00:00:00Currently delays at Junction 15 of the M4 due to ongoing improvement marks.
00:00:04That's your latest travel update from us here at the station.
00:00:07It's the 1st of December, so Christmas has officially started.
00:00:11And this is a classic.
00:00:14Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock.
00:00:18Jingle bell swing and jingle bells ring.
00:00:22Snow and snow and snow and snow.
00:00:24Marjorie?
00:00:25Oh!
00:00:27Morning, Helen.
00:00:28Christmas begins.
00:00:30Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock.
00:00:33Jingle bell time and jingle bell time.
00:00:37Dancing and prancing in jingle bell square.
00:00:41In the frosty air.
00:00:44Oh!
00:00:45Well, I'll get you with a nice cup of tea after that.
00:00:50I've never seen the town centre so busy.
00:00:56Oh, I'm sorry, Helen. I didn't know there was a team meeting.
00:00:59Oh, you're fine, Marjorie.
00:01:00I was just making a small announcement.
00:01:02You'll never believe it.
00:01:03She's only taking us away for the office Christmas party.
00:01:06It's been a tough old year.
00:01:08And I just want to say thank you to everyone for helping me get through it.
00:01:12Guess what?
00:01:13We're only going to the ruddy Caribbean.
00:01:15Oh, my goodness gracious me.
00:01:17Oh, although it does mean missing the away game of Colchester.
00:01:21What's that matter?
00:01:22It's the Caribbean.
00:01:24What a way to celebrate our...
00:01:25And you've properly budgeted for it, Mum?
00:01:27Yes, Neil. It's all accounted for.
00:01:29Quite sure?
00:01:31Oh, you know, I've always wanted to visit that part of the world.
00:01:37Oh, um...
00:01:39Not you, Marjorie, love. It's senior staff only.
00:01:42I am so sorry. I should have said.
00:01:44Oh, of course.
00:01:46I'm sorry, Helen.
00:01:47Silly old me.
00:01:49Duh.
00:01:53Oh, I... I probably should get that.
00:01:57We are so going bikini shopping after work.
00:02:02Oh, you might treat yourself to some speed, or was...
00:02:04Dougdale's branded merchandise. Marjorie speaking.
00:02:13Dougdale's branded merchandise. Marjorie speaking.
00:02:16Yes, I'll just put you through to her warehouse.
00:02:19Yeah, I'll just put borrowers.
00:02:23Show the ancient Judea tariff,
00:02:26da-da-da-da-da, la-da-da.
00:02:28See the blazing關 before us,
00:02:31da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
00:02:33Strike the harp and join the chorus,
00:02:36da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
00:02:36Come on!
00:02:38Yes!
00:02:39So warm.
00:02:40You help me!
00:02:44новую time treasured,
00:02:46da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
00:02:47Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:03:17Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:03:41Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:03:45Hi, Marjorie.
00:03:46I just want to let you know that there's a Commissioner Patterson arriving.
00:03:52It's a serious situation over here.
00:03:55Give him access to anything he needs.
00:03:58I've told the police here that we're going to cooperate fully.
00:04:01Will do, Helen.
00:04:02Oh, I hear him now.
00:04:03We'll speak later.
00:04:04Okay.
00:04:06Ah!
00:04:08You must be the policeman from the Caribbean.
00:04:10Commissioner Patterson, is it?
00:04:12Selwyn Patterson.
00:04:15So, um, what has actually happened out there?
00:04:18The police will call to your colleague's Holiday Villa,
00:04:22where, I'm sorry to say, a man was found, shot dead, murdered.
00:04:35We love you, buddy.
00:04:37Oh, boy.
00:04:41We love you, buddy.
00:04:42Yes!
00:04:42Oh!
00:04:49Oh!
00:04:53Oh!
00:04:54Oh!
00:04:55Oh!
00:04:56Oh!
00:04:57Oh!
00:04:58Oh!
00:05:12Morning, Miss Baudet.
00:05:14Morning, Seb.
00:05:15It's a final rehearsal for the Nativity this evening.
00:05:18I wish you all the best, and good luck to you, little king people.
00:05:22Yes, yes.
00:05:25Allez, let's go.
00:05:35Good morning, Sarge.
00:05:37Morning, Seb.
00:05:38Got a card from Darlene.
00:05:40Looks like she won't make it back for Christmas.
00:05:43Her auntie's still six, so she's staying on Montserrat.
00:05:46Nothing in the post for the inspector, you know, from Antica.
00:05:51His brother, you mean?
00:05:53It's been three months.
00:05:55I guess it's like a lot, you know?
00:05:57I mean, getting a letter from a bread he never knew you had.
00:06:02Might take some time.
00:06:03I just feel sorry for him.
00:06:05He keeps saying he's fine about it, but I don't think he is.
00:06:11Where is D.I. Wilson?
00:06:13Rehearsing.
00:06:13Oh, yes.
00:06:15Oh, I am so jealous.
00:06:16He must be hyped up to wear that costume, huh?
00:06:19I bet he is.
00:06:22I'm really not happy about this.
00:06:24Why not, Mervin?
00:06:25Because I look like a ninny.
00:06:27No, you don't.
00:06:29You look very...
00:06:32authentic.
00:06:33I just don't think the boots are helping.
00:06:39Look, with all due respect, Miss Baudet, I just think it'd be better off finding somebody else for this.
00:06:45You know, somebody less me.
00:06:47Mervin, it has always been the commissioner, carries out this task for me.
00:06:52With him gone.
00:06:54Inspector.
00:06:56Great.
00:06:56Yes, sir.
00:06:57You look cool, man.
00:06:59Not another word.
00:07:00Yes, I'm good.
00:07:02Could we have a chat, sir?
00:07:09We have a murder to attend.
00:07:12For real?
00:07:15Well, that's up, then.
00:07:16I've got word to do.
00:07:18Conversation over.
00:07:19Conversation paused.
00:07:20Sorry, Catherine.
00:07:21Come on, let's go.
00:07:23Inspector.
00:07:24Um, inspector.
00:07:27You think maybe you should change first?
00:07:56Victim's name is Darion St. Jules.
00:07:58He's a local fisherman, lives half a mile up the coast.
00:08:02Right.
00:08:03The guests staying here are from the UK.
00:08:05They all say they haven't a clue who he is or what he was doing here.
00:08:10But clearly, someone must have shot him and left him there.
00:08:13Right.
00:08:15No sign of the gun, but paramedic sourcing with the bullet still lodged in the victim's shoulder.
00:08:21Cause of death was possibly from internal bleeding.
00:08:25Right.
00:08:26And what about you, inspector?
00:08:28Anything of interest?
00:08:30Well, he certainly liked his aftershave.
00:08:33Have a sniff.
00:08:39I guess that's pretty strong.
00:08:41What if it's cause of his work?
00:08:43You know, slapped on the old cologne to cover the smell of fish.
00:08:47I know a big man in Tootin did the same thing.
00:08:49And that's what bothers you the most.
00:08:51The fact that the victim used a bit too much aftershave.
00:08:56Actually, what's bothering me the most is what's written on the palm of his left hand.
00:09:02Blitzen.
00:09:03Like the reindeer.
00:09:05It's the only one I can think of.
00:09:08Dasher, dancer, prancer, vixen, comet, cupid, donna, Blitzen.
