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.
04:12Thanks.
04:14Thanks.
04:15Thanks.
04:26Thanks.
04:31Thanks.
05:10Morning, sir.
05:12You good?
05:13No, I am not good.
05:16What's wrong?
05:17Turns out I am an uncle.
05:20Yes, mum.
05:21I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
05:23What's I came to visit Uncle Merv anyway?
05:26That's Eloise.
05:27The niece I didn't know I had.
05:28So you're her uncle Merv.
05:31No, I'm not.
05:33I mean, yes, I am her uncle, but not Merv.
05:35Never Merv, understood?
05:37Okay.
05:37Clearly 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.
05:52She's supposed to be staying with her Auntie Vondra.
05:55Well, she doesn't like it there, so she ran away and came here.
05:59They've got a case, I assume?
06:01Oh, my God.
06:02It's not a murder case, is it?
06:05Please let me come on a ride along Uncle Merv.
06:07Please.
06:08Right.
06:09So firstly, you're not coming on any ride along.
06:12And secondly, it's not Uncle Merv.
06:15It's Mervyn, remember?
06:18Hi.
06:19I'm Naomi, by the way.
06:21I work with your Uncle Merv.
06:25Right.
06:26Go pack your stuff, young lady.
06:27You've got a boat to catch.
06:29I am sending you back home to Antigua.
06:31Whatever you say, Uncle Merv.
06:33And it's not...
06:37I like her.
06:43Victim's name's Giles Parry, 58 years of age.
06:46Body was found floating six miles out at sea.
06:49Sergeant Fletcher's with the Coast Guard now.
06:51A couple of fishermen going out early this morning came across the body.
06:55But paramedics reckon he'd been in the water since last night.
06:59Thing is, this is already causing a stir around the heart.
07:03Why is that?
07:04Because of those marks on his body.
07:08They're all over his front and his back.
07:10And the bruising here.
07:12Some people are saying it was caused by the loska.
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, but...
07:34Do you?
07:35No, but it's still part of our history.
07:38Part of our culture.
07:40Right.
07:40Well, we can knock that theory on the head as a possible cause of death, all right?
07:44Except there's a little more to it than that, sir.
07:47That's why he's here.
08:12That's why he's here.
08:17Oh.
08:17Mr. Parry had sealed out to that swamp yesterday to pay his respects.
08:23Then he ended up dead himself.
08:26Mm-hmm.
08:28Was he stormy yesterday?
08:30Call the harbour master.
08:32It was come for the last 24 hours.
08:34Do we know what time he left the harbour?
08:36Just before seven o'clock, according to the GPS.
08:40Also, there's a boat mechanic who's been fixing Mr. Parry's engine.
08:43He saw him leave.
08:44He says there was definitely nobody else on the boat with him.
08:48It's arrived at a final destination.
08:50Half an hour later, radar shows no other boat near it at any point.
08:54So, what happened to him?
08:56How did he end up dead with all those weird markings on him?
09:00Unless, you know, it was the last guy.
09:05I hate to break it to you, Officer Rose, but sea monsters don't exist.
09:09No, yeah, I know.
09:12But it'd be cool if they did do all right.
09:15What's that?
09:24It's a bullet.
09:26Our victim wasn't shot, right?
09:29No.
09:30And there was no gun found on the boat?
09:32Not that I've found so far.
09:38So, what is that doing here?
09:48I don't know what happened on that boat,
09:51but the fact that we found this on it means it's suspicious.
09:55I think someone else was there, you know?
10:02I'm going to talk to Catherine.
10:04From what I know,
10:06James Parry was an isolated figure,
10:08but he did drink at her bar,
10:10and he would talk to her.
10:13I'm also going to contact the Guadalupe police
10:16and request the Benjamin Parry case files.
10:20So, the search back then wasn't led by the St. Marie team?
10:23As it was the Guadalupe Coast Guard
10:26who was first contacted when the empty boat was discovered,
10:29they stayed there clean.
10:33How about that rankled?
10:34I did push for us to have a role,
10:36but the senior investigating officer wasn't interested.
10:44There's some people on St. Marie
10:47who think I should have pressed harder,
10:50especially when they ran into a dead end earlier on.
10:55It's always been felt
10:56more could have been done
10:59than by me.
11:05Considering I am already
11:08persona non grata,
11:10I would like to do my bit
11:12to try and solve this case now
11:14and win back the community's trust.
11:18I've located the victim's ex-wife.
11:21She and her partner
11:22are staying at a hotel just outside Tom.
11:32We arrived here two days ago
11:34to mark the anniversary of Cara's son's passing.
11:38And I'm sorry to ask, Miss Smart,
11:41but your son Benjamin,
11:43why did he take the boat out on his own?
11:46Giles had always been into UFOs and aliens,
11:51that kind of thing.
11:52Our holidays were spent visiting Loch Ness
11:55or the Bermuda Triangle.
