Line of Duty #4 - in Ted we trust

[NigesFakeWalkingStick]

Just new one ready for fill up of #3

Why not give the money to his poor wife? I think that was his plan before he found out who John was

I called the lawyer out as the main dodgy person way up thread.

It’s definately Ted (see what I did there)

How did Steve guess morse code by looking at a still frame?

Four dots is a bit of a leap from what could be a twitch as he was dying.

Its left me feeling a bit meh

optimist - the note said - couldn’t wait any longer, gone to cinema as promised.

PC Tranter didn’t look dead as she was whizzed out of AC12 on a trolley. Too much to hope she would just tell them who gives her orders?

Hastings May have been telling the truth about his visit to banks. He may have just been pressing for information. He hadn't taken any pains to hide his visit.

Thank you for explaining PC Simon.

I got the impression that Dot was saying there were 4 people. Dot, Hilton, Gill and...what I don’t get is that she would definitely know who H was then so why give immunity without getting that out of her. Doesn’t make sense.

I need to go and rewatch Dot's dying declaration to see if the tapping was in it!! Or have they refilmed that after deciding on the ridiculous morse code storyline?

@Optimist1
It was a note from her husband saying as she was late home he'd already taken their son to the cinema as promised.
Guilt trip.

Lisa lied about who slashed Corbett’s throat. It was Ryan. She said they were all dead!

I thought that was excellent, although when Biggeloe was revealed as the baddy by Kate and Steve I was expecting her to peel off a mask and say she'd have got away with it if it wasn't for those pesky AC12 officers.
One question, the officer who stabbed Biggeloe - why? Obviously she's instructed by H but at what point did she get the order from above? And did she reveal anything about where she'd getting her orders?

I think it’s Hastings now. She knew and that’s why nothing was said. Pains me to say it though

Didnt Jed Mercurio use the mose trick in a scene from Bodygaurd someone was tapping out messages with his finger whilst being interviewed?.

Actually they are dripping with people who should be able to help them work out who the baddies are, but they just seem to keep giving them immunity and sending them off!

I don’t think using morse code is ridiculous. It’s well known in the police and not many people outwith it would know so it makes sense to use it

I think Lise is recruiting for the ocg not trying to educate them away from crime.

Ryan is going to be fast tracked through the ranks and be a bent bastard.

The link with Denman and the other Denman on the Sands View list is still out there.

Why was Leione (sp) body kept in the freezer like Jackie Laverty? My guess is that the ocg planted DNA but Roz changed this to Ifield's instead to save herself.

Who was the tribute to at the end?

Loved the episode minus the Morse code bit. Also loved that the Catholic/Protestant ness of Hastings name was mentioned after you all thoroughly discussed it earlier in the threads!

Simon Banerjee was a bend copper too, he was the one who kidnapped Lyndsey Denton in Series 2.
I think Ryan is going into the police as an inside OCG.
I don't know WtF else is going on though, I was convinced Lisa was undercover.

Obviously she's instructed by H but at what point did she get the order from above?

Wasnt she texting someone in the background in the final scencs before suggesing she might like to use the lav?

That’s what I said now , if it was Hastings he would have blinked straight away at A in hAstings.
So there’s another someone out there that’s ‘bent’ and that will be the next series. Is it Bungalow’s boss??
Glad they saved Ted, never thought it was him!

No, Simon Bannerjee was a nice PC who wanted to save Ryan from a life of crime in series 1.

The officer who stabbed Gill got a message to do it once Gill had sent her request for help. They wanted her silenced rather trying to rescue her.

If Hastings is innocent why did Bigelow go to those lengths to incriminate him? I don’t understand the point. Now everyone thinks / knows he’s innocent and nothing changed

Ryan has been wiped out of OCG history so he can succeed in his new role in the police. It'll take a while before he's useful in there too.

I thought Kate's husband had left her, so was pleasantly surprised they'd only gone to the cinema. He clearly doesn't understand the job (or make any effort to), so they're doomed. I doubt they'll be together next series.

Steve's addicted to painkillers. (Do these affect your ability to get / maintain an erection?)
