0:00:12 > 0:00:17- Detective Inspector Poole. I take it you're here for me.- Very good.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19What gave us away?
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Well, unless you're on some weird stag do...
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Vincent Carter. This is the prisoner, Leon Hamilton.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31He is officially now in your custody...
0:00:31 > 0:00:35but I have been given orders to escort you to Saint-Marie.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36Thank you, Vincent.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Mr Hamilton, you understand that, on arrival,
0:00:39 > 0:00:43we take you to Saint-Marie Jail where you'll serve the remainder of your sentence.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Pardon.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57After you.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06So, you've been to Saint-Marie before?
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Not that you'll see much of it from inside the prison.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Perhaps when you get out.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16I suppose I ought to make the best of the view while I still can.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- Good book?- Not really.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40I think Agatha Christie's my favourite. Murder on the Orient Express.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Now that was a good book,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45unlike this, where the murder victim died
0:01:45 > 0:01:47actually clutching a photograph of his killer.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50From what I've read so far,
0:01:50 > 0:01:51this case could only have been easier
0:01:51 > 0:01:55if the murderer had "Yes, I did it" tattooed on his forehead.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Then you wouldn't need a murder detective at all.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00A trained chimp would suffice.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05"Inspector Bubbles of the Yard". Got a ring to it.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07I do love a good murder.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21It's always a bit rough when we leave the harbour, just until we get round the point.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25I'm sorry, but do you think I could stretch my legs for a bit? Get some fresh air?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Do you have to? - I really don't feel too good.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Very well.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Everything OK?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37He wants to stretch his legs for a bit.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38I'll come with you.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Do you think you'll be sick?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47A warning would be appreciated if you do.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Just so that I can take wind direction into account,
0:02:52 > 0:02:53take evasive action.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55I can't say I blame you.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Excuse me!
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Never liked waves,
0:03:02 > 0:03:05not since a family holiday to the Isle of Wight when I was nine.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08That was a ferry.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10The "SS Vomit" I think it was called.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Oh, there we go! Sorry, probably not helping, is it? All this talk...
0:03:18 > 0:03:20WOMAN SCREAMS
0:03:23 > 0:03:24Vincent!
0:03:24 > 0:03:26SCREAMING
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Nobody move! Vincent!
0:04:11 > 0:04:13What happened?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Leon Hamilton, the prisoner. I'm afraid we lost him.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17He got away?
0:04:17 > 0:04:20No. "Lost him" as in...
0:04:20 > 0:04:21you know, dead.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23What was it? A heart attack?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26While he was still handcuffed to you? That's terrible!
0:04:26 > 0:04:29No, it wasn't a heart attack. He was more...
0:04:29 > 0:04:32murdered. Stabbed, to be precise.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Wait, wait! Someone murdered him when he was still handcuffed to you?!
0:04:36 > 0:04:40I want a full passenger list. Background checks, see if you can find any link with the deceased.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Don't forget the ferry crew. - And you didn't see who it was?
0:04:48 > 0:04:51I looked away for one second.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- What?- Nothing. - You think it's amusing?- No.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- Have you called the commissioner yet?- No, why?
0:05:04 > 0:05:08He asked you to collect the prisoner in person to ensure the transfer went smoothly.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- Yeah.- Well, it didn't, did it?
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- Go smoothly?- No.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- Do you want me to come with you? - I'm not a child!
0:05:16 > 0:05:18OK!
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Have you any idea
0:05:21 > 0:05:24how much paperwork this will generate?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26What on earth were you doing?
0:05:26 > 0:05:29How can someone murder the person standing next to you,
0:05:29 > 0:05:31and you not even notice?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33I mean, it should be funny.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36It sounds funny. They're laughing at Government House,
0:05:36 > 0:05:38laughing when they see me.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40But I'm not laughing.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43I've been lobbying for months to bring Leon Hamilton
0:05:43 > 0:05:46to Saint-Marie to finish his sentence.
0:05:46 > 0:05:51I even sent my most senior officer to go and collect him.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Do you know why I sent you, Inspector?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Well, I...
0:05:56 > 0:06:00I sent you because I wanted the transfer to go smoothly...
0:06:02 > 0:06:03..without incident.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Why? Because I couldn't imagine how embarrassing it would be
0:06:07 > 0:06:12should he escape whilst in the custody of the Saint-Marie police force.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Look, I had...
0:06:14 > 0:06:17A concern that pales into insignificance
0:06:17 > 0:06:19now that he's been murdered
0:06:19 > 0:06:23whilst handcuffed to one of our murder detectives!
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Where were you?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32The sea was rough around the point. It happened so fast.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35I've spoken to your superiors.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38You will stay on the island until I release you.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- Sir, I...- It isn't a request.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43They're arranging some accommodation for you,
0:06:43 > 0:06:47- and I want a report on my desk by first thing in the morning.- Sir.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48Now get out of my sight!
0:06:52 > 0:06:55It wasn't his fault, sir. The prisoner was in my custody.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59I'd say that's hardly something to be proud of, Inspector.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03I could understand if he was secretly poisoned,
0:07:03 > 0:07:06in fact, secretly anything!
0:07:06 > 0:07:09I could even forgive a gunshot from another boat,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12or a jet ski or a helicopter.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16But no, a knife was plunged into his back
0:07:16 > 0:07:20while you were standing next to him, joined at the wrists!
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- Sir.- Sir.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30Sir.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Are you OK?
0:07:38 > 0:07:42The commissioner and I had a frank exchange of views,
0:07:43 > 0:07:46and it was decided I hadn't exactly covered myself in glory
0:07:46 > 0:07:50as far as the prisoner's transfer was concerned.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52I wholeheartedly agreed with him,
0:07:52 > 0:07:56and suggested I be shipped back to London in disgrace.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59He refused, but it was worth a try.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01So,
0:08:01 > 0:08:03as I'm still stuck here,
0:08:03 > 0:08:08I intend to find the person who murdered Leon Hamilton...
0:08:10 > 0:08:12..who caused me no little embarrassment
0:08:12 > 0:08:15if it's the last thing I ever do.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17In fact, to coin a phrase,
0:08:17 > 0:08:20"this time it's personal".
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Where is the bin?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- SHOUTS:- There is never a bin!
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Thank you.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29I spoke to the coroner, he'll do the autopsy later,
0:08:29 > 0:08:33but it looks like a single knife wound, entry point under the shoulder blade.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38Then it must have pierced the heart in order for death to be instantaneous.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42And you think it was? Instantaneous?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44I may have missed the actual blow, Camille,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47but I think I'd have noticed if he'd started screaming
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- and clutching at his back.- Sorry(!)
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Right. What about the passengers?
