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.
04:24Rue de la Forestière is definitely wearing a police uniform.
04:25Rue de la Forestière is definitely wearing a police uniform.

04:27Rue de la Forestière is definitely wearing a police uniform.
04:28Rue de la Forestière is definitely wearing a police uniform.
04:29Rue de la Forestière is definitely wearing a police uniform.

04:36Rue de la Forestière.
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.
09:39Hi, guys.
09:41Thanks.
09:45Hi.
09:47Hi.
09:48Hi.
09:50Hi.
09:53Hi.
09:53Hi.
09:55Hi.
09:56Hi.
09:57Hi.
09:58Hi.
09:58Hi.
10:08Thank you for joining us, Officer Hooper.
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 had a strained relationship with him,
10:27and they quite frankly hated that he joined the police.
10:31How are you doing?
10:32Sorry, Commissioner.
10:33Yes, Tomas.
10:35All of this has thrown me.
10:37I only met Benjamin yesterday for the first time, J.P.,
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.
11:02I saw him.
11:03He was all dressed up in that uniform you gave him.
11:06And 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,
11:27and we need to make sure you can all be accounting 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 seven.
11:44Until gone eight.
11:54I was with my girl.
11:55She confirmed.
11:56Long went off, quarter to eight.
11:58She had to get up for work.
11:59So 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.
12:11You 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.
12:33I'm afraid he's back.
12:37Is that the commissioner?
12:38Mm-hmm.
12:39Quit him on speakerphone.
12:42Maybe 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, please.
12:55Could you get the commissioner on speakerphone?
12:58Mm-hmm.
12:58Commissioner, your man, Officer Bryce.
13:04I think he left a little message.
13:07Here I am.
13:08It's Maria.
13:10Backwards.
13:10Oh, um, Sergeant J.P. Hooper.
13:29I recruited Benjamin.
13:32All right, yeah.
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.
13:44No on his social media either.
13:46Yeah, well, I'm heading back to Jamaica.
13:47I can drop by, check in with the family,
13:49see 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, okay?
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
14:40is somebody else was there
14:42and he didn't want them to see it.
14:45Which makes me think more than ever
14:46that Officer Bryce was murdered.
14:49Yeah.
14:50Someone hit him over the head,
14:51then staged it to look like an accident.
14:53So if we're going to work out
14:55who killed him and why,
14:57I think in some way
14:58Benjamin Bryce has already given us the answer.
15:05Sorry.
15:05You just said
15:08we?
15:13Yeah, I did just say that, didn't I?
15:15Well, I've missed my flight now.
15:17But I'm here.
15:18So does that mean
15:20that you're actually going to stay
15:21and help us solve the case, sir?
15:24Yes, I am.
15:42No, no, sir, it's all good.
15:44Yeah, I reckon just a few more days,
15:45the case will be solved
15:46and 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
15:56a bit longer then?
15:57Yeah, looks like it.
15:59But that's made your day, hasn't it?
16:02Actually, I'm glad you're giving us
16:05your time on this.
16:06Officer Bryce deserves all we can give him.
16:08Yeah, well,
16:11he was a police officer,
16:12one of us, right?
16:14That matters.
16:16Anyway,
16:17on the upside,
16:18I get to spend a bit more time
16:20with Larry.
16:24I'm sorry, who?
16:26It's just this lizard
16:27that 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?
16:38Harry.
16:38Harry?
16:40Harry.
16:41You don't think Larry
16:42has a better ring to it?
16:43Larry the lizard
16:44sounds more like
16:45a children's cartoon character,
16:47don't you think?
16:48If you say so.
16:48It's not just me,
16:49like, everyone calls him Harry.
16:51Everyone.
16:53All right, then.
16:55Harry it is.
16:56Glad we got that ironed out.
16:58Well, I'll see you tomorrow, then.
17:00Who calls a lizard Harry?
17:02I'll see you tomorrow.
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 guy 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 hello, you still there?
17:57Everything all right, sir?
17:58I placed a supermarket order online.
18:01You know what that is, right?
18:02Of course.
18:03We 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 stopping-
18:08You 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?
18:17What the-
18:25Darlene, when did this happen?
18:40Last night after choir practice.
18:42The pastor was returning to his car when he noticed torchlight in 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? To Officer Bryce's murder?
