Death In Paradise (2011) s14e06 Episode Script

1
I swear, you're going to love
the view from this place.
The sunsets?
Man, they're the best.
Seriously romantic.
Romantic's good. Romantic I can do.
It's absolutely tipping it down here,
so anything's got to be
better than that, right?
Tipping it down?
CHUCKLES: I like that.
Kristion, I know it's only been a month
that we've been doing this, but
..it feels so much deeper than that.
I feel it too.
I just can't wait for us
to finally be together.
PHONE ALER
That is my taxi.
I will see you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
He's just gone to bed.
I'll do it in the morning,
before she gets here.
Hey, that's me.
- I'm Danielle.
- Ah!
I am Delmar.
Your first time on the island?
CHUCKLES: Yes, you've got
that wide-eyed look about you.
BOTH LAUGH
So
remind me, um,
where it is we're going.
Er
..16 Rue De Crecy?
PHONE RINGS
Er, one sec.
Hey! Everything all right?
I just wanted to see your face.
I'm going to be there any minute.
I'll go open up the champagne, then.
It's a bit early.
It's never too early for champagne.
Kristion, is something up?
I heard a noise inside.
Hello? Is someone there?
Excuse me, what are you doing?
- Stay where you are.
- Whoa!
- You hear?
- Whoa-whoa-whoa, man, man.
- Please, please
- Is that your boyfriend?
- You know you had this coming.
- What's going on?
I don't know. Someone's there.
Kristion, what's happening?
Seriously, man, look, I don't know
what this what this is all about.
OK? Just put that down!
GUNSHO
Oh, my God, we We have to go.
We have to call the police.
Um you try phoning
him back, all right?
He's still not answering.
The police are on their way.
We should just wait out here.
- I need to see if he's all right.
- No.
It's better you don't.
What if he's still inside?
The gunman.
Kristion?
Kristion, are you all right?
Oh, Kristion!
MUSIC: Can't Stop Me by Delroy Wilson
They can't stop me
no matter how they try
I'm gonna make it
some day you flying by
Form the day I've been born
I've been trying all my life ♪
No, it's going to be a lazy one.
Yeah, head to the beach,
maybe grab some food
on the way back home.
Just chill, really.
What do you and Daddy have planned?
Oh!
DOORBELL
Er, hold on, there's
someone at the door.
DOORBELL RINGS REPEATEDLY
Oh, no
DOORBELL CONTINUES RINGING
It's the Inspector.
I'll have to call you back.
OK.
DOORBELL CONTINUES RINGING
But it's Saturday!
Inspector.
Good morning to you, DS Thomas.
How are you doing?
I WAS doing really good.
Kitchen this way, is it?
Please come inside, sir.
Yeah, sorry about the weekend intrusion,
but I figured you probably
didn't have anything planned.
Well, nothing involving other people.
Yeah, and after all
that business with
What's his name? Emmental, was it?
Emmanuel. He's not a cheese, sir.
Yeah, that's right, Emmanuel.
Anyway, I figured it'll
probably do you some good
to keep busy, you know?
Busy?
The Commissioner gave me the go-ahead
to reopen my mum's case.
That's great news, sir.
I'm pleased.
So I thought I'd start by
cooking you up a breakfast,
as a thank you,
as it was pretty much all down to you.
Mate of mine sent over
some proper English bacon,
so I'm doing my speciality
bacon and eggs.
What a treat.
And then I thought we
could discuss the case,
work out a plan of attack.
Sure. We can do that.
I've already been down the harbour,
putting up posters asking any
new witnesses to come forward.
It's a long shot, but you never know.
PHONE RINGS
Oh.
Morning, Darlene.
All right.
OK, bye.
Er, maybe not crack those eggs, sir.
Looks like we've got a case come in.
Morning, Inspector.
- Sarge.
- Morning.
So, the victim's name
is Kristion Butler.
He's local, and travels a
lot for work, apparently.
Who found the body?
Danielle Bailey.
Now, she met the victim on
the internet a month ago,
and they've been seeing one
another online ever since.
She arrived on the island this morning
to meet with him in
person for the first time.
Literally just landed when he got shot.
That's some bad timing.
To say the least.
OK, this way.
I'd recently come out of
a long-term relationship
with my ex-fiance
I wasn't looking for anything serious,
I just wanted to have some fun,
so I joined an international dating app.
Then that's how you met Mr Butler?
Straight away there was
a connection between us.
