08:51As soon as I found her, I saw my phone had no juice.
08:53I came straight in here and called the ambulance.
08:56I'm telling you, both doors were locked on the inside.
08:58If someone killed Mrs. Godwin
09:01and staged a crime scene,
09:03then how did they manage to get out?
09:10No, that just can't be.
09:12There is no reason anybody would want to do that to Sylvie.
09:15She's right.
09:16It's crazy you think it is suspicious.
09:18Well, can you tell us a little more about her?
09:21Did Mrs. Godwin have any family?
09:23Was she married?
09:24Was, but he passed away. When was it now?
09:26It was 2017.
09:28I officiated the funeral.
09:30I mean, you want to know about Sylvie's life?
09:32It was this church.
09:34This church was her family.
09:37That's the truth.
09:39She had been coming to St. Vincent since before I was born.
09:43She was christened here. She got married here.
09:46And she never missed a single Sunday service in all of her life.
09:50Pastor, I came straight over.
09:53Thank you for coming, Hector.
09:58I called Hector and told him the news.
10:00He was very close to Sylvie.
10:02She was his schoolteacher many years ago.
10:05Hector, my eyes.
10:08D.R. Wilson, D.S. Thomas.
10:13So, Mrs. Godwin was a teacher?
10:16St. Vincent Primary School.
10:18I took over from her as headmistress when she retired.
10:22And you kept in touch with her?
10:23Always.
10:24The things she did for me as a kid.
10:27Above and beyond, you know?
10:33In what way?
10:35She kept an eye on me.
10:38Because my parents didn't.
10:40Sylvie and Walter, her husband, they never had kids themselves.
10:44Hector met the world to her.
10:45That's why this just can't be true.
10:48That woman had nothing but good in her.
10:54Well, if you think of anything, you let us know, yeah?
10:58Mm-hmm.
11:12You can go and rest your feet now.
11:14I'll clear all this up.
11:16Want me to make your herbal tea?
11:17After a day like today, all I want is for you to pour me a rum.
11:22A large one.
11:23All right.
11:24The Christmas rum coming out early this year.
11:26Seb, your inspector, is he usually right about this kind of thing?
11:3499.9% of the time.
11:37So someone did murder Sylvie.
11:40But who?
11:42I don't know.
11:44But it couldn't have been anybody at the church, right?
11:47So maybe Sylvie had things going on in her life that we don't know about.
11:53Well, Mum, I promise you, whatever it is, you'll figure it out.
11:59All right.
12:04I know this hasn't played out how we expected, but I had to do what I had to do.
12:10No, I'm not coming back yet.
12:11Not until I've got what I came for.
12:28Not until I've got what I came for.
12:30Finish your breakfast.
12:39You're welcome.
12:49Oh!
12:52Commissioner.
12:53You made me jump.
12:55Good morning, Inspector.
12:56Good morning.
12:57This arrived for me in the morning post.
13:03It's from your victim.
13:08Mrs. Godwin saw me on the local news covering the recent police initiative event.
13:14She said she could tell I wanted to put things right.
13:18And that's what she also needed to do, right or wrong.
13:23But she didn't say what that was?
13:25Only that whatever it was, was of a criminal nature and had something to do with St. Vincent's Church.
13:33There is a dark secret that has been buried for too long, and it's time the truth came out.
13:40It was posted on Saturday morning.
13:46And 24 hours later, she was dead.
13:52Well, this gets more interesting by the minute.
13:54How much is in Mrs. Godwin's bank account?
13:57$2,463,000.
14:02What?
14:03You sure about that?
14:04Like, seriously?
14:06Seriously.
14:07Well, new primary school headteachers earn so much.
14:10I've requested statements that go further back.
14:12All I have is the last five years, and the money was already in the account.
14:16The victim's husband, Walter, is it?
14:18What did he do for a living?
14:19Mr Walter Godwin.
14:20He was a caretaker at the same school that Mrs. Godwin worked at.
14:24I think that's where they first met.
14:26So it's unlikely to be his money.
14:27Do we know anything about her family?
14:29Yeah.
14:30Mrs. Godwin told me once her parents were farmers.
14:32They definitely weren't rich.
14:34So she didn't inherit it?
14:36Could the money have something to do with the crime she talks about in this letter?
