0:00:02 > 0:00:05Justine? Let's go and find out where Mummy is, shall we?
0:00:08 > 0:00:11'So, he kills Mum. Waits an hour or so...
0:00:11 > 0:00:14'kills daughter. At some point, finds time
0:00:14 > 0:00:17'to knock a bloody great big hole in the son's skull, too.'
0:00:17 > 0:00:19There's no running home from this one.
0:00:19 > 0:00:20Get off me!
0:00:20 > 0:00:22You're assuming it's the father.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25- Did you know Stuart Thompson well? - Yeah, all my life.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29Then he married your ex, Justine. Bet that put the cat among the pigeons.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32So, I'd like to get on with the postmortem as soon as possible.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35I don't think that's a very good idea. You knew Justine.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Justine was pregnant and she had an eclamptic seizure.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Luckily, I was able to help.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Your brother - Kevin, is it?
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Were you in love with her?
0:00:53 > 0:00:57You're actually the same age as the boy, Charlie, aren't you? And Gemma.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01- So, are you guys all friends, then? - Gemma mostly.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Even if they were having sex,
0:01:04 > 0:01:06they weren't blood related, they were stepsiblings.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08TYRES SCREECH, CRASH
0:01:10 > 0:01:11She was arranged.
0:01:18 > 0:01:25# Testator Silens
0:01:26 > 0:01:34# Costestes e spiritu
0:01:34 > 0:01:40# Silentium. #
0:02:07 > 0:02:08Mm.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11When did you last see him?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Yesterday.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Did you talk?
0:02:19 > 0:02:20Yeah. We talked.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23And how would you describe his state of mind?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Erm...
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Would you say you were close?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- I was more like his dad.- Even though you were the younger brother?
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Is that why you let him stay at your flat rent-free all those years?
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- No, he paid rent.- Market rate?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47What's that got to do with anything?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50I'm just trying to establish...
0:02:50 > 0:02:51No.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I let him live there cheap.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- We bought the flat years ago.- We?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Yeah, me and my first wife. Tanya.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11So, you were helping him out.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16D'you think he resented your help?
0:03:19 > 0:03:23In light of what's happened, I'm sorry to ask, but...
0:03:23 > 0:03:25d'you think he might have wanted to harm your family?
0:03:27 > 0:03:31I just want this to stop, OK? I want it to stop.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Where were you at 10.15 last night, Mr Thompson?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38I was in my hotel. Where d'you bloody think I was?
0:03:38 > 0:03:40The road, where he crashed.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43That's en route to your hotel.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- So?- D'you think he might have been coming to see you?
0:03:47 > 0:03:49What does it matter? He's dead.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- None of this matters!- I'm just trying to gauge his state of mind.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56We have a report from a witness who said they saw him
0:03:56 > 0:03:58driving erratically before he crashed.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02My brother had a drugs problem for 20 years.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04He's clean now.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08You're looking for reasons why he was driving like that.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Yesterday you questioned him. Today he's dead.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15If you want someone to blame, take a bloody long look in the mirror!
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Oh. Was he sober?
0:04:23 > 0:04:24We don't know yet.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Not until you've cut him open, had a good rummage around.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Did you do that with Gemma?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Justine? Must have been weird with Justine.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38For you, I mean.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Stuart.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49We didn't have any secrets, me and Justine.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52She fessed up a couple of weeks later.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Became the big family joke.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Charlie, especially.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Wouldn't shut up about it -
0:04:58 > 0:05:00the time Mum got pissed and snogged the doctor.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Hah! Made me laugh a lot.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06He was a funny kid.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08He is a funny kid.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Cos I know he's going to be OK.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Family Liaison rang. They said he's showing signs of recovery.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23I just worry that he's going to wake up and I won't be there.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26There won't be anybody there.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30I'll visit him...
0:05:30 > 0:05:32if you like.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Yeah, thanks.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39Yeah, Linda, it's me.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- Yeah.- No, no, please, don't hang...
0:05:57 > 0:05:59You realise this is the forensic equivalent
0:05:59 > 0:06:01of photocopying your arse.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03LAUGHTER
0:06:03 > 0:06:05INDISTINCT CONVERSATION CONTINUES
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Will you look at them?
0:06:13 > 0:06:14Looking.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16What d'you see?
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Two professionals going about their business in an amiable manner.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22It's practically foreplay.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23LAUGHTER
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- Charlie and Gemma?- Nikki thinks Gemma may have been suffering
0:06:27 > 0:06:29from glandular fever at the time of her death,
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- and the hospital says Charlie has it, too.- I haven't got time for...
