line of duty season 5 episode 2 recap

Superintendent Ted Hastings asks DS Steve Arnott and DC Kate Fleming to investigate Denton, but Fleming asks not to take part. To Corbett, bent coppers are worthless “vermin” and their lives can be taken without compunction. Corbett’s obsession with police probity puts him beyond even Ted Hastings on the continuum of positions to take on wrong’uns. She has written about TV, film and books for Den of Geek since 2010, and for…, spoiler-filled episode two explainer here, Jed Mercurio on Line Of Duty series 5: ‘Familiarity will be our undoing’, Line Of Duty: creator Jed Mercurio interview. Apart from a couple of brief updates on Fleming’s and Arnott’s private lives, and some relevant body parts being found, episode five truly homes in on Ted Hastings, as everyone around him does too. Usually my head doesn’t start to spin until about episode four, but the Line of Duty creator is obviously feeling particularly malevolent this series. Who’ll live? I think his time in self-imposed isolation from friends and family is making him a little stir-crazy, though. John wasn’t the only one communicating on instant messenger in episode two. • Hurrah! Latest: Stranger (Secret Forest) season 2, episode 11 recap and breakdown Whipped review – unfunny, boring and not worth the discourse Baby season 3 review – a natural farewell to Netflix’s … In the time it takes other crime shows to hint that their drinky lead detective has a tragic past, Line Of Duty has fitted in four murders, two hijacks, the death of a beloved regular, two major twists, an armed police raid and an ongoing conspiracy that threatens to unseat all that is good and fair in the world. ), so Corbett had been moved away from Cameron’s management. If Hastings is right about being framed, that demonstrates him to be inept at his job: a sharp anti-corruption officer would have seen it happening. There was more mischief in that direction this episode. Who’s right? Sign in to manage your newsletter preferences. Prasad kills Cole for reasons unknown before she manages to escape from her kidnappers. Stephen Graham is a great actor, but he usually has much more nuanced roles than Corbett, who was little but macho angst and an accent. AC-12 find themselves forced to decide where their loyalties lie between Denton and Dryden. "[6], Keeley Hawes received a Leading Actress nomination for her role as D.I. The fourth series of Line of Duty, consisting of six episodes, began broadcasting on 26 March 2017 on BBC One.The series follows Superintendent Ted Hastings (Adrian Dunbar), D.S. However, when presented with AC-12's evidence, Dryden still strongly maintains he is being set up. Float downstream on your back and await rescue. Suspicious. Ted speaking aloud the title of the show when he said “she died in the line of duty” should have been as cheesy as hell but it wasn’t. Not in person, mind – he or she is too smart for that – but through the medium of instant messenger, appearing on a laptop screen in conversation with Stephen Graham’s John Corbett. When this is all over, look out for Kate’s tell-all memoir, Life Undercover: A Bit Tricky. Arnott visits Denton in prison and says, "I believe you.". And they find out plenty: John Corbett’s objective in going undercover was to investigate corrupt police officers at senior levels, which AC12 had been doing too, as a by-product of their specific cases. DI Matthew "Dot" Cottan believes that the mole who betrayed the escort was in fact Jayne Akers, the liaison officer. I don’t know if his confidence has gone down in recent years, but his lack of social obligations seems to tell him he is the one with the least to lose, and he takes the steps Bindra described to make contact with Corbett’s gang… without telling anyone. The way she described her during the interview was as a stranger. Arnott is knocked unconscious, Trotman is thrown out of a window to her death and the witness is killed. The second series of Line of Duty – consisting of six episodes – premiered on 12 February 2014 on BBC Two. Hastings is heartbroken to discover his wife is serious about divorce; I wonder who she’s been seeing on the side? This isn’t a horror movie. We get new characters, and those sharply written interviews are back. Denton is interviewed by AC-12 and claims that she called the hospital to ask that the witness exonerate her, but the team do not believe her and Hastings arrests her for conspiracy. Which leaves some major players – some deceased, some very much active within the force. Spoilers ahead…. A recording of Dryden publicly criticising the immunity Hunter and others like him receive suggest he is the corrupt officer in question, and AC-12 begin seeking the identity of 'The Caddy'. There are so many significant looks from him that it does feel like a heavy-handed attempt to get the audience to suspect he is the mysterious H. Personally, I’m not convinced: I think it’s more likely that we’ll find out he’s looking nervous a lot of the time because the web of corruption goes way beyond him, not points to him; and that there is so much he doesn’t know. Don’t read on unless you have watched episode two. So is Corbett simply a charismatic bully? I think it’s more likely, however, that Ted is off his game because of the impending divorce, because he is under pressure at work and about to make a very stupid decision regarding his finances (there’s no way that that former cop is legit). Chief Superintendent Carmichael (Anna Maxwell Martin) is tonight’s new character; and as fans guessed when her arrival was announced last week, she’s there to investigate our mate Ted Hastings. If anything, I think he’ll be found to be an unwitting pawn, and possibly that H is unrelated to anyone’s surname. You can check out our thoughts on the previous episode by clicking these words. On the other hand, we do get to see Lisa McQueen being her natural, uncertain self for a change; and our usual AC-12 gang behaving a little like sheep without a shepherd. They can do as much close-up magic to make us think Hastings was the bent officer who recruited Cafferty, and cut in as many shots of him looking like a baddie through partially frosted glass as they like, but the Ted-Faithful remain unwavering. (‘God, give me strength. Or is he telling the truth and desperate for a fellow officer in whom to confide? © 2020 Guardian News & Media Limited or its affiliated companies. Episode two also managed to fit in time to – unforgivably – break Ted’s heart. She hasn’t been involved in any investigations about H, so this really does look like jumping the gun, backing up what Hastings said earlier about her ambitious approach. In the background, Hastings was looking shifty. Episode one may have introduced the balaclava boss as a chilling figure – an undercover cop lured in by organised crime – but its follow-up sowed seeds of doubt in our minds. Lisa tells him “he’s ready to talk to you.” Not talking in the traditional sense, mind you, but messages on a computer screen from the unknown boss (but like what we’ve seen in Hastings’ computer, though I think that’s a red herring) which Corbett responds to verbally, disclosing that his next plan is to raid the police warehouse full of evidence and weapons, not just a van. A good chunk of time has passed since Steve was thrown down a stairwell by a balaclava man, but he’s still suffering the effects.
