Where it happens
Most of this sequence takes place around Westminster: the Sinopean Club, 10 Downing Street, the Devil's Acre slum and the Palace of Westminster. Unbreaking the Bank returns Evie to the Bank of England in the City of London.
- 1Playing PoliticsPlaying Politics opens Sequence 7 at the Sinopean Club, where Jacob watches Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli argue with William Gladstone and looks for the mysterious B who is plotting Disraeli's death. A spy, a rooftop sniper and a chase follow.
- 2The BodyguardThe Bodyguard has Jacob slip into Benjamin and Mary Anne Disraeli's carriage outside 10 Downing Street just before hired thugs attack it. You fight off the ambush, chase the carriage when it is stolen and bring the couple back safely.
- 3Driving Mrs. DisraeliDriving Mrs. Disraeli is an escort memory with a comic streak: Jacob shakes off reporters, drives Mary Anne Disraeli and her dog Desmond into the Devil's Acre slum, and keeps her out of trouble long enough to learn who B is.
- 4Change of PlansChange of Plans sends Evie and Henry after the architectural plans that may show a vault Prince Albert added to Buckingham Palace. Maharajah Duleep Singh tells them Starrick's people got there first, and the job goes wrong when Henry is taken.
- 5Unbreaking the BankUnbreaking the Bank cleans up after Jacob's work in the Bank of England: counterfeiters stole the printing plates in the chaos, and Abberline asks Evie to burn their fake notes and sneak the plates back into the bank before trust in the pound collapses.
- 6
Motion to ImpeachMotion to Impeach is the assassination of the Earl of Cardigan inside the Palace of Westminster. Jacob steals a password, takes a policeman hostage to walk into Westminster Hall, and has an opposing MP lead him straight to Cardigan's office.
