00:36We never find

00:57We want
01:27Once it's all clear
01:28You know those parakeet flowers of yours?
01:31Mm-hmm
01:31Not loving that spot
01:32They'll stay where they are
01:34Poor things
01:35Wilting away
01:36I always say gardening is all about balance
01:40Here I was thinking it was about enjoying peace and quiet
01:44Or connecting with something bigger than yourself
01:46Go on, where do you plant them?
01:50Well, they do best in partial shade
01:52Plenty of morning light
01:53But avoid the afternoon sun
01:55Don't want them burning out
01:57I shall bear that in mind
01:58Back, sir
01:59Drop everything
02:01I've had 30 kilos of grog clay delivered
02:04And it's baking in the sun
02:05Be a darling and shift it for me, would you
02:07Before it turns to concrete?
02:10Hello, neighbor
02:11Quiet morning
02:12Was?
02:13Friday 9.30 as usual
02:15If you're late again, I'm leaving without you
02:16Oh, you are cruel
02:18Can you remind me to pick up starfruit?
02:20I've been experimenting with my smoothies
02:22Right, Baxter, let's go
02:24When the muse is upon me
02:26I must strike while the clay is still soft
02:29The end of the day
02:32Home
02:34My, my
02:35Her
02:36A
02:36My
02:38Good
02:38Bud
02:39My
02:39My
02:40Good

02:43Game
02:44Best
02:46Today
02:47Po�� entre
02:47Blue
02:48Talking
02:48Fancy a cold glass of homemade lemonade?
03:04I killed it for one.
03:18I think it came from down there.
03:24Did it come from Henry's?
03:27Henry!
03:28Henry!
03:29I hope he's all...
03:32Henry!
03:35Henry!
03:36Henry?
03:37No!
03:39Who did this?
03:48Henry!
03:53Jeans down.
03:56Relax your faces.
03:59In Paris, we say, you don't take a photograph.
04:02You create it.
04:05Okay?
04:06You're really into this.
04:08It just makes a change to be in a photo where my head won't get cut off.
04:12Every family photo ever.
04:14You see me from the shoulders down.
04:17Shall we try your hand on your hip?
04:22Less like you've stepped on the sea urchin.
04:25More like you just heard the rums on the house.
04:30Morning, Commissioner.
04:32Where is Inspector Wilson?
04:36We did try, sir.
04:38He said he's only here short term, so didn't think it was his place.
04:42Also, apparently football is on.
04:45And presumably, the crime rate drops every time his team plays.
04:50One can only hope, sir.
04:53The whole point of this initiative is to make the wider community feel that we are all in this for them.
05:04To strengthen their trust in us.
05:08How are we going to begin to do that when our senior detective can't be bothered to turn up for a team photograph?
05:17He better make it to the launch this evening.
05:20Um, I should get that. Excuse me, sir.
05:30Come on! Just give me the second half!
05:33It's not even a big game!
05:35What?
05:40The commissioner is seriously not happy you missed your close-up.
05:43Can't they just photoshop me in?
05:45Something tells me he's not going to go for that.
05:48Is that what you came here for?
05:49No. There's been a shooting up in the hills.
05:51Stupid island!
06:04The victim's name is Henry Ashby, originally from the UK, moved to St. Marie ten years ago.
06:10What else do we know?
06:11His neighbour, Fleur Edwards, and her gardener, Baxter Turton, heard the shot around 10.30.
06:17When they arrived, the doors were wide open, and they saw someone on a white moped speeding off through the trees.
06:23Miss Edwards said she saw the same moped outside the house last night.
06:27Even got a registration number.
06:29Sergeant Fletcher is on the case.
06:31Oh.
06:32There's mud on the floor.
06:36No sign of a forced entry.
06:38So, 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.
06:49That's a serious tattoo, boss.
06:51I feel like I've seen it somewhere before.
06:54Yeah, it's Pegasus.
06:55Oh!
06:56The flying horse mutant thing.
06:58Something like that.
06:59And the bloke riding in his Bellerophon.
07:01He's part of the parachute regiment insignia.
07:03Mate of mine had one.
07:04He said the army trained him for anything.
07:07Which is why he now runs a soft plane Croydon.
07:10Yeah, he might be a military man, so let's check that out, shall we?
07:15Ten years on this island, and not even a vase in the gaff.
07:20A big read as all.
07:22Yeah.
07:23Man had a lot of books.
07:29Interesting.
07:30What is?
07:31This is a meticulously organized library.
07:34And he's filed his books alphabetically by author.
07:37Reading's never really been my thing, you know.
07:40But if I have to read a book, I usually start at the last page first.
07:44You know what I mean?
07:45Sort of the sad endings.
07:47Hang on.
07:48There's one missing.
07:49This section is Charles Dickens novels.
07:53Pickwick papers, our mutual friend David Copperfield, etc.
07:58There's one missing.
08:00Which one is it?
08:02I think it's tied to two cities.
08:03Yeah, it's definitely tied to two cities.
08:04Well, where can that have got to?
08:05Officer Rose, check the bedside table, yeah?
08:06He might have lent it to someone, or even lost it.
08:07Maybe.
08:08Nothing in the bedroom, sir.
08:12I was taking off my boots.
08:14Then we both heard it.
08:16That's terrifying.
08:17I could feel it in my bones.
08:18Something
08:35I could feel it in my bones.
08:36I could feel it in my bones something awful had happened.
08:39We rushed straight over but...
08:41We were too late.
08:42Next thing I know I heard ties kicking up dirt.
