00:00:08To be continued...
00:00:30Welcome to Bonny, Scotland.
00:00:33It is the year of our Lord, 1828.
00:00:36And this is where I work.
00:00:37The Market Square in Edinburgh, our capital city.
00:00:43They're calling this the Scottish Enlightenment.
00:00:48Enlightenment?
00:00:49You've got to fool me.
00:00:51I mean, look at the state of them.
00:00:54The only people around here looking to be enlightened are the medical students.
00:00:58They come to study at the feet of our famous doctors.
00:01:02Edinburgh is the medical capital of the world.
00:01:05Get yourselves an education there, lads.
00:01:08On one side of the city, you have Barclays School of Anatomy.
00:01:12And that's run by the esteemed surgeon, Dr Robert Knox.
00:01:17Now, some say that he's the finest surgeon in all Scotland.
00:01:21All I can say about Dr Knox is that the dress is, well, quite the dandy.
00:01:28Ah, there's nothing like starting off a new term with a fresh corpse, is there, Patterson?
00:01:33Indeed, sir.
00:01:34Today, I think I shall commence by removing the top of the cranium.
00:01:38They'll certainly give the freshmen something to write home about.
00:01:41And on the other side of the city,
00:01:45you've got Scotland's Royal College of Surgeons.
00:01:48And that's run by Professor Alexander Munro.
00:01:53He's, how do you put it, old school.
00:02:09That would be an artery.
00:02:15Anyway, you'll have to excuse me for a wee moment, ladies and gentlemen.
00:02:21It's showtime.
00:02:41Maggie O'Donnell of the West Port, also known as Mad Maggie.
00:02:46You are convicted of the heinous crimes of thievery, prostitution,
00:02:52public drunkenness, and a bad attitude.
00:02:56Do you have anything to say before you're consigned to hell?
00:03:01Aye!
00:03:02Only my hobbits are hot down there, as they say it is!
00:03:20You see, you can only teach anatomy by cutting up people's bodies.
00:03:24And the law of the land says you can only cut up bodies of people like Mad Maggie here,
00:03:28the recently deceased.
00:03:29So we sell them to the highest bidder.
00:03:40But now, Professor Munro, the swine,
00:03:44has used his influence to pass a new city bylaw.
00:03:56Who's the body, Angus?
00:04:00But we had an arrangement.
00:04:01Professor Munro at the Royal College gets all the bodies down.
00:04:08Now, when the demand for a certain commodity exceeds supply,
00:04:11it creates a business opportunity.
00:04:14Just waiting for the right kind of clever entrepreneurs to step in.
00:04:20Ladies and gentlemen, gather round, gather round!
00:04:23My name is William Burke.
00:04:25Like many of you, my colleague Mr. Hare and I came to this land looking for work.
00:04:29We've dug canals, we've built roads, we've started a new life.
00:04:33But none of us has forgotten that emerald isle from which we came.
00:04:37That mystical land where a man...
00:04:39Get to the bloody point, will he?
00:04:40Right, sorry.
00:04:41In the carty of Donegal, on the highest, greenest slopes,
00:04:45there grows a certain moss which any educated person will tell you
00:04:48cures all known afflictions.
00:04:51The smallest cut, ladies and gentlemen,
00:04:54can let in poisons from the earth and the air.
00:04:56And before you know it, your very brain starts to boil.
00:04:59But the touch of the moss from the hills of Donegal, ladies and gentlemen,
00:05:03and it's gone in a flash.
00:05:06A boil appears!
00:05:07You pay it no mind!
00:05:09But suddenly there's a second and a third!
00:05:12And before you know it, the sufferings of Job are upon you!
00:05:16A work!
00:05:17Not it.
00:05:18Starts off small, doesn't it?
00:05:19But without a touch of the moss, it can grow as big as your head!
00:05:24This is never moss.
00:05:27It's cheese moult.
00:05:29They're the pan of confidence, mate!
00:05:32What a weird bastard!
00:05:35Now the constable!
00:05:40I think...
00:05:42I think...
00:05:44Great!
00:05:45Yes, boss!
00:05:46Yes, boss!
00:05:49Gentlemen!
00:06:04Gentlemen!
00:06:06The Lord created the heavens and the earth.
00:06:10But his greatest work, his most perfect creation, is man.
00:06:17The study of human anatomy, therefore,
00:06:21is nothing less than a direct insight into the mind of God.
00:06:35Gentlemen, I give you the human form in all its glory.
00:06:43Jesus Christ!
00:06:45I have a very, very good explanation, sir.
00:06:55Well, Patterson, let's hear this very, very good explanation.
00:07:09Not content with butchering his own patients,
00:07:12Monroe is now taken to using political influence
00:07:14to hinder the advancement of medical science.
00:07:17Beggars can't be choosers, sir.
00:07:18I had to take the only one that Resurrectionist MacTavish had left.
00:07:21That's the third rotter I've had from MacTavish
00:07:23and his gang of grave robbers in the last three weeks.
00:07:26I can't go on like this.
00:07:27Is there anything I can do, Doctor?
00:07:29You could start praying, Patterson,
00:07:32for the one thing that could save us.
00:07:36And what's that, sir?
00:07:37An enormous and awful calamity right here in Edinburgh.
00:07:41An accident or a natural disaster.
00:07:46Something which generates the large numbers of cadavers
00:07:49I need for my work.
00:07:50Wouldn't that be nice, sir?
00:07:52Yes, Patterson.
00:07:54It would be nice.
00:07:57You told your wife you was going to get a job.
00:07:59You lied.
00:08:00An economy with the truth, Willie,
00:08:01isn't the same as a flat-out lie.
00:08:04And you think Lucky's going to grasp that distinction?
00:08:07She's not exactly a forgiving woman.
00:08:08I'll not hear a bad word said against her.
00:08:10All right.
00:08:12I want to grant you she's had her problems with the bottle,
00:08:14but she's fighting her demons.
00:08:18Besides, she's bound to be in high spirits.
00:08:20It's rent day for O'Donnell.
00:08:22Ah!
00:08:22Ah, you see?
00:08:24Within every cloud, there's a silver lining.
00:08:30Where's the money yours, Mr. Hare?
00:08:44I know this looks bad, love, but there's a good explanation.
00:08:48You see, Willie here came up with this fantastic new product.
00:08:52Donegal Moss.
00:08:53It started off a roaring success.
00:08:55Aye, for a while, it looks as though all our troubles were over.
00:09:01Jesus, what's that smell?
00:09:04It was an accident.
00:09:05You're a lazy good-for-nothing William Hare.
00:09:09We're flat-out broke.
00:09:12What about O'Donnell's rent money?
00:09:15Fuck me!
00:09:18He's dead.
00:09:21Dead.
00:09:23What do you mean, dead?
00:09:24I mean, deceased.
00:09:25He stopped living and died.
00:09:27So he didn't pay his rent, then?
00:09:31Are you telling us O'Donnell is dead?
