00:00Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you the Luska.
00:05This giant cephalopod-like sea creature, half octopus, half shark,
00:10is, many believe, the stuff of fantasy.
00:14The kind of fictional monster Jules Verne might dream up.
00:18But then, there are those more open-minded souls, like myself,
00:22who believe this gigantic cryptid to be as real as you or I.
00:27I will present to you the evidence I have collated,
00:30proving this animal is no mere figment of the imagination.
00:33And it all begins with the first sighting,
00:36off the coast of St. Marie in 1823,
00:40by this man,
00:42a pirate by the name of Pierre Lafitte.
00:52Pierre Lafitte was my great-great-great-grandfather.
00:56I'll tell you no lies.
00:58Still got the journal he had when he was pirating away.
01:01Passed on from generation to generation.
01:04And that's why this is the only boat trip
01:07where you can experience the exact place
01:09my ancestor witnessed.
01:12The Luska.
01:14Roll up, roll up!
01:16You know you want to.
01:17And I promise you guys,
01:19you will not be disappointed.
01:22So, how was it?
01:24You're a believer now.
01:26To be honest,
01:29I think I'm even less of a believer than I was before.
01:32I don't know why you're bothered.
01:34Because I want to be prepared.
01:37I'm afraid nothing can prepare you for my ex-husband.
01:46Either that's him,
01:47or we've come to a soup kitchen by mistake.
01:53Hello, Giles.
01:55Cara, it's been a while, hasn't it?
01:58Oh!
02:01Stop me.
02:07This is Rory.
02:10Ah, yes.
02:11Didn't realise you were bringing him.
02:14Nice to meet you, Rory.
02:16It's great to finally meet you, Giles.
02:18Can't wait to hear all your stories about the Luska.
02:20Absolutely fascinated about it.
02:22Ah.
02:24Would you like a glass of wine?
02:26Just a cup of coffee will do me, ta.
02:29Um...
02:29Let me see if I can find a waiter.
02:32Sit down.
02:39So, how are you?
02:41I mean, you know, the...
02:43the anniversary.
02:45Feels strange to be back.
02:48Like it was only yesterday.
02:51I'm taking the boat out later to where it happened.
02:55Fancy joining.
02:56You remember him together?
02:57No, I'd rather stay here.
02:59With Rory.
03:12Oh, no.
03:19Poor guy.
03:29All right, we'll let her.
03:57It's just a bad dream.
04:06Where have you been?
04:08Just went for a walk, that's all.
04:12Thanks.
04:32And I'll see you next time.
04:32We'll see you next time.
04:34Bye-bye.
05:10Morning, sir. You good?
05:13No, I am not good.
05:16What's wrong?
05:17Turns out I am an uncle.
05:20Yes, mum.
05:21I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
05:23What, I came to visit Uncle Merv anyway?
05:26That's Eloise, the niece I didn't know I had.
05:29So you're her Uncle Merv.
05:31No, I'm not.
05:32I mean, yes, I am her uncle, but not Merv.
05:35Never Merv, understood?
05:37OK. Clearly touched a nerve there.
05:41Well, I kind of miss him.
05:42So she's Solomon's daughter?
05:44I don't know why he couldn't just tell me that in the first place.
05:46He could have just said, well, as it happens, I do have a daughter.
05:49Are he and her mother together?
05:51Yeah, not for some time, apparently.
05:53She's supposed to be staying with her auntie Vondra.
05:55Well, she doesn't like it better, so she ran away and came here.
05:59They've got a case, I assume?
06:01Oh, my God.
06:02It's not a murder case, is it?
06:05Please let me come on a ride along, Uncle Merv.
06:07Please.
06:08Right.
06:09So, firstly, you're not coming on any ride along.
06:12And secondly, it's not Uncle Merv.
06:15It's Mervyn, remember?
06:18Hi.
06:19I'm Naomi, by the way.
06:21I work with your Uncle Merv.
06:25Right.
06:26Go pack your stuff, young lady.
06:27You've got a boat to catch.
06:29I am sending you back home to Antigua.
06:31Whatever you say, Uncle Merv.
06:33And it's not...
06:37I like her.
06:43Victim's name's Giles Parry, 58 years of age.
06:46Body was found floating six miles out at sea.
06:49Sergeant Fletcher's with the Coast Guard now.
06:51A couple of fishermen going out early this morning came across the body.
06:55But paramedics reckon he'd been in the water since last night.
06:59Thing is, this is already causing a stir around the harbor.
