 01:28:04,786
I'm ready.
1153
01:28:17,711 --> 01:28:20,298
But this is most odd. Should be here.
1154
01:28:20,378 --> 01:28:22,432
Could someone have withdrawn it?
1155
01:28:22,512 --> 01:28:24,798
Not unless they did so just now.
1156
01:28:25,388 --> 01:28:28,137
- Quickly, the door.
- Sir!
1157
01:28:33,644 --> 01:28:35,265
Unhand me! I've done nothing wrong.
1158
01:28:35,345 --> 01:28:38,188
Then perhaps you can tell us
why the hurry to obtain this?
1159
01:28:38,268 --> 01:28:41,572
I plan to rewrite it, sir.
Demand a production.
1160
01:28:41,651 --> 01:28:46,532
A topical shocker about Lizzie Cree.
Now she's to be hanged, it'll be a smash.
1161
01:28:46,612 --> 01:28:48,998
Really? So you're a writer now,
are you, Miss Ortega?
1162
01:28:49,078 --> 01:28:52,499
No, sir. But it won't require much work.
1163
01:28:52,579 --> 01:28:54,665
It was the story of her life, after all.
1164
01:28:54,745 --> 01:28:57,998
My idea is to begin the play
at the Gallows...
1165
01:28:58,078 --> 01:29:00,165
...then retrace each step
that led her to them.
1166
01:29:00,245 --> 01:29:04,369
I cannot help but think that the addition
of a murderous husband might be popular.
1167
01:29:04,449 --> 01:29:06,740
I told you all I know, sir.
1168
01:29:07,612 --> 01:29:09,358
John is innocent.
1169
01:29:45,027 --> 01:29:48,332
- Jesus!
- You're the ones who'll be forgotten!
1170
01:29:48,412 --> 01:29:50,220
Not me.
1171
01:29:56,478 --> 01:29:58,498
Is it time?
1172
01:29:58,577 --> 01:29:59,998
There's no one here.
1173
01:30:00,078 --> 01:30:04,658
They hardly ever admit the public these
days, Mrs. Cree. Only for the most hated.
1174
01:30:04,738 --> 01:30:08,526
Please, no. You must help me.
Please. Please tell them to wait.
1175
01:30:08,605 --> 01:30:10,962
- Inspector Kildare is coming.
- I'm sorry.
1176
01:30:11,312 --> 01:30:13,333
Can't you go any faster?
1177
01:30:13,413 --> 01:30:15,698
- Prison's just around the corner.
- I know!
1178
01:30:15,778 --> 01:30:18,769
No, we must wait for him, please.
This is wrong! He will prove it!
1179
01:30:18,849 --> 01:30:22,126
- I beg you, just a little longer!
- I'm sorry.
1180
01:30:26,977 --> 01:30:28,543
Come on!
1181
01:30:53,327 --> 01:30:55,173
Coming through.
1182
01:31:00,676 --> 01:31:04,199
- Steady, sir. Who are you here for?
- Elizabeth Cree. Say I'm not too late.
1183
01:31:04,279 --> 01:31:06,720
They're just taking her down.
Quick as you can.
1184
01:31:07,678 --> 01:31:09,543
Send for the magistrate!
1185
01:31:13,578 --> 01:31:15,927
Stop! Stop!
1186
01:31:26,107 --> 01:31:29,952
Don't thank me yet. All they've given me is
an hour's grace to speak to the magistrate.
1187
01:31:30,032 --> 01:31:32,232
I've still to convince him
to reduce your sentence.
1188
01:31:32,312 --> 01:31:35,565
Don't be glum. You have the Golem.
1189
01:31:35,645 --> 01:31:39,095
The world will know
the real story, and it's you...
1190
01:31:39,175 --> 01:31:43,259
...you who will know
every chapter, who will tell it.
1191
01:31:43,678 --> 01:31:46,702
- You have my gratitude. Always.
- And you mine.
1192
01:31:53,710 --> 01:31:56,241
Lizzie, Lizzie, don't.
1193
01:32:00,710 --> 01:32:03,065
Could any believe John Cree
capable of such deeds?
1194
01:32:03,145 --> 01:32:05,132
I guarantee it.
1195
01:32:05,212 --> 01:32:07,240
Have no doubt.
1196
01:32:09,644 --> 01:32:11,707
Then let us bring this to an end.
1197
01:32:17,877 --> 01:32:20,266
Here's what you will write.
1198
01:32:20,346 --> 01:32:24,565
"I am Elizabeth Cree,
and in September of this year...
1199
01:32:24,645 --> 01:32:27,261
...I came to know that my husband...
1200
01:32:27,341 --> 01:32:29,063
...was the Limehouse Golem."
1201
01:32:29,312 --> 01:32:31,740
All you need to do is tell the truth.
