00:00I present to you, the Luska.
00:04This giant cephalopod-like sea creature, half octopus, half shark,
00:09is, many believe, the stuff of fantasy.
00:13The kind of fictional monster Jules Verne might dream up.
00:17But then, there are those more open-minded souls, like myself,
00:21who believe this gigantic cryptid to be as real as you or I.
00:26I will present to you the evidence I have collated, proving this animal is no mere figment of the imagination.
00:32And it all begins with the first sighting, off the coast of St. Marie, in 1823,
00:39by this man, a pirate by the name of Pierre Lafitte.
00:51Pierre Lafitte was my great-great-great-grandfather.
00:55I'll tell you no lies.
00:57Still got the journal he had when he was pirating away.
01:00Passed on from generation to generation.
01:03And that's why this is the only boat trip where you can experience the exact place my ancestor witnessed.
01:11The Luska.
01:13Roll up, roll up!
01:15You know you want to.
01:16And I promise you guys, you will not be disappointed.
01:21So, how was it?
01:23You're a believer now.
01:25To be honest, I think I'm even less of a believer than I was before.
01:31I don't know why you're bothered.
01:33Because I want to be prepared.
01:36I'm afraid nothing can prepare you for my ex-husband.
01:44Either that's him, or we've come to a soup kitchen by mistake.
01:52Hello, Giles.
01:54Cara, it's been a while, hasn't it?
01:57Death?
01:57Oh, er...
02:00Stop here.
02:06This is Rory.
02:09Ah, yes.
02:10Didn't realise you were bringing him.
02:13Nice to meet you, Rory.
02:15It's great to finally meet you, Giles.
02:17Can't wait to hear all your stories about the Luska.
02:19Absolutely fascinated about it.
02:21Ah.
02:22Um, would you like a glass of wine?
02:25Just a cup of coffee will do me, ta.
02:27Um, let me see if I can find a waiter.
02:31Sit down.
02:38So, how are you?
02:40I mean, you know, the...
02:42the anniversary.
02:44Feels strange to be back.
02:47Like it was only yesterday.
02:50I'm taking the boat out later, to...
02:52to where it happened.
02:53If you fancy joining, you remember him together.
02:56No, I'd rather stay here.
02:58With Rory.
03:12Come on.
03:18Poor guy.
03:28All right, we'll let her.
03:56It's just a bad dream.
04:05How have you been?
04:06Just went for a walk.
04:08That's all.
04:11Thanks.
04:14Thanks.
04:43Good morning, sir.
04:44You good?
04:45No, I am not good.
04:48What's wrong?
04:50Turns out I am an uncle.
04:52Yes, Mum.
04:53Yes, I understand.
04:55What's I came to visit Uncle Merv anyway?
04:58That's Eloise.
04:59The niece I didn't know I had.
05:01So you're her Uncle Merv.
05:03No, I'm not.
05:05I mean, yes, I am her uncle, but not Merv.
05:07Never Merv, understood?
05:08OK.
05:10Clearly touched a nerve there.
05:13Well, I kind of miss him.
05:14So she's Solomon's daughter?
05:16I don't know why he couldn't just tell me that in the first place.
05:18He could have just said, well, as it happens, I do have a daughter.
05:21Are he and her mother together?
05:23Yeah, not for some time, apparently.
05:25She's supposed to be staying with her Auntie Vondra,
05:27but she doesn't like it there, so she ran away and came in.
05:31They've got a case, I assume?
05:32Oh, my God.
05:34It's not a murder case, is it?
05:37Please let me come on a ride along, Uncle Merv.
05:40Please.
05:40Right.
05:41So, firstly, you're not coming on any ride-along.
05:44And secondly, it's not Uncle Merv.
05:47It's Mervyn.
05:48Remember?
05:50Hi.
05:51I'm Naomi, by the way.
05:53I work with your Uncle Merv.
05:57Right.
05:58Go pack your stuff, young lady.
06:00You've got a boat to catch.
06:01I am sending you back home to Antigua.
06:03Whatever you say, Uncle Merv.
06:05And it's not...
06:09I like her.
06:15Victim's name's Giles Parry, 58 years of age.
