00:01They killed my brother.
00:02So I killed one of theirs.
00:04When the killer pulled out his gun,
00:06an inch of his wrist was uncovered,
00:08his skin was black.
00:09We're interested in a man who lives in the Wapping Wall.
00:12The fighter.
00:13Mr. Moscow!
00:14This is Prince Albert Victor.
00:16Second in line to the British throne.
00:18He said you have an offer for me.
00:19I have land.
00:20A sugar plantation in Jamaica.
00:22It's a place called Morant Bay.
00:24If you lead me to victory, then it's yours.
00:26A job's come through from New York.
00:27We have an associate on the way.
00:29She's a very smart woman.
00:30You want me to run?
00:32Well, if you don't,
00:33there'll be a war.
00:35Hezekiah Moscow,
00:36the day of judgment is upon you.
00:43I can't handle this.
00:44You take care of the girls.
01:08A study taken down,
01:09If you look very important,
01:14Should have been understanding of the bands.
01:15Go and touch them.
01:15파 zijn k régen.
01:23ZRAG PM .
01:58You're good, sir.
01:59The Jeremy family and the fighting men of Bellafone Castle demand that vile murdering beast be handed over to our
02:08custody here and now.
02:10Or I will burn the blue coat void to the ground with all the souls contained therein.
02:17Jesus.
02:25Last chance, sugar.
02:28I will talk to you.
02:29And you only, bull.
02:31Oh, Mary.
02:34Is that your pretty voice I can hear?
02:38I should have known you had a hand in this.
02:42Right, sugar.
02:43We can hand her over and all.
02:44Well, if we take both of them, we'd be on our way.
02:49My answer is fucking no.
02:55We don't give up souls on good sincerity.
03:03Fuck it.
03:09I am the man you seek.
03:12Ezekiah Moscow.
03:14Nice to put a voice to the name.
03:17There's only one honorable way of ending this.
03:20You and I fight.
03:22One to one.
03:25Why are you?
03:27What, I say you've got a deal?
03:32They will kill you.
03:34Get in there, get Mary.
03:35Drag that fucking bitch out here.
04:05There's a guy at Moscow.
04:07A man himself.
04:26What happens after your fate?
04:31I love it all about you, boy.
04:33I think, I think this helps even up the odds, boys.
04:36Boys, what do you think, eh?
04:38This makes it fair.
04:45Switch it.
04:46Come on, boy.
04:48Come on.
04:53What the fuck are we supposed to do now, Mary?
04:55Listen, I had Indigo done in.
04:57For us.
04:59Now you can cower here like lambs to the fucking slaughter,
05:01or you can back me all the way and finish this.
05:08Well, looks like the savage has won the day.
05:12But the day's not over yet.
05:36There she is. Murdering fucking whore.
05:47Come on. Shit. They're coming inside.
05:53What'll it be then? Well, come on, girl.
06:13Fuck it, dude.
06:14Oh, shit.
06:27Oh, shit.
06:29Oh, shit.
06:33Oh, shit.
06:35Oh, shit.
06:38Daddy.
06:39Oh dear.
06:41Josh!
06:43No!
06:54Oi!
07:09No!
07:10No!
07:11No!
07:29We're wrong with you.
07:31No!
07:44Come on, I'll fuck you, I'll fuck you, come on.
07:48I'm on, I'm on, I'm on, I'm on.
08:03Your kings are dead.
08:05You are a disgrace to the elephant name.
08:10Take your wounded back home with this message.
08:15The forty elephants have risen.
08:20I am queen.
08:23Now fuck up!
08:53If we live, we live for the lot.
08:57And if we die, we die for the Lord.
09:03In a time where life hangs in the balance, it can be difficult to find solace.
09:09But it can be found when we understand the nature of God.
09:14Oh, come on. We don't need you, God.
09:17She's a fighter.
09:20She's gonna live.
09:21The house of God is always open to you, Mr. Goodson.
09:24For we are all his children.
09:26No, no, no.
09:26She's to come, you fucking ghoul.
09:31I understand your anger.
09:33I'm sorry, Father. I'll show you that.
09:53You're bleeding.
09:56It's nothing.
09:57Hm.
10:16How is she?
10:19She'll survive.
10:32So, are you still planning to go back to Jamaica?
10:36I have something that keeps me here a little longer.
10:40What kind of something?
10:43Business.
10:47Well, talking of business, I could do with some of your rooms.
10:59You should go back to Elephant and Castle.
