The Fall

Superintendent Stella Gibson (Gillian Anderson) is seconded to Belfast to supervise a 28-day review into the investigation of the death of Alice Monroe. A family man Paul Spector (Jamie Dornan) continues to stalk 30- something solicitor determined to make her his next victim, and a rogue reporter attempts to make a name for himself at Gibson's expense.

Gibson is made the permanent Senior Investigating Officer (SIO) of the investigation. Meanwhile, Spector hides the evidence of his latest crime in the cache located in the ceiling of his daughter's bedroom, whilst the children's 15-year-old babysitter, expresses her interest in him.

Gibson builds her team, whose investigation is now known as Operation Musicman. Gibson begins profiling the killer with her team. Meanwhile, Paul's wife Sally Ann, unaware of her husband's secret, becomes concerned about her daughter, who is having nightmares that threaten to reveal the killer's secret cache of murder paraphernalia.

My Adventurous Song Chief Inspector Matt Eastwood (Stuart Graham)'s investigation into DS Olson's death reveals the involvement of DI Breedlove (Michael McElhatton) with the Monroe family, forcing the latter to take drastic measures that drag Stella deeper into Internal Affairs investigations.

Gibson investigates a botched attack, bringing her a step closer to the killer. The investigation begins to focus on a single individual. Spector makes contact with Operation Musicman, revealing to Gibson details of his crimes, before leaving Belfast with his family to settle in Scotland.
