rdf:langString When ten-year-old Jodie Gaines is found dead in a disused builder's skip, Brooks and Devlin investigate the cab driver who regularly takes Jodie to music lessons. He claims to have dropped Jodie directly outside her teacher's house - but the teacher claims she never arrived. Brooks and Devlin realise one of them is lying - and upon re-interviewing each witness, discover that the taxi driver did not take her all the way to the teacher's house due to roadworks blocking the route. The pair then look at the CCTV footage from the surrounding area. This corroborates the taxi driver's story, and also throws a new light on the investigation when a white builder's van is seen to be following Jodie. Brooks and Devlin suspect that Nick Carlton , an ex-con working for a seemly harmless construction company, was in fact the man who kidnapped Jodie – and forensic evidence ties him to her kidnap. When the case reaches court, the accused is surprisingly allowed bail – but is attacked and murdered by Jodie's mother Kayleigh , a recovering drug addict who lost contact with the girl following a custody battle. Crown prosecutor James Steel seeks a murder conviction, even though he knows that Kayleigh will be likely to have the sympathy of the court. It appears that Kayleigh will be released - but Devlin and Brooks uncover a crucial piece of information: Kayleigh had hired Carlton to kidnap Jodie in a scheme to get cash from tabloids for the story. Nick realized that Jodie was sick and wanted to back out. The prosecution claims that Kayleigh killed him to ensure he did not tell the police of their plan.

rdf:langString A well-known local drug dealer and pimp, Darren McKenzie, is found lying on the ground in a park with what appears to be a missing kidney, Brooks and Devlin realize they must uncover exactly what happened to the man before the attacker strikes again. Their case soon leads to Joanna Woodleigh, a seemingly normal NHS patient who has recently undergone a successful kidney transplant, after two failed previous attempts. When they discover the kidney placed into Joanna belonged to McKenzie, they discover that somebody illegally sneaked the kidney into the hospital, and used it in the otherwise legal operation. When Joanna's father, Phillip revealed he paid Joanna's doctor, John Reberty, £2,000,000 to find Joanna a suitable kidney in any way possible, Brooks and Devlin believe that the doctor, with the help of nurse Martha Kemble , took the kidney from McKenzie as it was the only suitable match. Steel soon struggles as to which one he should put in the dock – but is surprised to discover that George will be defending the case.

rdf:langString An operation involving a police informant and a consignment of drugs goes wrong, resulting in the shooting of an informant, Shahid Nafoor , DS Jimmy Valentine comes under suspicion. He claims that Nafoor pulled the gun on him, and that in a struggle to disarm him, the gun fired. Brooks, who was part of the operation with Valentine, seems sure that his old friend is telling the truth, and has no questions regarding what happened. However, Devlin, who was watching from the background, doesn't seem so sure that Nafoor made the first move. Valentine is investigated, and it soon becomes apparent that Nafoor was a drugs runner for Clyde Mason, whom Valentine had a secret deal with. Devlin discovers that Mason had ordered Valentine to shoot Nafoor, after he discovered that Nafoor had been giving the police information on him. He also discovers that Valentine's relationship with Mason began several years ago, after Mason offered Valentine a sum of money to get him off a drugs possession charge. Valentine did so by arranging someone to remove evidence from the evidence store, meaning Mason would walk free on a technicality. When the case gets to court, however, things become awry. Valentine twists his story, claiming that Brooks was only part of the operation for a specific reason – that he was the person who stole the drugs from the evidence store.

