00:01Jeans down.
00:03Relax your faces.
00:06In Paris, we say, you don't take a photograph.
00:10You create it.
00:13Okay?
00:14You're really into this.
00:17Just makes a change to be in a photo where my head won't get cut off.
00:21Every family photo ever.
00:23You see me from the shoulders, don't.
00:25Shall we try your hand on your hip?
00:31Less like you've stepped on a sea urchin.
00:34More like you just heard the rums on the house.
00:40Morning, Commissioner.
00:42Where is Inspector Wilson?
00:46We did try, sir.
00:48He said he's only here short term, so didn't think it was his place.
00:53Also, apparently football is on.
00:55And presumably the prime rate drops every time his team plays.
01:02One can only hope, sir.
01:04The whole point of this initiative is to make the wider community feel that we are all in this for
01:14them.
01:15to strengthen their trust in us.
01:19How are we going to begin to do that when our senior detective can't be bothered to turn up for
01:27a team photograph?
01:29He better make it to the launch this evening.
01:33Um, I should get that.
01:36Excuse me, sir.
01:42Come on.
01:44Just give me the second half.
01:46It's not even a big game.
01:52What?
01:53The commissioner is seriously not happy you missed your close-up.
01:57Can't they just Photoshop me in?
01:58Something tells me he's not going to go for that.
02:01Is that all you came here for?
02:03No.
02:03There's been a shooting up in the hills.
02:14Stupid island.
02:18Victim's name is Henry Ashby, originally from the UK, moved to St. Marie ten years ago.
02:25What else do we know?
02:26Uh, his neighbour, Fleur Edwards, and her gardener, Baxter Turton, heard the shot around 10.30.
02:32When they arrived, the doors were wide open, and they saw someone on a white moped speeding off through the
02:38trees.
02:39Miss Edwards said she saw the same moped outside the house last night.
02:43Even got her registration number.
02:44Sergeant Fletcher is on the case.
02:47Oh.
02:48There's mud on the floor.
02:51No sign of a forced entry.
02:55So, either the victim let the killer in, or the killer let themself in from the garden, shot Henry, and
03:04pegged it back the same way.
03:05That's a serious tattoo, boss.
03:08Do I feel like I've seen it somewhere before?
03:11Yeah, it's Pegasus.
03:12Oh!
03:13The flying horse mutant thing.
03:15Something like that.
03:16And the bloke riding him is Bellerophon.
03:18He's part of the parachute regiment in Signia.
03:20Mate of mine had one.
03:22He said the army trained him for anything.
03:26Which is why he now runs a soft-plane Croydon.
03:30Yeah, he might be a military man, so let's check that out, shall we?
03:35Ten years on this island, and not even a vase in the gaff.
03:39A big read as all.
03:41Yeah.
03:42Man had a lot of books.
03:48Interesting.
03:49What is?
03:50This is a meticulously organized library.
03:54And he's filed his books alphabetically by author.
03:57Reading's never really been my thing, you know.
03:59But if I have to read a book, I usually start at the last page first.
04:04Know what I mean?
04:05Swerve the sad endings.
04:07Hang on.
04:08There's one missing.
04:11This section is Charles Dickens' novels.
04:14Pickwick Papers, Our Mutual Friend David Copperfield, etc.
04:19There's one missing.
04:22Which one is it?
04:25I think it's Tale of Two Cities.
04:27Yeah, it's definitely Tale of Two Cities.
04:29Where can that have got to?
04:31Officer Rose, check the bedside table, yeah?
04:35He might have lent it to someone, or even lost it.
04:39Maybe.
04:41Nothing in the bedroom, sir.
04:52I was taking off my boots.
04:54Then we both heard it.
04:56It's terrifying.
04:58I could feel it in my bones, something awful had happened.
05:01We rushed straight over, but...
05:03We were too late.
05:04Next thing I know, I heard ties kicking up dirt.
05:08Couldn't get a look at the registration plate,
05:10but they were wearing a helmet and a black top.
05:15And you said you think you saw the same moped last night?
05:18I'm often at working date.
05:20From my studio, I can see Henry's.
05:23Someone was outside, lurking, peering through his windows.
05:27At first, I thought maybe it was the delivery driver.
05:31Wrong address.
05:33But something felt...
05:35Off.
