APPLAUSE

Andrina?

She's arrived.

Are you sure you're OK with
her staying in my guest room?

It was her choice.

It's good to be back.

You know, I wouldn't have
started my own business,

VP Island Construction,

without all the lessons I
learned from living at Miracles.

When I first came here...

..I... I wanted to
run for the hills.

Someone here...

..taught me how to be resilient,

resourceful and brave.

Thank you, Miss Laforge.

I owe you and Miracles so much.

Now, I know there
must be some kids here

who feel lost and lonely.

I get it.

I was you.

But I'm proof that things
really can get better...

..and that's why I'm asking
everyone to make a donation

and ensure Miracles is always
here for the island's children

so they can achieve their
full potential, just like me.

APPLAUSE

Thank you.

Excellent speech, Vincent.

Well, let's hope it encourages a
few people to open up their wallets.

Vincent!

It's so good to see you
back after all this time.

Yeah, I should have
done it sooner.

Do you mind if I take a look around
the old place? Of course not.

You go right ahead.

You must be very proud of him.

Makes it all worthwhile,

knowing you helped someone
find their place in the world.

I better go and mingle. I'll
see you at the raffle draw.

So, at what time are
you meeting Andrina?

Seven.

It's OK to be nervous, Selwyn.

She'll be nervous, too.

It's not nerves. It's
a natural hesitancy.

Sergeant. Officers. Good
afternoon, Commissioner.

Catherine.

This is quite the party.

It's a shame the Inspector
is not here, though.

He says he needs to get the
shack ready for Sophie arriving.

BOTH: Ah!

Well, Marlon has really
thrown himself into it.

Haven't you, Marlon?

GIGGLING

Just doing my bit for
community policing, sir.

You certainly are.

Hi.

I am literally the worst
sales person ever. What?

I've sold, like,
five raffle tickets.

Can I just dump this thing and
hide in my room till this is over?

You could, but remember what we said
in your last counselling session.

You need to stop... BOTH:
Avoiding social situations.

Mm-hm..

Here...

..give me 20.

That should keep Marianne happy.

THEY CHUCKLE

Roy!

Long time, man.

That was a good speech you gave.

I should have told
everyone about the time

we stole them beers and
got wasted in the attic.

Remember that? Yes.

I was proper sick.

Get you anything?

Yeah, I'll go for a beer.

Nice.

All right, see you
'round, Roy. Mm.

Everybody, get
your tickets ready.

Here to draw the numbers are
Saint Marie Police Commissioner

Selwyn Patterson...
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

..and manager of Miracles,
Marianne Laforge.

APPLAUSE

She must be inside.
I'll go get her.

Marianne?

Oh, my God!

Help! Help!

No!

I need help! Someone!

She must have gone this way!

Miss Laforge!

Miss Laforge, it's the police!

Come on, tiger
boy. Get a move on!

SHE PANTS

Stop!

I am sick and tired of playing
hide and seek, Miss Laforge.

Aren't you?

Sir.

Officer Pryce and
Training Officer Curtis

have our suspect, Marianne
Laforge, in custody.

What exactly did Dr
Molyneaux say happened here?

Miss Laforge was discovered
standing over the victim,

holding a knife in her hand.

She then dropped
the knife and ran.

When we apprehended her,

she admitted that she'd
stabbed Vincent Petit.

Vincent was a
teenager at the home.

He was a real Miracles
success story.

He owned VP Island Construction,

one of the island's
biggest construction firms.

I invited him here personally on
behalf of the Board of Trustees.

This was the first time he'd
been back here since he left.

Not the homecoming
he was expecting.

He's got a single stab wound to
the chest just below the heart

and a nasty defensive
wound on his right hand.

Smells like whisky,
but... It's empty.

So, do you have any idea why
Marianne would want to kill him?

None.

She seemed happy to see Vincent.

To tell you the truth, I'm
struggling to comprehend

why any of this has happened.

I don't understand it.

Marianne was
excited about today,

seeing Vincent again
after all these years.

So there was no grievance
between the victim and Mr Laforge

that you were aware of? I have
known Marianne since I was a kid.

She couldn't kill anyone. She
doesn't have a temper to lose.

OK. Thank you.

