0:00:12 > 0:00:14You can go ahead.

0:00:17 > 0:00:18SHE BOOMS GONG

0:00:23 > 0:00:29Right, let's really open up about our feelings in this session.

0:00:29 > 0:00:31Isn't our time up? I thought I heard the gong.

0:00:31 > 0:00:34We'll happily sit here until you feel ready to open your heart to us.

0:00:36 > 0:00:40- Won't we, Bryn?- Yeah, before I came here, life was a struggle.

0:00:40 > 0:00:45But now I know you're never going to find self-acceptance

0:00:45 > 0:00:47unless you face your feelings.

0:00:47 > 0:00:51Makes me feel like everything's broken.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54And no matter how hard I try,

0:00:54 > 0:00:56I'll never be able to fix it.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58Thank you for your courage, Gabe.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00Come on, let's go eat.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11I hope it tastes better than it looks.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13I'm sure it's delicious, Eva.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16Well, back home, it's usually takeaways

0:01:16 > 0:01:21followed by too many glasses of Pinot Grigio.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25I don't suppose there's any alcohol in that green tea, is there?

0:01:25 > 0:01:30What could be more important than the food we put into our bodies?

0:01:30 > 0:01:34If your life is so hectic, there isn't time to cook a healthy meal,

0:01:34 > 0:01:36then you must change your life.

0:01:53 > 0:01:57So, this afternoon, I want to focus on the healing power of the breath.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Enjoy your swim, my love.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Enjoy your meditation!

0:02:03 > 0:02:07So, let's begin in the usual way,

0:02:07 > 0:02:09by closing our eyes

0:02:09 > 0:02:13and taking a few deep breaths.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31And you can slowly...

0:02:33 > 0:02:35..open your eyes.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43Gabe, would you'd care to join me

0:02:43 > 0:02:46in making a small offering in the Contemplation Garden?

0:02:49 > 0:02:53So if we can achieve one thing for you during your time here, Gabe -

0:02:53 > 0:02:56- what would it be? - Peace of mind, I suppose.

0:02:56 > 0:02:57Same as everyone.

0:02:57 > 0:03:00I don't know that it is the same for everyone.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02People come here for all sorts of different...

0:03:02 > 0:03:04- Daniel?- Wait here.

0:03:12 > 0:03:13He's dead.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48Tonight, we celebrate a man

0:03:48 > 0:03:51who quite literally needs no introduction.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55However, I've got the job of giving him one.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58What can you say about Commissioner Selwyn Patterson?

0:03:58 > 0:04:02That's not a rhetorical question, Harry.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04I need some help here.

0:04:04 > 0:04:08Selwyn Patterson is...inscrutable.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10A hard taskmaster.

0:04:10 > 0:04:11- Doesn't suffer fools. - HE GROANS

0:04:11 > 0:04:14I'm supposed to be bigging the man up here.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18- Sir?- Oh, perfect timing, Florence. Just the person I need.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21This speech I've got to make for the commissioner's award.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23- What about it? - Well, it's driving me mad.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25In two days' time, I've got to stand up

0:04:25 > 0:04:27in front of the great and good of Saint Marie

0:04:27 > 0:04:29and say what a special man the Commissioner is.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31I don't have a notion where to start.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33I mean how, how am I supposed to make a speech

0:04:33 > 0:04:36- about someone I hardly know? - I don't know, sir. I'm sorry.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38I'm just going to have to clear the decks

0:04:38 > 0:04:41and spend every minute of the next two days working on it.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43- Sir, someone's been found dead... - Oh...

0:04:43 > 0:04:46..at a place called the Calming Breath Spiritual Retreat.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48It's up on the north shore.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50To the north shore we must go, then.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57I heard it's been here for three years.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00So, what exactly happens at a "spiritual retreat"?

0:05:00 > 0:05:03According to their website, it's a chance

0:05:03 > 0:05:06to reenergise your mind, body and spirit holistically.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09Sounds exhausting, so how much will that set you back?

0:05:09 > 0:05:112,000 a week.

0:05:11 > 0:05:122,000?

0:05:12 > 0:05:15What, to have some hippy fella walking all over your back

0:05:15 > 0:05:17and sticking pins in your face? Really?!

0:05:19 > 0:05:21To be fair, getting rid of the gadgets,

0:05:21 > 0:05:23I can definitely see the appeal of that.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28Our victim is a Daniel Friend.

0:05:28 > 0:05:3135 years old, British.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34He owns this place with his wife Cressida.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Yeah, and she's the one who found the body...- Poor woman.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40Was she on her own when she came across him?

0:05:40 > 0:05:43Ah, no, she was with one of the other guests.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46They were on their way to something called the Contemplation Garden.

0:05:46 > 0:05:50- A Contemplation Garden? - I know. I did ask, Chief.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53But, if I'm honest, I didn't really understand the answer.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59Ligature marks on the neck.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02In a band about an inch and a half wide.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04Cause of death, strangulation.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09No defence wounds or any other signs of injury.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12You would expect a fella this size to put up some sort of a fight.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15Maybe the attacker surprised him from behind?

0:06:15 > 0:06:16Possibly.

0:06:19 > 0:06:23His belt. It's the exact same width as the marks on his neck.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25But I assume he wasn't killed with his own belt,

0:06:25 > 0:06:27what with him wearing it and all.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29HE SIGHS

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Dwayne, if you're done here,

0:06:31 > 0:06:33- we can release the body. - Yes, Chief!

0:06:33 > 0:06:37- Did you find anything on his person? - Er, nothing, sir. But...

0:06:38 > 0:06:41..I found this towel on the ground

0:06:41 > 0:06:43a few feet from where the victim was lying.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45I assume he dropped it when he was being attacked.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47So, what? He was on his way for a swim?

0:06:47 > 0:06:50Maybe there's a pool somewhere in the Contemplation Garden?

0:06:52 > 0:06:55Chief! A key. I found it under the body.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59For a locker or a padlock or something.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02We should dust it for prints.

0:07:02 > 0:07:06If it was underneath the victim, then it either belongs to him...

0:07:06 > 0:07:08Or to the killer.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10Huh. You would think.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13Dwayne. JP. Why don't you finish processing the scene.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16- We should have a quick word with the witnesses.- Chief.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20So, when was the last time you all saw Mr Friend alive?

0:07:20 > 0:07:24It was about half past two. We'd just finished lunch.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27Daniel headed off for his swim as usual.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30"As usual"? It was a regular thing?

0:07:30 > 0:07:32Every day. Same time.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35Daniel said a dip in the sea was the best form of therapy he knew.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38You have to go through the Contemplation Garden

0:07:38 > 0:07:39- to get to the beach?- No, no.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42You literally have to go in another direction.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44So, why was he heading for the garden then?

0:07:44 > 0:07:47I don't know. It's not like him. Daniel relished routine.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50And when Daniel left, what were the rest of you doing?

0:07:50 > 0:07:52We were all together.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56Cressida was running a meditation circle.

0:07:58 > 0:08:02A meditation circle? Does that mean you all had your eyes closed?

0:08:02 > 0:08:03ALL: Yes.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05How long did that last?

0:08:05 > 0:08:07About 30 minutes.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09- And, afterwards, when you were done? - WINDCHIME TINKLES

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Gabe and I headed for a walk.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17That's when we found him.

0:08:17 > 0:08:18Daniel!

0:08:18 > 0:08:19Wait here.

0:08:22 > 0:08:23He was just lying there.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25I checked for vital signs.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28First we heard about it is when they came back and told us.

0:08:30 > 0:08:31And then Gabe went to get his phone,

0:08:31 > 0:08:33and then that's when we called your lot.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35HE TAKES A DEEP BREATH

0:08:35 > 0:08:38Now, can any of you think of a reason

0:08:38 > 0:08:41why someone might want to murder Mr Friend?

0:08:41 > 0:08:45Well, I mean I only met the man yesterday. So, I hardly knew him.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47Same. I got here a few days ago,

0:08:47 > 0:08:50but he didn't seem like the kind of person to have enemies.

0:08:50 > 0:08:51And what about outside the retreat?

0:08:51 > 0:08:54Was there anyone on the island who he'd fallen out with?

0:08:54 > 0:08:56He didn't really know anyone on the island.

0:08:56 > 0:08:57I see.

0:08:59 > 0:09:03So, that means the only people on Saint Marie

0:09:03 > 0:09:05that Daniel actually knew -

0:09:05 > 0:09:06were you four.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12Yes, but, I mean, you don't think it was one of us

0:09:12 > 0:09:16because we were all out there on the lawn when it happened.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18Forgive me, it's just, well...

