00:00It is Friday, it's 5.52pm and it is the end of the first week with my new clients.
00:11Alistair and Margot Hartnell.
00:14They say that coming here is the last roll of the dice for them.
00:17They had been on the cusp of getting a divorce.
00:20Walk forward. Turn right. Turn right!
00:23Turn left. No, no, wait. No, sorry. That's my...
00:27For God's sake, Alistair!
00:29Love has been replaced by hostility.
00:32You're useless at this! That's enough!
00:34Sorry, darling.
00:35All trust has gone.
00:36For sake!
00:37Sorry. Sorry!
00:38It's okay. It's okay.
00:39Compounded by the fact that they seem unable to communicate in a meaningful and a reciprocal way.
00:46I feel unheard when I talk to you about how I'm feeling.
00:52Well, often when you do want to talk, I've got work on my mind and that's important too.
01:02So it's just a case of bad timing, that's all.
01:05Their marriage doesn't make sense to them anymore.
01:08Over the course of the coming weeks, I'd like to see if we can retrace the steps that led to this situation.
01:15See if we can work out how they got here.
01:17Next we have Luke and Stacey Warbur.
01:21I believe the fault lines don't run as deep with them.
01:24I'm grateful for how patient you are.
01:27And that you're here with me now, doing this.
01:31Because I know I'm not giving you what you need.
01:35That's so sweet, bro.
01:37On the surface, they have a loving marriage.
01:40But now can we try taking each other's hands, please?
01:45And maintaining that same eye contact.
01:48By their own admission, there are significant intimacy issues.
01:51Why can't you do this?
01:53Uh...
01:55I'm sorry.
01:57I'm sorry, sorry. Could I take five?
01:59It's okay.
02:00Of course.
02:01It's okay, Luke.
02:04Take your time.
02:06I mean...
02:07It's okay.
02:08It's all part of the process.
02:10It's Friday, it's the beginning of the weekend now.
02:13But Monday will be a big day.
02:15I have exciting plans.
02:17I think that there could be a real breakthrough.
02:23Hello.
02:24Darling.
02:26Wine's good.
02:29This looks nice, doesn't it?
02:30Yeah.
02:31Hi, everyone. Hi.
02:33I just wanted to say thank you very much for all your hard work
02:37and your commitment this week.
02:39You should be very proud of yourselves.
02:41There's more for us to do next week.
02:44But for now, enjoy your evening.
02:49Right, bon appetit.
02:51Cheers, everyone.
02:52Cheers.
02:55Cheers.
02:56Cheers.
02:57Wow.
02:58I just feel like every single thing I say is wrong.
03:23Every word, every utterance.
03:25She pounces on it like a wild animal.
03:28Yeah.
03:29She certainly has a way with her words, your missus.
03:35I thought you'd never ask.
03:37It's only duty free.
03:40That's Kira's stuff.
03:42Can't still be swimming, can she?
03:53No.
04:10No.
05:11Why not?
05:12Because it's got I Heart St. Marie on the front of it.
05:18Hmm?
05:20Still haven't gotten your clothes back then.
05:22I must have left 50 messages for Solomon.
05:25This is the only shirt he didn't take.
05:26But I've got a mate from the Met to call in a favour,
05:29and I've got him to triangulate his phone for me.
05:31Yeah, that's a very good use of their resources.
05:34Hey, listen.
05:35He stole from me, and that is a crime.
05:40Inspector, I just think you should take the hat off.
05:43Yeah, all right.
05:44I don't know.
06:14Who else was here last night?
06:18About six people in total, four residents, two staff, the chef and the waitress.
06:22There's some bruising around her neck and shoulders.
06:25Looks like finger marks.
06:26Paramedics say they're recent, more likely from someone forcing her down under the water.
06:31They reckon it's murder.
06:33That's why they called us.
06:34So what?
06:35She swam out to sea, and somebody was with her and did this.
06:39Or maybe somebody was waiting for her out there on a boat.
06:41Inspector, what would you say if I told you I just found a bingo ball at the crime scene?
06:46I'd say, have you actually found a bingo ball at the crime scene?
06:51And I would say yes.
06:52Yes, I did find a bingo ball at the crime scene.
06:56Thirteen.
06:57I'm looking for some.
06:58I mean, it probably doesn't have much to do with Kira May, who's murdered, all right?
07:05We don't know yet.
07:06Let's bag it.
07:07Oh, okay.
07:08The bingo ball's officially evidenced now.
07:10Bag in the bingo ball.
07:12All right.
07:13Sergeant Fletcher, you talk to the staff.
