MMM.
JACK,
YOU ARE BACK.
I ALWAYS COME BACK,

ARE YOU DREAMING
OF GOING TO THE MOON?
WHAT WOULD BE THE POINT?
ONCE I GOT THERE
I'D STILL BE ME, WOULDN'T I?
NO, I'M DREAMING
OF A WOMAN NOW.
MY DEAR,
WOULD YOU CARE
TO TAKE
THE GENTLEMAN UPSTAIRS?
OH, NO,
THAT WON'T BE NECESSARY.
THANK YOU.
JUST AS YOU PLEASE.

YOU ARE ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE
THE AWE AND MYSTERY
WHICH REACHES FROM
THE DEEPEST INNER MIND
TO
--THE OUTER LIMITS.
EVEN IN THE DARKEST CORNERS
OF DESPAIR, THERE ARE GLIMMERS
OF A LIGHT WE CALL TRUTH.
BUT WHAT IF IT IS A LIGHT
TO WHICH THE REST OF THE WORLD
IS BLIND?
HEY, LANGFORD,
WHO'S THE REDHEAD?
DID SHE SEE
THE RIPPER?
EVERYTHING WILL BE REVEALED
IN DUE TIME, GENTLEMEN.
IN DUE TIME.
( officer )
INSPECTOR.
MISS ANNIE CHAPMAN.
SHE WITNESSED THE MAN RUNNING
FROM THE SCENE.
I'M INSPECTOR HAROLD LANGFORD,
WHITECHAPEL POLICE.
WHAT DID THIS MAN LOOK LIKE?
HE WAS A GENTLEMAN
IN EVENING CLOTHES.
HANDSOME, ABOUT YOUR HEIGHT,
WITH LIGHT HAIR.
CAN YOU TELL ME ANYTHING ELSE
ABOUT HIM?
ANYTHING SPECIFIC?
HE HAD A CANE
WITH A HORSE'S HEAD.
IF I WERE YOU I'D THINK ABOUT
STAYING HOME AT NIGHT.
INSPECTOR,
ARE YOU GOING TO CATCH HIM?
YES, MADAM,
I'M GOING TO CATCH HIM.
EXCUSE ME,
GENTLEMEN.
( butler )
MASTER YORK WILL BE DOWN
SHORTLY, MY LADY.
THANK YOU, WORTHINGTON.
LOOK AT YOU.
HAVE YOU EATEN
TODAY?
DID YOU EAT
YESTERDAY?
MORNING.
WERE YOU AT THAT PLACE
AGAIN LAST NIGHT?
OH, PLEASE, ELLEN,
DON'T FUSS.
WHY DO YOU
DO THIS TO ME?
I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.
THAT PLACE IS
NOT SAFE.
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
HAVEN'T YOU HEARD?
WHAT?
HE STRUCK AGAIN LAST NIGHT,
THE RIPPER,
IN WHITECHAPEL.
JACK...
JACK, YOU MUST SWEAR THAT YOU'LL
NEVER GO BACK THERE AGAIN.
OH, ELLEN, PLEASE.
YOU KNOW THE EFFECTS
OF OPIUM AND ABSINTHE.
YOUR PRECIOUS MR. OSCAR WILDE IS
DEVOTED TO ABSINTHE.
AS FOR OPIUM, OR LAUDANUM,
AS I PREFER, I ONLY WISH IT MADE
ME WRITE AS WELL AS COLERIDGE.
DON'T YOU WANT
TO GET MARRIED THEN?
OF COURSE I DO.
YOU KNOW I DO.
I'M SORRY.
NO, NO, NO.
NOT UNTIL AFTER
WE'RE MARRIED,
REMEMBER?
YOU MEAN, NOT UNTIL
I'VE RECOVERED FROM MY DISGRACE.
I DIDN'T SAY THAT.
YOU WANT ME TO STOP WALLOWING
AROUND AND RETURN TO PRACTICE.
WELL, I DON'T WANT TO.
WHY NOT?
BECAUSE IT'S QUACKERY.
NO, IT'S NOT.
YOU ARE AND
YOU ALWAYS HAVE BEEN
AN EXCELLENT
PHYSICIAN.
DO YOU KNOW WHERE
MODERN MEDICINE IS TODAY?
WELL, I'LL TELL YOU.
90% OF WHAT
YOUR SO-CALLED DOCTOR PRESCRIBES
IS NO BETTER THAN SUGAR WATER.
NO, IT IS.
WE'RE WORSE OFF
THAN WITCH DOCTORS
WITH THEIR ROOTS AND HERBS.
TO THINK OTHERWISE IS
PURE ARROGANCE.
BELIEVE ME, I KNOW.
THEN BE A SURGEON.
THAT'S NOT WITCHCRAFT.
THAT'S REAL WORK.
YOU'VE STUDIED THAT.
I DON'T CARE
IF IT'S LESS PRESTIGE.
I'LL KILL MY PATIENTS
WITH INFECTION
BEFORE THEIR DISEASE
KILLS THEM.
NO, THANK YOU.
THEN YOU DON'T WANT
TO GET MARRIED.
ELLEN, DARLING,
YOUR MOTHER WOULD RATHER
YOU MARRY A FISHMONGER
THAN A SURGEON.
AT LEAST THEY STINK
HONESTLY.
EVEN IF I DID RETURN
TO HARLEY STREET,
DO YOU REALLY THINK
SHE'D LET YOU MARRY ME?
HMM?
SHE HATES ME.
THEN WHY DON'T YOU
PROVE HER WRONG?
THEN WE CAN
GET MARRIED.
HMM?
AND DO EVERYTHING.
I CAN HARDLY WAIT.
PROMISE ME
YOU'LL EAT SOMETHING.
EXCUSE ME, LADIES.
I'M LOOKING FOR
A REDHEADED WOMAN,
ABOUT THIS TALL,
PRETTY, ROUNDISH FACE.
WEARING A LONG
BLUE DRESS
AND A BROWN
TARTAN JACKET.
HAVE YOU SEEN HER?
I'VE GOT EVERYTHING
SHE'S GOT, LOVE,
ONLY BETTER.
YES,
I'M SURE YOU HAVE.
GOOD DAY, MADAM.
( boy )
...THE COLOUR
OF HER HAIR
AND BLOOD!
READ ALL ABOUT IT.
SCENE OF THE CRIME,
RIGHT HERE!
RIPPER RIPS AGAIN!
THIRD VICTIM FOUND!
RED -- THE COLOUR
OF HER HAIR AND BLOOD!
RIPPER KILLS TWICE
IN TWO DAYS!
RIPPER RIPS AGAIN!
SECOND BODY FOUND TODAY!
RED -- THE COLOUR
OF HER HAIR AND BLOOD!
READ ALL ABOUT IT!
RIPPER RIPS AGAIN!
GO HOME, JACK.
TO WHAT?
YOU CAN'T DREAM AWAY YOUR PAST.
YOU MADE
A MISTAKE ONCE.
YES.
A FATAL ONE.
A LITTLE GIRL DIED
BECAUSE OF ME.
