0:00:06 > 0:00:08Sorry!
0:00:08 > 0:00:10I'm coming!
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Sorry, I'm coming!
0:00:12 > 0:00:13Sorry, sorry...
0:00:15 > 0:00:16Sorry.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22Bit of an ordeal locking the station. Couldn't find my keys.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24- Er, shall we?- Absolutely.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28Merci.
0:00:31 > 0:00:36# Wonderful world, beautiful people
0:00:36 > 0:00:38# You and your girl
0:00:38 > 0:00:40# Things could be pretty
0:00:40 > 0:00:43# But underneath this there is a secret... #
0:00:43 > 0:00:47- Good evening.- Welcome to La Maison Cecile. We've been expecting you.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50My name is Elliot Taylor. This is my wife, Linda.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Humphrey Goodman. Er, this is my... Erm, er, this is Martha.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56- Hello. - Let's get you up to the hotel.
0:00:59 > 0:01:05# Girl and boy Let us try to give a helping hand
0:01:05 > 0:01:09# This I know and I'm sure
0:01:09 > 0:01:13# That with love we all could understand... #
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Irie. This is Mr and Mrs Goodman checking in.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Oh, we aren't actually married.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Elliot will take your bags to your room.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Now, if there's anything you need, you just let us know.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Welcome to La Maison Cecile. Mr Goodman. Mrs Goodman.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Yes, we aren't, erm... or rather, er, she isn't my...
0:01:31 > 0:01:33So if I could just take a copy
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- of the credit card that you booked with.- Yes, of course.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Oh! Cecile Dumas. Is this who the hotel's named after?
0:01:41 > 0:01:43That's right, madam.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Her husband was a very rich plantation owner from Saint Marie.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50He bought the island and built this house to show her how much
0:01:50 > 0:01:51he loved her.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54There you go, sir. You are in room six,
0:01:54 > 0:01:57which is just up the stairs and to the right.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- I hope you enjoy your stay. - Thank you.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Oh...
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Oh, it's lovely.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25- Oh, wow! - Oh, this is perfect, Humphrey.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Right. I'm going to go and unpack.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28OK.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- Good evening.- Hi!
0:02:43 > 0:02:47There you go, and in addition to what is on the menu,
0:02:47 > 0:02:49we also have our house speciality.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Grilled fresh lobster. I highly recommend it.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55I'll just get you an ice bucket for your wine.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Oh, damn it!
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- What's that?- I saw him earlier. One of the guests, I think.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- (Had a bit too much to drink.) - Oh, dear.- What's going on?- Nothing.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- Everything's fine.- You're drunk. - No, I'm not!
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Samuel, get Ernestine to make him a sandwich - he needs to sober up.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- Get off me.- Go upstairs. The guests will hear you.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13All right. I'm going.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20INDISTINCT CHATTER
0:03:24 > 0:03:26So this time next week, you'll be back in London.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Yeah. New job. New start. It's all rather exciting.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34I am going to miss Saint Marie, though.
0:03:34 > 0:03:35And you.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39It's been lovely, our little holiday romance.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40Who'd have thought it, eh?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43All those years ago, you serving me coffee and a blueberry muffin.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- Here we are. - Yeah. Here we are.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49To...chance encounters.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51To chance encounters.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54WOMAN SCREAMS
0:03:57 > 0:03:59What the hell was that?
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- What's going on? - Excuse me. Sorry.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Er, stay here, keep an eye on the guests.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Ernestine...?
0:04:13 > 0:04:15It's Charlie...
0:04:18 > 0:04:19Oh, God.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26He's dead.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01He's been stabbed - directly to the abdomen.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Oh, Charlie...
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Is he a guest?
0:05:04 > 0:05:05No. He's my brother.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Gosh, I'm so sorry.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Looks like someone broke in, possibly looking for something,
0:05:13 > 0:05:15when they got interrupted by your brother.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- Are there any valuables here that might have been taken? - Not that I can think of.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20They didn't take the laptop.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23What about his watch? It was his father's.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25- No watch. - We should call the police.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Er, actually, um, I AM the police.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Sorry. Should've mentioned.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34I'm Detective Inspector Humphrey Goodman. There's no wallet either.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Ernestine, when you came upstairs, did you see anyone else up here?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- No-one. - Apart from the main staircase,
0:05:39 > 0:05:42what other points of access are there to this floor?
0:05:42 > 0:05:44None. Do you think whoever did this might still be in the hotel?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46I doubt it. I imagine they'd have wanted to get
0:05:46 > 0:05:48out of here as quickly as possible.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51But there is a chance they might still be on the island.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54So if you're mooring a boat here, the only place is the jetty?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Yes, the rest of the shoreline's too rocky.
0:05:57 > 0:05:58- No beaches on the island?- No.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Can't see a boat...
0:06:02 > 0:06:04No. Neither can I.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09The killer must still be on the island. Now, how did they get in?
0:06:12 > 0:06:14So which one's Charlie's room?
0:06:14 > 0:06:15That's it, there.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Inspector?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Here...
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Oh, sorry. No,- I- should be doing that.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Don't be silly. You've had a shock.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Did you find anyone?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39No sign of anyone or any boat.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41But there's not much more any of us can do tonight.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44The paramedics won't be able to head over until the morning.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46And I'll arrange for my colleagues to join me first thing.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48In the meantime, I suggest everyone heads to bed.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51And make sure the doors and windows are locked, just in case.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53I'll have to secure the crime scene.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55So I'll need all the keys you have to Charlie's room.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- And the master, if there is one. - I'll get them.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Are you all right?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Me? Yeah, I'm fine, OK.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Martha, I couldn't borrow your brain for a minute, could I?
0:07:11 > 0:07:16So... So that's the balcony belonging to the victim's bedroom.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Whoever killed him climbed up there and broke in.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Here's the thing. Look...
0:07:22 > 0:07:23What am I looking at?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- The flowerbed. - There aren't any footprints.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Exactly. The soil's still perfectly raked.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33And if someone HAD climbed up there,
0:07:33 > 0:07:36there'd be signs of damage - broken flowers, ripped stems.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39But there's not a petal out of place.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40So what are you saying?
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Someone has staged that crime scene to look like a burglary gone wrong,
0:07:44 > 0:07:46committed by some unknown intruder.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49So there WASN'T an intruder?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51No, I don't think there was.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53In which case, you think it's someone from inside the hotel
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- who killed him?- I do.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Except, if that is the case...
0:08:01 > 0:08:03..then, there's a small problem.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Now, I noticed the victim fall down the stairs.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10You thought he'd had too much to drink.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Later on, I saw him come back from the kitchen,
0:08:13 > 0:08:16go through the dining room with a sandwich and go upstairs.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Ten minutes later, Ernestine, the hotel chef,
0:08:19 > 0:08:21went upstairs and discovered the body.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Which is when we heard the scream and you went to investigate.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26At which point, everyone in the hotel, apart from Ernestine,
0:08:26 > 0:08:28was downstairs. All the guests were with you in the dining room
0:08:28 > 0:08:30and all the staff were here in the hallway.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Then, I suppose one of them was already up there waiting for him.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Or they snuck upstairs after the...victim went into his room,
0:08:36 > 0:08:38killed him, and then snuck back down again
0:08:38 > 0:08:40before the body was discovered.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Yeah, but that's the thing, you see.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44There's no other way up to his room apart from this staircase.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46And I had full view from our table in the dining room
0:08:46 > 0:08:48the entire ten minutes.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50I would've noticed anyone going up and coming back down again.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- And I didn't.- Well, then, how did one of them manage to do it?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- Inspector. The keys you asked for. - Thank you.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Mrs Taylor, I wonder - was the deceased a smoker, do you know?
