00:00Hi, welcome.
00:33Ladies and gentlemen of the Tempest Company, this is your 15-minute call.
00:3615 minutes.
00:37Nate, sweetie, I just wanted to give you a little thank you, Prezi, for everything you've
00:41done for us.
00:44I can't believe it's our last show.
00:48I'm going to miss you so much, my lovely.
00:51Yeah, me too.
00:57Nate, hon, is everything all right?
01:02Spirits hear me.
01:04It's our needs must curse, but they'll know a pinch.
01:08No, it sounds brilliant.
01:10And it's the lead, is it?
01:11Oh, great.
01:12OK, yeah.
01:13No, I can get a tape out of it to you.
01:15When's the deadline?
01:17I'll find someone.
01:18OK, my darling, let's do lunch when I'm back, OK?
01:21And I'm paying this time, you cheeky monkey.
01:24All right, you can pay.
01:25OK, lots of love.
01:26Bye.
01:28Another self-tape.
01:29So annoying.
01:31I'll tell you what it was, but I've just got to sign an NDA, you know, so...
01:34That's cool, Mum.
01:36Pleased for you.
01:37Guys, guys, we've got a situation.
01:38Like, a bad one.
01:40Rich is a no-show.
01:41His phone's going straight to voicemail.
01:42I think we all know where Prospero's total laughter.
01:50I think we all know where Prospero's total laughter.
01:51No, no, never.
01:54No, no, never.
01:56That is.
01:57I guess our last night was always going to be a mad one.
02:00After the way this tour's gone.
02:04But we both made it to the end.
02:08No, no, never, no more will I pay.
02:16No, never, no more.
02:20Rich.
02:21Rich, come on.
02:24Rich, we've got to go.
02:26Skedaddle, youth.
02:27Rich, come on.
02:28There's an audience.
02:28They've paid to see us.
02:29To see you.
02:32Come on, you're not going to let them down, are you?
02:38All right, come on.
02:40Hey, hey.
02:45All right.
02:46All right, all right.
02:50All right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
02:52Oh, sweet Lord.
02:55Mr Dempster, you doing okay?
02:58Of course I am.
02:59Why wouldn't I be?
02:59Just a little dry around the mouth, that's all.
03:01Final call for Miranda.
03:02Act one, scene two.
03:03Final call, Miranda.
03:06Oh, no, no, no, no, no, that's a pop.
03:11Oh, much advice.
03:22Then to sea boys and go hang.
03:30This is a scurvy tune.
03:34Oh, but here's my comfort.
03:37Do not torment me.
03:39Oh.
03:39Whoa.
03:40What's the matter?
03:41Have we devils here?
03:43If all the wine in my bottle will recover him, I will help his ague.
03:53Ah, that's a brave god.
03:55And bear celestial liquor.
03:57Come, amen.
03:58I will pour some in thy other mouth.
04:06Stavano!
04:07Stavano!
04:07Lost thy other mouth caught me.
04:10Why, this is a devil and no monster.
04:12Stavano, I am Trinculo.
04:14Be not afeard.
04:16Thy good friend, Trinculo.
04:18Very Trinculo, indeed.
04:20I swear upon that bottle to be thy true subject.
04:24I'll show thee every fertile inch of the island.
04:30I see.
04:31I see.
04:34I prithee.
04:37Let me show thee where crabs grow.
04:41And with my long nails, I'll dig thee pig...
04:47Pig nuts.
04:51Oh, my God, Michael.
04:55Nathan, we need our first aid here.
04:58Michael, look to me.
05:01Oh, my God, he's not breathing.
05:03Someone call an ambulance.
05:05No!
05:06Quick!
05:07Somebody call an ambulance!
05:29Oh, my God, you're trying to prevent my death.
05:31Oh, boy.
05:31That's not what we need.
05:32We'll beok.
05:32We'll be the power.
05:32Bye.
05:47Yes, Thomas, what's up?
05:48Are you at the shot, sir?
05:50That I am, practising my darts.
05:52Oh, can't say you don't need it.
05:55Since I got myself a decent set of arrows, my form has improved.
06:00Get in!
06:02I'm presuming this isn't a social call, you've got a case?
06:05A suspected poisoning occurred during a theatre performance.
06:09The victim collapsed on stage.
06:10What, you sure it wasn't an accident?
06:12According to paramedics, the symptoms suggest it's cyanide poisoning.
06:16Interesting.
06:17No!
06:18Is everything all right?
06:22I think I might have just nearly killed Harry.
06:25What are you doing, man?
06:27You can't play on here, it's not safe.
06:29Oh, God.
06:33Michael Farrar, 32 years old, suddenly collapsed halfway through the second act of the performance.
06:39The Tempest, the poster said.
06:41Yeah.
06:42Last ten months they've been touring beaches all over the world with it.
06:45This was their final performance.
06:47Sergeant Fletcher's taken all the necessary statements.
06:50Caliban, I'll take it.
06:51One sec, let me check.
06:54Yes.
06:55Yes, it was.
06:56I mean, two points for you, Inspector.
06:59How did you work that out?
07:00Well, he looks monster-y, you know.
07:03Not human.
07:05I assume the smell of almonds got the paramedics thinking it was cyanide.
07:08Which is fast acting, so do we know what he consumed before he died?
07:12Well, apparently, he drank from this moments before it happened.
