00:31Lord, I know the coming days are going to be hard for me.
00:35Yasmin, we've got two less for lunch.
00:37You give 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 got the whole church ready on your own.
00:59I don't mind. I enjoy it.
01:01Yeah, but 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.
01:23Well, 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.
01:53Cha-cha.
01:54Cha-cha.
01:54Cha-cha.
01:55Cha-cha.
01:57Cha-cha.
01:58Cha-cha.
01:58Cha-cha.
01:59Cha-cha.
02:00Cha-cha.
02:01Cha-cha.
02:02Cha-cha.
02:03Cha-cha.
02:04Cha-cha.
02:04Cha-cha.
02:05Cha-cha.
02:05Cha-cha.
02:39I'm going to nip home and grab the food.
02:42Is Seb still not here?
02:44You're going to be okay setting up for lunch?
02:46I'll be fine.
02:48Okay.
02:52Today's collection, Pastor.
02:54I'm going to finish tidy up in here, then I'll head over to your place.
02:58I'll see you soon, Sylvie.
03:17Hello?
03:22Hello?
03:23Is somebody dead?
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, but dish up some food, and there he is.
03:47What a feast.
03:48Looks like I timed it just right.
03:50Can't wait to dig in.
03:51I'm dead for hungry.
03:53Miss Celie, Mama, you all good?
03:57Nice to see you, sir.
03:58Right, come everybody, sit down.
04:02Wait.
04:04Sylvie's not here.
04:05Don't tell me she's still at the church.
04:09Yes, sir.
04:10You're good?
04:10Hi.
04:11Hi.
04:22Hi.
05:24I'll introduce you.
05:28It's a lot noisier than how they play back up.
05:31I mean, back there, it's more sedate and less...
05:35Passionate.
05:36Exactly that.
05:37So off in the way with the English.
05:42Everyone, this is Mervyn.
05:45He was looking to play.
05:48Oscar, maybe you could play with me.
05:51Sure.
05:52Yeah, nice to meet you, Oscar.
05:54Nice to meet you.
05:54Um, be gentle with me, yeah?
05:57It's been a while.
05:59Oh, Naomi, you're not working today.
06:02We are now, I'm afraid.
06:05Got an accidental death.
06:07Coroner's away at the moment, so we have to go and sign off on it.
06:10Mervyn's here.
06:11He was just about to play his first Dominos game on the island.
06:15There you go.
06:17What?
06:18Oh.
06:19That's it.
06:20Well.
06:22Okay, then.
06:24Nice one, mate.
06:26We should have a rematch sometime.
06:29You know, by the 12th or never.
06:30It's not over already.
06:32That man totally thrashed me.
06:34I was only gone a few moments.
06:36It's 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.
06:44Because 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.
07:00English.
07:04Victim's name is 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?
07:12Since 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?
07:22She 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.
07:33Caused an injury to the brain.
07:35And you found her body, Officer Rose?
07:38Mm-hmm.
07:39Me and my mama, Miss Celie.
07:41She'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.
07:56What's wrong with her shoes?
07:58Well, there'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.
08:17Safety first and all that.
08:18And at 85 years old, I think Mrs. Godwin here will be even more likely to do that than anyone
08:25younger or more agile.
08:27So, 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.
08:50Well, that's not possible.
08:51Why not?
08:53Because the church was all locked up from the inside, so nobody could get in our out.
09:00Show me.
09:01So, when we got here, we went to the back entrance.
09:05It's locked.
09:08Left one 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 there?
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, that'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, I came straight in here and called
09:56the ambulance.
09:57I'm telling you, both doors were locked on the inside.
09:59If someone killed Mrs. Godwin and staged a crime scene, then how did they manage to get out?
10:11No, that 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. When was it now?
10:27It was 2017.
10:29I officiated the funeral.
10:31I mean, you want to know about Sylvie's life?
10:34It 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. She got married here.
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.
10:59I 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.
11:10Dear Wilson. Dear S. 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?
12:13You can go and rest your feet, man.
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.
12:25Alright.
12:26The Christmas rum coming out early this year.
