Episode 3

Mervin and the team are left perplexed when a reclusive pensioner is shot dead in his home. A prime suspect is quickly established in the form of an unassuming accountant. The evidence seems damning – a figure matching the suspect's description was witnessed fleeing the crime scene. And when questioned, there's clearly something shifty about this guy. The only problem? He's got a rock-solid alibi.

Meanwhile, the commissioner is determined to get the islanders back on side with a community-focused initiative. But tensions rise when Mervin goes rogue during the launch event.
