Detective Willows.

Mrs. Potts.

I've been building a case

against my uncle
for a few years now.

He's all yours.

Dylan Cooper, we've got

a warrant for your arrest.

IVY:
She got lost on the way home.

Was found by an officer,
wandering the streets.

I am all Sophia has, and it is
down to me to keep her safe.

Perhaps some time apart
will do us both good.

How have you been?

Very well, thank you... and you?

Busy.

Yes, I can see that.

It's good to see you, Eliza.

I'm here because I wanted
to let you know

that I'm going away on holiday.

An actual holiday or...

What does that mean?

You've said before
you were going on holiday,

but in fact were on a case.

I'm going to Paris
to visit Moses and his family.

His wife had a little boy.

[breathes deeply]

Well, that is welcome news.

Please give him my best.

Contrary to what you believe,
Alexander, I don't lie to you.

Do you have any idea
how hard it was for me

to come and see you today?

I wanted to come and see you,
but...

[knock at door]

Come.
[door opens]

I need your sign-off,

sir.

Door!

Just...

Blake.

[Isabel speaking indistinctly]

Thank you, Miss Summers,

Sergeant Clarke,
you got my message?

[Clarke speaking indistinctly]

BLAKE:
Well, anything you can do.

[Clarke speaking indistinctly]

I appreciate that.

I'll wait to hear.
[Clarke speaking indistinctly]

BLAKE:
Thank you... goodbye.

That's the desk sergeant
at Bow Street.

I've been trying to find some
extra men for the night shift.

Half have gone to the rookeries,

riots are breaking out
everywhere.

The other half have gone down
with stomach flu.

[exhales]

You were saying you wanted
to come and see me.

But...

[footsteps approaching]

I have thought of you many
times over this last week.

[knock at door]
[loudly]: I'm in a meeting.

[sighs]

Sorry, sir, the superintendent's
waiting for you.

I didn't realize the time.

You're busy, and I should pack.

I leave first thing

Sorry, Miss Scarlet...

Miss Scarlet.

I'll be with you shortly,

ISABEL: Hope you
feel better soon, Maggie.

[Willows exhales]

Ah, I think she's got
that stomach bug,

poor thing. Oh, it's a nasty
one, from all accounts.

Half the men have gone home
sick with it.

Anyway, I just came to see

if you wanted to go
for a cuppa on your break.

I'd love to, but Inspector Blake
said I've got to ring

round the other precincts,
see if they can spare any men.

Not having much luck, though.

Most of them
aren't even answering.

It'll be the riots
in the rookeries.

And what with the sickness,
we're badly undermanned.

We might even have a problem

transferring the big fella
to Newgate later.

Is Dylan Cooper
really in our cells?

Well, he's under lock and key.

And I'm here to protect you.

[chuckles]:
My hero.

I may have
to cover the night shift,

so it might be best that we dine
tomorrow night instead.

I'm stuck here, too.

Maggie was the fifth girl
to go home early.

Tomorrow night, then?

I'll take us somewhere nice
to make up for it.

Can we go back to Baron's?

It was lovely there.

I'll book it in the morning.

You're too good to me, Georgie.

I don't deserve you.

No, you probably don't.

[both chuckle]

BLAKE:
Detective Willows.

I need your help
transferring Cooper to Newgate.

So, it's still going ahead, sir?

The prison governor will be
sending an armed escort

at 8:00 this evening.

Cooper won't be pleased.

He's been telling everyone
the governor of Newgate

won't dare take him...
thinks he'll be too scared

of the repercussions.

Well, in that case,

I shall enjoy telling
Mr. Cooper personally

that he's very much mistaken.

If you don't
stop staring at me, boy,

I'm gonna rip your eyeballs
out of their sockets.

[footsteps approaching]

I want to move cells, Blake.

This fella ain't right
in the head.

Inspector Blake.

And you will indeed
be moving cells.

To Newgate Prison.

[chuckling]:
You what?

The governor's looking forward

to welcoming you
to your new home.

You leave at 8:00.

Best say your goodbyes.

Nah.

I ain't going anywhere.

I beg to differ.

I've heard about those riots.

Terrible business.

My guess is,
they'll reach Newgate soon.

Why do you say that?

Mm...

Just making conversation.

[rain falling]

Detective Willows?

Murray, isn't it?
You here for the night shift?

Yes, sir.
Good.

Where are the others? That's
what I wanted to tell you, sir.

[people talking in background]

Only two officers? Where's
the rest of the night shift?

The desk sergeant
said they're off sick.

That stomach bug's
spreading like wildfire.

Where's the desk sergeant?
He's got it, too.

He's just gone home.

[people talking in background]

[ringing]

Blake.

[Isabel speaking indistinctly]

Thank you, Miss Summers,
put him through.

Inspector Blake.

[man speaking indistinctly]

Yes, sir.

[man speaking indistinctly]

We're all set
to bring Cooper over.

[man speaking indistinctly]

[thunder rumbling]

Change of plan, sir?

[thunder claps]

How many times, Oscar?

The street is not
a public toilet.

BLAKE:
Willows?

