Superintendent Heaton (Daniel Flynn) and Inspector Gina Gold (Roberta Taylor) brief the troops about an attack on Rafi Hassar (Khalid Laith), a young man left for dead next to a pile of ‘Rock Against Racism’ concert flyers. They are concerned that racist gang, The Bulldogs of Patriotism, may have been involved in the attack and are planning to cause trouble at the concert that evening.
DCs Terry Perkins (Bruce Byron) and Jo Masters (Sally Rogers) visit Rafi in hospital and are shocked when the doctors confirm he was tied up and whipped. Rafi’s father, Ahmad (Hassani Shapi), becomes irate when Rafi’s uncle, Nadim Mura (Vic Tablian), visits and accuses Mura of leading Rafi astray. Mura later tells Jo and Terry that Ahmed is hostile towards him as his mosque contributed towards the concert and Rafi was distributing flyers for him when he was attacked.
Elsewhere, Sergeant Stone (Sam Callis) and PC Diane Noble (Kaye Wragg) visit local MP Paul Saggar (Tom Chadbon) who is also a contributor of ‘Rock Against Racism’. They are greeted by his assistant Derek Jacobs (Colin McFarlane) who explains that their offices were broken into but nothing was stolen. Later, at the concert venue, Heaton and Gina are dismayed when they see Sagger saunter in to prepare for a live interview.
Having already crossed swords with Heaton earlier in the day, Saggar pushes him further when he talks publicly to the news presenter, Alex Lovell (Lisa Spence, presenter for BBC South West), about Rafi’s attack. Angry, Heaton steps in and the interview escalates into an argument live on air – leaving Heaton furious that Saggar’s actions may have provoked an already tense racial situation.
After further investigation, Terry and Jo discover that Rafi was whipped by his father when he found out he was helping his uncle with the leafleting. With the concert in full flow, the officers receive an urgent call to say Ahmad is on the warpath and heading to the venue. The tension at the event mounts when Saggar and Mura walk on stage together to address the excited crowds, Ahmad is spotted and the sound of gunshots rings out around the concert hall…
Thursday 15 November
Following the double shooting at the Rock against Racism concert, MP Paul Sagger (Tom Chadbon) and Nadim Mura (Vic Tablian) lay in hospital where Mura manages to whisper the name ‘Abdul Muntqim’ to Superintendent Heaton (Daniel Flynn).
The panic button is later pushed in Mura’s room and Heaton is stunned when Mura is found dead. Back at the station, a briefing is held and DC Grace Dasari (Amita Dhiri) suggests the shooting may have something to do with Sagger’s smuggling activities as he owns a dagger which was found to be looted from a Baghdad museum. Mura’s brother, Ahmed Hassar (Hassani Shapi) is questioned and admits that although he resented Mura, he didn’t shoot him.
CID are interested when CCTV footage shows hospital porter Paul Forsyth (Roger Monk) walking past the armed guards and into Mura’s hospital room. DCs Jo Masters (Sally Rogers) and Terry Perkins (Bruce Byron) make their way to Forsyth’s house and are intrigued when they find leaflets from a radical group, The Bulldogs of Patriotism, and photographs of Mura on his wall.
Elsewhere, Grace discovers that Muntqim, the man Mura mentioned, is an antique dealer and when she questions Sagger and Derek Jacobs (Colin McFarlane) about the dagger, they both deny knowing anything about it.
Later, as Grace and DI Neil Manson (Andrew Lancel) realise Heaton was one of the intended targets on the night of the shooting, Neil calls Heaton who is driving Sagger from the hospital back to Sun Hill for questioning. Neil is horrified when, suddenly, there’s a loud explosion and the telephone line goes dead