0:08:59 > 0:09:00We've got witness statements,
0:09:00 > 0:09:03but it will take a while to cross-check them.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Right, you get onto that. Fidel, I want Leon Hamilton's file sent over.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09I want to know details of his circle.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Business associates, lovers, jealous siblings,
0:09:12 > 0:09:14anyone who may have had a reason to kill him.
0:09:14 > 0:09:20I also want the autopsy report and any forensics on the murder weapon on my desk the second they're done.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Yes, sir.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- So where do we start?- Well, means and opportunity are self-evident,
0:09:25 > 0:09:28so the key has to be motive.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Who wanted Leon Hamilton dead?
0:09:37 > 0:09:38HE KNOCKS
0:09:45 > 0:09:47He's dead.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50And you owe me fifty grand.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56There were 180 passengers. We can maybe discount 50 of those.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Why?
0:09:57 > 0:10:02We have witness statements placing them either in the inside section or in a group.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- That still leaves 130 suspects. - And none of them saw anything?
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Nothing. The ferry captain also said you were only about a mile away from the coast
0:10:09 > 0:10:10when the victim was found dead.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Meaning someone could have swum to shore after the murder.
0:10:13 > 0:10:18So we can't even be sure that the killer was still on the ferry when you got to Saint-Marie?
0:10:18 > 0:10:22- If you're looking at suspects, I think I can add some names.- How many?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Just about...900.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Well, it's hardly my idea of a luxury resort.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33A tad underdeveloped, you might say.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34What actually happened?
0:10:34 > 0:10:38About two years ago, hundreds of people on the island invested in Paradise Beach.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42When it went under, they all lost their money.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43It was worse than that.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Small businesses put their money in, hoping to get the catering and cleaning contracts.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Other people put their pension funds in.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51It destroyed a lot of lives.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53That's terrible.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55The construction company was based in Guadeloupe.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Leon Hamilton was charged with embezzlement and false accounting.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02That's why the commissioner wanted him to finish his sentence here.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- So that justice could be seen to be done.- Yes.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09The commissioner's name is on here, too.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10So he knew Leon Hamilton?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12I doubt it. But officially...
0:11:12 > 0:11:16if the commissioner lost money, does that make him a suspect?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I imagine it does.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Who wants to be the first to interview him?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24No?
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Right, well, let's cross him off for now, shall we?
0:11:27 > 0:11:31So we've got a man murdered in broad daylight while handcuffed to a police officer,
0:11:31 > 0:11:35just over a thousand suspects, and it's a hundred degrees.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37Marvellous.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50That's odd.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56It says here Leon Hamilton was a keen sailor, had his own yacht.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Is that important?
0:11:59 > 0:12:03It was a bit rough as we left the harbour, and he complained of feeling sick.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07Why would he feel seasick if he was an experienced sailor?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Did he actually say he was seasick?
0:12:11 > 0:12:12No.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- Then it could have been something else.- I suppose so.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Fidel, tell them I want a toxicology report on the victim,
0:12:18 > 0:12:20- just to be on the safe side. - Yes, sir.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23I have a woman here who said she spoke to the officer on the ferry.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26They talked about the book he was reading?
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Yep, that was before we went outside.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Said she loved a good murder.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34Suzie Park?
0:12:34 > 0:12:38On her way to visit grandparents in Saint-Marie.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Check to see if her grandparents are on the investors list.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45In fact, we should check everyone on the passengers list
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- against the investors list. - PHONE RINGS
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- OK, I know this guy.- Who?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Samuel King.- Yes? - He's bad news.- Violent?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- Very.- Put him on the A pile.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57Thank you.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Leon Hamilton's wife is flying in from Guadeloupe tomorrow morning
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- to formally identify the body. - OK, go and meet her.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06See if you can get her story while you're at it.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- OK.- It's late.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10We should call it a day.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31How was your day?
0:13:32 > 0:13:34That bad, eh?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Although I'm assuming no-one actually died.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Which means I almost certainly have you beat.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49CARD PLAYS "HAPPY BIRTHDAY"
0:13:54 > 0:13:57KNOCKING
0:13:57 > 0:13:58Shush!
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Morning, sir.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- Thank you.- Mm-hmm. - Have a good day.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25- OK, thank you, sir, we have your details.- Thank you.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- That's the third one this week.- What?
0:14:29 > 0:14:32An old beggar woman. She stops tourists by asking them for money.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36When they take out their wallet or purse, she snatches it and runs.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40- Morning, team.- Morning, sir.- Chief. - Where were you last night?
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Ah. Yes, sorry, I went straight home.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Thought I'd finish these.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46- And?- Hopeless.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49The ferry was bound for Saint-Marie, so virtually everyone on it
0:14:49 > 0:14:53knew someone who'd lost money on the Paradise Beach complex.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56The autopsy and toxicology reports are done, but their e-mail is down.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- They'll phone them through. - OK. Dwayne and Fidel,
0:14:59 > 0:15:01start rounding up everyone on our A list.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Let's eliminate who we can.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04Yes, Chief.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Let's find out if there were any bigger investors in Paradise Beach,
0:15:08 > 0:15:11anyone who lost enough money to want to kill Leon Hamilton.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14We've got details of the bank. I'll call them on my way to the airport.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18- Airport?- Mrs Hamilton is coming to identify her husband's body.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- Remember?- Ah, yes. Sorry.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21PHONE RINGS
0:15:21 > 0:15:23That should be the autopsy.
0:15:23 > 0:15:24Great.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Put it on speaker phone. DI Richard Poole.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32'# Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!
0:15:32 > 0:15:36- '# Happy Birthday... #' - Mum, Dad. Erm, yep, thank you.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Yes, the birthday card came yesterday
0:15:40 > 0:15:43and the parcel came this morning. Thank you.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46No, always good to send separately, just in case.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Yep. Yep. Listen, Mum, I'm actually at work
0:15:50 > 0:15:54and, erm, I'm about to go into a meeting, so could we do this later?
0:15:56 > 0:15:57Yep. Thanks again.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01You too, yep. Bye.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02Goodbye.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04It's your birthday, sir?
0:16:06 > 0:16:07- Yes.- Today?- Yes.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11- Happy birthday.- Happy birthday, sir. - Thank you.- So, how old are you?
0:16:11 > 0:16:13None of your business how old I am.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Would everybody please get on with their tasks?
0:16:19 > 0:16:23THEY WHISTLE "HAPPY BIRTHDAY"
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Morning.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05Thank you.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07That can't have been easy.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12He looked so...
0:17:12 > 0:17:14still.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18I'm sorry.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19- That's a stupid thing to say.- No.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21What did I expect?
0:17:21 > 0:17:24He was hardly going to be tap dancing, was he?
