Synopsis of The Ripper

The Ripper starts with a voice over of a news report, while we see an office with Detective Inspector Neeson looking at evidence and newspaper clippings (time of original JtR and new) pinned on a wall. The news report basically says that a serial killer (identity unknown, codename Jack the Ripper), is still at large. There would be short flashes of the murders threaded into the scene. Neeson notices that JtR's murders have a pattern starting to resemble a 'J'. Neeson announces to the rest of the department his findings, and that he believes the next town Jack will strike is probably Brighton. Neeson calls the Brighton's police department and explains to them the situation. D.I. Neeson goes to Brighton to help them.

The next scene happens 2 days later at night and it shows D.I Neeson in The Lanes. A moment later, he hears a scream around the corner. He runs to the source of the sound, as a witness runs in the other direction, to find nothing but a trail of blood where the victim has been dragged into an alleyway. He pulls out his handgun and moves slowly in the direction of the blood trail. He enters the alley to find a woman with a slashed throat, and a man in a mask (JtR) running away. D.I. Neeson gives chase.

The final scene involves a chase between the D.I. Neeson and Jack. When the inspector turns a corner, he finds that Jack has vanished. He stops and looks for a second, and suddenly Jack is behind him. Jack grabs him and cuts his throat, then vanishes into the night. The scene, and short film, ends with a voice-over of a news report on Neeson's murder, which says that Jack the Ripper is still at large. 


Updated version:

The Ripper starts with a voice over of a news report, while we see an office with Detective Inspector Neeson looking at evidence and newspaper clippings (time of original Jack the ripper and new) pinned on a wall. The news report basically says that a serial killer (identity unknown, only known as 'J'), is still at large. There would be short flashes of the murders threaded into the scene. Neeson notices that J's murders have a pattern starting to resemble a 'J'. Neeson announces to the rest of the department his findings, and that he believes the next town Jack will strike is probably Brighton. Neeson calls the Brighton's police department and explains to them the situation. D.I. Neeson goes to Brighton to help them.

The next scene happens 2 days later at night and it shows D.I Neeson investigating the area. A moment later, he hears a scream around the corner. He runs to the source of the sound, which he finds is behind a door. He pulls out his handgun and opens the door. He enters to find a woman with a slashed throat. A man in a mask (J), jumps out from behind a curtain, knocks the gun out of Neeson's hand and runs away. D.I. Neeson gives chase.

The final scene involves a chase between the D.I. Neeson and J. When the inspector turns a corner into an alley, he finds that J has vanished. Neeson moves through the alley slowly, and suddenly J comes out from his hiding place, stabs Neeson in the chest, then vanishes into the night. The scene, and short film, ends with a voice-over of a news report on Neeson's murder, which says that the murderer only known as J is still at large, while Neeson slowly dies.