00:09:13And Rudolf.
00:09:15Thank you, officer Rose.
00:09:19The ink seems fresh.
00:09:21Which means you wrote it in the last 12 hours or so.
00:09:24And then not long after, he was shot.
00:09:27When it is Christmas, sir.
00:09:29Could just be a coincidence.
00:09:36We have no idea who this guy is or what he's doing in our villa.
00:09:40So how can we know why he wrote the name of one of Santa's reindeer on his hand?
00:09:42I don't know.
00:09:44I'm just asking the question.
00:09:45Not a problem, is it?
00:09:47No.
00:09:49No, of course not.
00:09:51Let's start with you telling me what you're doing here on St. Marie.
00:09:54Well, we flew here for our office Christmas party.
00:09:56It wasn't cheap.
00:09:58We were having the time of our lives.
00:10:05Life's a beat.
00:10:06Life's a beat.
00:10:08No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:10:10No!
00:10:10Oh, my God.
00:10:12Oh, my God.
00:10:13Everyone get in.
00:10:19Maybe talk us through the events of last night.
00:10:22Yeah, what happened exactly?
00:10:23We said we'd take it easy for our last night.
00:10:37Then we got back here and carried on drinking.
00:10:40Yeah, looks like quite a party, you had.
00:10:42Yeah, done right it was.
00:10:45Sorry, that's not appropriate.
00:10:47The rum out here, um, it's stronger than we used to.
00:10:53Oh!
00:10:54What happened to Bob?
00:10:55One more straight away and no one is allowed to.
00:10:57Come on, it's our last night!
00:11:01And what time did the party end?
00:11:03I haven't got a clue, mate, to be honest.
00:11:05Yeah, it's all a little bit hazy.
00:11:07I really don't remember very much.
00:11:09You lot are lightweight, man.
00:11:11I remember everything.
00:11:15Helen, you and me put Neil to bed about midnight.
00:11:18I'm sure I wasn't that bad.
00:11:19Oh, you so were.
00:11:22Oh, he's always had a low tolerance.
00:11:24Mum?
00:11:25Sorry, love.
00:11:27Can we just...
00:11:29Yeah, Helen, you went to bed as well.
00:11:32Me and you kept on it till about half three.
00:11:38Yeah, but you were so cute.
00:11:39You were dead to the world by then.
00:11:41So, uh, I left you asleep in the hammock.
00:11:45And then what?
00:11:49Oh, and then, um, the taxi for the airport woke me up.
00:11:54Everyone!
00:11:55Wake up!
00:11:57Wake up!
00:11:59That's when I saw him.
00:12:01I thought he was asleep at first.
00:12:03But when I got closer, I saw the blood.
00:12:05Someone call an ambulance!
00:12:07Now!
00:12:10You were in the hammock when whatever happened, happened.
00:12:13You didn't hear the gunshot?
00:12:14Well, yeah, yeah, you'd have thought.
00:12:16But, well, it's like Helen said, you know, the room out here, it's, uh...
00:12:19Stronger than you used to.
00:12:21Inspector!
00:12:24That's something you should see.
00:12:28This is the only security camera footage from the villa.
00:12:31Footage is from this morning, outside the front door.
00:12:34The victim arrives at 5.32am, heads inside.
00:12:38The door was unlocked, so he let himself in.
00:12:40After that, nobody is seen leaving or arriving.
00:12:43So, the only way in or out is from the front.
00:12:46And the drop at the back is too steep for access.
00:12:50So, it's got to be one of these four who shot Darren in St. Jules.
00:12:53Which means the gun that they used must still be here.
00:12:56But they're all saying they've never met him before.
00:12:59So, why would one of them kill a total stranger?
00:13:16Hello, can I help you?
00:13:18Have you come to check-in?
00:13:19The name's Helen Dugdale.
00:13:21Of course, one moment, please.
00:13:24I can't believe they're not letting us fly home.
00:13:27It's police overreach, is what it is.
00:13:30So much for doing something different.
00:13:33Should have just gone to the Red Lion like last year.
00:13:36None of this would have happened.
00:13:39Girl, do you think there's something Helen's not telling us?
00:13:44She's been on edge ever since the police arrived.
00:13:55So, why did Darren go to that villa at 5.30 in the morning?
00:13:58Hmm.
00:13:59Let's see what we found at his house.
00:14:06How are you getting on, sir?
00:14:08Well, I haven't found anything that connects our victim to the suspects.
00:14:12But I have found this.
00:14:13The victim's aftershave.
00:14:15Really?
00:14:16This again?
00:14:16It's different to the one he was wearing at the crime scene.
00:14:19Here, have a sniff.
00:14:23I haven't found any others here.
00:14:25And there certainly wasn't one on his person.
00:14:27So, why did he smell different to the brand of aftershave that he owns?
00:14:46So, I searched the suspects, the villa and surrounding areas, and there was no gun.
00:14:53No, it has to be there.
00:14:54No one left the villa after the victim was shot, so the weapon has to be there somewhere.
00:14:58Yeah, no, I totally get the logic, Inspector.
00:15:00But, you take it there?
00:15:02For definite, there's no gun at the villa.
00:15:03But that doesn't make any sense.
00:15:05So, sorry.
00:15:06Excuse me.
00:15:07Hello?
00:15:08Yes!
00:15:37Well, this is a strange one.
00:15:38There's no gun at some school nativity.
00:15:40Then you'd better find the time, Inspector.
00:15:45Why is she...
00:15:46Good evening to you, Inspector.
00:15:49Officer Curtis.
00:15:50It was a pleasant surprise.
00:15:51My niece is performing in the nativity tonight, and word has got back to me that they might
00:15:58not have a narrator, because the man who is supposed to be doing it is being a grumpy
00:16:04goose about the whole thing.
00:16:05A grumpy...
00:16:05Now, listen...
00:16:07No, you listen to me.
00:16:08You are doing it.
00:16:10End of.
00:16:11So, get your backside down to that church and man up.
00:16:30You know what?
00:16:30I never did like this sort of thing.
00:16:32Yes, I...
00:16:32The nativity, the carol services.
00:16:36Right.
00:16:37Is there anything about Christmas you do like, sir?
00:16:40No, not really.
00:16:41Oh, hang on.
00:16:42Yeah.
00:16:42The Great Escape.
00:16:44The what?
00:16:45The Great Escape.
00:16:47The movie.
00:16:47It was on telly every Christmas.
00:16:50You know, with the motorcycle stuff, and the cooler, the dirt down the trousers.
00:16:57No, I'd give up.
00:16:58Me too.
00:16:59No, then we're waiting.
00:17:00Ready when you are.
00:17:03Right.
00:17:07Right.
00:17:08Um, here we go then.
00:17:11I guess.
00:17:31You okay?
00:17:36Okay, then.
00:17:41A long time ago, in the town of Nazareth, there lived a young woman named Mary.
00:17:47She was engaged to a carpenter named Joseph.
00:17:51I understand he didn't want to wear a costume, but did he really have to do it in the heart?
00:17:57And then one day, an angel called Gabriel came to Mary and said to her...
00:18:16Sorry, it was mine.
00:18:18I knew it was going to be his.
00:18:25Sir.
00:18:27Sir.
00:18:29It's someone calling from Antica.
00:18:33It could be...
