Claire Stanton, now a DI, heads to Australia to extradite former colleague Don Beech for the murder of their colleague, and Stanton's fiancé, DS John Boulton. The Sydney police tell Stanton that Beech has linked up with Vietnamese criminal Frankie Nguyen, with the pair going from partners in crime to romantic partners in the nine months Beech has been in Sydney for. The local force suspect that Beech has flown under the radar thanks to recently suspended local officer Bill Mayle, who puts Beech in touch with a local drugs kingpin. Beech's greed sees him raid Triad leader Joey Tranh, who then holds Nguyen's pregnant sister hostage to get Beech's location. Stanton attempts to derail a drugs raid on Beech so he can be arrested for Boulton's murder instead. As Stanton and her police contact find Beech's hideout, Tranh shows up to murder Beech, but when shots ring out it's Tranh who is found dead. As Beech attacks Stanton's contact, she goes after her nemesis to ensure he doesn't evade capture again.
90-minute special, return of Don Beech and now DI Claire Stanton, John Noble and Jason Clarke guest star
