0:00:02 > 0:00:05SAMBA DRUMMING

0:00:25 > 0:00:27CROWD CHEERS

0:00:37 > 0:00:41- Come on, come on!- Yeah, I'm coming. I AM watching, you know.

0:00:41 > 0:00:45- The greatest performer of all time!- Thanks.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47You don't know how lucky you are, you know.

0:00:47 > 0:00:51Solly hasn't stepped foot on stage for ten years. AMAZING!

0:00:51 > 0:00:54Where's the Chief? I don't want him to miss this.

0:00:54 > 0:00:56He said he had to get some air.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58- Air?! - HE TUTS

0:01:04 > 0:01:08No, no, honestly, I'm fine, thank you. No, NO! No!

0:01:11 > 0:01:13WOMAN SOBBING

0:01:19 > 0:01:22- You're going to miss the show. - Yeah? Wouldn't that be terrible?

0:01:28 > 0:01:30You know they say that a man who doesn't love music,

0:01:30 > 0:01:32doesn't love life.

0:01:35 > 0:01:37I'm waiting for a cup of tea.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40They don't serve tea here.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43- They told me they did. They took my money.- Oh, come on!

0:01:43 > 0:01:46Dwayne will have a coronary if you miss this.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51Think of it as a team-building exercise.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Richard, come on!

0:02:16 > 0:02:20- Ah chief, you're just in time! - Well, this is fun(!)

0:02:20 > 0:02:21Don't spoil it.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23SHE LAUGHS

0:02:30 > 0:02:33Look, here he comes.

0:03:01 > 0:03:02Any minute now.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05Sorry, what is it we're waiting for?

0:03:05 > 0:03:08The singer, Solly, bursts out of the coffin.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10Why?

0:03:10 > 0:03:12It's show business.

0:03:25 > 0:03:26Ladies and gentlemen.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28THEY CHEER

0:03:28 > 0:03:30- The one...- ALL: Yeah!

0:03:30 > 0:03:31- The only...- ALL: Yeah!

0:03:31 > 0:03:32Solomon...

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Any minute now.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36Solly...Jackson!

0:03:36 > 0:03:37THEY CHEER

0:03:49 > 0:03:52It's a trick...

0:03:52 > 0:03:53just wait and see.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55It has to be.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59I thought you said it was show business?

0:04:01 > 0:04:03WOMEN SCREAMING

0:04:03 > 0:04:07OK, Honore Police, move back, thank you, thank you.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53Convenient really, having your own coffin, ready and waiting.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56Blood groupings show he was definitely killed inside it.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59Close range, gunshot wound. You should have the area searched,

0:04:59 > 0:05:02- see if anyone discarded the murder weapon anywhere.- Maybe in the coffin?

0:05:02 > 0:05:06Well, no, no. That would be highly unlikely.

0:05:06 > 0:05:07Ahem.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11Or not.

0:05:11 > 0:05:12Have Dwayne run it for prints.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17Any idea what this is?

0:05:17 > 0:05:19Maybe a good-luck charm?

0:05:19 > 0:05:21Obviously didn't work, then.

0:05:25 > 0:05:26It's, erm...

0:05:27 > 0:05:30..strange the way he's been laid out, isn't it? With his arms folded.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33At rest...in repose.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37You don't do that unless you have a connection with someone.

0:05:37 > 0:05:42Whoever did this must have known him. Cared about him.

0:05:42 > 0:05:43Maybe even loved him.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47They've got a funny way of showing it.

0:05:49 > 0:05:54- I've been waiting for this day for ten years.- For, er, Solly to die?

0:05:54 > 0:05:57No, no, for the band to get back together.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00I've played with other groups since we split but...

0:06:00 > 0:06:04when Curtis, Eddie and Solly was out there, oh!

0:06:04 > 0:06:06It was magical.

0:06:06 > 0:06:10- Why did the band break-up the first time?- I don't know.

0:06:10 > 0:06:11You must have some idea.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14No, I just hit the keys. I avoid all that stuff.

0:06:14 > 0:06:18A couple of months back, Eddie, the bass player, called me up

0:06:18 > 0:06:21and said Solly had finally agreed to do some new shows.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24Some shows? So, this wasn't just a one-off?

0:06:24 > 0:06:29Eddie had big plans for us, back in the studio, back on the road...

0:06:31 > 0:06:32Would have been fun.

0:06:32 > 0:06:36- When was the last time you saw Solly?- Hmm...backstage.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38Just when we went to get ready.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41Just make sure you boys can keep up with me.

0:06:41 > 0:06:42OK?

0:06:46 > 0:06:48Explain the coffin to me.

0:06:48 > 0:06:49It was Solly's thing.

0:06:49 > 0:06:5315 minutes before the show, he goes out and gets into the coffin,

0:06:53 > 0:06:56pulls the lid and waits there to be taken onto stage.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59And, erm, he went in there alone?

0:06:59 > 0:07:03Nobody was allowed, Solly was very strict about it.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06You could set your watch to it, 15 minutes...

0:07:08 > 0:07:09Some things never change, I guess.

0:07:09 > 0:07:1215 minutes, fellas! He'll be getting in there right now.

0:07:12 > 0:07:17'We were all backstage together, Solly away on his own.

0:07:17 > 0:07:22'The rest of us finally able to relax and have some fun.'

0:07:22 > 0:07:25See, when we first started out, we were good, you know,

0:07:25 > 0:07:27we were solid, but nobody came to see us.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29We were just another band, we didn't stand out.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32- So you came up with the coffin as a stage gimmick.- Solly did.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34You can say what you like about the guy,

0:07:34 > 0:07:37but he was a genius when it came to that side of things.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Played out the whole mystical angle.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41Telling the press that he slept in it,

0:07:41 > 0:07:43that that's where he got his voodoo force!

0:07:43 > 0:07:46It had been ten years since we were out on stage.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49So I guess he needed this time, now more than ever,

0:07:49 > 0:07:51to get into character.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55To do the things the way he always did.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01I didn't believe a word of it.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Not then, not now.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05The coffin, the whole 15 minutes alone.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08He didn't need it. I think he just wanted to make sure

0:08:08 > 0:08:09that we knew he was the boss.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11That he was better than the rest of us.

0:08:11 > 0:08:17So erm, there was, er, some resentment in the band towards him?

0:08:17 > 0:08:22We spent years working hard to sell records, to make him famous,

0:08:22 > 0:08:25but the more popular we got, the more Solly got distracted.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27The drinks, the party, the woman.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29He threw away his career -

0:08:29 > 0:08:30all our careers.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33- So, yeah, you can say there was some kind of resentment, yes.- Sorry...

0:08:33 > 0:08:36do, do you think you could put that thing elsewhere while we talk to you,

0:08:36 > 0:08:39it's, er...it's just a little distracting.

0:08:39 > 0:08:40I am an ophiophilist.

0:08:42 > 0:08:46It means I am fond of snakes. Smart creatures. Very loyal.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48Even so...

0:08:48 > 0:08:50- You'd rather I just let her run free?- Whoa!

0:08:50 > 0:08:52No that's fine, that's fine, that's fine.

0:08:52 > 0:08:56So quarter to nine, Solly goes to his coffin, to prepare for the show.

0:08:56 > 0:09:00- Where were you?- With the rest of them, backstage, ready to go on.

