0:00:22 > 0:00:26SHOUTING CONTINUES
0:00:35 > 0:00:38SHOUTING INTENSIFIES
0:00:38 > 0:00:40MAN SCREAMS
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Police, please!
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- Are you the person who called us? - Yes!
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Sounded like all hell was breaking loose in there.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- Oh, yeah?- Uh-huh.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43- Dwayne?- What?
0:01:43 > 0:01:45There's definitely someone inside.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51- We know you're in there! Open up! - Dwayne, wait, wait!- What?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- There's someone on the floor. I think he's hurt.- Eh?
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Stand back from the door!
0:02:07 > 0:02:08He's dead.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12CLANKING
0:02:12 > 0:02:14You wait here!
0:02:25 > 0:02:27DOOR CREAKS
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- DOOR THUDS - Get me!
0:02:34 > 0:02:35Hey!
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Stop!
0:02:43 > 0:02:45I am arresting you on suspicion of...
0:02:46 > 0:02:47Cordell Thomas?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54What is... What's happened?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58It's OK. I know who he is.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02I know exactly who did it.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48- Morning, Florence!- Morning, sir.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- Where've you been?- Night fishing, of all things.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53I stopped off for a quick rum after work,
0:03:53 > 0:03:55got chatting to Bernard here and I happened to mention
0:03:55 > 0:03:58that I used to go fishing for trout with my Uncle Terence as a kid.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Anyway, one thing led to another, the next thing you know...
0:04:02 > 0:04:05..I've only gone and caught myself a real live snapper!
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Only he's not so live now, obviously.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Well done, sir. That's a big one.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Thank you! So, we've got a suspected murder.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- Is it far from here? - It's a ten-minute drive.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Dwayne and JP are waiting at the crime scene.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21OK, no time to waste. Thanks, Bernard! Cracking night.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23- No problem, sir. - Must do it again soon.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28ENGINE HUMS
0:04:33 > 0:04:35So what've we got, Dwayne?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Looks like a robbery gone wrong, Chief.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39This neighbour called up about a disturbance.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42He was putting out his rubbish just after midnight.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45And he heard shouting coming from inside the neighbour's house.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Then he noticed a pick-up truck.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49When we got there, I had to breach the front door.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51We found the owner dead on the floor
0:04:51 > 0:04:54and the assailant making a run for it.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Did you manage to arrest him?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58That's the bad news.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Just as JP was about to cuff the suspect,
0:05:00 > 0:05:02he broke loose and skedaddled.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Unlucky. I don't suppose there's any good news to go with the bad?
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Strangely enough, Chief, there is.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10JP knows exactly who it is.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Cordell Thomas, sir.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19We were at the same school for a while.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Few years ago now. But, erm, I remember his face.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25That's definitely his truck parked outside?
0:05:25 > 0:05:27I checked the documentation in the glove compartment.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- It's his.- Oh, the suspect dropped this when JP tackled him.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Japers. Jewellery! Look at that! Fair old whack!
0:05:35 > 0:05:38To be honest with you sir, I can't say I'm surprised
0:05:38 > 0:05:40to find him caught up in something like this.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Cordell was always in trouble at school.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44And who here's our victim?
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Eugene Jones. Quite a known face around the island.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Bit of a character. Owns Lil's Cafe on the high street,
0:05:51 > 0:05:53and a few other businesses.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Er, souvenir stall by the harbour.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58A couple of hire cars, you know, that kind of thing.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Quite the entrepreneur, eh?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02And it was definitely his voice the neighbour heard arguing?
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Yes, but he couldn't make out the other person.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07From the shape of the wound,
0:06:07 > 0:06:09looks like the victim was hit by this.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Must've come from there.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18So, they tussled over here by the coffee table.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20The vase gets knocked over.
0:06:21 > 0:06:26The pair of them end up over here, near the side-board.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Where the suspect grabs the ornament,
0:06:28 > 0:06:30then hits the victim on the head with it.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Victim staggers back, falls to the floor just here,
0:06:33 > 0:06:35and then crawls forward.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Right, let's get that ornament to the lab for a start.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45You know, I always wondered about silk pyjamas.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Are they worth the extra cost?
0:06:47 > 0:06:51You know, compared to the more traditional cotton-polyester mix?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53I don't know, sir.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57The worth of the pyjamas depends on the quality of the silk.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00And from where I'm standing, with all due respect to the dead,
0:07:00 > 0:07:01that is some cheap silk.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04I'll take your word for it. You clearly know your pyjamas.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Strange! He's holding something.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- Is that a peanut, Chief? - It is indeed, Dwayne.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Now, why would our victim be clutching a peanut?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25You didn't notice any more of these lying around the place?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- No, Chief. No nuts.- Ah.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Well, we should do a proper search anyway, just to make sure.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- Did he have any relatives? - Yes, one sister. Celeste.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36We're going to see her after we finish up here.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37Right, then, we can release the body.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Finish processing the scene. Florence, while they're doing that,
0:07:40 > 0:07:42I think we should head back to the station.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Try and figure out where our killer is hiding himself.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Right, first things first, I'm going to put Sammy here in the fridge.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Then we check the electoral register for Cordell's home address.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55I mean, it's unlikely he'll head back there
0:07:55 > 0:07:57but we need to make absolutely sure.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Sir, you named him Sammy?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01What, you don't think he looks like a Sammy?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Morning. Can we help you at all?
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Cordell Thomas.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10I know you know it was me that did it, so...
0:08:12 > 0:08:14..I've come to hand myself in.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17I've been working for Eugene for the past four months.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21Driving him round, making deliveries, pick-ups.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24So, you knew whose house it was you were breaking into?
0:08:26 > 0:08:30A few days ago, I was dropping off the weekly takings.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Eugene got out this sports bag. Asked me to take a look inside.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36I knew straight away the stuff was stolen.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39He asked me if I thought I could sell it on for a cut of the profits.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41And what did you say?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43I told him I'd think about it.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Kept talking myself out of it.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- But...- The little devil on your shoulder got the better of you?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I got to thinking, what if I cut Eugene out?
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Split no profits. Take the jewellery and sell it myself.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59And that's why you broke in?
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Eugene had told me he'd be out late last night, so I went round there.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- What time was this? - Just before midnight.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I know he always leaves the window round the back ajar
0:09:09 > 0:09:11to let some air in, so I climbed through.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Eugene must've come home early and gone to bed.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16He came downstairs and found you?
0:09:16 > 0:09:19He lost it when he saw what I was doing.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Came at me. Pushed me against the wall, hurting me.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28So I grabbed the closest thing at hand and I hit him.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30I didn't mean to do it as hard as I did,
0:09:30 > 0:09:32but I didn't know how else to stop him.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39One question, Cordell.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41When you hit Eugene, did he go down straight away?
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Why? What is it?
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Well, it's just...
0:09:47 > 0:09:50..we found this at the crime scene.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- A peanut?- Yeah, it was in Eugene's hand.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55I'm just wondering if you've any idea how it got there.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Erm, I've no idea.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02It's a bit odd, though, don't you think?
