0:00:12 > 0:00:16- Would you rather be British or French?- British!- British!

0:00:16 > 0:00:19I couldn't end my time as Governor of Saint Marie without

0:00:19 > 0:00:23putting this all-important question to the population of Spinner's Rock.

0:00:23 > 0:00:25"British and proud of it," said a Hawksbill.

0:00:25 > 0:00:27LAUGHTER

0:00:27 > 0:00:30"God save the Queen," sung a parrotfish.

0:00:30 > 0:00:35"You can't trust the French as far as you can throw them."

0:00:36 > 0:00:38That was a sea snake.

0:00:38 > 0:00:42Our friend from Saint Robert, General Council President Tromeur

0:00:42 > 0:00:45insists Spinner's Rock is French. But I am very clear.

0:00:45 > 0:00:52It became British 200 years ago and nothing has changed since then.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54APPLAUSE

0:00:54 > 0:00:57Saint Marie, you have given me

0:00:57 > 0:01:00four unforgettable years.

0:01:00 > 0:01:04My posting may be ending, but my successor,

0:01:04 > 0:01:08and indeed Britain, will continue to look after your best interests.

0:01:08 > 0:01:09Hear, hear!

0:01:09 > 0:01:14And I promise, I will carry the beauty of your island...

0:01:14 > 0:01:18and your people... in my heart forever.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20APPLAUSE

0:01:20 > 0:01:22Thank you.

0:01:22 > 0:01:23Bravo!

0:01:26 > 0:01:29- Message received. - He was listening to every word.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32Well, let's hope he reaches the right conclusion.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35"Sea snake" was inspired, by the way, Ellery.

0:01:35 > 0:01:40- Thank you.- Perfectly judged to the last, Governor.- Thank you, Selwyn.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42- Gosh, I could do with a drink. - Oh, allow me.

0:01:46 > 0:01:51Sea snake... For some reason, I thought you were better than that.

0:01:51 > 0:01:55Then I'm delighted to disappoint you one last time, Francois.

0:01:55 > 0:02:01You British complain about having lost your identity in the world.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05Well, I disagree. You're just as hypocritical as you ever were.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08On the contrary, I have been entirely straight with you.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12Withdraw France's claim to Spinner's Rock before I get on that plane,

0:02:12 > 0:02:14or we both know what will happen.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22I'll, erm...

0:02:22 > 0:02:24Go and check on the canapes.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42CHAMPAGNE CORK POPS

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Thank you.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50- Oh, Miss Preville. I do apologise. - It's fine, honestly.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57- A little something to remember me by, Governor.- Oh!

0:03:02 > 0:03:04It's Saint Marie pavement. I'm kidding.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06It's a piece of Spinner's Rock.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11Thank you, Andy. That is very thoughtful.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13You'll be missed, you know that?

0:03:13 > 0:03:15My drink...

0:03:15 > 0:03:17Excuse me.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20Lucy...

0:03:20 > 0:03:22You'd better not be going back to the office.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25Take the night off, Lucy, for God's sake!

0:03:25 > 0:03:27I've got to finish that DipTel.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30Well, at least stay for the food. Show Caroline a bit of respect.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38- To you, Governor.- God, I need this!

0:03:41 > 0:03:43- Are you OK?- Of course.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49Ladies...

0:03:49 > 0:03:53Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to add a few brief

0:03:53 > 0:03:56words of my own to the evening's tributes.

0:03:57 > 0:04:01Governor Bamber, you leave this island a wealthier,

0:04:01 > 0:04:04more confident and safer place, and for that, I...

0:04:04 > 0:04:06Ah!

0:04:07 > 0:04:09Oh!

0:04:09 > 0:04:10Someone, get a doctor! Now!

0:04:13 > 0:04:16Governor's residence. We need an ambulance. now.

0:04:16 > 0:04:17Ellery... What's happening?

0:04:23 > 0:04:24No.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26No!

0:04:26 > 0:04:28NO!

0:04:58 > 0:05:04Question 98. "What is your ideal body type for your perfect partner?"

0:05:04 > 0:05:06"I don't mind."

0:05:06 > 0:05:10No, Chief. That makes you sound desperate.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12OK.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14"I have an open mind."

0:05:14 > 0:05:16Right. Question 99.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19"How would you characterise the end of most of your romantic relationships?"

0:05:19 > 0:05:22- "Painful divorce." Last question. - Er, Chief...- Yes?

0:05:22 > 0:05:25Don't you think you might be answering those questions

0:05:25 > 0:05:26a little bit too honestly?

0:05:26 > 0:05:30Yes, but I'm hardly going to find my perfect partner by lying, am I?

0:05:30 > 0:05:32Right. Question 100.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34"How organised are you?"

0:05:34 > 0:05:37Highly organised, wouldn't you say, Dwayne?

0:05:37 > 0:05:39Yes, Chief.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42Right. I think that's ready to send.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47PHONE RINGS

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Hello?

0:05:49 > 0:05:51- 'Chief Inspector?' - Oh, Commissioner.

0:05:51 > 0:05:52Good evening.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54'We have a bit of a problem.'

0:06:03 > 0:06:05Evening, JP. Florence.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07Sir.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12So, Dwayne was round at yours this evening, then, sir?

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Er, yes. We were, erm... Well, actually, he was, erm...

0:06:14 > 0:06:17- What were you doing? You were putting up a shelf?- Painting.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19- Shelf.- Shelf.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Putting up a shelf. - Shelf.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32- Sir?- Ah, Inspector.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34Everything under control?

0:06:34 > 0:06:38No-one has touched the body, except for the paramedics.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41- And the doctor is on his way. - Thank you, sir.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44Most helpful. JP, Dwayne, go and get names and addresses,

0:06:44 > 0:06:46- statements and photos, please. - Chief.- Yes, Chief.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53Bitter almond.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55- That and the redness in the skin... - Cyanide?

0:06:55 > 0:06:58In her glass, it would seem. We should take a sample.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05- And none of the other guests are ill? - No, not that I'm aware.- Good.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08I don't suppose you know what Governor Bamber was drinking?

0:07:08 > 0:07:11Two glasses of Champagne. From this bottle.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13I served her.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16Right. And they were her only drinks?

0:07:16 > 0:07:20Yes. When she arrived, she went straight into her speech.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23I served her after she'd finished speaking.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26- And where did her glass come from? - From that table.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29- Did someone offer you the glass, sir?- No.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31I chose it myself.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33And the bottle?

0:07:33 > 0:07:36I saw it being opened. No-one else drank from it.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39Do you mind if I take the bottle, please, sir?

0:07:44 > 0:07:47Can't smell anything. Let's get it to the lab.

0:07:47 > 0:07:51Erm... Sir, I wonder if you could possibly go

0:07:51 > 0:07:54and check that none of the other guests are feeling unwell.

0:07:56 > 0:07:57Of course.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Thank you.

0:08:02 > 0:08:03Awkward.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09OK, six, six, seven, seven... 42. OK.

0:08:09 > 0:08:10About 100 glasses here.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13As far as I can tell, there's no cyanide in any of them.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16We'll have to get them all tested, just in case.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19- Anything in the Governor's handbag? - A phone.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23Thank you. Plenty of texts and e-mails.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27Mints, tissues, a sealed envelope, lipstick...

0:08:27 > 0:08:31And a piece of rock with an engraving.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34"For Caroline, a British jewel in the Caribbean. Andy."

0:08:34 > 0:08:37- Let me see the envelope.- Sure.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39There is no address on it.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43"Dear Caroline, Please be careful.

0:08:43 > 0:08:47"They want to kill you before you go because of June 10th. A friend."

0:08:47 > 0:08:51- Someone definitely wanted her dead. - And someone else knew about it.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53So...

0:08:53 > 0:08:57The Commissioner chose the Governor's glass at random from this table.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59None of the other glasses, the Champagne itself,

0:08:59 > 0:09:02contain cyanide and as far as we're aware, no-one else is sick.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05So did the Commissioner happen to pick the one poisoned glass

0:09:05 > 0:09:08- intended for the Governor? - Out of 100 or so?

0:09:08 > 0:09:10- That would be quite a coincidence. - Right.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12Which means the only possible way of getting

0:09:12 > 0:09:14poison into the victim's glass would be...