rdf:langString After young police constable Nick Bentley gets caught in a war between two drug dealers he is shot and killed in the crossfire. His partner, PC Ray Griffin , says Nick shouldn't have been on his own but they got separated while on foot patrol. Brooks and Devlin think it's a tragic but pretty straightforward case and eventually locate a witness who identifies one of the parties to the drug transaction. They soon catch drug dealer Theo Carson . Carson shocks them and their boss, DI Natalie Chandler, when he tells them he saw another police constable standing in the shadows while the injured policeman was calling for help. Brooks and Devlin find an anomaly in Griffin's formal statement and things get tense within the police force when they start questioning fellow police officers. Brooks and Devlin discover that Nick was gay and that Bentley's fellow constables had recently learned of his sexual orientation, also that Griffin is the head of a radical Christian group with homophobic tendencies. At the CPS, James Steel and Alesha Phillips think they can prove Griffin was duty-bound to help his dying partner. But their boss, George Castle, doesn't agree. He doesn't want to upset the working relationship they have with the police and thinks the force won't be with them. James and Alesha don't want to let Griffin off the hook, though and argue that Griffin had a duty of care and was obliged to help his dying partner.

rdf:langString When a 13-year-old boy is found kicked to death at Euston Station, first the detectives have to identify him. Their initial assumption is that he is a runaway but the autopsy reveals that he was well fed and in good health. DI Chandler holds a press conference which leads to identifying the victim as Danny Jackson who was in foster care as his mother, Mandy is a former drug addict and currently in a rehab facility. She recently left her live-in boyfriend, Stevie Agnew , who is already suspected of physical abuse towards the victim but he denies ever touching the child and claims not to have seen him since he left his mother. Brooks and Devlin become emotionally affected by the case which seems to involve child abuse and gang violence. The trail leads to the arrest of another young boy, Jono Blake , who was also in care at the same house as Danny. Steel and Phillips face an "old flame" from Steel's past in defence barrister Beatrice McArdle , who attempts a bizarre and audacious line of defence of genetic predisposition towards violence: the suggestion that genes could be responsible for aggressive behaviour. This could upset the whole British legal system since other defendants could claim that genes means that they are not responsible for their actions.

rdf:langString When Phillips' gynaecologist, Dr. Alec Merrick , touches her inappropriately during a routine medical examination, she files a complaint with the police and accuses the respected doctor of sexual assault. Brooks, Devlin and Chandler struggle to find any firm evidence to investigate and the team becomes divided, but can't seem to find any former patients who may have made similar claims. They do however find that he did sleep with some patients, even if they won't accuse him of misconduct, making the conflicting reports from previous clients impossible to make an arrest. After learning that they have insufficient evidence to proceed, Phillips then resorts to desperate means to obtain justice only to make things worse for herself. Returning for a follow-up exam, Merrick drugs and rapes her, which she records on a spy camera. Steel is pitted against formidable defence barrister Phyllis Gladstone , who at trial claims entrapment. When Merrick also claims that the sex was consensual and the apparent rape was in fact role-playing as agreed to by both of them, Steel comes under pressure to secure a conviction.

rdf:langString When the body of ex-vice squad officer, Frank McCallum, is found in the rear seat of his own car in Paddington, it is discovered that he was apparently killed after oral sex. They trace his movements to a young prostitute who has McCallum's wallet in her purse, but forensics eliminates her as a suspect. Though married to an adoring wife Frank had a roving eye and according to the victim's boss , money from the paintballing firm for which he worked is unaccounted for. As they look into their ex-colleague's background, Brooks and Devlin trace McCallum's company credit card to a children's clothing store in Barnes run by two friends, Emma Sandbrook and Kate Barton , only to discover that it is a front for an escort girl service and the two women are moonlighting as high-class prostitutes to pay for their sons' school fees. They charge the women with murder and determine a motive for one of them to have killed the man. Emma's unique and expensive lipstick is identified amongst the forensic evidence in the back of the car. Her "formidable defence barrister", Phyllis Gladstone , argues that McCallum was blackmailing Emma for free sex and attacked her when she tried to get out of the car. He subsequently tried to force her to have sex and she killed him in self-defense. Steel and Alesha are not convinced and prepare to do battle with Gladstone.

