0:00:22 > 0:00:23It's time.

0:00:35 > 0:00:37It was a day like this...

0:00:37 > 0:00:40when the wonders of God's creation were on display

0:00:40 > 0:00:41for all to see.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46A day just like this when Jesus healed!

0:00:46 > 0:00:48- ALL: Hallelujah! - Made the blind see!

0:00:48 > 0:00:51- Hallelujah! - Made the deaf hear his word!

0:00:51 > 0:00:54- Hallelujah! - The word of the Lord!

0:00:54 > 0:00:55Praise the lord.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58Now, tell me, you all ready to hear the word?

0:00:58 > 0:01:00- Amen! - ALL: Amen!

0:01:01 > 0:01:02Amen.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07# Joyful, joyful, we adore thee... #

0:01:10 > 0:01:12You hear that, Dashel? You hear that!?

0:01:12 > 0:01:14It's like they know that you're coming.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16I'm on my way, Lord!

0:01:16 > 0:01:19I am on my way!

0:01:22 > 0:01:24Welcome, brother Marius.

0:01:24 > 0:01:26Brother Marius...

0:01:26 > 0:01:29are you here to receive the Lord into your heart and soul?

0:01:29 > 0:01:30Amen!

0:01:35 > 0:01:38Lord, may you take brother Marius into your heart

0:01:38 > 0:01:40and cure him of this illness.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42Look upon him with the eyes of your mercy...

0:01:55 > 0:01:57Do you feel his power, Marius?

0:02:00 > 0:02:03Do you feel his power?!

0:02:03 > 0:02:04Hallelujah!

0:02:10 > 0:02:14If there's anyone else out here seeking a better life,

0:02:14 > 0:02:17come on forward and be healed.

0:02:17 > 0:02:18Come on, brother!

0:02:20 > 0:02:22- What's your name, son? - William.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34- You made it. - Bless you, Amelia.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Come. You've waited long enough.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43You remember Fabienne ?

0:02:43 > 0:02:44My dear old friend.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49Your side has been failing you, but you never once lost your faith,

0:02:49 > 0:02:51and he will reward you.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54For it is written, "He made the blind see."

0:02:54 > 0:02:57- Made the blind see! - ALL: Amen!

0:03:18 > 0:03:19Do you feel his power?

0:03:21 > 0:03:23Do you feel his power?!

0:03:24 > 0:03:26GASPS

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Aunt Fabienne!

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Someone call an ambulance! Call an ambulance!

0:04:06 > 0:04:09- We may be a small island police force...- But perfectly formed, sir.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14But we should always strive to improve performance.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17So we will be introducing policing methods

0:04:17 > 0:04:21that are new to us, in order to enhance our results.

0:04:21 > 0:04:25Would I be right in thinking that's got something to do with it?

0:04:25 > 0:04:26That is Pico.

0:04:26 > 0:04:30A star graduate from the Saint Helene Police Force Dog Unit.

0:04:31 > 0:04:35We have him for one week. Should he prove himself useful to us,

0:04:35 > 0:04:37we will be applying for a dog of our own.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41Any questions?

0:04:41 > 0:04:43Tiny one, sir.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45Does it matter at all, that none of us

0:04:45 > 0:04:47have any training whatsoever in dog handling?

0:04:47 > 0:04:49On the contrary, Inspector.

0:04:49 > 0:04:54Having checked the files, I believe Officer Hooper here has experience.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57Well, I done half a module at police college.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59Perfect.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01Then I will bid you all a good day.

0:05:02 > 0:05:03PHONE RINGS

0:05:03 > 0:05:05I'll get that.

0:05:05 > 0:05:06Lively fella, isn't he?

0:05:08 > 0:05:10- Not a dog lover, Dwayne? - No.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13Sir, I think Pico could make a real contribution to the team.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16Sniffing for evidence, chasing suspects.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Doing his business all over our crime scenes.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Sir, there's been a death over at Sandy Bay.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Well, it looks like Pico's going to get his first taste of the action.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30According to paramedics, the victim is a woman called Fabienne Jordan.

0:05:30 > 0:05:3256 years of age.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35She came with her nephew to visit the faith healer.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37This fella here, I take it? Steadman King.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39Reverend King was in the middle of healing her

0:05:39 > 0:05:42when she started convulsing. She died before the ambulance arrived.

0:05:42 > 0:05:46- Cause of death?- Paramedics think she suffered some sort of seizure.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52OK, Dwayne. Hit me, what have we got?

0:05:52 > 0:05:54So, the nephew said that Fabienne came here to have her

0:05:54 > 0:05:56eyesight restored.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59She'd come up onto the stage and taken a sip of the holy water.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02The Pastor placed his hands on her, and then boom, down she went.

0:06:04 > 0:06:08- This hers?- Yes, Chief, but there's nothing much of interest inside it.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10Her purse, house keys,

0:06:10 > 0:06:12some tissues.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15Old sweet wrappers, you know that kind of thing.

0:06:15 > 0:06:16Poor woman.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19She came here expecting a new lease of life, she ends up dead.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Hmm.

0:06:34 > 0:06:35What is it, sir?

0:06:36 > 0:06:38Looks like burn marks on her lips.

0:06:38 > 0:06:39And inside her mouth too.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41You mean the kind you get when you...

0:06:41 > 0:06:44When you've ingested poison? Yeah, exactly like that.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47And the convulsions started just after she drank from this?

0:06:47 > 0:06:48Yes, Chief.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58Well, there's nothing there.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01But there's something in this cup.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04Sharp. It's not pleasant.

0:07:05 > 0:07:06Someone wanted her dead?

0:07:08 > 0:07:10I'm afraid it's looking that way, Florence.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Murdered?! - That can't be right?

0:07:19 > 0:07:21There's strong evidence to suggest that Fabienne was poisoned.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25- No.- Explain to me what led you to this conclusion, Inspector?

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Well, we'd need to have it confirmed by our lab.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31But an initial examination of the crime scene would indicate that the

0:07:31 > 0:07:34poison may have been in the water that you gave her to drink, Pastor.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37- It can't be! - And you're sure about this?

0:07:37 > 0:07:40It's still early days, but that's what we believe.

0:07:40 > 0:07:44If it was in the water, three others drank from the cup before Fabienne.

0:07:44 > 0:07:48I suggest you get them checked by the paramedics.

0:07:48 > 0:07:49I'm on it, sir.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52That's quick thinking, Pastor. Thank you.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Can you talk me through what happened?

0:07:54 > 0:07:57Dashel, it was you who brought your auntie here?

0:07:57 > 0:07:58Yes.

0:07:58 > 0:08:02Aunt Fabienne was diagnosed with a benign brain tumour five years ago.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04It caused her eyesight to deteriorate.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07When she heard that the Pastor was back on the island,

0:08:07 > 0:08:10- she jumped at the chance to visit him.- You've been away?

0:08:10 > 0:08:13It's 35 years now since I left for the US.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15And you've been doing the faith healing malarkey

0:08:15 > 0:08:17- over there ever since? - It's a big country.

0:08:17 > 0:08:18Takes a lot of healing.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20And I'd prefer it if you didn't refer to my life's work

0:08:20 > 0:08:23- as "malarkey," Inspector. - A turn of phrase, Pastor.

0:08:23 > 0:08:24Nothing more.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27Can I ask, why have you returned now?

0:08:29 > 0:08:32The Lord told me it was time to come and give something back.

0:08:32 > 0:08:33Well, that's reason enough, isn't it?

0:08:33 > 0:08:36Fabienne was so happy she was going to get to see you again.

0:08:38 > 0:08:39You already knew each other?

0:08:39 > 0:08:42We grew up in the same village, same school.

0:08:42 > 0:08:43We were childhood friends.

0:08:43 > 0:08:47And today was the first time you'd seen her in over 35 years?

0:08:47 > 0:08:51Actually, Dashel brought Fabienne to see us the day before yesterday.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56I didn't recognise her at first, but when she said her name...

0:08:58 > 0:09:00..well, the memories came flooding back.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02Right.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05And when she came here today, who did she interact with,

0:09:05 > 0:09:07or talk to? Who else knew her?

0:09:07 > 0:09:10No-one. We'd only just arrived.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13I took Fabienne straight up on stage to see Steadman.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16- You remember Fabienne? - My dear old friend.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19And did you see anyone go near the cup during the service?

0:09:19 > 0:09:21No-one touched it but Steadman.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24- We would have seen. You must be wrong about the poison.- Mm-hm.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29Is something wrong, Inspector?

