0:00

Huh? I

0:06

know what you're talking

0:09

about. This

0:30

includes, it turns out, the city of

0:32

even greater London. Although it's

0:34

debatable whether London qualifies as a good thing,

0:36

what with the eerie electrical crackling in the

0:38

sky, the unexplained fizzing sound this caused in

0:41

oak trees, and the unfortunate effect this had

0:43

on the animals living in those trees. In

0:46

particular, the emergence of so-called howler

0:48

squirrels, whose shrieking aggression had led

0:50

both to the imposition of heavy fines

0:52

on anyone carrying nuts in the street,

0:54

and to the hastily written, child-safety-focused

0:56

nursery rhyme, oak tree, bad tree, squirrels

0:59

can't get me. But regardless

1:01

of London's goodness or badness or just

1:03

plain immensity, come to an end it

1:05

does. And not just at the

1:07

coast, where it could be forgiven for

1:09

not progressing much further due to the

1:11

damp conditions, but also at its northern

1:13

edge, the Great Boundary Forest, where Britain

1:15

continues but its capital finally rests. And

1:18

it was at this northern end, at

1:20

Tamworth Station, the very northernmost point on

1:22

London's train lines, that Inspector Fleet and

1:25

Clara Entwistle were now disembarking, ready to

1:27

continue their investigation into another sort of

1:29

end. Death. The

1:32

horrible grisly end that had befallen a

1:34

number of people at the hands, or

1:36

claws, of some unknown person or thing,

1:39

that rumours had named the Beast. Joining

1:42

them on this mission was the reclusive

1:44

monster hunter, Baron de Vries, who believed

1:46

the Beast to be an incarnation of

1:48

the evil black dog of British myth

1:50

and folklore, and by the famed adventurer

1:52

and monster hunter but surrounded by quotation

1:54

marks, Gertrude Bapworth-Tome, who believed nothing of

1:56

the sort, but had something of a

1:58

reputation to keep. The four headed

2:01

out of the station to find their way to

2:03

the village where reports told of the gruesome death

2:05

of a local man. A death

2:07

which might hold the key to tracking

2:09

down the beast. To understanding the indiscriminate

2:11

killings that had left London gripped by

2:13

fear and, if in any way

2:15

possible, to bringing it all to an end.

2:21

We should be able to get a cab.

2:23

It isn't far to, um, the

2:25

place. What? The place

2:27

we're going, the village. Uh, Bishop,

2:30

uh, something... Yes, Bishop

2:32

Spromling. What's that? The

2:34

village, where the... something happened?

2:37

Are you alright? I think

2:39

so. Are you? It felt like

2:41

a very long train ride. It did. And I

2:43

think I know why. I

2:45

do not know why you continue

2:48

to debate me on well-established points

2:50

of cryptozoological fact. Because you've always

2:52

worked alone and you've never had a

2:54

knowledgeable companion to help you brush up

2:56

on your beasties. I am a

2:58

de Vries. I do not need

3:01

to brush up on my beasties. Oh, I

3:03

just need to find a cab. You don't

3:05

know your nixies from your knuckers. They are

3:07

very closely related water spirits. One is

3:09

a dragon baron. There must be a cab

3:11

stand. We are clearly working from

3:13

different reference books. And I

3:16

will not take instruction from someone who doesn't

3:18

even believe in any of it. Alright, de

3:20

Vries. Don't get your knuckers

3:22

in a twist. I'll

3:26

have you know that all of

3:28

my undergarments are untwistable, combat-ready, flame-retarded.

3:30

Enough, you two! You've been bickering

3:32

non-stop for hours. I'm gonna throttle

3:34

you. I'd like to

3:36

see you try. I'd like to see me

3:38

try. Baron, Miss Fabworth-Toam, I've been thinking,

3:41

when I've been able to think. And I

3:43

wonder if it might be better for us

3:45

to split into two teams. One

3:47

to go to Bishop's Bromley and inquire about this possible

3:50

victim of the beast, and

3:52

the other to go into the Boundary Forest and

3:54

look for signs of it directly. Couldn't agree more. With

3:56

me, Inspector. Oh. I do

3:58

love a woodland hut. Nothing

4:00

like a bramble ramble. I've

4:02

only packed the one hammock mine so it's

4:05

going to be a bit of a cozy

4:07

night for us both. Now I know what

4:09

you're thinking. I could just get back on the train

4:11

and maybe start a new life as a conductor. You

4:13

want choice of big or little spoon in

4:15

the hammock. And I give it

4:18

to you, Inspector. First dibs on spoonsies. That's

4:21

just the generous sort of gal gertie is.

4:23

A word of warning though, if you opt for

4:25

the big spoon. I've had to grapple my way

4:28

free from multiple boa constrictors in the past. And

4:31

I cannot promise the muscle memory won't

4:33

kick in and lead to an unfortunate

4:35

sleep throttling. There will be no

4:37

spoonsies. Suit yourself. Yes, I was thinking more

4:39

about you and the Baron. Agreed. Miss

4:42

Babworth-Tome and I should go to the village and

4:44

interrogate the villagers until they tell us what they

4:46

know. Um... Baron, a

4:48

word. Duty. Listen, I

4:50

think that if there is a beast

4:52

in the forest, it really would make

4:54

more sense for you and Miss Babworth-Tome

4:56

to track it. Sound reasoning, Inspector. I

4:59

have the skills to tackle the fiend. And

5:01

she might learn a thing or two in the process very well.

5:04

You find yourself a cab for hire and Miss

5:06

Babworth-Tome and I will take my carriage. What do

5:08

you mean, your carriage? We came by train. As

5:10

did my carriage. It's in the cargo

5:12

wagon at the rear. Rutland made all the

5:14

arrangements. Where is he, anyway? Ah!

5:19

Ah! There you are, Rutland. Not

5:21

too much trouble finding a loading suit here, then. Good

5:26

man. If you could haul out

5:28

the carriage and be gentle lifting the horses, there's a

5:30

good fellow. They're used to it,

5:32

but it's still, you know, being grasped by

5:34

a giant metal hand. There's only so used

5:36

to it, I imagine you can get. Looks

5:43

fun. Maybe Gertie gets a

5:45

go? Oh, Rutland!

