Prime Suspect
Assigned to a Vice squad, Detective Jane Tennison investigates a child murder and discovers a sinister link to the police. Detective Chief Inspector Jane Tennison moves to a new district and is put in charge of a vice investigation instead of homicide. But soon a homicide case impinges on her new job when a very young male prostitute is murdered in the apartment of Vera Reynolds, a female impersonator. Soon Jane is on the trail of the boy's brutal young pimp (played by David Thewlis). But her investigation is complicated by the Old Boy's Network, which is spying on her and is more concerned with preventing scandal than bringing the villain to justice.
The episode opens in a bar where we see transsexual Vera Reynolds in cabaret. Jane is now working for the Vice Squad. A rent boy is found dead in a burnt out flat. The body is discovered to be that of a Colin Jenkins, also known as Connie. Jane's prime suspect is Jimmy Jackson who grooms under age rent boys.
It is discovered that an Edward Parker was accused twice of child abuse in children's homes, but that both cases were thrown out. Jane wonders if this is Edward Parker Jones and begins to investigate.