08:46Couldn't get a look at the registration plate
08:48but they were wearing a helmet and a black top.
08:52And you said you think you saw the same moped last night?
08:55I'm often not working late.
08:57From my studio I can see Henry's.
08:59Someone was outside, lurking, peering through his windows.
09:03At first I thought maybe it was the delivery driver.
09:07Wrong address.
09:09But something felt... off.
09:12So I jotted the number plate down in my sketchbook.
09:14How long have you lived out here?
09:16Three months. Long enough to adore it.
09:19I needed space for my work to find inspiration and...
09:24Look...
09:26Of course when I arrived the garden was an absolute jungle.
09:29Hide me on this spot.
09:30Said the weeds were choking her genius.
09:34And Henry?
09:36Was he a good neighbour?
09:38He kept...
09:39Kept to himself.
09:40Didn't seem to want to get close.
09:42Still, he drove you into turn on Fridays, right?
09:45Big shop day?
09:46That's the only thing on his calendar.
09:48He offered.
09:49I may have mentioned how tiresome I find driving.
09:52Having done it for years in London.
09:54And there's no Jubilee Line on St. Marie, right?
09:56Not quite.
09:59Anyone else?
10:00Ever stop by?
10:01Not that I know of.
10:03Flo is right.
10:04Mr. Usby wasn't much for company.
10:07For folks?
10:08Yeah, speaking of which...
10:09Did he ever lend you any?
10:11A tale of two cities, maybe?
10:14Dickens.
10:15Inspector?
10:16We'll be in touch.
10:18So that mopeds for my rental outfit.
10:20Mopan glory.
10:21Just spoke to the owner, Winston.
10:22Bit of a relic.
10:23But he keep our good records, you know.
10:24Bottom line.
10:25Uh, driver's a tourist from the UK.
10:26Arrived a week ago.
10:27But he provided an ID and a local address.
10:28Craig Pinnock.
10:29An accountant from Nunhead in London.
10:31Craig Pinnock.
10:32And you can't help you, detectives.
10:33There's not a problem, is there?
10:34We need to establish your whereabouts.
10:35And, uh, what is the real place?
10:36Is that a place?
10:37Is that a place?
10:38No.
10:39No.
10:40No.
10:41No.
10:42No.
10:43No.
10:44No.
10:45No.
10:46No.
10:47No.
10:48No.
10:49No.
10:50No.
10:51No.
10:52No.
10:53No.
10:54No.
10:55No.
10:56No.
10:57No.
10:58No.
10:59No.
11:01We need to establish your whereabouts this morning.
11:04Yeah, a fatal shooting just a few miles from here.
11:06A man called Henry Ashby was murdered.
11:10Do you know him?
11:11Well, no. Never heard of the guy.
11:15That's funny.
11:16A moped, just like the one you were scrubbing clean outside, was used to flee the scene.
11:21We also have evidence placing that same white moped and its driver outside the victim's house last night.
11:27What? Sorry.
11:29No, there must be some mistake.
11:32I, um, no, I didn't shoot anyone.
11:36How do we clear this up?
11:38Let's start from the beginning, yeah?
11:41Last night, why was your moped seen outside the victim's villa up in the hills?
11:48Right, okay.
11:49So I may have driven past that house last night, but only because I took a wrong turn.
11:54I was, um, I was looking for a property, a villa that I'd seen online,
11:58and, um, I thought there might be somebody in to point me in the right direction, but no answer.
12:04You were looking for a house for sale after dark?
12:07Yes.
12:08I mean, it was supposed to have beautiful sunset views, and, um, well, I'm looking to buy out here.
12:14Remote accounting, best dress.
12:16So you were at the victim's villa, but you never interacted with him?
12:20No.
12:21No, absolutely not.
12:22What about in the morning?
12:23It was definitely my moped that was seen.
12:27Our witnesses didn't get a registration, but the description matches.
12:31And the rider was wearing a black top.
12:36Okay, so I can see now why you might think it was me, but it wasn't.
12:41So it was just coincidence.
12:43Someone else was there this morning, dressed just like you,
12:46on a similar white moped, outside the same property you were visiting last night.
12:52Must be.
12:53That's bizarre, isn't it?
12:55But I can assure you, detectives, that I was nowhere near that house.
12:59Then where were you 10.30 when the shooting happened?
13:02Well, in coconut water.
13:04There's a street bender, and I'd stopped to make a work call.
13:07Felt thirsty, and this was definitely 10.30.
13:10Where was this?
13:11Crescent Cove.
13:12The opposite side of the island to the crime scene.
13:17Convenient.
13:18Convenient?
13:20Now, look, you've got the wrong person.
13:22I didn't shoot anyone.
13:23Check my phone.
13:24We will.
13:27Thank you for your help.
13:28We'll be in touch if we need anything further.
13:31Well, the vendor confirms he served Craig this morning,
13:34and he was on his phone the whole time.
13:36That's why he remembers him.
13:38Craig's client also confirms they spoke at 15.30 UK time, which is 10.30 here.
13:43They spoke for five minutes, and it all tallies with the call log on Craig's phone.
13:48It has to be Craig that shot Henry Ashby.
13:50His clothing was identified, and the bike,
13:53and he was outside Henry's the night before.
13:56And you saw what it was like at the villa.
13:57It was all over the place.
13:58But he has an alibi for the time of the murder, sir.
14:01So if it was him, then how did he do it?
14:04Craig's definitely holding back.
14:20So if we don't yet know how he managed to shoot Henry Ashby,
14:23let's focus on his motive.
