It was a... A moment of madness.

She was pretty and, er,

I was a fool.

Who was she?

Some intern.

-Mum!

I have a right to know.

The conference in Mexico.

I am going to have to resign.

-We shouldn't get ahead of ourselves.

-No, I'll have no choice.

Let's see how the papers run with it tomorrow.

What about, "The Minister accepts

"full responsibility for his actions..."

CHARLOTTE: Darling, why don't you go to bed?

I'm going to get some air.

He'll be all right. Don't worry.

Where have you been?

Okay, they're running it.

Whoever leaked this was out to destroy me.

You don't have to do this.

I can resign now or I can wait to be sacked.

Thank you all for your support.

I've got a letter to write.

Sir, are you all right

Oh, Jacob!

Dad?

Dad!

So, what do you think?

Where is everything?

Tidied away, Camille.

Yes, but where, sir?

"A place for everything, everything in its place."

What brought this on?

Oh, er, nothing.

Sorry?

Come on, Chief. There's got to be a reason.

-Okay, if you must know... -Mmm-hmm.

...I got up this morning and I couldn't find my trousers.

I know that feeling.

Yes, very funny.

And I realised, I never know where anything is.

You have to control your environment

or it controls you.

Oh, you've bought a self

A tidy mind breeds a tidy

something-something, Camille.

I think your desk is ringing, Chief.

I seem to have lost my phone.

Don't worry, sir, I'll get it.

You've got to have a system or otherwise it's just mess.

Right, hold on.

Erm, sir, there's been a shooting.

It sounds like a suicide. So, the day

a Government Minister's exposed as having an affair...

Er, not much. His name's Jacob Doran.

What was he like?

Very popular, charismatic, a great ambassador

for the island.

Any wife and kids?

One wife, Charlotte, and one son, Drew, I think.

So what d'you think our chances are of getting

in and out of here without any interference from top brass?

-Detective Inspector. -Ah, Commissioner,

so pleased to see you.

Sir!

So, what have we got?

Well, sir, I've spoken to Mr Doran's Press Secretary,

Theo Frazier.

He said he found the body at about 7:00 a.m. this morning.

He shot himself in the chest,

-and the gun's on the floor where he dropped it.

Yes, there is.

"...the shame I brought to my office, to my family,

"the only honourable action I can take is to end my life."

His handwriting?

Looks that way.

And this is the gun?

Interesting, the serial number's been filed off,

this is an illegal gun.

I wonder where he got it from?

We don't know.

The safe's open...

What's in it?

Well, the wife said there should be a

few thousand dollars

in cash, but there's no money,

and there's something else.

The family kept their passports here.

Here's the wife's one, here's the son's,

but the Minister's passport is missing.

Mmm, so...

It's all a bit odd...

What are you thinking?

The Minister came in here, wrote the letter,

got out his gun

and then... Pop?

Yes, it's what it looks like, isn't it?

-Well, it's the

bullet hole, sir.

That's the problem. You see, in my experience,

suicides rarely ever shoot themselves through

their clothes.

They put the gun muzzle against their skin

like they want to make sure they don't miss.

It's macabre, but it's one of those things...

...whereas this bullet's gone through a thick jacket,

some old notes from a speech, it would appear,

a shirt and a vest.

Fidel, swab the, er, Minister's hands

for gunshot residue?

-I want to see whether he's fired the gun at all.

-Yes, sir.

Then search the grounds outside.

See if there's any evidence of an intruder.

If he didn't take his own life, how come there

was a suicide note?

Well, maybe he was forced to write it

or it's a fake,

but I don't think this is a suicide. It's just been

staged to look like one.

If you ask me, this is murder.

May I introduce Detective Inspector

Humphrey Goodman

and Detective Sergeant Camille Bordey.

Hello.

I'm sorry for your loss, this must be a terrible time

for you all,

-but we do have to ask a few questions.

-Of course.

I understand that you were the only people

in the house

when Mr Doran died.

It was just the four of us. All night.

And, er, no one else arrived and no one else left?

-That's right. -No, it's not.

Dad went for a walk, didn't he?

You're Mr Doran's son, I take it. Drew?

So could you tell us, erm, when this walk was?

It was 3:00 a.m.

Jacob said he needed some air.

Did anyone see where he went?

I was worried, so I went after him,

erm, but he'd gone into the garden and it was dark.

I'm sorry. I don't know where he went,

but he was gone about an hour.

I remember the clock striking 4:00 as he got back.

Do any of you know where Mr Doran got the gun from?

No. I mean, Jacob hated guns.

Er, did he perhaps keep a gun in the safe?

The safe just contains family documents and money.

And yet someone's emptied it of money and taken

Mr Doran's passport.

Er, which brings me to this morning.

Where were you all when you heard the gunshot?

I was up here on my own.

And did you see anyone come or go from the study before

or after the gunshot?