07:18It's a fiasco.
07:18I mean, I'm trying my best here, sir.
07:20I haven't been here for long.
07:21I just got here.
07:21Oh, this is a fiasco.
07:24It's a traditional Italian wine bottle.
07:26He'll have drank from this in Act 2, Scene 2, the famous drinking scene.
07:30Let me check for you again.
07:31Boom, shakalaka.
07:33Two more points for you again, Inspector.
07:35It was indeed Act 2, Scene 2.
07:38Oh, the man knows it's Shakespeare.
07:40He does?
07:42Who knew?
07:42Cherry juice.
07:43That'll be for the red wine.
07:45So chances are we're looking at our murder weapon.
07:48That's what you think, right?
07:50But it can't be.
07:51Because two others drank from the same bottle during the performance.
07:55Stefano and Trinculo.
07:56That one I don't know, sir.
07:58But based on your previous form, two pints again.
08:01So what happened to the other two actors who drank from this?
08:03Not a thing.
08:04The paramedics checked them out and they seemed fine.
08:08And they recorded the show, seeing as it was the last performance.
08:11So I will watch it back and check to see what happened.
08:15But if they did drink from the same bottle, then...
08:19He must have ingested the poison some other way.
08:22Hmm.
08:26Let's see what the rest of the company had to say.
08:31These are two that drank from the same bottle as the victim.
08:33Mm-hmm.
08:34Just Gorman and Anya Chambers.
08:35She and the victim were in a relationship together and she's taken it pretty badly.
08:42Who are the others?
08:43So this is Richard Dempster.
08:45He directed this production and he also plays...
08:47Uh, Prospero.
08:48There comes a moment in every actor's life, a certain character's call to you.
08:56I had no choice.
08:58I had to submit.
09:00Okay.
09:01And this is Nathan Burns.
09:03He's the company's stage manager.
09:04I swear, if there was poison in that bottle, it wasn't me that put it in there.
09:09Actually, Mr Burns, we're working on the basis that the poison was administered another way.
09:13Really?
09:13Oh, thank God.
09:14Yeah, the cyanide's fast-acting, so if it was in your system, we'd pretty much know by now.
09:20We'd like to know what else Mr Farr consumed in the 20 minutes or so before he died.
09:26Mikey never ate before a show.
09:28Not for two or three hours.
09:29Did he drink anything?
09:31I just sip water.
09:33What did he drink from?
09:35Uh, one of those water flask thingies.
09:38Oh, there it is.
09:43Okay, so take me through exactly what happened this afternoon.
09:48Anything out of the ordinary?
09:49We went up a bit late by about 15 minutes.
09:53How come?
09:54Mm-hmm.
09:55Um, just, um, technical hitch.
10:00And once the show had started?
10:02Oh, um, Michael was, um, on stage in scene one.
10:06He doubles as the bosun.
10:08Take in the top sail.
10:09Ten to the master's whistle!
10:12Then a very, very swift makeup costume change reappear as Caliban in act one, scene two.
10:20Anya helps, um, well, helped with that.
10:24And how did he seem, then?
10:27Fine.
10:28And what about before he went on stage and collapsed?
10:31A bit nervous.
10:33Pacing.
10:34Buying his nails.
10:35He always was.
10:36Before that scene, there were a couple of tricky speeches in it.
10:39But he wasn't looking ill.
10:43Can any of you think why someone might want to do this to Mr. Farrah?
10:48No.
10:50Mikey was loved by the whole company.
10:52Very talented boy.
10:54He had the whole world at his feet.
11:07If we're working on the basis that the killer got the poison into Michael's system 15, 20 minutes prior to
11:14him dying on stage,
11:14and it must be one of the cast or a stage crew that...
11:20Sir?
11:21Why kill someone like that in front of an audience and on the very last show of the tour?
11:29I mean, after today, they could all go home, right?
11:32They'd never have to see each other again.
11:35So why did he have to die on that stage today?
11:40This is a public beach, right?
11:42Well, we're going to need some security to keep an eye on the crime scene.
11:46And get Sergeant Fletcher and Officer Rose to do a sweep of the place.
11:48On it.
11:58You all right, Mr. Dempster?
12:00Oh, oh, no.
12:01Ten months on tour will do this to you.
12:07Come on, Richard.
12:08It's time to go.
12:22Well, I recognise you from somewhere.
12:25Oh, yeah.
12:26It's a whole community police scheme thing we're doing.
12:30Sounds thrilling.
12:32I didn't catch your name in the frenzy of it all.
12:35Sergeant Matty Fletcher.
12:36Sergeant Matty Fletcher.
12:38Would you like to go for a drink with me while I'm on the island?
12:42No.
12:43That's inappropriate, Mr. Gorman.
12:46You know, with me being a police officer and you a possible suspect in a murder case.
12:51Right, yeah.
12:51Well, that makes sense.
12:53I hope that wasn't too embarrassing.
12:55Not for me, it wasn't.
12:56Good, good.
12:58I guess as an actor, I lost all sense of shame a while ago.
13:01Mm-hmm.
13:04Did he just ask you on a date?
13:05During a murder investigation.
13:07That's a red flag right there.
13:09Maybe he's the killer.
13:10Maybe he's trying to get close to the police to keep an eye on the investigation.
13:13Or maybe he's just a bozo.
