00:00I think that's my mother's house. I've never met her.
00:02Donna passed away. A few months back it was.
00:05It was an accident. A storm came in.
00:08This is Donna, bro. A vaccine!
00:11She was talking about scattering her dad's ashes just on the beach out here.
00:15Well, if that's true, why did she then decide to scatter them out at sea instead?
00:18Has Selwyn told you about what's happening tomorrow?
00:21The person taking over from him arrives.
00:24I wish you the very best for everything you do.
00:26The commissioner gave me the go-ahead to reopen my mom's case.
00:29I've already been down the harbour, putting up posters, asking any new witnesses to come forward.
00:34The thing that really gets me with this, why would anyone want her dead?
01:05THEME FRIEND
01:06I'm here.
01:17You'll catch you, eating in the dark there.
01:22It's not right, is it?
01:41Maybe it's time I let you go.
01:50Well, they're not great, but I reckon we'll be all right.
02:19Let's go.
02:34This is done up brief.
02:36A vaccine. I need your help.
02:39What are your coordinates?
02:41I have no details.
02:43There's no last insight.
02:45I don't know where I am.
02:48Hello?
02:49Hello?
02:51Hello, next?
03:34I don't know where I am.
03:36I don't know where I am.
04:06I reckon it most.
04:09I really want to help him solve it.
04:12It's just, all you know is that she drowned at sea.
04:18There's no weapon.
04:19There's no weapon, no suspect, no apparent motive.
04:26Mm-hmm.
04:29So what exactly are we searching her house for?
04:32You know what?
04:34I'm not entirely sure myself.
04:36But maybe we'll know when we find it.
04:40Mrs. Clementson, we're moving forward with the investigation into Donald's death.
04:44So we might have some more questions.
04:47Oh, sorry.
04:52So you really think that someone might have killed her?
04:58We're working on that basis.
05:00Well, then whatever questions you got, you feel free to ask.
05:05Sarge, I've got the inspector on the line.
05:07He wants to speak with you.
05:08Said you're not answering your phone.
05:10Well, what's the point of voicemail if you're not going to use it?
05:13Sarge, I've got the inspector on the line.
05:15He wants to talk to you.
05:16Said you're not answering the phone.
05:18How is he even doing that?
05:23I'm here, sir.
05:24What do you need?
05:25All right, thanks, Officer Rose.
05:27I've got it.
05:29DS Thomas, I've found something of interest.
05:33You should head back to the station.
05:34OK, well, I'm almost done.
05:37And he's hung up.
05:39You're Inspector Wilson.
05:40He's very...
05:41Yes, he is.
05:45So I was going over my mum's phone records,
05:47and in the last year, this number kept coming up.
05:5117 phone calls, 28 texts.
05:53It was registered to a Roy Palmer.
05:58I recognise him.
06:00He runs and owns the fishing net.
06:02That's the bar we're at last night.
06:04Go figure.
06:04Anyway, I asked for the transcript of their text messages
06:07to be sent over.
06:08And it looks like they were friends.
06:11But it was the last text that Donna sent to Roy
06:14that caught my interest.
06:18Thanks for coming by.
06:19It was good to talk.
06:21That was sent two hours before she drowned,
06:23which tells me he must have visited her earlier that morning.
06:26So he's a possible new witness?
06:28Most definitely, yes.
06:37Yes, Thomas speaking.
06:41Okay.
06:43Thanks for letting me know.
06:46Sarah, that was the lab.
06:48They've got the boat wreckage from storage.
06:50Thought we'd give it a second look.
06:54Are you heading to the harbour?
06:56Yes, I am.
07:01Bye.
07:02Bye.
07:10Bye.
07:13Bye.
07:16Bye.
07:34So get yourself down there for some old school dogs hard by.
07:39Finally, just a word of warning, some bad weather coming in today.
07:44Authorities have put a high-risk warning out overnight, saying there's a category far storm
07:50brewing up just off the East Coast.
07:52So if you had any plans to head out to sea today, authorities are advising against it.
07:59Best thing is to stay inside and stay safe.
08:16Hey, Dawna.
08:18Uh-uh.
08:19Rye, what are you doing here?
08:23I woke up this morning thinking about your dad.
08:26Doesn't get any easier, does it?
08:28It just made me want to come over, check in, see how you're doing.
08:34Come in.
08:35I'll make some ice tea.
08:40So you didn't know we were police when we were in last night?
08:43I make a point of not sticking my nose in my customer's business, Inspector.
08:47Fair enough.
08:48Unless they're talking cricket, in which case you cannot shut me up.
08:51My specialist subject, if I ever go on Mastermind.
08:55Were you a fan at all?
08:56Yeah.
08:57I'm a football man myself.
08:59We were getting on so well!
09:03So, this case we're working on, Dawna Bray, you knew her, right?
09:09Yeah, yeah.
09:11To be honest, it was her dad I was closer with.
09:14He was a regular here.
09:15And it was through him you met Dawna?
09:17Yeah.
09:18When Irvine got ill, dementia, she moved back in with him.
09:23And that was about a year before he passed.
09:26I used to, you know, check in on the old boy pretty regularly.
09:30And then, when we lost him, I just tried to be there for Dawna as well.
09:35It's just that Dawna texted you the day she died.
