How did a riot like this even start?
Because they took jellied eels of the menu.
S3 E6Episode 6
Guv, the CCTV is up and working.
Right.
[The team enter the room with the CCTV monitoring equipment. They view the prisoners on a screen]
Can they hear us?
[Getting close the screen and the mic] Oi! Scrot you’re being watched by DI Ray Carling.
[There is no reaction by the people on the screen]
Just been through the prison records seems our escaped prisoner Paul Thordy shared a cell with Jason Sacks. It appears someone didn’t want us to know that, they covered it up.
What and you believe this is important?
[Sarcastically] No, I have just spent the last hour going through all this for my own mindless entertainment!
SShaz
Ray, I need to talk to you.
Now is not the time, Shaz.
SShaz
Tell me! I heard Chris teasing you about seeing stars?
It was nothing. [Pause, Shaz looks at Ray, pressing him] Yeah, alright I saw something... stars.
SShaz
Stars all around in a blackness like space?
Yeah, or like dots of light. You know, like just before you black out. Look, I probably had one too many at Luigi’s, that’s all. It’s no big deal.
[To Chris] Kinnock or Worzel Gummidge? Who would win in a break dancing competition?
[To Gene] I want to float amongst the stars.
[Alex arrives at the cells to see Paul Thordy. She lowers the viewing plate on his cell, Paul is there right up against the glass]
I knew you’d come. You’ve got to help me.
No, no! You’ve got to help me. Our friend is in danger. Is there anything that you can tell me that can help?
Yes.
Well tell me.
[Paul's face turns to a smirk as he starts to laugh]
It’s not funny!
It’s hard not to when you know the truth. [Pause] None of this is real. Sacks isn’t relevant. The riot isn’t relevant. It’s only us that matters Alex.
Who are you?
My name is Sam Tyler. I had an accident and I woke up in 1973.
[Alex backs away from the door and viewing window]
No! NO!
Am I mad? In a coma? Or back in... [Alex closes the viewing shutter on him]
[Alex returns to the cells to question Paul Thordy]
Do you get the dizzy spells a lot? What about visions? Do they happen to you? They happened to me more and more as I got closer. I am Sam Tyler, Alex!
What so you’ve had a face transplant have you?
Any news on Viv guv?
He’s been moved. We can no longer see him on the CCTV.
Yes. Feel free to butt in, Jim!
[To Ray] Why didn’t you tell me that Thordy was Tyler’s last arrest?
What?
A week before his accident, Thordy was Sam’s last collar. Why did no one tell me this?
What now?
Now? I’m gonna show you something.
[The scene cuts to Gene’s office. Gene throws a level arch file down on the desk]
What’s this? Your memoirs?
It’s a list of visitors to the prison over the last year.
Wow! Some good honest police work. Have a sticker.
[Believing they are about to die at the hands of the prisoners, Ray and Chris reflect on life and their friendship]
You’ve been a good pal to me. I don’t know how to say this without looking like a twat.
Go on.
Well. If you don’t make it out of here, can I have your mug? 'Coz mine is knackered.
What is it? What’s the answer?
It’s... It’s a tin box. The answers are in there. Good luck Alex.
S3 E7Episode 7
[Attending Viv’s wake, Gene loses his temper with Chris]
I’ve just lost one of my finest and I’m stuck with officers like you, Skelton, you clumsy bastard [Throws glass at wall]
The time has come, Alex. Do what you were brought here to do. Get me Gene Hunt!