We are struggling
to make sense of it.

Everyone is just in shock now.

Let's leave Marlon and Darlene
to process the crime scene.

Sir, I think it's time
we update the Inspector.

And we need to go and
speak to our suspect.

I keep playing it over my head.

What have I done?

Erm...

..Marianne,

just talk us through it
slowly from the beginning.

Do you remember what you were
doing inside the hut with Vincent?

I'd gone to get some more
paper plates for the barbecue.

When I got to the rec
room, Vincent was there.

He'd been drinking -

I could smell it on his breath.

I think being back at Miracles had
brought back some bad memories.

In what way?

Vincent lost his parents
when he was 17...

..that's why he came to us.

He was a very hurt
and angry young man.

And despite what he said
in that speech today...

..he was never
happy at the home.

I don't think he ever
really made his peace

with his mum and dad dying
when he was so young.

So what happened this afternoon?

He just seemed so
angry all of a sudden,

like it had all come
to the surface again,

saying how much he
hated being back there,

hated me, everything
about the place.

And that's when he came at me.

He attacked you?

I was scared what he might do,
so I grabbed the knife and...

..I don't know how...

I didn't mean to stab him.

I just wanted him to
stop coming at me.

I didn't mean to do it,

really, I didn't.

I'm so sorry.

So, we're looking
at self-defence?

I suppose that makes a little more
sense of it all, don't you think?

Well, it does make
sense up to a point,

but then at that point
it stops making sense,

if you see what I mean.

Explain yourself, Inspector.

Well, I can believe everything
that we just heard in there,

apart from one tiny thing.

Which is what, sir?

Marianne Laforge has
run a children's home

for the best part of her life.

I actually know a bit about this
because my mum's a youth worker

and you can get kids
with anger issues,

you can get kids who are sometimes
violent, but you become an expert

in managing conflict, in defusing a
situation instead of inflaming it.

I just find it odd that Marianne's
first instinct was to grab a knife

to defend herself.

So, then, what did happen?

Well, either she knew
exactly what she was doing

and committed out-and-out murder...
I find that very hard to believe.

Me, too. Or someone else
killed Vincent Petit

and Marianne is covering
for them. Exactly.

I've got to go, but
please keep me abreast

of any developments
on the case. Yes, sir.

So where do we go
from here, sir?

Well, we'll see what the lab
results bring in in the morning.

Meanwhile, I want us to start
with looking into the victim,

Vincent Petit.

He came back to Miracles
Children's Home for the first time

since he left 20 years ago and
someone decided to murder him -

I want to know why.

Yeah, I know, Mum.

I know it's a big thing for him.

No, I'm not going to
scare him off! SHE LAUGHS

No, I just...

Look, I just want him to be open
and honest with me, that's all.

Depends on what...

Oh. Erm...

Erm, yeah, I better go.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right.
I'll call you tomorrow.

Andrina?

Hi.

Erm... Yeah.

Erm, would you like...? Yeah.

I spent the last 20 minutes worrying
about whether I go for the handshake

or the hug.

Handshake's a good call.

Don't want to get ahead
of ourselves, do we?

Erm, how are you settling
in at Catherine's? Oh, good.

Yeah, she's... She's taking
real good care of me.

She gave me a rum for Dutch
courage before I got here.

So, erm, how shall
do this, then?

Erm...

I suppose, erm...

Do you have...

..any questions you'd
like me to answer?

Erm...

I mean...

Yeah, I guess I do.

OK, so what would
you like to know?

And what time do you get here?

You know, I can't believe
we're actually doing this.

No, no second thoughts at all.

Don't forget, I will not
be around much tomorrow

because...

..I have my Sergeant's exam.

Of course we wouldn't forget.

Here.

Just a little good luck
card from all of us.

Thanks.

Well, I'm going to cram in a
few more hours of revision,

get an early night's sleep,

and I guess I'll see
you on the other side.

MOTORBIKE ENGINE STARTS

Well, I suppose I'd better
go and make some more room

in my sock drawer.

OK. See you when you get here.

Sophie.

She's booked a flight. She
arrives the day after tomorrow.

That is so exciting, sir.

