0:00:01 > 0:00:04MUSIC: "Wonderful World, Beautiful People" by Jimmy Cliff

0:00:04 > 0:00:09# Wonderful world, beautiful people

0:00:09 > 0:00:14# You and your girl Things could be pretty

0:00:14 > 0:00:19# But underneath this there is a secret

0:00:19 > 0:00:22# That nobody can reveal. #

0:00:27 > 0:00:30You know, I could swear this lot are still alive.

0:00:30 > 0:00:33See, that one just winked at me.

0:00:33 > 0:00:34We're police officers, Camille.

0:00:34 > 0:00:38We should be out catching criminals, not dawdling about,

0:00:38 > 0:00:41making polite chit-chat at some random fundraiser.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43You want to save the coral reef, don't you?

0:00:43 > 0:00:45Yeah, yeah of course.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47Actually no... No, I don't, not if I have to do this.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50Yeah, and seeing as this charity's all about saving sea creatures,

0:00:50 > 0:00:53how come they're serving prawns, hmm?

0:00:53 > 0:00:55Bit of a mixed message, don't you think?

0:01:18 > 0:01:19That'll be him, then.

0:01:19 > 0:01:24- Well, I'll go and meet him, I'll take him through to the study. - Yeah - good, good. Very good.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30All right, sweetie?

0:01:30 > 0:01:33Fine, yeah. It's a bloody good turn-out.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35It's all going marvellously.

0:01:49 > 0:01:50Hot?

0:01:54 > 0:01:57So, you're here to save the coral reef, are you?

0:01:57 > 0:01:59Well, actually, I'm here under protest.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02Yeah, orders from on high. Apparently I am to "press the flesh".

0:02:02 > 0:02:06Flesh which appears to be attached to some very, very dull people.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09All while eating this dreadful food

0:02:09 > 0:02:13and choking on the lukewarm vinegar masquerading as wine.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17- How about you?- I'm the host.

0:02:17 > 0:02:18Excuse me.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27He's making his way to the study.

0:02:27 > 0:02:31Right, good. Well, let's see what he's got to say for himself, then.

0:02:31 > 0:02:35Just give me ten minutes and then come in and interrupt us, right?

0:02:35 > 0:02:36- OK.- Good.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43I trust you've been making friends, establishing new contacts?

0:02:43 > 0:02:47- Well...- Yes, actually the inspector has just been talking to our host.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Excellent.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52These charity things can be tedious, I know, but surprisingly useful

0:02:52 > 0:02:56when it comes to negotiating our annual budget.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58Most of the police committee are here.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01And I'm sure the Inspector would love to meet all of them.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03And so he shall.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Merci.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17I said stay round the back!

0:03:17 > 0:03:19All right!

0:03:25 > 0:03:27- Hi.- Hi.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30I'm Vicky Woodward. Mr Powell's Personal Assistant.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32- Camille Bordey.- Hi.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34GUNSHOT

0:03:38 > 0:03:41God!

0:03:49 > 0:03:50Oh!

0:04:27 > 0:04:31Everybody move back, please. Move back.

0:04:31 > 0:04:32SHE SOBS

0:04:35 > 0:04:36I know who did this.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41Jack Roberts.

0:04:41 > 0:04:42CAR ENGINE STARTS

0:04:43 > 0:04:44That's him!

0:04:58 > 0:05:01Dwayne, listen to me, there's been a shooting at the Powells' house.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04The suspect has just left in a silver Mercedes car.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06I've got a partial registration - 062.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08See if you can intercept it.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21So?

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Well, I can't find any signs of a struggle -

0:05:24 > 0:05:26no bruising or lesions on the victim's skin

0:05:26 > 0:05:29and there are no tissues or fibres underneath his fingernails.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32Good, so he was clearly taken by surprise.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38And no sign of the murder weapon?

0:05:38 > 0:05:39No, sir.

0:05:41 > 0:05:42MOBILE PHONE BLEEPS

0:05:51 > 0:05:55- That's odd.- What?- Well, this air conditioning unit is on full blast,

0:05:55 > 0:05:57but the window's wide open.

0:05:57 > 0:06:01Sometimes people open a window just to get some fresh air.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06Hmm.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08Or maybe you think that's how the killer got away?

0:06:08 > 0:06:12This Jack Roberts, he arranged today's meeting with the secretary,

0:06:12 > 0:06:14- didn't he?- That's right.

0:06:14 > 0:06:18Who in their right mind rings up to make an appointment to commit murder?

0:06:18 > 0:06:21And even if they did, who arranges that meeting in the middle of a

0:06:21 > 0:06:24charity fundraiser in broad daylight with crowds of people everywhere?

0:06:25 > 0:06:28Maybe when he came here, he didn't intend to kill him.

0:06:28 > 0:06:29They could have argued.

0:06:33 > 0:06:37Right, let's get the paramedics in. I want everybody out of the house. I want it sealed off.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40Only the victim's immediate family can stay - once their rooms have been checked.

0:06:40 > 0:06:44Er, sir? Looks like he was planning a trip.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47Maybe his secretary knows why.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09- Fidel.- Sir?

0:07:11 > 0:07:12Bullet.

0:07:19 > 0:07:20Hmm.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31You're Mr Powell's personal assistant?

0:07:31 > 0:07:32Yes, I am.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35This must be very distressing for you. Had you been with him long?

0:07:35 > 0:07:37Just a little over seven years.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40Three years here, four back in England.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43And you arranged the meeting with Mr Powell and Jack Roberts?

0:07:43 > 0:07:45- I did, yeah. - What can you tell us about him?

0:07:45 > 0:07:50Er, well I've only spoken to him on the phone, until today.

0:07:50 > 0:07:54Um, I saw him arrive, and I went out to his car and um,

0:07:54 > 0:07:58I brought him back in the study to wait for Mr Powell.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00What was the nature of their business?

0:08:00 > 0:08:01Mr Powell didn't say, sorry.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06I do know that he was very uneasy about the meeting - um,

0:08:06 > 0:08:10like he didn't want to do it, but didn't have a choice.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13He actually asked me to interrupt him after ten minutes.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15I didn't get that chance.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18If you arranged the meeting, then you must have some contact details?

0:08:18 > 0:08:19I have a phone number.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21- Please?- Yes.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23And um... could you give us a description?

0:08:23 > 0:08:25- Here we are.- Thank you.

0:08:25 > 0:08:31He was white. Um, 35, 40 maybe, and quite a bit taller than me.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34- Six foot? - At least. Yeah. Brown hair.

0:08:34 > 0:08:35Brown eyes.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Build?- Quite skinny.

0:08:38 > 0:08:39What was he wearing?

0:08:39 > 0:08:42A casual jacket. And jeans.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44And black shoes.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47- Would you know him if you saw him again?- Yes. Definitely.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Did anyone else see him?

0:08:49 > 0:08:54No. Oh, well...actually, Mark may have done.

0:08:54 > 0:08:58- Who's Mark?- Mark Grainger. He's one of our divers. He's staying at the house.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00He needed some overtime.

0:09:00 > 0:09:04He's working double shifts so he was at the marine reserve last night.

0:09:04 > 0:09:08He was making his way upstairs as we went through the hall.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12- Anyone else?- I don't know.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14Um... I don't know who else was in the house.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17Er, Duncan Wood, our gardener - he was outside,

0:09:17 > 0:09:19so he may have seen him arrive.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23OK, thank you.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25Oh, there's one more thing.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28We found this on Mr Powell's desk.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30Yes, I made that booking.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33A one-way ticket to the Cayman Islands?

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Well, Mr Powell said it was charity business,

0:09:35 > 0:09:38so he didn't know, you know, how long he was going to stay.

