0:00:27 > 0:00:29Where are you going?

0:00:29 > 0:00:31I'll be at the mill.

0:00:31 > 0:00:36It's 12, people will be here for lunch soon. Look, here's the doctor.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39He's early. I won't be long.

0:00:40 > 0:00:41Go, hurry.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52- Doctor.- Mr Seymour.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02The storage barn needed a good clear-out.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05- Why don't you, er, come to lunch with us?- I don't know, sir.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08- Miss Kim?- Doctor?

0:01:08 > 0:01:10No, no. No excuses.

0:01:10 > 0:01:1312:30, prompt.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17Why has he summoned everyone?

0:01:17 > 0:01:21He said he has an announcement to make.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40We shouldn't arrive together. It's 12:30 now.

0:01:40 > 0:01:45- I'll walk up, wait five minutes. - I don't know if I can do this.

0:01:45 > 0:01:46It'll be fine.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26Dear God, Louis, are you done with that clanging?!

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Yes, miss. Sorry, miss.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Well, we can't wait for Nicole any longer.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Where is she, anyway? It's ten to one.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40He's not picking up.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43Paul, would you be a dear and go and get Roger? He'll be in the mill.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45- Of course.- Thank you.

0:02:51 > 0:02:52At last!

0:02:53 > 0:02:55Mrs Seymour.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08Oh! Nice of you to join us, Nicole.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13And I see you're off the wagon again, how very you.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17Drop dead, bitch.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20Someone! Call an ambulance! It's Roger!

0:03:24 > 0:03:28Ambulance, please. The Seymour Plantation.

0:04:18 > 0:04:19It's tradition.

0:04:20 > 0:04:24- Mama, do we really need to do this? - But we've never missed a year.

0:04:24 > 0:04:29- Yeah, then maybe it's a good time to start!- But they weren't all bad.- No?

0:04:29 > 0:04:30CAR HORN TOOTS

0:04:32 > 0:04:33Oh, I have to go.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38Tomorrow night, seven o'clock. Don't be late.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47If I strangled my mother do you think you'd catch me?

0:04:47 > 0:04:48Almost certainly.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54She thinks I'm still 16.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57Mothers can be a real hazard. Particularly yours.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01- What is it this time? - Erzulie celebrations.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03Oh, right. Well, that explains it(!)

0:05:03 > 0:05:06Erzulie is the voodoo goddess of love.

0:05:06 > 0:05:10And every year my mother uses it as an excuse to try and find me a man.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13She's just told me I've got a blind date tomorrow evening.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16- Well, I hope it's not with a man called Roger Seymour.- Why?

0:05:16 > 0:05:19I think the conversation may be a little bit stilted.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34Chief, Sarge.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39Roger Seymour, 71 years old.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42- Found by his family doctor, around 1pm.- Doctor?

0:05:42 > 0:05:43Yes, he was at the house for lunch.

0:05:43 > 0:05:47The rest of the family are there waiting for you now.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Well, there's no mystery about cause of death.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51Yes, and it looks like the handle has been wiped

0:05:51 > 0:05:53clean of fingerprints.

0:05:54 > 0:05:55Chief.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00- At least we know where it came from. - Opportunistic, do you think?

0:06:00 > 0:06:02Or did the killer know there was a weapon there?

0:06:02 > 0:06:04Someone who knows the plantation well?

0:06:07 > 0:06:09- Sorry, Fidel?- Sir?

0:06:09 > 0:06:10You seen this?

0:06:13 > 0:06:16What is that? Clean, freshly broken.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18It's not watch glass, it's too big.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20- A torch, maybe?- Could be.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26Why would he be using a torch in here? And where is it?

0:06:26 > 0:06:29- Is this a working mill? - Hasn't been used since the '80s.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32These days, all the sugar cane goes to a new mill on the other side of the island.

0:06:32 > 0:06:36The Seymours have had a set-up here for 300 years.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39- You seem to know a lot about it. - I had family who used to work here.

0:06:39 > 0:06:42- My grandfather used to tell me stories.- Stories about what?

0:06:44 > 0:06:45Hard times, mostly.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47They didn't treat their workers very well.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50It was a hangover from when they used slaves.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53Time moved on they didn't.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56Some people thought that the Seymours were devils, you know?

0:06:56 > 0:06:58That they could appear out of thin air to catch you

0:06:58 > 0:07:00if you wasn't working hard enough.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03- Demonic time and motion? Interesting concept.- Wait!

0:07:03 > 0:07:07The Seymour Plantation? This is where the 50 slaves disappeared.

0:07:07 > 0:07:11- 1820.- Disappeared? - Yes, I've heard about this.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13Every slave on the plantation. They were locked up for the night

0:07:13 > 0:07:16and, the next morning, they'd all vanished.

0:07:16 > 0:07:17Never to be seen again.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25You know, even if they turned out the lights and closed the door,

0:07:25 > 0:07:27the killer still wouldn't have needed it.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Excuse me?- The torch.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32- It's so bright in there.- Oh.

0:07:34 > 0:07:38Still, as you say, means of death should be pretty straightforward.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40A machete sticking straight out of his back

0:07:40 > 0:07:43should point them in the right direction.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45The victim was very rich, by all accounts,

0:07:45 > 0:07:48so let's concentrate on who benefits most from his death.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50- It's quite a physical murder, though.- Go on.

0:07:50 > 0:07:54Well, I imagine it's difficult to plunge a machete into someone's back.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57It must take passion or anger.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01So, perhaps this wasn't about money?

0:08:01 > 0:08:05Perhaps he wasn't too popular with his workers?

0:08:05 > 0:08:08Right! Well, time to talk to the family, I think.

0:08:10 > 0:08:14- Coming?- Yes. The main house is up there.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34Very impressive.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36Hello, I'm Dr Johnson. It was me who called you.

0:08:36 > 0:08:41Detective Inspector Richard Poole, Detective Sergeant Camille Bordey.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44- Hi. I understand, you found Mr Seymour's body?- Yes.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47You were here to have lunch? Yes, we all were.

0:08:47 > 0:08:51- Roger said he had an announcement to make.- Do you know what about?- No.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54- And he went to the mill before lunch?- Yes.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56The mill was something of a passion of his.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58He was planning to restore it,

0:08:58 > 0:09:00wanted to open it to the public as a museum.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03And Mr Seymour was with you here at the house, until what time?

0:09:03 > 0:09:08- Around noon.- And when he left to go to the mill, you stayed here?- Yes.

0:09:08 > 0:09:13But everyone was already here, so Kim asked me to go and get him.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16And that's when I found him.

0:09:16 > 0:09:20- Kim?- Kim Neville. Roger's... young lady.

0:09:22 > 0:09:26- And the others? - That's Alex, Roger's nephew.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29That's Louis, he works here.

0:09:29 > 0:09:33Roger took something of a shine to him, treated him like a son.

0:09:33 > 0:09:38- And that's Nicole, Roger's ex-wife. - Ex-wife? But, er...

0:09:38 > 0:09:41Yes, I can see how that might seem strange to other people,

0:09:41 > 0:09:43ex-wife and a new partner at the same lunch.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46But it was all very amicable.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48For heaven's sake, have you no shame?!

0:09:48 > 0:09:50Oh! You can talk!

0:09:54 > 0:09:55- Yes.- So I see.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58Can you tell me what time you discovered Mr Seymour's body?

