Line 86:
* [[Plot-Triggering Death]]: The killing of Harvey Wratten.
* [[One Last Job]]: Joseph.
* [[Only Known Byby Their Nickname]]: Gatehouse. Glickman calls him James, but other than that we (and most of the characters) have no idea what his real name is.
* [[Passing the Torch]]: {{spoiler|An evil version in the new members of Counterpoint; Jay Wratten as the figurehead and Ratallack as the numbers man.}}
* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: Jay
Line 101:
* [[Sympathetic Criminal]]: Joseph Bede. He's just in the drugs business for one last job, the proceeds of which he'll use to pay for his wife's Alzheimer's treatment.
* [[Technically a Smile]]: Gabriel exhibits one of these when {{spoiler|he and his boss go to talk to Khokar, laying out his theory of what happened. And then he drops the pretense and explodes with "''But that's not what happened, is it?''" as he points to the scar the bullet in his brain left, and the audience realizes he's actually ''furious''.}}
* [['Tis Only a Bullet Inin Thethe Brain]]: Gabriel
* [[Title Drop]]: Finally happens in Episode 5, after an awful lot of characters musing on the themes of ''shadows'' and ''light'' and ''lines.'' And then they keep musing, {{spoiler|right through the final scene of the series.}}
* [[Trailers Always Spoil]]: Gatehouse was shown in promo pictures long before he appeared in Episode 2, and is right behind Gabriel and Bede in the BBC website header. The character description refers to him as {{spoiler|"lethal", well before he kills anyone.}} The iPlayer description for Episode 5 says {{spoiler|Gatehouse finally tracks Glickman down, with explosive consequences." There is literally an explosion. Someone at the BBC thinks they're being cute.}} Gatehouse will also appear on the DVD cover.
