Detectives from the Murder Investigation Team deal with an attack in Greenwich, where 30-year-old Jozef Boci is violently beaten after a night out. Jozef, whose partner is pregnant with her first child, dies six days later from his injuries. Jozef’s parents, who brought him to Britain 20 years ago as a refugee from Kosovo, are devastated by the loss of their son. DS Brendan Ward and his team are determined to track down those responsible. After forensic investigation of 100 hours of CCTV, six men are identified on camera as suspects. An expert lip reader is consulted to review some key footage of the suspects, in order to understand more about the motive for the attack. The lip reader gives a chilling account of something mouthed by one of the prime suspects. The detectives are keen to get justice for what they believe is an innocent man who went out for a drink on a Saturday night and didn’t come home.

In central London response officers PC Alex Orme and PC Lydia Vanbergen are on patrol in Westminster, where a woman is arrested and taken to custody. At the nearest police station in Charing Cross, all 62 cells are full, so the officers head several miles away to Islington, where they have to wait a number of hours before they can check in their suspect. When they finally do so, concerns for her mental health require that she is kept on a 24-hour watch, and with no spare custody officers, it falls to Alex to watch over her.

In Croydon, detectives from CID are on the hunt for a serial burglar. The burglar has recently been caught on CCTV at a number of attempted break-ins, and detectives discover that the suspect is already wanted for other offences. The team prioritise trying to track him down via his getaway car and spend several days playing cat and mouse until they finally get a breakthrough. Show less