0:09:41 > 0:09:42Thanks.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44- That's all for now.- Thank you.

0:09:51 > 0:09:52Um, Fidel?

0:09:54 > 0:09:57- Fidel?- Sorry, I was just...

0:09:57 > 0:09:59Yeah, you'd better get this description circulated

0:09:59 > 0:10:01- and check on Dwayne.- Sure.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06PHONE KEYPAD TONE

0:10:10 > 0:10:11Straight to the voicemail.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14Now there's a surprise. Can I borrow your finger?

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Here. Come on.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Yes, thank you.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24Right. OK, so the victim was what, five foot ten? Excuse me, thank you.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28And er, shot through the heart.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31So, the shot must have been fired...

0:10:33 > 0:10:34..from round about...

0:10:36 > 0:10:37..here.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41Hmm, so the shot wasn't fired through the window.

0:10:44 > 0:10:45Now, there are no scuff marks,

0:10:45 > 0:10:49no sign of anyone having climbed through in a hurry,

0:10:49 > 0:10:52no footprints in the flower bed outside,

0:10:52 > 0:10:55so the question remains - why is it open?

0:10:55 > 0:10:59I should talk to the other witnesses um, Mark Grainger and Duncan Wood.

0:10:59 > 0:11:04Talk to the wife, too. See if she knew anything about this Jack Roberts and what the meeting was about.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06And check with the phone company.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08- See if they can track the number the secretary gave you.- OK.

0:11:20 > 0:11:24Well, that's it really. This bloke pulled up in a car, Vicky met him

0:11:24 > 0:11:26and took him inside.

0:11:26 > 0:11:27Um, could you describe him?

0:11:28 > 0:11:33- He looked a bit like my Uncle George.- Uh, that doesn't help.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35Tall, skinny. Had like a blazer on.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38- That's it?- Pretty much.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41Oh, did you hear the gunshot?

0:11:41 > 0:11:44- Look, it was hard not to. - Where were you exactly?

0:11:44 > 0:11:48I nipped round to take a look at the party, when Vicky the rottweiler caught me.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52I said, keep out the way.

0:11:52 > 0:11:56I was heading back round to the pool when I heard the bang.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59Then the guy in the silver car just flew past me like a bullet.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02- And it was the same man you saw go in?- Yeah, it was the same man.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06I'm telling you, Fidel, I know these roads like the back of my hand

0:12:06 > 0:12:11and it's nowhere to be seen. He's either dumped the car or he's taken the mountain road inland

0:12:11 > 0:12:13before doubling back somewhere.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15OK, well, start heading back this way.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18I've contacted the airport and the marina and I've circulated

0:12:18 > 0:12:22his description - they're all on the look out - he can't get far.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24Yeah, that's what they all say. I'll see you in a while.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26All right.

0:12:26 > 0:12:30Er, didn't pay much attention if I'm honest. People are coming and going all the time.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32But you did see him?

0:12:32 > 0:12:35Yeah, from the back. As they walked towards the study.

0:12:35 > 0:12:39I said hello to Vicky and she turned round, but the bloke didn't.

0:12:39 > 0:12:40Could you describe him?

0:12:40 > 0:12:44Quite tall. Dark hair. Was wearing jeans, I think.

0:12:47 > 0:12:49Sorry, don't suppose that's much help.

0:12:49 > 0:12:53No, no, don't worry. That's all right. And when the shot was fired?

0:12:53 > 0:12:57I was up in my room. I'd been at the centre checking on delivery of new equipment.

0:12:57 > 0:13:02So I thought I'd get a quick shower and change of shirt before I joined the party.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04I heard the bang, so I went out to the balcony.

0:13:06 > 0:13:11You could tell from everyone's reaction it was something bad, so I just ran downstairs.

0:13:11 > 0:13:15Have you ever heard Mr Powell talk about a Jack Roberts?

0:13:15 > 0:13:17No. Sorry.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19OK, thank you for your help.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21Pleasure.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24Listen, can I, er, can I be cheeky?

0:13:24 > 0:13:25Excuse me?

0:13:27 > 0:13:29Can I take you out for a drink? Tonight, maybe?

0:13:29 > 0:13:33- I know this wicked little beach bar. - I don't think so. - You've got a boyfriend?

0:13:33 > 0:13:36- No.- Then...- But I'm a police officer investigating a murder

0:13:36 > 0:13:38and you're a potential witness.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41Not the done thing. So it's not a no, then?

0:13:41 > 0:13:43It's a what - maybe?

0:13:50 > 0:13:51Still nothing from Dwayne?

0:13:51 > 0:13:55No. It looks like our killer's vanished into thin air.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58Talking of air, we'd better get some in that tyre.

0:13:58 > 0:13:59Yeah, sure.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22I've never even heard of this man. Who is he?

0:14:22 > 0:14:24That's what we're trying to establish.

0:14:24 > 0:14:29- You're sure your husband never mentioned him?- I'm sure.

0:14:29 > 0:14:33And I... I didn't even know he had a meeting today.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35He should have been at the party.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38So you have no idea what this meeting might have been about?

0:14:38 > 0:14:40No. Doesn't Vicky know?

0:14:40 > 0:14:46She, um, she knows much more about his comings and goings than I do.

0:14:46 > 0:14:47No.

0:14:49 > 0:14:52There's nothing else you can tell us?

0:14:58 > 0:14:59I can't believe he's gone.

0:15:02 > 0:15:07So the wife didn't know what the meeting with Jack Roberts was about, either?

0:15:07 > 0:15:11He's a man - of course he's keeping secrets from the women in his life.

0:15:11 > 0:15:12A bit sexist?

0:15:13 > 0:15:14Um, it's a fact.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17All men lead secret lives away from their women.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19And those men that don't, wish they did.

0:15:19 > 0:15:20Well, I don't have secrets.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23I've always regarded myself as being something of an open book.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Really?

0:15:25 > 0:15:30Then what's in the metal tin in the top left hand drawer of your desk?

0:15:44 > 0:15:48No-one can escape their past, can they?

0:15:48 > 0:15:49CAR ENGINE STARTS

0:16:21 > 0:16:24So, we're running checks on Jack Roberts.

0:16:24 > 0:16:28Um... the mobile phone is switched off so they can't track it and

0:16:28 > 0:16:32there's no record of him entering Saint Marie through immigration.

0:16:32 > 0:16:36Well, er, he was very brazen. Perhaps he was a professional.

0:16:36 > 0:16:38Yeah, or he could be local, or he came from one of the other

0:16:38 > 0:16:41islands by private boat. I'm checking with the marina now.

0:16:41 > 0:16:44So there are only four people who know of Jack Roberts.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47Let's get our eye witnesses in front of a police artist,

0:16:47 > 0:16:49see if we can get a sketch done.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52And Fidel, run a full background check on Malcolm Powell,

0:16:52 > 0:16:55see if you can find a link with Jack Roberts.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59- Fidel?- Yes, sir?

0:16:59 > 0:17:02- Background check.- Yes, sir, on who?

0:17:03 > 0:17:05Were you listening to anything I said?

0:17:05 > 0:17:08Yes, sir. Of course, it's just, if you,

0:17:08 > 0:17:09if you could remind me, that's all.

0:17:09 > 0:17:11- The victim?- Right away, sir.

0:17:16 > 0:17:18What?!