13:15That's how I saw a possibility.
13:16Mm-hmm.
13:18Crazy, man.
13:19Oh, yeah.
13:31Take a bow, Mikey.
13:33Because it's all over now.
13:35I told you.
13:37It was always going to end this way.
13:50Oh, that's great, man.
13:51I'll get the beers, yeah?
13:53Yeah.
13:53And some snacks.
13:54Nice.
13:55What time should we say?
13:56Around seven-ish?
13:57Yeah, cool, man.
13:58All right, nice one.
13:59See you then.
14:01I just arranged a dance night with Daryl.
14:03Tonight, he's going to get his mates around.
14:06It's going to be a bit like being back home, you know?
14:08Lads standing around the dartboard, beers, banter.
14:11Oh, the only thing that's missing is a sticky pub carpet and some pork scratchings.
14:16Pork scratchings?
14:17Yeah.
14:18They are the quintessential English pub snack.
14:21It's fried pigskin.
14:23I'll get some sent over for you.
14:25Oh.
14:27No rush.
14:29Lab results?
14:30Ah, yes.
14:31And they confirmed the victim died from potassium cyanide poisoning.
14:36No surprise there?
14:37They checked Michael's own water bottle and found no traces of the poison in it whatsoever.
14:42Nothing in his water bowl.
14:45As for the fiasco, cherry juice, fairly high glucose levels, they noticed.
14:53But, most importantly, a lethal dose of potassium cyanide.
15:00That is surprising.
15:02Poison was in the bottle that our victim and the other two actors drank from on stage.
15:06Mm-hmm.
15:07So how can three people drink from the same poison bottle and only one of them die?
15:12It doesn't make any sense.
15:22Hello, yes.
15:24It's Sergeant, I'm going to let you...
15:25There's a left for your liquor.
15:27Ha-ha!
15:27Ah, come on then!
15:29I will pull something down the mountain.
15:30Well, we can rule out the pretending to drink theory.
15:33I mean, these guys are drinking from the bottle for real.
15:35No question.
15:36So what if one of the other two actors slipped the poison in on stage just before Michael drank from
15:41it?
15:42Yeah, rewind it a bit.
15:45Okay, play.
15:47Could it be Jez?
15:49Now, the bottle is in view the whole time.
15:51And he's not adding anything to it.
15:53Also, Michael's not the last person to drink from that bottle.
15:56Seb's right.
15:57Anya drinks after Michael, so even if something had been added by Jez, Anya would have consumed it as well.
16:33Did he ever tell you anything about that?
16:33I'm telling you, this is all going to come back on you, and sooner than you think I...
16:37And there's rumours going around that there's history between them.
16:40So Casey, slash Miranda, said we should speak to this agent.
16:43Did you get anything from the search?
16:46Nothing interesting.
16:48I was suspicious.
16:50You know, he's been homing this little tune.
16:54I've never seen him do this before.
16:56Me neither.
16:58Inspector!
16:59What's this funky tune you've been homing?
17:02I don't know.
17:04It's been in my head since yesterday.
17:05I can't shake it.
17:06I can't place it.
17:10Wait a minute.
17:23Bingo!
17:25It was an advert.
17:26It was on the telly about five years ago.
17:28They kept playing it.
17:34See, that's what I was humming.
17:37And why is this relevant?
17:40Wait.
17:41As a plumber, I've seen my fair share of what brings me to you.
17:44That's why.
17:45And I know they can leave a pretty nasty pong.
17:47But now I've found Whistbusters, I can leave my...
17:50That's Nathan Burns, the stage manager.
17:52Man, he's like a better actor than all of the others put together.
17:56Nathan Burns was an actor.
17:58And he has history with our victim.
18:01I just spoke to an agent in London who used to represent Nathan.
18:05She remembers him as being super ambitious.
18:08The Whistbusters ad wasn't the end of his rainbow then?
18:10The agent said about eight years ago, Nathan had a really important audition for the production
18:16of Macbeth at the National Theatre in London.
18:19And he didn't get it.
18:21But guess who did?
18:23Michael Farah.
18:24And more than that, Nathan went to the police at the time.
18:28He was adamant that he was spiked before the audition.
18:36By Michael?
18:37By Michael.
18:47So I get this big audition.
18:49And I go down to London and stay in a cheap hotel near the theatre.
18:54Michael's staying in the same place.
18:56Me and him get chatting in the bar the night before.
18:58What were you drinking?
18:59Just softs.
19:00But Michael insists on getting the last round.
19:03I go to bed at ten.
19:05Next thing, it's midday and I've missed the audition.
19:08You think he drugged you?
19:09He was taking out the competition.
19:11And you went to the police?
19:12They said there wasn't enough evidence.
19:14Whatever he'd given me was already out of my system.
19:17What happened after that?
19:19I never got another break like it.
19:21Did a bit of theatre and education, a couple of TV ads.
19:25Whiffbuster?
19:27Yeah, whiffbuster.
19:31And then I quit.
19:33So you tour with this guy for ten months and it never comes up?
19:41Mr Burns, just before the last show, you were seen arguing with Michael, saying,
19:46it's all going to come back on you and sooner than you think, mate.
19:52You're referring to him sabotaging your audition?
19:56That's some revenge.
19:58Spiking his drink like he spiked yours.
