Previously on Harrow...

- I wanted to find my dad. - And you have. What now?

Now I need my phone.

My phone will prove I didn't kill Max!

Is James in trouble?

I'm not sure he wasn't involved in that boy's death.

Oh, you're moving to Brisbane! Were you gonna tell me?

We're divorcing.

You were lucky to find a solicitor this late in the day.

Sage is my fiancee.

Dr Fairley, I need you to take on more duties.

Supervisory duties.

You'll be supervising Dr Harrow.

You don't give a shit about Fern. You're just using her.

I didn't steal a cent.

If she thought you did, what would she do to you?

I think she'd kill me.

Sometimes, when bodies are released to next of kin,

so are their possessions.

"Mr Schumann's belongings can now be released."

Can you swap the case code with the one attached to your phone?

What sort of trouble is he really in?

You don't have to trust him. You just have to trust me.

I know how hard you tried to find us.

Why didn't you let me?

You would have talked me back.

Thanks for this, Pat.

I don't understand why he's not answering.

- Oh, he's probably still at work. - He works very hard, your brother.

But Jade's car's here, so why isn't she answering?

Aaron?

Jade?

Jade?

- Bryan. Hi. - Are you at work?

On my way. What's up?

Well, I can't find Harrow.

Been calling him all morning but he's not picking up.

And that's my problem because...?

Well, there's a crime scene I'd like him to take a look at.

And you too, so can you drop by 'The Bettie', see if he's there

and I'll text you the details?

- Well, that's not really something... - Thank you.

♪ It's a wonderful life... ♪

Hello?

Door was open.

Grace!

Sorry. I knocked but the...

Daniel? Did you take the towel?

Nichols wants us at a crime scene

but... I can... see you're still busy, so I'll... I'll text you the address.

Grace, listen...

Are you hearing what I'm saying?

There were rows and rows of operators ripping people off.

That's what your brother was into!

How'd you get in there, anyway?

- Got this from his backpack. - You stole it?

Fish, this guy is into some shady shit.

I want to know what he's up to.

I want to know how much trouble he's bringing our way.

Callan!

Do you remember when we were living on the streets?

Breaking into houses?

Do you remember how scared I was?

You didn't look scared.

Neither does he but that doesn't mean he isn't.

Come on, Cal.

Yeah, he's done some shady shit.

But so have you and so have I.

Did you forget about that?

If you don't want to help James, that is fine.

But he's my brother and I'm going to help him.

Grace! Grace. Wait. Wait, wait.

Look, uh, about Tanya...

Oh, no, no. No need to explain.

Who you invite between your sheets is none of my business.

- I see you found Harrow. - Yeah, certainly did.

Everything alright?

Fine.

So, what have we got here?

Jade Freeman. 35 years old.

Found this morning by her neighbour and the boyfriend's sister.

- Strangulation? - Looks that way.

No rigor mortis.

- SOCOs take her temperature? - Yeah. Not yet ambient.

We think she was killed around 4:00am.

- After a violent struggle, it seems. - Mm.

- Was it a break-in? - No signs of forced entry.

Nothing seems to be taken.

And we spoke to the neighbours. No-one heard or saw anything.

In fact, they said it was unusually quiet.

Ms Freeman and her boyfriend used to row quite a bit, apparently.

And, uh, that's him.

Aaron Sharpe.

- Where is he now? - Haven't been able to track him down.

He works nights as a delivery driver.

Senior? The deceased's boyfriend's just arrived.

- Aaron Sharpe? - Should we hold him outside?

No. No, bring him in.

Mr Sharpe, can you confirm that this is your girlfriend, Jade Freeman?

She smashed my boat.

- Has he said anything else? - Not a peep.

Won't even look me in the eye.

We're taking him in for further questioning.

He could be in shock.

Understandable, considering the circumstances.

Yeah, maybe. But you saw his reaction.

Anyway, let me know how you get on.

OK. Let's go.

Uh, he seems completely unaffected.

Gives you the creeps, doesn't it?

Some people react to death differently.

Well... see you back there.

Jade Freeman. Hairdresser.

Last employed at a salon in Spring Hill

but hasn't worked in nearly a year.

