0:00:06 > 0:00:09Watch your step - bit tricky along here.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21The nesting site's not far now.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26We overnight ahead, and push on first thing.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Yeah, and I was lucky enough to get to Cyprus, finally.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35- Yeah,- I- did Cyprus. It was OK.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41I got a red-backed shrike and a Bonelli's Eagle on the first day.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Boom.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45- Good Lord.- Yeah, yeah, yeah! I had my own guide.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48I don't know, it was a-mazing.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49I bet it was.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53So, have you ever seen a Bonelli's Eagle, Alec?
0:00:53 > 0:00:55It's OK to say no!
0:00:55 > 0:00:57- I'll make a start with the clearing up, then.- That's MY job.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59No, no, let Doris get her pinny out(!)
0:00:59 > 0:01:01HE LAUGHS
0:01:01 > 0:01:03I'll give you a hand.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06So, are we going to see the Saint-Marie Green tomorrow, Cap?
0:01:06 > 0:01:08I'll do me best, guv, I'll do me best.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11I went to Borneo a couple of months ago.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Did the northern mountain range.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15- Did you see the Serpent Eagle? - I wish.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17They don't think it's going to survive, you know.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- There are only two breeding pairs, last I heard.- That's terrible.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23There were 18 pairs, no more than three years ago.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- What happened?- Poachers.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26What, people steal them?
0:01:26 > 0:01:27The eggs.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30I'm so jealous. I've always wanted to see that part of the world.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- Where else have you been?- This year?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Ah, Madagascar, Vietnam, Nepal on the way back.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Oh, super!
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Yeah, I get away when I can.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Someone should teach him some manners.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43Yes.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45They probably should.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54What do you want me to do? There's no signal up here.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56We can go back now if you want?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59What, miss the chance of seeing the Green?
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Good night's sleep, up at dawn,
0:02:02 > 0:02:05quick bite to eat, then down to the hide.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Look, don't worry, it'll keep.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20BIRD SQUAWKS
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Yasmin? Yasmin?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Don't suppose you fancy a nightcap?
0:02:42 > 0:02:44You know I don't. Now, go to bed!
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Mr Burton, quick, wake up! It's Mr Talbot.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06He's going without you! He's trying to see the Green first.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Look!
0:03:09 > 0:03:10What the...!
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Sneaky...!
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Come on, everyone. Up!
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- Captain Jack?- What is it? - We need to get moving.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- What's going on? - Mr Talbot's already left.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23- Hang on, how long's he been gone? - Minute or so.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- OK, OK, just give me a sec.- Oh, joy!
0:03:26 > 0:03:27You'd better get your trousers on.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Talbot's gone already? It's a bit underhand, even for him.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- Right, come on, everyone. Quickly, come on!- All right, all right!
0:03:33 > 0:03:34BIRDS CHIRP
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- Almost there.- You hear that? That's them!
0:03:38 > 0:03:42- The Greens!- Yeah, I'm worried he's seen them, then scared them away.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50SHE SCREAMS
0:04:31 > 0:04:32SHE WHISTLES
0:04:34 > 0:04:35- Sir?- What?
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Morning.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Ah! Morning, Camille.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Sorry, er, must have, er...
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Oh, you, erm...
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Yeah.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Ah, coffee. What's the occasion?
0:04:51 > 0:04:53- Murder.- Right.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- Two ticks.- Mm-hm.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Oh, you'll need boots - we're off to the jungle.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Excellent!
0:04:59 > 0:05:01What's in the jungle?
0:05:01 > 0:05:02A group of birdwatchers.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04And our victim?
0:05:04 > 0:05:06One of the group. Mark Talbot, British.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Well, we'd better get out there, hadn't we?
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Come on, Camille, no time to dilly-dally!
0:05:30 > 0:05:31Ah, brilliant!
0:05:31 > 0:05:34The parrot reserve - I've been meaning to come here.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48So, what have we got?
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Well, the victim was here as part of a bird-watching tour group.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- Yes, to see the elusive Saint-Marie Green.- Really?- Exciting.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59He travelled here with his wife. She's staying at a local hotel.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00She has been informed.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03He's been stabbed once, through the back and into the heart.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05The knife has the initials MLT engraved on the hilt,
0:06:05 > 0:06:07so we assume it belonged to the victim.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09There are no prints, it's been wiped clean.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12He had a camera on him, a pair of binoculars and nothing's been taken.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- Not robbery, then.- No.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16And this was inside his left shirt pocket.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19One sock?
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Bit odd.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23The other one not hereabouts?
0:06:23 > 0:06:24- Ugh!- Clean!
0:06:24 > 0:06:27One fresh sock. Anything else?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- Er, life list?- Sir?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Life list. Every self-respecting twitcher would have one.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34It'll be a notebook - a list of all the birds they've seen,
0:06:34 > 0:06:35- where, when, etc.- "Twitcher"?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Yes, it's a hardcore birdwatcher.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- Is there something you want to tell us, Chief?- N-No!
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Well, I may have done a bit of bird-watching in my youth.
0:06:46 > 0:06:51Just me, the trees... a lesser-spotted grebe or two.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Right.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- Well, there was no notebook, no.- No.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00So, who found the body?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02The rest of the tour group.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04They were all together when they found him.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05But our man was on his own. Why?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08The staff think he wanted to beat the others to see the bird first.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10So once they saw him go, they followed him here.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- How far behind were they? - About a couple of minutes.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- OK, and where is camp, exactly? - About half a mile that way.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21OK, so tell me about this tour.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23It was an organised trip, two members of staff
0:07:23 > 0:07:26and four guests, all hoping to see the Saint-Marie Green.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- Any sightings?- I didn't ask, Chief. - Pity.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33So, what do we know about the others?
0:07:35 > 0:07:36We have Alec Burton,
0:07:36 > 0:07:39he's from the same bird-watching club as Mr Talbot in the UK.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Seems a bit odd.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45Matthew Webster, specialises in bird photography.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Been on a couple of previous trips with Mr Talbot.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49He's a bit odd too.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Daniel Parish, new to the group.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54He's a birdwatcher, and freelance journalist.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Let me guess - a bit odd?
0:07:56 > 0:07:57How did you know?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59A wild stab in the dark.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04Anyway, Mr Parish got very excited when he talked about the parrot.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Well, to be honest with you, they all did. Very odd.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Odd, perhaps, but not entirely surprising.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10It is, after all, why they're all here.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12And the staff?
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Yasmin Blake, casual worker, just here for the season,
0:08:15 > 0:08:17and Captain Jack Parrot, the tour leader.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Now, I know Captain Jack from way back in the day.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22He's a bit of a rogue, but harmless enough, you know?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24The fellow taking pictures?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Get the camera and any memory cards for me. Could be useful.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28With pleasure, Chief.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31So, apart from our two members of staff
0:08:31 > 0:08:32and three fellow twitchers...