11:57The Luska here on St. Marie.
11:59Ben was getting even more fanatical than he stood.
12:02That's why he snuck out on his own
12:04and took the boat we'd hired out
12:07for a last-ditch sighting of the Luska.
12:10The weather turned bad.
12:12The sea was rough.
12:14He never came back.
12:19Right.
12:20Kept hoping they'd find him alive
12:23with a life jacket on,
12:24just floating somewhere.
12:25As time passed,
12:27you have to accept that he's not coming back.
12:31So you returned home to England?
12:34After 10 months,
12:36Giles and I were arguing nonstop by then.
12:39I just needed some space,
12:41some time to process it all.
12:44Whereas he...
12:48Giles was convinced the Luska took their son.
12:51he became obsessed.
12:53That's why he stayed on here when I left,
12:56to try and prove the Luska 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?
13:14How was Giles then?
13:16It was fine.
13:17You know, quiet.
13:19Giles was Giles.
13:21Still as delusional as he ever was.
13:24Did Giles ever own a gun at all?
13:26Not like we were together.
13:27And 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 Luska one time.
13:57Okay, Seth, come on.
13:59There's never the same afterwards.
14:02Keep our focus on the keys.
14:31Auntie Vondra.
14:32I mean, Vondra.
14:40Vondra, Vondra, it's all right.
14:42She's back at my place.
14:43She's safe.
14:43Thanks.
14:44Okay, look, 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,
14:55I borrowed your credit card this morning.
14:57Needed it to pay for the boat to get 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 a boat back home.
15:23All 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.
15:36OK, um, what exactly did your dad tell you about him being arrested?
15:41Just that he was set up and shouldn't be in jail.
15:45That it's a miscarriage.
15:48A miscarriage of justice.
15:51So, we need to help him, right?
15:57Why don't you go and get some plates and cutlery, yeah?
16:08So, you...
16:09Idiots.
16:29Solomon clearly hasn't told her about the scam he got caught up in.
16:32That he is good as shot someone.
16:35And held me hostage.
16:38He's dressed it up like he was the victim.
16:41And she obviously idolizes him.
16:44What are you going to do?
16:45I should just tell her the truth, right?
16:49Just...
16:50Tell her in a nice way.
16:52Not in a...
16:55Your kind of way.
16:57What is a my kind of way?
16:58You know, sometimes you can be a tiny bit insensitive.
17:04Insensitive?
17:06Me, insensitive?
17:08That is rubbish.
17:09I mean, if anything, it's everyone else who is too sensitive.
17:13Sure.
17:14That's totally what it says.
17:19Hey, Louise.
17:23Right, um...
17:24I'm off to work now.
17:26So, we can have dinner later.
17:28Yeah?
17:29And we'll, um...
17:31We'll talk.
17:33Okay, Uncle Mark.
17:37Old school.
17:38I like it.
17:44Right.
17:45Where we at with the case?
17:47Anything from the lab yet?
17:50Postmortems estimating time of death between 7.30 and 8pm.
17:53So, the victim leaves the harbour at 7pm, dies between 7.30 and 8pm, out at sea, just after
18:02he drops anchor.
18:04And, cause of death, was internal bleeding due to a ruptured spleen, which, in theory, could
18:11have been caused by something gripping him tightly, like, the tentacles of the Lusk.
18:18Or, more likely, something else.
18:23Same with the red markings, kinda like friction burns, but, there's nothing at the scene to
18:28suggest, what might have caused it.
18:31Well, what about the search at the victim's house?
18:33Er, Mati and Seb are just starting.
18:51Sarge, you have to see this.
18:54Ten-year-old Seb will be losing his mind right now.
18:58Like sea monster central in here.
19:04This is gonna be the best search ever.
19:06Alright, I'm so rose.
19:08You start on the computer, I'll hit the cabinets.
19:10Ah, cool.
19:18You alright, Sarge?
19:20Yeah, it's just my old boss from Jamaica, I'll call him once we're done with this.
19:24Alright.
19:35So, what do we know about our victim?
19:37Charles Parry worked as a paramedic back in the UK until he moved out here seven years
19:42ago, spent all his savings buying a boat and earned a small income giving talks about the
19:48legend of the Luska.
19:49What about these two?
19:50Any sniff of the motive yet?
19:51We're still waiting on Mr. Lyons' background and financial checks, but he and Cara have
19:57been together just over a year, met on a dating app.
20:00Now, as he only met the victim for the first time yesterday, I'm struggling to find a reason
20:05for him wanting Mr. Parry dead.
20:07But, she's a different story.
20:09Miss Smart previously worked as a teacher before giving that up to write a book a few years
20:14ago, a memoir about losing her son.
20:17I skim read it, and she's very honest about how hurt and angry she felt about Giles' behaviour.