0:09:58 > 0:10:01Yes. It was 12:53.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04I'm a doctor, it's a force of habit.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06So between noon, when he left to go to the mill, and 12:53,

0:10:06 > 0:10:10when you discovered his body, everyone was still at the house?

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Oh, yes. Absolutely.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32Boy, this place gives me the creeps.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34Yes, of course, there's a lot of history in here.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36Yes, but the wrong kind of history.

0:10:36 > 0:10:40- Bad things happened here, Fidel, I'm telling you.- Yes, I know.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Come on, let's go.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45I've got important phone calls to make before the chief gets back.

0:10:45 > 0:10:49- Who to?- It's Erzulie week. I've got to spread some loving around!

0:10:49 > 0:10:52OK, now you see, I thought you were actually talking about work.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55It is work. I have to devise a system for the week

0:10:55 > 0:10:57or they could all start bumping into each other.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59- You know something, Dwayne?- What?

0:10:59 > 0:11:02- You could just stick with one.- One?

0:11:02 > 0:11:04I'm a lot of things, Fidel, but I'm not selfish.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12Hold on, hold on. Wait a minute, wait.

0:11:12 > 0:11:13Oh, what now?

0:11:15 > 0:11:17His index finger, look.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21There's blood on it.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23- So?- How you mean, "so"?

0:11:23 > 0:11:27Fidel, the man has a machete in his back. There's blood everywhere.

0:11:27 > 0:11:31Yes, yes, but not on his hands, Dwayne. Look.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34Just on the tip of the finger.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40I'm sorry for your loss.

0:11:47 > 0:11:48Thank you.

0:11:48 > 0:11:54Of course. Can I ask how long you and Mr Seymour have been together?

0:11:54 > 0:11:58Almost a year. We became close when I helped him through his divorce.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01Actually, Uncle Roger left Aunt Nicole for her.

0:12:03 > 0:12:07Well, their marriage was on the rocks. He confided in me.

0:12:07 > 0:12:12- I'm sure he did. - I know what you're thinking.- Do you?

0:12:12 > 0:12:16A woman dating a rich man twice her age. But it wasn't like that.

0:12:18 > 0:12:24I loved Roger. He was the only man who saw the person inside.

0:12:25 > 0:12:30- He respected me.- Where were you between noon and 1pm?

0:12:30 > 0:12:33- I was here, on the veranda. - Outside?

0:12:33 > 0:12:36I may have gone in the house for a moment, I'm not sure.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39But, I was here with everyone else.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42I hope you're not suggesting...

0:12:42 > 0:12:43It's just procedure.

0:12:43 > 0:12:47Between the time that Roger left and when Dr Johnson discovered his body,

0:12:47 > 0:12:50- you were all here together?- Yes.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53I wasn't at the house, sir. I was cleaning the storage barn, there.

0:12:53 > 0:12:57But I was outside and I could still see everybody.

0:12:57 > 0:13:00Wait. Alex wasn't here. He was late.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03He didn't arrive until 12:30 and Nicole was even later.

0:13:03 > 0:13:08I was at the Harbour gym, got held up a bit. I don't know about Nicole.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11- Yes, where is the ex-Mrs Seymour? - I took her upstairs.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13She was a little emotional.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15Emotional as a newt.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18- Her husband has just been found dead!- EX-husband.

0:13:20 > 0:13:27Right, well, I think we had better leave you alone to grieve.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30Actually, one last question.

0:13:30 > 0:13:34We understand that Mr Seymour was going to make an announcement, does anyone know what that was?

0:13:35 > 0:13:38- He was going to announce our engagement.- What?!

0:13:38 > 0:13:40We'd talked about it. What else could it be?

0:13:40 > 0:13:42- He'd never marry you. - We were together, Alex.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44He loved me, whether you like it or not.

0:13:44 > 0:13:49And I know, Roger, it's Erzulie week, he would have thought it perfect.

0:13:49 > 0:13:50Erzulie is the voodoo goddess of love.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53- Yes, so I understand.- Sir?

0:13:55 > 0:13:58Ah, right. Well, we may need to speak to you all again later.

0:13:58 > 0:14:03Including Mrs Seymour, when she's, you know, fully rested.

0:14:08 > 0:14:09Inspector?

0:14:12 > 0:14:14It's about Nicole.

0:14:14 > 0:14:18Kim would like you to think badly of her, but she is a good person.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21- We're sure she is.- Yeah, you and your aunt are close, I take it?

0:14:21 > 0:14:24Yes, well, when I was 11 I lost my parents.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27And Uncle Roger and Aunt Nicole took me in.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31They brought me up, we were a family.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34Well, until she came along.

0:14:34 > 0:14:36And I can tell you

0:14:36 > 0:14:38that, Erzulie or not,

0:14:38 > 0:14:41there is no way that Uncle Roger would have married her.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44Don't worry. We'll talk to your aunt when she's feeling stronger

0:14:44 > 0:14:47and we'll make up our own minds. All right?

0:14:50 > 0:14:53Sir, there's something you need to see.

0:14:57 > 0:15:01What was so important that you had to tell them, Alex?

0:15:01 > 0:15:05Was it that you've been trying to get your grubby hands on his money?

0:15:25 > 0:15:27You think he tried to write something in his own blood?

0:15:27 > 0:15:29I can't think of another reason for there to be blood

0:15:29 > 0:15:31on just the tip of one finger like that.

0:15:31 > 0:15:35And there's something else. I could be wrong, but a line?

0:15:37 > 0:15:41- Was any of the area cleaned?- No, no, I secured the scene when I got here.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43But the killer could have wiped it clean?

0:15:43 > 0:15:47Or he simply didn't have sufficient blood on his finger to make an impression.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49His right arm was outstretched, away from the main area of blood.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51Like this.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53- Got any Luminal?- Yes, sir.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57Fidel, what's Liminal?

0:15:57 > 0:16:00Luminal, it fixes on the iron cells in the blood,

0:16:00 > 0:16:02it makes them fluorescent under black light.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Thanks.- So, if he did write something with that finger...

0:16:06 > 0:16:09We should be able to see exactly what it was.

0:16:23 > 0:16:24What is that? J-O-H?

0:16:24 > 0:16:26- Yes, it looks like it. - Dr Johnson?

0:16:46 > 0:16:47Let's see if Roger Seymour had a will.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49And do a background check on the girlfriend.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51Yes, check on the girlfriend.

0:16:51 > 0:16:53Let's do a check on the business as well,

0:16:53 > 0:16:54see what sort of shape it was in.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57You know, whether there were any disgruntled employees,

0:16:57 > 0:16:59- that sort of thing.- Chief!

0:16:59 > 0:17:01The doctor's not up at the house.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03Miss Neville said he left just after you did.

0:17:03 > 0:17:06- Better go keep track on him. - All right.- And let's talk to the workers.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15- Bonjour.- Bonjour. - Je suis Detective Camille Bordey.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31You OK?

0:17:38 > 0:17:39The police have gone.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44What did you tell them?

0:17:44 > 0:17:46Nothing.

0:17:49 > 0:17:50SHE SOBS

0:17:50 > 0:17:53I messed up!

0:17:53 > 0:17:55I'm so sorry!

0:18:01 > 0:18:04Everything will work out all right.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06I promise.

0:18:33 > 0:18:37Are you OK? It's Louis, isn't it?

0:18:37 > 0:18:38That's right.

0:18:38 > 0:18:42Dr Johnson told us that Mr Seymour and you were very close.

0:18:42 > 0:18:46He was a good man. He wasn't like most people I work for.

