The Bill: Episode 24
Tóm tắt
PCs Nick Klein and Cass Rickman spend half the night reporting back at the nick after making an arrest outside a club still flying on ecstasy. They somehow manage to keep it together in front of the relief but the strain begins to show. After catching his colleague doing some off-duty prowling round Harry Fullerton's apartment, DC Danny Glaze questions PC Des Taviner's motives. While the reasons for their obsessive interest in the case are poles apart, proving Harry's innocence is the common goal and they join forces to investigate his private life. Never one to miss an opportunity, especially one she's manipulated, DS Debbie McAllister reminds the superintendent of a promise he made about a course on computer crime. She grabs him for a private word but DI Alex Cullen is suspicious about the creeping round and hushed conversations. A domestic incident handled by the increasingly weary team of Nick and Cass isn't as straightforward as they would have hoped. A woman is encouraged to repo

A prostitute, a fat cat ex-pat, his ex-wife, her new husband and some stolen giros add up to a conspiracy theory that DC Eva Sharpe just won't give up on. Sergeant Craig Gilmore certainly doesn't count on Eva's unrelenting digging when it comes to uncovering a master plan involving stolen giro cheques. She may not do things his way and he definitely might not agree but with Eva on the case it's best not to argue. After complaining to PC Jim Carver that she's missed the career boat, Superintendent Chandler puts a smile on Sergeant June Ackland's face by revealing she'll be heading up a new Community Safety Unit. Turning down a drink with PC Jim Carver to focus on her new position means a career might not be the only boat she'll miss. PC Des Taviner enlists PC Reg Hollis's help in paying a visit to Harry Fullerton's apartment. The Murder Investigation Team needs solid evidence before they can make the arrest stick. Des is taken in by a helpful neighbour but makes a nervous departure when

Acting Inspector Matt Boyden orders Jim and June to investigate a repeat prowler at a woman's house. She's far more receptive to the male officers and Sergeant June Ackland is convinced the woman is crying wolf to have a man around the house. She does nothing to disguise her resentment and Jim sees it as a sign of her personal feelings getting in the way of her professional opinion. Now that MIT have no other option but to let Harry Fullerton go as prime suspect in the bombing DC Danny Glaze and PC Des Taviner are desperate to catch the 'right' man. So when Danny and DC Duncan Lennox finally make up. He's more than happy to tap his friend in MIT for information on Simpson. It's a handy distraction from the problems at home. He pays a visit to Simpson's colleague in the bookstore. When Simpson's alibi starts to look watertight Des and Danny begin to search even more desperately for evidence against him. The more feverishly Des acts though, the more Danny wants to know his motives for ca

Emotions run high at Sun Hill. Word is rife the bombing's confessor needs an escort to Barton Street nick and everyone wants a piece of him. Meanwhile DC Mickey Webb's whereabouts is a mystery to DI Alex Cullen, as is a straight answer to what he's working on. DS Debbie McAllister pays a cheeky visit to the superintendent's office but he plays it cool and explains their little liaison at the memorial service was just a one-off affair. He wants to concentrate on the station's reputation, and with the go ahead for a new Community Safety Unit his attention lies on police business. DC Danny Glaze and new recruit DC Eva Sharpe join forces to investigate a series of serious attacks on Eastern European taxi drivers. They have a solid piece of evidence against a suspect but he proves difficult to pin down. While PCs Jim Carver and Cathy Bradford think they can help with a lead but don't see eye to eye over policing ethics. Murder Investigation Team duo, Devlin and Hayes, want a written report

Two men are brought in after their armed robbery gets out of hand and a security guard is shot. They seem to have a lot in common including a wife but for a couple of guys doing a robbery together there's no love lost between them and DS Debbie McAllister and DC Eva Sharpe are assigned to sort their stories out. Detective Superintendent Devlin from the MIT team is astounded at PC Taviner's 'good luck' in discovering both the bike that was used in Chief Inspector Conway's killing, and managing to tie Ian Burrows, Simpson's toe rag of a acquaintance, to it. It's Des's lucky day, but will that evidence alone be enough to bring Simpson down properly? Meanwhile Debbie and Eva's rivalry in the case of the two lads reaches betting point. It's handbags at dawn with mounting resentment over Eva's popularity with the rest of the Sun Hill officers. While Debbie is positive she's got Superintendent Chandler on her side Eva's naturally astute and has a plan to prove she's right. With £20 and a whol

It's the day of the memorial service and Superintendent Chandler is determined to make a good impression and a moving speech. While Des carries the Met Standard down the aisle the real weight is on his mind. He's just been assigned a babysitting task he'd really rather not have and all eyes are on him today. Reg lends a sympathetic ear and proves his friendship. Meanwhile Harry Fullerton, the decorator employed to renovate Sun Hill before the explosion (and top of the Murder Investigation Team's most wanted list), makes an unwelcome appearance. PC Tony Stamp can't believe the cheek of him and starts to cause a scene. Luckily the old guard is on hand with a characteristically level head. New CID member DC Eva Sharpe turns up for her first day on the job. After practically ploughing into DC Mickey Webb's car she's told to take over his case while he attends the service. While Mickey would rather not listen to the superintendent's eulogy he relents and Eva goes to keep an eye on local a d

An old style big time crook, Frankie Steele, pays a visit to Sun Hill and asks DCI Jack Meadows to scare his youngest son, Toby, away from the crime game... without letting on it was his own dad who's grassed him up. While it seems like a simple nick 'em and scare' em kind of job, Jack's been burnt by Frankie's kind before, and unless he gets some kind of favour in return it's not going ahead. More importantly, can he risk screwing up while trying to bring down Superintendent Chandler? PC Des Taviner is uncharacteristically eager to let PC Tony Stamp drive the area car for the shift while he accompanies MIT on the search at Simpson's bookshop premises. When a pair of trousers covered in glass and fuel turns up in his wardrobe Simpson swears blind it's a fit up... and finally loses his cool. While the majority of the relief enjoy a laugh with Reg's lottery scheme, relations are not running so smoothly in CID. DC Eva Sharpe receives some bad news DS Debbie McAllister should have relayed