0:09:00 > 0:09:04I wasn't sure about the comeback, old wounds,

0:09:04 > 0:09:09but there's no denying it, building up to that nine o'clock show time...

0:09:09 > 0:09:11boy, it felt good to be back.

0:09:13 > 0:09:18When the band start playing their first, erm, number...

0:09:18 > 0:09:21it's your job to make sure the coffin appears on stage?

0:09:21 > 0:09:25Two minutes into the music I go backstage, to get the coffin.

0:09:27 > 0:09:28Break a leg, Solly!

0:09:28 > 0:09:30I didn't know anything was wrong till I opened it up.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32So you're the only one who had access to Solly?

0:09:32 > 0:09:35- Officially, yes.- And erm...

0:09:35 > 0:09:38where were you during the 15 minutes of his "alone time"?

0:09:38 > 0:09:40Well, I was on stage, checking out the equipment.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42You can ask anyone at the bar.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44And as far as you know, nobody went to see him during that time?

0:09:44 > 0:09:48Solly would have torn them off a strip, BUT Solly being Solly...

0:09:48 > 0:09:51There can always been exceptions to the rules, like that girl.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53Which girl?

0:09:53 > 0:09:54I didn't know her name.

0:09:54 > 0:09:58Been around for a week or so, said she was a photographer.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01Pretty little thing, early 20s.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03Solly was obviously very fond of her

0:10:03 > 0:10:07cos he didn't shout or scream around her like he did with everybody else.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09She even stopped by to see him this evening.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12Right, do you remember what shoes she was wearing?

0:10:12 > 0:10:16Any, any distinctive features? You know, plain shoes?

0:10:16 > 0:10:20Or something a little more...ostentatious?

0:10:20 > 0:10:21Quite a pronounced heel?

0:10:23 > 0:10:24Maybe blue flowers on the front?

0:10:24 > 0:10:28I didn't realise you were so interested in women's fashion.

0:10:28 > 0:10:29I'm not!

0:10:29 > 0:10:33- I'm simply trying to establish what shoes she was wearing.- Hm, I see.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35Shoes are shoes, man, and with a smile like that,

0:10:35 > 0:10:37you focus on her face.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39That can't have been easy for his wife.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41Solly running round with a younger girl.

0:10:41 > 0:10:46Nothing Solly ever did was easy on other folk.

0:10:46 > 0:10:50So, you're seriously telling me you weren't jealous of him spending time with a younger, prettier woman?

0:10:51 > 0:10:54Which is what I would be asking Avita Jackson,

0:10:54 > 0:10:58if YOU hadn't let her leave!

0:10:58 > 0:11:00Sir, she was crying, she'd just lost her husband...

0:11:00 > 0:11:03No, no, no, no, she hadn't lost him, he was murdered,

0:11:03 > 0:11:06- which is all the more reason to keep her here.- OK, Chief.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08I screwed up, I know.

0:11:09 > 0:11:10Right...

0:11:10 > 0:11:14Avita...the wife.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17Eddie, bass player, architect of the comeback.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19Curtis the guitarist, Renward the keyboard player

0:11:19 > 0:11:22and Neville the roadie.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25Each one has an alibi for the time of the murder.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28Anyone know where the word alibi comes from?

0:11:28 > 0:11:31No? Latin.

0:11:31 > 0:11:32Somewhere else.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35Locative of the word "alias" -

0:11:35 > 0:11:38to pretend to be someone you're not!

0:11:51 > 0:11:53Two questions.

0:11:53 > 0:11:57Who was the mystery lady with pretty shoes?

0:11:57 > 0:11:58Yes, but also...

0:12:02 > 0:12:05- ..why a gun?- There are better ways, quieter.

0:12:05 > 0:12:06Exactly.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08Where do you want this, Chief?

0:12:08 > 0:12:10Ah!

0:12:10 > 0:12:11Just what we need.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13On the table, please.

0:12:16 > 0:12:17Seen this?

0:12:17 > 0:12:19Uh-hm...

0:12:19 > 0:12:22A woman with impressively large breasts!

0:12:23 > 0:12:26No, here, look. The pendant round his neck.

0:12:26 > 0:12:27Oh, so...

0:12:27 > 0:12:30the killer took it off and placed it in his hands.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32OK, great, why?

0:12:34 > 0:12:36I don't know.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39Erm, good to go, Chief.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41Do you want me to clear some space?

0:12:41 > 0:12:44In case you get the urge to kick off your shoes and dance?

0:12:44 > 0:12:47It's important that we profile the victim.

0:12:47 > 0:12:48Family, friends, colleagues,

0:12:48 > 0:12:50but in Solly's case we have the added benefit

0:12:50 > 0:12:53of being able to learn about him from his own words.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55His own songs.

0:12:55 > 0:12:59Understand the man and you'll understand the murder.

0:13:01 > 0:13:02LOUD GRIME MUSIC

0:13:02 > 0:13:04# Wind up de gal With the voodoo style

0:13:04 > 0:13:06# Wind up Wind up de gal

0:13:06 > 0:13:07# With the goodness style

0:13:07 > 0:13:09# Wind up de gal With the wickedest style... #

0:13:09 > 0:13:12On second thoughts, Dwayne, perhaps it would be better

0:13:12 > 0:13:16- if you listened to it, transcribe the lyrics for me.- No need.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18Solly sang about two things.

0:13:18 > 0:13:19Monsters and women.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22There were some pretty weird-looking individuals at that show,

0:13:22 > 0:13:25but, er, I think we can rule out any of them being ACTUAL zombies.

0:13:25 > 0:13:26So what did he say about women?

0:13:26 > 0:13:29Solly sang about being a bit of a playboy.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31You know, man the hunter, women the prey.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34Every girl a flower waiting to be plucked.

0:13:34 > 0:13:37An uncharted map to be explored.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40Yep, well, we get the picture, although, erm...

0:13:40 > 0:13:42strictly speaking, there's no such thing as an uncharted map.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45The whole point of cartography is to illuminate the unknown.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47It's poetry.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50You have no romance in your soul.

0:13:50 > 0:13:55Either way, I think we can safely say Solly had an eye for the fairer sex.

0:13:55 > 0:14:00Oh, Solly had his fun all right, all over town!

0:14:00 > 0:14:01Despite being married.

0:14:01 > 0:14:02For 20 years.

0:14:02 > 0:14:06And seeing as certain members of the service saw fit to let her slip away yesterday...

0:14:08 > 0:14:11..perhaps now we should see what the wife has to say for herself.

0:14:24 > 0:14:25Ah!

0:14:35 > 0:14:36Mrs Jackson?

0:14:38 > 0:14:39Mrs Jackson?

0:14:41 > 0:14:43Sorry for disturbing you.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46You, er...

0:14:46 > 0:14:48thinking of leaving?

0:14:48 > 0:14:51- I'm Detective Inspector... - I know who you are.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53I understand this is a difficult time for you.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56- Would you mind if I saw your shoes?- Yes.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58Won't take a second.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00They're on my feet.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03And there's another pair by the door.

0:15:05 > 0:15:06Thank you.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09Is there another item of clothing you'd like to see?

0:15:11 > 0:15:12No, no.

0:15:12 > 0:15:13Although I, er...

0:15:13 > 0:15:18do notice you're throwing away those that belong to your husband.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20He's good. Very observant.

0:15:20 > 0:15:24There's no reason for me to hang on to them now.

0:15:26 > 0:15:27You don't seem very upset.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30Would you rather I was weeping and wailing on your shoulder?

