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.
03:20All right, well, I know.
03:29All right, we'll let her go.
03:57It's just a bad dream.
04:06How have you been?
04:08Just went for a walk. That's all.
04:12Thanks.
04:20We'll let her go.
04:50We'll let her go.
05:10We'll let her go.
05:11Morning, sir. You good?
05:13No, I am not good.
05:16What's wrong?
05:17Turns out I am an uncle.
05:20Yes, Mum.
05:22But I came to visit Uncle Merv anyway.
05:26That's Eloise.
05:27The 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.
05:36Understood?
05:37Okay.
05:38Clearly 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?
05:50Yeah, 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.
06:08Please.
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, and 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 wraps 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?
07:35No, but it's still part of our history.
07:38Part of our culture.
07:40Right.
07:40Well, we can knock that theory on the head as a possible cause of death, all right?
07:43Except there's a little more to it than that, sir.
07:47That's why he's here.
07:51Oh.
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 Sioux.
08:09In 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?
08:26Mm-hmm.
08:28Was he stormy yesterday?
08:30Called the harbour master.
08:32It was come for the last 24 hours.
08:34Do we know what time he left the harbour?
08:36Just before 7 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.
08:45He says there was definitely nobody else on the boat with him.
08:48It's arrived at a final destination half an hour later.
08:51Radar shows no other boat near it at any point.
08:54So what happened to him?
08:56How did he end up dead with all those weird markings on him?
09:00Unless, you know, it was the last guy.
09:06I hate to break it to you, Officer Rose, but sea monsters don't exist.
09:09No, yeah. I know.
09:12But it would be cool if they did do all right.
09:15What's that?
09:24It's a bullet.
09:26Our victim wasn't shot, right?
09:29No.
09:30And there was no gun found on the boat?
09:32Not that I've found so far.
09:38So what is that doing here?
09:48I don't know what happened on that boat.
09:51But the fact that we found this on it means it's suspicious.
09:56I 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,
10:08but he did drink at her bar and he would talk to her.
10:13I'm also going to contact the Guadalupe police
10:16and request the Benjamin Parry case files.
10:20So the search back then wasn't led by the St. Marie team?
10:23As it was, the Guadalupe Coast Guard,
10:26who was first contacted when the empty boat was discovered,
10:29they stayed there clean.
10:33I bet that rankled.
10:34I did push for us to have a role,
10:36but the senior investigating officer wasn't interested.
10:44There's some people on St. Marie
10:47who think I should have pressed harder,
10:50especially when they ran into a dead end earlier on.
10:55It's always been felt more could have been done
10:59than by me.
11:05Considering I am already
11:08persona non grata,
11:10I would like to do my bit
11:12to try and solve this case now
11:14and win back the community's trust.
11:18I've located the victim's ex-wife.
11:21She and her partner are staying at a hotel
11:23just outside Tom.
11:32We arrived here two days ago
11:34to mark the anniversary of Kara's son's passing.
11:38And I'm sorry to ask, Miss Smart,
11:41but your son Benjamin,
11:43why did he take the boat out on his own?
11:47Giles had always been into UFOs and aliens,
11:51that kind of thing.
11:52Our holidays were spent visiting Loch Ness
11:55or the Bermuda Triangle.
11:56The 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
12:05and took the boat we'd hired out
12:07for a last-ditch sighting of the Luska.
12:10The weather turned bad.
12:12The sea was rough.
12:14He never came back.
12:20I kept hoping they'd find him alive
12:23with a life jacket on,
12:24just floating somewhere.
12:26As time passed,
12:27you have to accept that he's not coming back.
12:31So you returned home to England?
12:34After ten months,
12:36Giles and I were arguing non-stop by then.
12:39I just needed some space,
12:41some time to process it all.
12:44Whereas he...
12:48Giles was convinced the Luska took their son.
12:52He became obsessed.
12:54That's why he stayed on here when I left,
12:56to try and prove the Luska exists.
13:00And 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...
13:20Giles...
13:21Still as delusional as he ever was.
13:24Did Giles ever own a gun at all?
13:26Not like we were together.
13:28And I struggled to believe he bought one
13:30while 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
13:55he 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.
