03:34Wait! Somebody call an ambulance!
03:37Hey!

03:57Let me know.
03:57It's not myia, but my god!
03:57your name is my god!
04:01Your love, you're be around me!
04:02I still think the love, you've got her!
04:02What came?
04:03Oh dear to me.
04:05I love you.
04:14yes Thomas what's up are you at the shot sir now I am practicing my darts
04:19oh can't say you don't need it since I got myself a decent set of arrows my form was improved
04:26get in
04:29I'm presuming this isn't a social call you got a case a suspected poisoning occurred
04:34doing a theater performance the victim collapsed on page what you sure it wasn't an accident
04:39according to paramedics the symptoms suggest it's cyanide poisoning interesting no everything
04:46all right I think I might have just nearly killed Harry what are you doing man you can't play on
04:55here it's not safe Michael Farrah 32 years old suddenly collapsed halfway through the
05:04second act of the performance the tempest the poster said yeah last 10 months they've been
05:10touring beaches all over the world with it this was their final performance sergeant Fletcher's
05:15taken all the necessary statements Caliban I'll take it one sec let me check yes yes he was I mean
05:24two
05:25points for you inspector how did you work that out well he looks monstery you know not a human I
05:33assume
05:33the smell of almonds got the paramedics thinking it was cyanide which is fast acting so do we know
05:38what he consumed before he died well apparently he drank from this moments before it happened it's a
05:45fiasco I mean I'm trying my best here sir I haven't been here for long I just got here oh
05:49this is a
05:50fiasco oh it's a traditional Italian wine bottle he'll have drank from this in act two scene two the
05:56famous drinking scene let me check for you again boom shakalaka two more points for you again inspector
06:02it was indeed act two scene two oh the man knows this Shakespeare he does cherry juice that'll be for
06:11the red wine so chances are we're looking at our murder weapon that's what you think right but it
06:18can't be because two others drank from the same bottle during the performance Stefano and Trinculo that one
06:24I don't know sir but based on your previous farm two points again so what happened to the other two
06:29actors who drank from this not a thing the paramedics checked them out and they seem fine and um they
06:36recorded the show seeing as it was the last performance so I will watch it back and check
06:41to see what happened but if they did drink from the same bottle then he must have ingested the poison
06:48some other way let's see what the rest of the company have to say these are two that drank from
06:59the same bottle as the victim mm-hmm just Gorman and Anya Chambers she and the victim were in a
07:04relationship together and she's taking it pretty badly who are the others so this is Richard Dempster
07:12he directed this production and he also plays uh Prospero there comes a moment in every actor's life
07:20a certain characters call to you I had no choice I had to submit okay and this is Nathan Burns
07:30he's the
07:30company stage manager I 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 really oh thank
07:41god yeah the cyanide's fast acting so if it was in your system we pretty much know by now we'd
07:47like
07:47to know what else mr. Farr consumed in the 20 minutes or so before he died Mikey never ate for
07:54a show not
07:56for two or three hours did he drink anything I just sip water what did he drink from uh one
08:03of those
08:03water flask thingies um there it is okay so take me through exactly what happened this afternoon
08:15anything out of the ordinary we went up a bit late by about 15 minutes how come
08:23um just um technical hitch and once the show had started oh um Michael was um on stage in scene
08:33one
08:33he doubles as the bosun take in the top sail 10 to the master's whistle no no very very swift
08:42make up
08:43costume change reappear as Caliban in act one scene two Anya helps um well helped with that then how
08:52did he seem then fine and what about before he went on stage and collapsed a bit nervous pacing buying
09:01his
09:01nails he always was before that scene there are a couple of tricky speeches in it but he wasn't looking
09:07ill can any of you think why someone might want to do this to mr. Farah mikey was loved by
09:18the whole
09:18company very talented boy he had the whole world at his feet
09:35if we're working on the basis that the killer got the poison into Michael system 15 20 minutes prior
09:41to him dying on stage and it must be one of the cast or a stage crew that
09:48sir why kill someone like that in front of an audience
09:54and on the very last show of the tour I mean after today they could all go home right they
10:00never have to see each other again so why did he have to die on that stage today this is
10:08a public
10:08beach right well we're gonna need some security to keep an eye on the crime scene I get sergeant
10:14fletcher and officer Rose to do a sweep of the place I need
10:25you all right mr. Dempster oh oh yeah 10 months on tour will do this you
10:49well I recognize you from somewhere oh yeah it's a whole community police scheme thing we're doing
