00:09Are you nervous?
00:11Hmm?
00:12It must be a bit delicious being fought over.
00:15What are you talking about?
00:18Don't be coy.
00:20How are you going to respond to Inspector Boxer's proposal?
00:24If it was a proposal.
00:26I really have no idea, Fanny.
00:28I haven't thought of it.
00:31You have.
00:39Where are you going this interrogatory morning?
00:42Buying ribbons?
00:44That's what you told Mother.
00:46Where are you actually going?
00:47None of your business.
00:56He's drowning from within.
00:58You first.
00:59No, no, no, no.
01:01He needs to come on.
01:02Here's another way.
01:07Here's another way.
01:12Stand back.
01:13Stand back.
01:14All of you.
01:14Don't worry.
02:02Belle, it's not safe for you here.
02:05Is it cold?
02:08Yes.
02:10The devil's elbow.
02:24The duke tells me you swindled him into buying land he shouldn't have when he was drunk.
02:31No, I don't swindle.
02:34Especially not from dukes.
02:36I can't believe his lordship would be untruthful with you.
02:39You mustn't have been confused.
02:41You see, I sell to the best people in town, Sir Gideon Hawkes.
02:44Elizabeth Maxwell.
02:46Elizabeth Maxwell?
02:48Yes.
02:49All respectable, all above board.
02:52That £20,000 wasn't his to spend on Fagin and Son's land.
02:56It was the East India's money meant for something else that we have a pressing need on.
03:02I must insist you return this money to me immediately.
03:06No, no, no.
03:07A deal's a deal.
03:08And besides, that money's already snarled up.
03:10You're a commercial man.
03:11I respect that.
03:13But I need that cash.
03:16Or a head in a barrel, pickled, so my employers can balance the books.
03:22Now, that head can be mine.
03:25Very unlikely.
03:27It can be the duke's.
03:30That's much more complex.
03:31Or it can be yours.
03:35Simpler.
03:37Well, see, I don't like them choices.
03:41We don't need to be each other's throats.
03:45You see, I reckon we're cut from the same cheesecloth.
03:48Yes.
03:50I suspect we share an humble history.
03:53We both reached up from the gutter and touched the dirty hems of the stars.
03:58Well, yeah, well, yeah.
04:01So don't make me your enemy when I could be your friend.
04:05Now, you mentioned something that your employers have a pressing need of.
04:10Perhaps I could help with that.
04:12That's a gesture of goodwill between friends.
04:15What is it?
04:17A saltpeter nitrary.
04:19A nitrary?
04:21Well, what didn't you say?
04:22You know of one?
04:24Oh, I've got one.
04:25I've got one that's been finessed as we speak.
04:29If only the duke had asked.
04:31And they don't trust us, do they?
04:33You see, you understand me, but a tough would never think that Norbert Fagin of Clark and Earl Green could
04:40have his own dietary.
04:42They underestimate us because we're humble.
04:45They do.
04:46And at their own peril, eh, Uriah?
04:48May I call you Uriah?
04:51You may.
04:52How soon can you fill my ships with saltpeter?
04:54Oh, end of the month.
04:56I need it tomorrow.
05:00Well, if I put my best people on it, it could be done.
05:04But, you know, give it a pinch of time and the greater value of this thing, this nitri,
05:09I'd have to have 50% of the profits plus £15,000 cash for me disbursements and expenses.
05:17Impossible.
05:20All right, Luke.
05:21Well, nice the netter.
05:23Wait.
05:29Done.
05:31Tomorrow, then.
05:33Or I will have to take your head.
05:43What was all that about?
05:46Who's saltpeter?
05:48Well, the bloody hell's a nitri.
05:54We need more clothes and turpentine to do this, sister.
05:57We need more calomel.
06:04You are more viable after your surgery, please, Belle.
06:07You have to go.
06:07Leaving Jackie should know that.
06:09You always tell me not to be reckless with my life, but you are doing the same thing with yours.
06:13We did it in London during the outbreak of 32, and it was.
06:16Yes, but a quarantine is a...
06:18A quarantine?
06:20What, is he going to just shut them up in the elbow?
06:22Away from any kind of medical treatment?
06:24Not here, Dawkins.
06:26Come.
06:31We can't let cholera spread into the town.
06:33Nobody knows how cholera is spread or what causes it.
06:36You cannot justify a quarantine on this flimsy basis.
