Rhya Warnett plays the character of C.I. Warnett, a forty year old Chief Inspector. Throughout her scene, which consists of no more than fifteen seconds, she is presented a wanted poster containing an image of a very suspicious looking man. The build up to this particular scene is a lot longer than the actual scene itself, leaving the audience with very little information to go on about who this lady is, and what she is encouraging this man to do. The fact that she is also plain clothed, connotes that she is not in any position of authority, whereas in theory she is even more superior than any of the other characters within the Opening Sequence. The idea of having a female in such a high position was to challenge the stereotype regarding men being more superior than woman. The real reason behind why the Antagonist is being tracked down is due to personal reasons of Warnett's. Many years ago her father was killed by a man who was never held accountable for the crime he had committed, and instead was discharged from the courts due to a lack of evidence. Through years of grievance and suffering, C.I. Warnett believes that it is now time get the answers she has wanted all her life, and consequently hires someone to bring him to her, enabling her to receive the answers she wishes to acquire.