0:06:32 > 0:06:37Epstein-Barr can be transmitted through the air, but the chances of catching it are greatly increased
0:06:37 > 0:06:38if there is an exchange of saliva.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- You're talking kissing, right?- Yeah.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Two teens, same house, similar age. It does happen.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48So, not only have I got two murders, one attempted, and a bike smash,
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- you want to throw in incest. - Hardly incest.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Try telling the tabloids that.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21There are multiple small abrasions
0:07:21 > 0:07:25and...also signs of blunt trauma to the face and head,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28consistent with impact against the wall.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30There is a marked pallor to the skin...
0:07:32 > 0:07:36..but no external signs of a significant bleed.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Could be an internal haemorrhage.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42We see that sometimes, with motorbike accidents.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Disruption to the thoracic aorta within the descending portion.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Cause of death is aortic disruption,
0:07:53 > 0:07:55due to blunt force trauma to the chest.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07By the way, the, erm... four tattoos that he has.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10The degradation of the fine detail suggests that three of them
0:08:10 > 0:08:13are at least ten years old, but this one here...is new.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16The tattoo's healed, but the skin is new.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20I'd say the procedure was carried out at least four-to-six weeks ago.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23If you're still considering him a suspect without an alibi,
0:08:23 > 0:08:25you might want to find someone called Stacey.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- Did you say Stacey?- Yeah.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31DIALS ON MOBILE
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Yeah, Billy. It's me. I need that cleaned-up CCTV, like yesterday.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Fractures to tibia and fibula -
0:08:42 > 0:08:46seems like a straightforward bike collision, to me.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Only there was no reason for him to crash.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Apart from speed, perhaps.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Traffic investigation team said there were no brake marks at scene.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59So there was no evidence he even attempted to stop.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01He could have been drunk or drugged.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- We won't get toxicology back... - Why does it matter, anyway?
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Possible suicide.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07By motorbike?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10LAUGHS
0:09:10 > 0:09:12I'm trying to keep all the options open.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Disgruntled ex-junkie with a crush on his brother's missus.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21We haul him in for questioning...
0:09:22 > 0:09:24..he's unconvincing, to say the least,
0:09:24 > 0:09:27and a couple of hours later, he's dead by the side of the road.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Maybe he had a guilty conscience.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Maybe he just knew that the game was up.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Whatever he thought, last night,
0:09:38 > 0:09:41he decides to jump on his bike and smash it into a wall at 70...
0:09:41 > 0:09:43You can't infer suicide, either from the evidence at scene,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45or that postmortem.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Yeah, and you can't infer it wasn't!
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Suicide or not, we need to get DNA samples straight over to forensics.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- Rule him in or out at the Thompson scene.- I'll drop it round later.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Thanks.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Billy.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07'The boy next door. Joel Barron. I'm worried he might have done something.'
0:10:07 > 0:10:09'What do you think he might have done?'
0:10:10 > 0:10:12OK, check it out.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19KNOCK AT DOOR
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Do you mind if we come in?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Someone's left in a hurry.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Where is he, Mrs Barron?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48< Sir!
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- Have you checked his school? - Yep. And he's not there.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19I spoke to his head of year. Says the kid's a persistent truant.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22He's got no friends to speak of - certainly no girls.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Last year, he received a fixed-term exclusion for attacking a classmate.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- His mum still says she was with him night of the murder?- That's right.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Of course she does. She's his mum.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34By the way, the tech boys have nearly cleaned up the Nottingham CCTV.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37About time.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41The bat that was used to assault Charlie was hidden under the shed
0:11:41 > 0:11:43at the house next door.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44That leaves one weapon outstanding.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Well, a cricket bat couldn't have used for Justine's head injury.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49- You sure?- Yeah.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Whatever caused the damage to her skull was circular...
0:11:52 > 0:11:54and sharp and heavy enough to penetrate bone.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59The knife that was used in the secondary attack on Justine...
0:12:00 > 0:12:02It was washed up and left at the house, wasn't it?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05You think the other weapon might still be there?
0:12:06 > 0:12:07So, why haven't they found it yet?
0:12:08 > 0:12:13Well, maybe... Maybe they didn't know what they were looking for.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19You said that this machine could be used to analyse a bite mark...
0:12:19 > 0:12:20- Mm-hm.- ..left on a body,
0:12:20 > 0:12:24to produce a...a...replica jaw based on that mark.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30So, why can't we do the same thing with Justine's head injury -
0:12:30 > 0:12:31fabricate a replica weapon?
0:12:31 > 0:12:35May be possible. But you'd need a CT scan.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Ah. I'm not sure if I can swing that at short notice.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41You really do underestimate your charms, Leo.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Ring me when you've set it up.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52Charlie Thompson, please.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Ah. Take a seat, please. He's got a friend with him at the moment.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00- Who?- I don't know, erm, a neighbour or something.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Excuse me.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06Excuse me! You can't....
0:13:30 > 0:13:31Where is he?
0:13:35 > 0:13:36Stay where you are.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39Joel?
0:13:40 > 0:13:41It wasn't me!
