Series 3 Episode 3
DC Jake Collier: Mr Mullery, DC Jake Collier. Have you got five minutes for a quick chat, sir?
Adrian Mullery: Now, you'll have my home address, but you decided to come here because you thought what? That I'd be embarrassed and gratefully duck into some car so no one saw?
JC: I just want to ask a few quick questions, sir.
AM: So a couple of hours ago, the head suggested that maybe I should take some leave. Some of the parents have been uncomfortable with the situation. And, of course, I could refuse because she has no legal right. But do you know what? I have spent the past years telling people that I wasn't even charged, that not one single piece of evidence could ever be found to incriminate me, that the lead detective retired just before a misconduct case could be brought against him. So I am knackered and I'll take the paid break, thank you very much. But what it also means is that I am not remotely f*cking embarrassed, mate. I'm not remotely embarrassed to stand here and tell you loudly, no, I will not talk to you. I will not sit in a car or a room or anywhere with you, voluntarily, ever. And if you want to arrest me, be my guest. But I'll not say another f*cking word to you. Not even, "No comment." Because I think the police are scum. I think you lie. I think you break the law. I think you take bribes and you sell stories. But worse than that, most unforgiveable of all, I think you're thick. I think your ranks are made up of dim-witted mediocrity who joined the force because they want power but they're too stupid to get employed anywhere else. So... shame on you... ..for the way you treated me.. ..for letting Hayley down so... catastrophically. And shame on you, DC Jake Collier... for becoming a police officer.
