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.
00:30Hey, I told her to keep a nail to me. Go and get the chair.
00:36My stepdad was a bit more patient.
00:39Hey.
00:41But, not much.
00:44Hey, guys.
00:52Laughing sometimes does somebody some good somehow.
00:55And as I got older, I started to accept that there was something inside me that was different to them.
01:05I'm not sure about this, man.
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.
01:15And instead of doing what they did, I realized I wanted to do something positive with my life.
01:27I just didn't know what.
01:30Loving never did mean no good, no how.
01:35No how.
01:38Then my answer came.
01:39That's right.
01:40Now, 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.
02:13I'll tell you now, the last thing I ever thought I'd be in life was a police officer.
02:17So that day, Sergeant, who spoke to us, what he said, it just made sense.
02:22So what did you think?
02:23And when I completed training, I've never felt so proud of myself.
02:45And in the morning, I've got my first shift here with the team on St. Marie.
02:49And I can't wait.
02:56Afternoon, everybody.
02:58This here is Officer Bryce, and he will be starting with you all tomorrow.
03:02And the reason I'm telling you all this, making this post, which is something I never do,
03:09is because I want you to know that if you're feeling lost, you don't need to go through what I did.
03:15You just need to find your purpose in life, like me.
03:21And once you do, nobody can take that away from you.
03:26Morning, Darlene.
03:48Good morning, Sarge.
03:49Benjamin Sesseling-Ginoreth.
03:50He, um, isn't here yet, actually.
03:55Really?
03:57I thought he'd be early for his first shift.
03:59I guess he's only a few minutes late.
04:08Honorary Police Station.
04:10Officer Curtis speaking.
04:11I'm sorry.
04:17Where is this exactly?
04:19Rue de la Forestière is definitely wearing a police uniform.
04:23Rue de la Forestière is definitely wearing a police uniform.

04:37Rue de la Forestière is definitely wearing a police uniform.
05:08Let 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.
05:38That's me out of here.
05:41Nice knowing you, little man.
05:43But London is calling.
05:49Yeah, all black cabs in London are fitted with air con nowadays.
05:55You guys should definitely consider upgrading.
05:57Excuse 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 there?
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 on 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?
06:54Oh, yeah.
06:57I was hoping to get away without 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 a flight?
07:07Sorry about...
07:08Yeah.
07:24Is everything all right, Inspector?
07:33It's the bicycle clip.
07:34I'm sorry.
07:35The bi...
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 catch.
08:03And let's make this quick, yeah?
08:04It's a pleasure to see you too, sir.
08:10What 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.
08:18They think he must have banged his head on a rock,
08:20which has caused a fatal traumatic head injury.
08:24The other bicycle clip.
08:29Dirt in his fingernails.
08:32But only in one hand.
08:35Do you mind if I...
08:41What are you thinking, sir?
08:43It just seems odd that someone sensible enough to wear bicycle clips
08:46doesn'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.
08:55As far as we know.
09:01Until you can explain where his helmet got to and why it got there,
09:05I'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
09:20and 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.
09:31Yeah, I'm definitely going to miss him.
09:37Thanks.
09:39Here's him.
09:50Yeah.
09:50Bye.
09:52Bye.
09:57Bye.
10:07Bye.
10:08Bye.
10:08Bye.