07:03Why is that?
07:04Because of those marks on his body.
07:08They're all over his front and his back.
07:10And the bruising here.
07:12Some people are saying it was caused by the Luska.
07:15And that's what killed him.
07:17Sorry, what?
07:19It's a sea monster.
07:20A sea monster?
07:21Like a local legend kind of thing.
07:24Half shark, half octopus.
07:26Wraps its tentacles around you and drags you under.
07:28Hence...
07:29A sea monster?
07:30Not everybody believes in this thing.
07:32Most people don't.
07:34Do you?
07:34No, but it's still part of our history.
07:39Part of our culture.
07:40Right.
07:40Well, we can knock that theory on the head as a possible cause of death, all right?
07:44Except there's a little more to it than that, sir.
07:47That's why he's here.
07:55I've always wondered whether this would come back to haunt me.
07:59Seven years ago yesterday, Giles Parry's 16-year-old son, Benjamin, drowned at sea.
08:08In the exact same location as Giles' body was found this morning.
08:14A local fisherman told me that Mr. Parry had sailed out to that spot yesterday to pay his respects.
08:24Then he ended up dead himself.
08:28Was he stormy yesterday?
08:30Called the harbour master.
08:32It was calm for the last 24 hours.
08:34Do we know what time he left the harbour?
08:36Just before seven o'clock, according to the GPS.
08:40Also, there's a boat mechanic who's been fixing Mr. Parry's engine.
08:43He saw him leave.
08:44He says there was definitely nobody else on the boat with him.
08:48It's arrived at a final destination half an hour later.
08:52Radar shows no other boat near it at any point.
08:54So, what happened to him?
08:56How did he end up dead with all those weird markings on him?
09:00Unless, you know, it was the lost girl.
09:06I hate to break it to you, Officer Rose, but sea monsters don't exist.
09:09No, yeah, I know.
09:12But, it'd be cool if they did, though, right?
09:15What's that?
09:24It's a bullet.
09:26Our victim wasn't shot, right?
09:29No.
09:30And there was no gun found on the boat?
09:32Not that tough phone so far.
09:38So, what is that doing here?
09:48I don't know what happened on that boat, but the fact that we found this on it means it's suspicious.
09:55I think someone else was there, you know?
10:02I'm going to talk to Catherine.
10:05From what I know, James Parry was an isolated figure, but he did drink at her bar and he would
10:11talk to her.
10:13Well, I'm also going to contact the Guadalupe police and request the Benjamin Parry case files.
10:20So, the search back then wasn't led by the St. Marie team?
10:23As it was, the Guadalupe Coast Guard, who was first contacted when the empty boat was discovered, they stayed there
10:31clean.
10:33I bet that rankled.
10:34I did push for us to have a role, but the senior investigating officer wasn't interested.
10:44There's some people on St. Marie who think I should have pressed harder, especially when they ran into a dead
10:52end earlier on.
10:55It's always been felt more could have been done, not by me.
11:05Considering I am already persona non grata, I would like to do my bit to try and solve this case
11:14now and win back the community's trust.
11:18I've located the victim's ex-wife.
11:21She and her partner are staying at a hotel just outside town.
11:32We arrived here two days ago to mark the anniversary of Kara's son's passing.
11:38And I'm sorry to ask, Miss Smart, but your son Benjamin, why did he take the boat out on his
11:45own?
11:46Giles had always been into UFOs and aliens, that kind of thing.
11:52Our holidays were spent visiting Loch Ness or the Bermuda Triangle.
11:57The Luska here on St. Marie.
11:59Ben was getting even more fanatical than his dad.
12:02That's why he snuck out on his own and took the boat we'd hired out for a last ditch sighting
12:09of the Luska.
12:10The weather turned bad.
12:12The sea was rough.
12:14He never came back.
12:20I kept hoping they'd find him alive with a life jacket on, just floating somewhere.
12:25But as time passed, you have to accept that he's not coming back.
12:31So you returned home to England?
12:34After ten months, Giles and I were arguing nonstop by then.
12:38I just needed some space, some time to process it all.
12:44Whereas he...
12:48Giles was convinced the Luska took their son.
12:52He became obsessed.
12:53That's why he stayed on here when I left.
12:56To try and prove the Luska exists.
12:59And he really, truly believed in it.
13:05And yesterday, did you see Giles at all?
13:09We had an early dinner at five.
13:11It's great to finally meet you, Giles.
13:13And how was that?
13:14How was Giles then?
