Netflix's Crime Drama 'Dept. Q': Episode Six Recap
In the sixth episode of 'Dept. Q', protagonist Carl Morck (Matthew Goode) delves deeper into the mysterious disappearance of prosecutor Merritt Lingard, a case that threatens to unravel his world.
The episode commences with Merritt and Sam discussing a mutual associate, Kirsty, in a cemetery. Merritt reveals that someone within the Crown Office informed Finch about Kirsty, potentially threatening her life. Sam warns Merritt that powerful individuals are watching her and advises her to be cautious, especially as she starts receiving threats.
Meanwhile, Akram and Carl pay a visit to Finch Overseas Shipping. Carl is concerned about Fergus, who has been followed since their initial meeting and has recently suffered a beating. Fergus suggests the culprit may be someone from within their circle, as they knew he worked on the Merritt case for eight months without any progress.
At the police station, Moira, DCI Bruce, and two officers from the Leith Park case ambush Carl. They have arrested someone, but they need him to conduct a line-up. Carl visits the flat at Leith Park, recalling the masked intruder's eyes from the night he was shot. The officers mentioned they were there to watch who shows up, but Carl senses a cover-up.
As Carl returns to Dept. Q, another car tails him. Upon reaching the station, he learns that an arrest has been made, and he is required to participate in a line-up. The team suspects someone else was involved in the Leith Park incident, as they believe the assailant intended to kill a police officer, not just knock out the victim.
Intriguingly, the investigation reveals that a journalist at the press conference implied Alfie Allen was an informant. Carl wonders if there was an overlap between the reporter and PC Anderson, who claimed Alfie's daughter contacted him for a routine wellness check. Carl questions Anderson's actions, suspecting a need for further investigation.
In the chamber, Merritt recalls her meeting with Sam at a hotel and grows suspicious of his actions. She suggests a search for wires and offers to return the favor. In the heat of suspicion, both strip down, hoping to build trust.
Meanwhile, Rose questions Liam Taylor regarding the selection of witnesses and probes his relationship with Finch's advocate, Robert McDonald. Carl expresses skepticism towards Liam's innocence, suggesting he may have sabotaged his own case as revenge for Merritt halting their relationship.
As the team digs deeper, they discover that Liam may have known about Kirsty but refused to act on it. Carl wonders if Merritt confided in Liam about Kirsty, which could have compromised her credibility.
Rose learns that Julia Montgomery, Stephen Burns' daughter, was involved in a car accident that left a man named Ned Finkle paralyzed. This revelation suggests a hidden connection between Merritt's disappearance and Stephen Burns.
In a shocking turn of events, Jasper is threatened by a stranger at a meeting arranged by Carl. The man warns Jasper that people would pay to watch or harm him if he makes noise. Carl confronts the man, leading to a physical altercation.
At the police station, the team finds evidence suggesting Carl's attacker was set up to create a disturbance. Moira is outraged by the manipulation but decides not to fire Carl, acknowledging that it would play into the perpetrators' hands.
Rose and Akram continue their investigation, leading them to Ballantyne Transfer & Security, owned by Finch Overseas Shipping. They suspect someone from these organizations is behind the harassment of Carl.
In an intense confrontation, Akram injures Edmund Solomon, the chauffeur of Ballantyne Transfer & Security, during their search for answers. The episode ends with a cliffhanger, teasing further revelations in the next installment.