07:16Officer Rose, see if there's any security cameras in the place.
07:19And DS Thomas, let's talk to the guests.
07:21There.
07:22Oh.
07:23I'll keep holding back.
07:28I'm sorry, did you just say murder?
07:30What, I thought it was an accident.
07:32Well, it wasn't.
07:33So we need to ask you where you all were between the hours of seven and nine last night.
07:37Are you saying we're suspects?
07:38When did you last see Kira Mayhew?
07:40Before dinner, we were having some aperitifs, and she came and told us to have a nice night.
07:45Enjoy your evening.
07:48What time was that?
07:49Just before seven.
07:51She went for a swim and didn't see her again until she was, was, um, dead.
07:59Just say it.
08:02And was that a regular thing, her going for a swim at that time?
08:06Seemed to be, like, most evenings.
08:08Kira said it was her own therapy.
08:11Getting into the sea after a long day, she found it, uh, restorative.
08:15And during the two hours between you seeing her and her body being found,
08:19and you were...
08:20We were all together having dinner.
08:25Look, it wasn't one of us, okay?
08:28Nobody told us that we were going to be grilled like this.
08:30None of us have even been to bed.
08:32And I took a sleeping pill.
08:33Don't apologise for me, Alistair.
08:39You know I hate it when you do that.
08:40Sorry, dear.
08:41And don't call me dear, either.
08:43No, of course not.
08:44Sorry for God.
08:44God help us.
08:55God help us.
08:55I spoke with the staff who can alibi each other for the time of the murder.
09:05They were preparing dinner between seven and nine.
09:09You think he listening?
09:10I'm listening.
09:11Just checking, sir.
09:12What did they say about the victim?
09:14Well, that she was a decent boss.
09:16Always paid them on time.
09:17Was friendly.
09:18Any idea it'd want to harm her?
09:19No, they reckon she didn't really know anyone here.
09:22Never saw her go out much.
09:24Kept herself to herself.
09:26I checked her phone.
09:27All her texts and all her emails, work-related.
09:30Apart from her mum back in England.
09:32How's she doing?
09:34Not great.
09:35We said we'd speak tomorrow when she might be a little bit calmer.
09:38I found this.
09:42Date and time is yesterday.
09:465.52 in the afternoon.
09:47That's just over an hour before her swim.
09:58It's the weekend now, but Monday will be a big day.
10:02I have exciting plans, and I think that there could be a real breakthrough.
10:11My instinct on this is that a lie is being told.
10:15If I can draw out the truth, the fallout would be truly devastating.
10:26And only a couple of hours later, she's been murdered.
10:29You're thinking one of the guests here did it?
10:32I'm thinking maybe one of them did.
10:34On one hand, all the four guests were having dinner together at the time of Kira Mayhew's murder.
10:43Oh, look.
10:44There are only two cameras in the resort.
10:46Just before 7 o'clock, Kira Mayhew goes for a swim.
10:49But on the other hand, all the guests leave the table once during the evening.
10:54So, in theory, it could have been any one of them.
10:56All right, um...
10:59Now, here.
11:00At 18 minutes past 7, Mr. Hartnell goes to his bedroom to get his glasses.
11:05And in here, 7.46, Stacey Wabba goes to the bathroom to check her make-up.
11:11And at 8.03, Mrs. Hartnell goes to grab her shawl.
11:16And after that, at 8.30, Luke Wabba goes to his bedroom to get a bottle of rum.
11:19So, each of them had opportunity to kill the victim during the dinner.
11:26Except, on the other hand, no one leaves the table for more than 2 to 3 minutes.
11:33And they all returned dry as a bone.
11:36Okay, so how did one of them manage to leave the dinner table, run down to the beach,
11:41get themselves somehow out to see 100 metres, drown Kira Mayhew...
11:45Then come all the way back, dry off, before returning to the table in less than a few minutes.
11:53Well, that's just not possible.
11:56All right, Sebastian.
12:09I'll read the victim's notebook.
12:11You make us start listening to these tapes.
12:13Focus on the ones recorded since the four suspects arrived.
12:16Yeah.
12:17Oh, these tapes are teeny-tiny.
12:20Look, they make me look like a giant.
12:22Says the giants.
12:24Hmm.
12:24So, printed the victim's schedule the day of her murder.
12:28Trust exercises in the morning.
12:30Sounds fun.
12:32Lunch, followed by one-to-one sessions in the afternoon with Stacey Warbert, then Alistair Hartnell.
12:38Inspector, I came to check in on the murder case.
12:42The minister gets nervous when one of our resorts is hit by a crime.