0:08:32 > 0:08:34I can't let you have it - it's actually quite valuable.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- Who else could get in here? - No-one, sir.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Reserve security is pretty tight.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40The Saint-Marie Green is extremely rare
0:08:40 > 0:08:42and protected by the government. It's all fenced off.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Security cameras at the entrance show that no-one else came in
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- or out since the group arrived yesterday.- So what's the likelihood
0:08:48 > 0:08:50of a member of the general public scaling the fence,
0:08:50 > 0:08:52fighting their way through the jungle unnoticed
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- in order to plunge a knife into Mr Talbot's back?- Not very likely.- No.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58It would appear that the world of bird-watching may be slightly
0:08:58 > 0:09:01more cut-throat than one might assume.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Ah! Captain Jack Parrot!
0:09:07 > 0:09:09A triumph of nominative determinism.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10What?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Your name. Parrot.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17- The business you're in. - His real name's Jack Stanton, sir.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18What a shame. Never mind.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22Er, so, tell me, er, how does this tour of yours work, exactly?
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- We've got 16 species of parrot here. - Really?- Yeah!
0:09:26 > 0:09:30But mostly they come to see the, er, Saint-Marie Green.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34They're incredibly rare. Only one nesting pair left.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37I have a deal with the parrot reserve to officially conduct
0:09:37 > 0:09:42tours for interested parties, mainly birdwatchers.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Can you take us through what happened this morning?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46I woke Mr Burton.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47Any particular reason?
0:09:47 > 0:09:50To be honest, I felt a bit sorry for him.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Mr Talbot was always belittling him.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56So, have you ever seen the Bonelli's Eagle, Alec?
0:09:56 > 0:09:57It's OK to say no.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01You felt he was trying to outdo Mr Burton
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- by getting to the Saint-Marie Green first?- Yes.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06How long till you all followed?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Two, three minutes, I suppose.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11I mean, they were all pretty angry.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14And you all stayed together on the trail until you found the body?
0:10:14 > 0:10:15Yes.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20SHE SCREAMS
0:10:22 > 0:10:24It was awful. I mean, that poor man!
0:10:27 > 0:10:30So, you and Miss Blake must've been the last people
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- to see Mr Talbot alive. - Yes, I suppose we were.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35Look!
0:10:36 > 0:10:37What the...?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Sneaky...!
0:10:43 > 0:10:46It wasn't right, sneaking off like that.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Quite. You must have been angry.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Seething, if I'm honest.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52So, you didn't get on?
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Look, he's not...ah, sorry, he WASN'T really my kind of person.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59But you were both twitchers. Members of the same club.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Birders. The correct term is "birders".
0:11:03 > 0:11:07And actually common interest doesn't necessarily guarantee friendship.
0:11:07 > 0:11:12Let's just say, he was a difficult man to like.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13If I'm perfectly honest,
0:11:13 > 0:11:16I can fully understand why someone might want to murder him.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18But, er, it certainly wasn't me.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Did you know Mr Talbot well?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Er, no, no, look, when can I get my camera back?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28But you'd been on trips with him before?
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Once...once or twice maybe.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- It's very valuable, you know.- Yeah.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Were you the last one up this morning?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37No, that was Dan Parish, I think.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38Come on, everyone. Up!
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- Hang on, how long's he been gone? - Minute or so.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43You'd better get your trousers on.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46The rest of the group - did you form any impression of them?
0:11:46 > 0:11:47Not really.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51No, look, I can come to the station if that...if that helps.
0:11:51 > 0:11:52No, that won't be necessary,
0:11:52 > 0:11:55we're just trying to establish your relationship with Mr Talbot.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56I need to get my camera!
0:11:58 > 0:12:00So, you're a journalist?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Well, I write the odd article for the bird magazines.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- This one might make the dailies, though, right?- Indeed.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- Been in the wars? - It's just a scratch.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13I free climb.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15- Free climb?- Yeah.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16No ropes.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Hell of a rush, you should try it some time.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Yes, well, I've never been much good at climbing.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Falling down, I am good at. A dab hand, you might say!
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Were you aware of any antagonism between Mr Talbot and Mr Burton?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Well, that was the first time we'd met,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36but Talbot did seem to enjoy winding him up.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Let Doris get her pinny out!
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Did he have problems with anyone else?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Let's just say he was never going to win the prize
0:12:43 > 0:12:46for the most popular campmate. He was fine with me.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Do you have a card? In case I run into something later?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Yes, that'll be all, I think, for now.- Well...
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- you know where I am.- Yes, we do.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58You seem to have made quite an impression on him.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Rather inappropriate, given the circumstances.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Not that I'm saying you'd be interested in someone like that.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- Like what?- Er, well, you know...- No. - Well, a suspect in a murder inquiry.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Ah, yes, you're right, I wouldn't be interested.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- Yes.- But besides, I've already got a date for tonight.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19You want us to release everyone, Chief?
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Erm, er, er, yes.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Er, yes, I think you can.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33From the moment Miss Blake woke them up,
0:13:33 > 0:13:36after seeing the victim leaving for the hide,
0:13:36 > 0:13:38everyone was in clear sight of everyone else.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40So none of them could have killed him.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Yet, if we're to believe this area is inaccessible to anyone else,
0:13:43 > 0:13:44one of them MUST have.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46So, it's impossible.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Yet the murder can't be impossible,
0:13:48 > 0:13:50because Mr Talbot is very dead indeed.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52So sorry, Dwayne.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- Ah, sir?- Yes? - Is this what you're looking for?
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Yes! It is, yes!
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Wonderful.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Mmm, right.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05So, he gets up early,
0:14:05 > 0:14:07he heads down the path to see the Saint-Marie Green.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09He takes his camera, his knife,
0:14:09 > 0:14:12but not his life list in which he meticulously details every sighting.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16And yet, why, of all things, does he take one clean sock?
0:14:16 > 0:14:17It really doesn't make any sense.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19- Oh!- Ow!
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- Thank you.- You're welcome.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25- Uh-oh!- What?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27That's going to stain, Chief.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Yes, well, I'll change later.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33For now I think we should go and speak to Mr Talbot's widow.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34Yep.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Where can we find Mrs Talbot?
0:14:38 > 0:14:41At the same hotel as the birdwatchers.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42I wonder what he's up to.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45Camille.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Something we can help you with?
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Got a few things to do.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57What sort of things?
0:14:58 > 0:14:59Parrot stuff.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Well, I'm afraid this is now a crime scene.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04We'll let you know when you can come back.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15We're so sorry for your loss.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16We'll be as brief as we can.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Thank you.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21We have to ask -
0:15:21 > 0:15:24do you know why anyone might have wanted to harm your husband?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Not enough to want to kill him.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Are you aware of anything untoward happening
0:15:30 > 0:15:32since you arrived on, er, on Saint-Marie?
0:15:34 > 0:15:37He was gone within an hour of me unpacking.
0:15:37 > 0:15:42Went off to the jungle to see his precious bloody parrot.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- You don't share his interest in birds?- God, no.
0:15:46 > 0:15:51I didn't mind him doing it, he wasn't so good with...all of this.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Were you aware of any problems with the other birdwatchers?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56As I said, he didn't bore me with it.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59So, you didn't get to know any of them?