0:13:42 > 0:13:44No-one's saying it was.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47All right?
0:13:52 > 0:13:53Come on, now, mate.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Joel? Joel!
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Put it down.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Put it down.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44I'm about to have a heart attack as it is.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53What is going on, Joel? Why'd you come and see Charlie?
0:14:53 > 0:14:56The police think that you put him in here. You know that?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58They found a cricket bat in your garden.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02And I can guarantee, right now, they think you killed them all.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Forensics will be doing tests on it.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- Chances are, they'll find Charlie's blood on it.- Wasn't me!
0:15:07 > 0:15:10I found the bat in the house. I picked it up cos I was scared!
0:15:14 > 0:15:17They're going to say I killed them, but I never!
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Been in love with her for years. D'you see?!
0:15:20 > 0:15:23So when I saw them two together, I wanted it to stop.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- I loved Gemma. Remember that.- Joel!
0:15:53 > 0:15:57He said he was in love with Gemma, saw them together and wanted it to stop.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00I think there's a possibility he was talking about Charlie and Gemma.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03The glandular fever incest theory.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07- Sorry.- Just trying to do my job.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11No police outside Charlie's room. Are you sure you're doing yours?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21His custody sergeant says that he hasn't moved.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23That he won't eat, won't talk.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Hasn't even taken a piss. Total shut down.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Scared shitless, most likely.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31- Mum still sticking to the story? - Yeah.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32See how that holds up in court.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Chloroform?
0:16:38 > 0:16:39And phenol.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42For stripping out DNA?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Top of the class.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Any luck with the CT scan?
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Yes. I managed to call in a favour.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52You see? People just can't say no to you, Leo.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Er, what about blood?
0:16:58 > 0:17:02We found Charlie's blood on the bat, but no trace of Justine.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04OK.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Do you want to take a look?
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Yes.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Normal red blood cells
0:17:11 > 0:17:14and you see this bunch?
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Neutrophil.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17I can give you a better look.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19There, see?
0:17:59 > 0:18:02I'm sorry. ..I'm sorry.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07I think I'd better leave.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Haven't had time to get home. Do you mind if I grab a shower?
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Be my guest.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33Look, I might have been a bit out of order at the hospital,
0:18:33 > 0:18:34and earlier, after the PM.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Haven't exactly covered myself in glory.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42I shouldn't be telling you how to do your job. Sorry.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Maybe I needed telling. I'm being a bit distracted.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53My wife. We've been separated the last three months.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59But she's willing to give me another chance...
0:19:00 > 0:19:02..and I would appreciate it if you could, too.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11PHONE RINGING
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Hello?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Stuart?
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Think you've had enough yet?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Sound like Justine.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19I miss her.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Miss all of them.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24You know?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Charlie and Gemma...
0:20:26 > 0:20:28my little girl... Ellie.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33I had a dream about her,
0:20:33 > 0:20:35about Ellie.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38It was a good dream.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41You'll see her again soon.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Yeah, I'm...sort of focusing on...
0:20:43 > 0:20:47seeing her and holding... you know...Charlie.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52I'm, er...
0:20:52 > 0:20:56I'm not allowed to speak to his doctors, to check.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58I know.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Stops it hurting.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07I have no idea what you must be going through at the moment, but...
0:21:07 > 0:21:10LAUGHS
0:21:10 > 0:21:11Oh, um...
0:21:13 > 0:21:15..I don't mean that kind of hurting.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17LAUGHS
0:21:17 > 0:21:18It's my head.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19Oh.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20I fell over...
0:21:22 > 0:21:23..and hurt my head.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28LAUGHS
0:21:28 > 0:21:30If you didn't laugh, you'd cry, wouldn't you?
0:21:30 > 0:21:32LAUGHS
0:21:54 > 0:21:55Get yourself to Nottingham.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Yeah. Well, I can't do it, so you'll have to. End of.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Stacey Leach?
0:22:01 > 0:22:03DC Myers. Middlesex Police.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06I'm sorry we had to meet here.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08My mum's got Alzheimer's and, er...
0:22:08 > 0:22:11she doesn't like strange people round at the house.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Sure.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15So, how did you meet Kevin?
0:22:15 > 0:22:19We met when we was both using.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21When was that?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23I don't know, about three years ago.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26It was a pretty dark time...
0:22:28 > 0:22:30..but Kevin kept me safe.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33So, you were like, what?
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Boyfriend, girlfriend?
0:22:34 > 0:22:37No, we was getting married.
0:22:37 > 0:22:42He was gonna get me a proper big ring, when he'd sorted himself out.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- Was he clean?- Yeah, he was clean!
0:22:46 > 0:22:50He worked really damn hard at it and he kept me clean, too.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Kevin wasn't what people thought.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54All he wanted was, like, a future. He was...
0:22:56 > 0:22:59He was just a really lovely bloke.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Is this the only hotel in Nottingham?
