00:00Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you the Luska.
00:05This giant cephalopod-like sea creature, half octopus, half shark, is, 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, who believe this gigantic cryptid to be as real
00:26as you or I.
00:27I will present to you the evidence I have collated, proving this animal is no mere figment of the imagination.
00:33And it all begins with the first sighting, off the coast of St. Marie in 1823, by 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 where you can experience the exact place my ancestor witnessed.
01:12The Luska.
01:14Roll up, roll up!
01:16You know you want to.
01:17And I promise you guys, you will not be disappointed.
01:22So, how was it?
01:24You're a believer now.
01:26To be honest, I 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, or we've come to a soup kitchen by mistake.
01:53Hello, Giles.
01:55Cara.
01:56It's been a while, hasn't it?
01:58Oh!
02:00Er...
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.
02:24Um, would you like a glass of wine?
02:26Just a cup of coffee will do me, ta.
02:28Um, let me see if I can find a waiter.
02:32Sit down.
02:39So, how are you?
02:41I mean, you know, the...
02:43the 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.
02:55If you fancy joining, you remember him together.
02:57No, I'd rather stay here.
02:59With Rory.
03:13Come on.
03:19Poor 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.
04:09That's all.
04:12Thanks.
04:26Bye.
04:29Bye.
04:32Bye.
04:34Bye.
04:37Bye.
05:10Morning, sir. You good?
05:13No, I am not good.
05:16What's wrong?
05:17Turns out I am an uncle.
05:20Yes, Mum.
05:22What's I came to visit Uncle Merv anyway?
05:26That's Eloise.
05:27The niece I didn't know I had.
05:29So 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?
05:36Okay. Clearly 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 Auntie Vondra.
05:55Well, she doesn't like it better, so she ran away and came in.
05:58They'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.
06:16Remember?
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.
06:55But 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.
07:07They're all over his front and his back.
07:10And the bruising here.
07:12Some people are saying it was caused by the Luska.
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.
07:24Half shark, half octopus.
07:26Wraps 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.
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, all right?
07:44Except there's a little more to it than that, sir.
07:47That's why he's here.
07:55I always wondered whether this would come back to haunt me.
07:59Seven years ago, yesterday,
08:01Giles Parry's 16-year-old son, Benjamin, ground 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.
08:23Then he ended up dead himself.
08:26Mm-hmm.
08:27Was he stormy yesterday?
08:30I called the harbour master.
08:31It 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 the 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 Lusker.
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, though, right?
09:15What's that?
09:24It's a bullet.
09:26Our victim wasn't a shock, right?
09:29No.
09:30And there was no gun found on the boat?
09:32Not that tough phone so far.
09:38So, what is that doing here?
09:48I don't know what happened on that boat, but 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.
10:04From what I know, James Parry was an isolated finger, but he did drink at her bar, and he would
10:11talk to her.
10:13I'm also going to contact the Guadalupe police and request the Benjamin Parry case files.
10:20Well, so 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 stayed there
10:31clean.
10:33I bet that ran cool.
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 than 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 Kara's son's passing.
11:38I'm sorry to ask, Miss Mark, 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 Losca 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 Losca.
12:10The weather turned bad. The sea was rough. He never came back.
12:20I kept hoping they'd find him alive with a life jacket on just floating somewhere.
12:26As 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.
12:44Whereas he...
12:48Giles was convinced the Losca took their son. He became obsessed.
12:53That's why he stayed on here when I left. To try and prove the Losca exists.
12:59And he really, truly believed in it.
13:05And yesterday, did you see Giles at all?
13:08We 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. Still 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 believe he bought one while he was out here.
13:32What 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.
13:54Hey, my friend's dad swears he saw the Losca one time.
13:57Okay, sir. Come on.
13:59It's never the same afterwards.
14:02Keep our focus on the keys.
14:31Auntie Vondra.
14:32I mean, Vondra.
14:39Vondra, Vondra.
14:41It's all right.
14:42She's back at my place.
14:43She's safe.
14:44Thanks.
14:44Okay.
14:44Look, I'll call you back in a bit.
14:47Mo?
14:49Hey, Uncle Mo.
14:51Hope you're hungry.
14:52I ordered lots.
14:54Which reminds me, I borrowed your credit card this morning.
14:57Needed it to pay for the boat ticket back to St. Marie.
