Beattie screams at them as her and George sit and talk about Lil
and Kelly, they then get called in to see the banker.
Zoe approaches Colin outside the station, she shouts at him,
telling him she's been waiting for him all weekend - he still
hasn't moved in. Zoe pushes Colin off of his moped and he falls
on the floor. He goes after her for a bit, before turning and
goes back in the station.
An old woman watch's the TV in her home. She hears knocking and
goes outside to go and knock on her neighbour's door. She hears
shouting for help and her neighbour tells her that he's locked
up.
The phone rings in the watch room and Kate answers, it's Cynthia
and she wants to speak to Sicknote. Cynthia tells Sicknote that
she loves him, but he doesn't want to hear it and tries to hang -
up. The bells go down and he has to hang up. A person is locked
in somewhere in Church Road, pump only...
The pump crew arrive on the scene of the shout, where they break
into the flat, finding a bloke stuck in a sack and tied in
chains. He's a so - called magician, who Recall remembers from a
previous shout when he was stationed at his last station.
PART 2.
Kevin arrives home and tells Marion about Malcolm resigning and
moving to Brussels and about Nick giving him a place on a course
that he wanted to do. Marion doesn't like the idea of him going
away to do the course and being left at home on her own.
Clare and Bayleaf arrive at an investigators building to talk to
an investigator who will help track down Melanie. Bayleaf shows
Mr. Ferris the postcard from Melanie, who tells Bayleaf that they
will find Melanie, but getting her back past the Spanish
authorities will be a problem as to them, Bayleaf will be
abducting her. Mr. Ferris tells Bayleaf and Clare that they might
need one of them to go over to Spain . Bayleaf asks the cost, Mr.
Ferris says it'll be £1,500 in cash up front and £1,500 when
they get Melanie back.
In the pub, Jaffa talks to Colin about Zoe. Jaffa knows that
Colin is frightened of his mum, so he tells him that he'll go and
tell her that Colin wants to move out.
Don visits Kate at home and they go out for a drive. They go to a
bar, where Kate tells Don that she's not ready to have a baby.
He's understanding and apologises for putting her in that mess,
but tells her he's not sorry that they met.
Recall reads Jamie a story as he lays in his hospital bed. Hallam
and Sandra then arrive for a visit and Sandra leaves Hallam with
Jamie and Recall as she goes off to see Laura... Laura gives Ben
his dinner - beans on toast, as Sandra arrives to talk to Laura
to see how she is coping.
The watch practice basketball in the yard where Colin runs into
Hallam and knocks him over, then he excuses himself by saying he
was practicing.
In Nick's office, he informs Hallam that the rumours about
Blackwall's closure isn't untrue and that the LFB have plans to
close two station's in the North - east and two in the South -
east. Hallam suggests doing a 'Save Blackwall' Campaign' and to
print 2000 leaflets for watch members to hand out.
In the mess, the watch are informed on the possible closure of
Blackwall and the petition idea. Colin however, doesn't like the
sound of handing out petition leaflets by hand. Hallam explains
that each watch gets 2000 leaflets each.
A group of men are working on the Thames barrier. They travel
down to water level, where one of them is clearly in pain. Then
men pass certain things about and the man in pain doesn't look
too good at all. He ends up collapsing and falls down into some
waterand pulls a wire loose. One of the men radio's through to
his control office, asking for the emergency services.
Nick asks Hallam about the situation with Bayleaf's kid. Hallam
informs Nick that there are money problems and that Bayleaf is
thinking about selling his car.
PART 3.
The appliances leave the station on way to the person who has
collapsed in the Thames barrier... Meanwhile, the men are trying
to help their colleague but with no luck, he can't move at all.
The watch arrive and Nick is briefed on the situation before they
take their quarter of a mile journey, out to sea, to the man.
Bayleaf radio's through to Nick, from the appliance, that the
paramedics have arrived and that the fire boat is at tower bridge
attending a jumper, so the plan of getting the man back to shore
on the fire boat no cannot work. The watch walk for a while, then
finally reach the man. The paramedics indicate a spinal problem,
so a stretcher has to be organised.
Lil walks out of the station and back to her car, where her
husband is driving and Kelly, who is in labour, is in the back.
Lil begins to moan about George not being there for Kelly when
all Kelly wants to do is go to the hospital. They arrive at the
hospital and Kelly really wants George to be there.
At the shout, the man is hoisted up and Hallam suggests to Nick
that the man could be put on a boat, then go back to shore. The
boat, with Bayleaf on, approaches and the man is hoisted down and
then taken to shore.
The watch arrive back at the station, where Maggie quickly rushes
to George, telling him that Kelly's on the way to the hospital.
George rushes out to his car... Meanwhile, Kelly's in a room and
breathes in oxygen as the contractions get even more frequent.
George enters and promises her that he'll stay... Baby Shaun is
born.
Bayleaf enters Nick's office, where he gives him to mess book.
Nick tells Bayleaf that he didn't call him to his office because
of the mess book and asks him to pull up a chair. Nick hands
Bayleaf an envelope, which has a cheque inside. Nick tells him to
find his daughter and bring her back.
The watch wait in the hospital to hear news on the baby. George
walks out of the labour room to tell the watch that he has a son.
Colin leaves home on his moped, leaving his mum crying loudly.

around to see them, then suggests they try for another baby...