0:18:46 > 0:18:51He did take the time to get to know me, said he saw something in me.

0:18:51 > 0:18:53- Have you been here long? - About 18 months.

0:18:53 > 0:18:58I was doing some travelling, ran out of money, came to ask for work.

0:18:58 > 0:19:02Some of the workers have been saying that Mr Seymour was very strict.

0:19:02 > 0:19:06He was tough, yeah. You have to be, to run a plantation.

0:19:06 > 0:19:10But he was fair. This morning he said everyone can take time off

0:19:10 > 0:19:12at the weekend for the Erzulie celebrations.

0:19:12 > 0:19:16So you can't think of anyone who might want to hurt him?

0:19:16 > 0:19:19No. No-one.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25When it happened, you were here, clearing out the storeroom?

0:19:25 > 0:19:30- Yes, in fact he passed me on the way to the mill.- Did he say anything?

0:19:30 > 0:19:31He invited me for lunch.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38And all that time, before they found him,

0:19:38 > 0:19:41- you didn't see anyone leave the main house?- No.

0:19:43 > 0:19:46Well, Alex came later, then Mrs Seymour.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49But after that everybody was on the veranda the whole time.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53OK. Thank you.

0:19:56 > 0:19:59Oh there was a little girl here earlier, about ten?

0:19:59 > 0:20:03Very pretty. Had red ribbons in her hair. Do you know her?

0:20:03 > 0:20:07No, I don't think so. Must be one of the workers' children.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15Anything?

0:20:15 > 0:20:18Same as before, he was a rotten boss and everyone hated him.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20- Not everyone.- Ah?

0:20:20 > 0:20:24Well, you have to take these things with a pinch of salt, don't you?

0:20:24 > 0:20:28- People are always complaining about their boss. Usually without good cause.- Is that so?

0:20:28 > 0:20:31- Yeah, I bet you even complain about me when I'm not here.- Never!

0:20:41 > 0:20:43So, if Roger Seymour doesn't have any children,

0:20:43 > 0:20:45who inherits the plantation, I wonder?

0:20:45 > 0:20:47His nephew?

0:20:47 > 0:20:50And, as he can't account for his whereabouts between 12 and 12.30pm,

0:20:50 > 0:20:53when he arrived at the house, he has to be a suspect.

0:20:53 > 0:20:55- He said he was at the harbour gym. - Let's check it.

0:20:55 > 0:20:58- I also want to speak to the ex-wife, as soon as she sobers up.- Chief?

0:20:58 > 0:21:01Dr Johnson is back at his surgery, you want me to go and pick him up?

0:21:01 > 0:21:03No, call and tell him we're on our way

0:21:03 > 0:21:06and not to move till we get there. Anything on the girlfriend?

0:21:06 > 0:21:10Her immigration files say she came to Sainte-Marie from Antigua

0:21:10 > 0:21:12just over a year ago, nothing showing since then.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15- Yes, Dr Johnson please. - And the plantation?

0:21:15 > 0:21:18Last year's accounts on your desk, but they look pretty healthy.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21All right, thank you. What about the murder weapon?

0:21:21 > 0:21:26Ah, yes, I was right. The weapon had been wiped clean, no prints.

0:21:26 > 0:21:28Right, come on, let's start placing people.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31Not many of the workers at the plantation had a good word to say

0:21:31 > 0:21:34about Roger Seymour, so let's start cross checking their statements,

0:21:34 > 0:21:37ascertaining their exact whereabouts between noon and 1pm.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39- See if we can place any of them near the sugar mill.- Yes, sir.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42Thank you. Chief, Dr Johnson will see you at his surgery.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44It's not far, we can walk.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56- This voodoo goddess of love seems very popular?- Yes, she is.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59Particularly with your mother, trying to marry you off?

0:21:59 > 0:22:02Yeah, she thinks my biological clock is ticking.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05That if I don't find a husband soon, she'll never be a grandmother.

0:22:05 > 0:22:09- Yes, in England we call it, being left on the shelf.- Really?

0:22:09 > 0:22:11Yeah, you know, the last one in the shop no-one wanted.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13A doll with a broken arm perhaps or a wonky eye,

0:22:13 > 0:22:16something about it not quite right.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18Yeah, OK! I get the picture. Thank you.

0:22:19 > 0:22:23- So, these blind dates she arranges for you?- They're always a disaster.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26- Why? - Have you ever been on a blind date?

0:22:26 > 0:22:30Strangely enough, no. I've never really understood the concept.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32A bit like blindly ordering the house red

0:22:32 > 0:22:34rather than consulting the wine list.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36It's a recipe for disappointment.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39Er, are you saying I'm a house red?

0:22:39 > 0:22:41Certainly not, no you're more of a mature Rioja.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45- So I'm old?- I didn't say that. - You said I was mature!

0:22:45 > 0:22:47- That I was left on the shelf. - Yes, but...

0:22:47 > 0:22:50- With a broken leg and a wonky eye! - Why do women always do that?

0:22:50 > 0:22:53- Do what?- Twist things, to make you sound bad?- I'm not twisting.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55- I'm just repeating what you said. - But out of context.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58Which, quite frankly, Camille, is something you do rather a lot.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01- So you insult me and I'm the bad guy now?- I didn't insult you.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03- It sounded like it! - Only in your head.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05- Now, where's this surgery?- There!

0:23:11 > 0:23:13L'amour!

0:23:15 > 0:23:16I was worried about you.

0:23:19 > 0:23:20I doubt that.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24I thought perhaps you might feel happier at home.

0:23:26 > 0:23:30This was my home...

0:23:30 > 0:23:33for 27 years.

0:23:34 > 0:23:35And now it's mine.

0:23:37 > 0:23:40Don't worry about making the bed, I'll have one of the staff do it.

0:23:40 > 0:23:44- I know what you've been up to. - Really?- We have proof.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46What kind of proof?

0:23:47 > 0:23:49Wouldn't you like to know?

0:23:52 > 0:23:55You're just a sad old drunk, Nicole.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57Do you really think anyone wants to listen

0:23:57 > 0:23:59to anything you've got to say?

0:24:06 > 0:24:08I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11Well, it's not difficult, Doctor. Just before Mr Seymour died,

0:24:11 > 0:24:15it looks like he wrote the letters J-O-H on the floor, in his own blood.

0:24:15 > 0:24:19- The first three letters of your name.- And you think I killed him?

0:24:19 > 0:24:23Well, I think the victim scrawling your name in his own blood

0:24:23 > 0:24:25makes you a suspect at the very least.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27But why would I want to kill him?

0:24:27 > 0:24:29Hmm, I thought you might tell us that.

0:24:29 > 0:24:33No, I mean why would I kill him, when he was already dying?

0:24:34 > 0:24:36Sorry, what?

0:24:39 > 0:24:42He'd been blacking out, suffering from headaches

0:24:42 > 0:24:46and so we ran some tests, they only came back yesterday morning.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49He had a brain tumour. Inoperable.

0:24:51 > 0:24:53He had months left to live, six at the most.

0:24:55 > 0:24:57- Who else knew this?- No-one.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04You have to admit that knowing someone is dying anyway

0:25:04 > 0:25:06makes it less likely you'd murder them.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08You think that's what this mysterious announcement was?

0:25:08 > 0:25:11"Welcome to lunch, oh, by the way I'm dying"?

0:25:11 > 0:25:12Could be.

0:25:12 > 0:25:15Sir, I've done a quick cross-reference

0:25:15 > 0:25:18of the plantation workers' statements.