0:09:29 > 0:09:32No, no, no, no, it's just, well, it's just a bit odd.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35Isn't it? I mean, the Pastor here hasn't been back to the island

0:09:35 > 0:09:37in decades.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39Yet, the very week he puts in an appearance,

0:09:39 > 0:09:42his long lost childhood friend ends up being murdered.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44I do hope you're not suggesting I did it?

0:09:44 > 0:09:45No, of course not!

0:09:45 > 0:09:50But you can't deny, the timing, it's a little coincidental.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54I am a faith healer, Inspector.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56Do you understand what that means?

0:09:56 > 0:09:59God has blessed me with the gift to cure people's illnesses.

0:10:00 > 0:10:01I give them their lives back.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05I do not, on any account, take them away.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07My apologies, Pastor.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10But I have to ask the difficult questions.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13Well, I'll leave you all be.

0:10:15 > 0:10:16I'm so sorry for your loss.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25Dwayne, JP, we can release the body.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28And could you get the contents of that jug and cup to the lab?

0:10:28 > 0:10:29Yes, Chief.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32Oh, and could you search everyone who was at the healing ceremony

0:10:32 > 0:10:34for any signs of the poison? A vial or a bottle maybe.

0:10:34 > 0:10:35Yes, sir.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44Time to give something back, eh?

0:10:44 > 0:10:46Sir, paramedics have checked the three people who drank from

0:10:46 > 0:10:50that cup before Fabienne and none of them have ingested any poison.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52Which means it must've been added directly before Fabienne

0:10:52 > 0:10:53sipped from it.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56But wasn't the Pastor the only one in that time to touch the cup?

0:10:56 > 0:10:58Well, that's what they're saying.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00Then that means he's the only one that could've done it?

0:11:00 > 0:11:02But how could it be him?

0:11:02 > 0:11:05Surely no-one kills like that, in front of all these people.

0:11:06 > 0:11:07It's brazen beyond belief.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09But if it wasn't,

0:11:09 > 0:11:11how else did someone get the poison into the cup,

0:11:11 > 0:11:14- if they never went near it? - I don't know, Florence.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17However you look at this, it doesn't much make sense, does it?

0:11:25 > 0:11:27So how'd you get on searching your witnesses?

0:11:27 > 0:11:30- Nothing. You?- Same.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33- Come on, let's make our way back to the station.- Sure. It's just...

0:11:33 > 0:11:35Oh, for goodness' sake.

0:11:37 > 0:11:38Hey, dog.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42As your superior officer, I command you to get up.

0:11:42 > 0:11:43Stand up!

0:11:44 > 0:11:45Part-timer.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48So what do we do?

0:11:48 > 0:11:49We?

0:11:49 > 0:11:53You're the one with the dog training certificate! He's all yours.

0:11:54 > 0:11:55HE SIGHS

0:11:55 > 0:11:57OK. Let's do this.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10OK, gents, and lady, of course.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12Let's go through what we have so far.

0:12:12 > 0:12:14Fabienne Jordan, 56.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16Graduated teacher training when she was 22.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19Taught at Jean Roix Primary School ever since.

0:12:19 > 0:12:23Took sick leave three years ago when her eyesight started to deteriorate.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26Now Fabienne, we suspect, was poisoned

0:12:26 > 0:12:32when she took a sip from a cup of water this man gave to her.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35According to all our witnesses, no-one else went near the cup.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38So, in theory, Steadman is the only one who could've added the poison.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41But do we really believe someone would commit murder so publicly?

0:12:41 > 0:12:44Dwayne, what do we have so far on the Very Reverend Steadman King?

0:12:44 > 0:12:47He doesn't seem to be affiliated to any particular church.

0:12:47 > 0:12:49He's worked as a faith healer touring his shows all over

0:12:49 > 0:12:51the US for the past 35 years.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54Now, Steadman claims that there was no contact between him

0:12:54 > 0:12:56and Fabienne since he left the island.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58But we need to confirm that for ourselves.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00So let's check with local and US immigration,

0:13:00 > 0:13:02see if they could have crossed paths.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05And we should get in touch with e-mail and phone service providers.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07See if there was any communication that way.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10Now, only two people in that marquee knew Fabienne

0:13:10 > 0:13:13and had contact with her just before she was killed.

0:13:13 > 0:13:20Steadman's wife, Amelia, and the victim's nephew, Dashel Jordan.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24So if it wasn't the healer who killed her, has to be one of them.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27But how did they manage to get poison into a cup of water

0:13:27 > 0:13:29they didn't go anywhere near?

0:13:29 > 0:13:31Precisely, Florence.

0:13:31 > 0:13:32JP, the wife, Amelia King.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35Actually, sir, she's still Amelia Carris.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38- From what I can tell, her and Steadman never got married.- Oh.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41So, born and raised in Mississippi,

0:13:41 > 0:13:43studied Business Management at college,

0:13:43 > 0:13:46and worked at a whisky distillery firm until she met Steadman.

0:13:46 > 0:13:47Lucky her!

0:13:47 > 0:13:51But as Amelia only met Fabienne for the first time two days ago,

0:13:51 > 0:13:54- it's unlikely she has a motive to want her dead?- Yeah.

0:13:54 > 0:13:59And finally, Dashel Jordan, aged 30, Fabienne's nephew,

0:13:59 > 0:14:01married, one child, aged two.

0:14:01 > 0:14:05Owner of a restaurant called The Rum Cafe, lives with his family nearby.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08Dashel's the only person to have known Fabienne in the present.

0:14:08 > 0:14:11Well, let's see what we can find out about their relationship.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14I know the chef who used to run The Rum Cafe before Dashel bought

0:14:14 > 0:14:16it off of her. I could see if she knows anything.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19- Go for it, Dwayne.- I'll head over there first thing

0:14:19 > 0:14:22- in the morning, Chief.- Yeah. Well, until we get the postmortem

0:14:22 > 0:14:25and toxicology results, very little we can do here.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27Let's pick it up afresh again in the morning.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38So you think there's something wrong with him?

0:14:38 > 0:14:40- Who? The Inspector? - No. Your new friend.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42Rip Van Pico.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45Oh, no, no, no, he's just, you know, preserving his energy.

0:14:45 > 0:14:46Oh, really!

0:14:46 > 0:14:48CAR HORN HONKS

0:14:48 > 0:14:49Ah, Darlene!

0:14:52 > 0:14:55It's been a hot day and I was wondering

0:14:55 > 0:14:57if you fancied cooling off with me in the bar?

0:14:57 > 0:15:00You know, Darlene, I can think of nothing I'd like more.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02Then jump in, Officer Myers.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05But I've only just agreed this minute to meet up with

0:15:05 > 0:15:06another friend of mine!

0:15:08 > 0:15:10Another time maybe?

0:15:10 > 0:15:12- I'll hold you to it. - I'll make sure you do.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20So, you fancy a beer at Catherine's?

0:15:20 > 0:15:22But I just heard you say you're meeting up with a...

0:15:22 > 0:15:24Yes, I know what I said.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26But what I said wasn't true.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29I thought things were going well with you and Darlene?

0:15:29 > 0:15:32It's tactics, JP. Gamesmanship!

0:15:32 > 0:15:34And I'm playing a particularly sophisticated game here,

0:15:34 > 0:15:36in case you hadn't noticed.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38I hadn't.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40Page one of the dating textbook -

0:15:40 > 0:15:42if you want to keep a woman interested,

0:15:42 > 0:15:44make her think that you are not.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47- Comprendez? - And that actually works?

0:15:47 > 0:15:48Hasn't failed me yet.

0:15:48 > 0:15:50So you and poochy coming for a drink or what?

0:15:57 > 0:15:59How do I serve God?

0:15:59 > 0:16:02And I have to tell you, friends, my heart hung heavy.

0:16:02 > 0:16:03I had to pray on that.

0:16:04 > 0:16:08And I walked in here and I realised, there's no one way to serve God.

0:16:08 > 0:16:11- Can I get an Amen on that? - ALL:- Amen!

0:16:11 > 0:16:12Takes some bottle, doesn't it?

0:16:12 > 0:16:15Standing up on stage, trying to convince a whole room

0:16:15 > 0:16:17full of people that you can heal their ills.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20You know, back in Ireland, we've got faith healers by the dozen.

0:16:20 > 0:16:21Having the cure, we call it.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23But over there it's a community thing.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26They don't, by and large, charge you for it!

