00:00I've just got to sign an NDA, you know, so...
00:01That's cool, Mum.
00:03Pleased for you.
00:04Guys, guys, we've got a situation.
00:06Like, a bad one.
00:07Rich is a no-show.
00:08His phone's going straight to voicemail.
00:09I think we all know where Prospero's total after you.
00:17There it is.
00:25I guess our last night was always going to be a mad one.
00:28After the way this tour's gone.
00:31But we both made it to the end.
00:43No, never, no more.
00:47Rich.
00:49Rich, come on.
00:51Rich, we've got to go.
00:53Skedaddle, youth.
00:54Rich, come on, there's an audience.
00:56They've paid to see us.
00:57To see you.
00:59Come on, you're not going to let them down, are you?
01:06It's all right, come on.
01:07Hey, hey.
01:12Oh!
01:20Oh, sweet Lord.
01:22Mr Dempster.
01:24You doing okay?
01:25Of course I am.
01:26Why wouldn't I be?
01:27Just a little dry around the mouth, that's all.
01:29Final call for Miranda.
01:30Act one, scene two.
01:30Final call, Miranda.
01:34Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
01:35That's a prop.
01:38Oh, no, no, no, no.
01:40Oh, no, no.
01:41Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...
01:49Then to sea boys and go hay.
01:57This is a scurvy tune.
02:02But here's my comfort.
02:04Do not torment me.
02:06Whoa, what's the matter?
02:08Have we devils here?
02:10If all the wine in my bottle will recover him,
02:14I will help his ague.
02:20That's a brave god.
02:22And bear celestial liquor.
02:24Come, our men.
02:25I will pour some in thy other mouth.
02:33Stefano!
02:35Lost thy other mouth, call me.
02:37Why, this is a devil and no monster.
02:40Stefano, I am Trinculo.
02:41Be not afeard.
02:43Thy good friend, Trinculo.
02:45Very Trinculo indeed.
02:48I swear upon that bottle to be thy true subject.
02:51I'll show thee every fertile inch o' the island.
02:57Mikey.
02:59Mikey.
03:01Aye, prithee.
03:05Let me show thee where crabs grow.
03:08And with my long nails, I'll dig thee pig...
03:14Pig nuts.
03:17Whoa.
03:19Oh, my God, Michael.
03:23Nathan, we need our first aid here.
03:25Michael, put it to me.
03:28Oh, my God, he's not breathing.
03:30Someone call an ambulance.
03:33Oh, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my
03:40God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my
03:40God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my
03:40God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my
03:40God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my
03:40God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my
03:41God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my
03:41God, my God, my God, my God,
04:14Yes, Thomas, what's up?
04:16Are you at the shot, sir?
04:17Is that how I am?
04:18Practicing my darts.
04:20Oh.
04:20Can't say you don't need it.
04:22Since I've got myself a decent set of arrows, my form has improved.
04:27Get in!
04:29I'm presuming this isn't a social call.
04:31You've got a case.
04:32A suspected poisoning occurred during a theatre performance.
04:36The victim collapsed on stage.
04:37What?
04:38You sure it wasn't an accident?
04:39According to paramedics, the symptoms suggest it's cyanide poisoning.
04:43Interesting.
04:44No!
04:45Are you everything all right?
04:49I think I might have just nearly killed Harry.
04:53What are you doing, man?
04:54You can't play on here.
04:55It's not safe.
04:57Oh, God.
05:00Michael Farrar, 32 years old, suddenly collapsed halfway through the second act of the performance.
05:07The Tempest, the poster said.
05:09Yeah.
05:09Last 10 months they've been touring beaches all over the world with it.
05:12This was their final performance.
05:14Sergeant Fletch has taken all the necessary statements.
05:17Caliban, I'll take it.
05:18One sec, let me check.
05:20Um.
05:22Yes.
05:22Yes, he was.
05:24I mean, two points for you, Inspector.
05:26How did you work that out?
05:27Well, he looks monster-y, you know.
05:30Not human.
05:32I assume the smell of almonds got the paramedics thinking it was cyanide.
05:36Which is fast acting, so do we know what he consumed before he died?
05:40Well, apparently.
05:42He drank from this moments before it happened.
05:45It's a fiasco.
05:45I mean, I'm trying my best here, sir.
05:47I haven't been here for long.
05:48I just got here.
05:49No.
05:49This is a fiasco.
05:51Oh.
05:51It's a traditional Italian wine bottle.