06:39Well, I don't feel I need to justify myself to an unqualified woman with a hobby.
06:44Now, the poor nest in filth, and the stinking effusions of their cesspits and slaughterhouses,
06:50rot the soil and poison the air with a stench.
06:54Miasma.
06:55You can't prove that a smell transmits cholera.
06:57It's just a theory.
06:58Miasmic theory is supported by the Lancets, Lady Belle.
07:01Oh, yes.
07:02Being poorly read, I was unaware of that.
07:03The Lancet presents miasma as a theory, not scientific proof.
07:07Nevertheless, the theory is supported by the Chief Medical Officer of London and the vast majority of practitioners.
07:13Well, why does it affect their gut, then?
07:15Because if cholera is spread by stinking air, it would attack the lungs, but it's not.
07:19They are vomiting.
07:20They are fouling themselves.
07:21It's more likely they've ingested something than breathed it.
07:24You can't quarantine on this basis, Smead.
07:27It's wrong.
07:28No, these people are poisonous.
07:32Their foulness spreads disease.
07:34These people, they're human beings.
07:38Now, I grew up in a place just like Devil's Elbow.
07:41There are children there.
07:42There are people who deserve our care, and we are condemning them like rats in a sodding bucket, based on
07:48some Toff's theory.
07:55We must make a decision.
07:56No.
07:57I must make a decision.
08:00Lady Belle, Dr. Dawkins, I've heard your position.
08:04But as head surgeon, I must act to protect the most lives I can.
08:08And the only reasonable option is to follow the medical consensus and ask the governor to quarantine the elbow.
08:14Christ.
08:15I'll go to the governor.
08:16Yes, so will I.
08:18Just tell him it's ridiculous.
08:21Yes.
08:26Salty Pete.
08:27He'll be a sailor, a cook.
08:32Anyone?
08:35I don't mind telling you, Fanny.
08:37I am now lumbered with a somewhat perspicuous conundrum.
08:40How am I going to find out what his nitrate is, if no one's ever heard of Saltpeter?
08:45Oh, my sainted twitches.
08:46I have.
08:47You have what?
08:48Heard of Saltpeter.
08:49There's been a bill tinkling in my mind, and I thought he was a pirate.
08:53But he's someone Uncle Dickie's talked about.
08:55Magnificent.
08:56Go and ask him.
08:56Well, it's just, Uncle Dickie's rather angry with me after helping to take all that money.
09:01I have no doubt you could charm the budgies from the trees, Fanny.
09:06Lifehool.
09:16I have seen cholera ravage London, Governor.
09:19And if we don't contain it in Devil's Elbow, it will spread into the town.
09:24Quarantining.
09:25It seems extreme.
09:26Yes, it is.
09:27We need to find the cause before we lock people up without medical treatment just for having it.
09:31Well, if the professor is right, delay will cost more lives.
09:33Yes, and it's not just me.
09:35It's the view of the medical journals and most senior men in the profession.
09:39Is he lying, Belle?
09:40No, but that doesn't mean they're all correct.
09:42But you are.
09:44And we should listen instead to your, well, what shall we call it?
09:48A guess or hubris.
09:50I am suggesting we don't turn our backs on our own people when they're sick because they happen to be
09:55poor.
09:55Yes, but you're rather biased there.
09:58This is immoral.
09:59You hardly want to talk of morality.
10:01Give the order, Edmund.
10:12Based on the medical consensus, we will quarantine the elbow, but just as precaution until we understand how the disease
10:20is caused and spread.
10:22Yes.
10:22Aphra, Devil's Elbow is to be quarantined.
10:26Send the order at once.
10:27Miladya.
10:29And Belle, you'll stay here, not risk your health in that hospital.
10:32I'll do nothing of the sort.
10:45What's happening in there?
10:47Oh, plague of the poor or some such.
10:52Come to strindle me again, you little vixen?
10:54No, to apologise for my recent antics.
10:58I've come to believe you're right about Mr. Fagin and his miscreants, Uncle.
11:02I should have listened to you.
11:04I'm very sorry.
11:06I feel rather silly.
11:08Well, we can all err.
11:11Perhaps I was rather terse in my own way.
11:16No matter.
11:17The money is no longer my concern.
11:19Mr. Heap will manage it from here.
11:20Well, these look ever so complicated.
11:23You must be very clever to read them.
11:25Well, yes, as it happens.