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Only, I found a packet of cigarettes on his bedside table.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Not since I'VE known him.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52It's just that they look like they're really rather out-of-date.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Was there anything else?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Nothing else. Thank you.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17CLATTER!
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Ooh.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Sorry. Was trying not to wake you.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25So I have to work, I'm afraid.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Not quite what I had planned for our last weekend together.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- Probably best if I head back to the mainland. Leave you to it.- Yes.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34See you tonight, though?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Yeah, of course.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45You might want to move that bag, though!
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Bye.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52So Martha's leaving the island? It's such a shame, sir.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Yes, it's all rather disappointing. Nonetheless,
0:10:54 > 0:10:56a murder has been committed and we have a duty to solve it.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- So what do we know?- What we know, Florence, is the victim
0:10:59 > 0:11:01is a man named Charlie Taylor.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04His body was discovered last night at ten minutes past ten
0:11:04 > 0:11:07by the hotel chef. A single stab wound to the abdomen
0:11:07 > 0:11:09seems to be what did for him.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11A 2cm non-serrated knife, by my reckoning.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13There's no sign of it at the scene.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16To all appearances, it looks like an intruder climbed up to
0:11:16 > 0:11:18the balcony outside Mr Taylor's room,
0:11:18 > 0:11:20broke in and was interrupted mid-robbery.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- But you don't think that's the case, sir?- No, I do not, JP.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25The flowerbeds and trellising beneath Mr Taylor's room
0:11:25 > 0:11:27show no signs of disturbance.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29So however the killer did make it into his room,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32it certainly wasn't via that balcony.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34So, what, you think it was someone from inside the hotel?
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Very possibly, Dwayne. Except there's one slight problem.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39We have a key witness
0:11:39 > 0:11:42whose statement undermines that theory entirely.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Really? Who's the key witness?
0:11:44 > 0:11:45It's me.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47- You, Chief?- Yes.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49What are the chances, eh?
0:11:53 > 0:11:57- And the other guests were down here also?- They were in the dining room
0:11:57 > 0:11:59visible to me at the time when the victim was killed.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02But I thought you said the hotel staff were downstairs as well?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05They were. Except they were out of my sight during the timeframe.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08So they must've been the only people who had the opportunity to kill
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Charlie Taylor. I just don't know how they managed to get up and down
0:12:10 > 0:12:12these stairs without me noticing.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15So, Florence, you and I need to talk to the staff.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18While we're doing that, Dwayne and JP, here's the key
0:12:18 > 0:12:21to the victim's room. You know what to do. Photographs. Fingerprints.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Bag the evidence. And look out for the knife that killed him.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Oh, and I noticed
0:12:25 > 0:12:28the, er, victim carrying a document folder earlier in the evening.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- Might be worth keeping an eye out for that.- Yes, Chief.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42So I'd like to start by asking where you all were
0:12:42 > 0:12:45in the ten minutes prior to the deceased's body being found.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Mr and Mrs Taylor?
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Er, I was in my office, going over the accounts.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52In the kitchen, clearing up for the night.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- You were both alone?- Yes.- Yes.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56And what about the rest of you?
0:12:56 > 0:12:58I was at the hotel reception all night.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00I was down in the wine cellar.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02But there wasn't anyone with me.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Ernestine, before you headed upstairs, where had you been?
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Out here.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10It gets hot in that kitchen, and I needed some air.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14So, to be clear, none of you have an alibi during the ten minutes
0:13:14 > 0:13:17in which the victim was killed? OK.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Did anyone else see Charlie before he went upstairs to his room?
0:13:20 > 0:13:24When he came into the kitchen to collect the sandwich,
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Elliot asked me to make him.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27He took the sandwich and left?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- Yes, he went straight up. - You saw him as well?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Thank you, Ernestine.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Does anyone know why Mr Taylor had been drinking?
0:13:37 > 0:13:39It was not like Charlie at all.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43I saw him returning from the jetty at the start of the evening.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44Does anyone know where he'd been?
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Looked like he had a folder with him.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51And how had things been with him recently? Any fallings-out?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Not as far as I'm aware.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55And the deceased ran the hotel with you?
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Not really. I mean, he had a share in it.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01But Charlie moved away about 20 years ago.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Our parents owned the place originally.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05We took it over from them.
0:14:05 > 0:14:06Charlie was involved in the early days,
0:14:06 > 0:14:08when I was off at university.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10But then he just got a bit bored with it all.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13It wasn't really Charlie's thing, was it, love?
0:14:13 > 0:14:15- No.- When did Charlie come back?
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- About three months ago. - Did he often visit?
0:14:18 > 0:14:19We hardly ever saw him, to be honest.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21His room was always here if he wanted it.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- So why did he come back now? - I have no idea.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28I had wondered if he might have got himself in a spot of bother.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Always lived a little on the edge, did Charlie.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34- How long was he planning to stay? - Didn't say.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37And what did Mr Taylor do for a living?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39I know he travelled around a fair bit.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Did some volunteering here and there.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46And what about everyone else - how well did you all know the deceased?
0:14:46 > 0:14:49I met him about three months ago when he first arrived.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50Me too.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53I met him when I started working at the hotel a couple of months back.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Ernestine?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58It was Elliot and Charlie's parents took me on here.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00I've known them most of their lives.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04I see.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Erm, I think that's all for now.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10We'll need a room to base ourselves in while we're here.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11Yeah.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13OK, thank you.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16You've all been very...helpful.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27HE YAWNS AND SIGHS
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Right then, Florence, let's work through what we know.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43Erm...
0:15:46 > 0:15:47Sir?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Sorry...erm... Erm, our victim...
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Charlie Taylor. 50 years of age.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Initial checks with immigration show he arrived on Saint Marie
0:15:55 > 0:15:57three months ago from Sudan.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Yes, recently returned home to the family nest,
0:15:59 > 0:16:02but interestingly, no-one seems to know why he came back.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Which leads us to our suspects...
0:16:04 > 0:16:07The victim's brother - Elliot Taylor.
0:16:07 > 0:16:1245. He studied hospitality and catering in Paris.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15And he's been running the family hotel since he graduated.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17And while he may be the younger of the two brothers,
0:16:17 > 0:16:20it seems Elliot is the more responsible of the pair.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21Linda Taylor...
0:16:21 > 0:16:2649. She and the victim's brother met when he was studying in Paris.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29They moved back after graduation and got married.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Around the same time the victim moved away.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Next is Samuel Palmer.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Hotel's waiter and barman.
0:16:36 > 0:16:3950 years old. Saint Marie born and bred.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41He's the only suspect to have form.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44He served a prison sentence some years ago for arson.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Might be worth getting hold of that case file.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Irie Johnson. Hotel receptionist. 28. Also local.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54He's been working at the hotel for two years now.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Background checks show he's a widower.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00His wife died three years ago in a boat accident.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Leaving him with one child. A daughter.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Goodness. Poor guy.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Finally, Ernestine Gray. 62 years old.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10She's the hotel's long-standing chef.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Worked here since she was 16.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Let us not forget, Florence,
0:17:14 > 0:17:16it was Ernestine who discovered the victim's body.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Of all our suspects, she was the only one who was alone
0:17:19 > 0:17:22with the deceased after he was last seen alive.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25But would she have had time to stab him and stage the crime scene?
