04:34I prithee.
04:37Let me show thee where crabs grow.
04:41And with my long nails, I'll dig thee pig...
04:47Pig nuts.
04:51Oh, my God, Michael.
04:55Nathan, we need our first aid here.
04:58Michael, look to me.
05:01Oh, my God, he's not breathing.
05:03Someone call an ambulance.
05:05No!
05:06Quick!
05:07Somebody call an ambulance!
05:38Oh, my God.
05:47yes Thomas what's up are you at the shop sir I am practicing my darts oh can't say you don't
05:54need it since I got myself a decent set of arrows my form was improved get in I'm presuming this
06:03isn't a social call you got a case a suspected poisoning occurred doing a theater performance
06:08the victim collapsed on stage what you sure it wasn't an accident according to paramedics the
06:13symptoms suggest it's cyanide poisoning interesting I think I might just nearly killed Harry what are
06:26you doing man you can't play on here it's not safe Michael Farrah 32 years old suddenly collapsed
06:36halfway through the second act of the performance yeah the tempest the poster said yeah last 10
06:43months they've been touring beaches all over the world with it this was their final performance
06:47sergeant Fletcher's taking all the necessary statements Caliban I'll take it one sec let me
06:52check yes yes it was I mean two points for you inspector how did you work that out well he
07:01looks
07:02monstery you know not human I assume the smell of almonds got the paramedics thinking it was
07:08cyanide which is fast acting so do we know what he consumed before he died well apparently he drank
07:16from this moments before it happened it's a fiasco I mean I'm trying my best here sir I haven't been
07:20here for long I just got here oh this is a fiasco oh it's a traditional Italian wine bottle he'll
07:26have drank from this in act two scene two the famous drinking scene let me check for you again boom
07:32shakalaka two more points for you again inspector it was indeed act two scene two oh the man knows
07:39this Shakespeare he does who knew cherry juice that'll be for the red wine so chances are we're looking at
07:47our murder weapon that's what you think right but it can't be because two others drank from the same
07:53bottle during the performance Stefano and Trinculo that one I don't know sir but based on your previous
07:59farm two points again so what happened to the other two actors who drank from this not a thing the
08:04paramedics checked them out and they seem fine and um they recorded the show seen as it was the last
08:10performance so I will watch it back and check to see what happened but if they did drink from the
08:17same bottle then he must have ingested the poison some other way let's see what the rest of company
08:27have to say these are two that drank from the same bottle as a victim mm-hmm just Gorman and
08:35Anya
08:35Chimba she and the victim were in a relationship together and she's taking it pretty badly who are the
08:42others so this is Richard Dempster he directed this production and he also plays uh Prospero there
08:49comes a moment in every actor's life a certain character's call to you I had no choice I had to
08:59submit okay and this is Nathan Burns he's the company stage manager I swear if there was poison in that
09:06bottle it wasn't me that put it in there actually mr. Burns we're working on the basis that the poison
09:11was
09:12administered another way really oh thank god yeah the cyanide's fast acting so if it was in your
09:18system we pretty much know by now we'd like to know what else mr. Farr consumed in the 20 minutes
09:23or so before he died Mikey never ate for a show not for two or three hours did he drink
09:30anything
09:31um I just sip water what did he drink from uh one of those water flask thingies um oh there
09:39it is
09:43okay so take me through exactly what happened this afternoon anything out of the ordinary we went up a
09:51bit late by about 15 minutes how come um just um technical hitch and once the show had started
10:02oh um Michael was um on stage in scene one he doubles as the bosun take in the top sail
10:0910 to the
10:10master's whistle then a very very swift makeup costume change reappear as caliban in act one scene
10:19two Anya helps um well helped with that then how did he seem then fine and what about before he
10:29went
10:30on stage and collapsed a bit nervous pacing buying his nails he always was before that scene there are a
10:38couple of tricky speeches in it but he wasn't looking ill can any of you think why someone might
10:45want to do this to mr. Farah Mikey was loved by the whole company very talented boy he had the
10:55whole
10:56world at his feet
11:08if we're working on the basis that the killer got the poison into Michael system 15 20 minutes prior to
11:14him dying on stage and it must be one of the cast or a stage crew that