14:59And dinner.
15:00You 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 our boat back home.
15:22All right.
15:24What about your dad?
15:27We need to work out a plan, Uncle Merv.
15:29A plan for what?
15:30To get him out of prison.
15:32To find evidence that proves he's innocent.
15:36Okay.
15:37What 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 miscarriage.
15:48A miscarriage of justice.
15:51So, we need to help him.
15:54Right?
15:57Why don't you go and get some plates and cutlery, yeah?
16:07Sal, you idiots.
16:29Solomon clearly hasn't told her about the scam he got caught up in.
16:32That he's gotta shot someone.
16:35And held me hostage.
16:38He's dressed it up like he was the victim.
16:41and she obviously idolizes him what are you going to do i should just tell her the truth right
16:50just tell her in a nice way not in a your kind of way what is a my kind of
16:58way you know sometimes
17:00you can be a tiny bit insensitive insensitive me insensitive that is rubbish i mean if
17:10anything it's everyone else who is too sensitive sure that's totally what it says
17:18hey louise
17:22right um i'm off to work now so we can have dinner later yeah and we'll um we'll talk
17:32okay uncle mark
17:37old school i like it
17:45right where we at with the case anything from the lab yet
17:50postmortems estimating time of death between 7 30 and 8 p.m
17:53so the victim leaves the harbor at seven dies between 7 30 and 8 out at sea just after he
18:02drops anchor and cause of death was internal bleeding due to a ruptured spleen which in
18:10theory could have been caused by something gripping him tightly like the tentacles of the
18:17lusk or more likely something else same with the red markings kinda like friction burns but there's
18:27nothing at the scene to suggest what might have caused it what about the search of the victim's
18:33uh matthia and seb are just starting
18:39so
18:51you have to see this ten-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 all right i'm so rose you start on the computer i'll hit
19:10the
19:10cabinets all right cool
19:18you all right sarge yeah it's just my old boss from jamaica i'll call him once we're done with this
19:35so what do we know about our victim giles parry worked as a paramedic back in the uk until he
19:41moved out here seven years ago spent all his savings buying a boat and earned a small income
19:46giving talks about the legend of the luska what about these two any sniff of the motive yet we're
19:52still waiting on mr lions's background and financial checks but he and kara have been together just over
19:58a year met on a dating app now as he only met the victim for the first time yesterday i'm
20:04struggling
20:04to find a reason for him wanting mr parry dead but she's a different story miss smart previous
20:11worked as a teacher before giving that up to write a book a few years ago a memoir about losing
20:17her
20:17son i skim read it and she's very honest about how hurt and angry she felt about giles's behavior
20:25when i needed my husband's love the most he disappeared down the rabbit hole of fantasy casting
20:31me aside for his futile belief in a mythical beast i mean the guy had gone full-on looney tune
20:37didn't he
20:38what was that you said earlier about not being insensitive look what i'm not where it gets
20:44interesting is the books no longer bringing in any money she's basically broke i spoke to her
20:50literary agents in the uk and apparently a us tv production company has offered to make a documentary
20:56about her and giles's son going missing it's worth a quarter of a million dollars oh i'm sensing a but
21:04it going ahead was dependent on mr parry agreeing to appear in the documentary too don't tell me
21:13he didn't want to
21:20so we spoke to the staff here well that dinner you had with giles it wasn't as sedate as you
21:26said it was
21:26according to them you got quite worked up miss smart angry that your ex-husband was refusing to
21:34agree to the documentary well that's an exaggeration if ever i heard one no it's not it's the truth
21:38just please i need this why are you being so stubborn because i know what they'll do make me
21:44have to look like some mad conspiracy theorist i hate you joss so much
21:51i didn't just lose a son seven years ago i lost my husband as well he never once thought of
21:57me
21:58that maybe he needed to be there for me and even now years later i ask for his help because
22:05yes i need the money i thought at least he owed me that one favor but no not even that
22:12thing is
22:13miss smart we checked with the production company and that documentary has officially got the go ahead
22:18so now with giles dying in suspicious circumstances and even the locals saying it was the lusker that
22:23did it well it's an even more tantalizing proposition than it was before you get exactly what you wanted
22:28no you're wrong i didn't kill chance to get some documentary made i'm not that desperate i visit this