10:09thank you for joining us officer sir if we're treating officer bryce's death as suspicious
10:21we shouldn't rule out the family as possible suspects they all have criminal records they
10:25all had a strained relationship with him and they quite frankly hated that he joined the police
10:30how are you doing sorry commissioner yes tomas all of this is it's thrown me i only met benjamin
10:38yesterday for the first time jp but all he could talk about was you and how much you did to help him
10:44he's a good kid let's go speak with them yeah
10:50so paulette you said that benjamin left the house at 7 30 this morning
10:59yeah for sure he did i saw him he was all dressed up in that uniform you gave him
11:06and was he wearing a cycling helmet i didn't see his body was found halfway between your home
11:12address and the police station and gps confirms he appears to have come off his bike 15 minutes
11:18after he left at 7 45 were you still at home at that time why are you asking me that because we
11:25we haven't ruled out that your son's death was intended and we need to make sure you can all be
11:30accounting for i was having breakfast on my veranda i'm sure somebody see me
11:37were you there as well mr cloud i was here for a delivery at half seven until gone eight
11:46i was with my girl she confirmed long went off quarter to eight she had to get up for work
11:59so i guess it wasn't one of us that did this despite the implication can any of you think of
12:05any reason why someone would want to have benjamin be real of course not
12:10you know him right benjamin was a softy he never upset nobody it's got to have been an accident
12:18excuse me i better take this
12:24officer curtis is everything all right
12:31i'm sorry to bother you i'm afraid he's back is that the commissioner
12:38mm-hmm quit my speakerphone
12:42maybe you don't do this in london but over here there's a word we like to use
12:49and it's called please officer curtis please could you get the commissioner on speakerphone
13:01commissioner your man officer bryce i think he left a little message here am
13:08it's maria backwards
13:13oh um sergeant jp hooper i recruited benjamin all right yeah my condolences thank you
13:35he was gonna make a fine officer all right so i checked the victim's email and phone but there's
13:41no one with the name maria i can find no on his social media either well i'm heading back to
13:46jamaica i can drop by checking with the family see if they recognize it not that i trust much of
13:52what they say and uh look if you can keep me updated
13:56i want to know who it was that did this don't you worry honey
14:08all right
14:16can't this thing go any faster just leave it be sir it's fine as it is okay
14:21so the message was under his body it's got dirt in his fingernails on one hand so he wrote that
14:33then rolled onto it to obscure it from view but why would he do that the only thing i can think of
14:41is somebody else was there and he didn't want them to see it
14:43which makes me think more than ever that officer bryce was murdered
14:49yeah someone hit him over the head then staged it to look like an accident so if we're gonna work
14:54out who killed him and why i think in some way benjamin bryce has already given us the answer
15:01sorry um you just said we
15:13yeah i did just say that didn't i well i missed my flight now
15:17but i'm here so does that mean that you're actually going to stay and help us solve the case sir
15:32yes i am
15:42no no sir it's all good yeah i reckon just a few more days the case will be solved and i'm out of here
15:47oh thanks very much sir i appreciate it all right will do
15:52so you're definitely staying with us a bit longer then yeah looks like it but that's made your day
16:00hasn't it actually i'm glad you're giving us your time on this officer bryce deserves all we can give
16:08him yeah well it was a police officer one of us right that matters anyway on the upside i get to
16:19spend a bit more time with larry
16:21i'm sorry poo it's just this lizard that runs about the place i call him larry oh you mean harry
16:32sorry what the lizard his name's harry harry harry harry harry you don't think larry has a
16:42better ring to it larry the lizard sounds more like a children's cartoon character don't you think
16:48if you say so it's not just me like everyone calls him harry everyone
16:53all right then harry is glad we got that ironed out but i'll see you tomorrow then
16:59who calls a lizard harry
17:13so
17:29now what's happened is i placed the order while i was still abroad you see and then my plans got
17:36changed that's why your delivery guys sat outside with no one answering the door
17:42yeah now i hear what you're saying the thing is i was meant to be at home when it arrived but i'm
17:46still stuck here in the caribbean yeah i know it's premature of me but hello you still there
17:55everything all right sir i placed a supermarket order online you know what that is right of course
18:02we have online shopping here as well for real anyway i wanted to cancel but i forgot the uk are
18:07ahead so now i'm you know you really need to stop acting like we're living in the past year