00:18:34Your brother.
00:18:37Listen, sorry, everyone.
00:18:38I need to take this, yeah?
00:18:46Why'd I think one of us shoot her?
00:18:49Don't worry, Miss Baudet.
00:18:51Officer Sebastian rose to the rescue.
00:18:54Yes, my little king people.
00:18:56Wow, God.
00:18:58Woo!
00:19:00So, a long, long time ago, in the town of Nazareth,
00:19:06there lived a young woman, very nice woman.
00:19:08Her name was Mary.
00:19:09She was engaged to a carpenter named Joseph.
00:19:20Melvin Wilson speaking.
00:19:22Mr Wilson?
00:19:23It's Tyrese at Kariba Phone Network.
00:19:26I just noticed your contracts coming up in the new year,
00:19:28and I thought we could have a chat about upgrading your phone.
00:19:35Mr Wilson, are you still there?
00:19:36Yeah, I'm here.
00:19:37Um, no, no upgrade, thanks.
00:19:41Are you sure about that, Cosme?
00:19:43Because, um, it's tough.
00:19:44Yeah, I'm here.
00:20:14He builds us daily, he builds us daily, deep, deep, deep.
00:20:51Hey sir, you didn't come back. Just wanted to check how you're doing.
00:20:58Yeah, it wasn't Solomon on the phone. Anyway, I've been thinking.
00:21:03We really don't know anything about these people. You know, their lives in the UK.
00:21:10I was thinking we could use someone to do a bit of digging into our suspects back in their hometown.
00:21:14Right. You want me to get in touch with the Swindon police?
00:21:17No, no, no. I've already done that. They're flat out till New Year.
00:21:20But then I remembered we do have someone in the UK who maybe could give us a hand.
00:21:33You must be the policeman from the Caribbean. Commissioner Patterson, is it?
00:21:37Selwyn Patterson. I'm no longer a commissioner. I'm retired now.
00:21:43Right. Okay. So now you're just...
00:21:46Helping out. Somewhat reluctantly, if I'm honest with you.
00:21:51So, um, what has actually happened out there?
00:21:54The police were called to your colleague's Holiday Villa, where, I'm sorry to see, a man was found. Shot dead.
00:22:02Murdered.
00:22:04I'm keen to get on with things and get out of here as quickly as I can.
00:22:09Rightio. Well, I'll give you the guided tour.
00:22:11Uh, welcome to Dugdale's branded merchandise.
00:22:16Uh, so, uh, that desk over there is Helen. She's the managing director.
00:22:22Uh, this desk belongs to our graphic designer, Gavin.
00:22:26Uh, accounts manager, Neil. And Karen, head of sales.
00:22:30And this one?
00:22:32Oh, oh, she's not here anymore. She left a couple of months ago.
00:22:36Who?
00:22:37Uh, Ashley. Ashley Sims, her name was.
00:22:40It was all somewhat clandestine, if you ask me, Mr Patterson.
00:22:48She did what they call a midnight flit. Never came back.
00:22:53Are you sure you don't want a cup of tea? I'm gonna make myself one.
00:22:57This drawer is locked.
00:23:00Oh, yes. It's been like that since Ashley left. She has the only key.
00:23:04I've been meaning to sort it.
00:23:20PHONE RINGS
00:23:26Commissioner.
00:23:27You do know what time it is over here, right?
00:23:29Half past three in the morning.
00:23:32But as I've abandoned a good friend's wedding to travel to Swindon.
00:23:35And help you out.
00:23:36OK, fair do's.
00:23:38How can I help?
00:23:38The bullet you recovered from your victim.
00:23:41Have you had the ballistics report back on it yet?
00:23:43Yeah, it was a .45 calibre.
00:23:45Most likely fired from a pistol.
00:23:47And did you find the weapon?
00:23:49No.
00:23:50Why?
00:23:51Because I'm currently looking at a .45 calibre pistol in a desk drawer in Swindon.
00:24:01Well, it can't be the same one.
00:24:04Can it?
00:24:21Good morning, sir.
00:24:23Morning, Inspector.
00:24:24This can't be right.
00:24:26It just can't be.
00:24:27What's going on?
00:24:28Commissioner found a gun locked in the desk drawer of an ex-employee called Ashley Sims in the Dugdale's offices
00:24:34back in the UK.
00:24:35What?
00:24:36Local forensic lab fast tracked it and they say that is the gun that fired the bullet that killed Darren
00:24:41St. Jules.
00:24:43Look, security footage shows that no one touched that drawer since the shooting.
00:24:47Wait, so how was that gun used to shoot Darren St. Jules on this island if the same gun was
00:24:52locked in a drawer 5,000 miles away?
00:24:54I know, right?
00:24:56It makes no sense.
00:25:00We need to speak to Helen Dugdale.
00:25:13Helen?
00:25:14If you're in there, can you open the door, please?
00:25:16We need to speak with you about Ashley Sims.
00:25:24There's something you need to see.
00:25:27I guess I want to say sorry.
00:25:32I know it's not enough.
00:25:35And it won't change how you feel about me, but I do mean it.
00:25:43I don't know why I keep doing this.
00:25:46I blow everything up.
00:25:51But, erm, this is why I've come here.
00:25:57To get away.
00:26:01Try and understand why I hurt people.
00:26:08That's Ashley.
00:26:08The way that I do.
00:26:12She stole from me, from the company.
00:26:14How much?
00:26:15500,000 pounds.
00:26:17Ouch.
00:26:19My husband, Keith, Dugdale's was his company until he passed away at the start of the year from a heart
00:26:25attack.
00:26:26I'm sorry to hear that.
00:26:29That's when I took over the reins.
00:26:31I really wanted to make it work.
00:26:33And it was around that time that we had a position to fill.
00:26:36And you gave the job to Miss Sims?
00:26:39I knew she had a past, that she'd been to prison, but Keith always believed in giving people a second
00:26:43chance, and I wanted to honour that.
00:26:45What Miss Sims let you down?
00:26:48Not even a year has passed and I've already lost half a million pounds.
00:26:51Did you report Ashley to the police?
00:26:54I was too embarrassed.
00:26:56So I, I hired someone to find out where she sent the email from.
00:27:00And that video she recorded, that was sent from this island?
00:27:04Yes.
00:27:06Okay, so what does any of this have to do with Darian St. George?
00:27:10The man I hired discovered that Darian had rented a holiday let to Ashley.
00:27:14That's why I came here to try and get my money back.
00:27:17I made sure our villa wasn't far from Darian's house, so it would be easy to go and visit him.
00:27:21So you were lying when you told us you didn't know Darian?
00:27:23Did you meet with him?
00:27:26Yes.
00:27:26A few days ago.
00:27:28He confirmed that Ashley had rented this little place he has down on the beach.
00:27:32That so?
00:27:33So she was definitely here.
00:27:36She'd arrived a few months ago, at the start of October.
00:27:40He still had all the paperwork, but he said that she'd moved on a few days ago and he didn't
00:27:45know where.
00:27:46So what was Darian doing turning up at your villa in the early hours yesterday?
00:27:51I don't know.
00:27:53I really don't.
00:27:54How much do the others know about this?
00:27:56Nothing.
00:27:56They don't know anything.
00:27:57They think they're on a work's due.
00:27:59Not even your son?
