Quotes 

• DCI Cassie Stuart : Dr. Balcombe did various tests on the major bones and teeth. And she was able to determine, with actually a pretty good deal of certainty, that these remains are actually those of a young female between the ages of 13... and 15. So, this is not an adult, it's not even a young adult. This is the body of a child. So, as of now, we have a window of 34 years. And as soon as we hear back from A&C, we start searching for all missing children of that age. Uh, we're gonna start with the UK, but if we have to, we'll liaise with Interpol, and roll this out across Europe. Because not many children of that age go missing without leaving people behind. And, somewhere, there surely must be parents who have lived in a world of almost unimaginable pain for many, many years. Let's give them their child back.

• DS Murray Boulting : [holding up a missing person flyer]  Anyone remember the Hayley Reid case?

  DC Jake Collier : She was on her way to a party, wasn't she?

  DCI Cassie Stuart : [nods]  Mmm.

  DS Murray Boulting : From a shift at a pub.

  DS Sunil 'Sunny' Khan : New Year's Eve?

  DCI Cassie Stuart : It was the millennium. 1999. Awful, she just disappeared.

  DC Jake Collier : What was the name of the guy they thought did it? Mullins, was it?

  DS Sunil 'Sunny' Khan : Mullery. Adrian Mullery was the boyfriend.

  DC Fran Lingley : We were exactly the same age. Yeah, I remember, my Mum wouldn't let me get a Saturday job when that happened. Yeah, I remember her.

• DCI Cassie Stuart : [just arriving at the new crime scene]  I am so sorry.

  DS Sunil 'Sunny' Khan : It's not a problem.

  DCI Cassie Stuart : I woke up stupid early again, then fell asleep in my kitchen chair.

  DS Sunil 'Sunny' Khan : You tried valerian?

  DCI Cassie Stuart : No, I can't do sleeping pills. They zonk me out for the next day.

  DS Sunil 'Sunny' Khan : No, no, no, these are herbal. No, you're absolutely normal by 11, next day, easy.

  DCI Cassie Stuart : Right.

  DS Sunil 'Sunny' Khan : Although they do stink like rotting fish.

  DCI Cassie Stuart : Oh, they sound marvelous.

• DCI Cassie Stuart : [on a video call with Adam]  And have you, um, started pronouncing words stupidly, yet?

  Adam Stuart : [mock American accent]  Only when I eat oreh-gen-oh.

  DCI Cassie Stuart : [mock American accent]  On your ris-oh-toh?

  Adam Stuart : New... New York's actually pretty like London, it's just cooler.

  DCI Cassie Stuart : Yeah, well, don't get too attached, 'cause you're not moving there.

  Adam Stuart : Oh. Am I not?

  DCI Cassie Stuart : Sorry. Needed here, I'm afraid.

  Adam Stuart : Right, you see I... I didn't realize I had no say in this decision.

  [laughing] 

  Adam Stuart : How's Granddad?
