The first episode of Vigil<\/a> season 2 has now aired on BBC One and iPlayer, introducing us to the new case for this season and ending on a nail-biting cliffhanger.<\/p>\n At the start of the opener, we were introduced to Alastair Mackenzie\u2019s <\/a>character<\/a>, wing commander Anthony Chapman, and his daughter <\/span>Sabiha.<\/p>\n Chapman tells Sabiha to pack a bag, before informing Eliza Russell that he has cancer, and so will be taking a leave of absence from the air force. Russell is left as acting squadron leader.<\/p>\n Later in the episode, when a British military drone, known as an Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems\u00a0(RPAS), turns on British soldiers and kills a number of them, everyone who had access to control the RPASs becomes a suspect.<\/p>\n Suranne Jones\u2019s DCI Amy Silva and Rose Leslie\u2019s DS Kirsten Longacre<\/a> are called on to investigate, and diagnostics later reveal that Chapman had seemingly taken control of the RPAS.<\/p>\n Using GPS tracking, they manage to find Chapman\u2019s location, travelling there to arrest their prime suspect.<\/p>\n An armed team enter the house where Chapman and his daughter are believed to have been staying, but neither are in sight. Then, they find one of them.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Chapman\u2019s body, with a bullet wound in his head, is discovered just outside the property, seemingly ruling him out as the person ultimately responsible.<\/p>\n Amy and Kirsten head into the woods outside the property, and find Sabiha calling for help. However, they soon realise they\u2019re not alone, and Chapman\u2019s killer is still in the surrounding area.<\/p> Just at that moment, a man wearing a balaclava and holding a rifle approaches. Amy tells Kirsten and Sabiha to run, and as the man shoots, the episode cuts to the credits.<\/p>\n It was a startling opening to this new season, which is sure to leave fans on tenterhooks for the next episode. Thankfully, the first three are available to stream now on BBC iPlayer.<\/p> ![\"Rose](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2021\/08\/rose-leslie-2052d83.jpg?quality=90&resize=619%2C413\" "\\"Vigil\\"\/")
