00:00My mom was in labor for 30 hours when she had me.
00:03She always said I didn't want to come out because I knew what was waiting for me.
00:07Like I knew I wouldn't fit in.
00:10Growing up, I was the kind of kid who'd sit in the shade doing puzzles.
00:17Instead of playing out, messing with my brother.
00:23After school, my mom would get annoyed I was more interested in doing homework than helping her.
00:27Benjamin, I told you to keep an eye out. Go and get the chair.
00:36My stepdad was a bit more patient.
00:39But not much.
00:43Hey guys.
00:45As I got older, I started to accept that there was something inside me that was different to them.
01:02I'm not sure about this, ma'am.
01:08Okay, get in the car.
01:10Police, where are you calling from?
01:12There's a stolen car dumped out to the waste ground near a bow point.
01:16Instead of doing what they did,
01:18I realized I wanted to do something positive with my life.
01:22I just didn't know what.
01:30Loving never did me no good, no how.
01:35No how.
01:38Then my answer came.
01:39That's why I
01:41Can't love you now
01:46No, I'm not saying it was fate intervening, but it just felt like something was calling me.
01:58Now there are many different things that make a good police officer.
02:03But what it comes down to, most of all, is respect.
02:06Yes, for your community, which is all of you, of course.
02:09But first and foremost, yourself.
02:12I'll tell you now, the last thing I ever thought I'd be in life was a police officer.
02:17That day, Sergeant Hoover spoke to us.
02:20What he said, it just made sense.
02:22So what did you think?
02:24And when I completed training,
02:26I've never felt so proud of myself.
02:35So why am I
02:38And in the morning, I've got my first shift here with the team on St. Marie.
02:52And I can't wait.
02:56Afternoon, everybody.
02:58This here is Officer Bryce, and he will be starting with you all tomorrow.
03:01And the reason I'm telling you all this, making this post, which is something I never do,
03:08is because I want you to know that if you're feeling lost,
03:13you don't need to go through what I did.
03:17You just need to find your purpose in life, like me.
03:21And once you do,
03:24nobody can take that away from you.
03:26Good morning, Darlene.
03:48Good morning, Sarge.
03:49Benjamin Sesseling-Ginoreth.
03:51He, um,
03:53isn't here yet,
03:54actually.
03:56Really?
03:57I thought he'd be early for his first shift.
03:59I guess he's only a few minutes late.
04:08Honoré Police Station.
04:10Officer Curtis speaking.
04:15I'm sorry.
04:17Where is this exactly?
04:19Rue de la Forestière.
04:21He's definitely wearing a police uniform.
04:24I'm sorry.
04:26I hope this is just a问.
04:29You have to say,
04:30go,
04:30go,
04:30go,
04:33go,
04:34go,
04:34go,
04:34go.
05:05Let me try and explain it to you.
05:11So basically what I'm doing is ordering all the food I need for the coming week,
05:16so that when I get home tomorrow, the lovely people at the supermarket will deliver it to my flat.
05:24I know, right? Technology, eh?
05:26Maybe one day such advancements will make their way to St Marie.
05:30Though, going by experience, between me and you, I wouldn't bank on it.
05:36Right then. That's me out of here.
05:41Nice knowing you, little man. But London is calling.
05:49Yeah, all black cabs in London are fitted with air con nowadays.
05:52You guys should definitely consider upgrading.
06:06Excuse me, excuse me. Pull over. Pull over, please.
06:09Just wait here a sec, yeah?
06:11Officer Curtis.
06:21Inspector, what are you doing here?
06:22I was just passing through on my way back to London.
06:24What's going on here?
06:27It's our new recruit, Benjamin.
06:29He was cycling in for his first shift.
06:31We're not sure what happened, because we've just arrived.
06:34But, um, a jugger called us just gone 8am.
06:38She saw Benjamin lying down there after seeing the bike.
06:42The tyres twisted, so he probably hit the pothole and then went flying over the side there.
06:46But we're not...
06:48No helmet?
06:49Not that I noticed.
06:51Inspector, is that your taxi for the airport?
06:56Oh, yeah.
06:57I was hoping to get away with that saying goodbye.
06:59Look...
07:00Look, no reason to hang around.
07:02We've got this covered.
07:03Why don't you just go and catch your flight?
07:05Sorry about...
07:09Yeah.
07:31Is everything all right, Inspector?
07:33It's the bicycle clip.
07:34I'm sorry?
07:35The bike...
07:35Look, he doesn't want to wear a helmet.
07:42That's okay.
07:42That's his choice.
07:43It's just not that kind of guy.
07:44But at the same time, he is that kind of guy who chooses to wear bicycle clips.
07:48I mean, does that tally with you?
07:58Inspector, I wasn't expecting you...
08:01I'm just passing through.
08:02I've got a plane to capture.
08:03Let's make this quick, yeah?
08:04It's a pleasure to see you too, sir.
08:11What did the paramedics say?
08:13Benjamin must have come off his bike at the top of the ravine.
08:16It's looking like an accident.
08:17They think he must have banged his head on a rock, which has caused a fatal traumatic head injury.
08:22The other bicycle clip.
08:24The other bicycle clip.
08:27Dirt in his fingernails.
08:28Dirt in his fingernails.
08:32But only in one hand.
08:35Do you mind if I am?
08:36What are you thinking, sir?
08:37It just seems odd that someone sensible enough to wear bicycle clips doesn't also wear a helmet.
08:48Especially if that person carries a bicycle pump and repair kit in their rucksack.
08:52But Officer Bryce wasn't wearing a helmet, sir.
08:54As far as we know.
