00:00:00It's your latest travel update from us here at the station.
00:00:02It's the 1st of December, so Christmas has officially started.
00:00:06And this is a classic.
00:00:09Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
00:00:12Jingle bell swing and jingle bell ring
00:00:16Snow and glow, a push for the fire
00:00:20Morning, Helen. Christmas begins.
00:00:24It is deep.
00:00:26There you go.
00:00:30Jingle bell time
00:00:32Dancing and prancing in Jingle bell square
00:00:36In the frosty air
00:00:39What a bright time
00:00:42I'll get you with a nice cup of tea after that.
00:00:45I've never seen the town centre so busy.
00:00:51Oh, I'm sorry, Helen. I didn't know there was a tea meeting.
00:00:54Oh, you're fine, Marjorie. I was just making a small announcement.
00:00:58You'll never believe it.
00:00:58She's only taking us away for the office Christmas party.
00:01:01It's been a tough old year.
00:01:03And I just want to say thank you to everyone for helping me get through it.
00:01:07Guess what?
00:01:08We're only going to the ruddy Caribbean.
00:01:10Oh, my goodness gracious me.
00:01:13Oh, although it does mean missing the away game of Colchester.
00:01:16What's that matter?
00:01:16It's the Caribbean.
00:01:19What a way to celebrate our...
00:01:20And you've properly budged it for it, Mum?
00:01:22Yes, Niamh. It's all accounted for.
00:01:24Quite sure?
00:01:26You know, I've always wanted to visit that part of the world.
00:01:29Oh, um...
00:01:32Not you, Marjorie, love.
00:01:36It's senior staff only.
00:01:37I am so sorry.
00:01:38I should have said...
00:01:39Oh, of course.
00:01:41I'm sorry, Helen.
00:01:43Silly old me.
00:01:44Duh.
00:01:44Oh, I probably should get that.
00:01:52We are so going bikini shopping after work tonight.
00:01:57You might treat yourself to some speed, or was...
00:01:59Duckdale's branded merchandise.
00:02:01Marjorie speaking.
00:02:08Duckdale's branded merchandise.
00:02:09Marjorie speaking.
00:02:11Yes, I'll just put you through to our warehouse.
00:02:14All the ancient food and collect.
00:02:22See the amazing jewelry for us.
00:02:26La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:02:28Strike the heart and join the chorus.
00:02:31La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:02:33Yes!
00:02:34I love it!
00:02:36La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:02:38Why not end of human-type treasure.
00:02:41La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:02:43Keep us all going down down
00:02:45A-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
00:02:48Oh, yeah
00:02:49We've got fish to change right now
00:02:52I'm so crazy, man
00:03:13Happy Christmas
00:03:25Who's it?
00:03:40Hi, Marjorie
00:03:41I just want to let you know that there's a Commissioner Patterson arriving
00:03:45It's a serious situation over here
00:03:49Give him access to anything he needs
00:03:53I've told the police here that we're going to cooperate fully
00:03:55Will do, Helen
00:03:56Oh, I hear him now
00:03:58We'll speak later
00:04:00Okay
00:04:00Ah, you must be the policeman from the Caribbean
00:04:05Commissioner Patterson, is it?
00:04:08Selwyn Patterson
00:04:09So, um, what has actually happened out there?
00:04:14The police were called to your colleagues' holiday villa
00:04:17Where, I'm sorry to see, a man was found
00:04:20Shot dead
00:04:21Murdered
00:04:23The porque, the boy was found out there a town, there was…
00:04:37Okay, well, there were a million people who would like him to be using to attack the B senator's office
00:04:40Ayorum
00:04:40organization
00:04:41In the United States
00:04:41Still, unless it's a river
00:04:41longing for a new скreed
00:04:42Along the点
00:04:43We've been on the road
00:04:44We've been on the hard road
00:04:45To a few clouds
00:04:46I wish you all the best and good luck to you.
00:05:16Little king people.
00:05:17Yes, I. Yes.
00:05:20Ali, let's go.
00:05:30Good morning, Sarge.
00:05:32Morning, Seb.
00:05:33Got a card from Darlene.
00:05:35Looks like she won't make it back for Christmas.
00:05:38Her auntie's still sick, so she's staying on Montserrat.
00:05:41Nothing in the post for the inspector.
00:05:44You know, from Antigua.
00:05:46His brother, you mean.
00:05:48It's been three months.
00:05:50I guess it's like a lot, you know?
00:05:52I mean, getting a letter from a brother you never knew you had.
00:05:57Might take some time.
00:05:58I just feel sorry for him.
00:06:00He keeps saying he's fine about it, but I don't think he is.
00:06:06Where is D.I. Wilson?
00:06:08Rehearsing.
00:06:08Oh, yes.
00:06:10Oh, I am so jealous.
00:06:11He must be hyped up to wear that costume, huh?
00:06:13I bet he is.
00:06:17I'm really not happy about this.
00:06:19Why not, Mervyn?
00:06:20Because I look like a ninny.
00:06:22No, you don't.
00:06:24You look very...
00:06:26authentic.
00:06:27I just don't think the boots are helping.
00:06:34Look, with all due respect, Miss Baudet, I just think it'd be better off finding somebody else for this.
00:06:40You know, somebody less...
00:06:40me.
00:06:41Mervyn, it has always been the commissioner who carries up this task for me.
00:06:48With him gone.
00:06:49Inspector.
00:06:50Oh, great.
00:06:51Yes, sir.
00:06:53You look cool, man.
00:06:54Not another word.
00:06:55That's wrong, huh?
00:06:57Could we have a chat, sir?
00:07:04We have a murder to attend.
00:07:07For real?
00:07:10Well, that's up, then.
00:07:11I've got word to do.
00:07:13Conversation over.
00:07:14Conversation paused.
00:07:15Sorry, Catherine.
00:07:16Come on, let's go.
00:07:20Inspector.
00:07:22You think maybe you should change first?
00:07:41The victim's name is Darion St. Jules.
00:07:54He's a local fisherman, lives half a mile up the coast.
00:07:57Right.
00:07:57The guests staying here are from the UK.
00:08:00They all say they haven't a clue who he is or what he was doing here.
00:08:05But clearly, someone must have shot him and left him there.
00:08:08Right.
00:08:09No sign of the gun, but paramedic sourcing with the bullet still lodged in the victim's shoulder, cause of death was possibly from internal bleeding.
00:08:20Right.
00:08:21And what about you, Inspector?
00:08:22And what about you, Inspector?
00:08:23Anything of interest?
00:08:26Well, he certainly liked his aftershave.
00:08:28Have a sniff.
00:08:29I guess that's pretty strong.
00:08:37I don't know if it's cause of his work.
00:08:39You know, slapped on the old cologne to cover the smell of fish.
00:08:42I know a big man in Tootin did the same thing.
00:08:44And that's what bothers you the most?
00:08:46The fact that the victim used a bit too much aftershave?
00:08:48Actually, what's bothering me the most is what's written on the palm of his left hand.
00:08:57Blitzen.
00:08:58Like the reindeer.
00:09:00Is there anyone I can think of?
00:09:03Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donna, Blitzen.
00:09:08And Rudolf.
00:09:10Thank you, Officer Rose.
00:09:14The ink seems fresh.
00:09:15Which means he wrote it in the last 12 hours or so.
00:09:20And then not long after, he was shot.
00:09:22When it is Christmas, sir, could just be a coincidence.
00:09:32We've no idea who this guy is or what he's doing in our villa.
00:09:35So how can we know why he wrote the name of one of Santa's reindeer on his hand?
00:09:38I don't know.
00:09:39I'm just asking the question.
00:09:40Not a problem, is it?
00:09:43No.
00:09:44No, of course not.
00:09:45Let's start with you telling me what you're doing here on St. Marie.
00:09:49Well, we flew here for our office Christmas party.
00:09:52It wasn't cheap.
00:09:53We were having the time of our lives.
00:09:59Light a beat!
00:10:01Light a beat!
00:10:03No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:10:05No!
00:10:06Oh, my God.
00:10:08Everyone get in!
00:10:08Maybe talk us through the events of last night.
00:10:17Yeah, what happened exactly?
00:10:19We said we'd take it easy for our last night.
00:10:21Then we got back here and carried on drinking.
00:10:35Yeah, looks like quite a party you had.
00:10:37Yeah, done right it was.
00:10:38Sorry, that's not appropriate.
00:10:43The rum out here, it's stronger than we're used to.
