00:00:01That's your latest travel update from us here at the station.
00:00:04It's the 1st of December, so Christmas has officially started.
00:00:07And this is a classic.
00:00:10Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell Rock
00:00:14Jingle Bell Swing and Jingle Bells Ring
00:00:18Snow and has glowing, a potion of fire
00:00:22Oh! Morning, Alan. Christmas begins.
00:00:26Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell Rock
00:00:30Jingle Bell time and Jingle Bell time
00:00:34Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
00:00:38In the frosty air
00:00:42Well, I'll get you with a nice cup of tea after that.
00:00:46I've never seen the town centre so busy.
00:00:52Oh, I'm sorry, Helen. I didn't know there was a team meeting.
00:00:55Oh, you're fine, Marjorie. I was just making a small announcement.
00:00:58You'll never believe it.
00:00:59She's only taking us away for the office Christmas party.
00:01:02It's been a tough old year.
00:01:04And I just want to say thank you to everyone for helping me get through it.
00:01:08Guess what? We're only going to the ruddy Caribbean.
00:01:11Oh, my goodness gracious me!
00:01:13Oh, although it does mean missing the away game of Colchester.
00:01:17What's that matter?
00:01:18It's the Caribbean!
00:01:20And you've properly budgeted for it, Mum?
00:01:23Yes, Neil. It's all accounted for.
00:01:25Quite sure?
00:01:27You know, I've always wanted to visit that part of the world.
00:01:32Oh, um...
00:01:35Not you, Marjorie Love. It's senior staff only.
00:01:38I am so sorry. I should have said.
00:01:40Oh!
00:01:41Of course.
00:01:42Um...
00:01:43I'm sorry, Helen.
00:01:44Silly old me.
00:01:45Duh!
00:01:50Oh, I...
00:01:51Probably should get that.
00:01:53We are so...
00:01:54We are so going bikini shopping after work tonight.
00:01:58You might treat yourself to some speed, or was...?
00:02:01Duckdale's branded merchandise. Marjorie speaking.
00:02:09Duckdale's branded merchandise. Marjorie speaking.
00:02:12Yes, I'll just put you through to our warehouse.
00:02:14Oh!
00:02:15Black Christmas song.
00:02:16Love it!
00:02:17Look at them!
00:02:18I have a good hope for them, difference!
00:02:20All the ancient,anta-有點 common.
00:02:241, 2, 1, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, then.
00:02:262, 1,5, 5, 6, 7, then...
00:02:302, 1,6, 7, then.
00:02:33I will...
00:02:34This is really amazing.
00:02:35Yes!
00:02:36Wow!
00:02:371,2,3,aves!
00:02:39This is the Overall neuen Foreign Forum,
00:02:41It's my treasure, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
00:02:44Keep us all the wind and ground, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
00:02:49Oh, my God, my God, my God, my God
00:02:52We've got some such things right now, I'm so crazy, my God
00:03:11Happy Christmas
00:03:26Wizard
00:03:41Hi, Marjorie
00:03:42I just want to let you know that there's a Commissioner Patterson arriving
00:03:46It's a serious situation over here
00:03:51Give him access to anything he needs
00:03:54I've told the police here that we're going to cooperate fully
00:03:57Will do, Helen
00:03:57Oh, I hear him now, um, we'll speak later
00:04:01Okay
00:04:01Ah, you must be the policeman from the Caribbean
00:04:06Commissioner Patterson, is it?
00:04:09Selwyn Patterson
00:04:10So, um, what has actually happened out there?
00:04:15The police were called to your colleague's Holiday Villa
00:04:18Where, I'm sorry to see, a man was formed, shot dead, murdered
00:04:40The police were called to your colleague's Holiday Villa
00:04:45Morning, Miss Baudet
00:04:53Morning, Miss Baudet
00:04:57Morning, Seb
00:05:11It's a final rehearsal for the Nativity this evening
00:05:14I wish you all the best
00:05:15And good luck to you, little king people
00:05:18Yes, aye, yes
00:05:20Yes
00:05:20Ali, let's go
00:05:22Good morning, Sarge
00:05:32Morning, Seb
00:05:34Got a card from Darlene
00:05:35Oh
00:05:36Looks like she won't make it back for Christmas
00:05:38Her auntie's still sick, so she's staying on Montserrat
00:05:42Nothing in the post for the inspector
00:05:44You know, from Antica
00:05:46His brother, you mean?
00:05:49It's been three months
00:05:51I guess
00:05:51I guess it's like a lot, you know?
00:05:54I mean, getting a letter
00:05:55From a breadie you never knew you had
00:05:56Might take some time
00:05:59I just feel sorry for him
00:06:01He keeps saying he's fine about it
00:06:03But
00:06:03I don't think he is
00:06:06Where is D.I. Wilson?
00:06:09Rehearsing
00:06:09Oh, yes
00:06:11Oh, I am so jealous
00:06:12He must be hyped up to wear that costume, huh?
00:06:16I bet he is
00:06:18I'm really not happy about this
00:06:20Why not, Mervyn?
00:06:22Because I look like a ninny
00:06:23No, you don't
00:06:25You look very
00:06:26Authentic
00:06:29I just don't think
00:06:31The boots are helping
00:06:32Look, with all due respect, Miss Baudet
00:06:37I just think it'd be better off finding
00:06:39Somebody else
00:06:40For this
00:06:41You know, somebody less
00:06:42Me
00:06:43Mervyn
00:06:44It has always been the commissioner
00:06:46Carries out this task for me
00:06:49With him gone
00:06:49Inspector
00:06:50Great
00:06:52Yes, sir
00:06:53You look cool, man
00:06:55Not another word
00:06:56Could we have a chat, sir?
00:07:05We have a murder to attend
00:07:07For real?
00:07:09Well, that's that, then
00:07:12I've got word to do
00:07:14Conversation over
00:07:15Conversation paused
00:07:16Sorry, Catherine
00:07:17Come on, let's go
00:07:18Um, Inspector
00:07:21You think maybe you should change first?
00:07:25Victim's name is Darion St. Jules
00:07:54He's a local fisherman
00:07:56He's a local fisherman
00:07:56Lives half a mile up the coast
00:07:58Right
00:07:58The guests staying here are from the UK
00:08:01They all say they haven't a clue who he is
00:08:04Or what he was doing here
00:08:06But clearly
00:08:06Someone must have shot him
00:08:08And left him there
00:08:09Right
00:08:10No sign of the gun
00:08:13But paramedics are saying
00:08:14With the bullets still lodged
00:08:15In the victim's shoulder
00:08:16Cause of death
00:08:18Was possibly from internal bleeding
00:08:20Right
00:08:22And what about you, Inspector?
00:08:24Anything of interest?
00:08:27Well, he certainly liked his aftershave
00:08:28Have a sniff
00:08:30I guess that's pretty strong
00:08:37I don't know if it's because of his work
00:08:39You know, slapped on the old cologne
00:08:41To cover the smell of fish
00:08:42I know a big man in Tootin
00:08:44Did the same thing
00:08:45And that's what bothers you the most
00:08:46The fact that the victim
00:08:48Used a bit too much aftershave
00:08:50Actually
00:08:52What's bothering me the most
00:08:54Is what's written on the palm
00:08:56Of his left hand
00:08:57Blitzen
00:08:59Like the reindeer
00:09:00Is there anyone I can think of?
00:09:04Dasher
00:09:04Dancer
00:09:05Prancer
00:09:06Vixen
00:09:06Comet
00:09:07Cupid
00:09:07Donner
00:09:08Blitzen
00:09:09And Rudolf
00:09:10Thank you, Officer Rose
00:09:12Dink seems fresh
00:09:17Which means he wrote it
00:09:18In the last 12 hours or so
00:09:20And then not long after
00:09:22He was shot
00:09:22When it is Christmas, sir
00:09:25Could just be a coincidence
00:09:27We have no idea who this guy is
00:09:34Or what he's doing in our villa
00:09:35So how can we know why he wrote
00:09:37The name of one of Santa's reindeer
00:09:38On his hand?
00:09:39I don't know
00:09:40I'm just asking the question
00:09:41Not a problem, is it?
00:09:44No
00:09:44No, of course not
00:09:46Thank you
00:09:46Let's start with you telling me
00:09:48What you're doing here on St Marie
00:09:50Well, we flew here
00:09:51For our office Christmas party
00:09:52It wasn't cheap
00:09:53We were having the time of our lives
00:09:56Life's a beat
00:10:02Life's a beat
00:10:03Life's a beat
00:10:04No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
00:10:05No!
00:10:08Oh, my God
00:10:08Everyone get in
00:10:09Maybe talk us through the events of last night
00:10:18Yeah, what happened exactly
00:10:20We said we'd take it easy for our last night
00:10:22Then we got back here
00:10:34And carried on drinking
00:10:36Yeah, looks like quite a party you had
00:10:37Yeah, damn right it was
00:10:39Sorry, that's not appropriate
00:10:43The rum out here
00:10:45It's stronger than we used to
00:10:48Oh!
00:10:50What happened to them?
00:10:51One more straight away
00:10:52And no one has left
00:10:53Come on, it's our last night
00:10:55And what time did the party end?
