[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]

[HORSES HOOVES]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

[FOOTSTEPS RETREATING]

Did you call the Police?

No, only you like you said

[LADY] KEEP WATCH.

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC INTENSIFIES]

-[MUSICAL STAB]
-[WOMAN GROANS] THIEF!

I'M NOT THIEF.
I'M A PRIVATE DETECTIVE.

YEAH,
AND I'M A HIGH COURT JUDGE.

-YOU STOLE MY EYE.
-I CAME UPON IT,

WHILST EXAMINING WHAT
I THOUGHT WAS A CRIME SCENE.

CAN WE NOT DISCUSS THIS
IN A MORE CIVILIZED MANNER?

[SCREAMS] I'M GOING TO MAKE
YOU WISH YOU'D NEVER BEEN BORN.

I WILL GLADLY RETURN YOUR EYE.

-[GASPS]
-[GROANS]

[HORSE WHINNIES]

[LADY] I WANTED DEAD, NOT DRUNK.

NEXT TIME,
CHECK FOR A PULSE FIRST.

[GASPS]

MRS. PARKER, MR. PARKER. I WASN'T
EXPECTING YOUR DELIGHTFUL COMPANY.

WE CAME TO SEE YOUR FATHER.

BUT FOUND NEITHER HE,
NOR YOU, AT HOME.

IS IT SOMETHING
I COULD HELP WITH?

IT IS A QUESTION
RUPERT WISHES TO
ASK YOUR FATHER...

IN PRIVATE.

MY FATHER'S WORKING.

YOU APPEAR RATHER RUFFLED,
MISS SCARLET.
ARE YOU QUITE WELL?

VERY. THANK YOU, MRS. PARKER.

IT'S DUE TO NOTHING MORE
THAN A BRISK MORNING WALK.

THE STREETS OF LONDON
AREN'T WHAT THEY WERE.

IF A LADY MUST WALK,
SHE SHOULD BE
IN THE COMPANY OF A GENTLEMAN,

TO PROTECT HER.

MORE TEA?

I WOULD NOT WANT TO PUT YOU
TO ANY MORE TROUBLE,
MISS SCARLET.

SPEAK UP, RUPERT,
AND ANNUNCIATE.

-I WOULD NOT--
-I WILL TAKE MORE TEA.
RUPERT WILL NOT.

-VERY WELL.
-[RUPERT] THANK YOU.

THE CITY HAS CHANGED
SINCE I WAS A GIRL.

THE CRIME, THE FILTH,
THE GENERAL MIASMA OF
LOOSE MORALITY.

AND THOSE CONTRAPTIONS,
WHAT ARE THEY CALLED?

IS IT BICYCLES, MOTHER?

I SEE YOUNG LADIES
RIDING THOSE THINGS,

BRAZEN AS YOU LIKE.

I AGREE...

A LADY SHOULD ALWAYS
ACT LIKE A LADY.

MILK AND SUGAR?

[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

Well thank you for your visit

it's been most enjoyable

WE WILL CALL AGAIN ON TUESDAY.

PLEASE ENSURE
YOUR FATHER IS PRESENT.

RUPERT'S EXTREMELY KEEN
TO SPEAK WITH HIM.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, TO YOU.

I WILL DO WHAT I CAN,
MRS. PARKER,

BUT MY FATHER
IS A VERY BUSY MAN.

CHASING CRIMINALS IS
NO JOB FOR A GENTLEMAN.

IT SHOULD BE LEFT TO THE POLICE.

IVY, COULD YOU SEE MRS. PARKER
AND HER SON OUT, PLEASE?

OF COURSE.

COME ALONG, RUPERT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

[SIGHS]

WHY DO YOU DO THESE THINGS?

PLEASE, DO NOT TELL FATHER.

IVY, IF I CAN SHOW HIM
MY SKILL AND ABILITY--

HE WILL NEVER ALLOW YOU
TO WORK WITH HIM.

NOW, STAY STILL.

[DOOR LATCH RATTLES]

YOU TOOK YOUR TIME, GIRL.

WHERE'S THE PORK?

[KITTY] THAT MISER, MR. MEEKINS,

REFUSED TO SELL ANY TO ME.

HE SAID OUR ACCOUNT IS OVERDUE.

NO MORE DELIVERIES
UNTIL WE SETTLE IT.

SHOUTED AT ME IN FRONT
OF THE WHOLE STORE.

THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT.

THE COAL MAN AND THE BAKER
NEED PAYING, TOO.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

GUTEN MORGEN, FRAULEIN SCARLET.

GOOD MORNING,HERRHILDEGARD.
HAVE YOU... SEEN MY FATHER?

NOT FOR A FEW DAYS.

BUT THEN,
I'VE BEEN RUSHED OFF MY FEET.

PEOPLE ARE DROPPING
LIKE FLIES THIS WEEK.

SAD OF COURSE...BUT VERY GOOD FOR BUSINESS

I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.

FATHER?

[GLASS CLINKS]

-[KNOCK]
-YEAH?

DUKE, MISS SCARLET'S HERE.

[DUKE] TELL HER
I'M IN A MEETING.

SHE SAID YOU'D SAY THAT,

SHE INSISTED ON
WAITING OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR.

I THINK SHE HEARD THIS EXCHANGE.

SHE DID HEAR THIS EXCHANGE.

