Keeley Hawes: Zoe Reynolds

Quotes 

• Malcolm Wynn-Jones : He can't explode the stick.

  Harry Pearce : I'd like to believe that

  Malcolm Wynn-Jones : I mean he physically can't. The container's made of titanium steel. It's several feet thick. He could run an express train into it. The train would end up in the scrap yard. It requires specialised tools to open. You can't just pop the lid off with a screwdriver.

  Zoe Reynolds : Those are oil vats. He's not gonna bomb the truck, he's gonna bomb those. It's a massive oil fire. What would that do to uranium?

  Malcolm Wynn-Jones : It would make it very angry.

• Zoe Reynolds : Danny! We're not trying to infiltrate Baghdad. It's just a bloody birthday party.

• Zoe Reynolds : Look, Ruth, Harry's not a fool. You're good. He'll want to keep you here.

  Ruth Evershed : God, I hope so. I don't want to go back to GCHQ. Too many bloody mathematicians, for one thing.

  Danny Hunter : [interrupting]  Hanson quit the army three years ago, claiming benefits ever since. Why hasn't he reenlisted? The army offer good incentives for experienced soldiers to join up again.

  Ruth Evershed : Well, I'll just go read a North Korea Evening News, or something.

  [leaves the room] 

  Danny Hunter : [sitting down in the chair Ruth has just vacated]  What do you think?

  Zoe Reynolds : I think that for a man whose job's all about observation, perception, and intelligence, you just failed on all three counts.

• [first lines] 

  News Anchor : Transport chaos at the capital as the vastest 24-hour strike on London Underground started at 8 pm tonight, increasing pressure on the government to find a solution for what is now looking like a new winter of discontent. Shadow Cabinet spokesman Charles Lindsay today attacked the government's domestic policy...

  Zoe Reynolds : Charles Lindsay?

  Danny Hunter : Isn't he the man who had the fling with the guy...

  Zoe Reynolds : Who knew the girl that sold the thing? Yup.
