0:00:03 > 0:00:08Chapter three. Jim Harvey was tired of people trying to kill him...
0:00:10 > 0:00:13Hmm... To shoot him - no, that's too on the nose.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16To rub him out.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18To whack him.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20KNOCK ON DOOR
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Sorry to interrupt you, darling. He's here.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30- Oh.- Don't worry. - No, no.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36- I can print out another.- Oh, no.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40I'm, I'm Larry, Larry South, I'm the old sod's agent.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44And you must be, erm...? Yes, Gillian P White.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Er, Frank's told me so much about you.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50All lies, I'm sure.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Oh! Talk of the devil!
0:00:54 > 0:00:56There he is! Larry!
0:00:58 > 0:01:00CLAPPING
0:01:04 > 0:01:0640 years!
0:01:06 > 0:01:08For the life of me, I can't think where they've gone.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12But I do know how lucky I've been to have your unswerving support.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16My loyal agent.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17My darling wife.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Without you, I would've long since chucked in the towel.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21So, here's to you both.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26And here's to another 40!
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- Another 40!- 40 more!
0:01:30 > 0:01:38Erm...I'd just like to say, Frank, I've learned so much from you
0:01:38 > 0:01:44and Valerie, I'm so grateful to you for letting me stay here.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45CHAIR SCRAPES
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Shall I get coffee on?
0:01:47 > 0:01:51No. Who wants coffee? More champagne!
0:01:54 > 0:01:55Oh, Larry!
0:01:55 > 0:01:56Whoa!
0:02:52 > 0:02:53Have you seen Frank?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Won't he be in his office?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57If he was, I wouldn't be asking, would I?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02He left a note saying he'd gone for a swim to cool off.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03He should be back by now.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I'm going to go down, see if he's still there.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10What's going on?
0:03:16 > 0:03:17Frank?
0:04:02 > 0:04:03HE MURMURS
0:04:03 > 0:04:06ECHOING: Dwayne! Wake up!
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Hmm? What?
0:04:07 > 0:04:08Made you a brew.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- RADIO:- Yes, listeners, are you feeling the heat,
0:04:13 > 0:04:15are you ready to rumble?
0:04:15 > 0:04:16Because it's that
0:04:16 > 0:04:20time of year again when Saint Marie becomes an island of love.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Erzulie time!
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Great thing about being just us fellas, you can have a
0:04:24 > 0:04:28dirty big fry-up any day of the week and there's no-one to stop you.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30How many sausages would you like?
0:04:30 > 0:04:32I don't think I could handle anything this early, Chief.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Of course you can. Can't go to work on an empty stomach.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Here! What's this Erzulie business they're on about?
0:04:38 > 0:04:42It's a festival. It honours the voodoo Goddess of Love.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44The whole island goes mad for it.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Which reminds me, it's tomorrow night!
0:04:47 > 0:04:50We've got to get ourselves a date, Chief!
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Not sure I'm ready to fish in that particular river just yet.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Yeah. Of course.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Yeah, but you go on ahead. Did you lose something, Dwayne?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Ah. My uniform trousers. I've got to iron them!
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Never saw the point in ironing myself.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09A good shake works just as well.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10PHONE RINGS
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Florence! What can I do for you?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17There's been a murder.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Gotcha. OK. Be right there.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Dwayne! Better get those pants on. There's been a murder.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Frank O'Toole. This is his estate.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29The house is up there.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Not Frank O'Toole the novelist?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34That's right, sir. He's lived on the island for 20 years.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37He went for a swim early this morning and some fishermen
0:05:37 > 0:05:39found his body floating a couple of hours later.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Right. What time are we talking?
0:05:41 > 0:05:45About seven. They were on their way in with the morning catch.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46That was some catch.
0:05:46 > 0:05:4835 snapper and a dead novelist.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50I'm really sorry about this, by the way.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Had to leave in a hurry, couldn't bear to waste it.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Siobhan sends them over specially.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Whoa! Looks like she means business.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59That's the voodoo goddess Erzulie Dantor.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01She's the reason for the festival.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Jeepers! Wouldn't want to meet her on a dark night.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12What have we got so far, fellas?
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Well, I just spoke to the fishermen,
0:06:14 > 0:06:17and they said they saw Frank wading into the water on their way
0:06:17 > 0:06:18out, around five.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Five! That's an ungodly hour for a swim.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23It would only just be getting light.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Did they see anyone go in after him?
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Not that they mentioned.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Frank left his towel and his shoes over there on the rocks.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33And some time during the next two hours...
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Someone stabbed him in the heart out at sea.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36Is that a diving knife?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Yes, Chief. Very common round here.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Be very difficult to trace.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47There's a thousand ways to kill a man.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Shoot him, strangle him, run him over, poison his tea.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53They all get the job done.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55So what the heck would possess you to stab
0:06:55 > 0:06:56a man in the middle of the ocean?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Five o'clock this morning, Frank went for a swim.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Was that out of character?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07No, not the swimming, but the timing was.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11I... I was usually awake before he was.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14And this swim was unplanned? Nobody knew he was going?
0:07:14 > 0:07:18No. We were all asleep. He left me this.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25"Too hot to sleep. Gone for a quick dip. F."
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Could he not just've switched on the air conditioning?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30It's given up the ghost.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34And what time did you all go to bed last night?
0:07:34 > 0:07:38I went first, at about a quarter to 12.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41And then I was asleep when he came to bed.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45And I wasn't far behind you. Ten minutes or so.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51Frank and I stayed up, hitting the cognac for a while.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54No idea when we called it a night. Late.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56So you were the last person to see Frank alive?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59I suppose...I must've been, yeah.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01Apart from the killer.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09And how was Frank the day before he died? Any unusual behaviour?
0:08:10 > 0:08:16No. He finished work about midday, when Larry turned up, and then...
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Champagne stocks look perilously low.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21I think I'll nip into town and, er, replenish.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23I'll come with you.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27No, no, you're our guest, Larry. You make yourself at home.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31May I?
0:08:38 > 0:08:39Whose work is this?
0:08:39 > 0:08:40It's mine. Why?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43It's absolutely top-notch.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Do I detect a hint of coconut in that icing?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48A little bit.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Ooh, forgive me, but we have to ask,
0:08:51 > 0:08:54can anyone think of a reason someone might want Frank dead?
0:08:55 > 0:08:56No. Dear God, no.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03He could be a belligerent old bugger,
0:09:03 > 0:09:07but no-one had any reason to bump him off.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Oh, would you look at that?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12You'd never go thirsty around here, would you?
0:09:12 > 0:09:15There's a good case-and-a-half of champagne
0:09:15 > 0:09:18and the dust tells me it's been there for a while.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21But Frank didn't think there'd be enough for the four of you?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Well, he must've forgotten that they were there.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32So, besides "belligerent", how would any of you describe Frank?
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Well, if you want to know who my husband was,
0:09:37 > 0:09:39you should start by reading him.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45With My Little Eye.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47"Hard-bitten code-breaker Jim Harvey
0:09:47 > 0:09:50"tracks a deadly assassin to Ecuador."
