Transcript
00:00I think that's my mother's house. I've never met her.
00:02Donna passed away. A few months back it was.
00:05It was an accident. A storm came in.
00:08This is Donna, bro. A vaccine!
00:11She was talking about scattering her dad's ashes just on the beach out here.
00:15Well, if that's true, why did she then decide to scatter them out at sea instead?
00:18Has Selwyn told you about what's happening tomorrow?
00:21The person taking over from him arrives.
00:24I wish you the very best for everything you do.
00:26The commissioner gave me the go-ahead to reopen my mom's case.
00:29I've already been down the harbour, putting up posters, asking any new witnesses to come forward.
00:34The thing that really gets me with this, why would anyone want her dead?
00:36The secret is done.
00:54It's not right, is it?
01:24It's not right, is it?
01:54It'll be all right.
02:24It's not right, is it?
02:25It's not right.
02:26It's not right.
02:27It's not right.
02:28It's not right.
02:29It's not right.
02:30It's not right.
02:31It's not right.
02:32I don't know where I am.
02:33I have a master.
02:34This is Donna Braves.
02:36I'm at sea.
02:37I need your help.
02:39No.
02:40What are your coordinates?
02:41I have no details.
02:43There's no lattice fight.
02:45I don't know where I am.
02:47Hello?
02:49Hello?
02:50Hello, mix?
03:03Well let's go.
03:05Thanks, everybody.
03:09Thanks, Hamburgs.
03:14Alright, we are now in recharge mode.
04:00So this case, the inspector's mother, must be really tough for him.
04:07I reckon it must.
04:09I really want to help him solve it.
04:12It's just, all we know is that she drowned at sea.
04:18There's no weapon, no suspect, no paramotive.
04:26Mm-hmm.
04:27So what exactly are we searching her house for?
04:32You know what?
04:34I'm not entirely sure myself.
04:37But maybe we'll know when we find it.
04:40Mrs. Clementson, we're moving forward with the investigation into Donald's death, so we might have some more questions.
04:47Oh, sorry.
04:48Um, sorry.
04:52So, you really think that someone might have killed her?
04:58We're working on that basis.
05:00Well, then, whatever questions you got, you feel free to ask.
05:04Sarge, I've got the inspector on the line.
05:07He wants to speak with you.
05:08Said you're not answering your phone.
05:11Well, what's the point of voicemail if you're not going to use it?
05:13Sarge, I've got the inspector on the line.
05:16He wants to talk to you.
05:16Said you're not answering the phone.
05:17How is he even doing that?
05:23I'm here, sir.
05:24What do you need?
05:26All right, thanks, Officer Rose.
05:27I've got it.
05:29DS Thomas, I've found something of interest.
05:33You should head back to the station.
05:35OK, well, I'm almost done.
05:37And he's hung up.
05:39You're Inspector Wilson.
05:40He's very...
05:42Yes, he is.
05:43So, I was going over my mum's phone records,
05:47and in the last year, this number kept coming up.
05:5117 phone calls, 28 texts.
05:53It was registered to a Roy Palmer.
05:58I recognise him.
06:00He runs and owns the fishing net.
06:02That's the bar we were at last night.
06:04Go figure.
06:05Anyway, I asked for the transcript of their text messages to be sent over,
06:08and it looks like they were friends,
06:11but it was the last text that Dawna sent to Roy that caught my interest.
06:18Thanks for coming by.
06:19It was good to talk.
06:21That was sent two hours before she drowned,
06:23which tells me he must have visited her earlier that morning.
06:26So he's a possible new witness?
06:28Most definitely, yes.
06:37Yes, Thomas speaking.
06:41Okay.
06:43Thanks for letting me know.
06:46Sarah, that was the lab.
06:48They've got the boat wreckage from storage.
06:50Thought we'd give it a second look.
06:54Are you heading to the harbor?
06:57Yes, I am.
06:57It feels like a woman who's a man,
07:06and I can't imagine...
07:09It tastes like she's sick,
07:12but I don't know.
07:14It can't be passed.
07:15I thought it was the last six months ago.
07:16So get yourself down there for some old school dogs hung by.
07:39Finally, just a word of warning.
07:42Some bad weather coming in today.
07:43Authorities have put a high-risk warning out overnight, saying there's a category far storm
07:50growing up just off the East Coast.
07:52So if you had any plans to head out to sea today, authorities are advising against it.
07:59Best thing is to stay inside and stay safe.
08:13Hey, Dawna.
08:18Uh-uh.
08:19Rye, what are you doing here?
08:23I woke up this morning thinking about your dad.
08:26Doesn't get any easier, does it?
08:29It just made me want to come over, check in, see how you're doing.
08:34Come in.
08:35I'll make some iced tea.
08:40So you didn't know we were police when we were in last night?
08:43Ha!
08:43I make a point of not sticking my nose in my customer's business, Inspector.
08:47Fair enough.
08:48Unless they're talking cricket, in which case you cannot shut me up.
08:52My specialist subject, if I ever go on Mastermind.
08:55Were you a fan at all?
08:56Yeah.
08:57I'm a football man myself.
08:58Ah, we were getting on so well.
09:03So, this case we're working on, Dawna Bray, you knew her, right?
09:09Yeah, yeah.
09:11To be honest, it was her dad I was closer with.
09:14He was a regular here.
09:15And it was through him you met Dawna?
09:17Yeah.
09:18When Irvin got ill, dementia, she moved back in with him.
09:23And that was about a year before he passed.
