In this episode, Tom and Simon engage in a lively discussion recorded at different times due to their geographical locations—Scotland and Australia. They start with a light-hearted exchange about challenges related to time zones and move on to discuss different crime cases that the deep dive team worked on this week.

Specific cases such as the Ruxton Murders and the Tylenol cyanide contamination case are discussed in detail, exploring the impacts and the human stories behind them. Tom also shares personal anecdotes, including meeting a nurse who draws comfort from spiritual experiences and his own struggles following the death of his daughter. The episode talks about balancing the sensitivities of victims' families with the needs of justice and public information. Additionally, both hosts reminisce about motorbike trips and reveal their mutual interest in history and culture. They conclude the episode by discussing the importance of not letting historical biases impact ongoing investigations and highlighting the evolution of modern policing, aided by anecdotes from their own careers.
