Original subtitles

If he'd stuck to the diet,

this would have been a whole lot easier.

If he'd stuck to the diet, we wouldn't be here.

My brother didn't listen to you

when he was alive, either.

And he sure as hell ain't listening to you now.

Okay, fellas,

this is not what Cedrik would have wanted.

There's probably not a great deal

I can tell you about Cedrik Verga

that you don't already know yourselves.

The barber shop was,

and hopefully will continue to be,

the hub of our community.

-And the big man

was the beating heart of the place.

But it was his antics outside of work

I think Cedrik will be remembered for.

A rascal,

and the party wasn't over until the fat man

was on his back,

passed out on the floor.

There was another side to Cedrik, too.

He was a caring man.

A man who knew right from wrong.

A man who would've given you the shirt off his back

if the situation called for it.

You know what you did for me, my friend.

Dwayne.

Cedrik was very proud of you, you know.

I hope so.

We thought we'd go back to the barber shop,

have a beer there.

Yeah, he'd like that.

Sunny afternoon, a few beers,

shooting the breeze.

Hoping nobody wanted a haircut.

You go ahead. I'll catch you up, yeah?

Come.

I'll see you later.

Watch out for Dwayne.

FLORENCE: Food is

a demonstration of love.

-FLORENCE: Of course.

Women love men who can cook.

Yes, sir, Florence is right.

I made Rosey dinner the other evening.

I thought she was going to propose.

I can cook.

-Mmm-hmm.

Well-known for it.

So, what's your signature dish?

Shepherd's pie.

-Shepherd's... -Shepherd's pie.

Lamb mince, onions, carrots, peas, gravy granules.

Mashed potato on the top, whack it in the oven.

What are gravy granules?

Gravy, in powdered form.

Just have to add water.

And you can eat it?

Mmm-hmm. Or drink it in a mug, dip in a slice of bread.

I think this might be tougher than we think.

Dwayne! Um...

I didn't expect you back today.

Um, how was it?

Well, obviously it was a funeral, so...

I imagine it would be as good as a funeral can be,

not good exactly,

but, um...

-Yes, Chief.

Yes, of course.

Mmm. Thank you.

Well, it's a prank.

In poor taste, perhaps, but still.

But it's from Cedrik's phone.

And I put the phone in his coffin myself.

You put it in his coffin?

It's an island thing.

People get buried with their phones,

so you can send them a last message.

I see.

You just don't expect any to come back the other way.

Quite. When was it sent?

Ten minutes after the funeral had finished.

Right. So, Cedrik, the coffin and the phone are

in the ground...

Furnace. He was cremated.

Ah.

Isn't that a bit dangerous

-Anyway,

it doesn't matter now.

And there was nothing suspicious about his death?

No, he passed away in his sleep.

The coroner confirmed it as natural causes.

Uh, didn't you say he was a bit of a practical joker?

He was.

But why would he say he'd been murdered?

Because you're a policeman?

Maybe.

You're not convinced.

Chief, I've known Cedrik since I was 13 years old.

Cedrik's jokes were rubber chickens

and super-gluing your drink to the bar,

not this!

Not to me, no way!

Okay. Let's think about this logically.

Now, clearly, Cedrik himself couldn't have

sent that message.

He was dead. Agreed?

Agreed.

So, the simple fact is someone else

must have sent it.

And the question is,

did they do it with or without Cedrik's prior knowledge?

Now, if it is just a prank,

it's in pretty poor taste if Cedrik wasn't involved.

However,

if he did set someone else up to send that text

after his death,

that would mean he knew he was about to die.

Yet from what you say,

he died unexpectedly in his sleep, so how could he?

What?

Cedrik gave me this a few days before he passed away.

-I better be going, you know. -Mmm!

DWAYNE: What?

I want you to take this. Something to remember me by.

Cedrik wore this every day. Never took it off.

Wait, you think he gave it to you

because he thought something was going to happen to him?

Well...

Then, why wouldn't he tell you when he was alive,

rather than send a mystery text

after his death?

I don't know, Chief.

None of this makes any sense.

Look, like you said,

it was a prank. Let's just leave it like that.

-Forget it. -No, no, no, no, look.

He was your friend. And maybe there's a small part of you

that doesn't want let him go. And that's okay.

Because, you know, friendship is important.

I'll tell you what.

Let's you and me go and take a little look.

Shall we?

That's Cedrik's barber shop, just there.

-I thought he died at home. -He did.

His house is just up the road there.

Cedrik was never one for a long commute.

So, who found him?

Ottilie, his girlfriend.

She lives up in the hills.

How did you know him?

Ah, I was about 13, 14.

I was hanging out with the bad boys, you know?

-Anyway, one night,

we was passing by Cedrik's barber shop

and noticed a window open round the side.

Me being the smallest,

I climbed in to case the joint,

see if there was any cash or valuables lying around.

You were a juvenile delinquent?

Excellent.

So, what happened?

Suddenly, I felt a hand on my collar.