11:02I don't feel at home south of the river.
11:05A queen with no palace?
11:07A boxer with no ring.
11:09A man and woman with no kind words to say to each other.
11:21You can take rooms at the Green Dolphin.
11:26But I don't want no trouble.
11:31How?
11:35That's all.
11:55Mary.
11:58I received word that the Germans marched on Wapping Wall.
12:02And you came out on top.
12:05No thanks to you.
12:07You don't know what you're talking about.
12:12You knew they were coming, and you didn't warn me.
12:16I tried, but there wasn't time.
12:19I don't think you did.
12:20What would I have to gain from having my daughter killed?
12:23To kill a creature that crawled out of you and ruined you?
12:25I don't know. I don't know what goes through your head.
12:29I built the 40 elephants.
12:31Wretched women who find means to survive in a world that hated us.
12:36I had to make sure we survived, even if it meant putting you in harm's way.
12:41You had to show them that you were worthy of the crown you now were.
12:46Why are you saying all this?
12:55Because my days are numbered.
12:58There is a growth inside my belly.
13:01Another face saving lie.
13:05No.
13:09You can feel it.
13:14A notch.
13:18It's a strange thing.
13:21Very strange.
13:25But I've gotten what I wanted.
13:29You are queen again.
13:32Stronger than ever.
13:34I will die, Abby.
13:37You always look to me for something I can't give.
13:44I gave you something much more precious instead.
13:47I gave you the tools to survive.
13:50I gave you a family.
13:54Don't you see it?
14:11You are here for two or two.
14:18Come talk.
14:23I said talk to Julie.
14:23I gave you theं cualquier station.
14:29It is a palace in space.
14:29You are such a good place.
14:31I stayed
14:31Please don't hide.
15:04I don't know.
15:10serious accidents may occur from doing so.
15:13The mouth will be firmly closed.
15:16Good afternoon, Mr. Moskow.
15:18Good afternoon.
15:22You're right, Linus.
15:24Mr. Moskow, I can't tell you how much I've been looking forward
15:28to today's session.
15:36Have you been boxing, Mr. Moskow?
15:38Yeah, you could say that.
15:41An unsanctioned boat.
15:43Right, well, I won't inquire further.
15:49Well, I'm going to box today.
15:53I'm going to talk.
15:57All right.
16:01And what is it that we'll be talking about?
16:03Sir, the man you will be facing, and the fundamental question,
16:11why do you want to fight, Your Royal Highness?
16:15It is a vendetta.
16:17I want satisfaction.
16:21I want satisfaction.
16:22No, no.
16:26Look, you might not understand, but as an English royal,
16:28I am bound by an ancient code of honor.
16:31Then tell me.
16:34I was a naval cadet for three years.
16:37Now, you might assume that someone of my standing would be shielded from the brutish mess-deck culture.
16:44Yes?
16:45But you'd be wrong.
16:47There was an older boy.
16:49Well, he made my life a living nightmare.
16:53But I am a man, now.
16:55And one day, I shall be king.
16:58And when I finally beat him,
17:01I shall be worthy.
17:10There are plenty, plenty trainers at West London Boxing Club.
17:16Better suited to this type of fight.
17:19No, but you're different.
17:21I wasn't talking about your skin color.
17:24I meant your style.
17:25It's evidently different.
17:26The fruits of it.
17:29I don't follow.
17:29Look, I want the best trainer.
17:33I want someone with that deadly touch.
17:39What?
17:46Boxing is an art and a science.
17:50One thing it is not is the pursuit of another man's death.
17:57And I hope I'm clear.
18:01Here.
18:06And if you want to talk about killing,
18:09look closer to home, hmm?
18:13Look around you, and remember where all the ladies came from.
18:16Listen here.
18:17I am more than aware of the blood that has been spilt on my family's behalf.
18:22But what I can do about it is another matter entirely.
18:26One thing I can do, Mr. Moscow, is have you train me.
18:29That way I will surely win.
18:32And then you will get your reward.
18:48Wait.
18:49Hezekiah.
18:51Hezekiah.
18:54Hezekiah.
19:02Hezekiah.
19:04No.
19:05He thinks I'm a savage.
19:05He's a kind, no.
19:07How low do you want me to stoop?
19:09Lady Victoria.
19:11How low?
19:13My family and I are the beneficiaries of the Queen's kindness.
19:18Yet, she claims my homeland is hers.