00:10:59I haven't got a clue, me
00:11:00To be honest
00:11:01Yeah, it's all a little bit hazy
00:11:03I really don't remember very much
00:11:05You lot are lightweights, man
00:11:06I remember everything
00:11:09Helen, you and me put Neil to bed about midnight
00:11:14I'm sure I wasn't that bad
00:11:15Oh, you so were
00:11:17Oh, he's always had a low tolerance
00:11:20Mum
00:11:21Sorry, love
00:11:21Can we just...
00:11:25Yeah, Helen, you went to bed as well
00:11:27Me and you kept on it till about half three
00:11:32Gab, you were so cute
00:11:35You were dead to the world by then
00:11:37So, uh...
00:11:39I left you asleep in the hammock
00:11:40And then what?
00:11:45Oh, and then, um...
00:11:47The taxi for the airport woke me up
00:11:48Everyone!
00:11:51Wake up!
00:11:53Wake up!
00:11:55That's when I saw him
00:11:57I thought he was asleep at first
00:11:59But when I got closer, I saw the blood
00:12:01Someone call an ambulance!
00:12:03Now!
00:12:06You were in the hammock when
00:12:08Whatever happened, happened
00:12:09You didn't hear the gunshot?
00:12:11Well, yeah, yeah, you'd have thought
00:12:12But, well, it's like Helen said
00:12:14You know, the room out here, it's, uh...
00:12:15Stronger than you used to
00:12:16Inspector!
00:12:20That's something you should see
00:12:21This is the only security camera footage from the villa
00:12:27Footage is from this morning
00:12:28Outside the front door
00:12:30The victim arrives at 5.32am
00:12:33Heads inside
00:12:34The door was unlocked
00:12:35So he let himself in
00:12:36After that, nobody is seen leaving or arriving
00:12:39So the only way in or out is from the front
00:12:42And the drop at the back is too steep for access
00:12:45So, it's got to be one of these four
00:12:48Who shot Darren in St. Jules?
00:12:50Which means the gun that they used must still be here
00:12:52But they're all saying they've never met him before
00:12:55So why would one of them kill a total stranger?
00:12:59Hello, can I help you?
00:13:14Have you come to check in?
00:13:15The name's Helen Dugdale
00:13:17Of course, one moment, please
00:13:19Can't believe they're not letting us fly home
00:13:22Police overreach is what it is
00:13:25So much for doing something different
00:13:28Should have just gone to the Red Lion like last year
00:13:32None of this would have happened
00:13:33Girl, do you think there's something Helen's not telling us?
00:13:40She's been on edge ever since the police arrived
00:13:42So why did Darren go to that villa at 5.30 in the morning?
00:13:54Hmm, let's see what we find at his house
00:13:56How are you getting on, sir?
00:14:04Well, I haven't found anything that connects our victim to the suspects
00:14:07But I have found this
00:14:09The victim's aftershave
00:14:11Really? This again?
00:14:12Different to the one he was wearing at the crime scene
00:14:14Here, have a sniff
00:14:16I haven't found any others here
00:14:21And there certainly wasn't one on his person
00:14:23So why did he smell different to the brand of aftershave that he owned?
00:14:26So, I searched the suspects, the villa and surrounding areas
00:14:46And there was no gun
00:14:48No, it has to be there
00:14:50No one left the villa after the victim was shot
00:14:52So the weapon has to be there somewhere
00:14:54Yeah, no, I totally get the logic, Inspector
00:14:56But, you tain't there?
00:14:58For definite, there's no gun at the villa
00:15:00But that doesn't make any sense
00:15:01So, sorry, excuse me
00:15:03Hello?
00:15:04Yes
00:15:05Well, this is a strange one
00:15:07We've got four people suspected of shooting a man they don't know
00:15:09With a gun they don't have
00:15:11Let's start working through the victim's laptop
00:15:13See what's on there
00:15:14We need to find that gun
00:15:15What?
00:15:19Actually, sir, it's the nativity service if you'd forgotten
00:15:23Are you serious?
00:15:24And
00:15:24We promised Catherine we'd make sure you get there
00:15:27Look, we've got a murder case to solve
00:15:30In case you hadn't noticed
00:15:31And I haven't got time for play acting with a bunch of kids at some school nativity
00:15:36Then you better find the time, Inspector
00:15:37Why is she?
00:15:42Good evening to you, Inspector
00:15:45Officer Curtis
00:15:46Was a pleasant surprise
00:15:48My niece is performing in the nativity tonight
00:15:51And word has got back to me
00:15:54That they might not have a narrator
00:15:55Because the man who is supposed to be doing it
00:15:58Is being a grumpy goose about the whole thing
00:16:01A grumpy...
00:16:02Now, listen...
00:16:03No, you listen to me
00:16:04You are doing it
00:16:06End of
00:16:07So get your backside down to that church
00:16:09And man up
00:16:10You know, I never did like this sort of thing
00:16:28The nativity
00:16:30Carol services
00:16:32Right
00:16:32Is there anything about Christmas you do like, sir?
00:16:36No, not really
00:16:37Oh, hang on
00:16:38Yeah
00:16:38The Great Escape
00:16:40The what?
00:16:41The Great Escape
00:16:42The movie
00:16:44It was on telly every Christmas
00:16:45You know, with the motorcycle stunt
00:16:48And the cooler
00:16:49The dirt down the trousers
00:16:51I give up
00:16:54Me too
00:16:55Mervyn, we're waiting
00:16:56Ready when you are
00:16:58Right
00:17:00Right
00:17:03Here we go then
00:17:06I guess
00:17:08I guess
00:17:08You okay?
00:17:29Okay?
00:17:29Okay then
00:17:33A long time ago
00:17:39In the town of Nazareth
00:17:40There lived a young woman
00:17:42Named Mary
00:17:43She was engaged to a carpenter
00:17:45Named Joseph
00:17:47I understand he didn't want to wear a costume
00:17:50But did he really have to do it in the heart?
00:17:53And then one day
00:17:55And then one day
00:17:55An angel
00:17:57Called Gabriel
00:17:58Came to Mary
00:18:01And said to her
00:18:02Sorry, it was
00:18:13It was mine
00:18:14I knew it was going to be his
00:18:17Sir
00:18:22Sir
00:18:24It's someone calling from Antica
00:18:27It could be
00:18:30Your brother
00:18:30Listen, sorry everyone
00:18:35I need to take this
00:18:36Yeah
00:18:36Well, I think one of us
00:18:44Shoot her
00:18:45Don't worry, Miss Baudet
00:18:46Officer Sebastian rose to the rescue
00:18:49Yes
00:18:51Yes, my little king people
00:18:52Wow, God
00:18:53So
00:18:57A long, long time ago
00:19:00In the town of Nazareth
00:19:02There lived a young woman
00:19:03Very nice woman
00:19:04Her name was Mary
00:19:05She was engaged to a carpenter
00:19:07Named Joseph
00:19:08Melvin Wilson speaking
00:19:18Mr. Wilson
00:19:19It's Tyrese
00:19:20At Cariba Phone Network
00:19:22I just noticed
00:19:23Your contract's coming up
00:19:24In the new year
00:19:24And I thought we could have a chat
00:19:25About upgrading your phone
00:19:27Mr. Wilson
00:19:32Are you still there?
00:19:33Yeah, I'm here
00:19:33Um
00:19:34No
00:19:35No upgrade
00:19:36Thanks
00:19:36Are you sure about that
00:19:38Because
00:19:39The first Noel
00:19:57The angels didn't say
00:20:02Was to certain
00:20:05That poor shepherds
00:20:08It builds as they lay
00:20:12It builds as they lay
00:20:17Deep day
00:20:20Thanks
00:20:26Hey sir
00:20:48You didn't come back
00:20:50Just wanted to check
00:20:52How you're doing
00:20:53Yeah, it wasn't Solomon
00:20:55On the phone
00:20:56Anyway
00:20:57I've been thinking
00:20:58We really don't know
00:21:00Anything about these people
00:21:01You know
00:21:04Their lives in the UK
00:21:05I was thinking
00:21:07We could use someone
00:21:08To do a bit of digging
00:21:09Into our suspects
00:21:10Back in their hometown
00:21:10Right
00:21:11You want me to get in touch
00:21:12At the Swindon Police
00:21:13No, no, no
00:21:14I've already done that
00:21:14They're flat out
00:21:15Till New Year
00:21:16But then I remembered
00:21:17We do have someone
00:21:18In the UK
00:21:18Who maybe could give us a hand
00:21:20You must be the policeman
00:21:31From the Caribbean
00:21:31Commissioner Patterson
00:21:33Is it?
00:21:34Selwyn Patterson
00:21:35I'm no longer a commissioner
00:21:37I'm retired now
00:21:39Right
00:21:40Okay
00:21:40So now you're just
00:21:42Helping out
00:21:43Somewhat reluctantly
00:21:45If I'm honest with you
00:21:46So, um
00:21:48What has actually happened out there?
00:21:51The police
00:21:52Were called to your colleague's
00:21:53Holiday Villa
00:21:54Where
00:21:55I'm sorry to see
00:21:56A man was found
00:21:57Shot dead
00:21:58Murdered
00:21:58I'm keen to get on with things
00:22:02And get out of here
00:22:03As quickly as I can
00:22:04Rightio
00:22:05Well, I'll give you the guided tour
00:22:07Welcome to Dugdale's
00:22:10Branded Merchandise
00:22:11So
00:22:13That desk over there
00:22:15Is Helen
00:22:16She's the managing director
00:22:18This desk belongs to
00:22:20Our graphic designer
00:22:21Gavin
00:22:22Accounts manager
00:22:23Neil
00:22:24And Karen
00:22:25Head of sales
00:22:26And this one?