0:15:30 > 0:15:33Am I sorry he's gone? Yes.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35Do I miss him?

0:15:35 > 0:15:37I don't know yet.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40Am I going to sit here and dwell on it?

0:15:40 > 0:15:43I have too much to do before I go back to St Lucia.

0:15:43 > 0:15:46Solly's wake to organise, and grief isn't going to help that.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50- At the time of his death... - I was backstage.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54Watching his band mates act like the little kids they are.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58Do you know of anyone who might have wanted him dead?

0:15:58 > 0:16:01I know people who didn't like him, but to kill him?

0:16:01 > 0:16:04We suspect the murderer might be someone he knew,

0:16:04 > 0:16:06someone close to him.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09Are there any brothers, sisters, children?

0:16:09 > 0:16:14Solly was an only child. and as for having little ones...

0:16:14 > 0:16:19I thought about it, cried about it, but he wasn't interested.

0:16:19 > 0:16:24Although, the other day, man looks round at me and says,

0:16:24 > 0:16:27"It wouldn't have been the end of the world."

0:16:27 > 0:16:28That was Solly.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31Just when you think you've figured him out,

0:16:31 > 0:16:33he'd find a new way to mess with your mind.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36This, erm, pendant he wore...

0:16:37 > 0:16:42- ..did it have any particular significance for him?- Just Voodoo tat. Practically worthless.

0:16:42 > 0:16:47My husband wore six-inch platform heels for a month in 1992.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49He wanted to be noticed, any way he could.

0:16:49 > 0:16:53Back when his voice was something worth listening to.

0:16:53 > 0:16:57Scrape away the Obeah make-up, the costumes, the whole silly act,

0:16:57 > 0:17:01when he started singing, he could break your heart.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04- If- he wanted to.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06I'm sure he got a lot of attention.

0:17:06 > 0:17:10Certainly his music paints him as something of a womaniser.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12Solly was a go-out, stay-out sort of man.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15If he came home before sunrise, I never saw it

0:17:15 > 0:17:19and what he did when he was out there - I never asked.

0:17:19 > 0:17:20I never wanted to know.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23But after all those years, out of the spotlight

0:17:23 > 0:17:27the prospect of a comeback must have been quite distressing for you.

0:17:27 > 0:17:29Perhaps you should say what you mean.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33There was a girl seen hanging around this past week, do you know her?

0:17:35 > 0:17:36I saw her.

0:17:36 > 0:17:40OK, let's give Solly his space, come on, let's do this.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42Smile.

0:17:44 > 0:17:48- Do you think he was having an affair with her?- Do you think I want to answer these questions?- Sir.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50I'm sorry, I know it's hard, but I have to ask.

0:17:51 > 0:17:52I don't know.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55Never the less, the prospect of a comeback...

0:17:56 > 0:17:59..many more shows, many more crowds, many more women.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02The thought of that must have made you very unhappy.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04Unhappy enough to kill him, is what you mean.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07- I'm simply trying to establish your state of mind at the time of the murder.- Oh.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09Is that what you're trying to do?

0:18:09 > 0:18:11You should watch your tone with the lady.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15Avita.

0:18:21 > 0:18:23This is a murder investigation, we have to follow all leads.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26Her husband died yesterday.

0:18:28 > 0:18:31She was with the rest of us when Solly got...

0:18:33 > 0:18:34When he passed away.

0:18:34 > 0:18:38We were all together, no matter how many questions you ask.

0:18:39 > 0:18:40I'm so sorry.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44Maybe we should let them be for the moment.

0:18:47 > 0:18:48Right, yes.

0:18:49 > 0:18:53We'll, erm, come back with any follow-up questions. Er...

0:18:55 > 0:18:58Don't make any travel plans without letting us know.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25What?

0:19:25 > 0:19:28We think Solly was killed by someone close to him, right?

0:19:28 > 0:19:30And yet everyone close to him has an alibi.

0:19:30 > 0:19:32The gun in the coffin...

0:19:32 > 0:19:35the body in repose, the pendant in the hand.

0:19:35 > 0:19:39- There's got to be a reason behind all of these things.- Which is?

0:19:40 > 0:19:45- Well, I don't know, I'm just saying. - Oh, I thought you had something.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47No.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49Oh, never mind.

0:20:36 > 0:20:37Ha!

0:20:39 > 0:20:41Pendant.

0:20:41 > 0:20:42- What?- Show me the pendant,

0:20:42 > 0:20:44the one that was found in Solly's hands.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50- Gold, yeah?- Yes. - See, just like these ones.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53Right? In the early albums.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56Then in the last few, early to mid-'90s, he switched -

0:20:56 > 0:20:58look - to silver.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00Yes, but when he was killed...

0:21:00 > 0:21:02Back to gold again.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05- It's got to be significant. - Bad news.

0:21:05 > 0:21:07Tried tracing the gun, came up with nothing.

0:21:07 > 0:21:11- No serial number, no leads. Sorry, Chief.- And what about our mystery girl?

0:21:11 > 0:21:15- Anything on her? - Sorry...- "Chief". Yeah, great.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18Well, keep hitting the streets, asking people.

0:21:18 > 0:21:22- It's not as if she's just going to walk in here and say...- Hello?

0:21:24 > 0:21:26Ah, hello?

0:21:26 > 0:21:29I'm Michelle Bouchant. I hear you've been looking for me.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32Yes.

0:21:32 > 0:21:35I'm Detective Inspector Richard Poole.

0:21:35 > 0:21:37You have nice shoes.

0:21:37 > 0:21:38Thank you.

0:21:38 > 0:21:40Very nice. Distinctive.

0:21:40 > 0:21:44So, you met Solly a few times?

0:21:44 > 0:21:46I was doing a photo assignment on him.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49- For a newspaper or magazine? - Uh, freelance.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51You're not local?

0:21:51 > 0:21:55No, well, sort of. My mother was.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57We moved away when I was young.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59Where were you before the show started last night?

0:21:59 > 0:22:04I was just at the venue, waiting for it to kick off.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06Didn't leave at all?

0:22:06 > 0:22:07No.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09May I?

0:22:19 > 0:22:22There's more between you and Solly than a photo assignment.

0:22:31 > 0:22:32Thank you.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36She didn't do it.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38- Why?- Too pretty.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44- So you weren't at the venue when the band came on stage.- No.

0:22:44 > 0:22:49It wasn't a question. It was a statement. I know you weren't - you were outside, crying. Why?

0:22:51 > 0:22:54You know the "why" part? Means it's a question I'd like you to answer.

0:22:54 > 0:22:59I was just...stressed.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01- Huh? Really? Because of what, work? - Yes.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04Of course. Yeah, your photo assignment.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06You can see for yourself.

0:23:10 > 0:23:13Not bad.

0:23:13 > 0:23:17You have a decent eye. You also have a silver pendant that Solly wore round his neck

0:23:17 > 0:23:18up until his death.

0:23:18 > 0:23:22So, if you have his pendant, you must have been very close with him?

0:23:22 > 0:23:24No, I only met him last week.

0:23:24 > 0:23:25You were born in 1991?

0:23:25 > 0:23:28- Yes.- The same year the album covers

0:23:28 > 0:23:31show the pendant changing from gold to silver.

0:23:31 > 0:23:34He gave the gold one away, didn't he?

0:23:34 > 0:23:35To your mother.