14:25Why did he do it?
14:30Sergeant Fletcher, what have you got for us?
14:33Inspector, bit of a development at Henry's.
14:37Seems there's a little more to him than we first thought.
14:44A spy.
14:45I'm telling you, he has to be a spy.
14:47Henry was definitely mixed up in something murky.
14:50Surveillance, perhaps?
14:51A spy.
14:52A hundred percent.
14:53I'm talking code names, you know?
14:56Drop-off location.
14:57Secret hand shares.
14:58Exploding pens.
14:59His military records came in.
15:02Henry rose through the ranks quickly before a voluntary discharge 15 years ago.
15:07Then, nothing.
15:08No paper trail, no fixed address.
15:11Vanished.
15:12Until St. Marie.
15:14What about his phone?
15:16Zero phone calls.
15:17The man had nobody checking in.
15:19I mean, it's like you just totally ghosted life.
15:22And his laptop?
15:23Locked down tight.
15:25But I've asked the lab and they're checking it out.
15:27But his bank account?
15:30Stucked.
15:30Living off-grid with serious money behind him.
15:33Makes you wonder who or what was he running from.
15:38I've got a mate in Organized Crime Command.
15:40I'll give her a call, see if what we've found triggers anything her in.
15:43But let's keep looking into Craig Pinnock.
15:46Now we know that the victim isn't what he seems.
15:49There must be a reason Craig wanted him dead.
15:52It's time we headed over to the Commissioner's launch.
15:54Ready, sir?
15:56I'll catch you up.
15:57I've got this phone call to make first.
15:59Okay.
16:01See you there.
16:04Don't be late.
16:11You know, Commissioner asked us to say a few words about what St. Marie means to us.
16:16And I was like, man, I mean, where do I start, you know?
16:20So what did you go for?
16:22Officer Rose's top ten favorite places to fill your belly.
16:26Okay.
16:28Do you think that's quite what the Commissioner...
16:30Hmm?
16:32You know what?
16:33That is perfect.
16:37You all right?
16:39Big crowd.
16:40It's a big crowd.
16:41It tends to happen when you offer free snacks.
16:44Inspector's cutting it fine.
16:46We want to be in his booth when he arrives.
16:50It's a wonderful turnout, don't you think?
16:53What all the phone calls?
16:57If only every idea came together so smoothly.
17:00I should have escorted him here myself.
17:06But he made a commitment now.
17:09Focus on your speech.
17:11And at number two, we have the grill bar.
17:14You know the one with the sweet, sweet curry goat?
17:17The one where the chef sings love songs that he cooks?
17:21I'm actually thinking about starting my own food tour.
17:24So at the end, open the investor, we can speak and hear, you know?
17:28Thank you for that enthusiasm.
17:33Officer Rose.
17:35And thank you for coming, everyone.
17:40Tonight is a new beginning.
17:42Since returning to St. Marie, I have been made aware that I need to recommit, to reassure you that this island still matters to me, to us.
18:02And you, its people, matter even more.
18:06So, this is the first step, rebuilding trust, strengthening the relationship between myself and my team, and you, the people we serve.
18:23No answer.
18:25We will proceed with the Q and A as planned.
18:30First questions, please.
18:32Yes, I've got a question.
18:34Why did the detective not bother showing up?
18:36Yes, yes.
18:38Um.
18:39Why not?
18:40Well.
18:42Um.
18:44Um, actually, Commissioner, um, can I take this one?
18:49Of course.
19:01D.I. Wilson's not here because he's working on a murder case.
19:06And, knowing him, he's probably so deep into it, he hasn't realized the time.
19:14But that's because he cares about his work.
19:17All of us, standing here, care so much about what we do.
19:21It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's not just about solving crimes.
19:25It's about doing it right.
19:27And that's why we show up.
19:29Because it's not just what we do, it's, it's who we are.
19:36Next question.
19:36So, two Sgt. Thomas, they're busting it.
19:40Look, look who arrives just in time for the clean-up.
19:58Look, I'm late.
19:59I know.
20:00The good news is, there's no more speeches.
20:02But the bad news, no more snacks.
20:04The Commissioner left ten minutes ago, and he said he's very disappointed, but not surprised.
20:09Direct quotes.
20:09Stop talking.
20:11Look, I've got some major intel on our victim, all right?
20:14I mean, it all makes total sense now.
20:16The military background, the fake passports, living off-grid.
20:20I mean, I should have worked this out before.
20:21Worked out what?
20:22He was a spy.
20:23No office arose.
20:25Henry Ashby was a professional hitman.
20:33So, multiple passports were found in the victim's house.
20:37Why is it so hard to get a book out of the library?
20:39Inspector, you do still work here?
20:43Yeah.
20:44Commissioner, look, I'm sorry about last night, but I was doing what I thought was best for the case.
20:49Disappearing in the name of duty is still disappearing.
20:53I made my expectations very clear.
20:57Yes, Commissioner, I'm sorry it won't happen again.
21:00You might also offer thanks to DS Thomas, who covered for your absence with great aplomb.
21:07Thank you, DS Thomas.
21:09Right, are we done?
21:11No.
21:13You will make amends with some community outreach work.
21:17Mrs. Desiree, one of our most senior residents, was in attendance last night.
21:23She told me she was in need of a little police assistance.
21:27I said we'd pay her a visit.
21:31That is her address.
21:33A tale of two cities.
21:40Have you read it before?
21:42I know, but I used to work weekends with a guy who ran Dickens tours.