Boom!

It was pitch black.

I couldn't see diddly-squat.

Next thing I know, my feet are off the ground

and I'm staring into the angry eyes of Cedrik Verga.

He painted a picture for me.

Where the road I was on would lead me

or what could be possible if I put all

my energy into something good instead.

He gave me a simple choice that night.

Either he went to the police

or I changed my ways and worked in his barber shop

every Saturday for free.

Child labour. Good option.

I didn't care. It changed everything for me.

I started to take my studies seriously.

Turned up for school.

So Cedrik's the reason you're where you are now.

He thought I could do better

and I believed him.

It's a very nice sentiment, Dwayne.

We had a lot of good nights here,

you know.

Shall we go inside? Oh, yeah.

Cedrik never had much time for keys.

Liked to drink, though.

There was an all-night vigil before the funeral.

Turned into a bit of a party.

-Yeah.

-He was a big man. -He was.

Who are this people with him?

Father Floyd.

Cedrik's brother Temmy. And Dr Ivann Tate.

Ah. That's them as well.

The Four Musketeers.

They've been friends their whole lives.

What's this?

Cedrik had sleep apnoea.

He had to wear that thing at night to keep

his airways open.

Sleep apnoea is when you stop breathing in

your sleep, right?

I think so.

And then the brain realises it's not getting any oxygen

and wakes you up with a start,

at which point, hopefully, you start breathing again.

That pillow is missing a case.

Do you remember if it was like that

last night?

No.

Well, from everything I've learnt,

Cedrik didn't have the healthiest lifestyle.

He was overweight. He had sleep apnoea.

There was also something about his heart.

Blocked arteries.

Too many cigars.

So the likelihood is

had to be natural causes.

Hard to see past that, if I'm being honest, Dwayne.

You're right, Chief.

I'm sorry I wasted your time.

Three things bother me.

One.

Prank or not, of all the things

to send in a message from the grave,

"I was murdered" is pretty specific.

Two.

Why give you something to remember him by

unless he thought he wasn't going to be around?

-You said three. -Three.

Why have only one pillow

without a pillowcase?

Right, drop me back at the shack.

And then go home. Take some time, okay?

If you can get the pillow to the lab on your way,

tell them I asked if they could prioritise it.

What am I asking them to look for?

I've no idea.

FLORENCE: Coroner's report

on Cedrik Verga.

Right.

"Severe atheroma of all three major coronary arteries.

"Such a degree of disease would, on balance

of probabilities,

"be sufficient to cause a cardiac arrhythmia

"and sudden death consistent with

the history available."

Death certificate signed by Dr Ivann Tate.

A life-long friend of Cedrik's.

Ah, JP. How'd you get on with the door

Anything of interest?

Mainly a big outpouring of love.

He was liked by everybody.

I talked to the woman who lives above

the barber shop.

She said that Cedrik, his brother Temmy,

Father Floyd and Ivann

were downstairs the night Cedrik died.

Said she heard raised voices around half midnight.

-It's hard to say.

She said they were always noisy

and she didn't think much of it.

So, Cedrik drinking with his friends

like he always did.

No doubt smoking, too, like he always did.

Arteries clogging up. He goes home,

he gets into bed,

where the coroner says he suffered

a cardiac arrhythmia

and certain death consistent with a blah, blah, blah.

-Pretty much.

Honore Police.

Just a moment.

-The lab for you. -Right, the pillow.

Last box to tick. DI Goodman.

You're sure?

Belonging to whom?

Right.

Conclusion?

Yes. Yes, please.

As soon as it's typed up.

Thank you. Bye.

Sir?

The lab found saliva and sweat on the pillow,

nothing unusual in that.

But they were intrigued with the

grouping, so they ran further tests.

And they found

DNA hotspots correlating to the

location of the eyes, nose and mouth.

DNA belonging to who?

Well, they need to run further tests,

but almost certainly Cedrik.

But what does that mean?

Well, this pattern wouldn't show up

if he was simply resting his face

on the pillow.

It would require extreme pressure.

It would need to be pushed down hard.

Someone held it over his face?

Yes.

Despite the coroner's report, despite his medical condition,

it seems Cedrik's message from beyond

the grave was true.

He was murdered.

DWAYNE: So, it's true?

Cedrik gave me this because he knew he was

going to be killed?

Why would a man who knew he was

about to be killed

just accept it and do nothing to

protect himself?

And who sent the message?

Why send the message?

Why not just report it?

You said his girlfriend discovered the body?

That's right. Ottilie.

Well, she's not a bad place to start.

You're right, Chief.

It's time to put back on my uniform.

-JP, let's go. -HUMPHREY: Good.

Florence, you and I should go and see these

remaining Musketeers.

Dwayne, I don't mean to pry but...

-No.

My lungs feel like they're about to explode.

I meant about everything that happened.

Just tell me to shut up if you don't want

to talk about it.

-Shut up. -Okay.

You know it's weird,

when Cedrik died, I felt so helpless.