PC Jim Carver is angry at suggestions the blaze was an inside job. He goes to his MIT interview thinking there's nothing to declare, but when they ask precisely what he was 'discussing' with Sergeant June Ackland just prior to the blast, he falters. If only he'd listened to PC Reg Hollis's warnings about guilty 'micro expressions'. The death of his colleagues has affected PC Stamp deeply so when he discovers a young lad has been nicking flowers from the Sun Hill wreaths he concentrates on tracking him down. In doing so, he directly disobeys June's orders to head straight to a mugging victim who's been waiting on the street for an officer. With the memorial service the following day Superintendent Tom Chandler's thoughts are on how the spectacle will reflect on his station. He orders Des to carry the Met flag but Des's priority is certainly not on becoming the station hero to focus on. It's his first day back on the job and he's not ready to be high profile. Chandler reminds him what po

PC Tony Stamp organises a Sun Hill team to play a match against a group of young offenders. He's got his job cut out for him convincing Cass she's their secret star weapon and keeping Matt Boyden and Craig Gilmore from shedding blood on the pitch. While Matt's unrelenting homophobic comments cause the two sergeants to practically trade punches it's the young offenders that come under the spotlight during the game. After an old man is discovered dead in his council flat nasty rumours about his paedophilic past mean Danny and Eva have their work cut out getting the truth out of the kids. Meanwhile Danny's in a crisis. He's got an interview with the MIT team and Des's career hangs in the balance while he decides whether or not to corroborate his story. Should he say he heard Simpson confessing to blowing up Sun Hill and killing some of it's finest officers, does the end justify the means?. And CID doesn't get any calmer. With Danny in knots, Duncan still coping with his separation, Mickey

As the team hold a respectful minute's silence for those lost in the blaze DS Debbie McAllister is busy 'finding' evidence against a known safecracker, Peter Grace. He smugly waits in reception with his weasely lawyer, knowing full well (like many other suspects in the area) that the one piece of evidence against him has perished in the fire. He underestimates Debbie's resources. Back at the hospital, PCs Cass Rickman and Des Taviner hold a bedside vigil, watchful for signs of life from PC Sam Harker. They are interrupted by Superintendent Tom Chandler asking Des to speak to the press who want a 'hero' to emerge from the explosion. His concern doesn't wash with Des who knows hypocrisy when he sees it. He walks out commenting that 'something has turned his stomach'. But while tragedy has struck at Sun Hill nick, crime hasn't stopped on the streets. Matthew Boyden is hastily appointed Acting Inspector, he immediately rules the roost and Sergeant Craig Gilmore is more than a little miffed

Craig starts the day filing a grievance procedure against Matt after last week's homophobic taunts but Sgt June Ackland warns him off. She quietly suggests that ""There's no better teacher than experience."" A nudge and a wink in Matt's direction raises an eyebrow or two, along with Matt's blood pressure. PC Tony Stamp takes young Gary out on the streets to track down a mysterious vigilante who's been beating up kids from the local Estates. His streetwise approach proves invaluable with the youngsters- but nothing he's got up his sleeve can prepare him for being stuck between DS Debbie McAllister and DC Eva Sharpe's game of one-upmanship. PCs Cass Rickman and Nick Klein head out for yet another night on the tiles but not before spying Harry Fullerton (Sun Hill's false confessor) gazing into his pint. Reg pays him a visit and offers some help but finds a sad old man who's moved on to regaling stories about the Falklands. Armed with an ecstasy pill in her handbag, Cass watches as Nick head

Superintendent Tom Chandler reads out the names of the dead and injured whilst trying to maintain dignity in the face of the public and the press. Sergeants June Ackland, Matt Boyden and Craig Gilmore are left discussing the unenviable task of speaking to the families and loved ones of their fellow officers. The boys make their excuses and a grief stricken June is left with to make the calls on her own. DC Danny Glaze convinces himself that if he'd spoken out against DS Vik Singh's indiscretions in the first place, none of this would have spiraled out of control like it has. He's determined to track down their prime suspect Jeff Simpson and enlists DC Duncan Lennox, saying he's determined to prove him guilty with or without Duncan's help. They search but Simpson knows they can't pin anything on him and arrogantly waits for them on the bonnet of Duncan's car. Meanwhile DC Mickey Webb's grief becomes unbearable. Superintendent Tom Chandler quietly suggests to DCI Jack Meadows that Mickey

DC Ken Drummond turns up for his first day at Sun Hill. Fresh from Barton Street nick, he steps straight off a burger van, and into CID. With tensions rising between Debbie and Eva and DI Alex Cullen doing his utmost to contain it he'll wonder what kind of mad house he's lumbered with. Never mind, a fry up will sort all that out... After the horror of attending a suicide PC's Nick Klein and Cass Rickman go on to discover a couple of children playing in contaminated waste. It's just the tip of a toxic iceberg but Cass's mind is elsewhere. She's beside herself over the loss of her handbag. There was an 'e' loose in there, likely to be nestled right beside her warrant card. Inspector Gina Gold turns up for duty, (fag in hand) and takes no time to ruffle feathers. Not before stashing her bottle of whiskey and putting her ashtray in pride of place though. She makes it clear it's her show, she'll be running it, and anyone thinking differently had just better re-evaluate their position. Start
