Hannah: These were found
hidden in DS Brandice's car.
Liz: Wheatley's investigation
is premised on the idea
that Crowther that had
Brandice in his pocket.
I'm not so sure.
Soran Ahmadi,
the only other witness
in the Crowther trial.
Mum, someone's out the back.
Liz: There was another
man at your house.
Do you think you
might have seen him?
- [ Gun fires ]
- No.
Hannah: DS Brandice had surgery
and they're keeping him
under. It's touch and go.
Liz: Do you think you
could unlock this?
- Whose phone is it?
- Liz: Brandice's.
Raj: And why the hell haven't
you given it to Wheatley?
This better be worth it, Liz.
[ Bike revving ]
Liz: Someone on that
list just served up
a 12-year-old girl
to Eddie Crowther.
Kelman: Right now everyone
is under suspicion.
Liz: No-one can find any links
between Crowther and Brandice.
Raj Kohli, I'm arresting you
on suspicion of
conspiracy to murder.
Someone wants her dead,
yet she says she
didn't see anything.
Those two things
don't make sense.
You know I didn't
do this, right?
I'm gonna get this
sorted, Raj, trust me.

I can speak to you then.
Okay.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
How can I help?
I wanted to talk to you
about DS Kohli, ma'am.
You know I can't share details
of an active investigation.
Well, of course, but there's
been a terrible mistake.
I've worked with
Kohli for three years.
- I can't believe he's bent.
- Mm.
So, listen
several of my colleagues
think the matter of
the leak is resolved.
It's either Raj
Kohli acting alone
or Kohli in collaboration
with Brandice.
All we need to do is
link them to Crowther,
and it's case closed.
I'm not so sure.
Well, I'm glad to hear it.
My own feeling is that
someone planted this message
to set Raj up.
The key question in all this is,
who is the common denominator?
Well, if you ask me
I think it's you.
Sorry?
You were privy to the
location of the safe house
and to the location of the
Amy McLennan interview.
You found DS Brandice's car,
and you're Raj Kohli's partner,
so he's likely to
have trusted you.
Are you making an
allegation against me?
Not yet.
But my gut tells me you
are hiding something, Liz.
Whatever it is, I'll find out.

Okay, bye.
What's going on?
You might wanna ask
DCI Kelman that.
Over here please, Nyles.
DCI Kapoor's
decided to step down
as head of the Protected Persons
Unit, effective immediately.
What?
Is he all right?
Taking early retirement.
As Kapoor's deputy,
the expectation is
that you'll step in
as acting head of the unit
until a permanent replacement
can be appointed.
Can I ask who this came from?
Command.
Ma'am, I'm already
over-committed.
Are you declining the promotion?
No, ma'am, but
Good.
I've let the unit know that
we'll be addressing them
at 10:00 a.m.
[ Tense music ]
Oh, and congratulations,
Acting DCI Nyles.
[ Tense music ]
♪♪
Arun, what the hell?
Excuse me.
Given the various balls at play,
it was suggested that
the unit might benefit
from a change of direction.
- [ Liz sighs ]
- Strongly suggested.
I'm sorry.
Truthfully, it's
a bit of a relief.
Kelman has just asked me to
step up temporarily, but
You know they're
setting you up to fail.
Right now, this unit,
it's a poisoned chalice.
Well, not if I can prove
who's really behind this.
Detective: Are you ready?
Good luck with that,
Acting DCI Nyles.
You're gonna need it.
I know DCI Kapoor's
departure comes as a surprise
to all of us, and
you'll have questions
about DS Kohli and DS
Brandice, amongst other things.
There's a rumour the
unit's being shut down.
Can you at least confirm
whether that's true?
I can't preempt decisions
that have been made
by Senior Command,
but what I can say is we've
still got protected witnesses
that require management so I
think we should focus on them.
But if there's another leak,
aren't they all still in danger?
While the enquiry into
this unit will continue,
the immediate security threat
is thought to be resolved.
So from a resource
allocation point of view,
moving every single witness
is not regarded as a high
priority at this time.
I need to protect the
integrity of this unit.
So we can't be complacent.
Amanda: You did well.
Liz: Morale's on the floor.
That's what happens
when police officers
betray their colleagues.
I understand that the case
against DS Kohli looks strong,
but I have serious doubts.
And if he isn't the leak,
then the immediate security
threat is far from resolved.
I'd be happy to undertake
a personal review
of the evidence against him.
Of course, I can't
make any promises.
Thank you, ma'am.