0:10:02 > 0:10:05I mean, I assume he wasn't holding on to it when he attacked you?
0:10:05 > 0:10:08He didn't attack you with a peanut, did he?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- No, of course not.- No! That'd be just plain weird, wouldn't it?
0:10:11 > 0:10:14So, if he was out cold after you hit him,
0:10:14 > 0:10:16then how did he end up with a peanut in his hand?
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- I don't know.- Me neither.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39Something tells me you don't think he's telling the truth.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41It's the peanut, Florence.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Cordell was as baffled by it being in Eugene's hand as we were.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Yet he was supposedly there when it all happened.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- So, you think Cordell wasn't there when it happened?- Maybe.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Then that would mean someone else is the killer?
0:10:52 > 0:10:56But all the evidence we've uncovered so far supports Cordell's statement.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58How he got in through the window.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Knowing the jewellery would be there.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02But we've also got the witness who saw his truck outside
0:11:02 > 0:11:03at the time of the murder.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07So, if it wasn't Cordell that did it...
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Then why does it look exactly like he did?
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Ah! Well, JP, after the night we've had,
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I... I would say we've definitely earned this one.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Huh, yeah, thanks, Dwayne.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- What's that?- Eh? Muffin.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30- You have a muffin?- Yes.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Angelique at the bakery said I could have one as a treat.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34So, why do you get a treat and I don't?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Because it's not your special day, is it?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Oh! It's your birthday!
0:11:39 > 0:11:42I... I totally forgot, Dwayne, I'm so sorry.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46It's not a biggy. It's not a real, you know, landmark birth.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48But still, happy birthday, partner.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53Celeste.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58- Celeste!- We're not open yet.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01It's the police!
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- Oh!- Officer Myers.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Officer Hooper. How can I help?
0:12:10 > 0:12:11It's about Eugene.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14What?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18I'm afraid it's not good news.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21We found him dead at his house last night.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23SHE GASPS
0:12:23 > 0:12:25I'm sorry.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- What happened? - Well, there was an intruder.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Looks like Eugene confronted him.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- An intruder?- Yes.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37You know who it was?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Ah, gents. How did you get on with the sister?
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- Well, sir, she was pretty upset. - Poor woman.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49We told her that we have a suspect in mind.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- And what did she say?- Well, she wasn't wholly surprised.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54She was a bit wary when Eugene took on Cordell.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Had heard about his reputation.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59And what about the victim's house? Find any more nuts?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Not a single one.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04We found jars of rice, pasta and beans in the kitchen.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06But none with any nuts in it.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- What's that smell? - Ah! That'll be Sammy.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Sammy? Who's Sammy?
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Sammy's the snapper. I caught him last night.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19He's taken up temporary residence in the fridge,
0:13:19 > 0:13:21so apologies for any residual pong.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- Maybe I should give it a spray. - Yeah.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Anyway, how are things here, sir?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- Any closer finding Cordell? - Closer than you'd expect, JP.
0:13:31 > 0:13:32He's in the cells, as we speak.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36- What?- Well, we can't take any credit for it.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Cordell was here waiting for us when we got back.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43- Confessed to the whole thing. - So that's great, case closed.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Actually, the case is still firmly open.
0:13:48 > 0:13:49But you just said he confessed, sir.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52The Inspector thinks Cordell might be innocent.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- I should've known.- OK, I don't understand, sir.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Cordell has admitted that he did it.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00I... I know, JP. It doesn't make any sense.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03But I think Cordell has been lying to us about what happened.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05And we've got 24 hours before we have to charge him,
0:14:05 > 0:14:08so I want us to treat this as an unsolved murder investigation.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10You're the chief, Chief.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14OK, so, sir, our victim.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Eugene Barnaby Jones.
0:14:16 > 0:14:1843 years of age. Never married.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Inherited his mother's business, Lili's Cafe,
0:14:20 > 0:14:22when she died four years ago.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- Right, and would you say he was a well-liked man?- Not really.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Used to get a lot of people's backs up.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30But to the extent of somebody actually killing him...
0:14:30 > 0:14:32And yet kill him, somebody did.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35And our only suspect so far is this man, Cordell Thomas.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38He claims he landed the fatal blow during a botched robbery.
0:14:38 > 0:14:4328 years old. Attended Honore High School until the age of 16.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Since he left, he seems to have drifted round the island,
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- taking cash-in-hand work. - Yeah, sounds like Cordell, sir -
0:14:49 > 0:14:54- was always a bit of a loner.- And he has form, right?- Yeah, probably.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Two charges of theft and one for aggravated assault.
0:14:58 > 0:15:03So if Cordell isn't our killer, that can only mean one thing.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Somebody else is. So who was it? Why did they do it?
0:15:06 > 0:15:09And why is Cordell willing to go to prison for them?
0:15:09 > 0:15:10And if we can answer all that,
0:15:10 > 0:15:14maybe we get to the bottom of why our victim died
0:15:14 > 0:15:16holding a lone peanut in his hand.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18So where do you want us to start?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- Do we know where Cordell lives?- Mm-hm.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25He rents a flat at the old plantation house outside town.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27OK, well, why don't you fellas go and give it the once-over?
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Yes, Chief. JP?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35And Florence, you and I should start
0:15:35 > 0:15:37with what I reckon is our strongest lead we have so far.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- The stolen jewellery.- Exactly.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42I really don't know why we're wasting time like this.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46We've got a guy in custody with proven form.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47And he's confessed to the murder.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- What more does the Inspector want? - For you to follow orders!
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Look, if the Chief wants us to look under every stone
0:15:58 > 0:16:01and give the place a twice-over, that's his prerogative.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- Hello?- Oh, oh, excuse me, miss.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08We're looking for room number 12.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- Cordell Thomas' apartment? - That's right. You know him?
0:16:11 > 0:16:14I care-take this place, so I see him around. Has something happened?
0:16:14 > 0:16:16He's been arrested.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Er, he was caught breaking into someone's house.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21But I'm afraid that's all we can say at the moment
0:16:21 > 0:16:24because it's still very much an ongoing police investigation.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29- And the flat would be? - I'll show you.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- Bedroom, bathroom down there.- Mm-hm.
0:16:41 > 0:16:46- Well, erm, thank you, Miss, erm... - Gayle. Marie Gayle.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Ah, Marie, thank you very much.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- JP?- I'm sorry.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Are you sure it was Cordell?
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Why? Is there someone else you think it could be?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- No. It just doesn't sound like him. - And what makes you say that?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03I don't know Cordell that well.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06You know, just to pass in the corridor. But he seems decent.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09You know, kind. That's all.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14OK. Thank you.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Look, maybe the Chief's right about this.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Maybe Cordell has changed since you knew him. Hm?
0:17:29 > 0:17:31That would be great. No, no, I can hold.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Now, that's interesting.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36This necklace. It's got the initials LB.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Have you come across anyone with those initials?
