Episode list

Paddy investigates the killing of a human-rights lawyer.

McVie survives and, with Paddy, establishes that Thillingly was most likely murdered. They visit McDade to ask about his connection to the dead lawyers. He tells them that Vhari had evidence to expose government dirty tricks in accusing the NUM of fraud, though Maloney presents Devlin with supposed fraud by the union. He realizes that she is colluding with the government to discredit the NUM and boost newspaper sales. Soon afterwards he is beaten up but this incites him to rally the staff to defy Maloney. Paddy and McVie rescue Karen - to whom Vhari passed on her information - from her abductors, Lafferty and Neilson, the man Paddy saw at Vhari's house. They take her to the newspaper office where she reveals the government conspiracy. The News prints a front page exposing the government and police collusion and Maloney is forced to back off. However Paddy discovers that she is pregnant by married policeman Dan Burns, with whom she had been having an affair and who had given her information.
