The team continue the search for the gunman responsible for the death of Paul Sorrel.
The team reassess all the evidence they have. Prime suspects Devon Marshall (Anthony Welsh) and Jedda Atkins (Ashley Gerlach) have been released on bail due to a lack of evidence. Sergeant Jo Masters (Sally Rogers) tells the team that by all accounts Paul Sorrel (Eddy Elsey) was a good teenager and that he had never been in trouble with the police before. D.S Max Carter (Christopher Fox) is determined to use Jasmine Harris (Faye Daveney), a local teenager who has been speaking to Mickey Webb about the shooting as an informant and is certain she has the information that will unlock the whole case. D.C Mickey Webb (Chris Simmons) feels it is too dangerous for Jasmine to get involved further and tries to persuade Max against speaking to her. Mickey is furious when D.I Neil Manson (Andrew Lancel) gives Max the go ahead to use Jasmine as an informant.
Commander Kennedy (Julie Graham) is overseeing the case and Superintendent Jack Meadows (Simon Rouse) is conscious that she will want to know about the morale within the team following Sergeant Stone’s suspension. Sergeant Smith (Alex Walkinshaw) reassures him that morale is picking up after Jo Masters recently stuck up for the team when they were criticised by uniform.
After visiting the scene where Paul Sorrel was killed with Paul’s mother, P.C Leon Taylor (Dominic Power) witnesses Paul’s cousin Bobby Sorrel (Rupert Simonian) and Uncle Gary Sorrel (Pete McCabe) arguing nearby. A short time later Bobby Sorrel is taken to the police station by his father Gary and forced to speak to D.S Max Carter (Christopher Fox) about Paul’s involvement in drugs. Bobby reveals that Paul had bought forty bags of cannabis to sell on as a one off to get some money for his mother who was struggling financially. Bobby claims that he was with Paul earlier in the evening but then went home to watch football with his dad Gary who confirms this.
The team review CCTV from the night of the shooting, they see Bobby Sorrel walking home and are surprised when they see him stop to talk to Jedda Atkins. When questioned Bobby confirms he spoke to him but claims that Jedda wanted to rob him.
D.S Max Carter and D.C Jacob Banks (Patrick Robinson) go and speak to Devon Marshall again, they know he is a low level dealer and believe that he and Paul were in the deal together with Paul supplying the cash and Devon supplying the cannabis splitting the profit 50/50. They know he is probably being threatened by Jedda Atkins who has gone underground and offer him witness protection. Devon declines and is shaken up when his house is robbed and his car set alight. The team are frustrated further when C.S.E Eddie Olosunje (Jason Barnett) is unable to find any forensic evidence that links either Devon Marshall or Jedda Atkins to the incident.
The case is solved when Devon Marshall strikes a deal with D.C Jacob Banks and D.C Mickey Webb and agrees to give a statement. He reveals that he was with Paul Sorrel at the time of the shooting and that Jedda Atkins did try and rob him and Paul as the team suspected, but that the person that pulled the trigger was not Jedda but in fact a very surprising culprit.
