Episode 1 • Dec 06, 2016
Episode #1.1
In 1955 in Uddingston, Lanarkshire, nine years after policeman William Muncie's work put him in prison, Peter Manuel is released and proceeds to taunt Muncie with greetings cards. Having picked up lonely Mary McLauchlan, Manuel sexually assaults her, threatening to kill her if she gives him away. She picks him out at an identity parade but he defends himself superbly in court and is acquitted, whilst Mary is vilified. Muncie, however, is convinced of his guilt, especially after another young woman, Anne Kneilands, is sexually assaulted and murdered.
Episode 2 • Dec 13, 2016
Episode #1.2
Nine months have passed since Anne Kneiland was killed but Muncie cannot touch prime suspect Manuel when his father gives him an alibi. Days later Marion Watt, her daughter Vivienne and her sister are all shot dead in their beds and Marion's husband Bill, who argued with Vivienne, is arrested. Muncie believes they were a tragic case of mistaken identity, killed by Manuel, who was hoping to target another family, and he is even more convinced when Manuel tells Bill's solicitor Laurence Dowdall that the real killer was a local crime boss - though it does lead to Bill's release. At Christmas Manuel is enraged when his sister Theresa accuses him of stealing the presents he gives to the family and he storms out. Next day Muncie is informed that another young woman, Isabelle Cooke, has gone missing.
Episode 3 • Dec 20, 2016
Episode #1.3
Following Isabelle Cooke's disappearance a cocky Manuel visits the police station with a prepared alibi. Volunteers search for Isabelle but find only her coat and with no body Muncie cannot charge Manuel whilst Muncie's informant Joe Brannan is unable to extract any confession from the suspect. Then 12 year old Michael Smart and his parents are shot in their beds and the home robbed. This sets Muncie on the way to arresting Manuel when notes stolen from the Smarts' house are proved to be the monies with which Manuel bought Joe drinks. The case is closed with Scotland's most prolific serial killer being executed in 1958.

Many serials about investigators are based on real cases, but at the same time the identity of the investigator who uncovered this case remains behind the scenes. On the screen, we see not a real person, but a certain collective image. It was. But it won't be like this anymore. In this 12-episode serial, the prototypes of the three main characters were three investigators of the Main Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation. All of them are people of high ranks and really geniuses of their work. All the cases used in the series are real, for which the perpetrators are found and convicted. The series will give the viewer not only an exciting detective intrigue based on facts from life, but also reveal the identity of the investigator, usually remaining "in the shadow of" the case itself.