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Thanks, I'll give it a read. Sounds like a real page-turner.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Right. Well, if any of you think of anything that might be relevant,
0:09:59 > 0:10:01please be sure to drop me a line.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Detective Jack Money?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Ah. No. That's a typo.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12I only got these done yesterday, and wouldn't you know it,
0:10:12 > 0:10:14they've misspelled my name.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Should say Mooney.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25Still, close enough, eh? No point wasting another tree.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34You know what's niggling me?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37How on earth did the killer know that Frank'd be going for a swim?
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Maybe they'd been keeping watch?
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Yeah, but why would they be watching the house at five in the morning?
0:10:42 > 0:10:43On the off-chance? Which makes me
0:10:43 > 0:10:46think it's more likely to be someone inside the house.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Someone who just happened to hear or see Frank leave
0:10:49 > 0:10:50and seized their moment.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52We know his wife was sleeping beside him.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55If anyone was going to notice him go for a swim...
0:10:55 > 0:10:57True. But all the bedrooms face that way.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00So the killer could've been any one of those three people?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03You would think. Hmm. Right.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Let's start by finding out who this man was. Dwayne, JP...
0:11:06 > 0:11:08I need you to turn the place inside out.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- Anything that could remotely be of interest.- Yes, sir.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Here. Let me!
0:11:16 > 0:11:18No. No, need, it's all right.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19No, I insist.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22It's Gilly, isn't it? You're the housekeeper?
0:11:22 > 0:11:27No. I'm, er, well, I was Frank's research assistant.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29And protege, I suppose.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32I'm so sorry. A fellow scribe?
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Yeah! Well, no! I aspire to be.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Not published anything. Yet.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Right. And what brought you out to the island?
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Frank. He invited me out.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47I've always been a fan, as long as I can remember.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Looks like it was quite a party.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55Yeah. I'm afraid I made a bit of a fool of myself.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56Champagne!
0:11:59 > 0:12:02It was a mistake to try and keep up with Frank and Larry.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06Earlier, when DS Cassell asked if anyone could think of a reason
0:12:06 > 0:12:10why someone might want Frank dead, you didn't say anything.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12But I couldn't help noticing you looked at Larry.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19I didn't. I mean, I wouldn't read anything into that.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Well, I'm afraid that's what I do. Read things into things.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Sort of goes along with being a detective.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31I mean, I'm sure it's probably nothing, but, I sat
0:12:31 > 0:12:34in the garden after dinner last night, I was trying to sober up...
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Frank and Larry had gone inside to drink cognac but,
0:12:37 > 0:12:40after about 20 minutes, they started arguing.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Like I said, it's, it's probably nothing.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47I wasn't really operating at full capacity.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Well, thanks all the same. It all helps to paint a picture.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55Lovely cake!
0:13:02 > 0:13:03Just as I suspected.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Nobody forgets they've got 18 bottles of champagne.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08This is the exact same stuff that was in the house.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Even got the same dust on it.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12So Frank didn't go into town to buy champagne?
0:13:12 > 0:13:15He may have gone into town, but it wasn't to buy champagne, that's for sure.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Trouble is, he went alone.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19So your guess is as good as mine as to where he went.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Sir. See here. Tyre tracks.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28They're fresh. Let's get Dwayne and JP onto it.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30See if anyone in the house owns a motorbike
0:13:30 > 0:13:32or had any deliveries this morning.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43This Frank O'Toole was a pretty big deal.
0:13:43 > 0:13:4411 awards.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47But check the dates. Nothing since 1989.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- And take a look around.- Hmmm.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Manual typewriter. Fax machine.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53The man was stuck in a time warp!
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Of course, this would be a lot quicker
0:14:00 > 0:14:02if I had a bit more help, Dwayne!
0:14:02 > 0:14:06Huh? Listen! It's all right for you, you know!
0:14:06 > 0:14:08You've already got a beautiful wife.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11I've got less than a day to find someone.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13And you know what they say.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Alone for Erzulie, alone all year long!
0:14:16 > 0:14:18And I don't like being on my own.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19WHIRRING
0:14:20 > 0:14:22What did you press?
0:14:22 > 0:14:24"Last message received."
0:14:29 > 0:14:31My castaway this week is a prolific author,
0:14:31 > 0:14:35writer of the bestselling Jim Harvey spy thrillers.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36Frank O'Toole. Welcome, Frank.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Pleasure to be here, Sue.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41I love this show. It's a real institution back home.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45He has to choose eight records to take to a desert island.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- They leave him on an island? Alone? - Er, no, no, no, no, no.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52It's not a real island. It's hypothetical.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56- So, tell me about your first record? - I've chosen The British Grenadiers
0:14:56 > 0:14:59by the marching band of the Blues and Royals.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01A marching band? Really?
0:15:01 > 0:15:03What's wrong with you?
0:15:03 > 0:15:07You could've had Dylan or The Beatles! And you chose this?
0:15:07 > 0:15:13But if you're stranded on an island, why do you care about music? You just want to stay alive, no?
0:15:13 > 0:15:15No, Florence, er, you're still not getting it.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17It's not a real island,
0:15:17 > 0:15:21it's just a, a way to get the person to reveal something of themselves.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23I was hoping it might give me some insight into Frank,
0:15:23 > 0:15:27but all it's told me so far is... he had woeful taste in music.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31And what about his book? What does that tell you?
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Yeah, well, this Jim Harvey's a bit of an idiot, to be honest with ya.
0:15:34 > 0:15:3813 pages in, he's already slept with a woman he's supposed to be spying on - while drunk.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39I assume Frank's ex-military?
0:15:39 > 0:15:44- How did you...?- Only an old soldier goes misty-eyed for a marching band.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Was Frank O'Toole his real name or a nom de what's it?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Plume. Oh, no. He was born Francis Toole.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52He just added the "O".
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Wanted to sound like a real Irishman. And who can blame him?
0:15:55 > 0:15:57He wrote 40 novels, one a year.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02Last night, they celebrated 40 years since his first publication.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Frank had two failed marriages until he met
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Valerie O'Toole. 54.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10She was an actress but she gave it all up
0:16:10 > 0:16:13when she married Frank 23 years ago. Then there's...
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- The ten percenter. - Larry South. Late 60s.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19He discovered Frank when he was just a local reporter.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Right. But we know from Gilly there was tension.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25They were arguing just last night. And there she is.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28The research assistant slash protege slash cake baker.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Gilly White. Late 30s.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35Worked in a bookshop until three months ago, somewhere called Stoke?
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Ah, yes, Stoke. A lovely spot.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39So, how did she get from there to here?
0:16:39 > 0:16:41I'm working on it.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44All we know so far is Frank invited her, we don't yet know how they met.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47And now we come to your luxury.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49What have you chosen to take with you?
0:16:49 > 0:16:54Well, Sue. Er, the one item I really couldn't live without is a decent
0:16:54 > 0:16:55cup of English breakfast tea.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00A cup of tea? That's the one thing you'd take?
0:17:00 > 0:17:03You're stuck on an island, for flip's sake!
