[suspenseful music]
- [John] Another lead gone cold.
- Yeah but somehow I feel like we're getting closer.
- Me too mate, it's been lovely.
- I meant closer to cracking it.
- Yes totally.
- [Roy] And then there's DI's Gilbert and Ryle.
- D'you know what, I think those two are involved.
In my shooting, Operation Bluefinch everything.
- What makes you think that?
Is it because I've just put that picture up
of the two of them?
- To be honest it is mainly yeah.
- No think about it!
- We find the Jeep and they turn up,
we find Kristof dead
and they pop up before we've even called it in.
- Yeah and they try and blame it on us.
I say we take this to Dennett, walk in there,
lay our balls on the table.
- Look, for on thing the phrase is cards on the table
and for another, Dennett's told us to drop this.
Now we still don't know who we can trust.
- Okay then, you really should be keeping this door locked.
- Parfit, how did you find us?
- You guys need to realise I know everything about Major.
I know where he goes, what he does--
- Have you put some kind of tracking microchip in me head?
- A microchip, no.
- No you're paranoid mate.
- It's more of a nano-transmitter.
Who still says microchip?
I've got your location, your heart rate, metabolism.
- This is bullshit!
I've definitely hit 10,000 steps today.
- That's unethical.
- So is pursuing a secret murder case,
so if you'd like me to keep quiet
perhaps you would like to do some official work now?
Let's go.
- [John] Lay your balls on the table
is a snooker expression.
- [Roy] It's not one I've ever heard mate.
[dramatic music]
- Personal protection detail, who we body guarding?
- Former Police Commissioner Chalmers
has had a number of recent death threats.
- She's head of the AI Ethics Committee.
She decides whether or not Major gets switched off.
- Exactly why she requested you both.
To watch you in action.
- Genius, she'll see I'm shit hot and I'll be safe.
- She'll see how shit you are and pull the plug.
- Well I've updated his software so he shouldn't be shit--
- Look with all due respect,
your software updates are part of the problem.
- Well this is all very reassuring I must say.
- Ooh! - Shit!
- Oh I see, you thought this was a picture?
- Should have said.
- Let's hope you demonstrate better observation
in the field DI Carter.
- Yes ma'am, sorry ma'am.
DI Major's actually really very good at his job.
- We won't detain you any longer ma'am.
- Was she always that arsey when you worked with her?
- [Helen] You only turned the picture off,
I can still hear you.
- You're a pompous arsehole ma'am.
No, she's gone, right,
itineraries in the file boys, get to work.
- Guv.
- Oh and Carver?
Your transfer's come through, Edinburgh division.
You requested a transfer shortly after John came back?
- I assumed it had been rejected boss.
- Nope, we'll be sorry to lose you Roy
but I understand your reasons.
- I feel the time's come to seek new challenges.
- Hmm, I assumed it was because
you were sleeping with Major's wife.
- Aye?
- It's just something I noticed
when I was going through your emails.
- What?
- Must be difficult for you, Major dies,
you shack up with Kelly, Major comes back.
You're in a bloody weird situation.
- I am.
- How did John take the news?
- About Kelly?
- Oh God, no, no, nobody's gonna mention that.
We're a tactful bunch aren't we Dr Parfit?
- I actually, didn't know about it.
- Really, where have you been hiding?
No I meant how did John take the news about your transfer?
- I haven't exactly mentioned it.
- Well no problem, I'll tell him for you.
- No, you're alright ma'am.
I'll take care of it, thanks boss, thanks.
- What the hell were you thinking?
- We were both grieving,
we turned to each other for comfort.
- Oh not the wife thing, Edinburgh!
You know you can't go right
because if the AI project gets pulled--
- The AI Project has got a name.
- Oh yeah, I forgot, we're talking about your best buddy.
That's the guy you're abandoning,
that is the guy who will be switched off
without you to help him out.
- I didn't know that when I applied.
- Okay well now you do know so go back
and tell Dennett that you are staying.
- Like you give a shit about John.
You only want him to feed your ego
so you can use him for your TED Talk.
