01:30Fleur wants this all clear.
01:32You know those parakeet flowers of yours?
01:34Mm-hmm.
01:35Not loving that spot.
01:36They'll stay where they are.
01:38Poor things, wilting away.
01:41I always say gardening is all about balance.
01:45Here I was thinking it was about enjoying peace and quiet.
01:48Or connecting with something bigger than yourself.
01:50Go on, where do you plant them?
01:54Well, they do best in partial shade.
01:57Plenty of morning light, but avoid the afternoon sun.
02:01Don't want them burning out.
02:02I shall bear that in mind.
02:03Baxter, drop everything.
02:06I've had 30 kilos of grog clay delivered, and it's baking in the sun.
02:11Be a darling and shift it for me, would you, before it turns to concrete?
02:15Hello, neighbor.
02:16Quiet morning.
02:18What?
02:19Friday, 9.30 as usual.
02:20If you're late again, I'm leaving without you.
02:22Oh, you are cruel.
02:24Can you remind me to pick up starfruit?
02:26I've been experimenting with my smoothies.
02:29Right, Baxter, let's go.
02:31When the muse is upon me, I must strike while the clay is still soft.
02:35When the muse is upon me, I must strike while the clay is still soft.
03:05Fancy a cold glass of homemade lemonade?
03:12I'd kill it for one.
03:30I think it came from down there.
03:33Did it come for an Henry's?
03:35Henry!
03:38Henry!
03:40I hope he's all right.
03:42Henry!
03:44Henry!
03:46Henry?
03:46Henry?
03:47No.
03:53Who did this?
03:54I think it came from?
04:06What?
04:07How you doing?
04:07What?
04:07What?
04:08What?
04:08He said,
04:09I'm...
04:09I'm...
04:09Who?
04:10I know.
04:11I know.
04:11You know.
04:13It's too late.
04:13I know.
04:13You know.
04:13I know.
04:13I'm...
04:13I know.
04:14Jeans down, relax your faces.
04:41In Paris we say, you don't take a photograph, you create it, okay?
04:48You're really into this.
04:51Just makes a change to be in a photo where my head won't get cut off.
04:55Every family photo ever, you see me from the shoulders down.
05:00Shall we try your hand on your hip?
05:05Less like you've stepped on a senior chin, more like you just heard the rums on the house.
05:14Morning, Commissioner.
05:16Where is Inspector Wilson?
05:20We did try, sir. He said he's only here short term so didn't think it was his place.
05:27Also, apparently football is on.
05:30And presumably the prime rate drops every time his team plays?
05:35One can only hope, sir.
05:38The whole point of this initiative is to make the wider community feel that we are all in this for them.
05:49To strengthen their trust in us.
05:53How are we going to begin to do that when our senior detective can't be bothered to turn up for a team photograph?
06:03He better make it to the launch this evening.
06:07Um, I should get that. Excuse me, sir.
06:12Come on. Just give me the second half. It's not even a big game.
06:25What?
06:27The commissioner is seriously not happy you missed your close-up.
06:30Can't they just photoshop me in?
06:32Something tells me he's not going to go for that.
06:35Is that what you came here for?
06:36No. There's been a shooting up in the hills.
06:39And the police is getting to the left side.
06:48Stupid island.
06:52Victim's name is Henry Ashby, originally from the UK, moved to St. Marie ten years ago.
06:59What else do we know?
07:00Uh, his neighbour Fleur Edwards and her gardener, Baxter Turton, heard the shot around 10.30.
07:06When they arrived, the doors were wide open and they saw someone on a white moped speeding off through the trees.
07:12Miss Edwards said she saw the same moped outside the house last night.
07:16Even got her registration number.
07:18Sergeant Fletcher is on the case.
07:20Now, there's mud on the floor.
07:23No sign of a forced entry.
07:27So, either the victim let the killer in, or the killer let themself in from the garden, shot Henry and pegged it back the same way.
07:39That's a serious tattoo, boss.
07:41Do I feel like I've seen it somewhere before?
07:44Yeah, it's Pegasus.
07:45Oh!
07:46The flying horse mutant thing.
07:48Something like that.
07:49And the bloke riding him is Bellerophon.
07:52He's part of the parachute regiment in Sigmia.
07:54A mate of mine had one.
07:55He said the army trained him for anything.
07:58Which is why he now runs a soft plane Croydon.
08:01Yeah, he might be a military man, so let's check that out, shall we?
08:08Ten years on this island and not even a vase in the gaff.
08:12A big read as all.
08:14Yeah.
08:15A man had a lot of books.
08:22Interesting.
08:23What is?
08:24This is a meticulously organised library.
08:27And he's filed his books alphabetically by author.
08:31Reading's never really been my thing, you know.
08:33But if I have to read a book, I usually start at the last page first.
08:38Know what I mean?
08:39Swerve the sad endings.
08:41Hang on.
08:42There's one missing.
08:44This section is Charles Dickens' novels.
08:48Pickwick Papers, Our Mutual Friend David Copperfield, etc.
08:53There's one missing.
08:55Which one is it?
08:58I think it's Taylor Two Cities.
09:00Yeah, it's definitely Taylor Two Cities.
09:02Where can that have got to?
09:04Officer Rose, check the bedside table, yeah?
09:07He might have lent it to someone.
09:10Or even lost it.
09:12Maybe.
09:14Nothing in the bedroom, sir.
09:17I was taking up my boots.
09:27Then we both heard it.
09:29It's terrifying.
09:31I could feel it in my bones something awful had happened.
09:34We rushed straight over, but...
09:36We were too late.
09:37Next thing I know, I heard ties kicking up dirt.
09:41Couldn't get a look at the registration plate, but they were wearing a helmet and a black top.
09:48And you said you think you saw the same moped last night?
09:51I'm often up working late.
09:53From my studio I can see Henry's.
09:55Someone was outside, lurking, peering through his windows.
10:00At first I thought maybe it was the delivery driver.
10:04Wrong address.
10:06But something felt...
10:09Off.
10:10So I jotted the number plate down in my sketchbook.
10:12How long have you lived out here?
10:14Three months.
10:15Long enough to adore it.
10:17I needed space for my work, to find inspiration, and...