[people talking in background]

Sorry, sir, only
three men have turned up.

The rest of the night shift
are off sick.

[sighs]

Well, just to add
to our good fortune,

I spoke to the governor
of Newgate.

A mob has gathered
outside the prison,

and he doesn't feel it's safe
to transfer Cooper tonight.

A mob?

Newgate's nowhere
near the rookeries.

That doesn't make any sense.

What's more worrying is,

Cooper seemed to know about it
in advance.

[thunder rumbles]

Keep an eye out...
something isn't right.

Yes, sir.

[people talking in background]

Oscar, no!

[man coughing]

All right, what's going on?

What can you tell me
about the unrest at Newgate?

Back already, Inspector?

Answer the question.

Hm, unrest in Newgate, you say?

[clicking tongue]
What dark times we live in.

Oh.

I do hope it's safe for me
to be transferred.

I do hope it's safe for me
to be transferred.

You'll be leaving soon enough.

[shushing]

[softly]:
Lower your voice, Inspector.

You might wake poor old Ernest.

And he's so enjoying his nap.

[thunder rumbles]

[sighs]:
Hm.

Now.

What is it
that's bothering you, exactly?

I mean,
I could take a wild guess.

I could guess that the riots
in the rookeries

have spread to Newgate,

and I could guess
that you've been told

I have to stay here
for the night.

And I could guess that you
think I'm behind it all.

Don't presume to know
what I'm thinking, Mr. Cooper.

And if I could do that,

who knows what else
I might be planning?

Especially as I hear
there's sickness

spreading through your men.

I've locked up the back gate,
sir.

I've put Redmond and Watkins
on guard.

What did Cooper say?
Do you think he knows something?

I'm afraid I do.

To what extent he's involved,
I can't be sure.

[sighs]

The man plays poker
for a living.

It's hard to know
when he's bluffing.

You know, a few years back,
when I was at Bristol,

I arrested a g*ng leader.

He was put on trial for m*rder
and sentenced to be hanged.

The morning his sentence
was due to be carried out,

a riot broke out in the prison.

His g*ng had paid off
a dozen or so prisoners

to cause a distraction
so they could spring him out.

Luckily, one of my officers
got wind of the plan,

and we were able to stop it.

Someone snitched?

BLAKE:
In a way.

It's a long story involving
a lady of the night

who talks in her sleep.

My point is,
this g*ng leader had

half the money and influence
that Cooper has.

If Cooper puts his mind to it,
God knows what he's capable of.

You think we need more men?

I'm afraid I do.

[thunder rumbles]

ISABEL:
Hello? Bow Street?

Bow Street, can you hear me?

Why are the doors all locked?
What's going on, Georgie?

It's just a precaution.
What does that mean?

The riots are getting worse.

You don't think
they'll come here?

No, but it's better to be safe
than sorry.

Inspector Blake wants you to
keep calling the other precincts

to see if they can spare us
some more men.

Well, I was just
on my way to tell you,

the phone lines are dead.

I've connected the cable
to Bow Street Station,

but there's nothing, just a
sort of hiss. [line hissing]

It's the same with Aldgate,
Southwark, Deptford.

Keep trying.

I'll go speak

getting through

to the other precincts?
The phones are dead, sir.

She can't make or receive calls.

My day just gets
better and better.

Nothing.
[thunder rumbling]

Has this happened before?

Has this happened before?

Not to me, but I remember
one of the girls saying

the lines cut out
a few weeks back,

when we had that storm.

Tonight's even worse.

[thunder rumbling]

There's an urn
in the clerical office.

Shall I go make the men
a cup of tea?

That is the best suggestion
I've heard all day.

Thank you, Miss Summers.

Do you really think
it is the storm?

I don't know.

[thunder rumbling]
And if it isn't?

[sighs]

We just need
to get through the night.

Watkins, take the back gate.

Murray, you stay on the front.

If anyone attempts to break in,
you fire a warning shot

above their heads.
Sir.

After ten years in the Army,
I can assure you

few men run towards
the sound of g*nf*re.

Who are they? Found them
playing cards in the kitchen, sir.

Freddie is a rat catcher
and Arthur is a kitchen porter.

You told me
to gather everyone, sir.

Have you fired a weapon before?

No.
No, sir.

Well, take some blankets
from the infirmary room

and get yourself up on the roof.

Keep a lookout,
and if you see anyone,

let me know immediately.

[sighs]

All will be well, lads.

The gates at the front and back
are solid iron

and built for this very purpose.

Ah!

Miss Summers, perfect timing.

Thank you.

Thanks, miss.

Thank you.

Right, get to it, lads.

I don't mean to be rude, but

I think,
under the circumstances,

I could do with something
a little stronger.

There's a bottle
of scotch in my office.

Georgie, who's that copper,
PC Murray?

He's new, he's not
been here very long.

I've seen him somewhere before,
I just can't remember where.

He probably just reminds you
of someone from your past.

A gentleman caller, perhaps?

Keep that up,

you'll be wearing that tea,
not drinking it.

It's a little bit milky
for my taste.

Cheeky sod.

I'd better get back.

With any luck, the lines
