The Bill

Kidnap and Ransom (20x3)

: 14, 2004

Bradford promises to release Kane's kids in exchange for Kane as a hostage, but when Gold refuses, Okaro overrides her decision. Bradford then insists Kane choose between his children. Forcing Kane to handcuff himself, Bradford relives the events of the past year, including the death of Kane's wife Tanya. The station is evacuated, and the TSG arrive to provide support. Bradford's stories become increasingly unbelievable, as she tells Kane that she was abducted by a serial killer as a child. Nixon and Sharpe trawl through Bradford's history and discover that she has been lying. When Bradford moves Kane out of range of the TSG probe, Okaro authorises TSG to force entry into the boiler room.