20:25When I needed my husband's love the most, he disappeared down the rabbit hole of fantasy,
20:30casting me aside for his futile belief in a mythical beast.
20:35I mean, the guy had gone full-on looney tune, didn't he?
20:38What was that you said earlier about not being insensitive?
20:42Look, I'm not...
20:43Where it gets interesting, is the book's no longer bringing in any money.
20:48She's basically broke.
20:49I spoke to her literary agent in the UK, and apparently, a US TV production company has
20:55offered to make a documentary about her and Giles' son going missing.
20:59It's worth a quarter of a million dollars.
21:02Oh, I'm sensing a but.
21:05It going ahead was dependent on Mr. Parry agreeing to appear in the documentary too.
21:12Don't tell me.
21:13He didn't want to.
21:20So we spoke to the staff here.
21:22Well, that dinner you had with Giles, it wasn't as sedate as you said it was.
21:27According to them, you got quite worked up, Miss Smart.
21:30Angry that your ex-husband was refusing to agree to the documentary.
21:35Well, that's an exaggeration if ever I heard one.
21:37No, it's not.
21:38It's the truth.
21:39Giles, please, I need this.
21:40Why are you being so stubborn?
21:42Because I know what they'll do.
21:44Make me have to look like some mad conspiracy theorist.
21:46I hate you, Giles.
21:48So much.
21:51I didn't just lose a son seven years ago.
21:54I lost my husband as well.
21:56He never once thought of me that maybe he needed to be there for me.
22:02And even now, years later, I ask for his help because, yes, I need the money.
22:07I thought at least he owed me that one favour, but no, not even that.
22:13Thing is, Miss Smart, we checked with the production company and that documentary's officially got the go-ahead.
22:18So now with Giles dying in suspicious circumstances, and even the locals saying it was the Lusker that did it,
22:24well, it's an even more tantalising proposition than it was before.
22:26You get exactly what you wanted.
22:28No, you're wrong.
22:29I didn't kill Giles to get some documentary made.
22:33I'm not that desperate.
22:36I visitate this.
22:39So you want to tell me where you were two nights ago between 7.30 and 8?
22:43We were here at the hotel.
22:46We were together in our room.
22:49It wasn't me.
22:51It just wasn't.
22:54Sir.
23:00That was my tissues with the commissioner.
23:02They've got something.
23:12This is the closest I've come to actually seeing it.
23:14The Lusker.
23:16I'm still shaking from what happened.
23:19If there was proof she's out there, this is it.
23:22I've moored my boat a few miles out.
23:23The coordinates are 16 degrees, 32 minutes, 29.8 seconds north.
23:2961 degrees, 55 minutes, 0.1.8 seconds west.
23:32There's a sinkhole on the seabed there where I had previously identified as a possible home for the creature.
23:37Amazing.
23:38It was just getting dark.
23:40I heard it.
23:41I felt it.
23:42I thought as it hit the bow of the boat.
23:45And again, and then again.
23:46I could hear it dragging itself along as it tried to pull away.
23:49It was her.
23:50I know it was.
23:52The Lusker.
23:54I've got to go back again tonight.
23:57Totally amazing.
24:05Just to confirm, no one here actually thinks it was the Lusker that was underneath Giles Parry's boat.
24:11Well, I'm not ruling it out, Inspector.
24:13Apart from Officer Rose.
24:14No, of course we don't.
24:16But there is more to it.
24:19Giles Parry uploaded this vlog to his website two days before his death.
24:23We checked his GPS and he went back to the same exact location the next night, here.
24:31And this isn't the same location Giles' body was found?
24:35Where his son, Benjamin, went missing?
24:37No, that was two miles away, here.
24:39But the thing is, when Giles got back, he deleted this video straight away.
24:44So why?
24:45Catherine spoke to him shortly after.
24:48And he seemed troubled.
24:51Everything all right, Giles?
24:55He asked me about the Commissioner.
24:57Knew I was friends with him and said he might need to speak with him.
25:02Is it to do with Benjamin's disappearance?
25:06I don't know.
25:07Maybe.
25:16Hang on.
25:17These are the same colden that he talked about in his vlog.
25:19I don't know what happened there.
25:21But it's clearly of significance.
25:25We should go out there.
25:27Do a reenactment, yeah?
25:29Same time, same place, same boat.
25:31Find out what this X is all about.
25:33I was so hoping you was going to say that, Inspector.
25:36I can't believe you're going on a monster hunt.
25:39That's not what we're doing.
25:40That's not what you're doing.
25:49I don't understand.
25:51If you're going on a boat trip, why can't I come?
25:54Because it might be dangerous.
25:56Well, then I really want to come.
25:58Well, you can't.
25:59You're staying with Catherine tonight,
26:00and we're getting you home first thing in the morning, all right?
26:03But we need to talk about Dad still.
26:10OK, look, about your dad.
