As the authorities assemble the plane wreckage, Karl returns to the Criminal Investigation Division from PPU. Olivier informs Elise that the plane was likely hacked, but tells her not to divulge this for the time being. Chloë recalls overhearing Robert say, "I told you – not the kid", leaving Karl and Elise to ponder the context of the phrase. Meanwhile, Robert sends Thibaut Briand to "Fun Faith Friends", an interfaith meet-up between British and French Christians, Jews and Muslims in Calais, to kill one member from each faith. On arrival, Thibaut immediately shoots and kills a priest and a rabbi, and after some difficulty locating a Muslim, eventually kills Aamira, a teenage girl. Back in England, Karl and Boleslaw "BB" Borowski find out that the burned van had been stolen. They trace credit card charges to an oil depot, where an employee gives out a detailed description of a female suspect.

Karl and BB trace Rosa's movements to a shack, where they find Madeleine's body. The search leads to Singapore Fiscal Management, a company that owns the land. Elise's colleagues search offices in Calais where they find Rosa and Thibaut, capturing Rosa following a shootout. Laura Roebuck suspects she is being stalked because of her tweets condemning a politician who supports fracking. Immigration officers arrest a Georgian woman, Olena Bahkia, in Dover; she carries a passport that features the same key as several other passports in the plane's wreckage. One of the victims was a Polish detective who went to the UK to expose a human trafficking ring.

Olena's death is ruled as a suicide, but Karl believes she was pushed. The detectives also find a link between Singapore Fiscal Management and Vanessa Hamilton. Olena having told Karl that her abductor smoked cheroots, Karl suspects Hamilton when BB tells him she was smoking one during questioning. Karl and Elise question Rosa, who initially remains silent, but Elise manages to get under her skin by mentioning her mother's sexual relationship with Robert. In her anger, Rosa implies that Robert's group will target her father at Lille University. That turns out to be a diversion so that Thibaut can storm the police station, with racist officer Garrido as an inside man, in an attempt to break Rosa free. With the sooner-than-expected arrival of armed back-up, Garrido is ordered to execute wounded fellow officer Julie, but he fires above her head. Rosa and Thibaut take hostages and demand Karl and Elise be brought to them. Elise comes into the office alone, and Rosa assaults her for taunting her. Olivier sends in armed officers who shoot both hostage takers. Julie narrowly survives her injuries and is taken to intensive care, where the guilt-ridden Garrido shoots himself, leaving a note for Elise.

Karl and Elise find a link between the dead Polish detective and Gregor Baturin, an imprisoned Georgian arms dealer. His son Artem/"Koba" is sheltering Robert. They also discover that other victims of the plane crash were linked with Baturin, though not Eryka Klein, who had failed to board the fateful flight due to her missing passport. Eryka goes for drinks with Elise, where she confirms that she grew up with her twin brother in Chile's notorious Colonia Dignidad, and that she had been sexually abused there. Karl relentlessly pursues the truth, prompting Bowden to hand Karl a drive on Vanessa Hamilton's case revealing that Hamilton is an MI5 informant with ties to Baturin's organisation. Hamilton finds herself on the run when a van of men arrive outside her home. Robert escapes from Artem when he discovers he will not be allowed to brag to the world about crashing the plane. He is quickly recaptured by Artem and sent to a sadistic modern Nazi, "The Chemist", who once lived at Colonia Dignidad.

Laura and Karl make their peace. Eryka initiates sex with Elise after learning that Gael, Elise's sometime boyfriend, has left her. Artem negotiates his father's early release from prison and meets with Eryka, revealing that she is indeed his accomplice. Karl learns the identity of "The Chemist", Dr Edgar Branco, and his ties to Baturin’s organisation. Elise’s team discover that Eryka purchased the phone used to hack into the downed plane’s autopilot. When Elise suggests this is meaningless, Karl realises that Elise has romantic feelings for Eryka. She reacts defensively but agrees to look at the evidence. That night, Karl and Laura are awoken by their dog’s barking; carbon monoxide has leaked into their house. Thinking it was an attempt to kill him, Karl re-enters his house after sending his family to hospital and, knowing that MI5 are listening, tells them that he will never walk away from the investigation.

Karl confronts MI5 agent Neil Grey, who assures him that the carbon monoxide leak wasn't planned. Grey asks him not to arrest Artem/"Koba" for the plane crash, because Artem is using "The Chemist", who poses a major threat to national security, as leverage for his father Gregor. Eryka escapes after telling Elise that Eryka assisted in the plane crash and that she has no feelings for her. When Gregor dies of a heart attack, Artem assumes duplicity by MI5 and plans revenge. Evidence leads Karl and Elise to "The Chemist," but Artem's men capture them. When Eryka hears Artem order "The Chemist" to kill them with a deadly plague, she alerts MI5 in order to save Elise. Moments after "The Chemist" injects a pathogen into Elise's eye, police storm the apartment. Elise is rushed to hospital. Grey summarily executes "The Chemist." Karl and Olivier arrest Artem as he boards a helicopter. Grey helps Eryka onto the helicopter as payment for leading them to both "Koba" and "The Chemist." Karl tells the recovering Elise that information about the plane's hacking will be suppressed to avoid panic, but Artem will face justice. Elise later dreams of Eryka returning to her.

