WEBVTT 00:01:37.320 --> 00:01:39.400 See? Impossible. 00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:44.000 The humble toilet is actually an awe-inspiring feat of design. 00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:47.000 Its dimensions mean that a person can't submerge 00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.160 their own nose and mouth. Which is why, 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.040 in spite of the fact that thousands of people overindulge every weekend 00:01:53.080 --> 00:01:55.360 and end up staring into a toilet bowl, 00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:58.600 the ones who drown are more than just unlucky. 00:02:01.720 --> 00:02:03.760 They end up dead... 00:02:03.800 --> 00:02:08.160 ..because somebody wants them dead. 00:02:22.760 --> 00:02:26.080 You've got er...gel or something. 00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:28.120 It's Toilet Duck. 00:02:28.160 --> 00:02:30.360 We definitely made it real for the jury. 00:02:32.920 --> 00:02:34.920 Are you all right, Mrs Harding? 00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:38.400 Stone changed his plea to guilty after hearing your evidence. 00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:41.680 So Katie didn't die because she were drunk. 00:02:41.720 --> 00:02:43.720 And now everybody knows it. 00:02:44.720 --> 00:02:46.720 Heal well, Mrs Harding. 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:52.280 Truth matters. 00:02:52.320 --> 00:02:55.640 So it's a cold case? It's not a cold case, it's a review. 00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:57.800 I didn't have my lanyard - he mistook me for a student. 00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.240 Can you believe that? Have you put faddy milk in this? 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:02.880 Dairy is literally killing the planet, Wolfe. 00:03:02.920 --> 00:03:05.080 I know, I just... How do you even milk an almond? 00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.080 We're doing a review. 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.200 Mm! Of what? 00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:12.480 Regina v Barnette. 00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:17.080 Barnette? Is that Fay Barnette? 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:19.240 Who's that? 00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:21.280 Wolfe? 00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:24.280 Hello? 00:03:24.320 --> 00:03:28.280 Fay Barnette is Dominique's mum. We're re-examining her case. 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:32.760 Dominique doesn't deserve that! 00:03:33.760 --> 00:03:36.360 She lied her way in here, so she could stalk you. 00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.920 She's basically Glenn Close in a forensics suit! 00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.480 - She had her reasons. - And she shagged Steve under false pretences. 00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:47.840 Those were probably some of the best shags of Steve's life! 00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.880 How can you forgive her easier than you can forgive him? 00:03:51.920 --> 00:03:55.080 Because she has been motivated by a deep-seated sense of... 00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:58.600 injustice and loss, whereas he was motivated by his knob! 00:03:58.640 --> 00:04:00.960 Lift going up. 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.280 Could you not stare at me in stereo? It's disconcerting. 00:04:03.320 --> 00:04:06.080 You know I always back you - on the big stuff. 00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:08.240 But please don't do this. 00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:13.360 Dominique believes - genuinely believes - we got it wrong. Doors opening. 00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:16.600 We've got to let her discover otherwise. What if we did get it wrong? 00:04:16.640 --> 00:04:19.800 Imagine telling that mother this morning that the scumbag 00:04:19.840 --> 00:04:22.320 who drowned her daughter is out on appeal 00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:24.720 because you have been struck off. 00:04:24.760 --> 00:04:26.840 That's not going to happen. OK? Why?! 00:04:26.880 --> 00:04:30.280 Go on, we have a crime scene to get to. I'll be there in a minute. 00:04:33.320 --> 00:04:35.400 A crime scene. 00:04:35.440 --> 00:04:38.640 He's manic, right? He's back on his meds. 00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:41.320 You think actively helping someone look for flaws in his work 00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:43.840 is entirely hinged behaviour? 00:04:43.880 --> 00:04:47.200 Bipolar is a spectrum, and he's at his best when he's just on the line 00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:49.440 between mania and brilliance. 00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:51.480 And what if he's at his best now... 00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.600 ..but he wasn't when the case was first investigated? 00:05:45.840 --> 00:05:47.840 You OK? 00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:52.200 It's so real. 00:05:53.760 --> 00:05:57.360 I thought it might trigger a memory of that day, but...nothing. 00:05:57.400 --> 00:05:59.640 Yeah, it's a defence mechanism. 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.600 I can't remember anything from before I was adopted. 00:06:02.640 --> 00:06:07.280 Well, except feeling really happy about eating fish fingers. 