00:10:46Oh, what happened above?
00:10:50One more straight away and no one is allowed to do it.
00:10:53Come on, it's our last night!
00:10:56And what time did the party end?
00:10:58I haven't got a clue, mate, to be honest.
00:11:00Yeah, it's all a little bit hazy.
00:11:02I really don't remember very much.
00:11:04You lot are lightweights, man.
00:11:06I remember everything.
00:11:10Helen, you and me put Neil to bed about midnight.
00:11:13I'm sure I wasn't that bad.
00:11:14Oh, you so were.
00:11:17Oh, he's always had a low tolerance.
00:11:19Mum?
00:11:20Sorry, love.
00:11:22Can we just...
00:11:24Yeah, Helen, you went to bed as well.
00:11:28Me and you kept on it till about half three.
00:11:33Yeah, but you were so cute.
00:11:34You were dead to the world by then.
00:11:36So, uh, I left you asleep in the hammock.
00:11:40And then what?
00:11:44Oh, and then, um, the taxi for the airport woke me up.
00:11:49Everyone!
00:11:50Wake up!
00:11:52Wake up!
00:11:54That's when I saw him.
00:11:56I thought he was asleep at first.
00:11:58But when I got closer, I saw the blood.
00:12:00Someone call an ambulance!
00:12:02Now!
00:12:05You were in the hammock when whatever happened, happened.
00:12:08You didn't hear the gunshot?
00:12:10Well, yeah, yeah, you'd have thought.
00:12:11But, well, it's like Helen said, you know, the room out here, it's, uh...
00:12:14Stronger than you used to.
00:12:15Inspector!
00:12:16Inspector!
00:12:19That's something you should see.
00:12:23This is the only security camera footage from the villa.
00:12:26Footage is from this morning, outside the front door.
00:12:29The victim arrives at 5.32am, heads inside.
00:12:33The door was unlocked, so he let himself in.
00:12:35After that, nobody is seen leaving or arriving.
00:12:38So, the only way in or out is from the front.
00:12:41And the drop at the back is too steep for access.
00:12:45So, it's got to be one of these four who shot Darren and St. Jules.
00:12:49Which means the gun that they used must still be here.
00:12:52But they're all saying they've never met him before.
00:12:54So, why would one of them kill a total stranger?
00:12:58Hello, can I help you?
00:13:13Have you come to check-in?
00:13:14The name's Helen Dugdale.
00:13:16Of course, one moment, please.
00:13:19Can't believe they're not letting us fly home.
00:13:22This police 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.
00:13:31None of this would have happened.
00:13:34Girl, do you think there's something Helen's not telling us?
00:13:39She's been on edge ever since the police arrived.
00:13:50So, why did Darien go to that villa at 5.30 in the morning?
00:13:54Let's see what we find at his house.
00:13:58How are you getting on, sir?
00:14:03Well, I haven't found anything that connects our victim to the suspects.
00:14:07But I have found this.
00:14:08The victim's aftershave.
00:14:10Really?
00:14:11This again?
00:14:11It's different to the one he was wearing at the crime scene.
00:14:14Here, have a sniff.
00:14:15I haven't found any others here.
00:14:20And there certainly wasn't one on his person.
00:14:22So why did he smell different to the brand of aftershave that he owned?
00:14:25So, I searched the suspects, the villa, and the surrounding areas.
00:14:46And there was no gun.
00:14:48No, it has to be there.
00:14:49No one left the villa after the victim was shot, so the weapon has to be there somewhere.
00:14:53Yeah, no, I totally get the logic, Inspector.
00:14:55But you're staying there?
00:14:57For definite, there's no gun at the villa.
00:14:59But that doesn't make any sense.
00:15:00So, sorry.
00:15:01Excuse me.
00:15:02Hello?
00:15:03Yes!
00:15:03Well, this is a strange one.
00:15:06We've got four people suspected of shooting a man they don't know, with a gun they don't have.
00:15:11Let's start working through the victim's laptop, see what's on there.
00:15:13We need to find that gun.
00:15:17What?
00:15:18Actually, sir, it's the Nativity Service, if you'd forgotten.
00:15:22Are you serious?
00:15:23And we promised Catherine we'd make sure you get there.
00:15:27Look, we've got a murder case to solve, in case you hadn't noticed.
00:15:30And I haven't got time for play-acting with a bunch of kids at some school nativity.
00:15:35Then you'd better find the time, Inspector.
00:15:40Why is she...
00:15:42Good evening to you, Inspector.
00:15:44Officer Curtis was a pleasant surprise.
00:15:47My niece is performing in the Nativity tonight.
00:15:51And word has got back to me that they might not have a narrator.
00:15:55Because the man who is supposed to be doing it is being a grumpy goose about the whole thing.
00:16:00Grumpy...
00:16:01Now, listen...
00:16:01No, you listen to me.
00:16:03You are doing it.
00:16:05End of.
00:16:06So get your backside down to that church and man up.
00:16:09You know, I never did like this sort of thing.
00:16:28The Nativity, carol services.
00:16:31Right.
00:16:32Is there anything about Christmas you do like, sir?
00:16:35No, not really.
00:16:36Oh, hang on.
00:16:37Yeah.
00:16:38The Great Escape.
00:16:39The what?
00:16:40The Great Escape.
00:16:42The movie.
00:16:42It was on telly every Christmas.
00:16:45You know, with the motorcycle stunt.
00:16:47And the cooler.
00:16:48The dirt down the trousers.
00:16:52No, I'd give up.
00:16:53Me too.
00:16:54No, I've been waiting.
00:16:55Ready when you are.
00:16:56Right.
00:17:02Right.
00:17:03Um, here we go then.
00:17:06I guess.
00:17:06Yes.
00:17:26You okay?
00:17:31Okay, then.
00:17:36A long time ago, in the town of Nazareth, there lived a young woman named Mary.
00:17:43She was engaged to a carpenter named Joseph.
00:17:46I understand he didn't want to wear a costume, but did he really have to do it in the heart?
00:17:52And then one day, an angel called Gabriel came to Mary and said to her.
00:18:11Sorry, it was mine.
00:18:14I knew it was going to be his.
00:18:20Sir.
00:18:22Sir.
00:18:24It's someone calling from Antigua.
00:18:28It could be...
00:18:28Your brother.
00:18:32Listen, sorry everyone.
00:18:34I need to take this, yeah?
00:18:41Well, I think one of us shoot her.
00:18:44Don't worry, Miss Baudet.
00:18:46Officer Sebastian Rose to the rescue.
00:18:49Yes, me little king people.
00:18:51Far gone.
00:18:52Yes.
00:18:53Woo!
00:18:56So, a long, long time ago in the town of Nazareth, there lived a young woman, very nice woman.
00:19:03Her name was Mary.
00:19:04She was engaged to a carpenter near Joseph.
00:19:07Mervyn Wilson speaking.
00:19:08Mr. Wilson, it's Tyrese at Cariba Phone Network.
00:19:20I just noticed your contracts coming up in the new year, and I thought we could have a chat about upgrading your phone.
00:19:26Mr. Wilson, are you still there?
00:19:29Mr. Wilson, are you still there?
00:19:31Yeah, I'm here.
00:19:33Um, no, no upgrade, thanks.
00:19:35Are you sure about that, Cosby?
00:19:38Woman, you're still there.
00:19:39No, no, you're still there.
00:19:40The first Noel the angels did sing, was to certain born shepherds in fields as they
00:20:10humbly centuries.
00:20:11We are the two of them for work as they will sing.
00:20:22교 growling when it comes to making more saisir games.
00:20:35Hey, sir, you didn't come back.
00:20:50Just wanted to check how you're doing.
00:20:53Yeah, it wasn't Solomon on the phone.
00:20:55Anyway, I've been thinking.
00:20:58We really don't know anything about these people.
00:21:02You know, their lives in the UK.
00:21:05I was thinking we could use someone to do a bit of digging into our suspects back in their hometown.
00:21:10Right. You want me to get in touch with the Swindon police?
00:21:12No, no, no, I've already done that. They're flat out till New Year.
00:21:15But then I remembered we do have someone in the UK who maybe could give us a hand.
00:21:27Ah!
00:21:28You must be the policeman from the Caribbean.
00:21:31Commissioner Patterson, is it?
00:21:33Selwyn Patterson.
00:21:35I'm no longer a commissioner. I'm retired now.
00:21:38Right. Okay.
00:21:40So now you're just...
