Month 	Day 	Event(s)
August 	31 	Sarah Bain is at the River Thames to take pictures of the sunrise when the satchel holding her miniature camera is stolen by Mick O'Reilly. On her walk back home, Sarah sees Mick standing at the edge of a crowd. She attempts to take the satchel back when a policeman sees them fighting over the satchel. Sarah pretends that nothing is wrong, letting Mick take off with the satchel. The policeman is relieved that there is not any trouble for there has been a murder. Sarah recognizes the victim as Polly Nichols, but does not tell the policeman out of self-protection.
Sarah interviews a few Buck's Row residents to see if she can establish a connection between Martha's murder and Polly's. The residents she talks to are not able to help, so she decides to return home. Mick finds her and gives her the satchel. He walks with her to her home where he loiters at the doorway. Sarah invites Mick in, feeds him, and answers his questions about her studio and her father. Once he has finished his meal, Mick leaves. Shortly thereafter, Police Constable Thomas Barrett enters Sarah's studio. He asks her questions about Polly's death and if she knew the streetwalker. Sarah finds herself attracted to PC Barrett. She lies to protect herself, but her nervous behavior makes PC Barrett suspicious. PC Barrett warns her that he will give her trouble if he finds out she lied before taking his leave.
Locking the front door, Sarah goes into the darkroom and looks at the boudoir photographs she took of Kate Eddowes, Annie Chapman, Mary Jane Kelly, and Liz Stride. When she leaves the darkroom, a knock at the door startles her. She opens it to find Abraham Lipsky asking if she can takes pictures. Carrying her equipment between them, Sarah follows Abraham to his apartment where his wife, Rachel Lipsky, and a coffin holding their recently deceased daughter awaits. Sarah- overwhelmed by the events of the day- faints before she can take a picture of the daughter. Rachel tends to Sarah and the conversation that follows after Sarah wakes up reaffirms her decision to not approach the police.
Sarah decides to warn her models about the danger. She fails to find Kate but does stumble across a pair of men, one of whom is blond, in the middle of having intercourse. She does manage to find Liz and Mary Jane, but they brush off her warnings. Mary Jane tells Sarah where Annie is. Sarah goes to Annie and while Annie is more receptive to Sarah's warnings, she cannot stop haunting the streets due to needing the money. Catherine Price is also indifferent towards Sarah's warnings, but offers to show up at Sarah's studio in the next morning.
September 	1 	Mick shows up at Sarah's studio with several copies of that day's newspaper. Sarah buys one while Mick inhales some breakfast. The newspaper contains information related to Polly Nichols's inquest. Catherine arrives shortly thereafter and is repulsed by Mick's filthy appearance, making him feel ashamed enough to leave. Further warnings by Sarah fall on deaf ears, and when she learns that Sarah is going to the inquest, she invites herself along. 
Next to the building where the inquest is being held, Sarah and Catherine bump into Lord Hugh Staunton who Sarah recognizes as the blond man from the hotel. Hugh makes a hasty retreat, much to Catherine's annoyance. And much to Sarah's annoyance, PC Barrett is also there. He gets them into the inquest where they learn that the police have not caught the killer and most likely will not any time soon.
September 	4 	Worried and restless from inaction, Sarah walks to St. Botolph's Church, a popular hangout for streetwalkers, to see if she can find her models. None of them are there, but she does learn that Kate is still alive and where she lives. Sarah goes to Kate's apartment where Kate and her companion, John Kelly, are trying to sleep. Much like the other streetwalkers, Kate does not heed Sarah's warnings, but she does imply that she might know something related to the murders. The conversation turns into a scuffle, igniting Kate's temper and leading John to throw Sarah out of the apartment.
September 	6 	After developing satisfactory pictures of the Lipsky's daughter, Sarah walks to Spitalfields when she comes across a funeral being held for Polly Nichols. Thinking the killer might be there, she is about to take a picture of the crowd of mourners when she sees PC Barrett through the viewfinder. PC Barrett runs after her, but Sarah manages to escape him. Instead, she bumps into Hugh yet again, though at that point they are both more amused than upset. They quickly develop a friendly rapport over tea. Hugh takes Sarah to Spitalfields via carriage so she can drop of the pictures. Once the Lipskys have the pictures, Sarah and Hugh arrange a tea gathering; Sarah will invite Catherine and they will give her a false story as to how they met.
September 	8 	While getting pastries for the tea gathering, Sarah overhears that Annie Chapman was murdered. She goes to the scene of the crime where a teenager tells a group of people for a fee about the state of Annie's body. Annie was killed in a similiar manner to Martha and Polly, but, in Annie's case, her body was mutilated.