22:39so you want to tell me where you were two nights ago between 7 30 and 8. we were here
22:44at the hotel
22:46we were together in our room it wasn't me it just wasn't
22:54sir
23:00that was my tissues with the commissioner they've got something
23:12this is the closest i've come to actually seeing it the lusker i'm still shaking from what happened
23:18and when there was proof she's out there this is it i've moored my boat a few miles out that
23:23coordinates are 16 degrees 32 minutes 29.8 seconds north 61 degrees 55 minutes 0 1.8 seconds west
23:32there's a sinkhole on the seabed there where i previously identified as a possible home for the
23:36creature amazing it was just getting dark
23:39i heard it felt it a thud as it hit the bow of the boat and again and then again
23:46i could hear it
23:47dragging itself along as it tried to pull away it was her i know it was the lusker i've got
23:54to go back
23:55again tonight totally amazing
24:04just 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 apart from officer rose no of course we don't but there is
24:17more to it giles parry uploaded this vlog to his website two days before his death we checked his gps
24:24and he went back to the same exact location the next night here and this isn't the same location
24:33giles's body was found where his son benjamin went missing no that was two miles away here
24:39but the thing is when giles got back he deleted this video straight away so why catherine spoke to him
24:47shortly after and he seemed troubled everything all right giles
24:55he asked me about the commissioner knew i was friend with him and said he might need to speak with
25:02him is it to do with benjamin's disappearance i don't know maybe
25:16hang on these are the same coordinates he talked about in his vlog
25:19now i don't know what happened there but it's clearly of significance
25:25we should go out there do a reenactment yeah same time same place same boat find out what this x
25:32is
25:33all about i was so hoping you was gonna say that inspector i can't believe you're going on a monster
25:38hunt that's not what we're doing that's not what you're doing
25:49i don't understand if you're going on a boat trip why can't i come because it might be dangerous
25:56well then i really want to come well you can't you're staying with catherine tonight we're getting
26:01you home first thing in the morning all right but we need to talk about dad still
26:10okay look about your dad i don't know what he told you but it certainly wasn't factual what he
26:16was arrested for it's serious and i should know because i was there when it happened what are you saying
26:26hey louise listen there was no miscarriage of justice all right he wasn't falsely accused your dad
26:34is guilty so no i can't help you find new evidence and he'll be in prison for a while
26:43i'm sorry

32:07his boat
32:11i didn't know he'd moored above me i couldn't stop myself from hitting it when i came back up that's
32:16what i did
32:16what he heard me banging against the bottom of his boat and when he went to the same location a
32:22second time to try and cut
32:23that sight of it
32:24hello the luska i'm gonna go back again tonight he discovered what you were up to that's why he was
32:30talking about
32:30going to the police said he might need to speak with him i didn't know he'd see me when i
32:37went back to
32:37the harbor i know what you're up to kelvin i pleaded with him not to say anything to the police
32:45got to know giles quite a bit over the years helped him with his research a couple of times so
32:50i thought he might give me a chance
32:53and
32:54he told me he'd think about it
32:57but
32:58didn't reckon he could ignore it
33:00the next thing he's found floating six miles out at sea dead

33:09it's a nine millimeter
33:11why
33:11because we found a nine millimeter 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 when giles's son disappeared as a witness
33:28everybody around the harbor was
33:30was that got to do with anything
33:31so
33:33that also is just
33:35a coincidence
33:35yes it is
33:38look if it wasn't you then where were you at 7 30 the night giles perry was murdered
33:43um
33:44i was taking a drink with a guy who works for me
33:46um
33:47a fella named jackson
33:50you fancy another
33:51call him ask him he'll tell you
33:53i swear
33:57but
33:59there's something else you all need to know
34:01something that happened before giles took his boat out
34:05poor guy
34:06i went
34:07to speak with him
34:09i'll be back in a minute
34:09to see if he changed his mind about talking with the police
34:13when i turned the corner
34:15he was arguing with someone
34:18giles called him rory
34:19rory
34:20i know your game
34:21rory
34:22giles said he had evidence of some kind
34:24i didn't hear
34:26what
34:26but he took out this folder
34:28and he gave it to him
34:29now that the rory
34:31fella he didn't seem too happy
34:33got a bit