I travelled a little in my 20s, but
Saint Marie is where my heart lies -

always will. I'm sure
your mother has told you

about how much this
island means to me.

I've only been here
a day and I can tell.

It's special.

So, have you got any
questions for me?

Erm...

Nothing?

You're a journalist
- Maggie said.

I had no intention of
following in Mum's footsteps,

well, not at first.

And, well, I definitely didn't
get the cop gene from you.

Wound up doing
history of art at uni,

which is of no use
to anyone, but...

..I got involved with a
student newspaper and...

..it kind of dawned on me why...

VOICE FADES

So got a post-grad and...

Selwyn.

Dessert?

Dessert?

Erm...

Not for me, thanks.

Coffee?

Erm, no.

Er... just the bill, please.

Erm...

We can talk again tomorrow.

You said you wanted to
see more of the island.

I can drive us.

Sure.

Yeah, that's a good idea. I'd
love to see more of the island.

So...

Erm... I almost forgot.

I brought you some photos
of me as a kid growing up.

I just thought you'd like to...

..have a look. Thank you.

OK.

Morning, sir.

KNOCKING

Commissioner?

Take a seat, Officer Pryce.

OK.

That's, erm... That's Mr Ribbit.

Mr Ribbit?

My lucky frog.

You have three hours to complete
the exam, Officer Pryce.

You may start...

..now.

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

Erm, Commissioner...

..phone calls are not allowed
during the examination.

It's against the rules, sir.

I know that. I wrote the rules.

Selwyn, it's Andrina.

I know we were going to spend
some time together this afternoon,

but I think, erm...

Can we take a rain
check on that?

Morning, sir. Naomi.

I thought you'd want to
see this. From the lab.

It confirms Marianne's
fingerprints all over the knife

she dropped at the crime scene.

They also confirm the blood on the
blade belongs to the victim, but...

The knife's blade is too big
to have made the fatal wound.

So this wasn't the knife that was
used to stab Vincent Petit? No.

So where's the one that did?

Those results,
they must be wrong.

The knife I had, it was
the same one I used to...

To stab Vincent Petit?

Yes!

I swear to you, it was.

But it can't be.

It's a physical impossibility
that this knife here

created a wound the size of the one
that was left on Vincent's body.

Miss Laforge...

..are you covering for someone?
Is that what this is all about?

Someone else stabbed Vincent and
you're trying to protect them.

No.

I'm not, all right?

And until you accept
what I am saying,

there's nothing
more to talk about.

If Marianne is covering, then
the killer has to be someone

who was at the Miracles
fundraiser yesterday.

Well, this is
everyone we know of.

It's like a giant
game of Guess Who?

All right, who shall
we focus in on first?

Who might have motive to
have stabbed the victim?

I think I might
know where to start.

Darlene and I were doing some
background on Vincent Petit,

like you asked... Yeah... and we got
hold of his old file from the time

he was at the home 20 years ago.

There was an incident
shortly before Vincent left

between him and Roy Hamilton.

He's the janitor, isn't he?

But he was a resident
himself from the age of 12.

They had a fight, ended with
Vincent pushing Roy down the stairs.

He was in the hospital for
close to three months -

that's how he injured his leg.

By the time Roy got back to the
home, Vincent had already left,

so they never made amends.

And this is the first time
they've seen each other since?

MOBIL PHONE BUZZES

Hey, Darlene. Got something?

I found this rolled up and shoved
down the back of a filing cabinet

in Mr Hamilton's office.

Looks like someone used it to
wipe the blood off their hands.

There's a whole box of these
T-shirts next to his desk.

Just up here.

What's he saying?

He denies putting it there.

I'll dust the cabinet for
prints, see what that shows. OK.

I already told you, officer, I
really don't know how it got there.

It wasn't me who did it.

But you do have a difficult
past with the victim, don't you?

Seriously, you think I would
murder Vince for what he did to me

20 years after it happened?

But the first time the both of
you cross paths since Mr Petit

left here he winds up dead.

And it wasn't just some
teenage scuffle you had,

you were left with
a lifelong injury.

He didn't mean to do it.

How did the fight come about?

A girl.

It was over some
girl he was seeing.

A girl?

You were jealous?

Frustrated.

We'd become good pals, me
and him. Close, you know?

