Jack's Back Page #2

or pulling a double shift

and I wanna thank

you at the top.

We need to catch

this son of a b*tch.

Tonight may be our last chance.

Now the CHP's and the Sheriffs

are gonna have details

out there tonight

along with the Feds.

Now I expect you to show

them every courtesy,

but I also expect

you to be the ones

to bring this maggot in.

Sergeant Gabriel's gonna

brief you on this detail.

Gabe?

Thank you, Captain.

Well, we don't have much.

As you know, there

have been no survivors

and no eye witnesses.

We do know that the murders

are the work of one man,

we know that he's left-handed,

he always wears gloves,

he smokes,

and he's very strong.

The murder weapon is a knife,

six to eight inches

long, very sharp,

possibly a scalpel or

a post mortem knife.

We know that our boy

practices safe sex.

He uses pre-lubricated Trojans.

We have a few ideas,

but I'm gonna leave the

psychological profile

to the doctor.

You all have your assignments,

so at this time, I'd

like to introduce.

Dr. Carlos Battera, our

consulting psychiatrist

on loan from the APA.

Dr. Battera.

Thank you, Sergeant Gabriel.

Jack the Ripper

was the harbinger,

the father of the

modern sex crime

and he looms large in

our subject's mind.

He has duplicated each murder

down to the finest detail.

Some theorize that

Jack the Ripper

was a medical man

because of the precision

of his cutting and his

anatomical knowledge.

I believe that would

also apply in this case.

The most important thing

that I can tell you

with any certainty,

is unfortunately

about the victim.

She will be murdered in her room

sometime in the next 12 hours.

And she will be pregnant.

Good night, all.

- Good night, Mary.

- Good night, Mary.

Don't forget to lock up.

We won't.

Good night, Mary.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

You've been kind

of quiet tonight,

are you OK?

Yep.

Have anything to do with

that girl this afternoon?

No.

You wanna tell us about her?

Not really.

Cat's got his tongue.

So where's Roger?

I haven't seen Roger.

Tom, have you seen Roger around?

I haven't seen

him around at all.

Guess it's not happening?

No, not happening.

- Roger is...

- Boring.

Roger is boring, right?

He's pretty boring.

It's not his fault, though.

It's all that Anglo-Saxon sh*t.

I mean 200 years of tweed

sport coats and bow ties

fucks with your mind.

John.

Can you imagine

the kids, though?

Bunch of little

Rogers running around

with little bow ties.

Are you two quite through?

You're Italian, girl,

you've got hot blood.

You should let me fix

you up with a brother.

At the very least,

a Puerto Rican.

I can find my

own men, thank you.

All right.

Night, Chris.

Night, Jack.

Thanks for the book.

Did you like it?

I haven't had a

chance to look at it yet.

I'll read it over the weekend.

OK.

Well, if you do like it, though,

I'll get you another, OK?

OK.

What about Jack?

I think he's got

a thing for you.

Didn't hear me.

If you're so concerned about me,

why don't you take me out?

Me?

We could go to dinner.

I'm too wild for you, Chris.

How do you know, John?

You're killin' me,

I can't go to dinner tonight,

I've got work to do.

Will you get her

out of here, please?

Sure.

Chris, let me give

you a ride home.

The Ripper's still out there.

Tonight's the night.

Yeah, if you wouldn't mind.

Of course not.

Good night.

I'll see you at the car.

What's with you?

Do you have a penis?

Shut up.

See you tomorrow, dude.

Right.

Christ.

What do you want?

I can help you.

HOW?

I can get rid of it for you.

How much?

$200.

Take a check?

Do you take checks?

Let me in.

Are you gonna do it here?

Of course.

Denise?

My God!

Jesus!

Jack!

What have you done?

Call the police!

Call the police!

Hey you stupid

prick, come back here!

Don't you know how to drive?

Hello?

Is anybody here?

Come on! Come on!

Emergency operator.

The nature of your emergency?

Yeah, I wanna report a murder.

Your name?

John, John Wesford.

W-E-S-F-O-R-D .

Listen, the victim's

name is Denise Johnson

and I saw who did it.

No!

Look, it's, it's not

what you think, John.

I didn't kill her!

God, you gotta believe me!

I-I gave her an

abortion, that's all!

Look, I went out to

get her prescription.

Don't you see? Somebody else

must've come in there!

Look, I got scared, I'm sorry!

I didn't do it!

- You need help, Jack.

- No!

Me...

F***.

Jesus.

Sh*t.

Captain Prentis!

Captain Prentis!

Who was he?

He was a medical student

by the name of John Wesford.

He hung himself,

he knew we were

closing in on him.

Now we've done something even

Scotland Yard couldn't do.

We've caught Jack the Ripper.

Do you have conclusive evidence?

We do.

It'll all be introduced

at the inquest.

We have a press conference at

headquarters at nine o'clock.

I trust you will all be there.

Excuse me.

Why don't you see if

you can get this cleaned up

in about an hour,

I want to get a report

in to me right away.

You got it.

See you downtown, Sam.

All right.

So where do you wanna eat?

Boy.

What the hell?

- Hey!

- Now take it easy.

- What happened here?

- We still can't talk about it.

My brother was murdered.

- How do you know?

- I saw it.

You were there?

NO, I!

I saw it in a nightmare.

Last night?

Yeah.

Tell me exactly what

you saw in the nightmare.

Well, I was,

Johnny was sitting

on the floor, and...

He had a rope around his neck

and someone started

to pull the rope.

Did you see his face?

No.

How do you know

your brother didn't

commit suicide?

My brother didn't

commit suicide.

Someone who was there hurt him.

Someone was pulling

that f***ing rope.

Sure.

Was your brother

left-handed, Richard?

What?

Yeah.

Are you?

No, I'm ambidextrous.

Let's get some coffee.

Would you like a cup?

Yeah.

Cream and sugar?

Sure.

What do you think?

Well,

either he's telling the truth

or he killed his own brother.

Well, which is it?

I don't know.

There have been cases documented

where twins knew

the exact moment

of their sibling's death.

I'd like to interview him.

Hypnotize him if possible.

Run a check on him, see

what's in the computer.

Come with me, Doctor.

There we go.

Richard, this is Dr. Battera.

He's been working

with us on the case.

How do you do, Richard?

You think I'm crazy?

No, we don't.

No, we're just trying

to clarify the situation.

Some very serious charges

have been made

against your brother.

We have enough

evidence to believe

that he's responsible

for the Ripper murders.

My brother didn't kill anybody.

Some motherf***er put

a rope around his neck

and strung him up on

the f***ing ceiling!

We have an eyewitness.

F*** your eyewitness.

I don't need this

sh*t, all right?

If you want me to stay, book me.

Perhaps Sergeant, you

could give Richard and me

some time together?

All right.

I'd like to try and

help you understand

what happened to you,

if you'll permit me.

You saw what happened to your

brother last night in a dream.
