![]() These two came up last week, and swiftly became the two top new suspects for “the fourth man”. We’re back to the names of Marcus Thurwell and Pip Osborne again. Thanks to Jo’s tip off about the print shop, forensics have discovered Gail Vella’s stolen computer, which contains all her investigations linking the police officers in charge of both the suppression of the Sands View abuse scandal and the Lawrence Christopher murder. Poor old Buckells is probably still lying in the foetal position in his jail cell after watching Jimmy Lakewell getting slaughtered in front of him. “I manipulated him into it,” she says, “it wasn’t hard”. Planting the burner phones on Farida Jatri throwing the raid on Carl Banks’ flat putting through the wrong paperwork for surveillance and, as suspected, setting up Buckells to take the flak for the mismanagement of the Gail Vella case. ![]() However one man (or woman) was still at large as “the fourth man”.Įvidence of perverting the course of justice (“a mountain’s worth” according to Hastings) is presented, and things don’t look good for Jo. Jo confirms AC-12’s suspicions that Tommy had threatened to reveal the OCG-linked corrupt policeman, which is what led to his murder, and she added that the OCG had splintered off into smaller groups. This is news to Jo, though, and it totally shakes her – it’s hard not to feel sorry for her as the true extent of her actions in part of the OCG are revealed to stem from an incestous, abusive family that she was born into that her “uncle” Tommy has been controlling her and grooming her in her career in the police force and that her mother died by suicide when she found out he had tracked down the 16-year-old Jo. That is, until the big reveal that most of us had guessed last week – Tommy Hunter was not only her uncle, but also her dad, as he raped her mum, aged 15. But despite all the questioning from Carmichael, a muzzled Hastings, and Arnott, all she bleats out is “no comment” to pretty much all lines of enquiry. Not our Steve, Kate, keep the faith! “We’re being framed,” she surmises correctly, and Steve steps into the potential line of fire to take both Kate and Jo into custody for their own safety, giving Kate just enough time to fill him in on who Ryan’s killed, and the link with the copy shop.īEEEP! It’s on to the long-awaited interview scene with DCI Joanne Davidson, looking very lockdown chic in her prison regulation grey sweatshirt. The cops inevitably catch up with our two fleeing suspects and Kate is devastated, as it appears Steve has ratted her out. With no canyons nearby for them to sail off in their Ford Thunderbird Steve’s car, we’re stuck with a quick spin around the streets of Belfast instead. But there’s no time to elaborate, as armed police turn up, causing Kate and Jo to flee in a high-speed car chase. Importantly, it’s also opposite Terry Boyle’s flat, hence why he’s often been caught up in the gang’s dirty work. Taking Kate on an ill-fated nighttime tour of the city, Jo brings her to the print shop, used as a front by the OCG for their criminal activities in series five. Kate suggests that Jo could get witness protection if she talked, at which Jo quite rightly scoffs, almost prophetically: “No matter who it is, how powerful, when they turn they get killed.” She’s not wrong. ![]() Interestingly, she also reveals that her dad was also a bent copper, but that’s all the information we’re getting from Jo at this point. In an effort to prove that she’s not bent, Jo begrudgingly proffers up a few life details that her mum was Tommy’s sister, making him her uncle – and a lot more, as we learn later – and that he’s been controlling her for a long time. By the time AC-12 turn up to the murder scene and issue both their arrests, Kate’s whisked Jo off to Steve Arnott’s flat, where she handily keeps spare keys to his sports car. After last week’s cliffhanger, it turns out our heroine, Kate Fleming, was left thankfully unscathed after the stand-off with chief little shit, Ryan Pilkington, and Ryan’s the one who ended up with two bullet holes to the chest and is now taking up space in the city morgue.ĭespite offing one of TV’s most loathed villains – shout out to the actor Gregory Piper for making the character truly obnoxious for a whole decade – things don’t look good for Kate or Jo Davidson, and they decide to go full Thelma & Louise. Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the wee donkey (Ted’s best statement of shock so far, IMO): what an episode of revelations. ![]()
