Oh, wow, Catherine.
-Ah! -That looks amazing.
Thank you, J.P. But where's Humphrey?
Let's not worry about him, he's always late.
I suggest we get stuck in.
Hey, Bumba! Don't tell me you managed to sell
that old rustbucket.
Bumba Dupuis, he's been trying to sell that old boat
as long as I've known him.
So, go on, now. What idiot did you trick into
buying her
Ahoy there!
Look what I've just bought.
Come on, we live on an island.
And I realised I should be out there
on the water, sailing.
So you bought a boat.
Yes, well, you've got to have a boat if you
want to go sailing, J.P.
Yes, Chief. But you bought that boat.
Yes, I know she's a bit tired around the edges,
needs a lick of paint,
but I can get her into shape and then, imagine!
Come on, admit it.
Don't you just want to be, you know,
out there,
sailing?
Right, then, we're here!
Guys?
I just wanted to remind you, I want your best work,
everyone.
Clean samples. No contamination, okay?
Nicky, if you'd like to take it from here?
Sure. Er, okay, guys, we're doing three dives today,
each 20 minutes long,
so we need to keep an eye on
our bottom time, yeah?
Dan will be staying on board, so that's me, Sam, Laura
and Jonathan
-Not now, Jonathan. -Please, I've got to know.
And I've told you, I haven't made up
my mind, okay?
I'll let you know when I have.
SAM: Here, let me help you with that.
Takes ages before this sort of stuff
becomes second nature.
-Thank you, Sam. -All right.
Where's your sample bag?
-Oh, I, erm... -I think you left it
in the cabin.
Yeah, let... Sorry, let me just go and grab it.
Cut her some slack, will you?
Have you seen my sample bag?
Oh, I don't know.
Found it!
You know I love you, huh?
And I love you, too.
NICKY: Come on, Laura!
Right, then.
Let's go diving.
I'll never get used to how beautiful the reef is.
Those colours!
Dan? We're back.
-I'll get him. -LAURA: Okay.
Thing is, Laura, the reef's not actually
different colours, 'cause coral's only
the one colour, white.
It's Dan!
Witnesses over here. The victim is on the boat.
His name is Dan Hagen, a marine biologist.
The witnesses are saying they were all scuba diving
at the coral reef when he was shot.
They reckon it was crooks on a passing boat.
Robbery at sea? Well, let's check out
the crime scene,
see if that theory stacks up.
Er, and I'll stand over there with the witnesses, you know,
make sure they're all okay.
Er, yes. Okay, J.P., good idea, you do that.
That's us three working the crime scene, then.
Looks like a small-calibre firearm.
So, was he shot and then the place was ransacked,
or was the place trashed first and then he was killed?
It's hard to tell, sir, but someone
was looking for something.
And what do you think that was, Florence?
Well, if it was a robbery, Chief, it would be for cash,
portable goods.
You know, the usual thing.
I can't find the victim's wallet.
HUMPHREY: Look at his wrist. There are tan marks
but no watch,
and I can't see a wallet or watch nearby.
A toy soldier.
HUMPHREY: Hmm, bizarre. What's a toy soldier doing
on a science boat?
Thanks, J.P. Could you help Dwayne finish processing
the crime scene, please?
Of course, sir. Er, I'm on it.
Thank you all for waiting. Er, we have a few questions,
er, starting with exactly who you all are.
Of course. I'm Dr Sam Blake,
head of the oceanography department
at Princeton University.
Er, this is Dr Nicky Hoskins of West Lothian University,
a marine biologist and our lead diver.
Jonathan Taylor, research graduate.
And this is Laura, Dan's wife.
Can I ask what you were all doing out at sea?
We've been studying the coral reef,
collecting groups of polyps that have lost their colour,
it's a phenomenon known as coral bleaching.
And you've all been doing this for how long?
This trip? Four days.
Dan and Laura already live here and we stay at
his villa when we're working.
In the first morning, we did a general survey and trash
collection on the reef
and then in the afternoon
we finished up collecting the rest of the samples.
But what you should know is that we were all underwater
on the reef
when, you know... When it happened.
Mr Hagen stayed on the boat on his own?
You always leave someone on the boat for safety.
It was his turn, so...
HUMPHREY: Yes, I'm sorry about this,
but I'm having difficulty picturing the scene.
If you could all explain exactly where you were
when you last saw Mr Hagen?
Sure. I was at the back of the boat
putting on my diving gear
when Dan went into the cabin.
LAURA: I went into the cabin to get a sample bag.
Found it!
That was when I last saw him.
