Line of Duty

Aargh!

This is Gates.

What you wanted, it's happening, now you gotta give me Jackie's body.

'What? And ruin our relationship?'

It isn't about me versus you any more. I'm sorry.

I take pride in the courage and professionalism of my counterterrorism officers.

Admit our mistake, apologise, and get on with the job of finding the actual terrorists.

Pointing the finger at your own?

Greek Lane's been under investigation as the scene of a double homicide.

The evidence points very strongly to these men being involved

in a terrorist operation.

It was Tony, he was the one that gave the order.

Officer of the year...

Is something going on between you? No.

Chief Inspector Anthony Gates.

Two identical phones - don't bother saying there's an innocent explanation.

I'm AC-12, call IT now and get them to unlock this bloody computer!

Now! Talk!

What's wrong with these things?

What d'you know about our business?

Come on, I need this information.

Who have you told?

I don't know anything.

Liar. Idiot!

Get that finger in there.

Oh, these don't work!

I ain't a bloody kid!

Then we do him, like Tommy says.

The police, let's go! Go, go!

Go!

Hey, where you going? Come here.

You bent bastard!

Argh!

Ah, you bust me leg!

Get down.

And shut up!

Argh!

No...

Please.

Steve? I'm fine.

You sure? Yeah.

Look, you should go.

It's OK, my cover's blown.

What?

It doesn't matter, I lost Gates.

There's no sign of him here.

Look, I'll follow you to the hospital, all right?

Bastard! Calm down, Ryan, you'll only hurt yourself.

Where's the water cannon when you need it?

Who nicked him? DS Arnott said he did.

Who arrested you, Ryan?

DC Fleming asked you a question, Ryan.

I ain't saying nothing without a solicitor!

Jools?

Jools, are you here?

Jools!

Jools!

It's OK, boy.

It's OK.

Shhh, boy. Shh.

It's OK, Sam, it's OK, big man.

Oh, Tony? Are the girls at school?

What are you doing here? The girls, Jools. Yeah, of course they are.

OK, I need you to pack a couple of bags, pick them up early and then take them to your mum's.

What's going on? Listen, I'll pack the bags myself if I have to, but we have to get going.

Tony, talk to me! They killed Sammy!

Oh, my God.

Yeah. Don't. It's a warning. It's me they're after.

Who are these people? It doesn't matter who they are, I just need to know that you and the girls

are safe, that's all I care about right now.

No, I'm not going anywhere without you.

Jools, you'll be safe at your mum's. This is ridiculous, you're the police!

I'm calling 999. Hey! Listen! I am on my own.

No, you're not!

This mess, it's mine. It's not yours and it's not the girls'.

I just need you to do what I say.

I'm calling Nigel. Don't.

There's not a bloke at the station that won't stand by you. Jools, stop it!

Why are you behaving like this? This is about Jackie, all right,

and the people that she was in business with.

What are you saying? That they killed Sammy?

Yeah. Well, what's it got to do with Jackie?

They killed her, too.

My God. When? A couple of weeks back.

Why didn't you say anything?

Because I thought I'd... I was trying to fix everything.

How? What's going on? It doesn't matter, all right, they're criminals.

Now, I need you to pack those bags and I need you to pick up my girls.

Why are you shutting me out?

Because I need to be able to handle this on my own.

I'm not going anywhere without you.

I was fucking her.

OK?

I was fucking Jackie.

Steve.

You all right?

You're OK. They operated on your hand.

They saved your finger.

Yeah, I'll call you back.

Hey, Steve.

Any sign of Gates?

No. The house is deserted.

DI Buckells' team have put a trace on his phone but it's switched off.

Right.

We'll take a statement when you're feeling a bit better.

Since Gates went AWOL just before it happened,

we're assuming he was involved in some capacity.

Quite a set of charges, isn't it, for the Officer of the Year...

conspiracy, kidnapping, GBH, attempted murder.

I'm not sure he was involved, sir.

We haven't got the evidence yet, you mean.

But we will get it. Kate, we should debrief.

Kate.

All right, Kate, I'll see you back at the office, yeah?

I'm glad you're feeling better, Steve. Thank you, sir.

What's that about?

Well, now my cover's blown,

it's a question of whether I'll stay on the case.

Do you want to carry on?

I think you know the answer.

The men who were holding you got away, but the kid's in custody.

We won't be able to interview him until we've tracked down a responsible adult.

OK.

I heard you trashed Gates' office.

Yeah.

There was a freezer,

in the place they held me.

Struck me as odd.

We found traces of blood on the floor, around the freezer. Cheers.

Hiya. There are traces of body fluids,

seepage from before a body was frozen.

I don't think the seepage products will tell us much.

Tells us they moved it in a hurry.

Yeah, because they didn't clean up.

I'm surprised you've not been pulled out, DC Fleming.

I say Fleming. Who knows?

The chances are her body's in another freezer somewhere else.

It'll be Jackie all right.

They'll preserve the body as evidence against Gates.

He didn't kill her.

No?

I'm not sure he's capable.

I'll come with you. No. I'm all right.

Kate. Dot.

I've just come to get my stuff.

No hard feelings.

Deserved it, didn't she, eh?

Her cover isn't the only thing she blew, you know. Ask Tony.

Here.

Thanks.

Which force are you really from?

Who was your target then, eh? Just Gates?

I can't discuss my brief.

You must be pretty pissed off though, eh,

not getting the evidence you needed.

I got plenty. Yeah?

I don't see Tony Gates in custody. Do you?

The last time I saw Gates, he was talking with Morton.

If anyone's still loyal, it's him.

What?

Leave Morton to me.

Here we go again.

Has Gates called you yet?

He knows there'll be a trace on his phone.

He'll find a way. When he calls, give him a message.

The subway between Borogrove Estate and Moss Heath Park. tell him I'll be there,

alone, at midnight.

You must think I'm thick as pig shit.

You don't know the situation between me and Gates, but he does.

What if I say, "screw you"?

The only person you'd be screwing is your best mate.

Virtually all my detectives have been seconded to the operation.

You've responded decisively, sir.

You two know each other?

What you doing here?

Chief Inspector Osborne is contributing his expertise

to our counter terrorism operation. You believe this?

The Greek Lane cell appeared exactly the same time as ours

dropped off the radar.

We can't exclude a direct connection.

If you'll excuse us, DS Arnott.

I'm sorry about that, Philip.

Ah, DS Cottan, our Acting Deputy SIO. CI Osborne.

Cottan. Very pleased to meet you, sir.

Morning. Hiya, I'm Ryan Pilkington's social worker.

Just a minute.

Hi. Sorry. DC Fleming.

Will you come with me, please?

Thanks.

Interview under caution with Ryan Pilkington

by Detective Constable Fleming in the presence of Ryan's solicitor.

Louise Burton. Social worker. Jane Hargreaves.

Community Liaison Officer, Community Juvenile Liaison Officer

and Community Policing Case File Officer, PC Bannerjee.

I know things aren't great for you at home, Ryan.

We've had to give up on your mum.

She won't come in.

She'd rather leave all this to your case workers.

How d'you feel about that?

My parents split up when I was a kid.