00:28:00No.
00:28:00Not even Neil.
00:28:01So then the only person who knew Darian and therefore wanted him killed was you?
00:28:06No.
00:28:06I swear I didn't.
00:28:09I can see how this looks.
00:28:12But I didn't shoot him.
00:28:13I don't be-
00:28:16I need to take this.
00:28:22Commissioner, you got something?
00:28:24Inspector, I've searched Ashley Simms' flat and emailed you over some photographs.
00:28:29I'm afraid there is little of use to your investigation.
00:28:32I think she cleared out her flat before she flew to the Caribbean.
00:28:36Okay.
00:28:36Thanks anyway, sir.
00:28:37Now, if that is everything, I'm going to catch my train and enjoy the rest of my Christmas.
00:28:44Yeah.
00:28:44You have a good one, sir.
00:28:46And you, Inspector.
00:28:47And you.
00:28:56Thank you for your help, Miss Nords.
00:28:58Oh!
00:28:59I didn't do anything, really.
00:29:01And you're nothing if not efficient.
00:29:06So, what are your plans for Christmas?
00:29:08I'm spending it with my daughter and her partner.
00:29:11They've rented a cottage up in the, um, Yorkshire Dales.
00:29:16Oh, it's lovely up there.
00:29:17So, I'm told.
00:29:19I'd better-
00:29:19I'm flying solo this Christmas.
00:29:22I mean, that's how it's been since Mum passed.
00:29:25Just me, myself and I.
00:29:26Sorry.
00:29:27I really-
00:29:28No, no, no.
00:29:29I-I rather enjoy it, actually.
00:29:31You know, there's no family arguments.
00:29:33I can eat what I like, watch what I want on the telly.
00:29:36Christmas alone is underrated, I say.
00:29:40Indeed.
00:29:40No.
00:29:41I really don't want to miss my dream.
00:29:45Oh, of course.
00:29:48Goodbye, Mr. Patterson.
00:29:50Goodbye.
00:29:52And Merry Christmas.
00:29:54And a very Merry Christmas to you.

00:38:20to your bank account back in england no he didn't
00:38:30what you want to tell us where you got that money from
00:38:34what did you do neil yes neil what did you do i followed you why you were acting so weird
00:38:42a few days ago
00:38:44when you went off by yourself i knew that it had to be about the money that actually had taken
00:38:49i'm
00:38:49i'm sorry i couldn't understand why you didn't tell me and i know you were just trying to protect me
00:38:53mom i was worried about you i was just trying to help
00:38:59so i waited until the guy darian had left
00:39:04doors unlocked so i let myself in there wasn't anything i could find until i found an old biscuit
00:39:09tin it's full of money and what did you think when you opened it and saw a hundred thousand pounds
00:39:16in
00:39:16cash inside well i still think that it was money that belonged to the company i mean why else would
00:39:22this local fisherman have that much money in sterling in his house and that's why you took it
00:39:27because it was money that actually had stolen from us from mum
00:39:32and i don't want to see her lose everything
00:39:37she'd already lost my dad
00:39:43all right okay so fast forward to the morning you're due to leave the island yeah and our victim

00:40:14aftershave darian was wearing the morning of the murder right you're not suggesting that this is
00:40:22evidence i shot him why would i kill someone and then spray him with my own aftershave
00:40:31darian definitely smelt of this when we found him but why
00:40:37what if there was another smell the killer was trying to hide you know a bit like a bin man

00:48:13everything all right i'm feeling bad sir about messing up your christmas i'm sorry you couldn't get to
00:48:19spend it with your daughter it's not your fault if anyone's to blame it's the british transport system
00:48:25which i am told is not uncommon i mean i'd like to say you get used to it by be
00:48:30lying
00:48:32so
00:48:32so
00:48:32so
00:48:47Is that the sea?
00:48:49Yeah, I'm at the shack.
00:48:52It's beautiful out here.
00:48:54It's a really clear night.
00:48:56But then all nights are like that here, aren't they?
00:48:58The moon here is a little more grey than I remember it in St. Marie.
00:49:12I'm just wondering if I made a mistake staying on in St. Marie.
00:49:16Why?
00:49:17Because I know I'm not good when I put myself on the line.
00:49:21I feel like I'm just hanging around, waiting.
00:49:25Your brother.
00:49:28Yeah.
00:49:32I don't think he wants to get in touch.
00:49:38I'm sorry, it's not really your problem anymore, is it?
00:49:40Whether I stay or go.
00:49:42It still feels like it is.
00:49:48Inspector.
00:49:49If you are not sure what to do, the only advice I can offer is that you put your trust
00:49:56in that island.
00:49:58I did for most of my life.
00:50:02And in return, it delivered me true happiness.
00:50:11If St. Marie won't bring your brother to you,
00:50:15then perhaps it will bring you someone or something else.
00:50:26Be patient.
00:50:28Yeah, well, you know patience isn't my forte, right?
00:50:32I know.
00:50:34But what am I supposed to do in the meantime?
00:50:36Might I suggest you focus on solving that case, you have.
00:50:44You're missed here, you know.
00:50:51Good night, Inspector.
00:51:26Blitzen. Why Blitzen?
00:51:30Officer Rose.
00:51:31Inspector.
00:51:33What's up?
00:51:34I wanted to come and say I'm sorry for spending all that money you don't have in your budget.
00:51:39So, I wanted to pay it back.
00:51:47There's $322.86 in there, which I took from my savings.
00:51:52I mean, it's all my savings, but that's cool.
00:51:55And if you deduct $20 from my wages each month, you should be paid back in about two years, I
00:52:02reckon.
00:52:04Officer Rose.
00:52:07You got a good heart. Anyone ever tell you that?
00:52:11Well, my auntie. Like, all the time. You know?
00:52:18Take this.
00:52:19You don't have to pay anything back.
00:52:22We'll find it in the budget.
00:52:24And there's no need to apologise, alright?
00:52:27In fact, I should apologise for blazing at you like that.
00:52:31What you did was, erm, was really good work.
00:52:37Anyway, come on. I've got a new lead. Let's go and wait DS Thomas up.
00:52:47He can't keep doing this.
00:52:50Happy Boxing Day DS Thomas.
00:52:54Listen, erm, I want to apologise for losing it and ruining Christmas.
00:53:02I'll make it up to you. I promise.
00:53:07And you were right about me taking it out on you because of Solomon.
00:53:14I just really wanted it. You know?
00:53:20I'm sorry too.
00:53:23Good morning, Sarge.
00:53:25The inspector tell you the good news yet?
00:53:28He's only going to make a big breakthrough in the case.
00:53:30Which is a big relief.
00:53:31Cos I was drawing a blank.
00:53:33Ya tea?
00:53:37So I've been going through Darien St. George's phone records.
00:53:40And he phoned someone the day before he was murdered.
00:53:42A friend of his called Trishawn King.
00:53:45Now he was over on Montserrat for Christmas.
00:53:48So I asked Darlene to speak with him.
00:53:51Darlene?
00:53:52Last night?
00:53:53Yeah.
00:53:53And how was she with that?
00:53:55Er, you know, she was...
00:53:57She was cool with it.
00:53:59Inspector, it's Christmas Day.
00:54:01What in God's name do you think you're doing?
00:54:08Anyway, it turned out Darien feared for his life.