08:56Until you can explain where his helmet got to and why it got there, I'll say at the very least this should be treated as suspicious.
09:08I bet I'll update the commissioner.
09:16Yeah, and if I were you, I'd get Officer Bryce's bike to the lab ASAP and check the GPS on his phone and give a thorough search of the area.
09:23Just keep me updated, yeah?
09:24Text me or something.
09:25Well, bye, sir.
09:27Have a safe...
09:29flight.
09:35Yeah.
09:36I'm definitely going to miss him.
09:38I'm sorry.
09:39I'm sorry.
09:40I'm sorry.
09:41I'm sorry.
09:42I'm sorry.
09:43I'm sorry.
09:44I'm sorry.
09:45I'm sorry.
09:46I'm sorry.
09:47I'm sorry.
09:48I'm sorry.
09:49I'm sorry.
09:50I'm sorry.
09:51I'm sorry.
09:52I'm sorry.
09:53I'm sorry.
09:54I'm sorry.
09:55I'm sorry.
09:56I'm sorry.
09:57I'm sorry.
09:58I'm sorry.
09:59I'm sorry.
10:00I'm sorry.
10:01I'm sorry.
10:02I'm sorry.
10:03I'm sorry.
10:04I'm sorry.
10:05I'm sorry.
10:06I'm sorry.
10:07Thank you for joining us, Officer Rupa.
10:18Sir, if we're treating Officer Bryce's death as suspicious,
10:21we shouldn't rule out the family as possible suspects.
10:24They all have criminal records,
10:25they all have a strained relationship with him,
10:27and they quite frankly hated that they joined the police.
10:31How are you doing?
10:32Sorry, Commissioner.
10:33Yes, Tomas.
10:34All that this is, it's thrown me.
10:37I only met Benjamin yesterday for the first time, JP,
10:40but all he could talk about was you
10:42and how much you did to help him.
10:45He's a good kid.
10:48Let's go speak with them.
10:50Yeah.
10:55Sir, Paulette, you said that Benjamin left the house at 7.30 this morning?
10:59Yeah, for sure he did.
11:00Our son, he was all dressed up in that uniform you gave him.
11:07And was he wearing a cycling helmet?
11:09I didn't see.
11:10His body was found halfway between your home address and the police station,
11:14and GPS confirms he appears to have come off his bike 15 minutes after he left at 7.45.
11:21Were you still at home at that time?
11:23Why are you asking me that?
11:24Because we haven't ruled out that your son's death was intended,
11:28and we need to make sure you can all be accounted for.
11:31I was having breakfast on my veranda.
11:35I'm sure somebody see me.
11:39Were you there as well, Mr. Cloud?
11:41I was here for a delivery at half 7.
11:44Until gone 8.
11:54I was with my girl.
11:55She confirmed.
11:56Lama went off quarter to 8.
11:58She had to get up for work.
11:59Sir, I guess it wasn't one of us that did this,
12:02despite the implication.
12:03Can any of you think of any reason why someone would want to have Benjamin?
12:08Be real.
12:09Of course not.
12:10You knew him, right?
12:12Benjamin was a softie.
12:14He never upset nobody.
12:16His got to have been an accident.
12:21Excuse me, I better take this.
12:28Officer Curtis, is everything all right?
12:31I'm sorry to bother you.
12:34I'm afraid he's back.
12:37Is that the commissioner?
12:38Mm-hmm.
12:39Quit my speakerphone.
12:40Maybe you don't do this in London.
12:46But over here, there's a word we like to use.
12:49And it's called, please.
12:52Officer Curtis.
12:54Please?
12:55Could you get the commissioner on speakerphone?
12:58Mm-hmm.
13:01Commissioner?
13:01Commissioner?
13:02Your man, Officer Bryce.
13:03I think he left a little message.
13:05I think he left a little message.
13:07Here I am.
13:08It's Maria.
13:10Backwards.
13:13Oh, um, Sergeant J.P. Hooper.
13:29I recruited Benjamin.
13:31I recruited Benjamin.
13:32All right.
13:32Yeah.
13:33My condolences.
13:35He was going to make a fine, officer.
13:37All right.
13:38So I checked the victim's email and phone.
13:41But there's no one with the name Maria I can find.
13:44Nor on his social media either.
13:46Well, I'm heading back to Jamaica.
13:47I can drop by, check in with the family, see if they recognize it.
13:51Not that I trust much of what they say.
13:54And, uh, look, if you can keep me updated.
14:02I want to know who it was that did this.
14:05Don't you worry, honey.
14:08All right.
14:09Can't this thing go any faster?
14:17Just leave it be, sir.
14:19It's fine as it is.
14:21Okay?
14:24So the message was under his body.
14:27It's got dirt in his fingernails on one hand.
14:30So he wrote that.
14:33Then he rolled onto it to obscure it from view.
14:36But why would he do that?
14:39The only thing I can think of is somebody else was there
14:42and he didn't want them to see it.
14:45Which makes me think more than ever that Officer Bryce was murdered.
14:49Yeah.
14:50Someone hit him over the head, then staged it to look like an accident.
14:53So if we're going to work out who killed him and why,
14:57I think in some way, Benjamin Bryce has already given us the answer.
15:05Sorry.
15:05You just said we?
15:13Yeah, I did just say that, didn't I?
15:15Well, I missed my flight now.
15:17But I'm here.
15:18So does that mean that you're actually going to stay
15:21and help us solve the case, sir?
15:24Yes, I am.
15:33No, no, sir, it's all good.
15:44Yeah, I reckon just a few more days,
15:45the case will be solved and I'm out of here.
15:47Oh, thanks very much, sir.
