Quotes 

• [DI Poole and Sgt. Thomson arrive at Lord Salcombe's estate] 

  DI Richard Poole : So how did a British policeman get mixed up with an aristocrat?

  Sgt. Lily Thomson : I don't know.

  DI Richard Poole : Then what was he like?

  Sgt. Lily Thomson : [at the front door, she rings the doorbell]  Who, Charlie? Fun. Not your typical Englishman. Charismatic, you know?

  DI Richard Poole : What do you mean by a typical Englishman?

  [Lawrence answers the door and Poole flashes his badge as Lily smirks at his stiff, official manner] 

  DI Richard Poole : Detective Inspector Richard Poole, Metropolitan Police.

  Lawrence : Ah, yes, come in.

• [Sgt. Lily Thomson has punched in a code to stop the alarm and unlock a panic room at Lord Salcombe's house, then cautiously stepped inside. Lord and Lady Salcombe are waiting outside with Lawrence when she rushes back out] 

  Sgt. Lily Thomson : Lawrence, call an ambulance! Now! Allez la!

  Lawrence : Not a problem!

  [Lawrence rushes off while Lily goes back inside the panic room, followed closely behind by Lord and Lady Salcombe. Inside, they find a dead man with a bullet hole under his jaw and clutching a small book] 

  Sgt. Lily Thomson : It's Charlie Hulme.

• [Sgt. Lily Thomson arrives at Lord Salcombe's house, as an alarm is ringing. She is met by Lawrence, the majordomo, who proceeds to escort her to the house] 

  Lawrence : We were having a party, then from nowhere, the alarm started blaring. Someone is locked inside the panic room.

  Sgt. Lily Thomson : Where is Lord and Lady Salcombe?

  Lawrence : Well, no one has seen them since the alarm went off.

  Lawrence : [as he and Lily approach the locked panic room]  I think you should know, just before the alarm, there was a gunshot. Everybody heard it.