0:17:40 > 0:17:41I've been calling round the locksmiths
0:17:41 > 0:17:44to see if they've attended any unreported break-ins.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45- Not having any joy?- I wasn't.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48But I just spoke to a guy who got a call-out two weeks ago.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52He remembered it because he thought the husband was acting very shifty.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54He's just getting me the details.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59First girl I ever kissed had the same initials.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Leoni Brennon. Terrifying, she was.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Spent the whole of primary school living in fear of her.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- God, I hope it's not her. - Yeah, yeah, I'm still here.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13OK.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Well, thank you for your help. Bye.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19So, the owner of the house is a Charles Blake.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21I'll check the register.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27He's lived on Saint Marie for five years.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31Other residents at the address are...his wife.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34- Lucy Blake.- LB.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38But if their house was burgled, why didn't they report it?
0:18:38 > 0:18:39Well, they say the only time
0:18:39 > 0:18:42people don't like involving the police in a crime...
0:18:42 > 0:18:45..is when those people are criminals themselves!
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Exactly. See if Mr Blake has a record, would you?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Whoa! Look at this.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Who's been a naughty boy, then?
0:18:57 > 0:19:00It's the police, love! I'll deal with it.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- Don't worry, you stay there. - Morning!
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Apologies for the attire. I've been hitting the treadmill.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12Always try and fit in 5K before breakfast, if I can.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Well you're a better man than me, Mr Blake.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19The most I ever manage before breakfast is a trip to the bathroom.
0:19:19 > 0:19:24So, how can I be of service to the local constabulary this morning?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Do you recognise this?
0:19:31 > 0:19:32Ah, that's Lucy's necklace.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- Where'd you find it?- At a crime scene earlier this morning.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39With quite a selection of other pieces of jewellery,
0:19:39 > 0:19:40and some gents' watches.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Now I was just wondering if maybe they might belong to yourself
0:19:43 > 0:19:45and Mrs Blake as well.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47I couldn't tell you without seeing them.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Ooh, so you are missing more than just this one item at the moment?
0:19:51 > 0:19:55We had a break-in a couple of weeks ago.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57They helped themselves to my watch collection
0:19:57 > 0:20:00and two of Lucy's jewellery cases. She was gutted, poor lamb.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02And you didn't think to call the police to deal with it?
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Entre nous, I never actually got the stuff insured.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09So a crime number was never going to do me much good.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11- But don't tell Lucy that, eh? - If you don't mind me asking,
0:20:11 > 0:20:14how much was it all worth? The jewellery? The watches.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Well, couldn't tell you off the top of me head.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19I mean, I'm no Louis Cartier,
0:20:19 > 0:20:21but I imagine that little lot set you back a bob or two.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24What are we talking, 60, 70 grand, maybe?
0:20:25 > 0:20:27My property that got stolen, Inspector.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30So how I choose to deal with it is up to me.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33You see, that's what worries me, Charlie.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36The person who was found in possession of it had been murdered.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41You don't think it's me what done it?
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- We checked your criminal record. - I was shocked, frankly.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Armed robbery, assault, numerous spells in prison.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51And now I'm retired. I don't do that any more.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Maybe. But I can't help thinking, if a man like you gets ripped off,
0:20:55 > 0:20:57then something tells me you're not going to take that
0:20:57 > 0:20:59lying down, are you?
0:21:00 > 0:21:01For the record, where were you
0:21:01 > 0:21:04between ten and eleven o'clock last night?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06I was in bed. Asleep.
0:21:06 > 0:21:11- With Mrs Blake?- As it happens, I was alone, actually.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Lucy was out with the girls last night.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16So, to be clear, Charlie...
0:21:17 > 0:21:21..you don't have an alibi for the time our victim was murdered?
0:21:21 > 0:21:23No, Inspector.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24I don't.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Morning, Dwayne.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39- JP?- Darlene.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43So, how's my birthday boy today?
0:21:43 > 0:21:45All the better for seeing you, Darlene.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48I take it we're still on for dinner this evening?
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Well, I should hope so.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52I've already bought all the ingredients.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- Oh?- Your favourite.- Mm. - Creole-spiced ribs.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59- Oh, Lord!- So, you on the job right now
0:21:59 > 0:22:01or am I allowed to give you a little birthday kiss?
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Well, funny you should say that, you just catch me on a break.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11That evidence isn't going to log itself, you know.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Yes, of course. Goodbye, Darlene.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23- CORDELL:- Hello?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Is anybody there? Can I get some water, please?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40I suppose you're enjoying all this.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50As far as I'm concerned, the sooner this is over with
0:22:50 > 0:22:53and you're out of here, the better.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Everything OK, gents?
0:23:00 > 0:23:01Everything's fine, sir.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Tell me. Do you recognise this fella?
0:23:11 > 0:23:13His name's Charlie Blake.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Never heard of him. Who is he?
0:23:15 > 0:23:17The gear that Eugene asked you to shift
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- belongs to this man and his wife. - What is this?
0:23:20 > 0:23:22What's going on? Why haven't you charged me yet?
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Because I don't think you're telling us the truth, Cordell.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28I think you're covering for someone.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31You know, right now, stuck in this cell, I wish that were true.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34But I'm afraid you are wasting your time, Inspector.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36There is no-one else involved.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Sir, postmortem and lab results are in.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48- I'll print off for you. - Oh, thank you, Florence.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Oh, I almost forgot, Dwayne,
0:23:50 > 0:23:52a little bird by the name of Darlene tells me it's your birthday.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- Why didn't you say? - Oh, you know me, Chief.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58I'm not one to blow my own birthday trumpet.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02- Well, happy birthday, anyway!- Thank you, Chief.- Yes, happy birthday!
0:24:02 > 0:24:04- Thank you, Sarge. - I'd offer to buy you a drink,
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- only I hear you got plans. - Well, I could still fit one in
0:24:06 > 0:24:08before I have dinner with Darlene, you know.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- Only if there's time, now. - There's always time.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Right. Let's see if any of this backs up our thinking.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19So the pathologist confirmed the time of death
0:24:19 > 0:24:21would be just after 10 o'clock last night.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Which is when both Cordell and the neighbour say it happened.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Small traces of blood found on the ornament
0:24:26 > 0:24:29confirm this to be the weapon. Partial finger-prints recovered.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31And who did they belong to?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Cordell Thomas.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36As well as Cordell being caught at the crime scene,
0:24:36 > 0:24:39and then confessing he did it, we now also have a time of death
0:24:39 > 0:24:42that matches his and the neighbour's statements.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Plus, his prints are on the murder weapon.- I know, JP.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Every single piece of evidence we've uncovered so far
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- points to Cordell as our killer. - So, maybe he is, then, sir.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Florence. How're you getting on?
0:24:54 > 0:24:56I've been going through the victim's finances
0:24:56 > 0:24:58and Eugene was struggling to make ends meet.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02Might also explains the sub-standard quality of his silky jim-jams.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Er, you know what, Chief?
