00:01Jeans down.
00:03Relax your faces.
00:06In Paris, we say, you don't take a photograph.
00:10You create it.
00:12Okay?
00:14You're really into this.
00:17Just makes a change to be in a photo where my head won't get cut off.
00:21Every family photo ever.
00:23You see me from the shoulders down.
00:25Shall we try your hand on your hip?
00:31Less like you've stepped on a sea urchin.
00:34More like you just heard the rums on the house.
00:40Morning, Commissioner.
00:42Where is Inspector Wilson?
00:46We did try, sir.
00:48He said he's only here short term, so didn't think it was his place.
00:53Also, apparently football is on.
00:55And presumably, the prime rate drops every time his team plays.
01:02One can only hope, sir.
01:04The whole point of this initiative is to make the wider community feel that we are all in this for
01:14them.
01:14to strengthen their trust in us.
01:19How are we going to begin to do that when our senior detective can't be bothered to turn up for
01:27a team photograph?
01:29He better make it to the launch this evening.
01:33Um, I should get that.
01:36Excuse me, sir.
01:42Come on.
01:44Just give me the second half.
01:46It's not even a big game.
01:48PHONE RINGS
02:00PHONE RINGS
02:01Is that all you came here for?
02:03No.
02:03There's been a shooting up in the hills.
02:10PHONE RINGS
02:14Stupid island.
02:18The victim's name is Henry Ashby, originally from the UK, moved to St Marie ten years ago.
02:24What else do we know?
02:26His neighbour, Fleur Edwards, and her gardener, Baxter Turton, heard the shot around 10.30.
02:32When they arrived, the doors were wide open, and they saw someone on a white moped speeding off through the
02:38trees.
02:39Miss Edwards said she saw the same moped outside the house last night.
02:43Even got her registration number.
02:44Sergeant Fletcher is on the case.
02:47Oh.
02:48There's mud on the floor.
02:51No sign of a forced entry.
02:55So, either the victim let the killer in,
02:59or the killer let themself in from the garden,
03:02shot Henry,
03:03and pegged it back the same way.
03:05That's a serious tattoo, boss.
03:08Do I feel like I've seen it somewhere before?
03:11Yeah, it's Pegasus.
03:12Oh!
03:13The flying horse mutant thing.
03:15Something like that.
03:16And the bloke riding him is Bellerophon.
03:18He's part of the parachute regiment in Sydney.
03:20A mate of mine had one.
03:21He said the army trained him for anything.
03:25Which is why he now runs a soft plane Croydon.
03:30Yeah, he might be a military man, so let's check that out, shall we?
03:35Ten years on this island, and not even a vase in the gaff.
03:38A big read as all.
03:41Yeah.
03:42Man had a lot of books.
03:48Interesting.
03:49What is?
03:50This is a meticulously organised library.
03:53And he's filed his books alphabetically by author.
03:57Reading's never really been my thing, you know.
03:59But if I have to read a book,
04:01I usually start at the last page first.
04:04You know what I mean?
04:05Swerve the sad endings.
04:07Hang on.
04:08There's one missing.
04:10This section is Charles Dickens' novels.
04:14Pickwick Papers,
04:16Our Mutual Friend David Copperfield, etc.
04:19There's one missing.
04:22Which one is it?
04:25I think it's Taylor Two Cities.
04:27Yeah, it's definitely Taylor Two Cities.
04:29Where can that have got to?
04:31Officer Rose, check the bedside table, yeah?
04:35He might have lent it to someone.
04:37Or even lost it.
04:39Maybe.
04:42Nothing in the bedroom, sir.
04:52I was taking up my boots.
04:54Then we both heard it.
04:56It's terrifying.
04:58I could feel it in my bones something awful had happened.
05:01We rushed straight over, but...
05:03We were too late.
05:04Next thing I know, I heard ties kicking up dirt.
05:08Couldn't get a look at the registration plate,
05:10but they were wearing a helmet and a black top.
05:15And you said you think you saw the same moped last night?
05:18I'm often up working late.
05:20From my studio I can see Henry's.
05:22Someone was outside, lurking, peering through his windows.
05:26At first I thought maybe it was the delivery driver.
05:31Wrong address.
05:33But something felt...
05:35Off.
05:36So I jotted the number plate down in my sketchbook.
05:38How long have you lived out here?
05:40Three months.
05:41Long enough to adore it.
05:43I needed space for my work to find inspiration and...
05:48Look.
05:50Of course, when I arrived, the garden was an absolute jungle.
05:53Hired me on the spot.
05:55Said the weeds were choking her genius.
05:58And Henry?
06:00Was he a good neighbour?
06:02He kept...
06:03Kept to himself.
06:05Didn't seem to want to get close.
06:06Still, he drove you into turn on Fridays, right?
06:10Big shop day?
06:11That's the only thing on his calendar.
06:13He offered.
06:14I may have mentioned how tiresome I find driving.
06:17Having done it for years in London.
06:19And there's no Jubilee Line on St. Marie, right?
06:22Quite.
06:25Anyone else ever stop by?
06:28Not that I know of.
06:29Floor's right.
