Justine?

Justine, it's me,
Deb. Used my key.

Justine?

Oh! Oh, Ellie!

Oh, come here,
darling. Oh, dear.

Oh, come on.

Oh, come on, sweet pea.

Let's go and find out
where Mummy is, shall we?

Oh, poor you.

Come on, then.

Come on, then. What a good girl.

Let's go down the stairs.

Good girl.

Oh.

It's OK.

It's OK, Ellie.

It's OK.

Let's go and find
where Mummy is.

Let's go and find...

Oh! Oh, God! Oh, God!

Testator silens

Costestes e spiritu

Silentium...

And not a magnolia in sight.

Now, now, don't
be such a misery.

Put your party face on.

Please don't do that ever again.

Yep, we'll go down the
park. Try out your new boots.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, all right.

Look, you be good a lad for Mum.

DI Ronson. Jim.

Harry Cunningham.

- Three dead?
- Well, not quite.

Paramedics worked on the son at
the scene. Managed to resuscitate him.

Took a couple of cracks to the
skull. They're talking brain damage.

Ex-husband. Frank McAteer.
Father of Gemma, the dead girl.

- They're nice people, might be fun.
- Oh, look!

We could've just slipped away
after the service, you know that?

And miss the unveiling?

- What?
- They've commissioned a statue of you.

You better know when you're
swingin' round the room...

Please kill me now.

Everything all right?

Hi, it's Nikki Alexander. Yeah, hi.
My colleague, Harry Cunningham,

was just called out to
an address in Staines.

Can you just confirm the names
of the victims for me, please?

One day I was over at their
lab, picking something up

and Justine was
pregnant, very pregnant.

Almost full-term, in fact,

and she had an
eclamptic seizure.

Luckily, I was able to help her.

Thank you.

What was that about?

The receptionist at
Forensics, Justine Thompson.

- Yeah, what did she want?
- She's been murdered.

It's not as if I
knew her very well.

And after the party
we spoke on the phone,

but just work stuff.

Where's the father?

Oh, we haven't managed
to contact him yet.

- Stuart, isn't it?
- Yeah.

Ah, our angel of mercy! Doctor!

- What can I get you? Beer? Wine?
- Beer'd be great. Thank you.

Great, and Mrs. C?

No, Nikki's not... I mean, that is
to say we're not married, we're...

- Just colleagues.
- We're colleagues.

That's all right, it's
allowed. OK, come through.

Why'd you break it down
when I'm not in the mood?

I feel like dancin', dancin'

Rather be home with
no one if I can't get down

With you-hoo-hoo...

Red-letter day.

Young Gemma was
due to take a dance exam.

The initial attack on
the mother was here.

No void areas... Probably
attacked from behind.

Blood pattern analysis suggests
the blow to the head happened in here

but she's still conscious.

She somehow manages to
get herself out of the kitchen...

Makes it to the stairs.

Trying to go up?

That's where her kids were.

So the killer followed her
here, stabbed her in the back.

But her body wasn't found here?

- No.
- Then she was moved.

Blood loss on this scale, she would
almost certainly have been dead.

So her attacker
moved her from here,

through into the front room.

- I know. Anyway!
- I know, you need to stop.

Oh... Look at him.

Chatting to a beautiful woman,
and he hasn't even had to pay her.

She's smilier than
I thought she'd be.

Pathologist.

I speak to her on the
phone most weeks.

It's funny, though. I had her
down as more of a librarian type.

So she's not with...?

No. Why? Do you fancy a crack?

Just think, Debs... He knows
your body better than you do.

The head injury wasn't
caused by a knife.

The wound's larger.

Roughly circular.

So he used two weapons?

Why change?

Rigor firmly established
in the larger joints.

She's been dead... in
this environment a while.

Roughly 10 to 12 hours.

It's 11 now, so... that takes
us from 11 till 1 in the morning.

Does that fit with
your time frame?

We don't have a time frame.

Well, we've just started interviews,
but we think she was last seen

pulling on the drive
at about six last night.

That's where the boy was lying.

Charlie Thompson - Justine's
stepson, but Stuart's son.

Oh! Oh, God! Oh, God!