05:54He'll have drank from this in Act 2, Scene 2, the famous drinking scene.
05:57Let me check for you again.
05:59Boom shakalaka.
06:00Two more pints for you again, Inspector.
06:02It was indeed Act 2, Scene 2.
06:05Oh, the man knows this Shakespeare.
06:07He does?
06:09Who knew?
06:10Cherry juice.
06:10That'll be for the red wine.
06:12So chances are we're looking at our murder weapon.
06:16That's what you think, right?
06:17But it can't be.
06:18Because two others drank from the same bottle during the performance.
06:22Stefano and Trinculo.
06:23That one I don't know, sir.
06:25But based on your previous form, two pints again.
06:28So what happened to the other two actors who drank from this?
06:30Not a thing.
06:31The paramedics checked them out and they seemed fine.
06:35And they recorded the show, seeing as it was the last performance.
06:38So I will watch it back and check to see what happened.
06:42But if they did drink from the same bottle, then...
06:46He must have ingested the poison some other way.
06:53Let's see what the rest of the company have to say.
06:58These are two that drank from the same bottle as the victim.
07:01Mm-hmm.
07:01Just Gorman and Anya Chambers.
07:03She and the victim were in a relationship together and she's taking it pretty badly.
07:09Who are the others?
07:10So this is Richard Dempster.
07:12He directed this production and he also plays...
07:14Uh, Prospero.
07:16There comes a moment in every actor's life.
07:20A certain character's call to you.
07:23I had no choice.
07:25I had to submit.
07:27Okay.
07:28And this is Nathan Burns.
07:30He's the company's stage manager.
07:31I swear, if there was poison in that bottle, it wasn't me that put it in there.
07:36Actually, Mr Burns, we're working on the basis that the poison was administered another way.
07:40Really?
07:40Oh, thank God.
07:41Yeah, the cyanide's fast-acting, so if it was in your system, we'd pretty much know by now.
07:47We'd like to know what else Mr Farah consumed in the 20 minutes or so before he died.
07:53Mikey never ate before a show.
07:55Not for two or three hours.
07:57Did he drink anything?
07:59I just sip water.
08:00What did he drink from?
08:02Uh, one of those water flask thingies.
08:05Um, there it is.
08:10Okay, so take me through exactly what happened this afternoon.
08:15Anything out of the ordinary?
08:17We went up a bit late by about 15 minutes.
08:20How come?
08:21Mm-hmm.
08:22Um, just, um, technical hitch.
08:27And once the show had started?
08:29Oh, um, Michael was, um, on stage in scene one.
08:33He doubles as the bosun.
08:35Take in the top sail.
08:36Ten to the master's whistle!
08:40Then a very, very swift makeup costume change reappear as Caliban in act one, scene two.
08:47Anya helps, uh, well, helped with that.
08:52And how did he seem, then?
08:54Fine.
08:55And what about before he went on stage and collapsed?
08:58A bit nervous.
09:00Pacing.
09:01Biting his nails.
09:02He always was.
09:04Before that scene, there were a couple of tricky speeches in it.
09:06But he wasn't looking ill.
09:10Can any of you think why someone might want to do this to Mr. Farah?
09:15No.
09:17Mikey was loved by the whole company.
09:20Very talented boy.
09:22He had the whole world at his feet.
09:34If we're working on the basis that the killer got the poison into Michael's system 15, 20 minutes prior to
09:41him dying on stage,
09:42and it must be one of the cast or a stage crew that...
09:47Sir?
09:49Why kill someone like that?
09:52In front of an audience and on the very last show of the tour?
09:57I mean, after today, they could all go home, right?
10:00They'd never have to see each other again.
10:02So why did he have to die on that stage today?
10:07This is a public beach, right?
10:09Well, we're going to need some security to keep an eye on the crime scene.
10:13And get Sergeant Fletcher and Officer Rose to do a sweep of the place.
10:16On it.
10:25You all right, Mr. Dempster?
10:27Oh, oh, no, no, no.
10:29Ten months on tour will do this to you.
10:34Come on, Richard.
10:35It's time to go.
10:49Well, I recognise you from somewhere.
10:52Oh, yeah.
10:54It's a whole community police scheme thing we're doing.
10:57Sounds thrilling.
10:59I didn't catch your name in the frenzy of it all.
11:02Sergeant Matty Fletcher.
11:03Sergeant Matty Fletcher.
