Line of Duty #3

[Lanavalentine]

Anyone could be on the PNC. Nominal doesn't mean they have to be a criminal to be on the PNC. It doesn't mean they have to have a criminal record.

No, a nominal is not necessarily a criminal but it is someone known to police due to a warning, arrest etc. It is not a police officer.

You really need to watch the scene again. Here’s the screenshots of Steve explaining how they searched the whole system, aka beyond police officer DNA, and found it to be a nominal, aka not a police officer:

Actors don't tend to turn their backs on their highest profile work. And this story arc hasn't just suddenly been decided on a whim.

I dont think anyone knows who H is not even Jed Mercurio it be like walking dead 10 endings filmed so no one knows who H is

 

[Fairypop]

I feel sick at the thought of going to sleep and waking up to 40 pages of theories

 

[Midlands0121]

There are about, 1.1 million non criminal "nominals" in the PNC. Trust me on that one lol

You have to have had a run in with the law and have had some form of reprimand.

Pretty sure Jed will know since he wrote it, not like they're running a lucky dip to decide.

So it could well be that the DNA was connected to her mother whose data was presumably registered on a Scottish database ("other police databases")?

She could be Corbett's twin - they were both born in 1979 apparently.

Editing because I'm in tattle jail for the next two mins lol

If it's male, could it be John's bio dad then? He was murdered/active during the Troubles. Given that ht was married to John's mum and had the same surname, surely the system would flag up the connection between them (them being John's mum and himself).

This autocorrect (I'm guessing) has made me laugh so much more than it should

It's a male.

I’ve just seen a theory that maybe she’s related to one of the boys from the armed robbery, in particular Jake . It wouldn’t be my first theory, I’m not sure it would’ve warranted that response from Ted, but just throwing it out there

 

[Midlands0121]

Ok, we will see next week. All the dialogue in LoD is always open to interpretation. & a lot of things are red herrings ☺. I've watched the scene 3 times. John Cirbetts records were COMPLETELY wiped. There was no record of John in the Police database as John Corbett in last season due to him being undercover. So he could well be the person still.

So it has to be someone like Terry then ??

I suppose it would tie in to how she knew about the robbery but as you say, think it needs to be someone more prominent to make Ted react like that.

bleeping hell. I'm sitting here trying not to wake my whole household up laughing this. PEDALO RING. FFS

Could be his dad, I guess? I don’t think it’s impossible but I think it’s unlikely.

 

[Whatsallthis]

Absolutely agree that it was Ryan who killed Vella. I’d be surprised if not anyway!
“If I’m wrong I’ll be corrected!!”

Yes! And him saying something along the line of “look how easy this was” on Jo’s doorstep could’ve been a nod to Vella being gunned down literally on her doorstep.

 

[SarahGard83]

Steves willy might be fixed after that little bang to his back. Might've woken the little fella up

Is it wrong that I want to see Ted on a pedalo now? Maybe he could come down the Lagan on it

 

[Lanavalentine]

It could be anyone who isn’t a police officer but would have a reason to be on the PNC. So anything from a convicted criminal to someone who got off with a warning.

It doesn’t narrow it down much, I know!

My money is still on her being related to Tommy Hunter, it just makes the most sense to me, but who knows?

 

[Midlands0121]

Hang on you argued the toss with me and now you've said it could be to do with John had we got our wires crossed or 1

I dont think anyone knows who H is not even Jed Mercurio it be like walking dead 10 endings filmed so no one knows who H is

I read that Jed writes as he goes rather than having a long term plan so that’s prob true
