own assignments

me you still like them

which one who's been the ambassador

thank you thank you my friends

two months ago when I first stepped

through the doors of this Embassy I

realized the dream for myself and for

Romania being the ambassador to France

brings me closest to a culture and a

people I truly love and admire now as

the Sun rises over my country it shines

on the people free from oppression and

in control of their own destiny thank

you my friends here is to our future

there is one thing

the Communists never dare to tell us

capitalism is also more fun thank you

for joining in the celebration

this Jamo it's a pleasure a Hertz that I

was bringing you I hope you're taking

very good care of my favorite foreign

correspondent we should ask him now

complaint excuse me telephone call from

the president sir Thank You colonel I'll

be right there

Bashar Momin have you met my chief of

security colonel nasty no it happens

he's from the old regime how was it we

live here always on the job colonel the

president is waiting sir excuse me

please enjoy yourselves thank you thank

you

I think the Ambassador made an excellent

suggestion and they wouldn't dream of

going against his wishes

what is it you want to talk to me about

inspector that's not you attended a

party at the rooming in embassy

yes I did where Stefan from breda yes

how well did you know him what happened

his body was found in an alley in your

neighborhood when was the last time you

saw him

miss Jim

that's my problem at three o clock this

morning to catch any other plane how did

he die

he was murdered

Gabriel looks beautiful who's the

good-looking guy one on the left is the

Romanian ambassador Jed see our pad no

no no no the guy on the right he looks

familiar that's different breed off you

came from behind the Iron Curtain three

or four years ago to become the darling

of the two-minute news play oh yeah I

remember right the journalist who got on

the inside in your rock house Gaby no I

think I met about a year ago they look

very good together it's serious but as

serious as you can get when your work

keeps you apart work I understood this

meeting was supposed to begin at 9:00

o'clock

she's late we'll begin without her Oh

filler in I have half a dozen men coming

over from Kuwait next week all depending

on our security yes it's right here I'll

put him on it's Gabrielle calling from

the police station

Gabriela yes are you alright who is it

all and lasted seven sorry to interrupt

that's all right colonel we've just

finished your timing is perfect as usual

I just thought I tell you i'ma go away

sir living on another one of your

cloak-and-dagger missions I'm going to

see the local police sir with your

permission what do they want

despite diplomatic immunity we find it's

useful to help the local authorities

when weekend how can we help I doubt

that we can but it seems one of your

guests was found dead in the streets of

parts this morning still him from

breathing

Stefan dead how all I know is what they

told me he was not last night Colonel

yes sir I want the full written report

as soon as you through certainly sir

what was your relationship to sniffing

married when I was covering the coup in

Romania and then he looked me up when he

came to Paris was about a year ago you

know what I mean is llamo we're as close

as you can be when you're always going

off in opposite directions we didn't get

to spend much time together how long did

you stay at the embassy party I arrived

a button around 10 o'clock and I said a

couple of hours though would you tell me

exactly what happened to him oh here you

are all right Peter why don't you come

with me now some things cops only feel

comfortable telling other cops at 5:53 a

street sweeper found sniffing from

burritos body in an open courtyard

we're certain he was killed nearby and

dragged into this particular courtyard

as you can see it's not a pretty sight

no it's an understatement

this wound here looks like an upward

slash from the abdomen to the chest that

didn't kill him I mean the bruises

around the neck technically he died of

strangulation do you have any other

details well some of the organs were

removed with what appears to be surgical

precision or anything found we were

placed into an arc around the body with

all his belongings and the contents of

his pockets is really gives them it

can't be but well this MF is exactly

that Jack Turin

Peter I have a right to know exactly

miss Pina

Gabrielle I think the inspector was

simply trying to spare you the details

don't appreciate it inspector but I want

to know everything

well apart from the fact that Stefan was

a man the mo fits almost exactly that of

a famous and very brutal serial killer

it's a secret or we know this guy in a

way Jack the Ripper's the Ripper

his last victim was almost what a

hundred years ago right exactly but I

only have one murderer Peter and the

Reaper killed what two dozen prostitutes

actually he killed six women and you're

right it was in the summer of 1888

already made his reputation for him was

the fact he was never caught

according to the movie he did a job on

these women exactly that would happen to

stiffen and so in his German Peter there

may be some similarities but I only have

one murder based on that no matter how

brutal or I can hardly propose to my

superiors that I have a Jack the Ripper

loose in Paris I know you can't Phillipe

I know but I would like to suggest that

there could be a pattern here now if

your people run this through the

computer yes we have no other murders

that fit this MO I think we have a

homicidal maniac who simply by chance

duplicate the rivers MO some nutbar who

saw the movie Philippe look at the

pictures again and ask yourself whether

you really think that's the work of an

amateur

I'd say imitator

Iijima you were probably the last person

to have seen Stefan from breed of alive

try to remember something that would

help us put a face to this maniac

come on let's get out of here Philippe

you'll be in touch they were sort to

hear about your friend miss German

please accept my facilities Thank You

colonel

colonel the chief of security for the

Romanian intimacy you I should get your

invitation at the event last night

Stefan was a friend of an ambassador how

good a friend

I'd like to go home we'll drop you off

how's she holding up she's hurtin but

she covers good I got a question

mm-hmm Scotland Yard's got a lot than

those files how comes you know so much

about the Ripper case well most the

information was generally available I

was doing a thesis on the subject when I

was in university so as soon as the

files were open I dived in to find out

if my theories were correct now on

knowing you you were probably right

simple as that no there's a lot more

detail of course but nothing that we

didn't really already know the yard

should have a record on anybody asking

for those files spot-on yeah see

Peterson can now these guys here are all

journalists these novelists too jaded

criminologists like myself in this class

a filmmaker

all of them are suspects so I guess we

should start eliminating then let's guy

Peterson Claire what do you think no but

you know what I think we should be doing

we should be concentrating on murders

two three years old that identically

copy the repair MO good idea then you

can help me by accessing the Interpol

database I got my own database

so what do you need as a psycho one

around town means to slice and dice no

one only by his handiwork what's it to

you just call it the favor you all

let me check around you'll see like the

same number yeah call me [ __ ]