10:57sounds thrilling I didn't catch your name in the frenzy of it all sergeant Matty Fletcher
11:03sergeant Matty Fletcher would you like to go for a drink with me uh while I'm on the island no
11:10that's
11:11inappropriate mr. Gorman you know with me being a police officer and you a possible suspect in a
11:17murder case right yeah well that makes sense um I hope that wasn't too embarrassing not for me it
11:23wasn't good good um I guess as an actor I lost all sense of shame a while ago did he
11:31just ask you on a
11:32date during a murder investigation that's a red flag right there and maybe he's the killer maybe he's
11:37trying to get close to the police to keep an eye on the investigation or maybe he's just a bozo
11:42that's
11:43also a possibility mm-hmm crazy man take a bow monkey because it's all over now I told you it
12:05was
12:05always gonna end this way that's great man I'll get the beers yeah yeah and some snacks nice what
12:22time should we say around seven ish yeah cool man all right nice one see you then I just arranged
12:29a
12:29dance night with Daryl tonight he's gonna get his mates round it's gonna be a bit like being back home
12:35you know lads standing around the dartboard beers banter the only thing that's missing is a sticky
12:41pub carpet and some pork scratchings pork scratchings yeah they are the quintessential English pub snack
12:47it's fried pig skin yeah I'll get some sent over for you oh no rush oh lab results yes and
12:59they
13:00confirmed the victim died from potassium cyanide poisoning no surprise there they checked Michael's
13:05own water bottle and found no traces of the poison in it whatsoever nothing in his water bottle as for
13:13the fiasco for the fiasco cherry juice fairly high glucose levels they noticed but most importantly a lethal
13:23dose of potassium cyanide that is surprising poison was in the bottle that our victim and the other two
13:31actors drank from on stage mm-hmm so how can three people drink from the same poison bottle and only
13:38one of them
13:39died doesn't make any sense well we can rule out the pretending to drink theory I mean these guys are
14:01drinking from the bottle for real no question so what if one of the other two actors slipped the poison
14:06in
14:06on stage just before Michael Jack from it rewind it a bit okay play could it be jazz now that
14:17the
14:17bottle is in view the whole time and he's not adding anything to it also Michael's not the last person
14:22to
14:22drink from that bottle Seb's right I'm your drinks after Michael so even if something had been added by
14:29judges and he would have consumed it as well how how do they all drink the same liquid with with
14:39poison
14:39in it but only Michael Farrah dies the sergeant Fletcher on the phone too oh an actor's agent back in
14:48the UK
14:49when we spoke with the rest of the cast this morning a um Casey Briscoe who plays Miranda she said
14:56she saw
14:57Nathan Burns a casting the victim just moments before the show even started I'm telling you this is all
15:02gonna come back on you and sooner than you think and there's a rumors going around that is history
15:06between them so Casey slash Miranda said we should speak to this agent did you get anything from the
15:12search nothing interesting I was suspicious you know I've never seen him do this before me
15:24neither inspector what's this funky true and you're being omen yeah I don't know it's been in my head
15:31since yesterday I can't shake it I can't place it wait a minute
15:52bingo it was an advert it was on the telly about five years ago they kept playing it
16:01see that's what I was humming and why is this relevant wait
16:11that's why and I know they can leave a pretty nasty pong but now I found wif buster I can
16:17leave
16:17that's Nathan Burns the stage manager man he's like a better actor than all of the others put
16:23together Nathan Burns was an actor and he has history with our victim I just spoke to an agent
16:30in London who used to represent Nathan she remembers him as being super ambitious the wif buster had wasn't
16:37the end of his rainbow then the agent said about eight years ago Nathan had a really important
16:42audition for the production of Macbeth at the National Theatre in London and he didn't get it but guess who
16:49did Michael Farah and more than that Nathan went to the police at the time he was adamant that he
16:58was
16:58spiked before the audition by Michael by Michael
17:14so I get this big audition and I go down to London and stay in a cheap hotel near the
17:19theatre Michael's
17:21staying in the same place meaning got chatting in the bar the night before what were you drinking just
17:26softs but Michael insists on getting the last round I go to bed at 10 next thing it's midday and
17:34I've
17:34missed the audition you think he drugged you he was taking out the competition and you went to the
17:39police they said there wasn't enough evidence whatever he'd given me was already out of my system
17:44what happened after that I never got another break like it did a bit of theatre and education a couple
17:51of TV
17:51ads with Buster yeah with Buster and then I quit so you tour with this guy for 10 months and
18:05it never comes up
18:08Mr Burns just before the last show you were seen arguing with Michael saying it's all gonna come back on
