Currently delays at junction 15 of the
M4 due to ongoing improvement marks.

That's your latest travel update from us
here at the station. It's the 1st of

December, so Christmas has officially
started.

And this is a classic.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell
rock.

Jingle bells swing and jingle bells
ring.

Snow and... Marjorie?

Marjorie? Oh!

Morning, Alan.

Christmas begins.

Well,

I could do with a

nice cup of tea after that.

I've never seen the town centre so busy.

Oh, I'm sorry, Helen. I didn't know
there was a team meeting.

Oh, you're fine, Marjorie.

I was just making a small announcement.

You'll never believe it. She's only
taken us away from the office Christmas

party.

It's been a tough old year, and I just
wanted to say thank you to everyone for

helping me get through it.

Guess what?

We're only going to the ruddy Caribbean.

Oh, my goodness gracious me!

Oh, although it does mean missing the
away game at Colchester.

What's that matter?

It's the Caribbean!

And you're properly budgeted for it,
Mum?

Yes, Neil, it's all accounted for.

Quite sure?

You know, I've always wanted to live in
that part of the world.

Oh, um... Not you, Marjorie, love. It's
been yourself only. I am so sorry. I

should have said.

Oh, of course. I'm sorry, Helen.

Silly old me.

Duh.

Oh, I probably should get that.

I think I'll throw up going bikini
shopping after work.

You might treat yourself to some speed.

Duckdale's Branded Merchandise, Marjorie
speaking.

Duckdale's Branded Merchandise, Marjorie
speaking.

I'll just put you through to a rest.

Bye! Bye!

Happy Christmas.

Visit.

Hi, Marjorie. I just want to let you
know that there's a Commissioner

arriving.

It's a serious situation over here.

Give him access to anything he needs.

I've told the police here that we're
going to cooperate fully.

Will do, Helen.

Oh, I hear him now.

We'll speak later.

Okay.

Ah!

You must be the policeman from the
Caribbean.

Commissioner Patterson, is it?

Selwyn Patterson.

So, um, what has actually happened out
there?

The police were called to your
colleague's holiday villa, where, I'm

say, a man was found shot dead.

Murdered.

Morning, Miss Baudet.

Morning, Seb.

It's the final rehearsal for the
nativity this evening.

I wish you all the best, and good luck
to you, little king people.

Aye, yes, yes.

Allez, let's go.

Good morning,

Sarge. Morning, Seb.

Got a card from Darlene.

Looks like she won't make it back for
Christmas.

Her auntie's still sick, so she's
staying on Montserrat.

Nothing in the post for the inspector,
you know, from Antigua.

His brother, you mean?

It's been three months.

I guess it's like a lot, you know?

I mean, getting a letter from a brother
you never knew you had might take some

time. I just feel sorry for him. He
keeps saying he's fine about it, but...

I don't think he is.

Where is D .I. Wilson?

Rehearsing. Oh, yes.

Oh, I am so jealous.

He must be hyped up to wear that
costume, huh?

I bet he is.

I'm really not happy about this. Why
not, Mervyn? Because I look like a

No, you don't.

You look very authentic.

I just don't think the boots are
helping.

Look, with all due respect, Miss
Bourdais, I just think it'd be better

finding somebody else for this. You
know, somebody less... me.

Mervyn, it has always been the
Commissioner who carries out this task

With him gone.

Inspector?

Great. Yes, sir.

You look cool, man. Not another word.

You're welcome.

Could we have a chat, sir?

to attend.

For real?

Well, that's that then.

I've got work to do.

Conversation over.

Conversation paused.

Sorry, Catherine.

Come on, let's go.

Um, Inspector.

You think maybe you should change first?

Victim's name is Darian St. Jules. He's
a local fisherman, lives half a mile up

the coast.

Right.

The guests staying here are from the UK.
They all say they haven't a clue who he

is or what he was doing here, but
clearly someone must have shot him and

him there.

Right.

No sign of the gun, but paramedics are
saying with the bullet still lodged in

the victim's shoulder, cause of death
was possibly from internal bleeding.

Right.

And what about you, Inspector?

Anything of interest?

Well, he certainly liked his aftershave.

Have a sniff.

I guess that's pretty strong.

I wonder if it was because of his work.

You know, slapped on the old cologne to
cover the smell of fish.

I know a bit of money in Putin did the
same thing. And that's what bothered you

the most?

The fact that the victim used a bit too
much aftershave?

Actually, what's bothering me the most
is what's written on the palm of his

hand.

Blitzen. Like the reindeer.

It's the only one I can think of.

Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet,
Cupid, Donna, Blitzen.

And Rudolph.

Thank you, Officer Rose.

The ink seems fresh.

Which means you wrote it in the last 12
hours or so.

And then not long after, he was shot.

Well, it is Christmas, sir.

Could this be a coincidence?

We've no idea who this guy is or what
he's doing in our villa, so how can we

know why he wrote the name of one of
Santa's reindeer on his hand?

I don't know. I'm just asking the
question.

Not a problem, is it?

No.

No, of course not.

Thank you.

Let's start with you telling me what
you're doing here on St. Marie. Well, we

flew here for our office Christmas
party.

Nothing cheap.

We were having the fun of our lives.

No, I'm not stopping!

Like a bee!

Like a bee!

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No!

Oh, my God, he's found it! Everyone get
in!

Maybe talk us through the events of last
night.

Yeah, what happened exactly?

We said we'd take it easy for our last
night.

Then we got back here and carried on
drinking.

Yeah, looks like quite a party you had.

Yeah, darn right it was.

Sorry, that's not appropriate.

The rum out here...

Um, it's stronger than we're used to.

Oh! What happened above?

One more straight away and no one has
left.

Come on, it's our last night!

And what time did the party end?

I haven't got a clue, mate, to be
honest.

Yeah, it's all a little bit hazy.

I really don't remember very much.

You've got a lightweight, man.

I remember everything.

Helen, you and me put Neil to bed about
midnight.

I'm sure I wasn't that bad. Oh, you...
So, uh... Oh, he's always had a low

tolerance for... Mum? Sorry, love.

Can we just... Yeah, Helen, you went to
bed as well.

Me and you kept on it till about half
three.