14:39The one connected to St. Vincent's?
14:41Officer Rose, give your mum a call, see if it sparks a memory or something, yeah?
14:44Cool.
14:45But all of this is a bit odd.
14:48Because it's nothing like Mrs. Godwin.
14:50I mean, two million dollars?
14:52That's crazy.
14:53She wasn't that kind of person.
14:55Once we're done here, we're gonna go and search Mrs. Godwin's house.
14:59Also, we've emailed everyone on the St. Vincent's weekly newsletter to see if any of the parishioners saw anything suspicious
15:05yesterday.
15:05Okay, thank you.
15:08Sir, that was the solicitor handling Sylvie Godwin's will.
15:13It seems Mrs. Godwin has left everything to Hector Moyse.
15:19Wow.
15:20So this guy's just become a millionaire?
15:23It appears so, sir.
15:25What do we know about him?
15:26He's a fisherman.
15:28Or was.
15:28But he hasn't worked for the last 18 months or so due to an injury out at sea.
15:34So if he's had no income for almost two years, then two million's gonna come in very handy.
15:46I don't know either.
15:47It's all a bit crazy right now.
15:49Mum, I'll speak to you later.
15:50I've got to go.
15:51I'll leave you to his inspector.
15:53No worries, Commissioner.
15:54Sir, I just got off the phone to my mother and she has no idea what Sylvie Godwin was talking
15:59about in that letter.
16:00Well, if anything else comes to mind, you'll let me know, yeah?
16:02Alright.
16:05Where are they going?
16:06To interview Hector Moyse.
16:08He's a possible suspect now.
16:10Hector?
16:10A suspect?
16:12He's a good guy.
16:13He wouldn't kill anybody, let alone Sylvie Godwin.
16:16She was like a mother to him.
16:17Well, these are the questions we have to ask.
16:19It's what we do without fear or favour, remember?
16:28That used to be my boat.
16:30There.
16:32Spent more time to get on me and her than anyone else.
16:36And then, some doctor, you don't even know, writes a certificate saying you can't do it no more.
16:45Well, how are your finances? Now you're not working.
16:48I'm struggling.
16:49Alright.
16:50No one wants to imply a guy who only knows how to do one thing in his life.
16:55Yeah, but that will change us now, doesn't it?
16:58Excuse me? What?
16:59Mr Moyse, you inherit the bulk of Sylvie Godwin's estate and don't tell us you didn't know.
17:05Her solicitor told us Mrs Godwin informed you when she made the will a few years back.
17:09Yeah, I knew.
17:10But she got hardly nothing, just her house, which is a few tens of thousands.
17:14You think I'd kill for that?
17:16You're telling us she didn't let you know what was in her will?
17:18No.
17:20Why?
17:22It's more than just her house.
17:242.4 million dollars more.
17:28I'm sorry, what?
17:31Is this a joke?
17:32Funny how things turn out, eh?
17:33Yeah.
17:34I didn't know she had that kind of money.
17:36I swear to you, she never mentioned a word to me about it.
17:39Hmm.
17:40Look, I get it.
17:41I get how it looks to you.
17:42I need money.
17:43Badly.
17:44I'm desperate.
17:45But, I had no idea Sylvie was loaded like that.
17:50So why would I kill her?
17:57Sarge, found some kind of time machine.
18:00In Mrs Godwin's office.
18:02Oh, it's a computer.
18:06Uh, have you done those yet?
18:08No, not yet.
18:08Okay, you do that and I'll do this.
18:10Cool.
18:16Well, it seems to be working.
18:19So, I noticed your dad wasn't around yesterday.
18:22If you don't mind me asking, is he...?
18:25Yeah, he, um...
18:27He passed away.
18:28I'm so sorry.
18:31How old were you?
18:33Eleven.
18:35That's so young.
18:36It must have been hard.
18:40Really hard, you know?
18:42Yeah.
18:44My first lesson in pain.
18:46But seeing my mother rise up every morning after that,
18:51that showed me what true love looks like.
18:54You know?
18:55Made us closer.
18:56A team.
18:57You can tell.
19:08The Belshaw diptyk?
19:11You know what a diptyk is?
19:12Yeah.
19:13It's, um...
19:14Used to measure oil in the car.
19:16You know?