0:09:14 > 0:09:17By adding it to the glass after the Commissioner picked it

0:09:17 > 0:09:20- up off the table. - Which he's not going to like.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22Merci.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30No-one else is ill.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33And none of the other glasses or the bottle appear to contain cyanide.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36So, let's try and establish who could have added the cyanide

0:09:36 > 0:09:39to the glass, once you'd given it to the Governor.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42- So, who do you remember standing nearby?- No-one.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44What about during your speech?

0:09:44 > 0:09:47There was never anyone within two metres of either of us.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49- I'm sure of it.- I see.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52Well, then perhaps the cyanide was added before you gave

0:09:52 > 0:09:53the glass to the Governor.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55So let's rewind.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58As you were taking the glass from the table,

0:09:58 > 0:10:00who do you remember seeing nearby?

0:10:00 > 0:10:03The person near to me was Francois Tromeur,

0:10:03 > 0:10:06the President of the General Council of Saint Robert.

0:10:08 > 0:10:13- Arrogant, untrustworthy. A Parisian.- Right.

0:10:13 > 0:10:15That's useful, sir. Thank you.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18So, where was the President standing?

0:10:25 > 0:10:27- There.- Fine.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30And so where did you go with the glass after that?

0:10:30 > 0:10:32I brought it over to the Governor.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35On the way, there was a slight collision with Lucy Preville.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38- Lucy, er...? - Preville. The First Secretary.

0:10:38 > 0:10:42She's bright, very hard working. Rather buttoned up.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45Could you do the honours, please, Florence?

0:10:45 > 0:10:46Thank you, sir. And then?

0:10:46 > 0:10:51I rejoined the Governor, who was standing with Andy Hammond,

0:10:51 > 0:10:53the Deputy Governor.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56Right. JP?

0:10:58 > 0:11:01Mr Hammond knows a lot about the Caribbean.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04He's one of the proudest Brits I've ever met.

0:11:04 > 0:11:09After a few seconds, he headed over to Lucy Preville over there.

0:11:09 > 0:11:10Over there...

0:11:11 > 0:11:14'Excuse me. Lucy...'

0:11:15 > 0:11:17She looked like she was leaving the party.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19Right. So...

0:11:19 > 0:11:23Which of these three could have dropped the cyanide into the

0:11:23 > 0:11:27Governor's glass in between you picking it up from the table

0:11:27 > 0:11:29here and her swallowing the Champagne there?

0:11:29 > 0:11:31None of them.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33I would have noticed.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37Yes, but might you have been distracted, sir, albeit very briefly?

0:11:37 > 0:11:38Absolutely not.

0:11:38 > 0:11:42I was in control of Governor Bamber's glass the whole time.

0:11:44 > 0:11:45OK. Well, that's enough for now.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47Let's speak to the witnesses in the morning.

0:11:47 > 0:11:50And also, Caroline's secretary, Ellery Wallace, to see

0:11:50 > 0:11:53if he can shed light on who wrote the unopened warning letter

0:11:53 > 0:11:55- found in her handbag. - And why the 10th of June might be

0:11:55 > 0:11:58- a reason for someone to kill the Governor.- Quite right, JP.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01Now, if you and Dwayne carry on with the necessary background checks, also

0:12:01 > 0:12:04get the prints off the letter and see if the lab can tell us

0:12:04 > 0:12:05- anything else about it. - Yes, Chief.- Ah!

0:12:07 > 0:12:10Before you go, could I possible have a quick word?

0:12:12 > 0:12:15Yeah... Well, first of all, erm... Could I say once again...

0:12:15 > 0:12:18- What is it, Inspector? - Yes, um...

0:12:18 > 0:12:22To avoid you compromising our investigation,

0:12:22 > 0:12:26I'm afraid you will need to remain entirely excluded from it.

0:12:26 > 0:12:28Until the case is concluded.

0:12:29 > 0:12:30I see.

0:12:33 > 0:12:34Thank you for telling me.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42Commissioner.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50Well, he seems to have taken that on the chin, hasn't he?

0:12:52 > 0:12:54Have a good evening, sir.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16Ah, Florence. Good morning.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19I am literally one set of keys away from being ready.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22Once I find my wallet, of course... And my jacket...

0:13:23 > 0:13:27- So... Which shelf did Dwayne put up? - Shelf?

0:13:28 > 0:13:30Oh, right. Yes... Er, shelf...

0:13:30 > 0:13:33Um... Well, let me see... It was er...

0:13:33 > 0:13:34It was...

0:13:34 > 0:13:38- Um... That one.- What were you two really up to last night?

0:13:40 > 0:13:43Well, actually, he was helping me fill in a profile.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46Yes, I've decided to dive in to the shark infested

0:13:46 > 0:13:49- waters of the dating world. - Good for you.

0:13:49 > 0:13:53And Dwayne is going to be your guide, is he?

0:13:53 > 0:13:56Yes, absolutely, Florence. Well, if he can't get me a woman, no-one can!

0:13:59 > 0:14:01Ah, success. Let's go.

0:14:04 > 0:14:08- Poison?- I thought it was a heart attack.

0:14:08 > 0:14:11Was anyone behaving suspiciously around Caroline's Champagne glass?

0:14:11 > 0:14:12No.

0:14:12 > 0:14:17- No.- What about you, Mr Wallace? What did you see?

0:14:17 > 0:14:19I was in the kitchen when the Commissioner served her.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22'Someone, get a doctor! Now!'

0:14:22 > 0:14:24I heard Lucy scream, so I came running.

0:14:24 > 0:14:26'Ellery, what's happening?'

0:14:26 > 0:14:29What was Caroline like, to work with, or opposite?

0:14:29 > 0:14:33She was a great diplomat and an inspiring manager.

0:14:33 > 0:14:34Not many of those in the Foreign Office.

0:14:34 > 0:14:40- Was she in a relationship?- No. But then, she was clever and competent.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42In my experience, that tends to frighten men off.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45Ha. President Tromeur?

0:14:46 > 0:14:50Caroline was a beautiful lady on the outside. And the inside.

0:14:53 > 0:14:59My wife insisted I switch. They do a Ciganes flavour. It's OK.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03So, who was Caroline closest to in the office?

0:15:03 > 0:15:05I'd like to think it was me.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08It was Ellery. She trusted him with her life.

0:15:08 > 0:15:11How long had you been Governor Bamber's Private Secretary?

0:15:11 > 0:15:13Almost two years.

0:15:13 > 0:15:18She liked that I was able to provide a local perspective on things.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20What was Caroline doing yesterday?

0:15:20 > 0:15:24She was clearing out her office. With Ellery.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26There was a lot to do before she left.

0:15:28 > 0:15:32Caroline was carrying this in her handbag.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34It was unopened and unaddressed.

0:15:34 > 0:15:38Do you know where she got it from? Have any of you seen it before?

0:15:41 > 0:15:43"Dear Caroline, Please be careful.

0:15:43 > 0:15:48"They want to kill you before you go because of June 10th. A friend."

0:15:48 > 0:15:51Any of you any idea who could have written this?

0:15:51 > 0:15:54What about the reference to the 10th of June?

0:15:54 > 0:15:58- That's the date of the Battle of Spinner's Rock.- Of course it is.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00Yes, of course. Um... Spinner's Rock... Remind me.

0:16:00 > 0:16:04It's an uninhabited rock between Saint Marie and Saint Robert.

0:16:04 > 0:16:09On June the 10th 1813, Captain Spinner won it for Britain.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12And now, out of the blue, the French are claiming it as theirs.

0:16:12 > 0:16:16The correct title is La Roche De La Republique.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18The rock is rightfully French.

0:16:19 > 0:16:20No, it isn't.

0:16:20 > 0:16:25Why would Spinner's Rock be a reason to kill Governor Bamber?

0:16:25 > 0:16:26I have no idea.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29Whole thing's handbags at 12 paces, honestly.

0:16:29 > 0:16:34Caroline was blackmailing President Tromeur over Spinner's Rock.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39- What? - She had given him an ultimatum.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41'Withdraw France's claim to Spinner's Rock before I get

0:16:41 > 0:16:44'on that plane or we both know what will happen.'

0:16:44 > 0:16:47I thought she seemed a bit nervous.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50Caroline was threatening to block imports from Saint Robert

0:16:50 > 0:16:53- on to Saint Marie.- Reason for you to be pretty worried, I imagine?

