Wire in the Blood: Season 4

If clinical psychologist Dr. Tony Hill (Robson Green, The Last Musketeer, Like Father Like Son, Touching Evil) ever chooses to go off the rails, this might just be the time. In addition to his caseload of bone-chilling mysteries, Tony, as usual, goes beyond by-the-book in helping police in their detective work. In these four episodes, he finds himself profiling and nabbing vicious killers in Northern England alongside Bradfield's new Detective Inspector, Alex Fielding (Simone Lahbib, Monarch of the Glen, Taggart). Conflicted by his job and his abilities, the fanatical psychologist is also dealing with an old flame, the loss of a patient, as well as the fear his tumor has returned. It's enough to send Tony straight to the edge. But will he jump? As seen on BBC America.

Time to Murder and Create - Tony Hill is discredited when a rapist convicted on the basis of a forensic psychological profile is released on appeal. He offers to assist an investigation into the murder of a body found buried in a field but new DI Alex Fielding doesn't want him anywhere near the case, until it appears that a sadistic serial killer is at large.

Torment - A prostitute is murdered and the m.o. matches that of a convicted serial killer. Tony Hill tries to get answers from the convict, who has been diagnosed as schizophrenic and who refuses to cooperate. Things get worse when DC Paula McIntyre is kidnapped by the killer.

Hole in the Heart - When Tony saves student Kurt from leaping to his death, he wonders why someone might want to take their own life. Meanwhile a businessman and his accountant die in a horrible fire. These are not the last pair of corpses found in Bradfield and Alex finds herself turning to Tony for help.

Wounded Surgeon - When Jason Eglee comes up for parole, Tony's first case with the police comes back to haunt him. After the discovery of a girl was murdered in the same circumstances as Eglee's former victim, Tony has no doubt that Eglee is starting a new spree. Tony's confidence begins to crumble and Alex decides she can no longer permit him to work for the police.
