Hannah: These were found

hidden in DS Brandice's car.

Liz: Wheatley's investigation

is premised on the idea

that Crowther that had

Brandice in his pocket.

I'm not so sure.

Soran Ahmadi,

the only other witness

in the Crowther trial.

Mum, someone's out the back.

Liz: There was another

man at your house.

Do you think you

might have seen him?

- [ g*n fires ]

- No.

Hannah: DS Brandice had surgery

and they're keeping him

under. It's touch and go.

Liz: Do you think you

could unlock this?

- Whose phone is it?

- Liz: Brandice's.

Raj: And why the hell haven't

you given it to Wheatley?

This better be worth it, Liz.

[ Bike revving ]

Liz: Someone on that

list just served up

a 12-year-old girl

to Eddie Crowther.

Kelman: Right now everyone

is under suspicion.

Liz: No-one can find any links

between Crowther and Brandice.

Raj Kohli, I'm arresting you

on suspicion of

conspiracy to m*rder.

Someone wants her dead,

yet she says she

didn't see anything.

Those two things

don't make sense.

You know I didn't

do this, right?

I'm gonna get this

sorted, Raj, trust me.

I can speak to you then.

Okay.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

How can I help?

I wanted to talk to you

about DS Kohli, ma'am.

You know I can't share details

of an active investigation.

Well, of course, but there's

been a terrible mistake.

I've worked with

Kohli for three years.

- I can't believe he's bent.

- Mm.

So, listen

several of my colleagues

think the matter of

the leak is resolved.

It's either Raj

Kohli acting alone

or Kohli in collaboration

with Brandice.

All we need to do is

link them to Crowther,

and it's case closed.

I'm not so sure.

Well, I'm glad to hear it.

My own feeling is that

someone planted this message

to set Raj up.

The key question in all this is,

who is the common denominator?

Well, if you ask me

I think it's you.

Sorry?

You were privy to the

location of the safe house

and to the location of the

Amy McLennan interview.

You found DS Brandice's car,

and you're Raj Kohli's partner,

so he's likely to

have trusted you.

Are you making an

allegation against me?

Not yet.

But my gut tells me you

are hiding something, Liz.

Whatever it is, I'll find out.

Okay, bye.

What's going on?

You might wanna ask

DCI Kelman that.

Over here please, Nyles.

DCI Kapoor's

decided to step down

as head of the Protected Persons

Unit, effective immediately.

What?

Is he all right?

Taking early retirement.

As Kapoor's deputy,

the expectation is

that you'll step in

as acting head of the unit

until a permanent replacement

can be appointed.

Can I ask who this came from?

Command.

Ma'am, I'm already

over-committed.

Are you declining the promotion?

No, ma'am, but

Good.

I've let the unit know that

we'll be addressing them

at 10:00 a.m.

[ Tense music ]

Oh, and congratulations,

Acting DCI Nyles.

[ Tense music ]

♪♪

Arun, what the hell?

Excuse me.

Given the various ba*ls at play,

it was suggested that

the unit might benefit

from a change of direction.

- [ Liz sighs ]

- Strongly suggested.

I'm sorry.

Truthfully, it's

a bit of a relief.

Kelman has just asked me to

step up temporarily, but

You know they're

setting you up to fail.

Right now, this unit,

it's a poisoned chalice.

Well, not if I can prove

who's really behind this.

Detective: Are you ready?

Good luck with that,

Acting DCI Nyles.

You're gonna need it.

I know DCI Kapoor's

departure comes as a surprise

to all of us, and

you'll have questions

about DS Kohli and DS

Brandice, amongst other things.

There's a rumour the

unit's being shut down.

Can you at least confirm

whether that's true?

I can't preempt decisions

that have been made

by Senior Command,

but what I can say is we've

still got protected witnesses

that require management so I

think we should focus on them.

But if there's another leak,

aren't they all still in danger?

While the enquiry into

this unit will continue,

the immediate security threat

is thought to be resolved.

So from a resource

allocation point of view,

moving every single witness

is not regarded as a high

priority at this time.

I need to protect the

integrity of this unit.

So we can't be complacent.

