Another street girl, murdered

Same as on the stage
of the metropol theatre

A new Jack the ripper

A young lady of the street is
horribly murdered and mutilated

Thank you sir

Thank you

Young lady of the street,
brutally murdered and mutilated

A ripper loose in London

Don't you put your filthy hands on me!
- You belong to me, you'll do what I say!

I'll do nothing for you,
What have you ever done for me?

Everything..
- Keeping me here in this god forsaken hole

I tell you, I'll never walk
the streets for you again!

Mary... Mary...
Mary...

Police.. He's here!

Jack the ripper,
he's in the house!

Jack the ripper in the house..

Jack the ripper is dead.

He said he would kill 12 women,
and 12 women are dead.

The monster who has terrorised
all of London, is dead!

I'm sorry sir, excuse me.

Hello Morely
- Hello Richard

Excuse me for not shaking hands with you
- It's alright

The audience were pretty
restless out there tonight

It's because of those murders.

They think there's a new
Jack the ripper at work

Yes, that's why I've come here.

Ann sent me with a message for you

She wants you to meet her uncle Sir George.
He's a member of parliament

Yes, well?

He's got some pretty strong
ideas about censorship

According to him, your play
ought to be taken off right away

Yes, well I doubt wether I'd
be able to prevent him doing it

Perhaps you could though, Richard.

Anyway, Ann's very optimistic.

You know, she was very impressed
when she met you.

As an actor, I impressed her
- That too of course.

Well since she met you,
she never stops talking about you.

So come on, you'll do her a favour.

Come in...

Good evening..

I got him in a good mood,
he's willing to see you.

That's wonderful!
- Hello Morely

My uncle is about to make a fool of himself

He's quite determined
he's going to introduce a bill

on theatrical censorship
in parliament tomorrow

And if it goes through,

your play will be one of the first,
to be taken off.

It's parliaments responsibility
to protect the younger generation,

and plays like Jack the ripper,
must, at all times, be positively forbidden

Are you prepared to
brave the lion in his den?

I'm prepared..

Jack the ripper's in the library!

Whats got into you?
He's just an actor you silly girl

I've seen him as Jack the ripper,
and he's scary

It's a horrible scary play too,
and since I saw it

I daren't turn my lights out anymore..
- What a stupid girl you are

If they ring, I'm not going in there
What has got into you?

I'm really scared of him!

Hello uncle, are you busy?
- No..

What is it?

Morely's brought a friend along with him,
and he'd like to have you meet him

Good evening Sir George
- Good evening Morely

And this is Mr Richard Sand

Good evening Mr Sand
- Good evening Sir

Remember Uncle, Mr Sand
played Hamlet at the Shakespeare festival

Now you're playing, Jack the ripper
- Yes..

I thought you might like to meet Mr Sand,

because I know you're planning
on talking about the play in parliament

You've not seen the play,
as I understand Sir,

It would be a pleasure
to arrange tickets for you

My obligations and my work, leave me
very little time for theatre going

I'm afraid I must decline your
invitation, though I'd like to thank you

The play is quite authentic,

and all historical facts have been
faithfully reconstructed

Mr Sand, you must know,
last nights murder bares a,

striking likeness to those
you are acting in the theatre

Yes, I do...

Acting the part of a psychopathic murderer
could be a real challange for an actor,

I can well understand that, However,
my mind is quite made up on this matter

I assure you, there's
nothing personal in this Mr Sand

I'm glad to have met you

Morely..
- Yes?

Why is Ann so very eager to take on
this young man as her protoget?

He's an old, and very close friend of mine

I introduced them to each other

And believe me Sir George, Richard Sand
is a wonderful fellow, and a good actor

But he's appearing in a
most dangerous play

The meeting with your uncle
was short lived, wasn't it?

I think his behaviour was
completely outrageous

Well, I shouldn't
have come here at all

Please Ann..

I hate leaving you here
alone with Morely

It's you I love Richard,
You.. not him

Why didn't Richard wait for me?

Uncle's behaviour offended him,
I'm afraid

I'll call in the morning

Goodnight Morely
- Goodnight Ann

What's wrong?

I'll see you tomorrow
- Yes, tomorrow

Why on earth were you
so unfriendly to Mr sand?

