Убийство в заливе (сериал) Сезон 2 (2021)

The Russian, Viktor Zima, admits to killing Stephen. He further explains that he was paid by a man in his 20s–40s in a bar. Further investigation reveals that man is Frank Mercer, who, along with Grace, Rose and Mark Marshbrook, are brought in for further questioning. Grace reveals that she got her job at the scrapyard via Rose, who had put in a good word with Mercer. Rose reveals that she was having an affair with Mercer, but that she never would leave Stephen. She also explains that Frank had ideas of them and Oliver moving away, something she brands as a fantasy on his side. Mercer admits to ordering the hit on Stephen during questioning and that he had urged Rose to break up with Stephen. While Mercer is charged for ordering the hit on Stephen, Rose is issued a caution after admitting having made the suspicious transactions at Bradwell and Marshbrook. After some convincing, she decides to testify regarding the company's documents. Lisa's mother, Penny, makes a discovery about Andy, which she confronts him about. It's revealed that he had remarried and fathered another child after moving away from Morecambe. But instead of being willing to explain it to Rob and Abbie, he decides to leave Morecambe.

Bill Bradwell is brought in for questioning regarding Breakwater and Comber Development, and that the deals were signed knowing what they regarded. Manning confronts Bradwell with papers signed by him that acknowledges Liam Spoldon as Breakwater's CEO, despite the fact that the real Spoldon died sixteen years ago. Bradwell expresses disapproval of how the papers were obtained, causing his attorney to end the questioning. Bradwell then tells the family that the law firm was in trouble and he had to take desperate measures to save it. He also explains that he kept Mark out of the loop to save him. In a desperate attempt to legally clarify the document's usage from Lyn Chee's flash drive, Lisa attempts to convince her to testify anonymously about the documents, but she refuses. Rob's friend, Josh, confesses that he has feelings for him. Manning attempts to drink away his sorrow, due to his wife wanting a divorce; and the man with the distinctive tattoo is arrested in Manchester.

Paramedics declare Med dead on scene, and Manning places Lisa in charge as family liaison to the Marshbrook family. The team are forced to accept the help of a new unit from the Greater Manchester Police, who conducts their own investigation into Med's death while the team continues the investigation into the Marshbrook case. The team's investigation dig deeper into who the mystery woman Stephen Marshbrook met at a hotel, with members conducting a surveillance operation until she shows up. The mystery woman turns out to be Madeleine Hookway, who reveals that Oliver is her son. The investigation further uncovers that Hookway had been discredited as a terrible mother, and that Stephen had taken care of Oliver's birth certificate. Jamie Marshbrook turns up explaining that he and his boyfriend just needed time away from Morecambe. Jamie is also questioned about his apparent presence in Morecambe despite the claim he was still abroad until Stephen's death.

As the team press on with the investigation, Lisa and Med dig deeper into the family and discover not all relationships with the victim were amicable. Lisa reluctantly lets her ex-husband Andy back into her and her children's lives, with protest from her mother. Questioning of Cassie finally leads to her revealing that she never met the man who had asked her to deliver the gun, and that she had received the orders over the phone. When family recollections of Stephen Marshbrook don't add up, Lisa returns to question his daughter, Grace, who notably reveals she took the blame for a car theft that Jamie actually had committed, and that she had been ordered to do by her father to protect Jamie's record. Med investigates unused housing properties after a lead discovered by Lisa. They all share a common owner, Breakwater, which one construction worker reveals no knowledge of, other than orders to barricade a building's windows. Simultaneously as Lisa, Bill Bradwell and Rose Marshbrook discover that Jamie has gone missing, Med is hit by a vehicle and left seriously injured.

Lisa is determined to ignore her ex-husband Andy's unexpected arrival the night before and throws herself into the case, uncovering a significant lead from her sole eyewitness. Oliver reveals he saw a boy on a bike leaving the scene before the shooting happened. The alleged boy is later revealed to actually be a girl, Cassie, who was tasked with delivering the gun and retrieve it afterwards. When brought in, she refuses to give up information while also berating the police. Lisa and her children attempt to shield themselves from her ex-husband, who manages to talk to Rob and a reluctant Abbie. The investigation reveals that Stephen Marshbrook had hired an accountant, Chris McGregor, to investigate some suspicious transactions. McGregor also reveals that Marshbrook had suspected it was someone in his own family who was responsible.

After dealing with the consequences of the case involving the missing twins from last year, the now Detective Constable Lisa Armstrong is brought back into the fold to assist with the murder investigation in Morecambe of prominent solicitor Stephen Marshbrook. Marshbrook was murdered at his own doorstep with his 10-year-old son Oliver being the sole witness. Facing trauma from his experience, Oliver is too traumatised to talk, and is looked after by social care. The investigation turns to the family law firm, in which Lisa suspects everything is not as it seems. Early clues, including CCTV footage, point the police in the direction of a black van with stolen vehicle number plates. Eventually recovering from his trauma, Oliver draws a tattoo depicting a bird with two heads which he saw the killer have on his arm. Abbie gets a job at a local restaurant, and Lisa's ex-husband Andy reappears in Morecambe.