09:39Said, thanks for coming by.
09:42It was good to talk.
09:43Oh, yeah.
09:43What that was, I popped round earlier that morning.
09:47You know, just to see how she was coping.
09:50And how was she coping?
09:51Well, still missing her dad dreadfully, of course.
09:55We both were.
09:57Still am.
09:59And did she mention to you she was thinking of scattering her dad's ashes that day?
10:04You know, she mentioned that it had been playing on her mind that she hadn't done it yet.
10:08But no more than that, no.
10:11I mean, obviously, if I'd known she was going to do it that day, I would have warned her against
10:16it.
10:17And going out to sea with a storm coming in.
10:20So, she said to you she was going to scatter her dad's ashes at sea?
10:26She must have at some point, I suppose.
10:28Do you remember when?
10:29Not precisely, no.
10:31It's just that we know Dawna applied for a permit to scatter her dad's ashes on a beach.
10:36And that was two weeks before she went to sea.
10:39So, I'm just trying to work out why and at what point she changed her mind.
10:45Yeah, yeah, no, I mean, that does seem strange, yeah.
10:51Actually, now I come to think of it, I think probably maybe it was in that last week that she
10:59mentioned doing it at sea, I think.
11:02Yeah.
11:05OK, well, thank you, Mr Palmer.
11:10If anything else comes to mind, you'll let us know, yeah?
11:13Look, Inspector, if you're treating Dawna's death as suspicious, what exactly do you think's happened?
11:20I mean, she went out to sea in a storm and drowned.
11:25How could that possibly be anything other than a terrible accident?
11:30No, we're working on that.
11:32Thanks again, Mr Palmer.
11:34You've been very helpful.
11:51I just keep putting it off.
11:53It's like the final goodbye.
11:55I don't know if I'm ready for that.
11:57I mean, if it's any consolation at all,
12:00I was exactly the same when my mother passed.
12:04But when I finally did it,
12:07scattered her ashes,
12:08it just felt right, you know?
12:14Like a release.
12:17For her and for me.
12:24Hey.
12:26OK.
12:40Bye-bye.
12:42Bye-bye.
12:49Bye-bye.
12:54Bye-bye.
13:18That's it.
13:21Off you go.
13:27I need your help.
13:29No.
13:30What are your coordinates?
13:32I have no ideas.
13:34There's no mass inside.
13:36I don't know where I am.
13:38Evening, Inspector.
13:40Hello.
13:41Can we check the GPS on Donna's phone?
13:44Verify the call came from where we think it did.
13:46Okay.
13:46You've just come back from the search?
13:48Yeah, but we didn't find anything of relevance to the case, I'm afraid.
13:52But, um, I did find these letters.
13:57Your mum sent them 50 years ago, not long after giving birth to you.
14:02Right.
14:03And I think they're to your father.
14:06Charlie Wilson.
14:09You...
14:09You know him?
14:11I reached out.
14:12Not long before I came here.
14:15And, um...
14:16Yeah.
14:18He didn't want to know.
14:21It doesn't look like he got them, though, because they were sent back.
14:24I assume it was Donna that opened the letters.
14:31I started reading one, but they're personal.
14:35I think they might explain why your mother gave you up.
14:45Well, I'll leave you to it.
14:47Mm-hmm.
14:58Yeah.
15:02I'll leave you to look at this tomorrow.
15:17And it's the fact that Roy Palmer was the last person to speak to my mum before she went out
15:22to see him drown.
15:24I mean, what exactly did he say to her?
15:29Oh, no.
15:30Please, not him.
15:31Good morning.
15:32My two favourite detectives.
15:35D.I.
15:36Wilson and...
15:37D.S.
15:39He's forgotten my name.
15:41Good to see you both.
15:43Definitely forgot my name.
15:45Mr. Fox.
15:47Call Mr. Lynn.
15:49I thought we only had the pleasure of your company every other Wednesday.
15:52I'll be around for a few days while I'm still getting up to speed.
15:55Well, aren't we the lucky ones?
15:56I love that about you Londoners.
15:58Pretend you being out grumpy when you're not.
16:00Cracks me up.
16:02You know what?
16:02We should get a drink sometime, the two of us.
16:04Shoot that breeze kind of thing.
16:06Oh, that would be nice for you, sir.
16:08You'd like that, wouldn't you?
16:11Well, I'm not...
16:12Don't worry.
16:13I'll email my secretary right now.
16:15It's something in the diary.
16:17So, uh, you were looking for something?
16:19I dropped by to pick up some case files.
16:22I'm reviewing all current and ongoing investigations.
16:25Officer Curtis kindly obliged.
16:27Anyway, I'll get out of your...
16:30Hair.
16:33Good to see you, Inspector.
16:35Yeah.
16:36You're doing it again?
16:37The whole London thing?
16:40Excuse me, man.
16:49I cannot believe they got rid of the commissioner for...
16:52That ninny.
16:57Morning, team.
16:59Morning, sir.
16:59Morning.
17:01How are we doing here?
17:03Well, we started doing background on Roy Palmer.
17:07He moved to St Marie five years ago and bought the bar.
17:10Now, I reckon he needed to leave his life in the UK.
17:13He had just been made redundant, recently divorced,
17:17and was also done for drunk driving.