[FOOTSTEPS]

-WILLIAM.
-ELIZA.

TO WHAT DO I OWE THIS PLEASURE?

IT'S MY FATHER,
HE DIDN'T COME HOME LAST NIGHT.

HENRY IS A GROWN MAN,

AND I'M SURE
WORKING ONE OF HIS CASES.

IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME,

I MUST GET BACK TO ENSURING
THE STREETS OF LONDON

ARE SAFE FOR LADIES
SUCH AS YOURSELF.

WHEREVER HENRY IS,

HE IS PERFECTLY CAPABLE
OF LOOKING AFTER HIMSELF.

LET'S NOT FORGET THAT
HE IS A HIGHLY-TRAINED
POLICE OFFICER.

A RETIRED POLICE OFFICER,

MEANT TO BE RUNNING A
BUSINESS, NOT DRINKING AWAY
THE PROFITS.

THIS IS MORE ABOUT MONEY,
THAN DAUGHTERLY LOVE?

MY HOUSEHOLD IS
RELIANT ON MY FATHER.

WE BOTH KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING
YOU'RE WORKING ON.

I KNOW OF YOUR LITTLE HOBBY...

PAYING STREET BOYS FOR
TIP-OFFS OF CRIME SCENES.

BEING A DETECTIVE IS
A JOB FOR A MAN, ELIZA.

AND YET, YOU DO IT
EVERY DAY, WILLIAM.

NICE AS THIS IS, I HAVE
MANY CASES TO ATTEND TO...

I CAN SEE HOW BUSY YOU ARE.

YOU'VE STILL SOAP ON YOUR NECK.

AN ARSON ATTACK, IN THE CITY'S
LARGEST OPIUM DEN.

SIX SCHOOLGIRLS SMUGGLED
TO THE CONTINENT
FOR BROTHEL FODDER.

AND A DEAD MAN FLOATING
IN REGENT'S PARK CANAL,

WITH HIS THROAT
SLIT, EAT TO EAR.

I'VE SEEN NEATER CUTS
FROM A ONE-ARMED BUTCHER.

A LADY SHOULD NOT
SEE SUCH THINGS.

WITH HIS POCKET WATCH
STILL ON HIS PERSON,

IT'S NOT THE WORK OF
A COMMON THIEF.

-OH...
-I'D SAY IT'S A CRIME
OF PASSION BY A SCORNED WOMAN.

THE RASH ON THE SOLES
OF HIS FEET SUGGESTS
LATTER-STAGE OF SYPHILIS.

-[GROANS]
-HIS MISTRESS, PERHAPS.
BUT MORE LIKELY HIS WIFE.

-[GRUNTS]
-I'M SURE YOU'VE
ALREADY CONSIDERED THIS.

OF COURSE... I HAVE.

GOOD DAY, WILLIAM.

FRANK!

BRING IN THE WIFE
FOR QUESTIONING.

MR. SCARLET IS IN
THE DRAWING ROOM.

WHAT'S HAPPENED?

FATHER?

ELIZA, THIS IS DR. EDWARDS.

HE FOUND MR. SCARLET
COLLAPSED IN THE STREET

-AND BROUGHT HIM HOME.
-THANK YOU, DOCTOR.

MY FATHER'S BEEN
DRINKING EXCESSIVELY OF LATE.

-FETCH SOME STRONG COFFEE.
-[DOCTOR] HE'S NOT DRUNK...

HE'S HAD A CARDIAC ARREST.

I'M SORRY TO SAY HE HAS PASSED.

[VICAR]THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE
VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH,

I WILL FEAR NO EVIL,
FOR YOU ARE WITH ME.

YOUR ROD AND YOUR STAFF, THEY COMFORT ME

AND MERCY SHALL FOLLOW ME
ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE.

AND I SHALL DWELL IN THE
HOUSE OF THE LORD, FOREVER.

[MELANCOLIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[DUKE] ELIZA...

YOUR FATHER WASN'T
JUST MY MENTOR.

HE WAS MY DEAR FRIEND.

OVER THE YEARS WE TALKED
SOMETIMES ABOUT HIM
LOSING YOUR MOTHER.

HE HOPED THAT TIME WOULD
GIVE HIM SOME DISTANCE
FROM HER MEMORY...

I THINK THAT
THE OPPOSITE WAS TRUE.

THE OLDER HE GOT,
THE MORE HE MISSED HER.

WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS,
IT MIGHT HELP YOU TO THINK
OF THEM AS REUNITED.

I MISS HER AS MUCH AS HE DID.

NOW HE'S LEFT ME
COMPLETELY ALONE.

THERE'S A MAN HERE
ASKING FOR YOUR FATHER.

[KITTY] I DIDN'T
KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

SEND HIM IN.

[KITTY] THIS WAY PLEASE, SIR.

-GOOD AFTERNOON, MR...
-WINTERS... ALFRED WINTERS.

I BELIEVE YOU WISH
TO SEE MY... FATHER.

I'M AFRAID TO SAY THERES...

DON'T TELL ME HE'S NOT HERE,
EITHER. I WAITED A FULL HOUR
OUTSIDE HIS OFFICE.

HE DIDN'T TURN UP FOR OUR
APPOINTMENT. WELL, NO MATTER.

I AM SURE THERE ARE
MANY PRIVATE DETECTIVES
IN THIS CITY

WHO'D LIKE TO TAKE MY MONEY.