00:21:41Helping out. Somewhat reluctantly, if I'm honest with you.
00:21:46So, um, what has actually happened out there?
00:21:50The police were called to your colleague's Holiday Villa, where, I'm sorry to see, a man was found.
00:21:56Shot dead. Murdered.
00:21:57I'm keen to get on with things and get out of here as quickly as I can.
00:22:04Rightio.
00:22:04Hello. Well, I'll give you the guided tour.
00:22:07Uh, welcome to Dugdale's branded merchandise.
00:22:09Uh, so, uh, that desk over there is Helen. She's the managing director.
00:22:16Uh, this desk belongs to our graphic designer, Gavin, uh, accounts manager, Neil, and Karen, head of sales.
00:22:26And this one?
00:22:27Oh, oh, she's not here anymore. She left a couple of months ago.
00:22:30Who?
00:22:32Uh, Ashley. Ashley Sims, her name was.
00:22:35It was all somewhat clandestine, if you ask me, Mr. Patterson.
00:22:43She did what they call a midnight flit. Never came back.
00:22:48Are you sure you don't want a cup of tea? I'm going to make myself one.
00:22:52This drawer is locked.
00:22:54Oh, yes. It's been like that since Ashley left. She has the only key.
00:22:59I've been meaning to sort it.
00:23:21Commissioner.
00:23:22Commissioner. You do know what time it is over here, right?
00:23:24Half past three in the morning.
00:23:27But, as I've abandoned a good friend's wedding to travel to Swindon and help you out.
00:23:31Okay, fair do's.
00:23:33How can I help?
00:23:33The bullet you recovered from your victim.
00:23:36Have you had the ballistics report back on it yet?
00:23:38Yeah, it was a .45 caliber.
00:23:40Most likely fired from a pistol.
00:23:42And did you find the weapon?
00:23:44No.
00:23:45Why?
00:23:46Because I'm currently looking at a .45 caliber pistol in a desk drawer in Swindon.
00:23:56Well, it can't be the same one.
00:23:59Can it?
00:24:00Morning, sir.
00:24:18Morning, Inspector.
00:24:19This can't be right.
00:24:21It just can't be.
00:24:23What's going on?
00:24:23Commissioner found a gun locked in the desk drawer of an ex-employee called Ashley Sims in the Dugdale's offices back in the UK.
00:24:30What?
00:24:31Local forensic lab fast-tracked it and they say that is the gun that fired the bullet that killed Darren St. Jules.
00:24:37Look, security footage shows that no one touched that drawer since the shooting.
00:24:42Wait, so how was that gun used to shoot Darren St. Jules on this island if the same gun was locked in a drawer 5,000 miles away?
00:24:50I know, right?
00:24:51It makes no sense.
00:24:55We need to speak to Helen Dugdale.
00:24:56Helen, if you're in there, can you open the door, please?
00:25:11We need to speak with you about Ashley Sims.
00:25:19There's something you need to see.
00:25:23I guess I want to say sorry.
00:25:26I know it's not enough and it won't change how you feel about me, but I do mean it.
00:25:38I don't know why I keep doing this.
00:25:42Blow everything up.
00:25:46But, um, this is why I've come here.
00:25:52To get away.
00:25:56Try and understand why I hurt people the way that I do.
00:26:07She stole from me, from the company.
00:26:09How much?
00:26:10£500,000.
00:26:12Ouch.
00:26:14My husband, Keith.
00:26:16Dugdale's was his company until he passed away at the start of the year from a heart attack.
00:26:21I'm sorry to hear that.
00:26:22That's when I took over the reins.
00:26:26I really wanted to make it work.
00:26:28And it was around that time that we had a position to fill.
00:26:31And you gave the job to Miss Sims?
00:26:34I knew she had a past, that she'd been to prison, but Keith always believed in giving people a second chance and I wanted to honour that.
00:26:41But Miss Sims let you down.
00:26:43Even a year's passed and I've already lost half a million pounds.
00:26:46Did you report Ashley to the police?
00:26:49I was too embarrassed.
00:26:51So I hired someone to find out where she sent the email from.
00:26:55And that video she recorded, that was sent from this island?
00:26:59Yes.
00:26:59OK, so what does any of this have to do with Darian St. Jules?
00:27:05The man I hired discovered that Darian had rented a holiday let to Ashley.
00:27:09That's why I came here, to try and get my money back.
00:27:12I made sure our villa wasn't far from Darian's house, so it would be easy to go and visit him.
00:27:16So you were lying when you told us you didn't know Darian?
00:27:19Did you meet with him?
00:27:21Yes.
00:27:21A few days ago, he confirmed that Ashley had rented this little place he has down on the beach.
00:27:28That's her?
00:27:29So she was definitely here.
00:27:31She'd arrived a few months ago, at the start of October.
00:27:35He still had all the paperwork, but he said that she'd moved on a few days ago and he didn't know where.
00:27:41So what was Darian doing turning up at your villa in the early hours yesterday?
00:27:46I don't know.
00:27:48I really don't.
00:27:49How much do the others know about this?
00:27:51Nothing. They don't know anything. They think they're on a work's due.
00:27:54Not even your son?
00:27:55No, not even Neil.
00:27:56So then the only person who knew Darian and therefore wanted him killed was you?
00:28:01No. I swear I didn't.
00:28:03I can see how this looks.
00:28:07But I didn't shoot him.
00:28:09I don't...
00:28:10I need to take this.
00:28:17Commissioner, you got something?
00:28:19Inspector, I've searched Ashley Sims' flat and emailed you over some photographs.
00:28:25I'm afraid there is little of use to your investigation.
00:28:27I think she cleared out her flat before she flew to the Caribbean.
00:28:31Okay. Thanks anyway, sir.
00:28:33Now, if that is everything, I'm going to catch my train and enjoy the rest of my Christmas.
00:28:39Yeah. Um, you have a good one, sir.
00:28:41And you, Inspector. And you.
00:28:43Thank you for your help, Miss Gortz.
00:28:53Oh, I didn't do anything, really.
00:28:56And you're nothing if not efficient.
00:29:00So, what are your plans for Christmas?
00:29:03I'm spending it with my daughter and her partner.
00:29:07They've rented a cottage up in the, um, Yorkshire Dales.
00:29:11Oh, it's lovely up there.
00:29:12So, I'm told. I'd better...
00:29:14I'm flying solo this Christmas.
00:29:17I mean, that's how it's been since Mum passed.
00:29:20Just me, myself and I.
00:29:21Sorry. I really...
00:29:23Oh, no. No, no. I rather enjoy it, actually.
00:29:26You know, there's no family arguments.
00:29:28I can eat what I like, watch what I want on the telly.
00:29:31OK. Christmas alone is underrated, I say.
00:29:35Indeed.
00:29:36No, I really don't want to miss my train.
00:29:43Goodbye, Mr. Patterson.
00:29:45Goodbye.
00:29:47And Merry Christmas.
00:29:49And a very Merry Christmas to you.
00:29:51Four passengers on platform.
00:29:57One, awaiting the three-fifteen-two-leaves.
00:30:01Please be aware that due to frost on the line,
00:30:05this train is now delayed.
00:30:06Please wait for further announcements.
00:30:08So, immigration confirmed Ashley Sims arrived on the island two months ago.
00:30:31But they have no record of her ever leaving.
00:30:34So, in theory, she's still here.
00:30:36Mm-mm.
00:30:40OK, Officer Rose.
00:30:41I want you to check the harbours,
00:30:42see if anyone matching Ashley's description
00:30:44was taken to one of the other islands in the last few days.
00:30:46Ashley Harbour, last few days. Got you.
00:30:48Check the hotels, holiday rentals, guest houses on the island.
00:30:51Hotels, rentals, guest houses. Got you.
00:30:53You need to do whatever it takes to find it. Do you understand?
00:30:56Cool. Totally getting you right now, Inspector.
00:30:59I guess that means you're working Christmas Day, then.
00:31:01Obviously.
00:31:02It's a murder investigation.
00:31:04And we need to find out who did it.
00:31:05Right. Only, that'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
00:31:13and everybody else is busy, so it's cool.
00:31:16There you go. Sorted.
00:31:20Thanks, Seb.
00:31:21No worries. See you in a bit.
00:31:25I'll let my parents know I won't be flying home this evening.
00:31:29Appreciate it.
