00:00Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you the Luska.
00:05This giant cephalopod-like sea creature, half octopus, half shark, is, many believe, the stuff of fantasy.
00:14The kind of fictional monster Jules Verne might dream up.
00:18But then, there are those more open-minded souls, like myself, who believe this gigantic cryptid to be as real
00:26as you or I.
00:27I will present to you the evidence I have collated, proving this animal is no mere figment of the imagination.
00:33And it all begins with the first sighting, off the coast of St. Marie in 1823, by this man.
00:42A pirate by the name of Pierre Lafitte.
00:52Pierre Lafitte was my great-great-great-grandfather.
00:56I'll tell you no lies.
00:58Still got the journal he had when he was pirating away.
01:01Passed on from generation to generation.
01:04And that's why this is the only boat trip where you can experience the exact place my ancestor witnessed.
01:12The Luska.
01:14Roll up, roll up!
01:16You know you want to.
01:17And I promise you guys, you will not be disappointed.
01:22So, how was it?
01:24You're a believer now.
01:26To be honest, I think I'm even less of a believer than I was before.
01:32I don't know why you're bothered.
01:34Because I want to be prepared.
01:37I'm afraid nothing can prepare you for my ex-husband.
01:45Either that's him, or we've come to a soup kitchen by mistake.
01:53Hello, Giles.
01:55Cara.
01:56It's been a while, hasn't it?
01:58Oh!
02:00Er...
02:07This is Rory.
02:10Ah, yes.
02:11Didn't realise you were bringing him.
02:14Nice to meet you, Rory.
02:16It's great to finally meet you, Giles.
02:18Can't wait to hear all your stories about the Luska.
02:20Absolutely fascinated about it.
02:22Ah.
02:24Um, would you like a glass of wine?
02:26Just a cup of coffee will do me, ta.
02:28Um, let me see if I can find a waiter.
02:32Sit down.
02:39So, how are you?
02:41I mean, you know, the...
02:43the anniversary.
02:45Feels strange to be back.
02:48Like it was only yesterday.
02:51I'm taking the boat out later, to where it happened.
02:55If you fancy joining, you remember him together.
02:57No, I'd rather stay here.
02:59With Rory.
03:13Come on.
03:19Poor guy.
03:29All right, we'll let her.
03:57It's just a bad dream.
04:06How have you been?
04:08Just went for a walk.
04:09That's all.
04:12Thanks.
04:14Bye.
04:16Oh, my God.
05:14Oh, my God.
05:16What's wrong?
05:17Turns out I am an uncle.
05:20Yes, Mum.
05:21I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
05:23What's I came to visit Uncle Merv anyway?
05:26That's Eloise.
05:27The niece I didn't know I had.
05:29So you're her Uncle Merv.
05:31No, I'm not.
05:33I mean, yes, I am her uncle, but not Merv.
05:35Never Merv, understood?
05:37Okay.
05:37Clearly touched a nerve there.
05:41Well, I kind of miss him.
05:42So she's Solomon's daughter?
05:44I don't know why he couldn't just tell me that in the first place.
05:46He could have just said, well, as it happens, I do have a daughter.
05:49Are he and her mother together?
05:51Yeah, not for some time, apparently.
05:52She's supposed to be staying with her Auntie Vondra.
05:55Well, she doesn't like it there, so she ran away and came here.
05:59They've got a case, I assume.
06:01Oh, my God.
06:02It's not a murder case, is it?
06:05Please let me come on a ride along Uncle Merv.
06:07Please.
06:08Right.
06:09So, firstly, you're not coming on any ride along.
06:12And secondly, it's not Uncle Merv.
06:15It's Mervyn, remember?
06:18Hi.
06:19I'm Naomi, by the way.
06:21I work with your Uncle Merv.
06:25Right.
06:26Go pack your stuff, young lady.
06:27You've got a boat to catch.
06:29I am sending you back home to Antigua.
06:31Whatever you say, Uncle Merv.
06:33And it's not...
06:37I like her.