GOOD DAY, MISS SCARLET.

MY FATHER'S WORKING AN
EXTREMELY HIGH-PROFILE CASE.

A GOVERNMENT BUSINESS.

I'M SURE HE'D WANT ME TO TAKE
THE DETAILS OF YOUR CASE
TO PASS TO HIM.

I'M NOT AT EASE DISCUSSING
MY BUSINESS WITH A LADY.

I DO UNDERSTAND

BUT, LET ME ASSURE YOU,
I'LL SIMPLY PASS THE
INFORMATION ON TO MY FATHER.

I HAVE DISCOVERED
I'M IN POOR HEALTH.

I AM NOT SURE HOW MUCH
LONGER I HAVE LEFT.

AS SUCH, I WISH TO BE
REUNITED WITH MY NIECE...

CLARA SIMMS.

MY PARENTS ARE DECEASED,
SO I RAISED CLARA ALONE.

I DID NOT APPROVE
OF HER MARRIAGE CHOICE.
THE MAN WAS A SCOUNDREL.

SO THEY ELOPED AND
I HAVE NOT SEEN HER SINCE.

THE LAST I HEARD...

SHE WAS WORKING IN
THAT CESSPIT THAT IS SOHO.

I DREAD TO THINK HOW
SHE IS MAKING ENDS MEET.

YOU MUST FEEL
EXTREMELY DISTRESSED.

HOW I FEEL IS IRRELEVANT.

A MAN WOULD NOT ASK
SUCH A QUESTION.

TELL MR. SCARLET I'M STAYING
AT THE CAVENDISH HOTEL,

AND THAT I EXPECT TO SEE HIM
TOMORROW MORNING AT TEN,

TO DISCUSS THIS FURTHER.

GOOD DAY.

WELL... AS YOU CAN SEE, ELIZA,

OUR FRIEND HERE
IS ALREADY WAKING UP.

HOWEVER...
IF WE'D ADDED TWO MORE
DROPS OF CHLOROFORM

WHAT WOULD'VE BEEN THE OUTCOME?

[HESITATES] DIFFICULTY
BREATHING... PARALYSIS,
AND POSSIBLY DEATH.

GOOD. AND IF A CRIMINAL WISHED
TO BE MORE SURREPTITIOUS
IN THEIR POISONING,

-WHAT MIGHT THEY CHOOSE?
-A TINCTURE OF LAUDANUM,

WHICH, IF TAKEN IN A LARGE
ENOUGH DOSE, COULD RENDER THE
VICTIM UNCONSCIOUS.

AND IF DEATH IS THE AIM?

ARSENIC, WHICH IS UNDETECTABLE.

UNLESS...?

UNLESS ONE USES THE MARSH TEST,

DEVELOPED BY
JAMES MARSH IN 1836.

-[SIGHS]
-[GUFFAWS]

I THINK WE SHOULD GIVE
OUR FRIEND A NAME.
HOW ABOUT... MISS DAWKINS?

AFTER MY TEACHER?

ALL GOD'S CREATURES
DESERVE A NAME, MY GIRL.

AND YOU CAN'T DENY
THE SIMILARITIES.

[GUFFAWS]

HELLO. THERE WE GO.
MISS DAWKINS! [GROANS]

[MR. SCARLET CHUCKLES] GET IN.

[MELANCOLIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[KITTY] DINNER'S READY, MISS.

I DON'T WANT ANY DINNER,

BUT I WANT YOU
TO FETCH ME A CAB.

BUT THE SUN IS GOING DOWN.

YOU CAN'T GO OUT ALONE.
WHAT'LL PEOPLE THINK?

LET THEM THINK WHAT THEY LIKE.

I'VE SET THE TABLE
IN THE DINING ROOM,

BUT WOULD YOU RATHER
EAT WITH US?

-WHAT'S GOING ON?
-MISS SCARLET
IS GOING OUT... ALONE.

I SAID "GO AND GET ME A CAB."

YOU CAN'T GO OUT ALONE.

IT'LL BE DARK SOON,
IT'S DANGEROUS.

-KITTY...
-KITTY, DO NOT MOVE.

YOU'RE GOING TO FIND THAT NIECE.

-YOU SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS.
-YOU SHOULD NOT BE
LISTENING AT DOORS.

I SHALL GET MY OWN CAB.

ELIZA, THIS IS NOT THE TIME
TO FULFILL YOUR AMBITION.

WORD WILL SOON SPREAD
THAT MY FATHER HAS DIED.

AND ANY DAY NOW...

OUR ACCOUNTS WILL BE CALLED IN.

IF I DON'T TAKE THIS CASE,
SOMEONE ELSE WILL.

THIS ISN'T ABOUT AMBITION, IVY.
IT'S ABOUT MONEY.

TRUST ME...

I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

HELLO MISS

ARE YOU SURE YOU KNOW WHERE HE IS?

THE PADRE KNOWS EVERYONE MISS

[PADRE] BEHOLD, THE DAY
OF THE LORD COMETH,

CRUEL BOTH WITH WRATH
AND FIERCE ANGER,

TO LAY THE LAND DESOLATE,
WHERE HE SHALL
DESTROY THE SINNER.

PADRE, THIS IS THE LADY
I WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT.

AND BABYLON,
THE GLORY OF KINGDOMS,

SHALL BE AS WHEN GOD OVERTHREW
SODOM AND GOMORRAH.