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Admittedly she didn't have long. But it's not out of the question.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31At the very least, we should talk to her. DOOR OPENS
0:17:31 > 0:17:34OK, Chief, Sarge.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37So, we've processed the crime scene and I've bagged up all of the
0:17:37 > 0:17:39- victim's possessions.- Excellent.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Oh, I thought you might like to see this.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43It was on the floor next to the victim's desk.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45It's a UK telephone number.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- I wonder who he was calling. - Want me to check it out?
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Yes, yes, why don't you.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54I'm going to have a word with Ernestine.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- What are those? - Pomme surette. My favourite.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- Really? I've never heard of them. - They taste sweet and sour
0:18:11 > 0:18:15- all at once. Here, let me... - Thank you.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18I used to pick these for Elliot and Charlie when they were little boys.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- They couldn't get enough of them. - What were they like growing up?
0:18:22 > 0:18:25A bit like most brothers. One minute, they're best of friends.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Next, they can't stand the sight of each other.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- They were good kids at heart. - Why did Charlie leave
0:18:30 > 0:18:31all those years ago?
0:18:31 > 0:18:34I think he fell out of love with the place.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37It suited Elliot, you know? Charlie became restless here.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Like he was searching for something he couldn't find.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Wow! Sweet and sour all at once.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52So I'm guessing that you're stood there cos you think
0:18:52 > 0:18:55maybe I had something to do with Charlie's murder?
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Well, I wouldn't quite put it like that. But the truth is,
0:18:58 > 0:19:02there was a short period of time in which you and the victim
0:19:02 > 0:19:05were alone together, and in theory, you could've killed him.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09I know they only thought of me as the woman who cooked their dinners.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13But I loved them like they were my own. I would never hurt
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- either one of them.- Is there anyone you think might have done it?
0:19:17 > 0:19:21There was one thing. The other day, I was taking Charlie his lunch.
0:19:21 > 0:19:26And I heard raised voices. It was Charlie and Irie arguing.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Did you hear what it was about?
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Charlie was angry about something.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Saying he couldn't believe Irie thought he'd get away with it.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38Thank you.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48How're you getting on down here?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Oh, er, no sign of the stolen items.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54But I did find these knives in one of the drawers,
0:19:54 > 0:19:57but none of them match the width of the one used to kill Mr Taylor.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59You check the dishwasher?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- Dishwasher?- Yes.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04The one right behind you with the red flashing light on it.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Someone put on a wash for just ONE knife?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Two centimetres exactly. It's non-serrated.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24It's got to be the weapon, hasn't it?
0:20:24 > 0:20:27JP. Is there something the matter with you today?
0:20:27 > 0:20:29- With me? - With all due respect,
0:20:29 > 0:20:33it doesn't feel like you're performing at your absolute best.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39I-I didn't get much sleep last night, Dwayne.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Me and Rosey had our first row.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Wait. Your first row?!
0:20:43 > 0:20:47- Mmm.- How long have you two been together now? Six months, isn't it?
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Yes, and three days.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52And in all that time, you've never had one argument?
0:20:52 > 0:20:55I-I guess we just, you know, sort of, get on.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Or rather, we did.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03JP. Couples argue.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Especially married ones.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08All you need to do is pick up some flowers on your way home
0:21:08 > 0:21:10tonight, tell Rosey you're sorry,
0:21:10 > 0:21:13it was all your fault, and you love her very much.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Simple.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18But the thing is, Dwayne, I'm not so sure that
0:21:18 > 0:21:20it WAS all my fault.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23She had her part to play as well, you know?
0:21:23 > 0:21:26JP. There's something you have to understand.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28You're in a relationship with a woman.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31It's ALWAYS going to be your fault.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Now, come on, you need to start focusing on helping the Chief
0:21:34 > 0:21:36solve this murder.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37Capeesh?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Yes. Capeesh.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Would you mind telling me exactly what it is you know?
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Chief.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- Ah, JP, is this a dagger I see before me?- It sure is, Chief.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Erm, we, er, found it in a dishwasher. It was the only thing
0:21:57 > 0:21:59in there. And it's the right width.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02So having somehow made it upstairs and back down again
0:22:02 > 0:22:05without being noticed, the killer also went into the kitchen
0:22:05 > 0:22:07to dispose of the knife after they committed murder?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Let's get it back to the lab when we head back this evening.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Oh, and the stolen wallet and watch, any sign of those on your travels?
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- Not on the ground floor, I'm afraid, sir.- And not upstairs either, Chief.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20OK. Er, JP, maybe a search of the gardens when you're done here.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Those missing items have to be on the island somewhere.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Chief? I thought I'd make a start working through the victim's phone
0:22:27 > 0:22:30and laptop - see who's been calling and e-mailing.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- Very good.- And Chief...
0:22:32 > 0:22:35We found the document folder you was going on about.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36Oh, yes? What was in it?
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Empty.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Maybe Charlie Taylor gave whatever was in it to whoever it was
0:22:42 > 0:22:44he met yesterday afternoon.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Oh, yes. Hmm. Any joy with the prints on these cigarettes?
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Only the victim's prints were on it, sir. No-one else's.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Why would Charlie Taylor have a past-its-best packet of cigarettes?
0:22:54 > 0:22:56I mean, these must be decades old. Here, smell.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- Oooh!- Sir.- Yes?
0:22:59 > 0:23:02You should hear this. That phone number we found.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05- It's for the Metropolitan Police Fraud Unit.- Go on.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07They've been dealing with a spate of credit card cloning
0:23:07 > 0:23:09over the last six months.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Turned out the common link was this hotel.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14The victims had all stayed here.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17So they called through and ended up dealing with Charlie Taylor
0:23:17 > 0:23:21about it. He said he'd look into it. But they never heard back.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25So she still doesn't know who was behind the crime.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28All I could tell was that Charlie was angry about something.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Saying he couldn't believe Irie thought he'd get away with it.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33SHE might not know.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36But I think I do! Come on, Florence.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43- Er, Mr Johnson, I wondered if we could have a chat.- Oh!
0:23:44 > 0:23:49- Somewhere a bit more private, maybe? - OK. This way?- Yeah.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Why don't you have a little look around?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Sorry, you're saying that someone's been stealing
0:24:07 > 0:24:11- our customers' credit card details? - That's exactly what I'm saying.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13And I'm also saying that I believe it was you.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Me? What makes you think that it was me?
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Because I have a witness who overheard you and the deceased
0:24:18 > 0:24:20having an argument two days ago,
0:24:20 > 0:24:24in which Mr Taylor was clearly heard asking you "how on earth
0:24:24 > 0:24:26"did you think you could get away with it?"
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Yes, I remember that discussion.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31But it wasn't about any fraud going on.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34It was about something else, something unimportant.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39Sir. Two days ago. Text from an unnamed contact.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41"When's the next batch coming?"
0:24:41 > 0:24:45The reply - "We need to stop. They know."
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Please stop wasting our time, Mr Johnson.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03My daughter started school this year. She's four.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06My sister takes care of her when I'm here,
0:25:06 > 0:25:10but she has a job to hold down herself, and childcare isn't cheap.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13So you thought you'd earn a bit extra on the side?
0:25:13 > 0:25:15I met a friend of a friend at a bar.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18He heard what I did for a living. Knew I needed some cash.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21He said he thought we could help each other out.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25If I got him some names and card numbers, he'd pay me a good price.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27I knew it was a mistake.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29So you were doing it to help your daughter?
