Ronnie and new partner Joe Hawkins, who has come from the child protection unit, investigate a gruesome double murder where the victims' hands and teeth were removed. One of the dead men is jeweller Harry Bernstein and suspicion falls on his wife Lindsay and her lover David as well as business partner Micky Belker. However when a box containing Harry's missing hands is sent to his sister Rebecca the case takes a different turn as she is on the jury in the trial of Dale Horgan, a gangster and drug dealer whom Ronnie is desperate to see convicted after he was acquitted of shooting a little girl in the back and jury intimidation is now a clear motive. The prosecutors are afraid that an over-emotional Ronnie may be a bad witness in the face of Horgan's icy barrister Eleanor Richmond and coach him in staying objective. Jake applies to have Eleanor discharged from the jury and ultimately the whole case is to be tried by a single judge. It looks as id Ronnie is never going to nail Horgan but then Joe comes up with an unexpected witness.