0:16:53 > 0:16:57Our fishermen would have lost a few dollars. Painful, yes.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59But a reason for me to murder someone?

0:17:04 > 0:17:08Please excuse me. I have some VIPs waiting outside.

0:17:08 > 0:17:10My family.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19- Comment ca va?- Ca va.

0:17:19 > 0:17:21Saint Marie, there.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23Saint Robert, there.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25So, where's this Spinner's Rock?

0:17:26 > 0:17:28There.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31That? That's it?

0:17:31 > 0:17:34Entente Cordiale out the window for a dot in the middle of nowhere?

0:17:34 > 0:17:36It doesn't make any sense.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39Caroline had a serious clearout.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42Some of these documents go right back to the start of her posting.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45- Did you find anything about Spinner's Rock?- Not yet.

0:17:45 > 0:17:49Let's have a look. Report from a Planning Commission.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51Minutes into the Planning Council.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54Plans for a Club Caribbean Holiday Camp.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56Invoice for a private security firm...

0:17:56 > 0:17:58Lockdown Private Security hired for the ongoing

0:17:58 > 0:18:00security of Spinner's Rock.

0:18:00 > 0:18:01How much?!

0:18:04 > 0:18:08She could have had the coastguard or us for free to patrol that rock.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10Why shell out for a private security firm?

0:18:14 > 0:18:17So, the postmortem confirms that Caroline Bamber

0:18:17 > 0:18:21died from ingesting hydrogen cyanide. Concentrated hydrogen cyanide,

0:18:21 > 0:18:22strong enough to kill in a minute,

0:18:22 > 0:18:25was found in Champagne samples taken from Caroline's glass.

0:18:25 > 0:18:28Which would explain why she died almost immediately.

0:18:28 > 0:18:32The lab confirmed there was no trace of cyanide in any other glass.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34Or in the Champagne bottle.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37And the only food and drink Caroline consumed in the half hour

0:18:37 > 0:18:39before she died was the Champagne.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41It's just as you thought, sir.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44- Someone poisoned her Champagne glass.- Quite right, JP.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47But the question is, how on earth did they do it without our esteemed

0:18:47 > 0:18:49Commissioner spotting it?

0:18:49 > 0:18:52- Oh, and any joy with that letter? - Yep.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54The lab say the paper and the envelope are low quality

0:18:54 > 0:18:56and can be found in any newsagent.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59And they can't tell us anything for certain about the computer or

0:18:59 > 0:19:02- the printer that was used. - No fingerprints on the letter itself

0:19:02 > 0:19:05and only one set on the envelope - the Governor's.

0:19:05 > 0:19:09So, it was handed to Caroline by someone wearing gloves?

0:19:09 > 0:19:11Or someone in gloves left it in her handbag.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13A place they knew she'd find it.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16So, who killed Caroline Bamber and why?

0:19:16 > 0:19:18And how did they get cyanide into her glass?

0:19:18 > 0:19:23Well, to help us, I have procured, at no expense at all,

0:19:23 > 0:19:27a highly technical piece of cutting edge kit.

0:19:27 > 0:19:28My chess set.

0:19:28 > 0:19:32- Dwayne?- Oh...- Thank you.

0:19:32 > 0:19:33So...

0:19:37 > 0:19:40Caroline Bamber, Governor for the past four years.

0:19:40 > 0:19:44Single, respected by her colleagues, a reputation for integrity

0:19:44 > 0:19:47and defending the best interests of Saint Marie.

0:19:47 > 0:19:51The Commissioner, bearer of the fateful Champagne glass,

0:19:51 > 0:19:55who, whilst travelling with said glass bumped into...

0:19:55 > 0:19:57Lucy Preville, the First Secretary.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00Her first posting. Domestic staff confirmed she's a workaholic.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02Apparently, she was even more uptight

0:20:02 > 0:20:04when she arrived in Saint Marie.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Then there is President Tromeur.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08President of the General Council of Saint Robert.

0:20:08 > 0:20:11Francois Tromeur has promised the people of Saint Robert he'll

0:20:11 > 0:20:13give them La Roche De La Republique.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16Caroline was threatening to cut trade with Saint Robert

0:20:16 > 0:20:19- if he did not withdraw French claims.- Damaging? Yes.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21A murder motive? Not sure.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23Next to Caroline, we have the Deputy Governor, Andy Hammond.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26- His first posting in the Caribbean. - Well, the view from the kitchen is

0:20:26 > 0:20:29that Andy Hammond was the real expert on the region.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31He was also extremely loyal to Caroline.

0:20:31 > 0:20:36And finally, there is Caroline's Private Secretary, Ellery Wallace.

0:20:36 > 0:20:40Divorced, one child, one minor offence dating back three years.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43- Reckless driving. - Was anyone hurt?- I'll find out.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49Er... Florence, what are you doing?

0:20:49 > 0:20:52The Commissioner had the best chance to poison Caroline.

0:20:52 > 0:20:57I don't think he did, but logically, he needs to be up there.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59- She has a point, you know, Chief.- Yes...

0:20:59 > 0:21:03- Sir...- Yes.- Here's how Spinner's Rock crisis started.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05Six months ago,

0:21:05 > 0:21:08a French Tricolor suddenly appeared on Spinner's Rock.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11Governor Bamber sent Andy Hammond to remove it.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14Soon afterwards, President Tromeur announced the rock was French.

0:21:15 > 0:21:17Have they got assault rifles?

0:21:17 > 0:21:19Maybe she thought the French were going to invade!

0:21:19 > 0:21:23Or maybe there's something on that rock she really didn't want found.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25Either way, "handbags at 12 paces" this is not.

0:21:25 > 0:21:28Dwayne, JP, I want you to visit this Spinner's Rock.

0:21:28 > 0:21:32- Forget history, something is going on there right now.- Yes, Chief.

0:21:32 > 0:21:34Thank you.

0:21:34 > 0:21:35- Sir?- Yes.

0:21:35 > 0:21:38A text exchange on Caroline's phone from a month ago.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42Hm. Caroline to Lucy Preville. "The French are reading our minds on SR.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45"How? Someone been spiking your drinks?"

0:21:45 > 0:21:47Lucy to Caroline. "How dare you!"

0:21:47 > 0:21:49- SR must be Spinner's Rock.- Yes.

0:21:49 > 0:21:52"The French are reading our minds. How?"

0:21:52 > 0:21:54Caroline must be accusing Lucy of being indiscrete.

0:21:54 > 0:21:59And look, Caroline then texts Lucy. "Time for you to make a decision."

0:21:59 > 0:22:01Decision? Interesting.

0:22:01 > 0:22:03I think we should go and see what it was.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12Switch off your motor! This is a prohibited zone!

0:22:27 > 0:22:29Look, I wasn't expecting a red carpet

0:22:29 > 0:22:31or a marching band or anything like that, you know,

0:22:31 > 0:22:33but they weren't exactly pleased to see us, were they?

0:22:33 > 0:22:36- I think the Inspector was right.- Mm.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39- They are worried about us finding something.- You better believe it!

0:22:39 > 0:22:43And I reckon we will find out exactly what it is from up there.

0:22:43 > 0:22:47Or we could start from here and work our way up slowly,

0:22:47 > 0:22:49if we don't find it.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52- Start from up there, I reckon. - JP!

0:22:54 > 0:22:55Man!

0:22:58 > 0:23:00JP!

0:23:02 > 0:23:03Why did Caroline think

0:23:03 > 0:23:05someone had been indiscreet about Spinner's Rock?

0:23:08 > 0:23:10President Tromeur was winning the PR war.

0:23:10 > 0:23:13Caroline was convinced someone had got hold of one of the various

0:23:13 > 0:23:17- strategy papers she'd drawn up. - So why was she blaming you?

0:23:18 > 0:23:20She blamed all of us at some point.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22Who did she think had been spiking your drinks?

0:23:23 > 0:23:25I have no idea.

0:23:28 > 0:23:29You smoke Ciganes?

0:23:31 > 0:23:34- Yes? - It's funny.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37President Tromeur smokes this brand, doesn't he?

0:23:37 > 0:23:39Does he?

0:23:39 > 0:23:42Come on, Miss Preville. What's going on?

