The episode sees Regan sporting a moustache accompanied by a flirty hitch hiker he has picked up. I thought he was undercover as a typical 1970s porn movie actor.
Instead Regan is working undercover as a long distance lorry driver, trying to get a lead on a gang who are hijacking lorries and stealing the cargo.
The lady hitchhiker, Fran is the first real lead after working weeks undercover. Carter who has been following the lorry sees the hitchhiker driving off in a fast car after Regan drops her off.
Fran is involved with the hijackers and before long Regan agrees to be a victim in an hijacking, he receives a severe beating to make it look realistic.
This is an episode where we see Haskins backing Regan's hunch. So far he has been rather aloof, the character has not even appeared in every episode.
This is another muscular episode. Regan finds himself in danger as some members of the gang suspect he is a copper. Fran is the bit on the side of the gang leader but she is also involved with one of the henchman who has taken a dislike to Regan.
