00:00Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you the Luska.
00:05This giant cephalopod-like sea creature, half octopus, half shark,
00:10is, 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,
00:22who believe this gigantic cryptid to be as real as you or I.
00:27I will present to you the evidence I have collated,
00:30proving this animal is no mere figment of the imagination.
00:33And it all begins with the first sighting,
00:36off the coast of St. Marie in 1823,
00:40by 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
01:07where you can experience the exact place
01:09my ancestor witnessed.
01:12The Luska.
01:14Roll up, roll up!
01:16You know you want to.
01:17And I promise you guys,
01:19you will not be disappointed.
01:22So, how was it?
01:24You're a believer now.
01:26To be honest,
01:29I 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.
01:46Either that's him
01:47or we've come to a soup kitchen by mistake.
01:53Hello, Giles.
01:55Cara.
01:56It's been a while, hasn't it?
01:58Oh.
01:59Oh, er...
02:01Stop me.
02:03Oh.
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.
02:28Ah.
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 to where it happened.
02:55If you fancy joining, you remember him together?
02:57No, I'd rather stay here.
02:59With Rory.
03:13Come on.
03:19Poor guy.
03:29All right, well, let her...
03:30All right, well, let her...
03:49All right, well, let her...
03:57It's just a bad dream.
04:06How have you been?
04:08Just went for a walk. That's all.
04:12Thanks.
05:10Good morning, sir. You good?
05:13No, I am not good.
05:16What's wrong?
05:17Turns out I am an uncle.
05:20Yes, Mum.
05:21Unless 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, understood?
05:36OK. Clearly touched a nerve there.
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 Vondra,
05:55but she doesn't like it better, so 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.
06:12And secondly, it's not Uncle Merv.
06:15It's Mervyn, remember?
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.
06:27You'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 Coast Guard now.
06:50A couple of fishermen going out early this morning came 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 on the heart.
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 and drags you under.
07:28Hence...
07:29A sea monster?
07:30Not everybody believes in this thing.
07:32Most people don't, but...
07:34Do you?
07:35No, but it's still part of our history.
07:38Part 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.
07:55I've always wondered whether this would come back to haunt me.
07:59Seven years ago yesterday,
08:01Giles Parry's 16-year-old son, Benjamin, drowned that seal.
08:08In the exact same location as Giles' body was found this morning.
08:14A local fisherman told me that Mr. Parry had sailed out to that spot yesterday.
08:20To pay his respects.
08:23Then he ended up dead himself.
08:26Mm-hm.
08:28Was he stormy yesterday?
08:30Called the harbour master.
08:31It was calm for the last 24 hours.
08:34And do 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.
08:44He says there was definitely nobody else on the boat with him.
08:48It's arrived at the final destination.
08:50Half an hour later, radar shows no other boat near it at any point.
08:54So, what happened to him?
08:56How did he end up dead with all those weird markings on him?
09:00Unless, you know, it was the last girl.
09:06I hate to break it to you, Officer Rose, but sea monsters don't exist?
09:09No, yeah.
09:10I 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,
09:51but the fact that we found this on it means it's suspicious.
09:56I 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,
10:08but he did drink at her bar and he would talk to her.
10:13I'm also going to contact the Guadalupe police
10:16and 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
10:27when the empty boat was discovered, they stayed there clean.
10:32Heh.
10:33I bet that rankled.
10:34I did push for us to have a role,
10:36but the senior investigating officer wasn't interested.
10:44There's some people on St. Marie who think I should have pressed harder,
10:50especially when they ran into a dead end early on.
10:55It's always been felt more could have been done.
10:59Not by me.
11:05Considering I am already persona non grata,
11:10I would like to do my bit to try and solve this case now
11:15and win back the community's trust.
11:18I've located the victim's ex-wife.
11:20She and her partner are staying at a hotel just outside Tom.
11:32We arrived here two days ago
11:34to mark the anniversary of Kara's son's passing.
