Shetland

Perez is on the trail of an attacker, Tosh investigates an oil company in the hunt for Sally’s killer, and DNA testing in the Kilmuir case yields a surprising result, as murder-mystery Shetland continues.

Tosh is met with a wall of silence when she attempts to meet with Først Energy, the oil company Sally was investigating for corporate manslaughter before her death. When she then discovers Først’s Health and Safety officer Andreas Hagan disappeared the morning after Sally’s murder, he quickly becomes their number one suspect.

Meanwhile, Alan Killick’s alibi for Sally’s murder doesn’t hold up and his sarcastic protestations of innocence raise questions about whether he was involved in the attack on Malone. Perez’s unease grows when step-daughter Cassie, encouraged by her biological father Duncan, starts volunteering at the Killick’s wildlife sanctuary, run by Alan’s mother, Donna.

Sandy goes through evidence from the Kilmuir case and finds a potential lead on Malone’s attack - Benny Ray, star witness in the Kilmuir case and a police informant for Drew McColl.

Tosh and Perez search Hagan’s property in search of evidence connecting him and his company to murder victim Sally. When police in Norway provide a lead on his whereabouts, Bergen beckons for Tosh.

In Lerwick, Perez is shocked when DNA on the scarf used to kill Lizzie Kilmuir two decades ago throws up a surprising local connection.

Perez is played by Douglas Henshall, Tosh by Alison O’Donnell, Malone by Stephen Walters, Alan Killick by Gerard Miller, Duncan by Mark Bonnar, Cassie by Erin Armstrong, Donna Killick by Fiona Bell, Sandy by Steven Robertson, Benny Ray by Michael Moreland and Drew McColl by Sean McGinley.
