On the way, he bumps into old friend Lynford, the neighbourhood wheeler-dealer. He is also stopped and questioned by racist police officer Challoner. Challoner’s boss, Kilcoyne, intervenes, realising Reuben is ex-army. At home, Reuben is visited by Colin, another old friend. Colin offers Reuben unspecified work; Reuben refuses. Reuben visits Fish, his wife Debbie, and their children. Fish lost a leg in the Falklands war and is struggling financially. When Bob (now a policeman) turns up demanding Fish pay off a debt, Reuben provides the money; Fish is humiliated. Reuben discovers a teenage girl, Hayley, and her younger brother, Oscar, burgling his flat. He makes Oscar lead him to his own flat, where he has an angry confrontation with their mother, Stacey. Later, an apologetic Stacey returns Reuben’s medals. Reuben meets Lynford. Challoner arrives. He roughs up Lynford and, when a bystander attempts to intervene, pulls a gun. Kilcoyle arrives, and Challoner hastily conceals the gun. Kilcoyle asks Lynford about his whereabouts a few days ago. Lynford volunteers Reuben as his alibi; Reuben supports him. Colin shows Reuben around his sports centre. Reuben notices a gun in the glove compartment of Colin’s Porsche. Colin claims his business is legitimate and offers to make Reuben his partner. Reuben refuses. Fish, Bob and Reuben go to a party, where Reuben dances with Stacey. Walking Stacey home, Reuben sees police raiding the party. Lynford is led away in handcuffs. Bob warns Reuben not to get involved. Reuben, Stacey and her children visit a funfair. Reuben offers to take her to Paris; she agrees. But seeing Reuben using a rifle range, she becomes distressed, citing her ex-partner’s involvement with guns. Reuben promises her he’s hung up his guns for good. Returning to the estate, they see three youths - one wearing a jacket with a distinctive ’HBC’ logo - drop a concrete block on a police car, killing well-liked neighbourhood constable Harry. Questioned by Kilcoyne, Reuben denies seeing anything.
