| A man accused of participating in an armed robbery is re-apprehended after 16 years on the run.

| Deed's affair comes back to bite him as the Home Office pressures for his resignation or impeachment; he is temporarily exiled to lecture at a university.

| 18 | "Separation of Powers" | G.F. Newman | Deborah Paige | 7.4 million | 10 February 2005 (2005-02-10) |
| Deed hears the case (pretrialed in "Defence of the Realm") of birth defects near a waste disposal plant.

Famous quotes containing the word series:
“Rosalynn said, “Jimmy, if we could only get Prime Minister Begin and President Sadat up here on this mountain for a few days, I believe they might consider how they could prevent another war between their countries.” That gave me the idea, and a few weeks later, I invited both men to join me for a series of private talks. In September 1978, they both came to Camp David.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