11:21sir why kill someone like that in front of an audience and on the very last show of the tour
11:29i mean after today they could all go home right they never have to see each other again so why
11:35did
11:35he have to die on that stage today this is a public beach right well we're gonna need some security
11:44to
11:44keep an eye on the crime scene i get sergeant fletcher and officer rose to do a sweep of the
11:48place on it
11:58you all right mr dempster oh oh no 10 months on tour will do this you
12:07come on richard it's time to go
12:22well i recognize you from somewhere oh yeah it's a whole community police scheme thing we're doing
12:30sounds thrilling i didn't catch your name in the frenzy of it all sergeant matty fletcher sergeant
12:37matty fletcher would you like to go for a drink with me uh while i'm on the island no that's
12:44inappropriate mr gorman you know with me being a police officer and you a possible suspect
12:49in a murder case right yeah well that makes sense um i hope that wasn't too embarrassing
12:55not for me it wasn't good good um i guess as an actor i lost all sense of shame a
13:00while ago
13:01mm-hmm did he just ask you on a date during a murder investigation that's a red flag right
13:08there maybe he's the killer maybe he's trying to get close to the police to keep an eye on the
13:12investigation or maybe he's just a bozo that's also a possibility crazy man
13:31take a bow mikey because it's all over now i told you it was always gonna end this way
13:50oh that's great man i'll get the beers yeah yeah and some snacks nice what time should we say around
13:56seven ish yeah cool man all right nice one see you then i just arranged a dance night with daryl
14:03tonight he's gonna get his mates around it's gonna be a bit like being back home you know
14:08lads standing around the dartboard beers banter the only thing that's missing is a sticky pub carpet and
14:14some pork scratchings pork scratchings yeah they are the quintessential english pub snack
14:21it's fried pigskin i'll get some sent over for you oh no rush
14:28uh lab results uh yes and they confirmed the victim died from potassium cyanide poisoning
14:36no surprise there they checked michael's own water bottle and found no traces of the poison in it
14:41whatsoever nothing in his water bowl as for the fiasco cherry juice fairly high glucose levels they
14:52noticed but most importantly a lethal dose of potassium cyanide that is surprising poison was in the bottle
15:03that our victim and the other two actors drank from on stage so how can three people drink from the
15:09same
15:09one poison bottle and only one of them die it doesn't make any sense
15:30well we can rule out the pretending to drink theory i mean these guys are drinking from the bottle for
15:35real no question so what if one of the other two actors slipped the poison in on stage just before
15:41michael drank from it yeah rewind it a bit okay play could it be jez now the bottle is in
15:50view the
15:50whole time and he's not adding anything to it oh so michael's not the last person to drink from that
15:56bottle seb's right ania drinks after michael so even if something had been added by jez ania would have
16:02consumed it as well how how do they all drink the same liquid with with poison in it but only
16:13michael farrah
16:14dies who's sergeant fletcher on the phone to oh an actor's agent back in the uk we misspoke with the
16:23rest of the cast this morning a um casey briscoe who plays miranda she said she saw nathan burns a
16:31casting
16:31the victim just moments before the show even started i'm telling you this is all going to
16:35come back on you and sooner than you think and there's rumors going around that there's history
16:39between them so casey slash miranda said we should speak to this agent did you get anything from the
16:44search nothing interesting i was suspicious you know i've never seen him do this before
16:56me neither inspector what's this funky true when you've been home in god i don't know it's been in
17:04my head since yesterday i can't shake it i can't place it wait a minute
17:24bingo it was an advert it was on the telly about five years ago they kept playing it
17:37and why is this relevant wait that's why and i know they can leave a pretty nasty pong but now
17:48i found with worcester i can leave that's nathan burns the stage manager man he's like a better actor
17:54than all of the others put together nathan burns was an actor and he has history with our victim
18:01i just spoke to an agent in london who used to represent nathan she remembers him as being super
18:08ambitious the whiffbuster ad wasn't the end of his rainbow then the agent said about eight years ago
18:13nathan had a really important audition for the production of macbeth at the national theater in
18:18london and he didn't get it but guess who did michael farrow and more than that nathan went to