Yeah, you were so cute. You were dead to
the world by then. So, uh, I left you

asleep in the hammock.

And then what?

Oh, and then the taxi for the airport
woke me up.

Everyone, wake up!

Wake up!

That's when I saw him.

I thought he was asleep at first, but
when I got closer, I saw the blood.

Someone call an ambulance!

Now!

You were in the hammock when whatever
happened, happened.

You didn't hear the gunshot?

Well, yeah, yeah, you'd have thought,
but, well, it's like... Having said, you

know, the woman out here is... Stronger
than you used to.

Inspector!

That's something you should see.

This is the only security camera footage
from the villa.

Footage is from this morning, outside
the front door. The victim arrives at 5

.32am, heads inside.

The door was unlocked, so he let himself
in.

After that, nobody had seen leaving or
arriving.

So the only way in or out is from the
front.

And the drop of the back is too steep
for access.

So it's got to be one of these four who
shot Darren St. Jules.

Which means the gun that they used must
still be here.

But they're all saying they've never met
him before.

So why would one of them kill a total
stranger?

Have you come to check in?

The name's Helen Dogdale.

Of course. One moment, please.

I can't believe they're not letting us
fly home.

At least overreach is what it is.

So much for doing something different.

Should have just gone to the Red Lion
like last year. None of this would have

happened.

Girl, do you think there's something
Helen's not telling us?

She's been on edge ever since the police
arrived.

So why did Darian go to that villa at 5
.30 in the morning?

Let's see what we find at his house.

How are you getting on, sir?

Well, I haven't found anything that
connects our victim to the suspects, but

have found this, the victim's
aftershave.

Really? This again? It's different to
the one he was wearing at the crime

Here, have a sniff.

I haven't found any others here, and
there certainly wasn't one on his

So why did he smell different to the
brand of aftershave that he owned?

So, I searched the suspects, the villa,
and surrounding areas, and there was no

one.

No, it has to be there.

No one left the villa after the victim
was shot, so the weapon has to be there

somewhere. Yeah, no, I totally get your
logic, Inspector.

But it ain't there.

For definite, there's no gun at the
villa. But that doesn't make any sense.

sorry. Excuse me.

Hello? Yes!

Well, this is a strange one. We've got
four people suspected of shooting a man

they don't know with a gun they don't
have.

Let's start working through the victim's
laptop, see what's on there.

We need to find that gun.

What? Actually, sir, it's the nativity
service, if you'd forgotten.

Are you serious? And we promised
Catherine we'd make sure you get there.

Look, we've got a murder case to solve,
in case you hadn't noticed.

And I haven't got time for play -acting
with a bunch of kids at some school

nativity. Then you'd better find the
time, Inspector.

Why is she... Good evening to you,
Inspector.

Officer Curtis, what's a pleasant
surprise?

My niece is performing in the nativity
tonight.

And word has come back to me that they
might not have a narrator.

Because the man who is supposed to be
doing it is being a grumpy goose about

whole thing. A grumpy... Now listen...
No, you listen to me.

You are doing it. End of.

So get your backside down to that church
and man up.

I did like this sort of thing.

The nativity, the carol services.

Right. Is there anything about Christmas
you do like, sir?

No, not really. Oh, hang on. Yeah.

The Great Escape.

The what?

The Great Escape.

The movie. It was on telly every
Christmas.

You know, with the motorcycle stuff. And
the cooler.

The dirt down the trousers.

No, I'd give up. Me too.

Nothing, we're waiting.

Ready when you are.

Right.

Right.

Here we go, then.

I guess.

Okay?

Okay, then.

A long time ago, in the town of
Nazareth, there lived a young woman

She was engaged to a carpenter named
Joseph.

I understand he didn't want to wear a
costume, but did he really have to do it

in the heart?

And then one day, an angel...

called Gabriel, came to Mary and said to

her...

Sorry,

it was mine.

I knew it was going to be his.

calling from Antigua.

It could be... It's your brother.

Listen, sorry, everyone. I need to take
this, yeah?

Why, I think one of us shoot her.

Don't worry, Miss Bode.

Officer Sebastian rose to the rescue.

Yes, me little king people.

Oh, God.

Whew!

So, a long, long time ago in a town of
Nadir, there lived a young woman, a very

nice woman. Her name was Mary. She was
engaged to a carpenter named Joseph.

Mervyn Wilson speaking.

Mr. Wilson, it's Tyrese at Curry Before
Network.

I just noticed your contract's coming up
in the new year, and I thought we could

have a chat about upgrading your phone.

Mr. Winston, are you still there? Yeah,
I'm here.

No, no upgrade, thanks.

Are you sure about that?

Hey, sir.

You didn't come back.

Just wanted to check how you're doing.

Yeah, it wasn't Solomon on the phone.

Anyway, I've been thinking.

We really don't know anything about
these people.

You know, their lives in the UK.

I was thinking we could use someone to
do a bit of digging into our suspects

back in their hometown.

Right. You want me to get in touch with
the Swindon police?

No, no, no, I've already done that.
They're fly out until New Year.

But then I remembered we do have someone
in the UK who maybe could give us a

hand.

Ah! You must be the policeman from the
Caribbean.

Commissioner Patterson, is it?

Selwyn Patterson.

I'm no longer a commissioner.

I'm retired now.

Right. OK.

So now you're just... Helping out.

Somewhat reluctantly.

if I'm honest with you.

So, um, what has actually happened out
there?

The police were called to your
colleague's holiday villa where, I'm

say, a man was found, shot dead,
murdered.

I'm keen to get on with things and get
out of here as quickly as I can.

Rightio. Well, I'll give you the guided
tour.

Welcome to Dugdale's Branded
Merchandise.

Uh, so, uh, that desk over there is
Helen. She's the managing director.

Uh, this desk belongs to our graphic
designer, Gavin.

Uh, accounts manager, Neil.

And Karen, head of trails.

And this one?

Oh, oh, she's not here anymore. She left
a couple of months ago.

Who? Uh, Ashley. Ashley Sims, her name
was.

It was all somewhat clandestine, if you
ask me, Mr. Patterson.

She did what they call a midnight flit.

Never came back.

Are you sure you don't want a cup of
tea?

I'm going to make myself one.

This drawer is locked.

