00:00Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you the Luska.
00:05This giant cephalopod-like sea creature, half octopus, half shark,
00:10is, many believe, the stuff of fantasy.
00:14The kind of fictional monster Jules Verne might dream up.
00:18But then, there are those more open-minded souls, like myself,
00:22who believe this gigantic cryptid to be as real as you or I.
00:27I will present to you the evidence I have collated,
00:30proving this animal is no mere figment of the imagination.
00:33And it all begins with the first sighting,
00:36off the coast of St. Marie in 1823,
00:40by this man,
00:42a pirate by the name of Pierre Lafitte.
00:52Pierre Lafitte was my great-great-great-grandfather.
00:56I'll tell you no lies.
00:58Still got the journal he had when he was pirating away.
01:01Passed on from generation to generation.
01:04And that's why this is the only boat trip
01:07where you can experience the exact place
01:09my ancestor witnessed.
01:12The Luska.
01:14Roll up, roll up!
01:16You know you want to.
01:17And I promise you guys,
01:19you will not be disappointed.
01:22So, how was it?
01:24You're a believer now.
01:26To be honest,
01:29I think I'm even less of a believer than I was before.
01:32I don't know why you're bothered.
01:34Because I want to be prepared.
01:37I'm afraid nothing can prepare you for my ex-husband.
01:45Either that's him,
01:47or we've come to a soup kitchen by mistake.
01:53Hello, Giles.
01:55Cara, it's been a while, hasn't it?
01:58Oh!
02:01Stop here.
02:07This is Rory.
02:10Ah, yes.
02:11Didn't realise you were bringing him.
02:14Nice to meet you, Rory.
02:16It's great to finally meet you, Giles.
02:18Can't wait to hear all your stories about the Luska.
02:20Absolutely fascinated about it.
02:22Ah.
02:24Would you like a glass of wine?
02:26Just a cup of coffee will do me, ta.
02:29Let me see if I can find a waiter.
02:32Sit down.
02:39So, how are you?
02:41I mean, you know, the anniversary.
02:45Feels strange to be back.
02:48Like it was only yesterday.
02:51I'm taking the boat out later to where it happened.
02:55Fancy joining.
02:56You remember him together?
02:57No, I'd rather stay here.
02:59With Rory.
03:12Come on.
03:14Come on.
03:18Poor guy.
03:29All right, we'll let her.
03:57It's just a bad dream.
04:06How have you been?
04:08Just went for a walk, that's all.
04:12Thanks.
05:10Morning, sir.
05:12You good?
05:13No.
05:14I am not good.
05:16What's wrong?
05:17Turns out I am an uncle.
05:20Yes, mum.
05:21I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
05:23What, I came to visit Uncle Merv anyway?
05:26That's Eloise.
05:27The niece I didn't know I had.
05:28So you're her uncle Merv.
05:31No, I'm not.
05:33I mean, yes, I am her uncle, but not Merv.
05:35Never Merv, understood?
05:37Okay.
05:38Clearly touched a nerve there.
05:41Well, I kind of miss him.
05:42So she's Solomon's daughter?
05:44I don't know why he couldn't just tell me that in the first place.
05:46He could have just said, well, as it happens, I do have a daughter.
05:49Are he and her mother together?
05:51Yeah, not for some time, apparently.
05:53She's supposed to be staying with her Aunty Vondra.
05:55Well, she doesn't like it better, so she ran away and came here.
05:59They've got a case, I assume?
06:01Oh, my God.
06:02It's not a murder case, is it?
06:04Please let me come on a ride along, Uncle Merv.
06:07Please.
06:08Right.
06:09So firstly, you're not coming on any ride along.
06:12And secondly, it's not Uncle Merv.
06:15It's Mervyn, remember?
06:18Hi.
06:19I'm Naomi, by the way.
06:21I work with your Uncle Merv.
06:25Right.
06:26Go pack your stuff, young lady.
06:27You've got a boat to catch.
06:29I am sending you back home to Antigua.
06:31Whatever you say, Uncle Merv.
06:33And it's not...
06:37I like her.
06:43Victim's name's Giles Parry, 58 years of age.
06:46Body was found floating six miles out at sea.
06:49Sergeant Fletcher's with the Coast Guard now.
06:51A couple of fishermen going out early this morning came across the body.
06:54But paramedics reckon he'd been in the water since last night.
06:59Thing is, this is already causing a stir on the heart.
07:03Why is that?
07:04Because of those marks on his body.