05:36So I jotted the number plate down in my sketchbook.
05:38How long have you lived out here?
05:40Three months.
05:41Long enough to adore it.
05:43I needed space for my work, to find inspiration, and...
05:48Look.
05:50Of course, when I arrived, the garden was an absolute jungle.
05:53Hired me on the spot.
05:55Said the weeds were choking her genius.
05:59And Henry?
06:00Was he a good neighbor?
06:02He kept...
06:03Kept to himself.
06:05Didn't seem to want to get close.
06:07Still, he drove you into town on Fridays, right?
06:10Big shop day?
06:11That's the only thing on his calendar.
06:13He offered.
06:14I may have mentioned how tiresome I find driving.
06:17Having done it for years in London.
06:19And there's no Jubilee line on St. Marie, right?
06:22Quite.
06:25Anyone else?
06:26Ever stop by?
06:28Not that I know of.
06:30Fleur's right.
06:30Mr. Asby wasn't much for company.
06:34Preferred books?
06:35Yeah, speaking of which, did he ever lend you any?
06:39Tail of two cities, maybe?
06:41Dickens?
06:43Inspector?
06:45We'll be in touch.
06:54So that more pets from my rental outfit?
06:56More Panglory?
06:58Just spoke to the owner, Winston.
06:59Bit of a relic.
07:00But he keep our good records, you know?
07:02Bottom line.
07:03Uh, driver's a tourist from the UK.
07:05Arrived a week ago, but he provided an ID and a local address.
07:10Craig Pinnock.
07:11An accountant from Nunhead in London.
07:19Craig Pinnock.
07:21Want to step away from the bike, please?
07:26So, how can I help you, detectives?
07:28There's not a problem, is there?
07:29We need to establish your whereabouts this morning.
07:33Yeah, a fatal shooting just a few miles from here.
07:35A man called Henry Ashby was murdered.
07:38Do you know him?
07:40Well, no.
07:42Never heard of the guy.
07:44That's funny.
07:46A moped, just like the one you were scrubbing clean outside,
07:49was used to flee the scene.
07:51We also have evidence placing that same white moped and its driver outside the victim's house last night.
07:57What?
07:58Sorry.
08:00No, there must be some mistake.
08:02I, um...
08:03Look, I didn't shoot anyone.
08:07How do we clear this up?
08:08Well, let's start from the beginning, yeah?
08:12Last night, why was your moped seen outside the victim's villa up in the hills?
08:19Right.
08:20Okay.
08:20Um, so I may have driven past that house last night, but only because I took a wrong turn.
08:25I was, um...
08:26I was looking for a property, a villa that I'd seen online,
08:30and, um, I thought there might be somebody in to point me in the right direction, but no answer.
08:36You were looking for a house for sale?
08:38After dark?
08:40Yes.
08:40I mean, it was supposed to have beautiful sunset views, and, um...
08:45Well, I'm looking to buy out here.
08:46Yeah? Remote accounting, less stress.
08:49So you were at the victim's villa, but you never interacted with him?
08:53No.
08:54No, absolutely not.
08:55What about in the morning?
08:58It was definitely my moped that was seen.
09:00Our witnesses didn't get a registration, but the description matches.
09:04And the rider was wearing...
09:07a black top.
09:10Okay, so I can see now why you might think it was me, but...
09:13it wasn't.
09:15So it was just coincidence.
09:17Someone else was there this morning, dressed just like you,
09:20on a similar white moped outside the same property you were visiting last night.
09:26Must be.
09:27That's bizarre, isn't it?
09:29But I can assure you, detectives, that I was nowhere near that house.
09:34Then where were you 10.30 when the shooting happened?
09:37Well, in coconut water.
09:39There's a street bender, and I'd stopped to make a work call.
09:42Felt thirsty, and this was definitely 10.30.
09:45Where was this?
09:46Crescent Cove.
09:49The opposite side of the island to the crime scene.
09:53Convenient.
09:54Convenient?
09:55Now, look, you've got the wrong person.
09:58I didn't shoot anyone. Check my phone.
10:00We will.
10:03Thank you for your help.
10:04We'll be in touch if we need anything further.
10:08Well, the vendor confirms he served Craig this morning.
10:11And he was on his phone the whole time, that's why he remembers him.