17:20I wouldn't say he's exactly made a go of it financially
17:23since he got here.
17:25Check show...
17:26Just a sec, sorry.
17:27Officer Rose, what are you doing?
17:30Oh, I saw something online.
17:32He said if there's something you don't want to forget,
17:35pretend you're holding a donut.
17:37To remind you there's something you need to remember.
17:40It's called the donut technique.
17:44Okay.
17:46Financial checks show that Mr Palmer
17:49has been overstretched on his mortgage
17:51and his business isn't bringing in enough
17:54to cover his outgoings.
17:55Okay, interesting.
17:58All right, Officer Rose, donut time?
18:01Oh!
18:02Cha-cha!
18:03All right.
18:04So, the passport records show that
18:07Roy Palmer has been to the island once before,
18:09but, like, ages ago.
18:11When, exactly?
18:12April 1974.
18:15He would have been 16 at the time.
18:18Stayed at the Palm Royal Hotel with his parents.
18:20April 74.
18:25That was nine months before I was born.
18:29You're...
18:30You're not saying Roy Palmer might be...
18:33I'm not.
18:34I know who my father is, and he's not Roy Palmer.
18:38But it was a coincidence.
18:39Well, I asked immigration people to check out your mother,
18:42and she was definitely on the island April 1974.
18:46Then your father must have been here, too.
18:50So, my mother, my father, and Roy Palmer
18:54were here on St. Marie at the exact same time
18:57around 50 years ago.
19:01Thanks for coming in, Mr. Palmer.
19:04So, we know that Dawna Bray had a relationship
19:07with a teenage lad over 50 years ago.
19:10He was staying here with his family
19:11at the Palm Royal Hotel.
19:14Well, as were you at the exact same time.
19:16Wow.
19:17That is some serious digging you've been doing.
19:20Well, the first thing to say is
19:21it was a very long time ago,
19:23so the memory's a bit hazy,
19:25but yes, you're right.
19:26I did make friends with another lad
19:28who was staying at the Palm Royal.
19:30Charlie, his name was.
19:31We'd spend our days at the beach,
19:33you know, swimming,
19:35lazing about,
19:36and there was a bar we hung out at
19:39called the Flying Fish.
19:42A young local girl worked there.
19:45Dawna.
19:46Oh, right.
19:47Right, so she worked there back then.
19:49Hmm.
19:50Well, is that relevant?
19:52It's just that we know
19:53it's a place she used to go to more recently.
19:56Something she liked, you know?
19:58I guess she had fond memories of the place.
20:02Anyway, she and Charlie
20:04just kind of hit it off.
20:07She started hanging out with us
20:09when she wasn't working,
20:11and they had what I guess you'd call
20:13a kind of holiday romance.
20:17I mean, it was more than that.
20:20More?
20:21No, I think they fell in love.
20:23They had a couple of weeks together,
20:25saw each other every day,
20:27and then when it came time for Charlie to go home,
20:30they had a very tearful goodbye.
20:33OK, so fast forward 50 years.
20:37Why'd you come back here?
20:40I was having a tough time living back in the UK,
20:44and I had some redundancy money,
20:46and I read about a bar,
20:48the fishing net being up for sale,
20:49and...
20:51I don't know.
20:53After all these years,
20:54it just felt right coming back to the island.
20:56And it was just chance,
20:57you buy a bar where
20:59Donna's father happened to drink.
21:01That's exactly what it was.
21:03And eventually you put two and two together?
21:06I knew that Irvine had a daughter,
21:08but I didn't know her name,
21:10and I never met her
21:11because she lived on another island.
21:12But then,
21:14when she came back to care for him...
21:19It's a small world, isn't it?
21:22Out of curiosity,
21:25the day Dorner Bray drowned,
21:27where were you when the storm hit?
21:29I was at the fishing net.
21:31With regulars?
21:33We holed up there.
21:34During the bad weather, aren't...
21:36I'll give you their details.
21:40All right, thank you for your help.
21:43Inspector?
21:45Dalton Lee and Nathan Armstrong
21:48both confirmed that they were with Roy Palmer
21:51at his bar the entirety of this storm.
21:55But, interestingly,
21:56they said they'd already given a statement.
21:59I, uh...
22:00I recognise their names
22:01from the coroner's report.
22:02They were waiting at the bar
22:04for Roy to open up
22:05when they saw Dorner heading out to sea.
22:08They called out to warn her about bad weather,
22:10but she didn't hear.
22:12Roy arrived shortly after and opened up.
22:15It still comes back to Roy Palmer again.
22:19Something not right about it.
22:21About him.
22:22About all of it.
22:35But I have no idea
22:36how he managed to kill a woman
22:37who seemingly ventured out to sea by herself
22:40in the middle of a storm and drowned.
22:44Excuse me.
22:47All right, donut boy?
22:48What have you got?
22:50Totally forgot about that.
22:51Boy.
22:53So, in April 1974,
22:57while Roy Palmer was on holiday with his family,
23:00Palm Royal Hotel reported a theft.
23:03One of their guests had a very expensive ring stolen.
23:07No, it was never recovered.
23:08The perpetrator was never arrested.
23:11And it was insured for $80,000.
23:16I'm sure it's worth a lot more now.
23:22I've seen this ring before.
23:24To you, Dorner.