0:23:42 > 0:23:46Look, this has absolutely nothing to do with your investigation.

0:23:46 > 0:23:48If I'm honest, I think we should probably decide that.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02I lost my mother a year ago.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04To illness. Francois was...

0:24:05 > 0:24:06..understanding.

0:24:06 > 0:24:11He'd lost his mother about the same age. He was generous.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13And vulnerable.

0:24:13 > 0:24:16It took me by surprise, that side of him.

0:24:16 > 0:24:19I began to see the whole arrogance thing was...

0:24:19 > 0:24:21well, IS sort of a shield.

0:24:24 > 0:24:26And that's how it began.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29Are you in love with him?

0:24:29 > 0:24:31I don't have to answer that.

0:24:31 > 0:24:34- Who knew about your relationship? - Only Caroline.

0:24:34 > 0:24:37It wasn't anyone else's business. I briefed her about a year ago.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39And she was OK with it?

0:24:41 > 0:24:44It's not against Foreign Office rules to have a French boyfriend.

0:24:44 > 0:24:46But then Spinner's Rock happened.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49Suddenly, Caroline saw your boyfriend as the enemy.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52Was that the decision she told you to make?

0:24:52 > 0:24:54Francois or the Foreign Office?

0:24:54 > 0:24:58- If my boss had forced me to make that decision...- Nothing happened.

0:24:58 > 0:25:01I told her I never discuss work with Francois.

0:25:01 > 0:25:03I said we tended to have other things on our mind.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06- And she believed you? - Of course.

0:25:09 > 0:25:13Look, I have a great instinct in these things and that instinct

0:25:13 > 0:25:18is telling me that at the end of the day, it's nothing but a rock!

0:25:18 > 0:25:22But the Inspector's sure something's going on here.

0:25:22 > 0:25:25Well, I'm going to have a little sit down. You probably want to too, eh?

0:25:25 > 0:25:27Mm.

0:25:27 > 0:25:32Or maybe it's not about what is on this rock, but where it is.

0:25:32 > 0:25:35Maybe this rock is some sort of symbol.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39- JP?- Mm?

0:25:39 > 0:25:42That's all very fascinating, but you might want to look over there.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48What is that?

0:25:50 > 0:25:53- Caroline knew about your affair. - She never mentioned it.

0:25:53 > 0:25:56I think she was threatening to tell your wife about it.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59That was the real ultimatum she gave you over Spinner's Rock.

0:26:02 > 0:26:05That would have been no threat at all.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07I guess Sandrine is used to you straying.

0:26:08 > 0:26:11Affairs being part and parcel of a French marriage,

0:26:11 > 0:26:15she wouldn't have batted an eyelid. Remind me, Sergeant Cassell,

0:26:15 > 0:26:18do the French say "une affaire" or "une liaison"?

0:26:18 > 0:26:20- Une liaison.- Thanks.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32- I was with Lucy because I was scared.- Scared of what?

0:26:34 > 0:26:35Getting old.

0:26:39 > 0:26:42Then, the moment Caroline threatened to tell Sandrine, I...

0:26:44 > 0:26:46..suddenly felt this terror...

0:26:48 > 0:26:52..at the thought of losing Sandrine, of not having her in my life.

0:26:54 > 0:26:57I finally understood what I had been risking.

0:26:57 > 0:27:01- For what?- Which is why you had to silence Caroline.

0:27:01 > 0:27:05No. She was bluffing. She would never have told Sandrine.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10Caroline brought me to my senses.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15I decided to end it with Lucy.

0:27:15 > 0:27:18I was going to do it at the party, but then...

0:27:19 > 0:27:22Please, don't tell my wife about Lucy.

0:27:27 > 0:27:30He's been selfish, she's been deluded.

0:27:30 > 0:27:32- They make quite the pair. - Was Francois Tromeur

0:27:32 > 0:27:36really going to risk losing his wife by calling Caroline's bluff?

0:27:36 > 0:27:38And even if he did, we've still got the problem of who wrote

0:27:38 > 0:27:41Caroline the letter, warning her her life was in danger and why?

0:27:41 > 0:27:43Ah. Any joy?

0:27:43 > 0:27:46Well, Chief, either this Spinner's Rock thing really is

0:27:46 > 0:27:49all about history, or it's got something to do with these.

0:27:49 > 0:27:51Drill holes.

0:27:51 > 0:27:54Into what looks like some kind of volcanic rock.

0:27:54 > 0:27:55You think they're looking for oil?

0:27:58 > 0:28:02This rock is the same as that rock.

0:28:02 > 0:28:05- Dwayne, get these to the lab. - Yes, Chief. - MESSAGE ALERT

0:28:05 > 0:28:08And then that'll be all today. It's getting late.

0:28:13 > 0:28:15- Dwayne!- Chief?

0:28:15 > 0:28:16I've got a 94% match.

0:28:17 > 0:28:19You're joking!

0:28:19 > 0:28:22A girl has answered 94% of questions exactly the same as me!

0:28:29 > 0:28:33- It's a miracle. - I think this might be destiny.

0:28:34 > 0:28:38- She's gorgeous.- Yes. - So, what's her name?

0:28:38 > 0:28:40Well, she left that blank, unfortunately.

0:28:40 > 0:28:45And further added to her mystique by putting

0:28:45 > 0:28:47"somewhere in the Caribbean" for her location.

0:28:47 > 0:28:50So, what are you going to say in your message?

0:28:50 > 0:28:52Well, I was rather hoping that Dwayne would tell me that.

0:28:52 > 0:28:56Don't worry, Chief. I know exactly what you should say.

0:28:56 > 0:28:58- Are you ready? - Yes. Hit me with it.

0:28:58 > 0:29:03Right. So, based on my deep knowledge of women...

0:29:03 > 0:29:06You know, how they work and what makes them tick and, you know...

0:29:06 > 0:29:08And so on.

0:29:08 > 0:29:12What with you answering all the questions the same

0:29:12 > 0:29:15and all that, this is what you should write - "Let's meet."

0:29:15 > 0:29:17That's it?

0:29:17 > 0:29:19- Mm-hm.- Isn't that a bit rude?

0:29:19 > 0:29:22Rude? Chief, the fish is already on the hook.

0:29:22 > 0:29:24All you have to do is reel it in.

0:29:24 > 0:29:26HE CLEARS HIS THROAT Right.

0:29:31 > 0:29:32Good evening.

0:29:36 > 0:29:38HORN BEEPS

0:29:41 > 0:29:45- You sure you don't want a lift, sir? - I'm fine, Florence. Honestly. I...

0:29:45 > 0:29:47I just fancy walking home tonight.

0:29:47 > 0:29:49OK. See you tomorrow.

0:29:49 > 0:29:51Ta-ra.

0:30:13 > 0:30:16- Morning.- Morning, Chief. So, did you send your reply?

0:30:16 > 0:30:18Er... Yes, Dwayne.

0:30:18 > 0:30:21In the end, I decided to go with my own version, I hope you don't mind.

0:30:21 > 0:30:25- Not at all.- I went round the houses a bit on a couple of things

0:30:25 > 0:30:27and finally sent it off about 4am.

0:30:27 > 0:30:284am?!

0:30:28 > 0:30:30Yes.

0:30:30 > 0:30:32- Can we hear it, sir?- Ah. Um...

0:30:32 > 0:30:34OK.

0:30:35 > 0:30:37Ahem.

0:30:37 > 0:30:39"Dear Miss.

0:30:39 > 0:30:41"I was delighted to be notified of our match.

0:30:41 > 0:30:45"Here's hoping we can meet face-to-face soon. Best, Humphrey."

0:30:47 > 0:30:50I spent a long time debating whether to put a kiss.

0:30:50 > 0:30:51Ended up leaving it.

0:30:51 > 0:30:54- It's great, sir. - She'll definitely reply to that.

0:30:54 > 0:30:56Good.

0:30:57 > 0:30:594am, for that?!

0:30:59 > 0:31:02So, President Tromeur, Andy Hammond

0:31:02 > 0:31:05and Lucy Preville were the only people anywhere near

0:31:05 > 0:31:08Caroline Bamber's Champagne glass when we think the cyanide was added.

0:31:08 > 0:31:11Apart from, of course, the Commissioner, Florence.

