00:14Clap your hands
00:16Jump for joy
00:20Clap your hands
00:22Shout for joy
00:31Lord, I know the coming days are going to be hard for me.
00:35Yasmin, we've got two less for lunch.
00:37Give me the strength to face them.
00:40And Winston, well, Winston's not feeling...
00:43You're by my side.
00:44I still made as much green fig salad as usual.
00:47Always gets eaten.
00:48Oh, Sylvie sweetheart, I'm so sorry.
00:52We didn't disturb you, did we?
00:54No, just saying a quick prayer.
00:56Oh, please don't tell me you've got the whole church ready on your own.
00:59I don't mind. I enjoy it.
01:01But I told him to be here to help.
01:15So, I think I know what you're going to say.
01:18Despite me specifically asking you...
01:20To arrive early and help Mrs. Godwin with the church.
01:23Oh, I'm sorry. I promise it will never happen again.
01:27It will.
01:27I mean, yes. It's very probable.
01:29So, are you going to make it to the service?
01:37Um...
01:37Well, I will try my best.
01:41Cha-cha.
01:42I will try my best.
01:54Good.
01:56So, are you going to do it.
02:11I'm gonna put on my love, my road
02:14Down by the riverside
02:17Down by the riverside
02:19Down by the riverside
02:22I'm gonna put on my love, my road
02:24Down by the riverside
02:27Down by the riverside
02:30I ain't gonna study one of my sins
02:33I say, I'm gonna pray in the morning for you.
02:36Bye.
02:39I'm going to nip home and grab the food.
02:42Is Seb still not here?
02:44You're gonna be okay setting up for lunch?
02:46I'll be fine.
02:48Okay.
02:52Today's collection, Pastor.
02:54I go and finish tidy up in here,
02:56then I'll head over to your place.
02:58I'll see you soon, Sylvie.
03:16Hello?
03:22Hello?
03:24Is somebody there?
03:35Okay, everybody.
03:37Come and sit down.
03:40Oh, that boy has a six cents.
03:42You can't get him to come to church on time,
03:45but dish up some food,
03:46and there he is.
03:47What a feast.
03:48Looks like a time they just right.
03:50Can't wait to dig in.
03:51I'm dead for hungry.
03:53Miss Celie,
03:54mama,
03:56you all good?
03:57Nice to see you, Seb.
03:58Right, come, everybody.
03:59Sit down.
04:02Wait.
04:04Sylvie's not here.
04:05Don't tell me she's still at the church.
04:09Yes, ma'am.
04:10You look good?
04:10Yes, ma'am.
06:35Sounds like a hurricane.
06:37I've never seen anything like it.
06:41DS Thomas, please tell me we've got a new case to deal with, because that was genuinely humiliating.
06:46We have by St. Vincent's church, which is Seb's mother's church.
06:52He was the one that called it in.
06:57See you, Oscar.
07:03The victim named Sylvia Godwin.
07:05She was 85 years old.
07:07God bless her.
07:09I can't believe she's gone just like that.
07:11Did you know her well?
07:13Did you know her well?
07:13Since I was a kid.
07:14She was like an auntie to me, you know?
07:17Sorry, mate.
07:19So, was she alone when it happened?
07:21She stayed behind after service to tidy up.
07:24Looks like she was dusting the cross and lost her footing and pulled it down with her.
07:29Poor woman.
07:30Paramedics reckon she banged her head when she landed, caused an injury to the brain.
07:35And you found their body, Officer Rose?
07:38Mm-hmm.
07:39Me and my mama, Miss Seeley, she's the headmistress at the church primary school down the road.
07:44It's Godwin.
07:46Something isn't right.
07:48It's not adding up.
07:49This whole scene in front of it, it's just not adding up for me.
07:55It's her shoes.
07:57What's wrong with her shoes?
07:58There's nothing wrong with her shoes, per se.
08:00They're nice enough, Sunday best shoes.
08:03Got a bit of a heel on them.
08:05About two inches, I reckon.
08:07The thing is, most people, if they're gonna climb up on a chair to do some dusting,
08:12and they're wearing heels, they're gonna remove them beforehand.
08:15To be more sure-footed.
08:16Safety first and all that.
08:18And at 85 years old, I think Mrs. Godwin here will be even more likely to do that
08:24than anyone younger or more agile.
08:26So, what are you suggesting? That she didn't climb up on the chair?
08:33No, she didn't.
08:35And if she didn't climb up on the chair, she didn't fall from the chair.
08:38And if she didn't fall from the chair, she didn't bang her head from falling.
08:41And if she didn't bang her head from falling, then what did actually happen here?
08:46You think he's suspicious?
08:48I think we've been sold a lie.
08:50What? That's not possible.
08:51Why not?
08:52Because the church was all locked up from the inside.
08:55So nobody could get in or out.
09:00Show me.
09:01So, when we got here, we went to the back entrance.
09:05It's locked.
09:08Flip won't go in.
09:11The key's in on the other side.
09:14So, we came round to the front entrance.
09:16Into the same situation.
09:18Let me see.
09:20There's a key in here too.
09:22So, I had to bust the door open.
09:27See?
09:28Whose key's that?
09:30Mrs. Godwin's.
09:31She usually locks the door and she's tidying up so nobody bothers her.
09:34Show me the back door.
09:40Is this also the victim's key?