23:26Mom.
23:29Dears, Thomas, you're with me.
23:31Officer Rose,
23:31I want you to go back to Dorner Bray's house,
23:33check all the photographs of her
23:35to see if she's weighing that ring in any of them.
23:37All right.
23:48It's the same one.
23:50Same shape, same stone.
23:55Sir, talk to me.
23:57I've got some photos of Donna.
23:59She looks about 18 in a couple.
24:02And then someone, she's a bit older.
24:05Early 30s, maybe.
24:08And she's wearing that ring in all of them.
24:14So, what are you thinking, sir?
24:16I'm thinking, where's the ring now?
24:20Because it wasn't on her hand when she was pulled out of the sea.
24:26So, where is it?
24:27You think Roy Palmer might have it?
24:31Yes.
24:32Oh, he's back again.
24:42Afternoon.
24:44Officer Curtis said I find you here.
24:46How can we help you?
24:48The Donna Bray case.
24:50You're reading the file.
24:52She's your mother, right?
24:53Yeah, that's right.
24:55So, firstly, my condolences.
24:57Truly, I am sorry for your loss.
25:01But, secondly, and I'm sorry to do this to you, I've spoken with the Chief Commissioner, and we need to
25:07close it down.
25:10Sorry, what?
25:11The case.
25:12We need to close it down.
25:13Why?
25:14Well, as far as the Chief Commissioner and I can see, it's costing us time and resources.
25:20And there's not a single piece of physical evidence to suggest this is anything other than an accident.
25:25Well, no, not yet there isn't, but we're still waiting for results to come back.
25:28No, no, no.
25:29You're not?
25:30I dropped by at the lab.
25:32The phone call your mother made.
25:33I need help.
25:35No.
25:36They've confirmed it wasn't a fake.
25:37The phone company checked GPS tracking, and it was indeed made two miles out at sea just before she drowned.
25:45Well, I get this case matters to you, D.I. Wilson, but I think your personal connection with it is
25:51clouding your judgment.
25:52To be honest, we're surprised Commissioner Patterson ever gave you to go ahead on it.
25:57You can't do this.
25:58Well, you see, you sort of can.
26:04But you don't understand what we're doing here.
26:06Look, the Chief Commissioner has spoken, and there's no coming back on that.
26:12So if you've got a problem with it, you've got a week left on your contract here.
26:16You can call it a day right now, get you back on that plane to London real quick.
26:20Hmm?
26:23Hmm.
26:27Enjoy your eight weeks.
26:33Inspector.
26:35I can't believe he's done this.
26:37I knew no good would come of them replacing Selwyn.
26:40Just two days he's been in charge, and look what's happened.
26:43He's not got a clue what he's doing.
26:45Yeah, I mean, I know I've made some mistakes, and I've still got a lot to learn.
26:50But this guy?
26:51Real idiot.
26:53Hmm.
26:54And what about Mervyn?
26:56How is he?
26:58He's not said much.
27:00Went off on his own, which is not unusual, but...
27:04I think he's feeling pretty crushed.
27:13The phone call your mother made?
27:15We've confirmed it was in a fake.
27:21This is Donald Trump.
27:24I've asked him.
27:26I need help.
27:27No.
27:28Please.
27:29Oh, they're broken.
27:31I don't...
27:32I don't have no idea.
27:34There's Donald this side.
27:37I don't know where I am.
27:40Hello?
27:41Hello?
27:48No.
27:50No.
27:54Help me.
27:57Help me.
28:01Help me.
28:02Help me.
28:16I don't know how you think I can help her.
28:19You must be able to do something.
28:21But what?
28:23I no longer have any SWE.
28:25You're still the commissioner of police, though, for a few more days.
28:29Yes, but if Sterling Fox has the chief commissioner's ear,
28:33then I'm as good as outranked.
28:35Even if others still need you?
28:37People have to get used to not relying on me like they did.
28:41Fifty years of service to this island,
28:43and now you can just walk away?
28:46Not care anymore?
28:48Maybe that's what I need to do.
28:51Maybe that's how I get through this.
28:54By not giving a damn.
28:59Is that really how you want this all to end?
29:02By turning your back on everything you used to stand for?
29:12I think you should go now.
29:16There is nothing further for us that is cause.
29:28Selwyn.
29:30Mervyn came to St. Mary looking for answers.
29:33If he has to leave without finding them,
29:37then this island has let him down.
29:40Let's go.
30:17Yes, sir. Do you want to tell us what's going on?
30:20I'm here to get the case reopened.
30:27How?
30:31Let's just say I have a plan.
30:36Sir, I'm in.
30:38Good morning.
30:39Good morning. What a beautiful day, right?
30:43You got your uniform on.
30:46You having a leaving party or something?
30:47We're here, Mr. Fox, because I'm going to arrest you.
30:53You going to what?
30:54For the damage you caused my car.
30:58Did he just say he was going to arrest him?
30:59This is a joke, right?
31:00No, I think he did.
31:02You're joking?
31:02Sterling Fox, I'm arresting you for criminal damage.
31:07You do not have to say anything.
31:10No, I'm joking.
31:11Is this actually happening or am I dreaming right now?
31:17You know, honey, it's really happening.
31:22Officer Rose, handcuffs, please.