19:16You dip it in.
19:17Take it out.
19:18I said diptyk.
19:19You're trying to say dipstick, right?
19:22Diptyk.
19:22A painting or a carving on two panels usually hinge like a book.
19:27Oh, you mean diptyk.
19:29Yeah, man.
19:30Me know about diptyk and them thing.
19:31Yeah.
19:32Well, apparently this Belshaw diptyk is rare.
19:35Priceless kind of rare.
19:37Yeah?
19:38Why was Sylvie interested in this?
19:44Let's check her search history.
19:51Why watch her?
19:52She searched the hell out of it.
19:54This was three days ago.
19:56Friday, the day before she posted that lesson to the commissioner.
20:01Hmm.
20:05The Belshaw diptyk is a rare French panel painting from the Middle Ages.
20:09Each panel measures 50 by 30 centimeters.
20:13Rare.
20:13So it's worth some coinage?
20:14Hmm.
20:15It's worth major coinage.
20:17If anybody could find it, it went missing from France during the Second World War.
20:21And here it is.
20:22It's believed the diptyk was taken from a museum in Paris by a young German soldier called Joseph Krauss.
20:29They reckon he brought that same painting over here to the Caribbean.
20:33When the Vichy government sent a new governor to Martigny, Krauss and a couple of other German soldiers accompanied him.
20:40And what happened to it when he came here?
20:43Why, ya know.
20:45But Joseph Krauss, he fled the region when the war finished.
20:48And the painting never resurfaced.
20:50And some historians believe that Krauss hid the Belshaw diptyk on one of the smaller neighboring islands.
20:56Like Saint Marie.
20:59Right, so our victim was looking into this Belshaw diptyk.
21:04And the next day sent a letter to the commissioner saying she wanted to put right a wrong that took
21:09place many years before at Saint Vincent's church.
21:11And 24 hours later, Sylvie was murdered in the church with both doors locked from the inside.
21:18She also had over two million dollars in her bank account and we've no idea how she got that money.
21:24But if she came into possession of this painting, then maybe that could explain why she ended up so rich.
21:33Okay, let's keep digging, yeah?
21:36And DS Thomas, get in touch with the commissioner.
21:38Because if there's any truth in it, this could be a big deal.
21:54Everything all right?
21:58It's just like, first Hector, then Mrs. Godwin, it's all, it's all a bit much right now.
22:09Sylvie was all about doing the right thing.
22:12You should have said so.
22:13No, because it's like you said, right?
22:15Without fear or favor.
22:17So it's not right me defending her, is it?
22:20Even if I know it's the truth.
22:23Except if this case is too close to home, it's okay to take a step back.
22:27No, it's cool, Sarge.
22:28It's cool.
22:29I really want to help get to the bottom of this.
22:32For Sylvie.
22:34You're sure?
22:35Yeah.
22:36I'm good.
22:36All right, then I'll see you tomorrow morning, yeah?
22:39All right.
22:40Take care of yourself.
22:45All right, thanks for letting me know, Mrs. Martin.
22:48You have yourself a good evening.
22:53Sir, that was one of the parishioners from St. Vincent's,
22:57received the email we sent out asking if anyone saw anything suspicious yesterday.
23:01Mm-hmm.
23:02Says she saw a woman outside the church yesterday morning, parked up in a hire car.
23:07Never seen her at St. Vincent's before.
23:09Description?
23:09It was a silver vehicle with logos for Kariba car hire.
23:14The woman looked in her 50s with shoulder-length blonde hair.
23:19Not much of a tan, apparently.
23:21So, with the hire car, maybe not a local?
23:25Yeah, it's me again.
23:26Sir, who is she?
23:27I'm telling you, the police haven't found it yet.
23:29I watched two officers leaving her house, both of them carrying evidence,
23:33and they didn't have it with them.
23:36So, where's it got to?
23:38I know a little of the history of the Belchior diptyque.
23:41But how or why that connects to Sylvie Godwin, I don't know.
23:47But I shall ask her own.
23:50Evening all.
23:52Um, sorry I'm late.
23:54I had a prior arrangement with a bloke called Barry.
23:58Who, might I ask, is Barry?
24:00It's funny you should ask that.
24:02Well, Barry is a retired expat who's returning to the UK to be with his grandchildren.