18:12you're right because all police stations nowadays are made of wood right
18:20what the
18:25darling when did this happen last night after choir practice the pastor was returning to his car
18:44when he noticed torchlight in the station he went to check it out in the process he must have disturbed
18:51whoever it was anything taken i 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 this must be
19:02connected though right to officer bryce's murder more than that i'd say it's actually starting to make
19:08some sense how do you mean officer bryce was on his way to this station to start his very first shift
19:13right he didn't make it someone made sure he never arrived which makes me think there's something
19:17right here in this station that they didn't want him to find out and whoever killed him must have
19:21panicked that we'd start looking and discover it ourselves so they broke in and tried to take it
19:26whatever it is i might know what that could be
19:34so the intruder was searching through hard copies of the evidence file duane mentioned an informant that
19:42he used to use officer bryce's mom was a grass mm-hmm she used to give information on local criminals
19:53but it is the last section that you need to look at paulette got carlos arrested for selling counterfeit
20:01goods he got six months in prison she grasped on her own son exactly that it's all there in black and
20:09white so i can't really deny it can i why did you set up your own son he was stepping on my toes
20:17professionally speaking how do you mean it's a small island only room for so many people to do what
20:23i do and carlos was encroaching and what exactly is it you do mrs bryce let's call it retail
20:34that sound all right to you it's close enough i suppose so how did you feel when benjamin joined
20:43the police i mean it's a bit of a departure from your family business were you worried that he might
20:49find this discovering he got carlos sent to jail if carlos found out i'm not afraid of that boy but you
20:55made sure he never found out and he still doesn't know no when you're right i'd prefer to keep it
21:03that way what if you think it's me that killed benji my own son just to stop him finding out what a
21:11bad mother had been to his brother then you need to go and have a chat with yourselves but it's not just
21:17that is it if benjamin had found this and told his brother what you've done the words out and that
21:23wouldn't do your reputation much good at all and i think there's a whole bunch of people out there
21:26who'd feel very betrayed if they found out you glassed them up
21:37okay thanks darling i'll update the inspector now
21:43wherever he may be
21:44oh you know just goes off and does whatever yeah bye
21:56all three suspects alibis have checked out so if it was one of them that did it i guess we're left
22:01asking how is that helping sir what if all this is connected to a past case involving someone called
22:09maria some new evidence or a crime that was never solved and that's why benjamin was killed to stop
22:16him discovering what that was
22:2713 cases in total all involving a maria in some way plus a new set of station keys for you
22:35you want to share these out sir we'd be happy to get stuck in no you're all right i don't really
22:40know what it is i'm looking forward to be honest with you but thanks anyway okay have a good evening
22:47night sir night oh the commissioner wants you to know catherine's organizing a vigil
22:53tomorrow afternoon outside the station for the local community to remember benjamin of course i'll be
23:00there okay night night what the
23:23commissioner why am i looking at a case file with my mother's name on it
23:30i assume you would have asked or looked into your mother's death in some way
23:37what i just thought it was ill health or something i mean she wasn't old i know that
23:43i just didn't think it was worth finding out
23:46what no well something's happened to her right otherwise there wouldn't be a file in your police
23:51station with her name on it do you want me to tell you honestly i'd rather we just found a pub
24:00somewhere with some decent air con and maybe the football on but yeah i guess tell me
24:22it was an accident about four months ago your mother had been caring for her father for a while
24:31he had dementia when he eventually passed away she decided to scatter his ashes at sea so she took his
24:41boat that morning from this harbor and a storm came in hard and fast she was about a mile and a half out to sea in a small fishing boat she didn't she didn't stand a chance
25:03i'm sorry to see
25:10are you okay
25:17just feels a bit strange you know hearing someone talk about her
25:23makes her feel real is that a bad thing
25:29so what am i going to find in this file coroner's report holy statement uh post-mortem
25:44well pathologist was over from guadalupe one holiday however her name was maria duma
25:52uh that is why it came up in the search
25:59are there any photographs in it no i've checked
26:04uh

26:11okay that's um yeah um
26:18i'll um

26:37thank you
26:49thank you
26:51All right, Larry?
