- Charles Inglis: What's the latest on the coffee shop bomber?
- Sharon: Uh, we've got hold of some decent CCTV images. Um, I think we should release them to the press. Liz, can we?
- [Liz nods]
- Charles Inglis: Uh, SO15 need 12 to 20 more hours to work on the phone analysis. Why give the maniac a head start?
- Sharon: Uh, because, uh, we could get a positive ID in 20 minutes, not 20 hours, in time to stop him detonating another device and killing someone this time.
- Charles Inglis: A grainy photo of man in coffee shop. The only person who will ID that is the bomber, and he won't be calling Crime Stoppers, will he?
- Banjo: About the uh, pussies and the assholes. Thing is, mate, Tony's gay.
- Robbie: [scoffs] Yeah, right. What, him and the Black Arrows spend all night fucking each other with left-handed screwdrivers?
- Banjo: No joke, mate. For real.
- Robbie: Well, he don't look gay.
- Banjo: Yeah, well, they're not all Alan Carr Chatty Man.

- Caroline Carey: [recording] Hello, this is Caroline Carey. Please leave a message.
- Liz Garvey: [off-screen] Caroline, it's Liz. 5:35 a.m. Please don't use Richard's story. Call me. It's urgent.
- Charles Inglis: Bomber on the loose, police in turmoil, all over the front pages. Fucking great.
- Finn: It'd be a good day for the Queen to come out as gay and set herself on fire on The One Show. Tom, can you arrange that?
- Tom Oliver: Um...
- Finn: It's a joke. Look, I don't think this necessarily reflects badly on you. Some commentators are making a link that Richard was too preoccupied with personal issues and dropped the ball on the bomber.
- Liz Garvey: Who wrote that? I'll issue a rebuttal.
- Finn: We don't have time to issue rebuttals.
- Liz Garvey: We need to make time.
- Finn: Look, our job is to support the head of this force. Yesterday, that was Richard Miller. Today, it's Acting Commissioner Charles Inglis.
- Liz Garvey: We could not save his life, but we can save his reputation.
- Charles Inglis: What are you gonna do with his reputation once you've saved it? Put a hat on it? Stand it in the corner and ask it to make operational decisions?
- Finn: The fact is, Richard's affairs, the bomber, these are situations we inherited.
- Liz Garvey: Meaning what, exactly?
- Finn: Meaning, you can't libel the dead.
- Sharon: So we make ourselves look whiter than white while we load up Richard's plate at the salad bar of shame?
- Charles Inglis: I knew Richard better than any of you. He was one of my oldest friends. But Finn's right. We've got too much going on to focus on his legacy.
- Sharon: [pulling Liz into a vacant meeting room] Um, I can't, I can't do this. I, I just don't think I can do it. The, the knock.
- Liz Garvey: Okay, what... What is the problem?
- Sharon: Um...
- [sighs]
- Sharon: This is going to come as a shock to you, but Richard was a... He enjoyed the company of women... intensely. He and I...
- Liz Garvey: Oh.
- [last lines]
- Liz Garvey: Okay?
- News Reader: Thanks for coming in, Liz. Great to see you again.
- Liz Garvey: [shaking his hand] Thanks very much, Dermot.
- Finn: [watching Liz's news interview] She can crown herself the People's Princess for all I care. Her little Diana act doesn't mean shit.