10:22Look...
10:24Of course, when I arrived, the garden was an absolute jungle.
10:27Hired me on the spot.
10:29Said the weeds were choking her genius.
10:32And Henry?
10:34Was he a good neighbor?
10:35He kept...
10:37Kept to himself.
10:38Didn't seem to want to get close.
10:40Still, he drove you into town on Fridays, right?
10:43Big shop day?
10:45That's the only thing on his calendar.
10:47He offered.
10:48I may have mentioned how tiresome I find driving.
10:51Having done it for years in London.
10:53And there's no Jubilee Line on St. Marie, right?
10:56Not quite.
10:58Anyone else ever stop by?
11:01Not that I know of.
11:03Flo is right.
11:05Mr. Asby wasn't much for company.
11:07For foot books.
11:08Yeah, speaking of which, did he ever lend you any?
11:12Tail of two cities, maybe?
11:15Dickens.
11:17Inspector?
11:18We'll be in touch.
11:21So that moped's from my rental outfit.
11:30Moped and glory.
11:31Just spoke to the owner, Winston.
11:33Bit of a relic.
11:34But he keep our good records, you know?
11:35Bottom line.
11:36Uh, driver's a tourist from the UK.
11:39Arrived a week ago, but he provided an ID and a local address.
11:43Craig Pinnock.
11:45An accountant from Nunhead in London.
11:52Craig Pinnock.
11:54I want to step away from the bike, please.
12:00So, how can I help you, detectives?
12:02There's not a problem, is there?
12:03We need to establish your whereabouts this morning.
12:06Yeah, a fatal shooting just a few miles from here.
12:09A man called Henry Ashby was murdered.
12:12Do you know him?
12:13Well, uh, no.
12:15Never heard of the guy.
12:18That's funny.
12:19A moped, just like the one you were scrubbing clean outside,
12:23was used to flee the scene.
12:25We also have evidence placing that same white moped
12:28and its driver outside the victim's house last night.
12:31What?
12:32Sorry.
12:33No, there must be some mistake.
12:35I, um...
12:36Look, I didn't shoot anyone.
12:40How do we clear this up?
12:42Well, let's start from the beginning, yeah?
12:45Um, last night,
12:47why was your moped seen outside the victim's villa
12:51up in the hills?
12:52Right.
12:53Okay.
12:54Um, so I may have driven past that house last night,
12:57but only because I took a wrong turn.
12:59I was, um...
13:00I was looking for a property,
13:02a villa that I'd seen online,
13:03and, um,
13:04I thought there might be somebody in
13:06to point me in the right direction,
13:07but no answer.
13:09You were looking for a house for sale.
13:11After dark.
13:12Yes.
13:13I mean,
13:14it was supposed to have beautiful sunset views,
13:17and, um,
13:18well, I'm looking to buy out here.
13:20Eh?
13:21Remote accounting, best dress.
13:22So you were at the victim's villa,
13:24but you never interacted with him?
13:26No.
13:27No, absolutely not.
13:28What about in the morning?
13:29It was definitely my moped that was seen.
13:34Our witnesses didn't get a registration,
13:36but the description matches.
13:38And the rider was wearing a black top.
13:42Okay, so I can see now why you might think it was me,
13:46but it wasn't.
13:48So it was just coincidence.
13:50Someone else was there this morning,
13:52dressed just like you,
13:53on a similar white moped,
13:55outside the same property you were visiting last night.
13:58Must be.
13:59That's bizarre, isn't it?
14:01But I can assure you, detectives,
14:04that I was nowhere near that house.
14:07Then where were you 10.30 when the shooting happened?
14:11Well, in coconut water.
14:12There's a street bender,
14:14and I'd stopped to make a work call,
14:16felt thirsty,
14:17and this was definitely 10.30.
14:19Where was this?
14:20Crescent Cove.
14:23The opposite side of the island to the crime scene.
14:26Convenient?
14:27Convenient?
14:28No, look, you've got the wrong person.
14:31I didn't shoot anyone.
14:32Check my phone.
14:33We will.
14:34We will.
14:37Thank you for your help.
14:38We'll be in touch if we need anything further.
14:41Well, the vendor confirms he served Craig this morning,
14:44and he was on his phone the whole time,
14:46that's why he remembers him.
14:47Craig's client also confirms they spoke at 15.30 UK time,
14:52which is 10.30 here.
14:54They spoke for five minutes,
14:56and it all tallies with the call of Unprixble.
14:59But it has to be Craig that shot Henry Ashby.
15:01His clothing was identified,
15:03and the bike,
15:04and he was outside Henry's the night before.
15:07And you saw what he was like at the villa.
15:09He was all over the place.
15:10But he has an alibi for the time of the murder, sir.
15:13So if it was him, then how did he do it?
15:17Craig's definitely holding back.
15:32So if we don't yet know how he managed to shoot Henry Ashby,
15:36let's focus on his motive.
15:38Why did he do it?
15:40Sergeant Fletcher, what have you got for us?
15:46Inspector,
15:47bit of a development at Henry's.
15:50Seems there's a little more to him than we first thought.
15:53A spy.
15:58I'm telling you,
15:59he has to be a spy.
16:00Henry was definitely mixed up in something murky.
16:03Surveillance perhaps?
16:05A spy.
16:06A hundred percent.
16:07I'm talking code names.
16:09You know?
16:10Drop off locations.
16:11Secret hand shares.
16:12Exploding pens.
16:13His military records came in.
16:16Henry rose through the ranks quickly before a voluntary discharge 15 years ago.
16:21Then, nothing.
16:23No paper trail.
16:24No fixed address.
16:26Vanished.
16:27Until...
16:28Saint Marie.
16:29What about his phone?
16:30Zero phone calls.
16:32The man had nobody checking in.
16:34I mean, it's like you just totally ghosted life.
16:37And his laptop?
16:38Locked down tight.
16:40But I've asked the lab and they're checking in.
16:42But his bank account?
16:44Stucked.
16:45Living off grid with serious money behind him.
16:48Makes you wonder who or what was he running from?
16:53I've got a mate in Organized Crime Command.
16:55I'll give her a call, see if what we've found triggers anything her end.
