00:00Debra, I told him to be here to help.
00:13So, I think I know what you're going to say.
00:16Despite me specifically asking you...
00:19To arrive early and help Mrs. Godwin with the church.
00:22I'm sorry, I promise it will never happen again.
00:25It will.
00:26I mean, yes, it's very probable.
00:27So, are you going to make it to the service?
00:35Um...
00:36I will try my best.
00:40Ja, ja.
01:09I'm going to put on my long white road down by the riverside, down by the riverside, down by the
01:19riverside, down by the riverside.
01:29I ain't going to study one no more.
01:32I'm going to say a little prayer in the morning for you.
01:38I'm going to nip home and grab the food.
01:41Is Seb still not here?
01:43You're going to be okay setting up for lunch?
01:45I'll be fine.
01:46Okay.
01:51Today's collection, Pastor.
01:53I'm going to finish tidy up in here, then I'll head over to your place.
01:57I'll see you soon, Sylvie.
02:15Hello?
02:20Hello?
02:22Is somebody there?
02:34Okay, everybody, come and sit down.
02:38Oh, that boy has a sixth sense.
02:41You can't get him to come to church on time, but dish up some food, and there he is.
02:46What a feast.
02:47Looks like a time did just right.
02:49Can't wait to dig in.
02:50I'm dead for hungry.
02:51Miss Celie, mama, you all good?
02:56Nice to see you, Seb.
02:57Right, come, everybody, sit down.
03:00Wait.
03:02Sylvie's not here.
03:04Don't tell me she's still at the church.
03:07Yes, ma'am.
03:08You're good?
03:09You're good?
04:26It's a lot noisier than how they play back up.
04:30I mean, back there, it's more sedate and less...
04:34Passionate.
04:35Exactly that.
04:36So off and away with the English.
04:41Everyone, this is Mervyn.
04:44He was looking to play.
04:47Oscar, maybe you could play with me.
04:50Sure.
04:51Yeah, nice to meet you, Oscar.
04:53Nice to meet you.
04:53Um, be gentle with me, yeah?
04:56It's been a while.
04:58Oh, Naomi, you're not working today.
05:01We are now, I'm afraid.
05:03Got an accidental death.
05:05Coroner is away at the moment, so we have to go and sign off on it.
05:09Mervyn's here.
05:10He was just about to play his first Dominos game on the island.
05:14Here you go.
05:16What?
05:17Oh.
05:18That's it?
05:19Well.
05:21Okay, then.
05:23Nice one, mate.
05:25We should have a rematch sometime.
05:27Yeah, by the 12th or never.
05:29It's not over already.
05:31The man totally thrashed me.
05:33I was only gone a few moments.
05:34It's like a hurricane.
05:36I've never seen anything like it.
05:40DS Thomas, please tell me we've got a new case to deal with.
05:42Because that was genuinely humiliating.
05:45We have.
05:46By St Vincent's church, which is Seb's mother's church.
05:51He was the one that called it in.
05:56See you, Oscar.
05:59English.
06:02Victims named Sylvia Godwin.
06:04She was 85 years old.
06:06God bless her.
06:08I can't believe she's gone just like that.
06:10Did you know her well?
06:11Since I was a kid.
06:13She was like an auntie to me, you know?
06:16Sorry, mate.
06:18So, was she alone when it happened?
06:20She stayed behind after service to tidy up.
06:23Looks like she was dusting the cross and lost her footing
06:26and pulled it down with her.
06:27Poor woman.
06:28Paramedics reckon she banged her head when she landed.
06:31Caused an injury to the brain.
06:34And you found their body, Officer Rose?
06:36Mm-hmm.
06:38Me and my mama and Miss Celie.
06:40She's the headmistress at the church primary school down the road.
06:42Miss Godwin!
06:45Something isn't right.
06:46It's not adding up.
06:48This whole scene in front of it, it's just not adding up for me.
06:53It's her shoes.
06:55What's wrong with her shoes?
06:56Well, there's nothing wrong with her shoes, per se.
06:59They're nice enough, Sunday best shoes.
07:02Got a bit of a heel on them.
07:04About two inches, I reckon.
07:06The thing is, most people, if they're gonna climb up on a chair to do some dusting,
07:11and they're wearing heels, they're gonna remove them beforehand.
07:13To be more sure-footed, safety first and all that.
07:17And at 85 years old, I think Mrs. Godwin here will be even more likely to do that than anyone
07:24younger or more agile.
07:25So, what are you suggesting?
07:27That she didn't climb up on the chair?
07:32No, she didn't.
07:33And if she didn't climb up on the chair, she didn't fall from the chair.
07:37And if she didn't fall from the chair, she didn't bang her head from falling.
07:40And if she didn't bang her head from falling, then what did actually happen here?
07:44You think it's suspicious?
07:46I think we've been sold a lie.
07:48Well, that's not possible.
07:50Why not?
07:51Because the church was all locked up from the inside, so nobody could get in or out.
07:58Show me.
08:00So, when we got here, we went to the back entrance.
08:04It's locked.
08:07Flip won't go in.
08:10The key's in on the other side.
08:12So, we came round to the front entrance.
08:15To the same situation.
08:16Let me see.
08:18There's a key in here too.
08:20So, I had to bust the door open.
08:26See?
08:27Whose key's that?
08:28Mrs. Godwin's.
08:29She usually locks the door and she's tidying up, so nobody bothers her.
08:33Show me the back door.
08:38Is this also the victim's key?
08:41No.
08:41That's from the hook over there, sir.
08:43I don't know how it got in this door.