00:31:30Ashley Sims aside,
00:31:32we still don't have a scooby how the killer made the gun they shot Darian with
00:31:35disappear from that villa,
00:31:37then reappear in a locked desk drawer back in the UK.
00:31:40And that, Blitzen, what's that about?
00:31:46Unless it has nothing to do with Darian's murder, sir,
00:31:49and it is just a co...
00:31:51You don't believe in coincidences.
00:31:54I mean, in what circumstance does someone write the name of one of Sansa's reindeer
00:31:58on the palm of their hand?
00:31:59Are you doing all right, sir?
00:32:05After last night?
00:32:07Look, if Solomon doesn't want to get in touch, I'm cool with that.
00:32:11Well...
00:32:11D.S. Thomas,
00:32:13I'd rather we didn't talk about it anymore.
00:32:15All right?
00:32:16I'm at Swindon East.
00:32:33And?
00:32:33Your tannoy keeps announcing there is a rail replacement service to Leeds,
00:32:39but it hasn't turned up.
00:32:41Yeah, it got cancelled.
00:32:44I'm sorry?
00:32:45The service replacing the service that got cancelled also got cancelled?
00:32:51Yeah, that's about the sum of it.
00:32:53Double trades until Boxing Day.
00:32:55So, what do you suggest I do?
00:32:59You know, mate.
00:33:00Have a merry one, yeah.
00:33:02See ya.
00:33:05And a merry Christmas to you, too.
00:33:15I'm sorry, mate, but it's Christmas Eve and none of my drivers are going to want to go outside of Swindon.
00:33:22You tried to hire a car company?
00:33:23Yes, but nothing is available in the area until the 27th.
00:33:29You've had no rooms available at all.
00:33:37We're fully booked.
00:33:40Everywhere will be this time of year.
00:33:41So, maybe you could try the Salvation Army?
00:33:51This is Andrina.
00:33:53Leave me a message when you hear the beep.
00:33:55It's me.
00:33:57I'm still in Swindon.
00:33:59There's no transport, no hotels.
00:34:02And there's no one here who seems able to help me.
00:34:06And I don't know what to do.
00:34:09Mr. Patterson.
00:34:18I think you'd better come with me.
00:34:21Oh.
00:34:25How did you know I would still be here?
00:34:28Had the local radio on.
00:34:29Said all trains cancelled.
00:34:32And we've got to look after each other at Christmas, haven't we?
00:34:34Thank you, Miss Dawgs.
00:34:40It must be crazy.
00:34:42Yes.
00:34:42After you.
00:34:58Good morning to you all.
00:35:00It's six o'clock on this beautiful Christmas day morning here on San Marie.
00:35:04And there's a surprise guest with me here in the studio.
00:35:07I've got a young officer, Sebastian Rose, from the San Marie Police, talking with me right now.
00:35:13Yes.
00:35:13It is me, Officer Sebastian Rose, from Honorary Police Station.
00:35:17Merry Christmas, everybody.
00:35:19He and his colleagues want your help looking for a young woman called Ashley Sims.
00:35:23Am I right?
00:35:24That is it.
00:35:25You are totally right, Alphonse.
00:35:27If anybody has heard anything, or seen anything,
00:35:29coming to you after me, girl?
00:35:31Well, what I would say, Jacinta,
00:35:33is even if it was just a glimpse,
00:35:36one of your viewers had a woman,
00:35:37they should still get in touch.
00:35:40Awesome.
00:35:41Oh, and also,
00:35:42the people can check out the video I made
00:35:44on our social media page,
00:35:46at SM Police.
00:35:47Ashley Sims, have you seen her?
00:35:50If you see her call, it's no more.
00:35:52Ashley Sims, have you seen her?
00:35:55If you see her call, it's no more.
00:35:57Ashley Sims, have you seen her?
00:35:59If you see her call...
00:36:01Commissioner, morning. This is a surprise.
00:36:18Inspector, have you seen that video Officer Rose has put on social media? It's deeply inappropriate.
00:36:26Would you like another sherry, Selwyn?
00:36:29No. Thank you.
00:36:34Is that the receptionist? Marjorie Dolph. I'm spending Christmas Day with her.
00:36:41Well, I'm glad you two hit it off. Good for you, sir.
00:36:44It's not like that, Inspector. I got stock in Swindon. There were no trains to Leeds.
00:36:49OK. Look, just take that video down.
00:36:52No disrespect, sir, but it's not really your problem anymore, is it?
00:36:57You must sort it, Inspector.
00:37:08Yeah, I've got his bank statement in front of me.
00:37:10That's great. Could you email it over?
00:37:12I'll do that right away. Cheers.
00:37:25Literally every train.
00:37:27If you see her, call this number.
00:37:29Asterisks, have you seen us?
00:37:31If you see her, call this number.
00:37:37All right! I'm coming!
00:37:39I've got a lead. A possible suspect for Darien St. Julesy's murder. I need to go and talk with them now.
00:37:48Merry Christmas, sir.
00:37:52Oh, um...
00:37:55Merry Christmas.
00:37:56I'll be right with you.
00:37:58Our financial checks show that two days ago, you wired £100,000 from this island to your bank account back in England.
00:38:17No, he didn't.
00:38:24What?
00:38:26You want to tell us where you got that money from?
00:38:29What did you do, Liam?
00:38:30Yes, Neil. What did you do?
00:38:33I followed you.
00:38:35Why?
00:38:36You were acting so weird.
00:38:38A few days ago, when you went off by yourself.
00:38:41I knew that it had to be about the money that Ashley had taken.
00:38:44I'm sorry.
00:38:45I couldn't understand why you didn't tell me.
00:38:47And I know you were just trying to protect me, Mum.
00:38:49I was worried about you.
00:38:51I was just trying to help.
00:38:54So I waited until the guy, Darien, had left.
00:38:58Door was unlocked, so I let myself in.
00:39:01There wasn't anything I could find until I found an old biscuit tin.
00:39:04Full of money.
00:39:06And what did you think?
00:39:08When he opened the sensor, £100,000 in cash inside.
00:39:12Well, I still think that it was money that belonged to the company.
00:39:15I mean, why else would this local fisherman have that much money in sterling in his house?
00:39:20And that's why you took it?
00:39:21Because it was money that Ashley had stolen from us.
00:39:24From Mum.
00:39:27And I don't want to see her lose everything.
00:39:31Well, she'd already lost my dad.
00:39:32Sweet.
00:39:35All right.
00:39:39Okay.
00:39:41So, fast forward to the morning you're due to leave the island, yeah?
00:39:46And our victim turns up at 5.30.
00:39:49We've been trying to work out why he went there that morning.
00:39:52But what if he realised that you stole from him and came to confront you about it?
00:39:57No.
00:39:59On my life, I didn't even see him that morning.
00:40:02This aftershave.
00:40:03It's yours, right?
00:40:05Rivage Mystique.
00:40:06Yeah?
00:40:07Why?
00:40:08This is the exact same aftershave Darien was wearing.
00:40:11The morning of the murder.
00:40:13Right?
00:40:15You're not suggesting that this is evidence I shot him.
00:40:17Why would I kill someone and then spray him with my own aftershave?
00:40:22Achoo!
00:40:26Darien definitely smelt of this when we found him.
00:40:29But why?
00:40:31What if there was another smell the killer was trying to hide?
00:40:36You know, a bit like a bin man.
00:40:39Yeah, but...
00:40:40What?
00:40:43Neil's right.
00:40:44It's not enough.
00:40:46It's not Christmas this is.
00:40:48Oh.
00:40:49Come here.
00:40:50Give your mum a hug.
00:40:52Oh, hi, I'm sorry.
00:40:53Marjorie.
00:40:57Oh.
00:40:58No.
00:40:59Not now, Marjorie.
00:41:01Hi.
00:41:02This is Helen Dugdale's phone.
00:41:03Please leave a message after the tone.
00:41:04I'll call you back.
00:41:06Hello, Helen.
00:41:07It's Marjorie.
00:41:08I'm booming to wish you a Merry Christmas.
00:41:11We're about to have our lunch and I just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you.
00:41:15Hope everything sorts itself out soon.
00:41:24Dinner is served.
00:41:32This looks wonderful.
00:41:39Here's to a Merry Christmas.
00:41:43Merry Christmas.
00:41:49Right then.
00:41:51Tuck in.
00:41:54I would like to offer you an apology, Miss Dodds.
00:41:59Oh, Marjorie, please.
00:42:01There's really no need for an apology.
00:42:03Oh, there is.