0:17:18 > 0:17:21- # I said yeah - I say yeah

0:17:21 > 0:17:25- # It's what I say - It's what I say

0:17:25 > 0:17:28- # I say yeah, my lord - I say yeah

0:17:28 > 0:17:30- # It's what I say - It's what I say

0:17:30 > 0:17:33# Let's take it up this time... #

0:17:35 > 0:17:40Right, so Mr and Mrs Powell's assistant, Vicky Woodward,

0:17:40 > 0:17:43meets this man at his car and leads him into the house.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46Seen first by the gardener, Duncan Wood.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49Then by Mark Grainger just as they're entering the study.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52No-one else saw Jack Roberts.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55Now, Vicky Woodward returns to the party to collect Mr Powell.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58On their way back to the house, he instructs her to interrupt

0:17:58 > 0:18:01the meeting after ten minutes had passed.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03'Give me ten minutes then just come in and interrupt us.'

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Miss Woodward then goes back to the party.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08But before she can interrupt the meeting as requested,

0:18:08 > 0:18:12this man shoots Mr Powell, gets into his car, and escapes.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15Letting down our tyre before he goes, so we can't follow him.

0:18:15 > 0:18:19Logic would suggest he left via the open window, but there was no physical evidence of that.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22Did we find any fingerprints on the window frame?

0:18:22 > 0:18:25Yes, um, but the only clear prints were Mr Powell's and Miss Woodward's.

0:18:25 > 0:18:29Now, I do not believe he escaped through the open window,

0:18:29 > 0:18:32I think he went out the way he came in.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34Yet no-one saw him leave. Why?

0:18:34 > 0:18:37Because that area of the house was empty, apart from Mr Powell

0:18:37 > 0:18:40and his killer. Everyone else was at the party.

0:18:40 > 0:18:42Oh! Except Mark Grainger, but he was upstairs.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45- PHONE RINGS - Honore police station. - How do you know that?

0:18:45 > 0:18:50I saw him myself - upstairs on the balcony seconds after the gunshot.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53- What about the gardener?- He was outside as well on the other side of the house,

0:18:53 > 0:18:55after talking to Vicky Woodward.

0:18:55 > 0:18:58Sir! It's Dwayne. He's found something.

0:19:19 > 0:19:23When nothing passed me, I knew he had turned off somewhere,

0:19:23 > 0:19:25so I retraced the road back to the Powells' house.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29Then a street trader told me he saw a silver car being

0:19:29 > 0:19:32driven at speed, turning off down into the lane back there.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38- Well done, Dwayne. - Thank you, Chief.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40This is definitely it.

0:19:49 > 0:19:50HE COUGHS

0:19:51 > 0:19:54Do we, er, do we know how far we are from the house?

0:19:54 > 0:19:57Less than half a mile.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00It makes sense he'd ditch the car as soon as he could. He knew we were looking for him.

0:20:00 > 0:20:04I want a fingertip search of the area. Let's see if he's dumped the murder weapon.

0:20:04 > 0:20:05Chief.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07Sir!

0:20:07 > 0:20:11One set of footprints - and whoever it was, was dragging something.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13A small boat? A dinghy maybe?

0:20:13 > 0:20:17No, no, no, it'd be way too small. He couldn't get very far in that.

0:20:19 > 0:20:23Right, so he dumps the car, burns it to destroy any evidence

0:20:23 > 0:20:26and then, er, takes a small boat out to - what?

0:20:26 > 0:20:28A bigger boat anchored in the bay?

0:20:31 > 0:20:34Is that why he didn't mind being seen? He knew he'd be long gone?

0:20:35 > 0:20:37This wasn't a spur-of-the-moment killing,

0:20:37 > 0:20:41brought on by anger or the result of an argument.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43This was a premeditated murder,

0:20:43 > 0:20:45meticulously planned down to the last detail.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47- Yep.- Chief!

0:20:49 > 0:20:51Look.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54It's those paper things they use to bind up bank notes.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56Each one, 2,000.

0:20:56 > 0:20:57And there's ten of them.

0:20:57 > 0:20:5920,000.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09How can we can check if there was a bigger boat in the area?

0:21:09 > 0:21:13To get to this part of the island it must have passed the harbour

0:21:13 > 0:21:14and the quayside.

0:21:14 > 0:21:18OK, let's check it, if we can get a name of the boat, we can alert the coastguard.

0:21:18 > 0:21:19Done.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31OK, sir - I've checked everywhere by the car

0:21:31 > 0:21:34and there is no sign of the murder weapon.

0:21:34 > 0:21:38No, no, of course not. That'd be far too easy, wouldn't it?

0:21:38 > 0:21:42Er, nothing about this case makes any sense.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45- Go on.- Right, well the air conditioning was on full blast,

0:21:45 > 0:21:46but the window was wide open.

0:21:46 > 0:21:50Secondly, the killer clearly went to the Powell house to commit murder,

0:21:50 > 0:21:53yet made no attempt to conceal his identity.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56Just shot the victim through the heart, drove off in full view of everybody.

0:21:56 > 0:22:00And why did he have 20,000 in cash?

0:22:00 > 0:22:02Payment? If he was a professional?

0:22:03 > 0:22:05Yeah, paid by whom?

0:22:05 > 0:22:10I ran a full number plate of the car. It was stolen.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12Something else that doesn't make any sense.

0:22:12 > 0:22:16- Why?- Criminals steal cars to give them anonymity.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19Our killer was happy to make an appointment in his own name!

0:22:19 > 0:22:21You know, why not use his own car? Or simply hire one?

0:22:21 > 0:22:23Why go to the trouble of stealing a car

0:22:23 > 0:22:26and run the risk of getting caught?

0:22:26 > 0:22:30Fidel, where are we up to on the background check on Malcolm Powell?

0:22:30 > 0:22:32- Fidel!- Hmm?

0:22:32 > 0:22:36What is the matter with you today? Every time I look at you, you're on that bloody phone!

0:22:36 > 0:22:38- I'm sorry, sir. - Come on then, come on. What is it?

0:22:38 > 0:22:43You've got some new app-game-twit-face feature that does your shopping for you,

0:22:43 > 0:22:47- while totting up your bank account and telling you the weather in North Korea?- No, sir.

0:22:47 > 0:22:48Well, what is it, then?

0:22:48 > 0:22:53- It's my sergeant's exams.- Good, thank you! It's your sergeant's exams! Yes, good...

0:22:53 > 0:22:55I didn't know that, did I? It's good.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57I should be getting my results today. They said they'd call.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00But I should be focusing on my work, not on that.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03I'm sorry, I won't let it happen again. Unless they ring?

0:23:03 > 0:23:05No, of course, thank you.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14And er, yeah - I wouldn't worry, Fidel,

0:23:14 > 0:23:17I'm sure you've passed with flying colours.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20Thank you, sir. The Powell report is on your desk.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22Thank you. Good work.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26OK, so I checked the harbour office.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29They didn't see any boats passing that way. I also spoke to the fishermen round there.

0:23:29 > 0:23:33They have a clear view of the bay from where they sit. They didn't see anything either.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35So he's still on the island?

0:23:35 > 0:23:38So burning the car, the tracks to the water -

0:23:38 > 0:23:41all an elaborate distraction.

0:23:41 > 0:23:45But a distraction from what? What doesn't he want us to find?

0:23:45 > 0:23:49- And why didn't he leave the island when he had the chance? - Another dead end.

0:23:49 > 0:23:53I ran a check on the other islands. I've got 17 matches for

0:23:53 > 0:23:57the name Jack Roberts. Only eight of those were in the right age range.

0:23:57 > 0:24:01Two are dead, one is in prison and of the remaining five,

0:24:01 > 0:24:03four are of Caribbean descent.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05What about the other one?

0:24:05 > 0:24:06Um, he lives in Antigua.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08So? He could have come here by boat.

0:24:08 > 0:24:12And he's also five feet four and weighs 23 stone.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15Ah.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18Right, OK, real name or not,

0:24:18 > 0:24:22I want to know who gave Jack Roberts 20,000.