06:31Mr. Asby wasn't much for company.
06:34Without books?
06:35Yeah, speaking of which, did he ever lend you any?
06:39Tail of two cities, maybe?
06:41Dickens.
06:43Inspector?
06:45We'll be in touch.
06:54So that moped's from my rental outfit.
06:57Mopanglory.
06:58Just spoke to the owner, Winston.
06:59Bit of a relic.
07:00But he keep our good records, you know?
07:02Bottom line.
07:03Uh, driver's a tourist from the UK.
07:05Arrived a week ago.
07:07But he provided an ID and a local address.
07:10Craig Pinnock.
07:11An accountant from Nunhead in London.
07:18Craig Pinnock.
07:21Want to step away from the bike, please?
07:26So, how can I help you, detectives?
07:28There's not a problem, is there?
07:29We need to establish your whereabouts this morning.
07:32Yeah, a fatal shooting just a few miles from here.
07:35A man called Henry Ashby was murdered.
07:38Do you know him?
07:40Well, uh, no.
07:42Never heard of the guy.
07:44That's funny.
07:45A moped, just like the one you were scrubbing clean outside,
07:50was used to flee the scene.
07:51We also have evidence placing that same white moped
07:54and its driver outside the victim's house last night.
07:57What? Sorry.
08:00No, there must be some mistake.
08:02I, um...
08:03Look, I didn't shoot anyone.
08:07How do we clear this up?
08:09Let's start from the beginning, yeah?
08:12Last night,
08:14why was your moped seen outside the victim's villa
08:17up in the hills?
08:19Right. Okay.
08:20Um, so I may have driven past that house last night,
08:23but only because I took a wrong turn.
08:25I was, um...
08:26I was looking for a property,
08:28a villa that I'd seen online,
08:30and, um, I thought there might be somebody in
08:32to point me in the right direction,
08:33but no answer.
08:35You were looking for a house for sale.
08:38After dark.
08:39Yes.
08:40I mean, it was supposed to have beautiful sunset views,
08:43and, um...
08:45Well, I'm looking to buy out here, eh?
08:47Remote accounting, best dress.
08:49So you were at the victim's villa,
08:51but you never interacted with him?
08:53No. No, absolutely not.
08:55What about in the morning?
08:58It was definitely my moped that was seen.
09:00Our witnesses didn't get a registration,
09:03but the description matches.
09:04And the rider was wearing...
09:07a black top.
09:10Okay, so I can see now why you might think it was me,
09:13but...
09:13It wasn't.
09:14So it was just coincidence.
09:17Someone else was there this morning,
09:19dressed just like you,
09:20on a similar white moped,
09:22outside the same property you were visiting last night.
09:26Must be.
09:27That's bizarre, isn't it?
09:29But I can assure you, detectives,
09:31that I was nowhere near that house.
09:33Then, where were you 10.30 when the shooting happened?
09:37Well, in coconut water.
09:39There's a street bender,
09:40and I'd stopped to make a work call,
09:42felt thirsty,
09:43and this was definitely 10.30.
09:45Where was this?
09:46Crescent Cove.
09:49The opposite side of the island to the crime scene.
09:53Convenient?
09:54Convenient?
09:55No, look, you've got the wrong person.
09:58I didn't shoot anyone. Check my phone.
10:00We will.
10:03Thank you for your help.
10:04We'll be in touch if we need anything further.
10:08Well, the vendor confirms he served Craig this morning,
10:11and he was on his phone the whole time,
10:12that's why he remembers him.
10:14Craig's client also confirms
10:16they spoke at 15.30 UK time,
10:19which is 10.30 here.
10:20They spoke for five minutes,
10:22and it all tallies with a call-off on Craig's phone.
10:25But it has to be Craig that shot Henry Ashby.
10:27His clothing was identified,
10:29and the bike,
10:30and he was outside Henry's the night before.
10:33And you saw what it was like at the villa.
10:35It was all over the place.
10:36But he has an alibi for the time of the murder, sir.
10:39So if it was him, then how did he do it?
10:56Craig's definitely holding back.
10:58So if we don't yet know how he managed to shoot Henry Ashby,
11:02let's focus on his motive.
11:04Why did he do it?
11:10What?
11:10Sergeant Fletcher.
11:11What have you got for us?
11:13Inspector?
11:14Bit of a development at Henry's.
11:17Seems there's a little more to him than we first thought.
11:24A spy.
11:25A spy.
11:25I'm telling you, he has to be a spy.
11:27Henry was definitely mixed up in something murky.
11:30Surveillance, perhaps?
11:31A spy.
11:33A hundred percent.
11:33I'm talking code names.
11:36You know?
11:36Drop-off locations.
11:38Secret handshairs.
11:39Exploding pens.
11:40His military records came in.
11:43Henry rose through the ranks quickly before a voluntary discharge 15 years ago.
11:48Then nothing.
11:49No paper trail.
11:51No fixed address.
11:52Vanished.
11:54Until...
11:54Saint Marie.
11:55What about his phone?
11:57Zero phone calls.
11:59The man had nobody checking in.
12:01I mean, it's like you just totally ghosted life.