0:31:11 > 0:31:14Now, we've learned that Francois and Lucy were having an affair

0:31:14 > 0:31:17and Caroline was using this to blackmail Francois.

0:31:17 > 0:31:20She may also have been pressing Lucy Preville to end

0:31:20 > 0:31:22the relationship on security grounds however,

0:31:22 > 0:31:25neither motive can explain how the cyanide jumped from either

0:31:25 > 0:31:28of them into Caroline's glass without the Commissioner noticing.

0:31:28 > 0:31:32Sir, I looked into Ellery's reckless driving.

0:31:32 > 0:31:35He collided head on with a car being driven by one of the directors

0:31:35 > 0:31:38- of a construction firm. - Were they hurt?- No, luckily.

0:31:38 > 0:31:40But listen to this - a week earlier,

0:31:40 > 0:31:44Ellery was found trespassing in a Club Caribbean Holiday Camp.

0:31:44 > 0:31:47- Club Caribbean...- Which was being built by the same director's

0:31:47 > 0:31:49company, Parrington Construction, at the time.

0:31:49 > 0:31:53I think a friend of my brother's worked on the Club Caribbean

0:31:53 > 0:31:55building project. I could speak to him.

0:31:55 > 0:31:57MESSAGE ALERT

0:31:57 > 0:31:58Ah, the lab.

0:31:58 > 0:32:04The rock sample you sent them is something called ultramafic.

0:32:04 > 0:32:09They are 98% confident it contains emerald reserves.

0:32:10 > 0:32:16- Wow! Emeralds.- That useless rock is actually one big gemstone?

0:32:16 > 0:32:18So, Spinner's Rock isn't about history, it's about a lot of money,

0:32:18 > 0:32:22which begins to explain why Caroline Bamber might have been killed over it.

0:32:22 > 0:32:25Dwayne, JP, get a warrant to search the whole of Government House.

0:32:25 > 0:32:29We need to find out exactly what our suspects knew about the true

0:32:29 > 0:32:31- value of Spinner's Rock. - Yes, Chief.

0:32:31 > 0:32:34And I think I know just who to start with.

0:32:38 > 0:32:40Can we have a word, Mr Hammond?

0:32:40 > 0:32:42In private?

0:32:42 > 0:32:44Of course.

0:32:44 > 0:32:46Thank you.

0:32:48 > 0:32:52The emeralds on Spinner's Rock... Slipped your mind, did they?

0:32:52 > 0:32:54I've got no idea what you're talking about.

0:32:54 > 0:32:57So you don't know the rock is made up of gemstone?

0:32:59 > 0:33:02"They want to kill you before you go because of June 10th."

0:33:02 > 0:33:04We asked you if you knew what that meant,

0:33:04 > 0:33:06you said you had no idea. You lied.

0:33:07 > 0:33:08So what else have you lied about, Mr Hammond?

0:33:08 > 0:33:11HE EXHALES DEEPLY

0:33:11 > 0:33:12All right.

0:33:12 > 0:33:15What I'm about to tell you

0:33:15 > 0:33:19and show you absolutely cannot be shared outside your investigation.

0:33:19 > 0:33:21You have our word.

0:33:27 > 0:33:31Just over six months ago, British geologists on a sailing holiday

0:33:31 > 0:33:33happened to moor off Spinner's Rock.

0:33:33 > 0:33:36They spotted that the rock might be emerald bearing.

0:33:36 > 0:33:40Fortunately, they were kind enough to tell Caroline about it.

0:33:40 > 0:33:43So she commissioned some discrete drilling.

0:33:45 > 0:33:48- How much of this is there? - We don't know, exactly,

0:33:48 > 0:33:51but we're estimating tens of millions of pounds' worth.

0:33:51 > 0:33:52Soon afterwards,

0:33:52 > 0:33:55our geologist spotted drill holes that weren't theirs.

0:33:55 > 0:33:58Then one day, the Tricolor flag appeared on the rock.

0:33:58 > 0:34:01- Someone told the French about the emeralds.- Yeah.

0:34:01 > 0:34:05And now, those canny Frogs are rewriting history to try to

0:34:05 > 0:34:06claim Spinner's Rock for themselves.

0:34:06 > 0:34:08No offence.

0:34:09 > 0:34:12- So, who did tell the French about the emeralds?- We don't know.

0:34:14 > 0:34:17- Who knew about them? - Well, er...

0:34:18 > 0:34:22Apart from the geologists, Caroline, myself and Lucy Preville.

0:34:22 > 0:34:25- Ellery Wallace? - Caroline shared everything with him.

0:34:25 > 0:34:30But I did wonder whether the leak wasn't Caroline herself.

0:34:30 > 0:34:33Well, she was superb at the big picture.

0:34:33 > 0:34:36But sometimes, she could be a little careless.

0:34:36 > 0:34:39- Known to leave the odd memo lying around, you know? - PHONE RINGS

0:34:39 > 0:34:41It would only have taken one dishonest cleaner...

0:34:41 > 0:34:42It's my brother's friend.

0:34:45 > 0:34:46- Sir?- Yes.

0:34:49 > 0:34:53We're in Ellery Wallace's office. There's something you should see.

0:34:53 > 0:34:54Thank you.

0:34:59 > 0:35:02- What is it?- It was hidden in the back of the drawer.

0:35:02 > 0:35:06'Lockdown Private Security, hired for the ongoing security of Spinner's Rock...'

0:35:06 > 0:35:10That's me. From yesterday. In Caroline's office.

0:35:10 > 0:35:13- So Caroline's room was bugged? - Not just hers.

0:35:13 > 0:35:16This thing allows you to listen in on any room in Government House!

0:35:16 > 0:35:18Ah, Florence.

0:35:18 > 0:35:21So, my brother's friend had heard of Ellery Wallace.

0:35:21 > 0:35:23It turns out the Club Caribbean building site

0:35:23 > 0:35:25went straight through Ellery's village.

0:35:25 > 0:35:28Three years ago, soon after construction began,

0:35:28 > 0:35:31a young girl crossing the road in the village was killed

0:35:31 > 0:35:34by a Parrington Construction truck.

0:35:34 > 0:35:37It was Ellery's daughter. She was seven years old.

0:35:37 > 0:35:40Apparently Ellery's village had begged the construction company

0:35:40 > 0:35:42to use a different route for its trucks.

0:35:42 > 0:35:44But they had insisted there was no alternative.

0:35:44 > 0:35:45Gosh, that's awful.

0:35:45 > 0:35:48So now we know why Ellery crashed into that director's car.

0:35:48 > 0:35:51- He wanted revenge. - And there's something else.

0:35:51 > 0:35:54The person who awarded the building contract to the construction

0:35:54 > 0:35:56company in the first place?

0:35:56 > 0:35:57Caroline Bamber.

0:35:57 > 0:35:59What?

0:35:59 > 0:36:03Which begs the question, did Ellery Wallace know this?

0:36:03 > 0:36:05I think he's got a lot of explaining to do.

0:36:10 > 0:36:13My whole village had warned Parrington Construction

0:36:13 > 0:36:16that driving trucks past the school was dangerous.

0:36:16 > 0:36:19Telephone calls, letters, petitions.

0:36:19 > 0:36:22Amber had her whole life ahead of her.

0:36:22 > 0:36:25Was that the real reason you got a job at Government House?

0:36:25 > 0:36:26Yes.

0:36:26 > 0:36:29Because you blamed Caroline for her death?

0:36:29 > 0:36:31No.

0:36:31 > 0:36:34Why not? She was the one who gave the construction company the contract.

0:36:34 > 0:36:37Yes, but she wasn't the one insisting on driving trucks

0:36:37 > 0:36:40down that road, was she? I went to Government House cos

0:36:40 > 0:36:44I couldn't bear the idea of one more child being killed on that road.

0:36:44 > 0:36:47How were you going to stop that happening?

0:36:47 > 0:36:50I had heard Governor Bamber being interviewed.

0:36:50 > 0:36:53She seemed like an understanding person.

0:36:53 > 0:36:56I felt sure that if I could just tell her about Amber,

0:36:56 > 0:36:58she would do something.

0:36:59 > 0:37:03So I got a job as a security guard in Government House.