12:47I'd like to reassure her it's in hand.
12:50Yes, sir.
12:52We're currently working on the basis that one of the four residents did it.
12:56We just need to work out which one it was and how they did it.
13:00And why.
13:01So, pretty much everything.
13:06You look smart, sir.
13:09Going somewhere nice?
13:10Yacht Club.
13:12Lobster night.
13:12Lobster night, eh?
13:18That's why you're looking so snappy.
13:22You know, it's snappy.
13:24Like, claws.
13:26No, no, no.
13:27Lobster claws.
13:27I get the joke, Inspector.
13:29I just didn't find it very funny.
13:35Enjoy your evenings?
13:36You too, sir.
13:37Snappy.
13:38Like claws, you know.
13:38No, I need to get this.
13:45Hello, mate.
13:48Excuse me, Commissioner.
13:52Anton Bousset.
13:55How long has it been since we last...
13:57Crossed paths?
13:59Or were you going to say crossed swords?
14:02I hadn't decided before you got me off.
14:04How can I help you, Mr. Bousset?
14:08Anton, please.
14:10We're going to publish an article about you, Commissioner.
14:13And I want to give you the right to respond.
14:17Here is a draft copy of the piece.
14:22Let me know when you're ready to talk.
14:29Inspector.
14:30That was your contact at the Met, wasn't it?
14:32You know where Solomon is?
14:33Palm Beach Hotel.
14:35I'm coming with you.
14:52What's it like?
14:54It's something I could easily live without.
14:57But once you have your own private jet,
14:59it's hard to give that up, you know?
15:00I love it, ladies.
15:05It's a fun night, right?
15:10Solomon.
15:12Merlin!
15:13Oh!
15:14I'm just seeing you here, man.
15:16We're just talking about you.
15:17Come, come, come, come, come, come.
15:19Meet Tashel and Tashana.
15:22This is my brother, would you believe?
15:24Murphy!
15:25We're half-brothers.
15:26Where's my stuff?
15:27You stole from me and I want my things back.
15:29I never stole anything.
15:31He gets confused sometimes.
15:33Had a bump to his head a few years back.
15:34Solomon!
15:36I'm not joking around.
15:38You get me my things now,
15:39or I arrest you.
15:40It's your choice.
15:42Okay, man.
15:44I understand.
15:44Let me trust him.
15:53Sarah!
15:54Sarah, are you okay?
15:55I'm fine!
15:56Go and get him!
15:57Oh, my God!
15:58Oh, my God!
16:21They can have assaulting a police officer to theft them breaking and entering.
16:24Mervyn!
16:25My brother, please don't do this to me.
16:28I'm sorry, all right? I just...
16:31I really needed the money.
16:33I'm in debt.
16:34And it's to the kind of person you don't much want to be in debt to.
16:39I'm sorry I let you down. I just...
16:44I didn't know what else to do.
16:46I just need my stuff back, Sol.
16:4924 hours.
16:51Otherwise, I'm pressing charges. Do you understand?
16:55I appreciate it, ma'am.
16:56Come on.
16:57Come on.
16:58Come on.
16:59Come on.
17:00Come on.
17:01Come on.
17:02Come on.
17:03Come on.
17:04Come on.
17:05Come on.
17:06Come on.
17:07Come on.
17:08Come on.
17:09Come on.
17:10Come on.
17:11Come on.
17:42Come on.
17:43Come on.
17:44Come on.
17:45Come on.
17:46Come on.
17:47Come on.
17:48Come on.
17:49Come on.
17:50Let's go.
17:51Come on.
17:52Come on.
17:53Come on.
17:54Come on.
17:55I've been reading the victim's notes on both couples.
17:58She records a lot after her sessions with them,
18:01especially on the dictaphone, but it's okay.
18:04Officer Rose is working on it.
18:06Yes. Yes, I am. I am totally on top of it.
18:10So don't you worry, inspector.
18:13It seems the warburst came out here
18:15because they've been having intimacy issues.
18:19It's been 18 months since they were last intimate with each other.
18:25When you say intimate, you mean intimate?
18:28Yes. And according to the notes, the issue is entirely on Luke's side.
18:33And in one of their last sessions,
18:35Miss Mayhew got him to admit why he was like this.
18:39Go on.
18:4018 months ago, Luke was unfaithful.
18:43He had a one-night thing.
18:45Naughty, naughty boy.
18:47Mm-hmm. With him wife's sister.
18:50Cha-cha. Oh, sorry, what?
18:53Mm-hmm. And ever since, he's been wracked with guilt and shame.