Unfriendly? I simply
told him what I thought

I'd rather not have him here again

I'd like you to remember that in future

I want to see him very much,
and I intend to see him often

I don't like the man..
- Oh uncle, you've only just met him

With certain people,
just once is quite enough

Goodnight
- Goodnight

No, not here..
Come with me

Why are you waiting?

Here I am...

What do you want?

She died approximately 4 hours ago

She was stabbed several times,
then sadisticly mutilated

Mutilated?
- Yes

Quite literally slashed from top to bottom
with a sharp instrumant,

a razor or something like that,
and mutilated

In the early hours of last Monday morning,

the horribly maimed body of a
prostitute, was discovered in a park

near Osbourne Street

The victim had been stabbed and then
mutilated in a truly horrifing manor

The methods used by the killer
are almost identical to Jack the ripper's

presented every evening in
London's most talked about play

It would almost appear that these
very scenes of terrifing realism,

which are performed nightly
in the theatre, are, in point of fact,

taking place in the streets of London

The investigation of these murders,
is now in the able hands

of Detective inspector Dorner
- Give it to me..

Coffee or tea?
- Coffee..

Murder in the theatre,
murder in the streets...

That sounds like excellent publicity,
the blood flows, and the money pours in

That's enough, just get me my coffee!

If you knew what I was thinking,
you'd be pretty surprised

Good morning Richard
- G'morning..

Have you seen the papers?
Well, what do you think?

I think it might just make your role
more exciting, give it more zip

new inspiration..
- Why?

Well Richard, you must know...

your acting hasn't been up to
scratch lately - I hadn't noticed it!

This is not a thing you
can judge for yourself..

But I, as your director, can..

It's quite normal for you
to become a bit dull

Don't forget, we're in the sixth month
- Go on..

The part lacks realism now

You see, in your first 100 performances,
you came across as brutal

And now?

Now, you're not scaring anyone
- I haven't changed a thing

Every movement, every gesture,
is the same as when we rehearsed them

The same as they were on opening night

No they're not, you've become slick
- Too rehearsed?

Yes, you're altogether
too reheased, too routine

Do you think he's right?
- If I may be allowed an opinion? yes

There you are..

Can't you see what's happening?

It wont make the
slightest difference how, I play it

These murders...
- Will turn out to be fabulous publicity

And so, I want to see you
back in your old form

The brutal killer

Doctor..
- Yes?

Inspector Dorner wants to speak to you
- Right, I'm coming

Now tell me, did you
know the murdered girl?

Isn't that why you got me
down here in the first place?

Or was there something else
you wanted me for?

But not here..

No, that'll be enough of this nonsense,
just answer my questions

Did you know the murdered girl?

Lizzie, Lizzie was a collegue of mine,

you could call her a friend

Elizabeth Straight,
we all used to call her Lizzie

She was nice, quite modest,
a very hard working girl

Yes yes, I know all
about that kind of work

Inspector..

I'm speaking for one thousand
four hundred and forty six young girls,

who most of the time
are all occupied...

I mean,

they're maintaining close relations,

with some of our city's,
most prominent gentlemen

And while I'm at it,
may I ask what you're doing

to stop all of us from getting
slaughtered one by one?

There are only 2 of you so far..

What! only 2 of us!

Don't you think 2 is quite enough?

1, alright, that could be a mistake,
just one of those things,

But 2?
No 2 is a bit too much of a good thing

And let me tell you, we've got
a living to make, us girls

Before we know where we are,
its going to be too risky

for us to go out onto
the streets after dark

And what gentleman is going to
cough up danger money

for the additional risks involved?

Oh yes, thank you,
I wont be needing you any more

If that's the way it is, I've got
to be getting along myself

Well if you've got nothing
better to do at night Inspector,

here's my telephone number,
Hampstead 3407

Come along
- Get your hands off me!

Here's the pathologists report
- Good

The death wound was inflicted with a
large sharp edged knife like instrument

Just as in the first murder

Severely bruised neck,
permits us to assume

the victim was strangled
before being mutilated

Strangled with both hands,
and then with one hand only, his right

while with his left,
he carried out his beastly operation

With his left hand?
- Yes

Are you quite sure doctor?
- Absolutely

Left handed..

Like the original Jack the ripper
- Exactly

In the play, I see the murderer
is also left handed

According to the papers

Yes, I'm a very close friend
of Richard Sand who plays the part

He asked me if I would help him out during
rehearsals, as a sort of technical adviser

That's why he plays him left handed

And what exactly do you
feel about this whole affair?