11:05Would you like to go for a drink with me while I'm on the island?
11:09No.
11:11That's inappropriate, Mr. Gorman.
11:13You know, with me being a police officer and you a possible suspect in a murder case.
11:18Right, yeah.
11:19Well, that makes sense.
11:21I hope that wasn't too embarrassing.
11:22Not for me, it wasn't.
11:24Good, good.
11:25I guess as an actor, I lost all sense of shame a while ago.
11:28Mm-hmm.
11:31Did he just ask you an idea?
11:32During a murder investigation.
11:34That's a red flag right there.
11:36Maybe he's the killer.
11:37Maybe he's trying to get close to the police to keep an eye on the investigation.
11:41Or maybe he's just a bozo.
11:42That's also a possibility.
11:44Mm-hmm.
11:45Crazy, man.
11:58Take a bow, Mikey, because it's all over now.
12:02I told you, it was always going to end this way.
12:17Oh, that's great, man.
12:19I'll get the beers, yeah?
12:20Yeah.
12:20And some snacks.
12:21Nice.
12:22What time should we say?
12:23Around seven-ish?
12:24Yeah, cool, man.
12:25All right, nice one.
12:26See you then.
12:28I just arranged a dance night with Daryl.
12:31Tonight, he's going to get his mates around.
12:33It's going to be a bit like being back home, you know?
12:35Lads standing around the dartboard, beers, banter.
12:39The only thing that's missing is a sticky pub carpet and some pork scratchings.
12:43Pork scratchings?
12:44Yeah.
12:45They are the quintessential English pub snack.
12:48It's fried pigskin.
12:50I'll get some sent over for you.
12:52Oh.
12:54No rush.
12:56Ah.
12:57Lab results?
12:58Ah, yes.
12:58And they confirmed the victim died from potassium cyanide poisoning.
13:03No surprise there?
13:04They checked Michael's own water bottle and found no traces of the poison in it whatsoever.
13:10Nothing in his water bowl.
13:12As for the fiasco, cherry juice, fairly high glucose levels, they noticed.
13:20But, most importantly, a lethal dose of potassium cyanide.
13:27That is surprising.
13:29Poison was in the bottle that our victim and the other two actors drank from on stage.
13:33Mm-hmm.
13:34So how can three people drink from the same poison bottle and only one of them die?
13:40It doesn't make any sense.
13:57Well, we can rule out the pretending to drink theory.
14:00I mean, these guys are drinking from the bottle for real.
14:02No question.
14:03So what if one of the other two actors slipped the poison in on stage just before Michael drank from
14:09it?
14:10Yeah, rewind it a bit.
14:12Okay, play.
14:15Could it be Jez?
14:16Now, the bottle is in view the whole time.
14:18And he's not adding anything to it.
14:20Also, Michael's not the last person to drink from that bottle.
14:23Seb's right.
14:25Anya drinks after Michael, so even if something had been added by Jez, Anya would have consumed it as well.
14:30Did he ever tell you anything in the bottle?
14:33How?
14:35How do they all drink the same liquid with poison in it, but only Michael Farrah dies?
14:44Who's Sergeant Fletcher on the phone to?
14:46Oh, an actor's agent back in the UK.
14:49When we spoke with the rest of the cast this morning, a, um, Casey Briscoe, who plays Miranda.
14:55Miranda, she said she saw Nathan Burns accusting the victim just moments before the show even started.
15:01I'm telling you, this is all going to come back on you, and sooner than you think...
15:04And there's rumours going around that there's history between them.
15:07So Casey, slash, Miranda, said we should speak to this agent.
15:10Did you get anything from the search?
15:14Nothing interesting.
15:15I was suspicious.
15:17You know, he's been home in this little tune.
15:21I've never seen him do this before.
15:23He neither.
15:25Inspector, what's this funky tune you've been home in?
15:29God, I don't know.
15:31It's been in my head since yesterday.
15:32I can't shake it.
15:33I can't place it.
15:38Wait a minute.
15:40Wait a minute.
15:50Bingo!
15:52It was an advert.
15:53It was on the telly about five years ago.
15:55They kept playing it.
16:01See, that's what I was humming.
16:04And why is this relevant?
16:07Wait.
16:07As a plumber, I've seen my fair share of plot brains and six.
16:11That's why.
16:12And I know they can leave a pretty nasty pond.
16:15But now I've found Whiffbuster, I can leave my mother...
16:17That's Nathan Burns, the stage manager.