10:14Craig's client also confirms they spoke at 15.30 UK time, which is 10.30 here.
10:20They spoke for five minutes, and it all tallies with the call of on Craig's phone.
10:25But it has to be Craig that shot Henry Ashby.
10:27His clothing was identified, and the bike, and he was outside Henry's the night before.
10:33And you saw what it was like at the villa. It was all over the place.
10:36But he has an alibi for the time of the murder, sir.
10:39So if it was him, then how did he do it?
10:57Craig's definitely holding back.
10:58So if we don't yet know how he managed to shoot Henry Ashby, let's focus on his motive.
11:04Why did he do it?
11:10Sergeant Fletcher, what have you got for us?
11:13Inspector, bit of a development at Henry's.
11:17Seems there's a little more to him than we first thought.
11:24A spy. I'm telling you, he has to be a spy.
11:27Henry was definitely mixed up in something murky. Surveillance, perhaps?
11:32A spy. A hundred percent. I'm talking code names. You know?
11:37Drop-off locations. Secret hand shares.
11:39Exploding pens.
11:40His military records came in.
11:42Henry rose through the ranks quickly before a voluntary discharge 15 years ago.
11:48Then, nothing. No paper trail, no fixed address.
11:52Banished.
11:54Until... Saint Marie.
11:56What about his phone?
11:57Zero phone calls. The man had nobody checking in.
12:01I mean, it's like you just totally ghosted life.
12:03And his laptop?
12:05Locked down tight.
12:07But I've asked the lab and they're checking it out.
12:09But his bank account?
12:12Stucked. Living off-grid with serious money behind him.
12:16Makes you wonder who or what was he running from?
12:20I've got a mate in Organised Crime Command.
12:22I'll give her a call, see if what we've found triggers anything her in.
12:26But let's keep looking into Craig Pinnock.
12:28Now we know that the victim isn't what he seems.
12:32There must be a reason Craig wanted him dead.
12:35It's time we headed over to the Commissioner's launch.
12:38Ready, sir?
12:39I'll catch you up. I've got this phone call to make first.
12:43Okay.
12:45See you there.
12:48Don't be late.
12:55You know, Commissioner asked us to say a few words about what St. Marie means to us.
13:00And I was like, man, I mean, where do I start, you know?
13:05So what did you go for?
13:06Officer Rose's top ten favourite places to fill your belly.
13:11Okay.
13:13Do you think that's quite what the Commissioner...
13:16Hmm?
13:17You know what? That is perfect.
13:22You're right.
13:25Big crowds.
13:27It tends to happen when you offer fruit snacks.
13:31The Inspector's cutting it fine.
13:32We want to be in his booths when he arrives.
13:36It's a wonderful turnout, don't you think?
13:40What all the phone calls?
13:43If only every idea came together so smoothly.
13:48I should have escorted him here myself.
13:53Mervyn made a commitment, no?
13:56Focus on your speech.
13:58And at number two, we have the Grill Bar.
14:01You know the one with the sweet, sweet curry goat.
14:05The one where the chef sings love songs as he cooks.
14:09I'm actually thinking about starting my own food tour.
14:12So at the end, all pretend best that we can speak.
14:15Thank you, thank you, thank you for that enthusiasm.
14:20Officer Rose.
14:23Thank you for coming, everyone.
14:29Tonight is a new beginning.
14:32Since returning to St. Marie, I have been made aware that I need to recommit.
14:42To reassure you that this island still matters to me, to us.
14:52And you, its people, matter even more.
14:56This is the first step, rebuilding trust, strengthening the relationship between myself and my team and you.
15:08The people we serve.
15:14No answer.
15:17We will proceed with a Q and A as planned.
15:22First questions, please.
15:24Yes, I've got a question.
15:25Why did the detective not bother showing up?
15:28Yes. Yes.
15:30Um.
15:32Well.
15:34Um.
15:35Um, actually, Commissioner, um, can I take this one?
15:41Of course.
15:53D.I. Wilson's not here because he's working on a murder case.
15:59And knowing him, he's probably so deep into it, he hasn't realized the time.
16:07But that's because he cares about his work.
16:11All of us standing here care so much about what we do.
16:16It's, it's not just about solving crimes.
16:19It's about doing it right.
16:21And that's why we show up.
16:23Because it's not just what we do.