I'm going to be a mercy I'd like to find

out more about Stefan yeah good idea

any word from stone how he's getting on

this time his database is empty relax

it's got nothing to do with the

computers I'll call you as soon as we're

finished in Prague keep you posted

thank you no much to go on this time

around huh well I just put it this way

JJ I think I was Interpol came up with

something valuable lead him oh we well

know how valuable till we've actually

been to Prague a lot of ground to cover

so you figure you guys start out in

Prague well judging from Interpol

forensic report this murder in Prague is

an absolute dead ringer for Jack the

Ripper's third victim about number one

in two yeah well we're still scanning

the continent how come there's no

psychological report here on Jack it was

never found so there's no positive

information all we have is speculation

that's your specialty so what's your

speculation Pete but I think the

original Jack the Ripper was above

average mentality so it's more of a

maniac than a murderer he was able to

fit right in with society and yet

disappear within it the list of suspects

ranges from midwives to royalty and your

guy obsessive methodical obviously

studied the case memorize the details

and then used the mo to cover his tracks

Magnus deep-seated hatred in there but

he's also clever enough to know exactly

when and how to break the rippers rules

by cutting up men instead of women and

operating in different cities well

that's some speculation Pete of course

you might not be right I like your

theory well thank you JJ

but you know the tough part of this is

the time element Jack the Ripper only

killed six times that means with every

kill our guy makes we get one step

closer to losing him so I guess you need

a connection yeah and damn soon too

my condolences miss Sharma Stefan was a

talented writer and a good friend I

shall miss him

thank you I was hoping you could help me

with some names and addresses

we'd like to contact his family of

course Monsieur mo my staff will gather

all that you require it should take a

couple of days I'd like to get in touch

with him and as soon as possible I

understand

did you know Stefan well I did can you

think of anyone who hated him so much

they would have done this to him as you

know mr. mole Stefan was an outspoken

reporter Thank You mr. ambassador it was

very kind of you to see me not at all

well I read your assessment of the

killing your reasoning is excellent you

mean even if my assumptions were a

little bored well you have based among

research they may not be as bold as you

think the Prague murder and the third

murder in the ripa fire are very very

comparable yes the broad medical report

and this one here from Scotland Yard are

incredibly similar and now he's hit

again in Paris well we can't be sure but

we do have a matter you're trying to

establish a pattern but the murder here

was weeks ago

yes I do know that but any overlooked

detail could be important so if you

don't mind mr. Cora

could we go through this again yes again

our kernel nesting has a very

interesting past Oh gonna check on them

did you

sure J followed me girl that's very

impressive mr. Maule well this is just

the official version uh-huh it's mr.

