'The Blame' ends with DI Emma Crane discovering that the colleague she trusted most is Sophie's killer. In the final episode of the ITV thriller, it is revealed that DI Tom Radley was directly responsible for Sophie Madsen's death, after she uncovered evidence linking tech specialist Neil Shergill to a pattern of sexual assaults.
The six-part series, starring Michelle Keegan as Emma Crane and Douglas Booth as DI Tom Radley, initially appears to point towards tech specialist Neil Shergill as the culprit. But the finale reveals that Sophie's death was connected to a more complex web of police misconduct, cover-ups and moral compromise.
