CIB are called into investigate the shooting and there are already things messed up.
The youth was brandishing a replica gun. He had low intelligence. The police even get the dead man's identity wrong.
Tensions on the estate where the man died are high. A local councillor is stirring up trouble.
Det Supt Clark who has not been in the job long already causes waves with Chief Supt Jameson (Pete Postlethwaite.)
