Bad Blood

Bad Blood is the 60th episode of Taggart.

It was originally broadcast on the ITV network on 11 January 2003.

PLOT
When Kurdish mini cab driver, Hassan Osman, is stabbed to death in a frenzied attack, specialist race-hate crime officer, DS Hannah Fairchild, is assigned to DCI Burke's team to assist in the investigation.

Fairchild is an ambitious officer, with lots of charm, and before long she begins to subtly undermine Burke - who resents her presence on the case.

However, as inquiries progress, what began as a racially-motivated murder investigation turns into a race against time as Burke becomes embroiled in an attempt to prevent an imminent full-scale Glasgow gang war.

And to complicate matters, DS Reid becomes suspicious of Fairchild when missing forensic reports on the case are found in Fairchild's desk - who seems to have more than a politically-correct motivaion for her involvement in the case.
