00:00There is a growth inside my belly.
00:03This is Prince Albert Victor, second in line to the British throne.
00:07I have land, sugar plantation in Jamaica.
00:09If you lead me to victory, it's yours.
00:11I can't tell His Royal Highness that I will continue to train, but not here.
00:16He can come to Wapping.
00:17We elephants are back.
00:19We need a Bob Gerard.
00:22Bob Gerard.
00:27Ladies, this is Sophie Lyons.
00:30There's a dying oil man in New York.
00:32There's a painting.
00:33And he will have it at any cost.
00:35You fine women will help me procure the work, and you will be rewarded.
00:38As a matter of fact, I have been sitting for Sir Frederick Leighton.
00:42He's painting me.
00:43He'd gladly enjoy your special skills at his soiree.
00:46You're a mesmerist.
00:48What use are you if you can't protect your own children?
00:51Your money things to be good if I never took you for a wife, Peter.
00:54A whore who drowned in the London docks just days ago.
00:57A rough man came to identify him.
00:59Edward Goodson.
01:02He will hang.
01:03Unless I have your full cooperation.
01:23You've seen your father?
01:25No.
01:26Did he come home last night?
01:31There's still time to add to this.
01:33Sure we don't want to fight?
01:35Yeah, I'll give it up on you.
01:36We'll get a crowd in.
01:37There's some excitement back in people's lives.
01:40In the ring, you and my dad were heroes.
01:42He needs this.
01:44I told you.
01:46Those days are done.
01:48For me and your father.
01:51Don't worry.
01:53I'll bring him on.
02:13What the fuck do you want?
02:22You can talk to me.
02:25I hear the fights are coming back.
02:28I need a place to train somebody.
02:32And I hear you were fighting on the barges.
02:33And I need a house fighter.
02:36I'll pay you.
02:36No, make it handle that.
02:38Look, you should have been world champion.
02:41Everyone knows that.
02:43The whole of Wapping would turn out to see you fight again.
02:47Don't you miss it?
02:51No, I don't.
02:58Tell you what, I'll give you 30.
03:00No, 40% of the night's takings.
03:02I'm sorry.
03:04I can't.
03:07Not here.
03:08I'm not fighting again.
03:11So why would I let you train here?
03:16Well, I can't pay you.
03:18I'm chaining my rich money.
03:21Ten shillings for half a day.
03:26Fifteen.
03:29All right.
03:32And you finish fixing up the ring?
03:38Maybe you'll get a taste for it again.
04:04Please welcome.
04:06It's a fire.
04:08It's a fire.
04:10It's a fire.
04:10It's a fire.
05:50What are you doing here?
05:52Did you get my letter?
05:54I thought I'd bring our latest shipment down myself.
05:56You can't be seen here.
05:58Mary's visited.
06:00She can't afford any trouble and you're supposed to be a dead man.
06:03I wanted to talk to you.
06:05No.
06:06I need to get you out of here now.
06:14Have you seen Hezekiah lately?
06:16Don't go to Wopin.
06:18It's too dangerous.
06:25I'll be careful.
06:40It's gotten rid of the last of it.
06:42You're going to be fine.
06:46You should have come to me sooner.
06:47I'm grateful.
06:50Not everyone can afford this.
06:51Yes.
06:52But you can.
06:54So promise me you're going to stay away from that factory now.
06:57When are you coming back to Wopin?
07:00You won't get another chance like this one.
07:07You don't have to do this.
07:09I can't abandon those women.
07:13You of all people should understand that.
07:22Have you seen your mother?
07:25I'm going to.
07:30Don't put it off.
08:02There's our target.
08:04Lord Grafton, Baron of Lewis.
08:06Married?
08:07Recently widowed.
08:08They said the painting was in his late wife's family.
08:12Here they come.
08:13Let the game begin.
08:15Ah, maman, c'est du clair.
08:17Miss Crane, you made it at last.
08:20And this must be the mesmerist from New York.
08:24Miss Isabel Bridges, this is Sir Frederick Layton, artist extraordinaire.
08:29You're very welcome.