11:39I'm sorry to ask, Miss Smart, but your son Benjamin,
11:43why did he take the boat out on his own?
11:46Giles had always been into UFOs and aliens,
11:51that kind of thing.
11:52Our holidays were spent visiting Loch Ness
11:55or the Bermuda Triangle.
11:57The Luska here on St. Marie.
11:59Ben was getting even more fanatical than he stood.
12:02That's why he snuck out on his own
12:05and took the boat we'd hired out
12:07for a last-ditch sighting of the Luska.
12:10The weather turned bad, the sea was rough,
12:13and he never came back.
12:20I kept hoping they'd find him alive
12:23with a life jacket on just floating somewhere.
12:25As 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.
12:38I just needed some space, some time to process it all.
12:44Whereas he...
12:48Giles was convinced the Luska took their son.
12:52He became obsessed.
12:53That's why he stayed on here when I left.
12:56To try and prove the Luska exists.
12:59And he really, truly believed 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 believe 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.
13:43We're still working on that one.
13:54Hey, my friend's dad swears he saw the Luska one time.
13:57Okay, Seth. Come on.
13:59There's never the same afterwards.
14:02Let's keep our focus on the keys.
14:15Let's go.
14:31Auntie Vondra.
14:32I mean, Vondra.
14:40Vondra, Vondra, it's all right.
14:42She's back at my place. She's safe.
14:43Thanks.
14:44Okay, look, I'll call you back in a bit.
14:47Mo?
14:49Hey, Uncle Mo.
14:51Hope you're 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.
15:01You really are your father's daughter, aren't you?
15:03I know, right?
15:04What's going on, Eloise?
15:06Why are you back here?
15:09Because...
15:09We need to talk.
15:11About 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,
15:19you're shoving me on her 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.
15:37What exactly did your dad tell you about him being arrested?
15:41Just that he was set up.
15:43And shouldn't be in jail.
15:45That it's miscarriage.
15:48A miscarriage of justice.
15:51So, we need to help him.
15:53Right?
15:57Why don't you go and get some plates and cutlery, yeah?
16:07I'm sorry, you idiots.
16:11I'm sorry, you idiots.
16:31I'm sorry, you idiots.
16:32That he's 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.
16:44What are you going to do?
16:46I should just tell her the truth, right?
16:49Just...
16:51Tell her in a nice way.
16:53Not in a...
16:54Your kind of way.
16:57Well, isn't my kind of way, you know sometimes you can be a
17:02tiny bit insensitive
17:05insensitive
17:06Me insensitive or that is rubbish. I mean if anything, it's everyone else who is too sensitive. Sure. That's totally
17:15what sis
17:19Eloise
17:22Right, um, I'm off to work now
17:26So we can have dinner later. Yeah, and we'll
17:31We'll talk okay. I'll come back
17:37Old school. I like it
17:45Right where we at with the case anything from the lab yet
17:49Post-mortems estimating time of death between 730 and 8 p.m. So
17:54The victim leaves the harbour at 7
17:58dies between 730 and 8 at sea just after he drops anchor and
18:03And cause of death was internal bleeding due to a ruptured spleen which in theory could have been caused by
18:12something
18:13gripping him tightly like the tentacles of the Lusk
18:18Or more likely something else
18:23Same with the red markings kind of like friction burns, but there's nothing that they seem to suggest what might
18:30have caused it
18:31What about the search of the victims house?
18:34Matty 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, I'm so rose. You start on the computer. I'll hit the cabinets
19:10All right cool
19:18You all right, Sarge?
19:20Yeah, it's just my old bus from Jamaica. I'll call him once we're done with this
19:35So what do we know about our victim jiles parry worked as a paramedic back in the uk until he
19:41moved 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 missed alliances background and financial checks
19:56But he and Cara have been together just over a year met on a dating app now as he only
20:01met the victim for the first time
20:03Yesterday I'm struggling to find a reason for him wanting mr. Parry dead
20:07But she's a different story miss smart previously worked as a teacher before giving that up to write a book
20:14a few years ago a memoir
20:16About losing her son. I skim read it and she's very honest about how hurt and angry she felt about
20:23jiles's behavior
20:25When I needed my husband's love the most he disappeared down the rabbit hole of fantasy casting me aside for
20:32his futile belief in a mythical beast
20:35I mean the guy had gone full-on loony tune didn't he?
