Plot summary

Ronnie and Sam are called out to the scene of a man found dead in his car. They immediately discover that he was not alone, and soon manage to track down his female friend. While on the search for a " Harry Hill " lookalike who was seen at the scene of the crime, they are distracted when they are called to the scene of a man who has hit his brother over the head during a violent row, after his brother attacked him. As they interview a suspect in the case of the dead man, they discover that the suspect in question, Roland Hextor, had apparently been spotted following one of the man's female colleagues just weeks earlier.

To make matters worse, in interview, he refuses to provide any information as to where he was on the night in question. Just as they are about to charge Hextor, they discover the weapon used to kill the victim does not match a weapon found in Hextor's possession, leaving their case with no leads. With hours of CCTV to trawl through, the detectives soon become worklogged when the case of the man who fought with his brother turns into a murder charge. With two cases to deal with, a further spanner is thrown into the works when a defendant on trial accuses Sam of intimidating him during interview.