5:48

Well, good luck in the forest, Baron. Meet you

5:50

later in the village, perhaps. The

5:53

Boundary Forest is a dark place, Miss

5:55

Entwistle. And from what I hear of

5:57

the village of Bishop's Bromley, it is darker still. Take

6:00

care. If we four survive

6:02

the night, we will meet again. Good

6:05

hunting. Cheerful

6:08

as ever. At least he's on our side,

6:10

but not at our side. True.

6:13

Cab? Yes. Oh,

6:15

they're behind here. Hello. Could you

6:17

take us to Bishop's Bromley, please? Goodness.

6:21

How rude. Don't forget it. Here's

6:23

another. Afternoon, Bishop's Bromley,

6:25

please. What did you say? I

6:28

said afternoon and please, and in between those,

6:30

Bishop's Bromley. That's what I thought. Yeah!

6:34

Excuse me. Hey! Will

6:37

anyone take us to Bishop's Bromley? You

6:42

can't decline fares. What's wrong with you all?

6:46

Oh, there's one cab left. What's

6:50

so funny? You would have driven off too, but

6:52

you've forgotten how. No, no. It's

6:55

you, isn't it? Silly folk. This is

6:57

London. We're all city folk. True, but

7:00

we're near the edge here. Not the same.

7:02

I'm pretty sure taxi regulations are still the

7:04

same, and driving away from passengers is a

7:06

good way to lose your licence. Well, looks

7:09

like someone has to explain it all to

7:11

you. Might as well be old

7:13

Noah. Oh, and this

7:15

is best. Say hello, best.

7:19

Good best. You are a

7:22

very pretty horse. Explain

7:24

what? Is there something about Bishop's Bromley?

7:27

Oh, there's something about Bishop's Bromley, alright.

7:30

Something that makes your heart thump

7:32

and your teeth chatter. The

7:35

cabbies? They won't go there. The

7:37

bus drivers? They won't go there.

7:40

Even best here? She

7:42

won't go there. Will

7:45

you, best? Will

7:47

you go there? It'll cost you. The

7:50

standard regulated taxi fare, I

7:52

assume. Oh, there's a surcharge

7:55

for destinations of extraordinary foreboding.

7:57

Oh yes, the foreboding surcharge.

8:01

One shilling, two at night, the

8:03

DEFINITIONS FOR THE SCREEN! Are you

8:05

even going to do anything? You

8:07

have tools! What's happening? It's the 1881,

8:09

even greater London, Tarriages for

8:11

Higher Practice Guidance and Table of Fairs, or

8:13

Greybook in the trade league. You

8:16

read a book about taxi regulations. Well, I am

8:18

still quite new to London. I

8:20

have to brush up wherever I can. And my library has a

8:23

new system, where if you borrow 11

8:25

books at once and don't return them in

8:27

time, because you underestimated how long it would

8:29

take to read 11 books at once, they

8:31

will let you escape without a fine if

8:33

you promise to stop phoning the librarian for

8:36

recommendations in the middle of the night. Isn't

8:38

that good? I'm sure some part of that is

8:40

good. But Driver, if your horse won't go where

8:43

we need, why are we talking about fares at

8:45

all? Ivan Davaros. Names,

8:47

electricity. Eleanor. Electricity.

8:49

E- L- Yes,

8:52

we get it. Your cab has a motor. 100% tar

8:54

energy. Quiet,

8:56

clean, not. Clean, not a nose bag in sight.

8:59

If you have a motor, why do you still have a horse? No,

9:03

no, it's all right, girl.

9:05

He's not the glue man.

9:07

He's just very rude. We

9:09

are in a bit of a hurry. Say no

9:11

more. I'll just get you

9:13

your driver. What? You're the driver. I

9:16

can't take you. I'll stay with this. So

9:19

you're offering neither a horse nor yourself. Do

9:21

we need to bring our own wheels?

9:23

No, no. Hold Noah's got you covered.

9:27

Say hello to the

9:29

auto cabbie. Good afternoon,

9:31

passengers. A beautiful day for

9:33

a cab ride. An automaton driver? You can't be

9:35

serious. Programmed in myself, sir. They

9:38

can barely wash cups. You've got it controlling a vehicle. You

9:41

want us to put our lives in its

9:43

hands. I am fitted with all modern safety

9:45

mechanisms. Such as? Rains. It's

9:49

as many as I've got. You're a living thing. You

9:51

have a strong motive not to drive us into a ditch. As

9:54

do I, sir. That

9:56

Would impede my primary function of reaching

9:59

our destination. Omaha. Beach

10:01

is the best then I shouldn't. Council

10:03

I have roots in every speech: Bishops,

10:06

Probably. Also have. Eaten absolutely not.

10:08

Tabby Human savvy. I insist you

10:10

drivers to the Village on obliged

10:12

sir. I'm a great Book is

10:15

directly that you cannot exist when

10:17

I have provided an alternative driver.

10:19

Uncommon since I. Became

10:22

so you know and remember record

10:24

in his. Seat what sealed fantasies

10:26

there own. It was a camp. Le

10:29

Wickedness. Would you rather go into

10:31

every single tude? As

10:42

was glad to hear it. Up.

10:45

On board and also Gabi will

10:47

are not arrest. You know if

10:49

you're very welcome Miss. Just so

10:51

I understand you have a powered

10:53

cab and an automaton driver. Why

10:55

are you even hear? Honestly, so

10:58

do I. Love. Enjoy

11:00

the terraform village of Bishops

11:02

Bromley. The

11:08

cab trundle that of the stations and before

11:10

long sleeved and Clara began to sense that

11:12

they were approaching the periphery of even Greater

11:14

London. The. Buildings grew smaller and

11:17

more spaced apart, broken up by

11:19

empty plots and soon entire fields.

11:21

And they traveled along something Clara

11:23

hadn't seen since you left Yorkshire,

11:25

a country road. In

11:27

the distance the horizon was blanketed in dark

11:29

to saints that stop the sky like the

11:31

teeth of an endless saw blade. This.

11:34

Was the Boundary Forest? Running.

