Not sure I’ll ever want to see more. It was really tough, but it wasn’t the murder per se, although the close images were not easy. What really weighed on me was the common cruelty of the ordinary people: the corrupted cops, the attitude towards women, the hipocrisy towards prostitutes (those who enslave them are respected businessmen, the prostitutes, young boys and girls, are subjected to disgust and ridicule and violence). It’s all known of course, same old same old, those with money are important even if they are walking-shits, while the poor people count for nothing. The world is not changed that much, in this respect, but right now I’m not strong enough to deal with this. I liked the Sara character and would have liked to see more of what it’ll be of her, but not enough to deal with what to every character is the ‘normal’ way of life.
1 - The boy on the bridge
It starts with a young boy who I think had a vision of something, or maybe he saw the corpse, I’m not really clear on that, but since nobody doubts him he probably saw it.
Dr Kreizler sends for John Connor (who can always be found in his favourite brothel) to do sketches of the crime scene and the body. A young boy prostitute has been killed in a horrible way, all cut and disemboweled. The captain of police is a disgrace (no surprise when later we see that he’s corrupted) but the commissioner seems to want to investigate. Still, the captain beats a confession out of a man convicted for another murder, but Kreizler is sure he didn’t kill the young boy. Commissioner Roosevelt refuses to give him the files on an old case he thinks is related, a boy and girl killed, the boy much the same way, but when Sara provides them with the file there is nothing relevant in there, so he has two people try an autopsy on the bones of the unearthed corpses.