14:04Let's keep our focus on the keys.

16:00why don't you go and get some plates and cutlery yeah so you idiot
16:09you idiots
16:29solomon clearly hasn't told her about the scam he got caught up in that he is good as shot someone
16:35and held me hostage he's dressed it up like he was the victim and she obviously idolizes him
16:44what are you going to do i should just tell her the truth right just tell her in a nice
16:52way
16:52not in a your kind of way what is a my kind of way you know sometimes you can be
17:01a tiny bit
17:03insensitive insensitive me insensitive that is rubbish i mean if anything it's everyone else who
17:11is too sensitive sure that's totally what says hello ease right um i'm off to work now so we can
17:27have dinner later yeah and we'll um we'll talk okay uncle mark
17:37old school i like it
17:45right where we at with the case anything from the lab yet
17:49post-mortem's estimating time of death between 7 30 and 8 p.m
17:53so the victim leaves the harbour at 7
17:58dies between 7 30 and 8 out at sea
18:01just after he drops anchor and cause of death was internal bleeding due to a ruptured spleen which
18:09in theory could have been caused by something gripping him tightly like the tentacles of the lust
18:18or more likely something else same with the red markings kind of like friction burns but
18:27there's nothing that they seem to suggest what might have caused it what about the search of the
18:32victim's house mattia and seb are just starting
18:51sarge you have to see this 10 year old seb will be losing his mind right now
18:58like sea monster central in here
19:04this is going to be the best search ever
19:06all right officer rose you start on the computer i'll hit the cabinets
19:10all right cool
19:18you all right sarge
19:20yeah it's just my old boss from jamaica i'll call him once we're done with this
19:34so 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 ago
19:42spent all his savings buying a boat and earned a small income giving talks about the legend of the
19:48luska what about these two any sniff of the motive yet we're still waiting on mr lions's background and
19:55financial checks but he and cara have been 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 for him
20:05wanting mr parry dead but she's a different story miss smart previously worked as a teacher before
20:12giving that up to write a book a few years ago a memoir about losing her son i skim read
20:19it and
20:19she's very honest about how hurt and angry she felt about giles's behavior when i needed my husband's
20:27love the most he disappeared down the rabbit hole of fantasy casting me aside for his futile belief in a
20:33mythical beast i mean the guy had gone full-on looney tune didn't he what was that you said earlier
20:40about not being insensitive look i'm not where it gets interesting is the books no longer bringing
20:46in any money she's basically broke i spoke to her literary agent in the uk and apparently a us tv
20:54production company has offered to make a documentary about her and joss's son going missing it's worth a
21:00quarter of a million dollars oh i'm sensing a butt it going ahead was dependent on mr parry agreeing to
21:10appear in the documentary too don't tell me he didn't want to
21:20so we spoke to the staff here well that dinner you had with giles it wasn't as sedate as you
21:26said it
21:26was according to them you got quite worked up miss smart angry that your ex-husband was refusing to
21:34agree to the documentary well that's an exaggeration if ever i heard one no it's not it's the truth
21:38just please i need this why are you being so stubborn because i know what they'll do make me
21:44have to look like some mad conspiracy theorist i hate you joss so much
21:51i didn't just lose a son seven years ago i lost my husband as well he never once thought of
21:57me
21:58that maybe he needed to be there for me and even now years later i ask for his help because
22:06yes i need the money i thought at least he owed me that one favor but no not even that
22:12thing is
22:13miss smart we checked with the production company and that documentary has officially got the go-ahead
22:18so now with giles dying in suspicious circumstances and even the locals saying it was the lusker that did
22:23it well it's an even more tantalizing proposition than it was before you get exactly what you wanted
22:28no you're wrong i didn't kill charles to get some documentary made i'm not that desperate i visit this
22:39so you want to tell me where you were two nights ago between 7 30 and 8. we were here
22:44at the hotel
22:46we were together in our room it wasn't me it just wasn't
22:54sir
23:00that was my tissues with the commissioner they've got something
23:12this is the closest i've come to actually seeing it the lusker i'm still shaking from what happened