11:36

From Britain's West Coast to his

11:38

east. Impossibly dense and school for

11:40

good measure of an enormous number

11:42

of wolves who were technically employed

11:44

by London's border control although for

11:46

tax reasons the authority prefer to

11:48

describe them as freelancers. The.

11:51

Boundary Forest was the end for

11:53

a Londoner of everything. But.

11:55

Even the rare ominous cited The Forest was

11:57

not what Clara and Fleet found themselves focusing

11:59

on. Because. In front of the

12:01

forest, the road simply stopped. I'm

12:04

at the roads and there was a village.

12:07

And. High high up above the village

12:09

and in front of it and all

12:11

around it really forming avast hemisphere arresting

12:13

impossibly on the ground as if a

12:15

moon was being swallowed by the earth.

12:17

There was a cage. Across

12:30

Tastes. Like

12:32

a driver was it. Was.

12:47

So you're. Coming.

12:53

Up an hour every new in it's. Ever

12:56

go into the guys? Why don't you

12:58

want going to the. Side. But.

13:01

Apparently. almost the villages under it's we

13:04

have to go in my town. Of

13:10

three times. The know your point risks.

13:13

Your primary function is to take us to our

13:15

destination. Absolutely nothing.

13:18

Would bring my great surprise just wonderful

13:20

into the cage blaze of course. Lot

13:25

of never felt before. Oh

13:29

dear, he'll be fine. The

13:34

coming up on me and says. He

13:38

doesn't like is she awoke. Lunatics

13:41

will be with you. must grapple

13:43

in both. Two.

13:48

Titles on Can't I go into the.

13:50

Time will be inside mental agility and in

13:52

your seen a lot. stop

13:54

complaining is all right here we

13:57

go Hey!

14:00

We're inside the cage! Phew! What

14:02

a relief! Looks like the village is just a

14:05

way up ahead. It's completely surrounded by this thing.

14:08

What? Why are we stopping? Autocabby, what's

14:10

happening? The cap has lost power! It's

14:13

probably something to do with the cage my

14:16

creator begged me not to enter. A plea

14:18

which it was my pleasure to have you

14:20

force me to ignore. It's just a giant

14:22

metal cage, it hasn't done anything! It's

14:25

a salad cage! I've read

14:27

about these! The filament stopped the tower

14:29

energy getting through, like a giant

14:31

fishing net. Except where you want all the

14:33

fish to stay on the outside. So the exact opposite

14:35

of a fishing net? Right. But

14:37

the electricity can't get through it. I

14:40

think the idea was intended for delicate equipment

14:42

in laboratory settings. But there's no reason why

14:44

it shouldn't work on this scale. Why would

14:46

you build something to block out all the

14:48

tower energy? You'd break everything! No buses, no

14:51

location calls, no public address systems, no automa-

14:53

Okay, no, I understand. But that means... I

14:56

don't feel so good! Oh no!

14:58

Autocabbie! What is happening to me? Uh...

15:01

Hold on, Autocabbie! You're a good

15:03

boy, Autocalpone! Oh my god! We

15:05

killed him! We didn't kill him!

15:08

What would you call it? Off?

15:10

Why didn't we listen? Wait!

15:13

He's alive! Why can he cough?

15:15

Listen to Autocabbie! Listen to

15:18

my final words! You're not dying! You

15:20

just need towing! We're listening, Autocabbie!

15:23

I cannot go on, but I made

15:25

a promise that I would get you to Bishop's

15:27

Bromley. Listen therefore, to the

15:29

ancient words of my people. What

15:31

people? Go

15:36

straight for 200 yards. Cross

15:39

the roundabout, take in the second exit.

15:42

Carry on for 300 yards. You

15:44

have reached your destination. Thank

15:50

you, Autocabbie. I mean it's clearly just the one road I'm

15:52

sure we can... Oh,

15:54

he's back. He who binds

15:57

to himself a joy... Come on! Does

15:59

the winging... life destroy he

16:02

who kisses the joy as it flies lives

16:05

in eternity's sunrise I

16:13

think I think he's

16:15

gone Oh

16:30

so Bishop's Bromley at last what

16:32

a lovely little village remind you

16:35

of home again feet there are cities

16:37

outside London even in my oh

16:39

so remote Yorkshire can you guess the

16:41

name of the city after which Yorkshire might be named

16:43

feet sure ha

16:46

ha but yes this is just like

16:48

any village in the country up north here's

16:51

the little fakers over there's

16:53

a schoolhouse that looks like a

16:55

meeting hall there's a small mill over

16:57

there over this way the duck pond

16:59

villages come with duck ponds that

17:03

is a bonus don't feed them bread fleet I wasn't

17:05

going to it's very bad for them I wasn't gonna

17:07

feed them anything really half mile

17:13

wide wire dome we're underneath exactly

17:15

and the people staring at us

17:18

well no that's not that unusual villages

17:20

are quiet places the people leaving their

17:22

homes and businesses to line the road and fear

17:24

Whistle. To. Pay off some. Older

19:44

and we have some questions I

19:46

am sure you do. Everyone who

19:48

comes the Bishops Bromley has questions

19:50

know but ours are urgence, life

19:52

or death quest. I myself was

19:54

a towel receive a repairman but

19:56

then one day I began to

19:58

cool. Seems to Moses X. of

20:00

the city, with its electric

20:02

skies and buzzing air. Its

20:05

devices that make us skittish and

20:07

weak-willed. Its automatons that claim

20:09

to serve, but only teach us the

20:12

speaking ways they understand. And its

20:14

tower, which promises to free us, but

20:17

only brings us to itself. It

20:21

is all a folly, and

20:23

one by one we have come here to find

20:25

a new way of life, to

20:28

find the wilting flowers of our

20:30

selfhoods, and allow them once more

20:32

to bloom. Maybe I didn't

20:34

say urgent loudly enough. Are you with the

20:36

Tower Temperance League? I think I saw

20:38

them picketing Parliament to shut off the tower at

20:41

night, so people can walk their dogs without them

20:43

getting charged with static electricity and stuck halfway up

20:45

a wall. Many of us turned first

20:47

to the Temperance League. Oh,

20:49

they espouse moderation. Tower free

20:51

hours, tea time not electricity time,

20:54

that sort of thing. But

20:56

it doesn't go nearly far enough. Here

20:59

we are free of the Tower's

21:01

temptations and the sins it impels.

