edit- Helen Stewart: So, what do you propose?
- Simon Stubberfield: Well, he's been suspended now. He can stay off whilst we have some kind of enquiry. I don't see him being away much longer than that.

- Helen Stewart: Hold on a minute, Simon. That man has just beaten up one of our inmates.
- Simon Stubberfield: That's her story.
- Helen Stewart: And it's one that I believe! I also believe that he was having an affair with her. I've suspected it for a long time. He was doing the same with Rachel Hicks and there's probably others.
- Simon Stubberfield: This is all conjecture.
- Helen Stewart: We've been here before which is why we need a full investigation. Why else are you suspending him if not for that?
- Simon Stubberfield: Well, there are procedures.
- Helen Stewart: Oh - so you can be seen to be doing your job, so that it doesn't affect your promotion?