00:06:07.320 --> 00:06:09.440 I bloody love a fish finger! 00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:15.320 Even rough childhoods can have pockets of joy. 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.480 You might need to cling on to that today if things get tough. 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:21.600 I'm not gonna cry at work, Steve. 00:06:21.640 --> 00:06:23.640 It's not in my makeup. 00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:27.120 And it would also with my makeup. 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.640 This isn't a normal day at the office, Dominique. 00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:39.880 Daddy bipolar bear's been busy. 00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.400 We managed to borrow a set from the theatre. 00:06:46.440 --> 00:06:49.440 Yeah, they were supposed to be rehearsing for Oedipus Rex, 00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:51.960 but Oedipus got chlamydia, which he passed on to his mum 00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:55.280 and half the chorus. Yeah, give up, Steve. 00:07:04.840 --> 00:07:08.640 The sudden death of an infant rarely provides clues at post-mortem. 00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:10.920 The scene is vital, but in this case, 00:07:10.960 --> 00:07:13.160 we don't have the luxury of visiting it. 00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:16.160 Do you want to brief us, Dominique? 00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:25.480 Paramedics were called to the address at 6:47am 00:07:25.520 --> 00:07:27.840 to reports of an unresponsive infant. 00:07:27.880 --> 00:07:30.400 They arrived to find the baby, Jermaine Barnette, 00:07:30.440 --> 00:07:33.800 had been dead for some time. The mother, Fay Barnette, 00:07:33.840 --> 00:07:37.200 claimed to have found the baby deceased in his cot when she woke, 00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:39.680 but the police didn't believe her. 00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:41.840 And with Professor Wolfe's evidence... 00:07:44.080 --> 00:07:46.600 ..she was prosecuted successfully for murder. 00:07:47.960 --> 00:07:50.520 I want us to approach this scene as though it were real 00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:52.560 and we were seeing it for the first time. 00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:55.560 Make some notes and report back. 00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:01.640 Tell me I didn't nail that. 00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:03.680 You nailed it. 00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:17.920 She should be taking her CV to Jobcentre Plus, 00:08:17.960 --> 00:08:20.560 not walking around with a clipboard like she's lead CSI. 00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:23.840 What is it you want, Maggy? To see Dominique punished? 00:08:23.880 --> 00:08:25.880 Would that be so unreasonable? 00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:29.040 Whatever the outcome here, her brother will still be dead, 00:08:29.080 --> 00:08:31.480 and she'll still have had a motherless childhood. 00:08:31.520 --> 00:08:33.960 You don't think she's been punished enough? 00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:39.240 But maybe we could also put a written warning on her file. 00:08:42.160 --> 00:08:45.400 This was the first case I worked where the victim was a baby. 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:48.960 It's never left me. 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:52.840 Jermaine's never left me. 00:08:52.880 --> 00:08:54.880 I hardly remember him at all. 00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:00.760 Soiled bedding. Piles of unwashed laundry. 00:09:00.800 --> 00:09:02.920 Marks on the bathroom wall that look like excrement. 00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:05.360 Minimal food in the cupboard and fridge. 00:09:05.400 --> 00:09:07.280 Cider cans in the kitchen. 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:09.480 Three-quarters-empty vodka bottle by the bed. 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:10.320 Anything else? 00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:10.480 Anything else? Multiple chains and bolts - on the front door. - Conclusions? 00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:13.440 Multiple chains and bolts - on the front door. - Conclusions? 00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.240 The mother was neglectful, possibly an alcoholic. 00:09:16.280 --> 00:09:20.000 Keen to keep prying eyes out. All of which are red flags at the scene 00:09:20.040 --> 00:09:22.280 of a potential domestic child homicide. 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:25.200 She was also evasive and inconsistent when questioned. 00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:27.240 Where's the evidence for that? 00:09:27.280 --> 00:09:29.640 The transcripts from - the police interviews. - No... 00:09:29.680 --> 00:09:31.520 where's the evidence for it here? Dominique — 00:09:31.560 --> 00:09:34.800 We are supposed to be re-assessing the crime scene only. 00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:38.000 You're right. Let's limit our findings to what's here. 00:09:38.040 --> 00:09:39.920 My bad. Just because there were a few cans, 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:41.320 you can't assume she was an alcoholic. 00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:44.040 We can't be certain, but it's reasonable to extrapolate. 