From Hell Page #7

One day, men will look back...

...and say I gave birth to the 20th century.

You're not going to see the 20th century.

Roll up his sleeve.

Don't struggle.

You'll only make this more painful.

Are you all right?

There's someone under there.

Dr. Gull?

You were describing the human heart.

The human heart...

...is a dense and powerful muscle...

...much like the organic equivalent

of mahogany...

...and notoriously difficult to burn.

It's about the size of a fist.

It provides the motor power

for the circulatory system.

The heart contains two atria,

two ventricles and four valves.

It is, in effect, a single pump...

...powering a double circuit.

In the adult, the heart rate averages

Such is the force of the heart beat...

...that if the body's largest artery,

the aorta, is severed...

...a six-foot jet of blood...

...is released.

...fear no God.

Arise.

Your faith is well-founded.

Another murder!

Don't go in there. There's no need.

How bad is it?

She's in pieces, sir.

Sergeant, he can go in.

Give him to me.

He'll be taken care of. I swear.

-I want him.

-It's over. He's done. I give you my word.

F*** your word!

I'll bring every last one of you

f***ing c*nts down.

You and your f***ing brothers.

Listen to me.

Your difficult situation has been

thoroughly discussed.

You are reinstated.

Indeed, you are promoted.

No! This is not helping anything.

Don't be a fool, Inspector.

You will be very closely watched.

You're all there now.

Where were you when this was happening?

All right for you, standing around chatting.

What about us?

Inspector Abberline is in charge.

Give him all the assistance he requires.

Remember, you're being watched.

Men, clear this passage. Move them away.

Move back. Make way, you.

Shall we proceed, Inspector?

Body lies in middle of bed.

Shoulders flat,

but axis of body inclined toward right.

The left arm is close to the body.

The forearm flexed at a right angle,

resting across the abdomen.

The right arm is slightly abducted

from the body.

It rests on the mattress, with

the elbow bent and the forearm supine.

The fingers are clenched,

indicating a struggle as she died.

Notice something, Inspector?

No.

No, go on.

Came in not long before dawn,

in a bit of a rush.

Left this for you.

"I know you asked me to wait.

"If I'm to be murdered,

I'd like at least to die in my village.

"I'm going to the orphanage

to collect baby Alice.

"Here's an address where you can find us.

"We'll wait for you eagerly.

"I know in my heart,

we can be happy living by the sea.

"Just as you saw.

"I hope to be with you soon, dearest.

"All my love, Mary. "

We are deeply distressed, Lord Hallsham.

We asked Sir William to remove a threat

to our family and throne.

Not to engage in these ghastly rituals.

Of course not, Your Majesty.

That was unexpected.

On the other hand,

he has fulfilled his duties.

The threat is past, Your Majesty.

In his way, Sir William has been loyal.

And we are grateful for that.

The rest is in your hands, Lord Hallsham.

We wish to hear nothing further of this.

Knight of the East.

We are gathered here,

beneath the God of love...

...and before the sight of

the Great Architect, to judge this case.

You stand accused of mayhems that

have placed our brotherhood in jeopardy.

You stand before your peers,

Masons and doctors both.

I have no peers present here.

What?

No man amongst you is fit to judge...

...the mighty art that I have wrought.

Your rituals are empty oaths

you neither understand nor live by.

The Great Architect speaks to me.

He is the balance,

where my deeds are weighed and judged.

Not you.

Knight of the East...

...hear our judgment.

They're not watching you anymore.

I'm telling you, it's safe to go to her.

They think she's dead.

If I disappear,

or change my routine suddenly...

...they might wonder why.

You know who you're going to turn into?

That old bugger in the pub

that nobody wants to sit beside...

...because as soon as he's had a few drinks,

he goes on about the girl who got away.

Is that what you want?

Do you want to live the rest of your life

like a ghost?

No.

What I want is to go to her.

But at the slightest hint she's alive,

they will spare no expense...

...and no trouble.

So I'll stay.

And watch them.

Alice!

Come here, darling.

Coming, Mother.

Get up.

Get up! Come on.

"Good night, sweet prince. "