00:54:12And he was asking Trishawn where he can get hold of a gun for protection.
00:54:16He thought someone was going to kill him.
00:54:18Did he say who?
00:54:20Hmm.
00:54:21But he did say he was caught up in something he shouldn't have.
00:54:23And get this.
00:54:24He thought the woman he was trying to help had been murdered.
00:54:27Now I'm caught up in it all.
00:54:29And now he was worried that he was going to suffer the same fate.
00:54:32Whoa, wait.
00:54:33Darien told Trishawn he thought Ashley Sims was murdered?
00:54:37But it would explain why no one's seen her the last few days.
00:54:40So then, if this is true, that means that whoever killed Ashley Sims probably also murdered Darien St. Jude.
00:54:47To silence him.
00:54:48So what we need to start looking for now is anyone who had a reason to kill Ashley Sims.
00:54:54But both Helen and Neil Dugdale to start with.
00:54:56Ashley stole half a million pounds from their company.
00:55:01And there's someone else as well.
00:55:09We've been looking at your phone records.
00:55:11And these, Miss Hickson, are text messages from you to Ashley Sims just before she came out here.
00:55:17You'll regret ever meeting me.
00:55:19Stay away from my boyfriend or else I'm not afraid to hurt you.
00:55:25The list goes on.
00:55:27Care to explain?
00:55:29They had a thing, right?
00:55:32Gavin and Ashley had a thing behind my back.
00:55:35Or sort of.
00:55:37Sort of?
00:55:40Yeah, like, it wasn't like a real thing.
00:55:41Like, they never really got together.
00:55:43But he liked her.
00:55:46Yeah.
00:55:48God knows why.
00:55:49She was weird.
00:55:50But I think Gav liked that about her.
00:55:52And he called things off between us.
00:55:58And that's when I started warning her off.
00:55:59Guess I just got a bit carried away.
00:56:02I just...
00:56:04I just didn't want to lose him.
00:56:06And you didn't.
00:56:08Now that Ashley's conveniently disappeared,
00:56:11you've got Gavin to yourself now, haven't you?
00:56:13What?
00:56:14Is that what you think?
00:56:15That I killed her?
00:56:20No, I wouldn't.
00:56:22I didn't.
00:56:23It'll be about Gavin.
00:56:26We need to tell him what we know.
00:56:28But Ashley called things off with Gav.
00:56:31Why would I kill her?
00:56:32Inspector?
00:56:34You need to hear the truth.
00:56:35What?
00:56:37And I'm afraid you're not going to get that from her.
00:56:39No disrespect, Karen.
00:56:40Neil, come on, man.
00:56:42What are you saying?
00:56:43Whatever she's told you, it's ten times worse.
00:56:46Neil, what are you saying?
00:56:47Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:56:48You've had your chance.
00:56:49Go on.
00:56:50He had a thing for Ashley.
00:56:52Is that it?
00:56:54We already know.
00:56:55No, it was more than that.
00:56:56Gavin was obsessed.
00:56:58When Ashley said they couldn't see each other anymore,
00:57:00he had to take time off work.
00:57:02And I've seen the posters you've been putting up.
00:57:03If Ashley's gone missing, then I'm telling you,
00:57:05it'll have something to do with Gavin.
00:57:08Inspector!
00:57:14Someone's just broken into the villa where Darion was shut.
00:57:27Phaio said they could do this.
00:57:29It'll have a fight.
00:57:30Go in.
00:57:31So he's a scientist.
00:57:33Is that right?
00:57:35I don't think he's going to be dimensional.
00:57:36And you've been doing something.
00:57:37I don't think he is.
00:57:38I'm going to do anything.
00:57:38Go on.
00:57:46I don't think he's doing that.
00:57:59Mr. Bradbury, this doesn't look good at all.
00:58:05But then I don't think you need me to tell you that.
00:58:11You want to start by telling us what we're going to find in that pool you've just emptied,
00:58:14and we know it's not the gun used to kill Darien St. Jules,
00:58:18because that's currently sitting in a police station somewhere in Swindon.
00:58:21So what's down there?
00:58:22Why have you come back to the crime scene, Gavin? What's so important?
00:58:25Inspector! Found something.
00:58:28What is it?
00:58:29A bullet. One that's been fired.
00:58:37Why is there a bullet in the pool, Gav?
00:58:41It's like...
00:58:43keepsake.
00:58:44Like, something to remember Ashley by.
00:58:50A bullet?
00:58:52There are other things that I've got of hers as well, like...
00:58:57more like, like, normal things.
00:58:59I'm really not interested in those, funny enough.
00:59:02Ashley, she's...
00:59:04she's not like anyone I've ever met before.
00:59:06Like, it was exciting being around her,
00:59:08and her life was so different to mine.
00:59:12Yeah, I hear that. The bullet.
00:59:14Yeah.
00:59:16She has a gun.
00:59:18She was looking after it as a favour for someone that she knew from prison,
00:59:22and she... well...
00:59:25we went out to the woods one day, and she let me fire it.
00:59:28It was amazing, right?
00:59:30It was a...
00:59:31You know, like, exhilarating.
00:59:33And I went and got one of the bullets.
00:59:34You know, like I said, that I would keep it with me to remind me of her.
00:59:37And they say romance is dead.
00:59:41So, why did it end up in the pool?
00:59:44I panicked.
00:59:45But when there was that dead guy, and Neil called the police,
00:59:50I was worried that if you found it, you'd think it was me that shot him.
00:59:53So I took it out, and I was wondering what to do, and...
00:59:57I dropped it.
00:59:59Right, it fell in the pool.
01:00:02And then the more you were sniffing around,
01:00:04the more I started to worry that you'd find it.
01:00:05So I came back, and I...
01:00:10So you loved Ashley, then?
01:00:13Yeah, I guess, yeah.
01:00:16Must have really hurt when she ended things.
01:00:20Gavin, we believe Ashley Sims was murdered on this island in the last few days.
01:00:26What? No. What? If she can't be...
01:00:28And we're kind of wondering if maybe you did it.
01:00:30Me?
01:00:33Why would I kill Ashley?
01:00:34Because you couldn't have her.
01:00:36And it hurt like hell.
01:00:37No, no, no, no. You've got this wrong.
01:00:38I didn't kill her.
01:00:40Like, all that man.
01:00:42You seem a bit edgy, Gavin.
01:00:45Is there something you aren't telling us?
01:00:47There's nothing.
01:00:50Really, there is nothing.
01:00:58Paradise Court Hotel, please.
01:01:06What is it that he's not saying?
01:01:14Hey, this is Ashley's phone.
01:01:16You know what to do.
01:01:17Ashley, it's me.
01:01:18We need to talk.
01:01:19I'm worried about you.
01:01:21The police have been asking questions and I think they know about us.
01:01:24So, just let me know what you want me to do, yeah?
01:01:28Please call me back.
01:01:30I love you.
01:01:43You all right, sir?
01:01:45You seem a bit tense.
01:01:47I just can't work this one out.
01:01:49I mean, we've got one potential murder victim whose body we haven't found.
01:01:54Another murder victim whose body we have found.
01:01:56But that murder weapon was locked in a desk drawer on the other side of the world when that
01:02:00murder took place.
01:02:01I mean, where do we even start?
