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00:29Love has been replaced by hostility.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.
01:30Because I know I'm not giving you what you need.
01:35That's so sweet, babe.
01:37On the surface, they have a loving marriage, but 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, I'm sorry.
01:56I'm sorry, sorry, could I take five?
01:59It's okay.
02:00It's okay.
02:01Of course.
02:02It's okay, Luke.
02:04Take your time.
02:05I mean...
02:06It's okay.
02:07It's all part of the process.
02:10It's Friday, it's the beginning of the weekend now, but Monday will be a big day.
02:15I have exciting plans.
02:17I think that there could be a real breakthrough.
02:22Hello.
02:23Darling.
02:24Wine's good.
02:27This looks nice, doesn't it?
02:30Yeah.
02:31Hi, everyone.
02:32Hi.
02:33I just wanted to say thank you very much for all your hard work and your commitment this week.
02:39You should be very proud of yourselves.
02:41There's more for us to do next week, but for now, enjoy your evening.
02:49Right, bon appetit.
02:51Cheers, everyone.
02:52Cheers.
02:54Cheers.
03:07I just feel like every single thing I say is wrong.
03:22is wrong. Every word, every utterance. She pounces on her like a wild animal.
03:28Yeah, she 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 Keira's stuff. Can't still be swimming, can she?
03:52Yeah.
03:55Yeah.
03:56Yeah.
03:58Oh my god.
04:01Yeah.
04:03Yeah, I'm gonna take care of that man.
04:07That's a good thing.
04:11Yeah.
04:13Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:18Yeah, yeah...
04:50My ex wanted me to try that kind of thing, couples therapy.
04:55Not my cup of tea.
04:56You don't think it could be good for a relationship?
04:59Opening up more and sharing with each other?
05:03Nah.
05:04Ah, crime scene.
05:07Inspector, I don't think you should wear that to the crime scene.
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.
05:32That'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.
05:53The victim is Kira Mayhew.
05:5542 years old, fully qualified clinical therapist.
05:59Ran a couple's retreat here.
06:01Cars of death looks like a drowning.
06:03Went for a swim at 7 o'clock yesterday evening
06:06and at 9 o'clock, two fishermen came across a body
06:09about 100 metres out, directly opposite this spot.
06:13They watched over the body until the paramedics arrived.
06:16Who else was here last night?
06:18About six people in total.
06:20Four 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.
06:28More 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
06:44I just found a bingo ball at the crime scene?
06:47I'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.
06:5613.
06:57I'm looking for some.
06:58I mean, it probably doesn't have much to do with Kira Mayhew's murder, though, 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.
07:22Oh.
07:23I'll keep hold of that.
07:24Sure.
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,
07:42and she came and told us to have a nice night.
07:45Enjoy your evening.
07:48What time was that?
07:50Just before seven.
07:51She went for a swim and didn't see her again until she was, was, um...
07:56Dead.
07:59Just say it.
08:00And 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, you were...
08:20We were all together having dinner.
08:21Look, it wasn't one of us, OK?
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.
08:37Don't apologise for me, Alistair.
08:39You know I hate it when you do that.
08:41Sorry, dear.
08:41And don't call me dear, either.
08:43No, of course not.
08:44Sorry for God.
08:46OK.
08:48Well, if you think of anything, let us know.
08:51God help us.
09:01I spoke with the staff who can alibi each other for the time of the murder.
09:05They were preparing dinner between 7 and 9.
09:09You're Tinky 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.
09:15Always paid them on time, was friendly.
09:18Any idea you'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?
09:33Not great.
09:35We said we'd speak tomorrow when she might be a little bit calmer.
09:39I found this.
09:39Date and time is yesterday.
09:465.52 in the afternoon.
09:48That's just over an hour before her swim.
09:51It'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.
10:06My instinct on this is that a lie is being told.
10:17If 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.
10:36On one hand, all the four guests were having dinner together at the time of Kira Mayhew's murder.
10:43Now, 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.
10:57All right.
10:59Now, here.
10:59At 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 makeup.
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 two to three minutes.
11:33And they all returned dry as a bone.