0:23:36 > 0:23:37Yes.

0:23:37 > 0:23:39Solly was your father?

0:23:43 > 0:23:47One for him and one for her.

0:23:47 > 0:23:48They had swapped.

0:23:48 > 0:23:51He gave her the gold pendant. He kept the silver one.

0:23:51 > 0:23:54- And you switched them back when you killed him.- What!?

0:23:54 > 0:23:55No, I didn't.

0:23:55 > 0:23:59- You didn't switch them or didn't kill him? - I... I didn't kill him.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02Then why switch the pendants?

0:24:02 > 0:24:04Seemed only right.

0:24:06 > 0:24:11To give him back the one that... she had kept for so long.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13So you admit to being there?

0:24:16 > 0:24:19I went to wish him luck

0:24:19 > 0:24:21before he went out there.

0:24:21 > 0:24:24He was so excited about doing another show.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28Two months back, I didn't know anything about my father.

0:24:28 > 0:24:32Name, face, nothing.

0:24:32 > 0:24:35Then, my mother...

0:24:35 > 0:24:38she gets sick.

0:24:39 > 0:24:42She died, 12 days ago.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47I came here because I didn't know where else to go,

0:24:47 > 0:24:49thought I had no other family.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51Did he mention anyone at all,

0:24:51 > 0:24:54anyone who might have had a motive to kill him?

0:24:54 > 0:24:57He wasn't killed. That's what hurt the most.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01I'd just found him

0:25:01 > 0:25:04and he said it made him feel complete.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09And then for him to take his own life...

0:25:13 > 0:25:15'I knew he'd been worried about the comeback,

0:25:15 > 0:25:19'about whether he could still wow the crowds.

0:25:19 > 0:25:20'But I never thought he'd do this.'

0:25:20 > 0:25:22Solly, no!

0:25:22 > 0:25:24'I should have run.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26'I should have got help. But I didn't.'

0:25:27 > 0:25:31I couldn't let them find him, not like that.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34'Solly had said to me that when he went out,

0:25:34 > 0:25:38'he wanted to be doing what he loved, out there, on stage.

0:25:38 > 0:25:42'I'd just watched my mother pass away in some anonymous hospital,

0:25:42 > 0:25:45'surrounded by people she didn't know.'

0:25:45 > 0:25:47I wasn't going to let that happen to my father.

0:25:47 > 0:25:51'As wrong as it was,

0:25:51 > 0:25:53'it was also right.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59'Out there, on stage.

0:25:59 > 0:26:02'One last show.'

0:26:02 > 0:26:05DEMENTED LAUGHTER

0:26:06 > 0:26:08The gun, arms folded, pendant.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10All accounted for.

0:26:12 > 0:26:16Er, we'll need to keep the camera.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18Photographs - potential evidence.

0:26:20 > 0:26:21And the pendant.

0:26:36 > 0:26:37HE SIGHS

0:26:39 > 0:26:41I told you she didn't do it.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43Yeah, based on the fact you think she's pretty.

0:26:43 > 0:26:46Why? You think she isn't?

0:26:46 > 0:26:48Dwayne, I'm married.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50- So?- So?

0:26:50 > 0:26:53Of course she is. But that's no reason to presume innocence.

0:26:53 > 0:26:55Then I was right, then, wasn't I?

0:26:55 > 0:26:57If you take her word for it.

0:26:57 > 0:27:00- CATHERINE:- He's still pouting, then.

0:27:00 > 0:27:01I'm not pouting.

0:27:01 > 0:27:04Should be glad. Murder's a terrible thing.

0:27:04 > 0:27:06Suicide isn't much better.

0:27:06 > 0:27:10Either way, Solly would be pleased now. Man will become a legend.

0:27:10 > 0:27:14Never grow any older. It's the dream of every star.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17And he's definitely pouting.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21I just don't believe it.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23Chief, all the evidence!

0:27:23 > 0:27:25Not to mention everyone close to him,

0:27:25 > 0:27:28everyone who loved him, has a cast-iron alibi.

0:27:28 > 0:27:29Something's not right.

0:27:32 > 0:27:34Hello?

0:27:34 > 0:27:38Oh. Thank you. Thank you very much.

0:27:38 > 0:27:39The prints on the gun.

0:27:39 > 0:27:40Not Solly's?

0:27:40 > 0:27:42No. Only Solly's.

0:27:45 > 0:27:47I know you're disappointed.

0:27:47 > 0:27:49His little mystery solved already.

0:27:49 > 0:27:51You think I'm wrong?

0:27:51 > 0:27:52I didn't say that.

0:27:52 > 0:27:57Chief, if you say it wasn't suicide, then I guess it wasn't.

0:27:57 > 0:27:59Yeah, you're always right.

0:27:59 > 0:28:01Well, one does one's best, yeah.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03So, who did it, then?

0:28:03 > 0:28:06Your mother's right. I am now officially pouting.

0:28:11 > 0:28:17- Have they run a gunshot residue analysis on Solly's hand and clothes yet?- No.

0:28:17 > 0:28:20Make sure they do it. Holding a gun is not the same as firing it.

0:28:23 > 0:28:27As far as I'm concerned, this case isn't closed yet.

0:28:27 > 0:28:29Work to be done.

0:28:29 > 0:28:31I don't suppose you could put that into some sort of...

0:28:31 > 0:28:33Never mind.

0:28:33 > 0:28:35Come on!

0:28:41 > 0:28:45I still can't believe I'm not going to hear his voice again.

0:28:45 > 0:28:48- Yellin' at you. "Stay in time, man!" - HE CHUCKLES

0:28:53 > 0:28:56We could keep going.

0:28:56 > 0:28:58With the band?

0:28:58 > 0:28:59I could sing.

0:28:59 > 0:29:01Since when last you sing?

0:29:01 > 0:29:04In the shower.

0:29:06 > 0:29:08- A bit strange.- Hmm?

0:29:09 > 0:29:11Just...

0:29:11 > 0:29:13Solly gets offed.

0:29:13 > 0:29:16And then there's you, all of a sudden,

0:29:16 > 0:29:19wanting to be lead man.

0:29:19 > 0:29:23- What are you saying? - Him not saying a thing.- No!

0:29:23 > 0:29:25I want to know what Eddie means. Hmm?

0:29:25 > 0:29:29Are you suggesting I had anything to do with Solly's death?

0:29:31 > 0:29:34- He had more reason than me. - Don't even go there!

0:29:34 > 0:29:35And what about you?

0:29:38 > 0:29:42After all the time I spent getting this band back together...

0:29:42 > 0:29:44Oh, so this is how it's going to be, huh?

0:29:44 > 0:29:48Us, sitting here, throwing accusations at each other?

0:29:53 > 0:29:55- Thanks!- Goodnight!

0:30:01 > 0:30:04- Hello?- Hi.

0:30:04 > 0:30:06They tell me this is the best place in town to get a drink?

0:30:06 > 0:30:08They tell the truth.

0:30:08 > 0:30:12Might I recommend the Planters Punch?

0:30:12 > 0:30:15That's the most expensive drink here.

0:30:15 > 0:30:17Oh, really? I hadn't noticed.

0:30:20 > 0:30:22I'll give you a minute to decide.

0:30:30 > 0:30:35No, don't worry. You get a discount.

0:30:37 > 0:30:41Your father played here. Long time ago.

0:30:41 > 0:30:43He told me.