It's never happened before
with a bloke. Just clicked.
So we decided to bite the
bullet and meet in person.
And, Mr Lloyd, you
were hired by the victim
to pick Miss Bailey up from the airport?
That's right, Officer.
Had you had any prior dealings with him?
No, I just got the call yesterday
to do an airport pick-up.
So, talk me through what
happened this morning.
Like I told Officer Curtis,
Kristion called me at
just gone quarter to nine,
and then suddenly someone
was here with him,
in the villa, with Kristion.
- Did you see who that was?
- No, but I heard voices.
It was a man, and he was threatening.
Just stay where you are.
You know you had this coming.
He said something like
Kristion had this coming.
And then we, er, jumped in the car
and came as quick as we could.
And how long did that take?
Ten minutes, no more than that.
Miss Bailey went through
to the back terrace
and found Mr Butler's body.
Oh, Kristion!
So, you heard a man say
Kristion had it coming.
Then there was the gunshot.
Have you any idea what that meant?
Were you aware of any trouble
he'd gotten himself in?
No, he wasn't like that.
He was a good person.
OK, well, thanks for talking
with us, Miss Bailey.
We'll be in touch.
Why don't I take you to a hotel?
That would be the best thing, right?
Yeah.
HE SIGHS
Well, she might think he's a good guy,
but somebody out there didn't.
Not if - and I quote -
"he had it coming".
The guy's obviously minted,
and where there's money, there's motive.
Why don't Darlene and I give
this place the once-over,
see if we can find anything
out about Kristion Butler?
Mm. And get Seb going door-to-door
once he's finished with the crime scene.
- Hey, yo.
- Good morning, Inspector.
Officer Rose, what are
you doing down there?
All will be revealed, Inspector.
But it's cool, trust me.
It's cool.
All right, talk me through it.
So, the bullet travelled
right through the victim's heart
and came out this side. See?
Paramedics reckon he would
have died instantly.
No sign of the gun, I take it?
Mm-mm. Killer must have taken it.
The cool bit?
Ah!
The bullet.
So, I searched the whole terrace -
up and down, highs and lows,
left and right
Officer Rose.
Couldn't find it anywhere.
Then I realised it's only
in the victim's hand.
Gloves.
See? Little shiny
bullet-coloured-looking thing,
right?
What's that doing there?
Bag.
Thing is, if he died instantly
..he couldn't pick the
bullet up himself, could he?
Which means the killer
must have put it there,
in the victim's hand.
And why would they do that?
NAOMI: Inspector! We've got something.
Five different passports,
all with different names,
but all with the victim's photo inside.
Five fake driving licences,
also with the victim's photo on them.
Four different mobile phones,
and $20,000 in cash.
WHISTLES
Also, I did some quick phoning around,
and it turns out Mr Butler -
or whichever of these
is his real identity -
doesn't own this villa,
like he told Danielle Bailey.
It's a rental.
He took out a three-month
lease a couple of months ago,
paid in cash.
Right. I'd better let
the Commissioner know
we've got a wrong 'un been shot.
Huh!
To say the least.
Let's pack up.
I'm in the middle of
something right now,
but when I'm done I'll put the
word out around the islands,
see if any of them have
any intel on your victim.
- OK. Bye.
- Selwyn.
Don't tell me this is it.
I'm doing the handover with
the gentleman who will be
overseeing things after me,
and I'm on gardening leave
for the rest of the week,
and then
..I'm gone.
It's all happening too quickly.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Thank you, I, um
I appreciate your help.
Inspector, Sarge.
I might have got to the
bottom of who our victim is.
Yeah?
Eyes on me when I'm
talking to you, please.
As I was saying.
I got a match on the victim's prints.
His real name is Adam Carter,
born and raised in London.
Charged with fraud six years ago
and served 18 months for it.
Since then, no employment
records to be found anywhere.
So Adam Carter, AKA Kristion Butler,
was pretending to Danielle Bailey
to be some rich businessman
with a villa in Saint Marie.
And not just Danielle Bailey.
There's other women too.
His laptop's got six
different dating apps,
each with a host of
different profiles on it.
He seems to be selling them all
different versions of the same lie -
he's a rich guy looking for love.
Charming, flies all over the world.
And it's the same with all his phones.
Not many contacts,
but they're all women.
And the text threads, well,
they're pretty, er
..intimate.
Sir, I think "Adam Carter"
was a con man.
In his emails there are
occasional requests for money.
Like this one here.