12:03And his laptop?
12:05Locked down tight.
12:07But I've asked the lab and they're checking it out.
12:10But his bank account?
12:12Stucked.
12:13Living off-grid with serious money behind him.
12:16Makes you wonder who or what was he running from?
12:20I've got a mate in Organised Crime Command.
12:22I'll give her a call, see if what we've found triggers anything her in.
12:26But let's keep looking into Craig Pinnock.
12:28Now we know that the victim isn't what he seems,
12:32there must be a reason Craig wanted him dead.
12:35It's time we headed over to the Commissioner's Lounge.
12:38Ready, sir?
12:39Uh, I'll catch you up.
12:40I've got this phone call to make first.
12:43Okay.
12:45See you there.
12:48Don't be late.
12:55You know, Commissioner asked us to say a few words about what St. Marie means to us.
13:00And I was like, man, I mean, where do I start, you know?
13:05So what did you go for?
13:06Officer Rose's top ten favourite places to fill your belly.
13:11Okay.
13:13Uh, do you think that's quite what the Commissioner...
13:15Hmm?
13:17You know what?
13:18That is perfect.
13:22You all right?
13:25Big crowds.
13:27It tends to happen when you're off at food snacks.
13:30The Inspector's cutting it fine.
13:32We want to be in his booth when he arrives.
13:34What is this?
13:37It's a wonderful turnout, don't you think?
13:40What are the phone calls?
13:43If only every idea came together so smoothly.
13:48I should have escorted him here myself.
13:52Mervyn made a commitment, no?
13:55Focus on your speech.
13:58And at number two, we have the grill bar.
14:02You know the one with the sweet, sweet curry goat.
14:05The one where the chef sings love songs as he cooks.
14:09I'm actually thinking about starting my own food tour.
14:12So at the end, open to invest that, we can speak.
14:15Thank you, thank you, thank you for that enthusiasm.
14:21Officer Rose.
14:22Officer Rose.
14:23And thank you for coming, everyone.
14:28Tonight is a new beginning.
14:32Since returning to St. Marie,
14:36I have been made aware that I need to recommit.
14:42To reassure you that this island still matters to me.
14:50To us.
14:52And you.
14:53Its people matter even more.
14:57This is the first step.
14:58Rebuilding trust.
15:01Strengthening the relationship between myself and my team.
15:06And you.
15:08The people we serve.
15:14No answer.
15:17We will proceed with a Q and A as planned.
15:21First questions, please.
15:24Yes, I've got a question.
15:25Why did the detective not bother showing up?
15:30Um.
15:32Well.
15:34Um.
15:36Actually, Commissioner.
15:38Can I take this one?
15:41Of course.
15:53D.I. Wilson's not here because he's working on a murder case.
15:59And knowing him, he's probably so deep into it, he hasn't realized the time.
16:07But that's because he cares about his work.
16:11All of us standing here care so much about what we do.
16:16It's, it's not just about solving crimes.
16:19It's about doing it right.
16:21And that's why we show up.
16:23Because it's not just what we do, it's, it's who we are.
16:39Well done.
16:41Well done.
16:43Next question.
16:45So, two Sergeant Thomas, they're busting it.
16:51Look.
16:51Look who arrives just in time for the clean up.
16:54Look, I'm late.
16:55I know.
16:56The good news is there's no more speeches, but the bad news, no more snacks.
16:59The Commissioner left ten minutes ago, and he said he's very disappointed, but not surprised.
17:05Direct quotes.
17:06Stop talking!
17:07Look, I've got some major intel on our victim, alright?
17:11I mean, it all makes total sense now.
17:12The military background, the fake passports, living off-grid.
17:16I mean, I should have worked this out before.
17:18Worked out what?
17:19He was a spy.
17:20No officer Rose.
17:22Henry Ashby was a professional hitman.
17:30So, multiple passports were found in the victim's house.
17:33I don't believe it.
17:35Why is it so hard to get a book out of the library?
17:37Inspector.
17:39You do still work here?
17:41Yeah.
17:42Commissioner, look, I'm sorry about last night, but I was doing what I thought was best for the case.
17:47Disappearing in the name of duty is still disappearing.
17:51I made my expectations very clear.
17:56Yes, Commissioner, I'm sorry it won't happen again.
17:58You might also offer thanks to DS Thomas, who covered for your absence with great aplomb.
18:06Thank you, DS Thomas.
18:09Right, are we done?
18:10No.
18:12You will make amends with some community outreach work.
18:17Mrs Desiree, one of our most senior residents, was in attendance last night.
18:23She told me she was in need of a little police assistance.
18:27I said would pay her a visit.
18:31That is her address.
18:36Hmm.
18:38A Tale of Two Cities.
18:41Have you read it before?
18:43I know, but I used to work weekends with a guy who ran Dickens tours.
18:47Like all his best, redemption, hope, the destructive nature of revenge.
18:54Not a million miles from this case.
18:56Ah, DS Thomas was updating me. Your victim is a hitman.
19:00Yeah, organised crime linked Henry Ashby to a shelved case.
19:05He's the prime suspect in a historic hit job in Putney.