18:56Why? He's been a busy, busy man.
18:58I mean, that explains why he can't do the business.
19:01Mm-hmm.
19:03Now, Kira told him that he needs to confront it,
19:08that he can't ignore it anymore.
19:10She was suggesting he tell Stacy.
19:13I think she knew their marriage couldn't move forward based on a betrayal like that.
19:17Is that what Kira Mayhew was referring to when she said...
19:22My instinct on this is that a lie is being told.
19:26So, Luke killed her to silence her?
19:29Stop the truth coming out?
19:35It's a cliche, isn't it?
19:37Saying something's the biggest mistake of your life.
19:40How did it happen?
19:41Oh, I don't know. I just...
19:45People flirt, you know?
19:47With Stacy, we go for a night out and the blokes swarm in.
19:51I mean, you've seen her. She's gorgeous.
19:53She could have anyone if she wanted.
19:56And what happened with me and Shell, her sister,
19:59it felt like I was...
20:01Like I was proving myself that I've still got it too, you know?
20:05But something in you must have wanted to come clean,
20:08because you admitted it to Kira Mayhew.
20:10I thought she'd help.
20:11In what way?
20:12Obsolve me of the guilt if I opened up.
20:16I think that's a priest you're after.
20:18But all she said was that the marriage couldn't survive.
20:20if it was built on a betrayal like that.
20:24She's normally so calm and measured, but with that...
20:29It really bothered her.
20:31Like she wasn't gonna let it go.
20:34And that's what worried you.
20:35Panicked you that she would tell Stacy herself.
20:38And then you'd lose your gorgeous wife completely.
20:41But you weren't gonna let that happen,
20:42and that is why you murdered Kira Mayhew.
20:44No.
20:45No.
20:46That's why I've come to you,
20:48because I know what it looks like.
20:51But it wasn't me who killed her.
20:53I swear to you.
20:57Alright.
21:00That's all for now.
21:01What a moron.
21:16Sir?
21:17Inspector.
21:18Post-mortem's in.
21:19Confirms what we thought.
21:20Water in the victim's lungs confirms she died due to drowning.
21:30Finger marks on her shoulders and neck suggest she was forced under the water.
21:35But how did the killer manage to do it?
21:38To leave from the dinner table here, run down to the beach, drown Kira, then get back to the dinner table, seemingly with not a spot of water on them.
21:48And in just a few minutes.
21:50And how does this figure into all of this?
21:52Why was it at our crime scene?
21:54You do know things get washed up on beaches all the time.
21:58Yeah.
21:59But a bingo ball?
22:01Officer Rose?
22:04Officer Rose?
22:07Officer Rose?
22:09Officer Rose?
22:11Huh?
22:12Have you made any progress with the tapes yet?
22:14No progress as such.
22:16But I assure you, when I get something, you'll be the first to know.
22:19Inspector, I just spoke with the victim's mum, Sandra.
22:23Go on.
22:24To this day, her mum doesn't know why Kira left the UK.
22:28She didn't just want a change of scene?
22:30No.
22:31It was totally out of the blue.
22:33Overnight, Kira left her fiancé, announced that she was setting up a practice abroad, never even kept in touch with any of her friends.
22:40So it got me thinking, could Kira Mayhew's murder be connected to something that happened back in the UK?
22:46Hmm.
22:47Hmm.
22:48Hmm.
22:49Hmm.
22:50Also, sir, Kira's mum spoke with her just before that swim, while she was heading down to the beach.
23:00And she's...
23:03Officer Rose, see what's going on out there, will you?
23:06I...
23:07I'm sorry.
23:08I'm sorry.
23:09I'm sorry.
23:10I'm sorry.
23:11I'm sorry.
23:12We're...
23:13I'm sorry.
23:14I'm sorry.
23:15I'm sorry.
23:16Anyway, she said Kira seemed distracted.
23:17Distant, even.
23:18Her mum said it was like she wasn't even present.
23:19Inspector, some big-headed brother in our sports car is asking for you.

29:00Oh, hey, Sarge.
29:12Yeah, all right there.
29:13You same boat?
29:14Yeah, just, um, yeah.
29:16What are you doing here?
29:18Been having drinks with a friend from Jamaica.
29:20I was just on my way home when I see the lights around.
29:23And I realize Officer Rose is working late.
29:26Why is Officer Rose working late?
29:29I'm asking myself.
29:29Yeah, just, um, going through these tapes.
29:34Still.
29:36Still on these tapes.
29:40And which one you on now, then?
29:42Tape number two.