21:46Like all his best, redemption, hope, the destructive nature of revenge.
21:52Not a million miles from this case.
21:54Ah, DS Thomas was updating me.
21:57Your victim is a hitman.
21:59Yeah, organised crime linked Henry Ashby to a shelved case.
22:03He's the prime suspect in a historic hit job in Putney, made to look like a break-in.
22:08The victim was a shop owner with ties to loan sharks.
22:11Henry made it look like a break-in?
22:13The theory goes, Henry's the guy you call in when things get heavy.
22:16There's other suspected hits, but the evidence is non-existent.
22:19I went through the victim's bank statements, Commissioner.
22:22There were years of large cash deposits.
22:24No employer, just drops.
22:27Why did he never catch him?
22:28I expect because he was good at his job.
22:30All they had on the guy was some grainy CCTV footage and the description of a very distinctive tattoo.
22:35Pegasus!
22:36Look, I still feel like I've seen that tattoo somewhere before, you know.
22:40I'm just not sure where.
22:43So, I did some digging into our suspect, Craig Pinnock.
22:49Turns out, Craig's a widower.
22:52This was his wife, Lucy Pinnock, died ten years ago on the 2nd of July.
22:57So?
22:58She was shot.
22:59A home-breaking gone wrong.
23:02No suspect, no motive, just a robbery turned fatal.
23:06Two robberies, two deaths, same M.O.
23:08Well, that's no coincidence.
23:10And here, three days before Lucy's death.
23:13The last cash drop.
23:15So, if Henry was a contract killer and Lucy Pinnock was one of his last jobs, then...
23:22Craig Pinnock suddenly has really good motive to want Henry Ashby dead.
23:27They were trying to scare me.
23:31Who was?
23:33Loan sharks.
23:34I started gambling and told myself I could get it out of control, but I owed so much money.
23:40And they were starting to hound me.
23:42And when they came to collect what you owed them, you didn't have it.
23:45And your wife was collateral.
23:46I hate myself every day for what they did to her.
23:54For what I caused.
23:55But you didn't tell the police.
23:57Must have been eating you up alive inside.
24:00The shame.
24:01The guilt.
24:02The rage.
24:03And so you decided you'd hunt down Henry Ashby yourself.
24:06I knew that the police would never find him.
24:09Because they didn't know the full truth.
24:11That it was a professional hit.
24:13Not an easy job.
24:14I mean, the trail was cold, wasn't it?
24:16For years.
24:17The killer was hiding out here, on St. Marie.
24:21How did you find Henry?
24:23Well, to people I owed money to, I did some digging.
24:26Eventually, I found out who they paid to do their dirty work.
24:30So, you knew exactly who Henry was.
24:34And you came anyway.
24:37If there was a chance, I could look him in the eye.
24:39Get him to answer for what he did.
24:41So, revenge.
24:42That was your plan.
24:43You knew exactly whose house you were at that night.
24:46Okay, look.
24:46I admit, I went there to confront him.
24:49But I never laid eyes on him.
24:50He wasn't there.
24:51You went back the next morning to finish the job.
24:53No.
24:54I've already told you this.
24:55I was on the other side of the island.
24:57Look, whoever went there that morning to shoot him, it was someone else.
25:00It wasn't me.
25:09Something wrong, Officer Rose?
25:11Or are you just exercising your thumb muscles?
25:13Hey, I'm working, actually.
25:15I had to scroll through this group chat to find this video.
25:17Although I did briefly get sidetracked by this chicken we're in Carnival.
25:20Please, bring it around the bush some more, Officer Rose.
25:23Sir, that tattoo.
25:24You know how I thought I recognized it from somewhere?
25:27Boom.
25:28Three months ago.
25:30Henry saved a woman who was caught up in a riptide out at Turtle Bay.
25:33He did no photos, no press.
25:36But somebody filmed it and the video went viral.
25:39The man went in twice.
25:42Once for the old lady.
25:44Once for the little dog.
25:46I printed these off.
25:47You can see the Pegasus tattoo in boat.
25:49So we have a trained assassin who saves poodles in his spare time.
25:52But it means literally anybody looking for Henry Ashby could have seen that video and come to the island for revenge.
26:01All right.
26:01So maybe someone else on a white moped or in a black top did go to Henry Ashby's place that morning and shoot him.
26:10Okay, we're going to have to check all routes to the woods behind Henry's place and any road cameras along the way.
26:16We should also look into who else knew Henry.
26:19Mm-hmm.
26:19Got it.
26:32It's me.
26:37The police are going to want to talk to me.
26:40But I don't want you to want it.
26:48Still no joy with the moped?
26:50No sign of anyone else on a white bike who could have possibly shot Henry.
26:55What about Fisherman's Way?
26:57It's the fastest route to the house.
26:59The only camera along there has been busted for weeks.
27:01So it's the perfect time for lunch.
27:04Cold case.
27:05Hot prawns.
27:06No, seriously, you have to try one of these.
27:08Captain Crustaceans, Firecracker, France.
27:11But thank you.
27:12But if you want real flavor, you got to go to Old Man Baptiste behind the cricket ground.
27:18My father used to take us after school.
27:20Baptiste had this secret marinade.
27:23Legendary.
27:24Woo!
27:24Mm.
27:25All right.
27:26Take your time.
27:27They're spicy.
27:29Mm.
27:31Am I just going to get a little bit of a kick?
27:35Oh, are you okay?
27:37Me all right.
27:38If we're speedy, we'll make it to Old Man Baptiste before he shots.
