Silent Witness Season 9 Episode 1

Ghosts (1)

Leo receives news that his wife and daughter have been killed in a car accident. He travels back to Sheffield, but is not allowed to do their autopsies, so requests that Harry comes to do them. Nikki is called to the river where the bodies of two unidentified women have been found, apparently shot execution style. There is something suspicious about them, and the investigating officer is being very evasive. After the post-mortem Harry uncovers that there was another man in the car that killed Leo's family. He was Armstrong, a man involved in a Sheffield gang. The two women in the river had been undercover cops, infiltrating the gang, and had obviously had their cover blown and been executed. Leo finds Armstrong's body. He discovers he was part of some big identity crime rings and sets out to clear the case up. He finds another member of the gang who's been beaten up. Disillusioned, she sings like a bird, and Leo tracks down the crime boss who killed his wife and child.