21:03

Sins. Of course. Take

21:06

Hyacinth over there. Joyous arrival,

21:09

friends. Two years

21:11

ago, Hyacinth worked in a

21:13

locution glass cafe in Peckham,

21:15

and the sheer possibilities of

21:17

those devices meant she spent

21:19

her breaks making endless prank

21:21

calls. Harmless at first,

21:24

but when she found the number of the Swiss Embassy...

21:26

That was her! Only this month has

21:29

the Emmental Embargo finally lifted.

21:31

Here such devices do not

21:33

work, and such temptations drift away.

21:37

No endless distractions, no constant

21:39

irritations, no buzzing in the

21:41

air of the waves of the

21:44

infinite. Here we have life as

21:46

it used to be. It's like you're not in

21:48

London at all. We are not.

21:50

You are, though. Everything south of

21:52

the boundary forest is London. Technically

21:55

you are correct, but we have

21:57

long since lived outside the city's

21:59

tyrannical rule. You haven't and you

22:01

don't. But anyway, the reason why we're here...

22:03

Ah yes, to rebirth your

22:05

minds. Sorry? The reason we all

22:07

come here, friends. It

22:09

will be a difficult adjustment if the withdrawals

22:11

are severe, but soon you

22:14

will find tranquility. I'm sorry, look.

22:16

We're not here for tranquility and

22:18

we're certainly not here to rebirth

22:20

anything. We're here because someone was

22:22

murdered. I...

22:26

Friend? It's not friend. It's Inspector Fleet.

22:28

Miss Entwistle and I are private detectives

22:30

on contract from Scotland Yard. You

22:32

are not here to escape the ways of the

22:35

Tower? To set yourselves free?

22:37

No. We're here to find a murderer

22:39

and set them extremely not free. There's

22:41

been a pattern of grisly killings and we're led

22:43

to believe the first victim lived here in Bishop's

22:46

Bromley. You refer to the shark. The

22:48

beast. We don't, but people keep thinking

22:50

it's that, so yes. You sound somewhat

22:52

skeptical, Inspector. I wouldn't say somewhat. Friends,

22:54

it is no harm that they know

22:57

the truth. None of us has done

22:59

any wrong. Please, return to

23:01

your scones. His

23:05

name was Otis Heepee. The

23:07

Miller's boy, just 19. His whole life ahead

23:10

of him... He

23:12

was discovered mauled to death deep in

23:14

the great forest. People go into the

23:16

forest? We go to the edge, for

23:19

lumber and berries and such. But Otis

23:21

had ventured much too far in, for

23:23

what purpose we know not. Only

23:26

that it could not have been good. This

23:29

punishment ought to be the shark's first

23:31

victim. To awaken it or

23:33

draw it near and unleash it upon

23:35

the city. And why was his death

23:37

not recorded with central administration? As I

23:39

said, Inspector, we live outside of city

23:42

rule. You don't, and it's a legal

23:44

requirement. We have our own ways. Ways?

23:46

Rules, processes, things one must or must

23:48

not do. That's laws! You're describing laws!

23:50

We have those! Alderman, as you've

23:52

not reported the death, in the usual... Legally

23:55

required. ...manner, may I ask how

23:57

it was recorded? In the parish register, of

23:59

course. As a beast attack? I

24:01

believe the wording was, Riven by the shock?

24:03

But yes. And do you know this because

24:05

there was an inquest? A post-mortem

24:08

to confirm the cause of death? No need.

24:10

Because you're all trained coroners? Because the body

24:12

was covered in bite and claw marks and

24:14

when the reports emerged about the beast, we

24:16

knew it must be one and the same.

24:19

Couldn't it have been the wolves in the forest? We

24:21

considered that, but then we heard the evidence

24:23

of Watchman Tate. Two nights

24:25

prior to Otis's death, Watchman Tate

24:27

saw the shock running through

24:30

the forest. Twice a

24:32

wolf in size. That's

24:34

what you're basing this on. Someone dies in exactly

24:36

the way they would if they encountered a wolf,

24:38

of which there are thousands in the forest. And

24:40

because one person was suggestible enough to imagine seeing

24:42

a beast one night, that's what you think must

24:45

have done it. You might be making some assumptions

24:47

here, Aldermen. Some, but the reports saw the beast

24:49

from the city. It could be a coincidence.

24:51

Maybe he just saw a really big wolf?

24:54

Two days before Otis's mauling, and

24:56

a week before further killings in

24:58

the city, impossible. Such

25:00

unusual occurrences could never simply

25:02

coincide. That's... that's exactly

25:05

what a coincidence is! You're

25:07

describing and almost saying coincidence.

25:09

Well, to progress in our wider investigation,

25:11

we do need to be sure how

25:13

Otis was killed. That's right. We need

25:15

to assume the body and establish whether his

25:18

injuries are consistent with the attacks from the

25:20

other places that are also, like here, part

25:22

of London. I cannot allow that. Why not?

25:24

It might bring unwanted attention to Bishop's Bromley.

25:27

What if people take notice of our

25:30

different ways, tear down our defensive

25:32

dome, seek retribution, insist we pay

25:34

taxes? What? No. No. Our

25:36

peaceful lives here are hard fought and hard won.

25:39

We have created something good, something meaningful, and

25:41

we will never allow it to be

25:43

taken away from us. Now,

25:47

let us return to more pleasant matters.

25:51

Inspector Fleet, I notice you

25:53

have not yet tried Mrs.

25:55

Hevelmore's famous raspberry compote. This

25:58

shall not stand. So,

26:03

what do you think, Fleet? Think it was the

26:05

beast that attacked this Otis Hebe chap? Well,

26:07

no, because there's no such thing. I mean

26:09

whatever or whoever it is that's killing

26:11

people. I don't know. I'll tell

26:13

you one thing. That olderman is hiding something.

26:16

All the more reason to just do it, regardless. Do

26:18

what? Take a look at the body. Sorry,

26:21

are you suggesting we just go into the churchyard

26:23

and dig him up? I'd wait until night. Oh,

26:25

good. I was worried you hadn't thought this through.