We've got press at
the end of the road.

Keep them there. You found Dad?

No.

If he's responsible, he
knows he can't escape this.

Doubt he'll even try.

So he's topped himself.

Focus on the car, Billy.

Picnic areas, lay-bys, woodland,

anywhere he can
park out of sight.

Use your imagination.
20 miles, max.

Yeah, sure.

Got everything you need?

Did SOCO find any weapons?

They think the knife used on
the mum came from the kitchen.

They found one with
a similar blade profile

washed up and sitting
on the draining board.

- They've taken it for analysis.
- Washed up?

As if he'd just finished
chopping the veg.

But the weapon used to inflict the
head injury, the weapon used on the boy?

Not found them yet.

I'll bet they came
from the house too.

Using a knife you
found in the kitchen?

Doesn't sound like the
murderer came with intent.

We've considered burglary,
but nothing's been taken,

no sign of forced
entry and all...

all the windows and
doors were locked.

Are you ready for upstairs?

What's upstairs?

This party is so retarded...

Ah, can we get a photo?

Oh, quick one. I'm not
very good with babies.

You're a natural. Look at her.

Here, come and get a
photo of the doc with Ellie.

I wouldn't mind a few
photos of his girlfriend.

Yeah? You've got to
admire his ambition, eh?

- Dad.
- Come on.

The toddler was in the cot
when the neighbor came in.

Any sign of her
room being entered?

No.

Suggesting he's making a
distinction between Gemma and her.

Also suggests he
knew who slept where.

Are you ready?

You'd think she'd
just fallen asleep.

Suffocated?

Possibly.

Rigor's established
in the fingers, but...

still getting going in the
elbows, which means...

She was killed later
than her mother.

Best guess?

Nine to ten hours,
approximately.

Somewhere between half two
and half three in the morning.

Leo!

Good to meet you at last.

Gill.

What?

Nothing...

Just on the basis of all those phone
calls, I'd built up a mental image.

Do I look disappointed?

Come on, I'll show
you the Bat cave.

Pathology meets Forensics.

It's like Nixon in
China all over again.

Our new toy.

3-D fabricator.

We think he was an
eight-year-old boy.

Police found two-thirds
of his skull in the Thames.

CT scan, imaging software,
3-D printer, and there you have it.

Maybe now they can
find out who he was.

Jealous?

A little.

Is that why you're here?

To steal my secrets?

No.

I thought you might not have heard
yet and I wanted to tell you myself,

not over the phone.

It's about your receptionist,
Justine Thompson.

So he kills Mum.

Waits an hour or
so and kills daughter.

And at some point finds time
to knock a bloody great big hole

in the son's skull too.

Taking his time.

No, there's no running
home from this one.

Because you think he
already was at home.

You're assuming it's the father.

Why? Because statistics say so?

Statistics also suggest that...

perpetrators of familicide very
rarely leave any family member alive.

- True.
- And Ellie was untouched.

The family dead.

Dad vanished, incommunicado.

Hardly statistical whitewash.

Look, I don't want it to
be him any more than you.

Choice between Dad or some toe
rag who's just walked in off the street,

you want it to be
the toe rag, but...

we don't get to choose.

Oi! Stop perving
Gemma up, you pong.

I wasn't.

Joel?

Joel!

Why do you always
keep this door locked?

Are you OK?

Are you?

Linda, it's me.

Just give me a ring back.

Where's Family Liaison?

Two down and
rushed off their feet.

They said they'd be
here as soon as they can.

Ring them again.
Give them a rocket.

Can't leave the
ex-husband out there all day.

Oh, and Billy, get a
team doing door-to-door.

There would have been
eyes all over this house.

I want to know when every
member of this family checked in.

I want to know if anyone saw
any strangers, any vehicles.

Check private surveillance,
neighborhood watch, the works.

Sure.

- Have you found him yet?
- Mr. McAteer...

He did this. You
know he did this.

I don't know anything
for sure right now.

Do you?

Did you know Stuart
Thompson well?

Yeah, all my life.

You were friends?

When we were younger.

But then he married
your ex, Justine.

Bet that put the cat
among the pigeons.

Not really. We were
done. You move on.

