Two Spirits. Graham Mitchell. Someone is killing people connected with a transgender centre - is it cross dressing soldier Andrew Knott? It seems unlikely, where's the motivation? But then who is it?
Johann Myers is good as a dodgy detective who tries to turn his own cock up back on Thomas, who considers resigning. Naturally the teams pulls together and finds a kidnapped victim before solving the case.
Then we feel the Timothy Prager social realism effect again in the hard-hitting Lift Up Your Hearts, which concerns drug dealing to school kids. Prager has created a great inspirational head teacher, played by Colin Salmon, but he cannot protect his girl from being overdosed to death with the smallest amount of fentanyl. And her BF runs in the gang responsible, setting up great conflicts. Good use of the school choir spirituals over key scenes.
Samantha Womak is a frisky DI with her eye on Jack: when she tries kissing him on the job, he's outraged; then she threatens him with sexual misconduct; then he's stabbed! Nice writing. Dan Li is a particularly unempathic officer.
