- 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.
- [Sandra walks into the office to find Jack adding information the the whiteboard, and Gerry's desk cut in half]
- Supt. Sandra Pullman: What happened to Gerry's desk?
- Jack Halford: D I Wilson.
- Supt. Sandra Pullman: And where's Gerry?
- Jack Halford: Welding Wilson's locker shut!