Oh, yes, it's been like that since
Ashley left. She has the only key.

Been meaning to sort it.

Commissioner. You do know what time it
is over here, right? Half past three in

the morning.

But I've abandoned a good friend's
wedding to travel to Swindon.

Unhealthy wall. Okay, fair dues.

How can I help? The bullet you recovered
from your victim.

Have you had the ballistics report back
on it yet?

Yeah, it was a .45 caliber.

Most likely fired from a pistol.

And did you find the weapon?

No.

Why?

Because I'm currently looking at a .45
caliber pistol in a desk drawer

in Swindon.

Well, it can't be the same one.

Can it?

Morning, sir.

Morning, Inspector.

This can't be right.

It just can't be.

What's going on? Commissioner found a
gun locked in the death drawer of an ex

-employee called Ashley Sims in the
Dugdale's offices back in the UK.

What? Local forensic lab fast -tracked
it, and they say that is the gun that

fired the bullet that killed Darren St.
Jules.

Look, security footage shows that no one
touched that drawer since the shooting.

Wait, so how was that gun used to shoot
Darren St. Jules on this island?

If the same gun was locked in a drawer 5
,000 miles away.

I know, right?

It makes no sense.

We need to speak to Helen Dugdale.

Helen? If you're in there, can you open
the door, please?

We need to speak with you about Ashley
Stim.

There's something you need to see.

I guess I want to say sorry.

I know it's not enough.

And it won't change how you feel about
me, but I do mean it.

I don't know why I keep doing this.

Blow everything up.

But, um...

Why I've come here.

Get away.

Try and understand why I hurt people

the way that I do.

She stole from me, from the company.

How much?

£500 ,000.

Ouch.

My husband, Keith, dug down with his
company until he...

passed away at the start of the year
from a heart attack.

I'm sorry to hear that.

That's when I took over the reins.

I really wanted to make it work, and it
was around that time that we had a

position to fill.

And you gave the job to Miss Sims?

I knew she had a past, that she'd been
to prison, but she's always believed in

giving people a second chance, and I
wanted to honour that.

What Miss Sims let you down?

Not even a year's past, and I've already
lost half a million pounds.

Did you report Ashley to the police?

I'm too embarrassed.

So I hired someone to find out where she
sent the email from.

And that video she recorded, that was
sent from this island?

Yes.

OK, so what does any of this have to do
with Darian St Jules? The man I hired

discovered that Darian had rented a
holiday let to Ashley.

That's why I came here, to try and get
my money back.

I made sure our villa wasn't far from
Darian's house, so it would be easy to

and visit him.

So you were lying when you told us you
didn't know Darian.

Did you meet with him?

Yes, a few days ago.

He confirmed that Ashley had rented this
little place he had down on the beach.

But she was definitely here.

She'd arrived a few months ago, at the
start of October.

He still had all the paperwork, but he
said that she'd moved on a few days ago

and he didn't know where.

So what was Darian doing turning up at
your villa in the early hours yesterday?

I don't know.

I really don't. How much do the others
know about this?

Nothing. They don't know anything.

They think they're on a work stew.

Not even your son?

No, not even Neil.

So then the only person who knew Darian
and therefore wanted him killed was you?

No. I swear I didn't.

I can see how this looks.

I didn't shoot him.

I don't... I need to take this.

Commissioner, you got something?

Inspector, I've searched Ashley Sims'
flat and emailed you over some

photographs. I'm afraid there is little
of use to your investigation.

I think she cleared out her flat before
she flew to the Caribbean.

OK. Thanks anyway, sir.

Now, if that is everything, I'm going to
catch my train and enjoy the rest of my

Christmas. Yeah. You have a good one,
sir. And you, Inspector.

And you.

Thank you for your help, Miss Woods.

I didn't do anything, really.

And you're nothing if not efficient.

What are your plans for Christmas?

I'm spending it with my daughter and her
partner. They've rented a cottage up in

the Yorkshire Dales. Oh, it's lovely up
there.

So I'm told.

I'd better... I'm flying solo this
Christmas.

I mean, that's how it's been since Mum
passed, just me, myself and I.

Sorry, I really... Oh, no, no, no, I
rather enjoy it, actually. You know,

there's no family arguments. I can eat
what I like, watch what I want on the

telly. Christmas alone is underrated, I
say.

Indeed. No, I really don't want to miss
my dream.

Goodbye, Mr Patterson.

Goodbye.

And Merry Christmas!

And a very Merry Christmas to you!

Immigration confirmed Ashley Sims
arrived on the island two months ago.

But they have no record of her ever
leaving.

So in theory, she's still here.

Okay, Officer Rose.

I want you to check the harbours. See if
anyone matching Ashley's description

was taken to one of the other islands in
the last few days. Ashley Harbour, last

few days. Got you. Check the hotels,
holiday rentals, guest houses on the

island. Hotels, rentals, guest houses.
Got you. You need to do whatever it

to find her. Do you understand?

Cool. Totally getting you right now,
Inspector.

I guess that means we're working
Christmas Day then.

Obviously. It's a murder investigation,
and we need to find out who did it.

Right. Only, that's a lot of work for
Seb to do by himself over Christmas.

Well, my mother has a whole church thing
going on, and everybody else is busy,

so it's cool.

There you go.

Sorted.

Thanks, Seb.

No worries.

See you in a bit.

I'll let my parents know I won't be
flying home this evening.

Appreciate it.

Ashley Sims aside, we still don't have a
scooby how the killer made the gun they

shot Darian with disappear from that
villa, then reappear in a locked desk

drawer back in the UK.

And that, Blitzen, what's that about?

Unless it has nothing to do with
Darian's murder, sir, and it is just a

you don't believe in coincidences.

I mean, in what circumstance does
someone write the name of one of Santa's

reindeer on the palm of their hand?

Are you doing all right, sir?

After last night?

Look, if Solomon doesn't want to get in
touch, I'm cool with that.

Well... Dear Thomas, I'd rather we
didn't talk about it anymore.

All right?

I'm at Swindon East.

Ed? Your tannoy keeps announcing there
is a rail replacement service to Leeds,

but it hasn't turned up.

Yeah, it got cancelled.