[CLINK]

SHE NEEDS TO FIND THIS LADY...
CLARA SIMMS.

WHEN I AM IN NEED,
I TURN TO MOSES.

-SO, YOU DO NOT KNOW HER?
-TRUST IN MOSES.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

AND GOD OVERTHREW
SODOM... [GROANING]

[UPBEAT PIANO MUSIC]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

GET YOUR HANDS OFF
ME! [GROANING]

-[THUD]
-[LAUGHTER]

GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!

[THUD,CRASH]

EXCUSE ME.

-MY MISTAKE.
-DON'T I KNOW YOU?

-I DON'T THINK SO.
-I NEVER FORGET A FACE.

WELL... IN THAT CASE...

-DO YOU RECOGNIZE THIS WOMAN?
-NO IDEA.

ASK MOSES. HE'LL KNOW.

YOU'RE ON IN FIVE
MINUTES, LADIES.

[DANCER]ALRIGHT.

GET A MOVE ON OR YOU'LL
FEEL MY BOOT ON YOUR ARSE.

[DANCER]YOU DON'T
HAVE TO SHOUT.

[MOSES] GO AWAY!

-MR. MOSES, ISN'T IT?
-WHO'S ASKING?

I'M MISS SCARLET.

I'M LOOKING FOR A CHORUS GIRL...

CLARA SIMMS?

I'M A PRIVATE DETECTIVE,
HIRED TO FIND HER.

[LAUGHS]

IT'S MY JOB TO PROTECT
THE GIRLS FROM PUNTERS

WHO STEP OUT OF LINE.

IT'S NOT MY JOB
TO HELP SOME SILLY TART

PLAYING PRIVATE DETECTIVE.

AM I TO UNDERSTAND
YOU DO NOT WISH

TO EARN MONEY IN RETURN
FOR SOME BASIC INFORMATION?

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

MONEY FIRST.

-[GASPS] WHAT?
-NOW GET OUT!

SURELY WE CAN COME
TO AN ARRANGEMENT

THAT'LL BENEFIT US BOTH.

YOU'RE NOT MY TYPE, GIRL.

YOU'RE TOO SKINNY.

I WAS NOT SUGGESTING
ANYTHING UNTOWARD.

THEN AGAIN...

HOW ABOUT I SHOW YOU WHAT US

SKINNY GIRLS CAN DO, MR. MOSES?

IT'S JUST MOSES.

AND YOU'RE STILL NOT GETTING
YOUR MONEY BACK.

-YES, I AM.
-[GROANS]

[MOSES GRUNTS]

BITCH!

-GIVE ME BACK MY PURSE!
-COME HERE AND GET IT!

TURPENTINE REALLY IS
A PAINTER'S BEST FRIEND...

NOT ONLY IS IT
AN EXCELLENT PAINT THINNER,

IT'S MARVELOUS AT
CLEANING BRUSHES, TOO.

IT'S ALSO...

-HIGHLY FLAMMABLE.
-YOU WOULD NOT DARE.

WHEN IT'S LIT, IT PRODUCES SMOKE
OF SUCH THINK BLACK SOOT

THAT IT WILL SUFFOCATE THE
AIRWAYS WITHIN MOMENTS.

IT'S A GRIZZLY, PAINFUL DEATH.
MAKE NO MISTAKE.

NOW, ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE ME
BACK MY PURSE, OR NOT?

THANK YOU.

YOU DO KNOW THAT WHEN
I'M FREE OF THESE CUFFS,
I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN

-AND KILL YOU.
-[LAUGHS]

A MAN THAT DRINKS AS MUCH AS YOU

IS TOO LAZY
TO HUNT ANYTHING DOWN.

[GUFFAWS]

I THINK I LIKE YOU.

GOOD... NOW, TELL ME
WHERE CLARA SIMMS IS,

OR I WILL BURN THIS PLACE TO
THE GROUND, WITH YOU IN IT.

[LAUGHTER]

[GASPS]

[APPLAUSE]

YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR.
YOU COULD'VE KILLED ME.

MAY I SPEAK WITH
YOU... MRS. SIMMS?

I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF YOUR
UNCLE, ALFRED WINTERS...

YOUR UNCLE IS ILL.

HE'S QUITE ILL.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH
TIME HE HAS LEFT.

A LADY DETECTIVE...

WHAT REASON WOULD YOU
WANT TO BE SUCH A THING?

WHEN YOU'VE HAD AS
MANY PEOPLE AS I,

TELLING YOU WHAT
YOU CAN AND CANNOT BE,
THAT'S REASON ENOUGH.

[COUGHS]

[GUFFAWS]

NOW... WILL YOU LET ME
REUNITE YOU WITH YOUR UNCLE?

-[GLASS SMASHES]
-[WHISTLE BLOWS]

[POLICEMAN]
"LET IT BE UNDERSTOOD,
THAT UNDER THE 1869...

-WHAT'S GOING ON?
-[POLICEMAN] CONTAGIOUS
DISEASE ACT, ALL PROSTITUTES

WILL BE EXAMINED FOR
VENEREAL DISEASE.

DURING EXAMINATION
ANYONE FOUND TO BE INFECTED

WITH SUCH DISEASES
CAN BE IMPRISONED...

WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME?

[POLICEMAN] FOR UP TO ONE YEAR."