I mean, with the eagerness
of the press to find,

some connection between
the play and the murders?

It's a rather strange coincidence,
no more than that

How much do we need to get
your fur coats out of hock?

11 pounds

I need to get the car fixed too
How long since we paid the rent?

3 months

That makes 274

Even when we're all paid up, there’ll be
enough left over for us to get hitched

Well what do you think of that Betty, ?

Oh Teddykins, I keep on saying it,
don't talk about getting married

It makes me get miserable
for weeks on end

I'm only telling you,
we'll have enough left over

What from?

From the 300 pounds reward we'll make
from getting Jack the ripper, read it!

Jack the ripper!
- Yes!

Oh, not me Teddy I felt so bad
in that theatre I nearly...

I'm fed up with this office,
I want to live dangerously from now on,

we'll show Scotland Yard
how to cop a lady-killer

I, Teddy Flynn, You wait and see

We'll have a big sign on the front door,
not here where no-one can see it

Right there on the street,
and that sign's going to say

Teddy Flynn, Master Detective

Oh please Teddykins, you don't really
want me to help you do you? I'm scared

I'm going to be right behind you,

and if any of these criminals
get tough with you,

I'll show them a thing or two,
Don't you worry about that

As soon as he's finished,
I'll tell Mr Sand you're here

Thank you

It's wonderful to see you again, Anne

Excuse me a second while I change

Right, anything new?

I've written to Morely to tell him
- Tell him what?

That it's over..

Do you really mean that?
Yes...

We were practically brought up together,

Uncle brought me here to London
when my mother took ill and died

He was already taking care of Morely

Morely's father, and Uncle,
were great friends

Pass me that hat over there will you?

Morely's father was a
senior government official

This one?
- No, the black one

Then a strange thing happened,
it was very odd,

for quite suddenly and mysteriously,
vanished completely

Thank you

So Uncle took his friends
son away from the orphanage,

And paid for his schooling,
and we were brought up together

And then, you came along

And from that moment on I was sure,
it was you I loved

But your uncle probably hoped that
Morely and you would eventually marry

Oh no, Uncle himself
has never been married,

as a result he's never had any children

I doubt whether the thought of our marriage
has ever even crossed his mind

Will you wait for me?

Oh no, I’m afraid I can’t,
I have to get back home

Well naturally I get scared,
well who wouldn't I'd like to know?

So your murder is quite
different from the other eleven?

Oh yes, Mr Maylor is always
finding new ways to do it

For example I get flung
right across the theatre

I'm black and blue all over after an
evenings work here, in the theatre

So are you scared when you
see him coming with the knife?

Oh yes, especially now we've
got these terrible real murders

I can see how you mean
- Just one more please

And tell me exactly how you feel
when Mr Sand gets you by the throat?

Sometimes I think, when both his hands
are tight around my throat,

just a bit more Mr Sand,
and soon I'd be as dead as a doornail

And Mr Sand?

Oh he's wonderful,
such a lovely man

Act 4 now please Miss Nichols
- Thank you

I'm afraid you'll have to excuse me now
- Come on then

Thank you Miss Nichols, for the interview

Over there..

You mean the one who was
peeping through the door?

Suspicious
- Very suspicious,

I bet you we're going to find the
murderer here, in this theatre

Come on...

Get me my scarf...

I shall come back as soon as I can

Careful now,
please don't touch the lights

If Anne should ask,

you may tell her I'm in
night session in parliament

Yes Sir

Excuse me please miss

Hey, what are you up to?

Goodnight Miss Nichols

That's the third one..

Yes, it's the actress, Evelyn Nichols

Yes, and the murder
was done exactly the same way,

as its done every night in that play

Strangled, and then mutilated...

The way that fellow Sand, plays the part,
The famous Richard Sand,

that's what you're trying to say is it?

No, I meant nothing of the kind!

But that's how it looks, doesn't it...?

The paper says they're
increasing the reward

And to think, I saw the killer
right under the stage

I could have prevented that murder

Oh my poor Teddy, all you managed to do,
was to act like a real dope

A real fool...
I haven't ever felt so ashamed..

If you had seen yourself...

Don't go thinking they'll ever
let you in that place, again

Call yourself a detective...

You can laugh, I bet you
wouldn't know what to do

if you found yourself up on that stage
with a thousand eyes staring at you..