24:07So, he's selling off a bunch of stuff online.
24:09So, I got myself this beauty.
24:12And what is that, sir?
24:14This is the answer to Catherine's prayers.
24:17Not that she knows yet.
24:18What is the answer to my prayers?
24:21Oh, Catherine.
24:22Well, it's the one thing that's missing from your place.
24:34Oh.
24:35It's a dartboard.
24:37I can see that.
24:38You see, the thing is, Domino's is all well and good.
24:41But for a boozer to be a proper boozer...
24:43Pardon.
24:44But this is not a boozer.
24:46A pub.
24:47Or a pub.
24:48But whatever this establishment wants to call itself, with this on your wall, it can only enhance
24:54the communal vibe.
24:56No.
24:56We're not an English-themed sports bar.
24:59It's not going up.
25:01Yeah, but Catherine...
25:02I said no.
25:03Just imagine...
25:04My final word.
25:06No!
25:07No!
25:08No!
25:19It seems you are now the proud owner of your very own dartboard.
25:25Ha ha!
25:26Ha ha!
25:27Ha ha!
25:29Ha ha!
25:33Ha ha!
25:33Ha ha!
25:34Ha ha!
25:34Ha ha!
25:35All of it much for me right now in the moment, you know?
25:37I know it is, my love.
25:39I know.
25:44Whoa, Mom, what's this?
25:48Seb, sweetheart, this isn't, um, Seb, you weren't supposed to...
25:53Good evening, Sebastian. You all right?
25:56Me? Are you all right? What's this?
25:59What's going on? Because it look like... Are you...
26:02I guess you could say we've been getting close, the two of us.
26:07Right. Since when?
26:09Well, um, since, I suppose, since, um, what would you say, Loretta?
26:16How long's it been?
26:17I suppose we could say, um, it's been a year.
26:22A year? A year, Ma, and you never once thought to mention it to me.
26:26Um, Hector, I'm so sorry. Could you give us a moment, please?
26:31Actually, I need to be getting home anyway, sir.
26:35Sorry you had to find out like this, Seb, I should have...
26:39We should have two.
26:43Sorry.
26:56I wanted to tell you, but I... I was too scared.
27:00Of how I'd react.
27:02No.
27:03So then what?
27:05See?
27:07It is because of that.
27:08No, no, really. It's not that.
27:10A whole year, Ma.
27:12A whole year, you've been lying to me.
27:17You know, in the last 24 hours, it turns out, not one person is who I thought they were.
27:29But I never thought you would be one of them.
27:34I need some air.
27:54Good morning, Inspector.
27:55Sir, here's Thomas.
27:57Inheritance?
27:57Oh, well, I mean, okay.
28:01That's interesting.
28:03All right, well, thanks.
28:04And also, I wanted to know, so, when was...
28:08What the...
28:08Oh, one second, sir.
28:12Good morning, Inspector.
28:13Sarge.
28:14Sarge.
28:15What's going on, sir?
28:16Well, I went on a walk last night, and I ended up here.
28:20So I thought I'd come and start on the case.
28:22Can we...
28:23Yes, sure.
28:24Sorry, sorry.
28:26Yes, sorry, sorry.
28:27Oh, sorry.
28:29No, sorry.
28:31Oh, sorry.
28:31Yes, yes, come on, yes.
28:33So, um, I'm just on the phone with Sylvie Godwin's bank manager.
28:37And interestingly, the 2.4 million in her account, she inherited it from her husband, Walter Godwin.
28:43Er, the bank manager says she don't know where he got it from, or how Walter got so rich.
28:48It was Walter's money.
28:49Yeah.
28:49And unfortunately, the liar who was handling Walter's will is no longer her own.
28:54So, that's all I got.
28:55Why is there a post-it with post-mortem exclamation mark written on it?
28:59Oh, er, the post-mortem just came in.
29:01It's here somewhere.
29:02Got it.
29:03Under the takeaway.
29:04I will clear that up for you as soon as possible, Sarge.
29:07Sorry about that.
29:07Why is there a pack of toilet roll on my desk?
29:10That's why I went for the walk in the first place.
29:12My new hostmate was that don't forget the toilet roll.
29:16Heem says the victim became unconscious and died of hypoxia and reckoned she was hit with something with a sharp
29:23edge rather than banging her head on the floor.