No. I didn't see anyone arrive or leave before I got there.

Erm, who was next to arrive?

It was me.

And, er, where were you beforehand?

I was downstairs.

After Jacob went to write his note, I just, erm,

stayed in the living room.

And Drew was with you?

No. He'd gone to bed.

-Yeah.

So to be clear, you were all

in different parts

of the house at the time of death

and not one of you can alibi anyone else?

We don't need to alibi anyone. Mr Doran took his own life.

Yes, of course,

erm, and I can see where you're coming from with that,

but, erm...

We think Mr Doran was murdered.

No.

That can't be.

I'm sorry, but it looks like that may well

be the case.

Yes, erm, and so we're sort of obliged to ask, erm,

the story in this morning's papers

about Mr Doran's affair,

erm, is that...

Is that true?

So there were only four people in the house all night.

But no-one leaves at any times,

except for one hour

when Jacob goes for his walk.

And at the precise moment he's murdered,

not one of them is in sight of anyone else.

Meaning any one of them could be our killer.

But if one of them was the killer...

Then how did they kill the victim

and then get out of the study without anyone noticing?

It goes without saying, but with a

Government Minister dead,

well, if you need my help, you only have to ask.

Chief! You'd better come and see this.

What is it?

Well, we had a good look around the place,

no sign of any break-in,

but Fidel's found some tyre prints.

FIDEL: It's from a motorbike or a moped.

And why is that of interest?

Well, sir, we checked and the family don't own one,

-but also it rained quite heavily last night.

-Up until about 11:00 p.m.

Yes, so if we can see these tracks...

Then the bike must have been driven up here since then.

Meaning there weren't just four people

up here last night.

There was a fifth person.

What are the chances of tracking this bike down?

It isn't going to be easy, you know, Chief.

There are hundreds of bikes on the island

and I reckon about five of them have paperwork.

-Fidel, I'd like casts of these tyre tracks, please.

-Yes, sir.

And Dwayne, get Theo to take you to the Ministry.

-We need Jacob's laptop and personal papers.

-Yes, Chief.

That just leaves you and me, Camille.

What was the name of the woman Jacob had

his affair with?

-Lena Bell. -Lena Bell.

Let's go and find out how she fits into the story.

LENA: I still can't believe it.

Can you tell us,

how did you end up working for the Ministry of Commerce?

I applied for an internship there last year.

I enjoyed it.

It felt important and I liked the work.

So what happened?

There was a trade conference in Mexico.

Mr Doran asked me to go with him,

as his aide.

I got to be in the room where decisions were made,

and I think I did a good job.

He told me I did

when we went for dinner to celebrate that night.

When we got back to the hotel, he ordered champagne

to his room,

said we deserved a nightcap...

So I went with him.

He seduced you.

The next day, I felt so ashamed.

The moment I got back to Saint-Marie, I resigned,

and that was three weeks ago.

Where have you been since yesterday evening?

I haven't left the house, if that's what you mean.

I haven't dared to.

Do you know who told the newspaper about your affair?

-Sometimes money to be made

in stories like these.

It wasn't me.

Is there anyone else who can confirm

that you've not left the house since yesterday?

My godfather's been staying with me.

Marlon!

MARLON: Oh! Here.

Marlon, it's the police.

I'm from St Lucia originally.

When my family heard I was going to be in the papers,

Marlon was on the first flight out here.

Sure was.

I'm Detective Inspector Humphrey Goodman.

This is DS Bordey.

Camille?

Marlon

You, er... Do you know each other?

Er...

Not really. It was a long time ago.

Oh. Okay. Well, there we are, then.

So, erm...

Mister...

Croft.

Mr Croft, er... When did you

get to the island?

-Three days ago. -And you've been here

the whole time?

Okay, right, erm, Camille do you have any...

No, Okay, back to me.

So, erm, and since yesterday, you've both been in the house?

We stayed up late last night.

We worried what the papers was going to say but by

2:00 a.m., I said, "Enough."

So I sent Lena to bed, lock up and went to bed myself

in the spare room at the back.

I see.

So, er, just to satisfy my curiosity,

do either of you own a motorbike?

I'm only here a few days, I've hired no vehicle.

Okay, well, that all seems pretty satisfactory.

Er, do you have any...

No, course you don't, otherwise you would

have asked them already.

Okay, thank you for your time.

Right, er... So, er, I'm not one to pry

or anything, and I loathe the word but I couldn't

help but notice a bit of a "vibe" back there.

How do you mean?

Well, you know, between you and Lena's godfather.

Look, if you do have a history with a witness,

I kind of have to know.

I think Marlon back there is my father.

What? Blimey!

Camille?

I was hoping, you know,

if I saw you again, it wouldn't be like this.

You're looking well.

I'm only here for a couple of days, helping Lena,

and then I'm on the first plane out.

I know. You said.

-Chief. -Dwayne.