00:42:05You've been nothing but gracious and welcoming for the last couple of days.
00:42:10While I...
00:42:12I've been nothing but, um...
00:42:14Routy.
00:42:16No, no, I wouldn't go that far.
00:42:19Though...
00:42:21I did sense you weren't very happy.
00:42:24Is it to do with your old job?
00:42:27What makes you ask that?
00:42:29I don't know. It's just...
00:42:31When we first met, the way you said you were retired, it was like you weren't entirely comfortable with it.
00:42:38My superiors back on Saint Marie, they tried to get rid of me after 50 years of doing a job I loved.
00:42:48In the end, I... I just walked away.
00:42:53I know what it's like.
00:42:56I'm just silly old Marjorie on reception.
00:43:00Don't even get invited to the Christmas party they're having out there.
00:43:04I'm sorry.
00:43:05And I've always wanted to go to the Caribbean.
00:43:16Look at us.
00:43:18Moving like this on Christmas Day.
00:43:21When you cook this feast for us, we should be enjoying ourselves.
00:43:26Here.
00:43:28Will you do me the pleasure?
00:43:30Well, if you insist.
00:43:32Oh!
00:43:34I won!
00:43:35I won!
00:43:37Oh!
00:43:38Where's it gone?
00:43:39Where's it gone?
00:43:41Oh!
00:43:43Here it is.
00:43:45It's a tiny little sewing pit.
00:43:51All right.
00:43:53Let me check with the inspector.
00:43:55Okay, speak to you soon.
00:43:56All right.
00:43:58Hey!
00:43:59Merry Christmas, guys.
00:44:01Merry Christmas, Seth.
00:44:03Here, ditto.
00:44:05Now, where are we at with the search for Ashley Sims?
00:44:08So, um...
00:44:09B&Bs, hotels, guest horses, nobody's heard from her.
00:44:13And no one's called in with her sighting either.
00:44:15It's like she's vanished into thin air.
00:44:17Oh, and Katherine just called.
00:44:19She said she can still squeeze us in for her Christmas Day lunch,
00:44:21but it's her last sitting, so we have to go now.
00:44:24Are we still asking ourselves, how was Darian shot with a bullet,
00:44:27fired from a gun, locked in a drawer in Swindon at the time that it happened?
00:44:32And what has Blitzen got to do with all of this?
00:44:37Are you coming, sir?
00:44:39Well, yeah, you guys go, I'll just keep working.
00:44:42Are you sure, sir?
00:44:44Wait a minute.
00:44:46What are these?
00:44:48Oh!
00:44:50Those are the invices, sir, you know?
00:44:52For the stuff I organized to help find Ashley Sims.
00:44:54You have, um, posters, adverts for TV and radio, and, uh...
00:44:58There's over a thousand dollars that we owe.
00:44:59We can't afford this.
00:45:00Well, um...
00:45:01But how big do you think our budget was?
00:45:02It's only because you said whatever it takes.
00:45:05Yeah, but not this much.
00:45:07I mean, what were you thinking?
00:45:08Uh, alright, let's...
00:45:10Let's calm it.
00:45:14Seb, why don't you head over to Catherine's and I'll catch up with you.
00:45:23With respect, he's just doing his best to help.
00:45:27And he's given up his Christmas to do it, sir.
00:45:33Look, I know the case is frustrating and you've got other things on your mind.
00:45:37What other things?
00:45:39Well...
00:45:40Your brother not calling.
00:45:41What?
00:45:42That's not bothering me.
00:45:44It isn't.
00:45:46It isn't?
00:45:47No, it isn't!
00:45:48Yes, it is!
00:45:49Of course it is!
00:45:50And I really wish you'd just admit that rather than pretending like you don't care when you so clearly care!
00:45:57Just don't take it out on the rest of us.
00:45:58Just don't take it out on the rest of us.
00:46:27Let's go!
00:46:28Let's go!
00:46:29Let's go!
00:46:30Let's go!
00:46:31Joyeux Noël, Camille.
00:46:32And to little Chloe.
00:46:33Her grandmother is missing her today.
00:46:34Has she opened a present yet?
00:46:35No, not yet.
00:46:36Ah, one moment, Camille.
00:46:37Yes, okay.
00:46:38We'll see you.
00:46:39No Merville?
00:46:40No Merville?
00:46:41No Merville?
00:46:42No Merville?
00:46:46No Merville?
00:46:47No Merville?
00:47:02No Merville?
00:47:03No Merville?
00:47:04No Merville?
00:47:06Oh, my God.
00:47:36Oh, my God.
00:48:06Inspector, everything all right?
00:48:10I'm feeling bad, sir, about messing up your Christmas.
00:48:13I'm sorry you couldn't get to spend it with your daughter.
00:48:15It's not your fault.
00:48:16If anyone's to blame, it's the British Transport System,
00:48:19which I am told is not uncommon.
00:48:23I mean, I'd like to say you get used to it by be lying.
00:48:25I mean, just a minute.
00:48:42Is that the sea?
00:48:44I can hear.
00:48:45Yeah.
00:48:46I'm at the shack.
00:48:47It's beautiful out here.
00:48:49It's a really clear night.
00:48:51But then all nights are like that here, aren't they?
00:48:53The moon here is a little more grey than I remember it in St. Marie.
00:48:58I'm just wondering if I made a mistake staying on in St. Marie.
00:49:11Why?
00:49:12Because I know I'm not good when I put myself on the line.
00:49:16I feel like I'm just hanging around, waiting.
00:49:20Your brother?
00:49:21Yeah.
00:49:23Yeah.
00:49:27I don't think he wants to get in touch.
00:49:33I'm sorry, it's not really your problem anymore, is it?
00:49:35Where are I stay or go?
00:49:37It still feels like it is.
00:49:44Inspector.
00:49:44If you are not sure what to do,
00:49:47the only advice I can offer is that
00:49:49you put your trust in that island.
00:49:53I did for most of my life.
00:49:57And in return,
00:50:00it delivered me true happiness.
00:50:06If St. Marie won't bring your brother to you,
00:50:10then perhaps
00:50:12it will bring you
00:50:14someone
00:50:16or something else.
00:50:19be patient.
00:50:23Yeah, well,
00:50:25you know patience isn't my forte, right?
00:50:27I know.
00:50:29But what am I supposed to do in the meantime?
00:50:31Might I suggest
00:50:33you focus on solving that case?
00:50:36Yes, you have.
00:50:36You're missed here, you know.
00:50:41Good night, Inspector.
00:50:48I don't know.
00:51:18Blitzen. Why Blitzen?
00:51:23Officer Rose. Inspector.
00:51:27What's up? I wanted to come and say I'm sorry for spending all that money you don't have
00:51:33in your budget. So, I wanted to pay it back. There's $322.86 in there, which I took from
00:51:46my savings. I mean, it's all my savings, but that's cool. And if you deduct $20 for my
00:51:52wages each month, you should be paid back in about two years, I reckon.
00:51:59Officer Rose. You've got a good heart. Anyone ever tell you that? Well, my auntie. Like, all
00:52:08the time, you know? Take this. You don't have to pay anything back. We'll find it in the
00:52:18budget. And there's no need to apologise, alright? In fact, I should apologise for blazing at you
00:52:25like that. What you did was, erm, was really good work. Anyway, come on. I've got a new
00:52:34lead. Let's go and wake D.S. Thomas up. He can't keep doing this. Happy Boxing Day, D.S. Thomas.
00:52:49Listen, erm, I want to apologise for losing it and ruining Christmas. I'll make it up to you. I promise.
00:53:00And you were right about me taking it out on you because of Solomon.
00:53:09I 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 going to make a big breakthrough in the case, which is a big relief.
00:53:26Because I was drawing a blank. You have tea?
00:53:32So I've been going through Darien St. George's phone records, and he phoned someone the day
00:53:36before he was murdered. A friend of his called Trishawn King. Now, he was over on Montserrat
00:53:42for Christmas. So I asked Darlene to speak with him. Darlene? Last night? Yeah.
00:53:48And how was she with that? Er, you know, she was, she was cool with it.
00:53:53Inspector, it's Christmas Day. What in God's name do you think you're doing?
00:54:03Anyway, it turned out Darien feared for his life and was asking Trishawn where he can get hold of a gun
00:54:09for protection. He thought someone was going to kill him. Did he say who?
00:54:14Hmm. But he did say he was caught up in something he shouldn't have. And get this,
00:54:19he thought the woman he was trying to help had been murdered.
