Quotes 

• [standing over Reid's bed] 

  Ch. Insp. Fred Abberline : A simple question for you, Dr. Frayn.

  Dr. Amelia Frayn : Yes, Chief Inspector?

  Ch. Insp. Fred Abberline : Is this man currently alive?

  Dr. Amelia Frayn : He is not dead, sir.

  Ch. Insp. Fred Abberline : Then we have clarity.

  Cpt. Homer Jackson : He's shot through the abdomen, he's shot through the head, he shows no signs of consciousness.

  Dr. Amelia Frayn : It is why we have made no attempt to move him elsewhere. We fight the sepsis in his side. The bullet impacted the skull, the swelling there will be intolerable...

  Ch. Insp. Fred Abberline : Dr. Frayn... is he dead?

  Dr. Amelia Frayn : He is not, sir.

  Ch. Insp. Fred Abberline : You, American. Repeat what now she just told us.

  Cpt. Homer Jackson : He's not dead.

  Ch. Insp. Fred Abberline : Mr. Drake?

  [no response] 

  Ch. Insp. Fred Abberline : Mr. Drake, you look at him. Repeat the doctor's prognosis.

  Det. Insp. Bennet Drake : He is not dead.

  Ch. Insp. Fred Abberline : He... is not dead. This man now lies here because his sense of duty is greater than any other he holds. You may argue the toss of such wisdom, but the fact remains. Meantime, Inspector Drake, you will do him the honor of not debauching yourself while his streets burn. You, Yankee, this man yet lives, but there are others now dead awaiting us at Leman Street I would have your renegade eyes upon!