On her home street, Sarah bumps into PC Barrett who introduces her to Inspector Reid. Reid ushers her into a cab, PC Barrett joining them. As they ride in the cab, Reid tries to elicit information from Sarah, who lies or claims ignorance. Though frustrated by her obstinacy, Reid does eventually let her go. 
When she reaches her studio, Sarah sees Catherine and Hugh already waiting in front with Abraham and Rachel arriving shortly after she does. Inside the studio, Sarah is coaxed by Hugh into telling them what happened with Reid. This leads to her showing them all the boudoir photographs and telling her newfound friends about her theory that the Ripper is selecting his victims through them. Mick arrives shortly after at that moment. Sarah catches him up to speed, and all of them come up with a plan of action: they will find out who bought Sarah's photographs, Abraham acting as Catherine's bodyguard in the meantime.
September 	10 	John Pizer, better known as Leather Apron, is arrested on suspicion of being the Ripper.
Sarah and Mick travel to Holywell Street taking Sarah's camera equipment with them. They visit a couple bookstores, but none of them sell albums with Sarah's boudoir photographs. Their search captures the attention of Mr. Russell, who invites them inside his store. The album he shows them is filled with Sarah's pictures. Sarah and Mick attempt to steal the album and others like it as well as the store's ledger, but they have to flee before the police come. Instead, they set up the camera in an adjacent alleyway to capture images of any customer that buys an album. Mick takes a photo of a woman and goes to follow a man to his home. Sarah takes a picture of carriage.
When Mick returns from trailing the man, Sarah and Mick return to Sarah's studio. Hugh is already there. Sarah and Hugh develop the negative plates then the photographs. Mick joins them to look at the pictures. The one Mick took of the woman is clear enough for them to get a general idea as to her appearance. Hugh identifies the coat of arms on the carriage as one belonging to the Duke of Exford. These pictures are not enough evidence in and of themselves, so Sarah comes up with a plan.
September 	11 	Sarah, Hugh, and Mick meet up in Sarah's studio at eleven o'clock. Taking her camera equipment with them, Sarah, Hugh, and Mick walk to the mortuary where Annie's body is being housed. By a combination of manipulation and bribery of the mortuary keeper, Hugh gets them access into the building where they set up the camera. Mick opens Annie's eyes while Sarah takes a photo of her face. On impulse, she positions the camera to take a full body shot. When they develop the photographs at the studio, the close up of Annie's face does not show anything useful, but Sarah notices in the full body shot that Annie's hand is bare of any brass rings.
September 	12 	Sarah and Barrett separately attend the first meeting of the Mile End Vigilance Committee. The Committee's president, George Lusk, collects reward money from the attendees. When the meeting is over, Sarah starts walking home when a mugger tries to steal her purse. Barrett scares off the mugger then joins Sarah on her walk. The attraction between them reaches a tipping point when they kiss and begin to make love. However, the thought of her dead models puts a damper on the proceedings so she has them stop.
September 	13 	In the early morning, Sarah is visiting some local shops when she overhears Barrett talking to Inspector Reid about the Committee meeting. She learns that Barrett was ordered to seduce Sarah in order to get information from her. Upset and ashamed, Sarah returns to her studio where she stays for the day. 
At nine o'clock, Catherine arrives at Sarah's studio. Mick stops by but does not stay for long. 
As Sarah makes dinner, Catherine brings up Hugh. Hugh himself shows up shortly thereafter. He plans to crash a costume ball that the Duke of Exford is holding. Catherine wants to go with Hugh, but both he and Sarah firmly deny her the chance. She exits the studio in tears.
Donning the costumes Hugh brought, Sarah and Hugh travel by carriage to the Duke's mansion. They find evidence that the Duke is an amateur artist and into bondage, but not that he is the Ripper.
September 	14 	Mick shows up at Sarah studios for lunch. Sarah tells him about the ball. He offers to show Sarah the house of the man he trailed, which she agrees to. Taking her miniature camera with her, Sarah follows Mick to the house. They learn from a neighbor that the owner is named Mr. Smith and that he keeps odd hours. Mick breaks into the house and, after making sure it is indeed empty, lets Sarah in through the back door. Upstairs, they find a room with a picture of an army man standing next to several corpses of mutilated African woman, newspaper clippings about the Ripper murders, Annie's brass rings, and boudoir photographs by a different photographer. Sarah takes pictures of each of the first three items.
Later at Sarah's studio, Sarah and Mick develop the photographs. Elated by the acquisition of such conclusive evidence, Hugh invites the Lipskys and Catherine to Sarah's studio where they all celebrate. Sarah takes a group photo of them all gathered around her kitchen table.
Hugh arranges to bring his lawyer with him the next morning.
