"Each of us has our worst fears to confront Dr Zimmerman.
John Druitt is mine"
...and thus the whirligig of time
brings in his revenges...
(Twelfth Night, Act V, Scene I)
John: Hello Helen
Helen: John...
John: Wonderful to see you again
Ashley: You know this ghoul?
John: Oh...your mother and I go way back
John: You saved my life once before, you can do it again
Helen: I can help you, John, and not by prolonging this nightmare. I can find a cure
John: She clearly doesn't know
Helen: How could I possibly tell her?
John: She must have asked how she came by her killer instincts
Helen: She thinks her father's dead
John: I wonder how she'd feel to learn the truth
Helen: You're mind is poisoned, John, through no fault of your own
John: Helen Magnus! Friend to nature's abominations and enemy of common sense! You're blood, Helen!
John: Thank you Helen. You won't regret it
Helen: I'm sorry I can't say the same for you...Forgive me, John
Will: Turns out that a John Druitt was one of Scotland Yard's prime suspects in the Ripper Case in the 1880s
Helen: Yes, he was my first patient
Will: My god...you treated one of the most notorious serial killers of all time
Dear Boss,
I keep on hearing the police have caught me but they wont fix me just yet. I have laughed when they look so clever and
talk about being on the right track. That joke about Leather Apron gave me real fits. I am down on whores and I shant quit
ripping them till I do get buckled. Grand work the last job was. I gave the lady no time to squeal. How can they catch me now.
I love my work and want to start again. You will soon hear of me with my funny little games. I saved some of the proper red stuff
in a ginger beer bottle over the last job to write with but it went thick like glue and I cant use it. Red ink is fit enough I hope ha. ha.
The next job I do I shall clip the ladys ears off and send to the police officers just for jolly wouldn't you. Keep this letter back till I
do a bit more work, then give it out straight.
My knife's so nice and sharp I want to get to work right away if I get a chance. Good Luck.
Yours truly
Jack the Ripper
Dont mind me giving the trade name
PS Wasnt good enough to post this before I got all the red ink off my hands curse it No luck yet.
They say I'm a doctor now. ha ha
...What hands are here? ha! they pluck out mine eyes.
Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood
Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather
The multitudinous seas in incarnadine,
Making the green one red...
(Macbeth, Act II, Scene II)
Helen: I've spent all the intervening years trying to undo that mistake.
Will: He was more than your patient, wasn't he?
...Was this the face that launch'd a thousand ships,And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss...
...O, thou art fairer than the evening airClad in the beauty of a thousand stars;Brighter art thou than flaming JupiterWhen he appear'd to hapless Semele;More lovely than the monarch of the skyIn wanton Arethusa's azur'd arms;And none but thou shalt be my paramour!...
(Doctor Faustus, Act V, scene I)
...Let me speak, Doctor. I've spent my entire life lost in a void, afraid of who I am... of what I am.
If not for you, I fear I would have remained lost. Instead, I can now see that I am neither a freak of nature
nor a devil, but a man... very much in love...
...I promise to make you happy, Helen,
for all eternity...
John: Did you ever love me? I mean, truly love me? You know I'm just an element of your subconscious mind, so feel free to be completely frank.
Helen: When I first knew you at Oxford, I loved you with my entire being.
John: Those were passionate times, gone too quickly...followed by very dark days
Helen: You destroyed my heart, John. Even though I understood why you had changed, your ailment, the hatred you felt towards me, and then the way you would harm our daughter.
John: Let me make it up to you. I need you to wake up. Now!
John: We were part of something, something we called The Five.
A small group dedicated to expanding our knowledge of the physical world by the most unconventional means
...Only the chosen left alive,
immortals all, the Holy Five...
John: Helen, you're certain?
Helen: We’ve risked too much to turn back now. We need to know
Helen: John! What the hell are you doing?
John: Saving you're life
Helen: Why?
John: You’ve had a long night, Helen. I’m simply glad to see you safe and sound
...I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf Heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself, and curse my fate...
...Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state
(Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings...
(Shakespeare, Sonnet 29)
