David Oyelowo: Danny Hunter

Quotes 

• Harry Pearce : Don't you two have homes to go to?

  Danny Hunter : Tube strike. It's raining, no cabs.

  Harry Pearce : We train you to be resourceful. I'm sure you'll find a way.

  Danny Hunter : Maybe we could book out a pool car on strike days?

  Harry Pearce : Operational purposes only, I'm afraid. I can provide you with specially-designed waterproofing equipment. Standard field officer issue.

  [opening his umbrella] 

  Harry Pearce : You press this button here.

• 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.

• Danny Hunter : Do you wanna grab a beer sometime? Maybe dinner?

  Sam Buxton : We work together.

  Danny Hunter : I know, um, that's the good bit. They, they like us to date each other. Security reasons.

  Sam Buxton : Whose? Theirs or ours?

  Danny Hunter : Harry would be thrilled.

  Sam Buxton : You really know how to flatter a girl. Do you want to go out with me, or do you want to get into Tom and Harry's good books?

  Danny Hunter : The first bit, definitely.

  Sam Buxton : Thought you'd never ask.