13:16It was fine.
13:17You know, quiet.
13:19Giles was Giles still as delusional as he ever was.
13:23Did Giles ever own a gun at all?
13:26Not like we were together.
13:28And I struggled to believe he bought one while he was out here.
13:32What exactly happened to Giles?
13:34You said that he was found dead at sea.
13:36I assumed it was an accident.
13:38But is there more to it than that?
13:41Well, we're not sure yet.
13:43We're still working on that one.
13:54Hey, my friend's dad swears he saw the Luska one time.
13:57Okay, Seth, come on.
13:59It's never the same afterwards.
14:02Let's keep our focus on the keys.
14:31Auntie Vondra.
14:32I mean, Vondra.
14:40Vondra, Vondra, it's all right.
14:42She's back at my place.
14:43She's safe.
14:43Thanks.
14:44Okay, look, I'll call you back in a bit.
14:47Mo?
14:49Hey, Uncle Mo.
14:51Pop you hungry?
14:52I ordered lots.
14:54Which reminds me,
14:55I borrowed your credit card this morning.
14:57Needed it to pay for the boat to get back to St Marie.
14:59And dinner.
15:01You really are your father's daughter, aren't you?
15:03I know, right?
15:04What's going on, Eloise?
15:06Why are you back here?
15:09Because...
15:09We need to talk...
15:11About Dad.
15:12We could have done that this morning.
15:14Why didn't you mention it then?
15:15I was waiting for the right moment.
15:17And before I know it,
15:19you're shoving me on her boat back home.
15:23All right.
15:24What about your dad?
15:27We need to work out a plan, Uncle Merv.
15:29A plan for what?
15:30To get him out of prison.
15:32To find evidence that proves he's innocent.
15:36Okay, um...
15:37What exactly did your dad tell you
15:40about him being arrested?
15:41Just that he was set up
15:42and shouldn't be in jail.
15:45That it's a miscarriage...
15:48A miscarriage of justice.
15:51So,
15:52we need to help him.
15:53Right?
15:57Why don't you go and get some plates and cutlery, yeah?
16:00I don't know.
16:07Sol, you...
16:09Idiots.
16:29Solomon clearly hasn't told her about the scam he got caught up in, that he's as good
16:33as shot someone and held me hostage.
16:38He's dressed it up like he was the victim, and she obviously idolizes him.
16:44What are you going to do?
16:46I should just tell her the truth, right?
16:50Just tell her in a nice way, not in a your kind of way.
16:57What is it my kind of way?
16:59You know, sometimes you can be a tiny bit insensitive.
17:04Insensitive?
17:07Me insensitive?
17:08That is rubbish.
17:09I mean, if anything, it's everyone else who is too sensitive.
17:13Sure, that's totally what it is.
17:19Hey, Louise.
17:22Right, erm, I'm off to work now.
17:26So we can have dinner later, yeah?
17:29And we'll, erm, we'll talk.
17:33OK, Uncle Mark.
17:37Old school.
17:38I like it.
17:44Right, where we at with the case?
17:47Anything from the lab yet?
17:50Postmortem's estimating time of death between 7.30 and 8pm.
17:53So, the victim leaves the harbour at 7pm, dies between 7.30 and 8pm out at sea, just after
18:02he drops anchor.
18:04And cause of death was internal bleeding due to a ruptured spleen, which in theory could
18:11have been caused by something gripping him tightly like the tentacles of the Lusk.
18:18Or, more likely, something else.
18:23Same with the red markings, kinda like friction burns.
18:27But there's nothing at the scene to suggest what might have caused it.
18:31What about the search at the victim's house?
18:33Er, Mattia and Seb are just starting.
18:51Sarge, you have to see this, ten-year-old Seb will be losing his mind right now.
18:58Like sea monster central in here.
19:04This is gonna be the best search ever.
19:06Alright, officer rules.
19:08You start on the computer, I'll hit the cabinets.
19:10Ah, cool.
19:18You alright, Sarge?
19:20Yeah.
19:21It's just my old boss from Jamaica, I'll call him once we're done with this.
19:24Alright.
19:35So, what do we know about our victim?
19:36Giles Parry worked as a paramedic back in the UK until he moved out here seven years
19:42ago, spent all his savings buying a boat and earned a small income giving talks about the
19:48legend of the Luska.
19:49What about these two?
19:50Any sniff of a motive yet?
19:51We're still waiting on Mr Lyons' background and financial checks, but he and Cara have
19:57been together just over a year, met on a dating app.