11:35Okay, so, how did one of them manage to leave the dinner table, run down to the beach, get themselves somehow out to sea 100 meters, drown Kira Mayhew...
11:45Then come all the way back, dry off, before returning to the table in less than a few minutes.
11:52Well, that's just not possible.
12:07All 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.
12:16Oh, these tapes are teeny tiny.
12:20Look, they make me look like a giant.
12:22Says the giants.
12:24Yes.
12:25So, printed the victim's schedule the day of her murder.
12:28Trust exercises in the morning.
12:31Sounds 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 harm.
12:51Yes, 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.
13:13Hmm?
13:16Lobster night, eh?
13:18That's why you're looking so snappy.
13:22You know, 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.
13:34Enjoy your evenings?
13:36You too, sir.
13:37Snappy.
13:38Like claws, you know.
13:39No, I need to get this.
13:45Hello, mate.
13:48Excuse me, Commissioner.
13:52Anton Bousset.
13:54How 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 caught me off.
14:06How 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?
14:34Palm Beach Hotel.
14:35I'm coming with you.
14:52What's it like?
14:53It's something I could easily live without.
14:57But once you have your own private jet, it's hard to give that up, you know?
15:01I love it.
15:03Ladies, here's for fun night, right?
15:10Solomon.
15:12Mervyn.
15:13Oh, Francis 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, or I arrest you.
15:40It's your choice.
15:41It's okay, man.
15:44I understand.
15:45Let me just...
15:48Oh, God!
15:54Sir, are you okay?
15:55I'm fine!
15:56Come and get in!
16:11Now you can have assaulting a police officer to theft and breaking and enter it.
16:25Mervyn, my brother, please don't do this to me.
16:28I'm sorry, all right?
16:30I just...
16:30I really needed the money.
16:33I'm in debt.
16:35And it's to the kind of person you don't much want to be in debt to.
16:40I'm sorry I let you down.
16:41I just...
16:43I didn't know what else to do.
16:45I just need my stuff back, Sol.
16:4924 hours.
16:52Otherwise, I'm pressing charges.
16:53Do you understand?
16:55Appreciate it, Mom.
16:56So, we dusted the bingo ball for prints, sir, like you requested.
17:16But got nothing from it.
17:17Oh.
17:18Oh, well.
17:19Worth a try, eh?
17:21Right.
17:22What else we got?
17:23We've done background on both couples.
17:27The Hartnells live in Islington in London.
17:30He's a barrister.
17:31She runs a luxury interior design business.
17:34Ah, very Islington.
17:35They did a brief spell of grief counselling with another therapist,
17:39shortly after their daughter died.
17:41She was only 17.
17:44Seems their marriage has been struggling ever since.
17:47What about the Warbers?
17:49Also live in London.
17:51Luke works in finance, earns well.
17:54Has been married to Stacey for three years.
17:56I've been reading the victim's notes on both couples.
17:59She records a lot after her sessions with them,
18:02especially on the dictaphone.
18:04But it's okay.
18:05Officer Rose is working on it.
18:07Yes.
18:08Yes, I am.
18:09I am totally on top of it.
18:11So, don't you worry, Inspector.
18:14It seems the Warbers came out here
18:16because they've been having intimacy issues.
18:20It's been 18 months since they were last intimate with each other.
18:25When you say intimate, you mean intimate?
18:28Yes.
18:29And according to the notes,
18:31the issue is entirely on Luke's side.
18:33And in one of their last sessions,
18:35Miss Mayhew got in to admit why he was like this.
18:40Go on.
18:4118 months ago, Luke was unfaithful.
18:44He had a one-night thing.
18:46Naughty, naughty boy.
18:47Mm-hmm.
18:48With him wife's sister.
18:50Cha-cha.
18:52Oh, sorry, what?
18:53Mm-hmm.
18:54And ever since, he's been wracked with guilt and shame.
18:56Why?
18:57He's been a busy, busy man.
18:59I mean, that explains why he can't do the business.
19:02Mm-hmm.
19:03Now, Kira told him
19:06that he needs to confront it,
19:08that he can't ignore it anymore.
19:10She was suggesting he tell Stacey.
