Ben Daniels credited as playing...
Senior Crown Prosecutor James Steel
- Robert Ridley QC: We'll never know why Garvey shot himself, unless you can communicate with the dead.
- James Steel: Well, I am a man of many talents, Robert.
- Alesha Phillips: Another satisfied member of the James Steel fan club. What do you that winds these people up?
- James Steel: Oh you know... breathe.
- James Steel: I made a few gentle inquiries, George. If the Cardinal misunderstood my tone, that's not my problem.
- George Castle: Gentle inquiries? His exact words were 'bully boy techniques, veiled threats and libelous accusations'.
- James Steel: That doesn't sound like me.
- George Castle: That's about par for the course to me
- [Alesha is snickering in the background]
- Father Aiden Browne: [discussing a former priest who is on trial] He had wanderlust.
- James Steel: With the greatest respect Father, I think his lust was of a very different sort.
- Robert Ridley QC: Scottish expert witness? It always plays well with the jury. I don't know how I'm going to bounce back.
- James Steel: Don't sell yourself short, Robert. I'm sure you or one of flying monkeys are already cooking up a way for Nugent to wriggle out of this.
- George Castle: We lost the last hand, and they hold all the cards.
- James Steel: So let's call their bluff. We'll threaten to hit them where it hurts-in their pockets. We'll say Harry Lucas is going to bring a civil suit against them just like in Ireland and if that happens, it'll cost them millions.
- George Castle: And if they don't fold?
- [James looks at him with a poker face]
- James Steel: Remind me NEVER to play you in poker.
- Robert Ridley QC: [In the CPS office] This place gives me a migraine
- James Steel: That'll be your conscience gnawing at you, Robert.
- George Castle: Do you know what I am doing tomorrow James? I am accounting to the Chief Exec of the CPS for every penny spent on failed convictions. It's Saturday tomorrow, James. I like Saturdays - my wife insists on them.
- James Steel: So you want us to come back at the start of the next financial year?
- George Castle: Don't be a smart ass.
