00:00Hi, welcome.
00:33Ladies and gentlemen of the Tempest Company, this is your 15-minute call.
00:3615 minutes.
00:37Nate, sweetie, I just wanted to give you a little thank you, Prezi, for everything you've
00:41done for us.
00:44I can't believe it's our last show.
00:48I'm going to miss you so much, my lovely.
00:51Yeah, me too.
00:57Nate, hon, is everything all right?
01:02Spirits hear me.
01:04It's our needs must curse, but they'll know a pinch.
01:08No, it sounds brilliant.
01:10And it's the lead, is it?
01:11Oh, great.
01:12OK, yeah.
01:13No, I can get a tape out of it to you.
01:15When's the deadline?
01:17I'll find someone.
01:18OK, my darling, let's do lunch when I'm back, OK?
01:21And I'm paying this time, you cheeky monkey.
01:24All right, you can pay.
01:25OK, lots of love.
01:26Bye.
01:28Another self-tape.
01:29So annoying.
01:31I'll tell you what it was, but I've just got to sign an NDA, you know, so...
01:34That's cool, Mum.
01:36Pleased for you.
01:37Guys, guys, we've got a situation.
01:38Like, a bad one.
01:40Rich is a no-show.
01:41His phone's going straight to voicemail.
01:42I think we all know where Prospero's total laughter.
01:50I think we all know where Prospero's total laughter.
01:51No, no, never.
01:54No, no, never.
01:56That is.
01:57I guess our last night was always going to be a mad one.
02:00After the way this tour's gone.
02:04But we both made it to the end.
02:08No, no, never, no more will I pay.
02:16No, never, no more.
02:20Rich.
02:21Rich, come on.
02:24Rich, we've got to go.
02:26Skedaddle, youth.
02:27Rich, come on.
02:28There's an audience.
02:28They've paid to see us.
02:29To see you.
02:32Come on, you're not going to let them down, are you?
02:38All right, come on.
02:40Hey, hey.
02:45All right.
02:46All right, all right.
02:50All right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
02:52Oh, sweet Lord.
02:55Mr Dempster, you doing okay?
02:58Of course I am.
02:59Why wouldn't I be?
02:59Just a little dry around the mouth, that's all.
03:01Final call for Miranda.
03:02Act one, scene two.
03:03Final call, Miranda.
03:06Oh, no, no, no, no, no, that's a pop.
03:11Oh, much advice.
03:22Then to sea boys and go hang.
03:30This is a scurvy tune.
03:34Oh, but here's my comfort.
03:37Do not torment me.
03:39Oh.
03:39Whoa.
03:40What's the matter?
03:41Have we devils here?
03:43If all the wine in my bottle will recover him, I will help his ague.
03:53Ah, that's a brave god.
03:55And bear celestial liquor.
03:57Come, amen.
03:58I will pour some in thy other mouth.
04:06Stavano!
04:07Stavano!
04:07Lost thy other mouth caught me.
04:10Why, this is a devil and no monster.
04:12Stavano, I am Trinculo.
04:14Be not afeard.
04:16Thy good friend, Trinculo.
04:18Very Trinculo, indeed.
04:20I swear upon that bottle to be thy true subject.
04:24I'll show thee every fertile inch of the island.
04:30I see.
04:31I see.
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!
05:15I'll be right.
05:17No!
05:18Let's go.
05:49Is that how I am?
05:51Practicing my darts.
05:52Oh.
05:53Can't say you don't need it.
05:55Since I got myself a decent set of arrows, my form has improved.
06:00Get in!
06:02I'm presuming this isn't a social call.
06:04You got a case?
06:05A suspected poisoning occurred during a theatre performance.
06:09The victim collapsed on stage.
06:10What?
06:11You sure it wasn't an accident?
06:12According to paramedics, the symptoms suggest it's cyanide poisoning.
06:16Interesting.
06:17No!
06:18Are everything all right?
06:22I think I might have just nearly killed Harry.
06:25What are you doing, man?
06:27You can't play on here.
06:28It's not safe.
06:29Oh, God.
06:33Michael Farrar, 32 years old, suddenly collapsed halfway through the second act of the performance.
06:39The tempest, the poster said.