But you kept in contact?

You think I'd
abandon my daughter?

It's hard, I know it is, but try
not to jump to any conclusions.

Things may not
be what they seem.

Do you believe that?

Course not. Case like this?

You bet your life Daddy did it.

Baby has to be Charlie, I think,

so I suppose that must
be Stuart's first wife.

Charlie's at the hospital.

No one seems able to tell
me if he has other relatives.

- I thought I might give him a visit.
- Yeah.

The little girl's been taken
into temporary care, apparently.

They think Stuart's responsible.

I know that psychologically, statistically,
they're probably right, but...

I remember...

when we were
leaving here, thinking...

"I'd quite like that.

"Just an ordinary family."

That was just one day.

I guess no one really knows
what goes on inside a family.

Can I help you, sir?

What's going on?

Tried to stop him, guv, but
we got a fella heading your way.

Charlie! Justine! Justine!

Where are they?

- Get off!
- Let him go, let him go, let him go!

Let him go!

- All right, all right.
- Get off me!

All right, all right!

- No!
- All right, all right.

No! Get off me! Get off me!

Stuart?

Stuart.

It's Harry.

It's Harry Cunningham.
You remember me?

I'm sorry.

Mr. Thompson, we'll
need to speak to you.

- Now?
- Won't take long.

What if you're wrong?

Spoke to his employers.

They said Stuart was
worried he'd lost his touch.

He hadn't made a
sale in seven months.

How did that affect him?

70% of his take-home
was commission-generated.

So how does he
keep up the lifestyle?

He borrowed. Borrowed like mad.

I checked out his credit history,
and he really was about to lose the lot.

Go on.

OK, he's got a joint bank account
and that's kept funded all right.

But then he's got a
separate sole bank account

and it is a proper
horror show, guv.

I'm talking about
nine grand overdrawn.

That's not unusual nowadays.

Add on 35 grand's
worth of credit card debt.

And another 20 grand's worth
of car finance secured against...

- Wait for it...
- The house.

Just missed his third payment
to the finance company.

And to cap it all, hasn't paid
the mortgage in two months.

- Sinking fast.
- His job's on the slide.

He's going to lose the house.

It's textbook context
for family annihilation.

Looks like you were right, guv.

OK, the neighbor who
found them. Have a word.

- But...
- I'll handle the father. Go on.

I suppose I should try to
arrange some kind of counseling.

That's what you're
supposed to do, isn't it?

Might help.

Stuart must be devastated.

Yes, dreadful.

Just when they seemed
to have turned a corner.

Justine left him for a while.

Couple of years back.

For a few months
after Ellie was born.

But then she went back.

I got the impression
things were on the mend.

Where were you
last night, Stuart?

Nottingham.

Business?

Where did you stay?

Stuart?

Where did you stay?

Did Justine ever say anything?
Did they have a good marriage?

They struggled sometimes.

Justine used to say
Tanya cast a long shadow...

- Tanya?
- His first wife.

And is Tanya still on the scene?

She died. A car crash.

Charlie must have
been less than a year old.

Stuart raised him.

Really loves that boy.

We've spoken to
Charlie's friends.

They said they dropped him
off at the end of the road about

quarter to three this morning.

Is he usually out that late?

Has your son ever
been out that late before?

Not when I was around.

Nikki's gone to see him, Stuart.

She'll talk to his doctors
and... stay a while.

I just want to see how
he's doing, that's all.

- Calm yourself...
- Look, you have to let me see him.

- I'm his uncle!
- Could take a seat...?

- I don't want to take a...!
- Excuse me, are you Charlie's uncle?

- Yeah, who are you?
- I'm Nikki Alexander.

Sorry, you don't know me, but I met
your brother a couple of years ago.

Did you sleep with the
curtains closed last night?

Yeah, I think so.

So you didn't see
anything or hear anything?

No. I'm sorry.

No need to be sorry, mate.

You're actually the same age
as the boy, Charlie, aren't you?

And Gemma too?

Yeah, so are you
guys all friends, then?

Gemma, mostly.

Joel, can you think of anyone who
would have wanted to hurt Gemma?

What about her uncle, Kevin
Thompson? What's he like?