I'm sorry? The service replacing the
service that got cancelled also got

cancelled? Yeah, that's about the sum of
it. Double trades until Boxing Day.

So, what do you suggest I do?

G'day, mate.

Have a merry one, yeah?

See ya.

And a merry Christmas to you too.

I'm sorry, mate, but it's Christmas Eve
and none of my drivers are going to want

to go outside of Swindon.

You try to hire car company?

Yes. But nothing is available in the
area until the 27th.

You have no rules available at all?

We're fully booked.

Everywhere will be this time of year.

Maybe you could try the Salvation Army?

This is Andrena.

Leave me a message when you hear the
beep.

It's me.

I'm still in Swindon.

There's no transport, no hotels.

And there's no one here who seems able
to help me.

And I don't know what to do.

Mr. Patterson, I think you'd better come
with me.

How did you know I would still be here?
Had the local radio on. Said all trains

cancelled.

We've got to look after each other at
Christmas, haven't we?

Thank you, Miss Dobbs. It must be
freezing.

Yes, after you.

Thank you.

here on Sand Marine. And there's a
surprise guest with me here in the

I've got a young officer, Sebastian
Rose, from the Sand Marine Police

with me right now.

Yes, it is me, Officer Sebastian Rose
from Honorary Police Station.

Merry Christmas, everybody.

He and his colleagues want your help
looking for a young woman called Ashley

Sins. Am I right?

That is it. You are totally right,
Alphonse. If anybody has heard anything

seen anything... Well...

What I would say to them, sir, is even
if it was just a glimpse, what a young,

new, talented woman, they should still
get in touch.

Oh, and also, the people can check out
the video I made on our social media

page, at SMHollywood.

Commissioner, morning.

This is a surprise.

Inspector, have you seen that video
Officer Rose has put on social media?

It's deeply inappropriate.

Would you like another sherry, Selwyn?

No.

Thank you.

Who is that? Is that the receptionist?

Marjorie Dolph. I'm spending Christmas
Day with her. Well, I'm glad you two hit

it off.

Good for you, sir. It's not like that,
Inspector.

I got stuck in Swindon. There were no
trains to Leeds.

OK. Look, just take that video down.

No disrespect, sir, but it's not really
your problem anymore, is it? Just sort

it, Inspector.

Yeah, I've got his bank statement in
front of me.

That's great. Can you email it over?

I'll do that right away. Cheers.

Literally every tree.

I've got lead. A possible suspect for
Darian St. Julesy's murder. I need to go

and talk with him now.

Merry Christmas, sir.

Oh, um... Merry Christmas.

I'll be right with you.

Our financial checks show that two days
ago, you wired £100 ,000 from this

island for your bank account back in
England.

No, he didn't.

What?

You want to tell us where you got that
money from?

What did you do, Neil?

Yes, Neil. What did you do?

I followed you.

Why?

You were acting so weird.

A few days ago, when you went off by
yourself, I knew that it had to be about

the money that Ashley had taken.

I'm sorry.

I couldn't understand why you didn't
tell me.

And I know you were just trying to
protect me, Mum. I was worried about

I was just trying to help.

So I waited until the guy, Darian, had
left.

Door was unlocked, so I let myself in.

There wasn't anything I could find until
I found an old biscuit tin.

It was full of money.

And what did you think when you opened
it and saw £100 ,000 in cash inside?

Well, I do think that it was money that
belonged to the company.

Why else would this local fisherman have
that much money in sterling in his

house? And that's why you took it?
Because it was money that actually had

from us for months.

And I don't want to see her lose
everything.

After she'd already lost my dad.

All right.

OK.

So, fast forward to the morning you're
due to leave the island, yeah?

And our victim turns up at 5 .30.

We've been trying to work out why he
went there that morning.

But what if he realised that you stole
from him and came to confront you about

it? No.

On my life, I didn't even see him that
morning.

It's aftershave. It's yours, right?

Revised mystique.

Yeah? Why?

This is the exact same aftershave Darian
was wearing the morning of the murder.

Right?

You're not suggesting that this is
evidence I shot him? Why would I kill

and then spray him with my own
aftershave?

Darian definitely smelt of this when we
found him.

But why?

What if there was another smell the
killer was trying to hide?

You know, a bit like a bin man.

Yeah, but... What?

Neil's right.

Not enough.

Come here.

Give your mum a hug.

Oh, honey, I'm sorry.

Oh. No, not now, Marjorie.

Hi, this is Helen Dugdale's phone.

Please leave a message after the tone
and I'll call you back.

Hello, Helen. It's Marjorie. I'm phoning
to wish you a Merry Christmas.

We're about to have our lunch, and I
just wanted to let you know that I'm

thinking of you.

Hope everything sorts itself out soon.

Dinner is served.

This looks wonderful.

Thank you.

Here's to a merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Right then.

Tuck in.

I would like to offer you an apology,
Miss Dodds.

Oh, Marjorie, please.

There's really no need for an apology.

Oh, there is.

You've been nothing but gracious and
welcoming for the last couple of days.

While I... I've been nothing but, um...
grouchy.

No,

no, I wouldn't go that far.

Though... I did sense you weren't very
happy.

Is it to do with your old job?

What makes you ask that?

I don't know. It's just... When we first
met, the way you said you were

retired... It was like you weren't
entirely comfortable with it.

My superiors back on St. Marie, they
tried to get rid of me after

50 years of doing a job I loved.

In the end, I just walked away.

I know what it's like.

I'm just silly old Marjorie on
reception.

Don't even get invited to the Christmas
party they're having out there.

I'm sorry.

And I really wanted to go to the
Caribbean.

Look at us.

Whooping like this on Christmas Day.

When you cook this feast for us, we
should be enjoying ourselves.

Here.

Will you do me the pleasure?

Oh, well, if you insist.

Oh, where's it gone?

Where's it gone?

The tiny little sewing kit.

All right, let me check with the
inspector.

Okay, speak to you soon.

Hey,

Merry Christmas, guys.

Merry Christmas, Seth.

Now, where are we at with the search for
Ashley Sims?

So, um, B &Bs, hotels, guest houses,
nobody's heard from her. And no one's

called in with a sighting either.

It's like she's vanished into thin air.
Oh, and Catherine just called.