12:28Seb.
12:28Your 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?
12:44I don't know.
12:45But it couldn't have been anybody at the church, right?
12:48So 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.
13:00Alright.
13:05I know this hasn't played out how we expected.
13:08But I had to do what I had to do.
13:11No, I'm not coming back yet.
13:13Not until I've got what I came for.
13:31Finish your breakfast.
13:40You're welcome.
13:50Oh!
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.
14:16She said she could tell I wanted to put things right.
14:20And that's what she also needed to do.
14:23Right or wrong.
14:24But 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.
14:47And 24 hours later she was dead.
14:53Well this gets more interesting by the minute.
14:56How much is in Mrs. Godwin's bank account?
14:57$2,463,000.
15:03What? You sure about that?
15:05Like, seriously?
15:07Seriously.
15:08Well new primary school head teachers earn so much.
15:11I've 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?
15:19What did he do for a living?
15:21Mr Walter Godwin.
15:22He was a caretaker at the same school that Mrs. Godwin worked at.
15:25I think that's where they first met.
15:27Not only 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?
15:43Officer Rose, give your mum a call.
15:44See if it sparks a memory or something, yeah?
15:46Cool, but all of this is a bit odd.
15:49Because it's nothing like Mrs. Godwin.
15:51I mean, $2 million?
15:54That's crazy.
15:55She wasn't that kind of person.
15:57When 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 to see if any of the parishioners saw anything suspicious
16:06yesterday.
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 Moyse.
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, then, two million's gonna come in very handy.
16:47I don't know either. It's all a bit crazy right now.
16:50Mum, I'll speak to you later. I got to go.
16:52I'll leave you to it, 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'll let me know, yeah?
17:04Alright.
17:06Where are they going?
17:07To interview Hector Moyse. He's a possible suspect now.
17:11Hector? A suspect?
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?
17:29That used to be my boat.
17:32There. Spent more time to get on me and her than anyone else.
17:38And then, some doctor you don't even know, writes a certificate saying you can do it no more.
17:46Well, how are your finances? Now you're not working.
17:49I'm struggling.
17:51Alright.
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 this now, doesn't it?
17:59Excuse me? What?
18:00Mr Moyse, 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. You think
18:16I'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?
18:35Yeah.
18:36I didn't know she had that kind of money. I swear to you, she never mentioned a word to me
18:40about it.
18:40Look, I get it. I get how it looks to you. I need money. Badly, I'm desperate. But I had
18:47no idea Sylvie was loaded like that. So why would I kill her?
18:58Sarge, found some kind of time machine in Mrs Godwin's office.
19:04Oh, it's a computer.
19:07Uh, have 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...
19:28He passed away.
19:30I'm so sorry.
19:32How old were you?
19:35Eleven.
19:36That's so young. It must have been hard.
19:41Really hard, you know?
19:43Yeah.
19:45My first lesson in pain.
19:48But seeing my mother rise up every morning after that...
19:52That showed me what true love looks like, you know?
19:56Made us closer. A team.
19:59You can tell.
20:10The Belshaw diptyk?
20:12You know what a diptyk 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 diptyk.
20:20You're trying to say dipstick, right?
20:23Diptyk?
20:24A painting or a carving on two panels usually hinge like a book.
20:28Oh, you mean diptyk?
20:30Yeah, madme, know about diptyk and them thing, yeah?
20:33Well, apparently, this Belshaw diptyk is rare.
20:37Priceless 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.
20:58Friday, the day before she posted that letter to the commissioner.
21:06The Belshaw diptyk is a rare French panel painting from the Middle Ages.
21:11Each panel measures 50 by 30 centimeters.
21:14Rare.
21:14So 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 diptyk 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,
21:38Krauss and a couple of other German soldiers accompanied him.
21:41And what happened to it when he came here?
21:44Boy, I don't know.
21:46But Joseph Krauss, he fled the region when the war finished.
21:49And the painting never resurfaced.
21:52And some historians believe that Krauss hid the Belshaw diptyk on one of the smaller neighboring islands,
21:57like St. Marie.