06:43Victim's name's Giles Parry, 58 years of age.
06:46Body was found floating six miles out at sea.
06:49Sergeant Fletcher's with the Coast Guard now.
06:51A couple of fishermen going out early this morning came across the body.
06:55But paramedics reckon he'd been in the water since last night.
06:59Thing is, this is already causing a stir on the heart.
07:03Why is that?
07:04Because of those marks on his body.
07:07They'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.
07:25Wraps 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?
07:44Except there's a little more to it than that, sir.
07:47That's why he's here.
07:51Oh.
07:55I always wondered whether this would come back to haunt me.
07:59Seven years ago yesterday,
08:02Giles Parry's 16-year-old son, Benjamin,
08:06drowned at sea
08:08in the exact same location
08:11as Giles' body was found this morning.
08:14A local fisherman told me that
08:17Mr. Parry had sailed out to that spot yesterday
08:20to pay his respects.
08:23Then 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 seven o'clock.
08:38According to the GPS.
08:40Also, there's a boat mechanic
08:41who's been fixing Mr. Parry's engine.
08:43He saw him leave.
08:44He says there was definitely nobody else on the boat with him.
08:48It's arrived at a final destination
08:50and 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
08:58weird markings on him?
09:00Unless, you know,
09:03it was the Luska.
09:06I hate to break it to you, Officer Rose,
09:07but sea monsters don't exist.
09:09No, yeah.
09:10I know.
09:12But it'd be cool if they did do all right.
09:15What's that?
09:24It's a bullet.
09:26Our victim wasn't a shock, 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,
09:51but the fact that we found this on it
09:53means it's suspicious.
09:55I think someone else was there, you know?
10:02I'm going to talk to Catherine.
10:04From what I know,
10:06James Parry was an isolated figure,
10:08but he did drink at her bar
10:10and he would talk to her.
10:13I'm also going to contact the Guadalupe police
10:16and request the Benjamin Parry case files.
10:20So the search back then
10:21wasn't led by the St. Marie team?
10:23As it was,
10:25the Guadalupe Coast Guard
10:26who was first contacted
10:27when the empty boat was discovered,
10:29they staked their plane.
10:33I bet that rankled.
10:34I did push for us to have a role,
10:36but the senior investigating officer
10:39wasn't interested.
10:44There's some people on St. Marie
10:47who think I should have pressed harder,
10:50especially when they ran into a dead end earlier on.
10:55It's always been felt
10:56more could have been done
10:59than by me.
11:05Considering I am already
11:08persona non grata,
11:10I would like to do my bit
11:12to try and solve this case now
11:14and win back the community's trust.
11:18I've located the victim's ex-wife.
11:21She and her partner
11:22are staying at a hotel
11:23just outside Tom.
11:32We arrived here two days ago
11:34to mark the anniversary
11:36of Kara's son's passing.
11:38And I'm sorry to ask,
11:40Miss Smart,
11:41but your son Benjamin,
11:43why did he take the boat out
11:44on his own?
11:47Giles had always been into
11:49UFOs and aliens,
11:51that kind of thing.
11:52Our holidays were spent
11:53visiting Loch Ness
11:55or the Bermuda Triangle.
11:56The Losca here on St. Marie.
11:59Ben was getting even more fanatical
12:01than his dad.
12:02That's why he snuck out on his own
12:04and took the boat we'd hired out
12:07for a last-ditch sighting of the Losca.
12:10The weather turned bad.
12:12The sea was rough.
12:14He never came back.
12:19I kept hoping they'd find him alive
12:23with a life jacket on,
12:24just floating somewhere.
12:25As time passed,
12:27you have to accept
12:28that he's not coming back.
12:31So you returned home to England?
12:34After ten months,
12:36Giles and I were arguing
12:37non-stop by then.
12:39I just needed some space,
12:41some time to process it all.
12:44Whereas he...
12:48Giles was convinced
12:50the Losca took their son.
12:52He became obsessed.
12:53That's why he stayed on here
12:55when I left,
12:56to try and prove
12:57the Losca exists.