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- Why d'you ask me that?- Well, it's just that this is the same hotel
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Stuart Thompson stays in when he comes to Nottingham, so...
0:23:15 > 0:23:20- So? So, what? It's probably where he got the idea from?- What idea?
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Hope you get some sleep.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27Yeah.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33- Well, thanks for picking me up, patching me up.- It's nothing at all.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35No, it is. I know it is.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39My situation, most people would run a mile.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Ellie - I'll, er... I'll do what I can.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48You've done enough. You've been a mate.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52See you.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55PHONE RINGING
0:23:57 > 0:23:58Hello?
0:24:05 > 0:24:06Me again.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Stuart Thompson, I'm arresting you for the murder
0:24:12 > 0:24:14of Justine Thompson and Gemma McAteer
0:24:14 > 0:24:16on the night of Wednesday the 12th of October.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18You do not have to say anything,
0:24:18 > 0:24:21but anything you do say may be given in evidence.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35When I interviewed you on Thursday the 13th of October,
0:24:35 > 0:24:36I asked you where you'd been.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- Can you remember what you said? - Nottingham.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44Is that true?
0:24:47 > 0:24:50For the tape.
0:24:51 > 0:24:52Look, what is this?
0:25:06 > 0:25:08That's your brother's girlfriend, Stacey.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15And that...
0:25:15 > 0:25:18is you.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Why?
0:25:20 > 0:25:24Because the receptionist at the hotel that you drove to in your BMW
0:25:24 > 0:25:27on the night your wife and stepdaughter were killed says it is.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29And she should know.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33You've been staying there on and off for a while now, haven't you?
0:25:33 > 0:25:36You stayed there, and,
0:25:36 > 0:25:39on the morning after your wife and stepdaughter were killed,
0:25:39 > 0:25:42you used your credit card to pay for a double room,
0:25:42 > 0:25:46two bottles of cheap plonk and a dirty movie.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49And that must be you, because that's what you told us.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05But that's not you, after all, is it?
0:26:05 > 0:26:08That's your brother, Kevin.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11We had our tech guys clean up the picture.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14So, why Nottingham?
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Because that's where Kevin wanted to go.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21And if Justine ever checked the credit card statements,
0:26:21 > 0:26:24it would look true.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25So, you lend him your car
0:26:25 > 0:26:29for him to zoom up the M1 and have a bit of nooky at your expense.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Meanwhile, you're doing what, exactly?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34I know that you said that your brother needed
0:26:34 > 0:26:35a lot of looking after, but, come on,
0:26:35 > 0:26:38this kinds of takes the biscuit, doesn't it?
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Come on, Stuart.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43There must have been summat in it for you, mustn't there?
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Where were you between 6pm on the Wednesday, October 12th,
0:26:49 > 0:26:51and 6am Thursday morning?
0:26:55 > 0:26:57- We, erm...- We?
0:26:57 > 0:26:58KNOCKING
0:27:12 > 0:27:15You, er, didn't seem to have any bunnies.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Thought I'd boil a kettle instead.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22You fancy a cuppa?
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Yeah.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36I don't really do awkward silences, so...
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Please. Let me explain.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Leo, it's fine.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41No, it's not.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46Thing is, I have a partner.
0:27:48 > 0:27:49- Her name is Janet.- I knew that.
0:27:51 > 0:27:56So, that makes me as culpable as you.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02So, why don't we do what I always do in embarrassing situations?
0:28:02 > 0:28:05I just...get my brush and I... sweep it under the nearest carpet.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07LAUGHS
0:28:08 > 0:28:10I'm sorry.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12I'm sorry, I should have told you...
0:28:12 > 0:28:14No, no, no, no...
0:28:15 > 0:28:18..confessions, or...
0:28:18 > 0:28:20guilt, or...
0:28:20 > 0:28:22talking it over.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24I have no truck with any of it.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Just brush...carpet.
0:28:29 > 0:28:30Right.
0:28:43 > 0:28:44Where are you going?
0:28:44 > 0:28:47I'm gonna visit Charlie Thompson. I told Stuart I'd sit with him.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49- Is he awake?- No.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54What happens if, when he wakes up, he says that Stuart...?
0:28:56 > 0:28:59Well...I promised Stuart.
0:29:02 > 0:29:03Ready?
0:29:04 > 0:29:05Yeah.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46How long have you been having a relationship
0:29:46 > 0:29:47with Stuart Thompson, Miss Barron?
0:29:51 > 0:29:52A year or so.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Or so?
0:29:57 > 0:29:5818 months.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Was it just sex, or was there more to it?
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Are you asking if I have feelings for Deborah?
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Yeah. Yeah, I suppose I am.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Well, then, yes, I suppose I did.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15Did? Do?
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Either way, we're not exactly talking
0:30:20 > 0:30:23about one of the century's greatest romances, are we?
