Ashes to Ashes, Series 3

[While dining with Gene]

Alex Drake:
Have you noticed the strange atmosphere in CID?

Gene Hunt:
It's Viv. They all miss him. He was the quiet one that held everything together, the wheel at the centre.

Alex Drake:
And now the spokes have fallen off.

Gene Hunt:
Blimey, it's like being on a date with Leonard Cohen.

[There is an awkward pause and Alex stares at Gene]

Gene Hunt:
Go on, say it?

Alex Drake:
Say what?

Gene Hunt:
Alex, there's an elephant in the room. Let's get it out the way, hey?

Alex Drake:
Alright. [Pause] Did you or did you not kill Sam Tyler?
