I mean, exactly the same.

He's telling us it's him,

like a surgeon signing his name.

And another thing.

You know who he's imitating, don't you?

- Who?

- Thirty-nine incisions on the last one.

The whole body mutilation, prostitutes...

I should have seen it.

F***.

Who? Who is he imitating?

Jack the Ripper.

Another prostitute was brutally murdered

in West Hollywood last night.

Last night's violent murder here

on Sunset Boulevard is the second...

... second exact recreation

of the Jack the Ripper murders,

which occurred over 100 years ago.

News 15 sources believe

the LASD Coroner's Office

will shortly issue a report with evidence

that both women were cut exactly 39 times.

... killed at least 6 women in 1888,

was never caught.

You stay here, Timmy.

The violent murder of two women

in West Hollywood this week

seems to precisely mimic

the extraordinarily brutal crimes

committed by

Jack the Ripper, in London,

over 100 years ago.

Further, we are exploring the possibility

that these recent murders

may have been committed by

the same man who killed two women

in a similar fashion

on Sunset Boulevard seven years ago.

- Detective!

- Detective, over here!

- Just one question!

- Over here! Does this mean...

Is it possible Alonzo Rodriguez

was innocent of the two murders

for which you and the DA

had him executed?

In light of new evidence,

LASD has informed the mayor's office

that it intends to reopen the Rodriguez file.

Sir! Detective!

Detective! Question, one more question!

Detective Manning, please, over here!

Sir! Please, please, sir!

Tell Gregor to pull up anything he can

on Jack the Ripper.

Timeline, number of victims,

odd facts, anything.

This lunatic's not done yet.

- Where you going?

- Be back around 4:00.

Mr. Manning.

Hi, I'm Dr. Stevens.

I'd like to speak with you for a moment

before you see your wife.

She's making some progress, but still

experiences intense bouts of depression.

It's necessary for us to

have someone with her at all times.

Your daughter was adamant that

you not be allowed to visit.

Yeah, you people didn't seem

so excited about me being here either.

Well, that's more your daughter's

feeling right now than your wife's.

Or mine.

But just to be safe,

if she begins to get upset, even slightly,

I'm going to have the attending nurse

stop the visit immediately.

What do you people think I'm gonna do?

She's my wife, for Christ's sake.

Just don't expect too much,

she's extremely...

Are you gonna let me see her, or not?

Hello, Chandler.

Hi, Mags.

It's good to see you.

Yeah, I'm sure I look wonderful.

No, you look good.

I hope it's all right I came.

I suppose I'll always have this.