27:02Sorry, I mean Harry.
27:21Here 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 now.
27:48I know you guys have got one.
27:49I fancy 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 chuck that breakfast in your face or shall I?
28:09No.
28:12You got something for me?
28:14Last night I remembered something
28:16from when Officer Bryce came to the station
28:18the day before he was due to start work.
28:21He was shown around the place where his desk is
28:23and there were some papers he put in his desk drawer that day.
28:30An address?
28:31Times of the day?
28:33What are these?
28:35Ground 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 sense.
28:44Had already happened.
28:46Just 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 Sealy.
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,
29:08died of a heart attack that same night.
29:10So the handbag has been in our evidence store ever since.
29:13When we originally investigated,
29:17it was always suspected
29:18that Clendon committed the burglary
29:20on behalf of a third party.
29:23And there is one other set of fingerprints
29:25on 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
29:35at the house on Rue de Saint-Mar.
29:37And we think Officer Bryce, your stepson,
29:40is 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.
29:53Thanks.
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
30:04you're making there, Detective Sergeant.
30:06Let's start with the burglary.
30:08No one has ever accused me of that before now.
30:11I mean, are you actually arresting me for that?
30:19Not at the moment, no.
30:21It is not enough to arrest me on.
30:24It certainly doesn't seem like something worth killing over.
30:27Does it to you?
30:28It's not that simple, is it, Damon?
30:30And you know that.
30:31Because now we know what's what about the burglary,
30:34we'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 would have been in prison
31:31the 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,
31:49her sister's daughter's boyfriend is a prison officer.
31:52So, I called him and asked whether Carlos Bryce
31:55ever crossed paths with Clendon Sealy while he was inside.
31:59And it turns out that Carlos made a beeline for Clendon
32:03as soon as he arrived.
32:05Clearly wanting to make a friend of him.
32:07And do we know why?
32:08I'll tell you why.
32:12If 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?
32:21Yes, I admit, it's true.
32:23Me and Clendon looked out for each other when I was serving time,
32:26but 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, sir.
32:44Okay.
32:46What about the fact that we have evidence connecting your stepfather
32:49to the same burglary Clendon Sealy 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 where you want, but I'm telling you I'm not.
33:09What's he going over there for?
33:11I'm making some tea, which 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 know?
33:30No, we're done here.
33:31You can see yourself out.
33:35Right.
33:37Well, um...
33:39I appreciate you for giving me the chance to set the story straight.
33:46You all have a good evening now.
33:53You know, sir, I can't lie.
33:57I really enjoyed that.
33:59If your contact is right,
34:01and 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.
34:15And 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.
34:24We should head out.
34:26Come in, Inspector.
34:28It's the handbag.
34:29It's got to be the handbag.
34:31Officer Curtis,
34:32what do we know about Eudora James?
34:34She's local,
34:37a widow,
34:38wealthy,
34:39and
34:39a bit lonely, I gather.
34:42And the only thing currently at this station
34:43that was stolen from the house
34:44is the handbag, right?
34:46But there was nothing of value in it,
34:47so we put in the evidence wrong.
34:49Keys to the evidence store.
34:51Key to the evidence store.
34:54Please.
34:55There it is.
34:56There are no two ways about it.
35:20This is a sad and solemn day indeed
35:22for all of us.
35:24I know that many of you here
35:26never even got to meet
35:28Officer Benjamin Bryce.
35:30And although he was
35:31at the very start
35:33of his career,
35:34I have no doubt
35:36he would have made a fine officer
35:38who would have given
35:40his all
35:41to his community.
35:42I'd like us all now
36:05to share
36:07in a moment of silence
36:09in which we can honour
36:11and remember
36:13the deceased.
36:30Yeah, that doesn't sound good.
36:34He's turned the fun up to full,
36:35hasn't he?