16:59But let's keep looking into Craig Pinnock.
17:02Now we know that the victim isn't what he seems.
17:05There must be a reason Craig wanted him dead.
17:08It's time we headed over to the commissioner's launch.
17:11Ready, sir?
17:12Uh, I'll catch you up.
17:13I've got this phone call to make first.
17:14Okay.
17:15See you there.
17:16Don't be late.
17:17You know, Commissioner asked us to say a few words about what St. Marie means to us.
17:34And I was like, man, I mean, where do I start, you know?
17:38So what did you go for?
17:39Officer Rose's top ten favorite places to fill your belly.
17:44Okay.
17:45Do you think that's quite what the commissioner...
17:48Hmm?
17:49You know what?
17:50That is perfect.
17:51You all right?
17:52Big crowds.
17:53It tends to happen when you offer free snacks.
17:54Inspector's cutting it fine.
17:55We want to be in his booth when he arrives.
17:56It's a wonderful turnout, don't you think?
17:58What are the phone calls?
17:59If only every idea came together so smoothly.
18:00I should have escorted him here myself.
18:01Mervyn made a commitment, no?
18:02No.
18:03No.
18:04No.
18:05No.
18:06No.
18:07No.
18:08No.
18:09No.
18:10No.
18:11No.
18:12No.
18:13No.
18:14No.
18:15No.
18:16No.
18:17No.
18:18No.
18:19No.
18:20No.
18:21No.
18:22No.
18:23No.
18:24No.
18:25No.
18:26No.
18:27No.
18:28No.
18:29No.
18:30No.
18:31No.
18:32No.
18:33No.
18:34No.
18:35No.
18:36No.
18:37No.
18:38No.
18:39No.
18:40No.
18:41No.
18:42No.
18:43No.
18:44No.
18:45No.
18:46No.
18:47No.
18:48No.
18:49No.
18:50No.
18:51No.
18:52No.
18:53No.
18:54No.
18:55No.
18:56No.
18:57And thank you for coming, everyone.
19:02Tonight is a new beginning.
19:06Since returning to St. Marie,
19:09I have been made aware that I need to recommit,
19:15to reassure you that this island still matters to me, to us.
19:24And you, its people, matter even more.
19:30This is the first step, rebuilding trust,
19:35strengthening the relationship between myself and my team and you,
19:42the people we serve.
19:47No answer.
19:48Um, we will proceed with a Q and A as planned.
19:55First questions, please.
19:57Yes, I've got a question.
19:59Why did the detective not bother showing up?
20:03Um, well, um...
20:08Um, actually, Commissioner, um, can I take this one?
20:15Of course.
20:17D.I. Wilson's not here because he's working on a murder case.
20:32And knowing him, he's probably so deep into it,
20:37he hasn't realized the time.
20:39But that's because he cares about his work.
20:44All of us, standing here, care so much about what we do.
20:50It's not just about solving crimes.
20:52It's about doing it right.
20:55And that's why we show up.
20:57Because it's not just what we do,
21:00it's who we are.
21:03Thank you, now.
21:15Well done.
21:16Next question.
21:19So, to Sergeant Thomas, they're busting it.
21:24Look.
21:25Look who arrives just in time for the clean-up.
21:28Look, I'm late.
21:29I know.
21:30But I've got...
21:30The good news is there's no more speeches.
21:31But the bad news, no more snacks.
21:33The commissioner left ten minutes ago,
21:35and he said he's very disappointed but not surprised.
21:38Direct quotes.
21:39Stop talking!
21:41Look, I've got some major intel on our victim, all right?
21:44I mean, it all makes total sense now.
21:46The military background, the fake passports,
21:49living off-grid.
21:50I mean, I should have worked this out before.
21:52Worked out what?
21:53He was a spy.
21:54No officer Rose.
21:56Henry Ashby was a professional hitman.
22:01So, multiple passports were found in the victim's house.
22:07I don't believe it.
22:09Why is it so hard to get a book out of the library?
22:11Inspector, you do still work here?
22:14Yeah.
22:15Commissioner, look, I'm sorry about last night,
22:18but I was doing what I thought was best for the case.
22:21Disappearing in the name of duty is still disappearing.
22:24I made my expectations very clear.
22:29Yes, Commissioner.
22:30I'm sorry.
22:31It won't happen again.
22:32You might also offer thanks to DS Thomas,
22:36who covered for your absence with great aplomb.
22:40Thank you, DS Thomas.
22:42Right, are we done?
22:44No.
22:45You will make amends with some community outreach work.
22:50Mrs. Desiree, one of our most senior residents,
22:55was in attendance last night.
22:56She told me she was in need of a little police assistance.
23:00I said we'd pay her a visit.
23:05That is her address.
23:07A tale of two cities.
23:14Have you read it before?
23:17I know, but I used to work weekends with a guy who ran Dickens tours.
23:21Like all his best, redemption, hope,
23:25the destructive nature of revenge.
23:27Not a million miles from this case.
23:30DS Thomas was updating me.
23:32Your victim is a hitman.
23:34Yeah, organised crime linked Henry Ashby to a shelved case.
23:39He's the prime suspect in a historic hit job in Putney,
23:42made to look like a break-in.
23:44The victim was a shop owner with ties to loan sharks.
23:46Henry made it look like a break-in?
23:49The theory goes,
23:50Henry's the guy you call in when things get heavy.
23:52There's other suspected hits,
23:53but the evidence is non-existent.
23:55I went through the victim's bank statements, Commissioner.
23:58There were years of large cash deposits.
24:01No employer, just drops.
24:02Drops.
24:03Why did they never catch him?
24:05I expect because he was good at his job.
24:07All they had on the guy was some grainy CCTV footage
24:09and the description of a very distinctive tattoo.
24:12Pegasus.
24:13Look, I still feel like I've seen that tattoo somewhere before, you know.
24:18I'm just not sure where.
24:19So, I did some digging into our suspect, Craig Pinnock.
24:27Turns out, Craig's a widower.
24:30This was his wife, Lucy Pinnock, died ten years ago on the 2nd of July.
24:35So?
24:36She was shot.
24:38A home-breaking gone wrong.