He says he's embarrassed to ask,
but his investors are on his back
and he'll repay her as soon
as his cash flow is sorted.
He's a romance scammer.
You know what? This is exactly
why I stopped internet dating.
You can't trust nobody.
Well, look, if this guy made his living
fleecing innocent women, there could be
any number of them out there
happy to see him dead.
Except we know from the video
call that the killer was a man.
Well, I haven't come across any
male contacts in his emails.
Nor on any of his phones.
And at this moment,
the only male suspect
we have is this fella,
Delmar Lloyd. And it can't be him
because he was at the
airport with Danielle Bailey
when it happened.
So if it wasn't a woman,
who shot Adam Carter?
Yeah, the police are all over it,
so I'm on the first flight
out of here tomorrow morning.
So what are we going to do
about your mother's case, sir?
We'll park it for now,
till we've solved the Adam Carter case.
I mean, that has to
take priority, right?
You know, you really don't
need to cook for me, sir.
I mean, especially since
breakfast was, like,
ten hours ago.
It kind of feels like we've
missed the moment, maybe.
Yeah, well, you are very
much mistaken, DS Thomas.
You see, the joy of bacon and eggs
is that you can eat it
any time of the day.
Yeah? Breakfast, brunch,
lunch, dinner, whatever.
It is genuinely one of the
finest dishes known to mankind.
I think there's a few people
who would disagree with that, sir.
Anyway, ideally we'd
be washing this back
with a steaming-hot
mug of builder's tea.
But on this occasion,
a cold beer will do.
- Cheers, Sarge.
- Cheers.
Right, let's tuck in.
Oh, so good.
So, now we've parked my
mum's case for a few days,
it'll give people a chance
to look at the poster
I've put around the harbour.
See?
Yeah.
Hopefully someone will come forward.
SIGHS
BELL TOLLS
So I spoke with a
neighbour last night
who saw a car parked
outside the victim's house
the morning of the murder.
I checked the index number.
It was registered to
a local hire company,
so I phoned them and
Yeah. Sorry.
A British tourist named
Gary Baines rented it.
Gary Baines arrived on
the island two days ago.
He has no criminal record.
He's a UK-based solicitor.
But I checked his socials.
Turns out he's the ex-fiance
of Danielle Bailey.
Mad! So I gave her a call.
Turns out she had no idea
he was on the island.
Apparently he didn't take
the break-up too well,
and kind of wouldn't accept it was over.
So a jealous ex flies over
to see the new boyfriend,
who ends up dead two days later?
Mm-hm. And Gary Baines
is booked on a flight
back to the UK this morning.
But I alerted security and
they're going to stop him.
All right, then. Let's get over there.
Nice work.
Seb, honey, I have got
a call-out for you.
Someone's been hitting
the Saturday-night rum
a bit too hard.
Sounds fun.
- Thank you, man.
- Keep it.
Have a good day.
Gary Baines?
We need to talk.
Look, I can appreciate
this doesn't look good.
No, you're right, it looks bad.
Really bad.
But there is a reasonable
explanation as to why I'm here.
Come on, then.
Spill.
Danielle's parents and I,
we both became concerned
about this new bloke
she was seeing online.
Concerned?
Well, you know, some rich foreign guy.
Could have been anyone.
And not much of a digital footprint,
our Kristion Butler,
so alarm bells were ringing.
OK. And?
So I flew out here to give him
the once-over, kind of thing.
But you're her ex, right?
So it's not really any of your business.
In theory
..yes, we're not together.
In theory?
What does that mean?
Well, look, Danielle
..she made a mistake, I feel,
ending things between us.
And it's not just me that thinks that.
Her parents do, too.
Right.
What?
Well, when you say that,
it all starts looking
bad again. You know?
The jealous ex who travelled 5,000 miles
because he felt threatened
by the new boyfriend
she'd only known for a month.
Looks like you overreacted.
So, yesterday morning,
half an hour before the
victim was shot, you were seen
- outside his villa.
- Also bad.
Look, OK, all right,
I was there, I admit it.
I was going to go and
speak with Kristion,
ask him what his game was, but then
But then?
Someone else was
already with him.
KRISTION: Just go!
I've told you already!
I want you to leave!
WOMAN: I can't believe
you're doing this to me!
GARY: A woman.
Sounded English.
She was angry, shouting, about
..how could he do that to her?
- Did you see her?
- No.
I got in my car and drove back
to the hotel and had breakfast.