0:17:26 > 0:17:27It's just that...
0:17:29 > 0:17:32..I've never seen a dead body before.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Have you any family here?
0:17:35 > 0:17:36Someone who can be with you?
0:17:36 > 0:17:38It's just us.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Me. No.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45You must have loved him very much.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48Yes.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57If you're ready, I can take you to your hotel?
0:17:59 > 0:18:00I'm ready. Thank you.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03This is terribly exciting.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04I just need enough information
0:18:04 > 0:18:07to eliminate you from our enquiries, Mrs, um...
0:18:07 > 0:18:08Miss. Park.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- Miss Park. - I love being interviewed.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Though you realise the chances it's a member of the public are remote?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17I'm sorry?
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Any self-respecting murder aficionado would know
0:18:20 > 0:18:23about the Texas Institute of Criminal Profiling research
0:18:23 > 0:18:25- into murder in a public place. - Well...
0:18:25 > 0:18:27In 109 cases studied over 11 years,
0:18:27 > 0:18:32in only 3% of single murders committed in a public place
0:18:32 > 0:18:34was the killer found to have known the victim
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- or indeed had any prior contact. - I see...
0:18:37 > 0:18:4067% were carried out by paid assassins or hit men of some kind.
0:18:40 > 0:18:4222% were the result of a dispute
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- that originated within an hour of the murder.- Can I just...
0:18:45 > 0:18:49So a murder on a crowded ferry is almost certainly the work of someone paid...
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Miss Park!
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Much as I appreciate your enthusiasm,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57can I just ask a few simple questions
0:18:57 > 0:18:59to establish your whereabouts?
0:18:59 > 0:19:00Yes.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Sorry. I got a bit excited.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05No, not at all. When I took the prisoner up to the seating area,
0:19:05 > 0:19:07you came out a few moments later.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Yes.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11You knew I was with the prisoner?
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Yes, I saw you. He was bent over. It looked like he was being sick.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18And during your time outside, did you see anyone
0:19:18 > 0:19:22with a knife, or acting particularly suspiciously?
0:19:22 > 0:19:23No.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27The boat was a bit rocky. I was just holding on, to be honest.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Erm...your grandparents,
0:19:30 > 0:19:35- they invested in the Paradise Beach complex a few years ago.- Yes?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37You weren't aware the prisoner was Leon Hamilton,
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- the man convicted of fraud when it went bust?- No, I wasn't.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42You didn't know?
0:19:42 > 0:19:45No. But if I had, I'd have happily murdered him.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48He took everything my grandparents had, every last penny.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49I'm sorry.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53That makes me a suspect, doesn't it?
0:19:53 > 0:19:54Fidel!
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Of course I'll make myself completely available,
0:19:57 > 0:19:58should you need me again.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Would you like my passport?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04No, it's OK. Thank you for your help, Miss Park. Have a good day.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08She seemed very chirpy.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Mad as a bag of frogs.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Is that the autopsy report?
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Yes, sir. Came while you were with Miss Park.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- Single wound, through the heart, just like you said.- Hmm.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- Anything else? - No other injuries, no.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- Toxicology?- All clear.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Forensics on the murder weapon is with the report. No fingerprints.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28We're checking the make of the knife and outlets that sell it,
0:20:28 > 0:20:31but it's a pretty common blade.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33- Thanks, Fidel.- Sir.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- Sir?- Mm-hmm?
0:20:36 > 0:20:39I hoped I could spend some time in the market today, round lunchtime.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41See if I can find our beggar thief.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Beggar thief?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Yes, sir.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47A woman posing as a beggar, stealing from tourists.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49I hate this kind of crime, sir.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51It reflects badly on the island.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Two of the last thefts were at lunchtime, so...
0:20:53 > 0:20:57- Modus operandi.- Yes, sir. - Then of course you must go.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Vincent.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- How's it going?- It isn't.- Ah.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Turns out he was the most unpopular man on the island,
0:21:14 > 0:21:17so I'm knee-deep in suspects.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19But that's a good thing, isn't it?
0:21:19 > 0:21:21No. Two or three's good,
0:21:21 > 0:21:25then you can whittle away by process of gradual elimination.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28907 just muddies the waters.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Whoa, whoa. What's that?
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- I heard it was someone's birthday. - I'm a year older.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37It hardly warrants a firework display. Take it away.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39- I thought you'd like it. - Well, I don't.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43I came to clear my head and for a cup of tea, so just tea, please,
0:21:43 > 0:21:45without any form of incendiary attached.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49I think you might have upset her.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53She's French, it's an occupational hazard.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Sorry we're making slow progress.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- You must be keen to get home. - A little.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01I'll speak to the commissioner. No point you being stuck here.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Thank you.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- How well did you know Leon Hamilton? - Not that well.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09I'd see him in the association room sometimes.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11But I work in admissions, so...
0:22:11 > 0:22:15There are over 300 prisoners in the jail.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19Men like Leon Hamilton tend to keep their heads down.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22That's the thing, you see, he didn't strike me as a con man.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23There was no brashness.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Oh?
0:22:25 > 0:22:27In fact, I'd say there was a...
0:22:27 > 0:22:29sadness about him.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Well, he was going from one prison to another.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34True.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Dwayne said you were here.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Vincent, you remember Detective Sergeant Bordey.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Hello, Vincent. You found us, then?
0:22:42 > 0:22:44I suggested he came here for his meals.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Catherine has been very thoughtful.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Yes. He has that effect on my mother.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- Do you have family, Vincent? - I'm divorced.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Oh, that's a shame.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01For my bank balance, yes.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
0:23:08 > 0:23:09Au revoir, Catherine.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Au revoir, Vincent.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Got a spoon?
0:23:16 > 0:23:20So, Mrs Hamilton formally identified her husband.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24She told me she has little to do with his business,
0:23:24 > 0:23:26and she was as shocked as everyone else
0:23:26 > 0:23:28when he was found guilty of fraud.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30How long's she staying on Saint-Marie?
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Just long enough to make the funeral arrangements.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Hmm.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Is she, erm...
0:23:37 > 0:23:39not having the body shipped home?
0:23:39 > 0:23:41No, she said he used to sail around the islands
0:23:41 > 0:23:43and he loved Saint-Marie,
0:23:43 > 0:23:45so she wants him cremated here.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52SHE DIALS
0:23:56 > 0:23:57I'm here.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Leon Hamilton told me he'd never been to Saint-Marie before,
0:24:05 > 0:24:07yet now his wife says he often sailed here
0:24:07 > 0:24:09and it was his favourite place.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13Haven't you ever heard of a husband and wife who don't communicate?
