01x05 - Cell 99

[bunniefuu]

- [Horse snorts]
- [Train horn blows]

as*ault and battery, three
hundred and eighteen incidents.

Fraud and forgery,
six hundred and twelve.

Street robbery,
nine hundred and five.

Burglary and theft,
five hundred and six.

-Criminal damage... -good god, man.
Is there much more of this?

You asked for
a detailed report, sir.

You don't have to take
everything I say literally.

Show some initiative.

This must've taken you hours.

Days, sir.

Just... summarize.

Recorded crime has increased
marginally over the last year

but our rates
of detection have improved.

Particularly in the areas
of m*rder and organized crime.

You see...
That's all you had to say.

Dismissed...

[Sighs]

Oh, and there's drinks later at
the brownlee for division heads.

It'd be useful to have that
information, so you'll come along?

I'm sure, sir, that a man of your
considerable ability doesn't need me...

That's an order... Wellington.

I assume you still
wish to be promoted.

[Clears throat] Yes, sir.

Then you'll be at the brownlee with
your little facts and figures.

Formal dress, obviously.

No kilts!

[Frank laughing] Going to try it
on for me?

Get out, Frank!

I do so love a gentleman
in formal wear.

I'm not in the mood. Get out!

- I could give you some pointers.
- On how to dress like a vagrant?

Now you've hurt my feelings.
[Laughs]

- [Door closes]
- [Exhales]

[Whimsical music playing]

- [Frank] Calm yourself, woman.
- [Sighs] For god's sake, Eliza. Not today.

It's not her, it's...

Inspector Wellington, I must
speak with you right away.

I'm going out of my mind
with worry.

About what?

It's miss Scarlet...

She's disappeared.

[Suspenseful music playing]

Theme music playing

I spent yesterday
at my mother's place in hackney.

I stay over there sometimes
to help with her leg... gout.

Terrible it is. They say
it's only the rich that get it

but she hasn't got
two pennies to rub together.

Yes, that's all very sad, but...
What's happened to Eliza?

I got back to the house
this morning,

just after eight.

I called out for her
but there was no reply.

So I went into her room and
the bed hadn't been slept in.

Well, I'm sure she'd risen early
and made the bed herself.

I've known that girl
since she was five years old,

and not once has she ever
made her bed.

Or tidied her room.
She can barely even cook.

I fail to see the mystery.
She'll be at work.

[Ivy] I went to her office.

It was locked up.

I asked around
and no one has seen her.

She's in trouble, inspector.

I'm certain of it.

I'm sure there's a perfectly
reasonable explanation.

She's never done
anything like this before.

She always lets me know where
she's going or when she'll be back.

I'm telling you.
She's in trouble, inspector.

[Cries] If anything happened
to that girl...

- Oh, god.
- [Ivy sobs]

[Crying]

When did you last see her?

[Sniffles]

Yesterday morning.

She was leaving
the house for a meeting.

A meeting with who?

Now, I must say, inspector,

I have never seen
you look so smart.

He looks... what is the word?

- Stattlich.
- Stattlich.

What does that mean?

Dashing... handsome.

- Stattlich.
- Hm.

Once again, forgive
the intrusion but I wish to...

Sorry, where are my manners?
I don't believe you have been introduced to

Miss Hildegard, who is
Herrhildegard's radiant niece.

Pleased to meet you, madam.

- Now, gentlemen, I wonder if i...
- Inspector Wellington is a...

What is the German word
for "detective"?

- It is the same... "Detektiv."
- Really?

[Chuckles] Isn't that funny?

- [Duke chuckles]
- You'll take a drink, inspector?

No, I can't stay long.

I'm here on behalf
of miss Scarlet... or rather her maid.

Miss Scarlet and I...

How do I say that I am the sole investor
in miss Scarlet's detective agency,

providing both financial support and, on
occasion,

advice on the more complex cases.

