->'''Inés Villegas''': My friends and I used to ride there when we were children. Such carefree summers, filled with fun and laughter. \\
'''Max Winter''': It's hard to imagine.

->'''Max Winter''': Perp's probably long gone. It's basically an insurance job. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': And we're driving all the way across the island just to confirm it. \\
'''Max Winter''': Well, actually, I'm driving, you're complaining. We may as well make a day of it, hm?

->'''Max Winter''': I've read that breaking in a young stallion is an art form. Do it with tenderness and care, and you'll have a loving companion for life, but get it wrong, the animal can be temperamental, dangerous even. Much like man himself. \\
'''Javier Santos''': It's just horse sense.

->'''Miranda Blake''': Oh, God... She's so... \\
'''Max Winter''': Happy thoughts, Miranda. Think happy thoughts.

->'''José Rey''': You're enjoying all this, aren't you? Big macho cop flexing your big macho muscles. \\
'''Max Winter''': Yeah. I work out.

->'''Javier Santos''': Use your reins, tonto. \\
'''Max Winter''': That's Detective Tonto to you!

->'''Javier Santos''': We make camp till first light. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': What? But if the moon's bright, we... \\
'''Javier Santos''': If one of us breaks a leg, we get paid leave. If a horse breaks a leg, it gets shot in the head. \\
'''Max Winter''': Camp it is, then!

->'''Miranda Blake''': Aren't you going to offer me a sip? \\
'''Javier Santos''': I assumed... \\
'''Miranda Blake''': Because I'm a woman? \\
'''Javier Santos''': No, because you are closed. By the book. My mistake. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': No, thank you. I'm on duty.

->'''Max Winter''': Trust your gut. Trust your horse sense.

->'''Miranda Blake''': Didn't drink a bottle of whisky and stab himself, Pia.

->'''Max Winter''': I knew it. You're a horse whisperer after all. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': Nonsense. Just saying a perfectly reasonable goodbye and thank you. \\
'''Max Winter''': How much easier to be a horse. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': What, a saddle on your back, slave to a lump of a rider? \\
'''Max Winter''': Loved and fed and cared for.

->'''Max Winter''': I forgot about the chafing. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': Oh! Don't say chafing. Even the word hurts. \\
'''Max Winter''': Chafing.

->'''Miranda Blake''': Owls, maybe? My dad was a keen twitcher. Used to wake me up to hear them twit-twoo-ing outside my window. Happy days.\\
'''Max Winter''': But less happy nights, I'd imagine.

->'''Miranda Blake''': Just because you helped Carmen pick out some colours for the bar doesn't mean she wants you to join her on one of her spray-can sorties.

->'''Max Winter''': So, this is the wild beyond, huh? \\
'''Miranda Blake''': Honestly, Max, you can be such a snob. \\
'''Max Winter''': I'm just more your metropolitan type.

->'''Miranda Blake''': To be at one with nature requires an appreciation of stillness and silence. \\
'''Max Winter''': Well, silence is just plain weird to an urban guy like me

->'''Miranda Blake''': Black tie. Not quite what I pictured when you said dry-cleaning. \\
'''Max Winter''': Needs must. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': Hmm. I'll pack a posh frock next time, shall I?

->'''Miranda Blake''': I think that tux might have gone to your head, Agent Winter.

->'''Miranda Blake''': He's just miffed he didn't get the tuxedo memo.

->'''Miranda Blake''': Stay with me, 007!

->'''Max Winter''': Well, if I had to choose the kind of birds Carmen and I were, I'd say... eagles. Proud, glamorous... What? All right. How would you see us? \\
'''Miranda Blake''': What, us? \\
'''Max Winter''': Yeah. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': I don't know. A pair of geese? They... they partner for life. They, err... prefer a nice cosy existence. \\
'''Max Winter''': Geese? \\
'''Miranda Blake''': Yeah. Ruffle someone's feathers, did I?