20:00I didn't kill Michael because of what he did to me eight years ago.
20:03Still must have bothered you though, right?
20:04Otherwise, why bring it up?
20:05I just...
20:06I couldn't stop myself.
20:09I was never going to see him again.
20:16We'll be in touch.
20:24There is definitely something he's not telling us.
20:42Rich, the police have been asking questions.
20:46I didn't tell them what he did to you.
20:49But if there's heat on me again, I don't think I can stay quiet any longer.
20:57To thine own self be true, eh?
21:03Oh, Delroy.
21:06Same again, if you would.
21:07Okay, no problem.
21:16Sir, how come you know so much about Shakespeare?
21:19Seems unlikely.
21:21You know, with you being a day of the match, a match of the day kind of guy.
21:26No disrespect.
21:28When I was a kid, I used to hang around outside the stage doors of West End theatres, yeah?
21:34In case I saw someone famous.
21:35Yeah, we meet Vin Diesel.
21:37No, I don't think Vin Diesel ever trod the boards of London.
21:42Anyway, I got to know some of the staff and they would let me sneak in and watch whatever was
21:46on at the time.
21:47So, yeah, I have seen my fair share of the Bard's works.
21:54Also, I got talking to the actor sometimes.
21:57And they would say how hard a gig it was.
22:00You know, the failed auditions, the unemployment, doing rubbish jobs just to make ends meet.
22:05It was tough, competitive.
22:07As our first suspect found out.
22:09Well, could it be that that pushed Michael to do what he did to Nathan?
22:13But it also shows there's a dark side to our victim.
22:16Spiking someone's drink just so he can get the role he wanted.
22:19That's ruthless.
22:20Well, whatever it was that led someone to poison Michael Farah, well, we still haven't got a Scooby how we
22:25pulled it off.
22:26I mean, the man died on stage, right?
22:28In the middle of a performance.
22:30Drinking from the same bottle as these two.
22:32But they didn't die.
22:34He did.
22:38Did I Wilson speak in?
22:41Yeah, I can talk now.
22:45Okay.
22:48Yeah, yeah, I understand.
22:51Have you spoken to my brother about this?
22:54He has?
22:56Right.
22:57Uh, okay.
22:59Um, well, um, thanks for letting me know.
23:06Sir, is everything all right?
23:14I knew Mum would leave everything to Solomon.
23:18I just didn't think he'd put the house up for sale as soon as it was his.
23:24I thought we'd at least chat about it first.
23:28And what about your mother's things?
23:31According to the solicitor, he's arranged for a house clearance company to take everything and auction it all off.
23:38It all seems so rushed to me.
23:40Of course it's going to feel rushed.
23:42I would have liked at least a last look around the place.
23:47Maybe keep something of hers to remember her by.
23:56Then call your brother and tell him that's what you'd like to help him.
24:01He's got to understand, right?
24:17Hey!
24:19You.
24:20Yes.
24:21Uh, how can I help?
24:23Oh, well, actually, I thought I could help you, you know, wind down after a hard day's policing the streets.
24:30I've got some beers, picnic blanket, and, um, yeah, I thought we could find a quiet beach and get to
24:38know each other.
24:39Hmm.
24:39Mr. Gorman?
24:40Yes.
24:41Did we not already have this conversation?
24:43We did, yes, but I felt what was happening was, you know, you were on duty, you had your colleagues
24:49around you,
24:50and I think you were saying what you felt you had to say.
24:53Hmm, no.
24:55Come on, I'm not on this island for very long.
24:57Um, how often do you get to do this with someone like me?
25:01Let's just have some fun.
25:03Here we go.
25:04Here we go.
25:04Hmm.
25:06Hmm.
25:07Hmm.
25:07Yes.
25:08Yes.
25:09Yes.
25:10There you go.
25:13Cheers.
25:15Actually, now that I think about it, I did say that I was going to meet my friend.
25:19What's the time now?
25:20Oh, no, you're spilling it, you're spilling it.
25:22Oh, what a shame.
25:24I do have somewhere to be right now, though.
25:29Do not bother me again unless it's related to the case, Mr. Gorman.
25:36You understand now?
25:38Good.
25:39You enjoyed the rest of your evening.
25:58Sergeant Fletcher, good morning.
25:59What have you got?
26:00So I've been doing background checks on the other cast members,
26:03and I noticed Anya Chambers and Jez Gorman were in the same play back in 2021.
26:09And they ended up getting together.
26:13And, wait for it, they only got married a year later.
26:16Hang on, I thought Anya was with Michael.
26:18She was.
26:19She left Jez for him during the tour they'd been on.
26:23Why did this not show up sooner?
26:25Because it wasn't officially registered yet.
26:27They had a vow ceremony in the forest somewhere.
26:30There was a whole Midsummer Night's Dream theme going on.
26:33Yeah.
26:34Yeah, you should have seen some of the photos they posted on social media.
26:38That was some dress she wore.
26:39Respectfully, of course.
26:41So, how did Jez feel about being replaced by Michael?
26:44Hmm.
26:44Well, according to the other cast members, really not so good seems to be the answer.
26:49Mm-hmm.
26:55Look, I don't know who said that, but it's nonsense.
26:57So when Anya told you she was leaving you for Michael, you weren't upset?
27:00Sorry, why is she here?
27:02Is that normal procedure?
