Agh!

Excellent!

Jonny's made some new friends. Cockroaches, always a winner.

OK, Dale?

They're, um... They're nearing the zip line.

Received. Lifting off now. Over.

Good, and don't mess this up, fly boy.

Muppet.

Right, bets on, guys.

Who's going to get the key to our treasure chest?

Agh!

Ouch. Yeah, that doesn't look good.

Chaz?

- Are you OK? Can I help? - I'm fine.

It's not over yet.

Hey, it is now.

Unlucky, Chaz.

Lise, can you pick up super-mum? She's done.

She's... She's cooked.

I really thought she'd have this in the bag.

But make sure you make it back for the, um, winner's ceremony.

I really want to see Chaz crying

while Jonny cracks open that champagne.

Already on it, Rick. You want taking over to the finish line?

Over. Er, no, no.

No, I'll make my own way there.

Copy that.

Good. OK, I'm heading out. Any surprises, let me know.

Let's go, baby!

Stand by. He's about to make his descent, guys.

Island Warrior!

I'm following him on the drone.

Lost sight of Jonny behind the trees.

Should pick him up in a moment.

OK, got eyeball on him.

Wait, something's wrong.

Guys?

Er, Rick, we've got a situation.

What's going on?

Get the medic down there now!

That don't look good. Let's go, let's go.

Right, everybody...

- Where's the medic? - I can see him.

Guys, we need help down here.

Can someone get the medic down there now, please?

I... I think he's dead.

Like it was never even broken.

He should be back in London by now.

I do hope the next inspector won't be quite as impatient.

Or impolite.

Hmm! Or just, you know... rude.

Let's hope so.

It's just a three-month gig.

I don't see anything in the small print

that says I have to stay beyond that.

It's a standard temporary contract.

Once completed, you are free to go.

Or stay, if you change your...

Nice try, Commissioner.

I just need a bit more time

to do some digging into... my mother's accident.

Which we need to talk about.

Once that's done and dusted, I am...

Ah! Outta here. Mm?

Exactly.

Something you've said to me now a handful of times.

Three more months, then it's bye-bye, DI Wilson.

Clear?

Crystal.

I mean it.

And I believe you.

Excuse me.

Officer Curtis, how can I help?

I see.

Well... that is good timing.

You have your first official case.

So, the victim was a contestant.

Jonny Feldon, aged 32.

They're filming a game show called Island Warrior.

Cause of death is a single knife wound to the abdomen,

2 cm wide.

Paramedics reckon it's pretty deep.

Get this.

He was only going down a zip line when it happened.

Mr Feldon disappeared from view behind those trees down there.

When he reappeared near the bottom,

he was dead.

Excuse me. Hi.

- DS Thomas? - Yes.

I'm Lisa, the runner.

I've got a DI Mervin Wilson.

Says he wants to speak with you.

That's a joke, right?

You're joking.

Inspector?

At last. What took you so long?

What are you...? Why are you...?

I thought you flew back to London, sir.

No, I'm still here, for my sins.

The good news is, I'm going to be your new DI.

Just signed a three-month contract.

That's not what I call good news.

I heard that, Officer Curtis.

Sorry, I still had my finger pressed on it.

Da-da-da-da!

I just meant that, um...

It's not good news for you, Inspector.

You do seem to hate it here.

No, I don't hate it here, just don't love it.

Well, thank you for the clarification, sir.

Look, I'm at the production base,

but I'm going to be heading down

to where it looks like the victim was stabbed,

so I need you and Officer Curtis

to meet me there with a crime scene kit, yeah?

Received, sir. Over.

Thanks.

OK.

Show me.

I had eyes on Jonny

all the way down the wire until here,

where he disappears behind the trees.

He was out of sight for about 40 seconds or so.

And then we switched to the XZ360

for the arrival shot.

Um... in English.

It's a small remote fixed camera

at the landing platform.

So, right in the middle

of you filming your TV game show,

someone murders one of your contestants?

Mm.

I mean, it's audacious,

to say the least. Yeah.

Can you think of a reason why someone

would want to kill Mr Feldon,

and in such a visible manner?

Oh, sorry. This...

Um, sorry, this is the network.

They're currently holding crisis talks, so actually I...

Mr Mayhew, the only talks you need to be having right now

are with me.

Right.

OK.

Um, no, I can't think why anybody would want to do this.

He was a terrific contestant, salt of the earth.

He was going to donate the prize money

to a cancer charity. His mum has cancer, so...

Yeah, it's true.

He was the sweetest guy. Yeah.

Oh, sorry, that's Chaz.

She's the, um... She was the other finalist.