23:19if there was proof she's out there this is it i've moored my boat a few miles out coordinates are
23:2516 degrees 32 minutes 29.8 seconds north 61 degrees 55 minutes 01.8 seconds west there's a sinkhole on
23:33the seabed there i previously identified as a possible home for the creature amazing
23:38it was just getting dark i heard it i felt it a thunt as it hit the bow of the
23:44boat and again and then
23:45again like i could hear it dragging itself along as it tried to pull away it was her i know
23:51it was
23:52the lusker i'm gonna go back again tonight totally 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 apart from officer rose no of course we don't but
24:17there is more to it giles parry uploaded this flood 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's body was found where his son benjamin went missing no that
24:37was two miles away here but the thing is when giles got back he deleted this video straight away
24:44so why catherine spoke to him shortly after and he seemed troubled everything all right giles
24:55he asked me about the commissioner knew i was friend with him and said he might need to speak with
25:02him
25:02is it to do with benjamin's disappearance i don't know maybe
25:19i don't know what happened there but it's clearly of significance
25:25we should go out there do a reenactment yeah same time same place same boat find
25:31out what this x is all about i was so hoping he was gonna say that inspector
25:36i can't believe you're going on a monster hunt that's not what we're doing that's not what you're doing
25:49i don't understand if you're going on a boat trip why can't i come because it might be dangerous
25:56well then i really want to come well you can't you're staying with catherine tonight we're getting
26:01you home first thing in the morning all right but we need to talk about dad still
26:10okay look about your dad i don't know what he told you but it certainly wasn't factual what he was
26:17arrested for it's serious and i should know because i was there when it happened what are you saying
26:26hey louise listen there was no miscarriage of justice all right
26:32he wasn't falsely accused your dad is guilty so no i can't help you find new evidence
26:40and they'll be in prison for a while i'm sorry
26:46so what happens now i just go back home in the morning
26:51yeah of course i mean that's where your mom is right

28:05oh just arrived from guadeloupe the commission is making a start going through it
28:31can i speak to you for a minute about the private master commissioner

29:18i had
29:18messed up on a case but not that the two were connected that my ex is a criminal

31:59extra money
32:00moving it from a to b giles parry was on to you wasn't he at first he thought it was
32:05the losker
32:06making those noises beneath his boat
32:11i didn't know he'd moored above me i couldn't stop myself from hitting it when i came back up
32:15that's what he heard me banging against the bottom of his boat and when he went to the same location
32:21a
32:22second time to try and cut sight of it he discovered what you were up to that's why he was
32:30talking
32:30about going to the police said he might need to speak with him i didn't know he'd seen me when
32:37i
32:37went back to the harbor i know what you're up to kelvin i pleaded with him not to say anything
32:43to the
32:45police got to know jazz quite a bit over the years helped him with his research a couple of
32:49times so i thought he might give me a chance and he told me he'd think about it but didn't
32:59reckon
32:59he could ignore it the next thing he's found floating six miles out at sea dead i didn't do
33:05that to him i swear he's gone of yours what caliber is it it's a nine millimeter why because
33:12he found a nine millimeter bullet on giles parry's boat that coincidence mr mason yes it is i wasn't
33:19anywhere near his boats when he died mr mason you were questioned seven years ago when giles's son
33:26disappeared as a witness everybody around the harbor was was that got to do with anything so that also is
33:34just a coincidence yes it is look if it wasn't you then where were you at 7 30 the night
33:41giles parry was
33:42murdered um i was taking a drink with a guy who works for me a fella named jackson you fancy
33:51another
33:51call him ask him he'll tell you i swear
33:58but there's something else you all need to know something that happened before jazz took his boat out
34:05poor guy i went to speak with him to see if he changed his mind about talking with the police
34:14when i turned the corner he was arguing with someone giles called him rory i know your game
34:22giles said he had evidence of some kind i didn't hear what but he took out this folder and he
34:29gave it to
34:29him now that the rory fella he didn't seem too happy got a bit physical he shoved giles giles fell
34:38over and hurt
34:38himself then what did you do i turned and left