19:08Made to look like a break-in.
19:10The victim was a shop owner with ties to loan sharks.
19:13Henry made it look like a break-in?
19:15The theory goes, Henry's the guy you call him when things get heavy.
19:18There's other suspected hits, but the evidence is non-existent.
19:21I went through the victim's bank statements, Commissioner.
19:24There were years of large cash deposits.
19:27No employer, just drops.
19:30Why did they never catch him?
19:31I expect because he was good at his job.
19:33All they had on the guy was some grainy CCTV footage
19:36and the description of a very distinctive tattoo.
19:38Pegasus!
19:39Look, I still feel like I've seen that tattoo somewhere before, you know.
19:44I'm just not sure where.
19:49So, I did some digging into our suspect, Craig Pinnock.
19:53Turns out, Craig's a widower.
19:56This was his wife, Lucy Pinnock, died ten years ago on the 2nd of July.
20:01So?
20:02She was shot. A home-breaking gone wrong.
20:06No suspect, no motive, just a robbery-turned-fatal.
20:11Two robberies, two deaths, same MO.
20:13Oh.
20:14Well, that's no coincidence.
20:15And here, three days before Lucy's death.
20:18The last cash drop.
20:20So, if Henry was a contract killer and Lucy Pinnock was one of his last jobs, then...
20:28Craig Pinnock suddenly has really good motive to want Henry Ashby dead.
20:35They were trying to scare me.
20:37Who was?
20:39Loan sharks.
20:41I'd started gambling and, um, told myself I could get her under control, but I owed so much money.
20:47And they were starting to hound me.
20:48When they came to collect what you owed them, you didn't have it.
20:52And your wife was collateral.
20:56I hate myself every day for what they did to her.
21:01For what I caused.
21:02But you didn't tell the police.
21:05Must have been eating you up alive inside.
21:08The shame.
21:09The guilt, the rage.
21:11And so you decided you'd hunt down Henry Ashby yourself.
21:14I knew that the police would never find him.
21:17Because they didn't know the full truth.
21:18That it was a professional hit.
21:21Not an easy job.
21:22I mean, the trail was cold, wasn't it? For years.
21:25The killer was hiding out here, on St. Marie.
21:29How did you find Henry?
21:32Well, the people I owed money to, I did some digging.
21:35Eventually, I found out who they paid to do their dirty work.
21:39So, you knew exactly who Henry was.
21:43And you came anyway.
21:46If there was a chance, I could look him in the eye.
21:49Get him to answer for what he did.
21:51So, revenge.
21:52That was your plan.
21:53You knew exactly whose house you were at that night.
21:56Okay, look, I admit.
21:57I went there to confront him.
21:59But I never laid eyes on him.
22:00He wasn't there.
22:01You went back the next morning to finish the job.
22:04No.
22:04I've already told you this.
22:06I was on the other side of the island.
22:08Look, whoever went there that morning to shoot him,
22:10it was someone else.
22:11It wasn't me.
22:21Something wrong, Officer Rose?
22:22Or are you just exercising your thumb muscles?
22:24Hey, I'm working, actually.
22:26I had to scroll through this group chat to find this video.
22:29Although I did briefly get sidetracked by this chicken wearing carnival.
22:32Please, beat it around the bush some more, Officer Rose.
22:34Sir, that tattoo.
22:36You know how I thought I recognized it from somewhere?
22:39Boom.
22:40Three months ago.
22:42Henry saved a woman who was caught up in a riptide out at Turtle Bay.
22:46He did no photos, no press.
22:49But somebody filmed it and the video went viral.
22:52The man went in twice.
22:55Once for the old lady.
22:57Once for the little dog.
22:58I printed these off.
23:00You can see the Pegasus tattoo in boat.
23:02So we have a trained assassin who saves poodles in his spare time.
23:06But it means literally anybody looking for Henry Ashby could have seen that video and come to the island for
23:14revenge.
23:14Alright, so maybe someone else on a white moped, wearing a black top, did go to Henry Ashby's place that
23:23morning and shoot him.
23:25Okay, we're gonna have to check all routes to the woods behind Henry's place and any road cameras along the
23:30way.
23:30We should also look into who else knew Henry.
23:34Mm-hmm.
23:34Got it.
23:35Got it.
23:35Got it.
23:47Got it.
23:47Got it.
23:48It's me.
23:52The police are gonna wanna talk to me.
23:55But I don't want you to worry.
24:04Still no jive with the moped.
24:06No sign of anyone else on a white bike who could have possibly shot Henry.
24:12What about Fisherman's Way?
24:13It's the fastest route to the house.
24:15The only camera along there has been busted for weeks.
24:18So it's the perfect time for lunch.
24:21Cold case.
24:22Hot prawns.
24:23No seriously, you have to try one of these.
24:25Captain Crustacean's firecracker prawns.
24:28But thank you.
24:30But if you want real flavour, ooh, you got to go to Old Man Baptiste behind the cricket ground.
24:36My father used to take us after school. Baptiste had this secret marinade.
24:41Legendary.
24:42Ooh.
24:43All right.
24:44Take your time.
