Albert Pierrepoint (played by Timothy Spall), Britain's most famous executioner. He is calm, unsmiling, and extremely committed to his professional ethics, renowned as "the world's most efficient and humane executioner." This profession requires secrecy of identity, absolute composure, and precise calculation. His decisiveness and speed have earned him a record of completing executions in 7.5 seconds. However, this secretive identity became public due to his execution of Nazis. Pierrepoint never confuses his profession with his personal life and rarely considers the brutality of his work. Until one day in 1950, he personally "sent off" his friend James Corbitt (played by Eddie Marsan), which led him to near mental collapse. This became a turning point in Pierrepoint's career, and in 1955, he wrote a letter resigning from his job as an executioner, ending a 22-year profession that saw the execution of 608 death row inmates.