She said she can still squeeze us in for
our Christmas Day lunch, but it's our

last sitting, so we have to go now.

Are we still asking ourselves, how was
Darian shot with a bullet fired from a

gun locked in a drawer in Swindon at the
time that it happened?

And what has Blitzen got to do with all
of this?

Are you coming, sir?

Well, yeah, you guys go. I'll just keep
working.

Are you sure, sir?

Wait a minute.

What are these?

Oh, those are the invitations, sir, you
know, for the stuff I organized to help

find Ashley Sims.

You have posters.

Adverts for TV and radio.

There's over a thousand dollars that we
owe. We can't afford this.

Well... Well, how big do you think our
budget was?

It's only because you said whatever it
takes. Yeah, but not this much.

I mean, what were you thinking?

All right, let's calm it.

Seb, why don't you head over to
Catherine's and I'll catch up with you.

With respect...

He's just doing his best to help.

And he's given up his Christmas to do
it, sir.

Look, I know the case is frustrating and
you've got other things on your mind.

What other things?

Well, your brother not calling.

What? That's not bothering me.

It isn't. It isn't? No, it isn't. Yes,
it is.

Of course it is.

And I really... I really wish you'd just
admit that rather than pretending like

you don't care when you so clearly care.

Just don't take it out on the rest of
us.

Joyeux Noël, Camille.

And to little Chloé.

Her grandmother is missing her today.

Has she opened a present yet?

No, not yet.

Ah, one moment, Camille.

Yes, okay.

No

moving?

Inspector, everything all right?

I'm feeling bad, sir, about messing up
your Christmas.

I'm sorry you couldn't get to spend it
with your daughter.

It's not your fault.

If anyone wants to blame, it's the
British transport system, which I am

not uncommon.

I mean, I'd like to say you get used to
it, but I'd be lying.

Is that the sea I can hear?

Yeah.

I'm at the shack.

It's beautiful out here.

It's a really clear night.

But then all nights are like that here,
aren't they?

The moon here is a little more grey than
I remember it in St. Marie.

I'm just wondering if I made a mistake
staying on in St. Marie.

Why?

Because I know I'm not good when I put
myself on the line.

I feel like I'm just hanging around,
waiting.

Your brother?

Yeah.

I don't think he wants to get in touch.

I'm sorry, it's not really your problem
anymore, is it, whether I stay or go?

It still feels like it is.

Inspector, if you are not sure what to
do, the only advice I can offer is that

you put your trust in that island.

I did for most of my life.

And in return, it delivered me true
happiness.

If St.

Marie won't bring your brother to you,
then...

It will bring you someone or something
else.

Be patient.

Yeah, well, you know patience isn't my
forte, right?

I know.

But what am I supposed to do in the
meantime?

Might I suggest you focus on solving
that case you have.

You're missed here, you know.

night, Inspector.

Blitzen. Why Blitzen?

Officer Rose.

Inspector.

What's up?

I wanted to come and say I'm sorry for
spending all that money you don't have

your budget.

So, I wanted to pay it back.

There's $322 .86 in there, which I took
from my savings.

I mean, it's all my savings, but...
That's cool. And if you deduct $20 from

wages each month, you should be paid
back in about two years, I reckon.

Officer Rose.

You got a good heart.

Anyone ever tell you that?

My auntie.

Like, all the time. You know?

Take this.

You don't have to pay anything back.

We'll find it in the budget.

And there's no need to apologise, all
right?

In fact, I should apologise for blazing
at you like that.

What you did was, um, was really good
work.

Anyway, come on.

I've got a new lead. It's going to wake
DS Thomas up.

He can't keep doing this.

Happy Boxing Day, DS Thomas.

Listen, um, I want to apologize for
losing it and ruining

Christmas.

I'll make it up to you.

I promise.

And you were right about me taking it
out on you because of Solomon.

I just really wanted it, you know?

I'm sorry, too.

Good morning, Sarge.

The inspector tell you the good news
yet?

He's only going to make a big
breakthrough in the case, which is a big

because I was drawing a blank.

You see?

So I've been going through Darien St.
George's phone records, and he phoned

someone the day before he was murdered.

A friend of his called Trishawn King.

Now, he was over on Montserrat for
Christmas, so I asked Darlene to speak

him.

Darlene? Last night?

Yeah. And how was she with that?

You know, she was cool with it.

Anyway,

it turned out Darian feared for his life
and was asking Treshawn where he can

get hold of a gun for protection.

He felt someone was going to kill him.

Did he say who?

But he did say he was caught up in
something he shouldn't have, and get

thought the woman he was trying to help
had been murdered.

Now I'm caught up in it all.

And now he was worried that he was going
to suffer the same fate.

Wait, wait, wait.

Darian told Shashan he thought Ashley
Sims was murdered?

But it would explain why no one's seen
her the last few days.

So then, if this is true, that means
that whoever killed Ashley Sims probably

also murdered Darian St. Jude.

To silence him.

So what we need to start looking for now
is anyone who had a reason to kill

Ashley Sims.

Well, both Helen and Neil dug deals to
start with.

Ashley stole half a million pounds from
their company.

And there's someone else as well.

We've been looking at your phone
records, and these, Miss Hickson, are

messages from you to Ashley Sims just
before she came out here.

You'll regret ever meeting me.

Stay away from my boyfriend or else. I'm
not afraid to hurt you.

The list goes on.

Care to explain?

They had a thing, right?

Gavin and Natalie had a thing behind my
back. Or sort of.

Sort of?

Yeah, like it wasn't like a real thing.
Like they never really got together.

But Bertie liked her.

Yeah. God knows why.

She was weird.

But I think Gab liked that about her.

And he called things off between us.

And that's when I started warning her
off. Guess I just got a bit carried

I didn't want to lose him.

And you didn't.

Now that Ashley's conveniently
disappeared, you've got Gab into

haven't you? What?

Is that what you think?

That I killed her?

No, I wouldn't.

I didn't.

It'll be about Gavin.

We need to tell him what we know.

But Ashley called things off with Gav.
Why would I kill her?

Inspector.

You need to hear the truth.

What?

And I'm afraid you're not going to get
that from her.

No disrespect, Karen.

Oh, come on, man.

What are you saying?

Whatever she's told you...