I honestly don't know why anyone

would wanna do this to him.

Sorry.

They're just going to keep ringing and ringing,

so I do really need to take this. Are we...?

Are we done here?

For now. OK.

Inspector.

Welcome back. Again.

OK, so let me get this straight.

Our killer climbed all the way up there,

waited for Jonny to come past on the zip wire,

and stabbed him.

Well, the bush here has been flattened,

and those look like scuff marks.

Also, we found this knife, which is a match for the wound.

I assumed it must have fallen out of the killer's pocket

as they were climbing back down the tree.

I'll dust for prints back at the station.

- What's that? - What's what?

Glove.

Please.

Progress, Inspector.

Well done.

There's something else down here,

near to where you found the knife.

It's a pearl.

Can't tell if it's real or not.

Looks like it snapped off something.

Actually, I think it's an earring.

All right, Officer Curtis,

I want statements from everyone involved in the filming -

crew and contestants.

We know the victim was stabbed at 8.40,

so find out where everyone was at that time.

And wherever the victim was staying,

that needs searching as well.

Oh, and find out who's missing a pearl earring.

And I'll go and do all of that on my own some, shall I?

Ah.

We need to speak to the Commissioner,

see if he's found a new recruit yet,

especially now we have a murder to investigate.

Police Officer Sebastian Rose

completed the Pan-Caribbean training scheme

shortly before Officer Brice,

but he has yet to find a placement.

That's him... there.

Sorry, which guy?

Er, the one handing out the leaflets.

The one dressed as a pineapple? You're joking, right?

He's the new officer?

Rest assured, he won't be dressed as a pineapple

when he's on duty.

I interviewed him at the same time as Officer Brice.

He wasn't my first choice,

but I think there's potential there.

It just needs teasing out a bit.

We got all the fruits. We have mango, watermelon,

so treat yourself to a Sunnytown smoothie.

Look, we got all the flavours,

from groovy guava to poppin' pineapple.

Yes.

Ah, Commissioner Patterson!

This is Detective Inspector Mervin Wilson.

Sebastian Rose. It's an honour to meet you,

Detective Inspector Mervin Wilson.

Just "Inspector" is fine.

I've never met, like, an actual living detective before.

I mean, it's cool. You must be, like, you know,

proper, "Whoa, I'm a detective."

No. Commissioner, are you sure this is a good idea?

Officer Rose, you may not be aware,

but the young man

we'd previously offered the position to...

Benjamin, you mean.

I heard.

I mean, it's awful.

Poor guy.

I never met him, but I heard really good things.

It means we are looking to fill the position again

and I... On a provisional basis.

Right? Sorry,

you're offering me the job?

I am. There is an initial probation period

of three months, starting tomorrow.

And it is provisional.

All right.

You can count me in, man.

I mean... Commissioner. Sorry.

This is amazing.

Thank you,

Detective Inspector Wilson.

Really, just "Inspector" is fine.

Whatever you say. I mean, you're the boss, right?

Literally!

And I promise you, I won't let you down.

Yeah!

Yes, I! Yes!

You seem troubled, Inspector.

Troubled?

Me?

No.

Everything's brilliant.

So, our victim, Jonny Feldon, is from Liverpool.

Started running marathons in his '20s

and donating the money to cancer charities.

And you think one of these four killed him?

Well, they're the only ones that can't be alibied

at the time Jonny disappeared from view

on the zip line and was stabbed.

The producer, the rival contestant,

camera operator and the runner.

All the other crew members have been accounted for.

But these four were elsewhere, out of sight of anyone else?

We know Jonny started his descent on the zip line

at 8.39...

...was stabbed halfway down at 8.40,

and then reached the landing platform at 8.41.

Took him a total of two minutes from top to bottom

but the thing is,

while our four suspects can be alibied

at the time of the murder,

they all got back to the landing platform by 8.43.

This camera was left filming,

and two minutes after Jonny's body reached it,

there's Dale arriving,

closely followed by Chaz...

...Lisa and then Rick.

But if one of these four...

...climbed a tree to stab Jonny coming down the zip line -

here -

it's going to take way more than two minutes for them

to climb back dawn again,

make their way through dense jungle,

to end up at the landing platform here.

When we walked it, it took us half an hour.

Even if we'd run,

it would still take us at least 20 minutes.

So how can it be

that one of these four did it?

Of all the elaborate ways to murder someone...

And all during the filming of a TV show.

Why do it like that?

Why make it so difficult?

And why do it so publicly?

Chief Commissioner, this is a surprise.

Commissioner Patterson,

any chance we can meet tomorrow?