24:45They're spicy.
24:50My man's got a little bit of a kick.
24:54Oh, are you okay?
24:56All right.
24:56If we're speedy, we'll make it to Old Man Baptiste before he shots.
25:00We need milk.
25:05Interesting.
25:13Listen.
25:15I didn't get to say this properly before.
25:18But thank you.
25:20For covering for me last night.
25:23Whatever it was you did.
25:24Or said.
25:25That's okay, sir.
25:27I, er...
25:29I know you're maybe not feeling like yourself at the moment.
25:35Yeah.
25:35Well, um...
25:37It's, er...
25:38It's not been the best few weeks.
25:40Finding her brother, then him going away again.
25:44But, you know, mate.
25:45I don't let those things get to me, right?
25:49Right.
25:50No.
25:51Sure you don't.
25:53What?
25:54Well...
25:56We haven't seen you much in the last week, sir.
26:01All you do is stay in your shack and watch football.
26:04I like football.
26:05I know.
26:06I know.
26:06But...
26:08It's...
26:08A lot of football.
26:11Yeah?
26:11Well, there's a lot of games.
26:14Listen.
26:14Let's just focus on the case.
26:16What have you got?
26:19Actually...
26:21Those weekly shopping trips Henry used to take.
26:24He was pulling out $500 like clockwork.
26:28That's some major coinage for groceries.
26:31And guess who was depositing the exact same amount into their account the same day every week?
26:37Fleur.
26:39Baxter.
26:42Henry was bankrolling Fleur's gardener?
26:45Why?
26:46Well, doesn't look like it was for fertilizer.
26:51Hush money.
26:53Maybe.
26:53But the payment stopped.
26:56One was due Friday.
26:58Never came.
27:00And a couple of days later...
27:02Henry's dead.
27:10It's true.
27:14Henry...
27:15gave me money.
27:18But you never thought to mention it?
27:23Why was he paying you?
27:25He said it wasn't charity.
27:28He had money sitting there, doing nothing.
27:31We're not talking about a few bob here, Mr. Turton.
27:34This is thousands.
27:35It sounds a lot to me like leverage.
27:39Extortion.
27:39No, no, no. That's not what it was. I would never...
27:41He stops paying you, you get angry, decide to punish him...
27:44And that's why you...
27:45It's my son.
27:46Rio.
27:48He was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
27:52He got it early, but he still turned everything upside down.
27:56The bills are waiting, trying to keep things normal for him.
28:00I was barely holding it together.
28:03So then Henry started helping, paying for treatments.
28:07Wouldn't take no for an answer.
28:09And last week...
28:11Rio got it all clear.
28:14And the final thing Henry said to me...
28:16was that he didn't want a penny back.
28:24Do you get the sense Henry was trying to atone for his actions?
28:29Saving that woman and her dog?
28:31Paying for Baxter's kids' healthcare?
28:34I mean, for a man who killed for a living, he seemed to suddenly find a moral code in life.
28:39Detectives.
28:41Sorry.
28:43There's something I need to tell you.
28:45I wasn't sure whether to say anything.
28:48Fleur's been great to me, really.
28:50But...
28:51It was a few weeks ago.
28:54Fleur was pretty out of it.
28:57I tried to help her out of the sun and...
28:59Men like him...
29:01Always think they can get away with it.
29:03She started muttering about Henry.
29:06She wasn't making a lot of sense.
29:08I doubt she meant anything by it.
29:11But it's been playing on my mind.
29:15I told you there was a shot cut along Fisherman's Way.
29:19I'm pretty sure you broke the stone barrier.
29:21No.
29:22No.
29:25Thank you for the memories.
29:28Oh, I'll never know if it lived up to his hype.
29:33Sorry, Sarge.
29:34Makes me realise how long I've been away from St. Marie.
29:38Come back expecting everything to be the same.
29:41But things change, right?
29:43You don't regret coming back, do you, Sarge?
29:45No.
29:46I couldn't stay in Jamaica anymore.
29:49It was right to leave.
29:52Do you miss him?
29:55Your ex?
29:57No.
29:58It just doesn't feel the same here, you know?
30:02That's just...
30:03Getting used to it.
30:09Right, come on.
30:10Let's go back to the station.
30:34Let's try the back.
30:40Miss Edwards.
30:42Oh, hello.
30:45Apologies for the mess.
30:49They come as a pair, Inspector.
30:53Not really my taste, to be honest.
30:55What he really means is, he's not much of, um, an arts collector.
31:02Please, they're fragile.
31:04Like your relationship with Henry?
31:06Yeah, your gardener told us about your drunken threats.
31:11Who knew I'd hired Chatty Cathy?
31:13What did you mean when you said,
31:16men like him always get away with it?
31:20He tried it on with me.
31:22Didn't like being rejected.
31:23It sounded like you wanted to punish him for more than just making a pass at you.
31:30What aren't you telling us, Miss Edwards?
31:33All I'm guilty of, detectives, is bruising Henry's delicate ego.
31:38I don't believe you.
31:40I think you knew exactly who he was.
31:43Didn't you?
31:44I haven't the foggiest idea what you're talking about.