00:22:28Oh, oh
00:22:28She's not here anymore
00:22:29She left a couple of months ago
00:22:31Who?
00:22:33Ashley
00:22:34Ashley Sims
00:22:35Her name was
00:22:36It was all somewhat clandestine
00:22:39If you ask me
00:22:39Mr Patterson
00:22:40She did what they call
00:22:45A midnight flit
00:22:46Never came back
00:22:48Are you sure you don't want
00:22:51A cup of tea?
00:22:52I'm gonna make myself one
00:22:53This drawer
00:22:54Is locked
00:22:55Oh, yes
00:22:57It's been like that
00:22:58Since Ashley left
00:22:58She has the only key
00:23:00I've been meaning to sort it
00:23:02Commissioner
00:23:10You do know what time it is over here, right?
00:23:25Half past three in the morning
00:23:27But as I've abandoned
00:23:29Good friend's wedding
00:23:30To travel to Swindon
00:23:31And help you out
00:23:32Okay, fair dues
00:23:34How can I help?
00:23:34The bullet you recovered
00:23:35From your victim
00:23:36Have you had the ballistics report back on it yet?
00:23:40Yeah, it was a .45 caliber
00:23:41Most likely fired from a pistol
00:23:43And did you find the weapon?
00:23:45No
00:23:45Why?
00:23:47Because I'm currently looking
00:23:49At a .45 caliber pistol
00:23:52In a desk drawer
00:23:54In Swindon
00:23:56Well, it can't be the same one
00:23:58Can it?
00:24:11Morning, sir
00:24:19Morning, Inspector
00:24:20This can't be right
00:24:22It just can't be
00:24:23What's going on?
00:24:25Commissioner found a gun
00:24:26Locked in the desk drawer
00:24:27Of an ex-employee called Ashley Sims
00:24:29In the Dugdale's offices
00:24:30Back in the UK
00:24:31What?
00:24:32Local forensic lab
00:24:33Fast-tracked it
00:24:34And they say
00:24:34That is the gun
00:24:35That fired the bullet
00:24:36That killed Darren St. Jules
00:24:38Look
00:24:39Security footage
00:24:41Shows that no one
00:24:42Touched that drawer
00:24:43Since the shooting
00:24:43Wait, so how was that gun
00:24:45Used to shoot Darren St. Jules
00:24:46On this island
00:24:47If the same gun
00:24:48Was locked in a drawer
00:24:49Five thousand miles away
00:24:50I know, right?
00:24:52It makes no sense
00:24:53We need to speak
00:24:57To Helen Dugdale
00:24:57Helen?
00:25:09If you're in there
00:25:11Can you open the door, please?
00:25:12We need to speak with you
00:25:13About Ashley Sims
00:25:15There's something you need to see
00:25:21I guess
00:25:24I want to say sorry
00:25:27I know it's not enough
00:25:30And
00:25:31It won't change how you feel about me
00:25:34But
00:25:34I do mean it
00:25:37I don't know why I keep doing this
00:25:41Blow everything up
00:25:45But
00:25:48But
00:25:48This is why I've come here
00:25:51To get away
00:25:54Try and understand
00:25:59Why I
00:26:01Hurt people
00:26:03The way that I do
00:26:05She stole from me
00:26:09From the company
00:26:10How much
00:26:11Five hundred thousand pounds
00:26:13Ouch
00:26:14My husband
00:26:16Keith
00:26:16Dugdale's was his company
00:26:18Until he
00:26:19Passed away at the start of the year
00:26:21From a heart attack
00:26:22I'm sorry to hear that
00:26:23That's when I took
00:26:26Over the reins
00:26:27I really wanted to make it work
00:26:29And it was around that time
00:26:30That we had a position to fill
00:26:32When you gave the job to
00:26:33Miss Sims
00:26:34I knew she had a past
00:26:36That she'd been to prison
00:26:37But
00:26:37Keith always believed in
00:26:39Giving people a second chance
00:26:40And I wanted to honour that
00:26:41What Miss Sims let you down
00:26:43Not even a year's past
00:26:45And I've already lost
00:26:46Half a million pounds
00:26:47Did you report Ashley
00:26:49To the police
00:26:49I was too embarrassed
00:26:51So I
00:26:53I hired someone
00:26:54To find out
00:26:55Where she sent the email from
00:26:56And that video she recorded
00:26:58That was sent from
00:26:59This island
00:27:00Yes
00:27:00Okay
00:27:03So what does any of this
00:27:05Have to do with
00:27:05Darian St. George
00:27:06The man I hired
00:27:07Discovered that Darian
00:27:08Had rented a holiday let
00:27:09To Ashley
00:27:10That's why I came here
00:27:11To try and get my money back
00:27:13I made sure our villa
00:27:14Wasn't far from Darian's house
00:27:15So it would be easy
00:27:16To go and visit him
00:27:17So you were lying
00:27:18When you told us
00:27:19You didn't know Darian
00:27:19Did you meet with him
00:27:21Yes
00:27:22A few days ago
00:27:24He confirmed that
00:27:26Ashley had rented
00:27:26This little place
00:27:27He has down on the beach
00:27:28That so
00:27:29So she was definitely here
00:27:31She'd arrived a few months ago
00:27:34At the start of October
00:27:35He still had all the paperwork
00:27:38But he said that she'd
00:27:39Moved on a few days ago
00:27:41And he didn't know where
00:27:41So what was Darian doing
00:27:44Turning up at your villa
00:27:45In the early hours yesterday?
00:27:46I don't know
00:27:48I really don't
00:27:50How much do the others
00:27:51Know about this?
00:27:52Nothing
00:27:52They don't know anything
00:27:53They think they're on a works due
00:27:54Not even your son?
00:27:56No
00:27:56Not even Neil
00:27:57So then the only person
00:27:59Who knew Darian
00:28:00And therefore wanted him killed
00:28:01Was you?
00:28:02No
00:28:02I swear I didn't
00:28:04I can see how this looks
00:28:07But I didn't shoot him
00:28:09I don't
00:28:11I need to take this
00:28:14Commissioner
00:28:19You got something?
00:28:20Inspector
00:28:21I've searched Ashley Sims' flat
00:28:23And emailed you over some photographs
00:28:25I'm afraid there is little of use
00:28:27To your investigation
00:28:28I think she cleared out her flat
00:28:30Before she flew to the Caribbean
00:28:32Okay
00:28:32Thanks anyway, sir
00:28:34Now, if that is everything
00:28:36I'm going to catch my train
00:28:38And enjoy the rest of my Christmas
00:28:40Yeah, you have a good one, sir
00:28:42And you, Inspector
00:28:43And you
00:28:44Thank you for your help, Miss Gortz
00:28:54I didn't do anything, really
00:28:57And you're nothing if not efficient
00:28:59So
00:29:01What are your plans for Christmas?
00:29:05I'm spending it with my daughter
00:29:06And her partner
00:29:07They've rented a cottage
00:29:09Up in the, um
00:29:10Yorkshire Dales
00:29:12Oh, it's lovely up there
00:29:13So I'm told
00:29:14I'd better
00:29:15I'm flying solo this Christmas
00:29:17I mean
00:29:18That's how it's been
00:29:20Since Mum passed
00:29:21Just me, myself and I
00:29:22Sorry
00:29:23I really
00:29:24Oh, no
00:29:25No, no
00:29:25I rather enjoy it, actually
00:29:27You know, there's no family arguments
00:29:29I can eat what I like
00:29:30Watch what I want on the telly
00:29:32Christmas alone is underrated, I say
00:29:35Indeed
00:29:36No, I really don't want to miss my train
00:29:40Goodbye, Mr. Patterson
00:29:46Goodbye
00:29:47And Merry Christmas
00:29:49And a very Merry Christmas to you
00:29:52Four passengers on platform
00:29:58One, awaiting beam
00:29:59Three, fifteen, two
00:30:01Please be aware that you two
00:30:04Frost on the line
00:30:05This train is now delayed
00:30:07Please wait for further announcements
00:30:09So, immigration confirmed Ashley Sims arrived on the island two months ago
00:30:32But they have no record of her ever leaving
00:30:34So, in theory, she's still here
00:30:37Okay, Officer Rose
00:30:42I want you to check the harbours
00:30:43See if anyone matching Ashley's description was taken to one of the other islands in the last few days
00:30:47Ashley Harbour, last few days, got you
00:30:49Check the hotels, holiday rentals, guest houses on the island
00:30:52Hotels, rentals, guest houses, got you
00:30:54You need to do whatever it takes to find it, you understand?
00:30:57Cool
00:30:58Totally getting you right now, Inspector
00:31:00I guess that means we're working Christmas Day then
00:31:02Obviously
00:31:03It's a murder investigation
00:31:04And we need to find out who did it
00:31:06Right
00:31:07Only
00:31:08That's a lot of work for Seb to do by himself over Christmas
00:31:11Well, my mother has a whole church thing going on
00:31:14And everybody else is busy, so
00:31:16It's cool
00:31:17There you go
00:31:18Sorted
00:31:19Thanks, Seb
00:31:22No worries
00:31:23See you in a bit
00:31:24I'll let my parents know I won't be flying home this evening
00:31:30Appreciate it
00:31:31Ashley Sims aside
00:31:33We still don't have a scooby
00:31:34How the killer made the gun they shot Darian with
00:31:37Disappear from that villa
00:31:38Then reappear in a locked desk drawer back in the UK
00:31:41And that, Glitzen
00:31:45What's that about?