16:27It's, it's who we are.
16:39Thank you, now.
16:41Well done.
16:42next question so to sergeant thomas they're busting it look look who arrives just in time
16:53for the cleanup look i'm late i know but the good news is there's no more speeches but the bad
16:58news
16:59no more snacks the commissioner left 10 minutes ago and he said he's very disappointed but not
17:04surprised direct quotes stop talking look i've got some major intel on our victim all right i mean
17:11it all makes total sense now the military background the fake passports living off grid i mean i should
17:17have worked this out before worked out what he was a smile no officer rose henry ashby was a professional
17:24hitman so multiple passports were found in the victim's house why is it so hard to get a book
17:37the library inspector you do still work here yeah commissioner look i'm sorry about last night but
17:44i was doing what i thought was best for the case disappearing in the name of duty is still
17:50disappearing i made my expectations very clear yes commissioner i'm sorry it won't happen again
17:58you might also offer thanks to ds thomas who covered for your absence with great aplomb
18:06thank you ds thomas right are we done no you will make amends with some community outreach work
18:16mrs desiree one of our most senior residents was in attendance last night she told me she was in need
18:24of a
18:24little police assistance i said would pay her a visit that is her address
18:38a tale of two cities have you read it before i know but i used to work weekends with a
18:45guy who ran dickens
18:47tours like all his best redemption hope the destructive nature of revenge not a million miles
18:55from this case um ds thomas was updating me your victim is a hitman yeah organized crime linked henry ashby
19:03to a shelved case he's the prime suspect in a historic hit job in putney made to look like a
19:09break-in
19:10the victim was a shop owner with ties to loan sharks henry made it look like a break-in
19:15the theory goes henry's the guy you call him when things get heavy there's other suspected hits
19:20but the evidence is non-existent i went through the victim's bank statements commissioner there were
19:25years of large cash deposits no employer just drops why did they never catch him i expect because he was
19:32good at his job all they had on the guy was some grainy cctv footage and the description of a
19:37very
19:37distinctive tattoo pegasus no i still feel like i've seen that tattoo somewhere before you know i'm just
19:44not sure where
19:48so i did some digging into our suspect craig pinnock turns out craig's a widower this was his wife lucy
19:58pinnock died 10 years ago on the 2nd of july so she was shot a home-breaking gone wrong no
20:07suspect no
20:08motive just a robbery turned fatal two robberies two deaths same mo well that's no coincidence and here
20:16three days before lucy's death the last cash drop so if henry was a contract killer and lucy pinnock was
20:25one of his last jobs then craig pinnock suddenly has really good motive to want henry ashby dead
20:36they were trying to scare me who was loan sharks i'd started gambling and um
20:43told myself i could get out of control but i owed so much money
20:47and they were starting to hound me and when they came to collect what you owed them you didn't have
20:52it and your wife was collateral i hate myself every day for what they did to her
21:01for what i caused but you didn't tell the police must have been eating you up alive inside
21:08the shame the guilt the rage and so you decided you'd hunt down henry ashby yourself
21:13i knew that the police would never find him because they didn't know the full truth
21:19that it was a professional hit not an easy job i mean that the trail was cold wasn't it for
21:25years
21:26the killer was hiding out here on saint marie how did you find henry well people i owed money to
21:33i did
21:34some digging eventually i found out who they paid to do their dirty work so you knew exactly who henry
21:43was
21:43and you came anyway if there was a chance i could look him in the eye get him to answer
21:50for what he
21:50did so revenge that was your plan you knew exactly whose house you're at that night okay look i admit
21:57i went there to confront him but i never laid eyes on him he wasn't there you went back the
22:02next morning
22:03to finish the job no i've already told you this i was on the other side of the island
22:08look whoever went there that morning to shoot him it was someone else it wasn't me
22:21something wrong officer rose or are you just exercising your thumb muscles hey i'm working
22:26actually had to scroll through this group chat to find this video although i did briefly get
22:30sidetracked by this chicken we're in carnival please beat around the bush some more officer rose
22:35sir that tattoo you know how i thought i recognized it from somewhere boom three months ago henry saved a
22:43woman who was caught up in a riptide out at turtle bay he did no photos no press but somebody
22:49filmed it