0:30:43 > 0:30:46That boy couldn't stay still for a second.

0:30:46 > 0:30:48He'd be on his knees, climbing the walls.

0:30:48 > 0:30:53Rolling around like the devil himself was tickling his bones.

0:30:53 > 0:30:56And that it was for a handful of folk watching.

0:30:56 > 0:30:59Imagine how bad he was

0:30:59 > 0:31:02when the house was full.

0:31:02 > 0:31:04Maman, the man wants a drink.

0:31:10 > 0:31:12I know it's not easy.

0:31:14 > 0:31:17- I lost my dad when I was six. - I'm sorry.

0:31:17 > 0:31:19Was he ill for a long time or...

0:31:19 > 0:31:22Oh, no, no. He's not dead. He just found a new family.

0:31:24 > 0:31:27But you survived a long time without a father. You'll get by.

0:31:27 > 0:31:29I almost wished I'd never met him.

0:31:29 > 0:31:31He upset you?

0:31:31 > 0:31:34He hurt my mother a lot

0:31:34 > 0:31:36and I guess I was looking forward to...

0:31:36 > 0:31:37Making him pay?

0:31:37 > 0:31:40No.

0:31:40 > 0:31:43Just...

0:31:43 > 0:31:46making sure he understood what he'd done.

0:31:46 > 0:31:48It doesn't matter now, does it?

0:31:48 > 0:31:50Not going to happen.

0:31:51 > 0:31:53It's over.

0:31:53 > 0:31:56Not quite over. The investigation is still open.

0:31:56 > 0:31:59We're not quite convinced it was suicide.

0:31:59 > 0:32:01But if it wasn't...

0:32:04 > 0:32:07- Do you think you'll find out who did it?- We'll do everything we can.

0:32:07 > 0:32:11And I know DI Poole won't sleep until he's found out the truth.

0:32:37 > 0:32:39GLASS SHATTERS

0:32:57 > 0:32:59I warn you -

0:32:59 > 0:33:00I'm armed and...

0:33:02 > 0:33:04Well, I'm armed.

0:33:04 > 0:33:06FLOORBOARDS CREAK

0:33:19 > 0:33:22FLOORBOARDS CREAK

0:33:44 > 0:33:46Somebody doesn't like you.

0:33:46 > 0:33:47Indeed.

0:33:47 > 0:33:49An ophiophilist.

0:33:49 > 0:33:52Someone who loves snakes.

0:33:52 > 0:33:57- Try and keep up, Dwayne. - Oh! Curtis, the guitarist.

0:33:57 > 0:34:00You think it was a warning to stay away, stop the case?

0:34:00 > 0:34:02We'll find out in the morning.

0:34:09 > 0:34:12Do you want some company tonight?

0:34:12 > 0:34:14In case they come back?

0:34:15 > 0:34:18Well, that's very kind but, erm...

0:34:18 > 0:34:20Just to warn you, I do snore.

0:34:20 > 0:34:22Now, I don't mind sleeping on the sofa,

0:34:22 > 0:34:25but I am told I'm very loud.

0:34:26 > 0:34:28I'll be fine.

0:34:31 > 0:34:33You're sure?

0:34:38 > 0:34:41Oh, it was worth it, you know.

0:34:41 > 0:34:43Just to see those pyjamas again.

0:35:01 > 0:35:03- Sleep OK?- Of course.

0:35:03 > 0:35:06Only, you did seem a little shaken last night.

0:35:06 > 0:35:07No. Not at all.

0:35:07 > 0:35:11It's just an Englishman never likes to have his sleep disturbed.

0:35:11 > 0:35:15I've got something that will make you feel better.

0:35:15 > 0:35:16Gunshot residue report.

0:35:22 > 0:35:25- No sign of Solly having fired the gun.- Correct.

0:35:25 > 0:35:27I knew it.

0:35:27 > 0:35:29Well, I suspected it.

0:35:29 > 0:35:33So we can definitely rule out suicide. Solly's death was murder. I think we should...

0:35:33 > 0:35:36Argh! SHE CHUCKLES

0:35:36 > 0:35:40Ow, wow! Very immature!

0:35:40 > 0:35:42I'll have words with whoever did that.

0:35:42 > 0:35:44There's only you and me here.

0:35:44 > 0:35:47Well, I'm sorry, sir. You were saying we should...

0:35:47 > 0:35:51Ask Curtis about his snake. SHE CHUCKLES

0:35:53 > 0:35:55And why it ended up in my bungalow.

0:35:55 > 0:35:57SHE CHUCKLES

0:35:57 > 0:36:00- Excuse me?- Yeah.

0:36:18 > 0:36:22Yeah, well, there's the house of a man who ran out of money.

0:36:22 > 0:36:25Better be careful. We don't know how he'll react when cornered.

0:36:31 > 0:36:35Curtis James? This is Detective Inspector Richard Poole.

0:36:38 > 0:36:40What do you want?

0:36:41 > 0:36:44- Do you mind if we see your snake for a moment? - Is that meant to be funny?

0:36:44 > 0:36:46Not particularly.

0:36:49 > 0:36:54She's been missing all night. I've been searching for her everywhere.

0:36:56 > 0:36:58Sorry about the mess.

0:36:58 > 0:37:03Been going crazy trying to find my girl.

0:37:05 > 0:37:08Wait a minute. How did you know she was missing?

0:37:08 > 0:37:11Because somebody placed it in my bungalow last night.

0:37:11 > 0:37:12You've found her?

0:37:12 > 0:37:15- Is she all right?- Yes, but that's not really the point.

0:37:15 > 0:37:19- Oh, thank you very, very much. - No, no, you don't understand.

0:37:19 > 0:37:22It was deliberately placed in my home. A dangerous animal.

0:37:22 > 0:37:25Reptile, not animal.

0:37:25 > 0:37:29And I have a licence... somewhere.

0:37:29 > 0:37:31You're still failing to understand.

0:37:31 > 0:37:34Look, under the circumstances, your anim... Your reptile

0:37:34 > 0:37:37was used to threaten a police officer.

0:37:37 > 0:37:40What, you're going to arrest me? But I haven't done anything.

0:37:40 > 0:37:42Well, that remains to be seen.

0:37:42 > 0:37:44Well, she's safe, right? My snake.

0:37:44 > 0:37:46Definitely OK?

0:37:47 > 0:37:50This woman in this photograph...

0:37:50 > 0:37:52is that Avita?

0:37:52 > 0:37:54You seem close.

0:37:55 > 0:37:56We were.

0:37:58 > 0:38:01- Before... - Before Solly?

0:38:04 > 0:38:07Better come upstairs where you can get a little breeze.

0:38:07 > 0:38:10You seemed very bitter about Solly when we spoke to you.

0:38:10 > 0:38:13Even after you'd discovered he'd just died.

0:38:13 > 0:38:15We were in a band.

0:38:15 > 0:38:18Didn't mean we were family.

0:38:18 > 0:38:20And it didn't mean I liked him.

0:38:20 > 0:38:23Because of how things turned out with Avita?

0:38:24 > 0:38:27When I met her, she wanted to be a singer.

0:38:28 > 0:38:32I'd just joined Solly's band.

0:38:32 > 0:38:34She used to do the odd show with us, you know.

0:38:34 > 0:38:38Two of them out front, singing away, tearin' it up.

0:38:40 > 0:38:42I didn't see it coming.

