Where are you going?

0:00:270:00:29

I'll be at the mill.

0:00:290:00:31

It's 12, people will be here for lunch soon. Look, here's the doctor.

0:00:310:00:36

He's early. I won't be long.

0:00:360:00:39

Go, hurry.

0:00:400:00:41

-Doctor.

-Mr Seymour.

0:00:500:00:52

The storage barn needed a good clear-out.

0:00:590:01:02

-Why don't you, er, come to lunch with us?

-I don't know, sir.

0:01:020:01:05

-Miss Kim?

-Doctor?

0:01:060:01:08

No, no. No excuses.

0:01:080:01:10

12:30, prompt.

0:01:100:01:13

Why has he summoned everyone?

0:01:150:01:17

He said he has an announcement to make.

0:01:170:01:21

We shouldn't arrive together. It's 12:30 now.

0:01:370:01:40

-I'll walk up, wait five minutes.

-I don't know if I can do this.

0:01:400:01:45

It'll be fine.

0:01:450:01:46

Dear God, Louis, are you done with that clanging?!

0:02:230:02:26

Yes, miss. Sorry, miss.

0:02:260:02:28

Well, we can't wait for Nicole any longer.

0:02:290:02:32

Where is she, anyway? It's ten to one.

0:02:320:02:35

He's not picking up.

0:02:370:02:40

Paul, would you be a dear and go and get Roger? He'll be in the mill.

0:02:400:02:43

-Of course.

-Thank you.

0:02:430:02:45

At last!

0:02:510:02:52

Mrs Seymour.

0:02:530:02:55

Oh! Nice of you to join us, Nicole.

0:03:050:03:08

And I see you're off the wagon again, how very you.

0:03:100:03:13

Drop dead, bitch.

0:03:150:03:17

Someone! Call an ambulance! It's Roger!

0:03:170:03:20

Ambulance, please. The Seymour Plantation.

0:03:240:03:28

It's tradition.

0:04:180:04:19

-Mama, do we really need to do this?

-But we've never missed a year.

0:04:200:04:24

-Yeah, then maybe it's a good time to start!

-But they weren't all bad.

-No?

0:04:240:04:29

CAR HORN TOOTS

0:04:290:04:30

Oh, I have to go.

0:04:320:04:33

Tomorrow night, seven o'clock. Don't be late.

0:04:360:04:38

If I strangled my mother do you think you'd catch me?

0:04:440:04:47

Almost certainly.

0:04:470:04:48

She thinks I'm still 16.

0:04:520:04:54

Mothers can be a real hazard. Particularly yours.

0:04:540:04:57

-What is it this time?

-Erzulie celebrations.

0:04:590:05:01

Oh, right. Well, that explains it(!)

0:05:010:05:03

Erzulie is the voodoo goddess of love.

0:05:030:05:06

And every year my mother uses it as an excuse to try and find me a man.

0:05:060:05:10

She's just told me I've got a blind date tomorrow evening.

0:05:100:05:13

-Well, I hope it's not with a man called Roger Seymour.

-Why?

0:05:130:05:16

I think the conversation may be a little bit stilted.

0:05:160:05:19

Chief, Sarge.

0:05:320:05:34

Roger Seymour, 71 years old.

0:05:370:05:39

-Found by his family doctor, around 1pm.

-Doctor?

0:05:390:05:42

Yes, he was at the house for lunch.

0:05:420:05:43

The rest of the family are there waiting for you now.

0:05:430:05:47

Well, there's no mystery about cause of death.

0:05:470:05:49

Yes, and it looks like the handle has been wiped

0:05:490:05:51

clean of fingerprints.

0:05:510:05:53

Chief.

0:05:540:05:55

-At least we know where it came from.

-Opportunistic, do you think?

0:05:570:06:00

Or did the killer know there was a weapon there?

0:06:000:06:02

Someone who knows the plantation well?

0:06:020:06:04

-Sorry, Fidel?

-Sir?

0:06:070:06:09

You seen this?

0:06:090:06:10

What is that? Clean, freshly broken.

0:06:130:06:16

It's not watch glass, it's too big.

0:06:160:06:18

-A torch, maybe?

-Could be.

0:06:180:06:20

Why would he be using a torch in here? And where is it?

0:06:220:06:26

-Is this a working mill?

-Hasn't been used since the '80s.

0:06:260:06:29

These days, all the sugar cane goes to a new mill on the other side of the island.

0:06:290:06:32

The Seymours have had a set-up here for 300 years.

0:06:320:06:36

-You seem to know a lot about it.

-I had family who used to work here.

0:06:360:06:39

-My grandfather used to tell me stories.

-Stories about what?

0:06:390:06:42

Hard times, mostly.

0:06:440:06:45

They didn't treat their workers very well.

0:06:450:06:47

It was a hangover from when they used slaves.

0:06:470:06:50

Time moved on they didn't.

0:06:500:06:53

Some people thought that the Seymours were devils, you know?

0:06:530:06:56

That they could appear out of thin air to catch you

0:06:560:06:58

if you wasn't working hard enough.

0:06:580:07:00

-Demonic time and motion? Interesting concept.

-Wait!

0:07:000:07:03

The Seymour Plantation? This is where the 50 slaves disappeared.

0:07:030:07:07

-1820.

-Disappeared?

-Yes, I've heard about this.

0:07:070:07:11

Every slave on the plantation. They were locked up for the night

0:07:110:07:13

and, the next morning, they'd all vanished.

0:07:130:07:16

Never to be seen again.

0:07:160:07:17

You know, even if they turned out the lights and closed the door,

0:07:220:07:25

the killer still wouldn't have needed it.

0:07:250:07:27

-Excuse me?

-The torch.

0:07:270:07:30

-It's so bright in there.

-Oh.

0:07:300:07:32

Still, as you say, means of death should be pretty straightforward.

0:07:340:07:38

A machete sticking straight out of his back

0:07:380:07:40

should point them in the right direction.

0:07:400:07:43

The victim was very rich, by all accounts,

0:07:430:07:45

so let's concentrate on who benefits most from his death.

0:07:450:07:48

-It's quite a physical murder, though.

-Go on.

0:07:480:07:50

Well, I imagine it's difficult to plunge a machete into someone's back.

0:07:500:07:54

It must take passion or anger.

0:07:540:07:57

So, perhaps this wasn't about money?

0:07:570:08:01

Perhaps he wasn't too popular with his workers?

0:08:010:08:05

Right! Well, time to talk to the family, I think.

0:08:050:08:08

-Coming?

-Yes. The main house is up there.

0:08:100:08:14

Very impressive.

0:08:320:08:34

Hello, I'm Dr Johnson. It was me who called you.

0:08:340:08:36

Detective Inspector Richard Poole, Detective Sergeant Camille Bordey.

0:08:360:08:41

-Hi. I understand, you found Mr Seymour's body?

-Yes.

0:08:410:08:44

You were here to have lunch? Yes, we all were.

0:08:440:08:47

-Roger said he had an announcement to make.

-Do you know what about?

-No.

0:08:470:08:51

-And he went to the mill before lunch?

-Yes.

0:08:510:08:54

The mill was something of a passion of his.

0:08:540:08:56

He was planning to restore it,

0:08:560:08:58

wanted to open it to the public as a museum.