06:41Yeah.
06:42Last ten months they've been touring beaches all over the world with it.
06:45This was their final performance.
06:47Sergeant Fletcher's taken all the necessary statements.
06:50Caliban, I'll take it.
06:51One sec, let me check.
06:54Yes.
06:55Yes, it was.
06:56I mean, two pints for you, Inspector.
06:59How did you work that out?
07:00Well, he looks monster-y, you know.
07:03Not human.
07:05I assume the smell of almonds got the paramedics thinking it was cyanide.
07:08Which is fast-acting, so do we know what he consumed before he died?
07:12Well, apparently, he drank from this moments before it happened.
07:17It's a fiasco.
07:18I mean, I'm trying my best here, sir.
07:20I haven't been here for long.
07:21I just got here.
07:22No.
07:22This is a fiasco.
07:24Oh.
07:24It's a traditional Italian wine bottle.
07:26He'll have drank from this in Act 2, Scene 2, the famous drinking scene.
07:30Let me check for you again.
07:32Boom, shakalaka.
07:33Two more pints for you again, Inspector.
07:35It was indeed Act 2, Scene 2.
07:38Oh, the man knows it's Shakespeare.
07:40He does?
07:42Who knew?
07:42Cherry juice.
07:43That'll be for the red wine.
07:45So, chances are we're looking at our murder weapon.
07:48That's what you think, right?
07:50But it can't be, because two others drank from the same bottle during the performance.
07:55Stefano and Trinculo.
07:56That one I don't know, sir.
07:58But based on your previous form, two pints again.
08:01So what happened to the other two actors who drank from this?
08:03Not a thing.
08:04The paramedics checked them out, and they seemed fine.
08:08And they recorded the show, seeing as it was the last performance,
08:11so I will watch it back and check to see what happened.
08:15But if they did drink from the same bottle, then...
08:19He must have ingested the poison some other way.
08:26Let's see what the rest of the company have to say.
08:31These are the two that drank from the same bottle as the victim.
08:33Mm-hmm.
08:34Just Gorman and Anya Chimbers.
08:36She and the victim were in a relationship together, and she's taking it pretty badly.
08:42Who are the others?
08:43So this is Richard Dempster.
08:44He directed this production, and he also plays...
08:47Er, Prospero.
08:49There comes a moment, in every actor's life, a certain character's call to you.
08:56I had no choice.
08:58I had to submit.
09:00OK.
09:01And this is Nathan Burns.
09:02He's the company's stage manager.
09:04I swear, if there was poison in that bottle, it wasn't me that put it in there.
09:09Actually, Mr Burns, we're working on the basis that the poison was administered another way.
09:13Really?
09:13Oh, thank God.
09:14Yeah, the cyanide's fast-acting, so if it was in your system, we'd pretty much know by now.
09:20We'd like to know what else Mr Farr consumed in the 20 minutes or so before he died.
09:26Mikey never ate before a show.
09:28Not for two or three hours.
09:29Did he drink anything?
09:31I just sip water.
09:33What did he drink from?
09:34Er, one of those water flask thingies.
09:38Oh, there it is.
09:43OK, so take me through exactly what happened this afternoon.
09:48Anything out of the ordinary?
09:49We went up a bit late by about 15 minutes.
09:53How come?
09:55Um, just, um, technical hitch.
10:00And once the show had started?
10:02Well, um, Michael was on stage in scene one.
10:06He doubles as the bosun.
10:08Taking the top sail.
10:09Ten to the master's whistle!
10:13Then a very, very swift makeup costume change reappear as Caliban in act one scene two.
10:20Anya helps, um, well, helped with that.
10:24Then how did he seem, then?
10:27Fine.
10:28And what about before he went on stage and collapsed?
10:31A bit nervous.
10:33Pacing, biting his nails.
10:35He always was.
10:37Before that scene, there were a couple of tricky speeches in it.
10:39But he wasn't looking ill.
10:43Can any of you think why someone might want to do this to Mr. Farrah?
10:48No.
10:50Mikey was loved by the whole company.
10:52Very talented boy.
10:54He had the whole world at his feet.