0:37:03 > 0:37:08And then, once I felt like Caroline knew who I was,

0:37:08 > 0:37:10I told her Amber's story.

0:37:12 > 0:37:14'She was horrified

0:37:14 > 0:37:17'and furious that no-one had told her about it before.'

0:37:19 > 0:37:20And did she act?

0:37:20 > 0:37:22I need to show you something.

0:37:37 > 0:37:39This is where Amber was killed.

0:37:43 > 0:37:45Listen.

0:37:45 > 0:37:48BIRDSONG

0:37:49 > 0:37:51No traffic.

0:37:51 > 0:37:53Caroline built a new road.

0:37:54 > 0:37:58It opened about eight months after I told her about Amber.

0:37:59 > 0:38:01It bypasses the village, so now

0:38:01 > 0:38:06all the tourist coaches and service trucks from Club Caribbean use that.

0:38:06 > 0:38:08Caroline was a true friend.

0:38:08 > 0:38:11When did Caroline promote you to her private secretary?

0:38:11 > 0:38:12A few months later.

0:38:12 > 0:38:16It was because of all this that she got to know me.

0:38:16 > 0:38:20So Caroline helped protect your village, she gave you a career hike.

0:38:20 > 0:38:22So how come you ended up bugging her office

0:38:22 > 0:38:23and the rest of Government House?

0:38:23 > 0:38:26- Because she asked me to.- What?

0:38:26 > 0:38:27Caroline was convinced that

0:38:27 > 0:38:31someone on her staff was leaking information to the French.

0:38:31 > 0:38:33About the emeralds?

0:38:33 > 0:38:34Andy Hammond told us.

0:38:36 > 0:38:38Yes. About the emeralds.

0:38:38 > 0:38:42She asked me to fit microphones to all the key rooms and listen in.

0:38:42 > 0:38:45What did you discover from your, uh, listening in?

0:38:45 > 0:38:50Nothing. I still have no idea who the leak was.

0:38:50 > 0:38:53- Can you prove that Caroline ordered you to do this?- No.

0:38:53 > 0:38:56But don't you think if I was spying on her,

0:38:56 > 0:38:59I would have removed all the kit from my office by now?

0:39:05 > 0:39:08Wow! Sir! You have to listen to this.

0:39:08 > 0:39:11It's from Caroline's office. Just before the party.

0:39:11 > 0:39:14Ellery's just tidying up loose ends with Caroline.

0:39:14 > 0:39:17'One last thing before you go to the party tonight, Governor -

0:39:17 > 0:39:20'that donation you wanted to give to the orphanage chairman,

0:39:20 > 0:39:22'it's there on the desk for you to check.'

0:39:22 > 0:39:23'Oh, I'm sure it'll be fine.'

0:39:23 > 0:39:25OK, now, listen to this.

0:39:25 > 0:39:26'Yes, Lucy?'

0:39:26 > 0:39:29I need a word. In private?

0:39:29 > 0:39:33I'll be back in a minute to take you through for your speech.

0:39:33 > 0:39:35What is it?

0:39:35 > 0:39:36Don't send that report.

0:39:36 > 0:39:40I told you. If you end it with Francois before I get on the plane, I'll drop it.

0:39:40 > 0:39:42- You know I can't do that. - That's your choice.

0:39:44 > 0:39:46Then you leave me no choice.

0:39:48 > 0:39:51Caroline wasn't the only one giving out an ultimatum.

0:39:51 > 0:39:53So how was Lucy about to punish her?

0:39:56 > 0:39:59So, have you heard back from the girl off the dating site?

0:39:59 > 0:40:01No, Miss 94% is resisting me so far.

0:40:01 > 0:40:04- It's early days. - Yes, but I am starting to wonder

0:40:04 > 0:40:07if adding a kiss at the end might've been the way to go.

0:40:14 > 0:40:16- Pull over!- What is it?

0:40:16 > 0:40:18- Over there. - The girl from the internet?

0:40:18 > 0:40:20No! Look.

0:40:22 > 0:40:25He was here last night. What is he up to?

0:40:30 > 0:40:31Let's follow him.

0:40:31 > 0:40:33I'll get Dwayne and JP to join us.

0:41:00 > 0:41:02- He's not walking naturally. - No. He's nervous.

0:41:18 > 0:41:21INAUDIBLE SPEECH

0:41:22 > 0:41:24- Wasn't that...?- Yes.

0:41:31 > 0:41:34THEY MOUTH SILENTLY

0:41:40 > 0:41:42Need a hand with that bag, Mr Hammond?

0:41:58 > 0:42:00He's gone, sir.

0:42:00 > 0:42:02HUMPHREY SIGHS

0:42:06 > 0:42:08You appear to be following me, Inspector.

0:42:11 > 0:42:14I'd like to see inside that bag.

0:42:14 > 0:42:15Sorry.

0:42:18 > 0:42:21I trust you know enough diplomatic etiquette not to insist.

0:42:23 > 0:42:27Article 29 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.

0:42:27 > 0:42:30Do you really want chapter and verse?

0:42:38 > 0:42:40Are you just letting him go?

0:42:40 > 0:42:44Had to. You can't stop and search a serving head of government, JP.

0:42:45 > 0:42:49Caroline didn't leave out any memos and there was no dishonest cleaner.

0:42:49 > 0:42:51Spying for the French!

0:42:53 > 0:42:55Now what on earth made you do that?

0:42:56 > 0:42:58Mr Hammond?

0:42:58 > 0:43:01A few months ago I interviewed for Caroline's replacement.

0:43:01 > 0:43:03Everybody on that panel knew I deserved the job.

0:43:03 > 0:43:05Yet still they snubbed you.

0:43:05 > 0:43:08Gave it to some Oxbridge tosser who'd spent his career in Brussels.

0:43:08 > 0:43:11Because I'm not up to it? No.

0:43:11 > 0:43:13Because I went to a red brick university

0:43:13 > 0:43:15and because I speak my mind.

0:43:15 > 0:43:17So you came up against a glass ceiling

0:43:17 > 0:43:20and when you bumped your head, you wanted compensation.

0:43:20 > 0:43:24I knew how much the information about the Spinner's Rock emeralds was worth.

0:43:24 > 0:43:28So you approached Francois, who probably couldn't believe his luck.

0:43:28 > 0:43:31How often have you been giving him information?

0:43:31 > 0:43:33Every couple of weeks.

0:43:33 > 0:43:35We'd arrange swaps for whenever

0:43:35 > 0:43:38Francois visited Government House for talks.

0:43:38 > 0:43:40I was due to give him the latest information

0:43:40 > 0:43:43- at Caroline's leaving party. In the gents.- But once she died,

0:43:43 > 0:43:46it was probably safer to use the streets than a crime scene.

0:43:46 > 0:43:48That's what you were doing last night.

0:43:48 > 0:43:50We were due to swap yesterday but Francois didn't turn up.

0:43:50 > 0:43:54- I think he was spooked after you visited him yesterday.- So...

0:43:56 > 0:44:00..you were betraying your bosses, your colleagues, your country.

0:44:00 > 0:44:02You've lied to us at every stage.

0:44:02 > 0:44:05Well, I think there's one more thing you haven't quite told us.

0:44:05 > 0:44:07That Caroline had worked out that you were the leak.

0:44:07 > 0:44:10That she was going to speak to your Security Department in London

0:44:10 > 0:44:12on her return, so you killed her.

0:44:12 > 0:44:16No! I could never do that. Not to Caroline.

0:44:17 > 0:44:18Not to anyone.

0:44:20 > 0:44:22Please. It wasn't me.

0:44:27 > 0:44:30So he committed espionage, but did he also kill Caroline?

0:44:30 > 0:44:32Or was it Lucy, backed into a corner

0:44:32 > 0:44:34about her feelings for Francois Tromeur?

0:44:34 > 0:44:37Well, whether it's Andy or Lucy,

0:44:37 > 0:44:39we still need to establish who wrote that letter.

0:44:39 > 0:44:41Hmm, yes, we keep coming back to this letter.

0:44:41 > 0:44:44Someone clearly wanted to save the Governor's life. But who?

0:44:46 > 0:44:48SELWYN CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:44:48 > 0:44:49- Ah.- Commissioner.

0:44:52 > 0:44:54Oh, what a surprise, sir. Is there anything we can help you with?