36:41I think you're right.
37:04it was
37:06far where it was.
37:08Commissioner,
37:09I think the electric's gone.
37:11I mean, like, everything.
37:26Inspector.
37:26Inspector.
37:26The repairman can't get here
37:32for a couple of days,
37:33so I asked him
37:34to invoice you
37:35here of the Metropolitan Police,
37:38London.
37:39Hang on, it's not my fault
37:40you got a dodgy fan.
37:41If you had decent aircon
37:42fitted like everyone else
37:44in the world does,
37:44instead of some
37:45antique ceiling fan
37:46from the 1920s,
37:47I mean, all I did
37:48was turn the thing up
37:49a couple of knots
37:50and...
37:50Please,
37:58don't shut up,
38:02inspector.
38:08I don't mean to pry,
38:10but is the murder case
38:12linked to
38:13Eudora James' burglary?
38:15It's just,
38:16I knew her a little.
38:18For real?
38:18Yeah, she lived
38:19not far from me.
38:21She was elderly,
38:22so I kept an eye on her.
38:24What about the burglary?
38:25Do you know anything
38:26about that?
38:27Not much,
38:28but I was at the hospital
38:29with her
38:29and she passed.
38:31And did you speak with her?
38:32She was very confused,
38:34not herself.
38:35Although,
38:36she kept saying something
38:37about someone
38:38called Maria.
38:44She definitely said
38:45Maria.
38:48Yes.
38:50She was asking
38:51where Maria was.
38:53I didn't know
38:53who she meant.
38:55There's no one
38:55in her family
38:56called Maria.
38:57I knew it!
38:58The answer to all this
39:00lies inside
39:00Eudora James' handbag.
39:02A handbag?
39:03It's the only thing
39:04in this station
39:04that's connected
39:05to the burglary
39:06and the fact
39:07that she was talking
39:08about Maria
39:09that very night.
39:10Whoever killed
39:12Benjamin
39:12and broke
39:14into this station
39:15did it because
39:16of something
39:17to do
39:18with this handbag.
39:20You think
39:21there's something
39:21of value there?
39:24Nothing that I can see.
39:26Um,
39:27knitting needle
39:28and wool.
39:30Glasses case
39:31with glasses.
39:34Pillbox.
39:35Empty.
39:37Envelope.
39:39Empty.
39:41Shopping list
39:42on 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
39:58break into this station
39:59let alone
39:59commit murder
40:00for any of these items?
40:04Don't know, sir.
40:07I don't know.
40:08I don't know.
40:08Come on in.
40:37Officer Curtis.
40:38Yes, Thomas?
40:41Sergeant Hooper.
40:42This is unexpected.
40:43Yes, I have some meetings
40:44on San Marie
40:45so I thought I'd come in
40:46early to check in.
40:47See if we're any closer
40:48to finding Benjamin's killer.
40:50Um,
40:51not any closer
40:52I'm afraid, sir.
40:55Is the commissioner here?
40:56I thought I'd catch him.
40:58There's something
40:59that I need to talk to him about.
41:00He's actually on his way
41:01over now for an update.
41:03Actually,
41:05where's the inspector?
41:07This is what I mean.
41:09He always just
41:10goes off on his own
41:11and does whatever.
41:16Inspector,
41:17DS Thomas here,
41:18just wondering,
41:19where are you?
41:20So do you want to tell us
41:35how you're getting on
41:36with the case, sir?
41:37All three suspects
41:38have alibis.
41:40So if it was one of them
41:41that killed Benjamin,
41:42we don't know how they did it.
41:43We've still no idea
41:44what it was they were
41:45trying to steal from the station.
41:46And on top of that,
41:47we've no clue
41:48why Benjamin wrote
41:49Maria backwards
41:50before he died.
41:52Apart from that,
41:54swimmingly.
41:59Hang on.
42:02Boats have names.
42:04Uh,
42:05yes.