31:26Take Mr. Fox to the cells.
31:29They stay on me live.
31:32Say, Owen, you're making a big mistake right now.
31:36The Chief Commissioner's not going to be happy.
31:38Stop.
31:40No.
31:41You can't do this.
31:44I can.
31:46And I have.
31:48And if you do not let Officer Rose put the cuffs on you,
31:53I'll also charge you with resisting arrest.
31:59This is crazy.
32:01You're crazy.
32:03You're crazy.
32:07You're crazy.
32:09I can probably spin this out for the rest of the day.
32:13So you have until then to solve the donor break case.
32:17So that was your plan?
32:18Arrest the new boss, then put him behind bars?
32:21You have a better one.
32:24No, sir, I don't.
32:34This island.
32:37Let me out of here.
32:38Please.
32:39Can we not just talk about this?
32:41All in good time, Mr. Fox.
32:44But you'll have to wait while I gather evidence from the crime scene,
32:48which may take some time.
32:50The crime scene's part right outside.
32:53How long can it take?
32:55It's been a while since I've been so hands-on.
32:58I have a feeling I may be a bit lost.
33:02You're killing me in here.
33:06Inspector, if you tell me what it is,
33:09first things first.
33:12A nice cup of coffee.
33:19And maybe a biscuit, too.
33:32Inspector, if you tell me what it is you're looking for,
33:35perhaps we could speed things up a bit?
33:37No, we're good as we are, thanks.
33:41Is that your boat?
33:43Yeah.
33:44You know, I hadn't realised at first.
33:47Same surnames.
33:49Inspector Wilson.
33:51Charlie Wilson.
33:52And then I mentioned to a couple of my customers
33:55that you were asking after Dorna,
33:57and they filled me in.
33:58Your point?
33:59Oh, no point.
34:00I'm just saying.
34:02I didn't know Dorna was your mother.
34:06Five years sober.
34:08Hmm.
34:10That's another reason for my moving here.
34:13Things have got a little bit out of control.
34:15I needed to sort myself out.
34:21You know, I can't imagine how hard it must have been
34:24having never known your mother
34:26to come all this way
34:29and find out she'd
34:31passed on.
34:36She never mentioned you, you know,
34:39in the time I got to know her.
34:41Didn't even tell me that she and Charlie had a baby.
34:45Maybe she chose to
34:47put all that behind her.
34:50Out of sight,
34:51out of mind.
34:53Why are you telling me this?
34:55No reason.
34:56I just thought you might want to know.
35:00Sir.
35:02I've got something.
35:08This is interesting, Mr Palmer.
35:10An email exchange with a jeweller's in the US.
35:13Requesting a valuation on a ring
35:15that was previously
35:16in Dorna Bray's possession.
35:18Two million dollars.
35:19Can you explain?
35:20Very happy to.
35:21Dorna and I were reminiscing.
35:23She was talking about Charlie
35:25and she showed me the ring he gave her.
35:27A promise ring.
35:29Just before he went back to England.
35:31Go on.
35:32Well, it took me a moment
35:33but I was looking at it
35:34and I thought,
35:35how on earth
35:36does a teenage Charlie Wilson
35:39afford a piece of jewellery like that?
35:41Then it came back to me.
35:44There had been a theft reported
35:46at the hotel we were staying at.
35:48A rather valuable ring.
35:50I realised.
35:52That was it.
35:54So why did you request a valuation?
35:56Because Dorna wouldn't believe me
35:58when I told her it was valuable.
36:00So you discussed it with her?
36:01The fact that this was stolen?
36:03Yeah, and I told her
36:04she should hand it over to the police
36:06so that it could be returned
36:07to the woman who owned it.
36:10What did she say?
36:12She refused.
36:13She said it was hers
36:14and she was going to keep it.
36:17I don't believe you.
36:20Well, you wouldn't, would you?
36:22Dorna was your mother.
36:23Of course you want to think
36:24the best of her.
36:26But, and I say this
36:28with the utmost sympathy, Inspector.
36:31You didn't know her.
36:34You never even met her.
36:43And where's the ring now?
36:44Because it's not at Dorna's house
36:46and it wasn't found on her body.
36:48Ah, so, this is the reason
36:52you've been turning my villa upside down, huh?
36:55Do you think I have it?
36:56If you told me what it was
36:58you were looking for,
36:59we could have saved a whole load of time.
37:02Because it's not here.
37:04And I don't know where it is.
37:07Honestly, I don't.
37:12But that's about all.
37:14We'd say hello to each other,
37:16but no more.
37:18How are you getting on?
37:20I'm afraid Miss Clementson
37:22can't help as much.
37:23She recognises Roy from the photo,
37:25but never had much to do with him.
37:27He was friends with Dorna's father,
37:29but that's all that I knew.
37:32Never really took to him,
37:33if I'm honest with you, Inspector.
37:35You and me both.
37:37All right, well,
37:38it was worth the ask.
37:39Thank you, Miss Clementson.
37:45Seb's finished searching
37:46Roy Palmer's bar
37:47and the ring isn't there either.
37:49So if he's got it,
37:50he's hidden it.
37:52Come on!
37:54Sorry, sorry.
37:55It's not you.
37:56It's just...
37:57We're so close to solving this.
37:59We know who did it.
38:00We think we know why.