08:45Could someone have been hiding in here while you were in there?
08:49No way.
08:50As soon as I found her, I saw my phone had no juice.
08:53I came straight in here and called the ambulance.
08:56I'm telling you, both doors were locked on the inside.
08:58If someone killed Mrs. Godwin and staged a crime scene, then how did they manage to get out?
09:10No.
09:11That just can't be.
09:12There is no reason anybody would want to do that to Sylvie.
09:15She's right.
09:16It's crazy you think it is suspicious.
09:18Well, can you tell us a little more about her?
09:21Did Mrs. Godwin have any family?
09:23Was she married?
09:24Was, but he passed away.
09:25When was it now?
09:26It was 2017.
09:28I officiated the funeral.
09:30I mean, you want to know about Sylvie's life?
09:32It was this church.
09:34This church was her family.
09:37That's the truth.
09:38She had been coming to St. Vincent since before I was born.
09:42She was christened here.
09:44She got married here.
09:46And she never missed a single Sunday service in all of her life.
09:50Pastor, I came straight over.
09:53Thank you for coming, Hector.
09:58I called Hector and told him the news.
10:00He was very close to Sylvie.
10:02She was his school teacher many years ago.
10:05Hector Mice.
10:08D.I. Wilson.
10:09D.S. Thomas.
10:13So Mrs. Godwin was a teacher?
10:16St. Vincent Primary School.
10:18I took over from her as headmistress when she retired.
10:22And you kept in touch with her?
10:23Always.
10:24The things she did for me as a kid.
10:27Above and beyond, you know?
10:33In what way?
10:35She kept an eye on me.
10:37Because my parents didn't.
10:39Sylvie and Walter, her husband.
10:42They never had kids themselves.
10:44Hector met the world to her.
10:45That's why this just can't be true.
10:48That woman had nothing but good in her.
10:54Well, if you think of anything, you let us know, yeah?
11:12You can go and rest your feet, man.
11:14I'll clear all this up.
11:16You want me to make your herbal tea?
11:17After a day like today, all I want is for you to pour me a rum.
11:22A large one.
11:23All right.
11:24The Christmas rum coming out early this year.
11:26Seb.
11:27Your inspector.
11:31Is he usually right about this kind of thing?
11:3499.9% of the time.
11:37So someone did murder Sylvie.
11:39Hmm.
11:41But who?
11:42I don't know.
11:44But it couldn't have been anybody at the church, right?
11:47So maybe Sylvie had things going on in her life that we don't know about.
11:53But, Mum, I promise you, whatever it is, we'll figure it out.
11:58All right.
12:04I know this hasn't played out how we expected, but I had to do what I had to do.
12:10No, I'm not coming back yet.
12:12Not until I've got what I came for.
12:30Finish your breakfast.
12:39You're welcome.
12:48Oh!
12:52Commissioner, you made me jump.
12:54Good morning, Inspector.
12:56Good morning.
12:57This arrived for me in the morning post.
13:03It's from your victim.
13:08Mrs. Godwin saw me on the local news covering the recent police initiative event.
13:14She said she could tell I wanted to put things right.
13:18And that's what she also needed to do, right or wrong.
13:23But she didn't say what that was?
13:25Only that whatever it was, was of a criminal nature and had something to do with St. Vincent's Church.
13:33There is a dark secret that has been buried for too long, and it's time the truth came out.
13:40It was posted on Saturday morning.
13:45And 24 hours later, she was dead.
13:52Well, this gets more interesting by the minute.
13:54How much is in Mrs. Godwin's bank account?
13:57$2,463,000.
14:02What?
14:02You sure about that?
14:04Like, seriously?
14:06Seriously.
14:07Well, new primary school headteachers earn so much.
14:10I requested statements that go further back.
14:12All I have is the last five years, and the money was already in the account.
14:16The victim's husband, Walter, is it? What did he do for a living?
14:19Mr. Walter Godwin. He was a caretaker at the same school that Mrs. Godwin worked at.
14:24I think that's where they first met.
14:25So it's not likely to be his money.
14:27Hmm. Do we know anything about her family?
14:29Yeah. Mrs. Godwin told me once her parents were farmers.
14:32They definitely weren't rich.
14:34So she didn't inherit it?
14:36Could the money have something to do with the crime she talks about in this letter?
14:39The one connected to St. Vincent's?
14:41Officer Rose, give your mum a call. See if it sparks a memory or something, yeah?
14:45Cool. But all of this is a bit odd.
14:48Because it's nothing like Mrs. Godwin.
14:50I mean, $2 million? That's crazy.
14:53She wasn't that kind of person.
14:55Once we're done here, we're going to go and search Mrs. Godwin's house.
14:59Also, we've emailed everyone on the St. Vincent's weekly newsletter to see if any of the parishioners saw anything suspicious
15:05yesterday.
15:06Okay, thank you.
15:08Sir, that was the solicitor handling Sylvie Godwin's will.
15:13It seems Mrs. Godwin has left everything to Hector Moyse.
15:19Wow. So this guy's just become a millionaire?
15:23It appears so, sir.
15:25What do we know about him?
15:26He's a fisherman. Or was.
15:28But he hasn't worked for the last 18 months or so due to an injury out at sea.
15:34So if he's had no income for almost two years, then then two million is going to come in very
15:40handy.
15:45I don't know either. It's all a bit crazy right now.
15:49Mum, I'll speak to you later. I've got to go.
15:51I'll leave you to his inspector.
15:53No worries, Commissioner.
15:54Sir, I just got off the phone to my mother and she has no idea what Sylvie Godwin was talking
15:59about in that letter.