->'''Inés Villegas''': The biggest mystery is why would anyone choose Germany over Mallorca?

->'''Max Winter''': I play a bit. \\
'''Rico Alonso''': Yeah? \\
'''Max Winter''': Had that classic teenage dilemma. Professional footballer or policeman.

->'''Joan Lorenzo''': You support Dortmund because of their kit? \\
'''Max Winter''': I, erm... I made an aesthetic choice. Hey, I'm not one of those fake fans, Joan.

->'''Inés Villegas''': She got away. In stilettos.

->'''Max Winter''': I didn't forget about you, Miranda. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': England? \\
'''Max Winter''': It's near Wales.

->'''Miranda Blake''': Oh, I know what a carrot air is supposed to do to a tangerine granita. \\
'''Max Winter''': Uh-huh? Oh, yeah. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': I just don't care. Otherwise, a huge fan of experimental cuisine.

->'''Max Winter''': I'm really thirsty, you know. We could have stopped for a coffee. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': You're like this huge child, who stuffs himself with sweets and then afterwards complains he's got a poorly tum-tum.

->'''Miranda Blake''': Michelin star - ah, yeah, that's that thing you need before you can charge 20 euros for a bowl of soup, right?

->'''Miranda Blake''': Max, that's worrywort. \\
'''Max Winter''': It's Apfel-minze. Apple mint. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': It's worrywort. Causes impotence... It probably is apple mint, but you shouldn't just be eating random plants, Max. You never know how dangerous they might be.

->'''Miranda Blake''': Can't imagine giving up work. Can you? \\
'''Max Winter''': When I retire to my vineyard in Binissalem, I'll invite you. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': You're not retiring back to Germany? \\
'''Max Winter''': When I have everything I need here? ... I mean, the sun, the sea, the sobrasada, Carmen. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': Course. Though maybe don't tell Carmen she comes after a sausage.

->'''Max Winter''': You could've been a little more respectful back there. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': Yeah, like the respect you showed nearly passing out in his kitchen? Laws and sausages, eh, Max? Two things you should never see get made. \\
'''Max Winter''': Mmm. Back on the horse! I like the finished product, what can I say? \\
'''Miranda Blake''': Obsessed with it is more accurate. We really need to do some digging into Ana Gutierrez. \\
'''Max Winter''': I know. And hey, I don't obsess about food, I just have passions. I bet you haven't even thought about your last meal. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': Cheddar cheese sandwich and salt and vinegar crisps. \\
'''Max Winter''': Sorry, what and what crisps? \\
'''Miranda Blake''': Salt and vinegar crisps. They're the only flavour worth having. They prefer paprika here, of course. It's only cos they've been raised on food from horror movies.

->'''Max Winter''': Three, two, one...roadblock!

->'''Max Winter''': They left me none? We work with thieves and liars.

->'''Miranda Blake''': Hate this day.

->'''Max Winter''': Drop the sobrasada!

->'''Miranda Blake''': I've brought my own supper. If this is some re-educational programme in the Mallorcan cuisine, then...

Added DiffLines:

->'''Inés Villegas''': Obviously, an investigation like this needs a discreet and serious approach. I thought of you two.

->'''Max Winter''': You don't have to brutalise the door of a BMW. I said this before. It just takes one smooth push... and the mechanism takes over.

->'''Max Winter''': Never marry for money, always marry for love. But if a man's got money, try and love him anyway.

->'''Max Winter''': Nothing says strong, independent woman more than marrying a 74-year-old millionaire.

->'''María Jimenez''': So, Detective Blake is a blonde. If I knew you were at the police station, I would have had to stop by to confess so many bad things.

->'''María Jimenez''': Why don't you take a look around, darling? We'll be fine here.

->'''María Jimenez''': You know, we have a lot in common. Both of us are trying to solve mysteries about dead people. We should get together some time. Compare notes with a cold drink on a warm night. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': Thanks, but, erm, I'm more of a "warm drink on a cold night" kind of girl. \\
'''María Jimenez''': Really? I'm not so sure.