19:13I think she knew their marriage couldn't move forward
19:15based on a betrayal like that.
19:18Is that what Kira Mayhew was referring to when she said...
19:22My instinct on this is that a lie is being told.
19:27So, Luke killed her to silence her?
19:30Stop the truth coming out?
19:36It's a cliche, isn't it?
19:38Saying something's the biggest mistake of your life.
19:41How did it happen?
19:42Oh, I don't know.
19:43I just...
19:44People flirt, you know?
19:48With Stacey, we go for a night out
19:50and the blokes swarm in.
19:52I mean, you've seen her.
19:53She's gorgeous.
19:54She could have anyone if she wanted.
19:57And what happened with me and Chelle, her sister,
20:00it felt like I was...
20:02Like I was proving myself
20:04that I've still got it too, you know?
20:06But something in you must have wanted to come clean
20:08because you admitted it to Kira Mayhew.
20:11I thought she'd help.
20:12In what way?
20:14Obsolve me of the guilt if I opened up?
20:17I think that's a priest you're after.
20:19But all she said was that the marriage
20:20couldn't survive if it was built
20:22on a betrayal like that.
20:25She was normally so calm and measured,
20:27but with that...
20:28It really bothered her.
20:31Like she wasn't going to let it go.
20:33And that's what worried you.
20:36Panicked you that she would tell Stacey herself.
20:39And then you'd lose your gorgeous wife completely.
20:41But you weren't going to let that happen
20:43and that is why you murdered Kira Mayhew.
20:45No.
20:46No.
20:47That's why I've come to you,
20:49because I know what it looks like.
20:51But it wasn't me who killed her.
20:54I swear to you.
20:54All right.
21:00That's all for now.
21:15What a moron.
21:17Sir?
21:17Inspector, post-mortem's in.
21:25Confirms what we thought.
21:27Water in the victim's lungs
21:28confirms she died due to droning.
21:31Finger marks on her shoulders and neck
21:33suggest she was forced under the water.
21:37But how did the killer manage to do it?
21:39To leave from the dinner table here,
21:42run down to the beach,
21:43drown Kira,
21:44and then get back to the dinner table,
21:46seemingly with not a spot of water on them.
21:49And in just a few minutes.
21:51And how does this figure into all of this?
21:53Why was it at our crime scene?
21:55You do know things get washed up on beaches
21:58all the time.
22:00Yeah.
22:00But a bingo ball?
22:04Officer Rose.
22:07Officer Rose.
22:10Officer Rose!
22:12Huh?
22:12Have you made any progress with the tapes yet?
22:15No progress as such.
22:17But I assure you,
22:18when I get something,
22:19you'll be the first to know.
22:21Inspector,
22:21I just spoke with the victim's mum, Sandra.
22:24Go on.
22:24To this day,
22:26her mum doesn't know why Kira left the UK.
22:29She didn't just want a change of scene.
22:31No,
22:31it was totally out of the blue.
22:34Overnight,
22:34Kira left her fiancƩ,
22:36announced that she was setting up a practice abroad,
22:38never even kept in touch with any of her friends.
22:40So it got me thinking,
22:43could Kira Mayhew's murder be connected to something that happened back in the UK?
22:47Hmm.
22:50Hmm.
22:51Also, sir,
22:53Kira's mum spoke with her just before that swim,
22:56while she was heading down to the beach.
23:00And she's...
23:01Officer Rose,
23:04see what's going on out there, will you?
23:10Anyway,
23:12she said Kira seemed distracted.
23:15Distant,
23:15even.
23:16Her mum said it was like she wasn't even present.
23:19Inspector,
23:21some big-headed brother in her sports car
23:23is asking for you.
23:24So,
23:35you got my stuff then?
23:36Not in a physical sense,
23:38no.
23:39What's that supposed to mean?
23:40Been a busy day.
23:41Bit of business here,
23:42bit of business there.
23:43Always somewhere I got to be in Salomon land.
23:46But,
23:48I know who has your thing,
23:50so...
23:52Jump in,
23:54and let's go get there.
24:04So this is where all my stuff is?
24:06Nice.