27:41We need milk.
27:46Interesting.
27:54Listen.
27:56I didn't get to say this properly before, but thank you for covering for me last night.
28:03Whatever it was you did or said.
28:05That's okay, sir.
28:07I, uh, I know you're maybe not feeling like yourself at the moment.
28:14Yeah.
28:15Well, um, it's, uh, it's not been the best few weeks.
28:20Finding her brother, then him going away again.
28:23But, you know, mate, I don't let those things get to me, right?
28:28Right.
28:29No.
28:30Sure you don't.
28:30What?
28:32What?
28:32Well, we haven't seen you much in the last week, sir.
28:39All you do is stay in your shack and watch football.
28:42I like football.
28:44I know.
28:45But it's a lot of football.
28:49Yeah, well, there's a lot of games.
28:51Listen, let's just focus on the case.
28:54What have you got?
28:54Actually, those weekly shopping trips Henry used to take, he was pulling out $500 like clockwork.
29:05That's some major coinage for groceries.
29:08And guess who was depositing the exact same amount into their account the same day every week?
29:14Fleur.
29:15Baxter.
29:16Henry was bankrolling Fleur's gardener?
29:21Why?
29:22Well, doesn't look like it was for fertilizer.
29:27Hush money.
29:29Maybe.
29:30Well, the payment stopped.
29:32One was due Friday.
29:34Never came.
29:36And a couple of days later, Henry's dead.
29:39It's true.
29:49Henry gave me money.
29:53But you never thought to mention it?
29:57Why was he paying you?
30:00He said it wasn't charity.
30:02He had money sitting there, doing nothing.
30:05We're not talking about a few bobby, Mr. Turpin.
30:08This is thousands.
30:09It sounds a lot to me like leverage.
30:12Extortion.
30:13No, no, no.
30:13That's not what it was.
30:14I would never.
30:15He stops paying you.
30:16You get angry.
30:17Decide to punish him.
30:18And that's why you...
30:18He's my son.
30:20Rio.
30:21He was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
30:26He got it early, but he still turned everything upside down.
30:29The bills are waiting, trying to keep things normal for him.
30:33I was barely holding it together.
30:36So then Henry started helping.
30:37I think that treatments wouldn't take no for an answer.
30:41And last week, Rio got the all clear.
30:46And the final thing Henry said to me was that he didn't want a penny back.
30:50Do you get the sense Henry was trying to atone for his actions?
31:00Saving that woman and her dog?
31:02Paying for Baxter's kids' health care?
31:04I mean, for a man who killed for a living, he seemed to suddenly find a moral code in life.
31:10Detectives.
31:12Sorry.
31:13There's something I need to tell you.
31:15I wasn't sure whether to say anything.
31:18Flo's been great to me, really.
31:20But...
31:21It was a few weeks ago.
31:24Flo was pretty out of it.
31:25I tried to help her out with the sun and...
31:29Men like him always think they can get away with it.
31:33She started muttering about Henry.
31:36She wasn't making a lot of sense.
31:38I doubt she meant anything by it.
31:40But it's been playing on my mind.
31:42I told you there was a shark caught along Fisherman's Way.
31:48I'm pretty sure you broke the sun barrier.
31:49No.
31:51No.
31:54Thank you for the memories.
31:56Oh, I'll never know if it lived up to his hype.
32:01Sorry, Sarge.
32:02Makes me realise how long I've been away from St. Mary.
32:06Come back expecting everything to be the same.
32:09That things change, right?
32:10You don't regret coming back, do you, Sarge?
32:13No.
32:14I couldn't stay in Jamaica anymore.
32:16It was right to leave.
32:19Do you miss him?
32:22Your ex?
32:24No.
32:25It just doesn't feel the same here, you know.
32:28That's all.
32:29Just getting used to it.
32:35Right, come on.
32:36Let's go back to the station.
32:40Let's try the boat.
33:06Miss Edwards.
33:06Oh, hello.
33:10Apologies for the mess.
33:14They come as a pair, Inspector.
33:17Not really my taste, to be honest.
33:19What he really means is he's not much of an arts collector.
33:26Please, they're fragile.
33:28Like your relationship with Henry.
33:30Yeah, your gardener told us about your drunken threats.
33:33Who knew I'd hired chatty Cathy?
33:37What did you mean when you said, men like him always get away with it?
33:43He tried it on with me.
33:45Didn't like being rejected.
33:46It sounded like you wanted to punish him for more than just making a pass at you.
33:52What aren't you telling us, Miss Edwards?
33:54All I'm guilty of, detectives, is bruising Henry's delicate ego.
34:01I don't believe you.
34:02I think you knew exactly who he was.
34:05Didn't you?
34:06I haven't the foggiest idea what you're talking about.
34:08I saw someone on a moped outside Henry's place.
34:11That's who killed him.
34:12Did you ever catch them, Inspector?
34:14I'd sleep much better knowing you did.
34:17Us too.
34:19We'll be in touch.
34:20First story isn't sitting right with me.
34:31But she has an alibi.
34:32Baxter was with her in her house when Henry Ashby was shot.
34:36And Baxter's account checks out.
34:38I spoke to the hospital.
34:40Everything he said about his son real is true.
34:43Which brings us back to Craig Pinnock.
34:44Who has motive coming out of his ears, but he also has an alibi for the murder.
34:48So, what you're saying is, the three people who could have shot Henry Ashby, couldn't have shot Henry Ashby.
34:55Exactly that.
34:56Inspector, one laptop, lab fresh, fully decrypted.