At least now it feels like I can

finally do something for him.

Yeah, cool.

Wow. I had no idea this road was so long.

And so steep.

The clue's in the name, JP.

Hill Rise. So Ottilie lives here?

Cedrik was very much like me in that respect.

What he lacked in assets he made up for in charm.

Dwayne?

FLORENCE: That's Cedrik's brother.

He is the headmaster.

-Temmy Verga. -DI Goodman, DS Cassell.

-Pleased to meet you. -I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

You said you wanted to talk about Cedrik?

-Uh, yes, if that's all right. -Of course.

I've asked Ivann and Floyd to come along

as you requested.

Thank you.

Come this way.

Last Tuesday around 10:00 a.m.,

I got a phone call from the barbers,

checking to see if Cedrik was with me.

-No.

I couldn't get hold of him on his phone

so I went to his house.

Cedrik! Cedrik.

He was stone cold.

It's the biggest regret of my life,

not spending that last night with him.

When you entered his house, nothing looked unusual?

Out of place?

How was Cedrik the week before he died?

Same old Cedrik.

A little quieter, maybe.

His phone?

The one I put in his coffin for him.

Yes?

Did anyone else touch it before you gave it to me?

I don't think so.

Look, Dwayne, you're really scaring me.

Why are you here?

Sorry, I'm late. Uh, Dr Ivann Tate.

DI Goodman.

-Father Floyd. -Father.

What's going on?

It's about Cedrik.

There's some evidence that might

suggest he didn't die of natural causes.

We are considering all possibilities.

He had sudden heart failure.

Uh, yes, he did and we're trying

to establish why.

Wait. You're suggesting Cedrik was murdered?

Actually, I haven't suggested anything yet.

Do you gentleman know if anyone had

a grudge against Cedrik?

He was an affable sort of guy.

Popular, laid-back.

He didn't attract trouble.

The night before Cedrik died, you

were all with him at the barber shop.

What was the occasion?

Cedrik had arranged a game of poker.

FLORENCE: What time did you arrive?

VERGA: Uh, around 8:00 p.m.?

Did Cedrik mention feeling unwell?

Not at first. He said he felt unwell later.

TATE: He was drunk.

He was tipsy, Ivann. Not exactly falling over.

We've got reports of raised voices

around half past midnight.

We'd... We'd gone by then, hadn't we?

It wasn't an argument as such.

Ivann and Temmy had just left,

I was trying to persuade Cedrik

to go home.

He said he felt unwell. But he'd

already cracked open another bottle.

Kill or cure, as he used to say.

And you tried to stop him drinking.

Tempers flared?

Hardly. It was a 30-second discussion,

after which I left him to it and caught up with the others.

Uh, Dr Tate, your name appears on

the death certificate.

Ottilie rang me when she found Cedrik.

I raced over, so it fell to me to...

to certify him dead.

"Sudden death consistent with the history available."

That's what it read on the report.

Yes.

And if there's been some sort of mistake,

it's got nothing to do with me.

I wasn't the pathologist.

Poker night?

Uh, yes, Cedrik organised a card

game for his friends the night he died.

And I wasn't invited?

Now, I keep coming back to that question.

If Cedrik knew his life was in danger,

why not raise the alarm?

Well, Ottilie thought he was quieter than normal.

She tried to talk to him but he wouldn't open up.

Uh, Dwayne, presumably you've known Cedrik's friends

as long as you've known him. What else can you

tell us about them?

Uh, Father Floyd.

Well, they all grew up together.

When they left school, Floyd went to

the seminary in Martinique.

He came back in his late 20s, and took up his

post in Honore.

Dr Ivann Tate.

Ivann went to medical school in London

before coming back to open up his practice here.

I never heard Cedrik say a bad word about him.

He's a nice man. Kind, compassionate.

-My mother's.

She speaks very highly of him.

Which leaves us his brother Temmy.

I guess he must have been the closest to Cedrik.

Blood's thicker than water and all that.

What?

Well, back in the day, Ottilie and Temmy

had been an item. We're talking

childhood sweethearts.

But we all kind of knew that Temmy thought she was the one.

And then years later, Cedrik hooks up with her?

-Difficult to know.

My guess is that he took it all in his stride.

He was the total opposite to Cedrik.

Quiet. Never made a fuss.

Even though his care-free brother's

taken off with the love of his life.

Sorry, Dwayne.

Oh, um, Temmy got into a fight in a bar recently.

He was given a caution.

That can't be right.

I would have known.

It was a place on Sainte-Helene,

two weeks ago.

One week before Cedrik was killed.

Hmm. All right, Dwayne, JP, I want you to go

back to Cedrik's house,

see if there any papers, anything that

can tell us something we don't know.

Chief.

Florence, we need to speak to Temmy again.

Back to school.

Why go to a bar on another island?

I went for a quiet drink.

-Mmm-hmm.

And then you got into a barroom brawl?

That was unfortunate.

Wrong time, wrong place.