09:26I used to, you know, check in on the old boy pretty regularly.
09:30And then, when we lost him, I just tried to be there for Dawna as well.
09:36It's just that Dawna texted you the day she died.
09:40Said, thanks for coming by.
09:42It was good to talk.
09:43Ah, yeah.
09:43What that was, I...
09:45I popped round earlier that morning.
09:48You know, just to see how she was coping.
09:50And how was she coping?
09:51Well, still missing her dad dreadfully, of course.
09:55We both were.
09:57Still am.
09:59And did she mention to you she was thinking of scattering her dad's ashes that day?
10:04No, she mentioned that it'd been playing on her mind that she hadn't done it yet.
10:08But no more than that, no.
10:10I mean, obviously, if I'd known she was going to do it that day, I would have warned her against it.
10:17And going out to sea with a storm coming in.
10:20So she said to you she was going to scatter her dad's ashes at sea?
10:24She must have at some point, I suppose.
10:27Do you remember when?
10:29Not precisely, no.
10:31It's just that we know Dawna applied for a permit to scatter her dad's ashes on a beach.
10:37And that was two weeks before she went to sea.
10:39So I'm just trying to work out why and at what point she changed her mind.
10:44Yeah, yeah, no, I mean, that does seem strange, yeah.
10:51Actually, now I come to think of it, I think probably maybe it was in that last week that she mentioned doing it at sea.
11:01I think.
11:02Yeah.
11:03Okay, well, um, thank you, Mr. Palmer.
11:10If anything else comes to mind, you'll let us know, yeah?
11:13Look, Inspector, I...
11:15If you're treating Dawna's death as suspicious, what exactly do you think's happened?
11:20I mean, she went out to sea in a storm and drowned.
11:25How could that possibly be anything other than a terrible accident?
11:30No, we're working on that.
11:31Thanks again, Mr. Palmer.
11:34You've been very helpful.
11:51I just keep putting it off.
11:53It's like the final goodbye.
11:55I don't know if I'm ready for that.
11:58I mean, if it's any consolation at all.
12:00I was exactly the same when my mother passed.
12:04But when I finally did it, scattered her ashes, it just felt right, you know?
12:13Like a release.
12:17For her and for me.
12:24Hey.
12:25Look.
12:27Uh-huh.
13:41Can we check the GPS on Donna's phone?
13:44Verify the call came from where we think it did.
13:46Okay.
13:47You've just come back from the search?
13:48Yeah, but we didn't find anything of relevance to the case, I'm afraid.
13:52But, um, I did find these letters.
13:56Your mum sent them 50 years ago.
14:00Not long after giving birth to you.
14:02Right.
14:03And I think they're to your father.
14:06Charlie Wilson.
14:09You... you know him?
14:11I reached out.
14:12Not long before I came here.
14:14And, um...
14:16Yeah.
14:18He didn't want to know.
14:19It doesn't look like he got them, though, because they were sent back.
14:25I assume it was Donna that opened the letters.
14:31I started reading one, but they're personal.
14:34Well, I think they might explain why your mother gave you up.
14:45Well, I'll leave you to it.
14:47Mm-hmm.
14:48Yeah.
14:59I'll leave you to look at this tomorrow.
15:07Yeah.
15:08Definitely tomorrow.
15:09And it's the fact that Roy Palmer was the last person to speak to my mum
15:21before she went out to see him drown.
15:24I mean, what exactly did he say to her?
15:29Oh, no.
15:30Please, not him.
15:31Good morning.
15:33My two favourite detectives.
15:35D.I. Wilson and...
15:37D.S.
15:38He's forgotten my name.
15:41Good to see you both.
15:43Definitely forgot me.
15:46Mr. Fox.
15:47Call me, Sterling.
15:49I thought we only had the pleasure of your company every other Wednesday.
15:52I'll be around for a few days while I'm still getting up to speed.
15:55Well, aren't we the lucky ones?
15:56I love that about you Londoners.
15:58Pretend you being out grumpy when you're not.
16:00Cracks me up.
16:02You know what?
16:02We should get a drink sometime, the two of us.
16:05Shoot that breeze kind of thing.
16:06Oh, that would be nice for you, sir.
16:08You'd like that, wouldn't you?
16:11Don't worry.
16:13I'll email my secretary right now.
16:15Something in the diary.
16:16So, uh, you were looking for something?
16:19I dropped by to pick up some case files.
16:22I'm reviewing all current and ongoing investigations.
16:25Officer Curtis kindly obliged.
16:27Anyway, I'll get out of your...
16:31Head.
16:33Good to see you, Inspector.
16:35Yeah.
16:36You're doing it again?
16:37The whole London thing?
16:40Kills me, man.
16:41I cannot believe they got rid of the commissioner for...
16:53That ninny.
16:57Morning, team.
16:59Morning, sir.
16:59Morning.
17:01How are we doing here?
17:02Well, we started doing background on Roy Palmer.
17:07He moved to St Marie five years ago and bought the bar.
17:10Now, I reckon he needed to leave his life in the UK.
17:14He had just been made redundant, recently divorced,
17:17and was also done for drunk driving.
17:21I wouldn't say he's exactly made a go of it financially
17:23since he got here.
17:25Check show...
17:26Just a sec, sorry.
17:28Officer Rose, what are you doing?
17:30Oh, I saw something online.
17:33He said if there's something you don't want to forget,
17:35pretend you're holding a donut.
17:37To remind you there's something you need to remember.
17:40It's called the donut technique.
17:45Okay.