12:59And he really,
13:01truly believed in it.
13:05And yesterday,
13:06did 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.
13:21Still as delusional
13:22as he ever was.
13:24Did Giles ever own a gun
13:25at all?
13:26Not like we were together.
13:28And I struggled to leave.
13:30He 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 Losca one time.
13:57Okay, Sam.
13:58Come on.
13:59It's never the same afterwards.
14:02Keep our focus on the keys.
14:40Vondra, Vondra, it's all right.
14:42She's back at my place. She's safe.
14:44Thanks.
14:44OK, look, I'll call you back in a bit.
14:49Hey, Uncle Mo.
14:51Hope you're hungry. I ordered lots.
14:54Which reminds me, I borrowed your credit card this morning.
14:57Needed it to pay for the boat to get back to St Marie.
15:00And 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 we need to talk about Dad.
15:12We could have done that this morning.
15:14Why didn't you mention it then?
15:15I was waiting for the right moment.
15:17And before I know it, you're shoving me on 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.
15:36OK.
15:37What exactly did your dad tell you about him being arrested?
15:41Just that he was set up.
15:43And should it be in jail?
15:45That it's a miscarriage?
15:48A miscarriage of justice.
15:51So, we need to help him, right?
15:57Why don't you go and get some plates and cutlery, yeah?
16:06So, you idiots.
16:29Solomon clearly hasn't told her about the scam he got caught up in.
16:32That he has got to shot someone.
16:35And held me hostage.
16:38He's dressed it up like he was the victim.
16:41And she obviously idolizes him.
16:44What are you going to do?
16:45I should just tell her the truth, right?
16:50Just tell her in a nice way.
16:52Not in a your kind of way.
16:57What is a my kind of way?
16:59You know, sometimes you can be a tiny bit insensitive.
17:04Insensitive?
17:06Me, insensitive?
17:08That is rubbish.
17:09I mean, if anything, it's everyone else who is too sensitive.
17:13Sure.
17:14That's totally what it says.
17:18Hey, Louise.
17:22Right, um...
17:24I'm off to work now.
17:26So, we can have dinner later, yeah?
17:29And we'll, um...
17:31We'll talk.
17:33OK, Uncle Mark.
17:36Old 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 8.00 p.m.
17:54So, the victim leaves the harbour at 7.00,
17:59dies between 7.30 and 8.00,
18:00out at sea, just after he drops anchor.
18:04And cause of death was internal bleeding
18:07due to a ruptured spleen,
18:09which, in theory,
18:11could have been caused by something
18:13gripping him tightly,
18:15like the tentacles of the Lusk.
18:18Or, more likely,
18:21something else.
18:23Same with the red markings.
18:25Kind of like friction burns.
18:26But there's nothing at the scene to suggest
18:29what might have caused it.
18:31What about the search at the victim's house?
18:33Mattia and Seb are just starting.
18:49I'm starting.
18:51Sarge!
18:52You have to see this.
18:54Ten-year-old Seb will be losing his mind right now.
18:58Like sea monster central in here.