31:46I saw someone on a moped outside Henry's place.
31:49That's who killed him.
31:51Did you ever catch them, Inspector?
31:53I'd sleep much better knowing you did.
31:55Us too.
31:57We'll be in touch.
32:07The first story isn't sitting right with me.
32:10But she has an alibi.
32:12Baxter was with her in her house when Henry Ashby was shot.
32:16And Baxter's account checks out.
32:18I spoke to the hospital.
32:19Everything he said about his son, Rio, is true.
32:22Which brings us back to Craig Pinnock,
32:24who has motive coming out of his ears but he also has an alibi for the murder.
32:28So, what you're saying is,
32:30the three people who could have shot Henry Ashby,
32:33couldn't have shot Henry Ashby.
32:35Exactly that.
32:37Inspector.
32:38One laptop.
32:39Lab fresh.
32:41Fully decrypted.
32:42No, that's more like it.
32:43I don't think so, Inspector.
32:45You have somewhere to be if you haven't forgotten,
32:48which I sense you have.
32:50Mrs Desiree,
32:51how about I give you a lift there?
32:53Make sure you don't get lost.
32:56Maybe I should take this.
33:05Good luck, Inspector.
33:07Inspector!
33:11I bump into Mrs Desiree in church every now and then.
33:17She makes the most superb ginger cake.
33:22Good for her.
33:23You seem confused, Inspector.
33:26Well, it's just that I thought you said she needed police assistance.
33:31Fixing her gate, that's a handyman's job.
33:35Perhaps.
33:36But if you hadn't realised,
33:38the reason I asked you to do this
33:41was in the hope that you might
33:45learn something from it.
33:46Yeah. Yeah, I figured as much.
33:49Going that extra mile for the community.
33:51Improving police relationships, et cetera, et cetera.
33:54Actually,
33:55this was more about you than my community initiative.
34:01Me?
34:03Inspector, I know the last week or so has been tough on you.
34:07And might have had you even thinking about why you stayed on,
34:12on this island.
34:15Maybe.
34:17Look, I'm not going to lie, okay?
34:19Now that Solomon and I have parted ways,
34:22yeah, it has had me wondering.
34:23Which is perfectly understandable.
34:27But, hiding away, avoiding people, not being part of this island's life,
34:34you're missing out.
34:38Yeah, yeah, I hear you.
34:40But, you know, fixing some old lady's gate,
34:43you really think that's the answer?
34:45Oh, yes. Thank you.
34:47I'll be right with you.
34:52In answer to your question,
34:55I suppose you'll find out, inspector.
35:01But...
35:04Don't I get any iced tea?
35:13I'll be right with you.
35:14Speed and tickets.
35:16Where are them ketchup?
35:17Fisherman's way.
35:19Must have been when we were going to Old Man Baptiste.
35:22I thought you said that camera was broken.
35:24It's been taped off for months.
35:32If it's working, then maybe that's the route the killer took.
35:35Let's go.
35:41Inspector.
35:47At Mrs Desiree's gate, bit back.
35:50Ah.
35:51So...
35:54Spent half the night going through Henry's laptop.
35:57He was researching Fleur.
35:58Social media, old exhibitions, personal records.
36:02It doesn't sound like a crush.
36:04No. He was looking for a connection.
36:06And now, I know to what.
36:11Fleur and Lucy Pinnock were housemates.
36:14Same university. Seemed super close.
36:17Lucy was using her maiden name.
36:20So, three months ago,
36:22Fleur moves in next door to the man who killed her best friend.
36:26And now he's dead.
36:30She was like a sister.
36:32Must have been a shark when she died.
36:36It didn't make sense.
36:39A robbery. Nothing really taken.
36:42And she'd never be caught up in anything dangerous.
36:45So what did you do?
36:46The day before it happened,
36:50Lucy told me she thought a man was following her.
36:53It spooked her.
36:55She...
36:56She described him, his height, his build.
37:00Said he had a tattoo, a winged horse on his forearm.
37:03I told the police, they dropped it.
37:06But you never forgot.
37:09And then, years later, you saw a news story.
37:13Henry saving a woman and her dog.
37:16All of a sudden, there he was.
37:19So you tracked him down to St. Marie,
37:21casually moved in next door and then made nice.
37:23I wanted to understand how someone like that could...
37:27keep on living.
37:29And when you couldn't understand, you killed him?
37:30In case you'd forgotten, Inspector,
37:32I was making lemonade.
37:34Something I was about to offer you,
37:35but I'm thinking better of it.
37:37Hang on, so you're telling me
37:38the man who robbed Lucy of her life
37:40was on your doorstep and you did zilch?
37:42Of course I wanted him to pay.
37:45To see the shame in his eyes
37:47when he realised I knew who he was,
37:49what he'd done.
37:50But I'd never got the chance.
37:52I didn't kill him.
37:55Lucy's husband is out here too.
37:58Craig's on St. Marie.
38:00Bit of a coincidence, don't you think?
38:02You two turning up on the same island?
38:05You knew he was here.
38:10Okay, um...
38:11The night before Henry died,
38:13I did see someone on a moped outside his house.