16:00Well, if anything else comes to mind you, let me know, yeah?
16:02Alright.
16:04Where are they going?
16:06To interview Hector Moyse. He's a possible suspect now.
16:10Hector? A suspect?
16:12He's a good guy. He wouldn't kill anybody, let alone Sylvie Godwin. She was like a mother to him.
16:17Well, these are the questions we have to ask. It's what we do, without fear or favour, remember?
16:28That used to be my boat. There. Spent more time to get on me and her than anyone else.
16:36And then, some doctor you don't even know, writes a certificate saying you can do it no more.
16:45Well, how are your finances? Now you're not working.
16:48I'm struggling.
16:49Alright.
16:49No one wants to employ a guy who only knows how to do one thing in his life.
16:55Yeah, but that will change us now, doesn't it?
16:58Excuse me? What?
16:59Mr Moyse, you inherit the bulk of Sylvie Godwin's estate and don't tell us you didn't know.
17:04Her solicitor told us Mrs Godwin informed you when she made the will a few years back.
17:09Yeah, I knew. But she got hardly nothing, just her house, which is a few tens of thousands.
17:14You think I'd kill for that?
17:16You're telling us she didn't let you know what was in her will?
17:18No.
17:19Why?
17:22It's more than just her house.
17:242.4 million dollars more.
17:28I'm sorry, what?
17:31Is this a joke?
17:32Funny how things turn out, eh?
17:33Yeah.
17:34I didn't know she had that kind of money. I swear to you, she never mentioned a word to me
17:38about it.
17:39Look, I get it. I get how it looks to you. I need money. Badly, I'm desperate. But I had
17:46no idea Sylvie was loaded like that. So why would I kill her?
18:01No.
18:05No.
18:08No.
18:08No.
18:08No, you do that and I'll do this.
18:10Cool.
18:16Well, it seems to be working.
18:18So I noticed your dad wasn't around yesterday. If you don't mind me asking, is he...
18:25Yeah, he, um, he passed away.
18:29I'm so sorry.
18:30How old were you?
18:33Eleven.
18:35That's so young.
18:36It must have been hard.
18:39Really hard, you know?
18:42Yeah.
18:43My first lesson in pain.
18:46But seeing my mother rise up every morning after that,
18:51that showed me what true love looks like, you know?
18:55Made us closer.
18:56A team.
18:57You can tell.
19:09The Belchard diptych?
19:11You know what a diptych is?
19:13Yeah.
19:13It's, um, used to measure oil in the car.
19:16You know, you dip it in, take it out.
19:18I said diptych.
19:19You're trying to say dipstick, right?
19:22Diptych?
19:22A painting or a carving on two panels
19:24usually hinge like a book.
19:27Oh, you mean diptych?
19:29Yeah, man, me know about diptych and them things, yeah?
19:31Well, apparently this Belchard diptych is rare.
19:35Priceless kind of rare.
19:37Yeah?
19:38Why was Sylvie interested in this?
19:44Let's check her search history.
19:50Why watch her?
19:52She searched the hell out of it.
19:54This was three days ago.
19:56Friday, the day before she posted that lesson to the commissioner.
20:04The Belchard diptych is a rare French panel painting from the Middle Ages.
20:09Each panel measures 50 by 30 centimeters.
20:12Rare.
20:13So it's worth some coinage?
20:14Hmm.
20:15It's worth major coinage.
20:17If anybody could find it, it went missing from France during the Second World War.
20:20And here it is.
20:22It's believed the diptych was taken from a museum in Paris by a young German soldier called Joseph Krauss.
20:29They reckon he brought that same painting over here to the Caribbean.
20:32When the Vichy government sent a new governor to Martigny, Krauss and a couple of other German soldiers accompanied him.
20:40And what happened to it when he came here?
20:43Why, I don't know.
20:45But Joseph Krauss, he fled the region when the war finished and the painting never resurfaced.
20:50And some historians believe that Krauss hid the Belchard diptych on one of the smaller neighboring islands, like St. Marie.
20:59Right, so our victim was looking into this Belchard diptych and the next day sent a letter to the commissioner
21:06saying she wanted to put right a wrong that took place many years before at St. Vincent's Church.
21:11And 24 hours later, Sylvie was murdered in the church with both doors locked from the inside.
21:18She also had over $2 million in her bank account and we've no idea how she got that money.
21:24But if she came into possession of this painting, then maybe that could explain why she ended up so rich.
21:33OK, let's keep digging, yeah?
21:36And DS Thomas, get in touch with the commissioner.
21:38Because if there's any truth in it, this could be a big deal.
21:54Everything all right?
21:58It's just like, first Hector, then Mrs. Godwin.
22:03It's all, it's all a bit much right now.
22:09Sylvie was all about doing the right thing.
22:12You should have said so.
22:13No, because it's like you said, right?
22:15Without fear or favor.
22:17So it's not right me defending her, is it?
22:20Even if I know it's the truth.
22:23Seb, if this case is too close to home, it's OK to take a step back.
22:27No, it's cool, Sarge.
22:28It's cool.
22:29I really want to help get to the bottom of this.
22:32For Sylvie.
22:34You're sure?
22:35Yeah.
22:36Good.
22:36All right, then I'll see you tomorrow morning, yeah?
22:39All right.
22:40Take care of yourself.
22:45All right, thanks for letting me know, Mrs. Martin.
22:48You have yourself a good evening.
22:53Sir, that was one of the parishioners from St. Vincent's.
22:57Received the email we sent out asking if anyone saw anything suspicious yesterday.
23:01Mm-hmm.