Yes, I can make myself available tomorrow.

I'll get a flight over first thing.

Great, thanks.

Um, are you able to give me

some indication of what it's about?

Let's discuss it when you get here.

O-Of course.

We'll talk tomorrow.

Night, Inspector.

Night, sir. Yeah. Uh-huh.

Commissioner. You got a minute?

My mum's accident. I'm keen to start doing some digging.

And as I made clear,

I want us to meet and discuss it properly.

Is now good? Or tomorrow, first thing?

No, now is not good.

Tomorrow I have a meeting over in Jamaica,

and you have a murder case to investigate,

if you've forgotten. Yeah, yeah,

I know, but I can always find the time...

My secretary will contact you in due course,

and we will set something up.

Good evening, Inspector.

Miss Clemetson?

It's Dl Wilson from Saint Marie Police.

I know you were a good friend of my mother.

Can I come and have a chat?

Evening, Miss Clemetson.

Thank you for agreeing to speak with me.

But I don't understand.

I thought Dorna's death was an accident.

Are you now saying it's murder?

If I can come in, I can explain.

Morning... sir?

Er, laundry day?

I got a mate of mine

to send some more stuff from London,

seeing as I'm going to be staying here a bit longer.

But most of it's got creased in transit...

...and the humidity doesn't help.

You're...

...really good at this, sir. You don't...

...fancy doing some of mine, do you?

No.

Is that the postmortem?

Confirms Jonny Feldon died from a single stab wound

that pierced his kidney.

And the blood on the knife matches the victim's,

but no fingerprints.

You know, finding that knife at the crime scene

is feeling increasingly fishy to me.

The killer seems to have accidentally dropped it

but conveniently left no prints on it.

You think they wanted us to find it?

Maybe. It just doesn't seem right.

And that broken pearl earring -

what was that doing in the exact same place?

He looks happy.

I thought he was seeing the Chief in Jamaica.

Is there a problem, Commissioner?

Brianna Clemetson has just called me,

asking if it is true

we are investigating the murder of her friend and neighbour.

I didn't use the word murder. Inspector,

that you are unofficially investigating

your mother's accident

is in itself hugely problematic.

Yeah, but I'm not invest... And...

...the fact that you have already chosen

to go behind my back doesn't help matters.

From now on, you will do nothing without my say-so.

And I want DS Thomas across this as well.

Right. Uh, what is this exac...

Doesn't matter, we can do me later, you carry on.

I have a plane I need to catch.

I have so many questions.

The pineapple has landed.

Sorry?

The new recruit? Yes, sir.

Officer Seb Rose.

But you two have already met, I believe.

Good morning, Inspector!

Just "Inspector", right?

I made a mental note to myself.

Good for you.

And this is Detective Sergeant Naomi Thomas.

Welcome to the team.

It's cool to be here,

like a dream-come-true kind of cool.

So I gave Seb the case file to read,

so he's fully up to speed.

Yes, I am, totally up to speed.

Although, I mean,

I've not finished reading through it yet, but I will.

I'm just quite a slow reader.

Don't you worry about it. It's your first day.

A lot to take in.

But from what I've read, I mean, this guy,

being stabbed on a zip wire...

Always wanted to go on a zip wire.

OK, so let's go over what we know already.

Officer Curtis?

So, I made a start in collecting information

on our suspects,

and I have also requested financial checks.

Stupid heat!

Um...

Whatever you were saying, carry on.

Just that Seb and I are about to go over

to the hotel where the crew are staying,

search the victim's bedroom.

The first search! Exciting!

DS Thomas has brought me up-to-date with the postmortem.

Nothing surprising there.

And toxicology shows that the victim

had a significant amount of painkillers in his system.

I checked with the crew medic, and he was taking them...

...for his knee injury

he sustained earlier in the competition.

The person who interests me is Chaz Simons.

Tell me about her.

She's a PE teacher from Reading,

recently divorced,

has an eight-year-old daughter,

and she was frontrunner on the show.

You know what bothers me most about this murder case?

For the killer's plan to work,

Jonny Feldon would have to get to that zip line first,

which does make me wonder if Miss Simons was in on it.

Or someone made sure she'd lose.

Actually, Inspector,

there's something else a bit fishy about Miss Simons.

I recovered CCTV

from outside the production office.

Ah. Um...

Chaz has hurt her right ankle,

but look when she gets out of the vehicle.

She forgets herself and puts pressure on it.

Doesn't even flinch.

She's faking the injury.

So Chaz did throw the final.

Hey, Chaz. Hey.

How are you feeling?

We saw the footage of the fall.

