The Brutalizer is not the one who murdered Andrew. It’s presumably convenient for bent copper Danny (Peter Serafinowicz) to have Elliot believe that. In the police station he gets a stooge to pretend to have shot Andrew by accident.
“Who am I covering for?” he asks. “The Brutalizer” Danny responds, which suggests that Danny must have discovered who Andrew was hired by (which doesn’t play out in any meaningful way but we’ll allow it).
So who did kill Andrew and why?
It was one of Danny’s corrupt gang of coppers. Apparently it was because Andrew was wearing the hat that Jess had stolen from a boy in the club. He was supposed to assassinate Jess because she knew too much about the McGargee family. Given he killed Andrew with a single shot to the head from a distance does make it a bit hard to swallow that he can’t tell the difference between Andrew and Jess. But there you go.
Why does Andrew tell Elliot not to trust Jess?
Just before he’s shot, Andrew is about to explain why he told Elliot not to trust Jess and why he sprayed Elliot in the face. He is conveniently shot before he can do so. In the finale when we understand that Andrew was an armchair detective investigating Peter’s disappearance, we learn he is suspicious of Jess. It seems like the reason for this is because she nicked a bloke’s hat in the club. A hat that Andrew steals back, ultimately leading to his assassination… This isn’t a documentary, people.
Who is Christina?
Christina (Rebekah Murrell) is not, in fact, Jess’s sister, as she initially claims. Instead she is the mother of Peter’s child, Nico. Peter was seeing Christina on the side (while dating Elliot) and she fell pregnant. Peter broke up with Christina and in a fit of rage she accidentally cut his finger off. Danny is Christina’s half brother, who turns up to do a clean up job. However, Tina did not kill Peter, and nor did Danny. Christina did, on the other hand, kill their father the priest. He had been convinced (!) that Nico was an immaculate conception and the second coming of Christ, and therefore decided to leave all of his considerable wealth to Tina and Nico.
But Danny wasn’t having that and revealed Nico’s provenance to his dad. Dad planned to disinherit Tina, and confronts her about her choices, she gets mad and kills him before he’s actually had the chance to change his will. Danny turns up to clean up the scene, also knocking off the two janitors who found the body, leaving no trace of his sister’s crime. Danny then intends to kill Tina, Nico and Jess and take the inheritance which will then be his in the entirety and sodding off abroad for a quiet life.