23:02Says she saw a woman outside the church yesterday morning, parked up in a hire car.
23:07Never seen her at St. Vincent's before.
23:09Description?
23:09It was a silver vehicle with logos for Kariba car hire.
23:14The woman looked in her 50s with shoulder-length blonde hair.
23:19Not much of a tan, apparently.
23:21So with the hire car, maybe not a local?
23:25Yeah, it's me again.
23:26Sir, who is she?
23:27I'm telling you, the police haven't found it yet.
23:29I watched two officers leaving her house, both of them carrying evidence,
23:32and they didn't have it with them.
23:36So where's it got to?
23:37I know a little of the history of the Belshow diptyque, but how or why that connects to Sylvie Godwin,
23:45I don't know.
23:47But I shall ask her own.
23:49Evening all.
23:51Um, sorry I'm late.
23:54I had a prior arrangement with a bloke called Barry.
23:58Who, might I ask, is Barry?
24:00It's funny you should ask that.
24:02Well, Barry is a retired expat who's returning to the UK to be with his grandchildren.
24:07So he's selling off a bunch of stuff online.
24:08So I got myself this beauty.
24:12And what is that, sir?
24:14This is the answer to Catherine's prayers.
24:17Not that she knows yet.
24:18What is the answer to my prayers?
24:21Oh, Catherine.
24:21Well, it's the one thing that's missing from your place.
24:35It's a dark boy.
24:37I can see that.
24:39You see, the thing is, Domino's is all well and good.
24:41But for a boozer to be a proper boozer...
24:43Pardon, but this is not a boozer.
24:46A pub.
24:47Or a pub.
24:48But whatever this establishment wants to call itself, with this on your wall, it can only enhance the communal vibe.
24:55No, we're not an English-themed sports bar.
24:59It's not going up.
25:01Yeah, but Catherine...
25:02I said no.
25:03Just imagine...
25:04Mervyn, my final word.
25:06No.
25:07No.
25:19It seems you are now the proud owner of your very own dark boy.
25:25Ha, ha, ha, ha.
25:27Eh.
25:35I'll have it much to me right now in the moment, you know?
25:37I know it is, my love.
25:39I know.
25:44Whoa, Mum, what's this?
25:46What?
25:47Huh?
25:47Seb, sweetheart, this isn't, um...
25:51Seb, you weren't supposed to...
25:53Good evening, Sebastian.
25:55You all right?
25:56Me?
25:57Are you all right?
25:58What's this?
25:59Huh?
25:59What's going on?
26:00Because it look like...
26:01Are you...
26:02I...
26:03I guess you could say we've been getting close, the two of us.
26:07Right.
26:08Since when?
26:09Well, um...
26:10Since...
26:12I suppose...
26:13Since, um...
26:15What would you say, Lorette?
26:16How long's it been?
26:17I suppose we could say, um...
26:19It's been...
26:20A year.
26:21A year?
26:23A year, Ma?
26:24And you never once thought to mention it to me.
26:26Oh, Hector.
26:28I'm so sorry.
26:29Could you...
26:29Could you give us a moment, please?
26:30Actually, I need to be getting home anyway, sir.
26:35Sorry you had to find out like this, Sebastian.
26:37I should have...
26:39We should have too.
26:43Sorry.
26:56I wanted to tell you, but I...
26:58I was too scared.
27:00Of how I'd react?
27:02No.
27:03So then what?
27:05See?
27:07It is because of that.
27:08No, no.
27:09Really, it's not that.
27:10A whole year, Ma.
27:12A whole year you've been lying to me.
27:17You know...
27:18In the last 24 hours...
27:21It turns out...
27:23Not one person...
27:25Is who I thought they were.
27:28But I never thought you would be one of them.
27:34I need some air.
27:53Good morning, Inspector.
27:56Good morning, Inspector.
27:56Dear Thomas.
27:56Inheritance?
27:57Oh, well...
27:59I mean, okay.
28:00That's interesting.
28:02All right, well, thanks.
28:04And also, I wanted to know...
28:05So, when was...
28:07What the...
28:08Oh, one second, sir.
28:12Good morning, Inspector.
28:13Sarge.
28:14Sarge.
28:15What's going on, sir?
28:16Well, I went on our walk last night and I ended up here.
28:20So I thought I'd come and start on the case.
28:22Can we...
28:23Oh, yes, sure, sorry, sorry.
28:26Yes, sir, sir.
28:28Oh, sorry.
28:29Oh, no, sir.
28:30Oh, sorry.
28:31Yes, yes, come on, yes.
28:33So, um, I'm just on the phone with Sylvie Godwin's bank manager.
28:37And interestingly, the 2.4 million in her account,
28:40she inherited it from her husband, Walter Godwin.
28:43The bank manager says she don't know where he got it from
28:45or how Walter got so rich.
28:47It was Walter's money.
28:49Yeah, and unfortunately,
28:50the liar who was handling Walter's will
28:52is no longer her own.
28:54So, that's all I got.
28:55Why is there a post-it with post-mortem exclamation mark written on it?
28:59Oh, the post-mortem just came in.
29:01It's here somewhere.
29:02Got it.
29:03Under the takeaway.
29:04I will clear that up for you as soon as possible, Sarge.
29:07Sorry about that.
29:07Why is there a pack of toilet roll on my desk?
29:10That's why I went for the walk in the first place.
29:12My new hostmate was like...
29:14Don't forget the toilet roll.
29:16Heem says the victim became unconscious and died of hypoxia
29:20and reckoned she was hit with something with a sharp edge
29:23rather than banging her head on the floor.
