Former elite homicide chief investigator Péter Doszpot and consulting psychologist Gábor Antal team up for an exclusive night diving into the dark logic of serial killers. Who are they, really? What fuels their cruel, bizarre actions? Can a psychopath change? What skills do detectives need to track them down? Do offenders slip up and help their own capture? Through film clips and true cases from notorious 20th‑century and contemporary investigations in Hungary and abroad, they show how policing and psychology intertwine. Do childhood traumas shape killers? What does science say versus field experience? Two experts, two viewpoints, one unforgettable evening.