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Would it be fair to say that you would do anything for her?
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Whatever it takes to make sure you're there for her?
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Wait. You don't mean you think that I'd kill for her?
0:25:43 > 0:25:47Charlie Taylor was on to you. He confronted you and told you
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- he was going to pass your name on to the police.- No.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Which would mean you were looking at a minimum two-year sentence.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56How do you explain that to a daughter who's already lost
0:25:56 > 0:25:58- her mother?- I didn't kill Mr Taylor.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00I admit that he knew what I'd been doing.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02And, yes, he confronted me about it.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04But when I told him about Carly,
0:26:04 > 0:26:07that I couldn't let her see me go to prison,
0:26:07 > 0:26:11well, he understood. He said he would make it go away somehow.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15You have to believe me.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17For now, I guess we don't have a choice.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Because currently the only other person who can corroborate
0:26:20 > 0:26:23your story is, unfortunately, dead.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- You see, that makes no sense at all. - What's that, sir?
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Well, according to this, Brompton Cigarettes
0:26:36 > 0:26:38ceased production in 1993.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Which means that these cigarettes we found in Charlie's room are
0:26:41 > 0:26:43at least 24 years out of date.
0:26:43 > 0:26:48Maybe he kept them because they have a personal attachment?
0:26:48 > 0:26:51A packet of old fags? Why were they there, Florence?
0:26:51 > 0:26:52There has to be a reason.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57How are YOU getting on? Any further gen on our victim?
0:26:57 > 0:27:01It seems he spent most of his time abroad, employed as an aid worker.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Spent the last three years in Sudan.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07And before that he was working for Action Against Hunger in Kenya.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Crikey. Well, that's a bit more involving
0:27:09 > 0:27:11than doing a spot of volunteering.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Clearly a much more honourable guy than his brother led us to believe.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Charlie Taylor was evidently quite the altruist.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Thank you very much, Tinicia. You've been very helpful.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Yes. Bye-bye.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25- Chief, I've got something. - Hit me with it, Dwayne.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28I've been going through Mr Taylor's laptop.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31And I noticed he'd exchanged some e-mails with Jacob DeCosta.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33He's a local solicitor.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Handled the probate when my grandparents passed away.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38And what were he and our victim communicating about?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40It seems it was Jacob who wanted Mr Taylor to come back home.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43And I quote, "His head is buried in the sand.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45"I think it's time you came and did your bit."
0:27:45 > 0:27:47I wonder who "he" is? Elliot maybe?
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Well, that was Jacob's secretary.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51And she said that Charlie had been to their offices
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- yesterday afternoon. - To meet with Mr DeCosta?
0:27:54 > 0:27:56He's out with clients at the moment.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58- But I managed to get hold of Tinicia.- Tinicia?
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Jacob's secretary.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Me and her...kind of hit it off during the probate, you know?
0:28:04 > 0:28:08Anyway, I got her to book me in for an early appointment with him
0:28:08 > 0:28:09first thing tomorrow morning.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13- Good work, Dwayne.- Er, er, Chief, I think you should know this.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15On the night he was killed, Charlie Taylor had booked
0:28:15 > 0:28:18to fly back to the Sudan. There was an e-ticket in his inbox.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20He was planning to leave? When?
0:28:20 > 0:28:22First thing this morning. He was due on the 7am flight.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Really? How come no-one knew about this?
0:28:24 > 0:28:26It's strange he didn't appear to tell anyone.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Isn't it?
0:28:28 > 0:28:31And why all of a sudden did he decide he needed to go?
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Something must have prompted that decision.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Anyway, it's, um, it's getting late.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38We need to get the boat back before it gets dark.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44You should get off, sir. I'm sure Martha would be glad to see you.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Yes, it would be nice to spend some time with her,
0:28:46 > 0:28:48if you can manage without me.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51- Right, I'll see you all in the morning.- Chief.- Bye.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55So, JP, you going home past the florist's this evening -
0:28:55 > 0:28:58- make things up with Rosey? - Why? What's happened?
0:28:58 > 0:29:01JP's in the doghouse. They had their first row last night.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Well, er, the thing is, Dwayne, um,
0:29:03 > 0:29:05I've been thinking about your advice.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08And while I'm very grateful for it,
0:29:08 > 0:29:10and you're obviously very wise with these things,
0:29:10 > 0:29:13I don't want me and Rosey to be the kind of husband and wife that
0:29:13 > 0:29:14don't talk about our stuff.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16I want us to be able to sit down and, you know,
0:29:16 > 0:29:18work through our issues, you know?
0:29:18 > 0:29:20- Oh, man.- Ignore him, JP.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22That sounds very mature of you.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24OK. You do as you please.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26But don't say I didn't warn you.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30# Oh, Cherry, oh, Cherry, oh, baby
0:29:30 > 0:29:34# Don't you know I'm in need of thee?
0:29:34 > 0:29:35# If you don't believe it's true
0:29:35 > 0:29:40# What have you left me to do? #
0:29:40 > 0:29:41- Boo!- Oh!
0:29:43 > 0:29:46- Oh, good Lord. Something's happened. - Hello.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50- I'm, um, cooking dinner. - Yes, so I can see, erm...
0:29:50 > 0:29:54- Gosh, you're messier than I am! - Oh, sorry. Got a bit carried away.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56- But there is method to the madness. - Right?
0:29:56 > 0:29:59- Where did I put the parsley? - Oh, er, the, er...
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Oh! Um, how's the case going?
0:30:02 > 0:30:06Um, well, yes, er, our murderer - not unlike your parsley -
0:30:06 > 0:30:07is proving to be rather elusive.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11But, um, we'll get to the bottom of it, I'm sure.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16There's wine on the veranda. Why don't you go and pour yourself
0:30:16 > 0:30:18- a glass.- Yes, I-I think I'll leave you to it!
0:30:30 > 0:30:32This is fantastic.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Sorry about the ice bucket. It's all you had.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36I love it.
0:30:46 > 0:30:47Here we are.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Wow!
0:30:49 > 0:30:51You don't mind lobster two nights in a row?
0:30:51 > 0:30:54You can never have too much lobster - that's what I always say.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58So you've been reading a little local history?
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Yeah, I got it from the library.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04That story about Cecile Dumas, it's actually really rather sad.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08The REAL reason her husband bought the island and built that house
0:31:08 > 0:31:11for her wasn't some grand gesture of romantic love.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14It was because he was worried that she'd fallen in love
0:31:14 > 0:31:16- with another man.- Really? So he moved her onto the island
0:31:16 > 0:31:19to try and keep her out of temptation's way?
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Poor Cecile.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25Well, come on. Let's eat it before it gets cold.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28Er, yeah, this is the, er, first time I've cooked lobster,
0:31:28 > 0:31:30- so be kind.- OK.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- Or perhaps just be careful.- OK. OK.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Mmm! It's delicious!
0:31:42 > 0:31:44- Really?- Really.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57Are you all right, Humphrey?
0:31:57 > 0:31:59Sorry? Yes.
0:32:00 > 0:32:01Couldn't be better.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26HE WHISTLES
0:32:31 > 0:32:33- Morning, Dwayne. - Ey, ey, ey! What the blood...?!
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Things didn't go quite as I planned with Rosey.
