Murray and Taggart in “Unfinished Business”

No joy?

No, none. Peter's gone to the bank to with the Balfours.

Are we taking any extra precautions?

The instructions have come through a box at Royal Terrace. We're gonna give Mike Balfour a two-way radio so he can communicate with us, dust the money down with UV powder. I believe they both want to go together this time.

I just hope Mike Balfour agrees to co-operate with you. [He sits at his desk] I spoke to the Press Association, gave them the story.

Why?

You know what it's like, Jim... one paper gets wind of it, there could be others. I'm not having a secret blown just because we were too slow in asking the press not to publish.

Well, how long will they maintain secrecy?

As long as the baby's life is in danger. It's a precaution, Jim. We need them on our side. [Taggart turns towards the door and starts to head out] There is one problem... [Taggart stops.] There was some speculation, not to say amazement, at you being in charge.

[Shrugs] An overreaction, sir.

Yeah, well, when this story does break, they'll make a big thing of it. If we fail...

We won't fail.
