P.C. Haynes investigates when the body of a homeless woman is found on a building site. She died from inhalation of chlorine gas. The site is run by a man convicted of fly-tipping a few months earlier, and who has allowed a friend to dump cleansing agents down a manhole. P.C. Garfield is investigating a discharge of waste down by the river when the informant collapses and later dies from cyanide gas poisoning. D.C.s Dashwood and Lines want W.P.C.
