When rescuers retrieve a corpse from a charred structure, the official autopsy reveals the person actually died from gunshot injuries. This discovery prompts the pair to hunt down the perpetrator, who appears to have shifted from murder to cold arson.

is a televised episode that falls within the broader programme format. It presents a self‑contained story that follows the conventions of a crime‑drama, delivering a concise narrative that unfolds over its runtime. The episode is packaged as a single instalment, distinct from a longer series, and it centres on a particular investigative case. The plot opens with emergency crews pulling a lifeless body from the wreckage of a building that has been reduced to ash. While the surrounding devastation suggests the fire was the cause of death, the medical examiner’s report reveals that the victim actually succumbed to gunshot wounds. This unexpected finding forces the investigators to look beyond the blaze and consider a homicide that has been concealed by the flames. Consequently, the two main investigators – the duo at the heart of the story – turn their attention to uncovering the person responsible. Their search leads them to a suspect who not only committed the shooting but also deliberately set the fire to cover up the crime. The episode follows their methodical pursuit, piecing together evidence that points to this murderer‑turned‑arsonist, and builds toward the confrontation that will determine whether justice is finally served.
