A Belfast Story Quotes
Chief Constable: Three more bodies. It's an epidemic. If it wasn't for the remoteness of this god-forsaken place, we'd have the Press here, all over us.
Detective: I know. I know. There's something I'm missing. But I will find them.

Detective: No. But they may be facing more than we're able to protect them from.