06:18Body was found floating six miles out at sea.
06:21Sergeant Fletcher's with the Coast Guard now.
06:23A couple of fishermen going out early this morning came across the body,
06:27but paramedics reckon he'd been in the water since last night.
06:31Thing is, this is already causing a stir on the heart.
06:35Why is that?
06:36Because of those marks on his body.
06:40They're all over his front and his back.
06:42And the bruising here.
06:44Some people are saying it was caused by the Luska,
06:47and that's what killed him.
06:49Sorry, what?
06:51It's a sea monster.
06:52A sea monster?
06:53Like a local legend kind of thing.
06:56Half shark, half octopus wraps its tentacles around you and drags you under.
07:00Hence...
07:01A sea monster?
07:02Not everybody believes in this thing.
07:04Most people don't.
07:06Do you?
07:07No, but it's still part of our history, part of our culture.
07:12Right.
07:13Well, we can knock that theory on the head as a possible cause of death, all right?
07:16Except there's a little more to it than that, sir.
07:19That's why he's here.
07:27I've always wondered whether this would come back to haunt me.
07:31Seven years ago, yesterday,
07:33Giles Parry's 16-year-old son, Benjamin, ground that sea.
07:40In the exact same location as Giles' body was found this morning.
07:46A local fisherman told me that Mr. Parry had sailed out to that spot yesterday to pay his respects.
07:56Then he ended up dead himself.
07:59Mm-hmm.
08:00Was he stormy yesterday?
08:02Call the harbour master.
08:04It was calm for the last 24 hours.
08:06Do we know what time he left the harbour?
08:08Just before seven o'clock, according to the GPS.
08:12Also, there's a boat mechanic who's been fixing Mr. Parry's engine.
08:16He saw him leave.
08:17He says there was definitely nobody else on the boat with him.
08:20It's arrived at a final destination half an hour later.
08:24Radar shows no other boat near it at any point.
08:26So what happened to him?
08:29How did he end up dead with all those weird markings on him?
08:32Unless, you know, it was the last girl.
08:38I hate to break it to you, Officer Rose, but sea monsters don't exist.
08:41No, yeah, I know.
08:44But it'd be cool if they did do all right.
08:47What's that?
08:56Mr. Pulley?
08:58Our victim wasn't shot, right?
09:01No.
09:02And there was no gun found on the boat?
09:04Not that I've found so far.
09:10So what is that doing here?
09:20I don't know what happened on that boat,
09:23but the fact that we found this on it means it's suspicious.
09:28I think someone else was there, you know?
09:34I'm going to talk to Catherine.
09:37From what I know, James Parry was an isolated figure,
09:41but he did drink at her bar and he would talk to her.
09:44I'm also going to contact the Guadalupe police and request the Benjamin Parry case files.
09:51So the search back then wasn't led by the St. Marie team?
09:55As it was, the Guadalupe Coast Guard, who was first contacted when the empty boat was discovered,
10:02they staked there clean.
10:05I bet that ran cold.
10:06I did push for us to have a role, but the senior investigating officer wasn't interested.
10:16There's some people on St. Marie who think I should have pressed harder,
10:22especially when they ran into a dead end earlier on.
10:27It's always been felt more could have been done than by me.
10:37Considering I am already persona non grata,
10:42I would like to do my bit to try and solve this case now
10:47and win back the community's trust.
10:50I've located the victim's ex-wife.
10:53She and her partner are staying at a hotel just outside Tom.
11:05We arrived here two days ago to mark the anniversary of Kara's son's passing.
11:10And I'm sorry to ask, Ms. Smart, but your son Benjamin,
11:15why did he take the boat out on his own?
11:19Giles had always been into UFOs and aliens, that kind of thing.
11:24Our holidays were spent visiting Loch Ness, or the Bermuda Triangle.
11:29The Luska here on St. Marie.
11:31Ben was getting even more fanatical than his dad.
11:34That's why he snuck out on his own and took the boat we'd hired out
11:39for a last-ditch sighting of the Luska.
11:42The weather turned bad, the sea was rough, and he never came back.
11:52I kept hoping they'd find him alive with a life jacket on,
11:56just floating somewhere.
