One thing about Syndicate that always makes me cringe is that Aberline sent Jacob, someone he knew was an assassin and killed people both for a living and as a lifestyle, into the Bank of England to kill the guy who both runs the bank and is actively robbing it, and Jacob does more or less exactly what Aberline told him (depending on how you play it, and I like to think the "unique kills" are how it happens in canon, Jacob basically only kills the one guy and that's Twopenny, and then sneaks out). What did he think Jacob was going to do, take him up for tea? Yeah there's gonna be riots, uncertainty, and economic recession after it turns out the guy in charge of the Bank of England is literally robbing it.

The Return

@sonofirishseas

She had braved the long walk from the coast of Wales with her baby for company to enter the big city of London. She was hungry and very, very tired, but at least she had made it. The tiny girl was hungry too and made sure her mother knew it by squalling loudly.

Sapphire found an alley that was mostly deserted and sat on the ground to nurse her little one. Her baby girl, now six months old, fell asleep in her arms as she was filled from the milk that flowed from her mother’s breast. Poor thing didn’t even have a name yet. Her mum called her Lassie or Baby Girl or some such affectionate term. She just couldn’t remember the name of the woman she wished to name her for.

Frederick would tell her. As she headed through the richer part of the city to its dirtier, rougher neighborhoods, she couldn’t help but feel nervous. What if Frederick had sent her away because he didn’t want her? What if he didn’t want his own little girl? Would he turn her and the baby away and leave them to fend for themselves in that awful area of London known as White Chapel?

The closer she got to the Inspector’s rooms, the more frightened she became. Well, there was nothing for it now. She couldn’t turn back at this point. If he didn’t want her she’d have to give up her little lady to the orphanage and work the streets again. She still had her looks and her figure was back, only the swell of her breasts had changed and that should get her more customers.

Sapphire found the correct street and looked for Frederick’s flat. She almost walked right by it, she was so distracted by her thoughts. Some of the seedier residents of the city looked at her with disdain, even though she was relatively clean and dressed properly. Part of it could have been her being a negro, or maybe they were just curious.

Finding the right address, the dark-skinned beauty headed up the stairs. He should be home by now. The gaslights on the streets had been lit and the sun had faded from view. The working girls had all found their corners and were advertising themselves brazenly.

Sapphire paused at the door, fussing with her hair and gown. She knew she was wasting time trying to look her best, but the bedraggled former whore wasn’t ready for the door to open, her standing there trying to smooth out her dress.

“Sargeant Godley. I’m, I’m here to… here to see… to see…see Inspector Aberline.” She stumbled through her hurried explanation.

Abberline had not heard the knock at the door when it came. The Inspector, looking somewhat more morose and haggard these last few months and now sporting a bit of grey in his dark locks, was asleep in his chair. Still sleeping off a night of trying to drink away his misery.

Godley had only just readied himself to leave after checking in on the man. His poor friend. For all his brilliance and goodness, it seemed the man had no manner of luck at all. It was painful to lose one love to tragedy, it was double the heartbreak to lose his second chance. Godley found himself missing the street girl, to be truthful. It had taken him some time to warm to girl, certainly, never sure of her motives and perhaps overly protective of his friend. But she had brought life back into him that had been missing for years, and now without it, his life was dimmer than ever.

When the knock on the door came, the large man furrowed his brow at it, wondering who could be visiting at such an hour. It wasn't as if Abberline had many callers or friends. Perhaps it was a constable with some news and Frederick was needed on the scene. Godley glanced back at the sleeping man, shaking his head. Good luck with that.

He opened the door, prepared to send the person behind it away, only to stare dumbfounded at the woman on the other side. She stumbled through her quick introduction, clearly nervous. As the shock of seeing her there--as though he'd conjured her--began to fade he took note of the tiny bundle she was carrying and his eyes grew wider.

"Good god..." He reached and took her arm, guiding her inside. "Come in, come in. Quick now." He looked around, as if fearing someone had seen her, but there was no sign of anyone.

"How in blazes...Miss Sapphire. You are the last person I expected to turn up here for sure. You should be somewhere safe, far away from this damn city and--"

All the noise had roused the man in the chair, who sat up groggily and blinked at the figures in his parlor. There were circles under Abberline's eyes and his handsome features were a bit sharper with lack of care. He blinked several times before seeming to understand that the woman before him was not just a dream, no vision. He was on his feet instantly. "Sapphire?" he gawked.

Retrospective Rumours Sins Part Three Sins Of An Impatient King

Perry’s Retrospective Rumors: S2E3 - Sins of An Impatient King

Note: Some of the following is a fictional and romanticized version of true accounts and should not be held to historical scrutiny.

 With the word that antidepressants have been linked to 28 reports of murder and 32 cases of murderous thoughts, in cases referred to the UK medicines regulator over the past 30 years, we revel in wonder today. The BBC programme Panorama had its researchers discover a link between murders and antidepressants in cases referred to the MHRA. Professor Peter Tyrer, a psychiatrist at Imperial College London, has been assessing the performance of SSRIs since they were first introduced in the 1980s. Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale was the nephew of Queen Victoria and was as guilty of taking advantage of drugs pleasures as the next man. There is a theory that he sent a letter to his confederate in London to initiate the various stages of the culling of a degraded city. Postulations centre around him reassuring himself that the only difference between his friends and him was that he felt he was aware of the disgusting nature of modern industrialization and leisure. Eventually it would lead to the downfall of organic solidarity itself.  The letter is supposed to have contained instructions. Instructions containing the writing of a further letter to the press of London’s east end. Then it would go to Scotland Yard itself. It was a letter that would shock the world. Forever.