22:50and the video went viral the man went in twice once for the old lady once for the little dog
22:58i printed
22:59these off you can see the pegasus tattoo in both so we have a trained assassin who saves poodles
23:05in his spare time but it means literally anybody looking for henry ashby could have seen that video
23:13and come to the island for revenge all right so maybe someone else on a white moped wearing a black
23:20top did go to henry ashby's place that morning and shoot him okay we're gonna have to check all
23:26routes to the woods behind henry's place and any road cameras along the way we should also look into
23:32who else knew henry got it it's me
23:52the police are gonna want to talk to me but i don't want you to worry
24:04still no joy with the moped no sign of anyone else on a white bike who could have possibly shot
24:10henry
24:12what's about fisherman's way it's the fastest route to the house the only camera along there has
24:17been busted for weeks so it's the perfect time for lunch cold case hot prawns no seriously you have
24:24to try one of these captain crustaceans fire cracker prawns but thank you but if you want real flavor oh
24:33you got to go to old man baptize behind the cricket ground my father used to take us after school

25:13listen i didn't get to say this properly before but thank you for covering for me last night
25:23whatever it was you did or said that's okay sir i uh
25:29i know you're maybe not feeling like yourself at the moment yeah well um it's uh it's not been the
25:39best few weeks finding their brother then him going away again but you know mate i don't let those
25:46things get to me right right no sure you don't what well
25:56we haven't seen you much in the last week sir all you do is stay in your shack and watch
26:03football
26:04i like football i know but it's a lot of football yeah well there's a lot of games listen let's
26:14just
26:14focus on the case what have you got actually those weekly shopping trips henry used to take
26:24he was pulling out 500 like clockwork that's some major coinage for groceries and guess who was
26:32depositing the exact same amount into their account the same day every week fleur baxter
26:42henry was bankrolling fleur's gardener why well doesn't look like it was for fertilizer
26:51so
26:52harsh money maybe but the payment stopped one was due friday never came
27:00and a couple of days later henry's dead
27:10it's true
27:15henry gave me money but you never thought to mention it
27:23why was he paying you he said it wasn't charity he had money sitting there doing nothing we're
27:31not talking about a few bobby and mr turton this is thousands it sounds a lot to me like never
27:38rich extortion no no no that's not what it was i would never he stops paying you you get angry
27:43decide
27:43to punish him and that's why you son rio he was diagnosed with hodgkin's lymphoma
27:53regarded early but it still turned everything upside down
27:56the bills are waiting trying to keep things normal for him i was barely holding it together
28:03so then henry started helping paying for treatments wouldn't take no for an answer
28:09and last week rio got the all clear and the final thing henry said to me was that he didn't
28:17want a
28:18penny back
28:24do you get the sense henry was trying to atone for his actions saving that woman and her dog paying
28:32for
28:32baxter's kids health care i mean for a man who killed for a living he seemed to suddenly find a
28:38moral
28:38code in life detectives sorry there's something i need to tell you i wasn't sure whether to say
28:47anything fleur's been great to me really but it was a few weeks ago fleur is pretty out of it
28:57i tried to help her out to the sun and men like him always think they can get away with
29:03it
29:03she started muttering about henry she wasn't making a lot of sense i doubt she meant anything
29:10by it but it's been playing on my mind i told you there was a shot cut along fisherman's way
29:19i'm
29:19pretty sure you brought the sun barrier no no thank you for the memories oh i'll never know if it
29:28lived up to his hype
29:33sorry sarge makes me realize how long i've been away from saint marie come back expecting everything to be
29:40the same but things change right you don't regret coming back do you sarge no i couldn't stay in
29:47jamaica anymore it was right to leave do you miss him
29:55your ex no it just doesn't feel the same here you know that's all just getting used to it
30:09it's right come on let's go back to the station
30:13so
30:35let's try the back
30:41miss edwards oh hello apologies for the mess
30:49they come as a pair inspector
30:53not really my taste to be honest what he really means is he's not much of um an arts collector
31:02please they're fragile like your relationship with henry yeah your gardener told us about your
31:08drunken threats who knew i'd hired chatty kathy what did you mean when you said men like him always get
31:18away with it he tried it on with me didn't like being rejected it sounded like you wanted to punish
31:25him for
31:25more than just making a pass at you