->'''Miranda Blake''': Frank, is this what you dreamed of those cold nights walking the beat in Kentish Town or wherever? Retire to the sun and live out this little pulp fiction fantasy? You know, the suit, the hat, all this... \\
'''Frank Bottomley''': Nothing wrong with bringing a bit of Dashiell Hammett to the Balearics.

->'''Max Winter''': Oh, Miranda. I didn't read about that in your file. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': You read my file? \\
'''Max Winter''': Yeah, of course. Oh, come on, everybody does that. Don't they? \\
'''Miranda Blake''': No!

->'''Max Winter''': Who's this handsome devil, straight out of a Hemingway novel?

->'''Carmen Lorenzo''': Can you tell your office wife to maybe keep to office hours?

->'''Miranda Blake''': 50,000 volts or chicken curry, it's all the same at the end of the day.

->'''Miranda Blake''': Sorry. Personal call. \\
'''Max Winter''': So, who was it? \\
'''Miranda Blake''': OK, let's try that again. It was a personal call. \\
'''Max Winter''': And I'm asking who it was.

->'''Roberto Herrero''': You know, for some, the pain of living is just too great. They long for the abyss.

->'''Luisa Rosa''': OK, so I've started the comprehensive fibre analysis, trace DNA, obviously. \\
'''Max Winter''': Obviously. \\
'''Luisa Rosa''': So, we are running blood spatter at the scene and I'm crosschecking all the samples we took last night. The spectrometer is practically smoking! Oh, and the murder weapon needs to go for metallurgy. Have I forgotten anything? \\
'''Miranda Blake''': No. No, that seems pretty comprehensive. \\
'''Luisa Rosa''': Well, great. If there is anything else you need, just DM me, OK? \\
'''Roberto Herrero''': Either we will fall madly in love, or I will kill her.

->'''Miranda Blake''': Oh, I'm stunned. That's brilliant. \\
'''Max Winter''': Sarcasm. Ha-ha! So very British. But where's your Empire now?

->'''Miranda Blake''': Statistically speaking, a spouse or a close family member is the usual culprit. I'm a big fan of data.

->'''Max Winter''': I'm glad I'm not as cynical as you. Always seeing the worst in people. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': Yeah... No, no, not people, Max. Suspects. So I suspect them. Clue's kind of in the name?

->'''Max Winter''': Opera is totally hard-core. Carmen - stabbed to death by a jealous lover. Madame Butterfly - kills herself with a sword rather than face being abandoned. True drama comes with a terrible beauty. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': Didn't know you were such a big fan. \\
'''Max Winter''': My mother loved it. My father... hated it. So Mum always took me with her instead. At nine years old, I'd seen everything. Murder, suicide and killer ghosts! Oh, I also liked these little binoculars.

->'''Max Winter''': When she talked about him, there was this look in her eyes. A certain fire, you know. Thwarted passion. The window to the soul, yeah? \\
'''Miranda Blake''': Right, yeah, well, we could arrest her for having dark Spanish eyes.

->'''Max Winter''': They're persistent. It's very smart of you to play hard to get. Drives a man totally crazy. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': You finished? \\
'''Max Winter''': Should I be? \\
'''Miranda Blake''': Yep, definitely.

->'''Max Winter''': Oh, please, just one chair?

->'''Max Winter''': It's like going on a first date. You should always, always bring a friend with you to stop you being blinded by sеx and making a bad decision.

->'''Karl''': I don't really like this job. I... I think I'm going to quit. Also, my boss is, er, how do you say in English, something of a bitch? \\
'''Miranda Blake''': No, we really don't say that.

->'''Miranda Blake''': See, thing is, I've got this weird thing where I consider myself an adult who can make her own decisions.

