Line of duty Series 1 Ep2

Gates continues his investigation into the double murder of the two suspected drug dealers, and forces a less than co-operative witness to talk by threatening to label him a police snitch. Meanwhile, PC Bannerjee and PC Larkin respond to a silent alarm at a block of flats and catch a burglar, Lee Plater, in the act. During interrogation, he confesses to a number of other offences, including a break-in at the house of a pensioner whose complaints are being dealt with by Fleming. Arnott interviews Nadzia, the waitress who gave Gates the free breakfast, and she reveals that a tall, slim and dark-haired woman was in the cafe with Gates. A search on the police database reveals that a number of burglaries committed by the offender caught by Bannerjee and Larkin were at properties owned by Laverty Holdings PLC. After visiting a hairdressers, one of the properties owned by Laverty, Arnott suspects that Laverty is running a money-laundering operation. The investigating team realise that the dealers' murderers cannot have found what they were looking for, but find a secret hiding place, where they suspect the drugs may have been stashed, which has since been emptied. Gates confronts Laverty over the death of her accountant. She invents a story but Gates realises that she was laundering money. Gates arrests her, but on the way to the police station she persuades him to release her. Meanwhile, another drug dealer is found dead on the estate, hanging from a lamp post with his fingers cut off, but Fleming realises that Gates has disappeared and informs Arnott. While Gates and Laverty are together in her house, masked intruders force their way in. Gates is knocked unconscious, Laverty is murdered, and Gates's fingerprints are placed on the murder weapon.