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Or maybe you're downplaying the significance of the relationship
0:30:26 > 0:30:29to try and make it sound less likely
0:30:29 > 0:30:32that it was a motive for you killing your family.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38We never talked about being together longer term.
0:30:38 > 0:30:39Why not?
0:30:42 > 0:30:44I don't know. It...just never came up.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Stuart had Justine.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Justine was my friend.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03See, this is what I don't get.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06You arrive home...
0:31:07 > 0:31:11..the worst thing imaginable has just happened...
0:31:11 > 0:31:13to you...
0:31:14 > 0:31:16..and your family.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20And most people's first reaction would be to just call us
0:31:20 > 0:31:21and to tell the truth,
0:31:21 > 0:31:24because the truth is going to lead us
0:31:24 > 0:31:26and help us to find the person who's responsible
0:31:26 > 0:31:30for doing this terrible thing to the people that you love the most.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34But you didn't tell the truth.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39Why didn't you just tell us there and then what you were doing?
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Because I was ashamed.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51We were at his brother's flat, at Kevin's flat.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54Kevin borrowed my car, drove it to Nottingham,
0:31:54 > 0:31:58and then he could use my card in the hotel. That was how it worked.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02And in return you got to shag your lady friend round at his.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05No meeting in seedy hotels - home from home.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Scatter rose petals on the bed for you and all, did he?
0:32:11 > 0:32:13And he was at the flat all night?
0:32:15 > 0:32:16You sure about that?
0:32:18 > 0:32:19I got your message, yes.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22How else do you think I knew to come home?
0:32:22 > 0:32:25Yeah, three and a half hours after I contacted you to you turning up.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29The message just said I had to contact you, that it was important.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31I thought we'd been burgled or something.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35So you waited for your brother to get back.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37So I could come back in my car,
0:32:37 > 0:32:42so my wife wouldn't think I was having a bloody affair.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46But you kept telling us that you were at home all night. Why?
0:32:47 > 0:32:50Because if you were with Stuart Thompson,
0:32:50 > 0:32:54you couldn't possibly know where your son was on the night of the murders.
0:32:57 > 0:33:03The phone call to the emergency services - that was you wasn't it?
0:33:07 > 0:33:09If you suspected that your son was involved,
0:33:09 > 0:33:12why didn't you come straight to us?
0:33:12 > 0:33:15Because he can't ever know I gave him up.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Charge her with perverting the course of justice.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27You must have been really sure to make that call.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31In fact, you must have been positive.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33What is it you're not telling us, Deborah?
0:33:54 > 0:33:58He always...had a thing for Gemma.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Everyone knew.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Bang goes your Daddy-Did-It theory.
0:34:20 > 0:34:21I'm getting used to it.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23MOBILE RINGS
0:34:25 > 0:34:27So you got me message?
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Of course you have reservations about Stuart seeing Charlie,
0:34:29 > 0:34:31'I see that, but Ellie is not a witness, is she?'
0:34:31 > 0:34:35Surely in the circumstances, it'd be best for her to see her dad.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38All right, I'll see what I can do...
0:34:39 > 0:34:41HE SIGHS
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Both Thompson brothers still have alibis.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49- We're in the Dark Ages here. - We got plenty.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Photos tell us that Joel Barron was at the scene.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Got the murder weapon underneath the shed.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57Yeah, but why visit Kevin Thompson two nights later?
0:34:57 > 0:34:59I mean, what's he trying to do?
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Whether he talks or not, we've got enough to charge him, guv.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07I'm off. Don't stay up too late.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21You can see Ellie.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Chaperoned, but still.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Social Services will call you later on.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Thanks.
0:35:35 > 0:35:36I don't know what to say.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42To her.
0:35:42 > 0:35:43I don't know what to say to her.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47She'll ask about her mum.
0:35:47 > 0:35:51I'm sure her care worker will give you some advice.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55And you're her dad, you know? You'll know what she needs.
0:35:57 > 0:35:58Yeah.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17My colleague thinks we should charge you with murder here and now.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19What do you think?
0:36:31 > 0:36:36You might want to tell your client it's in his interests to start talking to me,
0:36:36 > 0:36:40or he's going to find himself locked up for a very long time.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Kevin was my friend.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55I went to him cos I didn't know where else to go to.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Why? Because you were scared?
0:37:01 > 0:37:03What were you scared of, Joel?
0:37:09 > 0:37:11- Why didn't you charge him? - Cos it doesn't feel right.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14Not even close. Look, I may be screwing up everywhere else in my life,
0:37:14 > 0:37:17- but I've still got me guts. - Come on, guv.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19First he runs, and then we nick him, he shuts up,
0:37:19 > 0:37:21even though he knows how bad that looks. Why?