It's nasty.

I did my own ankle in once. Painful, right?

Yeah. It wasn't pleasant,

but they've got me properly dosed up,

so I'm doing all right.

So you're sticking to the lie, then?

Sorry?

How about we get an independent doctor

to check out that ankle?

I mean, if that's what you want.

Really? Cos we can get a guy out here in, what, 20 minutes?

I'd say less than that, sir. He's already on standby, so...

You want us to make the call?

I really don't think there's any need to.

No, it's no trouble.

All right, fine.

Rick told me to throw the final, all right? Rick.

But I swear I didn't know Jonny was going to get killed.

OK.

Now we're getting somewhere.

Why did Rick ask you to do that?

He said he had no choice,

that the bosses wanted Jonny to be the winner.

He had a better... What do you call it? Backstory.

So Rick offered me 25 grand, same as the prize money,

and told me to take a tumble.

So, money is all you wanted?

I mean, if that's the case, you could have just

ignored Rick and won.

Rick told me if I didn't do it, he'd destroy me in the edit,

make me look petty and jealous.

This isn't my world, Inspector.

He was the producer. How could I say no?

And my little girl, she was so excited

about seeing her mum on the telly.

So that's what all this is about?

Rick wanted Jonny to win

because it liked better on screen?

Miss Simons...

...is there something else?

I overheard Jonny talking to his lawyer on the phone.

He was angry.

Something about his knee injury.

It's his shoot, he's responsible!

He can't just fob me off with painkillers!

I'll look into it.

You getting on all right with the logging?

Doing it just like they taught us in training,

trying not to mess up.

Well, we can't ask much more than that, now, can we?

So how did you find training?

It was amazing, like, the best thing ever.

I mean, I was better at some things than others,

but we've all got our strengths and weaknesses, right?

I've always been a more practical, physical

kind of guy, you know?

Less keen on the paperwork side of things.

Well, you know there's quite a lot of paperwork

when you're a police officer?

Oh, yeah, of course,

and I've got very good at muddling my way through

that sort of thing, so don't you worry.

I guess what I'm trying to say is,

when chasing the bad guys,

I am totally your man, Darlene.

Officer Curtis.

Well, that's good to know.

Now, what's this?

What's what?

There's something in Jonny's socks.

Oh, this is just like the movies.

Well, not the sucks so much,

the secret clue part.

Oh. A memory stick.

And if the victim didn't want anybody finding it,

then maybe...

There must be something of relevance to the murder case

on it.

Bag it, log it, and we'll take a look at it

when we get back to the station.

Amazing!

No, of course I don't want to talk to him.

And, anyway, how did he know?

Well, could you find that out for me, please?

Thank you.

Simpleton!

So, some joker has just leaked the details of the murder

to the press, so now the vultures are circling.

It's an absolute disaster.

This whole thing is a...

Well, it... It's a mess.

And it's about to get messier. Why didn't you tell us

that you'd paid Chaz Simons to throw the final?

OK, look, I had to do what was best for the show.

Look, Chaz is a sweetheart, but Jonny has the better story.

I'm sorry to say it, but a sick mum, just...

It plays... better.

So, yeah, I made sure he won,

and I'm pretty sure that isn't a crime, is it?

Bribery in the workplace?

Absolutely it's a crime.

You didn't know that? What?

Thing is, I don't buy this Jonny backstory.

You see, DS Thomas spoke to Mr Feldon's lawyer.

Turns out he was threatening to take you to court

for... negligence?

That leg injury he had,

that was down to an accident on set,

one that could have been avoided.

According to the lawyer,

"To cut costs, the full health and safety checks"

"weren't carried out."

On your watch.

So Jonny could have ruined you if that came out.

OK. What, and you think his death

has solved all that for me, do you?

Are you joking me? Take a look around!

All my investors have just pulled out.

The tabloids are now sniffing around,

and the show that I've spent years

developing and working on will now never be aired on TV.

So things aren't looking particularly rosy for me,

are they? Tell me, Mr Mayhew,

what's the insurance situation for you right now?

Insuran...? Well, I...

Well, I don't know, I'd have to look into it.

What, you haven't already? No!

And I'm curious to know, now Jonny's been murdered,

if you stand to get a hefty pay-out...

...which you wouldn't be getting

if he was still around to sue you.

All right. Thank you so much for your help.

So, I have just spoken to the insurance company.

The policy the production would have taken out

would have covered murder.

So Rick Mayhew

definitely had motive.

But they also said

it is not the first accident reported on set.

They reckon it's a cursed production.

But if it was Rick, then how?