07:08They're all over his front and his back.
07:10And the bruising here.
07:12Some people are saying it was caused by the Losca.
07:15And that's what killed him.
07:17Sorry, what?
07:19It's a sea monster.
07:20A sea monster?
07:21Like a local legend kind of thing.
07:23Half shark, half octopus wraps its tentacles around you and drags you under.
07:28Hence...
07:29A sea monster?
07:30Not everybody believes in this thing.
07:32Most people don't, but...
07:34Do you?
07:35No, but it's still part of our history.
07:38Part of our culture.
07:40Right.
07:40Well, we can knock that theory on the head as a possible cause of death, alright?
07:44Except there's a little more to it than that, sir.
07:47That's why he's here.
07:55I've always wondered whether this would come back to haunt me.
07:59Seven years ago yesterday,
08:01Giles Parry's 16-year-old son, Benjamin, drowned at sea.
08:08In the exact same location as Giles' body was found this morning.
08:14A local fisherman told me that Mr. Parry had sailed out to that spot yesterday to pay his respects.
08:24Then he ended up dead himself?
08:26Mm-hmm.
08:28Was he stormy yesterday?
08:30Called the harbour master.
08:32It was calm for the last 24 hours.
08:34Do we know what time he left the harbour?
08:36Just before seven o'clock, according to the GPS.
08:40Also, there's a boat mechanic who's been fixing Mr. Parry's engine.
08:43He saw him leave.
08:44He says there was definitely nobody else on the boat with him.
08:48It's arrived at a final destination half an hour later.
08:51Radar shows no other boat near it at any point.
08:54So, what happened to him?
08:56How did he end up dead with all those weird markings on him?
09:00Unless, you know, it was the last guy.
09:05I hate to break it to you, Officer Rose, but sea monsters don't exist.
09:09No, yeah. I know.
09:12But, it'd be cool if they did do all right.
09:15What's that?
09:24Sepule?
09:26Our victim wasn't shot, right?
09:29No.
09:30And there was no gun found on the boat?
09:32Not that I've found so far.
09:38So, what is that doing here?
09:48I don't know what happened on that boat,
09:51but the fact that we found this on it means it's suspicious.
09:55I think someone else was there, you know?
10:02I'm going to talk to Catherine.
10:05From what I know, James Parry was an isolated figure,
10:08but he did drink at her bar and he would talk to her.
10:13I'm also going to contact the Guadalupe police and request the Benjamin Parry case files.
10:20So, the search back then wasn't led by the St. Marie team?
10:23As it was the Guadalupe Coast Guard who was first contacted when the empty boat was discovered, they staked there
10:31clean.
10:33I bet that rankled.
10:34I did push for us to have a role, but the senior investigating officer wasn't interested.
10:44There's some people on St. Marie who think I should have pressed harder, especially when they ran into a dead
10:52end earlier on.
10:55It's always been felt, more could have been done, not by me.
11:05Considering I am already persona non grata, I would like to do my bit to try and solve this case
11:14now and win back the community's trust.
11:18I've located the victim's ex-wife. She and her partner are staying at a hotel just outside Tom.
11:32We arrived here two days ago to mark the anniversary of Cara's son's passing.
11:39I'm sorry to ask, Miss Smart, but your son Benjamin, why did he take the boat out on his own?
11:46Giles had always been into UFOs and aliens, that kind of thing.
11:52Our holidays were spent visiting Loch Ness or the Bermuda Triangle.
11:57The Luska here on St. Marie.
11:59Ben was getting even more fanatical than he stood.
12:02That's why he snuck out on his own and took the boat we'd hired out for a last-ditch sighting
12:09of the Luska.
12:10The weather turned bad. The sea was rough. He never came back.
12:19I kept hoping they'd find him alive with a life jacket on, just floating somewhere.
12:25As time passed, you have to accept that he's not coming back.
12:31So you returned home to England?
12:34After ten months, Giles and I were arguing nonstop by then.
12:39I just needed some space, some time to process it all.
12:43Whereas he...
12:48Giles was convinced the Luska took their son. He became obsessed.
12:53That's why he stayed on here when I left. To try and prove the Luska exists.
12:59And he really, truly believed in it.
13:05And yesterday, did you see Giles at all?
13:09We had an early dinner at five.
13:11It's great to finally meet you, Giles.
13:13And how was that? How was Giles then?
13:16It was fine. You know, quiet.
13:19Giles was Giles.
13:21Still as delusional as he ever was.