24:40No suspect, no motive, just a robbery-turned-fatal.
24:44Two robberies, two deaths, same M.O.
24:48Well, that's no coincidence.
24:49And here, three days before Lucy's death, the last cash drop.
24:54So, if Henry was a contract killer and Lucy Pinnock was one of his last jobs, then...
25:01Craig Pinnock suddenly has really good motive to want Henry Ashby dead.
25:07They were trying to scare me.
25:11Who was?
25:13Loan sharks.
25:15I'd started gambling and, um...
25:17told myself I could get her out of control, but I owed so much money.
25:21And they were starting to hound me.
25:22When they came to collect what you owed them, you didn't have it.
25:26And your wife was collateral.
25:29I hate myself every day for what they did to her.
25:35For what I caused.
25:36But you didn't tell the police.
25:39Must have been eating you up alive inside.
25:41The shame.
25:43The guilt.
25:43The rage.
25:44And so you decided you'd hunt down Henry Ashby yourself.
25:47I knew that the police would never find him.
25:50Because they didn't know the full truth.
25:52That it was a professional hit.
25:54Not an easy job.
25:56I mean, the trail was cold, wasn't it?
25:58For years.
25:59The killer was hiding out here, on St. Marie.
26:03How did you find Henry?
26:06Well, to people I owed money to, I did some digging.
26:09Eventually, I found out who they paid to do their dirty work.
26:12So, you knew exactly who Henry was.
26:17And you came anyway.
26:20If there was a chance, I could look him in the eye.
26:23Get him to answer for what he did.
26:24So, revenge.
26:25That was your plan.
26:27You knew exactly whose house you were at that night.
26:30Okay, look.
26:30I admit.
26:31I went there to confront him.
26:33But I never laid eyes on him.
26:34He wasn't there.
26:35You went back the next morning to finish the job.
26:37No.
26:38I've already told you this.
26:39I was on the other side of the island.
26:42Look.
26:42Whoever went there that morning to shoot him, it was someone else.
26:45It wasn't me.
26:46Something wrong, Officer Rose?
26:56Or are you just exercising your thumb muscles?
26:58Hey, I'm working, actually.
27:00Had to scroll through this group chat to find this video.
27:03Although I did briefly get sidetracked by this chicken we're in carnival.
27:06Please, bring it around the bush some more, Officer Rose.
27:08Sir, that tattoo.
27:10You know how I thought I recognized it from somewhere?
27:13Boom.
27:13Three months ago.
27:15Henry saved a woman who was caught up in a riptide out at Turtle Bay.
27:20He did no photos, no press.
27:22But somebody filmed it and the video went viral.
27:25The man went in twice.
27:29Once for the old lady.
27:31Once for the little dog.
27:32I printed these off.
27:34You can see the Pegasus tattoo in both.
27:35So we have a trained assassin who saves poodles in his spare time.
27:40But it means literally anybody looking for Henry Ashby could have seen that video and come to the island for revenge.
27:48All right, so maybe someone else on a white moped, wearing a black top, did go to Henry Ashby's place that morning and shoot him.
27:59Okay, we're going to have to check all routes to the woods behind Henry's place and any road cameras along the way.
28:04We should also look into who else knew Henry.
28:07Mm-hmm.
28:08Got it.
28:21It's me.
28:22The police are going to want to talk to me.
28:29But I don't want you to worry.
28:30Still no jive with the moped?
28:40No sign of anyone else on a white bike who could have possibly shot Henry.
28:44What about Fisherman's Way?
28:47It's the fastest route to the house.
28:49The only camera along there has been busted for weeks.
28:52So it's the perfect time for lunch.
28:54Hey, hey.
28:54Cold case.
28:56Hot prawns.
28:56Oh.
28:57No, seriously, you have to try one of these.
28:59Captain Crustacean's Fire Cracker Prawns.
29:02But thank you.
29:03But if you want real flavor, ooh, you got to go to Old Man Baptiste behind the cricket ground.
29:10My father used to take us after school.
29:12Baptiste had this secret marinade.
29:15Legendary.
29:16Ooh.
29:16Mm.
29:17All right.
29:17Take your time.
29:18They're spicy.
29:22Mm.
29:23My man's got a little bit of a kick.
29:25Oh, are you okay?
29:30All right.
29:31If we're speedy, we'll make it to Old Man Baptiste before he shots.
29:34We need milk.
29:39Interesting.
29:47Listen.
29:49I didn't get to say this properly before.
29:51Well, but thank you for covering for me last night.
29:56Whatever it was you did or said.
29:59That's okay, sir.
30:01I, uh, I know you're maybe not feeling like yourself at the moment.
30:08Yeah.
30:09Well, um, it's, uh, it's not been the best few weeks.
30:14Finding their brother, then him going away again.
30:18But, you know, mate, I don't let those things get to me, right?
30:21Yeah.
30:23Right.
30:23No.
30:24Sure you don't.
30:27What?
30:27Well, we haven't seen you much in the last week, sir.
30:34All you do is stay in your shack and watch football.
30:38I like football.
30:39I know.
30:40But it's a lot of football.
30:45Yeah, well, there's a lot of games.
30:47Listen, let's just focus on the case.
30:50What have you got?
30:52Actually, those weekly shopping trips Henry used to take,
30:58he was pulling out $500 like clockwork.
31:02That's some major coinage for groceries.
31:05And guess who was depositing the exact same amount
31:08into their account the same day every week?
31:11Fleur.
31:12Backstab.
31:15Henry was bankrolling Fleur's gardener.
31:19Why?
31:20Well, doesn't look like it was for fertilizer.
31:25Hush money.
31:27Maybe.
31:28But the payment stopped.
31:30One was due Friday.
31:32Never came.
31:33When a couple of days later,
31:36Henry's dead.
31:44It's true.
31:48Henry
31:48gave me money.
31:51But you never thought to mention it.
31:56Why was he paying you?
31:59He said it wasn't charity.
32:01He had money sitting there,
32:03doing nothing.
32:04We're not talking about a few bobby,
32:06Mr. Turton.
32:07This is thousands.
32:09It sounds a lot to me like
32:11neverage.
32:12Extortion.
32:13No, no, no.