11:07If we're working on the basis that the killer got the poison into Michael's system 15, 20 minutes prior to
11:14him dying on stage,
11:15and it must be one of the cast or a stage crew that...
11:19Sir?
11:21Why kill someone like that?
11:25In front of an audience, and on the very last show of the tour?
11:29I mean, after today, they could all go home, right?
11:32They'd never have to see each other again.
11:34So why did he have to die on that stage today?
11:40This is a public beach, right?
11:42Well, we're going to need some security to keep an eye on the crime scene.
11:46And get Sergeant Fletcher and Officer Rose to do a sweep of the place.
11:49On it.
11:58You all right, Mr. Dempster?
12:00Oh, oh, no.
12:01Ten months on tour will do this to you.
12:07Come on, Richard.
12:08It's time to go.
12:22Well, I recognise you from somewhere.
12:25Oh, yeah.
12:26It's a whole community police scheme thing we're doing.
12:30Sounds thrilling.
12:32I didn't catch your name in the frenzy of it all.
12:35Sergeant Matty Fletcher.
12:36Sergeant Matty Fletcher.
12:38Would you like to go for a drink with me while I'm on the island?
12:42No.
12:43That's inappropriate, Mr. Gorman.
12:46You know, with me being a police officer and you a possible suspect in a murder case.
12:51Right, yeah.
12:51Well, that makes sense.
12:53I hope that wasn't too embarrassing.
12:55Not for me, it wasn't.
12:56Good, good.
12:58I guess as an actor, I lost all sense of shame a while ago.
13:01Mm-hmm.
13:04Did he just ask you on a date?
13:05During a murder investigation.
13:07That's a red flag right there.
13:09Maybe he's the killer.
13:10Maybe he's trying to get close to the police to keep an eye on the investigation.
13:13Or maybe he's just a bozo.
13:15That's how I saw a possibility.
13:16Mm-hmm.
13:18Crazy, man.
13:19Oh, yeah.
13:31Take a bow, Mikey.
13:33Because it's all over now.
13:35I told you.
13:37It was always going to end this way.
13:50Oh, that's great, man.
13:51I'll get the beers, yeah?
13:53Yeah.
13:53And some snacks.
13:54Nice.
13:55What time should we say?
13:56Around seven-ish?
13:57Yeah, cool, man.
13:58All right, nice one.
13:59See you then.
14:01I just arranged a dance night with Daryl.
14:03Tonight, he's going to get his mates around.
14:06It's going to be a bit like being back home, you know?
14:08Lads standing around the dartboard, beers, banter.
14:11Oh, the only thing that's missing is a sticky pub carpet and some pork scratchings.
14:16Pork scratchings?
14:17Yeah.
14:18They are the quintessential English pub snack.
14:21It's fried pigskin.
14:23I'll get some sent over for you.
14:25Oh.
14:27No rush.
14:29Lab results?
14:30Ah, yes.
14:31And they confirmed the victim died from potassium cyanide poisoning.
14:36No surprise there?
14:37They checked Michael's own water bottle and found no traces of the poison in it whatsoever.
14:42Nothing in his water bowl.
14:45As for the fiasco, cherry juice, fairly high glucose levels, they noticed.
14:53But, most importantly, a lethal dose of potassium cyanide.
15:00That is surprising.
15:02Poison was in the bottle that our victim and the other two actors drank from on stage.
15:06Mm-hmm.
15:07So how can three people drink from the same poison bottle and only one of them die?
15:12It doesn't make any sense.
15:22Hello, yes.
15:24It's Sergeant, I'm going to let you...
15:25There's a left for your liquor.
15:27Ha-ha!
15:27Ah, come on then!
15:29I will pull something out of the mouth.
15:30Well, we can rule out the pretending to drink theory.
15:33I mean, these guys are drinking from the bottle for real.
15:35No question.
15:36So what if one of the other two actors slipped the poison in on stage just before Michael drank
15:41from it?
15:42Yeah, rewind it a bit.
15:45Okay, play.
15:47Could it be Jez?
15:49Now, the bottle is in view the whole time.
15:51And he's not adding anything to it.
15:53Oh, so Michael's not the last person to drink from that bottle.
15:56Seb's right.
15:57Anya drinks after Michael, so even if something had been added by Jez, Anya would have consumed
16:03it as well.