42:06The answer to all this
42:09lies inside
42:10Eudora James' handbag.
42:12If it was a boat,
42:13why would they
42:14break into the station?
42:15Because the boat
42:16was in the station.
42:18That's what they wanted.
42:19Envelope.
42:20Shopping list
42:21on the other side.
42:22Why would anyone
42:23want to break into
42:24this station
42:24for any of these items?
42:26Certainly doesn't seem
42:27like something
42:28worth killing over.
42:29But, Inspector,
42:30there are no boats
42:31inside our station.
42:32Yes, there is.
42:34100% there is.
42:35Just not the kind
42:36you're thinking of.
42:37Which leaves me
42:38asking one question.
42:39How?
42:40They think he must have
42:41banged his head
42:42on a rock.
42:43No helmet?
42:44Paulette
42:45got Carlos arrested.
42:46She grasped
42:47on her own son.
42:48He got six months
42:49in prison.
42:50Carlos was encroaching.
42:51I'm not denying
42:52that Clendon
42:53and I became
42:54acquaintances.
42:55One of them
42:55definitely did it.
42:57But whichever one
42:57it was,
42:58how can there be
42:59in two places
42:59at the exact same time?
43:01I was having
43:02breakfast on my veranda.
43:04I was with my girl.
43:05I was there
43:05for a delivery.
43:06Anyway,
43:07I wanted to cancel it
43:08but I forgot
43:08the UK are ahead.
43:10That's how.
43:12Sir?
43:16Officer Curtis,
43:18I want you to go
43:19and get a search warrant.
43:20For what about suspects?
43:21Someone else.
43:22DS Thomas,
43:22we need to go
43:23and get some fingerprints
43:24checked and I need
43:25to make a phone call
43:25to a guy I know
43:26in Kentish Town.
43:27He'll say for definite
43:28if I'm right about this.
43:30Right about what
43:30and what guy?
43:31And where is Kentish Town?
43:33London,
43:34where do you think?
43:44You've come over
43:45to our ways
43:45of doing things then?
43:47Not really,
43:48no.
43:49I'd still rather
43:50just write it up
43:51but I don't seem
43:52to have much of a choice,
43:52do I?
43:58Inspector.
43:58Inspector.
44:00Okay.
44:11I'm going to start
44:12by making a statement
44:13of fact.
44:14That Benjamin Bryce,
44:16had he been given
44:16the chance,
44:17would have excelled
44:18at being a police officer.
44:20Sergeant Hooper
44:21was bang on the money
44:23when he recruited him
44:24all those months ago.
44:25He saw something in him
44:26and now I see it too.
44:29And how do I know this?
44:31Because Officer Benjamin Bryce
44:33was smart.
44:35I mean,
44:35really smart.
44:36And even under immense pressure,
44:38he was able
44:39to keep his cool
44:39and let his brain
44:41do the work.
44:42This is a message
44:48Benjamin left for us.
44:50Arum.
44:51It's actually Maria
44:52written backwards
44:54in the mud.
44:55Nah,
44:55we've been all around
44:56the houses
44:57trying to work out
44:57what this meant
44:58but now,
44:59finally,
45:00we know.
45:01And it all comes back
45:03to the contents
45:03of Eudora James'
45:04handbag
45:05that was taken
45:06in the robbery.
45:09Is that a shopping list?
45:11Yeah,
45:11you're right,
45:11it is.
45:12Scribbled on the back
45:13of an envelope.
45:14But you already know
45:15that,
45:15don't you?
45:17You all do.
45:19And you also know
45:20what's on the other side.
45:23This
45:23St. Marie stamp.
45:26It's old.
45:281930s
45:28to be more accurate.
45:29I had to phone
45:29a mate of mine
45:30who knows more
45:30about these things
45:31to confirm my suspicions.
45:33You see,
45:34when I first saw this,
45:35I thought it was
45:36just upside down.