32:13That's not what it was.
32:14I would never.
32:15He stops paying you.
32:16You get angry.
32:17Decide to punish him.
32:18And that's why you...
32:19It's my son.
32:20Rio.
32:22He was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
32:27He caught it early,
32:27but he still turned everything upside down.
32:30The bills are waiting,
32:32trying to keep things normal for him.
32:34I was barely holding it together.
32:37So then Henry started helping,
32:39paying for treatments.
32:41Wouldn't take no for an answer.
32:42And last week,
32:44Rio got it all clear.
32:46And the final thing Henry said to me
32:49was that he didn't want a penny back.
32:58Do you get the sense Henry was
33:00trying to atone for his actions?
33:03Saving that woman and her dog?
33:05Paying for Baxter's kids' health care?
33:08I mean,
33:09for a man who killed for a living,
33:10he seemed to suddenly find a moral code in life.
33:13Detectives.
33:14Sorry.
33:16There's something I need to tell you.
33:19I wasn't sure whether to say anything.
33:22Fleur's been great to me, really.
33:24But...
33:25It was a few weeks ago.
33:28Fleur was pretty out of it.
33:30I tried to help her out of the sun, and...
33:33Men like him
33:34always think they can get away with it.
33:37She started muttering about Henry.
33:38She wasn't making a lot of sense.
33:42I doubt she meant anything by it.
33:45But it's been playing on my mind.
33:46I told you there was a shot cut along Fisherman's Way.
33:52I'm pretty sure you broke the sun barrier.
33:54No.
33:56No.
33:56Thank you for the memories.
34:01Oh, I'll never know if it lived up to its hype.
34:07Sorry, Sarge.
34:08Makes me realise how long I've been away from St. Marie.
34:12Come back expecting everything to be the same.
34:15But things change, right?
34:16You don't regret coming back, do you, Sarge?
34:19No.
34:20I couldn't stay in Jamaica anymore.
34:22It was right to leave.
34:26Do you miss him?
34:29Your ex?
34:31No.
34:32It just doesn't feel the same here, you know?
34:35That's all.
34:36Just getting used to it.
34:43Right, come on.
34:44Let's go back to the station.
34:46Let's try the boat.
35:14Miss Edwards.
35:16Oh, hello.
35:18Apologies for the mess.
35:23They come as a pair, Inspector.
35:26Not really my taste, to be honest.
35:29What he really means is he's not much of an arts collector.
35:36Please, they're fragile.
35:38Like your relationship with Henry.
35:39Yeah, your gardener told us about your drunken threats.
35:44Who knew I'd hired Chatty Cathy?
35:47What did you mean when you said men like him always get away with it?
35:52He tried it on with me.
35:53He tried it on with me, didn't like being rejected.
35:56It sounded like you wanted to punish him for more than just making a pass at you.
36:00What aren't you telling us, Miss Edwards?
36:06All I'm guilty of, detectives, is bruising Henry's delicate ego.
36:11I don't believe you.
36:13I think you knew exactly who he was.
36:16Didn't you?
36:17I haven't the foggiest idea what you're talking about.
36:19I saw someone on a moped outside Henry's place.
36:23That's who killed him.
36:25Did you ever catch them, Inspector?
36:27I'd sleep much better knowing you did.
36:29Us too.
36:31We'll be in touch.
36:41Fleur's story isn't sitting right with me.
36:44But she had an alibi.
36:45Baxter was with her in her house when Henry Ashby was shot.
36:49And Baxter's a car check salt.
36:51I spoke to the hospital.
36:53Everything he said about his son, Rio, is true.
36:56Which brings us back to Craig Pinnock,
36:58who has motive coming out of his ears,
37:00but he also has an alibi for the murder.
37:02So, what you're saying is,
37:04the three people who could have shot Henry Ashby
37:06couldn't have shot Henry Ashby?
37:09Exactly that.
37:10Inspector, one laptop, lab fresh, fully decrypted.
37:15Now, that's more like it.
37:16I don't think so, Inspector.
37:18Inspector, you have somewhere to be if you haven't forgotten,
37:21which I sense you have.
37:24Mrs. Desiree, how about I give you a lift there?
37:27Make sure you don't get lost.
37:29Hmm?
37:30Maybe I should take this.
37:38Good luck, Inspector.
37:41Inspector!
37:41I bump into Mrs. Desiree in church every now and then.
37:51She makes the most superb ginger cake.
37:56Good for her.
37:57You seem confused, Inspector.
38:00Well, it's just that I thought you said she needed police assistance.
38:05Fixing her gate, that's a handyman's job.
38:08Perhaps.
38:10But if you hadn't realised the reason I asked you to do this
38:15was in the hope that you might learn something from it.
38:20Yeah.
38:21Yeah, I figured as much.
38:23Going that extra mile for the community,
38:25improving police relationships, etc, etc.
38:27Actually, this was more about you than my community initiative.
38:35Me?
38:36Inspector, I know the last week or so has been tough on you
38:40and might have had you even thinking about why you stayed on,
38:46on this island.
38:47Maybe.
38:50Look, I'm not going to lie, okay?
38:52Now that Solomon and I have parted ways,
38:55yeah, it has had me wandering.
38:57Which is perfectly understandable.
39:00But, hiding away,
39:04avoiding people,
39:06not being part of this island's life,
39:08you're missing out.
39:12Yeah, yeah, I hear you.
39:14But, you know,
39:15fixing some old lady's gate,
39:17you really think that's the answer?
39:18That's tea, Commissioner?
39:19Oh, yes.
39:21I'll be right with you.
39:26In answer to your question,
39:29I suppose you'll find out, Inspector.
39:38Don't I get any iced tea?
39:47Spinning tickets.
39:49Where'd them catch you?
39:51Fisherman's way.
39:52Must have been when we were going to Old Man Baptiste.
39:55I thought you said that camera was broken.
39:58It's been taped off for months.
40:05If it's working,
40:07then maybe that's the route the killer took.
40:09Let's go.
40:15Inspector.
40:16At Mrs. Desiree's gate, bit back.
40:23Ah.
40:25So,
40:26spent half the night
40:28going through Henry's laptop.