00:54:22Now I'm caught up in it all. And now he was worried that he was going to suffer the same fate.
00:54:27Whoa, wait. Darien told Trishawn he thought Ashley Sims was murdered?
00:54:32But it would explain why no one's seen her the last few days.
00:54:35So then if this is true, that means that whoever killed Ashley Sims probably also murdered Darien
00:54:42St. Jude's. To silence him. So what we need to start looking for now is anyone who had a reason
00:54:48to kill Ashley Sims. But both Helen and Neil Dugdale to start with,
00:54:51Ashley stole half a million pounds from their company.
00:54:55And there's someone else as well.
00:55:04We've been looking at your phone records. And these, Miss Hickson, are text messages from you to Ashley
00:55:10Sims just before she came out here.
00:55:11You'll regret ever meeting me. Stay away from my boyfriend or else I'm not afraid to hurt you.
00:55:18The list goes on.
00:55:22Care to explain?
00:55:25They had a thing, right? Gavin and Ashley had a thing behind my back. Or sort of.
00:55:32Sort of?
00:55:35Yeah, like it wasn't like a real thing. Like they never really got together. But he liked her.
00:55:41Yeah. God knows why. She was weird.
00:55:45I think Gav liked that about her. And he called things off between us.
00:55:53And that's when I started warning her off. Guess I just got a bit carried away.
00:55:57I just... I just didn't want to lose him.
00:56:02And you didn't. Now that Ashley's conveniently disappeared, you've got Gavin to yourself now,
00:56:07haven't you? What? Is that what you think? That I killed her?
00:56:11Look, I wouldn't. I didn't.
00:56:18It'll be about Gavin. We need to tell her what we know.
00:56:23But Ashley called things off with Gav. Why would I kill her?
00:56:26Inspector. You need to hear the truth.
00:56:30What?
00:56:31And I'm afraid you're not going to get that from her. No disrespect, Karen.
00:56:35Neil, come on, man.
00:56:36What are you saying?
00:56:38Whatever she's told you, it's ten times worse.
00:56:41Neil, what are you saying?
00:56:42Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You've had your chance. Go on.
00:56:46He had a thing for Ashley.
00:56:48Is that it? We already know.
00:56:50No, it was more than that. Gavin was obsessed.
00:56:53When Ashley said they couldn't see each other anymore, he had to take time off work.
00:56:56And I've seen the posters you've been putting up. If Ashley's gone missing, then I'm telling you,
00:57:01it'll have something to do with Gavin.
00:57:03Inspector.
00:57:04Huh.
00:57:09Someone's just broken into the villa where Darion was shot.
00:57:34Mr. Bradbury, this doesn't look good at all, but then I don't think you need me to tell you that.
00:58:02You want to start by telling us what we're going to find in that pool you've just emptied?
00:58:10And we know it's not the gun used to kill Darion St. Jules because that's currently sitting in a
00:58:14police station somewhere in Swindon. So what's down there? Why have you come back to the crime scene,
00:58:18Gavin? What's so important?
00:58:19Inspector. Found something.
00:58:24What is it?
00:58:25A bullet. One that's been fired.
00:58:27Why is there a bullet in the pool, Gav?
00:58:36It's like a keepsake.
00:58:40Something to remember Ashley by.
00:58:46A bullet?
00:58:46There are other things that I've got of hers as well, like, more like normal things.
00:58:53I'm really not interested in those, funny enough.
00:58:57Ashley, she's not like anyone I've ever met before.
00:59:01Like, it was exciting being around her and her life was so different to mine.
00:59:07Yeah, I hear that. The bullet?
00:59:08Yeah.
00:59:11She has a gun.
00:59:13She was looking after it as a favour for someone that she knew from prison.
00:59:17And she, well, we went out to the woods one day and she let me fire it.
00:59:23It was amazing, right?
00:59:26You know, like, exhilarating.
00:59:27And I went and got one of the bullets.
00:59:29You know, I said that I would keep it with me to remind me of her.
00:59:32And they say romance is dead.
00:59:36So, why did it end up in the pool?
00:59:39I panicked.
00:59:41When there was that dead guy and Neil called the police,
00:59:45I was worried that if you found it, you'd think it was me that shot him.
00:59:48So, I took it out and I was wondering what to do and...
00:59:53I dropped it.
00:59:55It fell in the pool.
00:59:57And the more you were sniffing around, the more I started to worry that you'd find it.
01:00:00So, I came back and I...
01:00:05So, you loved Ashley then?
01:00:08Yeah, I guess, yeah.
01:00:11Must have really hurt when she ended things.
01:00:15Gavin, we believe Ashley Simms was murdered on this island in the last few days.
01:00:21What? No. What? If she can't be?
01:00:23I'm kind of wondering if maybe you did it.
01:00:25Me?
01:00:26Why would I kill Ashley?
01:00:29Because you couldn't have her. And it hurt like hell.
01:00:32No, no, no, no. You've got this wrong. I didn't kill her.
01:00:34Like all that man.
01:00:38You seem a bit edgy, Gavin.
01:00:40Is there something you aren't telling us?
01:00:42There's nothing.
01:00:43There's nothing.
01:00:45Really, there is nothing.
01:00:53Paradise Court Hotel, please.
01:01:01What is it that he's not saying?
01:01:02Hey, this is Ashley's phone. You know what to do.
01:01:12Ashley, it's me.
01:01:14We need to talk. I'm worried about you.
01:01:16The police have been asking questions and I think they know about us, so...
01:01:20Just let me know what you want me to do, yeah?
01:01:23Please call me back.
01:01:25I love you.
01:01:32You all right, sir? You seem a bit tense.
01:01:42I just can't work this one out.
01:01:44I mean, we've got one potential murder victim whose body we haven't found.
01:01:49Another murder victim whose body we have found, but that murder weapon was locked in a desk drawer
01:01:54on the other side of the world when that murder took place.
01:01:56I mean, where do we even start?
01:01:58Well, sounds like you need to go get a little shoulder rub, you know?
01:02:01Release some of that tension.
01:02:04No, you all right, Officer Rose.
01:02:09This guy again.
01:02:11Listen, mate, I told you before, I'm not interested in upgrading to another phone.
01:02:15So stop calling me, yeah?
01:02:17Is that Mervyn Wilson?
01:02:19Yeah, it's still Mervyn Wilson and I'm still not interested.
01:02:22It's me, Salomon, your brother.
01:02:28Are you there, Mervyn?
01:02:35Mervyn?
01:02:37Yes.
01:02:39Yes, he's here.
01:02:40Don't hang up.
01:02:53Salomon, it's Mervyn.
01:02:56Yeah, you should always know that.
01:02:59Um, look, mate, I'm sorry.
01:03:02I just wasn't expecting your call.
01:03:03Yeah, I know.
01:03:05I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get in touch, but it was, you know?
01:03:10No, no, no, mate, I totally understand, yeah?
01:03:14I mean, it's a process, right?
01:03:16But, um, hey, you're calling now, aren't you?
01:03:20Yeah, man, it's a process, but I'm glad to be calling now.
01:03:28Are you still there?
01:03:31Mervyn?
01:03:31Yeah, yeah, I'm still here.
01:03:37Look, um, Salomon, I'm really, really sorry to do this to you, and I am so glad you called
01:03:44and that we're finally speaking.
01:03:46And I really, really want us to talk again, but right now, there's something I need to do, yeah?
01:03:54Yeah, man, no problem, go talk soon.
01:03:58That was quick.
01:03:59Officer Rose, that billboard, you did that, right?
01:04:02Yes, sir, I did.
01:04:05But you should already have the invites for that.
01:04:07It's not going to cost any extra.
01:04:08No, no, no, I don't care about the cost.
01:04:10It was worth every penny.
01:04:11Come, come, look.
01:04:12You see, all along, we've been looking at Ashley's footage on phone screens and laptops, yeah?
01:04:24Well, they were too small.
01:04:27I don't understand.
01:04:29You see where Ashley is?
01:04:30This is a still from the video she made.
01:04:32And in the background, there's a ship passing by.
01:04:36Now, before, that was just a speck, but now you've blown it up.
01:04:39Look at it.
01:04:42What about the ship?
01:04:43Look at what it's called.
01:04:47Blitzen.
01:04:48Blitzen!
01:04:50Yeah?
01:04:51Now we know.
01:04:53Oh, Officer Rose, if you were so tall, I'd kiss you.