Then he started sneaking off
all the time to go and see her -

never wanted to
hang out with me.

Growing up in a place like
this, friends become important.

How did the fight come about?

He had caught me trying to follow
him when he had gone to meet her,

said I was interfering,
being too clingy.

Just blew up over nothing.

And how did you feel,
seeing him yesterday?

Was the anger still there?

It was, wasn't it?

Maybe.

But I didn't want to kill him.

I just wanted him to
say sorry, that's all.

Erm, Commissioner...

..I think I'm done.

Are you sure? You still
have half an hour left.

I'm sure. Very well.

Then you may go.

I reckon, erm...

..Mr Ribbit had an off day.

Sir, Sarge, I've got
something for you.

So, I managed to lift some
fingerprints off of the top

and the back of
the filing cabinet,

they even had traces
of blood in them.

So they definitely belonged to
whoever put the T-shirt there.

And did you get a match? Yep.

17-year-old Josephine Porter.

She's got a charge for
trespassing and criminal damage.

She was at the fundraiser yesterday.
She's a resident at Miracles.

And that's not all of it.

The criminal damage charge
was from a month ago,

when she broke into a building site
and started vandalising the place.

Let me guess, the building site
was one of VP Island Construction's

developments. Exactly that.

We're getting close to
the truth now, Marianne.

Our DS is on the way to interview
Josephine about this as we speak.

Don't make things any harder
for her than they need to be.

So, I'll ask you
for a second time,

are you covering for someone?

Is it Josephine?

You need to promise me
you'll look after her.

She's just a girl,

only 17.

We'll do what we
can to help her,

but you need to start telling
us the truth right now.

When I saw what she'd done, I...

..I just couldn't let
her ruin her life.

Josephine's father
died in an accident...

..at a VP Island Construction
building site a year ago.

I don't know why, but she
had got it in her head

that Vincent was
directly responsible,

that certain safety measures
hadn't been followed.

There'd been a cover-up.

Is there any truth to that?

Not as far as I'm aware.

And you believe that's why she
stabbed him? I know it was.

All right.

What exactly happened yesterday?

I was running late for the raffle,
so I was hurrying past the rec room

when I heard raised voices,

so I took a look to
see what was going on.

You don't understand...

I couldn't really hear
what they were saying

and, before I could do
anything, it just...

..happened.

Josephine, she...
She just stabbed him.

I wanted to run in and stop it
all, but that's when I saw Billy.

Billy? Billy Morris,

one of the kids at the home.

Hey, Marianne.

And I couldn't let him
see what was going on,

so I led him away and told him
to go and watch the raffle.

I rushed back to the rec room...

..but, when I got
there, he was dead.

Vincent was dead.

I could hear Mayor Bordey
outside calling my name,

so I picked up the knife and
rubbed Josephine's prints off it.

It doesn't matter
what they've done,

it's my job to look
after these kids.

What else was I supposed to do?

That's why Josephine
attacked him.

Yeah, the thing is, it's
that damn knife again, Naomi.

If Marianne picked up the knife at
the scene, the one that Josephine

dropped, then why doesn't it
match the wound on the victim?

Maybe Josephine can
provide some answers.

Let me know what she says.

Good afternoon, Dr Molyneaux.
Afternoon, DS Thomas.

Josephine's inside, Sarge.

She's only 17,

so I'll need to be present
while you're speaking to her.

I know you think I murdered
Vincent, but you're wrong.

But, Josephine,
Marianne saw you do it.

Well, then, she
didn't see everything

because I didn't kill him.

He was alive when
I left him there.

Why don't you talk
me through it?

I didn't know what
I was going to do.

But then I saw him
giving that speech,

saying what a success
he'd made of his life.

No shame or regret for
what he did to my dad.

I know there must be some
kids here who feel lost.

So I waited until he was on his
own and I told him who I was.

Vincent, do you
remember Malcolm Porter?

He was my father.

When I told him what he'd done,
he just kept making excuses.

It's not as simple as that.

He kept telling me I'd got
it wrong, but I hadn't.

I know what he did.

So I grabbed the knife
next to the boxes.

I didn't even think
about it. I just took it.

And then what happened?

We can take a break if you want.