26:12I don't know what he told you, but it certainly wasn't factual.
26:16What he was arrested for, it's serious.
26:19And I should know, because I was there when it happened.
26:23What are you saying?
26:26Eloise.
26:29Listen, there was no miscarriage of justice, all right?
26:32He wasn't falsely accused.
26:34Your dad is guilty.
26:36So, no, I can't help you find new evidence.
26:40And he'll be in prison for a while.
26:43I'm sorry.
26:46So, what happens now?
26:48I just go back home in the morning?
26:51Yeah, of course.
26:53I mean, that's where your mum is, right?
26:55And you don't want to stay with me, do you?
26:58Of course I don't.
27:00I've got a life to get to move.
27:03So, what's your problem?
27:06This must be Eloise.
27:09It's nice to meet you.
27:11Hey, thanks for looking after me.
27:14See you all, Mervyn.
27:20So, my chef will cook you anything you need.
27:39Hey, inspector, ready for my car stop?
27:45You know, sir, this isn't exactly the safest boat I've been on.
27:49The two liferings there are missing their ropes, so let's hope no one goes overboard.
28:02Is that the Benjamin Perry case for him?
28:04Oh, I've just arrived from Guadeloupe.
28:07The commissioner's making us start going through it all.
28:31Can I speak to you for a minute about the private master commissioner?
28:42Of course.
28:43I got a couple of missed calls from my old bus in Jamaica today, and I haven't called him back.
28:50Because I think I know what it's to do with.
28:53He phoned me as well, actually.
28:57Tomod Dyer was acquitted on all costs.
29:01He's a free man.
29:03I'm sorry.
29:06Have you told any of the team?
29:10Uh, Seb knows I had a boyfriend that I broke up with before I came here,
29:16and I told him that I had messed up on a case.
29:21But not that the two were connected.
29:23That my ex is a criminal.
29:28I think I'd rather keep it that way for now.
29:32Nearing the destination now, Commissioner.
29:35Dropping the anchor soon.
29:36Thank you, Officer Rose.
29:38Aye, aye, Captain. Aye, aye.
29:48Must have been frustrating, not having oversight of that case.
30:00The Luska?
30:02It can't be.
30:03Whatever it is, it's the same song Giles Barry heard.
30:10You hear it, Alex?
30:12Yeah, we heard it.
30:13Can you see anything?
30:14No, it's not the Luska.
30:16Sure so, like it is.
30:17Can you see anything outside?
30:18No, nothing.
30:20Me neither.
30:21Anything now?
30:22Over here, there's something moving.
30:23Where?
30:24Yes, Thomas?
30:25There's something down there.
30:26I can see you moving.
30:28Sergeant Fletcher, what are you doing?
30:30That ain't no sea monster.
30:35Matty!
30:47Stupid woman!
30:49You cut my ass up right!
30:50That's Kelvin Mason.
30:52He runs a boat excursion business in the harbour.
30:55There's some sort of box under there.
30:57It looks like it's time to wait.
30:59Stop it moving!
31:14Inspector, here's the box we salvaged from the sea.
31:19Your gun.
31:20We found on your jet ski, Mr Mason.
31:26Your keys.
31:27Let's see if one of these fits, shall we?
31:33Your box.
31:45Cocaine, I'm guessing.
31:47Around two kilos.
31:48You'll be charged for this.
31:53Look, I'm just a middleman, all right?
31:56I don't sell it.
31:57I don't buy it.
31:59I just make some extra money moving it from A to B.
32:01Giles Parry was on to you, wasn't he?
32:04At first, he thought it was the Luska making those noises beneath his boat.
32:10I didn't know he'd moored above me.
32:13I couldn't stop myself from hitting it when I came back up.
32:16That's what he heard.
32:17Me banging against the bottom of his boat.
32:19And when he went to the same location a second time to try and cut sight of it...
32:24Sir, the Luska, I've got to go back again tonight.
32:27He discovered what you were up to.
32:29That's why he was talking about going to the police.
32:32Said he might need to speak with him.
32:34I didn't know he'd seen me.
32:36When I went back to the harbour...
32:39I know what you're up to, Kelvin.
32:41I pleaded with him not to say anything to the police.
32:45Got to know Giles quite a bit over the years.
32:48Helped him with his research a couple of times, so...
32:51I thought he might give me a chance.
32:53And?
32:54He told me he'd think about it.
32:58But didn't reckon he could ignore it.
33:01And next thing he's found floating six miles out at sea, dead.
33:04I didn't do that to him, I swear.
33:07This gun of yours, what calibre is it?
33:10It's a nine millimetre.
33:11Why?
33:12Because we found a nine millimetre bullet on Giles Perry's boat.
33:15Is that a coincidence, Mr Mason?
33:17Yes, it is.
33:18I wasn't anywhere near his boat when he died.
33:20Mr Mason, you were questioned seven years ago when Giles' son disappeared, as a witness.