00:31:47Unless it has nothing to do with Darian's murder, sir
00:31:50And it is just a cold
00:31:52You don't believe in coincidences
00:31:55I mean, in what circumstance
00:31:56Does someone write the name of one of Santa's reindeer
00:31:59On the palm of their hand?
00:32:04Are you doing all right, sir?
00:32:07After last night
00:32:08Look, if Solomon doesn't want to get in touch
00:32:10I'm cool with that
00:32:10Well...
00:32:12DS Thomas
00:32:13I'd rather we didn't talk about it anymore
00:32:16All right?
00:32:20I'm at Swindon East
00:32:33And?
00:32:34Your tannoy keeps announcing
00:32:36There is a rail replacement service to Leeds
00:32:40But it hasn't turned up
00:32:42Yeah, it got cancelled
00:32:44I'm sorry
00:32:46The service replacing the service that got cancelled
00:32:50Also got cancelled?
00:32:52Yeah, that's about the sound of it
00:32:54Uh, double trains until Foxy Day
00:32:56So
00:32:56What do you suggest I do?
00:33:00D'oh, mate
00:33:01Have a merry one, yeah
00:33:02See ya
00:33:04And a merry Christmas to you, too
00:33:08I'm sorry, mate
00:33:19But it's Christmas Eve
00:33:20And none of my drivers are going to want to go outside of Swindon
00:33:22You tried to hire a car company?
00:33:25Yes
00:33:26But nothing is available in the area
00:33:28Until the 27th
00:33:30You have no rooms available at all
00:33:38We're fully booked
00:33:40Everywhere will be this time of year
00:33:42Maybe you could try the Salvation Army?
00:33:52This is Andrina
00:33:53Leave me a message when you hear the beep
00:33:55It's me
00:33:58I'm still in Swindon
00:34:00There's no transport
00:34:01No hotels
00:34:03And there's no one here who seems able to help me
00:34:06And I don't know what to do
00:34:10Mr. Patterson
00:34:17I think you better come with me
00:34:21How did you know
00:34:27I would still be here
00:34:29Had the local radio on
00:34:30Said all trains cancelled
00:34:32And we've got to look after each other at Christmas, haven't we?
00:34:39Thank you, Miss Dawes
00:34:41It must be freezing
00:34:42Yes
00:34:43After you
00:34:44Thank you
00:34:45Good morning to you all
00:35:01It's six o'clock on this beautiful Christmas Day morning here on San Marie
00:35:05And there's a surprise guest with me here in the studio
00:35:08I've got a young officer, Sebastian Rose, from the San Marie Police talking with me right now
00:35:13Yes, it is me, Officer Sebastian Rose, from the Honoury Police Station
00:35:18Merry Christmas everybody
00:35:20He and his colleagues want your help looking for a young woman called Ashley Simms, am I right?
00:35:25That is it, you are totally right Alphonse
00:35:28If anybody has heard anything, or seen anything
00:35:30Well, what I would say, Jacinta, is even if it was just a glimpse, one of your viewers had this woman, they should still get in touch
00:35:40Oh, Seb
00:35:41Oh, and also, uh, the people can check out the video I made on our social media page
00:35:47At SMHolice
00:35:49Ashley Simms, have you seen her?
00:35:51If you see her call, it's number
00:35:53Ashley Simms, have you seen her?
00:35:56If you see her call, it's number
00:35:58Ashley Simms, have you seen her?
00:36:00If you see her call
00:36:02Commissioner, morning
00:36:17This is a surprise
00:36:19Inspector, have you seen that video Officer Rose has put on social media?
00:36:25It's deeply inappropriate
00:36:26Would you like another sherry, Selman?
00:36:29Uh, no
00:36:32Thank you
00:36:34Wow, is that, um, is that the receptionist?
00:36:39Marjorie Donth, I'm spending Christmas Day with her
00:36:43Well, I'm glad you two hit it off
00:36:44Good for you, sir
00:36:45It's not like that, Inspector
00:36:47I got stock in Swindon
00:36:49There were no trains to Leeds
00:36:51Okay
00:36:51Look, just take that video down
00:36:54No disrespect, sir, but, um, it's not really your problem anymore, is it?
00:36:58Just sort it
00:36:59Inspector
00:37:00Inspector
00:37:01Yeah, I've got his bank statement in front of me
00:37:11That's great, could you email it over?
00:37:14I'll do that right away
00:37:15Cheers
00:37:15Literally every tree
00:37:27If you've seen her call this number
00:37:30Ask Chris since have you seen us
00:37:33If you've seen her call this number
00:37:35All right, I'm coming!
00:37:44I've got a lead.
00:37:46A possible suspect for Darian St. Julesy's murder.
00:37:48I need to go and talk with him now.
00:37:50Merry Christmas, sir.
00:37:54Oh, um...
00:37:56Merry Christmas.
00:37:57I'll be right with you.
00:38:11Our financial checks show that two days ago
00:38:13you wired £100,000 from this island
00:38:16to your bank account back in England.
00:38:19No, he didn't.
00:38:25What?
00:38:26You want to tell us where you got that money from?
00:38:30What did you do, Liam?
00:38:32Yes, Neil. What did you do?
00:38:34I followed you.
00:38:36Why?
00:38:37You were acting so weird
00:38:39a few days ago when you went off by yourself.
00:38:42I knew that it had to be about the money that Ashley had taken.
00:38:45I'm sorry.
00:38:46I couldn't understand why you didn't tell me.
00:38:48And I know you were just trying to protect me, Mum.
00:38:50I was worried about you.
00:38:51I was just trying to help.
00:38:53So I waited until the guy, Darian, had left.
00:39:00Door was unlocked, so I let myself in.
00:39:02There wasn't anything I could find
00:39:04until I found an old biscuit tin.
00:39:07It was full of money.
00:39:08And what did you think
00:39:09when he opened it and saw £100,000 in cash inside?
00:39:14Well, I still think
00:39:14that it was money that belonged to the company.
00:39:17Why else would this local fisherman
00:39:19have that much money in sterling in his house?
00:39:22And that's why you took it?
00:39:23Because it was money that Ashley had stolen from us.
00:39:25From Mum.
00:39:26And I don't want to see her lose everything.
00:39:33She'd already lost my dad.
00:39:35Sweet.
00:39:40All right.
00:39:41OK.
00:39:43So, fast forward to the morning you're due
00:39:46to leave the island, yeah?
00:39:48And our victim turns up at 5.30.
00:39:51We've been trying to work out
00:39:52why he went there that morning.
00:39:54But what if he realised that you stole from him
00:39:57and came to confront you about it?
00:39:59No.
00:40:01On my life, I didn't even see him that morning.
00:40:04This aftershave, it's yours, right?
00:40:06Ravage Mystique.
00:40:07Yeah?
00:40:08Why?
00:40:09This is the exact same aftershave Darian was wearing.
00:40:12The morning of the murder.
00:40:14Right?
00:40:17You're not suggesting that this is evidence I shot him.
00:40:19Why would I kill someone
00:40:20and then spray him with my own aftershave?
00:40:22Achoo!
00:40:27Darian definitely smelt of this when we found him.
00:40:30But why?
00:40:33What if...
00:40:34there was another smell the killer was trying to hide?
00:40:38You know, a bit like a bin man.
00:40:40Yeah, but...
00:40:42What?
00:40:44Neil's right.
00:40:45It's not enough.
00:40:47Some Christmas this is.
00:40:48Oh, come here.
00:40:51Give your mum a hug.
00:40:53Oh, hi, I'm sorry.
00:40:58Oh, no.
00:41:00Not now, Marjorie.
00:41:02Hi, this is Helen Dugdale's phone.
00:41:04Please leave a message after the tone.
00:41:06I'll call you back.
00:41:06Hello, Helen, it's Marjorie.
00:41:09I'm booming to wish you a Merry Christmas.
00:41:12We're about to have our lunch,
00:41:13and I just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you.
00:41:17Hope everything sorts itself out soon.
00:41:27Dinner is served.
00:41:29This looks wonderful.
00:41:41Here's to a Merry Christmas.
00:41:44Merry Christmas.
00:41:50Right then.
00:41:52Tuck in.
00:41:53I would like to offer you an apology, Miss Dodds.
00:42:00Oh, Marjorie, please.
00:42:02There's really no need for an apology.
00:42:04Oh, there is.
00:42:06You've been nothing but gracious and welcoming
00:42:09for the last couple of days,
00:42:11while I...
00:42:12I've been nothing but, um...
00:42:15rowdy.
00:42:17No, no, I wouldn't go that far.
00:42:19Though...
00:42:21I did sense you weren't very happy.
00:42:26Is it to do with your old job?
00:42:28What makes you ask that?
00:42:30I don't know.
00:42:31It's just...
00:42:32When we first met,
00:42:34the way you said you were retired,
00:42:36it was like you weren't entirely comfortable with it.