18:15you and sooner than you think mate
18:17mate you're referring to him sabotaging your audition
18:23that's some revenge spiking his drink like he spiked yours I didn't kill Michael because of what he did to
18:29me eight years ago still must have bothered you though right otherwise why bring it up
18:32what I just I couldn't stop myself I was never gonna see him again
18:43we'll be in touch
18:51there is definitely something he's not telling us you think
19:09rich the police have been asking questions
19:13I didn't tell them what he did to you but if there's heat on me again I don't think I
19:19can stay quiet any longer
19:24to my own self be true eh
19:30oh Delroy
19:33say it again if you would
19:43sir how come you know so much about shakespeare seems unlikely you know with you being a day of the
19:51match match of the day kind of guy no disrespect
19:56when I was a kid I used to hang around outside the stage doors of West End theaters yeah in
20:01case 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 board's works
20:21also I got talking to the actor sometimes and they would say how hard a gig it was you know
20:27the failed auditions the unemployment doing rubbish jobs just to make ends meet it was it was tough competitive as
20:35our first suspect found out
20:36well could it be that that pushed Michael to do what he did to Nathan but it also shows there's
20:41a dark side to our victim spiking someone's drink just so he can get the role he wanted that's ruthless
20:47well whatever it was that led someone to poison Michael Farah well we still haven't got a scooby how we
20:53pulled it off I mean the man died on stage right in the middle of a performance drinking from the
20:57same bottle as these two
20:59but they didn't die he did
21:06did I wasn't speaking yeah 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
21:26well
21:28thanks for letting me know
21:33sir is everything all right
21:42I knew mum would leave everything to solar
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 is arranged for house clearance company to take everything and auction it all off
22:05it all seems so rushed to me
22:07of course
22:08of course it's going to feel well
22:09would 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 happen
22:28it's got to understand right
22:30it's got to understand right
22:57I've got some beers

23:07yes
23:08did we not already have this conversation
23:10we did
23:11yes

23:17I think you were saying what you felt you had to say
23:20mmm no

23:46what's the time now
23:47oh
23:47oh no you're spilling it
23:49you're spilling it
23:49oh what a shame
23:51I do have somewhere to be right now though
23:56do not bother me again
23:59unless it's related to the case
24:01mr. Gorman
24:03you understand now
24:05good
24:06you enjoyed the rest of your evening
24:25sergeant fletcher good morning
24:26what have you got
24:27so I've been doing background checks on the other cast members
24:30and I noticed
24:32Anya Chambers and Jez Gorman
24:34were in the same play back in 2021
24:37and they ended up getting together
24:39and
24:40wait for it
24:41They only got married a year later.
24:44Hang on, I thought Annie was with Michael.
24:45She was.
24:46She left Jez for him during the tour they'd been on.
24:51Why did this not show up sooner?
24:52Because it wasn't officially registered yet.
24:55They had a vow ceremony in the forest somewhere.
24:57There was a whole Midsummer Night's Dream thing going on.
25:01Yeah.
25:01Yeah, you should have seen some of the photos they posted on social media.
25:05That was some dress she wore. Respectfully, of course.
25:08So, how did Jez feel about being replaced by Michael?
25:10Hmm. Well, according to the other cast members,
25:13really not so good seems to be the answer.
25:17Mm-hmm.
25:22Look, I don't know who said that, but it's nonsense.
25:24So, when Annie told you she was leaving you for Michael,
25:27you weren't upset?
25:28Sorry, why is she here?
25:30Is that normal procedure? To bring a uniformed sergeant along?
25:33It is.
25:34Yep.
25:34Yes, it is.
25:36Okay. Fine.
25:37So, it's nonsense, is it, that you were upset about Anya?
25:41Yes.
25:42I mean, Anya's the one who's losing out, not me.
25:44All our mutual friends are siding with me.
25:46She's the one who's going to have to move in with her parents
25:48when she gets back home, not me.
25:50I mean, it hurts.
25:51Yeah.
25:52Of course it hurt.
25:53It really hurt.
25:54But I didn't kill Michael because of it.
25:57I wasn't looking for revenge.
26:00Ah, this is my agent, so I should probably take...
26:02No.
26:04You shouldn't.
26:05Okay, she'll leave a voicemail.
26:07This is a murder investigation, Mr Gorman.
26:10And your wife fell in love with the victim.
26:12That's a very strong motive.
26:14Well, that's where you're wrong, actually.
26:16They didn't fall in love.
26:18I mean, maybe she did, I don't know, but...
26:20It wasn't reciprocated.
26:21What makes you say that?
26:25Because he told me so.
26:29A few nights before our final performance,
26:32we all had a bit of a sesh at the hotel bar.
26:35Some of us went for a dip in the sea.
26:38Michael comes up to me and says he's going to end it with Anya
26:41because he's got some off-Broadway play
26:44and she's not what he needs right now.
26:47And did he end it with her?
26:49Yeah.