How did he manage to stab Jonny Feldon here,

where we found the knife and the pearl,

and then make it all the way back to here,

arriving on camera two minutes later?

It doesn't make sense. It can't be done.

Maybe this whole negligence thing

has something to do with the memory stick

you found earlier. Officer Rose,

the memory stick from Jonny's bungalow?

Let's have it.

Sure thing. Coming right at ya.

I mean, it's in here somewhere.

Definitely has to be in here somewhere, I mean...

Seb, what have you done with it?

I bagged it.

I am sure I bagged it. And I logged it as well.

Look, right there.

And after that, what did you do?

I don't believe this.

Look, um, why don't Seb and I

go back to the hotel and see if it's there?

It has to be somewhere, right?

Look, I'm really sorry about this,

but I... Seb!

Inspector, I know I bagged it, and I know I...

Come on!

So...

...if we're finishing for the evening,

I was just wondering if you'd want to...

Well, I know you don't, but I think you should,

or we should... Spit it out, DS Thomas.

Do you want to talk about your mother?

I'm really sorry, sir.

Losing your mother

before you even got to know her, that's...

There's no need for you to feel sorry.

Just how it is.

Ah, Commissioner. How was your flight?

It's been a long day.

Can I get you a drink?

No. Thank you.

I've brought DS Thomas up to speed with my mother...

I mean, the Dorna Bray case.

And what are your thoughts on it?

I guess I'm just curious to know

why the Inspector thinks her death might be suspicious.

As am I, Inspector.

Look, the day Dorna drowned,

according to the file,

she'd headed out to sea to scatter her father's ashes.

But I've done some digging,

and I found out that Dorna's father,

before he retired, he was a fisherman.

Had been all his life, from what I know.

Right. So, if Dorna grew up around boats and fishing,

what was she doing heading out to sea with a storm coming?

She would know to check the weather, right?

Well, doesn't that strike you as odd?

With respect, sir,

that feels... tenuous.

To say the least.

It was probably an emotional day for her,

scattering her father's ashes.

Maybe she didn't think to check the weather.

But even if there was more to it,

what do you think happened? Miss Bray

was alone on that boat, at sea,

in the middle of a storm.

How could anyone have killed her like that?

I don't know.

I don't. But if there is the... the smallest chance

that someone did, well,

I can't not look into it, can I?

Er, what's happened here?

I don't know, Inspector.

I just arrived and this is what I found.

So it's pineapple boy.

Seb.

You want to tell us what's been going on?

Oh, um, right.

Yeah, so, firstly, good morning, everyone,

and welcome to day two of the Seb Rose experience.

Just a joke.

So, um...

I was feeling really bad yesterday,

about the whole missing evidence thing,

and I wanted to try and put things right.

OK.

And I remembered something that saying, you know?

"If you can't find something,"

"try and remember where you last had it."

And I did.

And I know I definitely put it in the sidecar

with the other pieces of evidence.

Which means, if I put it there,

someone must have taken it.

Which also means, for someone to do that,

you must have left it unattended. Right?

Let's not focus too much on that right now, Inspector.

But, um, you dusted the sidecar for prints?

Yes. I did.

I mean, it took ages. All night, to be honest.

Did you get a match?

Yes, I did.

Somewhere.

So who took it, Officer Rose?

Who took the memory stick?

What's going on? What are you doing?

Mr Buckingham. Just the man.

You can't come in here and just go through my stuff.

You got a warrant?

It's not your room, it's the hotel's

and they gave us permission, so...

We found the memory stick

that you stole from our officer's vehicle.

And we know what's on it.

This is footage from your drone,

filming Jonny and Lisa.

We won't watch the rest.

We've seen all of it, and so have you.

Right, I, um...

What?

Never done that before.

Oh? Filmed people without their knowledge?

It's not a habit?

Cos if there's more... No, there isn't,

all right? I swear.

It was the first time. So why did you do it?

I don't know why I find it so hard to...

You know, getting... Getting with someone.

Film shoots, you know,

people are hooking up all the time but...

...it's just not... It just doesn't happen for me.

So, hang on.

You didn't manage to pull, so you did this instead?

It wasn't like that. Lisa, I liked her,

and we'd been getting close, you know,

helping each other out on set.

And, I thought it was going somewhere.

Next thing I know, she and Jonny were getting close.

You felt jealous.

Yeah.

And you really liked her.

So it was revenge, doing this?

I just wanted more... of her.

You understand that, right? No, I don't, at all.

And let's be clear.

You will be arrested and charged for this.

You understand that, right?

So Jonny Feldon found out what you'd done

and confronted you about it, and took the memory stick.