Ah, sir, I've got the tyre tracks here.

It looks like the bike was a moped.

Excellent. Good work, Fidel.

And I've got the Minister's personal files from his office

-and his laptop. -Jolly good.

Is everything all right, sir?

Yes, well, I don't know.

Lena Bell's got her godfather staying with her

and you'll never guess who it is.

Who is he?

Camille's father.

He's on the island?

Yes, and I rather get the impression they don't get on.

Yes, erm, Camille doesn't really talk about her dad.

You know, he walked out on her and her mother

when she was a kid.

Yes, and I don't think she's seen him since.

Yes, I see. That would explain a lot.

Hello, Camille.

Maman, he's here.

Who is, darling?

Marlon.

Marlon Croft.

Sorry, your father is on the island?

Yes.

He was looking for you?

Don't worry. He's not here for me,

or you, I don't think, it's just bad luck.

Are you okay?

Yes, but I'm fine, honestly.

So what did you talk about?

He just said he was on the island to help

his goddaughter.

Oh.

...and she's the woman Jacob Doran had

an affair with.

Whatever reason that man's on the island,

it won't be to help his goddaughter.

Hmm.

Hmm?

Nice and neat, please, Dwayne. Nice and neat.

-Yes.

The suicide note. It's definitely the

victim's handwriting.

Ah, well, maybe he was forced to write the note.

You know, "Write the note or we shoot you.

"Oh, thanks for the note. Now we shoot you."

I know but that's the thing.

You see, Jacob used a fountain pen, right?

So if he'd been forced to write this,

there'd be spots of ink, there'd be palm smudges.

Look, the letter formation,

it remains consistent throughout.

There's nothing rushed or forced about

this letter at all, sir.

It's the real deal.

-Yes.

Hmm.

Ah, Camille...

You okay?

Of course. Why shouldn't I be?

Ah, no reason. Just thought I'd ask.

So! What have we...

Let's have that there.

No, that's not quite right.

There we go. There.

Ah, perfect.

So...

Jacob Doran, Saint-Marie's Minister of Commerce,

sleeps with one of his interns, Lena Bell.

-Er...

But when I spoke to Theo,

he kind of admitted that Jacob had a string of women

over the years.

-Can we get

back to the...

He also said that Jacob made sure his family

never found out.

In my experience, the wife always knows.

In which case, the wife's got a motive.

Yes, but we're not doing motive yet.

Okay, everything in order.

So, as I was saying. Jacob and Lena

have their affair.

How did the newspaper find out about it?

You know what I think?

Only a few people could have known about the affair

and one of them must have been Marlon.

Huh? You think he sold out his own goddaughter

to the media?

If there was money to be made from it,

it would explain what he's doing on the island.

Do you think we might be able to get

the Commissioner to lean on the paper?

-It's worth a try. -Dwayne...

I'm on it, Chief.

So, once the Minister knows the story's about to break,

he tells his Press Secretary, his wife and his son.

And then they all stay up together all night.

Except for one hour at 3:00 a.m. when Jacob

goes for a walk on his own.

That's right, which is when he may have met the person

who rode up to the house on the bike.

As dawn rises, Jacob goes to his study

and writes a suicide note, which we believe is real,

but before he can kill himself,

his murderer shoots him dead.

With an illegal pistol, sir, that's had its

serial number filed off.

-No, quite right. -And don't forget, sir,

the killer also emptied the safe of cash

and the Minister's passport.

That's right! He did.

-And none of it makes any sense.

No, because if Fidel is right and the suicide note is real,

why does the killer need to kill a man whose

already in the process of killing himself?

DWAYNE: Okay, thank you very much.

The Commissioner's going to see what he can do.

Good. Then I'd like you to find the bike

that was up at the house in the middle of the night.

-There's every chance that the rider is our killer.

-Right, Chief.

And Fidel, if you'd go through Jacob's laptop and files,

-see if you can find anything for us...

-Yes, sir.

...which just leaves you and me, Camille.

Now I think we need to talk to Charlotte again,

because if Jacob was a serial adulterer,

there's every chance that this was the affair that

pushed her over the edge.

Gosh.

What a lovely dress.

It was such a happy day...

Yes, it looks like it.

Erm,

how long were you married?

Thirty-one years.

Wow.

-No.

Yes, I am.

Well, I mean... Sorry, I'm not,

although actually, of course, I am.

It's complicated.

Do you remember your wedding day?

Oh, God, no way I'd forget it.

I had shooting pains down my right arm,

the stress of being in

the centre of attention like that, the cake,

then walking up the aisle,

er...

While also being profound, of course,

and extremely moving.

I thought I didn't have to worry about

anything ever again.

We were husband and wife, for richer, for poorer,

in sickness and in health, until death do us part.

Mrs Doran, as far as you know, was this your husband's

first affair?