She's been living with Aaron Sharpe for almost two years,

just bought a house and about to be engaged.

What, the happy couple?

Have you got her scans?

Her thyroid cartilage is fractured. The larynx too.

And the hyoid bone, suggesting death by manual compression.

Mm-hm. Strangulation.

Given the severity of these contusions around her neck,

as well as these scratch marks,

it's highly likely her attacker used bare hands.

We should swab the wounds. With any luck, we'll find contact DNA.

And we should look under her fingernails for skin, flesh, fibres.

Any sign of a struggle.

Well, there's some dirt here

but no skin or flesh.

Same with the left hand.

How can that be?

- Perhaps she didn't fight back. - Who wouldn't fight back?

Well, she may have been sedated.

I'll order a full tox, just to be sure.

This is interesting.

There's a mottled bruising pattern across her right palm.

What could have done that?

Perhaps she was trying to grab something while she was struggling.

It's an unusual mark.

Let's remove her clothing and see what else we can find.

What could that be from?

Given its shape and position on the body,

I'd say a knee.

From the force of the killer's body weight?

As she was being held down, yes.

But there are no scratches on her arms,

no other bruises or defence wounds that I can see.

Yeah, and no sign of sexual trauma.

But... she did have unprotected sex at some point in the last 24 hours.

Hmm. Then it may have been consensual.

Has CIB sent through Aaron Sharpe's criminal record yet?

There wasn't anything to send.

What, no history of violence?

No speeding tickets, no unpaid parking fines, nothing.

On paper, Aaron Sharpe is a saint.

But you're not convinced.

Well, you saw how he reacted back at the house.

He shut down, wouldn't look at us, talk to anyone.

The actions of a guilty man?

We both know that in most domestic killings,

it's usually the partner who's responsible.

And in most cases, the abuse is ongoing

but you saw her CT scan,

there were no healed bones, no broken teeth,

no other injuries that would suggest ongoing physical abuse.

But that doesn't discount psychological or emotional abuse.

I'll get a fast-track on those swabs.

See if we can get a match from the DNA database.

Has Aaron Sharpe said anything to the cops yet?

Not a bloody word.

He hasn't confirmed or denied anything.

Hasn't asked for a lawyer. Hasn't even touched his sandwich.

Yeah, mind you, those vending machine sandwiches

can be a bit iffy.

- Did you speak to his employer? - Yep.

Turns out Mr Sharpe only partially completed his deliveries.

No-one knows where he was between 2:00 and 6:00am.

Did you track his phone?

Left it in his locker at work.

And get this,

some of the female staff had recently complained about him.

Didn't like how quiet he was. Creeped 'em out a bit.

So, the boss puts him on night shift but that wasn't his only job.

He'd work at a servo during the day

and then he'd wash dishes at a restaurant on the weekends.

He'd often work 18 hours straight.

His partner hadn't worked in 12 months.

Yeah, well, she quit her job after a minor car accident.

Claimed she hurt her neck and couldn't work.

But she's chasing a compensation payout that's not forthcoming.

Do you mind if I have a go?

Did you know the 'Sirene'

was the first ship in the French fleet to carry 40 guns?

And when she was attacked by the HMS 'Agile' off the coast of Martinique,

her captain deliberately beached the ship,

saving the lives of her 84 crew,

most of whom couldn't swim.

Luckily, she was also

the first ship in the French fleet to carry life buoys

but that wasn't until...

1812.

My father had a model of the 'Agile' in his study.

Not as well crafted as the ones in your living room

but... he loved that ship.

Did Jade like your ships?

She didn't think I had time to work on them.

Because of your jobs?

How did it make you feel, to work 18 hours a day, seven days a week?

I did it by choice.

Why didn't Jade work?

She couldn't.

Was it the accident?

You said at the house that Jade broke your ship.

Were you there when she broke it?

Aaron, did you hurt Jade?

I loved her.

Yes, I know. Of course I will.

I'm very aware why I was hired for the job, Doug,

but you need to let me handle this my way.

Dr Fairley?

Dr Fairley.

Aaah! Oh! Renee, I am sorry.

Just warming up my vocal cords for a rehearsal this afternoon.

