D.C. Carver and D.C. Lines are observing a car park from a camper van when they hear shouting. Carver goes to investigate and finds a man being beaten up by D.C. Boulton from Barton Street station. The suspect makes a complaint against Boulton, who is not happy that Carver won't back him up as a witness to the arrest. Insp. Monroe tries to pressurise Carver into turning Boulton in, while D.S. Pearce wants him to back Boulton up. The suspect is also pressurising Carver.