The first time was awful,

but I'd just had Drew and I had to make a decision,

to leave Jacob, the father of my child

or turn a blind eye to his infidelity.

And you're okay with that?

When you're married to a successful man like Jacob,

you have to make allowances.

Mmm.

So why didn't you tell us this before?

Because Drew doesn't know about the other affairs,

and I don't want him to find out.

He idolised his father.

We'll be as discreet as we can.

Then all I ask is that you catch my husband's killer

'cause I want to see who did this behind bars

for a very long time.

Erm, thank you.

So what do you think

I don't know. I think she loved Jacob.

And if she's always known about the affairs...

And if Theo's always known about the affairs...

Then the news would have only been a surprise to Drew

that night.

But, then, if you caught your dad having an affair,

you wouldn't kill him, would you?

Depends on what kind of relationship you had

with your father.

Ah, yes, yes.

Erm...

So, if you don't mind me asking, that is,

-if it's not too personal, which it is, frankly...

-Look.

There's nothing to tell, okay?

My mother and Marlon only were together a few years.

They had me. Marlon never came to terms with being a father.

Anyway, when I was six years old,

he walked out on both of us,

moved to St Lucia and, er, I've never seen him since.

Right. That's tough. Thank you.

I've always had my mother.

Right.

So, just to calibrate, you don't think

Marlon's the murderer?

I can't answer that. I don't know him.

So you haven't sold a moped in the last few weeks?

Okay, if you hear any different any time soon,

let me know, you see.

Oh.

You trying to ruin my figure, Chief?

Okay, so the pathologist's report is in.

Jacob was killed by a single shot to the heart

fired at point-blank range.

The bullet was a .38 calibre, fired by the gun

we found at the scene,

only the victim's fingerprints were found on it.

Suggesting it was suicide.

Yes, but the swabs Fidel took from Jacob's hands

showed no traces of gunshot residue

on them anywhere.

So, Jacob didn't fire the gun.

Yes, but he was shot.

So the killer must have put the gun in Jacob's hand

to make it look like suicide, and that is a biscuit to me.

So, Camille, what have you got...

Sorry. So sorry.

What... What do you have there?

-The witnesses' phone records have come in.

-Mmm.

-Yes.

I'll...

I went through Jacob's files last night, but as I fired

up his computer, I discovered that someone had removed

the hard drive.

Now, according to Jacob's secretary,

the only person who could remove that drive

is Jacob himself.

-Yes.

Jacob kept his laptop under lock and key

when he wasn't there,

but don't worry,

I got the IT department to put this together for me.

And what's on that?

A copy of every document

the Ministry's created in the past four years.

A copy of all the files on Jacob's laptop are

on here... Somewhere.

But that means Jacob was destroying evidence

the day before he was killed.

Why? So we have a wife,

a son,

the young lover, the young lover's godfather,

a press secretary,

and a victim who was in the process of killing himself.

Who is the killer?

Sir, I think I may know.

-It's Lena's phone records.

Look, she's been dialling the same number two

or three times a day.

Easy, it's got to be Jacob.

It'll be during the, er, "sexy texts" stage

of their relationship, you know.

Er, no, it's not Jacob, but you're close.

Drew, what is this?

In that case, erm, could you hand over

your phone, please,

because I'm pretty sure it still has plenty of texts

from Lena on it?

-Your phone, please. -You don't need my phone.

You're right.

Me and Lena met in a bar last year,

hit it off, you know,

-started seeing each other. -You didn't tell me.

Yes, because I don't tell you everything.

I'm not a child any more.

She wanted a career in politics, I knew I could help.

How?

I told her to apply for an internship in

Dad's department.

Did your father know she was your girlfriend?

Didn't even know we knew each other.

When did you discover he'd slept with her?

When she got back from Mexico. She told me.

And how did that make you feel?

-I was sick. I couldn't believe it.

-CAMILLE: And then...

Well, I was angry.

With Lena?

Yes, but it wasn't her fault, not the way she told it.

It was Dad, he seduced my girlfriend.

Why do you think Lena didn't tell us any of this?

She was probably trying to protect me.

And why didn't you tell us?

Because I had nothing to do with my dad's suicide.

You still think your father killed himself?

Have you found a single piece of evidence

that categorically proves he didn't?

I knew it.

Jay! Jay! Vinny.

Is that your bike?

Hold it.

Lovely.

-So, Drew has known about Lena for weeks.

-Yes.

So he could have been planning the murder

ever since he found out about Mexico.

Yes, but how would he know

that Jacob was going to commit suicide that night?

No, good point.

And why even bother going through with killing a man

when he was going to kill himself anyway?

Good morning, team.

How's the case going?

Well, sir, it's all good in some respects

and then, in other respects, it is less good.

-It is pretty heavily weighted

on the "less good" side

of the seesaw, sir, but it's only days in.

Did you get anywhere with the newspaper, sir?

