I'll cop the lot and keep you out of it, OK?

take all the blame / responsibility
It usually means 'take', often in an unwelcome sense as in 'suffer'; a similar expression is "he took all the flak for the failure".
In this case, I think the 'I' person is saying he'll assume the responsibiility (and whatever 'punishment' may happen) for whatever the situation is, in order to keep the 'you' person out of trouble.

That'll get you off whatever hook you think you're on.
Think I'm on?
Yeah. I'm sorting it,
OK? How?
I throw the bag into the found fսck¡ng property locker without booking it in.
What about my DNA?
Every copper in the bloody nick's DNA will be all over it. If anyone asks, which they won't, just say you kicked the bag out the way weeks ago. I cannot believe I'm having this conversation.
Right, Rachel, if this whole thing kicks off, I swear to God, you'll be in the clear. I'll cop the lot and keep you out of it, OK?

Other phrases, I will take the lot, (take all of them?)
Really need to see what was said before and after, THE LOT can mean all of them, could be the blame, THE LOT seems to mean all, all of them, the whole thing. The word LOT could be anything, it is like a pronoun, It, them, they, those ....could refer to anythnig that is being talked about.