17:46Financial checks show that Mr Palmer
17:49has been overstretched on his mortgage
17:51and his business isn't bringing in enough
17:54to cover his outgoings.
17:55Okay, interesting.
17:58All right, Officer Rose, donut time?
18:01Oh!
18:02Cha-cha.
18:03All right.
18:04So, the passport records show that
18:07Roy Palmer has been to the island once before,
18:09but, like, ages ago.
18:11When, exactly?
18:12April 1974.
18:15He would have been 16 at the time.
18:18Stayed at the Palm Royal Hotel with his parents.
18:21April 74.
18:22That was nine months before I was born.
18:29You're...
18:30You're not saying Roy Palmer might be...
18:32No.
18:33I'm not.
18:34I know who my father is,
18:35and he's not Roy Palmer.
18:38But it was a coincidence.
18:39Well, I asked immigration people to check out your mother,
18:42and she was definitely on the island April 1974.
18:46Then your father must have been here too.
18:49So, my mother, my father,
18:52and Roy Palmer were here on St. Marie at the exact same time
18:56around 50 years ago.
19:01Thanks for coming in, Mr. Palmer.
19:04So, we know that Dawna Bray had a relationship with a teenage lad
19:08over 50 years ago.
19:10He was staying here with his family
19:11at the Palm Royal Hotel.
19:14As were you at the exact same time.
19:16Wow.
19:17That is some serious digging you've been doing.
19:20Well, the first thing to say is
19:21it was a very long time ago,
19:23so the memory's a bit hazy,
19:25but yes, you're right.
19:26I did make friends with another lad
19:28who was staying at the Palm Royal.
19:30Charlie, his name was.
19:31We'd spend our days at the beach,
19:33you know, swimming, lazing about,
19:37and there was a bar we hung out at
19:39called the Flying Fish.
19:42A young local girl worked there.
19:45Dawna.
19:46Oh, right.
19:47Right, so she worked there back then.
19:49Hmm.
19:50Well, is that relevant?
19:52It's just that we know it's a place
19:54she used to go to more recently.
19:56Something she liked, you know?
19:58I guess she had fond memories of the place.
20:02Anyway, she and Charlie
20:04just kind of hit it off.
20:07She started hanging out with us
20:09when she wasn't working,
20:11and they had what I guess you'd call
20:13a kind of holiday romance.
20:17I mean, it was more than that.
20:20More?
20:21No, I think they fell in love.
20:23They had a couple of weeks together,
20:25saw each other every day,
20:27and then when it came time for Charlie to go home...
20:30Look, we have to go.
20:31They had a very tearful goodbye.
20:34Okay, so fast forward 50 years.
20:37Why'd you come back here?
20:40I was having a tough time living back in the UK,
20:44and I had some redundancy money,
20:46and I read about a bar,
20:48the fishing net being up for sale,
20:49and...
20:51I don't know.
20:53After all these years,
20:54it just felt right coming back to the island.
20:56And it was just chance.
20:57You buy a bar where
20:59Dawna's father happened to drink.
21:01That's exactly what it was.
21:03And eventually you put two and two together.
21:06I knew that Irving had a daughter,
21:08but I didn't know her name.
21:10And I never met her,
21:11because she lived on another island.
21:13But then,
21:14when she came back to care for him...
21:16It's a small world, isn't it?
21:22Out of curiosity,
21:24the day Dawna Bray drowned.
21:27Where were you when the storm hit?
21:29I was at the fishing net.
21:31With regulars.
21:33We holed up there.
21:34During the bad weather,
21:35I'll give you their details.
21:40All right, thank you for your help.
21:43Inspector?
21:45Dalton Lee and Nathan Armstrong
21:47both confirmed that they were with Roy Palmer
21:51at his bar the entirety of this storm.
21:54But, interestingly,
21:56they said they'd already given a statement?
21:59I, uh...
22:00I recognise their names
22:01from the coroner's report.
22:03They were waiting at the bar
22:04for Roy to open up
22:05when they saw Dawna heading out to sea.
22:08They called out to warn her about bad weather,
22:10but she didn't hear.
22:12Roy arrived shortly after and opened up.
22:15It still comes back to Roy Palmer again.
22:19Something not right about it.
22:21About him.
22:22About all of it.
22:29But I have no idea how he managed to kill a woman
22:37who seemingly ventured out to sea by herself
22:40in the middle of a storm and drowned.
22:44Excuse me.
22:47All right, Donut Boy,
22:48what have you got?
22:50Totally forgot about that.
22:51Heh.
22:52Boy.
22:54So,
22:54in April 1974,
22:58while Roy Palmer was on holiday with his family,
23:01Palm Royal Hotel reported a theft.
23:03One of their guests had a very expensive ring stolen.
23:07No, it was never recovered.
23:09The perpetrator was never arrested.
23:12And it was insured for $80,000.
23:15I'm sure it's worth a lot more now.
23:22I've seen this ring before.
23:24To you, Dawna.
23:26Mom.
23:29Tia's Thomas, you're with me.
23:31Officer Rose,
23:31I want you to go back to Dawna Bray's house,
23:33check all the photographs of her
23:35to see if she's weighing that ring in any of them.
23:37All right.
23:37All right.
23:45See?
23:48It's the same one.
23:50Same shape, same stone.
23:55Sir, talk to me.
23:57I've got some photos of Dawna.
23:59She looks about 18 in a couple.
24:02And then someone, she's a bit older.
24:05Early 30s, maybe.
24:07And she's wearing that ring in all of them.