19:59Now, as he only met the victim for the first time yesterday, I'm struggling to find a reason
20:05for him wanting Mr Parry dead, but she's a different story.
20:09Miss Smart previously worked as a teacher before giving that up to write a book a few years
20:14ago.
20:15A memoir about losing her son.
20:18I skim read it and she's very honest about how hurt and angry she felt about Giles' behaviour.
20:25When I needed my husband's love the most, he disappeared down the rabbit hole of fantasy,
20:30casting me aside for his futile belief in a mythical beast.
20:35I mean, the guy had gone full on Looney Tunes, didn't he?
20:38What was that you said earlier about not being insensitive?
20:43Look, I'm not...
20:43Where it gets interesting is the book's no longer bringing in any money.
20:47She's basically broke.
20:49I spoke to her literary agent in the UK and apparently a US TV production company has
20:55offered to make a documentary about her and Giles' son going missing.
20:59It's worth a quarter of a million dollars.
21:03Oh, I'm sensing a but.
21:05It going ahead was dependent on Mr Parry agreeing to appear in the documentary too.
21:12Don't tell me.
21:13He didn't want to.
21:20So we spoke to the staff here.
21:22Well, that dinner you had with Giles, it wasn't as sedate as you said it was.
21:27According to them, you got quite worked up, Miss Smart.
21:30Angry that your ex-husband was refusing to agree to the documentary.
21:35Well, that's an exaggeration if ever I heard one.
21:37No, it's not. It's the truth.
21:39Giles, please, I need this.
21:40Why are you being so stubborn?
21:42Because I know what they'll do.
21:44Make me have to look like some mad conspiracy theorist.
21:46I hate you, Charles, so much.
21:51I didn't just lose a son seven years ago.
21:54I lost my husband as well.
21:56He never once thought of me that maybe he needed to be there for me.
22:02And even now, years later, I ask for his help because,
22:05yes, I need the money.
22:07I thought at least he owed me that one favour, but no, not even that.
22:13Thing is, Miss Smart, we checked with the production company,
22:15and that documentary's officially got the go-ahead.
22:18So now with Giles dying in suspicious circumstances,
22:21and even the locals saying it was the Lusker that did it,
22:24well, it's an even more tantalising proposition than it was before.
22:26You get exactly what you wanted.
22:28No, you're wrong.
22:29I didn't kill Giles to get some documentary made.
22:33I'm not that desperate.
22:36I'll visit this.
22:39So you want to tell me where you were two nights ago between 7.30 and 8?
22:43We were here at the hotel.
22:46We were together in our room.
22:50It wasn't me. It just wasn't.
22:54Sir.
23:00That was my tissues with the commissioner.
23:02They've got something.
23:12This is the closest I've come to actually seeing it.
23:15The Lusker.
23:16I'm still shaking from what happened.
23:19If ever there was proof she's out there, this is it.
23:22I've moored my boat a few miles out.
23:23The coordinates are 16 degrees, 32 minutes, 29.8 seconds north.
23:2961 degrees, 55 minutes, 0.1.8 seconds west.
23:32There's a sinkhole on the seabed there I had previously identified as a possible home for the creature.
23:37Amazing.
23:38It was just getting dark.
23:40I heard it.
23:41I felt it.
23:42A thud as it hit the bow of the boat.
23:44And again, and then again, I could hear it dragging itself along as it tried to pull away.
23:49It was her.
23:50I know it was.
23:52The Lusker.
23:54I'm going to go back again tonight.
23:57Totally amazing.
24:04Just to confirm, no one here actually thinks it was the Lusker that was underneath Giles Parry's boat.
24:11Well, I'm not ruling it out, Inspector.
24:13Apart from Officer Rose.
24:15No, of course we don't.
24:16But there is more to it.
24:19Giles Parry uploaded this vlog to his website two days before his death.
24:23We checked his GPS and he went back to the same exact location the next night, here.
24:31And this isn't the same location Giles' body was found?
24:35Where his son Benjamin went missing?
24:37No, that was two miles away here.
24:39But the thing is, when Giles got back, he deleted this video straight away.
24:44So why?
24:45Catherine spoke to him shortly after.
24:48And he seemed troubled.
24:51Everything all right, Giles?
24:55He asked me about the Commissioner.
24:57Knew I was friends with him and said he might need to speak with him.
25:02Is it to do with Benjamin's disappearance?
25:06I don't know.
25:07Maybe.