0:08:580:09:00

And Mr Seymour was with you here at the house, until what time?

0:09:000:09:03

-Around noon.

-And when he left to go to the mill, you stayed here?

-Yes.

0:09:030:09:08

But everyone was already here, so Kim asked me to go and get him.

0:09:080:09:13

And that's when I found him.

0:09:130:09:16

-Kim?

-Kim Neville. Roger's... young lady.

0:09:160:09:20

-And the others?

-That's Alex, Roger's nephew.

0:09:220:09:26

That's Louis, he works here.

0:09:270:09:29

Roger took something of a shine to him, treated him like a son.

0:09:290:09:33

-And that's Nicole, Roger's ex-wife.

-Ex-wife? But, er...

0:09:330:09:38

Yes, I can see how that might seem strange to other people,

0:09:380:09:41

ex-wife and a new partner at the same lunch.

0:09:410:09:43

But it was all very amicable.

0:09:430:09:46

For heaven's sake, have you no shame?!

0:09:460:09:48

Oh! You can talk!

0:09:480:09:50

-Yes.

-So I see.

0:09:540:09:55

Can you tell me what time you discovered Mr Seymour's body?

0:09:550:09:58

Yes. It was 12:53.

0:09:580:10:01

I'm a doctor, it's a force of habit.

0:10:010:10:04

So between noon, when he left to go to the mill, and 12:53,

0:10:040:10:06

when you discovered his body, everyone was still at the house?

0:10:060:10:10

Oh, yes. Absolutely.

0:10:100:10:12

Boy, this place gives me the creeps.

0:10:290:10:32

Yes, of course, there's a lot of history in here.

0:10:320:10:34

Yes, but the wrong kind of history.

0:10:340:10:36

-Bad things happened here, Fidel, I'm telling you.

-Yes, I know.

0:10:360:10:40

Come on, let's go.

0:10:400:10:42

I've got important phone calls to make before the chief gets back.

0:10:420:10:45

-Who to?

-It's Erzulie week. I've got to spread some loving around!

0:10:450:10:49

OK, now you see, I thought you were actually talking about work.

0:10:490:10:52

It is work. I have to devise a system for the week

0:10:520:10:55

or they could all start bumping into each other.

0:10:550:10:57

-You know something, Dwayne?

-What?

0:10:570:10:59

-You could just stick with one.

-One?

0:10:590:11:02

I'm a lot of things, Fidel, but I'm not selfish.

0:11:020:11:04

Hold on, hold on. Wait a minute, wait.

0:11:100:11:12

Oh, what now?

0:11:120:11:13

His index finger, look.

0:11:150:11:17

There's blood on it.

0:11:180:11:21

-So?

-How you mean, "so"?

0:11:210:11:23

Fidel, the man has a machete in his back. There's blood everywhere.

0:11:230:11:27

Yes, yes, but not on his hands, Dwayne. Look.

0:11:270:11:31

Just on the tip of the finger.

0:11:320:11:34

I'm sorry for your loss.

0:11:380:11:40

Thank you.

0:11:470:11:48

Of course. Can I ask how long you and Mr Seymour have been together?

0:11:480:11:54

Almost a year. We became close when I helped him through his divorce.

0:11:540:11:58

Actually, Uncle Roger left Aunt Nicole for her.

0:11:580:12:01

Well, their marriage was on the rocks. He confided in me.

0:12:030:12:07

-I'm sure he did.

-I know what you're thinking.

-Do you?

0:12:070:12:12

A woman dating a rich man twice her age. But it wasn't like that.

0:12:120:12:16

I loved Roger. He was the only man who saw the person inside.

0:12:180:12:24

-He respected me.

-Where were you between noon and 1pm?

0:12:250:12:30

-I was here, on the veranda.

-Outside?

0:12:300:12:33

I may have gone in the house for a moment, I'm not sure.

0:12:330:12:36

But, I was here with everyone else.

0:12:360:12:39

I hope you're not suggesting...

0:12:390:12:42

It's just procedure.

0:12:420:12:43

Between the time that Roger left and when Dr Johnson discovered his body,

0:12:430:12:47

-you were all here together?

-Yes.

0:12:470:12:50

I wasn't at the house, sir. I was cleaning the storage barn, there.

0:12:500:12:53

But I was outside and I could still see everybody.

0:12:530:12:57

Wait. Alex wasn't here. He was late.

0:12:570:13:00

He didn't arrive until 12:30 and Nicole was even later.

0:13:000:13:03

I was at the Harbour gym, got held up a bit. I don't know about Nicole.

0:13:030:13:08

-Yes, where is the ex-Mrs Seymour?

-I took her upstairs.

0:13:080:13:11

She was a little emotional.

0:13:110:13:13

Emotional as a newt.

0:13:130:13:15

-Her husband has just been found dead!

-EX-husband.

0:13:150:13:18

Right, well, I think we had better leave you alone to grieve.

0:13:200:13:27

Actually, one last question.

0:13:280:13:30

We understand that Mr Seymour was going to make an announcement, does anyone know what that was?

0:13:300:13:34

-He was going to announce our engagement.

-What?!

0:13:350:13:38

We'd talked about it. What else could it be?

0:13:380:13:40

-He'd never marry you.

-We were together, Alex.

0:13:400:13:42

He loved me, whether you like it or not.

0:13:420:13:44

And I know, Roger, it's Erzulie week, he would have thought it perfect.

0:13:440:13:49

Erzulie is the voodoo goddess of love.

0:13:490:13:50

-Yes, so I understand.

-Sir?

0:13:500:13:53

Ah, right. Well, we may need to speak to you all again later.

0:13:550:13:58

Including Mrs Seymour, when she's, you know, fully rested.

0:13:580:14:03

Inspector?

0:14:080:14:09

It's about Nicole.

0:14:120:14:14

Kim would like you to think badly of her, but she is a good person.

0:14:140:14:18

-We're sure she is.

-Yeah, you and your aunt are close, I take it?

0:14:180:14:21

Yes, well, when I was 11 I lost my parents.

0:14:210:14:24

And Uncle Roger and Aunt Nicole took me in.

0:14:240:14:27

They brought me up, we were a family.

0:14:280:14:31

Well, until she came along.

0:14:310:14:34

And I can tell you

0:14:340:14:36

that, Erzulie or not,

0:14:360:14:38

there is no way that Uncle Roger would have married her.

0:14:380:14:41

Don't worry. We'll talk to your aunt when she's feeling stronger

0:14:410:14:44

and we'll make up our own minds. All right?

0:14:440:14:47

Sir, there's something you need to see.

0:14:500:14:53

What was so important that you had to tell them, Alex?

0:14:570:15:01

Was it that you've been trying to get your grubby hands on his money?

0:15:010:15:05

You think he tried to write something in his own blood?

0:15:250:15:27

I can't think of another reason for there to be blood

0:15:270:15:29

on just the tip of one finger like that.

0:15:290:15:31

And there's something else. I could be wrong, but a line?

0:15:310:15:35

-Was any of the area cleaned?

-No, no, I secured the scene when I got here.

0:15:370:15:41

But the killer could have wiped it clean?

0:15:410:15:43

Or he simply didn't have sufficient blood on his finger to make an impression.