[MISS SCARLET]
GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!

I AM NOT A PROSTITUTE!

[PANTING] PLEASE...
YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE.

PLEASE! [GROANING]

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

I AM A FAVORITE WHORE OF
DETECTIVE INSPECTOR WELLINGTON,

OF SCOTLAND YARD.
IF YOU LAY A FINGER ON ME,

YOU'LL BE IN HIS CELLS
BY THE END OF THE NIGHT.

I'D NO IDEA THAT ONE CHASTE KISS
WHEN WE WERE CHILDREN

PUT YOU IN POSITION
OF MY FAVORITE WHORE.

I HAD TO THINK OF SOMETHING.

SPREADING RUMORS THAT
I'M A WHORE MONGER
WAS JUST THE TICKET?

THEY DIDN'T NEED
MUCH CONVINCING.
YOUR REPUTATION PRECEDES YOU.

YOU WISH TO SPEAK OF REPUTATION?

BECAUSE YOURS
IS HANGING BY A THREAD.

I COULD TELL YOU REPEATEDLY
TO STAY OUT OF THIS BUSINESS,

BUT I FEAR IT WOULD
FALL ON DEAF EARS.

YOU ARE THE MOST STUBBORN WOMAN
THAT I'VE EVER MET.

AND YOU'VE MET A FEW,
HAVE YOU NOT?

[GUFFAWS] WELL...

I'D LOVE TO SIT HERE
AND REMINISCE,

BUT IT'S TWO O' CLOCK
IN THE MORNING.

AND I HAVE SOME WHORING TO DO.

STOP IT, WILLIAM.

COME ALONG

THAT WAS NO CHASTE KISS,
AND WE WEREN'T CHILDREN.

YOU TOOK ADVANTAGE OF
MY SITUATION, AS YOU DO NOW.

I WAS 19 ELIZA. YOU WERE 16, SOBBING
IN MY ARMS OVER YOUR DEAD
POODLE. WHAT'S A BOY TO THINK?

SKIP WAS A JACK RUSSELL.
YOU WERE INSTRUCTED
BY MY FATHER TO LOOK AFTER ME.

-I DID LOOK AFTER YOU.
-YOU KISSED ME.

I SEEM TO REMEMBER YOU LIKED IT.

I SEEM TO REMEMBER
I SLAPPED YOUR FACE.

THAT'S NOT THE WAY OUT.

MY FATHER'S JUST DIED,
AND THIS IS HOW YOU TREAT ME?

IT IS FOR HENRY THAT I DO THIS.

MISS SCARLET...

GOOD MORNING, MR. WINTERS.

I WAS NOT EXPECTING YOU.

I KNOW I SAID MY
FATHER WOULD BE HERE,

BUT LET ME ASSURE YOU,
AT THIS VERY MOMENT,

HE IS TYING UP
HIS HIGH-LEVEL CASE,

SO HE CAN GIVE YOURS
HIS FULL ATTENTION.

I WAS NOT EXPECTING YOU,

BECAUSE I KNOW
THAT YOUR FATHER IS DEAD.

IT WAS IN THE OBITUARIES
THIS MORNING.

YOU HAVE LIED TO
ME, MISS SCARLET.

THE ONLY REASON I'M NOT
INFORMING THE POLICE

IS THAT I ASSUME
YOUR FATHER'S DEATH

HAS AFFECTED YOUR HEALTH.

EXCUSE ME, I'M ALREADY
LATE FOR MY APPOINTMENT
WITH GILL AND SON.

YOU'VE GIVEN YOUR
CASE TO GILL AND SON?

THEY'LL TAKE YOUR MONEY ON
A DAILY RATE, AND NOT LOOK
AT YOUR CASE FOR A WEEK.

-THEY ARE CROOKS.
-AS OPPOSED TO WHAT?

A WOMAN WHO TELLS ME
HER FATHER IS ALIVE,

WHEN HE'S SIX FEET UNDERGROUND?

YOUR NIECE HAS
DIFFERENT COLORED EYES...

A DETAIL YOU OMITTED TO TELL ME.

YOU FOUND CLARA?

IF YOU'LL AGREE TO
MY SEEING THIS CASE THROUGH,

I WILL HAVE YOU REUNITED
WITH HER AS SOON AS I CAN.

WHERE IS SHE?

I'M AFRAID I CANNOT
DIVULGE THAT AT THIS TIME.

WHAT KIND OF WOMAN KEEPS
AN UNCLE FROM HIS NIECE?

A BUSINESS WOMAN, MR. WINTERS.

IF YOU WISH TO SEE YOUR NIECE,
YOU'LL PAY ME
50% OF THE FEE NOW,

AND 50% WHEN REUNITED WITH HER.

AND, ON THE SUBJECT OF MY FEE,

IT'S GONE UP.

THAT POLICEMAN
WON'T FORGET YOU IN A HURRY.

THAT WAS A WELL-PLACED KICK.

I HAVE BEEN MISTAKEN FOR A WHORE ONCE BEFORE

AM DETERMINED NEVER TO GO
THROUGH THAT HUMILIATION AGAIN

AND YOU MISS SCARLET?

DID THEY?..

AFTER WHAT HAPPENED LAST
NIGHT, SURELY WE ARE

WELL ENOUGH AQUINTED TO
USE OUR CHRISTIAN NAMES?