11:58As time passed, you have to accept that he's not coming back.
12:03So you returned home to England?
12:06After ten months, Giles and I were arguing non-stop by then.
12:11I just needed some space, some time to process it all.
12:16Whereas he...
12:20Giles was convinced the Luska took their son.
12:24He became obsessed.
12:25That's why he stayed on here when I left,
12:28to try and prove the Luska exists.
12:32And he really, truly believed in it.
12:37And yesterday, did you see Giles at all?
12:41We had an early dinner at five.
12:43It's great to finally meet you, Giles.
12:45And how was that? How was Giles then?
12:48It was fine. You know, quiet.
12:51Giles was... Giles still as delusional as he ever was.
12:56Did Giles ever own a gun at all?
12:58Not like we were together.
13:00And I struggled to leave.
13:02He bought one while he was out here.
13:04What exactly happened to Giles?
13:06You said that he was found dead at sea.
13:08I assumed it was an accident, but is there more to it than that?
13:13Well, we're not sure yet.
13:15We're still working on that one.
13:26Hey, my friend's dad swears he saw the Luska one time.
13:29Okay, son. Come on.
13:31It's never the same afterwards.
13:34Let's keep our focus on the keys.
14:03Auntie Vondra.
14:04I mean, Vondra.
14:08I'm willing to keep on moving now.
14:10Everyone wants one job.
14:12Vondra, Vondra.
14:13It's all right.
14:14She's back at my place.
14:15She's safe.
14:16Thanks.
14:16Okay, look, I'll call you back in a bit.
14:19Mo?
14:21Hey, Uncle Mo.
14:23Hope you're hungry.
14:24I ordered Lutz.
14:26Which reminds me,
14:27I borrowed your credit card this morning.
14:29Needed it to pay for the boat to get back to St Marie.
14:31And dinner.
14:33You really are your father's daughter, aren't you?
14:35I know, right?
14:37What's going on, Eloise?
14:38Why are you back here?
14:41Because we need to talk about Dad.
14:44We could have done that this morning.
14:46Why didn't you mention it then?
14:47I was waiting for the right moment.
14:49And before I know it,
14:51you're shoving me on our boat back home.
14:55All right.
14:56What about you, Dad?
14:59We need to work out a plan, Uncle Mo.
15:01A plan for what?
15:03To get him out of prison.
15:04To find evidence that proves he's innocent.
15:08OK, um,
15:10what exactly did your dad tell you
15:12about him being arrested?
15:13Just that he was set up
15:15and shouldn't be in jail.
15:17That it's a miscarriage.
15:20A miscarriage of justice.
15:23So, we need to help him, right?
15:29Why don't you go and get some plates and cutlery, yeah?
15:39So, you idiots.
16:01Solomon clearly hasn't told her
16:02about the scam he got caught up in.
16:04That he has got to shot someone
16:07and held me hostage.
16:10He's dressed it up like he was the victim.
16:13And she obviously idolizes him.
16:16What are you going to do?
16:18I should just tell her the truth, right?
16:22Just tell her in a nice way.
16:25Not in a...
16:27your kind of way.
16:29What is a my kind of way?
16:30You know, sometimes you can be a tiny bit insensitive.
16:36Insensitive?
16:38Me, insensitive?
16:40That is rubbish.
16:41I mean, if anything,
16:42it's everyone else who is too sensitive.
16:45Sure.
16:46That's totally what it is.
16:51Hey, Louise.
16:55Right, um,
16:57I'm off to work now.
16:58So, we can have dinner later, yeah?
17:01And we'll, um,
17:04we'll talk.
17:05Okay, Uncle Mark.
17:09Old school.
17:10I like it.
17:17Right.
17:17Where are we at with the case?
17:19Anything from the lab yet?
17:21Post-mortem's estimating time of death
17:24between 7.30 and 8 p.m.
17:26So,
17:27the victim leaves the harbour at 7,
17:30dies between 7.30 and 8,
17:32out at sea,
17:34just after he drops anchor.