29:27So, we're right.
29:27It was murder.
29:29What are all these printouts on the floor, sir?
29:31Oh, that's from Kariba Carhire.
29:34They sent the details of the woman who was seen outside
29:36St. Vincent Church the morning of the murder.
29:38Selena Bascombe, 54 years old, from the UK, Berkshire,
29:43arrived here Friday and is staying at the Golden Bay Hotel.
29:47Yeah, yeah, I think she's just a tourist.
29:48There's nothing interesting about her yet.
29:50Well, then you didn't look properly, Seb,
29:52because on her passport, she uses her maiden name.
29:58Godwin.
30:00As in Sylvie and Walter Godwin.
30:02How did I miss that, sir?
30:04We need to talk to her right away.
30:06Talking Fletcher.
30:09Yeah, sorry about that.
30:10Hello?
30:11Hello?
30:28Seb, this is cool.
30:29You're trying to move the case, huh?
30:31But your head is pinging around all over the place.
30:34It's close to chaos in there.
30:36I understand what it looks like, Sarge,
30:37but I've been up all night doing a lot of work,
30:40and I feel like I'm very close to...
30:41I think you should go home, OK?
30:43Have a shower.
30:44Get yourself straight.
30:45But, Sarge, I need to finish...
30:46I know, I know, but you're not helping right now.
30:50We can't work like this.
30:55All right, Sarge.
30:56Go ahead.
31:05Thanks for coming in, Miss Bascombe.
31:07Please, take a seat.
31:08Walter Godwin was my grandfather.
31:11He was stationed on St. Marie during the Second World War.
31:15When the war ended, he wrote to my grandmother,
31:20who was pregnant with my father at the time,
31:22saying that he wasn't coming home,
31:24that it was over between them.
31:26And he knew she was pregnant?
31:28Yes, except I don't think it was him who wrote that letter.
31:33I think it was someone else.
31:34Um, I found this on the St. Vincent's Church website.
31:40It's the day that Walter Godwin got married to Sylvie.
31:45Well, that's Sylvie.
31:47But that's not Walter Godwin.
31:50That's not my grandfather, see?
31:51That's not the same man.
31:59So, you realised that someone
32:02might have stolen your grandfather's identity?
32:05I know they did.
32:07And you came here to St. Marie
32:09to find out who this other Walter Godwin was?
32:12That's why you were at the church Sunday morning,
32:15to speak with Sylvie Godwin.
32:20Mrs Godwin?
32:25So, how did she react when you suggested
32:28that the man who she'd been married to for 60-odd years
32:31may not be who she thought he was?
32:33She already knew.
32:36She said that she'd only just found out herself that week.
32:41How?
32:42Well, her plumber had found a box
32:44hidden under the floorboards
32:46when he was fixing a pipe.
32:47I'll find out which plumber.
32:50Sylvie said it had the true identity of her husband in it,
32:54all his personal documents,
32:56making clear what happened to my grandfather.
32:59Which was what?
33:02She wouldn't tell me.
33:04She said that she wasn't ready yet
33:06and that she wanted to do it in her own time
33:09and in her own way,
33:12whatever that meant.
33:15I think it meant she wanted to go to the police first about it.
33:19Which must have frustrated you,
33:20coming all this way to be denied the truth.
33:22It is my family!
33:24You have no right to keep this to yourself!
33:26I'm sorry.
33:27I can't help you.
33:31And in that moment,
33:32caught up in it all,
33:33that's when you must have decided...
33:34No, no.
33:35No.
33:36I wouldn't, really.
33:37I wouldn't.
33:38I just left.
33:40I was angry,
33:41but I didn't want to hurt her.
33:42I just wanted to know what was in that box.
33:45And now she's dead
33:47and I don't know where it is.
33:57So, if Sylvie had this box she talked about,
34:01where is it?
34:03Because it wasn't at the crime scene
34:04and it wasn't at her house.
34:06And if someone did steal Water Godwin's identity,
34:09who?
34:10And what happened to the real Water Godwin?
34:12I just got off the phone with a plumber
34:14who was over at the victim's house last Friday,
34:16said Sylvie looked haunted
34:18after she looked inside that box.
34:24About an hour later,
34:26she was getting inside a taxi
34:27saying she needed to go to St Vincent's Primary School.
34:34She went to see Yasmin Seeley.
34:38OK, I'm going to lay it out, Miss Seeley.
34:42I believe it's you who has the missing box.
34:45Sylvie's.
34:47We could get a search warrant, or...
35:06It's a German passport.
35:09From the Second World War, it looks like.
35:12Belonged to...
35:13Joseph Krauss.
35:14It's believed the diptych
35:16was taken from a museum in Paris
35:18by a young German soldier
35:19called Joseph Krauss.
35:21The last visa stamp shows
35:22he left Martinique at the end of the war
35:24and came to St Marie.
35:29St Marie Times,
35:31September 27th, 1945.
35:34It's a report about an unnamed British soldier
35:38getting into a fight with a group of German naval officers
35:41and left for dead near St Vincent's church.
35:45His body was never found.
35:46I believe that soldier was Walter Godwin
35:48and I think Joseph Krauss came across his body.
35:54Joseph realised he could steal his identity
35:56if he could dispose of the body without it being found.
36:01A map of the St Vincent churchyard.
36:05That must be where the real Walter Godwin was buried.
36:09He took Walter's uniform and papers
36:11and buried him there.
36:13in this grave
36:14so no-one would ever find it.
36:16From that moment on,
36:18Joseph Krauss was...
36:19Walter Godwin.