0:25:18 > 0:25:19Now, they were all together at lunch

0:25:19 > 0:25:21the time of the murder, so I can't see

0:25:21 > 0:25:24how any of them could have gotten into the mill without being seen.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27One of them did say Mr Seymour was arguing with his nephew yesterday.

0:25:27 > 0:25:29Oh? What did he say?

0:25:32 > 0:25:33Uncle Roger, let me explain!

0:25:33 > 0:25:36I know exactly what you and Nicole are up to.

0:25:39 > 0:25:41And you're sure that's exactly what he said?

0:25:41 > 0:25:43"I know what you and Nicole are up to."

0:25:43 > 0:25:45That's what the statement says, sir.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48- And the nephew was very keen to defend Mrs Seymour today.- Hmm.

0:25:51 > 0:25:52So, where are we?

0:25:52 > 0:25:56Kim Neville has an alibi for the entire time,

0:25:56 > 0:25:59from when Roger Seymour left the house to when he was murdered.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01And you don't kill the goose with the golden eggs.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04So, as good a suspect as she would normally be,

0:26:04 > 0:26:08we have to say she did not murder Roger Seymour.

0:26:08 > 0:26:11Then we've got Louis Nelson.

0:26:11 > 0:26:14He was working outside, so if he'd left and come back,

0:26:14 > 0:26:15someone would've seen him.

0:26:15 > 0:26:18Yeah, and he has no motive. The man worshipped Roger Seymour

0:26:18 > 0:26:22and he didn't stand to gain anything from his death.

0:26:22 > 0:26:26And this Dr Johnson. He was at the main house, too.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29But he could have killed him and just pretended to find the body.

0:26:29 > 0:26:34- But why would he if he knew the victim was dying already?- What?

0:26:34 > 0:26:38- He had a brain tumour. - But the victim wrote his name, sir.

0:26:38 > 0:26:40The truth is, it's only three letters, isn't it?

0:26:40 > 0:26:43We can't even be sure it's a name, let alone Johnson.

0:26:45 > 0:26:49And then why was the victim carrying a torch?

0:26:50 > 0:26:54OK, as far as I can see, the only people

0:26:54 > 0:26:58who could have gone to the mill unseen are Nicole Seymour and...

0:26:59 > 0:27:01Alex Seymour.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03He said he was late because he was held up at the gym.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05I checked, he signed out at 12:05.

0:27:07 > 0:27:11Well, it's very tight but just about possible for him

0:27:11 > 0:27:15to get from the harbour to the sugar mill, murder his uncle,

0:27:15 > 0:27:18and get back to the house for 12:30.

0:27:19 > 0:27:24Yes. Yet Nicole Seymour had plenty of time, didn't she?

0:27:24 > 0:27:27She didn't arrive at the main house until ten to one.

0:27:27 > 0:27:29And she's the only one we haven't interviewed yet.

0:27:47 > 0:27:48Nicole Seymour?

0:27:50 > 0:27:54- Detective Inspector Richard Poole. - It's the, er...- Police, yes.

0:27:54 > 0:27:56Sorry, would you like me to leave?

0:27:56 > 0:27:59I just thought Aunt Nicole could use some support.

0:27:59 > 0:28:01No, not at all. In fact it may save some time

0:28:01 > 0:28:03to have you both here together.

0:28:03 > 0:28:04Come this way.

0:28:08 > 0:28:11I understand you and your uncle had a disagreement yesterday.

0:28:14 > 0:28:18During which he was heard to say, "I know what you and Nicole are up to."

0:28:18 > 0:28:19Ring any bells?

0:28:24 > 0:28:28I was trying to persuade Uncle Roger not to marry Kim.

0:28:28 > 0:28:32She's a bloody gold digger. I know her type, and Uncle Roger...

0:28:32 > 0:28:36Well, he was getting old and easily manipulated.

0:28:36 > 0:28:40We're his family. We were just looking out for him.

0:28:40 > 0:28:42I tried to warn him, but he just thought I was after his inheritance,

0:28:42 > 0:28:45that I was afraid that he was going to leave the plantation to Kim.

0:28:45 > 0:28:49- Of course, you didn't care about the money(!)- No, I didn't. I don't!

0:28:50 > 0:28:54I just wanted him and Aunt Nicole to get back together.

0:28:54 > 0:28:56I just wanted...

0:28:57 > 0:29:00I just wanted things to go back to how they were.

0:29:02 > 0:29:06Mrs Seymour, you're the only person we can't account for

0:29:06 > 0:29:08at the time of your ex-husband's murder.

0:29:08 > 0:29:10It's important you tell us the truth.

0:29:10 > 0:29:13- She was with me.- But you arrived separately at the main house.

0:29:18 > 0:29:23I met Alex at the Harbour gym, at around 12 o'clock.

0:29:23 > 0:29:28- We had an appointment, you see, to meet someone.- Go on.

0:29:28 > 0:29:31Alex had hired a private investigator, to follow Kim,

0:29:31 > 0:29:33to dig up some dirt on her.

0:29:33 > 0:29:35Anything to stop my hu...

0:29:35 > 0:29:38Roger from making a horrendous mistake.

0:29:38 > 0:29:42I knew it wasn't a real relationship, she was just stringing him along.

0:29:42 > 0:29:45And the only person who couldn't see it was Uncle Roger.

0:29:45 > 0:29:47So you thought you'd show him exactly what kind of woman

0:29:47 > 0:29:51- you thought she was? - Yes, and we were right.

0:29:54 > 0:29:57The detective we hired brought these,

0:29:57 > 0:29:59just before we went to the house.

0:30:01 > 0:30:03She met that man in secret.

0:30:03 > 0:30:05But it was in an alley behind one of the bars.

0:30:05 > 0:30:07The detective was moving to get a clear shot of his face,

0:30:07 > 0:30:09but he disappeared before he could get it.

0:30:09 > 0:30:11On its own, it proves nothing.

0:30:11 > 0:30:13Why would she meet a man in secret if she had nothing to hide?

0:30:13 > 0:30:16I have no idea, but maybe she has a reasonable explanation.

0:30:16 > 0:30:19Oh! She'll lie, just like she always does.

0:30:19 > 0:30:21So you took these pictures with you to the house?

0:30:21 > 0:30:23- To show your uncle?- Yes.

0:30:26 > 0:30:28We didn't want Kim to suspect anything.

0:30:28 > 0:30:30We shouldn't arrive together. I'll walk up.

0:30:30 > 0:30:32I don't know if I can do this.

0:30:32 > 0:30:34It'll be fine.

0:30:34 > 0:30:38So, after collecting these photographs, you arrived at 12.30.

0:30:38 > 0:30:41But you didn't appear on the veranda until sometime later.

0:30:41 > 0:30:42Where did you go?

0:30:47 > 0:30:50I, um... I have a drinking problem.

0:30:50 > 0:30:55I'm afraid I hit rock bottom after Roger left me for Kim.

0:30:55 > 0:30:59But Alex pushed me to get sober.

0:31:01 > 0:31:02And I did.

0:31:04 > 0:31:10Mostly. But today, when I got to the plantation,

0:31:12 > 0:31:13I was shaking...

0:31:15 > 0:31:17I knew I'd have to face her and...

0:31:18 > 0:31:22I stupidly brought a bottle with me for courage.

0:31:24 > 0:31:26And then I...I lost track of time.

0:31:30 > 0:31:32Did anyone see you? In your car?

0:31:32 > 0:31:35No. I don't think so.

