Matt Bardock: Wilson

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Supt. Sandra Pullman : Hannah Taylor, eighteen. Abducted from her home on the second of April, 1992. Two days later her mother received a ransom demand for twenty thousand pounds. The ransom was paid, but Hannah wasn't returned.

  Wilson : Three weeks later, Michelle Davis, nineteen; she's abducted as she returns home after a night out with friends. Neither girl's seen nor heard of again. Hannah and Michelle lived five streets apart. There's no evidence to suggest that they knew each other.

  Supt. Sandra Pullman : But, given the geography and the M.O., we have to work on the basis that the perpetrator was the same. Now, the original investigation drew a blank, but in 1998 forestry workers discovered a decomposed body in Epping Forest, and DNA samples on file from the original investigation showed it to be Hannah Taylor.

  Wilson : However, last month an inspection reveals that a technician at the lab that had conducted the DNA tests wasn't following procedure. He mixed up the girls' DNA samples. The body isn't Hannah Taylor; it's Michele Davis.

• Wilson : [watching Sandra Pullman conduct an interview]  Come on. Ask her if she knew Michelle Davis.

  Gerry Standing : Why don't you just shut up and listen? You might learn something.

  Wilson : You do realize I outrank you.

  Gerry Standing : [chuckles]  You don't. I'm not in the job any more. But when I was, we had a governor, D.A.C. Bevin. He outranked me. I broke his jaw.

  Wilson : Look, what do you say we call a truce, eh? No more practical jokes.

  Gerry Standing : Yeah, all right.

  Wilson : [laughs]  That locker. Very funny.

  Gerry Standing : Yeah, I thought so.

  Wilson : Yeah. Me too. It wasn't my locker.

  [Wilson leaves to join a table] 

  Barmaid : What can I get you?

  Gerry Standing : Oh, um, a glass of... no, um, a bottle of dry white wine, two treble malt whiskeys with lots of ice, a pint of mineral water, and give us four of those big cigars, and bung in some crisps and nuts and stuff. I, I've got a card behind the bar. Wilson.

  Barmaid : Do you want any cash back?

  Gerry Standing : [looks over at Wilson and waves]  Yeah, give us fifty quid.