0:24:13 > 0:24:17Yet add the fact that supposedly he was an experienced sailor
0:24:17 > 0:24:20who felt seasick on a ferry,
0:24:20 > 0:24:22and something just doesn't add up.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Like what?
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Maybe he lied to his wife about where he'd been,
0:24:30 > 0:24:31to cover up an affair.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Maybe she lied about him loving Saint-Marie,
0:24:34 > 0:24:35because their marriage was a sham
0:24:35 > 0:24:38and she didn't care enough to have him shipped home.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40No, she loved him. I'm sure of it.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41How?
0:24:41 > 0:24:42I talked to her.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46And you can tell whether people are in love
0:24:46 > 0:24:47just by talking to them, can you?
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Yes.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51By what they say,
0:24:51 > 0:24:53their eyes, the tone of their voice...
0:24:53 > 0:24:56I find that very hard to believe.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Have you ever been in love?
0:25:04 > 0:25:07This has to be connected to Hamilton's business dealings.
0:25:07 > 0:25:08Have we spoken to the bank?
0:25:08 > 0:25:10No. They haven't got back to me.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11Then let's start there.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31WOMAN SCREAMS
0:25:52 > 0:25:53What about Samuel King's statement?
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Anything of interest?
0:25:56 > 0:26:00He's been around long enough not to give too much away.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02I asked him why he was on the ferry.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04He said he was sightseeing.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06He denies knowing the victim.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08But you don't believe him?
0:26:08 > 0:26:12The thing is, I saw him at the bar paying for his coffee.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15He had a wad of notes big enough to choke a donkey.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19- Did you ask him about it? - He said he sold an old car.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- But?- He couldn't remember what kind of car it was,
0:26:22 > 0:26:26whose name it was registered in, or who he sold it to.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27I could bring him in.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29A criminal with a wad of cash isn't going to be honest
0:26:29 > 0:26:31about how he got it, is he?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33That doesn't make him a murderer.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Oh, I'm supposed to be at the bank.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40I don't believe it! I was so close!
0:26:40 > 0:26:42The beggar thief struck in the market again.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- She got a purse. - You got outrun by a little old lady?
0:26:45 > 0:26:47She disappeared down an alley, so...
0:26:47 > 0:26:49The shame of it.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- Maybe next time, you try and catch her.- OK, see you later.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Wait, wait. What are we doing for the Chief's birthday?
0:26:55 > 0:26:57I don't think he's keen on surprises.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59We have to do something!
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- You could run down and get a cake. - You think?
0:27:02 > 0:27:05No, on second thoughts, wait till we catch your little old lady.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07We'll send her. She'll be quicker.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13I'm sorry to interrupt your break.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16You don't want bank coffee, believe me. Please.
0:27:16 > 0:27:17- Thank you.- Bonjour.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21- Cappuccino, please.- Two.
0:27:21 > 0:27:22Water for me. Thank you.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26When Leon Hamilton put his company into liquidation
0:27:26 > 0:27:28and his creditors were notified,
0:27:28 > 0:27:30it was soon clear none of his suppliers had been paid,
0:27:30 > 0:27:33even though the company accounts showed they had.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35- False accounting?- Yes.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- That's when we called the police. - How much money?
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Close to 2 million is still unaccounted for.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46Our investigators tried to track it down but it was transferred overseas.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49They got as far as Miami, and then lost it.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53- We think it's in Europe somewhere. - So Paradise Beach was a scam?
0:27:53 > 0:27:57Essentially, yes. He raised almost a million from private investors
0:27:57 > 0:28:01- and took a loan from us for the rest. - And the loan was unsecured?
0:28:01 > 0:28:03It was secured against the land,
0:28:03 > 0:28:07but it now seems that the land was virtually worthless.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11Anything he built there would have fallen into the sea within a year.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13He'd falsified surveyors' reports.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Were there any larger investors? Anyone who took a real hit?
0:28:17 > 0:28:20The largest single investor after the bank
0:28:20 > 0:28:23was a local businessman, Gordon Foster.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25He attended Leon Hamilton's trial.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29Got thrown out for shouting abuse at the defendant.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31So he's a man with a grudge.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34He lost 300,000. Wouldn't you be?
0:28:36 > 0:28:41I've brought statements from all the relevant accounts.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47- That's Gordon's.- Uh-huh.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Mr Foster?
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Detective Inspector Richard Poole.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56- This is Detective Sergeant Bordey. May we join you?- Be my guest.
0:28:58 > 0:28:59How can I help?
0:28:59 > 0:29:02We'd like to talk to you about Leon Hamilton.
0:29:02 > 0:29:03There's not much to say.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06He was a con man and deserved all he got.
0:29:06 > 0:29:07You're saying he deserved to die?
0:29:08 > 0:29:10I meant prison.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14Though there was a time when I'd have gladly strangled him with my bare hands.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18That's a figure of speech.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23- How well did you know him? - Hardly at all.
0:29:23 > 0:29:28He was a bit of a recluse. I had one meeting to listen to his pitch
0:29:28 > 0:29:31telling me how much money I was going to make,
0:29:31 > 0:29:32and another to sign a contract.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35- In Saint-Marie? - No. I had to fly to Guadeloupe.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39He talked about opening an office here, but it never happened.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Now I know why.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43And the next time you saw him was in court?
0:29:43 > 0:29:46- Yes.- Where you threatened him?
0:29:46 > 0:29:48Too right.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52I invested because I run a cleaning firm.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Hamilton promised me the contracts to Paradise Beach if I did.
0:29:55 > 0:29:5840 people lost their jobs when he went bust
0:29:58 > 0:30:02and the bugger very nearly took me down with him.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Luckily, his wife appears to have stood by him.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09- What?- HIS marriage didn't break up, did it?
0:30:09 > 0:30:10How the hell did you know...
0:30:10 > 0:30:12You have a tan line.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18The divorce came through last week.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22Me losing all the money and the stress of it all, it...
0:30:22 > 0:30:24it was the last straw.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27- Can I ask where you were yesterday? - In my office.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29- All day?- From 8:30am until 7pm.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31- Witnesses?- How many would you like?
0:30:31 > 0:30:32One would suffice.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:30:37 > 0:30:40This is the number of Alice, my PA.
0:30:44 > 0:30:45She was with me all day.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Thank you.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Well, he lost a fortune.
0:30:54 > 0:30:59His business was clearly threatened, and he lost his wife and son.
0:30:59 > 0:31:00Motive enough for me.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Thank you for agreeing to see us.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07Well, I'm not sure what help I can be.
0:31:07 > 0:31:12- Your husband sailed a yacht around Saint-Marie, I understand?- Yes.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14A lot?
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Er, I don't know. Yes.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21- Apparently enough for you to want to cremate him here.- Yes. Yes.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24I mean... Sorry, how is this important?