ELIZA.

CLARA.

I WISH TO SEE MY UNCLE.

GOOD...

BUT YOU CANNOT SEE HIM
LOOKING LIKE THAT.

MY UNCLE WAS RIGHT
ABOUT MY HUSBAND.

JOSEPH WAS JUST
A TRAVELING ACTOR

LOOKING FOR A WIFE
WITH A FAT DOWRY.

WHEN YOUR UNCLE DISOWNED YOU,
HE DID NOT RECEIVE IT?

WHICH IS WHEN HE
SHOWED HIS TRUE COLORS.

WOMANIZING, DRINKING...
DISAPPOINTMENT.

IT WAS NOT ALL HIS FAULT.

JOSEPH'S LIFE
HAD BEEN COLORED BY TRAGEDY.

HE WAS ON THE PRINCESS ALICE.

NEVER DID
THE THAMES SEE SUCH A CRASH.

HE WATCHED HIS FIRST WIFE DROWN

AMONGST THOSE POOR 600 SOULS.

IT WAS HIS HEARTBREAK
THAT DREW ME TO HIM
IN THE FIRST PLACE.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

HERE IS YOUR UNCLE NOW.

MR. WINTERS, THANK YOU
FOR YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE
TO MY MESSAGE.

MY DEAR, CLARA.

HE IS NOT MY UNCLE.

HE'S MY HUSBAND.

SORRY TO SAY, BUT...

YOUR UNCLE DIED... LAST MONTH.

I WAS NOTIFIED JUST LAST WEEK.

SHAME YOU WERE NOT WITH ME
TO HEAR THE NEWS.

HE'S LEFT A FINE ESTATE.

AND I WILL MOVE IN
AND LOOK AFTER IT.

THAT IS MY INHERITANCE, JOSEPH.

UNFORTUNATELY,
YOU WILL BE SOMEWHAT
INCAPACITATED, MY LOVE.

A WIFE WHO RUNS AWAY
TO BECOME A WHORE...

"MORAL INSANITY"
IS THE OFFICIAL TERM,

ACCORDING TO
MY DOCTOR'S CERTIFICATE.

NOTHING THAT A SPELL
IN THE ASYLUM CANNOT CURE.

BOYS!

NO! NO!

LET GO OF ME! LET GO OF ME!

I HOPE THE MONEY WAS WORTH IT.

I SWEAR I DID NOT KNOW.

I PROMISE I WILL
GET YOU OUT, CLARA

IT IS CRUEL TO MAKE
PROMISES YOU CANNOT KEEP.

I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN
DECIDE WHEN SHE COMES OUT.

YOU CANNOT DO THIS.

I'M HER HUSBAND, SO
I THINK YOU'LL FIND I CAN.

EXCELLENT WORK, MISS SCARLET.

I'M RUNNING OUT OF SCHOOLS
TO SEND YOU TO, LIZZY.

ARABELLA HERBERT STARTED IT.

THAT'S NOT WHAT
YOUR TEACHER SAID.

SHE'S A WITCH.
OF COURSE SHE'D BLAME ME.
ARABELLA'S HER PET.

WHAT HAPPENED EXACTLY?

A GIRL ASKED ME
WHAT I WANTED TO BE
WHEN I GREW UP.

AND I TOLD THEM...
A POLICE OFFICER.

THAT'S WHEN ARABELLA SAID...

WHAT?

SHE SAID I WOULD BE NOTHING
EXCEPT A MOTHERLESS PIG.

THIS IS MY FAULT.

I HAVE FILLED YOUR HEAD WITH
FANCIFUL IDEAS, AND IT IS...

TIME FOR ME TO STOP.

YOU'RE OLD ENOUGH
TO UNDERSTAND THAT

WOMEN DON'T HAVE
THE SAME FREEDOM AS MEN.

-IT'S THE WAY THE WORLD IS.
-I'LL CHANGE IT.

YOU'RE NOT A CHILD. YOU'RE A
YOUNG LADY. YOUR MOTHER WOULD
WANT ME TO RAISE YOU AS SUCH.

-FATHER.
-ENOUGH!

THIS TALK OF POLICE
WORK HAS TO STOP.

IT WILL DO YOU NO GOOD.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND, LIZZY?

NO TEARS OR
THERE WILL BE NO SUPPER.

YOU ALWAYS SAY THAT,
AND THERE ALWAYS IS.

KITTY! FETCH ME A CAB.

THAT POOR WOMAN IS IN THE VERY
BOUGHS OF HELL IN THAT PLACE.

YOU HAVE TO HELP ME
GET HER OUT, WILLIAM.

I KNOW I'VE BEEN A FOOL.

BUT, OUT OF RESPECT FOR YOUR
FRIENDSHIP WITH MY FATHER...

PLEASE FIND IT IN YOUR HEART
NOT TO BE ANGRY.

ANGER DOESN'T BEGIN TO
DESCRIBE WHAT I'M FEELING.

YOU PUT YOURSELF
IN GRAVE DANGER.

SIMMS IS A
WELL-SEASONED CRIMINAL.

HIS PRISON RECORD IS
AS LONG AS YOUR ARM.

THEN ARREST HIM.
A MAN WITH HIS BACKGROUND
SHOULD HAVE NO RIGHT

TO PUT HIS WIFE IN THE ASYLUM.

