DCI Banks: Cold Is The Grave: Part 1, Season 1, Episode 7, 2010:

      This series is based on novels written by Peter Robinson. Detective Inspector Banks is asked by his superior officer, Chief Superintendent Rydell to find his missing teenage daughter, Emily.  Banks is going out on a limb on this investigation because he should not be looking into this case.  Banks learns that Emily is in the Soho neighborhood of London and she is living with a violent criminal, Barry Clough.      

     Emily is returned to her parents and her mother Rosalind Rydell is very happy.  Rosalind had been very distraught over Emily’s absence.  Along with the Rydell case, the department is working the murder of Charlie McKay.  He stole money from a bar in Eastvale, wrecked a stolen van and he was murdered in a gangland execution.  Banks is still worried about Emily even though she has been returned to her parents.  She said in front of Banks and Clough at a large party that she had incriminating evidence about Clough.  Emily disappears again and Clough’s henchman Niall Gilbert has been following Emily and Banks?

     There is a LOT going on in this episode.  Banks has only an internet lead to follow in his search for Emily.  It was very dangerous for Emily and her family plus Banks for her to disclose that she has dirt on Clough.  Barry Clough will stop at nothing to have a “clean” reputation!!  Plus, he has plenty of money to hire people to gladly do his dirty work.  Banks runs into some pitfalls and some of his officers are suspicious about his behavior concerning Emily??  This is only conjecture but it does add to the burden for Banks.  Down the road, will there be blow back for getting involved in this case?  5* (I liked this series)