0:31:24 > 0:31:28I won't know that until I have your answer. So, how many times
0:31:28 > 0:31:31- did he come sailing here? Once? Twice?- I said I didn't recall.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35I see.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39I understand you weren't involved in the Paradise Beach complex.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Not really. I mean, of course I knew about it,
0:31:42 > 0:31:45because Leon would talk about it. But details?
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Business isn't my strong point.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50So you wouldn't have any idea where he'd stash 2 million?
0:31:52 > 0:31:53Excuse me?
0:31:53 > 0:31:57The amount the bank believe he'd stolen from the company account.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02I would know if we had that sort of money,
0:32:02 > 0:32:04and I can you assure you we most certainly did not.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Or perhaps he simply didn't tell you about it.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11I'm sorry, I think that's enough.
0:32:11 > 0:32:12Oh?
0:32:15 > 0:32:18My husband died only yesterday.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21In your care, as I understand it.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24So I have no intention of sitting here listening to you sully his memory.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29Despite what you may have heard, my husband was not a con man.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32He may have cut the odd corner. What businessman doesn't?
0:32:32 > 0:32:35But he wanted Paradise Beach to work as much as everybody.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37He was just unlucky. Nothing more.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39And whatever his shortcomings,
0:32:39 > 0:32:43he certainly didn't deserve to die for them.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48- See?- See what? - I told you she loved him.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Hm. She could just be a very convincing liar.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53But she talked with such passion.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56Mm, but passion for her dead husband
0:32:56 > 0:33:00or passion not to get caught for being involved in his murder?
0:33:08 > 0:33:11- Oh, chief? The commissioner called in.- Oh?
0:33:11 > 0:33:15He wanted to know if we'd made any progress in the Leon Hamilton case.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Thank you.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19PHONE RINGS
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Honore Police Station.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26- Uh-huh. - Means, motive and opportunity
0:33:26 > 0:33:29are usually difficult to establish,
0:33:29 > 0:33:32but here we have them in abundance.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35The means - a common blade,
0:33:35 > 0:33:38easy enough for anyone to pick up.
0:33:38 > 0:33:43Opportunity - despite the fact that he was a prisoner being transferred,
0:33:43 > 0:33:46the boat was crowded, people bumping into one another,
0:33:46 > 0:33:49simple enough for the killer to find time for a single blow.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51As for motive...
0:33:54 > 0:33:57..half the island appears to have one.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59OK. I'll send an officer round.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03Fidel, you'd better get down to the old market, Cove Lane.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07- The beggar thief just stole another purse.- No!
0:34:10 > 0:34:13But the people on the ferry, if they had recognised him,
0:34:13 > 0:34:16they may have attacked him, thrown him overboard, even,
0:34:16 > 0:34:18but not this.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21You're right. It had to be premeditated.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Whoever killed Leon Hamilton
0:34:23 > 0:34:26knew he was going to be on that ferry.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31It was a confined space, nowhere to hide.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34If you couldn't afford to be seen, what would you do?
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Pay someone to do it for me?
0:34:40 > 0:34:44- Dwayne?- Chief? - The man you interviewed earlier,
0:34:44 > 0:34:47- Samuel King - is he capable of this? - At the right price? Hell, yes.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Then as we appear to have hit a dead end,
0:34:49 > 0:34:53maybe it's time I spoke to him after all.
0:34:53 > 0:34:54Where can I find him?
0:34:58 > 0:34:59Mr King?
0:34:59 > 0:35:02I'm Detective Inspector Richard Poole.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05As you know, this is Police Officer Dwayne Myers.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07We'd, erm, like to ask you a few questions.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09I've already spoken to your boy.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12Well, now we have some different questions.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Watch him!
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Wait!
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Coming through!
0:35:52 > 0:35:54GLASS SMASHES
0:35:54 > 0:35:56MAN CRIES OUT
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Mr Foster!
0:36:06 > 0:36:10It was a few weeks back, just after my wife left.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12I was drunk out of my skull.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14I met Samuel King in a bar
0:36:14 > 0:36:17and he was boasting about being a part of the underworld,
0:36:17 > 0:36:21a..."fixer", if you like.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24And apparently, I asked him how much it would cost to...
0:36:24 > 0:36:27"fix" Leon Hamilton.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30He said fifty grand.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36God, I was drunk. It wasn't a serious proposition!
0:36:37 > 0:36:41Then why were you sitting with him and why did you run when you saw us?
0:36:41 > 0:36:45Yesterday, he came to the house. He said that he had done it
0:36:45 > 0:36:48and he demanded payment.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51My God, I had no idea he was bloody going to go through with it!
0:36:51 > 0:36:53So you paid him?
0:36:53 > 0:36:55I wish.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58I don't have that kind of money any more.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00I just gave him a few hundred to make him go away.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03HE SIGHS
0:37:03 > 0:37:06And then he came back for more?
0:37:07 > 0:37:11He said that if I didn't come here today with more money...
0:37:11 > 0:37:13he would go to the police.
0:37:17 > 0:37:22So, what would happen if I just got up and walked out?
0:37:22 > 0:37:25We both know that isn't going to happen.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28I could always leave a little something behind.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30You could say you were distracted.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33You know, I really hope you're not suggesting what I think you are.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Me?
0:37:35 > 0:37:38No! Just asking a question.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44- Did you lose him?- No, I got him, but he's in the hospital.
0:37:47 > 0:37:51No, I didn't, erm... I mean, it was his foot. Er...
0:37:51 > 0:37:56Samuel King, I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Leon Hamilton.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07Gordon Foster said that you've been demanding money
0:38:07 > 0:38:11- for carrying out the murder of Leon Hamilton.- Is that right?
0:38:14 > 0:38:15Yes. It is.
0:38:19 > 0:38:20Hello?
0:38:20 > 0:38:23And I'm sure you have plenty of contacts
0:38:23 > 0:38:26who can inform you of a prisoner being transferred to another prison.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29HE WHISTLES You think?!
0:38:33 > 0:38:36You don't deny being on the ferry?
0:38:36 > 0:38:39It seems to me that you are the one who's asking all of the questions.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42I'm just admiring the view.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44I'm not.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47Did you carry out the murder of Leon Hamilton,
0:38:47 > 0:38:49- as you suggested to Mr Foster? - No, I did not.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54And yet you demanded money for doing so, which is blackmail.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58Either way, you're going to prison. The only question is for how long.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01HE LAUGHS He won't testify against me.
0:39:01 > 0:39:02He's got no balls.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05What happened on that ferry?