16:19Man, he's like a better actor than all of the others put together.
16:23Nathan Burns was an actor.
16:26And he has history with our victim.
16:28I just spoke to an agent in London who used to represent Nathan.
16:32She remembers him as being super ambitious.
16:36The Whiffbuster ad wasn't the end of his rainbow then?
16:37The agent said about eight years ago,
16:40Nathan had a really important audition for the production of Macbeth
16:44at the National Theatre in London.
16:46And he didn't get it.
16:48But guess who did?
16:50Michael Farah.
16:51And more than that,
16:53Nathan went to the police at the time.
16:56He was adamant that he was spiked before the audition.
17:03By Michael?
17:04By Michael.
17:05By Michael.
17:14By Michael.
17:14So I get this big audition.
17:16And I go down to London and stay in a cheap hotel near the theatre.
17:21Michael's staying in the same place.
17:23Me and him get chatting in the bar the night before.
17:25What were you drinking?
17:26Just softs.
17:27But Michael insists on getting the last round.
17:30I go to bed at 10.
17:32Next thing, it's midday and I've missed the audition.
17:35You think he drugged you?
17:36He was taking out the competition.
17:38And you went to the police?
17:39They said there wasn't enough evidence.
17:41Whatever he'd given me was already out of my system.
17:44What happened after that?
17:46I never got another break like it.
17:48Did a bit of theatre and education, a couple of TV ads.
17:52With Buster?
17:54Yeah, with Buster.
17:58Then I quit.
18:00So you tour with this guy for 10 months and it never comes up?
18:08Mr Burns, just before the last show, you were seen arguing with Michael,
18:13saying it's all going to come back on you and sooner than you think, mate.
18:19You're referring to him sabotaging your audition?
18:23That's some revenge.
18:25Spiking his drink like he spiked yours.
18:27I didn't kill Michael because of what he did to me eight years ago.
18:30Still must have bothered you though, right?
18:31Otherwise, why bring it up?
18:32I just...
18:33I couldn't stop myself.
18:36I was never going to see him again.
18:43We'll be in touch.
18:52There is definitely something he's not telling us.
18:55You think?
19:07Rich.
19:10The police have been asking questions.
19:13I didn't tell them what he did to you.
19:16But if there's heat on me again, I don't think I can stay quiet any longer.
19:24To thine own self be true, eh?
19:30Oh, Delroy.
19:33Say it again, if you would.
19:34No problem.
19:43Sir, how come you know so much about Shakespeare?
19:46Seems unlikely.
19:47You know, with you being a day of the match, a match of the day kind of guy.
19:54No disrespect.
19:55When I was a kid, I used to hang around outside the stage doors of West End theatres, yeah?
20:01In case I saw someone famous.
20:02Yeah, Vin Diesel.
20:04No, I don't think Vin Diesel ever trod the boards of London.
20:09Anyway, I got to know some of the staff, and they would let me sneak in and watch whatever was
20:14on at the time.
20:14So, yeah, I have seen my fair share of the Bards' works.
20:21Also, I got talking to the actor sometimes, and they would say how hard a gig it was.
20:27You know, the failed auditions, the unemployment, doing rubbish jobs just to make ends meet.
20:31It was tough, competitive.
20:34As our first suspect found out.
20:36Well, could it be that that pushed Michael to do what he did to Nathan?
20:40But it also shows there's a dark side to our victim.
20:43Spiking someone's drink just so he can get the role he wanted.
20:46That's ruthless.
20:47Well, whatever it was that led someone to poison Michael Farrah,
20:50well, we still haven't got a Scooby how we pulled it off.
20:53I mean, the man died on stage, right? In the middle of a performance.
20:57Drinking from the same bottle as these two.
20:59But they didn't die. He did.
21:05Did I, Wilson speaking?
21:08Yeah, I can talk now.
21:12Okay.
21:16Yeah, yeah, I understand.
21:18Have you spoken to my brother about this?
21:21He has.
21:23Right.
21:25Okay, well, um, thanks for letting me know.
21:31Hmm.
21:33Sir, is everything all right?
21:41I knew Mum would leave everything to Solomon.
21:45I just didn't think he'd put the house up for sale as soon as it was his.
21:51I thought we'd at least chat about it first.
21:55And what about your mother's things?
21:58According to the solicitor, he's arranged for a house clearance company to take everything and auction it all off.
22:05It all seems so rushed to me.
