City Homicide

The First Stone (3x4)

Ausstrahlung: Aug 24, 2009

A missing toddler. A despondent taskforce. A case handed over to Homicide when all hope is lost. This is no longer a lost babe they're searching for. This is now a murder investigation. A set of circumstances that seems to insist that we draw certain conclusions. We mustn't do that. We have to remain open to all possibilities. This is not Liverpool, in 1993. The details are uncanny. Two young boys are seen leading a toddler away. They want to play rough, see what happens, until it's all too late. A police force and the general public left with a terrible sense of déjà vu. The challenge for the team is sorting through the white lies, the pre-conceptions and a lack of reliable witnesses. No matter what, they can't and won't jump to conclusions. Even if this does feel like history repeating.