25:16Hang on, these are the same coordinates he talked about in his vlog.
25:19I don't know what happened there, but it's clearly of significance.
25:25We should go out there, do a reenactment, yeah?
25:29Same time, same place, same boat.
25:31Find out what this X is all about.
25:33I was so hoping he was going to say that, Inspector.
25:36I can't believe you're going on a monster hunt.
25:39That's not what we're doing.
25:40That's not what you're doing.
25:49I don't understand.
25:51If you're going on a boat trip, why can't I come?
25:54Because it might be dangerous.
25:56Well, then I really want to come.
25:58Well, you can't.
25:59You're staying with Catherine tonight,
26:00and we're getting you home first thing in the morning, all right?
26:03But we need to talk about Dad still.
26:09Okay.
26:11Look, about your Dad.
26:12I don't know what he told you, but it certainly wasn't factual.
26:16What he was arrested for, it's serious.
26:19And I should know, because I was there when it happened.
26:23What are you saying?
26:26Hey, Louise.
26:29Listen, there was no miscarriage of justice, all right?
26:32He wasn't falsely accused.
26:34Your Dad is guilty.
26:36So, no, I can't help you find new evidence.
26:40And he'll be in prison for a while.
26:43I'm sorry.
26:46So, what happens now?
26:47I just go back home in the morning?
26:51Yeah, of course.
26:53I mean, that's where your mum is, right?
26:55And you don't want to stay with me, do you?
26:59Of course I don't.
27:00I've got a life to get on with.
27:03So, what's your problem?
27:06This must be Eloise.
27:09It's nice to meet you.
27:11Hey, thanks for looking after me.
27:14See you all, Mervyn.
27:21So, my chef will cook you anything you want.
27:39Hey, inspector.
27:41Ready for me to car stop?
27:42Uh-huh.
27:45You know, sir, this isn't exactly the safest boat I've been on.
27:49The two life rings there are missing their ropes.
27:51So, let's hope no one goes overboard.
28:02Is that the Benjamin Perry case for?
28:05Just arrived from Guadeloupe.
28:07The commissioner's making us start going through a town.
28:31Can I speak to you for a minute about the private master commissioner?
28:41Of course.
28:43I got a couple of missed calls from my old bus in Jamaica today, and I haven't called him back.
28:50Because I think I know what it's to do with.
28:53He phoned me as well, actually.
28:57Damond Dyer was acquitted on all costs.
29:01He's a free man.
29:03I'm sorry.
29:06Have you told any of the team?
29:10Uh, Seb knows I had a boyfriend that I broke up with before I came here, and I told him
29:18that I had messed up on a case, but not that the two were connected, that my ex is a
29:25criminal.
29:28I think I'd rather keep it that way for now.
29:32Nearing the destination now, commissioner. Dropping the anchor soon.
29:36Thank you, officer Rawls.
29:38Aye, aye, captain. Aye, aye.
29:48Must have been frustrating, not having oversight of that case.
30:01Delosco?
30:02It can't be.
30:03Whatever it is, it's the same song Giles Parry heard.
30:10You hear that?
30:12Yeah, we heard it.
30:13Can you see anything?
30:14Nah, no, it's not Delosco.
30:16It's your song like it is.
30:17Can you see anything your side?
30:18No, nothing.
30:19Me neither. Anything now?
30:22Over here, there's something moving.
30:23Where?
30:24Yes, Thomas?
30:25There's something down there. I can see him moving.
30:28Sergeant Fletcher, what are you doing?
30:30That ain't no sea monster.
30:34Matty!
30:47Stupid woman! You cut my ass a pry!
30:50That's Kelvin Mason. He runs a boat excursion business in the harbour.
30:55There's some sort of box under there. It looks like it's time to wait. Stop it moving.
31:14Inspector, here's the box we salvaged from the sea.
31:19Your gun. We found on your jet scheme, Mr. Mason.
31:26Your keys. Let's see if one of these fits, shall we?
31:33Your box.
31:45Cocaine, I'm guessing. Around two kilos. You'll be charged for this.
31:54Look, I'm just a middle man, all right? I don't sell it. I don't buy it. I just make some
31:59extra money moving it from A to B.
32:01Giles Parry was on to you, wasn't he? At first, he thought it was the Luska making those noises beneath
32:07his boat.
32:11I didn't know he'd moored above me. Couldn't stop myself from hitting it when I came back up. That's what
32:16he heard. Me banging against the bottom of his boat.
