The Doctor and the Devils Page #7

How'd you come by that?

That's a fortune. Where's Alice?

Let me go.

I won't say nothing, I swear it!

Come on now, come on, come on.

Come on, Jennie, eh? Come on.

It won't take a minute.

Just think of it, eh?

No more hunger, no more cold.

It's a blessing I'm giving ya.

How about a drink, Fallon?

You can't deny me a drink.

Have one, too, Fallon.

We can't go back to the rooms.

I'll get a horse and cart,

and we'll meet when it's dark.

Where's Jennie Bailey?

Hey you, where's Jennie Bailey?

- Where's Jennie?

- I don't know!

- She was in here last night with Fallon.

- They found the body in the sewer.

God damn that mad bastard Fallon.

Broom! Come here!

Now what have you done

with her, Broom?

Where is she?

- Let go of me.

You tell me, or I'll kill you!

I'll tear you apart, Broom!

- Get out of here!

- Where is she?

- Stop! Stop!

- I'll crush you!

Come back here, you scumbag!

Come here, Broom!

' MY eggs!

You swine!

Tell me where she is, or I'll choke you.

She's... she's in the cockpit.

That's enough now, Jennie.

We don't want St. Peter

to smell it on your breath, eh?

He might not let you in.

Come, Fallon.

Come lie beside me.

Oh, go on, Fallon, you want me.

You'll be warm with me, Fallon.

You and me, as long as you like.

No extra for taking off me clothes,

eh, Fallon? What do you say?

Now you make your peace with God.

That is, if God listens to whores.

- Help!

- Come here, you cow.

Now keep still, Fallon,

or I'll break your arm!

They've arrested

Fallon and Broom, sir.

Murder.

I think we're being supplied

with the victims of murder.

- Where's Bob Fallon?

- In hospital.

Hospital? What's the matter with him?

Blood poisoning, is it?

I wanna see the governor.

Tell him I got things to say to him.

The governor's not interested

in talking to the likes of you!

Wait, wait, wait. He might be

interested in a little bargain.

I'll tell him everything he wants to know

about Bob Fallon.

What is it they call it,

turning King's evidence, huh?

Thomas!

Thank heaven I found you.

Broom has tuned King's evidence.

- The King will be pleased.

Thomas, it's serious.

He accuses you of paying Fallon to murder.

Now, why should he say a thing like that?

Can you believe it?

Out of the mud of the darkness

come two ignorant animals,

and quite slowly they set about the task

of bringing my life and my work down,

down into the slime that bred them.

Hang Rock! Hang Rock!

Hang Rock!

Hang Rock! Hang him!

Hang Rock!

The heart, gentlemen, is a four-chambered

muscular bag...

Gentlemen!

Because the scum of the city howl

for my blood outside the window,

must you conduct yourselves in return

as though you were nurtured on pig swill?

Take your seats.

Pay no attention to the mob.

The mob can never win.

The Medical Faculty want you

to appear before them tomorrow.

Why?

I make no secret of the fact

that several members of this faculty

are in favor of having you struck off.

Some even advocate criminal proceedings.

The fact that we haven't already done so

is purely to protect the doctors

and surgeons of this city

whom you have brought into disrepute.

I cannot keep your hands clean,

gentlemen, when mine are dirty.

The practice of anatomy

is absolutely vital

to the progress of medicine,

and medicine is vital to

the progress of mankind,

and mankind is worth fighting for.

I take full responsibility for my actions.

Good day, gentlemen.

Gentlemen.

Guilty or not guilty, his part in this affair

must be kept in decent obscurity.

Of course, of course.

Dr. Rock will not be the subject

of criminal proceedings,

and he will not be called upon to give

evidence in the trial of Fallon and Broom.

I've spoken to the public prosecutor,

and he gives me his assurance on that.

Anyway, no court could punish him,

much as his own conscience will.

The only thing I regret

is what I've done to the...

the people I love the most.

Whatever happens, Thomas, I'll be with you.

"The Lord is my shepherd.

I shall not want.

In pastures of tender grass,

He causeth me to lie down..."

Will that Dr. Rock cut me open?

Look at me insides?

Not likely, Bob, not likely.

You'll be given

to the Medical Faculty by law.

You'll end up a university man.

Thy rod and thy staff,

they indeed comfort...

Will you stop that praying,

for Christ's sake?!

All that noise, huh?

Come on, Bob, swig your gin.

It's nearly time.

I believe in God, the Father Almighty...

I believe in God, the Father Almighty.

I don't believe in God.

I believe in the darkness,

in the black, black grey.

I believe in that

rotten lying bastard Broom.

Oh, God, no!

No, no! I don't wanna hang.

It's not me, it wasn't me.

It was these hands.

These hands, they're the murderers.

It wasn't me, not me.

- Come on, now, now, Robert.

Come on now. I want you to face your Lord

on this day and pray to him.

Oh, Lord...

Oh, Lord!

Oh, God, I don't want them to cut me up!

Help me, God!

God, save me, save me, save me.

I don't wanna die.

Please, Jesus, save me.

Oh, Lord, no, please,

I don't wanna die! No!

No!

Oh, my God, I can't see!

Help! I'm... I'm gonna suffocate.

I'll suffocate!

I believe in God the Father, Almighty.

Creator of Heaven.

Please take it off, take it off.

I can't breathe. I can't breathe.

Doesn't it bother you that you sold

your friend to the hangman?

Nothing bothers me.

Nothing in this world bothers me,

except me, Timothy Broom.

Stop the Rock!

Stop the Rock! Stop the Rock!

Stop the Rock!

- Up the alley and down the street,

Fallon and Broom shall burn their meat.

Fallon's a butcher and Broom's a thief,

and Rock's the boy

that buys the beef!

My name is a ghost to frightened children.

Did I set myself up as a god over death?

Did I set myself up over pity?

Oh, my God. I knew what I was doing.
