MOVING TARGET: Part 3
Episode 541 | 28th November 2007, ITV1, 8PM
After hearing Heaton under attack in the middle of a shooting, Grace and Mason race to the yet another gun crime scene. They will not know until they get there if Heaton or Sagger, who was with him, are dead or alive. This is the second time their boss and the MP have been targeted in as many days.
Alfie Ruiz was seen fleeing the hospital car park where Heaton and Sagger came under fire at the time of the shooting. At Ruiz’s home a secret room is found by Terry. In there are photos of Sagger with Muntaqim, along with a phone message from Mrs Rachel Sagger on Ruiz’s answering phone.
Tony plays the waiting game, which soon pays dividends when Ruiz returns home. Arrested and down the station, Ruiz denies being the gunman. However, he does confess to following Sagger for his soon to be ex-wife Rachel. Ruiz also claims Sagger had a deal going with Muntaqim.
The elusive Muntaqim is eventually tracked down to his office. Only Sun Hill’s officers are too late: Muntaqim is found with a severe head injury and dies before the ambulance arrives. In Muntaqim’s office are all the clues CID and uniform need to deduce who has been on a shooting frenzy – but will they get to the sniper in time?