Mm-hm. Mm.

Look, I won't keep you but I need those reports you made on Dr Harrow,

as a supervisor.

So soon? I wasn't expecting to deliver those...

I'd like them on my desk this afternoon.

Here's those scans you were after.

Thank you.

- Aaron Sharpe's case file? - Yes.

But there's no medical history.

What do you want it for?

Well, I was wondering if he'd been diagnosed with some form of autism.

You think he might be on the spectrum?

He does have difficulty engaging people,

he can't look anyone in the eye

and has a clear obsession with boats.

Mm, that can be problematic.

I know how it sounds

but I just want to know why he's not talking to the police.

Results are in.

Lab has found contact DNA in the neck wounds,

which matches with the semen found on the victim.

CIB have run it through the national database and, uh...

Is it Aaron's?

No.

Alright. You two round the back. Stace, you're with me.

Oh, for... What the hell are you doing here?

Ah, I was passing by and spotted my favourite surly detective

and thought, "I must stop and say hi."

We are trying to apprehend a potential suspect.

Tony Palladino, yes. Multiple convictions for GBH and assault.

Which is exactly why you shouldn't be here. He could be dangerous.

I thought you would have detained him by now.

Jesus Christ, Harrow!

There's a little thing called 'due process',

which, unlike you, I like to follow.

OK. Look, just stay here and keep out of the bloody way.

- Well, don't I always? - Smart-arse.

Sarge, you'd better take a look at this.

That's our guy. Tony Palladino.

Looks like the jack failed.

Do you think he might have bumped it as he was reaching for that bottle?

Yeah, looks that way.

Jeez, he's been here a while, by the smell of him.

At least 19 hours.

How can you be so sure?

Look at his medial canthus.

- His what? - The inner corners of his eye.

What is it, maggots?

The newborn larvae of the green bottle fly,

which take precisely 19 hours to hatch

after the female has laid her eggs.

So, you're telling me this guy was dead

before Jade Freeman was strangled?

Well, I would get Entomology to confirm

but this man did not kill Jade Freeman.

Can you confirm that the man in these photographs is Tony Palladino?

Now, he was a friend to yourself and Jade Freeman. Is that correct?

Mr Sharpe, were you aware

that Mr Palladino and Jade were sleeping together?

We found messages on Mr Palladino's phone

that suggest they were having an affair for quite some time.

Were you aware of that?

What does it matter?

Well, it matters because Mr Palladino

was found dead in his home this afternoon

and Dr Harrow has confirmed time of death

to be several hours before Jade was strangled.

So, have you got any idea how that might have happened?

Aaron,

we're trying to find out what happened to Jade

but we can't do that unless you tell us what you know.

Of course I knew.

OK.

How long have you known?

Mr Sharpe, after you found out Tony and Jade were sleeping together,

did you confront Mr Palladino and kill him

and then strangle your girlfriend?

Will you answer the question, please, Mr Sharpe?

The one thing I don't understand

is how Tony Palladino's DNA ended up on Jade Freeman's throat

when he was dead hours before she was strangled.

Well, we know they had sex before he died, right?

So, maybe the DNA transfer could have come from that.

On her neck?

Well, maybe he had his hands around her neck. I don't know.

But if Aaron was responsible, why didn't we find his DNA on her neck?

- I don't know. Maybe he wore gloves. - Hmm.

We found scratch marks.

Whoever killed Jade Freeman used their bare hands.

Yeah, well, check the swabs again. Maybe the lab missed something.

- Oh! - Well, come on.

You heard what the neighbours said.

Aaron and Jade had arguments all the time.

He knew about the affair, he has no alibi for the night in question

and the one thing he's not saying is that he didn't do it.

But that doesn't mean that he did.

Oh. OK. I know you think there has to be more to this.

But I'm not so sure.

We're gonna book him.

- 'Night. - 'Night.

Oh, um...

Hi. Sage, isn't it?

That's... right.

Uh, this is Ben's stuff.

From my apartment. You don't mind giving it to him, do you?

♪ Take it slowly ♪

♪ Make it float ♪

♪ Make it move, yeah ♪

♪ Float above me... ♪

Hey.

This is unexpected.