11:28Who's Saltpeter?
11:30Is he a pirate?
11:33No, my dear, bless you.
11:35Saltpeter is bat excrement, liquefied and mixed with ash.
11:40Oh.
11:41What for?
11:42To produce potassium nitrate, which, when mixed with sulphur and charcoal, goes...
11:49Oh.
11:51Fireworks?
11:51No, gunpowder.
11:53Which we use to blow our enemies to kingdom come.
11:56Unless, of course, they pay more.
11:57In which case, we sell it to them.
11:58It means we win all the wars, one way or another.
12:01Golly.
12:02Hmm.
12:03How wonderful.
12:04And how lucrative.
12:06At least, it would have been if I still had the £20,000 that I was meant to use to
12:12establish a Saltpeter nitrate.
12:13Oh, dear.
12:15I feel terribly responsible.
12:18Will we lose the war?
12:21My dear.
12:23There, there, there, there, there.
12:26Who among us hasn't lost a war or two?
12:30No, I must say I commend you, Fanny.
12:33Taking responsibility for your mistakes is a sign of real maturity.
12:37I do so love to learn from you, Uncle.
12:39I'll try to be better.
12:40Oh, dear.
13:24This isn't right.
13:26You should protect them, not condemn them.
13:28Governor's order says to lock him up, so we lock him up.
13:31Right, out of the quarantine zone, men.
13:34Please, my daughter.
13:35She needs to see a doctor.
13:36You coming?
13:37Please.
13:37No.
13:38You can't leave us here to die.
13:39We need your help.
13:40Someone needs to stay to ensure there isn't a riot.
13:42Save yourself.
13:55I need your help.
13:56You have 15 patients.
13:58No, your other skills.
14:02So you'll happily use crime when it suits you, then, my lady?
14:05I need to get past the quarantine line to find the cause of the outbreak.
14:08Well, I can get you in, but you can't go.
14:10It's far too dangerous.
14:11It's absurd.
14:11I'm not a hothouse flower.
14:12I cannot risk the extra pressure on your aorta if you catch this.
14:15It's not your concern.
14:16It bloody is my concern.
14:17You are my only concern.
14:19If anything were to happen to you, I...
14:20We need to start the intersections.
14:21They helped reduce the congestion of blood in the last outbreak.
14:24No, I'm going to find the sword.
14:25If you go near that place, I'll consider you infected and you won't be permitted to return
14:29him.
14:30I'm going to.
14:31Dawkins, no.
14:33I need you.
14:34All we are doing here, Sneed, is delaying the inevitable.
14:37Belle is right.
14:38We need to have doctors there so we can find the cause and save more lives.
14:42This is reckless and cowardly.
14:44And you call yourselves doctors, do you?
14:49And?
14:50Saltpeter isn't a pirate at all.
14:52It's an ingredient in gunpowder.
14:54I could have told you that, Fagin.
14:56But you never come to me, do you?
14:58Apparently, bats unpleasantries are glorious for making explosions.
15:02And all the countries want saltpeter because everyone is at war.
15:06Isn't it wonderful?
15:07And look, I happened upon Uncle Dickie's plans for a night tree to make it.
15:12Fanny.
15:14You are a criminal mind of pure and potent genius.
15:19Right, listen up.
15:21From now on, Fagin and son are in the saltpeter business.
15:25Now gather round.
15:26Time is of the essence if we're going to make this by tomorrow.
15:28Tomorrow?
15:29Have you been smoking hair, too?
15:31I only did that once and it was a very emotional time.
15:34Why, how long did it take?
15:36About three months.
15:37Three months?
15:37I ain't got three months.
15:38I'm about to have me bones knocked off and pickled.
15:41Oh, why don't we all play a game of pretend?
15:43Yeah, there's a lovely notion, Fanny, but we ain't got really time for that now.
15:46No, we'll just pretend to have a factory.
15:51Oh, that could work.
15:53If we all muck in together and start now.
15:57Flash it.
15:58You said you didn't trust me.
15:59You threatened to blow me up.
16:02Look, why don't we just spit on palms and shake on it like Hobie's.
16:09We'll need a vat.
16:10Go and get a vat.
16:11And you need to be nicer to me.
16:13I'm nice?
16:13What's not nice about me, you cabbage?
16:16Roddy?
16:17Last time I helped in a Fagin and Son land scam, I got no coin and trouble from the East
16:21India Company.