WE ALL FAIL SOMETIMES.
WE ARE ALL HUMAN.
ARE WE?
IS THE MAN
WHO DOES THIS HUMAN?
THE RIPPER.
THE RIPPER KILLED
HER?
ANNIE CHAPMAN?
WASN'T SHE HERE LAST NIGHT?
WAS SHE?
DO YOU KNOW WHY I DO THIS
TO MYSELF?
BECAUSE I HATE MYSELF.
I HATE BEING WEAK.
THEN CHANGE.
I CAN'T.
THEN GIVE IN TO IT.
THAT'S WHAT I INTEND TO DO.
LIZZIE.
I'VE MISSED YOU,
JACK.
I THOUGHT
YOU'D GROWN TIRED OF ME.
OH, NO, NO.
I'VE MISSED YOU TOO.
I'VE BEEN LOOKING
FOR YOU ALL DAY.
YOU MUST FORGIVE ME.
IT'S JUST THAT SOMETIMES
I FORGET, YOU KNOW?
I PROMISE YOU, JACK,
AFTER TONIGHT
YOU'LL NEVER
FORGET ME.
OH, BUT YOU'RE
A NAUGHTY ONE.
GOOD GOD!
( glass breaking )
WHAT...WHAT ARE YOU?
( deep metallic voice )
I'M OLD, JACK.
I'M OLDER THAN YOU,
OLDER THAN LONDON.
I'VE BEEN AROUND
A LONG, LONG TIME.
BUT I'M AFRAID YOUR FUTURE
ISN'T QUITE SO ROSY.
DON'T YOU COME
ANY BLOODY CLOSER.
JACK?
SHE'S THE RIPPER!
SHE'S THE RIPPER!
SHE'S THE ONE MURDERING
THE WOMEN!
LET ME GO!
IT APPEARS
MR. YORK IS LATE AGAIN.
YES, MAMAN.
I RECEIVED A LETTER
FROM MY COUSIN CHARLOTTE.
SHE WROTE ME FROM VIENNA.
SHE WENT THERE
TO SEE A DOCTOR
FOR HYSTERIA,
THOUGH I DON'T THINK
SHE'S HYSTERICAL AT ALL.
IT IS A SIGN
OF THE UTMOST DISRESPECT.
I AM SURE JACK MEANS
NO DISRESPECT, MAMAN.
I AM SURE HE DOES.
HIS NAME IS
DOCTOR FREUD.
I BELIEVE
HE'S GERMAN OR AUSTRIAN.
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
HE HAS WASTED HIS FORTUNE,
AND NOW HE SEEMS INTENT
ON WASTING WHATEVER GOODWILL
OTHERS MAY ONCE HAVE
HAD TOWARDS HIM.
OH, NOW I RECALL.
JACK TOLD US YESTERDAY
THAT HE HAD A MEETING
WITH HIS SOLICITOR TODAY.
THAT'S WHY HE'S LATE.
I BELIEVE
IT MAY BE ABOUT MONEY.
YOU ARE A TRUE FRIEND
OF ELLEN'S, SOPHIE,
BUT DON'T LIE FOR HER.
IT IS BAD MANNERS.
OR AT LEAST
LEARN TO LIE BETTER.
I'LL TRY, LADY JULIA.
MAMAN, I AM SURE JACK MEANS
NO DISRESPECT.
IT'S JUST THAT EVER SINCE...
HE'S JUST BEEN DIFFERENT.
I AM NOT THE COMPLETE WITCH,
MY DEAR.
I KNOW HIS LIFE
HAS BEEN VISITED
BY TRAGEDY,
WITH REPERCUSSIONS
IN THE HIGHEST CIRCLES.
BUT ONE SOLDIERS ON.
ONE DOESN'T WALLOW
IN IT.
ONE MAKES SOMETHING
OF ONESELF.
MM-HMM.
DABBLING IS FOR CHILDREN
AND CHILDREN CANNOT MARRY.
AND ANYONE FROM VIENNA IS
A QUACK.
YOUR COUSIN CHARLOTTE IS
A NINCOMPOOP,
AND SO ARE YOU.
NOW,
LET US ENJOY LUNCH.
JACK,
WHERE WERE YOU?
YOU MISSED LUNCH.
OH, I'M...
IT'S A SIGN
OF THE UTMOST
DISRESPECT.
I'M SORRY.
I HAVE SOMETHING
VERY IMPORTANT
I HAVE TO TELL YOU.
I...I HAVE TO GO AWAY
FOR A WHILE
AND I WANT YOU TO COME WITH ME.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
ANYWHERE YOU WANT, BUT WE HAVE
TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY,
ALL RIGHT?
WHAT'S GOT INTO YOU?
IS SOMETHING WRONG?
JACK, WHAT IS IT?
JACK...
( clearing throat )
EXCUSE ME, SIR.
YES, WHAT IS IT?
AN INSPECTOR LANGFORD
TO SEE YOU.
MR. YORK?
YES?
MR. JOHN YORK?
YES.
I ARREST YOU FOR THE MURDERS
OF MARTHA TABRAM,
POLLY NICHOLS, ANNIE CHAPMAN
AND ELIZABETH STRIDE.
WHAT?
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
I DIDN'T MURDER ANYONE.
THE RIPPER DID IT.
INDEED, YOU ARE THE RIPPER.
TAKE HIM AWAY.
NO,
DON'T BE A FOOL.
I'M NOT THE RIPPER.
I'M NOT THE RIPPER.
NO, YOU'RE MAKING
A MISTAKE.
SIR?
( Jack )
I'M NOT THE RIPPER.
( Ellen )
INSPECTOR LANGFORD,
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SEEING ME.
HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
MR. YORK IS NOT THE RIPPER.
I KNOW THIS BECAUSE...
BECAUSE?
THE EVENING THAT
ELIZABETH STRIDE WAS MURDERED
HE WAS WITH ME...
ALL NIGHT.
I SEE.
HAS MR. YORK TOLD YOU
THAT THE RIPPER IS ACTUALLY
SOME KIND OF CREATURE
THAT LEAPS FROM WOMAN TO WOMAN,
KILLING THEM,
THEN THE WOMEN SPEW GREEN BILE?
INSPECTOR,
THE REASON MR. YORK DID NOT
INFORM YOU OF OUR LIAISON IS
BECAUSE HE IS TOO MUCH
OF A GENTLEMAN.
I HAVE DISCUSSED
THE MATTER WITH MY MOTHER,
THE COUNTESS OF AVONRILL.
SHE WILL SPEAK
TO THE HOME SECRETARY --
A LONG-TIME FRIEND WHO WENT
TO SCHOOL WITH MY LATE FATHER.
HE WILL SPEAK
TO SIR CHARLES,
WHO WILL SPEAK
TO DEPUTY CHIEF
INSPECTOR SWANSON,
WHO WILL, I PRESUME,
SPEAK TO YOU.
NO DOUBT HE WILL.
I WISH I HAD SOMEONE
AS DEVOTED AS YOU,
LADY ELLEN.
