Copycat killers are terrorizing London, and it’ll take everything these officers have to keep history from repeating.
Don’t miss an all new episode of WHITECHAPEL *** Wednesday November 23 at 10/9c *** as East London is rocked by the emergence of a series of new horrific attacks — attacks which appear to echo the infamous Kray Twins’ crimes of the 1960s.
This week, with no leads to go on, a frustrated DS Miles (Phil Davis, Bleak House) informs DI Chandler (Rupert Penry-Jones, MI-5) that the copycat killer has struck again, as a man called Billy Bunhill is shot dead in a former Kray haunt. A barmaid offers up a name: Jimmy Kray. The team is stunned when an interview with Jimmy’s mother, Angie Brooks, reveals a former relationship with Ronnie Kray which resulted in identical twins — Jimmy and Johnny.
The team focus on the twins, finding that they are genuine criminals, although DCI Cazenove (Peter Serafinowicz, Running Wilde) believes them to be nothing but small time thugs. But Chandler insists on pursuing the twins, realizing in the process that he can no longer trust anyone — even his colleagues. And not even informant Jack Cheshire seems able to help Chandler.
But when a suggestion from Edward Buchan (Steve Pemberton, The League of Gentlemen) to meet the twins results in a massive shoot out, is there any way that Chandler will be able to bring down the Krays?
