- Synopsis
- TV Miniseries (2018). 4 Episodes. The body of a dead girl is found at Bulkya Docks, on the border between Beszel and Ul Qoma - two cities with a division like no other. Resident of the crumbling city of Beszel and Inspector of the Extreme Crime Squad, Tyador Borlú takes on the case, assisted by OFFICER LIZBYET CORWI. The girl's body was seen dumped on the wasteland by a yellow van, and DETECTIVE NAUSTIN presumes the girl must have been a hooker. Cases like this are run of the mill for Borlú, but he notices strange similarities to an old case. The body was found in an area with lots of cross-hatching with Ul Qoma. COMMISSAR GADLEM thinks this is a case for Breach - the secret police who ruthlessly patrol all cross-border crime. Gadlem thinks maybe someone else should take it on, and that maybe it's too personal for Borlú - But Borlú insists he can handle it. As Unificationists protest that Ul Qoma and Beszel should become one city, Borlú receives a call from someone who says she was friends with the dead girl...