And that's the last place I saw him as well,
in the cabin, kissing Laura.
He was alive when we left.
Right, then.
Let's go diving!
And Jonathan
Er, I don't really remember.
I was just getting ready for the dive,
that's what I was focusing on.
I see. So Mr Hagen was killed and the boat was searched
sometime in between you all leaving it
and you all returning.
What time was this?
We started our dive at 10:00 this morning.
It took us a few minutes to swim down to the reef.
We collected samples for 20 minutes
and then we all swam back up to the boat.
So the window of opportunity is somewhere between
10:00 a.m. and 10:30?
I think so.
Then were you in sight of each other the whole time
you were underwater?
Well, not exactly. I mean, we do try
and stay together,
but obviously we're focusing on collecting samples.
So, one of you could have swum back to the boat.
No, it's crystal clear down there.
If anyone had swum away, someone would have
noticed them go.
You're sure about that?
-Yeah. -Yeah.
Pretty sure.
Which is why you think Mr Hagen was killed
by passing robbers?
We noticed that his watch was missing.
Does Mr Hagen normally carry a wallet on him?
Always, with usually quite a few thousand dollars in it.
Then, finally, can I ask,
does anyone know why I found a little toy soldier
near Mr Hagen's body?
I'm sorry?
I found a little metal toy soldier
by the victim's body.
Does anyone know why that might
have been there?
There weren't any children, perhaps, on the boat?
-No. -SAM: No.
And we clean the boat out every morning.
So, if you found a toy in the cabin, it wasn't there
when we set out.
Oh, don't worry. I'm sure it's not important.
-Yes.
Why don't you go and check and see
if all the divers
used the same amount of oxygen from their tanks.
Er, good idea. Good idea.
Hey! Why are you doing it over there?
No reason. Just thought I'd do it here,
you know?
The light's better.
Oh.
That's good to know. Thank you.
Tell you what I don't get, Florence.
The victim was a millionaire,
he'd have handed over his wallet and watch
the moment the robbers asked for them, wouldn't he?
So why did they have to shoot him dead?
And you should know, sir, that was the Coast Guard
and as far as they're aware,
there weren't any other boats in the area this morning.
And our witnesses are not getting on as well
as they'd like us to think.
Nicky Hoskins clearly has problems
with the deceased's wife.
If this wasn't a gang of criminals committing
robbery at sea,
have you found a gun anywhere on the boat?
DWAYNE: No, sir.
If you are the killer, sir, you'd just throw
the gun overboard
once the victim's dead, along with the wallet
and watch.
To make it look like robbery gone wrong.
Yes, very good.
Any chance of recovering them?
FLORENCE: I'm sure we'll be able to find out
the boat's coordinates at the time of the murder.
I'm going to speak to the Saint-Marie Diving School,
see if we can search the seabed nearby.
Yes, please do. So we're going to need all the help
we can get on this case,
because I think you're right, Florence.
One of those four people is our killer.
But he was alive when they went
into the water,
and they're all saying they were all
in sight of each other
the whole time they were underwater.
How did one of them swim back to the boat,
shoot Dan Hagen dead,
before then taking the time to trash the cabin
to make it look like a robbery gone wrong,
swim back to the reef
and all without any of the other witnesses
noticing the killer's absence at any time?
Seemingly impossible.
SAM: Excuse me?
Yes?
I just wanted to know when we could get our samples.
I'm sorry, Dr Blake, but the boat's a crime scene.
You won't be able to access your samples.
Ah, but can we ask you a question?
-Of course. -Could you tell us a bit about
Nicky Hoskins' relationship with Mrs Hagen?
Nicky used to be Dan's girlfriend.
-Well, hold on a minute.
Nicky, Dan and I have been working together on and off
for about a decade and a half now.
I didn't think she was the sort of person
who was interested in relationships,
but few years back, she and Dan got together.
How was Nicky when it ended?
Not great. We were out here at the time.
She left the expedition and flew back
to the UK soon after.
I just think it's Laura that Nicky has a problem with.
Ex-girlfriends, new wives,
I mean, they're never going to be best friends, are they?
So, I've been looking into Dan Hagen's life, sir,
and he was very rich.
He inherited a fortune when his parents died
in his early 20s,
and since then, he's dedicated his life
to researching the oceans.
HUMPHREY: A fortune that I presume
his wife Laura inherits,
which is interesting, because...
Now, hold on a moment, erm... No, not you.
Not you. No, not you. Ah, yes, right, here we go.
So, Laura married Dan just under a year ago,
but before,
she worked as a flight attendant
but she had a rich upbringing.