0:15:59 > 0:16:00I was married to one,
0:16:00 > 0:16:03I certainly didn't seek out the company of others.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Did your husband own a hunting knife? With an engraving -
0:16:06 > 0:16:08the, er, the initials MLT?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Yes. Mark Lawrence Talbot.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14He got it in Piccadilly. It cost him a fortune.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- That wasn't...?- Sorry.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28It appears your husband left camp early in an attempt
0:16:28 > 0:16:29to get ahead of the others.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Is that something you'd expect of him?
0:16:33 > 0:16:34No, not really.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39He was competitive, but Mark was also a stickler for the rules,
0:16:39 > 0:16:41doing things by the book.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44He liked things to be just so.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49He's not coming back, is he?
0:16:50 > 0:16:54Not going to rock up with his big, daft smile
0:16:54 > 0:16:56and stupid, stupid shorts.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00We can do this another time.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02No, really, it's fine.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05I just feel so awful.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08It happened this morning, right? Early?
0:17:08 > 0:17:13I was having a massage. I couldn't sleep, so I went down to the spa.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16It must have been about the same time...
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Please, please, don't upset yourself.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21We'll leave it there for now.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23If it makes it any better...
0:17:25 > 0:17:28..he may very well have seen the Saint-Marie Green.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32How on earth would that make it any better?
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Well, he's a bird...watch...er.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38I just thought...
0:17:38 > 0:17:39I'm sorry.
0:17:42 > 0:17:43I'm sorry, too.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- A very impressive woman, Camille. - Oh? Yeah?
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- For her age, I mean. Very...- Hot?
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- Well preserved.- Mmmm, but you wouldn't be interested in her.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59Heavens, no.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03- Because?- Because...
0:18:05 > 0:18:06Because she's recently widowed?
0:18:06 > 0:18:10No! Because she's a suspect in a murder enquiry.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11Is she?
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Yes. She just volunteered an alibi - one we never asked for.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Yes, she did! Very well spotted, Camille.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Now, why on earth would she feel the need to do that?
0:18:28 > 0:18:31So, Mark Talbot, 51.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Tax accountant for a big City firm.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Apparently he did very well,
0:18:35 > 0:18:40made partner and enough money to retire at the age of 45.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Since then, he's thrown himself into his hobby.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Yes. If there's money, we need to know who stood to gain.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46The wife could have motive.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48But the spa just confirmed her alibi.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Can't say I'm surprised.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Logically, it had to be one of the tour group.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Yes, but they were all together from the moment
0:18:54 > 0:18:56he left the camp, right up to discovering his body.
0:18:56 > 0:18:57So, three questions.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Who, why and how?
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Yes. Matthew Webster. Photographer.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Had been on previous trips with the victim.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Is there something he's not telling us?
0:19:06 > 0:19:08His camera and his memory cards are on your desk, Chief.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Thank you. Next, Daniel Parish.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Freelance journalist, birdwatcher, daredevil.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Hasn't travelled with any of the others before.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Would he really want to kill someone he hardly knew?
0:19:19 > 0:19:21And, Dwayne, can you tell us about Captain Jack?
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Couple of previous convictions for receiving.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Always looking to make a fast buck wherever he can.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28He's been married five times.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30F...five?
0:19:30 > 0:19:31Yes!
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Bit of a ladies' man - bit like yourself, eh, Dwayne?
0:19:35 > 0:19:39No, Chief. He's been married five times.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40Right. Yes, of course.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Well, he seemed jumpy.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- Indeed.- Knowing Jack, he'll be up to something somewhere.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46- But murder?- Hmm.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48OK, next. Yasmin Blake.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Well, she's been travelling, got the job at the start of the season.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53Any links to the victim?
0:19:53 > 0:19:54None.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56But one of them wanted Mark Talbot dead.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Which is the cuckoo in this particular nest?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- HANGS UP PHONE - OK! That was the victim's club secretary.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05She told me Mr Talbot and Mr Burton have history.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07At the Christmas lunch they came to blows,
0:20:07 > 0:20:09and Mr Burton threatened to kill him.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12And now you move to the top of our list.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16Leave it to me!
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- If you say so. Thank you.- Go.- Yes.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Right, I think we should go and speak to Mr Burton again.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24- Fidel?- Sir.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27If the witnesses are to be believed, there is, at best,
0:20:27 > 0:20:30a three-minute window from when Mr Talbot disappeared from sight
0:20:30 > 0:20:32to when the others decided to go after him.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34So, the question is this -
0:20:34 > 0:20:37could someone have left the camp, got down to the hide, stabbed
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Mr Talbot in the back, and then returned in under three minutes?
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- Leave that with us, sir.- Excellent.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45- There is something wrong with that board.- Yeah, must be.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47So, you'd better get back out to the jungle, then.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Great!
0:20:50 > 0:20:52I was really hoping you'd ask ME, you know?
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- Really?- Yes, you see...
0:20:56 > 0:21:00..if I can prove that Burton could get to the hide, kill the victim
0:21:00 > 0:21:03and get back on time, I'd have virtually solved the case!
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Hey, I might even get promoted!
0:21:08 > 0:21:10We'd both be sergeants.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Only, I'm older, which would probably make me more senior.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16But that wouldn't matter, er, you know,
0:21:16 > 0:21:20I would never, you know, lord it over you or anything like that.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23No! My reward would come from being the man
0:21:23 > 0:21:26who solved one of the Chief's cond...cond...
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- What does he call that thing again? - Conundrums?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- Exactly!- Yes.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Dwayne Myers, the man who solved
0:21:34 > 0:21:38the bird-watching twitcher murder conundrum!
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Hey! And who knows -
0:21:40 > 0:21:43I could be commissioner one day, you know!
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- Yes, ai.- Yes, ai.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46BEEPING
0:22:17 > 0:22:18Gee, man!
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Merci.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Mr Burton?
0:22:53 > 0:22:57Blue-backed Manakins. There's a colony across the way there.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59It is a bit common for around here,
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- but we don't get them back home, do we?- Mr Burton?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Oh, look, there's a juvenile, trying to make a name for himself.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Mr Burton? Hello.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11We've, er, spoken to your club secretary.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Must've been, er, checking up on me, then?
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Well, this IS a murder inquiry.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Christmas lunch, you and Mr Talbot came to blows.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25There were threats. Why didn't you tell us about that?
0:23:26 > 0:23:29He was being his usual obnoxious self.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Much like he was last night, by all accounts.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Exactly like he was being last night.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Was it to do with your wife?
0:23:37 > 0:23:40You just, er, keep touching your ring finger,
0:23:40 > 0:23:43touching something that isn't there anymore - your wedding ring.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Yeah, my, er, my wife,
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Pamela. She left me.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56November 5th. Ten days before our 16th anniversary.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00I'm...I'm sorry. Really.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04That Christmas lunch, the first time I'd ventured out -
0:24:04 > 0:24:06actually more than that, it was the first social occasion
0:24:06 > 0:24:09I'd been to without her for 16 years.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Mark found that rather amusing.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Even offered an opinion as to why she left me,
0:24:15 > 0:24:18wondered why she hadn't left me sooner.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Said I was dull and boring.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Yeah, all true, course.
0:24:25 > 0:24:26So, yes.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Yes, we came to blows.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31The red mist descended, I wanted to kill him.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35If I'd had a knife in my hand that day...
0:24:37 > 0:24:38..would I have used it?