00:42:39My superiors back on St. Marie,
00:42:43they tried to get rid of me
00:42:45after 50 years of doing a job I loved.
00:42:49In the end,
00:42:53I...
00:42:53I just walked away.
00:42:56Oh, I know what it's like.
00:42:58I'm just silly old Marjorie on reception.
00:43:02Don't even get invited to the Christmas party
00:43:04they're having out there.
00:43:06I'm sorry.
00:43:08And I've always wanted to go to the Caribbean.
00:43:17Look at us.
00:43:18moving like this on Christmas Day.
00:43:22When you cook this feast for us,
00:43:25we should be enjoying ourselves.
00:43:28Here.
00:43:29Will you do me the pleasure?
00:43:31Oh, well, if you insist.
00:43:35I won!
00:43:37I won!
00:43:38Oh, where's it gone?
00:43:40Where's it gone?
00:43:41There it is.
00:43:45It's a tiny little selling pit.
00:43:53All right, let me check with the inspector.
00:43:56Okay, speak to you soon.
00:43:58All right.
00:43:58Merry Christmas, guys.
00:44:03Merry Christmas, Seb.
00:44:04Yeah, ditto.
00:44:06Now, where are we at with the search for Ashley Sims?
00:44:09So, um, B&Bs, hotels, guest horses, nobody's heard from her.
00:44:14And no one's called in with her sighting either.
00:44:16It's like she's vanished into thin air.
00:44:17Oh, and Catherine just called.
00:44:20She said she can still squeeze us in for her Christmas Day lunch,
00:44:22but it's her last sitting, so we have to go now.
00:44:24And we're still asking ourselves,
00:44:27how was Darian shot with a bullet fired from a gun
00:44:29locked in a drawer in Swindon at the time that it happened?
00:44:34And what has Blitzen got to do with all of this?
00:44:38Are you coming, sir?
00:44:41Well, yeah, you guys go.
00:44:42I'll just keep working.
00:44:44Are you sure, sir?
00:44:46Wait a minute.
00:44:48What are these?
00:44:50Oh, those are the invices, sir, you know?
00:44:52For the stuff I organized to help find Ashley Sims.
00:44:55You have, um, posters, adverts for TV and radio, and, uh...
00:44:59There's over $1,000 that we owe.
00:45:00We can't afford this.
00:45:01Well, um...
00:45:02Well, how big do you think our budget was?
00:45:04It's only because you said whatever it takes.
00:45:07Yeah, but not this much.
00:45:08I mean, what were you thinking?
00:45:10All right, let's...
00:45:11Let's calm it.
00:45:16Seb, why don't you head over to Catherine's,
00:45:17and I'll catch up with you.
00:45:22With respect,
00:45:26he's just doing his best to help.
00:45:29And he's given up his Christmas to do it, sir.
00:45:35Look, I know the case is frustrating,
00:45:37and you've got other things on your mind.
00:45:39What other things?
00:45:40Well, your brother not calling.
00:45:43What?
00:45:43That's not bothering me.
00:45:46It isn't.
00:45:47It isn't?
00:45:48No, it isn't.
00:45:48Yes, it is.
00:45:50Of course it is.
00:45:52And I really wish you'd just admit that,
00:45:54rather than pretending like you don't care
00:45:56when you so clearly care.
00:45:57Just don't take it out on the rest of us.
00:46:11It is.
00:46:27No, it isn't.
00:46:31I dunno.
00:46:35joyeux noel camille and to little chloe her grandmother is missing her today
00:46:50has she opened a present yet no not yet ah one moment camille yes okay
00:46:56yes you know moving
00:47:26so
00:47:37so
00:47:39so
00:47:43so
00:47:56Inspector, everything all right?
00:48:11I'm feeling bad, sir, about messing up your Christmas.
00:48:14I'm sorry you couldn't get to spend it with your daughter.
00:48:16It's not your fault.
00:48:17If anyone's to blame, it's the British transport system,
00:48:21which I am told is not uncommon.
00:48:23I mean, I'd like to say you'd get used to it by being lying.
00:48:28Just a minute.
00:48:43Is that the sea?
00:48:45I can't hear.
00:48:46Yeah.
00:48:47I'm at the shack.
00:48:49It's beautiful out here.
00:48:50It's a really clear night.
00:48:51But then all nights are like that here, aren't they?
00:48:55The moon here is a little more grey than I remember it in St. Marie.
00:49:08I'm just wondering if I made a mistake staying on in St. Marie.
00:49:12Why?
00:49:13Because I know I'm not good when I put myself on the line.
00:49:18I feel like I'm just hanging around, waiting.
00:49:22Your brother?
00:49:24Yeah.
00:49:28I don't think he wants to get in touch.
00:49:30I'm sorry, it's not really your problem anymore, is it, whether I stay or go.
00:49:38It still feels like it is.
00:49:45Inspector.
00:49:46If you are not sure what to do, the only advice I can offer is that you put your trust in that island.
00:49:53And I did for most of my life.
00:49:58And in return, it delivered me true happiness.
00:50:07If St. Marie won't bring your brother to you, then perhaps it will bring you someone or something else.
00:50:20Be patient.
00:50:24Yeah, well, you know patience isn't my forte, right?
00:50:28I know.
00:50:31But what am I supposed to do in the meantime?
00:50:32Might I suggest you focus on solving that case you have?
00:50:40You're missed here, you know?
00:50:48Good night, Inspector.
00:50:50Good night.
00:51:21Blitzen. Why Blitzen?
00:51:23Why Blitzen?
00:51:26Officer Rose?
00:51:27Inspector.
00:51:29What's up?
00:51:30I wanted to come and say I'm sorry for spending all that money you don't have in your budget.
00:51:34So, er, I wanted to pay it back.
00:51:41There's $322.86 in there, which I took from my savings. I mean, it's all my savings but that's cool. And if you deduct $20 from my wages each month, you should be paid back in about two years I reckon.
00:51:56Officer Rose, you've got a good heart. Anyone ever tell you that?
00:52:05Anyone ever tell you that?
00:52:06Well, my auntie. Like, all the time. You know?
00:52:10Take this.
00:52:11You don't have to pay anything back. We'll find it in the budget. And there's no need to apologise, alright? In fact, I should apologise for blazing at you like that. What you did was, erm, was really good work.
00:52:31Anyway, come on. I've got a new lead. Let's go and wake D.S. Thomas up.
00:52:42He can't keep doing this.
00:52:46Happy Boxing Day, D.S. Thomas.
00:52:49Listen, erm, I wanna apologise for losing it and ruining Christmas. I'll make it up to you. I promise.
00:53:02And you were right about me taking it out on you because of Solomon.
00:53:10I just really wanted it. You know?
00:53:15I'm sorry too.
00:53:18Good morning, Sarge. The inspector tell you the good news yet?
00:53:23He's only gonna make a big breakthrough in the case.
00:53:26Which is a big relief.
00:53:27Because I was drawing a blank.
00:53:29You have tea?
00:53:32So I've been going through Darien St. Jules' phone records.
00:53:35And he phoned someone the day before he was murdered.
00:53:38A friend of his called Trishawn King.
00:53:41Now he was over on Montserrat for Christmas.
00:53:44So I asked Darlene to speak with him.
00:53:47Darlene?
00:53:49Yeah.
00:53:50And how was she with that?
00:53:52You know? She was, she was cool with it.
00:53:54Inspector, it's Christmas day.
00:53:57What in god's name do you think you're doing?
00:54:04Anyway, it turned out Darien feared for his life.
00:54:07And who was asking Trishawn where he can get hold of a gun for protection.
00:54:12He thought someone was going to kill him.
00:54:14Did he say who?
00:54:16Hmm, but he did say he was caught up in something he shouldn't have and get this
00:54:20He thought the woman he was trying to help have been murdered
00:54:23Now I'm caught up in it all and now he was worried that he was going to suffer the same fate
00:54:28Whoa, wait
00:54:29Darian told Trishan he thought Ashley Sims was murdered, but it would explain why no one seen her the last few days
00:54:36So then if this is true, that means that whoever killed Ashley Sims
00:54:41Probably also murdered Darian St. Jude's to silence him
00:54:44So what we need to start looking for now is anyone who had a reason to kill Ashley Sims
00:54:50But both Helen and Neil Dugdale to start with actually stole half a million pounds from their company and
00:54:58There's someone else as well
00:55:05We've been looking at your phone records and these miss Hickson a text messages from you to Ashley Sims just before she came out here
00:55:13You'll regret ever meeting me stay away from my boyfriend or else. I'm not afraid to hurt you
00:55:21The list goes on
00:55:23Okay to explain
00:55:25They had a thing right
00:55:28Gavin and Ashley everything behind my back or sort of
00:55:33Sort of
00:55:35Yeah, like it wasn't like a real thing like they never really got together, but
00:55:38But he liked her
00:55:40Yeah
00:55:42God knows why
00:55:44She was weird
00:55:46But I think Gav liked that about her
00:55:48And he called things off between us
00:55:50And that's when I started warning her off
00:55:54Guess I just got a bit carried away
00:55:56I just didn't want to lose him
00:55:57And you didn't
00:55:58Now that Ashley's conveniently disappeared
00:55:59You've got Gavin to yourself now haven't you?
00:56:00What?
