Smithy becomes determined to nail Johnson for the stabbing of Chris Hammond, and manages to convince one of the screws to let him run with the case. Meanwhile, Meadows asks DCI Keane from the DPS for his assistance. As CID mount surveillance on both Joel Gates and Carl Caplan, they track Caplan to a meeting with one of Larson's heavies, Tommy Drake. They subsequently discover CCTV footage which confirms that Drake was the go-between who organised the deal between Larson and Caplan. As a delighted Smithy manages to catch Johnson and is informed of his impending release, Meadows gatecrashes Louise's funeral with a warrant for Pete Larson's arrest.
