Ripper Street

Reid is back in Whitechapel to investigate a case made by Jackson and Drake that condemned his old associate Isaac Bloom to the noose. And Bloom is not the only one set for the rope: Long Susan awaits her fate. But does Jackson have a plan to save her? Drake looks into the case of an Indian man found murdered, as the forces of Britain's empire descend upon London to celebrate the queen's Jubilee.

Drake continues to investigate the murder of a young Indian-born lawyer. However things get tricky for Drake when it becomes clear that his investigation is stepping on Special Branch's toes. Things aren't going smoothly for Jackson and Long Susan as their plan to save her has fallen through. Reid continues to dig into the conviction of his friend Isaac Bloom who is set to be executed.

It is Reid's first day back at H Division and, despite his anxiety, it is clear that his instinct is as sharp as ever. He is drawn to a woman who claims to have lost her child, but when it becomes clear that she is losing her wits he questions her testimony. Susan is discovered in the dangerous world of Abel Croker and Rose realizes that becoming a mother to another woman's child is not easy.

Drake and Reid are once more in harmony but it's now Jackson's turn to feel the pressure as a murder has links to a man who aided Susan's escape from prison. Can Jackson help Reid and Drake solve the case without the truth about Susan emerging? Meanwhile, Susan works to carve a place for herself at the docks. She begins to reveal more of her dark past to her villainous guardian, Abel Croker.

Just as it seems that Reid and Drake have found their working dynamic once more, they are forced to engage with a murder case that threatens to open old wounds. When the case connects to a young worker who was saved from the hangman's noose many years ago by Drake, fissures begin to emerge between Drake and Reid. Jackson, meanwhile, is coming under increasing pressure from Susan over their son.

When a young man close to Drake is discovered murdered, it worsens the rift between Reid and Drake, and threatens to throw H Division into turmoil. Drake faces pressure from another quarter: with his wife Rose convinced that the woman the world saw hang, Long Susan, still lives. Jackson and Susan, meanwhile, start organizing the customs house heist - that they hope will help them flee Whitechapel.

As a new serial killer plagues Whitechapel, Reid and Drake become convinced that his crimes are being covered up. They follow a trail of corruption that leads to Scotland Yard and to Assistant Commissioner Dove. As they prepare their case Dove discovers a secret from Reid and Drake's past. Jackson and Susan prepare for their escape but attempts to sell their stolen booty send them to Leman Street.