38:02I just can't figure out
38:03how Roy Palmer
38:04made Dorna travel out to sea
38:06when she knew
38:08there was a storm coming.
38:12I don't know.
38:15I feel like I'm blocked.
38:17I can't join the dots.
38:19Something's holding me back.
38:20Like what, Inspector?
38:24I think...
38:27I think there's something
38:28I should have done
38:28but I haven't.
38:32Just bear with me, yeah?
38:45Inspector.
38:49Everything all right?
38:50I don't know.
38:52Not really.
38:57There's these letters
38:59my mum sent to my dad
39:02years ago now.
39:05I think there's answers
39:07in here about stuff.
39:10I just can't
39:12bring myself to...
39:14Maybe he...
39:16I could
39:17for you.
39:24Come.
39:30So...
39:31How would you like
39:33to do this?
39:35Um...
39:38Just give me the headlines
39:40to start with.
39:43The letters were written
39:44just after you were born.
39:46They were sent
39:47from St. Marie
39:49and your mother
39:50talks about
39:51being back here
39:52after some time
39:54in London
39:54with Charlie
39:56and his parents
39:58when
39:59you were born.
40:02Right.
40:05She seemed
40:07to have cared
40:08for your father
40:09a lot
40:09but, um...
40:11His parents
40:11weren't happy
40:12with the situation
40:13that he got
40:14a girl pregnant
40:15when they were
40:16both still
40:16so young.
40:20It was them
40:22who insisted
40:23that she
40:24and Charlie
40:25give the baby up.
40:30it wasn't
40:31her decision.
40:32I don't
40:34believe so.
40:36Yeah.
40:38She says
40:41I know
40:42they are just
40:43looking out
40:44for you
40:44and think
40:46they are doing
40:47the right thing
40:49but it hurts
40:50and it's not
40:52what I
40:52wanted.
40:55I'm never
40:56going to be
40:56the same person
40:57I was
41:00after this.
41:05it's broken
41:06me.
41:09Also
41:10I think
41:11you should
41:12hear this.
41:14She mentions
41:15the ring
41:15you told me
41:17about
41:18but she
41:19says
41:20I have
41:21not taken
41:22it off
41:23since I
41:24got back
41:24here
41:26and I'm
41:27never
41:27going
41:28to.
41:29I'm
41:30always
41:31going
41:31to wear
41:32it
41:32and
41:33whenever
41:33I look
41:34at it
41:35I'm
41:36always
41:36going
41:36to think
41:37of
41:38our
41:39little
41:39boy.
41:48I don't
41:49think
41:49she ever
41:50forgot you.
41:52I
41:54need a
41:55minute.
42:22I
42:23never
42:23want to
42:24be the
42:24same
42:24person
42:25I
42:25was
42:26after
42:26this.
42:27She
42:28said
42:28she
42:28wasn't
42:28the
42:29same
42:29person.
42:33She
42:34couldn't
42:34be.
42:34She
42:34wouldn't
42:35be.
42:38And
42:38if
42:39she
42:39wasn't
42:40then
42:43every
42:43part of
42:44this
42:44changes.
42:45We
42:45know
42:45Dorna
42:45applied
42:46for a
42:47permit
42:47to
42:47scatter
42:48her
42:48dad's
42:48ashes
42:48on
42:49a
42:49beach.
42:50Come
42:50on
42:50Mervyn.
42:51They
42:51were
42:51waiting
42:51at
42:52the
42:52bar
42:52for
42:52Roy
42:52to
42:52open
42:53up
42:53when
42:53they
42:53saw
42:54Dorna
42:54heading
42:54out
42:55to
42:55see.
42:55Where's
42:56the
42:56connection?
42:57Where's
42:57the ring
42:58now?
42:58It's
42:58not
42:58here.
42:59I
42:59don't
43:00know
43:00where
43:00it
43:00is.
43:01Where?
43:02He's
43:02got it.
43:03He's
43:04hidden
43:04it.
43:05The
43:05harbour.
43:07No,
43:07no,
43:07that's
43:08too
43:08obvious.
43:09Too
43:09many
43:10people
43:10would
43:10know.
43:11Somewhere
43:12else.
43:13Five
43:13years
43:13sober.
43:14That's
43:14another
43:15reason
43:15for my
43:16moving
43:16here.
43:17Things
43:17have
43:17got a
43:17little
43:17bit
43:18out
43:18of
43:18control.
43:19That's
43:20where.
43:23Sir,
43:24you
43:25wouldn't
43:25have
43:25to
43:25know
43:25where
43:26the
43:26local
43:26AA
43:27meetings
43:27take
43:27place.
43:28As
43:28it
43:28happens,
43:29I
43:29do.
43:30My
43:30local
43:31church
43:31hosts
43:32men.
43:33Of course!
43:35We're going to need to get Roy Palmer to the station.
43:39You solved it?
43:41Yeah.
43:44Yes,
43:45I have.
43:46And with the help of your mother, by the sounds of it.
43:59Look, I've had enough of this. I'm calling the chief commissioner.
44:04No, Sterling.
44:05It's Mr. Fox. Actually, no, if you please.
44:07You're going to sit down there and watch what's about to happen. No ifs, no what.
44:26They're just in here, Mr. Palmer.