31:30what aren't you telling us he said words all i'm guilty of detectives is bruising henry's delicate ego
31:38i don't believe you i think you knew exactly who he was didn't you i haven't the foggiest idea what
31:45you're talking about i saw someone on a moped outside henry's place that's who killed him
31:51did you ever catch them inspector i'd sleep much better knowing you did us too
31:57we'll be in touch
32:08fler's story isn't sitting right with me but she had an alibi baxter was with her in her house
32:13when henry ashby was shot and baxter's occult checks out i spoke to the hospital everything
32:20he said about his son real is true which brings us back to craig pinnock who has motive coming out
32:25of his ears but he also has an alibi for the murder so what you're saying is the three people
32:31who could
32:31have shot henry ashby couldn't have shot henry ashby exactly that inspector one laptop lab fresh fully
32:41decrypted now that's more like it i don't think so inspector you have somewhere to be if you haven't
32:47forgotten which i sense you have mrs desiree how about i give you a lift there make sure you don't
32:55get
32:55lost maybe i should take this good luck inspector inspector
33:11i bump into mrs desiree in church every now and then she makes the most superb ginger cake
33:22good for her you seem confused inspector well it's just that i thought you said she needed police
33:29assistance fixing a gate that's a handyman's job perhaps but if you hadn't realized the reason i asked
33:40you to do this was in the hope that you might learn something from it yeah yeah i figured as
33:48much going
33:49that extra mile for the community improving police relationships etc etc actually this was more about
33:57you than my community initiative me inspector i know the last week or so has been tough on you
34:08and might have had you even thinking about why you stayed on on this island
34:16maybe look i'm not gonna lie okay now that solomon and i have parted ways yeah it has had me
34:23wondering which is perfectly understandable but hiding away avoiding people not being part of this island's
34:33life you're missing out yeah yeah i hear you but you know fixing some old lady's gate you really think
34:44that's the answer oh yes thank you i'll be right with you
34:52in answer to your question
34:55i suppose you'll find out inspector
35:04but don't i get any iced tea
35:14speeding tickets where them catcher fisherman's way must have been when we were going to old man baptize
35:21i thought you said that camera was broken it's been taped off a month
35:32if it's working then maybe that's the route the killer took let's go
35:42inspector
35:47mrs desirée's gate bit back ah so
35:53spent half the night going through henry's laptop he was researching fleur social media old exhibitions
36:01personal records it doesn't sound like a crush no he was looking for a connection and now
36:07i know to watch fleur and lucy pinnock were housemates same university seemed super close
36:17lucy was using her maiden name so three months ago fleur moves in next door to the man who killed
36:24her best
36:25friend and now he's dead
36:30she was like a sister must have been a shark when she died
36:36it didn't make sense
36:39a robbery nothing really taken and she'd never be caught up in anything dangerous
36:45so what did you do the day before it happened lucy told me she thought a man was following her
36:53it spooked her she she described him his height his build said he had a tattoo a winged horse on
37:03his
37:03forearm i told the police they dropped it but you never forgot and then years later you saw a news
37:12story henry leaving a woman and her dog all of a sudden there he was so you tracked him down
37:20to
37:20saint marie casually moved in next door and then made nice i wanted to understand how someone like
37:26that could keep on living and when you couldn't understand you killed him in case you'd forgotten
37:32inspector i was making lemonade something i was about to offer you but i'm thinking better of it
37:37hang on so you're telling me the man who robbed lucy of her life was on your doorstep and you
37:42did zilch
37:42of course i wanted him to pay to see the shame in his eyes when he realized i knew who
37:48he was
37:49what he'd done but i never got the chance i didn't kill him lucy's husband is out here too
37:58craig's on saint marie bit of a coincidence don't you think you two turning up on the same island
38:05you knew he was here okay um the night before henry died i did see someone on a moped outside
38:16his house
38:17it looked like craig my heart almost stopped i told myself if it was him whatever he was up to
38:27i wanted nothing to do with it and then henry turned up there i gave you the number plate hoping
38:36and praying that i was mistaken and that craig wasn't involved
38:45he's at the center of everything just never where we need him to be respecter you're gonna want to see
38:50this but we just checked the speed camera on fisherman's way and it caught something okay