0:09:20 > 0:09:22The thing is, we think whoever strangled Daniel

0:09:22 > 0:09:26might have used one of those belts you're all wearing to do it.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29And what with this being such an isolated spot

0:09:29 > 0:09:32and as you said, Cressida, Daniel keeping himself to himself.

0:09:32 > 0:09:36Well, when you put all that together - I can't help thinking

0:09:36 > 0:09:39that our killer is someone within the retreat.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51This one! It's missing a belt.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54It was there this morning.

0:09:54 > 0:09:55Are you sure?

0:09:55 > 0:09:57I was doing the laundry. They were all here. I'm sure of it.

0:09:57 > 0:10:01So you and your guests are the only ones who have access to this room?

0:10:01 > 0:10:04Florence, tell Dwayne and JP to search the retreat.

0:10:04 > 0:10:05High up and low down.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08Let's see if we can find our missing belt.

0:10:25 > 0:10:272.20 this afternoon,

0:10:27 > 0:10:30Daniel Friend tucked his towel under his arm

0:10:30 > 0:10:32and set off for his daily swim.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35But, instead, of going to the beach as he normally would...

0:10:35 > 0:10:36..and for reasons we don't yet know...

0:10:36 > 0:10:40..he decided to head to the retreat's Contemplation Garden.

0:10:40 > 0:10:41Here.

0:10:41 > 0:10:45However, his journey was cut short when he was accosted -

0:10:45 > 0:10:48we think by one of the other residents - and strangled to death.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50Just...here.

0:10:51 > 0:10:52So, what do we have on our victim?

0:10:52 > 0:10:55I haven't been able to dig up that much so far.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58The retreat only has a basic website

0:10:58 > 0:11:01and he seems to have no presence on social media.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03Seems technology was an anathema to Mr Friend.

0:11:03 > 0:11:07Now the only four people, as far as we're aware,

0:11:07 > 0:11:10who knew Daniel are the three paying guests and, of course, his wife.

0:11:10 > 0:11:11Cressida Friend.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14A qualified yoga teacher.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17Their business accounts show they opened the retreat

0:11:17 > 0:11:20- using money from her trust fund. - Trust fund?

0:11:20 > 0:11:22Apparently, her family are big landowners in Dorset.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25Oh, well, in that case we should do a full financial check.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28As an old mucker of mine at the Met used to say,

0:11:28 > 0:11:30- "Where there's money, there's motive."- What's a mucker?

0:11:30 > 0:11:33Oh, it's just a friend, Florence. Like you and me.

0:11:33 > 0:11:34We're a couple of muckers.

0:11:34 > 0:11:35Hmm. Muckers? OK!

0:11:38 > 0:11:41Gabriel Lee. 26. Junior doctor,

0:11:41 > 0:11:45currently taking a year-long sabbatical from Bristol General.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47- Do we know why?- Not yet.

0:11:47 > 0:11:51But I've got details for his consultant. I'll get in touch.

0:11:51 > 0:11:52Right. So, who's next?

0:11:52 > 0:11:55Erm, Eva Ingram.

0:11:55 > 0:11:58Single. A successful entrepreneur

0:11:58 > 0:12:01who runs her own business importing wine.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04She owns a number of shops around the UK.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06And she arrived on the island only yesterday?

0:12:06 > 0:12:08Claims she'd never met Daniel before.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11We need to confirm that for ourselves.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14And, finally, Bryn Williams. 51.

0:12:14 > 0:12:18Lives in London, but originally from, um...

0:12:18 > 0:12:21"Pwel" - "Pwill" - "Pywell", I'm sorry, how do you say that?

0:12:21 > 0:12:23I've no idea. I'm Irish.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25- Let's just say "Wales". - SHE CHUCKLES

0:12:25 > 0:12:27So, what do we have on Bryn?

0:12:27 > 0:12:29Hmm, so far, not much.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32His Facebook page states his profession as a Maths teacher.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35But I'm struggling to find evidence of that.

0:12:36 > 0:12:38There are two significant questions

0:12:38 > 0:12:41that lie at the heart of this case, Florence.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43The first - if our victim went to the beach for a swim

0:12:43 > 0:12:45at the same time every day...

0:12:45 > 0:12:47Daniel headed off for his swim as usual.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50..then who or what made him change his mind today?

0:12:50 > 0:12:53And the second - if our killer is one of these four people

0:12:53 > 0:12:58who were sitting in this meditation circle...

0:13:02 > 0:13:07..then how did one of them slip out unnoticed and commit murder?

0:13:15 > 0:13:19JP, you find anything yet?

0:13:20 > 0:13:21JP?

0:13:25 > 0:13:26JP?

0:13:31 > 0:13:34Ohhhh!

0:13:34 > 0:13:36Why don't you make yourself at home, JP?

0:13:36 > 0:13:38Put your feet up.

0:13:38 > 0:13:42And why don't I make you a nice cold planters while I'm at it?!

0:13:42 > 0:13:45I'm sorry, Dwayne. It's just I started flicking through this book

0:13:45 > 0:13:48- and I just couldn't put it down. - Oh!- It's really fascinating!

0:13:48 > 0:13:49HE GRUNTS

0:13:51 > 0:13:52Believe by Daniel Friend.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54Hey.

0:13:54 > 0:13:55The victim wrote it?

0:13:55 > 0:13:58Yes, he's got a whole box of them. I think it's for the guests to buy.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02"Using the power of positive thinking

0:14:02 > 0:14:06"to access your life's goals"?

0:14:06 > 0:14:07Oh, come on!

0:14:07 > 0:14:09Er, Dwayne, basically,

0:14:09 > 0:14:12it says that if there's something you want in life,

0:14:12 > 0:14:14and you project it in your mind.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17You can actually make it happen!

0:14:17 > 0:14:18- Oh, really?- Mmm.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20Well, let's put it to the test.

0:14:22 > 0:14:25I'm projecting, in my mind,

0:14:25 > 0:14:29that JP will get up off of his backside and start doing some work.

0:14:29 > 0:14:32HE SIGHS

0:14:33 > 0:14:34Amazing.

0:14:34 > 0:14:35It worked.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38- Very funny, Dwayne. - Never mind all that!

0:14:38 > 0:14:41How did you get on here? Any sign of the belt?

0:14:41 > 0:14:45Well, I found a whole load of Daniel's papers and journals,

0:14:45 > 0:14:47and I boxed them up, but no belt. You?

0:14:47 > 0:14:49Diddly squat.

0:14:49 > 0:14:52We'd better get back to the station and update the chief, you know? Uh!

0:14:53 > 0:14:54Positive thinking...!

0:15:03 > 0:15:05I'm sorry, Chief.

0:15:05 > 0:15:09We searched inside, outside, upstairs and downstairs.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11It has to be there.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13If our killer is...

0:15:13 > 0:15:18Well, then, how, when and where did they manage to dispose of the belt

0:15:18 > 0:15:20when none of them left the retreat after the murder?

0:15:20 > 0:15:22It doesn't make any sense.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24OK, let's call it a day.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26- Crack on anew in the morning. - Chief.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29Have you got something there, Florence?

0:15:29 > 0:15:32Sir, it's from the items JP found in Daniel's room.

0:15:32 > 0:15:33It's a notebook.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35Shorthand.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38- We should see if we can get it deciphered.- Will do.

0:15:39 > 0:15:42Ah, sarge? We're going for a quick drink to Catherine's bar.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45- Fancy joining us?- No, I might stay and make a couple of calls.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47- Chief?- Oh, I'd love to, Dwayne.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49But this speech is not going to write itself.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51The commissioner's award is in two days.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53OK, well, a small rum might be just what you need

0:15:53 > 0:15:57to get your creative juices flowing, ah? Hm?

0:15:57 > 0:16:01Maybe you're right, Dwayne. Maybe that's exactly what I need, yeah!

0:16:01 > 0:16:02Just a small one, then.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05Absolutely, Chief. Just a small one.

0:16:05 > 0:16:06Or two! Or three...

0:16:20 > 0:16:22GROANING

0:16:22 > 0:16:24Morning, sir!

0:16:24 > 0:16:26You look terrible. Have you slept?

0:16:26 > 0:16:30Yeah! I think I might've nodded off for about five minutes around four.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33Four? You haven't been working on your speech all night?

0:16:33 > 0:16:36It got to the point where words ceased to have any meaning.

0:16:36 > 0:16:38They were just dancing in front of my eyes.

0:16:38 > 0:16:40But then, just before you arrived, a breakthrough!

0:16:40 > 0:16:42- Really?- I decided to seek professional help.