15:49I appreciate it.
15:49All right, will do.
15:54So you're definitely staying with us a bit longer, then?
15:57Yeah, looks like it.
15:59Bet that's made your day, hasn't it?
16:00Actually, I'm glad you're giving us your time on this.
16:06Officer Bryce deserves all we can give him.
16:09Yeah, well, he was a police officer.
16:12He's one of us, right?
16:14That matters.
16:16Anyway, on the upside,
16:18I get to spend a bit more time with Larry.
16:21I'm sorry, who?
16:26It's just this lizard that runs about the place.
16:28I call him Larry.
16:30Oh, you mean Harry.
16:33Sorry, what?
16:35The lizard, his name's Harry.
16:37Harry?
16:37Harry.
16:38Harry?
16:40Harry.
16:41You don't think Larry has a better ring to it?
16:43Larry the lizard sounds more like a children's cartoon character,
16:47don't you think?
16:48If you say so.
16:48It's not just me, like, everyone calls him Harry.
16:51Everyone.
16:51All right, then.
16:55Harry it is.
16:56Glad we got that iron out.
16:58Well, I'll see you tomorrow, then.
17:00Who calls a lizard Harry?
17:02Come on, let's go.
17:02Y'all know.
17:04What and?
17:04Who calls a lizard?
17:05Who calls a lizard man?
17:07Everybody.
17:07Hey.
17:09Let's go.
17:09What and?
17:09What and?
17:09All right.
17:10Let's go.
17:10Come on.
17:11How and?
17:11How and?
17:12How and?
17:12How and?
17:13How and?
17:14motherfucker.
17:15How and?
17:15What and?
17:17What and?
17:17What and?
17:18You tell you may film years?
17:19No, what's happened is I placed the order while I was still abroad, you see, and then
17:35my plans got changed.
17:36That's why your delivery guys sat outside with no one answering the door.
17:42Yeah, no, I hear what you're saying.
17:44The thing is I was meant to be at home when it arrived, but I'm still stuck here in the
17:47Caribbean.
17:49Yeah, I know it's premature of me, but...
17:53Hello?
17:54You still there?
17:56Everything all right, sir?
17:58I placed a supermarket order online.
18:01You know what that is, right?
18:01Of course.
18:02We have online shopping here as well.
18:04For real?
18:05Anyway, I wanted to cancel, but I forgot the UK are ahead, so now I'm...
18:08You know, you really need to stop acting like we're living in the past here.
18:12You're right.
18:13Because all police stations nowadays are made of wood, right?
18:15Right?
18:19What the...
18:22Darlene, when did this happen?
18:39Last night, after choir practice, the pastor was returning to his car when he noticed torchlight
18:46in the station.
18:47He went to check it out.
18:48In the process, he must have disturbed whoever it was.
18:52Anything taken?
18:53I don't think so, but they were definitely looking for something.
18:57They even tried to break into the evidence store, but they didn't manage to get in.
19:01This must be connected, though, right?
19:03To Officer Bryce's murder?
19:05More than that.
19:06I'd say it's actually starting to make some sense.
19:08How do you mean?
19:09Officer Bryce was on his way to this station to start his very first shift, right?
19:13He didn't make it.
19:14Someone made sure he never arrived, which makes me think there's something right here
19:17in this station that they didn't want him to find out.
19:19And whoever killed him must have panicked that we'd start looking and discover it ourselves.
19:24So they broke in and tried to take it, whatever it is.
19:29I might know what that could be.
19:34So, the intruder was searching through hard copies of the evidence file.
19:40Duane mentioned an informant that he used to use.
19:47Officer Bryce's mum was a grass?
19:49Mm-hmm.
19:49She used to give information on local criminals, but it is the last section that you need to look at.
19:57Paulette got Carlos arrested for selling counterfeit goods.
20:02He got six months in prison.
20:04She grasped on her own son.
20:06Exactly that.
20:08It's all there in black and white, so I can't really deny it, can I?
20:12Why did you set up your own son?
20:15He was stepping on my toes, professionally speaking.
20:19How do you mean?
20:20It's a small island.
20:22Only room for so many people to do what I do.
20:25And Carlos was encroaching.
20:28And what exactly is it you do, Mrs. Bryce?
20:33Let's call it retail.
20:35That sound all right to you?
20:37It's close enough, I suppose.
20:40So, how did you feel when Benjamin joined the police?
20:44I mean, it's a bit of a departure from your family business.
20:47Were you worried that he might find us, discovering you got Carlos sent to jail?
20:51If Carlos found out that you...
20:53I'm not afraid of that boy.
20:55But you made sure he never found out.
20:58And he still doesn't know?
20:59No.
21:01And you're right.
21:01I'd prefer to keep it that way.
21:04But if you think it's me that killed Benji, my own son, just to stop him finding out what
21:11a bad mother had been to his brother, then you need to go and have a chat with yourselves.
21:16But it's not just that, is it?
21:18If Benjamin had found this and told his brother what you'd done, the word's out.
21:22And that wouldn't do your reputation much good at all.
21:25And I think there's a whole bunch of people out there who'd feel very betrayed if they
21:29found out you glassed them up.
21:36Okay.
21:37Thanks, Darlene.
21:39I'll update the inspector now.
21:43Wherever he may be.
21:45Hmm.
21:45Oh, you know, just goes off and does whatever.
21:51Yeah, bye.
21:56All three suspects' alibis have checked out.
21:58So if it was one of them that did it, I guess we're left asking how.
22:05Is that helping, sir?
22:06What if all this is connected to a past case involving someone called Maria?
22:09Some new evidence or a crime that was never solved.