I'M SURE YOU'LL FIND SOMEONE AS
WORTHY AS YOURSELF, INSPECTOR.
PERHAPS I SHALL.
PERHAPS I SHALL.
JACK!
ELLEN!
OH.
I KNOW
WHO THE RIPPER IS.
NO, LISTEN TO ME.
JACK, THERE IS
NO CREATURE.
YES, THERE IS,
AND I HAVE PROOF.
WHY DIDN'T YOU
TELL THEM?
BECAUSE I...
BECAUSE THERE WAS ALSO BLOOD
ON THE RAG, FROM THE WOMAN,
AS WELL AS THAT
OF THE CREATURE'S.
THAT WOULD HAVE
INCRIMINATED ME MORE.
NOW I KNOW IT'S NOT TRUE.
I DIDN'T KILL THEM.
YOU MUST BELIEVE ME.
I'M TELLING YOU THE TRUTH.
WERE YOU
DRINKING ABSINTHE
AGAIN LAST NIGHT?
NO.
ELLEN, WAIT.
I'M TELLING YOU.
WHAT?
IT WAS THE CREATURE,
ELLEN.
I CHASED AFTER IT,
BUT THEN I LOST IT.
ELLEN.
WHY DO YOU INSIST ON THIS?
WHY?
YOU ARE TEARING MY HEART OUT.
YOU ARE THROWING YOUR LIFE AWAY
ON ABSINTHE,
ON YOUR INVENTIONS.
IT'S NOT REAL, JACK.
THE CREATURE IS NOT REAL.
I AM NOT THROWING MY LIFE AWAY.
I'M TRYING TO GET IT BACK.
DON'T YOU SEE?
YOU AND THIS THING ARE
ALL THAT'S REAL
IN MY LIFE.
IF I CAN PROVE THIS CREATURE IS
THE RIPPER,
IT WILL END MY DISGRACE.
THAT IS WHY
I HAVE TO PURSUE IT.
I HAVE TO SEIZE THIS OPPORTUNITY
TO REDEEM MYSELF.
SURELY YOU CAN
UNDERSTAND THAT.
GOODBYE, JACK.
FROM THE NEWSPAPER FILE, SIR.
THANK YOU.
DO YOU BELIEVE TRAGEDY CAN
DRIVE A MAN MAD, ALBERT?
( Albert )
I SUPPOSE SO, SIR.
LADY ELLEN,
I NEED
TO SPEAK WITH YOU.
( Ellen )
I BEG YOUR PARDON.
IT'S ABOUT THE RIPPER,
AND MR. YORK.
ON YOUR WAY, MISS.
IT'S ALL RIGHT,
WICKET.
WON'T YOU COME IN?
THANK YOU, MY LADY.
YES.
JACK.
ELLEN!
LOOK, I'VE FOUND A WAY
TO DETECT THE CREATURE.
I'VE COME TO A DECISION, JACK.
REALLY?
WHAT DECISION IS THAT?
YOU WERE RIGHT.
I WAS?
THERE ARE
NO GUARANTEES IN LIFE.
WHO KNOWS WHEN IT WILL END?
THE ONE THING
THAT MATTERS IS YOU...
AND ME.
WE MUST SEIZE
OUR OPPORTUNITY.
YES.
OH, GOD.
I THOUGHT YOU'D GONE FOR GOOD,
THAT YOU'D GONE TO FORGET ME.
I PROMISE YOU, AFTER TONIGHT,
YOU'LL NEVER FORGET ABOUT ME.
NO!
STAY WHERE YOU ARE!
I DON'T WANT TO HARM YOU.
STAY WHERE YOU ARE.
HAVE YOU GONE MAD?
GET BACK!
I'VE GOT A DETECTOR,
SEE?
I KNOW IT'S YOU.
JACK, IT'S ME -- ELLEN.
IT'S NOT THE CREATURE.
EVEN THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF BILE
GLOWS...
RED.
IT'S COMING FROM YOUR HANDBAG.
JACK...
WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?
I GOT IT--
WHERE DID YOU
GET IT?!
I GOT IT FROM
A STRANGE WOMAN
WHO WANTED
TO TELL ME SOMETHING
ABOUT YOU.
ME?
SHE WAS VERY ODD,
SO THE BUTLER
STAYED WITH ME.
AND THEN, AFTER SHE LEFT,
I FOUND THAT HANDKERCHIEF.
AND I REMEMBERED
INSPECTOR LANGFORD SAID
YOU THOUGHT THE CREATURE
SPIT OUT A GREEN BILE.
YOU SPOKE TO THE CREATURE?
DID IT SAY ANYTHING?
NOT REALLY.
THINK, THINK!
AFTER A FEW MOMENTS SHE LEFT,
AND SHE FORGOT
HER HANDKERCHIEF -- THAT'S ALL.
I THOUGHT I'D LOST YOU.
LISTEN,
NOW, THERE'S NO QUESTION OF IT.
YOU HAVE TO GO...FAR AWAY, YES.
NO, I'M NOT
GOING ANYWHERE.
I WANT TO STAY
AND HELP YOU.
IT'S NOT SAFE.
JUST DO AS YOU'RE TOLD.
NO, FOR ONCE YOU'VE
GOT TO LET ME IN.
YOU ARE MY ANGEL.
WE'RE GOING TO SEE THIS THROUGH
TOGETHER.
TO THE END.
TO THE VERY END.
MAY I BE FRANK,
INSPECTOR?
I WOULDN'T WISH IT
ANY OTHER WAY,
LADY AVONRILL.
I CAN SEE THAT
YOU'RE A GENTLEMAN
OF SENSITIVITY
AND INTELLIGENCE,
SO I KNOW THAT I MAY
RELY ON YOUR DISCRETION.
IF I MAY BE BRIEF, MY DAUGHTER,
LADY ELLEN, IS BUT 23,
WITH ALL THE WEAKNESSES,
IGNORANCES AND PASSIONS THAT
THAT ENCOMPASSES.
SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN
A HEADSTRONG GIRL.
I BELIEVE YOU SPOKE
OF BEING BRIEF, MA'AM.
YES, OF COURSE.
HOW KIND OF YOU TO REMIND ME.
THEN I SHALL GET TO MY POINT.
DO YOU BELIEVE
THAT MR. YORK IS THE RIPPER?
HE IS A SUSPECT.
HE IS THE RIPPER.
UNTIL WE DISCOVER--
HE
IS
--THE RIPPER.
THE MAN WHO CAPTURES
THE RIPPER WILL MOST CERTAINLY
RECEIVE A KNIGHTHOOD.
I GUARANTEE IT.
I SERVE ONLY THE TRUTH, MA'AM.
"HONESTY IS PRAISED
AND STARVES."
"NOBILITY IS
THE ONE AND ONLY VIRTUE."
I SEE YOU KNOW YOUR JUVENAL.
YOU HAVE HAD A BETTER EDUCATION
THAN I THOUGHT.
APPARENTLY SO.
THANK YOU FOR COMING.