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- Cos he's guilty. - No, you plonker, cos he's scared.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27He's scared and wants to be locked up cos he thinks it's safer in here than out there.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31- HARRY:- What's Joel said?
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Not a great deal.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36But the photo of the dead girl's not helping his case.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39All that actually proves is that he saw her sometime after she was killed.
0:37:43 > 0:37:44Gemma?
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Gem?
0:37:47 > 0:37:50You have an inexplicable event married to an inexplicable time gap.
0:37:50 > 0:37:51Gemma was killed face down.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54She lay for several hours face down and then someone turned her body.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11He called on them every morning, didn't he? We know Mum had a key to the property.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15Could he have just come in as usual, found Gemma, turned her?
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Joel told me that he that he wanted this to stop.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39But he never said how. Could he have shown these photos to someone else?
0:38:43 > 0:38:46Joel's angry, he's got big news, but he hasn't got the bottle.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50What if he shows those photos to the one person he thinks WILL do something about it?
0:38:50 > 0:38:51Frank McAteer.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01I had a little dig.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Off-licence at the end of Magnolia Drive.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Checked the CCTV, and night of the murder,
0:39:06 > 0:39:09his Subaru was parked right outside.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28Well, it's made something. I'm not quite sure what.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32How could something like that penetrate the human skull?
0:39:32 > 0:39:35The temporal bone is relatively thin.
0:39:35 > 0:39:41That looks to me like it's definitely a smaller part of a larger, heavier object.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54So what's this all about?
0:39:54 > 0:39:58Monday the 17th October, 12:02pm. Persons present, myself - DC Myers,
0:39:58 > 0:40:00and Frank McAteer.
0:40:04 > 0:40:05Thanks a lot.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29Right, well, let's have one last look.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35I guess we share it out, go room to room.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39- MYERS:- Perhaps you could tell us why your car was parked
0:40:39 > 0:40:41at the end of Magnolia Drive on Wednesday night.
0:40:42 > 0:40:43Was it?
0:40:43 > 0:40:45We have CCTV footage.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49If you say so.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55Did you visit number 26 Magnolia Drive on Wednesday night?
0:40:55 > 0:40:57No.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59RONSON: He's got five previous convictions.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01Nothing in the last ten years, but still...
0:41:01 > 0:41:04All because his daughter was sleeping with her stepbrother?
0:41:04 > 0:41:08Dads and their daughters. Always want 'em to stay little girls.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10His ears...
0:41:12 > 0:41:14DI Ronson has entered the room.
0:41:31 > 0:41:32So, Frank...
0:41:34 > 0:41:38..when did you find out Charlie was shagging Gemma, your daughter?
0:41:39 > 0:41:40How did that make you feel,
0:41:40 > 0:41:43seeing the photos,
0:41:43 > 0:41:45to know that they were shagging each other's brains out,
0:41:45 > 0:41:47your daughter and him?
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Your daughter.
0:41:52 > 0:41:53Your son.
0:41:55 > 0:41:56How did you know?
0:41:58 > 0:42:02I noticed at the hospital Charlie suffers from hypertrichosis pinnae.
0:42:02 > 0:42:06It's a condition that causes excessive hair growth
0:42:06 > 0:42:07localised round the ears.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11See where the hair's growing back there? And there's some scar tissue.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14He's probably nicked himself shaving at some point.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20OK, so the kid's got hairy ears.
0:42:20 > 0:42:21So does Frank McAteer.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25Hypertrichosis pinnae is a genetic condition.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28It's Y chromosome related, meaning it passes from father to son,
0:42:28 > 0:42:29only Stuart doesn't have it.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33All right. But you can't say for certain that Frank's Charlie's father.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37Not yet. But I can tell you, in all likelihood, Stuart isn't.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16HE SIGHS
0:43:18 > 0:43:21Joel came to see me in the garage.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24I mean, I hardly knew the kid.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27He was angry...
0:43:30 > 0:43:33..and he showed me the photographs.
0:43:33 > 0:43:36Why do you think he brought them to you, Frank?
0:43:40 > 0:43:43Maybe it's because he knew you wouldn't like it.
0:43:45 > 0:43:48Of course, what he didn't realise was how much you wouldn't like it.
0:43:48 > 0:43:50And then you did what, Frank?
0:43:52 > 0:43:54I rang Justine.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58Said that I needed to talk to her.
0:43:58 > 0:44:03She said I could drop round later. No car. Stuart was away.
0:44:03 > 0:44:07She was always worried about what the neighbours might think.
0:44:07 > 0:44:12So, you went round...
0:44:12 > 0:44:14showed her the photographs...
0:44:21 > 0:44:22Where did you get these?
0:44:22 > 0:44:23Doesn't matter.
0:44:27 > 0:44:31Did you pay someone to take them?
0:44:31 > 0:44:33No, of course not.
0:44:36 > 0:44:38OK...
0:44:38 > 0:44:40I'll have a chat to them, OK?