00:09:33As a doornail.
00:09:35So my suggestion is that you sort yourselves out
00:09:38and get rid of the body
00:09:39before it starts to stink up the place more than you two.
00:09:43How are we supposed to do that?
00:09:45Use your imagination, William.
00:09:47It's about all you're good for these days.
00:09:55I've got to go.
00:09:55That's not working.
00:09:59Right now, push his right leg down.
00:10:00No, it won't go!
00:10:02I'm going to have to break his back.
00:10:04What?
00:10:04Well, it's either that or we chop his legs off.
00:10:09I know a building site in the new town.
00:10:10We can dump them there.
00:10:11No problem at all.
00:10:12You don't know about this, William.
00:10:14It's a piece of cake.
00:10:15It's only another mile or so.
00:10:17Only another mile or so.
00:10:21Let's stop over there, will you?
00:10:22This is thirsty work.
00:10:31All right, get it up.
00:10:39Watch your language, you fucking son-of-a-bitch bastard.
00:10:48All right, James.
00:10:57What are we going to do, William?
00:10:59There's no more canals to dig.
00:11:00Don't you worry, Willie.
00:11:02I have got all kinds of ideas.
00:11:04Hey, but no money to speak of.
00:11:05No plan.
00:11:09Just enough money for one last round.
00:11:12I'll drink to that.
00:11:19Couple of large ones, Irene.
00:11:22How's business?
00:11:24Never better, Fergus.
00:11:30About you?
00:11:31Diversifying is what we're doing.
00:11:34Mr. McTavish has moved into gambling, opium distribution, and pimping whores.
00:11:45Well, come on, I'm a legitimate.
00:11:49So no more taking up graves, then?
00:11:51It's no worth the bother anymore.
00:11:53Wee, Tom McTavish and his militia, they've declared a war on Grave Orbury.
00:11:59They're patrolling the graveyards every night.
00:12:02They're patrolling the graveyards every night.
00:12:23They're patrolling the gravers, once you are dead.
00:12:26What was it?
00:12:37Well, then.
00:12:42So, this doctor is gonna give us money to cut old Donald up.
00:12:45Old Donald is in heaven.
00:12:47These are just his mortal remains.
00:12:49You seem to have given us an awful lot of thought.
00:12:51When have I ever let you down?
00:12:53When have you ever let me die?
00:12:54Oh, come on now, Willie.
00:12:56No!
00:13:30Holy shite!
00:13:43This is wrong.
00:13:44There's only one surgeon square in Edinburgh, Willie.
00:13:47No, what we're doing is wrong.
00:13:49I'm sorry to disturb you, doctor, but we have two gentlemen at the door to see you.
00:13:52They appear to have a herring barrel with them, sir.
00:13:54I have no taste for herring, Patterson. Send them away.
00:13:57I believe there's something else in a herring barrel for you, sir.
00:14:04I commend you both on account of his freshness.
00:14:06Thank you, doctor.
00:14:08Why is he bent in half like that?
00:14:11This man obviously died in some kind of construction accident.
00:14:16That is exactly what happened. Isn't that exactly what happened, Mr. Burke?
00:14:19Aye, Mr. Herring, yeah, that's exactly what happened.
00:14:22Right. I'll give you three pounds.
00:14:25We was looking for six pounds, sir.
00:14:29I'm afraid I can go no higher than four pounds ten shillings.
00:14:31Dr. Knox, sir, you yourself complimented us on account of its freshness, sir.
00:14:38Quite the salesman, aren't you, Mr. Hare?
00:14:41Could you make it five pounds ten shillings?
00:14:44What with so much construction work going on in Edinburgh,
00:14:48if we were to stumble on any other unfortunates?
00:14:54Would you be interested, doctor?
00:14:58I'll give you five pounds for your efforts, gentlemen.
00:15:01And I'll pay you the same for any more unfortunates that you can deliver,
00:15:05except in the summer when we have a few problems keeping them fresh.
00:15:07I completely understand, Dr. Knox.
00:15:10All right, Patterson, prepare this gentleman for the lecture.
00:15:14What about his posture, sir?
00:15:17Uh, straighten him out. I'm sure he won't complain.
00:15:22Sir?
00:15:23Unbend him. These fellows will assist you and then show them out. Good night.
00:15:27All right, give me a hand with this.
00:15:44Here's to our new product.
00:15:51And where exactly are we going to find more?
00:15:53Oh, there's lots more.
00:15:56Product just waiting for us to dig it up.
00:16:24Mmm.
00:16:26He's looking at me.
00:16:28I'm sure he knows what we're doing.
00:16:30Forget the damn dog, Willie.
00:16:32Just keep an eye out for the militia.
00:16:37You know, this is hallowed ground.
00:16:39Touch of frost is all.
00:16:49Look lively, man.
00:16:57Whoa.
00:16:58Cock.
00:17:12HowUN fewer's there?!
00:17:14Whooo, whaah, fuck!
00:17:16Who lives there?
00:17:18Thick spinach!
00:17:22It's the militia.
00:17:28Listen up, lad.
00:17:30They got guns.
00:17:34Oh, for pity's sake, private.
00:17:38Come on.
00:17:42Be careful.
00:17:46Either we give ourselves up.
00:17:49And risk being transported.
00:17:50Or we run for it and risk getting shot.
00:17:53As much as I like to travel, I think I'm going to go with the latter.
00:17:57On three.
00:17:58Right.
00:17:59One.
00:18:04Jeez.
00:18:07Ow!
00:18:08Well shot, sir.
00:18:09Thank you, sergeant.
00:18:21I can't believe this.
00:18:24Six years in the Donegal Militia, and I never got a scratch.
00:18:27And three R's is a grave robber, and I get shot in the R's.
00:18:30All right, Willie.
00:18:31Show me your wounds.
00:18:32All right.
00:18:32Just be careful.
00:18:36I think you've got a perfectly lovely arse.
00:18:43Evening, Mrs. McPhee.
00:18:48Is it bad?
00:18:49It's nothing but a scratch, you big baby.
00:18:52But it still hurts.
00:18:53Come on, Willie.
00:18:53Oh, who was that screaming in the graveyard like a wee girl?
00:18:57You!
00:19:08For the love of Lord Jesus, she's fallen off the wagon again.
00:19:18Oh, are you all right, love?
00:19:24It's God.
00:19:25He's punishing us.
00:19:27Oh, you know that's not true.
00:19:30First old Donald, and now Joseph.
00:19:33What's happened to Joseph?
00:19:35That's two reds.
00:19:37Just God.
00:20:00Oh, are you all right, Joseph?
00:20:05Do we live all right, you bleeding Irish bastards?
00:20:09Oh.
00:20:10Ah.
00:20:12You'll know me taking my coat.
00:20:15Oh.
00:20:16I remember.
00:20:18Who knows he was there, so.
00:20:21He says stand up, guards.