0:25:04 > 0:25:06If our victim was trying to sell that stuff,
0:25:06 > 0:25:08maybe I should have a word with Jimmy The Fence.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11- Why not? Give him a bell. - Will do.- Also, sir,
0:25:11 > 0:25:13I found a monthly payment for a lock-up
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Eugene rents down by the beach. Might be worth us taking a look.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20Good thinking. How did you fellas get on at Cordell's flat?
0:25:20 > 0:25:22It looked like Cordell didn't use it very much, sir.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24I think Eugene had him working long hours.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26We also spoke to a couple of his neighbours
0:25:26 > 0:25:28and they confirmed exactly what JP said earlier.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29The man is a total loner.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Which makes me start to wonder, how can the guy be covering for someone
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- if he doesn't even know anyone? - We did find this, sir.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Cordell's address book. There's not many names inside it.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- But I'll phone around a few that's there.- Mm.- Sir?
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Key to Eugene's lock-up.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Lead the way, Detective!
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Wow, look at all this stuff.
0:25:54 > 0:25:55Man of taste!
0:25:59 > 0:26:00Florence?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06OK, I'll speak to the man outside. See if he saw anything.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- Hello, sir. Can I ask you some questions, please?- Yes, Officer...
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Don't mind if I do.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Serves you right for trying to steal a dead man's cookies.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30Right, what've we got?
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Thank you.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Sir? That was really interesting.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43He said yesterday he was working on his boat
0:26:43 > 0:26:46when he heard shouting coming from inside this lock-up.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48When he looked, Eugene's sister was there.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50She was furious.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52He couldn't make out what it was all about.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55But when she left, she said Eugene hadn't heard the last of it.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59I am not going to be driven out of my own place!
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Well, I think I might know what it was about.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Look at these. It's where Eugene keeps all his paperwork.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09- He was selling the cafe? - Although Eugene owns the restaurant,
0:27:09 > 0:27:11it seems like it's Celeste who runs the show.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13So, if he'd decided to sell it...
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Yeah, I imagine she wouldn't be too happy about it.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Wow, this place is really something!
0:27:26 > 0:27:29This your mum? Lily, was it?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- Yes.- I imagine she was the life and soul of the place, am I right?
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Take a seat.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Yes, she was a good hostess.
0:27:39 > 0:27:44Made every night feel special.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46- Like a party. - And from what I gather,
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Eugene was cut from the same cloth?
0:27:49 > 0:27:54They both had a certain...charisma.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57When your mother died, she left the business to Eugene.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01- He was younger than you?- Mm-hm. - Why not leave it to you, Celeste?
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Seems it's you who does all the work.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Eugene was her favourite.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10But though it was Eugene's name on the deeds,
0:28:10 > 0:28:13it's my heart that beats inside this place.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Oh, well, that's plain to see.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17No doubt about that.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21So, then, how did you feel about the fact
0:28:21 > 0:28:23that Eugene was planning to sell the restaurant?
0:28:26 > 0:28:27Huh, I, er...
0:28:29 > 0:28:31I only found out yesterday.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Eugene never showed any interest in this place.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Always too busy pursuing his "other ventures",
0:28:38 > 0:28:40as he liked to call them.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42But all it ever did was brought him more debt.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44So, what were you going to do about it?
0:28:45 > 0:28:47There is nothing I can do.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50We know you had an argument with Eugene yesterday at his lock-up.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53Sounds like you got pretty worked up there, Celeste.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59From the moment that child was born...
0:29:01 > 0:29:04..Eugene had not a single ounce of common sense in that head of his.
0:29:06 > 0:29:07Mamma didn't care.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10"He has spirit," she'd say.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16But what good is spirit if you don't have the gumption to go with it?
0:29:18 > 0:29:19I admit it.
0:29:21 > 0:29:22I disliked my brother.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26And I would have gladly murdered him
0:29:26 > 0:29:28for what he planned to do to this restaurant.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Except that she...
0:29:33 > 0:29:35..Mamma, would never have forgiven me.
0:29:36 > 0:29:42And unlike Eugene, I at least have some respect for my mother's memory.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45Where were you last night around ten o'clock?
0:29:45 > 0:29:49I was here. Cleaning up after service.
0:29:49 > 0:29:50Anyone vouch for that?
0:29:52 > 0:29:53I was alone.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59But sir, if Celeste killed Eugene,
0:29:59 > 0:30:01why would Cordell agree to cover for her?
0:30:01 > 0:30:03When me and Dwayne spoke to her earlier,
0:30:03 > 0:30:06- she said she didn't even trust the guy.- It's a fair point, JP.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08I don't quite have an answer yet.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11And it's the same problem with our first suspect, Charlie Blake.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14We can't find a strong enough connection between him and Cordell.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Also true - thank you, Florence.
0:30:16 > 0:30:21So we only have two possible suspects and, in both cases,
0:30:21 > 0:30:22there's absolutely no reason
0:30:22 > 0:30:25for Cordell to take the blame for either of them.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Again, spot on. Much appreciated.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Dwayne, JP, I don't suppose you've found anything
0:30:30 > 0:30:33to support my theory that Cordell might be innocent.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Dwayne, what about Jimmy the Fence, was he any help?
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Still waiting for him to call me back.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40JP, what about Cordell's address book?
0:30:40 > 0:30:42- Did you manage to speak to any of them?- All of them, sir.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Mostly older friends who said
0:30:44 > 0:30:46they've hardly seen Cordell in the last year.
0:30:49 > 0:30:50What about his phone records?
0:30:50 > 0:30:53There's no registered accounts with any of the island's networks.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56He must've used a pay-as-you-go phone and disposed of it
0:30:56 > 0:30:58because we didn't find one at the crime scene or at his flat.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02- Maybe he ditched it before he handed himself in.- Well, that could help.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Because you'd only ditch your phone if there was something on it
0:31:04 > 0:31:07- you didn't want the police to find. - But how we going to find that, sir?
0:31:07 > 0:31:09It could be anywhere on the island.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14So, the truth is, Cordell leads an isolated life.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16With few, if any, friends.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Which makes it hard to believe there's anyone
0:31:18 > 0:31:20he could be protecting, even if he wanted to. On top of which,
0:31:20 > 0:31:23every single piece of evidence we have so far
0:31:23 > 0:31:25points firmly to him as the guilty party.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27- Apart from the peanut. - Apart from the peanut.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31All right, let's take a breather. Clear the heads.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Here, sir. I made you a cup of tea.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51I thought you looked like you could use one.
0:31:51 > 0:31:52Ah, that's very thoughtful, JP.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57No situation can't be remedied by a nice hot cup of cha.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02- Sir. Can I ask you something? - Course you can.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Well, that peanut.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08Is that the only reason why you're convinced Cordell is innocent?
0:32:10 > 0:32:11I'll tell you what, JP.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15I'll answer your question on the proviso that you answer one for me.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17- Deal?- Deal.
0:32:17 > 0:32:18What's your question?
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Cordell Thomas.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25Why are you so convinced he's guilty?