Private school, parents both worked
in the city.
But there was a flag against her father's name
on the system.
-Yes, I've put in
a request for them
to release the file to us.
-Ah, Commissioner,
good afternoon!
Good afternoon, Detective Inspector.
-Good afternoon, Detective Sergeant.
-Sir.
So, word reaches me that a wealthy tourist
has just been killed
-while out on his boat. -Yes, that's right, sir.
Only you should know, I've got a dinner at
the yacht club tomorrow night
and I want to be able to reassure the members
of the committee
that there isn't in fact a gang of pirates
operating off the coast of Saint-Marie.
Well, sir, I wouldn't want to rule
anything out at this moment.
Erm, but equally, I wouldn't want to rule
anything in, either. I suppose what I'm saying
is that it's, er, it's very early days.
Then I'd appreciate it if you kept me
abreast of the situation.
Yes, of course, sir.
So there's a yacht club on the island, is there?
Oh, yes.
Only, I've, erm... I've bought a yacht myself.
You have?
-Well, she needs
a little bit of a spit and polish but, er,
once she's shipshape,
maybe I could join?
Well, is that the time?
Thank you very much, Detective Inspector, but, erm,
I'm sure you're extremely busy.
Good day. Good day.
Yes, always glad to be of assistance, sir.
What do you think he actually does all day?
-Sir. -No, yes, of course, yes.
Erm, carry on with background checks,
would you?
And see if you can put some pressure
on the Met
to release Laura's dad's file ASAP.
I'm going to see what we can discover
from the toy soldier we found at the scene.
Okay, you've got to tell me what's going on.
Excuse me?
You've been acting strange ever since you
came aboard that boat.
I don't think I have, Dwayne. I'm... I'm cool.
That was you being cool?
Listen, I'm your partner, you've got to tell me
if something's up.
Okay.
It's just... I can't swim, so I kind of don't like
hanging around boats.
You know, I don't like hanging around boats.
No, no! Not that bit, the bit before that,
the bit where you said you can't swim.
-Well, that's because I can't. -But everybody can swim!
I know. It's just, I can't.
Is that bad?
A police officer on an island in the middle
of the Caribbean?
It's not good, I can tell you that much.
There are no fingerprints on this toy anywhere.
-Not even a partial,
or a partial of a partial. It's been wiped
entirely clean.
Why would you wipe a toy clean of fingerprints?
Anyway, how are you getting on?
Well, sir, Sam Blake only took up his post
of Head of Oceanography
at Princeton University earlier this year.
-And as far as I can tell,
he got the job partly because of
a famous scientific paper
-he and Mr Hagen published last year.
-I see.
"Mr Hagen and Dr Blake have revolutionised
our understanding
"of the coral reefs in the Caribbean."
That's impressive.
As for Jonathan Taylor, he graduated
from Plymouth University
with a first-class degree in Marine Biology.
So, what about Nicky Hoskins, the, er,
victim's ex
She's got no prior convictions,
but I spoke to Immigration
and Sam Blake was right.
He and Nicky were on Saint-Marie
two years ago,
but Nicky returned to the UK after only three days.
-One moment, sir.
Yes.
It's all a bit of a coincidence, isn't it?
Her being here at the precise moment
her ex-boyfriend is killed,
wouldn't you say?
Okay, sir, this is an email
-from the Metropolitan Police. -Yes.
They have released Laura's dad's file,
and it says here he was convicted
of fraud 15 years ago.
Was he?
He was declared bankrupt and went to prison.
HUMPHREY: So Laura's father
is a criminal?
FLORENCE: Who was once very rich.
Laura would have lost everything when
her dad went to prison.
Yes, but with her husband dead,
she's now very rich again.
This is where Dan worked and kept all his
research papers.
The police wanted to see Dan's study,
if that's okay with you?
Of course.
Is it really bad I can't swim?
Okay, I'm going to tell you something you won't believe.
When I started out as a young copper,
I was a bit slack.
Unreliable, even. I know!
But I remember my chief pulling me over
to one side and saying,
"Dwayne, a policeman can't have any weaknesses.
"He needs to be the complete package."
Yes, but, you know, on the subject of swimming.
And that means we need to be able to give chase
at a moment's notice,
which is why I keep myself in a state of peak
physical fitness.
We need to be able to swim, J.P.
The full package.
You only have to look at me to see that.
No weaknesses.
I understand your father was convicted of fraud?
-Your father went to prison.
He broke the law, yes.
That must have been tough.
It was. I went off the rails, if I'm honest.