0:17:03 > 0:17:06One word for you, sir. Sausages.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09That's not the same thing at all, Florence.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11They were exceptional sausages.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12Here we go, Chief.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Every single thing from Frank's house
0:17:14 > 0:17:16that might conceivably be of interest.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18But you might want to look at this first, sir.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Frank was sent this fax late last night.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23He was about to sign with a new agent?
0:17:25 > 0:17:28So Larry not only faced the threat of being discarded by an old
0:17:28 > 0:17:30friend after, what, 40 years,
0:17:30 > 0:17:34but also losing what must've been a fairly hefty income.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35No wonder they were arguing.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Just so you know, I don't normally hit the sauce this early.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43My nerves are a tad jangly just now.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49It pains me to tell you this, but... Frank's best days were behind him.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52No-one would publish his last two novels. He blamed me.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57That's what you were arguing about last night? After the dinner?
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Oh, that was just a bit of nonsense really.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01We were both three sheets to the wind.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05Frank was telling me that he was going to sign with a new agent.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08I need someone young and dynamic.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11And you think that'd make the blindest bit of difference, do you?
0:18:11 > 0:18:12It won't!
0:18:12 > 0:18:14He just did that to get a rise out of me.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18I'm sorry to be the one to tell you.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Ah! Well, there you go.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Frank switching agents.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33I assume there'd be financial implications for you.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37As I told you, the golden goose had stopped laying eggs some time ago.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Thank you for your time, Mr South.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46I dare say Frank's murder won't do his book sales any harm.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47I suppose you're right.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50I just haven't thought of it in those terms.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52No?
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Well, it seems to me that a thriller writer dying in mysterious
0:18:55 > 0:18:59circumstances, well, you can't buy that sort of publicity, can you?
0:18:59 > 0:19:00What's your point?
0:19:02 > 0:19:05It just strikes me that poor Frank is not really in a position
0:19:05 > 0:19:08to enjoy his renaissance, but you'll still get your,
0:19:08 > 0:19:11what is it, 10% of every penny he makes.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Jesus! I may be an agent, but I'm not THAT ruthless!
0:19:18 > 0:19:22So, JP, what's the story with those financial checks?
0:19:22 > 0:19:26So I've gone back over the last five years, sir, and it seems the
0:19:26 > 0:19:30O'Tooles didn't have a lot of money - not as much as we'd think, anyway.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33So Larry was right. Book sales aren't what they were.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I guess, from his wife's perspective,
0:19:35 > 0:19:38he's worth a lot more dead than alive.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42Chief, I checked out those tyre tracks like you asked.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45They belong to a small scooter, but no-one in the house owns one,
0:19:45 > 0:19:48and they've had no deliveries in the last week.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Well, someone was outside that house on a scooter, and recently.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55I've managed to pull up some more information about Gilly White.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00Here's the home page of her social media profile. Take a look.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Ah, the social media page. God's gift to detectives.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08A year ago, she got engaged to the manager of the bookshop
0:20:08 > 0:20:11in Stoke, Dean Shanks, and if the comments from their friends
0:20:11 > 0:20:15are anything to go by - "Where are you, Gilly?"
0:20:15 > 0:20:16"How could you do this to Dean?"
0:20:16 > 0:20:21And here's one from Dean himself, "Call me! Please! I need answers!"
0:20:22 > 0:20:24She recently cut off all contact.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28Right, let's see if we can't set up a video chat with this Dean fella.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Hear what he has to say for himself.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Frank O'Toole decides, on the spur of the moment,
0:20:33 > 0:20:36to go for an early-morning dip.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37He tells no-one he's going,
0:20:37 > 0:20:39just leaves a note on his pillow.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Yet, one of these three - the wife, the agent, the protege -
0:20:42 > 0:20:44gets wind of the fact, rouses themselves from their heavy
0:20:44 > 0:20:47post-champagne slumber, and follows him down to the beach.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49No sign of a boat.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52So we assume they swim out after him, and then...
0:20:52 > 0:20:55But why not stab him on the beach or in the house?
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Why wait till he's out to sea?
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- No witnesses, I suppose.- Ah.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04Not much chance of recovering DNA,
0:21:04 > 0:21:07not from a million square miles of open water.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15She's been following me around the island.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19I thought I'd seen just about every saint going. She's something else.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23They say, if you make her an offering, she will bring you love.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25What sort of offering?
0:21:25 > 0:21:28She loves knives, rum and unfiltered cigarettes.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Oh, I knew a girl like that once back in County Cork.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Butcher's daughter. Eimear. Biggest hands I've ever seen on a woman.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40Look, I know we didn't really talk a lot at school, Darlene, but I always...
0:21:40 > 0:21:41Did we ever speak?
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Well, not with, you know, actual words.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48But you were a bit younger than me!
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Only a bit?
0:21:50 > 0:21:51All right, a lot.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54But if I'd known you was going to grow up to look like this!
0:21:54 > 0:21:58- Oh, wow!- So now, years later, the day before Erzulie,
0:21:58 > 0:21:59you find yourself
0:21:59 > 0:22:03without a date, so you run around the bar in a panic to see
0:22:03 > 0:22:04the only woman standing on her own.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07No! It's not because you're on your own, Darlene.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09And it's not because I'm panicking.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14It's because you're the most beautiful woman on the island.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18You know what?
0:22:19 > 0:22:23Every year at Erzulie, I get taken to the same restaurant,
0:22:23 > 0:22:24and I eat the same meal.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Just once, I wish someone would make a real effort.
0:22:32 > 0:22:38I like a man who can cook. Can you cook, Dwayne?
0:22:42 > 0:22:43Excuse me a minute.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Don't look now, but the most beautiful woman on the island
0:22:50 > 0:22:53just agreed to let me cook her an Erzulie meal.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58So I decided I was going to cook her some of my "sure thing" chicken,
0:22:58 > 0:23:01but then I remembered I don't live on my own.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Oh. Right. No, don't you worry, Dwayne.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Understood. I'll make myself scarce.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10You won't even know I'm there.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16SHOWER RUNS
0:23:16 > 0:23:17DWAYNE SINGS
0:23:21 > 0:23:25Pete's sake, Dwayne, you must be clean by now?
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Hold on there, Chief. You can't rush the regime.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31It takes a lot of time and effort to look this good.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34I swear you take longer in the bathroom than anyone I've ever met.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36And I've got four sisters! And they're big girls!
0:23:40 > 0:23:42It's like he's never heard of personal space.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46I guess it's a while since he lived with anyone that wasn't family.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50But I'm not family. He's meant to be my boss!
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Pathology reports have come through.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Cause of death, definitely the stab wound.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59And they found some tiny fibres under Frank's fingernails -
0:23:59 > 0:24:00iron oxide and polyurethane.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Iron oxide's used for making paint and polyurethane's
0:24:04 > 0:24:07a type of varnish, you might use it to make something water-resistant.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11That's it! Of course. There're must have been a boat.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Frank wasn't stabbed in the water. The killer had a boat.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17And the paint and the varnish were under Frank's nails,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19so he must've... What was he doing?