16:03Did he ever tell you anything about that?
16:05How?
16:07How do they all drink the same liquid with poison in it, but only Michael Farrah dies?
16:17Who's Sergeant Fletcher on the phone to?
16:19Oh, an actor's agent back in the UK.
16:22We misspoke with the rest of the cast this morning.
16:24A, um, Casey Briscoe, who plays Miranda.
16:28She said she saw Nathan Burns accosting the victim just moments before the show even started.
16:34I'm telling you, this is all going to come back on you, and sooner than you think...
16:37And there's rumours going around that there's history between them.
16:40So Casey, slash Miranda, said we should speak to this agent.
16:43Did you get anything from the search?
16:46Nothing interesting.
16:48I was suspicious.
16:50You know, he's been humming this little tune.
16:54I've never seen him do this before.
16:56Me neither.
16:59Inspector, what's this funky tune you've been humming?
17:02I don't know.
17:04It's been in my head since yesterday.
17:05I can't shake it.
17:06I can't place it.
17:10Wait a minute.
17:23Bingo!
17:25It was an advert.
17:27It was on the telly about five years ago.
17:28They kept playing it.
17:34See, that's what I was humming.
17:37And why is this relevant?
17:40Wait.
17:41As a plumber, I've seen my fair share of what's great and safe.
17:44That's why.
17:45And I know they can leave a pretty nasty pong.
17:48But now I found Whistbuster, I can leave my...
17:50That's Nathan Burns, the stage manager.
17:52Man, he's like a better actor than all of the others put together.
17:56Nathan Burns was an actor.
17:58And he has history with our victim.
18:01I just spoke to an agent in London who used to represent Nathan.
18:05She remembers him as being super ambitious.
18:08The Whistbuster ad wasn't the end of his rainbow then?
18:11The agent said about eight years ago, Nathan had a really important audition for the production of Macbeth at the
18:17National Theatre in London.
18:18And he didn't get it.
18:21But guess who did?
18:23Michael Farah.
18:24And more than that, Nathan went to the police at the time.
18:28He was adamant that he was spiked before the audition.
18:36By Michael?
18:37By Michael.
18:47So I get this big audition.
18:49And I go down to London and stay in a cheap hotel near the theatre.
18:53Michael's staying in the same place.
18:56Me and him get chatting in the bar the night before.
18:58What were you drinking?
18:59Just softs.
19:00But Michael insists on getting the last round.
19:03I go to bed at ten.
19:05Next thing, it's midday and I've missed the audition.
19:08You think he drugged you?
19:09He was taking out the competition.
19:11And you went to the police?
19:12They said there wasn't enough evidence.
19:14Whatever he'd given me was already out of my system.
19:17What happened after that?
19:19I never got another break like it.
19:21Did a bit of theatre and education, a couple of TV ads.
19:25Whistbuster?
19:27Yeah, Whistbuster.
19:31Then I quit.
19:32So you tour with this guy for ten months and it never comes up?
19:41Mr. Burns, just before the last show, you were seen arguing with Michael, saying it's all going to come back
19:48on you and sooner than you think, mate.
19:52You're referring to him sabotaging your audition?
19:56That's some revenge.
19:58Spiking his drink like he spiked yours.
20:00I didn't kill Michael because of what he did to me eight years ago.
20:03Still must have bothered you though, right?
20:04Otherwise, why bring it up?
20:05I just...
20:06I couldn't stop myself.
20:09I was never going to see him again.
20:16We'll be in touch.
20:24There is definitely something he's not telling us.
20:27You think?
20:40Rich.
20:42The police have been asking questions.
20:46I didn't tell them what he did to you.
20:49But if there's heat on me again, I don't think I can stay quiet any longer.
20:57To thine own self be true, eh?
21:03Oh, Delroy.
21:06Say it again, if you would.
21:07Okay, no problem.
21:16Sir, how come you know so much about Shakespeare?
21:19Seems unlikely.
21:21You know, with you being a day of the match, a match of the day kind of guy.
21:26No disrespect.
21:28When I was a kid, I used to hang around outside the stage doors of West End theatres, yeah?
21:34In case I saw someone famous.