  In relation to the recent Panorama programme on the BBC, the question is how much of the awful instances are related to these drugs and how much to outside influences? The programme also looked into claims that the Batman movie killer James Holmes, who killed 12 people at a midnight premier cinema screening at Colorado in 2012, was taking the SSRIs sertraline at the time of the murders. The drugs he was taking seemed to remove his inhibitions it was found, eventually making him psychotic. Are we to look more closely at the effects popular fiction has on our postmodern drug made states as a result?

  It must be remembered though that such serial killings are made in thoughts and ideals long held within the mind of the public and even famous minds. The Krays for example are well known throughout history as being psychotic and pathologically insane; inparticluar Ronnie. If it was not for the well-known influence of their motherly upbringing we would never have got a decent handle on their fractured thinking. In the 1980’s the Hungerford massacre was all over the headlines. The understanding at the time was that he was schizophrenic as a result of motherly adoration and contempt for society of the time. His liking for hand weapons is thought of as stemming from social media that resulting in such behaviour as he showed.

  Philip Zimbardo, an eminent phycologist, hit upon the theory of what he called the Demonising Effect. In February 2008, he told of his theory on this further in Monterny, California, at a lecture entitled ‘What Makes People Go Wrong? In this he states that this depersonalisation effect was apparent in Iraq only a few years previously when military prisoners were abused by American soldiers to ‘soften them up’ for interrogation. This is just the same as deindividualisation by the main military environment. Can this concept be related to Stanley Milgram’s experiment examining obedience? Certainly there can be no similarity between the reality of human conflict and the stable environment of laboratory conditions. For one thing there is no historical motivation involved in the obedience experiment, and the time factors involved are so widely different that any comparison centres into the realms of fiction.

  His breakdown of identity through institutionalisation can be seen as quite a lot. In this particular instance he took female participants and asked them to deliver shocks to another girl as part of a learning experiment. One group of participants wore bulky clothing and hoods, which covered their faces and were not called by name but placed in a darkened room. So dehumanising them, making them numbers rather than people. The second group wore their normal attire as well as big name badges and placed in a brightly lit room. The shocks delivered by the hooded group were twice as severe as those given by the other group. Thus demonstrating the power of individuality. This power is particularly notable in one of the most famous cases of the 19) th.

  It was 1888 when letters were sent to the Central News Agency citing responsibility for one of the most outrageous crimes imaginable at the time. It read:

Dear Boss

So now they say I am a Yid when will they lern Dear old Boss! You an me know the truth dont we. Lusk can look forever hell never find me but I am rite under his nose all the time. I watch them looking for me an it gives me fits ha ha I love my work an I shan’t stop until I get buckled and even then watch out for your old pal Jacky.

Catch me if you Can Jack the Ripper

Sorry about the blood still messy from the last one. What a pretty necklace I gave her.

It is an interesting note but is it genuine? Some books written think that Jack wrote a diary and was in fact a wealthy, Liverpool merchant James Maybrick, but is not taken very seriously as this shows bias towards the sort of drama that the case has had for a hundred and twenty years and the need to look at other instances.

  The case for Mabrick being the Ripper seemed almost certain by Dan Farson in 1959, upon his discovery of a man who claimed to have remembered a pamphlet being distributed in Australia around 1890 entitled "The East End Murderer -- I knew him." Though there is very little evidence with which to prove his guilt. Peter Turnball in his book, The Killer Who Never Was has the idea that the Ripper was the product of simple sensationalism and mass circulation of the press. Of course the most famous of the lot, and an opinion that has been hyped and speculated on with increasing excitement is the involvement of Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale. Grandson of the reigning monarch, Queen Victoria. This opinion was examined by Dr. Thomas Stowell who, in 1970, published an article in The Criminologist called "A Solution".

  Again, drama rears its head. Stowell used the private papers of Sir William Gull as his primary source material and throughout his article, the killer is referred to as "S", but there is enough private evidence to identify the prince as his chief culprit. This is in dispute, especially as it is a proven fact that he was in Scotland at the time of Catherine Eddows murder at least. It must also be considered that he was of ill health at the time. He died in 1891-92 of the influenza epidemic of the time. He could of course have had an accomplice in the streets of London doing his work for him. A high contender for this instance being Montague John Druitt who was another such suspect and the second son of a medical practitioner. Though he was discovered drowned in the Thames river on December 31, 1888. However, in 1903 Detective Inspector Frederick Aberline stated to the Pall Mall Gazette "...Scotland Yard is really no wiser on the subject than it was fifteen years ago”.

  So we are left in the 21) st with an overwhelming sense of depersonalisation such as Zimbardo thought of all those years ago. As such many of get up in the morning and wonder why we don’t go out and commit such atrocities on a regular basis. Perhaps not. We don’t all need to wear a pretty necklace all the time or get others ‘bucked’ for our own amusement and retribution at the corrupt nature of the world around us. Do we? Fleeing from an honour that’s ours, acting our own small powers. Our history is left to stew.