01:04:57Why would Darian write the name of that ship on his hands?
01:05:00Well, he obviously saw the footage himself, and then, um, he saw something in it.
01:05:06But what?
01:05:12Blitzen.
01:05:13It's like she's vanished into thin air.
01:05:15It's why I've come here.
01:05:16I thought I was helping someone.
01:05:19You know what?
01:05:20I think I'm starting to work out what went down here.
01:05:24But I need to make a phone call.
01:05:27And you need to get onto airport security.
01:05:29Come on.
01:05:29All right, mate.
01:05:33Much appreciated.
01:05:34Cheers.
01:05:36Wow.
01:05:38What's wow?
01:05:41So, that ship behind Ashley Sims, it's owned by a Scandinavian container shipping company.
01:05:47Now, we know from the information on that footage, Ashley recorded it on the 4th of October, right?
01:05:52Right.
01:05:53Well, check this.
01:05:55The Blitzen was passing by the south coast of England on the 4th of October.
01:05:59Thousands of miles from the Caribbean.
01:06:01So, Ashley recorded that video on a beach back in the UK?
01:06:05Which means she was never even here.
01:06:08Inspector, the airport just emailed over security camera footage the day Ashley Sims arrived on the island.
01:06:14Oh, wait. She was here?
01:06:19Thank you for a wonderful Christmas, Marjorie.
01:06:22Oh, it's been lovely.
01:06:23Let me give you a hand with that.
01:06:25Oh, don't be daft. You don't know where anything goes.
01:06:27Then you can tell me. It's the least I can do.
01:06:32Living room. Sideboard draw.
01:06:33Living room. Sideboard draw.
01:06:37Living room. Sideboard draw.
01:06:40But if Ashley Sims has never been here before,
01:06:42why do immigration records show that she has?
01:06:45Because someone else came pretending to be Ashley.
01:06:48Presumably on a fake passport.
01:06:50And that someone paid Darian 100k to lie and say Ashley rented his property for the past few months.
01:06:55But why would they do that?
01:06:56To misdirect and confuse anyone looking for her.
01:06:59Because they'd already killed Ashley and taken the money.
01:07:03So one of our four suspects has been here three months previously?
01:07:06Which is why we're going through this footage,
01:07:08because it will show who was pretending to be Ashley Sims.
01:07:10There.
01:07:13Why didn't I see that before?
01:07:15It's why I've come here.
01:07:17To try and understand why I hurt people.
01:07:20No, it was more than that.
01:07:21Gavin was obsessed.
01:07:23Of course.
01:07:23After that, nobody is seen leaving or arriving.
01:07:26So it's got to be one of these four who shot Darian and St. Jules.
01:07:31You were in the hammock when whatever happened, happened.
01:07:34You didn't hear the gunshot?
01:07:35It's like Helen said, you know, the room out here, it's stronger than you used to.
01:07:38What if there was another smell the killer was trying to hide?
01:07:42It makes perfect sense now.
01:07:44For definite, there's no gun at the villa.
01:07:46The commissioner found the gun locked in the desk drawer at Dugdale's offices back in the UK.
01:07:51We need to call the commissioner.
01:07:53The commissioner? Why?
01:07:54Because he's with the killer as we speak.
01:08:10Come on, sir, pick up.
01:08:15And what about these ones?
01:08:17Same drawer.
01:08:25I've always wanted to go to the Caribbean.
01:08:28I said the same drawer.
01:08:46No.
01:08:48That necklace, the stone is Lithma, unique to St. Marie.
01:09:00You told me you always wanted to go to the Caribbean like you've never been.
01:09:05You were lying.
01:09:11No, no, Selwyn.
01:09:13It was you that went to St. Marie three months ago.
01:09:18If Ashley never went then, is she dead?
01:09:21Oh, I'm sorry.
01:09:23Oh, I'm sorry.
01:09:24I didn't mean to.
01:09:26It just happened.
01:09:28Miss Goins.
01:09:32I think you should put the knife down, no.
01:09:42Please.
01:09:42That video she made, it wasn't in the Caribbean, was it?
01:09:57Bournemouth.
01:10:00On a Sunday, she'd come to the seaside.
01:10:04She realized she'd made a mistake stealing that money, didn't she?
01:10:09Then she wanted to give the money back and send the video as an apology.
01:10:15I want to say sorry.
01:10:16I don't know why I keep doing this.
01:10:18Miss Simms didn't leave the country.
01:10:23I'd gone in to the office that day to deal with an order that had gone wrong.
01:10:28It wasn't my fault, but I was the one who had to go in and fix it.
01:10:33And then when I let myself in, I 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.
01:10:45I knew it was you and I went to call the police.
01:10:49Wait, I'm giving the money back, Marjorie.
01:10:52Don't.
01:10:53Please.
01:10:55I'm calling the police now.
01:10:57Don't do this to me.
01:10:58You're not.
01:10:59And Ashley tried to stop me.
01:11:01I won't let you, Marjorie.
01:11:02Get off me.
01:11:04Pushed her off me and...
01:11:08And I wasn't even supposed to be in that day.
01:11:22But it's like I told you, nobody, nobody cares for me there.
01:11:29They just take me for granted and...
01:11:31You sold the money and thought, finally, you could take something back for yourself.
01:11:41All you had to do was dispose of the body.
01:11:44And then you made a fake passport in Ashley's name.
01:11:51Oh, that wasn't hard, you know, with all the kit we've got in the office.
01:12:07You flew on that passport to St. Marie to make it look as if Miss Sims had run away to the other side of the world and rented her property there for the last few months.
01:12:22You know, I really did want to go to the Caribbean.
01:12:26It's just that I never had the chance or the money until...
01:12:33And if you were going to misdirect from what really happened here in Swindon, where the dead body was,
01:12:42then the farther away, the better.
01:12:45Until things started to go wrong.
01:12:57And you received a phone call.
01:12:58You're saying Marjorie killed Ashley Sims?
01:13:09Our receptionist, that Marjorie?
01:13:11That Marjorie.
01:13:12Yes, Marjorie Dodds, the receptionist, killed Ashley Sims in England and made it look as if she ran away to the Caribbean with your 500k.
01:13:20Oh, my. I did not see that coming.
01:13:23So which one of us shot the man found in our swimming pool?
01:13:26It wasn't any of you.
01:13:29But it had to be. You said so. No one else was here.
01:13:32Yeah, you're right. I did say that.
01:13:34But what I didn't know then was that Darien St. Jules wasn't shot at your villa.
01:13:40It just looked like he was.
01:13:41That's why no gunshot was heard, because there wasn't one. He'd already been shot.
01:13:47We know now from our colleague in the UK that Marjorie had paid Darien money.
01:13:57She came to the island three months ago on a forged passport and she gave him £100,000
01:14:01to lie and cover if anyone ever came to the island asking after Ashley.
01:14:07She'd convinced him he was doing a favour for a very vulnerable friend of hers.
01:14:13But when you visited him a few days ago, Mrs. Dogdale, asking questions,
01:14:17mentioning the missing 500k, Darien started to wonder what he'd gotten himself involved in.
01:14:23And when he rewatched that footage more closely, the footage of Ashley you'd shown him as an
01:14:28experienced fisherman who knew the waters of St. Marie very well, something about it bothered him.
01:14:34Zooming in, he was able to read the name of the boat Blitzen. He knew this was not a St. Marie vessel.
01:14:39He worked out that the video of Ashley was actually shot in the UK. And having heard from you, Mrs. Dogdale,
01:14:50that Ashley went missing with £500,000 of your money, Darien started to realise that Ashley
01:14:56had never been to the island. He'd only ever met Marjorie. So he phoned Ms. Dodds asking what was going on.
01:15:02We need to talk. Listen, Darien, you've got this all wrong.
01:15:13All throughout this case, we thought Darien's killer had to be one of you four. The one person
01:15:20we never suspected was Marjorie Dodds. It was all the way back in Swindon. Or so we thought.
01:15:25With Darien threatening to go to the police, Marjorie asked him to hang fire and she would
01:15:32fly out here and speak to him in person. Marjorie was here? On this island? At the exact same time
01:15:37we were? Yeah. She arrived the night before Darien was shot and flew back to the UK the next morning.
01:15:43Unable to convince Darien to keep quiet and carry on with the lie, Marjorie started to grow desperate,
01:15:50worried he'd tell the police. I can give you more money. How much? Just tell me and I'll give it to you.