19:05More than that. I'd say it's actually starting to make some sense.
19:09How 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. Someone made sure he never arrived,
19:15which makes me think there's something right here in 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.
19:25So they broke in and tried to take it, whatever it is.
19:29I might know what that could be.
19:32So, the intruder was searching through hard copies of the evidence file.
19:40Duane mentioned an informant that they used to use.
19:47Officer Bryce's mum was a grass.
19:49Mm-hmm.
19:50She used to give information on local criminals.
19:52But 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 sum.
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 sum?
20:13He 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.
20:38So, how did you feel when Benjamin joined the police?
20:44I mean, it's a bit of a departure from your family business.
20:48Were you worried that he might find us, discovering he 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.
21:02I'd prefer to keep it that way.
21:04But if you think it's me that killed Benji?
21:07My own son.
21:09Just to stop him finding out what a bad mother had been to his brother.
21:13Then 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.
21:23And 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 found out you glassed them up.
21:30Okay.
21:37Thanks, Darlene.
21:39I'll update the inspector now.
21:43Wherever he may be.
21:44All three suspects' alibis have checked out.
21:58So if it was one of them that did it, I guess we're left asking how.
22:02Is that helping, sir?
22:06What if all this is connected to a past case involving someone called Maria?
22:10Some 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.
22:17Thirteen 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 being 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 organising a vigil tomorrow afternoon outside the station for the local community.
22:57Do you remember Benjamin?
22:58Of course.
22:59I'll be there.
23:00Okay.
23:01Night.
23:01Night.
23:11What the?
23:17Commissioner?
23:18Why am I looking at a case file with my mother's name on it?
23:27I assume you would have asked or looked into your mother's death in some way.
23:37Well, I just thought it was ill health or something.
23:40I mean, she wasn't old.
23:42I know that.
23:43I just didn't think it was worth finding out.
23:46What, no?
23:48Well, something's happened to her, right?
23:49Otherwise, there wouldn't be a file in your police station with her name on it.
23:55They 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.
24:07Tell me.
24:21It was an accident.
24:25About four months ago, your mother had been caring for her father for a while.
24:31He had dementia.
24:32When he eventually passed away, she decided to scatter his ashes at sea.
24:40So, she took his boat that morning from this harbour and...
24:49A storm came in hard and fast.
24:55She was about a mile and a half out to sea in a small fishing boat.
25:00But she didn't...
25:01She didn't stand a chance.
25:05I'm sorry to see.
25:10Are you okay?
25:14Hmm?
25:14It just feels a bit strange, you know?
25:22Hearing 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?
25:40Coroner's report, holy statement, post-mortem.
25:44The pathologist was over from Guadalupe on holiday.
25:48The pathologist was over from Guadalupe on holiday.
25:49She was about to take cover.
25:50Her name was...
25:52Maria Dumas.
25:53That is why it came out in the search.
25:59Are there any photographs in her?
26:00Oh, I've checked
26:04Right then
26:09Okay
26:11That's, um, yeah, um
26:15I'll, um
26:19Leave you to your evening, yeah?
26:24Thank you
26:30Thank you
27:00All right, Larry
27:02Sorry, I mean, Harry
27:06Here you go, sir
27:29Oh, cheers, mate
27:31Morning, Inspector
27:42Sorry to interrupt your breakfast
27:44No, no, it's all good
27:45Just trying out this new online delivery service
27:48Now I know you guys have got one
27:49Fancy the bacon sarnie
27:51Oh, hang on
27:54What 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
28:02This ain't bacon bacon
28:03Do you want to chuck that breakfast in your face
28:07Or shall I?
28:09No
28:09You 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
28:20He was shown around the place, he was shown around the place where his desk is
28:23And there were some papers he put in his desk drawer that day
28:29An address
28:31Times of the day
28:32What are these?
28:35Graham plans to a property?
28:37These are plans for some kind of burglary or robbery
28:38Exactly that
28:40Benjamin had discovered a robbery was about to take place
28:43Past cents had already happened
28:45Just over a year ago
28:47Some jewellery, cash and a handbag was taken
28:49The perpetrator was arrested
28:51An all-time criminal called Clendon Seeley
28:54Mm-hmm, go on
28:55We've got the handbag back
28:57Nothing of value was in it
28:59But the cash and jewellery was never recovered
29:01It was worth about, what?