00:56:01Is that what you think?
00:56:02That I killed her?
00:56:03I wouldn't
00:56:04I didn't
00:56:05It'll be about Gavin
00:56:06We need to know what we know
00:56:07But Ashley called things off with Gav
00:56:08Why would I kill her?
00:56:10Inspector
00:56:11You need to hear the truth
00:56:13What?
00:56:14And I'm afraid you're not going to get that from her
00:56:16No disrespect Karen
00:56:17I didn't.
00:56:20It'll be about Gavin.
00:56:22We need to tell him what we know.
00:56:24But as she called things off with Gav, why would I kill her?
00:56:28Inspector, you need to hear the truth.
00:56:32What?
00:56:33And I'm afraid you're not going to get that from her.
00:56:35No disrespect, Karen.
00:56:36Neil, come on, man.
00:56:38What are you saying?
00:56:40Whatever she's told you is ten times worse.
00:56:42Neil, what are you saying?
00:56:43Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:56:44You've had your chance.
00:56:45Go on.
00:56:47He had a thing for Ashley.
00:56:49Is that it?
00:56:50We already know.
00:56:51No, it was more than that.
00:56:52Gavin was obsessed.
00:56:55When Ashley said they couldn't see each other anymore, he had to take time off work.
00:56:58And I've seen the posters you've been putting up.
00:56:59If Ashley's gone missing, then I'm telling you, it'll have something to do with Gavin.
00:57:05Inspector!
00:57:11Someone's just broken into the villa where Darian was shut.
00:57:46Mr. Bradbury, this doesn't look good at all.
00:58:01But then I don't think you need me to tell you that.
00:58:07You want to start by telling us what we're going to find in that pool you've just emptied?
00:58:11And we know it's not the gun used to kill Darian St. Jules,
00:58:14because that's currently sitting in a police station somewhere in Swindon.
00:58:17So what's down there?
00:58:18Why have you come back to the crime scene, Gavin? What's so important?
00:58:21Inspector! Found something.
00:58:25What is it?
00:58:26A bullet.
00:58:27One that's been fired.
00:58:33Why is there a bullet in the pool, Gav?
00:58:37It's like...
00:58:38keepsake.
00:58:41Something to remember Ashley by.
00:58:44A bullet?
00:58:48There are other things that I've got of hers as well.
00:58:51Like...
00:58:51More like normal things.
00:58:55I'm really not interested in those, funny enough.
00:58:58Ashley, she's...
00:59:00She's not like anyone I've ever met before.
00:59:02Like, it was exciting being around her.
00:59:04And her life was so different to mine.
00:59:08Yeah, I hear that.
00:59:09The bullet.
00:59:10Yeah.
00:59:10She has a gun.
00:59:15She was looking after it as a favour for someone that she knew from prison.
00:59:18And she...
00:59:19Well...
00:59:19We...
00:59:21Went out to the woods one day and she let me fire her.
00:59:24It was amazing, right?
00:59:26It was a...
00:59:26You know, like exhilarating.
00:59:29And I went and got one of the bullets.
00:59:31You know, like I said that I would keep it with me to remind me of her.
00:59:33And they say romance is dead.
00:59:37So, why did it end up in the pool?
00:59:40I panicked.
00:59:42When there was that dead guy and Neil called the police.
00:59:46I was worried that if you found it, you'd think it was me that shot him.
00:59:49So, I took it out and I was wondering what to do and...
00:59:53I dropped it.
00:59:56It fell in the pool.
00:59:58And the more you were sniffing around, the more I started to worry that you'd find it.
01:00:01So, I came back and I...
01:00:03So, you loved Ashley then?
01:00:09Yeah, I guess, yeah.
01:00:12Must have really hurt when she ended things.
01:00:15Gavin, we believe Ashley Sims was murdered on Miss Island in the last few days.
01:00:22What? No.
01:00:23What?
01:00:24She can't be.
01:00:24I'm kind of wondering if maybe you did it.
01:00:27Me?
01:00:29Why would I kill Ashley?
01:00:31Because you couldn't have her.
01:00:32And it hurt like hell.
01:00:33No, no, no, no.
01:00:34You've got this wrong.
01:00:35I didn't kill her.
01:00:36Like, oh, that man.
01:00:39You seem a bit edgy, Gavin.
01:00:41Is there something you aren't telling us?
01:00:44There's nothing.
01:00:46Really, there is nothing.
01:00:54Paradise Court Hotel, please.
01:01:02What is it that he's not saying?
01:01:10Hey, this is Ashley's phone.
01:01:12You know what to do.
01:01:13Ashley, it's me.
01:01:15We need to talk.
01:01:16I'm worried about you.
01:01:17The police have been asking questions, and I think they know about us, so just let me know
01:01:23what you want me to do, yeah?
01:01:23Please call me back.
01:01:25Please call me back.
01:01:26I love you.
01:01:27You all right, sir?
01:01:28You seem a bit tense.
01:01:42I just can't work this one out.
01:01:45I mean, we've got one potential murder victim whose body we haven't found, another murder
01:01:51victim whose body we have found, but that murder weapon was locked in a desk drawer on
01:01:55the other side of the world when that murder took place.
01:01:57I mean, where do we even start?
01:01:59Well, sounds like you need to go get a little shoulder rub, you know?
01:02:03Release some of that tension.
01:02:05No, you all right, Officer Rose.
01:02:06Ah, this guy again.
01:02:12Listen, mate, I told you before, I'm not interested in upgrading to another phone, so stop calling
01:02:17me, eh?
01:02:17Is that Mervyn Wilson?
01:02:20Yeah, it's still Mervyn Wilson, and I'm still not interested.
01:02:24It's me, Solomon, your brother.
01:02:32Are you there, Mervyn?
01:02:36Mervyn?
01:02:38Yes.
01:02:40Yes, he's here.
01:02:41Don't hang up.
01:02:47Ah, Solomon, it's Mervyn.
01:02:59Yeah, you should already know that.
01:03:00Um, look, mate, I'm sorry.
01:03:03I just wasn't expecting your call.
01:03:05Yeah, I know.
01:03:07I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get in touch, but it was, you know.
01:03:12No, no, no, mate, I totally understand, yeah?
01:03:15I mean, so it's a process, right?
01:03:18But, um, hey, you're calling now, aren't you?
01:03:21Yeah, man, it's a process.
01:03:23But I'm glad to be calling now.
01:03:29Are you still there?
01:03:32Mervyn?
01:03:33Yeah, yeah, I'm still here.
01:03:35Um, look, um, Solomon, I'm really, really sorry to do this to you, and I am so glad you
01:03:44called, and that we're finally speaking, and I really, really want us to talk again, but
01:03:50right now, there's something I need to do, yeah?
01:03:56Yeah, man, no problem.
01:03:57But I'll tune.
01:03:59That was quick.
01:04:01Officer Rose, that billboard, you did that, right?
01:04:05Yes, sir, I did.
01:04:07But you should already have the invoice for that.
01:04:09It's not going to cost any extra.
01:04:10No, no, no, I don't care about the cost.
01:04:11It was worth every penny.
01:04:12Come, come, look.
01:04:19You see, all along, we've been looking at Ashley's footage on phone screens and laptops, yeah?
01:04:25Well, they were too small.
01:04:28I don't understand.
01:04:30You see where Ashley is?
01:04:31This is a still from the video she made, and in the background, there's a ship passing
01:04:36by.
01:04:37Now, before, that was just a speck, but now you've blown it up.
01:04:41Look at it.
01:04:43What about the ship?
01:04:44Look at what it's called.
01:04:48Blitzen.
01:04:50Blitzen.
01:04:51Yeah?
01:04:52Now we know.
01:04:53Oh, Officer Rose, if you were so tall, I'd kiss you.
01:04:58Why would Darian write the name of that ship on his hands?
01:05:02Well, he obviously saw the footage himself, and then, um, he saw something in it.
01:05:07But what?
01:05:14Blitzen.
01:05:15It's like she's vanished into thin airs.
01:05:17Why have come here?
01:05:18I thought I was helping someone.
01:05:19You know what?
01:05:21I think I'm starting to work out what went down here.
01:05:25But I need to make a phone call.
01:05:28And you need to get onto airport security.
01:05:30Come on.
01:05:33All right, mate.
01:05:34Much appreciated.
01:05:35Cheers.
01:05:37Wow.
01:05:39What?
01:05:39Wow.
01:05:42So, that ship behind Ashley Sims, it's owned by a Scandinavian container shipping company.
01:05:48Now, we know from the information on that footage, Ashley recorded it on the 4th of October, right?
01:05:53Right.
01:05:54Well, check this.
01:05:56The Blitzen was passing by the south coast of England on the 4th of October.
01:06:00Thousands of miles from the Caribbean.
01:06:02So, Ashley recorded that video on a beach back in the UK?
01:06:06Which means she was never even here.
01:06:09Inspector, the airport just emailed over security camera footage the day Ashley Sims arrived on the island.
01:06:18Wait, she was here?
01:06:20Thank you for a wonderful Christmas, Marjorie.
01:06:23Oh, it's been lovely.
01:06:24Let me give you a hand with that.
01:06:26Oh, don't be daft.
01:06:27You don't know where anything goes.
01:06:29Then you can tell me.
01:06:30It's the least I can do.
01:06:33Living room.