September 	15 	A half hour before Hugh and his lawyer are set to arrive, a pair of police constables show up at Sarah's studio. They arrest her on the grounds that she is obstructing police inquiries before taking her to Newgate Prison. She waits for hours alone in a cell before Chief Commissioner Charles Warren. She recognizes him as the army man, confirming to her that he is the Ripper. It is clear from his questions that he is worried she knows about him, and threatens her to stop investigating or he will hurt her friends.
Once released from Newgate, Sarah tries to go back home, but is so stressed that winds up back at the prison. Barrett sees her and the two of them walk back to Sarah's studio. Once inside, they talk about the conversation Barrett had with Reid, and Sarah shows him the photographs she took inside Warren's home in order to convince Barrett that the Commissioner is the Ripper. Barrett does not want to believe Sarah, grabbing the photographs and leaving the studio just after Hugh, Catherine, Mick, and the Lipskys burst in.
Sarah explains her trip to Newgate to her friends and what happened with Barrett. They decide that their next course of action is to trail Sarah's models. Abraham will continue being Catherine's bodyguard while Sarah, Mick, and Hugh will disguise themselves and keep an eye on the other models. They begin enacting this plan that night, Sarah trailing Mary Jane Kelly.
September 	16 	Sarah trails Kate Eddowes while in male disguise.
September 	17 	Sarah trails Liz Stride while in male disguise.
September 	18 	Sarah is making breakfast when a friend of Mick's stops by to inform her that Mick is at the Hospital for Sick Children. When she arrives, Mick is being fed by a nurse. In front of the nurse, Mick lies about how he got his injury. When the nurse leaves, he explains that he was thrown into the Thames.
September 	18 to 20	Sarah and Hugh take turns shadowing Liz Stride, Kate Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly.
September 	21 	Sarah returns to her studio in the morning to find Hugh, battered and bloody in female dress, on her doorstep. She helps him upstairs and begins tending to his wounds when her landlord knocks on her door. When she answers, the landlord accosts her then leaves. Catherine saw what happened and follows Sarah upstairs. She learns about Hugh's sexual orientation and that the landlord threatened Sarah. Catherine dons Hugh's costume then exits the studio. Sarah and Hugh meet Catherine in an alley where she waits in a cab. The cab takes them to Hugh's home where Sarah and Catherine help Hugh past some reporters and into his home.
September 	22 	Sarah reads in the newspaper that the suspect PC Barrett mentioned will be released. On the next page, she sees a short article regarding a raid on homosexual party. Though it does not confirm that Hugh was in attendance, the insinuation alone will destroy his reputation. 
Later that night, Abraham shows up at Sarah's studio to inform her that Catherine is evading him. They search for her but cannot find her.
September 	23 	Jane Beatmoor is found dead on a railway siding south of Newcastle. Her death resembles that of the Ripper's victims, suggesting that the Ripper has moved on from Whitechapel. 
Abraham and Sarah continue their search for Catherine, but the actress proves evasive.
September 	24 	Abraham and Sarah continue their search for Catherine, but the actress proves evasive.
September 	25 	Catherine appears alive and well at Sarah's studio. She shows Sarah the article about Jane Beatmoor's death, believing the theory that the Ripper is no longer in Whitechapel. Sarah snaps at Catherine for being foolish, which hurts the actress's feelings, leading to flee the studio. 
Sarah travels to Spitalfields in the evening to visit the Lipskys. George Lusk is interrogating Abraham, accusing him of being the Ripper. Lusk only leaves when Abraham looses his temper. Sarah apologizes to the Lipskys; she wants them to take themselves out of the investigation and to stop associating with her. The Lipskys refuse.
September 	26 	Sarah goes to Hugh's house to check how he is doing. She learns that Hugh has been kicked out of his parent's home, and now lives on Argyle Square with his valet, Fitzmorris. Hugh's spirits have taken a huge hit, leaving Sarah to realize that she is now on her own.
That night, Sarah follows one of her models.
September 	27 	Sarah follows one of her models late at night.
September 	28 	Sarah shadows Mary Jane Kelly.
September 	29 	Sarah follows Liz Stride while in male disguise. Liz takes a customer into a yard, Sarah stopping to wait at the yard's gate. She dozes off and wakes up to realize Liz and her customer are still in the yard. When she enters the yard, she sees Liz's body propped up against a building. She was killed in the same way as the other streetwalkers, but Sarah knows that it could not have been Warren; the customer was of the wrong build.
Sarah is kept from surveying the yard and Liz's body further due to a police whistle going off. She runs to Mitre Square where she finds some policemen, an ambulance wagon, and a police surgeon. They surround the corpse of Kate Eddowes, her throat having been cut. The body was found about half an hour ago. The distance between Dutfield's Yard and Mitre Square is too great for the Ripper to have killed Kate then killed Liz.