->'''Carmen Lorenzo''': You told her he was coming, right? \\
'''Max Winter''': Look, despite all the so-called attitude, Miranda's shy. Lonely, even. Sometimes she needs a little push. \\
'''Carmen Lorenzo''': Are all men born stupid or is it just you? \\
'''Max Winter''': I can see no good way to answer that question. \\
'''Carmen Lorenzo''': She's going to kill you. And if she doesn't, then I will.

->'''Miranda Blake''': This has all the hallmarks of a Max plan. Clumsy, obvious and stupid.

->'''Carmen Lorenzo''': Max means well. He always does. It's probably the reason I'm still with him. Apart from the sеx, obviously.

->'''Miranda Blake''': I was surprised, you know, the whole marriage thing - that you didn't just say yes. \\
'''Carmen Lorenzo''': Hmm, so was I. I thought about it. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': But...? \\
'''Carmen Lorenzo''': I had to think about it.

->'''Miranda Blake''': He's a nice man. I mean, he's irritating sometimes, but he's nice. \\
'''Carmen Lorenzo''': He really wants you to be happy. You can be hard to read sometimes. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': Emotional poker face. It's a gift. \\
'''Carmen Lorenzo''': It's OK. I get it. Why should we all have to open our hearts to the world all the time?

->'''Max Winter''': I'm just thinking... I'm a lucky guy, you know? Live in a great place. I have a great job. And the woman I love brings me coffee in bed. Meeting you was... the best thing that has ever happened to me. \\
'''Carmen Lorenzo''': Even better than that time you saw a seagull catch a chip in mid-air? \\
'''Max Winter''': OK, the second best! But that was a hell of a catch. You know what? I think I could teach you to catch chips too. So for that reason, we probably should get married!

->'''Miranda Blake''': I don't watch TV. My parents didn't have one. They thought it rotted your brain.
'''Inés Villegas''': Maybe they had a point.

->'''Christian''': Of course he's serious. Max Winter is a serious guy. Just like me. Also, he loves you. \\
'''Carmen Lorenzo''': He told you that? \\
'''Christian''': No, not exactly. But, you see, guys don't really have those kind of conversations. \\
'''Carmen Lorenzo''': So what do you talk about? \\
'''Christian''': Football. Beer. Has he ever been unfaithful? Has he even looked at another woman? \\
'''Carmen Lorenzo''': No. \\
'''Christian''': He only cares about you... which is why you should definitely marry him.

->'''Jens Schmidt''': Do as I ask you, or your girlfriend dies. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': I'm not his girlfriend. \\
'''Max Winter''': She's right. I'm engaged. \\
'''Jens Schmidt''': I don't care. Just... write! \\
'''Max Winter''': OK. Shoot. I mean... I'm ready.

->'''Jens Schmidt''': In 30 minutes, the show will be up or I'll shoot your fiancée. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': No. I'm sorry. No, there's been a misunderstanding. He's actually getting married to someone else.\\
'''Jens Schmidt''': You're not...? \\
'''Miranda Blake''': No, HE'S getting married to someone else. \\
'''Max Winter''': I'm with Carmen. She works in a bar in Palma.

->'''Jens Schmidt''': Where's this boyfriend? \\
'''Max Winter''': I'm here.

->'''Max Winter''': Jens... look, why not take me instead? \\
'''Miranda Blake''': What? Why? Because I'm a woman? Or because you think I just can't handle this? \\
'''Max Winter''': I didn't say that. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': Sorry, what makes you think you'd be a better hostage than me? \\
'''Max Winter''': I just don't want you to die!

->'''Jürgen Kuhl''': Admit that you're getting a kick out of this, Miranda.\\
'''Miranda Blake''': Absolutely.

->'''Jens Schmidt''': I walk the streets like a whore. Look for the one I adore.

->'''Carmen Lorenzo''': Max, you risked your life for her. \\
'''Max Winter''': Yeah, of course, she's my partner. \\
'''Carmen Lorenzo''': Christian said something to me today. Actions speak louder than words.

->'''Miranda Blake''': It's just... my life is here now... I think.

