Another good episode. Makepeace comes out of the hospital and is offended at Dempsey telling her to take it easy. He wants to protect her, but she is hurt when he asks Watson to help him climb a roof. So she exchanges herself for a hostage to proove to Dempsey that she is ready to work.
When it looks like the kidnappers are going to shoot her, Dempsey looses it. He goes against Spikings' instructions and gets the robbers the coach they demand. Of course he follows the coach and saves Makepeace and the other hostages.
I really liked how Dempsey showed his concern for Makepeace and felt she was overreacting when she got upset with him. He just wants to protect her because he cares.moreless

Spikings: What's happening? Dempsey: Makepeace swapped herself for the woman. Spikings: So now we've got someone inside and we got the sick woman out. Dempsey: It was a stupid thing to do Spikings: She did it to prove a point, because of you.
-
Spikings: You have 15 minutes to get those animals, dead or alive, I don't care.
-
Makepeace: So, you're trying to keep me out of the firing line too. Spikings: When we go in through the front, sergeant, I think there'll be enough shooting to keep you occupied.
-
Dempsey: What do you want us to do? Spikings: Standard policy in a kidnap or hijack situation is: No surrender. Equally, the lives of the hostages are of primary concern. Dempsey: You just cancelled yourself out. Spikings: Not quite, I'm relying on the ingenuity and initiative of my operatives to devise a way in which we can have our cake and eat it. And when I say "my operatives" that means you, both of you.

Dempsey [ visiting Harry, who's in a hospital bed ] : Got you where I want you, at last. Makepeace: I've got bruises, Dempsey, not brain damage.