35:01Now, that's more like it.
35:02I don't think so, Inspector.
35:04You have somewhere to be, if you haven't forgotten, which I sense you have.
35:09Mrs. Desiree, how about I give you a lift there?
35:12Make sure you don't get lost.
35:14Maybe I should take this.
35:18Good luck, Inspector.
35:25Inspector!
35:28I bump into Mrs. Desiree in church every now and then.
35:35She makes the most superb ginger cake.
35:39Good for her.
35:40You seem confused, Inspector.
35:43Well, it's just that I thought you said she needed police assistance.
35:48Fixing her gate, that's a handyman's job.
35:52Perhaps.
35:53But if you hadn't realised the reason I asked you to do this was in the hope that you might learn something from it.
36:02Yeah, yeah, I figured as much.
36:05Going that extra mile for the community.
36:07Improving police relationships, etc, etc.
36:10Actually, this was more about you than my community initiative.
36:17Me?
36:17Inspector, I know the last week or so has been tough on you.
36:22And might have had you even thinking about why you stayed on, on this island.
36:29Maybe.
36:31Look, I'm not going to lie, okay?
36:33Now that Solomon and I have parted ways, yeah, it has had me wandering.
36:37Which is perfectly understandable.
36:42But, hiding away, avoiding people, not being part of this island's life, you're missing out.
36:52Yeah, yeah, I hear you.
36:54But, you know, fixing some old lady's gate, you really think that's the answer?
36:58Thank you, Commissioner.
36:59Oh, yes.
37:00I'll be right with you.
37:02Well, in answer to your question, I suppose you'll find out, Inspector.
37:17Don't I get any iced tea?
37:26Speed and tickets.
37:28Where'd them catch you?
37:29Fisherman's way.
37:30Must have been when we were going to Old Man Baptiste.
37:33I thought you said that camera was broken.
37:36It's been taped off for months.
37:43If it's working, then maybe that's the route the killer took.
37:47Let's go.
37:52Inspector.
37:57Mrs. Desiree's gate bit back.
38:00Ah.
38:01So, spent half the night going through Henry's laptop.
38:07He was researching Fleur.
38:08Social media, old exhibitions, personal records.
38:12Doesn't sound like a crush.
38:13No.
38:14He was looking for a connection.
38:16And now, I know to what.
38:20Fleur and Lucy Pinnock were housemates.
38:24Same university.
38:25Seemed super close.
38:26Lucy was using her maiden name.
38:29So, three months ago, Fleur moves in next door to the man who killed her best friend.
38:34And now he's dead.
38:35She was like a sister.
38:41Must have been a shark when she died.
38:45It didn't make sense.
38:47A robbery.
38:48Nothing really taken.
38:49And she'd never be caught up in anything dangerous.
38:52So, what did you do?
38:54The day before it happened, Lucy told me she thought a man was following her.
39:00It spooked her.
39:01It spooked her.
39:02She described him, his height, his build.
39:07Said he had a tattoo, a winged horse on his forearm.
39:11I told the police.
39:12They dropped it.
39:13But you never forgot.
39:15And then, years later, you saw a news story.
39:20Henry saving a woman and her dog.
39:22All of a sudden, there he was.
39:25So, you tracked him down to St. Marie, casually moved in next door, and then made nice?
39:30I wanted to understand how someone like that could keep on living.
39:34And when you couldn't understand, you killed him?
39:36In case you'd forgotten, Inspector, I was making lemonade.
39:39Something I was about to offer you, but I'm thinking better of it.
39:42Hang on, so you're telling me the man who robbed Lucy of her life was on your doorstep, and you did zilch?
39:47Of course I wanted him to pay.
39:50To see the shame in his eyes when he realised I knew who he was, what he'd done.
39:55But I never got the chance.
39:57I didn't kill him.
39:59Lucy's husband is out here too.
40:02Craig's on St. Marie.
40:04Bit of a coincidence, don't you think?
40:06You two turning up on the same island?
40:09You knew he was here.
40:13Okay, um...
40:15The night before Henry died, I did see someone on a moped outside his house.
40:21It looked like Craig.
40:23My heart almost stopped.
40:25I told myself, if it was him, whatever he was up to, I wanted nothing to do with it.
40:32And then Henry turned up dead.
40:34Craig, I gave you the number plate, hoping and praying that I was mistaken, and that Craig wasn't involved.
40:43He's at the centre of everything.
40:49Just never where we need him to be.
40:50Inspector, you're going to want to see this.
40:53But we just checked the speed camera on Fisherman's Way, and it caught something.
40:57Okay, so this is about six minutes away from the victim's house, 10.21 the morning of the murder.
41:03Just wait for it.
41:05Boom! Right there, sir.
41:06Guy in a blacktop, on a white moped, with the same registration plate as the one Craig Pinnock hired.
41:11So Craig Pinnock did it.
41:13We now know he drove to the victim's house at the time of the murder.
41:16Now, wait. Why did the street vendor say he was buying coconut water when it happened?
41:25Okay, let's play this out.
41:27DS Thomas, you be the victim. Over there, please.
41:30Officer Rose, you be Craig. Just there.
41:33And Sergeant Fletcher, you be the vendor.
41:35Right, phone?
41:36Okay, go.
41:40Yes, bro. Just grabbing a coconut water now, innit?
41:43Yeah. I'll send over them figures soon.
41:46Definitely not going to shoot nobody today.
41:48Remind me never to take your undercover.
41:52That's it.
41:53It's simple.