0:32:36 > 0:32:41I just don't know what went wrong. We sat down to discuss it
0:32:41 > 0:32:42like proper grown-ups. We both agreed
0:32:42 > 0:32:45that it was a silly argument, and it should never have happened.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49- And the next thing, it just happened again!- But I told you...
0:32:49 > 0:32:53I know. I know, OK? You don't need to say it.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57- I should have just listened to you. - Yes, JP, you should have.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00You forget I know a thing or two about a thing or two.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03That's why I'm not the one standing there without any clothes on.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Now, stop moping and go and get dressed.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09We've got 15 minutes to get to the solicitor's office,
0:33:09 > 0:33:11and Tinicia does not tolerate latecomers.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13So hurry up!
0:33:13 > 0:33:16- Go on!- OK.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25So the postmortem came through this morning, sir.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29It confirms the victim died from profuse internal bleeding from
0:33:29 > 0:33:31a single stab wound to the abdomen.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33And I also heard back from the lab.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35As we expected, they were unable to recover any prints from the knife.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39What do you think?
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Sir?
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Good. That's good, Florence.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52- What've you got there?- Victim's phone. Dwayne said there were
0:33:52 > 0:33:56- quite a few photos on it. Thought I'd look through.- Really?
0:33:56 > 0:33:57Anything of interest?
0:33:57 > 0:33:58A few from his travels.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01But mostly from when he was here at the hotel.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04As a kid. Some of his parents.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06A lot of his brother.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Yes, I can't help but sense that Elliot feels
0:34:08 > 0:34:10a little spurned by his brother.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12But I don't think that Charlie necessarily felt the same -
0:34:12 > 0:34:16if he kept all those photos of him. It's interesting.
0:34:17 > 0:34:22So, to recap. We have five possible suspects.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25And now, unless we find any evidence to prove otherwise,
0:34:25 > 0:34:28our instinct is telling us that Ernestine Gray is not the killer.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30- Which leaves us with... - Elliot and Linda Taylor.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32The owners of the hotel.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36- Samuel Palmer.- La Maison Cecile's resident waiter and barman.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38- And the receptionist.- Irie Johnson.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41But just how did one of them do it,
0:34:41 > 0:34:43when none of them were seen sneaking up or coming back down the
0:34:43 > 0:34:45one staircase leading up to Mr Taylor's room?
0:34:45 > 0:34:48Just how, Florence? How did they manage it?
0:34:48 > 0:34:52Sir, you should take a look at this.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Um, that's Charlie, right - as a teenager?
0:34:55 > 0:34:59It's not him you should be looking at.
0:34:59 > 0:35:00Good Lord.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Samuel Palmer. The waiter.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05He said he first met Charlie Taylor when he started working here
0:35:05 > 0:35:08- two months ago.- They clearly knew each other when they were teenagers.
0:35:08 > 0:35:13That church they're stood outside, it's St Peter's.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16I'm sure that was the church where the fire was started.
0:35:16 > 0:35:21- Fire?- Samuel Palmer's arson charge. Let me check the case file.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25I'm right.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29He set fire to the community centre attached to St Peter's Church.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31He was 16 at the time.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34Roughly about the same age I'd say he looks in this photo.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Well done, Florence.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42When I started working here, Charlie didn't want anybody knowing
0:35:42 > 0:35:44- that we used to be friends.- Why not?
0:35:44 > 0:35:45Because he was as responsible
0:35:45 > 0:35:49for starting that community centre fire as I was.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Only, he didn't get caught.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55You're saying you and Charlie started the fire together?
0:35:55 > 0:35:58It was a stupid teenage prank that went wrong.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00And you took the rap for him?
0:36:00 > 0:36:04When the police asked me if anyone else was involved, I said no.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07You served five years. That's quite a favour.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11He was my friend. He would've done the same thing for me.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14Why did you start working here after all this time?
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Let's say life hasn't been too kind these past few years.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19I heard Charlie was back at the hotel.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21- I came to him for help.- For money?
0:36:21 > 0:36:23He said things were a bit tight at the moment.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25But he heard Elliot saying
0:36:25 > 0:36:27they needed a new hotel waiter and barman.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30Charlie suggested me. Said he had a recommendation.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33But without letting anyone know you used to be friends?
0:36:33 > 0:36:34He cared about people.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38And I could see it still haunted him, what he did.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Seeing me go off to prison.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45You want to know why he kept it secret?
0:36:46 > 0:36:48It's because he felt ashamed, Inspector.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52It must've cast quite a shadow over your life.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55People don't often look kindly on ex-offenders.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57What's your point?
0:36:57 > 0:36:59My point is, your life hasn't ended up too well,
0:36:59 > 0:37:01thanks to that prison sentence.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03And all the guy who you covered for could offer in return
0:37:03 > 0:37:05was a job as a hotel waiter and a barman.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08It's not exactly the greatest of thank-you presents, is it?
0:37:08 > 0:37:11You think I stabbed Charlie because I was angry
0:37:11 > 0:37:13that he had nothing more to offer me than a job?
0:37:13 > 0:37:16You want to walk in my shoes, Inspector.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19Then you might understand that I have nothing but gratitude
0:37:19 > 0:37:21for what Charlie did for me.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26How long have you been a smoker, Mr Palmer?
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Since I was 14 or so.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30And what about Charlie - did he smoke back then?
0:37:30 > 0:37:33On and off. But he never really took to it.
0:37:33 > 0:37:34His mother didn't approve,
0:37:34 > 0:37:37so he was always too busy worrying he'd get caught.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Mmm-hmm.
0:37:40 > 0:37:41Thank you.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48So what do you think, sir? Is Mr Palmer telling the truth?
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Well, he seems convincing enough, Florence.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54And if he is, the picture he paints of Charlie Taylor tallies
0:37:54 > 0:37:56with the one Irie Johnson presents.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59That of a man with a strong conscience.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Dwayne, JP, what news?
0:38:01 > 0:38:05So we've just got back from speaking to Jacob DeCosta.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07And the reason Jacob had been in communication with
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Charlie Taylor in the last six months is because it turns out
0:38:09 > 0:38:12this hotel is on the brink of bankruptcy.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16And according to him, the business is failing big-time.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19And Elliot has been refusing to acknowledge how serious it all is.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22- So Linda was aware of the situation? - Well, Mr DeCosta says
0:38:22 > 0:38:25she's no better than her husband at dealing with these things.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26She just does whatever he says.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30That's why Jacob got in contact with Charlie. Says he's more level-headed
0:38:30 > 0:38:32and realistic when it comes to the family business.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- And that's what the meeting was about yesterday?- Jacob and Charlie
0:38:35 > 0:38:37have arranged for the hotel to go into liquidation.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Charlie went to pick up the paperwork to bring it back
0:38:39 > 0:38:41here for him and Elliot to sign.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45So that's what was in the document folder Charlie was carrying.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47But if that's the case, where are the documents now?
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Dwayne, JP, I'd like you to search Mr Taylor's office,
0:38:50 > 0:38:52- see if you can find those papers. - Yes, Chief.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Florence, let's go and speak to the Taylors.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01- Mrs Taylor...- Inspector.
0:39:03 > 0:39:04Where's your husband?
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Erm, he's, er, er, gone to drop some mail at the boat.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08He'll be back shortly.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Is everything all right, Mrs Taylor? You seem edgy.
0:39:13 > 0:39:17I...I haven't slept well over the...past few nights - these, erm,
0:39:17 > 0:39:21help keep me calm. It's all been a bit...a bit tough-going.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24- Yes, yes. I can imagine.- Elliot!
