DS Sam Casey quotes from Law & Order: UK

He was trying to blend in. To get away. Like any other hit and runner.

CPS Prosecutor Jake Thorne

[quoting what Sam said about him in court] Not as smart as I let on?

Yeah. I quite enjoyed that...

DS Ronnie Brooks

Oh what I would have given to spend three years studying knowledge for knowledge's sake, Sam. That's a wonderful thing.

What are you talking about? You know loads of stuff...

DS Ronnie Brooks

Yeah, that's because I'm an autodidact.

The doctors have got that under control though, right?

DS Ronnie Brooks

What you got?

Looks like he had company [holds up a bra]

DS Ronnie Brooks

Or a secret he only shared at weekends.

There's a blouse here too, a couple of the buttons ripped off.

Maybe he got a bit rough... she didn't like it.

DS Ronnie Brooks

What? Then she produced a gun?

Beats pepper spray

It's too small for a pistol. Maybe an airgun?

DS Ronnie Brooks

Maybe, however a half naked woman running through London shouldn't take long to find.

You're not wrong...and in this weather... [briskly rubs his hands together] I hope he had warm hands.

The gift card was used to purchase a red lace chemise, size 10, whatever that is.

DS Ronnie Brooks

A chemise is a short nightie, my son.

Something you want to tell me, Ron?

DS Ronnie Brooks

Yep. You gotta brush up on your French. The first Mrs. Brooks wore a black lace chemise on our wedding night. She was a knockout as well.

[stalks out of his interview] All those people dead and you are wasting our time on the man that killed them!

You walk out now and you are making a big mistake.

Do I look like I give a toss?

DS Ronnie Brooks

Sam, just calm down... tell the Guv what you know-

Guv? He's not my Guv! [To Wes] Do you think it's that easy? I held that boy in my arms! I haven't slept for months! Everytime I close my eyes I see his face. I see his dad's face when I had to tell him that his son was dead! So yes, I went down there to see Tyler. I went down there to make him feel that pain. But do you know what? I couldn't do it. [breaking down] Because being a police officer came first. [To Ronnie] I swear to God, Ron. I turned around and I walked away.

It was a very slow walk because you were off camera for 10 minutes. [Sam looks helplessly at Ronnie as Wes steps forward] DS Casey, I'm suspending you pending further investigation. You can leave your warrant card with me.

Good. [forces the card into Wes' hand] GOOD! [stalks outside as Ronnie follows him]

DS Ronnie Brooks

[tries to run after Sam] Sam, wait!

What? He thinks... [paces] he thinks I'm some sort of nutcase!

DS Ronnie Brooks

But he doesn't know you!

But you do! What do you think?

DS Ronnie Brooks

I think you've been through a lot-

Oh Ronnie-

DS Ronnie Brooks

Sam! [gets him to turn round] what were you doing for those 10 minutes? [Sam breaks down and starts to cry] Just take it easy. You've got a young lad that needs you!

[crying] I know!

DS Ronnie Brooks

I can help you, and I will help you, but you've got to be honest with me. What did you do for those 10 minutes? [Sam takes deep breaths, trying to calm down] Come on, Sam, come on!

I wanted to go in there! I've already said, I wanted to go in there and tell him what he'd done! How it felt to hold a dying child in my arms because of him! How it feels everytime I kiss my boy goodbye! All I can see is that kids face - dead - in that train!

DS Ronnie Brooks

[gently] What did you do?

You wanna know what I did for those 10 minutes?

DS Ronnie Brooks

Yes.

I just sat down by that cell door and I cried like a baby.

DS Ronnie Brooks

[takes a deep, relieved, breath and comforts Sam as he starts to cry again] Alright, look. Come on... come on [pats his shoulder] I've seem many an officer with that look in their eyes, don't you worry about that. You're strong enough, son. You'll come through this! You're a good copper, Sam.

[pained] No, no I'm not.

DS Ronnie Brooks

You are. Just don't let all your good work end here. I need to know one thing. Did you see Tyler?

*sighs* No.

DS Ronnie Brooks

Ok.

I swear, Ronnie. I swear.

DS Ronnie Brooks

Well, noone went to his cell after you, except for his brief who found him. So Tyler must have already been dead when you went down there.

[sniffs] You believe me, don't you?

DS Ronnie Brooks

Yes [Pats his knee comfortingly] I believe you.

He had this big wad of notes and kept waving it around. I told him to put it away, there's plenty of crackheads, drunks and hookers that'd have your arm off for less around here.

And did he?

What?

Put the money away?

He just laughed, said "Just point me in the direction of the hookers!"

Is DI Chandler ever coming back?

DS Ronnie Brooks

She's looking after her mum. You'll get used to him (DI Wes Layton).

What, bonsais and all?

DS Ronnie Brooks

Well, you know what, mate? He may trim tiny trees, but he's still one of the good guys.

It's a keyless ignition, the fob has to be in the car.

DS Ronnie Brooks

Yeah [amused at the stupidity of the would-be car thieves] And all the time it was sitting in her purse no more than 2 feet away.

I begged her to get a restraining order, she was always too afraid of his reaction though.

Has he been here recently?

Last week? Charlotte had been trying to help him seek treatment as a condition of access to Holly. The cleaner he got, the more he could see her. Look, I hope I'm wrong but it really wouldn't surprise me if he had something to do with this. Especially since the arrest.

The arrest?

He was arrested for assault. Just a few weeks ago. Aren't you guys supposed to know stuff like this already?

DS Ronnie Brooks

Yes. We are.

Cause of death: acute intracerebral hemorrhage, compound fracture of the occipital bone.

DS Ronnie Brooks

[To Sam] So a whack on the back of the head to me and you.

Jumping off the bridge...?

Unlikely. If she'd hit her head on the way down, given the speed of the impact I wouldn't expect there to be much skull left.

[pulls a face] ... nice.

[After Ronnie has spoken in french to a suspect] Fluent French?

DS Ronnie Brooks

Still waters, Sammy. Still waters.