26:27

Better to ask forgiveness than seek permission, Fleet. With

26:29

emptying a grave? I think asking forgiveness in

26:31

that case is called throwing yourself on the

26:33

mercy of the court. Did you bring a change of

26:36

clothes? Your trousers and jacket will be fine,

26:38

but the white shirt might attract attention. Oh, of

26:40

course. I have my valets prepare my evening

26:42

grave-robbing attire. I assume you have some shovels

26:44

and the medical training to carry out a

26:46

post-mortem. I do not. Then let's get a

26:48

coroner here rather than attempt this insanity ourselves.

26:51

Why are you smiling like that? Because we're collaborating,

26:53

Fleet. Plans building on plans. We

26:56

always collaborate. That's the whole premise of having a business together. Yes,

26:58

but there's always an added thrill when we're out on

27:00

a case. Anyway, you were saying

27:03

about our plan. Well, we could

27:05

call Septimus. He's quite far back in

27:07

the city, but he could come in the morning. Or,

27:10

and just to build on your idea, what

27:12

if we could have already called him? Could

27:15

have already. In the past. So

27:17

he could be here much sooner. Well, that plan would

27:20

require a time machine, Clara, but otherwise it seems

27:22

pretty sound. You already

27:24

did it. I did. When?

27:27

You told us this might be where the Beast first appeared. Better

27:30

to have a pathologist and not need him than need him

27:32

and not have him, right? Wait. Are

27:35

you now? Is that a... Is

27:38

that the merest hint of what might be the

27:40

beginnings of a smile? It's your birthday.

27:42

No. What are you writing? Well,

27:46

you keep refusing to tell me your birthday

27:48

directly, so I'm deducing it by process of

27:50

elimination. We'll get there eventually. Unless I lie.

27:53

You can't lie on your birthday, Fleet. But

27:56

no. Why were you almost smiling? Because

27:59

it was a good idea. What was?

28:01

Calling Septimus, and if you called

28:03

him that long ago, he'll be nearly here. Fleet

28:08

and Clara headed out of the village and its cage

28:10

to wait by the road for any sign of Dr.

28:12

Bell's approach. Eventually,

28:14

they heard a vehicle coming around the bend.

28:18

If you were to walk into a museum of transportation, select

28:20

three vehicles at random, disassemble them,

28:22

sweep all the pieces into a single pile, and

28:25

then ask a different person to go in, find the pile

28:27

of pieces, and create a single vehicle from it, that person

28:29

would refuse. It's

28:31

an absurd request, and people have things to be getting on

28:33

with. If you ask nicely

28:35

enough, or better yet, paid them, that person would, without fail,

28:39

create a mode of transport with a clearer,

28:41

more sensible design than what Fleet and Clara

28:43

now saw. The vehicles,

28:45

three wheels and chassis, supported a blue canvas-covered

28:47

frame, large enough for a couple

28:49

of horses to travel in comfort, if confusion. Two

28:52

men in thick, dark coats were sitting at the front,

28:54

legs dangling over the edge, but

28:57

they held no reins and operated no controls, instead

29:00

just staring at the road ahead from their perch. Most

29:03

unusual of all, however, was that atop the

29:05

cargo frame, there was a

29:07

white triangular sail, roughly the height of a man, which

29:10

was being gripped by something exactly the height of a man. A

29:13

man. That

29:15

man was Dr. Septimus Bell, and as he wind-surfed his

29:17

wagon along the dirt road, he

29:19

wore the wide eyes and crazed grin of someone who

29:21

was trying very hard to convince himself that

29:24

what he felt was exhilaration, not terror. Inspector!

29:28

Septimus! What is that? Sorry,

29:30

it's, uh, I'm concentrating

29:32

on controlling this. Can

29:35

you bring it to a halt? Of course! Of course!

29:37

You just... Is

29:39

there a brake? Do sailboats have brakes,

29:41

Inspector? Do they have wheels? Must be

29:44

one of these ropes here. Push

29:47

the sail out! Push the... Oh,

29:49

yes! That's

29:53

too much! Squeeze! Abandoned

29:55

wagon men! They jumped off

29:57

50 feet ago! Oh! Ohhhhhh!

30:02

Oof! Are

30:08

you alright, Dr. Bell? Oh yes, yes. The

30:10

challenging steering is a small price to pay.

30:13

For what? Why, a vehicle that can

30:15

run on nothing but the breeze. This

30:17

is my new Ambulator Air Pathology

30:20

and Forensics Laboratory. A science wagon.

30:22

No, it's... I'm not saying that

30:24

again. Why does it have a

30:26

sail? Situations just like this? Areas

30:29

at the edge of the city where the tower's energy

30:31

gets a little unreliable? Or in the

30:33

case of Bishop's Bromley, it stops entirely.

30:36

We came up with it by freight train to

30:38

Tamworth Station and sailed our way here. Very civilized. You're

30:42

going to introduce us to your friend, Septimus? Of

30:44

course. Ah, well, I'm

30:46

not sure friends is quite right. Although, we've

30:48

been getting to know each other, haven't we?

30:51

And there's a certain camaraderie among those

30:53

in our profession. A

30:56

certain espuede corpse. Missentwistle,

30:59

Inspector Fleet. This is Mr.

31:02

Book and Mr. Dunn. A

31:04

pleasure, gentlemen. Mrs. Book

31:06

and Dunn are suppliers extraordinaire

31:09

of cadavers for anatomical

31:11

research. Really? Consenting departed

31:13

only naturally. Really? And

31:16

when I heard stowings of a

31:18

disinterring, I thought we need

31:20

a hand from people who aren't going to be

31:22

too spooked by the idea. So

31:25

I called up old Book and Dunn, reminded them

31:27

who I was, and wouldn't you know? Not only

31:30

did they agree to help, but they bet me

31:32

they can dig up this fellow's grave in 29

31:34

minutes flat. I thought, I'll

31:36

take that wager. I mean, how

31:39

would they even know? Do they speak, your friends?

31:43

Well, Mr. Book speaks for Mr. Dunn,

31:46

at least according to Mr. Book, and

31:49

I've never heard Mr. Dunn say anything to the contrary.

31:51

Or at all. And

31:54

Mr. Book speaks only when absolutely

31:56

necessary. Why? A

31:59

precaution apparently. Against what? Yes.