01:15:55We know Darien was searching around for a gun, for self-protection. I just want you to leave.
01:16:04Now! He never expected Marjorie would use it against him.
01:16:09After shooting Darien, Marjorie left and headed for the airport. Before getting back on the plane,
01:16:26arriving at Dugdale's offices just in time to meet with our very own Commissioner Patterson.
01:16:30Well, if Marjorie shot Darien at his house, how did he end up at our villa? Marjorie thought she'd killed him.
01:16:38But what she didn't know when she left Darien's place was that he was still alive.
01:16:46It was the fact that he smelled so strongly of someone else's aftershave that helped us work it out.
01:16:51Neil's aftershave, in fact. We thought it was there to cover up another smell that we now know was
01:16:57antiseptic. The stuff used to clean up a wound. Because as soon as Marjorie quit the scene,
01:17:04Darien regained consciousness and patched himself up. As far as he was concerned,
01:17:09the bullet was just lodged in his shoulder. It wasn't life-threatening. So he put on a fresh t-shirt
01:17:15and headed off for the hospital to get it properly seen to. But on the way, it passed your villa, which was
01:17:21just half a mile down the road. And I think Darien intended to alert you to what had gone down.
01:17:27He stopped here to tell you the truth about Ashley and to warn you about what Marjorie had done.
01:17:32That's why he came here that morning. To tell you what your colleague had done to Ashley and in turn
01:17:39to him. To make sure it didn't happen to anyone else. But what Darien didn't know was that his wound was
01:17:46worse than he thought. And he was bleeding internally. And so despite his brave effort
01:17:52to alert you all to the truth, he died here in your villa. But then someone proceeded to stage the scene
01:18:03as if he was shot in this villa. Didn't you, Mr. Bradbury?
01:18:08Me? What? No, of course not. No. And you did it because Ashley told you to.
01:18:17You're crazy. Ashley, I don't know what you're talking about. Let me have your phone.
01:18:27Gavin, please. It's okay. Unlock it.
01:18:38Bingo. Text messages seemingly from Ashley Sims from the moment she disappeared right up to today.
01:18:55But all of these were sent by Marjorie Dodds.
01:19:01Who kept Ashley's phone after she killed her.
01:19:02What? No. You know, you're wrong. She can't be- You've been texting her?
01:19:05No. This whole time?
01:19:07Karen, I'm sorry. Look, look. No, Karen!
01:19:12And here, proof of what happened. Messages exchanged on the morning of Darien's death.
01:19:17Because despite what you told us, Gavin, you were actually the first to discover Darien's body.
01:19:21You knew who Darien was because Ashley had told you all about him.
01:19:28And so you contacted Ashley, left a message telling her that Darien had turned up to the
01:19:34villa and died and asking her what was going on. A few minutes later, she, or rather, Marjorie,
01:19:41texted back.
01:19:42See, Marjorie realized that if the police were called and found Darien with his wound patched up,
01:19:49they'd know he was shot somewhere else. And the trail would lead right back to her.
01:19:55So, she had to do two things. First, she texted you with instructions. Second, she had to clear up
01:20:02the real scene of the crime. Marjorie's confessed to her colleague in the UK that she quickly doubled
01:20:06back from the airport and returned to Darien's house before disposing of the gun and the t-shirt he
01:20:10was wearing when she shot him. Meanwhile, you moved the body outside to the swimming pool.
01:20:14There's also a mention here of that bullet you kept as a memento in the text messages you sent to
01:20:20Ashley. Well, that's how Marjorie knew. So, as Ashley, she asked you to remove the bullet she killed
01:20:26Darien with and replace it with the one she knew you had. However, in your haste, you must have dropped
01:20:35the bullet you extracted into the swimming pool. But you knew you could come back and retrieve it later.
01:20:43Once you switched the bullets, the heartbeat was over. You disposed of the dressing,
01:20:50then made a hole in his t-shirt and let the blood around the wound soak in. So now, it looked like
01:20:57Darien had been shot after he entered the villa, not before. The last problem you had was getting
01:21:03rid of that antiseptic smell because that stuff lingers, right? And if the police noticed it,
01:21:08we'd certainly be asking who cleaned up the wound and why. So you ran into the bathroom and got hold
01:21:14of some aftershave, kneels and doused him in it. So now all you had to do was pretend to be asleep
01:21:21when Mrs. Dogdale discovered the body. Gavin, we need to get to the airport. You gotta pack.
01:21:26Leaving us without a scooby, as to how a man was shot with a gun that was locked in a desk drawer
01:21:325,000 miles away in a Swindon warehouse. In the end, it wasn't just the police that Marjorie Dodds had duped.
01:21:39It was you as well, Gavin. You see, you thought you were helping the woman you loved. A woman you'd do anything for
01:21:45when you were actually helping her kill her. Officer Rose.
01:22:06Mr. Bradbury, I'm arresting on the suspicion of perverting the course of justice. You don't need to say anything.
01:22:11But it may harm your defence if you do not mention one question, something you later rely on in court.
01:22:16Anything you do say may be used as evidence. I need to know, why did you come to the train
01:22:22station that night and invite me into your home? Why take that risk? Because I didn't want to spend
01:22:31Christmas on my own again. I'm so sorry I spoiled it all.
01:22:41Inspector? Commissioner? The arrest has been made. I'm pleased to see.
01:22:58Same here. We couldn't have done it without you, sir. Oh, and are you doing all right?
01:23:04Me? Yes, of course. I'm fine. Merry Christmas, sir.
01:23:16I'm doing fine.
01:23:21We regret to announce that the 10-15 to Leeds will be delayed due to a shortage of train staff.
01:23:34Mr. Bradbury, Chief Commissioner, it's Selwyn Patterson.
01:23:41And to you, and apologies for calling you during the holidays.
01:23:46But, um, I wanted to know if you'd found my replacement as yet.
01:23:53I see. I've been doing some thinking.
01:24:01And I wondered if there was any chance of my returning to the road.
01:24:08I know it's been a long time since I've been searching,
01:24:19since I've been searching to find you.
01:24:24The thing is, Harry, the classic Christmas Day Sunday roast lunch is all well and good.
01:24:30But when push comes to shove, the real culinary high point is the turkey and stuffing sarni.
01:24:37Because my friend, in my humble opinion, it is one of the greatest delicacies known to mankind.
01:24:47Like bacon and eggs?
01:24:49Oh, DS Thomas, you're just in time. Come in, come in.
01:24:54Grab those for me, would you?
01:24:55So, uh, what is this about, sir?
01:25:03I promised I'd make up for spoiling Christmas Day.
01:25:06And that is exactly what I'm doing. Come on.
01:25:08I don't know why I didn't think of this before.
01:25:15My front room on the beach.
01:25:17Is that a good idea, do you think?
01:25:19Yeah, why not?
01:25:21So we're watching something.
01:25:22We certainly are, DS Thomas.
01:25:24And not the...
01:25:24The great escape. Yeah.
01:25:30Beers and butties, everyone.
01:25:32And thank you to our local mayor for letting me have the leftovers from the bar.
01:25:37And you've put it all between two slices of bread.
01:25:41Yeah.
01:25:42How English.
01:25:44Excited for this film, inspector. Sounds dope.
01:25:48Um, sir.
01:25:53Is this really your favourite thing about Christmas?
01:25:56Well, yeah.
01:25:58When I was a little boy growing up, most times I didn't know where I was going to end up spending Christmas,
01:26:04right? With 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.
01:26:19I bet that little boy never thought he'd be here in the Caribbean.
01:26:26All these years later, watching that same film surrounded by his friends.
01:26:32He certainly didn't care for him.
01:26:41So, um, to him.
01:26:45To him.
01:26:49Okay, then. Showtime.
01:26:51Um, look, uh, just, just give me a few minutes, yeah?
01:27:06Yeah?
01:27:13Solomon, how you doing, man?
01:27:16You got my message, yeah?
01:27:17Um, look, I'm sorry I had to cut you off like that before, yeah?
01:27:24It was just, uh, an emergency at work I had to deal with.
01:27:27So, how's your Christmas been?
01:27:31Yeah? Good.
01:27:35Mine, um...
01:27:38Yeah, yeah, it's, uh, it's been really good.
01:27:43Look, um, I don't know how you feel about this, but...
01:27:47I was wondering if you wanted to meet up sometime.
01:27:54Yeah?
01:27:58Yeah, I definitely would like to.
01:28:17There it is.