36:20I guess he softened his accent as much as he could
36:23and by the time he and Sylvie met,
36:25about 15 years later,
36:27and he seemed like the Englishman she thought he was.
36:29We need to get a forensic victim over from Guadalupe.
36:37I'm assuming Mr Krauss
36:39went to all these lengths because of this?
36:42The Belshaw diptych.
36:44I mean, if the authorities worked out he stole it
36:46and came looking for him,
36:48then with a new identity,
36:50they wouldn't find him.
36:51From what I know,
36:52he lived a simple life,
36:53working as a caretaker for this school.
36:56And when he and Sylvie met,
36:58everyone always said
36:59they truly loved each other.
37:03That was the day she retired.
37:05Handed the baton over to me.
37:09Why have you got this box, Miss Sylvie?
37:14Sylvie brought it with her
37:15when she came here on Friday.
37:17I asked her if I could keep it
37:18so I could look into it some more.
37:19That's all.
37:20It's entirely innocent.
37:21Not if you didn't tell us about it, it isn't.
37:24Actually, that's suspicious.
37:26Why did you choose to keep it to yourself?
37:33The school is everything to me.
37:37And I can't risk his reputation being damaged.
37:41He's struggling enough as it is, financially.
37:44All we have to keep going is donations,
37:47people's goodwill.
37:48And if it ever got out
37:49that we had a caretaker working here
37:51that wasn't who we thought he was,
37:53was a Nazi soldier who covered up a murder.
38:00So you killed Miss Godwin to stop all this?
38:02No, no, no.
38:03I'm very sorry.
38:05I should have told you about it.
38:06I know, but...
38:09I didn't kill her.
38:18So if Joseph Krause sold the Belshazz diptych
38:21and had all that money,
38:23then why he never do nothing with it?
38:26Never spend it, nothing.
38:28Perhaps he kept it just in case.
38:30I mean, if the truth ever caught up with him,
38:32then he had the means to change his identity again.
38:38Afternoon, Sergeant Thomas.
38:41The trouble is,
38:43we're still no closer to working out
38:44who murdered Sylvie Godwin
38:46and then managed to exit the building
38:48when both the front and back door were locked
38:51from the inside with keys inside the lock.
38:57He's buried here.
38:59My grandfather.
39:01We believe so, yes.
39:20Officer Rose.
39:22Inspector.
39:23Hey.
39:26Sorry, I'll just take a moment, you know.
39:31I'll give you some space.
39:33No, no, no.
39:33No, you're all right.
39:35I was just coming in to see if I could
39:37make any more sense of it all.
39:39Me too, I guess.
39:41And?
39:42Not much.
39:45Usually,
39:46I find
39:48it levels me out.
39:50I can feel peace here.
39:55Sorry I haven't been much use in this investigation.
39:58It's just been a lot for me, you know.
39:59I mean, look, we all have cases that throw us off balance
40:03from time to time.
40:04When I've had more than my fair share, trust me.
40:06Right.
40:07See, when I'm thrown by a kiss, my brain just starts jumping around like some itchy footed grasshopper, you know?
40:20Well,
40:23maybe that is your unique selling point.
40:26So I'd say embrace it.
40:29Own it.
40:31Don't let it own you.
40:33In fact, you know what?
40:35Let's try it.
40:36Let's try it right now, yeah?
40:37Oh.
40:38Well, we visualise it.
40:40Only this time, you are taking the lead.
40:43OK, come on.
40:44Up you get.
40:44That's it.
40:47OK.
40:49This is the crime scene.
40:51The murder of Sylvie Godwin.
40:54That door, the front door, is locked from the inside.
40:58The key's in the door.
41:03Sylvie's body is here.
41:06This big wooden cross is on top of her.
41:11Now, come on.
41:14Just freestyle it, yeah?
41:15Just say whatever your brain wants to say.
41:17Um, I'm thinking about when I busted the door open.
41:22I hurt my arm, you know?
41:24When I got home, it was all bruised up.
41:26So I drank some rum to numb the pain.
41:32Well, that also means it was definitely locked.
41:38OK, OK.
41:40What else?
41:41Well then, if you were the killer,
41:43you'd probably prefer to leave the scene at the back.
41:47Yeah, yeah.
41:48Keep going.
41:48Keep going.
41:49So that way you're less likely to be seen by others.
41:51So, um, maybe we're in the wrong room.
41:56The back room.
41:57Come on.
42:06So, what's she saying to you?
42:08This room, what's it telling you?
42:13Hmm.
42:14What?
42:15Collection box.
42:17It's just, usually, it sits right there, under the shelf.
42:22Now it looks like it's been pulled out a little bit.
42:30It's a kind, isn't it?
42:32And that's odd, because...
42:34Because Miss Godwin empties the collection box
42:36every Sunday after the service.
42:39Today's collection passed down.
42:41And she gives the money to my mum.
42:47So, this must have been put in there after she was murdered.
42:52Which means, well then, the killer must have put it there.
42:56That won't go in.
42:59The key's in on the other side.
43:04PM says the victim became unconscious
43:07and reckoned she was hit by something with a sharp edge.
43:12Diptic.
43:12A painting or a carving on two panels usually hinge like a book.
43:16Local art historians generally believe
43:19it was brought to St. Marie.
43:27Bingo.
43:30Have you solved the case?
43:32It was actually Officer Rose
43:34and his itchy footy grass upper brain that solved it.
43:37I did.
43:38That coin explains everything.
43:41OK, let's move, people.
43:42There's still some things we need to do.
43:44Like, get hold of a search warrant.
43:46And we need the luminol.