It's ten times worse. Neil, what are you
saying? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

You've had your chance.

Go on.

He had a thing for Ashley.

Is that it?

We already know. No, it was more than
that. Gavin was obsessed.

When Ashley said they couldn't see each
other anymore, he had to take time off

work. And I've seen the posters you've
been putting up. If Ashley's gone

missing, then I'm telling you, it had
something to do with Gavin.

Inspector!

Someone was just broken into the villa
where Darian was shot.

Mr. Bradbury, this doesn't look good at
all.

But then I don't think you need me to
tell you that.

You want to start by telling us what
we're going to find in that pool you've

just emptied? And we know it's not the
gun used to kill Darian St. George,

because that's currently sitting in a
police station somewhere in Swindon.

What's down there? Why have you come
back to the crime scene, Gavin? What's

important?

Inspector, find something.

What is it?

A bullet.

One that's been fired.

Why is there a bullet in the pool, Gav?

It's like... keepsake.

Like something to remember Ashley by.

A bullet?

There are other things that I've got of
hers as well, like...

More like normal things.

No, I'm really not interested in those
funny enough.

Ashley, she's... She's not like anyone
I've ever met before.

It was exciting being around her. And
her life was so different to mine.

Yeah, I hear that.

The bullet. Yeah.

She has a gun.

She was looking after it as a favour for
someone that she knew from prison. And

she... Well, we...

Went out to the woods one day and she
let me fire her.

It was amazing, right?

You know, exhilarating. And I went and
got one of the bullets.

You know, I said that I would keep it
with me to remind me of her.

And they say romance is dead.

So why did it end up in the pool?

I panicked.

When there was that dead guy and Neil
called the police...

I was worried that if you found it,
you'd think it was me that shot him. So

took it out and I was wondering what to
do and... I dropped it.

It fell in the pool.

And the more you were sniffing around,
the more I started to worry that you'd

find it. So I came back and I... So you
loved Ashley then?

Yeah, I guess, yeah.

Must have really hurt when she ended
things.

Gavin, we believe Ashley Sims was
murdered on this island in the last few

What? No.

What? No, she can't be. And we're kind
of wondering if maybe you did it.

Me?

Why would I kill Ashley?

Because you couldn't have her.

And it hurt like hell. No, no, no, no.
You've got this wrong. I didn't kill

I owe that man.

You seem a bit edgy, Gavin.

Is there something you want to tell
enough?

There's nothing.

Really, there is nothing.

The paranoid corp will tell, but...

What is it that he's

not saying?

Hmm.

Hey, this is Ashley's phone. You know
what to do.

Ashley, it's me.

We need to talk. I'm worried about you.

The police have been asking questions
and I think they know about us, so...

let me know what you want me to do,
yeah?

Please call me back.

I love you.

You all right, sir?

You seem a bit tense.

I just can't work this one out.

I mean, we've got one potential murder
victim whose body we haven't found,

another murder victim whose body we have
found, but that murder weapon was

locked in a desk drawer on the other
side of the world when that murder took

place.

I mean, where do we even start?

Well, sounds like you need to go get a
little shoulder rub, no?

Release some of that tension.

No, you're all right, Officer Rose.

This guy again.

Listen, mate, I told you before, I'm not
interested in upgrading to another

phone, so stop calling me, yeah?

Is that Mervyn Wilson?

Yeah, it's still Mervyn Wilson, and I'm
still not interested.

It's me, Solomon, your brother.

He's here. Don't hang up.

Solomon.

It's Mervyn.

Yeah, I'm sure you know that.

Look, mate, I'm sorry. I just wasn't
expecting your call.

Yeah, I know.

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get
in touch, but...

It was, you know.

No, no, no, mate. I totally understand,
yeah? I mean, it's a process, right?

But, um, hey, you're calling now, aren't
you?

Yeah, man, it's a process.

But I'm glad to be calling now.

Are you still there?

Mervin? Yeah, yeah, I'm still here.

Um... Look, um...

Solomon, I'm really, really sorry to do
this to you. And I am so glad you called

and that we're finally speaking.

And I really, really want us to talk
again. But right now,

there's something I need to do. Yeah?

Yeah, man. No problem. But how soon?

That was quick.

Officer Rose, that billboard, you did
that, right?

Yes, sir. I did.

But... You should already have the
invoice for that. It's not going to cost

extra. No, no, I don't care about the
cost. It was worth every penny. Come,

look.

You see, all along, we've been looking
at Ashley's footage on phone screens and

laptops, yeah?

Well, they were too small.

I don't understand.

You see where Ashley is?

This is a still from the video she made.

And in the background, there's a ship
passing by.

Now, before that was just a speck, but
now you've blown it up. Look at it.

What about the ship?

Look at what it's called.

Blitzen. Blitzen!

Yes? Now we know.

Oh, Officer Rose, if you were so tall,
I'd kiss you.

Why would Darian write the name of that
ship on his hand?

Well, he obviously saw the footage
himself, and then...

He saw something in it.

But what?

Listen. I thought he's vanished into
thin air.

That's why I've come here.

I thought I was helping someone.

You know what?

I think I'm starting to work out what
went down here.

But I need to make a phone call.

You need to get on to airport security.
Come on.

All right, mate. Much appreciated.

Cheers.

Wow.

What? Wow.

So, that ship behind Ashley Sims is
owned by a Scandinavian container

company. Now, we know from the
information on that footage Ashley

the 4th of October, right?

Right. Well, check this.

The Blitzen was passing by the south
coast of England on the 4th of October.

Thousands of miles from the Caribbean.

So, Ashley recorded that video...

on a beach back in the UK.

Which means she was never even here.

Inspector, the airport just emailed over
security camera footage the day Ashley

Sims arrived on the island.

Wait, she was here?

Thank you for a wonderful Christmas,
Marjorie. Oh, it's been lovely.

Let me give you a hand with that.

Oh, don't be daft. You don't know where
anything goes.

Then you can tell me. It's the least I
can do.

Living room.

Thank you.

But if Ashley Sims has never been here
before, why do immigration records show

that she has?

Because someone else came pretending to
be Ashley, presumably on a fake

passport, and that someone paid Darian
100K to lie and say Ashley rented his

property for the past few months. But
why would they do that?

