life on mars (d1) gene hunt

Would someone mind telling me when my City became a bloody zoo?

Ah. Never been, unfortunately.

Would you like help removing said ferocious feline?

Your loss.

And I don't hardly think so. I'm not the bloody animal warden.

Probably.

So...you're just going to let it go.

I've put calls in. They can handle it. I'm more interested in why the hell it's out of its cage in the first place, especially considering the zoo is on the other side of town.

A prank?

I'm thinking not. Doesn't mean I'm not going after the bloke who's responsible, though.

...You're a cop, I take it.

DCI, A-Division.

[just smiles and nods like he understands - decides to look it up later]

I'm in the forensics department in my city. Miami. I'm the blood spatter expert.

...great. Another gay boy science 'expert.' Do you sit around chatting about criminal procedure and how best to hump the bloody book?

[stares again] ...Sorry? No, we don't talk about it, we just...do it. Examine the forensics, get the job done. What does being gay have anything to do with it?

Forensics are about as useful to detective work as handing a gun to a postman and saying 'have a go.'

[...Good grief.] Well...I'd have to disagree. Otherwise I'd be out of a job.

The day forensics comes through for an investigation over my own instincts is the day I hand in my badge.

Either your forensics department is very poor, or... [something suddenly occurs to him]

Uh, what's your name, by the way? And what year is it? I mean, back in Manchester.

Name's Gene Hunt, and it's 1973, least most of the time.

DCI Hunt. [polite nod][I don't know how much of this I'm supposed to believe...] No wonder you have a low opinion of forensics. They were barely starting back then, and very unreliable.

I can't see how they got much better. And I'd rather not see it, anyway.

That's too bad. They're a valuable resource.

Valuable as a shit in the loo, I'm sure.

[laughs] Maybe more useful, but not as relieving?

[gives him a look, then laughs] Maybe.

[o-okay, Dex doesn't want to admit it, but that's damn funny :|]

So, how do you solve anything without forensics?

[taps his skull with a smirk] Because I'm the best there is, mate, and my instincts aren't wrong.

[nods, looking at Gene with an incredulous look] Right, because human intelligence is infallible.