13:24Did Giles ever own a gun at all?
13:26Not like we were together.
13:28And I struggled to leave. He bought one while he was out here.
13:31What exactly happened to Giles?
13:34You said that he was found dead at sea.
13:36I assumed it was an accident.
13:38But is there more to it than that?
13:41Well, we're not sure yet.
13:43We're still working on that one.
13:54Yeah, my friend's dad swears he saw the Luska one time.
13:57Okay, sir. Come on.
13:59Never the same afterwards.
14:02Let's keep our focus on the keys.
14:31Let's keep our focus on the keys.
14:31Auntie Vondra.
14:32I mean, Vondra.
14:40Vondra, Vondra, it's all right.
14:42She's back at my place. She's safe.
14:44Thanks.
14:44Okay, look, I'll call you back in a bit.
14:47Mo?
14:49Hey, Uncle Mo.
14:51Hope you're hungry, I ordered lots.
14:54Which reminds me, I borrowed your credit card this morning.
14:57Needed it to pay for the boat to get back to St. Marie.
14:59And dinner.
15:01You really are your father's daughter, aren't you?
15:03I know, right?
15:04What's going on, Eloise?
15:06Why are you back here?
15:09Because we need to talk about dad.
15:12We could have done that this morning.
15:14Why didn't you mention it then?
15:15I was waiting for the right moment.
15:17And before I know it, you're shoving me on her boat back home.
15:23All right.
15:24What about your dad?
15:27We need to work out a plan, Uncle Murph.
15:29A plan for what?
15:30To get him out of prison.
15:32To find evidence that proves he's innocent.
15:36Okay, um, what exactly did your dad tell you about him being arrested?
15:41Just that he was set up and shouldn't be in jail.
15:45That it's a miscarriage.
15:48A miscarriage of justice.
15:51So, we need to help him, right?
15:57Why don't you go and get some plates and cutlery, yeah?
16:07So, you idiots.
16:11What?
16:29Solomon clearly hasn't told her about the scam he got caught up in.
16:32That he is good as shot someone.
16:35And held me hostage.
16:38He's dressed it up like he was the victim.
16:41And she obviously idolizes him.
16:43What are you going to do?
16:46I should just tell her the truth, right?
16:49Just...
16:50Tell her in a nice way.
16:52Not in a...
16:55Your kind of way.
16:57What is a my kind of way?
16:59You know, sometimes you can be a...
17:02Tiny bit insensitive.
17:03Insensitive.
17:04Insensitive?
17:06Me?
17:07Insensitive?
17:08That is rubbish.
17:09I mean, if anything, it's everyone else who is too sensitive.
17:13Sure.
17:14That's totally what it is.
17:18Hey, Louise.
17:23Right, um...
17:24I'm off to work now.
17:26So we can have dinner later, yeah?
17:29And we'll, um...
17:31We'll talk.
17:33Okay, Uncle Mark.
17:37Old school.
17:38I like it.
17:44Right.
17:45Where we at with the case?
17:47Anything from the lab yet?
17:49Post-mortem's estimating time of death between 7.30 and 8pm.
17:54So...
17:55The victim leaves the harbour at 7,
17:58dies between 7.30 and 8 out at sea,
18:01just after he drops anchor.
18:04And cause of death was internal bleeding due to a ruptured spleen,
18:09which, in theory, could have been caused by something
18:13gripping him tightly like the tentacles of the Lusk.
18:18Or, more likely, something else.
18:23Same with the red markings.
18:25Kinda like friction burns.
18:27But there's nothing at the scene to suggest
18:29what might have caused it.
18:31What about the search at the victim's house?
18:33Um, Mati and Seb are just starting.
18:48What?
18:51Sarge!
18:52You have to see this.
18:54Ten-year-old Seb will be losing his mind right now.
18:58Like sea monster central in here.
19:04This is gonna be the best search ever.
19:06Alright, Officer Rose.
19:08You start on the computer, I'll hit the cabinets.
19:10Alright, cool.
19:18You alright, Sarge?
19:20Yeah.
19:21It's just my old boss from Jamaica, I'll call him once.
19:23We're done with this.
19:24Alright.
19:35So what do we know about our victim?
19:37Giles Parry worked as a paramedic back in the UK
19:40until he moved out here seven years ago.
19:42Spent all his savings buying a boat
19:45and earned a small income
19:47giving talks about the legend of the Luska.
19:49What about these two?
19:50Any sniff of a motive yet?