I spoke to the paper's editor

who point blank refused to reveal his source.

The only thing he would tell me

was that the story came from someone "Close to Jacob".

Okay, but, erm, if they're close to Jacob,

then it...

It could be Charlotte

or Drew or Theo,

or Lena, even.

Yes, you're right, they're all pretty close to Jacob.

In fact, the only one it couldn't be is Marlon.

Fidel!

Oh.

Commissioner.

Any progress?

A little, but it can wait, though.

Not at all, we're all ears.

But it's just that I'd rather not...

No, tell us who is our mystery man on the bike

and soon-to-be prime suspect in the murder.

It's my father, isn't it?

Er...

I'm sorry, Camille. Marlon borrowed a bike

the day before the murder.

He then returned the bike to the owner

yesterday afternoon.

I've checked the bike's tyres

against the casts Fidel took from the scene.

It was your father who was up at the victim's house

on the night of the murder.

So we'd better find out why he's been lying to us. Sir.

-There was something else.

When I was asking around, I heard a rumour that

maybe Jacob was a little

bit too close to a local businessman, a guy

called Desmond Colbert.

-He owns a rum distillery.

It's been rumoured that he's got

links to the underworld,

-but nothing's ever been proven.

Ah, right. Erm, sorry, but if I don't go now,

she'll go without me.

You know what she's like, sir... Fiery!

Go, Inspector.

Look, it's not like you think.

Then how is it?

Mr Croft, we can prove that the bike you had

access to was

up at Jacob's the night he got killed.

So you've got two options. One, tell us the truth.

Or two, we can arrest you on suspicion of murder.

She's got a point.

Man, all right, I admit it.

I was at the dead guy's house.

But I was gone long before any shooting started.

Why should we believe any word you say?

All right, I'll tell you.

So I sent Lena to bed,

like I told you, at 2:00 a.m.

But you're right.

I lined up the bike first.

Not sure if I was going to use it.

But the more I thought about it,

the more I reckoned,

this is Jacob's fault.

I wanted to put the squeeze on him.

Sort out some compensation

for Lena.

You mean, demand money with menaces?

Remind him of his obligations.

You went up there in the middle of the night?

It was for Lena. It mattered.

What time d'you get there?

A bit before 4:00 a.m.,

Jacob was already up.

He was in the garden.

-No. He was on his own. Looked like he'd come

back from the beach.

So I told him he owed Lena for what he'd done to her.

To be honest,

I got the feeling he'd agree to anything just to

get rid of me.

So he took me inside the house.

Did anyone else see you while you were inside?

One moment, Lena. What happened next?

MARLON: I waited outside the study.

He went in and came out with a cheque.

-It was a cheque.

Was there anyone else in the study with him?

I couldn't see.

Once I got the money, I was on the bike and I

was out of there again.

I don't understand. You were at Jacob's house?

Sure. Marlon here was getting you some money.

Now hold on! I was waiting for

the right moment...

Your mum wants you home,

so I got Jacob to give me some money to

cover your flights.

-7:00 a.m.

So, you should know.

At 7:00 a.m., I was at the airport,

it's when the desk opened,

buying my goddaughter a return flight ticket to St Lucia.

CAMILLE: Okay, well, thank you very much for that.

Marlon was definitely at the airport buying a

plane ticket at the exact same time Jacob was being

murdered on the other side of the island.

And the bank say that he paid the cheque into his account

at 9:06 a.m. that morning.

And Jacob had thousands of dollars in

his safe, so we're told,

so why did he write Marlon a cheque?

Why not just pay Marlon with the cash in the safe?

It's bizarre, it's...

Cheque, cash, cash, cheque...

Okay.

We can strike Marlon from the investigation,

he is not our murderer.

Fidel, d'you get anywhere with the data from

the Ministry's hard drive?

Well, sir, I've isolated as many

of the documents connecting

Jacob to the rum trade as I could find.

Bills of lading or export licences and so on.

There's about 500 that I've printed out already.

Yeah,

but don't worry, sir.

Juliet's cooking up a fearsome roti and kalalu tonight.

The plan is for Dwayne and me to split this in two

-and go through it all together.

No! That is what I told him, Chief.

He'll be working through the files

and I'll be working through the roti, the kalalu and beer.

Yeah, probably.

Ha, right, er, well, it's, er... It's getting late.

Let's, erm, knock off tonight and pick this up

again tomorrow.

And, erm, Camille.

Mmm-hmm.

You, erm... Fancy a drink maybe?

Bite to eat?

No.

Or if it's, er...

It's fun you're after, there's always, um,

Travel Battleships.

I beg your pardon?

Guerre Bateaux, as you probably call it.

Oh!

Although, I... I lost a submarine a couple

of weeks ago, erm...

It shouldn't matter so much.

It's, er, essentially just a pen and paper game,

we could draw up a couple of grids and...