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Yes, I probably would.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Wow! He really didn't like Mark Talbot.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52- Perhaps with good reason. - But how could he have done it?
0:24:52 > 0:24:54See, we keep coming back to that.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57We must be missing something. Someone has to be lying.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58- The two Ds.- The what?
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Diligence and detail.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02We go back through the statements, find the inconsistencies.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21So we have a motive for Alec Burton.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24You really think he's capable of murder?
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Anyone's capable of murder if suitably riled.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Riled?
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Absolutely. Even the most sunny of disposition and mild of manner.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34It's all a question of trigger - the right spot to tweak, if you will.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Yes. And...
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Yeah...
0:25:38 > 0:25:40So you said you had a date tonight?
0:25:40 > 0:25:45Yes, another one of Maman's ideas.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49He, erm, he's the nephew of a friend of hers, I think.
0:25:49 > 0:25:50Oh, you've never met him?
0:25:50 > 0:25:51No.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- Gosh. A blind date, how exciting. - Mm-hm.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57Do you know anything about him? What does he do for a living?
0:25:57 > 0:25:58Models swimwear.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Really? Is that a profession?
0:26:01 > 0:26:03I think so.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Yes, I never had much luck when my mother organised dates for me,
0:26:09 > 0:26:11even my wi... Sally and I... Well, we're getting divorced,
0:26:11 > 0:26:15so, er, that wasn't exactly the best outcome, was it?
0:26:18 > 0:26:20- You need to see this.- Yes.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23In his statement, Matthew Webster says
0:26:23 > 0:26:25he heard an exchange between Mark Talbot and Yasmin Blake
0:26:25 > 0:26:28after dinner, the night before he was killed.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29What do you want me to do?
0:26:29 > 0:26:33There's no signal up here. We can go back now if you want?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35What - miss the chance of seeing the Green?
0:26:37 > 0:26:41- Miss Blake didn't mention it? - No, she didn't.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47I guess I forgot. I mean, you don't think it could be important?
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Oh, it could be. Do you remember who Mr Talbot was trying to call?
0:26:51 > 0:26:53His wife, I think.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Do you have any idea why?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Maybe they're inseparable, I don't know! Look, I'm staff.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00I run the camp, clean up after them.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02He's not likely to tell ME, is he?
0:27:02 > 0:27:03Did he seem worried?
0:27:03 > 0:27:05It was hard to tell with him.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Is there anything you haven't told us? Anything at all?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09It could be vital.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12No, I don't think so. Look, I'm sorry.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16You started at the reserve two months ago?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Is this your first time on the island?
0:27:18 > 0:27:21First time in the Caribbean. Last year I did Cambodia and Vietnam.
0:27:21 > 0:27:22Amazing.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Do you always use the same route for the tour of the reserve?
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Since I've been here.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Captain Jack takes us to the feeding grounds on day one, then we bed down
0:27:31 > 0:27:35at base camp, and go to the hide by the nesting sites in the morning.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Look, if there's nothing else, I really need to get on.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43No, that'll do, I think, for now.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Thank you, then.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08HE GASPS
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Why would Mark Talbot want to call his wife?
0:28:17 > 0:28:19He'd been gone less than a day, and from what I saw,
0:28:19 > 0:28:21she was clearly in her element.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Maybe he was using her as an excuse?
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Let's see if the photographs from Matthew Webster's camera have
0:28:27 > 0:28:29finished downloading - maybe there'll be something there.
0:28:29 > 0:28:34Come on, darling, what about dinner at the Bay Cove? ..Really?!
0:28:34 > 0:28:36DWAYNE LAUGHS
0:28:36 > 0:28:38That's odd.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40What is?
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Look at these pictures of Mark Talbot.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45In every one he's walking with a cane.
0:28:49 > 0:28:50Dwayne?
0:28:50 > 0:28:51Chief?
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Was there a walking cane found at the scene?
0:28:53 > 0:28:56- No, Chief.- At the camp?
0:28:56 > 0:28:57No.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59Then, where is it?
0:29:01 > 0:29:04..I'll bring my friend Ronnie.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07HE WHISTLES
0:29:09 > 0:29:10Oh!
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Did the coppers mention me?
0:29:15 > 0:29:16I don't think so.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18What do you mean, you don't think so?
0:29:18 > 0:29:20They either did or they didn't.
0:29:20 > 0:29:21No, they didn't.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23So what were they asking you?
0:29:23 > 0:29:26Someone told them Mr Talbot wanted to call someone.
0:29:29 > 0:29:30Who?
0:29:30 > 0:29:31His wife.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Jack? What's going on?
0:29:41 > 0:29:44OK, so I worked within the three-minute window -
0:29:44 > 0:29:47from the group losing sight of Mr Talbot
0:29:47 > 0:29:50to them all heading down the trail together.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53First, on the main route from the camp to the hide...
0:29:53 > 0:29:56Then on two further routes I discovered - here to the east,
0:29:56 > 0:29:58and another one to the west.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01The jungle is too thick elsewhere for quick progress.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04The different routes allow for multiple permutations,
0:30:04 > 0:30:06- all of which I've tried. - And your best time?
0:30:06 > 0:30:086 minutes 52.9 seconds.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11So, none of them could have left the camp, got down to the hide,
0:30:11 > 0:30:13killed Mark Talbot and got back in time?
0:30:13 > 0:30:16- No, sir. - So how the hell did they do it?
0:30:16 > 0:30:18- Oh, and one more question.- Sir.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Don't suppose you found a cane?
0:30:34 > 0:30:37The man is observed leaving camp.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39Look!
0:30:43 > 0:30:46The group follows and discovers his murdered body.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49WOMAN SCREAMS
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Logically, only someone from that group must have done it.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55And yet none of them was out of sight of the others.
0:30:55 > 0:30:56Tricky.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00Yes, you are, as ever, the master of understatement, Dwayne.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Mark Talbot was trying to make a call, but we don't know to whom.
0:31:03 > 0:31:04That feels quite important.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07He was using a walking cane which seems to have disappeared.
0:31:07 > 0:31:08Which is a bit of a mystery.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11He went to see one of the rarest birds on the planet,
0:31:11 > 0:31:13but didn't take his life list. Puzzling.
0:31:13 > 0:31:14But he did take a single sock.
0:31:14 > 0:31:19Which is just weird but does seem to be quite important, somehow.
0:31:19 > 0:31:20We're missing something.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Maybe we should talk to Captain Jack again.
0:31:23 > 0:31:24You won't get nothing from him.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27He's been interviewed a hell of a lot over the years.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30- He is at the centre of all this. - We could watch him.
0:31:30 > 0:31:31It's not a bad idea.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34- Dwayne, do you have any plans for this evening?- Well...
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Excellent. Then a spot of surveillance on Captain Jack,
0:31:36 > 0:31:39- if you will, thank you.- Chief.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47Yes, well, it is getting quite late,
0:31:47 > 0:31:49not sure we can achieve much more today.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Perhaps we could look over Matthew Webster's
0:31:52 > 0:31:53photographs at the shack?
0:31:53 > 0:31:55I've perfected the art of tuna pasta.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Ah.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- What?- Normally, this would be nice.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03- You've got your date!- Sorry.