32:19And when he went to the same location a second time to try and catch sight of it...
32:24Sir, the Luska. I'm going to go back again tonight.
32:27He discovered what you were up to. That's why he was talking about going to the police.
32:32Said he might need to speak with him.
32:35I didn't know he'd seen me. When I went back to the harbour...
32:39I know what you're up to, Kelvin.
32:41I pleaded with him not to say anything to the police. Got to know Giles quite a bit over the
32:47years.
32:48Helped him with his research a couple of times, so I thought he might give me a chance.
32:53And?
32:54He told me he'd think about it, but didn't reckon he could ignore it.
33:01And next thing he's found floating six miles out at sea, dead.
33:04I didn't do that to him, I swear.
33:07He's kind of yours. What calibre is it?
33:10It's a nine millimetre. Why?
33:12Because he found a nine millimetre bullet on Giles Perry's boat.
33:15Is that a coincidence, Mr Mason?
33:17Yes, it is. I wasn't anywhere near his boat when he died.
33:21Mr Mason, you were questioned seven years ago when Giles' son disappeared as a witness.
33:28Everybody around the harbour was. Was that got to do with anything?
33:31So, that also is just a coincidence?
33:36Yes, it is.
33:38Look, if it wasn't you, then where were you at 7.30 the night Giles Perry was murdered?
33:43Um, I was taking a drink with a guy who works for me.
33:47Um, a fella named Jackson.
33:50You fancy another?
33:51Call him, ask him, he'll tell you. I swear.
33:58But, there's something else you all need to know.
34:01Something that happened before Giles took his boat out.
34:05Poor guy.
34:07I went to speak with him to see if he changed his mind about talking with the police.
34:13When I turned the corner, he was arguing with someone.
34:18Giles called him Rory.
34:20I know your game, Rory.
34:22Giles said he had evidence of some kind.
34:25I didn't hear what, but he took out this folder and he gave it to him.
34:30Now that the Rory fella, he didn't seem too happy.
34:33Got a bit physical.
34:35He shoved Giles.
34:37Giles fell over and hurt himself.
34:40Then what did you do?
34:41I turned and left.
34:58Right, let's get over to the hotel.
35:00Let's interview our new suspect.
35:07Sir, with respect, shouldn't we just focus on solving the Giles Perry case right now?
35:13This isn't a Cole case investigation, and we've got a new lead now.
35:17I just have this feeling the answer lies right here in front of me.
35:21If only I knew what it was.
35:23Okay.
35:28I admit we argued, Giles and I.
35:31It was more than an argument, Mr Lyons, from what we were told.
35:35Things might have got a bit physical, but what he was saying upset me.
35:40Which was what exactly?
35:41That I was only with Cara for her money.
35:46Rory only told me about this last night.
35:49Giles had unscrabbled together enough money to pay a private investigator to look into Rory and his ex.
35:57That's what he found.
36:01So your previous partner invested in your business, which went bankrupt.
36:09She's still chasing you for money?
36:11It was a total mess I made. Financially and personally.
36:17Everything in that file, it's all true.
36:20Apart from the suggestion that I'm doing the same again with Cara, because I'm not.
36:24I think that's why Giles wouldn't agree to the documentary.
36:27He thought that Rory would take the money.
36:29But I don't want a penny. I just want to be with Cara.
36:34So why did you follow Mr Perry then to the harbour after dinner?
36:38Because he was being so unforgiving towards Cara.
36:41Saying that she was using their son's tragedy to line her own pockets.
36:44I wanted him to know the truth.
36:51We're adopting a baby.
36:53Starting a family.
36:55And it's taken all the courage in the world for her to do this.
36:58And you told him?
37:06All Cara wants is to be a family.
37:13I think it threw him.
37:15Then he picked up his things and got on his boat.
37:18And that's the last time you saw him?
37:23Mr Lyons?
37:24Rory?
37:27He phoned me when I got back to the hotel about half an hour later.
37:33He was out at sea.
37:35What did he say?
37:38He asked if I loved Cara.
37:41Like he needed to get it confirmed.
37:45And you said?
37:49Yes, I do.
37:50So very much.
37:57Then he just hung up.
37:59Then he just hung up.
38:17So a few minutes before he dies, Giles Parry phones his ex-wife's new partner to ask if he loves
38:23her.
38:24That doesn't sound like he was being attacked by a sea monster or murdered.
38:28Nope.
38:29It sounds to me like a guy who'd finally made his peace with the world.