0:15:430:15:47

His right arm was outstretched, away from the main area of blood.

0:15:470:15:49

Like this.

0:15:490:15:51

-Got any Luminal?

-Yes, sir.

0:15:510:15:53

Fidel, what's Liminal?

0:15:540:15:57

Luminal, it fixes on the iron cells in the blood,

0:15:570:16:00

it makes them fluorescent under black light.

0:16:000:16:02

-Thanks.

-So, if he did write something with that finger...

0:16:020:16:05

We should be able to see exactly what it was.

0:16:060:16:09

What is that? J-O-H?

0:16:230:16:24

-Yes, it looks like it.

-Dr Johnson?

0:16:240:16:26

Let's see if Roger Seymour had a will.

0:16:460:16:47

And do a background check on the girlfriend.

0:16:470:16:49

Yes, check on the girlfriend.

0:16:490:16:51

Let's do a check on the business as well,

0:16:510:16:53

see what sort of shape it was in.

0:16:530:16:54

You know, whether there were any disgruntled employees,

0:16:540:16:57

-that sort of thing.

-Chief!

0:16:570:16:59

The doctor's not up at the house.

0:16:590:17:01

Miss Neville said he left just after you did.

0:17:010:17:03

-Better go keep track on him.

-All right.

-And let's talk to the workers.

0:17:030:17:06

-Bonjour.

-Bonjour.

-Je suis Detective Camille Bordey.

0:17:120:17:15

You OK?

0:17:290:17:31

The police have gone.

0:17:380:17:39

What did you tell them?

0:17:410:17:44

Nothing.

0:17:440:17:46

SHE SOBS

0:17:490:17:50

I messed up!

0:17:500:17:53

I'm so sorry!

0:17:530:17:55

Everything will work out all right.

0:18:010:18:04

I promise.

0:18:040:18:06

Are you OK? It's Louis, isn't it?

0:18:330:18:37

That's right.

0:18:370:18:38

Dr Johnson told us that Mr Seymour and you were very close.

0:18:380:18:42

He was a good man. He wasn't like most people I work for.

0:18:420:18:46

He did take the time to get to know me, said he saw something in me.

0:18:460:18:51

-Have you been here long?

-About 18 months.

0:18:510:18:53

I was doing some travelling, ran out of money, came to ask for work.

0:18:530:18:58

Some of the workers have been saying that Mr Seymour was very strict.

0:18:580:19:02

He was tough, yeah. You have to be, to run a plantation.

0:19:020:19:06

But he was fair. This morning he said everyone can take time off

0:19:060:19:10

at the weekend for the Erzulie celebrations.

0:19:100:19:12

So you can't think of anyone who might want to hurt him?

0:19:120:19:16

No. No-one.

0:19:160:19:19

When it happened, you were here, clearing out the storeroom?

0:19:220:19:25

-Yes, in fact he passed me on the way to the mill.

-Did he say anything?

0:19:250:19:30

He invited me for lunch.

0:19:300:19:31

And all that time, before they found him,

0:19:350:19:38

-you didn't see anyone leave the main house?

-No.

0:19:380:19:41

Well, Alex came later, then Mrs Seymour.

0:19:430:19:46

But after that everybody was on the veranda the whole time.

0:19:460:19:49

OK. Thank you.

0:19:510:19:53

Oh there was a little girl here earlier, about ten?

0:19:560:19:59

Very pretty. Had red ribbons in her hair. Do you know her?

0:19:590:20:03

No, I don't think so. Must be one of the workers' children.

0:20:030:20:07

Anything?

0:20:130:20:15

Same as before, he was a rotten boss and everyone hated him.

0:20:150:20:18

-Not everyone.

-Ah?

0:20:180:20:20

Well, you have to take these things with a pinch of salt, don't you?

0:20:200:20:24

-People are always complaining about their boss. Usually without good cause.

-Is that so?

0:20:240:20:28

-Yeah, I bet you even complain about me when I'm not here.

-Never!

0:20:280:20:31

So, if Roger Seymour doesn't have any children,

0:20:410:20:43

who inherits the plantation, I wonder?

0:20:430:20:45

His nephew?

0:20:450:20:47

And, as he can't account for his whereabouts between 12 and 12.30pm,

0:20:470:20:50

when he arrived at the house, he has to be a suspect.

0:20:500:20:53

-He said he was at the harbour gym.

-Let's check it.

0:20:530:20:55

-I also want to speak to the ex-wife, as soon as she sobers up.

-Chief?

0:20:550:20:58

Dr Johnson is back at his surgery, you want me to go and pick him up?

0:20:580:21:01

No, call and tell him we're on our way

0:21:010:21:03

and not to move till we get there. Anything on the girlfriend?

0:21:030:21:06

Her immigration files say she came to Sainte-Marie from Antigua

0:21:060:21:10

just over a year ago, nothing showing since then.

0:21:100:21:12

-Yes, Dr Johnson please.

-And the plantation?

0:21:120:21:15

Last year's accounts on your desk, but they look pretty healthy.

0:21:150:21:18

All right, thank you. What about the murder weapon?

0:21:180:21:21

Ah, yes, I was right. The weapon had been wiped clean, no prints.

0:21:210:21:26

Right, come on, let's start placing people.

0:21:260:21:28

Not many of the workers at the plantation had a good word to say

0:21:280:21:31

about Roger Seymour, so let's start cross checking their statements,

0:21:310:21:34

ascertaining their exact whereabouts between noon and 1pm.

0:21:340:21:37

-See if we can place any of them near the sugar mill.

-Yes, sir.

0:21:370:21:39

Thank you. Chief, Dr Johnson will see you at his surgery.

0:21:390:21:42

It's not far, we can walk.

0:21:420:21:44

-This voodoo goddess of love seems very popular?

-Yes, she is.

0:21:530:21:56

Particularly with your mother, trying to marry you off?

0:21:560:21:59

Yeah, she thinks my biological clock is ticking.

0:21:590:22:02

That if I don't find a husband soon, she'll never be a grandmother.

0:22:020:22:05

-Yes, in England we call it, being left on the shelf.

-Really?

0:22:050:22:09

Yeah, you know, the last one in the shop no-one wanted.

0:22:090:22:11

A doll with a broken arm perhaps or a wonky eye,

0:22:110:22:13

something about it not quite right.

0:22:130:22:16

Yeah, OK! I get the picture. Thank you.

0:22:160:22:18

-So, these blind dates she arranges for you?

-They're always a disaster.

0:22:190:22:23

-Why?

-Have you ever been on a blind date?

0:22:230:22:26

Strangely enough, no. I've never really understood the concept.

0:22:260:22:30

A bit like blindly ordering the house red

0:22:300:22:32

rather than consulting the wine list.

0:22:320:22:34

It's a recipe for disappointment.

0:22:340:22:36

Er, are you saying I'm a house red?

0:22:360:22:39

Certainly not, no you're more of a mature Rioja.

0:22:390:22:41

-So I'm old?

-I didn't say that.

-You said I was mature!

0:22:420:22:45

-That I was left on the shelf.

-Yes, but...

0:22:450:22:47

-With a broken leg and a wonky eye!

-Why do women always do that?

0:22:470:22:50

-Do what?

-Twist things, to make you sound bad?

-I'm not twisting.