0:39:07 > 0:39:08I don't remember.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11Very well, perhaps a night in a cell
0:39:11 > 0:39:14will improve your memory and your manners.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18OK, I don't need a night in here. Come on, I've not done anything.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21- Dwayne?- Whoa, whoa, whoa. All right, look, no messing.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Everything that guy said was true.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25- OK, sit down. - SHE CLICKS HER FINGERS
0:39:29 > 0:39:33He came into the bar wasted, started talking about this Leon Hamilton,
0:39:33 > 0:39:36some big shot from Guadeloupe who'd ruined his life,
0:39:36 > 0:39:39- and what he'd do to him. - So you offered to murder him?
0:39:39 > 0:39:41I was only messing! It was no big deal.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44I thought I might scam an upfront payment off him.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46And then what happened?
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Well, nothing. I'd forgotten all about it
0:39:49 > 0:39:51until I'd heard that Leon Hamilton had been murdered
0:39:51 > 0:39:55on the very same ferry that I'd been on. It was too good to miss!
0:39:57 > 0:40:01- So you went to Gordon Foster and told him it was you in the hope of getting paid.- Yeah.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06It was working, too, until you turned up.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Yeah, I think I know the guy you're talking about.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14- Gold chains. Mean-looking guy. - That's him.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Yeah. Yeah, he would get my vote.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26Did Leon Hamilton talk about Saint-Marie when he was in prison?
0:40:26 > 0:40:28I'm not sure. Why?
0:40:28 > 0:40:31I was wondering how often he'd been here.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Is it important?
0:40:33 > 0:40:37I think so. I'm just, you know, not really sure why.
0:40:39 > 0:40:40Sex and money.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44All murders are about sex or money.
0:40:44 > 0:40:49Erm, sorry, I don't want to appear rude,
0:40:49 > 0:40:51but, er, do you mind?
0:40:51 > 0:40:54So no new developments, then? Nothing I should know about?
0:40:54 > 0:40:56No.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59I could help.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01I know the five BRMs off by heart.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03- The what?- BRMs!
0:41:03 > 0:41:04Basic rules of murder.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08If it's not sex, it's money. If it's not money, it's sex.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10A wife is most likely to kill a husband.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12A husband is most likely to kill a wife.
0:41:12 > 0:41:17And the last person you should discount should be the one you least suspect.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19I've never heard such claptrap in 23 years of policing.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22It's in the November issue of Murder Monthly.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26I don't care. Would you excuse us? We were having a private conversation.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29Very well.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31But remember, if you use your BRMs,
0:41:31 > 0:41:33you'll never go far wrong.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38VINCENT CHUCKLES
0:41:42 > 0:41:48ALL: # Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you
0:41:48 > 0:41:53# Happy birthday, dear Richard Happy bir... #
0:42:05 > 0:42:08I know you're under pressure.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11We all are. But would it really be so hard to just once
0:42:11 > 0:42:13be nice?
0:42:13 > 0:42:14I'm sorry.
0:42:16 > 0:42:17Oh!
0:42:17 > 0:42:18It was very rude.
0:42:20 > 0:42:21Yes, it was.
0:42:22 > 0:42:23Is that it?
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Good. Now, the bank statements
0:42:27 > 0:42:31show money being drawn out of the company account over a period of time
0:42:31 > 0:42:33AND from their private account.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35You left people singing Happy Birthday
0:42:35 > 0:42:37just to look at bank statements?
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Yes, and I've already apologised. Can we move on?
0:42:39 > 0:42:41You are impossible!
0:42:41 > 0:42:44Mrs Hamilton withdrew 50,000
0:42:44 > 0:42:47from their joint account three weeks ago.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Wait, wait, wait.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Fifty thousand?
0:42:52 > 0:42:55Isn't that what Samuel King asked Gordon Foster to pay?
0:42:55 > 0:42:58The exact amount. Bit of a coincidence, don't you think?
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Yeah.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Sex and money.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Excuse me?
0:43:06 > 0:43:09The madwoman was right. Great motives for murder.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11I think we'll go and see Ann
0:43:11 > 0:43:13first thing in the morning.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16So, are you coming back to the party?
0:43:16 > 0:43:17I won't, if you don't mind.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20Erm, early night.
0:43:20 > 0:43:21A lot to do tomorrow.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24I brought you a slice of cake.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27Happy birthday.
0:44:16 > 0:44:19SULTRY MUSIC PLAYS
0:44:19 > 0:44:21KNOCK AT DOOR
0:44:35 > 0:44:37I thought you'd forgotten all about me.
0:44:41 > 0:44:43Morning, sir.
0:44:43 > 0:44:44Morning, team.
0:44:44 > 0:44:47- Great party, chief.- Looks like it.
0:44:47 > 0:44:49I was just going to call you, sir.
0:44:49 > 0:44:52Leon Hamilton is being cremated at 11:30 this morning.
0:44:52 > 0:44:53We ran an airline check.
0:44:53 > 0:44:57Ann Hamilton has booked the next flight off the island, the 14:05 to Miami.
0:44:57 > 0:44:59It's her, isn't it? Where's Camille?
0:44:59 > 0:45:01On her way to Ann Hamilton's hotel.
0:45:01 > 0:45:03OK, I'll see her there.
0:45:05 > 0:45:07- You ready?- What?
0:45:07 > 0:45:10The beggar thief. You promised to help me, remember?
0:45:15 > 0:45:18That woman I left the party with last night...
0:45:18 > 0:45:20- There were two of them.- Oh?
0:45:20 > 0:45:22So I wasn't seeing double!
0:45:23 > 0:45:25That's her! The beggar thief.
0:45:25 > 0:45:27Stop! Stop!
0:45:48 > 0:45:49Philip?!
0:45:49 > 0:45:52Wait till I tell your mother.
0:46:07 > 0:46:08Police, police! Let me through!
0:46:08 > 0:46:10Excuse me.
0:46:26 > 0:46:29- You don't believe she fell?- No.
0:46:29 > 0:46:33No more than I believe it was grief-induced suicide.
0:46:33 > 0:46:36But who would kill her?
0:46:36 > 0:46:38I think we were on the right trail, you know?
0:46:38 > 0:46:42I think somehow she was involved in her husband's death.
0:46:42 > 0:46:45She must have had an accomplice.
0:46:46 > 0:46:48Samuel King is in a cell.
0:46:48 > 0:46:50Gordon Foster?
0:46:50 > 0:46:52I think if we find out who killed Mrs Hamilton,
0:46:52 > 0:46:55we'll also find out who killed her husband.
0:46:55 > 0:46:58Unlike Leon Hamilton, who had queues of people wanting him dead,
0:46:58 > 0:47:03we just need to work out who profited from Mrs Hamilton's death.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08Let's get you locked up.
0:47:10 > 0:47:12- Fidel?- Yes, sir? - Why is he dressed as a woman?