40:30He was researching Fleur,
40:32social media,
40:33old exhibitions,
40:35personal records.
40:36It doesn't sound like a crush.
40:37No.
40:38He was looking for a connection.
40:40And now,
40:41I know to want.
40:44Fleur and Lucy Pinnock
40:46were housemates.
40:48Same university.
40:49Seemed super close.
40:51Lucy was using her maiden name.
40:54So,
40:54three months ago,
40:56Fleur moves in next door
40:57to the man who killed her best friend,
40:59and now he's dead.
41:03She was like a sister.
41:06Must have been a shark
41:07when she died.
41:10It didn't make sense.
41:13A robbery.
41:14Nothing really taken.
41:15And she'd never be caught up
41:17in anything dangerous.
41:19So,
41:19what did you do?
41:20The day before
41:21it happened,
41:24Lucy told me
41:25she thought a man
41:26was following her.
41:27It spooked her.
41:28She,
41:29she described him,
41:31his height,
41:32his build.
41:34Said he had a tattoo,
41:35a winged horse
41:36on his forearm.
41:38I told the police,
41:39they dropped it.
41:40But you never forgot.
41:43And then,
41:43years later,
41:44you saw a news story.
41:47Henry saving a woman
41:48and her dog.
41:50All of a sudden,
41:50there he was.
41:52So you tracked him down
41:54to St. Marie,
41:55casually moved in next door
41:56and then made nice?
41:57I wanted to understand
41:58how someone like that
41:59could
42:00keep on living.
42:02And when you couldn't understand,
42:03you killed him?
42:04In case you'd forgotten,
42:05Inspector,
42:06I was making lemonade.
42:08Something I was about to offer you,
42:09but I'm thinking better of it.
42:11Hang on,
42:11so you're telling me
42:12the man who robbed Lucy
42:13of her life
42:14was on your doorstep
42:15and you did zilch?
42:16Of course I wanted him to pay.
42:19To see the shame
42:20in his eyes
42:21when he realised
42:21I knew who he was,
42:23what he'd done.
42:24But I never got the chance.
42:26I didn't kill him.
42:29Lucy's husband
42:30is out here too.
42:32Craig's on St. Marie.
42:34Bit of a coincidence,
42:34don't you think?
42:36You two turning up
42:37on the same island?
42:39You knew he was here.
42:41OK.
42:43OK.
42:44Um...
42:44The night before Henry died,
42:47I did see someone
42:48on a moped
42:49outside his house.
42:51It looked like Craig.
42:54My heart almost stopped.
42:56I told myself,
42:57if it was him,
42:59whatever he was up to,
43:00I wanted nothing
43:01to do with it.
43:03And then Henry
43:04turned up dead.
43:05I gave you the number plate,
43:09hoping and praying
43:10that I was mistaken
43:11and that Craig
43:13wasn't involved.
43:14He's at the centre
43:19of everything.
43:20Just never where
43:21we need him to be.
43:22Inspector,
43:23you're going to want
43:23to see this.
43:25But we just checked
43:25the speed camera
43:26on Fisherman's Way
43:27and it caught something.
43:30OK.
43:31So this is about
43:32six minutes away
43:32from the victim's house,
43:3310.21 the morning
43:34of the murder.
43:36Just wait for it.
43:38Boom.
43:38Right there, sir.
43:39Guy in a blacktop
43:40on a white moped
43:41with the same registration plate
43:43as the one
43:43Craig Pinnock hired.
43:44So Craig Pinnock did it.
43:46We now know
43:46he drove to the victim's house
43:48at the time of the murder.
43:50Wait.
43:52Why did the street vendor
43:53say he was buying
43:55coconut water
43:56when it happened?
43:58OK.
43:59Let's play this out.
44:01DS Thomas,
44:01you be the victim.
44:02Over there, please.
44:04Officer Rose,
44:05you be Craig,
44:06just there.
44:07And Sergeant Fletcher,
44:08you be the vendor.
44:10Right.
44:10Phone?
44:13OK.
44:14Go.
44:14Yes, bro.
44:16You're scrubbing
44:16a coconut water now,
44:17ain't it?
44:18Yeah.
44:18I'll send over
44:19them figures soon.
44:20Definitely not gonna
44:21shoot nobody today.
44:23Remind me never
44:24to take your undercover.
44:27That's it.
44:29It's simple.
44:30Craig wasn't actually
44:31on a call.
44:32He was pretending
44:33like Officer Rose
44:34was just now.
44:35He made sure
44:35he was seen
44:36and heard
44:37so that when we
44:38asked the vendor...
44:39we were told
44:40the story
44:41Craig wanted
44:42us to hear.
44:43Not the truth.
44:44The vendor
44:45never knew
44:45the time,
44:46only that
44:46Craig was
44:47on the phone.
44:49Confirmation by us.
44:50Exactly.
44:51The real call
44:51was made
44:52at 10.30,
44:53but from
44:53somewhere else.
44:55Craig
44:55shot Henry,
44:56rode a short distance,
44:58made the call
44:58as planned
44:59at 10.30.
45:00Finally,
45:01his alibi
45:02has crumbled.
45:03I'm telling you,
45:06I'm innocent.
45:08You lied
45:08about your alibi
45:09and they want
45:10us to believe you.
45:11Okay,
45:12yes,
45:13I haven't been
45:13telling the truth,
45:14but come on,
45:15please,
45:16you have to give
45:16me one more chance.
45:1830 seconds.
45:20Okay,
45:21um,
45:21so,
45:22yes,
45:22I went to Henry's
45:23house and
45:24I took a gun.
45:25I was working
45:26myself up to
45:27killing him,
45:28okay,
45:28I admit it,
45:29but then I heard
45:30a gunshot,
45:31okay,
45:31and I thought
45:32he'd see me,
45:32I thought maybe
45:33he was shooting
45:33at me,
45:34but I didn't
45:35stick around
45:35to find out,
45:36I just,
45:36I got on the
45:37moped and I
45:38went away
45:38and I didn't
45:39look back.
45:40And this gun,
45:41you're a gun,
45:42where is it now?
45:43Well,
45:44I chucked it
45:44in the sea.
45:46Look,
45:46I can show you
45:46exactly where.
