A young Russian girl leads Smithy out of a nightclub, where he is promptly attacked by three men. An innocent bystander attempts to prevent the attack but is himself badly injured. Chandler assigns Alex to investigate the assault. They track down the Russian girl, Natasha Ivanova, through a language school, which seems to be recruiting students to work as prostitutes. Natasha is desperate as her visa is about to expire, and her sister has disappeared without trace. When her sister is found murdered, Smithy realises the men responsible for her death and his assault are linked to a colleague from his old army unit, and goes all-out to discover why someone would want to have him beaten up.
Mickey and Paul wait outside a cafe, whilst inside Debbie is conducting a rather clumsy undercover sting on a suspected drug dealer. Alex is furious when the suspect is released without charge following Debbie's poor handling of the case. Resentful of Vik's success in recruiting local informants, Debbie manages to coax some information from solicitor's clerk Jamie Ross, which eventually leads to a successful arrest when information from Ross blows apart a stabbing suspect's alibi. Pleased with her success, Debbie is determined to convince Ross to work as an informant for her. Meanwhile, Paul meets up with his brother Joe, who seems to be in some trouble with the Nottinghamshire Police.
Jack is determined to bring one of his nemeses, Andy Burton, to justice for a safety deposit box robbery he committed in the 80's, for which there was little evidence to prove his involvement. In order to gather evidence on Andy, who is serving twenty years in Shadwell for armed robbery, he sends Danny undercover into the prison. Danny soon befriends a convicted paedophile, Ricky Sefton, who provides him with information on Andy's dealings, and when the pair become acquainted, Danny finds himself in the middle of a delicate situation - breaking out of prison whilst holding a guard at gunpoint. However, unbeknown to him, Andy has already discovered he's a cop, and has already plotted his downfall.
When Duncan is accused of planting evidence in an armed robbery case, Jack is determined to prove his innocence, and to find evidence to charge the suspect's accomplice, Phil Brown. Unfortunately, Brown claims to have been an informant for former Sun Hill alumni Don Beech, which makes Chandler determined to drop the case at all costs. When an old friend of Jack reveals that George Stubbs had previously bribed Chandler's DS at Park Rise, Jack realises he has some ammunition against Chandler, and uses it to gain the leverage he requires on Brown. Meanwhile, Matt and Vicky help Roz recover her ASP when it is stolen during the pursuit of a robbery suspect.
Debbie's bulldozer approach gets her into trouble with Ackland over a sensitive case.
Ackland visits Cryer in hospital as he recovers from his shooting at the hands of Smith. Ackland is horrified to find that he doesn't know he has already been replaced at Sun Hill. His replacement is Craig Gilmore, who has transferred down from Manchester Police. Gilmore wastes no time in telling the relief that the rumours are true: he is gay. Meanwhile, Lennox investigates the harassment of a local publican by a gang of youths, but when Gilmore organises a 'beat sweep' of the local estates, they find the publican's daughter is involved with the gang and is feeding them information on the police raids. Her information leads the relief to an illegal drinking club. As the relief arrest the gang members, one of them accuses Harker of brutality.
Mickey poses as a 'rent-boy' in Eddington Park, a well-known gay beat in Sun Hill, as he and Duncan investigate a series of brutal attacks on gay men in the area. A car alarm alerts Mickey and Duncan to the car of a local MLA parked in the bushes. When questioned, the MLA claims he was car-jacked and certainly was not 'cruising' in the park. He threatens legal action against the station, and Chandler moves quickly to prevent further damage to Sun Hill's reputation. A helpful security guard offers the police an observation post in a nearby office building, but Mickey becomes suspicious of the guard's attitude.
With the Section House closing, Reg is not only looking for a new place to live, but is also applying for a transfer to SO14, the Royal Protection Unit. As he closes on a sale to buy a flat owned by an elderly friend, Doreen Tyler, she changes her mind at the last minute, so he moves in with Tony. Reg's intuition gives CID an important lead on a planned armed robbery, but his uniformed colleagues conspire against him to have Nick organise the Section House closing party instead of him. Upset that his colleagues no longer value his credibility, Reg decides to skip the party and goes round to visit Doreen, only to find her lying on her living room floor with head injuries.
Tony and Nick try to find an alibi for Reg, who is the prime suspect in a murder investigation, while CID try to trace the victim's long lost daughter.

It was me and mike in our hometown
We were hangin out playin on the playground
We were runnin round doin our thing
Then up walks James and his gang
We said hey we dont want any trouble
Then james said well I hate to burst your bubble
But your about to get your butt kicked bad
Your bout to get shot, your bout to get stabbed
Then james sent two of his guys
We punched them in the eye and they both began to cry
Mike said james you better back up
You keep talkin smack you gon get smacked up
James said go attack right now
The situation turned into a real fight now
2 vs 2 were the two man crew
Yeah its true cuz we stick together just like glue
It's a fight to the finish a battle to the death
The only one who leaves is the last man left
We're the toughest of the tough, we're the best of the best
We're the best and we're better than the rest
It's a fight to the finish, a battle to the death
The only one who leaves is the last man left
We're the toughest of the tough, we're the best of the best
We're the best and we're better than the rest
Bulldog chased me to the top of the slide
I kicked him off the side, everybody thought he died
But he didn't cuz he never does
Bulldog is the toughest bad guy that there ever was
Mike was fighting like he never fought before
He punched snake eyes and he knocked him on the floor
But snake eyes is a crafty little guy
He grabbed Mike's leg and he stabbed him in the thigh
Mike pulled out the knife, he was fighting for his life
Then bulldog shot me in the left arm twice
It felt like a spike, I ran over to Mike
I looked at Bulldog and said you better take a hike
Me and Mike locked arms and we started spinning round
To the average human being we looked like a couple clowns
But me and mike both knew what to do
Them punks came runnin' and they both went boom
It's a fight to the finish a battle to the death
The only one who leaves is the last man left
We're the toughest of the tough, we're the best of the best
We're the best and we're better than the rest
It's a fight to the finish a battle to the death
The only one who leaves is the last man left
We're the toughest of the tough, we're the best of the best
