The Interceptor

Finished with nicking the small fry, Ash seizes his chance to bring down the serious criminals when he's recruited to a new undercover unit. But what will his obsession cost him?

Ash is closer to the bigger criminals than he has ever been. The Unit has its hooks into an important drug dealer: Xavier. They're following his every move in the hope he'll lead them to someone even higher in the organisation, and ultimately to the man at the very top.

The Unit are beginning to make inroads into the criminal organization. Ash's job isn't great for family life, but he's doing the kind of work he's dreamed of. Phone taps have just revealed that a big sum of money is being sent out from Xav's dry-cleaners on behalf of 'someone bigger', and it's a great lead - if they follow the money.

The Unit's war of attrition on Roach and his gang is beginning to take effect - under pressure, and low on drugs and money, they're forced to turn to a new foreign supplier, a Norwegian nicknamed the Viking. The Unit know how vital the Viking could be in learning more about the crew they're targeting, but he's proving hard to pin down.

A young girl is dead - the second pill-related death in recent days. A new batch of toxic pills has hit the market, and the police are struggling to find the source. When the Unit discover a link between the pills and the gang they're investigating, Cartwright agrees it's worth pursuing, but only if it's to further their aims of getting higher up the organization.

After the failure of the pill operation, Roach turns to Yorkie, a violent armed robber, to solve his cash flow problems.

After his violent encounter with Yorkie, Ash returns to work at a low ebb: Lorna has thrown him out; and now Cartwright has benched him. But Ash is convinced that their 'Mr Big' is planning a big shipment of drugs. Cartwright is sceptical, so Ash secretly begins to investigate on his own.

With Roach's identity revealed, and the villain within their grasp, the team now face the challenge of intercepting a massive shipment of drugs.
