Quotes

Matt Devlin : You don't reckon CPS got it wrong, do you?
Ronnie Brooks : Well, don't get ahead of yourself, mate. Hindsight makes things look very simple. If I knew nine years ago what I know now...
Matt Devlin : Yeah, what?
Ronnie Brooks : Well, I'd still be too stupid to do anything about it.
Matt Devlin : Thank you, Confucius.

Ronnie Brooks : Did you ever have a metal detector?
Matt Devlin : No, a pogo stick. The metal detector kids were the nerds.

[reviewing the evidence of Luke Slade's first trial]
Ronnie Brooks : Okay, we've got two witnesses living abroad, one dead, and another couple who can hardly remember the details of their story.
Matt Devlin : If someone asked me what I was up to nine years ago, I'm not sure I'd have the full picture.
Natalie Chandler : Come on, boys. We've got to do better than this.
Matt Devlin : Yes! How's this for better? Slade's girlfriend made a statement to the original investigation about her car, which Slade used to borrow. Slade sold it for her a couple of days after Ackroyd's disappearance. The original investigation never managed to trace it, but I have.
Natalie Chandler : Slade could have used the vehicle to move the body.
Ronnie Brooks : Maybe if we can get it forensicated.
Matt Devlin , Natalie Chandler : "Forensicate" isn't a word.

Watchmaker : [examining the victim's watch] Ah, this brand, they all have a code - two letters and two digits. Now, the letters give you the month; the digits give you the year. Now... this was manufactured in June 1978.
Ronnie Brooks : Yeah, that's very good, sir, but we was hoping you might be able to tell us who the owner of the timepiece was, you see.
Watchmaker : Oh, have patience, patience. You know what happens when everything is a rush?
Ronnie Brooks : No.
Watchmaker : People accept shit.