0:16:26 > 0:16:28So when I see someone like this making literally

0:16:28 > 0:16:30bucket-loads of money from it, brings out the sceptic in me.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32You think he scams people?

0:16:32 > 0:16:34Well, I don't think God's work -

0:16:34 > 0:16:37if that's what this is - requires a fee paying.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40Then if he's a fake, maybe he could be the killer too?

0:16:40 > 0:16:41Maybe, Florence. Maybe.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43So you're coming or staying?

0:16:43 > 0:16:46Oh, no, you go on ahead. I won't be much longer.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23DOOR SHUTS

0:17:26 > 0:17:28Right, Fabienne, let's see who you really are.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51Think of your waistline, Jack.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28"Fabienne, Steadman and Wallace."

0:18:40 > 0:18:44- Morning, sir.- Ah, Florence. How are you?- I'm very well, sir.

0:18:44 > 0:18:46And I bring good news.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49Postmortem and lab results were e-mailed through first thing.

0:18:49 > 0:18:52And you were right - cause of death was poisoning.

0:18:52 > 0:18:55When they tested the water in the cup, they found...

0:18:55 > 0:18:57"Significant traces of nicotine syrup."

0:18:57 > 0:18:59Nicotine poisoning?

0:18:59 > 0:19:01I checked online and it's fairly easy to make.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03You just boil down cigarette tobacco in water.

0:19:03 > 0:19:07So, in theory, any of our suspects could have the means to make it.

0:19:07 > 0:19:08What's all this?

0:19:08 > 0:19:11Last night, I had a little shufty round Fabienne's house.

0:19:11 > 0:19:15And I found these diaries, late teens, early twenties.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17Sounds like you've found something.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19I have, and it's Steadman.

0:19:19 > 0:19:20He's been lying to us.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23He told us that he and Fabienne were just childhood friends.

0:19:23 > 0:19:24But it was more than that?

0:19:24 > 0:19:28Yeah, since the age of 18, they were an item the best part of two years.

0:19:28 > 0:19:29Here, look at this.

0:19:29 > 0:19:30June 25th, 1984.

0:19:30 > 0:19:33"Marrying Steadman will be a dream come true.

0:19:33 > 0:19:36"I can't wait for us to start making the arrangements."

0:19:36 > 0:19:39- They were engaged? - Yeah, all set to be married.

0:19:39 > 0:19:43Until he and his mate, this fella, Wallace Miller,

0:19:43 > 0:19:45they left for a short trip to America together.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47Steadman was going to study the Bible over there.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50- And what happened? - Well, completely out of the blue,

0:19:50 > 0:19:52Steadman sends her a letter saying their relationship's over

0:19:52 > 0:19:54and he's not coming back. Just like that.

0:19:54 > 0:19:55Does he say why?

0:19:55 > 0:19:58I can't find anything in the diaries.

0:19:58 > 0:20:01But what I'd like to know is, why did Steadman keep that from us?

0:20:01 > 0:20:02Why did he lie?

0:20:03 > 0:20:05I realise how this must look, Inspector.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07I'm very happy to explain.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09What it looks, Mr King,

0:20:09 > 0:20:12is that you were lying to police officers investigating a murder.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14I just didn't think it was relevant.

0:20:14 > 0:20:17My relationship with Fabienne ended decades ago.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20What possible link could that have to her being murdered now?

0:20:20 > 0:20:22But surely you can see the only link is you?

0:20:22 > 0:20:25And it's not for you to decide what is or isn't relevant.

0:20:25 > 0:20:26I understand.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28Everything all right, sweetheart?

0:20:28 > 0:20:32- Amelia, would you fetch that box I keep my personal stuff in?- Yeah.

0:20:36 > 0:20:39I was 20 when I arrived in the States.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42Had a great ambition to serve the Lord,

0:20:42 > 0:20:45and I knew I would never achieve what He wanted

0:20:45 > 0:20:48if I returned to Saint Marie and settled down with Fabienne.

0:20:51 > 0:20:52Thanks, hun.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57These are letters Fabienne sent to me in America.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02You'll see, although she's upset,

0:21:02 > 0:21:06she accepts the reasons I gave for breaking up our relationship.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08There was nothing sinister in how things ended

0:21:08 > 0:21:10between Fabienne and me.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13And certainly nothing that would lead to my poisoning her

0:21:13 > 0:21:14all these years later.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21Ah, morning, sir. Serg.

0:21:21 > 0:21:22Morning, JP.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24And morning, Pico.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26And how are you today?

0:21:26 > 0:21:28Sir, I've just been to the school that Fabienne taught at.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31I spoke to the headmistress. She told me that Fabienne

0:21:31 > 0:21:33and Steadman were a couple back in the day.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36We've just been speaking to Steadman about it.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38Well, apparently Fabienne never got over it.

0:21:38 > 0:21:41She felt Steadman was the only man she could ever love.

0:21:41 > 0:21:43In fact, she never met anyone else.

0:21:43 > 0:21:44- It hurt that much.- Mmm.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47Where's Dwayne got to?

0:21:47 > 0:21:49He's gone to visit the chef who used to own The Rum Cafe.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51Ah, that's very pro-active of him.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53Going the extra mile. Good to hear it.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57Creole spiced eggs!

0:21:57 > 0:22:01It was always my favourite dish of yours, you know, Marjorie?

0:22:01 > 0:22:04So, we better get down to business.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07Tell me about the guy who's running your old restaurant.

0:22:08 > 0:22:10So I checked with local and US immigration,

0:22:10 > 0:22:13- seems Fabienne never even left the island.- Never?

0:22:13 > 0:22:17As for Steadman and Amelia King, neither has set foot in Saint Marie

0:22:17 > 0:22:20since he left the island 35 years ago.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22What about phone or e-mail records?

0:22:22 > 0:22:25Nothing to link Fabienne to either the faith healer or his wife.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27So Steadman really didn't communicate with her

0:22:27 > 0:22:29since that last letter.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32Which gives him even less reason to want her dead.

0:22:32 > 0:22:34Why would you murder someone with nicotine poison you haven't

0:22:34 > 0:22:36clapped eyes on in 35 years?

0:22:37 > 0:22:40Sir. I think I might have something for you.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42So I've just been speaking to the solicitor that's been

0:22:42 > 0:22:44handling Fabienne's estate.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46And it turns out she changed her will just under a month ago.

0:22:46 > 0:22:50- In whose favour? - Her nephew's, Dashel Jordan.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52Fabienne told the solicitor that Dashel had been looking after her

0:22:52 > 0:22:54and she wanted to reward him.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56But the solicitor advised caution.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59He says Dashel had only been back in her life for a matter of months.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01So the loving nephew didn't look after

0:23:01 > 0:23:02her for as long as he made out.

0:23:02 > 0:23:04And what does he stand to inherit?

0:23:04 > 0:23:06What cash she has left, assets, house.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09In total, it's around 65,000.

0:23:09 > 0:23:10That's a fair few bob.

0:23:10 > 0:23:13Question is, how desperate was Dashel for the cash?

0:23:13 > 0:23:14I'd say very.

0:23:14 > 0:23:17I just spoke to my chef friend, Marjorie, and apparently ever since

0:23:17 > 0:23:21Dashel took over the restaurant, business has been far from booming.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23- Well, I never. - You better believe it.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25She's still in touch with the staff there.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28And they said that all the customers have as good as disappeared.

0:23:28 > 0:23:32There's final demand bills landing all over the doormat.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34Only last week, the bailiffs turned up.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37So, Dashel needs a big injection of money.

0:23:37 > 0:23:39And now Fabienne's dead, that's exactly what he's got.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44- Do this one as well, all right? - OK.

0:23:46 > 0:23:48Inspector, how can I help?

0:23:48 > 0:23:50Ah, just a quick chat, Dashel.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53Of course.

0:23:53 > 0:23:54Let's go over here.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57It's fairly quiet, isn't it?

0:23:57 > 0:23:59Just waiting on the lunchtime rush to start, you know?

0:23:59 > 0:24:01At quarter to two in the afternoon?

0:24:01 > 0:24:03Well, people round here generally like to have a late lunch.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05Right. Interesting.

0:24:05 > 0:24:06I never knew that.

0:24:06 > 0:24:10Only, we've heard that things have been quiet for some time now.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12Pretty much ever since you took over two years ago.

0:24:12 > 0:24:13Is that true?

0:24:13 > 0:24:16When the previous owner left, people stopped coming.

0:24:16 > 0:24:17I think they thought with a different chef,

0:24:17 > 0:24:20- it wouldn't be the same. - So what are you going to do?