00:20:24Now, Maitland, now's your time.
00:20:28And over we go, fighting, fighting the frogs.
00:20:33I have to tell you about the time.
00:20:36Well, the time.
00:20:40I thought about the man, the wee man himself.
00:20:45Napoleon.
00:20:47Aye, what a treat.
00:20:50And that in the other hat.
00:21:00Oh, forgive me, Father.
00:21:04For I know not what I do.
00:21:07He shouldn't have to go like this.
00:21:11A hero should be laid to rest among his comrades
00:21:13in the corner of some distant foreign field
00:21:16on the battleground,
00:21:18surrounded by his fellow men-at-arms.
00:21:20You know what, it's far better this way.
00:21:23A man deserves to die in the comfort of his own bed,
00:21:26surrounded by his friends.
00:21:27,
00:21:28.
00:21:36.
00:21:37.
00:21:40.
00:21:41.
00:21:41.
00:21:42.
00:21:44Oh, my God.
00:22:15Never again, William. Old Joseph was the last one for me.
00:22:18Well, talk about it later, Willie. For now, just smile and try looking for it.
00:22:48Excuse me. We're not coming in wearing those.
00:22:52But they are French. Exactly.
00:22:55So, sling your hook. Pardon?
00:22:57Slang your hook. Hook. Your hook.
00:23:00Hook. Your hook. Slang it.
00:23:04We're on the guest list.
00:23:06No.
00:23:10William Wordsworth.
00:23:13That's one.
00:23:16Welcome to Buck Oakley's, Mr. Wordsworth.
00:23:19And may I say, how much I admire your form of the Dauphinus.
00:23:24Too kind.
00:23:25Very nice.
00:23:29No chance.
00:23:30Pencil.
00:23:30Good.
00:23:49What are you having?
00:23:49It's inconceivable that the height of culture on offer in Edinburgh is this bloody dive.
00:23:56Which is why I'm proposing, and don't laugh at me, that we put on Macbeth.
00:24:05It's got everything.
00:24:07Sex, murder, magic, betrayal.
00:24:11I think it's a great idea, Ginny.
00:24:13You do?
00:24:14I really do.
00:24:15There's just one problem.
00:24:18Wasn't Macbeth a king?
00:24:21Wouldn't I make him a man?
00:24:23I'm talking about the first all-female production of a Shakespeare play?
00:24:29It costs money to put on a play, Ginny.
00:24:32None of us want to go back on the game.
00:24:35Nobody's going back on the game.
00:24:36All we need is for a wealthy and discerning patron to take the bait.
00:24:44What are you doing?
00:24:45That which hath made them drunk hath made me bawl them.
00:24:52Had I but died an hour before this chance, have you been blessed, I mean.
00:24:59There's nothing safe.
00:25:00Someone's had a few too many.
00:25:01Who can be wise, amazed, temperate, furious, loyal and neutral in a moment?
00:25:12No man.
00:25:13The only explanation I love has outrun the pause of reason.
00:25:23Have you not heard of William Bloody Shakespeare?
00:25:30Please!
00:25:32Show some respect!
00:25:34Bowers!
00:25:37Can I help you?
00:25:39Uh, just your speech there was, it was wonderful, madam.
00:25:52Doctor!
00:25:53Doctor!
00:25:54Doctor!
00:25:55You look like the proverbial cat that swallowed the canary, Dr. Monroe.
00:26:00You must know what this is all about.
00:26:01I do, actually.
00:26:04But forgive me, I need to have a word with Dr. Knox.
00:26:07Oh, I'd be surprised if Knox would speak to you now that...
00:26:09Excuse me, Dr. Lister.
00:26:12And please do not misunderstand this, but
00:26:22Dr. Knox, how wonderful it is to see you.
00:26:31Yes, I'm sure it is.
00:26:32And your new students, are they enjoying your lectures?
00:26:37Not as much as I understand they're enjoying your wife, sir.
00:26:45Oh, I hate that man.
00:26:48Doctors, professors, gentlemen, please take your seats.
00:26:52Thank you, sir.
00:26:56Thank you, sir.
00:26:57Thank you, sir.
00:26:58Thank you, sir.
00:26:59Thank you, sir.
00:26:59Thank you, sir.
00:26:59Thank you, sir.
00:26:59Your attention, gentlemen.
00:27:02His Majesty will be in residence at Holyrood Palace in eight weeks' time.
00:27:06The King has decided that, in his wisdom, he will create a competition to further the progress
00:27:12of medical science.
00:27:14Accordingly, His Majesty has decided that, during his visit, he will listen to presentations
00:27:20from Scotland's leading physicians.
00:27:23Whomsoever he determines has made the greatest advances in the field of medicine will be awarded
00:27:28the Royal Seal and a handsome monetary reward.
00:27:34This honour will confer immeasurable economic and social status on Edinburgh, on Scotland,
00:27:41on the medical profession, and, of course, on its recipient.
00:27:45I thank you, and good night.
00:27:48Maud Harrington, I just...
00:27:51Yes, I know.
00:27:52I played Agnes in Moliere's School for Wives at the Garrick Theatre in London.
00:27:59And after that, times got tough, and I branched out into physical theatre.
00:28:05Ah, like acrobatics.
00:28:06Sometimes.
00:28:07Then I became a dancer and a showgirl, and now I'm trying to produce my first play.
00:28:13Sounds very exciting.
00:28:14It is.
00:28:15I just need to put together a consortium of investors.
00:28:18Anyway, enough about me.
00:28:20Let's talk more about you.
00:28:22What do you do for a living?
00:28:23Uh, I'm in surgical supplies.
00:28:27Sorry to interrupt, Ollie, but we should be heading home.
00:28:29Got an early start.
00:28:31It was lovely to meet you, Mr. Burke.
00:28:33Can I see you again?
00:28:34Oh, I'd like that.
00:28:35How about Friday night?
00:28:36I'll meet you here at seven.
00:28:38Good night, miss.
00:28:39Come along, will I?
00:28:39Good night.
00:28:40Good night.
00:28:40Good night.
00:28:41Good night.
00:28:46I'll not explain myself again.
00:28:49Mr. Wadsworth is already in the club.
00:28:51That cannot be.
00:28:52I am he, newly returned from my tour of the continent.
00:28:56And I am Samuel Coleridge.
00:28:59Aye.
00:28:59And I'm Robbie fucking Bonds, the passer after both of us.
00:29:05Strange and peculiar gentleman.
00:29:08I never realized there was so much to know about the human foot.
00:29:12And Dr. Knox, will you be presenting to the committee?
00:29:16I will, my lord.
00:29:18And I believe I shall prevail in His Majesty's competition.
00:29:22And how will you do that, Dr. Knox?
00:29:25I am creating a complete map of the human body, both inside and out.
00:29:31If such a thing were possible, it would constitute the greatest medical advance since Vesalius.
00:29:36It is also impossible.
00:29:39Such a map would be entirely useless unless it was 100% accurate.
