It’s not just new drug boss Lee causing tensions to rise on the streets of Belfast, as more tangled twosomes get steamy on patrol and Stevie deals with a heartwrenching case
The series reached its midway mark with simmering tension and surprise tragedy. Here’s your sit-rep on the third episode, titled Love Knows …After the frighteningly efficient hit on the loyalist crime lord Jim Dixon, it was action stations. Extra manpower was deployed in case of reprisals on the Mount Eden estate. Dixie’s arch-rival Davy Hamill was questioned after issuing death threats to Dixie but as his slick lawyer pointed out, the detectives had nothing.
The ambitious publican Lee Thompson persuaded the Dublin mob to let him take over Belfast’s entire drug supply. He’s not affiliated to either warring gang but would be more discreet, using his taxi firm to shift product. The Dubliners loaned him a holdall full of banknotes to set up his network. No going back now.Having less joy was David “Jonty” Johnston , brought back for his local knowhow.
His day didn’t improve at work. DS Murray Canning was on the warpath, badly lacking leads and “the guy I’m relying on is sweating buckets, stinking of drink”. If Shane doesn’t deliver, Canning will deny his transfer to the taskforce. Manning a roadblock, Shane showed his true colours by victimising Rab Thompson for his past imprisonment and humiliating him in front of 12-year-old Henry . Annie said he wasn’t just inflaming the situation but enjoying it. Shane snapped: “It’s called policework.
Memories of the death of his late wife came flooding back for Stevie. In poignant scenes, he reluctantly arrested Chris before quietly telling him to act confused in his CID interview. The exhaustion of being sole carer could mean he’d made a mistake with the dosage. Humane policing, in contrast to Shane’s provocative posturing. Yet there was more melancholy to come.
At the station, Jonty was just despairing that they’d “lost” Mount Eden when Lee arrived to ask for his cash back. They need an inside informant. He needs his drug money. This could be the start of a beautiful friendship.A Line of Duty-esque flurry of acronyms included MIT , ARVs , SIO and VCPs .Tommy and Sandra were listening to Burn the Black Suit by County Tyrone singer-songwriter Juliet Turner.
