A counter-terrorist police raid kills an innocent man after mistakenly raiding the wrong flat. DS Steve Arnott refuses to take part in a cover-up. He is transferred to AC-12, an anti-corruption squad led by Superintendent Ted Hastings. Hastings informs Arnott that his first investigation will focus on DCI Tony Gates, the senior officer of TO-20, a unit of Central Police CID, who has just been made Officer of the Year. Hastings has received a tip-off that Gates has a suspiciously high clearance rate due to "laddering" – a process in which a number of different charges are placed on the same defendant to increase an officer's number of successful cases. Initially, Hastings interviews Gates on a minor charge – failure to report accepting a free breakfast for apprehending a mugger outside a local cafe.

Meanwhile, Gates offers advice to his lover, Jackie Laverty, after she claims to have hit a dog after drink driving on her way home from a work party. Gates initially offers to help her cover up the incident, by faking a break-in at her home. However, when DS Cottan informs him of the cases that have come in overnight during the morning briefing, he discovers that Jackie actually killed a person during the incident, and not a dog as she claimed. Gates urges her to come clean. Meanwhile, Kate Fleming, currently assigned to divisional CID, approaches Gates and asks if she can join his team. He suggests she come out for drinks with the team to see how they get along, unaware that she is secretly working for AC-12. Meanwhile, DS Leah Janson informs Gates that crime statistics on the Bogg estate are on the rise once more, so Gates assigns TO-20 to investigate. Surveillance reveals that two suspected drug dealers are operating out of a derelict house. Gates asks his team to take turns keeping an eye on the property. Laverty comes in to make a statement about the hit and run to an intelligence officer, but fails to disclose her part in the victim's death. When the victim is identified, Gates manages to gain access to the computer records, and deletes the missing persons report which identifies the victim – but not before Arnott manages to take a look.