00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:47.640 That's not science, - that's guesswork. - Sometimes, this job requires a bit of both. 00:09:48.640 --> 00:09:51.200 Going to prison might have stopped it in its tracks. 00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:55.160 But based on what's here... I think we can safely say that 00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:57.400 she was caning it around the time the baby died. 00:09:58.880 --> 00:10:01.800 Sorry, Dominique, but we all have to keep an open mind. 00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:05.320 Any more thoughts or questions? There was a second child found at the scene. 00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:07.600 Where was she when the paramedics arrived? 00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:26.200 I was found in there. 00:10:27.560 --> 00:10:29.600 Livor mortis becomes visible 00:10:29.640 --> 00:10:32.280 in the two hours after the blood stops circulating, 00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:34.720 when it starts to settle in the lowest parts of the body. 00:10:34.760 --> 00:10:37.160 The mother claimed to have found the baby face down. 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:41.280 Her defence argued it was possible he rolled onto his front and suffocated on his bedding. 00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:46.080 Wolfe testified that the lividity meant Jermaine was on his back when he died - 00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:49.440 that the mother was lying about having found him on his front. 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:52.560 But isn't it possible the paramedics placed him on his back 00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:56.200 and the lividity formed in the hours - following? - It's not impossible. 00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:59.120 But they found the baby on his front... 00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:03.520 ..which means the defendant made no attempt 00:11:03.560 --> 00:11:07.360 to pick up her unresponsive child, which seems unlikely. 00:11:07.400 --> 00:11:10.440 Or that she picked him up, discovered he was dead, 00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:13.360 then put him back down on his face. 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:18.320 The only reason I can think of for doing that 00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:21.600 would be an attempt to stage the crime scene. 00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:29.760 I'm sorry. Dominique. 00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:35.280 You don't think perhaps Tiny Tears was a bit much, Steve? No? 00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:38.200 It was Dominique's idea. She demanded this. 00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:41.920 Now she's not happy because - the science is standing up. - You need to pull the plug on this one. 00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:46.040 No, you cannot do that to her! She needs to know the truth. 00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:48.480 No, she needs to hear a version of the truth she can live with. 00:11:48.520 --> 00:11:50.760 That is not the same thing. She's a scientist. 00:11:50.800 --> 00:11:55.520 Yeah, and she is a daughter and a sister, and this is cruel. 00:11:56.920 --> 00:11:59.640 You have put us in a no-win situation. 00:11:59.680 --> 00:12:03.280 Either Dominique's right and you're finished, or you're right, 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:06.320 and God only knows what the hell that's gonna do to her. 00:12:12.520 --> 00:12:15.160 Have I ever shown you my pickled cancerous lung? 00:12:16.160 --> 00:12:19.200 It's not my lung, obviously, it's from a sixty-a-day smoker 00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:21.560 that donated his body to medical science. 00:12:22.680 --> 00:12:24.680 I thought this would be easier. 00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:29.320 We need to put your brother's - case away, Dominique. - Why? 00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:33.080 I didn't want to lose you from the team, so I thought if I let you 00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:35.440 reach the same conclusions I had, then I wouldn't have to. 00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:38.400 This is bigger than whether I stay on your team or not. 00:12:39.400 --> 00:12:41.400 I know. 00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:47.200 My mum's coming up to the end of her sentence... 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:50.440 ..which means she can get out on licence. 00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:53.440 But she'd have to accept her guilt... 00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:58.360 ..and she won't. 00:12:59.560 --> 00:13:01.760 Who does that unless they're innocent? 00:13:07.280 --> 00:13:09.920 Excuse me, Professor. Do you mind? 00:13:16.800 --> 00:13:19.600 Are we sure you're fit for failure, mate? 00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:23.000 Thanks. 00:13:25.040 --> 00:13:27.280 Right. One of the strongest pieces of evidence at trial 00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:30.040 was the fact white cotton fibres were found in Jermaine's airway. 00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:33.160 Wolfe testified that they were the same as these fibres, 00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.240 which were taken from a pillow found in the cot. 00:13:35.280 --> 00:13:37.720 The prosecution presented this as evidence the defendant 00:13:37.760 --> 00:13:39.840 had used the pillow to suffocate Jermaine. 