The Vice is an ITV police drama about the Metropolitan Police Vice Unit. Spanning five short series from 1999 and 2003, it follows the London Metropolitan police force's vice squad, where prostitution, underage sex, and such organised crime are regular occurrences. Most episodes end where the main villain is caught but often not in a 'naturally' concluded way expected from other TV dramas, and often ending with more unanswered questions than answered. Leader DI Pat Chappel struggles to manage the balance between his private and professional lives — as do the rest of the team. Working in the seedy underworld leads to a continual dilemma — the tension between the Vice Squad and vice-related crimes runs throughout the series and gives the show a rich viewing experience. The line of the team staying on the right side of the law is often blurred, as almost every member at different points submits briefly or permanently to the dubious temptations, sometimes with drastic consequences.
Disgraced Chappel has been transferred to a desk job following the events of the operation into the paedophile ring, and Vickers has been drafted in to head-up the vice squad as his replacement. When Chappel discovers that Hutchins has disappeared during an undercover operation into a pornographer, he becomes obsessed with finding her. Using his informants, Chappel manages to locate Hutchins, only to see her destroying herself with a powerful addiction to crack cocaine. Risking everything to save her, and under a watchful eye from Vickers, Chappel takes Hutchins to a safe house. But when he discovers that the pornographer raped her, Chappel finds himself up on a murder charge.
