Wire in the Blood - Season 5 - Episode 4

The murder of an elderly woman, suffocated in her own home, seems too deliberately staged to be an accident or robbery. And when Alex calls in Tony he realises the killer will strike again. To set a trap, Tony and Alex hold a public meeting which Tony predicts the killer will be compelled to attend. At the meeting, Tony’s profile of the murderer sees one member of the public stand out as prime suspect – thuggish security guard Kelly. He lives with his overbearing mother and has also been seen near the scene of crime by several witnesses - including frightened local man Donovan. But Kelly and his mother hold out under questioning and, as Tony predicted, the first murder proves to be the start of several killings. They all show the same signature but apparently different personality traits in the finer details of their execution. The differences seem too profound to allow for only one killer. Meanwhile, Tony has an initially pleasant surprise when old friend Jonathan (Michael Maloney), a psychologist whose work he admired when they were students together, turns up out of the blue. But Alex immediately dislikes Jonathan, and her instincts are proved right.

Jason appears to be a reformed character after years of therapy in prison, but Tony's not convinced and manages to sway the board to his view until Eglee's distraught mother attacks him before collapsing and dying. For the press and public Tony has blood on his hands and Eglee is released as a compassionate gesture. When a girl is murdered in the same circumstances as Eglee's former victim, Tony is in no doubt that Eglee is starting a new spree.

Tony's confidence begins to crumble and, as the press hound him for an expose, Alex decides she can no longer permit him to work for the police. However, not everyone has lost faith in Tony and his acuity hasn't deserted him. As the murderer gears up to take another victim, Tony suddenly realises who they are and why.