00:13:39.880 --> 00:13:42.320 It all looks like a match to me. 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:45.000 But there's a limit to how much detail 00:13:45.040 --> 00:13:47.040 a standard optical microscope can show. 00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:49.640 Like with most of our work, we have to make a judgement. 00:13:49.680 --> 00:13:52.800 Mine was that it's probable the fibres came from the same source. 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:54.880 But if you'd used a scanning electron microscope, 00:13:54.920 --> 00:13:57.000 you'd have had an enhanced view to make a more accurate judgement. 00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:58.560 We didn't have a SEM back then. 00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:01.200 We have one now. 00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:04.600 Yeah, but the fibres need to be coated in gold to make them conduct. 00:14:04.640 --> 00:14:08.240 They'll be destroyed, and we don't have enough of them to do that. 00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:11.480 Evidence needs to be preserved in case the defendant 00:14:11.520 --> 00:14:14.960 wants to appeal her case and get further testing done on her behalf. 00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:16.960 I'd be doing it on her behalf. 00:14:23.680 --> 00:14:26.160 I suppose if we were to film the process... 00:14:33.880 --> 00:14:35.920 That's beautiful. 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:38.920 You could put that in a clip frame and hang it on a wall. 00:14:40.160 --> 00:14:43.440 It's a picture of the fibres taken from my dead brother's nostrils. 00:14:49.400 --> 00:14:51.920 And here are the test fibres taken from the pillow, 00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:54.640 which in theory, should look identical. 00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:05.240 The fibres from the pillow are denser than the ones found in Jermaine's airway. 00:15:05.280 --> 00:15:09.000 I can see. So what does it mean? 00:15:10.040 --> 00:15:12.960 That the fibres didn't - come from the pillow. - I know that. 00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:16.080 I mean what does it mean for the - case? - It's completely undermined. 00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:18.200 Dominique got what she wanted. 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:20.640 I want to hear it from Wolfe. 00:15:22.160 --> 00:15:24.160 I don't know what it means. 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:29.400 I need to think. But it's great work, 00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:31.960 Dominique, really. 00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:58.080 Science isn't infallible. It's only as good as the people using it. 00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:01.360 The fibres are just one piece of the puzzle. 00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:05.480 It was the lividity evidence that really convicted her. 00:16:05.520 --> 00:16:07.600 It showed she lied. And people don't lie 00:16:07.640 --> 00:16:09.560 unless they've got something to hide. 00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:12.160 And just because she didn't use the pillow to smother him, 00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:14.320 it doesn't mean she didn't do it. 00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:16.360 Perhaps not. 00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:21.800 This blanket's white cotton - she might've used this. 00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:24.520 And by placing it in the washing machine afterwards, 00:16:24.560 --> 00:16:26.880 she thought she was destroying the evidence. 00:16:27.880 --> 00:16:32.200 But we didn't collect the blanket from the crime scene, so we have no way of knowing. 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:34.480 Yeah, that was my fault. 00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:39.160 I was lead CSI on this one. 00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:43.080 Really? Where was I? 00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:46.720 A surprise trip to Manic Land. 00:16:46.760 --> 00:16:49.840 Which I've always imagined is a bit like Disney World, 00:16:49.880 --> 00:16:52.920 but with shittier scenery and scarier rides. 00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:56.080 I'm so sorry. No. 00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:58.120 I was out of my depth. 00:16:58.160 --> 00:17:00.400 And I've let everyone down. 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:04.120 Course you haven't. You had every reason to believe that the pillow was the murder weapon. 00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:06.560 We can't take everything from the crime scene. 00:17:06.600 --> 00:17:09.800 You should sack me now if it comes to it, save the department. 00:17:09.840 --> 00:17:11.840 We're a team, Dot. 00:17:12.840 --> 00:17:15.960 The moment I stood up in court and presented your findings, 00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:18.080 they became mine too. 00:17:18.120 --> 00:17:23.040 Yes. But how convinced are either of us by those findings now, eh? 00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:36.400 If all you want out of this is to get your mum's conviction quashed, you probably have enough. 