(we have to tour the dark alleys looking for Jack the Ripper now; his location may be randomized so
your mileage may vary here. We need to find him in an alley and then chase him to the bridge. I
assume here that he turns up in the nearest dark alley)

(when we find him, a figure approaches -- with the rubber knife, we ether him and he's asleep)
E, N, E
(the Ripper awakes and runs toward the bridge)
GO BRIDGE
(he threatens to jump)
WAIT (or any other action here)
(he jumps, and the killings stop)