DO YOU KNOW SO LITTLE? HE IS NOW
A WEALTHY LANDOWNER.

WITH IS WIFE COMMITTED
HE HAS FULL CONTROL
OF HER INHERITANCE.

NO COURT WOULD TOUCH HIM.

MAYBE I COULD SEE HIS FILE?
THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING.

THIS MESS IS A RESULT OF
YOUR DABBLING IN MEN'S AFFAIRS.

YOU MUST STOP THIS NONSENSE.

YOU'RE RIGHT, WILLIAM.

I AM A SILLY WOMAN.

MY FATHER WOULD BE
SO DISAPPOINTED IN ME.

NO... HE WOULD
NOT BE DISAPPOINTED,

MERELY WORRIED, AS I AM.

I'M SORRY FOR INVOLVING YOU
IN MY STUPIDITY.

I'M FEELING A LITTLE FAINT.

MAYBE YOU COULD
GIVE ME SOME SALTS?

[SIGHS]

OF COURSE.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

-[KNOCKING]
-[DUKE] ELIZA!

[DUKE] ELIZA, OPEN
THIS DOOR! ELIZA!

OPEN THIS DOOR NOW!

ELIZA!

[DOOR LATCH RATTLES]

HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?

ONE OF THE MAIDS
OWED ME A FAVOR.

WELL... LET'S SEE WHAT THE HOTEL
MANAGER HAS TO SAY ABOUT THAT.

HE WAS THE ONE WHO TOLD HER
TO GIVE ME THE KEY...

IN EXCHANGE FOR ME
NOT TELLING HIS WIFE
THAT THEY'RE HAVING AN AFFAIR.

[MR. SIMMS SCOFFS]

I HAVE A TRAIN TO CATCH...
IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME.

YOU LIED TO CLARA.

YOUR FIRST WIFE, BEATRICE SIMMS,

WAS ON THE PRINCESS ALICE
WHEN IT SUNK. YOU WERE NOT.

YOU WERE IN PRISON...

AND ACCORDING TO YOUR STATUS
ON YOUR PRISON RECORD,

STILL MARRIED WHEN YOU LEFT,
TWO MONTHS LATER.

SO? THE RECORD WASN'T
AMENDED TO WIDOWER.

YOU SAID YOURSELF, MY FIRST WIFE
DIED IN THE CRASH.

I SAID SHE WAS ON THE STEAMER...

BUT SHE DID NOT DIE.

MY FATHER KEPT CUTTINGS OF
ANY INCIDENTS ON THE THAMES.

MANY OF HIS CASES WERE
REGARDING MISSING PERSONS.

AND, HERE IS THE
LIST OF SURVIVORS.

AMONG THEM...
ONE BEATRICE SIMMS.

YOU ARE A BIGAMIST, MR. SIMMS.

YOUR MARRIAGE TO CLARA
WAS NOT LEGALLY BINDING.

YOU HAVE NO
MARITAL RIGHTS OVER HER,

OR HER INHERITANCE.

AND TO WHOM HAVE YOU
SHARED THIS FAIRYTALE ?

I SEE NO ONE.

SINCE NO ONE IS GOING TO TAKE
A WOMAN DETECTIVE SERIOUSLY,

ON THE CONTRARY, I HAVE A CLOSE
WORKING RELATIONSHIP

WITH DETECTIVE INSPECTOR
WELLINGTON OF SCOTLAND YARD.

IN FACT, HE AND HIS OFFICERS
ARE WAITING DOWNSTAIRS
IN RECEPTION.

THERE ARE NO POLICE WAGONS.

THEY DIDN'T WANT TO
ALARM THE HOTEL GUESTS.
THEY'RE AT THE BACK.

I THINK YOU'RE LYING.

INTERESTING THAT
YOU'VE CHOSEN STRANGULATION
AS YOUR MEANS TO KILL ME,

SINCE IT REQUIRES
A GREAT DEAL OF STRENGTH.

STRENGTH IS LEAVING YOUR BODY
AS EVERY SECONDS TICKS BY.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

THE MAID THAT OWED ME A FAVOR...

NOT ONLY DID SHE
GIVE ME YOUR KEY,

SHE KINDLY ALLOWED ME
TO MAKE YOUR COFFEE.

SURPRISING HOW LITTLE
LAUDANUM IT TAKES

TO KNOCK A MAN OF YOUR
SIZE UNCONSCIOUS.

-YOU ARE LYING.
-NO, I'M NOT.

[SIGHS]
NOT ABOUT THAT PART, ANYWAY.

THE NEXT TIME
YOU STEAL POLICE PROPERTY,

OR INDEED, POISON SOMEONE,

I SHALL HAVE NO CHOICE
BUT TO ARREST YOU.

A LITTLE LAUDANUM
NEVER HURT ANYONE.

HE WAS UNCONSCIOUS
FOR OVER AN HOUR, ELIZA.

IT'S A GOOD JOB, TOO...

SINCE YOU TOOK SO
LONG TO ARRIVE.

I HAVE WORK TO DO.

THANK YOU, WILLIAM.

SORRY TO BE SO LATE FOR DINNER.

I WAS TAKING MY CLIENT
TO THE TRAIN STATION--

A YOUNG LADY,
SPEAKING OF CLIENTS,
IT'S NOT RIGHT.

CLARA SIMMS RETURNS
TO HER HOME AN INDEPENDENT,

WEALTHY YOUNG WOMAN.