26:51Five minutes before the beginning of our final show.
26:56Talk about timing, eh?
27:08Anya's in room 352.
27:10That was Seb.
27:11The security team at the crime scene
27:13say somebody tried to break into the dressing room area last night.
27:16Guess a description?
27:18Is there something that we could have missed?
27:21Right, you and Officer Rose get down to the crime scene.
27:23Let's go and talk to Anya.
27:26Yeah, when's the deadline?
27:27Yes.
27:28Seb?
27:29Yeah, I'm sure I can get someone to put me on tape.
27:34And it's no...
27:34Mya and I had gone to collect rich from this bar he drinks in.
27:38That was why we went up late.
27:41So, that was the technical pitch.
27:42Technical hitch.
27:43We literally had five minutes before the performance was about to start.
27:47Mr. Dempster, come on, let's get you dressed.
27:49Fight! Fight!
27:52Michael just blurts it out.
27:54I can't do this anymore.
27:57I'm going to New York.
27:59I'm going alone.
28:01You gave up your marriage for Michael.
28:04You risked everything.
28:07It must have hurt them
28:09when he told you it was over between you two.
28:12So, no.
28:16What was it that drew you to Michael?
28:19It felt like...
28:21a kindred spirit.
28:24It was something I'd never had with Jez.
28:27In what way?
28:29Mikey cared so much about his work,
28:32but it terrified him.
28:34He was striving to be as good as he could.
28:37And knowing it could all be torn down by a critic or the audience.
28:42And that vulnerability drew me to him.
28:44Because I feel it, too, in everything.
28:49Okay, so in that moment,
28:51when he told you'd finished with you,
28:53you must have felt...
28:54Betrayed.
28:56But...
28:56Angry.
28:57And within the hour, he was dead.
28:59What?
28:59What?
29:00You think I did it?
29:04Because of...
29:04I remember...
29:06How, even?
29:09I...
29:10You think I'd carry around a bottle of cyanide with me
29:13just in case I get dumped?
29:16And if you'd forgotten,
29:17I 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 mum's church has this dirty thing goin' on.
29:33And sometimes,
29:35I think about doin' a bit hard to meself, you know?
29:38It's just the words sometimes.
29:40I really struggled with words.
29:44Like, um...
29:45Cool.
29:49The winds did sing it to me.
29:52And the thunder,
29:53that deep and dreadful organ pipe,
29:56pronounced the name of Prosper.
29:58It did bass me trespass.
30:00Bass me trespass?
30:01I mean, what does that even mean,
30:03like, bass me trespass?
30:05Like, uh, boombox type of bass?
30:07Less of the bass,
30:08and more of the searchin'.
30:09Sergeant Fletcher.
30:10Commissioner, afternoon.
30:11Afternoon, sir.
30:13Might I have a word?
30:20How is the investigation going?
30:23We're making progress, sir.
30:24We've already got a few suspects in mind.
30:28Is everything all right, sir?
30:30A complaint has been made
30:34accusing you of unprofessional conduct.
30:37By who?
30:38Jess Gorman claims you tried to initiate
30:40a romantic relationship with him.
30:43He said what?
30:45And when he turned you down twice,
30:48you pursued him as a suspect in the case.
30:52That is just not true.
30:55We interviewed him
30:56because there was evidence to suggest
30:58he had a motive.
31:00And it was Mr. Gorman who asked me out twice.
31:03I swear to you, sir.
31:05He is making this all up.
31:07I mean, I would never do something like that, sir.
31:10You believe me, right?
31:14Look, sir, ask Officer Rose.
31:16He was there the first time Mr. Gorman asked me out.
31:19He will tell you.
31:21Very well.
31:25Leave it with me.
31:33Exactly what I'm looking for.
31:36Yes.
31:38Though, cannot find a thing.
31:40Hey.
31:42Ah.
31:45Hmm.
31:55Sarge!
31:56I think I found something.
32:00What is it?
32:04It's a beach like a key.
32:08There's a few of them two minutes off the road.
32:13Oh.
32:22Whoa.
32:27Syringe.
32:31Well, I'm assuming that's the cyanide.
32:33Hmm.
32:39A tin of throat lozenges.
32:41You all right there, Mr. Dempster?
32:42No.
32:50Right, Mr. Dempster.
32:53This lot has got your fingerprints all over it.
32:57No one else's.
32:58You care to explain?
33:01It's thanks to Michael Farah that I fell off the wagon.
33:04Sorry?
33:05Before this tour, I've been sober 20 years.
33:08What happened?
33:10Michael was offered this off-Broadway show.
33:14It's going to 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?
33:24No.
33:24And, I mean, Michael was contractually obliged to stay if further dates were added.