Oh, don't kid yourself, I'd certainly know,

and what's more, I'll prove it to you
- I'm the one that does the planning

Well this time, I've got a plan
- Congratulations

I've got one too, we're getting out of here

I'm fed up spending all our time and money
going to see this rotten show

Wrong!
We're going right ahead with it

But you're the one who was always scared,
and said it was too dangerous

But that was before my plan,
now I've changed my mind

What's on your mind?
- Just wait, you'll soon see

Emily..
- Yes?

Have you any idea where my uncle
went to yesterday evening?

I wanted to talk to him especially,
but he wasn't there

Sir George told me,
if you wanted him for anything,

he would be in late night session
in parliament

Yes, you must forgive me Anne, the session
lasted 'till well after midnight my dear

It was a tiring session

Come and have breakfast Anne
- Yes, I'm coming

Any news?
- No...

Evelyn said she had a date
after the show

She didn't say who it was with

Have you any idea why,
she might have been killed?

No...
Perhaps they wanted her jewellery?

Nothing seems to have been stolen

Did she have a boyfriend?

I mean, could jealousy been the motive?

What's this then?

I want you to tell me all you know

Well you see,
Evelyn knew an awful lot of men

I don't think she was ever really
a professional actress

She was a...
- I see, she was a...

Well you don't need to
come right out with it!

No no, of course..
Well thank you, you can run along now

Just when was it exactly, Horrlick?

6 years ago...

I got sent up for 3 years
- Yes...

They said it was man-slaughter,

but it was an accident
- Ah yes, I remember

Come on, sit down over here

You stabbed a man to death,
your partner.. that's it isn't it?

An accident..
- Yes yes

Later on they decided to give me,
the benefit of the doubt

They took a year off my sentence

And you're working here now, are you?
- Yes, stage manager and chief prop man

And you keep the knife that's used,
under your supervision?

Yes, that's my job
As a matter of fact, I made it myself

Nasty looking thing..
- Yes, but it has to look pretty realistic

You also look after Mr Sand?
- That's right...

You live in his house?
- Yes Sir

Perhaps you can tell me, what
time he came home last night?

Mr Sand..

Last night...

Came home..

Like always, right after the performance

What's going on over there?

We're trying out other girl's for the lead

To replace Miss Nichols
Poor girl...

Morning Inspector, Oh, excuse me

Now.. let's see what we've got here..

Come on, let's have the coat's off

Is it true you're testing for the role
that was played by the girl who was killed?

Yes...

No, I dont want to have
anything to do with that part

Why not, what's wrong?
- No no..

Please sir, I'd like to try that part,
I'm not scared of it

Inspector Dorne...

I'd like to ask you 1 or 2 questions,
if you don’t mind Mr Sand

Very well...

Good morning..

When did you get the news of
Miss Nichols death Mr Sand?

Mr Maylowe phoned me this morning

And then I saw it in the papers

Where?
- Where?

Yes, where?

Please, take a seat
- Thank you

I was still in bed,
when my valet brought the paper

And what time did you get home last night?

Late..
- Ah yes..

So I take it you didn't go
straight home after the show

No..
- And where did you go?

First to my club,
and then to a restaurant

Where was that?
- At marble Arch

Oh yes...
And that's where you had dinner?

Yes, that's where I had dinner

And then?

Well I stopped for a drink in a bar,
and then I walked back home

Ah, how long did this walk of yours take?

About an hour, perhaps longer

Yes...

What exactly,
is your opinion of these murders?

This is the third one now
that's happened,

all of the done exactly
the way you do them

each evening on the stage,
in this theatre

I've decided to stop playing the role,
I can't go on with it

Ahh, Mr Maylor..
- Yes?

Mr Maylor..

Mr Sand has just told me,
he’s decided to give up this part

Oh but Richard, you have a contract..

And we've found you a new partner
- Thank you

If you quit now,
the show will be ruined..

Think about it, don’t be hasty...

You seem to think Mr Sand,

it would be better if the play
were dropped altogether

Well the alternative is to get
someone else to play the part

That's out of the question!
It's impossible

That’s all, thank you
Just one moment Mr Maylor

I'd like to have a word with the author
of the play, a Mr Anatole Le'Strade

Is it French?
- It's a pseudonym

Very well, and is he paid his royalties?
- Yes...

And how?
- By bank draught

But, you know him?
- Anatole Le'Strade?

I told you, that’s only a pen name

Your own pen name, Right?

Yes indeed..