00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:38.960 But I also think you want to know what happened to your brother. 00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:42.520 I already know. 'Sudden unexplained death of a child or infant'. 00:17:42.560 --> 00:17:45.200 That's just a term we use when we can't find the cause of death, 00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:47.320 and there's no suspicious circumstances. 00:17:47.360 --> 00:17:49.920 It is not normal for there to be cotton 00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:52.680 inside the nose and throat of a baby. 00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:55.120 Or for a parent to lie about the death of a child. 00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:57.240 Someone killed Jermaine. 00:17:57.280 --> 00:17:59.520 If not your mum, then someone else. 00:17:59.560 --> 00:18:01.640 I still firmly believe that. 00:18:06.360 --> 00:18:09.080 There was other DNA found at the scene. 00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:23.720 You look stressed. 00:18:23.760 --> 00:18:26.640 There's something I need to talk to you about. 00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:28.920 Sounds bad. It's not. 00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:31.240 But I'm worried how you'll take it. 00:18:31.280 --> 00:18:34.560 You're really building it up now, Dominique. 00:18:37.600 --> 00:18:39.680 I've been working on your case. 00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:45.040 My boss Wolfe Kinteh is the CSI who testified at your trial. 00:18:45.080 --> 00:18:49.480 Why would you go and work with him? Because I wanted to find out how he arrived at his evidence. 00:18:49.520 --> 00:18:51.640 I never dreamt he'd end up helping me with it. 00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:53.680 But he has. 00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:57.760 He says he's helping you, but how can you believe him? 00:18:57.800 --> 00:19:00.360 He's already accepted he was wrong about the pillow. 00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:02.480 He knows Jermaine wasn't smothered with it. 00:19:02.520 --> 00:19:05.200 So he's saying it was a cot death now, is he? 00:19:05.240 --> 00:19:07.120 No. 00:19:09.080 --> 00:19:11.080 What, then? 00:19:12.080 --> 00:19:15.600 He was thinking - both of us were - 00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:18.560 that someone else might've been involved. 00:19:20.840 --> 00:19:22.840 Like who? 00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:26.280 There was DNA at the crime scene belonging to Eric Haim. 00:19:28.280 --> 00:19:30.520 I was seeing him. I remember. 00:19:31.840 --> 00:19:33.880 He used to hurt you. 00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:39.360 And if he was capable of that, maybe he was capable of killing Jermaine. 00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:45.760 Nobody killed Jermaine. 00:19:46.760 --> 00:19:49.640 Why won't you let me help you get out of here? 00:19:55.520 --> 00:19:58.600 All those things they said about me in court - 00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:01.120 that I was a terrible mother. - You weren't. 00:20:01.120 --> 00:20:02.120 I was, Dominique. 00:20:03.600 --> 00:20:06.280 I never smothered Jermaine... Of course you didn't. 00:20:06.320 --> 00:20:08.960 ..but that doesn't mean to say I'm not guilty. 00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:12.360 So I don't want any help to get out of here. 00:20:15.360 --> 00:20:17.560 I'm exactly where I should be. 00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:29.440 She's lying. 00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:37.800 How are we doing with that flat number? 00:20:37.840 --> 00:20:39.840 No joy. 00:20:41.040 --> 00:20:43.240 How many flats do you reckon are in here? 00:20:43.280 --> 00:20:45.320 Too many. 00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:50.880 Look, I don't know what kind of place you were brought up in, 00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:54.240 but people in blocks like this don't know their neighbours. 00:20:54.280 --> 00:20:57.280 Hi, there.

No. 00:23:50.040 --> 00:23:52.720 Are you sure about that? I'm no woman beater... 00:23:52.760 --> 00:23:54.840 although if I was, I might've beaten her. 00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:56.920 She certainly knew how to push my buttons. 00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:00.520 Some people are just toxic together. That were me and Fay. 00:24:00.560 --> 00:24:03.600 We're here investigating the events surrounding the death of her baby. 00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:05.880 I can't help you. I weren't there. 00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:08.840 Fay and me had one of our ding-dongs, and she chucked me out. 00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:10.920 I didn't get back till the early hours. 00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:13.360 And then what happened? 00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:17.560 I banged on the door for a bit, shouted my sorries. 00:24:17.600 --> 00:24:21.880 Usually, I could win Fay round, but that time she never let me back in. 00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:26.080 Police came to mine later that day, told me she'd smothered the baby. 00:24:26.120 --> 00:24:29.920 You must've been devastated. Yeah, tragic. 00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:34.920 But the kid weren't mine... - thank . - Thank . 00:24:36.040 --> 00:24:38.560 Thank you, Mr Haim.