34:34physical
34:35he shoved giles
34:37giles
34:37giles fell over and hurt himself
34:40then what did you do
34:41i turned and left
34:58right
34:58let's get over to the hotel
35:00let's interview our new suspect
35:05sir
35:07with respect
35:09shouldn'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 only i knew what it was
35:23okay
35:28i admit we argued
35:30giles and i
35:31it was more than an argument mr lions from what we were told
35:35things might have got a bit physical but what he was saying upset me
35:39which was what exactly
35:40that i was only with cara for her money
35:46rory only told me about this last night
35:49giles had to scrabble together enough money to
35:52pay a private investigator to look into rory and his ex
35:56that's what he found
36:01so your previous partner
36:03invested in your business
36:05which went bankrupt
36:09she's still chasing you for money
36:10it was a total mess i made
36:13financially
36:15and personally
36:17everything in that file
36:18it's all true
36:20apart from the suggestion
36:21that 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 i don't want a penny
36:31i just want to be with cara
36:34so what did you follow mr perry down to the harbour after dinner
36:38because he was being so unforgiving towards cara
36:40saying that she was using their son's tragedy to line her own pockets
36:44i wanted him to know the truth
36:50we'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
37:00and 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
37:18and that's the last time you saw him
37:23mr lions
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
37:35what 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
38:17so a few minutes before he dies
38:19jaz perry phones his ex-wife's new partner to ask if he loves her
38:23that doesn't sound like he was being attacked by a sea monster or murdered
38:28Nope, it 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 Perry take his own life?
38:39But then try to make it look like it was the Lusker that did it to prove to everyone that
38:44it was right all along
38:46That doesn't feel right
38:48Anyway, that doesn't explain the bullet. Why was that there?
38:51So what happened?
38:53He was alone on that boat six miles out at sea and our three suspects were all on dry land
38:59when he died
39:00How and why did he end up dead?
39:05Maybe they still have the answer
39:09Just come straight from the lab, please tell me it's good news
39:12There are no striation marks on the bullets
39:16So they can't match it to Kelvin Mason's gone same make same caliber, but hang on
39:21No striation marks at all said they've been worn a weave by
39:27Incrustation of marine organisms
39:29Corrosion patterns suggest that bullets has been on the seabed for six to eight years
39:34Basically, they're just saying the bullets is some sea debris, but that doesn't explain how we ended up on the
39:39boat in the first place
39:47Did Giles Pyro take his own life the 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
39:57Not that the Rory fella. He didn't seem too happy got a bit physical
40:02Is it to do with Benjamin's disappearance?
40:05I don't know
40:05He asked if I loved Cara
40:09Bingo
40:10I know what happened to Giles and how he ended up dead like that
40:28Sir
40:29We cracked the case Benjamin Paris disappearance
40:32I think I know what happened
40:38Spot the difference
41:01We have a lot to thank this little bullet for
41:04It's helped us make sense of the present and the past in the present
41:09It's what solved the mystery of your ex-husband's death miss smart leading me to finally understand why and how
41:16Giles Perry's body was found dead in the water
41:19Looking like the Lusker the legendary sea monster. He'd spent seven years searching for
41:24I'd finally caught up with him and in terms of the past
41:29We'll come to that shortly
41:31Throughout this case we've worked on the basis that whatever happened to mr. Parry. It all happened at the same
41:38time while he was out at sea
41:41But we've now realized that his injuries were actually sustained in two separate locations
41:48The first injury the bruising to his stomach and the rupturing of his spleen that happened on dry lands
41:56Donned by the harbor when you and he tussled rory
42:00You're saying it was me you will be charged with involuntary manslaughter
42:05We know you didn't mean to kill Giles far from it. However, his
42:10Subsequent fall from your push caused a serious internal injury
42:17He just didn't know it at the time. Oh my god
42:22Giles was totally unaware that his life was slipping away. That's why he walked away from you got on his
42:28boat and went out to sea
42:31He was probably already a few miles out when he started to feel ill
42:36Initially some discomforts in his abdomen feeling faint feverish
42:42But it was only by the time he reached his destination six miles from lands that he fully comprehended
42:50What was happening?