- [Duke] I...
- [Herr hildegard groans]

I understand that you had a meeting
with miss Scarlet yesterday morning.

Yeah... yes and no, we...

We were supposed to meet but when I arrived
she was in a most... agitated state.

Agitated?

She had made some kind of
discovery and did not elaborate.

And whatever it was,

it was clearly pressing
as she requested

to postpone our meeting
until later in the week.

I saw her as she was leaving.

She seemed in
a tremendous hurry.

And was indeed most agitated.
I helped her to find a cab.

[Impatient] A cab to where?

Do not talk to me about that woman.
She has given me nothing but trouble.

What time did she come here?

I've told her till I'm blue in
the face that she's not welcome.

But still she persists.

Do you know who was here when she
turned up? The city coroner.

How do you think
that makes me look?

Mr. Potts, time is against me
and I'm struggling

to control my temper.
So before I do something we both regret,

just tell me when you
last saw miss Scarlet.

Yesterday morning.
Quarter past eleven, give or take.

She came waltzing in here at a hundred
miles an hour, firing out questions.

I had to insist she leave, since, as
I say, the city coroner was here.

What... questions was she asking?

You do realize she threatened
me inspector?

- Scoffs
- I'm not going to tell you what she said.

But it's not something a Christian
should say let alone a woman

What questions?

[Sighs] She wanted to know
all about smallpox.

How long the virus lingers
outside the body.

What precautions can be taken
to avoid transmission.

I said, although there are entire
essays written on the subject,

it wasn't a conversation
to be had on a street corner.

But she insisted she
had to know right away.

[Sighs] Why?

She said it was a matter of life and death,
although who knows with that woman?

I wouldn't trust a single word
that came out of her mouth.

[Clink]

[Sighs]

You are conflicted
as to what to do?

[Laughs]

Why did you always do that?

- Do what?
- Give me orders

but pose them like a question.

Because I learned very quickly that you
needed to come to your own conclusion.

The conclusion that
you always wanted to hear.

Great minds and all that.

Your daughter
is causing me a headache.

You have my sympathy, William.
She caused me many headaches.

You both did.

God, I miss you, Henry.

Not as much as I miss you,
my dearest boy.

[Sighs]

So... you will do
your duty to me.

And you will find her.

Yes, sir.

[Groans]

[Sighs]

[Tense music playing]

"Woolwich prison."

[Eliza screams]
Help!

Help me!

[Banging]

Somebody!

[Banging]

[Desperately:] Help!

[Birds squawking]

[Tense music playing]

[Sighs]
For god's sake, Eliza.

[Shouts] Eliza!

[Sinister music playing]

Eliza!

- Eliza!
- [Echo]

[Eliza] Help!

- Help!
- Where are you?

[Metal creaks]

[Eliza]William!

- Eliza?
- I'm in cell 98!

What are you doing in there?

- [Eliza] I'm locked in.
- [Duke laughs]

- What?
- [Impatiently] Just... get me out!

William?

- [Frantic] William!
- Yes, I'm coming.

[Metal clangs]

Oh, thank god.

I've been stuck here for hours.
The door slammed shut behind me.

- What are you doing in there?
- I'll tell you in a moment.

Just look for my bag.
There are tools

inside you can use
to pick the lock.

- Why are you dressed like that?
- Would you like to talk about that now

or would you like me
to get you out of there?

Look for the tension wrench...

Yes, I know how to pick a lock.

[Tools clang]

[Clinking]

How did you find me?

You leave a trail of chaos
wherever you go. It wasn't hard.

- What are you doing here?
- I found my father's old case book.

This place is mentioned several times,
including in his last entry.

You remember he was missing for
two days before he died? Well...

I assumed he was drinking or gambling
but now I believe he came here.

I read some of his case book
in your office.

A long list of gambling debts
and taverns that provide credit.

"Woolwich prison." The words
"cell 99" underlined twice.

[Groans] "Cell 99."

I looked around and the cell
numbers only go up to 98.