01:02:03Well, sounds like you need to go get a little shoulder rope, you know?
01:02:07Release some of that tension.
01:02:09No, you all right, Officer Rose.
01:02:13Oh, this guy again.
01:02:16Listen, mate, I told you before, I'm not interested in upgrading to another phone.
01:02:20So, stop calling me, yeah?
01:02:22Is that Mervyn Wilson?
01:02:24Yeah, it's still Mervyn Wilson and I'm still not interested.
01:02:27It's me, Solomon.
01:02:29Your brother.
01:02:36Are you there, Mervyn?
01:02:40Mervyn?
01:02:42Yes.
01:02:43Yes, he's here.
01:02:45Don't hang up.
01:02:58Solomon.
01:03:00It's Mervyn.
01:03:02Yeah, it's always, you know that.
01:03:05Look, mate, I'm sorry.
01:03:07I just wasn't expecting your call.
01:03:09Yeah, I know.
01:03:10I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get in touch, but it was, you know.
01:03:16No, no, no, mate.
01:03:17I totally understand, yeah?
01:03:19I mean, it's a process, right?
01:03:22But, hey, you're calling now, aren't you?
01:03:25Yeah, man.
01:03:26It's a process.
01:03:27But I'm glad to be calling now.
01:03:33Are you still there?
01:03:36Mervyn?
01:03:36Yeah, yeah, I'm still here.
01:03:43Look, Solomon, I'm really, really sorry to do this to you.
01:03:47And I am so glad you called and that we're finally speaking.
01:03:50And I really, really want us to talk again, but right now, there's something I need to do, yeah?
01:04:00Yeah, man, no problem.
01:04:01But I'll tell you.
01:04:03That was quick.
01:04:05Officer Rose, that billboard, you did that, right?
01:04:08Yes, sir, I did.
01:04:11But you should already have the invites for that.
01:04:12It's not going to cost any extra.
01:04:14No, no, no, I don't care about the cost.
01:04:15It was worth every penny.
01:04:16Come, come, come, look.
01:04:23You see, all along, we've been looking at Ashley's footage on phone screens and laptops, yeah?
01:04:29Well, they were too small.
01:04:31I don't understand.
01:04:33You see where Ashley is?
01:04:35This is a still from the video she made.
01:04:37And in the background, there's a ship passing by.
01:04:41Now, before, that was just a speck.
01:04:43But now you've blown it up.
01:04:44Look at it.
01:04:46What about the ship?
01:04:48Look at what it's called.
01:04:52Blitzen.
01:04:53Blitzen.
01:04:55Yeah?
01:04:56Now we know.
01:04:58Oh, Officer Rose, if you were so tall, I'd kiss you.
01:05:02Why would Darion write the name of that ship on his hands?
01:05:05Well, he obviously saw the footage himself, and then, um, he saw something in it.
01:05:11But what?
01:05:18It's like she's vanished into thin air.
01:05:20Why have I come here?
01:05:21I thought I was helping someone.
01:05:24You know what?
01:05:25I think I'm starting to work out what went down here.
01:05:29But I need to make a phone call.
01:05:32And you need to get on to airport security.
01:05:34Come on.
01:05:36All right, mate.
01:05:38Much appreciated.
01:05:39Cheers.
01:05:41Wow.
01:05:42What's wow?
01:05:46So, that ship behind Ashley Sims, it's owned by a Scandinavian container shipping company.
01:05:52Now we know from the information on that footage, Ashley recorded it on the 4th of October, right?
01:05:57Right.
01:05:58Well, check this.
01:05:59The Blitzen was passing by the south coast of England on the 4th of October.
01:06:04Thousands of miles from the Caribbean.
01:06:05So, Ashley recorded that video on a beach back in the UK?
01:06:10Which means she was never even here.
01:06:13Inspector, the airport just emailed over security camera footage the day Ashley Sims arrived on the island.
01:06:21Oh, wait, she was here?
01:06:24Thank you for a wonderful Christmas, Marjorie.
01:06:27Oh, it's been lovely.
01:06:28Let me give you a hand with that.
01:06:30Oh, don't be daft.
01:06:31You don't know where anything goes.
01:06:32Then you can tell me.
01:06:34It's the least I can do.
01:06:37Living room, sideboard drawer.
01:06:39Living room, sideboard drawer.
01:06:42Living room, sideboard drawer.
01:06:44But if Ashley Sims has never been here before,
01:06:47why do immigration records show that she has?
01:06:50Because someone else came pretending to be Ashley,
01:06:53presumably on a fake passport,
01:06:55and that someone paid Darian 100k
01:06:57to lie and say Ashley rented his property for the past few months.
01:07:00But why would they do that?
01:07:02To misdirect and confuse anyone looking for her.
01:07:05Because they'd already killed Ashley and taken the money.
01:07:08So one of our four suspects has been there three months previously?
01:07:11Which is why we're going through this footage,
01:07:13because it will show who was pretending to be Ashley Sims.
01:07:18There.
01:07:19Why didn't I see that before?
01:07:21Why I've come here to try and understand why I hurt people.
01:07:25No, it was more than that.
01:07:26Gavin was obsessed.
01:07:28Of course.
01:07:29After that, nobody is seen leaving or arriving.
01:07:32So it's got to be one of these four who shot Darian and St. Jules.
01:07:36You were in the hammock when whatever happened, happened.
01:07:39You didn't hear the gunshot?
01:07:40It's like Helen said, you know, the room out here, it's stronger than you used to.
01:07:43What if there was another smell the killer was trying to hide?
01:07:47It makes perfect sense now.
01:07:50For definite, there's no gun at the villa.
01:07:51The commissioner found a gun locked in the desk drawer
01:07:54at Dougdale's offices back in the UK.
01:07:56We need to call the commissioner.
01:07:58The commissioner?
01:07:59Why?
01:07:59Because he's with the killer as we speak.
01:08:14Come on, sir.
01:08:15Pick up.
01:08:20And what about these ones?
01:08:22Same drawer.
01:08:23Oh.
01:08:29I've always wanted to go to the caribbean.
01:08:49I said the same drawer.
01:08:53No.
01:08:59That necklace, the stone is lithmer, unique to St. Marie.
01:09:05You told me you always wanted to go to the caribbean like you've never been.
01:09:13You were lying.
01:09:16No, no, Selwyn.
01:09:18It was you that went to St. Marie three months ago.
01:09:22If Ashley never went then, is she dead?
01:09:27Oh, I'm sorry.
01:09:29I didn't mean to.
01:09:31It just happened.
01:09:34Miss Jones.
01:09:37I think you should put the knife down, though.
01:09:47Please.
01:09:50Oh.
01:09:56That video she made, it wasn't in the caribbean, was it?
01:10:02Bournemouth.
01:10:04On a Sunday, she'd gone to the seaside.
01:10:08She realized she'd made a mistake stealing that money, didn't she?
01:10:14Then she wanted to give the money back and send the video as an apology.
01:10:19I want to say sorry.
01:10:21I don't know why I keep doing this.
01:10:23Miss Simms didn't leave the country.
01:10:28I'd gone in to the office that day to deal with an order that had gone wrong.
01:10:33It wasn't my fault.
01:10:35But I was the one who had to go in and fix it.
01:10:38And then when I let myself in, I found Ashley there and I knew, I knew straight away what the
01:10:45money was.