21:35You ever meet Vin Diesel?
21:37No, I don't think Vin Diesel ever trod the boards of London.
21:42Anyway, I got to know some of the staff, and they would let me sneak in and watch whatever was
21:46on at the time.
21:47So, 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.
22:00You know, the failed auditions, the unemployment, doing rubbish jobs just to make ends meet.
22:05It was tough.
22:06Competitive.
22:07As our first suspect found out.
22:09Well, could it be that that pushed Michael to do what he did to Nathan?
22:13But it also shows there's a dark side to our victim.
22:16Spiking someone's drink just so he can get the role he wanted.
22:19That's ruthless.
22:20Well, whatever it was that led someone to poison Michael Farah, well, we still haven't got a Scooby how we
22:25pulled it off.
22:26I mean, the man died on stage, right? In the middle of a performance.
22:30Drinking from the same bottle as these two.
22:32But they didn't die. He did.
22:38Did I Wilson speak in?
22:41Yeah, I can talk now.
22:45Okay.
22:48Yeah, yeah, I understand.
22:51Have you spoken to my brother about this?
22:54He has.
22:56Right.
22:57Uh, okay.
22:59Um, well, um, thanks for letting me know.
23:06So is everything all right?
23:14I knew Mum would leave everything to Solomon.
23:18I just didn't think he'd put the house up for sale as soon as it was his.
23:24I thought we'd at least chat about it first.
23:28And what about your mother's things?
23:31According to the solicitor, he's arranged for a house clearance company to take everything and auction it all off.
23:38It all seems so rushed to me.
23:40Of course it's going to feel rushed.
23:42I would have liked at least a last look around the place.
23:47Maybe keep something of hers to remember her by.
23:56Then call your brother and tell him that's what you'd like to happen.
24:01He's got to understand, right?
24:16Hey.
24:18You.
24:19Yes.
24:21how can I help oh well actually I thought I could help you you know wind down after a hard
24:27day's
24:27policing the streets I've got some beers picnic blanket and yeah I thought we could find a quiet
24:35beach and get to know each other Mr Gorman yes did we not already have this conversation
24:43we did yes but I felt 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

24:56island for very long how often do you get to do this with someone like me let's just have some
25:01fun
25:03here 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
25:19what's the time now oh no you're spilling it you're spilling it oh what a shame I do have somewhere
25:25to be right now though do not bother me again unless it's related to the case Mr Gorman
25:36you understand that good you enjoyed 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 Anya 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 Anya was
26:17with
26:18Michael she was she left Jez for him during the tour they'd been on why did this not show up
26:25sooner
26:25because it wasn't officially registered yet they had a vow ceremony in the forest somewhere there was a
26:31whole midsummer night's dream theme going on yeah yeah you should have seen some of the photos they
26:36posted on social media that was some dress she wore respectfully of course so how did Jez feel about
26:42being replaced by Michael hmm well according to the other cast members really not so good seems to be
26:54the answer look I don't know who said that but it's nonsense so when Anya told you she was leaving
26:58you
26:59from Michael you weren't upset sorry why is she here is that normal procedure to bring a uniform sergeant
27:05along it is yep yes it is okay so it's nonsense is it that you were upset about Anya yes
27:14I mean Anya's
27:15the one who's losing out not me all our mutual friends are siding with me she's the one who's
27:19gonna have to move in with her parents when she gets back home not me I mean it hurts yeah
27:24of course
27:25it hurt really hurt but I didn't kill Michael because of it I wasn't looking for revenge
27:33ah this is my agent so I should probably to know you shouldn't okay she'll leave a voicemail this is
27:40a
27:40murder investigation mr. Gorman and your wife fell in love with a victim that's a very strong motive
27:46well that's what you're wrong actually they didn't fall in love maybe she did I don't know but it
27:53wasn't reciprocated what makes you say that because he told me so a few nights before our final
28:04performance we all had a bit of a sesh at the hotel bar some of us went for a dip
28:09in the sea Michael
28:11comes up to me and says he's gonna end it with Anya because he's got some off-broadway play and
28:17she's not
28:18what he needs right now and did he end it with her yeah five minutes before the beginning of our
28:26final
28:26show talk about timing thank you Anya's in room 352 that was Seb the security team at the crime scene
28:46say somebody tried to break into the dressing room area last night guess a description is that
28:51something that we could have missed right you and officer else get down to the crime scene let's go