I SHALL REMEMBER IT
ALWAYS, MA'AM.
I HOPE YOU SHALL,
AND WHO I AM.
( Jack )
ALL THE MURDERS HAVE TAKEN PLACE
WITHIN A MILE OF WHITECHAPEL.
HERE, HERE, HERE AND HERE.
WE'LL START AT ITS HEART
AND WORK OUR SEARCH OUTWARDS
IN A CIRCLE.
I WILL PHOTOGRAPH THE AREAS
WHERE I'VE SEEN THE CREATURE,
OR WHERE THE BODIES WERE FOUND.
I'VE MODIFIED
THE EMULSION SOMEWHAT
SO THEY'RE MORE SENSITIVE
TO FLUORESCENT LIGHT.
HOPEFULLY, WITH ANY LUCK,
WE CAN PICK UP ITS TRAIL.
AND IF WE DO?
THEN THAT'S
WHERE THE REAL ADVENTURE BEGINS.
THIS WILL DO, WORTHINGTON.
JUST ONE LAST TIME.
I WON'T BE LONG.
WHERE'S YOUR CANE NOW, JACK?
RIGHT HERE!
SURPRISE.
WHAT IN GOD'S NAME ARE YOU?
I'M A NIGHTMARE, JACK.
YOU'RE NOT EVEN OF THIS WORLD,
ARE YOU?
BRAVO.
WHY DON'T YOU GO BACK
TO YOUR OWN KIND?
WHY DO YOU THINK?
YOU CHOOSE TO BE HERE.
DID ROBINSON CRUSOE CHOOSE
HIS ISLAND?
YOU'RE STRANDED.
ENCORE.
ENCORE.
I MUST APPLAUD
YOUR PERSISTENCE, JACK.
NO ONE'S EVER COME
QUITE THIS CLOSE BEFORE.
IT GIVES ME A CERTAIN
--FRISSON
OF EXCITEMENT.
AND ARE THERE...
ARE THERE OTHERS?
OTHER RACES BESIDES YOUR OWN
OUT THERE?
BEYOND IMAGINING.
BUT WHY ME?
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO PICK ME?
YOU'RE THE PERFECT
LIGHTNING ROD.
THEY ALREADY HAVE
ENOUGH CLUES
TO SUSPECT YOU
OF THE MURDERS.
I'LL JUST KEEP
ENTERTAINING MYSELF
UNTIL THEY FINALLY HAVE
ENOUGH CLUES TO CONVICT YOU.
GOODBYE, JACK.
NO!
COME, JACK.
YOU DON'T WANT TO KILL ME.
WE'RE TOO MUCH ALIKE.
WE'RE BOTH OUTCASTS...
BY TEMPERAMENT AND BY CHOICE.
IT WOULD BE
LIKE KILLING YOURSELF.
YOU FORGET ONE THING --
I HATE MYSELF.
BY THE WAY,
DOES YOUR FIANCEE ALWAYS
KEEP THAT BUTLER AROUND?
BETTER LUCK
NEXT TIME.
HAVE FUN,
JACK...
THE RIPPER.
ELLEN, WAKE UP!
WHAT IS IT?
YOU HAVE TO LEAVE
AT ONCE.
GO TO AVONRILL,
AND DON'T COME BACK
UNTIL I CALL FOR YOU.
IT WAS HERE, I SPOKE TO IT.
IT'S INSIDE A WOMAN
IN A CREAM COLOURED DRESS.
WORTHINGTON,
TAKE LADY ELLEN HOME.
WE MUST GO SEE
INSPECTOR LANGFORD.
HE WOULDN'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT HE HAD.
ARROGANCE IS WHAT KILLED
THAT LITTLE GIRL.
DON'T ARGUE WITH ME!
DON'T YOU SEE?
I DON'T WANT YOU AROUND.
I DON'T WANT YOU.
YOU DON'T
MEAN THAT.
YES, I DO.
YOU WITH YOUR SILLY
CLOTHES FROM PARIS,
AND YOUR IDEAS
ABOUT HELPING ME.
IT'S LIKE HAVING
A CHILD IN TOW.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA
HOW REAL PEOPLE LIVE.
EVEN YOUR PASSIONS AREN'T REAL.
IT'S NOT ONE TENTH
OF WHAT A REAL WOMAN HAS.
YOU CAN'T EVEN KISS PROPERLY.
WORTHINGTON, TAKE ME HOME.
TAKE HER.
MAY GOD FORGIVE ME.
SHE WAS FOUND ABOUT
AN HOUR AGO, SIR.
JOHN...
CRECY VILLMORIN...
YORK.
JACK THE RIPPER.
I'D LIKE YOUR FULL REPORT
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
YES, SIR.
UH,
INSPECTOR LANGFORD,
I NEED TO SPEAK
TO YOU PRIVATELY.
SIR.
PLEASE, PROCEED.
I WAS NOT
WITH MR. YORK
ON THE EVENING
ELIZABETH STRIDE
WAS MURDERED.
I KNOW.
WE STILL DIDN'T HAVE
ENOUGH EVIDENCE.
NOW WE DO.
MR. YORK'S WATCH WAS FOUND
IN THE FIST
OF ANOTHER VICTIM.
TONIGHT?
JUDGING FROM THE BODY, YES.
LADY ELLEN?
TONIGHT WE WERE OUT.
WE WERE LOOKING
FOR THE CREATURE
AND WE BECAME SEPARATED.
HE SAID HE HAD SEEN IT,
THAT IT HAD
APPROACHED HIM.
LADY ELLEN,
MR. YORK IS
A SICK MAN,
AND A DANGEROUS ONE.
YES, HE'S SICK,
BUT NOT DANGEROUS.
HE WOULDN'T MURDER ANYONE.
HE NEEDS HELP.
THE RIPPER HAS MURDERED
FIVE WOMEN.
HE HAS CUT THEM OPEN
AND LEFT THEM BLEEDING.
HE'S A MONSTER.
BUT I SHARE YOUR VIEW.
NO SANE MAN COULD
PERFORM SUCH A DEED.
BUT AN INSANE MAN MUST
BE STOPPED.
YOU WON'T TRY TO KILL HIM?
NO.
YOU MUST TRUST ME,
LADY ELLEN.
WORTHINGTON?
WORTHINGTON?
WHY'D YOU COME BACK?
YOUR DETECTOR
AND YOUR EXPERIMENTS
ARE PRIMITIVE, BUT A BIT
TOO CLOSE TO THE BULL'S-EYE.
THE LAST THING I NEED IS
ANY PROOF THAT I'M AROUND.
DIE!
DIE!
DIE!
DIE!
DIE!
SEIZE HIM.
DIE!
DIE!
JACK!
NO, NO!
SHE'S THE ONE YOU WANT.
SHE'S THE RIPPER,
NOT ME.
SHE'S THE RIPPER!
SHE'S THE RIPPER,
NOT ME.
SHE'S THE ONE
YOU WANT.
I'M TELLING YOU.
SHE'S THE ONE YOU WANT.