44:31Quite the crowd that's gathered.
44:33This is Commissioner Putterson.
44:36Must be important if you're bringing the big guns out.
44:40Oh, it is, Mr. Palmer.
44:42Trust me.
44:43It is very important.
44:46Because I'm about to arrest you for the murder of Dawn of Bray.
44:51Right.
44:53Well,
44:55I'm curious to know
44:57how you reached that conclusion.
44:59Take a seat.
45:01We'll get started.
45:11Now,
45:12working out
45:13the motive
45:14in this case,
45:16why you
45:17committed murder,
45:19wasn't that difficult.
45:21You needed the money.
45:23You're in debt.
45:24And it was growing by the minute.
45:26But then,
45:28Dawn of Bray
45:29came back into your life.
45:31After
45:3250 years.
45:33With a $2 million ring on her finger.
45:36Just waiting for you to get your hands on it.
45:40But that was a problem.
45:42Because Dawn of Bray
45:43hadn't taken that ring off her finger
45:44since it was given to her.
45:46All those years ago.
45:48So it's not like you could just
45:49stage a burglary
45:51and take it.
45:52No.
45:54If you were going to get hold of that ring
45:56and sell it,
45:58you decided you were going to have to
46:01kill her.
46:08But
46:10you knew you had to be clever
46:12if you were going to get away with it.
46:14You decided
46:15if you were going to commit murder,
46:18you wanted it to look
46:19like an accident.
46:21And with Dorna
46:22mentioning to you
46:23that she needed to scatter
46:24her father's ashes,
46:25that's when your plan
46:26started to take shape.
46:28To make it look like
46:30she died at sea
46:31in a storm.
46:32So how to pull it off?
46:34How do you make it look like
46:35this woman
46:36travelled out to sea
46:37alone
46:38only to drown
46:39when bad weather hit?
46:40Well, I'll admit
46:42that is a question
46:43that had me
46:44well and truly baffled
46:46all these weeks.
46:47But today,
46:49finally,
46:50I realised
46:54you weren't acting alone
46:56when you murdered
46:57Dorna Bray,
46:58were you?
47:00You had someone
47:01helping you.
47:05So,
47:06who was it?
47:12Officer Curtis?
47:14Sarah?
47:16I found the ring.
47:17She had it.
47:19You see,
47:21what I've learnt about you,
47:22Roy,
47:23is that your life
47:24is lived,
47:25mostly,
47:25around that harbour.
47:27Your bar,
47:29your friends
47:29you go fishing with.
47:31So if you were going
47:32to get away
47:33with that murder,
47:36your accomplice
47:37needed to be someone
47:38who wasn't part
47:39of that world,
47:40someone who wouldn't
47:41be recognised
47:41down there.
47:42And the only thing
47:43in your life
47:44I've come across
47:45that isn't connected
47:47to that harbour,
47:50your weekly
47:51AA meetings.
47:53Which happened
47:54to take place
47:55at the same church
47:57Brianna Clemetson
47:58attends
47:59and helps out at.
48:00You probably
48:01don't remember me
48:02but we've crossed
48:03out of church
48:03a couple of times.
48:04Yes, of course.
48:06And having spoken
48:06to the pastor there,
48:07he told us
48:08he'd seen you
48:09and Brianna together,
48:10that you two
48:11got close
48:12over the last year.
48:13He said,
48:14Brianna always
48:15seemed lonely,
48:17sad,
48:17struggling to find
48:18some meaning
48:20in life.
48:21I thought
48:22it would bring me
48:23some happiness
48:24with the money
48:26we'd get.
48:27He said
48:28it would help me
48:29find a life
48:30for myself.
48:32And you realised
48:33you could take
48:34advantage of that.
48:35I got nothing.
48:37No friends,
48:39family.
48:40But all I wanted
48:42was a life.
48:45Money can give you that.
48:48I'm not sure
48:49I can, honey.
48:51Miss Clementson,
48:53I'm going to have
48:54to arrest you now
48:54and then take you
48:56to the station.
48:58So we have
48:59the who,
49:00we have the why,
49:02all that's left
49:03is the how.
49:04On the morning
49:05of Donna Bray's death,
49:07you went to visit her,
49:09knowing that
49:10that particular morning
49:11there was going
49:12to be a massive storm.
49:14Bri?
49:14Hey, Donna.
49:16And two things
49:16occurred when you
49:17got there.
49:18Firstly,
49:19you convinced her
49:21to scatter her
49:21father's ashes
49:22that same day.
49:24It just felt
49:25right,
49:26you know?
49:27And secondly,
49:28we think you slipped
49:29Donna's sedative.
49:31FYI,
49:32the lab still have
49:33a sample
49:34of Donna's hair
49:35from the original
49:36post-mortem.
49:37It's being tested
49:38as we speak
49:38and any trace
49:40of sedative
49:41in her system
49:41will show up.
49:42So I'm going
49:43to preemptively
49:44call that
49:46Exhibit A.
49:47Now,
49:47we know
49:48Donna checked
49:49the weather
49:50that morning
49:50and we know
49:52she was intending
49:52to scatter the ashes
49:53on the beach,
49:55which is why
49:56she set out,
49:57knowing if she went
49:58earlier in the morning
49:58she'd miss
49:59the bad weather.
