The brutal ringmaster, Mr. Bytes, is keeping John Merrick in a Victorian freak show in London’s East End when Frederick Treves, a physician at the London Hospital, discovers him there. His “owner,” who sees him as intellectually disabled, is compensated by Treves to transport him to the hospital for evaluation. His head is kept covered. When Treves introduces Merrick to his coworkers, he emphasizes how his deformed skull compels him to sleep with his head on his knees because if he lay down, he would suffocate. Bytes beats Merrick so severely when he returns that he needs medical attention, so he calls Treves. Treves returns him to the medical facility. Hospital matron Mrs. Mothershead takes care of Merrick because the other caregivers are too afraid of him. Merrick cannot be housed at the hospital because it does not take “incurables,” according to Mr. Carr Gomm, the hospital’s governor. Treves teaches Merrick a few simple phrases and a passage from the 23rd Psalm to show that he can improve. Carr Gomm recognizes this trick, but Merrick starts reciting the entire Psalm as he turns to leave. Merrick claims to be literate and that the 23rd Psalm is his best, so he has memorized it. Merrick is allowed to remain, and while there, he works on his conversational skills with Treves and constructs a model of the church that he can see outside his window.