32:02

Against what, Mr. Book? Hmm. Presumably,

32:07

Mr. Book feels the answer is not

32:09

absolutely necessary. Dr. Bell, could I have

32:11

a word? Of

32:14

course, of course. There'll

32:16

be plenty of time for us all to chat before we

32:18

go digging in the churchyard. I assume

32:20

we'll wait until nightfall and steer clear of the village

32:22

until then? Yes. Splendid.

32:25

Splendid. Why is that splendid? Because I've

32:27

just the badges. Badges? Oh

32:30

yes. Mushroom

32:32

foraging, tent erecting, shorts

32:35

repairing, soup stirring. You're

32:37

not just looking at a stuffy old pathologist,

32:39

you know. You're looking

32:42

at a first-class kestrel. A

32:44

what? A wilderness lad. Oh, I've heard

32:46

of those. But that

32:48

must have been... Sorry. Decades

32:51

ago. You never stop being a

32:53

wilderness lad, Miss Entwistle. Now,

32:55

Mr. Book, Mr. Dunn, if you wouldn't mind helping

32:57

carry some of our provisions, we shall

32:59

find a clearing in the forest and make camp. Oh,

33:01

we could just wait on a log or something. We

33:04

don't need to create the whole thing. Oh, a

33:06

wilderness lad is worthy for

33:09

anything. With a stick

33:11

and a tarp, the woods are

33:13

his bed-womb. His pockets

33:15

are full, his heart

33:18

is strong. With a little folding

33:20

knife, he'll never... And

33:26

as they opened up the barn door

33:28

and walked inside, do

33:30

you know what they found there? The

33:32

fieldhand who died 50 years earlier. Old

33:35

Henry, exactly. And

33:37

they were so startled, they didn't

33:39

even notice his clothes were full

33:41

of straw, because, of course, he'd

33:43

been... The scarecrow in the field.

33:45

That's right! The scarecrow! The whole

33:47

time! And then he got

33:50

them. He got them,

33:52

yes. With a

33:54

lake. And they died. And

33:58

that was the story of the... Oh

34:00

henry. The murderous

34:02

scare. Septimus

34:06

Inspector far be it for me to pass

34:08

judgment of course, but I think you are

34:10

getting a bit much of the ghost story

34:12

away early on. Really early

34:15

on. The title, in

34:17

fact little we have work to do

34:19

tonight, Inspector I didn't want to frighten

34:21

you entirely out of your socks. Do

34:24

you have any stories? Mr. Brooke.

34:26

Mister. Them Mr. Book.

34:29

Does but they were little

34:31

details for my. Nose

34:34

and Smith the book. How are

34:36

you enjoying your marshmallow? You'll

34:39

see the need to of wax in

34:41

your pocket so. Nice. To

34:43

have a best. And you mister

34:45

done Our. Team: Dig him up. You

34:47

know your energy level better than I

34:49

or time is this. Time.

34:52

For one of us wilderness

34:54

lad Spooky still inspector. Have

34:57

you heard the tale of the

34:59

manor house of too many sizing?

35:01

next? didn't know. will give away

35:03

too. Much keep an eye on

35:06

the gardener. Some

35:08

of coming. Wow

35:11

if it isn't seats in an

35:13

attempt by with some friends must

35:15

me a Maddow inspector was heavy

35:18

to We agreed to survey the

35:20

camp side before entering to ensure

35:22

they were friend not foe I

35:24

didn't agree to that, you said.

35:26

Interesting idea baron. Oh.

35:29

Good. Lord you go

35:32

through tablet to. Add

35:34

you are such a fan!

35:37

I am so fan Since

35:39

evolving into you in the

35:41

middle of the woods I

35:43

am to be found were ever

35:45

there is adventure like good man

35:47

in flexible talked about This is

35:50

Baron de. Vries, they'll fellow well

35:52

met. I'm so. He means

35:54

had no. Cross we.

35:56

Didn't have much luck with the villages sewed up

35:58

to them and his. Colleagues here are going to

36:01

dig up and examine the man killed in the woods.

36:03

Killed by the black dog? No, but we

36:05

are talking about the same person. Even in

36:07

this dark forest, Inspector, you persist in your

36:10

disbelief in hidden things. Oh, I'm sorry, have

36:12

you found some evidence of the beast? Not

36:15

yet. I'm shocked to hear that, Baron. Would

36:17

it shock you, Inspector, to learn what we

36:19

have found? Well, I suppose it would depend

36:21

on whether it was just a stick or something. Cloth.

36:25

It is indeed cloth, covered

36:27

in blood. And the ground around

36:29

it, well, it has clearly

36:32

been the site of some terrible death.

36:34

Rough wool material, well-worn, definitely

36:36

workman's clothing. Belonging to a

36:38

young miller, perhaps. You have identified

36:40

the victim? Yes. Otis Heepee.

36:43

The village aldermen told us he was killed

36:45

by the beast in the woods. Did he

36:47

tell you where in the woods? He said

36:49

deep within, much further than they usually go.

36:51

Why? We found this barely inside at all.

36:54

You can still see the village from where this man

36:56

died. The aldermen lied to us. It's

36:59

scone. I knew he was hiding something.

37:01

Septimus, can you manage the exhumation alone?

37:04

Well, I'll hardly be alone, Inspector. I

37:06

have book and done. And

37:09

if they can dig as well as they

37:11

can just stare silently into the fire for

37:13

hours on end sharpening things. De Vries, Miss

37:15

Babbath's home? You keep chin-wagging with the locals,

37:17

Inspector. The Baron and I will continue

37:19

searching directly for whatever it is

37:22

that's out here. I concur

37:25

with Miss Babbath's home. But it's

37:27

night now and the forest is full of walls. We

37:30

can handle a few little puppies, can't

37:32

we, Baron? I certainly can. You, we

37:35

will find out. Lovely. You both enjoy your

37:37

acrimonious hunt for a dog that doesn't exist.

37:39

Clara? Let's get some answers. Right.

37:43

Bonne way, everyone. Follow me, Baron.

