Didn't expect Maneet to die, let alone so brutally.

I did, Maneet was corrupt in AC-12 at much the same time if not later than Dot Cotton, she supplied information to ACC Hilton and possibly a few others, had connections to bent police officers and kept trying to pin it on others, she got Jamie kicked out of AC-12 by using his login info under false pretences who later turned out to be corrupt as well.
(As well, if you pay CLOSE attention, she's killed in the same place as the Social Worker from Series 3 and also ACC Hilton at the end of Series 4)

Having links to the gangs were much the downfall of many in LOD, Hilton, Denton, Gates are just the biggest ones. I think the only one who wasn't connected to the overarching Gangs was Danny Waldron, at least not in S3 that we were subjected to.

In S4 Roz Huntley was slightly connected, however I couldn't desern any major things

Huski/anyone else, who do you reckon H is? Hargreaves?

Hargreaves is a bit of a dodgy character in my mind. He always seems to be so forceful on investigations (e.g Nick Huntley) which may force them to give themselves in even if they're innocent—similar to what Cotton did?

Doubtful, but maybe.

Well, its a hard question. H could mean a few things and possibly even be put onto a different track, Hargreaves would be a good guess IMO as he does order MVC to block access to AC-12 (EG: Nick Huntley Interview in Series 4)

However we cant throw aside that Ted could be H, while unlikely its a possibility we cannot throw out, as AC-12 has had a lot of corruption shown within each series, Cotton, Jamie (Partial), Maneet and even Arnott to an extent, with the handling of Denton's case and even little discrepancies, while he isn't corrupt the disciplinary record could be played on later on.

H could even mean a codename, like The Caddy, It could be someone involved in WP schemes.
Series 5 is still young, only one episode, right now I'd want more episodes before I decide.

Note on series 5: What's the opinions of Lise? She's not the UCO, the Ringleader is, this surprised me fully, as he was somewhat orchestrating the murders, trap and drug deals, even the hijacking it looked as if it was his planning, why would a UCO do that? Powell said she doesn't keep contact, could the UCO end up being corrupt himself, as he has those links, is deeply embedded and also able to kill 3 AFOs, its a possibility.

I also found that "months without contact" part very suspicious. Maybe he does turn out to be 'H' after all...

I guess we'll see soon.

I just remembered...before Hastings went in the hotel, he made a phone call to someone but they didn't pick up. The phone was going off in that mixed race woman's car (names gone out me head)—what the hell was Hastings doing ringing her?

If it was Series 4 then Rosanne Huntey. However I'm not quite sure what Series/Ep you're on about. I'm still doubtful that Hastings would be H, as its just not really viable, at least with views, the fact he's been the cause of death both directly and indirectly of Balaclava Men but also Dot Cotton (Kate).

With anything (and re-watching series 1, 2 and part of 3) my mind goes to Hargreaves, he took Jamie, who was corrupt soon after. Something fishy

I'm on about S5E1.

Your points are valid though and I do still think Hargreaves is a bit dodgy.

Hastings!!

I'm not keeping it too closed off yet, its many MANY pictures both from the board and one from the files, which I'm guessing is SI Hastings, off of the board are both pictures of those we know, ACC Hilton probably ACC Dryden and Dot Cotton too.

Nice work, Huski

What did I say heh? Not Hastings. His wife might be screwed but hey, Hargreaves is dead, LOD keeps getting better

I have a feeling Steve isn't going to make it out of this series alive.

I think Gill might be 'H'.

Lise will crack next episode. I'm sad to say the plot to this LOD has been too thin, no twist has caught me off guard.