09:42No.
09:43That's from the hook over there, sir.
09:44I don't know how it got in this door.
09:46Could someone have been hiding in here while you were in there?
09:50No way.
09:51As soon as I found her, I saw my phone had no juice.
09:54I came straight in here and called the ambulance.
09:57I'm telling you, both doors were locked on the inside.
09:59If someone killed Mrs. Godwin and staged a crime scene,
10:04then how did they manage to get out?
10:11No.
10:12That just can't be.
10:13There is no reason anybody would want to do that to Sylvie.
10:17She's right.
10:18It's crazy you think it is suspicious.
10:20Well, can you tell us a little more about her?
10:22Did Mrs. Godwin have any family?
10:24Was she married?
10:25Was, but he passed away.
10:26When was it now?
10:27It was 2017.
10:29I officiated the funeral.
10:31I mean, you want to know about Sylvie's life?
10:33It was this church.
10:35This church was her family.
10:38That's the truth.
10:40She had been coming to St. Vincent since before I was born.
10:44She was christened here.
10:45She got married here.
10:46She...
10:48And she never missed a single Sunday service in all of her life.
10:52Pastor, I came straight over.
10:54Thank you for coming, Hector.
10:56Oh.
10:59I called Hector and told him the news.
11:02He was very close to Sylvie.
11:04She was his school teacher many years ago.
11:06Hector Mayes.
11:10Yes.
11:10Dear Wilson.
11:11Yes, Thomas.
11:15So, Mrs. Godwin was a teacher?
11:17St. Vincent Primary School.
11:19I took over from her as headmistress when she retired.
11:23And you kept in touch with her?
11:25Always.
11:26The things she did for me as a kid.
11:28Above and beyond, you know?
11:34In what way?
11:37She kept an eye on me.
11:39Cause my parents didn't.
11:41Sylvie and Walter, her husband.
11:43They never had kids themselves.
11:45Hector met the world to her.
11:47That's why this just can't be true.
11:49That woman had nothing but good in her.
11:56Well, if you think of anything, you let us know, yeah?
11:59Mm.
12:13You can go and rest your feet now.
12:15I'll clear all this up.
12:17You want me to make your herbal tea?
12:19After a day like today, all I want is for you to pour me a rum.
12:23A large one.
12:25All right.
12:25The Christmas rum coming out early this year.
12:27Seb, your inspector.
12:33Is he usually right about this kind of thing?
12:3599.9% of the time.
12:38So someone did murder Sylvie.
12:42But who?
12:43I don't know.
12:45But it couldn't have been anybody at the church, right?
12:47So maybe Sylvie had things going on in her life that we don't know about.
12:55But mum, I promise you, whatever it is, we'll figure it out.
13:00All right.
13:05I know this hasn't played out how we expected, but I had to do what I had to do.
13:11No, I'm not coming back yet.
13:13Not until I got what I came for.
13:31Finish your breakfast.
13:40You're welcome.
13:53Commissioner, you made me jump.
13:55Good morning, Inspector.
13:57Good morning.
13:59This arrived for me in the morning post.
14:04It's from your victim.
14:09Mrs. Godwin saw me on the local news covering the recent police initiative event.
14:15She said she could tell I wanted to put things right.
14:20And that's what she also needed to do, right or wrong.
14:25But she didn't say what that was?
14:27Only that whatever it was, was of a criminal nature and had something to do with St. Vincent's Church.
14:34There is a dark secret that has been buried for too long, and it's time the truth came out.
14:42It was posted on Saturday morning.
14:4724 hours later, she was dead.
14:53Well, this gets more interesting by the minute.
14:55How much is in Mrs. Godwin's bank account?
14:58$2,463,000.
15:03What? You sure about that? Like, seriously?
15:07Seriously.
15:08Well, new primary school headteachers earn so much.
15:11I requested statements that go further back.
15:13All I have is the last five years, and the money was already in the account.
15:17The victim's husband, Walter is it? What did he do for a living?
15:21Mr Walter Godwin. He was a caretaker at the same school that Mrs. Godwin worked at.
15:25I think that's where they first met.
15:27So it's suddenly to be his money?
15:29Do we know anything about her family?
15:31Yeah. Mrs. Godwin told me once her parents were farmers.
15:33They definitely weren't rich.
15:35So she didn't inherit it?
15:37Could the money have something to do with the crime she talks about in this letter?
15:40The one connected to St Vincent's?
15:42Officer Rose, give your mum a call. See if it sparks a memory or something, yeah?
15:46Cool. But all of this is a bit odd. Because it's nothing like Mrs. Godwin.
15:51I mean, two million dollars? That's crazy. She wasn't that kind of person.
15:57Once we're done here, we're gonna go and search Mrs. Godwin's house.
16:00Also, we've emailed everyone on the St Vincent's weekly newsletter
16:04to see if any of the parishioners saw anything suspicious yesterday.
16:07Okay, thank you.
16:10Sir, that was the solicitor handling Sylvie Godwin's will.
16:14It seems Mrs. Godwin has left everything to Hector Moyes.
16:20Wow. So this guy's just become a millionaire?
16:24It appears so, sir.
16:26What do we know about him?
16:28He's a fisherman. Or was.
16:30But he hasn't worked for the last 18 months or so due to an injury out at sea.