I sometimes wonder what happened to her. 00:25:01.040 --> 00:25:03.840 I reckon he came back to the house, and Mum let him in. 00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:07.200 Then, why isn't she telling us that? Because she's scared of him. 00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:09.520 Maybe back then, but why now? 00:25:09.560 --> 00:25:11.560 It's not as if he can get to her. 00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:15.520 I can see his eyes staring through the letterbox... 00:25:16.520 --> 00:25:18.520 ..as clear as if it was yesterday. 00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:23.920 Fear like that doesn't leave you. 00:25:26.120 --> 00:25:28.120 Let's get you home. 00:25:56.320 --> 00:25:58.320 Thanks. 00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:06.600 The Professor's on the piss! 00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:11.560 I'm conducting an experiment! 00:26:46.840 --> 00:26:48.840 I thought I might find you in a hole. 00:26:49.880 --> 00:26:52.680 How are you feeling? 00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:55.000 Like a man who's losing his superpowers. 00:26:56.040 --> 00:26:58.960 Is this the end of the road for Manicman? 00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:01.920 Nah.

I'm conducting an experiment. 00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:35.680 As you're very fond of reminding me, 00:29:35.720 --> 00:29:38.000 you get a more accurate result with a blood test in the lab 00:29:38.040 --> 00:29:40.080 than we do with a puffer on the side of the road. 00:29:40.120 --> 00:29:43.680 Yes. I'm replicating particular conditions. 00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:50.760 Morning, Betsy. Oh, hi, Val. 00:29:56.280 --> 00:29:58.400 Congratulations in order? 00:29:58.440 --> 00:30:00.440 I don't think it means anything. 00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:02.520 Everything means something. 00:30:02.560 --> 00:30:04.800 Blow into that. 00:30:08.080 --> 00:30:10.840 Are you here to admit you made a mistake? 00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:12.960 I did make a mistake. 00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:15.880 I thought the pillow was the murder weapon. But now... 00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:18.800 I suspect it was this. 00:30:21.360 --> 00:30:23.520 I conducted an experiment yesterday. 00:30:23.560 --> 00:30:27.120 I drank the same amount of vodka you did on the night Jermaine died. 00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:29.600 This morning, I was breathalysed about the time you were 00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:33.000 the morning of your arrest. Our blood alcohol level was about the same, 00:30:33.040 --> 00:30:36.160 give or take - but here's the thing. 00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:39.520 At 5:00am this morning, the approximate time which we think 00:30:39.560 --> 00:30:42.680 Jermaine died, I was out for the count. 00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:44.720 My wife wasn't very happy. 00:30:44.760 --> 00:30:48.920 I'd set an alarm on my phone just to see how drunk I'd be. 00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:52.760 Only she couldn't wake me, and she couldn't turn off the alarm. 00:30:52.800 --> 00:30:56.000 Is this supposed to mean something? I'm a fair bit bigger than you, 00:30:56.040 --> 00:30:59.040 so if I wasn't conscious, you weren't either. 00:30:59.080 --> 00:31:02.840 But the only DNA we found in that house 00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:05.600 was yours and Eric Haim's. 00:31:06.840 --> 00:31:08.840 Why are you covering for him? 00:31:10.600 --> 00:31:13.480 People like you always have to be right, don't you? 00:31:13.520 --> 00:31:15.400 You have to know everything. 00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:17.720 I'm already rotting away in here. 00:31:17.760 --> 00:31:21.520 No chance of getting out, but still, you keep pushing it. 00:31:21.560 --> 00:31:23.560 Still you won't let it go. 00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:30.240 Is it a confession you want? 00:31:30.280 --> 00:31:32.400 Do you need to hear me say it? 00:31:36.560 --> 00:31:38.560 I killed him. 00:31:38.600 --> 00:31:40.600 There. 00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:45.160 It's said. I killed Jermaine. 00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:48.400 I snapped, and I smothered him. 00:31:52.360 --> 00:31:54.440 Where are you going? 00:31:54.480 --> 00:31:57.640 Tell Dominique... not to come here again. 