19:04this is gonna be the best search ever all right so so rules you start on the
19:09computer I'll hit the cabinets cool
19:18you all right Sarge yeah it's just my old bus from Jamaica I'll call him once
19:23we're done with this
19:34so what do we know about our victim Giles Parry worked as a paramedic back in the UK until he
19:41moved out here seven years ago spent all his savings buying a boat and earned a small income
19:46giving talks about the legend of the Luska what about these two any sniff of the motive yet we're
19:52still waiting on mr. Lyons's background and financial checks but he and Cara have been
19:57together just over a year met on a dating app now as he only met the victim for the first
20:02time
20:03yesterday I'm struggling to find a reason for 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 ago a
20:15memoir about losing her son I skim read it and she's very honest about how hurt and angry she felt
20:23about
20:23Giles's behavior when 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 I mean the guy had gone
20:36full-on looney tune didn't he what was that you said earlier about not being insensitive
20:42look I'm not where it gets interesting is the books no longer bringing in any money she's basically broke I
20:49spoke to her
20:50literary agents in the UK and apparently a US TV production company has offered to make a
20:56documentary about her and Jousey's son going missing it's worth a quarter of a million dollars
21:02oh I'm sensing a but it going ahead was dependent on mr. Parry agreeing to appear in the documentary too
21:11don't tell me he didn't want so we spoke to the staff here well that dinner you had with Giles
21:24it
21:25wasn't as sedate as you said it was according to them you got quite worked up miss smart angry that
21:31your ex-husband was refusing to agree to the documentary well that's an exaggeration if ever
21:36I heard one no it's not it's the truth just please I need this why are you being so stubborn
21:42because I know what they'll do make me have to look like some mad conspiracy theorist I hate you
21:47so much I didn't just lose a son seven years ago I lost my husband as well he never once
21:57thought of
21:57me that maybe he needed to be there for me and even now years later I asked for his help
22:04because
22:05yes I need the money I thought at least he owed me that one favor but no not even that
22:12thing is miss
22:13smart we checked with the production company and that documentary has officially got the go-ahead
22:17so now with Giles dying in suspicious circumstances and even the locals saying it was the Luska 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 Giles to get some documentary made I'm not that desperate I visitate 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 we
22:47were together in our room it wasn't me it wasn't sir that was my tissues with the commissioner they've got
23:11something this is the closest I've come to actually seeing it the Luska I'm still shaking from what
23:17happened if ever there was proof she's out there this is it I've moored my boat a few miles out
23:23that coordinates are 16 degrees 32 minutes 29.8 seconds north 61 degrees 55 minutes 0 1.8 seconds west
23:32there's a sinkhole on the seabed there I previously identified as a possible hope for the creature
23:37amazing it was just getting dark I heard it felt it a thud as it hit the bow of the
23:44boat and again and
23:45then again I could hear it dragging itself along as it tried to pull away it was her I know
23:51it was
23:52the Luska I'm gonna go back again tonight totally amazing
24:04just to confirm no one here actually thinks it was the Luska 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 there
24:17is more to it Giles Parry uploaded this vlog to his website two days before his death we checked his
24:24GPS
24:24and he went back to the same exact location the next night here and this isn't the same location
24:33Giles his body was found where his son Benjamin went missing no that was two miles away here but
24:40the thing is when Giles got back he deleted this video straight away so why Catherine spoke to him
24:47shortly after and he seemed troubled everything all right Giles he asked me about the commissioner knew I was
24:58friend with him and said he might need to speak with him is it to do with Benjamin's disappearance I
25:05don't know maybe
25:08hang on these are the same cold and as he talked about in his vlog I don't know what happened
25:20there but
25:21it's clearly of significance we should go out there do a reenactment yeah same time same place same boat find
25:31that what this X is all about I was so hoping he was going to see that inspector I can't
25:37believe
25:37you'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 stand with Catherine tonight we're getting you
26:01home first thing in the morning all right but we need to talk about dad still okay look about your
26:11dad I don't know what he told you but it certainly wasn't factual what he was arrested for it's serious
26:19and I should know because I was there when it happened what are you saying Eloise listen there was
26:30no miscarriage of justice all right it wasn't falsely accused your dad is guilty so no I can't
26:37help you find new evidence no be in prison for a while I'm sorry so what happens now I just
26:48go