41:55Craig wasn't actually on a call.
41:57He was pretending, like Officer Rose was just now.
42:00He made sure he was seen and heard so that when we asked the vendor...
42:03We were told the story Craig wanted us to hear.
42:07Not the truth.
42:08The vendor never knew the time, only that Craig was on the phone.
42:13Confirmation by us.
42:14Exactly. The real call was made at 10.30, but from somewhere else.
42:19Craig shot Henry.
42:20Yes.
42:20Rode a short distance. Made the call as planned at 10.30.
42:24Finally, his alibi has crumbled.
42:28I'm telling you, I'm innocent.
42:30You lied about your alibi, and now you want us to believe you.
42:34Okay. Yes.
42:35I haven't been telling the truth, but...
42:37Come on, please. You have to give me one more chance.
42:4130 seconds.
42:43Okay. Um...
42:44So, yes, I went to Henry's house, and I took a gun.
42:48I was working myself up to killing him, okay? I admit it.
42:51But then I heard a gunshot, okay?
42:53And I thought he'd see me. I thought maybe he was shooting at me.
42:56But I didn't stick around to find out. I just... I got on the moped, and I went away, and I didn't look back.
43:02And this gun, you're a gun. Where is it now?
43:05Well, I chucked it in the sea.
43:07Look, I can show you exactly where.
43:09Please, you have to believe me.
43:11It wasn't me.
43:19I believe it.
43:20Even though he's repeatedly lied to us throughout this investigation.
43:24Yep.
43:25Even though he admits to being at the victim's house at the time of the murder.
43:29With a gun.
43:30And a motive.
43:30Yep.
43:31So, if you think he didn't do it, sir, then...
43:34Who did?
43:35I'm having a Scooby.
43:36Because it also can't be either of these.
43:38And I'll tell you what's really bugging me about all this.
43:42The victim's copy of this book was missing from his bookshelf.
43:45And it hasn't turned up anywhere during the investigation.
43:47So, where is it?
43:49Wait, you read the whole book in the last few days?
43:51Well, I just speed read it.
43:53So, what was the story about?
43:56Well, basically, it's about a guy who tries to make things right.
44:00And the only way he feels he can do that is if he...
44:03Whoa.
44:06Wait a minute.
44:09Because if you look at it that way,
44:11that changes the whole perspective on everything.
44:14A tale of true cities.
44:16Redemption.
44:17Hope.
44:17The destructive nature of revenge.
44:19Do you get the sense Henry was trying to atone for his actions?
44:23They were trying to scare me.
44:23Who was?
44:24Loan sharks.
44:25I'd started gambling and I had so much money and they were starting to hound me.
44:29It's my son, Rio.
44:31He was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
44:34So then Henry started hunting, paying for treatments.
44:37Wouldn't take nor for an answer.
44:38If I have to read a book,
44:40I usually start at the last page first.
44:42It's worth the sad endings.
44:44Which would mean...
44:45You worked at all.
44:47I have.
44:48And if I'm right about all this,
44:51in a funny way,
44:52the answer's been there the whole time.
44:54The book?
44:54Yeah.
44:56I think I know where it might be.
44:57And that explains everything.
45:02Thanks, Charlie.
45:04Appreciate it.
45:07Ready, boss?
45:08Second time lucky, huh?
45:24Second time lucky, huh?
45:26A book.
45:48A gun.
45:52And a bullet.
45:56Let's start with this, shall we?
46:07A tale of two cities.
46:10A story about redemption and sacrifice.
46:14And at the back of this book,
46:16Henry Ashby left a story of his own.
46:19The main character in this story,
46:21he dies in the end.
46:22But he gave up his life to atone for what he'd done.
46:27For a while, we were looking for a killer
46:29that was never there.
46:31Because Henry Ashby wasn't murdered.
46:35He took his own life.
46:38Henry's final words.
46:41A suicide note addressed to you, Miss Edwards,
46:43written in the back of the book.
46:44But also a confession to Lucy Pinnock's murder.
46:50But why would Henry take his own life?
46:54And why now?
46:56The past caught up with him.
46:59Claire, you found the viral video,
47:02recognized Henry,
47:03and you shared it with Craig, didn't you?
47:05You finally found the man who murdered Lucy
47:08after all these years.
47:10But you didn't wait for Craig.
47:11You came out to St. Marie alone.
47:13You conveniently moved in next door to Henry.
47:17All this to get closer to the man who killed Lucy.
47:21And those drunken threats you aimed at Henry
47:23that the gardener witnessed.
47:25Henry hadn't tried it on with you at all, had he?
47:27What was eating away at you
47:28was the thought that this man
47:30had got away with murdering your best friend.
47:33So you insisted Craig fly to St. Marie.
47:38Henry was on to you, wasn't he?
47:41Something felt different.
47:42He seemed off with me, drove in silence.
47:47So you had to strike before he fled the island
47:50or did something even worse.
47:52And together, you orchestrated your revenge.
47:56The plan was simple.
47:58Craig, you would arrive at Henry's place
48:00just before 10.30.
48:01You both arranged your alibis.
48:04Fleur, you knew Baxter would be at yours for his shift.
48:08And Craig, you arranged a work call
48:10that you'd take at 10.30 after you shot Henry
48:13then made out that you were buying coconut water
48:15at the same time.
48:17But then something unexpected happened, didn't it?
48:19Because Henry worked out what you had in store for him.
48:23Craig, when you sculpted out Henry's the night before his death,
48:27we believe Henry, as a trained killer,
48:29was watching you.