No, no, no, no. Thank you. I... I'll go home.

Camille?

What are you doing on the island?

I told you. I'm here to help Lena.

I don't believe you.

Why don't you believe me?

Because I know what you're like.

You've not seen me for 25 years

and you know exactly what I'm like?

I've heard the stories.

From your mother, you mean?

Yes.

Camille, I think about you every day.

I've even written you letters.

I haven't posted them but they're written.

Then why haven't you sent them?

I don't know what your mother told you.

But you should know the truth.

My being out of your life, I was only doing

as I was asked.

-What she asked of me.

How's the new organised regime going?

Oh, it's made all the difference, Catherine.

A place for everything, and, er,

everything in its

place.

I just need to learn where those new places are. Ah!

-No.

Camille?

I need to ask you something.

What

Because I don't want to take his side.

Whose side

Marlon told me he didn't leave us when

we were in St Lucia.

You walked out on him, and that's why

the two of us moved back here.

It's a lie, isn't it?

He's lying?

Well, I... I...

You walked out on him?

It was you that walked out on him?

Camille, I can explain...

It's yes or no, Maman. Did you walk out on my father?

Camille...

Camille?

Keep the change.

-Camille, just hold on a moment!

I just wanted to know if you were okay?

She has lied to me my entire life.

Ah, yes, I gathered as much, but, erm,

maybe you should go back...

I don't want to hear what she has to say.

Okay.

We could go for that drink, in another bar of course.

I mean, if you want to talk about it. Or not?

That also works.

Good night, Humphrey.

Ah! Morning, Camille!

Morning, sir.

Are you, er... Are you okay?

Of course I'm okay.

Okay!

Listen, just make sure you call us as soon as

the boat has docked, okay?

All right.

Er, what's going on?

Well, Chief, it took us most of the night,

but the answers were in the files, just like you said.

What have you found?

First, we didn't see anything because there's nothing

illegal about the outward shipments of rum

from the island,

but it's what gets imported back into Saint-Marie

that's interesting.

-Yes,

because every time a boat comes to the island

it's full of cotton

or timber or whatever's being imported from

wherever it's been to.

But every time a boat comes from South Africa,

there are always

four crates for delivery to a company called

Burwick Trading.

Who are Burwick Trading?

They're a local company with no apparent income,

no head office, no staff, but they do have one owner.

Who is it?

Jacob Doran, our recently-deceased

Minister for Commerce.

It looks like he's been illegally importing goods

from South Africa.

Fantastic. Great work, guys. What's he importing?

We don't know, sir,

but the next delivery to Burwick Trading

arrives in port today.

And when we impound it, we'll finally find out

what this case

is really all about.

Yes, and why the killer wanted to kill someone who was

-already in the process of killing himself.

-Yes.

Ah, er, Camille...

I'm just asking for a chance to explain.

When you were three, Marlon got a job in St Lucia.

We went with him. And we were happy.

After a while it was the same old Marlon,

came and went as he pleased. He couldn't hold down a job.

I put up with his ways for so long.

Then, one morning, he took you to the beach.

By nightfall, he still hadn't come back.

I was going frantic.

Eventually I found you on your own.

Marlon was in a bar nearby, playing cards.

He had forgotten he had you with him.

It was the day I realised he couldn't be a father to you.

So I brought you back home.

To Saint-Marie.

It was what I thought was best for you.

We need to go to the port.

Okay, so the boat is here but the crates for Jacob's

company are not getting unloaded,

they're staying on board.

-I don't know

but the next port of call is Mexico.

Which is where Lena went with Jacob.

Yes, it was, wasn't it?

Forget about Lena, it's not about her.

How do you know?

Because look who's about to get on board.

CAMILLE: Arrêtez !

Good morning, Mr Frazier!

What are you doing here?

I think we could ask you the same question.

Police, we're boarding your boat!

Honestly, I have no idea what is down there.

Dwayne. Dwayne.

Oh!

-Ti mal. -I know this looks bad.

You have no idea.

Well, I reckon we know where Jacob got his handgun

from now, eh?

-Yes, aye. -Yes, aye.

Yes... I'd say that was excellent.

For a long time, I've suspected Jacob

was using his

position in the Ministry to carve out

some kind of sideline.

A few months back, I discovered Burwick Trading

was owned by him.

He was up to something illegal,

but I couldn't prove it.

So you decided to deal with him another way.

At the very least, Jacob had to be

removed from power,

so when I discovered he had another one

of his affairs...

So you were the person close to Jacob

who went to the newspaper? I promise you, if I'd known

he was gun-running,

I would have come straight to you.

So when I came down here, I was trying to get

the boat impounded.

It's true, sir.

The harbour master says Mr Frazier's been trying

to get him

to call the police, he suspected this boat

contained contraband.

Right, everyone, what does this mean?

It means Jacob Doran was a criminal.

Yes, the kind of criminal you want to kill.