29:27So we're right.
29:27It was murder.
29:29What are all these prints out on the floor, Sarge?
29:31Oh, that's from, uh, Kariba car hire.
29:34It's in the details of the woman who was seen outside St. Vincent Church, the morning of the murder.
29:38Selina Bascombe, 54 years old, from the UK, Berkshire, arrived here Friday and is staying at the Golden Bay Hotel.
29:47Yeah, yeah, I think she's just a tourist.
29:48There's nothing interesting about her yet.
29:50Well, then you didn't look properly, Seb, because on her passport, she uses her maiden name.
29:58Godwin.
30:00As in Sylvie and Walter Godwin.
30:02How did I miss that, sir?
30:04We need to talk to her right away.
30:06Talking Fletcher.
30:09Yeah, sorry about that.
30:10Hello?
30:12Hello?
30:13Hello?
30:28Seb, this is cool.
30:29You're trying to move the case on, but your head is pinging around all over the place.
30:34It's close to chaos in there.
30:36I understand what it looks like, Sarge, but I've been up all night doing a lot of work,
30:40and I feel like I'm very close to...
30:41You should go home, okay?
30:43Have a shower.
30:44Get yourself straight.
30:45But, Sarge, I need to finish...
30:46I know, I know, but you're not helping right now.
30:50We can't work like this.
30:55All right, Sarge.
30:56All well.
31:05Thanks for coming in, Miss Bascombe.
31:07Please, take a seat.
31:08Walter Godwin was my grandfather.
31:11He was stationed on St. Marie during the Second World War.
31:15When the war ended, he wrote to my grandmother, who was pregnant with my father at the time,
31:22saying that he wasn't coming home, that it was over between them.
31:26And he knew she was pregnant?
31:29Yes, except I don't think it was him who wrote that letter.
31:33I think it was someone else.
31:35I found this on the St. Vincent's Church website.
31:40It's the day that Walter Godwin got married to Sylvie.
31:44Well, that's Sylvie.
31:47But that's not Walter Godwin.
31:50That's not my grandfather, see?
31:51That's not the same man.
31:59So, you realised that someone might have stolen your grandfather's identity?
32:05I know they did.
32:07And you came here to St. Marie to find out who this other Walter Godwin was?
32:13That's why you were at the church Sunday morning, to speak with Sylvie Godwin.
32:20Mrs. Godwin?
32:25So, how did she react when you suggested that the man who she'd been married to for 60-odd years
32:31may not be who she thought he was?
32:33She already knew.
32:36She said that she'd only just found out herself that week.
32:41How?
32:42Well, her plumber had found a box hidden under the floorboards
32:46when he was fixing a pipe.
32:48I'll find out which plumber.
32:50Sylvie said it had the true identity of her husband in it,
32:54all his personal documents,
32:56making clear what happened to my grandfather.
32:59Which was what?
33:02She wouldn't tell me.
33:04She said that she wasn't ready yet
33:07and that she wanted to do it in her own time
33:09and in her own way,
33:12whatever that meant.
33:15I think it meant she wanted to go to the police first about it.
33:19Which must have frustrated you,
33:20coming all this way to be denied the truth.
33:22It is my family!
33:24You have no right to keep this to yourself!
33:26Sorry.
33:27I can't help you.
33:31And in that moment, caught up in it all,
33:33that's when you must have decided...
33:35No, no.
33:35No.
33:36I wouldn't, really.
33:37I wouldn't.
33:39I just left.
33:40I was angry, but I didn't want to hurt her.
33:43I just wanted to know what was in that box.
33:45And now she's dead,
33:47and I don't know where it is.
33:57So, if Sylvie had this box she talked about,
34:01where is it?
34:03Because it wasn't at the crime scene,
34:05and it wasn't at her house.
34:06And if someone did steal Water Godwin's identity,
34:09who?
34:10And what happened to the real Water Godwin?
34:12I just got off the phone with the plumber
34:14who was over at the victim's house last Friday,
34:16said Sylvie looked haunted after she looked inside that box.
34:24About an hour later,
34:26she was getting inside a taxi
34:28saying she needed to go to St Vincent's Primary School.
34:34She went to see Yasmin Seeley.