Well, your mum said that
you guys, you really get along.

That you like your
motorbikes and stuff, so...

What did Gemma
think about Kevin?

She didn't like him.

Extradural hematoma,
cerebral contusion.

Whoever attacked him
hit him more than once.

- And hard.
- But he'll be OK?

Hard to tell.

So he may never recover?

Tenner says that she was
shagging a neighbor and he found out.

Got time for a swift one?

No, not tonight.

See, that's why I'm
never having kids.

They steal your life.

That's him. That's
Kevin Thompson.

You know him?

Yeah, I nicked him
when I was in uniform.

Shoplifting to feed his habit. I
thought the name was familiar.

This family gets more and more
interesting by the minute, doesn't it?

OK, we're missing
something here.

OK, let's dig into the
Thompson brothers.

Find out who is
this Uncle Kevin,

why is he calling on Deborah
Barron and where was he last night?

And the Stuart Thompson
story. Put some heat under it.

There's a significant
disparity in times of death.

Er... The mother,
Justine, was killed first.

But there's then a time
gap of as much as two hours,

which can't really be explained
by environmental factors.

So I'd like to get on with the
postmortem as soon as possible.

I don't think that's
a very good idea.

You knew Justine,
you'd met her daughter.

Fleetingly. But...

Still...

I think I'd better do
the postmortems.

OK.

You decided to pass this one up?

DI Ronson, Dr. Nikki Alexander.

- Hi.
- Hi.

The temporal bone on the
left side has been pierced...

and the entry wound
is roughly circular.

Surrounding bone has fractured.

There's evidence of blunt
trauma to the surrounding skin.

There's contusion and swelling
evident above the left ear,

which suggests, first of all,
that the blow didn't kill her.

As for the weapon, I
don't know what it was,

but whatever it
was that hit her,

it had a protruding part
that entered into her skull

and was part of something larger that
accounted for the surrounding bruising...

and it must have been
pretty heavy as well.

The middle meningeal
artery has ruptured...

BPA patterning at scene was
consistent with this kind of injury.

There were no void areas.

Well, that suggests that the
attacker approached her from behind.

Speculative, but...

Yeah, it's supported
by the fact that there

are no defense marks
on her hands or arms.

So it looks like the
victim was either

unaware that the attacker
was approaching from behind...

or that she was comfortable
enough to turn her back on him.

There are two stab wounds
to the middle of the back.

As I say, I think she was still
alive when she was stabbed.

Maybe unconscious.

- Where was she found again?
- The living room floor.

But we think she died
at the bottom of the stairs

and was moved postmortem.

Stab wounds to the back
have pierced the right lung

and the heart respectively.

Cause of death is hypovolemic
shock due to the stab wounds.

So this wouldn't have been
a quiet death, Professor.

No. It would not.

It's a small house. Toddler
and Gemma upstairs.

Why didn't they wake?

How do you know
that they didn't?

Pull Stuart Thompson in.

But we're still waiting on
traffic to check out his journey.

What's happened?

OK, this is the situation.

The mum's dying.

She's screaming.

It's a small house. The
girls would have woken up.

But we know that Gemma was
reassured enough to go back to sleep.

So she must have
known him. Pull him in.

The deceased has
what looks like...

threads of white material
underneath her fingernails.

Could be from the
attacker's clothing.

Or her bed sheet.

Any hypostasis on her back, Leo?

Just give me a chance.

She was violently assaulted,

but she looked for all the
world like she'd just fallen asleep.

That's what you said.
She wasn't just left.

She was arranged.

There's evidence of
hypostasis on her front and back.

According to Dr. Cunningham's
notes, she was found lying on her back.

Which means that she must
have been turned postmortem.

Hypostasis on her
front and her back.

When blood stops
circulating round the body,

gravity pulls it down to a
pool on the lowest point

and you can see evidence of the pool
through the skin, it's called hypostasis.

If Gemma was killed on
her back, we would expect

to see hypostasis on her
back. But just her back, yeah?

- So whoever killed her turned her over?
- Possibly.

But hypostasis takes
several hours to set in.

So she would have to
have been lying on her front

for two to three hours
postmortem before being turned.