- What's going on? - Oh, well...

I thought you might be able to tell me.

I guess she figured it out.

What? Figured what out?

Look, I really have been trying to move on, Grace.

I packed away your things, I doubled down on work,

I... I... I dated.

I really thought I was OK.

And when I met Sage, who's from here, and I got the job up here,

I thought I was good.

That you being here wouldn't matter.

But I was wrong.

Because...

...I never stopped loving you.

So...

...the evidence box is available to be collected tomorrow afternoon.

By who?

Schumann's grand-daughter but...

...she isn't the one who's gonna collect it.

- Why not? - Because...

...you are, Catherine Schumann.

It's pretty neat, huh?

You still... want to do this, right?

What happens after?

Well, what do you mean?

After we get your phone back.

You gonna leave?

Here.

Keep it.

My passport.

My real one.

I'm not going anywhere.

OK. Well, look, um... gotta go to work.

- Bye. - See you.

We shouldn't meet like this.

Don't worry. I haven't been followed.

- What do you want, Mum? - I want to know why you're here.

Is it really to connect with your father?

Why does all this suddenly matter to you?

Because I don't want to lose you again.

You lied to me, Mum.

Not for one year or five years but for 20 years!

You never wanted me to meet him.

I had my reasons.

You know, believe it or not,

I actually like having a dad.

And a half-sister.

It feels right.

But I'm sorry I didn't tell you where I was going.

What I was doing.

But I guess I learnt that from somewhere.

There you are.

- He's all yours. - Thanks, Doctor.

You're releasing Max Zoric?

Why?

Because the authorisation came through this afternoon.

But the police are still investigating his death.

Yes, and we have collected all the evidence required.

Bramson made double sure.

His remains can be released to the next of kin.

- But you don't understand... - No!

I don't.

He's not your son, so why does it matter so much to you?

Because I'm afraid my actual son

might have something to do with this boy's death.

So, you do have a son?

What, and you think he might have killed...

I don't know. I hope not.

I wanted to hold on to Max's body to prove my son didn't.

Should you be telling me this?

You're my friend, Lyle.

You of all people should know this.

And I'm sorry that I didn't tell you sooner.

I didn't know how, I still don't.

Well...

...I'm afraid my hands are tied.

Mila Zoric requested her son's remains

and we have no reason to keep them.

I'm sorry.

- James here? - Nup.

Haven't seen him all night.

- And Fern? - She's still at work.

Is everything OK?

Will you tell James

that Max's body's been collected from the morgue by his mother?

Mila Zoric?

You know she's into some really dodgy shit, right?

Like, 20-to-life dodgy?

And James was involved as well.

Is there something you want to tell me?

You know I love you, man.

But your son?

He's playing you.

He's a liar, he's a thief

and I'm worried he's gonna bring a ton of shit down on you and Fern.

Then what do you suggest I do?

Cut him off!

And Fern has to do the same.

He's my son.

And Fern is your daughter.

If you want to see her behind bars, then don't do anything.

But I can't do that.

And if that's gonna cause a problem between me and you, then...

I'm sorry.

But she's what's important.

Dr Harrow? My name's Naomi Sharpe. I'm Aaron Sharpe's sister.

Oh, yes. We saw each other at the house yesterday.

- How can I help you? - Th-they've charged him. For murder.

They... they think that Aaron killed Jade

and now they're saying that he might have killed Tony Palladino as well.

- Yes. I heard. - You have to... check the body again.

There must be a mistake.

Aaron's not a killer!

He loved Jade and Tony was his friend.

He had no reason to hurt either of them.

That... may not be the case.

We found evidence that Mr Palladino and Jade were having an affair.

Well, then maybe it was Tony that killed her.

I'm afraid that's not possible.

Mr Palladino also died hours before Jade.

No!

Look, please, sit down.

I...

Look... you've spoken to Aaron.

You-you've seen what he's like.

He's... he's... quiet. He's shy.

He's not a violent person!

The neighbours said that they heard arguing coming from the house.

That would have been Jade yelling at Aaron.

She was always on his back,

making him work all the time so she didn't have to.

But... Jade couldn't work, could she? Because of the car accident.

She liked not working. She liked that my brother did everything.

