[While dining with Gene]
Alex Drake
Have you noticed the strange atmosphere in CID?
Gene Hunt
It’s Viv. They all miss him. He was the quiet one that held everything together, the wheel at the centre.
Alex Drake
And now the spokes have fallen off.
Gene Hunt
Blimey, it’s like being on a date with Leonard Cohen.
[There is an awkward pause and Alex stares at Gene]
Gene Hunt
Go on, say it?
Alex Drake
Say what?
Gene Hunt
Alex, there's an elephant in the room. Let’s get it out the way, hey?
Alex Drake
Alright. [Pause] Did you or did you not kill Sam Tyler?