19:51We're still waiting on Mr Lyons'
19:54background and financial checks.
19:56But he and Cara have been together just over a year.
19:59Met on a dating app.
20:00Now, as he only met the victim for the first time yesterday,
20:03I'm struggling to find a reason for him wanting Mr Parry dead.
20:07But she's a different story.
20:09Miss Smart previously worked as a teacher
20:12before giving that up to write a book a few years ago.
20:15A memoir about losing her son.
20:18I skim read it and she's very honest
20:21about how hurt and angry she felt about Giles' behaviour.
20:25When I needed my husband's love the most,
20:28he disappeared down the rabbit hole of fantasy,
20:30casting me aside for his futile belief in a mythical beast.
20:35I mean, the guy had gone full on Looney Tunes, didn't he?
20:38What was that you said earlier about not being insensitive?
20:42Look, I'm not-
20:43Where it gets interesting
20:44is the book's no longer bringing in any money.
20:47She's basically broke.
20:49I spoke to her literary agent in the UK
20:51and apparently a US TV production company
20:55has offered to make a documentary about her and Giles' son going missing.
20:59It's worth a quarter of a million dollars.
21:03I'm sensing a but.
21:04It going ahead was dependent on Mr. Parry agreeing to appear in the documentary too.
21:12Don't tell me.
21:13He didn't want to.
21:20So we spoke to the staff here.
21:22Well, that dinner you had with Giles,
21:24it wasn't as sedate as you said it was.
21:27According to them, you got quite worked up, Miss Smart.
21:30Angry that your ex-husband was refusing to agree to the documentary.
21:35Well, that's an exaggeration if ever I heard one.
21:37No, it's not. It's the truth.
21:39Charles, please. I need this.
21:40Why are you being so stubborn?
21:42Because I know what they'll do.
21:44Make me have to look like some mad conspiracy theorist.
21:46I hate you, Charles. So much.
21:51I didn't just lose a son seven years ago.
21:54I lost my husband as well.
21:56He never once thought of me that maybe he needed to be there for me.
22:02And even now, years later, I ask for his help because...
22:06Yes, I need the money.
22:07I thought at least he owed me that one favour, but...
22:11No. Not even that.
22:13Thing is, Miss Smart, we checked with the production company
22:15and that documentary's officially got the go-ahead.
22:18So now with Giles dying in suspicious circumstances
22:21and even the locals saying it was the Lusker that did it,
22:24well, it's an even more tantalising proposition than it was before.
22:26You get exactly what you wanted.
22:28No, you're wrong.
22:29I didn't kill Charles to get some documentary made.
22:33I'm not that desperate.
22:36I'll hesitate this.
22:39So you want to tell me where you were two nights ago between 7.30 and 8?
22:43We were here at the hotel.
22:46We were together in our room.
22:49It wasn't me. It just wasn't.
22:54Sir.
23:00That was Matty. She's with the commissioner.
23:02They've got something.
23:12This is the closest I've come to actually seeing it.
23:15The Lusker.
23:16I'm still shaking from what happened.
23:19If there was proof she's out there, this is it.
23:21I've moored my boat a few miles out.
23:23The coordinates are 16 degrees, 32 minutes, 29.8 seconds north.
23:2961 degrees, 55 minutes, 01.8 seconds west.
23:32There's a sinkhole on the seabed there I had previously identified as a possible home for the creature.
23:37Amazing.
23:38It was just getting dark.
23:40I heard it.
23:41I felt it.
23:42I thought as it hit the bow of the boat.
23:45And again, and then again.
23:46I could hear it dragging itself along as it tried to pull away.
23:49It was her.
23:50I know it was.
23:52The Lusker.
23:54I've got to go back again tonight.
23:57Totally amazing.
24:05Just to confirm, no one here actually thinks it was the Lusker that was underneath Giles Parry's boat.
24:11Well, I'm not ruling it out, Inspector.
24:13Apart from Officer Rose.
24:15No, of course we don't.
24:16But there is more to it.
24:18Giles Parry uploaded this vlog to his website two days before his death.
24:23We checked his GPS and he went back to the same exact location the next night.
24:29Here.
24:31And this isn't the same location Giles' body was found?
24:35Where his son Benjamin went missing?
24:37No, that was two miles away here.
24:39But the thing is, when Giles got back, he deleted this video straight away.
24:44So why?
24:46Catherine spoke to him shortly after.
24:48And he seemed troubled.
24:51Everything all right, Giles?
24:55Hmm.