33:28Everybody around the harbour was.
33:30Was that got to do with anything?
33:32So, that also is just a coincidence.
33:36Yes, it is.
33:38Look, if it wasn't you then, where were you at 7.30 the night Giles Perry was murdered?
33:43Um, I was taking a drink with a guy who works for me.
33:47Um, a fella named Jackson.
33:50You fancy another?
33:51Call him, ask him, he'll tell you.
33:53I swear.
33:58But, there's something else you all need to know.
34:01Something that happened before Giles took his boat out.
34:05Poor guy.
34:07I went to speak with him.
34:09To see if he changed his mind about talking with the police.
34:13When I turned the corner, he was arguing with someone.
34:18Giles called him Rory.
34:20I know your game, Rory.
34:22Giles said he had evidence of some kind.
34:25I didn't hear what.
34:27But he took out this folder and he gave it to him.
34:30Now that the Rory fella, he didn't seem too happy.
34:33Got a bit physical.
34:35He shoved Giles.
34:37Giles fell over and hurt himself.
34:40Then what did you do?
34:41I turned and left.
34:58Right, let's get over to the hotel.
35:00Let's interview our new suspect.
35:07Sir, with respect, shouldn't we just focus on solving the Giles Perry case right now?
35:13This isn't a cold case investigation.
35:15And we've got a new lead now.
35:17I just have this feeling the answer lies right here in front of me.
35:21If only I knew what it was.
35:23Okay.
35:28I admit we argued, Giles and I.
35:31It was more than an argument, Mr Lyons, from what we were told.
35:35Things might have got a bit physical, but what he was saying upset me.
35:39Which was what exactly?
35:41That I was only with Kara for her money.
35:46Rory only told me about this last night.
35:48Giles had to unscrabble together enough money to pay a private investigator to look into Rory and his ex.
35:57That's what he found.
36:01So your previous partner invested in your business, which went bankrupt.
36:09She's still chasing you for money?
36:11It was a total mess I made.
36:13Financially.
36:15And personally.
36:17Everything in that file, it's all true.
36:20Apart from the suggestion that I'm doing the same again with Kara, because I'm not.
36:24I think that's why Giles wouldn't agree to the documentary.
36:27He thought that Rory would take the money.
36:29But I don't want a penny.
36:31I just want to be with Kara.
36:34So why did you follow Mr Perry down to the harbour after dinner?
36:38Because he was being so unforgiving towards Kara.
36:40Saying that she was using their son's tragedy to line her own pockets.
36:44I wanted him to know the truth.
36:51We're adopting a baby.
36:53Starting a family.
36:55And it's taken all the courage in the world for her to do this.
36:58And you told him?
37:06All Kara wants is to be a family.
37:13I think it threw him.
37:15Then he picked up his things and got on his boat.
37:19And that's the last time you saw him?
37:23Mr Lyons?
37:24Rory?
37:27He phoned me.
37:29And I got back to the hotel about half an hour later.
37:33He was out at sea.
37:35What did he say?
37:38He asked if I loved Kara.
37:41Like he needed to get it confirmed.
37:44And you said?
37:49Yes, I do.
37:51So very much.
37:57Then he just hung up.
38:17So a few minutes before he dies,
38:19Giles Parry phones his ex-wife's new partner
38:22to ask if he loves her.
38:24That doesn't sound like he was being attacked by a sea monster
38:26or murdered.
38:28Nope.
38:29It sounds to me like a guy who'd
38:30finally made his peace with the world.
38:33Which kind of makes me wonder.
38:35You know.
38:37Did Giles Parry take his own life?
38:39But then try to make it look like it was the Lusker that did it
38:42to prove to everyone that he was right all along.
38:46That doesn't feel right.
38:48Anyway, that doesn't explain the bullet.
38:50Why was that there?
38:52So what happened?
38:53He was alone on that boat,
38:55six miles out at sea,
38:56and our three suspects were all on dry land when he died.
39:00How and why did he end up dead?
39:05Maybe these two have the answer.
39:09Just come straight from the lab.
39:11Please tell me it's good news.
39:13There are no striation marks on the bullet.
39:16So they can't match it to Kelvin Mason's gun.
39:19Same make, same calibre, but...
39:20Hang on.
39:21No striation marks at all.
39:23Said they've been worn away
39:24by incrustation of marine organisms.
39:29Corrosion patterns suggest
39:31that bullet has been on the seabed
39:32for six to eight years.
39:34Basically, they're just saying
39:35the bullet is some sea debris.
39:37But that doesn't explain
39:38how it ended up on the boat in the first place.
39:47Did Giles Pyro take his own life?
39:49The two liferings there
39:51are missing their ropes.
39:52Giles Pyro worked as a paramedic
39:54back in the UK
39:55until he moved out here
39:56seven years ago.