So she was killed, she was left and
then she was moved onto her back.

But it happened
much, much later.

The liver and
spleen are enlarged,

but I'm satisfied that
that neither contributed to,

nor was caused by her death.

Seems likely that she was
smothered while asleep on her front.

She was suffocated, she died
and then her body was turned.

Why would somebody do that?

Does it suggest a certain
amount of respect for the victim?

The way she was killed.

That she wasn't stabbed or
bludgeoned, like her mother or brother?

Oh, dear.

I'm sorry to tell you, your
stepdaughter was pregnant

when she died.

Did she have a boyfriend?

What makes you think that?

Cos she would've told her mum.

And your wife would've told you.

Because you had
a good relationship.

Of course... Is
this even relevant?

I'm just trying
to get an insight.

You'd be amazed how
many couples don't even have

two words for each
other one day to the next.

But that wasn't you.

So, if she had any problems,
she'd come to you, and vice versa?

So you talked about stuff?

Of course we talked about stuff.

Did you talk about the
amount of debt you were in?

No.

Did she know you were
about to lose the house?

That must have been
very difficult for you,

having to keep something
so important a secret from her.

Why didn't you tell her?

I just expect you thought
you could sort it all out

before it got out
of hand. Is that it?

What?

He couldn't have done it, guv.

ANPR cams clocked Thompson's BMW
traveling north on Wednesday afternoon

and south again on Thursday
morning. Nothing else.

That just means his
car was in Nottingham.

Nottingham CID interviewed
the hotel receptionist.

They're sending
down CCTV footage.

She actually knows
Thompson personally.

He's stayed there upwards over a
dozen times in the past two years.

She took his credit card payment
in the morning face to face.

He was in Nottingham all
night, guv. Just like he said.

Leo?

- Gill?
- Harry Cunningham?

- Yes.
- Hi.

And you must be Nikki Alexander?

- Hi.
- Leo in?

I think so, yes. He's in
the cutting room, I think.

I brought him a new toy.

Way of saying thank you for
taking the time to visit yesterday.

Oh. LEO: Gill.

- Hi.
- Thanks for coming. Shall we...?

Yeah.

Lovely to see you.

So you could use it to reconstruct
broken or degraded bone?

- Yep.
- Tissue?

Yep.

Could you scan a bite mark?
Build an image of the biter's teeth?

If you can scan it, you
can print it. It'll be magic!

You off?

Yeah, thought I'd go
and sit with Charlie again.

No relatives?

- Kevin Thompson. He was at the hospital.
- Was he?

He went straight from the scene. How
would he have heard about the attack?

Kevin? Stuart's brother Kevin?

Yeah, do you know him?

I know the damage he caused.

About a year ago, Justine was getting
a lot of calls from Kevin Thompson.

She asked him to stop,
but he just kept on ringing

and eventually she had to
get a block put on his number.

And when Nikki went to
visit Charlie in hospital,

she said that Kevin
was already there.

What's odd about that?

Just a few hours after
the bodies had been found.

Stuart couldn't have told him.

Stuart didn't find out until
he showed up at the house.

But any one of a dozen
neighbors could have called him.

Bad news travels fast.

True. But you've already
established that whoever did this

either was allowed into the
house or had means of access.

- Mm.
- You've got two children upstairs asleep.

Mum gets attacked. It's noisy,
and you've said you think it's likely

that one or both of those
children would have woken up

and that somebody would
have had to talk them down.

Mm.

So what about Kevin?

Why do I get the feeling
you know something I don't?

- What's going on?
- It's Uncle Kevin.

He's off his head.

Stuart won't have him in
the house if he's wasted.

Shouldn't be so hard on him.

Is everything all right?

Yes, just my brother. Think
he's come straight from the pub!

- You all right?
- Yeah.

Come on, it's fine, honestly.

Just ignore him.

Oh, what's she doing now?!

Soft cow.

Billy. BILLY: Just in, guv.

CCTV footage from the hotel Stuart
Thompson stayed in in Nottingham.

This is the hotel CCTV
footage from Wednesday night.

- Nottingham CID watch this?
- No.

That's sloppy.

