From Hell Page #5

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

Go on! Get out!

Get out of here, you bloody whores.

When you have four pence...

...you can come back

with your ladies in waiting, Your Grace.

Shut up.

Back to work then.

Let's try and stay together.

-We can't. You know that.

-Then stay good and clear of Nichol Street.

Come on.

All right, Annie?

Bloody bastard.

-How's your head?

-Very funny.

Boo!

I didn't frighten you, did I?

I've been looking for you.

Been looking all over for you.

You've been looking for me?

Not for me. On behalf of my gentleman.

A very fine gentleman.

He sent me to find you.

Your gentleman sent you to find me?

Get off! I might be unfortunate,

but I'm not a blithering idiot.

It's the truth! The God's truth.

He's seen you. He likes you.

He said, tonight, only you'll do.

He said to find you, take you to

Hanover Street where he's waiting for you.

You're very pretty.

Go on. Get in, I'll take you there.

I almost forgot.

My gentleman got you a present.

-You like grapes?

-Yeah.

Your gentleman, he must be very refined.

-Very refined indeed.

-Get in.

-I'll take you there.

-All right.

Here we are.

-I'm a lucky lady.

-You are, lady.

Your gaffer,

does he want anything special?

Just the usual, I expect.

This alley takes you to the yard.

My gentleman is quiet.

He doesn't like disturbances.

What I want to know is, a toff like him...

...how much is he offering?

Here, 2 for now.

That'll do me.

Let me see you.

-Down there?

-Straight down to the door at the end.

Straight down there, right?

You watch your mouth!

Any more information?

My readers want to know.

Is it true you found a piece

of leather apron in her mouth?

No. But if it's your fancy, I'd be delighted

to stuff your mouth with leather.

Give us a tidbit, Sergeant.

We'll put your picture on the front page.

Do something about this.

This is ridiculous.

There's a bloody murderer on the loose.

What about my wife?

This is Annie.

Yes. Another of the circle of friends.

Annie Chapman.

Dark Annie, they called her.

You still say this isn't the Nichols boys?

Did the constable show you the bit

of leather found by the waterspout?

Could be part of a butcher's apron.

Leather apron. Dear God,

we could be looking for a butcher after all.

I saw her.

-This one?

-Yeah, last night.

I saw her face.

-Don't trample over this area.

-Let us see the body!

-Come on, let us see.

-Oh, God.

There's your typical Londoner...

...imbued with the Christian spirit

of sympathy for his fellow man.

Or fellow whore, in this case.

He's really outdone himself this time.

He not only severed the intestines...

...he's carefully arranged them

around the neck and shoulders.

I think he's taken more organs this time.