34:58right let's get over to the hotel let's interview our new suspect
35:07sir with respect shouldn't we just focus on solving the giles perry case right now this
35:13isn't a cold case investigation and we've got a new lead now i just have this feeling the answer lies
35:19right here in front of me if only i knew what it was okay
35:28i admit we argued giles and i it was more than an argument mr lions from what we were told
35:35things might
35:36have got a bit physical but what he was saying upset me which was what exactly that i was only
35:42with cara
35:42for her money rory only told me about this last night giles had scrabbled together enough money to
35:52pay a private investigator to look into rory and his ex that's what he found
36:01so your previous partner invested in your business which went bankrupt
36:09she's still chasing you for money it was a total mess i made financially and personally
36:17everything in that file it's all true apart from the suggestion that i'm doing the same again with
36:23cara because i'm not i think that's why giles wouldn't agree to the documentary he thought that
36:28rory would take the money but i don't i don't want a penny i just want to be with cara
36:34so why did you follow mr perry down to the harbor after dinner because he was being so unforgiving
36:39towards cara saying that she was using their son's tragedy to line her own pockets i wanted him to
36:45know the truth we're adopting a baby starting a family and it's taken all the courage in the world for
36:57to do this and you told him all cara wants is to be a family
37:14i think it threw him then he picked up his things and got on his boat and that's the last
37:20time you saw
37:20him mr lions rory he phoned me when i got back to the hotel about half an hour later he
37:34was out at sea
37:35what did he say he asked if i loved cara like he needed to get it confirmed and you said
37:49yes i do so very much
37:57then 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
38:23loves her that doesn't sound like he was being attacked by a sea monster or murdered nope it
38:29sounds to me like a guy who'd finally made his peace with the world which kind of makes me wonder
38:35you know did giles parry take his own life but then try to make it look like it was the
38:41lusker that did it to prove to everyone that he was right all along that doesn't feel right anyway
38:48that doesn't explain the bullet why was that there so what happened he was alone on that boat six miles
38:56out at sea and our three suspects were all on dry land when he died how and why did he
39:03end up dead
39:05maybe these two have the answer just come straight from the lab please tell me it's good news there are
39:13no striation marks on the bullet so they can't match it to kelvin mason's gone same make same caliber but
39:20hang on no striation marks at all said 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 basically they're
39:35just saying the bullet is some sea debris but that doesn't explain how we ended up on the boat in
39:39the
39:39first place
39:47did giles parry take his own life the two liferings there are missing their ropes giles par worked as a
39:53paramedic back in the uk until he moved out here seven years ago now that the rory fella he didn't
39:59seem too happy got a bit physical is it to do with benjamin's disappearance i don't know he asked if
40:07i
40:07loved car bingo i know what happened to jars and how he ended up dead like that
40:23i don't know what happened to jars and how he ended up dead like that
40:29sir we crack the case benjamin parry's disappearance i think i know what happened
40:39spot the difference
41:01we have a lot to thank this little bullet for it's helped us make sense of the present and the
41:07past
41:08in the present it's what solved the mystery of your ex-husband's death miss smart leading me to
41:14finally understand why and how giles parry's body was found dead in the water looking like the lusker the
41:21legendary sea monster he'd spent seven years searching for had finally caught up with him and in
41:27terms of the past we'll come to that surely throughout this case we've worked on the basis that whatever
41:35happened to mr parry it all happened at the same time while he was out at sea but we've now
41:42realized
41:43that his injuries were actually sustained in two separate locations the first injury the bruising to
41:51his stomach and the rupturing of his spleen that happened on dry land down by the harbor when you and
41:58he tussled roy you're saying it was me you will be charged with involuntary manslaughter we know you
42:06didn't mean to kill giles far from it however his subsequent fall from your push caused a serious internal
42:15injury he just didn't know it at the time oh my god giles was totally unaware that his life was
42:25slipping