0:39:24 > 0:39:26It's all right, love. I'm here...
0:39:28 > 0:39:30- What's happening? - We know, Mr Taylor.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32What do you mean, "we know"? What do you know?
0:39:32 > 0:39:36Everything. We know that the hotel is in financial trouble.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39We know Charlie had returned to the island to convince you to put
0:39:39 > 0:39:41the business into liquidation.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45- That's why he met with your family solicitor yesterday.- Sir?- Yes.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48They were shoved to the bottom of his waste-paper bin.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Thank you, JP.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55Three separate copies. All signed and dated by Charlie Taylor.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57And yourself.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00I imagine it wasn't quite so hard for Charlie to say goodbye
0:40:00 > 0:40:02to this place, having been absent for the last 20 years.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05But getting you to put your signature to these papers -
0:40:05 > 0:40:07I sense that would've taken quite some doing.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Three months I've had of him going on at me about it.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13Saying we don't have a choice. But you always have a choice.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16You can give up and go or you can stay and fight on.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Do you not think maybe all Charlie was trying to do was help you?
0:40:19 > 0:40:21How can what he did be seen as some sort of act of kindness?
0:40:21 > 0:40:24As good as bullied me into it, he did.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27Is that why he'd been drinking last night - Dutch courage?
0:40:29 > 0:40:31So what happened next?
0:40:31 > 0:40:33- Next?- Well, he'd forced your hand, literally,
0:40:33 > 0:40:36into signing these papers. So, what,
0:40:36 > 0:40:38you decided he wasn't going to have his way after all?
0:40:38 > 0:40:41You were going to do whatever you needed to cling on to this hotel?
0:40:41 > 0:40:44What? No! I didn't kill him.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47He was my brother, for Christ's sake!
0:40:47 > 0:40:52What my husband is trying to say is that we did not kill Charlie.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56But we did take the documents from his room.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00When Charlie was found dead, I realised there was
0:41:00 > 0:41:03an opportunity to stop the liquidation going through.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07You didn't give me all the keys to Charlie's room, did you?
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Inspector, the keys you asked for.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12I told her not to do it.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Later that night, I went back to Charlie's room.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17It was stupid, I know.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19I thought if no-one ever finds them...
0:41:19 > 0:41:22No-one would ever know the papers were signed, and La Maison Cecile
0:41:22 > 0:41:24would live on to fight another day.
0:41:24 > 0:41:29We could've got through it, you know - this rough patch.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Busy season's just round the corner.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34We could survive, I'm sure of it.
0:41:37 > 0:41:38So...
0:41:38 > 0:41:39Ow!
0:41:39 > 0:41:42We find ourselves presented with four suspects,
0:41:42 > 0:41:45all of whom had reason to benefit from Charlie Taylor's death.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48And all of whom have lied to us in some way or another
0:41:48 > 0:41:51over the past two days. So which one of them did it?
0:41:51 > 0:41:53- Sorry, Dwayne, what are you doing? - Oh, sorry, Chief.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56I think I picked up a splinter on the boat on the way over.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58I'm sorry to hear that, but maybe you could deal with it later.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00- Of course. Carry on, Chief. - Florence?
0:42:00 > 0:42:02All of the suspects were downstairs
0:42:02 > 0:42:05at the time that the victim was murdered upstairs.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08And as none of them were seen using the only possible means
0:42:08 > 0:42:10- of access to his bedroom... - The staircase.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14..then there is nothing to say that they are not telling the truth.
0:42:14 > 0:42:15She's right, Chief.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Yes, it's impossible. Isn't it?
0:42:17 > 0:42:20And you know the most infuriating part of it all?
0:42:20 > 0:42:24I-I was there, I was there the night it happened.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26We're not relying on some second-hand,
0:42:26 > 0:42:28half-remembered statement from a witness here.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30I-I was there,
0:42:30 > 0:42:33and I saw all four suspects down in the hallway after the body
0:42:33 > 0:42:36had been found. Dwayne, please will you stop picking at your finger?!
0:42:36 > 0:42:38- It is so distracting.- Sorry, Chief.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42It's...it's really hurting me and I can't seem to get
0:42:42 > 0:42:43the damn thing out!
0:42:43 > 0:42:48I'm sorry, it's me - I'm not really myself today. I'm not...
0:42:55 > 0:42:58- Wait a minute.- Sir?
0:42:58 > 0:43:02Tell me. If you would. What am I?
0:43:02 > 0:43:03Er, what are you, Chief?
0:43:03 > 0:43:06I went into the woods and got it. I sat down to seek it.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08I brought it home because I could not find it. What am I?
0:43:08 > 0:43:14- I don't know.- A splinter! I'm a splinter! Good Lord, Dwayne.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16Thank heavens for your splinter. Because if we use that
0:43:16 > 0:43:19as a starting point, it suddenly all starts to make sense.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22And I had full view for the entire ten minutes.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24- He came into the kitchen. - ..clearing up for the night...
0:43:24 > 0:43:25I was at the hotel reception.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27- ..in my office... - ..down in the wine cellar.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30Someone put on a wash for just ONE knife?
0:43:30 > 0:43:31Looks like someone broke in.
0:43:31 > 0:43:34- What about his watch? - There's no wallet either.
0:43:34 > 0:43:37He was always too busy worrying he'd get caught.
0:43:37 > 0:43:39Why? I don't understand?
0:43:40 > 0:43:42Why? His phone...
0:43:42 > 0:43:44Photos! They're not there.
0:43:44 > 0:43:47- Of course. That's why! - They moved back and got married.
0:43:47 > 0:43:49Around the same time the victim moved away.
0:43:49 > 0:43:52Charlie became restless here. Like he was searching
0:43:52 > 0:43:53for something he couldn't find.
0:43:53 > 0:43:55Poor Cecile.
0:43:55 > 0:43:56The story is actually really rather sad.
0:43:56 > 0:43:59- Planned to leave? When? - First thing this morning.
0:43:59 > 0:44:02- Of course it was!- Hm?
0:44:02 > 0:44:04It's all clear to me now.
0:44:04 > 0:44:07- You know?- Yes. I know.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10- Shall we gather everyone together, Chief?- No!
0:44:11 > 0:44:13No, not this time.
0:44:13 > 0:44:15Perhaps it's better if we deal with this a little differently.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18I need to go and check something in the victim's bedroom first.
0:44:18 > 0:44:21- Er, Florence, if you wouldn't mind coming with me.- Of course, sir.
0:44:21 > 0:44:24- Dwayne, JP, I need you to fetch someone.- Who, Chief?
0:44:24 > 0:44:26The person who murdered Charlie Taylor.
0:44:32 > 0:44:34Shall we?
0:44:53 > 0:44:54Please, sit down.
0:44:58 > 0:45:00What's going on?
0:45:00 > 0:45:02You killed Charlie Taylor.
0:45:02 > 0:45:05Oh, don't be absurd. Of course I didn't.
0:45:05 > 0:45:07Please. We know what happened.
0:45:07 > 0:45:09I know you didn't mean to do it.
0:45:09 > 0:45:13But you did nonetheless murder your husband's brother. Didn't you?
0:45:14 > 0:45:15Oh, God...
0:45:18 > 0:45:21I'm so, so sorry.
0:45:21 > 0:45:24It was one of my colleagues getting a splinter in his finger that
0:45:24 > 0:45:25led me to solving this case.
