Operation Good Guys

- Season 1

(1998)

Operation Good Guys has been set up catch notorious villain 'Smiler' McCarthy. When a possible informant comes forward the men are forced to sit though a session with a punk hair dresser to get the time and place of Smiler's next job.

Beach decides to set up a drugs exchange with two men believed to be connected with 'Smiler' McCarthy. Despite protests from Bones, Beach assigns Mark Kemp (the commissioners' nephew) to be the bait and hand over the money.

Beach has decided to enlist the help of US cop Lou "Frisk 'em" Ferrino in their latest attempt to nab 'Smiler' McCarthy. When Ferrino arrives he is quick to mock The Good Guys efforts and much to Beach's anger proceeds to take over.

After the problems of the last couple of weeks and everything that has happened, Beach decides to give the whole team the day off to relax and take their minds off work and all the stress of Operation Good Guys.

Funding for Operation Good Guys hits a low and the electricity has been cut off at the office. Meanwhile a key witness on 'Smiler' McCarthy has decided to come forward and expose McCarthy on national TV in exchange for police protection.

In an attempt to persuade the Commissioner to give Operation Good Guys more funding, Beach organises an Open Day at the office and enlists Christopher Biggins to help them.

The funds have gone, the Commissioner has refused to give them further funding. Operation Good Guys has been cancelled. On receiving a postcard, Beach and the team discover that within their thwarted operation lurked a traitor.