There must be another wing.

When you've freed me,
we must go and look.

Eliza...

I cared for Henry, too,
and I mourn him every day.

But he was erratic
towards the end.

I hadn't seen him sober
for months, and neither had you.

I came in here to look
around to see if there

are any... clues to cell


One minute the door was open,
the next it slammed shut.

The place is deserted.
There's nothing here.

[Groans]

Oh! I thought you knew
how to pick a lock.

Would it surprise you that prison
doors are designed not to be picked?

Here, give it to me.

Give it!

[Exhales]

Why are you dressed
like that anyway?

I'm due at the brownlee club
in three minutes.

Thanks to you I'll be late and stirling
will have even less respect for me

than he does already.

[Groans] I'm sorry.

Lord knows
what he'd make of you.

Superintendent Frederick
aloysius stirling.

Well, I'm sure I'll meet him
soon enough.

Won't I?

Yeah.

I mean...

You have told him
we've worked together?

It's one thing him
reading about you in the paper,

- it's quite another...
- You still haven't told him!

Look, I have a career
to protect.

As do I.

Yes, for now. But it's likely that
before long you'll find someone suitable

and nature will take its course.

Nature will take its course?

Yes.

How dare you, William?

How dare I put my plans on hold to
follow you on a wild goose chase?

How dare I rescue you?

I'd hardly call this a rescue.

Go on! Go to your stupid club.
I don't need your help anyway.

[Tools clang]

[Frustrated scream]

[Frustrated scream]

[Lock rattles]

Who does she think she is?

[Continues mumbling]

[Frustrated mumbling to self]

[Groans in frustration]

- [Slap]
- [Agitated chuckle]

[Pants] Come on!

[Bangs door]

Damn it.

William?

- [Keys jangle]
- [Footsteps approach]

Who are you?

I said... who are you?

I'm the man with the knife.

- Good to meet you.
- [Click]

I'm the man with the g*n.

Put it down
and get on the floor.

[Eliza]William!

- [Groans]
- [Thud]

[Eliza]William!

I know you're still here.

- [Groans]
- [Grunts]

Don't expect me to apologize.
You'd try the Patience of a Saint.

William!

[Eliza screams frantically]
William!

[Duke] Does she ever shut up?

- [Crack]
- [Scream]

[Groaning]

[Clank]

[Exhales loudly] Finally.

[Banging]

William?

William?

William?

[Relieved sigh]

You were right. There is someone else here.
We have to go.

- Your arm. Let me see.
- We don't have time.

If you bleed to death
I'll be here on my own. Come on.

There's a lot of blood.

Your hand, it's very swollen.

- [Groans]
- Can you move your fingers?

I think there's a bone broken.

- How did you open the door?
- Persistence. You should try it some time.

We need to stem the bleeding.

Take off your jacket.

No.

This cost me a week's wages.

Fine... I will cut it off.
- Eliza... Eliza!

- [Tears fabric]
- [Groans]

Where is he? The man
who attacked you.

He's hurt too.
I don't know how badly.

He ran off
but I didn't see where.

Damn it.

What's that?

My watch. It broke in the fight.

Was it expensive?

I don't know. It was a gift.

Hurry up!

Who's it from?

A rich widow, a young heiress?
No, no, I've got it...

An actress?

It was your father, actually.

Really? What was the occasion?

It was the day
I was made detective.

Henry had been pushing
me for years.

Encouraging me to apply, quashing
every objection I raised.

Remember how he would wait for you
to finish a long list of reasons

before destroying them
with a single sentence?

It was most infuriating.

Wasn't it just?

The day I received the
news, I returned home

and he was on the doorstep...
With this.

On the back,
he'd engraved "tempus fugit."

"Time flies."

Yeah. He knew I had a tendency
for procrastination.

Well, not today, I hope.

Come on.

You owe me a dress jacket...
And a watch.