Anthony! Walk.

We understand that you'd recently found out

about your brother's relationship

with Ottilie?

Ottilie and I was a very long time ago.

Cedrik did what he wanted to do.

No one was going to stop him.

But someone has stopped him, Temmy.

The night he died, you attended his poker night.

-It must be upsetting,

Cedrik carrying on with his life,

getting drunk, living it up.

Meanwhile, you were on the sidelines,

looking on as he gets the girl.

Ottilie is not a girl.

And I'm not some angst-ridden teenager.

We're all grown-ups.

Dwayne describes you as being quiet.

Not one to make a fuss.

Yet you're cautioned for fighting in a bar.

What is that

All that pent-up frustration, you just gotta let

it out sometimes.

I like your version of me.

It's much more interesting than the truth.

I may have loved Ottilie once.

But I loved my brother more.

HUMPHREY: How does it go?

"Beware the wrath of a quiet man."

I know where this is going, Chief.

But Temmy hasn't got it in him.

Look at the timeline.

News drops about Ottilie's relationship with Cedrik.

Temmy, completely out of character,

gets caught up in a bar fight

and less than a week later, Cedrik is murdered.

Temmy would not kill his brother.

I heard about the development in

the Cedrik Verga case, Officer Myers.

Most unfortunate.

Thank you, Commissioner.

Inspector Goodman?

Yep.

Cedrik Verga was an important part of all our community.

He'll be missed.

Yes, so I understand, sir.

This message from the grave, it's a bad business.

If it turns out to have been a prank,

we all look very foolish.

Yes, sir, and while I can't explain

the mystery text message yet,

I do believe that Cedrik

Verga was murdered.

You're sure?

As I can be, sir.

It's hard enough for Cedrik's friends to come to

terms with his death.

Then we have this whole anniversary

business on top of that.

Anniversary?

It's 45 years since Hurricane Frances,

we've got to remembrance ceremony this evening.

It will be difficult for everyone

but especially for Cedrik's friends.

Why might that be, sir?

They lost a friend.

The night of the hurricane.

I'm sorry, I didn't realise.

All I can ask is

if feathers are to be ruffled,

that you'll ruffle them as delicately as possible.

Oh...

And, uh,

keep an eye on Officer Myers.

We all know the story about the boy thief

who grew up to become a policeman

and how close he was to Cedrik.

Yes, of course, sir.

Trouble, Chief?

Hmm? No, no, no. It's just,

uh, you know, the usual.

To be kept in the loop.

Hurricane Frances.

-Five.

It's our biggest natural disaster.

You know, one of the victims was close to

Cedrik and his friends.

Don't know.

It's not the kind of thing people talk about.

HUMPHREY: Right.

Ah, here we are. A list of the causalities.

Yes, four of them were grown-up

and... Oh, yes, here we are.

Vincent Garcia.

"Vincent was as much a victim of the myth of Mont Clair

"as the storm itself."

What does that mean?

What

Do you want to know if you're going to Heaven

or Hell, Chief?

Not particularly.

Then don't go up to Mont Clair in a storm.

Ah! Yes, hi. If you just could

leave that there.

Uh, thank you. Yes.

What's that?

Well, I've been considering what you said yesterday,

for once,

about the food of love and all that and, uh,

well, I've decided to test my culinary skills.

And I'll be delighted if you three would be my guinea pigs.

That would be... Nice.

-Sure. -Good.

There's a remembrance night in the square.

For the victims of Hurricane Frances.

Cedrik would want me to be there.

Yes, of course. Yes.

Oh, and you know, Dwayne, you still have, um,

compassionate leave, you know. Feel free to take

it if you want it.

How about I catch up with you for dinner after

this thing is over?

Excellent.

DWAYNE: Gentlemen.

Dwayne.

Cedrik would be ashamed of you, Dwayne.

What?

Divulging Temmy's

personal affairs to your superior.

I take it it was you?

Look, nothing about this is personal.

You're a traitor, Dwayne.

There's still that question.

Why did Cedrik not do anything to protect himself

when it appears he knew he was about to be murdered?

Maybe he did something wrong himself.

If he told the police about the threat of murder,

he'd have to confess about the reason for the threat.

That doesn't really tie in with

the whole Temmy jealousy motive

but, uh, it's an interesting thought,

Florence.

Right.

-Shepherd's pie.

Thought I'd show you what I got.

And I was hoping it might make Dwayne feel a bit better.

I'm worried about Dwayne.

Yes. Me, too.

I mean, these weren't just Cedrik's friends,

they were Dwayne's friends as well.

It's all a bit too close to home.

No, I'm worried about where he is.

That remembrance ceremony finished ages ago.

Maybe I should go and look for him.

I think we should take the pie out.

It's been in the oven for two hours!

-Chief! -HUMPHREY: There you are!

I've just seen Ottilie in a compromising

situation with another man!

News of our investigation is spreading.

So I asked around.

And she's been seen out and about

with this new fella

ever since Cedrik died.