16:22Farton, we lost 20,000 pounds, but Uriah's got a very strong need for this knightery.
16:27So we can either form a potentially lucrative partnership with him, or I'll lose me head.
16:32I'll think on it.
16:34Either outcome benefits me.
16:39Oh, Roddy, that is chilly.
16:42Even for you.
16:44Well, I'll tell you what.
16:45When you find the time in your bloody pine pulling shed, you'll let me know.
16:48Till then, Flashy, piss off and get me that vat.
16:51Please?
16:53Please, piss off and get me that vat.
17:02You all right?
17:03Fine.
17:05You?
17:06Yeah, fine.
17:09Fine.
17:10I'm glad we're together doing this.
17:12You're walking into a plague.
17:14How sure are you that it's not spread by stinking air?
17:17Reasonably sure.
17:18Logic doesn't hold.
17:20As if we're wrong and we're not coming back from the devil's elbow.
17:23Then let's hope we're right.
17:32Four in the hospital.
17:35Did you really grow up in a place as difficult to step as other?
17:38Yeah.
17:40Worse.
17:41Sorry.
17:44Why?
17:45Don't be.
17:45It's not like it's your fault.
17:48I didn't know any different.
17:49I mean, it's just life, you know.
17:51It was hard.
17:53Toffs didn't make it any easier.
17:55Always shoving us down.
17:56Stopping us from making a crust.
17:58Kicking us off a street corner for begging.
18:01No one would give you an honest job, so we'd just nick what we needed.
18:06I'm beginning to see why flaunting the law feels more natural to you.
18:11Yeah, well, you're doing it now.
18:12Come on.
18:42I'm scared that the surgery I did to you is not going to hold.
18:47And Tim is close to perfecting a galvanic artery that can fix you if your location fails.
18:51But for that, we need...
18:52I don't know.
18:53And I'm sorry for involving Fanny in all this, but when it comes to you, I just, I don't, I
18:58don't think rationally.
19:05Same.
19:10Where do we go from here?
19:16They're going to be so scrappy with me when they know me noggins on the block and I'm offering them
19:19a share of the price.
19:20Well, I suspect Rottie's upset because you've taken advantage of her hospitality.
19:24Taken advantage?
19:24And I think Flashbeng wants a hug.
19:26A what?
19:26He wants to be included.
19:27He is.
19:29Appreciated.
19:29Right, so in the face of the East India Company coming for my head with a pickling barrel,
19:33I'm supposed to just stop everything and soothe the feelings of a pair of old knacker bags?
19:37When Belle's been unkind to me, which is quite a lot, she leaves me flowers or a book on my
19:42table.
19:43But I don't really want that.
19:44I just want her to say sorry and would I like to be her friend.
19:49Just be nice to them.
19:50Nice?
19:53I find all this very irregular.
19:56I'll give it a go.
19:58My dear Smyke, when we arrive at my lodgings, would you please be so kind as to keep your oculus
20:02peeled for a sign of Mr. Heap?
20:04Thanks ever so.
20:05Much obliged.
20:06How's that?
20:06I think that's lovely, Mr. Pagan.
20:09Gives me the shivers.
20:32If they're all dying here, there must be a common factor.
20:44Yes, so, um, if they're not dying from breathing in the stench, then what is it?
20:49Food?
20:50Drink?
20:53The arsenic poisoning.
20:55There were articles of it being in the wallpaper.
20:57I can assure you these people do not have wallpaper.
21:01They are lucky to have walls.
21:11Lady Belle.
21:13Dr. Dawkins.
21:15Inspector, what are you doing here?
21:17People need to know the law will protect them.
21:19Quarantine or not.
21:20You and I clearly have a different experience with the law.
21:22Yes, I suspect we have.
21:25I've been recording the deaths here to make sure everyone has accounted for.
21:30There are almost no deaths on the butcher's side of the street, but there are very many on the side
21:33of the Wailer's pub.
21:35See, if cholera was in the air, that disparity would be impossible.
21:39We need to find the reason.
21:40I'll take the Wailer's side.
21:43Are they company Lady Belle on the butcher's?
21:45Lady Belle doesn't need a company.
21:48They'll split it up.
21:51Dr. Dawkins.
21:56I misjudged you.
21:59I apologize.
22:02Will you shake my hand?
22:18Be careful, Jack.
22:22You too.
22:24I'm sorry.
22:26I'm sorry.