42:25away that's why he walked away from you got on his boat and went out to sea he was probably
42:33already a
42:34few miles out when he started to feel ill initially some discomforts in his abdomen feeling faint feverish
42:43but it was only by the time he reached his destination six miles from lands that he fully
42:50comprehended what was happening we know giles used to be a paramedic so it's safe to assume he worked
42:59out what was wrong that he had minutes left to live i'm so sorry and if his imminent death wasn't
43:08a
43:08grim enough prospect mr parry also realized that if his body was found on deck we would start to question
43:14how he was fatally injured and the post-mortem would more than likely lead back to the altercation
43:20he had with you mr lions and subsequently sometime in prison and knowing what you told him about
43:26yourself and cara wanting to start a family well he didn't want to inflict any further suffering on
43:33you both that's why he phoned and asked warry if he loved me that's why he needed to know
43:40to be sure do you love her he could protect you both by making it look like he killed himself
43:52it was deus thomasi who noticed the ropes were missing from the life rings on giles's boat
43:57the two life rings there are missing their ropes so let's hope no one goes overboard i didn't think
44:03anything of it at first but then when i started to understand what happened that day that's when i
44:09realized why those ropes weren't there and hopefully this call will confirm it
44:20yeah they found the ropes tied to the boat spare battery on the seabed
44:25okay thank you sergeant fletcher
44:30so we think giles knew that if he tied those ropes around his body tightly enough then leave red
44:37markings friction burn and therefore when his body was found he hoped this would also explain
44:43his internal injuries the bruising all so it would misdirect from you mr lions
44:51any similarities to the luska was a coincidence if that's what happened why was his body found floating
44:57on the surface because of this as giles sank to the seabed by some quirk of fate he saw this
45:08bullet
45:09maybe it got caught under a rock or wedged in some coral we can't be sure but there it was
45:18a single bullet in the same spot his son went missing and after his recent discovery of the smuggling
45:27that was going on out at sea not far from the same spot
45:31giles is already beginning to suspect that his son's your son's disappearance might have been for
45:36more sinister reasons is it to do with benjamin's disappearance maybe so we believe
45:44he loosened the rope grabbed the bullet and allowed himself to float to the surface determined to cling
45:52to life as long as possible but by then it was already too late for him to climb back on
45:58board his
45:59boat so with his life ebbing away giles did one last thing one final attempt to let everyone know what
46:06he discovered on the seabed he threw this bullet onto the deck a message from him to us to not
46:16give
46:16up on his son that maybe ben's killer was still out there that's what you meant about the bullet helping
46:37that bullet we found it turns out it's been sat on the seabed for the last seven years in the
46:47exact
46:47same location giles and kara's son went missing it was fired from your gun to kill benjamin parry
46:58but he drowned at sea what why you know saying he was shot
47:08this photograph was taken the day before benjamin went missing
47:14it's of him and his father outside your office and this was taken by one of the guadalupe police
47:24officers the day after he disappeared your witness statement is unremarkable in every way apart from
47:35this photograph i had to get the magnifying glass out to really notice but in this photograph
47:44of benjamin and his father the wall behind your desk is set farther back from the window than it is
47:53in this
47:54photograph of you where it appears 40 or 50 centimeters closer to it which left me wondering why
48:04less than 48 hours later your office had seemingly shrunk the only conclusion i could draw was because
48:15a new wall had been built leaving benjamin's body at sea would have meant there was a possibility
48:23he could be found and if he was then it would be discovered that he'd been shot
48:33whereas if you hid his body and everybody assumed he drowned at sea then maybe you'd get away with it
48:45but where to hide it we have a team at your office as we speak about to tear down that
48:55wall so
48:57if i'm wrong about what's been hidden behind it the last seven years you have nothing to worry about
49:04but if i am right now is your chance to start talking
49:24that morning
49:25that morning
49:27i am right now is your friend seven years ago
49:30it was real early
49:33but when i got back up with the day's delivery
49:38he was there recording me on his phone for evidence i mean stupid idiot