Not exactly, but I reckon

That's the thing,
I won't be able to
relieve you right now.
Ma'am, I've been

Arun stepped down,
and I've been told to
take over temporarily.
And right now,
I'd prefer to keep this
location strictly between us.
May I ask, ma'am
why me?
Well, you didn't have access
to Amy's interview location
so you couldn't have leaked it.
Kelman's put you
through the ringer
and you came out spotless.
Also, I think Amy
might like you.

I'm sorry, I need to take this.
Rick, tell me you've
got something.
I wish I could.
That name you gave

Liz: Yeah, any
connection to Crowther?
Not unless Crowther
secretly went to Eton
and works in a merchant bank.
I mean, I'll send you
everything I've got,
but on paper Gibson
looks pristine.
What about our motorcyclist?
Your informants
got anything there?
They're scared, Liz.
What happened with the McLennans
has sent out a message.

put them in the bin.

I'm here to help you, okay?
I agreed to testify
against Crowther.
So I'll be next on his list.
Liz: Well, we are
rebuilding the case.
But if you are now refusing
to give evidence
against Crowther,
you'll be forced out of the
Protected Persons programme.
And then I can't do
any more to help you.
But if I testify, I'm dead.
I'm in charge of
this safe house,
so I can allow you to stay here
at least until the
heat dies down.
I can help you, but
you've gotta help me.
[ Train rumbling ]
I worked for Crowther
because he promised to
get my family to the UK.
But he lied. My children
are still there.
That's why I agreed to do this.
You made the right decision.
Soran: Really?
I still hope to see my family.
If Crowther kills me, how
is that going to happen?
Liz: So you helped him
import heroin into the UK?
Soran: Eddie wanted access
to cheap heroin in Turkey.
So he came to me to
help organise it.
Local knowledge.
And McLennan laundered
the earnings.
Soran: It's all in my statement.
Liz: Who managed it for
him the Turkish end?
It's a good question.
I'm trying to identify
one of Crowther's crew.
He's a skilled motorcyclist,

Jock Ferguson.

He said it was police.
I said I already have
two protection officers
looking after me,
and Bewley's team
preparing me for the trial,
so what's his job?
What did he say?
"Good question."
That's what he said.
He said I mustn't tell
anyone he was there,

for me, big problems.
And after that?
He said he'd be back, but
I never saw him again.

Made me work twice as hard,
made sure I lived
up to expectations.
He must have been
proud of you, though,
when you joined the force.
Sure.
I mean, he didn't say

Police families.
Sometimes I feel like coppers
here don't really trust you
unless you're born into one.
Mm.
My ex was from a police family.
Trusting him was the
biggest mistake I ever made.
I guess it takes a leap of faith

Yeah, and Ahmadi named our

used to be tight with Crowther.
Right, so fits the bill.

Amy described it.
Forensics suggests that
he was shot downstairs
at the same time as the others.
So the attempt on
the girl's life
could have been Ferguson
acting on his own initiative.
It was always too
reckless for Crowther.
But a guy like Ferguson,

Kelman has just asked me to

Right now, this unit,
it's a poisoned chalice.

Good luck with that,

You're gonna need it.
I know DCI Kapoor's

to all of us, and
you'll have questions
about DS Kohli and DS
Brandice, amongst other things.
There's a rumour the
unit's being shut down.
Can you at least confirm
whether that's true?
I can't preempt decisions
that have been made
by Senior Command,
but what I can say is we've
still got protected witnesses
that require management so I
think we should focus on them.
But if there's another leak,
aren't they all still in danger?
While the enquiry into
this unit will continue,
the immediate security threat
is thought to be resolved.
So from a resource
allocation point of view,
moving every single witness
is not regarded as a high
priority at this time.
I need to protect the
integrity of this unit.
So we can't be complacent.
Amanda: You did well.
Liz: Morale's on the floor.
That's what happens
when police officers
betray their colleagues.
I understand that the case
against DS Kohli looks strong,
but I have serious doubts.
And if he isn't the leak,
then the immediate security
threat is far from resolved.
I'd be happy to undertake

Liz: How did this happen?
He was recovering.
There'll be a postmortem,
but the registrar says it
was likely cardiac arrest
brought on by the
strain of his injuries.
No, no, I saw someone
come out of the
ward just before.
He was dressed like
a nurse, but
You sure it wasn't
a member of staff?
They did something to
him to shut him up.
And the police guard wasn't
here, why wasn't he here?
Good question.
Liz: I said the danger wasn't
resolved, and it isn't.
Amanda: Leave this with me.
I'll make sure your concerns
are taken seriously.
The detective chief inspector
wants all non-essential
personnel out of here.
Especially you.
Come on, Jardine, she worked
with the deceased officer.
Think we can show a
bit of compassion.
All due respect, ma'am,
but we are still investigating
a multiple homicide.
So if the detective inspector
wants the area cleared,
I'm obliged to clear the area.
Fine, I'll see her out.
[ Gentle music ]
As I said, if something
untoward did happen here,
it'll come to light.
I guarantee it.
Thank you, ma'am.
Also, I'm not suggesting
we invade their
privacy right now,
but etiquette demands
that at some stage,
Brandice's senior officer
make a visit to the family
to express the police
force's formal condolences.