29:46Two? Tape two? Is that all?
29:48I'm sorry, Sarge.
29:49It's just every time I start listening,
29:51my mind just wanders somewhere else.
29:54Then I start thinking about other things.
29:56So then I rewind the tape to the beginning.
29:58But then the same thing happens all over again.
30:01It's...
30:02It's just...
30:07My brain, you know?
30:10Can get a bit fidgety sometimes.
30:12Like, I know what I'm meant to be doing.
30:15And I intentionally try to do it.
30:17But my mind just does its own a thing.
30:19I just want to finish this.
30:27Hmm.
30:29All right.
30:30How about...
30:32We go through this together.
30:34You and me.
30:36You sure, Sarge?
30:37I know.
30:39If it was me here needing assistance,
30:42you would do exactly the same thing.
30:44Right?
30:47No.
30:50I'm just joking.
30:51Of course I would.
30:51No question.
30:53So there you go, then.
30:56All right.
30:57Let's do this thing.
31:02My boy.
31:03So, you have a good time with your friend?
31:08Oh, it was cool, you know.
31:09Yeah?
31:10Nice to hear all the gossip going on back in Kingston.
31:15You know, you never did tell me why you left Jamaica.
31:17I left because of a guy I was seeing.
31:30Things got complicated between us.
31:34And, um...
31:37I just realized the best thing that I could do
31:40was just to turn and walk away.
31:46Hmm.
31:47Hmm.
32:16Hmm.
32:16good morning isaac good morning good morning clarence good morning ah how was the catch this

33:31oh nice one how about you two you got something so the tapes care of me who recorded over the last
33:40week there was 10 hours of it and throughout it all when she talks about alistair and margot hartnell
33:47she doesn't once mention they lost their daughter she was only 17 seems their marriage has been
33:53struggling ever since which was kind of odd right so we did some digging their daughter charlotte was
34:02killed in a car accident a hit and run but the person who did it was never found all that was
34:08known was that it was a female driver only the hit and run happened outside the family home in
34:15islington kira mayhew's practice was just over a mile away also it happened on the 1st of april 2021
34:23and kira mayhew she moved over here six weeks later is it possible that that's what it was
34:31kira was behind a car accident
34:33that's good work a pair of you well done you can get that dusted and uh we're going to talk to the heart
34:42of you we didn't come here because we suspected kira mayhew was a woman who killed our daughter
34:53we came in a last ditch attempt to save our marriage truly we did then why did you never
34:59mention to miss mayhew the fact that you lost your daughter by your own admission your relationship
35:05problem started five years ago at the same time
35:10we didn't talk about it with her because we never talk about it it's easier if we don't
35:17margot tries bless her or used to you know to try to get me to open up but
35:22i just can't bear it
35:27i don't want to lose her i want to fix
35:29our marriage but i can't if i have to churn all that up again
35:36i'm just not strong enough it's all right my love
35:50if the hartnalls didn't come here for revenge then the question still remains why did kira mayhew leave
35:55london five years ago what happened to make her suddenly up sticks and move to the other side of
35:59the world please give me a call when you get this just just let me know you're okay
36:09so it's stacy i think she's had a meltdown i haven't seen her since yesterday
36:14i think she knew i think kira told her about me and her sister

36:27i saw she was upset crying so i went over as soon as she said she was staying at the conference
36:48retreat i called you couldn't get much from her except
36:54she didn't want me to phone her husband yeah well that's hardly surprising
37:02sir um
37:05maybe i should take this one
37:07can you tell me when you found out mrs warber
37:18amir
37:23Can you tell me when you found out, Mrs. Warbur?
37:36Thursday night.
37:37I went to get some air on the beach and Kira was there.
37:41She'd been drinking.
37:43She'd not seen it like that.
37:44She'd always been so composed.
37:47She could hardly stand up, so I helped her back to her bungalow.
37:51She was sort of rambling.
37:53Talking about some guy who had betrayed her back in England before she moved here.
37:58I'd been cheating on her.
38:00I got her home and put her on the couch.
38:03And she looked me in the eyes and spoke to me.
38:05Oh, Stacey.
38:07Like it really mattered.
38:08Don't be like me.
38:10Don't be, Stacey.
38:11There was just something in the way she'd said it.
38:15Then I knew she'd had a one-to-one session with Luke that day and maybe whatever he'd said had, like, triggered her.
38:20I reminded her of her own betrayal.
38:23That's why she was drunk.
38:24So, when she was asleep, I saw her notebook.
38:33I felt sick.
38:35Couldn't even process it.
38:38Couldn't even breathe.