No.

They need to hear the truth.

I attacked him with the knife.

No, don't! Please! He stopped
it with both his hands.

Don't ruin your life like
this. Stopped it going in.

When I looked at him, there
was something in his eyes.

He looked broken...

..just like me.

So I dropped the knife and ran.

Can you describe the knife?

It was... it was
just a kitchen knife.

It had, like, a wooden handle...

..where he had been using
it to cut open boxes.

Is that all you need to know?

One more thing, Josephine,

why do you believe there was a
cover-up of your father's death?

I just know...

..all right? I know.

I think we should leave
it there, Sergeant.

OK, let me get this straight.

So Marianne was actually
covering for Josephine Potter,

who attacked Vincent
in the rec room,

but Josephine is saying that
she didn't actually kill him,

which is possibly true
because there is no way

that that knife can
be the murder weapon?

Yeah, that just
about sums it up.

Right.

Well, that's quite the day you've
all had since I've been gone.

But what this all means is
that there was a short window,

just a few minutes, in which
Vincent was actually murdered

with a different knife. Just after
his confrontation with Josephine.

But before Marianne
returned to find him dead.

So, in many ways, we are right
back where we started - not knowing

who did it or why they did it.

Or where the weapon is
that was used to do it.

I searched that children's
home high and low,

checked every knife
in the building,

not one of them had any
traces of blood on it.

Somewhere out there is the knife
that was used to kill Vincent Petit.

Where did it disappear to?

Hey, Mummy!

SHE GASPS

Andrina?

Selwyn.

I got your message.

Yeah, sorry about
that. I just, erm...

I didn't feel like spending
the afternoon with you.

I see.

Did I do something wrong?

You really don't get it, do you?

Why don't we take a walk?

Hmm?

I apologise if I misjudged
things in any way,

but this is all very new to
me, you must understand that.

Yeah, of course I do.
It is for both of us.

But I just get the feeling that
this isn't as important to you

as it is to me. That's not...

I... I... Come on.

We are only here because
I made the effort.

When I first wrote to you,
you didn't even reply.

I needed time to work out
how I felt about all this.

What is there to work
out? You have a daughter -

either you want to get
to know her or you don't.

It's not as simple
as that. Yes, it is.

The fact is, you've not shown
any interest in me at any point.

I mean, have you even looked
at the photos I gave you?

The photos of your own
daughter as a child.

You just don't want any
part of this, do you?

What a complete waste of time.

Morning, Sarge. Morning.

So, you think you've
found our missing knife?

Mm-hm. We got called here last night
by the mother of the little girl

who came across it.

She discovered it here about an
hour after her birthday party.

Her mother was
completely freaked out.

It's a heck of a
birthday surprise.

The results came in
first thing this morning.

There are no fingerprints other
than those of the little girl.

But the knife has Vincent
Petit's blood on it,

and the blade is a perfect
match to the fatal wound.

So it looks like this is
definitely our murder weapon.

Mm-hm.

But what's it doing
here of all places?

So the murder weapon was found
here, at the little girl's party,

at the northeast of the islands.

Which is, what, 15 miles
away from Miracles? Mm-hm.

Marlon and Darlene are canvassing
the neighbours to see if they saw

anyone with a knife or
just acting suspicious.

They're also getting a list of
everyone who attended the party.

Good.

While they do that, shall we go
give the victim's house a once-over?

For a millionaire, Vincent
Petit lived like a monk.

Yeah, the place
is pretty minimal.

I get the impression he didn't
have much time in his life

for anything other than work.

Sir.

Take a look at these.

Diazepam? Sir Vincent was
suffering from anxiety?

There are more bottles in the
kitchen, but take a look at

the name of the doctor
who prescribed it.

Dr Claire Molyneaux.

I checked and she has her own
private practice here in Honore.

So Vincent was getting
counselling from Dr Molyneaux.

Why wouldn't she mention that?

I'll go phone her practice
and find out for sure. Yeah.

OK. Thank you.

Sir, I just spoke to Dr Molyneaux's
secretary and she was very chatty.

She gave you something?

Turns out, a few days
before he was murdered,

Vincent stormed into the doctor's
office and he was fuming.

You broke my confidentiality!