0:38:42 > 0:38:44I was blind.

0:38:44 > 0:38:46You never got over her?

0:38:46 > 0:38:48Have you seen her?

0:38:48 > 0:38:51Right. I think we've established that you like her.

0:38:51 > 0:38:53So...

0:38:53 > 0:38:56in a way, everything's worked out for you.

0:38:56 > 0:38:57All right. Let's say I did it.

0:38:57 > 0:39:01Say it's me kill him, yeah?

0:39:01 > 0:39:03What would you do next, if you was me?

0:39:03 > 0:39:05Act normal.

0:39:05 > 0:39:08Go about my business, albeit a little sad, in mourning.

0:39:08 > 0:39:11Would you drive to the investigating officer's house

0:39:11 > 0:39:15and put a snake - a snake, you know - that was clearly tied to you

0:39:15 > 0:39:18- through his door? - If I was incredibly stupid, I might.

0:39:18 > 0:39:20Do I seem incredibly stupid to you, Detective Inspector?

0:39:20 > 0:39:24I don't know you well enough to say for sure. You might be.

0:39:24 > 0:39:30Or maybe you think someone else did it and you're trying to throw me off the scent. Like, er...

0:39:30 > 0:39:32- maybe Avita?- No.

0:39:32 > 0:39:35She didn't do it.

0:39:35 > 0:39:37- You don't sound 100% sure. - All right,

0:39:37 > 0:39:40- she was a little angry with Solly, but...- Angry? Why?

0:39:40 > 0:39:44Because she'd found out he had a daughter?

0:39:45 > 0:39:47Yes?

0:39:48 > 0:39:50Then?

0:39:50 > 0:39:52She's a good woman.

0:39:52 > 0:39:55- Are you having an affair with Avita? - What?!

0:39:57 > 0:39:59No, you weren't, were you?

0:39:59 > 0:40:03All those looks - it's always been from afar.

0:40:03 > 0:40:04For so long.

0:40:05 > 0:40:07Did you know she feels the same way?

0:40:08 > 0:40:09You really think so?

0:40:09 > 0:40:14Oh, I saw the way she reacted when you came round to see her,

0:40:14 > 0:40:17like everything was all right.

0:40:18 > 0:40:21Yes, as beautiful as this is, you're still suspected of murder.

0:40:21 > 0:40:25And for threatening and potentially harming a police officer.

0:40:25 > 0:40:27Stop smiling!

0:40:27 > 0:40:29You're still in a lot of trouble.

0:40:29 > 0:40:31How much remains to be seen.

0:40:36 > 0:40:39Camille?

0:40:46 > 0:40:50Curtis has motive. Solly stole his girlfriend. Never moves on.

0:40:50 > 0:40:53Has to watch his friend become a big star,

0:40:53 > 0:40:55the woman he loves on Solly's arm.

0:40:56 > 0:41:00Well, if only he didn't have an alibi.

0:41:00 > 0:41:01I know.

0:41:01 > 0:41:05Those 15 minutes Solly's alone -

0:41:05 > 0:41:07I've checked all the witness statements.

0:41:07 > 0:41:12The band, Avita - all together.

0:41:12 > 0:41:15- Somebody's lying. - Yup! Someone is.

0:41:20 > 0:41:22You're in love with Curtis!

0:41:25 > 0:41:29- I'm sorry?- What he means to say is...- You love Curtis, he loves you.

0:41:29 > 0:41:34- Does the fact that I'm recently widowed not mean anything to you? - So, you're not denying it, then?

0:41:34 > 0:41:36You don't think I know where this is going?

0:41:36 > 0:41:38Curtis already phoned me

0:41:38 > 0:41:40and told me he said I knew about Michelle.

0:41:40 > 0:41:42A fact you failed to mention to us.

0:41:42 > 0:41:46So now you want to know was I was upset, hurt,

0:41:46 > 0:41:47angry enough to kill him?

0:41:47 > 0:41:51If you'd be so kind as to indulge me?

0:41:51 > 0:41:53Yes...

0:41:53 > 0:41:54yes...

0:41:54 > 0:41:55no.

0:41:58 > 0:41:59HE SIGHS

0:42:01 > 0:42:02Did you still love Solly?

0:42:04 > 0:42:05I don't know.

0:42:05 > 0:42:08Do you think he was pleased to find out he had a child?

0:42:08 > 0:42:11A daughter would mean responsibility.

0:42:11 > 0:42:15We're talking about a man who burned his bills, so he didn't have to deal with them.

0:42:15 > 0:42:18Michelle seems to think he was happy.

0:42:18 > 0:42:22People put a brave face on things.

0:42:22 > 0:42:26But if he was nice to her, she's lucky.

0:42:26 > 0:42:29- Because he cared?- Because he died before she knew the man he was.

0:42:29 > 0:42:33Or maybe she did see that side of him.

0:42:34 > 0:42:35Poor girl.

0:42:35 > 0:42:39- Is now a bad time? - Not at all.

0:42:39 > 0:42:41Nice to see you all together.

0:42:41 > 0:42:45We just wanted to finalise the details for Solly's wake.

0:42:45 > 0:42:47Yeah, very conscientious.

0:42:47 > 0:42:51We've known each other for 20 years.

0:42:51 > 0:42:53What else did you expect?

0:43:00 > 0:43:04It's natural they'd all come together at a time like this.

0:43:06 > 0:43:08MUSIC ON STEREO PLAYS

0:43:11 > 0:43:14DWAYNE HUMS ALONG

0:43:14 > 0:43:17There's something we're missing. Got to be.

0:43:17 > 0:43:18Maybe they were all in it together.

0:43:18 > 0:43:21No - one of them would have cracked. Given something away.

0:43:21 > 0:43:24OK, so, Avita -

0:43:24 > 0:43:26angry at her husband for the child he never knew about.

0:43:26 > 0:43:30Curtis - jealous of him for the years stolen with the girl he loved.

0:43:30 > 0:43:32Michelle - her mother left to bring her up alone.

0:43:32 > 0:43:36And the rest of the band... WILL YOU PLEASE TURN THIS RACKET OFF!

0:43:36 > 0:43:40- Sir...- I can't work with this...noise!

0:43:42 > 0:43:44HE SIGHS

0:43:51 > 0:43:54- You're being too hard.- It's a police station, not a discotheque.

0:43:54 > 0:43:56No, not on Dwayne. On yourself.

0:43:56 > 0:44:00Sometimes you just have to relax,

0:44:00 > 0:44:01go with the flow.

0:44:03 > 0:44:06- Please tell me you didn't just say that.- I just mean

0:44:06 > 0:44:08if you loosen up a little, you unwind,

0:44:08 > 0:44:10things wouldn't be so tough.

0:44:10 > 0:44:12- Yep. Music please, Dwayne! - Oh, come on, Sir.

0:44:12 > 0:44:16No, I need to loosen up. I'm going to rip off all my clothes and limbo under a desk!

0:44:16 > 0:44:19MUSIC STARTS What are you doing?!

0:44:19 > 0:44:23- He was being sarcastic. - So, you want me to...- Yes!- No!

0:44:23 > 0:44:25Come on, you've made your point.

0:44:27 > 0:44:29This song.

0:44:29 > 0:44:31The Serpent Swing.

0:44:31 > 0:44:34- It's the one they play when Solly comes on stage, yeah?- Yes.