33:29I'll refuse to release him.
33:30Well, we know Michael was very ambitious, so I assume he wasn't happy about that.
33:36It's our first day off in the Caribbean, Trinidad.
33:40We all spent the day by the pool.
33:43Cheers.
33:46I didn't realize until it was too late.
33:48Oh, dear boy.
33:50Putting shots of vodka in my soft drink all day.
33:54Once I got the taste for it well.
33:57Double, um, double whiskey, please.
34:0020 years without so much as a sip.
34:03It all came crashing down.
34:05Nathan and dear Anya, they were first to realize I was back on the source.
34:09Took it in turns, bless him.
34:12Bring me to bed.
34:13Did you tell them what Michael did?
34:15Yes, but I don't think Anya believed me.
34:18But Nathan did.
34:20Nathan?
34:20Yeah.
34:21There is definitely something he's not telling us.
34:24He said that Michael had done something not dissimilar to him once, spiked his drink.
34:30So that's what Nathan was holding back.
34:33When he confronted Michael before the final show, it wasn't just about his experience eight years ago.
34:40I'm telling you, this is all going to come back on you and sooner than you think, mate.
34:43It was also about what he'd been doing to you.
34:46The irony of it is that funding fell through and the end tour was never extended.
34:51Michael got exactly what he wanted.
34:53No, I had the sense he usually did.
34:56Which brings us back to this little collection.
34:59I think he poisoned one of these lozenges.
35:02Gave it to Michael backstage.
35:04Then added poison to that wine bottle on stage after he died.
35:07To misdirect us.
35:09Make us think that's what killed him.
35:12I'm afraid my little plan wasn't quite so smart.
35:15Well, and not so deadly.
35:18The bottle doesn't contain cyanide.
35:22Contains lysergic acid, diethylamide.
35:27LSD.
35:30The hallucinogen.
35:31I injected one of the lozenges.
35:33But not with cyanide.
35:36I didn't want to kill him.
35:37I just wanted him to feel how he made me feel.
35:41All powerless.
35:45Well, I wanted everyone to see it.
35:48Ah.
35:49With the cover that I am, I didn't go through with it.
35:54And when Michael collapsed on stage, and we were called.
35:59What was I panicked?
36:01What was a frenzy?
36:02I ran to the beach lockers, hit the evidence.
36:05And there was you, our security saw, trying to get into the dressing room.
36:08To get that key.
36:10Did you tell anyone else about your plan?
36:12So smashed half the time, I might have left it lying around.
36:18I don't know.
36:19Inspector.
36:23Just a moment.
36:31I think he might be telling the truth.
36:34We've re-watched the video, and after Michael collapses,
36:37no one goes near the bottle he drank from.
36:40And look, Jez Garman puts down the bottle here,
36:43and no one touches it again until...
36:46I do.
36:47There.
36:48So the poison was in the bottle all along?
36:51Nothing was added afterwards?
36:53No, sir.
36:55So how come the other two that drank from the bottle didn't die,
36:58and he did?
37:09You've reached Solomon.
37:11Leave a message, I'll get back to you.
37:14Sol, it's me again.
37:17Can you call me back, please?
37:23So I just heard back from a few of Jez and Anya's friends in the UK,
37:27trying to get a handle on their marriage breaking up.
37:32Right.
37:33No one was shocked.
37:34It seems Jez wasn't the most faithful of husbands.
37:38He saw it as a kind of...
37:40open marriage.
37:42Right, and what happens on tour stays on tour, then?
37:44And after three years of marriage,
37:46Anya felt betrayed and humiliated.
37:48Jez basically took her for granted,
37:50but obviously never expected her to actually leave.
37:53So when Anya hooked up with Michael,
37:55that must have really thrown him.
38:01Still haven't heard from your brother.
38:04You know what?
38:06I think he's actually ignoring my calls.
38:08I keep thinking about how things were between us,
38:10you know, when we last saw each other.
38:12They weren't great.
38:13In fact, if I'm honest,
38:14I kind of think it's because of me that
38:16we're going our separate ways.
38:18Then maybe you should go visit him in Antigua.
38:20You think?
38:20Yeah.
38:22Just go talk to him.
38:25I'm heading to the lab.
38:26You want me to drop you off at the shack?
38:28No.
38:30Take me to the high street, please.
38:31I need to get a bucket and spade.
38:34As in a...
38:36As in a kiddie's bucket and spade
38:38for, like, the beach?
38:40What other kind of bucket and spade is there?
38:43Sir, um...
38:44Is this for the case?
38:46Or...
38:48Are you having a break now?
38:49Probably both.
38:56Right.
38:58Well,
38:59that's me done.