0:24:22 > 0:24:25Why can't we just dust those bands for prints?

0:24:25 > 0:24:28No, it's not possible. With porous paper like that,

0:24:28 > 0:24:31only the labs in Guadeloupe will have equipment sensitive enough.

0:24:31 > 0:24:34- So, no. - That's where you're wrong, Fidel.

0:24:34 > 0:24:38Could someone be so kind as to buy me a tube of wart cream?

0:25:03 > 0:25:04What?

0:25:06 > 0:25:07What's that?

0:25:07 > 0:25:09There's been an explosion up at the old mine

0:25:09 > 0:25:12and you need to get help as fast as you can?

0:25:14 > 0:25:15Everyone's a critic, eh?

0:25:36 > 0:25:38So, you found your wart cream?

0:25:38 > 0:25:40Which, as I'm sure you know,

0:25:40 > 0:25:44contains one very useful active ingredient - silver nitrate.

0:25:44 > 0:25:48Yeah, of course I knew. OK, go on - how does this experiment work?

0:25:48 > 0:25:51Right. Well, the silver nitrate impregnates the soft paper

0:25:51 > 0:25:56and reacts with the sweat in the fingerprints to form silver chloride.

0:25:56 > 0:26:00So I started it last night and now the paper has dried out, it's er,

0:26:00 > 0:26:05well, just a question of exposing the new compound to ultraviolet light.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07If you'd like to hold that, please.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10Because under UV light,

0:26:10 > 0:26:12silver chloride fluoresces...

0:26:18 > 0:26:20..revealing the prints.

0:26:20 > 0:26:26- Any matches?- Yes, I have, er, yes, 33 clear prints

0:26:26 > 0:26:29so far - all belonging to the same person.

0:26:30 > 0:26:32- Who?- Malcolm Powell.

0:26:33 > 0:26:39Why would Malcolm Powell be giving 20,000 to his killer?

0:26:39 > 0:26:43Well, I did some company searches on his UK businesses last night,

0:26:43 > 0:26:46and it seems that Malcolm Powell isn't quite the man

0:26:46 > 0:26:49everyone's been telling us he is.

0:27:02 > 0:27:06- Can I help you?- Yes. You can talk to me about Lindman Investments.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11It was the main reason the Powells came here.

0:27:11 > 0:27:14You know, the economic situation in the UK was awful,

0:27:14 > 0:27:17everyone hating any kind of financial institution.

0:27:17 > 0:27:19Especially a corrupt one.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21The company ran into trouble.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23He did what he did to save it.

0:27:23 > 0:27:27The press called it a Ponzi scheme, but you know what? It was a lot more complicated than that.

0:27:27 > 0:27:30But he still conned all his investors out of their money.

0:27:32 > 0:27:33He paid for his mistakes.

0:27:35 > 0:27:38You know, I doubt that escaping prosecution

0:27:38 > 0:27:42and moving to the Caribbean was seen by everyone as justice.

0:27:42 > 0:27:45He was truly sorry those people lost their money.

0:27:45 > 0:27:47And Jack Roberts?

0:27:47 > 0:27:50Oh, well... Jack Roberts started calling a few weeks ago.

0:27:50 > 0:27:52He was demanding a meeting.

0:27:52 > 0:27:55He was one of the UK investors for Lindman?

0:27:55 > 0:27:58Um, yeah. He wouldn't give up.

0:27:58 > 0:27:59He was threatening to expose him

0:27:59 > 0:28:04and go to the press, and in the end, Mr Powell agreed to pay him off.

0:28:04 > 0:28:0620,000.

0:28:08 > 0:28:10How did you know that?

0:28:10 > 0:28:13Never mind, carry on.

0:28:13 > 0:28:17Well, Jack Roberts insisted on collecting the cash face-to-face.

0:28:17 > 0:28:19- And that's what the meeting was about?- Uh-huh.

0:28:19 > 0:28:22Why didn't you tell us any of this before?

0:28:22 > 0:28:26It took Mr and Mrs Powell almost three years to build a new life for themselves here.

0:28:26 > 0:28:29I guess I'm still trying to protect that.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34Very well, that'll be all. Thank you.

0:28:34 > 0:28:35Thank you.

0:28:35 > 0:28:38Oh, no - one more thing.

0:28:38 > 0:28:41How long have you been in a relationship with the gardener?

0:28:45 > 0:28:46I don't trust her.

0:28:46 > 0:28:50What, because she was having an affair with the gardener?

0:28:50 > 0:28:54A bit prudish, isn't it? I thought you French were supposed to be the great romantics.

0:28:54 > 0:28:56She's been his personal assistant for seven years.

0:28:56 > 0:28:58She must have known what he was doing in the UK.

0:29:02 > 0:29:04I think it's time to talk to the wife.

0:29:18 > 0:29:19So? Anything?

0:29:19 > 0:29:22No. I don't understand. They said they'd have the results today.

0:29:22 > 0:29:25- But they'll phone?- Yes.

0:29:25 > 0:29:28Or maybe send an email. Or even a letter.

0:29:28 > 0:29:29But definitely today?

0:29:29 > 0:29:33Yes - today, today, today...

0:29:33 > 0:29:36Or tomorrow. Or maybe the day after that, I don't know, I'm not sure.

0:29:36 > 0:29:39Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! so you mean to say, I have to suffer

0:29:39 > 0:29:42two more days of you looking like a horse with a toothache?

0:29:42 > 0:29:44I think I only slept one hour last night.

0:29:44 > 0:29:48My stomach was all knotted up, I keep waking up in cold sweats, it's crazy.

0:29:48 > 0:29:52You shouldn't let it get to you like this, man.

0:29:52 > 0:29:54I know, Dwayne, but it's important.

0:29:54 > 0:29:56Things have been tough since the baby arrived.

0:29:56 > 0:29:59Juliet can't work, and well - well, money's tight.

0:30:00 > 0:30:03- I could lend you some.- No, thank you but it's not just about that,

0:30:03 > 0:30:06it's not just about the now, it's about the future.

0:30:06 > 0:30:09You know, being a man. Being able to provide for my family.

0:30:09 > 0:30:13Fidel, you don't need money to be a great dad

0:30:13 > 0:30:16and you don't need sergeant stripes either.

0:30:16 > 0:30:20Yes, OK it's not just that, it's...

0:30:20 > 0:30:22I want Juliet to be proud of me as well.

0:30:22 > 0:30:24Fidel, she already is.

0:30:25 > 0:30:27You think?

0:30:27 > 0:30:28I know.

0:30:31 > 0:30:32Yeah.

0:30:34 > 0:30:36You want a man hug?

0:30:36 > 0:30:38- A what?!- Come here, man!

0:30:46 > 0:30:49I knew it would be something like this.

0:30:49 > 0:30:51You can't just steal people's money and walk away.

0:30:51 > 0:30:55Mrs Powell. We believe that before he died, your husband tried to buy

0:30:55 > 0:30:58Jack Roberts off. D'you know anything about that?

0:30:59 > 0:31:00No, of course not!

0:31:02 > 0:31:04Were you aware that he had 20,000 in cash?

0:31:06 > 0:31:07No, but I wouldn't be.

0:31:09 > 0:31:14There was always cash lying around the house.

0:31:14 > 0:31:17Malcolm was an old barrow boy. He preferred it,

0:31:17 > 0:31:19said it was easier to keep track of.

0:31:21 > 0:31:24When did you know his investment company was a scam?

0:31:26 > 0:31:28The same time as everybody else.

0:31:29 > 0:31:32I was horrified and not just because of what he'd done,

0:31:32 > 0:31:34but because he'd kept it from me.