17:36And, cause of death,
17:38was internal bleeding
17:39due to a ruptured spleen,
17:41which, in theory,
17:43could have been caused
17:44by something gripping him tightly,
17:47like the tentacles of the Lusk.
17:50Or,
17:51more likely,
17:53something else.
17:55Same with the red markings,
17:57kinda like friction burns,
17:59but,
17:59there's nothing at the scene to suggest
18:01what might have caused it.
18:03What about the search of the victim's house?
18:05Um,
18:06Mattia and Seba are just starting.
18:21all right.
18:23Sarge,
18:24you have to see this.
18:26Ten-year-old Seb
18:27will be losing his mind right now.
18:30Like sea monster Central in here.
18:36this is gonna be the best search ever all right up so rules you start on the computer
18:41i'll hit the cabinets ah cool
18:50you all right sarge yeah it's just my old boss from jamaica i'll call him once we're done with
19:07this so what do we know about our victim giles parry worked as a paramedic back in the uk
19:12until he moved out here seven years ago spent all his savings buying a boat and earned a small
19:18income giving talks about the legend of the luska what about these two any sniff of the motive yet
19:23we're still waiting on mr lions's background and financial checks but he and kara have been
19:29together just over a year met on a dating app now as he only met the victim for the first
19:35time
19:35yesterday i'm struggling to find a reason for him wanting mr parry dead but she's a different story
19:41miss smart previously worked as a teacher before giving that up to write a book a few years ago
19:47a memoir about losing her son i skim read it and she's very honest about how hurt and angry she
19:55felt about giles's behavior when i needed my husband's love the most he disappeared down the rabbit hole of
20:02fantasy casting me aside for his futile belief in a mythical beast i mean the guy had gone full-on
20:08looney tune didn't he what was that you said earlier about not being insensitive look i'm not
20:15where it gets interesting is the books no longer bringing in any money she's basically broke i spoke
20:22to her literary agent in the uk and apparently a us tv production company has offered to make a
20:28documentary about her and joss's son going missing it's worth a quarter of a million dollars
20:34uh i'm sensing a butt it going ahead was dependent on mr parry agreeing to appear in the documentary
20:43too don't tell me he didn't want to
20:52so we spoke to the staff here well that dinner you had with giles it wasn't as sedate as you
20:58said it was
20:59according to them you got quite worked up miss smart angry that your ex-husband was refusing to
21:06agree to the documentary well that's an exaggeration if ever i heard one no it's not it's the truth
21:10joss please i need this why are you being so stubborn because i know what they'll do make me
21:16have to look like some mad conspiracy theorist i hate you joss so much
21:23i didn't just lose a son seven years ago i lost my husband as well he never once thought of
21:30me
21:30that maybe he needed to be there for me and even now years later i ask for his help because
21:38yes i need the money i thought at least he owed me that one favor but no not even that
21:45thing is miss
21:46mark we checked with the production company and that documentary has officially got the go ahead
21:50so now with giles dying in suspicious circumstances and even the locals saying it was the luska that
21:55did it well it's an even more tantalizing proposition than it was before you get exactly
21:59what you wanted no you're wrong i didn't kill chance to get some documentary made i'm not that desperate
22:08i'll hesitate this
22:12so you want to tell me where you were two nights ago between 7 30 and 8. we were here
22:17at the hotel
22:18we were together in our room
22:22it wasn't me it just wasn't
22:26sir
22:32that was my tissues with the commissioner they've got something
22:44this is the closest i've come to actually seeing it the luska i'm still shaking from what happened
22:51if ever there was proof she's out there this is it i've moored my boat a few miles out
22:55tech coordinates are 16 degrees 32 minutes 29.8 seconds north 61 degrees 55 minutes 0 1.8 seconds
23:04west there's a sinkhole on the seabed there right previously identified as a possible home for the
23:08creature amazing it was just getting dark i heard it felt it a thought as it hit the bow of
23:16the boat
23:16and again and then again i could hear it dragging itself along as it tried to pull away it was
23:22her
23:22i know it was the musker i've got to go back again tonight totally amazing
23:37just to confirm no one here actually thinks it was the lusker that was underneath giles parry's boat
23:43well i'm not ruling it out inspector apart from officer rose no of course we don't but there is
23:50more to it giles parry uploaded this vlog to his website two days before his death we checked his gps