38:57so this is about six minutes away from the victim's house 10 21 the morning of the murder just wait
39:03for
39:03it boom right there's a guy in a black top on a white moped with the same registration plate as
39:09the
39:09one craig pinnock hired so craig pinnock did it we now know he drove to the victim's house at the
39:15time of
39:15the murder wait why did the street vendor say he was buying coconut water when it happened
39:25okay let's play this out ds thomas you be the victim over there please um officer rose you be craig
39:33just there and sergeant fletcher you be the vendor right uh phone
39:39okay go yes bro just grabbing a coconut water now innit yeah i'll send over them figures soon
39:46definitely not gonna shoot nobody today remind me never to take your undercover
39:53that's it it's simple craig wasn't actually on a call he was pretending like officer rose was just now
40:01he made sure he was seen and heard so that when we asked the vendor we were told the story
40:07craig
40:07wanted us to hear not the truth the vendor never knew the time only that craig was on the phone
40:15confirmation by us exactly the real call was made at 10 30 but from somewhere else craig shot henry
40:22rode a short distance made the call as planned at 10 30. finally his alibi has crumbled
40:31i'm telling you i'm innocent you lied about your alibi and they want us to believe you okay yes
40:39i haven't been telling the truth but come on please you have to give me one more chance 30 seconds
40:46okay um so yes i went to henry's house and i took a gun i was working myself up to
40:53killing him okay i
40:55admit it but but then i heard a gunshot okay and i thought he'd seen me i thought maybe he
40:59was
40:59shooting at me but i didn't stick around to find out i just i i got on the moped and
41:04i and i and i went
41:06look back and this gun you're gone where is it now well i chucked it in the sea look i
41:12can show
41:12you exactly where please you have to believe me it wasn't me
41:25i believe it even though he's repeatedly lied to us throughout this investigation
41:30yep even though he admits to being at the victim's house at the time of the murder with a gun
41:36and a
41:36motive yep so if you think he didn't know it sir then who did having a scooby because it also
41:44can't
41:44be either of these and i'll tell you what's really bugging me about all this the victim's copy of this
41:50book was missing from his bookshelf and he hasn't turned up anywhere during the investigation so where is
41:56it wait you read the whole book in the last few days well i just speed read it so what
42:02was the
42:02story about well basically it's about a guy who tries to make things right and the only way he feels
42:08he can do that is if he well wait a minute because if you look at it that way that
42:20changes the whole
42:21perspective on everything a tale of two cities redemption hope the destructive nature of revenge
42:28do you get the sense henry was trying to atone for his actions they're trying to scare me who was
42:33loan sharks i'd started gambling and i had so much money and they were starting to help me
42:38it's my son real he was diagnosed with hudskins lymphoma so then henry started helping paying for
42:46treatments wouldn't take no for an answer if i have to read a book i usually start at the last
42:51page
42:51first sort of decided endings which would mean you worked it out i have and if i'm right about all
43:00this in a funny way the answer's been there the whole time the book yeah i think i know where
43:07it
43:07might be and that explains everything thanks charlie appreciate it
43:18you
43:19ready boss
43:35second time look here
43:45second time look here
43:56a book
44:01a gun
44:05and a bullet
44:19let's start with this shall we a tale of two cities a story about redemption and sacrifice
44:28and at the back of this book henry ashby left a story of his own the main character in this
44:36story
44:36he dies in the end but he gave up his life to atone for what he'd done for a while
44:43we were looking
44:44for a killer that was never there because henry ashby wasn't murdered he took his own life
44:54henry's final words
44:56a suicide note addressed to you miss edwards written in the back of the book but also a confession
45:04to lucy pinnock's murder
45:06but why would henry take his own life and why now the past caught up with him
45:14girl
45:16you
45:17and you
45:23who murdered lucy after all these years
45:27But you didn't wait for Craig. You came out to St. Marie alone.
45:31You conveniently moved in next door to Henry.
45:35All this to get closer to the man who killed Lucy.
45:38And those drunken threats you aimed at Henry that the gardener witnessed.
45:42Henry hadn't tried it on with you at all, had he?
45:45What was eating away at you was the thought that this man had got away with murdering your best friend.
45:51So you insisted Craig fly to St. Marie?
45:57Henry was on to you, wasn't he?
46:00Something felt different. He seemed off with me, drove in silence.
46:06So you had to strike before he fled the island or did something even worse.