27:04To bring a uniformed sergeant along?
27:05It is.
27:06Yep.
27:07Yes, it is.
27:08Okay.
27:09Fine.
27:10So it's nonsense, is it, that you were upset about Anya?
27:13Yes.
27:14I mean, Anya's the one who's losing out, not me.
27:17All our mutual friends are siding with me.
27:19She's the one who's going to have to move in with her parents when she gets back home, not me.
27:22I mean, it hurts.
27:24Yeah.
27:25Of course it hurt.
27:26It really hurt.
27:27But I didn't kill Michael because of it.
27:29I wasn't looking for revenge.
27:33Ah, this is my agent, so I should probably take...
27:35No.
27:37You shouldn't.
27:38Okay, she'll leave a voicemail.
27:40This is a murder investigation, Mr Gorman.
27:43And your wife fell in love with the victim.
27:45That's a very strong motive.
27:47Well, that's where you're wrong, actually.
27:48They didn't fall in love.
27:50I mean, maybe she did, I don't know, but it wasn't reciprocated.
27:54What makes you say that?
27:58Because he told me so.
28:02A few nights before our final performance, we all had a bit of a sesh at the hotel bar.
28:08Some of us went for a dip in the sea.
28:10Michael comes up to me and says he's going to end it with Anya because he's got some off-Broadway
28:16play
28:17and she's not what he needs right now.
28:20And did he end it with her?
28:22Yeah.
28:24Five minutes before the beginning of our final show.
28:28Talk about timing, eh?
28:40Anya's in room 352.
28:42That was Seb.
28:44The security team at the crime scene says somebody tried to break into the dressing room area last night.
28:49Guess her description?
28:51Is that something that we could have missed?
28:53Right, you and Officer Rose get down to the crime scene.
28:56Let's go and talk to Anya.
28:59Yeah, well, when's the deadline?
29:00Yes, Seb?
29:01Yeah, I'm sure I can get some.
29:02It could be on tape.
29:06Mikey and I had gone to collect Rich from this bar he drinks in.
29:11That was why we went up late.
29:13So that was the technical pitch.
29:16We literally had five minutes before the performance was about to start.
29:20Mr. Dempster!
29:21Come on, let's get you dressed.
29:22Fight! Fight!
29:24Michael just blurts it out.
29:27I can't do this anymore.
29:29I'm going to New York.
29:32I'm going alone.
29:34You gave up your marriage for Michael.
29:36You risked everything.
29:39It must have hurt, then, when he told you it was over between you two?
29:45I don't know.
29:49What was it that drew you to Michael?
29:52It felt like...
29:54a kindred spirit.
29:57It was something I'd never had with Jez.
30:00In what way?
30:02Mikey cared so much about his work, but it terrified him.
30:06He was striving to be as good as he could.
30:10And knowing it could all be torn down by a critic or the audience.
30:14And that vulnerability drew me to him.
30:17Because I feel it, too, in everything.
30:22Okay, so in that moment, when he told you he'd finished with you,
30:26you must have felt...
30:27Betrayed.
30:29Angry.
30:29And within the hour, he was dead.
30:32What?
30:33You think I did it?
30:36Because of...
30:37I mean, but...
30:38How, even?
30:43You think I'd carry around a bottle of cyanide with me just in case I get dumped?
30:49And if you'd forgotten, I drank from the same bottle as him.
30:53Why would I do that if I knew there was poison in it?
31:01You know, my mum's church has this dirty thing going on.
31:06And sometimes, I think about doing a bit of act to myself, you know?
31:10It's just the words sometimes.
31:13I really struggle with words.
31:15Like, um...
31:18Cool.
31:22The winds did sing it to me.
31:24And the thunder, that deep and dreadful organ pipe, pronounced the name of Prosper.
31:31It did bass me trespass.
31:32Bass me trespass?
31:34I mean, what does that even mean, like, bass me trespass?
31:38Like a boombox type of bass?
31:39Less of the bass and more of the searching.
31:42Sergeant Fletcher.
31:43Commissioner, afternoon.
31:44Afternoon, sir.
31:46Might I have a word?
31:53How is the investigation going?
31:55We're making progress, sir.
31:57We've already got a few suspects in mind.
32:00Is everything all right, sir?
32:03A complaint has been made,
32:06accusing you of unprofessional conduct.
32:09By who?
32:11Jess Gorman claims you tried to initiate a romantic relationship with him.
32:16He said what?
32:17And when he turned you down, twice,
32:21you pursued him as a suspect in the case.
32:24That is just not true.
32:27We interviewed him because there was evidence to suggest he had a motive.
32:33And it was Mr Gorman who asked me out twice.
32:36I swear to you, sir, he is making this all up.
32:40I mean, I would never do something like that, sir.
32:43You believe me, right?
32:46Look, sir, ask Officer Rose.
32:49He was there the first time Mr Gorman asked me out.
32:52He will tell you.
32:54Very well.
32:57Leave it with me.
33:06Exactly what am I looking for?
33:09Yes.
33:11Though, cannot find a thing.
33:13Hmm.
33:13Hmm.
33:14Ah.
33:17Hmm.
33:27Sarge!
33:29Think I found something.
33:32What is it?
33:35What is it?
33:37It's a beach like a key.
33:40There's a few of them two minutes of the road.
33:45Oh.