49:47why would you do that because you left me no choice
49:51i had to act fast so i got the lockbox which you moved to a new location two miles away
50:00where your smuggling continued
50:04until giles parry discovered what you were doing all these years and benjamin parry's body
50:15i took it ashore
50:20i put him in one of the cases we stole the diving gear
50:25it's airtight so i spent the whole day getting everything i needed for that wall
50:34i spent the whole night building it
50:37and i have lived with it every day since
50:42mind how you go and y'all let me know how it went huh you're with real pirate royalty now
50:47huh
50:48knowing that poor boy is stuck behind that wall will haunt me forever
51:00i don't know how it is
51:01galvin mason i'm arresting you for the murder of benjamin parry
51:05you do not have to say anything but it may harm your defense if you do not mention my question
51:19this call is from a person currently in prison in antiga
51:26solomon
51:27mervyn
51:27no i know you said you didn't want anything to do with me no more but this isn't about me
51:31it's about eloise
51:33i know she ran away from her aunt and came to you because she doesn't like it dear
51:36no it's because you told her you were innocent and i'd get you out you lied to her maybe i
51:42was a
51:42bit free and easy with the truth but she's there because she needs you she doesn't even know me
51:47she does a bit i told her some things that you were a good man
51:56solomon i i can't
51:59i know i'm not i have made a mess of pretty much everything in my life but that's why i'm
52:05asking
52:05this one thing this one fear of her her mom and aunt are cool but she's her dad's girl you
52:13know
52:14me and her is something special and her stupid father's got himself stuck in prison so
52:22what she really needs her uncle in her life right now because you're the closest thing she's got to me
52:38so that's the queen she's the one to keep her eye on all you have to do is find the
52:45lady
52:52the queen she's the one one um hmm this one
53:02wrong again was here all along
53:23I've had people arrested in Covent Garden for that, you know.
53:26Your dad taught you, I assume.
53:31Look, I'm...
53:33I'm not good at this kind of thing, OK?
53:36Maybe cos I've never been an uncle before.
53:42What I'm trying to tell you...
53:43You don't know what you're doing.
53:47When you haven't had a proper family in your life,
53:51like I haven't,
53:53you kind of grow up assuming people don't want you or need you.
53:59But when you came to me, I should have been there for you,
54:01and I'm sorry that I wasn't.
54:05But if you're up for giving your Uncle Merv a second chance,
54:09then maybe we can try again,
54:13and I can get to know my needs properly,
54:15because however it might have looked,
54:19I would really, really like that.
54:23You want a shake on it?
54:25We can do better than that.
54:29After all this time,
54:31I'd given up any hope of my son's body being returned to me.
54:34So to stand here knowing my boy will be returned home to England,
54:41It means the world to me.
54:43So I'd like to thank the St. Marie Police Force
54:47for all their hard work in achieving this.
54:50It's a divert from the station.
54:52When all hope is lost,
54:54and it seems like you might never get the answer...
54:57Yeah.
54:59But I'd especially like to thank
55:02Commissioner Selwyn Patterson
55:04for uncovering a truth that no-one else was able to.
55:08I will be forever grateful.
55:17Really?
55:17What's good, man?
55:18It's for you.
55:20You're the man.
55:32So that diverged.
55:33It's for you.
55:34Some guy named Damon?
55:36I mean, set to give him a card when he got the charm.
55:59I'm going to go eat, Inspector, Sarge, Inspector's niece.
56:03Catherine invited us all.
56:05It feels like there's a lot to celebrate.
56:07And you can build up a hunger when you're hunting sea monsters, you know?
56:11Sea monsters?
56:12You didn't tell me we're hunting sea monsters.
56:14That's because we weren't.
56:16Well, not all of us anyway.
56:18Alright, Eloise, this is Commissioner Patterson, my boss.
56:21It's a pleasure to meet you.
56:24You too.
56:25Right, let's go. Come on.
56:26You like playing card games, Commissioner Patterson?
56:29Alright, let's not start going down that road, young lady.
56:32The man speak for himself.
56:33As it happens, I do like playing cards.
56:36Yeah, but not the kind of card she wants to play.
56:39Honestly, Commissioner.
56:39In fact, everyone, do not play cards with this girl.
56:42Uncle Mo!
56:51Was she just trying to hustle the Commissioner?
56:54Yeah.
56:56Welcome to my family.
57:20Death in Paradise will return.
57:23Who's watching who and who can be trusted?
57:26That's the question.
57:27in the new series of The Capture.
57:29Watch now on iPlayer.
57:31Here on BBC One, joining Claudia later,
