FRFrederick Redpath
My name is Frederick Redpath. It has been for the last eleven years.
Get on with it, Lewis!
Detective Chief Inspector Dawson, I'm arresting you for the murder of John Mitchell. You do not have to saything, but anything you do say may be given in evidence.
I think you could have let her win the chess, Sir.
That's the worst kind of deception, Lewis
That badge of yours. Why did you keep it?
Vanity, I suppose. It was my first public speech.
Did you win?
No. We lost.
[Enquiring after the chain-smoking female priest] Who, cigar and cassock?
She's a bit, you know ... holier than thou ...
She IS a bit holier than thou, Lewis!
SSister
And what, may I ask, are you doing with my patient?!
Thames Valley Police. My name's Chief Inspector Morse. (shows warrant card)
SSister
Am I supposed to be impressed?
I'm making a few enquiries...
SSister
Then you can make them to thin air - outside the gate!
I could compel you to comply.
SSister
You ridiculous man! I'd like to see you try. I am commanded by a higher authority than the Thames Valley Police!
She lied to you, Sir.
