- [Det Supt Timmons is briefing his team about the investigation into Litvinenko's murder]
- DSupt Clive Timmons: We'll take this on. Not because we've promised a British citizen that's what we'd do - although we have. Not because we've got the backing of the best scientists in the world - although we do. But because it's our duty. Yes, there are unknowables. But dealing with unknowables - it's what you're good at. It's why I choose you to work here. That said. if there's anyone in this room that doesn't fancy this, you're welcome to step away. This is your chance. No judgement. No-one will hold anything against you. You have to speak up now.
- [he pauses - no-one gets up and leaves]
- DSupt Clive Timmons: Right. Don't fuck this up.