0:16:42 > 0:16:45This guy! He's written biographies about everyone

0:16:45 > 0:16:46from Churchill to George Best.

0:16:46 > 0:16:49He says the key to writing about someone

0:16:49 > 0:16:51is to know your subject inside out.

0:16:51 > 0:16:52Get to know them intimately.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54And how are you going to do that?

0:16:54 > 0:16:57I'm going to invite the commissioner to spend some quality time with me.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59Anyway, we've got more pressing issues.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02- How did you get on last night? - I paid my cousin a visit.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04He's a clerk at Honore Town Court.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06And did he manage to translate Daniel's scribblings?

0:17:06 > 0:17:10Well, first off, I don't think this was written by Daniel Friend.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13It's mainly about him and it's written in the third person.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15So, someone was keeping a journal ABOUT Daniel?

0:17:15 > 0:17:18It's all about their stay as a guest at the retreat

0:17:18 > 0:17:20and it's very critical of him.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Is there any way of working out who the author might be?

0:17:22 > 0:17:26All the guests are mentioned in it, except for one.

0:17:28 > 0:17:29Bryn Williams.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33Bryn Williams.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41Yesterday, you said that Bryn's social media

0:17:41 > 0:17:44- maintained he was a maths teacher... - DEODORANT SPRAYS

0:17:44 > 0:17:46..but you didn't find any evidence of that?

0:17:46 > 0:17:48No, nothing.

0:17:48 > 0:17:49I wonder...

0:17:51 > 0:17:53Very few jobs left that call for shorthand.

0:17:55 > 0:17:57But the one trade that still uses it...

0:17:57 > 0:17:59is journalism.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Nothing.

0:18:05 > 0:18:06"William Bryn" maybe?

0:18:11 > 0:18:12His pseudonym!

0:18:14 > 0:18:17Will you drive? I'm going to make a call

0:18:17 > 0:18:19to an old press officer friend of mine back in London.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22See if I can't find a number for Mr Williams' editor.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34- That's got nothing to do with what happened with Daniel.- No?

0:18:34 > 0:18:36Because, from where I'm standing,

0:18:36 > 0:18:39this gives you a pretty strong motive for murder.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42- Oh, you're joking, right? - Not in the slightest.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44How about you start by explaining why your notebook

0:18:44 > 0:18:47- was in Daniel's possession. - Was he on to you?

0:18:50 > 0:18:53I don't know how, but he sussed that I was onto something, yeah.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55Like ourselves, he "sussed" that you weren't

0:18:55 > 0:18:58the common-or-garden maths teacher you claimed to be?

0:18:58 > 0:19:01- He worked out that I was writing an expose.- And he confronted you?

0:19:01 > 0:19:03You know, for a man who spent his time

0:19:03 > 0:19:06banging on about inner peace, he didn't half get angry.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09- And what did he say?- He told me to get on the next flight home ASAP.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11- When did this happen? - Couple of days ago.

0:19:11 > 0:19:15- So, how come you're still here? - We came to an arrangement.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18I offered to write a complimentary article about the place.

0:19:18 > 0:19:19Right, yes...

0:19:19 > 0:19:23And why didn't you inform your editor about this?

0:19:23 > 0:19:25- I just spoke with him. Half an hour ago.- Really?- Yeah.

0:19:25 > 0:19:28He had no idea Daniel was on to you. But he did have some

0:19:28 > 0:19:30very interesting information to pass on about you.

0:19:30 > 0:19:32Like how things aren't going too well

0:19:32 > 0:19:34in your personal life at the moment.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36Halfway through a divorce.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38About to lose custody of your children.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40And your work was suffering as a result.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43According to him - this undercover gig here at the retreat,

0:19:43 > 0:19:45is pretty much last chance saloon.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47So, Daniel Friend blowing your cover and sending you packing -

0:19:47 > 0:19:49I imagine that's the last thing you need.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52I can see how this might look.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55It looks, Bryn - despite your protestations -

0:19:55 > 0:19:58that you benefit from Daniel Friend's death. Big time.

0:20:01 > 0:20:03The man's clearly desperate, Florence.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06But is he desperate enough to commit murder?

0:20:06 > 0:20:08- Morning, Cressida.- Morning.

0:20:08 > 0:20:11Wow! They're really, really...

0:20:11 > 0:20:13What are they exactly?

0:20:13 > 0:20:15We call them emotional expression sculptures.

0:20:15 > 0:20:19They're from an art therapy class I ran with Bryn and Gabe yesterday.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21"Emotional expression sculptures"?

0:20:23 > 0:20:26I thought I'd put them out in the sun so they can dry quicker.

0:20:26 > 0:20:27Anything to keep busy.

0:20:29 > 0:20:30Inspector?

0:20:31 > 0:20:35The day before yesterday, I happened to see Gabe with Daniel and...

0:20:35 > 0:20:39it looked like Gabe was pretty livid at him.

0:20:39 > 0:20:43Gabe was pointing and jabbing Daniel in the chest.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46- What time was this? - Er, about 10.30 in the morning.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48- Did you hear any of what was said? - No, but...

0:20:48 > 0:20:51The thing is, Gabe then walked out of the retreat

0:20:51 > 0:20:54and we didn't see him again until yesterday morning.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56He just disappeared for 24 hours.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59And did you ask Daniel about this?

0:20:59 > 0:21:01He said it was nothing to worry about.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04But you think there was something to it? Some issue between them?

0:21:04 > 0:21:08All I know is he still had a lot of anger in him when he made this.

0:21:25 > 0:21:28I'll chase the consultant at the hospital Gabe works at.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30Yeah, let's see how Dwayne and JP

0:21:30 > 0:21:33are getting on with his phone records and financial checks.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36Anything that might tell us where Gabe went

0:21:36 > 0:21:38during that missing 24 hours.

0:21:38 > 0:21:40Commissioner!

0:21:40 > 0:21:43What an unexpected pleasure!

0:21:43 > 0:21:46I wondered if you might have five minutes for a chat, Inspector?

0:21:46 > 0:21:49For you, sir, I've got the whole day.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51Excuse me, gentlemen.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06As I'm sure you can imagine,

0:22:06 > 0:22:10receiving the island's Special Award tomorrow night

0:22:10 > 0:22:12- is a great honour for me. - Course.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15- I'm not, by nature, a sentimental man.- No.

0:22:15 > 0:22:19And yet I must admit I am deeply moved by this acknowledgement.

0:22:19 > 0:22:20I can only imagine.

0:22:20 > 0:22:26So, you can see why I would hate to see the evening marred in any way.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28Well, it goes without saying, sir.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30Mayor Bordey tells me

0:22:30 > 0:22:33you are giving the speech before the award is presented so...

0:22:33 > 0:22:36That's right. Yes. And don't you worry.

0:22:36 > 0:22:37It's coming along a treat.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40I've got some lovely material already.

0:22:41 > 0:22:42Although...

0:22:42 > 0:22:45Why is there an "although"?

0:22:45 > 0:22:49Well, I just have the tiniest concern that parts of it

0:22:49 > 0:22:51are a bit, well, general.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53And I couldn't help feeling that

0:22:53 > 0:22:55if you and I could sit down,

0:22:55 > 0:22:58have a drink, at Catherine's bar, say...?

0:23:03 > 0:23:06It's on. Me and the commissioner.

0:23:06 > 0:23:087pm. Catherine's bar.

0:23:08 > 0:23:09- Really?- Yeah!

0:23:09 > 0:23:12Couple of rums, some gentle encouragement

0:23:12 > 0:23:13and he'll be regaling me with anecdotes.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15I'll have him singing like a bird.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17QUIETLY: He asked the commissioner for a drink?!

0:23:17 > 0:23:19PHONE RINGS Excuse me.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21So, what's the story?

0:23:21 > 0:23:25- JP, is that a postmortem I see before me?- Yes, it is.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28And it confirms Daniel Friend died due to asphyxiation.

0:23:28 > 0:23:30Also, the fibres found around the victim's neck

0:23:30 > 0:23:34are the same kind of fabric used to make the robe belts at the retreat.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37Except we still have no idea how the murderer

0:23:37 > 0:23:38managed to get rid of the belt,

0:23:38 > 0:23:40- when not one of them left the retreat.- Oh!

0:23:40 > 0:23:43- Also, I dusted the key as requested. - And?

0:23:43 > 0:23:46There's only one set of prints on them and they're Daniel's.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49If we could only figure out what exactly it unlocks.

0:23:49 > 0:23:51There's a locksmith in town, isn't there?

0:23:51 > 0:23:53Er, yes, Dread Locks.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55Why don't you pop down as soon as you get a chance

0:23:55 > 0:23:57- and see if he can give us a steer. - OK.

