A Belfast Story

Chief Constable:
Three more bodies. It's an epidemic. If it wasn't for the remoteness of this god-forsaken place, we'd have the Press here, all over us.

Detective:
I know. I know. There's something I'm missing. But I will find them.

Chief Constable:
You miss the point, James. You speak as if we're operating in a vacuum. The fact that only some sort of miracle is preventing a general panic, has obviously eluded you.

Detective:
That is not happening because this time everybody knows that those being killed have blood on their hands.

Chief Constable:
Are they less entitled to our protection then?

Detective:
No. But they may be facing more than we're able to protect them from.