38:33Which kind of makes me wonder, you know.
38:37Did Giles Parry take his own life?
38:39But then try to make it look like it was the Lusker that did it to prove to everyone that
38:44it was right all along.
38:46That doesn't feel right.
38:48Anyway, that doesn't explain the bullet.
38:50Why was that there?
38:51So what happened?
38:53He was alone on that boat, six miles out at sea, and our three suspects were all on dry land
38:59when he died.
39:00How and why did he end up dead?
39:05Maybe these two have the answer.
39:09Just come straight from the lab.
39:11Please tell me it's good news.
39:13There are no striation marks on the bullet.
39:16So they can't match it to Kelvin Mason's gun. Same make, same calibre, but...
39:21Hang on. No striation marks at all?
39:23Said they've been worn a wave by incrustation of marine organisms.
39:29Corrosion patterns suggest that bullet has been on the seabed for six to eight years.
39:34Basically, they're just saying the bullet is some sea debris.
39:36But that doesn't explain how we ended up on the boat in the first place.
39:47Did Giles Pyro take his own life?
39:49The two liferings there are missing their ropes.
39:52Giles Pyro worked as a paramedic back in the UK until he moved out here seven years ago.
39:57Not that the Rory fella, he didn't seem too happy.
40:00Got a bit physical.
40:02Is it to do with Benjamin's disappearance?
40:05I don't know.
40:06He asked if I loved Kara.
40:09Bingo.
40:10Bingo.
40:10I know what happened to Giles.
40:12And how he ended up dead like that.
40:28Sir, we cracked the case.
40:31Benjamin Parry's disappearance.
40:33I think I know what happened.
40:39Spot the difference.
41:01We have a lot to thank this little bullet for.
41:03Well, it's helped us make sense of the present and the past.
41:08In the present, it's what solved the mystery of your ex-husband's death, Miss Smart.
41:13Leading me to finally understand why and how Giles Parry's body was found dead in the water,
41:19looking like the Lusker, the legendary sea monster he'd spent seven years searching for,
41:25had finally caught up with him.
41:26And in terms of the past?
41:29We'll come to that shortly.
41:31Throughout this case, we've worked on the basis that whatever happened to Mr. Parry,
41:36it all happened at the same time while he was out at sea.
41:41But we've now realised that his injuries were actually sustained in two separate locations.
41:48The first injury, the bruising to his stomach and the rupturing of his spleen,
41:53that happened on dry land, down by the harbour, when you and he tussled, Rory.
42:00You're saying it was me?
42:02You will be charged with involuntary manslaughter.
42:05We know you didn't mean to kill Giles. Far from it.
42:09However, his subsequent fall from your push caused a serious internal injury.
42:17He just didn't know it at the time.
42:20Oh, my God.
42:22Giles was totally unaware that his life was slipping away.
42:25That's why he walked away from you, got on his boat and went out to sea.
42:31He was probably already a few miles out when he started to feel ill.
42:36Initially, some discomfort in his abdomen, feeling faint, feverish.
42:43But it was only by the time he reached his destination six miles from land that he fully comprehended what
42:51was happening.
42:52We know Giles used to be a paramedic, so it's safe to assume he worked out what was wrong.
43:00I know that he had minutes left to live.
43:04I'm so sorry.
43:06And if his imminent death wasn't a grim enough prospect, Mr. Parry also realised that if his body was found
43:12on deck,
43:13we would start to question how he was fatally injured.
43:16And the post-mortem would more than likely lead back to the altercation he had with you, Mr. Lyons.
43:21And subsequently, some time in prison.
43:24And knowing what you told him about yourself and Kara wanting to start a family,
43:29well, he didn't want to inflict any further suffering on you both.
43:33That's the way he phoned.
43:36And asked Rory if he loved me.
43:38That's why he needed to know, to be sure.
43:42Do you love her?
43:44He could protect you both by making it look like he killed himself.
43:52It was Dias Tomasi who noticed the ropes were missing from the life rings on Giles' boat.
43:57The two life rings there are missing their ropes, so let's hope no one goes overboard.
44:02I didn't think anything of it at first.
44:04But then when I started to understand what happened that day,
44:08that's when I realized why those ropes weren't there.
44:16And hopefully this call will confirm it.
44:20Yeah.
44:21They found the ropes tied to the boat's spare battery on the seabed.
44:24Okay.
44:26Thank you, Sergeant Fletcher.
44:30So, we think Giles knew that if he tied those ropes around his body tightly enough,
44:36then leave red markings.
