In MM_05 most of the people in the house are waiting for the constables to arrive MM E5·00:02:39.

He tells everyone "The constabulary has arrived, and we will see justice done." MM E7·02:17:39. Brennan says there are three dogs and two cats among them, and one manacles Sylvester behind his back MM E7·02:17:18.
