In Europe, this episode was released on DVD under the title Prime Suspect 1: A Price to Pay. (edit)

Pam: (of murdered woman in reconstruction) She was a pretty girl.
Mrs Tennison: That's not the real girl, that's someone dressed up to look like her.
Mr Tennison: They can't have the real girl, woman, because she's dead! (edit) Moyra Henson: How long has she been bald, then?
George Marlow: Dunno, she never mentions it. Still pretends, always telling me she needs a good shampoo and trim.
Moyra Henson: Just goes to show you - the Rita Hayworth of Warrington was really Yul Brynner in disguise. (edit) DI Frank Burkin: How'd the interview go?
DCI Jane Tennison: E.D. Williams is a thirty-five year old with a history of a mental disorder who has a passion for watching trains at Euston station. Now, either Sergeant Otley needs his frigging head seen to or he's sending me on a wild goose chase around London.
(edit) DCI Jane Tennison: So what do you think?
DI Frank Burkin: About what, sir?
DCI Jane Tennison: My voice suddenly got lower has it? Maybe my knickers are too tight. Listen, I like to be called Governor or The Boss, I don't like Ma'am - I'm not the bloody Queen. So take your pick.
DI Frank Burkin: Yes, Ma'am.
(edit) DCI Jane Tennison: How'd you feel about your boyfriend picking up prostitutes?
Moyra Henson: I love it! Gives me a night's rest!