Amanda: You did well.

Liz: Morale's on the floor.

That's what happens

when police officers

betray their colleagues.

I understand that the case

against DS Kohli looks strong,

but I have serious doubts.

And if he isn't the leak,

then the immediate security

threat is far from resolved.

I'd be happy to undertake

a personal review

of the evidence against him.

Of course, I can't

make any promises.

Thank you, ma'am.

Not unless Crowther

secretly went to Eton

looks pristine.

against Crowther,

you'll be forced out of the

I worked for Crowther

because he promised to

get my family to the UK.

But he lied. My children

are still there.

That's why I agreed to do this.

You made the right decision.

Soran: Really?

I still hope to see my family.

If Crowther kills me, how

is that going to happen?

Liz: So you helped him

import heroin into the UK?

Soran: Eddie wanted access

to cheap heroin in Turkey.

So he came to me to

help organise it.

Local knowledge.

And McLennan laundered

the earnings.

Soran: It's all in my statement.

Liz: Who managed it for

he was shot downstairs

you again, do you understand?

I heard you got bumped

up, head of the unit.

Raj

Brandice is dead.

sh*t.

I think he was k*lled,

m*rder*d at the hospital.

It was stupid, but I really

thought he'd confess.

Name whoever really did this,

and I'll be out, but now

Liz: I'm making headway.

Whoever orchestrated

the hit on McLennan

expected Brandice to be

left holding the bag.

But this second leak

on Amy's location,

that couldn't have been him.

So they needed

someone else to set up

to take the fall for that.

How are we gonna prove

any of this, Liz?

It's been 36 hours.

Wheatley's gonna charge

me soon, she's got to.

No, no, she's got one piece

of evidence against you.

So her team will be trying to

find something to corroborate

before they make the next move.

They'll drag this out as long

as they can, I'm sure of that.

If I could just give

Wheatley something

to prove that I'm cooperating.

She's after that

burner phone, Liz.

You give her that and

she'll still charge you.

The only difference is we'll

both be in here together,

and that means I am

not out there working

to try and clear your name.

Please, Raj, just give

me some more time.

I'll give you 24 hours.

But after that I'm telling

them about that phone.

Preliminary finding's

heart failure,

which is probably a consequence

of the g*nsh*t wounds.

And what about the

missing police guard?

Rick: Yeah, you were

right about that.

He stepped away from his post.

His relief was

delayed. Car troubles.

Could that have

been orchestrated?

Rick: Well, we're

looking into that.

Oh, it stinks, the

whole thing stinks.

Rick: Yeah, it does.

Look, I'm gonna have

to take a step back

from what we've been

doing for a while.

What? No.

I've been transferred over

to Wheatley's task force.

She shut you down.

Well, either way, I've

got to play by her rules

till I find my feet.

I get it.

And, Rick thank you.

You with the police

investigation?

Yeah, DI Nyles. Thank

you for making time.

Not at all.

One of Detective Chief

Inspector Wheatley's people

was already down here, said

you lot would be in again.

You're interested in security

footage starting at 9:24 p.m.?

Give or take.

[ Keys clacking ]

There you go.

Oh, it's forward

here, rewind here.

The ICU ward itself

doesn't have a camera,

but the entry camera should

give you a pretty good view.

No, this can't be right.

I saw a nurse coming out

of this door just before me

a few minutes before

the crash team,

but there's no sign of

him in this recording.

Security Officer:

That's strange.

Apart from yourself, who

has access to this suite?

The last 24 hours,

DCI Wheatley's team's

been pretty tight on security,

no-one else has been in.

Well, apart from Detective

Sergeant Jardine, of course.

Jardine?

Security Officer:

Yeah, the bearded guy

on Wheatley's team.

Came in earlier to review

CCTV like yourself.

I mean, I actually

left him to it,

but pretty sure he'd have

seen something dodgy.

Kelman: Hi. This

is Amanda Kelman.

Please leave a message.

Right, ma'am, I need to

speak to you urgently

about the death of DS Brandice.

And this is an unusual request,

but what I have to tell you

needs to be for your ears only.

If you could call me back as

soon as you get this message.

Thanks.