1202
01:32:34,144 --> 01:32:37,182
I have never told you anything
but the truth, Kildare.
1203
01:33:18,595 --> 01:33:20,840
You shall have your moment, and I mine.
1204
01:33:24,584 --> 01:33:28,820
In the temple of fame, our names will be
written side-by-side in stone for all time.
1205
01:33:38,111 --> 01:33:40,199
Who was here on September the 24th?
1206
01:33:40,279 --> 01:33:42,631
There were four men
in the reading room that day...
1207
01:33:42,711 --> 01:33:46,540
...but there's no earthly way of knowing
what anyone read or when they read it.
1208
01:33:50,944 --> 01:33:54,377
John. You're home. I didn't hear you come in.
1209
01:33:57,977 --> 01:34:01,999
There were no questions asked,
no recriminations.
1210
01:34:02,578 --> 01:34:05,627
I believe a homemade punishment
may be planned for me instead.
1211
01:34:07,910 --> 01:34:10,078
I no longer feel safe under my own roof.
1212
01:34:10,677 --> 01:34:12,707
I cannot go on like this.
1213
01:34:15,644 --> 01:34:18,202
Still, we had agreement
to keep each other's secrets.
1214
01:34:18,282 --> 01:34:21,985
And you didn't keep mine, did you?
I wonder what I should do with yours.
1215
01:34:22,065 --> 01:34:24,306
I think you should take it to the grave.
1216
01:35:00,645 --> 01:35:02,373
Mr. Gerrard, sir?
1217
01:35:18,645 --> 01:35:20,174
Annie?
1218
01:35:38,377 --> 01:35:43,084
I know, I know. Few would think
a woman capable of such artistry.
1219
01:36:04,810 --> 01:36:06,896
Here we are again!
1220
01:36:53,110 --> 01:36:54,940
You were too late?
1221
01:36:57,476 --> 01:37:01,098
This... this is probably the last thing
you want at present...
1222
01:37:01,177 --> 01:37:03,260
...but they're waiting for you downstairs.
1223
01:37:05,045 --> 01:37:07,540
You're about to be the toast of London, John.
1224
01:37:14,343 --> 01:37:16,831
I know how much you cared for her.
1225
01:37:16,911 --> 01:37:18,465
Just...
1226
01:37:19,344 --> 01:37:21,756
...know how grateful she would be
that the world will know...
1227
01:37:21,836 --> 01:37:24,798
...what her bastard husband really was.
1228
01:37:24,878 --> 01:37:29,701
Not just as a murderer, but as a man who
sought to deny her all she wanted to be.
1229
01:37:29,781 --> 01:37:32,256
It's you who saved her honor.
1230
01:37:34,443 --> 01:37:36,273
Her memory.
1231
01:37:38,510 --> 01:37:40,974
She would've wanted you to have this.
1232
01:37:58,744 --> 01:38:01,589
No! We must wait for him. Please!
This is wrong, he will prove it!
1233
01:38:01,669 --> 01:38:04,709
- I beg you, just a little longer!
- I...
1234
01:38:05,745 --> 01:38:10,296
I don't believe Inspector Kildare
will be coming back.
1235
01:38:15,950 --> 01:38:18,688
- I am not a poisoner.
- I believe you.
1236
01:38:18,768 --> 01:38:20,665
I am so much more.
1237
01:38:20,745 --> 01:38:26,147
We shall be issuing our full report
on John Cree in an hour, gentlemen.
1238
01:38:26,227 --> 01:38:29,098
Well, it seems the show must go on.
1239
01:38:30,077 --> 01:38:33,898
Londoners can sleep easy in their beds again.
1240
01:38:33,978 --> 01:38:35,831
The Golem is no more.
1241
01:38:35,911 --> 01:38:39,577
Inspector! Inspector,
any comments on your promotion, sir?
1242
01:38:42,331 --> 01:38:45,440
- Any last words?
- Here we are again!
1243
01:40:09,173 --> 01:40:10,977
Let us begin...
1244
01:40:11,057 --> 01:40:12,906
...my friends...
1245
01:40:13,544 --> 01:40:15,386
...at the end.
1246
01:41:08,976 --> 01:41:13,578
Not the green, love, the red.
Mother doesn't get sick until scene four.
1247
01:41:21,159 --> 01:41:23,006
Did anyone check the safety?
1248
01:41:34,343 --> 01:41:36,573
Take her weight. Take...
1249
01:41:40,743 --> 01:41:42,598
What's going on?
1250
01:41:43,477 --> 01:41:45,072
Is she breathing?
1251
01:41:50,810 --> 01:41:53,014
We have to get back out there.
1252
01:41:54,956 --> 01:41:56,980
You're Lizzie's mother now.
1253
01:42:11,410 --> 01:42:12,859
I'll be Lizzie.
1254
01:42:52,194 --> 01:42:53,737
Lizzie!