0:24:20 > 0:24:23We'll manage. Somehow.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25Well, we've just spoken with your aunt's solicitor

0:24:25 > 0:24:28and apparently she left everything to you.

0:24:28 > 0:24:31But I'm guessing you probably know that?

0:24:31 > 0:24:33Aunt Fabienne was very generous.

0:24:33 > 0:24:34I'm grateful to her.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36Oh, I'd say you are, all right.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38You're up that creek with the paddle shortage

0:24:38 > 0:24:41and your aunt has just thrown you one hell of a lifeline.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43You're not saying that I killed her?

0:24:43 > 0:24:45I wouldn't, I couldn't!

0:24:45 > 0:24:48Well, if I had a dollar for every time I heard that,

0:24:48 > 0:24:49I'd be able to take early retirement.

0:24:49 > 0:24:53Buy a couple of acres back in Cork, small cottage, some chickens.

0:24:53 > 0:24:54Mmm. Maybe even a goat or two.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57I tried everything to make this place work.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59I came this close to losing it all.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01And then you remembered, good old Aunt Fabienne!

0:25:03 > 0:25:05I admit it.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08If I didn't need the money, I would never have made contact.

0:25:09 > 0:25:12I'm not proud of that, Inspector, but I'm not a killer.

0:25:14 > 0:25:16Ask anyone inside of that marquee,

0:25:16 > 0:25:19I didn't go anywhere near the cup that poisoned my aunt.

0:25:19 > 0:25:21Apart from Reverend King, no-one did.

0:25:24 > 0:25:25PHONE VIBRATES

0:25:27 > 0:25:28Is that Darlene?

0:25:28 > 0:25:31She has quite a way with words.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33She wants to meet up later.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35But you're not going to reply, no?

0:25:35 > 0:25:37- Chief.- Sarg.

0:25:37 > 0:25:41As police dogs go, he'd make a good draft excluder, wouldn't he?

0:25:41 > 0:25:43No, you're grand, JP.

0:25:43 > 0:25:44Let sleeping dogs lie and all that.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48I don't suppose you lads have managed to solve the entire case,

0:25:48 > 0:25:51- by any chance? - Sorry, Chief, not quite.

0:25:51 > 0:25:54But we have had the financial checks back on Steadman and Amelia.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56Ooh, I'm all ears.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58They're doing very well for themselves.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01Between them, they've got savings of up to 600,000.

0:26:01 > 0:26:02- Ooh.- I told you, Florence.

0:26:02 > 0:26:05It's not a charitable endeavour Steadman's running.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07- It's a lucrative business. - I also noticed that recently

0:26:07 > 0:26:10they moved their accounts from the US to banks based in Europe.

0:26:10 > 0:26:13- Really? And do we know why? - I called their accountant,

0:26:13 > 0:26:14but he was reluctant to talk to me.

0:26:14 > 0:26:18But I got chatting to his secretary, Tiffany,

0:26:18 > 0:26:20and she liked my accent, so I got her to open up.

0:26:20 > 0:26:22And what did Tiffany have to say?

0:26:22 > 0:26:25As far as she knew, the faith healer had left the States for good.

0:26:25 > 0:26:27There was a scandal brewing and he needed to get out

0:26:27 > 0:26:30and start afresh in a different country.

0:26:30 > 0:26:31Scandal? What kind of scandal?

0:26:31 > 0:26:34I'm afraid Tiffany wouldn't give me any more than that.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36She said she wasn't one to spread gossip.

0:26:36 > 0:26:40So there's more to Steadman's return than divine calling.

0:26:40 > 0:26:45Everything comes back to him, doesn't it? Every time.

0:26:45 > 0:26:49If Steadman has killed Fabienne, then it must have something

0:26:49 > 0:26:51to do with the last time they knew each other 35 years ago.

0:26:51 > 0:26:53- Wallace Miller... - What about him?

0:26:53 > 0:26:56Well, it looks like he grew up with them both.

0:26:56 > 0:26:59Dwayne, JP, see if you can track Wallace down.

0:26:59 > 0:27:01Now, we know he travelled to the US when Steadman moved there.

0:27:01 > 0:27:04Beyond that, it's a bit of a blank. See what you can do.

0:27:04 > 0:27:05Yes, sir.

0:27:05 > 0:27:08The village Steadman and Fabienne grew up in,

0:27:08 > 0:27:10- where is it?- San Boullestre.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13I think it's on the other side of the island.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15Well, I think we should go there, see if we can find any old friends

0:27:15 > 0:27:18of theirs, neighbours, anyone who knows them.

0:27:31 > 0:27:32"Let's go to San Boullestre," he said.

0:27:34 > 0:27:36"Let's interview the locals."

0:27:36 > 0:27:38If we could only find some.

0:27:42 > 0:27:45Sorry to startle you. DI Mooney, DS Cassell.

0:27:45 > 0:27:47You been on the night shift by any chance?

0:27:47 > 0:27:49And the day shift.

0:27:49 > 0:27:52We wanted to ask the locals a few questions, but it looks like...

0:27:52 > 0:27:54They're long gone.

0:27:55 > 0:27:56Developers moved everyone.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59No-one here but me and a few goats.

0:27:59 > 0:28:01We won't get much out of them.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03Do you have any of the residents' contact details?

0:28:03 > 0:28:06Got the number of the building company, if that helps?

0:28:06 > 0:28:07Great.

0:28:09 > 0:28:10Here we go.

0:28:12 > 0:28:13Must get lonely around here.

0:28:13 > 0:28:16You know, it's the most company I've had for ages.

0:28:16 > 0:28:19You guys today, the preacher man yesterday.

0:28:21 > 0:28:23- Preacher man?- Faith healer.

0:28:23 > 0:28:26Came to see his family home before it's knocked down.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34What did he do when he was in here?

0:28:34 > 0:28:36- Had a look around. - And how long did he stay?

0:28:36 > 0:28:38- Half an hour?- OK if we have a look? - Sure.

0:28:43 > 0:28:47- You think he was here just for old times' sake, sir?- Maybe.

0:28:47 > 0:28:50Or maybe there's something he left here and he came back to collect it?

0:28:50 > 0:28:52He's up to something, I'm sure of it.

0:28:52 > 0:28:55Yeah. In the morning when the court opens, we request a warrant

0:28:55 > 0:28:57- and we go search his villa. - Yeah.

0:29:06 > 0:29:07Aye, aye, aye.

0:29:07 > 0:29:09Good to see you, Darlene.

0:29:09 > 0:29:11Looking lovely as usual.

0:29:15 > 0:29:18So what can I get you to drink?

0:29:18 > 0:29:21I'm going to give you one chance to apologise.

0:29:21 > 0:29:24And if you want this relationship to have any kind of future,

0:29:24 > 0:29:26I suggest you take it.

0:29:26 > 0:29:28Apologise, Darlene? What for?

0:29:28 > 0:29:30I know what you've been up to, Dwayne Myers.

0:29:30 > 0:29:32Ignoring my texts, cancelling dates.

0:29:32 > 0:29:34You've been playing hard to get, haven't you?

0:29:34 > 0:29:36Never! I wouldn't do that.

0:29:36 > 0:29:38Especially with you, Darlene.

0:29:38 > 0:29:39I'll say it again.

0:29:39 > 0:29:41One chance.

0:29:41 > 0:29:44Say you're sorry and we can just start enjoying the evening.

0:29:46 > 0:29:47I... Well...

0:29:48 > 0:29:50- You know... - HORN HONKS

0:29:52 > 0:29:53Right.

0:29:53 > 0:29:55That means your time's up.

0:29:55 > 0:29:56What?!

0:29:57 > 0:29:59This is Gerald. My substitute date.

0:30:01 > 0:30:03Night, Dwayne.

0:30:08 > 0:30:09Who the hell is Gerald?!

0:30:13 > 0:30:14I made us dinner.

0:30:14 > 0:30:17I had a feeling you were going to come back and work.

0:30:17 > 0:30:20Oh, fair play to you, Florence. What is it?

0:30:20 > 0:30:21Ta-daam!

0:30:21 > 0:30:23Mooney's meatballs! Good on you.

0:30:23 > 0:30:25I found the recipe online. I hope they're OK.

0:30:25 > 0:30:27I'm sure they'll be fantastic.

0:30:27 > 0:30:29Tell you what, you grab the plates and the cutlery.

0:30:29 > 0:30:32I'll see if there's a few beers lurking in that fridge.

0:30:32 > 0:30:34So, you're working late a lot, sir.