0:23:57 > 0:24:01- Sir?- Yes, Florence?- I've had an e-mail back from Bristol General.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04Gabe took his sabbatical after his twin sister, Ruth,

0:24:04 > 0:24:06died six months ago.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09Apparently, he was finding it hard to get over her death.

0:24:09 > 0:24:12- She took her own life. - Whoo! What a terrible thing.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15And here's a link to a website Gabe set up in her memory.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18Poor girl. And so young.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20Makes sense of what he was doing at the retreat.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22Trying to deal with his grief, I suppose.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24..Yes, see you, then.

0:24:24 > 0:24:27Chief, I've got something for you.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29So, I checked Gabe's phone records like you suggested

0:24:29 > 0:24:31and the only phone call he made on the morning

0:24:31 > 0:24:34he went off the radar was to one of the local taxi firms.

0:24:34 > 0:24:37Apparently, he wanted to be dropped off at the nearest bar.

0:24:37 > 0:24:38- Which is?- The Blue Parrot.

0:24:38 > 0:24:41You want us to go over there and see if we can find out anything, Chief?

0:24:41 > 0:24:43It's like you can read my mind!

0:24:43 > 0:24:45Impossible!

0:24:45 > 0:24:46JP!

0:24:46 > 0:24:47Let's go!

0:24:49 > 0:24:51Oh, yes, of course!

0:24:51 > 0:24:54Little Michael who runs the place just got three months for theft.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56Oy, oy, oy, oy, oy, oy, oy!

0:24:56 > 0:24:59His brother Tino must be running it.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02And nothing keeps Tino away from his cricket.

0:25:02 > 0:25:03OK, so let's go and find him, then.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

0:25:05 > 0:25:08He could be anywhere on the island.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11His sister's place. His brother's. Either of his girlfriends'.

0:25:11 > 0:25:15OK, Well, I guess we just wait here

0:25:15 > 0:25:18until Tino turns up.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24You know, I was reading a little bit more

0:25:24 > 0:25:26of this book last night, Dwayne. Positive thinking.

0:25:26 > 0:25:30And it says if things aren't exactly working out the way you want,

0:25:30 > 0:25:34there are these visualisation exercises you can use.

0:25:34 > 0:25:37And how the hell is that going to be of any use to us now?

0:25:37 > 0:25:39Well, what we want is for Tino to turn up

0:25:39 > 0:25:42- so we can ask him some questions. - Uh-huh.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45So, if I close my eyes

0:25:45 > 0:25:48and I picture the path ahead

0:25:48 > 0:25:52and I visualise Tino walking around the bend.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54OK. Yes.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56Yeah, OK. so now I've visualised it,

0:25:56 > 0:25:59what I've willed to happen should actually happen.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01Oh!

0:26:02 > 0:26:04OK!

0:26:13 > 0:26:15Maybe you should try another book.

0:26:15 > 0:26:18Yeah, I probably need to do, you know, a bit more practice on it.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20That's an understatement.

0:26:23 > 0:26:24No way.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26Is that Tino?

0:26:26 > 0:26:29- That's him! The Rasta! - Oh, my...! It actually worked!

0:26:29 > 0:26:32- JP LAUGHS - You just have to believe!

0:26:32 > 0:26:38Sir, have you ever heard of a thing called "confrontation therapy"?

0:26:38 > 0:26:40Yeah, a colleague of mine tried it after a tough case. Why?

0:26:40 > 0:26:43Well, I've been looking at the retreat's schedule

0:26:43 > 0:26:45and at 9am the morning Gabe disappeared,

0:26:45 > 0:26:48he was booked in for a one-to-one therapy session with Daniel.

0:26:48 > 0:26:51Which would've been just before Cressida saw them arguing?

0:26:51 > 0:26:54So, what does confrontation therapy involve?

0:26:54 > 0:26:55Well, as far as I can tell,

0:26:55 > 0:26:59it's about taking responsibility for your problems.

0:26:59 > 0:27:01It's pretty extreme. A lot of shrinks reckon it's dangerous.

0:27:01 > 0:27:05Especially if the subject is trying to deal with a significant trauma.

0:27:05 > 0:27:07Like the death of a sister?

0:27:07 > 0:27:09Like the death of a twin sister, yeah.

0:27:09 > 0:27:12OK, Chief, we just spoke to the barman

0:27:12 > 0:27:14who was there on the day Gabe Lee turned up.

0:27:14 > 0:27:16- A guy called Tino. - And what did Tino have to say?

0:27:16 > 0:27:19That Gabe was clearly very angry when he arrived at the bar.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21And the more he drank, the angrier he got.

0:27:21 > 0:27:24Apparently, he spent the whole time telling Tino

0:27:24 > 0:27:26exactly how much he hated Daniel Friend.

0:27:26 > 0:27:29And get this! Gabe's very last words before he left the bar was...

0:27:29 > 0:27:31"Daniel Friend's got it coming."

0:27:37 > 0:27:39What are you planting?

0:27:39 > 0:27:41Celery or...

0:27:41 > 0:27:42peas?

0:27:44 > 0:27:46Sorry to hear about your sister.

0:27:48 > 0:27:50Why? You didn't know her.

0:27:52 > 0:27:55Well, I know how complicated grief can be.

0:27:55 > 0:27:57It's not just the pain.

0:27:58 > 0:28:00It's the anger and regret...

0:28:02 > 0:28:04..and the guilt.

0:28:06 > 0:28:08She'd split up with her boyfriend.

0:28:08 > 0:28:11They'd been together a couple of years

0:28:11 > 0:28:13and he really messed her around.

0:28:13 > 0:28:16She kept telling me she was fine.

0:28:16 > 0:28:17But she wasn't.

0:28:19 > 0:28:21And I should've seen that. That's what I regret.

0:28:23 > 0:28:24Coming here - has it helped?

0:28:24 > 0:28:28I understand you were having therapy sessions with Daniel.

0:28:28 > 0:28:30Confrontation therapy.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34Daniel kept talking about taking responsibility -

0:28:34 > 0:28:37how we can't move on unless we do.

0:28:37 > 0:28:40It felt like he was telling me it was my fault

0:28:40 > 0:28:42my sister killed herself.

0:28:43 > 0:28:46And this is what prompted your argument with Daniel.

0:28:46 > 0:28:48It's not my fault. It's yours!

0:28:48 > 0:28:52Just before you left the retreat and headed for the

0:28:52 > 0:28:53Blue Parrot?

0:28:55 > 0:28:59I knew... if I'd stayed that I'd...

0:28:59 > 0:29:01- What? Hit him?- Yes.- Or worse?

0:29:01 > 0:29:03No! No!

0:29:03 > 0:29:06I left so I could get him out of my sight. So, I could calm down.

0:29:06 > 0:29:09Yeah, but you didn't calm down, did you, Gabe?

0:29:09 > 0:29:12Tino at the Blue Parrot told us that hours after the argument,

0:29:12 > 0:29:14you were still ranting and raving angry towards Daniel.

0:29:14 > 0:29:18But I didn't kill him. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't have.

0:29:18 > 0:29:22I was sitting in that meditation circle with everyone else, wasn't I?

0:29:25 > 0:29:28Gabe's right, Florence. We've got four suspects.

0:29:28 > 0:29:30Each of them has an alibi -

0:29:30 > 0:29:32the same alibi for the time the murder was committed.

0:29:32 > 0:29:35They were all sat together in a meditation circle

0:29:35 > 0:29:36- inside the retreat. - Exactly.

0:29:36 > 0:29:38So, just how did one of them do it?

0:29:38 > 0:29:41Sir, I just come back from the locksmith

0:29:41 > 0:29:44and he said this type of key would fit some sort of cash-box.

0:29:44 > 0:29:46- A cash-box?- Hmm.

0:29:46 > 0:29:47Well, you searched the retreat.

0:29:47 > 0:29:50- Did you spot anything like that? - I'm afraid not, sir.- Great.

0:29:50 > 0:29:52So as well as the belt that was used to kill the victim,

0:29:52 > 0:29:55we now have a cashbox - two items that have gone missing.

0:29:55 > 0:29:57Chief, I've finished going through all the phone records

0:29:57 > 0:29:59and the e-mail correspondence from the retreat.

0:29:59 > 0:30:02- Anything of interest? - Just one thing.

0:30:02 > 0:30:04Two months ago, someone from the retreat

0:30:04 > 0:30:05called the emergency services.

0:30:05 > 0:30:06Now, it wasn't for us,

0:30:06 > 0:30:10so that means it was either for the fire brigade or an ambulance.