SHE'S NOT EVEN HUMAN.
SHE'S THE RIPPER,
NOT ME.
SHE'S THE RIPPER!
OH, ELLEN, THANK GOD.
THANK GOD.
ELLEN.
HELLO, JACK.
YOU'VE COME TO...
YOU'VE COME TO GET ME OUT,
RIGHT?
NO, NO,
I CAN PROVE EVERYTHING.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS
FIX THE BOX CAMERA.
YES.
I'M GOING AWAY
FOR A WHILE, JACK.
WHAT?
NO, NO, YOU CAN'T.
YOU HAVE TO CONVINCE THEM.
IT'S STILL OUT THERE, ELLEN.
JACK,
I STILL CARE FOR YOU...
VERY DEEPLY.
BUT I CAN'T STAND THIS
ANY LONGER.
NO, NO, DON'T GO.
GOODBYE, JACK.
NO, NO, DON'T GO.
ELLEN, ELLEN, ELLEN, ELLEN!
OH, NO, DON'T GO.
NO, NO, NO.
OH, INSPECTOR LANGFORD.
INSPECTOR LANGFORD,
YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME.
THAT THING IS STILL OUT THERE.
I'M AFRAID THAT'S NOT
MY CONCERN ANYMORE, MR. YORK.
I'M RETIRING.
WHAT?
I'M GOING TO AMERICA
FOR MY HEALTH.
I SHALL ESCORT LADY ELLEN
WHILE SHE VISITS THERE.
IT'S THE LAND
OF OPPORTUNITY.
NO, NO, NO.
OH, NO.
DON'T WORRY.
SHE'LL HARDLY FEEL A THING.
NO, NO, NO!
( Control Voice )
THE UNIVERSE IS A LABYRINTH
SO VAST AND MYSTERIOUS
THAT THOSE WHO CHOOSE
TO PLUMB ITS DEPTHS
MAY WIND UP LOST FOREVER.
MMM.
JACK,
YOU ARE BACK.
I ALWAYS COME BACK,
DON'T I?

WELL, I DON'T WANT TO.
WHY NOT?
BECAUSE IT'S QUACKERY.
NO, IT'S NOT.
YOU ARE AND
YOU ALWAYS HAVE BEEN
AN EXCELLENT
PHYSICIAN.
DO YOU KNOW WHERE
MODERN MEDICINE IS TODAY?
WELL, I'LL TELL YOU.
90% OF WHAT
YOUR SO-CALLED DOCTOR PRESCRIBES
IS NO BETTER THAN SUGAR WATER.
NO, IT IS.
WE'RE WORSE OFF
THAN WITCH DOCTORS
WITH THEIR ROOTS AND HERBS.
TO THINK OTHERWISE IS
PURE ARROGANCE.
BELIEVE ME, I KNOW.
THEN BE A SURGEON.
THAT'S NOT WITCHCRAFT.
THAT'S REAL WORK.
YOU'VE STUDIED THAT.
I DON'T CARE
IF IT'S LESS PRESTIGE.
I'LL KILL MY PATIENTS
WITH INFECTION
BEFORE THEIR DISEASE
KILLS THEM.
NO, THANK YOU.
THEN YOU DON'T WANT
TO GET MARRIED.
ELLEN, DARLING,
YOUR MOTHER WOULD RATHER
YOU MARRY A FISHMONGER
THAN A SURGEON.
AT LEAST THEY STINK
HONESTLY.
EVEN IF I DID RETURN
TO HARLEY STREET,
DO YOU REALLY THINK
SHE'D LET YOU MARRY ME?
HMM?
SHE HATES ME.
THEN WHY DON'T YOU
PROVE HER WRONG?
THEN WE CAN
GET MARRIED.
HMM?
AND DO EVERYTHING.
I CAN HARDLY WAIT.
PROMISE ME
YOU'LL EAT SOMETHING.
EXCUSE ME, LADIES.
I'M LOOKING FOR
A REDHEADED WOMAN,
ABOUT THIS TALL,
PRETTY, ROUNDISH FACE.
WEARING A LONG
BLUE DRESS
AND A BROWN
TARTAN JACKET.
HAVE YOU SEEN HER?
I'VE GOT EVERYTHING
SHE'S GOT, LOVE,
ONLY BETTER.
YES,
I'M SURE YOU HAVE.
GOOD DAY, MADAM.
( boy )
...THE COLOUR
OF HER HAIR
AND BLOOD!
READ ALL ABOUT IT.
SCENE OF THE CRIME,
RIGHT HERE!
RIPPER RIPS AGAIN!
THIRD VICTIM FOUND!
RED -- THE COLOUR
OF HER HAIR AND BLOOD!
RIPPER KILLS TWICE
IN TWO DAYS!
RIPPER RIPS AGAIN!
SECOND BODY FOUND TODAY!
RED -- THE COLOUR
OF HER HAIR AND BLOOD!
READ ALL ABOUT IT!
RIPPER RIPS AGAIN!
GO HOME, JACK.
TO WHAT?
YOU CAN'T DREAM AWAY YOUR PAST.
YOU MADE
A MISTAKE ONCE.
YES.
A FATAL ONE.
A LITTLE GIRL DIED
BECAUSE OF ME.
WE ALL FAIL SOMETIMES.
WE ARE ALL HUMAN.
ARE WE?
IS THE MAN
WHO DOES THIS HUMAN?
THE RIPPER.
THE RIPPER KILLED
HER?
ANNIE CHAPMAN?
WASN'T SHE HERE LAST NIGHT?
WAS SHE?
DO YOU KNOW WHY I DO THIS
TO MYSELF?
BECAUSE I HATE MYSELF.
I HATE BEING WEAK.
THEN CHANGE.
I CAN'T.
THEN GIVE IN TO IT.
THAT'S WHAT I INTEND TO DO.
LIZZIE.
I'VE MISSED YOU,
JACK.
I THOUGHT
YOU'D GROWN TIRED OF ME.
OH, NO, NO.
I'VE MISSED YOU TOO.
I'VE BEEN LOOKING
FOR YOU ALL DAY.
YOU MUST FORGIVE ME.
IT'S JUST THAT SOMETIMES
I FORGET, YOU KNOW?
I PROMISE YOU, JACK,
AFTER TONIGHT
YOU'LL NEVER
FORGET ME.
OH, BUT YOU'RE
A NAUGHTY ONE.
GOOD GOD!
( glass breaking )
WHAT...WHAT ARE YOU?
( deep metallic voice )
I'M OLD, JACK.
I'M OLDER THAN YOU,
OLDER THAN LONDON.
I'VE BEEN AROUND
A LONG, LONG TIME.
BUT I'M AFRAID YOUR FUTURE
ISN'T QUITE SO ROSY.
DON'T YOU COME
ANY BLOODY CLOSER.
JACK?
SHE'S THE RIPPER!
SHE'S THE RIPPER!
SHE'S THE ONE MURDERING
THE WOMEN!
LET ME GO!
IT APPEARS
MR. YORK IS LATE AGAIN.
YES, MAMAN.