- I didn't break the watch.
- No, but I'm only

here because of you,
so it's your fault.

- [Groans]
- [g*nsh*t]

Are you hurt?

No... you?

- That was unforgivable. I apologize.
- I'm all right.

Did you see where it fell?

No.

I don't suppose you have another
g*n, do you? -No. Do you?

I'm not going out there unarmed.

- William... be careful!
- I am being careful.

I would dispute that.

Must you disagree
with everything that I say?

I'm sure that gate was open.
When we came up here.

You didn't close it, did you?

[g*nsh*t]

[g*nsh*t]

Go, go! In here!

[g*nsh*t]

- [Eliza] I've an idea.
- So have I.

I'll listen to yours
if you listen to mine.

Very well. Go ahead.

We employ a pincer move.
Each approaching from opposite directions.

If he wakes and sees one of us,
the other causes a distraction.

When he turns to take aim, the
person not in the firing line

rushes from behind.
Now your idea.

You stay here. I go punch
him in the face.

With respect, William that's a...

[dark music playing]

[Clink]

[g*nsh*t]

[Grunts]

See? My plan worked.

I think you'll find that was
a combination of both plans.

[DR. EDWARDS] He'S not drunk.

He's had a cardiac arrest.

I'm sorry to say he has passed.

I've seen him before.

He was the doctor
who brought my father home.

Sure it was him?

I'm certain.

"Cell 99."

[Keys jangle]

The door on
the upper landing's locked too.

When I get this open,
I'm going to find that cell.

No, you're coming with me,
get reinforcements and come back.

Then I'll be put back
in my box and might

never find out
what my father was doing here.

You're coming with me even if I have
to carry you kicking and screaming.

You can try.

We don't even know if any of these are the
right one.

There might be another way out.

It's a prison.
They're not designed with multiple exits.

These are coming loose...

William...

Let me.

[Sighs]

At least, I hope you
now believe that

father was investigating
something of substance.

I admit it's
a distinct possibility.

More than likely...

He was m*rder*d.

I promise you one thing...

Whoever did this to Henry,
they will pay.

[Man coughing]

Someone's awake.

Who are you?

Untie me and I'll tell you.

You locked that gate.

Where's the key?

Untie me and I'll tell you.

You're bleeding badly.

You'll be dead within
the hour if we don't get help.

Help's coming, all right.

But not for you.

Right after I shut you in,
I sent word.

Won't be long now.

That's why you should let me go
before things get nasty.

He's bluffing.

Try the keys again.
There might be a spare copy.

[Man] If they send
who I think they'll send,

the things he'll do to her...

Doesn't bear thinking about.

Shut your mouth
or I'll shut it for you!

This key fits!

But it's not moving!

[Loud bang]

What was that?

He's here.

You were right,
by the way, miss.

There is another way
out of here.

And another way in.

[Bang]

Garm!
There's two of them now!

He's got a filthy temper.

Very violent.

It's not his fault, mind.

He had a horrible childhood.

[Heavy footsteps]

By the time he was six
he was the size of a man.

His mother sold him
to a traveling freak show.

[Keys clattering]

He cried out for her
morning and night.

Got so bad he was
putting off the punters.

So the owner,
terrible drunkard...

Cut the poor boy's tongue out.

Call him off
or I'll put a b*llet in him.

You'll have to find one first.

I shot the rest of them.

[Click]

You're a big bloke,
handy with your fists.

Well, the one that isn't broken.

I'd say you'll last a good ten
seconds before he snaps your spine.

- [Keys clinking]
- [Groans]

k*ll them both!

Start with the tart.

- William! Now!
- [Groans]

I've never run
from a fight before.

This is no time for bravado.
William!

[Furious groaning]

Had you not been there I'd have stood
my ground and fought that creature.

- I don't think this is the right way.
- I think my right hand's broken.

I don't think any less of you.
You're one of the bravest men I know.

One of?

- Does this look familiar to you?
- It all looks familiar. The place is a maze.