0:45:25 > 0:45:29A tiny little splinter made me alight upon something
0:45:29 > 0:45:31I just hadn't considered before.
0:45:31 > 0:45:34That a person can receive an injury in one location,
0:45:34 > 0:45:38and then carry it with them to another.
0:45:38 > 0:45:41And therein lies the answer to our riddle.
0:45:41 > 0:45:44Charlie was not stabbed in this bedroom.
0:45:44 > 0:45:48He was stabbed downstairs in the hotel kitchen.
0:45:48 > 0:45:49By you.
0:45:53 > 0:45:56You know, when I saw him walking up that staircase two nights ago,
0:45:56 > 0:45:58I assumed that he was staggering because he was drunk.
0:45:58 > 0:46:01When actually, the real reason he was so unsteady on his feet
0:46:01 > 0:46:04was because he'd sustained a fatal injury.
0:46:05 > 0:46:07Charlie proceeded to his bedroom.
0:46:07 > 0:46:11And set about staging the scene to look like robbery gone wrong.
0:46:11 > 0:46:12But why?
0:46:12 > 0:46:16Why, when his life was ebbing away, would he choose to make everyone
0:46:16 > 0:46:18think that the person who wielded that fatal blow
0:46:18 > 0:46:19was someone other than you?
0:46:20 > 0:46:23We found some photos on Charlie's phone.
0:46:24 > 0:46:27Something to remind him of his past here on the island.
0:46:27 > 0:46:29Family.
0:46:29 > 0:46:31Friends.
0:46:31 > 0:46:34Lots of his brother, Elliot.
0:46:34 > 0:46:35An awful lot.
0:46:35 > 0:46:38But not a single one of you.
0:46:39 > 0:46:42Almost like he was trying to erase you from his memory.
0:46:42 > 0:46:44During this investigation,
0:46:44 > 0:46:48no-one we talked to could seem to make much sense of why
0:46:48 > 0:46:51Charlie decided to leave this island 25 years ago.
0:46:51 > 0:46:53Charlie became restless here.
0:46:53 > 0:46:56He just got a bit bored of it all.
0:46:56 > 0:46:59Like he was searching for something he couldn't find.
0:46:59 > 0:47:01I don't think either of them were right.
0:47:01 > 0:47:03Charlie left this island 25 years ago
0:47:03 > 0:47:07because that's the very same time you arrived on the island.
0:47:07 > 0:47:11We know that after you and Elliot graduated in Paris,
0:47:11 > 0:47:14you came back to La Maison Cecile and got married.
0:47:14 > 0:47:18I hadn't met Charlie before we moved here from Paris.
0:47:18 > 0:47:21I hadn't even visited the island.
0:47:21 > 0:47:25I can remember the first time I saw him standing on the jetty
0:47:25 > 0:47:26as the boat pulled in.
0:47:28 > 0:47:33And...I just knew in that moment.
0:47:33 > 0:47:34Straight away.
0:47:37 > 0:47:39We both did, I think.
0:47:39 > 0:47:40That you were in love?
0:47:40 > 0:47:42We tried to ignore it.
0:47:43 > 0:47:49But the more you deny something like that, the more it consumes you.
0:47:49 > 0:47:51Yeah, I imagine it must've broken both your hearts
0:47:51 > 0:47:53to have to give each other up.
0:47:53 > 0:47:54But if that's what had to be done
0:47:54 > 0:47:56to avoid Charlie hurting his brother, betraying him...
0:47:58 > 0:47:59..then that's what he would do.
0:47:59 > 0:48:03If there's one thing we've learned about Charlie Taylor,
0:48:03 > 0:48:06he was a man driven by compassion.
0:48:06 > 0:48:08He understood.
0:48:08 > 0:48:10He cared about people.
0:48:10 > 0:48:12Charlie Taylor was evidently quite the altruist.
0:48:12 > 0:48:15Which is why, when Jacob DeCosta got in contact with Charlie
0:48:15 > 0:48:19and alerted him to the dire financial situation the hotel
0:48:19 > 0:48:23was in, Charlie realised that his brother needed his help.
0:48:23 > 0:48:26So he came back. We can't know exactly what happened
0:48:26 > 0:48:29between you and him these last few months.
0:48:30 > 0:48:33I assume you both realised the love that was denied to you
0:48:33 > 0:48:37all those years ago was as strong as it ever was.
0:48:37 > 0:48:40We tried, we tried so hard.
0:48:41 > 0:48:43Which brings us to the evening of the murder.
0:48:45 > 0:48:48The reason Charlie had been drinking wasn't, as we thought,
0:48:48 > 0:48:49because of his having to get Elliot
0:48:49 > 0:48:51to agree to sign the liquidation papers.
0:48:51 > 0:48:55It was a Dutch courage of a very different nature.
0:48:55 > 0:48:58We found out Charlie had booked a flight to return to his work
0:48:58 > 0:48:59in Sudan the very next morning.
0:48:59 > 0:49:03He knew that once he'd got Elliot to sign the papers,
0:49:03 > 0:49:07it was time to force himself to leave this island again
0:49:07 > 0:49:10and resume living life without you in it.
0:49:10 > 0:49:12Charlie had been drinking that night because he knew
0:49:12 > 0:49:15he had something very hard to do.
0:49:15 > 0:49:18He had to say goodbye to the only woman he'd ever loved.
0:49:18 > 0:49:21I mean, that's why he was in the state he was in.
0:49:21 > 0:49:24I think Charlie, feeling the worse for wear, entered the kitchen
0:49:24 > 0:49:27that evening not because he needed food, but to come and talk to you,
0:49:27 > 0:49:30- to tell you he was leaving. - I can't do this any more.
0:49:30 > 0:49:33And in that moment, your heart just broke all over again.
0:49:33 > 0:49:36I-I imagine you tried to convince him otherwise,
0:49:36 > 0:49:39made what desperate attempt you could to make him not go.
0:49:39 > 0:49:41I think you realised
0:49:41 > 0:49:44that having spent the best part of your life living on an island
0:49:44 > 0:49:46stuck with a man you'd never really loved in the first place,
0:49:46 > 0:49:49that you weren't ready to give up on a chance of true happiness.
0:49:49 > 0:49:52So you begged him to take you with him.
0:49:52 > 0:49:53But he refused.
0:49:53 > 0:49:55It would mean betraying his brother.
0:49:55 > 0:49:59Devastating him with the revelation that his wife and brother had
0:49:59 > 0:50:03been secretly in love with each other since the day they met.
0:50:03 > 0:50:06So we don't know exactly what happened.
0:50:06 > 0:50:09But, somehow, somehow, as he made to leave,
0:50:09 > 0:50:13to abandon you to a life of misery, things got out of hand.
0:50:14 > 0:50:17It was the thought of him walking away again,
0:50:17 > 0:50:19I don't know what happened to me.
0:50:19 > 0:50:21I just got so angry.
0:50:21 > 0:50:23I'm leaving in the morning and I'm not coming back.
0:50:23 > 0:50:26'I reached for the knife and I threatened him.'
0:50:26 > 0:50:30No! 'I told him I'd make him tell Elliot if I had to.
0:50:30 > 0:50:34'He tried to take the knife off me, but I wouldn't let him have it.'
0:50:34 > 0:50:38I just thought that, if I kept trying, if I...if I didn't give up,
0:50:38 > 0:50:42I could convince him not to leave me.
0:50:42 > 0:50:44And that's when it happened.