Jasmine: You look good, Mum.
Really?
What you said about
Granddad before,
something's going on there
and you aren't telling me.
I'm sorry, love, I can't
talk about this right now.
When then?
You can't just say
something like that
and then march out
and leave me to worry.
You're right.
I've been trying to
protect you from it.
I should have told you sooner.
You have a right to know.
Mum?
Granddad's been
diagnosed with dementia.
Pretty aggressive.
Don't know how long he's got
before it really starts to show.
But he doesn't seem too bad.
I mean, okay, he
forgets things, but
I'm sorry, love.
I love him.
Having him here,
it's been the best thing
that's happened this last year.
Liz: I know, love, I know.

May I come in?
I'd rather you didn't.
On behalf of the unit
and the force as a whole,
I'd like to express
our deepest
He was my husband.
I understand that.
You said you were going
to find out who shot him,
and now he's gone.
Why?
I tried, I'm still trying
to work that out, but
You're not part of the
official investigating team.
I've asked.
So what is your special
interest in this case?
Finding the truth.
Listen, I do not
wanna see you again
and I do not wanna speak to
you again, do you understand?
Do you understand?

I heard you got bumped
up, head of the unit.
Raj
Brandice is dead.
Shit.
I think he was killed,
murdered at the hospital.
It was stupid, but I really
thought he'd confess.
Name whoever really did this,
and I'll be out, but now
Liz: I'm making headway.
Whoever orchestrated
the hit on McLennan
expected Brandice to be
left holding the bag.
But this second leak
on Amy's location,
that couldn't have been him.
So they needed
someone else to set up
to take the fall for that.
How are we gonna prove
any of this, Liz?
It's been 36 hours.
Wheatley's gonna charge
me soon, she's got to.
No, no, she's got one piece
of evidence against you.
So her team will be trying to
find something to corroborate
before they make the next move.
They'll drag this out as long
as they can, I'm sure of that.
If I could just give
Wheatley something
to prove that I'm cooperating.
She's after that
burner phone, Liz.
You give her that and
she'll still charge you.
The only difference is we'll
both be in here together,
and that means I am
not out there working
to try and clear your name.
Please, Raj, just give
me some more time.
I'll give you 24 hours.
But after that I'm telling
them about that phone.

Preliminary finding's
heart failure,
which is probably a consequence
of the gunshot wounds.
And what about the
missing police guard?
Rick: Yeah, you were
right about that.
He stepped away from his post.
His relief was
delayed. Car troubles.
Could that have
been orchestrated?
Rick: Well, we're
looking into that.
Oh, it stinks, the
whole thing stinks.
Rick: Yeah, it does.
Look, I'm gonna have
to take a step back
from what we've been
doing for a while.
What? No.
I've been transferred over
to Wheatley's task force.
She shut you down.
Well, either way, I've
got to play by her rules
till I find my feet.
I get it.
And, Rick thank you.
You with the police
investigation?
Yeah, DI Nyles. Thank
you for making time.
Not at all.
One of Detective Chief
Inspector Wheatley's people
was already down here, said
you lot would be in again.
You're interested in security
footage starting at 9:24 p.m.?
Give or take.

There you go.
Oh, it's forward

The ICU ward itself

Apart from yourself, who
has access to this suite?
The last 24 hours,
DCI Wheatley's team's
been pretty tight on security,
no-one else has been in.
Well, apart from Detective
Sergeant Jardine, of course.
Jardine?
Security Officer:
Yeah, the bearded guy
on Wheatley's team.
Came in earlier to review
CCTV like yourself.
I mean, I actually
left him to it,
but pretty sure he'd have
seen something dodgy.
Kelman: Hi. This

Please leave a message.
Right, ma'am, I need to
speak to you urgently
about the death of DS Brandice.
And this is an unusual request,
but what I have to tell you
needs to be for your ears only.
If you could call me back as
