The Bill - Tony Stamp and Dan Casper arrest Lucy Thomas for theft
Thursday, 9 August 2007
Wednesday 8 August 2007 8:00pm - 9:00pm on ITV1.
PCs Tony Stamp (Graham Cole) and Dan Casper (Chris Jarvis) begin their day by arresting Lucy Thomas (Candis Nergaard) who has an outstanding warrant for theft.
As she waits to be charged in custody, chaos ensues when a drunk man aggressively picks up a cricket bat and grabs Lucy who immediately collapses. Sergeant Smithy (Alex Walkinshaw) is stunned to see another man seize the drunk and pin him to the floor.
His shock turns to embarrassment when he discovers the hero is Sun Hills latest recruit - Sergeant Callum Stone (Sam Callis).
Throwing himself into his first day, Stone sets about investigating how Lucy gained a head injury the night before which led to her collapse. He discovers that she was serving drinks at a party being held by respected ex Detective Inspector, Martin Donnelly (Michael Angelis).
When questioned, Martin admits to Stone and Dan that Lucy had got drunk and banged her head on the balcony. He confesses that there were drugs at the party and because Lucy has a child in care, he got his friend, a retired doctor to do the stitches, as a favour to her.
Stone reviews new evidence and the possibility that Lucy may have been hit with an iron poker which Stone noticed missing from Martin's fireplace.
Later, Dan grows suspicious of Stone's motives when he witnesses Stone putting the poker in his rucksack which was earlier recovered by PCs Will Fletcher (Gary Lucy) and Diane Noble (Kaye Wragg) at a waste ground.
Dan witnesses Stone putting the rucksack into his car and Stone warns him not to say anything. Dan, sure that something very dodgy is going on talks to Smithy who is furious. Quickly gathering back up, Smithy goes on the hunt for Stone - has Sun Hill hired a corrupt cop?
Elsewhere, an elderly woman, Norma Johnson (June Bailey) is interviewed by DI Samantha Nixon (Lisa Maxwell) and Trainee DC Kezia Walker (Cat Simmons) when she claims she has been receiving threatening phone calls. DC Terry Perkins (Bruce Byron) tells Kezia and Samantha that he has found three similar allegations - all made by elderly women living alone in the same area.
While talking to Norma in her home, Kezia realises that the threats began after she had a new kitchen installed. Kezia and Samantha visit the kitchen company to make their enquiries and are dismayed to see hundreds of employees to get through.
After gathering a list of all the employees and their details from the supervisor Kelvin Frost (Philip Brodie), he goes to show them out.
Whilst waiting for the lift, Kezia gets a gets a call from Terry who tells her Kelvin is linked to all four cases. In the lift, Kezia attempts to make her arrest and accidentally pushes Kelvin against the emergency stop button. The officers find themselves trapped with a very irate suspect…
This episode was written by Jonathan Rich, directed by Kim Flitcroft and produced by Andrea Sapsford.
