Line of Duty thread 4 (No spoilers, please!)

[TedisnotH]

Ok, I've started a new one in anticipation of Thread 3 filling up tonight, part way through the episode!

Who was in the picture??? Was it Lisa McQueen???

@JaneJeffer

Lakewell obviously gave Steve info in the van when did he get the time to do that?

In the time between their discussion about how nobody would know where the info came from and the hijack, there was quite a bit of time while Chloe noticed the vehicles etc.

[quote Buggerthebotox]@NoisyBrain yes, I think so.

I thought of Banks immediately when they said "Blackthorn Prison".

So Boyle, Ryan and Banks are still alive and connected to the OCG. And Lisa, I suppose.[/quote]
Thanks, this is what I get for not rewatching S1-5 before this one started!

I think they should make returning minor characters wear a name tag

@Bluntness100

Sorry I meant to say earlier could jo be Ryan’s mum.(not Carl!). Could he be adopted...

Thinking back to his mum in series 1, I very much doubt she is the type who would pass adopting checks, or who would even want to seeing as she clearly saw Ryan as a massive inconvenience. She was awful!

@denverRegina..when you put it like that,,,😃

@Larryslockdownlunch

Who was in the picture??? Was it Lisa McQueen???

The photo you see on screen appears to be Jo but Ted has 2/3 of the page covered with the top page for the split second it’s on screen. My guess is that there are two pics side by side, and that the ‘match’ is covered and Ted moves the top page fully only out of camera shot.

@Pomegranatespompom

Wise definitely dodgy. Kate irritating tonight.

Also felt sorry for Buckells, think just incompetent rather than bent. Sorry to see Jimmy go, although he'd aged quite a bit and was not as appealing.

The Ryan thing is too irritating makes me want to stop watching.

All the corruption is a bit depressing.

Not as appealing? 😮

I thought prison had done him a favour.

My theories:
Chloe could have made it up to the van but she knew not to go up there. Lakewell wouldn’t speak when he saw her in the interview room.
She’s the leak.

Jo is related to Terry Boyle. She would have been able to have him moved into the flat in episode 1, and also protect him. I think she was hoping to get him into witness protection so he could be kept safe from the OCG.
Ryan tried to kill him to send a message to Jo, not because the OCG wanted him gone.

@ChocBeforeCock...ah I couldn’t remember,,,

@Piggywaspushed

Yeah viques, won't be the same with Sarah's recap.

I so hope she saw the end of the series before she passed. l don't know why but l like to think she was given the opportunity. l suppose it doesn't matter in the scheme of things but somehow it's important in my mind . RIP Sarah you were an excellent writer .Thank you

@ChequerBoard

I think Chloe is definitely dodgy, she is the leak from AC12 that enabled the ambush to happen and her supposed inability to climb the van and open the door is what led to the death of Jonesy.

I thought as Jonsey climbed Chloe was going to take the gin off her nd kill her /in the van

Looked like she was about to grab it

@denverRegina

"Hmmm not sure I’m seeing Chloe as the leak, but you never know."

Telling Steve they need to open the van.

Desperately trying to open it and giving Jones the bunk up.

Double bluffing about a leak in AC12.

The tears of regret when she realised she'd had Jones killed.

James clearly making sure Steve confirmed nothing had been said in the van. Also possibly indicating to Steve that she's involved by his over familiarity with her - I mean, would he even know Chloe to be on first name terms?

Bent as fuck 😂

Would also fit with Steve not letting onto the rest AC12 what Lakewell had told him.

The leak came from higher up than Chloe. Whoever authorised the spiriting away of Jimmy under armed guard by AC12.

GUN. not gin

Blondes looks at her gin 🍸

How did Buckles reach his current position in the police? He's utterly incompetent.

Kate is annoying me. I'm actually of the opinion she's fairly shite at her job.

Chloe is a funny one.

MOTHER OF GOD

The picture was Jo.

Right, what criminals do we know of that were not police officers, that Ted and Steve both know but Chloe doesn’t (hence not being sure what the results mean)?

Tommy Hunter
Lee Banks
Lisa McQueen
Miroslav
Jacqui Laverty

Who else?

Ryan is out as his DNA would be in the police officer database.

Jo is related to Terry Boyle. She would have been able to have him moved into the flat in episode 1, and also protect him. I think she was hoping to get him into witness protection so he could be kept safe from the OCG. Ryan tried to kill him to send a message to Jo, not because the OCG wanted him gone

Ooh I buy that,,,

Best shot I could get!

@CheekyWeeShite I didn't meant the photo of Jo, I meant the big hidden secret one we don't see which prompts Ted's comment.

We'll have to agree to disagree, I'm not certain enough Steve said he. Will have to rewatch more tomorrow.

That one from season 2. The older guy who was in the car with carly kirk

Was Dryden Scottish?

@IstandwithJackieWeaver

I wonder if Jo is the daughter of Jackie Laverty and Tony Gates?

Jo isn’t black /mixed race

@OliveHenry

Best shot I could get!

Defo JD

I'm with you WhoWants2Know
I rather liked scuffy Lakewell. RIP

I thought the nod between lakewell and Steve was because it was obvious Steve had back problems in the van and lakewell hadn't mentioned it
