Lenny is targeting the kingpin of judicial corruption, Richard Blakeney, to expose his network of bent policemen and corrupt judges.

Blakeney is everything Lenny hates, and his network is everything he wants to bring down.

Lenny briefs Mercer on his delicate strategy. It involves exploiting Blakeney’s hitman Georgie, who Calum and Mercer are spying on.

Mercer returns to the council flat to hear Calum talk about marrying his girlfriend Manuela. Marrying her would guarantee indefinite leave for the Colombian. As if to complete the dysfunctional family, Rose appears for dinner.

Mercer can’t help but be secretly pleased she has come. At the end of the night, under the guise of returning her scarf, John goes to her house. He is in for a shock.

John arrives and sees her dressed up to go out and kissing Georgie in her doorway. Mercer retreats once more behind his emotional barricades.

Mercer confronts Lenny, demanding more information than they have been given.