39:05Sarge,
39:06you don't need to stress yourself over this
39:08Jez Garman complaint.
39:10Like you said,
39:11the man's a total bozo.
39:12And the commissioner will definitely see that.
39:14Car, he can't see through the lies.
39:19You're not too sure about it.
39:23There's something that you don't know
39:26about me
39:28from before
39:29before I, uh...
39:31I came back to St. Marie.
39:33In Jamaica,
39:34I...
39:36I messed up
39:37on a case
39:38big time.
39:40And...
39:42And some of my file
39:43and the commissioner knows about it.
39:46So...
39:47No.
39:48No, I'm not sure
39:49he's going to have my back on this.
39:52That's why you transferred.
39:59Well, I mean, look.
40:03I wouldn't be so sure
40:04about that, Sarge.
40:06Because one thing I know
40:07for a fact
40:08is that
40:09the commissioner wants to give
40:10everyone
40:11a chance.
40:13Because, I mean,
40:15he did with me.
40:17Best decision he ever made.
40:20I mean,
40:40Good morning, Sarge.
40:42Officer Rawls.
40:43Oh, say.
40:44Yes, Thomas.
40:44Sarge.
40:46Somebody's giving
40:46the inspector some hair.
40:49I never thought I'd see
40:50the day the man
40:51can have an afro.
40:52Whoever did this
40:53making a bold statement.
41:06Morning, Inspector.
41:08Have you seen the poster?
41:10Someone's giving you
41:11a glow-up.
41:12Yeah, I've seen it.
41:13That really brings out
41:14your cheekbones, Inspector.
41:15Kind of suits you.
41:17Oh, and he's got
41:17his little kiddies' buckets.
41:20And spades.
41:22Four of them, in fact.
41:24One bottle.
41:26One dose of poison.
41:31Three people
41:32drink the same liquid
41:34from the same bottle.
41:38Now, how come
41:38only one of them
41:39ingest the poison
41:40and the other two don't?
41:41Well, that's not possible.
41:43Why not?
41:45They're sand in all of them.
41:46Or poison, so how?
41:49How indeed, Sergeant Fletcher.
41:53Is that from the lab?
41:54Yes.
41:59Confirms the liquid in the bottle
42:02we found in Mr. Dempster's cigar box
42:05was LSD.
42:07Not legal,
42:08but definitely not murder.
42:11Oh, sir, your buckets.
42:12Oh.
42:24The sea's 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?
42:47I mean, what if it was there
42:49all along?
42:49I think you poisoned
42:51one of these lozenges
42:52and added poison
42:53to that wine bottle
42:54on stage after he died.
42:56No one goes near
42:57the bottle you drank from.
42:58As for the fiasco,
43:00fairly high glucose levels.
43:02And if that explains the bottle,
43:06then where did the poison come from?
43:08In a very, very swift
43:10makeup costume change
43:12reappear as Caliban
43:13in Act 1, Scene 2.
43:14And with my long nails
43:16I'll dig deep.
43:19Leave those.
43:23You know who did it.
43:26And I think I know why.
43:28But what about the how, Inspector?
43:30I mean, that's what
43:31the whole biggie's about, right?
43:32I'm pretty sure
43:33I know the how as well.
43:34But, Officer Rose,
43:35I need you to run
43:36another tox report on Mr. Farah,
43:38but I need a glass of water first.
43:39You're dehydrated.
43:40No, it's not to drink.
43:41It's just a little experiment
43:42that will finally prove
43:44what really happened
43:45on stage three days ago.
43:47One glass of water
43:48coming right up.
43:57Now,
43:58I don't want to talk
43:59ill of the dead.
44:01However,
44:02I think it's fair to say
44:03that Michael Farah
44:04was a selfish
44:06and self-interested individual
44:08who only cared about
44:10what he wanted in life
44:11and how he was going to get it.
44:14But did the malicious
44:15and hurtful things
44:16he did to each of you
44:18really mean
44:19he had to die?
44:22Anya,
44:23you obviously thought
44:24he did
44:26because it was you
44:27that poisoned him.
44:28What?
44:31I absolutely did not.
44:35The mystery we've been
44:36trying to solve
44:37throughout this case
44:38is how three people
44:40could drink from
44:43the same poisoned bottle
44:45yet only one of them dies.
44:48We didn't know it,
44:50but the answer has been
44:51right in front of us
44:52from the start.
44:53And in a way,
44:55Mr. Farah gave it to us
44:57in his dying breath.
44:59And with my long nails,
45:01I'll dig thee pig...
45:02And I,
45:03with my long nails,
45:04will dig thee pig nuts.
45:07Because that's the thing
45:08about Caliban.
45:09He was a monster,
45:11right?