0:32:25 > 0:32:26There's more going on here
0:32:26 > 0:32:28than just an old face from the past, isn't there?
0:32:31 > 0:32:36Cordell wasn't a very nice person at school, you know?
0:32:37 > 0:32:43In fact, he was very nasty, sir. Bullied people, bullied me.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Sorry to hear that.
0:32:47 > 0:32:48Yeah, must've been tough.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50What age were you when this happened?
0:32:50 > 0:32:53I was 11. It lasted about a year.
0:32:54 > 0:32:59I mean, I was small for my age and easy to pick on.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02And because I didn't ever put up a fight, I think Cordell,
0:33:02 > 0:33:04well, he realised he could do whatever he wanted to me.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06So he did.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11What I saw inside him then, you know, looking into his eyes
0:33:11 > 0:33:14as he picked on me and pushed me around...
0:33:16 > 0:33:18I don't think that just leaves you.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Anyway, your turn.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28Oh, yeah. The peanut. Yeah.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32My old man was a copper. Did I ever tell you that?
0:33:32 > 0:33:36- No. A detective like you? - No, no, no, no. Strictly uniform.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39But he was good, you know. He had a nose for it.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43And he used to say you know the truth not just by the reason,
0:33:43 > 0:33:45but also by the heart.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48And I guess that's how I feel about Cordell.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51There's something in here, telling me that he didn't do it.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54So, no. Wasn't just about the peanut.
0:33:57 > 0:33:58But what can you do about instinct
0:33:58 > 0:34:01when all the physical evidence is solidly stacked against you?
0:34:03 > 0:34:05- HE SIGHS - Running out of options, JP.
0:34:08 > 0:34:09You know what, sir?
0:34:11 > 0:34:13I think I know what we need to do.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Florence! JP and I have just had an impromptu case conference
0:34:16 > 0:34:19out on the veranda and, well, the upshot is
0:34:19 > 0:34:21we've decided to work through the night to try and crack this one.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24- If that's the plan, then I'm in. - Which means the pressure's on.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Because we've got less than 10 hours before we have to charge Cordell.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29- Thank you, Jimmy.- Is that your man, Jimmy The Fence?
0:34:29 > 0:34:33Oh, yes, about two weeks ago, Jimmy got wind on the grape vine
0:34:33 > 0:34:36that one of the local thieves had burgled Charlie Blake's house.
0:34:36 > 0:34:37Did he say who it was?
0:34:37 > 0:34:39That was the only thing I couldn't get out of him.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41As soon as that thieving little toe-rag realised
0:34:41 > 0:34:45whose house he'd broken into, he started to sweat like a hot banana.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47He didn't want a man like Charlie Blake on his back.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- So, what did he do?- Well, he went to find someone to sell the gear to.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53And in steps the unwitting Eugene Jones, I take it?
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Exactly. So, anyway,
0:34:55 > 0:34:59Jimmy then heard that Charlie Blake was kicking and screaming,
0:34:59 > 0:35:01running up and down, asking everybody
0:35:01 > 0:35:03if they knew who had his gear.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06So, Charlie wasn't going to just let go of it.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09You better believe it! Apparently, he was fuming.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13Saying that he was going to make sure whoever had stolen his stuff
0:35:13 > 0:35:15was going to suffer.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19I think it's time you and I had another little chat with Mr Blake.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22And why don't you fellas pop back to the victim's house?
0:35:22 > 0:35:23- Give it another search.- Yes, sir.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25And see if you can speak to the neighbour again.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27See if there's anything at all he forgot to tell us.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30With all due respect, Chief, it's getting a bit late
0:35:30 > 0:35:33and some of us have places we need to be, remember?
0:35:33 > 0:35:37Oh, your birthday dinner! I am so sorry, Dwayne.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39You go on, we can manage.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41- Well, if you're sure it's OK? - Yeah, go on! Enjoy yourself.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Thank you, Chief.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47HE SNIFFS
0:35:47 > 0:35:50You know, Florence. Maybe I should change my shirt first.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Still smells of fish. What do you think?
0:35:52 > 0:35:55- HE SNIFFS - Yeah.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59You know what the hardest thing is about being a detective, Charlie?
0:35:59 > 0:36:01No.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03But I get the feeling you're going to tell me.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06It's having the faith to trust your instincts.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Because it's abstract, intangible.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Nothing more than a feeling in your guts telling you something's wrong.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16- Your point?- Earlier today, I had the same feeling about you.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18And I was right to trust it.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20We have a witness who claims you were threatening revenge
0:36:20 > 0:36:23- on whoever had your jewellery. - The next thing,
0:36:23 > 0:36:25the man in possession of it turns up dead.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27Now, are you telling me that's just a coincidence?
0:36:28 > 0:36:32I'll be brief, Inspector, cos I've had my fill of your time-wasting.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36You're right. I was looking to get my jewellery back.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40And if I found whoever had it, there were going to be consequences.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43However, things never got that far.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47Because it now seems someone beat me to it.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52And anything to prove to us that it wasn't you who did it?
0:36:52 > 0:36:53Nothing.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56But if your instinct's as good as you seem to think it is,
0:36:56 > 0:36:58then why don't we let that be the judge?
0:37:01 > 0:37:06I...didn't...do it, Inspector.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16Well, as the English would say,
0:37:16 > 0:37:18- blimey.- Blimey indeed.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27Hmm! Oh!
0:37:27 > 0:37:30It's your birthday, so help yourself to as much as you want.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Oh, yes!
0:37:32 > 0:37:35I've been waiting for this all day, you know.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39I thought I'd nearly have to cancel.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43- Oh?- Yeah, see, we've got this case, it's really baffling, you know.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46So, the Chief wanted us to work up all night.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50But my very own boy in blue managed to solve it just in time, eh?
0:37:50 > 0:37:53If I had, they wouldn't still be up there working on it now.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56I reckon they'll be up there for most of the night.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00Anyway, so the Chief said to me, "Look, it's your birthday,
0:38:00 > 0:38:03"go and enjoy yourself." So here I am.
0:38:09 > 0:38:10Is something wrong, Darlene?
0:38:10 > 0:38:14So, you have hot-footed it up here to stuff your face.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16- You better believe it!- While the rest of your poor colleagues
0:38:16 > 0:38:19are working through the night to bring justice to this island.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21But it's my birthday!
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- Here, caffeine'll do you good. - Thank you.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29I mean, it probably won't in the long run.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31But it might stop us from nodding off.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35So, Charlie Blake?
0:38:35 > 0:38:39- I hate to say this, sir, but... - You think he's telling the truth?
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Maybe we've had our murderer locked up in that cell all along.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52Cordell. He had a coffee with him.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56Sir, if you were going to hand yourself in to the police
0:38:56 > 0:38:59to protect someone, what's the last thing you'd do?
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Well, let the person I was protecting know
0:39:02 > 0:39:03that's what I was doing.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07So, what, you think Cordell phoned whoever it is he's covering for
0:39:07 > 0:39:09before handing himself in?
