BLACKMAILED

BLACKMAILED
Episode 556 | 12th December 2007, ITV1, 8PM

Stuart thought limo driver Trevor Jones was his mate – he not so sure now. Stuart discovered Trevor was the infamous and elusive Postman, a big cocaine dealer, but he can’t arrest him as Trevor has done a tidy little number on CID’s presenter of ‘Wanted’ and blackmailed him.

Trying to get out of the pickle that could lose him his job, Stuart only makes things worse for himself: handing over Trevor’s personal organiser and £5k that had been deposited in to his bank account goes a long way to incriminate Stuart further.

CID mounts a raid on a house where huge amounts of cocaine are cut. Only it’s obvious after they get tricked by a decoy someone has tipped of the dealers. The owner of the house helps with an e-fit of the man who rents the place and Jo instantly recognises him as Trevor.

Jo knows something’s up with Stuart, but is shocked to hear his admission of guilt. She’s insisting Stuart goes and tells DI Mason everything, but Stuart can’t do that – he needs Jo onside. Meanwhile CID’s leads all point towards Trevor. Time’s ticking for Stuart - will Jo risk her job for him…?
