After an accident playing squash with Hathaway, Lewis visits a&e, where they discover Beatrice Donnelly, a young girl that had been drugged and raped. Lewis and Hathaway begin looking for all users of the drug used. One particular Oswald Cooper, who works at Beatrice's school rubs Lewis up the wrong way by mentioning the death of Lewis's wife Val. That night, Oswald is found murdered and mutilated, the duo must discover if the cases are linked.
This is a hugely memorable episode, it's a dark and deep story, reminiscent of the Morse episodes. It features an incredibly good cast list, top notch showings from Jason Watkins, Sean McGinley, Daniela Nardini. Engaging til the very last.
Somehow watching this one, I feel that there's a definite connection with both Lewis and Hathaway, Lewis's irritation at the mention of Val was excellently done.
8/10
