Det. Supt. Sandra Pullman:
July the twenty-first 2006 at three p.m., Zac Halsey left this ATM and crossed the road before entering the Top Dog video store, which was the last place that he was seen alive. By seven the following morning, this was all that was left of him.

Gerry Standing:
Ugh, do you mind? I've just had me breakfast.

Det. Supt. Sandra Pullman:
So had Misha, a tiger at Harefield Zoo. Zac was a keeper there and Misha was his favourite, apparently.

Jack Halford:
Obviously the feeling wasn't mutual.

Det. Supt. Sandra Pullman:
Misha ate most of his internal organs, parts of his thighs, his lower abdomen and two of his fingers.

Jack Halford:
The female of the species is deadlier than the male.

Gerry Standing:
Hmph, tell me about it.