22:00Right, so our victim was looking into this Belshaw diptyk,
22:05and the next day sent a letter to the commissioner saying she wanted to put right a wrong that took
22:10place many years before at St. 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 $2 million 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, because if there's any truth in it, this could be a
22:42big deal.
22:55Everything all right?
23:00It's just like, first Hector, then Mrs. Godwin.
23:05It's all, it'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?
23:17Without 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.
23:35You're sure?
23:36Yeah, I'm good.
23:38All right, then I'll see you tomorrow morning, yeah?
23:40All right.
23:41Take care of yourself.
23:47All right, 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.
23:58Received the email we sent out asking if anyone saw anything suspicious yesterday.
24:03Mm-hmm.
24:04Says 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?
24:27Yeah, 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 Belshaw diptyque, but how or why that connects to Sylvie Godwin,
24:46I don't know.
24:49But I shall ask her own.
24:52Evening all.
24:54Sorry I'm late.
24:56I had a prior arrangement with a bloke called Barry.
24:59Who, might I ask, is Barry?
25:02It'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.
25:23Well, 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...
25:45Pardon, but this is not a boozer.
25:47A pub.
25:49Or a pub.
25:50But 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.
26:00It's not going up.
26:03Yeah, but, Catherine...
26:04I 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.
26:45Whoa!
26:46Mum, what's this?
26:47What?
26:48Huh?
26:49Seb, sweetheart, this isn't...
26:52Seb, you weren't supposed to...
26:55Good evening, Sebastian.
26:57You all right?
26:58Me?
26:58Are you all right?
26:59What's this?
27:00Huh?
27:01What's going on?
27:01Because they look like...
27:02Are you...
27:03I...
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?
27:18How long's it been?
27:19Well, 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 wanted to tell you, but I...
28:00I was too scared.
28:02Of how I'd react?
28:03No.
28:04So then what?
28:07See?
28:08It is because of that.
28:10No, no, really.
28:11It's not that.
28:12A whole year, ma.
28:14A whole year you've been lying to me.
28:19You know...
28:19In 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.
28:36I need some air.
28:58Inheritance?
28:59Oh, well...
29:00I mean, okay.
29:02That's interesting.
29:04All right.
29:04Well, thanks.
29:05I wanted to know...
29:07So...
29:08When was...
29:09What the...
29:09Oh, what?
29:10Oh, one second, sir.
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.
29:23Can we...
29:24Oh, yes, sure.
29:25Sorry, sorry.
29:27Yes, sir, sir.
29:29Oh, sorry.
29:30Oh, sorry.
29:31No, sir.
29:32Oh, sorry.
29:33Yes, yes, come on, yes.
29:34So, um, I'm just on the phone with Sylvie Godwin's bank manager.
29:38And interestingly, the 2.4 million in her account,
29:41she inherited it from her husband, Walter Godwin.
29:44The bank manager says she don't know where he got it from
29:47or how Walter got so rich.
29:49It was Walter's money.
29:50Yeah, and unfortunately, the liar who was handling Walter's will,
29:53it's no longer our own.
29:55So, that's all I got.
29:57Why is there a post-it with post-mortem exclamation mark
30:00pressing on it?
30:00Oh, uh, the 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 like...
30:15Don't forget the toilet roll.
30:18PM says the victim became unconscious and died of hypoxia
30:21and reckon she was hit with something with a sharp edge
30:25rather than banging her head on the floor.
30:28So we're right.
30:29It was murder.
30:30What are all these printouts on the floor, sir?
30:33Oh, that's from, uh, Kariba car hire.
30:35It's in the details of the woman who was seen outside
30:37St. Vincent Church, the morning of the murder.
30:39Selina Bascombe, 54 years old, from the UK, Berkshire.
30:44Arrived here Friday and is staying at the Golden Bay Hotel.
30:48Yeah, yeah, I think she's just a tourist.
30:50There's nothing interesting about her yet.
30:52Well, then you didn't look properly, Seb.
30:54Because 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.
31:08So I can Fletcher.
31:09Oh.
31:10Yeah, sorry about that.
