The Responder

When Carl Sweeney (Ian Hart), threatens to hurt Chris Carson’s (Martin Freeman) family, Chris is forced to continue the search for Casey (Emily Fairn) and the stolen drugs.

But he is supposed to be mentoring his new nightshift partner, Rachel (Adelayo Adedayo). She knows Chris’s reputation and believes he is the worst kind of copper, but after Chris saves her during a brutal assault she realises there may be more to him and his policing methods than meets the eye.

Casey, meanwhile, still has the drugs. But after she puts her trust in a friend, Carl comes ever closer to catching her. Chris realises the danger that she’s in, but can he get to Casey in time to warn her without arousing Rachel’s suspicions?

Chris races to an illegal party where Casey may be hiding out, but when he gets there she is nowhere to be found. As Rachel waits outside, she comes face to face with Carl who threatens her: could Chris’s relationship with a drugs dealer be about to come to light? And will Rachel have her suspicions about Chris being the worst type of copper confirmed?