0:22:500:22:53

-I'm just repeating what you said.

-But out of context.

0:22:530:22:55

Which, quite frankly, Camille, is something you do rather a lot.

0:22:550:22:58

-So you insult me and I'm the bad guy now?

-I didn't insult you.

0:22:580:23:01

-It sounded like it!

-Only in your head.

0:23:010:23:03

-Now, where's this surgery?

-There!

0:23:030:23:05

L'amour!

0:23:110:23:13

I was worried about you.

0:23:150:23:16

I doubt that.

0:23:190:23:20

I thought perhaps you might feel happier at home.

0:23:210:23:24

This was my home...

0:23:260:23:30

for 27 years.

0:23:300:23:33

And now it's mine.

0:23:340:23:35

Don't worry about making the bed, I'll have one of the staff do it.

0:23:370:23:40

-I know what you've been up to.

-Really?

-We have proof.

0:23:400:23:44

What kind of proof?

0:23:440:23:46

Wouldn't you like to know?

0:23:470:23:49

You're just a sad old drunk, Nicole.

0:23:520:23:55

Do you really think anyone wants to listen

0:23:550:23:57

to anything you've got to say?

0:23:570:23:59

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.

0:24:060:24:08

Well, it's not difficult, Doctor. Just before Mr Seymour died,

0:24:080:24:11

it looks like he wrote the letters J-O-H on the floor, in his own blood.

0:24:110:24:15

-The first three letters of your name.

-And you think I killed him?

0:24:150:24:19

Well, I think the victim scrawling your name in his own blood

0:24:190:24:23

makes you a suspect at the very least.

0:24:230:24:25

But why would I want to kill him?

0:24:250:24:27

Hmm, I thought you might tell us that.

0:24:270:24:29

No, I mean why would I kill him, when he was already dying?

0:24:290:24:33

Sorry, what?

0:24:340:24:36

He'd been blacking out, suffering from headaches

0:24:390:24:42

and so we ran some tests, they only came back yesterday morning.

0:24:420:24:46

He had a brain tumour. Inoperable.

0:24:460:24:49

He had months left to live, six at the most.

0:24:510:24:53

-Who else knew this?

-No-one.

0:24:550:24:57

You have to admit that knowing someone is dying anyway

0:25:010:25:04

makes it less likely you'd murder them.

0:25:040:25:06

You think that's what this mysterious announcement was?

0:25:060:25:08

"Welcome to lunch, oh, by the way I'm dying"?

0:25:080:25:11

Could be.

0:25:110:25:12

Sir, I've done a quick cross-reference

0:25:120:25:15

of the plantation workers' statements.

0:25:150:25:18

Now, they were all together at lunch

0:25:180:25:19

the time of the murder, so I can't see

0:25:190:25:21

how any of them could have gotten into the mill without being seen.

0:25:210:25:24

One of them did say Mr Seymour was arguing with his nephew yesterday.

0:25:240:25:27

Oh? What did he say?

0:25:270:25:29

Uncle Roger, let me explain!

0:25:320:25:33

I know exactly what you and Nicole are up to.

0:25:330:25:36

And you're sure that's exactly what he said?

0:25:390:25:41

"I know what you and Nicole are up to."

0:25:410:25:43

That's what the statement says, sir.

0:25:430:25:45

-And the nephew was very keen to defend Mrs Seymour today.

-Hmm.

0:25:450:25:48

So, where are we?

0:25:510:25:52

Kim Neville has an alibi for the entire time,

0:25:520:25:56

from when Roger Seymour left the house to when he was murdered.

0:25:560:25:59

And you don't kill the goose with the golden eggs.

0:25:590:26:01

So, as good a suspect as she would normally be,

0:26:010:26:04

we have to say she did not murder Roger Seymour.

0:26:040:26:08

Then we've got Louis Nelson.

0:26:080:26:11

He was working outside, so if he'd left and come back,

0:26:110:26:14

someone would've seen him.

0:26:140:26:15

Yeah, and he has no motive. The man worshipped Roger Seymour

0:26:150:26:18

and he didn't stand to gain anything from his death.

0:26:180:26:22

And this Dr Johnson. He was at the main house, too.

0:26:220:26:26

But he could have killed him and just pretended to find the body.

0:26:260:26:29

-But why would he if he knew the victim was dying already?

-What?

0:26:290:26:34

-He had a brain tumour.

-But the victim wrote his name, sir.

0:26:340:26:38

The truth is, it's only three letters, isn't it?

0:26:380:26:40

We can't even be sure it's a name, let alone Johnson.

0:26:400:26:43

And then why was the victim carrying a torch?

0:26:450:26:49

OK, as far as I can see, the only people

0:26:500:26:54

who could have gone to the mill unseen are Nicole Seymour and...

0:26:540:26:58

Alex Seymour.

0:26:590:27:01

He said he was late because he was held up at the gym.

0:27:010:27:03

I checked, he signed out at 12:05.

0:27:030:27:05

Well, it's very tight but just about possible for him

0:27:070:27:11

to get from the harbour to the sugar mill, murder his uncle,

0:27:110:27:15

and get back to the house for 12:30.

0:27:150:27:18

Yes. Yet Nicole Seymour had plenty of time, didn't she?

0:27:190:27:24

She didn't arrive at the main house until ten to one.

0:27:240:27:27

And she's the only one we haven't interviewed yet.

0:27:270:27:29

Nicole Seymour?

0:27:470:27:48

-Detective Inspector Richard Poole.

-It's the, er...

-Police, yes.

0:27:500:27:54

Sorry, would you like me to leave?

0:27:540:27:56

I just thought Aunt Nicole could use some support.

0:27:560:27:59

No, not at all. In fact it may save some time

0:27:590:28:01

to have you both here together.

0:28:010:28:03

Come this way.

0:28:030:28:04

I understand you and your uncle had a disagreement yesterday.

0:28:080:28:11

During which he was heard to say, "I know what you and Nicole are up to."

0:28:140:28:18

Ring any bells?

0:28:180:28:19

I was trying to persuade Uncle Roger not to marry Kim.

0:28:240:28:28

She's a bloody gold digger. I know her type, and Uncle Roger...

0:28:280:28:32

Well, he was getting old and easily manipulated.

0:28:320:28:36

We're his family. We were just looking out for him.

0:28:360:28:40

I tried to warn him, but he just thought I was after his inheritance,

0:28:400:28:42

that I was afraid that he was going to leave the plantation to Kim.

0:28:420:28:45

-Of course, you didn't care about the money(!)

-No, I didn't. I don't!

0:28:450:28:49

I just wanted him and Aunt Nicole to get back together.

0:28:500:28:54

I just wanted...

0:28:540:28:56

I just wanted things to go back to how they were.

0:28:570:29:00

Mrs Seymour, you're the only person we can't account for

0:29:020:29:06

at the time of your ex-husband's murder.

0:29:060:29:08

It's important you tell us the truth.

0:29:080:29:10

-She was with me.

-But you arrived separately at the main house.

0:29:100:29:13

I met Alex at the Harbour gym, at around 12 o'clock.

0:29:180:29:23

-We had an appointment, you see, to meet someone.

-Go on.

0:29:230:29:28

Alex had hired a private investigator, to follow Kim,

0:29:280:29:31

to dig up some dirt on her.

