The Bill

Beech is Back (1) (17x61)

Air date: Aug 21, 2001

Part One: Beech returns to London and pulls off a £6.5 million pound safety deposit box robbery, using a car bomb as a distraction. Stanton, now with a security firm, is assigned the task of retrieving documents stolen in the heist for a particularly rich client. While Beech's old friend Tommy cashes up his haul, Beech's firm are becoming increasingly frustrated at not receiving their cut of the cash. While Stanton continues to engineer the safe return of the documents, and organises a drop off, she spots none other than Frankie Nguyen getting into the back of a cab. Tommy is then attacked by Frankie in a jealous rage, and when Beech arrives to collect his haul, he finds Tommy's lifeless body on the kitchen floor.