26:48back home in the morning yeah of course I mean that's where your mom is right and yeah you don't
26:56understand with me dear course I don't I've got a life to get to move so what's your problem
27:06this must be Eloise it's nice to meet you hey thanks for looking after me see you on Robin
27:21so my chef will cook you anything
27:39hey inspector ready for my car stop
27:45you know sir this isn't exactly the safest boat I've been on the two life rings there are missing
27:51their ropes so let's hope no one goes overboard
28:01is that the Benjamin Perry case for oh just arrived from Guadalupe commissioners making a start going
28:31can I speak to you for a minute about the private master commissioner
28:41of course I got a couple of missed calls for my old bus in Jamaica today and I haven't called
28:49him back
28:50because I think I know what it's to do with he fought me as well actually the more dire was
28:58acquitted on all costs he's a free man
29:04I'm sorry I'm sorry have you told any of the team
29:07have you told any of the team
29:11uh 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
29:21but not that the two were connected then my ex is a criminal
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 Rose
29:38aye aye captain aye aye
29:48must have been frustrating not having oversight of that case
30:00the Oscar it can't be whatever it is it's the same song Giles Barry heard
30:10you hear that yeah we heard it can you see anything I know it's not the last game sure so
30:16like it is
30:17can you see anything outside no nothing me neither anything now over here there's something moving
30:23where yes Thomas there's something down there I can see you moving sergeant Fletcher what are you doing
30:30that ain't no sea monster
30:50that's Kelvin Mason he runs a boat excursion business in the harbor
30:55there's some sort of box under there it looks like it's time to wait to stop it moving
31:13it's back to here's the box for salvage from the sea
31:19your gun we found on your jet ski 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 middleman all right I don't sell it I don't buy it I just make some extra
32:00money moving
32:00it from A to B Giles Perry was on to you wasn't he at first he thought it was the
32:05Luska making those
32:06noises 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 that's
32:16what
32:16he heard me banging against the bottom of his boat and when he went to the same location a second
32:22time to
32:23try and cut sight of it
32:25the Luska
32:25I'm gonna 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
32:34I didn't know he'd seen me when I went back to the harbor
32:39I know what you're up to Kelvin
32:41I pleaded with him not to say anything to the police
32:45got to know Giles quite a bit over the years
32:47helped him with his research a couple of times so I thought he might give me a chance
32:54and he told me he'd think about it
32:58but didn't reckon he could ignore it
33:01the next thing he's found floating six miles out of sea dead
33:04I didn't do that to him I swear
33:06his gun of yours
33:08what caliber is it
33:09it's a nine millimeter
33:11why
33:11because we found a nine millimeter bullet on Giles Perry's boat
33:15is that a coincidence Mr. Mason?
33:17yes it is
33:18I wasn't anywhere near his boat when he died
33:21Mr. Mason you were questioned seven years ago when Giles's son
33:26disappeared as a witness
33:28everybody around the harbor was
33:30was that got to do with anything?
33:32so that also is just a coincidence
33:35yes it is
33:38look if it wasn't you then where were you at 7 30 the night Giles Perry was murdered
33:43um I was taking a drink with a guy who works for me
33:47um a fella named Jackson
33:50you fancy another?
33:51call him ask him he'll tell you
33:53I swear
33:56but
33:59there's something else you all need to know
34:01something that happened before Giles took his boat out
34:05poor guy
34:06I went to speak with him
34:09to see if he changed his mind about talking with the police
34:13when I turned the corner
34:15he was arguing with someone
34:18Giles called him Rory
34:20I know your game Rory
34:22Giles said he had evidence of some kind
34:24I didn't hear what
34:26but he took out this folder and he gave it to him
34:30now that the Rory fella he didn't seem too happy
34:33he got 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
34:43I turned and left
35:40the Giles Perry case right now
35:41that I was only with Cara for her money
35:46Rory only told me about this last night
35:49Giles had to scrabble together enough money to
35:52pay 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
36:06which went bankrupt
36:09she's still chasing you for money
36:11it was a total mess I made
36:14financially 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 I don't want a penny I just want to be with Cara
36:34so why did you follow Mr Perry down to the harbour after dinner?
36:38because he was being so unforgiving towards Cara
36:40saying that she was using their son's tragedy to line her own pockets
36:44I wanted him to know the truth
36:51we're adopting a baby
36:53starting a family
36:55and it's taken all the courage in the world for her to do this
36:58and you told him
37:06all 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
37:29and I got back to the hotel about half an hour later
37:33he was out at sea
37:35what did he say?