And that's where I was
when the murder happened,
I swear to you. Please, just
..check with the staff.
Don't worry, we will.
In the meantime, you're going nowhere
until this case is solved.
Yeah.
Sir, if Mr Baines is telling the truth
and there was a woman
inside the victim's villa
arguing with him only half
an hour before he was shot,
then who was she?
OK, sir, let me go and speak with her.
Miss?
Excuse me, miss?
HE SIGHS
Miss? Excuse me?
Excuse me?
I don't want any chilli oil.
All right, well, I'll make
sure I don't give you any.
Can you stand up for me, please?
Mm, I like it here.
It's sunny.
Yeah, I know, true,
but there are other sunny places.
And this old man would
like to go fishing, so
Where are the fishes?
I don't see any fishes.
All right, come on. Let's get you up.
- All right.
- Here we go.
- Watch out. Watch your step.
- Yeah.
Whoa, you're a policeman.
What are you doing here?
You know, don't you?
Know what?
Nothing.
All right. Um, how about
you tell me your name?
Let's start there.
I don't want to tell you my name.
Miss, I need to ask you these
questions for your own safety.
You know? Who you're with,
where you're staying
I'm not telling you that.
Wait.
- You know that guy?
- No.
I need you to stop and tell me
how you know that man on your phone.
It's none of your business.
Get out of my way.
I need you to stop and
answer the questions.
No, get out of my way!
HE GRUNTS
Stop her!
Stop that woman!
Don't just stand there!
That's not cool, man.
Are you sure it was the
victim's face you saw
- on her phone?
- I'm sure.
And even before that,
she was acting strange.
As soon as she saw my uniform, she said,
"You know, don't you?"
Like she thought I'd
found out something.
OK, um
..so I think
..the woman that just
pushed Seb into the water
What? It's not funny.
..she is the same woman
that was heard arguing
with the victim at his villa
the morning of the murder.
ADAM: Go! I want you to leave!
WOMAN: I can't believe
you're doing this to me!
I phoned round the taxi companies.
Now, one of the drivers
took a British woman
from the Sunny Bay Hotel
to the victim's home
on Rue De Crecy at eight
o'clock yesterday morning.
The driver gave the
exact same description
- that Seb just gave us.
- Name?
Kelly Herbert.
You need to be honest with us, Kelly.
You and Adam look pretty
intimate in these photos.
Andy Johnson was the name he gave me.
Couple of years ago we started dating.
Just video calls at first, and
..then we spent the
odd weekend together.
He made me feel special.
And how much did he take from you?
20,000, which was all my savings.
Plus a bit of money my nan left me.
How did he convince
you to give it to him?
It wasn't all at once.
He had different ways, tactics.
The first time he said that
there was a deal going through
but he had a shortfall,
and could I help out?
And then there was another
time where we were in a hotel,
and he came back from reception
and he said that there
was these men downstairs
that he owed money to, threatening him.
And once you'd given
him everything you had?
I didn't hear from him any more.
He ghosted me.
That's when I realised
He'd been scamming you.
So you tracked him down here,
to Saint Marie.
And we know you went to his
villa yesterday morning,
- where he was shot.
- I didn't kill him.
I didn't come for revenge.
Really, I didn't.
So why did you come here?
To forgive him.
I realised he just needed
someone to help him,
to save him from himself.
How do you mean?
I was going to help him
turn over a new leaf,
get his debts sorted,
get on the straight and narrow.
And then we could start
again - the two of us.
But he didn't want that?
That's why you
were heard arguing.
- Kristion
- No!
Please, Kelly, just go, yeah?
I really don't want you here.
He said he didn't love me,
and that he never had.
Said I should leave him alone.
So you were hurt, you were angry,
which still gives you
motive to kill him.
No, it doesn't.
I didn't.
I left, like he asked me to,
went to a bar, and I started drinking.
You think I'm an idiot,
because I thought I could change him.
I just don't feel you're being
very honest with yourself.
And deep down, I reckon
you already know that.
DARLENE: Inspector?
I've worked through all the contacts
on Adam Carter's phone,
emails and dating apps.
I cross-checked the
names with immigration,
and not one of them
is here on the island.
So the only people on the
island connected to our victim
are our four suspects here.
Yes, that's come through now.
Thanks for all your help.
Inspector, just got
security camera footage
sent over from the bar where
Kelly Herbert said she went
after seeing the victim yesterday.
Does the barman remember her?
He doesn't get many people
hitting the rum at breakfast time.
