In the first episode of The Tunnel, viewers are introduced to detective Karl Roebuck, a man who loves his job and takes it very seriously. When a body is found in the middle of the Channel Tunnel, he is called in to investigate alongside his French counterpart, Elise Wassermann. Elise is much more reserved and distant, but she is just as dedicated to solving the case as Karl is.
As the two detectives work together, it quickly becomes apparent that this is no ordinary murder. The body is cut in half, with one half left in France and the other in England. This leads Karl and Elise to realize that they are dealing with a serial killer who is targeting victims in both countries.
As they continue their investigation, they are forced to work together despite their differences in order to catch the killer before he strikes again. However, their task is made all the more difficult as they must navigate the complex politics of working across borders and dealing with different legal systems.
Meanwhile, the killer continues to taunt the detectives, leaving cryptic messages and clues that seem to suggest he is always one step ahead of them. As the tension builds, the detectives must race against the clock to solve the case before more lives are lost.
Overall, the first episode of The Tunnel sets the stage for a gripping murder mystery that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. With complex characters, intricate plot twists, and a hauntingly realistic portrayal of the investigation process, this show is sure to captivate audiences from start to finish.