0:29:310:29:33

Anything to stop my hu...

0:29:330:29:35

Roger from making a horrendous mistake.

0:29:350:29:38

I knew it wasn't a real relationship, she was just stringing him along.

0:29:380:29:42

And the only person who couldn't see it was Uncle Roger.

0:29:420:29:45

So you thought you'd show him exactly what kind of woman

0:29:450:29:47

-you thought she was?

-Yes, and we were right.

0:29:470:29:51

The detective we hired brought these,

0:29:540:29:57

just before we went to the house.

0:29:570:29:59

She met that man in secret.

0:30:010:30:03

But it was in an alley behind one of the bars.

0:30:030:30:05

The detective was moving to get a clear shot of his face,

0:30:050:30:07

but he disappeared before he could get it.

0:30:070:30:09

On its own, it proves nothing.

0:30:090:30:11

Why would she meet a man in secret if she had nothing to hide?

0:30:110:30:13

I have no idea, but maybe she has a reasonable explanation.

0:30:130:30:16

Oh! She'll lie, just like she always does.

0:30:160:30:19

So you took these pictures with you to the house?

0:30:190:30:21

-To show your uncle?

-Yes.

0:30:210:30:23

We didn't want Kim to suspect anything.

0:30:260:30:28

We shouldn't arrive together. I'll walk up.

0:30:280:30:30

I don't know if I can do this.

0:30:300:30:32

It'll be fine.

0:30:320:30:34

So, after collecting these photographs, you arrived at 12.30.

0:30:340:30:38

But you didn't appear on the veranda until sometime later.

0:30:380:30:41

Where did you go?

0:30:410:30:42

I, um... I have a drinking problem.

0:30:470:30:50

I'm afraid I hit rock bottom after Roger left me for Kim.

0:30:500:30:55

But Alex pushed me to get sober.

0:30:550:30:59

And I did.

0:31:010:31:02

Mostly. But today, when I got to the plantation,

0:31:040:31:10

I was shaking...

0:31:120:31:13

I knew I'd have to face her and...

0:31:150:31:17

I stupidly brought a bottle with me for courage.

0:31:180:31:22

And then I...I lost track of time.

0:31:240:31:26

Did anyone see you? In your car?

0:31:300:31:32

No. I don't think so.

0:31:320:31:35

So, without anyone to corroborate her story, the fact remains,

0:31:490:31:55

Nicole Seymour was alone long enough to go to the mill,

0:31:550:31:58

kill her ex-husband and join the others on the veranda.

0:31:580:32:01

-She didn't do it.

-No?

0:32:010:32:04

And you know that how?

0:32:040:32:05

She was still in love with him, it's obvious.

0:32:050:32:08

Is it?

0:32:080:32:09

We need to find out who that man in the photograph is.

0:32:110:32:14

Yes. We'll go and have another chat with Kim Neville first thing.

0:32:140:32:18

What do you think?

0:32:180:32:20

Er, yeah, very nice.

0:32:200:32:21

Do you have plans for Erzulie week, Richard?

0:32:210:32:24

Yes. I intend to ignore it completely.

0:32:240:32:27

-But it's the Love festival.

-Really?

0:32:270:32:30

Oh, that's a shame. I'm afraid it clashes with a very similar English festival.

0:32:300:32:34

-Oh?

-Stay Indoors And Read A Good Book Week.

0:32:340:32:37

Oh. It sounds a very boring festival.

0:32:370:32:40

No, not at all, in fact I have a blind date this evening.

0:32:400:32:44

With history of the slave trade on Saint Marie. Good night.

0:32:440:32:47

How was your date?

0:33:340:33:35

Date?

0:33:350:33:37

With the book?

0:33:370:33:39

Oh, right. Yes. Great.

0:33:390:33:41

At it all night, then again before breakfast.

0:33:410:33:43

Impressive!

0:33:430:33:45

-To the plantation house?

-Yes, if you would,

0:33:500:33:52

but first I want to visit the crime scene again, see if we've missed anything.

0:33:520:33:56

-Hello! Wait!

-Camille?

0:34:050:34:09

Camille?

0:34:100:34:11

Camille?

0:34:120:34:14

What is it?

0:34:180:34:19

-I could have sworn she came in here.

-Who?

0:34:190:34:22

The little girl, I saw her yesterday too. I don't know.

0:34:220:34:27

She must be one of the plantation workers' children.

0:34:270:34:30

'It's not a watch glass.

0:34:330:34:34

'It's too big.

0:34:340:34:35

'A torch maybe. What is that, J-O-H?

0:34:350:34:39

'Why would he be using a torch in here?

0:34:390:34:41

'And where is it?'

0:34:420:34:44

PHONE RINGS

0:34:490:34:51

-Hi, Fidel.

-'Yes, I think I have something.

0:34:540:34:57

'We contacted Roger Seymour's solicitor to see if he had a will.

0:34:570:35:00

'He did and it was changed only four days ago.'

0:35:000:35:03

But he said now he's contacted the sole beneficiary, he's happy to discuss its contents.

0:35:030:35:06

-Who is the sole beneficiary?

-'Kim Neville.'

0:35:060:35:09

She gets the plantation. The house. Everything.

0:35:090:35:11

I see what you are! You took advantage of him.

0:35:130:35:16

He would never have let the plantation leave the family!

0:35:160:35:19

-You're sick because he left you nothing.

-I loved him, not his money!

0:35:190:35:21

-All right! That's enough!

-And he loved me!

-We'll take you to court!

0:35:210:35:24

-Do your worst!

-You have destroyed this family!

0:35:240:35:26

-I'm sorry, but I must insist...

-He told you what he wanted in his will!

0:35:260:35:30

I will never believe that!

0:35:300:35:32

SHE WHISTLES

0:35:320:35:33

Thank you!

0:35:330:35:34

We'd like to speak to Miss Neville in private.

0:35:350:35:38

We knew they were up to something. But this?

0:35:490:35:52

Frankly, it's pathetic.

0:35:520:35:54

You know who the man in the picture is?

0:35:540:35:56

I have no idea.

0:35:560:35:57

Do you know how many men come up to me in the street every day?

0:35:590:36:03

If I were sleeping with all of them, I'd have a full schedule.

0:36:030:36:05

So... So you have no idea who this man is?

0:36:110:36:13

That's exactly what I'm saying.

0:36:130:36:15

-Well, that went well(!)

-She's lying.

0:36:200:36:23

Body language. Look at the picture.

0:36:230:36:26

-She knows this man.

-You really don't like her, do you?

0:36:260:36:29

No, I don't. But that's not clouding my judgement.

0:36:290:36:32

I never said it was.

0:36:320:36:33

My father left home for a woman just like that.

0:36:360:36:40

My mother watched ten years disappear as he turned

0:36:400:36:42

from a husband and father into a babbling schoolboy.

0:36:420:36:45

-Sorry.

-Don't be. That was his loss.

0:36:460:36:49

But I know how manipulative a woman like that can be.

0:36:490:36:51

It's the little girl again!

0:36:540:36:55

Where?

0:36:580:37:00

Dwayne, talk to Kim Neville's bank, see if she's got money of her own

0:37:060:37:11

or if there are any transfers from Roger Seymour's account.

0:37:110:37:14

-I'm on it.

