D.C.I. Redfern 'Red' Metcalfe: Maybe we're getting too bogged down in materials. We missed the connection because the killer's made it...in his head!
D.I. Duncan Warren: Something concrete links James Birch and Philip Blake, we just don't know what it is. Two in one day, it's revenge, it's...a one off.

VERY GOOD, 11 January 2003
Author: Butterworthp from Leicester, england

This is great it has a great plot,a good pace and it makes you want to keep watching right to the end. All through the programme you are always wondering who the killer is and if the killer could be working among the investigation team. For once the acting is good especially by ken stott who is also excellent in the vice but it is shame they only make about one or two messiah thrillers a year.
