Cocky PC Des
Taviner brings his beloved new car to the station,
but rather than park it on the street he taunts
the superintendent by parking it in his space. No
amount of Sergeant Boyden's warnings can shift
Des's belief that it's his God given right to park
where he likes. Until Chandler spots it... In the
canteen the team discuss the growing racial
tension in Sun Hill. Reg is still unable to shake
the feeling of a 'black cloud' hanging over him.
He's convinced there's something big and bad
looming on the horizon but he can't quite put his
finger on the problem. The others aren't so sure
and try to reassure him. Meanwhile PC Cathy
Bradford investigates a jewellery robbery and a
spate of petty thefts in the area. When a Magnum
gun and quotes from Clint Eastwood films are
involved they suspect a group of young lads on rag
week from the Canley Tech. Reg and Des track them
down but the rich son of a disgraced MP pushes
Des's buttons. He arrests them but they get other
ideas when they see how much he loves his car.
Having agreed another afternoon rendezvous with
Kate, Superintendent Chandler makes his excuses to
Ch. Insp. Conway and asks him to meet with
community leaders in his place. DC Mickey Webb
agrees to attend the meeting in support. After a
successful meeting, they leave to go their
separate ways. As Tom entertains Kate, a helpless
Mickey can only watch as a motorbike pulls up
beside Conway's car and the pillion passenger
throws a lit petrol bomb through the window.