24:12So, what are you thinking, sir?
24:16I'm thinking,
24:18where's the ring now?
24:20Because it wasn't on her hand when she was
24:22pulled out of the sea.
24:26So where is it?
24:28You think Roy Palmer might have it?
24:33He's back again.
24:34Afternoon.
24:44Officer Curtis said I find you here.
24:46How can we help you?
24:48The Dawna Bray case.
24:50You're reading the file.
24:52She's your mother, right?
24:53Yeah, that's right.
24:55So, firstly, my condolences.
24:57Truly, I am sorry for your loss.
24:59But, secondly,
25:02and I'm sorry to do this to you,
25:04I've spoken with the Chief Commissioner
25:05and we need to close it down.
25:10Sorry, what?
25:11The case.
25:12We need to close it down.
25:13Why?
25:14Well, as far as the Chief Commissioner
25:16and I can see,
25:18it's costing us time and resources.
25:20And there's not a single piece
25:22of physical evidence to suggest
25:23this is anything other than an accident.
25:25Well, no, not yet there isn't,
25:26but we're still waiting for results
25:27to come back.
25:28No, you're not.
25:30I dropped by at the lab.
25:32The phone call your mother made.
25:33I need help.
25:35No.
25:36They've confirmed it wasn't a fake.
25:38The phone company checked GPS tracking
25:39and it was indeed made two miles out at sea
25:43just before she drowned.
25:45I get this case matters to you, D.I. Wilson,
25:49but I think your personal connection with it
25:51is clouding your judgment.
25:52To be honest,
25:54we're surprised Commissioner Patterson
25:56ever gave you to go ahead on it.
25:57You can't do this.
25:58Well, you see,
26:00you sort of can.
26:04But you don't understand
26:05what we're doing here.
26:06Look!
26:08The Chief Commissioner has spoken
26:09and there's no coming work on that.
26:12So if you've got a problem with it,
26:13you've got a week left
26:14on your contract here,
26:16you can call it a day right now
26:17and get you back on that plane
26:18to London real quick.
26:19Hmm?
26:23Whoa.
26:27Enjoy your E-bates.
26:33Inspector,
26:34I can't believe he's done this.
26:37I knew no good would come of them
26:39replacing Selwyn.
26:40Just two days he's been in charge
26:42and look what's happened.
26:44He's not got a clue what he's doing.
26:45Yeah, I mean,
26:47I know I've made some mistakes
26:48and I've still got a lot to learn.
26:50But this guy,
26:51real idiot.
26:54And what about Mervyn?
26:56How is he?
26:58He's not said much,
27:00went off on his own,
27:01which is not unusual,
27:03but
27:03I think he's feeling pretty crushed.
27:13The phone call your mother made?
27:15We've confirmed it was in a fake.
27:22This is Donna Bray.
27:24I've asked me.
27:26I need help.
27:28No.
27:29Please.
27:29I don't know where I am.
27:31I don't...
27:32I don't have to admit to this.
27:35This is Donna this side.
27:37I don't know where I am.
27:40Hello?
27:42Hello?
27:42Hello?
27:49No.
27:50No.
27:55Please.
27:57No.
27:58I don't know how you think I can help her.
28:19You must be able to do something.
28:22But what?
28:23I no longer have any SWE.
28:25You're still the commissioner of police, though.
28:28For a few more days.
28:29Yes, but if Sterling Fox has the chief commissioner's here,
28:33then I'm as good as outranked.
28:35Even if others still need you?
28:37People have to get used to not relying on me like they did.
28:41Fifty years of service to this island,
28:44and now you can just walk away?
28:46Not care anymore?
28:49Maybe that's what I need to do.
28:51Maybe that's how I get through this.
28:54By not giving a damn.
28:58Is that really how you want this all to end?
29:02By turning your back on everything you used to stand for?
29:07I think you should go now.
29:16There's nothing further for us that is cause.
29:19Selwyn.
29:30Mervyn came to St. Mary looking for answers.
29:34If he has to leave without finding them,
29:37then this island has let him down.
29:40The island of St. Mary...
30:00Yes, sir.
30:19Do you want to tell us what's going on?
30:20I'm here to get the case reopened.
30:27How?
30:30Let's just say I have a plan.
30:36Sir, good morning.
30:40What a beautiful day, right?
30:43You got your uniform on.
30:46You having a leaving party or something?
30:47We're here, Mr. Fox, because I'm going to arrest you.
30:53You going to what?
30:55For the damage you caused my car.
30:58Did you just say he's going to arrest him?
30:59This is a joke, right?
31:00You know, I think he did.
31:02You're joking?
31:02Sterling Fox, I'm arresting you for criminal damage.
31:07You do not have to say anything.
31:10I'm not joking.
31:12Is this actually happening or am I dreaming right now?
31:17You know, honey, it's really happening.
31:21Officer Rose, handcuffs, please.
31:26Take Mr. Fox to the cells.
31:29They stay on me life.
31:32Say, Owen, you're making a big mistake right now.
31:36The Chief Commissioner's not going to be happy.
31:38Stop.
31:40No.
31:42You can't do this.
31:44I can.
31:46And I have.
31:49And if you do not let Officer Rose put the cuffs on you,
31:53I'll also charge you with resisting arrest.
31:59This is crazy.
32:01You're crazy.
32:02I can probably spin this out for the rest of the day.
32:13So you have until then to solve the donor break case.
32:17So that was your plan?
32:19Arrest the new boss, then put him behind bars?