24:08Smurta Chastanets, please.
24:10You ever come across her?
24:11No.
24:12Funnily enough.
24:13She's the kind of person you go to
24:14if you have some things to sell
24:16that maybe other people
24:17may be less inclined to.
24:17So she fences stolen goods?
24:19It's not for me to put a label on what...
24:21So that's a yes.
24:23We'll have you reunited with your stuff in no time.
24:26She's a very amenable woman.
24:30Who is it?
24:31Myrtle?
24:32It's Salomon Clark, remember me?
24:34Got my brother here with me.
24:36It was his stuff I sold you, and...
24:40We were wondering if we could get it back.
24:41No!
24:42No, clear off!
24:44Myrtle!
24:45Honey!
24:46Don't you honey me, monster!
24:48She's a lot more vexed than I remember her being before.
24:50Myrtle?
24:51I'm going to cut to the chase.
24:52You are currently in possession of items
24:54illegally taken from my home.
24:58Myrtle?
25:03Think she's tinkin' or baltid.
25:04What the...
25:06What's she do that for?
25:12What is this stuff?
25:15It sits in my eyes.
25:17It's burning.
25:18Hot sauce.
25:18Gah! Why'd she pull hot sauce over me?
25:21I don't know, man.
25:22Ah!
25:23But it got to admit.
25:24Gah!
25:25Kind of funny.
25:25Hehehehehehe
25:27What?
25:28No, tell me what you're playing at!
25:30How much hot sauce has she got? Why has she got so much of it?
25:33I think it's some bullet thing she's got going on.
25:34If you first not sent your packet, then I will set Tiberius on you.
25:38Who's Tiberius?
25:39I don't know!
25:41Feels like we've come at a bad time.
25:43Maybe we should come back another day.
25:45They're threatening to publish this article.
25:51Doesn't hold back, does it?
25:55After everything I've done for this, I learn.
25:59This is the thanks I receive.
26:02And the fact that Anton Bousset is sharpening the knives is of no surprise to me.
26:08You and he have history?
26:12Because I have no respect for his gossip-mongering rag.
26:16This isn't journalism.
26:18This is attention-rabbing rhetoric.
26:25What?
26:29This island petitioned to get you your job back.
26:33And you walked away without any explanation, like you didn't care.
26:37And now, months later, you come back as if nothing happened.
26:42I do care.
26:45You know that.
26:46But others don't.
26:48All they know is that their commissioner of police abandoned them.
26:54It's up to you to change their minds.
26:59Oh, my eyes won't stop singing, man.
27:01Tell me about it.
27:02The sun should go down into my trousers.
27:08I'm telling you, Mervyn!
27:09There's hot sauce in place!
27:10This hot sauce is not supposed to go, Mervyn, man!
27:13That's some mighty, fiery sauce-murther's been cooking up.
27:25I mean, look at us.
27:26We're covered in this stuff.
27:28Like a couple of chicken wings.
27:29You're a...
27:47a liability soul.
27:50You know that.
27:53My life has been turned upside down since you came into it.
27:56Yeah, I kind of have that effect.
27:59I can't live like that, man.
28:06I'm a detective inspector.
28:08Do you understand that?
28:12And I need my clothes back.
28:15And I need to not be chasing around after you.
28:20This is not how I...
28:29I'm sorry, Iman.
28:30I'm sorry, Iman.
28:31I'm sorry, Iman.
28:32It's Iman.
28:33I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
28:34It's a good one.
28:35I can't live like this.
28:37I'm sorry, I can't live like this.
28:38But I'm sorry.
28:40You're not scared.
28:41I can't live like this, man.
28:42I can't live like that...
28:44Thanks, Mervyn.
28:45Oh, hey, Sarge.
29:12Yeah, right there.
29:13Are you same boat?
29:13Yeah, just, um, yeah, what 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 are on.
29:23And I realise, Officer Rose is working late.
29:27Why is Officer Rose working late?
29:29I'm asking myself.
29:30Yeah, just, um, going through these tapes, still, still on these tapes.
29:40And which one you're on now, then?
29:42Tape...
29:43Tape number two.