0:31:49 > 0:31:55So, without anyone to corroborate her story, the fact remains,

0:31:55 > 0:31:58Nicole Seymour was alone long enough to go to the mill,

0:31:58 > 0:32:01kill her ex-husband and join the others on the veranda.

0:32:01 > 0:32:04- She didn't do it.- No?

0:32:04 > 0:32:05And you know that how?

0:32:05 > 0:32:08She was still in love with him, it's obvious.

0:32:08 > 0:32:09Is it?

0:32:11 > 0:32:14We need to find out who that man in the photograph is.

0:32:14 > 0:32:18Yes. We'll go and have another chat with Kim Neville first thing.

0:32:18 > 0:32:20What do you think?

0:32:20 > 0:32:21Er, yeah, very nice.

0:32:21 > 0:32:24Do you have plans for Erzulie week, Richard?

0:32:24 > 0:32:27Yes. I intend to ignore it completely.

0:32:27 > 0:32:30- But it's the Love festival. - Really?

0:32:30 > 0:32:34Oh, that's a shame. I'm afraid it clashes with a very similar English festival.

0:32:34 > 0:32:37- Oh?- Stay Indoors And Read A Good Book Week.

0:32:37 > 0:32:40Oh. It sounds a very boring festival.

0:32:40 > 0:32:44No, not at all, in fact I have a blind date this evening.

0:32:44 > 0:32:47With history of the slave trade on Saint Marie. Good night.

0:33:34 > 0:33:35How was your date?

0:33:35 > 0:33:37Date?

0:33:37 > 0:33:39With the book?

0:33:39 > 0:33:41Oh, right. Yes. Great.

0:33:41 > 0:33:43At it all night, then again before breakfast.

0:33:43 > 0:33:45Impressive!

0:33:50 > 0:33:52- To the plantation house? - Yes, if you would,

0:33:52 > 0:33:56but first I want to visit the crime scene again, see if we've missed anything.

0:34:05 > 0:34:09- Hello! Wait! - Camille?

0:34:10 > 0:34:11Camille?

0:34:12 > 0:34:14Camille?

0:34:18 > 0:34:19What is it?

0:34:19 > 0:34:22- I could have sworn she came in here. - Who?

0:34:22 > 0:34:27The little girl, I saw her yesterday too. I don't know.

0:34:27 > 0:34:30She must be one of the plantation workers' children.

0:34:33 > 0:34:34'It's not a watch glass.

0:34:34 > 0:34:35'It's too big.

0:34:35 > 0:34:39'A torch maybe. What is that, J-O-H?

0:34:39 > 0:34:41'Why would he be using a torch in here?

0:34:42 > 0:34:44'And where is it?'

0:34:49 > 0:34:51PHONE RINGS

0:34:54 > 0:34:57- Hi, Fidel. - 'Yes, I think I have something.

0:34:57 > 0:35:00'We contacted Roger Seymour's solicitor to see if he had a will.

0:35:00 > 0:35:03'He did and it was changed only four days ago.'

0:35:03 > 0:35:06But he said now he's contacted the sole beneficiary, he's happy to discuss its contents.

0:35:06 > 0:35:09- Who is the sole beneficiary? - 'Kim Neville.'

0:35:09 > 0:35:11She gets the plantation. The house. Everything.

0:35:13 > 0:35:16I see what you are! You took advantage of him.

0:35:16 > 0:35:19He would never have let the plantation leave the family!

0:35:19 > 0:35:21- You're sick because he left you nothing.- I loved him, not his money!

0:35:21 > 0:35:24- All right! That's enough!- And he loved me!- We'll take you to court!

0:35:24 > 0:35:26- Do your worst! - You have destroyed this family!

0:35:26 > 0:35:30- I'm sorry, but I must insist... - He told you what he wanted in his will!

0:35:30 > 0:35:32I will never believe that!

0:35:32 > 0:35:33SHE WHISTLES

0:35:33 > 0:35:34Thank you!

0:35:35 > 0:35:38We'd like to speak to Miss Neville in private.

0:35:49 > 0:35:52We knew they were up to something. But this?

0:35:52 > 0:35:54Frankly, it's pathetic.

0:35:54 > 0:35:56You know who the man in the picture is?

0:35:56 > 0:35:57I have no idea.

0:35:59 > 0:36:03Do you know how many men come up to me in the street every day?

0:36:03 > 0:36:05If I were sleeping with all of them, I'd have a full schedule.

0:36:11 > 0:36:13So... So you have no idea who this man is?

0:36:13 > 0:36:15That's exactly what I'm saying.

0:36:20 > 0:36:23- Well, that went well(!) - She's lying.

0:36:23 > 0:36:26Body language. Look at the picture.

0:36:26 > 0:36:29- She knows this man. - You really don't like her, do you?

0:36:29 > 0:36:32No, I don't. But that's not clouding my judgement.

0:36:32 > 0:36:33I never said it was.

0:36:36 > 0:36:40My father left home for a woman just like that.

0:36:40 > 0:36:42My mother watched ten years disappear as he turned

0:36:42 > 0:36:45from a husband and father into a babbling schoolboy.

0:36:46 > 0:36:49- Sorry. - Don't be. That was his loss.

0:36:49 > 0:36:51But I know how manipulative a woman like that can be.

0:36:54 > 0:36:55It's the little girl again!

0:36:58 > 0:37:00Where?

0:37:06 > 0:37:11Dwayne, talk to Kim Neville's bank, see if she's got money of her own

0:37:11 > 0:37:14or if there are any transfers from Roger Seymour's account.

0:37:14 > 0:37:18- I'm on it.- If she's a gold digger, let's see if we can prove it.

0:37:18 > 0:37:20OK, Roger Seymour's will has to be our motive.

0:37:20 > 0:37:23Either the killer stood to benefit from it being changed...

0:37:23 > 0:37:24Kim Neville?

0:37:24 > 0:37:27..or he was killed by someone to try and stop him changing it.

0:37:27 > 0:37:28Alex Seymour.

0:37:28 > 0:37:31Either way we can't place either of them at the scene.

0:37:33 > 0:37:36Nicole Seymour could have had time in theory.

0:37:36 > 0:37:38But it's a bit of a stretch to see how

0:37:38 > 0:37:41she could have run to the mill, murdered her ex-husband

0:37:41 > 0:37:44and then got drunk, all in the space of 25 minutes.

0:37:44 > 0:37:48Virtually everyone else on the plantation has been ruled out too.

0:37:48 > 0:37:50Only the doctor seems to have had the opportunity.

0:37:50 > 0:37:53He's also the only one who knew he was dying.

0:37:53 > 0:37:58Yet why did the victim write part of his name in his own blood?

0:38:00 > 0:38:01Ach!

0:38:01 > 0:38:04And then there's the torch glass. Ohhh...

0:38:06 > 0:38:07Doesn't makes any sense!

0:38:07 > 0:38:10Does anyone have anything?

0:38:10 > 0:38:13OK, so I found an insurance claim from 1982.

0:38:13 > 0:38:17A worker was killed using a new machine purchased by Roger Seymour.

0:38:17 > 0:38:18So?

0:38:18 > 0:38:19Well, two things really.

0:38:19 > 0:38:21The claim was dropped for no reason I can see.

0:38:21 > 0:38:24- And the second thing? - Well, I know it's a long shot,

0:38:24 > 0:38:28but the name of the victim was Johan Peters.

0:38:28 > 0:38:29Johan.