20:38What was that you said earlier about not being insensitive?
20:42Look, I'm not where it gets interesting is the books no longer bringing in any money. She's basically broke
20:49I spoke to her literary agents in the uk and apparently a us tv production company has offered to make
20:56a documentary about her and jousey's son going missing
20:59It's worth a quarter of a million dollars
21:03I'm sensing a but it going ahead
21:06Was dependent on mr. Parry agreeing to appear in the documentary too don't tell me
21:13He 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 was
21:27According to them you got quite worked up miss smarts angry that your ex-husband was refusing to agree to
21:34the documentary
21:35Well, that's an exaggeration if ever I heard one. No, it's not. It's the truth
21:38just please
21:39I need this why are you being so stubborn because I know what they'll do make me have to look
21:44like some mad conspiracy theorist
21:46I hate you charles so much
21:51I didn't just lose a son seven years ago. I lost my husband as well
21:56He never once thought of me that maybe he needed to be there for me
22:02and even now years later, I asked for his help because
22:05Yes, I need the money. I thought at least he owed me that one favor, but
22:11No
22:12Not even that thing is miss smart we checked with the production company and that documentary has officially got the
22:17go-ahead
22:18So now we charge dying in suspicious circumstances and even the locals saying it was the lusker that did it
22:24Well, it's need more tantalizing proposition than it was before you get exactly what you wanted. No, you're wrong
22:29I didn't kill chance to get some documentary made
22:33I'm not that desperate
22:36I'll visit it this
22:40So 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
22:50It wasn't me it just wasn't
22:54Sir
23:00That was my tissues 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
23:21I've moored my boat a few miles out that coordinates are
23:2516 degrees 32 minutes 29.8 seconds north 61 degrees 55 minutes 0 1.8 seconds west
23:32There's a sinkhole on the seabed there where i previously identified as a possible home for the creature
23:37Amazing
23:38It was just getting dark
23:40I heard it
23:41Felt it
23:42A thud as it hit the bow of the boat and again and then again
23:46Like i could hear it dragging itself along as it tried to pull away
23:49It was her
23:50I know it was
23:52The lusker
23:54I've got to go back again tonight
23:57Totally amazing
24:04Just 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
24:14No, of course, we don't what there is more to it
24:18Giles parry uploaded this flood to his website two days before his death
24:23We checked his gps and he went back to the same exact location the next night
24:29here
24:31And this isn't the same location jiles his body was found
24:35Where his son benjamin went missing no that was two miles away here
24:39But the thing is when jiles got back he deleted this video straight away
24:44So why
24:45catherine spoke to him shortly after and he seemed troubled
24:51Everything all right giles
24:55He asked me about the commissioner knew i was friend with him and
24:59Said he might need to speak with him is it to do with benjamin's disappearance?
25:05I don't know
25:07Maybe
25:16Hang on these are the same colden as he talked about in his vlog now. I don't know what happened
25:20there, but it's clearly of significance
25:25We should go out there do a reenactment yeah same time same place same boat find out what this x
25:32is all about
25:33I was so hoping he was gonna say that inspector
25:36I can't believe you're going on a monster hunt that's not what we're doing that's not what you're doing
25:49I
25:50Don'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
25:58Well, you can't you're staying with catherine tonight. We're getting you home first thing in the morning all right
26:03But we need to talk about dad still
26:09Okay
26:11Look about your dad. I don't know what he told you but it certainly wasn't factual what he was arrested
26:17for
26:17It's serious
26:19And I should know because I was there when it happened
26:23What are you saying?