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Why was he clambering onto a boat in the middle of the sea?
0:24:22 > 0:24:24And where did this boat come from?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Is it possible the killer had it stashed around the bay?
0:24:26 > 0:24:29But even if they did, that doesn't really explain how
0:24:29 > 0:24:33they got from the house to the boat in time to meet Frank out there.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36- Unless.- Unless?
0:24:36 > 0:24:38They had a scooter.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Oh, that's very good, Florence. Stick a pin in that thought.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43First things first. Dwayne, JP, ring round the marinas,
0:24:43 > 0:24:45speak to the harbour masters.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48See if anyone saw a grey boat coming or going between five
0:24:48 > 0:24:49and seven yesterday morning.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50Aye, aye, Captain.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Any luck with Gilly's fiance?
0:24:52 > 0:24:54He's expecting our video call any time.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59So this was found floating out to sea
0:24:59 > 0:25:02and the harbour master said, as far as he can tell, it's unregistered.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05As you know, all boats on the island have to be registered.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11Hang on a minute.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Got you.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20Er, Dwayne...
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Ah?
0:25:23 > 0:25:24Looks like blood.
0:25:27 > 0:25:32Frank came to do a signing about a year ago. Don't get it myself.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Always seemed like a budget Le Carre to me.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37But Gilly did this online thriller writing course
0:25:37 > 0:25:40and he was like a rock star to her.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Now, they met at the bookshop where you were both working?
0:25:43 > 0:25:44She asked him to sign a book.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45Told him she was a writer.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Next thing I know, he's only invited her to stay with him
0:25:48 > 0:25:51and his wife on some tropical island.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54At first, she was a bit homesick, she used to call me every day.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58But then she changed. She became obsessed with her novel.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Her last book got rejected by 15 publishers
0:26:01 > 0:26:03and she was terrified of it happening again.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05It was all she could talk about.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10Then, two months ago, she just stopped answering her phone.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12E-mails. Texts. Ignored 'em all.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15All right, Dean, well, thanks for your time.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21If she wanted to end it, why didn't she just say so?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Why did she just ghost him?
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Why don't we ask her?
0:26:25 > 0:26:26Paradise Mislaid.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29This the novel you've been working on?
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Well, it's very much a work in progress.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Sadly, Frank never got to read my latest draft.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39I've been working on it day and night these past two weeks.
0:26:39 > 0:26:44These are his notes? Not one to mince his words, was he?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47I came out here to learn. It was always constructive.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52And this is what he signed at your bookshop,
0:26:52 > 0:26:54- the day you met? - How did you know?
0:26:54 > 0:26:56We just spoke with Dean Shanks.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Why? Dean's not a part of my life any more.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03So the engagement's off? Your decision?
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Yeah, it was. We wanted different things.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08I had to focus on me writing.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12Sometimes you've got to be a bit hard-nosed, don't you?
0:27:12 > 0:27:15I know that seems selfish, but I'm never going
0:27:15 > 0:27:16to have this chance again.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20So, tell me, how long ago did Frank end your affair?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22What?
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Well, Frank's criticism isn't cruel,
0:27:25 > 0:27:27but it is intimate. "Clumsy, darling!
0:27:27 > 0:27:29"I know you're better than this."
0:27:29 > 0:27:31And there's a lingering scent of aftershave on your towel.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34And the shower's set to a man's height. Also...
0:27:34 > 0:27:36This should be a prized memento of that first meeting.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40You wouldn't tear it up unless you were in a blind, passionate rage.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44I didn't tear it up. Dean did.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50He couldn't understand why I'd want to come out here.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51He's never been further than Spain.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55And I wouldn't call it an affair.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57It was just a, a silly fling.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01But, but for what it's worth, Frank didn't end it.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06In fact, he'd just booked these.
0:28:07 > 0:28:08A trip to Prague?
0:28:09 > 0:28:11He wanted to show me his favourite city.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15It was a research trip,
0:28:15 > 0:28:16in theory.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Only, please, don't tell Valerie.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20She's been through enough.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26Wife and mistress under the same roof. And he wasn't even French!
0:28:26 > 0:28:29So Valerie had a motive. Assuming that she knew...
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Sorry to disturb you, Mrs O'Toole. May I?
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Frank would never let anyone sit in his chair.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48Or, God forbid, touch his beloved Irene.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52He was superstitious like that.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54He was working on something new?
0:28:54 > 0:28:58Mmm. Novel 41. The Moscow Mule.
0:28:58 > 0:28:59Mmm.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Did he always plan it all out like this?
0:29:04 > 0:29:06He never just made it up as he went along, no?
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Frank would never start until he knew the ending.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12It was one of the few rules that he never broke.
0:29:13 > 0:29:18He always says a good writer plots backwards.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Said.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28I'm sorry, I can't. I'm sorry.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32We can go somewhere more comfortable, if you prefer?
0:29:33 > 0:29:36You and Frank had been together 23 years?
0:29:36 > 0:29:38I was in the TV version of one of his books.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43He was married to someone else at the time.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45The papers were scandalised.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48He was a good husband?
0:29:49 > 0:29:51He loved me. I loved him.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Must be strange, though, being married to a well-known writer.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57All those readers who feel they know him intimately.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Did it never feel like you were sharing him?
0:30:00 > 0:30:02I suppose occasionally it bothered me
0:30:02 > 0:30:07that he was so receptive to his prettier, younger fans.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12But you were happy enough to welcome one into your home?
0:30:12 > 0:30:15I wouldn't say happy. It was pragmatism on my part.
0:30:15 > 0:30:20Frank needed the validation of adoring younger women.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Better it happen under my roof, where I could keep an eye on him.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25So you turned a blind eye?
0:30:25 > 0:30:28No. My eyes were wide open. She's the one with blinkers on.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32Poor, naive little girl. I knew he'd tire of her soon enough.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Did you know he'd booked a trip to Prague for the two of them?
0:30:37 > 0:30:39A research trip.
0:30:39 > 0:30:40It was my idea.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42Your idea?
0:30:42 > 0:30:45I knew a week alone with her would put him off for good.
0:30:47 > 0:30:48How could you be so sure?
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Because she was clingy. And Frank couldn't bare clingy.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53We had to send her off to Montserrat last weekend just
0:30:53 > 0:30:55so that we could breathe.
0:30:55 > 0:30:56Forgive me, Mrs O'Toole, I know you
0:30:56 > 0:30:59and Frank had been struggling financially.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02But the terrible irony is that, with Frank's death...
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Do you think I'd give a damn about book sales? Or money?
0:31:04 > 0:31:07My husband was murdered yesterday and I would give everything
0:31:07 > 0:31:10I have, everything, to bring him back again.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16You have no idea what we had.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Well, if it isn't Inspector Jack Money.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Is this how you conduct your investigations?
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Sitting around sipping tea!
0:31:23 > 0:31:26- There's a killer out there, man! - Sir.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Who knows, deciding which of us to bump off next!