I don't know how he found out, but he did, yeah.

The morning of the final, he came and, um...

Yeah, he wasn't best pleased.

You filmed us? You are sick, you know that, right?

You do surprise me.

And did he threaten to go to the police,

get you arrested, get you sacked?

He said he was going to speak to Rick

as soon as we wrapped.

Which would mean your career as a camera operator was over.

And that gives you motive to stab Mr...

No... No, no, no, no. I didn't kill him.

All right? Look, I was ready

to be handed my marching orders,

have the handcuffs slapped on me for what I'd done,

but then the next thing I know Jonny's hanging

from that zip wire... dead.

So how come Lisa Bulmer

never told us she and Jonny were an item?

That's a very good question, DS Thomas.

And there was a lot of talk in that video,

when they weren't... you know.

And towards the end,

that didn't look like pillow talk to me.

More like a row.

Any chance we can get a lip-reader

to look at the footage and get a transcript?

When they're talking, obviously, not when they're...

I definitely don't want to read that.

Seb, honey? Yeah?

I'm over here.

I know.

Seb! What?

Look at me when I'm talking to you!

Sorry, Officer Curtis.

I'm all ears and eyes.

Go.

I'm just curious to know how it was

you left the evidence unattended.

Oh, right.

Yeah, so like I told you, I put it all in the sidecar.

You were on your phone, weren't you?

And when you weren't looking,

the memory stick went and got stolen.

I think maybe...

That must have been what happened.

It's just, you see, I have this group chat thing going on.

Firming up a beach party on the weekend.

It's going to be mad and...

That's not making it sound any better, is it?

All right, look...

I've got a...

...a fidgety brain, you know?

Not so good at focusing on what's right in front of me.

Always moving on to the next thing

and the next thing and...

I guess that's why I'm not so good

at the paperwork side of things.

Well, you know what?

At least we know what we're working with,

so now we can keep an eye on it.

Both of us together.

Hmm. And let me tell you something else.

It was smart what you did

when you went and dusted the sidecar for fingerprints.

I was impressed.

You were? Very!

Hey-hey!

Well, if you was impressed by that,

just wait till you need some criminals chasing.

I am so your guy.

Seriously. I can run faster than anybody I know.

For real!

Ah, Inspector.

The transcript has come in from Dale's drone footage.

Give me the headlines.

Lisa Bulmer is not just a runner.

She got a job working for the TV show

because she has a score she wants to settle.

Hmm! And you'll never guess what she was up to.

Do you have history with your boss, Rick Mayhew?

No, I'd never met him before the shoot.

Well, I know he thinks that,

but we know otherwise, don't we?

I really don't know what you mean.

We know you told Jonny Feldon

about your past, about how you believe

Rick Mayhew stole your idea for Island Warrior

without crediting you or paying you any money for it.

We also know you only came here to try and sabotage the show.

You're not denying that?

You don't look particularly surprised

by that allegation.

You just look guilty.

I was at a networking event, two years ago.

I got chatting to Rick

and I pitched my idea to him.

Everything he's been filming this last month

is exactly what I pitched.

Same format, same location.

And what was his response when you pitched your idea?

He just shrugged, shook his head and told me

it's not what the channels are looking for.

Next thing I hear it's been green-lit

and they're in pre-production on it.

Did you not confront Mr Mayhew about it?

There was no proof I had the idea first,

or I tried to sell it to him.

Didn't write it down.

So you applied for a job as a runner,

taking a chance Rick wouldn't remember you

after two years, and came here for revenge?

There's been a lot of accidents on this shoot,

including Jonny Feldon's knee injury.

That's your doing.

No, you can't prove that.

Actually, yes, we can.

Sorry to disappoint,

but we've got a recording of a conversation

you had with Jonny two days before he was murdered.

A recording? I 'll...

I'll talk to you about that in a moment.

In that recording, you opened up to him

about why you were here and the damage you'd done.

You caused the accidents to get back at Rick.

Rick stole my show.

Lisa, what do you mean?

He deserves everything he's going to get.

But Jonny didn't react the way you expected, did he?

He was so angry

that I could have spoiled his chances of winning.

You were behind all of it? My leg, it was because of you.

Jonny, just... You need help, Lisa. Just go.

Getting that money for his mum...

And how did that make you feel? Sharing your secret with Jonny

only to have him throw it back in your face?

And now you'd opened up to him,

you must have been worried about what he was going to do

with that information.

Are you saying that I killed him cos of this?

Plus the fact that his death

has achieved everything you wanted.

It's destroyed Rick's TV show.

Your revenge is now complete.