You never came here
when it was open?

Do you know how many prisons
there are in London?

Actually, yes. I've been reading
rather vigorously on the subject.

This place was closed
two years ago.

Because of a smallpox outbreak.
Yes, I know.

Don't worry. We're pretty safe.

Smallpox...

...can't live that long
outside the body. I know.

- But did you also know?
- Yes, I know. Can we just concentrate

- on finding a way out of here?
- Of course.

Smallpox can be
reactivated on a hot day if

the temperature reaches


- But, I'm sure you already knew that.
- Yes, obviously.

It's rather warm in here,
isn't it?

[Eliza] Anything?

Just another dead end.

I told you we should've
taken that staircase.

- What are they for?
- Fumigation.

When they cleared
the prison they put down

poison to stop the rats from spreading.

I'm beginning to see the logic.

An abandoned building makes a
perfect hideout. But what are they hiding?

When you come back with
reinforcements, I'm coming with you.

- No, you're not.
- I'm coming with you!

I'm going to find cell 99 and
discover what's going on here.

You sure it's safe to be here?

You want to know or are
you just changing the subject?

Both.

It's safe. Unless you're a rat.

Poor things. I can't abide
cruelty to animals.

[Chuckles] Your father
was the same.

Do you remember
when he shot that dog?

He was in pieces for days.
Hated himself having to do it.

What are you talking about?

Let's try that staircase.
I'm certain that's the way out.

[Clears throat]

See? Here we are.

You seem fairly certain
it was father who shot that dog.

The memory can play tricks.

Am I right in thinking
you play cards for money?

You should know you have
the most glaringly obvious tell.

You sniff
when you're about to lie.

You family dog, the one that got run
over by the carriage, didn't die instantly.

- Henry had to put it out of its misery.
- What?

I'm sorry.
I know how fond you were of it.

I remember
comforting you at the time.

Comforting?

For the hundredth
time, it was just a kiss.

One that I seem to remember
you enjoyed.

I cannot have
this conversation again.

- Finally. We agree on something.
- And iamcoming back.

[Scream]Help!

[Man 1]Help me, please!

Over here, sir.

[Man 1]Hurry!

Here!

I'm in here!

What the hell is this?

[Man 1]Hurry!

He's in here.

William...

[Musical stab]

Give me the key.

[Man 1 panting]

Please, don't hurt me.

I'm Eliza Scarlet, this is

detective inspector Wellington.

Thank god... thank god.

I didn't know if you were with them.
I heard you come in.

Then I heard the lady's voice.

What are you doing here?

They made me. I didn't want to
but they made me.

- These are bills of exchange.
- They forced me to make them.

They said that if I tried
to escape

that thing, garb, would rip me
limb from limb.

How long have you been here?

I don't know...

Three months I think.

I can't say for sure.

What's your name?

If you want our help
we need to know who you are.

Nathaniel Caine.

These are as perfect
forgeries as I've ever seen.

I take it
that's your profession.

Retired.

I've done my time.

I told them that.

I said I wasn't interested.
I wasn't going back inside for no one.

I'd no choice.

Who are they?

You have to promise me.

That I won't go back inside.

You have my word.

[g*nsh*t]

We've got to go.
They'll k*ll us all.

The woolwich force are on green
hill place. If we get to the main road,

there might
be someone on patrol.

I'm not going back to prison.

The g*n's empty, Nathaniel.

Nathaniel!

[Tense music playing]

Nathaniel, stop!

[g*nsh*t]

I'm a police detective.

sh**t me and you'll have Scotland
yard hunting you day and night.

You'll also have a b*llet
in your chest!

I may not sh**t you with the first
shot but I'll keep pulling the trigger

until one of us is dead.

[Nathaniel coughs]

Thank you.

- [Coughing]
- Go get help!

- I'm not leaving you.
- He may not have long!

Keep applying pressure
to the wound.

I'll be back soon.