19:22And whilst I see the hypocrisy, I also understand my position.
19:27It tells me that for all that is wrong with my life, it is better for me to stay.
19:34Or maybe you've been lying to yourself this entire time.
19:39I imagine your recollection of the Buster-Williams fight is tainted.
19:43But for me, I saw someone in total command of their art.
19:49Grace, poise, elegance, and the most profound dignity in the face of a hostile crowd.
19:56A hostile country.
20:00I hope you know that this arrangement was never solely about land and boxing.
20:08I hope you know that.
20:43You can't tell His Royal Highness that I will continue to train, but not here.
20:50He can come to Wapping, if he dare.
20:55I want to shatter his delusions.
20:57I want him to see men fighting not for honor, but for the next meal.
21:04Only them can he understand.
21:16Jane's sick.
21:18She's dying.
21:33It was going to happen one day.
21:35She deserves what's coming to her.
21:37You let God be her judge.
21:39Be thankful for what your mother leaves you with.
21:42Your mother?
21:45We're talking to a woman who loves stray birds more than me.
21:49They stuck me in a workhouse because she saw my father in my eyes.
21:58You coming with me to Wapping Mall or are you just going to sit all day and inquire into my
22:02emotions?
22:04We've got a lot to celebrate.
22:10I can't come with you.
22:17I'm Queen again.
22:19And I need my Eliza.
22:21Oh, Mary.
22:24I'll always be loyal to you.
22:27But the women in the factory, they need me.
22:30You're choosing working women over your elephants?
22:32We're all working women in the cold light of day.
22:35What's the difference, really?
22:38Don't they hate me?
22:41Oh, please.
22:46I could never hate you.
22:51Come on.
22:53You've got to be strong.
22:58Go find Verity.
23:01You're going to need her.
23:03You'll be fine, Queen Mary.
23:37Father, sir.
23:42Is that him?
23:44Is that Charles Duval?
23:49It is.
23:50At least something good came of this street battle.
23:53What about the dynamite?
23:56We haven't found it yet.
23:59Anarchists, criminals, they're running amok.
24:04This city...
24:05It's on the verge of chaos.
24:13We've launched search operations on all commercial properties across Walken Docks.
24:18We're pulling people in for questioning around the clock.
24:21And we've arrested the man that we suspect smuggled the violin.
24:24The veteran by the name of Jack Mack.
24:27If he knows anything about the dynamite, we'll get it out of him.
24:31Who was it between?
24:33What?
24:33The street battle.
24:35Those were elephant and castle men.
24:37The Goodsons got wrapped up in it somehow.
24:39Some say the whole thing was puppeteered by Mary Carr.
24:43Are you sure?
24:45Witness had her declaring herself as Queen again.
24:48Not just of her women.
24:49The whole elephant gang.
24:51So we have a stash of dynamite, unaccounted for.
24:55And a Jezebel running loose, declaring herself as Queen in the same city Her Majesty lives and rules from.
25:04If I were you, I would find that dynamite before Mary Carr does.
25:38I'd like to import a fuck-tonne of good luck and treat yourself to some while you're at it.
25:44Mary.
25:45Ah, she remembers my name at least.
25:48You can't stay long I'm afraid.
25:50I'm very busy.
25:52The chairman is in today.
25:54I won't keep you too long.
25:58You're not planning on turning the place over are you?
25:59You know, I'm just here to see how my variety is getting on in life.
26:04What's the nature of your employment anyway?
26:08Correspondence mainly.
26:10The chairman has American shipments coming to Liverpool.
26:14Look, it's an honest living.
26:16A normal life.
26:19No one wants to kill you here which makes a change.
26:22I have a salary.
26:2420 quid a year.
26:25I'm off the drink.
26:26My kids are looked after.
26:27And it's a satisfying job.
26:30Looks pretty fucking dull.
26:32From where I'm standing.
26:34And lonely.
26:37I'm on the straight and narrow, that's what matters.
26:40There you go, Ross.
26:41You found work in one of the dirtiest businesses on God's green earth and you ain't no fucking saint.
26:45So, come on.
26:46What's your angle with?
26:49You log a shipment.
26:51Do a bit of magic, something pulls off the back of the ship.
26:53For fuck's sake.
26:5840 elephants are back.
27:02The trumpet went over the rooftops.
27:05It went...
27:05We need our very rough space for the biggest of jobs.
27:11We need our...
27:13Forth Girard.
27:14Forth Girard.
