Quotes
[last lines]
Insp Jack Frost: There was just so much evidence. I should have had doubts. It's my job.
Supt Mullett: When I was a constable I was called to a domestic. Husband and wife row. I asked the wife if she wanted to leave, but, uh, they'd made up. He said sorry; she seemed all right. I don't know if I saw fear in her eyes as I left or if I imagined it afterwards. She was dead the next day. Husband set the house on fire. I can still see her face. If you ever forget your mistakes, I think you're in the wrong job. I'll be here if you need a lift.

A Classic Episode That Looks Back 20 Years

A quirky man has just been paroled after twenty years. He was convicted of killing a young girl and possibly a second one (her body was never found). This is one of those cases where decisions were made by a young cop, causing him to ignore evidence. The convicted returns to the neighborhood, taking over his mother's house and garden. Of course, there is great resentment toward him. The parents of the girls, are especially upset and the neighbors that are left harass the young man. The problem for Frost is that he has an epiphany at some point when he realizes his bullheadedness and intractability may have caused the conviction of an innocent man. The strength of this episode is the way things unfold and how forensics, now advanced, are used to get to the truth.