0:31:36 > 0:31:39It was a tough time for us.

0:31:39 > 0:31:40Our marriage only survived

0:31:40 > 0:31:45because he agreed to come out here three years ago and...

0:31:45 > 0:31:47I know what you must think.

0:31:47 > 0:31:51But my husband was a good man - he was a kind man.

0:31:51 > 0:31:54And the charity was testament to that.

0:31:54 > 0:31:55He just...

0:31:57 > 0:32:00he just took a wrong turn and...and couldn't find his way back.

0:32:04 > 0:32:05Good morning, sir.

0:32:05 > 0:32:09Oh, I got the interim report back from the pathologist.

0:32:09 > 0:32:12All right, so Malcolm Powell was killed by a 9mm bullet that

0:32:12 > 0:32:14pierced his heart - it was the right ventricle -

0:32:14 > 0:32:17and the striations to the flesh around the wound suggest

0:32:17 > 0:32:20that the gun was held directly at his body when it was fired.

0:32:20 > 0:32:22Sounds like an execution to me.

0:32:22 > 0:32:25Right. And I also contacted the Serious Organised Crime Agency

0:32:25 > 0:32:27back in the UK about Lindman Investments.

0:32:27 > 0:32:30Now, they seem to think that up to £18 million was

0:32:30 > 0:32:32taken from investors before the company collapsed

0:32:32 > 0:32:34and not all of it was found either.

0:32:34 > 0:32:36They think Malcolm Powell had it?

0:32:36 > 0:32:39Well, if he did, they didn't find anything.

0:32:40 > 0:32:44So, who was our victim, hmm?

0:32:44 > 0:32:48An inept businessman who simply took a wrong turn?

0:32:48 > 0:32:50Here in Saint Marie to rebuild his life,

0:32:50 > 0:32:54make amends with his charity work?

0:32:54 > 0:32:56- Or a crook?- Hmm, a crook.

0:32:56 > 0:33:00Well, you know what they say, a leopard never changes its spots.

0:33:00 > 0:33:02Yeah, Fidel, I want you to go to the bank.

0:33:02 > 0:33:06Check all the accounts held there in either Powell's or his wife's name.

0:33:06 > 0:33:07In particular,

0:33:07 > 0:33:10I want you to look at the statements for the Marine Reserve.

0:33:11 > 0:33:13If you would, follow the money!

0:33:13 > 0:33:15Yes, sir!

0:33:15 > 0:33:16- Camille.- Yes.

0:33:16 > 0:33:18See if you can get the police reports.

0:33:18 > 0:33:22Get a list of all the people who lost money in Lindman Investments.

0:33:22 > 0:33:23OK.

0:33:25 > 0:33:27- We have a problem.- What?

0:33:27 > 0:33:29I've just spoken to Lucille.

0:33:29 > 0:33:32She's a systems coordinator on the fifth floor of Government House.

0:33:32 > 0:33:35We had a little thing going on last year, nothing serious,

0:33:35 > 0:33:38just a bit of summer loving and some windsurfing...

0:33:38 > 0:33:41Yes, all right, Dwayne, thank you. spare us the gory details, if you would.

0:33:41 > 0:33:44Yes, of course, sir. Anyway, the fifth floor is where the exam

0:33:44 > 0:33:47board is, and I asked her to check on the sergeant's exam results.

0:33:47 > 0:33:50Dwayne! That is completely unethical.

0:33:51 > 0:33:54- What did she say?- That they were posted out this morning.

0:33:54 > 0:33:57- Posted?- And the post office is closed for the weekend.

0:33:57 > 0:33:59Did she say whether he'd passed?

0:33:59 > 0:34:02She hasn't got a clue. And neither will he until Monday now.

0:34:11 > 0:34:14I checked the list of investors for Lindman UK

0:34:14 > 0:34:17and I've found a Jack Roberts.

0:34:17 > 0:34:18He lost everything he had.

0:34:18 > 0:34:20Ah! At last. Something that makes sense.

0:34:20 > 0:34:22No, not exactly.

0:34:22 > 0:34:26He disappeared. Three years ago, a boating accident -

0:34:26 > 0:34:28he fell from his yacht in La Manche.

0:34:28 > 0:34:29Oh, right - the English Channel.

0:34:29 > 0:34:32- La Manche.- Yeah, it's what I said. The English Channel.

0:34:32 > 0:34:35- Why is it English?- I don't know really, but it's called the English Channel.

0:34:35 > 0:34:39- Was his body found?- No. Still listed as missing, presumed dead.

0:34:42 > 0:34:45I've got it! You were right to make me follow the money.

0:34:45 > 0:34:48- What have you found?- Well, firstly, it seems Mr Powell took out

0:34:48 > 0:34:51cash from his personal account regularly, 2,000 at a time.

0:34:51 > 0:34:53His wife said he liked to carry cash.

0:34:53 > 0:34:56- Yes, but then I checked the marine reserve account.- And?

0:34:56 > 0:34:58All cleared out, two days ago.

0:34:58 > 0:35:00Up to 3 million was wired into a bank

0:35:00 > 0:35:01account in the Cayman Islands. Look.

0:35:01 > 0:35:05Which explains the plane ticket we found. He was going to leave the country.

0:35:05 > 0:35:08- Once a crook, always a crook! - Exactly.- Hold on. This doesn't make any sense.

0:35:08 > 0:35:13We've been assuming Jack Roberts killed Malcolm Powell because of money he lost three years ago.

0:35:13 > 0:35:15And now we discover that Jack Roberts is dead.

0:35:15 > 0:35:18- What?- Yes.- According to this, we have five witnesses who saw him

0:35:18 > 0:35:20swept overboard into the English Channel.

0:35:20 > 0:35:22- La Manche.- Just ignore it.

0:35:22 > 0:35:25Two others dived in to try and rescue him.

0:35:25 > 0:35:28So if Jack Roberts is not our killer,

0:35:28 > 0:35:31what if it's someone using his name to avenge him?

0:35:31 > 0:35:34But why make an appointment to do it for the middle of a charity party?

0:35:34 > 0:35:36In broad daylight - surrounded by so many people?

0:35:36 > 0:35:38Someone who wants to be caught?

0:35:39 > 0:35:40Ah!

0:35:44 > 0:35:47That is the paradox right at the heart of the case, isn't it?

0:35:47 > 0:35:51The only logical reason to kill someone during a daylight party is

0:35:51 > 0:35:54because you want to be seen and yet, no-one saw him commit the murder.

0:35:58 > 0:36:03Maybe that's it. The identity of the killer seemed so obvious, we just accepted it,

0:36:03 > 0:36:07we didn't question it. Right, when you hit a dead end, throw out everything you think you know

0:36:07 > 0:36:12and start again. So, if we dismiss Jack Roberts as a possible suspect for the moment,

0:36:12 > 0:36:14who else could have killed Malcolm Powell?

0:36:14 > 0:36:17At the precise moment the shot was fired, where was everyone?

0:36:19 > 0:36:22The gardener - Duncan Wood - he was in plain view. Could he be the killer?

0:36:22 > 0:36:25- Absolutely not. - The same goes for Vicky Woodward.

0:36:25 > 0:36:26GUNSHOT

0:36:26 > 0:36:30Right, Mark Grainger appeared on the balcony above the study,

0:36:30 > 0:36:34seconds after the gunshot, so he couldn't have done it, either.

0:36:34 > 0:36:36Statements indicate Mrs Powell wasn't actually seen

0:36:36 > 0:36:38when the shot was fired.

0:36:38 > 0:36:40We only saw her when we arrived at the house.

0:36:40 > 0:36:44I think she genuinely loved him. She would be the last on my list.

