START: If you think you can bring any pressure to bear upon me, Inspector, you’re quite mistaken. Unlike the other three, I did nothing I’m ashamed of or that won’t bear investigation.
[...]
END: And in spite of what’s happened to the girls since, I consider I did my duty. So if I prefer not to discuss it any further, you have no power to make me change my mind.