To misdirect and confuse anyone looking
for her.

Because they'd already killed Ashley and
taken the money.

So one of our four suspects has been
here three months previously?

Which is why we're going through this
footage, because it will show who was

pretending to be Ashley Sims.

There.

Why didn't I see that before?

Why I've come here? To try and
understand why I hurt people. No, it was

than that. Gavin was obsessed.

Of course.

After that, nobody is seen leaving or
arriving. So it's got to be one of these

four who shot Downers and Jules.

You were in the hammock when whatever
happened happened.

You didn't hear the gunshot? It's like
Helen said, you know, the woman out

Stronger than you used to be. What if
there was another smell the killer was

trying to hide?

It makes perfect sense now.

For definite, there's no gun at the
villa. The commissioner found the gun

in the desk drawer at Dugdale's offices
back in the UK.

We need to call the commissioner.

The commissioner?

Why? Because he's with the killer as we
speak.

Come on, sir. Pick up.

And what about these ones? Central!

or to go to the Caribbean.

I set the same rule.

Necklace. The stone is Lithma.

Unique to St. Marie. You told me you
always wanted to go to the Caribbean

you've never been.

You were lying.

No, no, Selwyn.

It was you that went to St. Marie three
months ago.

If Ashley never went then, is she dead?

Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to. It just happened.

Miss Jones.

I think you should put the knife down
now.

Please.

That

video she made.

It wasn't in the Caribbean, was it?

Almost.

On a Sunday, she'd come to the seaside.

She realised she'd made a mistake
stealing that money, didn't she?

Then she wanted to give the money back
and send a video as an apology.

I want to say sorry. I don't know why I
keep doing this.

Miss Sims didn't leave the country.

I'd gone in to the office that day to
deal with an order that had gone wrong.

wasn't my fault.

But I was the one who had to go in and
fix it. And then when I let myself in, I

found Ashley there and I knew.

I knew straight away what the money was.
You overhear a lot when you sit at

reception all day. I knew it was you.

And I went to call the police.

Wait, I'm giving the money back,
Marjorie.

Don't. Please.

I'm calling the police now.

Don't do this to me. You're not. And
Ashley tried to stop me. I won't let

Marjorie. Get off me.

Pushed her off me and...

And

I wasn't even supposed to be in. that
day.

But like I told you, nobody, nobody
cares for me there.

They just take me for granted. You saw
the money and thought,

finally, you could take something back
for yourself.

All you had to do was dispose of the
body.

And then you made a fake passport in
Ashley's name.

Oh, that wasn't hard, you know, with all
the kit we've got in the office.

You flew on that passport to St. Marie
to make it look as if Miss Sims had run

away to the other side of the world and
rented a property there for the last few

months. You know, I really did want to
go to the Caribbean.

It's just that I never had the chance.

All the money.

Until... And if you were going to
misdirect from what really happened

Swindon, where the dead body was, then
the farther away, the better.

And no one would realize.

Until things started to go wrong.

And you received a phone call.

You're saying Marjorie killed Ashley
Simms?

Our receptionist, that Marjorie? That
Marjorie. Yes, Marjorie Dodds, the

receptionist, killed Ashley Simms in
England and made it look as if she ran

to the Caribbean with your 500k.

Oh, I did not see that coming. So which
one of us shot the man found in our

swimming pool?

It wasn't any of you.

But it had to be. You said so. No one
else was here.

Yeah, you're right. I did say that.

But what I didn't know then was that
Darian St Jules wasn't shot at your

It just looked like he was. That's why
no gunshot was heard because there

one. He'd already been shot.

We know now from our colleague in the UK
that Marjorie had paid Darian money.

She came to the island three months ago
on a forged passport and she gave him

£100 ,000.

to lie and cover if anyone ever came to
the island asking after Ashley. She'd

convinced him he was doing a favour for
a very vulnerable friend of hers.

But when you visited him a few days ago,
Mrs Dogdale, asking questions,

mentioning the missing 500 grand, Darian
started to wonder what he'd gotten

himself involved in.

And when he re -watched that footage
more closely, the footage of Ashley

shown him, as an experienced fisherman
who knew the waters off St Marie very

well,

Something about it bothered him. Zooming
in, he was able to read the name of the

boat Blitzen.

He knew this was not a St. Marie vessel.

He worked out that the video of Ashley
was actually shot in the UK.

And having heard from you, Mrs. Dogdale,
that Ashley went missing with 500 grand

of your money, Darian started to realize
that Ashley had never been to the

island. He'd only ever met Marjorie. So
he phoned Miss Dodd, asking what was

going on.

We need to talk.

Listen, Darian, you've got this all
wrong.

All throughout this case, we thought
Darian's killer...

Had to be one of you four.

The one person we never suspected was
Marjorie Dove. I was all the way back in

Swindon. Or so we thought.

With Darian threatening to go to the
police, Marjorie asked him to hang fire

she would fly out here and speak to him
in person.

Marjorie was here? On this island? At
the exact same time we were? Yeah. She

arrived the night before Darian was shot
and flew back to the UK the next

morning.

Unable to convince Darian to keep quiet
and carry on with the lie, Marjorie

started to grow desperate, worried he'd
tell the police.

We give you more money. How much? Just
tell me and I'll give it to you.

We know Darian was searching around for
a gun for self -protection.

I just want you to leave.

Now!

He never expected Marjorie would use it
against him.

What are you doing? Put the dog down!

After shooting Darian, Marjorie left and
headed for the airport.

Before getting back on the plane,
arriving at Dugdale's offices just in

meet with our very own Commissioner
Patterson.

If Marjorie shot Darian at his house,
how did he end up at our villa?

Marjorie thought she'd killed him. But
what she didn't know when she left

Darian's place was that he was still
alive.

It was the fact that he smelled so
strongly of someone else's aftershave

helped us work it out.

Neil's aftershave, in fact.

We thought it was there to cover up
another smell that we now know was

antiseptic.

The stuff used to clean up a wound.

Because as soon as Marjorie quit the
scene, Darian regained consciousness and

patched himself up.

As far as he was concerned, the bullet
was just lodged in his shoulder. It

wasn't life -threatening.

So he put on a fresh T -shirt and headed
off for the hospital to get it properly

seen to.

