Episode #1.5

We go back a month before Gabriel's acid attack, the time period of the first murder victim.

A drunk psychiatrist Jonas Borner, his acid scarred and mutilated body was found at a park. Borner was a colleague of Isaac Taylor, the hygiene obsessed weird psychiatrist we might think is a suspect to the killings.

What this episode actually shows us that before the attack what an unlikable arrogant man Markham was. In the previous episode we saw him as cocksure with a swagger, here he is an out and out womaniser. In his dalliance with Shepard he tells her that he loves her, later claiming he did not mean it.

Shepard is seen talking to someone in her room but it is actually her mother in her head. She renews her visit to her father in prison who tells her that he is dying.

In between all the bonking he does, Markham is getting nowhere with his investigations, a suspect he nabbed was locked up in custody at the time the second murder occurred.

By the end of the episode as we see the first victim being killed the face of the murderer is revealed.