27:20Forth Girard.
27:23Besides that last one you came looking for.
27:27I wasn't going to come to you unless I had everyone.
27:29That's good, it's true.
27:35Ah, you can find me at the Green Dolphin.
27:44You look good.
28:25MUSIC PLAYS
28:28Walking back to the scene of your crimes, Mary Carr.
28:31I heard an elephant's civil war unfolded here,
28:34and you've arisen as the victim.
28:37Congratulations.
28:44Can I offer you my commiserations?
28:46It seems you're still stuck in the depraved East End
28:49when you'd much rather be bowing and curtsying
28:52in Her Majesty's court.
28:54You always have something in the works.
28:57So what's next for you?
28:59We're a retirement to the countryside with six great things.
29:03I think I know why I rubbed you up the wrong way.
29:06Oh, do enlighten me.
29:07I proved the old lie is wrong,
29:09that common people are thick and should know their place.
29:12Now, at some point in your life,
29:14you realised you'd been told a lie,
29:16but you'd spent a lifetime protecting it,
29:19so your only option is to suppress the truth.
29:25Mary.
29:27You may lack morality and refinement,
29:29but you clearly have an instinct for survival.
29:31Right now, your survival depends on you leaving London.
29:37That's your future.
29:40This?
29:41It's just a courtesy call.
29:43Oh, well, thank you for your concern.
29:47I have done terrible things to protect this country.
29:54And I would do them again.
29:58In a heartbeat.
30:04All I see is a foot soldier.
30:11A man.
30:13Doomed to wander the dead-end streets
30:16and walk in for all eternity.
30:20That's biblical, that is.
30:27Now, if you'll excuse me,
30:29I'll have a dinner to a den.
30:32THE END
30:43HE LAUGHS
30:46Well...
30:47Yes!
30:48Don't take the ring!
30:49I wasn't even in the bed!
30:52Bloody hell, look who it is!
30:54Oh, anxiety!
30:55Sit yourself down.
30:57Can we get in your glass?
30:59Actually, no, thanks.
31:01Bloody fucking daddy.
31:02She really did go straight, didn't she?
31:04With a drink, as straight as an arrow.
31:07You're my professional work, what do you think?
31:09What a lovely sight this is.
31:12Warms me to see it.
31:15We've had our scraps, we've done our time in the wilderness,
31:17but we are still fucking here.
31:20I'd like to propose a toast.
31:23Verity fucking Ross, ladies and gentlemen.
31:26She's back in the room.
31:33My apologies for the interruption.
31:36I wasn't expecting quite so many of you.
31:40Ladies, this is Sophie Lyons,
31:43friend from New York.
31:45Make some room.
31:47I don't need pickpockets, sorry.
31:49Who does she think she is?
31:50The neck.
31:51Well, my father should have told you,
31:53I don't work in isolation, I am these women,
31:55these women aren't me.
31:56Well, if you want to cut your friends in and shrink your end,
31:59that's your prerogative.
32:00But the plan remains the same.
32:05Does anyone have a light?
32:07No.
32:12I do.
32:30And what's your name?
32:33Alice.
32:35Alice.
32:40Maybe now's a good time to explain why you seer this table with us.
32:48There's a dying oil man in New York.
32:52Rich.
32:53And I don't mean moneyed, I mean richer than royalty.
32:57He lives out his days in an empty white marble mansion on a street called Fifth Avenue.
33:05There's a painting.
33:07And he will have it at any cost.
33:12You fine women will help me procure the work and you will be rewarded.
33:16It better be a special fucking bone then.
33:20Well, it hasn't been seen in three centuries.
33:23I'm talking about the most coveted work in New York high society.
33:28Martha and Mary Magdalene by Caravaggio.
33:30Is, is that all right with you?
33:37Until recently, no one knew where it was.
33:40But then came a rumor, which became a whisper, which became a name.
33:45An Englishman by the name of Grafton.
33:48I have it on good authority that he is the one in possession of the Caravaggio.
33:58Have you made contact with his friend yet?
34:01As a matter of fact, I have been sitting for Sir Frederick Layton.
34:04He's painting me.
34:05Very nice.
34:07I put in a word for you.
34:08He'd gladly enjoy your special skills at his soiree, where Grafton will be in attendance.
34:13Well, we luckily are those special fucking skills.
34:18Perhaps I can perform a demonstration for you.
34:37This is my peacemaker.
34:40I carry it for personal protection.
