Where were you going?

What were you thinking, Amy?

We were worried sick.

She alright?

Had some idea about

going to see her grandma.

Scared herself more

than she scared us.

Yeah. Amy, love, come here.

Liz: At least she's okay.

She's had enough.

We all have.

She misses her old

life. It's normal.

You think I don't?

Do you know me mum's ill?

I can arrange a secure visit.

And what if she gets worse

suddenly before then?

What am I supposed to do while

you're filling out forms?

When we first met, I offered

you and Jimmy a deal.

Come into witness protection

and I'll keep you all safe.

The trial starts tomorrow.

In two days, Jimmy will testify

and after that you'll be away.

You can start again, new life.

And that awful mess he was

part of will be washed away.

Helen: Will it though?

Be washed away?

You've done so well,

Helen. You all have.

You've just got to

get through it now.

You know what Eddie

Crowther is capable of.

So until the trial's done,

I need to keep you hidden,

to keep you safe.

Jimmy: It'll be alright, love.

As long as we stick together,

it'll be right in the end,

I promise.

[ Engine revs ]

Thought you were

dropping her at mine.

Well, I was, I

mean, I would have.

I was gonna miss my

exam, so I rang Dad,

told him to meet

me here instead.

If you're okay with that?

Yeah, sorry, love, I just

Have you got everything?

- Sheet music.

- She's got it.

Liz: Right, and you

needed rosin for your bow.

Jasmine: I'm fine.

I'll see you next week.

Right, okay.

[ Smooches ] Good luck,

I've got to get

I'll be better, now

I take it you didn't

All worked out in

the end though.

The girl hadn't contacted

anyone from her old life.

Helen's on the verge

of a nervous breakdown,

but just 48 hours to go now.

Kohli says her dad might

be in the witness box

- for three days.

- Liz: I've spoken

to the prosecution team,

told him we'll use a different

handover point each day,

you know, to avoid any

patterns that could be tracked.

Want me to assign more officers?

Liz: No, there's

too much at stake.

Stick to the usual protocol.

Raj and I should

be the only ones

who know the

witnesses' location.

Liz: There we go.

Hey, do you know what?

I think I've left

My sister, Coniston.

We used to go every

Do you ever think

about disappearing?

What, and leave all this behind?

Brandice: Hm.

When I was a kid, my dad took

me fly fishing in Norway.

Spent a whole week

in the wilderness.

Didn't see another soul.

We should go there, together.

Funny 'cause I thought

you should be heading home

Tonight maybe, but

Doctor: You've shown some

improvement since the stroke,

but it's been uneven, which

is why I ordered these scans.

Frankly, I was concerned we'd

find something like this.

But Dad's only 75.

I have dementia patients who

are a lot younger than Sid.

How quickly will it come on?

Doctor: We need more tests,

but what we've seen

so far does suggest

relatively rapid onset.

There must be

something we can do.

I mean, I read about people

You don't know a bloody thing.

Stay out of it.

Sid, I realise

dementia is a word

that no one wants to

hear from their doctor.

- Are there any questions you'd like to ask me?

- [ Knock on door ]

Sorry, I know the appointment

was for half nine,

but my eldest has got flu.

Have I missed anything?

Can't see how a second

opinion would hurt.

It just means more tests,

I need the loo.

- Alright.

- It's just at the end, Dad.

Here we go. Let's get you in.

No, you won't. I can

Wheatley: Ms. Nyles.

I've been talking to your DS,

but he's extremely cagey

about what's going on,

so I'd appreciate it if

you could shed some light.

It's a safe house sheltering,

a protective witness

and his family,

subject to strict

secrecy orders,

which I trust you will respect.

What kind of witnesses

are we talking about?

Brandice?

How is he even here? I

He shouldn't even have known

the location of the house.

There'll be a good

reason, there has to be.

What?

Contact the hospital and

call through to the ICU.

Explain the situation.

Tell them that we are gonna

need a status update ASAP.

Well, we need to

Assuming from a

different weapon.

In addition to the female

victim in the kitchen,

we have two adult males.

Liz: They have a

daughter, a 12-year-old.

Jardine: I'll chase it up, but

presumably she was at school.

Tomasic: First male

victim alive,

but unconscious when police

arrived, carrying an ID,

which names him as Detective

Sergeant Simon Thomas Browning.

Presumably a cover name?

Anything else on

him other than ID?

Tomasic: Two smartphones.

One work, one personal.

The other victim, mid-40s,

already deceased when the

firearm squad entered.

Premises appears to have

been searched, ransacked,

but there's nothing

obviously missing.

This was a professional hit.

So if I'm gonna

make sense of it,

I need you to tell me who

the victims really were,

as much information

as you can give me.

Which at this point is nothing.

Wheatley: Yes, you need to

speak to your DCI first,

- I understand that, but

- Yeah, you're right.

I don't have the authority

to discuss these matters,

but even if I did, I need to

know what happened here first.

- Are you serious?

- Liz: Whether there's a threat

to other protected persons.

So there's an officer dying,

he's one of your team,

but you are gonna

obstruct my investigation?

You said Amy was at school.

Well, that's her bag,

and that's her blazer.

Amy?

Amy?

Amy, it's Liz.

Oh, my god.

Oh, oh, sweetheart.

Are you hurt, are you alright?

- You're alright.

- The firehouse boys

told me the house was secure.

Liz: Get the

paramedics back here.

- They went through the place.

- Just get the paramedics

- back here now.

- Go.

Come on, darling.

I got you.

I got you.

Okay, I got you.

Wheatley: She's a witness

now to two murders.

Yeah, a witness now subject

to a high level of

potential threat

- who's under my protection.