Dropped out of school, left home as soon as I could.
-I moved in with a friend
from London.
She was a flight attendant. That's how I became one.
How did you meet Mr Hagen?
It was on a flight from here to Heathrow.
I was working the first-class cabin.
Dan was reading an article in The New York Times
on coral reefs.
That's how we got talking. I had an interest in ecology
from travelling.
-About the things
that mattered.
Then again, it was easy.
We had the same interests, the same sense of humour.
I'm really sorry to ask, but do you inherit
your husband's fortune?
We were only married nine months ago.
What are you suggesting?
He was the most wonderful man I ever met.
Yes.
We understand that Nicky Hoskins was once
your husband's girlfriend.
Only, it just strikes us as odd that she'd be
on this trip with you.
LAURA: Dan had said they always worked together
and that Nicky was the best research diver he knew.
Anyway, I was the one that was married to him.
I didn't have anything to worry about.
And Miss Hoskins said yes to the invitation?
Apparently there weren't many research jobs around.
And she stayed in the house with you all?
Your husband's ex
Dan said we worked long hours and that we all
needed to stay together.
But you're right.
It wasn't easy.
Nicky didn't have a problem with Dan.
She had got over him.
It was me she had a problem with.
Yeah, I'm sorry. There really
wasn't any tension
between Miss Hoskins and your husband?
-There wasn't.
But if you're asking if anyone argued with him before,
there was somebody. But it wasn't Nicky.
It was yesterday.
We'd been collecting samples all day and I was passing
by Dan's study
when I heard him arguing with Sam.
Do you know what it was about?
It was something to do with the data that they'd
been collecting.
It was all in one folder and Sam didn't want it
to be published.
And would you, by any chance, know where this folder
of data might be?
DWAYNE: Mmm-hmm. Okay.
So, that was Frankie from the Saint-Marie Dive School.
He said he's had everyone searching the seabed
where Dan was shot.
But no sign of a wallet, a gold watch or a gun.
-Well, it's a big sea
out there, Chief!
And you should know, sir, in saltwater,
fingerprints start dissolving fast.
So it's possible the evidence wouldn't
tell us anything, anyway.
Yes, yes. Well, thank you for trying. Er, how about you,
Florence?
How are you getting on with the folder
that Dr Blake and Mr Hagen were arguing over?
It's a lot of data, sir. It's hard to know
what it means.
Yes, well, maybe there's an independent expert
you can rustle up to help you go through it.
Well, sir, I'm going through Mr Hagen's laptop.
And it's pretty clear he loved his wife.
There are a lot of emails to her
of a personal nature, if you see what I mean.
-But no leads yet. -Okay. Keep digging.
But in the morning, let's finish up for now.
But I want everyone to keep thinking.
One of those four people is our killer.
So how come everyone said they were down here
collecting samples the whole time,
when in reality one of them was up here committing murder?
How does our little metal friend
fit into all of this?
DWAYNE: Ahoy!
Now, this is what I call sailing!
A boat tied to the jetty
that has its own bar at the other end.
Ah, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
-There's just so much to do
to get the boat shipshape, Dwayne.
So, how about we sand the combing first, you and me,
then we can have a drink?
I'll tell you what. Why don't you do 10
to 15 minutes of sanding
while I sit here and have a quick drink
and then we'll swap
All right, your time starts now!
Jolly good. Right, here we go.
-Better than sanding. -Better than sanding.
And who knew the sun was going to go down
before you even got a chance to give it a go?
-Yes.
She's going to be absolutely amazing
when she's ready.
So much that Nancy and I are going to do together.
Nancy?
Yes, apparently the boat's called Nancy.
The funny thing is, when I was growing up,
I used to live next door to a girl called Nancy.
She'd babysit for us.
That's why you bought a boat called Nancy?
No! No, no, of course not.
No, it's just complete coincidence
that I bought a boat called, er, Nancy. Why are
you looking at me like that?
Like what?
Like you're deciding whether to say something
or not.
No way!
So, how's your love life?
That went down the wrong hole. Yeah.
Right. Erm, er, fine, thanks, Dwayne.
-No reason.
I was just shooting the breeze.
Yeah.
Right, come on, Harry. What is that?
Right over left or left...
Ah.
Not again! Ah!
HUMPHREY: Please leave a message
after the beep.
FLORENCE: Sir, if you're there, pick up!
This is important.
I found something!
Oh, get that for me, Harry. I'm a bit tied up
at the moment.
FLORENCE: Sir, are you there?
No
FLORENCE: Okay, well, I'll meet you at the station.