34:38OK, I'm going to lay it out, Miss Seeley.
34:43I believe it's you who has the missing box.
34:45Sylvie's.
34:47We could get a search warrant, or...
35:06It's a German passport.
35:09From the Second World War, it looks like.
35:12Belonged to...
35:13Joseph Krauss.
35:14It's believed the diptych was taken from a museum in Paris
35:18by a young German soldier called Joseph Krauss.
35:21The last visa stamp showed he left Martinique at the end of the war
35:24and came to St. Marie.
35:29St. Marie Times, September 27th, 1945.
35:34It's a report about an unnamed British soldier
35:38getting into a fight with a group of German naval officers
35:41and left for dead near St Vincent's church.
35:45His body was never found.
35:46I believe that soldier was Walter Godwin, and I think Joseph Krauss came across his body.
35:54Joseph realized he could steal his identity if he could dispose of the body without it being found.
36:01A map of the St Vincent churchyard.
36:05That must be where the real Walter Godwin was buried.
36:09He took Walter's uniform and papers and buried him there, in this grave, so no one would ever find it.
36:17From that moment on, Joseph Krauss was...
36:19Walter Godwin.
36:20I guess he softened his accent as much as he could.
36:23And by the time he and Sylvie met, about 15 years later,
36:27and he seemed like the Englishman she thought he was.
36:29We need to get a forensic diptym over from Guadalupe.
36:37I'm assuming Mr Krauss went to all these lengths because of this?
36:42The Belshaw diptych.
36:44I mean, if the authorities worked out he stole it and came looking for him,
36:48then, with a new identity, they wouldn't find him.
36:51From what I know, he lived a simple life, working as a caretaker for this school.
36:56And when he and Sylvie met, everyone always said they truly loved each other.
37:03That was the day she retired. Handed the baton over to me.
37:09Why have you got this box, Miss Sylvie?
37:14Sylvie brought it with her when she came here on Friday.
37:16I asked her if I could keep it so I could look into it some more.
37:19That's all.
37:20It's entirely innocent.
37:22Not if you didn't tell us about it, it isn't.
37:24Actually, that's suspicious.
37:26Why did you choose to keep it to yourself?
37:33This school is everything to me.
37:37And I can't risk his reputation being damaged.
37:41He's struggling enough as it is, financially.
37:45All we have to keep going is donations, people's goodwill.
37:48And if it ever got out that we had a caretaker working here that wasn't who we thought he was,
37:54was a Nazi soldier who covered up a murder.
38:00So you killed Miss Godwin to stop all this...
38:02No, no, no.
38:04I'm very sorry.
38:05I should have told you about it, I know, but...
38:09I didn't kill her.
38:18So if Joseph Krause sold the Belshazz diptych and had all that money,
38:23then why he never do nothing with it?
38:26Never spend it, nothing.
38:28Perhaps he kept it just in case.
38:30I mean, if the truth ever caught up with him,
38:32then he had the means to change his identity again.
38:38Afternoon, Sergeant Thomas.
38:42The trouble is, we're still no closer to working out who murdered Sylvie Godwin
38:46and then managed to exit the building
38:49when both the front and back door were locked from the inside
38:52with keys inside the lock.
38:57He's buried here.
38:59My grandfather.
39:01We believe so, yes.
39:20Officer Rhodes.
39:22Inspector.
39:24Hey.
39:26Sorry, I'll just take on a moment, you know?
39:31I'll give you some space.
39:33No, no, no.
39:33No, you're all right.
39:35I was just coming in to see if I could make any more sense of it all.
39:39Me too, I guess.
39:41And?
39:43Not much.
39:46Usually, I find it levels me out.
39:50I can feel peace here.
39:55No, sorry I haven't been much use in this investigation.
39:58It's just been a lot for me, you know?
39:59I mean, look, we all have cases that, um, throw us off balance from time to time.
40:04And I've had more than my fair share, trust me.
40:07Right.
40:07See, when I'm thrown by a case, my brain just starts jumping around like some itchy-footed grasshopper, you know?
40:22Well, maybe that is your unique selling point.
40:26So I'd say embrace it.
40:29Own it.
40:31Don't let it own you.
40:33In fact, you know what?
40:35Let's try it.
40:36Let's try it right now, yeah?
40:38Oh.