0:30:34 > 0:30:38Since Dwayne moved out, you seem to be spending all your evenings here.

0:30:38 > 0:30:40You're not worried about me, I hope, Florence?

0:30:40 > 0:30:42I'm just checking if you're all right. Is that allowed?

0:30:42 > 0:30:45It's allowed.

0:30:45 > 0:30:48Yeah, I guess you're right about me staying late a bit.

0:30:48 > 0:30:51Just not accustomed to having the shack to myself.

0:30:51 > 0:30:53So used to having a daughter around.

0:30:53 > 0:30:55It's not that long ago I had a wife as well.

0:30:58 > 0:31:00Ah, the shack is great.

0:31:00 > 0:31:02It doesn't really feel like home yet.

0:31:03 > 0:31:05Then you need to make it your own.

0:31:05 > 0:31:08Make it somewhere you want to go after a day's work.

0:31:08 > 0:31:09And how would I do that?

0:31:11 > 0:31:14What do you miss the most about your home back in London?

0:31:16 > 0:31:17My record player.

0:31:18 > 0:31:20Sunday afternoons, I used to cook a big roast,

0:31:20 > 0:31:23sink into an armchair, pull on the old headphones,

0:31:23 > 0:31:24stick on the vinyl.

0:31:25 > 0:31:27Yeah, heaven.

0:31:27 > 0:31:29There you go. That's your answer.

0:31:29 > 0:31:31You know, I like your thinking, Florence.

0:31:31 > 0:31:32A record player.

0:31:34 > 0:31:35So...

0:31:37 > 0:31:38..how're the meatballs?

0:31:38 > 0:31:40Mmm. Excellent. Delicious.

0:31:41 > 0:31:42Nearly as good as mine.

0:32:12 > 0:32:13OK, thanks for your help.

0:32:17 > 0:32:20I've been through these diaries and letters a dozen times now.

0:32:20 > 0:32:23Not even a hint of why Steadman might kill Fabienne.

0:32:24 > 0:32:25How are you getting on?

0:32:25 > 0:32:28- I've called round all of the old residents of San Boullestre.- And?

0:32:28 > 0:32:32Most people just remember Fabienne and Steadman being happy

0:32:32 > 0:32:34and very much in love.

0:32:34 > 0:32:36But there were a few who also remembered the friend

0:32:36 > 0:32:38Steadman went to the US with.

0:32:38 > 0:32:40Oh, yes! Wallace Miller.

0:32:40 > 0:32:43They said there was a rift between Steadman and Wallace

0:32:43 > 0:32:45when Steadman got engaged to Fabienne.

0:32:45 > 0:32:48Apparently Wallace didn't approve.

0:32:48 > 0:32:50Really? Did they say why?

0:32:50 > 0:32:52No-one ever really knew.

0:32:52 > 0:32:56Well, hopefully Dwayne'll manage to get a hold of this Wallace fella.

0:32:56 > 0:32:57Steadman King.

0:32:57 > 0:33:01Returns to Saint Marie after a hiatus of 35 years.

0:33:01 > 0:33:06And within a week of his return, his old high school sweetheart is dead.

0:33:06 > 0:33:08As he's the only person who touched the cup that contained

0:33:08 > 0:33:12the poison that killed her, it has to be him that did it.

0:33:12 > 0:33:15Yeah. Well, the man's arrogant enough to think that

0:33:15 > 0:33:17he can perform miracles.

0:33:17 > 0:33:20But is he really arrogant enough to commit murder in a room

0:33:20 > 0:33:22full of witnesses and get away with it?

0:33:22 > 0:33:27And if he is, how do we prove it, when there is no sign of a motive?

0:33:27 > 0:33:29Why would he come back here to kill a woman

0:33:29 > 0:33:30he hasn't seen for 35 years?

0:33:31 > 0:33:34What I wouldn't give for a bit of divine intervention right now.

0:33:34 > 0:33:36PHONE RINGS

0:33:36 > 0:33:37DS Cassell.

0:33:38 > 0:33:43Oh, that's great news. Thank you. We're on our way.

0:33:43 > 0:33:45The court, our search warrant has been granted.

0:33:50 > 0:33:51What's going on?

0:33:51 > 0:33:53They have a search warrant.

0:33:53 > 0:33:57Tell me, what exactly do you expect to find here, Inspector?

0:33:57 > 0:33:59Well, that's what we're going to find out.

0:34:01 > 0:34:02OK, Pico.

0:34:02 > 0:34:04Saint Helene's finest.

0:34:04 > 0:34:06Now's your chance to shine.

0:34:09 > 0:34:11I guess we do this the old-fashioned way.

0:34:51 > 0:34:53You think there's poison in my cosmetics?

0:34:55 > 0:34:58I wouldn't be doing my job properly if I didn't at least consider it.

0:34:58 > 0:35:02So where would I find Steadman's toiletries?

0:35:02 > 0:35:03In his bedroom.

0:35:03 > 0:35:05You have separate bedrooms?

0:35:05 > 0:35:07You know full well we have, Inspector.

0:35:07 > 0:35:09You were in there less than a minute ago.

0:35:10 > 0:35:12I'm a very light sleeper.

0:35:12 > 0:35:14Steadman is a very heavy snorer.

0:35:14 > 0:35:17A crime I've been accused of myself manys a time.

0:35:17 > 0:35:19Used to drive my missus up the wall.

0:35:19 > 0:35:21Said it was like sleeping with a walrus.

0:35:21 > 0:35:24Although, how she'd know that!

0:35:24 > 0:35:26Can I ask, what's with the wedding rings?

0:35:26 > 0:35:29You know, with you two not actually being married?

0:35:29 > 0:35:34We've been together years, the bond between us is very strong.

0:35:34 > 0:35:35But you're right.

0:35:35 > 0:35:39We're not husband and wife, we're manager and client.

0:35:39 > 0:35:42Jesus is your product and Steadman's your salesman.

0:35:42 > 0:35:45Our customers are not the type who'd take too kindly to us

0:35:45 > 0:35:46not being wed, so...

0:35:46 > 0:35:47A little white lie.

0:35:48 > 0:35:50- To protect Steadman. - From what?

0:35:50 > 0:35:51Exposure.

0:35:53 > 0:35:57Some of our congregation may not take too kindly to his...

0:35:57 > 0:35:58leanings.

0:35:59 > 0:36:00He's gay.

0:36:02 > 0:36:04Is that why he left the island all those years ago?

0:36:04 > 0:36:07I think, deep down in his subconscious,

0:36:07 > 0:36:10he recognised that marrying Fabienne was not the right thing to do.

0:36:10 > 0:36:13Would this have anything to do with the scandal that

0:36:13 > 0:36:15I hear's brewing back in the States?

0:36:15 > 0:36:18One of our regular congregation caught Steadman in a bar,

0:36:18 > 0:36:19with a man.

0:36:19 > 0:36:21He'd had one drink too many.

0:36:21 > 0:36:23Should never have even been there.

0:36:23 > 0:36:25We tried to deal with it.

0:36:25 > 0:36:28But money holds little sway over a devout believer.

0:36:28 > 0:36:30She felt people had a right to know the truth.

0:36:30 > 0:36:33- So what happens now? - We keep going.

0:36:33 > 0:36:36- There's a whole world out there needs our help.- Oh, yeah.

0:36:36 > 0:36:39We'll be heading to Europe when we're done here.

0:36:41 > 0:36:45So how does this all reckon with the big man upstairs?

0:36:45 > 0:36:48The hypocrisy, the lies.

0:36:48 > 0:36:49Oh, come on, Inspector.

0:36:50 > 0:36:52There's no big man upstairs.

0:36:54 > 0:36:55There's no upstairs.

0:37:04 > 0:37:07She's loyal, ruthlessly so.

0:37:07 > 0:37:09Knows exactly where her bread is buttered.

0:37:09 > 0:37:13So, what? You think she killed Fabienne to protect Steadman?

0:37:13 > 0:37:14Maybe.

0:37:14 > 0:37:17But even if she was the one who did it, we still come back to the

0:37:17 > 0:37:22same problem. We can't find a reason for Steadman to want Fabienne dead.

0:37:43 > 0:37:45Think of your waistline, Jack.

0:37:47 > 0:37:48Well, I never!

0:37:51 > 0:37:54Fabienne had the same make of sweet in her handbag

0:37:54 > 0:37:55and at her house.

0:37:55 > 0:37:59Which means it's either another coincidence, or she was here.

0:38:00 > 0:38:02She never set foot inside the place.