33:55Oh.
33:59Syringe.
34:04Well, I'm assuming that's the cyanide.
34:12It's in the throat bozenges.
34:14You all right then, Mr Dempster?
34:23Right, Mr Dempster.
34:26This lot has got your fingerprints all over it.
34:30No one else's.
34:31You care to explain?
34:34It's thanks to Michael Farrah that I fell off the wagon.
34:37Sorry?
34:38Before this tour, I've been sober 20 years.
34:41What happened?
34:43Michael was offered this off-Broadway show.
34:46It was going to get him some good publicity in the States.
34:49Well, at the same time, we had the chance of extending our tour
34:53by three months to South America.
34:55And you didn't want to lose your caliber?
34:56No.
34:57And, I mean, Michael was contractually obliged to stay
35:00if further dates were added.
35:01I refused to release him.
35:03Well, we know Michael was very ambitious,
35:05so I assume he wasn't happy about that.
35:08It's our first day off in the Caribbean, Trinidad.
35:12We all spent the day by the pool.
35:15Cheers.
35:19I didn't realize till it was too late.
35:21Ah, dear boy.
35:23Putting shots of vodka in my soft drink all day.
35:27Once I got the taste for it well.
35:29Double, um, double whiskey, please.
35:3320 years without so much as a sip.
35:35It all came crashing down.
35:38Nathan and dear Anya, they were first to realize
35:40I was back on the source.
35:42Took it in turns, bless them.
35:45Putting me to bed.
35:46Did you tell them what Michael did?
35:48Yes. I don't think Anya believed me.
35:50But Nathan did.
35:52Nathan?
35:53There is definitely something he's not telling us.
35:57He said that Michael had done something
35:59not dissimilar to him once, spiked his drink.
36:03So that's what Nathan was holding back.
36:06When he confronted Michael before the final show,
36:09it wasn't just about his experience eight years ago.
36:13I'm telling you, this is all gonna come back on you,
36:15and sooner than you think, mate.
36:16It was also about what he'd been doing to you.
36:19The irony of it is that funding fell through,
36:22and the end tour was never extended.
36:24Michael got exactly what he wanted.
36:26No, I had a sense he usually did.
36:29Which brings us back to this little collection.
36:32I think he poisoned one of these lozenges.
36:35Gave it to Michael backstage,
36:36then added poison to that wine bottle onstage after he died.
36:40To misdirect us.
36:42Make us think that's what killed him.
36:45I'm afraid my little plan wasn't quite so smart.
36:48Well, and not so deadly.
36:50The bottle doesn't contain cyanide.
36:53It contains...
36:55Lysergic acid diathlamine.
37:00LSD.
37:02The hallucinogen.
37:04I injected one of the lozenges.
37:06No, not with cyanide.
37:08I didn't want to kill him.
37:09I just wanted him to feel how he made me feel.
37:14All powerless.
37:17I wanted everyone to see it.
37:21I would go with that I am.
37:23I didn't go through with it.
37:27And when Michael collapsed onstage,
37:29and we were called...
37:32I panicked.
37:33A little frenzy.
37:34I ran to the beach lockers,
37:36hit the evidence, and...
37:38So it was you, our security sword,
37:39trying to get into the dressing room.
37:41To get that key.
37:43Did you tell anyone else about your plan?
37:45I was so smashed half the time,
37:47I might have left it lying around.
37:51I don't know.
37:52Inspector.
37:56Just a moment.
38:03I think he might be telling the truth.
38:06We've re-watched the video,
38:08and after Michael collapses,
38:10no one goes near the bottle he drank from.
38:12And look,
38:13Jez Garman puts down the bottle here,
38:15and no one touches it again until...
38:19I do.
38:20There.
38:21So the poison was in the bottle all along?
38:24Nothing was added afterwards?
38:26No, sir.
38:28So how come the other two that drank from the bottle
38:30didn't die,
38:31and he did?
38:42You've reached Solomon.
38:44Leave a message,
38:45I'll get back to you.
38:47So...
38:48It's me again.
38:50Can you call me back?
38:51Please.
38:56So I just heard back from a few of Jez and Anya's friends in the UK,
39:00trying to get a handle on their marriage breaking up.
39:04Right.
39:06No one was shocked.
39:07It seems Jez wasn't the most faithful of husbands.
39:10He saw it as a kind of...
39:13open marriage.
39:14Right, and what happens on tour stays on tour.
39:17And after three years of marriage,
39:19Anya felt betrayed and humiliated.
39:21Jez basically took her for granted,
39:22but obviously never expected her to actually leave.
39:26So when Anya hooked up with Michael,
39:28that must have really thrown him.
39:34Still haven't heard from your brother.
39:37You know what?
39:38I think he's actually ignoring my calls.
39:41I keep thinking about how things were between us,
39:43you know, when we last saw each other.
39:45They weren't great.
39:46In fact, if I'm honest,
39:47I kind of think it's because of me that...
39:49we're going our separate ways.
39:50Then maybe you should go visit him in Antigua.
39:53You think?
39:54Yeah.
39:54Just go talk to him.
39:57I'm heading to the lab.
39:58You want me to drop you off at the shack?
40:01No.
40:02Take me to the high street, please.
40:04I need to get a bucket and spade.
40:07As in a...
40:09As in a kiddies bucket and spade,
40:11for like the beach?