You wrote the play, you directed it,

and naturally you cash in on the
recipes at the box office

And these murders have turned out
to be excellent advertising for you

I wont tolerate these insinuations

What is it?

This came in the mail this morning
- Thank you

This makes the third of the victims
I have pledged myself to kill,

I have fulfilled my task,
I shall commit suicide,

Jack the ripper

Good afternoon...

Would you mind waiting in there Sir?
- Thank you

Hello Richard
- Good afternoon Anne

How are you?
- Fine

This invitation of your uncle,
asking me to come and see him

It was quite a surprise,
I really thought he was...

Mr Sand...

I'm very glad you were able to come

Our interview will be quite short

Anne, run along now please,
and leave us alone

Oh please Uncle, let me stay, wont you?

If you must...

Though your friend Mr Sand,

might prefer not, to discuss personal
matters in your presence

I have nothing to hide from Anne
- Good...

Thank you

When my sister died, I brought
my niece Anne to live with me

Anne was still a child,

and I have loved and cared for her,
as if she were my own daughter

And I will go on loving her
and protecting her

That’s very noble of you Sir

I'm perfectly well aware of
Anne's feelings for you

As far as your own intentions and feelings
towards my niece are concerned..

I neither know them,
nor do I wish to know them

I would like you to know them,
all the same Sir

I love her
- And I love him

Please keep quite...

Mr Sand...

I've been informed,
you were once in a sanatorium

A drying out clinic for drug addicts
Is that correct?

Yes, that is correct

It was at a time of a
real professional crisis for me

No engagements, no work at all,

except small walk on parts
in review theatre

it was nerve racking...

And this role you're now playing,
isn't that nerve racking?

Yes, it is...

However...

Since circumstances have changed,
I don't feel so hopeless

Let us hope so,
for your sake, Mr Sand

All the same...

I would like your word,
that after today,

you will not try to see
my niece anymore

I'd much rather you didn't ask me
to make such a promise

I wouldn't be able to keep it

Thank you Richard

Then I have nothing further
to say to either one of you

It'll be alright

What's wrong?
- Nothing

Please trust in me, Anne...

Richard..

Sir George has just told me he doesn't
want me to see Anne anymore

And you, have you come to say
our friendship's over too?

No Richard...

We've been friend's for a long time,
and this thing with Anne

will not make that change

George has found out that I was once
under treatment for taking drugs

How did he find out,
that's what bothers me

It was me..
- But why?

He wanted to go through
the police records

As a member of parliament, he has
access to the files whenever he wants,

so he would have found out
about that cure of yours

Richard... I would like you to know,

that our friendship will never change,
no matter what happens

Horrlick, get me a drink..

I'm sorry about this making up,
but the show starts soon,

and I haven't much time

And you don't mind about,
Anne and me?

I mean, I'd much rather feel
that we can remain friends,

like we've always been, the 3 of us

Of course you're our friend,
It goes without saying

The curtain goes up in 3 minutes

Excuse me..

Do you often take these?
- What?

Oh yes, I have too,

I'd never get through the
performance without them

They're really very strong,
I'll prescribe you something else

Don't you dare lay a finger on me
- You're mine and you'll do as I wish

No no, I'll do nothing for you

What have you ever done for me anyway?

You load yourself into
this godforsaken hole

Oh leave me alone...
Stinker!

Stop!
Don't do it!

What happened?

The performance was over early tonight

Why?
- Someone took ill

Who was it?
- Mr Sand

Did he drive home, do you know?

He just ran out, his car is still there
- Thank you

It wasn't a stage prop..

It was the real thing..

If he hadn't seen it..

Just as he was going to stab the girl..

Well...

there would have been
a real murder this time

But where on earth could the
knife have come from?

Obviously, it was planted there..

Each night, I make it a point,

to check the knife
and the other props, carefully

That'll be him now..

Mr Sand's house..

What is it?

Yes, we're coming

It seems he had an accident..

Oxygen, adrenaline I.V

It's me, Morely

Just relax...
Take a deep breath

Well.. do you feel a little bit better?

I've given you an injection,

you're going to be alright..

Doctor..
- No, not now..

It's important, Inspector Dorne

Yes hello

Yes..
Where?

Right, I'm coming over

It's another murder,
keep him under observation

If his breathing gets difficult,
or his pulse weakens..

You can give him a second injection

Where am I, where am I?