Look, I know him.

He would never hurt her. He loved her.

As far as the police are concerned,

it looks like Aaron did it.

Then you have to check again!

Please.

There must be a mistake.

Harrow! I didn't know you had such a keen interest in maggots.

Oh, yes, maggots, slugs, cockroaches, bedbugs...

My father didn't let me have a dog.

Well. A good thing too.

Because it seems you were right.

Based on the size of the larvae you collected,

Entomology have confirmed

that Mr Palladino died at least 19 hours before his body was found.

They were hatchlings, just as you said.

So, there is no way he could have killed Jade Freeman.

Correct.

Did Scientific find any fingerprints on that jack?

Yeah, there were several of Mr Palladino's on there

but there was another set as well.

- Whose? - Aaron Sharpe's.

Look, I know you want to see this young man acquitted...

No. What I want is to find the truth.

Jade Freeman was murdered brutally

and if Aaron Sharpe did it, then he should account for it.

But if someone else did it and gets away with it,

then that would make an awful death even worse.

Well, you also found evidence

that Tony Palladino was the only person to have touched Jade's neck

and, yet, we know he was dead, so that can't be the whole story.

Although I can't see how that would explain

Aaron Sharpe's prints on that jack.

- What are you doing? - Oh.

Uh, are you with the police?

- I'm from the Coroner's office. - Well, I haven't done anything wrong.

I'm just returning some things

that I borrowed for a barbecue that we had.

And you thought it appropriate

to break into a crime scene to put them back?

Well, I didn't want anyone to think that I'd stolen anything,

not after what had happened to poor Jade.

I thought the police might think that...

Might think that you were involved?

You told the police that you often heard yelling coming from the house.

Aaron's sister told me that the arguments were usually one way,

that it was Jade yelling at Aaron.

Is this true?

Well, I suppose it's true.

She was always going on about his work and his model boats.

Who lent you those?

- Was it Jade? - Um, Aaron.

He never seemed to have time or money

but if you needed anything, he was the first to give it to you.

He'd lend anything to anyone who asked.

It was Aaron's jack!

What?

The jack we found in Tony Palladino's garage.

It was Aaron's.

He lent it to him, which explains why his prints are all over it.

So?

So, there's a possibility he might not have killed Tony.

Bit of a stretch. It still doesn't explain how Jade died.

No, but...

It certainly doesn't change the fact that Aaron's still not denying it.

- I understand that but... - Nah, sorry, Harrow.

I know you're not convinced about this bloke

but you're really gonna have to come up with something better than that.

- A toothbrush? - Yes.

I was wondering if your team

found a toothbrush in Mr Palladino's bathroom,

or perhaps collected it as evidence

when Scientific were at the house yesterday.

OK. Let me see if it's been logged.

Sorry, Doc.

Nobody's logged any toothbrushes.

Thank you.

- Haven't you done that already? - Yes.

But this time, I'm not looking for DNA.

What are you looking for?

Lauryl sulfate, sorbitol, sodium fluoride and... mint.

Toothpaste?

Tony Palladino's toothbrush was missing from his house.

So?

Do you know what would be on a toothbrush?

Toothpaste and DNA.

So, you think the person who killed Jade Freeman

stole a toothbrush from Tony Palladino's house

and used it to transfer DNA onto her throat.

Yes.

That person planted Tony Palladino's DNA on Ms Freeman

to make us think that he was the killer

but there was one little thing they missed.

They didn't know he was already dead.

Do you think Aaron could have done this?

Well, it would have taken some planning.

Well, he built those boats.

He's clearly capable and he knew where Tony lived.

And he had motive, no alibi and knew both victims.

But you're still not convinced about him.

I'm still not convinced we've found the truth.

And Jade Freeman deserves that.

_

You missed that one.

Sorry?

The bead from your necklace.

The one you were wearing when you strangled Jade Freeman to death.

I don't know what you're talking about.

It's how you got the mark on the back of your neck.

I found the same mark on Jade's hand.

She grabbed your necklace, didn't she?

Ripped it from your neck

while you had your hands around her throat.

Why did you kill her, Naomi?

Because of the way you thought she treated your brother?