16:35So if he's had no income for almost two years, then...
16:39Then two million's gonna come in very handy.
16:47I don't know either. It's not like a craze right now.
16:50Mum, I'll speak to you later. I got to go.
16:52I'll leave you to his inspector.
16:54No worries, Commissioner.
16:55Sir, I just got off the phone to my mother and she has no idea what Sylvie Godwin was talking
17:00about in that letter.
17:01Well, if anything else comes to mind you, let me know, yeah?
17:04Alright.
17:06Where are they going?
17:07To interview Hector Moyes. He's a possible suspect now.
17:11Hector? A suspect?
17:12No.
17:13He's a good guy. He wouldn't kill anybody, let alone Sylvie Godwin. She was like a mother to him.
17:18Well, these are the questions we have to ask. It's what we do without fear or favour, remember?
17:24Hmm.
17:29That used to be my boat.
17:32There.
17:33Spent more time to get on me an hour than anyone else.
17:37And then, some doctor you don't even know, writes a certificate saying you can't do it no more.
17:46Well, how are your finances? Now you're not working.
17:49I'm struggling.
17:50Alright?
17:51No one wants to employ a guy who only knows how to do one thing in his life.
17:56Yeah, but that will change us now, doesn't it?
17:59Excuse me? What?
18:00Mr Moyes, you inherit the bulk of Sylvie Godwin's estate and don't tell us you didn't know.
18:06Her solicitor told us Mrs Godwin informed you when she made the will a few years back.
18:10Yeah, I knew. But she got hardly nothing just her house, which is a few tens of thousands.
18:16You think I'd kill for that?
18:17You're telling us she didn't let you know what was in her will?
18:19No.
18:21Why?
18:24It's more than just her house.
18:252.4 million dollars more.
18:29I'm sorry, what?
18:32Is this a joke?
18:33Funny how things turn out, eh?
18:35I didn't know she had that kind of money. I swear to you, she never mentioned a word to me
18:40about it.
18:41Look, I get it. I get how it looks to you. I need money. Badly, I'm desperate.
18:45But I had no idea Sylvie was loaded like that. So why would I kill her?
18:58I don't know.
18:58Sarge, found some kind of time machine in Mrs Godwin's office.
19:03Oh, it's a computer.
19:07Have you done those yet?
19:09No, not yet.
19:10Okay, you do that and I'll do this.
19:11Cool.
19:17Well, it seems to be working.
19:20So, I noticed your dad wasn't around yesterday. If you don't mind me asking, is he...?
19:26Yeah, he, um...
19:29He passed away.
19:30I'm so sorry.
19:32How old were you?
19:35Eleven.
19:36That's so young.
19:38It must have been hard.
19:41Really hard, you know?
19:43Yeah.
19:45My first lesson in pain.
19:47But seeing my mother rise up every morning after that,
19:52that showed me what true love looks like, you know?
19:56Made us closer.
19:57A team.
19:59You can tell.
20:10The Belchard diptyp?
20:12You know what a diptyp is?
20:14Yeah.
20:15It's, um, used to measure oil in the car.
20:17You know, you dip it in, take it out.
20:19I said diptyp.
20:21You're trying to say dipstick, right?
20:23Diptyp.
20:24A painting or a carving on two panels usually hinge like a book.
20:28Oh, you mean diptyp.
20:30Diptyp?
20:30Yeah, man.
20:31I know about diptyp and them things, yeah?
20:33Well, apparently this Belchard diptyp is rare.
20:36Priceless kind of rare.
20:38Yeah?
20:40Why was Sylvie interested in this?
20:45Let's check her search history.
20:52Why, watch her.
20:53She searched the hell out of it.
20:55This was three days ago.
20:57Friday, the day before she posted that letter to the commissioner.
21:06The Belchard diptyp is a rare French panel painting from the Middle Ages.
21:11Each panel measures 50 by 30 centimeters.
21:14Rare. So it's worth some coinage.
21:16It's worth major coinage.
21:18If anybody could find it, it went missing from France during the Second World War.
21:22And here it is.
21:23It's believed the diptych was taken from a museum in Paris by a young German soldier called Joseph Krauss.
21:30They reckon he brought that same painting over here to the Caribbean.
21:34When the Vichy government sent a new governor to Martigny, Krauss and a couple of other German soldiers accompanied him.
21:41And what happened to it when he came here?
21:44Why?
21:46But Joseph Krauss, he fled the region when the war finished.
21:50And the painting never resurfaced.
21:52And some historians believe that Krauss hid the Belchard diptych on one of the smaller neighboring islands, like Saint Marie.
22:00Right, so our victim was looking into this Belchard diptych and the next day sent a letter to the commissioner
22:08saying she wanted to put right a wrong that took place many years before at Saint Vincent's church.
22:13And 24 hours later, Sylvie was murdered in the church with both doors locked from the inside.
22:19She also had over two million dollars in her bank account and we've no idea how she got that money.
22:25But if she came into possession of this painting, then maybe that could explain why she ended up so rich.
22:35Okay, let's keep digging, yeah?
22:37And DS Thomas, get in touch with the commissioner.
22:40Because if there's any truth in it, this could be a big deal.
22:55Everything alright?
23:00It's just like, first Hector, then Mrs. Godwin.
23:05It's all...
23:06It's all a bit much right now.