29:03$2,000?
29:04Tragically
29:05The homeowner, Eudora James
29:07Died of a heart attack
29:09That same night
29:10So the handbag has been in our evidence store
29:12Ever since
29:13When we originally investigated
29:16It was always suspected
29:18That Clendon committed the burglary on behalf of a third party
29:22And
29:24There is one other set of fingerprints on those documents
29:26Apart from Benjamin's
29:28What 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
29:40Is going to raise this with us
29:42And that's why I killed him
29:43To stop him from reporting me
29:45Take a seat
29:48I'll stand, thanks
29:53Firstly
29:54I wouldn't do that
29:56I always got on with Ben
29:59And he, I think he liked me
30:01And secondly
30:02There's some big leaps you're making there, Detective Sergeant
30:06Let's start with the burglary
30:07No one has ever accused me of that before now
30:11I mean
30:13Are you actually arresting me for that?
30:19Not at the moment, no
30:21If there's not enough to arrest me on
30:23It 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
30:35Got an officer back at the station doing just that as we speak
30:39And in time
30:40I'm sure more evidence will accrue
30:43Because you know what?
30:45It always does
30:46And at that point
30:47I'd be worried if I were you
30:49Just had the police round
31:09Something tells me they're going to be heading your way very soon
31:13All right, Antoine
31:16Thank you for all your help
31:19Inspector
31:20Sarge, that's good timing
31:23Now, I was looking into the burglary
31:27And I realised that Carlos Bryce
31:30Would have been in prison the same time as Clendon Sealy
31:32Now, there may not be anything in that
31:35Maybe there is
31:36There definitely is
31:39And it's juicy
31:40I mean, real juicy
31:42Go on
31:44So
31:46The woman who does my nails, Fabian
31:49Her sister's daughter's boyfriend is a prison officer
31:51So
31:52I called him and asked whether Carlos Bryce ever crossed paths with Clendon Sealy while he was inside
31:58And it turns out
32:00That Carlos made a beeline for Clendon as 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
32:09If you want
32:12There'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
32:25But me never seek out his friendship like some say
32:28The thing just happened
32:29My 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, that'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
32:45What about the fact that we have evidence connecting your stepfather to 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
32:58Why are you saying that for, man?
33:01Because when people lie, they either say too much or too little
33:03You're saying diddly squat
33:04Well, you can think where you want
33:06But I'm telling you I'm not
33:07What's he going over there for?
33:11I'm making some tea
33:12Which is better use of my time than talking to you
33:14Is 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
33:25There was nothing more to it than that
33:26Now, is there anything more that you know?
33:30No, we're done here
33:30You can see yourself out
33:32Right
33:36Well, um
33:38I appreciate you
33:43For giving me the chance to, uh
33:45Set the story straight
33:46You all have a good evening now
33:48You know, sir
33:54I can't lie
33:56I really enjoyed that
33:59If your contact is right
34:00And there was something Carlos wanted from Clendon Sealy
34:03It's got to be connected to the Eudora James burglary, right?
34:06Then
34:06It 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
34:17Hardly worth the risk
34:19And this heat doesn't help
34:21Ah, people are gathering for the virtual
34:24We should head out
34:25Come in, Inspector
34:27It's the handbag
34:29It's got to be the handbag
34:30Now, Officer Curtis
34:32What do we know about Eudora James?
34:35She's local
34:37A widow
34:37Wealthy
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 room
34:48Keys to the evidence store
34:50Key to the evidence store
34:52Please
34:54There it is
34:57There are no two ways about it
35:20This is a sad and solemn day indeed
35:23For all of us
35:24I know that many of you here
35:26Never even got to meet
35:28Officer Benjamin Bryce
35:29And although
35:30He was at 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
36:16Yeah, that doesn't sound good
36:32He's turned the fun up to full
36:35Hasn't he?