Seng class huh right this just came in

from Berlin sit down how'd you get on in

pride not completely it wasn't a random

murder was it no how well did you know

Stefan obviously not well enough did he

talk much about what he did before he

came to the west each time I asked him

he would change the subject what did you

find out Josie seemed anxious to help

when I left the embassy kuranda nastic

followed me I managed to lose him and

ran a check on him though history is

just like a classic KGB profile old boys

club settling scores as in this report

we just received from Berlin

substantiates that two men killed

mutilated well it affects the reporter

to unit you can decide on that you're

supposed to be the expert remember it's

still a theory are you going I'm going

back to the embassy to look for

something concrete Stefan wasn't killed

by your theory

miss remar

caution please

do you think there's a connection Carlo

I just think it's really strange we hear

Leon's in town so soon after Stefan's

death don't you

what is the I'm doing here now perhaps I

can ask him that personally go ahead but

be very careful I'll keep you informed

the ambassador sends his apologies but

he cannot see you today

the ambassador was supposed to give some

information for me this things take time

mr. Mont and why don't you suggest going

on perhaps tomorrow

perhaps you do best if I call the taxi I

appreciate your concern colonel but I

have my own transportation

Karuna stick what you get very cold

reception from Colonel nasty that's

about it

what'd you expect why was Miss Gemma

leaving the building because I talked to

her you were busy who told you to do

that I took the initiative myself sir

you what she is a reporter sir they all

mean trouble

she doesn't understand want our

country's being through hello we have no

need for women like her right now sir

she called destroyed everything I'll

make those decisions myself from now on

colonel is that understood yes sir when

she calls again for an appointment I

will speak to her personally you're

dismissed

the Berlin and Prague murders check out

they are exact duplicates the rippers

first second and third victims instead

and where's the fourth

that means there's two to go

then what but if there really is any

pattern you just disappear

but here resurfaced eventually now

probably if he's angry enough or

frustrated enough or even just plain

bored it won't be as the Ripper

a devil reincarnate himself

his next victims could be women and

children

he was obviously clever enough and

mobile enough to strike at will

well that's why we have to be quick

enough to catch him before he vanishes

guys got no time for him exactly he

could happen at any time if it hasn't

already occurred and where is

unpredictable yes but we know what to

expect

ugly as it may be

now the rippers fifth victim

was in a London Street in the West End

victim was a prostitute like the others

yes he led her round the corner into

mitre square all his victims went to him

willingly had abusive

must have seemed normal to them

yes and I think that's probably the most

vital clue just like the original Ripper

he seems to work very quickly

yeah quite clearly he's an expert one

quick stab from the scuttle probably

takes the fight out of his victims who

fell to the ground then traps his hands

around their necks in both these cases

all the victims died by strangulation

now our Ripper needn't be a big man the

initial shock from the first stab would

be enough to disable most people he was

obsessive in his madness

sixth

and final victim was killed very sad

night

well so much for your theory it's a

woman who is she

we working on that right now she's

better disfigured well he predicted it

the only thing he got wrong was that it

was a woman it only makes him half right

that doesn't help me one bit yeah but we

found other bodies too in Berlin one in

yuccas limestone I'm only concerned with

what I've got and what I can do I mean I

have to find as many out before he hits

again

that's what I'm talking about here if

you got a Ripper copycat you got one

chance and then it's gone unless he

finds himself another need maybe kids

so according to your theory when is the

next window Peter says ignited only

tonight okay well I'm sorry but I'm

still skeptical tell you what you come

back to the office with us I'll show you

the pile

starting to canola Jegs from British

intelligence the boys were very

impressed with your request they thought

I should speak with you in person where

did you get those names although the

