[on TV] After hearing the guilty verdict, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Robert Strickland gave this reaction.

D A C Strickland:
It is hard to comprehend how a detective of McAdam's rank and experience could have deceived his fellow officers for so long.

Gerry Standing:

D A C Strickland:

Brian Lane:
Ouch.

Jack Halford:
Fifteen years.

Gerry Standing:
Pity the poor bastards who've got to sort that lot out.

Det Supt Sandra Pullman:
[holding a thick file] Yes, pity.

Brian Lane:
But it's nothing to do with us; those are all closed cases.

Det Supt Sandra Pullman:
All except this one.

Gerry Standing:
No way!

Det Supt Sandra Pullman:
You don't want to do it?

Jack Halford:
No.

Det Supt Sandra Pullman:

Brian Lane:
Felspar's. I must have drunk gallons of the stuff.

Gerry Standing:
We could have a *little* look.

Jack Halford:
Wouldn't hurt.