Ah, good morning, Florence. Erm, where are
Dwayne and J.P.?
Following up a lead. We found a receipt
for a lock-up
in Dan Hagen's name, so they've gone
to check it out.
Ah, jolly good. So what did you
want to tell me?
Well, sir, you were right to make me get hold
of an expert.
Because when I talked through the data
with a professor from the oceanography department
in Marseille University,
he was able to spot it at once.
Spot... Spot what?
Well, sir, last time Mr Hagen and Dr Blake
were getting readings from the reef of temperature,
salinity, carbon dioxide and so on,
All other readings are back to normal.
As my expert put it, either the data they used
for the famous paper was contaminated,
or much worse.
It was faked.
I think it's time we spoke to Dr Sam Blake. Don't you?
What's up?
You ever get the sixth sense someone's watching you?
Come on, open it up!
Let's see what Mr Hagen keeps in here.
I understand you and Mr Hagen published a paper
on the coral reefs of Saint-Marie last year.
Well, that's very gratifying.
Did you read about it at the time
in the national press?
No.
Yeah, but it has come up as part of our enquiries.
In the paper, you proved that in elevated sea temperatures,
high levels of dissolved CO2 resulted
in increased bleaching.
Whereas the zooxanthellae in the polyps died.
You have done your research.
Yes, I have no idea what she's talking about.
Well, most people can't even pronounce zooxanthellae,
let alone know what it means.
But on this trip,
you're not getting the same data
from the reef, are you?
Well, it's early days.
There's still time.
Please, don't lie to us.
I'm sorry?
Before you try and deny it, Mrs Hagen overheard
the argument
you had with her husband in his lab the night
before he was killed,
when you tried to get him to suppress your new findings.
Look, you don't understand.
This has been my life's work.
And when we were here the last time,
we got amazing readings.
It was our breakthrough, a chance to publish
and to really make our names.
But this time it was obvious
that our previous data had been contaminated.
And we soon worked it out, the dissolved CO2 reader
had been calibrated incorrectly,
but the point was
our famous paper was based on false readings.
What did Nicky say about this?
We haven't told her about it.
Isn't she supposed to be a core member of your team?
Okay, so it was just you and Mr Hagen in on this,
which brings us back to the evening
before he was killed
and your argument with him in his lab.
SAM: Dan wanted to retract the paper at once.
This was my triumph, too.
I begged him to wait
until we collected more data. But he wouldn't listen to me.
Then again, why would he? He's a multi-millionaire.
He doesn't care what people think about him.
It's not the same for me.
It took me a long time to get here.
If I lose my reputation...
You'd lose your new job in the United States.
So you killed Dan Hagen to keep your reputation.
No, no!
No, you don't understand, I'm trying to explain
why Dan and I argued the night before he died.
Why it was important to me.
But with Dan alive, he'd have discredited you.
And with him dead,
your reputation and job are once again safe,
aren't they?
It's just science stuff in here, isn't it?
What?
You still think we are being watched?
Eh? No way.
Because if there was someone out there,
I would know.
Remember, J.P., the complete package!
Don't worry yourself, man. You'll be just fine!
Let us out! We're the police!
Let us out!
Man!
You okay? -Of course I'm okay!
-You don't look okay. -Look, I'm okay.
It's just... You know how I said policeman can't
have any weaknesses?
Well, I don't. Of course not.
It's just... Okay.
I used to be scared of the dark.
You're scared of the dark?
The dark and enclosed spaces.
But I'm cured now, you know.
I'm 100% cured!
-I'm going to ring
the Inspector.
Let me see if I can get a signal.
-He will be able to get us out of here.
-Mmm-hmm.
Now, that is very interesting!
-Ah! No, no. Er, you go first.
What have you been able to dig up?
And then I shall tell you my breakthrough.
Well, sir, I've been doing financial checks
and the student, Jonathan Taylor, is the only
witness with money problems.
He's over his limit on two credit cards
and he's got significant student loans.
Although he doesn't benefit financially from Dan's death
in any way, does he?
No, sir.
As for Laura Hagen, you know how she said
she dropped out of school at 17?
Turns out she didn't have much choice.
She was expelled for having an affair
with a teacher.
Gosh!
So she wasn't wrong when she said
she went off the rails.
And Nicky Hoskins' boss at the university
has been in touch.
But there's still nothing that helps us.
She shares a flat with someone from
the English faculty
and her boss says Nicky is basically well-liked
and well-respected.
Good.
So, that's me, sir. What have you got?
Well, it is, like I said, a bit of a breakthrough.