00:29:45And no artist can guarantee that.
00:29:49No illustrator or painter, I agree.
00:29:51So how on earth do you propose to achieve it?
00:29:55You shall see, Professor, in the fullness of time.
00:29:59My lord.
00:30:01Come, Patterson.
00:30:22You ready?
00:30:25Yeah, ready.
00:30:27Well, excuse me, sir.
00:30:31Attention.
00:30:36Attention.
00:30:45Oui, c'est ça.
00:30:54Attention.
00:31:04Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf.
00:31:16Attention.
00:31:25Voilà .
00:31:25Ah.
00:31:32Merci.
00:31:34Auprès de ma blonde.
00:31:39Ah, merde.
00:31:42Qui est ma jolie blonde qui chante avec lui.
00:31:47Ah, merde.
00:31:51Ah, merde.
00:32:02Ah, merde.
00:32:13Au revoir.
00:32:15C'est un élèographique.
00:32:17Un élèographique.
00:32:23C'est un élèographique.
00:32:35Un élèograpique.
00:32:37A world of high where the air is balmy and anything's possible.
00:32:41That's where we belong, Willie.
00:32:44You know, we should probably keep this run of good fortune to ourselves
00:32:49just till Lucky straightens herself out.
00:32:53Not a problem, William.
00:32:54Besides, for us to come across any more of those, uh, unfortunates,
00:32:57we need the devil's own luck.
00:33:00That's where you're wrong, Willie.
00:33:03Men like us make our own luck.
00:33:06What do you mean?
00:33:15Have you gone mad?
00:33:17No, Willie.
00:33:18We've gone into business.
00:33:21That doesn't give us the right to determine another man's fate.
00:33:23A man is gonna die from the moment he leaves his mother's womb.
00:33:27Their fate's already been determined.
00:33:29All we'd be doing is...
00:33:31to helping them along a bit.
00:33:36You know, you look very elegant in that new suit.
00:33:44A fine tailoring becomes you.
00:33:49If you think you're gonna convince me like that, you're wrong.
00:33:52I don't care about clothes.
00:33:53But you care about women, right?
00:33:56And a fine one, costs an arm and a leg, at the very least.
00:34:01And that Miss Ginny, she's a very fine one indeed.
00:34:09Beautiful.
00:34:12Talented.
00:34:14Not to mention a fine pair of...
00:34:15All right, you've made your point.
00:34:17But not like this.
00:34:19There's a place in the old town that'll suit us fine.
00:34:51There's a place in the old town that'll suit us fine.
00:35:02It's a place in the old town, right?
00:35:09Take the hideout.
00:35:12Right.
00:35:13Come on.
00:35:14The next one, we just stab in the heart with a knife.
00:35:17No.
00:35:23Look, I have another idea.
00:35:47As a coachman, can't this bloody ring go faster?
00:35:57They're coming.
00:36:02Faster, Willie, faster.
00:36:04Faster!
00:36:17Come on, Willie. Put your back in there.
00:36:42Fuck me.
00:36:52I'm telling you, Willie, it'll be over in a flash.
00:36:54I'm telling you, I don't like this one better.
00:36:56And I am confident that this is the only way.
00:37:00You know, William, I had confidence in a fart once,
00:37:03and I shadowed over myself.
00:37:12Get nobody, meet somebody, coming through the rye.
00:37:17Get nobody, meet somebody, they'll come through the rye.
00:37:25But all the lads, she smiled at me, coming through the...
00:37:34Get nobody, meet somebody, coming through the rye.
00:37:38Get nobody, kiss somebody, they'll come through the rye.
00:37:54Get nobody, meet somebody, they'll come through the rye.
00:37:59Get nobody, kiss somebody, they'll come through the rye.
00:38:02Get nobody, kiss somebody, they'll come through the rye.
00:38:03Get nobody, kiss somebody, they'll come through the rye.
00:38:06Get nobody, kiss somebody, they'll come through the rye.
00:38:08Get nobody, kiss somebody, they'll come through the rye.
00:38:11Get nobody, kiss somebody, they'll come through the rye.
00:38:22Oh
00:38:57Are you all right?
00:38:59This man's untimely and premature death
00:39:03was, as should be fairly obvious to all of you,
00:39:07the direct result of gluttony!
00:39:16I cooked your favourite.
00:39:22Or Broth Smokey and Champet-Tatty.
00:39:36Lovely.
00:39:51I'm not stupid, William.
00:39:53Three dead bodies and a pocket full of money.
00:39:55Doesn't take a genius to work out what the pair of you have been up to.
00:40:00I think it's the best bloody idea you've ever had.
00:40:06One condition, I want a pound for everybody you sell.
00:40:09A pound?
00:40:10Men starts getting fancy clothes.
00:40:13Also starts getting fancy ideas.
00:40:17Just think of it as a tax between a man and a wife.
00:40:21A kind of nuptial agreement, if you will.
00:40:26You may be named lucky, but I am the lucky one, my darling.
00:40:34I got this into you.
00:40:36I'm watching you.
00:40:38I'm watching you.
00:40:39Oh!
00:40:40Champagne!
00:40:41I am impressed, William.
00:40:43That must have set you back a pretty penny.
00:40:45Well, don't you?
00:40:48To good news.
00:40:49To good news?
00:40:52Hmm.
00:40:54What good news?
00:40:55I have decided to finance your play.
00:40:57Pfft!
00:40:58No!
00:40:59Ah!
00:41:00Ah!
00:41:01Mr. Fargo!
00:41:08Who's that over there with Jenny Hawkins?
00:41:13That's Willie Bork.
00:41:16Who?
00:41:16Ready like the gravedigger solvers in the country of William Hare.
00:41:21You're drinking champagne.
00:41:24Find out what his racket is.
00:41:28May I ask what persuaded you to be so bold as to invest in an all-female production of the
00:41:33Scottish play?
00:41:35You have an incredible talent, Jenny.
00:41:38I saw that the night we met.
00:41:39A talent like that is a gift from God.
00:41:42To see it go to waste over something as trivial as money?
00:41:45That would be a travesty.
00:41:46I had no idea you were so passionate about the theatre, Mr. Burke.
00:41:51Not the theatre, Jenny.
00:41:54You.
00:42:02Thank you for a lovely evening, Mr. Burke.
00:42:05Uh, William, please.
00:42:10Oh, sorry.
00:42:13Um...
00:42:16When will I be able to see you again, Jenny?
00:42:18At the Lyceum Theatre.
00:42:20Really? When?
00:42:22When we put down the deposit.
00:42:26Good night, William.
00:42:42I need to make more money. Fast.
00:42:44Don't tell me she'd charge you for the night.
00:42:46She is an actress, not a whore.
00:42:49What's the difference?
00:42:50I am going to finance her play.
00:42:52But with the economy in its current condition, I think I'd have to advise against such a high-risk investment.
00:42:57Not everything is about money, William.
