Overview
Joel Kingston is a copper’s copper from a respected and notable police family but when he is found dead, floating in a park lake, DCI Vera Stanhope (Brenda Blethyn) finds herself investigating both sides of the thin blue line in order to find his killer. A complex family dynamic, tensions at work, and brushes with the underworld, paint a dark and complex picture. Joel was there to serve and protect but did his stubborn commitment to justice at any price lead to his death? Or, was he killed to stop him revealing a secret that would destroy someone’s life? Vera steps on toes and ruffles a few police feathers as she searches for answers as to why PC Joel Kingston is no longer on the beat.

00:06:49 You tell me, what time did you find him?
00:10:20 Aye. They're knocking on his door now.
00:14:31 He's already sent some stuff through, Ma'am. I'll go through it.

00:22:02 The flowers.
00:25:36 PC Kingston was murdered.
00:29:32 Didn't even know what I was doing. Just hitting buttons.
00:32:53 Just the usual racist jokes.
00:36:27 Right, look, as soon as I realised she was upset, I apologised.
00:39:53 I mean, it were my fault. I wound him up.
00:43:31 He hates my living guts, man. I'm sure that's not true.
00:47:15 Hello?
00:51:09 So, why d'you think he came in here? And we know he came in.
00:54:30 What, in this state? I don't think so.
00:58:29 And I wouldn't judge you if you did decide to quit.
01:01:48 Just said he had something to take care of
01:05:45 It's, er... one of the posh ones on the marina.

01:17:49 What are the fees on this place?

01:24:48 No, Phil's the one you want.
01:28:57 You go get 'em, pet.