42:53We know Giles used to be a paramedic, so it's safe to assume he
42:58Worked out what was wrong
43:00That he had minutes left to live
43:03I'm so sorry
43:06And if his imminent death wasn't a grim enough prospect
43:09Mr.. Parry also realized that if his body was found on deck
43:13We were start to question how he was fatally injured and the post-mortem
43:17Would more than likely lead back to the altercation he had with you mr. Lyons and subsequently some time in
43:23prison and knowing what you told him about
43:26Yourself and Cara wanting to start a family
43:29Well
43:30He didn't want to inflict any further suffering on you both
43:33That's why he phoned
43:35And asked Rory if he loved me. That's why he needed to know to be sure
43:42Do you love her?
43:43He could protect you both by making it look like
43:47He killed himself
43:52It was deus Thomas here who noticed the ropes were missing from the life rings on Giles's boat
43:57The two life rings there are missing their ropes, so let's hope no one comes overboard
44:02I didn't think anything of it at first
44:04But then when I started to understand
44:07What happened that day that's when I realized why those ropes weren't there
44:16And hopefully this call will confirm it
44:20Yeah
44:20They found the ropes tied to the boat spare battery on the seabed
44:24Okay
44:25Thank you sergeant Fletcher
44:30So we think Giles knew that if he tied those ropes around his body tightly enough then leave red markings
44:37Friction burn and therefore when his body was found he hoped this would also explain his internal injuries
44:44A bruising
44:46All so it would misdirect from you, Mr. Lyons
44:50Any similarities to the Luska was a coincidence
44:54If that's what happened, why was his body found floating on the surface?
44:58Because of this
45:02As 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
45:15We can't be sure
45:16But there it was
45:18A single bullet
45:21In the same spot his son went missing
45:24And after his recent discovery of the smuggling that was going on out at sea, not far from the same
45:30spot
45:31Giles is already beginning to suspect that his son's, your son's disappearance might have been for more sinister reasons
45:37Is it to do with Benjamin's disappearance?
45:41Maybe
45:42So we believe
45:44He loosened the rope
45:46Grabbed the bullet
45:47And allowed himself to float to the surface
45:51Determined to cling to life
45:53As long as possible
45:54But by then
45:56It was already too late for him to climb back on board his boat
45:59So with his life ebbing away
46:01Giles did one last thing
46:03One final attempt to let everyone know what he discovered on the seabed
46:10He threw this bullet onto the deck
46:13A message from him to us to not give up on his son
46:17But maybe
46:19Ben's killer was still out there
46:22That's what you meant about the bullet helping with the past
46:25My son's case
46:29And has it?
46:37That bullet we found
46:40It turns out
46:42It's been sat on the seabed for the last seven years
46:45In the exact same location
46:48Giles and Kara's son went missing
46:52It was fired from your gun
46:54To kill Benjamin Parry
46:58But he drowned at sea
46:59Why you no 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
47:27Your witness statement is unremarkable in every way apart from this photograph
47:36I had to get the magnifying glass out to really notice
47:42But in this photograph of Benjamin and his father
47:46The wall behind your desk is set farther back from the window
47:52Than it is in this photograph of you
47:55Where it appears 40 or 50 centimeters closer to it
48:01Which left me wondering
48:03Why?
48:04Less than 48 hours later
48:08Your office had seemingly shrunk
48:12The only conclusion I could draw
48:15Was because a new wall had been built
48:18Leaving Benjamin's body at sea
48:21Would have meant there was a possibility he could be formed
48:25And if he was
48:27Then it would be discovered
48:29That he'd been shot
48:32Whereas if you hid his body
48:36And everybody assumed he drowned at sea
48:39Then maybe you'd get away with it
48:45But where to hide it?