26:26Eloise
26:29Listen there was no miscarriage of justice all right. He wasn't falsely accused your dad is guilty
26:36So no, I can't help you find new evidence
26:40And 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
26:53I mean, that's where your mom is, right?
26:55And yeah, you don't want to stay with me, do you?
26:59Of course I don't
27:00I've got a life to get on with
27:03So what's your problem?
27:06This must be Eloise
27:09It's nice to meet you
27:12Hey, thanks for looking after me
27:14See you on Robin
27:21So my chef, we cook you anything you want
27:39Hey inspector, ready for my car stop?
27:42Uh huh
27:45You know sir, this isn't exactly the safest boat I've been on
27:49The two liferings there are missing their ropes, so let's hope no one goes overboard
28:02Is that the benjamin perry case for?
28:04Oh
28:05Just arrived from guadeloupe commissioners making a start going through it all
28:31Can I speak to you for a minute about the private master commissioner?
28:42Of course
28:42I got a couple of missed calls from my old bus in Jamaica today and I haven't called him back
28:50Because I think I know what it's to do with
28:53I think I know what it's to do with
29:21But not that the two are connected
29:24Then my ex is a criminal
29:28I think I'd rather keep it that way for now
29:32Nearing the destination, no commissioner
29:35Dropping the anchor soon
29:36Thank you, officer Rose
29:38Aye aye captain, aye aye
29:48Must have been frustrating, not having oversight of that case
30:01Velosco?
30:02It can't be
30:03Whatever it is, it's the same song Giles Barry heard
30:10You hear that?
30:12Yeah, we heard it
30:13Can you see anything?
30:14Nah, no, it's not the last game
30:15Sure, so like it is
30:17Can you see anything outside?
30:18No, nothing
30:19Me neither
30:21Anything now?
30:22Over here, there's something moving
30:23Where?
30:24Yes, Thomas?
30:25There's something down there, I can see him moving
30:28Sergeant Fletcher, what are you doing?
30:31That ain't no sea monster
30:34Patty!
30:48Superwoman, you've cut my ass up right
30:50That's Kelvin Mason
30:52He runs a boat excursion business in the harbour
30:55There's some sort of box under there
30:57It looks like it's time to wait
30:58To stop it moving
31:14Inspector, here's the box we salvaged from the sea
31:19Your gun, we found on your jet ski, Mr. Mason
31:26Your keys
31:27Let's see if one of these fits, shall we?
31:33Your box
31:45Cocaine, I'm guessing
31:47Around two kilos
31:49You'll be charged for this
31:54Look, I'm just the middle man, all right?
31:56I don't sell it, I don't buy it
31:58I just make some extra money moving it from A to B
32:01Giles Parry was on to you, wasn't he?
32:04At first he thought it was the Luska
32:06Making those noises beneath his boat
32:11I didn't know he'd moored above me
32:13Couldn't stop myself from hitting it when I came back up
32:15That's what he heard
32:17Me banging against the bottom of his boat
32:19And when he went to the same location a second time to try and catch sight of it
32:24Hello, the Luska
32:26I've got to go back again tonight
32:27He discovered what you were up to
32:29That'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 see me
32:36When I went back to the harbour
32:38I 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
32:47Helped him with his research a couple of times
32:50So I thought he might give me a chance
32:53And?
32:54He told me he'd think about it
32:58But didn't reckon he could ignore it
33:01And next thing he's found floating six miles out at sea, dead
33:04I didn't do that to him, I swear
33:06His 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
33:24When Giles' son disappeared as a witness
33:28Everybody around the harbour was
33:30Was that got to do with anything?
33:31So that also is just a coincidence
33:35Yes, it is
33:38Look, if it wasn't you then
33:39Where were you at 7.30 the night Giles Perry was murdered?
33:44Um, I was taking a drink with a guy who works for me
33:47Um, a fella named Jackson
33:50You fancy another?
