Series 1 | | | |
| 1 :01x01 - Episode 1 (Apr/01/2004) | The team reopen the case of young police cadet Kate Daniels, brutally murdered in 1987. Daniels had gone to a pub alone on the night she was killed and the only witness to the murder was a six-year-old girl, Patricia Lee. Now an optician, she tells Supt Sandra Pullman and Gerry Standing she still has a recurring nightmare about a man she saw running from the scene.
The finding of a gun in a cache of weapons trawled from a lake leads the team to petty criminal Philip Sheppard. Brian Lane and Jack Halford are trailing Sheppard as he stalks women, all petite and blonde like Daniels. Sandra admits she was at Hendon Police College with the victim and knew her personally.
Meanwhile, each team member seems to have a personal problem to deal with. Brian's delicate emotional balance goes into freefall when his wife leaves him - not helped by the fact that he has thrown his medication down the toilet. Gerry is also facing a shock in his personal life when he discovers he's going to be a grandfather, through his unmarried daughter Paula.
Back at UCOS, Brian becomes convinced that the case is connected to Nick Gilbert, another of Pullman's fellow trainees who was Daniels' lover but who dropped out. Gerry takes drastic action to help Patricia identify Sheppard in a line up, while Brian visits a still bitter Gilbert and, while he's not looking, swipes something from the house and takes it for forensic examination. Pullman is enraged at his actions and Brian is forced to confront how his obsession with the past is ruining his life. He decides to try to woo Esther back. But can Pullman confront her own past as a rookie copper and get the truth out of Gilbert?

| 2 :01x02 - Episode 2 (Apr/08/2004) | UCOS is called to Buckingham Palace after a painting from the Queen's private collection is discovered to be a fake. The handsome Sir Tim, who oversees the collection, explains the investigation is top secret because his predecessor was found to have 'borrowed' paintings. Sandra doesn't want the case, but expert help is soon at hand when the aptly named Totty Vogel-Downing is seconded from art fraud to UCOS.
While Sir Tim tries - and succeeds - in charming Sandra, Totty discovers thumbprints on the canvases. Tests prove both fakes were painted in 1978 by an artist and political activist who committed suicide after a fire destroyed his studio. Old files suggest the fire could have been arson, aimed at a Kurdish sweatshop next door. Sandra and Jack visit a Bengali family who were injured in the blaze, while Gerry and Brian learn that remains of a white rat were found at the studio. The animal was too exotic to live in a warehouse naturally.
Jailed arsonist Pat the Rat says the rat must have been covered in petroleum jelly and used as a firebomb. Lists of clients from top London galleries link Pat to George Wilson, a notorious career criminal. Wilson escaped arrest 10 years earlier during Gerry's watch. When Deputy Assistant Commander Bevan blamed Gerry, the detective punched his superior - an offence that led to his early retirement from the force.
With Gerry ordered off the case and everyone apparently involved in the fraud operation dead, there seems little left to go on. Then Gerry breaks the rules to visit the dead artist's mother and discovers a link to someone close to the investigation.

| 3 :01x03 - Episode 3 (Apr/15/2004) | Young peace campaigner Josh Livesey was found dead in woods near a NATO base in 1984 but his killer was never captured. When one of the dead man's friends, Frank Fox, is locked up in Broadmoor for another murder, UCOS is given the job of re-examining the case.
Frank and the other campaigners Imogen Hoult, Colin Dobie and Eleanor Clement all claimed innocence, but refused to co-operate with police, blaming Josh's death on a secret service conspiracy.
Sandra wants to contact Special Branch, much to the dismay of the paranoid Jack, Gerry and Brian.
To his alarm, Brian has no memory of Ed Koumas, an officer on the case. Gerry and Sandra visit an ideological Eleanor on her houseboat, while Brian revisits Frank who reveals Josh had a secret.
Film shows that a section of wire at the NATO base was replaced the night Josh died, which Gerry puts down to 'secret squirrels'. Worried about Sandra, they follow her, only to find her with a woman - her therapist. But on the way home, she is indeed followed by Special Branch officer Greg Johnson. She meets Greg, who admits his people moved Livesey's body and disposed of the murder weapon to save face, but still insists there was no conspiracy. He also tells Sandra he fancies her.
As the team try to discover why Special Branch cared about the protesters so much, they realise that are still many secrets among the small band of protesters.
