*spoiler* What was Petra's angle?


When she killed Peter Glickman, I assumed she was working for Gatehouse. But then she has a go at killing Gatehouse in the hospital.

So who was she working for, and why did she want both these people dead?

reply

The guy Gatehouse strung up after she failed, Kolah(sp). She killed Glickman because she was working for Counterpoint, effectively Gatehouse, once Gatehouse screwed up a couple of times his partners, or at least Kolah, decided to off him as well. those must be some really great pensions.

It is only partly correct. The pensions are very very great. Self financing drug smuggling and these amounts...that make very nice pensions. Why Kolah tried to kill Glickman & later Gatehouse was that Kolah felt threatening. He thought that Gatehouse tries to remove all ties to the police and run it for himself and that is why he killed the old connections. In truth it was never about killing everyone. It was only to regain control and make another new network. Kolah only wanted Glickman & Gatehouse dead so there is no link to himself. Without any Money & the drugs destroyed they couldnt have linked it back to the police. Glickman was a finance wizard, they wouldnt have found the money at any accounts that are traced back to the police pension fund i am sure. The only one who could have told anyone was Gatehouse after Glickman was killed.

That is my conclussion.
