S01E08 - The Good Father

Manchester CID is intent on stopping a new gang in town, the Morton brothers, but they have to find them first. The trail leads from a pair of armed thugs to Vic Tyler, Sam Tyler's father. Sam tries to prove his dad is just an ordinary citizen trying to protect his family from gangsters, but Gene Hunt finds the evidence pointing to Vic as a major player. Sam, remembering that his dad left the family about this time (1973), becomes convinced that by making Vic stay, he will get home himself. Events come to a head at a family wedding where Sam learns the truth about his father and his own past.