22:30I'm sorry.
22:32I'm sorry.
22:34I'm sorry.
22:37Are you all right, darling?
22:38Yes, fine.
22:40If something at breakfast didn't agree with me.
22:43Oh, dear.
22:44Not the kippers.
22:45I thought they tasted a bit hippy.
22:48Mr. Heap of the East India Company.
22:52Forgive me, excellencies, for the temerity to approach my betters.
22:57Well, if you speak plainly, we're in the middle of something.
23:00Of course.
23:02Did I hear a port quarantine had been ordered, Governor?
23:06Yes.
23:06My husband closed the port.
23:08Oh, did I?
23:09Yes, darling.
23:10Remember?
23:11Your opinion was that as there's a communicable disease in the streets next to the docks,
23:16well, it would be unconscionable to allow anyone else to be exposed.
23:19Yes, quite right.
23:21Yes, port's closed, Heap.
23:22But surely not for the East India Company.
23:25I have three ships arriving on the tide, and if I can't dock them, I can't process gunpowder for the
23:30realm,
23:31and then we give the enemy an advantage.
23:36Yes, well, given those circumstances...
23:39Nothing changes.
23:41Because you were very firm, no exceptions could be made.
23:44Yes.
23:45Yes, firm.
23:47You'll just have to wait like everyone else here.
23:56Well, I'll talk about the world before you do a city.
24:01Hey, hey, what's going on?
24:02Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
24:08They all leap from the same stores, drink the same beer, breathe the same air.
24:13Yet half the street's dead while the other half lives.
24:15Why?
24:18Are you all right?
24:21Yes.
24:23Just Jack.
24:26You've called him Jack twice now.
24:30How are I?
24:33A habit, I suppose.
24:36Then I have my answer.
24:41You must follow your heart.
24:45It's not so simple.
24:48Doesn't seem like it sometimes.
24:51Death has shown me that love is simple.
24:54It defeats all our attempts to rationalize or master it.
25:00That's why you're still in mourning for her.
25:02Seven years old.
25:07I'm still in love with the ghost.
25:11I'm in love with Jack.
25:20She would have been proud of you.
25:26She would have liked you.
25:44If there was anyone else in my life I could have loved but her.
26:00If there was anyone else in my life I could have loved but her.
26:03All right hurry along my sweetlings.
26:06Riches saw the pickling battle await.
26:11Now that is what I call craftsmanship.
26:16I've also bought these lovely dust coats for the girls to greet Mr. Heap officially.
26:22Now you know what that's doing.
26:24It is very nearly bringing a tear to me eye.
26:27And I thought it might be rather jolly to have these pretend night tree documents to get into the spirit
26:32of it.
26:32I took my father's government seal to make them look special.
26:35Is that fun or not fun?
26:37This is a lot of fun.
26:39We might just make this scam work.
26:41If we can stop these two from killing each other.
26:44Why don't you stop telling me what to do?
26:46Why don't you stop calling me a f-
26:47You can do it Mr. Fagan.
26:48Remember with kindness.
26:50Yeah, right.
26:51Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!
26:53We haven't got time for all this discord.
26:55Just be bloody harmonious, you hear me?
26:58Harmonious!
26:58Not quite like that.
27:00When Belle and I were small and fighting, our nanny would make us sing the forgiveness song.
27:05Shall I teach it to you?
27:07No!
27:08Dog's teeth. Right, listen. Flashy.
27:12What the devil are you up to now, Fagan?
27:22Understood. Agreed. Come on.
27:26Yes.
27:27Well done, Mr. Fagan.
27:28That was a lot coarser than the forgiveness song.
27:31With a bit more bribery, but it was similar in substance.
27:35Oi, Boxer.
27:37You said they were all dead on the pub side.
27:39Yes.
27:40Yeah, well, they're not dead in the pub.
27:42I thought that was evident.
27:45The one common thing in there is beer.
27:47Again, evident?
27:49They don't drink water.
27:50What, not at all?
27:51No, they don't even serve it out of principle.
27:53That lot shut themselves in there as soon as the bodies started dropping.
27:55They don't let anyone back in if they leave.
27:57That's why that...
27:59fellow's so angry.
28:00So, if they are the one dwelling on this side of the street where everyone is still alive and they
28:04only drink beer...
28:05the cholera must be in the water.
28:09Exactly.
28:09The next question is why the difference between the two sides?