22:07Of course it's going to feel rushed.
22:09I would have liked at least a last look around the place.
22:14Maybe keep something of hers to remember her by.
22:23Then call your brother and tell him that's what you'd like to help him.
22:28He's got to understand, right?
22:44Hey.
22:46You.
22:47Yes.
22:49How can I help?
22:50Oh, well, actually, I thought I could help you, you know, wind down after a hard day's police in the
22:55streets.
22:57I've got some beers, picnic blanket, and, um, yeah, I thought we could find a quiet beach and get to
23:05know each other.
23:06Hmm.
23:06Mr Gorman?
23:07Yes.
23:08Did we not already have this conversation?
23:10We did, yes, but I thought what was happening was, you know, you were on duty, you had your colleagues
23:16around you, and I think you were saying what you felt you had to say.
23:20Hmm. No.
23:21Come on. I'm not on this island for very long. How often do you get to do this with someone
23:27like me? Let's just have some fun.
23:30Here we go. Here we go.
23:31Hmm.
23:34Hmm.
23:34Yes. Yes.
23:36There you go.
23:40Cheers.
23:42Actually, now that I think about it, I did say that I was going to meet my friend. What's the
23:46time now?
23:47Oh, no, you're spilling it, you're spilling it.
23:49Oh, what a shame.

25:21Good morning, everyone.
25:25was leaving you for michael you weren't upset sorry why is she here is that normal procedure
25:31to bring a uniform sergeant along it is yep yes it is okay fine so it's nonsense is it that
25:39you
25:39were upset about anya yes i mean any is the one who's losing out not me all our mutual friends
25:45are siding with me she's the one who's gonna have to move in with her parents when she gets back
25:48home not me i mean it hurts yeah of course it hurt really hurt but i didn't kill michael because
25:56of
25:56it i wasn't looking for revenge ah this is my agent so i should probably tell you shouldn't okay she'll
26:06leave a voicemail this is a murder investigation mr gorman and your wife fell in love with the victim
26:12that's a very strong motive well that's what you're wrong actually they didn't fall in love
26:18i mean maybe she did i don't know but it wasn't reciprocated what makes you say that
26:25because he told me so
26:29a few nights before our final performance we all had a bit of a sesh
26:33at the hotel bar and some of us went for a dip in the sea michael comes up to me
26:38and says he's gonna
26:39end it with anya because he's got some off-broadway play and she's not what he needs right now
26:47and did he end it with her yeah five minutes before the beginning of our final show
26:55talk about timing eh
27:05thank you ania's in room 352 that was seb the security team at the crime scene says somebody
27:13tried to break into the dressing room area last night guess a description is that something that we
27:19missed right you and officer oz get down to the crime scene let's go and talk to anya yeah when's
27:26the deadline yes said yeah i'm sure i can get some to put me on tape mikey and i had
27:35gone to collect rich
27:36from this bar he drinks it that was why we went up late so that was the technical hitch we
27:43literally
27:44had five minutes before the performance was about to start mr dempster come on let's get you dressed
27:49fight fight michael just blurts it out i can't do this anymore i'm going to new york
27:59i'm going alone you gave up your marriage for michael you risked everything
28:07you must have hurt them when he told you it was over between you two
28:12i don't know
28:16what was it that drew you to michael it felt like a kindred spirit it was something i'd never
28:25had with jez in what way mikey cared so much about his work but it terrified him he was just
28:35driving
28:35to be as good as he could and knowing it could all be torn down by a critic or the
28:41audience
28:41and that vulnerability drew me to him because i feel it too in everything
28:49okay so in that moment when he told you'd finished with you you must have felt betrayed
28:56angry and within the oa he was dead what what you think i did it because of i remember how
29:06even
29:10you think i'd carry around around a bottle of cyanide with me just in case i get dumped
29:16and if you've forgotten i drank from the same bottle as him
29:20why would i do that if i knew there was poison in it
29:28you know my mom's church has this dirty thing going on and sometimes think about doing a bit
29:36hard to myself you know it's just the words sometimes i really struggle with words like um
29:49the winds did sing it to me and the thunder that deep and dreadful organ pipe pronounced the name
29:56of prosper it did base me trespass base me trespass i mean what does that even mean like base me
30:04trespass
30:05like a boombox type of base less of the base and more of the searching sergeant fletcher commissioner
30:10afternoon afternoon afternoon sir might i have a word
30:20how is the investigation going we're making progress sir we've already got a few suspects in mind
30:27is everything all right sir a complaint has been made accusing you of unprofessional conduct
30:37by who jess gourmand claims you tried to initiate a romantic relationship with him