23:56and he went back to the same exact location the next night here and this isn't the same location
24:05giles's body was found where his son benjamin went missing no that was two miles away here
24:11but the thing is when giles got back he deleted this video straight away so why catherine spoke to
24:19him shortly after and he seemed troubled everything all right giles
24:27he asked me about the commissioner knew i was friend with him and said he might need to speak with
24:34him is it to do with benjamin's disappearance i don't know maybe
24:48hang on these are the same cauldron that you talked about in his vlog i don't know what happened
24:52there but it's clearly of significance
24:58we should go out there do a reenactment yeah same time same place same boat find out what this x
25:04is all
25:05about i was so hoping you was gonna see that inspector i can't believe you're going on a monster hunt
25:11that's not what we're doing that's not what you're doing
25:21i don't understand if you're going on a boat trip why can't i come because it might be dangerous
25:28well then i really want to come well you can't you're staying with catherine tonight
25:32and we're getting you home first thing in the morning all right but we need to talk about dad still
25:42okay look about your dad i don't know what he told you but it certainly wasn't factual what he was
25:49arrested for it's serious and i should know because i was there when it happened what are you saying
25:58hey louise listen there was no miscarriage of justice all right he wasn't falsely accused your
26:06dad is guilty so no i can't help you find new evidence they'll be in prison for a while i'm
26:16sorry

26:26mom is right and yeah you don't stay with me do you of course i don't i've got a life

27:34is that the benjamin perry case for oh just arrived from guadeloupe commissioners making
27:55a start going through
27:57can i speak to you for a minute about the private master commissioner
28:14of course of course i got a couple of missed calls from my old bus in jamaica today and i

28:39team

28:49i told him that i had messed up on a case but not that the two were connected that my

31:31extra money
31:32moving it from a to b giles parry was on to you wasn't he at first he thought it was
31:37the luska
31:38making those noises beneath his boat
31:43i didn't know he'd moored above me i couldn't stop myself from hitting it when i came back up
31:48that's what he heard me banging against the bottom of his boat and when he went to the same location
31:53a
31:54second time to try and cut sight of it
31:59he discovered what you were up to that's why he was talking about going to the police
32:04said he might need to speak with him i didn't know he'd see me when i went back to the
32:10harbor
32:11i know what you're up to kelvin i pleaded with him not to say anything to the police
32:17i got to know giles quite a bit over the years helped him with his research a couple of times
32:22so
32:23i thought he might give me a chance and he told me he'd think about it but didn't reckon he
32:31could
32:31ignore it the next thing he's found floating six miles out at sea dead i didn't do that to him
32:38i swear
32:38he's kind of yours what caliber is it it's a nine millimeter why because we found a nine millimeter
32:45bullet on giles perry's boat that coincidence mr mason yes it is i wasn't anywhere near his boats when
32:52he died mr mason you were questioned seven years ago when giles's son disappeared as a witness
33:01everybody around the harbor was was that got to do with anything so that also is just a coincidence yes
33:08it is look if it wasn't you then where were you at 7 30 the night giles perry was murdered
33:14um i was taking a drink with a guy who works for me a fella named jackson you fancy another
33:23call him
33:24ask him he'll tell you i swear
33:30but there's something else you all need to know something that happened before jazz took his boat out
33:37poor guy i went to speak with him to see if he changed his mind about talking with the police
33:46when i turned the corner he was arguing with someone giles called him rory i know your game
33:54giles said he had evidence of some kind i didn't hear what but he took out this folder and he
34:01gave it to
34:01him now that the rory fella he didn't seem too happy got a bit physical he shoved giles giles fell
34:10over
34:10and hurt himself then what did you do i turned and left
34:30right let's get over to the hotel let's interview our new suspect
34:39sir with respect shouldn't we just focus on solving the giles perry case right now this
34:45isn't a cold case investigation and we've got a new lead now i just have this feeling the answer lies
34:51right here in front of me before we i knew what it was okay
35:00i admit we argued giles and i it was more than an argument mr lions from what we were told
35:07things
35:08might have got a bit physical but what he was saying upset me which was what exactly that i was
