The team continue to look into Gates and his involvement with Jackie Laverty.

It's hugely dramatic, and also very exciting, it truly does keep your attention. If anything it gets better and better.

Gates is so incredibly cool, intelligent, and comes complete with a hugely loyal fan base, people are very protective of him. Jackie's death now makes full sense, Gates is fully in the hands of the mystery villain. Is he a bent cop or not, I still can't remember.

Steve's character development continues, he's a bit reckless, a bit cavalier, but desperate for the truth.

Who is that little kid? He's a brat! Rita is very funny, but I'm not sure she's in the right job.

The production and music continue to be first rate. This was excellent, 9/10.

Interesting but camera operator is moving the camera up, down, side to side, up, down, up down, I'm feeling sick watching this. I think this was fashionable at the time but way overdone and really distracting.

Gates holds his nerve under pressure as the walls start closing in.

This is an entertaining episode with some standout moments.

The cat and mouse game between Gates and Arnott is pretty good, with the standout moment for me easily being the interview scene. Lennie James and Martin Compston do the dialogue exchange very well.

Another good part involves a clever strategy undertaken to identify a traitor. I have used this method catch people backstabbing me in the past and always enjoy seeing it done well.

The only weakness of the show so far is in the character writing of some of the antagonists, which comes across as quite one-note so far. However, I appreciate this might get better as characters develop.

For me it's a a 7.5/10, but I round upwards.

I like the bit where he hid the whisky glass in his pocket.
