Scotland Yard is no place for the weak, and Detective Chief Inspector Jane Tennison finds herself having to prove her strength to both suspects and her fellow police officers in order to do her job. But even if she manages...
Oscar-winning actress Helen Mirren is Detective Inspector Jane Tennison, a skilled top-class detective battling to prove herself in a male-dominated world.
Jane Tennison's single-minded determination to win justice for murder victims conflicts sharply with the politics of her high-ranking position.
In the concluding episodes, Jane Tennison and the team try to find out where Campbell Lafferty was executed after being released. Appearing on 'Crime Night', she decides to pull in 'The Street', believing that he is responsible. But the closer she gets to proving that the arrogant rottweiller-toting bad guy engineered the crime, the more obstacles she encounters. The Street seems to anticipate her every move - but can she can break him?

Meanwhile, a drug runner is shot dead returning to his apartment and Tennison finds herself hot on the case. The victim is a young Pakistani boy and Campbell Lafferty, another juvenile, confesses to the murder but is later released.
