EPISODE OVERVIEW

0 Reviews 7 Votes

Paul's son Marty gets caught up in an accidental shooting which results in the death of local farmer Hilton. Matters are further complicated when Joanna misdiagnoses the Keen's colicky baby whose father, mentally ill Roger, is the man who worked for the deceased Hilton and whom DI Jackson suspects of the killing.

Later, Paul and Ken Jackson are furious when they learn of Marty's involvement in the accidental shooting because Roger Keen is clearly volatile and mentally unstable. Whilst in police custody, Roger's baby son is rushed to hospital and is taken to see him. Back at the police station he has a relapse and is committed again, despite being cleared of murder. Paul returns home to confront Marty and in the heated row that follows, Marty blames him for killing his mother Celia! Joanna calls round and has a go at Dangerfield for getting involved in the baby case and refuses his invitation for a drink to talk about it. Add a recap »

  • "Get hold of the police surgeon and I want a uniform Siamese to him, right?"
    -Ken Jackson to Nicky Green when she asks to let Roger Keen go to the hospital to see his sick baby.

    "I joined the Police Cadets when I was seventeen. He's got to learn about responsibility preferably before he's old enough to draw his dole cheques because by then, Paul, it's far too late! In the meantime, he shouldn't be running round loose and you'd better see it's taken care of!"
    -Ken Jackson angrily outlines his views to Dangerfield upon discovering Marty knew all about the shooting.

    "Let me down?! You've had the police on a wild goose chase, nearly endangered a man's life! I'd say you've let me down!"
    -Paul Dangerfield to Marty when he confronts him about covering up the culprit behind the shooting. edit »