0:47:12 > 0:47:16- He's the beggar thief, sir. - But that was a woman.
0:47:16 > 0:47:18No, sir, it was Philip. In a dress.
0:47:20 > 0:47:21Oh.
0:47:21 > 0:47:23Anything else, sir?
0:47:23 > 0:47:25No, no. Er, thank you, Fidel.
0:47:26 > 0:47:29Thank you. OK, they've cordoned off the room.
0:47:29 > 0:47:31Shall I send Dwayne and Fidel over?
0:47:31 > 0:47:33No!
0:47:33 > 0:47:35- No what?- That's...- That's what?
0:47:35 > 0:47:38- If...- If what?
0:47:38 > 0:47:41- Where's Vincent?- He was having breakfast at Catherine's bar.
0:47:41 > 0:47:45- Fidel?- Yes, sir?- Get Gordon Foster. Keep him here till I call you.
0:47:45 > 0:47:49- Understand?- Yes, sir.- Repeat it. - Get Gordon Foster, keep him here.
0:47:49 > 0:47:51- Excellent. Go on.- What's going on?
0:47:51 > 0:47:54I don't know. I mean, I think I know.
0:47:54 > 0:47:56- Oh. You think? - Well, it's how it works, usually.
0:47:56 > 0:47:59I mean, at least, it's the start of how it works.
0:47:59 > 0:48:03You raise a notion, a thought, a possibility.
0:48:03 > 0:48:06Then you bombard it with fact,
0:48:06 > 0:48:08with things already established, to test it.
0:48:08 > 0:48:12And if that notion, however absurd, however outlandish,
0:48:12 > 0:48:15well, if it stands up to that kind of scrutiny,
0:48:15 > 0:48:17if it still fits,
0:48:17 > 0:48:21if it can't be disproved by what we already know...
0:48:21 > 0:48:26well, I mean, mostly - not always, but, yeah, mostly -
0:48:26 > 0:48:28it's the truth.
0:48:30 > 0:48:31Ha!
0:48:34 > 0:48:36Bring Samuel King. Come on!
0:48:39 > 0:48:42Richard! I was hoping to see you before I went.
0:48:42 > 0:48:44- Then I'm glad not to disappoint. - Have a drink.
0:48:44 > 0:48:47Er, no, thank you, still on duty.
0:48:47 > 0:48:50- So, how was your birthday? - Good, thank you.
0:48:50 > 0:48:55- You missed your own party.- Yes, so I understand. Still, always next year.
0:48:56 > 0:48:57Hopefully.
0:48:57 > 0:48:59Shall we?
0:48:59 > 0:49:02- What's going on?- Well, I hoped we might just run through the case.
0:49:02 > 0:49:06- You don't mind, do you? - Why should I?- Why indeed?
0:49:08 > 0:49:12You see, this case should have been the easiest I've dealt with.
0:49:12 > 0:49:15I was handcuffed to the victim when he was murdered, after all.
0:49:15 > 0:49:17But in reality, it turned out to be
0:49:17 > 0:49:19one of the most confusing.
0:49:19 > 0:49:22The murder itself wasn't particularly baffling.
0:49:22 > 0:49:24Audacious? Yes.
0:49:24 > 0:49:27Daring? Absolutely.
0:49:27 > 0:49:31But then, erm... Well, it just takes a second
0:49:31 > 0:49:33to plunge a blade into a man's heart.
0:49:33 > 0:49:36No, this case has never been about the how.
0:49:36 > 0:49:39It's always been quite literally about the who.
0:49:39 > 0:49:42Samuel King looked like a good bet to begin with.
0:49:42 > 0:49:44Isn't that right, Camille?
0:49:44 > 0:49:46Muscle for hire, a man who claims to be willing
0:49:46 > 0:49:49to take another man's life if the price is right.
0:49:49 > 0:49:53You were on that ferry, you could have plunged a knife into the victim.
0:49:53 > 0:49:55You can't prove nothing.
0:49:56 > 0:50:00Quite so. Luckily, we don't have to, erm,
0:50:00 > 0:50:02"prove nothing",
0:50:02 > 0:50:04because you didn't kill Leon Hamilton.
0:50:04 > 0:50:07You're an opportunist.
0:50:07 > 0:50:10I doubt you had the brains or the audacity for this crime.
0:50:10 > 0:50:14You simply saw an opportunity for a pay day
0:50:14 > 0:50:16from disgruntled investor Gordon Foster
0:50:16 > 0:50:19when he stumbled into your bar by chance.
0:50:19 > 0:50:22Er, look, I really have to go soon.
0:50:22 > 0:50:26Not much longer. It will be worth the wait, I promise.
0:50:26 > 0:50:29You see, the key to this case
0:50:29 > 0:50:32was to be found not in the murder of Leon Hamilton
0:50:32 > 0:50:35but in the killing of his wife, Ann.
0:50:35 > 0:50:37Fidel, can you come over now?
0:50:37 > 0:50:40- Yes, please.- Not only do I believe
0:50:40 > 0:50:42that Ann Hamilton was involved in the first murder,
0:50:42 > 0:50:45I also think she had an accomplice,
0:50:45 > 0:50:47an accomplice who did the dirty work,
0:50:47 > 0:50:51who, er, actually carried out the murder for reward.
0:50:53 > 0:50:57And what reward! Not only Mrs Hamilton herself, of course,
0:50:57 > 0:51:02but also the 2 million she'd helped her husband hide from the banks and their creditors.
0:51:04 > 0:51:07But a murderer's accomplice is a very dangerous individual,
0:51:07 > 0:51:11particularly when there's money at the heart of things.
0:51:11 > 0:51:12I mean...
0:51:12 > 0:51:16once you've crossed that threshold, why not have it all to yourself?
0:51:16 > 0:51:18And that's what you did, wasn't it?
0:51:18 > 0:51:20What?
0:51:20 > 0:51:23It was you who plunged a blade into that poor man's heart.
0:51:23 > 0:51:25HE LAUGHS INCREDULOUSLY
0:51:25 > 0:51:27'The time to strike
0:51:27 > 0:51:31'was when the ferry hit rough water as it rounded the point,
0:51:31 > 0:51:35'a single strike when you knew everyone would be distracted by having to hold on'
0:51:35 > 0:51:39- as the boat rolled.- I think you have a very vivid imagination.
0:51:39 > 0:51:41Yes, I have.
0:51:41 > 0:51:45Without it, I very much doubt we'd be having this conversation.
0:51:47 > 0:51:51There's an old cliche about murder someone reminded me of recently,
0:51:51 > 0:51:54that in the vast majority of murders
0:51:54 > 0:51:57the motive's either sex or money. In this case, it was both.
