The Well

S01E05 The Game

The detectives remain trapped in Shermantine’s twisted game, unable to move forward without cooperation from the killer himself. Can they ever win? Sergeant Jimenez and her team take an unexpected, controversial step, hoping to uncover information that might lead to more victims. What they find offers a rare glimpse into a serial killer’s mind—but jeopardizes their already fragile relationship with him. That relationship was badly damaged by the department’s failed well dig in 2012, which now comes into sharp focus alongside corruption allegations that plagued the former sheriff and contributed to his removal from office.
