New Sun Hill Pc Kirsty Knight (Sarah Manners – Doctors, Mile High, Casualty) has to hit the ground running when her first case is the assault of a fellow officer. Sgt Callum Stone is on his way home after a night out with friends when he sees a woman being beaten by a man. He tries to help the woman but she runs off and he gets a brutal beating for his trouble. Pcs Roger Valentine and Nate Roberts find Callum covered in blood and eventually trace the woman, Clarinda. But she tells Sgt Jo Masters she was being mugged and has nothing more to say. Callum leaves hospital and returns to work with plenty to say but Inspector Smith tells him he can only stay if he remains inside the station. Outside, Kirsty and Jo have gone to Clarinda’s pub and realise that her barman, Tim, matches Callum’s description of his attacker. At his home, they find Clarinda’s son Andy lobbing a brick through Tim’s window. It turns out he’s been dealing marijuana for Tim who has made someone angry enough to pour petrol through the pub’s letterbox. That’s what Clarinda and Tim were fighting about. All this means that Callum now knows who gave him a beating and, late at night, he evens the score. Jo’s not prepared to let him get away with it, though...