32:21You have a better one?
32:24No, sir, I don't.
32:25This island.
32:37Let me out of here, please.
32:40Can we not just talk about this?
32:41All in good time, Mr. Fox.
32:44But you'll have to wait while I gather evidence from the crime scene,
32:48which may take some time.
32:50The crime scene's part right outside.
32:53How long can it take?
32:54It's been a while since I've been so hands-on.
32:58I have a feeling I may be a bit rusty.
33:02You're killing me in here!
33:07Now, first things first.
33:12A nice cup of coffee.
33:19And maybe a biscuit, too.
33:24Inspector, if you tell me what it is you're looking for,
33:35perhaps we could speed things up a bit?
33:37No, we're good as we are, thanks.
33:41Is that your bow?
33:43Yeah.
33:44You know, I hadn't realised at first.
33:47Same surnames.
33:49Inspector Wilson.
33:51Charlie Wilson.
33:52And then I mentioned to a couple of my customers
33:55that you were asking after Dorner and they filled me in.
33:58Your point?
34:00Oh, no point.
34:01I'm just saying.
34:02I didn't know Dorner was your mother.
34:06Five years sober.
34:07That's another reason for my moving here.
34:13Things have got a little bit out of control.
34:15I needed to sort myself out.
34:21You know, I can't imagine how hard it must have been,
34:25having never known your mother,
34:27to come all this way
34:28and find out she'd
34:30passed on.
34:37She never mentioned you, you know,
34:39in the time I got to know her.
34:41Didn't even tell me that she and Charlie had a baby.
34:44Maybe she chose to
34:47put all that behind her.
34:50Out of sight,
34:52out of mind.
34:53Why are you telling me this?
34:55No reason.
34:57I just thought you might want to know.
35:00Sir!
35:02I've got something.
35:08This is interesting, Mr Palmer.
35:10An email exchange with a jeweller in the US
35:13requesting a valuation on a ring
35:15that was previously in Dornerbury's possession.
35:18Two million dollars.
35:19Can you explain?
35:20Very happy to.
35:21Dorner and I were reminiscing.
35:23She was talking about Charlie
35:25and she showed me the ring he gave her.
35:28A promise ring.
35:29Just before he went back to England.
35:31Go on.
35:32Well, it took me a moment
35:33but I was looking at it
35:34and I thought,
35:35how on earth
35:36does a teenage Charlie Wilson
35:39afford a piece of jewellery like that?
35:42Then he came back to me.
35:44There had been a theft reported
35:46at the hotel we were staying at.
35:48A rather valuable ring.
35:50I realised.
35:52That was it.
35:54So why did you request a valuation?
35:56Because Dorner wouldn't believe me
35:58when I told her it was valuable.
36:00So you discussed it with her?
36:01The fact that this was stolen?
36:03Yeah, and I told her
36:04she should hand it over to the police
36:06so that it could be returned
36:07to the woman who owned it.
36:09What did she say?
36:12Well, she refused.
36:13She said it was hers
36:14and she was going to keep it.
36:17I don't believe you.
36:19Well,
36:20you wouldn't, would you?
36:22Dorner was your mother.
36:23Of course you want to think
36:24the best of her.
36:26But, and
36:27I say this with the utmost sympathy,
36:29Inspector,
36:30you didn't know her.
36:34You never even met her.
36:36And where's the ring now?
36:45Because it's not at Dorner's house
36:46and it wasn't found on her body.
36:48So,
36:49this is the reason
36:52you've been turning
36:53my villa upside down, huh?
36:55Do you think I have it?
36:57If you told me
36:58what it was you were looking for,
36:59we could have saved
37:00a whole load of time.
37:02Because it's not here.
37:04And I don't know where it is.
37:07Honestly, I don't.
37:08But that's about all.
37:14We'd say hello to each other,
37:16but no more.
37:18How are you getting on?
37:20I'm afraid Miss Clementson
37:22can't help as much.
37:23She recognises Roy from the photo,
37:25but never had much to do with him.
37:27He was friends with Dorner's father,
37:29but that's all that I knew.
37:32Never really took to him,
37:33if I'm honest with you, Inspector.
37:35You and me both.
37:36All right, well,
37:38it was worth the ask.
37:39Thank you, Miss Clementson.
37:45Seb's finished searching
37:46Roy Palmer's bar
37:47and the ring isn't there either.
37:49So if he's got it,
37:51he's hidden it.
37:52Come on!
37:54Sorry, sorry.
37:55It's not you.
37:56It's just...
37:57We're so close to solving this.
37:59We know who did it.
38:01We think we know why.
38:02I just can't figure out
38:03how Roy Palmer
38:04made Dorner
38:05travel out to see
38:06when she knew
38:08there was a storm coming.
38:10I don't know.
38:15I feel like I'm blocked.
38:17I can't join the dots.
38:19Something's holding me back.
38:21Like what, Inspector?
38:24I think...
38:25I think there's something
38:28I should have done,
38:28but I haven't.
38:29just bear with me, yeah?
38:45Inspector.
38:49Everything all right?
38:50I don't know.
38:50Not really.
38:57There's these letters
39:00my mum sent to my dad
39:02years ago now.
39:03I think there's answers
39:07in here
39:08about stuff.
39:11I just can't bring myself to...
39:13Maybe he...
39:16I could
39:17for you.
39:24Come.
39:24So...
39:26How would you like
39:33to do this?
39:36Um...
39:36Just give me the headlines
39:39to start with.
39:41The letters were written
39:44just after you were born.
