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 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.
01:44Hello.
01:46Either that's him, or we've come to a soup kitchen by mistake.
01:53Hello, Charles.
01:55Cara, it's been a while, hasn't it?
01:58Death!
01:58Oh, er...
02:01Stop here.
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,
02:53to...
02:53to where it happened.
02:55If you fancy joining,
02:56you remember him together.
02:57No, I'd rather stay here.
02:59With Rory.
03:13Come on.
03:18Come on.
03:19Poor guy.
03:29All right, Willetto.
03:57It's just a bad dream.
04:03Yeah.
04:06How have you been?
04:08Just went for a walk.
04:09That's all.
04:12Thanks.
05:11Good morning, sir.
05:12You good?
05:13No.
05:14I am not good.
05:16What's wrong?
05:18Turns out, I am an uncle.
05:20Yes, Mum.
05:21Yes, I understand.
05:23But I came to visit Uncle Merv anyway.
05:26That's Eloise, the niece I didn't know I had.
05:29So you're her uncle Merv.
05:31No, I'm not.
05:33I mean, yes, I am her uncle, but not Merv.
05:35Never Merv.
05:36Understood?
05:36Okay.
05:38Clearly touched a nerve there.
05:41Well, I kind of miss him.
05:42So she's Solomon's daughter?
05:44I don't know why he couldn't just tell me that in the first place.
05:46He could have just said, well, as it happens, I do have a daughter.
05:49Are he and her mother together?
05:51Yeah, not for some time, apparently.
05:53She's supposed to be staying with her Auntie Merv.
05:55But she doesn't like it better.
05:56So she ran away and came here.
05:59They've got a case, I assume.
06:01Oh, my God.
06:02It's not a murder case, is it?
06:05Please let me come on a ride along Uncle Merv.
06:08Please.
06:08Right.
06:09So firstly, you're not coming on any ride along.
06:13And secondly, it's not Uncle Merv.
06:15It's Mervyn.
06:16Remember?
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.
06:28You'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 post guard now.
06:51A couple of fishermen going out early this morning
06:53came 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 when we're horrible.
07:03Why is that?
07:04Because of those marks on his body.
07:08They're all over his front and his back.
07:10And the bruising here.
07:12Some people are saying it was caused by the Losca.
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 wraps its tentacles around you,
07:27drags you under.
07:28Hence...
07:29A sea monster?
07:30Not everybody believes in this thing.
07:32Most people don't.
07:33But...
07:34Do you?
07:35No, but it's still part of our history.
07:39Part of our culture.
07:40Right.
07:40Well, we can knock that theory on the head as a possible cause of death, alright?
07:44Except there's a little more to it than that, sir.
07:47That's why he's here.
07:52Oh.
07:56I've always wondered whether this would come back to haunt me.
08:00Seven years ago yesterday, Giles Parry's 16-year-old son, Benjamin, drowned at Sioux.
08:08In the exact same location as Giles's body was found this morning.
08:15A local fisherman told me that Mr. Parry had sailed out to that spot yesterday to pay his respects.
08:24Then he ended up dead himself.
08:28Was he stormy yesterday?
08:30Called the harbour master.
08:32It was calm for the last 24 hours.
08:34Do we know what time he left the harbour?
08:36Just before seven o'clock, according to the GPS.
08:40Also, there's a boat mechanic who's been fixing Mr. Parry's engine.
08:43He saw him leave.
08:45He says there was definitely nobody else on the boat with him.
08:48It's arrived at the final destination half an hour later.
08:51Radar shows no other boat near it at any point.
08:54So, what happened to him?
08:57How did he end up dead with all those weird markings on him?
09:00Unless, you know, it was the last guy.
09:06I hate to break it to you, Officer Rose, but sea monsters don't exist.
09:09No, yeah, I know.
09:12But, it'd be cool if they did do all right.
09:15What's that?
09:24It's a bullet.
09:26Our victim wasn't shot, right?
09:29No.
09:30And there was no gun found on the boat?
09:32Not that I've found so far.
09:38So, what is that doing here?
09:48I don't know what happened on that boat, but the fact that we found this on it means it's suspicious.
09:55I think someone else was there, you know?
10:02I'm going to talk to Catherine.
10:05From what I know, James Parry was an isolated figure, but he did drink at her bar and he would
10:11talk to her.
10:13I'm also going to contact the Guadalupe police and request the Benjamin Parry case files.
