In the fourth part of BBC Two’s thriller series, DI Jonah Gabriel finally establishes why murdered gangster Harvey Wratten received a Royal Pardon – but does the information help or hinder his investigation? Meanwhile, drug dealer Bob Harris begins to suspect Wratten’s nephew Jay of conspiring against him; and the family of missing money man Glickman are visited by the ruthless Gatehouse…
Episode 4 of The Shadow Line airs at 9pm on Thursday 26th May on BBC Two. In the meantime, here are ten teasing lines of dialogue from the episode…
» ‘If I catch you again, I don’t care which fucker says you should walk. I’ll be breaking both your legs before you go.’
» ‘I’ve just had Customs crawling up my arse.’
» ‘If I told you my wife and I were trying again for a baby and we had to get the timings of our sexual intercourse absolutely right, would that be enough information for you?’
» ‘You don’t know what I’m going to ask yet. I could be from Saga wondering if you’d like to be our next poster boy.’
» ‘That’s not just Strangers On A Train, that’s Bonnie And Clyde; you and Bob Harris, drugs baron.’
» ‘We made a mistake. It’s over. But we have a child. You have to tell your wife.’
» ‘Getting the royal pardon, it’s like a two-part test: first you’ve got to show the authorities you’re willing to help like Wratten did; then there’s this tricky bit: you’ve got to save someone’s life; someone on the other side of the line.’
» ‘I look forward to seeing that line-up. Is Derek Nimmo still alive?’
» ‘I don’t give a fuck what you feel; it’s what you know that counts.’
» ‘If I wanted to kill her, I’d have done so already – but if I have to, I will.’