I RECEIVED A LETTER
FROM MY COUSIN CHARLOTTE.
SHE WROTE ME FROM VIENNA.
SHE WENT THERE
TO SEE A DOCTOR
FOR HYSTERIA,
THOUGH I DON'T THINK
SHE'S HYSTERICAL AT ALL.
IT IS A SIGN
OF THE UTMOST DISRESPECT.
I AM SURE JACK MEANS
NO DISRESPECT, MAMAN.
I AM SURE HE DOES.
HIS NAME IS
DOCTOR FREUD.
I BELIEVE
HE'S GERMAN OR AUSTRIAN.
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
HE HAS WASTED HIS FORTUNE,
AND NOW HE SEEMS INTENT
ON WASTING WHATEVER GOODWILL
OTHERS MAY ONCE HAVE
HAD TOWARDS HIM.
OH, NOW I RECALL.
JACK TOLD US YESTERDAY
THAT HE HAD A MEETING
WITH HIS SOLICITOR TODAY.
THAT'S WHY HE'S LATE.
I BELIEVE
IT MAY BE ABOUT MONEY.
YOU ARE A TRUE FRIEND
OF ELLEN'S, SOPHIE,
BUT DON'T LIE FOR HER.
IT IS BAD MANNERS.
OR AT LEAST
LEARN TO LIE BETTER.
I'LL TRY, LADY JULIA.
MAMAN, I AM SURE JACK MEANS
NO DISRESPECT.
IT'S JUST THAT EVER SINCE...
HE'S JUST BEEN DIFFERENT.
I AM NOT THE COMPLETE WITCH,
MY DEAR.
I KNOW HIS LIFE
HAS BEEN VISITED
BY TRAGEDY,
WITH REPERCUSSIONS
IN THE HIGHEST CIRCLES.
BUT ONE SOLDIERS ON.
ONE DOESN'T WALLOW
IN IT.
ONE MAKES SOMETHING
OF ONESELF.
MM-HMM.
DABBLING IS FOR CHILDREN
AND CHILDREN CANNOT MARRY.
AND ANYONE FROM VIENNA IS
A QUACK.
YOUR COUSIN CHARLOTTE IS
A NINCOMPOOP,
AND SO ARE YOU.
NOW,
LET US ENJOY LUNCH.
JACK,
WHERE WERE YOU?
YOU MISSED LUNCH.
OH, I'M...
IT'S A SIGN
OF THE UTMOST
DISRESPECT.
I'M SORRY.
I HAVE SOMETHING
VERY IMPORTANT
I HAVE TO TELL YOU.
I...I HAVE TO GO AWAY
FOR A WHILE
AND I WANT YOU TO COME WITH ME.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
ANYWHERE YOU WANT, BUT WE HAVE
TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY,
ALL RIGHT?
WHAT'S GOT INTO YOU?
IS SOMETHING WRONG?
JACK, WHAT IS IT?
JACK...
( clearing throat )
EXCUSE ME, SIR.
YES, WHAT IS IT?
AN INSPECTOR LANGFORD
TO SEE YOU.
MR. YORK?
YES?
MR. JOHN YORK?
YES.
I ARREST YOU FOR THE MURDERS
OF MARTHA TABRAM,
POLLY NICHOLS, ANNIE CHAPMAN
AND ELIZABETH STRIDE.
WHAT?
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
I DIDN'T MURDER ANYONE.
THE RIPPER DID IT.
INDEED, YOU ARE THE RIPPER.
TAKE HIM AWAY.
NO,
DON'T BE A FOOL.
I'M NOT THE RIPPER.
I'M NOT THE RIPPER.
NO, YOU'RE MAKING
A MISTAKE.
SIR?
( Jack )
I'M NOT THE RIPPER.
( Ellen )
INSPECTOR LANGFORD,
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SEEING ME.
HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
MR. YORK IS NOT THE RIPPER.
I KNOW THIS BECAUSE...
BECAUSE?
THE EVENING THAT
ELIZABETH STRIDE WAS MURDERED
HE WAS WITH ME...
ALL NIGHT.
I SEE.
HAS MR. YORK TOLD YOU
THAT THE RIPPER IS ACTUALLY
SOME KIND OF CREATURE
THAT LEAPS FROM WOMAN TO WOMAN,
KILLING THEM,
THEN THE WOMEN SPEW GREEN BILE?
INSPECTOR,
THE REASON MR. YORK DID NOT
INFORM YOU OF OUR LIAISON IS
BECAUSE HE IS TOO MUCH
OF A GENTLEMAN.
I HAVE DISCUSSED
THE MATTER WITH MY MOTHER,
THE COUNTESS OF AVONRILL.
SHE WILL SPEAK
TO THE HOME SECRETARY --
A LONG-TIME FRIEND WHO WENT
TO SCHOOL WITH MY LATE FATHER.
HE WILL SPEAK
TO SIR CHARLES,
WHO WILL SPEAK
TO DEPUTY CHIEF
INSPECTOR SWANSON,
WHO WILL, I PRESUME,
SPEAK TO YOU.
NO DOUBT HE WILL.
I WISH I HAD SOMEONE
AS DEVOTED AS YOU,
LADY ELLEN.
I'M SURE YOU'LL FIND SOMEONE AS
WORTHY AS YOURSELF, INSPECTOR.
PERHAPS I SHALL.
PERHAPS I SHALL.
JACK!
ELLEN!
OH.
I KNOW
WHO THE RIPPER IS.
NO, LISTEN TO ME.
JACK, THERE IS
NO CREATURE.
YES, THERE IS,
AND I HAVE PROOF.
WHY DIDN'T YOU
TELL THEM?
BECAUSE I...
BECAUSE THERE WAS ALSO BLOOD
ON THE RAG, FROM THE WOMAN,
AS WELL AS THAT
OF THE CREATURE'S.
THAT WOULD HAVE
INCRIMINATED ME MORE.
NOW I KNOW IT'S NOT TRUE.
I DIDN'T KILL THEM.
YOU MUST BELIEVE ME.
I'M TELLING YOU THE TRUTH.
WERE YOU
DRINKING ABSINTHE
AGAIN LAST NIGHT?
NO.
ELLEN, WAIT.
I'M TELLING YOU.
WHAT?
IT WAS THE CREATURE,
ELLEN.
I CHASED AFTER IT,
BUT THEN I LOST IT.
ELLEN.
WHY DO YOU INSIST ON THIS?
WHY?
YOU ARE TEARING MY HEART OUT.
YOU ARE THROWING YOUR LIFE AWAY
ON ABSINTHE,
ON YOUR INVENTIONS.
IT'S NOT REAL, JACK.
THE CREATURE IS NOT REAL.
I AM NOT THROWING MY LIFE AWAY.
I'M TRYING TO GET IT BACK.
DON'T YOU SEE?
YOU AND THIS THING ARE
ALL THAT'S REAL
IN MY LIFE.
IF I CAN PROVE THIS CREATURE IS
THE RIPPER,
IT WILL END MY DISGRACE.