0:44:40 > 0:44:43Yeah, well, that's not enough. It's got to stop.
0:44:44 > 0:44:47They're 16 and 17 years old. I can't stop them doing...
0:44:47 > 0:44:49It has to stop!
0:44:51 > 0:44:55So after all these years, you want to come play dad?
0:44:55 > 0:44:58It's not a bloody cameo role, Frank!
0:45:06 > 0:45:11It's unfortunate, and it's embarrassing...
0:45:14 > 0:45:17..but they're just two kids having sex. The way you're going on
0:45:17 > 0:45:19- you'd think they were related. - They are!
0:45:22 > 0:45:24I had...
0:45:27 > 0:45:31..a bit of a thing with Stuart's wife, Tanya.
0:45:41 > 0:45:43Couple of months after Charlie was born...
0:45:46 > 0:45:48..she told me he was mine.
0:45:50 > 0:45:52And then...she was dead.
0:45:53 > 0:45:56You didn't tell Stuart?
0:45:57 > 0:46:00Stuart was crazy about Tanya. She was dead.
0:46:00 > 0:46:03Charlie was all he had.
0:46:10 > 0:46:12She's in the playroom. Just through here.
0:46:16 > 0:46:18Ellie...
0:47:12 > 0:47:14- NIKKI:- Leo?
0:47:22 > 0:47:24PHONE RINGS
0:47:26 > 0:47:27Hi, Nikki.
0:47:27 > 0:47:31We think we've found the weapon used in the initial attack on Justine.
0:47:31 > 0:47:33It's a child's hobby horse.
0:47:34 > 0:47:36'It's in Ellie's bedroom with all her other toys.
0:47:36 > 0:47:40'Dimensions of the 3-D fabrication match the handles on either side of the head,
0:47:40 > 0:47:42'and Gill thinks that she's found blood traces.'
0:47:42 > 0:47:46'In Ellie's bedroom? The attack was in the kitchen, it must have come from the kitchen.'
0:47:46 > 0:47:49'Well, it could have been. Just means the attacker moved it.'
0:48:04 > 0:48:05Oh...
0:48:06 > 0:48:08Oh, yes...
0:48:21 > 0:48:24'Jack and Jill, in the ditch,'
0:48:24 > 0:48:28I spy the wicked witch.
0:48:33 > 0:48:35Wicked witch over the wood,
0:48:37 > 0:48:39I spy Robin Hood.
0:48:39 > 0:48:42Robin Hood in his den,
0:48:44 > 0:48:46I spy the bears again.
0:48:48 > 0:48:52Three bears, out hunting,
0:48:52 > 0:48:56- They spy Baby Bunting... - We found Ellie's hobby horse, Stuart.
0:48:57 > 0:49:01Baby Bunting, safe and dry...
0:49:01 > 0:49:03You put it back in her room.
0:49:04 > 0:49:06Who else would do that?
0:49:07 > 0:49:10I spy plum pie.
0:49:13 > 0:49:14Eh...?
0:49:15 > 0:49:20Erm...do you want to take her for a bit, yeah?
0:49:21 > 0:49:23Bye-bye, gorgeous.
0:49:24 > 0:49:28There's a good girl. There we go...
0:49:30 > 0:49:32Shall we go?
0:50:02 > 0:50:03Erm...
0:50:04 > 0:50:08..when Justine called, Deborah was asleep.
0:50:08 > 0:50:11Tablets - once she's gone, she's gone.
0:50:14 > 0:50:16MOBILE TEXT ALERT
0:50:19 > 0:50:23'She said she needed me back home. That it was urgent.'
0:50:23 > 0:50:25Gemma and Charlie...
0:50:27 > 0:50:29..they were sleeping together.
0:50:29 > 0:50:31But you were meant to be in Nottingham.
0:50:33 > 0:50:35That's what you told her, right?
0:50:38 > 0:50:40Well, if they're having sex, that's down to you.
0:50:40 > 0:50:43Me? How the hell d'you work that out?
0:50:43 > 0:50:46Cos you're their mum. You set the tone, they can do what they want,
0:50:46 > 0:50:48they can watch what they want, on their own...
0:50:48 > 0:50:51So I'm a hopeless mother? Just cos I'm not bloody Tanya!
0:50:51 > 0:50:54- It's nothing to do with Tanya. - You don't think that's relevant? - Course not.
0:50:54 > 0:50:57From day one, it's always been Charlie, the little prince,
0:50:57 > 0:50:59- and me and Gem feeding on the scraps...- He's my son!
0:50:59 > 0:51:01No difference between them, we said.
0:51:01 > 0:51:03Of course that's what we said - but when it comes down to it
0:51:03 > 0:51:07I'm bound to have stronger feelings for him, not because he's Tanya's, because he's mine.
0:51:07 > 0:51:09- No, he isn't.- What?
