S14E6 - Zombie Knives
An investigation into the epidemic of knife crime violence that left 97 young people murdered in 2025, 17 of whom were under the age of 16. Part of the problem is the zombie-style knives and swords, which were finally banned from being sold in 2024. The documentary reveals how two brothers, Adam and Eddy Eliaz, made it their business to run companies importing and selling blades, and tells the stories of Ashraf Habimana, Omar Khan and Ronan Kanda - all murdered by children with zombie-style knives that they'd bought online.

S14E7 - Burying Horror
The inside story of the investigation into one of the country's worst serial paedophiles, who is currently serving a life sentence for his crimes. After Carson Grimes was convicted of abusing nine children in 2021, Bedfordshire Police received a flood of new reports of his crimes - and officers soon realised the scale and extent of criminality was far greater than they had feared.