0:32:03 > 0:32:04- The swimwear model.- Mm-hm.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07No, no, gosh, don't apologise. A night out on the town.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09I should be going...
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Yes. Ah, you know what?
0:32:12 > 0:32:14I don't really feel much like cooking.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Maybe I could just pop out and fetch something to eat.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19That's a good idea.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Yes, and it's fish night at your mother's tonight, isn't it?
0:32:22 > 0:32:24- Yes.- Marvellous. I love fish.
0:32:45 > 0:32:46You'll be late.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48All right, Maman.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51- Be nice.- Hmmm.
0:32:53 > 0:32:54Good evening, sir.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19BIRDS CALL
0:33:36 > 0:33:40Here are the menus. The special dish today is chicken.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Can I get you a drink?
0:33:44 > 0:33:47A cocktail? Two cocktails?
0:33:58 > 0:34:00It's hard work, you know?
0:34:00 > 0:34:03Have to stick to a strict regime.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Skin, hair, teeth and eyes... twice a day.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10So that's moisturise, conditioner, floss and drops.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12- Eyes are so important, don't you think?- Oh, yes.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14I mean, I know it's swimwear
0:34:14 > 0:34:16and eyes are going to be travelling south,
0:34:16 > 0:34:20but the camera picks out your eyes, so I try and talk through them.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Smile with the eyes -
0:34:23 > 0:34:25"smeyes."
0:34:25 > 0:34:29Then I wax chest and back weekly, sack and crack monthly.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Yes, hold that thought. Thank you.
0:34:42 > 0:34:43Hey.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Hey.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Can I buy you a drink?
0:34:47 > 0:34:51No, thank you, I'm here with someone. Never mind.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54I've just seen Yasmin Blake - was she here to see you?
0:34:54 > 0:34:57- The girl from the reserve?- Yes.
0:34:57 > 0:34:58Why would she be?
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Thought you might be able to tell ME.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Well, whatever she was here for, it wasn't for me.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05You sure I can't buy you that drink?
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Positive. Thank you.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Have a feel of that.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26- You see?- Yeah. - All the hard work, that.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29- So where did you find it? - Not far from the main path.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33- Discarded, maybe? - Or lost in a struggle.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36Yes, possibly. Isn't that Captain Jack?
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Psssst.
0:35:40 > 0:35:41Was that you?
0:35:41 > 0:35:43No.
0:35:43 > 0:35:44Psssst.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Sounds like a puncture.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51It's me, Chief.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53What are you doing?
0:35:53 > 0:35:55I'm on surveillance.
0:35:55 > 0:35:56Captain Jack.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00- Go and drink somewhere else!- Why?
0:36:00 > 0:36:02You have to ask? He can see you!
0:36:02 > 0:36:04But, Dwayne, we're not on surveillance.
0:36:04 > 0:36:05Yeah, but he don't know that!
0:36:05 > 0:36:08Won't it look suspicious if we just got up and went?
0:36:08 > 0:36:12OK, maybe I'll just come and sit with you guys, and have a drink.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14Yes, but won't he see you?
0:36:14 > 0:36:16But he'll think I'm with YOU.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18But you're on surveillance.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21You know, you're right dopey sometimes.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Look, sir, I'd better go. It's getting late
0:36:23 > 0:36:26and I'm aching in places I didn't even know I had places.
0:36:26 > 0:36:27I'll process this in the morning.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30Yes, excellent, Fidel. Thank you. Good work.
0:36:30 > 0:36:31- Night, sir.- Night.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34Oh, and, er, night, Dwayne.
0:36:34 > 0:36:35Night!
0:36:35 > 0:36:39I don't know. I'm giving up.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45- Fancy a drink?- Oh, no, thanks.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48So it's just me, then. Great.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50Dwayne!
0:36:51 > 0:36:52Yes, Chief?
0:36:52 > 0:36:55Since the, er, surveillance is getting us nowhere,
0:36:55 > 0:36:59why don't you try plying him with alcohol?
0:36:59 > 0:37:03Worth a go. He loves a drink.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08Hey, Jack. Te mal.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13- I hear you're working on surveillance.- How you know that?
0:37:13 > 0:37:16Somebody tell me they see you working in your undercover shirt.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Oh, this! Yes, I am!
0:37:20 > 0:37:22Who you watching, man?
0:37:22 > 0:37:25Doesn't matter. Buy you a drink?
0:37:25 > 0:37:27- Sure, man!- Come now!
0:37:37 > 0:37:40HE CLEARS THROAT
0:37:40 > 0:37:44- Mm.- Ah. Already sorted.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47Thought that might be a thing we were doing now, but obviously not.
0:37:47 > 0:37:48Fidel?
0:37:49 > 0:37:53Right, I might be climbing the walls. Anything on the cane?
0:37:53 > 0:37:57Actually, yes, it's semi-porous, so it's difficult to lift prints.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59A partial from the victim, a few smudges,
0:37:59 > 0:38:00but there's nothing that we can use.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03Would you mind showing me exactly where you found it?
0:38:03 > 0:38:04Yes, sure.
0:38:04 > 0:38:09Um, I found it...just...here.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12Halfway along the track.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15- Sir, Mr Talbot's lawyers got back to us.- Mmm...
0:38:15 > 0:38:19Mrs Talbot inherits around £3.2 million.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22It's just a pity she was nowhere near him when he was killed.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24- No, I think I can help with that. - Excuse me?
0:38:24 > 0:38:26- She didn't need to be. - An accomplice?
0:38:26 > 0:38:29Maybe. Look at these. I found them last night...
0:38:29 > 0:38:31among Matthew Webster's ornithological studies.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35- And she said she didn't know any of the group.- Yes, she lied.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Few too many perhaps, Dwayne?
0:38:42 > 0:38:47Right, let's see what Mr Webster has to say for himself first, shall we?
0:38:49 > 0:38:51DWAYNE MOANS
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Coffee.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02This isn't really a very good time. Can't this wait?
0:39:02 > 0:39:04No, it can't, I'm afraid.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Oh, just let them in, Matthew.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Well, that confirms a theory
0:39:17 > 0:39:20and scraps an initial line of questioning.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24You lied to us.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26You said you didn't know anyone of the group.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29A mistake on my part. I didn't want to complicate matters.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32You deliberately withheld information.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34You're reading too much into things.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Look...we're just friends.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Ah, for heaven's sake, Matthew, stop pussyfooting around.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43A while ago we had a...liaison.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46It was last August, we were on another birding trip,
0:39:46 > 0:39:49and, well, I'd seen Gloria with Mark before
0:39:49 > 0:39:51but we'd never spoken, not properly.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55Mark went off to look at another nesting site that he'd found.
0:39:55 > 0:39:56I came back to the hotel.
0:39:56 > 0:40:02I was upset. I'd been abandoned and, well, Matthew was very kind.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05We had a glorious afternoon. Nothing more.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07You really expect us to believe that?
0:40:07 > 0:40:11I really don't care what you believe. It's the truth.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14- Your husband never suspected? - Lord, no.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17If he'd found out, he would have killed me. Both of us.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Something you no longer need to worry about.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Your husband was trying to make a phone call
0:40:22 > 0:40:24the night before he was murdered.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27Do you have any idea who he might have wanted to call?