0:50:49 > 0:50:52'I didn't mean to, but I stabbed him.'
0:50:54 > 0:50:56It was in that moment he knew.
0:50:56 > 0:50:59He knew he had only minutes left to live.
0:50:59 > 0:51:01By the time the paramedics made their way out on the boat,
0:51:01 > 0:51:03he'd be dead.
0:51:03 > 0:51:06And he knew the result of you killing him would not only
0:51:06 > 0:51:08mean the woman he loved going to prison...
0:51:08 > 0:51:11But also that his brother would discover the one thing
0:51:11 > 0:51:13Charlie never wanted him to know.
0:51:13 > 0:51:16That his wife and brother were in love.
0:51:17 > 0:51:20So he decided to cover up for what you'd done.
0:51:20 > 0:51:24I assume he hid his injury then said he'd sort everything.
0:51:24 > 0:51:26Linda! Give me the knife!
0:51:26 > 0:51:30He took the knife and put the dishwasher on.
0:51:30 > 0:51:31It's going to be OK.
0:51:33 > 0:51:35He took the sandwich, so everyone
0:51:35 > 0:51:37would assume that's why he'd been in the kitchen.
0:51:37 > 0:51:39And when he got back to his room,
0:51:39 > 0:51:42I think he knew he didn't have long left.
0:51:42 > 0:51:45But all he cared about was making sure that the truth would
0:51:45 > 0:51:46never come out.
0:51:46 > 0:51:49Charlie was protecting the woman he loved.
0:51:49 > 0:51:52To convince us that whoever killed him had managed to get away,
0:51:52 > 0:51:56he needed to make it look like the wallet and watch had been stolen.
0:51:56 > 0:51:59I assume he also had to get rid of whatever he'd used
0:51:59 > 0:52:02to stem the blood. So how did he achieve this vanishing act?
0:52:06 > 0:52:07The answer lies with this.
0:52:07 > 0:52:10Since you'd known Charlie, he'd never smoked, you told me.
0:52:10 > 0:52:14You see, I later discovered that he did once smoke, when he was younger.
0:52:14 > 0:52:15His mother didn't approve,
0:52:15 > 0:52:18so he was always too busy worrying he'd get caught.
0:52:18 > 0:52:21So maybe these cigarettes were a remnant of his brief spell as
0:52:21 > 0:52:22a teenage smoker.
0:52:22 > 0:52:25If Charlie was worried about his mum finding out that he smoked,
0:52:25 > 0:52:28well, then, maybe he had a secret place
0:52:28 > 0:52:30where he used to hide his cigarettes.
0:52:30 > 0:52:34And if he did, then maybe that's where he hid the wallet
0:52:34 > 0:52:36and the watch.
0:52:38 > 0:52:41The packet was here when I first found it.
0:52:41 > 0:52:44So if he'd taken it out to make room for the items he wanted to hide,
0:52:44 > 0:52:46then the secret hideaway must be close by.
0:52:46 > 0:52:48There were spots of blood here on the floor.
0:52:48 > 0:52:51Charlie must've left them when he went to hide the wallet and
0:52:51 > 0:52:54the watch. So wherever he put them must be...
0:52:56 > 0:52:57..somewhere...
0:53:01 > 0:53:02..near here.
0:53:07 > 0:53:10And here we have the final missing piece.
0:53:15 > 0:53:18Your scarf, I believe.
0:53:20 > 0:53:23But also the wallet and the watch.
0:53:26 > 0:53:29Even though he must have been crippled with pain,
0:53:29 > 0:53:32Charlie went out of his way to lead us away from the truth
0:53:32 > 0:53:34of what had happened. He did it because he loved you.
0:53:34 > 0:53:36And he loved his brother.
0:53:37 > 0:53:39And he wanted to protect you both.
0:53:39 > 0:53:41He knew he was going to die.
0:53:41 > 0:53:45But if he could die knowing that the truth would not be discovered,
0:53:45 > 0:53:48then at least he could die with some sense of peace.
0:53:48 > 0:53:50He was that close to achieving it.
0:53:50 > 0:53:53If it wasn't for an out-of-date packet of cigarettes.
0:53:56 > 0:53:59Mrs Taylor, I'm afraid we will have to arrest you. I-I'm sorry.
0:53:59 > 0:54:03I think it's unavoidable that your husband will find out what happened.
0:54:05 > 0:54:08If you want to take a few minutes,
0:54:08 > 0:54:10to tell him yourself...
0:54:11 > 0:54:13Thank you, Inspector.
0:54:27 > 0:54:29Fancy a beer? Huh?
0:54:29 > 0:54:31I better not.
0:54:32 > 0:54:35I think I'm going to buy them flowers for Rosey.
0:54:35 > 0:54:39So you've finally decided to take my advice, huh?
0:54:39 > 0:54:41Ah... I guess so.
0:54:45 > 0:54:48Hey. What's the problem?
0:54:50 > 0:54:53Look, I just don't want it to feel like I'm saying sorry to...
0:54:53 > 0:54:55to have an easy life, you know?
0:54:55 > 0:54:57Then, when you say it, mean it.
0:54:57 > 0:54:59And the next time you and Rosey have a row,
0:54:59 > 0:55:01maybe she'll be the one to apologise.
0:55:01 > 0:55:03It's give and take.
0:55:03 > 0:55:07Isn't that what they say about a good marriage? Huh?
0:55:07 > 0:55:09Yes.
0:55:09 > 0:55:11You're right. They do.
0:55:11 > 0:55:13Well, then. There you go.
0:55:14 > 0:55:17- Thank you, Dwayne. - Any time.
0:55:18 > 0:55:20And they ask me why I never got married.
0:55:29 > 0:55:33Well done, sir. That wasn't easy, what you had to do today.
0:55:36 > 0:55:37Night, Florence.
0:55:41 > 0:55:43Sir.
0:55:45 > 0:55:47I hope you don't mind me asking,
0:55:47 > 0:55:50but you haven't quite seemed yourself today.
0:55:52 > 0:55:54In truth, Florence,
0:55:54 > 0:55:56well, you see something really rather awful
0:55:56 > 0:55:58- appears to have happened.- What?
0:55:58 > 0:56:01Last night, I was having dinner with Martha and...
0:56:01 > 0:56:02I realised that...
0:56:04 > 0:56:06..that I love her.
0:56:07 > 0:56:10- And that's a bad thing? - Well, yes, it is, rather.
0:56:11 > 0:56:14Because any day now, she's going to leave my life forever.
0:56:14 > 0:56:16So what are you going to do?
0:56:16 > 0:56:20As seems to be my way with affairs of the heart, Florence...
0:56:22 > 0:56:23..I haven't a clue.
0:56:31 > 0:56:32I haven't a clue.
0:56:48 > 0:56:51Here in the Caribbean, cricket is in our blood.
0:56:51 > 0:56:55- Jerome Martin, 45...- Found dead in the middle of Honore cricket pitch,
0:56:55 > 0:56:57having been shot in the heart.
0:56:57 > 0:57:00I loved my husband a great deal, despite everything he'd done.
0:57:00 > 0:57:01This was meant to be a holiday romance,
0:57:01 > 0:57:03and I stupidly fell in love with her.
0:57:03 > 0:57:06I'm your partner! This really big thing about your past -
0:57:06 > 0:57:08and I had no idea about it.
0:57:08 > 0:57:10Chief, come on! Airport!
0:57:10 > 0:57:12That's it! That's her plane! Go, go!