How is he?
- Everything's alright

Well Mr Sand, how do you feel?
A little shaky I suppose?

How do you feel Richard?
- Thank you, I'm fine

Horrlick will take me home in a while
- Please lie still Richard

Mr Sand I'm sorry to say,
I've something disagreeable to tell you

Inspector!

Jack the ripper
killed another woman tonight

His fourth victim..

Once again, a street girl..
And she too was mutilated

Here.. here
- Inspector you can't do this

I certainly can

I'm sure you'll want to
see the woman wont you?

Mr Sand is sick..

That's alright, I want to see her

Why did you insist
I should see this woman?

I did not insist on it, I simply
asked if you would like to see her,

and you told me that you would

And what would you
have done if I'd refused?

Listen, these questions,
your entire attitude,

makes it obvious you believe I played
the same role both on, and off the stage

That's quite a statement
- Richard...

What is it they want?

This gentleman's from the police..

And seems to think that
I'm Jack the ripper

Morely, can't you do something?

Inspector, you must be more lenient,
this man is suffering from...

And a young woman
has been brutally murdered!

If I remember correctly Mr Sand

You said you wanted to give up your part

I felt sure you knew,
the dangers it would involve

I can't understand why you
persisted in going on with this role,

in spite of everything you knew

I wanted to stop playing it,

because it was making me both
physically and mentally exhausted

However, if you believe my reasons
are due to a guilty conscience,

or to any other ulterior motive

My reaction on going on with the part
would be quite different, I assure you

And I shall play the same part,
time after time,

nobody will stop me

As for you’ you’ll go on discovering
more and more murders,

all of the committed by Jack the ripper,

night after night, you’re the failure,
you, not me

Richard!
- Please calm yourself Richard

We will get the murderer,
there’s no need to worry about that

You will not continue playing this part

The police will see to that
We're closing down the theatre

after tonight's unfortunate little episode

Perhaps that's the best way..

Can I leave now?

No, you better stay here, I'm going

I’ll expect a report on the autopsy doctor,

Goodbye
- Goodbye Inspector

What happened?

I've no idea, but I walked,
then I think I fainted

I sat down,
and suddenly felt very tired

I don't sleep very well

And I've started having
those dreams again

What.. what sort of dreams?

It's always the same
nightmare pursues me,

even when I'm awake

Every evening on the stage,
I murder a woman

In my dreams,
I see the murdered girls again

But they lie quite still, they don't get up

when the curtain comes down,

they lie there quite still,

one beside the other,

like the woman they
carried in on the stretcher

I wasn't sure she was dead,
I thought she was part of my dream

That's why I had to look at her

I'll take you back home,
you must have a good rest

Goodnight Morely
- Thank you

Goodbye doctor

The murder victim is a 28 year old
prostitute, Anne Crawler

she’d been convicted once for theft,

and a couple of times for
attempted blackmail

So you know all about it do you?
Congratulations

But it seems that in the meanwhile,

this scrap of paper has
escaped your attention

This was murder number 4,

number 5 I shall cut off an ear,
and send it to police headquarters

And it's signed,
Jack the ripper...

Send both these items to the
press agencies, right away

The whole world must know,
what kind of a monster this is,

and the kind of sinister games
he's attempting to play

And that way,
we’ll manage to track him down

Get that note in the paper,
if anyone recognises that handwriting

they are to notify us, immediately!

Look at this, dont you see the likeness?

The N in nothing,
and the N in number,

It could be the same handwriting

I know my uncle has been lying to me,
but why should he hide?

And why does he leave the house
so mysteriously at night?

And you think that Sir George Edwards,
member of parliament

is the terror of Whitechapel?
It's ridiculous, its absurd

Richard, this is all so terrible

Because he's always out on the very
nights, when the murders take place

Is that true?
- Yes..

And then the handwriting's
so much alike...

Don't imagine things Anne..
Please..

What’s this piece of paper?

It's the address and
phone number of Mr Sand

Did he write it himself?
Yes, we had to have it for our records

Thank you..

There was another murder, last night
- And where were we?

In Bed..
- That was pretty silly

I didn't think so

I've got an idea!
- No please, not another one..

You just listen!

I was a great success in the theatre,
even better than you

And you remember how I very
nearly got myself killed?

Yes, and a fat lot of good
that would have done

Listen Teddy, it’s a marvellous idea!
- I will not!