33:51Call him, ask him, he'll tell you
33:53I swear
33:58But there'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
34:09To see if he changed his mind about talking with the police
34:14When I turned the corner
34:15He 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
34:26But he took out this folder
34:28And he gave it to him
34:30Now 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
35:08With respect
35:09Shouldn't we just focus on solving the Giles Perry case right now?
35:13This isn't a cold 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
35:22Okay
35:28I admit we argued
35:30Giles and I
35:31It was more than an argument, Mr Lyons, from what we were told
35:35Things might have got a bit physical
35:37But what he was saying upset me
35:39Which 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
35:52Pay a private investigator to look into Rory and his ex
35:57That's what he found
36:01So your previous partner
36:04Invested in your business
36:06Which 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
36:18It'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
36:30I don't want a penny
36:31I just want to be with Cara
36:34So why did you follow Mr Perry down to the harbour after dinner?
36:38Because he was being so unforgiving towards Cara
36:40Saying that she was using their son's tragedy to line her own pockets
36:44I 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
37:29When I got back to the hotel about half an hour later
37:33He was out at sea
37:36What 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 Perry 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
38:30Finally made his peace with the world
38:33Which kind of makes me wonder
38:35You know
38:37Did Giles Perry 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?
39:05Maybe these two have the answer
39:09Just come straight from the lab
39:11Please 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
39:18Same make, same calibre, but
39:20Hang on
39:21No striation marks at all
39:23Said they've been worn away
39:24By incrustation of marine organisms
39:29Corrosion patterns suggest
39:31That bullet has been on the seabed for 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 Pyre take his own life?
39:49The two liferings there are missing their ropes
39:52Giles Pyre worked as a paramedic back in the UK
39:55Until he moved out here seven years ago
39:57Now 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
40:29Sir
40:30We'll crack the case
40:31Benjamin Parry's disappearance
40:33I think I know what happened
40:39Spot the difference
41:01We 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
41:21The legendary sea monster he'd spent seven years searching for
41:24I'd 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
41:41But we've now realized that his injuries were actually sustained in two separate locations
41:49The first injury, the bruising to his stomach and the rupturing of his spleen
41:53That happened on dry land
41:56Down by the harbour
41:58When you and he tussled, Rory
42:01You'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
42:08However, 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 discomforts in his abdomen
42:40Feeling 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
42:55So it's safe to assume he worked out what was wrong
43:01That he had minutes left to live
43:03I'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 he had with you, Mr Lyons
43:21And subsequently, some time in prison
43:24And knowing what you told him about yourself and Kara wanting to start a family
43:29Well, he didn't want to inflict any further suffering on you both
43:33That's the way he phoned
43:35And asked Rory if he loved me
43:38That's why he needed to know
43:40To be sure
43:42Do you love her?
43:43He could protect you both
43:45By making it look like
43:48He killed himself
43:52It was Dias Thomas who noticed the ropes were missing from the life rings on Giles' boat
43:57The two life rings there are missing their ropes
44:00So let's hope no one comes overboard
44:02I 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
44:20They found the ropes tied to the boat's spare battery on the seabed
44:25Okay
44:26Thank you, Sergeant Fletcher
44:29So
44:31We think Giles knew
44:32That 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
44:41He 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?
44:58Because of this
45:02As Giles sank to the seabed
45:05By some quirk of fate, he saw this bullet
45:09Maybe it got caught under a rock
45:12Or 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
45:27That was going on out at sea
45:29Not far from the same spot
45:31Giles is already beginning to suspect that his son's
45:34Your son's disappearance might have been for more sinister reasons
45:38Is it to do with Benjamin's disappearance?
