[Sandra confronting Jack about the investigation into her father that led him to suicide]
So, Jack... you knew my dad? You investigated him and then he killed himself. So, all those years ago when you have me my break in the Murder Squad that's because you believed in equal opportunities was it? Cos you really rated me as a detective regardless of what everyone else thought.
Yes-
[angry] Bollocks!
Guv'nor, shall we just calm down?
All those years, you never said one word. You lied to me.
I never lied.
[shouting] You lied by omission! Just because you didn't speak his name doesn't mean you weren't lying!
Sandra!
No! You lied to me and then you drove-
Your father killed a man. He killed a small-time pimp called Ian Randle in Canning Town. And he covered it up. I never told you and I never told your mother. There you are. Now you know. Your father was a good detective, very good. But he made a mistake, it might even have been accidental. But the cover-up wasn't. Anyhow, shortly before I was due to arrest him, I let him know that I knew. Because I thought he deserved that much. That was my mistake. And I'm sorry.
I don't believe you. I don't believe he was capable of that, because I knew him and I knew what he was like. He didn't do that?
