"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..."