- Well at least I care about it, him.
- Let's see how this bodyguard thing works out
and you know if he impresses Chalmers
then then he'll be safe.
- And if he screws up with her?
- Well then we can't save him either way.
[sad music]
- And it's not a TED Talk, it is a series of podcasts!
[door banging]
- Oh!
- Target's secure, commencing security sweep.
- You certainly know how to sweep a girl off her feet.
- Morning ma'am, I'm DI Carver,
we've been sent to escort you to your meeting.
Excuse me ma'am.
John, John, tone it down a bit.
- I'm just doing my job.
- What are you talking into your sleeve for?
- I dunno.
- Stop it!
- Sorry.
- Can you think of anyone
who may have a grudge against you ma'am?
- Shit.
- I was a Police Officer for three decades.
The jails are full of miscreants with grudges against me.
- You banged up some nasty characters
when I was on your team ma'am.
- So did you.
We banged away hard into the night didn't we John?
- And what about the officers that served under ya,
any grievances there?
- Ooh, I dunno.
Were you satisfied John, when you were under me?
- Thoroughly satisfied ma'am.
- May I take a look at the threatening emails ma'am?
- [Helen] Oh be my guest.
- You'll get what's coming to ya, you evil snake.
- Well that's a bit harsh Roy, she's only doing her job.
- I was reading an email.
- Right you are.
- You should definitely take
some sensible precautions ma'am.
- To be fair, that one's not a threat,
it's just good advice.
- Yeah, that was me talking that time.
- Got you.
- Vengeance is mine, I will destroy you.
- Jesus Roy!
Oh, now I get it, do you now what would be helpful?
When you're reading out a threat,
do it in like a bad guy voice, like,
you think you're shit don't stink Chalmers,
well let me tell you, it does.
It stinks as bad as your guts is gonna stink
when I tears you to bits
and smears you all over a pelican crossing.
- Well I see you've lost none of your passion John.
I feel safer already.
- What was that?
- [John] Ray Winstone.
- [Roy] Excuse me ma'am, let me get the door for you.
- [Helen] Thank you.
[upbeat music]
- [John] Go!
- [Roy] Will you pack it in?
[upbeat music]
- Look John, listen mate, I need to tell you something.
- You're leaving the unit.
You applied for the transfer just after I came back.
- I should have told you meself.
- Yeah you should but it's okay,
I get it, I know why you wanna leave.
[tense music]
I'm not blind mate.
'Cause I'm overshadowing you.
- What?
- We've always been equals.
And now, here I am, back from the dead,
new and improved, getting all the glory.
I'd feel the same if you were the supercop
and I was the inadequate, feeble, ordinary one.
- Yeah that's it mate, yeah you got it in one.
- Well that's no reason to leave me Roy.
- Sorry to interrupt gentlemen,
you just drove past my meeting two minutes ago.
- Didn't want to worry you ma'am but we've got company.
[tense music]
- Blue Renault, Hotel, November, what do you use for six?
- Just six.
- Six.
- That's my secretary, he doesn't know where to go,
so he's following us.
- Any chance he's carrying a grudge?
- He's carrying my lunch, I know that much.
- Don't you worry ma'am, I'll shake him off.
- No I don't want you to shake him off.
- Your safety is my paramount concern.
Now, lets see how fast this puppy can go.
- Oh, Jesus!
- [John] Hold on to your pants ma'am.
- [Helen] Oh fuck!
- In your face, yee-ha!
Think I lost your secretary!
- You've definitely lot us.
Sorry you missed your meeting ma'am.
- Oh who cares about meetings,
I much prefer riding around with you John.
- DI Major's normally very professional ma'am.
- Yeah, let's acknowledge the elephant in the car shall we?
I'm the Chair of the Committee deciding on your future,
let me assure you there is no cause for concern.
- You're not switching me off?
- I've been fighting your corner hard John.
You'd have to do something pretty spectacularly awful
to be decommissioned now.
- Like what?
- Let's not give him any suggestions shall we ma'am?
That's great news that mate.
- Yeah, now you can abandon me with a clear conscience.
