Убийство в заливе (сериал) Сезон 3 (2022)

With her family situation deteriorating, Jenn begins to consider moving out of her new partner, Chris' house, to much objection from him and her children. Shirin is questioned again and remains firm on that she doesn't know anything beyond seeing Saif depart through the back. Jenn suggests that the police look through Saif's friend list from his funeral and find someone who sticks out. She asks Erin, Chris' daughter, for help, who remarks that Molly's brother, Kyle, wasn't as close to Saif as he had claimed. Kyle attempts to escape as Jenn visits his family gathering. Both him and Saif's sparring partner Ritchie Ford's alibis begin to fracture as they’re both brought in for questioning, with Ritchie's blood being identified to have been inside Saif's phone. Kyle eventually buckles and explains that he had joined Ritchie to talk to Saif behind the club. Ritchie admits that his friendship with Saif had deteriorated and they had in effect become rivals. He had asked Shirin to lure Saif to the back of the gym so he could teach him a lesson, thinking him to be arrogant. Ritchie and Said fought while Kyle subsequently bludgeoned him to death. His father then arrived to help him get rid of the body, explaining the blood in the BMW's boot and its subsequent repainting at their garage. Following the investigation's closure, the Rahmans visit Adnan in prison, while Jenn decides for her and her children to stay with Chris and Erin.

Jenn searches frantically for her missing son, Conor, into the morning, when she finally decides to report him missing. She also steps away from the Rahman investigation until her son is found. It’s revealed that Conor went to his stepfather in Manchester, who immediately returns him to Morecambe. Conor gets to spend a day with him in order to cheer himself up. Kareem is brought in for questioning on the counts of fraud, but is later released on bail. Shazia also reveals the truth to Mariam, who refuses to believe that Saif would agree to it. Vince Morrison decides to close down his boxing club, to much protest from Pryce. Jamal informs Adnan about Kareem, who in turn reaches out to Jenn and gives Kareem an alibi for the night of Saif’s murder. With every person of interest ruled out, the investigation arrives to a standstill. Hope is renewed when Saif’s phone is analysed, with traces of blood found inside it. Manning puts Clarke in charge of starting from the beginning, starting with the last person to see Saif alive, Shirin Persaud.

Adnan calls an ambulance for Rooney while watching them treat him from afar. Manning focuses the investigation on the bookmakers for the boxing match. It’s also discovered that Saif’s odds fell rapidly just before the match. Clarke learns that Vinnie Morrison also betted on Saif, while an older woman reveals she was asked to bet against Saif by a middle aged Indian woman. Several more people give the same story, prompting Jenn to ask around in the family. Saif’s funeral is held and Adnan decides to reconcile with Jamal. Eddie Martin finds CCTV footage that puts holes in Kareem’s alibi, with him being absent for an hour before actually leaving work. Jenn learns from Kareem that he had purchased food before returning. DI Kate Radford leads the arrest on Adnan, straining Jenn’s standing for Mariam. In an act to redeem herself, she arranges a phone call with Adnan for her. Jenn questions Shazia, who explains that it was Kareem’s idea and that Saif agreed to it. Two of Rooney’s friends beat Jamal, but are fended off by Ray Conlon. Jenn receives alarming news that her son has gone missing.

Forensics reveal traces from a carpet on Saif. Manning has the team check the alibis of the people of interest in the case, including Adnan, Kareem and Ray Conlon. Adnan is checked out, but Manning remains bitter that he lied to the police, and Kareem and Conlon are also checked out. Post mortem also reveals that Saif had traces of steroids in his system, which Clarke and Eddie Martin confront his coach, Warren Pryce, about, but he denies any knowledge of it. A participant on the junior team, Shirin Persuad, explains that Saif seemed uneasy as he left the gym. The club manager, Vinnie Morrison, later decides to talk to the police, and shares his suspicions about Saif. Pryce later admits that he helped Saif with steroids, but that it was Saif’s idea. Manning and the team deduce a likely motive being pressure on Saif for an upcoming boxing match in Salford. Adnan decides to help his family, but his drunken mother berates him for failing to develop like Saif. The carpet traces found on Saif are later identified to belong to several car models, including a black BMW 5-Series with a white stripe seen in several security cameras. While clearing out a van, Adnan is confronted by Rooney. He manages to escape, but the two end up in a struggle. Adnan manages to get the upper hand and stabs Rooney with the knife he was armed with.

Townsend and Hobson face a family conflict when Jamal refuses to let Saif’s body go through post mortem. However, Adnan persuades them to accept it. The coroner concludes that Saif died of head injuries. Townsend faces another hurdle when her stepdaughter Erin is brought in as a witness to an argument between Saif and Molly at a party. She leaves herself out of the questioning, but observes it through the one way mirror. Molly identifies the people who were with Rooney, but they provide him with an alibi for the night Saif died. The police get a warrant to search the gym Saif went to, discovering his phone and traces of blood in the back. Manning learns that Adnan lied about his whereabouts, which Townsend learns was because he feared he wouldn’t be believed. Adnan later gets into a fight with Rooney at the Level club, and punches Townsend by accident. He manages to sneak away when the police apprehend Rooney, arriving at a makeshift memorial for Saif, which he vandalises in a fit of rage.