Did the secretary have any idea
what it was about specifically?

Word got back to Mr Petit that the
reason Josephine Porter vandalised

his building sites was because she
blamed him for her father's death.

So, what, Dr Molyneaux
told Josephine

that Vincent was responsible?

I'm going to get you fired,

whatever it takes.

He was threatening to report her

to the Association for
Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Dr Molyneaux, we'd like
to ask you a few questions

about Vincent Petit
and Josephine Porter.

Vincent had told me
that he was drinking,

self-medicating,

in a daze half the time.

He was behind schedule,
cut corners on safety.

Some scaffolding collapsed,
killing Josephine's father.

Vincent then paid big money
to cover up his mistake.

And he told you all
of that in confidence?

Yes, I know.

What I did was unorthodox,

but Josephine was a child
desperately searching for answers

about what happened
to her father.

I had urged Vincent
to tell her...

..but he wouldn't.

So you did?

That's a flagrant
breach of ethics.

I didn't set out to -

it just came out.

And Josephine was in tears.

I...

I just wanted to help her.

Dr Molyneaux, why was
Vincent getting counselling?

He was troubled.

A lot of unresolved
issues from his childhood.

I assume that's not
uncommon in children

who lose their parents
at an early age.

Although it seemed to have
more to do with a relationship

he had when he was 17,
a girl he'd been seeing.

He never quite seemed
able to move on from it.

That's why Vincent had
begun using drink and drugs,

to numb the pain.

This girl must have really
got under his skin, huh?

Any idea who she was
or where she lived?

He said she went to a nearby
school, not far from Miracles.

St Theresa's. Did he
ever give you a name?

Emily.

Erm...

Emily Solomon.

Anything else you
might remember?

Not that I can think of,

but I record all my
counselling sessions.

I can give you the tapes.

If there's anything I've
forgot, it'll be on there.

It's odd, isn't it?

That Vincent's teenage
romance would continue to have

such a hold over
him 20 years later.

Do you think it's a coincidence
that, just as he was starting

to deal with it in therapy, he
decides to make his first visit

back to Miracles? No.

I think it's worth pursuing.

Why don't I see what I can
dig up on Emily Solomon?

Good idea. I'm going to head back
to the shack and start working

through Dr Molyneaux's
recordings.

Inspector, Sarge, we've
spoken to all the neighbours.

No-one saw anything suspicious the
afternoon of the birthday party.

It's so random the knife
even ended up there.

We've got a list of everyone who
was at the little girl's party,

so we'll start calling them now.

Oh!

And I brought you these.

Just a little thank you from
the birthday girl's mother.

Chocolate buttons,
a bit of cake...

..and a balloon.

Solid party bag, that.

Evening, Selwyn.

If you're looking for
Andrina, she went out.

She wanted to hear some local
music, so I suggested Babette's Bar.

Maybe you could join her?

I'm not sure I'd be welcome.

Andrina...

..told me things
haven't been too easy.

She seems very angry with me

and I'm not wholly sure
what I've done wrong.

Really?!

Yes, really.

Come on, Selwyn.

You know you're keeping
her at a distance,

you have been since
Maggie first told you.

I...

I just don't want
to rush into this.

It may end up causing
more hurt in the long run.

And who is it you're
really protecting,

her or you? Both of us.

If you have something to
say, then just say it.

OK.

I think you're scared.

And all of this
bluster, it's an act,

so you don't have to engage

because it would lead to you
actually feeling something.

Excuse me, I have
customers to serve.

Morning, Leon. Hey.

Anything for us? Erm...

Just this.

Oh, my exam results.

Bye. Thank you.

VINCENT: Emily always wanted to
keep our relationship a secret,

but I wanted to tell the world.

It used to make me
feel so frustrated.

What do you feel
now, looking back?

Whoa! Sorry, Harry.

For a long time, I
felt... You all right?

..confused within
myself, you know?

But coming here and talking,

I've started to realise I
wasn't the one in the wrong -

she was.

That's why I feel I need
to move on, you know?

We used to go to this
place called Lausanne Bay

when there was no-one around -

so many memories of that place.

We used to go to this
place called Lausanne Bay

when there was no-one around.

So many memories of that place.