00:43:01William Hare?
00:43:03This is no time to be resting on your laurels.
00:43:06Or to be getting yourself inebriated.
00:43:08You've got a business to run.
00:43:10We was just talking about that.
00:43:12Why don't you join us, love?
00:43:13She knows.
00:43:15Yes.
00:43:15She does.
00:43:17Don't worry, Willie.
00:43:18I can keep my mouth shut.
00:43:19I'm sorry to take so long.
00:43:21I was just having a word with that old lady over there.
00:43:24Tragic story.
00:43:25She's lost her whole family to the pox and it's left her homeless.
00:43:29I'll be back.
00:43:42Look, he's got her drunk.
00:43:43Now, you just hold her still.
00:43:45I'm trying.
00:43:46Hey, you know, this is how they put wounded soldiers out of their misery on the battlefield.
00:43:52Oh, what's that called?
00:43:53It doesn't really have a name.
00:43:56Perhaps we should invent one.
00:43:57We'll just get it over with, William.
00:43:59No, I've got it.
00:43:59I've got it.
00:44:00In honor of my best friend, from now on, this shall be called...
00:44:07Birking.
00:44:07Why are you trying?
00:44:20Yeah!
00:44:22Ah!
00:44:24Help!
00:44:25HELP!
00:44:34Is she dead?
00:44:36I think so.
00:44:45Yeah, she snuffed it.
00:44:46I certainly hope so.
00:45:00And thou, opposed being of no woman born, yet will I try the last.
00:45:07Leon MacDuff, and damned be him who first cry, hold enough!
00:45:14Lucy, that was...
00:45:15Please let go.
00:45:17That was interesting.
00:45:18Well done.
00:45:19We'll, um, we'll be in touch.
00:45:21Just don't hold your breath.
00:45:22Uh, shh.
00:45:23Silence, gentlemen.
00:45:25Sorry.
00:45:27I thought we'd agreed you'd keep your mouth shut.
00:45:29This is costing me enough without incurring any further delays.
00:45:31I was just being honest.
00:45:32This is the theatre, William.
00:45:34It's not a place for honesty.
00:45:36Next!
00:45:38Miss Clarissa Windsor, reading for the part of Macbeth.
00:45:43Thank you!
00:45:44Eh?
00:45:45We're going to need another day of auditions.
00:45:48Maybe even two, Willie.
00:45:51That's not going to be a problem, is it?
00:45:53Uh, no, no.
00:45:55Oh, you take as much time as you like, love.
00:45:57Could you unbutton me, darling?
00:46:02I, uh...
00:46:29I trust all is well with your business.
00:46:31I, uh, can't complain.
00:46:34I just don't know if we're ever going to find a convincing Macbeth.
00:46:38Well, uh, I think you should play the role.
00:46:43What makes you think I could star in direct?
00:46:46Your talent.
00:46:48And your vision.
00:46:49I have.
00:46:50Been blessed with a lot of talent.
00:46:53And I have a vision.
00:46:55Do you think?
00:46:55I know.
00:47:12Climb in, Willie.
00:47:13Hey, we're going for a wee chat with Mr. Macbeth.
00:47:22Let me tell you how things work in this little city of mine.
00:47:27Anyone who attempts to start a new business here has to agree to pay me a small percentage of the
00:47:33gross.
00:47:34And in return, I make sure you stay out of jail.
00:47:38You're not harassed by the authorities, the competition, or any other antagonist that might just come along.
00:47:45So we pay you for protection.
00:47:53Why, yes, I like that.
00:47:55Protection.
00:47:56How much of a percentage are we talking about?
00:47:59Fifty percent.
00:48:00Half?
00:48:00Don't be unhappy, boys.
00:48:03Mr. Macbeth has not yet told you the good part.
00:48:07And, uh, what would be the good part?
00:48:11You get to remain alive.
00:48:25We should leave town immediately.
00:48:28Go to London or America.
00:48:30I think I might even have my cousin there.
00:48:32And quit the most lucrative enterprise we're ever likely to find?
00:48:35I don't think so.
00:48:37Willie, we have identified a demand and found a supply.
00:48:40It's perfect.
00:48:41Yeah, but MacTavish is not for full shilling, is he?
00:48:44The last thing I want to do is get into bed with that man.
00:48:46Ah, but you do want to get into bed with Ginny, right?
00:48:48And to do that, you're going to have to stay right here and continue to finance our play.
00:48:53Well, oh, great Neptune's ocean washed this blood clean from my hand.
00:49:00No!
00:49:02This is my hand, brother!
00:49:04Oh, two of the seas in Carradine.
00:49:07But the green one's red.
00:49:09My hands are of your colour, but I am shamed to wear a heart so white.
00:49:15Wait, stop right there.
00:49:16Oh, what now?
00:49:18No, something's still not quite right.
00:49:20I need a minute to think.
00:49:22Ginny, please!
00:49:23Just say the words!
00:49:36I can't work out what makes this character commit murder.
00:49:40Why, Ginny, he does it for love and power.
00:49:49Macbeth isn't wholly evil.
00:49:51There are traces of goodness and regret within him.
00:49:55That's what makes him such a great tragic hero.
00:49:56Oh, the whole play is about his inner struggle between good and evil, right and wrong.
00:50:07Yeah, I've hidden depths, William.
00:50:11Women like that in a man.
00:50:17May I see you tonight?
00:50:18Oh, um, I don't think that's a good idea.
00:50:23I've got costume fittings tomorrow.
00:50:31This is ground-breaking work, sir.
00:50:35Now, the king will be in residence at Holyrood in just three weeks.
00:50:39Will this work be completed in time?
00:50:40I shall have to step up the pace, but I don't foresee any major problems.
00:50:45Sir Astley Cooper acquired his knighthood by having successfully lanced a boil on the king's head.
00:50:50I can only begin to imagine the level of patronage his majesty will confer on you having seen these, uh...
00:50:57Oh, I'm, um, I'm calling them photographs.
00:51:01Sir.
00:51:03Photographs.
00:51:05Excellent!
00:51:08My lord.
00:51:10Gentlemen.
00:51:18Any difficulties acquiring subjects, Doctor?
00:51:21I'll admit the anatomical by-law was a temporary inconvenience.
00:51:25But not even you, Monroe, can stand in the way of progress.
00:51:30Good day, gentlemen.
00:51:38You know, you've got a good business going there, Willie.
00:51:40I know.
00:51:41I know.
00:51:42But the problem is product acquisition.
00:51:47What?
00:51:47Oh, killing people.
00:51:49That's how you acquire your product.
00:51:51It's not efficient.
00:51:52I know.
00:51:52It's bloody hard work.
00:51:53That's what it is.
00:51:54People are starting to notice, you know.
00:51:56There's all kinds of crazy rumours flying around the Westport, but...
00:52:01Keep going, Willie.
00:52:02Helps me think.
00:52:04Oh, oh.