question is what can you tell me about

it they're all spies you mean there were

they're all dead

we knew that too

each of those men were KGB agents some

of them were undercover some of them

were Moscow control they were all well

placed in Romania before the coup

yes about a week before the coup took

place

seven KGB undercover agents met in

Vienna and devised a plan to stop it the

four men you asked about where among who

are the other three what's your interest

in them mild to say the least one of

them's a homicidal maniac probably more

than one Alexander they weren't selected

for their good table manners you know

that I know that I also know that one of

those agents struck again tonight his

victim was a woman you want me to tell

you what he did to her I can imagine no

I'm not sure that you can she was

mutilated beyond recognition

with a scalpel and that was after the

killer had cut her open

was one of those agents at that meeting

a woman yes her name was Carla firenzi

the most recent posting was of the

Romanian embassy here in Paris what was

their position technically she was

Jersey árpád's aide but the hell else

was she his lover thank you I've got to

be going and I've got work to do we're

not finished yet don't let a friendly

visit get ugly Alex five of the seven

agents are dead surely in your position

you're morally committed to prevent

another who were those other agents

present at that meeting why don't you

leave us to do this Alex stay out of it

dad I desperately need your help we

really do believe that you'll strike

again tonight all right

Thank You Karl I've just seen some

evidence that indicates there may be a

pattern that's right sir exactly the

same a mo in pregnant girl in alright

thank you sir

so the commissioners on board that's

good to hear

just come from upstairs another piece of

the puzzle did you identify the woman's

name

yes she's colorful NZ now the common

denominator between her Stefan phone

Bergdorf and the others is that one time

another they have all worked for the

same organization Romanian embassy you

know Peter this involved the embassy I

have no jurisdiction and they have

immunity

that's why you're working with us

forever

yes mr. ambassador

I'm sorry we missed our appointment I'm

afraid you were a victim of some

overzealous protection the colonel can

make quite an impression when he wants

to don't worry

he's heading home soon I have the

information you requested well thank you

that's not exactly why I wanted to talk

with you it's safe to speak of course

this line is secure I have some new

information of its difference murder

well I am sure the authorities I can't

tell the authorities I have to tell you

I know but the seven men in Vienna

ten dilute room three three oh and as

soon as you can get here

this time let me go talk to the wife I'm

only too well mr. ambassador

I got them and start them

except sages

picky

same thing keep one more time no you

can't touch me I have diplomatic

immunity not in our book you don't write

Pete that's damn right Peter stone this

is a police case no way you can still

you still don't have diplomatic immunity

I am the ambassador of Romania

how are you can

and the free man

I have diplomatic immunity as well I

demand to be turned over to the Romanian

authorities

it would seem you're quite a hero in

your country colonel being hero muscle

depends on being on the correct side

unfortunately it's often very difficult

to determine particularly for an

outsider well I sincerely hope you get

what you deserve

Thank You mr. Sinclair social office

I suppose it's a matter of obsession

isn't it Peter

yes sir well Jack the Ripper it was sex

and violence with Jersey it was silence

the absolute silence he needed to keep

himself in power why'd you expect birds

of a feather that guy from so many

people that's what he was trained to do

Stefan fooled you it was different was

different yes but he was KGB too mama

don't forget Colonel mastic was also KGB

and he saved his country from

international disgrace

well how many Felix's and jerseys there

are in the world probably as many as

there are of you yeah but I'm reformed I

work for you well since you do I suggest

we get back to the case at hand before

we were all interrupted remember those

six gentlemen from Kuwait their arrival

is more than imminent one of the Iraqis

coming maybe sooner than you think mr.

stone the road to peace take some very

curious turns let's get on with this

shall we

when you open the gates to freedom you

open all the gates that's the glory

that's the risk