0:38:29 > 0:38:31- J-O-H! - That's what I thought.

0:38:31 > 0:38:33There must be other records. See what you can find.

0:38:33 > 0:38:34Yes, sir.

0:38:34 > 0:38:36OK, that's a weird one.

0:38:36 > 0:38:38- What?- The bank.

0:38:38 > 0:38:40There was a standing order of 2,000 a month

0:38:40 > 0:38:42from Roger Seymour's account to Kim Neville.

0:38:42 > 0:38:43That's quite an allowance!

0:38:43 > 0:38:44Yeah, but get this.

0:38:44 > 0:38:48Every month she sent virtually the same amount over to Antigua

0:38:48 > 0:38:50until last month when it stopped.

0:38:50 > 0:38:54- Didn't she come from Antigua? - Who was she sending the money to?

0:38:54 > 0:38:58It's a business account, I'm trying to track it down now.

0:38:59 > 0:39:01A hit man! That's how she did it.

0:39:01 > 0:39:03She paid someone to do her dirty work.

0:39:03 > 0:39:07See? That's the mystery man in the picture!

0:39:13 > 0:39:14Of course!

0:39:16 > 0:39:19- What, you agree? That it was a hit man?- No, no, no, no.

0:39:19 > 0:39:20Not that, the torch!

0:39:20 > 0:39:22Please, not the torch again.

0:39:25 > 0:39:27It's the only thing that makes any sense. Come on!

0:39:27 > 0:39:28Come on!

0:39:34 > 0:39:35Where are we going?

0:39:42 > 0:39:43What are we looking for?

0:39:43 > 0:39:46- Where did you find the ribbon exactly?- Um, here!

0:39:48 > 0:39:50We can't place any of our main suspects here

0:39:50 > 0:39:53at the time of the murder, because...

0:39:53 > 0:39:56well, they could all see each other.

0:39:56 > 0:39:58Yes...

0:39:58 > 0:39:59Maybe not all the time...

0:40:01 > 0:40:05But they certainly would have seen someone walking down the track to the mill.

0:40:08 > 0:40:11But what if they didn't walk here in plain sight?

0:40:12 > 0:40:16Whoever plunged that machete into Roger Seymour's back...

0:40:16 > 0:40:21managed to get in here unseen. And then it struck me.

0:40:21 > 0:40:26What if it was the killer who was carrying the torch, not the victim?

0:40:27 > 0:40:30But why would you need a torch in broad daylight?

0:40:31 > 0:40:34A secret entrance? Or a tunnel back to the house.

0:40:34 > 0:40:36- Exactly. - HE TAPS WALLS

0:40:37 > 0:40:42It might also explain how your little girl was able to appear and disappear at will. Hm?

0:40:42 > 0:40:43Children are like rats.

0:40:48 > 0:40:50They find every nook and cranny.

0:40:50 > 0:40:54Yeah. So any one of them could have got here

0:40:54 > 0:40:55- and back to the house unseen?- Mm.

0:40:55 > 0:40:59Call Fidel. I want this trap door dusted for finger prints.

0:40:59 > 0:41:00OK.

0:41:00 > 0:41:03Right. Let's see where this tunnel leads.

0:41:03 > 0:41:06Are you sure you want to do this?

0:41:06 > 0:41:07No.

0:41:14 > 0:41:15Er, are you OK, sir?

0:41:15 > 0:41:17Yep, fine, fine. Yep.

0:41:20 > 0:41:22The existence of a tunnel alone doesn't conclusively prove

0:41:22 > 0:41:25who used it, regardless of where it runs from or to.

0:41:25 > 0:41:28Thank you. We still need hard evidence.

0:41:28 > 0:41:31Dwayne, where are Roger Seymour's possessions? The things found on him.

0:41:31 > 0:41:33Box on the evidence table, Chief.

0:41:33 > 0:41:36And we found the original files on the Johan Peters case,

0:41:36 > 0:41:38on your desk, Chief.

0:41:38 > 0:41:40Thank you.

0:41:40 > 0:41:42Oh, and, Sarge, I think I found your hit man.

0:41:42 > 0:41:45- What? - The person Kim Neville was paying.

0:41:45 > 0:41:46Meet Annie Neville.

0:41:46 > 0:41:49She worked as a housekeeper in Antigua, until she was placed

0:41:49 > 0:41:52in a first rate medical facility, after she suffered a stroke.

0:41:52 > 0:41:56A facility paid for by her daughter, Kim Neville.

0:41:56 > 0:41:58That's what Kim was using her allowance for?

0:41:58 > 0:42:01To pay for her mother's medical expenses?

0:42:01 > 0:42:02It looks like it, yes.

0:42:02 > 0:42:04Why did the payments stop?

0:42:04 > 0:42:06Because her mother died last month.

0:42:06 > 0:42:09- OK, that's sad. - Hm.

0:42:09 > 0:42:11Wait! What was the mother's name again?

0:42:11 > 0:42:13Anne Margaret Neville.

0:42:29 > 0:42:31'He would never have let the plantation leave the family!

0:42:31 > 0:42:35'You're just sick because he left you nothing!

0:42:35 > 0:42:37'Why would I kill him when he was already dying?

0:42:37 > 0:42:40'Some people thought that the Seymours were devils.

0:42:40 > 0:42:42'Uncle Roger, let me explain!

0:42:42 > 0:42:44'I know exactly what you and Nicole are up to.

0:42:44 > 0:42:48'They were all locked up for the night and the next morning they'd all vanished.'

0:42:49 > 0:42:50Call an ambulance! It's Roger!

0:42:50 > 0:42:53'The name of the victim was Johan Peters.'

0:42:56 > 0:42:57Did you find any prints?

0:42:57 > 0:42:58Yes, and good quality too.

0:42:58 > 0:43:00How long to get a match?

0:43:00 > 0:43:03From the exclusion prints taken at the plantation, about an hour.

0:43:03 > 0:43:07- If they don't match the people at the house, I'll have to send them away. - They'll match. Do it in 30 minutes!

0:43:07 > 0:43:09Yeah! That's it. Of course.

0:43:09 > 0:43:11What?

0:43:12 > 0:43:14I'd say that was hard evidence, wouldn't you?

0:43:15 > 0:43:17And look at this.

0:43:17 > 0:43:21Dwayne, I want everyone gathered at the mill straight away, please.

0:43:21 > 0:43:22Yes, Chief.

0:43:22 > 0:43:23What about me, sir?

0:43:23 > 0:43:27I need those prints, Fidel, and when you've done that,

0:43:27 > 0:43:30I've got one last job for you.

0:43:33 > 0:43:35You're going to need this.

0:43:37 > 0:43:40Thank you for all for getting here so promptly.

0:43:40 > 0:43:42I'm sorry about the short notice, but I was sure you were

0:43:42 > 0:43:46all anxious to hear the truth about the death of Roger Seymour.

0:43:46 > 0:43:49Particularly as his killer is in this mill.

0:43:52 > 0:43:57Two things bothered me after I, er, saw the body of Roger Seymour here.

0:43:57 > 0:44:01Firstly, that it would have been quite a feat for the killer

0:44:01 > 0:44:03to enter from the door here unseen.

0:44:03 > 0:44:10And secondly, we found broken glass here, very near the body.

0:44:10 > 0:44:13Glass came from a torch. But there was no torch.

0:44:13 > 0:44:15Just the glass. Why?

0:44:17 > 0:44:21First, I thought Mr Seymour must have been using the torch,

0:44:21 > 0:44:24but then I realised, what if it was the killer?