18:27the police at the time he was adamant that he was spiked before the audition
18:46so i get this big audition and i go down to london and stay in a cheap hotel near the
18:52theater
18:54michael's staying in the same place me and him get chatting in the bar the night before what were you
18:58drinking just softs but michael insists on getting the last round i go to bed at 10. next thing it's
19:06midday and i've missed the audition you think he drugged you he was taking out the competition and you
19:11went to the police they said there wasn't enough evidence whatever he'd given me was already out of
19:16my system what happened after that i never got another break like it did a bit of theater and
19:23education a couple of tv ads with buster yeah with buster
19:31then i quit so you tour with this guy for 10 months and it never comes up
19:41mr burns just before the last show you were seen arguing with michael saying
19:46it's all gonna come back on you and sooner than you think mate you're referring to him sabotaging
19:53your audition that's some revenge spiking his drink like he spiked yours i didn't kill michael
20:01because of what he did to me eight years ago still must have bothered you though right otherwise why bring
20:04it up i just i couldn't stop myself i was never gonna see him again we'll be in touch
20:24there is definitely something he's not telling us you think
20:41rich the police have been asking questions
20:46i didn't tell them what he did to you but if there's heat on me again i don't think i
20:51can stay
20:52quiet any longer
20:57to thine own self be true hey
21:03oh delroy
21:06same again if you would
21:16sure
21:16sir how come you know so much about shakespeare seems unlikely you know with you being a
21:23day of the match a match of the day kind of guy no disrespect
21:28when i was a kid i used to hang around outside the stage doors of western theaters yeah
21:33in case i saw someone famous yeah vin diesel no i don't think vin diesel ever trod the boards of
21:40london anyway i got to know some of the staff and they would let me sneak in and watch whatever
21:46was
21:46on at the time so yeah i have seen my fair share of the bard's works
21:54also i got talking to the actor sometimes and they would say how hard a gig it was you know
22:00the
22:00failed auditions the unemployment doing rubbish jobs just to make ends meet it was it was tough
22:06competitive as our first suspect found out well could it be that that pushed michael to do what
22:12he did to nathan but it also shows there's a dark side to our victim spiking someone's drink just
22:17so he can get the role he wanted that's ruthless well whatever it was that led someone to poison
22:23michael farrah well we still haven't got a scooby how we pulled it off i mean the man died on
22:27stage
22:28right in the middle of a performance drinking from the same bottle as these two but they didn't die he
22:34did
22:38did i wilson speaking yeah i can talk now okay
22:48yeah yeah i understand have you spoken to my brother about this he has right uh okay um well um
22:59thanks for
23:06you know so is everything all right
23:14i knew mum would leave everything to sovereign i just didn't think he'd put the house up for sale as
23:21soon as it was his i thought we'd at least chat about it first and what about your mother's things
23:31according to the solicitor is arranged for house clearance company to take everything and
23:35auction it all off it all seems so rushed to me of course it's going to feel well i would
23:42have liked
23:42at least a last look around the place maybe keep something of us to remember about
23:56then call your brother and tell him that's what you'd like to help him
24:01he's got to understand right
24:18hey you yes uh how can i help oh well actually i thought i could help you you know wind
24:26down after a
24:27hard days policing the streets got some beers picnic blanket and um yeah i thought we could find a
24:35quiet beach and get to know each other mr gorman yes did we not already have this conversation
24:43we did yes but i thought what was happening was you know you were on duty you had your colleagues
24:49around you and i think you were saying what you felt you had to say no come on i'm not
24:56on this island
24:56for very long how often do you get to do this with someone like me let's just have some fun
25:02here we
25:03go here we go here we go hmm yes yes there you go
25:14cheers actually now that i think about it i did say that i was going to meet my friend what's
25:19the time
25:20now oh no you're spilling it you're spilling it oh what a shame i do have somewhere to be right
25:25now though
25:29do not bother me again unless it's related to the case mr gorman you understand
25:38good you enjoy the rest of your evening
25:58sergeant fletcher good morning what you got so i've been doing background checks on the other cast