50:00But what she didn't know
50:01was that you were
50:03following her,
50:04Mr. Palmer,
50:04and that soon
50:05she'd need to pull over
50:06feeling drowsy.
50:08We think you then
50:09drove a now
50:10unconscious Donna
50:11back to her house
50:13where behind the
50:13closed gate
50:14on the drive,
50:16Brianna Clemetson
50:17changed into
50:18Donna's clothes.
50:19You recovered
50:20your own car,
50:21drove back to
50:21Donna's house
50:22so you could
50:22place her body
50:23into it.
50:24You then drove
50:25to a quiet section
50:26of the beach
50:26where your boat
50:27was already moored.
50:28You took her out
50:29to sea
50:29where the storm
50:30was heading
50:31and left her there
50:33before returning
50:34to shore
50:35in a dinghy.
50:38Once you got
50:40back to shore,
50:41Ms. Clemetson
50:42drove to the
50:43harbour in
50:43Dorna's car
50:44where she proceeded
50:45to take the ashes
50:47and get into
50:48Irvingbury's
50:49fishing boat.
50:50The harbour was
50:51pretty much empty
50:51that day because
50:52of the incoming
50:53storm but you
50:54knew your two
50:55regular customers
50:56would be there
50:57waiting for you
50:58to open up
50:59and would see
51:00a woman carrying
51:01an urn getting
51:02into a boat
51:03and heading out
51:04to sea.
51:05Now Ms. Clemetson
51:06is roughly the
51:07same height
51:08and build as
51:09Dorna but whether
51:10or not the two
51:11witnesses recognised
51:12her as Dorna
51:13doesn't really matter
51:14because when they
51:15recovered her dead
51:16body and brought
51:16it to shore
51:17wearing the same
51:18clothes, they'd
51:19just assume it
51:20was the same
51:20person.
51:21Having headed
51:22out to see
51:22where you left
51:23your boat,
51:24Mr. Palmer,
51:25Brianna then
51:26removed the
51:27clothes she was
51:27wearing and put
51:29them back on
51:29Dorna.
51:30Once she'd
51:31done this,
51:32she moved
51:33Dorna's body
51:33into Irvin's
51:35fishing boat
51:36and then returned
51:37to shore in
51:38your boat,
51:39leaving Dorna
51:40Bray unconscious
51:41in her father's
51:43fishing boat
51:43with a storm
51:44about to hit.
51:46You both knew
51:48it was a
51:48Category 4 storm.
51:50That Dorna,
51:51now unconscious
51:52in that little
51:52boat, had no
51:53chance of surviving.
51:56But something
51:57went wrong
51:57with your plan.
51:58The sedative
51:59wore off
52:00and Dorna
52:01regained
52:01consciousness.
52:09She had a
52:10mobile phone
52:11in her
52:11handbag
52:12and she
52:13called the
52:13harbormaster.
52:14I need help.
52:15Fortunately for you,
52:16the signal was
52:17poor and the line
52:18cut out before
52:19anything incriminating
52:20was set.
52:21Hello?
52:23Now, I don't
52:24know exactly what
52:25happened out there
52:26that day.
52:27Mom!
52:28Only the
52:29dawn of Bray
52:30My mother
52:39Didn't come back
52:40alive.
53:02I had to tell them.
53:15Sam.
53:24Exhibit B.
53:28I assume the
53:28reason you
53:29haven't sold
53:29this shit
53:30is because
53:30you're waiting
53:30for the
53:31right price.
53:33It wasn't
53:34going to be
53:34easy to find
53:34the buyer
53:35for a piece
53:35as rare
53:36as this.
53:41Stand.
53:49Look.
53:52For what it's
53:53worth, I am
53:56sorry.
53:58It was never
53:59personal.
54:02Maybe not.
54:04But this is.
54:09Roy Palmer.
54:12I'm arresting you
54:13on suspicion of
54:14the murder of
54:14Dawn of Bray.
54:17You do not
54:17have to say
54:18anything.
54:19But it may
54:20harm your
54:20defense if you
54:21do not mention
54:22when questioned
54:22something you
54:23later rely on
54:24in court.
54:26Anything you
54:27do say may
54:27be given
54:28in evidence.
54:51Look, I'm glad
54:52you caught
54:53the guy
54:53that killed
54:53your mother.
54:54But that
54:55does not
54:55excuse
54:56what went
54:56on today.
54:57So when I
54:58get back
54:58to Jamaica
54:59I'm going
54:59to make
54:59the chief
55:00commissioner
55:00fully aware.
55:02Well,
55:03with respect
55:04Mr. Fox
55:06I'd like to
55:06point out
55:07that if we
55:07did things
55:07your way
55:08a man
55:08guilty of
55:09murder
55:09would be
55:09walking
55:10free
55:10right
55:10now.
55:11Which I'm
55:11sure the
55:12chief
55:12commissioner
55:12would be
55:12very
55:13interested
55:13to hear.
55:14Listen to me
55:15we don't
55:15have to be
55:15like that
55:16about it.

55:17what would
55:17fix this
55:18Sterling

55:20go back
55:20to Jamaica
55:20you tell
55:21your boss
55:22that to
55:22avoid any
55:23more mistakes

55:34will let
55:34you know.

55:48need to
55:48do that.