44:38Friction burns.
44:39And therefore, when his body was found,
44:41he hoped this would also explain his internal injuries.
44:45The bruising.
44:46All so it would misdirect from you, Mr. Lyons.
44:51Any similarities to the Luska was a coincidence.
44:54If that's what happened, why was his body found floating on the surface?
44:58Because of this.
45:02As Giles sank to the seabed,
45:05by some quirk of fate,
45:07he saw this bullet.
45:09Maybe it got caught under a rock
45:12or wedged in some coral.
45:15We can't be sure.
45:17But there it was.
45:18A single bullet
45:21in the same spot his son went missing.
45:25And after his recent discovery of the smuggling
45:27that was going on out at sea,
45:29not far from the same spot,
45:31Giles was already beginning to suspect
45:33that his son's, your son's disappearance
45:35might have been for more sinister reasons.
45:37Is it to do with Benjamin's disappearance?
45:41Maybe.
45:43So we believe he loosened the rope,
45:46grabbed the bullet,
45:47and allowed himself to float to the surface,
45:50determined to cling to life as long as possible.
45:55But by then,
45:56it was already too late for him to climb back on board his boat.
45:59So with his life ebbing away,
46:02Giles did one last thing.
46:03One final attempt to let everyone know
46:06what he discovered on the seabed.
46:10He threw this bullet onto the deck.
46:13A message from him to us
46:15to not give up on his son.
46:17That maybe
46:19Ben's killer was still out there.
46:22That's what you meant about the bullet
46:23helping with the past.
46:25My son's case.
46:29And has it?
46:38That bullet we found,
46:40it turns out,
46:42it's been sat on the seabed
46:44for the last seven years.
46:46In the exact same location,
46:49Giles and Kara's son went missing.
46:52It was fired from your gun
46:54to kill
46:55Benjamin Parry.
46:58But he drowned at sea.
47:00Why are you no saying he was shot?
47:08This photograph
47:09was taken the day before
47:11Benjamin went missing.
47:14It's of him and his father
47:16outside your office.
47:19And this
47:21was taken by one of the
47:23Guadalupe police officers
47:24the day after
47:26he disappeared.
47:28Your witness statement
47:29is unremarkable
47:31in every way
47:33apart from
47:35this photograph.
47:36I had to get
47:38the magnifying glass out
47:40to really
47:41notice.
47:42But
47:43in this photograph
47:44of Benjamin
47:45and his father,
47:47the wall
47:48behind your desk
47:49is set
47:50farther back
47:51from the window
47:52than it is
47:53in this photograph
47:55of you
47:55where it appears
47:5740 or 50 centimeters
47:59closer to it.
48:01Which
48:02left me wondering
48:03why
48:04less than
48:0548 hours later
48:08your office
48:09had seemingly
48:11shrunk.
48:12The only conclusion
48:14I could draw
48:15was because
48:15a new wall
48:17had been built.
48:19Leaving
48:19Benjamin's body
48:20at sea
48:21would have meant
48:22there was a possibility
48:23he could be found.
48:25And
48:26if he was
48:27then it would be discovered
48:29that he'd been shot.
48:32Whereas
48:33if you hid
48:35his body
48:36and
48:36everybody assumed
48:38he drowned
48:38at sea
48:39then
48:40maybe you'd get
48:41away with it.
48:45But where
48:46to hide it?
48:48We have a team
48:50at your office
48:51as we speak
48:52about to
48:53tear down
48:55that wall.
48:56so
48:57if
48:58I'm wrong
48:58about what's
48:59been hidden
49:00behind it
49:01the last
49:01seven years
49:02you have
49:03nothing
49:03to worry about.
49:05But
49:05if I am right
49:08now is your
49:09chance
49:10to start
49:11talking.
49:23that morning
49:26seven years ago
49:30it was real early
49:34but when I got
49:35back up
49:35with the day's
49:36delivery
49:38he was there
49:39recording me
49:40on his phone
49:42for evidence.
49:44I mean stupid
49:45idiot
49:47why would you
49:47do that?
49:48Because you
49:49left me no choice
49:51I had to act
49:52fast
49:54so I got
49:54the lockbox
49:55which you moved
49:57to a new
49:57location
49:58two miles away
50:00where your
50:01smuggling
50:02continued
50:03until Giles
50:04Parry
50:05discovered
50:06what you
50:06were doing
50:07all these
50:08years
50:08and Benjamin
50:10Parry's