0:30:10 > 0:30:12- Do we know which? - I'm waiting for a return call.

0:30:12 > 0:30:15- OK. Well, let's see what turns up there.- Yes, Chief.

0:30:16 > 0:30:18So, how're we getting on sorting through Daniel's paperwork?

0:30:18 > 0:30:20Ah, we've gone through the first box

0:30:20 > 0:30:22which has all his papers since he moved here.

0:30:22 > 0:30:25Nothing before that. Haven't started on the second box yet.

0:30:25 > 0:30:28Well, I guess that's my homework for tonight, then.

0:30:28 > 0:30:31Oh, sir, don't forget your drink with the commissioner.

0:30:31 > 0:30:33Sort the speech out first. And then I'll get stuck into that lot.

0:30:37 > 0:30:39I'm just trying to get a sense of you

0:30:39 > 0:30:41as a...civilian, as well as a commissioner.

0:30:41 > 0:30:44What you look like when you take off your uniform.

0:30:44 > 0:30:45Excuse me?

0:30:46 > 0:30:48Could've put that better.

0:30:48 > 0:30:51Erm, no, I just want to get a feel for the real Selwyn Patterson.

0:30:51 > 0:30:54- I mean, I don't even know if you're married?- Why would you?

0:30:57 > 0:30:59Well, why don't you take me back to where it all began?

0:30:59 > 0:31:02- Were you born here on the island? - Yes.

0:31:03 > 0:31:06- And do you have any family nearby or...- No.

0:31:06 > 0:31:11So, what are some of your earliest memories?

0:31:12 > 0:31:14I'm not sure that's relevant.

0:31:14 > 0:31:17You're hardly going to use that in your speech, are you?

0:31:17 > 0:31:19Ah, Catherine!

0:31:19 > 0:31:20Here we are, gentlemen.

0:31:20 > 0:31:22Thank you, Mayor Bordey.

0:31:22 > 0:31:24So, what's the occasion?

0:31:24 > 0:31:27I've been helping the inspector

0:31:27 > 0:31:29put the final touches to his speech for tomorrow night.

0:31:29 > 0:31:31But it's getting late.

0:31:35 > 0:31:37Ah! I hope I've been of use.

0:31:37 > 0:31:39Yes! Very helpful.

0:31:41 > 0:31:43JACK CHUCKLES

0:31:43 > 0:31:44Marvellous!

0:31:44 > 0:31:47I've got nothing. I'll be honest, Catherine.

0:31:47 > 0:31:49I am way out of my comfort zone here - miles!

0:31:50 > 0:31:52HE SIGHS

0:31:52 > 0:31:54When I became mayor,

0:31:54 > 0:31:57I was terrified of speaking in public.

0:31:57 > 0:32:00But I've realised there are only two things to remember.

0:32:00 > 0:32:01And what are they?

0:32:01 > 0:32:04- Number one, keep it short. - And number two?

0:32:04 > 0:32:05- Keep it short.- I can do short.

0:32:05 > 0:32:08How about I just say, "Fair play to you, Commissioner.

0:32:08 > 0:32:11- "You're a great fella, here's your award."- Mm-hm.

0:32:19 > 0:32:21HE SIGHS

0:33:07 > 0:33:10- Ah, that's brilliant, thank you.- No problem.

0:33:14 > 0:33:16Ah, Florence! Good morning.

0:33:16 > 0:33:19- Morning, sir. JP told me you were here.- I am.

0:33:19 > 0:33:21Was that Archie Martindale you were talking to?

0:33:21 > 0:33:24- It was indeed. Do you know him? - Everyone knows Archie.

0:33:24 > 0:33:26He's a legend on the island.

0:33:26 > 0:33:28He must be, what, 83 now?

0:33:28 > 0:33:3184, and he's still driving the ambulance. It's amazing!

0:33:31 > 0:33:33So, what were you talking to him about?

0:33:33 > 0:33:35Ah, yes, sit down. I'll explain.

0:33:35 > 0:33:38Sorry, monsieur, two more coffees, please.

0:33:38 > 0:33:42Right, so last night, I came across these.

0:33:42 > 0:33:44Letters to Cressida, all unopened.

0:33:44 > 0:33:47Daniel must've been keeping them from her.

0:33:47 > 0:33:48They're from her parents.

0:33:51 > 0:33:53From what I can glean,

0:33:53 > 0:33:55Daniel insisted that Cressida cut off all communication

0:33:55 > 0:33:58between friends and family after they got married and moved out here.

0:33:58 > 0:34:00- Really?- For his all Zen-like calm,

0:34:00 > 0:34:03Daniel Friend, it seems, was a very controlling man.

0:34:03 > 0:34:06I've come across people like that before. I know how they operate.

0:34:06 > 0:34:09And then I remembered Dwayne saying that the emergency services

0:34:09 > 0:34:12had been called to the retreat just a couple of months ago.

0:34:12 > 0:34:14You think Daniel might've hurt Cressida?

0:34:14 > 0:34:16- There you go. - It's just a hunch. That's all.

0:34:16 > 0:34:17But I chased the call and yes,

0:34:17 > 0:34:21the ambulance was called to tend to injuries that Cressida had received.

0:34:21 > 0:34:22Thank you.

0:34:22 > 0:34:25- Which is why you were talking to Archie?- Exactly.

0:34:25 > 0:34:28He says that Cressida had treatment for a broken rib.

0:34:28 > 0:34:30Daniel was with her.

0:34:30 > 0:34:33- Did either of them say what had happened?- Yeah.

0:34:33 > 0:34:36They said she fell off a ladder fixing something or other.

0:34:36 > 0:34:38But Archie had doubts?

0:34:38 > 0:34:40He was suspicious.

0:34:40 > 0:34:42Said that Cressida was tearful, on edge,

0:34:42 > 0:34:44but they both stuck to the ladder story.

0:34:44 > 0:34:46Nothing he could do about it.

0:34:46 > 0:34:50So, what? You think maybe Cressida had had enough and fought back?

0:34:50 > 0:34:52She's the one who killed Daniel?

0:34:52 > 0:34:55Well, only she can answer that.

0:35:14 > 0:35:18- This is where he used to swim every day.- Lovely.

0:35:19 > 0:35:21We found these in Daniel's personal effects.

0:35:21 > 0:35:25They're all addressed to you and most of them unopened.

0:35:27 > 0:35:30Daniel was always threatened by Mum and Dad.

0:35:30 > 0:35:32- They were suspicious of him. - Why was that?

0:35:32 > 0:35:34Because of the family trust,

0:35:34 > 0:35:39- they assumed that everyone was on the make.- But Daniel wasn't?- No.

0:35:39 > 0:35:42Daniel wasn't interested in money. He rejected any kind of materialism.

0:35:46 > 0:35:48The retreat, whose idea was it?

0:35:49 > 0:35:50Daniel's.

0:35:50 > 0:35:52Initially.

0:35:52 > 0:35:54But I didn't need much convincing.

0:35:54 > 0:35:56- Did he always get what he wanted? - Two months ago

0:35:56 > 0:35:59you were taken to hospital. A broken rib.

0:36:00 > 0:36:01What happened?

0:36:03 > 0:36:06It was an accident, that's all. I fell off a step ladder.

0:36:06 > 0:36:08Are you absolutely sure about that, Cressida?

0:36:09 > 0:36:11He's not here now.

0:36:11 > 0:36:13He can't hurt you any more.

0:36:15 > 0:36:19It was a row that got out of hand, that's all.

0:36:19 > 0:36:22I wanted to go home to England for my brother's wedding.

0:36:22 > 0:36:24- Daniel didn't want me to go. - So, he hurt you?

0:36:24 > 0:36:26Not on purpose.

0:36:26 > 0:36:28If you'd seen him afterwards,

0:36:28 > 0:36:30he was always so contrite and loving.

0:36:30 > 0:36:33"Always"? So this happened more than once?

0:36:33 > 0:36:37You must have been desperate to get away, to escape.

0:36:37 > 0:36:39I imagine you were prepared to do anything?

0:36:39 > 0:36:43I could've walked away if I wanted to.

0:36:43 > 0:36:45I didn't need to kill him to escape our marriage,

0:36:45 > 0:36:48- if that's what you're insinuating. - Mmm.

0:36:51 > 0:36:54- Ah! Chief! You're back just in time. - What've you got?

0:36:54 > 0:36:57You see, we couldn't find anything on Daniel Friend

0:36:57 > 0:36:59that dated back farther than three years.

0:36:59 > 0:37:02His tax affairs. Bank records. E-mail accounts.