40:13What other kind of bucket and spade is there?
40:16Sir, is this for the case?
40:19Or...
40:21Are you having a break now?
40:23Probably both.
40:29Right.
40:31Well...
40:32That's me done.
40:38Sarge, you don't need to stress yourself over this...
40:41Jez Garman complaint.
40:43Like you said, the man's a total bozo.
40:45And the commissioner will definitely see that.
40:47Car, he can see through the lies.
40:50Because...
40:51You're not too sure about it.
40:56There's something that you don't know...
40:59...about me...
41:01...from before...
41:03I...
41:03I came back to St. Marie.
41:06In Jamaica, I...
41:08I messed up.
41:10On a case.
41:11Big time.
41:13And...
41:14And saw my file and the commissioner knows about it.
41:19So...
41:20No.
41:21No, I'm not sure he's gonna have my back on this.
41:25That's why you're transferred.
41:32Well, I mean, look...
41:35I wouldn't be so sure about that, Sarge.
41:38Because one thing I know for a fact...
41:41...is that...
41:42...the commissioner wants to give everyone a chance.
41:45Because, I mean...
41:48...he did with me.
41:50Best decision he ever made.
42:13Morning, Sarge.
42:14Officer Rose.
42:15Oh, say.
42:16Yes, Thomas.
42:18Somebody's giving the inspector some hair.
42:22I never thought I'd see the day the man could have an afro.
42:25Whoever did this, making a bold statement.
42:38Morning, Inspector.
42:41Have you seen the poster?
42:43Someone's giving you a glow up.
42:44Yeah, I've seen it.
42:46Yeah, that really brings out your cheekbones, Inspector.
42:48Kinda suits you.
42:49Oh, and he's got his little kiddies' buckets.
42:52And spades.
42:54Four of them, in fact.
42:57One bottle.
42:58One dose of poison.
43:04Three people drink the same liquid...
43:07...from the same bottle.
43:10Now, how come only one of them ingest the poison and the other two don't?
43:14Well, that's not possible.
43:16Why not?
43:17They're sand in all of them. Or poison, so how?
43:21How indeed, Sergeant Fletcher.
43:26Is that from the lab?
43:27Yes.
43:28Oh.
43:32Confirms the liquid in the bottle we found in Mr. Dempster's cigar box was LSD.
43:40Not legal, but definitely not murder.
43:43Oh, sir, your buckets.
43:45Oh.
43:57The sea's washed all the sand away.
44:02It's like I was never there.
44:08Hang on.
44:13The water made the sand disappear.
44:17Or did it actually disappear?
44:20I mean, what if it was there all along?
44:23I think you poisoned one of these lozenges and added poison to that wine bottle on stage after he died.
44:28No one goes near the bottle you drank from.
44:31As for the fiasco, fairly high glucose levels.
44:35And if that explains the bottle, then where did the poison come from?
44:41In a very, very swift makeup costume change, reappear as Caliban in Act 1, Scene 2.
44:48And with my long nails, I'll defeat you.
44:52Eat those.
44:56You know who did it.
44:59And I think I know why.
45:01But what about the how, Inspector?
45:03I mean, that's what the whole biggie's about, right?
45:05I'm pretty sure I know the how as well.
45:07But, Officer Roams, I need you to run another talks report on Mr Farrah, but I need a glass of
45:11water first.
45:12You're dehydrated.
45:13No, it's not a drink.
45:14It's just a little experiment that will finally prove what really happened on stage three days ago.
45:20One glass of water coming right up.
45:30Now, I don't want to talk ill of the dead.
45:34However, I think it's fair to say that Michael Farrah was a selfish and self-interested individual who only cared
45:42about what he wanted in life and how he was going to get it.
45:46But, did the malicious and hurtful things he did to each of you really mean he had to die?
45:55Anya, you obviously thought he did.
45:59Because it was you that poisoned him.
46:01What?
46:01What?
46:02What?
46:03No.
46:04I absolutely did not.
46:08The mystery we've been trying to solve throughout this case is how three people could drink from the same poisoned
46:17bottle, yet only one of them dies.
46:21We didn't know it, but the answer has been right in front of us from the start.
46:26And in a way, Mr Farrah gave it to us in his dying breath.
46:32And with my long nails, I'll dig the pig...
46:35And I, with my long nails, will dig the pig nuts.
46:40Because that's the thing about Caliban.
46:42He was a monster, right?
46:44And as part of Michael's makeup to help make him look more...
46:49...monstery, his nails were painted.
46:52And that's how he was poisoned.
46:55We need to get this to the lab.
46:56But we've already had Michael's fingernails tested, and it was confirmed there were traces of cyanide in the dried varnish.
47:05It was administered, Anya, by you during his wardrobe change from the bosun into his Caliban costume, makeup, and painted
47:15fingernails.
47:17Nathan, you said Michael would get particularly nervous while waiting to go on stage for Act 2, Scene 2, yeah?
47:24A bit nervous.
47:25He would pace and bite his nails.
47:28Which after touring for 12 months together, and having become intimate with him, you also knew Anya.
47:36But I told you, Michael only ended things with me half an hour before he died.
47:42How could I plan his murder in that time?
47:44You're right.
47:46Michael's murder was planned in advance.
