Witness: Innocent Blood
Wednesday 16th January 2008 8:00pm - 9:00pm on ITV1.

Sergeant Smith (Alex Walkinshaw) helps Tito Morientes (Christian Reyno), who has been slashed with a knife outside girlfriend Alisha Danniels’ (Amandla Crichlow) house party on the notorious Jasmine Allen estate. Smithy spots Carly Samuels (Marsha Leanne Crosby), a young girl he has recently been helping and she gives a description of the suspect to PC Diane Noble (Kaye Wragg). Diane and Smithy later spot the suspect, Eric Benton (Michael Sewell) who gets away but drops a bag containing his fluorescent work vest.

Later, PCs Nate Roberts (Ben Richards) and Emma Keane (Melanie Gutteridge) find Eric, who has been beaten up by Carly’s boyfriend, Marlon Reed (Jude Owusu Achiaw). Eric uses his free running skills to get away but when he is finally questioned, admits he stole Tito’s money but didn’t knife him. Further investigation shows the slash on Tito’s back is identical to a tag that Marlon uses and when questioned by Smithy he smugly says that the police have nothing on him. Later, Smithy visits Carly and Leanne Samuels (Lorna Brown) at home where Carly confides that she’s scared of Marlon and the estate and has decided to make a new life for herself outside London.

PC Beth Green (Louisa Lytton) and Nate are forced to rescue young boy Dennis Andrews (Joe Siffleet) from a car he has set alight and while in hospital, he confesses that he has been looking after his grandmother by himself and that he sets fire to things as a release. After his shift, Nate visits Dennis at home and is pleased to see that a relative is now helping them out. Afterwards, he bumps into Sally Armstrong (Ali Bastian) and Beth who are on patrol but they are soon disturbed by a screeching car, gunshots and screaming. Diane and Smithy, also on the estate hear the commotion, run to the scene and are stunned to discover that Carly has been shot.


Witness: Wall Of Silence
Thursday 17 January 2008 8:00pm - 9:00pm on ITV1.

Sergeant Smith (Alex Walkinshaw), along with PCs Beth Green (Louisa Lytton) and Diane Noble (Kaye Wragg) desperately try to keep Carly Samuels (Marsha Leanne Crosby) alive after she is shot, while PCs Sally Armstrong (Ali Bastian) and Tony Stamp (Graham Cole) discover that the car used in the shooting has been set on fire. In the ambulance, Smithy begs Carly to stay awake but at the hospital, despite the doctor’s best efforts, Carly dies and the Sergeant struggles to deal with his emotions.

Back at the station, the officers are briefed on Carly’s murder and Smithy is tasked as the family liaison officer. On the estate, a mobile police unit is set up, sparking different reactions from the officers. Beth decides that Harry the dog, who has helped them with previous investigations, should be brought in to assist them with community liaison. PC Nate Roberts (Ben Richards) laughs at the idea, but changes his mind when Harry attracts the females on the estate.

An interested member of the public, Maurice Thompson (Cleveland Campbell), gives the officers valuable information, but they are furious when they later realise he has been lying in order to be involved in the high profile case. Later, Carly’s best friend Alisha Danniels (Amandla Crichlow) runs terrified to Smithy telling him that Marlon Reed (Jude Owusu Achiaw) has gone after her boyfriend, Tito Morientes (Christian Reyno). Officers rush to the scene where they find Marlon with a gun to Tito’s head.
