BORDERLINE

Beech discovers a gun used in a recent shooting whilst raiding the den of a local drug dealer. Meanwhile, it's Cass Rickman's first day at Sun Hill, and she is entrusted with the task of taking the gun to the lab for forensic testing. When she stops to render assistance to a mugging victim, a young man reaches in her panda car and steals it. Mannion is then drafted in by Area to lead a retrieval operation, but Beech and Brownlow have other ideas, and the pair begin an investigation of their own. As Rickman goes undercover as a buyer for the weapon, meeting gangleader Leroy Jones, Mannion and CID nearly blow the entire op by sending an unsuspecting Glaze and Rawton in to watch the deal go down.
