WRITING ON THE WALL

Writing on the Wall Part 1-Episode 159 
Murphy manages to get a confession from Taviner, when she presses him on his involvement in the station fire that killed six. CID's operation into the dodgy heroin dealer is compromised when PC Best tries to apologise to his father for assaulting him the day before. However, when the target pulls a gun, Alan stops him from shooting Gary, but Alan is subsequently abducted. Will Best be able to thank his father and make it up with him, or is it too late? Des and Hollis chase a youth robbing the elderly, and when an elderly man is stabbed, his wife has a heart attack and dies of the shock. Taviner is angered, and beats up the prime suspect when Kane refuses to take any action. PC Taviner is furious when Gold tells him that Sheelagh is bound for New Scotland Yard with Okaro, fearing she will expose his role in the station fire. When another robbery comes in over the radio, Des's pursuit of the prime suspect ends in a chemical warehouse, sending a massive explosion through the building and the Area Car.