0:31:28 > 0:31:31Stop it, Larry. You're not helping.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Yes, so once we had the number, it didn't take us
0:31:42 > 0:31:44long to find the boat's last registered owner.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45Zeke the Crab Man.
0:31:45 > 0:31:46Zeke the Crab Man?
0:31:46 > 0:31:47Zeke the Crab Man.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Took a while for Zeke to sober up enough to speak but,
0:31:50 > 0:31:52when he did, he told us he sold the boat two weeks ago.
0:31:52 > 0:31:53Did he say to whom?
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Mr Otis Falconer.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58Otis Falconer? Well, there's a name to conjure with.
0:31:58 > 0:31:59Any description of the man.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Zeke said it was all done by e-mail, and the cash posted to him.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03They never met.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Right, well, I think
0:32:05 > 0:32:07we can safely file that under suspicious behaviour.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Oh, I was so certain it had to be one of these three.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13We've got motives, we've got proximity.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17And then, suddenly, enter stage left Mr Otis Falconer,
0:32:17 > 0:32:19a mysterious man with a boat,
0:32:19 > 0:32:23and all the cards are thrown up in the air.
0:32:23 > 0:32:28Right. Let's find this Otis and bring him in for questioning.
0:32:28 > 0:32:29Er, about that, Chief.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32We checked with the Land Registry and Immigration
0:32:32 > 0:32:36and there's absolutely no record of an Otis Falconer on Saint Marie.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38I also called the O'Toole household.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40They'd never even heard of the name.
0:32:40 > 0:32:45So we don't know what Otis looks like, or where Otis lives,
0:32:45 > 0:32:47or what Otis's connection to Frank is.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49All we have is a name and a boat.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51And, possibly, a scooter.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Ah, yes! The scooter! Right.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58What if it was Otis who was sitting outside the house watching and
0:32:58 > 0:33:00waiting for the moment Frank emerged
0:33:00 > 0:33:01so as he could zip round to his boat?
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Dwayne, JP, I need you to visit every scooter shop on the island.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Find out if anyone's rented or sold a scooter to
0:33:07 > 0:33:09a Mr Otis Falconer in the last few days.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13You mean right now, Chief?
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Well, yes. Given this is a murder investigation, I think
0:33:15 > 0:33:17there's some small degree of urgency.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21Right. Don't tell me.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23- Erzulie.- Erzulie.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27OK. OK.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Wow, Dwayne! That smells good!
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Can I just have a little...?
0:33:34 > 0:33:36- Hey...- A tiny bit!
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Mmm. What's that you added? Allspice?
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Gives it quite a kick. I might just...
0:33:44 > 0:33:47- OK. - If you wouldn't mind... Oh.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52My mother used to put allspice in her Christmas cake but, then,
0:33:52 > 0:33:56one year, she forgot her glasses and she added black pepper by mistake.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59We were still sneezing halfway through March!
0:33:59 > 0:34:00Chief, please! I, I'm sorry.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03Look, look, I don't want to be disrespectful or anything, but
0:34:03 > 0:34:07Darlene's going to be here at any second, so do you think maybe,
0:34:07 > 0:34:09just for one minute, you could possibly
0:34:09 > 0:34:11give me just a tiny little bit of space?
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Well, of course, Dwayne. Why didn't you just say so before?
0:34:15 > 0:34:16I'll get out of your hair.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19- That's it, thank you, Chief. - KNOCK ON DOOR
0:34:19 > 0:34:20Right, that'll be her.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22Right, just pretend I'm not here.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24- I'll be out the back doing battle with this.- Well, go na!
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Yeah. Knock her dead, Dwayne.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28I mean, not literally, obviously, that would be disastrous.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30- Chief, go!- OK!
0:34:32 > 0:34:33Happy Erzulie!
0:34:50 > 0:34:54I got to tell you, Dwayne, that is one of the best thing I ever eaten.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57You must give me the recipe.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01My secret recipe? You'll have to torture it out of me.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Now that sound like a challenge.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06You better believe it!
0:35:06 > 0:35:07So what do you call it?
0:35:11 > 0:35:13I call it "sure thing" chicken.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17Do you now? And why you call it that?
0:35:19 > 0:35:20Erm, well...
0:35:20 > 0:35:24..I suppose people always asking me for my recipe and I say,
0:35:24 > 0:35:25"Sure thing," you know?
0:35:25 > 0:35:27But you just said it was a secret.
0:35:29 > 0:35:30Did I?
0:35:32 > 0:35:35So it's not because you're under the illusion that all this chilli
0:35:35 > 0:35:38and spice might put a woman in a certain mood?
0:35:39 > 0:35:41TOILET FLUSHES
0:35:42 > 0:35:43Who's that?
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Ah, erm, oh, that's, erm...
0:35:49 > 0:35:52Sorry. Ignore me. I'm not here.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Is that an Irish accent I hear?
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Er, no.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00It is! A real Irishman!
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Like Liam Neeson.
0:36:02 > 0:36:03Well, no, not really like him.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05I mean, he's from Ballymena, which is...
0:36:05 > 0:36:07You've not been back there all this time?
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Erm...
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Look, you must try some of this chicken.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13No, no, no, no, no, no!
0:36:13 > 0:36:16I insist. Pull up a chair, honey.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Dwayne, get the man a plate.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Really, it's, it's not...
0:36:20 > 0:36:23Do not say no to Darlene. Come!
0:36:26 > 0:36:32You are going to love this. It's a "sure thing", right, Dwayne?
0:36:33 > 0:36:34Right...
0:36:34 > 0:36:39Now, what I need to know is, what is a good-looking Irishman
0:36:39 > 0:36:41like yourself doing alone at Erzulie?
0:36:45 > 0:36:46Anyone for cheesecake?
0:36:58 > 0:36:59Who knew there could be
0:36:59 > 0:37:02so many scooter shops on one little island, eh?
0:37:02 > 0:37:04This'll be number six!
0:37:04 > 0:37:06Oh, erm, by the way, how did it go last night
0:37:06 > 0:37:07with your "sure thing" chicken?
0:37:07 > 0:37:10Listen, I don't want to talk about it, OK! Eh, Eddie...
0:37:10 > 0:37:13- Hmmm?- You rent a scooter to an Otis Falconer lately?
0:37:15 > 0:37:18You're sure now, Eddie? Cos this is vitally important.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22We think this Otis might hold the key to the Frank O'Toole murder.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Ah.
0:37:25 > 0:37:26Chief! We've got a description!
0:37:26 > 0:37:29Otis! We went to every scooter shop on the island.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31And no-one know the name Otis Falconer. Until...
0:37:31 > 0:37:34..we got to the last one, Eddie's Scooters.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37Now, Eddie is very, very laid-back.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Never writes anything down, never bothers taking names,
0:37:39 > 0:37:44but he said, and I quote, "This dude in his 30s or 40s,
0:37:44 > 0:37:47"maybe British, maybe Australian, rented a red scooter, wore
0:37:47 > 0:37:52"a yellow T-shirt, was medium built and paid a cash deposit."