30:43he said what and when he turned you down twice you pursued him as a suspect in the case
30:52that is just not true we interviewed him because there was evidence to suggest he had a motive
31:00and it was mr gourmand who asked me out twice i swear to you sir he is making this all
31:06up
31:07i mean i would never do something like that sir you believe me right look sir ask officer rose
31:16he was there the first time mr gourmand asked me out he will tell you very well
31:24leave it with me
31:34exactly what am i looking for
31:37yes though cannot find a thing
31:55sarge i think i found something
31:59what is it
32:04it's a beach like a key
32:08there's a few of them two minutes of the road
32:25a syringe
32:31well i'm assuming that's the cyanide
32:39a tin of throat lozenges
32:40you all right then mr dempster
32:50right mr dempster
32:53this lot has got your fingerprints all over it
32:57no one else's you care to explain it's thanks to michael farrah that i fell off the wagon
33:04sorry for this tour i've been sober 20 years what happened
33:10michael was offered this this off-broadway show it's gonna get him some good publicity in the states
33:16well at the same time we had the chance of extending our tour by three months to south america
33:22and you didn't want to lose your caliber no and i mean michael was contractually obliged to stay
33:27if further dates were added i'll refuse to release him well we know michael was very ambitious so i
33:32assume he wasn't happy about that it's our first day off in the caribbean trinidad we all spent
33:40the day by the pool cheers thank you i didn't realize till it was too late oh dear boy putting
33:50shots of
33:51vodka in my soft drink all day once i got the taste for it well double um double whiskey days
34:0020 years without so much as a sip it all came crashing down nathan and dear anya they were first
34:07to realize i was back on the source took it in turns blessing me to bed did you tell them
34:14what
34:14michael did yes but i don't think anya believed me but but nathan did nathan yeah there is definitely
34:22something he's not telling us he said that michael had done something not dissimilar to him once
34:28spiked his drink so that's what nathan was holding back when he confronted michael before the final show
34:36it wasn't just about his experience eight years ago i'm telling you this is all going to come back
34:41on you and sooner than you think mate it was also about what he'd been doing to you the irony
34:47of it
34:47is that funding fell through in the end tour was never extended michael got exactly what he wanted
34:53no i had the sense he usually did which brings us back to this little collection i think he poisoned
35:01one
35:01of these lozenges gave it to michael backstage then added poison to that wine bottle on stage after he
35:07died to misdirect us make us think that's what killed him afraid my little plan wasn't quite so smart
35:15well and not so deadly bottle doesn't contain cyanide contains lysergic acid diethylamine
35:29lsd the hallucinogen i injected one of the lozenges but not with cyanide i don't want to kill him
35:36i just wanted him to feel how he made me feel all powerless
35:44well i wanted everyone to see it
35:48ah i would go with that i am i didn't go through with it
35:54and when michael collapsed on stage and we were called
35:58i panicked all your frenzy i ran to the beach lockers hit the evidence
36:04and there was you our security saw trying to get into the dressing room
36:08to get that key did you tell anyone else about your plan so smashed half the time
36:14i could i might have left it lying around i don't know inspector
36:23just a moment
36:31i think he might be telling the truth we've re-watched the video and after michael collapses
36:37no one goes near the bottle he drank from hello jess garman puts down the bottle here
36:42and no one touches it again until i do there so the poison was in the bottle all along
36:51nothing was added afterwards no sir so how come the other two that drank from the bottle didn't die
36:58and he did
37:08you've reached solomon leave a message i'll get back to you so it's me again can you call me back
37:18please
37:23so i just heard back from a few of jess and anya's friends in the uk trying to get a
37:28handle on their
37:29marriage breaking up
37:32right
37:33no one was shocked it seems jess wasn't the most faithful of husbands he saw it as a kind of
37:40open marriage all right and what happens on tour stays on tour and after three years of marriage
37:46anya felt betrayed and humiliated just basically took her for granted but obviously never expected
37:51her to actually leave so when anya hooked up with michael that must have really thrown him
38:01still haven't heard from your brother
38:04you know what i think he's actually ignoring my calls i keep thinking about how things were
38:10between us you know when we last saw each other they weren't great in fact if i'm honest i kind
38:14of think it's because of me that we're going our separate ways then maybe you should go visit him
38:19in antiga you think yeah just go talk to him i'm heading to the lab you want me to drop
38:27you off
38:27on the shack uh no um take me to the high street please i need to get a bucket and