23:10Sylvie was all about doing the right thing.
23:13You should have said so.
23:15No, because it's like you said, right?
23:16Without fear or favor.
23:19So it's not right me defending her, is it?
23:21Even if I know it's the truth.
23:24Except if this case is too close to home, it's okay to take a step back.
23:29No, it's cool, Sarge. It's cool.
23:30I really want to help get to the bottom of this.
23:34For Sylvie?
23:35Yeah, sure.
23:36Yeah, good.
23:37Alright, then I'll see you tomorrow morning, yeah?
23:40Alright.
23:41Take care of yourself.
23:47Alright, thanks for letting me know, Mrs. Martin.
23:49You have yourself a good evening.
23:54Sir, that was one of the parishioners from St. Vincent's received the email we sent out asking if anyone saw
24:01anything suspicious yesterday.
24:03Uh-huh.
24:03Says she saw a woman outside the church yesterday morning parked up in a hire car.
24:08Never seen her at St. Vincent's before.
24:10Description?
24:11It was a silver vehicle with logos for Kariba car hire.
24:16The woman looked in her 50s with shoulder-length blonde hair.
24:20Not much of a tan, apparently.
24:22So, with the hire car, maybe not a local?
24:26Yeah, it's me again.
24:28So, who is she?
24:29I'm telling you, the police haven't found it yet.
24:31I watched two officers leaving her house, both of them carrying evidence, and they didn't have it with them.
24:37So, where's it got to?
24:39I know a little of the history of the Belshow diptyque, but how or why that connects to Sylvie Godwin,
24:47I don't know.
24:49But I shall ask her own.
24:52Evening all.
24:53Erm, sorry I'm late.
24:56I had a prior arrangement with a bloke called Barry.
24:59Who, might I ask, is Barry?
25:01It's funny you should ask that.
25:03Well, Barry is a retired expat who's returning to the UK to be with his grandchildren.
25:08So, he's selling off a bunch of stuff online.
25:10So, I got myself this beauty.
25:13And what is that, sir?
25:16This is the answer to Catherine's prayers, not that she knows yet.
25:19What is the answer to my prayers?
25:22Oh, Catherine, well, it's the one thing that's missing from your place.
25:27Hmm.
25:35Oh.
25:37It's a dartboard.
25:38I can see that.
25:40You see, the thing is, Domino's is all well and good, but for a boozer to be a proper boozer...
25:44Pardon, but this is not a boozer.
25:47A pub.
25:48Or a pub.
25:49But whatever this establishment wants to call itself, with this on your wall, it can only enhance the communal vibe.
25:57No, we're not an English-themed sports bar.
26:01It's not going up.
26:03Yeah, but, Catherine...
26:03I said no.
26:05Just imagine...
26:05Mervyn, my final word.
26:07No!
26:09No!
26:20It seems you are now the proud owner of your very own dartboard.
26:36I'll have it much to me right now in the moment, you know?
26:39I know it is, my love.
26:40I know.
26:45Oh.
26:45Whoa!
26:46Mum, what's this?
26:49Seb, sweetheart, this isn't...
26:52Seb, you weren't supposed to...
26:54Good evening, Sebastian.
26:57You all right?
26:58Me?
26:58Are you all right?
26:59What's this?
27:00What's going on?
27:01Because they look like...
27:02Are you...
27:03I...
27:04I...
27:05I guess you could say we've been getting close, the two of us.
27:08Right.
27:09Since when?
27:10Well, um...
27:12Since...
27:13I suppose...
27:14Since, um...
27:16What would you say, Lorette?
27:17How long's it been?
27:18Well, I suppose we could say, um...
27:20It's been...
27:22A year.
27:23A year?
27:25A year, Ma?
27:26And you never once thought to mention it to me.
27:29Hector, I'm so sorry.
27:30Could you...
27:31Could you give us a moment, please?
27:32Actually, I need to be getting home anyway, sir.
27:36Sorry you had to find out like this, Sebastian.
27:39I should have...
27:41We...
27:41Should have too.
27:45Sorry.
27:57I...
27:57I wanted to tell you, but I...
28:00I was too scared.
28:01Of how I'd react.
28:03No.
28:04So then what?
28:07See?
28:08It is cause of that.
28:09No, no, really.
28:10It's not that.
28:11A whole year, Ma.
28:14A whole year, you've been lying to me.
28:18You know...
28:19You know...
28:20In the last 24 hours...
28:22It turns out...
28:24Not one person...
28:26Is who I thought they were.
28:30But I never thought you would be one of them.
28:35I need some air.
28:58I need some air.
29:02That's interesting.
29:04That's interesting.
29:04All right.
29:04Well, thanks.
29:05And also, I wanted to know...
29:07So...
29:08When was...
29:09What the...
29:09Oh...
29:10One second.
29:11Sorry.
29:13Good morning, Inspector.
29:15Sarge.
29:16Sarge.
29:16What's going on, sir?
29:18Well, I went on a walk last night and I ended up here.
29:21So I thought I'd come and start on the case.
29:24Can we...
29:24Oh, yes.
29:25Sure.
29:25Sorry.
29:26Sorry.
29:28Sorry.
29:29Oh.
29:29Sorry.
29:32Yes.
29:33Yes.
29:33Come on.
29:34Yes.
29:34So, I'm just on the phone with Sylvie Godwin's bank manager.
