A CLOSE SHAVE

a Close Shave-Episode 148 
Bradford ignores the urgent calls of domestic violence victim Paula Robinson and her son, and is shocked when she is brutally beaten by her husband. Paula's young son volunteers to act as bait for the father when he eludes the police, but De Costa begins to have serious doubts about Bradford. Now working as a CAD officer, Cryer realises that Bradford's deceit is responsible for the assault on Paula, and threatens to tell all to Okaro. A desperate Bradford calls Cryer and insists the reason she's been so out of sorts is because she has a stalker. She then requests urgent assistance, which Cryer knows is a lie, and ignores. When a 999 call comes through, Taviner and Kent find Bradford badly injured in a stairwell.
