"Law & Order: UK" Honour Bound (TV Episode 2009) - Bradley Walsh as D.S. Ronnie Brooks

Sara Fraser : How did this operation come about?

Ronnie Brooks : DS Valentine brought us a tip-off regarding a large amount of pure-grade heroin that was about to come into the country.

Sara Fraser : Why did he come to you specifically?

Ronnie Brooks : We both joined CID around about the same time. Worked alongside each other for several years.

Sara Fraser : Do you know him socially?

Ronnie Brooks : Is that relevant?

Sara Fraser : If I've asked you, yes.
Ronnie Brooks : I can't go in that witness box. It's complicated.

Matt Devlin : You're a copper, Ron. You live for this job, and they could charge you with perverting the course of justice. Be the end of you, mate.

Ronnie Brooks : I've admitted I've made mistakes, okay? And I've put 'em right. But I'm the best I can be now, Matt, truly, I am. So when do I get a break, eh? When do I get forgiven? I didn't take that heroin. You believe me, don't you?

Matt Devlin : Of course.
Ronnie Brooks : My old man used to say, 'There's no such thing as a friend. Friends will always let you down.' I used to look at him and think, 'What a miserable old bastard.' I'd argue with him and say, 'Dad, you're wrong, mate.' Huh, I'll tell you what, Matty, I bet he's looking down at me now, laughing his head off.

Matt Devlin : Look, Ron, it gives me no pleasure...

Ronnie Brooks : Jimmy Valentine bought my fish for me today, all right? It felt like he was buying me off.
