Uitzenddatum: Mei 26, 2009

Proceedings begin with Darryl in Exmouth, on his way to assist fellow officers who've been called in to deal with a young man who's threatened his family with a knife. The person concerned has holed up in a friend's house, and all descend, not entirely sure what they will find. Matters are quite tense, and the suspect appears to have scarpered according to the gentleman they speak to when they arrive. Matters soon deteriorate as the suspect's attempt at subterfuge falls to bits under questioning, and he attempts to leave as soon as it becomes clear that he's not got away with his pretence – a move which leads to a bit of a ruck in the back yard. It turns out that he hasn't got a knife – but the damage is done and he's going in. Out on the road with the RCU, Roger is sitting up on a bridge over the M5 near Tiverton with Mark waiting for a vehicle they've been alerted to which may be involved in the supply of drugs. He's sitting up nice and warm in the Beemer, while Mark is freezing his nuts off watching for the car from the bridge rail, and Giles is out on the motorway in another car actively hunting. He's found it, so Roger and Mark charge down to join him. It's a textbook stop, and the driver is quickly out. While he's being dealt with, Giles spots the female passenger fidgeting around her bust, and bolts out of his car to stop her. She claims not to know the driver, and is not at all happy at being handcuffed – standard procedure for a drugs search. Back at the nick, it's strip search time, and the passenger's wrap of heroin is discovered in her bra. In the car, however, Roger's sure there's more drugs – but he can't find them, so in goes a hugely enthusiastic spaniel called Oscar who has a much better nose than Roger does. Success! Out comes a brown sock stuffed with a whopper bag full of what looks like heroin – and there's a lot of it – which now won't be hitting the streets. No wonder Roger's grinning. Back in Exmouth, now with Gareth and Finn.