45:11And as part of Michael's makeup
45:13to help make him
45:14look more
45:14monstery,
45:16his nails are painted.
45:19And that's how
45:20he was poisoned.
45:22We need to get this
45:23to the lab.
45:24But we've already had
45:25Michael's fingernails tested
45:26and it was confirmed
45:28there were traces of cyanide
45:30in the dried varnish.
45:32It was administered,
45:34Anya,
45:35by you
45:35during his wardrobe change
45:37from the bosun
45:38into his Caliban costume,
45:40makeup,
45:41and painted fingernails.
45:45Nathan,
45:46you said Michael
45:46would get particularly
45:48nervous
45:48while waiting
45:49to go on stage
45:50for Act 2, Scene 2.
45:51Yeah?
45:52A bit nervous.
45:52He would pace
45:53and bite his nails.
45:56Which after touring
45:57for 12 months together
45:59and having
46:00become intimate with him,
46:02you also knew Anya.
46:04But I told you,
46:06Michael only
46:06ended things with me
46:08half an hour
46:08before he died.
46:09How could I plan
46:10his murder in that time?
46:11You're right.
46:13Michael's murder
46:14was planned in advance.
46:16But now we know
46:17the killer
46:18had to be you.
46:19Then it follows
46:19that you'd already
46:21found out Michael
46:21was planning to end
46:22his relationship with you.
46:24You getting in?
46:26Yeah, maybe.
46:27And with Michael
46:28telling James as much...
46:29Look,
46:31I'm going to end
46:32things with Anya.
46:32I think you overheard
46:33that conversation.
46:34After everything,
46:35I thought you should know.
46:36And we believe
46:37that's when you
46:38decided to kill him.
46:40Then,
46:40if Michael's fingernails
46:42were poisoned,
46:44why was there
46:45poison in the bottle?
46:46That was to
46:47misdirect us,
46:48right?
46:49To confuse us
46:50with the seeming
46:51impossibility
46:52that three people
46:53could drink from it,
46:54but only one die.
46:56Why weren't
46:57they all killed?
46:58I'm glad you asked
46:59me that,
46:59Mr Dempster.
47:00Because to answer that,
47:02we need to look
47:02to your own plan
47:03to get back
47:04at Michael Farrow.
47:04We know
47:06Miss Chambers
47:07helped to put you
47:08to bed a number
47:08of times
47:09when you've
47:10overindulged.
47:12Nathan,
47:12your annual,
47:13they took it in turn
47:14to bless him
47:14and bring me to bed.
47:16And you admitted
47:17yourself
47:18you left the cigar box
47:19containing the syringe,
47:21the lozenges...
47:22I might have left it
47:23lying around.
47:24And this little bottle
47:25lying around the place.
47:27We believe
47:28you came across
47:29this box,
47:30Miss Chambers.
47:31OK, Rich.
47:33A sip of water.
47:37And that's when
47:38your plan started
47:39to take shape.
47:41But instead of
47:43using LSD,
47:45you used
47:46a fatal poison.
47:49Now, I have to admit,
47:51it didn't register
47:52with me at first,
47:53the significance.
47:54But when our lab
47:56tested the liquid
47:57in that poison bottle,
47:59the cherry juice...
48:00As for the fiasco...
48:02They found the level
48:03of glucose in it.
48:05Higher than normal.
48:07That's where
48:07this comes in.
48:10Just over an hour ago,
48:12I dropped one of
48:13Mr. Dempster's
48:14throat lozenges
48:15in this glass of water.
48:17And now, look.
48:19It's gone.
48:22Dissolved.
48:24And that's exactly
48:26what you did, Anya,
48:27with that wine bottle.
48:28Just before yourself,
48:29Jez, and Michael
48:30went on that stage
48:31for Act 2, Scene 2.
48:33You see,
48:34as long as the lozenge
48:36was whole
48:36and hadn't dissolved,
48:38Jez,
48:39it was safe to drink from.
48:42Which you all did.
48:45But by the time
48:47we arrived
48:48at the crime scene
48:49and sent the bottle
48:50to the lab
48:50to be tested,
48:52the lozenge
48:52had already
48:53melted away,
48:54releasing the poison,
48:56making it seem like
48:58it had been there
48:59all along.
49:01But why?
49:03Why did you kill him?
49:06Anya,
49:08when you and Michael
49:09got together,
49:10you were still feeling
49:12hurt
49:13and embarrassed
49:15by your husband's
49:16ongoing infidelities,
49:19him taking you
49:20for granted.
49:21So for Michael,
49:23the kindred spirit
49:24that you'd risked
49:26everything for
49:27to humiliate you
49:28even further
49:29by finishing with you
49:31only a few months
49:32after getting together,
49:33well,
49:34a bit more than hurt.
