Disc 1
Episode 1: The Spartacus Thing
After serving only 18 months in prison for strangling his wife with a dog chain, Alan Hickson meets a strikingly similar end. Still outraged over Hickson’s light sentence, 15 members of his dead wife’s family confess to his murder. Thus, Janine and Richard face the daunting task of proving a roomful of suspects innocent.
Episode 2: Make Believe
When three-year-old Sammy Wray apparently vanishes into thin air from a neighborhood playground, the squad moves heaven and earth to find him. But when a child’s body turns up wrapped in a sheet in a drainage tunnel, the mystery only deepens and leads Janine to families shattered by jealousy and delusion.
Disc 2
Episode 3: In Deep
At the bottom of Blackshore Lake, divers find the remains of a man eventually identified as Mickey Day, a small-time crook and drug dealer. What connection—if any—did he have with a group of four college mates who used to fish together at the lake but now are dying under suspicious circumstances, one by one?
Episode 4: Steady Eddie
Eddie Carter was a copper’s cop, a bloke who preferred walking the beat to climbing the greased pole of promotions within the police department. When he dies in a drive-by shooting, though, Janine and her team turn up some surprising and devastating details that dovetail with their investigation of a jewel heist gone wrong. |
