Episode list

Marissa Bridge has only had a premonition twice in her life: one was on the day in 1981 that she met "Mr. Apology." As posters for the Apology Line appear all over New York City, callers start to leave messages that confess their deepest secrets and darkest fears. Mr Apology quickly realizes he will have to do more than just sit back and listen.

Even as Allan reckons with a frightening threat, he continues to engage with callers in ways he hadn't previously imagined. A regular cast of characters forms on the Line. From this sea of voices one caller named "Richie" emerges and pulls Allan in even deeper, much to Marissa's dismay.

Richie details his murders and answers Allan's many questions on the Line. Allan wants to keep Richie talking. He wants to use the Apology Line as a space to reform and study violent criminals.

Richie is back and Allan is in over his head this time. Help comes in the form of Detective Ray Pierce. Together they devise a plan to find out who Richie really is.

With Richie gone from his life, Allan must reinvent himself and the Line. The community around the Line grows, while being married to Mr Apology becomes ever more challenging.

Allan's death is like an atomic bomb going off in Marissa's life. She's left to make sense of his life, and his life's work. And twenty five years later, Marissa learns the truth about what happened to Richie.

Marissa talks to long time callers and listeners about the making of Apology Line then and now and what the making of this series has meant to her.