08:31Lord Grafton, Mr. John Budgen, may I introduce to you my latest model,
08:37mysterious Miss Polly Crane.
08:39And this is Miss Isabel Bridges, who will be entertaining us later.
08:43Did I hear that you're a mesmerist?
08:44Yes, you did.
08:45Oh, I did all so interesting.
08:48The alchemy of art and science.
08:50I look forward to seeing you in action.
08:52And you, Lord Grafton?
08:55I might need more persuading.
09:01Good evening.
09:02I have spent many years diving into the mystical world of mesmerism.
09:10Perception, reality, consciousness.
09:14These are all illusions to be manipulated and played with,
09:19as I shall demonstrate tonight.
09:23I believe Mr. John Budgen to be enthralled by my art,
09:27which makes him the perfect volunteer.
09:30Please, Mr. Budgen.
09:35Although we met briefly before,
09:37you have no idea what's about to happen tonight, do you?
09:40I do not.
09:41In a moment,
09:43your eyes will feel heavy and your body sluggish.
09:49You are beginning to feel tired.
09:53Very, very tired.
09:58And sleep.
10:02When I wake you, you will feel rejuvenated,
10:04except for the fact that you won't remember your name.
10:10And wake.
10:14What's your name?
10:15It's Mr. Budgen.
10:20In a moment,
10:21you will believe that you are not able to move.
10:24You will stand up and try to take a step forward,
10:28but you won't be able to move your feet at all.
10:31And wake.
10:35Could you come over here, please?
10:38Of course.
10:46You will now believe that the flame won't harm.
10:51Lower your hand.
10:57Oh.
11:00Oh.
11:01Oh.
11:02Oh.
11:02When I let go of his arm,
11:05he'll wake up and he won't remember anything at all.
11:11What just happened?
11:14Oh.
11:15Oh.
11:16Oh.
11:17Oh.
11:18Oh.
11:19Oh.
11:20Oh.
11:22Oh.
11:25Oh.
11:29Oh.
11:34Let's go.
12:05We're closed.
12:11Yo, yo.
12:16You good?
12:25What are you doing here?
12:36You should not be here.
12:38I didn't hear from you for a while.
12:40I was worried.
12:41I'm sorry.
12:45Are you hungry?
12:52How does revenge feel?
12:56But you know?
13:00Yes.
13:02Some loads travel to Liverpool.
13:05I hear second hand about your exploits.
13:09My revenge exiled me from a life that I now realise that I loved.
13:14The people that I loved.
13:16And the woman that I might grow to.
13:19Uh-uh.
13:23It's always full of surprise, huh?
13:26It's perfect.
13:28Come.
13:29Uh-uh.
13:31Yo, come on.
13:37You have to tell me.
13:39All I'll say is that she is a fellow lover of literature.
13:44And a friend of Mary's.
13:48Mary's.
13:48Mary's.
13:48ье-
13:59I take it, you haven't forgiven Mary yet.
14:08You might not want to hear this, but as I get older, I see that life is short and the
14:14chances for love are few.
14:19Please, can we just eat and enjoy this time together?
14:25I'll be leaving soon.
14:58Hey, you start running here, my friend.
15:03Well, it's a good spot.
15:05I am trim here and teach me everything, you know.
15:08Keep me on my toes.
15:10What do you think you make of my progress?
15:14I'd say you're for work on your stamina.
15:22It's time to get your back in the ring.
15:26It's about bloody time.
15:36It's time to get your back in the ring.
15:41It's time to get your back in the ring.
15:50It's time to get your back in the ring.
15:58Okay.
16:05Goodson, this is Eddie.
16:09Goodson.
16:10You're not one of the famous fighting Goodsons, are you?
16:12I suppose so.
16:14It is an honor to meet you, and to train here.
16:17Is it always this quiet?
16:19Not for long. Thomas has got great plans.
16:23I don't doubt it.
16:25Ready?
16:25Yes.
16:26All right, come.
16:27Nice to meet you.
16:46Come on, get up.
16:48We don't have time for this.
16:54When you fight, you have to be in the present.
16:57You have to see what's coming.
17:03Good.