- Don't be like that,
this is the goal we've been working towards.
- One of the goals, we still don't know who shot me.
- We're making progress.
- I still can't stop thinking about Kelly
seeing that other man.
- While you were dead and it's over, she told ya.
Kelly and that other fella were just two damaged people
clinging to each other in the wreckage of their lives.
- She never said that.
- I'm paraphrasing.
- Talk to her for me, find out how she feels about me.
- What, you talk to her!
- She won't be honest with me, in case it hurts me feelings.
I mean with you, feelings aren't a problem.
- Fucking hell.
- Kelly's got a soft spot for you Roy, please.
One last favour before you leave me.
- Fine, alright, whatever.
- Good lad.
Where to next ma'am?
- I don't know John, surprise me.
- [gasps] Who fancies Chessington World of Adventures?
[upbeat music]
- Where the hell have you been?
You guys took a 40-mile detour on a three-mile journey.
- Don't worry about it.
- Don't worry?
- Oh he's right.
It's weird as fuck but Chalmers seems really into him.
- What do you mean into him?
- I don't want to think about the details.
- Oh, ew.
- Ah, DI Major, your wife's here for you.
- Not for me boss, for Roy.
- Oh, I see, so that's all out in the open now is it?
- No boss, no.
- Is it one of those polyamory things
'cause I once saw a Louis Theroux documentary.
- No, no, it's just a friendly chat, that's all.
- Very mature of you all, hmm.
- What's polyamory?
- Don't know.
- Well look it up on your phone.
- No, I best go and see Kelly.
- Judy?
- No, I'm just not--
- Any chance you could arrange a card
and a whip round for DI Carver?
- Yeah course but I have to--
- Afternoon Robocop.
Heard you're working for Chalmers now as a, what's the word?
- Personal Protection Officer.
- Sat nav, that's it.
- 'Cause you're a computer.
- Can I just--
- Not now Judy.
What have you got on the murder?
Kristof, the body in the flat.
- You mean the body covered in your fingerprints, that body?
- We might wanna talk to you DI Major.
Don't go far from your desk.
- In 20 yards the destination is on your left.
- Just like a sat nav would say.
- Dicks.
- We're not really pinning that murder on Major are we?
- Why not?
- Well 'cause we know he didn't do it.
- But there's no harm in making him feel nervous
for a while is there?
Anything that diverts suspicion away from us.
- Yeah, s'pose.
- Yeah?
- Every day, you come in here and you ask me to do things,
Judy do this, Judy do that, and every time you do it,
I tell you my name's not fucking Judy
and it doesn't make the slightest bit of difference.
You'll come back in the following day
and you do exactly the same thing.
[tense music]
I mean I know it's not the most important thing in the world
but I have got a name and it's not Judy.
- Fuck me, it all makes sense.
- Finally!
- See ya later Judy.
Roy!
- I'm gonna kill him.
- So we've done a really good job
of staying away from each other haven't we?
- Yeah John insisted, what could I say?
- I've missed you more than I, more than I thought I would.
Have you?
- Not really.
- Oh, okay.
- I always knew how much I'd miss ya.
- I'm sorry it's been so messy.
You know I made a vow to John 'til death do us part,
which it then did but only temporarily.
- I'm moving to Scotland Kel.
- You what?
- I think it's better, you know, we all have a fresh start.
- [Kelly] What about John?
- I'm not taking John.
- He's your partner.
- John'll be fine, Chalmers told us--
- No he, no, no, he won't, he won't be,
he won't be fine, he'll, he'll be lost.
- Look this isn't about John for once.
Yeah I care about him but, you know I'm leaving for me.
'Cause I can't bear to watch him with ya,
the time we spent together,
it was the best six months of my life.
- Why didn't you say you felt so strongly?
- Maybe I was about to before your husband
came back from the dead.
- What are we gonna do Roy?
- I've told ya, I'm leaving Kel.
- Are you?
[romantic music]
- Roy.
- Aye?
- Roy, I can lip read!
- Look, shit, what me and Kelly
were saying that was-- - No, that there that was--
- We didn't mean--
- No, not you, Gilbert and Ryle.
