Detective Superintendent Stella Gibson (Golden Globe® winner Gillian Anderson, The X-Files) and serial killer Paul Spector (Jamie Dornan, Fifty Shades of Grey) continue their cat-and-mouse game as the "harrowing yet riveting" (The Independent, UK) psychological thriller comes to a heart-pounding conclusion. Following the shocking events of Series 2, Spector lies in the hospital in critical condition. But when he awakes, he seems to be suffering from memory loss and claims he doesn't remember committing any murders. Determined to make Spector pay for his crimes, Gibson compiles evidence against him, but she faces opposition from her superiors and a formidable defense team that accuses her of an inappropriate relationship with Spector. With the odds now stacked against Gibson, will Spector ever see justice? "Relentlessly original, consistently gripping" (The Guardian, UK), this critically acclaimed drama also stars Colin Morgan (Merlin, Humans) and John Lynch (In the Name of the Father).
Gibson watches over Spector as he undergoes emergency surgery for gunshot wounds. Spector's latest victim, Rose Stagg, also recovers in the same hospital, along with DS Anderson. Meanwhile, Gibson and Burns try to fend off the media.
Burns and his superiors decide to give Spector's name to the media, and Gibson faces opposition from Burns before her interview with the policing executive about the shooting. Katie lashes out, and Spector's daughter grows more curious about what happened to her father.
Having found Spector's lock-up, Gibson reads through his journals, considering the possibility that there may be as many as nine more murders. Still recovering in the hospital, Spector seems to be suffering from long-term memory loss.
Despite Gibson's warnings to her superiors, Spector's wife and children are involved in a nearly tragic incident. Spector meets with his defense team before being moved from the hospital to a psychiatric clinic.
To her discomfort, Gibson's dream journal is released to Spector's defense team. Spector's psychiatric team evaluates his fitness to stand trial, and Katie appears in court for violating her bail conditions.
Now squarely in the frame for another murder, Spector recounts the night Susan Harper died to both his defense team and the police. After a shockingly violent incident, doubts surface about the veracity of Spector's amnesia.