10:20So, the search back then wasn't led by the St. Marie team?
10:23As it was, the Guadalupe Coast Guard, who was first contacted when the empty boat was discovered, they stayed there
10:31clean.
10:33I bet that ran cold.
10:34I did push for us to have a role, but the senior investigating officer wasn't interested.
10:44There's some people on St. Marie who think I should have pressed harder, especially when they ran into a dead
10:52end earlier on.
10:55It's always been felt more could have been done, not by me.
11:05Considering I am already persona non grata, I would like to do my bit to try and solve this case
11:14now and win back the community's trust.
11:18I've located the victim's ex-wife. She and her partner are staying at a hotel just outside Tom.
11:33We arrived here two days ago to mark the anniversary of Cara's son's passing.
11:39I'm sorry to ask, Miss Smart, but your son Benjamin, why did he take the boat out on his own?
11:46Giles had always been into UFOs and aliens, that kind of thing.
11:52Our holidays were spent visiting Loch Ness or the Bermuda Triangle.
11:57The Losca here on St. Marie.
11:59Ben was getting even more fanatical than his dad.
12:02That's why he snuck out on his own.
12:05He took the boat we'd hired out for a last ditch sighting of the Losca.
12:10The weather turned bad. The sea was rough. He never came back.
12:20I kept hoping they'd find him alive with a life jacket on, just floating somewhere.
12:26As time passed, you have to accept that he's not coming back.
12:31So you returned home to England?
12:34After ten months, Giles and I were arguing non-stop by then.
12:39I just needed some space, some time to process it all.
12:44Whereas he...
12:45He...
12:48Giles was convinced the Losca took their son. He became obsessed.
12:53That's why he stayed on here when I left. To try and prove the Losca exists.
13:00And he really, truly believed in it.
13:05And yesterday, did you see Giles at all?
13:09We had an early dinner at five.
13:11It's great to finally meet you, Giles.
13:13And how was that? How was Giles then?
13:16It was fine. You know, quiet.
13:19Giles was Giles.
13:21Still as delusional as he ever was.
13:24Did Giles ever own a gun at all?
13:26Not like we were together.
13:28And I struggled to leave. He bought one while he was out here.
13:32What exactly happened to Giles?
13:34You said that he was found dead at sea.
13:36I assumed it was an accident.
13:38But is there more to it than that?
13:41Well, we're not sure yet.
13:44We're still working on that one.
13:54Hey, my friend's dad smearsie saw the Losca one time.
13:57Okay, son. Come on.
13:59Never the same afterwards.
14:02Keep our focus on the keys.
14:06Keep our focus on the keys.
14:29Keep our focus on the keys.
14:31Aunty Vondra.
14:32I mean, Vondra.
14:40Vondra, Vondra.
14:41It's all right.
14:42She's back at my place.
14:43She's safe.
14:44Thanks.
14:44Okay, look.
14:45I'll call you back in a bit.
14:47Mo?
14:49Hey, Uncle Mo.
14:51Hoping hungry.
14:52I ordered lots.
14:54Which reminds me.
14:55I borrowed your credit card this morning.
14:57Needed it to pay for the boat ticket back to St. Marie.
14:59And dinner.
15:00You really are your father's daughter, aren't you?
15:03I know, right?
15:05What'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 a boat back home.
15:23All right.
15:24What about your dad?
15:27We need to work out a plan, Uncle Merv.
15:29A plan for what?
15:30To get him out of prison.
15:32To find evidence that proves he's innocent.
15:36Okay.
15:38What exactly did your dad tell you about him being arrested?
15:41Just that he was set up and shouldn't 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?
16:07So, you idiots.
16:11We need to help him.
16:29Solomon clearly hasn't told her about the scam he got caught up in.
16:32That he is as good as shot someone.
16:35And held me hostage.
16:38He's dressed it up like he was the victim.