45:38But it wasn't.
45:39It's the image
45:40of the boat
45:41in the centre
45:42of 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.
45:49The last one
45:49that came up
45:50for 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,
45:57it's called
45:57the Inverted Maria.
45:59And that's why
46:00Benjamin wrote
46:01Maria
46:01inverted
46:03in the mud.
46:04He knew
46:04it wouldn't quite
46:05make sense
46:06at first.
46:07But he trusted
46:08that we,
46:09his fellow police officers,
46:11would not only realise
46:12that this wasn't
46:13the name of his killer,
46:15but that we would
46:16pursue this case
46:17doggedly,
46:17as we do,
46:18until we worked out
46:19what he was trying
46:20to tell us.
46:22That this extremely
46:24valuable antique stamp
46:25was in the evidence store,
46:28sitting in your
46:28daughter's handbag
46:29at our very own
46:30police station
46:31in Honorary.
46:33Paulette,
46:34I think this whole
46:35thing started with you.
46:36Because having now
46:37dusted this envelope
46:38for fingerprints,
46:39guess what?
46:40We found yours on it.
46:42Now,
46:43we'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
46:48Eudora James
46:49was a widow,
46:51wealthy,
46:52and a bit lonely.
46:53And so we think
46:54you inveigled
46:56your way
46:57into her life.
46:58Maybe not fully sure
46:59when you'd get
47:00some money off her,
47:01but once you
47:03gained her trust,
47:04we think
47:04she confided in you
47:06about this stamp.
47:08And that's when
47:09your plan was formed.
47:11Together,
47:12you and Damon
47:13recruited
47:14Clendon Seeley,
47:15an experienced burglar,
47:17to steal the stamp
47:18from her handbag.
47:19But that all went south.
47:21When Eudora James
47:22woke up,
47:23called the police,
47:25and Clendon Seeley
47:26was arrested
47:26shortly after.
47:28That's why
47:29you arranged
47:30for Carlos
47:31to go to prison,
47:32to put pressure
47:32on Clendon Seeley
47:33to reveal where
47:34that handbag
47:35containing that
47:36valuable stamp
47:37had ended up.
47:38And then an opportunity
47:40presented itself,
47:40didn't it,
47:41to act on the information
47:42Clendon had given you,
47:44to make you
47:44a little fortune.
47:46And you're the inside man
47:47from the family
47:48who had just started
47:49training as a police officer.
47:51I was about to start
47:52work at 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 an old envelope, right?
48:05No big deal.
48:06No one's gonna notice it missing.
48:08All those years of assuming
48:09he was okay
48:10with the way you lived,
48:11it never occurred to you
48:12that he wanted something
48:13different from his life.
48:14I mean, yeah,
48:18he was in a police uniform now.
48:20But would he really
48:21feel any different?
48:22You're his family after all.
48:24Well,
48:25he did
48:25because he had chosen
48:26a different path to follow.
48:28So when you had asked him
48:29to help you out,
48:30you weren't expecting
48:30his response.
48:32No!
48:33I'm not going to do that.
48:35Okay,
48:35I'm not doing what 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 in their station.
48:50And so now,
48:51all three of you
48:52were faced with the fact
48:53you were going to be arrested
48:54the next day
48:55for conspiracy
48:56to commit burglary
48:57and for perverting
48:58the course of justice.
49:00But only one of you
49:01went as far as committing murder
49:03to stop that from happening.
49:06And that was you, Carlos.
49:08What are you talking about?
49:15That is crazy.
49:16And I think you did it
49:17because you'd done more
49:18than 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 of a sacrifice, right?
49:26And now all of it
49:27was going to go to waste.
49:29All 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?
49:38Yeah, you see,
49:41your alibi, Carlos,
49:42I realised it was
49:44the 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 to us
49:59she set the night before.
50:00But I think you
50:03adjusted her clock,
50:04putting it back
50:0515 minutes
50:05while she was asleep.