29:38And interestingly, the 2.4 million in her account, she inherited it from her husband Walter Godwin.
29:44The bank manager says she don't know where he got it from or how Walter got so rich.
29:49It was Walter's money.
29:50Yeah.
29:50And unfortunately, the liar who was handling Walter's will is no longer her own.
29:55So, that's all I got.
29:57Why is there a post-it with post-mortem exclamation mark written on it?
30:00Oh.
30:01The post-mortem just came in.
30:02It's here somewhere.
30:03Got it.
30:04Under the takeaway.
30:06I will clear that up for you as soon as possible, Sarge.
30:08Sorry about that.
30:09Why is there a pack of toilet roll on my desk?
30:11That's why I went for the walk in the first place.
30:14My new host mate was that...
30:15Don't forget the toilet roll.
30:17Hey M says the victim became unconscious and died of hypoxia and reckoned she was hit with
30:23something with a sharp edge rather than banging her head on the floor.
30:28You said we're right.
30:29It was murder.
30:30What are all these printouts on the floor, sir?
30:32Oh, that's from Kariba Carhire.
30:35They sent the details of the woman who was seen outside St. Vincent Church the morning of the murder.
30:39Selina Bascombe, 54 years old from the UK Berkshire. Arrived here Friday and is staying at the Golden Bay Hotel.
30:48Yeah, yeah. I think she's just a tourist. There's nothing interesting about her yet.
30:52Well then you didn't look properly, Seb. Because on her passport she uses her maiden name.
30:59Godwin.
31:01As in Sylvie and Walter Godwin.
31:03How did I miss that, sir?
31:05We need to talk to her right away.
31:07I'm talking to Fletcher.
31:10Yeah, sorry about that. Hello.
31:13Hello?
31:14Hello?
31:29Seb, this is cool. You're trying to move the case, right?
31:32But your head is pinging around all over the place.
31:35It's close to chaos in there.
31:37I understand what it looks like, Sarge.
31:39But I've been up all night doing a lot of work.
31:41And I feel like I'm very close to...
31:42I think you should go home.
31:44Okay?
31:45Have a shower.
31:46Get yourself straight.
31:46But, Sarge, I need to finish...
31:48I know.
31:49But you're not helping right now.
31:51We can't work like this.
31:56All right, Sarge.
31:58All well.
32:06Thanks for coming in, Miss Baskin.
32:08Please, take a seat.
32:09Walter Godwin was my grandfather.
32:13He was stationed on St. Marie during the Second World War.
32:16When the war ended, he wrote to my grandmother,
32:21who was pregnant with my father at the time,
32:24saying that he wasn't coming home, that it was over between them.
32:28And he knew she was pregnant?
32:30Yes, except I don't think it was him who wrote that letter.
32:34I think it was someone else.
32:36Um, I found this on the St. Vincent's Church website.
32:41It's the day that Walter Godwin got married to Sylvie.
32:46Well, that's Sylvie.
32:48But that's not Walter Godwin.
32:51That's not my grandfather, see?
32:53That's not the same man.
33:01So, you realised that someone might have stolen your grandfather's identity?
33:07I know they did.
33:09And you came here to St. Marie to find out who this other Walter Godwin was?
33:14That's why you were at the church Sunday morning,
33:16to speak with Sylvie Godwin.
33:22Mrs. Godwin?
33:27So, how did she react when you suggested that the man
33:30who she'd been married to for 60-odd years
33:32may not be who she thought he was?
33:34She already knew.
33:37She said that she'd only just found out herself that week.
33:43How?
33:43Well, her plumber had found a box hidden under the floorboards
33:47when he was fixing a pipe.
33:49I'll find out which plumber.
33:51Sylvie said it had the true identity of her husband in it,
33:56all his personal documents, making clear what happened to my grandfather.
34:01Which was what?
34:03She wouldn't tell me.
34:05She said that she wasn't ready yet, and that she wanted to do it in her own time,
34:10and in her own way, whatever that meant.
34:16I think it meant she wanted to go to the police first about it.
34:20Which must have frustrated you, coming all this way to be denied the truth.
34:23It is my family!
34:25You have no right to keep this to yourself!
34:28Sorry.
34:29I can't help you.
34:33And in that moment, caught up in it all, that's when you must have decided...
34:36No, no.
34:36No.
34:37I wouldn't, really.
34:39I wouldn't.
34:40I just left.
34:41I was angry, but I didn't want to hurt her.
34:44I just wanted to know what was in that box.
34:46And now she's dead, and I don't know where it is.
34:59So, if Sylvie had this box she talked about, where is it?
35:04Because it wasn't at the crime scene, and it wasn't at her house.
35:08And if someone did steal Walter Godwin's identity, who?
35:12And what happened to the real Walter Godwin?
35:14I just got off the phone with the plumber who was over at the victim's house last Friday.
35:18Said Sylvie looked haunted after she looked inside that box.
35:26About an hour later, she was getting inside a taxi saying she needed to go to St. Vincent's Primary School.
35:35She went to see Yasmeen Sealy.
35:40PHONE RINGS
35:42OK, I'm going to lay it out, Miss Sealy.
35:44I believe it's you who has the missing box.
35:47Sylvie's.
35:48We could get a search warrant or...
36:07It's a German passport.