THAT IS WHY
I HAVE TO PURSUE IT.
I HAVE TO SEIZE THIS OPPORTUNITY
TO REDEEM MYSELF.
SURELY YOU CAN
UNDERSTAND THAT.
GOODBYE, JACK.
FROM THE NEWSPAPER FILE, SIR.
THANK YOU.
DO YOU BELIEVE TRAGEDY CAN
DRIVE A MAN MAD, ALBERT?
( Albert )
I SUPPOSE SO, SIR.
LADY ELLEN,
I NEED
TO SPEAK WITH YOU.
( Ellen )
I BEG YOUR PARDON.
IT'S ABOUT THE RIPPER,
AND MR. YORK.
ON YOUR WAY, MISS.
IT'S ALL RIGHT,
WICKET.
WON'T YOU COME IN?
THANK YOU, MY LADY.
YES.
JACK.
ELLEN!
LOOK, I'VE FOUND A WAY
TO DETECT THE CREATURE.
I'VE COME TO A DECISION, JACK.
REALLY?
WHAT DECISION IS THAT?
YOU WERE RIGHT.
I WAS?
THERE ARE
NO GUARANTEES IN LIFE.
WHO KNOWS WHEN IT WILL END?
THE ONE THING
THAT MATTERS IS YOU...
AND ME.
WE MUST SEIZE
OUR OPPORTUNITY.
YES.
OH, GOD.
I THOUGHT YOU'D GONE FOR GOOD,
THAT YOU'D GONE TO FORGET ME.
I PROMISE YOU, AFTER TONIGHT,
YOU'LL NEVER FORGET ABOUT ME.
NO!
STAY WHERE YOU ARE!
I DON'T WANT TO HARM YOU.
STAY WHERE YOU ARE.
HAVE YOU GONE MAD?
GET BACK!
I'VE GOT A DETECTOR,
SEE?
I KNOW IT'S YOU.
JACK, IT'S ME -- ELLEN.
IT'S NOT THE CREATURE.
EVEN THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF BILE
GLOWS...
RED.
IT'S COMING FROM YOUR HANDBAG.
JACK...
WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?
I GOT IT--
WHERE DID YOU
GET IT?!
I GOT IT FROM
A STRANGE WOMAN
WHO WANTED
TO TELL ME SOMETHING
ABOUT YOU.
ME?
SHE WAS VERY ODD,
SO THE BUTLER
STAYED WITH ME.
AND THEN, AFTER SHE LEFT,
I FOUND THAT HANDKERCHIEF.
AND I REMEMBERED
INSPECTOR LANGFORD SAID
YOU THOUGHT THE CREATURE
SPIT OUT A GREEN BILE.
YOU SPOKE TO THE CREATURE?
DID IT SAY ANYTHING?
NOT REALLY.
THINK, THINK!
AFTER A FEW MOMENTS SHE LEFT,
AND SHE FORGOT
HER HANDKERCHIEF -- THAT'S ALL.
I THOUGHT I'D LOST YOU.
LISTEN,
NOW, THERE'S NO QUESTION OF IT.
YOU HAVE TO GO...FAR AWAY, YES.
NO, I'M NOT
GOING ANYWHERE.
I WANT TO STAY
AND HELP YOU.
IT'S NOT SAFE.
JUST DO AS YOU'RE TOLD.
NO, FOR ONCE YOU'VE
GOT TO LET ME IN.
YOU ARE MY ANGEL.
WE'RE GOING TO SEE THIS THROUGH
TOGETHER.
TO THE END.
TO THE VERY END.
MAY I BE FRANK,
INSPECTOR?
I WOULDN'T WISH IT
ANY OTHER WAY,
LADY AVONRILL.
I CAN SEE THAT
YOU'RE A GENTLEMAN
OF SENSITIVITY
AND INTELLIGENCE,
SO I KNOW THAT I MAY
RELY ON YOUR DISCRETION.
IF I MAY BE BRIEF, MY DAUGHTER,
LADY ELLEN, IS BUT 23,
WITH ALL THE WEAKNESSES,
IGNORANCES AND PASSIONS THAT
THAT ENCOMPASSES.
SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN
A HEADSTRONG GIRL.
I BELIEVE YOU SPOKE
OF BEING BRIEF, MA'AM.
YES, OF COURSE.
HOW KIND OF YOU TO REMIND ME.
THEN I SHALL GET TO MY POINT.
DO YOU BELIEVE
THAT MR. YORK IS THE RIPPER?
HE IS A SUSPECT.
HE IS THE RIPPER.
UNTIL WE DISCOVER--
HE
IS
--THE RIPPER.
THE MAN WHO CAPTURES
THE RIPPER WILL MOST CERTAINLY
RECEIVE A KNIGHTHOOD.
I GUARANTEE IT.
I SERVE ONLY THE TRUTH, MA'AM.
"HONESTY IS PRAISED
AND STARVES."
"NOBILITY IS
THE ONE AND ONLY VIRTUE."
I SEE YOU KNOW YOUR JUVENAL.
YOU HAVE HAD A BETTER EDUCATION
THAN I THOUGHT.
APPARENTLY SO.
THANK YOU FOR COMING.
I SHALL REMEMBER IT
ALWAYS, MA'AM.
I HOPE YOU SHALL,
AND WHO I AM.
( Jack )
ALL THE MURDERS HAVE TAKEN PLACE
WITHIN A MILE OF WHITECHAPEL.
HERE, HERE, HERE AND HERE.
WE'LL START AT ITS HEART
AND WORK OUR SEARCH OUTWARDS
IN A CIRCLE.
I WILL PHOTOGRAPH THE AREAS
WHERE I'VE SEEN THE CREATURE,
OR WHERE THE BODIES WERE FOUND.
I'VE MODIFIED
THE EMULSION SOMEWHAT
SO THEY'RE MORE SENSITIVE
TO FLUORESCENT LIGHT.
HOPEFULLY, WITH ANY LUCK,
WE CAN PICK UP ITS TRAIL.
AND IF WE DO?
THEN THAT'S
WHERE THE REAL ADVENTURE BEGINS.
THIS WILL DO, WORTHINGTON.
JUST ONE LAST TIME.
I WON'T BE LONG.
WHERE'S YOUR CANE NOW, JACK?
RIGHT HERE!
SURPRISE.
WHAT IN GOD'S NAME ARE YOU?
I'M A NIGHTMARE, JACK.
YOU'RE NOT EVEN OF THIS WORLD,
ARE YOU?
BRAVO.
WHY DON'T YOU GO BACK
TO YOUR OWN KIND?
WHY DO YOU THINK?
YOU CHOOSE TO BE HERE.
DID ROBINSON CRUSOE CHOOSE
HIS ISLAND?
YOU'RE STRANDED.
ENCORE.
ENCORE.
I MUST APPLAUD
YOUR PERSISTENCE, JACK.
NO ONE'S EVER COME
QUITE THIS CLOSE BEFORE.
IT GIVES ME A CERTAIN
--FRISSON
OF EXCITEMENT.