Because our soldier turns out to be
a model of a Duke of Wellington
infantryman
from the 1815 Napoleonic Wars.
Made by Hemsworth and Platt, a company based in Harrogate.
-Sir. -Yes, I know, I know, I know.
But come on.
Why did we find a toy soldier with no fingerprints
on a science boat?
It's odd.
Hello? Ah, yes, J.P.
How you getting on down at the lock
I'm sorry. What?
You okay, Dwayne?
We've been locked in here for a reason.
I'm just trying to find out why.
You know, it happened when I was three.
Huh?
My brother, he pushed me into a swimming pool.
I've been scared of water ever since.
I was five. My sister locked me
inside an old trunk
and wouldn't let me out.
For three hours, you know.
You have a sister?
So it's lucky we don't have any weaknesses, eh, J.P.?
-No weaknesses! -Good!
Ah.
-Yeah, don't worry.
We're just fine.
-Glad to hear it.
Dwayne?
Don't worry, sir.
Dwayne is in no way scared or worried.
He's a complete package.
Hmm, and speaking of complete packages...
-Cocaine. -Crikey.
DWAYNE: I reckon about half a kilo, Chief.
So what's a millionaire marine biologist
doing with half a kilo of cocaine in his lock
Hmm?
You see, all along we've been presuming
this was about money,
rather than someone protecting their reputation
or a jilted girlfriend getting revenge.
But what if it's got nothing to do
with any of that?
-HUMPHREY: Exactly.
-Yes.
We've got another fingerprint.
-No, sir.
It's the first fingerprint on the drugs
that doesn't belong to Dan Hagen.
Jonathan Taylor, the student.
We should go and interview him.
Wait. Er, J.P., ring the witnesses' villa,
let's see if anyone's seen Jonathan this afternoon.
That if Jonathan is the guy that locked
Dwayne and J.P. in,
he must have known they'd get out at some point,
that they'd find the cocaine at some point
with his fingerprints on.
So what's he been up to in the meantime?
But he can't get off the island.
We've got his passport.
There's more than one way off Saint-Marie, Florence.
I'm speaking to Laura. -Yes.
She says Jonathan just cleared out his room,
packed and left. She doesn't know
where he's gone to.
You know what? I bet I do. Come on, let's go!
MAN: Whoa. Whoa.
Hey! Stop. Hey!
HUMPHREY: Florence?
Now, that's what I call "no weaknesses," Dwayne.
Gosh! You can say that again.
It's not what you think.
HUMPHREY: Doesn't matter what we think,
it's what a jury thinks
when they discover your fingerprints all over
half a kilo of cocaine.
And that you locked up two serving police officers
in a dark garage.
-That as well. -And then tried to escape.
Oh, yes. And that as well.
It's been my dream, this job.
Working out here with Dan in the Caribbean,
it's all I've ever wanted to do.
Tell us about the cocaine.
There was this guy that I met at the Student Union,
we got chatting.
He knew all about my job.
He said all I had to do was collect a package
while I was out here
and take it back to him in the UK,
and that he would... He would pay me
5,000 pounds to do it.
You're a drugs mule.
HUMPHREY: Mr Hagen found out, didn't he?
JONATHAN: Yeah, he caught me red-handed.
Dan said he had to report me to the police
and I begged him to wait, 'cause I'd be finished
if he did.
And he said he'd think about it.
Please, I've got to know.
And I've told you, I haven't made up
my mind, okay?
When I saw Dan had been killed,
I knew I had to find the stuff before you did.
So eventually I realised maybe they're
in Dan's lock up.
And when I got there, I saw your two
police officers.
I knew I was right that that's where
Dan had put the drugs,
covered in my prints! And I just panicked.
Okay.
Now, let me put an alternative theory to you.
Dan Hagen decided to tell the police that
you were a drugs mule,
so you killed him.
And you thought you'd got away with it
until you saw my two officers
about to find the cocaine that proves that you
were a murderer.
So you decided to make a run for it.
No, no, I shouldn't have run. I know that now.
But you have to believe me,
I've never done anything like this before.
I'll admit to the drugs but I couldn't kill anyone!
Well, I think we all owe our amazing
Detective Sergeant a drink
after all those athletic heroics.
-Well done, Sarge! -Thank you, Dwayne!
Eh, J.P., you're coming for a celebratory drink,
or two or three?
Chief?
Oh, er, I'd love to, but I've, erm, well, I've
still got my boat.
Er, so I'll be spending the evening sanding.
I love it!
-Okay, Chief. -Okay.