0:45:04 > 0:45:05Ah.

0:45:05 > 0:45:07HUMPHREY CLEARS THROAT

0:45:07 > 0:45:11I hope you know, sir, that we would never, ever question your integrity.

0:45:11 > 0:45:13On the contrary.

0:45:13 > 0:45:16My inclusion as a murder suspect

0:45:16 > 0:45:20seems to indicate one or two serious doubts on your part

0:45:20 > 0:45:22over my version of events.

0:45:22 > 0:45:24No, sir. No, not at all.

0:45:24 > 0:45:27Detective Inspector, I cannot vouch for what was done to

0:45:27 > 0:45:29Governor Bamber's champagne glass

0:45:29 > 0:45:31before or after my involvement, but...

0:45:34 > 0:45:38..no-one put poison in it

0:45:38 > 0:45:42while it was within my sight.

0:45:46 > 0:45:47Not even me.

0:45:49 > 0:45:51CAROLINE GASPS

0:45:51 > 0:45:52Gosh, you're right, sir.

0:45:54 > 0:45:57- You can't, can you? - Can't what?

0:45:58 > 0:46:01- SELWYN ECHOING:- 'When she arrived she went straight into her speech.'

0:46:01 > 0:46:03I thought she seemed a bit nervous.

0:46:03 > 0:46:05She wasn't nervous at all.

0:46:05 > 0:46:08But that doesn't answer the question of the letter.

0:46:08 > 0:46:10- FLORENCE:- 'Someone definitely wanted her dead.'

0:46:10 > 0:46:12Sir, you have to listen to this.

0:46:12 > 0:46:14Unless...

0:46:14 > 0:46:16It could be, could be.

0:46:16 > 0:46:17Where's that guest list?

0:46:20 > 0:46:22They weren't there.

0:46:22 > 0:46:24You see? They weren't at the party.

0:46:27 > 0:46:29That is very clever. That is very clever indeed.

0:46:29 > 0:46:31Dwayne,

0:46:31 > 0:46:34we have to get this warning letter over to the labs.

0:46:34 > 0:46:36Leave it to me, chief.

0:46:36 > 0:46:38Caroline had a serious clear-out.

0:46:38 > 0:46:40I wonder... I wonder...

0:46:55 > 0:46:59This is it. This is it.

0:47:00 > 0:47:01The whole thing makes sense now.

0:47:01 > 0:47:03Excellent.

0:47:10 > 0:47:11Er...

0:47:11 > 0:47:14Thank you all for joining me.

0:47:14 > 0:47:17I'm a busy man, so if you could be as brief as possible...

0:47:17 > 0:47:20Not really my long suit, being brief

0:47:20 > 0:47:23but seeing as I'm about to tell you who killed Caroline Bamber...

0:47:24 > 0:47:27You see, one of the things that puzzled me most about this case

0:47:27 > 0:47:30is just how was Caroline murdered?

0:47:32 > 0:47:34We know that she died after drinking a glass of champagne laced

0:47:34 > 0:47:36with a fatal dose of cyanide,

0:47:36 > 0:47:40but we also know that the bottle that was used to pour out her glass

0:47:40 > 0:47:41contained no poison.

0:47:41 > 0:47:47In other words, the cyanide must have been added directly to her glass.

0:47:47 > 0:47:48But how?

0:47:49 > 0:47:53Well, thanks to the Commissioner here, we were able to identify

0:47:53 > 0:47:57three people who might have been able to slip cyanide into the glass.

0:47:57 > 0:48:01That is assuming we discount the Commissioner himself here.

0:48:01 > 0:48:02- Which we do.- Indeed.

0:48:02 > 0:48:08But, in the end, that is how the cyanide got into Caroline's glass.

0:48:08 > 0:48:12It was added after the Commissioner picked it up.

0:48:12 > 0:48:15So, who DID poison Caroline's glass?

0:48:15 > 0:48:20Well, before we answer that, there is another question we need to consider.

0:48:20 > 0:48:23Just who was it who sent the anonymous letter to Caroline

0:48:23 > 0:48:25warning her that her life was in danger?

0:48:25 > 0:48:29It could only be someone 100% loyal to her.

0:48:29 > 0:48:31Someone like you, Ellery.

0:48:33 > 0:48:35It was you who sent the letter, wasn't it?

0:48:38 > 0:48:42- You knew somebody was trying to kill Caroline?- He did.

0:48:42 > 0:48:45Ellery was often more aware of what was going on in Government House

0:48:45 > 0:48:48than anyone, and Caroline's murder was no exception.

0:48:50 > 0:48:52Which brings us...to you three.

0:48:54 > 0:48:56You all had motives to want Caroline dead.

0:48:58 > 0:49:01Mr Hammond, you felt so snubbed at work,

0:49:01 > 0:49:03you were prepared to betray your own country.

0:49:03 > 0:49:06While I think that Caroline probably had her

0:49:06 > 0:49:08suspicions about your betrayal,

0:49:08 > 0:49:09you didn't kill her.

0:49:09 > 0:49:11HE SIGHS

0:49:13 > 0:49:15So, was it President Tromeur?

0:49:15 > 0:49:19We now know Caroline was blackmailing you.

0:49:19 > 0:49:21But you didn't kill her either.

0:49:22 > 0:49:24So now we are all rather looking at you, Lucy.

0:49:26 > 0:49:28After all, you knew that

0:49:28 > 0:49:31if Caroline had made your affair with Francois known,

0:49:31 > 0:49:34your career at the Foreign Office would be over.

0:49:34 > 0:49:37That's why I tried to leave the party that night.

0:49:37 > 0:49:40I was going to write my resignation letter so I could...

0:49:40 > 0:49:42- be with Francois.- Don't worry.

0:49:42 > 0:49:45I know you're also innocent,

0:49:45 > 0:49:47but I would hold off writing that resignation letter, though.

0:49:49 > 0:49:52So this is all rather baffling, isn't it?

0:49:52 > 0:49:56The whole point of this case is that right from the start

0:49:56 > 0:49:58nothing has been what it seems.

0:50:00 > 0:50:02In particular,

0:50:02 > 0:50:04the cyanide was the cyanide...

0:50:05 > 0:50:07..but it also wasn't.

0:50:09 > 0:50:11Isn't that right, Ellery?

0:50:14 > 0:50:16You killed Caroline Bamber.

0:50:19 > 0:50:21ELLERY LAUGHS, HUMPHREY LAUGHS

0:50:23 > 0:50:25I was in the kitchen the whole time.

0:50:25 > 0:50:27Yes, I know. Clever, weren't you?

0:50:28 > 0:50:31Getting a fatal dose of cyanide into a glass you never went near.

0:50:31 > 0:50:34I mean, that's some trick, isn't it?

0:50:34 > 0:50:37But then, as you well know...

0:50:37 > 0:50:39that's not how she was killed.

0:50:39 > 0:50:42So thank you for admitting you wrote this letter just now.

0:50:45 > 0:50:50Because we know this letter wasn't your attempt to save Caroline's life,

0:50:50 > 0:50:52it is, in fact, the murder weapon.

0:50:53 > 0:50:55You wrote the letter.

0:50:55 > 0:50:58You then put cyanide on the seal of the envelope,

0:50:58 > 0:51:00but not too much.

0:51:00 > 0:51:02You didn't want it to act too quickly.

0:51:02 > 0:51:04And then, just before the party,

0:51:04 > 0:51:07you used the trust that you had built up with Caroline

0:51:07 > 0:51:09over the last two years.

0:51:09 > 0:51:11And told her she had one last task to perform.

0:51:11 > 0:51:13In fact...

0:51:15 > 0:51:17..we even have a recording...

0:51:19 > 0:51:21..of that exact moment.

0:51:21 > 0:51:24'One last thing before you go to the party tonight, Governor.

0:51:24 > 0:51:27'That donation you wanted to give to the orphanage chairman,

0:51:27 > 0:51:29'it's there on the desk for you to check.'

0:51:29 > 0:51:31And there we have it.

0:51:33 > 0:51:34She didn't check the donation.

0:51:36 > 0:51:39She did what any boss would do who trusted her secretary implicitly.

0:51:39 > 0:51:43You knew the orphanage chairman had cancelled earlier in the day

0:51:43 > 0:51:46and that the envelope would therefore be found

0:51:46 > 0:51:49unopened in Caroline's handbag.