26:02members and i noticed ania chambers and jez gorman were in the same play back in 2021 and they ended
26:11up getting together and wait for it they only got married a year later hang on i thought ania was
26:17with michael she was she left jez for him during the tour they've been on why did this not show
26:24up
26:25sooner because it wasn't officially registered yet they had a vow ceremony in the forest somewhere
26:30there was a whole midsummer night's dream thing going on yeah yeah you should have seen some of
26:35the photos they posted on social media that was some dress she wore respectfully of course so how
26:41did jez feel about being replaced by michael well according to the other cast members really not so
26:47good seems to be the answer look i don't know who said that but it's nonsense so when ania told
26:58you
26:58she was leaving you for michael you weren't upset sorry why is she here is that normal procedure to
27:04bring a uniform sergeant along it is yep yes it is okay fine so it's nonsense is it that you
27:12were
27:12upset about ania yes i mean any is the one who's losing out not me all our mutual friends are
27:18siding
27:18with me she's the one who's gonna have to move in with her parents when she gets back home not
27:22me
27:22i mean it hurts yeah of course it hurt really hurt but i didn't kill michael because of it i
27:29wasn't
27:30looking for revenge
27:33ah this is my agent so i should probably no
27:37you shouldn't okay she'll leave a voicemail this is a murder investigation mr gorman
27:43and your wife fell in love with the victim that's a very strong motive well that's what you're wrong
27:48actually they didn't fall in love i mean maybe she did i don't know but it wasn't reciprocated what
27:54makes you say that
27:58because he told me so
28:02a few nights before our final performance we all had a bit of a sesh at the hotel bar and
28:08some of us
28:09went for a dip in the sea michael comes up to me and says he's going to end it with
28:13ania because
28:14he's got some off-broadway play and she's not what he needs right now
28:20and did he end it with her yeah five minutes before the beginning of our final show
28:28talk about timing eh
28:38thank you
28:40anya's in room 352 that was seb the security team at the crime scene say somebody tried to break into
28:47the dressing room area last night guess a description is that something that we could have missed
28:53right you and officer else get down to the crime scene let's go and talk to anya
28:58yeah when's the deadline yes said yeah i'm sure i can get something to put me on tape
29:06mikey and i had gone to collect rich from this bar he drinks in
29:11that was why we went up late so that was the technical pitch we literally had five minutes
29:17before the performance was about to start mr dempster come on let's get you dressed fight fight
29:24michael just blurts it out i can't do this anymore i'm going to new york
29:32i'm going alone you gave up your marriage for michael you risked everything
29:40it must have hurt then when he told you it was over between you two so no
29:49what was it that drew you to michael
29:52it felt like
29:54the kindred spirit it was something i'd never had with jess
29:59in what way mikey cared so much about his work but it terrified him he was just striving to be
30:08as
30:08good as he could and knowing it could all be torn down by a critic or the audience and that
30:15bum
30:15ability drew me to him because i feel it too in everything
30:22okay so in that moment when he told you'd finished with you you must have felt betrayed
30:29angry and within the oa he was dead what what you think i did it because of i remember how
30:39even
30:43you think i carry around around a bottle of cyanide with me just in case i get dumped
30:48i mean and if you've forgotten i drank from the same bottle as him why would i do that if
30:54i knew
30:54there was poison in it
31:01you know my mom's church has this dirty thing going on and sometimes think about doing a bit
31:09to myself you know it's just the words sometimes i really struggle with words like um
31:22the winds did sing it to me and the thunder that deep and dreadful organ pipe pronounced the name
31:29of prosper it did base me trespass base me trespass i mean what does that even mean like base me
31:37trespass like a boombox type of base less of the base and more of the searching sergeant fletcher
31:42you know commissioner afternoon afternoon afternoon sir might i have a word
31:53how is the investigation going we're making progress sir we've already got a few suspects in mind
32:00is everything all right sir a complaint has been made accusing you of unprofessional conduct
32:09by who yes gorman claims you tried to initiate a romantic relationship with him he said what and