0:38:02 > 0:38:04Ah, fair enough. We'll just get it checked for prints.

0:38:06 > 0:38:07Tell me, Steadman,

0:38:07 > 0:38:10how did the visit to your old house in San Boullestre go?

0:38:14 > 0:38:15I heard it was going to be demolished.

0:38:15 > 0:38:17Wanted one last look.

0:38:17 > 0:38:19Nothing wrong with that, is there?

0:38:20 > 0:38:24- You're a smoker, I see? - Yes, a habit I can't seem to kick.

0:38:25 > 0:38:27It's just the poison that killed Fabienne was nicotine,

0:38:27 > 0:38:29and here you are with a packet of fags.

0:38:29 > 0:38:32They're freely available, Inspector.

0:38:32 > 0:38:34Yet another one of those coincidences that we keep

0:38:34 > 0:38:35stumbling across.

0:38:35 > 0:38:39Sir, I found it in the bins out the back.

0:38:46 > 0:38:47Steadman?

0:38:47 > 0:38:48Nicotine poison.

0:38:51 > 0:38:52I want a lawyer.

0:38:52 > 0:38:55I couldn't agree more, because I'm arresting you

0:38:55 > 0:38:56on suspicion of murder.

0:39:04 > 0:39:06So why you arrest him, Chief?

0:39:06 > 0:39:08We found some rather incriminating evidence, Dwayne.

0:39:08 > 0:39:10I'll check it for his prints, sir.

0:39:10 > 0:39:13But while the physical evidence is damning,

0:39:13 > 0:39:15we still have no idea what his motive is.

0:39:15 > 0:39:18Dwayne, any joy getting hold of Wallace Miller?

0:39:18 > 0:39:21OK, so, I tried all the usual routes in the US, you know,

0:39:21 > 0:39:23IRS, Benefit Agencies,

0:39:23 > 0:39:26health care, and he does not show up anywhere on their radar.

0:39:26 > 0:39:28- Nothing at all?- Nope.

0:39:28 > 0:39:30So I checked with their immigration.

0:39:30 > 0:39:32And the reason Wallace doesn't show up

0:39:32 > 0:39:35anywhere on the records in the US is because he was never there.

0:39:35 > 0:39:38Well, then why did Steadman write letters, claiming he was with him?

0:39:38 > 0:39:40Then I checked to see what evidence there was of him

0:39:40 > 0:39:42- staying here on the island. - And?

0:39:42 > 0:39:43Nothing.

0:39:43 > 0:39:48No sign of any financial activity, rent payments or bank accounts.

0:39:48 > 0:39:50As far as Saint Marie is concerned,

0:39:50 > 0:39:54Wallace Miller hasn't existed for the past 35 years.

0:39:54 > 0:39:57So if Wallace never left the island for the US,

0:39:57 > 0:40:01but he isn't here either, where is he?

0:40:01 > 0:40:06If someone stops existing, goes off the radar, then it's either

0:40:06 > 0:40:09because they've done something very bad and don't want to be found.

0:40:09 > 0:40:11But Wallace never had a police record.

0:40:11 > 0:40:13Exactly.

0:40:13 > 0:40:15Or it's because they're dead.

0:40:16 > 0:40:19- You think Wallace Miller is dead? - It's possible.

0:40:19 > 0:40:22But as Steadman claims in his letters that Wallace was

0:40:22 > 0:40:25there with him in America, when we know for definite that he wasn't,

0:40:25 > 0:40:28well, then that looks an awful lot like Steadman was covering up

0:40:28 > 0:40:31- Wallace's death. - But why would he do that?

0:40:31 > 0:40:33He'd do it if he was somehow involved in causing it.

0:40:33 > 0:40:35So where's the body?

0:40:35 > 0:40:36Well, it's just a hunch, all right?

0:40:36 > 0:40:39But I'd say somewhere buried in the grounds of Steadman's

0:40:39 > 0:40:40old house in San Boullestre.

0:40:40 > 0:40:43That's why Steadman was there a few days ago.

0:40:43 > 0:40:45That's why he came back to Saint Marie.

0:40:45 > 0:40:47And if he found out his old village was being redeveloped,

0:40:47 > 0:40:49then he'd know the body could be discovered.

0:40:49 > 0:40:52So he went to the village to retrieve the body and move it.

0:40:52 > 0:40:54And that's exactly what he would've done, had it not been

0:40:54 > 0:40:56for the security guard. Call the commissioner.

0:40:56 > 0:40:58We need to go back to San Boullestre.

0:41:01 > 0:41:04- You're certain there's a body? - 100%, sir.

0:41:04 > 0:41:05Maybe 90.

0:41:05 > 0:41:0875. Until we find it, I can't be certain of anything,

0:41:08 > 0:41:10but it's just that hunch, you know?

0:41:15 > 0:41:18OK, team. Let's see if we can find any sign of where

0:41:18 > 0:41:21the body might be buried - raised ground, loose concrete, anything.

0:41:27 > 0:41:28Inspector.

0:41:30 > 0:41:32Tell me, why would Steadman kill his friend?

0:41:34 > 0:41:36Wallace Miller didn't approve of Steadman's relationship

0:41:36 > 0:41:40- with Fabienne.- Because? - Well, I think...

0:41:40 > 0:41:44because he knew Fabienne's heart would be broken, and Steadman's gay

0:41:44 > 0:41:48so perhaps Wallace threatened to expose his friend's secret.

0:41:48 > 0:41:51So they argued and things got out of hand.

0:41:51 > 0:41:53And next thing Wallace is dead.

0:41:53 > 0:41:55But why kill Fabienne all these years later?

0:41:57 > 0:42:00I don't know how, but I think she discovered the truth.

0:42:00 > 0:42:01Somehow she worked it out.

0:42:01 > 0:42:04Now, we have evidence she went to his villa.

0:42:04 > 0:42:06And I think she went there to confront him about what

0:42:06 > 0:42:07he did to Wallace.

0:42:07 > 0:42:10We'd need to fly in the radar equipment from Guadeloupe,

0:42:10 > 0:42:15along with a team to operate it, all because you are 75% certain

0:42:15 > 0:42:21that a crime was maybe committed over 35 years ago.

0:42:21 > 0:42:24Because you have a hunch?

0:42:32 > 0:42:34- OK.- Please, sir.

0:42:34 > 0:42:37If Wallace Miller is buried here, he deserves to be given...

0:42:37 > 0:42:39- What?- I said yes.

0:42:43 > 0:42:45PICO BARKS He never barks!

0:42:46 > 0:42:47Maybe he's found a bone.

0:42:48 > 0:42:50Or bones.

0:42:52 > 0:42:54Inspector, bad news I'm afraid.

0:42:54 > 0:42:57The team at Guadeloupe can't get here until the weekend.

0:42:57 > 0:42:59I don't think we'll be needing them, sir.

0:43:04 > 0:43:06I'll get a dig team up here ASAP.

0:43:10 > 0:43:13Ah! See, ye of little faith, Dwayne!

0:43:13 > 0:43:14Yes, boy!

0:43:22 > 0:43:24If you miss her, tell her.

0:43:26 > 0:43:28I don't think she wants to hear it, JP.

0:43:28 > 0:43:29Dwayne, you like her, don't you?

0:43:31 > 0:43:34- Mmm. - And I think she likes you too.

0:43:34 > 0:43:35But Darlene, she's a straight-up girl,

0:43:35 > 0:43:38so you have to behave like a straight-up guy.

0:43:39 > 0:43:41Cos that's who you are.

0:43:41 > 0:43:42They found a body.

0:43:42 > 0:43:44Decades old.

0:43:44 > 0:43:464:32 this afternoon.

0:43:46 > 0:43:49Damage to the skull indicates death was caused by a heavy blow,

0:43:49 > 0:43:51- or blows to the head. - So we were right.

0:43:51 > 0:43:52We cracked it.

0:43:52 > 0:43:57However, the pathologist carrying out the initial investigation using

0:43:57 > 0:44:00the dental records of Wallace Miller, informed me that the

0:44:00 > 0:44:04remains found are not those of Wallace Miller.

0:44:04 > 0:44:07Consult Missing Person files, see if there's a match.

0:44:07 > 0:44:10As of 4:32pm, we have a John Doe on our hands.

0:44:10 > 0:44:13But it doesn't make any sense.

0:44:13 > 0:44:14It has to be Wallace!

0:44:14 > 0:44:16I mean, who else could it be?

0:44:16 > 0:44:20I suggest we all go home, re-group tomorrow.