You think she might have been cheating on him?

She obviously wanted him out of the way.

And that gives her motive.

You don't know that.

Listen, Cedrik gave me this for a reason.

Finally, this is something that makes sense.

I'm going to have to catch her red-handed.

How do you propose to do that?

Surveillance.

We haven't eaten.

Not now. In the morning!

Fine. Right now I think you ought to grab a chair,

calm yourself down, come and partake

of some of this.

Finally.

I thought it would have been burnt to a crisp by now.

So did I.

Schoolboy error. Easily rectified.

Just give it another 40 minutes.

Would anybody like some toast?

-Morning, Florence. -Morning, sir.

Oh, I've been thinking.

If I'm going to woo the ladies with my culinary skills,

I think I need to invest in a cookery book.

I don't know.

Maybe turning on the oven might be a good start.

Yes, the devil is in the detail.

Oh, what's this?

It's addressed to Cedrik.

Oh, yeah, the postman had heard about

our investigation into Cedrik's death.

So, he delivered that here.

Right. Uh...

It's a watch.

It appears Cedrik ordered it on the 10th.

Two days before Cedrik died.

It's a shame. Yes, it is.

It is a shame.

It sort of undoes everything.

Sorry?

Well, I was working on the basis

that Cedrik thought he was going to die.

But why would you order a watch

if you thought you were about to die?

In the box of Cedrik's paperwork.

Love letters, by the look of it.

Really?

They're not signed but they're

addressed to Father Floyd.

Father Floyd's having an affair?

Why would Cedrik have another man's love letters?

Hang on.

The argument between Father Floyd and Cedrik,

supposedly about his drinking.

You think it might have been about these?

I think it's time we paid Father Floyd a visit.

Come on, number two.

I'm afraid I've got another funeral in 20 minutes.

Well, I'm sure it won't take that long.

Okay, we can see Ottilie's driveway from here.

Do you really think

Ottilie could have anything to do with Cedrik's death?

It's just, you know, she seemed heartbroken

when we spoke to her.

People put on fronts, JP, happens all the time.

She's on the move.

Why did Cedrik have these letters, Father?

I wanted his advice. I had no idea he'd kept them.

He obviously knew about the affair.

It was not an affair.

Then, what was it?

I fell in love with a parishioner.

Cedrik told me I had a choice.

Remain a priest or leave my vocation and be with her.

That doesn't sound like Cedrik. I mean,

he was a bit of a hedonist, wasn't he?

Have a nice time and be damned with the consequences?

These have got nothing to do with Cedrik's death!

Murder.

What was the argument about, Father?

I've already told you.

You had a pop at him for drinking too much.

The thing is he always drank too much.

That wasn't news to you.

Was Cedrik becoming a little indiscreet, Father?

-No. -Did you want

your letters back?

I loved Cedrik.

He had more integrity than anyone I know.

And I am not going to stand here and listen to you

sully a good man's reputation.

I'd like you to leave.

What would happen if people found

out Father Floyd was having an affair?

Presumably he'd lose his job.

It's not just that.

People hold him in such high esteem.

Yes, it would be an almighty fall from grace.

If Cedrik decided to spill the beans,

Father Floyd would lose everything.

Whose house is that?

Bingo. Ottilie's upgrade.

Phone the Chief.

Good afternoon. Inspector Goodman,

Sergeant Cassell.

Sorry to bother you but...

Playing the part of the grieving widow

then sneaking off to meet your toy boy?

He looks after the lady who lives here.

Sorry. Whose house is this?

Mrs Garcia's.

I thought Cedrik was sneaking off to see another woman.

He only told me the truth about it when I

challenged him.

What is Cedrik's connection with Mrs Garcia?

He was friends with her son.

Vincent Garcia.

"Vincent was as much a victim of the

"myth of Mont Clair as the storm itself."

The boy who died in Hurricane Frances?

Mmm-hmm.

Can we speak to her?

She doesn't know that Cedrik has passed.

Please don't tell her.

Madam.

Some friends of Cedrik's are here.

They'd like to meet you.

Pleased to meet you, Mrs Garcia.

I'm Inspector Goodman. I'm here with my colleague,

Officer Myers.

Dwayne?

That's right.

Cedrik talks about you all the time.

He's very proud.

Don't fuss, Morgan, I'm fine.

I believe Cedrik visits you a lot.

Yeah, he understands. Time doesn't heal everything.

He is the only person who still

mentions my son's name.

I'm very sorry about what happened to Vincent.

I can picture them now.

Walking off down the road.

Vincent wanted to go into the hills,

into the rainforest.

We hammered it into all of the children.

The mountain was out of bounds.

Vincent was so stubborn.

The others saw the storm coming and tried to stop him.

Told him to come with them down

to the jetty and hide under a boat.

But he just ran off!

The police searched for him for weeks

but they never found his body.

I don't think the other boys

ever forgave themselves.

Yes, when you say other boys...

Cedrik and his three friends.

Ivann...