-If she's a gold digger, let's see if we can prove it.

0:37:140:37:18

OK, Roger Seymour's will has to be our motive.

0:37:180:37:20

Either the killer stood to benefit from it being changed...

0:37:200:37:23

Kim Neville?

0:37:230:37:24

..or he was killed by someone to try and stop him changing it.

0:37:240:37:27

Alex Seymour.

0:37:270:37:28

Either way we can't place either of them at the scene.

0:37:280:37:31

Nicole Seymour could have had time in theory.

0:37:330:37:36

But it's a bit of a stretch to see how

0:37:360:37:38

she could have run to the mill, murdered her ex-husband

0:37:380:37:41

and then got drunk, all in the space of 25 minutes.

0:37:410:37:44

Virtually everyone else on the plantation has been ruled out too.

0:37:440:37:48

Only the doctor seems to have had the opportunity.

0:37:480:37:50

He's also the only one who knew he was dying.

0:37:500:37:53

Yet why did the victim write part of his name in his own blood?

0:37:530:37:58

Ach!

0:38:000:38:01

And then there's the torch glass. Ohhh...

0:38:010:38:04

Doesn't makes any sense!

0:38:060:38:07

Does anyone have anything?

0:38:070:38:10

OK, so I found an insurance claim from 1982.

0:38:100:38:13

A worker was killed using a new machine purchased by Roger Seymour.

0:38:130:38:17

So?

0:38:170:38:18

Well, two things really.

0:38:180:38:19

The claim was dropped for no reason I can see.

0:38:190:38:21

-And the second thing?

-Well, I know it's a long shot,

0:38:210:38:24

but the name of the victim was Johan Peters.

0:38:240:38:28

Johan.

0:38:280:38:29

-J-O-H!

-That's what I thought.

0:38:290:38:31

There must be other records. See what you can find.

0:38:310:38:33

Yes, sir.

0:38:330:38:34

OK, that's a weird one.

0:38:340:38:36

-What?

-The bank.

0:38:360:38:38

There was a standing order of 2,000 a month

0:38:380:38:40

from Roger Seymour's account to Kim Neville.

0:38:400:38:42

That's quite an allowance!

0:38:420:38:43

Yeah, but get this.

0:38:430:38:44

Every month she sent virtually the same amount over to Antigua

0:38:440:38:48

until last month when it stopped.

0:38:480:38:50

-Didn't she come from Antigua?

-Who was she sending the money to?

0:38:500:38:54

It's a business account, I'm trying to track it down now.

0:38:540:38:58

A hit man! That's how she did it.

0:38:590:39:01

She paid someone to do her dirty work.

0:39:010:39:03

See? That's the mystery man in the picture!

0:39:030:39:07

Of course!

0:39:130:39:14

-What, you agree? That it was a hit man?

-No, no, no, no.

0:39:160:39:19

Not that, the torch!

0:39:190:39:20

Please, not the torch again.

0:39:200:39:22

It's the only thing that makes any sense. Come on!

0:39:250:39:27

Come on!

0:39:270:39:28

Where are we going?

0:39:340:39:35

What are we looking for?

0:39:420:39:43

-Where did you find the ribbon exactly?

-Um, here!

0:39:430:39:46

We can't place any of our main suspects here

0:39:480:39:50

at the time of the murder, because...

0:39:500:39:53

well, they could all see each other.

0:39:530:39:56

Yes...

0:39:560:39:58

Maybe not all the time...

0:39:580:39:59

But they certainly would have seen someone walking down the track to the mill.

0:40:010:40:05

But what if they didn't walk here in plain sight?

0:40:080:40:11

Whoever plunged that machete into Roger Seymour's back...

0:40:120:40:16

managed to get in here unseen. And then it struck me.

0:40:160:40:21

What if it was the killer who was carrying the torch, not the victim?

0:40:210:40:26

But why would you need a torch in broad daylight?

0:40:270:40:30

A secret entrance? Or a tunnel back to the house.

0:40:310:40:34

-Exactly.

-HE TAPS WALLS

0:40:340:40:36

It might also explain how your little girl was able to appear and disappear at will. Hm?

0:40:370:40:42

Children are like rats.

0:40:420:40:43

They find every nook and cranny.

0:40:480:40:50

Yeah. So any one of them could have got here

0:40:500:40:54

-and back to the house unseen?

-Mm.

0:40:540:40:55

Call Fidel. I want this trap door dusted for finger prints.

0:40:550:40:59

OK.

0:40:590:41:00

Right. Let's see where this tunnel leads.

0:41:000:41:03

Are you sure you want to do this?

0:41:030:41:06

No.

0:41:060:41:07

Er, are you OK, sir?

0:41:140:41:15

Yep, fine, fine. Yep.

0:41:150:41:17

The existence of a tunnel alone doesn't conclusively prove

0:41:200:41:22

who used it, regardless of where it runs from or to.

0:41:220:41:25

Thank you. We still need hard evidence.

0:41:250:41:28

Dwayne, where are Roger Seymour's possessions? The things found on him.

0:41:280:41:31

Box on the evidence table, Chief.

0:41:310:41:33

And we found the original files on the Johan Peters case,

0:41:330:41:36

on your desk, Chief.

0:41:360:41:38

Thank you.

0:41:380:41:40

Oh, and, Sarge, I think I found your hit man.

0:41:400:41:42

-What?

-The person Kim Neville was paying.

0:41:420:41:45

Meet Annie Neville.

0:41:450:41:46

She worked as a housekeeper in Antigua, until she was placed

0:41:460:41:49

in a first rate medical facility, after she suffered a stroke.

0:41:490:41:52

A facility paid for by her daughter, Kim Neville.

0:41:520:41:56

That's what Kim was using her allowance for?

0:41:560:41:58

To pay for her mother's medical expenses?

0:41:580:42:01

It looks like it, yes.

0:42:010:42:02

Why did the payments stop?

0:42:020:42:04

Because her mother died last month.

0:42:040:42:06

-OK, that's sad.

-Hm.

0:42:060:42:09

Wait! What was the mother's name again?

0:42:090:42:11

Anne Margaret Neville.

0:42:110:42:13

'He would never have let the plantation leave the family!

0:42:290:42:31

'You're just sick because he left you nothing!

0:42:310:42:35

'Why would I kill him when he was already dying?

0:42:350:42:37

'Some people thought that the Seymours were devils.

0:42:370:42:40

'Uncle Roger, let me explain!

0:42:400:42:42

'I know exactly what you and Nicole are up to.

0:42:420:42:44

'They were all locked up for the night and the next morning they'd all vanished.'

0:42:440:42:48

Call an ambulance! It's Roger!

0:42:490:42:50

'The name of the victim was Johan Peters.'

0:42:500:42:53

Did you find any prints?

0:42:560:42:57

Yes, and good quality too.

0:42:570:42:58

How long to get a match?

0:42:580:43:00

From the exclusion prints taken at the plantation, about an hour.

0:43:000:43:03

-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!

0:43:030:43:07

Yeah! That's it. Of course.

0:43:070:43:09

What?

0:43:090:43:11

I'd say that was hard evidence, wouldn't you?

0:43:120:43:14

And look at this.

0:43:150:43:17

Dwayne, I want everyone gathered at the mill straight away, please.