So she entered at 8:33.
What time did she leave?
10:18am.
Our victim was shot at 8:45am.
Barman never took his eyes off her,
so she couldn't have done it.
Inspector. On a similar kind of vibe,
I just spoke with the
staff at the restaurant,
and they confirmed Gary
Baines had breakfast
between 8:30 and 9:30.
So he couldn't have done it either.
And it couldn't have been
our other two suspects
because they were at the airport
watching the murder take
place on a video call.
GUNSHO
Oh, my God!
And what about the bullet?
Anything back from the lab?
It's a 9mm calibre,
the same size as the
bullet hole in the body.
No traces of blood,
so they think the killer
must have wiped it clean.
Then placed it in the victim's hand.
I mean, what's that about?
Evening, Commissioner.
You all right?
In better spirits than you, Inspector,
by the look on your face.
Yeah, well, you know, we're, um,
grappling with the un-grapple-able.
Can I help you with anything?
Yes, you can, by letting me
take you all for a drink.
It's Sunday night.
You've worked all weekend.
It's the least I can do.
Well, thank you, sir.
That's very kind of you.
Thank you, Commissioner.
We're missing something.
HE EXHALES
LAUGHTER
You see, what I don't understand is
- How tall are you, Seb?
- About 6'4".
6'4"? And how tall
was Kelly Herbert?
- 5'5".
- 5'5".
So how the hell did she manage
to push you into the water?
I mean, that's genuinely
been baffling me.
I'll be honest with you, Inspector,
it's been troubling me as well.
Well, here's to you, merman.
Now, who wants another drink?
DARLENE: Mm. I won't say no.
I'll give you a hand.
You know, I really feel like
I've turned a corner with the Inspector.
I mean, he's way less miserable with me.
That's because you're doing good work.
So, has Selwyn told you about
what's happening tomorrow?
No. What's happening tomorrow?
I had a feeling he hadn't.
The person taking over from him arrives.
They're doing the handover.
After, he'll be gone.
Already? That's soon.
Too soon.
I think tonight, it's his way
of saying goodbye to the job,
to his team.
Thank you. Um
..just so you know, after tomorrow,
in view of all the changes taking place,
I won't be around as much.
So, as regards your mother's case, I
I'm on my own from here.
But, if you want my advice,
or an extra pair of eyes,
I'm more than happy to help.
I appreciate that, Commissioner.
I mean, someone's got to know something
- about what happened, right?
- Mm.
TYRES SCREECH
All right, so, DS Thomas and I
heard from the lab first thing.
It turns out the money
we found in Adam Carter's
safe is counterfeit.
Seriously?
- Had me fooled.
- It had us all fooled.
So what does that have
to do with Delmar Lloyd?
Well, his fingerprints are all over it.
Which means he was lying
when he told us he'd
never met the victim.
DOOR OPENS
Mr Lloyd.
Time for a quick chat, have you?
Welcome to Saint Marie, Mr Fox.
Commissioner.
Good morning.
What a beautiful day it is, right?
Please, call me Sterling.
Mind if I call you Selwyn?
If you wish.
You know, Selwyn,
I've only been on this
island five minutes
and I've already fallen in love with it.
Such a cute little place
you've got going on.
I know I'm going to have
the best time working here.
I hope you do.
And this is a real honour right now.
Finally getting to meet the
great Commissioner Patterson.
Back at HQ in Jamaica they say
you're a total living legend.
I see.
Makes you wonder why
they're getting rid of me.
Mm?
CHUCKLES
That's very good.
I like it.
They said you got this
quirky sense of humour.
It's very charming.
Anyway, we going to crack on
with this handover we're doing?
Got a few emails that need replying to
and I've yet to check into my hotel.
Of course.
I'd hate to get in the way
of your already busy day.
Appreciate you.
I thought I would give
you the tour here first,
and then introduce you
to the team afterwards.
They are in the midst of
a rather tricky murder investigation.
Ooh! I like the sound of that.
DELMAR: I don't know what to say.
OK. Well, why don't I help you
with the first half of the sentence
and you can finish it off?
"My fingerprints were
on the money you found
"in Adam Carter's
safe because"
SEB: Inspector.
Found this in the bedroom.
20,000.
But I can't tell if it's fake or not.
It's not fake.
It's real money.
You swapped them, didn't you?
You saw Adam Carter had 20K in his safe,
and you switched the fake money in.
So you admit you were
lying when you told us
you had no prior contact
with the victim?