22:13And that's why Benjamin was killed.
22:15To stop him discovering what that was.
22:2713 cases in total.
22:29All involving a Maria in some way.
22:32Plus, a new set of station keys for you.
22:35You want to share these out, sir?
22:38We'd be happy to get stuck in.
22:39No, you're all right.
22:40I don't really know what it is.
22:41I'm looking forward to be honest with you.
22:43But thanks anyway.
22:44Okay.
22:45Have a good evening.
22:47Night, sir.
22:48Night.
22:49Oh, the commissioner wants you to know Catherine's organizing a vigil tomorrow afternoon outside
22:55the station for the local community.
22:57Do you remember Benjamin?
22:58Of course.
22:59I'll be there.
23:00Okay.

23:22Night.
23:23Commissioner, why am I looking at a case file with my mother's name on it?
23:32I assume you would have asked or looked into your mother's death in some way.
23:37I just thought it was ill health or something.
23:40I mean, she wasn't old. I know that.
23:43I just didn't think it was worth finding out.
23:46What, no?
23:48Well, something's happened to her, right?
23:50Otherwise, there wouldn't be a file in your police station with her name on it.
23:53What do you want me to tell you?
23:58Honestly, I'd rather we just found a pub somewhere with some decent air con and maybe the football on, but...
24:04Yeah, I guess. Tell me.
24:22It was an accident.
24:23About four months ago, your mother had been caring for her father for a while.
24:31He had dementia.
24:33When he eventually passed away, she decided to scatter his ashes at sea.
24:39So, she took his boat that morning from this harbour and...
24:47A storm came in hard and fast.
24:55She was about a mile and a half out to sea in a small fishing boat.
25:00She didn't...
25:02She didn't stand a chance.
25:03She didn't stand a chance.
25:04She didn't stand a chance.
25:05She didn't stand a chance.
25:05I'm sorry to see.
25:10Are you okay?
25:11Just feels a bit strange.
25:19You know?
25:21Hearing someone talk about her...
25:24Makes her feel real.
25:27Is that a bad thing?
25:30So, what am I going to find in this file?
25:39Coroner's report, police statement post-mortem.
25:43Well, pathologist was over from Guadalupe on holiday cover.
25:47Her name was Maria Dumas.
25:49That is why it came up in the search.
25:54Are there any photographs in it?
25:56No.
25:57I checked.
25:58Yeah.
25:59Right then.
26:00Okay.
26:01That's, um...
26:02Yeah.
26:03Uh...
26:04Mm.
26:05Mm.
26:06Mm.
26:07Mm.
26:08Mm.
26:09Mm.
26:10Mm.
26:11Mm.
26:12Mm.
26:13Mm.
26:14Mm.
26:15Mm.
26:16Mm.
26:17Mm.
26:19Mm.
26:38Mm.
26:40Mm.
26:44All right, Larry?
27:02Sorry, I mean Harry.
27:14Here you go, sir.
27:30Oh, cheers, mate.
27:41Morning, Inspector.
27:43Sorry to interrupt your breakfast.
27:45No, no, it's all good.
27:46Just trying out this new online delivery service.
27:48Now I know you guys have got one.
27:50Fancy the bacon sarnie.
27:53Well, hang on.
27:55What kind of bacon is this anyway?
27:57Caribbean bacon?
27:58I think it's just bacon bacon, sir.
28:00No, trust me, whatever this is, this ain't bacon bacon.
28:05Do you want to chop that breakfast in your face or shall I?
28:09No.
28:11But you got something for me?
28:13Last night I remembered something from when Officer Bryce came to the station the day before he was due to start work.
28:21He was shown around the place where his desk is and there were some papers he put in his desk drawer that day.
28:29An address, times of the day.
28:32What are these?
28:34Graham plans to a property?
28:36These are plans for some kind of burglary or robbery.
28:39Exactly that.
28:40Benjamin had discovered a robbery was about to take place.
28:43Past cents had already happened just over a year ago.
28:47Some jewellery, cash and a handbag was taken.
28:50The perpetrator was arrested.
28:51An all-time criminal called Clendon Seeley.
28:54Mm-hmm.
28:55Go on.
28:55We've got the handbag back.
28:58Nothing of value was in it.
28:59But the cash and jewellery was never recovered.
29:02It was worth about, what, $2,000?
29:04Tragically, the homeowner, Eudora James, died of a heart attack that same night.
29:10So the handbag has been in our evidence store ever since.
29:14When we originally investigated, it was always suspected that Clendon committed the burglary on behalf of a third party.
29:23And there's one other set of fingerprints on those documents apart from Benjamin's.
29:31What is it you think it is that this proves?
29:33That you're connected to the burglary at the house on Rue de Saint-Mar.
29:36And we think Officer Bryce, your stepson, was going to raise this with us.
29:42And that's why I killed him.
29:43To stop him from reporting me.
29:47Take a seat.
29:52I'll stand. Thanks.
29:54Firstly, I wouldn't do that.
29:57I always got on with Ben.
29:59And he, I think he liked me.
30:01And secondly, there's some big leaps you're making there, Detective Sergeant.
30:06Let's start with the burglary.
30:08No one has ever accused me of that before now.
30:13I mean, are you actually arresting me for that?
30:19Not at the moment, no.
30:21If there's not enough to arrest me on, it certainly doesn't seem like something worth killing over.
30:27Does it to you?
30:28Well, it's not that simple, is it, Damon?
30:30And you know that.
30:31Because now we know what's what about the burglary, we're just going to keep digging.
30:36Got an officer back at the station doing just that as we speak.
30:39And in time, I'm sure more evidence will accrue.
