Trial & Retribution

Part two of two, the concluding chapter of Lynda La Plante's new five‑film series, sees the team wrestling with the Delany brothers' alibi. Despite their efforts to uncover inconsistencies, CCTV footage corroborates the brothers' version of events in the investigation.

Mirror Image – Part Two is the second and final instalment of a two‑part story that caps off Lynda La Plante’s newly announced five‑film series. The programme is presented as an episode within this broader collection, marking the conclusion of the narrative arc that began in the first part. In this episode the investigative team finds themselves pressed to uncover any weakness in the alibi put forward by the Delany brothers. Their efforts are hampered by the fact that CCTV recordings appear to corroborate the brothers’ version of events, leaving the detectives with little to challenge. The focus therefore remains on the tension between the team’s determination to expose a flaw and the solid visual evidence that backs the brothers’ story. As the final segment, it brings the series to a close with the investigators still grappling with the lack of contradictory proof. Ultimately, Part Two leaves the audience with the unresolved question of whether the detectives will ever locate a decisive inconsistency. The episode ends without a clear breakthrough, underscoring the challenge of overturning an alibi that is reinforced by indisputable CCTV footage. This unresolved tension serves as the closing note for La Plante’s five‑film venture, at least for the storyline centred on the Delany brothers.
