Hidden (TV Mini Series)

Episode #1.2 (2011)

Philip Glenister: Harry Venn

Quotes 

• Sir Nigel Fountain : I go on first impressions, Mr. Venn. Some people say that's foolish, but I'm rarely wrong. I suspect it's probably the last thing you'd want anyone to think about you, but I'd say you were an honest man.

  Harry Venn : How dare you.

  Sir Nigel Fountain : [laughs, then pauses]  Gina is vulnerable.

  Harry Venn : That's not how she strikes me.

  Sir Nigel Fountain : Oh, I know, she's tough, but the two things aren't incompatible. For personal reasons, and things in her past, she's, well, she has a susceptibility to lost causes. She's always looking for dragons where there are none to slay. The wrong type of person could take considerable advantage of that quality.

  Harry Venn : Are you talking about Quirke or me?

  Sir Nigel Fountain : Well I don't think Quirke is in a position to take advantage of anyone.

  Harry Venn : Hang on, you just said I was honest.

  Sir Nigel Fountain : That's what I'm counting on.

• Gina Hawkes : [answering her mobile]  Oui.

  Harry Venn : Well, if we're doing this in French, it's gonna be a very short conversation.

  Gina Hawkes : I trust you're calling me to let me know that you found Joe Collins.

  Harry Venn : Yeah, I like it that you trust me, Gina. Shows we're getting closer.

  Gina Hawkes : Have you, have you not found Joe Collins?

  Harry Venn : I have not. I ran into a bit of a problem.

  Gina Hawkes : What problem?

  Harry Venn : The explosive kind. My office blew up.

• DI Fenton Russell : Shame.

  Harry Venn : Yeah, well you know, I've got insurance, so uh...

  DI Fenton Russell : No, no, shame you weren't in your office when it exploded.

  Harry Venn : [to Michael]  This is Mr. Russell. Me and him go quite a long way back. He likes his little jokes.

  DI Fenton Russell : Actually, no. When it comes to cop killers, I have no sense of humor at all.
