From Hell

Prince Albert Victor, affectionately known as Prince Eddy, embarks on a secretive romance with Annie Crook, a shopgirl from the East End. Their clandestine meetings mark the beginning of a passionate relationship that will have dire consequences.

As their romance deepens, Annie gives birth to a child, the result of their passionate affair. However, this joyful event soon becomes a source of turmoil as the royal family's secrets threaten to unravel.

Queen Victoria discovers the affair and takes drastic measures to separate Prince Eddy from Annie. Her orders lead to severe repercussions for Annie, setting into motion a tragic chain of events.

Under Queen Victoria's commands, Sir William Gull is tasked to undermine Annie's mental health, resulting in her being institutionalized. This harsh fate further isolates Annie from her child and Prince Eddy.

The couple's child is sent to live with Annie's parents, an act overseen by Walter Sickert. Misunderstanding the situation, Annie's father feels shame over what he believes is a scandal connected to his daughter.

Annie's acquaintances, a group of prostitutes, learn of the royal scandal and devise a blackmail plan targeting Sickert. Their intention is to exploit the secret for their own gain, escalating the tension surrounding the affair.

Upon discovering the blackmail plot, Queen Victoria takes decisive action by ordering Gull to silence the prostitutes. This marks the beginning of a series of murders that will send shockwaves through London.

Sir William Gull, enlisted by the Queen, begins a grim murder spree in Whitechapel, fueled by his belief in an imagined Illuminati threat. His actions are veiled in a ritualistic justification, revealing his descent into madness.

During his murderous rampage, Gull mistakenly kills Catherine Eddowes, believing her to be Mary Kelly. This escalating violence shows Gull's unraveling psyche and the chaos engulfing London.

Gull coerces John Netley into writing the chilling 'From Hell' letter, which becomes infamous in relation to the Ripper murders. This act cements Gull's connection to the horrific events taking place in London.

Inspector Frederick Abberline begins a determined investigation into the Ripper murders but finds himself continually thwarted by the elusive killer. His inquiry reveals deeper connections to the royal scandal that complicate the case further.

Abberline and spiritual advisor Robert James Lees confront Gull about the murders, leading to a shocking confession from Gull. However, the Scotland Yard dismisses their findings, opting to protect the monarchy.

Gull is summoned before a Masonic council where he is declared insane and subjected to a mock funeral. This decision highlights the darker conspiracies at play to shield the royal family from scandal.

To divert attention from the true killer, the Freemasons stage Montague Druitt's suicide as a murder to frame him for the Ripper cases. This act further illustrates the lengths that the organization will go to protect their own.

Years later, Gull's spirit witnesses the emergence of serial killers throughout history, suggesting his impact on future crimes. His torment reflects an ongoing cycle of violence that haunts London long after his physical departure.
