Intro
PRIME SUSPECT V/Episode 2/Intro by Russell Baker

Detective Jane Tennison has an especially vicious murder to deal with as "Prime Suspect" concludes tonight.

It started as an apparently routine drug killing. A drug runner shot down. A second man, Michael Johns, wounded by the killer.

When a fourteen year-old boy named Campbell came to police confessing the murder, Tennison refused to believe him and put him out of police custody.

She'd made an error. Campbell really had done the killing, apparently out of hatred for the man who kept his mother supplied with drugs.

Jane's error was fatal for Campbell. He was barely out of the jail before his execution was ordered and personally overseen by a drug kingpin who calls himself "The Street."

Campbell's actual executioner was Michael Johns, who is in love with Campbell's sister. Michael's too terrified however, to refuse "The Street" order to kill her kid brother. And no wonder -- "The Street" kills with sadistic pleasure. He keeps two vicious dogs and uses them to tear his enemies apart.

While he's been turning himself into a crimelord, the police have been curiously relaxed about it.

Jane is now certain "The Street" is very bad news indeed, but can't get the evidence to nail him. He always knows what she's going to do next, is always one step ahead of her.

How does he do it? Obviously, somebody on her team is keeping him informed. Who?

A policeman in cahoots with a psychopathic killer has turned this into the nastiest kind of case.

Now, concluding episode, Prime Suspect.