No... No, no, no.

Look, I know how this looks.

I know how I look. But I'm not a... a...

I wouldn't do this.

OK? I swear to you, I didn't murder Jonny.

Even if she did do it,

we come back to the same problem.

It's just not possible for her, or any of the suspects,

to have stabbed Jonny

in the middle of the jungle on a zip line,

and then get back to the landing platform

within a couple of minutes.

So what do we do?

I tell you what I want to do.

I want to see it in action.

Officer Rose!

Yes, sir.

Fancy stretching your legs?

Say what?

I need you to do a bit of running.

I think this might just be your moment, honey.

Officer Rose, are you ready? Over.

Let's do this thing.

I mean, standing by. Over.

Seb, honey, you wait for the Inspector's go.

Copy that.

Inspector? Are you ready? Over.

You know, in London

we never have to deal with this sort of thing,

zip lines and jungle and crumpled clothes.

I mean, is this thing even risk-assessed?

Inspector,

this was your idea, so quit your moaning.

Standing by. Over and out.

On your marks...

Get set...

Go!

This really isn't fun.

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.

People actually pay to do this?

Go, go, go! That's a go.

Eight minutes and 42 seconds.

Honey, I was very impressed.

Told you. Fastest guy I know.

Not fast enough.

You arrived six minutes after I did.

All four of our suspects

managed to get back in just two.

Oh...

And that doesn't factor in the time

it took to climb back dawn the tree after stabbing Jonny.

So how did our killer murder our victim

before arriving back at the landing platform

in just a couple of minutes?

It's not possible.

There has to be more to it.

And what about this?

What is a pearl earring doing at a crime scene?

It might not be connected in any way, sir.

I mean, it could just happen to be there.

That is a possibility.

We don't even know if it's an earring for sure.

It could be something else.

You're right.

It could be something else.

And if it is...

Cause of death is a single knife wound

to the abdomen, 2 cm wide.

Do you think they wanted us to find it?

That could explain the how.

Of all the elaborate ways to murder someone...

And all during the filming

of a TV show. The victim had

a significant amount of painkillers

in his system.

Island Warrior!

Huh.

These four were elsewhere, out of sight of anyone else.

Lisa, I liked her.

We were helping each other out on set.

We know you opened up to him

about the damage you'd done,

but Jonny didn't react the way you expected.

He was angry.

Something about his knee injury.

The show that I've spent years developing and working on

will now never be aired on TV.

Of course!

You know?

He knows.

I know.

What's exactly going on right now?

Cos I'm kind of out of the loop.

The Inspector has just solved the case.

Oh, right.

Nice, man.

So, um, do you want me to go and gather the suspects?

If we must.

But I need to check something first. DS Thomas,

get in contact with the show's production office.

See if the costume or props department recognise this.

Just stay away from me.

What did you say?

It's not all about you. I found out some weird stuff.

So he's going to tell us

who the killer is and how them do it?

Exactly that.

Unreal!

Mm-hm!

Right.

I've got to say, as murders go,

this one was pretty extreme,

the victim being stabbed

as he was speeding dawn a zip line.

Alive at the top, when he set off,

but dead by the time he reached the bottom.

And what has been bothering us

throughput all this investigation was why.

Why go to all that effort to murder someone?

I mean, there's got to be easier, simpler ways, right?

And there are.

In fact, what our killer did

was so much more simple than how it looked.

But that was the point -

to lead us dawn a false path,

so we would spend all our time and energy

fussing over something that never actually happened.

Because Jonny Feldon

wasn't stabbed on that zip wire.

In fact, he was already dying before he began his descent.

Wasn't he... Dale?

What? I'm saying it was you

that killed Jonny.

No, no, you're wrong.

No, I'm not.

Anyone take a guess what this is?

It looks like a pearl. Bingo.

It's also part of the murder weapon.

DS Thomas.

These are pearl headpins,

courtesy of the costume department.

These pins are over four inches long,

made of razor-sharp steel

and can go through the toughest fabrics.

And human flesh.

When you decided to murder Jonny Feldon,

you also made the decision to do it

using one of these bad boys.

Waiting until the coast was clear,

you stole a pin from the costume rail.

You said yourself that you and Lisa

were always helping each other out on set.

Well, I went back through the footage

from the morning of the murder,

and there you are, helping Lisa

to put the contestants' backpacks on.

And it was while you helped Jonny on with his...

...that you pierced the backpack's belt

and his abdomen.

Ah! Sorry.

Must have caught you in the buckle.

And when Jonny tightened his belt,

he forced the pin in deeper,

piercing his kidney.