-Oh. Officer. -Just came for some food.
Hey, no worries. Have a good evening.
CATHERINE: Would you like a table outside?
-Sure have.
DWAYNE: Then we better stay here.
This is now a very important undercover police operation.
Which means the drinks are on expenses.
Hello!
Oh...
Inspector?
-Oh, God.
Commissioner!
Can I, er, get you some help?
Er, no, no. Don't worry, sir.
It's just merely a flesh wound.
And this eye still works. Yes.
So...
this...
is your yacht?
Yes, sir.
You should know, sir,
Mr Hagen wasn't murdered by criminals.
I think it was one of his team.
We just need to work out the how and the, er, who.
And the, you know, why.
Then I'll be sure to tell the president
of the yacht club right now.
-Oh, yes!
I'm having dinner with him on his boat.
Just there.
HUMPHREY: Right.
Have a good evening, Inspector.
Yeah.
ALL: Commissioner!
CATHERINE: Oh, Humphrey!
Oh, good evening, Catherine.
What on earth have you done to your leg?
Er...
-I'll get the first aid kit.
HUMPHREY: Thanks.
DWAYNE: We've been keeping them under
surveillance, Chief.
HUMPHREY: Yes, I see.
LAURA: I was the one that was married!
SAM: Laura.
Just give her...
Why did you do that, hmm?
Well, that was interesting.
HUMPHREY: Yes, it was. Wasn't it?
Oh! Good morning, sir.
You're in early.
It's Nicky Hoskins, Florence.
All along, she's been our most obvious suspect.
I mean, what kind of person
takes a job with their ex-boyfriend
and his new wife?
-Nicky needed the work. -True.
But I remembered your notes said Nicky had a flatmate.
So I got her number and I've just finished
talking to her.
-Yes, and I wrote it
all down here.
So,
the flatmate said that Nicky, er, kept herself to herself.
Quelle surprise there.
And she hasn't had a boyfriend in two years.
But when I pressed her, I hit gold, Florence, gold.
Because a few months ago,
the flatmate got back early from a night out
and found Nicky on the phone in the sitting room.
She'd been drinking, she was crying,
and pleading to be with the person on the other
end of the phone.
Only her ex-boyfriend, Dan Hagen.
No way!
How do you know that?
Because her flatmate very clearly heard her say
"I miss you,"
"I want you" and "I love you" a number of times.
-No.
I think it's time that Nicky told us the truth.
Don't you?
Hello.
Er, the others said you were down here.
I needed to clear my head.
You see, all along, we've been struggling to understand
what made you take this job.
Dan asked me to.
But you didn't have to accept.
What is this?
If you could just answer the question.
We were all on the reef when Dan was shot.
Why are you treating me like a suspect?
Well, because you...
You used to go out with him.
Because we know you're still in love with him.
You rang him a few months ago.
Your flatmate Louise overheard the call.
That was, erm, just one moment of madness.
But that is why you decided to take this job again, right?
Isn't it? Because you still loved him.
So why have you been lying to us?
The day that Dan told me it was over,
I thought he was going to propose to me.
Hmm. Imagine how that made me feel.
And when he married the next woman
that came along...
Well, I tried to get over him.
I tried so hard.
But you couldn't.
I thought I had.
Until that one night of weakness.
And a few weeks later, he contacted me
and invited me out here.
-Which I don't understand. -That's the type
of man he was.
I think that he even thought that if I met his wife
I would come to like her.
FLORENCE: But you didn't?
NICKY: Would you?
So you took this job
so you could be in the company of Mr Hagen again.
Isn't that right?
But it was impossible to forgive him, wasn't it?
Not for what he'd done.
-So he had to die. -No, no.
I would gladly kill that bitch.
But I would never harm Dan.
He was my soulmate.
He just didn't know.
So Nicky Hoskins kills Dan Hagen because
if she can't have him,
then no one can have him.
Although killing him is the only way
of guaranteeing
-she'll never see him again. -I know what you mean.
Not that any of that matters, Florence,
because Nicky's right.
She's got three witnesses
who say she was underwater at the coral reef
at the time Dan was killed.
So how could she, or indeed anyone else,
possibly have been in two places
at the same time?
Hold on.
-Boats dump their rubbish
in the sea.
It then washes up later.
Yes, but look at the edges, they're all smooth.
Well, sir, everything gets worn down in the sea.
Yes.
In saltwater, fingerprints start dissolving fast.
-Hold on!
Now, you're out on your boat, say, having a great time.
You drop a bottle overboard.
-You're getting wet, sir! -Hold on!
So that's that!