0:44:20 > 0:44:22No, we need to check the body again.

0:44:22 > 0:44:23It's a mistake, it has to be.

0:44:23 > 0:44:26Inspector, there's no mistake.

0:44:26 > 0:44:30- Even if it was Wallace, it still wouldn't make any sense.- Why not?

0:44:30 > 0:44:33Because if Fabienne confronted Steadman about killing Wallace,

0:44:33 > 0:44:35why would she then want to be healed by a man

0:44:35 > 0:44:36she believed to be a murderer?

0:44:39 > 0:44:41Go home. Sleep.

0:44:41 > 0:44:44Start again with a clear head.

0:44:44 > 0:44:45Yes, Commissioner.

0:44:46 > 0:44:47I'll head off now.

0:44:49 > 0:44:50You should do the same.

0:44:58 > 0:45:01It must've been added directly before Fabienne sipped from it.

0:45:01 > 0:45:04Dashel brought Fabienne to see us the day before yesterday.

0:45:05 > 0:45:08"Marrying Steadman will be a dream come true."

0:45:08 > 0:45:10The remains found are not those of Wallace Miller.

0:45:11 > 0:45:13You're absolutely right.

0:45:13 > 0:45:16Why would Fabienne allow herself to be healed by a man

0:45:16 > 0:45:18she believed to be a murderer?

0:45:18 > 0:45:20That's what you said, sir, and you were right!

0:45:20 > 0:45:23Why would she go to a faith healer she knew was a killer? Why?

0:45:23 > 0:45:25Sir, I could kiss you, but I won't.

0:45:25 > 0:45:27Dwayne, JP, we need to find the pathologist,

0:45:27 > 0:45:30she needs to re-check the dental records of the John Doe.

0:45:30 > 0:45:31Inspector, I told you,

0:45:31 > 0:45:34the pathologist is certain the body is not that of Wallace Miller.

0:45:34 > 0:45:36And so am I!

0:45:36 > 0:45:39I know exactly who the John Doe is and I know who murdered him.

0:45:52 > 0:45:56You know, a lot of what we do as detectives is based on faith.

0:45:56 > 0:45:59Only, we call it something different. We call it instinct.

0:45:59 > 0:46:02That thing that you can't quite explain, but you're sure is true.

0:46:02 > 0:46:05Now, my instincts were telling me, for a long time during this case

0:46:05 > 0:46:08that Steadman here had to be our killer.

0:46:08 > 0:46:11But would someone really commit murder in front of a marquee

0:46:11 > 0:46:12full of witnesses?

0:46:12 > 0:46:13Mmm, and as far as we could tell,

0:46:13 > 0:46:15Steadman had no motive to kill Fabienne.

0:46:15 > 0:46:17So how could it be him?

0:46:17 > 0:46:21In the end, it turned out it wasn't Steadman who poisoned Fabienne.

0:46:21 > 0:46:25Was it you, Dashel? You're the one who inherited Fabienne's estate,

0:46:25 > 0:46:27and you sure could use the money.

0:46:27 > 0:46:28Or was it you, Amelia?

0:46:28 > 0:46:32You're clearly very protective of your business partner.

0:46:32 > 0:46:34We now know it was neither of you.

0:46:34 > 0:46:37Simple fact is that no-one murdered Fabienne Jordan.

0:46:39 > 0:46:40She took her own life.

0:46:43 > 0:46:46When Fabienne entered this marquee three days ago,

0:46:46 > 0:46:48she did so knowing she was going to die.

0:46:48 > 0:46:51In her handbag, she was carrying a capsule of nicotine poison.

0:46:53 > 0:46:56I imagine, with the crowd's attention on Steadman,

0:46:56 > 0:47:00no-one noticed as she slipped the capsule into her mouth.

0:47:00 > 0:47:03And as she was taken up onto the stage,

0:47:03 > 0:47:05she let the capsule dissolve, release its contents.

0:47:05 > 0:47:09Then when Steadman gave her the water to sip, she let

0:47:09 > 0:47:12the poison rinse from her mouth out into the cup...

0:47:13 > 0:47:15And back again, before swallowing it.

0:47:17 > 0:47:19So as when we tested the water in the cup, we'd find traces

0:47:19 > 0:47:23of the nicotine and assume the poison was put there by the killer.

0:47:23 > 0:47:25And as no-one else touched the cup,

0:47:25 > 0:47:28we assumed only Steadman could have put the poison there.

0:47:28 > 0:47:31- But why would she kill herself? - And why would she make it look like

0:47:31 > 0:47:32Steadman had done it?

0:47:32 > 0:47:35Because she knew this man's deep dark secret, didn't she?

0:47:35 > 0:47:38The man sitting here before me is not Steadman King.

0:47:41 > 0:47:44These are the dental records from a body that we discovered

0:47:44 > 0:47:48this afternoon, buried in the garden of Steadman's old house.

0:47:48 > 0:47:49Who is it?

0:47:49 > 0:47:50Steadman King.

0:47:52 > 0:47:55This man here sitting before me is actually called Wallace Miller.

0:47:57 > 0:47:59- Who?- I don't understand.

0:47:59 > 0:48:03Wallace Miller was a school friend of both Fabienne and Steadman.

0:48:03 > 0:48:06And when Steadman left for America all those years ago,

0:48:06 > 0:48:09Fabienne was under the impression that Wallace went with him.

0:48:09 > 0:48:12But that's not the case, is it? Steadman never left the island.

0:48:12 > 0:48:15How could he when he was already dead?

0:48:16 > 0:48:18So what happened all those years ago?

0:48:18 > 0:48:21Well, we know that Fabienne was madly in love with

0:48:21 > 0:48:23the real Steadman King. They'd just got engaged.

0:48:23 > 0:48:27We also know that Wallace Miller didn't approve of the relationship.

0:48:27 > 0:48:29So what was it, Wallace? Were you jealous?

0:48:31 > 0:48:32Were you in love with Steadman?

0:48:37 > 0:48:38We were close.

0:48:40 > 0:48:44He was handsome, funny, charismatic, confident.

0:48:47 > 0:48:48And I fell for him...

0:48:49 > 0:48:50..so completely.

0:48:55 > 0:48:58The night before he was due to leave for America, I told him how I felt.

0:49:00 > 0:49:01How much I loved him.

0:49:02 > 0:49:04And he told me, in no uncertain terms...

0:49:06 > 0:49:07..it couldn't work.

0:49:07 > 0:49:09Leaving you hurt.

0:49:09 > 0:49:11Humiliated, I imagine.

0:49:13 > 0:49:14He was walking away...

0:49:15 > 0:49:18..saying it was better if we didn't see each other again.

0:49:21 > 0:49:22And I..

0:49:23 > 0:49:25..just snapped.

0:49:26 > 0:49:29I pushed him and he fell down the stairs.

0:49:30 > 0:49:31Just lay there.

0:49:32 > 0:49:34I knew straightaway he was dead.

0:49:36 > 0:49:37I'd killed him.

0:49:40 > 0:49:42Steadman had already packed for his trip.

0:49:45 > 0:49:46I saw the case.

0:49:47 > 0:49:50- His passport.- And you realised you could escape...

0:49:51 > 0:49:55..if you became him, if you actually became Steadman King.

0:49:55 > 0:49:57You could leave the island and start a new life.

0:49:59 > 0:50:00So you buried him in the yard.

0:50:00 > 0:50:04And then you went and got on the plane in his place.

0:50:04 > 0:50:07They say if you tell a lie often enough you start to believe it.

0:50:07 > 0:50:10Is that what happened to you, Wallace, over the years?

0:50:10 > 0:50:12You forgot who you were.

0:50:12 > 0:50:15You genuinely believed you were Steadman.

0:50:15 > 0:50:16Until a few weeks ago

0:50:16 > 0:50:19when you found out your old village was to be demolished.

0:50:19 > 0:50:21And Steadman's body would be found.

0:50:21 > 0:50:24Forcing you to come back to Saint Marie with the

0:50:24 > 0:50:27sole purpose of moving the body and reburying it.

0:50:28 > 0:50:30The one problem was Fabienne.

0:50:30 > 0:50:32Would she recognise you as an impostor?

0:50:32 > 0:50:35I have a feeling that you knew she was losing her sight.

0:50:35 > 0:50:38Otherwise, why take the risk of returning to your home island?

0:50:38 > 0:50:39She wrote to me two years ago.

0:50:41 > 0:50:46Told me about her illness, asked for my help at that time.