16:41and she obviously idolizes him what are you going to do i should just tell her the truth
16:47right just tell her in a nice way not in a your kind of way what is a my kind
16:58of way
16:58you know sometimes you can be a tiny bit insensitive insensitive me insensitive
17:08that is rubbish i mean if anything it's everyone else who is too sensitive sure that's totally what it is
17:19hey louise
17:22right um i'm off to work now so we can have dinner later yeah and we'll um we'll talk
17:33okay uncle mark old school i like it
17:45right where we at with the case anything from the lab yet
17:50post-mortem's estimating time of death between 7 30 and 8 p.m
17:53so the victim leaves the harbor at seven dies between 7 30 and 8 out at sea
18:01just after he drops anchor and cause of death was internal bleeding due to a ruptured spleen
18:09which in theory could have been caused by something gripping him tightly like
18:15the tentacles of the lusk or more likely something else
18:23same with the red markings kind of like friction burns but there's nothing at the scene to suggest
18:29what might have caused it what about the search of the victim's house
18:33uh mattia and seb are just starting
18:51sarge you have to see this ten-year-old seb will be losing his mind right now
18:58like sea monster central in here
19:04this is gonna be the best search ever
19:06all right officer rose you start on the computer i'll hit the cabinets
19:10ah cool
19:18you all right sarge
19:20yeah it's just my old boss from jamaica i'll call him once we're done with this
19:35so what do we know about our victim
19:36giles parry worked as a paramedic back in the uk until he moved out here seven years ago
19:42spent all his savings buying a boat and earned a small income giving talks about the legend of the luska
19:49what about these two any sniff of the motive yet we're still waiting on mr lions's background and
19:55financial checks but he and kara have been together just over a year met on a dating app
20:00now as he only met the victim for the first time yesterday i'm struggling to find a reason for him
20:05wanting mr parry dead but she's a different story miss smart previously worked as a teacher before
20:12giving that up to write a book a few years ago a memoir about losing her son i skim read
20:19it and she's
20:20very honest about how hurt and angry she felt about giles's behavior
20:25when i needed my husband's love the most he disappeared down the rabbit hole of fantasy
20:30casting me aside for his futile belief in a mythical beast
20:34i mean the guy had gone full-on looney tune didn't he
20:38what was that you said earlier about not being insensitive
20:42where it gets interesting is the books no longer bringing in any money she's basically broke i spoke
20:49to her literary agent in the uk and apparently a u.s tv production company has offered to make a
20:56documentary about her and joss's son going missing it's worth a quarter of a million dollars
21:03i'm sensing a but it going ahead was dependent on mr parry agreeing to appear in the documentary too
21:12don't tell me he didn't want to
21:20so we spoke to the staff here well that dinner you had with giles it wasn't as sedate as you
21:26said it
21:26was according to them you got quite worked up miss smart angry that your ex-husband was refusing to
21:34agree to the documentary well that's an exaggeration if ever i heard one no it's not it's the truth
21:38just please i need this why are you being so stubborn because i know what they'll do make me
21:44have to look like some mad conspiracy theorist i hate you joss so much
21:51i didn't just lose a son seven years ago i lost my husband as well he never once thought of
21:58me that
21:59maybe he needed to be there for me and even now years later i asked for his help because
22:06yes i need the money i thought at least he owed me that one favor but no not even that
22:13thing is miss
22:14smart we checked with the production company and that documentary has officially got the go ahead
22:18so now with giles dying in suspicious circumstances and even the locals saying it was the lusker that
22:23did it 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 visit this
22:39so you want to tell me where you were two nights ago between 7 30 and 8. we were here
22:44at the hotel
22:46we were together in our room it wasn't me it just wasn't
23:00that was mattie she's with the commissioner they've got something
23:12this is the closest i've come to actually seeing it the lusker i'm still shaking from what happened
23:19if ever there was proof she's out there this is it i've moored my boat a few miles out that
23:23coordinates are 16 degrees 32 minutes 29.8 seconds north 61 degrees 55 minutes 0 1.8 seconds west
23:33there's a sinkhole on the seabed there i previously identified as a possible home 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 lusker i'm gonna go back again tonight totally amazing
24:05just to confirm no one here actually thinks it was the lusker that was underneath giles parry's boat
24:11well i'm not ruling it out inspector apart from officer rose no of course we don't but there is more
24:18to it giles parry uploaded this vlog to his website two days before his death we checked his gps and
24:25he
24:25went back to the same exact location the next night here and this isn't the same location giles's body was
24:34found where his son benjamin went missing no that was two miles away here but the thing is when giles
