The perp is shot in the chest three times at close range with a nine millimetre semi automatic pistol, yet a second later he gets up and overpowers the former detective who shot him. The fact is that a vest will stop the forward motion of the bullet, but the energy from the sudden cessation of velocity of the solid is transmitted as kinetic energy into the torso, the result of which, even with a 9mm from less than two metres, he would have suffered at the least, broken ribs, possibly a punctured lung and organ trauma. At the end, the perp gets hit with a conveniently placed crowbar, which will, even with a slighter built person such as Emilia Fox, stove in a human skull like an eggshell. It often annoys me when people get hit in tv shows, they shrug it off like it was nothing. Granted, in actual real life the person throwing the punch most likely doesn't have a clue how to properly throw a punch, but the character that hit the perp is a cage fighter, he's going to know how to hit and hit extremely hard, meaning a man who should have internal bleeding, broken ribs still managed to bounce back, stab the seasoned fighter and nearly kill him until the Dr Alexander character brained him with a crowbar. Good grief!
