1:07:01
...he concocted this elaborate deception...
1:07:04
...to have some privacy
while he indulged in his secret life.
1:07:08
But I know one reason I have for stating...
1:07:11
...that Prince Edward being Jack the Ripper
is just incomprehensible.
1:07:17
What's that, sir?
1:07:21
If you repeat what I'm about to tell you,
both our lives are in jeopardy.
1:07:25
Indeed, I hope for your sake
that what I'm about to say...
1:07:28
...will steer you clear
of the very real danger you're in.
1:07:31
I think I'm well past
the point of safe return, sir.
1:07:36
Prince Edward has syphilis.
1:07:40
Not a pleasant state secret, but a vital one.
1:07:44
That proves it.
1:07:46
I couldn't understand why the Prince
was killing Ann Crook's friends...
1:07:49
...especially so savagely,
but he's not merely killing them...
1:07:55
...he's punishing them.
1:07:57
He wants revenge. Don't you see, sir?
1:07:59
No, lnspector, I don't see.
1:08:03
I'm afraid your wild speculations
about the Prince's mental state...
1:08:07
...clever though they may be,
can't overcome the physical impossibility...
1:08:11
...of his committing these crimes.
1:08:13
The disease is far enough along
that his hands tremble uncontrollably.
1:08:18
He's very weak, and the killings
of Jack the Ripper require sure hands...
1:08:23
...and considerable vigor.
1:08:25
And have you forgotten
the most telling fact?
1:08:29
Whatever else the Prince may be...
1:08:31
...he knows little or nothing
of human anatomy.