35:14only with cara for her money rory only told me about this last night giles had to scrabble together
35:23enough money to pay a private investigator to look into rory and his ex that's what he found
35:33so your previous partner invested in your business which went bankrupt
35:41she's still chasing you for money it was a total mess i made financially and personally
35:49everything in that file it's all true apart from the suggestion that i'm doing the same again with
35:55cara because i'm not i think that's why giles wouldn't agree to the documentary he thought that
36:00rory would take the money but i don't i don't want a penny i just want to be with cara
36:06so why did you follow mr perry down to the harbor after dinner because he was being so unforgiving
36:11towards cara saying that she was using their son's tragedy to line her own pockets i wanted him to
36:17know the truth we're adopting a baby starting a family and it's taken all the courage in the world for
36:30to do this and you told him all cara wants is to be a family
36:46i think it threw him then he picked up his things and got on his boat and that's the last
36:52time you saw
36:52him mr lions rory he phoned me when i got back to the hotel about half an hour later he
37:06was out at sea
37:08what did he say he asked if i loved cara like he needed to get it confirmed and you said
37:21yes i do so very much
37:29then he just hung up
37:49so a few minutes before he dies giles parry phones his ex-wife's new partner to ask if he
37:55loves her that doesn't sound like he was being attacked by a sea monster or murdered nope it
38:01sounds to me like a guy who'd finally made his peace with the world which kind of makes me wonder
38:07you know did giles parry take his own life but then try to make it look like it was the
38:14lusker that did it to prove to everyone that it was right all along that doesn't feel right anyway
38:20that doesn't explain the bullet why was that there so what happened he was alone on that boat six miles
38:28out at sea and our three suspects were all on dry land when he died how and why did he
38:35end up dead
38:37maybe they still have the answer just come straight from the lab please tell me it's good news
38:45there are no striation marks on the bullets so they can't match it to kelvin mason's gone same make
38:51same caliber but hang on no striation marks at all said they've been worn away by
38:59incrustation of marine organisms corrosion patterns suggest that bullet has been on the seabed for six
39:05to eight years basically they're just saying the bullets is some sea debris but that doesn't explain
39:10how we ended up on the boat in the first place
39:19did giles parry take his own life the two liferings there are missing their ropes giles
39:25pyro worked as a paramedic back in the uk until he moved out here seven years ago now that the
39:30rory
39:30fella he didn't seem too happy got a bit physical is it to do with benjamin's disappearance i don't know
39:38he asked if i loved cara bingo i know what happened to jars and how he ended up dead like
39:45that
40:00so
40:02track the case benjamin parry's disappearance i think i know what happened
40:10spot the difference
40:33we have a lot to thank this little bullet for
40:36it's helped us make sense of the present and the past in the present it's what solved the mystery of
40:43your ex-husband's death miss smart leading me to finally understand why and how giles parry's body
40:50was found dead in the water looking like the lusker the legendary sea monster he'd spent seven years
40:56searching for had finally caught up with him and in terms of the past we'll come to that surely
41:02throughout this case we've worked on the basis that whatever happened to mr parry it all happened at
41:10the same time while he was out at sea but we've now realized that his injuries were actually sustained
41:18in two separate locations the first injury the bruising to his stomach and the rupturing of his spleen that
41:26happened on dry lands down by the harbor when you and he tussled rory you're saying it was me
41:34you will be charged with involuntary manslaughter
41:37we know you didn't mean to kill giles far from it however his subsequent fall from your push
41:44caused a serious internal injury
41:49he just didn't know it at the time oh my god giles was totally unaware that his life was slipping
41:57away that's why he walked away from you got on his boat and went out to sea he was probably
42:05already a
42:06few miles out when he started to feel ill initially some discomforts in his abdomen feeling faint feverish
42:15but it was only by the time he reached his destination six miles from lands that he fully comprehended
42:23what was happening we know giles used to be a paramedic so it's safe to assume he worked out
42:31what was wrong that he had minutes left to live i'm so sorry and if his imminent death wasn't a
42:40grim
