DI Jonah Gabriel finally uncovers the truth about Counterpoint and the people behind it, but will he be able to bring them to justice?
Meanwhile, the final moves are made in Joseph Bede’s multi-million pound deal – will the amiable florist-turned-criminal mastermind be able to enjoy his retirement? The one person who can help or hinder both men is the mercurial Gatehouse, but on which side of the shadow line will the man in the hat come down?
Episode 7 of The Shadow Line airs at 9pm on Thursday 16th June on BBC Two. In the meantime, here are ten teasing lines of dialogue from the episode…
» ‘There is absolutely no connection between Jonah Gabriel and Joseph Bede.’
» ‘You’re dressing this up as altruism. How sick is that?’
» ‘People don’t do bad things because they want to stroke a white cat.’
» ‘It ends here. I’ve supported you up to this point because I knew he was a bad fucker. But if you go any further with this you’ll start fucking with me.’
» ‘Yeah, and I’m looking to shag Barack Obama, but some things you’re just never going to get.’
» ‘That’s the trouble with you and your fast track: when you hit a dead end, it’s too late to brake.’
» ‘I thought we could get together on this – cops and Customs – like the happy family we’re supposed to be.’
» ‘One of the cleverest killers since the Borgias knows that you just tried to kill him, so what do you think he’s going to do next?’
» ‘Find that fucking Gatehouse before he buries us all.’
» ‘It’s time to call the cops, sir. Only be careful who you call; because around here, no-one’s who they seem.’