38:39So, I just pretended I didn't know.
38:44Stacey, you've been through a lot in the last couple of days.
38:50If you were in denial, if Kira was pressing you to confront what you'd found out...
38:56No.
38:57No, I didn't.
38:58I admit there was all this pent-up stuff inside me, but I didn't kill Kira.
39:04I swear.
39:13All right.
39:15Well, thank you for talking with me, Mr. Shaw.
39:18What did the ex-boyfriend have to say for himself?
39:20The ex-fiancé, the affair he was having, had been going on for three whole years behind Kira's back when she found out.
39:29Wow.
39:29That must have flawed her.
39:31I mean, her job is to provide relationship advice, and all the time she was blind to a three-year-long deception.
39:37Explains why she suddenly upped and left for another country.
39:40And why Luke's betrayal triggered her so much.
39:43And why she had one or three over the limit.
39:45But, it still doesn't explain why she was murdered three nights ago.
39:51Inspector, deus Thomas, I think we got something.
40:01Patrick Campbell, therapist.
40:04Consultation fee, $150.
40:07He's based in Guadalupe.
40:09Specialises in hypnotherapy.
40:11Kira called him Friday afternoon, asking for advice.
40:15He offered to share their conversation as part of our investigation.
40:20On what?
40:21She said a client of hers, Margot Hartnell, had just opened up to her, and was struggling with the memory of an event of her recent past.
40:28Because she had completely blocked it out.
40:31Which, apparently, is not uncommon for people dealing with traumatic experiences.
40:34And according to Mr. Campbell, it's a pretty unorthodox approach for Kira to resort to hypnotherapy so early on in the process.
40:42But she was convinced it was necessary.
40:44So, this forgotten memory, do we know what it's to do with?
40:48The night their daughter was killed in a hit and run five years ago.
40:52Mrs. Hartnell does not remember a thing about it.
40:56But ever since, she's been growing this feeling of guilt.
41:00You know?
41:01Like, maybe she might have done something bad that night.
41:07Wait.
41:07You don't mean...
41:10All that was known was that it was a female driver.
41:15Mrs. Hartnell wanted it all off the record.
41:18That's why there was nothing in her notes or recordings.
41:20Right, we need to talk to Mrs. Hartnell and that therapist.
41:25We need him here sharpish.
41:27Come on.
41:29Well, at first it was just guilt I felt.
41:32Our grief counsellor said it was normal as a parent to feel a sense of responsibility.
41:36Look, whatever I did five years ago, I want the truth to come out.
41:41If you think I killed Keira Mayhew because I wanted to stop that happening, you're wrong.
41:47She arranged for me to have hypnotherapy today.
41:49Well, that can still happen, Mrs. Hartnell.
41:52We've arranged for a hypnotherapist to speak with you, if you feel you're able.
41:58Inspector!
41:59If you wouldn't mind going with Sergeant Fletcher.
42:03Yeah.
42:08I guess all we can do now is wait.
42:16Ah.
42:17We're back to the bingo ball.
42:19Inspector!
42:21Sarge.
42:22Just got back from dusting off the bingo ball machine for prints.
42:26Unfortunately, nothing.
42:29What's up with the inspector?
42:36Am I all right?
42:39Inspector!
42:40Everything all right, sir?
42:41You've got something?
42:45Sir, what are you doing?
42:49It's a little experiment.
42:51The bingo balls float.
42:53The bingo ball floats.
43:10Yeah.
43:10OK, so, why take it out of the bingo ball cage thingy and bring it to the sea, to the water's edge?
43:21Was it just to see if it floats?
43:23Or, maybe it's to see where it goes.
43:27In which case, sir, how did one of them manage to leave the dinner table, run down to the beach,
43:38somehow get themselves 100 metres out to sea, drown Keira Mayhew?
43:42None of them left the table for more than two to three minutes at a time.
43:46And was that a regular thing, her going for a swim at that time?
43:50Like, most evenings.
43:52She said Keira seemed distracted.
43:59Of course!
44:01That's why you were there, you little beauty!
44:08OK, I need to speak to a fisherman or an oceanographer-ologist type of person.
44:13Basically, anyone who knows the currents in this bay.
44:15Dears Thomas, I need a toxicology report done on Keira Mayhew.
44:19Officer Rose, I need you to collect some evidence from her office.
44:22But you know who did it?
44:24I do.
44:25And I know how they managed to drown Keira Mayhew 100 metres out of sea
44:30without even stepping a foot in the water.
44:33Come on!