34:44This is a .45 Colt cartridge.
34:48I'm going to ask one of you to shoot me.
34:51What?
34:52What?
35:04I need you to shoot me in the heart.
35:10Kill me.
35:13You will do it on the count of three.
35:22I need you to shoot me in the heart.
35:26One, two, three.
35:37The bullet is now in the chamber.
36:06You're a mesmerist.
36:11I need you to shoot me in the chamber.
36:12People crave belonging.
36:14It's like I see holes in their heads.
36:17So I burrow into them.
36:21Once inside, I have the power.
36:45Oh, man.
36:54Do you intend to pay custom on that tobacco?
36:57Would you say?
36:59I said, do you intend to be a good citizen
37:01and pay what's owed on your ill-gotten goods?
37:08Who the fuck are you?
37:10The loyal servant of Her Majesty the Queen.
37:13A minute of your time.
37:16The body of a woman was found not two miles from here.
37:20A whore who drowned in the London docks just days ago.
37:24A rough man came to identify her.
37:27He wept.
37:29It's guilt, I assume.
37:31You can see his name here.
37:36My apologies.
37:39You're not literate, are you?
37:42Well, the name written here says Edward Goodson.
37:49And there are some that say Edward is a changed man.
37:53And I have witnesses who claim he was with her on the shore,
37:56quarrelling loudly the night she disappeared.
38:02My brother...
38:06is a good man.
38:08He's a publican and a father.
38:12No one in this city will believe you.
38:16He will hang for it, sugar.
38:20Unless I have your full cooperation.
38:23All I want you to do is watch Mary Carr.
38:26Where she goes, who she's speaking to,
38:29and report your observations to me.
38:34You see, a time will come when she is tried, sentenced,
38:36imprisoned in Holloway,
38:37and I will be the one to make sure
38:39it's until the end of her natural life.
38:47You fucking deluded.
38:51I'll be on my way then.
38:54Send my regards to your brother.
38:55And I'll be on my way.
39:13Mummy! Mummy! Mummy!
39:21Oh, my girls. Look at you. You've grown so much.
39:27Marianne.
39:36Come on. Come on. Let's go.
40:00Come on.
40:09I'm here now. I'm here now, my sweet, sweet baby.
40:15Come on. It's all right. Don't worry.
40:19It's all gonna be fine.
40:23I'm here.
40:24What use are you if you can't protect your own children?
40:26Marianne, I'll let you down. I'm sorry. Please. Marianne, please.
40:29The one thing that was different between you and Sugar was that you had a family.
40:32You should have protected her.
40:34Oh, Marianne, please. Please just listen to me.
40:36I'm leaving you and I'm taking them with me.
40:37Marianne, think about what you're doing, Marianne.
40:38You stay out with us.
40:39Please. Marianne, please. Please.
40:42Sarah.
40:42Please.
40:43No.
40:43Sarah.
40:44No, please.
40:45Sarah, get a few bags together. We're leaving for Dublin, all right? Good girl. Go on now.
40:48Help your sister, Thomas.
40:50You'll carry Rosie when we're ready.
40:51I'm not leaving.
40:52You're coming with me and your sisters and that's the end of it. Do you understand?
40:55I don't want to, though. I want to stay here and help Daddy. He needs us.
40:59Thomas, you're a good buddy.
41:01A big heart and a good head. I'm telling you, if you stay here, it's only a matter of time.
41:06You'll wind up dead on those cobbles. Or worse, you'll waste away like him or Sugar. I'm not letting that
41:11happen, Thomas.
41:14I'm not leaving, Mum.
41:19Stupid boy. You're a good son, all right?
41:26What do you think you're doing?
41:29You're hurting me.
41:35Your money things to be good, but I never took you for a wife to be here.
42:01There you go.
42:02I will not leave you alone.
42:04You're behind me yet and there's nothing left and there's nothing right?
42:05You're barking when you're finned down!
42:07Dammit!
42:32I'm lost.
42:34I'm not in love.
42:41I'm not in love.
42:44I'm not in love.
42:53Come on.
42:55Come on.
43:04Come on.
43:10Come on.
43:31Come on.
43:31Come on.
43:32Come on.
43:32Waste of fucking time.
43:38Come on.
44:01Come on.
44:03Come on.
44:08Come on.
44:16Come on.
44:19Come on.
44:21Come on.
44:26Come on.
44:35Come on.
44:52No God, no master.
45:16No God, no master.
45:38No master.