36:36I think you're right
36:50I think you're right
37:04It was
37:06Fire where it was
37:07Commissioner
37:08I think the electric's gone
37:10I mean like everything
37:12Inspector
37:26Inspector
37:26The repairman can't get here
37:32For a couple of days
37:33So I asked him to invoice you
37:36Here of the Metropolitan Police
37:38London
37:38Hang on, it's not my fault
37:40You've got a dodgy fan
37:41If you had decent aircon
37:42Fitted like everyone else
37:43In 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
37:58Do
38:00Shut up
38:01Inspector
38:02I don't mean to
38:09Pry
38:10But is the murder case
38:12Linked to
38:13Eudora James' burglary
38:14It's just
38:16I knew her
38:16A little
38:17For real?
38:19Yeah, she lived
38:19Not far from me
38:20She was elderly
38:21So I kept an eye on her
38:23What about the burglary?
38:25Do you know anything about that?
38:27Not much
38:27But I was at the hospital
38:29With her
38:29And she passed
38:30And did you speak with her?
38:32She was very confused
38:33Not herself
38:35Although
38:36She kept saying something
38:37About someone called Maria
38:39She definitely said
38:45Maria
38:46Yes
38:49She was asking
38:51Where Maria was
38:52I didn't know who she meant
38:54There's no one in her family
38:56Called Maria
38:56I knew it
38:57The 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
39:12Then broke
39:14Into this station
39:15Did it because
39:16Of something
39:17To do
39:18With this handbag
39:19You think
39:21There's something
39:21Of value there?
39:24Nothing that I can see
39:25Um
39:26Knitting needle
39:28And wool
39:29Glasses case
39:31With glasses
39:32Pillbox
39:34Empty
39:35Envelope
39:37Empty
39:39Shopping list
39:42On the other side
39:42Purse
39:46Also empty
39:48Hair clip
39:50Old photo
39:52Oh
39:52It's her husband
39:54He passed before her
39:56Why would anyone
39:58Break into this station
39:59Let alone
39:59Comet murder
40:00For any of these items?
40:04Don't know sir
40:04I don't know
40:18Come on in
40:37Officer Curtis
40:38Yes Thomas
40:39Sergeant Hooper
40:41This is unexpected
40:43Yes I have some meetings
40:44On San Marie
40:45So I thought
40:46I'd come in early
40:46To check in
40:47See if we're any closer
40:48To finding
40:48Benjamin's killer
40:49Um
40:50Not any closer
40:52I'm afraid sir
40:53Is the commissioner here?
40:56I thought I'd catch him
40:57There's something
40:59That I need to talk
40:59To him about
41:00He's actually
41:01On his way over now
41:02For an update
41:02Actually
41:04Where's the inspector?
41:07This is what I mean
41:09He always just
41:10Goes off on his own
41:11And does whatever
41:12Inspector
41:17DS Thomas here
41:18Just wondering
41:19Where are you?
41:34So do you want to tell us
41:35How you're getting on
41:36With the case sir?
41:37All three suspects
41:38Have alibis
41:39So if it was one of them
41:41That killed Benjamin
41:42We don't know
41:43How they did it
41:43We've still no idea
41:44What it was
41:45They were trying to
41:45Steal 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
41:50Apart from that
41:53Swimmingly
41:55Hang on
42:00Boats have names
42:04Uh
42:05Yes
42:06The answer to all
42:09This lies inside
42:10Eudora James
42:11Is his handbag
42:12If it was a boat
42:13Why would they break
42:14Into the station?
42:15Because the boat
42:16Was in the station
42:17That's what they wanted
42:19Envelope
42:19Shopping list
42:21On the other side
42:22Why would anyone
42:23Want to break
42:23Into this station
42:24For any of these items?
42:26Certainly doesn't seem
42:27Like something worth
42:28Killing over
42:29But inspector
42:30There are no boats
42:31Inside our station
42:32Yes there is
42:33100% there is
42:35Just not the kind
42:36You're thinking of
42:36Which leaves me
42:38Asking one question
42:39How?
42:40They think he must have
42:41Banged his head on a rock
42:42No helmet?
42:44Paulette
42:45Got Carlos arrested
42:46She grasped on her own son
42:48He got six months
42:49In prison
42:50Carlos was encroaching
42:51I'm not denying
42:52That Clendon and I
42:53Became acquaintances
42:54One of them
42:55Definitely did it
42:56But whichever one it was
42:58How can there be
42:59In two places
42:59At the exact same time?
43:01I was having breakfast
43:02On my veranda
43:03I was with my girl
43:05I was there
43:05For a delivery
43:06Anyway I wanted to cancel it
43:08But I forgot the UK are ahead
43:09That's how
43:11Sir?