Making him work three jobs while she did nothing.

You hated that and you hated her

and when you found out that she was sleeping with Tony Palladino,

well, that was too much.

So what did you do?

You waited outside their house

until Jade got home,

seething about how she mistreated your brother,

and when she finally did get home, around 4:00 in the morning,

you confronted her.

Did you threaten to tell Aaron what you knew?

Yes.

She told me to piss off.

She said that it was none of my business.

He's my little brother.

I wasn't gonna let her just... get away with it.

- I know all about you and Tony. - What are you talking about?

- I know you've been screwing. - Hey!

She got angry...

...and then I...

I just lost it.

Oh!

And she fought back.

But all your anger flooded out.

Then it was too late.

You could have called the police,

told them what you'd done.

But, no, you weren't gonna spend the rest of your life in jail

because of her.

So, you got busy.

You went to Tony Palladino's house.

Thought he was busy in the garage, so you snuck inside,

found what you needed

and covered your tracks...

...replacing your DNA on Jade's body with his.

You did a very good job.

And you almost got away with it.

Except the man you set up for Jade's murder was already dead.

You don't understand.

She didn't love my brother.

She... she was using him.

She was taking his money,

sleeping around behind his back.

No!

Aaron knew about the affair.

I think he encouraged it.

Why would he?

I saw your brother's medical records.

Aaron was treated for testicular cancer two years ago.

He fought it

but he was left impotent by the treatment.

He didn't tell you that, did he?

I was just trying to protect him.

And instead,

you took away the one thing he truly loved.

What will happen to Aaron?

Well, we'll be dropping all charges,

thanks to you.

I still don't get it, though.

If he hadn't done anything, why didn't he tell us?

What was the point?

Jade was already dead. Me... ending up in jail...

The one thing I don't understand is the arguments.

The neighbour said that she'd heard Jade yelling at you.

She was worried about me.

She was angry that I was doing so much for her.

She wanted me to spend less time working

and more time on the boats that I loved.

But I loved her more.

She was in so much pain.

The car accident.

I just wanted to take care of her.

My sister took care of me since I was a kid.

For the first time in my life,

I had someone that I could care for in the same way.

Naomi took that away from me.

And her affair with Tony?

Jade deserved to be happy.

Here's what you asked for.

My report on Harrow.

Dr Fairley, in all of these charts,

you've rated his performance as excellent.

That's right.

You found no fault in Harrow's work?

Oh, there's plenty of fault in his process

but I don't want to be the one to decide his career on that.

If you want to get rid of Harrow, you'll have to be the one to do it.

I want no part of it.

- Dr Fairley, I am not... - No, I haven't finished.

I understand you have quotas to fill and boxes to tick.

But Daniel Harrow is one of the finest pathologists in the state,

if not the country.

But mainly the state.

And, yes, he... he is difficult to work with.

Yes, he breaks the rules.

But he always gets results,

because he cares.

Sometimes too much.

But that's what sets him apart from the rest of us.

He's also my friend

and I will not be party to any decision

that sees him removed from this building.

Too far?

No. Not at all.

You've made your position very clear.

Thank you, Dr Fairley.

Right.

Ah! Astro Warriors Science Squad.

- You know it? - Know it?!

You are looking at the president of the Science Squad Cosplay Society,

Australasian branch.

Astro Warriors, unite!

Yes.

He's weird.

What's happening?

- Did you get it? - Not yet.

- Just got here. - You OK?

Nervous?

Yes and... yes.

Don't worry. You're gonna kill it.

Call me when you're done, yeah?

Again with this shit?

First you hack into Harrow's email, now the police system?

What have you got Fern involved in?

- I'm just looking after myself. - Yeah, that I believe.

I don't care if you go to jail but if you get Fern into trouble...

...you'll want to be behind bars.

- She believes me. - She wants to believe you.

I think you're full of shit.

Come here!

Ooh. What are you gonna do?

Hit me?

Fern's gonna love that.

Catherine Schumann?

Can I see some ID, please?

- Is there a problem? - Not sure.

Ah. There we go.

Bit slow today.

Can I get you to sign that, please?

Wait, miss?

You forgot this.

I'll take that, thanks.