30:44Because you know what?
30:45It always does.
30:46And at that point, I'd be worried if I were you.
30:49Just had the police round.
31:10Something tells me they're going to be heading your way very soon.
31:13All right, Antoine.
31:17Thank you for all your help.
31:20Inspector?
31:21Sarge?
31:22That's good timing.
31:24Now, I was looking into the burglary.
31:27And I realized that Carlos Bryce wouldn't be in a prison the same time as Clendon Sealy.
31:33Now, there may not be anything in that.
31:35Maybe there is.
31:36There definitely is.
31:39And it's juicy.
31:41I mean, real juicy.
31:44Go on.
31:45So, the woman who does my nails, Fabian, her sister's daughter's boyfriend is a prison officer.
31:52So, I called him and asked whether Carlos Bryce ever crossed paths with Clendon Sealy while he was inside.
31:58And it turns out that Carlos made a beeline for Clendon as soon as he arrived, clearly wanting to make a friend of him.
32:07And do we know why?
32:08I'll tell you why.
32:11If you want.
32:15There's a lot of misinformation flying about that prison, so.
32:18How about I give you the official version of events?
32:20Yes, I admit, it's true.
32:23Me and Clendon looked out for each other when I was serving time, but me never seek out his friendship like some say.
32:29The thing just happened.
32:30My contact is pretty reliable.
32:32And he said that there was something Clendon knew that you wanted him to share with you.
32:37Some information.
32:38What kind of information?
32:39We don't know.
32:40That's why we're asking you.
32:41I'm telling you.
32:41I don't know what it is you're talking about.
32:43You're lying.
32:43No, I'm not.
32:44Yes.
32:44Okay, what about the fact that we have evidence connecting your stepfather to the same burglary Clendon Seeley was arrested for?
32:52Is that just a coincidence?
32:53Well, I don't know anything about that.
32:55You'd have to ask me, stepfather.
32:56You're lying again.
32:57I can't be bothered with this.
32:59Why are you saying that for, man?
33:00Because when people lie, they either say too much or too little.
33:03You're saying diddly squat.
33:05Well, you can think what you want.
33:06But I'm telling you I'm not.
33:09What's he going over there for?
33:10I'm making some tea.
33:12Which is better use of my time than talking to you.
33:15Is he always like this?
33:16You were saying?
33:17Look, I'm not denying that Clendon and I became acquaintances in prison.
33:22But I swear on my life, there was nothing more to it than that.
33:27Now, is there anything more that you...
33:30No, we're done here.
33:31You can see yourself out.
33:36Right.
33:37Well, um...
33:39I appreciate you for giving me the chance to, uh, set the story straight.
33:46You all have a good evening now.
33:48You know, sir, I can't lie.
33:57I really enjoyed that.
33:59If your contact is right, and there was something Carlos wanted from Clendon Seeley,
34:03it's got to be connected to the Eudora James burglary, right?
34:06Then it must be the missing cash and jewellery.
34:09They were never recovered.
34:10But that doesn't explain the break in here at the station.
34:13The stolen cash and jewellery aren't here.
34:16And even if they were, it's only $2,000.
34:18Hardly worth the risk.
34:20And this heat doesn't help.
34:22Ah, people are gathering for the vigil.
34:25We should head out.
34:26Come in, Inspector.
34:27It's the handbag.
34:29It's got to be the handbag.
34:31Now, Officer Curtis, what do we know about you, Eudora James?
34:35She's local, a widow, wealthy, and a bit lonely, I gathered.
34:42And the only thing currently at this station that was stolen from her house is a handbag, right?
34:45But there was nothing of value in it, so we put in the evidence wrong.
34:49Keys to the evidence store.
34:51Key to the evidence store.
34:54Please?
34:54There it is.
35:17There are no true ways about it.
35:20This is a sad and solemn day indeed for all of us.
35:24I know that many of you here never even got to meet Officer Benjamin Bryce.
35:30And although he was at the very start of his career,
35:34I have no doubt he would have made a fine officer
35:38who would have given his all to his community.
35:42I'd like us all now to share in a moment of silence
36:09a place in which we can honor and remember the deceased.
36:16Yeah, that doesn't sound good.
36:34He's turned the fun up to full, hasn't he?
36:36I think you're right.
37:04It was fine where it was.
37:08Commissioner, I think the electric's gone.
37:10I mean, like, everything.
37:11Inspector.
37:26Inspector.
37:30The repairman can't get here for a couple of days,
37:33so I asked him to invoice you here of the Metropolitan Police, London.
37:38Hang on, it's not my fault you've got a dodgy fan.
37:41If you had decent aircon fitted like everyone else in the world does
37:44instead of some antique ceiling fan from the 1920s,
37:47I mean, all I did was turn the thing up a couple of knots and...
37:50Please...
37:57I don't mean to pry, but is the murder case linked to Eudora James' burglary?
38:15It's just I knew her a little.
38:18For real?
38:18Yeah, she lived not far from me.
38:21She was elderly, so I kept an eye on her.
38:24What about the burglary?
38:25Do you know anything about that?
38:27Not much, but I was at the hospital with her when she passed.
38:31And did you speak with her?
38:32She was very confused, not herself.
38:35Although she kept saying something about someone called Maria.
38:39She definitely said Maria.
38:48Yes.
38:50She was asking where Maria was.
38:53I didn't know who she meant.
38:55There's no one in her family called Maria.
38:57I knew it!
38:58The answer to all this lies inside Eudora James' handbag.
39:02A handbag?
39:02It's the only thing in this station that's connected to the burglary.
39:06And the fact that she was talking about Maria that very night.