43:16Officer Curtis
43:17I want you to go
43:19And get a search warrant
43:19For what about suspects?
43:21Someone else
43:21DS Thomas
43:22We need to go
43:23And get some fingerprints checked
43:24And I need to 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
43:29Right about what
43:30And what guy?
43:31And where is Kentish town?
43:33London
43:33Where do you think?
43:44You've come over
43:45To our ways of doing things then?
43:47Not really, no
43:48I'd still rather just write it up
43:51But I don't seem to have
43:52Much of a choice, do I?
43:58Inspector
43:59Okay
44:09I'm going to start by making
44:12A statement of fact
44:13That Benjamin Bryce
44:15Had he been given the chance
44:17Would have excelled
44:18At being a police officer
44:19Sergeant 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
44:28And how do I know this?
44:31Because officer Benjamin Bryce
44:33Was smart
44:34I mean, really smart
44:36And even under immense pressure
44:37He was able to 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
44:54Nah
44:55We've been all around the houses
44:57Trying to work out
44:57What this meant
44:58But now
44:58Finally
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
45:06Is that the shopping list?
45:11Yeah, you're right
45:11It is
45:12Scribbled on the back
45:13Of an envelope
45:13But you already know
45:15That, don't you?
45:17You all do
45:18And you also know
45:20What's on the other side?
45:23This
45:23Saint Marie stamp
45:25It's old
45:271930s
45:28To 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
45:37But it wasn't
45:39It's the image
45:40Of the boat
45:41In the centre of the stamp
45:42That was upside down
45:43It's a misprint
45:44Only five of them
45:46Were ever issued
45:47All by mistake
45:48The last one
45:49That came up for 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
45:58And that's why
46:00Benjamin
46:00Wrote Maria
46:01Inverted
46:03In the mud
46:03He knew
46:04It wouldn't quite
46:05Make sense at first
46:06But 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
46:14But 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
46:21That this extremely valuable
46:24Antique stamp
46:25Was in the evidence store
46:27Sitting in Eudora's handbag
46:29At our very own police station
46:31In Honorary
46:32Paulette
46:33I 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
46:41Now 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
46:48Eudora James
46:49Was a widow
46:51Wealthy
46:51And 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
47:02Once you get into her trust
47:03We think
47:04She confided in you
47:06About this stamp
47:07And that's when
47:09Your plan was formed
47:10Together
47:11You and Damon
47:13Recruited Clendon Seeley
47:15An experienced burglar
47:16To steal the stamp
47:18From her handbag
47:18But that all went south
47:20When your daughter
47:21James woke up
47:22Called the police
47:24And Clendon Seeley
47:26Was arrested shortly after
47:27That'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
47:40Presented itself
47:40Didn't it
47:41To act on the information
47:42Clendon had given you
47:43To make your little fortune
47:45And you're the inside man
47:47From the family
47:48Who had just started training
47:49As a police officer
47:50I 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 favour
47:59To go into their evidence store
48:01And get that envelope
48:02I mean it was just
48:04An old envelope right
48:05No big deal
48:06No one's gonna notice
48:07It missing
48:07All those years
48:09Of assuming he 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
48:19But would he really
48:21Feel any different
48:21You were his family
48:23After all
48:23Well
48:24He did
48:25Because he had chosen
48:26A different path to follow
48:27So when you had asked him
48:29To help you out
48:29You weren't expecting
48:31His response
48:31No
48:32I'm not going to do that
48:34Okay I'm not doing
48:35What you want anymore
48:36What
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 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 from happening
49:04And that was you Carlos
49:07What 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
49:20Spending a six month
49:22Prison sentence
49:23Just to find out
49:24Where it was
49:24That's a heck of a sacrifice
49:26Right
49:26And how all of it
49:27Was going to go to waste
49:29All of that
49:29Just to end up
49:30Back inside again
49:31How could it be me
49:33When I was with my girl
49:35At her home