46:12And together you orchestrated your revenge. The plan was simple.
46:17Craig, you would arrive at Henry's place just before 10.30. You both arranged your alibis.
46:24Fleur, you knew Baxter would be at yours for his shift.
46:28And Craig, you arranged a work call that you'd take at 10.30 after you shot Henry.
46:33Then made out that you were buying coconut water at the same time.
46:37But then something unexpected happened, didn't it?
46:40Because Henry worked out what you had in store for him.
46:44Craig, when you sculpted out Henry's the night before his death,
46:47we believe Henry, as a trained killer, was watching you.
46:52Your actions, Craig, tipped Henry off that his time was up.
46:57The past, the guilt, it was all coming back to haunt him.
47:03And as a man who lived in control, he chose the only thing he felt he could still command.
47:09The ending to his own story.
47:14It's not the right way.
47:15But in his mind, it was the only option.
47:18So sometime before 10.30 the following morning, Henry shot himself.
47:26Fleur, you must have been confused.
47:28Had Craig arrived early?
47:30But when you found the body, you also found the book.
47:36And inside it, something you weren't expecting.
47:41The truth in a note left for you.
47:44And once you'd read it, you knew there and then that you couldn't let this die with him.
47:48So you proceeded to stage a crime scene to make it look like Henry had been murdered.
47:54You took his gun.
47:56The one thing he kept for protection given his past.
47:59And you left the doors wide open.
48:01You even scattered mud from the garden.
48:04Before firing a second gunshot at 10.30 from your kitchen,
48:07breaking a plant pot and creating a false time of death.
48:13A second bullet from a second gunshot,
48:16which you recovered from your garden later that morning.
48:20All that was left was to steer us toward the right culprit.
48:24The moped number plate was smooth.
48:26But why go to all that trouble?
48:33Her death haunted me most.
48:37Usually they had it coming, but not her.
48:41You see, that's what's so heartbreaking about it, isn't it, Craig?
48:46Because Lucy was a real victim here.
48:50And it's just as I suspected.
48:52I spent my life following orders.
48:56But this one was the cruelest.
48:58Your friend was an innocent woman.
49:01And you should know the truth.
49:02The hit was commissioned by her own husband.
49:10You see, the order didn't come from faceless loan sharks.
49:15But from you.
49:16You're the reason she's dead.
49:19I'm sorry, you've got this all wrong.
49:21When will you finally stop lying?
49:23You played the grieving husband, seeking revenge,
49:27when all you really wanted was silence.
49:29You hired Henry Ashby, a professional hitman,
49:33to stage a botched armed robbery
49:35so you could cash in your wife's life insurance
49:37and pay off your gambling debts.
49:41I'm sorry.
49:42Fleur.
49:43I assume you held on to these?
49:46The book?
49:48The gun?
49:50As your plan B?
49:51In case your plot to stitch up Craig was exposed?
49:55You framed him for Henry's murder
49:57because you couldn't go to the police
49:59without having to admit you and Craig planned to kill Henry.
50:03So, yeah.
50:06This confession will ensure Craig finally faces the murder charges
50:10for your best friend.
50:12However, I'm afraid your attempt to pervert the course of justice
50:16can't be overlooked.
50:19Craig Pinnock?
50:21I'm arresting you for conspiracies of murder.
50:27She loved you.
50:29And you sentenced her to death.
50:33I hope it haunts you for the rest of your life.
50:55So, as soon as Mervyn arrives, we'll be ready to go.
50:59May I ask?
51:01I'm sure you'll be here, sir.
51:04So, Sarge.
51:05I did some digging
51:07and asking around.
51:10I got you this.
51:14Old Man Baptiste's secret recipe.
51:18As much as anyone could remember.
51:24Thought you might want to taste at home, you know?
51:25I just need to learn how to cook now.
51:29Now this will really burn your eyebrows off your face.
51:35Sorry. Sorry.
51:37Better late than never, Mervyn.
51:39Go and stand beside the Commissioner.
51:45Sorry I'm late, Commissioner.
51:46I had a visitor.
51:48Mrs. Desiree dropped by.
51:51She made me a cake.
51:52Lock in York.
51:54It's a nice cake as well.
51:57And yeah.
51:58I get it.
52:00Look out. Not in.
52:02Right?
52:03Everyone's ready?