37:45

I am not following. Going the

37:47

same way, then, aren't you? We

37:49

are continuing the search pattern. We

37:51

already agreed. Oh, Baron. I

37:53

bet you say that's all the best-selling

37:56

adventuruses. Light, then. Just

37:59

we three again. Again, Mr. Brook

38:01

and Mr. Dunn? Now, it's

38:03

very late and there's not much light

38:05

coming from the village anymore, which

38:08

means I think this

38:10

friendship train is pulling

38:12

into Exhumation Station. Choo

38:14

choo! Why don't we make a

38:16

move over to the churchyard? Don't

38:19

forget your shovels. My

38:21

word. These have seen a lot of

38:23

action. What kind of keen

38:25

gardeners are we? There,

38:30

the village hall. It's all that's up inside with

38:32

torches. What the hell are they up to? I knew they

38:34

weren't to be trusted. I mean, compote on scones.

38:36

You said it was delicious. It was,

38:38

but on scones, fleet? Come on. Alright,

38:41

but don't mention what I said about the compote. What

38:46

is the meaning of you again?

38:48

What's going on here, alderman? What is all

38:50

this? Half the village gathered at night, torches

38:52

on the walls. You may

38:55

not understand. Try us. It

38:57

is bingo. Jelly deals for tea. It's

39:00

33. Oh, is it too late to buy in? Clara,

39:08

this round is nearly concluded, but there will

39:10

be another after pudding. Oh, what kind? Why

39:13

are you playing so late at night? It's

39:15

a bingoathon for charity. We've raised quite

39:17

a lot of money for the needy. Alright.

39:20

And the torches? You'll recall, Inspector, that

39:22

we do not partake of electricity in

39:24

this village. Right. Yes. Hmm.

39:28

You're not doing anything suspicious right now. But

39:31

you lied to us about where Otis Hee-Pee's body was found.

39:34

What? He didn't venture deep into the woods. He was

39:37

mauled right on the edge of it. Um...

39:39

Why would you lie about that? Start talking, alderman.

39:43

Very well. What I'm about to

39:45

say, I say for myself, and

39:48

not the people of this place. They

39:50

knew nothing. A few

39:52

weeks ago, I travelled to a nearby town for

39:54

a meeting with a government official, a

39:56

junior transport minister. The

39:59

meeting was to discuss the issue. us where the bishops

40:01

Bromley might be connected to the outside

40:03

world by means of a

40:05

voltaic omnibus route.

40:08

He buttered me up with fancy

40:10

words like Return on Investment and

40:12

Urban Mobility. There would be

40:15

a stop right outside the dome. Such

40:17

convenience! They're rolling out

40:19

new, lower-stepped models for easy hop

40:21

on and hop off. He

40:23

let me have a go on one. And we

40:25

glided through the streets together. Yes!

40:29

I, your ultimate, am fallen! I

40:32

gorged myself on the devil's

40:34

lightning. I danced a polka with

40:36

Beelzebub's ball and now we

40:38

rue! My lie was

40:40

born of shame, for it is my

40:43

wickedness, nay my wickedness, that summoned the

40:45

beast to the edge of the forest,

40:47

to take poor Otis Heapie and then

40:49

to venture forth into London to take

40:51

so many more. Detectives!

40:55

I accept my punishment gladly. Take

40:58

me away! Erm,

41:02

no, then I will exile myself into

41:04

the great forest. Either

41:06

the wolves will take me or I will make it all

41:08

the way through to the Northlands. Perhaps

41:11

even the legendary Shire of York,

41:13

songs of which my mother used to love

41:15

me to sleep. It's a real place!

41:17

You can get the train there! You

41:19

have a good heart, child. Alderman, did you

41:21

actually agree to the bus route? Of course not.

41:23

It came to my senses and I gave that

41:25

bus a little kick for good measure. Then

41:27

why are you seeing Otis' death as some kind

41:30

of divine punishment? Reverend, what does

41:32

the Bible say about Jesus in the desert

41:34

refusing the devil's temptations? Well,

41:36

that really, and

41:39

that it was jolly good that he did.

41:41

Exactly! Then what if this bus

41:43

route was a test to see if you'd succumbed

41:45

to temptation? But you didn't! You passed! You

41:48

were right. You were right! Oh,

41:51

what a relief! God

41:53

be brave! Mr.

42:00

Scooper, have you something you'd like to say?

42:03

I... I... Out

42:05

with it, Mrs. Cooper? Knew in

42:07

me, I brought the best here. The

42:10

day before Master E.P. died, I went

42:12

to run some errands in Tamworth and afterwards...

42:15

I rode the electric tram! Ooh!

42:18

I knew I shouldn't have, but it was

42:20

so shiny and so convenient. And

42:23

the seas had heated cushions! Ooh! Heated

42:26

cushions! Well, now

42:29

we know who did in fact summon the beast to

42:31

take poor Otis from us. No, Reverend.

42:35

I cannot in good conscience allow Miss Cooper

42:37

to stand alone, for I also

42:39

plugged myself into Satan's socket. You

42:41

wrote the tram? Did

42:43

you too press the button at all the starts just

42:46

to hear the siren song of

42:48

its electric chime? Ting-ting! Ting-ting! Miss

42:50

Cooper, get a hold of yourself! The

42:54

day before Otis's death, I went

42:56

into town to correspond with another church

42:58

via... telegram!

43:00

GASP! Reverend! No!

43:03

Indeed so. And, Inspector, you had

43:05

better arrest me now, for I've been

43:07

doing it ever since. I'm not arresting

43:09

you. That's not a crime. Reverend Percy,

43:12

how could you? I know, but

43:14

it's so quick, and the machine

43:16

goes clackety-clack, and you don't have

43:19

to lick stamps with that awful-tasting

43:21

glue. Why don't they flavour it?

43:24

Why don't they flavour it? Take me

43:26

away, Inspector. I'll not resist. I'm not

43:28

arresting anyone. None of these things are

43:30

crimes. Assuming, Miss Cooper, you paid for

43:32

your transfer. I did. With

43:35

money, I got out from an

43:37

automaton bank teller! Ooh! Well,

43:40

you had better arrest me too. Again,

43:42

Irene? I'm afraid so, Silas!