I can see him in you.

He had a kind face.

Just like yours. [Coughs]

- Who?
- [Coughing]

Your father.

- [Coughs]
- You knew him?

Nathaniel?

No...

[Wheezing]

No sign of the g*nman.
Or those th*gs who attacked us.

My men are searching
the other wings but it's

more than likely they've
made their escape.

And... Nathaniel?

- How is he?
- On his way to hospital.

The b*llet missed any major arteries
so there's every chance he'll live.

Good. I must speak to him
as soon as possible.

- Eliza...
- He knew my father.

I have to find out why.

How much is here, do you think?

Tens of thousands of pounds.

I haven't seen forgery
on a scale like this before.

And to keep the man hostage for
that length of time,

these are serious people, Eliza.

Which is why we should waste
no time in tracking them down.

It's very possible these men were
responsible for your father's m*rder.

They took the trouble to
make it look like a natural death.

And to bring his body back home.
The home where he used to live.

- I'm not afraid.
- I know.

I'll keep you informed of every
aspect of the investigation.

I'll even seek your counsel but
you need to leave this to me now.

Henry would never forgive me
if anything happened to you.

This is not a matter
for discussion.

You will have police protection
until the threat is over.

[Frank] Duke...

We found something.

It's not something
a lady should see.

She can cope.

One b*llet apiece.

That must've been
the shots we heard.

Was he the one
that shot the forger?

No that was someone else.
I'm sure of it.

So who were they then?

Why k*ll them?

Punishment?

For what?

For not k*lling us.

I must apologize for my appearance, sir.
And for missing the drinks.

I spent last night
at a crime scene.

So I hear.

- Quite the haul, so I believe.
- Yes, sir.

We estimate the forgeries to be in the
region of sixty-eight thousand pounds.

Good god.

And there's most likely
far more.

The man we found at the scene,
Nathaniel caine, had been there for months.

A criminal g*ng such as this will act
quickly once they know we're on to them.

- So we'll need to work around the clock.
- Very good.

[Clears throat]
You remember Henry Scarlet, sir?

The drunk?

The former
detective inspector, sir.

I believe his death may be
linked to the same criminal g*ng.

As such, I've ordered protection
for his daughter, Eliza.

That damn woman.

Running around London
making a fool of herself.

Does she really need
our protection?

She does.

Very well. That'll be all.

There is one more thing, sir.

Eliza Scarlet was the reason we
made this discovery in the first place.

She has, in fact, helped me
on several occasions.

In the solving of other crimes.

I'll find them.

I'll find them
and they will hang.

[Henry]I hid that
case book for a reason.

I knew if something happened to
me you'd come looking for answers.

What should I do?
Let them get away with it?

Let William and his men
do their jobs, Lizzie.

What if they miss something...
Some vital clue... However small?

You've done enough.

But now you're being reckless.
You're risking your life.

You've shown you're capable. You
don't need to die to prove the point.

I'm not proving anything
to anyone.

- Lizzie...
- Stop calling me that! I'm a grown woman!

[Knocks]

How was stirling?

[Moans] You know.

The usual. I don't think I'll be
getting promoted any time soon.

- Any news on Caine?
- He'll live.

The surgeon removed the b*llet
and some threads of clothing.

No sign of infection so far.

We'll go to the hospital
in the morning.

In the meantime, we need to find
his prison records.

Anything else?

The doctors told me
that Nathaniel was talking

when they brought him round.
Delirious stuff, mostly,

but he seemed quite clear
on one thing. He kept saying,

"he's coming for me."

Could it be that creature?
The giant.

No. It's some Jamaican.
Goes by the name of Moses.

[Knocking]

You're late.

There's two armed police
out the front.

I had to lie low, then I shimmied
over a wall and came around here.

Get me everything you can
on this man.

His name's Nathaniel caine.

[Indistinct shouting]

[Door opens]

What do you want?

[Muffled struggling]
