Jacob & Nellie theory (hints)
A other hint to why Jacob and Nellie must of been closer then friends
1. Nellie and Jacob both disliked Mr Weverbrook if you looks close to the part when Nellie shouts to Jacob about the ripper killing taking a other victim you can see Nellie quickly looking at Mr Weverbrook for a second her face looks just as anyoed as Jacob was with him so this make me think that even Nellie knew about the letters he been publishing aswell but most of all feeling like the man treating her friends like dirt but also the same reason as Jacob making jack into a legend. (Also when Jacob and Nellie both stand close to eatchother and Nellie telling Jacob the ripper "He done it again " Mr Weverbrook shift his eyes from Jacob to Nellie like curious about them something going on with this assassin's and this unfortunate woman.
2. Jacob must of told Freddy about his close friendship relenship with Nellie and that she a ally so Fredrick abberline must of knew how close they were that he accepted it and that why the police let Jacob and Nellie through to see the crime scene of the ripper murders.
3. When Jacob turn around after looking at the dead woman (i think it was Lizzy he was looking at not sure lol ) but when he get up and turn around to look at Nellie he then turn his head looking at this journalist guy who seem to be looking at him at that why i think Jacob take her quicky away from Katy body and whispers to her about the promise he made to her so i seem that maybe he did not want the journalist to think he knows something about the ripper or to why he seem close to a unfortunate prostitute ( This is why i think after the time jacob first met Nellie him and her must of meet up in secret in a way no journalist or anyone could see them.