24:56He asked me about the Commissioner.
24:58Knew I was friends with him and said he might need to speak with him.
25:02Is it to do with Benjamin's disappearance?
25:06I don't know.
25:08Maybe.
25:08Maybe.
25:16Hang on. These are the same coldness you talked about in his vlog.
25:19I don't know what happened there.
25:21But it's clearly of significance.
25:26We should go out there.
25:27Do a reenactment, yeah?
25:29Same time, same place, same boat.
25:31Find out what this X is all about.
25:33I was so hoping he was going to see that, Inspector.
25:36I can't believe you're going on a monster hunt.
25:39That's not what we're doing.
25:40That's not what you're doing.
25:41Hmm.
25:49I don't understand.
25:51If you're going on a boat trip, why can't I come?
25:54Because it might be dangerous.
25:56Well, then I really want to come.
25:58Well, you can't.
25:59You're staying with Catherine tonight,
26:00and we're getting you home first thing in the morning, all right?
26:03But we need to talk about Dad still.
26:09Okay.
26:11Look, about your dad.
26:12I don't know what he told you, but it certainly wasn't factual.
26:16What he was arrested for, it's serious.
26:19And I should know, because I was there when it happened.
26:23What are you saying?
26:26Hey, Louise.
26:29Listen, there was no miscarriage of justice, all right?
26:32He wasn't falsely accused.
26:34Your dad is guilty.
26:36So, no, I can't help you find new evidence.
26:40And he'll be in prison for a while.
26:43I'm sorry.
26:46So, what happens now?
26:48I just go back home in the morning?
26:51Yeah, of course.
26:53I mean, that's where your mum is, right?
26:55And you don't want to stay with me, do you?
26:58Of course I don't.
27:00I've got a life to get on with.
27:03So, what's your problem?
27:06This must be Eloise.
27:09It's nice to meet you.
27:11Hey.
27:12Thanks for looking after me.
27:14See you on, Robin.
27:21So, my chef will cook you anything you need.
27:39Hey, Inspector.
27:41Ready for me to car stop?
27:42Uh-huh.
27:45You know, sir, this isn't exactly the safest boat I've been on.
27:49The two life rings there are missing their ropes,
27:51so let's hope no one goes overboard.
28:02Is that the Benjamin Perry case for him?
28:04Oh!
28:05Just arrived from Guadeloupe.
28:07The commissioner's making us start going through his arm.
28:31Can I speak to you for a minute about the private master commissioner?
28:42Of course.
28:43I got a couple of missed calls from my old bus in Jamaica today, and I haven't called him back.
28:50Because I think I know what it's to do with.
28:53He phoned me as well, actually.
28:57Damond Dyer was acquitted on all costs.
29:00He's a free man.
29:03I'm sorry.
29:06Have you told any of the team?
29:12Uh...
29:12Seb knows I had a boyfriend that I broke up with before I came here, and...
29:17I told him that I had messed up on a case.
29:21But not that the two were connected.
29:24That my ex is a criminal.
29:28I think I'd rather keep it that way for now.
29:32Nearing the destination now, Commissioner. Dropping the anchor soon.
29:36Thank you, Officer Rose.
29:38Aye, aye, Captain. Aye, aye.
29:48Must have been frustrating, not having oversight of that case.
30:01The Luska?
30:02It can't be.
30:03Whatever it is, it's the same song Giles Barry heard.
30:10You hear that?
30:12Yeah, we heard it.
30:13Can you see anything?
30:14No, it's not the Luska.
30:16Sure, so like it is.
30:17Can you see anything outside?
30:18No, nothing.
30:20Me neither.
30:21Anything now?
30:22Over here, there's something moving.
30:23Where?
30:24Yes, Thomas?
30:25There's something down there.
30:26I can see him moving.
30:28Sergeant Fletcher, what are you doing?
30:30That ain't no sea monster.
30:34Matty!
30:47Superwoman!
30:49You cut my hair supply!
30:50That's Kelvin Mason.
30:52He runs a boat excursion business in the harbour.
30:55There's some sort of box under there.
30:57It looks like it's time to wait.
30:59Just stop it moving!
31:14Inspector, here's the box we salvage from the sea.
31:20You're gone.
31:20We found on your jet ski, Mr. Mason.
31:26Your keys.
31:27Let's see if one of these fits, shall we?
31:33Your box.
31:45Cocaine, I'm guessing.
31:47Around two kilos.
31:49You'll be charged for this.
