INT. 22 TENTER STREET/ BEDROOM - DAY 1/95 LONG SUSAN throws the doors of the brothel open for -- DRAKE. ROSE carried effortlessly in his arms. Behind him - JACKSON, his arm bound, and the two other girls. LONG SUSAN This way. DRAKE - sweeping up the staircase. Looks down - sees ROSE’S beautiful green eyes gazing up at him, her rescuer. He smiles for her. Pushes into this room and lays her on the quilted bed. Stays with her a moment, as -- ROSE I thought - at last, the Ripper gone - I thought it was safe again. DRAKE Sssh. It is now. ROSE Your name..? DRAKE Bennet. Bennet Drake. (a beat) It is my great pleasure to make your acquaintance, Miss Rose. And in that moment DRAKE binds himself to Rose. He is hers forever. LONG SUSAN stopping JACKSON in the doorway -- LONG SUSAN You see to her. If she is hurt, you make her well again. And JACKSON approaches the bed. JACKSON Thank you, Drake. I’ll tend to her now. DRAKE - a regret. A nod. He backs, blushing from the room.