28:12Different supplies.
28:13I need to find out where people are getting their water from.
28:15Yes, I'll accompany Dr. Dawkins this time.
28:17Keep you out of trouble.
28:20Yeah, if you like.
28:47What?
28:49What?
28:50Sansa!
28:51Higher.
28:53To the left.
28:55To the left.
28:55To the right.
28:56Right, good work.
28:56And higher.
28:57Good work, ladies.
28:58And Flashy, when Uriah turns up tomorrow, this'll be glorious.
29:02Mr Fagin, you said to tell you when Mr Hinkley's arriving?
29:06Yeah, that's right.
29:06It's my guy did, yes.
29:07Well, he's arriving.
29:10Bloody hell, you're clod.
29:11Next time, lead out with that.
29:15Flashy, grab the rest of that dirt out, put some gunpowder on top of it.
29:18I thought it was meant to be fake.
29:20It is, it is.
29:21We've got to show him something.
29:22Can't we use some of these whiz-bends?
29:24Yeah, but these are my favourites.
29:26I don't doubt it.
29:27You see?
29:27I knew I could rely on you now.
29:29Come on, go, go, go, go.
29:30Everyone, look lively.
29:32TNT.
29:34Watch me explode.
29:40TNT.
29:49Watch me explode.
29:51You're as good as your word.
29:53Uriah!
29:57You're early.
29:59I mean, we're very nearly ready.
30:01Allow me to test your product.
30:03Of course, yes.
30:04Now, obviously, we are in the saltpeter business, but my colleagues and I always keep a sample
30:09of gunpowder, you know, for the client to test the potency.
30:19Where did you get your sulphur?
30:23Ah, well, you know, here and there.
30:27Round the corner.
30:29Look, I can't be giving away my trade secrets, can I, before we've reached an agreement?
30:40It's gritty.
30:43Got a good pungent taste.
30:47Pungent is our stock in trade.
30:49Of course, I'll need to see it boom.
30:52Goes without saying.
30:53Happy to obliged.
30:54It's just we did say we'd be ready tomorrow, you know, and today's the day.
30:58Looks like you're ready.
30:59No, no, no, no, no.
31:00I wouldn't be doing me artisanship.
31:03Justice, if I was to present you with a less-than-cracking banger.
31:07Now, tomorrow we can make a noise so loud it'll loosen your bowels.
31:12In the nicest possible way.
31:14Tonight all the deal's off.
31:15Good tonight, then, yes.
31:16Right.
31:26Can you do it, Flashy?
31:30Absolutely bloody lootly.
31:32I think.
31:36They get their water from the pump.
31:39Rainwater tank.
31:40Same as all the others on this side.
31:42Ah.
31:46Mary, Molly's here.
31:49Hello there.
31:50Where did you come from?
31:53Hello.
31:57I'm Belle.
31:59I'm Elizabeth.
32:00Mary won't wake up.
32:06You poor darling.
32:09Where are your mummy and daddy?
32:11Inside.
32:12They won't wake up neither.
32:14They're not a long mark.
32:18You're better.
32:30I'm gonna be tired.
32:31Thanks, thanks.
32:32I'm with you.
32:32You're welcome.
32:43I'm so grateful.
32:51There's no tank in there.
32:55They must have used the pump water too.
32:58Do you drink the water from the pump, Elsbeth?
33:01No, Mary does, but it's better.
33:04So Mummy gets me water from Mr Cobb across the street.
33:12I'm going to take you someplace safe, Elsbeth.
33:15Will you come with me?
33:16What about Mummy, Daddy and Mary?
33:20We'll come back for them, all right?
33:22We'll just let them sleep for a while.
33:27Come on.
33:30One more question, Mr Cobb.
33:32The Charnlers get their water from you.
33:34Do you let anyone else use your tank?
33:36It'll help with our inquiry.
33:38No, I just see him and the professor.
33:40The professor?
33:43He doesn't live here?
33:44No, he visits his old brother out in the pastures on yonder.
33:48Why does he come to you?
33:50Dunno.
33:51Elbows on the way, I suppose.
33:53He buys him his vittles from my shop and I give him some of me water.
33:58His brother's not well and mine's got a sweeter taste.
34:03When does he come here?
34:05Strange hours.
34:06Late at night.
34:10Tell me exactly where his brother lives.
34:13Jack, wait!
34:14No time, they're drinking bloody poison.