39:10Whoever killed Benjamin and broke into this station did it because of something to do with this handbag.
39:20You think there's something of value there?
39:24Nothing that I can see.
39:27Knitting needle and wool.
39:30Glasses case with glasses.
39:32Pillbox.
39:35Empty.
39:37Envelope.
39:39Empty.
39:41Shopping list on the other side.
39:45Purse.
39:47Also empty.
39:49Hair clip.
39:51Old photo.
39:52Oh.
39:53It's her husband.
39:55He passed before her.
39:56Why would anyone break into this station, let alone commit murder?
40:01For any of these items?
40:02I don't know, sir.
40:07I don't know.
40:08I don't know.
40:08I don't know.
40:08I don't know.
40:08I don't know.
40:08I don't know.
40:08I don't know.
40:10I don't know.
40:12I don't know.
40:12I don't know.
40:12I don't know.
40:12I don't know.
40:13I don't know.
40:13I don't know.
40:14I don't know.
40:15I don't know.
40:16I don't know.
40:17I don't know.
40:18I don't know.
40:19I don't know.
40:20I don't know.
40:21I don't know.
40:22I don't know.
40:23I don't know.
40:24I don't know.
40:25I don't know.
40:26I don't know.
40:27I don't know.
40:28I don't know.
40:29Come on in, Officer Curtis.
40:38Yes, Thomas?
40:41Sergeant Hooper, this is unexpected.
40:43Yes, I have some meetings on San Marie,
40:45so I thought I'd come in early to check in.
40:47See if we're any closer to finding Benjamin's killer.
40:50I'm not any closer, I'm afraid, sir.
40:55Is the commissioner here?
40:56I thought I'd catch him.
40:58There's something that I need to talk to him about.
41:00He's actually on his way over now for an update.
41:03Actually, where's the inspector?
41:07This is what I mean.
41:09He always just goes off on his own and does whatever.
41:16Inspector, DS Thomas here, just wondering, where are you?
41:27So do you want to tell us how you're getting on with the case, sir?
41:37All three suspects have alibis.
41:40So if it was one of them that killed Benjamin,
41:42we don't know how they did it.
41:43We've still no idea what it was they were trying to steal from the station.
41:46And on top of that,
41:47we've no clue why Benjamin wrote Maria backwards before he died.
41:50Apart from that,
41:53swimmingly.
41:59Hang on.
42:02Boats have names.
42:04Uh, yes.
42:06The answer to all this lies inside Eudora James' handbag.
42:12If it was a boat,
42:13why would they break into the station?
42:15Because the boat was in the station.
42:18That's what they wanted.
42:19Envelope.
42:20Shopping list on the other side.
42:22Why would anyone want to break into this station for any of these items?
42:26Certainly doesn't seem like something worth killing over.
42:29But inspector,
42:30there are no boats inside our station.
42:32Yes, there is.
42:34A hundred percent there is.
42:35Just not the kind you're thinking of.
42:37Which leaves me asking one question.
42:39How?
42:40They think he must have banged his head on a rock.
42:42No helmet?
42:44Poor lad got Carlos arrested.
42:46She grasped on her own son.
42:48He got six months in prison.
42:50Carlos was encroaching.
42:51I'm not denying that Clendon and I became acquaintances.
42:55One of them definitely did it.
42:57But whichever one it was,
42:58how can they be in two places at the exact same time?
43:00I was having breakfast on my veranda.
43:04I was with my girl.
43:05I was here for a delivery.
43:06Anyway, I wanted to cancel it,
43:08but I forgot the UK are ahead.
43:10That's how.
43:12Sir?
43:16Officer Curtis,
43:18I want you to go and get a search warrant.
43:20For what about suspects?
43:21Someone else.
43:22D.S. Thomas,
43:22we need to go and get some fingerprints checked
43:24and I need to make a phone call to a guy I know in Kentish Town.
43:27He'll say for definite if I'm right about this.
43:29Write about what?
43:30And what guy?
43:31And where is Kentish Town?
43:33London.
43:34Where do you think?
43:44You've come over to our ways of doing things then?
43:47Not really, no.
43:49I'd still rather just write it up.
43:51But I don't seem to have much of a choice, do I?
43:53Inspector.
43:58Inspector.
44:09Okay.
44:11I'm going to start by making a statement of fact.
44:13that Benjamin Brice,
44:16had he been given the chance,
44:17would have excelled at being a police officer.
44:20Sergeant Hooper was bang on the money
44:23when he recruited him all those months ago.
44:25He saw something in him.
44:27And now I see it too.
44:29And how do I know this?
44:31Because Officer Benjamin Brice was smart.
44:35I mean, really smart.
44:36And even under immense pressure,
44:38he was able to keep his cool
44:39and let his brain do the work.
44:47This is a message Benjamin left for us.
44:50Arum.
44:51It's actually Maria,
44:53written backwards in the mud.
44:55Now,
44:55we've been all around the houses
44:57trying to work out what this meant.
44:58But now,
44:59finally,
45:00we know.
45:01And it all comes back to the contents
45:03of Eudora James' handbag
45:05that was taken in the robbery.
45:09Is that the shopping list?
45:11Yeah, you're right, it is.
45:12Scribbled on the back of an envelope.
45:14But you already know that, don't you?
45:17You all do.
45:19And you also know
45:20what's on the other side.
45:23This
45:23Saint-Marie stamp.
45:26It's old.
45:281930s, to be more accurate.
45:29I had to phone a mate of mine
45:30who knows more about these things
45:31to confirm my suspicions.
45:33You see,
45:33when I first saw this,
45:35I thought it was just upside down.
