Sam finds Annie and Leonard at the back of the old Waterworks just as Trent, Brickster, and Wilson arrive, and they run into the factory, Sam knocks Brickster out, but they are soon cornered by Wilson and Trent. When Annie calls in that the suspects are there, it is discovered that Chris and Ray are in fact at the Railway Arms with Gene playing darts, Annie is in real danger and Gene heads back to the station and Sam heads to the estate alone when Annie's radio cuts out. Gene isn't keen on Leonard as a witness due to his handicap, but seems to go along with Sam's methods, Annie Cartwright will stay at Leonard's flat whilst DC Skelton and DS Carling keep watch from a parked car in the street. Sam offers him police protection and Leonard identifies Trent from inside an ice cream van with Gene flicking the V's at three little girls wanting ice cream. Buckling under Trent's intimidation, Leonard walks out, saying it was none of them. Unfortunately, in 1973 there is no such thing, and Leonard comes face to face with Trent. Needing a formal identification, a line up is organised, Sam tells Leonard it'll be alright as he will be behind special glass. Shown Trent's picture, Leonard identifies him. Back at the station, Leonard is questioned and it turns out he saw Trent without his mask, and his cart was damaged as a warning to stop him talking. Sam notices his cart is damaged, and paint fragments on it point toward Trent. After DC Skelton botches fingerprint evidence at the scene of the crime, they get a break when Sam and Gene see a partially deaf streetsweeper named Leonard Pitt near to the jewellers'. Visiting June lying in a coma in the hospital, Sam and Gene have a knock-down fight which alleviates some anger and Gene tells Sam he has to make things right by making sure Trent is caught. Sam is furious at being blamed and insists procedure must be followed. Gene is furious at Sam for allowing Trent back on the streets, particularly as one of their own people has been harmed, even making him clean June's blood off the road with his jacket. After the robber has gone, they check they are unhurt, but looking up they see June slump sideways in the driving seat, riddled with bullet wounds. Sam and Gene leap into the back seat of a nearby parked car and the bullets crash into the vehicle. Gene calls out to them and one of the robbers opens fire.

They arrive just as the three masked armed robbers are fleeing the shop. Sam and Gene are called to a blag at a jewellers'. She is advised to take it back to the jewellers' to be adjusted. Sam overhears June, a cleaner in CID, and her friend discussing her engagement ring. He contacts Trent's solicitor and releases him without charge, causing a clash between Sam and Gene.

Sam realises that Gene has planted evidence to ensure that Kim is successfully convicted and is disgusted with his boss and his underhanded methods. The team arrest Kim Trent, a notorious armed robber recently returned to Manchester, on suspicion of taking part in a violent robbery at a bookies, along with his accomplices Gordon Ricks (a.k.a. Nothing else seems to be bringing him closer to an answer. He decides that all he can do for the time being is help the team with their investigations. Sam is still very uncertain as to whether he is really in 1973 or in a coma in 2006 and dreaming the whole thing up. Sam tries to persuade him to testify by offering him police protection, but Gene, Ray and Chris don't take the detail seriously, resulting in the lives of Annie and Leonard being at risk. After the forensics is messed up by Chris, Sam finds new hope in solving the case with Leonard. Tyler allows him to be bailed, and the man then goes on to commit a further robbery from a jewellers', resulting in an innocent woman working in CID being seriously injured. An armed robber is brought in with no evidence, as a preventive measure.