44:37For those wondering why Margot Hartnell isn't here with us,
44:41it's because she's currently with a hypnotherapist.
44:44Doing what she was always supposed to be doing today.
44:46Trying to recover a buried memory of what really happened five years ago.
44:52The night her daughter died.
44:54Why am I telling you this?
44:56Because Margot's therapy sessions were meant to be conducted by Keira Mayhew
45:01until somebody tried to stop the truth from coming out.
45:06By murdering her.
45:08Mr Hartnell.
45:12Me?
45:13I did no such thing.
45:15Oh.
45:15Oh, but you did.
45:16I know you did.
45:18But how?
45:18I was at dinner when it happened.
45:20On dry bloody land.
45:21Yeah, you were.
45:23Which is why it was so clever of you.
45:25But now that I've got a better understanding of what's gone on,
45:28I believe you created a small window of opportunity
45:31in which to commit murder.
45:33But not 100 metres out at sea.
45:36You drowned Keira Mayhew right outside your own bungalow.
45:40Because from the very start of this case,
45:45we've worked on the assumption that as Miss Mayhew's body was discovered
45:48100 metres out at sea in a straight line from where she swam,
45:53that's where she was drowned.
45:55But what if actually when Miss Mayhew went for her evening dip,
46:00she preferred to swim along the shore rather than out from it?
46:04That would mean she'd have to swim past your bungalow farther along the beach.
46:11And that would give you opportunity to commit murder.
46:16But when?
46:17I told you I was at dinner when it happened.
46:21Yeah, we have security camera footage that shows you leaving the dinner table
46:25to get your glasses at 18 minutes past seven.
46:28I was gone, what, a couple of minutes, three minutes at the most.
46:32You're not seriously suggesting I was able to physically drown
46:37a fit and healthy woman in that time without getting soaked in water?
46:40Yeah, sounds impossible, right?
46:43But I don't think Miss Mayhew was as fit and healthy as she might normally be.
46:48I believe you sedated her.
46:52We know that your wife uses sleeping pills.
46:55None of us been to bed.
46:57None of us took a sleeping pill.
46:58And we also know that you are the last person to have a one-to-one session
47:03with Miss Mayhew that day at 5pm.
47:05One-to-one sessions in the afternoon with Stacey Warbur,
47:09then Alistair Hartnell.
47:10And while there,
47:13we believe you spiked her drink
47:18when she wasn't looking.
47:20We didn't believe Kira was drugged
47:22because the finger marks on her neck
47:24suggested she was held down by force and drowned.
47:27We're awaiting the toxicology report
47:29and results from the glass Kira drank from.
47:32And I've no doubt we'll get confirmation
47:34that there were significant traces of sleeping pills in her system.
47:37And so, while Miss Mayhew was swimming,
47:42she suddenly felt drowsy and swam ashore.
47:47When you returned to your bungalow
47:50under the pretense of getting your glasses,
47:52you ran down to the beach
47:54where Miss Mayhew was lying unconscious on the sand.
47:57And then you did two things.
47:58First, you grabbed her neck and shoulders,
48:02making sure to leave bruises
48:04so it would look like someone had strangled her
48:08and forced her under the water.
48:10Before moving her into the sea
48:12for her to be carried away,
48:15making sure that she was face down
48:17so that still unconscious,
48:19her lungs would fill with water.
48:21It took less than a minute.
48:25All you had to do now
48:26was hurry back to the dinner table
48:27and leave Kira to drown
48:29and let the sea do the rest of the work for you.
48:34We checked with a local oceanologist at the university
48:38and the current in this bay
48:40moves in a north-westerly direction,
48:43which means it would have carried
48:46Miss Mayhew's body diagonally,
48:48taking her from your bungalow here
48:50to where her body was discovered here.
48:53And with her clothes being left on the beach here,
48:56we'd all assume she swam in a straight line.
49:02Now, you had no idea
49:03where the currents would take Kira's body.
49:05So, you had to test it first, didn't you?
49:10You went and found this.
49:13And you threw it into the sea
49:15to observe which route it took,
49:16which was conveniently in a north-westerly direction,
49:19from your bungalow directly
49:21to where Kira began her nightly swim.
49:23And that's when your plan finally came together.
49:26Kira's body was found still at sea
49:28not long after she drowned.
49:31But this ball, left overnight,
49:34ended up washing up a shawl.
49:35And that was your undoing.
49:37But why would you do this to her?
49:39Because he didn't want Kira to help his wife remember.
49:44Well, remember what?
49:45What he did.
49:53I remember, Alistair.
49:57I remember all of it.
50:01All the horror of it.