39:47They were sent
39:47from St. Marie.
39:49And your mother
39:50talks about
39:51being back here
39:52after some time
39:54in London
39:54with Charlie
39:56and his parents
39:58when
39:59you were born.
40:02Right.
40:05She seemed
40:07to have cared
40:08for your father
40:09a lot.
40:10But, um...
40:11His parents weren't happy
40:12with the situation
40:13that he got
40:14a girl pregnant
40:15when they were both
40:16still so young.
40:20It was them
40:21who insisted
40:23that she and Charlie
40:24gave the baby up.
40:30It wasn't her decision.
40:33I don't believe so.
40:36Here.
40:38She says...
40:40I know
40:42they are just
40:43looking out for you
40:45and think
40:46they are doing
40:47the right thing.
40:49But it hurts.
40:51And it's not
40:52what I
40:52wanted.
40:55I'm never going
40:56to be the same person
40:57I was
40:59after this.
41:06It's broken me.
41:09Also,
41:10I think
41:11you should hear this.
41:14She mentions
41:15the ring
41:16you told me about.
41:17what she says.
41:21I have not
41:22taken it off
41:23since I got back here.
41:26And I'm never
41:27going to.
41:29I'm always
41:31going to wear it.
41:33And whenever
41:33I look at it,
41:35I'm always going
41:36to think
41:37of our
41:39little boy.
41:40I don't think
41:49she ever
41:50forgot you.
41:53I, um,
41:54I need a minute.
41:56I'm never
42:09going to be the same person
42:13I'm never going to be
42:24the same person
42:25I was
42:26after this.
42:27She said she wasn't
42:28the same person.
42:29She, she couldn't be.
42:34She, she wouldn't be.
42:38And if she wasn't,
42:40then
42:40every part of this
42:44changes.
42:44We know
42:45Dorna
42:45applied
42:46for a permit
42:47to scatter
42:48her dad's ashes
42:48on a beach.
42:50Come on,
42:50Mervyn.
42:51They were waiting
42:52at the bar
42:52for Roy to open up
42:53when they saw
42:54Dorna heading out
42:55to sea.
42:55Where's the
42:56connection?
42:57Where's the ring now?
42:58It's not here.
42:59I don't know
43:00where it is.
43:01Where?
43:02He's got it.
43:03He's hidden it.
43:05The harbor.
43:07No, no, no,
43:07that's too obvious.
43:09Too many people
43:10would know.
43:11Um,
43:11somewhere else.
43:13Five years
43:13sober.
43:14That's another reason
43:15for my moving here.
43:17Things have got
43:17a little bit
43:18out of control.
43:19That's where.
43:23Sir,
43:24you wouldn't have
43:25to know
43:25where the local
43:26AA meetings
43:27take place.
43:28As it happens,
43:29I do.
43:30My local church
43:31hosts them.
43:33Of course.
43:35We're going to need
43:36to get Roy Palmer
43:37to the station.
43:39You've solved it?
43:42Yeah.
43:44Yes, I have.
43:46And with the help
43:47of your mother,
43:49by the sounds of it.
43:59Look,
44:00I've had enough of this.
44:02I'm calling the chief commissioner.
44:04No, Sterling.
44:05It's Mr. Fox.
44:06Actually, no,
44:07if you please.
44:07You're going to sit
44:08down there
44:09and watch
44:10what's about to happen.
44:13No ifs,
44:14no whats.
44:15They're just in here,
44:27Mr. Palmer.
44:31Quite the crowd
44:32that's gathered.
44:33This is Commissioner
44:34Patterson.
44:35Hmm.
44:36Must be important
44:37if you're bringing
44:38the big guns out.
44:39Oh, it is,
44:40Mr. Palmer.
44:42Trust me.
44:43It is very important
44:45because I'm about
44:47to arrest you
44:47for the murder
44:48of Dawna Bray.
44:51Right.
44:53Well,
44:54I'm curious to know
44:57how you reached
44:58that conclusion.
45:00Take a seat.
45:01We'll get started.
45:02Now,
45:12working out
45:13the motive
45:15in this case,
45:16why you
45:17committed murder,
45:19wasn't that difficult.
45:21You needed the money.
45:23You're in debt
45:24and it was growing
45:25by the minute.
45:26But then
45:27Dawna Bray
45:29came back
45:30into your life
45:31after 50 years
45:33with a $2 million
45:35ring on her finger
45:36just waiting
45:37for you
45:38to get your hands
45:38on it.
45:40But that was
45:41a problem
45:41because Dawna
45:43hadn't taken
45:43that ring
45:44off her finger
45:45since it was
45:45given to her
45:46all those years ago.
45:48So it's not like
45:49you could just
45:49stage a burglary
45:51and take it.
45:52No.
45:54If you were
45:54going to get hold
45:55of that ring
45:55and sell it,
45:57you decided
45:59you were going
45:59to have to
46:00kill her.
46:08But
46:08you knew
46:11you had to be clever
46:12if you were going
46:13to get away with it.
46:14You decided
46:15if you were going
46:17to commit murder,
46:18you wanted it
46:18to look
46:19like an accident.
46:21And with Dawna
46:22mentioning to you
46:23that she needed
46:23to scatter
46:24her father's ashes,
46:25that's when your plan
46:26started to take shape,
46:27to make it look
46:29like she died
46:30at sea in a storm.
46:33So how to
46:33pull it off?
46:34How do you make
46:35it look like
46:36this woman
46:36travelled out
46:37to sea alone
46:38only to drown
46:39when bad weather
46:40hit?
