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!

When I heard 'BJ' as one of the made up word initialisms, my mind went to the gutter, I'm afraid.

He's probably another fool who's handed a DNA sample to them!

@mocktheweek1

Does anyone else have a soft spot for Ryan after knowing him so long? Or am I strange?

No he's a bastard.

@KittyOSullivanKrauss

That's reminded me that the reason for Ted's visit to Lee Banks in series 5 was never explained. Unless he was getting revenge on Corbett for assaulting Roisin. Lisa said the information about Corbett came from Blackthorn prison.

Apparently we were supposed to accept he just went to talk to him (since Lisa said no one told them he was a UCO, just that they knew he was a rat). And that he disposed of his laptop because he’d looked at porn at some point.

Again, clue or bad writing?

• by Episode 4 spoilers I definately mean an entire account of all the remaining episodes.

Now.

Love love love your username

Yes what was the relevance of the Jake interview? They don’t usually waste scenes in LOD but nothing seemed to come out of that scene - so I’m expecting either Jake or the guns to be relevant in future episodes!

They got their guns from somewhere other than the workshop. But they were taken to the workshop and offered workshopped guns.

I think the photo over the page will be Lorraine Kelly.

[quote peachgreen]@SusannahSophia as far as I know, TV captioners don't work from scripts, they just caption what they hear - that's why they're often innaccurate (late DH worked in theatre captioning where they DO use scripts and it drove him bonkers that they were so often wrong on TV!) That said I do think it will be a man![/quote]
@peachgreen You are probably right, but at least the subtitler agrees with me that it sounded like ‘he.’

This made me

Well, they did say there was a racist element...

I think Jo Davison is the daughter of Robert Denmoor.

If this is the final series I’m predicting ted & Steve die 😢 or it ends with the best cops standing on the staircase looking down on Ted & Steve being wrongfully arrested for corruption. I’ll be well pissed off if either of these happen

I feel I need to script of the last scence. However i'm prepared to believe Jo is related to any male that's ever appeared in any series so far. Even if it's someone who is a few years younger and I get told he's her father!!

All we know is, he is a "nominal", he is a he and it waa very puzzling to both Choloe and Steve.

I had a few theories- it's Dot. Dot's ex wife waa in Forensics and someone cleaned Terry's flat very well to a forensic level. Only thing missing from my theory is what that means to the story line.

I need it to be next week now.

Could this be who is in Jo’s photo?

Sorry if off topic here but during the ambush why did they keep referring to 'Windermere'. Have tried to Google this!

@OnlyFoolsnMothers

Dots sister?

This was my thought...

Oh yes, I don't think Buckles is corrupt. Not police work wise.

He's a sleazy perv who manipulates women into having sex with him so they get their charges dropped. He's not smart enough to be corrupt just totally incompetent hasn't a clue what's going on and promoted as he's a puppet for someone high up.(the very top?)

Who put the files in his car?

I guessed that this was the codename for Lakewell ...as in Lake Windermere? But that’s only my guess

Bent copper Kate!

Windermere was the code name used for Jimmy Lakewell. Lake, Windemere, geddit? Since the reason for using a code name was to hide his identity from a highly dangerous and sophisticated criminal gang I personally think they could have done without the cryptic crossword shit and just named him Zebra or Katmandhu or something completely random. But what do I know?

I like Ryan as well He plays the bad cop very well!

What about Gill Biggeloe?

She's living in some run down seaside town, but could she be connected in some way?

I know we think its a man whose connected to Jo, but could Gill be linked?

Ooooh I like it! I was just saying to DH you don't close down an anti corruption unit and slash headcount by 90% when that unit has a long list of bent coppers it's uncovered, not least Buckles within the actual same episode! That is a unit doing its job. Unless you are H or corrupt yourself and I think Andrea and the PCC are in it up to their necks. The PCC for hushing up PR purposes and Andrea because she's H.

Mother of God, woman, are you trying to get me killed?