00:52:05The thing is that nobody likes dealing with dead bodies, so...
00:52:09For a fee, you could take them off their hands.
00:52:12Sell them a coffin for their loved ones.
00:52:14Arrange a burial.
00:52:15And when people are grieving, they don't think about how much things cost.
00:52:18We could call it a funeral store.
00:52:20Oh, funeral store and all.
00:52:26Sounds too down market.
00:52:28I'd prefer something like funeral parlour.
00:52:31Oh, God, yes!
00:52:33Yes, that's a fantastic idea!
00:52:35Oh, don't stop!
00:52:36Don't stop, Willie!
00:52:38I'm almost there!
00:52:39Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
00:52:52Oh!
00:52:53Ah, Mr. Hare.
00:52:55Dr. Knox would like the pleasure of your company.
00:52:58As from now, I shall require two bodies a week.
00:53:03Fresh ones, mind you, in good condition.
00:53:06That won't be easy, doctor.
00:53:08Mr. Hare, I've never asked you how you came by these subjects.
00:53:11Oh, my partner and I have arrangements
00:53:15with the low-lodging houses in the Westport.
00:53:17Whenever someone dies...
00:53:19Mr. Hare, I'm a doctor.
00:53:21I know the difference between death by natural and unnatural causes.
00:53:27Edinburgh is a very dangerous place, Dr. Knox.
00:53:30And something tells me that recently it's become a lot more dangerous.
00:53:36I don't presume to judge, Mr. Hare.
00:53:40But I know that as a result of my work and the doctors I train,
00:53:48thousands, perhaps millions of lives will be saved.
00:53:53Two a week, Mr. Hare. Can you manage that?
00:54:00At your service, sir.
00:54:05What more could a man ask for?
00:54:07Mighty fine place you have here, gentlemen.
00:54:10How much will you be asking?
00:54:13Nothing.
00:54:25Wait! Do something!
00:54:36On hand, my boys!
00:54:40Gentlemen, we live, thank God, in enlightened times.
00:54:46The watchword of our age is progress.
00:54:49Progress.
00:54:50Progress in the arts.
00:54:57Progress in science.
00:54:59Progress in technology.
00:55:02Progress in transportation.
00:55:14Progress in society.
00:55:17Please help me.
00:55:18Please help me.
00:55:19Get your sketchbook.
00:55:21In all these fields, we've moved further and faster in the last two decades than in the previous two centuries.
00:55:28Never before have ordinary people had so much freedom and opportunity.
00:55:36The year is 1828 and we are building a new world.
00:55:43A new and better world.
00:55:49A new and better world.
00:56:12It is not a time for craft measures.
00:56:15This is not a time to sit on our achievements.
00:56:20It is the time to work harder and faster than ever before.
00:56:31Gentlemen, I give you a multiple dissection.
00:56:55You don't think I look a little bit too masculine?
00:56:59You know, too much like a man.
00:57:00I think you look lovely.
00:57:03I'll see you on Friday.
00:57:09I'll see you on Friday.
00:57:35I'll see you on Friday.
00:57:41The militia have posters up all over the streets.
00:57:44Of us?
00:57:45No!
00:57:46Of the people we've...
00:57:48You know...
00:57:52They're closing in, William.
00:57:54Then it's our good fortune that we're not doing it anymore.
00:57:57I've been doing the songs, Willie.
00:57:59And you've got enough money put aside to start our new business.
00:58:03What new business?
00:58:06Funeral parlors.
00:58:07Funeral parlors?
00:58:09It's a place where people bring bodies to be buried.
00:58:12And we wouldn't have to kill them.
00:58:13They're already dead!
00:58:18I like it.
00:58:19I knew you would.
00:58:20We're going straight to the top, Ollie.
00:58:23And nobody, nobody is going to stop us.
00:58:48All right, I...
00:58:49Shh, everyone.
00:58:52I'd like to propose a toast
00:58:54to the man whose hard work
00:58:56and whose commitment
00:58:59made this possible.
00:59:00To William Burke.
00:59:03To William Burke!
00:59:04Oh, William Burke!
00:59:06No, come on now.
00:59:10You embarrass me.
00:59:12I know.
00:59:18It's me!
00:59:20Oh, Willie.
00:59:21I don't know how to thank you.
00:59:23I can think of a few years.
00:59:31Come to my ticket, Danny.
00:59:33Blood and guts aren't entertainment for me, William.
00:59:36They're business.
00:59:38Now get in.
00:59:45I've decided to bring you and Mr. Burke
00:59:48into the firm.
00:59:50Sorry?
00:59:51You're of regular employment.
00:59:53A steady wage.
00:59:55We'll be partners.
00:59:57Partners?
00:59:58Is it?
01:00:02But...
01:00:03Willie and I
01:00:04are out of the body
01:00:05snatching business now.
01:00:06Hmm.
01:00:07So you say.
01:00:09Do I have a choice, Danny?
01:00:11Of course you do, William.
01:00:13Free will is what
01:00:14distinguishes man from beast.
01:00:28Our final subject.
01:00:30Our final subject.
01:00:37Isn't that Danny McTavish?
01:00:41Danny McTavish is being dissected by Dr. Knox.
01:00:50I am Captain McClintock, and this is the Edinburgh Militia.
01:00:56Your reputation precedes you, Captain McClintock.
01:01:01Thank you, sir.
01:01:03Your preposterous war on grave robbery was a model of incompetence.
01:01:07It has come to my attention, sir, that earlier on today, you publicly dissected a corpse.
01:01:13Well, if this is him, then your information is correct.
01:01:20Pull yourself together, Private.
01:01:24How did you obtain this body, Patterson?
01:01:28I believe it was dumped in the alley behind this building.
01:01:31Some students found him.
01:01:32This is a notorious villain, Danny McTavish.
01:01:36Well, at least his demise might not be in vain.
01:01:38St. Peter might look kindly on his services to the teaching of medicine.
01:01:48Fox, show me your hand.
01:01:55A defensive wound.
01:01:57Clear evidence of foul play.
01:01:59And you, sir, have been tampering with that evidence.
01:02:03That's an outrageous accusation, Captain McClintock.
01:02:07I shall be reporting this matter to the Solicitor General.
01:02:11Lord Harrington will back my judgment on this.
01:02:14I state my job in it.
01:02:15You just did.
01:02:24The raven himself is part of the world.
01:02:32Jenny?
01:02:34How many people are out there?
01:02:36Standing room on way.
01:02:44When shall we three meet again?
01:02:49In thunder, lightning, or in rain?
01:02:55When the hurly-burly's done, when the battle's lost and won,
01:03:00that will be air, the scent of the scent.
01:03:04Oh, where the bling?
01:03:07Upon the heath.
01:03:09There to meet we.
01:03:12Not there.
01:03:27If I stand here, I saw him.
01:03:30My, for shame.
01:03:32Blood hath been shed here now in the olden time.
01:03:36Her humane statute purged the gentle wheel.