17:04It's your emotions cloud your judgment.
17:07Boxing.
17:07One thing that matters is the fight that's happening right now.
17:11Boxing is skill.
17:12Is discipline.
17:13Focus.
17:14Anything.
17:17All right.
17:18All right.
17:19So it's just footwork, right?
17:22Stay grounded.
17:25Victoria.
17:26What are you doing here?
17:28I thought it would be fun to take tea in the famous blue coat boy.
17:33Carry on.
17:46Come on then, Goodson.
17:48Show me what you're made of.
17:51All right.
17:56You know I've picked up a thing or two?
17:58I bet you have.
17:59What do you mind?
18:01Give him a hand, Harold.
18:17Good.
18:17Keep your head up.
18:21There you go.
18:22There you go.
18:27It's good to see you looking like yourself again.
18:29And back in the ring.
18:32What do you mean?
18:33I forgot you could smile.
18:41What will you do, Hezekiah?
18:44With the land, should you win it?
18:49Live on it.
18:51Grow my roots down.
18:54Feel the sun on my skin.
18:59Be at home.
19:02Now my people work that land for centuries.
19:07The whole, even a small portion of it.
19:10It change everything.
19:13It's very different.
19:14Living amongst your own people.
19:16Where everyone looks like you.
19:18Yes.
19:24Were you born here?
19:26No.
19:27In Lagos.
19:29I was so connected to home.
19:32And now I don't know where home is.
19:59Mr. Moscow.
20:01Same time tomorrow.
20:02Good.
20:06I'll be right in.
20:08I don't want to speak out a turn.
20:10But I have a feeling life will show both of us where you belong very soon.
20:40I rather like this thundercloud expression.
20:45What did you think of my friend, Miss Isabel Bridges from New York?
20:49Well, she's certainly got everyone talking.
20:54Everyone was very impressed.
20:57Including Grafton.
20:59Poor man.
21:01I hear he's still grieving.
21:04Yes.
21:05Don't feel too sorry for him.
21:08Oh, really?
21:09Married his wife for her money and art collection and made her thoroughly miserable.
21:16Didn't take him long to go through her father's fortune either.
21:19If he's so broke, why doesn't he just sell the art?
21:23Pride.
21:24It's the paintings that give his family the prestige he craves.
21:30Did they have children?
21:32One.
21:33A son, Nicholas Grafton.
21:37He too is being prepared to marry for money.
21:41Quite the family.
21:47I've heard some rumors about the collection.
21:51The mysterious Caravaggio.
21:54Martha and Mary Magdalene.
21:56Have you seen it?
21:57Years ago.
21:58Never forgotten it.
22:00And now he keeps it locked away for safekeeping.
22:04That painting needs to be shared with the world.
22:06I've tried to convince him.
22:10I might have a rather bold idea that could help.
22:34I've tried to understand.
22:36I love you.
22:40Would you?
22:47Please.
22:51How was the journey, darling?
22:53Oh, very good. Thank you.
22:54Good.
22:57I heard you have a famous art collection.
23:00Yes, that's correct.
23:03Well, then why not show it off?
23:06Yes. Why not?
23:26To your very good health.
23:27And yours.
23:39Layton tells me you also read tarot cards.
23:42Yes.
23:43Why do you need them?
23:44If you can read people as you claim.
23:47I can read people, but tarot offers me a window into the future.
23:53However, the subject needs to be open.
23:58So are you, little Grafton?
24:01How does it work?
24:09Shuffle the cards and in your head think of the question you want answered.
24:27Let's see what they advise.
24:28Thanks.
24:52Putt.
24:57Punch.
24:59Can we tell them?
25:06Would you?
25:08Starting to fight to back up with the blue gun.
25:12Oh no.
25:14I want to get involved in your goods and chaos.
25:16I want you to death in there.
25:19But in the room, you were something else.
25:22You were brilliant.
25:24You made people laugh.
25:26Throwing up their shit week.
25:28I was there, I saw it.
25:34Doing this for sugar.
25:36With Hezekiah.
25:37Don't they'll just swing that.
25:39It'll be different this time.