Morning, sir. Hey.

I tried calling a couple of
times but there was no answer.

I can't find my phone anywhere
- I must have lost it.

Well, I wanted to let you know that
I've checked into Emily Solomon.

Oh, yeah? It's a funny one, sir.

I couldn't find her on the
records at St Theresa's.

I thought maybe Dr Molyneaux
gave us the wrong name.

But then I checked with
the General Registrar,

and there was no baby
born with that name

on Saint Marie
between 1980 and 1990.

Then he started sneaking off
all the time to go and see her.

So who was Vincent's girlfriend?

We need to go back
to his house -

there's something I
want to check out.

So, come on.

Did you get your exam
results this morning?

Oh, no. No, the post
hadn't been yet.

But I'll probably get it later.

Well, make sure you text me
straight away, OK? Of course.

Morning. Morning. Morning.

Lausanne Bay.

Vincent mentioned this place
during one of his therapy sessions

with Dr Molyneaux.

He said he used to go there with
his girlfriend, Emily, but...

..why would you keep a postcard
of a place you claimed to go to

with a girlfriend who
seemingly didn't exist?

Oh, what's that, sir?
Is that a letter?

And now it all makes sense.

It was over some
girl he was seeing.

A lot of unresolved
issues from his childhood.

VINCENT: That's why I
feel I need to move on.

He was alive when
I left him there.

It's so random.

You're right,
Marlon, it is random.

I didn't actually say
anything just then, sir.

But maybe that's the point.
Maybe it isn't the point.

Maybe it's just a
convenient accident.

What is, sir?

The guests at the little girl's
party, did you speak to them all?

Phoned every single one of them.

And did any of them
attend the fundraiser

at the Miracles Children's Home two
days prior? Not one of them, sir.

The closest we came to a connection
was the birthday girl's aunt,

said she drove up into the
hills nearby to walk the dogs.

Parks up there every weekend. The
same day Vincent was murdered?

That's what she said.

That's it.

There was a dog walker.

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

Of course there was a dog
walker, it stands to reason.

Marlon, Darlene, I need you to pay
a visit to this dog walker, please.

No problem, sir.

Naomi, round up the suspects.

I'm going to call the Commissioner
and give him the good news.

Finally, I know who
murdered Vincent Petit.

This has been one of the stranger
cases we've had to investigate.

It started with us arresting
the apparent perpetrator

of Vincent Petit's murder,
only to discover that Marianne

was actually
covering for someone

and the bloodied knife she dropped
at the crime scene wasn't, in fact,

the one used to stab the victim.

Our next suspect, the person
Marianne was covering for,

also turned out not
to have done it either

when the actual knife that inflicted
the wound on our victim reappeared

at a child's birthday
party 15 miles away

from the original
scene of the crime.

We were left more
bamboozled than ever.

But, having finally worked
out which of you it was

this stabbed Vincent Petit,
suddenly it all makes sense.

And it brings us full circle,

right back round to
our original suspect...

..Marianne Laforge.

I'm sorry? You killed
Vincent Petit, Marianne.

No. No, I didn't, I swear.

When you saw Josephine
attack Vincent Petit,

it was truly shocking for you.

You don't understand.
It's not that simple!

But you didn't tell us the
whole truth about what you saw.

It was a lie that you believed
Josephine stabbed Vincent -

you knew she'd only injured him.

And in that moment, I think
your plan began to form.

When you saw Billy
running towards you,

you did lead him away so that
he didn't see the attack.

But it also gave you a
chance to grab a second knife

from the barbecue.

You came back here, you found
that Josephine had gone,

but Vincent wasn't dead
- like you told us.

He was very much alive

and you use that
opportunity to murder him.

Doctor...!

You wrapped the knife in a
serviette and hid it in your jacket.

Then you picked up the knife
that Josephine had used

to attack Vincent and you
waited to be discovered.

And then... you ran.

You needed it to look authentic,

as though you were
genuinely the killer.

It would lend more
weight to your story

when we believed you were
covering for Josephine.

Then you'd seem selfless -

willing to do anything
to protect your children.

But while you were being chased,
you needed to think quickly.

You still had to get
rid of the knife that

you'd actually used
to murder Vincent.