AREN'T YOU
THE SMALLEST BIT PROUD OF ME?

I AM ALWAYS PROUD OF YOU.

NOW, YOU HAVE A VISITOR...
A MR. PARKER.

THE SOONER YOUR MOTHER'S
WEDDING RING IS ON THAT FINGER,
THE BETTER.

GO AND PUT THAT
POOR MAN OUT OF HIS MISERY
AND ACCEPT HIS PROPOSAL.

THERE'S NOTHING POOR
ABOUT RUPERT PARKER.
HIS FAMILY OWN HALF THE STREET.

EXACTLY.

MR. PARKER,
WHAT A DELIGHTFUL SURPRISE.

MISS SCARLET.

NOW THAT YOUR FATHER HAS PASSED,

I HOPE
I CAN BE OF SERVICE TO YOU,

AT THIS... DIFFICULT TIME.

THAT'S VERY KIND.

I'M SORRY.

I HAVE COME TO ASK YOU..FOR...

I HAVE COME TO ASK
FOR YOUR FORGIVENESS.

I CAN'T MARRY YOU. I KNOW
YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED,

AND FOR THAT I AM SORRY,
BUT IT IS MY MOTHER WHO WISHES
US TO BE MARRIED, NOT I...

NOT I.

WELL...
A PROPOSAL FROM A MAN SUCH AS
YOURSELF WAS INDEED TEMPTING.

ARRGH.

DAMN.

THAT IS WHAT MOTHER SAID.

I KNEW THE OTHER LADIES
I WAS FORCED TO PROPOSE TO
WOULD SAY "NO."

BUT YOU... MOTHER WAS CONVINCED
YOU'D SAY "YES"
DUE TO YOUR SITUATION.

MY SITUATION?

THE BURDEN OF YOUR
FINANCIAL INSECURITIES.

I SEE.

NO... MISS SCARLET, NO,

PLEASE DO NOT... BE OFFENDED.
IT IS NOT YOU IN PARTICULAR.

IN FACT,
YOU ARE BY FAR THE MOST...

-AGREEABLE OF ALL...
-[LAUGHS]

...THOSE I PROPOSED TO.
THE SIMPLE FACT IS...

I HAVE STILL SO MUCH
TO SEE OF THE WORLD.

AND STILL SO MUCH TO DO...

AND, AS YET, I HAVE SEEN
AND DONE VERY LITTLE.

I'M NOT READY TO BE MARRIED.

I'M NOT READY TO BE MARRIED!

THEN THAT MAKES TWO OF US,
MR. PARKER.

RIGHT.

MOTHER WILL BE SO ANGRY.

SHE THINKS IT WRONG
THAT I REMAIN UNMARRIED.

WELL, THEN, TELL HER THAT IT
WAS I THAT TURNED YOU DOWN.

YOU'D DO THAT FOR ME?

THAT IS... MOST KIND.

ONLY WISH
I WAS THERE TO SEE HER FACE.

[GUFFAWS] YES.

AHH!

IF THERE IS ANYTHING
I CAN EVER HELP YOU WITH.

ANYTHING AT ALL...

PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO ASK.
AS YOU KNOW, MISS SCARLET...

I'M A VERY WEALTHY MAN.

[BANGING]

UNDETERRED AS EVER, I SEE.

I'M SURPRISED
YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED
THE NAME TO YOUR OWN.

"MISS," ABOVE THE DOOR?

THAT'D BE A SURE WAY
NEVER TO HAVE ANY CLIENTS.

-I HOPE YOU'RE NOT OVER
STRETCHING YOURSELF.
-ON THE CONTRARY.

THE FEE I EARNED FROM JOSEPH
SIMMS ALLOWED ME TO PAY MY
FATHER'S DEBTS.

AND THIS...?
NEW DESK, NEW DRAPES.
THAT MUST'VE COST A BIT.

LET'S JUST SAY IT'S A LOAN
FROM A KEEN INVESTOR.

WELL, I SHOULD GET BACK TO WORK.

I HAVE A DESK COVERED IN CASES

THAT URGENTLY NEED MY ATTENTION.

I WAS MEANING TO ASK...

YOUR MAN WITH THE SLIT THROAT.
ANY DEVELOPMENTS?

YES... IT WAS THE WIFE.

SO, I WAS RIGHT.

I ADMIT, I MISSED
THE SIGNS OF SYPHILIS.

THAT WAS BECAUSE
I HADN'T GIVEN THE CASE
MY FULL ATTENTION YET.

OF COURSE.

MAYBE I COULD HELP WITH
OTHER CASES IN THE FUTURE.

GOOD DAY, ELIZA.

GOOD DAY, WILLIAM.

[Door Closes]

[MR. SCARLET] YOU'RE REALLY
GOING TO DO THIS?

DO YOU DISAPPROVE, PAPA?

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?

YOU NEVER LISTENED TO ME,
ANYWAY.

LOOKS A BIT DIFFERENT IN HERE...

I LIKE IT.

BUT THAT NEEDS STRAIGHTENING.

[LAUGHS]

ANYTHING ELSE?

NOT FOR THE MOMENT, BUT I'M SURE
I'LL THINK OF SOMETHING.

MY CLEVER GIRL.

WHAT WILL I DO
WITHOUT YOU, PAPA?