0:43:170:43:21

Yes, Chief.

0:43:210:43:22

What about me, sir?

0:43:220:43:23

I need those prints, Fidel, and when you've done that,

0:43:230:43:27

I've got one last job for you.

0:43:270:43:30

You're going to need this.

0:43:330:43:35

Thank you for all for getting here so promptly.

0:43:370:43:40

I'm sorry about the short notice, but I was sure you were

0:43:400:43:42

all anxious to hear the truth about the death of Roger Seymour.

0:43:420:43:46

Particularly as his killer is in this mill.

0:43:460:43:49

Two things bothered me after I, er, saw the body of Roger Seymour here.

0:43:520:43:57

Firstly, that it would have been quite a feat for the killer

0:43:570:44:01

to enter from the door here unseen.

0:44:010:44:03

And secondly, we found broken glass here, very near the body.

0:44:030:44:10

Glass came from a torch. But there was no torch.

0:44:100:44:13

Just the glass. Why?

0:44:130:44:15

First, I thought Mr Seymour must have been using the torch,

0:44:170:44:21

but then I realised, what if it was the killer?

0:44:210:44:24

Who then took the broken torch with him. Or her.

0:44:240:44:28

But why would the killer be using a torch in broad daylight?

0:44:280:44:32

And then I remembered something that I read last night.

0:44:320:44:35

Very much like in prisoner of war camps during the war,

0:44:350:44:39

plantation slaves were known to dig tunnels in order to escape.

0:44:390:44:43

Indeed this plantation was famous for such an escape when, in 1820,

0:44:430:44:48

50 slaves mysteriously disappeared in the night.

0:44:480:44:50

So in solving the murder of Roger Seymour,

0:44:500:44:53

we have also solved a nearly 200-year-old mystery.

0:44:530:44:57

LOUDER: We've also solved a nearly 200-year-old mystery.

0:45:040:45:07

The slaves escaped through a tunnel that they'd dug whilst

0:45:120:45:15

working right here in the mill.

0:45:150:45:17

A tunnel discovered by the Seymours

0:45:170:45:19

and kept secret down through the generations.

0:45:190:45:22

The existence of a tunnel now makes the killer having a torch,

0:45:230:45:26

make perfect sense.

0:45:260:45:28

It also explains how the killer was able to enter unseen.

0:45:280:45:32

The Seymours must have discovered this tunnel.

0:45:320:45:34

I believe they then used it to spy on their workers,

0:45:340:45:37

earning them a reputation as demons who could appear out of nowhere.

0:45:370:45:42

But returning to the story of the missing slaves.

0:45:420:45:45

Legend has it, the slaves were locked into their sleeping quarters that night, disappeared by morning.

0:45:450:45:50

The storage barn used to be the old slave quarters.

0:45:500:45:53

Exactly.

0:45:530:45:54

And you used the tunnel to murder Roger Seymour, didn't you, Louis?

0:45:540:45:57

We assumed the tunnel would lead to the house.

0:46:040:46:07

When in fact it led us to the old storage barn.

0:46:070:46:10

And we can prove you used it.

0:46:100:46:12

Louis Nelson's fingerprints were found on the secret door.

0:46:120:46:14

This is ridiculous. I loved him! Why would I do that?

0:46:140:46:18

Yes, I know about the tunnel, him did tell me about it,

0:46:180:46:22

said it was used by his father to spy on the workers.

0:46:220:46:24

But I did not kill him. Why would I?

0:46:240:46:27

-Can I ask what year you were born?

-1982. What's that got to do with it?

0:46:270:46:30

1982. The year a 19 year-old boy died tragically whilst using

0:46:300:46:35

one of Roger Seymour's machines.

0:46:350:46:36

A boy called Johan Peters.

0:46:360:46:38

Johan. That was what Roger Seymour was trying to write when he died,

0:46:390:46:42

wasn't it?

0:46:420:46:44

The people said the machine was defective, that the Seymours covered

0:46:460:46:49

it up so they didn't have to pay compensation to the boy's family.

0:46:490:46:52

Well, that's what people said, but Roger swore to me that wasn't true.

0:46:520:46:56

Yes. In a statement to the magistrate,

0:46:560:46:58

Roger Seymour claimed that Johan had fallen asleep.

0:46:580:47:00

Almost certainly a lie, but no other witnesses came forward

0:47:000:47:03

and the machine was removed shortly afterwards, to remove the evidence.

0:47:030:47:07

What does that have to do with me?

0:47:070:47:09

Johan had a fiance.

0:47:090:47:11

After he died, she found out she was pregnant and, broken-hearted, she left Saint Marie.

0:47:110:47:15

Her life was a difficult one. She never married.

0:47:150:47:19

She simply struggled on alone as a single parent.

0:47:190:47:23

That woman was your mother, wasn't she?

0:47:230:47:25

Because your last name isn't really Nelson, is it, Louis?

0:47:250:47:29

It's Louis Peters.

0:47:290:47:30

I'd say that was hard evidence, wouldn't you?

0:47:300:47:32

Johan Peters, the boy killed in the so-called accident, was your father.

0:47:370:47:41

As his only son and in remembrance of your father,

0:47:410:47:43

your mother gave you his surname.

0:47:430:47:45

But there is one final piece of the jigsaw, isn't there?

0:47:470:47:50

I understand, revenge is a dish best served cold,

0:47:500:47:52

but why on earth would you work here, befriend this man,

0:47:520:47:56

and then wait nearly a year to kill him?

0:47:560:47:58

Because you had to wait for your sister to play her part, didn't you?

0:47:590:48:03

All those years ago, when Anne Neville left this island,

0:48:030:48:06

she was pregnant with twins, wasn't she?

0:48:060:48:07

As a girl, you took your mother's name - Neville.

0:48:070:48:11

When she became ill, old before her time and she knew she was dying,

0:48:110:48:14

I believe she told you about your father, told you about the injustice.

0:48:140:48:17

This isn't a photograph of Kim Neville and her secret lover.

0:48:200:48:25

It's a photograph of a brother and sister conspiring to murder

0:48:250:48:28

the man they held to be responsible for the death of their father

0:48:280:48:31

and for destroying their mother's life.

0:48:310:48:34

So you tracked down Roger Seymour, you seduced him

0:48:350:48:38

and destroyed his marriage.

0:48:380:48:40

You turned him against his family, convinced him they were simply after his money,

0:48:400:48:44

that they would sell the plantation.

0:48:440:48:46

That only you understood the legacy of the Seymour name.

0:48:460:48:49

Little did he know when he signed his will over to you in preparation

0:48:490:48:52

for your marriage, he was actually signing his own death warrant.

0:48:520:48:56

All you needed to do now, was to kill Roger Seymour

0:48:560:48:59

and make sure that neither you nor your brother Louis could possibly be suspected of his murder.

0:48:590:49:03

And for that, you both needed iron-clad alibis.

0:49:030:49:06

You made sure everyone noticed your presence.

0:49:090:49:11

When Roger Seymour headed off to the mill, you knew this was your chance.

0:49:180:49:23

The chance for you to exact your revenge.

0:49:230:49:26

Making sure you weren't seen, you headed into the hidden escape tunnel...

0:49:290:49:33

..emerging in the mill shortly afterwards.