01:10:46You overhear a lot when you sit at reception all day.
01:10:50I knew it was you.
01:10:51And I went to call the police.
01:10:54Wait, I'm giving the money back, Marjorie.
01:10:57Don't.
01:10:58Please.
01:10:59I'm calling the police now.
01:11:02Don't do this to me.
01:11:03You're not.
01:11:04And Ashley tried to stop me.
01:11:06I won't let you, Marjorie.
01:11:08Get off me.
01:11:09Push her off me and...
01:11:23And I wasn't even supposed to be in that day.
01:11:29But it's like I told you, nobody, nobody cares for me there.
01:11:34They just take me for granted and...
01:11:37You sold the money and thought, finally, you could take something back for yourself.
01:11:46All you had to do was dispose of the body.
01:11:53Where?
01:11:59In my back garden.
01:12:02Oh.
01:12:07And then you made a fake passport in Ashley's name.
01:12:10Oh, that wasn't hard, you know, with all the kit we've got in the office.
01:12:14You flew on that passport to St. Marie.
01:12:17To make it look as if Miss Sims had run away to the other side of the world and rented
01:12:24her property there for the last few months.
01:12:27You know, I, I really did want to go to the Caribbean.
01:12:32It's just that I never had the chance or the money until...
01:12:38And if you were going to misdirect from what really happened here in Swindon, where the dead body was,
01:12:46then the farther away, the better, and no one would realize.
01:12:57Until things started to go wrong and you received a phone call.
01:13:10You're saying Marjorie killed Ashley Sims?
01:13:14Our receptionist, that Marjorie?
01:13:16That Marjorie.
01:13:17Yes, Marjorie Dodds, the receptionist, killed Ashley Sims in England
01:13:21and made it look as if she ran away to the Caribbean with your 500k.
01:13:25Oh, my.
01:13:26I did not see that coming.
01:13:28So which one of us shot the man found in our swimming pool?
01:13:32It wasn't any of you.
01:13:34But it had to be. You said so.
01:13:36No one else was here.
01:13:37Yeah, you're right. I did say that.
01:13:39But what I didn't know then was that Darian St. Jules wasn't shot at your villa.
01:13:44It just looked like he was.
01:13:46That's why no gunshot was heard, because there wasn't one.
01:13:50He'd already been shot.
01:13:56We know now from our colleague in the UK that Marjorie had paid Darian money.
01:14:02She came to the island three months ago on a forged passport,
01:14:04and she gave him £100,000 to lie and cover if anyone ever came to the island asking after Ashley.
01:14:12She'd convinced him he was doing a favour for a very vulnerable friend of hers.
01:14:18But when you visited him a few days ago, Mrs. Dogdale,
01:14:21asking questions, mentioning the missing £500,000,
01:14:24Darian started to wonder what he'd got himself involved in.
01:14:28And when he re-watched that footage more closely,
01:14:30the footage of Ashley you'd shown him,
01:14:33as an experienced fisherman who knew the waters of St. Marie very well,
01:14:37something about it bothered him.
01:14:39Zooming in, he was able to read the name of the boat, Blitzen.
01:14:42He knew this was not a St. Marie vessel.
01:14:46He worked out that the video of Ashley was actually shot in the UK.
01:14:52And having heard from you, Mrs. Dogdale,
01:14:55that Ashley went missing with £500,000 of your money,
01:14:59Darian started to realise that Ashley had never been to the island.
01:15:02He'd only ever met Marjorie.
01:15:04So he phoned Miss Dodds, asking what was going on.
01:15:13We need to talk.
01:15:14Listen, Darian, you've got this all wrong.
01:15:19All throughout this case,
01:15:20we thought Darian's killer had to be one of you four.
01:15:24The one person we never suspected was Marjorie Dodds.
01:15:28It was all the way back in Swindon.
01:15:29Or so we thought.
01:15:31With Darian threatening to go to the police,
01:15:34Marjorie asked him to hang fire.
01:15:36And she would fly out here and speak to him in person.
01:15:40Marjorie was here?
01:15:41On this island?
01:15:41At the exact same time we were?
01:15:43Yeah.
01:15:43She arrived the night before Darian was shot
01:15:45and flew back to the UK the next morning.
01:15:49Unable to convince Darian to keep quiet and carry on with the lie,
01:15:53Marjorie started to grow desperate.
01:15:55Worried he'd tell the police.
01:15:57I can give you more money.
01:15:58How much?
01:15:59Just tell me and I'll give it to you.
01:16:01We know Darian was searching around for a gun,
01:16:04for self-protection.
01:16:06I just want you to leave.
01:16:08Now!
01:16:10He never expected Marjorie would use it against him.
01:16:18What are you doing?
01:16:19Put the gun down!
01:16:25After shooting Darian, Marjorie left and headed for the airport.
01:16:29Before getting back on the plane,
01:16:31arriving at Dugdale's offices just in time to meet with our very own Commissioner Patterson.
01:16:36If Marjorie shot Darian at his house,
01:16:39how did he end up at our villa?
01:16:41Marjorie thought she'd killed him.
01:16:43But what she didn't know when she left Darian's place
01:16:46was that he was still alive.
01:16:51It was the fact that he smelled so strongly of someone else's aftershave
01:16:55they helped us work it out.
01:16:56Neil's aftershave, in fact.
01:16:58We thought it was there to cover up another smell
01:17:00that we now know was antiseptic.
01:17:05The stuff used to clean up a wound.
01:17:07Because as soon as Marjorie quit the scene,
01:17:09Darian regained consciousness and patched himself up.
01:17:12As far as he was concerned, the bullet was just lodged in his shoulder.
01:17:16It wasn't life-threatening.
01:17:17So he put on a fresh T-shirt
01:17:20and headed off for the hospital to get it properly seen to.
01:17:23But on the way, it passed your villa,
01:17:25which was just half a mile down the road.
01:17:28And I think Darian intended to alert you to what had gone down.
01:17:32He stopped here to tell you the truth about Ashley
01:17:34and to warn you about what Marjorie had done.
01:17:37That's why he came here that morning.
01:17:39To tell you what your colleague had done to Ashley and, in turn,
01:17:43to him.
01:17:44To make sure it didn't happen to anyone else.
01:17:47But what Darian didn't know was that his wound was worse than he thought.
01:17:52And he was bleeding internally.
01:17:54And so, despite his brave effort to alert you all to the truth,
01:17:59he died here in your villa.
01:18:03But then someone proceeded to stage the scene
01:18:07as if he was shot in this villa.
01:18:11Didn't you, Mr Bradbury?
01:18:15Me? What?
01:18:16We talked... No, of course not. No.
01:18:18And you did it because Ashley told you to.
01:18:22You're crazy. Ashley?
01:18:24I don't know what you're talking about.
01:18:27Let me have your phone.
01:18:32Gavin, please.
01:18:35It's okay.
01:18:38Unlock it.
01:18:53Bingo.
01:18:54Text messages seemingly from Ashley Sims
01:18:57from the moment she disappeared right up to today.
01:18:59But all of these were sent by Marjorie Dodds.
01:19:05Who kept Ashley's phone after she killed her.
01:19:08No, you...
01:19:08You know, you're wrong.
01:19:09You can't be...
01:19:10You've been texting her?