Floyd and Temmy?

If Vincent had stayed with them,

he would still be alive today.

She needs to rest now. Come.

What's wrong with her, Ottilie?

She has pancreatic cancer.

She's getting treatment?

Palliative care.

She'd be in hospital by now if it wasn't for Cedrik.

What's it got to do with Cedrik?

He organised for her medical

bills to be paid.

How could he afford that? I don't think he did it alone.

He asked the others to help.

How long has Mrs Garcia got?

A few weeks at best.

The cancer was at an advanced stage

by the time they discovered it.

Originally she was misdiagnosed with depression.

By who?

I don't think it's my place to say.

It's a doctor, I presume?

Dr Ivann Tate.

Now, JP, could you run a financial check

on Dr Tate, please?

Florence, you and I should go speak with him in person.

-Okay. -Now, Dwayne,

this came in the post for Cedrik this morning.

-He ordered it for himself.

Cedrik hated watches.

He said it made people watch their lives tick away.

Yes, well, I quite agree with that.

Well, maybe it was a gift for someone.

What

No, sir.

Cedrik had more class than that, Chief.

Someone made a mistake.

Right.

Come on, Florence.

JP?

I'm going to tell you something now.

You have to promise never to repeat it.

I'm scared.

I've looked up to these men my whole life

and I'm just starting to wonder

if I got it all wrong.

Hey. If it's any consolation, Dwayne,

I'm here for you.

Thank you.

HUMPHREY: We understand that you

failed to spot Mrs Garcia's cancer.

Is that why you decided to help foot

her medical bills?

I like the woman. She was the mother

of an old friend of mine.

Vincent?

Yes.

I believe that pancreatic cancer

is notoriously difficult to diagnose.

The symptoms are often confused with depression.

That what I presumed. Why would you presume that?

After losing her son,

she'd suffered from depression for most of her adult life.

I just thought it was getting worse.

Any reason why it should?

Old age. The anniversary.

She often talked about dying without

ever knowing what happened to Vincent.

That's so sad.

Cedrik suggested we pay for her care.

In memory of Vincent.

The truth is we were glad to do it.

Chief? Dr Tate has been overdrawn at his bank

for most of the past 12 months.

He's also taken out a loan

and all of his savings accounts

have been emptied.

Sounds like he's struggling to pay for Mrs Garcia's care.

Maybe Cedrik was forcing his hand?

Or Dr Tate was so genuinely racked with guilt

about his misdiagnosis of Mrs Garcia.

Still, it's completely disproportionate.

There has to be more to it.

Ottilie notices Cedrik is withdrawn.

He then gives Dwayne a gold chain,

saying that he wants you to have

something to remember him by.

All of this suggests he knows what's coming.

Yet two days before his murder,

he orders a cheap watch.

You're sure Cedrik never wore a watch?

Never.

And neither do you, sir.

Me? Of course not, there's no point.

I mean, you just have to walk down the street.

There are clocks everywhere.

The town hall, the pharmacy's got one.

I'm positively bombarded by time,

I don't like it.

No, I can't ever imagine a scenario

where I'd need a watch.

Well, say you're stranded on a desert island.

Why would I need to keep track of the

time on a desert island, JP

Okay. Say you are held hostage.

Chained to a radiator in a darkened room.

You have no idea where you are...

Knowing that it's quarter to 11 or not

is not going to help me, JP.

Actually, that's genius.

JP, that is genius! That is why Cedrik

bought the watch.

Maybe he'd done something wrong himself.

I want you to take this. Something to remember me by.

Death certificate signed by Dr Ivann Tate.

Four Musketeers. They've been

friends their whole lives.

HUMPHREY: How long has Mrs Garcia got?

A few weeks at best.

He had more integrity than anyone I know.

It's a watch.

Cedrik hated watches.

I came to warn you. We're going to

get hit by a Category 3 storm tonight.

I've spoken with the harbour master, he says...

Sorry.

The myth of Mont Clair.

What is it, exactly?

Legend has it that if the eye of a storm

passes directly over the island,

the firmament opens up above Mont Clair

and you'll get to see your final destination.

Final destination?

You get to see if you're going to...

Heaven or Hell, brilliant.

JP, you're the closest thing we have to a teenage boy.

So, um, imagine, if you wouldn't mind,

you're at the peak of your adolescent recklessness,

surrounded by your closest buddies.

A hurricane is due in a matter of hours.

You've all heard the stories of Mont Clair.

Wouldn't you be tempted to go on

a bit of a Boys' Own adventure

into the jungle?

-Well, yes, of course you would.

-Yes, yes, I would.

And if there were five of you and four of you

didn't want to go,

you wouldn't go off on your own.

You're relating Cedrik's murder

back to a 45

Yes, sir. Yes, I think I am.

I think those five young boys went up the mountain together,

and if they did, they know what happened to

Vincent Garcia.

You think that's why Cedrik was murdered?

Because he was going to reveal what he knew?

Exactly.

