In episode 1 of A Confession season 1, the audience is introduced to Steve Fulcher, a detective in Wiltshire, England. The episode picks up in 2011 and follows the case of Sian O'Callaghan, a 22-year-old woman who went missing after a night out with friends.

Through interviews with coworkers and friends, detectives discover that Sian was last seen leaving the night club alone and getting into a taxi. The taxi driver is identified, but claims he dropped her off at 3:30am at a location she had requested. When detectives investigate the area, they discover Sian's abandoned shoe.

While canvassing the area for CCTV footage, Detective Fulcher notices a car with damage to the front bumper in a parking lot. He runs the license plate and discovers that the car belongs to Christopher Halliwell, a local taxi driver.

Detective Fulcher decides to bring Halliwell in for questioning, but Halliwell is uncooperative. As Halliwell continues to stonewall, Fulcher becomes increasingly concerned for Sian's safety and decides to take a risky step - he leads Halliwell to believe that he knows more than he does. Fulcher claims that Sian's phone has been tracked to Halliwell's home, which is untrue, in an attempt to get him to reveal the location of Sian's body.

Halliwell eventually confesses to the murder of Sian and takes Detective Fulcher to the location where he buried her body. However, Halliwell also reveals a second murder - that of Becky Godden-Edwards.

The episode ends with Detective Fulcher and his team investigating the second murder and grappling with the ethical implications of Fulcher's approach in obtaining Halliwell's confession to the first murder. Fulcher finds himself suspended from duty and facing grave consequences for his actions.

Overall, the first episode of A Confession sets the tone for the series by presenting a tense and emotionally charged investigation. It also raises important ethical questions about the limits of law enforcement and the balance between justice and due process. Viewers are left on edge, wondering what will happen next to Detective Fulcher and the investigation of these two horrific crimes.
