Old Rules, New Games

With the bombing investigation stalled for lack of hard evidence, Jock puts pressure on an old trusted informant for information about the people who handled the explosives. Unfamiliar with the specifics of the explosives involved with the bomb, Jock brings Goose out of the lab to meet with Tiny, a safe cracker, who provides a sample from the same batch.

Tiny's low profile is threatened when he steals a car from a shopping centre unaware of the child sleeping in the back seat. He discovers the child hours later en route to a job and phones Jock for help. Jock does his best to protect his valued informant but the Commissioner refuses to let Tiny get off without being charged in connection with the high profile abduction, even if it is just for car theft.

Meanwhile, the abduction clouds the squad's search for an escaped convict and Peter and Laz work to identify the bomb's shrapnel materials.