Even if that's true,

why would Cedrik break his silence now?

Because Mrs Garcia's condition was worsening.

There was every chance that she was going to

go to her grave

not knowing what really

happened to her son.

I believe that Cedrik let it be known

that he was going to confess about Vincent Garcia.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Can I just get

this straight, please?

You're saying that Cedrik and his friends

had something to do with Vincent

Garcia's disappearance?

Yes.

And then you're saying Cedrik's brother and

his closest friends

turned on him and murdered him?

Just say your scenario is true.

How would you even start to prove it?

Especially if they've gone to the length

of killing Cedrik to keep their secret buried.

The problem with this case has always been

the lack of a body.

Which isn't going to change.

Yes, but if we could find Vincent Garcia's remains,

I believe that we could solve Cedrik's murder.

I searched that jungle with everybody else.

How likely is it you'll find his body now?

With the greatest respect, sir, that was

45 years ago. Things have moved on.

You know, we have sonar, 3D-imaging...

None of which we have on the island.

Please.

Let us try.

-Dwayne... -Shh!

Come, come, come!

If anyone sees me here, I'm done.

Career over. Come.

How long have you known me?

I don't know.

About 30

And we trust each other, right?

If you know where Vincent Garcia's

body is, please tell me.

I think you should take some time out, my friend.

I'm begging for your help here,

you know, Father.

Because the only thing I'm interested

in right now is Cedrik's reputation.

I don't want his good name linked to

the death of a child.

We cannot help you!

We don't know what happened to Vincent Garcia!

This is ridiculous.

Because there's a 3D-imaging radar device

being flown in from Martinique in the morning.

And when this storm has passed?

They're going to send it up into the jungle.

And if there is a body up there,

they're going to find it.

Well, I hope they do. It will put a lot

of minds at rest.

Look, you sure about this?

Yes, yes.

-We have no choice. -Come.

VERGA: If the river breaches,

we'll never get back down again.

This is as far as we can go in the car.

What the hell was that?

HUMPHREY: Dr Ivann Tate, Temmy Verga,

Father Floyd Lynch.

You're all under arrest for suspicion of murder.

Dwayne, cuff them.

A child's remains has been found

at the site where you arrested the men.

Sorry to be the bearer of such grim news.

I'll go and break the news to Vincent Garcia's mother.

Commissioner.

I'd like to do that, please.

That woman deserves an apology.

And you have absolutely nothing

to apologise for.

Shall I get the suspects from the cell?

Yes, please.

Oh, and Ottilie Dubois.

Can you call and arrange for her

to join us at Cedrik's barber shop?

Yes, Chief.

HUMPHREY: This has been an especially

hard case to solve. We began with an anonymous

text message to Officer Myers...

Dwayne.

On further investigation,

forensic evidence from Cedrik's pillow

told us that he'd almost

certainly been smothered.

We believed that the killer had to be

someone close to him.

Yet we were dealing with three men who, ostensibly,

loved and cared for the victim more than anyone

else in the world.

However,

all three of you also had motives

for murdering Cedrik.

Father.

You knew he had the knowledge and the evidence

to bring your world crashing round your ears.

He would never have used that against me.

No, of course not, I don't think so, either.

Temmy.

You could only watch

as the woman you'd held a torch

for your whole life

chose your brother over you.

Finally, you, Dr Tate.

You see, we couldn't believe

that you'd hand over your life savings

to Mrs Garcia

because of a mistake that any doctor

could have made.

So, was there something else that

made you pay for Mrs Garcia's care?

Guilt, perhaps?

No.

The reason Cedrik was murdered

had everything to do with the Garcia family, didn't it?

All of us are happy to speak about

what happened to Vincent Garcia.

HUMPHREY: Mmm-hmm.

As for it having anything to do with Cedrik's death...

Tell us what happened to the boy.

When the storm hit,

we decided to take cover in the old boat

we used to play on, under the jetty.

But Vincent wanted to go up to Mont Clair instead.

We tried to talk him out of it.

But he wouldn't listen.

This is very well remembered,

bearing in mind how long ago all this happened.

It's almost as though you've rehearsed it.

How dare you?

Perhaps you practised again last night after

Dwayne left you?

You think they fell for it?

HUMPHREY: Let's go.

The remains of Vincent Garcia

were found on Mont Clair at dawn this morning.

Three yards from where you were arrested last night.

I mean, I hate coincidences at the best of times,

but that is a humdinger.

It's time for you to tell the truth.

For all this time, a mother has been waiting

to find out what happened to her child.

And you have said nothing!

Done nothing to alleviate her pain.

It was an accident. Temmy...

I've been carrying this around my whole life.

We all have.

It's weighing me down.

Vincent was younger than us.

We used to tease him.

Get him to do things just so we could laugh at him.

We threw mangoes at him.

I threw his hat into the river.

Told him he had to go and get it back

or his mother would be upset.

He fell and banged his head.

We tried to save him.

We dragged him out of the river.

But it was too late, he was already...

