Many people pass through airport security every day, but officer Lee suspects a male passenger might have overstayed his allotted time in the UK. Seeing suspicious transactions, the officer tries to find out what exactly happened.

Why did the man stay for so long? Is there any evidence of any illegal activity?

Lisa is suspicious from the outset when she looks at his passport stamps. She finds out he’s living in Britain and running businesses based in Britain. This is illegal. He denies everything despite compelling evidence. He is refused entry and returned on the next flight back to Pakistan. Another officer at Heathrow, Tim Wetherall, picks up an Indian couple who are found by customs carrying 18,000 cigarettes and 27kilos of tobacco. After the interview the man threatens to kill himself. They are offered asylum and accept. The couple changes their mind at the last minute and the Chief Immigration Officer does a deal with them to protect them from any potential legal problems on return to India.
