Jack and Charlie are in the car when they receive a call from control about a serious assault, in the street where Martha lives.
JW: Shit
CS: What?
JW: That's where the boss lives
Jack accelerates and they head to the crime scene.
Scene 2 ( 00.27 - 01.15 )
Forensics, uniform and Martha (in her off duty clothes) are already on the scene. When Jack and Charlie arrive, Martha tells Jack that the victim is a neighbour. He asks her if she knew him and if she wants to take the case. She replies she doesn't have to, but doesn't see an alternative, "someone's shat on my front door step haven't they."
Scene 3 ( 01.16 - 01.46 )
Martha and Jack enter the premises, Martha fills Jack in on the victims details.
MB: Jonathan Moxton, Barrister, found naked hands tied behind his back with a pair of ladies underpants on the pillow next to him.. victim being coshed on the head with a blunt instrument, he's on his way to A&E, he's unconscious but he's breathing.
In the bedroom where the attack took place, the sheets and pillow are covered in blood.
JW: Sex game gone wrong?
MB: Maybe..
JW: Is this is a particularly kinky neighbourhood?
MB: Thank you Jack. Check for laptops, phones, ipads that sort of thing, point of entry Jack.
Scene 4 ( 01.47 - 02.49 )
Charlie talks to neighbour Saul Hammond, who found Jonathan Moxton. He tells her he heard a scream as he was about to go into his own house, so he came over the check out what was going on and found Jonathan in the bed with hands tied and something in his mouth which he removed to check if he was breathing. Charlie tells him they will be taking him to the station because he has blood on his clothes and there may be DNA.
Scene 5 ( 02.50 - 03.38 )
Martha talks to Tanya Moxton, Jonathan's wife, at the hospital. She asks Tanya what her movements were that day and at the time of the attack. Tanya says she knows Saul Hammond and that he is not very well, "well, he's mentally ill."
The first thing I noticed in this episode is how they used the rear view mirror to capture Jack's reaction. That ended up being a theme carried on through most of S2.
Jack does not mince words does he? lol

And this is the first time we're let in a little into Martha's non working life - she's in her non work clothes and was unpacking the shopping... and this crime has happened on her street.
I have to note that I noticed a plot hole in this scene. Saul says that he heard yelling so he ran into the house. But how could he hear yelling if the victim had something stuffed in his mouth?

I just love chemistry between Martha and Jack. It was so nice after a while to see them both back in action, first scenes with Martha and Jack was pure treat.
Now, I know Suspects took a huge leap ahead in this new season and actors are more confident than before. This first scene already got me thinking that this is going to be amazing.
Potty mouth Jack made me smile in the very beginning, and I was surprised that crime happened near Martha's home.
I noticed that too Jane. At first I thought maybe the victim had gotten out a yell before the undies got stuffed in his mouth, but that doesn't make sense because there wouldn't have been enough time to do more beating before Saul came in. What I wasn't sure of was, was he tied up before he got attacked or did the attacker tie and gag him, then started beating on him. Of course most of my questions come after learning who did it...

Whimsy, using the rear mirror was major success, I just love when Jack looks in the camera while driving. It makes you feel that you are sitting in the backseat!
This initial exchange between Martha and Jack was perhaps the first sign of tension between them that grew over the episodes.... with Jack stepping over the line and Martha needing to be firm?