0:49:370:49:39

You selected your weapon

0:49:410:49:43

and then revealed your true intentions to Mr Seymour.

0:49:430:49:46

You told him you were Johan's son,

0:50:080:50:10

taking revenge for the years of hurt caused to your family.

0:50:100:50:14

You wiped the machete clean, grabbed the torch...

0:50:150:50:18

..then made your way back to the old storage barn

0:50:190:50:22

and carried on with your work as if nothing had happened.

0:50:220:50:26

Louis, are you done with that clanging?!

0:50:260:50:28

Yes, miss. Sorry, miss.

0:50:280:50:31

That was your signal, wasn't it? You weren't talking about noise.

0:50:310:50:35

You were asking Louis if he had killed Roger Seymour.

0:50:350:50:38

Once you knew it was done, you could play your part.

0:50:380:50:40

Well, we can't wait for Nicole any longer.

0:50:430:50:45

He's not picking up.

0:50:470:50:49

Paul, would you be a dear and go and get Roger?

0:50:490:50:51

Of course.

0:50:510:50:53

Well, you couldn't go yourself, could you?

0:50:540:50:56

You knew if you discovered his body, you could be suspected of his murder.

0:50:560:51:00

So you sent good old Dr Johnson instead.

0:51:000:51:02

But you made a very simple and very damning mistake.

0:51:030:51:07

Because you knew there was no way he could answer the call, you didn't even bother making it.

0:51:070:51:12

-'Look at that.

-There was no missed call from you on his phone.'

0:51:140:51:17

Please.

0:51:240:51:26

You seduced him and ruined our marriage,

0:51:270:51:30

just so you could kill him?

0:51:300:51:32

I never slept with him, it was enough to make him want me.

0:51:320:51:36

Seymour deserved what he got!

0:51:360:51:38

He killed our father and he sent our mother to an early grave.

0:51:380:51:42

So yes, we were going to take all this away from him,

0:51:420:51:45

just like him did take everything from us.

0:51:450:51:48

Easy, son!

0:51:480:51:49

And you know what we were going to do with it?

0:51:510:51:53

Burn it to the ground! He had it coming, you all did!

0:51:530:51:58

Roger Seymour would have died, with or without you. He was sick.

0:52:120:52:16

What?

0:52:180:52:19

Doctor?

0:52:200:52:22

He had a malignant brain tumour. He had months left to live.

0:52:220:52:26

The announcement I believe he was due to make that lunchtime.

0:52:260:52:29

If you'd only waited until after that lunch,

0:52:290:52:31

you would have seen him die anyway.

0:52:310:52:33

The new will isn't worth the paper it's written on and you'll both go to jail for the rest of your lives.

0:52:330:52:38

Oh, Louis...

0:52:380:52:39

No!

0:52:520:52:54

Most days, I like my job...

0:53:160:53:18

But today is not one of those days.

0:53:200:53:22

No.

0:53:250:53:26

So how are we getting back?

0:53:530:53:54

We have the bike.

0:53:540:53:56

Actually, do you know what? I... I think I might walk.

0:53:580:54:02

Are you sure?

0:54:020:54:03

Yeah, yeah, why not? You know, it's a lovely day.

0:54:030:54:06

Well, it's seven miles.

0:54:060:54:07

I'll, er, I'll be brisk.

0:54:100:54:12

In the sun?

0:54:120:54:13

Um, yeah, well, it's, er, it's 96 in the shade,

0:54:130:54:18

it's practically a cold snap.

0:54:180:54:19

I know they are killers, but...it's sad.

0:54:230:54:26

I agree with you, Camille. Yes, it's sad,

0:54:260:54:29

but unfortunately murder is murder.

0:54:290:54:32

Quite right, Fidel.

0:54:320:54:33

There may be mitigating circumstances,

0:54:330:54:35

but that's not our concern. It's up to the courts now.

0:54:350:54:38

Well, I need a drink.

0:54:380:54:40

I need three. You coming with us, Chief?

0:54:400:54:44

-Well, er...

-What? You have another book to read?

0:54:440:54:47

Or your lizard needs a bath?

0:54:470:54:49

Actually, I was going to say, I thought you had a date.

0:54:490:54:52

Oh, my god! I forgot! My mother's going to kill me.

0:54:520:54:55

OK, um, goodbye.

0:54:550:54:56

A date?

0:54:590:55:00

Something her mother set up. Bordering on the medieval if you ask me,

0:55:000:55:04

but, er, who am I to argue with the voodoo goddess of love?

0:55:040:55:08

POUNDING DRUMS AND MUSIC

0:55:080:55:10

SHE LAUGHS

0:55:210:55:22

Oh, Michael, sorry.

0:55:240:55:26

You're late.

0:55:320:55:33

Five minutes.

0:55:330:55:34

It still creates a bad impression.

0:55:340:55:36

But you look beautiful, I'm sure he'll forgive you.

0:55:370:55:40

OK, is he here?

0:55:400:55:42

On the patio. Go and say hello.

0:55:420:55:45

-Maman, do I really have to?

-Yes!

0:55:470:55:49

Camille?

0:56:140:56:16

Oh! Good lord, you look stunning.

0:56:160:56:20

Thank you.

0:56:210:56:23

Um...this is a bit of a surprise. I, er, I wasn't expecting...

0:56:230:56:29

No. Quite.

0:56:290:56:30

It was your mother's idea.

0:56:310:56:34

I don't know if you've noticed, but she's quite difficult to say no to.

0:56:340:56:38

Yes, I have.

0:56:390:56:40

Um, I think I'll have a cocktail.

0:56:440:56:47

Oh, right!

0:56:470:56:48

-Have you got time?

-Excuse me?

0:56:480:56:51

Only I thought you had a date.

0:56:510:56:54

-Yes, but, er...

-Are you ready, sir?

0:56:540:56:56

What's going on?

0:56:580:56:59

Your mother arranged for me to babysit baby Rosie for Fidel and Juliet,

0:57:000:57:04

so they could go for a romantic meal together and...

0:57:040:57:07

I agreed, subject to certain conditions, such as they were

0:57:070:57:09

home by ten and she sleeps the whole time that I'm there.

0:57:090:57:13

So basically less babysitting, more reading a book in someone's house.

0:57:140:57:18

Haven't you had enough work for one day?

0:57:180:57:21

It's rude to keep your date waiting.

0:57:210:57:23

Well, er, we'd better be going. I, um, hope you...

0:57:270:57:30

..you know, have a nice time.

0:57:310:57:33

Yes...

0:57:330:57:34

See you tomorrow?

0:57:340:57:36

See you.

0:57:360:57:38

I've said a prayer to Erzulie for you.

0:57:380:57:40

Therese? Therese!

0:58:040:58:07

Who would want to murder a nun?

0:58:070:58:08

Anyone who'd seen The Sound Of Music more than once?

0:58:080:58:11

I know you're going to say they're brides of Christ.

0:58:110:58:13

But some of them are bad through and through. They are evil!

0:58:130:58:16

Sir!

0:58:160:58:17

A teenage girl who knew too much?

0:58:180:58:21

We have a witness who says she was scared when she saw you.

0:58:210:58:24

Then your witness is mistaken.

0:58:240:58:26

Women don't make me nervous.