31:54Look, I'm just a middle man, alright?
31:56I don't sell it.
31:57I don't buy it.
31:59I just make some extra money moving it from A to B.
32:01Giles Perry was on to you, wasn't he?
32:04At first he thought it was the Luska making those noises beneath his boat.
32:11I didn't know he'd moored above me.
32:13Couldn't stop myself from hitting it when I came back up.
32:15That's what he heard.
32:17Me banging against the bottom of his boat.
32:19And when he went to the same location a second time to try and cut sight of it.
32:24Sir, the Luska, I'm going to go back again tonight.
32:27He discovered what you were up to.
32:29That's why he was talking about going to the police.
32:32Said he might need to speak with him.
32:35I didn't know he'd seen me.
32:36When I went back to the harbour.
32:39I know what you're up to, Kelvin.
32:41I pleaded with him not to say anything to the police.
32:45Got to know Giles quite a bit over the years.
32:48Helped him with his research a couple of times,
32:50so I thought he might give me a chance.
32:53And?
32:54He told me he'd think about it.
32:58But didn't reckon he could ignore it.
33:01The next thing he's found floating six miles out at sea, dead.
33:04I didn't do that to him, I swear!
33:07He's got one of yours.
33:08What calibre is it?
33:10It's a nine millimetre.
33:11Why?
33:12Because he found a nine millimetre bullet on Giles Perry's boat.
33:15Is that a coincidence, Mr Mason?
33:17Yes, it is.
33:18I wasn't anywhere near his boat when he died.
33:21Mr Mason, you were questioned seven years ago
33:24when Giles' son disappeared as a witness.
33:28Everybody around the harbour was.
33:30Was that got to do with anything?
33:31So, that also is just a coincidence.
33:36Yes, it is.
33:38Look, if it wasn't you then where were you at 7.30 the night Giles Perry was murdered?
33:43Um, I was taking a drink with a guy who works for me.
33:46Um, a fella named Jackson.
33:50You fancy another?
33:51Call him, ask him, he'll tell you.
33:53I swear.
33:58But, there's something else you all need to know.
34:01Something that happened before Giles took his boat out.
34:05Poor guy.
34:06I went to speak with him to see if he changed his mind about talking with the police.
34:13When I turned the corner, he was arguing with someone.
34:18Giles called him Rory.
34:20I know your game, Rory.
34:22Giles said he had evidence of some kind.
34:25I didn't hear what.
34:27But he took out this folder and he gave it to him.
34:30Now that the Rory fella, he didn't seem too happy.
34:33Got a bit physical.
34:35He shoved Giles.
34:37Giles fell over and hurt himself.
34:40Then what did you do?
34:41I turned and left.
34:58Right, let's get over to the hotel.
35:00Let's interview our new suspect.
35:07Sir, with respect, shouldn't we just focus on solving the Giles Perry case right now?
35:13This isn't a cold case investigation.
35:15And we've got a new lead now.
35:17I just have this feeling the answer lies right here in front of me.
35:21If one man knew what it was.
35:23Okay.
35:28I admit we argued, Giles and I.
35:31It was more than an argument, Mr Lyons, from what we were told.
35:35Things might have got a bit physical, but what he was saying upset me.
35:40Which was what exactly?
35:41That I was only with Cara for her money.
35:46Rory only told me about this last night.
35:49Giles had scrabbled together enough money to pay a private investigator to look into Rory and his ex.
35:57That's what he found.
36:01So your previous partner invested in your business, which went bankrupt.
36:09She's still chasing you for money.
36:11It was a total mess I made.
36:13Financially.
36:15And personally.
36:17Everything in that file, it's all true.
36:20Apart from the suggestion that I'm doing the same again with Cara, because I'm not.
36:24I think that's why Giles wouldn't agree to the documentary.
36:27He thought that Rory would take the money.
36:29But I don't want a penny.
36:31I just want to be with Cara.
36:34So why did you follow Mr Perry down to the harbour after dinner?
36:38Because he was being so unforgiving towards Cara.
36:41Saying that she was using their son's tragedy to line her own pockets.
36:44I wanted him to know the truth.
36:51We're adopting a baby.
36:53Starting a family.
36:55And it's taken all the courage in the world for her to do this.
36:58And you told him.
37:06All Cara wants is to be a family.
37:13I think it threw him.
37:15Then he picked up his things and got on his boat.
37:19And that's the last time you saw him?
37:23Mr Lyons?
37:24Rory?