32:18when he turned you down twice you pursued him as a suspect in the case that is just not true
32:26we interviewed
32:28him because there was evidence to suggest he had a motive and it was mr gorman who asked me out
32:35twice
32:36i swear to you sir he is making this all up i mean i would never do something like that
32:42sir you believe
32:44me right look sir ask officer rose he was there the first time mr gorman asked me out he will
32:52tell you
33:05what exactly what am i looking for yes though cannot find a thing
33:14what am i looking for yes sir
33:28sarge i think i found something what is it
33:37what am i looking for yes sir it's a beach like a key with a few of them two minutes
33:42of the road
33:45what am i looking for yes sir and i'm assuming that's the cyanide
34:12it's in the throat bozenges you're all right then mr dempster
34:23right mr dempster this lot has got your fingerprints all over it no one else's you care to explain

34:47good publicity in the states well at the same time we had the chance of extending our tour by three
34:53months to south america and you didn't want to lose your caliber no and i mean michael was contractually
34:58obliged to stay if further dates were added i'll refuse to release him well we know michael was

35:12trinidad we all spent the day by the pool
35:18cheers thank you i didn't realize till it was too late oh dear boy putting shots of vodka in my
35:25soft
35:25drink all day once i got the taste for it well double um double whiskey please 20 years without so
35:34much
35:34as a sip it all came crashing down nathan and dear anya they were first to realize i was back
35:41on the
35:41source took it in turns blessing bring me to bed did you tell them what michael did yes i don't
35:49think
35:49anya believed me but but nathan did nathan yeah there is definitely something he's not telling us
35:56he said that michael had done something not dissimilar to him once despite his drink
36:03so that's what nathan was holding back when he confronted michael before the final show it wasn't
36:10just about his experience eight years ago i'm telling you this is all going to come back on you
36:15and sooner than you think mate it was also about what he'd been doing to you the irony of it
36:20is that
36:21funding fell through in the end tour was never extended michael got exactly what he wanted no
36:26i had the sense he usually did which brings us back to this little collection i think he poisoned one
36:34of these lozenges gave it to michael backstage then added poison to that wine bottle on stage after he
36:40died to misdirect us make us think that's what killed him afraid my little plan wasn't quite so smart
36:48well and not so deadly bottle doesn't contain cyanide contains lysergic acid diathlamine
37:02lsd the hallucinogen objecting one of the lozenges but not with cyanide
37:08i don't want to kill him i just wanted him to feel
37:11how he made me feel all powerless
37:17well i wanted everyone to see it
37:21i would go that i am i didn't go through with it
37:27and when michael collapsed on stage and we were called
37:31what was i panicked what was a frenzy i ran to the beach lockers hit the evidence
37:37and say it was you our security sword trying to get into the dressing room
37:41to get that key did you tell anyone else about your plan
37:45i was so smashed half the time i might have left it lying around
37:51i don't know inspector
37:56just a moment
38:03i think he might be telling the truth we've rewatched the video and after michael collapses
38:09no one goes near the bottle he drank from
38:12and look jez garman puts down the bottle here and no one touches it again until
38:19i do there so the poison was in the bottle all along nothing was added afterwards
38:25no sir so how come the other two that drank from the bottle didn't die and he did
38:42you've reached solomon leave a message i'll get back to you
38:47sol it's me again can you call me back please
38:56so i just heard back from a few of jez and anya's friends in the uk
39:00trying to get a handle on their marriage breaking up
39:05right no one was shocked it seems jez wasn't the most faithful of husbands
39:10he saw it as a kind of open marriage right and what happens on tour stays on tour and after
39:18three
39:18years of marriage anya felt betrayed and humiliated just basically took her for granted
39:22but obviously never expected her to actually leave so when anya hooked up with michael that must have
39:28really thrown him
39:34still haven't heard from your brother
39:37you know what i think he's actually ignoring my calls i keep thinking about how things were
39:42between us you know when we last saw each other they weren't great in fact if i'm honest i kind
39:47of think it's because of me that we're going our separate ways then maybe you should go visit
39:51him in antiga you think yeah just go talk to him i'm heading to the lab you want me to
