Whilst working on the murder of Turkish crime boss Omer Hassan he interviews Topher Lomax, who makes a veiled threat regarding Marcus's family. Marcus rows with Abi over her new boyfriend and soon afterwards he finds her and Max have been slain but rather than report it he runs away in confusion. He is arrested and charged with the murders but when the police van in which he is travelling crashes he escapes and sets out to find Lomax. Acting ...

Marcus finds his friend Sean Devlin in possession of discs incriminating Lomax which were kept at the Farrows' house. Marcus beats him up before going on the run again with one of the discs, which yields Lomax's number though when Marcus rings him he is expecting Devlin. He also locates Hassan's widow from whom he discovers that Hassan's identity was sold to a man called Malaqi with Lomax the likely agent and a man named Alex Chambers also involved. He has a secret meeting with colleague Andrea, asking her to find Chambers, though they are interrupted by Susan ...

A drunken Devlin visits Andrea and it is clear that both are involved in a plot to find Chambers before Marcus and that neither are his friends. Marcus breaks into Devlin's flat and gets him to confess who killed Hassan. The evidence is on the discs which have now been destroyed. Marcus visits Lomax, who is later found dead, after which Marcus discovers the exact identity of Alex Chambers. He contacts the only person he can trust to be a witness to the confession which will exonerate him.
