The Bill

A Small Price to Pay (Part One) (21x54)

: 14, 2005

Best investigates when a pallet of stolen lamps are found for sale on a stall at the local market. As he and Masters interview the trader, Russell Horwood, they discover a number of fake delivery dockets which indicate that the lamps were never intended for retail. Later, a delivery van and a number of the lamps are found torched on some nearby wasteground, and Best and Masters struggle to find a reason why – until an eagle-eyed Stamp discovers traces of white powder inside one of the lamps confiscated during Horwood's arrest. However, unable to relay the information to the impending raid team, Best, Masters and Sim find themselves staring down the barrel of a gun. Meanwhile, Gold opens up to ex-boyfriend Jonathan Fox, who knocks her back, stating he is with someone else.