37:38he asked if I loved Cara
37:41like he needed to get it confirmed
37:44and you said
37:49yes I do
37:50so very much
37:57then he just hung up
38:17so a few minutes before he dies
38:19Jazz Perry phones his ex-wife's new partner to ask if he loves her
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
38:35you know
38:37did Giles Perry take his own life
38:39but then try to make it look like it was the Lusker that did it to
38:42prove to everyone that it was right all along
38:46that doesn't feel right
38:47anyway 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
39:02did he end up dead?
39:05maybe these two have the answer
39:09just come straight from the lab
39:11please tell me it's good news
39:13there are no striation marks on the bullet
39:16so they can't match it to Kelvin Mason's gun
39:18same make same caliber but
39:20hang on
39:21no striation marks at all
39:23said they've been worn away
39:24by incrustation of marine organisms
39:29corrosion patterns suggest 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 Perry take his own life?
39:49the two liferings there are missing their ropes
39:52Giles Perry worked as a paramedic back in the uk until he moved out here seven years ago
39:57now that the Rory fella he didn't seem too happy got 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
40:10i know what happened to Giles and how he ended up dead like that
40:28sir
40:30we cracked the case
40:31Benjamin Perry's disappearance
40:33i think i know what happened
40:38spot the difference
41:01we have a lot to thank this little bullet for
41:04we have a lot to thank this little bullet for
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 Perry's body was found dead in the water
41:19looking like the Lusker the legendary sea monster he'd spent seven years searching for
41:24had 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. Perry
41:36it all happened at the same time while he was out at sea
41:41but we've now realized 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 lands down by the harbor 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 however his subsequent fall from your push
42:12caused 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 discomforts 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
42:49comprehended what was happening we know Giles used to be a paramedic so it's safe to assume he
42:58worked out what was wrong that he had minutes left to live
43:03i'm so sorry
43:06and if his imminent death wasn't a grim enough prospect
43:09mr parry also realized that if his body was found on 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 lions
43:21and subsequently some time in prison and knowing what you told him about yourself and kara wanting to start a
43:28family
43:29well he didn't want to inflict any further suffering on you both that's the way he phoned
43:35and asked warry if he loved me that's why he needed to know to be sure
43:42do you love her he could protect you both by making it look like he killed himself
43:52it was ds 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 comes overboard
44:02i didn't think anything of it at first but 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 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 markings
44:38friction burn and therefore when his body was found he hoped this would also explain his internal injuries
44:45the bruising
44:46all 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 on the
44:58surface
44:58because of this
45:02as Giles sank to the seabed by some quirk of fate he saw this bullet
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 more
45:36sinister reasons
45:38is it to do with benjamin's disappearance
45:41maybe
45:42so we believe
45:44he loosened the rope grabbed the bullet and allowed himself to float to the surface determined
45:51to 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
46:01Giles did one last thing
46:04one final attempt to let everyone know what he discovered on the seabed
46:10he threw this bullet onto the deck
46:13a message from him to us to 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 helping with the past
46:25my son's case
46:29and has it
46:37that bullet we found
46:40it turns out
46:42it's been sat on the seabed for the last seven years
46:46in the exact same location
46:49Giles and Cara's son went missing
46:52it was fired from your gun
46:54to kill
46:56Benjamin Parry
46:58but he drowned at sea
46:59what why you know saying he was shot
47:08this photograph was taken the day before benjamin went missing
47:15it's of him and his father outside your office
47:19and this was taken by one of the guadeloupe police officers
47:24the day after he disappeared
47:28your witness statement is unremarkable
47:32in every way
47:34apart from this photograph
47:36i had to get the magnifying glass out to really notice
