The Masterpiece Mystery! cold-case crime drama returns with lead detective Cassie Stuart (Nicola Walker) counting the days until retirement.
But the next day, when Cassie interviews him, Dean also has a flashback, to a violent incident of someone getting badly beaten. Talk about never knowing what someoneâs capable of! Dean at least admits to remembering Fogerty, but not much else about the night in question. He also had the shortest law enforcement career of the quartet, lasting just a few weeks on the job.
We also see two very different sides to Ram (Phaldut Sharma), the other senior police officer in the group.