0:40:27 > 0:40:32No. Look, Inspector, despite what you may believe,
0:40:32 > 0:40:33I loved my husband.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37He could be a pain, but he was a good man...
0:40:37 > 0:40:39and I expect you to find his killer.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42She has 3.2 million reasons to want him dead.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44And her lover was on the scene, but what use is that
0:40:44 > 0:40:47if we're no closer to working out how he could have done it,
0:40:47 > 0:40:49- or how ANY of them could have done it?- Are you riled?
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Yes, Camille, I most definitely am.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55So, how was your date?
0:40:55 > 0:40:58- It wasn't great. - Do you want to talk about it?
0:40:58 > 0:40:59No, not really.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02Though I did see Yasmin Blake at Birds Of Paradise Hotel.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Oh? You think she was there to see one of the group?
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Maybe. So what do you want to do?
0:41:08 > 0:41:12See if Dwayne's drunk enough coffee to tell us about Captain Jack.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16Oh! I really thought I could drink, you know,
0:41:16 > 0:41:18but that man's not human, Chief.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20- You've been very brave. - Thank you, Sarge.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24Yes, maybe there's a commendation I can put you forward for(!)
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Do you actually remember anything?
0:41:26 > 0:41:27Of course I do.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29So?
0:41:29 > 0:41:31No-one really liked Mark Talbot.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34He was a little too full of himself, you know?
0:41:34 > 0:41:37Matthew Webster kept away from him.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Oh! We can guess why that was.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Jack didn't really like Daniel Parish or Alec Burton.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45He also said that Yasmin Blake was a tease.
0:41:45 > 0:41:46First she was all over him -
0:41:46 > 0:41:50as soon as she got the job she turned into the ice queen.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52- Mmm. Is that it?- Pretty much.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54You don't think he was hiding something?
0:41:54 > 0:41:57If he is, the amount I'd have to drink to get it out of him,
0:41:57 > 0:41:59I could die, Chief.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Yes. Yes, well, I think you can stand down for now.
0:42:02 > 0:42:03Thanks, Chief.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07Come on, think! What are we missing?
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Why did he discard his cane halfway down the trail?
0:42:12 > 0:42:14If he was going to see the Saint-Marie Green
0:42:14 > 0:42:15and to do so before the others,
0:42:15 > 0:42:18why did he not take his life list to log the sighting?
0:42:18 > 0:42:22Who was he trying to call? And why, oh, why,
0:42:22 > 0:42:25only take one...clean...sock?
0:42:34 > 0:42:38You know, it's a long way from the innocent pastime of my youth.
0:42:38 > 0:42:42I'm sorry, I don't get what you see in it. It's boring.
0:42:42 > 0:42:46Sometimes boredom is just the ticket.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49You know, big house, big family, when you're the youngest,
0:42:49 > 0:42:51and the joke is generally on you, even when you still can't
0:42:51 > 0:42:54really see what the joke actually is and why it's funny.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58It's not boring at all. It's... It's compelling - joyous, even.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01You know, I once spent two whole weeks
0:43:01 > 0:43:04watching a house sparrow nest, waiting for the eggs to hatch,
0:43:04 > 0:43:06the pair coming and going,
0:43:06 > 0:43:08taking it in turns to keep the eggs warm.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12It was two of the happiest weeks of my life.
0:43:14 > 0:43:19- Eggs. Eggs.- Sir?
0:43:19 > 0:43:20Could it really be that simple?
0:43:26 > 0:43:28Fidel! In all the statements the victim talked about egg thefts.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31See what you can find out. Quick as you can, please.
0:43:31 > 0:43:33Check with the club first.
0:43:39 > 0:43:40That's it!
0:43:47 > 0:43:48It has to be it!
0:43:48 > 0:43:52Look to the simple first, Humphrey, always the simple first.
0:43:52 > 0:43:54You've got it?
0:43:54 > 0:43:57I think I've got a "why" or a possible "why".
0:43:57 > 0:44:01And, of course, I've got a possible "how". No, it's the ONLY "how".
0:44:01 > 0:44:02OK. What about the "who"?
0:44:02 > 0:44:04Well, the "who" is kind of easy.
0:44:04 > 0:44:08Once you have the "how", it's just a case of simple elimination.
0:44:08 > 0:44:10Where are those witness statements again?
0:44:12 > 0:44:16So it can't be you, can it? No, not possible.
0:44:16 > 0:44:19Can it be you? No!
0:44:19 > 0:44:22Come on, think! Don't complicate it!
0:44:22 > 0:44:23Think simple.
0:44:24 > 0:44:26Oh, Lordy, it's you, isn't it?
0:44:26 > 0:44:28Sir.
0:44:28 > 0:44:31No, of course, why wouldn't it be you?
0:44:31 > 0:44:33- It's you and it works! ..What is it?- The egg theft -
0:44:33 > 0:44:35a full report was prepared for the committee.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38- God bless the club committee.- Yes,
0:44:38 > 0:44:41Serpent Eagle eggs were taken from a nest worth thousands of pounds.
0:44:41 > 0:44:43There's been a series of thefts recently - it's all here.
0:44:46 > 0:44:47Passports. Visas.
0:44:49 > 0:44:50Thank you.
0:44:52 > 0:44:54A-ha! We have our cuckoo.
0:44:54 > 0:44:56Jeez.
0:44:56 > 0:44:59Fidel, Dwayne, get everyone together - the tour group,
0:44:59 > 0:45:02staff, the base camp, I think. We're going to need Mrs Talbot too. Yes.
0:45:10 > 0:45:11Shall we?
0:45:15 > 0:45:18BIRDS CALL
0:45:20 > 0:45:27Mark Talbot, avid birdwatcher, arrives on Saint-Marie with
0:45:27 > 0:45:30the intention of seeing one of the rarest birds in the world.
0:45:31 > 0:45:35The Saint-Marie Green. Fantastic.
0:45:35 > 0:45:40He's so excited that on the morning he's due to visit the nesting site,
0:45:40 > 0:45:42he sneaks off to the hide,
0:45:42 > 0:45:46discarding his walking cane along the way, for no apparent reason.
0:45:46 > 0:45:49He doesn't take his life list to record the event
0:45:49 > 0:45:51as he has done a hundred times before.
0:45:51 > 0:45:56But he does take his knife and a single woollen sock.
0:45:58 > 0:46:03Shortly after arriving at the hide, he is murdered with that knife.
0:46:03 > 0:46:06Yet despite him seemingly trying to outdo
0:46:06 > 0:46:10and out-manoeuvre his fellow twitchers...
0:46:10 > 0:46:13erm, sorry, birders - the correct term is birders -
0:46:13 > 0:46:17his wife would have us believe that he was a man who liked to play fair.
0:46:19 > 0:46:22He was competitive, but Mark was also a stickler for the rules,
0:46:22 > 0:46:24doing things by the book.
0:46:24 > 0:46:26And the security at the reserve meant that,
0:46:26 > 0:46:29although not impossible, it was highly unlikely
0:46:29 > 0:46:32anyone from the outside could have got in to murder Mr Talbot.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35In other words, it had to be one of you.