Who knew about the gun

And do we believe Theo when he said he didn't?

I don't know but if Theo really didn't

know about it,

then maybe nobody did.

Yes, well, we're so close, we have to be!

Why was he killed?

Camille...

What?

Erm, can I just say something?

Look, I know it's none of my business, so you're

welcome to tell me to shut up, or butt out,

although God knows what "Butt out" actually means...

Anyway, erm, the point is, I have no idea what

your mum said to you, or what she's like, really.

I've only been on the island a short while, but, erm, I do

know what you're like, I think, a bit,

and I just want to say

that you couldn't have been more welcoming to me.

You're kind, you're warm-hearted, funny,

forgiving, and God knows you have to be forgiving

to work with me.

Erm... But the, er...

The thing is, is that whatever problems you

have with Catherine, don't accuse her of being

a bad mother because

from where I'm standing, I'd say she's done

a pretty fantastic job.

Hold on. Sir?

-Yes. -If Jacob was a crook,

then that changes everything, doesn't it?

Yes, it certainly does.

So who killed him, then?

Well, let's start with what we know.

For example, I think we now know why

he had an illegal gun to hand.

It belonged to Jacob.

Which means his murder was never really about

the affair, was it?

It was about gun-running, plain and simple.

Which might also explain why he was killed, even though

he was going to kill himself anyway.

Do you think it was an execution?

Well, maybe it was a message, you know.

You step out of line, you're going to get killed.

Yes, which also explains why he didn't want us

looking at the hard drive.

The only person who could remove that drive

is Jacob himself.

It contained evidence of his arms dealings.

-And why the bullet went through the clothes.

-It was murder.

And why there were tyre tracks.

Because Marlon was up there that night.

So we are left with the suicide note,

Jacob's night-time walk

and the theft of the cash and passport from the safe.

Oh, but the cash is easy.

If you see the cash, you take it.

But why also take the victim's passport?

All I can think is that you want to impersonate him.

But everyone knows what Jacob looks like,

you'd never get away with it.

The only person who could possibly use

that passport is Jacob.

And he can't use it because he is dead.

Wait a minute...

Or could he?

Sir?

But we know he was going to commit suicide,

so what does that mean?

That goes there. Ah, and there...

That's impossible.

That goes there.

Passport... Aha!

So that explains why he wiped his hard drive

and the illegal gun, yes!

And the bullet through the clothes,

and the tyre tracks, but not the 3:00 a.m. walk.

No, of course, the 3:00 a.m. walk.

And that finally explains why!

You know, don't you?

You've got ink on your shirt.

And you've made a serious mess of that board.

FIDEL: I think it suits you, Chief.

No, you're right. You are bloody well right.

That's better.

Right, I think we've got a killer to catch...

Just as soon as I've changed my shirt.

So how do you want to play this?

By, erm, going to the beach.

There's something we've got to find.

Come on.

I think it was better when he was trying

to be neat and tidy.

FIDEL: No, Dwayne. There's a method

in his madness.

There's got to be.

Mind you, I'm not saying he's not mad, okay?

I'm just saying there's a method to it, that's all.

Look mad to me.

He says he doesn't need any help.

Oh, he needs help, all right. Medical help.

Ah!

And he wouldn't tell you what he was looking for?

He just said he wanted it to be a surprise.

No way?

Found it!

-Hold on.

One moment and you'll be able to see.

Yeah, we saw that.

How the hell did you know that was there?

Come on, you all knew there'd be a bag

buried on the beach,

-you must have done... -Sure!

Go on, Officer. Open it. No, no, no, no, You do it.

Oh, I don't need to. I already know what's in it.

-Open it up! -Hold on!

Method to the madness!

Thank you all for joining us.

You've found out who killed Dad?

We have.

Marlon, we know you came here that night,

but by the time Jacob was killed,

you were on the other side of the island buying

your plane tickets.

Which also puts you in the clear, Lena.

After all, there was only one set of tyre tracks

up to the house

that night, and they belonged to Marlon.

So you didn't kill him either.

And then there were three.

You see, the key to this case has always been

the riddle at the heart of it.

Why did the killer kill a man who was

already in the process of killing himself?

It's... It's bizarre.

But as in a lot of riddles, the answer, in the end,

was quite simple.

He wasn't killing himself.

Well, he was. We saw the letter.

Fidel?

The suicide note was real enough.

But it was also fake.

That's not possible.

Oh, it's possible, it's just a

little paradoxical...

But then, in the end, no more puzzling

than the other

paradoxes in this case.

For example, why was it Jacob's press secretary

who gave

the story of his boss's infidelity to the newspaper?

It was you?

I had no choice.

But why? He... He was a good man.

Apart from the affairs?

Yes. Apart from the affairs.

And the gun

What are you talking about?

Your husband was an illegal arms dealer.

No!

