S2 E6A Deadly Drug

There was a power cut.

Thank God for OPEC.

Where's Annie? She was with me when I got hit over the head. And we just picked up Ravi.

[On radio] DS Carling? Come in. Over.

[On radio, in distance] Yeah, what do you want?

If Annie dies, this will be down to you. Should have left that bloody iron on you.

[On radio] Right, OK. [To Gene, Sam and Chris] Toolbox has picked up Ravi.

With Annie?

Maybe if we erm, we, we...

Oh shut up, you bloody big waste of space. Ray take Noddy here and check out Annie's flat. [To Sam] You come with me.

[Catching White Supremacist after throwing brick through a window]

WSWhite Supremacist

What you doing, mate? You're one of us.

What, a dyslexic, racist moron?

[Finding Annie]

[Sam is at the hospital after checking on Layla who is pregnant with Maya, when he sees Annie walking towards him]

The guv wanted me to see if you're doing anything stupid. You're not are you?

No.

Right, that's me off duty then.

[She turns and starts walking away]

Annie, I just wanted you to know, the business with...

...Layla.

Yeah, it's not what you think.

Y'know it's none of my business.

It was just unfinished business and now it's finished. That's all. [He smiles and kisses Annie on the cheek]

Bye, Sam. [She turns to leave but then turns back] And get some sleep. [She leaves]

Gene...not to come over all 'Dorothy', but I could help you. Everyone's traceable, even in this day and age. I could help you find your brother.

I already did, Sam. Just not in time.

[Gene takes a swig of his drink]

Does that actually help?

[Gene offers Sam the flask, to which Sam takes a swig of the drink]

Y'know I might know how to cheer him up.

[Cut to a nurse walking from the hospital beds and another nurse travelling to see the disturbance in one of the hospital beds. She finds Sam sitting in a chair smoking, reading a newspaper and Gene lying on the bed next to Ravi, drinking]

NNurse

Keep it down or I'll call the police.

[Sam and Gene laugh and Ravi wakes up, sighs and goes back to sleep, as Sam and Gene continue laughing]

S2 E7The Shooting

Listen, you're not the one who's going to have to knit himself a new arse after 25 years of aggressive male affection in prison showers, I'm coming with you!.

[Sam startles Gene by waking screaming from a nightmare]

I was just dreaming.

What I call a dream involves Diana Dors and a bottle of chip oil! That's what you call a guilty conscience, my friend.

What?

The root of nightmares.

My conscience is clear, thank you very much.

Yeah, well, as for me, I slept like a baby! [Flops back down onto the bed]

Yeah, a twenty stone baby. Burps, snores and farts.

[sitting bolt upright] I do NOT snore!

S2 E8Undercover

[Sam and Gene are having another discussion about police work]

Our definitions of policing may vary marginally.

And yours is?

Serve the public trust, protect the innocent, uphold the law.

Training college?

Robocop. [Pause] You can't uphold the law by breaking it.

[Sam hears Jimmy Savile on the radio]

JSJimmy Savile

Wow! But the big news is they've found the cause of Sam's prolonged coma! Ooh! Now then guys and gals, there's a tumour in the temporal lobe of Sam's brain, they thought it was a clot but, hows about that, a clot it is not! Wow! It may be operable, double wow!...Our very good friends here at the hopsital say they can cut out the tumour.

Cut it out! Cut it out! Fix it for me, Jim!.

I see a darkness in you, Sam.

Oh, you can see into me, can you, Nelson? Well, Come on then. Am I mad? Huh? Is this real? Come on. I just want to know the truth.

We all want that, Sam. What's real. What's not. I see folk who walk about in a sunken dream, 'cause they feel nothing. Are they alive?

I wake up every morning and I tell myself I am alive.

When you can feel, then you're alive. When you don't feel, you're not.

[Sam has just revealed that he is betraying Gene]

That's why you're leaving, isn't it? I bet sometimes you can't look at yourself in the mirror.

[Starts to cry]

I listened to all your problems and worries, and I can't believe I felt sorry for you.

[Slaps Sam]

Hurts, doesn't it? That's because it's real!

I went someplace mum and every day I woke up in that place and I told myself ‘I'm alive' and I was. In some ways more than I've ever been. You know, a barman [laughs] a barman once told me that you know when you're alive because you can feel and you know when you're not because you don't feel anything. I made a promise mum; I made a promise to someone who I care about very much.

RTRuth Tyler

Then you've got nothing to worry about because you always keep your promises.