0:46:35 > 0:46:40So which one of you wanted him dead?
0:46:41 > 0:46:44His devoted wife and Mr Webster -
0:46:44 > 0:46:47to stop him discovering their affair -
0:46:47 > 0:46:51or "liaison", as Mrs Talbot described it?
0:46:54 > 0:46:59Or Mr Burton, who clearly hated him?
0:47:01 > 0:47:03The staff didn't seem to like him much.
0:47:03 > 0:47:05In fact, the only person
0:47:05 > 0:47:10who appeared to have any time for him at all was you, Mr Parish.
0:47:10 > 0:47:12Sorry. Thank you.
0:47:14 > 0:47:18So, what actually happened that morning?
0:47:19 > 0:47:22Well, Mr Talbot did indeed get up early.
0:47:25 > 0:47:26He headed down the trail
0:47:26 > 0:47:32to the hide. He settled himself down to watch over the nesting site,
0:47:32 > 0:47:38at which point he was brutally murdered with his own knife.
0:47:44 > 0:47:48Brutally murdered by you,
0:47:48 > 0:47:50Mr Parish!
0:47:56 > 0:47:58I don't know what you're talking about.
0:47:58 > 0:48:00But how can that be? But he was with us.
0:48:00 > 0:48:03See, that was always the problem with this case.
0:48:03 > 0:48:07The "how" was always going to be the key.
0:48:07 > 0:48:10You were all together as you watched the victim
0:48:10 > 0:48:13walk away down the trail, you all followed him together,
0:48:13 > 0:48:16and you found him dead - again all together.
0:48:16 > 0:48:20Fidel, how long did it take to leave the camp, get down to the hide,
0:48:20 > 0:48:24stand still for ten seconds and then get back to the camp?
0:48:28 > 0:48:31Running flat out, just under seven minutes.
0:48:31 > 0:48:33You see, it's impossible, it can't be.
0:48:33 > 0:48:35Yet it happened. How?
0:48:35 > 0:48:38You see, in the end, the key...
0:48:38 > 0:48:41the key was Mr Talbot's discarded cane.
0:48:41 > 0:48:46It was something so simple, I really should have seen it sooner.
0:48:47 > 0:48:49Miss Blake, you woke Mr Burton
0:48:49 > 0:48:53and you both watched Mr Talbot leaving the camp.
0:48:53 > 0:48:55- That's right. - Yes, except you didn't.- What?
0:48:55 > 0:48:58Well, you see, by that time Mr Talbot was already dead.
0:48:58 > 0:49:00No, no, we saw him, we saw him.
0:49:00 > 0:49:04No, what you actually saw was Mr Parish...
0:49:04 > 0:49:07who, thinking ahead, had taken Mark Talbot's cane
0:49:07 > 0:49:09and run back to the camp.
0:49:11 > 0:49:13Isn't that right, Daniel?
0:49:15 > 0:49:17Let me explain. Now...
0:49:20 > 0:49:21Little rudimentary.
0:49:23 > 0:49:27You walked down the trail using Mr Talbot's stick.
0:49:28 > 0:49:31He's trying to see the Green first.
0:49:31 > 0:49:32Look!
0:49:34 > 0:49:36Sneaky...
0:49:37 > 0:49:40You then discarded it here once you were out of sight.
0:49:47 > 0:49:51Fidel, how long from where the cane was found, back to the camp?
0:49:51 > 0:49:52Just under two minutes, sir.
0:49:52 > 0:49:57So, you see, that's the only explanation for why the cane
0:49:57 > 0:49:58was where we found it.
0:49:58 > 0:50:02And the "how" led us to the "who".
0:50:03 > 0:50:08You see, it had to be the person who appeared last.
0:50:08 > 0:50:10Now, in all your statements,
0:50:10 > 0:50:14Daniel Parish was the person who appeared last that morning.
0:50:15 > 0:50:18You discarded the cane and ran back along the path.
0:50:18 > 0:50:21- Mr Talbot's already left! - How long's he been gone?
0:50:21 > 0:50:22Minute or so.
0:50:22 > 0:50:24And when everyone was back in their tents,
0:50:24 > 0:50:26you seized your opportunity.
0:50:35 > 0:50:38It's a bit underhand, even for him.
0:50:38 > 0:50:40We have a "who".
0:50:40 > 0:50:41We even have a "how".
0:50:41 > 0:50:44Which just leaves us with the "why".
0:50:44 > 0:50:46The night before the killing,
0:50:46 > 0:50:50- you were telling the others about your trips.- So?
0:50:50 > 0:50:54So Mark Talbot talked about rare eggs that had been stolen from Borneo.
0:50:54 > 0:50:56The last place you visited.
0:50:56 > 0:50:59You went on to talk about other places you visited.
0:50:59 > 0:51:03Madagascar, Vietnam, Nepal on the way back.
0:51:05 > 0:51:10This is a list of high-profile egg thefts taking place
0:51:10 > 0:51:11in the past 12 months.
0:51:11 > 0:51:15Madagascar. Vietnam. Nepal.
0:51:15 > 0:51:20And Borneo. Where the nests were in mountain ranges, on high ledges.
0:51:20 > 0:51:22I free climb. No ropes.
0:51:22 > 0:51:24Hell of a rush, you should try it some time.
0:51:24 > 0:51:28You see, the sale of rare birds' eggs is a thriving business.
0:51:28 > 0:51:31There is only one nesting pair of the Saint-Marie Green left.
0:51:31 > 0:51:35Their eggs alone would be worth a small fortune to any collector.
0:51:36 > 0:51:39So that night, as you talked about your travels
0:51:39 > 0:51:41and the places you'd been...
0:51:41 > 0:51:42Oh, super!
0:51:42 > 0:51:45Yeah, I get away when I can.
0:51:46 > 0:51:48Only Mark Talbot
0:51:48 > 0:51:51put two and two together. He knew about the egg thefts.
0:51:52 > 0:51:53You'd given yourself away.
0:51:53 > 0:51:57He knew what you were and the danger you posed.
0:51:57 > 0:51:59But then, you see, that's only half the story.
0:51:59 > 0:52:02See, because the last piece of the puzzle
0:52:02 > 0:52:06is how you managed to get Mark Talbot down to the hide
0:52:06 > 0:52:07in the first place.
0:52:09 > 0:52:13And that's where you came in, isn't it...Yasmin?
0:52:13 > 0:52:15- Me?- Yes.
0:52:15 > 0:52:18You see, I think that's why he wanted to make that phone call.
0:52:18 > 0:52:21What do you want me to do? There's no signal up here.
0:52:21 > 0:52:23We can go back now if you want?
0:52:23 > 0:52:25What - miss the chance of seeing the Green?
0:52:25 > 0:52:27Look, don't worry, it'll keep.
0:52:27 > 0:52:31That phone call would have been to warn the authorities.
0:52:31 > 0:52:34He told you of his suspicions about Dan Parish, didn't he?
0:52:34 > 0:52:38Not knowing that you were his accomplice.
0:52:38 > 0:52:40- I'll deal with it.- OK.
0:52:40 > 0:52:41- I know what I've got to do.- Yes.