I have been helping Adam
these last two months,
driving him around,
and the other women he brought over.
Playing along with his scam.
- He paid you?
- Mm-hm.
- So how did you two meet?
- In a bar.
A shady kind of place.
We got to talking, and
Well, it wasn't the first
time I got my hands
a bit dirty to earn an
extra dollar or two.
So what then?
You saw the chance to make
even more if you did him over?
Scam the scammer?
My granddaughter, Samara, she's 17.
She's going to college in the US.
She needs her fees paid, so
..I thought I could help her out.
This is touching, the whole
granddaughter, college stuff.
But it only gets me to wondering,
what if Adam Carter was onto you?
Worked out you'd stolen from him,
and started demanding
all his money back?
How far would you go to
keep your hands on it?
Hmm?
To make sure your granddaughter
got the money she needed.
You think it was me shot him?
It's a motive, Mr Lloyd.
No. That's just not what happened.
He never found out.
I swear to you, he didn't
know what I had done.
DARLENE: Interesting.
Mm-hm, and when they get back,
then I'll pass the information
on to the Inspector.
Ah, here they are now,
and not a moment too soon.
The Commissioner has brought
this young gentleman
who is going to replace him
to meet with us.
- Isn't that nice?
- Sterling Fox.
DI Wilson, I take it?
Yeah, that's me. All right?
Ooh! I love the London accent.
Um, this is Detective
Sergeant Naomi Thomas.
And Officer Sebastian Rose.
Looking forward to
working with you both.
As I was saying to Darlene,
it would be nice
to get some one-on-one
sessions in the diary.
I'm here every other Wednesday.
It would be good to talk about
ways of improving things,
streamlining your working methodology,
cutting out on waste.
Er, we're already pretty
efficient here, on the whole.
- Darlene said the same.
- Officer Curtis.
Officer Curtis said the same.
But the door should always be open
for our good friend prudence, right?
Who's Prudence?
So you're here to cut costs?
Let us not get bogged down in
the details of the whole thing.
We'll save it for our one-to-ones.
Officer Curtis,
didn't you say you had some new
and exciting information
for Inspector Wilson?
OK, so, I carried on
working through all of
Adam Carter's past victims,
just to see if there's a link
between them and someone on the island.
And you found one?
Samantha Colby.
When she had a rough time
after being fleeced by
our victim, Adam Carter,
she had to declare herself bankrupt.
But, um, guess who she
went to school with.
Not the victim?
Was it the victim?
No, it wasn't the victim.
She went to school with Danielle Bailey.
I don't know who that is.
- One of the suspects.
- Ah. Got you.
And going off their social media,
the pair are still very much friends.
So he did this to Sam as well?
She came out here and?
We're talking to her right now.
But we know that Adam duped her,
like he was going to do to you.
What, you didn't know that?
No, I swear.
Miss Colby never mentioned it to you?
Because it's a big thing.
And you're good friends, right?
Miss Bailey
There's something.
Just that we drifted, Sam and I.
Or rather, being honest,
I felt that she became distant
in the last year or so,
and I didn't know why.
But I guess now I do.
Miss Colby confirms she never
mentioned anything to Danielle,
or to her friends or family.
She kept it secret.
Felt too embarrassed and ashamed.
Sam! Why didn't I realise?
Did she say anything else?
Only that she feels to blame
for Adam Carter targeting Danielle.
Why?
She said she talked about you to him,
before she knew what he was up to,
just casually sharing
things about her friends.
She thinks that's why
he maybe chose you.
He'll have used some of that
knowledge to deceive you.
I have been such a bloody idiot.
It's tricky,
because there is a world
in which Danielle Bailey
got the ultimate revenge on the
guy who fleeced her old friend.
If that's what they did,
if they were in it together,
and all that then was just an act
We still don't know how she did it.
For that matter, we don't
know how any of them did it.
We have four suspects,
and all four have watertight
alibis for the time
that Adam Carter was killed.
Gary Baines was here at the hotel,
having breakfast.
Kelly Herbert was at a bar in town,
knocking back the rum.
And Danielle Bailey and Delmar
Lloyd were at the airport,
pretty much watching the
murder take place on her phone.
So if it was one of those
four who did it, how?
Also, sir, two of the
suspects are women,
and we know from the video
call the killer was male,
so really we've only got
Inspector?
Inspector, where are you going?
We're going to go and do what
we do when we don't know.
Right. And what's that?
