But Ivan Lewis, the internal investigations officer assigned to do the task, has more than just work conflict with Regan.

The criminals left £200k worth of high-end accessories in the possession of a vicious crime lord. At the scene of the crime, they also found one civilian casualty.

Yet without any concrete evidence and just a gut feeling, he has no means to even get a warrant for his arrest. Later on, it is unraveled that Francis is working with a powerful Serbian crook. Learning this information, Regan goes out of his way and out of the jurisdiction of law enforcement to subdue the suspects responsible for the deaths and robberies and to bring justice and order.