24:41got back he deleted this video straight away so why catherine spoke to him shortly after and he seemed
24:49troubled everything all right giles
24:55he asked me about the commissioner knew i was friends with him and said he might need to speak
25:02with him is it to do with benjamin's disappearance i don't know maybe
25:16hang on these are the same coldness he talked about in his vlog now i don't know what happened
25:20there but it's clearly of significance
25:26we should go out there do a reenactment yeah same time same place same boat find out what this x
25:32is
25:33all about i was so hoping you was gonna see that inspector i can't believe you're going on a monster
25:38hunt that's not what we're doing that's not what you're doing
25:49i don't understand if you're going on a boat trip why can't i come because it might be dangerous
25:56well then i really want to come well you can't you're staying with catherine tonight
26:00and we're getting you home first thing in the morning all right but we need to talk about dad still
26:10okay look about your dad i don't know what he told you but it certainly wasn't factual what he was
26:17arrested for it's serious and i should know because i was there when it happened what are you saying
26:26hey louise listen there was no miscarriage of justice all right he wasn't falsely accused your
26:34dad is guilty so no i can't help you find new evidence and he'll be in prison for a while
26:43i'm sorry
26:46so what happens now i just go back home in the morning
26:51yeah of course i mean that's where your mom is right and yeah you don't understand with me

27:03so what's your problem this must be eloise it's nice to meet you hey thanks for looking after me
27:39hey inspector ready for mr car start
27:42uh-huh you know sir this isn't exactly the safest boat i've been on the two life rings there are
27:50missing their ropes so let's hope no one goes overboard
28:02is that the benjamin perry case for oh just arrived from guadeloupe commissioners making a start going
28:38and threw it out
28:42of course i got a couple of missed calls from my old bus in jamaica today and i haven't called
28:49him
28:49back because i think i know what it's to do with he fought me as well actually
28:56the more dire was acquitted on all costs he's a free man i'm sorry have you told any of the
29:07team
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
29:18messed up on a case but not that the two were connected that 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 thank you officer rose
29:38aye aye captain aye aye
29:48must have been frustrating not having oversight of that case
30:00the loska 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 loska
30:15sure so like it is can you see anything outside no nothing me neither anything now over here
30:22there's something moving where yes thomas there's something down there i can see you moving
30:27sergeant fletcher what are you doing that ain't no sea monster
30:50that's kevin mason he runs a boat excursion business in the harbor there's some sort of box under
30:57It looks like it's time to wait. Stop it moving.
31:14Inspector, here's the box we salvaged from the sea.
31:19Your gun. We found on your jet scheme, Mr Mason.
31:26Your keys. Let's see if one of these fits, shall we?
31:33Your box.
31:45Cocaine, I'm guessing.
31:47Around two kilos. You'll be charged for this.
31:54Look, I'm just the middle man, alright? I don't sell it. I don't buy it. I just make some extra
32:00money moving it from A to B.
32:01Giles Parry was on to you, wasn't he? At first he thought it was the Luska making those noises beneath
32:07his boat.
32:11I didn't know he'd moored above me. Couldn't stop myself from hitting it when I came back up. That's what
32:16he heard. Me banging against the bottom of his boat.
32:19And when he went to the same location a second time to try and cut sight of it...
32:24Sir, the Luska. I'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 harbour...
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.
32:48Helped him with his research a couple of times, so...
32:50I thought he might give me a chance.
32:53And?
32:54He told me he'd think about it.
32:57But...
32:58Didn't reckon he could ignore it.
33:01The next thing he's found floating six miles out at sea, dead.
33:04I didn't do that to him, I swear!
33:07His gun of yours.
33:08What calibre is it?
33:10It's a nine millimetre.
33:11Why?
33:12Because we found a nine millimetre 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
33:25when Giles' son disappeared as a witness.
33:28Everybody around the harbour was.
33:30Was that got to do with anything?
33:32So, that also is just a coincidence?
33:36Yes, it is.
33:38Look, if it wasn't you, then where were you at 7.30 the night Giles Perry was murdered?
33:43Um...
33:44I was taking a drink with a guy who works for me.
33:47A fella named Jackson.
33:50You fancy another?
33:51Call him, ask him, he'll tell you.
33:53I swear!
33:57But...
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 to see if he changed his mind about talking with the police.
34:13When I turned the corner, he was arguing with someone.
34:18Giles called him Rory.
34:20I know your game, Rory.
34:22Giles said he had evidence of some kind.
34:25I didn't hear what.
34:27But he took out this folder and he gave it to him.
34:29Now that the Rory fella, he didn't seem too happy.
34:33Got a bit physical.
34:35He shoved Giles.