He was importing guns from South Africa and

shipping them to Mexico.

It's true, Charlotte. I've seen the evidence

with my own eyes.

Theo's right.

He wanted Jacob removed from power,

but you'd already achieved that by the time the article

about his affair had been published,

so you didn't kill him either.

And then there were two.

The doting wife, loyal to the last.

And a young son who'd just been betrayed

when his father had slept with his girlfriend.

See, that's what I realised about this earlier today,

this case was

never about Jacob's affair, or his gun-running,

not directly anyway.

I didn't kill him!

You're right. You didn't kill him.

It was your mother.

Charlotte, you killed Jacob Doran.

No!

I told you.

I stood by Jacob

our whole marriage, despite the affairs.

And that's why he had to die.

Because that night you discovered that you may have

stood by your husband, but he wasn't going to stand by you.

Was he?

We found your husband's bag on the beach.

It's the bag that tells us his suicide note was fake.

While also being real. And only you could have

worked it out.

Only you went after him when he went for his walk.

You didn't lose him, like you told us.

You followed him.

HUMPHREY: I think you sensed that Jacob was

up to something.

So you followed him down to the beach

which is where you

saw him burying the bag in the sand.

You didn't know what was in it.

But you were going to find out.

CAMILLE: Once Jacob left, you dug up the bag

and found clothes, money,

passport and a gun.

All the things he'd need to carry out his plan.

Which was quite simple, really.

With the publication of his affair,

Jacob knew his days as a minister

were numbered.

How long before his replacement discovered

that Jacob had been

abusing his position in the Ministry and dealing

in illegal weapons?

So he decided to fake his own death and skip the country.

First, he placed a bag with everything he'd need

to run away.

And then he wrote a note,

telling the world he was going to commit suicide.

He then planned to go down to the beach where he'd undress

and step into the sea,

so it would look like he'd swum out into the ocean

to his own death.

When in reality, all he had to do was swim

further along the beach to where he planted his bag.

And get dressed in the clothes he'd placed there earlier.

Meaning he was now free to leave the island,

or no doubt on the next

boat he could get to his gun-running friends in Mexico.

Not that you knew the specific details, I'm sure,

but you got the general drift.

Jacob was abandoning you.

And after all those decades you'd stood by him.

While he'd concentrated on his career rather than you.

After all the affairs and now it was

him who was running out on you.

You weren't prepared to let that happen.

They're running it.

HUMPHREY: So you made a plan. When you came back

from the beach that

night, you brought something with you.

Your husband's gun.

So as you told us,

you believed in your marriage vows.

You were husband and wife.

Together. Forever. Till death do you part!

CAMILLE: But when you killed him, you knew you only

had seconds to

set the scene.

Your son was in his room.

Theo was on the veranda.

They'd both have heard the gunshot.

So how did you escape without being seen?

This is what we realised, we don't think you did.

Because, in the confusion, who would notice

if you had entered the room through the door,

or from behind it?

Dad!

I'm sorry.

Please.

Thank you. But I'm going to stay on the island

a bit longer, I think.

Right, erm, I think I'll just...

Yes.

You know, I'm glad I finally got to meet you.

You are?

All my life, you've been like a spectre.

A shadow hanging over me.

And now I'm not?

Now I know exactly who you are.

Camille, I should have done more.

You did just enough.

You left me to be raised by my mother,

and that's the best gift you could have given me.

I want to give you something.

What is it?

It's my address. In St Lucia. Maybe one day...

You write to me.

Then we'll see.

Man alive, that is what I call getting a round in.

Come on, Chief, it's thirsty work

catching criminals, you know.

Camille!

Camille, you have to believe me,

I only ever wanted to do what was best for you.

You did.

I did?

You did the best for me every day of my life.

Oh!

You know what, Catherine?

In your bar, I feel positively French.

You do?

Yes, so I think it only right that we celebrate your culture

in the only way I know how.

This is not French.

What could be more French than French cricket?

What...

-Catherine, you're too short for a long leg!

-Oh, thank you!

And you're too long for a short leg.

Fidel!

I want you at extra cover on the boundary

but look sharp, I want you in on the one.

Yeah, okay!

And what am I supposed to do?

-Just hit it. -Okay.

Don't worry, it takes time for even the best players to

get their eye in.

Allez.

Ready?

-Yes, sir! -Play!

That's a six, Chief.

It hasn't even hit the ground.

Are you serious?

I can still catch it!

-No!

-Yes! -CAMILLE: No!

Yes!

CAMILLE: Sir! Sir!

How's that!

So have you ever seen a Bonelli's Eagle, Alec?

It's okay to say no.

-Someone should teach him some manners.

-Yes. They probably should.

It's Mr Talbot. He's going without you!

He's trying to see the Green first.

Oh!

-The world of

bird watching may be slightly more cut-throat

than one might assume.

So you said you had a date tonight?

What does he do for a living?
