DC Rob Thatcher : Nixon's been looking for you.
DS Phil Hunter : Oh, yeah? What'd ya say?
DC Rob Thatcher : I said I didn't know where you were.
DS Phil Hunter : Nice one! Yeah, even Ken would've done better than that!
Acting DI Samantha Nixon : DS Hunter! My office now!... I said now!... Where have you been? And don't try telling me it's to do with the Brewer case.
DS Phil Hunter : No, I slipped out.
Acting DI Samantha Nixon : You slipped out? For over two hours? What's going on?
DS Phil Hunter : It's personal.
Acting DI Samantha Nixon : Oh, is it? When I assign you to an investigation, I expect you to just get on with it, not go swanning around to goodness knows where!
DS Phil Hunter : It was important.
Acting DI Samantha Nixon : This job is important. Now I'm under pressure to get results here!
DS Phil Hunter : Yeah, well, so am I... Look, I apologise for not consulting you first, all right? Can I go back and do some work?
Acting DI Samantha Nixon : Well, if it's not too much trouble!

Acting DI Samantha Nixon : You've made my mind up for me. I want you to act as Family Liaison Officer to the Weavers.
DS Phil Hunter : You what?
Acting DI Samantha Nixon : You heard.
DS Phil Hunter : Guv, I'm hardly tea-and-sympathy material, am I?
DC Rob Thatcher : He's not wrong there, Guv.
DS Phil Hunter : See? Can't you get Eva to do it?
Acting DI Samantha Nixon : Look. I know you've got all the listening skills and empathy of a breeze-block, Phil, but that's not what's needed here. Weaver's up to his neck in all sorts, and some of his associates will've lost a lot of money when Joel Brewer decided not to throw that fight, so if we wanna find that little girl, we need to know who Weaver's wound up. And how nasty they are. And as you're our expert in all things nasty... low... devious...
DS Phil Hunter : Yeah, thanks very much.
Acting DI Samantha Nixon : You're welcome... Shift your arse.
DC Rob Thatcher : [laughs]
DC Rob Thatcher : Wipe that smile off your face, Constable!