- What?
- Well it must be an AI thing.
I can watch people and tell what they're saying.
You were right, they basically admitted being bent.
I mean what a day!
I mean first Chalmers tells me that I'm safe,
then the lip reading thing,
all I need now is for you to tell me
you're not going to Scotland!
- I'm not going to Scotland.
- Yes, oh mate.
- Look John, I can't be your partner anymore.
- I don't understand.
- Move it boys, you're needed!
Commissioner Chalmers has received a new
and credible threat, get over there, now!
[tense music]
- [Roy] The hour of reckoning is nigh.
- Don't leave me Roy.
- There's something about the way this is written, what?
- I can't do this without you.
- You can, you're a supercop remember?
I'm the ordinary one.
- Ah, my bodyguard,
just what a woman wants in a tight corner.
- I'm shit without you around.
- We'll talk about this later.
- Oh let's face it, I'm shit with you around.
- Sorry am I interrupting something?
- No ma'am.
- I was saying how crap I am ma'am.
- No he wasn't ma'am.
- Since I got back, I've screwed up everything.
- He's joking ma'am.
- I took illegal drugs,
I dropped DI Carver - Take no notice.
off a car park, - He doesn't know
and that was my first day. - what he's saying.
- I've misappropriated police resources,
pursued unofficial cases,
I went to the morgue and sawed a foot off a corpse.
I mean how fucked up is that?
- Well, I had no idea about any of this.
- And do you know why not?
It's because Roy has stepped in to save me every time.
- Not every time.
[tense music]
Ready when you are ma'am.
Stay between us if you would ma'am.
The car's just up here on your left.
- I was only trying to show how much you mean to me Roy.
- Yeah well you shouldn't of.
- Well don't be like that.
- Focus on the present threat.
- There is no threat.
Killers don't say the hour of reckoning is nigh.
The guy sounds more like a--
- What?
- This rampant scientism will invite a heavy reckoning.
- The hour of reckoning is nigh.
Can you think of anyone who may have any grudges against ya?
- AI Ethics committee.
- I've been fighting your corner hard John.
- What?
Get down!
[Helen screams]
- It's okay ma'am, stay down, stay down.
- What you doing?
- Sorry, cover Chalmers, go!
- You okay ma'am? - Fuck a duck!
[tense music]
- Father!
It's alright ma'am, DI Major will get him.
- Yeah, unless DI Major's one of the targets.
[upbeat music]
- Police, drop the weapon, you're under arrest!
- DI Major or should that be AI Major?
- Drop the weapon.
- I missed my shot at Chalmers
but the good Lord has delivered me an even worthier target.
- Aren't you forgetting something?
Genesis, chapter 10 verse eight.
- Cush became the father of Nimrod?
- I don't know mate, I'm just stalling for time.
Thanks Roy, I guess I was wrong,
maybe you are a supercop after all.
- Yeah that's great mate, give us a hand will ya?
Give us your cuffs.
- Others will arise in my place!
You have not heard the last of me.
[gun thumping]
- I thought he'd never shut up.
- [Radio] What's your status, over?
- [Police Officer] Come on then.
- My hero, my saviour, my Major.
- Not a bad team are we ma'am?
Shame we won't be partners for much longer.
- Well that mightn't be the case.
- We're staying together?
- We can't split up now can we?
Not while people are trying to kill ya.
- Yes, that's not why you changed your mind.
Because of Kelly.
- What?
- Well she said something to convince you didn't she?
I knew she would, that's why I asked you to talk to her.
- I thought it was because you were worried
about the other fella.
- No, I'm not worried about 'im.
She's got me back now ain't she?
Poor bastard don't stand a chance does he?
[upbeat music]
Murder, oh, maybe even double murder, touch wood.
- No, don't touch anything.
[group laughing]
- He stopped the Head of the Committee from getting shot.
How can they switch him off?
- That'd make me a damn fool.
Have you got any evidence for this?
- That time you arrested a horse?
- You can't just nip home for a potato.
- This is a nice potato.