39:57Now that the Rory fella,
39:59he didn't seem too happy.
40:00Got a bit physical.
40:02Is it to do with
40:03Benjamin's disappearance?
40:05I don't know.
40:06He asked if I loved Kara.
40:09Bingo.
40:10I know what happened to Giles
40:12and how he ended up dead like that.
40:28Sir, we crack the case.
40:31Benjamin Parry's disappearance.
40:33I think I know what happened.
40:39Spont the difference.
40:41Oh.
41:01We have a lot to thank
41:02this little bullet for.
41:04It's helped us make sense of
41:06the present
41:07and the past.
41:08In the present,
41:09it's what solved the mystery
41:11of your ex-husband's death,
41:12Miss Smart.
41:13Leading me to
41:14finally understand
41:15why and how
41:16Giles Parry's body
41:17was found dead in the water,
41:19looking like the Lusker,
41:21the legendary sea monster
41:22he'd spent seven years
41:24searching for,
41:25had finally caught up with him.
41:26And in terms of the past?
41:29We'll come to that shortly.
41:31Through this case,
41:33we've worked on the basis
41:34that whatever happened
41:35to Mr. Parry,
41:36it all happened
41:37at the same time
41:39while he was out at sea.
41:41But we've now realized
41:43that his injuries
41:44were actually sustained
41:46in two separate locations.
41:48The first injury,
41:50the bruising to his stomach
41:51and the rupturing
41:52of his spleen,
41:53that happened on dry land,
41:56down by the harbor,
41:57when you and he
41:58tussled, Rory.
42:00You're saying it was me?
42:02You will be charged
42:03with involuntary manslaughter.
42:05We know you didn't mean
42:06to kill Giles.
42:08Far from it.
42:09However,
42:09his subsequent fall
42:11from your push
42:12caused a serious
42:14internal injury.
42:17He just didn't know
42:19it at the time.
42:20Oh, my God.
42:22Giles was totally unaware
42:24that his life
42:24was slipping away.
42:25That's why he
42:26walked away from you,
42:28got on his boat
42:28and went out to sea.
42:31He was probably already
42:33a few miles out
42:34when he started
42:35to feel ill.
42:37Initially,
42:37some discomfort
42:38in his abdomen,
42:40feeling faint,
42:42feverish.
42:43But it was only
42:44by the time
42:45he reached his destination,
42:46six miles from land,
42:48that he fully comprehended
42:50what was happening.
42:53We know Giles
42:54used to be a paramedic,
42:56so it's safe to assume
42:57he worked out
42:59what was wrong,
43:00that he had minutes
43:02left to live.
43:04I'm so sorry.
43:06And if his imminent death
43:07wasn't a grim enough prospect,
43:09Mr. Parry also realised
43:10that if his body
43:11was found on deck,
43:13we would start to question
43:14how he was fatally injured.
43:16And the post-mortem
43:17would more than likely
43:18lead back to the altercation
43:20he had with you,
43:21Mr. Lyons,
43:21and subsequently
43:22some time in prison.
43:24And knowing what you told him
43:26about yourself and Cara
43:27wanting to start a family,
43:29well,
43:30he didn't want to inflict
43:31any further suffering
43:32on you both.
43:33That's the way he phoned.
43:36And asked Rory
43:37if he loved me.
43:38That's why he needed to know,
43:40to be sure.
43:42Do you love her?
43:43He could protect you both
43:45by making it look like
43:47he killed himself.
43:52It was Dias Thomasy
43:54who noticed the ropes
43:55were missing from the life rings
43:56on Giles' boat.
43:57The two life rings there
43:59are missing their ropes,
44:00so let's hope
44:00no one comes overboard.
44:02I didn't think anything
44:03of it at first.
44:04But then when I started
44:05to understand
44:06what happened that day,
44:08that's when I realized
44:10why those ropes
44:11weren't there.
44:16And hopefully this call
44:17will confirm it.
44:20Yeah?
44:21They found the ropes
44:22tied to the boat's
44:23spare battery
44:24on the seabed.
44:24Okay.
44:26Thank you, Sergeant Fletcher.
44:29So,
44:31we think Giles knew
44:32that if he tied those ropes
44:34around his body
44:35tightly enough,
44:36then leave red markings.
44:38Friction burns.
44:39And therefore,
44:40when his body was found,
44:41he hoped this would also explain
44:43his internal injuries.
44:45The bruising.
44:46All so it would misdirect
44:48from you, Mr. Lyons.
44:51Any similarities to the Luska
44:53was a coincidence.
44:54If that's what happened,
44:56why was his body
44:57found floating on the surface?
44:59Because of this.
45:02As Giles sank
45:03to the seabed,
45:05by some quirk of fate,
45:07he saw this bullet.
45:09Maybe it got caught
45:11under a rock
45:12or wedged in some coral.
45:15We can't be sure.
45:17But there it was.