34:17Where are you going?
34:20Jack, what's wrong?
34:21Talk to me, tell me what you're doing.
34:23The pump water must come from the gallows square pipes in the tunnel.
34:26And they're flooded recently.
34:27Yes, I heard.
34:28Well, I felt it.
34:29I was here.
34:30It stank.
34:31There's sewage in it.
34:34What if they got into the pump water?
34:36Oh, there must be in the sewage.
34:38As I suspect it passes through the bowels into waste water and it gets transmitted by infection.
34:44Oh, my God, my father turned that water on.
34:47Bloody hell, Belle.
34:53Tell your father to turn off the water at the gallows square pipe.
34:56And to lift this bloody quarantine so that anyone left alive can get to hospital.
35:00Come on, Elizabeth, we need to run.
35:29Come on, Elizabeth.
35:40Are you Ernest McGregor?
35:44Yes.
35:51Who are you?
35:53The law.
35:56The law.
36:01Are you all right, sir?
36:05Yes, I'm all right.
36:07Forgive me, but you don't look all right.
36:08You seem ill.
36:10Did you drink from the pump in the elbow?
36:13No.
36:13No, it's...
36:15I have cancer.
36:18My brother tells me he'll be ready to operate soon.
36:23Professor McGregor.
36:26There's your cause of death, sir.
36:28No, I take the pains to stitch if it's a simple nighting in the dark.
36:30Another body with a blue stitching, Inspector.
36:33The killer is surgically trained and obsessive.
36:37I wonder, could it be a botched operation?
36:40A surgeon.
36:41Those stitches are appalling.
36:43That doesn't rule out a surgeon conclusively, does it?
36:47He's bloody practicing.
37:07I hate to say this, Fleshy, but I am relying on you completely.
37:16No, no, no, Juan.
37:17I don't think we need to do that.
37:19No, no, no.
37:20Of course.
37:23I thought maybe you'd need a...
37:24No, I didn't.
37:26Right.
37:26Yeah.
37:28I brought my pickling barrel.
37:30In case.
37:31Yeah.
37:32Well, I think we will meet with your approbation, Mr. Heap.
37:36If I may present Fagin and Sons Chief Chemist, Dr. Flashford Bang.
37:42A unique last name.
37:43I followed my destiny.
37:46Before we begin, Mr. Heap.
37:48Oh, no, sweetly.
37:49I'll sign when Mr. Fagin proves the saltpetal works.
37:54Yes.
37:56Well, Dr. Flashford, bring on the bang.
38:04Here.
38:05Thanks.
38:07Thanks.
38:28Oh.
38:29Yes.
39:18Where do I sign?
39:34Take these blood basins outside, would you?
39:47Rest now and go forth from this world into the arms of thy loving father.
39:59We found the cause for cholera.
40:01What?
40:02Where?
40:03It's in the water, the sewers.
40:07Surely not.
40:08Well, you will have your proof in a couple of hours if I'm not dead.
40:10But if you're right, quarantine was utterly pointless.
40:16Yes.
40:18But all the literature said, Jack, I thought all for the best.
40:31I know.
40:32I know.
40:34Not your patients.
40:35They need you.
40:52Clara?
40:54Let's give her food and clean clothing.
40:56She's not infectious.
40:57Stay with Clara for a moment.
40:59She's very kind.
41:01Belle, darling, are you all right?
41:04Good lord.
41:06Who's that young lady?
41:11Belle, what is this?
41:13Pump handle from Devil's Elbow.
41:14What?
41:14How did you even get in there?
41:16Mother, listen to me.
41:17Please.
41:18Cholera is not in the air.
41:20It is in the water, spreading because the sewers don't work.
41:22How do you know?
41:23We've seen this plague in tooth and claw, and it is carried from the Gallows Square pipes
41:28to the pump in Devil's Elbow.
41:30People in there are dying.
41:33I brought a little girl with me.
41:35She became an orphan in a day.
41:40They need doctors and nurses.
41:43They need you and father to protect them.
41:49Tell father to lift the quarantine.
41:52No.
41:53Stay back.
41:54Mother, you're not listening.
41:55I'm not infected.
41:56No.
41:57I fear for you, not for me.
42:01Mother.
42:02Yes?
42:04Your lips.
42:06They're blue.
42:09I don't feel...
42:12I don't feel well.
42:23You're not married.
42:51Not a half, even if you would...