0:44:24 > 0:44:28Who then took the broken torch with him. Or her.

0:44:28 > 0:44:32But why would the killer be using a torch in broad daylight?

0:44:32 > 0:44:35And then I remembered something that I read last night.

0:44:35 > 0:44:39Very much like in prisoner of war camps during the war,

0:44:39 > 0:44:43plantation slaves were known to dig tunnels in order to escape.

0:44:43 > 0:44:48Indeed this plantation was famous for such an escape when, in 1820,

0:44:48 > 0:44:5050 slaves mysteriously disappeared in the night.

0:44:50 > 0:44:53So in solving the murder of Roger Seymour,

0:44:53 > 0:44:57we have also solved a nearly 200-year-old mystery.

0:45:04 > 0:45:07LOUDER: We've also solved a nearly 200-year-old mystery.

0:45:12 > 0:45:15The slaves escaped through a tunnel that they'd dug whilst

0:45:15 > 0:45:17working right here in the mill.

0:45:17 > 0:45:19A tunnel discovered by the Seymours

0:45:19 > 0:45:22and kept secret down through the generations.

0:45:23 > 0:45:26The existence of a tunnel now makes the killer having a torch,

0:45:26 > 0:45:28make perfect sense.

0:45:28 > 0:45:32It also explains how the killer was able to enter unseen.

0:45:32 > 0:45:34The Seymours must have discovered this tunnel.

0:45:34 > 0:45:37I believe they then used it to spy on their workers,

0:45:37 > 0:45:42earning them a reputation as demons who could appear out of nowhere.

0:45:42 > 0:45:45But returning to the story of the missing slaves.

0:45:45 > 0:45:50Legend has it, the slaves were locked into their sleeping quarters that night, disappeared by morning.

0:45:50 > 0:45:53The storage barn used to be the old slave quarters.

0:45:53 > 0:45:54Exactly.

0:45:54 > 0:45:57And you used the tunnel to murder Roger Seymour, didn't you, Louis?

0:46:04 > 0:46:07We assumed the tunnel would lead to the house.

0:46:07 > 0:46:10When in fact it led us to the old storage barn.

0:46:10 > 0:46:12And we can prove you used it.

0:46:12 > 0:46:14Louis Nelson's fingerprints were found on the secret door.

0:46:14 > 0:46:18This is ridiculous. I loved him! Why would I do that?

0:46:18 > 0:46:22Yes, I know about the tunnel, him did tell me about it,

0:46:22 > 0:46:24said it was used by his father to spy on the workers.

0:46:24 > 0:46:27But I did not kill him. Why would I?

0:46:27 > 0:46:30- Can I ask what year you were born? - 1982. What's that got to do with it?

0:46:30 > 0:46:351982. The year a 19 year-old boy died tragically whilst using

0:46:35 > 0:46:36one of Roger Seymour's machines.

0:46:36 > 0:46:38A boy called Johan Peters.

0:46:39 > 0:46:42Johan. That was what Roger Seymour was trying to write when he died,

0:46:42 > 0:46:44wasn't it?

0:46:46 > 0:46:49The people said the machine was defective, that the Seymours covered

0:46:49 > 0:46:52it up so they didn't have to pay compensation to the boy's family.

0:46:52 > 0:46:56Well, that's what people said, but Roger swore to me that wasn't true.

0:46:56 > 0:46:58Yes. In a statement to the magistrate,

0:46:58 > 0:47:00Roger Seymour claimed that Johan had fallen asleep.

0:47:00 > 0:47:03Almost certainly a lie, but no other witnesses came forward

0:47:03 > 0:47:07and the machine was removed shortly afterwards, to remove the evidence.

0:47:07 > 0:47:09What does that have to do with me?

0:47:09 > 0:47:11Johan had a fiance.

0:47:11 > 0:47:15After he died, she found out she was pregnant and, broken-hearted, she left Saint Marie.

0:47:15 > 0:47:19Her life was a difficult one. She never married.

0:47:19 > 0:47:23She simply struggled on alone as a single parent.

0:47:23 > 0:47:25That woman was your mother, wasn't she?

0:47:25 > 0:47:29Because your last name isn't really Nelson, is it, Louis?

0:47:29 > 0:47:30It's Louis Peters.

0:47:30 > 0:47:32I'd say that was hard evidence, wouldn't you?

0:47:37 > 0:47:41Johan Peters, the boy killed in the so-called accident, was your father.

0:47:41 > 0:47:43As his only son and in remembrance of your father,

0:47:43 > 0:47:45your mother gave you his surname.

0:47:47 > 0:47:50But there is one final piece of the jigsaw, isn't there?

0:47:50 > 0:47:52I understand, revenge is a dish best served cold,

0:47:52 > 0:47:56but why on earth would you work here, befriend this man,

0:47:56 > 0:47:58and then wait nearly a year to kill him?

0:47:59 > 0:48:03Because you had to wait for your sister to play her part, didn't you?

0:48:03 > 0:48:06All those years ago, when Anne Neville left this island,

0:48:06 > 0:48:07she was pregnant with twins, wasn't she?

0:48:07 > 0:48:11As a girl, you took your mother's name - Neville.

0:48:11 > 0:48:14When she became ill, old before her time and she knew she was dying,

0:48:14 > 0:48:17I believe she told you about your father, told you about the injustice.

0:48:20 > 0:48:25This isn't a photograph of Kim Neville and her secret lover.

0:48:25 > 0:48:28It's a photograph of a brother and sister conspiring to murder

0:48:28 > 0:48:31the man they held to be responsible for the death of their father

0:48:31 > 0:48:34and for destroying their mother's life.

0:48:35 > 0:48:38So you tracked down Roger Seymour, you seduced him

0:48:38 > 0:48:40and destroyed his marriage.

0:48:40 > 0:48:44You turned him against his family, convinced him they were simply after his money,

0:48:44 > 0:48:46that they would sell the plantation.

0:48:46 > 0:48:49That only you understood the legacy of the Seymour name.

0:48:49 > 0:48:52Little did he know when he signed his will over to you in preparation

0:48:52 > 0:48:56for your marriage, he was actually signing his own death warrant.

0:48:56 > 0:48:59All you needed to do now, was to kill Roger Seymour

0:48:59 > 0:49:03and make sure that neither you nor your brother Louis could possibly be suspected of his murder.

0:49:03 > 0:49:06And for that, you both needed iron-clad alibis.

0:49:09 > 0:49:11You made sure everyone noticed your presence.

0:49:18 > 0:49:23When Roger Seymour headed off to the mill, you knew this was your chance.

0:49:23 > 0:49:26The chance for you to exact your revenge.

0:49:29 > 0:49:33Making sure you weren't seen, you headed into the hidden escape tunnel...

0:49:37 > 0:49:39..emerging in the mill shortly afterwards.

0:49:41 > 0:49:43You selected your weapon

0:49:43 > 0:49:46and then revealed your true intentions to Mr Seymour.

0:50:08 > 0:50:10You told him you were Johan's son,

0:50:10 > 0:50:14taking revenge for the years of hurt caused to your family.

0:50:15 > 0:50:18You wiped the machete clean, grabbed the torch...

0:50:19 > 0:50:22..then made your way back to the old storage barn

0:50:22 > 0:50:26and carried on with your work as if nothing had happened.

0:50:26 > 0:50:28Louis, are you done with that clanging?!

0:50:28 > 0:50:31Yes, miss. Sorry, miss.