50:08This dumb,
50:10knowing exactly
50:11what 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
50:20ready for the alarm
50:21to sound.
50:22The timer's actually
50:238 o'clock now,
50:24but her alarm clock
50:25said 7.45.
50:27I assume
50:27while she showered
50:28you reset the clock
50:29to the correct time.
50:30She was unaware
50:31that she 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.
50:46But we do have this.
50:48You see,
50:49it 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
51:03check this 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
51:13stop him from 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'd died
51:41of a head injury.
51:42Why, Carlos?
51:49Why you do that?
51:51Just...
51:52Give it back!
51:57Hold it.
51:58Hold it.
51:59Hold it.
51:59Hold it.
52:00I do, Damon.
52:01Sergeant Hooper,
52:08you can make
52:08the final arrest.
52:11Thank 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
52:25do it.
52:45This station
52:45has seen some action
52:46the last few days.
52:48Still standing, though.
52:50And it's only
52:51made out of wood.
52:52What?
52:54Sorry, I was just
52:54checking the next flight
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
53:03darling at Catherine's.
53:04No, you're all right.
53:05Got stuff to do.
53:07So I guess
53:07this is goodbye, then?
53:10Yeah, 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.
53:23For real?
53:23Well, good for you.
53:25There's a few DS's
53:26back in London
53:26can do with
53:27taking 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.
53:37Yeah, hello.
53:41Yeah, I just saw
53:41there was a flight
53:42to London tomorrow,
53:43five o'clock.
53:47Yeah, I want to get
53:48back as soon as possible.
53:50Yeah, that's great.
53:53And you'll email
53:53the tickets over tonight,
53:54yeah?
53:57Great.
54:29I'm pleased that
54:41justice has 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.
54:54What does it mean
54:56I don't feel?
54:58I know.
55:06I'll be a minute or so.
55:08Thanks.
55:12Sergeant Hooper,
55:13I thought you had a
55:14plane to catch.
55:15Yes, I do.
55:17But I wondered if I could
55:18have a chat with you.
55:19Have you got some time, sir?
55:20Yes, yes, of course.
55:23So, uh,
55:24there are some things
55:25that I found out about
55:26at the headquarters
55:27back in Jamaica.
55:28You know, they loop me
55:29into some of these things,
55:30you know.
55:32Look, I shouldn't really
55:33be saying any of this, sir,
55:34but after everything
55:35you've done for me,
55:36I feel it would be wrong
55:37if I did not.
55:40They are looking to change
55:41some things here.
55:44Streamlining.
55:44And your position,
55:47Commissioner?
55:50They're going to
55:50dissolve it, sir.
55:54I'm really, really
55:55sorry, sir.
56:04Yeah, yes, sir.
56:06Um,
56:07um,
56:09uh, thank you.
56:11Thank you for letting me
56:13know.
56:14I, I, I, I really
56:15appreciate it.
56:18Uh, uh,
56:18go, go, go, yeah.
56:21You've got to blame the
56:21catch.
56:22Go.
56:22Go, go, go, go, go, go.
56:32How can I help?
56:35Uh, uh,
56:37sorry.
56:38What did you just see?
56:42The file you gave me
56:43on my mother.
56:46I don't think her death
56:47was an accident.
56:54They're filming a game
56:55show called Island Warrior.
56:58Right in the middle of
56:59you filming your TV game
57:01show, someone murders
57:02one of your contestants.
57:03Why do it so publicly?
57:05That's him, Ben.
57:07The one dressed as a
57:08pineapple.
57:09You can call me in, man.
57:11JP just called.
57:12He told me about your job.
57:14What are you going to do?
57:15We are looking into the
57:16possibility that Dawn
57:17and Bray's death might not
57:18been an accident.
57:19Go.
57:20That's a go.
57:21This really isn't
57:22come.
57:23Whoa, whoa.
