Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  DCI Cassie Stuart : So yesterday, we believe we identified the body in the case as David Ewan Walker, reported missing on the tenth of May, 1990. The postmortem confirmed that David Walker died as a result of probably a single stab wound to the chest. So... We're looking for his killer. Pure and simple. For whoever robbed a five-year-old child of the opportunity to ever see his dad again. A boy who, well, no, he's a 31-year-old man now, who has apparently spent the last 26 years praying that his father would still turn up. Alive.

  DC Fran Lingley : I've just spoken to the friend again. James Gregory, the restaurant owner.

  DCI Cassie Stuart : Okay.

  DC Fran Lingley : Uh, so the conversation was pretty brief. He was on his way to work but, uh, he was telling me about David's problems, his depression, his drinking.

  DCI Cassie Stuart : Tessa never told us about that.

  DC Fran Lingley : Uh, he thought it had a lot to do with what happened to him as a kid.

  DCI Cassie Stuart : [pauses]  Which was?

  DC Fran Lingley : He said he'd been abused by a teacher at his primary school. And in the last few months of his life, he talked a lot about going to the police, finally reporting what happened to him. But also, he talked about confronting his abuser.

  DS Sunil 'Sunny' Khan : And then one day he just disappears.

  DCI Cassie Stuart : And then one day, someone sticks a knife in his chest.

• DS Sunil 'Sunny' Khan : [on mobile]  I don't care what time anyone else is staying 'til, Aisha. I want you back at eleven.

  [pauses] 

  DS Sunil 'Sunny' Khan : Listen.

  [pauses] 

  DS Sunil 'Sunny' Khan : Listen, listen! Okay, here's the deal. You can either go and be back by eleven or not go at all. It's your choice.

  [pauses] 

  DS Sunil 'Sunny' Khan : Aisha.

  [pauses] 

  DS Sunil 'Sunny' Khan : Ai...? Oh!

  [sighs and removes his earpiece] 

  DCI Cassie Stuart : [amused]  Hardball. Respect.

  DS Sunil 'Sunny' Khan : [shaking his head]  I'm having the same conversation every week for the last six months. It's like negotiating with a goldfish.

• Martin Hughes : I just put down the phone on Adam. He might come down next weekend, celebrate my birthday.

  DCI Cassie Stuart : Oh, that'd be nice. Did he tell you about his girlfriend, what she did?

  Martin Hughes : Heh. He seemed to think it was a selling point.

  DCI Cassie Stuart : What do you mean, selling point?

  Martin Hughes : The term threes up was used.

  DCI Cassie Stuart : Ewww, no...

  Martin Hughes : At which point, I reminded him I've got an irregular heartbeat.

  DCI Cassie Stuart : Youth of today.

  Martin Hughes : Lucky bastards.