46:41Well, I'll admit
46:42that is a question
46:43that had me
46:44well and truly
46:45baffled all these
46:46weeks.
46:47But today,
46:48finally,
46:50I realised
46:51you weren't
46:55acting alone
46:56when you murdered
46:57Dawn of Ray,
46:58were you?
47:00You had someone
47:01helping you.
47:05So,
47:06who was it?
47:12Officer Curtis.
47:14Sir,
47:15I found the ring.
47:18She had it.
47:20You see,
47:21what I've learnt
47:22about you, Roy,
47:23is that your life
47:24is lived,
47:25mostly,
47:26around that harbour.
47:28Your bar,
47:29your friends
47:29you go fishing with.
47:31So if you were
47:32going to get away
47:33with that murder,
47:35your accomplice
47:37needed to be
47:37someone who
47:38wasn't part of
47:39that world,
47:40someone who
47:41wouldn't be
47:41recognised down
47:42there.
47:43And the only
47:43thing in your
47:44life I've come
47:45across that
47:46isn't connected
47:47to that harbour,
47:49your weekly
47:51AA meetings.
47:53Which happened
47:54to take place
47:55at the same
47:56church,
47:57Brianna Clemetson
47:58attends and
47:59helps out at.
48:00You probably
48:01don't remember
48:02me, but we've
48:02crossed out
48:03the church
48:03a couple of
48:04times.
48:04Yes, of
48:05course.
48:06And having
48:06spoken to the
48:07pastor there,
48:08he told us
48:09he'd seen you
48:09and Brianna
48:10together,
48:11that you two
48:11got close
48:12over the
48:12last year.
48:14He said,
48:14Brianna always
48:15seemed lonely,
48:17sad,
48:17struggling to
48:18find some
48:19meaning in
48:20life.
48:22I thought
48:23it would
48:23bring me
48:23some happiness
48:25with the
48:26money we'd
48:27get.
48:28He said
48:28it would
48:28help me
48:29find a
48:30life for
48:31myself.
48:31And you
48:32realised
48:33you could
48:34take advantage
48:35of that.
48:36I got
48:36nothing.
48:37No
48:38friends,
48:39family.
48:41But all
48:41I wanted
48:42was a
48:43life.
48:45Money can
48:46give you
48:47that.
48:48I'm not
48:49sure I can,
48:49honey.
48:51Miss Clemetson,
48:52I'm going to
48:53have to arrest
48:54you now and
48:55then take you
48:56to the
48:56station.
48:58So we
48:59have the
48:59who,
49:00we have
49:01the why,
49:02all that's
49:03left is
49:03the how.
49:04On the
49:05morning of
49:06Donna Bray's
49:06death,
49:07you went to
49:08visit her,
49:10knowing that
49:10that particular
49:11morning there
49:12was going to
49:12be a massive
49:13storm.
49:14Right.
49:15Hey,
49:15Donna.
49:16And two
49:16things occurred
49:17when you
49:17got there.
49:19Firstly,
49:20you convinced
49:20her to scatter
49:21her father's
49:22ashes that
49:23same day.
49:24It just
49:24felt right.
49:26You know?
49:27And secondly,
49:28we think you
49:29slipped Donna's
49:29sedative.
49:31FYI,
49:32the lab still
49:33have a sample
49:34of Donna's
49:35hair from
49:36the original
49:36post-mortem.
49:37It's being
49:38tested as we
49:38speak,
49:39and any trace
49:40of sedative
49:41in her system
49:41will show up.
49:43So I'm going
49:43to preemptively
49:44call that
49:45Exhibit A.
49:47Now,
49:47we know
49:48Donna checked
49:49the weather
49:50that morning,
49:51and we know
49:52she was intending
49:52to scatter the
49:53ashes on the
49:54beach,
49:55which is why
49:56she set out,
49:57knowing if she
49:57went earlier
49:58in the morning,
49:59she'd missed
49:59the bad weather.
50:00But what she
50:01didn't know
50:02was that you
50:03were following
50:03her,
50:04Mr. Palmer,
50:05and that soon
50:05she'd need to
50:06pull over
50:06feeling drowsy.
50:08We think you
50:09then drove a
50:10now unconscious
50:11Donna back
50:12to her house
50:13where behind
50:13the closed gate
50:14on the drive,
50:16Brianna Clementson
50:17changed into
50:18Donna's clothes.
50:19You recovered
50:20your own car,
50:21drove back to
50:22Donna's house
50:22so you could
50:22place her body
50:23into it.
50:24You then drove
50:25to a quiet
50:25section of the
50:26beach where
50:26your boat
50:27was already
50:27moored.
50:28You took her
50:29out to sea
50:29where the storm
50:30was heading
50:31and left her
50:32there before
50:34returning to
50:34shore in a
50:35dinghy.
50:38Once you
50:39got back to
50:40shore,
50:41Miss Clementson
50:42drove to the
50:43harbour in
50:43Dorna's car,
50:45where she
50:45proceeded to
50:46take the
50:46ashes and
50:48get into
50:48Irvingbury's
50:49fishing boat.
50:49The harbour
50:50was pretty
50:51much empty
50:51that day
50:52because of
50:52the incoming
50:53storm,
50:53but you
50:54knew your
50:55two regular
50:56customers would
50:57be there
50:57waiting for
50:58you to
50:58open up
50:59and would
51:00see a
51:00woman carrying
51:01an urn,
51:02getting into
51:02a boat and
51:03heading out
51:04to sea.
