Clip description

Detective Tom Shannon (John McTernan) finally brings in Faith Bloomfield (Elaine Lee) after she is located treating homeless friends to an extravagant party at an expensive hotel. Back at the station, Shannon and Detective ‘JJ’ Jeffrey Johnson (Peter Adams) inform Neville Adam (Christopher Bailey) about the fate of the money he believes is his.

Curator’s notes

Elaine Lee gives a delightfully theatrical turn in her role as the feisty Faith and Christopher Bailey is also entertaining as the slighted law student. Here, both show that their range extends beyond the comic as the story reaches its slightly more serious denouement.