0:51:14 > 0:51:16He's not yours, Stuart.
0:51:18 > 0:51:19What?
0:51:20 > 0:51:22Look at him.
0:51:22 > 0:51:25He's not yours.
0:51:25 > 0:51:27He's Frank's.
0:51:30 > 0:51:31She did that to you.
0:51:33 > 0:51:37Your lovely Tanya did that to you.
0:51:40 > 0:51:44Well, how long have you... how long have you known that?
0:51:44 > 0:51:46I didn't know until tonight.
0:51:47 > 0:51:50- No, don't bullshit me.- Tonight!
0:52:05 > 0:52:07But Justine wasn't dead, was she?
0:52:10 > 0:52:12JUSTINE GROANS IN PAIN
0:52:29 > 0:52:30So you stabbed her.
0:52:35 > 0:52:37STUART GRUNTS, JUSTINE GASPS
0:52:43 > 0:52:45Mum?
0:52:45 > 0:52:46Go to bed, Gem.
0:52:46 > 0:52:48Mum and I had a row, yeah?
0:52:48 > 0:52:51She's gone out to walk it off.
0:52:51 > 0:52:53OK? Yes?
0:52:53 > 0:52:55Yes? Yes...?
0:52:55 > 0:52:56OK...
0:52:59 > 0:53:00OK.
0:53:14 > 0:53:16I just...
0:53:17 > 0:53:23..couldn't see a way through it.
0:53:37 > 0:53:41'I just sat there for about an hour,
0:53:41 > 0:53:42'and then it all became clear.'
0:54:01 > 0:54:03'The kids...
0:54:03 > 0:54:05'can't know what I've done.'
0:54:08 > 0:54:09'They just can't know.'
0:54:21 > 0:54:23CAR APPROACHING
0:54:26 > 0:54:28See you, Charlie. >
0:54:34 > 0:54:36Charlie Thompson, please.
0:54:36 > 0:54:38Haven't you heard?
0:54:38 > 0:54:40He's out of his coma and chatting to his dad.
0:54:42 > 0:54:44Well, maybe we could...
0:54:44 > 0:54:49we could do something on a weekend or something...
0:54:50 > 0:54:53But you...you didn't kill Ellie.
0:54:57 > 0:54:59Why didn't you kill Ellie?
0:55:10 > 0:55:12'When I looked down at her...
0:55:14 > 0:55:17'..she was all I've got to be proud of.'
0:55:26 > 0:55:28She had nothing to do with any of it.
0:55:30 > 0:55:32She was my future.
0:55:35 > 0:55:37And now you don't have a future.
0:55:39 > 0:55:41And nor do they.
0:55:41 > 0:55:45Justine, Gemma, Kevin.
0:55:46 > 0:55:49And be under no illusions.
0:55:49 > 0:55:51His blood's on your hands, Stuart.
0:55:51 > 0:55:55I think in the end he knew what you'd done...
0:55:57 > 0:55:58..he couldn't live with it.
0:55:58 > 0:56:00How will you?
0:56:35 > 0:56:39# But, baby, now I'm here for you
0:56:40 > 0:56:44# Cos, baby, yeah
0:56:45 > 0:56:48# I am so in love with you
0:56:48 > 0:56:55# I'm gonna stand by my woman now
0:56:56 > 0:57:03# I'm gonna stand by my woman now
0:57:04 > 0:57:10# Cos I can't live my life alone... #
0:57:11 > 0:57:15- Admit it, you've enjoyed yourself. - I'm happy to. I've had a lovely time.
0:57:15 > 0:57:20Hold the front page: Perennial Bachelor Enjoys Family Party Shock!
0:57:20 > 0:57:22Family...
0:57:22 > 0:57:24Family?
0:57:25 > 0:57:27You never know. Maybe.
0:57:28 > 0:57:30One day. Might be nice.
0:57:32 > 0:57:38# I'm gonna stand by my woman now
0:57:39 > 0:57:46# I'm gonna stand by my woman now
0:57:48 > 0:57:54# Cos I can't live my life alone
0:57:54 > 0:57:57# Without a home
0:57:58 > 0:58:01# Without a home. #
0:58:06 > 0:58:09My brother was an evil man. I feel guilty about what he did.
0:58:09 > 0:58:11Aaagh!
0:58:11 > 0:58:13- Nikki! - MAN SCREAMS
0:58:13 > 0:58:15Leo, what is going on? Where are you?
0:58:15 > 0:58:18- Do you really think that her work got her killed? - I can't prove anything.
0:58:18 > 0:58:21My daughter has spina bifida.
0:58:21 > 0:58:24Are you personally going to guarantee her safety?
0:58:24 > 0:58:28I'd rather go down for a bit of dealing than double murder.
0:58:28 > 0:58:31My sense was that she'd made some kind of breakthrough.
