《喋血街头》(Ripper Street)S01E06《Tournament of Shadows》
1889年8月爆发的码头工人大罢工让伦敦陷入瘫痪,整座城市都被罢工者控制了。一个犹太无政府主义者在此过程中遭人谋杀,Reid和他的调查团队不得不卷入英国政府与「遥远帝国」及全球恐怖主义的战争。等待他们的,将是无情的诡计和谎言。
There’s a dockers’ strike in the East End and anarchists are stirring up trouble among the workers. What looks like a deadly Communist plot is revealed when a bomber is killed in an explosion sparked by his own dynamite. Or so it seems…
Upright detective Edmund Reid (Matthew Macfadyen) thinks everything looks just a bit too pat, but soon comes up against Special Branch, whose officers are even more unpleasant than the criminal scum Reid deals with on his patch.
Hot-headed ex-Pinkerton man Homer goes under cover as a strike-breaker in another densely plotted episode. But more importantly, we finally see Reid open up just a wee bit as we learn more of the loss that has struck at the heart of his marriage.