0:36:44 > 0:36:48In a case of paradoxes, maybe that makes her the most likely.

0:36:48 > 0:36:51No, no, no, no, no, no - there's something else, isn't there?

0:36:51 > 0:36:54There's the other things. There's the... I mean, why was the window left open?

0:36:54 > 0:36:55And the drawer.

0:36:57 > 0:36:59GUNSHOT

0:36:59 > 0:37:03And who made the appointment and drove the car if Jack Roberts had been dead three years?

0:37:03 > 0:37:05It's not possible.

0:37:07 > 0:37:12- You're right sir, it's not possible. If Jack Roberts isn't our killer... - Because he's been dead three years.

0:37:12 > 0:37:15- ..And you're also saying that Mrs Powell can't be...- I don't think so.

0:37:15 > 0:37:18..Then no-one's our killer. Because when Malcolm Powell died,

0:37:18 > 0:37:20everyone was in the garden, weren't they?

0:37:20 > 0:37:23It's not possible to be in two places at the same time.

0:37:23 > 0:37:27- What?- I said it's not possible... - No, I heard you. That's brilliant.

0:37:29 > 0:37:33You can't be in two places at the same time!

0:37:33 > 0:37:35Except, of course you can.

0:37:39 > 0:37:42In fact, that's the only thing that makes any sense!

0:37:56 > 0:37:58Right, you say the victim regularly took out

0:37:58 > 0:38:01bundles of cash in 2,000 chunks.

0:38:01 > 0:38:03- Is that right?- Yes, sir.

0:38:09 > 0:38:12- Is the house still sealed off?- It is. We allowed Mrs Powell to stay,

0:38:12 > 0:38:14but the murder scene's been preserved.

0:38:14 > 0:38:19OK, get everyone to the house. First I need a search warrant.

0:38:19 > 0:38:20Yes, sir.

0:38:22 > 0:38:24I want to search the bedroom above the study.

0:38:24 > 0:38:26The murder weapon is not here.

0:38:27 > 0:38:30The house was sealed off. It has to be here.

0:38:33 > 0:38:34Wait.

0:38:36 > 0:38:38Someone has moved the carpet.

0:38:48 > 0:38:50Sorry to have kept you all waiting.

0:38:51 > 0:38:55It's just this case has been a particularly difficult nut to crack.

0:38:57 > 0:39:01It's true that we had eye witnesses placing the killer at the scene.

0:39:01 > 0:39:03Identified as Jack Roberts.

0:39:03 > 0:39:07And we later discovered that Jack Roberts was an investor,

0:39:07 > 0:39:11who was cheated out of his money by Mr Powell's UK company,

0:39:11 > 0:39:13Lindman Investments.

0:39:13 > 0:39:15Which gave us a motive.

0:39:16 > 0:39:19So we had a killer and a motive. Excellent start.

0:39:19 > 0:39:22Until we discovered that Jack Roberts had been missing,

0:39:22 > 0:39:25presumed dead for over three years.

0:39:27 > 0:39:31Around the time you came here from England, was it not?

0:39:31 > 0:39:32Yes.

0:39:33 > 0:39:37So was Jack Roberts our killer or not?

0:39:37 > 0:39:39Was he dead or alive?

0:39:39 > 0:39:42To be honest, I didn't hold out much hope we'd ever find him.

0:39:43 > 0:39:46But in fact, he's in this very room.

0:39:46 > 0:39:48Or at least the real killer is.

0:39:48 > 0:39:52The one who used the name of Jack Roberts to create

0:39:52 > 0:39:54something of an elaborate illusion.

0:39:54 > 0:39:56You see, this was to be the perfect murder.

0:39:56 > 0:39:59Predicated on the fact that Mr Powell had

0:39:59 > 0:40:02a reputation for being less than honest with other people's money.

0:40:02 > 0:40:05Just tell me who killed my husband?

0:40:05 > 0:40:08Well, it's obvious, when you think about it.

0:40:08 > 0:40:12There's only one person here with the organisational skills

0:40:12 > 0:40:15necessary to pull off such a meticulously-planned murder.

0:40:15 > 0:40:19It was you, Vicky, the secretary. You killed Malcolm Powell.

0:40:20 > 0:40:21What!?

0:40:21 > 0:40:24Just as it was you who emptied the charity's bank accounts.

0:40:24 > 0:40:27And bought the plane ticket in his name to make it

0:40:27 > 0:40:29look like he was about to skip the country.

0:40:29 > 0:40:31I'm sorry, you saw me!

0:40:31 > 0:40:34I was in the garden when he was killed!

0:40:35 > 0:40:38Ah, yes, you were, weren't you?

0:40:38 > 0:40:41And you can't be in two places at the same time, can you?

0:40:41 > 0:40:44Therefore - logically - seeing as you're the killer...

0:40:45 > 0:40:48Mr Powell must have been killed at a different time.

0:40:48 > 0:40:52A fact that I was able to prove about ten minutes ago

0:40:52 > 0:40:56when I found the murder weapon. in the bedroom above the study.

0:40:56 > 0:40:58The house was sealed off, it has to be here.

0:41:01 > 0:41:03Perhaps you can tell me

0:41:03 > 0:41:06why did everyone hear the shot that killed Mr Powell

0:41:06 > 0:41:12when the gun that was used to fire it was fitted with a silencer?

0:41:12 > 0:41:14There were two shots fired that day, weren't there?

0:41:14 > 0:41:19- One with the silencer and one without.- Two shots?

0:41:19 > 0:41:22So, you're saying she had what an accomplice?

0:41:22 > 0:41:25No, Mark. I'm saying she had two.

0:41:25 > 0:41:28As you well know because you were one of them.

0:41:28 > 0:41:29That can't be true.

0:41:29 > 0:41:31And you were the other. Weren't you, Duncan?

0:41:31 > 0:41:34Because this wasn't one person masquerading as Jack Roberts,

0:41:34 > 0:41:37it was three!

0:41:37 > 0:41:40You see this was a plan hatched between lovers.

0:41:41 > 0:41:43The all-knowing, ever present

0:41:43 > 0:41:47trusted personal assistant and her gardener boyfriend.

0:41:47 > 0:41:50I'm not really sure at what point they enlisted you, Mark.

0:41:50 > 0:41:54Perhaps they knew you were in financial difficulties.

0:41:54 > 0:41:56Er, Mark Grainger, he's working double shifts.

0:41:56 > 0:41:59How do you know all this?

0:41:59 > 0:42:00Well, it's simple, really.

0:42:00 > 0:42:03If the real Jack Roberts died three years ago - as he almost certainly

0:42:03 > 0:42:07did - then the three people who claim to have seen him and who

0:42:07 > 0:42:12all gave an identical description of him, must be in cahoots.

0:42:12 > 0:42:14This wasn't about revenge,

0:42:14 > 0:42:16this was about stealing 3 million.

0:42:16 > 0:42:19Miss Woodward would have known about Jack Roberts -

0:42:19 > 0:42:21the fact his body was never found.

0:42:21 > 0:42:25How dramatic, a man who lost everything,

0:42:25 > 0:42:28returned from the dead to wreak his terrible revenge.

0:42:28 > 0:42:34The perfect stooge, to provide each of you with the perfect alibi.

0:42:34 > 0:42:37It began with Mark driving the car to the house.

0:42:37 > 0:42:40We all saw the car arrive but couldn't see who was driving.

0:42:44 > 0:42:47Well, I'll go and meet him. I'll show him into the study?

0:42:47 > 0:42:50To be met by Vicky, as arranged.

0:42:50 > 0:42:52But rather than show him into the study,

0:42:52 > 0:42:55she let him make his way upstairs.

