The Frankenstein Chronicles: Ep6 on ITV Encore

Pictured:

In the drama’s opening sequences, the Home Secretary Sir Robert Peel, following a successful operation by Thames River Police to apprehend a gang of opium smugglers, recruits Marlott.

As he stands on the water’s edge contemplating the arrest of the smugglers, Marlott makes a shocking discovery. The body of a dead child is washed up on the shore and on further examination of the corpse he is horrified to discover it’s not actually a child but rather a crude assembly of body parts arranged in a grotesque parody of a human form. The mutilated child-like body leaves an indelible impression on Marlott and he finds himself unable to shake off the memory of what has happened that fateful night.

Marlott setzt die einzelnen Puzzleteile rund um den Transport der Leichen ins Krankenhaus zusammen. Neue Verdächtige tauchen auf und lassen seinen ohnehin zerrütteten Geist nicht zur Ruhe kommen. Er spürt, dass er der Lösung des Falles gefährlich nahe kommt. Mary Shelley steht kurz davor, England zu verlassen. Marlott drängt sie, ihr Wissen über galvanische Experimente öffentlich zu machen. Obwohl Marlott behauptet, dieser Albtraum sei ihrer Vorstellung entsprungen, will Shelley nichts mehr damit zu tun haben und flieht mit ihrem Sohn Percy ins Ausland.