0:37:52 > 0:37:56And get this - he asked Eddie where Frank O'Toole lived.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58- It has to be him.- Yeah.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01Not the most detailed description I've ever heard, but it's got to be.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03So, who is Otis Falconer?
0:38:03 > 0:38:06And what motive could he have to murder Frank?
0:38:07 > 0:38:10A deranged fan, or did Frank owe him money?
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Some sort of military connection?
0:38:12 > 0:38:14But we know he has no footprint on Saint Marie.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16So how're we going to find him?
0:38:17 > 0:38:19We know he has a boat.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21So what's to say he's based on this island?
0:38:21 > 0:38:24Dwayne, JP, run a search on all the neighbouring islands.
0:38:24 > 0:38:25Meanwhile, we'll see
0:38:25 > 0:38:28if we can find any more witnesses back here besides Scooter Eddie.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32Where's the first place you'd expect to find a Brit with a moped?
0:38:34 > 0:38:36I'm afraid I'm not open yet.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Alas, Catherine, we're not here for a drink.
0:38:38 > 0:38:39We're here on police business.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43Oh? Is it something to do with the Frank O'Toole murder?
0:38:43 > 0:38:47Yes, proving to be a puzzle, like something out of one of his novels.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50We're searching for a man called Otis Falconer.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Sorry, I don't know that name.
0:38:52 > 0:38:53No-one does.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57All we know is he's a man in his 30s or 40s, medium build,
0:38:57 > 0:38:58a yellow T-shirt and a red scooter.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01I think I might know the man you mean.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03- You do?- Yes.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06He was in here a couple of days ago, asking
0:39:06 > 0:39:08if I could recommend a cheap place to stay.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10I sent him to Queenie's Guest House.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Mayor Bordey, I think I love you.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25OK, you go on up. I'll keep watch out here.
0:39:35 > 0:39:36He's in there.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Otis Falconer! Police! Open up, please.
0:39:47 > 0:39:48There he is.
0:39:52 > 0:39:53He's getting away!
0:39:53 > 0:39:54I don't think so.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00ENGINE SPLUTTERS
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Of course, a potato is best, but you work with what you have.
0:40:11 > 0:40:16Otis Falconer, I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of...
0:40:18 > 0:40:19Dean Shanks?
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Would you rather we called you Dean or Otis?
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Who's Otis?
0:40:26 > 0:40:29Otis Falconer is the identity you assumed
0:40:29 > 0:40:32when you landed in Saint Marie two days ago.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34I'm sorry. I don't...
0:40:34 > 0:40:37The thing is, Dean, we're not that inclined to trust you.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Given that you lied in a police interview,
0:40:39 > 0:40:41pretending that you were in Stoke, when in reality...
0:40:41 > 0:40:44I didn't. I mean, you, you never asked.
0:40:44 > 0:40:45You just assumed.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48You also scarpered when we tried to question you just now,
0:40:48 > 0:40:52and I suspect your tyre treads are an exact match for the tracks
0:40:52 > 0:40:54we found outside Frank's house.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56I know! I know! It, it looks terrible.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Yeah, not great, to be fair.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00This is your chance to explain yourself.
0:41:04 > 0:41:09Well, Gilly and me, it's... I love her, you know?
0:41:09 > 0:41:11I mean, we're supposed to be getting married.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13I couldn't just give her up without a fight!
0:41:13 > 0:41:16So you flew to Saint Marie. You hired a scooter.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20You asked around till you found out where Frank lived. And then?
0:41:20 > 0:41:22I thought I'd go round there first thing in the morning,
0:41:22 > 0:41:24before everyone else was awake.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28Find Gilly, say my piece. Then, when I get there...
0:41:30 > 0:41:31I don't know, I just lost my nerve.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37I thought, "What if I've come all this way and she just tells me
0:41:37 > 0:41:38"to get lost?"
0:41:39 > 0:41:43So...I bolted. Like a coward.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45I'll ask you one last time.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Are you, or are you not, Otis Falconer?
0:41:48 > 0:41:50I've never heard of him. I swear.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58We had him. I honestly thought we had Otis Falconer in custody.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02But now he's back to being nothing more than a big, fat question mark.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Sir!
0:42:04 > 0:42:07I just heard back from Linton Williams,
0:42:07 > 0:42:10a rental manager from St Michel, one of the neighbouring islands.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14Four months ago, he rented a house to an Otis Falconer.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17And guess what? He's never met him. Never spoken to him.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20It was all done via e-mail.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24And apparently this Otis wanted the most secluded house he had to offer.
0:42:24 > 0:42:25How far is St Michel from here?
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Not far at all. About 5km.
0:42:31 > 0:42:32Right, this must be the place.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37It's the only one here, sir.
0:42:37 > 0:42:38Sshhh.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Otis Falconer?
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Don't we need a search permit, sir?
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Probably. Don't tell anyone.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14I'll say this for Otis. He doesn't go in for clutter.
0:43:16 > 0:43:17Otis's laptop.
0:43:17 > 0:43:21If there's nothing on it, let's bag it and check it for prints.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23Frank was killed on the boat.
0:43:23 > 0:43:27The boat was bought by Otis. Otis rented this house.
0:43:28 > 0:43:29What else do we have?
0:43:29 > 0:43:31Well, we've got zero motive.
0:43:31 > 0:43:35Zero idea who Otis is, no-one's ever seen him or spoken to him.
0:43:35 > 0:43:39You're right, Dwayne. Our number one suspect is an invisible man.
0:43:40 > 0:43:43He's only communicated with two people on this laptop -
0:43:43 > 0:43:47Zeke the Crab Man, and the letting agent for this house.
0:43:47 > 0:43:48And there is no internet here,
0:43:48 > 0:43:50so he must've sent the e-mails from somewhere else.
0:43:50 > 0:43:53Wow! It's like we're looking for a ghost.
0:43:54 > 0:43:58Or a voodoo goddess. Except there's more proof flipping Erzulie exists.
0:44:01 > 0:44:05Maybe that's it. What if Otis doesn't exist?
0:44:05 > 0:44:08Yeah! What if he was one of our suspects all along?
0:44:24 > 0:44:26And now we come to your luxury.
0:44:30 > 0:44:32"Jack Money?"
0:44:32 > 0:44:34Frank would never start until he knew the ending.
0:44:34 > 0:44:37They found some tiny fibres under Frank's fingernails.
0:44:37 > 0:44:38He left me this.
0:44:38 > 0:44:42As I told you, the golden goose had stopped laying eggs.
0:44:42 > 0:44:44I would give everything to bring him back again.
0:44:44 > 0:44:47I've been working on it day and night these past two weeks.
0:44:47 > 0:44:49There's a good case-and-a-half of champagne,
0:44:49 > 0:44:52but Frank didn't think there'd be enough for the four of you.
0:44:52 > 0:44:53Of course.
0:44:53 > 0:44:55You beauty! We have to get back to Saint Marie.
0:44:55 > 0:44:57Dwayne, when we do, I need you to check something with Immigration.
0:44:57 > 0:45:00- Will do, Chief. - What's in a name?
