Accountant gets out on parole and goes back to the boss he covered for, looking for a promised payoff. When he doesn't get the cash, he hatches a plan to intimidate the boss's son.
Enter Arthur (friends with the kid's mom) and of course Terence McCann to mind the kid.
The first half of the episode is a bit of a slow build and I'm thinking, this is pretty straightforward drama. But then old accountant Alfie Bass enters the picture, the intimidation game is foiled, better plans get hatched and we are off to the races.
Second half of the episode is peak Minder, with George Cole getting to deliver some very funny lines, Terry getting into a punch-up, and Dave in great support at The Winchester.
The plot resolution is clever and funny. And the epilogue even better.
Minder is hitting on all cylinders at this point.
