Another strong episode from Sun Hill. DI Samantha Nixon (Lisa Maxwell) and DC Jacob Banks (Patrick Robinson, pictured) nervously go over their evidence against Tom Norris (Henry Garrett) who is standing trial for the attempted rape of Paula Merrick (Liza Walker) and the murder of Vikki Miller. Outside the courtroom, just as Paula is about to enter, Norris's flatmate, Dan Cox (Jay Taylor) storms past her and accuses her of lying.

Terrified, Paula bravely testifies in court but Samantha and Banksy are crushed when her testimony begins to unravel under tough questioning from Banksy's wife, Naomi Woods (Kim Thomson). After her experience in the courtroom, a shaken Paula goes to the toilet to freshen up, but accidentally meets a fellow witness and Paula gives her advice on what to say when questioned. As a result, the judge declares a mistrial and Norris is bailed.

Samantha, determined to see Norris go to prison, has him followed to his flat where is found fighting with Dan, and Samantha arrests him for assault. Back at the station, Norris claims he had just gone back to the flat to collect some clothes and Dan, still angry from the court's questioning, threw the first punch.

With the case quickly falling apart, Banksy talks to CSE Eddie Olosunje (Jason Barnett) and decides to focus the investigation on Fallon Thomas (Beatrice Brown), who claims she saw Norris by the car Vikki's body was discovered. Banksy, Eddie and Fallon head to the scene where Fallon provides new facts that suggests Norris was wearing gloves, meaning the fingerprints they have as evidence are meaningless.

Later, Samantha and Banksy are horrified to learn that another young woman has been raped in the same alleyway that Paula was attacked in and Norris is missing. At the scene, Samantha is convinced he is behind all the attacks, but Banksy realises that something doesn't quite add up and realises the suspect may not be Norris at all.

    My name is Dyar Bakir and I am 37 years old, I am from Kurdistan, Northern Iraq, I used to work with United Nations.

    I would like to be considered as extras for The Bill as I think I would be a good candidate.

    I would like to send my appreciation to all the actors in The Bill, it is the greatest drama I have seen it in my life, I really love it and I watch all of the episodes.

    I wish one day I can be a part of it, from very young age I have always wanted to be in a film/drama like The Bill. I can speak Arabic, Kurdish, Persian (Iranian) and English.

    I would also like to write similar story lines which happen in Spooks or The Bill. Many of these stories have happened to me in real live as I am from Northern Iraq Kurdistan, I was captured by Iraqi Inelegance for information, when I was released they still followed me around so I had to watch my back all the time