01:06:34Sideboard drawer.
01:06:35Living room.
01:06:36Sideboard drawer.
01:06:41But if Ashley Sims has never been here before, why do immigration records show that she has?
01:06:46Because someone else came pretending to be Ashley, presumably on a fake passport, and that someone paid Darian 100k to lie and say Ashley rented his property for the past few months.
01:06:56But why would they do that?
01:06:58To misdirect and confuse anyone looking for her.
01:07:00Because they'd already killed Ashley and taken the money.
01:07:04So one of our four suspects has been here three months previously.
01:07:07Which is why we're going through this footage, because it will show who was pretending to be Ashley Sims.
01:07:14There.
01:07:15Why didn't I see that before?
01:07:17Why I've come here to try and understand why I hurt people.
01:07:21No, it was more than that.
01:07:22Gavin was obsessed.
01:07:24Of course.
01:07:25After that, nobody is seen leaving or arriving.
01:07:28So it's got to be one of these four who shot Darian St. Jules.
01:07:32You were in the hammock when whatever happened, happened.
01:07:35Did you hear the gunshot?
01:07:36It's like Helen said, you know, the room out here, it's stronger than you used to.
01:07:40What if there was another smell the killer was trying to hide?
01:07:44It makes perfect sense now.
01:07:46For definite, there's no gun at the villa.
01:07:47The commissioner found a gun locked in the desk drawer at Dougdale's offices back in the UK.
01:07:52We need to call the commissioner.
01:07:54The commissioner?
01:07:55Why?
01:07:56Because he's with the killer as we speak.
01:08:10Come on, sir. Pick up.
01:08:16And what about these ones?
01:08:18St. Drew!
01:08:19Oh.
01:08:24I've always wanted to go to the Caribbean.
01:08:45I said the same draw.
01:08:47That necklace, the stone is lithmer, unique to St. Marie.
01:09:01You told me you always wanted to go to the Caribbean like you've never been.
01:09:06You were lying.
01:09:12No, no, Selwyn.
01:09:14It was you that went to St. Marie three months ago.
01:09:19If Ashley never went then, is she dead?
01:09:24Oh, I'm sorry.
01:09:25I didn't mean to.
01:09:26I didn't mean to.
01:09:27I didn't mean to.
01:09:28It just happened.
01:09:29It just happened.
01:09:30Mr. Holmes, I think you should put the knife down, no.
01:09:39Please.
01:09:44Oh.
01:09:49That video she made, it wasn't in the Caribbean, was it?
01:09:57Bournemouth
01:09:59On a Sunday she'd gone to the seaside
01:10:04She realised she'd made a mistake stealing that money
01:10:08Didn't she?
01:10:10Then she wanted to give the money back
01:10:12And send the video as an apology
01:10:16I want to say sorry
01:10:17I don't know why I keep doing this
01:10:19Miss Simms didn't leave the country
01:10:22I'd gone in to the office that day to deal with an order that had gone wrong
01:10:29It wasn't my fault
01:10:30But I was the one who had to go in and fix it
01:10:34And then when I let myself in
01:10:36I found Ashley there and I knew
01:10:39I knew straight away what the money was
01:10:42You overhear a lot when you sit at reception all day
01:10:46I knew it was you
01:10:47And I went to call the police
01:10:50Wait, I'm giving the money back
01:10:52Marjorie, don't
01:10:54Please
01:10:55I'm calling the police now
01:10:58Don't do this to me
01:10:59You're not
01:11:00And Ashley tried to stop me
01:11:02I won't let you, Marjorie
01:11:04Get off me
01:11:05Pushed her off me and
01:11:07And I wasn't even supposed to be in that day
01:11:23But it's like I told you
01:11:27Nobody, nobody cares for me there
01:11:30They just take me for granted
01:11:33You saw the money
01:11:34And thought
01:11:36Finally
01:11:38You could take something back
01:11:40For yourself
01:11:42All you had to do was
01:11:44Dispose of the body
01:11:46Where?
01:11:56In my back garden
01:11:57And then you made a fake passport in Ashley's name
01:12:06Oh, that wasn't hard, you know, with all the kit we've got in the office
01:12:10You flew on that passport to St. Marie
01:12:13To make it look as if Miss Sims had run away
01:12:17To the other side of the world
01:12:19And rented her property there
01:12:21For the last few months
01:12:23You know, I really did want to go to the Caribbean
01:12:27It's just that I never had the chance
01:12:31Or the money
01:12:33Until
01:12:34And if you were going to misdirect
01:12:37From what really happened here
01:12:39In Swindon
01:12:40Where the dead body was
01:12:42Then
01:12:43The farther away
01:12:45The better
01:12:46And no one would realize
01:12:49Until
01:12:54Things started
01:12:55To go wrong
01:12:56And you received
01:12:59A phone call
01:13:00You're saying
01:13:07Marjorie killed
01:13:09Ashley Sims
01:13:10Our receptionist
01:13:11That Marjorie
01:13:12That Marjorie
01:13:13Yes, Marjorie Dodds
01:13:14The receptionist
01:13:15Killed Ashley Sims
01:13:17In England
01:13:18And made it look as if she ran away to the Caribbean
01:13:20With your 500k
01:13:22Oh, I did not see that coming
01:13:24So which one of us shot the man found in our swimming pool?
01:13:28It wasn't any of you
01:13:29But it had to be
01:13:31You said so
01:13:32No one else was here
01:13:33Yeah, you're right
01:13:34I did say that
01:13:35But what I didn't know then was that
01:13:37Darian St. Jules wasn't shot at your villa
01:13:40It just looked like he was
01:13:42That's why no gunshot was heard
01:13:44Because
01:13:45There wasn't one
01:13:46He'd already been shot
01:13:48We know now
01:13:54From our colleague in the UK
01:13:55That Marjorie had paid Darian money
01:13:58She came to the island
01:13:59Three months ago
01:13:59On a forged passport
01:14:00And she gave him
01:14:01£100,000
01:14:03To lie
01:14:05And cover
01:14:05If anyone ever came to the island
01:14:07Asking after Ashley
01:14:08She'd convinced him
01:14:10He was doing a favour
01:14:11For a very vulnerable friend of hers
01:14:14But when you visited him a few days ago
01:14:16Mrs. Dogdale
01:14:17Asking questions
01:14:18Mentioning the missing £500,000
01:14:20Darian started to wonder
01:14:21What he'd gotten himself involved in
01:14:24And when he re-watched that footage more closely
01:14:26The footage of Ashley you'd shown him
01:14:29As an experienced fisherman
01:14:30Who knew the waters of St. Marie very well
01:14:32Something about it bothered him
01:14:35Zooming in
01:14:36He was able to read the name of the boat Blitzen
01:14:38He knew this was not a St. Marie vessel
01:14:41He worked out
01:14:44That the video of Ashley
01:14:46Was actually shot
01:14:47In the UK
01:14:48And having heard from you
01:14:50Mrs. Dogdale
01:14:51That Ashley went missing
01:14:52With £500,000 of your money
01:14:54Darian started to realise
01:14:56That Ashley had never been to the island
01:14:58He'd only ever met Marjorie
01:15:00So he phoned Miss Dodds
01:15:02Asking what was going on
01:15:04We need to talk
01:15:10Listen
01:15:11Darian
01:15:12You've got this all wrong
01:15:14All throughout this case
01:15:16We thought Darian's killer
01:15:18Had to be one of you four
01:15:20The one person we never suspected
01:15:22Was Marjorie Dodds
01:15:24It was all the way back in Swindon
01:15:25Or so we thought
01:15:27With Darian threatening to go to the police
01:15:30Marjorie asked him to hang fire
01:15:32And she would fly out here
01:15:34And speak to him in person
01:15:36Marjorie was here
01:15:37On this island
01:15:37At the exact same time we were
01:15:39Yeah
01:15:39She arrived the night before Darian was shot
01:15:42And flew back to the UK the next morning
01:15:43Unable to convince Darian to keep quiet
01:15:47And carry on with the lie
01:15:48Marjorie started to grow desperate
01:15:51Worried he'd tell the police
01:15:53I can give you more money
01:15:54How much?
01:15:55Just tell me and I'll give it to you
01:15:56We know Darian was searching around for a gun
01:16:00For self-protection
01:16:02I just want you to leave
01:16:03Now
01:16:05He never expected Marjorie would use it against him
01:16:10What are you doing?
01:16:15Put the gun down!
01:16:16What is it?
01:16:17What?
01:16:17What?
01:16:21After shooting Darian
01:16:22Marjorie left
01:16:24And headed for the airport
01:16:25Before getting back on the plane
01:16:27Arriving at Dugdale's offices
01:16:29Just in time to meet with our very own Commissioner Patterson
01:16:31If Marjorie shot Darian at his house
01:16:35How did he end up at our villa?