0:45:00 > 0:45:03I tell you I'm Jack Mooney, you take me at my word.
0:45:03 > 0:45:06But what's the difference between Jack Mooney and Jack Money?
0:45:06 > 0:45:08The letter O?
0:45:08 > 0:45:12The letter O is exactly right, JP. That is it. Yes!
0:45:13 > 0:45:15It all comes down to the missing letter O.
0:45:15 > 0:45:18I know who Otis Falconer is. I know who killed Frank O'Toole.
0:45:18 > 0:45:19And I know how.
0:45:23 > 0:45:26Gilly?
0:45:26 > 0:45:28Dean? What, what are you doing here?
0:45:29 > 0:45:32I flew out here cos I couldn't let you give up on us.
0:45:32 > 0:45:35We're meant to be together, you know we are.
0:45:36 > 0:45:39You shouldn't have come. I'm sorry, Dean.
0:45:52 > 0:45:57The wife. The mistress. The agent. The jilted boyfriend.
0:45:57 > 0:46:01And then there's our fifth suspect, who you'll notice isn't here yet.
0:46:01 > 0:46:05Mr Otis Falconer. Which one of these five is our killer?
0:46:07 > 0:46:09Right, yes.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12With My Little Eye by Frank O'Toole.
0:46:12 > 0:46:15Full disclosure, I wasn't too sold on Jim Harvey to begin with but,
0:46:15 > 0:46:17by the end, when Jim cracks the Russian code,
0:46:17 > 0:46:20I have to admit the plotting is ingenious.
0:46:20 > 0:46:23Yeah! A real feat of reverse engineering.
0:46:23 > 0:46:26Which put me in mind of something that Valerie said -
0:46:26 > 0:46:30Frank could never start writing a novel until he knew the ending.
0:46:30 > 0:46:32- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:46:33 > 0:46:39For Frank, a good plot was a puzzle, a, a code to crack in itself.
0:46:39 > 0:46:41It was the letter O that solved it for me.
0:46:43 > 0:46:46Now, we all know the O in O'Toole was a late addition.
0:46:46 > 0:46:50But our man of letters, he couldn't resist one last literary flourish.
0:47:03 > 0:47:06The last plot he constructed...
0:47:06 > 0:47:08..the last character he created was a pseudonym,
0:47:08 > 0:47:10but it was also an anagram of his name.
0:47:12 > 0:47:13Otis Falconer.
0:47:15 > 0:47:17But why did he feel the need to create Otis?
0:47:18 > 0:47:21Well, the fact is Frank and Valerie had run out of money.
0:47:21 > 0:47:25And Frank decided that the only answer was to fake his own death.
0:47:28 > 0:47:29Step one...
0:47:29 > 0:47:31..he'd buy a boat.
0:47:31 > 0:47:34Step two, he'd rent a hidey-hole on a neighbouring island,
0:47:34 > 0:47:36filling it with just the bare essentials.
0:47:36 > 0:47:40Clothes, groceries. Of course - English breakfast tea,
0:47:40 > 0:47:42his Desert Island luxury item.
0:47:42 > 0:47:45Step three, on the afternoon of the party...
0:47:45 > 0:47:47Champagne stocks are perilously low.
0:47:47 > 0:47:49I'll nip into town and replenish them.
0:47:49 > 0:47:52..when he was supposedly buying champagne,
0:47:52 > 0:47:53he'd pre-set the boat into position.
0:47:55 > 0:47:56Step four...
0:47:56 > 0:47:58..the following morning,
0:47:58 > 0:48:01a few minutes before five, he'd leave a note for his wife, before
0:48:01 > 0:48:02heading down to the beach.
0:48:03 > 0:48:05He'd wave at a fishing boat just setting out,
0:48:05 > 0:48:08as it did every morning, to make sure that he had witnesses.
0:48:08 > 0:48:12And then he'd stride out into the ocean, never to be seen again.
0:48:13 > 0:48:16Missing, presumed drowned.
0:48:16 > 0:48:18Being sure to leave behind a pile of unfinished business -
0:48:18 > 0:48:21a contract with a new agent that he'd never sign,
0:48:21 > 0:48:23a trip to Prague that he'd never make,
0:48:23 > 0:48:27and a novel he'd never finish - so as nobody would suspect the truth.
0:48:27 > 0:48:29At least that was the plan. Wasn't it, Valerie?
0:48:31 > 0:48:33You knew, as a former actress, that you could play
0:48:33 > 0:48:35the part of the grieving widow convincingly
0:48:35 > 0:48:41until it was safe to join Frank...on St Michel,
0:48:41 > 0:48:44where you'd spend the rest of your lives
0:48:44 > 0:48:47living off Frank's newly-reinvigorated book sales.
0:48:49 > 0:48:52Frank had planned his death down to the very last detail.
0:48:52 > 0:48:57All except for one tiny, tiny thing - the dying part.
0:48:57 > 0:48:59It was never meant to end like this.
0:49:02 > 0:49:03He wasn't supposed to die.
0:49:05 > 0:49:08No. Certainly you didn't mean for him to die.
0:49:08 > 0:49:09But you did...
0:49:12 > 0:49:13..didn't you, Gilly?
0:49:16 > 0:49:19Frank had already done all the planning for you.
0:49:20 > 0:49:24All you had to do was swim out ahead of him and lie in wait.
0:49:31 > 0:49:36This is ridiculous. Why would I want to kill Frank?
0:49:36 > 0:49:40Well, because you were head over heels in love with him.
0:49:40 > 0:49:42Up till now, you'd barely left Stoke.
0:49:42 > 0:49:45But here you were in paradise with the man you idolised
0:49:45 > 0:49:47reading your words and sharing your bed.
0:49:47 > 0:49:50Dean told us how obsessive you can be.
0:49:50 > 0:49:52He thought it was your novel you were obsessed by.
0:49:52 > 0:49:54But really it was Frank.
0:49:54 > 0:49:56And you believed that Frank felt the same way.
0:49:58 > 0:50:00I mean, what were the tickets to Prague,
0:50:00 > 0:50:02if not a declaration of love?
0:50:03 > 0:50:06You had no idea that they were just another of Frank's red herrings.
0:50:06 > 0:50:11Until last weekend, believing they had safely despatched you to Montserrat...
0:50:11 > 0:50:14We had to send her off to Montserrat last weekend just
0:50:14 > 0:50:15so that we could breathe.
0:50:15 > 0:50:18..Frank and Valerie were finally able to talk about their plan
0:50:18 > 0:50:20out in the open.
0:50:20 > 0:50:22The hardest part will be swimming out to the boat.
0:50:24 > 0:50:28The hardest part will be living without you for six months.
0:50:29 > 0:50:32Little did they know that you hadn't gone to Montserrat.
0:50:32 > 0:50:35We checked with Immigration and you never left the island.
0:50:35 > 0:50:39Instead, you decided to stay behind and work on your novel.
0:50:39 > 0:50:42I've been working on it day and night these past two weeks.
0:50:42 > 0:50:45Which is when we assume that you overhead
0:50:45 > 0:50:48the conversation and you became suspicious.
