- Finn: Don't worry. This PCSO idea is dead in the water.
- Charles Inglis: As soon as she says it.
- Finn: It's pre-killed. She's bringing home a brand new puppy, but I've already dug its grave.
- Sharon: [at a press conference] I personally believe in a new ere of openness, and that all Police Community Support Officers, who are, of course, they're drawn much more, uh, broadly from the black, Asian, and, um, minority ethnic populations. All of them, after a brief induction, should be made full police officers.
- Charles Inglis: [watching Sharon on television] Jesus Christ.
- [to Finn]
- Charles Inglis: So I don't say anything publicly?
- Finn: No need. You stay quiet. She's kicked the wasps' nest. Let's see how she likes it when a swarm comes and stings her up the wazoo.
- Charles Inglis: Alright, but take it easy. Final interview is tomorrow. I don't want this to explode.
- Tom Oliver: [to Finn] Just one question, this is from me, but is the wazoo, is that the front bottom or the back bottom? I never know.
- Finn: Really good question, Tom.
- Tom Oliver: Thank you.
- Finn: Yeah, why don't you Google it and fuck off out of my face.
- Sharon: Fucking bloodbath. They cut my belly open, pulled my entrails out, and showed them to me, we all had a bit of a laugh, and then I had to eat them while they watched.
- Tom Oliver: One always feels there's room for improvement in an interview process.
- Sharon: It was like there were three men watching me take the most difficult shit in the world.
- Mia: I'm sure it wasn't that bad.
- Sharon: I mean, why wasn't I aware? You were definitely told that would be informal?
- Liz Garvey: That is the impression I was given.
- Sharon: [sighing] Fuck, what just happened? I've been fucked, I've been sand-bagged. Maybe you can play rough.
- Tony: [after Warwick watches footage of Robbie's confession] I thought you'd wanna know.
- [sighs]
- Tony: Banjo fucked up. You got it right. I think you should make a statement.
- Warwick: Yeah?
- Tony: Get back on the team.
- Warwick: Uh... No thanks, mate.
- Tony: Buddy, we can have a word. You'll get reinstated and in a month... you'll... Why not?
- Warwick: 'Cause I don't like shooting people anymore. Turns out it don't feel very nice.
- Tony: Warwick, you were just doing the job, mate.
- Warwick: Yeah, I know. I did the right thing. Did the job.
- [sighs]
- Warwick: But you know what? It's not a very nice fucking job, and I ain't doing it anymore.
- Liz Garvey: So, we're looking at large scale disturbances in five of the boroughs and rising.
- Grant Delgado: Yes, the mayor could do with a frank, off-the-record assessment of what they're actually rioting for, Liz?
- Liz Garvey: Unfortunately, they haven't appointed a head rioter for us to negotiate with.
- Jeremy: Is it because of a lack of police on patrol?
- Liz Garvey: I think it's gathering its own momentum. Anger about the bin footage, the Karl Jeffries shooting, rumors about no cops.
- Mia: There seem to be some kids in Brent angry about the World Cup going to Qatar.
- Liz Garvey: It's all very, very combustible. I think we need visible leadership.
- Grant Delgado: We agree, and the Home Office and the Mayor's Office have agreed to accelerate the appointment of the new Commissioner following final interview.
- Jeremy: It's Hillary versus Obama. We're happy with either. We just have to convince the Home Secretary they have an iron grip. Granular detail.
- Grant Delgado: But we feel that Hillary is the reform candidate. I mean, what about that offer to use British Transport Police to arrest striking officers? Ballsy.
- Liz Garvey: Oh, you do love your procedures, don't you? Call a committee, put on the gloves, maybe they can tell you what's in front of your fucking eyes?
- Finn: So, we've seen it, big deal. Who knows if he's even telling the truth. What do you want us to do?
- Liz Garvey: Put it up. We give it to Gavin and we put it up.
- Finn: You are amazing. Just when I think you've gone to your most batshit MacBook-in-a-yurt-fucking-cuckoo, bang. You, you take it up a level.
- Liz Garvey: This is the perfect response to the garbage can footage. We will show you something ten times more damaging ourselves.
- Finn: We are just, just getting control of the city back. Do, do I need to read you the Riot Act? The last line is, Do not restart the fucking riot.
- [last lines]
- Charles Inglis: [at a press conference] Thank you for being here. I'm Commissioner Charles Inglis, and this is the Head of Communications, Liz Garvey.
- Liz Garvey: In a moment, we're going to be presenting some video material.
- Charles Inglis: We are taking the unusual, I think unprecedented step of bringing to light today material which suggests dishonorable behavior by one of our officers.
- [pauses]
- Charles Inglis: But firstly, can I say that we have seen disgraceful scenes...
- Mia: [watching with Finn] When this hits the streets, they are going to explode.
- Charles Inglis: ...And I will be bringing the full force of the law to bear on any future instances of public disorder. You are going to be seeing from this force a new era of transparency, but matched with an uncompromising challenge to lawlessness wherever it is found. Okay. Could you play the footage, please?