45:41Maybe
45:42So we believe
45:43He loosened the rope
45:46Grabbed the bullet
45:47And allowed himself to float to the surface
45:50Determined to cling to life as long as possible
45:55But by then
45:56It was already too late for him to climb back on board his boat
45:59So with his life ebbing away
46:01Giles 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
46:15To not give up on his son
46:17That maybe
46:19Ben's killer was still out there
46:22That's what you meant about the bullet helping with the past
46:24My son's case
46:27My son's case
46:54And has it
46:54To kill
46:56To kill
46:56Benjamin Parry
46:58But he drowned at sea
46:59Why 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
47:42But in this photograph of Benjamin and his father
47:47The wall behind your desk is set farther back from the window
47:52Than it is in this photograph of you
47:55Where it appears 40 or 50 centimeters closer to it
48:01Which left me wondering why less than 48 hours later
48:08Your office had seemingly shrunk
48:13The 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 formed
48:26And if he was then it would be discovered that he'd been shot
48:32Whereas if you hid his body and everybody assumed he drowned at sea
48:39Then maybe you'd get away with it
48:45But where to hide it
48:48We have a team at your office as we speak
48:52About to tear down that wall
48:56So if I'm wrong about what's been hidden behind it the last seven years
49:02You have nothing to worry about
49:05But if I am right
49:08Now is your chance to start talking
49:23That morning
49:27Seven years ago
49:30It was real early
49:34But when I got back up with the day's delivery
49:38He was there recording me on his phone
49:42For 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
49:54So I got the lockbox
49:55Which you moved to a new location
49:58Two miles away
50:00Where your smuggling continued
50:03Until Giles Parry discovered what you were doing all these years
50:09And Benjamin Parry's body
50:15I took it ashore
50:20I put him in one of the cases
50:23We stole the diving gear
50:25It's air tight so
50:28I spent the whole day
50:30Getting everything I needed for that wall
50:34Spent the whole night building it
50:38And I have lived with it
50:40Every day since
50:42Mind how you go
50:43And y'all let me know how it went
50:45You're with real pirate royalty now
50:48Knowing that poor boy
50:51Is stuck behind that wall
50:53Will haunt me forever
51:00Galvin Mason
51:02I am arresting you for the murder of Benjamin Parry
51:05You do not have to say anything
51:07But it may harm your defence
51:08If you do not mention my question
51:10This call is from a person currently in prison in Antigua
51:25Solomon
51:27Mervyn
51:27I know you said you didn't want anything to do with me no more
51:30But 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 there
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 a good man
51:56Solomon, I can't
51:58You are a man
51:59I know I'm not
52:01I have made a mess of pretty much everything in my life
52:04But that's why I'm asking this one thing
52:07This one fear of her
52:09Her mum and aunt are cool but
52:12She's her dad's girl, you know
52:14Me and her
52:16With something special
52:19And her stupid father's got himself stuck in prison, so
52:22She really needs her uncle in her life right now
52:26Because you're the closest thing she's got to me
52:37So
52:38That's the queen
52:40She's the one to keep her eye on
52:42All you have to do is find the lady
52:54This one
53:02Wrong again was here all along
53:23I've had people arrested in covent garden for that, you know
53:25Your dad taught you I assume
53:30Look, I'm
53:33I'm not good at this kind of thing
53:35Okay
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
53:51Like I haven't
53:53Like I haven't
53:53You kind of grow up
53:55Assuming people don't want you
53:56Or 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
54:07Giving your uncle Merv a second chance then
54:10Maybe 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
54:21Really like that
54:23You wanna shake on it
54:26We 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 saint marie police force
54:47For all their hard work in achieving this
54:50It's a divert from the station
54:55Yeah
54:59But I'd especially like to thank
55:02Commissioner Selwyn Paterson for uncovering a truth that no one else was able to
55:08I will be forever grateful
55:17What's with me?
55:18It's for you
55:20You're the man
55:31So uh that diverged
55:33It's for you
55:34It's for you
55:35Some guy named Damon
55:36I mean said to give him a card when he got the charm
55:59I'm gonna 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
56:10Sea monsters?
56:12You didn't tell me we're hunting sea monsters
56:14That's because we weren't
56:15Well not all of us anyway
56:17All right
56:18Eloise
56:19This is Commissioner Paterson my boss
56:21It's a pleasure to meet you
56:23You too
56:25Right let's go
