Sam Tyler: Tell me about Charley Witham.
Gene Hunt: I'll tell you about her. She's what every copper dreads. A dead child. And parents looking to you for answers.
[Flashback to a year ago. A video of Charley Witham and Gene Hunt and Charley Witham's parents watching]
Gene Hunt: [voiceover] Last year, I stood in their home, knowing I was their only hope of getting justice.
[Video carries on playing. Numerous clips of Charley laughing, playing, smiling, holding her pet cat, doing a handstand. Then the video stopped.]
Mrs Witham: We wanted you to see her, as we saw her. Chief Inspector. With everything ahead of her. Our perfect 10. Our Charley. [She starts to cry and leaves]
[Cut to present day]
Gene Hunt: [emotional] I erm, had the job of showing them... what their lovely perfect 10... had become.
[Flashback to morgue. Mr and Mrs Witham and Gene Hunt looking at Charley's body]
Gene Hunt: We think she knew her killer. Leaves were cleared away like they were making space. A rag was stuffed into her mouth. Probably didn't mean to kill her. Probably only wanted to keep her quiet. Smothered her face. Panicked and ran away.
Mrs Witham: So, she suffocated 20 feet from the road. From people walking their dogs, cars.
[Don Witham takes Charley's hand and kisses it]

Gene Hunt: [Seeing Annie Cartwright's organised all the files for the current case] Bloody hell, Cartwright! Do you wanna come over my house and sort out my garage?
Gene Hunt: Blardy, blardy, history bloody blah. It doesn't take a degree in applied bollocks to know what's going on!
Sam Tyler: Go on then, amaze me with your insubstantial guesswork!
Gene Hunt: He's come over here, started dealing, and Rocket or one of the other local drugs boys has took offence and offed him!
Sam Tyler: Wow. That was better than I expected. Copper jumps to conclusion and fits evidence to match. Birmingham Six, here we come!

Gene Hunt: If you think I'm gonna let you walk away from this investigation, than you're in for an even bigger disappointment than when we found out the plonk Doris Bangs was a name and not a promise!
Gene Hunt: Now. Yesterday's shooting. The dealers are all so scared we're more likely to get Helen Keller to talk. The Paki in a coma's about as lively as Liberace's dick when he's looking at a naked woman, and all in all this investigation's going at the speed of a spastic in a magnet factory.
[Sam Tyler, aghast, drops the radio he is holding.]
Gene Hunt: What?
Sam Tyler: Think you might have missed out the Jews
Gene Hunt: What?
Sam Tyler: I think we need to explore whether this attempted murder was a hate crime.
Gene Hunt: What as opposed to one of those I-really-really-like-you sort of murders?