0:37:02 > 0:37:06- Even his current passport were issued three years ago.- Go on...

0:37:06 > 0:37:09Now, me and JP are starting to think that Daniel Friend

0:37:09 > 0:37:11isn't actually Daniel Friend.

0:37:11 > 0:37:14So, who was Daniel Friend before he was Daniel Friend?

0:37:14 > 0:37:15That's what we don't yet know.

0:37:15 > 0:37:18If he did change his name, it wasn't done officially.

0:37:18 > 0:37:22So, our victim had a previous identity.

0:37:24 > 0:37:26I was on a fraud case once, back when I first started.

0:37:26 > 0:37:28Months, we were after this fella.

0:37:28 > 0:37:30He was so slippery, we used to call him "The Eel."

0:37:30 > 0:37:34He kept reinventing himself, new identities, the lot.

0:37:34 > 0:37:36But, finally, he tripped himself up.

0:37:36 > 0:37:39You see, he'd stashed mementoes of his previous life

0:37:39 > 0:37:42under the floorboards. Couldn't quite let go, I suppose.

0:37:42 > 0:37:45But we haven't found anything like that in Daniel's possessions.

0:37:45 > 0:37:46Mmm, not a whiff.

0:37:46 > 0:37:50Yeah, but when we found Daniel, there was a key...

0:37:50 > 0:37:52Chief!

0:37:52 > 0:37:54..for a cashbox which we haven't yet found.

0:37:54 > 0:37:58Now, what if this box contains the remnants of his previous life?

0:38:01 > 0:38:03I think the answer lies somewhere in the ground here.

0:38:03 > 0:38:04Dwayne, do your thing.

0:38:04 > 0:38:08Ah, Chief, there's quite a lot to cover, here, you know?

0:38:08 > 0:38:10Any specific place you want me to start?

0:38:10 > 0:38:12Your guess is as good as mine.

0:38:14 > 0:38:16Maybe we try visualising finding it,

0:38:16 > 0:38:18just like you saw me do earlier.

0:38:18 > 0:38:22But what if I'm not like you? What if I haven't got the gift?

0:38:22 > 0:38:23It's worth a try.

0:38:24 > 0:38:26HE SIGHS

0:38:36 > 0:38:38It was never going to happen, was it?

0:38:38 > 0:38:40METAL-DETECTOR BUZZES

0:38:41 > 0:38:43It worked!

0:38:44 > 0:38:47- Sorry, what just happened there? - No idea!

0:38:54 > 0:38:56You were right, sir.

0:38:56 > 0:38:59Yes, well, let's see if this tells us

0:38:59 > 0:39:01just who Daniel Friend really is.

0:39:11 > 0:39:13Hello, Michael Bennett.

0:39:17 > 0:39:18Yes, uh-huh.

0:39:18 > 0:39:21Unlike Daniel Friend, Michael Bennett has a past.

0:39:21 > 0:39:24And a pretty colourful one, too, by the looks of things.

0:39:24 > 0:39:27A string of failed businesses, investigated for embezzlement.

0:39:27 > 0:39:29Thank you very much. That was the airport.

0:39:29 > 0:39:30Now there was a Michael Bennett

0:39:30 > 0:39:33booked on a flight to South Africa the day Daniel died.

0:39:33 > 0:39:36So, that's what he was up to. Why he was going to dig up the box.

0:39:36 > 0:39:37He was making a break for it!

0:39:37 > 0:39:40So, this cash must have been his running-away fund.

0:39:40 > 0:39:43But what was he running away from?

0:39:43 > 0:39:44Sir, take a look at this.

0:39:44 > 0:39:47Four years ago, Michael Bennett was the co-owner

0:39:47 > 0:39:51of a homoeopathic business in Hertfordshire which went bust,

0:39:51 > 0:39:54leaving his partner 100,000 in debt.

0:39:54 > 0:39:55Why is that significant?

0:39:55 > 0:39:57- Look who co-owned it. - CLACKS KEY

0:40:02 > 0:40:04Eva Ingram!

0:40:09 > 0:40:11- HE KNOCKS ON DOOR - Eva?

0:40:13 > 0:40:14Eva?

0:40:14 > 0:40:16She's not there.

0:40:16 > 0:40:19Oh, she said she'd cleared it with you, Inspector.

0:40:19 > 0:40:21Did she now? So where did she go?

0:40:21 > 0:40:23Oh, she took a taxi to the harbour.

0:40:23 > 0:40:25The harbour!

0:40:32 > 0:40:34She's here somewhere!

0:40:36 > 0:40:37There she is.

0:40:39 > 0:40:41Just a one way ticket, please.

0:40:48 > 0:40:50Going somewhere nice, Miss Ingram?

0:40:52 > 0:40:54Michael Bennett ripped you off,

0:40:54 > 0:40:56left you £100,000 in debt,

0:40:56 > 0:40:59and then vanished off the face of the Earth.

0:40:59 > 0:41:02I'd say that gives you a pretty good reason to want revenge.

0:41:02 > 0:41:05- Well, I didn't come here to kill him.- No? So, why did you come here?

0:41:05 > 0:41:09What, you just fancied a bit of spiritual rejuvenation?

0:41:09 > 0:41:11- And then by sheer coincidence.- No.

0:41:11 > 0:41:15- I mean, there was one coincidence involved.- Which was?

0:41:15 > 0:41:17One day, a friend of mine called me

0:41:17 > 0:41:21and said she'd happened upon this review of the retreat online.

0:41:21 > 0:41:22And there was a photo of Michael?

0:41:22 > 0:41:24Right, so you booked yourself a place, what then?

0:41:24 > 0:41:28- What was the plan? - Well, I mean to confront him.

0:41:28 > 0:41:30And demand an apology.

0:41:30 > 0:41:31And what he owed me.

0:41:31 > 0:41:33He looked so shocked.

0:41:33 > 0:41:36He couldn't believe that I'd found him.

0:41:36 > 0:41:37Welcome.

0:41:38 > 0:41:40- And what did he say? - That he'd have the money

0:41:40 > 0:41:42by the end of the week but, um,

0:41:42 > 0:41:45- he begged me not to mention it to Cressida.- And you believed him?

0:41:45 > 0:41:48Even though you'd been here before, left high and dry?

0:41:48 > 0:41:50Well, I'm not sure if I believed him,

0:41:50 > 0:41:53but I knew I wasn't going to leave here without my money.

0:41:53 > 0:41:55Well, I'm sure you weren't. But Daniel was.

0:41:55 > 0:41:58He had a flight booked and a big load of cash.

0:41:58 > 0:42:01I think he was about to do exactly what he'd done to you before -

0:42:01 > 0:42:04his disappearing act, leaving you with only one option.

0:42:04 > 0:42:08If you couldn't get your money, then you'd have to settle for revenge.

0:42:13 > 0:42:15One man, two names.

0:42:15 > 0:42:17Daniel Friend and Michael Bennett.

0:42:17 > 0:42:20Four suspects, each of them with a motive.

0:42:20 > 0:42:23And yet not one of them had the opportunity

0:42:23 > 0:42:26to follow Daniel down that path and then strangle him

0:42:26 > 0:42:29because they were all sitting together in a circle

0:42:29 > 0:42:32in the half hour between Daniel being seen alive

0:42:32 > 0:42:33and being found dead.

0:42:34 > 0:42:37So, just how on earth did our killer manage to do it?

0:42:38 > 0:42:39Anyone?

0:42:41 > 0:42:42It's impossible.

0:42:42 > 0:42:45- Except it can't be. Because it did happen.- Sir...

0:42:45 > 0:42:48- The time. Don't we need to get ready for the award ceremony?- Oh!

0:42:48 > 0:42:51It starts in less than an hour and I've still got no speech.

0:42:51 > 0:42:52What am I going to do?

0:42:52 > 0:42:55If we put together everything we know about the commissioner,

0:42:55 > 0:42:58I'm sure we can come up with something. So...

0:42:59 > 0:43:00What have we got?

0:43:00 > 0:43:02OK, so, erm,

0:43:02 > 0:43:07- Yes, we know that the commissioner was born on the island.- Mm-hmm.

0:43:07 > 0:43:10So, erm, yes, anyone else?

0:43:10 > 0:43:12Well, he...

0:43:12 > 0:43:14- He's, um...- He is, erm...

0:43:14 > 0:43:16..the commissioner, let's think...

0:43:16 > 0:43:18ALL MURMUR

0:43:18 > 0:43:20Chief, the man is an enigma!

0:43:20 > 0:43:23HE SIGHS

0:43:24 > 0:43:28It is my great pleasure... It is my great pleasure...