45:38But it wasn't.
45:39It's the image of the boat
45:41in the centre of the stamp
45:42that was upside down.
45:44It's a misprint.
45:45Only five of them
45:46were ever issued.
45:47All by mistake.
45:48The last one that came up
45:49for auction,
45:50sold for just shy
45:51of a million dollars.
45:52And do you know
45:53what it's called,
45:54this little stamp?
45:55For those in the know,
45:56it's called
45:57the Inverted Maria.
45:59And that's why
46:00Benjamin wrote
46:01Maria inverted
46:03in the mud.
46:04He knew
46:04it wouldn't quite
46:05make sense at first.
46:07But he trusted
46:08that we,
46:09his fellow police officers,
46:11would not only realise
46:12that this wasn't the name
46:13of his killer,
46:15but that we would pursue
46:16this case doggedly,
46:17as we do,
46:18until we worked out
46:19what he was trying
46:20to tell us.
46:22That this extremely valuable
46:24antique stamp
46:25was in the evidence store,
46:28sitting in your Dora's handbag
46:29at our very own police station
46:31in Honorary.
46:33Paulette,
46:34I think this whole thing
46:35started with you.
46:36Because having now
46:37dusted this envelope
46:38for fingerprints,
46:39guess what?
46:40We found yours on it.
46:42Now, we'll never know
46:43exactly how
46:44and when you found out
46:45about the stamp,
46:46but there are things
46:46we do know.
46:47We know Eudora James
46:49was a widow,
46:51wealthy,
46:52and a bit lonely.
46:53And so we think
46:54you inveigled
46:56your way into her life.
46:58Maybe not fully sure
46:59when you'd get
47:00some money off her,
47:01but once you gained
47:03her trust,
47:04we think
47:04she confided in you
47:06about this stamp
47:07and that's when
47:09your plan was formed.
47:11Together,
47:12you and Damon
47:13recruited Clendon Seeley,
47:15an experienced burglar,
47:17to steal the stamp
47:18from her handbag.
47:19But that all went south
47:20when your Dora James
47:22woke up,
47:23called the police,
47:25and Clendon Seeley
47:25was arrested shortly after.
47:28That's why
47:29you arranged
47:30for Carlos
47:31to go to prison
47:31to put pressure
47:32on Clendon Seeley
47:33to reveal where
47:34that handbag
47:35containing that valuable stamp
47:37had ended up.
47:38And then an opportunity
47:39presented itself,
47:40didn't it,
47:41to act on the information
47:42Clendon had given you
47:43to make your little fortune.
47:46And you had an inside man
47:47from the family
47:48who had just started
47:49training as a police officer.
47:51I was about to start work
47:52at the same police station
47:53you now knew
47:55held the handbag
47:55containing that stamp.
47:57I think you asked him
47:58to do you a favor,
48:00to go into their evidence store
48:01and get that envelope.
48:03I mean,
48:04it was just
48:04an old envelope, right?
48:05No big deal.
48:06No one's gonna notice
48:07it missing.
48:08All those years
48:08of assuming he was okay
48:10with the way you lived,
48:11it never occurred to you
48:12that he wanted
48:13something different
48:13from his life.
48:17I mean, yeah,
48:18he was in a police uniform now.
48:20But would he really
48:21feel any different?
48:22You were his family
48:23after all.
48:24Well, he did.
48:26Because he had chosen
48:26a different path to follow.
48:28So when you had asked
48:29him to help you out,
48:30you weren't expecting
48:30his response.
48:32No!
48:33I'm not going to do that!
48:35Okay, I'm not doing
48:35what you want anymore!
48:37What?
48:37And you know what?
48:38I think not only
48:39did he turn you down,
48:40but as a police officer,
48:41he had a duty
48:42to tell the truth.
48:43To alert his colleagues
48:45about his family's involvement
48:46in what had happened
48:47and to the valuable items
48:48that resided
48:49in their station.
48:50And so now,
48:51all three of you
48:52were faced with the fact
48:53you were gonna be arrested
48:54the next day
48:55for conspiracy
48:56to commit burglary
48:57and for perverting
48:58the course of justice.
48:59But only one of you
49:01went as far as
49:02committing murder
49:03to stop that
49:04from happening.
49:06And that was you, Carlos.
49:13What are you talking about?
49:15That is crazy.
49:16And I think you did it
49:17because you'd done
49:18more than anyone
49:19to get hold of that stamp.
49:21Spending a six-month
49:22prison sentence
49:23just to find out
49:24where it was.
49:25That's a heck
49:25of a sacrifice, right?
49:26And now all of it
49:27was going to go to waste.
49:28All of that
49:29just to end up
49:30back inside again.
49:32How could it be me
49:33when I was with my girl
49:35at her home
49:35when it happened?
49:39Yeah, you see,
49:41your alibi, Carlos,
49:42I realized it was
49:43the only one
49:44that could be faked.
49:46We know that Benjamin
49:47came off his bike
49:48at around 7.45
49:49that morning.
49:50GPS confirms
49:51he appears to have
49:52come off his bike
49:53at 7.45.
49:55When you and your girlfriend
49:56were woken up
49:57by her alarm,
49:57which she confirmed
49:58to us she set
49:59the night before.
50:02But I think
50:02you adjusted her clock,
50:04putting it back
50:0515 minutes
50:05while she was asleep.
50:08This done,
50:10knowing exactly
50:10what time Benjamin
50:11would be heading out
50:12to work,
50:13you set out
50:14to stop him en route.
50:15You then proceeded
50:15to kill him
50:16before hurrying back
50:18to your girlfriend's flat
50:19and climbing into bed,
50:21ready for the alarm
50:21to sound.