00:31:57.680 --> 00:32:01.360 Fay, please - And if you give a shit about her... 00:32:02.840 --> 00:32:04.840 ..tell her to let it go. 00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:10.960 Fay. Come on. 00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:24.840 You know what I'm looking forward to when all this is over? 00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:28.000 Getting your mum back? Yeah, course. But... 00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:31.000 ..also just being normal. 00:32:31.040 --> 00:32:33.640 I want to go on holiday without feeling guilty. 00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:36.800 Yeah, you should definitely do that. 00:32:36.840 --> 00:32:39.440 I've always fancied Paris. But... 00:32:40.560 --> 00:32:43.840 ..we can try somewhere different if you've already been. 00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:47.720 No, Paris sounds good. 00:32:50.840 --> 00:32:55.320 Wolfe? We should discuss what we're going to do with the new fibre evidence. 00:32:55.360 --> 00:32:57.560 You've got the evidence, do with it what you must. 00:32:57.600 --> 00:32:59.680 But you said we were - going to see it through. - I have. 00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:03.480 No. Seeing it through means agreeing what happened...as a team. 00:33:03.520 --> 00:33:07.640 Do you have any idea how much it costs to run a lab like ours? 00:33:09.520 --> 00:33:12.600 You got a freebie, but it's time to get back to our proper work. 00:33:13.600 --> 00:33:16.720 You're just the same as every other do-gooder who spent five minutes 00:33:16.760 --> 00:33:19.640 looking like they might be helpful. I never meant to let you down. 00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:21.680 Yeah. No-one ever does. 00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:25.160 But you've chosen to save your reputation, haven't you, Wolfe? 00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:30.360 And I'll never forgive you for putting that above the truth. 00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:32.120 Let it go, Dominique. 00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:35.120 My life has been put on hold ever since my brother died, 00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:38.400 and it won't restart again until I know what happened to him. 00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:44.080 Because there's nothing... worse than not knowing. 00:33:49.160 --> 00:33:51.160 Let's go to my office. No. 00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:54.480 You can say what you've got to say right here, in front of everyone. 00:33:54.520 --> 00:33:56.840 Please, Dominique. It needs to be in private. 00:33:56.880 --> 00:33:59.240 I said no. 00:34:17.560 --> 00:34:20.000 I believe the fibres came from this blanket. 00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:24.840 You can't prove that. I know. 00:34:25.840 --> 00:34:27.960 So that's your answer, is it? 00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:30.920 You were right about the smothering, it's just the weapon you got wrong? 00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:33.040 I no longer think Jermaine was smothered. 00:34:33.080 --> 00:34:36.560 I think he suffocated inside the washing machine. 00:34:40.560 --> 00:34:42.560 What? 00:34:42.600 --> 00:34:44.640 The machine was switched off, but... 00:34:45.640 --> 00:34:47.600 ..the barrel, it's airtight. 00:34:47.640 --> 00:34:51.240 So once the door was shut, he ran out of oxygen. 00:34:52.600 --> 00:34:56.200 The blanket was on or near his face while that happened. 00:34:56.240 --> 00:34:58.720 It doesn't make any sense. Why... 00:34:58.760 --> 00:35:01.520 Why would she use the washing machine to kill him? 00:35:01.560 --> 00:35:03.800 Nobody was trying to kill Jermaine. 00:35:09.520 --> 00:35:11.520 They were trying to protect him. 00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:19.840 She must've been so frightened. 00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:25.680 Eric Haim was drunk, hammering on the door. 00:35:27.080 --> 00:35:29.560 She knew what he was capable of. She tried... 00:35:30.560 --> 00:35:33.800 ..to wake her mum up, but Fay was out of it. So... 00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:38.440 ..she picked up Jermaine... No. 00:35:38.480 --> 00:35:41.400 She picked up Jermaine, 00:35:41.440 --> 00:35:44.080 and she carefully carried him... 00:35:44.120 --> 00:35:46.120 ..to the washing machine. 00:35:48.320 --> 00:35:52.680 Nah, nah. No. That's not right. 00:35:52.720 --> 00:35:55.360 And she placed him inside... 00:35:56.360 --> 00:35:58.280 No. 00:35:59.480 --> 00:36:02.200 ..to keep him safe from Eric Haim. 00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:08.920 I'm so sorry, Dominique. 