01:03:42Why?
01:03:43Since two murders have been committed.
01:03:47Too terrible for the air!
01:03:48There was a time that when the brains were out, the man would die, and there an end.
01:03:57But now, he rise again, with 20 mortal murderers on their crown, and push us from our stools!
01:04:10Oh, this is more strange than such a murderers.
01:04:16Oh, how missing persons are here.
01:04:20Qu'est-ce que vous faites ici?
01:04:22Who did all this?
01:04:25C'est moi.
01:04:40Bravo!
01:04:41Oh, my God!
01:04:59Ginny?
01:05:01I think they liked it.
01:05:02If I have curtain calls and a stunning ovation,
01:05:04I'd say it's a smush head.
01:05:05This is the happiest day of my life.
01:05:08What's wrong, Lily?
01:05:09You don't seem happy.
01:05:12I'm happy for you, Gin.
01:05:13I...
01:05:14I just can't help thinking, now this is over,
01:05:17you don't really need me anymore.
01:05:19You're right.
01:05:20I don't need you.
01:05:23But I do want you.
01:05:26Really?
01:05:30Oh!
01:05:31We should take the play to London.
01:05:34Make it musical.
01:05:35I'm blessed with the voice of an angel.
01:05:37Aye, they could do with something new in the West End.
01:05:39Besides, Edinburgh's changed.
01:05:40You know, people have changed.
01:05:43I've changed.
01:05:44Me too.
01:05:47All I want is to be together, Willie.
01:05:49Tonight?
01:05:50Tomorrow.
01:05:51Tonight I'm the star, I'm the shine.
01:05:53Oh, there's Mary!
01:05:54Mary!
01:05:55Oh, Ginny!
01:05:57They absolutely love us!
01:06:05These are not bad, but as you can see, the heliograph is the future.
01:06:10Did you kill these people?
01:06:12Certainly not!
01:06:13What?
01:06:14They were all already...
01:06:15How you say?
01:06:17Shipped into pieces.
01:06:18You disgusting little French fop!
01:06:21I was just doing what I was told.
01:06:23What you were told?
01:06:25Told by whom?
01:06:30How do I look, Patterson?
01:06:32Like someone who's about to go down in history, sir.
01:06:40Yes?
01:06:41We have questions on urgent militia matters for Dr. Knox.
01:06:46He's not here.
01:06:51How?
01:06:55Well, I'd appreciate if you could tell us where we could find him.
01:06:59He's making an official presentation at Holyrood Palace.
01:07:07Sharpen up, then.
01:07:09We're going to pay the king a visit.
01:07:10What?
01:07:15Morning, Willie.
01:07:20For the love of Lord Jesus, he finally gave it up.
01:07:23No!
01:07:25No.
01:07:27Well, I'm pretty sure tonight's the night.
01:07:30I know this amazing trick you can do with your tongue.
01:07:34Thank you, William.
01:07:41Well, that could have been worse.
01:07:43You mean if he'd fallen asleep earlier?
01:07:46Excuse me, what would you like us to do with these?
01:07:48Sir?
01:07:49I don't care.
01:07:50Just get rid of them.
01:07:52Dr. Robert Knox!
01:07:56The king is looking forward to seeing your map of the human body.
01:08:00Excellent.
01:08:01My advice is to keep the presentation short,
01:08:04and don't ask him to read too much.
01:08:07His majesty can just, um, look at the pictures.
01:08:13Dr. Robert Knox!
01:08:15Stop right there!
01:08:21I demand you hand over these photographs
01:08:24in the name of the Solicitor General.
01:08:27May I remind you, Captain, that I am the Solicitor General.
01:08:32What exactly do you think you're doing here?
01:08:34Solving a crime, sir.
01:08:40What on earth are you talking about?
01:08:42I'm talking about murder, sir.
01:08:44That volume contains evidence of foul play.
01:08:47I don't know what this absurd little man is trying to prove,
01:08:50but he's making a mockery of our profession.
01:08:52I want him removed.
01:08:53It is you, sir, who is making a mockery of the medical profession.
01:08:57And if there is one single shred of truth in this man's allegations,
01:09:04we shall all have to pay the price.
01:09:09His majesty has asked to see my work.
01:09:12I intend to fulfill his wish.
01:09:15Good day.
01:09:17Either you hand over the evidence, Dr. Knox,
01:09:21or I'll be forced to arrest you.
01:09:23You're not touching it!
01:09:50Two constit bathing units during this war day.
01:09:51I look very curious.
01:09:51No matter who you heard.
01:09:51Maybe there's someone in jail.
01:09:53My 40 minutes in jail,
01:09:54I'll be occupied to the landed area of the night.
01:09:55And I was collecting some kinds of kinkioniards.
01:09:55None of these devient killing me.
01:09:56How many cadavers were used to create the portfolio?
01:10:03Sixteen.
01:10:04Sixteen?
01:10:05And who provided the sixteen cadavers?
01:10:42The End
01:10:44Edinburgh militia! Nobody moves!
01:10:47Oh, for the love of Lord Jesus!
01:10:49I beg your pardon.
01:10:59Mr and Mrs here.
01:11:01I'm arresting you both on suspicion of murder in the first degree.
01:11:12We did terrible things, William.
01:11:14A man has a right to scratch out a living.
01:11:17Nobody's gonna blame us for that.
01:11:19Jenny can.
01:11:21No.
01:11:24She's gonna find out, isn't she?
01:11:26She'll know everything.
01:11:29I won't lie to you, will I?
01:11:31It is a possibility.
01:11:42This is unbelievable.
01:11:45I can see the headline.
01:11:47Macbeth accused of murder.
01:11:49You really have no idea, do you?
01:11:54Captain, you have no right to keep us here.
01:11:57I have every right.
01:11:59Will you please sit down?
01:12:03Now, Mrs here, I have some question I'd like to ask you.
01:12:06I'm not saying anything.
01:12:08Especially not to a Presbyterian.
01:12:10I'm half-Jewish.
01:12:12I'm being persecuted by a heathen!
01:12:15This is an outrage.
01:12:17I demand to speak to the solicitor general.
01:12:20I demand to be released immediately.
01:12:21Immediately?
01:12:22I demand to speak to a Catholic.
01:12:25Miss Hawkins and Miss Eyre, however you keep quiet,
01:12:28I'll have you both shot!
01:12:34Wee Captain Tam McClintock of the Edinburgh Melissa
01:12:38has apprehended the perpetrators
01:12:40of the notorious Westport Murders.
01:12:43The list of victims include
01:12:46Mrs Mary O'Toole of the Newtown,
01:12:49Daft Jamie of the Westport,
01:12:52the freed slave John Martin of London,
01:12:56Mrs Susannah McCartendale of Aberdeen,
01:12:59in the river below!
01:13:03I demand you disperse immediately!
01:13:06First of all, I'm on the side!
01:13:09I'm on the side!