50:23The timer's actually
50:238 o'clock now,
50:24but her alarm clock
50:25said 7.45.
50:27I assume while she showered,
50:28you reset the clock
50:29to the correct time.
50:30She was unaware
50:31that she'd lost
50:32a quarter of an hour.
50:34But it was just enough
50:35of a time delay
50:35for you to kill
50:37your own brother.
50:38That is crazy.
50:40And you can't prove
50:41any of that.
50:42You're right.
50:43Nothing will ever prove
50:43that that actually happened.
50:45But we do have this.
50:48You see,
50:48it was the first thing
50:50that bothered me
50:51about this case
50:52that Benjamin
50:53didn't wear a helmet
50:54when he cycled
50:55to work that morning.
50:57We've just been
50:57to your girlfriend's flat.
50:59We found this
50:59in the rubbish.
51:00Now,
51:01we haven't had time yet,
51:02but we're going to check
51:03this for fingerprints.
51:05And I'm sure
51:05we'll find yours on it.
51:07Carlos,
51:08you set out
51:08to meet your own brother,
51:10Officer Benjamin Bryce,
51:12because you had to stop him
51:14from betraying
51:14his own flesh and blood.
51:16And stop him
51:19from walking
51:19into our police station
51:20where he would reveal
51:21the location
51:23of this valuable stamp
51:24and with it,
51:25the fortune
51:26you were so desperate
51:27to get your hands on.
51:28No!
51:33And that's why
51:34he brought a rock
51:35down on his head
51:36and killed him,
51:38taking his helmet
51:39to sell the lie
51:40that he died
51:41of a head injury.
51:46Why, Carlos?
51:49Why you do that?
51:51You're fucked!
51:52You're fucked!
51:53You're fucked!
51:53You're fucked!
51:54You're fucked!
51:55You're fucked!
51:56You're fucked!
51:57You're fucked!
51:58You're fucked!
51:59You're fucked!
52:00I do, Damon!
52:01I do, Damon!
52:06Sergeant Hooper,
52:08you could make
52:08the final arrest.
52:09Thank you very much,
52:12Inspector.
52:15Carlos Bryce,
52:16I'm arresting you
52:17for the murder
52:20of Officer Benjamin Bryce.
52:22You do not have
52:23to say anything,
52:24but it may harm
52:24your defense
52:25if you do not
52:25mention it.
52:39This station has seen
52:46some action
52:46the last few days.
52:48Still standing, though.
52:50And it's only
52:50made out of wood.
52:52What?
52:54Sorry, I was just
52:54checking the next flights
52:55back to London.
52:57When are you leaving us?
52:58Tomorrow afternoon,
52:59looks like.
53:01Bancy a farewell bear?
53:02I'm meeting Darlene
53:03at Catherine's.
53:04No, you're all right.
53:05Got stuff to do.
53:07So I guess
53:07this is goodbye, then?
53:08Yeah, I guess it is.
53:12I suppose you're
53:13going to be putting
53:13your name down
53:14for the next DI
53:14now I'm gone?
53:16Um,
53:17at some point.
53:19But not yet.
53:20I feel like
53:21there's still a few
53:21more things
53:22I need to learn.
53:22For real?
53:23Well, good for you.
53:25There's a few DSCs
53:26back in London
53:26that can do
53:27with taking that approach.
53:28Oh, wow.
53:29Something we do here
53:30better than London.
53:32That's a first.
53:33Well, I didn't
53:34quite say that.
53:36Yeah.
53:36Bye, sir.
53:39Yeah, hello.
53:41Yeah, I just saw
53:41there was a flight
53:42to London tomorrow,
53:43five o'clock.
53:44Yeah, I want to get
53:48back as soon as
53:49possible.
53:50Yeah, that's great.
53:53And you'll email
53:53the tickets over
53:54tonight, yeah?
53:57Great.
54:28I'm pleased
54:41that justice
54:41has been done.
54:43Both for Benjamin
54:44and you, Dora.
54:46They deserve it.
54:48But...
54:49It doesn't make it
54:50any less, sir.
54:53You're an old
54:54hand at this.
54:55Doesn't mean
54:56I don't feel it.
54:58I know.
55:06I'll be a minute
55:07or so.
55:08Thanks.
55:12Sergeant Hooper,
55:13I thought you had
55:14a plane to catch.
55:15Yes, I do.
55:17But I wondered
55:17if I could have
55:18a chat with you.
55:19Have you got
55:20some time, sir?
55:20Yes, yes, of course.
55:23So, uh,
55:24there are some
55:25things that I found
55:26out about at the
55:27headquarters back
55:27in Jamaica.
55:28You know,
55:29they loop me
55:29into some of
55:30these things,
55:30you know?
55:32Like, I shouldn't
55:33really be saying
55:33any of this, sir,
55:34but after everything
55:35you've done for me,
55:36I feel it would be
55:37wrong if I did not.
55:40They are looking
55:41to change some
55:41things here.
55:44Streamlining.
55:45And your
55:45position,
55:47Commissioner,
55:48they're going
55:50to dissolve it, sir.
55:51I'm really, really,
55:53I'm really, really
55:55sorry, sir.
56:04Yeah, yes, sir.
56:06Um,

56:43on my mother.
56:46I don't think her death
56:47was an accident.

56:55show called
56:56Island Warrior.

57:02one of your contestants.
57:03Why do it so publicly?

57:07as a pineapple.

57:13your job.

57:15We are looking
57:16into the possibility
57:16that Dawn of Bray's
57:17death might not
57:18have been an accident.