0:39:09 > 0:39:12It's like JP said, the phone could be anywhere.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Except I remembered he had a takeaway coffee,
0:39:14 > 0:39:17it was six in the morning when he got to the station
0:39:17 > 0:39:20and there's only one place open at that time in Honore.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22- The bakery.- He must've bought it before he came to us.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32Cordell knows he has to make one last call
0:39:32 > 0:39:34before he gives himself up.
0:39:34 > 0:39:39So he goes and buys a coffee, phones whoever it is. And then...
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Bins the phone, and he makes his way to the police station.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46That's the route you'd take from the bakery to the station.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49We need to check every bin along that route.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53Dwayne? What are you doing here?
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Well, I... I couldn't enjoy myself
0:39:55 > 0:39:58knowing my colleagues were still working on the case.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00So I came to help.
0:40:00 > 0:40:01Darlene told you to, didn't she?
0:40:01 > 0:40:03No, she didn't.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07Though she's a very intimidating woman when she wants to be.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Yeah, well, you're just in time because we need to search every bin
0:40:10 > 0:40:14- from the bakery to the police station.- Seriously? Bin duty?
0:40:14 > 0:40:15But it's my birthday!
0:40:18 > 0:40:19And you didn't see anybody at all
0:40:19 > 0:40:21while you were waiting for us to arrive?
0:40:21 > 0:40:23I would have told you if I had.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28- And there's no-one else in the house that might have seen something?- No.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31Been just me here for a few years now.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34Since my wife passed.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38I'm sorry to hear that, Mr Palmer.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Is that her over there?
0:40:42 > 0:40:44There's my Bessy.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49Well, you both look very happy.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51We were.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54You know, between us...
0:40:55 > 0:41:00..I used to be a bit of wild thing, back in the day, you know.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Different girl every night.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08But then, this one came along and something changed.
0:41:08 > 0:41:13Like, everything suddenly make sense in life.
0:41:13 > 0:41:14Of course it did.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Maybe Cordell has changed since you knew him.
0:41:19 > 0:41:23- You all right, son?- Er, yes.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26Erm, thank you, you've been very helpful.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30Come back again.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Sir!
0:41:37 > 0:41:39I got it wrong.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42I got this whole thing wrong, sir.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44- Got what wrong?- Cordell.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46All this time, sir, I was sure it was him.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49But it was like what Mr Palmer said, sir - something changed.
0:41:49 > 0:41:50You've lost me, JP.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53OK, think about everything we've learned about Cordell.
0:41:53 > 0:41:54OK, he stopped seeing his friends.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57He was spending hardly any time in his own flat.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Sir, that's what happens when you meet a girl.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03That's what I was like when I first started seeing Rosey.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05I mean, the man even got himself a job, sir!
0:42:07 > 0:42:09Cordell was settling down.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12- You mean he's got a girlfriend? - Yes, sir.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14And I think it's her he's protecting.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17All we have to do now, sir, is find out who she is.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20- Sir? Wrapped up in an old newspaper. - Good work, Detective Sergeant.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24Last number dialled was at 5:32am yesterday morning.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27- 20 minutes before Cordell handed himself in.- Someone called Marie.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31Marie? Looks like you got this right, JP.
0:42:31 > 0:42:32But who's Marie?
0:42:34 > 0:42:35The caretaker.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41OK. First we get Cordell to revoke his statement
0:42:41 > 0:42:43and tell us exactly what's gone on.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45And if we're right about this,
0:42:45 > 0:42:47then we'll have to go and arrest the girlfriend.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53I'll save you the time. You can arrest me now.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Is anybody else here getting a touch of deja vu?
0:43:00 > 0:43:02KEYS JANGLE
0:43:08 > 0:43:11Cordell? From the start of this case, I struggled to believe
0:43:11 > 0:43:14that you killed Eugene Jones.
0:43:14 > 0:43:17I thought you were covering for someone. And I was right, wasn't I?
0:43:18 > 0:43:20That's right.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23He didn't break in to Eugene's house to steal the jewellery.
0:43:23 > 0:43:25He went there to help me.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27Because I killed Eugene.
0:43:28 > 0:43:33About a week ago, Eugene did ask me to sell some stolen goods.
0:43:33 > 0:43:36But I told him no. I didn't do that any more.
0:43:37 > 0:43:39Cordell told me what happened.
0:43:39 > 0:43:41And I told him he did the right thing.
0:43:42 > 0:43:44But I know how much we could use the money.
0:43:44 > 0:43:47So I thought I could sell it myself, as a one-off.
0:43:47 > 0:43:48Cordell need never know.
0:43:48 > 0:43:51After a couple of days, I'd already sold about a quarter of the stuff.
0:43:51 > 0:43:56But then, one of the market traders told me some man was asking round.
0:43:56 > 0:43:59That he heard I was selling his stuff and he wanted it back.
0:43:59 > 0:44:01Charlie Blake was on to you.
0:44:01 > 0:44:03Apparently, he was making some nasty threats.
0:44:03 > 0:44:04So, what did you do?
0:44:06 > 0:44:07The night before last,
0:44:07 > 0:44:10I went round Eugene's to hand over the money I made.
0:44:10 > 0:44:14And I told him I was scared about this Charlie Blake.
0:44:14 > 0:44:15And he just shrugged.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18Told me I'd been careless and it was my problem.
0:44:18 > 0:44:22So I told Eugene, if he wasn't going to help me, I'll go to the police.
0:44:22 > 0:44:25- And he didn't like that? - He started shouting at me.
0:44:25 > 0:44:28I tried to leave. But he wouldn't let me.
0:44:28 > 0:44:30You know, he was holding me back. Hurting me.
0:44:30 > 0:44:34And I just wanted to get away. So I grabbed the ornament and lashed out.
0:44:34 > 0:44:35You hit him?
0:44:35 > 0:44:37I went to, but I missed.
0:44:37 > 0:44:41And he stumbled back, he fell and banged his head on the coffee table.
0:44:42 > 0:44:44And just laid there, dead.
0:44:45 > 0:44:47Which is when you went to Cordell?
0:44:48 > 0:44:53She was in a state, hysterical. She could hardly speak.
0:44:53 > 0:44:55I said not to worry.
0:44:56 > 0:44:58I'd go check it out.
0:44:59 > 0:45:03Next thing I know, I get a call from him, telling me I'm to keep quiet.
0:45:03 > 0:45:04That he's going to take the blame.
0:45:05 > 0:45:07To protect me, both of us.
0:45:10 > 0:45:11Sorry. Both of you?
0:45:18 > 0:45:20You're pregnant?
0:45:20 > 0:45:24Four months. That's why Cordell did all this.
0:45:24 > 0:45:27- To stop us going to prison. - That's why it all started?
0:45:27 > 0:45:29Why you needed the money?
0:45:29 > 0:45:32We wanted to put a deposit down on a house.
0:45:32 > 0:45:34Just wanted to do the best for our baby.