48:30Your actions, Craig, tipped Henry off
48:33that his time was up.
48:35The past, the guilt,
48:38it was all coming back to haunt him.
48:40And as a man who lived in control,
48:44he chose the only thing he felt he could still command.
48:47The ending to his own story.
48:51It's not the right way.
48:53But in his mind, it was the only option.
48:55So sometime before 10.30 the following morning,
48:59Henry shot himself.
49:03Fleur, you must have been confused.
49:05But Craig arrived early.
49:07But when you found the body,
49:09you also found the book.
49:12And inside it,
49:14something you weren't expecting.
49:17The truth,
49:19in a note left for you.
49:21And once you'd read it,
49:22you knew there and then
49:23that you couldn't let this die with him.
49:25So you proceeded to stage a crime scene
49:27to make it look like Henry had been murdered.
49:30You took his gun,
49:31the one thing he kept for protection,
49:33given his past,
49:34and you left the doors wide open.
49:36You even scattered mud from the garden.
49:39Before firing a second gunshot at 10.30
49:41from your kitchen,
49:43breaking a plot pot
49:44and creating a false time of death.
49:48A second bullet from a second gunshot,
49:51which you recovered from your garden
49:53later that morning.
49:54All that was left
49:55was to steer us
49:57toward the right culprit.
49:59The moped number plate was smooth.
50:00But why go to all that trouble?
50:07Her death haunted me most.
50:10Usually they had it coming,
50:12but not her.
50:15You see,
50:16that's what's so
50:16heartbreaking about it,
50:18isn't it, Craig?
50:19Because
50:20Lucy
50:21was a real victim here.
50:23It was just as I suspected.
50:24I spent my life
50:27following orders,
50:28but this one was the cruelest.
50:31Your friend was an innocent woman,
50:33and you should know the truth.
50:36The hit
50:36was commissioned by
50:38her own
50:39husband.
50:42You see,
50:43the order didn't come from
50:44faceless loan sharks,
50:46but from you.
50:48You're the reason
50:49she's dead.
50:50I'm sorry,
50:51you've got this all wrong.
50:52When will you
50:53finally stop lying?
50:55You played the grieving husband
50:57seeking revenge
50:58when all you really wanted
50:59was silence.
51:00You hired Henry Ashby,
51:02a professional hitman,
51:04to stage a botched
51:05armed robbery
51:05so you could cash in
51:06your wife's life insurance
51:08and pay off
51:09your gambling debts.
51:12Fleur,
51:12I assume you
51:14held on to these,
51:17the book,
51:18the gun,
51:20as your plan B,
51:21in case your plot
51:22to stitch up Craig
51:23was exposed.
51:25You framed him
51:26for Henry's murder
51:27because you couldn't
51:28go to the police
51:29without having to admit
51:30you and Craig
51:31planned to kill Henry.
51:33So,
51:33yeah,
51:34this confession
51:36will ensure
51:37Craig finally faces
51:39the murder charges
51:40for your best friend.
51:40However,
51:42I'm afraid
51:43your attempt
51:43to pervert
51:44the course of justice
51:45can't be overlooked.
51:48Craig Pinnock,
51:50I'm arresting you
51:51for conspiracies
51:52and murder.
51:56She loved you
51:57and you sentenced
51:59her to death.
52:01I hope it haunts you
52:02for the rest
52:03of your life.
52:03as soon as Mervyn arrives,
52:24we'll be ready to go.
52:26Dare I ask?
52:28I'm sure
52:29he'll be here, sir.
52:30So, Sarge,
52:32I did some digging
52:34and asking around.
52:37I got you this.
52:41Old Man Baptiste's
52:42secret recipe.
52:44As much as anyone
52:45could remember.
52:49Thought you might want
52:50to taste at home,
52:51you know?
52:51Hmm,
52:52I just need to learn
52:53how to cook now.
52:54Now this will really
52:55burn your eyebrows
52:56off your face.
52:57Sorry.
53:01Sorry.
53:02Better late
53:03than never, Mervyn.
53:04Go and stand
53:05beside the commissioner.
53:09Sorry,
53:10I'm late, commissioner.
53:11I had a visitor.
53:13Mrs. Desiree
53:14dropped by.
53:15She made me a cake.
53:17Lock in your head.
53:18It's a nice cake
53:19as well.
53:21And yeah,
53:22I get it.
53:24Look out,
53:25not in.
53:26Right?
53:26Everyone's ready?
53:31Three,
53:32two,
53:33one,
53:35smile.
53:42I got an accidental death
53:45by St. Vincent's church,
53:47which is Seb's mother's church.
53:50You think it's suspicious?
53:51That's not possible.
53:52The church was all
53:53locked up from the inside.
53:54Nobody forgets in,
53:55our old.
53:56There is a dark secret
53:57that has been buried
53:58for too long
53:58and it's time
53:59the truth came out.
54:00Your head is
54:01pinging around
54:02all over the place.
54:03But Sarge,
54:03I need to show you.
54:04But you're not
54:05helping right now.
54:06Not one person
54:07is who I thought
54:08they were.
54:09But I never thought
54:09they would be one of them.
54:10the other people's
54:11the other person who was
54:12and he's like,
54:13you know,
54:15he's a big boy.
54:15I was like,
54:16an image of Jesus.
54:16I don't know what that is.
54:17I don't know.
54:18I don't know what that is.
54:18But I didn't know what that is.
54:19Because of the fact is that
54:19you're so good.
54:19I don't know what that is.