45:19A single bullet
45:20in the same spot
45:22his son went missing.
45:24And after his recent discovery
45:26of the smuggling
45:27that was going on out at sea,
45:29not far from the same spot,
45:31Giles was already beginning
45:32to suspect
45:33that his son's,
45:34your son's disappearance
45:35might have been
45:36for more sinister reasons.
45:37Is it to do with
45:39Benjamin's disappearance?
45:41Maybe.
45:42So we believe
45:43he loosened the rope,
45:46grabbed the bullet
45:47and allowed himself
45:48to float to the surface,
45:50determined to cling to life
45:53as long as possible.
45:55But by then,
45:56it was already too late
45:57for him to climb back
45:58on board his boat.
45:59So with his life
46:00ebbing away,
46:02Giles did one last thing.
46:03One final attempt
46:05to let everyone know
46:06what he discovered
46:06on the seabed.
46:10He threw this bullet
46:11onto the deck.
46:13A message from him to us
46:15to not give up on his son.
46:17But maybe
46:19Ben's killer
46:20was still out there.
46:22That's what you meant
46:23about the bullet
46:23helping with the past.
46:25My son's case.
46:28Ben has it?
46:37That bullet we found,
46:41it turns out
46:42it's been sat on the seabed
46:44for the last seven years
46:46in the exact same location
46:48Giles and Kara's son
46:50went missing.
46:52It was fired from your gun
46:54to kill Benjamin.
46:57Barry.
46:58But he drowned at sea.
47:00Why are you no saying
47:00he was shot?
47:08This photograph
47:09was taken the day
47:11before Benjamin
47:12went missing.
47:15It's of him
47:15and his father
47:16outside your office.
47:20And this
47:21was taken by one
47:22of the Guadalupe
47:23police officers
47:24the day after
47:26he disappeared.
47:28Your witness statement
47:29is unremarkable
47:31in every way
47:33apart from
47:35this photograph.
47:36I had to get
47:38the magnifying glass out
47:40to really notice.
47:42But in this photograph
47:44of Benjamin
47:45and his father
47:46the wall
47:47behind your desk
47:49is set
47:50farther back
47:51from the window
47:52than it is
47:53in this photograph
47:54of you
47:55where it appears
47:5740 or 50 centimeters
47:59closer to it.
48:01which left me wondering
48:03why
48:04less than
48:0548 hours later
48:08your office
48:09had seemingly
48:11shrunk.
48:12The only conclusion
48:14I could draw
48:15was because
48:15a new wall
48:17had been built.
48:18Leaving
48:19Benjamin's body
48:20at sea
48:21would have meant
48:22there was a possibility
48:23he could be formed.
48:25and
48:26if he was
48:27then it would be
48:29discovered
48:29that he'd been
48:31shot.
48:33Whereas
48:33if you hid
48:35his body
48:36and
48:36everybody assumed
48:38he drowned at sea
48:39then
48:40maybe you'd get
48:41away with it.
48:45But where
48:46to hide it?
48:48We have a team
48:50at your office
48:51as we speak
48:52about to
48:53tear down
48:55that wall.
48:56So
48:57if
48:58I'm wrong
48:58about what's been
48:59hidden behind it
49:01the last seven years
49:02you have nothing
49:03to worry about.
49:05But
49:05if I am right
49:08now is your chance
49:10to start talking.
49:24That morning
49:26seven years ago
49:30it was real early
49:33but when I got back up
49:35with the day's delivery
49:38he was there
49:39recording me
49:39on his phone
49:42for evidence.
49:44I mean
49:45stupid idiot
49:46why would you do that?
49:48Because you left me
49:49no choice.
49:51I had to act fast
49:53so I got the lockbox.
49:56With which you moved
49:57to a new location
49:58two miles away
49:59where your
50:01smuggling
50:02continued
50:03until Giles Perry
50:05discovered what you
50:06were doing
50:07all these years
50:08and Benjamin Perry's
50:10bodies.
50:15I took it ashore.
50:20I put him
50:21in one of the cases
50:23we stole the diving gear.
50:25It's airtight so
50:28I spent the whole day
50:30getting everything
50:31I needed
50:32for that wall.
50:34I spent the whole night
50:35building it
50:37and I have lived
50:39with it
50:39every day since.
50:42Why now you go?
50:43And y'all let me know
50:44how it went, huh?
50:46You're with real
50:46pirate royalty now, huh?
50:49Knowing that poor boy
50:50is stuck behind that wall
50:52will haunt me forever.
51:00Galvin Mason
51:02I'm arresting you
51:03for the murder
51:04of Benjamin Perry.
51:05You do not have
51:06to say anything
51:07but it may harm
51:08your defense
51:08if you do not mention
51:09my question.
51:11Something which you will feel.
51:19This call
51:20is from a person
51:21currently in prison
51:22in Antigua.