0:43:28 > 0:43:33It is my great pleasure... It is my great pleasure,

0:43:33 > 0:43:36this evening, to say a few words in honour...

0:43:45 > 0:43:46APPLAUSE

0:43:46 > 0:43:49And, finally, we come to the last, and most important,

0:43:49 > 0:43:52of our civic awards this evening.

0:43:52 > 0:43:56The Lifetime Award for Services to the Island.

0:43:56 > 0:43:59And here, to present the award,

0:43:59 > 0:44:02is Detective Inspector Jack Mooney.

0:44:02 > 0:44:04- QUIETLY:- God help me... - APPLAUSE

0:44:04 > 0:44:06You'll be great, sir.

0:44:14 > 0:44:17What can you say about Commissioner Selwyn Patterson?

0:44:20 > 0:44:22FEEDBACK SQUEAKS, HE TAPS

0:44:22 > 0:44:24HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:44:25 > 0:44:29Selwyn Patterson was born here in Saint Marie.

0:44:29 > 0:44:33And, as you all know, he's been our Commissioner for quite a while now.

0:44:33 > 0:44:36And even if some of you aren't certain

0:44:36 > 0:44:38of what a commissioner actually does,

0:44:38 > 0:44:40well I'm sure you'll all agree that

0:44:40 > 0:44:43he seems to know exactly what he's doing.

0:44:43 > 0:44:45SCATTERED COUGHS

0:44:51 > 0:44:55Hand on heart, I don't really know the commissioner that well.

0:44:55 > 0:44:58I mean, I've only been on the island for less than a year.

0:44:58 > 0:45:01But I'd like to think, even in that short time,

0:45:01 > 0:45:04I've got to know something about the people of Saint Marie.

0:45:04 > 0:45:07People like the team I work with,

0:45:07 > 0:45:08who'll come around to keep you company

0:45:08 > 0:45:11when your daughter flies off to the other side of the world.

0:45:11 > 0:45:15Or bring dinner to the office when you've been working too hard.

0:45:15 > 0:45:20In short, the people of this island are among the most friendly,

0:45:20 > 0:45:23decent, good-hearted people I've ever had the pleasure to meet.

0:45:23 > 0:45:28And if you've decided that Selwyn Patterson deserves this award,

0:45:28 > 0:45:31well, then he must be a very fine man indeed.

0:45:32 > 0:45:33Congratulations, Commissioner.

0:45:33 > 0:45:35APPLAUSE

0:45:35 > 0:45:38APPROVING MURMURS

0:45:48 > 0:45:50Well said, sir.

0:45:50 > 0:45:51It's typical, isn't it?

0:45:51 > 0:45:54I mean, you can spend days trying to plan something

0:45:54 > 0:45:56or you can make something up on the spot,

0:45:56 > 0:45:58and the result is exactly the same.

0:45:58 > 0:46:02Thank you, DI Mooney, for those kind and well-chosen words.

0:46:02 > 0:46:04Make something up on the spot.

0:46:04 > 0:46:05Sir?

0:46:05 > 0:46:06What if that's what the killer did?

0:46:06 > 0:46:09Because Daniel wasn't where he was supposed to be.

0:46:12 > 0:46:14Closing our eyes...

0:46:17 > 0:46:19And then Gabe went to get his phone

0:46:19 > 0:46:21and then that's when we called your lot.

0:46:21 > 0:46:23It's not my fault!

0:46:23 > 0:46:25We call them emotional expression sculptures.

0:46:25 > 0:46:27She'd split up with her boyfriend.

0:46:34 > 0:46:36Hello, Michael Bennett.

0:46:36 > 0:46:38I've got it!

0:46:38 > 0:46:40CONCERNED MURMURS

0:46:43 > 0:46:48I believe that sound you've just heard is DI Mooney solving a case.

0:46:50 > 0:46:53Sounds like you have urgent matters to attend to.

0:46:54 > 0:46:56That's it. That's exactly it!

0:46:56 > 0:46:59All this time, I've had it the wrong way around.

0:46:59 > 0:47:02Dwayne, call the undertaker. We need to get Daniel's body back.

0:47:02 > 0:47:05And wake up the pathologist. We need him to run one more test.

0:47:11 > 0:47:13Everything's all set, sir.

0:47:17 > 0:47:19A camera-phone.

0:47:19 > 0:47:22Ubiquitous these days. We all have one.

0:47:22 > 0:47:24Our every moment is recorded.

0:47:24 > 0:47:25No-one, it seems, can eat a sandwich

0:47:25 > 0:47:28without wanting to take a selfie with it.

0:47:28 > 0:47:30Yet, these little fellas are strictly verboten

0:47:30 > 0:47:32here at the Calming Breath. Why?

0:47:32 > 0:47:36Well, Daniel claims it was for holistic reasons.

0:47:36 > 0:47:38But that wasn't the case.

0:47:38 > 0:47:41His obsession with privacy wasn't for his guests' benefit.

0:47:41 > 0:47:42It was for his own benefit,

0:47:42 > 0:47:45because the truth is Daniel was terrified

0:47:45 > 0:47:50- of being exposed for who he really was. Michael Bennett.- Who?

0:47:50 > 0:47:53But Daniel wasn't the only liar here at the retreat.

0:47:53 > 0:47:54You've all got your secrets,

0:47:54 > 0:47:57but only one of you has been lying

0:47:57 > 0:47:59to cover up the fact that you're a murderer.

0:48:00 > 0:48:03Now, all of you sitting there are confident

0:48:03 > 0:48:05that you've got the perfect alibi.

0:48:05 > 0:48:08But truth be told, the question that's been eating away at me

0:48:08 > 0:48:10for the last few days is how on earth

0:48:10 > 0:48:11did our killer manage to strangle

0:48:11 > 0:48:13Daniel while sitting in a meditation circle?

0:48:13 > 0:48:16You don't still think it was one of us, do you?

0:48:16 > 0:48:18Oh, more than ever.

0:48:18 > 0:48:20As a matter of fact, I know for certain it was.

0:48:20 > 0:48:23I mean, I know the real reason why Daniel

0:48:23 > 0:48:27didn't go for his swim that day was because he was on his way

0:48:27 > 0:48:29to retrieve this from where he'd buried it.

0:48:29 > 0:48:32It contained the few remnants of Daniel's former life.

0:48:32 > 0:48:34Michael Bennett's passport.

0:48:34 > 0:48:35His birth certificate.

0:48:35 > 0:48:38And a significant amount of cash.

0:48:38 > 0:48:39An escape fund, if you will.

0:48:39 > 0:48:41Now that his cover had been blown,

0:48:41 > 0:48:43by the woman he used to own a business with,

0:48:43 > 0:48:45he knew it was high time to scarper.

0:48:45 > 0:48:48He had his flights to South Africa booked and ready.

0:48:48 > 0:48:51But Daniel would never make it as far as Johannesburg.

0:48:51 > 0:48:53He wouldn't even make it as far as the cash box.

0:48:53 > 0:48:55Because while he was on his way to get that...

0:48:55 > 0:48:59he collapsed and fell down in the dirt.

0:48:59 > 0:49:01Unconscious.

0:49:02 > 0:49:04Unconscious? Why?

0:49:04 > 0:49:06Because he'd been drugged.

0:49:06 > 0:49:08Drugged? You said he'd been strangled.

0:49:08 > 0:49:11Oh, Daniel was strangled all right, that's for sure.

0:49:11 > 0:49:14But that wasn't the way he was meant to die. No.

0:49:14 > 0:49:16He was supposed to drown.

0:49:16 > 0:49:17Wasn't he...

0:49:19 > 0:49:21..Gabe?

0:49:23 > 0:49:25- Me? You can't be serious?- Yeah!

0:49:25 > 0:49:27We went back to the pathologist

0:49:27 > 0:49:31and we asked him to run an additional test on Daniel's body.

0:49:31 > 0:49:33And that showed that around 65 milligram

0:49:33 > 0:49:37of a strong, fast-acting sedative was in his system.

0:49:37 > 0:49:39I remember Cressida saying...

0:49:39 > 0:49:40It was about 2.30.

0:49:40 > 0:49:42We had just finished lunch.

0:49:44 > 0:49:47I'm guessing that's how you got the sedative into Daniel's system.

0:49:47 > 0:49:48In his green tea.

0:49:51 > 0:49:55You knew what time Daniel went for his swim every day, 2.30.

0:49:55 > 0:49:57Enjoy your swim, my love.

0:49:58 > 0:50:01It was only a few minutes' walk from here to the beach.