0:44:34 > 0:44:38- I need to hear the version they played on the night.- This is it.

0:44:38 > 0:44:41No, no. No, this is the studio version. I need the actual one,

0:44:41 > 0:44:43the live one they played the night of the murder.

0:44:43 > 0:44:47- Unless you have a time machine, that's going to be impossible. - HE LAUGHS

0:44:47 > 0:44:49Nothing's impossible.

0:44:49 > 0:44:51Fidel.

0:44:56 > 0:44:58- Not long to go now, eh?- I know.

0:44:58 > 0:45:01- Your very own bouncing bundle of joy.- I know.

0:45:01 > 0:45:04- Nervous?- Well, actually the more you talk about it, yes.

0:45:04 > 0:45:07- Thought of names?- We don't even know if it's a boy or girl.

0:45:07 > 0:45:11- Juliet wants it to be a surprise. - Doesn't mean you can't get a head start on the name.

0:45:11 > 0:45:14- There's so many different ones to choose from.- I suppose.

0:45:14 > 0:45:17- Take my advice, yeah? Keep the name short.- Mm.- Punchy.- Mm.

0:45:17 > 0:45:21Something like - oh, I don't know - Dwayne?

0:45:23 > 0:45:25Hmm, OK, right.

0:45:25 > 0:45:27How you doing, Ricky?

0:45:27 > 0:45:30Fidel, grab it. We'll take this.

0:45:30 > 0:45:33- God bless Solly! - You got any live stuff?

0:45:33 > 0:45:37- We're looking for a bootleg of last night's show.- No, no. Be illegal.

0:45:37 > 0:45:40We don't carry that. THEY ALL LAUGH

0:45:41 > 0:45:43Now, you and I both know that isn't true.

0:45:43 > 0:45:45So unless you want me to look for myself...

0:45:48 > 0:45:51- Shame the show ended early the other night, huh?- Yeah.

0:45:55 > 0:45:57MUSIC PLAYING THROUGH HEADPHONES

0:46:04 > 0:46:06Look. I think he's getting into it.

0:46:06 > 0:46:07What, the music?

0:46:07 > 0:46:09He can't help it.

0:46:09 > 0:46:13Even if it only lasts a few minutes, the rhythm gets to you.

0:46:13 > 0:46:14THEY LAUGH

0:46:14 > 0:46:16Not the Chief!

0:46:16 > 0:46:20Not the Chief! Can you really imagine him getting on down, dancing away to it?

0:46:20 > 0:46:22I can hear you, you know.

0:46:27 > 0:46:29- Dwayne?- Chief?

0:46:29 > 0:46:32In your professional opinion - on a scale of one to ten -

0:46:32 > 0:46:34- how would you class Solly's band? - A ten.

0:46:34 > 0:46:37Keep good time, perfect tune, rarely make mistakes?

0:46:37 > 0:46:38I'd say never.

0:46:38 > 0:46:41- Really?- Hmm.

0:46:41 > 0:46:45Cos that's not what I'm hearing. Still, what do I know?

0:46:45 > 0:46:48You're the big fan.

0:46:48 > 0:46:53Now, let's see if they managed to hit the right notes on this, The Greatest Hits.

0:46:55 > 0:46:57Hang on. When did you buy this?

0:46:57 > 0:47:01At the market. When we picked up the live one.

0:47:01 > 0:47:03This is an official release?

0:47:03 > 0:47:07That's right. Came out yesterday. Apparently it's very popular.

0:47:07 > 0:47:10- MOBILE RINGS - Sorry. Excuse me.

0:47:11 > 0:47:13What do you think?

0:47:16 > 0:47:19All his best tunes are here - JuJu Jamboree,

0:47:19 > 0:47:23- oh, Stick A Spell On My Heart. - And? Nothing else?

0:47:23 > 0:47:25No.

0:47:26 > 0:47:29Oh, well, apart from the fact that

0:47:29 > 0:47:32even considering how fast digital production is,

0:47:32 > 0:47:37the band would have had to be pretty focused to get the CD burnt,

0:47:37 > 0:47:41cover designed, printed, packaged and distributed

0:47:41 > 0:47:45only one day after Solly's death. No, there's nothing else.

0:47:48 > 0:47:51Fidel, well?

0:47:51 > 0:47:52False alarm.

0:47:52 > 0:47:56Juliet thought she was going into labour - trapped wind.

0:47:56 > 0:48:00- You know for a moment there, I really thought the baby was coming early.- Whoa!

0:48:01 > 0:48:05Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

0:48:08 > 0:48:12- There's a time period in which you're expecting the baby to arrive, yeah?- Right.

0:48:12 > 0:48:16And all things going to plan, that will happen.

0:48:16 > 0:48:18Of course.

0:48:21 > 0:48:24- OK, where's the rest of Michelle's photos?- On my desk.- OK.

0:48:32 > 0:48:34HE LAUGHS

0:48:41 > 0:48:43The drums start.

0:48:43 > 0:48:46The bass comes in. The guitars.

0:48:46 > 0:48:47The horns.

0:48:47 > 0:48:50I have no idea what he's talking about.

0:48:50 > 0:48:51It's a metaphor.

0:48:51 > 0:48:54Right... I still have no idea.

0:48:54 > 0:48:57It all starts to come together.

0:48:57 > 0:49:00Separate pieces...becoming one.

0:49:00 > 0:49:03- Fidel, one last job for you. You can meet us there.- Where?

0:49:03 > 0:49:05We have a wake to attend.

0:49:12 > 0:49:15You know, timing is everything.

0:49:15 > 0:49:17- BANGING AND CLANGING - Sorry!

0:49:17 > 0:49:19If you could join us...

0:49:19 > 0:49:23- I just need to get everything ready for the wake. - Only take a minute. Or ten.

0:49:25 > 0:49:27Ten golden minutes.

0:49:27 > 0:49:30The window of opportunity the murderer used to kill Solly.

0:49:37 > 0:49:41Taken by Michelle at 8:34, according to the camera,

0:49:41 > 0:49:43on the night of Solly's murder.

0:49:45 > 0:49:49And yet the dressing room clock in this same photograph...

0:49:50 > 0:49:52..says it's 8:44.

0:49:52 > 0:49:578:34 in the camera, 8:44 on the dressing room clock.

0:49:57 > 0:50:01Ten minutes. Here's a photograph I took of the dressing room clock

0:50:01 > 0:50:03just before I came in here.

0:50:03 > 0:50:06The same camera, same dressing room clock.

0:50:06 > 0:50:10And the time on the dressing room clock?

0:50:10 > 0:50:1211:55.

0:50:12 > 0:50:16And the time on the camera?

0:50:17 > 0:50:1911:55.

0:50:19 > 0:50:21Thank you, Renward.

0:50:22 > 0:50:24Hmm...

0:50:24 > 0:50:28We were meant to believe that Solly died in the 15 minutes before he went onstage.

0:50:29 > 0:50:33His "alone time". But he didn't.

0:50:33 > 0:50:38Because someone changed the dressing room clock.

0:50:39 > 0:50:42Unknown to Solly, he got into the coffin ten minutes early,

0:50:42 > 0:50:45giving the killer time to do the job,

0:50:45 > 0:50:46then slip away and join the others.

0:50:46 > 0:50:49Leaving no-one any the wiser as to the fact that

0:50:49 > 0:50:51Solly was already dead.

0:50:52 > 0:50:56Hmm. That's interesting.