51:26Solomon.
51:27Mervyn.
51:28I know you said
51:28you didn't want
51:29anything to do
51:29with me no more
51:30but this isn't about me.
51:31It's about Eloise.
51:33I know she ran away
51:34from her aunt
51:35and came to you
51:35because she doesn't
51:36like it there.
51:37No, it's because
51:38you told her
51:38you were innocent
51:39and I'd get you out.
51:40You lied to her.
51:41Maybe I was a bit
51:42free and easy
51:42with the truth
51:43but she's there
51:45because she needs you.
51:46She doesn't even know me.
51:48She does a bit.
51:49I told her some things
51:51that you were
51:53a good man.
51:56Solomon,
51:57I can't...
51:58You are a man.
52:00I know I'm not.
52:01I have made a mess
52:03of pretty much
52:03everything in my life
52:04but that's why
52:05I'm asking you
52:05this one thing.
52:07This one favor.
52:09Her mom and aunt
52:10are cool
52:11but she's a dad's girl,
52:13you know?
52:14Me and her
52:16is something special
52:19and her stupid father
52:20has got himself
52:20stuck in prison,
52:21so what?
52:23She really needs
52:24her uncle in her life
52:25right now
52:26because you're
52:27the closest thing
52:28she's got to me.
52:38So, that's the queen.
52:40She's the one
52:41to keep her eye on.
52:42All you have to do
52:43is find the lady.
52:54This one.
52:56Cool.
53:03Wrong again
53:04was
53:05here
53:06all along.
53:22I've had people
53:23arrested in Covent Garden
53:24for that, you know?
53:25Your dad taught you
53:26what I assume.
53:31Look, I'm...
53:33I'm not good
53:33at this kind of thing,
53:35okay?
53:36Maybe because
53:36I've never been
53:37an uncle before.
53:42What I'm trying
53:43to tell you...
53:43You don't know
53:44what you're doing.
53:47When you haven't had
53:48a proper family
53:49in your life,
53:51like I haven't,
53:53you kind of grow up
53:54assuming people
53:55don't want you
53:56or need you.
53:59But when you came
54:00to me,
54:00I should have been
54:01there for you
54:01and I'm sorry
54:02that I wasn't.
54:05But if you're
54:05up for
54:07giving your uncle
54:08Merv a second chance
54:09then
54:10maybe we can try
54:11again
54:12and I can get
54:13to know my niece
54:14properly
54:15because however
54:16it might have looked
54:19I would really,
54:20really like that.
54:23You want to shake
54:24on it?
54:25We can do
54:26better than that.
54:29After all this time
54:31I've given up
54:31any hope
54:32for my son's body
54:33being returned to me.
54:35So to stand here
54:36knowing my boy
54:38will be returned
54:39home to England
54:41it means the world
54:42to me.
54:43So I'd like to thank
54:45the St. Marie
54:46Police Force
54:47for all their
54:48hard work
54:49in achieving this.
54:50It's a divert
54:51from the station.
54:56Yeah.
54:59But I'd especially
55:00like to thank
55:02Commissioner Selwyn
55:03Patterson
55:04for uncovering
55:05a truth
55:06that no one
55:07else was able
55:07to.
55:08I will be
55:09forever grateful.
55:17What's going on?
55:18It's for you.
55:20You're the man.
55:31So I got diverged.
55:33It's for you.
55:34Some guy named
55:35Damon
55:37said to give him a car
55:38when he got that charm.
55:59Gonna go eat,
56:00Inspector.
56:01Sarge,
56:01Inspector's niece.
56:03Catherine invited us all.
56:05It feels like
56:06there's a lot
56:06to celebrate.
56:07And you can build up
56:08a hunger
56:08when you're hunting
56:09sea monsters,
56:10you know?
56:11Sea monsters?
56:12You didn't tell me
56:13we're hunting
56:13sea monsters.
56:14That's because we
56:15weren't.
56:16Well,
56:16not all of us anyway.
56:18All right,
56:18Eloise,
56:19this is Commissioner
56:20Patterson,
56:20my boss.
56:21It's a pleasure
56:22to meet you.
56:24You too.
56:25Right,
56:25let's go.
56:26Come on.
56:26You like playing
56:27card games,
56:28Commissioner Patterson?
56:29All right,
56:29let's not start
56:30going down that road,
56:31young lady.
56:32If the man speak
56:33for himself.
56:34As it happens,
56:35I do like playing cards.
56:36Yeah,
56:37but not the kind
56:37of card she wants
56:38to play.
56:39Honestly,
56:39Commissioner,
56:39in fact,
56:39everyone,
56:40do not play cards
56:41with this girl.
56:42Uncle Murph!
56:51Was she just
56:52trying to hustle
56:53the Commissioner?
56:55Yeah.
56:56Welcome
56:57to my family.
57:20Death in Paradise
57:21will return.