0:42:56 > 0:42:59She then went to get her employer bringing him back to the house.

0:42:59 > 0:43:05Once in the study, she went to her desk, opened the drawer,

0:43:05 > 0:43:09took out her gun and shot Malcolm Powell through the heart.

0:43:11 > 0:43:14No-one heard anything because she used a silencer.

0:43:14 > 0:43:17She then moved to the window and opened it.

0:43:18 > 0:43:20Mark lowered a bag from upstairs.

0:43:20 > 0:43:23Vicky retrieved the car keys from it then sent him

0:43:23 > 0:43:25the gun in return.

0:43:30 > 0:43:31She then left the house

0:43:31 > 0:43:34stopping only to give her lover Duncan the car keys.

0:43:37 > 0:43:39By the time you exchanged pleasantries with

0:43:39 > 0:43:42Sergeant Bordey Mr Powell was already dead.

0:43:44 > 0:43:46And it was time for the next part of your plan.

0:43:48 > 0:43:50Once he'd removed the silencer and fired the gun again.

0:43:50 > 0:43:53The plan was to make sure he was seen on the balcony within

0:43:53 > 0:43:54seconds of the gun shot.

0:43:54 > 0:43:57Thereby giving both himself and Miss Woodward

0:43:57 > 0:43:59the perfect alibi.

0:43:59 > 0:44:02First of course, you had to hide the gun and the silencer.

0:44:02 > 0:44:06The house was sealed off, but no doubt you intended to come back

0:44:06 > 0:44:09and retrieve it, once we were off on a wild goose chase.

0:44:09 > 0:44:12Which was your next job, wasn't it?

0:44:12 > 0:44:16You made sure we couldn't give chase and then made off in the Mercedes.

0:44:19 > 0:44:23All that was left to do was to leave a false trail for us to follow.

0:44:23 > 0:44:26We were supposed to think that Mr Powell had tried to buy

0:44:26 > 0:44:30Jack Roberts off before he then escaped the island on a boat.

0:44:31 > 0:44:34You dumped and burnt the car.

0:44:34 > 0:44:37You even left behind some cash wraps as the final piece of evidence,

0:44:37 > 0:44:41no doubt collected by Miss Woodward over the preceding months.

0:44:45 > 0:44:48Duncan then made his way around the headland

0:44:48 > 0:44:50as if he'd never been gone.

0:44:50 > 0:44:53And you were left with three cast-iron alibis

0:44:53 > 0:44:57and 3 million in cash, just waiting to be picked up.

0:44:57 > 0:45:00After all, none of you could have been near the study

0:45:00 > 0:45:02when the shot was fired.

0:45:02 > 0:45:07And if that wasn't enough, we'd all seen the killer arrive together,

0:45:07 > 0:45:11heard the shot together, and watched him drive away together.

0:45:13 > 0:45:15The perfect murder.

0:45:17 > 0:45:22For which all three of you will spend the rest of your lives in prison.

0:45:22 > 0:45:23Lock them up.

0:45:50 > 0:45:52You should have been there, Maman. Seriously this time,

0:45:52 > 0:45:55it was brilliant. Genius.

0:45:55 > 0:45:57Ah, I don't know about that.

0:45:57 > 0:45:58Ah, credit where it's due, Chief.

0:45:58 > 0:46:03Well, as much as I'd like to take all the credit, it was a team effort, so thank you.

0:46:03 > 0:46:06Well, we've had some excitement here today, you know.

0:46:06 > 0:46:07Oh, what?

0:46:07 > 0:46:10- Someone broke into the Post Office. - No!

0:46:10 > 0:46:12A window was forced open.

0:46:12 > 0:46:15- Must have been kids. - I guess.

0:46:15 > 0:46:17Although talking about post.

0:46:17 > 0:46:20This arrived for you earlier, Fidel - I forgot to mention it.

0:46:20 > 0:46:23- Wait! Earlier, when? - Earlier. Before now.

0:46:23 > 0:46:24The Post Office was already closed

0:46:24 > 0:46:26when you found out this had been posted.

0:46:26 > 0:46:29Chief, will you take off your detective head? You're amongst friends now.

0:46:29 > 0:46:31If I find out you broke into that Post Office...

0:46:31 > 0:46:34Don't worry. You won't find out.

0:46:34 > 0:46:36Look, can I have it or not?

0:46:36 > 0:46:40I suppose so, although strictly speaking this makes us all accessories.

0:46:40 > 0:46:41I'll risk it.

0:46:59 > 0:47:00I passed!

0:47:02 > 0:47:04Come here.

0:47:04 > 0:47:07- Bravo, Fidel!- Thank you, sir. - Yes, aye!

0:47:11 > 0:47:15Please, carry on. You've done a great job.

0:47:15 > 0:47:18And I hear congratulations are in order, Sergeant Best.

0:47:19 > 0:47:21Yes sir, thank you.

0:47:21 > 0:47:23I just need to give Juliet a call.

0:47:23 > 0:47:26Can I buy you a drink, Commissioner?

0:47:26 > 0:47:28A small rum perhaps, just to mark the occasion.

0:47:28 > 0:47:30Coming right up.

0:47:30 > 0:47:32Could we have a word, please?

0:47:34 > 0:47:36If it's about the Post Office,

0:47:36 > 0:47:40I have five eye witnesses who saw me on the other side of the island, OK?

0:47:42 > 0:47:43Sir.

0:47:43 > 0:47:45Commissioner. Chief.

0:47:47 > 0:47:49Congratulations.

0:47:50 > 0:47:52You have quite a team.

0:47:52 > 0:47:54Yes, yes, I do.

0:47:54 > 0:47:55I've just had a conversation with

0:47:55 > 0:48:01- an Inspector Darwin of the Serious Organised Crime Agency in London. - Oh?

0:48:01 > 0:48:04He headed up the investigation of Malcolm Powell

0:48:04 > 0:48:06and Lindman Investments UK.

0:48:06 > 0:48:07I see. Yeah.

0:48:07 > 0:48:10A substantial amount of the money invested in the company was

0:48:10 > 0:48:12never recovered.

0:48:12 > 0:48:14So I understand.

0:48:14 > 0:48:17He seemed to think the fact we've just charged Powell's assistant

0:48:17 > 0:48:19with his murder might prove useful.

0:48:19 > 0:48:22They want to question her.

0:48:22 > 0:48:24So when are they coming?

0:48:24 > 0:48:27- They want to interview her in London.- Ah, right.

0:48:27 > 0:48:31They want her escorted by a senior officer. I suggested you.

0:48:32 > 0:48:36- Me?- It makes sense. You know the details of the case.

0:48:37 > 0:48:39So, I'd have to go back to London?

0:48:39 > 0:48:41Just for a few days.

0:48:41 > 0:48:45If you took this evening's flight, you'll be there in the morning and back by Friday?

0:48:47 > 0:48:52Well, yeah. I mean that would be great sir, thank you. Wow.

0:48:52 > 0:48:53Your flight leaves at six o'clock,

0:48:53 > 0:48:56I'll have a cab pick you up at your house in an hour.

0:48:56 > 0:48:58I'll have the prisoner taken directly to the airport,

0:48:58 > 0:49:00you can pick her up from there.

0:49:00 > 0:49:02An hour. Crikey.

0:49:02 > 0:49:04I suggest you go home and pack.

0:49:18 > 0:49:21I think he just said I'm going back to London for a few days.

0:49:32 > 0:49:35Oh, I tell you it's a job to know what to pack.

0:49:35 > 0:49:39It will be winter over there, you know. I checked the weather.

0:49:39 > 0:49:41Overcast. Four degrees.

0:49:41 > 0:49:45Ha, ha! It's not even that cold in my fridge.

