Bill and Charlie attend the aftermath of a bank robbery, from which the robber escaped with a hundred thousand dollars and left a trail of trauma in his wake.
Back at the station, Bill and Charlie view the bank security video, which has captured the robbery on tape. Although the robber is masked, Bill eventually recognises the culprit as Derek Lamb (Jim Moriarty), who has a chequered past and who Bill also put in prison six years ago—this realisation is confirmed when Bill received, in the mail, a photo of himself with a cryptic message on the back. We discover the reason for Lamb's deep antipathy towards Bill. It's fuelled by the fact that in capturing Derek the first time, Derek's father was shot dead by Bill.
Meanwhile, Maxine is visited by Tom Wallace, a freelance journalist and travel writer who is writing an article about inefficiencies in the welfare safety net. He wants to interview Maxine about her work and the role of the Crisis Centre. As the interview takes place we see a spark of romantic interest between them.
Bill starts to show signs of stress as he receives another photo of himself from Derek Lamb. Meanwhile Bill is at his lowest emotional ebb over his son Nick and Derek commits another robbery at the same bank as before, although this time Derek has been stabbed in his shoulder with a letter opener. Bill finds a reminder left at the scene for him by Derek—a photo of Nick.
