9 November 1888
Evening
Mortuary
💠If this is real, physical evidence can’t lie. Reports can. Memory can. But wounds are truth.
📞 You
Kim, go to the mortuary. If something is wrong with the timeline, the body will tell us. We need physical confirmation.
📞 Kim (to you)
Good. Agreed. I’ll stay on the line.
There’s more police activity the closer I get. Word is spreading fast about Kelly. The atmosphere feels… brittle. If this is really November 9th, they’re overwhelmed. That could work in our favor.
(Door creaks open. Sound shifts. Kim is inside now. Distant metallic clatter.)
📞 Kim (to you)
I’m inside. It’s dim. They only have oil lamps. It smells horrible in here. I don’t want to think about it. There’s a man at a table. His sleeves are rolled up. His hands stained. He looks tired. Not horrified. Just tired.
📞 Attendant
No visitors. Especially not women.
📞 Kim (to you)
This is delicate. One wrong move and I’m out. Or worse; reported. In 1888, women has no authority or respect. We are low on the hierarchy. I must be smart about this one. We get one attempt.
Choose carefully.
📞 You
Tell him you are here because she is your niece.
Offer him money. Say it’s for his time.
Tell him you are documenting the dignity of the victims, because no one else is.

📞 Kim
I’m not here to sensationalize. I’m here because she was my niece. I just heard the news and I…
📞 Attendant
Nonsense! Get out of here.
📞 Kim (to you)
Shit
Try again
Tell him you are documenting the dignity of the victims, because no one else is.
📞 Kim
Perhaps I could compensate you for…
📞 Attendant
You insult me.
You think I’d risk dismissal over coins?
Try again
Tell him you are documenting the dignity of the victims, because no one else is.
📞 Kim
Sir… the newspapers describe her as spectacle. They speak of her body as if it were theatre. She was a woman. No one is asking whether she was treated with dignity. You know what has been done to her. Let me record that she was examined properly. That she was not mocked. That she was handled with care.
📞 Attendant
…You’ll not touch her.
(Stone room. Door shuts behind her.)
📞 Kim (to you)
She’s here.
She’s on a wooden table. Covered to the collarbone. They’ve already done the post-mortem. This was indoors. Miller’s Court .
(You hear footsteps. Kim moves closer. Fabric shifts faintly)
📞 Kim (to you)
Oh…
Her face… They said she was unrecognizable. I thought that was an overstatement. It wasn’t.
She was someone.
She had a room. A bed. A life that fit inside four walls.
And he turned her into…
📞 You
Take a breath. If you need to leave, leave.
📞 Kim (to you)
Why.
Why would someone do this?
This isn’t about killing.
Killing is fast.
This is… something else.
(She moves slightly closer. Cloth rustles.)
The injuries aren’t random. They move with intention. From throat… downwards. But not for efficiency. Not like Nichols. Not like Chapman. This isn’t escalation for skill. It’s escalation for expression.Â
He wasn’t just silencing her. He was communicating something.
But what? Rage? Hatred? Ownership?
Â
Or is this about being seen?
💠You notice that she’s not scared anymore. She’s thinking. Hard.
📞 Kim (to you)
The heart is gone. That’s deliberate. Or is it symbolic? You don’t remove a heart for anatomical curiosity, right?
(Before you can answer, she continues)
You remove it because it means something. Why take the heart? Why leave everything else exposed? Why her? Why indoors? Why now?
This is the turning point. Not just in brutality. In psychology. He crossed from opportunistic predator… to someone who wanted time with what he’d done. And then after that.. He stopped. Or did he?
She was twenty-five. Just twenty-five.
She deserved to grow old.
No. No, this wasn’t random. There’s structure here. There’s pattern in these cases. And I am going to find it. We are going to find it!
(Footsteps and the door opens)
💠Kim can either ask about the first or the last victim. I should advise her wisely.
📞 You
Ask about Mary Ann Nichols. The first victim
Ask about Mary Jane Kelly. The last victim
Ask about Mary Ann Nichols. The first victim
Ask about Mary Jane Kelly. The last victim
📞 Kim
Mary Ann Nichols. August 31st. You examined her?
📞 Attendant
I assisted. Doctor Llewellyn led.
📞 Kim
Then you know the incision pattern.
📞 Attendant
What’s it to you?