49:36And that's when
49:38you realised
49:38that perhaps
49:40the rumours
49:41you've heard
49:42about Michael,
49:43which you previously
49:44dismissed,
49:46were actually true.
49:47That Mr Dempster's
49:49claim that Michael
49:50spiked him
49:52actually happened.
49:54Did you tell them
49:55what Michael did?
49:56Yes.
49:56I don't think Anya
49:57believed me, but...
49:58And that Nathan Burns'
49:59own past run-in
50:00with Mr Farrell
50:01was more than
50:02mere gossip.
50:03There's been gossip
50:04amongst the cast
50:05that there's
50:05history between them.
50:07So you decided
50:08to do something
50:09that was long overdue.
50:11And on behalf
50:11of yourself
50:12and everyone else
50:13here whose life
50:14he'd ruin,
50:16you would give
50:17Michael something
50:18he deserved
50:19to make him
50:20the one
50:21to finally suffer.
50:23His own downfall,
50:25his own humiliation.
50:27Right there on that stage,
50:29for all the world
50:30to see.
50:32And that,
50:33Miss Chambers,
50:34is why you killed him.
50:44Anya Chambers,
50:46I'm arresting you
50:47for the murder
50:47of Michael Farrell.
50:49You do not have to say
50:51anything,
50:52but it may harm
50:53your defence
50:53if you do not
50:55mention when questioned
50:57something which
50:58you lay to rely on
50:59in court.
51:12You're not seeing
51:13another yourself already?
51:14It's never a knock.
51:18Return of the bozo.
51:20Could we have a quick
51:21chat, please?
51:26I just want to let you
51:27know that I officially
51:28dropped my complaint
51:29this morning
51:30and I wanted to say
51:33I'm sorry.
51:35You know you could
51:36have lost me my job
51:37just because I wouldn't
51:39have a drink with you.
51:40What kind of sick
51:41little messed up brain
51:42you have?
51:43Yeah, that's pretty much
51:44what your commissioner said.
51:45Wait, the commissioner?
51:46Yeah, he was the one
51:48who insisted I apologise
51:49and said he was going
51:50to charge me
51:50with wasting police time
51:52and he caught my agent.
51:53He's a pretty
51:53terrifying guy, actually.
51:56Oh, and there he is.
51:58OK.
51:59Well, look,
52:00I'd rather not have
52:01to deal with him again,
52:01so I'm really sorry.
52:14Sir?
52:16He apologised.
52:18He did.
52:20Thank you, sir.
52:21I'm sorry I couldn't get him
52:23to drop his complaint sooner.
52:25The man was clearly
52:26making it all up.
52:30So you knew he was lying
52:32all along?
52:33Of course.
52:34But one has to follow
52:36procedure in situations
52:38like this.
52:40It's...
52:43I just...
52:45I just...
52:46I just thought
52:46you didn't believe me, sir.
52:48You know,
52:48after everything
52:50that happened before.
52:52You made
52:53a promise to me
52:54that there were going
52:56to be no more
52:57mistakes.
52:58And
52:59I tend to take people
53:01at their word.
53:02You're a good sergeant.
53:03I can see that.
53:05So,
53:06keep it up.
53:29OK.
53:30If I get a bullseye
53:32on this next throw,
53:33I'll book a ticket
53:34to Antigua
53:35and I'll go
53:36and see Seoul.
53:51Um...
53:53Maybe make it
53:54best of three?
53:55Yeah.
53:58Another bullseye
53:59and I'm definitely
54:00going to Antigua.
54:14I don't believe it.
54:21Well,
54:21that's that then.
54:23I guess it's
54:23really happening.
54:29Yes, Thomas.
54:31I'm just letting you know
54:33I won't be coming in tomorrow.
54:35I'm actually taking
54:36your advice as it goes.
54:37I'm going to see Seoul.
54:41Yeah?
54:42Well,
54:42I mean,
54:43I don't even know
54:44if he wants to see me,
54:45but...
54:45Hey,
54:46what's the worst
54:47that can happen?
55:01more water, please?
55:03I think it rather
55:04suits him.
55:05Yeah?
55:06As the same thing
55:06I said, sir.
55:07Looks like
55:08one of the Jackson 5.
55:09And it is rather amusing,
55:11isn't it?
55:19Sir?
55:20Yes, Thomas?
55:21What is it?
55:22I think something
55:22has happened
55:23to the inspector.
55:35Oh.
55:37Oh.
55:38Oh.
55:39Oh.
55:39Oh.
55:39Oh.
55:41Oh.
55:44What the hell's going on?
55:50You.
55:52You.
55:52You.
