Penny Dreadful, Season 2

Victor:
If Proteus was any model to go by, she'll pick up language quickly. Even more quickly since I reduced the trauma of the electrical charge. It will come back to her. So too human interaction and, well, perhaps memory.

John Clare:
And then?

Victor:
I don't know. Proteus was just beginning to regain the memory of his former life, when you killed him.

John Clare:
You don't need to remind me of my sins. Just never forget your own.

Victor:
And this? Creating another sin?

John Clare:
Atoning for your first. All the love and companionship you denied me, visit upon her. She is our future, Creator. Tread carefully.
