Indeed, it's only been four hours since you left here. Oh, [and] deepest apologies for the, uh... rude awakening. Frederick Abberline: I suspect you enjoyed that.

Frederick Abberline: Give him to me. [Abberline throttles Sir Charles.] Sir Charles Warren: He'll be taken care of. I swear. Frederick Abberline: I want him.