01:16:37Marjorie thought she'd killed him
01:16:39But what she didn't know when she left Darian's place
01:16:41Was that he was still alive
01:16:43It was the fact that he smelled so strongly of someone else's aftershave
01:16:51They helped us work it out
01:16:52Neil's aftershave in fact
01:16:54We thought it was there to cover up another smell
01:16:57That we now know was antiseptic
01:17:00The stuff used to clean up a wound
01:17:03Because as soon as Marjorie quit the scene
01:17:05Darian regained consciousness
01:17:07And patched himself up
01:17:08As far as he was concerned
01:17:10The bullet was just lodged in his shoulder
01:17:12Wasn't life threatening
01:17:13So he put on a fresh t-shirt
01:17:15And headed off for the hospital
01:17:17To get it properly seen to
01:17:18But on the way
01:17:20It passed your villa
01:17:21Which was
01:17:22Just half a mile down the road
01:17:24And I think Darian intended to alert you
01:17:27To what had gone down
01:17:28He stopped here to tell you the truth about Ashley
01:17:30And to warn you about what Marjorie had done
01:17:33That's why he came here that morning
01:17:36To tell you what your colleague had done to Ashley
01:17:39And in turn to him
01:17:40To make sure it didn't happen to anyone else
01:17:43But what Darian didn't know
01:17:45Was that his wound was worse than he thought
01:17:48And he was bleeding internally
01:17:50And so despite his brave effort to alert you all to the truth
01:17:55He died
01:17:56Here in your villa
01:17:57But then someone proceeded to stage the scene
01:18:03As if he was shot in this villa
01:18:06Didn't you, Mr. Bradbury?
01:18:11Me?
01:18:11What?
01:18:12We talked
01:18:13No, of course not
01:18:14No
01:18:14And you did it
01:18:16Because Ashley told you to
01:18:17You're crazy
01:18:19Ashley
01:18:19I don't know what you're talking about
01:18:21Let me have your phone
01:18:24Gavin
01:18:29Gavin, please
01:18:29It's okay
01:18:33Unlock it
01:18:36Bingo
01:18:50Text messages
01:18:51Seemingly from Ashley Sims
01:18:53From the moment she disappeared
01:18:54Right up to today
01:18:55But all of these
01:18:57Were sent by Marjorie Dodds
01:18:58Who kept Ashley's phone
01:19:03After she killed her
01:19:04What?
01:19:04No
01:19:04You know
01:19:05You're wrong
01:19:05She can't be
01:19:06Texting her
01:19:07No
01:19:07This whole time
01:19:08Karen, I'm sorry
01:19:09Look
01:19:09No
01:19:10Karen
01:19:11And here
01:19:13Proof of what happened
01:19:15Messages exchanged on the morning of Darian's death
01:19:17Because despite what you told us, Gavin
01:19:20You were actually the first to discover Darian's body
01:19:22You knew who Darian was
01:19:27Because Ashley had told you all about him
01:19:29And so you contacted Ashley
01:19:32Left a message telling her that Darian had turned up to the villa and died
01:19:36And asking her what was going on
01:19:38A few minutes later she
01:19:39Or rather
01:19:40Marjorie
01:19:42Texted back
01:19:43See Marjorie realized that if the police were called
01:19:48And found Darian with his wound patched up
01:19:50They'd know he was shot somewhere else
01:19:53And the trail would lead right back to her
01:19:55So
01:19:56She had to do two things
01:19:59First
01:19:59She texted you with instructions
01:20:01Second
01:20:02She had to clear up the real scene of the crime
01:20:04Marjorie's confessed to her colleague in the UK
01:20:06That she quickly doubled back from the airport
01:20:08And returned to Darian's house
01:20:09Before disposing of the gun
01:20:11And the t-shirt he was wearing when she shot him
01:20:13Meanwhile you moved the body outside to the swimming pool
01:20:15There's also a mention here of that bullet you kept
01:20:18As a memento
01:20:19In the text messages you sent to Ashley
01:20:21Well that's how Marjorie knew
01:20:23So as Ashley
01:20:25She asked you to remove the bullet she killed Darian with
01:20:28And replace it
01:20:29With the one she knew you had
01:20:31However
01:20:33In your haste
01:20:35You must have dropped the bullet you extracted
01:20:38Into the swimming pool
01:20:39But you knew you could come back and retrieve it later
01:20:43Once you switched the bullets
01:20:46The heartbeat was over
01:20:47You disposed of the dressing
01:20:49Then made a hole in his t-shirt
01:20:54And let the blood around the wound soak in
01:20:56So now it looked like Darian had been shot after he entered the villa
01:21:01Not before
01:21:02The last problem you had was getting rid of that antiseptic smell
01:21:06Because that stuff lingers right
01:21:08And if the police noticed it
01:21:09We'd certainly be asking who cleaned up the wound
01:21:12And why
01:21:13So you ran into the bathroom and got hold of some aftershave
01:21:16Nails and doused him in it
01:21:18So now all you had to do was pretend to be asleep
01:21:22When Mrs. Dogdale discovered the body
01:21:24Gavin
01:21:25We need to get to the airport
01:21:26You've got to pack
01:21:28Leaving us without a scooby
01:21:30As to how a man was shot with a gun
01:21:32That was locked in a desk drawer
01:21:335,000 miles away
01:21:35In a Swindon warehouse
01:21:36In the end
01:21:37It wasn't just the police that Marjorie Dodds had duped
01:21:40It was you as well, Gavin
01:21:42You see, you thought you were helping the woman you loved
01:21:45A woman you'd do anything for
01:21:47When you were actually helping her killer
01:21:50Officer Rose
01:21:58Mr. Bradbury
01:22:08I'm resting on the suspicion of perverting the course of justice
01:22:11You don't need to say anything
01:22:12But it may harm your defence
01:22:14If you do not mention one question
01:22:15Something you later rely on in court
01:22:17Anything you do say may be used as evidence
01:22:19I need to know
01:22:20Why did you come to the train station that night
01:22:24And invite me into your home
01:22:26I'd take that risk
01:22:28Because I didn't want to spend Christmas on my own again
01:22:34I'm so sorry I spoiled it all
01:22:54Inspector
01:22:55The arrest has been made
01:22:59I'm pleased to see
01:23:00Same here
01:23:01We couldn't have done it without you, sir
01:23:03Oh, and are you doing all right?
01:23:06Me?
01:23:07Yes, of course
01:23:08I'm fine
01:23:10Merry Christmas, sir
01:23:11I'm doing fine
01:23:19We regret to announce that the 10-15 to Leeds will be delayed due to a shortage of train staff
01:23:30Chief Commissioner, it's Selwyn Patterson
01:23:40And to you
01:23:43And apologies for calling you during the holidays
01:23:46But I wanted to know if you'd found my replacement as yet
01:23:54I see
01:23:58I've been doing some thinking
01:24:00And I wondered if there was any chance of my returning to the road
01:24:09If it's still vacant
01:24:12No, it's been a long time
01:24:17Since I've been searching
01:24:20Since I've been searching
01:24:23To find you
01:24:25The thing is, Harry
01:24:26The classic Christmas Day Sunday roast lunch is all well and good
01:24:31But when push comes to shove
01:24:33The real culinary high point
01:24:36Is the turkey and stuffing sarni
01:24:38Because my friend
01:24:39In my humble opinion
01:24:41It is one of the greatest
01:24:43Delicacies
01:24:45Known to mankind
01:24:46Like bacon and eggs
01:24:49Oh, D.S. Thomas
01:24:51You're just in time
01:24:52Come in, come in
01:24:53Grab those for me, would you?
01:25:00So, uh
01:25:01What is this about, sir?
01:25:04I promised I'd make up for spoiling Christmas Day
01:25:06And that is exactly what I'm doing
01:25:08Come on
01:25:09I don't know why I didn't think of this before
01:25:16My front room on the beach
01:25:18Is that a good idea, do you think?
01:25:21Yeah, why not?
01:25:21So we're watching something
01:25:23We certainly are, D.S. Thomas
01:25:25And not the
01:25:26The great escape
01:25:27Yeah
01:25:27Beers and butties, everyone
01:25:32And thank you to our local mayor
01:25:35For letting me have the leftovers from the bar
01:25:38And you've put it all between two slices of bread
01:25:41Yeah
01:25:42How English
01:25:44Excited for this film, inspector
01:25:47Sounds dope
01:25:48Um
01:25:49Sir
01:25:51Is this really your favourite thing about Christmas?
01:25:57Well, yeah
01:25:58When I was a little boy, growing up
01:26:01Most times, I didn't know where I was going to end up spending Christmas, right?
01:26:06With a foster family or in a care home
01:26:10But wherever I ended up, the one constant every Christmas was this film
01:26:17And it was a comfort to me
01:26:20I bet that little boy
01:26:22Never thought he'd be here
01:26:25In the Caribbean
01:26:26All these years later
01:26:28Watching that same film
01:26:31Surrounded by his friends
01:26:33He certainly didn't care for him
01:26:40So, um, to him
01:26:46Okay then
01:26:51Showtime
01:26:52Yeah
01:26:53Um, look, uh, just give me a few minutes, yeah?
01:27:07Yeah?
01:27:07Solomon, how you doing, man?
01:27:15What do you think this morning is?
01:27:17You got my message, yeah?
01:27:19Um, look
01:27:20I'm sorry I had to cut you off like that before, yeah?
01:27:25It was just an emergency at work I had to deal with
01:27:28So, how's your Christmas been?
01:27:32Yeah?
01:27:33Good
01:27:34Mine, um
01:27:37Yeah, yeah, it's been really good
01:27:41Look, um
01:27:45I don't know how you feel about this, but
01:27:48I was wondering if you wanted to meet up sometime
01:27:52Yeah?
01:27:58Yeah, I definitely would like to