49:35When it happened
49:36Yeah
49:40You see
49:40Your alibi Carlos
49:42I realised
49:43It was the only one
49:44That could be faked
49:45We know
49:47That 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
49:59She set the night before
50:00But I think
50:02You adjusted her clock
50:03Putting it back
50:0515 minutes
50:05While she was asleep
50:07This done
50:09Knowing exactly
50:10What time
50:11Benjamin
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
50:26I 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
50:32But it was just enough
50:35Of a time delay
50:36For 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
50:42Nothing will ever prove
50:43That that actually happened
50:45But we do have this
50:47You 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
50:56We've just been
50:57To your girlfriend's flat
50:58We found this
50:59In the rubbish
51:00Now
51:00We haven't had time yet
51:02But we're going to
51:03Check this for fingerprints
51:04And I'm sure
51:05We'll find yours on it
51:06Carlos
51:07You set out
51:08To meet your own brother
51:09Officer Benjamin Bryce
51:11Because 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
51:28And that's why
51:34He brought a rock
51:35Down on his head
51:36And killed him
51:37Taking his helmet
51:39To sell the lie
51:40That he died
51:41Of a head injury
51:42Why Carlos
51:48Why you do that
51:49You're
51:52Stop
51:52Give it
51:53Die
51:53Hold it
51:58Hold it
51:58Hold it
51:59I do
52:01Your name on
52:02Sergeant Hooper
52:07If you make the final arrest
52:09Thank you very much
52:12Inspector
52:12Carlos Bryce
52:16I'm arresting you
52:17For the murder
52:20Of Officer Benjamin Bryce
52:21You do not have to say anything
52:23But it may harm your defence
52:25If you do not judge
52:25Thank you
52:32This station has seen so much
52:46In the last few days
52:47Still standing though
52:49And it's only made out of wood
52:51What?
52:54Sorry
52:54I was just checking the next flight
52:55Back to London
52:56When are you leaving us?
52:58Tomorrow afternoon
52:59Looks like
53:00And say farewell there
53:02I'm meeting darling
53:03At Catherine's
53:04No you alright
53:05Got stuff to do
53:06So I guess
53:07This is goodbye then?
53:10Yeah I guess it is
53:11I suppose you're gonna be
53:13Putting your name down
53:14For the next DI
53:14Now I'm gone
53:15Um
53:16At some point
53:18But not yet
53:20I feel like
53:21There's still a few more things
53:22I need to learn
53:22For real?
53:23Well good for you
53:24There's a few DS's
53:26Back in London
53:26Can do with taking that approach
53:28Oh wow

53:35Yeah

54:28I'm pleased that justice has been done.
54:43Both for Benjamin and Eudora.
54:46They deserve it.
54:48But...
54:49It doesn't make it any less, sir.
54:53You're an old-handed place.
54:55Doesn't mean I don't feel it.
54:58I know.
55:06I'll be a minute or so.
55:08Thanks.
55:12Sergeant Hooper, I thought you had a plane to catch.
55:15Yes, I do.
55:17But I wondered if I could have a chat with you.
55:19Have you got some time, sir?
55:20Yes, yes, of course.
55:23So, uh, there are some things that I found out about
55:26at the headquarters back in Jamaica.
55:28You know, they looped me into some of these things, you know?
55:32Look, I shouldn't really be saying any of this, sir,
55:34but after everything you've done for me,
55:36I feel it would be wrong if I did not.
55:38They are looking to change some things here.
55:44Streamlining.
55:45And your position, Commissioner?
55:50They're going to dissolve it, sir.
55:54I'm really, really sorry, sir.
55:55Yeah, yes, sir.
56:06Um, um, uh, thank you.
56:12Thank you for letting me know.
56:14I, I, I, I really appreciate it.
56:17Go, go, go, yeah.
56:20You've got to plane to catch.
56:22Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
56:32How can I help?
56:35Uh, uh, sorry.
56:40What did you just see?
56:42The file you gave me on my mother.
56:44I don't think her death was an accident.
56:54They're filming a game show called Island Warrior.
56:58Right in the middle of you filming your TV game show,
57:01someone murders one of your contestants.
57:03Why do it so publicly?
57:05That's him, Ben.
57:07The one dressed as a pineapple.
57:09You can call me in, man.
57:11JP just called.
57:12He told me about your job.
57:13What are you going to do?
57:15We are looking into the possibility that Dawn of Bray's death
57:18might not have been an accident.
57:19Go.
57:20That's a go.
57:21This really isn't coming.
57:23Whoa, whoa.
