MAN SCREAMS | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
Police, please! | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
-Are you the person who called us? -Yes! | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
Sounded like all hell was breaking loose in there. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
-Oh, yeah? -Uh-huh. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
-Dwayne? -What? | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
There's definitely someone inside. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
-We know you're in there! Open up! -Dwayne, wait, wait! -What? | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
-There's someone on the floor. I think he's hurt. -Eh? | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
Stand back from the door! | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
He's dead. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:08 | |

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

-Dwayne. -Hmm? | 0:56:49 | 0:56:51 | |
-There's someone here to see you. -Me? | 0:56:51 | 0:56:53 | |

-Everything all right? -It's Billy. He's not answering. | 0:57:05 | 0:57:08 | |
Billy's wife was murdered 30 years ago. | 0:57:09 | 0:57:11 | |
We never caught the person that did it. | 0:57:11 | 0:57:13 | |
-What's he doing here? -Is everything OK with Dwayne? | 0:57:13 | 0:57:15 | |
I think his dad being around is bothering him | 0:57:15 | 0:57:18 | |
more than he'd like to admit. | 0:57:18 | 0:57:19 | |
I need for us to put this right. | 0:57:19 | 0:57:21 | |
We will, sir. We will. | 0:57:21 | 0:57:23 |