40:38We visualise it.
40:40Only this time, you are taking the lead.
40:43Okay, come on.
40:44Up you get.
40:45That's it.
40:47Okay.
40:49This is the crime scene.
40:51The murder of Sylvie Godwin.
40:54That door, the front door, is locked from the inside.
40:58The key's in the door.
41:03Sylvie's body is here.
41:07This big wooden cross is on top of her.
41:11Now, come on.
41:14Just freestyle it, yeah?
41:15Just say whatever your brain wants to say.
41:17Um, I'm thinking about when I busted the door open.
41:23I hurt my arm, you know?
41:24When I got home, it was all bruised up.
41:26So I drank some rum to numb the pain.
41:32What not awesome means, it was definitely locked.
41:39Okay, okay.
41:40What else?
41:41Well then, if you were the killer, you'd probably prefer to leave the scene at the back.
41:48Yeah, yeah.
41:48Keep going.
41:49Keep going.
41:49So that way you're less likely to be seen by others.
41:51So, um, maybe we're in the wrong room.
41:56The back room.
41:57Come on.
42:06So what's she saying to you?
42:09This room, well, what's it telling you?
42:13Hmm.
42:14What?
42:15Collection box.
42:17It's just, usually, it sits right there, under the shelf.
42:22Now it looks like it's been pulled out a little bit.
42:30There's a coin in it.
42:32And that's odd because?
42:34Because Miss Godwin empties the collection box every Sunday after the service.
42:39Today's collection passed down.
42:41And she gives the money to my mum.
42:47So, this must have been put in there after she was murdered.
42:52Which means, well then, the killer must have put it there.
42:56That won't go in.
42:59The key's in on the other side.
43:05PM says the victim became unconscious and reckoned she was hit by something with a sharp edge.
43:12Diptic.
43:12A painting or a carving on two panels usually hinge like a book.
43:16Local art historians generally believe it was brought to Saint Marie.
43:27Bingo.
43:30Have you solved the case?
43:32It was actually Officer Rose and his itchy footy grass upper brain that solved it.
43:37I did.
43:38That coin explains everything.
43:41OK, let's move, people.
43:42There's still some things we need to do.
43:44Like, get hold of a search warrant.
43:46And we need the luminol.
43:48Oh, and we need a tape measure.
43:50Why do we need a tape measure?
43:52To measure something.
44:00Way back in 1945, a young British soldier by the name of Walter Godwin was killed here on Saint Marie.
44:09His identity was stolen and his body was hidden in someone else's grave.
44:15Now, finally, thanks to Sylvie Godwin and the discovery of this box, that young man can get the proper burial
44:24he deserves.
44:27Which brings us to the crime in the present.
44:30Sylvie Godwin's murder at St. Vincent's Church on Sunday.
44:33And although it occurred many years after Walter Godwin's murder, this little wooden box and its contents helped solve this
44:40murder as well.
44:43We know from the post-mortem that Sylvie was hit with a sharp object.
44:47This spray, luminol, detects traces of blood.
44:50And this proves that there was blood on the box recently, as you can see here.
44:59Now, we have another time to carry out the relevant tests.
45:03But when our lab compares this blood with Sylvie's, I'm confident they'll match.
45:08And as this box has only been in one person's possession since the murder,
45:12it has led me to believe that Sylvie Godwin's killer was Yasmin Seeley.
45:22What have you done?
45:25That's not true.
45:27Someone else must have taken it on them.
45:31Don't worry, Miss Seeley.
45:32We'll be coming to this in a minute.
45:36Throughout this case, we've worked on the assumption that Sylvie Godwin's husband, real name Joseph Krauss,
45:43had sold the painting he had stolen, which explains why he had so much money in his bank account.
45:49Well, it's half the truth.
45:52Because the unique defining thing about a diptych is that there are two halves to it.
45:58Diptych?
45:59A painting or a carving on two panels usually hinge like a book.
46:02And we now know that Joseph Krauss sold only one half of the Belshaw diptych.
46:10And he kept the other half.
46:19Goodness me.
46:22Now, we'll never fully know why Joseph separated the two panels.
46:26My sense is that he was someone who liked to hedge his bets, be prepared for all eventualities.
46:32I think that's partly why he never spent any of the money.
