Why'd you do it, Mags?

You have to go.

- Mags, please.

- No, I can't. Please.

Nurse.

You have to leave now, Mr. Manning.

Please.

Now!

Oh, God!

No! Leave me alone!

Don't touch me!

Please!

Go! Go!

Leave me alone! No! Please, no!

I'd have come for that.

It was delicious.

Thank you.

Would you like some coffee?

That would be nice.

Where's your husband?

- He's at work.

- I thought he worked nights.

He leaves early.

He goes to the gym,

and then does who-knows-what beforehand.

And gets in at 3:00 a.m.?

You heard him.

That doesn't leave you

a lot of time together.

No.

Well, what time did you get in last night?

You must have been very quiet.

I'm sorry.

I know that's none of my business.

I'm afraid I have some work I need to do.

Thank you for the breakfast.

I'm glad you came over.

There's no damn way I'm handing this

over to the Feds. Or LAPD.

Look, it's too late, okay?

The Fed profiler is meeting with Sam now

- and they wanna see us at 3:00.

- Sh*t.

All right. We'll meet the profiler.

But when Smith comes,

you don't show him a f***ing thing.

You got me? Not a f***ing thing.

What are you doing?

I was trying to dry my trousers

and they caught fire.

You're welcome to use the dryer

in the house.

Well, these are lost now.

Think I might borrow one or two

of the things I saw in the closet?

Sure.

It seems your husband and I are a close fit.

So, he wants everything.

Who was killed, how many, when, how,

- police reports...

- From 1888?

Come on, you don't need me for this.

Everything on Jack the Ripper

is in the public record.

Why don't you just Google it?

Or go get the book

down at the Barnes & Noble?

Look, he wants it by 3:00, okay?

I mean, it beats me why you didn't

think it was the same guy all along.

- Going after whores, cutting them up...

- Find me the file number, would you?

All right, here it is.

Rolston, with an "O."

Well, two "O's." 1422, aisle 14, second shelf.

So you fried the wrong guy?

That's a bummer, huh, Detective?

F*** off.

- What the f*** are you doing?

- Why are you following me?

F*** you, man!

Just making sure you had the files.

Get the f*** out of here.

You know your man Manning

was here today.

- You know, the cop on TV.

- Manning's here?

Just went out the back door.

Sh*t.

- Did he take anything?

- Said he couldn't find

what he wanted. A**hole.

I go back there to make sure he found

the files, bastard pulls a gun on me.

A gun? What file name did he want?

Rolston, with an "O."

Well, two "O's."

What am I doing?

I forgot my bag.

Who were you expecting?

Sorry. Sorry I'm late.

Doctor's appointment.

So, Doc, what have we got?

How big, how old, Hispanic, White,