38:17It looked like Craig.
38:20My heart almost stopped.
38:22I told myself,
38:23if it was him,
38:25whatever he was up to,
38:27I wanted nothing to do with it.
38:29And then Henry turned up dead.
38:33I gave you the number plate,
38:35hoping and praying that I was mistaken.
38:39And that Craig wasn't involved.
38:45He's at the centre of everything.
38:47Just never where we need him to be.
38:48Inspector, you're going to want to see this.
38:51But we just checked the speed camera on Fisherman's Way
38:53and it caught something.
38:56Okay.
38:57So this is about six minutes away from the victim's house,
39:0010.21 the morning of the murder.
39:02Just wait for it.
39:04Boom! Right there, sir.
39:05Guy in a blacktop, on a white moped,
39:07with the same registration plate as the one Craig Pinnock hired.
39:10So Craig Pinnock did it.
39:12We now know he drove to the victim's house at the time of the murder.
39:16Wait.
39:18Why did the street vendor say he was buying coconut water when it happened?
39:25Okay.
39:26Let's play this out.
39:27DS Thomas, you be the victim.
39:29Over there, please.
39:31Officer Rose, you be Craig.
39:33Just there.
39:34And Sergeant Fletcher, you be the vendor.
39:36Right. Phone.
39:39Okay. Go.
39:41Yes, bro.
39:42Just grabbing the coconut water now, innit?
39:44Yeah.
39:45I'll send over them figures soon.
39:46Definitely not gonna shoot nobody today.
39:49Remind me never to take your undercover.
39:53That's it.
39:55It's simple.
39:56Craig wasn't actually on a call.
39:59He was pretending, like Officer Rose was just now.
40:01He made sure he was seen and heard so that when we asked the vendor...
40:05We were told the story Craig wanted us to hear, not the truth.
40:10The vendor never knew the time, only that Craig was on the phone.
40:14Confirmation by us.
40:16Exactly.
40:17The real call was made at 10.30, but from somewhere else.
40:21Craig shot Henry, rode a short distance, made the call as planned at 10.30.
40:27Finally, his alibi has crumbled.
40:31I'm telling you, I'm innocent.
40:34You lied about your alibi, and now you want us to believe you.
40:37Okay. Yes.
40:39I haven't been telling the truth, but...
40:41Come on, please. You have to give me one more chance.
40:4430 seconds.
40:4530 seconds.
40:46Okay.
40:47Um...
40:48So, yes, I went to Henry's house, and I took a gun.
40:52I was working myself up to killing him, okay?
40:55I admit it.
40:55But then I heard a gunshot, okay?
40:57And I thought he'd seen me.
40:58I thought maybe he was shooting at me.
41:01But I didn't stick around to find out.
41:02I just...
41:02I got on the moped, and I went away, and I didn't look back.
41:06And this gun, your gun, where is it now?
41:10Well, I chucked it in the sea.
41:12Look, I can show you exactly where.
41:14Please!
41:15You have to believe me!
41:17It wasn't me!
41:25I believe it.
41:26Even though he's repeatedly lied to us throughout this investigation.
41:30Yep.
41:31Even though he admits to being at the victim's house at the time of the murder.
41:35With a gun.
41:36And a motive.
41:37Yep.
41:37So, if you think he didn't do it, sir, then...
41:41Who did?
41:42I haven't a Scooby.
41:43Because it also can't be either of these.
41:45And I'll tell you what's really bugging me about all this.
41:49The victim's copy of this book was missing from his bookshelf.
41:52And it hasn't turned up anywhere during the investigation.
41:54So, where is it?
41:56Wait.
41:57You read the whole book in the last few days?
41:59Well, I just speed read it.
42:00So, what was the story about?
42:03Well, basically, it's about a guy who tries to make things right.
42:07And the only way he feels he can do that is if he...
42:13Well...
42:13Wait a minute.
42:17Because if you look at it that way...
42:20That changes the whole perspective on everything.
42:22A tale of two cities.
42:24Redemption.
42:25Hope.
42:26The destructive nature of revenge.
42:28Do you get the sense Henry was trying to atone for his actions?
42:31They were trying to scare me.
42:32Who was?
42:33Loan sharks.
42:34I'd started gambling and I owed so much money and they were starting to hound me.
42:38It's my son.
42:39Real.
42:40He was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
42:43So then Henry started helping.
42:45Paying for treatments.
42:47Wouldn't take nor for an answer.
42:48If I have to read a book, I usually start at the last page first.
42:52So if there's sad endings.
42:54Which would mean...
42:55You worked it out.
42:57I have.
42:58And if I'm right about all this...
43:01In a funny way, the answer's been there the whole time.
43:04The book?
43:05Yeah.
43:06I think I know where it might be.
43:08And that explains everything.
43:13Thanks, Charlie.
43:14Appreciate it.
43:18Ready, boss?
43:34Second time lucky, yeah?
43:56A book.
44:00A gun.
44:05And a bullet.
44:19Let's start with this, shall we?
44:21A tale of two cities.
44:24A story about redemption and sacrifice.