📞 Kim
If the killer is escalating, the first wound tells us intention.
📞 Attendant
…You’re not police.
📞 Kim
No. Obviously, I’m not. Please tell me what you saw.
📞 Attendant
Throat first. Two cuts. Left to right.
📞 Kim (to you)
Left to right. That supports left-handed theory if attacker faced her.
📞 Attendant
Deep. Severed carotid. She’d’ve lost consciousness near instant.
📞 Kim
Abdominal wounds?
📞 Attendant
Multiple. Jagged. Not surgical neat. But purposeful.
📞 Kim
Purposeful how?
📞 Attendant
He opened her. Searched.
📞 Kim
For what?
📞 Attendant
…That’s the question, isn’t it?
📞 Kim
Mary Jane Kelly. Did you examine her?
📞 Attendant
I assisted.
📞 Kim
She is unrecognizable. But the incisions don’t look rushed.
📞 Attendant
He knows what he is doing. But this time he didn’t have to rush. He took his time. The mutilation was extensive. This time he didn’t search for something. It looks more like he is expressing himself. Unlike the others.
💠You think about that word; express. That implies psychological escalation. Not anatomical experimentation.
📞 You
Kim, ask if the heart removal was clean.
📞 Kim
Is the heart removed surgically?
📞 Attendant
How do you…
📞 Kim
That doesn’t matter. Please continue.
📞 Attendant
It’s absent. Whether removed carefully… or in frenzy… is debated.
📞 Kim
So even here, precision is questionable.
💠You ponder on it. It was jagged but purposeful. Not elegant surgery. But controlled. That doesn’t scream elite surgeon. It suggests familiarity with anatomy without refinement.
📞 You:
Kim, ask him if organs were removed cleanly.
📞 Kim
What about the organs. Were they removed cleanly?
📞 Attendant
Not in Nichols’ case. That came later.
📞 Kim
So escalation is real?
📞 Attendant
You’ve seen Chapman?
📞 Kim
I’ve read about her.
📞 Attendant
Uterus removed. Taken clean. Eddowes’ kidney missing. Precise enough to concern some.
📞 Kim (to you)
That escalation curve is historically accurate. But listen to his wording. Concern some. Not all.
📞 You
Ask him if he believes it’s a doctor.
📞 Kim
Do you believe this is a doctor?
📞 Attendant
Doctor? No. Doctors cut with confidence. This man cuts with… urgency.
📞 Kim
But skilled enough to locate organs in darkness.
📞 Attendant
Skilled? Or familiar?
📞 Kim
Explain.
📞 Attendant
You don’t need a diploma to open a body.
📞 Kim
What about handedness?
📞 Attendant
Left-to-right throat suggests left-handed. But positioning matters. If she was already on the ground, angle changes everything.
📞 Kim
So the left-handed certainty isn’t solid?
📞 Attendant
Everything is a mystery, isn’t it?
📞 Kim
Yeah. That’s a very good point

I swear it wasn’t here before.
7.43 p.m.
I have found a note with your name on it.
What are you and Kim up to?
7.44 p.m.
Nichols: throat cut efficiently. Abdominal mutilation exploratory, not refined.
Â
Chapman: organ removal cleaner.
Â
Stride: Throat cute only. Possible interrupted.
Â
Eddowes: kidney extracted, facial mutilation added.
Â
Kelly: extreme overkill, heart removed, body flayed in private room.
7.45 p.m.
📞 You
Kim… if Nichols wasn’t surgically precise, the medical mastermind theory weakens.
📞 Kim
Nichols wasn’t surgically precise?
📞 Attendant:
Correct. But if you’re wise, miss, you won’t look too high or too long.
📞 Kim
Why?
📞 Attendant
Because some doors close permanently.
💠You shiver. That sounds like a warning. Or intimidation. or paranoia.
(Another voice enters. Older, firmer.)
📞 Doctor
What is this? Who are you?
📞 Kim
A researcher.
📞 Doctor
On whose authority?
GET OUT NOW
(Outside noise floods back in.)
📞 Kim (to you)
That went well. We confirmed something crucial. Kelly’s case strengthens psychological escalation. Not necessarily surgical mastery. And access to privacy is the turning point.
He adapted. He learned and he grows bolder. Which means. If I’m here after Kelly… He might not be finished.