36:11From the Second World War, it looks like.
36:13It belonged to...
36:14Joseph Krauss.
36:15It's believed the diptych was taken from a museum in Paris by a young German soldier called Joseph Krauss.
36:22The last visa stamp showed he left Martinique at the end of the war and came to St. Marie.
36:30St. Marie Times, September 27th, 1945.
36:35It's a report about an unnamed British soldier getting into a fight with a group of German naval officers and
36:43left for dead near St. Vincent's Church.
36:46His body was never found.
36:47I believe that soldier was Walter Godwin, and I think Joseph Krauss came across his body.
36:55Joseph realized he could steal his identity if he could dispose of the body without it being found.
37:03A map of the St. Vincent churchyard.
37:06That must be where the real Walter Godwin was buried.
37:10He took Walter's uniform and papers and buried him there, in this grave, so no one would ever find it.
37:18From that moment on, Joseph Krauss was...
37:21Walter Godwin.
37:22I guess he softened his accent as much as he could.
37:24And by the time he and Sylvie met, about 15 years later, he seemed like the Englishman she thought he
37:30was.
37:31We need to get a forensic victim over from Guadalupe.
37:38I'm assuming Mr Krauss went to all these lengths because of this.
37:44The Belshaw diptych.
37:45I mean, if the authorities worked out he stole it and came looking for him,
37:49then with a new identity, they wouldn't find him.
37:52From what I know, he lived a simple life, working as a caretaker for this school.
37:57And when he and Sylvie met, everyone always said they truly loved each other.
38:04That was the day she retired.
38:06Handed the baton over to me.
38:11Why have you got this box, Miss Sylvie?
38:15Sylvie brought it with her when she came here on Friday.
38:18I asked her if I could keep it so I could look into it some more, that's all.
38:21It's entirely innocent.
38:23Not if you didn't tell us about it, it isn't.
38:25Actually, that's suspicious.
38:27Why did you choose to keep it to yourself?
38:34His school is everything to me.
38:38And I can't risk his reputation being damaged.
38:42He's struggling enough as it is, financially.
38:46All we have to keep going is donations, people's goodwill.
38:49And if it ever got out that we had a caretaker working here, that wasn't who we thought he was.
38:55It was a Nazi soldier who covered up a murder.
39:01So you killed Miss Godwin to stop all this?
39:04No, no, no. I'm very sorry.
39:06I should have told you about it, I know, but...
39:10I didn't kill her.
39:19So if Joseph Krauss sold the Belshazz diptych and had all that money, then why he never do nothing with
39:27it?
39:27Never spend it, nothing.
39:29Perhaps he kept it just in case.
39:31I mean, if the truth ever caught up with him, then he had the means to change his identity.
39:37Again.
39:39Afternoon, Sergeant Thomas.
39:43The trouble is, we're still no closer to working out who murdered Sylvie Godwin.
39:48And then managed to exit the building, when both the front and back door were locked, from the inside, with
39:54keys inside the lock.
39:58He's buried here.
40:01My grandfather.
40:03We believe so, yes.
40:22Officer Rhodes.
40:24Inspector.
40:25Hey.
40:28Sorry, I'll just take a moment, you know.
40:33I'll give you some space.
40:34No, no, no. No, you're alright.
40:36I was just coming in to see if I could make any more sense of it all.
40:40Me too, I guess.
40:42And?
40:44Not much.
40:47Usually, I find, it levels me out.
40:52I can feel peace here.
40:57Sorry I haven't been much use in this investigation, it's just been a lot for me, you know.
41:01I mean, look, we all have cases that, um, throw us off balance from time to time.
41:05When I've had more than my fair share, trust me.
41:08Right.
41:09See, when I'm thrown by a kiss, my brain just starts jumping around like some itchy footed grasshopper, you know?
41:23Well, maybe that is your unique selling point.
41:27So I'd say, embrace it.
41:31Own it.
41:32Don't let it own you.
41:34In fact, you know what?
41:36Let's try it. Let's try it right now, yeah?
41:38Hold.
41:39We visualise it.
41:41Only this time, you are taking the lead.
41:44Okay, come on. Up you get.
41:46That's it.
41:49Okay.
41:51This is the crime scene.
41:52The murder of Sylvie Godwin.
41:55That door, the front door, is locked from the inside.
41:59The key's in the door.
42:04Sylvie's body is here.
42:08This big wooden cross is on top of her.
42:13Now.
42:14Come on.
42:15Just freestyle it, yeah?
42:16Just say whatever your brain wants to say.
42:20Um...
42:20I'm thinking about when I busted the door open.
42:24And I hurt my arm.
42:25You know?
42:26When I got home, it was all bruised up.
42:28So, I drank some rum to numb the pain.
42:33Well, that also means it was definitely locked.
42:40Okay. Okay. What else?
42:42Well then, if you were the killer, you'd probably prefer to leave the scene at the back.
42:49Yeah, yeah. Keep going. Keep going.
42:50So that way you're less likely to be seen by others. So, um, maybe...
42:55We're in the wrong room.
42:57The back room.
42:59Come on.
43:08So what's she saying to you?
43:10This room, what was it telling you?
43:15Hmm.
43:16What?
43:17Collection box.
43:19It's just, usually, it sits right there, under the shelf.
43:23Now it looks like it's been pulled out a little bit.
