Bloodstained Angels
Episode 4.08 (136)
March 18, 1997
Written by David Phillips
Directed by Grant Brown
Responding to a complaint from a concerned parent about his underage son being in a local pub, Maggie and Dash are on hand when a young woman emerges, screaming and covered in blood. The girl is uninjured, the blood is fake, and the fan is actually flattered to have been chosen to be the band's "Bloodstained Angel", so the band get off with a warning but Tom is worried by their presence. His fears appear to be confirmed when he discovers one of the station's vehicles defaced with graffiti resonant of the band, MCD (Mad Cow Disease). But that is only the beginning of the Heelers problems with the band. A vandalised angel in the cemetery relates to the band's signature song "Bloodstained Angel" and then a blazing car in front of the Commercial Hotel conjures up another line of lyrics from the same song.
Meanwhile, a father seeks the help of the police in rescuing his son from the spell of the "demonic band". Tom is sympathetic, but there is only so much the local police sergeant can do, despite the gallery of death and destruction on the boy's bedroom walls. By now the peace of Mt Thomas appears to be shattering and the Heelers must determine whether they are looking at a publicity stunt, an avenging father or an adoring fan. As they look more closely at the lyrics, they realise that they have to act quickly because a direct attack on the police is next on the agenda.