37:27He phoned me.
37:29And I got back to the hotel about half an hour later.
37:33He was out at sea.
37:36What did he say?
37:38He asked if I loved Cara.
37:41Like he needed to get it confirmed.
37:44And you said?
37:49Yes, I do.
37:50So very much.
37:57Then he just hung up.
37:59Then he just hung up.
38:25Like he was being attacked by a sea monster.
38:27Or murdered.
38:28Nope.
38:29It sounds to me like a guy who'd finally made his peace with the world.
38:33Which kind of makes me wonder.
38:35You know.
38:37Did Giles Parry take his own life?
38:39But then try to make it look like it was the Lusker that did it.
38:42To prove to everyone that he was right all along.
38:46That doesn't feel right.
38:48Anyway, that doesn't explain the bullet.
38:50Why was that there?
38:51So what happened?
38:53He was alone on that boat.
38:55Six miles out at sea.
38:57And our three suspects were all on dry land when he died.
39:00How and why did he end up dead?
39:05Maybe these two have the answer.
39:09Just come straight from the lab.
39:11Please tell me it's good news.
39:13There are no striation marks on the bullet.
39:16So they can't match it to Kelvin Mason's gun.
39:19Same make, same calibre, but...
39:21Hang on. No striation marks at all?
39:23Said they've been worn away by incrustation of marine organisms.
39:29Corrosion patterns suggest that bullet has been on the seabed for six to eight years.
39:34Basically, they're just saying the bullet is some sea debris.
39:37But that doesn't explain how it ended up on the boat in the first place.
39:46How did Giles Pyro take his own life?
39:49Did Giles Pyro take his own life?
39:49The two liferings there are missing their ropes.
39:52Giles Pyro worked as a paramedic back in the UK until he moved out here seven years ago.
39:57The Rory fella, he didn't seem too happy.
40:00Got a bit physical.
40:02Is it to do with Benjamin's disappearance?
40:05I don't know.
40:06He asked if I loved Kara.
40:09Bingo.
40:11I know what happened to Giles.
40:12And how he ended up dead like that.
40:28Sir, we cracked the case.
40:31Benjamin Parry's disappearance.
40:34I think I know what happened.
40:38CCTURY DOES
40:39Spot the difference.
41:01we have a lot to thank this little bullet for it's helped us make sense of the present and
41:07the past in the present it's what solved the mystery of your ex-husband's death miss mark
41:13leading me to finally understand why and how Giles Parry's body was found dead in the water
41:19looking like the Luska the legendary sea monster he'd spent seven years searching for
41:24had finally caught up with him and in terms of the past we'll come to that surely throughout this case
41:32we've worked on the basis that whatever happened to mr. Parry it all happened at the same time while
41:39he was out at sea but we've now realized that his injuries were actually sustained in two separate
41:47locations the first injury the bruising to his stomach and the rupturing of his spleen that
41:54happened on dry lands down by the harbor when you and he tussled really you're saying it was me you
42:02will be charged with involuntary manslaughter we know you didn't mean to kill Giles far from it
42:08however his subsequent fall from your push caused a serious internal injury he just didn't know it at
42:19the time oh my god Giles was totally unaware that his life was slipping away that's why he walked
42:27away from you got on his boat and went out to sea he was probably already a few miles out
42:34when he
42:35started to feel ill initially some discomforts in his abdomen feeling faint feverish but it was only by
42:44the time he reached his destination six miles from lands that he fully comprehended what was happening
42:52we know Giles used to be a paramedic so it's safe to assume he worked out what was wrong that
43:01he had
43:01minutes left to live I'm so sorry and if his imminent death wasn't a grim enough prospect mr. Parry also
43:10realized that if his body was found on deck we would start to question how he was fatally injured
43:16and the post-mortem would more than likely lead back to the altercation he had with you mr. Lyons and
43:22subsequently some time in prison and knowing what you told him about yourself and Cara wanting to start
43:28a family well he didn't want to inflict any further suffering on you both that's where he phoned
43:35and asked Rory if he loved me that's why he needed to know to be sure do you love her
43:43he could protect
43:45you both by making it look like he killed himself it was deus Thomas here who noticed the ropes were
43:55missing from the life rings on Giles's boat the two life rings there are missing their ropes so let's hope
44:00no one goes overboard I didn't think anything of it at first but then when I started to understand
44:06what happened that day that's when I realized why those ropes weren't there
44:16and hopefully this call will confirm it
44:20yeah they found the ropes tied to the boat spare battery on the seabed
