Line of Duty

When Roz changed the samples over did she gat the sample from something in the boot.? How did they have two samples tested if she had done the change before the original was tested? I do still have it all recorded still so may have to watch the first couple again!!!

Surely if they've taken a swab then there should be some evidence of Ifield's DNA still in the wound.

So many twists and turns, I'm a bit like you Badenkate lost the thread with the balaclava.
Roz is definitely a spousal abuser, he looked like it was not a new situation. I thought the tables were turned comprehensively on Hastings, unexpected.
Not sure where the infection link is going, I thought someone would have picked up on Roz not using her left hand.

From evidence he found he realised the chappie locked up who is an innocent slow lad he realised he was not guilty. So eventually went to them with his suspicions. He wore the disguise just to go to the DIY I think as he knew all about the balaclava man.

Thinking back to the beginning: why was there apparently a cover-up for the original crimes which is what made Tim Ifield go to AC12; and why was he wearing a balaclava - he couldn't have been the original balaclava man!

Jamie was in Our Girl, Londons Burning, Midsomer Murders etc etc. He is good!

Good job he didn't bed her or maneet would have been waiting outside quite a while . Thought I had answer but last night changed that. Can someone tell me what Jamie was in before .

I wish it would hurry up and end and we find out who, what, why and how, I'm so impatient. My DH says it's too far fetched, I told him to shut up!

I thought her infection was bad enough to need to be in hospital for specific antibiotics. Does the new chap have a whiff of the Caddy about him? Just something about his manner.
Is Roz a husband beater? She hit him twice and he did not seem very surprised. I hunk Roz made a mistake with some of the things she said to the undercover woman at the end - she will be hard on the case to get Roz now.

I was also wondering about the solicitor. It has to be someone who knew he was going to see Roz's husband.
I'm wondering also, if her boss has a plan to incriminate her. He's a bit too obliging and obviously had already planned to meet Maneel.
What happened to the officer who was drafted in to replace Roz on the initial murder enquiry, he's quiet. Is it all a big plan to get her once and for all?
I love a complicated mystery.

After seeing the face slapping I wonder if Roz hasn't been abusing her husband. He didn't look at all surprised. Her fight back in her interview was very clever indeed. It's starting to seem a bit far fetched than no one has noticed her arm. Still suspicious of the ACC. No idea really about balaclava man, think it is a man but could be anyone. Fascinating stuff.

OH! it is cruel to make us wait another week! Anyway, my thoughts are that Huntley's solicitor might well be the balaclava man, although he should have bruises of some sort shouldn't he, after the fight? How long was Maneel going to wait there for the file to be picked up. Roz was clever, but her blood sample from her arm is going to give her away I think. She is quite willing to use her 'sex' to get information, but "married woman". Wants it both ways, I think.

I think other posters meant they thought Roz didn't mean to kill Tim. Course she did. I agree though, all that blood would have been difficult to remove entirely.
Could balaclava man be Mr Huntley's solicitor? He's bigger than Nick Huntley, so is balaclava man, plus he knew Steve Arnott was on the way due to NH's phone call.
What's going on with Maneet, what was in the file? Brilliant tv.

I don't think balaclaver man can be a woman gettingonabit as they've said 'hes' heavyish build, because they were saying it was too big for the lad in custody

If trying to kill Roz was an accident how come he had a chainsaw handy? Not something I keep in my kitchen

^ If he'd cut his jugular, though, wouldn't blood be spurting everywhere? Making it almost impossible to clean?^
Yes, I think i said before that it would be in tiny cracks and crevices and anyone trying to get out even after they had cleaned would surely leave some traces.

and how did such a thick drip not very bright man become ACC?

But how could RH's boss have arranged to meet M to pick up the file when he had planned to be bedding her (RH). oh never thought of that.

She has a nasty infection needing antibiotics and has a 'fever' ; I'm surprised the GP didn't send her for intravenous antibiotics as it could cause sepsis.
Invisible children and an invisible cleaner, although no-one is ever home to mess the place up.

I think Tim's death was some sort of accident, too. If he'd cut his jugular, though, wouldn't blood be spurting everywhere? Making it almost impossible to clean?

That was clever of Roz, to be fair. I thought the sexism angle may be going somewhere, what with all the "darlin" and "wee girl" from Ted.

I hope Maneet is not being played; I'm suspicious of new cop Jamie too-he was very oily with Maneet. Could he be Hilton's plant in AC12?

Why didn't nurse who saw car driver outside flat be called in to identify him as Nick?

Could Steve's balaclava attacker be a woman?

My theory is that Tim jumped as high as I did when she opened her eyes at the end of episode one, but instead of just spilling a glass of wine he nicked his own jugular with his chainsaw...

No don't think it's the husband he seems a bit weak
Blimey she's a cool cookie
But sorry I d have been in intensive care with that arm, I only had a tiny scratch from athletes foot and was at deaths door (slight, only slight exaggeration) with cellutitis, she's got the mankiest of wounds half way up her arm and not only is she walking around but not one so and so notices, not even her husband, no one bumps her, you know how often you knock an injury ......
I m still stuck on how she got out of the clutches of the chainsaw

But how could RH's boss have arranged to meet M to pick up the file when he had planned to be bedding her (RH). I'm . I agree ana not the husband but who is balaclava man?

That new bloke's still acting a bit oddly. My protegee Jodie was keeping her head down tonight, but what about Maneet ? Well done for pointing the finger of suspicion at her last week, Welshwife. Perhaps you should apply for a job with AC12 (or maybe not, considering the occupational hazards of losing a finger/getting shot/being bundled over a nearby banister).

I don't think it was her husband.

So pleased they didn't kill Steve off and I agree she certainly did a number on them in the interview. Still trying to puzzle out who bashed Steve though or was it the husband?