0:50:01 > 0:50:04And you knew what time lunch was served, so it wasn't very difficult

0:50:04 > 0:50:06to work out what kind of a dose to give him.

0:50:08 > 0:50:10Especially, as you're a trained doctor.

0:50:10 > 0:50:13Just enough to kick in as he was swimming out into the ocean.

0:50:13 > 0:50:16Causing him to fall into a deep sleep and drown.

0:50:16 > 0:50:18Best case scenario - his body would be lost to the ocean.

0:50:18 > 0:50:21- Never to return.- Worst case,

0:50:21 > 0:50:24cause of death would be dismissed as a tragic accident.

0:50:24 > 0:50:28Meaning no-one would bother to ask for a blood analysis of the victim.

0:50:28 > 0:50:32Not any more than they would if the cause of death was strangulation.

0:50:32 > 0:50:36Unlucky for you, Daniel decided not to go for a swim that day.

0:50:36 > 0:50:39Instead he headed for the Contemplation Garden.

0:50:39 > 0:50:42No wonder finding him lying on the path knocked you sideways.

0:50:42 > 0:50:45That was the last thing you were expecting.

0:50:45 > 0:50:46And worst of all, he was still alive.

0:50:46 > 0:50:49He was still alive?!

0:50:49 > 0:50:52In that moment, you realised you needed to improvise.

0:50:52 > 0:50:56So thinking on your feet you made a bold decision. You told Cressida...

0:50:56 > 0:50:58He's dead.

0:51:03 > 0:51:05While Eva was comforting you,

0:51:05 > 0:51:09Gabe offered to go and get his phone so as he could call the police,

0:51:09 > 0:51:11knowing that this would give him enough time

0:51:11 > 0:51:14to get back to Daniel and finish the job.

0:51:14 > 0:51:17So, Gabe ran and grabbed his phone.

0:51:18 > 0:51:21And then, he headed back to Daniel's body.

0:51:22 > 0:51:25And then...so as he wouldn't leave any fingerprints,

0:51:25 > 0:51:28he used the only weapon that he had on him...

0:51:29 > 0:51:32..the belt from around his robe...

0:51:37 > 0:51:39..and he strangled Daniel.

0:51:45 > 0:51:47There was no struggle.

0:51:47 > 0:51:49How could there be?

0:51:49 > 0:51:50The man was unconscious

0:51:50 > 0:51:52and utterly defenceless.

0:51:54 > 0:51:57And that left only one more thing for you to do

0:51:57 > 0:52:00before returning to the others. Dispose of the belt.

0:52:02 > 0:52:04So, where did you hide it?

0:52:07 > 0:52:10No? Dwayne, JP, if you would?

0:52:13 > 0:52:17On the morning of Daniel's death, Cressida, here

0:52:17 > 0:52:21held an art therapy session with Bryn and Gabe.

0:52:21 > 0:52:24It was only a few hours later that Daniel was killed.

0:52:24 > 0:52:27The clay would have still been wet.

0:52:31 > 0:52:33SMASHING

0:52:33 > 0:52:34THEY GASP

0:52:36 > 0:52:41Once you'd hidden the incriminating belt with Daniel's DNA on it,

0:52:41 > 0:52:44you then took a clean belt from the storeroom,

0:52:44 > 0:52:46and tied it round your own robe.

0:52:47 > 0:52:50Why? What did Daniel ever do to you?

0:52:50 > 0:52:53It wasn't about what Daniel did to Gabe.

0:52:53 > 0:52:56Was it? It was what he did to Gabe's sister.

0:52:56 > 0:52:59He really messed her around.

0:52:59 > 0:53:02She kept telling me she was fine.

0:53:02 > 0:53:03But she wasn't.

0:53:03 > 0:53:05The man you married, Cressida,

0:53:05 > 0:53:08was once in a relationship with Ruth Lee.

0:53:09 > 0:53:11But she knew him as Michael Bennett.

0:53:11 > 0:53:14Now as far as I can tell, Michael Bennett,

0:53:14 > 0:53:17he only ever achieved real success at one thing. Screwing over women.

0:53:17 > 0:53:20BOTH SIGH

0:53:26 > 0:53:29Ruth was totally in love with Michael.

0:53:31 > 0:53:32And then, he just vanished.

0:53:32 > 0:53:38Took her savings, her car and broke her heart so badly.

0:53:38 > 0:53:40She...she never came back from it.

0:53:40 > 0:53:43Daniel Friend spent a lifetime running away.

0:53:44 > 0:53:45From his debt.

0:53:45 > 0:53:47From responsibility.

0:53:47 > 0:53:49From himself.

0:53:49 > 0:53:53But like I say, in an age where our every move is recorded,

0:53:53 > 0:53:55no-one can outrun their past.

0:53:55 > 0:53:57Of course, the irony here is

0:53:57 > 0:54:01that if Daniel hadn't been trying to run away on this occasion,

0:54:01 > 0:54:05there's every chance that his killer would have got away with murder.

0:54:05 > 0:54:08You know, when he saw me, he didn't even recognise me.

0:54:08 > 0:54:11That's how little my sister meant to him.

0:54:11 > 0:54:14I don't regret what I did. He deserved it!

0:54:14 > 0:54:16At least, now Ruth can rest in peace.

0:54:18 > 0:54:19JP.

0:54:21 > 0:54:23OK, up you get.

0:54:36 > 0:54:41Well, I can't deny what my eyes saw, JP.

0:54:41 > 0:54:43This book really does have magic in it.

0:54:43 > 0:54:45For instance right now,

0:54:45 > 0:54:50Catherine is going to bring us both over a free beer.

0:54:50 > 0:54:51And how did you come to that?

0:54:51 > 0:54:56Well, how do you think, man? I visualised it! Remember?

0:54:57 > 0:55:00Here you are, gentlemen. Two beers.

0:55:01 > 0:55:03You see? Cheers!

0:55:03 > 0:55:04Oh!

0:55:04 > 0:55:07And your bill, Dwayne!

0:55:07 > 0:55:08HE CHUCKLES

0:55:08 > 0:55:12But, Catherine, how come this says, "ten beers"?

0:55:12 > 0:55:14The last time you were in, you forgot to pay.

0:55:14 > 0:55:18But you don't mind settling up now, do you?

0:55:18 > 0:55:19Oh, come on, no.

0:55:19 > 0:55:20Later.

0:55:20 > 0:55:22HE CHUCKLES

0:55:26 > 0:55:29Like I said, it's all a big con.

0:55:34 > 0:55:36You sure you're all right to finish off here, sir?

0:55:36 > 0:55:38Yeah, you go on ahead.

0:55:38 > 0:55:41- See you in the morning. - Night, sir.

0:55:43 > 0:55:44DS Cassell.

0:55:46 > 0:55:47Commissioner.

0:55:53 > 0:55:57It might not have been quite the speech I was hoping for,

0:55:57 > 0:56:01but in its own peculiar way, I appreciated the sentiment.

0:56:01 > 0:56:03Well, it was from the heart.

0:56:03 > 0:56:05I gathered.

0:56:05 > 0:56:08I was pleased to note how well you're settling into island life.

0:56:08 > 0:56:11Saint Marie's clearly got under your skin.

0:56:11 > 0:56:12Has indeed, sir.

0:56:20 > 0:56:21Cricket.

0:56:21 > 0:56:23Sorry?

0:56:23 > 0:56:25Watching my father play cricket.

0:56:25 > 0:56:27You wanted to know what was my earliest memory.

0:56:27 > 0:56:29- Just for the record.- Right.

0:56:30 > 0:56:34- It's too bad I couldn't put that in my speech.- Who knows?

0:56:34 > 0:56:38Maybe in time, we might get to know each other a little better.

0:56:38 > 0:56:39I'd like that.

0:56:39 > 0:56:42Perhaps we could go for another drink.

0:56:42 > 0:56:44Let's not get ahead of ourselves, Inspector.

0:57:06 > 0:57:08Police, please!

0:57:08 > 0:57:10GRUNTING

0:57:10 > 0:57:11Cordell Thomas...

0:57:11 > 0:57:13Now why would our victim be clutching a peanut?

0:57:13 > 0:57:17I. Didn't. Do it. Inspector.

0:57:17 > 0:57:20You have hot-footed it up here to stuff your face,

0:57:20 > 0:57:22while the rest of your poor colleagues

0:57:22 > 0:57:24- are working through the night. - But it's my birthday!

0:57:24 > 0:57:26First girl I ever kissed had the same initials.

0:57:26 > 0:57:28Leony Brennan. Terrifying, she was.

0:57:28 > 0:57:29God, I hope it's not her...
