[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.