34:37Giles fell over and hurt himself.
34:40Then what did you do?
34:41I turned and left.
34:58Right, let's get over to the hotel.
35:00Let's interview our new suspect.
35:06Sir, with respect, shouldn't we just focus on solving the Giles Perry case right now?
35:13This isn't a Cole case investigation.
35:15And we've got a new lead now.
35:17I just have this feeling the answer lies right here in front of me.
35:21If only I knew what it was.
35:23Okay.
35:28I admit we argued, Giles and I.
35:31It was more than an argument, Mr Lyons, from what we were told.
35:36Things might have got a bit physical, but what he was saying upset me.
35:40Which was what exactly?
35:41That I was only with Cara for her money.
35:46Rory only told me about this last night.
35:49Giles had scrabbled together enough money to pay a private investigator to look into Rory and his ex.
35:57That's what he found.
36:01So your previous partner invested in your business, which went bankrupt.
36:09She's still chasing you for money?
36:11It was a total mess I made.
36:13Financially.
36:15And personally.
36:17Everything in that file.
36:19It's all true.
36:20Apart from the suggestion that I'm doing the same again with Cara because I'm not.
36:24I think that's why Giles wouldn't agree to the documentary.
36:27He thought that Rory would take the money.
36:29But I don't want a penny.
36:31I just want to be with Cara.
36:34So why did you follow Mr Perry then to the harbour after dinner?
36:38Because he was being so unforgiving towards Cara.
36:41Saying that she was using their son's tragedy to line her own pockets.
36:44I wanted him to know the truth.
36:46I 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.
37:14I think it threw him.
37:15Then he picked up his things and got on his boat.
37:19And that's the last time you saw him?
37:23Mr Lyons?
37:24Rory?
37:27He phoned me when I got back to the hotel about half an hour later.
37:33He was out at sea.
37:35What did he say?
37:38He asked if I loved Cara.
37:41Like he needed to get it confirmed.
37:44And you said?
37:49Yes, I do.
37:51So very much.
37:57Then he just hung up.
38:17So a few minutes before he dies,
38:19Giles Parry phones his ex-wife's new partner
38:22to ask if he loves her.
38:24That doesn't sound like he was being attacked by a sea monster
38:26or murdered.
38:28Nope.
38:29It sounds to me like a guy who'd
38:31finally made his peace with the world.
38:33Which kind of makes me wonder.
38:35You know.
38:37Did Giles Parry take his own life?
38:39But then try to make it look like it was the Lusker that did it
38:42to prove to everyone that it was right all along?
38:46That doesn't feel right.
38:48Anyway, that doesn't explain the bullet.
38:50Why was that there?
38:51So what happened?
38:53He was alone on that boat,
38:55six miles out at sea,
38:56and our three suspects were all on dry land when he died.
39:00How and why did he end up dead?
39:06Maybe these two have the answer.
39:09Just come straight from the lab.
39:11Police 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.
39:19Same make, same calibre, but...
39:21Hang on.
39:21No striation marks at all.
39:23Said they've been worn away by...
39:27...incrustation of marine organisms.
39:29Corrosion patterns suggest that bullet has been on the seabed
39:32for six to eight years.
39:34Basically, they're just saying the bullet is some sea debris.
39:36But that doesn't explain how we ended up on the boat in the first place.
39:47Did Giles Pyro take his own life?
39:49The two lifericks there are missing their ropes.
39:52Giles Pyro worked as a paramedic back in the UK until he moved out here seven years ago.
39:57Not that the Rory fella, he didn't seem too happy.
40:00Got a bit... physical.
40:02Is it to do with Benjamin's disappearance?
40:05I don't know.
40:06He asked if I loved Kara.
40:09Bingo.
40:10I know what happened to Giles.
40:12And how he ended up dead like that.
40:28Sir.
40:30We cracked the case.
40:31Benjamin Parry's disappearance.
40:33I think I know what happened.
40:39Spot the difference.
41:00We have a lot to thank this little bullet for.
41:04It's helped us make sense of the present and the past.
41:08In the present, it's what solved the mystery of your ex-husband's death, Miss Smart.
41:13Leading me to finally understand why and how Giles Parry's body was found dead in the water,
41:19looking like the Lusker, the legendary sea monster he'd spent seven years searching for,
41:25had finally caught up with him.
41:26And in terms of the past?
41:29We'll come to that, surely.