39:59drop you
40:00off at the shack uh no um take me to the high street please i need to get a bucket
40:04and spade
40:07as in a kiddie's bucket and spade for like the beach what other kind of bucket and spade is there
40:15sir um is this for the case or
40:21are you having a break now probably both
40:30right well that's me done
40:38sarge you don't need to stress yourself over this jez garman complaint like you said the man's a
40:44total bozo and the commissioner will definitely see that car he can see through the lies
40:51you're not too sure about it there's something that you don't know about me
41:01from before i uh i came back to see a marine in jamaica i i messed up on a case
41:11big time and
41:14and saw my file and the commissioner knows about it so no no i'm not sure he's gonna have my
41:23back on
41:23this that's why you're transferred
41:32well i mean look
41:35i wouldn't be so sure about that search because one thing i know for a fact is that the commissioner
41:42wants to give everyone a chance because i mean he did with me best decision he ever made
42:13morning sirs officer rolls oh say yes thomas sad somebody's giving the inspector some here
42:22i never thought i see the day the man could have an afro whoever did this making a bold statement
42:39morning inspector have you seen the poster someone's giving you a glow up yeah i've seen it yeah that
42:46really brings out your cheekbones inspector kind of suits you oh and he's got his little kiddie's
42:51buckets and spades four of them in fact one bottle one dose of poison
43:04three people drink the same liquid from the same bottle
43:10now how come only one of them ingest the poison and the other two don't well that's not possible
43:16why not they're standing all of them or poison so how how indeed sergeant fletcher
43:26is that from the lab yes oh
43:32confirms the liquid in the bottle we found in mr dempster's cigar box was lsd
43:40not legal but definitely not murder oh sir your buckets oh
43:57the seas washed all the sand away
44:02it's like it was never there
44:08hang on
44:13the water made the sand disappear
44:17or did it actually disappear i mean what if it was there all along i think you poisoned one of
44:24these lozenges and added poison to that wine bottle on stage after he died no one goes near the bottle
44:30you drank from as for the fiasco fairly high glucose levels and if that explains the ball
44:39then where did the poison come from no no very very swift makeup costume change reappear as caliban in
44:46act one scene two and with my long nails i'll defeat
44:51eat us
44:56you know who did it
44:59and i think i know why but what about the whole inspector i mean that's what the whole biggie is
45:04about right i'm pretty sure i know the how as well uh but officer romes i need you to run
45:09another
45:09talks report on mr farrah but i need a glass of water first you're dehydrated no it's not a drink
45:14it's just a little experiment that will finally prove what really happened on stage three days ago
45:20one glass of water coming right up
45:30now i don't want to talk ill of the dead however i think it's fair to say that michael farrah
45:37was a
45:38selfish and self-interested individual who only cared about what he wanted in life
45:44and how he was going to get it but did the malicious and hurtful things he did to each of
45:50you
45:51really mean he had to die
45:56anya you obviously thought he did because it was you that poisoned him
46:01what no i absolutely did not the mystery we've been trying to solve throughout this case
46:11is how three people could drink from the same poisoned bottle yet only one of them dies
46:21we didn't know it but the answer has been right in front of us from the start
46:26and in a way mr farrah gave it to us in his dying breath and with my long nails i'll
46:34dig the pig and
46:35i with my long nails will dig the pig nuts
46:40because that's the thing about caliban he was a monster right and as part of michael's makeup to
46:46help make him look more monstery his nails are painted and that's how he was poisoned
46:54we need to get this to the lab but we've already had michael's fingernails tested and it was confirmed
47:01there were traces of cyanide in the dried varnish it was administered anya by you during his wardrobe
47:10change from the bosun into his caliban costume makeup and painted fingernails
47:18nathan you said michael would get particularly nervous while waiting to go on stage for act two
47:23scene two yeah a bit nervous he would pace and bite his nails which after touring for 12 months together
47:32and having become intimate with him you also knew enya but but i told you michael only ended things with
47:40me half an hour before he died how could i plan his murder in that time you're right michael's murder
47:47was planned in advance but now we know the killer had to be you then it follows that you'd already
