新一季中，午夜莱特曼集团的经营似乎陷入最困难的时期，午夜集团与FBI的长期合作宣告终止，卡尔·莱特曼博士（蒂姆·罗素 Tim Roth 饰）签约的新书迟迟未能完成，面临对簿公堂的窘境，而这位拥有极高才华的天才博士和家人、同事之间的关系也变得颇为复杂。他与女儿艾米莉（海莉·麦可法兰德 Hayley McFarland 饰）相互依存，女儿有时会反抗父亲的强势，扮演着母亲的角色；他和吉莉安·福斯特（凯利·威廉姆斯 Kelli Williams 饰）的关系暧昧不清，相互试探，又颇显紧张。与此同时，各种各样棘手案件纷至沓来，银行抢劫案、文物展览会盗窃案、矿井爆炸案、宗教团体事件……无一不对莱特曼提出最严峻和最危险的考验。

回复 :Chandler and Miles attend the launch of Buchan's book on murders in Whitechapel where they are baffled by cryptic remarks made by an eccentric old lady Louise Iver. At the same time elderly vagrant Alexander Zukanov is lured to a house with strange markings on the wall where he is pressed to death, giving the name Dorothy Cade to his killer before he dies. Miles and Chandler visit Zukanov's doss-house and learn that the other occupants were frightened of him and regarded him as a warlock. Buchan confirms that he was a member of the Bulgarian secret service and Stella Knight from MI6 names him as having been an interrogator of former British spy Crispin Wingfield. Wingfield is questioned but released though he tells the police that the manner of Zukanov's death was a punishment for witches in the sixteenth century. Meanwhile Dorothy Cade, living with her sister Cecilia, is also murdered, burnt at the stake like a medieval witch.