44:24okay thank you sergeant Fletcher so we think Giles knew that if he tied those ropes around his body
44:35tightly enough then leave red markings friction burn and therefore when his body was found he hoped this
44:42would also explain his internal injuries the bruising all so it would misdirect from you mr. Lyons
44:50any similarities to the Luska was a coincidence if that's what happened why was his body found floating on
44:57the surface because of this as Giles sank to the seabed by some quirk of fate he saw this bullet
45:10maybe it's got caught under a rock or wedged in some coral we can't be sure but there it was
45:18a single
45:20bullet in the same spot his son went missing and after his recent discovery of the smuggling that was
45:28going on out at sea not far from the same spot Giles is already beginning to suspect that his son's
45:34your son's
45:34disappearance might have been for more sinister reasons is it to do with Benjamin's disappearance
45:42maybe so we believe he loosened the rope grabbed the bullets and allowed himself to float to the surface
45:50determined to cling to life as long as possible but by then it was already too late for him to
45:58climb back on board his boat
45:59so with his life ebbing away Giles did one last thing one final attempt to let everyone know what he
46:06discovered on the seabed he threw this bullet onto the deck a message from him to us to not give
46:16up on
46:16his son but maybe Ben's killer was still out there that's what you meant about the bullet helping with
46:37that bullet we found it turns out it's been sat on the seabed for the last seven years in the
46:47exact same location
46:48when Ben's son Giles and Kara's son went missing it was fired from your gun to kill Benjamin Barry
46:58but he drowned at sea what why you know saying he was shot
47:08this photograph was taken the day before Benjamin went missing
47:14it's of him and his father outside your office
47:19and this was taken by one of the Guadalupe police officers the day after he disappeared
47:28your witness statement is unremarkable in every way apart from this photograph
47:36I had to get the magnifying glass out to really notice but in this photograph of Benjamin and his father
47:46the wall behind your desk is set farther back from the window than it is in this photograph of you
47:55where it appears 40 or 50 centimeters closer to it which left me wondering why less than 48 hours later
48:08your office had seemingly shrunk the only conclusion I could draw was because a new wall had been built
48:18leaving Benjamin's body at sea would have meant there was a possibility he could be formed
48:25and if he was then it would be discovered that he'd been shot
48:33whereas if you hid his body and everybody assumed he drowned at sea then maybe you'd get away with it
48:45but where to hide it we have a team at your office as we speak about to tear down that
48:55wall
48:56so if I'm wrong about what's been hidden behind it the last seven years you have nothing to worry about
49:04but if I am right now is your chance to start talking
49:24that morning
49:25that morning
49:27seven years ago
49:30it was real early
49:33but when I got back up with the day's delivery
49:38he was there recording me on his phone
49:42for evidence
49:44I mean stupid idiot
49:46why would you do that?
49:48because you left me no choice
49:51I had to act fast
49:53so I got the lockbox
49:55which you moved to a new location
49:58two miles away
50:00where your smuggling continued
50:03until Giles Parry discovered what you were doing all these years
50:08and Benjamin Parry's body
50:15I took it ashore
50:20I put him in one of the cases we stole the diving gear
50:25it's air tight so
50:28I spent the whole day
50:29getting everything I needed for that wall
50:32I spent the whole night building it
50:37and I have lived with it
50:39every day since
50:41mind how you go?
50:43and y'all let me know how it went, huh?
50:46you're with real pirate royalty now, huh?
50:49knowing that poor boy
50:50is stuck behind that wall
50:52will haunt me forever
51:00Kelvin Mason
51:01I'm arresting you for the murder of Benjamin Parry
51:05you do not have to say anything
51:07but it may harm your defence
51:08if you do not mention my question
51:10something that should be
51:19this call is from a person currently in prison in Antigua
51:26Solomon
51:27Merriven
51:27I know you said you didn't want anything to do with me no more
51:30but this isn't about me
51:31it's about Eloise
51:33I know she ran away from her aunt and came to you
51:35because she doesn't like it there
51:36no, it's because you told her you were innocent and I'd get you out
51:40you lied to her
51:41maybe I was a bit free and easy with the truth
51:43but
51:44she's there because she needs you
51:46she doesn't even know me
51:47she does a bit
51:49I told her some things
51:51that

51:53a good man
51:56Solomon
51:57I
51:57I can't
51:58that you are a man
51:59I know I'm not
52:02I've made a mess of pretty much everything in my life