43:47Oh, and we need a tape measure.
43:49Why do we need a tape measure?
43:52To measure something.
44:00Way back in 1945,
44:03a young British soldier by the name of Walter Godwin
44:06was killed here on St. Marie.
44:09His identity was stolen
44:10and his body was hidden in someone else's grave.
44:14Now, finally, thanks to Sylvie Godwin
44:18and the discovery of this box,
44:21that young man can get the proper burial he deserves.
44:26Which brings us to the crime in the present.
44:30Sylvie Godwin's murder at St. Vincent's Church on Sunday.
44:34And although it occurred many years after Walter Godwin's murder,
44:37this little wooden box and its contents
44:39helped solve this murder as well.
44:43We know from the post-mortem
44:45that Sylvie was hit with a sharp object.
44:47This spray, luminol,
44:49it takes traces of blood.
44:50And this proves
44:51that there was blood on the box recently,
44:54as you can see here.
44:59Now, we haven't had the time
45:01to carry out the relevant tests,
45:03but when our lab compares this blood
45:05with Sylvie's,
45:06I'm confident they'll match.
45:08And as this box has only been
45:10in one person's possession since the murder,
45:12it has led me to believe
45:14that Sylvie Godwin's killer
45:15was
45:17Yasmin Seeley.
45:22What have you done?
45:25That's not true.
45:27Someone else must have taken it on them.
45:30Don't worry, Miss Seeley.
45:32We'll be coming to this in a minute.
45:36Throughout this case,
45:38we've worked on the assumption
45:39that Sylvie Godwin's husband,
45:41real name Joseph Krauss,
45:43had sold the painting he had stolen,
45:46which explains why he had so much money
45:48in his bank account.
45:49Well, it's half the truth,
45:51because
45:52the unique defining thing
45:54about a diptych
45:55is that there are two halves to it.
45:58Diptych?
45:58A painting or a carving on two panels
46:01usually hinge like a book.
46:02And we now know
46:04that Joseph Krauss
46:05sold only one half
46:07of the Belshaw diptych,
46:10and he kept the other half.
46:19Witness me.
46:21Now,
46:22we'll never fully know why
46:24Joseph separated the two panels.
46:26My sense is that he was someone
46:28who liked to hedge his bets,
46:30be prepared for all eventualities.
46:32I think that's partly why
46:33he never spent any of the money.
46:36Plus,
46:37having to explain to his wife-to-be
46:39how he came into such
46:40major coinage
46:41would mean admitting
46:43to the theft of this
46:44famous piece of art
46:46and also being an imposter.
46:48So,
46:48Joseph held on to the money
46:50and the picture.
46:52So,
46:53where has it been
46:54the last 80 odd years or so?
46:57Hanging on the wall
46:58of the headmistress's office
47:00at the St. Vincent's Primary School,
47:02which is now
47:04your office,
47:06Miss Seeley.
47:10Joseph Krauss must have
47:12put it there
47:13during his years
47:14as caretaker.
47:14And no one ever thought
47:16anything of it.
47:17This faded
47:19religious icon
47:20hanging on the wall
47:22of a church school
47:23surrounded by
47:24other religious images.
47:26Earlier today,
47:27Miss Seeley,
47:28when we talked
47:29in your office,
47:30That was the day
47:31she retired.
47:32I saw that framed photo
47:33on the wall
47:34of Sylvie and Walter
47:35and I happened to notice
47:37the outline
47:38of a larger rectangle
47:39around that frame
47:40where the paint
47:41hadn't faded.
47:42Clearly,
47:43another picture
47:44had previously
47:45hung there
47:45for some time.
47:46I didn't think
47:47much of it at first,
47:49but I had it measured.
47:51And guess what?
47:52It was 50 centimetres
47:54by 30 centimetres.
47:56The exact same dimensions
47:58as one half
47:59of the Belshaw diptych.
48:01Each panel measures
48:0250 by 30 centimetres.
48:04That's why
48:05Mrs. Godwin
48:06came to see you
48:07when she found the box
48:09and realised
48:10what was hanging
48:11on her old office wall.
48:14We can't keep it.
48:16I've got to let
48:17the police know.
48:18But you didn't agree,
48:20did you?
48:20You told us
48:22your school
48:22was struggling
48:23for money,
48:24but we had a bit
48:25of a dig,
48:26and it's worse
48:28worse than that.
48:29You've not drawn
48:31a salary
48:31in the last six months
48:33to keep it going.
48:34You said yourself
48:35the place
48:36meant so much to you.
48:38And so the prospect
48:39of getting millions
48:40of dollars
48:41just landing
48:42in your lap,
48:44well,
48:44you just weren't
48:45willing to give
48:46that up.
48:47And so,
48:49after driving home
48:50to pick up food
48:51for Lorette's
48:52lunch gathering,
48:53you returned
48:54to the church
48:55to plead with Sylvie
48:56one more time.
48:57Please don't do it.
48:59That money,
49:01it could help
49:02the school so much.
49:03It could help me.
49:04But Sylvie
49:05wasn't for turning,
49:06was she?
49:06I'm desperate.
49:08As Officer Rose said,
49:09she always tried
49:10to do good in life,
49:12and she wasn't
49:12about to stop now.
49:14Sorry.
49:15So in that moment,
49:16Desire for the money
49:17got the better of you,
49:18and you decided
49:19you were gonna stop her.
49:21I assume Sylvie
49:21had that box
49:22with her in the church
49:23that day.
49:25And this box
49:26was your weapon of choice.
49:30And once you used it
49:31to kill her,
49:32you made it look like
49:33there'd been some
49:34tragic accident.