0:50:46 > 0:50:47I ignored the letter.

0:50:49 > 0:50:51But when I realised I'd have to return...

0:50:51 > 0:50:53You knew her eyesight was failing

0:50:53 > 0:50:55and it was unlikely that she'd recognise you.

0:50:55 > 0:50:58But she worked it out, didn't she?

0:50:58 > 0:51:01Fabienne's vision may well have been deteriorating.

0:51:01 > 0:51:04But she realised that the man in front of her was not Steadman,

0:51:04 > 0:51:06but Wallace Miller.

0:51:06 > 0:51:09And once she knew that, well, I think she figured out what happened.

0:51:09 > 0:51:11You killed the only man that she ever loved.

0:51:12 > 0:51:18And she realised all that she'd lost - future husband, children -

0:51:18 > 0:51:19any chance of happiness.

0:51:20 > 0:51:23You'd taken all that away from her.

0:51:23 > 0:51:26So she came to see you, didn't she?

0:51:26 > 0:51:29I assume that's why we found the sweet wrapper at your house?

0:51:30 > 0:51:32And she confronted you.

0:51:33 > 0:51:38She came straight out with it, accused me of killing Steadman.

0:51:39 > 0:51:40I denied it.

0:51:41 > 0:51:44Told her no-one would believe her, they'd laugh in her face,

0:51:44 > 0:51:47this mad old woman slandering a man of God.

0:51:50 > 0:51:51I thought I'd succeeded.

0:51:53 > 0:51:54Clearly, I was wrong.

0:51:54 > 0:51:57And there and then, she decided that you must pay.

0:51:59 > 0:52:02So, meticulously, she started to leave a trail of evidence

0:52:02 > 0:52:04that would lead all the way back to you.

0:52:04 > 0:52:07She must have smelt the cigarettes off you,

0:52:07 > 0:52:10and that's what gave her the idea for the nicotine poison.

0:52:11 > 0:52:13So, she bought tobacco and boiled it down.

0:52:15 > 0:52:17We knew she was on medication for her illness, so she emptied

0:52:17 > 0:52:22a capsule, filling it with the now deadly nicotine syrup.

0:52:23 > 0:52:26And she put more of the poison in a bottle with your prints on it.

0:52:26 > 0:52:27Put it in your bin.

0:52:29 > 0:52:32The evidence she planted would point to him,

0:52:32 > 0:52:34would point to you as the killer.

0:52:34 > 0:52:37Punishment for murdering the man she loved.

0:52:37 > 0:52:38The perfect plan.

0:52:39 > 0:52:41Apart from the fact that the one thing we couldn't find

0:52:41 > 0:52:44was a motive. I mean, why kill a woman after decades?

0:52:44 > 0:52:47But we trusted our instincts that our prime suspect

0:52:47 > 0:52:48was a guilty man.

0:52:48 > 0:52:50And we were proven right.

0:52:50 > 0:52:52Only, it turns out...

0:52:52 > 0:52:54well, he was guilty of a different murder.

0:52:54 > 0:52:56One committed 35 years ago.

0:52:58 > 0:53:01Aunt Fabienne took her own life to get justice.

0:53:01 > 0:53:03The last piece of the jigsaw.

0:53:03 > 0:53:06We know that your Aunt Fabienne had a benign brain tumour.

0:53:06 > 0:53:09What we didn't realise, until we checked her medical records,

0:53:09 > 0:53:11was that this tumour had turned malignant.

0:53:11 > 0:53:13It was now inoperable.

0:53:13 > 0:53:14So killing herself was a way of...

0:53:14 > 0:53:17Well, it was a way of hurrying up her imminent death.

0:53:17 > 0:53:21Fabienne took her own life to avenge Steadman's murder.

0:53:21 > 0:53:24Now, of course, she couldn't guarantee as a result of her actions

0:53:24 > 0:53:26that Wallace Miller would be arrested or that we would

0:53:26 > 0:53:28get to the bottom of it all.

0:53:28 > 0:53:30But she took a risk that it would.

0:53:30 > 0:53:34She had faith that her actions would lead to justice being done.

0:53:36 > 0:53:38And that faith, I'm glad to say, has paid off.

0:53:40 > 0:53:43Wallace Miller, I'm arresting you for the murder of Steadman King.

0:53:48 > 0:53:49Stand up.

0:53:56 > 0:53:58Well, we did it. Two murders in one.

0:53:58 > 0:54:01- Well, we couldn't have done it without Pico.- Ah, yes.

0:54:01 > 0:54:03- On that subject...- Sir?

0:54:03 > 0:54:06So the Commissioner had a quick word before we left.

0:54:06 > 0:54:08Turns out he assumed the addition of a dog would be

0:54:08 > 0:54:10classed as an increase in staff numbers,

0:54:10 > 0:54:12which in turn would entitle the department to

0:54:12 > 0:54:14- an increase in funding. - And it doesn't?

0:54:14 > 0:54:17Seems the funding council don't class dogs as detectives.

0:54:17 > 0:54:18Sorry, fella.

0:54:20 > 0:54:23Ah, it's not going to be the same without you, boy.

0:54:25 > 0:54:26You OK to finish up here, JP?

0:54:26 > 0:54:29Sure. Everything OK?

0:54:29 > 0:54:31No, but I hope it will be.

0:54:57 > 0:54:59Darlene, you need an apology.

0:55:01 > 0:55:02I need to apologise.

0:55:04 > 0:55:06OK, look.

0:55:06 > 0:55:09I was playing it cool, which was a big mistake.

0:55:09 > 0:55:13So I'd like another chance to make it right before things get

0:55:13 > 0:55:14too serious between you and Gerald!

0:55:16 > 0:55:17Well?

0:55:17 > 0:55:19How about it?

0:55:19 > 0:55:21The relationship between me and Gerald is already

0:55:21 > 0:55:23very well established.

0:55:26 > 0:55:28- He's my brother. - What? You led me to believe that...

0:55:28 > 0:55:31To teach you a lesson, Dwayne Myers.

0:55:31 > 0:55:33You see, I don't do cool. I do grown-up.

0:55:36 > 0:55:38So, apology accepted.

0:55:41 > 0:55:43One more chance.

0:55:43 > 0:55:47You step out of line, you're out on your backside.

0:55:47 > 0:55:49Got it?

0:55:49 > 0:55:50Got it.

0:56:01 > 0:56:02Yeah, I found it in the For Sale section

0:56:02 > 0:56:05at the back of the Saint Marie Times.

0:56:05 > 0:56:07It's a bit dusty, I think its best days are behind it.

0:56:07 > 0:56:10But the turntable turns and the speakers speak,

0:56:10 > 0:56:12and the fella selling it threw in a few records as well.

0:56:12 > 0:56:15Hmm, yes, I can tell, sir. There's some great ones here.

0:56:15 > 0:56:17Your choice, JP. Bung one on there.

0:56:20 > 0:56:22Well, you were right.

0:56:22 > 0:56:24A home's not a home until you've made it your own.

0:56:24 > 0:56:27- So thanks for the advice. - Any time, sir.

0:56:27 > 0:56:30MUSIC: Come Down by Lord Tanamo

0:56:30 > 0:56:31Good call, JP.

0:56:32 > 0:56:35I'd like to make a toast, to the simple things in life -

0:56:35 > 0:56:38- good music, good friends. - Mmm. Yes.

0:56:38 > 0:56:40So, fancy a dance?

0:56:40 > 0:56:43Not in the slightest, Florence. We've got this lovely view,

0:56:43 > 0:56:45cold beers in our hands.

0:56:45 > 0:56:48Why spoil it all with unnecessary physical activity?

0:56:48 > 0:56:49Whatever you say, sir.

0:57:05 > 0:57:07- Who is this Baron fellah?- He's the master of the dead during

0:57:07 > 0:57:10- Fete Mouri. - Can we help you at all?

0:57:10 > 0:57:12It's my wife, something's happened to her.

0:57:12 > 0:57:14Everything OK? You look haunted.

0:57:14 > 0:57:16It's Darlene. She's got her niece staying with her

0:57:16 > 0:57:18- for the whole week.- I imagine you might prefer something

0:57:18 > 0:57:20- a little stronger?- Yes, I think I rather would. Do you mind?

0:57:20 > 0:57:22You make it sound so sordid.

0:57:22 > 0:57:24You're sure this is what you saw?

0:57:24 > 0:57:26He's definitely a bit green around the gills.

0:57:26 > 0:57:29Isn't he supposed to be that colour, being he's a lizard?