45:48Please,
45:49you have to
45:49believe me.
45:50It wasn't
45:51me.
45:58I'll believe it.
46:00Even though
46:00he's repeatedly
46:01lied to us
46:02throughout this
46:03investigation.
46:04Yep.
46:05Even though
46:05he admits to
46:06being at the
46:06victim's house
46:07at the time
46:08of the murder
46:08with a gun
46:09and a motive.
46:10Yep.
46:11So,
46:12if you think
46:12he didn't
46:13know it,
46:13sir,
46:14then...
46:15Who did?
46:15I haven't a
46:16scooby.
46:17Because it also
46:17can't be either
46:18of these.
46:18And I'll tell you
46:19what's really
46:19bugging me
46:20about all this.
46:22The victim's
46:23copy of this
46:24book was missing
46:24from his bookshelf
46:25and it hasn't
46:26turned up anywhere
46:27during the investigation.
46:28So,
46:29where is it?
46:29Wait,
46:30you read the
46:31whole book
46:31in the last few
46:32days?
46:32Well,
46:32I just
46:33speed read it.
46:34So,
46:35what was the
46:35story about?
46:37Well,
46:38basically,
46:38it's about a
46:39guy who
46:40tries to
46:40make things
46:41right.
46:41And the
46:41only way
46:42he feels
46:42he can
46:42do that
46:43is if
46:43big...
46:45Well,
46:47wait a minute.
46:51Because if
46:51you look at
46:51it that
46:52way,
46:53that changes
46:54the whole
46:55perspective
46:55on everything.
46:56A tale of
46:57true cities,
46:58redemption,
46:59hope,
47:00the destructive
47:00nature of
47:01revenge.
47:02Do you get
47:02the sense
47:03Henry was
47:03trying to
47:04atone for
47:04his actions?
47:05They were
47:05trying to
47:05scare me.
47:06Who was?
47:07Loan sharks.
47:07I'd started
47:08gambling and
47:09I owed so
47:09much money
47:10and they
47:10were starting
47:10to hound me.
47:12It's my
47:12son.
47:13real.
47:14He was
47:14diagnosed
47:15with
47:15Hodgkin's
47:16lymphoma.
47:17So then
47:17Henry started
47:18helping,
47:19paying for
47:19treatments,
47:20wouldn't take
47:21no for an
47:21answer.
47:22If I have
47:22to read a
47:23book,
47:23I usually
47:23start at
47:24the last
47:24page first.
47:26So I have
47:26the sad
47:26endings.
47:28Which would
47:28mean...
47:29You worked
47:30it out.
47:31I have.
47:32And if I'm
47:33right about
47:33all this,
47:34in a funny
47:35way,
47:36the answer's
47:37been there
47:37the whole
47:37time.
47:38The book?
47:39Yeah.
47:40I think I
47:40know where
47:41it might be.
47:42And that
47:42explains
47:43everything.
47:47Thanks,
47:47Charlie.
47:48Appreciate it.
47:52Ready,
47:52boss?
47:53Second time
48:09look,
48:09yeah?
48:09A book?
48:33A gun?
48:35and a
48:40bullet.
48:52Let's start
48:53with this,
48:53shall we?
48:55A tale of
48:56two cities.
48:58A story about
48:59redemption
48:59and sacrifice.
49:01And at the
49:03back of this
49:03book,
49:04Henry Ashby
49:05left a story
49:06of his own.
49:08The main
49:08character in
49:09this story,
49:10he dies in
49:10the end.
49:11But he gave
49:13up his life
49:13to atone
49:14for what he'd
49:15done.
49:16For a while,
49:17we were looking
49:17for a killer
49:18that was never
49:19there.
49:20Because Henry
49:21Ashby
49:22wasn't murdered.
49:24He took
49:24his own
49:25life.
49:27Henry's final
49:28words.
49:30A suicide note
49:31addressed to you,
49:32Miss Edwards,
49:33written in the
49:33back of the
49:34book.
49:35But also a
49:36confession to
49:38Lucy Pinnock's
49:38murder.
49:40But why would
49:42Henry take his
49:43own life?
49:45And why now?
49:46The past
49:47caught up
49:47with him.
49:50Fleur,
49:50you found
49:51the viral
49:51video,
49:52recognized Henry,
49:54and you shared
49:54it with Craig,
49:55didn't you?
49:56You finally
49:57found the man
49:58who murdered
49:59Lucy after
49:59all these
50:00years.
50:01But you
50:01didn't wait
50:01for Craig.
50:02You came
50:03out to
50:03St.
50:03Marie alone.
50:04You
50:05conveniently
50:05moved in
50:07next door
50:08to Henry.
50:09All this
50:09to get
50:09closer to
50:10the man
50:10who killed
50:11Lucy.
50:12And those
50:12drunken threats
50:13you aimed at
50:14Henry that
50:15the gardener
50:15witnessed.
50:16Henry hadn't
50:17tried it on
50:17with you
50:18at all,
50:18had he?
50:19What was
50:19eating away
50:20at you
50:20was the
50:21thought that
50:21this man
50:22had got
50:23away with
50:23murdering
50:24your best
50:24friend.
50:25So you
50:25insisted
50:26Craig fly
50:28to St.
50:28Marie.
50:31Henry was
50:31on to you,
50:32wasn't he?
50:33Something felt
50:34different.
50:36He seemed
50:37off with me,
50:39drove in
50:39silence.
50:40So you
50:40had to
50:41strike before
50:42he fled
50:42the island
50:43or did
50:44something even
50:44worse.
50:45And together
50:46you orchestrated
50:48your revenge.
50:49The plan
50:50was simple.
50:51Craig,
50:52you would
50:52arrive at
50:53Henry's place
50:53just before
50:5410.30.
50:55You both
50:56arranged your
50:57alibis.
50:58Fleur,
50:58you knew
50:59Baxter would
50:59be at
51:00yours for
51:00his shift.
51:02And Craig,
51:03you arranged
51:03a work call
51:04that you'd
51:05take at
51:0510.30
51:05after you
51:06shot Henry
51:07then made
51:07out that you
51:08were buying
51:09coconut water
51:10at the same
51:10time.