28:56and talk to Anya yeah when's the deadline yes Seb yeah I'm sure I can get something to put me
29:03on tape
29:06Mikey and I had gone to collect rich from this bar he drinks in that was why we went up
29:12late
29:13so that was the technical pitch we literally had five minutes before the performance was about to
29:19start 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 i'm going alone
29:34you 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
29:45so 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
30:02mikey cared so much about his work but it terrified him
30:06he was just striving to be as good as he could
30:10and knowing it could all be torn down by a critic or the audience
30:14and that vulnerability 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 hour he was dead
30:32what what you think i did it because of who i remember how even
30:43you think i'd carry around around a bottle of cyanide with me just in case i get dumped
30:48and if you've forgotten i drank from the same bottle as him
30:53why would i do that if i knew there was poison in it
31:01you know my mom's church has this dirty thing going on
31:06and sometimes think about doing a bit hard to myself you know
31:10it's just the words sometimes i really struggled with words like um
31:22the winds did sing it to me and the thunder that deep and dreadful organ pipe
31:28pronounced the name of prosper it did base me trespass
31:32base me trespass i mean what does that even mean like
31:36base me trespass like a boombox type of base less of the base and more of the searching
31:41sergeant fletcher commissioner 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
32:10by who jess gourmand claims you tried to initiate a romantic relationship with him
32:16he said what and when he turned you down twice you pursued him as a suspect in the case
32:24that is just not true we interviewed him because there was evidence to suggest he had a motive
32:33and it was mr gourmand who asked me out twice i swear to you sir he is making this all
32:39up
32:40i mean i would never do something like that sir you believe me right look sir ask officer rose
32:49he was there the first time mr gourmand asked me out he will tell you very well
32:57leave it with me
33:06exactly what am i looking for yes though cannot find a thing
33:28sarge
33:28sarge i think i found something what is it
33:37it's a beach like a key with a few of them two minutes of the road
33:54whoa
33:59syringe
34:03well i'm assuming that's the cyanide
34:12it's in the throat bozenges you're right there mr dempster
34:23right mr dempster
34:26this lot has got your fingerprints all over no one else's you care to explain
34:34it's thanks to michael farrah that i fell off the wagon sorry for this tour i've been sober 20
34:40years what happened michael's offered this this off-broadway show it's gonna get him some
34:47good publicity in the states well at the same time we had the chance of
34:52extending our tour by three months to south america and you didn't want to lose your caliber no
34:56and i mean michael was contractually obliged to stay if further dates were added i'll refuse to
35:02release him well we know michael was very ambitious so i assume he wasn't happy about that
35:08it's our first day off in the caribbean trinidad we all spent the day by the pool
35:15cheers
35:18thank you i didn't realize till it was too late oh dear boy putting shots of vodka in my soft
35:25drink all
35:26day once i got the taste for it well double um double whiskey please 20 years without so much
35:34as a sip it all came crashing down nathan and dear anya they were first to realize i was back
35:41on
35:41the source took it in turns blessing bring me to bed did you tell them what michael did yes
35:48i don't think anya believed me but but nathan did nathan yeah there is definitely something he's not
35:55telling us he said that michael had done something not dissimilar to him once bite his drink so that's
36:04what nathan was holding back when he confronted michael before the final show it wasn't just about
36:10his experience eight years ago i'm telling you this is all going to come back on you and sooner than
36:15you think mate it was also about what he'd been doing to you the irony of it is that funding
36:21fell
36:22through in the end tour was never extended michael got exactly what he wanted no i had the sense he
36:28usually did which brings us back to this little collection i think he poisoned one of these lozenges
36:35gave it to michael backstage then added poison to that wine bottle on stage after he died
36:40to 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
37:01lsd the hallucinogen i objected one of the lozenges but not with cyanide i don't want to kill him
37:09i just wanted him to feel how he made me feel all powerless
37:17well i wanted everyone to see it
37:21i would cover 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 all your 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 re-watched the video and after michael collapses