00:36:11.520 --> 00:36:13.960 So he would be safe. 00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:19.000 So he would be safe. 00:36:23.400 --> 00:36:25.400 I'm sorry. 00:36:28.640 --> 00:36:31.000 I said I wanted the truth. 00:36:32.040 --> 00:36:34.200 Turns out I wanted a soothing lie. 00:36:35.920 --> 00:36:38.240 The truth has always been like a faith to me. 00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:40.880 But today's the first time I had it tested. 00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:44.000 I found myself wondering - if the facts don't always bring comfort, 00:36:44.040 --> 00:36:46.960 then maybe there are some things better left buried. 00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:52.480 I don't even know what I'm going to say to my mum. 00:36:57.320 --> 00:36:59.680 She might have thought she was protecting me, but... 00:37:00.680 --> 00:37:04.080 ..I'd rather have known the truth and had her around. 00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:10.800 I bet you can deal with a lot if you've got a mum. 00:37:11.800 --> 00:37:14.000 You and her will have plenty of time... 00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:17.480 ..to go through all of that. 00:37:17.520 --> 00:37:20.680 In the meantime, you need to take this new evidence 00:37:20.720 --> 00:37:22.920 and put it into an appeal application. 00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:25.760 Me? It's your case, Dominique. 00:37:25.800 --> 00:37:29.040 And when you've finished, you'll have another. 00:37:29.080 --> 00:37:31.080 And another after that. 00:37:32.080 --> 00:37:34.440 I'm not sure I can do this now. 00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:37.640 You can...and you will. 00:37:37.680 --> 00:37:42.280 Because you are that very rare and special breed of CSI 00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:45.240 who knows that this job is a lot less about data and death 00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:47.280 than it is about people. 00:37:50.880 --> 00:37:55.520 Listen, Valerie, there's something I want to say. Something important. 00:37:55.560 --> 00:37:58.520 Something long... Jesus! What are you doing? 00:37:58.560 --> 00:38:00.600 I honestly don't know. 00:38:01.600 --> 00:38:04.160 Have you and Mum had a row? Worse. 00:38:04.200 --> 00:38:06.680 Oh, my God, you've had ! 00:38:06.720 --> 00:38:10.680 That's a very astute pick up. Oh, please don't tell me any more. 00:38:10.720 --> 00:38:13.080 But also, please try not to upset her. 00:38:13.120 --> 00:38:15.840 I can't remember the last time I saw her as happy as she was today. 00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:18.080 Really? Oh, no, I can, actually. 00:38:18.120 --> 00:38:20.120 Yeah, the day you moved out. 00:38:36.760 --> 00:38:40.040 What is it? Divorce papers. 00:38:40.080 --> 00:38:43.800 You enjoyed last night, then. More than anything, actually. 00:38:43.840 --> 00:38:46.280 And if there is any possibility 00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:48.640 that it has ignited even the tiniest amount of hope, 00:38:48.680 --> 00:38:51.240 then I am here and ready to blow on it. 00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:53.280 Weird. 00:38:53.320 --> 00:38:55.680 And to try my best not to extinguish it. 00:38:55.720 --> 00:38:58.800 Step away from the metaphor. But if you decide... 00:38:59.800 --> 00:39:01.800 ..that there is no hope... 00:39:02.800 --> 00:39:05.120 ..um...there's the parole you wanted. 00:39:05.160 --> 00:39:08.560 And I am sorry that I didn't give it to you when you first asked. 00:39:10.440 --> 00:39:13.120 Is there blank paper in this? No. 00:39:14.240 --> 00:39:16.320 You can't blame me for being suspicious. 00:39:16.360 --> 00:39:19.800 I can't. Which is why if we come out of this as friends, 00:39:19.840 --> 00:39:22.040 Valerie, it'll be more than I deserve. 00:39:23.680 --> 00:39:25.680 Thank you. 00:39:28.360 --> 00:39:30.360 It means a lot. 00:40:00.600 --> 00:40:02.640 Dominique's going to be OK. 00:40:02.680 --> 00:40:06.160 I truly believe that...because she has the support of her family. 00:40:06.200 --> 00:40:08.680 Which, make no mistake - that's what we are. 00:40:09.680 --> 00:40:12.600 You couldn't do this job with colleagues alone. 00:40:13.600 --> 00:40:16.000 I've not been her biggest fan, but... 00:40:16.040 --> 00:40:18.160 ..I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. 00:40:18.200 --> 00:40:20.680 Yep.

Doesn't sound very complex. 00:40:31.840 --> 00:40:34.720 He wasn't wearing a parachute. Ooh! 00:40:34.760 --> 00:40:37.640 You were all thinking it. 00:40:37.680 --> 00:40:41.280 All right, I'll go straight there with you.