51:11But then
51:11something unexpected
51:12happened,
51:13didn't it?
51:14Because Henry
51:15worked out
51:16what you had
51:17in store
51:17for him.
51:18Craig,
51:18when you
51:19sculpted out
51:19Henry's
51:20the night
51:20before his
51:20death,
51:21we believe
51:22Henry,
51:23as a trained
51:23killer,
51:24was watching
51:25you.
51:26Your actions,
51:26Craig,
51:27tipped Henry
51:28off that
51:29his time
51:29was up.
51:29the past,
51:32the guilt,
51:33it was all
51:34coming back
51:35to haunt
51:35him.
51:37And as a
51:38man who
51:38lived in
51:39control,
51:40he chose
51:40the only
51:40thing he
51:41felt he
51:41could still
51:41command,
51:43the ending
51:43to his
51:44own story.
51:47It's not
51:48the right
51:48way,
51:49but in his
51:50mind,
51:50it was the
51:51only option.
51:52So sometime
51:52before 10.30
51:54the following
51:54morning,
51:55Henry shot
51:56himself.
51:59Fleur,
52:00you must
52:00have been
52:01confused.
52:02Had Craig
52:03arrived early?
52:04But when
52:05you found
52:05the body,
52:06you also
52:07found the
52:08book.
52:09And inside
52:10it,
52:11something you
52:12weren't expecting.
52:14The truth,
52:16in a note
52:17left for you.
52:18And once
52:18you'd read it,
52:20you knew
52:20there and
52:20then that
52:21you couldn't
52:21let this
52:21die with
52:22him.
52:23So you
52:23proceeded
52:24to stage
52:24a crime
52:25scene to
52:26make it
52:26look like
52:26Henry had
52:27been
52:27murdered.
52:28You took
52:28his gun,
52:29the one
52:30thing he
52:30kept for
52:30protection,
52:31given his
52:32past.
52:32And you
52:33left the
52:33doors wide
52:34open.
52:35You even
52:35scattered mud
52:36from the
52:37garden.
52:37Before firing
52:38a second
52:39gunshot at
52:3910.30
52:40from your
52:40kitchen,
52:41breaking a
52:42plant pot
52:42and creating
52:43a false
52:43time of
52:44death.
52:47A second
52:48bullet from
52:49a second
52:49gunshot,
52:50which you
52:51recovered from
52:52your garden
52:52later that
52:53morning.
52:54All that
52:54was left
52:54was to
52:55steer us
52:56toward the
52:57right culprit.
52:58The
52:58moped number
52:59plate was
52:59smooth.
53:00But why
53:01go to all
53:02that trouble?
53:07Her death
53:08haunted me
53:09most.
53:10Usually they
53:11had it coming,
53:12but not her.
53:15You see,
53:16that's what's so
53:17heartbreaking about
53:18it, isn't it,
53:19Craig?
53:20Because Lucy
53:21was a real
53:22victim here.
53:24And it's just
53:24as I suspected.
53:26I spent my
53:27life following
53:28orders, but
53:30this one was
53:30the cruelest.
53:32Your friend
53:33was an
53:33innocent woman,
53:35and you should
53:35know the truth.
53:37The hit was
53:38commissioned by
53:39her own
53:40husband.
53:44You see, the order
53:45didn't come from
53:46faceless loan
53:47sharks, but
53:49from you.
53:50You're the
53:51reason she's
53:52dead.
53:52I'm sorry, you've
53:53got this all
53:54wrong.
53:54When will you
53:55finally stop
53:56lying?
53:57You played the
53:58grieving husband
53:59seeking revenge,
54:00when all you
54:01really wanted was
54:01silence.
54:03You hired Henry
54:04Ashby, a
54:05professional hitman,
54:06to stage a botched
54:07armed robbery so
54:08you could cash in
54:09your wife's life
54:10insurance and pay
54:11off your gambling
54:12debts.
54:13police.
54:15Fleur, I assume
54:17you held on to
54:18these, the book, the
54:22gun, as your plan
54:24B, in case your
54:25plot to stitch up
54:26Craig was exposed?
54:29You framed him for
54:30Henry's murder
54:31because you couldn't
54:32go to the police
54:33without having to
54:33admit you and
54:34Craig planned to
54:35kill Henry.
54:36So, yeah.
54:38this confession
54:40will ensure
54:42Craig finally
54:43faces the murder
54:44charges for your
54:44best friend.
54:46However, I'm
54:47afraid your
54:48attempt to
54:48pervert the
54:49course of
54:50justice can't
54:50be overlooked.
54:53Craig Pinnock,
54:55I'm arresting
54:56you for
54:56conspiracies of
54:57murder.
55:01She loved
55:02you, and
55:04you sentenced
55:04her to death.
55:06I hope it
55:07haunts you for
55:08the rest of
55:08your life.
55:28So, as
55:29soon as
55:30Mervyn arrives,
55:31we'll be ready
55:31to go.
55:32May I ask?
55:35I'm sure
55:35he'll be here,
55:36sir.
55:36So, Sarge,
55:39I, um,
55:40did some
55:40digging and
55:42asking around.
55:44I got you
55:44this.
55:48Old Man
55:48Baptiste's
55:49secret recipe,
55:51as much as
55:52anyone could
55:53remember.
55:57Thought you
55:58might want to
55:58taste at home,
55:59you know?
55:59Hmm.
56:00I just need to
56:00learn how to
56:01cook now.
56:01Now, this
56:03will really
56:03burn your
56:04eyebrows off
56:04your face.
56:08Sorry.
56:09Sorry.
56:10Better late
56:11than never,
56:11Mervyn.
56:13Go and
56:13stand beside
56:14the commissioner.
56:18Sorry I'm
56:19late, commissioner.
56:20I had a
56:20visitor.
56:22Mrs.
56:22Desiree
56:23dropped by.
56:24She made me a
56:25cake.
56:26Lock and
56:26you.
56:26It's a nice
56:28cake as
56:28well.
56:30And yeah,
56:31I get it.
56:33Look out,
56:34not in,
56:35right?
56:37Everyone's
56:38ready?
56:41Three,
56:42two,
56:43one,
56:45smile.
