Trial & Retribution

The opening instalment of a two‑part drama follows detectives Walker and Connor as they probe the killing of a baby girl whose nanny has vanished. Their investigation quickly leads them to suspect the childminder of having committed identity fraud in the case.

The programme opens as the first instalment of a two‑part drama, setting the stage for a narrative that will continue into a second episode. It introduces viewers to a self‑contained story that promises a follow‑up, positioning the opening as both a standalone entry and a precursor to what comes next. In this opening episode, detectives Walker and Connor are called in to examine a particularly tragic case: a baby girl has been murdered and the child's nanny has vanished without a trace. As the pair sift through the limited evidence, their inquiry begins to focus on the childminder, whose involvement appears increasingly suspicious. The detectives soon entertain the possibility that the childminder may be engaged in identity fraud, adding a layer of complexity to the murder investigation. The narrative unfolds with Walker and Connor methodically pursuing leads, their suspicion of the childminder growing as they piece together the circumstances surrounding both the homicide and the nanny’s disappearance. By the episode’s conclusion, the investigators are left with a strong impression that the childminder’s fraudulent identity could be central to the crime, setting up a tension that will likely be resolved in the series’ second part. This first episode thus combines a murder mystery with the intrigue of identity deception, establishing the groundwork for the drama’s continuation.