29:45Two?
29:46Tape two?
29:47Is that all?
29:48I'm sorry, Sarge.
29:49It's just every time I start listening, my 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.
30:02It's just...
30:07My brain, you know, can 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.
30:20I just want to finish this.
30:25Hmm.
30:27Alright.
30:28How about we go through this together?
30:33You and me.
30:35You sure, Sarge?
30:38I know.
30:39If it was me here needing assistance, you would do exactly the same thing.
30:44Right?
30:47No.
30:50I'm just joking.
30:51Of course I would.
30:52No question.
30:53So there you go, then.
30:56Alright.
30:57Let's do this thing.
31:02My boy.
31:03So, you have a good time with your friend?
31:07Oh, 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.
31:24I left because of a guy I was seeing.
31:29Things got complicated between us.
31:34And, um...
31:38I just realized the best thing that I could do...
31:42Was just to turn and walk away.
31:44Hmm.
31:47Hmm.
31:48Hmm.
31:52Hmm.
31:53Hmm.
31:57Hmm.
32:02Hmm.
32:03Good morning, Isaac.
32:27Good morning.
32:28Good morning, Clarence.
32:30Good morning.
32:31Ah.
32:32How old was the catch this morning?
32:34Wow.
32:35So soon.
32:36So soon.
32:37Let me look.
32:38Let me look.
32:39Let me see.
32:40Okay.
32:41I want that one there.
32:42That big one.
32:44Good morning, Sash.
32:47Morning.
32:48Morning.
32:49Inspector.
32:50I'm here.
32:51We got your message.
32:56What?
32:57So, I was doing a bit of nosing around the old place and bingo.
33:08Literally.
33:09Oh, so that's where it came from.
33:11Yeah, apparently this place used to be a resort for the over-sixties.
33:14So this must have been here since then.
33:16Okay.
33:17So, how do you explain one of those bingo balls ending up on the same beach as our crime scene?
33:23Well, it didn't magic itself there, did it?
33:26Somebody must have taken it from this.
33:28So we're gonna have to dust it for prints.
33:30I could do that for you, sir.
33:32Oh, nice one.
33:34How about you two?
33:36You got something?
33:37So, the tapes Cara Mayhew recorded over the last week, there was ten hours of it.
33:43And throughout it all, when she talks about Alistair and Margot Hartnell, she doesn't once mention they lost their daughter.
33:50She was only seventeen.
33:52Seems their marriage has been struggling ever since.
33:57Which was kinda odd, right?
33:59So we did some digging.
34:01Their daughter Charlotte was killed in a car accident.
34:04A hit and run.
34:05But the person who did it was never found.
34:08All that was known was that it was a female driver.
34:11Only, the hit and run happened outside the family home in Islington.
34:16Cara Mayhew's practice was just over a mile away.
34:21Also, it happened on the first of April, 2021.
34:24And Cara Mayhew, she moved over here six weeks later.
34:28Is it possible that...
34:30That's what it was.
34:31That's what it was.
34:32Cara was behind a car accident.
34:36That's good work.
34:37A pair of you.
34:38Well done.
34:39You go and get that dusted and we're gonna talk to the Hartnells.
34:42So who's gonna hold this then?
34:46We didn't come here because we suspected Cara Mayhew was a woman who killed our daughter.
34:53We came in a last ditch attempt to save our marriage.
34:56Truly, we did.
34:58Then why did you never mention to Miss Mayhew the fact that you lost your daughter?
35:03By your own admission, your relationship problem started five years ago.
35:07At the same time.
35:10We didn't talk about it with her.
35:13Because we never talk about it.
35:15It's easier if we don't.
35:17Margot tries, bless her.
35:19Or used to, you know, to try to get me to open up.
35:21But I just can't bear it.
35:27I don't want to lose her.
35:28I want to fix our marriage.
35:30But I can't if I have to churn all that up again.
35:36I'm just not strong enough.
35:38It's all right, my love.
35:39If the Hartnells didn't come here for revenge, then the question still remains.
35:54Why did Cara Mayhew leave London five years ago?
35:57What happened to make her suddenly up sticks and move to the other side of the world?