01:13:14I'm on the side!
01:13:17I'm on the side!
01:13:18I'm on the side!
01:13:24I'm on the side!
01:13:27I'm on the side!
01:13:29You bastard!
01:13:30You bastard!
01:13:30Do you have to see!
01:13:33Do you have to see!
01:13:36Do you have to see!
01:13:39Do you do nothing in hell?
01:13:41Do you have to see!
01:13:43I can't live with this on my conscience!
01:13:46Alright?
01:13:48I've got to confess!
01:13:53The minute we're out of here, we'll find you a priest.
01:13:56There's no way I will ever be redeemed
01:13:57in the eyes of the Lord Almighty.
01:13:59I've got to confess to the proper authorities here on earth.
01:14:02That's not such a good idea, Willie.
01:14:07Because you'd be putting a noose around your own neck.
01:14:11It's no more than I deserve.
01:14:16Not to mention putting a noose around my neck.
01:14:22And Lockie's.
01:14:27And Jenny's.
01:14:34Let me handle this.
01:14:36Ah! Pleasure to see you again, Captain.
01:14:40All right. Can you tell us what we're supposed to have done?
01:14:44Sixteen counts of first-degree murder.
01:14:48That does sound serious.
01:14:50And do you have any of the bodies?
01:14:53Do you have any eyewitnesses?
01:14:55In fact, do you have a single shred of evidence?
01:15:00It's all in there, laddie.
01:15:18Captain, a message from Lord Harrington, sir.
01:15:20He wants to see you, sir.
01:15:22He wants to see you, sir.
01:15:22At your earliest convenience.
01:15:24His lordship also said to bring Dr. Knox's portfolio with you.
01:15:41Captain, take a seat.
01:15:42Oh, thank you, Lord.
01:15:45Chocolate.
01:15:46Ah, thank you, Lord.
01:15:48The Lord Provost and I are very interested to know how we're doing on this case.
01:15:53Well, at present, I have Mr. Burke and Mr. Hare under lock and key.
01:15:59I'm not admitting anything, but I'm sure by the time I finish for them, they will crack.
01:16:03I'm sure of that.
01:16:05But is that really what we want, Captain?
01:16:09Excuse me, sir?
01:16:09This city is renowned for its medical facilities.
01:16:13Students come from all over the world to train in our anatomy schools.
01:16:18They bring a great deal of money with them.
01:16:21We're rightfully proud of our status and of our traditions.
01:16:26It would be a pity to sully them with a scandal such as a high-profile murder trial.
01:16:32Especially a murder trial that might compromise the reputations of our esteemed teaching hospitals.
01:16:38You're surely not suggesting that I let these two men go free?
01:16:42No, no.
01:16:43We need someone to swing for these crimes, but no trial.
01:16:47The city will gladly show its gratitude for your delicate handling of this affair.
01:16:52In fact, in a city of this standing, surely the militia should be commanded by a major or even a
01:17:00colonel.
01:17:03Indeed.
01:17:04Rest assured, my lord, my lords, that the city can rely on me.
01:17:09That's settled, then.
01:17:14We'll look after that, Colonel.
01:17:18Thank you, my lord.
01:17:20My lord.
01:17:21Thank you, my lord.
01:17:29Thank you, my lord.
01:17:45Huh?
01:17:45So let me get this straight, Captain.
01:17:47Colonel.
01:17:50Colonel?
01:17:53If one of us confesses to having committed these crimes, the others will walk free.
01:18:01Precisely.
01:18:02But that is outrageous!
01:18:03We're all innocent!
01:18:05Nobody's gonna confess to a crime they didn't commit just to make you popular with a mob out there!
01:18:10It's all right, William!
01:18:12This is the chance for one of us to do the decent thing.
01:18:14You call that decent?
01:18:17What kind of man would do such a thing?
01:18:22I will.
01:18:28Thank you, God.
01:18:31On one condition.
01:18:51I know what you did.
01:18:54I am so sorry, Jenny.
01:18:57I...
01:18:59I don't expect you to forgive my...
01:19:01It's just so romantic.
01:19:05Confessing to save the life of your lover.
01:19:10It's like Shakespeare.
01:19:16For never was there a story of such woe as of Jenny and Romeo.
01:19:27I will go, down to her if you want.
01:19:34You were so sorry, old man.
01:19:34I'll go, I'll go.
01:19:34And you have to go.
01:19:35To see you again, when a couple of years came up and started to enter into a world that
01:19:35is so cute and not too OPFORMED.
01:19:35I have to give up with Stuart andaji.
01:19:35Go check!
01:19:35I will go!
01:19:38Bye!
01:19:44Bye!
01:20:02The End
01:20:37William Burke of the Westport, formerly of County Donegal in Ireland.
01:20:43You are convicted of the heinous crimes of grave robbery and multiple murder.
01:20:53Sir, do you have anything to say before you're consigned to hell?
01:21:00Only this.
01:21:06I did it for love.
01:21:31I did it for love.
01:21:39I know he seemed like a nice guy and all that.
01:21:47And I suppose you have to respect the fact that he made the ultimate sacrifice for love.
01:21:55But he did kill all those people just for money.
01:21:58And that's just evil.
01:22:07That's for the rest of them.
01:22:11The Doctor ended up in the new world.
01:22:14After all, anything goes over there.
01:22:24Fergus took protection to a new level and made a fortune selling life insurance.
01:22:31As for our French friend here, he also became a minor celebrity.
01:22:37He returned to Paris and continued his work.
01:22:46I can't live without you.
01:22:47You're beautiful.
01:22:48Oh, arrête, arrête.
01:22:50C'est cheese...
01:22:54Hommage.
01:22:54Nisophore is widely credited as one of the inventors of photography.
01:22:59Parfait.
01:23:00Bravo.
01:23:02Lord Harrington, having weathered the storm of the Westport murders, was later forced to resign
01:23:08after Colonel Wee-Tam McClintock's racy private memoirs were a publishing sensation.
01:23:15But the real star turned out to be Professor Munro's young assistant, Charles Darwin.
01:23:21He went on to write a book that sold almost as well as the Bible.
01:23:26It said,
01:23:27Only the fittest survive.
01:23:29And living proof of that is young Ginny.
01:23:32She finally overcame her grief and became a popular actress.
01:23:38She's terrible.
01:23:40Well, not that popular.
01:23:42As for our two heroes, William Hare followed his dream.
01:23:54In the end, only Hare got the royal seal.
01:23:59And William Burke ended up in the same place as his victims.
01:24:03Where shall I start?
01:24:07I think the feat.
01:24:12When I wake up
01:24:14Well, I know I'm gonna be
01:24:16I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
01:24:20When I go out
01:24:21Yeah, I know I'm gonna be
01:24:23I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
01:24:27If I get drunk
01:24:28If I get drunk
01:24:29Well, I know I'm gonna be
01:24:31I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
01:24:34And if I have a
01:24:36And if I have a