46:36Plus, having to explain to his wife-to-be how he came into such major coinage would mean admitting to
46:43the theft of this famous piece of art and also being an imposter.
46:47So, Joseph held on to the money and the picture.
46:53So, where has it been the last 80-odd years or so?
46:57Hanging on the wall of the headmistress's office at the St. Vincent's Primary School, which is now your office, Miss
47:06Seeley.
47:11Joseph Krauss must have put it there during his years as caretaker.
47:14And no one ever thought anything of it, this faded religious icon hanging on the wall of a church school
47:23surrounded by other religious images.
47:26Earlier today, Miss Seeley, when we talked in your office, I saw that framed photo on the wall of Sylvie
47:34and Walter, and I happened to notice the outline of a larger rectangle around that frame where the paint hadn't
47:41faded.
47:42Clearly, another picture had previously hung there for some time.
47:46I didn't think much of it at first, but I had it measured.
47:51And guess what? It was 50 centimetres by 30 centimetres.
47:56The exact same dimensions as one half of the Belshaw diptyk.
48:01Each panel measures 50 by 30 centimetres.
48:04That's why Mrs. Godwin came to see you when she found the box and realised what was hanging on her
48:12old office wall.
48:14We can't keep it.
48:16I'm going to let the police know.
48:18But you didn't agree, did you?
48:21You told us your school was struggling for money.
48:24But we had a bit of a dig, and it's worse than that.
48:29You've not drawn a salary in the last six months to keep it going.
48:34You said yourself the place meant so much to you.
48:37And so the prospect of getting millions of dollars just landing in your lap,
48:44Well, you just weren't willing to give that up.
48:47And so, after driving home to pick up food for Lorette's lunch gathering,
48:53you returned to the church to plead with Sylvie one more time.
48:57Please don't do it.
48:59That money, it could help the school so much.
49:03It could help me.
49:04But Sylvie wasn't fraternity, was she?
49:06I'm desperate.
49:08As Officer Rose said, she always tried to do good in life, and she wasn't about to stop now.
49:14Sorry.
49:15So in that moment, desire for the money got the better of you, and you decided you were going to
49:20stop her.
49:20I assume Sylvie had that box with her in the church that day.
49:25And this box was your weapon of choice.
49:30And once you used it to kill her, you made it look like there'd been some tragic accident.
49:43How could you?
49:47Now, knowing that the front door of the church had already been locked by Mrs. Godwin,
49:52you made your escape via the rear,
49:54using the church's spare backdoor key that you took from the back room
49:59to lock the door from the outside,
50:02and placing this little coin in the lock.
50:13It's locked.
50:14So that when you returned with Officer Rose and Lorette...
50:17That won't go in.
50:18And with the little play acting,
50:20it would seem like the door was locked from the inside.
50:23The key's in on the other side.
50:26Then when Officer Rose and his mum headed round to the front,
50:29you lingered briefly,
50:31and proceeded to open the door with the church's spare key,
50:34pushing this coin out in the process,
50:37and then inserting that key inside.
50:42All you had to do was find the moment to actually lock it.
50:46OK, thank you.
50:49I'm going to sit on this for you.
50:52Seeing the coin on the floor, you picked it up.
50:57And without your bag or purse,
51:01you disposed of it in the collection box.
51:07And then actually locked the back door with the key.
51:13It was very clever of you,
51:16making it look like Sylvie was on her own in the church
51:19when she had that fatal fall.
51:21One might say, devilishly so.
51:24But you see, Sylvie was so determined
51:27that the truth would come out,
51:29that even after her death,
51:30her desire to put right a decades-old wrong
51:33finally won out.
51:36This arrived for me in the morning post.
51:43Officer Rose,
51:45I think Mr. Rest has your name on it.
51:51Get up.
51:55He has my ceiling.
51:57I'm arresting you for the murder of Sylvie, Godwin.
52:00You don't need to say anything.
52:01You don't need to be hung in the face,
52:02you don't need to make sure your question's answered.
52:04I think she had to die on the court.
52:10Excuse me, Sarge.
52:12I'll be a second.
52:14Sylvie, I'll be a second.
52:17May I open you?
52:19Mum.
52:26You all right?
52:28I can't believe what that woman's done.
52:32Poor Sylvie.

52:43case