0:50:31 > 0:50:35That was your signal, wasn't it? You weren't talking about noise.

0:50:35 > 0:50:38You were asking Louis if he had killed Roger Seymour.

0:50:38 > 0:50:40Once you knew it was done, you could play your part.

0:50:43 > 0:50:45Well, we can't wait for Nicole any longer.

0:50:47 > 0:50:49He's not picking up.

0:50:49 > 0:50:51Paul, would you be a dear and go and get Roger?

0:50:51 > 0:50:53Of course.

0:50:54 > 0:50:56Well, you couldn't go yourself, could you?

0:50:56 > 0:51:00You knew if you discovered his body, you could be suspected of his murder.

0:51:00 > 0:51:02So you sent good old Dr Johnson instead.

0:51:03 > 0:51:07But you made a very simple and very damning mistake.

0:51:07 > 0:51:12Because you knew there was no way he could answer the call, you didn't even bother making it.

0:51:14 > 0:51:17- 'Look at that. - There was no missed call from you on his phone.'

0:51:24 > 0:51:26Please.

0:51:27 > 0:51:30You seduced him and ruined our marriage,

0:51:30 > 0:51:32just so you could kill him?

0:51:32 > 0:51:36I never slept with him, it was enough to make him want me.

0:51:36 > 0:51:38Seymour deserved what he got!

0:51:38 > 0:51:42He killed our father and he sent our mother to an early grave.

0:51:42 > 0:51:45So yes, we were going to take all this away from him,

0:51:45 > 0:51:48just like him did take everything from us.

0:51:48 > 0:51:49Easy, son!

0:51:51 > 0:51:53And you know what we were going to do with it?

0:51:53 > 0:51:58Burn it to the ground! He had it coming, you all did!

0:52:12 > 0:52:16Roger Seymour would have died, with or without you. He was sick.

0:52:18 > 0:52:19What?

0:52:20 > 0:52:22Doctor?

0:52:22 > 0:52:26He had a malignant brain tumour. He had months left to live.

0:52:26 > 0:52:29The announcement I believe he was due to make that lunchtime.

0:52:29 > 0:52:31If you'd only waited until after that lunch,

0:52:31 > 0:52:33you would have seen him die anyway.

0:52:33 > 0:52:38The new will isn't worth the paper it's written on and you'll both go to jail for the rest of your lives.

0:52:38 > 0:52:39Oh, Louis...

0:52:52 > 0:52:54No!

0:53:16 > 0:53:18Most days, I like my job...

0:53:20 > 0:53:22But today is not one of those days.

0:53:25 > 0:53:26No.

0:53:53 > 0:53:54So how are we getting back?

0:53:54 > 0:53:56We have the bike.

0:53:58 > 0:54:02Actually, do you know what? I... I think I might walk.

0:54:02 > 0:54:03Are you sure?

0:54:03 > 0:54:06Yeah, yeah, why not? You know, it's a lovely day.

0:54:06 > 0:54:07Well, it's seven miles.

0:54:10 > 0:54:12I'll, er, I'll be brisk.

0:54:12 > 0:54:13In the sun?

0:54:13 > 0:54:18Um, yeah, well, it's, er, it's 96 in the shade,

0:54:18 > 0:54:19it's practically a cold snap.

0:54:23 > 0:54:26I know they are killers, but...it's sad.

0:54:26 > 0:54:29I agree with you, Camille. Yes, it's sad,

0:54:29 > 0:54:32but unfortunately murder is murder.

0:54:32 > 0:54:33Quite right, Fidel.

0:54:33 > 0:54:35There may be mitigating circumstances,

0:54:35 > 0:54:38but that's not our concern. It's up to the courts now.

0:54:38 > 0:54:40Well, I need a drink.

0:54:40 > 0:54:44I need three. You coming with us, Chief?

0:54:44 > 0:54:47- Well, er... - What? You have another book to read?

0:54:47 > 0:54:49Or your lizard needs a bath?

0:54:49 > 0:54:52Actually, I was going to say, I thought you had a date.

0:54:52 > 0:54:55Oh, my god! I forgot! My mother's going to kill me.

0:54:55 > 0:54:56OK, um, goodbye.

0:54:59 > 0:55:00A date?

0:55:00 > 0:55:04Something her mother set up. Bordering on the medieval if you ask me,

0:55:04 > 0:55:08but, er, who am I to argue with the voodoo goddess of love?

0:55:08 > 0:55:10POUNDING DRUMS AND MUSIC

0:55:21 > 0:55:22SHE LAUGHS

0:55:24 > 0:55:26Oh, Michael, sorry.

0:55:32 > 0:55:33You're late.

0:55:33 > 0:55:34Five minutes.

0:55:34 > 0:55:36It still creates a bad impression.

0:55:37 > 0:55:40But you look beautiful, I'm sure he'll forgive you.

0:55:40 > 0:55:42OK, is he here?

0:55:42 > 0:55:45On the patio. Go and say hello.

0:55:47 > 0:55:49- Maman, do I really have to? - Yes!

0:56:14 > 0:56:16Camille?

0:56:16 > 0:56:20Oh! Good lord, you look stunning.

0:56:21 > 0:56:23Thank you.

0:56:23 > 0:56:29Um...this is a bit of a surprise. I, er, I wasn't expecting...

0:56:29 > 0:56:30No. Quite.

0:56:31 > 0:56:34It was your mother's idea.

0:56:34 > 0:56:38I don't know if you've noticed, but she's quite difficult to say no to.

0:56:39 > 0:56:40Yes, I have.

0:56:44 > 0:56:47Um, I think I'll have a cocktail.

0:56:47 > 0:56:48Oh, right!

0:56:48 > 0:56:51- Have you got time? - Excuse me?

0:56:51 > 0:56:54Only I thought you had a date.

0:56:54 > 0:56:56- Yes, but, er... - Are you ready, sir?

0:56:58 > 0:56:59What's going on?

0:57:00 > 0:57:04Your mother arranged for me to babysit baby Rosie for Fidel and Juliet,

0:57:04 > 0:57:07so they could go for a romantic meal together and...

0:57:07 > 0:57:09I agreed, subject to certain conditions, such as they were

0:57:09 > 0:57:13home by ten and she sleeps the whole time that I'm there.

0:57:14 > 0:57:18So basically less babysitting, more reading a book in someone's house.

0:57:18 > 0:57:21Haven't you had enough work for one day?

0:57:21 > 0:57:23It's rude to keep your date waiting.

0:57:27 > 0:57:30Well, er, we'd better be going. I, um, hope you...

0:57:31 > 0:57:33..you know, have a nice time.

0:57:33 > 0:57:34Yes...

0:57:34 > 0:57:36See you tomorrow?

0:57:36 > 0:57:38See you.

0:57:38 > 0:57:40I've said a prayer to Erzulie for you.

0:58:04 > 0:58:07Therese? Therese!

0:58:07 > 0:58:08Who would want to murder a nun?

0:58:08 > 0:58:11Anyone who'd seen The Sound Of Music more than once?

0:58:11 > 0:58:13I know you're going to say they're brides of Christ.

0:58:13 > 0:58:16But some of them are bad through and through. They are evil!

0:58:16 > 0:58:17Sir!

0:58:18 > 0:58:21A teenage girl who knew too much?

0:58:21 > 0:58:24We have a witness who says she was scared when she saw you.

0:58:24 > 0:58:26Then your witness is mistaken.

0:58:26 > 0:58:27Women don't make me nervous.