50:02You rushing in
50:05and telling me someone had hurt our little girl.
50:10And I remember the ambulance
50:12and the police
50:14and the shock and the pain.
50:19And I remember you coming in
50:22and holding me in tears shaking.
50:29Both of us heartbroken.
50:32And I remember in that moment
50:36the smell of alcohol
50:40on your breath.
50:44And I remember coming back inside
50:47and seeing you.
50:57I checked the original case file, Mr Hartnell.
51:00And the phone call to the police
51:03in which the hit-and-run driver
51:04was described as female
51:06came from an anonymous caller.
51:10That was you, wasn't it?
51:12Trying to direct suspicion away from yourself.
51:22I would have lost everything.
51:23Alistair Hartnell.
51:34I'm arresting you on suspicion
51:35of the murder of Kira Mayhew.
51:37You didn't have to say anything,
51:39but it may harm your defence
51:40if you do not mention when questioned
51:42something you later reliant in court.
51:43I never want to see you ever again.
51:59Well, well, well.
52:17Good evening to you both.
52:19Good evening.
52:20Catherine, we spoke at Marianne Edwards'
52:23charity barbecue, I think.
52:24I don't remember.
52:26I certainly enjoyed our little chat.
52:31Commissioner, can I get you a rub?
52:32That won't be necessary.
52:34This won't take that long.
52:36Think I'll have one, Catherine,
52:37if you wouldn't mind.
52:40I appreciate you giving me
52:42an advance copy of the article.
52:45Here is my written statement in response.
52:50Saying?
52:50I agree with every single word
52:55you've written.
52:59Sorry?
53:00After receiving some sage advice
53:02from my good friend here,
53:04as I say in my statement,
53:06it hurt to think that
53:08the bond I had forged
53:09with this island
53:11had been broken.
53:13But the circumstances
53:14were of my own making.
53:16So,
53:17I will be the one to fix it.
53:19And how will you do that?
53:21As of tomorrow,
53:22I will be commencing
53:24an initiative
53:24with my team.
53:26And with a little help
53:27from the Highlands Mayor.
53:29An initiative
53:29to strengthen
53:31our relationship
53:33with the community.
53:35So,
53:36if you'll excuse me,
53:37I have work to do.
53:39Good evening.
53:39I love you.
53:41Good evening.
53:43Well,
53:44he just killed
53:46my article,
53:47didn't he?
53:48With one single shot.
53:51I think
53:53he maybe just has.
53:56Enjoy your evening.
53:58Oh?
54:28Sorry, mate. That's my hat.
54:53Hey, Sol.
54:54Look, I just got home and I saw you brought all my stuff back.
55:00Oh, you know, word of the old Solomon Clark magic.
55:04Yeah, well, I just wanted to say thank you.
55:07Did you have to give my little money back?
55:09I mean, you're not indebted, are you?
55:11Ah, don't worry yourself.
55:13Anyway, man, got to get the boat back to Antigua.
55:16Got some business over there that needs attendant.
55:19Of course you have.
55:20I mean, there's always something going on in Solomonland, right?
55:24You said it.
55:28Um, look.
55:32What about us now?
55:34I mean, what do we do next?
55:38I don't know, man.
55:39Like you said, I am troubled.
55:42A detective doesn't need that in his life.
55:44So, I didn't mean...
55:46Maybe I shouldn't have said that.
55:48Okay.
55:49No disrespect to you, bro, but...
55:52Ain't much good to me having a police officer around.
55:55Got a reputation to keep.
55:57Yeah, yeah, no, I...
55:59You totally understand.
56:02Look, man.
56:04We tried this and...
56:07Maybe it just wasn't meant to be here, no?
56:10Look after yourself, brother.
56:11Yeah, you too.
56:13Look, Solomon, I...
56:29I'm very happy.
56:30Yeahe-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah.
56:34Yeah!
56:36Yeah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah.
56:39Hey!
56:40Go!
56:41Give me every morning
56:42You do your long, you do your long
56:46If what you're doing is wrong
56:49I saw you passing by
56:54Hello neighbor, quiet morning
56:59Was?
57:00Henry Ashby, moved to St. Marie 10 years ago
57:03Henry was definitely mixed up in something murky
57:05The victim's copy of this book was missing from his bookshelf
57:07So, where is it?
57:09I need to reassure you that this island still matters to me
57:14Why did the detective not bother showing up?
57:17Why was your moped seen outside the victim's villa up in the hills?
57:21Did you ever catch them, Inspector?
57:23I'd sleep much better knowing you did
57:24It wasn't me!
