## Background

Josh was born to Kate and Mark Fleming at some point in the early-to-mid 2000's in The City where the show is set. His relationship with his mother has never been easy and is distant, due to her often working long hours (especially when undercover) for Central Police.

## Series 5

### Operation Pear Tree

Josh is shown living in a new house with both his parents, who have reconciled and are trying to make their relationship work again. This is mainly due to Kate Fleming being promoted to Inspector and being removed from undercover work, thus reducing her hours.

Estrangement between Josh and his mother has gotten worse, with him and his father Mark Fleming going on a family trip to the cinema without her after waiting for as long as they could for her to get home.

## Series 6

### Episode 6

In her interview with AC-12, Davidson reveals that the main reason McTulloch was removed from Operation Lighthouse was due to impatience from DSU Ian Buckells, who was concerned about the lack of leads that had been uncovered a month after the murder of Gail Vella and how it would impact his own professional reputation. Buckell's sent out a memorandum to Central Police questioning McTulloch's ability to lead the investigation. This conveniently allowed his position to be filled by DCI Joanne Davidson (with it being implied her selection was assisted by from corrupt elements of the police in league with the Organised Crime Group).

During his brief tenure, McTulloch primarily focused on the theory that Vella was murdered in a professional hit by organised crime due to her investigation into their links with Central Police.

Jake Kilorgan

**Jake Kilorgan** is a minor criminal, known to Central Police.

## Background

### Personal

### Criminal Record

According to the PNC, he has previously been charged with the following offenses:

* Theft
* No insurance
* Drunk & disorderly behaviour
* Violent disorder

## Series 6

### Episode 1

Kilorgan, along with Daniel Peronell, Kevin Farmount and two others, are intercepted by Central Police whilst trying to escape after robbing Hickey's Bookmakers. The convoy, led by DCI Joanne Davidson, was headed to a separate call to Beechwood House to arrest a suspect as part of Operation Lighthouse, but was redirected last minute when Davidson saw their van parked suspiciously outside the bookmakers. Peronell, Kilorgan and Farmount surrender to PS Briggs and his team of Authorised Firearms Officer's, however one of their accomplices is shot dead.

DC Chloe Bishop and DS Steve Arnott of Anti Corruption Unit 12 later study Kilorgan's record when it is uploaded onto the Central Police Portal, and remark that for such a low level offender it is unusual he was involved in such a high level armed robbery. Furthermore, the fact that a group of such inexperienced criminals happened to be doing so just at the same time the convoy led by Davidson was passing raises their suspicions more.

### Episode 4

When DI Kate Fleming and DS Chris Lomax begin re-examining the type of weapon used in the murder of Gail Vella, they begin comparing the cartridge found at the scene to the weapons recovered from the robbery of Hickey's Bookmakers. Although the weapon used to kill Vella was "workshopped" (an untraceable firearm often converted from a replica or blank firer) and the robbery weapons were not, Fleming still has Kilorgan brought to Hillside Lane Station for questioning. He is assured his cooperation will be relayed to the Crown Prosecution Service and could result in a reduction in his sentence.

In the presence of his solicitor, he is questioned by the detectives as to where he and his accomplices obtained the guns they used in the robbery. He tells them that he and the others drove to an industrial estate (implied to be an area used by the Organised Crime Group) and were provided with the firearms outside a workshop by an unknown man. They were offered "workshopped" converted guns, but didn't want to risk them misfiring so opted for the regular, older weapons (a sawn off shotgun, Walther P38, Colt 1911 and Webley revolver) instead.

AC-12 Building

**Kingsgate House**, also known as the **AC-12 Building** is a large administrative building operated by Central Police located in the Kingsgate area of the city. It is where the AC-12 offices are located.

## Information

The building is never referred to by name or on screen until Series 5, in which small signage at the front of the building denoting the name Kingsgate House is visible. It is synonymous with the AC-12 department which it houses, and is large and modern, with a glassy exterior and open plan office spaces.

In Series 1, DS Steve Arnott's business card states that the address of the building is: 296 Manor Road, Kingsgate, LB1 2CV. However, this address is also seen in signage in the separate Kingsgate Station, suggesting it may be a continuity error. Emergency exit signage in Series 1 states that the AC-12 offices are on the 10th floor of the building.

Signage briefly seen in Series 1 indicates there is a helicopter landing pad on the roof of the building, however this is never expanded upon or shown further.

In Series 4, a building directory seen in the reception area shows that AC-12 has been relocated to the 7th floor, and that several other departments are housed in the building also, including:

* Anti-Corruption Unit 12 (7th Floor)
* Crime Executive (6th Floor)
* Crime Audit (5th Floor)
* Standards (4th Floor)
* Complaints (3rd Floor)
* Policy Unit (2nd Floor)
* Administration (1st Floor)
* Strategic Firearms Command
* Cyber Crime Department

As of Series 5, a small detachment of Authorised Firearms Officer's from the Strategic Firearms Command appear to be stationed in the building full time. This is likely an increased security measure after the events of Series 3.

There seems to be a small Cyber Crime Department office in the building housing Amanda Yao and her team.