31:11Hello?
31:13Hello?
31:15Yeah.
31:16Psst.
31:29Seb, this is cool.
31:31You're trying to move the case on.
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, okay?
31:44Have 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.
31:56Alright, Sarge.
31:58Cool.
32:06Thanks for coming in, Miss Bascombe.
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,
32:20who was pregnant with my father at the time,
32:23saying that he wasn't coming home.
32:26That it was over between them.
32:28And he knew she was pregnant?
32:29Yes, 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.
32:45To 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
33:46hidden under the floorboards when 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,
33:57making clear what happened to my grandfather.
34:00Which was what?
34:04She wouldn't tell me.
34:05She said that she wasn't ready yet
34:08and that she wanted to do it in her own time
34:11and in her own way,
34:13whatever that meant.
34:16I think it meant she wanted to go to the police first about it.
34:20Which must have frustrated you,
34:22coming all this way to be denied the truth.
34:24It is my family!
34:25You have no right to keep this to yourself!
34:28I'm sorry.
34:29I can't help you.
34:32No!
34:33And in that moment, caught up in it all,
34:35that's when you must have decided...
34:36No, no.
34:37No.
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.
34:47And now she's dead and I don't know where it is.
34:59So if Sylvie had this box she talked about,
35:03where is it?
35:04Because it wasn't at the crime scene
35:06and it wasn't at her house.
35:08And if someone did steal Water Godwin's identity,
35:10who?
35:12And what happened to the real Water Godwin?
35:14I just got off the phone with the plumber
35:15who 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,
35:27she was getting inside a taxi saying
35:29she needed to go to St. Vincent's Primary School.
35:35She went to see Yasmin Seeley.
35:42Okay, I'm gonna lay it out, Miss Seeley.
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.
36:13Belonged to...
36:15It's believed the diptych was taken from a museum in Paris
36:19by a young German soldier called Joseph Krauss.
36:22The last visa stamp showed he left Martinique
36:25at the end of the war and came to St. Marie.
36:31St. Marie Times, September 27th, 1945.
36:36It's a report about an unnamed British soldier
36:39getting into a fight with a group of German naval officers
36:43and left for dead near St. Vincent's Church.
36:46His body was never found.
36:47I believe that soldier was Walter Godwin.
36:50And I think Joseph Krauss came across his body.
36:55Joseph realized he could steal his identity
36:58if he could dispose of the body without it being found.
37:03A map of the St. Vincent churchyard.
37:07That must be where the real Walter Godwin was buried.
37:10He took Walter's uniform and papers and buried him there.
37:15In this grave.
37:16So no one would ever find it.
37:18From that moment on, Joseph Krauss was...
37:21Walter Godwin.
37:21I guess he softened his accent as much as he could.
37:24And by the time he and Sylvie met, about 15 years later,
37:28and he seemed like the English man she thought he was.
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.
38:07Handed the baton over to me.
38:11Why have you got this box, Miss Silly?
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?
38:34The school is everything to me.
38:38And I can't risk his reputation being damaged.
38:42It'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...
39:11I 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?
39:28Never spend it, nothing.
39:30Perhaps he kept it just in case.
39:32I 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 on 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.
41:06When 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.
41:28So 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.
41:53The 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.
42:18Um, I'm thinking about when I busted the door open.
42:24When I hurt mom, you know?
42:26When I got home, it was all bruised up.
42:27So, I drank some rum to numb the pain.
42:33But, that also means it was definitely locked.
42:40Okay, okay. What else?
42:42Well then, if you were the killer,
42:45you'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.
42:52So, um, maybe we're in the wrong room.
42:57The back room.
42:59Come on.
43:07So 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 being pulled out of the cupboard.
43:32There's a kind in it.
43:33Yeah, and that's odd because...
43:35Because, Miss Godwin empties the collection box every Sunday after the service.
43:40Today's collection passed down.
43:43And she gives the money to my mum.
43:49So, this must have been put in there after she was murdered.
43:53Which means, well then, the killer must have put it there.
43:57That 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!
44:32Have 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.