0:50:56 > 0:50:59Now none of you has an alibi for the time of the murder.

0:51:00 > 0:51:02So, who's the killer?

0:51:05 > 0:51:09Curtis - broken hearted, jealous.

0:51:11 > 0:51:12Eddie -

0:51:12 > 0:51:17all that effort put into a reunion and Solly still ungrateful as ever.

0:51:17 > 0:51:18Renward -

0:51:18 > 0:51:20the man who loved the band.

0:51:20 > 0:51:24Cast out for ten years, waiting on the whim of his singer.

0:51:24 > 0:51:26Avita -

0:51:26 > 0:51:29many women would have walked away a long time ago.

0:51:29 > 0:51:33No-one could fault you for trying. Just as no-one could fault you

0:51:33 > 0:51:36for finally breaking when you found out about the daughter.

0:51:36 > 0:51:40Michelle - Solly walked out on your mother.

0:51:40 > 0:51:44Didn't want to know, left her to bring you up alone. Can't have been easy.

0:51:47 > 0:51:49- Everyone had a motive. - Uh, you missed someone.

0:51:49 > 0:51:52- No.- Me.

0:51:52 > 0:51:54- Well, you didn't do it. - I could have.

0:51:54 > 0:51:56Really? What was your motive?

0:51:56 > 0:51:57He owed me money?

0:51:57 > 0:52:00- Did he?- No.

0:52:00 > 0:52:02But...you're not wrong.

0:52:02 > 0:52:06I mean, you're not the killer, but you have hit the big question.

0:52:06 > 0:52:10Who stood to gain from Solly's death?

0:52:10 > 0:52:12After all, the new CD's available

0:52:12 > 0:52:15from all good market stalls and retailers now.

0:52:15 > 0:52:19In fact, I, er, checked, and interestingly enough

0:52:19 > 0:52:23it's going to make the Caribbean charts next week. Top ten. HE CLAPS

0:52:27 > 0:52:28And why?

0:52:28 > 0:52:30Because Solly is dead.

0:52:30 > 0:52:32Precisely.

0:52:32 > 0:52:37As career moves go, I understand it's one of popular music's finest.

0:52:37 > 0:52:40Did, erm, Solly have life insurance?

0:52:40 > 0:52:43He thought he was going to live forever.

0:52:43 > 0:52:44Savings?

0:52:46 > 0:52:47Surely a will?

0:52:50 > 0:52:55So he leaves nothing but the music. And the royalties.

0:52:55 > 0:52:58- Do you see any of those? - No. I just played guitar.

0:52:59 > 0:53:01All royalties go to the songwriters,

0:53:01 > 0:53:03which is Solly and...

0:53:06 > 0:53:08..Eddie.

0:53:11 > 0:53:14Never going to commit to a tour, was he?

0:53:14 > 0:53:19New album - doubt it'd sell enough to cover the costs.

0:53:19 > 0:53:23In fact, alive, he was worthless.

0:53:23 > 0:53:27One last show. One last payday.

0:53:29 > 0:53:32It was you who changed the time

0:53:32 > 0:53:35on the dressing room clock.

0:53:35 > 0:53:38Making Solly head off to the coffin early.

0:53:39 > 0:53:43Fireworks were due to start around 8.35.

0:53:43 > 0:53:46And so they did. Right on time.

0:53:56 > 0:53:59Then, there you were, making sure you were noticed.

0:53:59 > 0:54:02If anyone was asked what time they saw you,

0:54:02 > 0:54:04it would be the same time that Solly was alone.

0:54:04 > 0:54:07You knew Solly better than anyone. Knew he'd be in the coffin,

0:54:07 > 0:54:12knew you'd have time to shoot him, make it look like suicide and be back with band

0:54:12 > 0:54:15before anyone realised. Ready to go on stage.

0:54:15 > 0:54:18And everything was going to plan.

0:54:19 > 0:54:23Neville would fetch the coffin just after 9pm.

0:54:23 > 0:54:25He'd find it open...Solly dead.

0:54:25 > 0:54:28Suicide...Tragic.

0:54:28 > 0:54:31Another casualty of rock 'n' roll. Another legend born.

0:54:31 > 0:54:34Another album flying off the shelves.

0:54:36 > 0:54:39You were so surprised when you saw that coffin arrive

0:54:39 > 0:54:41you lost it for a moment, didn't you? WRONG NOTE

0:54:41 > 0:54:45Should have been playing an A. You played an E flat.

0:54:53 > 0:54:55So I hit a wrong note.

0:54:55 > 0:54:57- It's not a crime.- No.

0:54:57 > 0:54:59But murder is.

0:55:01 > 0:55:02You love the limelight.

0:55:02 > 0:55:05You can't just sit back, out of the way, can you?

0:55:05 > 0:55:09When you find out it's a murder investigation, you plant a snake,

0:55:09 > 0:55:11trying to implicate Curtis.

0:55:11 > 0:55:16A move not unlike your songwriting - brash, unsubtle, clumsy.

0:55:16 > 0:55:21So clumsy you didn't think to wipe your fingerprints off the dressing room clock when you changed the time.

0:55:21 > 0:55:22That's right.

0:55:22 > 0:55:26Got your sticky fingers all over it.

0:55:35 > 0:55:38I've got a top-ten album.

0:55:38 > 0:55:40What have you got, huh?

0:55:40 > 0:55:43- You've got something else as well. - What?- This!

0:55:43 > 0:55:45Been wanting to do that for years.

0:55:45 > 0:55:50- Is there anyone in this band you DO like?- Everyone will remember me!

0:55:50 > 0:55:54This is the story! You got a singer and a songwriter.

0:55:54 > 0:55:57One's dead, one's a killer. I'm a legend!

0:55:59 > 0:56:01I don't know about that.

0:56:02 > 0:56:05You're just the bass player.

0:56:05 > 0:56:06CARIBBEAN MUSIC

0:56:16 > 0:56:18DEMENTED LAUGHTER

0:56:21 > 0:56:23LOUD SLOW REGGAE MUSIC

0:56:39 > 0:56:42Do you think they could turn this down a little?

0:56:42 > 0:56:45I just don't see why it always has to be so loud.

0:56:45 > 0:56:46So you can feel the rhythm.

0:56:46 > 0:56:49In your head, your feet, your heart.

0:56:56 > 0:56:59- No!- One song. And it's a slow one.

0:56:59 > 0:57:01- I do not dance. - You've got a good ear.

0:57:01 > 0:57:05- Only person who noticed that off-note in the song. - Ears aren't feet.

0:57:05 > 0:57:07It's what Solly would have wanted.

0:57:09 > 0:57:11HE SIGHS

0:57:19 > 0:57:23- FASTER DANCE MUSIC STARTS - Richard!

0:57:34 > 0:57:35I'd like you to stay.

0:57:35 > 0:57:36I want to go home.

0:57:36 > 0:57:38- Hi.- You want to come in for coffee?

0:57:41 > 0:57:45- There has to be a connection. - I want to know if you think Dwayne killed her, yes or no?

0:57:45 > 0:57:49- I'm simply doing things by the book. - Look, you don't get it - the man is a ghost.

0:57:53 > 0:57:55Did she owe you money?

0:57:55 > 0:57:57Would she be planning to escape from?

0:57:57 > 0:58:00The Serious Organised Crime Agency, based in London.

0:58:00 > 0:58:02Argh!