- Mm.

How's that gone so far,

people under your protection?

I will talk to her,

and if she's seen anything

pertinent to your investigation,

I will pass it on.

If you want to challenge

our jurisdiction over her,

you're gonna have to go

to the chief constable.

Yeah, I'll do that.

- She's covering her own arse.

- Wheatley: Inevitably.

But not for long.

from the hospital?

Not yet.

Has she said anything?

Hasn't spoken. Shock.

she's fine physically, but

Amy, I am so, so sorry, love.

Can you tell me what happened?

Did you see who did this?

it would be a great help.

you're gonna be alright.

Raj is gonna take

you to a safe place.

Something must have gone wrong

with our security protocols.

[ Sighs ] But right

now you focus on Amy.

So find a place we

haven't used before

and I want you to stay

with her at all times.

She needs a social worker, Liz.

Liz: Yeah, and

that'll be arranged.

But even when it is,

even if the Royal

Marines are deployed,

I do not want you to let

that child out of your sight,

do you understand?

Yeah.

He's just coming

out of theatre now.

Did he say anything to you

about what he was doing

this morning?

Just that he had an

early start at work,

a meeting with someone.

You didn't hear anything after?

He got up to make

me a coffee, but

I didn't even get up with him.

Who did this to him?

We've got some ideas,

but I can't say for sure.

I am gonna find out, I promise.

Reporter: The Crowther

trial has been adjourned

Although the reasons for that

request were not made public

Sorry, miss, secure area.

Here you go.

Apologies, Inspector.

[ Crowd shouts ]

[ Cameras shutters clicking ]

Bewley: Liz.

Liz.

I need to talk to you.

Three years I built

this case, Liz.

Three years.

Who would Crowther

have used for the hit?

I could give you a

list as long as me arm,

there'd still be names I'd miss.

You heard of Crowther having

bent coppers on the payroll?

Jesus, I'm not PSD, Liz.

Yeah, I know, but you've

had the Crowther brief

for nearly a decade.

We both know you've heard stuff.

Stuff you can't pursue,

let alone prosecute.

Rumours.

Liz: That's what I'm asking for.

See, a guy like Crowther,

be a miracle if he's not

managed to twist a few cops.

I haven't heard any specifics.

What the hell did

you say to MIT?

- If you mean Wheatley

- I've had her on the phone,

shouting about

obstructive behaviour.

Liz: I just stated policy.

We can't open a file

on a protected person

without considering the

wider security issues.

But there is such a thing as

interdepartmental politics,

and we may need the

investigative team on site.

What have you found

here? Data breaches,

inappropriate file access?

Tell the Detective

Inspector what you told me.

Go on, Sue. He's your partner.

Early this morning, DS

Brandice was with me.

We were running through

the court schedule

of one of our witnesses

when he got a phone call,

said he needed to go, something

to do with one of his kids.

Anyway, he seemed rattled.

A call from the McLennans?

Or Crowther ordering

him over there.

Sue: They're outside.

Arun: Put them in

the conference room.

We'll be through in a minute.

Liz, is there any chance

you slipped up here?

I follow protocols always.

Clear eyed and strong.

Yeah?

Alright?

They're waiting.

Then let's go and

face the music.

Come on.

Thanks.

DCI Kapoor, DI Nyles, you

already know these two.

And this is DCI Amanda Kelman,

Professional Standards.

So Arun, this business

at the safe house.

We all want it

cleared up quickly.

But if Hannah's gonna do that,

she's gonna need you

to open your files.

We're trying to protect

the people under our care.

Kelman: Will DI Nyles even

be staying on this case,

given she had responsibility

for the safe house?

DI Nyles has my full confidence.

She knows the case,

she knows the child,

and she's the best

officer I have.

Sir, if one of the

people k*lled today

was the Crowther witness, as

has been suggested in the media,

then I need to know it.

- You need facts, not rumours.

- Wheatley: Yeah.

With regards to the girl,

there's an easy compromise.

Arun, you open

your files to MIT,

but the girl stays in

your protective custody.

- Will that work for you, Hannah?

- As long as Arun

can guarantee me

access to the witness,

- then that's

- Liz: The witness

is a deeply traumatised

12-year-old.

So we make her available

for questioning

by Hannah's team when

she's settled down,

say first thing in the morning.

Agreed.

Okay, so those files, please.

Thank you.

Jardine: Notwithstanding

the Detective Chief

Inspector's confidence,

we will also want to

interview DI Nyles

and her partner, DS Kohli,

as part of our

homicide investigation.

Obviously we're running

a security review,

checking all digital and

hard copy file access to

to ascertain

whether there's been

an internal security breach.

Don't protection

officers work in pairs?

Arun: As a rule.

And your partner is DS Kohli?

But the officer that was

shot at the safe house

Detective Sergeant

Simon Browning.

Wheatley: Real name

DS Paul Brandice.

Whatever his name, there's no

mention of a third officer.

The officer in question

was not working that case.

Wheatley: You mean he had no

legitimate operational reason

for being at the safe house?

Arun: None that I'm

currently aware of.

When were you

planning on sharing

- that little bombshell, Arun?

- As I said, we're in the process

of ascertaining

why he was there.

- What have you found?

- He came to work early,

met with his partner,

and then left suddenly

after receiving a phone call.

We assume then he travelled

to the safe house.

I'm told there was

g*nsh*t residue

on the Detective

Sergeant's hand,

suggesting he fired a weapon.

Are witness protection

officers in the habit

of carrying firearms?

Well, we'll be seeking a

warrant to retrieve core records

and positioning data from the

two phones found with him.

Might be helpful for all of us

to know what DS

Brandice had been up to

over the past few days.
