Jack the Ripper Page #4

---

- Yes, of course.

You're like a child.

You saw me as a kind of mother figure.

I never felt like your lover.

That wasn't good for me.

But if you have problems at work,

you're welcome to discuss them with me.

You're looking for Jack the Ripper?

Continue your declaration of love later.

I need Cynthia.

- When will you be done?

- I think it will be a late night tonight.

- I'll pick you up.

- All right.

Come here.

What was I, then?

I was a good mother to you, wasn't I?

What the punters paid

supported both of us.

You and me, my son, my little idiot.

Darling.

You peeped through the keyhole.

If you hadn't done that, I would still be alive.

But the man had already

made up his mind.

Come on.

Take your chance.

You're a darling. I focused

all my attention on you.

Your father will have to pay too,

as soon as you have paid,

or he will hit me.

The fact that you have seen me now

makes everything much easier.

It means that you can do it too.

Come on, my pretty boy,

I'm inviting you. We'll do it.

I'll do a particularly good job on you.

No.

- Who is that? Oh, did I scare you?

- It's me, Mrs Baxter.

You're not going out at this hour, are you?

- It's very urgent.

- No case can be that urgent.

- The patient can wait ten minutes.

- I have to go.

I'll do what I can to stop you.

I can't stand by

and watch you go out every night. I will...

Give me that. You have no right

to interfere in my affairs.

But, dear Doctor, what's wrong with you?

You're completely different.

Let me suggest something to you. We'll

have a cup of tea and you can relax a little.

Please sit down.

Doctor, you should sit down.

Just a moment.

Some lemon?

- Doctor, I asked you something.

- Yes?

- Would you like some lemon?

- I'll leave it up to you.

All right, my dear.

There you are. I'll have a sip as well.

Here we are.

Now tell me, Doctor,

do you like it here in my house?

It's all right, you can admit it.

I know it's not very luxurious.

- That doesn't really bother me.

- I'm glad. So, you're happy here?

If you, well...

If you could afford to rent a better place...

...would you stay here with me?

- Yes, of course. Why?

I was thinking of our conversation yesterday.

I seem to have been

a little too insistent that you take it easy.

I think that I have feelings

of true friendship for you, my dear.

- Yes.

- You are such an extraordinary person.

But even you need friendship,

affection and warmth, not to mention love.

Do you really want to live without all that?