25:40It's a new good scenario.
25:41I'm introducing gloves.
25:45Look, Saturday night, what did you say?
25:59Alright then.
26:02You better know what you're doing.
26:16You seen Tretel?
26:19No.
26:20Why?
26:20He's gone missing.
26:22It's been a few days.
26:24I'll keep an eye out for you.
26:27You been drinking again?
26:29No.
26:30So why do you want to see me?
26:35What have you been up to?
26:37Not much.
26:39Hanging around the art world.
26:41Doing a bit of modelling.
26:42Not as fun as it sounds.
26:44You're posing for dirty pictures.
26:47The artist is Frederick Layton.
26:55Are you stealing art?
26:58No.
27:01It's for fun.
27:02And legacy.
27:05Why are you so interested?
27:07No reason.
27:13You know, someone crossed my path the other day.
27:18A certain Mr. Lau.
27:23Are you sure?
27:25He was crossing the square.
27:27Dressed differently, but...
27:30I know it wasn't.
27:31Well...
27:34You better watch your brain.
27:37I'll deal with it.
27:57Mary.
27:58It's all done.
27:59We're in play.
28:00Give stuff and rely on someone.
28:08Hey! Where's Lau?
28:15I stuck my neck out for him. He broke his word.
28:21He knows Delilah.
28:23Well, should they saw him?
28:24Do you know what this could mean for me?
28:26I got a big job on. The biggest steal of my life.
28:31Myrtle's on my case. I could home.
28:35The only people that know are you, me and Sugar.
28:40And you can't trust that none of us will talk.
28:47Tell him he needs to fuck off back to Liverpool.
28:54Yes, you're good.
28:56You're safe with me.
29:09You all right, Mary?
29:10I'm fine. I wouldn't have been.
29:11Feels terrible.
29:16She's here.
29:21Good trip.
29:25It was illuminating.
29:27Did you see the painting?
29:29Could we have a quiet word?
29:32It's all clear?
29:33Anything you want to say to me, you can say in front of everyone.
29:38Well...
29:39This job might be trickier than I thought.
29:41Oh.
29:43Really?
29:44How...
29:44How come?
29:46Did you know he kept it locked away?
29:51Oh, yeah.
29:52I may have had an inkling.
30:05I may have a bit of a plan, but first we'll need to renegotiate our terms.
30:24I'm glad to see you've made the right choice, Mr. Goodson.
30:33What have you got?
30:36Mary's moving into the art world.
30:39She's modelling for Frederick Leighton.
30:42The president?
30:43Of the Royal Academy?
30:46So that's her next target?
30:49Don't know.
30:50Then what's her plan?
30:52I don't know.
30:57Tell me.
30:59Where's that brother of yours?
31:03I hope my men find him before some other unfortunate woman is fished out of the river.
31:13I'm going to give you one last chance.
31:20If you care about your brother, you will tell me precisely what Mary Cart is up to.
31:35What's all loud and whopping?
31:40That's impossible.
31:41I swear with you.
31:43Mm-hmm.
31:45On his way to the Green Dolphin.
32:04Meet our American heiress, Miss Lucinda Drake, imagined daughter of the actual Silas Drake, wealthy shipping magnate whose details are
32:12very clear.
32:13He can access.
32:14Don't you think we should introduce this art-loving debutante to young Nicholas Grafton?
32:22She's especially passionate about the Italian Baroque.
32:26Yes.
32:27Forcing Grafton to entertain, showing off his magnificent art collection to reel her in.
32:32And that is how we get our painting.
32:40So, are you up to this Alice?
32:42Of course she is.
32:43No, no, no.
32:46No, no.
32:48No, no.
32:49No, no, no.
32:50No, no.
32:53No, no.
32:57A couple more for you, sugar.
33:00Come on, let's get moving.
33:02Two hours until we hope...
33:2210 minutes to show time!
33:49I asked everyone and no one stepped up.
33:54So what am I supposed to do, do you want to fight in my place?
33:59These people came in for a fight, and I won't let them down, let's give them a show.
34:10Welcome back to the world famous fight night, and none other than the legendary Blue Coat