Bring it to life, DS Thomas.
We bring it to life.
OK, Officer Curtis.
You and Officer Rose understand
what you've got to do, yeah?
Re-enact exactly what
happened the other morning.
Seb, honey? Are you
ready out there? Over.
Affirmative, Officer Curtis.
I am ready, waiting and
Oh, no. It's her again.
Darlene, can I press pause for a second?
We have an unexpected visitor. Over.
CLEARS THROA
Miss Herbert.
Can I help you?
Hi. I just wanted to leave these here.
Right.
Um, I guess that's OK.
It was my mum's idea.
She thought it might bring me closure.
- Mm.
- I won't be able
to move on unless I really
accept he's finally gone.
Thanks.
Um, it's a bit hazy,
but are you the one I pushed in the sea?
Yes, I am that one.
I am him, yes.
Sorry.
No worries.
It's all right. We all make mistakes.
Officer Curtis,
what's going on over there?
Why are we stood around
twiddling our thumbs?
Speak for yourself, Inspector.
I am not twiddling my thumbs,
thank you very much.
Sir, if you're so keen
to get on with it,
why don't we start without Officer Rose?
Darlene can pretend the
killer is coming in
and firing the gun.
But we need to hear the killer.
Seb, any chance of an update out there?
The Inspector is getting
himself all grumpy again.
Unless
..we didn't.
Or not how we thought we did.
Cos if that's how it happened
GUNSHO
Oh, Kristion!
Please, no.
Except we know from the video
call that the killer was a man.
..there's only one way he was shot.
The guy's obviously minted.
He had different ways, tactics.
What's that doing there?
Officer Curtis, I need to check
something on the terrace.
Can you show me the villa, please?
Yeah, a little bit to the left.
A little bit more.
Bingo!
I know who did it,
I know how,
and I think I have an idea of why.
But I need to make a phone call first.
OK.
Also, I need you to get all
of Adam Carter's mobile phones
and get them to the lab.
There's something
on one of them he deleted
which we need to recover.
And, Officer Curtis?
You and Officer Rose
get yourself down to the courthouse.
- We need a search warrant.
- Yes, Inspector.
So, you've cracked it?
Yeah.
Yeah, I've cracked it.
Sir, we found this one.
Hello, button.
Don't you "button" me.
This is one of Adam
Carter's mobile phones.
We found this in the safe,
along with three others.
Several phones for several identities.
But on this specific phone
is evidence that proves
exactly how one of you
four managed to shoot him
without apparently
being anywhere near him
when it happened.
And it was something you said,
Miss Herbert,
that helped us to work out
exactly what happened to Adam
the morning he was killed.
Something I said?
Yeah, the kind of tricks and
subterfuges he would employ,
to convince you to part with more money.
The way he made you
believe that bad people
were out to get him.
And that's what you saw, Danielle,
playing out on the video
call you had with Mr Carter,
because there was no intruder,
and there was no shooting.
I don't understand.
What you heard was a
recording on this phone
that we recovered from the lab,
made by Adam himself,
and Bluetoothed to this music system.
Like this.
ADAM: Just stay where you are.
You hear? Stay where you are.
That's not Kristion Adam.
Yes, it is.
Adam recorded it in his
native London accent,
but whenever he spoke to you
he adopted a Caribbean accent,
so you'd never suss him out.
CARIBBEAN ACCENT:
Please, don't do anything rash, man.
Look, I-I don't know what you want.
LONDON ACCENT:
Stay where you are.
You know you had this coming.
So when she got here
and found him alive,
he'd explain he owed money -
that's why he was being threatened -
- and he needed help paying it.
- Bingo.
Which brings me to this.
When we arrived, we found
this bullet in Adam's hand,
and it's had us wondering
throughout the case,
what was it doing there?
Our only conclusion being
that the killer must
have placed it there.
But if they did, why?
Except, this wasn't the same
bullet that killed Adam Carter.
It was a different one.
This one he was going to
show to you, Miss Bailey,
as evidence that someone
tried to shoot him -
proof he'd been shot at.
He WAS shot. I found
him lying there dead.
Oh, yeah, he was shot,
all right. No doubt.
But not when we all thought he was,
and not by an intruder,
but by this gentleman over here.
Delmar Lloyd.
What?
No, I didn't
You'd been working with Mr Carter
for the past couple of months,
and therefore you knew
this wasn't the first time
he'd played this trick on someone.
And you had a crucial part
to play in it, didn't you?