0:50:48 > 0:50:51You must've started snooping around, which is
0:50:51 > 0:50:53when you discovered Frank's laptop,
0:50:53 > 0:50:56and that would've revealed the existence of two things.
0:50:56 > 0:51:01A boat and a hideaway on a nearby island.
0:51:01 > 0:51:04For someone with such a deep-rooted fear of rejection,
0:51:04 > 0:51:06this must have been unbearable.
0:51:06 > 0:51:08Her last book got rejected by 15 publishers
0:51:08 > 0:51:11and she was terrified of it happening again.
0:51:11 > 0:51:14It wasn't Dean who tore this up, was it? It was you.
0:51:21 > 0:51:25You were prepared to give up everything for Frank.
0:51:25 > 0:51:29And then you realised that the only woman that he was truly in love
0:51:29 > 0:51:33with, the woman he was planning a future with, was his wife.
0:51:34 > 0:51:36So, on the afternoon of the party...
0:51:36 > 0:51:40Champagne stocks look perilously low, I'll nip into town
0:51:40 > 0:51:41and replenish.
0:51:41 > 0:51:44..you knew going to buy champagne was just a ruse.
0:51:44 > 0:51:46You do most of the catering in here.
0:51:46 > 0:51:49You knew exactly how much champagne was in that cupboard.
0:51:49 > 0:51:50So you followed Frank.
0:51:54 > 0:51:56And you discovered exactly where the boat would be.
0:52:03 > 0:52:05And then, after that, all you had to do was feign drunkenness to
0:52:05 > 0:52:09put everyone off the scent, swim out to the boat and lie in wait.
0:52:10 > 0:52:14This is ridiculous! You've got no proof.
0:52:16 > 0:52:21Well, except for a small grey boat, the paint on which exactly
0:52:21 > 0:52:26matches the paint fibres that we found under Frank's fingernails.
0:52:26 > 0:52:28And I've no doubt that our lab will confirm
0:52:28 > 0:52:30that you left your DNA all over it...
0:52:32 > 0:52:34..when you brutally stabbed Frank O'Toole to death.
0:52:45 > 0:52:49Before setting the boat adrift, hoping that it would never be found.
0:52:49 > 0:52:52Hoping that you might, indeed, get away with murder.
0:53:01 > 0:53:04After everything he did for you?
0:53:04 > 0:53:08Did for me? He destroyed my life.
0:53:09 > 0:53:10Oh, I was happy when I met him.
0:53:10 > 0:53:13But then he had to let me believe that I was special.
0:53:13 > 0:53:17That I had talent. That he loved me.
0:53:17 > 0:53:19And all the while you knew.
0:53:20 > 0:53:24Frank felt nothing for you. How could he?
0:53:26 > 0:53:27You're a monster.
0:53:43 > 0:53:46DI Money? Mooney! Mooney! Sorry! Sorry!
0:53:46 > 0:53:48I just wanted to apologise for doubting you.
0:53:48 > 0:53:51I see now that there's a certain method in your madness.
0:53:51 > 0:53:54Oh, thank you. What are you going to do now, Larry?
0:53:54 > 0:53:56On the hunt for another golden goose?
0:53:56 > 0:53:57Oh, no, no, no, no, as you pointed out,
0:53:57 > 0:54:02the irony is that now the old sod's going to keep me busier than ever.
0:54:02 > 0:54:06But it seems to me that you have a certain gift for spinning a yarn.
0:54:06 > 0:54:08If you ever decide to turn to writing...
0:54:10 > 0:54:11..give me a call.
0:54:13 > 0:54:15Well, I'll bear it in mind.
0:54:15 > 0:54:17I mean it now! Bye!
0:54:26 > 0:54:29Why is she still up? Thought I'd seen the last of her.
0:54:31 > 0:54:34Even when you can't see Erzulie, she's always there -
0:54:34 > 0:54:38tricking people into falling in love, so she can break their hearts.
0:54:38 > 0:54:41You're not really that cynical, are you?
0:54:41 > 0:54:47What have we just seen? One man dead, two lives ruined - by what?
0:54:47 > 0:54:50Well, it wasn't love that killed him. It was envy.
0:54:50 > 0:54:52Precisely because, in its own way, Frank
0:54:52 > 0:54:54and Valerie's love was the real deal.
0:54:54 > 0:54:56The kind of love that nothing can break, not infidelity,
0:54:56 > 0:54:58not time, not even death.
0:54:59 > 0:55:01Does that really exist?
0:55:01 > 0:55:02Oh, it does. Trust me.
0:55:02 > 0:55:04Talking of which...
0:55:19 > 0:55:22It was such a lovely surprise to receive your voicemail.
0:55:22 > 0:55:24Whenever I feel blue,
0:55:24 > 0:55:27I'm just going to listen to your lovely Irish voice
0:55:27 > 0:55:29cooing in my ear.
0:55:30 > 0:55:31Ah, that's great!
0:55:31 > 0:55:34Well, the reason I asked you here, Darlene,
0:55:34 > 0:55:37is because, well, last night I feel I interrupted something.
0:55:37 > 0:55:40Now, it seemed to me that you were striking sparks off each other.
0:55:40 > 0:55:42And that's rare.
0:55:42 > 0:55:43You don't seem too convinced.
0:55:43 > 0:55:47But, frankly, you should be, because Dwayne, he's got a good heart, and,
0:55:47 > 0:55:51and, and a great sense of humour, and a magic way with chicken!
0:55:51 > 0:55:54So you can't judge a man on half a date, now, can you?
0:55:54 > 0:55:57You've got to give him a fair crack at the whip.
0:56:00 > 0:56:02So, I know it's not Erzulie any more,
0:56:02 > 0:56:06but maybe you could ask him to dance. What do you say?
0:56:08 > 0:56:12You're a good man, Jack Mooney. Come here.
0:56:24 > 0:56:26Come, Dwayne! Come.
0:56:29 > 0:56:31What about you, Jack?
0:56:31 > 0:56:32What about me?
0:56:32 > 0:56:33Not dancing?
0:56:33 > 0:56:37No, no, no, no. Not ready for that just yet.
0:56:37 > 0:56:39But I'm happy to watch, you know? For now.
0:56:48 > 0:56:49MUSIC DROWNS SPEECH
0:57:03 > 0:57:05Amen!
0:57:05 > 0:57:06Do you feel his power?
0:57:07 > 0:57:08Looks like burn marks on her lips.
0:57:08 > 0:57:10You mean the kind you get when you...?
0:57:10 > 0:57:12When you've ingested poison.
0:57:12 > 0:57:14We will be introducing policing methods that are new to us.
0:57:14 > 0:57:17Would I be right in thinking that's something to do with it?
0:57:17 > 0:57:20Is he really arrogant enough to commit murder?
0:57:20 > 0:57:22I'm playing a particularly sophisticated game here.
0:57:22 > 0:57:24- And that actually works? - Hasn't failed me yet.
0:57:24 > 0:57:26Night, Dwayne.
0:57:26 > 0:57:27Who the hell is Gerald?