The theatre's been closed down now

So that means we'll have to shift
our activities into the streets

What for?
- Don't you know what the ripper's doing?

Of course I know what he's doing,
he murders girls

No!
- What does he do?

It's street girls he murders..

I'd like to see a street girl,
who isn't a girl

Yes, in such matters, you consider
yourself an expert I suppose?

Betty...

Now, cant you guess
what I'm thinking of?

No I cant, I don't want to
- I'll tell you what it is anyway

We must use some bait
to get the killer

I pretend I'm a streetwalker,
like the others

And you
- And me?

And you'll be my friend, my protector
- You want me to play your protector?

Never!

How much do they think
we're going to swallow?

The play being censored,

they close down our theatre!

And you, you can't mean to leave me
in the lurch like this?

Have you made a complaint?
- A very strong one..

But they treat me exactly like a criminal

Every move I make,
I find a detective following me

In Shakespeare’s plays,
people were murdered in droves

And I never heard of anyone
causing him any trouble

Here's my protest, and the suit
for damages I intend to file

You want me to sign them?
- Yes of course

Our play could run for years

Especially after this last murder,
it came just in time

We couldn't hope to get better publicity

Thank you

And all of this has to end just because
a few stupid people object to it?

No, I wont accept it

No Maylor, I'm not signing it
You're forgetting something

They swapped my prop for a real knife

It was done out of spite, to get
the police to close the theatre

It was done, so that I would really kill
someone on that stage last night

What happened to him,
was meant to happen to me!

Why should anyone want that?
- I don't know

But if I'd not had a kind of premonition,
that poor girl would have been dead!

I'm thankful I don't have
to play the part anymore

Listen, I’ll make you
another proposition

We'll pull up our stakes here,
and get straight out of London

We'll take the whole production to
The Theatre du Grand Guignol, in Paris

And there you can play
the role, refreshed

Maylor I must tell you this now,

I’ll never play this role in my life again

What's all this?

She's going..
- Why?

I tried to stop her,

but since she read about Jack the ripper
in the newspapers, she’s terrified

I wont stay here in London,
one more minute

I'm going back to Maidstone

You're forgetting that you
signed a contract

I don't care,

I can't stay here any longer,
not in this awful place

She dreams about him,
this actor fellow, Sand

She saw here the other day Sir,
she’s frightened of him

Are you quite sure?

I can't stay in this horrible place,

he’s not going to cut my ear off..

There's nothing to be done,

I’ll soon get a maid with a bit more sense
than you’ve ever had

Alright, go on back to your home

Call up the agency right away,
have them send over a new housemaid

Very well, Sir George

How did this picture of
Sir George Edwards get here?

We took the photograph while
he was watching the performance,

the same as all the others

And the handwriting?

One of several,
that've been mailed into us

Our handwriting experts
are still examining it

Is there something
you'd like to say doctor?

What do you mean by that?

Maybe something on your mind,
Perhaps about your friend, Richard Sand

You are not only his friend,
you're also a member of the police

And as such, it’s your duty to do
everything in your power,

to apprehend the perpetrator,
and solve the crime

I'm not aware that I've ever failed
in my official duty..

I believe you destroyed a piece of paper

with your friend's handwriting on it
Why?

Because it seemed to me,
completely unimportant

To us, everything is of the
utmost importance

How did this get here?

Since we printed threat, we've had a lot
of these sent into us anonymously

Sand is our number 1 suspect,

and yet you decide to throw this,
into the wastepaper basket

Goodnight Doctor Greely,

let's have a bit more co-operation
from you in the future

Friendship is a wonderful thing,
it doesn't conflict with the truth,

or with the law..

Goodnight..

This corner is no good for business,
take my word for it

Perhaps not for you,
but it suits me fine

Good evening..

Good luck
- I'll manage..

It's Jack the ripper!

Leave him alone..
Don't you touch him..

Help me,
I’ve got him, I’ve got him..

Jack the ripper, the ripper..

What's going on here?

This man, he attacked this lady here

What's it to do with you,
what I do with her?

Yes, what you do with me,
that’s a good one..

Do you know him?

Yes I know him, the brute, he crazy,
he wont leave me alone

But I've got a boyfriend,
whose a member of parliament..

Thank goodness you've come, Sir George

He escaped once more,

they found him next morning,
and brought him back here

George!
Listen to me,

You must get me out of here!