51:05Now Miss
51:05Clementson is
51:07roughly the
51:07same height
51:08and build
51:09as Dorna,
51:10but whether
51:10or not the
51:10two witnesses
51:11recognised
51:12her as
51:12Dorna doesn't
51:14really matter
51:14because when
51:15they recovered
51:15her dead body
51:16and brought
51:16it to shore
51:17wearing the
51:18same clothes,
51:19they'd just
51:19assume it
51:20was the
51:20same person.
51:21Having headed
51:22out to see
51:22where you
51:23left your
51:23boat,
51:24Mr. Palmer,
51:25Brianna then
51:26removed the
51:27clothes she
51:27was wearing
51:28and put them
51:29back on
51:30Dorna.
51:31Once she'd
51:31done this,
51:32she moved
51:33Dorna's body
51:33into Irving's
51:35fishing boat
51:36and then returned
51:37to shore in
51:38your boat,
51:39leaving Dorna
51:40Bray unconscious
51:41in her father's
51:43fishing boat
51:43with a storm
51:44about to hit.
51:46You both
51:47knew it was
51:48a category
51:49four storm.
51:50The Dorna
51:51now unconscious
51:52in that little
51:52boat had no
51:53chance of
51:54surviving.
51:56But something
51:57went wrong
51:57with your plan.
51:59The sedative
51:59wore off
52:00and Dorna
52:01regained
52:01consciousness.
52:02She had a
52:10mobile phone
52:11in her
52:11handbag
52:11and she
52:13called the
52:13harbormaster.
52:14I need help!
52:15Fortunately for
52:16you,
52:16the signal
52:16was poor
52:17and the line
52:18cut out
52:19before anything
52:19incriminating
52:20was set.
52:21Hello!
52:22Now,
52:23I don't know
52:25exactly what
52:25happened out
52:26there that day.
52:27Mom!
52:28Only the
52:29Dorna
52:29Bray
52:30my mother
52:34didn't come
52:40back alive.
52:40I had to tell them.
53:05Ahem!
53:16Sam?
53:25Exhibit B?
53:28I assume
53:28the reason
53:29you haven't
53:29sold this shit
53:30is because
53:30you're waiting
53:30for the right price.
53:31it wasn't
53:34going to be
53:34easy to find
53:35the buyer
53:35for a piece
53:35as rare
53:36as this.
53:41Stan.
53:49Look.
53:53For what
53:53it's worth,
53:55I am
53:56sorry.
53:56it was
53:59never
53:59personal.
54:02Maybe not.
54:04But this
54:05is.
54:09Roy Palmer,
54:11I am
54:12arresting you
54:13on suspicion
54:13of the murder
54:14of Dorna
54:14Bray.
54:17You do not
54:17have to say
54:18anything,
54:19but it may
54:20harm your
54:20defense if
54:21you do not
54:21mention when
54:22questioned
54:22something you
54:23later rely
54:24on in
54:24court.
54:24Anything you
54:27do say
54:27may be
54:27given in
54:28evidence.
54:51Look,
54:52I'm glad
54:52you caught
54:53the guy
54:53that killed
54:53your mother.
54:54But that
54:55does not
54:55excuse
54:56what went
54:56on today.
54:57So when I
54:58get back
54:58to Jamaica,
54:59I'm going to
54:59make the
55:00Chief
55:00Commissioner
55:00fully aware.
55:03Well,
55:03with respect,
55:04Mr. Fox,
55:06I'd like to
55:06point out that
55:07if we did
55:07things your
55:08way,
55:08a man guilty
55:09of murder
55:09would be
55:09walking free
55:10right now,
55:11which I'm
55:11sure the
55:12Chief
55:12Commissioner
55:12would be
55:12very
55:13interested
55:13to hear.
55:14Listen,
55:14we don't
55:15have to be
55:15like that
55:16about it.
55:17You know
55:17what would
55:17fix this,
55:18Sterling?
55:19When you
55:20go back
55:20to Jamaica,
55:21you tell
55:21your boss
55:22that to avoid
55:23any more
55:23mistakes like
55:24this being
55:24made by
55:25your good
55:25self,
55:26he needs
55:26to reinstate
55:27the
55:27Commissioner.
55:30I'll, uh,
55:31think about it
55:33if I will let you know.
55:34You didn't need
55:48to do that.
55:50Yes, sir,
55:51I did.
55:52I wish I could've
55:53done more.
55:54Because if it
55:55wasn't for you,
55:56today wouldn't have
55:57happened.
55:59This has been
56:00owed to you
56:01for a very
56:02long time.
56:30as I'm
56:36writing this
56:36letter,
56:37I'm wearing
56:39the ring
56:39you bought
56:40me.
56:41In fact,
56:42I've not
56:43taken it off
56:44since I've
56:44got back here.
56:46And I'm
56:46never going
56:47to.
56:48I'm always
56:49going to
56:50wear it.
56:51And whenever
56:52I look at
56:52it,
56:54I'm going
56:54to think
56:55of our
56:55little boy
56:56wherever he
56:57is.
56:58Whatever
56:58he's doing,
57:00I'm going
57:01to think
57:01of our
57:01son.
57:03And remember
57:04the love
57:04I feel
57:05for him
57:06right now.
57:27you.
57:57Two more hours, mate, and it's bye-bye, St. Marie.

58:09You were the last person in here before the body was falling.
58:12Of course, I'm a suspect.
58:14Me, you offered me my job back.
