At the beginning of this episode we see a strange man knocking on a front door.

The man walked into the house and started to threaten the woman. He threatens to either kill both her and her child or she can safe her child’s life and get kidnapped herself. She chooses to get kidnapped.  This was the obvious choice as any mother would do this for her child. We the cut to the police station were we see Luther and his colleagues getting informed about the kidnapping and they try to work and solve investigations. We were then shown images from the house. There was writing covering the walls written in blood. Rose Teller then explains how this exact incident happen 10 years ago to a young girl names Grace Allen but the murderer, Lucien Burgess, had no evidence on him so couldn't be convicted. She tells Luther he is a psychopath and drains people’s blood and the disposes of their body so it can be found by the police.

Luther uses his intelligence to put the pieces together and work out were Kristin’s dead body could be. He then finds the body but ha no clear evidence to show it was Lucien so him and his assistance try to catch him in the act. The are able to do this and Lucien is then charged.