There are important laws
that have to be drafted

Oblige me, to save humanity,

From the pest, that ravishes generation
after generation, forever and ever

You're my friend..
George, you’re my only friend

You must let me out!

Anne!

You mustn't leave without me..

What are you doing here?
- Parliament is waiting for me!

Open the door
Anne! open this door!

Anne! Open it!

Will you open up this door!

I don't know how she got in here..

Come.. come
Who is that man?

Come along home child
- Who is that man in the cell?

An unhappy friend of mine..

I'll tell you all about it,
when we're out of here

And the sins of the father

shall be visited upon the children,

until the seventh generation,
so sayeth the lord of life

Oh..
You'd better lock the door..

Will you be quite down there!

Leaving your children crying
all night like that

It's disgraceful!

Do you see anything?

I can't see a thing,
it’s too dark in the apartment

He's put the lights on now..

Horrlick..
Suspicious, most suspicious

Hurry up and get up!

Look out, someone’s coming!

Now it's my turn
- Hurry up!

Careful!

He looks mad
- Why?

Someone drank his whisky..

I’m sick and tired, of hanging
around this place

Think of hunters, how they have to wait,
before they get their first shot

Here he comes again!

What are you doing now?
- I've torn my trousers

You can get a 1000 pairs of trousers
when we get the reward

I don't need a 1000 pairs, I need 1...
- Come on!

Hello..

Do you mind repeating that?

Who's speaking?
Hello... hello

Jack the ripper's on his way to
17 Paley Street, right now!

Who was it Sir?
- He gave no name

Sound the alarm
Alert the flying squad

Alert the flying squad!
- Get hold of Doctor Greely

Yes I know Paley Street,
but why should I come?

Who's expecting me there?

Of course not,
why should I be afraid?

Who's speaking, who is this?
Hello... hello

Shut up!
Shut up will you..

17 Paley Street, Jack the ripper's there!

Come on, we’ll get him!
It's Jack the ripper!

Hey Teddykins, wait for me!

Hands up!
Put your hands up!

She's dead
- Turn around, in the name of the law!

Someone phoned,
and told me to come here

You're Jack the ripper,
I’m putting you under arrest!

Look!

Teddy.. Teddy!

Teddykins...

No not me, it’s him up there!

No, that’s not the man..
He's up there.. there's the murderer!

There he is, I see him!
We've got him now!

Get back there, all of you!

Are you badly hurt?
Take those off

A doctor!
He needs a doctor!

Morely!
You must help Richard

They think he's the murderer,
he’s been hurt!

Where is he?
- He's up there!

I want my mother,
I want my mother..

He.. he murdered her dead
Hush, hush darling

I'll get your mother, ok?

Morely, I didn't do it!

You must tell them,
I didn't do it!

In exactly the same way,

Mutilated,
just like the others..

Morely, you can't possibly
think I'm capable of murder!

Don't move!

The little girl saw the murderer!

You saw the man, did you?

Come on, tell us all about it

He went to the room with Miss Capstick,

he made her all dead

And did you see his face?

His hat fell off

Is it this man?

No...

Come over here..

Is the man who made Miss Capstick all dead,
in the room with us now?

Come on..

Is it this man?

Is it this man?

Is it this man?

This man, he’s the one!

Are you quite sure?

He went to Miss Capstick's bedroom,

and he made her all dead...

Well doctor Greely,
what do you say to that?

Tell them all to stay out of here!

Let Anne go!

Tell them to stay out!
Inspector, don’t come in

Mr Sand, what’s going on?

Leave us alone!

It's better like this..

Richard..
- Yes Morely?

You took Anne away from me

I took nothing away from you
- You did!

And that's why I...

Morely's father, was a very
senior government official

When he was still a young man,
he was infected by a prostitute

And he fell gravely ill, then mentally ill,
to the point of incurable madness

All this time I looked after him,
he’s still alive, though barely existing

Morely knew about this fearful disease,
which has destroyed his father,

and ruined his own childhood

He began to be obsessed by hate,

for all these women,
so he killed them..

He had inherited some
of his father's mental problems

He could no longer help himself

And he tried to incriminate Mr Sand

Who acted these same murders,
on the stage every evening

He did that, so he could go on
committing them himself

As his dreaded and terrifying fate,
compelled him to...

Jack the ripper..

Killer commits suicide

Jack the ripper number 2

commits suicide while under arrest

The monster of London city, is dead

There you are Sir..
Thank you..
