Richard Connor : Don't worry, I'm not going to make any excuses. It was a dirty business, rotten right from the very beginning to the end. I'm not going to tell you I didn't know what I was doing but, for what it's worth, you were never a part of it. You've got to believe that. The rest of it was a masquerade but where you were concerned, it was real.
