S3 E2Episode 2

You know, Keats and people like him, they wanna take us down, Alex. So whatever he says... don't help him.

S3 E3Episode 3

[Gene, Alex, Chris and Ray arrive at the suspects house. Gene walks up the driveway and addresses the suspects wife]

Cup of tea, sugar, pleanty of milk and my biscuit of choice is the garibaldi.

S3 E4Episode 4

[The team arrive at the mortuary and view the body of a dead drug dealer]

If I wanted to wipe out a bunch of dealers, I’d grab 'em, shoot 'em up and overdose 'em. Then they'd be just another statistic.

We wouldn't've even noticed Warren Johnston's death if the guv had not wanted to speak to him. Which makes you wonder, doesn't it? How many times has this happened before? Because this is murder!

Yes, thank you, Quincy.

[Gene and the team watch for the whereabouts of the undercover police woman while waiting in the Quattro]

Hey up, there she is, Miss Undercover 1983.

Oh yes! Leave this one to me guv...

LLouise

Being undercover, it’s not what I thought it would be.

Well, you've got balls though. [Louise looks at Chris] You know what I mean, you've got balls, balls as in...

You look a little strung out.

Do I? Well I haven't been sleeping well. Erm... This may sound a bit strange to you but I think I'm being haunted.

Metaphorically or...

... No, literally!

Huh! Odd is probably underselling it a bit then. I can't say I believe in all that sort of thing to be honest.

No, nor do I, well not in the real world I don't...

Who is haunting you? An old lady? A creepy child? King Edward the Second?

[They both laugh]

It's a police man, actually.

Oh ,that's interesting.

[The team pull Danny Stafford over and search his car]

Where you off to Danny? Church?

DSDanny Stafford

I'm off to see the girlfriend for a spot of morning glory.

What at five in the morning? Do I have gullible written on my forehead?

Here we go again.

[Gene leans in and Danny looks briefly at Gene's forehead giving Gene the opportunity to head butt him]

You see I know you're lying Danny because your lips move, just like your old man.

[Ray opens the glove compartment to Danny's car and finds some heroin]

Guv, you'll want to see this.

[To Danny] What's this? A little present for the girlfriend?

[After Danny escapes the team searching his car, Gene, Chris, Ray and Alex give chase to him. Danny jumps over a brick wall and Chris tries to throw a can of fuel oil at Danny but misses. Gene follows Danny over the wall while the team wait. Lots of smashing and crashing can be heard from over the wall. After a moment Gene pops his head over the wall next to a Blue Peter logo on a sign]

Would somebody like to give me a hand dragging this bastard back over?

[Alex spots the sign]

Is there a garden in there?

Yes, why?

[Cut to sometime later in the CID office. The team watch an episode of Blue Peter on their TV. The presenters talk about the garden being vandalised and the members of CID stare at Gene]

BPBlue Peter Presenter

Vandals broke into the Blue Peter Garden and caused rather a lot of damage and one really cruel thing they did was to pour fuel oil into the fish pond. We've drained the pond and rescued some of the fish although a lot of them have died and the fuel itself has caused a lot of damage. If that wasn't enough, they then smashed our sundial and callously threw into the pond. We hope to repair the damage, but it is very sad to think that there are a few people that take such pleasure in...

It's only a bloody garden! [To Shaz] Turn it off.

It’s such a shame, those poor little fish.

Off!

[Gene and Alex stand in a corridor discussing Louise and her undercover operation]

I was thinking after all this is over we could bring her onto the team.

No!

Why not?

She's a damn fine copper but she's too much of a liability.

I think she would be alright under you guidance.

Do I look like a piece of toast?

Then stop buttering me up like some demented housewife.

[In the interview room Alex interrogates Danny Stafford while Gene stands against a wall]

Five dealers dead in two months. A van load of heroin which you tried to steal. A network of dealers you tried to set up...

Not to mention the party pack in the glove compartment.

DSDanny Stafford

How would you feel if someone much younger than you, better looking came in and took over your patch? Tried to get all the glory?

They'd melt in my shadow, son.

[After Louise has been seen by Danny Stafford, Alex and Gene question their next move]

She's not safe here. We have to get her out to somewhere safe.

Well what about that place that sells cheap plonk?

[The scene cuts to Luigi’s Restaurant]

[After another tough case is solved the team sit down to enjoy drinks in Luigi’s Restaurant. Luigi brings the drinks over to the table]

What is that?

Its cocktail hour.

Is there any chance that I can get a drink that hasn't minced its way over here from Mayfair?
