Amanda Redman: Det. Supt. Sandra Pullman

Quotes 

• Det. Supt. Sandra Pullman : Jack, can I have a word?

  [pause] 

  Det. Supt. Sandra Pullman : You told Danny Branston that we had an informant.

  Jack Halford : I told him Nick Kellogg gave him up, that Nick told us Danny had given him the gun.

  Det. Supt. Sandra Pullman : That was a lie.

  Jack Halford : [Smiling]  Well, prefer the word diversion.

  Det. Supt. Sandra Pullman : You put Kellogg's life on the line, more than likely he'll have a contract out on him now.

  Jack Halford : So what?

  Det. Supt. Sandra Pullman : [Furious]  SO WHAT?

  Jack Halford : Yes. If it means that Eve Branston is now completely out of the picture. That she's not under suspiscion. That she won't even have to appear in the witness box...

  Det. Supt. Sandra Pullman : You have absolutely no right to take that risk.

  Jack Halford : And what right did you have making promises to Eve Branston that you couldn't possibly keep. You told that girl she'd be safe. Safe? From a guy that slaps her about every other week? From an underworld armourer as connected as he is?

  Det. Supt. Sandra Pullman : She gave us the information we needed because I sai...

  Jack Halford : No! She gave us that information in spite of what you said. She told us because she knew that piece of shit had killed the love her life. I have given her the best protection she could hope for and if you think I'm going to lose any sleep over someone like Nick Kellogg then you really don't know me at all.
