Bloodlines

Television (Full Length) – 2010

Do you have a use for insulin in your practice doctor?
– Detective Brett Roberts (Will Hall) to Colin Bouwers (Mark Mitchinson)
If anything does happen to me, you will look after the kids, won't you? Not just their studies —  everything. You'll take good care of them?
– Annette Bouwer (Nathalie Boltt) to her husband Colin (Mark Mitchinson)
Is this normal practice here detective? To interrogate a husband whose wife has just died?
– Colin Bouwer (Mark Mitchinson) to Detective Sergeant Brett Robert (Will Hall)
Why didn’t you let us come to see her, why didn’t you tell us how sick she was?
– Annette Bouwer's sister to Colin Bouwer
I hope it is received well. It's such a tender topic. It's hard talking about something that is about real people. I hope the people who were affected, when they see it, feel that it's been done with integrity and honours them.
– Actor Craig Hall (who plays Doctor Andrew Bowers) in The NZ Herald, 19 July 2010

– Annette's Mum on Colin Bouwer's suspicious behavior

– Doctor Andrew Bowers (Craig Hall) to Detective Sergeant Brett Roberts (Will Hall)
