Bergerac1981

[Jim offers to do a deal with Deffand to trade some information in return for Deffand not sacking Lomas for having an affair with a suspect]

Jim Bergerac:
You keep Lomas clean. You defend him. If anyone wants to sack him, you say "Let him who is without sin..."

Inspector Victor Deffand:
What do *I* get out of this deal?

Jim Bergerac:
The man who failed to answer the summons at the Royal Court. The magistrate has issued a warrant. I can tell you where to find him.

Inspector Victor Deffand:
Am I supposed to get excited?

[Bergerac beckons and Deffand grudgingly follows. Bergerac points to a name on Deffand's new white-board that lists all the cases which the department is working on]

Jim Bergerac:
You've had him in custody all the time. He can't attend court if you've got him locked up, can he? If I were you, I'd get down the court house and make your apologies as fast as you can before they figure it out for themselves, otherwise your name could be "Lucky".

Inspector Victor Deffand:
"Lucky"?

Jim Bergerac:
Lucky the judge doesn't jail you for contempt.

[Deffand looks utterly humiliated and Pettit tries hard not to smirk]