01:19:11No.
01:19:11This whole time?
01:19:12Karen, I'm sorry.
01:19:13Look, look.
01:19:13No, no.
01:19:14Karen!
01:19:16And here.
01:19:17Proof of what happened.
01:19:19Messages exchanged on the morning of Darian's death.
01:19:21Because despite what you told us, Gavin,
01:19:24you were actually the first to discover Darian's body.
01:19:29You knew who Darian was because Ashley had told you all about him.
01:19:33And so you contacted Ashley.
01:19:36Left a message telling her that Darian had turned up to the villa and died.
01:19:40And asking her what was going on.
01:19:42A few minutes later, she...
01:19:43Or rather, Marjorie texted back.
01:19:48See, Marjorie realized that if the police were called and found Darian with his wound patched up,
01:19:54they'd know he was shot somewhere else.
01:19:56And the trail would lead right back to her.
01:20:00So, she had to do two things.
01:20:03First, she texted you with instructions.
01:20:05Second, she had to clear up the real scene of the crime.
01:20:08Marjorie's confessed to her colleague in the UK
01:20:10that she quickly doubled back from the airport and returned to Darian's house
01:20:13before disposing of the gun and the t-shirt he was wearing when she shot him.
01:20:17Meanwhile, you moved the body outside to the swimming pool.
01:20:19There's also a mention here of that bullet you kept as a memento
01:20:22in the text messages you sent to Ashley.
01:20:25Well, that's how Marjorie knew.
01:20:27So, as Ashley,
01:20:29she asked you to remove the bullet she killed Darian with
01:20:32and replace it with the one she knew you had.
01:20:37However, in your haste,
01:20:39you must have dropped the bullet you extracted into the swimming pool.
01:20:44But you knew you could come back and retrieve it later.
01:20:48Once you switched the bullets, the heartbeat was over.
01:20:51You disposed of the dressing,
01:20:55then made a hole in his t-shirt
01:20:57and let the blood around the wound soak in.
01:21:00So now, it looked like Darian had been shot after he entered the villa, not before.
01:21:06The last problem you had was getting rid of that antiseptic smell.
01:21:10Because that stuff lingers, right?
01:21:12And if the police noticed it,
01:21:13we'd certainly be asking who cleaned up the wound and why.
01:21:17So you ran into the bathroom and got hold of some aftershave,
01:21:20nails and doused him in it.
01:21:21So now, all you had to do was pretend to be asleep
01:21:25when Mrs. Dogdale discovered the body.
01:21:28Gavin, we need to get to the airport.
01:21:31You've got to pack.
01:21:32Leaving us without a scooby
01:21:34as to how a man was shot with a gun
01:21:36that was locked in a desk drawer 5,000 miles away
01:21:38in a Swindon warehouse.
01:21:40In the end, it wasn't just the police that Marjorie Dodds had duped.
01:21:44It was you as well, Gavin.
01:21:46You see, you thought you were helping the woman you loved.
01:21:49A woman you'd do anything for
01:21:50when you were actually helping her killer.
01:22:01Officer Rose.
01:22:11Mr. Bradbury, I'm arresting on the suspicion
01:22:13of perverting the course of justice.
01:22:15You don't need to say anything.
01:22:16But it may harm your defence
01:22:17if you do not mention one question,
01:22:19something you later rely on in court.
01:22:21Anything you do say may be used as evidence.
01:22:23I need to know,
01:22:25why did you come to the train station that night
01:22:28and invite me into your home?
01:22:31I take that risk.
01:22:34Because I didn't want to spend Christmas on my own again.
01:22:43I'm so sorry I spoiled it all.
01:22:58Inspector.
01:23:00Commissioner?
01:23:01The arrest has been made.
01:23:03I'm pleased to see.
01:23:04Same here.
01:23:05We couldn't have done it without you, sir.
01:23:08Oh, and are you doing all right?
01:23:10Me?
01:23:11Yes, of course.
01:23:13I'm fine.
01:23:14Merry Christmas, sir.
01:23:21I'm doing fine.
01:23:25We regret to announce that the 10-15 to Leeds will be delayed
01:23:31due to a shortage of train staff.
01:23:40Chief Commissioner, it's Selwyn Patterson.
01:23:45And to you, and apologies for calling you during the holidays.
01:23:50But I wanted to know if you'd found my replacement as yet.
01:24:01I see.
01:24:02I've been doing some thinking.
01:24:05And I wondered if there was any chance of my returning to the road,
01:24:13if it's still vacant.
01:24:29The thing is, Harry, the classic Christmas Day Sunday roast lunch is all well and good.
01:24:35But when push comes to shove, the real culinary high point is the turkey and stuffing sarnie.
01:24:42Because my friend, in my humble opinion, it is one of the greatest delicacies known to mankind.
01:24:52Like bacon and eggs?
01:24:53Oh, D.S. Thomas, you're just in time.
01:24:56Come in, come in.
01:24:59Grab those for me, would you?
01:25:04So, uh, what is this about, sir?
01:25:08I promised I'd make up for spoiling Christmas Day.
01:25:11And that is exactly what I'm doing.
01:25:13Come on.
01:25:18I don't know why I didn't think of this before.
01:25:19Oh, my front room on the beach.
01:25:22Is that a good idea, do you think?
01:25:24Yeah, why not?
01:25:25So we're watching something.
01:25:27We certainly are, D.S. Thomas.
01:25:29Not the...
01:25:29The great escape, yeah.
01:25:34Beers and butties, everyone.
01:25:37And thank you to our local mayor for letting me have the leftovers from the bar.
01:25:42And you've put it all between two slices of bread?
01:25:46Yeah.
01:25:47How English.
01:25:49Excited for this film, Inspector.
01:25:51Sounds dope.
01:25:53Um, sir.
01:25:57Is this really your favourite thing about Christmas?
01:26:00Well, yeah.
01:26:03When I was a little boy growing up, most times I didn't know where I was going to end up
01:26:08spending
01:26:08Christmas, right?
01:26:10With a foster family or in a care home.
01:26:15But wherever I ended up, the one constant every Christmas was this film.
01:26:21And it was a comfort to me.
01:26:24I bet that little boy never thought he'd be here, in the Caribbean, all these years later, watching
01:26:33that same film, surrounded by his friends.
01:26:42He certainly didn't care for him.
01:26:47So, um...
01:26:49To him.
01:26:51To him.
01:26:53Beceto man.
01:26:54Okay, then.
01:26:56Showtime!
01:26:56Yeah.
01:27:06Um, look, uh, oh, just, just give me a few minutes, yeah?
01:27:11Yeah?
01:27:18Solomon, how you doing, man?
01:27:21You got my message, yeah?
01:27:25Look, I'm sorry I had to cut you off like that before, yeah?
01:27:29It was just an emergency at work I had to deal with.
01:27:33So, how's your Christmas been?
01:27:36Yeah? Good.
01:27:38Yeah?
01:27:40Mine, um, yeah, yeah, it's been really good.
01:27:48Look, um, I don't know how you feel about this,
01:27:52but I was wondering if you wanted to meet up sometime.
01:27:59Yeah?
01:28:02Yeah, I definitely would like to.
01:28:11I don't know.
01:28:16I don't know.
01:28:23I don't know.
01:28:29I don't know.