0:49:46 > 0:49:48But you will be back on Friday?

0:49:48 > 0:49:52Yeah, that's the plan. Of course things might change. You know, not saying they will,

0:49:52 > 0:49:55but, you know being here wasn't really the plan, was it?

0:49:55 > 0:49:58Not exactly. It just sort of happened.

0:49:58 > 0:50:01One minute I was in Croydon and the next...

0:50:04 > 0:50:08I mean, not that I haven't loved it, you know, I have.

0:50:08 > 0:50:11And you and... Well, all of you! You know, the gang.

0:50:11 > 0:50:14Yeah. Loved every minute of it.

0:50:16 > 0:50:19Well, maybe not every minute, you know, in the main.

0:50:19 > 0:50:23Anyway, it's only till Friday. Probably. No need for big goodbyes.

0:50:23 > 0:50:27- Oh, actually I will need someone to look after Harry.- Harry?

0:50:27 > 0:50:28Yeah, my lizard.

0:50:28 > 0:50:32I had to give him a name. I couldn't just keep calling him lizard.

0:50:32 > 0:50:34Only you could call a lizard Harry.

0:50:34 > 0:50:37Yeah, it was in the paper when I was trying to think of a name. Prince Harry.

0:50:37 > 0:50:41I think he looks quite like him. He likes fruit, you know.

0:50:44 > 0:50:48Well, mangoes, and erm... any bugs you can catch.

0:50:48 > 0:50:50You know, he sort of likes it best if you,

0:50:50 > 0:50:52if you mash the bugs up in the fruit.

0:50:54 > 0:50:56No big deal, a couple of times a day.

0:50:56 > 0:50:59Well, in the morning at eight and again at six.

0:50:59 > 0:51:01Don't worry, I'll take care of your lizard.

0:51:06 > 0:51:08Ah! Beer!

0:51:08 > 0:51:09Just what I need.

0:51:13 > 0:51:15You won't come back, will you?

0:51:19 > 0:51:21- Yeah, of course I will. - No, you won't.

0:51:21 > 0:51:23You'll get home, it will be cold and raining

0:51:23 > 0:51:26and you'll have a pint of beer in your pub and

0:51:26 > 0:51:28you'll want to stay there.

0:51:30 > 0:51:31All packed, Chief?

0:51:33 > 0:51:36Yes, well. I mean, not really much to, erm...

0:51:36 > 0:51:38you know, it's only a few days.

0:51:38 > 0:51:40It won't be the same without you, Sir.

0:51:40 > 0:51:42HORN TOOTS

0:51:42 > 0:51:45Oh, gosh, there's my car.

0:51:48 > 0:51:50Yeah, coming!

0:51:50 > 0:51:52I'd better take that, Chief.

0:51:59 > 0:52:01Hold on.

0:52:10 > 0:52:11Right, well...

0:52:11 > 0:52:15- So, we'll see you on Friday then, Sir.- Yep. Absolutely.

0:52:23 > 0:52:25Safe flight, Chief.

0:52:40 > 0:52:41Back before you know it.

0:53:36 > 0:53:38Harry!

0:54:28 > 0:54:30I'm telling you, he's not coming back.

0:54:30 > 0:54:32By the time he gets that cold in his bones

0:54:32 > 0:54:35and that rain in his face, he'll think he's died and gone to heaven.

0:54:35 > 0:54:38No, Dwayne. He'll be back. Won't he, Camille?

0:54:38 > 0:54:40He said he would.

0:54:40 > 0:54:42Of course he did and I'm sure he meant it when he said it.

0:54:42 > 0:54:45- But it'll all be different when he's home.- Yeah, maybe.

0:54:45 > 0:54:47Look, I think the inspector is a man of his word.

0:54:47 > 0:54:49I tell you what though, he was funny.

0:54:49 > 0:54:51It could have been 110 in the shade

0:54:51 > 0:54:54and he'll be sitting there in a suit and tie drinking a cup of tea.

0:54:54 > 0:54:57Moaning about how hot it is! Of course it's hot!

0:54:57 > 0:54:59You've got a woollen suit on!

0:54:59 > 0:55:02Or with the motorbike, he would hold on so tight like that.

0:55:02 > 0:55:04It was like Wallace and Gromit. His knuckles were white.

0:55:04 > 0:55:07I tell him the jeep was being used even when it wasn't,

0:55:07 > 0:55:09just to get him in the sidecar.

0:55:09 > 0:55:12You know what, I have never heard anybody moan like he did.

0:55:12 > 0:55:15It was too hot. The sand was too sandy.

0:55:15 > 0:55:16And the milk wasn't the right milk.

0:55:16 > 0:55:20Well, he'll be somewhere tonight, with a huge plate of fish and chips,

0:55:20 > 0:55:22- a mug of tea and a crossword. - A toast!

0:55:22 > 0:55:26To the most annoying, childish,

0:55:26 > 0:55:29pedantic, funny,

0:55:29 > 0:55:31brilliant man I've ever met.

0:55:31 > 0:55:32Inspector Richard Poole.

0:55:32 > 0:55:34Richard Poole!

0:55:53 > 0:55:54Oh, you look nice.

0:55:54 > 0:55:56What, this?

0:55:56 > 0:55:59It was the first thing I saw when I opened the wardrobe.

0:55:59 > 0:56:03Oh really? I just thought with it being Friday...

0:56:03 > 0:56:04Is it?

0:56:04 > 0:56:07Mm. Which means Richard will be back.

0:56:07 > 0:56:10Well, I suppose it does, I'd forgotten all about it.

0:56:10 > 0:56:13Well, I think the London flight lands at four...

0:56:13 > 0:56:14Yeah, 4:30!

0:56:16 > 0:56:17I think.

0:56:17 > 0:56:19Do you want to go to the airport?

0:56:19 > 0:56:20Of course not. Why would I?

0:56:21 > 0:56:25Anyway, I think the Commissioner is going to meet him.

0:56:25 > 0:56:27So you don't want to do anything special then?

0:56:35 > 0:56:36What time is it?

0:56:37 > 0:56:38Quarter to six.

0:56:38 > 0:56:42So land at half past four, get cases by what five?

0:56:42 > 0:56:43More or less.

0:56:43 > 0:56:46Get to the car. Friday evening traffic, should be here by...

0:56:46 > 0:56:47Quarter to six?

0:56:49 > 0:56:51He'll be here, don't worry.

0:56:51 > 0:56:52The suspense is killing me.

0:56:53 > 0:56:56- What is it? - The Commissioner's car.

0:57:04 > 0:57:05Good evening, team.

0:57:09 > 0:57:11He was on the flight, right?

0:57:11 > 0:57:14Ah. Bit of a problem on that front.

0:57:18 > 0:57:21Too right, there's a problem.

0:57:21 > 0:57:23They lost my luggage. Again!

0:57:23 > 0:57:25That's two flights I've made to this benighted island

0:57:25 > 0:57:27and both times they've lost my luggage!

0:57:27 > 0:57:31It's like they've got some kind of twisted vendetta against me.

0:57:31 > 0:57:33What is the point of having a luggage carousel

0:57:33 > 0:57:35if there's never anything on it! Hmm?

0:57:35 > 0:57:38I mean they should maybe turn it into something else,

0:57:38 > 0:57:41like a revolving fruit and vegetable display or a children's ride.

0:57:41 > 0:57:44I mean they call it paradise, but they've got a very funny idea of what paradise is,

0:57:44 > 0:57:49if it includes walking around in a hundred degree heat in the same pants for a fortnight!

0:57:49 > 0:57:51Welcome home, Chief.

0:57:51 > 0:57:53It's good to have you back.
