DCS Cradock has been dogged whereas the baddies have been careless. If there is a chink of light, Cradock will see through it.
However there has been no big breakthrough. No one has talked and Cradock's boss is not happy.
Especially when son, Terry Cradock barges into his dad's office and exposes his father's complicated domestic life for all to hear.
So for the police, this episode is as messy as Cradock's personal life.
They are keeping tabs on Eddie Makin (Johnny Wade) a minor villain who had a part to play in the robbery with some electronic gizmo. Only Makin disappears after an enforcer called Tilt shows up.
Tilt has been sent by the Mr Big to take care of Makin who is a loose end. Not surprisingly Makin goes into hiding but someone like him can never lay low completely. Makin needs money and his girlfriend wants to get hold off him.
This has a dark ending, Cradock just cannot get a break.
An early work from legendary British director Alan Clarke. The story lacked focus as it delved into Cradock's life too much. He seems to be very tetchy here with his sergeant.
