Episode 4 is Titled “Safe”
Criminal Record Season 2 Episode 4 is officially titled “Safe.” The title likely hints at the growing danger around June Lenker. After the events of the first three episodes, June is getting closer to the truth about the escaped prisoner, Billy Fielding (Luther Ford) , and Hegarty’s involvement.
The first three episodes of Season 2 have already set up a complicated story. Episode 1, “Is It Him?” showed June at a protest that turned into a deadly riot. Episode 2, “Firestarters,” focused on the search for Fielding. Episode 3, “Snakes and Ladders,” premiered on May 6, 2026, and it deepened the conflict between June and her superiors.
At the end of Episode 3, June found herself in a very difficult position. She is trying to solve a murder and find a fugitive, but Hegarty is always one step ahead, making her job harder.
What to Expect in the Upcoming Episode
The story so far has put June Lenker at the center of a very dangerous investigation. A young boy was killed during a political protest, and June was the first officer on the scene. She recognized one of the rioters as Billy Fielding, a convicted murderer who had escaped from prison just hours before the riot.
Hegarty, who now works for police intelligence, has information about Fielding that he is not sharing. He offered June a deal: help him catch the escapee, and he will make the boy her main witness. But June does not trust Hegarty at all. Their history from Season 1 makes cooperation very difficult.
Episode 4, “Safe,” is likely to show June getting even closer to the truth. However, every time she makes progress, something bad happens to push her back. In Season 1, her car was set on fire. In Season 2, the pressure from her own department is getting stronger.
