From Hell Page #2

Synopsis: It is 1888 in London, and the unfortunate poor lead horrifying lives in the city's deadliest slum, Whitechapel. Harassed by gangs and forced to walk the streets for a living, Mary Kelly and her small group of companions trudge on through this daily misery, their only consolation being that things can't get any worse. Yet things somehow do when their friend Ann is kidnapped and they are drawn into a conspiracy with links higher up than they could possibly imagine. The kidnapping is soon followed by the gruesome murder of another woman, Polly, and it becomes apparent that they are being hunted down, one by one. Sinister even by Whitechapel standards, the murder grabs the attention of Inspector Fred Abberline, a brilliant yet troubled man whose police work is often aided by his psychic abilities. Abberline becomes deeply involved with the case, which takes on personal meaning to him when he and Mary begin to fall in love. But as he gets closer to the truth Whitechapel becomes more and mor

They're gonna kill every one of us.

Who is this Albert anyway?

Who cares about Albert

and Ann's troubles?

What are we gonna do?

We can't stay clear

of the Nichols boys forever.

They say that they held

poor Martha down...

...and watched her bleed

until she passed out.

Then they cut her throat.

McQueen is mad.

He enjoys hurting women.

It's insane that they want 4.

How are we gonna get 4?

Not with my old cunny.

I'd be lucky to get four pence.

Behave yourselves or bugger off.

You can bugger off.

We work, girls.

We work the streets harder than ever.

Right?

Right?

All right. We can do it here, but hurry up.

-The bobbies are tracking us tonight.

-Right.

Gotta get the old man hard first.

Give it here. I'll put it in meself.

-Is that in?

-Of course it is. Come on.

It's not.

You got it stuck between your legs.

No, I haven't. Come on.

I knows it when I feels it.

That's mine, Polly.

That's my money.

I could pop your eye out.

The customers wouldn't mind.

They don't mind if a whore can see.

-What's that you got there?

-What've I got here?

What have I got here, Constable?

Only a little thing.

Only a little thing to you,

but a great thing to me.

Move! Or I'll bash that smart mouth.

You're a dead woman.

Lovey, he won't bother you again tonight.

That's right. Look.

One for the Nichols, and one for me.

Come here.

We'll work the streets together.

I'll keep my eye on you, love.

You pig!

You disgusting pig!

Yeah, I'm a pig.

I'm what's wrong with the world.

Be on your own then.

No!

You don't want the company of a pig!

What the f*** are you looking at?

Thirsty?

That was the thing that was in my dream.

-What's it called again?

-Cleopatra's needle.

Cleopatra. She was a beauty, wasn't she?

It was carved 1,500 years

before the Son of God was born.

Six men died to bring it here...

...from Egypt.

May the good Lord have mercy.

She was like that when I found her.

All murdered.

What kind of monster did this?

The boys have made their rounds

of the taverns...

...and the delightful domiciles

that make up this charming street.

Will it surprise you

that no one heard a sound?

Her throat was cut,

but there's no arterial spray on the wall.

She was killed somewhere else.

It rained last night, didn't it?

She's dry.

She was brought here

in a carriage or something.

Her throat must've been cut

in the carriage.

I imagine they stopped it over there.

They?

There's more than one?

Most definitely.

This was all in your vision?

Jesus!

So, definitely more than one person.

It has to be a message

from the Nichols boys. Right?

What the hell?

That's grapes, isn't it?

What the hell would a bangtail
