Silent Witness

Nikki carries out an unconventional post‑mortem on a solitary head, uncovering a chilling revelation that unsettles the whole team. The DNA findings compel them to consult an unexpected source for guidance, pulling in expertise from a quarter they had not previously considered.

Broken – Part Two is an episode of the programme Broken. Classified simply as a programme‑type episode, it continues the series’ focus on forensic investigations, presenting a self‑contained story that fits within the broader narrative of the show. In this instalment, the forensic specialist Nikki carries out a highly unconventional post‑mortem, examining only a severed head. The procedure is atypical, and the results quickly unsettle the rest of the team, as they uncover something genuinely frightening during the analysis. The unsettling findings are bolstered by DNA evidence that emerges from the examination. This new genetic information proves pivotal, compelling the investigators to broaden their approach and consider avenues they had not previously entertained. Consequently, the team is forced to seek guidance from a source they would not have expected. Turning to this surprising quarter for advice becomes a necessary step in trying to make sense of the disturbing discovery and the DNA clues that have upended their original assumptions.