48:48We have a team at your office as we speak
48:52About to tear down that wall
48:56So if I'm wrong about what's been hidden behind it
49:01The last seven years
49:02You have nothing to worry about
49:05But if I am right
49:08Now is your chance to start talking
49:24That morning
49:26Seven years ago
49:30It was real early
49:33But when I got back up with the day's delivery
49:38He was recording
49:39He was there recording me on his phone
49:42For evidence
49:44I mean stupid idiot
49:47Why 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
49:59Where your smuggling continued
50:03Until Giles Parry
50:05Discovered what you were doing
50:07All these years
50:09And Benjamin Parry's body
50:16I took it ashore
50:20I put him in one of the cases
50:23We stole the diving gear
50:25It's air tight so
50:28I spent the whole day
50:29Getting everything I needed for that wall
50:34Spent the whole night building it
50:37And I have lived with it
50:39Every day since
50:41Why now 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
51:00Helvin Mason
51:02I'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 when questioned
51:19This call is from a person currently in prison in Antigua
51:26Solomon
51:27Mervin
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 Heloise
51:33I know she ran away from her aunt and came to you
51:35Because she doesn't like it, dear
51:36No, it's because you told her you were innocent
51:39And I'd get you out
51:40You lied to her
51:41Maybe I was a bit free and easy with the truth, but
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 you were
51:53A good man
51:56Solomon, I can't
51:58You are a man
51:59I know I'm not
52:01I have made a mess of pretty much everything in my life
52:04But that's why I'm asking you this one thing
52:07This one favour
52:09Her mum and aunt are cool, but
52:11She's a dad's girl, you know
52:14Me and her
52:16Is something special
52:19And her stupid father's got himself stuck in prison, so
52:23She really needs her uncle in her life right now
52:26Cause you are the closest thing she's got to me
52:38So, that's the queen
52:40She's the one to keep her eye on
52:42All you have to do
52:43Is find the lady
52:45Head is gonna find the lady
52:53He's the one
52:56He, he, he!
53:03He, he, he!
53:04He's a big fan
53:06I love you
53:10He, he, he, he!
53:13He, he
53:14Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
53:23I've had people arrested in Covent Garden for that, you know.
53:25Your dad taught you, I assume.
53:31Look, I'm...
53:33I'm not good at this kind of thing, OK?
53:36Maybe because I've never been an uncle before.
53:42What I'm trying to tell you...
53:43You don't know what you're doing.
53:47When you haven't had a proper family in your life, like I haven't,
53:53you kind of grow up assuming people don't want you or need you.
53:59But when you came to me, I should have been there for you,
54:01and I'm sorry that I wasn't.
54:05But if you're up for giving your Uncle Merv a second chance,
54:09then maybe we can try again,
54:13and I can get to know my needs properly.
54:15Because however it might have looked,
54:18I would really, really like that.
54:23You want to shake on it?
54:25We can do better than that.
54:29After all this time, I've given up any hope of my son's body being returned to me.
54:35So to stand here knowing my boy will be returned home to England,
54:40it means the world to me.
54:43So I'd like to thank the St. Marie Police Force for all their hard work in achieving this.
54:50It's a divert from the steer shot.
54:52When all hope is lost.
54:54But it seems like you might never get the answer.
54:56Yeah.
54:59But I'd especially like to thank
55:02Commissioner Selwyn Patterson
55:04for uncovering a truth that no one else was able to.
55:08I will be forever grateful.
55:16What's going on?
55:18It's for you.
55:20You're the man.
55:31So that diverged.
55:33It's for you.
55:34Some guy named Damon said to give him a card when he got the charm.
55:59I'm going to go eat, Inspector.
56:01Sarge, Inspector's niece.
56:03Catherine invited us all.
56:05It feels like there's a lot to celebrate.
56:07And you can build up a hunger when you're hunting sea monsters, you know.
56:10Sea monsters?
56:12They didn't tell me what hunting sea monsters.
56:15That's because we weren't.
56:16Well, not all of us anyway.
56:18All right, Eloise, this is Commissioner Patterson, my boss.
56:21It's a pleasure to meet you.
56:24You too.
56:25Right, let's go.
56:26Come on.
56:26You like playing card games, Commissioner Patterson?
56:29All right, let's not start going down that road, young lady.
56:32The man speak for himself.
56:33As it happens, I do like playing cards.
56:36Yeah, but not the kind of card she wants to play.
56:38Honestly, Commissioner, in fact, everyone, do not play cards with this girl.
56:42Oh, come on!
56:51Was she just trying to hustle the Commissioner?
56:53Yeah.
56:56Welcome to my family.
57:00You're wondering now what to do.
57:04Now you know this is the end.
57:09You're wondering how you should pay
57:13For the way you did behave
57:20Death in Paradise will return
57:23Who's watching who and who can be trusted?
57:26That's the question in the new series of The Capture.
57:29Watch now on iPlayer.
57:31Here on BBC One, joining Claudia later,
57:33Jimmy Carr and Jamie Dornan.
57:35That's at 10.40 after the news.
57:36You're wondering now what to do
57:40Now you know this is the end
57:44Yes, sir!
57:51You're wondering now what to do
