Chief Inspector Rebecca Woods and a troop of Diplomatic Protection Group officers race to the Dutch embassy to investigate a shooting, in the first part of the final story in this series of the forensic crime drama. Inside they find the Ambassador, Pieter Van Buren, cradling his wounded daughter Klara. The Ambassador insists the DPG team leave, and Woods has no choice but to comply given it is officially Dutch territory.
Harry and Nikki meet Leo at the Lyell centre to celebrate Leo's MBE, but he's more interested in discussing imminent budget cuts which are putting the centre under pressure. Harry is relieved when he and Nikki are called to the embassy as the tense stand-off continues.
When Pieter emerges from the building, carrying Klara, he tells the police his grandson, Jack, is missing. The team enter and find DPG Sergeant Whitehead. He has been shot in the leg and his weapon is missing. There are more dead bodies: Constable Barlow, the ambassador's sister-in-law and a Dutch bodyguard.
Pieter is worried that history seems to be repeating itself – his own son, Jacob, went missing from the family home in 1996 and was never found.
After an encounter with the security services, Detective Superintendent Mansfield is given orders to keep the true identity of the dead bodyguard a secret, and the Dutch appoint their own pathologist, James Sabiston.
As Klara recovers in hospital, her memory starts to return and she suddenly remembers who carried out the shooting.
Chief Inspector Rebecca Woods is played by Kate Ashfield, Pieter Van Buren by Derek de Lint, Klara Van Buren by Marene Vanholk, Dr Harry Cunningham by Tom Ward, Dr Nikki Alexander by Emilia Fox, Professor Leo Dalton by William Gaminara, Sergeant Craig Whitehead by Matthew McNulty and Detective Superintendent Mansfield by Lorcan Cranitch. The Prodigal is written by Michael Crompton.

Baked dishes dazzling enough for entertaining are on the menu for ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Two's new baking heroine Lorraine Pascale as she continues to share her secrets, shortcuts and professional know-how.
Ease and speed is the name of the game as she kicks off with a divine dinner-party dish of whisky and chilli tiger prawns. They are succulently baked in the oven and ready in less than 30 minutes.
Lorraine also shares her top three flavour enhancers – the ingredients that really make her baking special and the ones she would never be without in the kitchen. She also explains what makes up her "baker's dozen" – which is everything she keeps on hand in the kitchen so her urge to bake can always be satisfied.
Moving on to desserts and nipping over the channel to Paris, she explains the Anglo/French dispute over who invented one of the all-time favourite elegant desserts: crème brulee. Back home she gives the classic a real twist, conjuring up mascarpone and ginger crème brulee. "Resistance is futile," she admits.
For nibbles there's Lorraine's big fat salt and pepper bread sticks. "Red wine, dips and breadsticks – the beginnings of a very chilled evening," she says.
Finally, she demonstrates how to prepare a real savoury showstopper of sticky glazed Asian ham. She's baking it to take out for dinner and it goes down well hot or cold.

Film-maker Marc Isaacs spends three months outside Highbury Magistrates Court in London as he takes an intimate look at the lives and motivations of those passing through the legal system. On the steps outside the court, he speaks to armed robbers, long-term thieves, addicts and anxious relatives all awaiting judgement.
While waiting for their cases to be heard they reveal their lives through tense and personal conversations with the film-maker. Their stories illuminate the cases that magistrates hear daily. An alcoholic tells of his remorse at taking two knives onto the streets to attack a security guard; a father waits anxiously to hear if his son will be released; and an addict banned from seeing his only son hopes for a jail sentence and a chance for rehabilitation.
Marc Isaacs's film delves into the character and circumstances of those brought before the court. The more viewers get to know the people in this film, the harder it becomes to make "easy" judgements about them.
Outside The Court is part of Justice – A Citizen's Guide, a new season of programmes on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Four. Throughout 2011, ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Four hosts a wide-ranging debate on the state of justice in Britain and the world today. Highlights from the season include: Justice – A Citizen's Guide To The 21st Century; Scenes From A Teenage Killing; Justice – Fairness And The Big Society; The Story Of Rough Justice; and a range of international films in the Storyville strand, including a documentary marking the 50th anniversary of Amnesty International. The season is produced in partnership with the Open University.