38:09no one goes near the bottle he drank from and look jez garman puts down the bottle here
38:15and 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 he saw it as a kind
39:11of
39:13open marriage right and what happens on tour stays on tour and after three years of marriage
39:19anya 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 between
39:43us you know when we last saw each other they weren't great in fact if i'm honest i kind of
39:47think it's because of me that we're going our separate ways then maybe you should go visit him
39:52in antigua you think yeah just go talk to him i'm heading to the lab you want me to drop
40:00you off at
40:00the shack uh no um take me to the high street please i need to get a bucket and spade
40:07as in a as in a kitty's bucket and spade for for like the beach
40:12what other kind of bucket and spade is there sir 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 total
40:44bozo and the commissioner will definitely see that car he can see through the lies
40:51you're not too sure about it
40:56there's something that you don't know about me
41:01from before i uh i came back to saint marie in jamaica i i messed up on a case big
41:12time and
41:14and saw my file and the commissioner knows about it so
41:21no no i'm not sure he's gonna have my back on this 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 sarge officer rolls oh say yes thomas sarge somebody's giving the inspector some hair
42:22i never thought i'd see the day the man could have an afro whoever did this making a bold statement
42:38good morning inspector have you seen the poster someone's giving you a glow up yeah i've seen it
42:46that really brings out your cheekbones inspector kind of suits you oh and he's got his little kiddies
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
43:14well that's not possible why not they're sanding 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 you know 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 but officer rome's i need you to run another
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
49:22acid cream
49:22now i have to admit it didn't register with me at first the significance
49:27but when our lab tested the liquid in that poison bottle the cherry juice as for the fiasco they found
49:35the level of glucose in it higher 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
49:52it's gone
49:55dissolved
49:57and that's exactly what you did Anya
49:59with that wine bottle
50:00just before yourself, Jez and Michael
50:03went on that stage for Act 2, Scene 2
50:06you see
50:07as long as the lozenge was whole
50:09and hadn't dissolved
50:11Jez
50:12it was safe to drink from
50:15which you all did
50:18but by the time we arrived
50:20at the crime scene and sent the bottle
50:22to the lab to be tested
50:24the lozenge had already melted away
50:26releasing the poison
50:28making it seem like
50:30it had been there all along
50:34but why?
50:36why did you kill him?
50:39Anya
50:40when you and Michael got together
50:43you were still feeling
50:44hurt
50:45and embarrassed
50:47by your husband's
50:49ongoing infidelities
50:51him taking you for granted
50:54so for Michael
50:55the kindred spirit
50:57that you'd risked everything for
50:59to humiliate you even further
51:02by finishing with you
51:03only a few months after getting together
51:05well
51:06it more than hurt
51:08and that's when you realised
51:11that perhaps
51:13the rumours you've heard
51:15about Michael
51:16which you previously dismissed
51:18were actually true
51:20that Mr. Dempster's claim
51:22that Michael spiked him
51:24actually happened
51:27did you tell them what Michael did?
51:29yes
51:29I don't think Anya believed me
51:30but
51:31and that Nathan Burns'
51:32his own past run-in with Mr. Farrah
51:34was more than mere gossip
51:36there's been gossip amongst the cast
51:37that there's history between them
51:39so you decided to do something
51:41that was long overdue
51:43and on behalf of yourself
51:45and everyone else here
51:46whose life he'd ruined
51:48you would give Michael
51:50something he deserved
51:52to make him the one
51:53to finally suffer
51:56his own downfall
51:57his own humiliation
52:00right there on that stage
52:01for all the world to see
52:05and that Miss Chambers
52:07is why you killed him
52:17Anya Chambers
52:19I'm arresting you
52:20for the murder of Michael Farrah
52:22you do not have to say anything
52:24but it may harm your defence
52:26if you do not mention
52:28when questioned
52:30something which you later rely on
52:32in court
52:45you're not seeing enough of yourself already?
52:47it's never enough
52:50ah
52:50return of the bozo
52:52could we have a quick chat please?
52:59I just want to let you know
53:00that I officially dropped

53:16what your commissioner said
53:18wait the commissioner
53:19yeah he was the one who insisted
53:21I apologise
53:22and said he was going to charge me