0:45:49 > 0:45:50I'm sorry, Cordell.
0:45:53 > 0:45:56Truth is, if anybody should be apologising, it's me.
0:45:57 > 0:46:00I know what I did to you all those years ago, JP.
0:46:04 > 0:46:05I get it.
0:46:05 > 0:46:07Er, we were different people back then.
0:46:11 > 0:46:16- Erm, I... I think I need some air. - Yeah.
0:46:21 > 0:46:24No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
0:46:24 > 0:46:27- Everything OK, sir?- It makes absolutely no sense.
0:46:27 > 0:46:30- What doesn't?- If Eugene banged his head on the coffee table,
0:46:30 > 0:46:32then he would have been found lying the other way around.
0:46:34 > 0:46:35And there was blood on the weapon.
0:46:35 > 0:46:38Which supposedly isn't a weapon at all.
0:46:38 > 0:46:39So how did that get there?
0:46:39 > 0:46:42And Marie said she gave Eugene the money, but we never found any.
0:46:42 > 0:46:46All we found was this lousy legume.
0:46:46 > 0:46:48And ever since, we've located not a single other nut
0:46:48 > 0:46:50anywhere during this case. Not in the victim's house,
0:46:50 > 0:46:52his restaurant, his lock-up.
0:46:53 > 0:46:57That's right. We never found any nuts in the lock-up.
0:46:57 > 0:46:59But there was a cookie jar, wasn't there?
0:46:59 > 0:47:02Except there were no cookies. Or nuts, for that matter.
0:47:02 > 0:47:04Only elastic bands.
0:47:05 > 0:47:09No cookies, no nuts, no money.
0:47:16 > 0:47:19The night before last, I went round Eugene's
0:47:19 > 0:47:21to hand over the money I made.
0:47:21 > 0:47:24We found jars of rice, pasta and beans, none with any nuts in it.
0:47:24 > 0:47:27This neighbour called up about a disturbance.
0:47:27 > 0:47:29He was putting out his rubbish just after midnight.
0:47:29 > 0:47:31I was in bed, asleep.
0:47:31 > 0:47:34I was here, cleaning up after service.
0:47:37 > 0:47:38That's it!
0:47:40 > 0:47:42Why else would a dead man be holding a peanut in his hand?
0:47:42 > 0:47:45- It makes perfect sense.- You want us to round up all the suspects?
0:47:45 > 0:47:47It would be churlish not to, Dwayne.
0:47:47 > 0:47:49And Florence, there's something I need you to do for me.
0:47:49 > 0:47:51- Sir?- I need you to go on a nut hunt.
0:47:52 > 0:47:54Um...
0:48:07 > 0:48:09Enjoying yourself, Inspector?
0:48:09 > 0:48:12Very much, Charlie. And all the more so for you being here.
0:48:12 > 0:48:14So glad you could make it.
0:48:14 > 0:48:17Now, two nights ago in this very room,
0:48:17 > 0:48:20Eugene Jones was murdered in cold blood.
0:48:22 > 0:48:24And it's important to take note of that phrase
0:48:24 > 0:48:26because that's exactly what it was.
0:48:26 > 0:48:28In cold blood.
0:48:28 > 0:48:31That night, Marie Gayle pushed Eugene Jones,
0:48:31 > 0:48:33causing him to fall and bang his head on the coffee table.
0:48:36 > 0:48:40She then turned to Cordell Thomas who, to protect the woman he loved,
0:48:40 > 0:48:43admitted to the crime himself.
0:48:43 > 0:48:45However, we've come to realise
0:48:45 > 0:48:48by the time Cordell got to the crime scene and started to clean it up,
0:48:48 > 0:48:51there were significant differences to how Marie left it.
0:48:52 > 0:48:57For a start, this ornament here had traces of Eugene's blood on it.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01If Eugene died banging his head on the coffee table,
0:49:01 > 0:49:03why was there blood on this?
0:49:07 > 0:49:10And if Eugene banged his head on the table...
0:49:11 > 0:49:14..he would've been found lying with his head here.
0:49:15 > 0:49:17So, then, why, when he was discovered,
0:49:17 > 0:49:20was he facing the opposite way, lying with his head here?
0:49:22 > 0:49:24Doesn't make any sense.
0:49:24 > 0:49:27We also know that between Marie leaving and Cordell arriving,
0:49:27 > 0:49:29a sum of money had gone missing.
0:49:29 > 0:49:31How much money was it you handed over to Eugene?
0:49:31 > 0:49:33About 10,000.
0:49:33 > 0:49:36Marie, when you gave Eugene the money you'd made, tell me,
0:49:36 > 0:49:38- where did he take it? - Into the kitchen.
0:49:38 > 0:49:41But we searched the kitchen. And we never found any money there.
0:49:41 > 0:49:44- So where did it go? - Someone took it?
0:49:44 > 0:49:48Exactly. The person who murdered Eugene Jones took it.
0:49:52 > 0:49:55And now, I can finally reveal our thief...
0:49:56 > 0:49:58..our murderer...
0:50:00 > 0:50:04..isn't one of you four in this room right now.
0:50:09 > 0:50:11It is in fact Eugene's neighbour, Samuel Palmer.
0:50:12 > 0:50:15I have a feeling that could be him right now.
0:50:15 > 0:50:17- DOOR CLOSES - Where's Samuel?
0:50:17 > 0:50:19He wasn't there, sir.
0:50:19 > 0:50:21All his clothes are gone, and so is the money.
0:50:21 > 0:50:23Dwayne, JP. Alert all the ports and search his house,
0:50:23 > 0:50:26- see if you can find any clues as to where he might be going.- Yes, Chief.
0:50:29 > 0:50:31Lost your culprit, Inspector?
0:50:31 > 0:50:34I don't understand. How could Samuel kill Eugene?
0:50:34 > 0:50:36- It was me that pushed him. - Well, from the outset,
0:50:36 > 0:50:39everything that Cordell told us made sense of the crime scene.
0:50:39 > 0:50:40Except for one thing -
0:50:40 > 0:50:46this peanut we found in the victim's closed right hand.
0:50:46 > 0:50:48So what was it doing there?
0:50:48 > 0:50:51Well, I think you'll find the answer lies in that kitchen
0:50:51 > 0:50:52with the missing money.
0:50:52 > 0:50:56All these jars full of rice and pasta, beans, flour.
0:50:56 > 0:50:58None of them contain nuts.
0:50:58 > 0:51:02So, we assumed that Eugene never had any nuts in the house.
0:51:04 > 0:51:06But once I knew something had gone missing,
0:51:06 > 0:51:08specifically, a stash of cash...
0:51:09 > 0:51:12..well, then, maybe Eugene's jar of peanuts had gone missing as well.
0:51:12 > 0:51:15We found it in Mr Palmer's house.
0:51:15 > 0:51:18In the cupboard, underneath his sink.
0:51:18 > 0:51:21And just as a cookie jar can contain nothing but elastic bands,
0:51:21 > 0:51:25so too a jar of peanuts can contain a big load of money.
