Taggart:

Livingstone:
Morning, sir.

Taggart:
Who are you?

Livingstone:
I'm Detective Sergeant Livingstone. I just got here myself.

Taggart:
[To Sgt. Blackman] All right. Thanks. [Blackman heads off. Taggart and Livingstone glance down at the body.]

Livingstone:
Strangulation, with a ligature.

Taggart:
We don't have ligatures in Maryhill! [He bends down to take a closer look. He pulls out a dictaphone and starts recording.] Young woman aged about twenty, strangled, lying face upwards in obstetric position, no immediate evidence of sexual assault, hands crossed on body. Possible weapon... uh... stocking. No marks of knots. Abrasions on left cheek, large clump of hair cut from right side of head exposing scalp... loose hairs near head. [He stops recording.]

Livingstone:
Time of death 12:25, sir. Her watch broke in the struggle. I made a few notes of my own before you got here. [He hands his notebook to Taggart.]

Taggart:
[Reading from the notebook] "In situ"?

Livingstone:
A reference to her undergarments.

Taggart:
Aren't knickers good enough for you? [Chucks the notebook back at Livingstone.]