->'''Miranda Blake''': Compañeros, right?\\

[[AC:Mallorca's Most Wanted]]

->'''Max Winter''': This is not cabaret.\\
'''Miranda Blake''': It's British cabaret. We're not actually here for the act, Max.\\
'''Max Winter''': I love Monty Python, but this isn't Monty Python and this isn't cabaret. This is a crime against entertainment.

->'''Jimmy''': Look, I can't go to prison.\\
'''Max Winter''': Mm? Oh, then let's forget the whole thing. It's overcrowded anyway. Miranda, we're going to let Jimmy go.

->'''Miranda Blake''': Mallorca has a most wanted list.\\
'''Max Winter''': Yeah, but there's a pretty big drop off. Second-placed guy held up two petrol stations in Cala Millor.

->'''Miranda Blake''': So that's why there's 50 people out there? Interflora.

->'''Max Winter''': Do you have your pocket knife, Miss Girl Scout? \\
'''Miranda Blake''': No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! Not while I have to sit in this car. With my knife! \\
'''Max Winter''': But it's Rohwurst schnitffest. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': That's exactly what it smells like.

->'''Miranda Blake''': What's that? Some German delicacy made from distilled sauerkraut? \\
'''Max Winter''': That's what you got. I got lemonade. And you're welcome.

->'''Max Winter''': Her friend was murdered by Mallorca's most wanted man. You'd think that would be something my girlfriend might mention. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': So, she is your girlfriend now? See, two people actually have to talk for these things to come up. \\
'''Max Winter''': We talk. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': Look, and it goes both ways, Max. What have you actually told her about you? Does she know what your dad thought about you becoming a cop? \\
'''Max Winter''': It hasn't come up. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': That you can quote that Monty Python dead owl sketch by heart? \\
'''Max Winter''': Parrot. Norwegian Blue parrot. How can you not know that? \\
'''Miranda Blake''': See, the real question, Max, is how does your girlfriend, of nearly a year, not know these things?

->'''Miranda Blake''': You said English tea, right? \\
'''Max Winter''': No, because I live to disappoint you.

->'''Federico Ramis''': This is a request from Villegas, yes? \\
'''Max Winter''': Um... we need to keep Ines out of this.\\
'''Federico Ramis''': Then I feel unable to help. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': Rico... we wouldn't ask if this wasn't very important. \\
'''Federico Ramis''': You have never called me Rico. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': It's what your friends call you.

->'''Miranda Blake''': If that's Max, he'll keep ringing. And if I don't answer, he'll come looking for me. \\
'''Ramón Hernández''': I moved her car off the road. There's no sign that she was there, but Villegas says there's a thing between them, so he probably will come looking for her.

->'''Miranda Blake''': Oh, reach into my back left pocket. Swiss Army knife. \\
'''Max Winter''': I take back anything I ever said about you... or thought about you. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': Do you have to rub your hand around like that?! \\
'''Max Winter''': I'm bending my arm the wrong way! You think I'm pausing to feel your butt?!

->'''Miranda Blake''': You're supposed to know me! If you knew me, we wouldn't be about to... You called it in? \\
'''Max Winter''': Yeah, of course! \\
'''Miranda Blake''': You knew it was code. Why the hell didn't you tell me?! \\
'''Max Winter''': Just wanted to see how close I had to get to dying before I admitted I know you! And quite well, too.

->'''Inés Villegas''': I think your Metropolitan Police, they made a mistake. I will tell them that. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': Thank you. I'm sorry about your friend. \\
'''Inés Villegas''': Detective Winter. Take Detective Blake to hospital. Kicking and screaming, if you have to.

->'''Max Winter''': So... eight missed calls from Carmen. I should go. Unless you want me to stay with you. I wouldn't mind. \\
'''Miranda Blake''': I'll be fine, Max. Go. \\
'''Max Winter''': OK. Just until you get seen? \\
'''Miranda Blake''': Really, I am fine on my own. Carmen needs you.