36:00Stacy, please give me a call when you get this.
36:02Just, just let me know you're okay.
36:09It's, uh, it's Stacy.
36:11I think she's had a meltdown.
36:13I haven't seen her since yesterday.
36:17I think she knew.
36:18I think Cara told her about me and her sister.
36:23Mishnah, everything all right?
36:26We'll look into it.
36:39I saw she was upset, crying.
36:44So, I went over.
36:46As soon as she said she was staying at the conference retreat, I called you.
36:51Couldn't get much from her.
36:53Except, she didn't want me to phone her husband.
36:58Yeah.
36:59Well, that's hardly surprising.
37:02Uh, sir.
37:03Um, maybe I should take this one.
37:07Everyone knows, don't they?
37:22Only us.
37:23May I?
37:30Can you tell me when you found out, Mrs Warbur?
37:33Thursday 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.
37:45She'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.
37:54Talking about some guy who had betrayed her back in England before she moved here.
37:57I'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.
38:06Oh, 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.
38:14And I knew she'd had a one-to-one session with Luke that day.
38:17And maybe whatever he'd said, like, triggered her.
38:21It reminded her of her own betrayal.
38:23That's why she was drunk.
38:26So when she was asleep, I saw her notebook.
38:34I felt sick.
38:36Couldn'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...
38:57No. No, I didn't.
38:59I admit there was all this pent-up stuff inside me, but I didn't kill Kira.
39:04I swear.
39:09No.
39:10No.
39:11No.
39:13No.
39:14All right.
39:15Well, thank you for talking with me, Mr. Shaw.
39:18What did the ex-boyfriend have to say for himself?
39:21The ex-fiancee.
39:23The affair he was having had been going on for three whole years behind Kira's back when she found out.
39:28Wow.
39:29That must have flawed her.
39:30I mean, her job is to provide relationship advice when 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.
39:42And why she had one or three over the limit.
39:46But it still doesn't explain why she was murdered three nights ago.
39:51Inspector Diaz-Thomas, I think we got something.
39:54Patrick Campbell, therapist. Consultation fee, $150.
40:07He's based in Guadalupe. Specializes in hypnotherapy.
40:11Kira called him Friday afternoon, asking for advice.
40:16He offered to share their conversation as part of our investigation.
40:20On what?
40:22She 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.
40:29Because 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.
40:45So 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, you know?
41:00Like, maybe she might have done something bad that night.
41:06Wait, you 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.
41:22Right, we need to talk to Mrs. Hartnell and that therapist.
41:25We need him here sharpish. Come on.
41:27Well, 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.
41:37Look, whatever I did five years ago, I want the truth to come out.
41:42If you think I killed Kira 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.
41:51We've arranged for a hypnotherapist to speak with you, if you feel you're able.
41:57Inspector!
41:59If you wouldn't mind going with Sergeant Fletcher.
42:03Yeah.
42:04I guess all we can do now is wait.
42:16Ah.
42:18We're back to the bingo ball.
42:20Inspector!
42:21Sarge.
42:23Just got back from dusting off the bingo ball machine for prints.
42:26Unfortunately, nothing.
42:27Nothing.
42:34What's up with the inspector?
42:36Am I alright?
42:39Inspector!
42:40Everything alright, sir? You've got something?
42:45Sir, what are you doing?
42:49It's a little experiment.
42:51The bingo balls float.
42:57Yeah.
42:58Okay.
43:00So, why take it out of the bingo ball cage thingy and bring it to the sea? To the water's edge?
43:08Was it just to see if it floats?
43:11Or, maybe it's to see where it goes?
43:14In which case...
43:15So, how did one of them manage to leave the dinner table, run down to the beach, somehow get themselves a hundred meters out to sea, drown Keira Mayhew?
43:17None of them left the table from water.
43:18Why?
43:19Why?
43:20Take it out of the bingo ball cage thingy and bring it to the sea? To the water's edge?
43:22Was it just to see if it floats?
43:24Or, maybe it's to see where it goes?
43:28In which case...
43:30So, how did one of them manage to leave the dinner table, run down to the beach, somehow get themselves a hundred meters out to sea, drown Keira Mayhew?