44:46Like, 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.
45:02Way 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.
45:16Now, 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.
45:32Sylvie Godwin's murder at St. Vincent's Church on Sunday.
45:35And although it occurred many years after Walter Godwin's murder,
45:38this little wooden box in 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, luminol, it takes traces of blood.
45:51And this proves that there was blood in 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.
46:10And 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.
46:24What have you done?
46:27That's not true.
46:29Someone else must have taken it on them.
46:32Don't worry, Miss Seeley. We'll be coming to this in a minute.
46:38Throughout this case, we've worked on the assumption that Sylvie Godwin's husband, real name Joseph Krauss,
46:45had sold the painting he had stolen, which 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.
47:27My 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.
47:47And 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 and 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,
48:24surrounded by other religious images.
48:28Earlier 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.
48:57The exact same dimensions as one half of the Belshaw Dipty.
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 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.
49:45Well, you just weren't willing to give that up.
49:49And so, after driving home to pick up food for Lorette's lunch gathering,
49:54you returned to the church to plead with Sylvie one more time.
49:59Please don't do it.
50:01That money, it could help the school so much.
50:05It could help me.
50:06Sylvie 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.
50:17So in that moment, desire for the money got the better of you.
50:20And you decided you were going to stop her.
50:22I assume Sylvie had that box with her in the church that day.
50:26And this box was your weapon of choice.
50:32And once you used it to kill her, you made it look like there had been some tragic accident.
50:44How could you?
50:48Now, knowing that the front door of the church had already been locked by Mrs. Godwin,
50:53you made your escape via the rear, using the church's spare back door key that you took from the back
51:00room
51:00to lock the door from the outside.
51:03And placing 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, you lingered briefly.
51:32And proceeded to open the door with the church's spare key, pushing this coin out in the process.
51:38And then inserting that key inside.
51:44All you had to do was find a moment to actually lock it.
51:48OK, thank you.
51:50Ambulance is honest with you.
51:53Seeing the coin on the floor, you picked it up.
51:59And without your bag or purse, you disposed of it in the collection box.
52:09And 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, finally won out.
52:36This arrived for me in the morning post.
52:44Officer Rose, I think Mr. Rest has your name on it.
52:53Get up.
52:56He has my silly.
52:58I'm arresting you for the murder of Sylvie Godwin.
53:01You don't need to say anything.
53:02You don't need to say anything.
53:04You don't need to make sure you question something.
53:11Excuse me, Serge. I'll be a second.
53:16Sylvie, I'll be a second.
53:17Excuse me, Serge. I'll be a second.
53:18Sylvie, I'll be a second.
53:18Sylvie, I'll be a second.
53:19May I help you?
53:20Mom.
53:27You all right?
53:29I can't believe what that woman's dog...
53:33Poor Sylvie.
53:34Poor 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, Mom, I think it's helping.
54:04You moving on.
54:05I don't think you should be getting old and lonely.
54:08And just focusing on me and the church, you know?
54:11You deserve happiness too.
54:17You all right?
54:19Yes, I.
54:22So, 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, you won't be getting none of
54:35that, you know?
54:36I'm not darting him for his money.
54:38Well, seriously though.
54:40I mean...
54:41He 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.
54:57Love 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, and 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.
55:34Yeah, yeah.
55:34I think there's something off with the flyer.
55:35It's all right.
55:36Not to worry.
55:37We 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, then I can throw properly.
55:58All right?
56:06There you go.
56:08So...
56:10So...
56:12That's two points?
56:14Is it?
56:20Just two points for our team?
56:24Just a bit rusty.
56:25That's all.
56:26You want to join our team, Commissioner?
56:28I mean, I don't think any of us are going to be as bad as that.
56:31What?
56:35You didn't.
56:36You are the team, Commissioner Lady for you.
56:43I don't know.
56:44You guys.
56:45You're the team, professor?
56:50I've been telling you.
56:50I'm the manager of the team.
56:51That's a good morning.
56:51But I'm the manager of the team.
56:51I'm the manager of the team, the manager of the team.
56:52Not all three points for our team.