47:42but in this photograph of benjamin and his father
47:47the wall behind your desk is set farther back from the window
47:52than it is in this photograph of you
47:55where it appears 40 or 50 centimeters closer to it
48:01which left me wondering why less than 48 hours later
48:08your office had seemingly shrunk
48:12the only conclusion i could draw was because a new wall had been built
48:19leaving benjamin's body at sea would have meant there was a possibility he could be found
48:26and if he was then it would be discovered
48:29that he'd be shot
48:33whereas if you hid his body and everybody assumed he drowned at sea
48:39then maybe you'd get away with it
48:46but where to hide it
48:49we have a team at your office as we speak about to tear down that wall
48:56so if i'm wrong about what's been hidden behind it
49:01the last seven years you have nothing to worry about
49:05but if i am right now is your chance to start talking
49:24that morning
49:25that morning seven years ago
49:30it was real early
49:34but when i got back up with the day's delivery
49:38he was there recording me on his phone
49:42for evidence
49:44i mean stupid idiot
49:46why would you do that because you left me no choice
49:51i had to act fast
49:53so i got the lockbox which you moved to a new location two miles away where your smuggling continued
50:03until giles parry discovered what you were doing all these years
50:08and benjamin parry's bodies
50:15i took it ashore
50:20i put them
50:22in one of the cases we stole the diving gear
50:25it's airtight so
50:28i spent the whole day getting everything i needed for that wall
50:33i spent the whole night building it
50:37and i have lived with it every day since
50:42why now you go
50:43and y'all let me know how it went huh
50:45you're with real pirate royalty now huh
50:48knowing that poor boy is stuck behind that wall
50:53will haunt me forever
51:00galvin 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
51:27now 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 heloise
51:33i know she ran away from her aunt and came to you because she doesn't like it there
51:36no it's because you told her you were innocent and i'd get you out
51:40you lied to her
51:41maybe i was a bit free and easy with the truth but
51:44she's there because she needs you
51:46she doesn't even know me she does a bit
51:49i told her some things that you were a good man
51:56solomon i i can't
51:58yes you are a man
51:59i know i'm not
52:01i have made a mess of pretty much everything in my life but that's why i'm asking this one thing
52:07this one favor
52:09her mom and aunt are cool but she's a dad's girl you know
52:14you know me and her is something special and her stupid father's got himself stuck in prison so what
52:23she 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
52:44lady
53:02wrong again was here all alone
53:23I've had people arrested in Covent Garden for that, you know?
53:25Your dad taught you what I assume.
53:31Look, I'm...
53:33I'm not good at this kind of thing, OK?
53:36Maybe because 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, like 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 niece 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, I've given up any hope of my son's body being returned to me.
54:35So to stand here knowing my boy will be returned home to England,
54:40it 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 steer shot.
54:52When all hope is lost.
54:54But it seems like you might never get the answer.
54:56Yeah.
54:59But I'd especially like to thank
55:02Commissioner Selwyn Patterson
55:04for uncovering a truth that
55:06no one else was able to.
55:08I will be forever grateful.
55:17What's going on?
55:18It's for you.
55:20You're the man.
55:31So, uh, that diverged.
55:33It's for you.
55:34Some guy named Damon?
55:36I mean, said to give him a card
55:38when he got that charm.
55:59Gonna go eat, Inspector.
56:01Sarge, Inspector's niece.
56:03Catherine invited us all.
56:04It feels like there's a lot to celebrate.
56:07And you can build up a hunger
56:08when you're hunting sea monsters, you know.
56:11Sea monsters?
56:12You didn't tell me what hunting sea monsters.
56:14That's because we weren't.
56:16Well, not all of us anyway.
56:18All right, Eloise,
56:19this is Commissioner Patterson, my boss.
56:21It's a pleasure to meet you.
56:23You too.
56:25Right, let's go.
56:26Come on.
56:26You like playing card games,
56:28Commissioner Patterson?
56:29All right, let's not start
56:30going down that road, young lady.
56:32The man speak for himself.
56:33As it happens,
56:35I do like playing cards.
56:36Yeah, but not the kind of card
56:38she wants to play.
56:39Honestly, Commissioner,
56:39in fact, everyone
56:40do not play cards with this girl.
56:42Uncle Merv!
56:43Oh!
56:51Was she just trying to hustle
56:53the Commissioner?
56:55Yeah.