0:51:59 > 0:52:02And there's another cliche.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04That if the wife is murdered,
0:52:04 > 0:52:07it'll usually be the husband who is responsible.
0:52:08 > 0:52:10- Except this time it can't be. - On the contrary, Dwayne...
0:52:13 > 0:52:16- ..that's exactly what happened. - What's going on?
0:52:24 > 0:52:26It can't be!
0:52:26 > 0:52:28But you're dead!
0:52:28 > 0:52:30Because this isn't Vincent the prison guard,
0:52:30 > 0:52:32this is Leon Hamilton.
0:52:34 > 0:52:37Mr Foster, as the only man in this room
0:52:37 > 0:52:39who's actually met him,
0:52:39 > 0:52:41are you sure this is Leon Hamilton?
0:52:41 > 0:52:43Absolutely.
0:52:58 > 0:53:00While in prison, the real Leon Hamilton
0:53:00 > 0:53:03met down-at-heel prison guard Vincent Carter -
0:53:03 > 0:53:08recently divorced, broke, not much of a future to look forward to.
0:53:08 > 0:53:09What was the deal?
0:53:09 > 0:53:1250,000 for six months, to swap places
0:53:12 > 0:53:16and serve out the remainder of your sentence here on Saint-Marie.
0:53:16 > 0:53:20The 50,000 taken out by your wife two weeks ago.
0:53:20 > 0:53:23It was easy enough for the real Vincent to fake your prison records.
0:53:23 > 0:53:26He worked in admissions, didn't he?
0:53:26 > 0:53:30So after you left the prison and before you reached the ferry,
0:53:30 > 0:53:34you swapped clothes with the real Vincent Carter.
0:53:34 > 0:53:37You knew you were going to kill him, didn't you?
0:53:37 > 0:53:40The master stroke was your wife coming from Guadeloupe
0:53:40 > 0:53:42- to identify the body.- I'm here.
0:53:45 > 0:53:48I thought you'd forgotten all about me.
0:53:48 > 0:53:51In fact, I think you arranged to meet her last night.
0:53:51 > 0:53:56I think you planned how to spend your ill-gotten gains.
0:53:56 > 0:53:58And then she gave you what you needed, didn't she?
0:53:58 > 0:54:01Her signature. And with it the money.
0:54:01 > 0:54:03No need to waste the night.
0:54:06 > 0:54:10In the morning, you threw her to her death.
0:54:11 > 0:54:16She also knew that as a keen sailor, you often sailed around Saint-Marie,
0:54:16 > 0:54:19whereas the real Vincent said he'd never been here before.
0:54:19 > 0:54:21And because you were a keen sailor,
0:54:21 > 0:54:23you knew how rough the sea got round the point.
0:54:23 > 0:54:26And because the real Vincent wasn't, he felt seasick straightaway.
0:54:26 > 0:54:29But although Vincent Carter traded places with you,
0:54:29 > 0:54:32he was just a smaller part of the bigger game you were playing.
0:54:32 > 0:54:35This was about 2 million and gaining your freedom,
0:54:35 > 0:54:38not just from prison but also from your wife.
0:54:38 > 0:54:42As soon as she identified the wrong body, she was no longer needed.
0:54:42 > 0:54:45She thought the two of you were in this together.
0:54:45 > 0:54:48She was looking forward to your reunion, not suspecting for a second
0:54:48 > 0:54:51that you did all of this in order to kill her.
0:54:53 > 0:54:55It was to be the perfect murder.
0:54:55 > 0:54:56After all...
0:54:58 > 0:55:01..how could a dead man kill his own wife?
0:55:01 > 0:55:04Made you look pretty stupid, though, didn't I?
0:55:04 > 0:55:06Yeah. You did.
0:55:06 > 0:55:08And please feel free to continue gloating
0:55:08 > 0:55:11throughout your double life sentence.
0:55:26 > 0:55:28Bravo!
0:55:30 > 0:55:32Actually, it was Fidel who cracked the case.
0:55:32 > 0:55:35- Me?- Mm. Absolutely.
0:55:35 > 0:55:37Your beggar thief, the old woman that never was.
0:55:37 > 0:55:39Without her,
0:55:39 > 0:55:40or, er, him, as it turned out,
0:55:40 > 0:55:42I'd never have made the leap.
0:55:42 > 0:55:44That was quite something.
0:55:44 > 0:55:45Thank you.
0:55:45 > 0:55:46Coo-ee!
0:55:46 > 0:55:48Oh, Lord!
0:55:48 > 0:55:49I see you got someone, then?
0:55:49 > 0:55:53So, what was it? Sex? Or money?
0:55:53 > 0:55:55- Both.- Thought so.
0:55:55 > 0:55:57BRM. Never fails.
0:56:02 > 0:56:04You don't want to know.
0:56:04 > 0:56:07Well, I think we should celebrate,
0:56:07 > 0:56:09as you missed your own birthday party last night.
0:56:09 > 0:56:11Cracking idea!
0:56:11 > 0:56:14Erm, actually, I'm a little bit tired. Been up all night.
0:56:14 > 0:56:18And one or two things to do. So, er, why don't I meet you back here?
0:56:18 > 0:56:20If you don't, we'll come and find you!
0:56:20 > 0:56:24- Absolutely.- We mean it.- Bye!
0:56:31 > 0:56:35Ah! Look, he's got his cake!
0:56:35 > 0:56:37No! What are you doing?
0:56:37 > 0:56:40THEY LAUGH
0:56:40 > 0:56:41OK, go, go.
0:56:54 > 0:56:55Happy birthday, sir.
0:57:00 > 0:57:02OK. Here we go.
0:57:02 > 0:57:05HE CHUCKLES
0:57:05 > 0:57:06There you are!
0:57:14 > 0:57:18Cheers. To the chief. ALL: Cheers!
0:57:21 > 0:57:23- What if someone sees us together? - Excuse me?
0:57:26 > 0:57:28You haven't told her yet, have you?
0:57:28 > 0:57:30Are you OK to dive?
0:57:31 > 0:57:33Phil!
0:57:33 > 0:57:36We've just pulled a body out of the water. Not an accident.
0:57:39 > 0:57:43Detective Sergeant Angela Young. She will be your senior officer.
0:57:43 > 0:57:46- The inspector isn't here, is he, Freddie?- I- am.
0:57:46 > 0:57:50- She told me to be honest. - When women tell you to be honest, they don't mean it!
0:57:50 > 0:57:52Well, what sense does that make?
0:57:52 > 0:57:54- What's the problem?? - No problem, sir.
0:57:54 > 0:57:57SIREN WAILS Hey, what you doing?
0:57:57 > 0:57:58Stop! Police!