41:31Throughout this case, we've worked on the basis that whatever happened to Mr. Parry,
41:36it all happened at the same time while he was out at sea.
41:40But we've now realised that his injuries were actually sustained in two separate locations.
41:48The first injury, the bruising to his stomach and the rupturing of his spleen,
41:53that happened on dry land, down by the harbour, when you and he tussled Rory.
42:00You're saying it was me?
42:02You will be charged with involuntary manslaughter.
42:05We know you didn't mean to kill Giles, far from it.
42:09However, his subsequent fall from your push caused a serious internal injury.
42:17He just didn't know it at the time.
42:20Oh, my God.
42:22Giles was totally unaware that his life was slipping away.
42:25That's why he walked away from you, got on his boat and went out to sea.
42:31He was probably already a few miles out when he started to feel ill.
42:36Initially, some discomfort in his abdomen, feeling faint, feverish.
42:43But it was only by the time he reached his destination six miles from land
42:48that he fully comprehended what was happening.
42:53We know Giles used to be a paramedic,
42:56so it's safe to assume he worked out what was wrong,
43:00that he had minutes left to live.
43:04I'm so sorry.
43:06And if his imminent death wasn't a grim enough prospect,
43:09Mr. Parry also realised 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
43:20he had with you, Mr. Lyons, and subsequently some time in prison.
43:24And knowing what you told him about yourself and Kara wanting to start a family,
43:30well, he didn't want to inflict any further suffering on you both.
43:33That's why he phoned and asked Rory if he loved me.
43:38That's why he needed to know, to be sure.
43:42Do you love her?
43:43He could protect you both by making it look like he killed himself.
43:52It was Dias Tomasi who noticed the ropes were missing from the life rings on Giles's boat.
43:57The two life rings there are missing their ropes, so let's hope no one goes overboard.
44:01I didn't think anything of it at first.
44:04But then when I started to understand what happened that day,
44:08that's when I realised why those ropes weren't there.
44:16And hopefully this call will confirm it.
44:20Yeah?
44:21They found the ropes tied to the boat's spare battery on the seabed.
44:25Okay. Thank you, Sergeant Fletcher.
44:30So, we think Giles knew that if he tied those ropes around his body tightly enough,
44:36then leave red markings.
44:38Friction burns.
44:39And therefore, when his body was found, he hoped this would also explain his internal injuries.
44:45The bruising.
44:46All so it would misdirect from you, Mr. Lyons.
44:51Any similarities to the Luska was a coincidence.
44:54If that's what happened, why was his body found floating on the surface?
44:59Because 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.
45:15We can't be sure.
45:17But there it was.
45:19A single bullet.
45:21In the same spot his son went missing.
45:25And after his recent discovery of the smuggling that was going on out at sea,
45:29not far from the same spot,
45:31Giles is already beginning to suspect that his son's, your son's disappearance,
45:35might have been for more sinister reasons.
45:38Is it to do with Benjamin's disappearance?
45:41Maybe.
45:42Maybe.
45:42So we believe he loosened the rope, grabbed the bullet,
45:47and allowed himself to float to the surface, determined to cling to life as long as possible.
45:55But by then, it was already too late for him to climb back on board his boat.
45:59So with his life ebbing away, Giles 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.
46:17But maybe Ben'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?
46:38That bullet we found, it turns out it's been sat on the seabed for the last seven years.
46:46In the exact same location, Giles and Kara's son went missing.
46:52It was fired from your gun to kill Benjamin Parry.
46:58But he drowned at sea. Why are you no saying he was shot?
47:08This photograph was taken the day before Benjamin went missing.
47:14It's of him and his father outside your office.
47:20And this was taken by one of the Guadalupe police officers the day after he disappeared.
47:28Your witness statement is unremarkable in every way apart from this photograph.
47:37I had to get the magnifying glass out to really notice.
47:41But in this photograph of Benjamin and his father, the wall behind your desk is set farther back from the
47:51window than it is in this photograph of you where it appears 40 or 50 centimeters closer to it.
48:01Which left me wondering why less than 48 hours later your 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.
48:25And if he was, then it would be discovered that he'd been shot.
48:33Whereas if you hid his body and everybody assumed he drowned at sea, then maybe you'd get away with it.
48:45But where to hide it?
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 the last seven years, you have nothing to worry about.
49:04But if I am right, now is your chance to start talking.