rdf:langString When a treasure hunter with a metal detector uncovers a nine-year-old skeleton in shallow grave aside the Thames mudflats, it forces Brooks and Devlin to reopen a contentious murder case when they identify the remains as those of David Ackroyd who disappeared in 1999. His supposed killer and business partner, Luke Slade , was eventually convicted of murder although no corpse was found and an unreliable witness claimed that Slade told him he had slit his victim's throat but the medical examiner finds that he was shot in the head. As a result, it would appear that Slade is the victim of a miscarriage of justice. Steel, however, is far from convinced and, when Slade represents himself in court, it becomes less about the trial and more about the vendetta between the two men. Slade soon files a writ to have his conviction overturned and the Crown prosecutors learn that Slade will represent himself at the appeal. Whilst in jail Slade has become skilled in the law and wins himself a re-trial, putting James Steel's career on the line in the process as was the original trial prosecutor as this was his first case with the Crown Prosecution Service. Steel and the police have to build an entirely new case against him and Steel soon finds himself before his own hearing alleging misconduct in his pursuit of Slade but fortunately for Steel, a visit to Slade's old cell-mate yields results. * Original episode and this adaptation inspired by the Billionaire Boys Club case.

rdf:langString When an arson attack on a Turkish club claims kills 17 people, all undocumented illegal immigrants, Brooks and Devlin are under pressure to discover just who was behind it. Using CCTV, they manage to trace a suspect to a nearby hospital and what was first thought of as a racist attack soon turns out to be a lot more complicated. The perpetrator, Nazim Kazaba , is caught as part of the device he used went off in the blast and something embedded in his leg but is refusing treatment, the situation is not helped when a suspect's human rights gets in the way of obtaining the crucial evidence. Steel's attempt to force the man to undergo treatment is unsuccessful so the police just wait for the wound to fester and, with evidence finally in hand, charge him with murder. The defendant decides to cut a deal and his information leads them to Ediz Kilic , one of the most prominent members of London's Turkish community who is also a people smuggler who Kazaba claims forced him to silence the clubbers, who were ready to expose his activities. The prosecutors struggle to build a case as a conflict emerges between justice, community relations and racial harmony. Steel jeopardises his friendship with a Turkish school mate, who resents being under suspicion, from his student days to get information to bring Kilic down. * Original episode and this adaptation inspired by the Happy Land fire caused by Julio Gonzalez.

rdf:langString A homeless man with bipolar disorder, Roland Kirk , is discovered severely beaten in a well-cared-for residential square of an East London estate, the police are called in for an attempted murder case. Kirk had unofficially moved into the community, and had been living out of a camper van in the square for some time, mainly causing trouble with his homeless friends. The law becomes a minefield for detectives Brooks and Devlin as they discover their list of suspects is long. Kirk was not really welcome on the estate, his presence taunting the residents who made countless complaints to the police, only to see him return once the police move him away. When the investigation reveals that the CCTV cameras had been turned away, indicating that the attack may have been planned, many in the neighbourhood refuse to cooperate, and none are willing to give up the person who did what so many of them wanted to do. Suspicion falls onto Joe Butts , a seemingly harmless guy whose girlfriend the homeless man had been stalking. When Kirk regains consciousness, he claims that he has no recollection of who attacked him - except that remembered seeing a dragon before he fell unconscious. It is soon discovered that the 'dragon' is in fact a pattern on the dressing gown of Butts - and he is brought in and charged. However, he reveals there was more than one man there that night and Joe tells them it was hapless father Harry Morgan who is soon charged with Kirk's assault. Steel believes he has a secure case with several motives - including the Kirk assaulting and breaking Morgan's wife Irene's arm, and Kirk converting Morgan's son Nate into his way of life. When the case reaches court, however, Morgan claims he acted in self-defence.

The trail of suspects soon leads to Gerry Craig , a known drug-dealer who had regular contact with Debbie. He, however, leads Brooks and Devlin to believe that Debbie had a secret boyfriend – and that he was the one who had a contact in Thailand, and had arranged for Debbie to smuggle the drugs into the country. When her secret boyfriend is discovered to be family friend Jack Gilmore , Brooks and Devlin discover Debbie was one in a long line of mules whom Gilmore had sent on holiday to smuggle drugs for him.
