Synopsis:

Season 4, Ep. 1
James McCready has served eight years of a life sentence for the murder of his partner, Gary Meadows. McCready has always claimed that the stabbing was a tragic accident and that the police inquiry, led by Det. Supt. Michael Walker, was prejudiced. Armed with new evidence, McCready's solicitor, Ben Duffield, and gay barrister and MP, Robert Rylands, join forces to campaign for an appeal.
Season 4, Ep. 2
Meanwhile, DI Pat North is chosen for a new Home Office scheme to fast-track talented detectives. To Walker's annoyance, she is placed on the re-investigation of the Meadows case along with her best friend Vivien. His career is flagging and North's success highlights his inadequacies and their differences. North, concerned about appearing biased, refuses to discuss the case with Walker and tempers fray. When Walker warns Satchell they must get their stories straight about Glasgow it is evident they are covering something up - but what?

Season 4 Episode 1:
Part one of two. DI Pat North is chosen to work alongside investigators probing a possible miscarriage of justice, but as the case unfolds she becomes increasingly estranged from her personal and professional partner DS Michael Walker, whose own career is in the doldrums. Crime drama by Lynda La Plante, starring David Hayman, Kate Buffery, James Wilby and Christopher Neame

Season 4 Episode 2:
Walker is suspended from duty after the documentary on the McCready case is aired, painting him in an extremely bad light, and is later attacked by George Connelly's father. As if that were not bad enough, North takes a tumble down the stairs and loses the baby - leading to an emotional outcome. Concluding part of the Lynda La Plante drama, starring David Hayman, Kate Buffery and James Wilby