38:32spade
38:34as in a kiddie's bucket and spade for like the beach what other kind of bucket and spade is there
38:42sir um is this for the case or
38:48are you having a break now probably both
38:57right well that's me done
39:05sarge you don't need to stress yourself over this jez garman complaint like you said the man's a total
39:11bozo and the commissioner will definitely see that car he can see through the lies
39:18you're not too sure about it
39:23there's something that you don't know about me from before i uh i came back to saint maureen
39:33in jamaica i i messed up on a case big time and
39:42and saw my file and the commissioner knows about it so no no i'm not sure he's gonna have my
39:50back on
39:50this that's why you're transferred
39:59well i mean look
40:02i wouldn't be so sure about that search because one thing i know for a fact is that the commissioner
40:10wants to give everyone a chance because i mean he did with me best decision he ever made
40:31you
40:40morning sard officer rolls say yes thomas somebody's giving the inspector some here
40:49i never thought i'd see the day the man could have an afro whoever did this making a bold statement
41:06morning inspector have you seen the poster someone's giving you a glow up yeah i've seen it
41:13yeah that really brings out your cheekbones inspector kind of suits you oh and he's got his little
41:18kiddies buckets and spades four of them in fact one bottle one dose of poison
41:31three people drink the same liquid from the same bottle
41:37now how come only one of them ingest the poison and the other two don't
41:41that's not possible why not they're standing all of them or poison so how
41:48how indeed sergeant fletcher
41:53is that from the lab yes oh
41:59confirms the liquid in the bottle we found in mr dempster's cigar box was lsd
42:07not legal but definitely not murder oh sir your buckets oh
42:24the seeds washed all the sand away
42:29it's like i was never there
42:35hang on
42:40the water made the sand disappear
42:44or did it actually disappear i mean what if it was there all along i think he poisoned one of
42:51these lozenges and added poison to that wine bottle on stage after he died no one goes near the battle
42:57he drank from as for the fiasco fairly high glucose levels and if that explains the bowl
43:06then where did the poison come from no no very very swift makeup costume change reappear as caliban in act
43:14one scene two and with my long nails i'll defeat
43:18eat us
43:23you know who did it
43:26and i think i know why but what about the whole inspector i mean that's what the whole biggie is
43:31about right i'm pretty sure i know the how as well but officer robes i need you to run another
43:36talks report on mr farrah but i need a glass of water first you're dehydrated no it's not a drink
43:41it's just a little experiment that will finally prove what really happened on stage three days ago
43:47one glass of water coming right up
43:57now i don't want to talk ill of the dead however i think it's fair to say that michael farrah
44:04was a
44:05selfish and self-interested individual who only cared about what he wanted in life
44:11and how he was going to get it but did the malicious and hurtful things he did to each of
44:17you
44:18really mean he had to die
44:23anya you obviously thought he did because it was you that poisoned him
44:28what no i absolutely did not the mystery we've been trying to solve throughout this case
44:38is how three people could drink from the same poison bottle yet only one of them dies
44:48we didn't know it but the answer has been right in front of us from the start
44:53and in a way mr farrah gave it to us in his dying breath and with my long nails i'll
45:01dig the pig
45:01and i with my long nails will dig the pig nuts
45:07because that's the thing about caliban he was a monster right and as part of michael's makeup to
45:13help make him look more monstery his nails are painted and that's how he was poisoned
45:21we need to get this to the lab but we've already had michael's fingernails tested and it was confirmed
45:28there were traces of cyanide in the dried varnish it was administered anya by you during his wardrobe
45:37change from the bosun into his caliban costume makeup and painted fingernails
45:45nathan you said michael would get particularly nervous while waiting to go on stage for act two
45:50scene two yeah a bit nervous he would pace and bite his nails which after touring for 12 months together
45:59and having become intimate with him you also knew enya but but i told you michael only
46:06ended things with me half an hour before he died how could i plan his murder in that time you're
46:12right
46:13michael's murder was planned in advance but now we know the killer had to be you then it follows that
46:20you'd already found out michael was planning to end his relationship with you you're getting in
46:26yeah maybe i'm with michael telling jens as much look i'm gonna end things with anya i think you
46:33overheard that conversation after everything i thought you should know and we believe that's
46:38when you decided to kill him then if michael's fingernails were poisoned well why was there poison
