The Ends of Justice

The Ends of Justice is the 109th episode of Taggart. It was originally broadcast on STV on 7 November 2010 and was shown in the rest of the UK on 22 February 2011.

PLOT
A busker is stabbed in a centre city alley - his death throes witnessed by pedestrians. The crime scene is a forensic nightmare with bloody footprints contaminating the scene

CCTV footage reveals two notable figures in the vicinity of the crime - namely ranking gangster Benny 'Baby Doc' Docherty and Clark Donovan, Head of Appropriations at the City Council.

Meanwhile, Ross' personal life is spiralling out of control. His gambling debt has been sold to Benny Docherty and he's trying - and failing - to rehabilitate a drug addict. When Professional Standards are brought in to investigate his conduct, Burke takes the decisions to remove him from the case.