Karl Roebuck and Elise Wasserman investigate events linked to the Pied Piper legend: a boat in mid-Channel is set on fire but refugee children aboard are missing; a maintenance worker is attacked by rats in the Tunnel; and three children from the middle-class Kent home of the Carvers are abducted. The missing refugee children are found drugged in the Carver children's beds. Karl and BB investigate the boat and find an injured man, Behar Dibra, a French trafficker. Karl's new boss, Winnie Miles, shunts the case to the French authorities. Elise had decided to voluntarily step down (due to events in Series 2) and was replaced by Commander Astor Chaput. She is concerned how Astor manipulates a task force to reduce crime statistics, which falsely makes him look more efficient. She investigates the rat attack. Jacques Moreau is in jail for his son's murder. The son, Charlie Moreau, turns up alive when Karl and Elise investigate a children's hostel run by Betti Baudin. Charlie is recognised by Elise, who had arrested Jacques eight years earlier. Elise tells Karl she has bruxism and is losing teeth; her dentist recommended she see a therapist.

Jacques is released from jail. The team analyse a video posted by the Pied Piper: they are ordered to find Saban Khasanović. BB goes to Calais to liaise with the French police. Saban was a child, taken as a trafficking victim, during the Bosnian conflict in the mid-1990s. Elise finds a toy car on Behar's boat, which leads to an immigration removal centre. The Carver children are found in a laundry basket, sedated but otherwise okay. Anton Stokes and his sister, Kiki, were close after being abandoned by their suicidal mother as children. Kiki is pregnant by her abrasive partner, Blake Jenkins. Anton and Lana Khasanović are lovers. Five men are lured to a flesh show: Lana dances (a solo version of danse macabre) wearing a gas mask. The men are drugged, told to strip, forced to watch a murder, and subjected to torture including having numbers branded on their rumps. Lawrence Taylor, a call centre worker, appears in embarrassing viral videos; he is labelled the "DonutNut". The videos were hacked from his computer, but he is sacked from his job. He trolled others to sow racism, sexism and xenophobia. BB and his French counterpart, Louise, investigate rat suppliers potentially used by the Pied Piper. Karl's mother-in-law, Celeste, arrives to look after Maya and encounters Elise, who is staying over.

One of the danse macabre victims, Wesley Pollinger ("the Labourer"), is an immigration lawyer who had refused to help Lana. He was released naked, distressed, and confused. Another victim is Blake ("the King"), who has repeatedly neglected and lied to Kiki. Winnie is sent a live rat; a note provides the location of an underground chamber where the danse macabre victims had been held. Photos show the victims as representing the wrongs of society. Aside from Wesley and Lawrence, the photos are Father Francis Paine ("the Pope"), Anton's local priest; Saban ("the Child"), Lana's lost son; and Gary Green ("the Soldier"), her former boss at a meat works. The chamber leads to Lawrence's mutilated, dead body with parts missing. Francis is found hanged. Gary claims he never went but his meat works are shut down and tested for human remains. Elise tests the drug on herself, with Karl safeguarding her. She determines that Wesley lied about not remembering; Wesley now reveals more details. BB and Louise follow victims of the DonutNut's trolling including Anton, which leads to Blake. The pair later encounter Lana at a sea-side caravan park, but BB is seriously injured: she bayonets him and then rolls him off a cliff.

Karl posts a message to Lana there and later sets up a meeting. Karl and Elise interview Edith Dutheil, who ran a children's home; she remembers Saban but tells them he died soon after leaving. Elise continues to investigate Charlie's case despite being warned off by Astor. She reconstructs Charlie's disappearance, with Jacques along, to help the boy remember. Anton accesses Lana's WotM page, sees Karl's message, and trails him. Karl removes a knitted jacket from the evidence locker. Edith warns restaurateur Jean-Marc Sargent that police are looking for his (adoptive) son, François Sargent (the adult Saban). Charlie remembers following a cat to a man in front of Hôtel L'Écrin. Karl is concerned about Elise's continuance with Charlie's case and phones her former boss, Olivier. Karl meets Lana at a dance hall, where he hands over the jacket and tells her Saban died. Anton sends her a message to say it's a trap, he rejoins Lana and they run off together. Astor suspends Elise over the re-enactment: she argues with Karl and that disputes his friendship as interfering in her life.

Karl searches for Elise and trails the Pied Pipers, Anton and Lana, to the missing truck. Lana remains in their car. Anton watches from above and phones Karl's mobile. Karl finds Elise near the meat truck locked into a collar bomb. She warns him not to get closer. Talking to Anton, Karl is directed to a bomb switch. He tells Anton that Saban is found alive, so there is no reason for the people to die. Anton does not tell Lana, wanting to force Karl to choose between saving Elise or the 11 gassing victims. When Karl has difficulty deciding whom to save, Elise explodes the bomb, killing herself and opening the truck. Karl is then in a car chase, in which the Pied Pipers are attempting to run off a cliff to their deaths. Karl rams their car and explains to Lana that Saban is alive. She shoots and kills Anton. Hôtel L'Écrin was a front for a paedophile ring, which took Charlie and was protected by paying off Astor's father, Josef. Astor arrests his father and resigns. Later, Karl visits Lana in prison, but does not meet with Saban. He gives her photos of him as François, growing up with his adoptive parents. In the final scene, Karl and Laura have now reconciled. While walking through a fun house mirror maze, Karl sees Elise's image, smiling for the first time.