42:40enough prospect mr parry also realized that if his body was found on deck we would start to question
42:46how he was fatally injured and the post-mortem would more than likely lead back to the altercation
42:52he had with you mr lyons and subsequently some time in prison and knowing what you told him about
42:58yourself and cara wanting to start a family well he didn't want to inflict any further suffering on you
43:05both that's why he phoned and asked warry if he loved me that's why he needed to know to be
43:13sure
43:14do you love her he could protect you both by making it look like he killed himself
43:24it was ds thomasi who noticed the ropes were missing from the life rings on giles's boat
43:29the two life rings there are missing their rules so let's hope no one goes overboard
43:34i didn't think anything of it at first but then when i started to understand
43:39what happened that day that's when i realized why those ropes weren't there
43:48and hopefully this call will confirm it
43:52yeah they found the ropes tied to the boat spare battery on the seabed
43:57okay thank you sergeant fletcher
44:02so we think giles knew that if he tied those ropes around his body tightly enough
44:08then leave red markings friction burn and therefore when his body was found he hoped this would also
44:14explain his internal injuries the bruising all so it would misdirect from you mr lyons
44:23any similarities to the luska was a coincidence if that's what happened why was his body found
44:29floating on the surface because of this
44:34as giles sank to the seabed by some quirk of fate he saw this bullet
44:41maybe it's got caught under a rock or wedged in some coral we can't be sure but there it was
44:50a single bullet in the same spot his son went missing and after his recent discovery of the
44:59smuggling that was going on out at sea not far from the same spot
45:03giles is already beginning to suspect that his son's your son's disappearance might have been for
45:08more sinister reasons is it to do with benjamin's disappearance maybe so we believe he loosened
45:17the rope grabbed the bullet and allowed himself to float to the surface determined to cling to life
45:25as long as possible but by then it was already too late for him to climb back on board his
45:31boat
45:31so with his life ebbing away giles did one last thing one final attempt to let everyone know what
45:38he discovered on the seabed
45:42he threw this bullet onto the deck
45:45a message from him to us to not give up on his son but maybe ben's killer was still out
45:53there
45:54that's what you meant about the bullet helping with the past my son's case
46:01and has it
46:10that bullet we found it turns out it's been sat on the seabed for the last seven years
46:18in the exact same location giles and kara's son went missing it was fired from your gun to kill
46:28benjamin barry but he drowned at sea why you know saying he was shot
46:40this photograph was taken the day before benjamin went missing
46:46it's of him and his father outside your office
46:52and this was taken by one of the guadalupe police officers the day after he disappeared
46:59you're witness statement is unremarkable in every way apart from this photograph
47:09i had to get the magnifying glass out to really notice but in this photograph of benjamin and his
47:18father the wall behind your desk is set farther back from the window than it is in this photograph
47:27of view where it appears 40 or 50 centimeters closer to it which left me wondering why less than
47:3848 hours later your office had seemingly shrunk the only conclusion i could draw was because a new wall
47:49had been built leaving benjamin's body at sea would have meant there was a possibility
47:56he could be formed and if he was then it would be discovered that he'd been shot whereas if you
48:06hid his body
48:08and everybody assumed he drowned at sea then maybe you'd get away with it
48:17but where to hide it we have a team at your office as we speak about to tear down that
48:27wall so if i'm wrong
48:31about what's been hidden behind it the last seven years you have nothing to worry about but if i am
48:38right
48:40now is your chance to start talking
49:12that morning
49:14for evidence
49:17i mean stupid idiot why would you do that because you left me no choice
49:23i had to act fast so i got the lockbox
49:28which you moved to a new location two miles away where your smuggling continued until giles parry
49:37discovered what you were doing all these years and benjamin parry's body
49:48i took it ashore
49:52i put them in one of the cases we stole the diving gear
49:57it's airtight so i spent the whole day getting everything i needed for that wall
50:06spend the whole night building it
50:10and i have lived with it every day since
50:13why now you go
50:15and y'all let me know how it went huh
50:17you're with real pirate royalty now huh
50:21knowing that poor boy
50:22is stuck behind that wall
50:25will haunt me forever
50:32galvin mason
