Det. Insp. Bennet Drake
- Det. Insp. Bennet Drake: I have nothing to give Whitechapel, Rose. And Whitechapel has nothing to give no man. It is a place where good and precious things are broken and hope is made a phantom.
- Rose Erskine: You're wrong. There is something good and precious here, which is not broken. Which cannot be.
- Det. Insp. Bennet Drake: No, Rose. No, girl, this ain't... you're to be married. And I... the villainy I wade through, my daily toil. It is lies and treachery and ruined hearts. And I would see you protected from that, Rose. I would see you kept safe from the sad havoc of this world. I will not bring my ruin upon you.
- Rose Erskine: You do not bring ruin! You bring hope. You were naught but hope and life. You saved me, the first time I ever laid eyes on you. That's who you are to me. Who you'll always be.
- Sgt. Donald Artherton: The job, though. Will you take it?
- Det. Insp. Bennet Drake: There is a darkness in this place, my friend. "An abyss," Mr. Reid called it. And it can take from a man all he holds in his heart. As long as he walks these streets, it will surely find him and swallow him.
- Sgt. Donald Artherton: I don't pretend to know too much of honour, except we do our best to walk through the fire, holding on to whatever scraps of it we can. But I know this: you, Bennett Drake, have more than most. And you of all men may yet make it out of this life alive.