44:28And at the back of this book, Henry Ashby left a story of his own.
44:34The main character in this story, he dies in the end.
44:37But he gave up his life to atone for what he'd done.
44:42For a while, we were looking for a killer that was never there.
44:46Because Henry Ashby wasn't murdered.
44:50He took his own life.
44:54Henry's final words.
44:56A suicide note addressed to you, Miss Edwards.
44:59Written in the back of the book.
45:01But also a confession to Lucy Pinnock's murder.
45:06But why would Henry take his own life?
45:11And why now?
45:13The past caught up with him.
45:16Fleur, you found the viral video.
45:19Recognized Henry.
45:20And you shared it with Craig, didn't you?
45:22You finally found the man who murdered Lucy after all these years.
45:26But you didn't wait for Craig.
45:28You came out to St. Marie alone.
45:31You conveniently moved in next door to Henry.
45:35All this to get closer to the man who killed Lucy.
45:38And those drunken threats you aimed at Henry that the gardener witnessed.
45:42Henry hadn't tried it on with you at all, had he?
45:45What was eating away at you was the thought that this man had got away with murdering your best friend.
45:51So you insisted Craig fly to St. Marie.
45:57Henry was on to you, wasn't he?
46:00Something felt different.
46:02He seemed off with me, drove in silence.
46:06So you had to strike before he fled the island or did something even worse.
46:12And together you orchestrated your revenge.
46:15The plan was simple.
46:17Craig, you would arrive at Henry's place just before 10.30.
46:21You both arranged your alibis.
46:24Fleur, you knew Baxter would be at yours for his shift.
46:28And Craig, you arranged a work call that you'd take at 10.30 after you shot Henry,
46:33then made out that you were buying coconut water at the same time.
46:37But then something unexpected happened, didn't it?
46:40Because Henry worked out what you had in store for him.
46:44Craig, when you sculpted out Henry's the night before his death,
46:47we believe Henry, as a trained killer, was watching you.
46:52Your actions, Craig, tipped Henry off that his time was up.
46:57The past, the guilt.
47:00It was all coming back to haunt him.
47:03And as a man who lived in control,
47:06he chose the only thing he felt he could still command.
47:09The ending to his own story.
47:13It's not the right way, but in his mind, it was the only option.
47:18So sometime before 10.30 the following morning,
47:22Henry shot himself.
47:26Fleur, you must have been confused.
47:28Had Craig arrived early?
47:30But when you found the body, you also found the book.
47:35And inside it, something you weren't expecting.
47:41The truth in a note left for you.
47:44And once you'd read it, you knew there and then that you couldn't let this die with him.
47:49So you proceeded to stage a crime scene to make it look like Henry had been murdered.
47:54You took his gun, the one thing he kept for protection given his past.
47:59And you left the doors wide open.
48:01You even scattered mud from the garden.
48:04Before firing a second gunshot at 10.30 from your kitchen, breaking a plant pot and creating a false time
48:10of death.
48:13A second bullet from a second gunshot, which you recovered from your garden later that morning.
48:19All that was left was to steer us toward the right culprit.
48:24The moped number plate was smooth.
48:26But why go to all that trouble?
48:33Her death haunted me most.
48:36Usually they had it coming, but not her.
48:41You see, that's what's so heartbreaking about it, isn't it, Craig?
48:46Because Lucy was a real victim here.
48:50And it's just as I suspected.
48:52I spent my life following orders.
48:56But this one was the cruelest.
48:57Your friend was an innocent woman.
49:01And you should know the truth.
49:03The hit was commissioned by her own husband.
49:10You see, the order didn't come from faceless loan sharks.
49:15But from you.
49:16You're the reason she's dead.
49:19I'm sorry, you've got this all wrong.
49:21When will you finally stop lying?
49:23You played the grieving husband, seeking revenge, when all you really wanted was silence.
49:29You hired Henry Ashby, a professional hitman, to stage a botched armed robbery so you could cash in your wife's
49:36life insurance and pay off your gambling debts.

50:20Pinnock, I'm arresting you for conspiracies and murder.
50:27She loved you.
50:29And you sentenced her to death.
50:32I hope it haunts you for the rest of your life.
50:54So, as soon as Mervyn arrives, we'll be ready to go.
50:59May I ask?
51:01I'm sure he'll be here, sir.
51:04So, Sarge, I did some digging and asking around.
51:10I got you this.
51:14Old Man Baptiste's secret recipe,
51:17as much as anyone could remember.
51:24Thought you might want to tease the home, you know?
51:26I just need to learn how to cook now.
51:29Now this will really burn your eyebrows off your face.
51:35Sorry. Sorry.
51:37Better late than never, Mervyn.
51:39Go and stand beside the Commissioner.
51:45Sorry I'm late, Commissioner.
51:46I had a visitor.
51:48Mrs. Desiree dropped by.
51:51She made me a cake.
51:52Lock in York.
51:54It's a nice cake as well.
51:57And yeah, I get it.
52:00Look out.
52:01Not in.
52:02Right?
52:04Everyone's ready?
52:07Three.
52:09Two.
52:10One.
52:11Smile.
52:12Smile!