Just interviewed the hotel
receptionist. She seemed to know Stuart

and she confirmed it was him.

Stacey Leach,
ex-prostitute, ex-junkie.

And there he is.

The time and date on
the tape, they can verify it?

Yeah.

Make sure the tech boys
clean it up and get it to Evidence.

- Were you in love with her?
- Justine?

Why did you assume
I meant Justine?

So, were you?

She was married
to my brother, Stuart.

Didn't stop Giggsy.

You, Stuart and Frank,
Justine's first husband.

You used to knock about
together when you were young.

And Justine, she was part
of the scene too, wasn't she?

I bet you fancied her.

Fancied lots of people.

How did you feel when
her and Frank got together?

And later, when she
came on the market again,

who should snap her
up but little brother Stuart!

That's got to hurt.

Tell me about
the nuisance calls.

They weren't nuisance calls.

She blocked your number.

Do you have a key to
26 Magnolia Drive, Kevin?

Yeah.

Where were you on
Wednesday night?

At home.

Alone?

So you don't have anyone who
can verify that's where you were?

No.

Did you know your brother
was going to be away that night?

Yeah.

Do you like him for it?

Maybe.

But you let him go?

Let's see his next move.

Hello.

Hi.

Sounds like everybody's
having a good time.

Yeah, Stuart's
doing his paso doble.

Strictly's got a
lot to answer for.

I should be going, I'm afraid.

Yeah, um...

One question before you do.

Mm?

The world's full
of women, right?

- It is.
- Millions of us.

And yet, here you
are, Harry Cunningham,

unclaimed.

You're good-looking,
got a great job,

still got all your own teeth...

Stuart?

What are you doing here?

Gemma was pregnant.

Mm.

Yeah. I just keep thinking
about all the lads we knew of...

and we thought one of Charlie's
mates could have got her pregnant,

and then I think, "What's
the bloody point? She's dead."

They still won't let me
see my little girl, or Charlie,

which means they
still think I did it.

They're just following
procedure, that's all.

Oh, look, would you
not talk like them!

- I'm sorry.
- It's all right.

I feel like I'm dreaming
with my eyes open.

I just don't know
what to do with myself.

And then I have moments...

where I don't even
think about it, you know?

Like minutes or seconds.

And then it... all
comes rushing in.

Yeah?

It's like getting hit by
a truck, over and over.

Did you get any
sleep last night?

I could arrange a
prescription for you.

- I said I don't want that.
- Could help, a sedative.

To shut this out?

No, I want to feel this.

I deserve it all.

When we see the civil war
being played out in Sierra Leone

and the bloodshed there is...

Just popping down the
shop. Need anything?

No, thanks, lovely.

All right, the kid from
next door's just shown up.

Please, Kev. Just let me in!

Please, Kev!

Kev!

OK, I dunno what that was all
about, but he's off again now.

Shit.

Charlie was slightly jaundiced.
He has a rash on his chest

and his lymph nodes were
right up, so I talked to the nurse

and she said that she didn't think
that the rash was related to his injuries.

She thought that it looked like

it might be something that
you get with mononucleosis.

Glandular fever?

Remember what Leo said in
Gemma's PM? Enlarged liver and spleen.

Not contributory, but present.

I know it might not
be relevant, but...

No, no, no...

Whoa, Charlie.

Stuart said he thought Gemma
didn't have a boyfriend, but...

Wouldn't be the first teenage
girl not to tell her parents.

- No.
- Particularly if it was her stepbrother.

Even if they were having sex, even if
Charlie was the father of Gemma's baby,

they weren't blood related,
they were step-siblings.

Must happen all the time.

Hardly a motive for
double murder, is it?

Someone's left in a hurry.

Joel?

You really do underestimate
your charms, Leo.

Look, what is this?

There are multiple
small abrasions

and signs of blunt trauma
to the face and head.

It has to stop!

- We're in the Dark Ages here, Billy.
- We got plenty.

Photos tell us that Joel
Barron was at the scene.

They're going to say I
killed them. But I never.

Yesterday you questioned
him. Today he's dead.

Joel!

If you want someone to blame,
take a bloody long look in the mirror!