Pretending to call the police
whenever one of Adam's victims
thought he'd been shot.
Except three days ago,
you phoned the police for real,
because you knew that
this time Adam Carter
wasn't going to be found alive.
And when you arrived,
you purposely stayed back,
knowing that Danielle,
with nothing but concern
for the man she fell
head over heels for,
would feel compelled to go inside
and find out if he was still alive.
I need to see if he's all right.
No. What if he's still inside?
The gunman.
It was clever of him,
planting a seed in your head,
because in order for his plan to work,
Mr Lloyd needed you to walk
through this villa slowly
..tentatively
Kristion?
..just in case there was
a killer waiting around the corner
Kristion, where are you?
..giving him the time
he needed to run ahead,
faster than you,
down the side of the property,
and shoot Adam Carter dead.
Hey!
What are you doing?
GUNSHO
It took him only seconds,
so by the time you got to the terrace,
Adam was dead and Delmar
was already out of sight,
making his way back to
the front of the house.
Now I assume, once you'd
discovered Adam's body,
you went out and informed Delmar,
and he told you to wait
right there for the police,
giving him enough time to
get rid of the last pieces
of evidence from the crime scene.
First, he deleted the recording,
and returned the phone back to the safe,
so that when we arrived,
the only phone we'd find on Adam
was the one he used to call Danielle.
Then he recovered the real bullet.
We'll probably never know where
you disposed of the gun, Mr Lloyd,
but we have recovered the
clothes you were wearing,
and they will be checked
for gunshot residue.
Which leaves one final question.
Why?
Why kill Adam Carter?
Before we came here today,
I spoke on the phone to your daughter
about your relationship
with your granddaughter,
and she told me how much
Samara meant to you,
how much you doted on her,
how much you loved her.
And I could see it in your eyes
when you showed us that photo of her.
Which made me wonder
how you grew to feel
about what Adam was doing
to these young women.
The longer it carried on,
did it get you to thinking,
"What if he did that to
someone I cared about?
"Someone I loved?" Like Samara.
It was wrong.
Everything that he was doing
to those poor women was wrong.
Breaking their hearts
and taking their money?
It was evil.
And that's why initially
you took Mr Carter's money, isn't it?
You told us you took it
for your granddaughter's
college fund, but when we spoke
to your daughter just now,
she told us Samara is
not going to college.
Never was.
So all we can think is,
the real reason you took the
money was to make amends,
give it back to the women
Adam Carter had stolen from?
But that wasn't enough, was it, Delmar?
You realised, even if you did that,
he would still just carry
on hurting other women,
more women,
in different parts of the world,
for as long as he could.
Well, now he's not doing
it any more, is he?
No-one else is going to get hurt.
It is over.
SEB: Delmar Lloyd, I'm arresting you
on suspicion of the murder
I want to thank you on behalf
of the Chief Commissioner
and everyone back at HQ
for everything you've
done over the last
..how many years is it?
51?
Whoa! Wow.
That's a whole heap of
experience and wisdom
you've got.
Indeed.
Unlike your good self.
Very true.
I am but a mere novice compared to you.
Makes me wonder if I'm
even up to the job.
Me too.
Your quirky sense of humour again.
I love it!
Such a shame you're not going
to be around for any more jokes.
Well, Selwyn,
I wish you the very best
with everything you do.
Very good luck to you too.
HE SIGHS
SIGHS: Three days,
that's been up. Not a peep.
I'm sorry, sir.
It was worth a try.
Er, two beers, please, mate.
So the first thing I want to do
is get hold of my mum's
phone records, yeah?
Do you want me to make a start
going through her emails?
- There you go.
- Cheers, mate.
And what about your mother's house?
We haven't done a full search yet.
Or processed it for prints.
Or done a door-to-door on the street.
Yeah, yeah, we need to do that as well.
You know, the thing that
really gets me with this,
having spoken to all the
people that knew my mum,
is that all of them,
without exception, talk about how
..how good and kind and
caring a woman she was.
So why would anyone want her dead?
SEB:
So, this case, the Inspector's mother.
There's no weapon, no suspect,
no apparent motive.
You knew her, right?
Where were you when the storm hit?
- Well, is that relevant?
- Something not right about it.
About all of it. About him.
The Dorna Bray case,
we need to close it down.
You can't do this.
Mervin came to Saint Marie
looking for answers.
If he has to leave without finding them,
then this island
has let him down.
Is that really how you
want this all to end?
