Paula's young son volunteers to act as bait for the father when he eludes the police, but De Costa begins to have serious doubts about Bradford. Now working as a CAD officer, Cryer realizes that Bradford's deceit is responsible for the assault on Paula, and threatens to tell all to Okaro. A desperate Bradford calls Cryer and insists the reason she's been so out of sorts is because she has a stalker. She then requests urgent assistance, which Cryer knows is a lie, and ignores. When a 999 call comes through, Taviner and Kent find Bradford badly injured in a stairwell. See less
