Line of Duty part 2.

[UCOinanOCG]

Do we need this or is there another one already started?

I only just caught up with the second episode of the new season and had been avoiding the last thread for a bit so as not to see spoilers and it is now full!

Ignore me if there is a new thread already on the go. If not feel free to use this one mate.

Reporting in for duty, fella. Was wondering whether someone would start a new one!

Signing in!

Feeling the weight of responsibility starting this new thread. I need a burner phone I think. What are the odds on me getting one delivered to a phone box?

Thanks for the new thread, I wish I had a clue !

Re the Ted shiftiness, maybe he is investigating either Steve or Kate? Or he's had so many bad eggs in his team that he suspects everyone as being shady?!

My OH and I watched series 1 and 4 eps of series 2 over the weekend - wow it's addictive!! Can't wait to catch up to the current series.

"Dot" Cotton
Morton "Harket" (I don't really think Nige could be H but you never know with Jed)

My money is on Home Secretary (as in I don't have a clue)

I also think Lisa is Cafferty's affair partner.

Anyone listening to the podcast? It had me laughing out loud.

I can’t buy into the theory that Lisa is Gates’ daughter.

I can’t buy into the theory that Lisa is Gates’ daughter.

Afraid it was me who first suggested that ... but then dismissed it straight away as she's too old.

But Lise is clearly hiding something from the OCG. I think this may well be to do with her relationship with someone the OCG has harmed in a previous series. I really don't buy that she's a UCO - far too obvious.

Deffo something going on with Lise.

I’ve got a tip for you all. 100/30.

AllTheWhoresofMalta - stay there ....

Another one here who thinks Hastings is innocent but will be set up

I think it's too obvious to be Hastings.

I personally think Hastings is going to be set up. This money business doesn’t bode well. I still think there’s a chance Stephen Corbett is bent. There’s certainly something militant about his attitude to do what he must do at any cost.

There’s certainly got to be more to Lisa than we know currently but I think she is a career criminal.

I'm finding this series much darker than previous series.

I think Steve will be set up by Corbett - maybe to dob Ted in? I don't think Ted is bent - too obvious - but he will be scammed/ compromised in some way. Moffatt was Huntley's Fed Rep, wasn't he? Maybe a link through her/ and that Patrick Baladi lawyer character?

Anyone think Ryan has been suspiciously quiet? I have a feeling that the gang are getting beyond Corbett's control and there does seem to be a shift in the dynamic between him and Lise.

Yes to affair between Lise and Cafferty.

Aha! Checking in for the next instalment

I’ve never heard of the administrators / new owners of a company offering compensation - definitely too good to be true.
I’ve seen some of the earlier series, can someone explain why Ted is getting divorced? Is it ‘just’ his bad investment as he seemed to imply when he met his stbxw at the restaurant or did he have an affair?

'I’ve got a tip for you all. 100/30.'

Random musings...

Lise is too old to be one of Tony Gates daughters with his wife, but could be a daughter from before then? According to the BBC website Tony Gates and Jackie Laverty were engaged before she married the rich Mr Laverty. Perhaps Lise is Jackie and Tony's daughter from back then and maybe adopted and Tony never knew about her. Perhaps that is what was being hinted at when it has been mentioned a couple of times that she is mixed race. She could now be trying to avenge one or both of her parents deaths...

People saying Lise and Cafferty were having an affair - are you saying that Cafferty knew Lise was part of the gang? Or that it was all a big set up and the OCG told Lise to seduce Cafferty in order to then blackmail her and get info for their heists?

Thanks OP

I am yet to be as suffocatingly gripped by this series as the previous ones. Hopefully, this will happen. I think it might be the focus on the gang. I prefer the focus on the police and the interviews etc. I think the over focus on 'Who is H?' is actually detracting from enjoyment of the programme (I mean by the programme btw, not by us!).
