In Part Two, we pick up with the murder of Mary Docherty—the killing that unraveled Burke and Hare's deadly operation. We follow the investigation, the discovery of crucial evidence, and the arrests that shocked Edinburgh. We also examine the trials, William Hare's controversial immunity deal, William Burke's execution, and the lasting impact this case had on medicine, anatomy laws, and criminal justice.

Listener discretion is advised.