0:51:26 > 0:51:29This is where Eugene kept his cash.
0:51:30 > 0:51:32In this tube, secreted amongst the nuts.
0:51:34 > 0:51:37And this is where he put the 10,000 dollars that you gave him, Marie.
0:51:37 > 0:51:40And ultimately, this is what Samuel killed him for.
0:51:43 > 0:51:46So, here is the final version
0:51:46 > 0:51:48of what happened the night of the murder.
0:51:48 > 0:51:52Shortly after midnight, Eugene's neighbour,
0:51:52 > 0:51:55Samuel, he heard arguing, so like the good neighbour he was,
0:51:55 > 0:51:57he came over to investigate.
0:51:57 > 0:51:59On hearing a fairly serious fight taking place,
0:51:59 > 0:52:02he returned to his own house and he called the police.
0:52:02 > 0:52:03Police, please!
0:52:03 > 0:52:06Now, while he was doing that, Marie here,
0:52:06 > 0:52:09who Samuel had heard arguing with Eugene, panicked
0:52:09 > 0:52:11and fled to her boyfriend, Cordell.
0:52:11 > 0:52:13Knowing that the police were on their way,
0:52:13 > 0:52:15I believe that Samuel came back over here
0:52:15 > 0:52:18to see if things had calmed down a bit. And finding the door open,
0:52:18 > 0:52:22he came inside and there was Eugene's body lying on the floor.
0:52:22 > 0:52:24What happened? Who did this?
0:52:24 > 0:52:26I can only assume while looking for a first-aid kit,
0:52:26 > 0:52:30he came across the opened jar of nuts with the money inside.
0:52:30 > 0:52:33Hard to resist the temptation, so he took it.
0:52:33 > 0:52:35And nobody would've known.
0:52:35 > 0:52:37Except Eugene came around!
0:52:37 > 0:52:39And he saw Samuel with his money.
0:52:41 > 0:52:42Must've been furious.
0:52:42 > 0:52:44So he tried to stop him from taking it.
0:52:44 > 0:52:47I'm guessing Samuel knew that Eugene would tell the police
0:52:47 > 0:52:50that he'd tried to steal it. He didn't want to go to prison.
0:52:50 > 0:52:51He just wanted the money.
0:52:51 > 0:52:54So, seeing the ornament on the floor,
0:52:54 > 0:52:57he picked it up and he hit him.
0:52:57 > 0:52:58Clever fella that he was...
0:53:00 > 0:53:02..he hit him in exactly the same place
0:53:02 > 0:53:04Eugene had already been injured.
0:53:07 > 0:53:10The trail would lead back to the original assailant.
0:53:11 > 0:53:15In theory, nobody would ever have known that he was here.
0:53:15 > 0:53:19Which is entirely what happened, except for one thing.
0:53:21 > 0:53:24While Samuel was busy shoving the spilled nuts and the...
0:53:24 > 0:53:28And the cash back into the jar, your brother, in his last dying moment,
0:53:28 > 0:53:30put his hand around this.
0:53:31 > 0:53:35The one piece of evidence we had for the entire case that made no sense.
0:53:35 > 0:53:39But ultimately - please excuse the pun here -
0:53:39 > 0:53:41it cracked it wide open for us.
0:53:42 > 0:53:44Mm.
0:53:46 > 0:53:48So, I take it you're done with me now?
0:53:48 > 0:53:51We are indeed, Charlie. It's been an absolute pleasure.
0:53:55 > 0:53:57Sorry you didn't get your man, Inspector.
0:53:58 > 0:54:02So, what happens now?
0:54:02 > 0:54:05Well, you'll be facing charges, the pair of you.
0:54:05 > 0:54:07But I would hope that a forgiving judge
0:54:07 > 0:54:09will take your situation into account.
0:54:10 > 0:54:12Thank you.
0:54:15 > 0:54:16JP, how are you getting on?
0:54:16 > 0:54:18Well, sir, I'm afraid there's nothing in here
0:54:18 > 0:54:21that indicates where Mr Palmer might be.
0:54:21 > 0:54:24No address book or laptop. No mobile phone.
0:54:24 > 0:54:26- Nothing.- Chief! - I've got the harbour master.
0:54:26 > 0:54:29He said a man fitting Samuel Palmer's description
0:54:29 > 0:54:32was seen carrying two suitcases and paying a fishermen to use his boat.
0:54:32 > 0:54:34He's heading to one of the other islands.
0:54:34 > 0:54:37- Any chance we could catch him?- I've spoken to the other port authority.
0:54:37 > 0:54:39He's heading that way, so he shouldn't get far.
0:54:39 > 0:54:41- Thanks, Dwayne. Good work. - Chief. Harry!
0:54:41 > 0:54:43Well, I guess that's all we can do for now.
0:55:00 > 0:55:04Hm, I guess his wild days aren't over just yet.
0:55:04 > 0:55:06Eh, Bessy?
0:55:17 > 0:55:19ENGINE REVS
0:55:19 > 0:55:23So, I was thinking if you were free
0:55:23 > 0:55:25and fancied coming over later for a beer,
0:55:25 > 0:55:27we could make a start at putting the past behind us.
0:55:30 > 0:55:32I'd like that.
0:55:46 > 0:55:48- Darlene just texted me.- Oh, yes?
0:55:48 > 0:55:51She's doing my birthday all over again.
0:55:51 > 0:55:53Wow!
0:55:53 > 0:55:56That's a really great woman you got there, Dwayne.
0:55:57 > 0:55:59Yeah. I know.
0:56:02 > 0:56:08# Better days are coming by and by
0:56:08 > 0:56:10OK! Muah!
0:56:10 > 0:56:16# Don't you get down-hearted, don't you cry
0:56:18 > 0:56:24# Troubles will be over, all our joys come over
0:56:25 > 0:56:32# Better days are coming by and by
0:56:32 > 0:56:35# Don't you know better days are coming...
0:56:35 > 0:56:39- DOORBELL RINGS - # ..by and by
0:56:39 > 0:56:41Hurry back, you know!
0:56:41 > 0:56:47# Don't you get down-hearted, don't you cry...
0:56:49 > 0:56:51- Dwayne.- Hmm?
0:56:51 > 0:56:53- There's someone here to see you.- Me?
0:56:56 > 0:56:57Hello, son.
0:57:00 > 0:57:02# ..by and by! #
0:57:03 > 0:57:05Blessed love to you all.
0:57:05 > 0:57:08- Everything all right? - It's Billy. He's not answering.
0:57:09 > 0:57:11Billy's wife was murdered 30 years ago.
0:57:11 > 0:57:13We never caught the person that did it.
0:57:13 > 0:57:15- What's he doing here? - Is everything OK with Dwayne?
0:57:15 > 0:57:18I think his dad being around is bothering him
0:57:18 > 0:57:19more than he'd like to admit.
0:57:19 > 0:57:21I need for us to put this right.
0:57:21 > 0:57:23We will, sir. We will.