43:42None of them left the table for more than two to three minutes at a time.
43:47And was that a regular thing, or going for a swim at that time?
43:51Most evenings.
43:53She said Keira seemed distracted.
44:00Of course!
44:02That's why you were there, you little beauty!
44:04Mwah!
44:08Okay, I need to speak to a fisherman, or an oceanographer-ologist type of person, basically anyone who knows the currents in this bay.
44:16T.S. Thomas, I need a toxicology report done on Keira Mayhew.
44:19Officer Rose, I need you to collect some evidence from her office.
44:23But, you know who did it?
44:24I do.
44:25And I know how they managed to drown Keira Mayhew a hundred meters out at sea, without even stepping a foot in the water!
44:32Come on!
44:33For those wondering why Margot Hartnell isn't here with us, it's because she's currently with a hypnotherapist.
44:44Doing what she was always supposed to be doing today.
44:47Trying to recover a buried memory of what really happened five years ago.
44:51The 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.
45:02Until somebody tried to stop the truth from coming out.
45:05By murdering her.
45:07Mr. Hartnell.
45:12Me? I did no such thing.
45:15Oh, but you did. I know you did.
45:17But how? I was at dinner when it happened. On dry bloody land.
45:22Yeah, you were. Which is why it was so clever of you.
45:25But now that I've got a better understanding of what's gone on, I believe you created a small window of opportunity in which to commit murder.
45:33But not a hundred meters out at sea.
45:36You drowned Keira Mayhew right outside your own bungalow.
45:40Because from the very start of this case, we've worked on the assumption that as Miss Mayhew's body was discovered 100 meters out at sea in a straight line from where she swam, that's where she was drowned.
45:54But what if actually, when Miss Mayhew went for her evening dip, she preferred to swim along the shore rather than out from it?
46:05That would mean she'd have to swim past your bungalow farther along the beach.
46:11And that would give you opportunity to commit murder.
46:14But when? I told you I was at dinner when it happened.
46:21Yeah, we have security camera footage that shows you leaving the dinner table to get your glasses at 18 minutes past seven.
46:28I was gone, what, a couple of minutes, three minutes at the most.
46:33You're not seriously suggesting I was able to physically drown a fit and healthy woman in that time without getting soaked in water?
46:39Yeah. 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.
46:51We know that your wife uses sleeping pills.
46:55None of us been to bed.
46:56None of us took a sleeping pill.
46:58And we also know that you are the last person to have a one-to-one session with Miss Mayhew that day at 5pm.
47:04One-to-one sessions in the afternoon with Stacey Warbur, then Alistair Hartnell.
47:11And while there, we believe you spiked her drink when she wasn't looking.
47:21We didn't believe Kira was drugged because the finger marks on her neck suggested she was held down by force and drowned.
47:26We're awaiting the toxicology report and results from the glass Kira drank from.
47:31And I've no doubt we'll get confirmation that there were significant traces of sleeping pills in her system.
47:38And so, while Miss Mayhew was swimming, she suddenly felt drowsy and swam ashore.
47:45When you returned to your bungalow under the pretense of getting your glasses, you ran down to the beach where Miss Mayhew was lying unconscious on the sand.
47:57And then you did two things.
47:59First, you grabbed her neck and shoulders, making sure to leave bruises so it would look like someone had strangled her and forced her under the water.
48:09Before moving her into the sea for her to be carried away, making sure that she was face down so that, still unconscious, her lungs would fill with water.
48:22It took less than a minute.
48:25All you had to do now was hurry back to the dinner table and leave Kira to drown and let the sea do the rest of the work for you.
48:33We checked with a local oceanologist at the university.
48:38And the current in this bay moves in a northwesterly direction, which means it would have carried Miss Mayhew's body diagonally, taking her from your bungalow here to where her body was discovered here.
48:54And with her clothes being left on the beach here, we'd all assume she swam in a straight line.
49:00Now, you had no idea where 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 to observe which route it took, which was conveniently in a northwesterly direction, from your bungalow directly to where Kira began her nightly swim.
