Easily the weakest plot of all the episodes so far. All the way through, my wife and I were counting "holes in the plot" and actions which just made no sense. Philip Jackson excellent in his role but such a shame the writer couldn't have made his actions and the actions of the others more believable.
SPOILERS: The worst hole of all was being left wondering why on earth he would have shot the naked girl who had had petrol poured over her to save her the agony of a painful death instead of just shooting the guy holding the matches! Just ridiculous really.
And why would any police force leave an obviously unstable policeman on active duty in the hope that he would somehow recover while on the job even if that clearly meant endangering members of the public? The guy needed treatment for post-traumatic stress obviously! Any senior officer would have suspended him and referred him for counselling rather that putting him immediately back in the field. Frankly, it would have been obligatory in most police forces. Again, ridiculous.
