Episode #4.2 - S4-E2
Revealing mistake: Camille puts the name of the victim and "Watergate" as search terms, and manages to find the relevant news item from the past. The URL of the website though is just the one of the (fictitious) homepage (watergatenews.org), and not of a specific article. Moreover, the article is half relevant info, and half generic guide about surfing with a brisk cut from one to the other. (00:21:50)
Episode #1.5 - S1-E5

DI Humphrey Goodman: Yes. The devil is in the detail. (00:24:50)