But on the way, he passed your villa,
which was just half a mile down the

And I think Darian intended to alert you
to what had gone down. He stopped here

to tell you the truth about Ashley and
to warn you about what Marjorie had

That's why he came here that morning.

To tell you what your colleague had done
to Ashley and in turn to him. To make

sure it didn't happen to anyone else.
But what Darian didn't know was that his

wound was worse than he thought. And he
was bleeding internally.

And so despite his brave effort to alert
you all to the truth, he died here in

your villa.

But then someone proceeded to stage the
scene.

As if he was shot in this villa.

Didn't you, Mr Bradbury?

Me? What?

No, of course not.

No. And you did it because Ashley told
you to.

You're crazy. Ashley?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Let me have your phone.

Gavin, please.

Unlock it.

Bingo.

Text messages seemingly from Ashley Sims
from the moment she disappeared right

up to today. But all of these were sent
by Marjorie Dodds.

Who kept Ashley's phone after she killed
her? What? No. You know, you're wrong.

She can't be... You've been texting her?
No.

This whole time? Karen, I'm sorry. Look,
look. No!

Karen!

And here.

Proof of what happened.

Messages exchanged on the morning of
Darian's death.

Because despite what you told us, Gavin,
you were actually the first to discover

Darian's body.

You knew who Darian was because Ashley
had told you all about him.

And so you contacted Ashley, left a
message telling her that Darian had

up to the villa and died, and asking her
what was going on. A few minutes later,

she, or rather Marjorie, texted back.

See, Marjorie realized that if the
police were called and found Darian with

wound patched up, they'd know he was
shot somewhere else, and the trail would

lead right back to her.

So, she had to do two things.

First, she texted you with instructions.

Second, she had to clear up the real
scene of the crime.

Marjorie's confessed to her colleague in
the UTA that she quickly doubled back

from the airport and returned to
Daringthal before disposing of the gun

T -shirt he was wearing when she shot
him. Meanwhile, you moved the body

to the swimming pool.

There's also mention here of that bullet
you kept as a memento in the text

messages you sent to Ashley.

Well, that's how Marjorie knew.

So is Ashley... She asked you to remove
the bullet she killed Darian with and

replace it with the one she knew you
had.

However, in your haste, you must have
dropped the bullet you extracted into

swimming pool.

But you knew you could come back and
retrieve it later.

Once you switched the bullet, the
heartbeat was over.

You disposed of the dressing, then made
a hole in his T -shirt.

and let the blood around the wound soak
in. So now, it looked like Darian had

been shot after he entered the villa,
not before.

The last problem you had was getting rid
of that antiseptic smell, because that

stuff lingers, right? And if the police
noticed it, we'd certainly be asking,

who cleaned up the wound, and why? So
you ran into the bathroom and got hold

some aftershave, kneeled, and doused him
in it.

So now all you had to do was pretend to
be asleep.

when Mrs. Dugdale discovered the body.

Gavin, we need to get to the airport.

You've got to pack.

Leaving us without a scooby after how a
man was shot with a gun that was locked

in a death drawer 5 ,000 miles away in a
Swindon warehouse.

In the end, it wasn't just the police
that Marjorie Dodds had duped.

It was you as well, Gavin. You see, you
thought you were helping the woman you

loved. A woman you'd do anything for
when you were actually helping her

Off with the rose.

Mr Bradbury, I'm arresting you on the
suspicion of perverting the course of

justice. You don't need to say anything.

But it may harm your defence if you do
not mention when questioned something

later rely on in court.

Anything you do say may be used as
evidence.

I need to know.

Why did you come to the train station
that night and invite me into your home?

I take that risk.

Because I didn't want to spend Christmas
on my own again.

I'm so sorry I spoiled it all.

Inspector?

Commissioner? The arrest has been made.
I'm pleased to see.

Same here.

We couldn't have done it without you,
sir.

Oh, and are you doing all right?

Me? Yes, of course.

I'm fine.

Merry Christmas, sir.

Chief Commissioner, it's Selwyn
Patterson.

And to you, and apologies for calling
you during the holidays, but I

wanted to know if you'd found my
replacement as yet.

I see.

I've been doing some thinking.

And I wondered if there was any chance
of...

My returning to the room, if it's still
vacant.

The thing is, Terry,

the classic Christmas Day, Sunday roast
lunch is all well and good. But when

push comes to shove...

The real culinary high point is the
turkey and stuffing sani. Because, my

friend, in my humble opinion, it is one
of the greatest delicacies known to

mankind.

Like bacon and egg.

Oh, dear, Thomas, you're just in time.
Come in, come in.

Grab those for me, would you?

Oh, uh...

What is this about, sir?

I promised I'd make up for spoiling
Christmas Day.

And that is exactly what I'm doing.

Come on.

I don't know why I didn't think of this
before.

My front room on the beach.

That's a good idea, don't you think?

Yeah, why not?

So we're watching something.

We certainly are, dear Thomas.

Not the... The Great Escape. Yeah.

Beers and buddies, everyone.

And thank you to our local mayor for
letting me have the leftovers from the

And you've put it all between two slices
of bread?

Yeah. How English.

Excited for this film, Inspector.

Sounds dope.

Um, sir?

Is this really your favourite thing
about Christmas?

Well, yeah.

When I was a little boy, Growing up,
most times I didn't know where I was

to end up spending Christmas, right?

With a foster family or in a care home.

But wherever I ended up, the one
constant every Christmas was this film.

And it was a comfort to me.

I bet that little boy never thought he'd
be here in the Caribbean.

All these years later, watching...

That same film.

Surrounded by his friends.

You certainly didn't, Catherine.

So, um... To him.

To him.

Okay,

then. Showtime.

Yeah.

Look, just give me a few minutes, yeah?

Yeah.

Solomon, how you doing, man?

You got my message, yeah?

Look, I'm sorry I had to cut you off
like that before, yeah?

It was just an emergency at work I had
to deal with.

So, how's your Christmas been?

Yeah? Good.

Mine, um... Yeah, yeah, it's been really
good.

Look, um... I don't know how you feel
about this, but... I was wondering if

wanted to meet up sometime?

Yeah?

Yeah, I definitely would like to.

Thank you.