We didn't know what to do!

We were told not to go up there.

So we put him under the roots of a dead tree,

covered him with whatever we could find

and let the storm do the rest.

We made up the story about him running away.

We made a pact.

-No.

We decided in whatever capacity we could,

we would give ourselves back to the island.

We would atone.

Yes, but more recently, it got to

the point where this so-called atonement

wasn't good enough for one of you, was it?

What sort of state was Cedrik in before he died, Ottilie?

He'd found out that Mrs Garcia was about to die.

He was upset about that but I knew there

was more to it.

It felt like he owed her something.

I wasn't sure what but I knew it

involved his friends.

Or at least Ivann.

You sent that text, didn't you?

I knew that something must have happened.

The way he was with me.

He kept saying how I'd be okay without him.

He knew something was going to happen to him.

I took the SIM card out of his phone

before I gave it to Dwayne

to put in the coffin.

I honestly don't know why I sent that message.

Part of me thought I was imagining things,

that I was being foolish.

I just knew something wasn't right.

What would people think?

What would people think if you openly pointed

the finger at them?

And say you were wrong. It had to be anonymous.

And if they were prepared to silence him,

well, then, maybe they'd do the same to you.

For God's sake, Otti. No one is silencing anyone.

See, all this time, I've been asking myself the question.

Why Cedrik seemed so resigned to the

fact that he was going to be murdered?

Why? Why not raise the alarm, tell someone he

was in trouble?

The answer lay here. A cheap watch,

purchased two days before he died.

Why? It doesn't make sense.

For a start, Cedrik never wore a watch.

So why on earth would he buy one now?

See, the sad fact is that Cedrik didn't

think he was going to be murdered.

I think...

I think he was going to confess.

Confess and let Vincent's mother

die in peace,

finally knowing what happened to her son.

Cedrik didn't need a watch to see his life tick by.

But he knew he'd need one in jail.

They do say that not knowing the time

can start to drive you a little crazy inside.

Cedrik never thought he was going to get killed.

He thought he was going to prison.

And the gold chain?

That was just a parting gift to someone he

really cared about.

Cedrik was ready to admit

to a crime committed 45 years ago.

And he was prepared to take his punishment.

But you three weren't. And that is why he had to die.

None of us would harm Cedrik. We loved him!

I would never hurt him.

You've been awfully quiet, Father.

I imagine it's hard.

Standing every day in that pulpit,

preaching the word of God. And every day, having to live

with the truth of what you've done.

Of all of you,

I imagine you had the most to lose.

Am I right?

It wasn't them.

I killed Cedrik.

But why, Floyd?

Because all we did was play a game.

It wasn't fair that he was going to take away everything,

just because of a woman who was dying anyway.

He told me what he was going to do.

After the poker, that's why we argued.

When I got home, I couldn't stop

thinking about it.

What we'd lose. All of us! And for what?

So, I went to see him, to talk sense into him.

But when I got there, he was fast asleep.

I had heard Ivann talking to him,

saying how if he wasn't careful,

he'd have a heart attack one day,

just go to sleep and never wake up.

I found myself picking up the pillow...

FLORENCE: Stop!

You know, Dwayne,

in the end, all the good things Cedrik

did is what brought the truth to light.

People loved him.

It's what made Ottilie send that text.

It's what made you want to find out the truth.

As you sow, so shall you reap. Exactly.

You know, Chief, I've been thinking

about this whole atonement thing.

I mean, Ivann became a doctor.

Then there was a priest, a teacher.

I wonder how Cedrik had atoned?

Well, he was the only one who tried

to keep Vincent's memory alive.

Hmm...

I think it might be why he helped me,

too, you know.

I daresay it was.

Although...

Generally speaking,

I think that good people tend to gravitate

towards good people.

That's why we make a good team.

Hey, surely that goes without saying, Dwayne.

Anyway, thank you, Chief.

Thank you

Listening to me.

Well...

Come on. Got some cold

beers in the fridge.

Yes, aye.

The oven was definitely on this time.

I checked myself.

Ho ho ho!

Shepherd's pie.

And this time, it is piping hot.

Great, gravy and mash.

Just the sort of thing you want to eat

when it's 96 degrees in the shade.

What?

It smells... I don't know.

Good?

This is my mum's recipe.

She gave it to me when I went to university.

Stopped me from getting scurvy.

And the beauty of this is...

you only need a fork.

Less washing up.

Now, before we start, a toast.

To absent friends.

JP: To absent friends.

Tuck in!

Mmm... Wow!

This is good!

Like, really good.

DWAYNE: If this doesn't wow the ladies,

Chief, I don't know what will.

Aunt Mary!

HUMPHREY: Aunt Mary was always my most favourite aunt.

FLORENCE: Well, she witnessed the victim's death

and she's saying it wasn't an accident.

And you think that that man's death

might have something to do with me?

The Commissioner says he's going

to show me the sights himself.

It's a sacrifice I'm prepared to make.

This is the police! Who's there?