47:49But now we know the killer had to be you, then it follows that you'd already found out Michael was
47:54planning to end his relationship with you.
47:57You getting it?
47:58Yeah, maybe.
48:00And with Michael telling Jez as much...
48:02Look, I'm gonna end things with Anya.
48:05I think you overheard that conversation.
48:07After everything, I thought you should know.
48:09And we believe that's when you decided to kill him.
48:13Then, if Michael's fingernails were poisoned...
48:17Why was there poison in the bottle?
48:19That was to misdirect us, right?
48:22To confuse us with the seeming impossibility that three people could drink from it, but only one die.
48:29Why weren't they all killed?
48:31I'm glad you asked me that, Mr Dempster.
48:33Because to answer that, we need to look to your own plan to get back at Michael Farrar.
48:37We know, Miss Chambers helped to put you to bed a number of times when you've overindulged.
48:44Nathan, dear Anya, they took it in turns, but some really needed bed.
48:49And you admitted yourself, you left the cigar box containing the syringe, the lozenges...
48:55I might have left it lying around.
48:56...and this little bottle lying around the place.
49:00We believe you came across this box, Miss Chambers.
49:03OK, Rich. A sip of water.
49:08Mmm.
49:09And that's when your plans started to take shape.
49:14But instead of using LSD, you used a fatal poison.
49:22Now, I have to admit, it didn't register with me at first, the significance.
49:27But when our lab tested the liquid in that poison bottle, the cherry juice...
49:33As for the fiasco...
49:35They found the level of glucose in it...
49:37Glucose levels.
49:38...higher than normal.
49:40That's where this comes in.
49:43Just over an hour ago, I dropped one of Mr. Dempster's throat lozenges in this glass of water.
49:49And now, look.
49:52It's gone.
49:55Dissolved.
49:57And that's exactly what you did, Anya, with that wine bottle.
50:01Just before yourself, Jez and Michael went on that stage for Act Two, Scene Two.
50:06You see...
50:07As long as the lozenge was whole and hadn't dissolved...
50:11It was safe to drink from.
50:15Which you all did.
50:18But by the time we arrived at the crime scene and sent the bottle to the lab to be tested...
50:24The lozenge had already melted away.
50:27Releasing the poison.
50:29Making it seem like it had been there all along.
50:34But why?
50:36Why did you kill him?
50:40Anya, when you and Michael got together, you were still feeling...
50:44Hurt.
50:46And embarrassed.
50:48By your husband's ongoing infidelities.
50:52Him taking you for granted.
50:54So for Michael, the kindred spirit that you'd risked everything for...
51:00To humiliate you even further by finishing with you...
51:04Only a few months after getting together...
51:06Well...
51:07A bit more than hurt.
51:09And that's when you realised...
51:12That perhaps the rumours you've heard about Michael...
51:16Which you previously dismissed...
51:18Were actually true.
51:20That Mr Dempster's claim that Michael spiked him...
51:24Actually happened.
51:27Did you tell them what Michael did?
51:29Yes.
51:29I don't think Anya believed me, but...
51:31And that Nathan Burns' own past run-in with Mr Farrell...
51:34Was more than mere gossip.
51:36There's been gossip amongst the cast that there's history between them.
51:39So you decided to do something that was long overdue.
51:43And on behalf of yourself...
51:45And everyone else here whose life he'd ruin...
51:48You would give Michael something he deserved.
51:52To make him the one to finally suffer.
51:56His own downfall.
51:58His own humiliation.
52:00Right there on that stage.
52:02For all the world to see.
52:05And that Miss Chambers...
52:07Is why you killed him.
52:17Anya Chambers...
52:18I'm arresting you for the murder of Michael Farrell.
52:22You do not have to say anything.
52:24But it may harm your defence...
52:26If you do not mention when questioned...
52:30Something which you later rely on in court.
52:45You're not seeing up of yourself already?
52:47It's never a nod.
52:50Ah, return of the bozo.
52:52Could we have a quick chat, please?
52:59I just want to let you know that I officially dropped...
53:01My complaint this morning and...
53:04And I wanted to say I'm sorry.
53:07You know you could have lost me my job.
53:10Just because I wouldn't have a drink with you.
53:13What kind of sick little messed up brain you have.
53:16Yeah, that's pretty much what your commissioner said.
53:18Wait, the commissioner?
53:19Yeah, he was the one who insisted I apologise.
53:22He said he was going to charge me with wasting police time.
53:25He caught my agent.
53:26He's a pretty terrifying guy, actually.
53:29Oh, and there he is.
53:31OK.
53:32Well, look, I'd rather not have to deal with him again.
53:34So, I'm really sorry.
53:46Sir?
53:49He apologised.
53:50He did.
53:52Thank you, sir.
53:54I'm sorry I couldn't get him to drop his complaint sooner.
53:57The man was clearly making it all up.
54:03So you knew he was lying all along?
54:06Of course.
54:07But one has to follow procedure in situations like this.
54:13It's...
54:15I just...
54:17I just thought you didn't believe me, sir.
54:20You know, after everything that happened before.
54:25You made a promise to me that there were going to be no more mistakes.
54:32And I tend to take people at their word.
54:35You're a good sergeant.
54:36I can see that.
54:38So, keep it up.
54:39What's somebody working there?
54:39Who may she be knowing a ã‚“,",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",",,",",",","."