49:24That morning, seven years ago, it was real early.
49:34But when I got back up with the day's delivery, he was there recording me on his phone for evidence.
49:44I mean, stupid idiot.
49:47Why would you do that?
49:48Because you left me no choice.
49:51I had to act fast.
49:53So I got the lockbox.
49:55Which you moved to a new location, two miles away, where your smuggling continued.
50:04Until Giles Parry discovered what you were doing all these years.
50:09And Benjamin Parry's body?
50:16I took it ashore.
50:20I put them in one of the cases with all the diving gear.
50:25It's airtight, so...
50:28I spent the whole day getting everything I needed for that wall.
50:34Spent the whole night building it.
50:37And I have lived with it every day since.
50:42Mind how you go?
50:43And y'all let me know how it went, huh?
50:46You're with real pirate royalty now, huh?
50:49Knowing that poor boy is stuck behind that wall will haunt me forever.
51:00Galvin Mason, I am arresting you for the murder of Benjamin Parry.
51:05You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention my question.
51:10Something.
51:19This call is from a person currently in prison in Antigua.
51:26Solomon.
51:27I know you said you didn't want anything to do with me no more, but this isn't about me.
51:31It's about Eloise.
51:33I know she ran away from her aunt and came to you because she doesn't like it, dear.
51:36No, it's because you told her you were innocent and I'd get you out.
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.
51:47She does a bit.
51:49I told her some things.
51:51That you were...
51:53a good man.
51:56Solomon, I can't...
51:57You are a man.
52:00I know I'm not.
52:02I have made a mess of pretty much everything in my life, but that's why I'm asking you this one
52:06thing.
52:07This one fear of her.
52:10Her mum and aunt are cool, but...
52:11she's her dad's girl, you know?
52:14Me and her...
52:16is something special.
52:19And her stupid father's got himself stuck in prison, so what?
52:23She really needs her uncle in her life right now.
52:26Because you're the closest thing she's got to me.
52:37So, that's the queen.
52:40She's the one to keep her eye on.
52:42All you have to do...
52:43is find the lady.
52:53This one.
52:55Hmm.
53:02Wrong again...
53:04was...
53:05here...
53:06all along.
53:23I've had people arrested in Covent Garden for that, you know?
53:25Your dad taught you out soon.
53:31Look, I'm...
53:33I'm not good at this kind of thing.
53:35OK?
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 wanna 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,
54:41It means the world to me.
54:43So I'd like to thank the St. Marie Police Force for all their hard work in achieving this.
54:50It's a divert from the station.
54:51When all hope is lost.
54:54And it seems like you might never get the answer.
54:56Yeah.
54:59But I'd especially like to thank Commissioner Selwyn Patterson
55:04for uncovering a truth that no 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.
55:32So I got diverged.
55:33It's for you.
55:34Some guy named Damon?
55:36I mean, said to give him a card when he got that charm.
55:59Gonna go eat, Inspector.
56:01Sarge, Inspector's niece.
56:03Catherine invited us all.
56:05It feels like there's a lot to celebrate.
56:07And you can build up a hunger when you're hunting sea monsters, you know?
56:11Sea monsters?
56:12You didn't tell me we're hunting sea monsters.
56:14That's because we weren't.
56:16Well, not all of us anyway.
56:18Alright, Eloise, this is Commissioner Patterson, my boss.
56:21It's a pleasure to meet you.
56:24You too.
56:25Right, let's go. Come on.
56:26You like playing card games, Commissioner Patterson?
56:29Alright, let's not start going down that road, young lady.
56:32The man speak for himself.
56:34As it happens, I do like playing cards.
56:37It's not the kind of card she wants to play.
56:39Honestly, Commissioner.
56:39In fact, everyone, do not play cards with this girl.
56:42Uncle Murph!
56:43Oh!
56:51Was she just trying to hustle the Commissioner?
56:55Yeah.
56:56Welcome to my family.
57:20Death in Paradise will return.
57:23Who's watching who and who can be trusted? That's the question.
57:27in the new series of The Capture.
57:29Watch now on iPlayer.
57:31Here on BBC One, joining Claudia later, Jimmy Carr and Jamie Dornan.
57:35That's at 10.40 after the news.
57:37You're wondering now what to do.
57:41Now you know this is the end.
57:44Yes, sir!
57:45Nope, just Healthguard no.
57:52That's right.