49:22And that's when your plan finally came together.
49:26Kira's body was found still at sea, not long after she drowned.
49:31But this ball, left overnight, ended up washing up ashore.
49:35And that was your undoing.
49:37But why would he do this to her?
49:40Because he didn't want Kira to help his wife remember.
49:44Well, remember what?
49:45What he did.
49:54I remember, Alistair.
49:58I remember all of it.
50:01All the horror of it.
50:05You rushing in and telling me someone had hurt our little girl.
50:08And I remember the ambulance and the police and the shock and the pain.
50:20And I remember you coming in and holding me in tears shaking.
50:29Both of us heartbroken.
50:30And I remember, in that moment, the smell of alcohol on your breath.
50:42And I remember coming back inside.
50:50And seeing you.
50:51I checked the original case file, Mr Hartnell.
51:01And the phone call to the police, in which the hit and run driver was described as female,
51:07came from an anonymous caller.
51:10That was you, wasn't it?
51:12Trying to direct suspicion away from yourself.
51:14I would have lost everything.
51:32Alistair Hartnell.
51:34I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Kira Mayhew.
51:37You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned,
51:41something you later rely on in court.
51:57I never want to see you ever again.
52:11Well, well, well. Good evening to you both.
52:19Good evening.
52:21Catherine, we spoke at Marian Edwards' charity barbecue, I think.
52:25I don't remember.
52:27I certainly enjoyed our little chat.
52:30Commissioner, can I get you a rum?
52:33That won't be necessary. This won't take that long.
52:36Think I'll have one, Catherine, if you wouldn't mind?
52:38I appreciate you giving me an advance copy of the article.
52:45Here is my written statement in response.
52:50Saying...
52:52I agree with every single word you've written.
52:59Sorry?
53:00After receiving some sage advice from my good friend here.
53:04As I say in my statement, it hurt to think that the bond I had forged with this island had been broken.
53:13But the circumstances were of my own making.
53:17So, I will be the one to fix it.
53:20And how will you do that?
53:21As of tomorrow, I will be commencing an initiative with my team.
53:26And with a little help from the island's mayor.
53:29An initiative to strengthen our relationship with the community.
53:35So, if you'll excuse me, I have work to do.
53:39Good evening.
53:40Well, he just killed my article, didn't he?
53:48With one single shot.
53:51I think he maybe just has.
53:56Enjoy your evening.
53:58I have to stay up.
53:59Sorry.
54:00It does.
54:01I have to stay up.
54:02I will be a little buddy.
54:03I don't know if he does not.
54:04We are all useful.
54:06You should invest in the tower.
54:07But the tower is back up, right?
54:09I am.
54:10You should my constitution is back up, right?
54:11I am.
54:13You should stay up, right?
54:14Yes, sir.
54:15I'm Dione.
54:17You should have to keep you up, right?
54:18I think it depends on the building.
54:20You should stay up.
54:22You should stay up.
54:24What are you doing?
54:25Sorry, mate. That's my hat.
54:33Hey, so. Look, I just got home and I saw you brought all my stuff back.
55:00Well, you know, work the old Salomon Clark magic.
55:04Yeah, well, I just wanted to say thank you.
55:07Did you have to give Myrtle their money back?
55:09I mean, you're not in debt still, 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, huh?
55:19Of course you have.
55:20I mean, there's always something going on in Salomon land, right?
55:23You said it.
55:25Um, look, what about us now?
55:33I mean, what do we do next?
55:37I don't know, man.
55:39Like you said, I am troubled.
55:41A detective doesn't need that in his life.
55:43Look, so, I didn't mean...
55:45Maybe I shouldn't have said that.
55:48I understand.
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...
55:58I totally understand.
56:02Look, man.
56:03We tried this and...
56:06Maybe just wasn't meant to be here, no?
56:09Look after yourself, brother.
56:11Yeah, you do.
56:12Look, Solomon, I...
56:14I...
56:15Let's go.
56:45Let's go.
57:15Why was your moped seen outside the victim's villa up in the hills?
57:21Did you ever catch them, Inspector? I'd sleep much better knowing you did.
57:24It wasn't me!