49:43How could you?
49:46Now,
49:48knowing that the
49:48front door of the church
49:50had already been locked
49:50by Mrs. Godwin,
49:52you made your escape
49:53via the rear,
49:54using the church's
49:55spare backdoor key
49:56that you took
49:58from the back room
49:59to lock the door
50:00from the outside,
50:02and placing
50:04this little coin
50:05in the lock.
50:13It's locked.
50:14so that when you returned
50:15with Officer Rose
50:16and Lorette...
50:17That won't go in.
50:18...and with the little
50:19play acting,
50:20it would seem like
50:21the door was locked
50:22from the inside.
50:23The key's in
50:24on the other side.
50:26Then when Officer Rose
50:27and his mum
50:27headed round to the front,
50:29you lingered briefly
50:30and proceeded to open the door
50:32with the church's spare key,
50:34pushing this coin out
50:36in the process
50:36and then inserting
50:38that key
50:40inside.
50:42All you had to do
50:43was find the moment
50:44to actually lock it.
50:46OK, thank you.
50:49I mean,
50:49it's as hard as to be.
50:52Seeing the coin
50:53on the floor,
50:54you picked it up
50:57and without
50:58your bag
50:59or purse,
51:01you disposed
51:02of it
51:03in the collection box
51:07and then actually
51:09locked the back door
51:10with the key.
51:13It was very clever of you,
51:16making it look like
51:17Sylvie was on her own
51:18in the church
51:19when she had that fatal fall.
51:21One might say
51:22devilishly so.
51:24But you see,
51:25Sylvie was so determined
51:27that the truth
51:28would come out
51:28that even after her death,
51:30her desire to
51:31put right
51:32a decades-old wrong
51:34finally won out.
51:35This arrived for me
51:37in the morning post.
51:43Officer Rose,
51:45I think Mr. Rest
51:46has your name on it.
51:51Get up.
51:55He has me, Sylvie.
51:56I'm arresting you
51:57for the murder
51:58of Sylvie,
51:59Godwin.
52:00You don't need to say anything.
52:01You don't need to be
52:02under the fence
52:02and you don't need to.
52:03Christian, son.
52:04I'm sure you don't need to.
52:06I'm sure you don't need to.
52:10I'm not going to.
52:10Excuse me, Serge.
52:11I'll be a second.
52:14See you later.
52:17There.
52:17I'm pretty.
52:19Mom.
52:26You all right?
52:28I can't believe what that woman's done. Poor Sylvie. And just for money?
52:38I'm sorry for getting it wrong. You haven't seen me at my best on this case.
52:44That's not what your inspector told me. He said it was because of you that it all got solved.
52:52Which is even more impressive considering you had other things to deal with.
52:56Like your mother keeping secrets.
52:59And honestly mom, I think it's helping. You moving on.
53:04I don't think you should be getting old and lonely.
53:07And just focusing on me and the church you know.
53:10You deserve happiness too.
53:16You alright?
53:17Yes I.
53:21So, you like him?
53:26Then I'm pleased for you.
53:28But, you do know that all that money he inherited from the stolen painting.
53:33You won't be getting none of that you know.
53:34I'm not asking for his money.
53:37Well seriously though.
53:39I mean, he seems like a good guy.
53:42With him shiny head.
53:46See you Sunday.
53:48You won't be late this time.
53:52Try my best.
53:53Hmm.
53:56Love you.
53:57Love you too.
54:10Alright.
54:11That's the hockey.
54:12This is where you throw from.
54:15You get three throws each.
54:16And then it's the next players turn.
54:18Alright.
54:19Let's get it started.
54:21Game on.
54:23Round one.
54:28Shut you.
54:29I thought you were supposed to hit the board, Inspector.
54:32Yeah, yeah.
54:33I think there's something off with the flyer.
54:34It's alright.
54:34Not to worry.
54:35We got this, sir.
54:41Sir, you are really bad at this.
54:43No, it's not me.
54:44Honestly.
54:45It's the dance.
54:46You know you're giving off some real bad loser vibes right now.
54:48Maybe.
54:49You should let the commissioner take the last throw.
54:51It's not his turn yet.
54:53With respect.
54:54Now if you just stop talking, then I can throw properly.
54:57Alright?
55:04There you go.
55:07So...
55:09So...
55:11That's two points, is it?
55:18Just two points for our team?
55:22I'm just a bit rusty, that's all.
55:25You want to join our team, Commissioner?
55:26No.
55:27I mean, I don't think any of us are going to be as bad as that.
55:30Ha ha!
55:31Ha ha!
55:32Ha ha!
55:33Ha ha ha!
55:35Oh.
55:38Never mind.
55:39You didn't expect that.
55:41Alright.
55:42Well, come on then, Officer Rose.
55:44You reckon you can do better?
55:45Show us what you've got.
55:46Jump for joy!
55:49Clap your hands!
55:52Jump for joy!
55:55Shake your hands!
55:58Ladies and gentlemen of The Tempest Company, this is your 15-minute call.
56:01This was their final performance.
56:03It suddenly collapsed halfway through the second...
56:05The poison was in the bottle that our victim and the other two actors drank from on stage.
56:09But only Michael Farrah dies.
56:11Would you like to go for a drink with me?
56:12That's inappropriate, Mr. Gorman.
56:14A complaint has been made accusing you of unprofessional conduct.
56:18Still haven't heard from your brother?
56:20I think he's actually ignoring my cause.
56:22Then maybe you should go visit him in Antica.
56:24Somebody's giving the inspector some hair!
56:26Hehehe!