47:53found out michael was planning to end his relationship with you you're getting in yeah maybe and with michael
48:01telling jez as much look i'm gonna end things with anya i think you overheard that conversation after
48:07everything i thought you should know and we believe that's when you decided to kill him then if michael's
48:14fingernails were poisoned well why was there poison in the bottle that was to misdirect us right to confuse
48:23us with the seeming impossibility that three people could drink from it but only one die why weren't
48:29they all killed i'm glad you asked me that mr dempster because to answer that we need to look to
48:35your
48:35own plan to get back at michael farrow we know miss chambers helped to put you to bed a number
48:41of times
48:42when you've overindulged nathan the urania they took it in turns bless him bring me to bed and you
48:49admitted yourself you left the cigar box containing the syringe the lozenges i might have left it lying
48:56around and this little bottle lying around the place we believe you came across this box miss chambers
49:09and that's when your plans started to take shape but instead of using lsd you used a fatal poison
49:22so i have to admit it didn't register with me at first the significance but when our lab tested the
49:29liquid in that poison bottle the cherry juice as for the fiasco they found the level of glucose in it
49:38higher than normal that's where this comes in
49:43just over an hour ago i dropped one of mr dempster's throat lozenges in this glass of water
49:49and now look it's gone dissolved
49:57and that's exactly what you did anya with that wine bottle just before yourself jez and michael went on
50:03that stage for act two scene two you see as long as the lozenge was whole and hadn't dissolved
50:12it was safe to drink from which you all did
50:18but by the time we arrived at the crime scene and sent the bottle to the lab to be tested
50:24lozenge had already melted away releasing the poison making it seem like it had been there all along
50:34but why why did you kill him
50:39anya when you and michael got together you were still feeling hurt and embarrassed
50:48by your husband's ongoing infidelities him taking you for granted so for michael the kindred spirit
50:58that you'd risked everything for to humiliate you even further by finishing with you only a few
51:04months after getting together well a bit more than hurt and that's when you realized that perhaps the
51:13rumors you've heard about michael which you previously dismissed were actually true
51:20that mr dempster's claim that michael spiked him actually happened did you tell them what michael did
51:28yes i don't think anya believed me but and that nathan burns his own past running with mr farrell
51:34was more than mere gossip there's been gossip amongst the cast ideas history between them
51:39so you decided to do something that was long overdue and on behalf of yourself and everyone else here
51:46whose life he'd ruined you would give michael something he deserved to make him the one to finally suffer
51:56his own downfall his own humiliation right there on that stage for all the world to see
52:05and that miss chambers is why you killed him
52:17and your chambers i'm arresting you for the murder of michael farrow
52:22you do not have to say anything but it may harm your defense if you do not mention when questioned
52:30something which you later rely on
52:32you're not seeing enough of yourself already it's never enough
52:50return of the bozo could could we have a quick chat please
52:59i uh i just want to let you know that i officially dropped my complaint this morning and um
53:04and i wanted to say i'm sorry you know you could have lost me my job just because i
53:11wouldn't have a drink with you what kind of sick little messed up brain you have yeah that's
53:16pretty much what your commissioner said wait the commissioner yeah he was the one who insisted
53:21i apologize and said he was going to charge me with wasting police time he caught my agent he's a
53:26pretty terrifying guy actually oh and there he is okay well look i'd rather not have to deal with
53:34him again so i'm really sorry
53:48sir he apologized he did thank you sir i'm sorry i couldn't get him to drop his complaint sooner
53:57the man was clearly making it all up so you knew he was lying all along of course but one
54:08has to follow
54:08procedure in situations like this it's i just i just thought you didn't believe me sir you know after
54:21everything that happened before you made a promise to me that there were going to be no more mistakes
54:31and i tend to take people at their word you're a good sergeant i can see that so keep it
54:39up
55:02okay if i get a bullseye on this next row i'll book a ticket to antigua and i'll go and
55:09see soul