46:46in the bottle that was to misdirect us right to confuse us with the seeming impossibility that
46:53three people could drink from it but only one die why weren't they all killed i'm glad you asked me
46:59that mr dempster because to answer that we need to look to your own plan to get back at michael
47:04farrah
47:05we know miss chambers helped to put you to bed a number of times when you've overindulged nathan
47:12the urania they took it in turn to bless him putting me to bed and you admitted yourself you left
47:18the
47:18cigar box containing the syringe the lozenges i might have left it lying around and this little bottle lying
47:26around the place we believe you came across this box miss chambers oh and that's when your plans
47:38started to take shape but instead of using lsd you used a fatal poison
47:49so i have to admit it didn't register with me at first the significance
47:54but when our lab tested the liquid in that poison bottle the cherry juice as for the fiasco they found
48:02the level of glucose in it higher than normal that's where this comes in
48:10just over an hour ago i dropped one of mr dempster's throat lozenges in this glass of water
48:16water and now look it's gone dissolved
48:24and that's exactly what you did anya with that wine bottle just before yourself jez and michael went
48:30on that stage for act two scene two you see as long as the lozenge was whole and hadn't dissolved
48:37yes it was safe to drink from which you all did but by the time we arrived at the crime
48:48scene and
48:49sent the bottle to the lab to be tested lozenge had already melted away releasing the poison making it
48:57seem like it had been there all along but why why did you kill him
49:07anya when you and michael got together you were still feeling hurt and embarrassed
49:14by your husband's ongoing infidelities him taking you for granted so for michael the kindred spirit
49:25that you'd risked everything for to humiliate you even further by finishing with you only a few months
49:32after getting together well it more than hurt and that's when you realized that perhaps the rumors
49:41you've heard about michael which you previously dismissed were actually true that mr dempster's
49:49claim that michael spiked him actually happened did you tell them what michael did yes i don't
49:56think can you believe me but and that nathan burns his own past running with mr farrow was more than
50:02mere gossip there's been gossip amongst the cast that is history between them so you decided to do
50:08something that was long overdue and on behalf of yourself and everyone else here whose life he'd
50:14ruined you would give michael something he deserved to make him the one to finally suffer
50:23his own downfall his own humiliation right there on that stage for all the world to see
50:32and that miss chambers is why you killed him
50:44and your chambers i'm arresting you for the murder of michael farrow
50:49you do not have to say anything but it may harm your defense
50:53if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court
51:12you're not seeing enough of yourself already it's never enough
51:17uh return of the bozo could could we have a quick chat please
51:26i uh i just want to let you know that i officially dropped my complaint this morning and um
51:31and i wanted to say i'm sorry
51:35you know you could have lost me my job just because i wouldn't have a drink with you
51:40what kind of sick little messed up brain you have yeah that's pretty much what your commissioner
51:44said wait the commissioner yeah he was the one who insisted i apologize and said he was going to
51:50charge me with wasting police time he caught my agent he's a pretty terrifying guy actually oh and
51:56there he is okay well look i'd rather not have to deal with him again so i'm really sorry
52:15he apologized he did thank you sir i'm sorry i couldn't get him to drop his complaint sooner
52:25the man was clearly making it all up
52:30so you knew he was lying all along of course
52:34but one has to follow procedure in situations like this it's i just i just thought you didn't
52:46believe me sir you know after everything that happened before you made a promise to me that there
52:55were going to be no more mistakes and i tend to take people at their word you're a good sergeant
53:03i can see that so keep it up
53:29okay if i get a bullseye on this next throw i'll book a ticket to antiga
53:35and i'll go and see seoul
53:52um maybe make it best of three yeah another bullseye and i'm definitely going to antiga
54:13i don't believe it
54:21well that's that then i guess it's really happening
54:29yes thomas
54:31i'm just letting you know i won't be coming in tomorrow
54:35i'm actually taking your advice as it goes i'm going to see seoul
54:41yeah well i mean
54:43i don't even know if he wants to see me but
54:46hey what's the worst that can happen
55:01more water please i think it rather suits him
55:04yeah that's the same thing i said sir because i wanted a jackson five
55:09and it is rather amusing isn't it
55:19so yes thomas what is it i think something has happened to the inspector
55:43what the hell's going on
55:45what the hell's going on
55:50you
55:51you
