The Level

After winning a special police award for bravery, DS Nancy Devlin has a clandestine meeting with drug trafficker Frank Le Saux. When the meeting turns tragic, Nancy finds herself leading an investigation in her hometown of Brighton.

After Nancy is forced to appear on camera at a media appeal for witnesses, Hayley's dangerous ex-boyfriend, Shay Nash, contacts her. Then, Delia wakes up from her coma and reveals important information about Frank's dealings.

Evidence reveals that Theo was shot by the same gun that killed Frank. After a snafu with Theo's car, Nancy and Kevin grow even more suspicious of Gunner. An unexpected provision in Frank's will causes trouble for Cherie.

Kevin saves Nancy from a confrontation with Gunner and DCI Newman, but Nancy's relationship with Kevin remains tense. When Hayley asks Duncan to run the yard for her, Nancy plans a dangerous undercover mission.

Upon learning that her mother has gone missing from her residential care unit, Nancy worries that Shay may have harmed her. Newman covers for Nancy after the firebombing of the Le Saux offices, but Kevin grows suspicious.

When her mother has another breakdown, Nancy has a revelation about what the "gold mine" could mean. She makes a reckless decision in her quest for evidence, but it's her father's support that helps her crack the case.