0:52:41 > 0:52:44And by telling you, he signed his own death warrant.
0:52:44 > 0:52:45No!
0:52:45 > 0:52:50Remind me. Where WERE you before coming to Saint-Marie?
0:52:50 > 0:52:53Last year I did Cambodia and Vietnam. Amazing.
0:52:55 > 0:52:57See, we checked your visas.
0:52:57 > 0:52:59You were there at the same time as Dan Parish.
0:52:59 > 0:53:02And that's who you were meeting at the hotel last night.
0:53:02 > 0:53:06And then I have the waxing, which is chest and back.
0:53:06 > 0:53:09I've just seen Yasmin Blake - was she here to see you?
0:53:09 > 0:53:11Why would she be?
0:53:11 > 0:53:13He needed you on the inside, didn't he?
0:53:13 > 0:53:17So that's why you used all your wiles to get this job,
0:53:17 > 0:53:20even giving poor old Captain Jack the wrong impression.
0:53:20 > 0:53:23Yasmin? Don't suppose you fancy a nightcap?
0:53:23 > 0:53:25No, I don't. Go to bed.
0:53:30 > 0:53:33You were the one who got Mark Talbot to go down to the hide early,
0:53:33 > 0:53:35no doubt telling him that Daniel Parish would have
0:53:35 > 0:53:36to go for the eggs at first light
0:53:36 > 0:53:39and that he would have a chance to catch him in the act.
0:53:39 > 0:53:42He even took a single woollen sock...
0:53:42 > 0:53:45in case he needed to keep the eggs warm.
0:53:45 > 0:53:48He wasn't there to see the Saint-Marie Green,
0:53:48 > 0:53:50he was lying in wait.
0:53:51 > 0:53:54Unaware that he himself was the prey.
0:54:00 > 0:54:03Once he was killed, you had to establish your perfect alibis.
0:54:03 > 0:54:06Yes, now for that, you needed an independent witness.
0:54:08 > 0:54:11Your partner in crime, Yasmin, was waiting at the camp
0:54:11 > 0:54:14and you told her that someone needed to be woken up
0:54:14 > 0:54:15to corroborate your story.
0:54:18 > 0:54:19Look!
0:54:26 > 0:54:28Someone who could swear
0:54:28 > 0:54:30that he'd last seen Mark Talbot leaving the camp,
0:54:30 > 0:54:34making it impossible for either of you to have committed the crime.
0:54:36 > 0:54:39An almost perfect murder.
0:54:42 > 0:54:46You killed Mark Talbot to silence him and stay out of prison.
0:54:46 > 0:54:50Saint-Marie alone carries a minimum custodial sentence of ten years
0:54:50 > 0:54:52for the stealing of rare birds' eggs.
0:54:52 > 0:54:55You'll both now serve much longer than that. Take them away.
0:54:55 > 0:54:57- No, no, no! I didn't know he was going to kill him!- Shut up!
0:54:57 > 0:54:59You told me you were going to threaten him.
0:54:59 > 0:55:01No, I did not know he was going to kill him.
0:55:01 > 0:55:03You lied to me, I'm not covering up for you any more!
0:55:03 > 0:55:05The officer will be happy to take your statement.
0:55:18 > 0:55:21OK, look, I've had enough of this.
0:55:21 > 0:55:24Come on, you can tell me right now.
0:55:24 > 0:55:26Tell you what?
0:55:26 > 0:55:28You've been like a cat on a hot tin roof since all this started.
0:55:28 > 0:55:31- You're up to something.- Me?
0:55:31 > 0:55:35Yes, you, and I've spent enough money on beer in this place for you
0:55:35 > 0:55:38in the last couple of days for you to tell me.
0:55:38 > 0:55:41Hang on, hang on. Who am I talking to here?
0:55:41 > 0:55:42- Me.- Yes, I know that...
0:55:44 > 0:55:49But which you - Dwayne or Officer Myers?
0:55:49 > 0:55:51Me, Dwayne.
0:55:51 > 0:55:53Pub rules?
0:55:54 > 0:55:55Pub rules.
0:55:55 > 0:56:00- I saw it once, you know. The Saint-Marie Green.- Really? When?
0:56:00 > 0:56:06Must be 15, 20 years ago up at the headland.
0:56:06 > 0:56:08And?
0:56:08 > 0:56:12It was so beautiful. Small, delicate,
0:56:12 > 0:56:15green. I knew I shouldn't,
0:56:15 > 0:56:17but I wanted a closer look.
0:56:19 > 0:56:24Crept up to it, I held my hand out...so close...and then,
0:56:24 > 0:56:27it came...
0:56:27 > 0:56:28right at me!
0:56:28 > 0:56:31- Oh!- Sorry.
0:56:31 > 0:56:35That was one really angry bird.
0:56:35 > 0:56:36Yeah.
0:56:36 > 0:56:38Right. Magical memory.
0:56:38 > 0:56:40THEY CHUCKLE
0:56:40 > 0:56:42- Remember the hurricane, two years ago?- Mm-hm.
0:56:42 > 0:56:45One nesting pair left. They didn't make it.
0:56:45 > 0:56:47What?
0:56:47 > 0:56:49They're extinct.
0:56:49 > 0:56:53Ex... Extinct! But shouldn't you tell somebody?
0:56:53 > 0:56:55Get a grip!
0:56:55 > 0:56:57Who's going to come to Saint-Marie to see a dead parrot?
0:56:57 > 0:57:00Be bad for business. Besides, I've got five wives, you know?
0:57:00 > 0:57:02So? You won't get away with this, you know?
0:57:02 > 0:57:05I have, already! Two years.
0:57:05 > 0:57:09Ssh... Listen.
0:57:10 > 0:57:11To what?
0:57:11 > 0:57:13That!
0:57:13 > 0:57:14What?
0:57:14 > 0:57:16There it is!
0:57:16 > 0:57:17Where?
0:57:17 > 0:57:19Aw! You just missed it!
0:57:20 > 0:57:22You're a bad man, you know, Jack.
0:57:22 > 0:57:24Pub rules, remember?
0:57:24 > 0:57:27To the Saint-Marie Green. It ceased to be.
0:57:27 > 0:57:30It is an ex-parrot.
0:57:30 > 0:57:32Shuffled off its mortal coil.
0:57:32 > 0:57:37Or maybe it was just pinin' for the fjords?
0:57:37 > 0:57:39THEY LAUGH
0:57:41 > 0:57:43What do you suppose they're laughing at?
0:57:43 > 0:57:47Oh, believe me, with Dwayne, you don't want to know.
0:57:50 > 0:57:52Oh! Oh!
0:57:52 > 0:57:54There's been a murder on Sebastien Island.
0:57:54 > 0:57:57Alexander Jackson's been found shot near his home.
0:57:57 > 0:57:59The man owns the whole island. There's only one house on it - his.
0:57:59 > 0:58:01Father always liked to take a walk before lunch.
0:58:01 > 0:58:04Except, at some point within the hour - BANG!
0:58:04 > 0:58:06- THUNDER - So we're stranded here?
0:58:06 > 0:58:08That means the killer is too.
0:58:10 > 0:58:13Lock your doors, and don't let anybody in.
