MB: Shut the fuck up. Don't appeal to me as a fucking woman. I'm a mother, all right? Those children have got to live with this. They're still alive. God, you make me sick.

TS: You don't know anything about me or Edward. Or you would understand.

MB: I understand that your husband was a paedophile and you made sure he had a ready supply of little boys and girls to rape and kill. Wow, you're a disgrace. Get better soon, because we're gonna be looking after you from now on, OK?

Jack takes a moment after she leaves.

MB: Do me a favour.

JW: Yeah.

MB: Apologise to me.

JW: What do you mean?

MB: Just show me what you look like when you're apologising. 'Sorry, boss,' something like that. It's a game. Just do it.

JW: Sorry, boss.

MB: Cos you weren't apologising, were you? When you went to Edward Shaffer's, and Justin was there to see that.

JW: Hang on, hang on. Hang on. l When I went to Edward Shaffer's, I said, 'Mr Shaffer, I want to apologise for the way I've behaved. I want to...'

MB: No. Hang on. YOU hang on, Jack. Don't try and hoodwink me, because I can see through it, because I know you, Jack. I've been watching you fuck it up! I mean, are you stupid?

JW: No, I'm not stupid.

MB: Let me describe a stupid cop to you. A stupid cop would be somebody who would take a piece of incriminating evidence and bung it into the bin of the prime suspect.

JW:  I didn't... Listen, I know it's been a fucking shit week for me, OK...

MB: Well, it's been a much shitter week for me.

JW: I thought I was doing what needed to be done.

MB: I've had to speak to the DPS, I've had to pull a few fucking favours, favours I was rather keeping for myself. God, you are standing right on the fucking edge and I've a bloody good mind to give you a shove instead of constantly holding your hand. So, HR have said to me that you have six weeks' holiday due. I suggest that you take them. Don't send me a postcard.

Scene 50 (  42.22 - end  )

Jack returns to the office visibly upset. When Charlie says they can finally go for a drink Jack replies no and "ask the boss" when she asks what is wrong. He grabs his coat and keys and leaves.

Love Martha's response to Tamsin in scene 46.  She was quite a piece of work.  

The ending.  WOW!  I honestly didn't see it coming.  As I said, when Martha told Charlie "we're only human", I thought for sure tensions were easing.  But when she told him to follower her and they went to the rooftop, I knew it was going to be bad...

Tamsin really was quite.....disturbing - her whole reaction....saying she was sorry, but she did it cos she really loved her husband...??!!?

 I think she was psychotic.  She's spent years justifying his actions.  Her involvement.