As luck would have it, you
found the perfect hiding place.

She said she drove up into the
hills nearby to walk the dogs.

We know that there was a dog
walker in the hills that afternoon.

She'd parked up her
pick-up truck and left it -

that is where you
stashed the knife.

Then you ran back in the
direction of my officers.

It was a good plan...

..until the dog walker drove
to her niece's birthday party

and the movement of the pick-up
truck loosened the knife.

Having now examined the truck,

we found this still
wedged underneath.

But I don't understand.
Why would Marianne do this?

Why would she kill Vincent?

Well, the answer to that
question lies in the past.

20 years ago, when
Vincent came to Miracles,

there, he fell in love
with a young woman.

His first love, I think,
the kind you never forget.

Emily?

In a way, yes. Although, Emily
Solomon never actually existed -

it was a made up name because
Vincent had to keep the real

identity of his
girlfriend a secret.

Didn't he, Marianne? I don't
know what you're talking about.

Oh?

You don't remember Lausanne Bay?

Or the letter you wrote
to Vincent 20 years ago

explaining why you could
no longer be with him,

but that you still cared
for him, loved him?

This is your
signature, isn't it?

Vincent was 17, Marianne.

You were his carer.
He was young...

..vulnerable.

I know it was wrong...

..that's why I ended it...

..and I've regretted
it every day since.

But it was real between us.

We truly loved each other.

It should never have happened.

Over the years, Vincent struggled
to put what happened behind him.

For a long time,
I felt confused.

I blamed myself, you know?

Over time, he started to drink,
self-medicate, to cope...

..but it didn't work. It
just made things worse.

He ended up hurting
other people.

So he started getting counselling
and he gradually came to realise

that, if he was ever going to move
on, he needed to confront the past.

So many memories of that place.

I don't know exactly what
happened here three days ago,

at the fundraiser, but I
think that Vincent told you

he was going to come clean about
what had happened between you.

It was the speech he gave.

Thank you, Miss Laforge.

He said it made him feel sick,
having to lie to everyone about me.

I can't do this any more.

What you talking about?! The
truth has to come out, right?

People need to know. What?!

For the good of both of us,
the truth needed to come out.

And that's why you killed him,

because if he went through
with it, if he told the world

what had happened between you,
your life would be ruined.

Everyone would know how badly
you'd failed in your duty of care

towards a young,
vulnerable teenage boy.

You'd lose your job,

your reputation
would be destroyed.

Everything you hold dear...

..would be taken away from you.

I'm sorry.

Marianne Laforge...

..I am arresting you on suspicion
of the murder of Vincent Petit.

You do not have
to say anything...

Sir, I...

I know this must be tough,
knowing Marianne as you did.

Although it turns out I
didn't know her at all.

She was the one person who was
supposed to be there for him.

It's not right, is it, sir?

Have you even looked at
the photos I gave you?

Because that might lead to you
actually feeling something.

SELWYN SOBS

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

I'm sure I checked in here.

Hey, Sophie. Are you not going
to come and give me a hug, then?

I'm on my way.

Hey.

What is...?

Hi.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

How's about that drive, then?

Er, you all right
with that? Yeah, fine.

Well, welcome back
to Chez Neville.

Huh.

Oh, my God.

What on Earth...?

I used to bring your mother
up here a long time ago.

I was eager to impress her.

It must have worked,

otherwise I wouldn't
be stood here.

Andrina, you probably expect me
to know how to handle this, but...

No.

No, I don't.

I don't know what I'm doing

and I don't think anyone
can know what to do.

And I don't expect it to be...

..easy between us,
not for a while yet.

But I... I do need to know
that you want us to do this.

Yes.

I do.

"A murder will be
committed today"?

Paramedics reckon a
blunt force trauma

to the rear of his head
was the cause of death.

No prints, no DNA. So
what do we do, sir?

Mr Cartwright? That's me.

He was a criminologist
back in the UK.

What kind of person
would send such a thing?

There's a history of murderers who
make themselves known to the police.

We just have to
keep quiet, Rose.

Whoever wrote that letter
wanted to toy with me.

I've done it and I'm not sorry.

This ends now.

Where's DI Parker? I will
not let him do this to me!