AND ARE THERE...
ARE THERE OTHERS?
OTHER RACES BESIDES YOUR OWN
OUT THERE?
BEYOND IMAGINING.
BUT WHY ME?
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO PICK ME?
YOU'RE THE PERFECT
LIGHTNING ROD.
THEY ALREADY HAVE
ENOUGH CLUES
TO SUSPECT YOU
OF THE MURDERS.
I'LL JUST KEEP
ENTERTAINING MYSELF
UNTIL THEY FINALLY HAVE
ENOUGH CLUES TO CONVICT YOU.
GOODBYE, JACK.
NO!
COME, JACK.
YOU DON'T WANT TO KILL ME.
WE'RE TOO MUCH ALIKE.
WE'RE BOTH OUTCASTS...
BY TEMPERAMENT AND BY CHOICE.
IT WOULD BE
LIKE KILLING YOURSELF.
YOU FORGET ONE THING --
I HATE MYSELF.
BY THE WAY,
DOES YOUR FIANCEE ALWAYS
KEEP THAT BUTLER AROUND?
BETTER LUCK
NEXT TIME.
HAVE FUN,
JACK...
THE RIPPER.
ELLEN, WAKE UP!
WHAT IS IT?
YOU HAVE TO LEAVE
AT ONCE.
GO TO AVONRILL,
AND DON'T COME BACK
UNTIL I CALL FOR YOU.
IT WAS HERE, I SPOKE TO IT.
IT'S INSIDE A WOMAN
IN A CREAM COLOURED DRESS.
WORTHINGTON,
TAKE LADY ELLEN HOME.
WE MUST GO SEE
INSPECTOR LANGFORD.
HE WOULDN'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT HE HAD.
ARROGANCE IS WHAT KILLED
THAT LITTLE GIRL.
DON'T ARGUE WITH ME!
DON'T YOU SEE?
I DON'T WANT YOU AROUND.
I DON'T WANT YOU.
YOU DON'T
MEAN THAT.
YES, I DO.
YOU WITH YOUR SILLY
CLOTHES FROM PARIS,
AND YOUR IDEAS
ABOUT HELPING ME.
IT'S LIKE HAVING
A CHILD IN TOW.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA
HOW REAL PEOPLE LIVE.
EVEN YOUR PASSIONS AREN'T REAL.
IT'S NOT ONE TENTH
OF WHAT A REAL WOMAN HAS.
YOU CAN'T EVEN KISS PROPERLY.
WORTHINGTON, TAKE ME HOME.
TAKE HER.
MAY GOD FORGIVE ME.
SHE WAS FOUND ABOUT
AN HOUR AGO, SIR.
JOHN...
CRECY VILLMORIN...
YORK.
JACK THE RIPPER.
I'D LIKE YOUR FULL REPORT
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
YES, SIR.
UH,
INSPECTOR LANGFORD,
I NEED TO SPEAK
TO YOU PRIVATELY.
SIR.
PLEASE, PROCEED.
I WAS NOT
WITH MR. YORK
ON THE EVENING
ELIZABETH STRIDE
WAS MURDERED.
I KNOW.
WE STILL DIDN'T HAVE
ENOUGH EVIDENCE.
NOW WE DO.
MR. YORK'S WATCH WAS FOUND
IN THE FIST
OF ANOTHER VICTIM.
TONIGHT?
JUDGING FROM THE BODY, YES.
LADY ELLEN?
TONIGHT WE WERE OUT.
WE WERE LOOKING
FOR THE CREATURE
AND WE BECAME SEPARATED.
HE SAID HE HAD SEEN IT,
THAT IT HAD
APPROACHED HIM.
LADY ELLEN,
MR. YORK IS
A SICK MAN,
AND A DANGEROUS ONE.
YES, HE'S SICK,
BUT NOT DANGEROUS.
HE WOULDN'T MURDER ANYONE.
HE NEEDS HELP.
THE RIPPER HAS MURDERED
FIVE WOMEN.
HE HAS CUT THEM OPEN
AND LEFT THEM BLEEDING.
HE'S A MONSTER.
BUT I SHARE YOUR VIEW.
NO SANE MAN COULD
PERFORM SUCH A DEED.
BUT AN INSANE MAN MUST
BE STOPPED.
YOU WON'T TRY TO KILL HIM?
NO.
YOU MUST TRUST ME,
LADY ELLEN.
WORTHINGTON?
WORTHINGTON?
WHY'D YOU COME BACK?
YOUR DETECTOR
AND YOUR EXPERIMENTS
ARE PRIMITIVE, BUT A BIT
TOO CLOSE TO THE BULL'S-EYE.
THE LAST THING I NEED IS
ANY PROOF THAT I'M AROUND.
DIE!
DIE!
DIE!
DIE!
DIE!
SEIZE HIM.
DIE!
DIE!
JACK!
NO, NO!
SHE'S THE ONE YOU WANT.
SHE'S THE RIPPER,
NOT ME.
SHE'S THE RIPPER!
SHE'S THE RIPPER,
NOT ME.
SHE'S THE ONE
YOU WANT.
I'M TELLING YOU.
SHE'S THE ONE YOU WANT.
SHE'S NOT EVEN HUMAN.
SHE'S THE RIPPER,
NOT ME.
SHE'S THE RIPPER!
OH, ELLEN, THANK GOD.
THANK GOD.
ELLEN.
HELLO, JACK.
YOU'VE COME TO...
YOU'VE COME TO GET ME OUT,
RIGHT?
NO, NO,
I CAN PROVE EVERYTHING.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS
FIX THE BOX CAMERA.
YES.
I'M GOING AWAY
FOR A WHILE, JACK.
WHAT?
NO, NO, YOU CAN'T.
YOU HAVE TO CONVINCE THEM.
IT'S STILL OUT THERE, ELLEN.
JACK,
I STILL CARE FOR YOU...
VERY DEEPLY.
BUT I CAN'T STAND THIS
ANY LONGER.
NO, NO, DON'T GO.
GOODBYE, JACK.
NO, NO, DON'T GO.
ELLEN, ELLEN, ELLEN, ELLEN!
OH, NO, DON'T GO.
NO, NO, NO.
OH, INSPECTOR LANGFORD.
INSPECTOR LANGFORD,
YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME.
THAT THING IS STILL OUT THERE.
I'M AFRAID THAT'S NOT
MY CONCERN ANYMORE, MR. YORK.
I'M RETIRING.
WHAT?
I'M GOING TO AMERICA
FOR MY HEALTH.
I SHALL ESCORT LADY ELLEN
WHILE SHE VISITS THERE.
IT'S THE LAND
OF OPPORTUNITY.
NO, NO, NO.
OH, NO.
DON'T WORRY.
SHE'LL HARDLY FEEL A THING.
NO, NO, NO!
( Control Voice )
THE UNIVERSE IS A LABYRINTH
SO VAST AND MYSTERIOUS
THAT THOSE WHO CHOOSE
TO PLUMB ITS DEPTHS
MAY WIND UP LOST FOREVER.