43:45

My own wife! I just wanted to see

43:47

the big city again. So the

43:49

very day of Otis' death, I caught

43:51

the 12-15 to London Central, and

43:53

it was thrilling. Oh, it's snowmobile

43:55

racing on a Thames glacier! Irene,

43:57

no! Tell me it's not true!

44:00

Now I go every Sunday afternoon

44:02

after church. I'm part of an

44:04

all-female glacier racing team called the

44:06

Snowgirls. We stand a chance of

44:08

winning the league. You said you were having an affair.

44:11

Oh, how I wish that were true. But

44:13

no, I am the reason the

44:16

beast came here. I am the reason that

44:18

Otis is dead. Queen Victoria's sort of

44:20

alive. It's looking number 55. No,

44:22

Irene Creek. It was I who summoned

44:25

the beast. I went onto

44:27

the underground and rode it around

44:29

and around and around until I

44:31

could ride no more. I went

44:33

to a spa where I took

44:35

in low-voltage relaxation treatment. The beast came

44:37

and killed Otis because of me.

44:39

No, I killed the boy when

44:41

I went to the voxel pleasure gardens and

44:44

rode a powered dirigible. We both

44:46

killed him because I went too

44:48

and we watched the mechanical birds singing. Oh,

44:50

how they sing. I saw Goody

44:53

Barsett speaking with the devil. No,

44:55

you didn't. We've been over this.

44:58

No, it's my fault. It's me. It's

45:00

me. It's me. It's me. It's

45:03

me. I was with all this pee pee the

45:05

night he died. And we went up

45:07

onto the vicar's roof to play a prank on

45:10

him. The notice fell off the edge and broke

45:12

his neck. And I thought I'd get in trouble.

45:14

So I dragged his body to the woods to

45:16

be eaten by wolves. That

45:23

one. It was

45:25

that one. We are all

45:27

equally guilty. No, no. Just

45:30

to be clear, is there

45:32

anyone here who hasn't been partaking

45:34

of the forbidden tower energy?

45:42

Right! I'm off to the pleasure coast.

45:45

I'm going to watch an automaton play the

45:47

Electric Mouth Piano. I'm going to play sticker

45:49

ball in the brightest gaming parlor they've got.

45:52

And if I see a bookie while I'm there, I've

45:54

got five pounds on whichever horse has the name closest

45:56

to Stump the Lot of You! Still,

46:07

not the worst bingo evening I've ever been

46:09

to. People get very competitive. At

46:11

least we have the answer to what happened to Otis Heepee

46:13

now. We should get the local constabulary to come and talk

46:15

to them and get it recorded properly, but it

46:18

does just sound like an accident. And

46:20

possibly illegally feeding the boundary forest wolves, but

46:22

I think that's just a fine. Oh,

46:25

no beast in Bishop's Bromley then. Unless

46:27

Gertrude or De Vries find something, or

46:29

Septimus's autopsy turns up something unusual. And

46:32

even then? There's no such thing as

46:34

beasts. You agree with me? I do. Shame,

46:37

though. It's a shame there's no monsters.

46:39

It's a shame the monster must be a person. Yes.

46:43

Still doesn't explain what the alderman said about a

46:45

watchman seeing something in the woods. People

46:47

see things, especially in places like

46:50

woods. I suppose. Well,

46:52

Bishop's Bromley might have cut itself off from

46:54

London, but it does have one thing the

46:56

city doesn't have. What's that? Up there.

47:00

Oh, yes. An enormous wire

47:02

dome. No, fleet. It has

47:04

the stars. Oh. Well,

47:07

you're right. They're quite nice.

47:10

There's Cassiopeia, you see? A sort

47:12

of W. Oh, yes. And

47:14

below that, there's Perseus and Taurus.

47:16

Taurus? That's my horus- You're

47:20

a Taurus! Maybe. Maybe

47:22

I'm lying. It's not my birthday, after

47:24

all. True. And below Taurus

47:26

says- Hmm. What?

47:30

Well, there's- no, it's too

47:32

low down. That sort of

47:34

star? It's a lamp! In the

47:36

forest! It could be Septimus.

47:38

No. He knows he's hiding. You saw

47:40

how he piled that earth around the

47:42

campfire and said something about his sneaky

47:44

spy boy badge. And Gertrude and

47:46

DeVries would never give themselves away like that. Who

47:49

else would be out there, then? Let's

47:51

find out. The

47:56

light's just up ahead. Right. Quietly, then.

48:00

Alright, quickly then. Stop,

48:04

stop, stop! Behind here. Stop crying.

48:06

He won't hurt you. It's

48:09

ghastly. Ghastly! Sir,

48:11

he doesn't mean no offence. I want to go

48:14

home. Shut up, Tommy! Sir,

48:16

we've done what you asked. We released Mrs

48:18

Wells' chickens. Two got eaten by foxes, but

48:20

she got back three. Were you

48:22

insane or something about that? You just said we had to

48:24

release them? Who are they talking to? I don't

48:27

know. I'll take a peek. What?

48:30

What is it? I don't know.

48:32

What do you mean you don't know? Good.

48:38

God! What's good about

48:40

some dead chickens? What's good about any

48:42

of that shit, Tommy? It is

48:44

good because it is

48:46

what we agreed. Clara,

48:49

what did you see? I

48:51

just broke his neck thanks to one of your agreements.

48:54

Him and Davey agreed to mess with the vicar, and

48:56

now he's dead! What's good about that?

48:59

Shut up, Tommy! Sorry,

49:01

sir. Thank you. Clara!

49:03

Oh, brambles. Brambles?

49:07

Swords? Branches? But

49:09

tall and manly. What? Let

49:12

me see. Oh,

49:14

my God. Sir, we've done

49:16

what you asked. If you please, your

49:19

side of the bargain. Silver!

49:23

Thank you, sir. Thank you. Sorry, sir. Thank you. Sorry.

49:26

Now. Joe!

49:31

Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha. I

49:36

think it's leaving. Let me just... Clara, wait.

49:39

Oops. Come

49:44

on, Fleet. Where are you going? After it. You

49:47

can't go running through the woods at night. It's all right, Fleet. I

49:49

have a bush knife. Where on earth did you get a bush knife?

49:51

From home. I

49:53

obviously meant before that. Ah,

49:57

bloody hell. This
