LUTHER (pulling back slightly)
It’ll melt.
TELLER I have absolutely no doubt. Luther kills the flame. Waits for Teller’s answer. TELLER It’s not enough. LUTHER Come on! The gun was in the dog! TELLER Section 8, Police and Criminal
Evidence Act. A Magistrate “may issue a warrant authorizing the search of a premises provided there are reasonable grounds for believing the location contains material with substantial evidentiary value”. It’s my assessment that saying “the gun was in the dog” will not be judged by the issuing Magistrate to have met those criteria. LUTHER It’s in there. On her mantelpiece! TELLER Even if that were true, there’d be no evidence that Alice Morgan touched it, let alone fired it. We need more. Trace the gun, put it in her hands. LUTHER It won’t be traceable. She doesn’t leave evidence - just an evidence- shaped absence. TELLER And everything else aside, that just infuriates you, doesn’t it. LUTHER She kills her mum and dad, she walks. She threatens Zoe’s life, we can’t touch her. This is Zoe we’re talking about - who sat at home with your kids the night your dad died. TELLER So take the chilly bitch down. But slow down, calm down, find another angle.
