- Complete Monster: "Little Lazarus": Danny Hale is a psychopathic young man out to get revenge on a woman called Carla Davies. Growing up in care, Hale developed an instant hatred for Carla due to her good looks and likeable personality, and tortured and raped her for years, traumatising her well into adulthood. Moved to a young offenders' institute after Carla reported him, Hale swore revenge. Tracking her down and discovering that she had had a baby son called Adam, Hale threatened to murder Adam in his pram. Scarred in the face when Carla defended herself, Hale spent years in pursuit and, upon catching her, bludgeoned her to death with a baseball bat and attempted to do the same to Adam. Discovering Adam had survived after he successfully hid, Hale pursued him again and pointlessly gunned down one of Adam's neighbours for being in the way, only being stopped when Vera arrested him. In a world full of sympathetic murderers and tragic villains, Hale stood out as a brutal exception.
