Foyle's War (TV Series)

The German Woman (2002)

Honeysuckle Weeks: Samantha Stewart

Quotes 

• Samantha Stewart : Yes, but... she was a German.

  DCS Christopher Foyle : Well, that doesn't matter at all. She's a human being, and she was murdered. Murder is murder. You stop believing that, and we might as well not be fighting the war. Because you end up like the Nazis.

• Samantha Stewart : [Sam is treating a wounded civilian]  It's all right, it's not broken, it's all to stop the bleeding.

  DCS Christopher Foyle : That's a very good job.

  Samantha Stewart : They taught us basic first aid in the MTC, my instructor said he'd rather bleed to death, than be bandaged by me.

• Samantha Stewart : Can I ask you something? Were you tempted to let him go? I mean, even for a moment?

  DCS Christopher Foyle : Yes, I was. Yeah... I mean, hanging him is probably not going to do anybody much good, and I suppose he had a point...

  Samantha Stewart : But...?

  DCS Christopher Foyle : In the end, I'm a policeman, I'm here to do a job. It's simple as that. If I start bending the rules, I might as well pack it in!

• Samantha Stewart : So, what are you investigating? I hope it's something juicy like a spy ring or a grisly murder.
