Third of seven programmes filmed over two years inside the secretive world of HM Customs and Excise. Surveillance

The investigators' frustrations grow as they spend fruitless days waiting in the freezing cold for their quarry to show. Tensions boil over into arguments until they sight their man for the first time.