43:32There's a coin in it.
43:33And that's odd because...
43:35Because Miss Godwin empties the collection box every Sunday after the service.
43:41Today's collection passed down.
43:42And she gives the money to my mum.
43:48So, this must have been put in there after she was murdered.
43:52Which means...
43:54Well then, the killer must have put it there.
43:58That won't go in.
44:01The key's in on the other side.
44:06PM says the victim became unconscious and reckoned she was hit by something with a sharp edge.
44:13Diptic.
44:14A painting or a carving on two panels usually hinge like a book.
44:18Local art historians generally believe it was brought to Saint Marie.
44:29Bingo!
44:31Have you solved the case?
44:33It was actually Officer Rose and his itchy footy grass upper brain that solved it.
44:38I did.
44:39That coin explains everything.
44:42Okay, let's move people.
44:44There's still some things we need to do.
44:45Like, get hold of a search warrant.
44:47And we need the luminol.
44:49Oh, and we need a tape measure.
44:51Why do we need a tape measure?
44:53To measure something.
45:01Way back in 1945, a young British soldier by the name of Walter Godwin was killed here on Saint Marie.
45:10His identity was stolen.
45:12And his body was hidden in someone else's grave.
45:15Now, finally, thanks to Sylvie Godwin and the discovery of this box,
45:22that young man can get the proper burial he deserves.
45:28Which brings us to the crime in the present.
45:31Sylvie Godwin's murder at St Vincent's Church on Sunday.
45:35And although it occurred many years after Walter Godwin's murder,
45:39this little wooden box and its contents helped solve this murder as well.
45:45We know from the post-mortem that Sylvie was hit with a sharp object.
45:48This spray, luminal, detects traces of blood.
45:52And this proves that there was blood on the box recently, as you can see here.
46:01Now, we have another time to carry out the relevant tests.
46:04But when our lab compares this blood with Sylvie's, I'm confident they'll match.
46:09And as this box has only been in one person's possession since the murder,
46:13it has led me to believe that Sylvie Godwin's killer was...
46:18Yasmin Seeley.
46:23What have you done?
46:26That's not true.
46:29Someone else must have taken it alone.
46:32Don't worry, Miss Seeley. We'll be coming to this in a minute.
46:37Throughout this case, we've worked on the assumption that Sylvie Godwin's husband,
46:43real name Joseph Krauss, had sold the painting he had stolen,
46:47which explains why he had so much money in his bank account.
46:51Well, it's half the truth.
46:53Because the unique defining thing about a diptych is that there are two halves to it.
46:59Diptych? A painting or a carving on two panels usually hinge like a book.
47:03And we now know that Joseph Krauss sold only one half of the Belshaw diptych.
47:11And he kept the other half.
47:20Goodness me.
47:23Now, we'll never fully know why Joseph separated the two panels.
47:28My sense is that he was someone who liked to hedge his bets.
47:31Be prepared for all eventualities.
47:33I think that's partly why he never spent any of the money.
47:37Plus, having to explain to his wife-to-be how he came into such major coinage
47:43would mean admitting to the theft of this famous piece of art and also being an imposter.
47:49So, Joseph held on to the money and the picture.
47:53So, where has it been the last 80 odd years or so?
47:58Hanging on the wall of the headmistress's office at the St. Vincent's Primary School.
48:04Which is now your office, Miss Seeley.
48:12Joseph Krauss must have put it there during his years as caretaker.
48:16And no one ever thought anything of it.
48:19This faded religious icon hanging on the wall of a church school
48:25surrounded by other religious images.
48:27Earlier today, Miss Seeley, when we talked in your office...
48:31That was the day she retired.
48:33I saw that framed photo on the wall of Sylvie and Walter.
48:37And I happened to notice the outline of a larger rectangle around that frame
48:42where the paint hadn't faded.
48:44Clearly, another picture had previously hung there for some time.
48:47I didn't think much of it at first.
48:50But I had it measured.
48:52And guess what?
48:53It was 50 centimetres by 30 centimetres.
48:58The exact same dimensions as one half of the Belshaw diptych.
49:02Each panel measures 50 by 30 centimetres.
49:06That's why Mrs Godwin came to see you when she found the box
49:10and realised what was hanging on her old office wall.
49:15We can't keep it.
49:17I go and let the police know.
49:19But you didn't agree, did you?
49:22You told us your school was struggling for money.
49:25But we had a bit of a dig.
49:27And it's...it's worse than that.
49:31You've not drawn a salary in the last six months to keep it going.
49:36You said yourself the place meant so much to you.
49:39And so the prospect of getting millions of dollars just landing in your lap...
49:44Well, you just weren't willing to give that up.
49:49And so, after driving home to pick up food for Lorette's lunch gathering,
49:55you returned to the church to plead with Sylvie one more time.
49:59Please don't do it.
50:02That money...it could help the school so much.
50:05Could help me.
50:06But Sylvie wasn't for turning, was she?
50:07I'm desperate.
50:09As Officer Rose said, she always tried to do good in life.
50:13And she wasn't about to stop now.
50:15Sorry.
50:16So in that moment, desire for the money got the better of you.
50:20And you decided you were gonna stop her.
50:22I assume Sylvie had that box with her in the church that day.
50:26And this box...
50:27...was your weapon of choice.
