Outline Series 01, Episode 04

Emery is sprayed with CS gas by a police officer, but is able to escape only to be confronted by Carey, who tells him about her suspicions. Before overpowering her and escaping in her car, Emery tells her he was actually taken to Gastor Square.

Forced to abandon the police vehicle, Emery is kidnapped by two people calling themselves Alma and Kenny, who show him a GPS tracker in his shoe, and dispose of it. Carey and Flynn deduce the actual location Emery was taken to in Belgravia and are met by Napier, who asks them to leave.

Marcus Levy is attacked and put into a coma by Napier’s men.

After defying Garland’s orders by trying to have Roberts’s body relocated by the coroner, Carey is suspended from duty, accused of perverting the course of justice. She confronts Hart in The Shard, but he warns her to tread carefully and think about why Roberts, a human rights lawyer, would choose to represent Emery.

Flynn uncovers footage showing that Roberts did get on the bus that evening. Using an airgapped phone with a map of CCTV blind spots, Alma takes Emery to an industrial nightclub. She tells him about the covert intelligence practice of “correction”, in which video evidence is manipulated to convict suspects.

He is met by the man he saw in Roberts’s flat, Kenny, and his former solicitor Charlie Hall.