We know Jonny was taking some strong painkillers

for his leg injury, so he hardly felt it.

And all he was focused on was trying to win.

It's not over yet. LAUGHS

When Jonny got to the zip line,

he took his backpack off,

removing the pin and opening up the wound.

And then he got on the zip wire.

And he seemed fine.

No-one would have noticed a tiny speck of blood

on his mud-stained shirt.

But as he sped dawn that line, the momentum

of the descent accelerated his blood flow

and he bled out.

And by the time he reached the bottom...

...he was dead.

You then timed your arrival at the landing platform

so you arrived first,

lowering his body, obscured from the XZ36O camera,

that you had conveniently placed.

At which point,

Rick cleared the set for the paramedics...

OK, come on, everybody clear the set.

...and you seized your moment to stab Jonny...

...with this knife,

in the same tiny wound that was made by the pin,

so that the postmortem

would only find a single knife wound.

In the following half-hour

you had two things you had to do.

First, you had to remove the pin from the backpack

and clear up any visible marks left on it.

You, then headed into the forest

and placed this blood-stained knife

near the zip wire,

making sure to trample the brush

and leave scuff marks so it would look like

someone climbed the tree to kill Jonny.

But... it was while you were faking that crime scene

that you made one tiny mistake.

With all that running Jonny did,

all that weight from his backpack,

that tiny pearl had loosened,

and when it was back in your pocket, it broke off.

And when you knelt dawn

and pulled out that decoy murder weapon,

that little pearl fell out.

If it hadn't, we'd never have found it,

and you might have literally got away with murder.

But why? I don't understand why.

Why indeed? Well, for live, wasn't it, Dale?

I mean, a very dysfunctional kind of love... for Miss Bulmer.

You were friends, right?

Yeah, we were friends, but, like, nothing more.

For Dale, it was more.

I mean, a lot more.

You felt jealous. Yeah.

And you really liked her.

I just wanted more of... of her.

And the thing is,

you already had a pretty strong motive for killing Jonny.

That man was about to get you sacked,

probably arrested.

Your whole future in television ruined. And now

he was about to ruin Lisa,

after she revealed to him her plans to sabotage the show.

I think you realised

you could help Lisa out as well, protect her.

I'm telling Rick everything you've done, Lisa.

Kill two birds with one stone.

And that's what made killing Jonny Feldon

all the more worthwhile,

because now you were saving the woman you love

from having her life destroyed.

All of which explains

why the murder had to be so public,

in the middle of filming. It was the final flourish,

because, Dale, killing Jonny

during the middle of the Grand Final

would completely destroy the game show

that Rick Mayhew stole from Lisa.

What?

In killing Jonny... Yes, you did.

...Dale not only believed he was saving himself,

but he was giving Lisa everything she wanted,

in the vain hope of winning her affection.

I didn't mean for it to end this way. I'm sorry.

I just wanted to make things all right,

I just wanted to make things better for you.

Up you get.

You do not have to say anything...

Inspector, that was, like,

the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life.

Ever! Respect, man.

All right.

Commissioner? I just wanted to say

well done.

Thank you to you and the team.

Selwyn,

JP just called.

He told me about your jib,

that they're phasing it out. Yeah.

I knew something wasn't right about you.

But they can't do this.

But it seems they can, and they have.

The Chief Commissioner

officially informed me yesterday.

But why?

It seems it comes back to one thing.

To save money.

But we all need you here.

The island needs you.

So...

...what are you going to do?

I don't know.

I just want to say...

...I'm sorry if I unsettled you when we spoke the other night.

The Commissioner has asked me to clarify

this is not an official murder investigation.

But we are looking into the possibility

that Dorna Bray's death

might not have been an accident.

Is there anything else that's come back to you since,

about Dorna, that day she died?

Nothing that would be useful.

But something?

No, it's... so small.

It's silly. Please.

I just remember,

that morning I was watering my garden and...

...I heard her singing.

Singing? She often would,

just about the house,

just for herself.

A-And what was she singing?

It was a John Holt song,

Dusty Roads.

It must have been her favourite.

She was always singing it.

The first shipment of Pelure goes out today.

- To Healing Skin. - Healing Skin.

Susie Montagu dies from anaphylaxis brought on

by ingesting peanut oil.

Susie's stomach was empty.

Well, if she didn't eat anything,

how did she ingest peanuts?

If you think Steve or myself

have anything to do with her death,

then you're wrong.

You know we're an open book here.

I've just received a search warrant

for your mother's house.

Now I'm actually going inside.

Sorry, people. Party's over.

Ohh!

There's a charging point literally down the road.