0:51:49 > 0:51:51It's there on the desk for you to check.

0:51:51 > 0:51:52Oh, I'm sure it'll be fine.

0:51:52 > 0:51:56She licked and sealed the envelope, sight unseen,

0:51:56 > 0:51:58not knowing that, at that very moment,

0:51:58 > 0:52:00she was also sealing her fate, and then...

0:52:02 > 0:52:04..well...

0:52:04 > 0:52:06as with all cyanide poisonings,

0:52:06 > 0:52:08the first thing she felt was a shortness of breath -

0:52:08 > 0:52:11what Mr Hammond mistook for nervousness.

0:52:13 > 0:52:17And then, as the cyanide began to move through her bloodstream,

0:52:17 > 0:52:20starving her heart and brain of oxygen,

0:52:20 > 0:52:22you made sure you were nowhere near her.

0:52:22 > 0:52:24I'll go and check on the canapes.

0:52:28 > 0:52:29CAROLINE GASPS

0:52:30 > 0:52:33Knowing that after she'd died, no-one would question you

0:52:33 > 0:52:35being the first person on the scene.

0:52:35 > 0:52:38Her trusted secretary.

0:52:38 > 0:52:40But you had one last job to do...

0:52:41 > 0:52:44..and this part was truly inspired.

0:52:44 > 0:52:46While everyone was looking at Caroline,

0:52:46 > 0:52:48and after she was already dead,

0:52:48 > 0:52:53only then did you put a lethal dose of cyanide into her glass.

0:52:53 > 0:52:58Knowing that we would presume it was this cyanide that had poisoned her.

0:52:58 > 0:53:01But that wasn't your only stroke of genius, Ellery, was it?

0:53:02 > 0:53:04Because it was also what you wrote in this letter.

0:53:05 > 0:53:08You knew that when we opened it we would find apparent proof that

0:53:08 > 0:53:11Caroline's death was connected to Spinner's Rock,

0:53:11 > 0:53:13which it wasn't, I hasten to add.

0:53:13 > 0:53:15But better than that, better than that,

0:53:15 > 0:53:18you knew it would never occur to us that we

0:53:18 > 0:53:20were holding the real murder weapon here in our hands.

0:53:20 > 0:53:24But why would Ellery, of all people, want Caroline dead?

0:53:24 > 0:53:29Exactly. Caroline was Ellery's mentor, his guardian angel.

0:53:30 > 0:53:33So something must have changed, something that meant

0:53:33 > 0:53:36she had to be killed now before she left the island.

0:53:37 > 0:53:39The day before Caroline's departure,

0:53:39 > 0:53:41Ellery was helping her clear her office

0:53:41 > 0:53:44and when I looked among the old documents

0:53:44 > 0:53:46that she'd buried in the back of her cupboard...

0:53:48 > 0:53:49..I spotted this.

0:53:52 > 0:53:54It's probably the Club Caribbean logo

0:53:54 > 0:53:56that caught your eye too, as it did mine.

0:53:59 > 0:54:02This is a proposal to build a new road for the

0:54:02 > 0:54:05Club Caribbean Holiday Village.

0:54:05 > 0:54:09It was written four years ago, 18 months before your daughter died.

0:54:09 > 0:54:12It was asking Caroline for her final approval.

0:54:13 > 0:54:15This is what she wrote:

0:54:15 > 0:54:18"With negligible fatalities likely on the existing road,

0:54:18 > 0:54:22"the cost of building a new road... cannot be justified."

0:54:24 > 0:54:26"Proposal rejected."

0:54:26 > 0:54:28This is why your daughter died,

0:54:28 > 0:54:31because Caroline thought the odd casualty

0:54:31 > 0:54:33too expensive to worry about.

0:54:34 > 0:54:35This is what you learned

0:54:35 > 0:54:38when you were helping her clear out her office that day.

0:54:39 > 0:54:44Which is when you finally understood, isn't it, Ellery?

0:54:44 > 0:54:46Everything Caroline had told you had been a lie.

0:54:46 > 0:54:50Your promotion, putting a new road to bypass your village, even.

0:54:50 > 0:54:52It was all about her, her

0:54:52 > 0:54:55and her attempt to get rid of her guilt.

0:54:57 > 0:55:00All because she knew she'd caused your daughter's death.

0:55:00 > 0:55:05In a way...that road was the death of her too, wasn't it?

0:55:08 > 0:55:12Do you know the last words she heard?

0:55:12 > 0:55:17Negligible fatalities. She knew exactly what I meant.

0:55:33 > 0:55:35Well done, inspector.

0:55:35 > 0:55:37A team effort, as always, sir.

0:55:37 > 0:55:40I wanted to say...sorry

0:55:40 > 0:55:43for the, well, awkwardness.

0:55:43 > 0:55:45No awkwardness,

0:55:45 > 0:55:47just as long as you keep on catching your man.

0:55:57 > 0:56:00She's replied! Miss 94%, she's replied!

0:56:00 > 0:56:01No way!

0:56:02 > 0:56:05"The subscription for the individual you were...

0:56:05 > 0:56:07"trying to contact has lapsed."

0:56:07 > 0:56:11- What?!- She's gone.

0:56:11 > 0:56:14No, this can't be happening! This can't be! Please!

0:56:17 > 0:56:19My perfect girl.

0:56:19 > 0:56:21Ah, don't worry, chief. It's not the end of the world.

0:56:21 > 0:56:25You're right, Dwayne. Well, I'm just going to have to track her down.

0:56:25 > 0:56:28- I don't follow.- Well, she's in the Caribbean. If I look hard enough,

0:56:28 > 0:56:31visit enough islands, I'm bound to find her eventually, aren't I?

0:56:31 > 0:56:34- Eventually.- Yes.

0:56:39 > 0:56:44So are you going to help him track down this girl?

0:56:44 > 0:56:47What? Go on a wild goose chase around the Caribbean?

0:56:47 > 0:56:49No, sir, count me out.

0:56:49 > 0:56:52I wish I'd never agreed to help him in the first place.

0:56:52 > 0:56:55I mean, what can you do with a man who falls in love with a percentage?

0:57:01 > 0:57:05Now I'm beginning to wonder if Dwayne is the right wingman for me.

0:57:06 > 0:57:08Really, Humphrey, why?

0:57:08 > 0:57:11- A slight clash of styles, perhaps. - Hm.

0:57:12 > 0:57:14Maybe you're right.

0:57:15 > 0:57:18So, Florence, do you think I should go on a search

0:57:18 > 0:57:19for Miss 94%?

0:57:19 > 0:57:21I suppose it would put off the day

0:57:21 > 0:57:24- when you have to actually speak to a women, sir.- Yes, I see.

0:57:24 > 0:57:27You think I'm hiding behind a screen, so to speak?

0:57:27 > 0:57:30- Perhaps.- Right.

0:57:33 > 0:57:36- Dwayne.- Chief. - I've decided something.

0:57:36 > 0:57:37- Really?- Yes.

0:57:37 > 0:57:39I've decided I'm not going

0:57:39 > 0:57:42- to scour the Caribbean for some tenuous Internet fantasy.- No?

0:57:42 > 0:57:47No, no more relying on algorithms to find the future Mrs Humphrey, the II.

0:57:47 > 0:57:50I'm going to talk to some real, live women.

0:57:51 > 0:57:54I'll be brave, confident and, well, who knows,

0:57:54 > 0:57:56maybe I'll somehow manage to bowl one of them over.

0:57:56 > 0:58:01- Crikey! Bottoms up!- Yes, aye.

0:58:05 > 0:58:08One of the models was found dead. She appears to have been strangled.

0:58:08 > 0:58:11Make a women laugh and you're halfway there.

0:58:11 > 0:58:14- Practice on Catherine.- Oh... - Try and make her smile.

0:58:14 > 0:58:17The time I played rugby at school, I did my best

0:58:17 > 0:58:20but all anyone could say was, "Nice try."

0:58:20 > 0:58:22Oh, that was kind of them.

0:58:22 > 0:58:25These women have been traumatised. They need handling gently.

0:58:25 > 0:58:28- One of them could be our killer. - You're right.

0:58:28 > 0:58:30What about the other two, eh?