50:32And once you used it to kill her, you made it look like there'd been some...
50:36...tragic accident.
50:44How could you?
50:48Now, knowing that the front door of the church had already been locked by Mrs. Godwin...
50:53...you made your escape via the rear.
50:55Using the church's spare back door key that you took from the back room...
51:00...to lock the door from the outside.
51:03And placing...
51:05...this little coin in the lock.
51:14It's locked.
51:15So that when you returned with Officer Rose and Lorette...
51:19That won't go in.
51:20And with the little play acting, it would seem like the door was locked from the inside.
51:25The key's in on the other side.
51:27Then when Officer Rose and his mum headed round to the front...
51:30...you lingered briefly.
51:32And proceeded to open the door with the church's spare key...
51:36...pushing this coin out in the process.
51:38And then inserting that key...
51:41...inside.
51:44All you had to do was find a moment to actually lock it.
51:48Okay, thank you.
51:50Ambulance is honest for you.
51:53Seeing the coin on the floor, you picked it up.
51:58And without your bag or purse...
52:02...you disposed of it in the collection box.
52:08And then actually locked the back door with the key.
52:15It was very clever of you.
52:17Making it look like Sylvie was on her own in the church when she had that fatal fall.
52:22One might say devilishly so.
52:26But you see, Sylvie was so determined that the truth would come out.
52:30That even after her death, her desire to put right a decades old wrong...
52:35...finally won out.
52:36This arrived for me in the morning post.
52:45Officer Rose.
52:46I think this arrest has your name on it.
52:53Get up.
52:56Yasmin Sealy.
52:58I'm arresting you for the murder of Sylvie.
53:00Go on, man.
53:01You don't need to say anything.
53:03I'm doing a hand in the face.
53:04You have to make sure your questions are answered.
53:06I'm doing a lot of work.
53:07I'm doing a lot of work.
53:08I'm doing a lot of work.
53:09I'm doing a lot of work.
53:11I'm doing a lot of work.
53:12Excuse me, Sarj.
53:13I'll be a secundi.
53:15See you again.
53:18May I?
53:20Mum.
53:27You alright?
53:29I can't believe what that woman's done.
53:33Poor Sylvie.
53:36And just for money?
53:39I'm sorry for getting it wrong.
53:42You haven't seen me at my best on this case.
53:45That's not what your inspector told me.
53:48He said it was because of you that it all got solved.
53:53Which is even more impressive considering you had other things to deal with.
53:58Like your mother keeping secrets.
54:01And honestly, Mum, I think it's helping.
54:04You moving on.
54:05I don't think you should be getting old and lonely.
54:08I'm just focusing on me and the church, you know.
54:11You deserve happiness too.
54:17You alright?
54:19Yes, I.
54:23So, you like him?
54:27Then I'm pleased for you.
54:29But you do know that all that money he inherited from the stolen painting,
54:34you won't be getting none of that, you know.
54:36I'm not asking for his money.
54:38Well, seriously though.
54:40I mean, he seems like a good guy.
54:43With him shiny head.
54:48See you Sunday.
54:50You won't be late this time.
54:53Try my best.
54:55Hmm.
54:57Love you.
54:58Love you too.
55:11All right.
55:12That's the hockey.
55:14This is where you throw from.
55:16You get three throws each,
55:17and then it's the next player's turn.
55:20All right.
55:21Let's get it started.
55:23Game on.
55:24Round one.
55:30Shut you.
55:30I thought you were supposed to hit the board, Inspector.
55:33Yeah, yeah.
55:34I think there's something off with the flyer.
55:35It's alright.
55:36Not to worry.
55:36We got this, sir.
55:42Sir, you are really bad at this.
55:45No, it's not me.
55:45Honestly, it's the dance.
55:47You know, you're giving off some real bad loser vibes right now.
55:50Maybe.
55:50You should let the commissioner take the last throw.
55:52It's not his turn yet.
55:54With respect.
55:55Now, if you just stop talking,
55:57then I can throw properly.
55:58All right?
56:06There you go.
56:07So,
56:10so,
56:12that's two points,
56:14is it?
56:20Just two points
56:21for our team?
56:23Wow.
56:24Just a bit rusty,
56:25that's all.
56:26You want to join our team, Commissioner?
56:28No, I mean,
56:29I don't think any of us
56:30are going to be
56:30as bad as that is.
56:31Ha ha!
56:32He he!

56:59Ladies and gentlemen of The Tempest Company,
57:01this is your 15-minute call.
57:03This was their final performance.
57:04It suddenly collapsed halfway through the second night.
57:06The poison was in the bottle that our victim
57:08and the other two actors drank from on stage.
57:10But only Michael Farrah dies.
57:12Would you like to go for a drink with me?
57:13That's inappropriate, Mr. Gorman.
57:15A complaint has been me accusing you of unprofessional conduct.
57:20Still haven't heard from your brother?
57:21I think he's actually ignoring my calls.
57:23Then maybe you should go visit him in Antigua.
57:26Somebody's giving the inspector some hair.
57:28They're here.
57:34They're old hats, but the crimes, they keep on a-coming.
57:37Silent Windness brings the comfort and the corpses to BBC iPlayer.
57:40A new series is coming.
57:42Brush up on the old ones.
57:44Piggy Blinders is waiting for you over on BBC iPlayer.
57:47Come on.