You see, it's all very simple when you look at it properly,
Florence.
What does that mean?
There are no fingerprints on this toy, anyway.
So, was he shot and then the place
was ransacked
or was the place trashed first and then he was killed?
In the first morning, we did a general survey and
trash collection on the reef.
But was that before the gun and the wallet and watch,
or was it after?
And was the boat trashed before,
or was it after?
If you are the killer, sir, you'd just throw
the gun overboard
once the victim's dead.
You shoot him...
No, that's not possible, is it?
Unless...
If X then Y, if X then Y...
I thought he was going to propose to me.
I always thought she was one of those people
who wasn't interested in relationships.
That's why you'd say that.
And finally, that's how you get to and from
the coral reef, of course!
It's the riddle of the two barbers.
-The riddle
of the two barbers.
Understand that, Florence,
and you understand who killed Dan Hagen.
-Yes, I do.
And how the killer got to and from the reef
without anyone noticing?
That as well!
Although to prove it, I'm going to need
some flight details.
-I think there's a phone call
An academic institution, Florence. But you knew that,
didn't you?
Thank you all for joining us.
What's going on here?
There's a small town
and in that town, there are only two barbers.
Now, one of them is great at cutting hair,
has a spotless salon and charges reasonable prices.
The other barber is terrible at his job.
And charges exorbitantly for his services.
What is this?
Now, there is a man in this town who needs
a haircut.
And even though he knows the reputation
of the two barbers,
he chooses to get his hair cut
by the bad barber.
Why?
What's this got to do with anything?
Don't worry. We don't know, either.
Is that what you brought us together for,
to ask us riddles?
No, I brought you here to reveal who
killed Dan Hagen.
So was it you, Laura?
No.
-We'd only just got married. -HUMPHREY: That's right!
It doesn't make sense that you'd kill
the love of your life
so soon after marrying him.
So maybe it was Dr Sam Blake here.
After all, how would his university react
once they found out
that the famous paper he and Dan published
was based on fraudulent data?
What?
HUMPHREY: A bit like that, I suppose.
Which brings us to you, Jonathan.
Because we can well imagine
why you needed Dan dead as soon as possible.
-I didn't kill him! -HUMPHREY: I know.
Because it wouldn't make sense to kill Dan
before you'd found the cocaine that incriminated you.
So that leaves only you, Nicky.
And I have to say
that all along, you felt like
our most likely killer.
The jilted lover who still carried a flame.
And yet, I now know
you didn't shoot Dan dead, either.
But if she didn't kill him, then who did?
Well, to understand the who,
we first need to understand just how Dan Hagen was killed.
Now, you were all in each other's sight
the whole time you were under water.
Yet one of you managed to swim back to the boat,
commit murder, trash the boat and get back to the reef.
And all without anyone noticing you'd left the reef.
That's intriguing, isn't it?
Impossible, even.
Wouldn't you say so...
Laura?
-It was you who
shot your husband dead.
But that's not possible. If she'd tried to swim
back to the boat,
-then we'd have seen. -HUMPHREY: I know.
But that's not when Dan Hagen was killed.
Because this is when I finally realised
no one left the reef.
Dan Hagen was dead before you all went diving.
He wasn't. He was still alive, in the cabin where I left him.
That's true. And Laura was only in there
for a few seconds.
Sam's right.
God knows I don't like the woman,
but I can't lie.
Dan was still alive when Laura left the cabin.
I saw both of them with my own eyes.
And this is where the two barbers come in.
Who in that town would get their hair cut
by the bad barber?
The answer is, of course, the good barber.
'Cause he can't cut his own hair, can he?
Just as Laura couldn't commit murder on her own,
she needed to have help from a second party.
A second barber.
That was you, Nicky.
That's right. Laura and Nicky
have been working together from the start.
As this little toy soldier proves.
A toy soldier we found near the body
and yet didn't have any fingerprints on it.
So how did it get on the boat?
The reef wasn't clean when you first went there.
On day one, you did a trash collection.
Removing old bottles and other litter,
like a toy soldier
that a kid might have dropped overboard
from their boat,
which didn't have any fingerprints on it.
But then, after long enough in the sea,
fingerprints get eroded.
So this is my question to you, Jonathan.
After you cleared the reef,
how did you get the litter back to the boat?
In sample bags.
And why did Laura go into the cabin the very
last time she saw Dan?
-To get a sample bag. -A sample bag
she placed there earlier,
which contained a silenced pistol.
She then hid Dan's wallet and watch.
That way she could dispose of them later
to make it look like a robbery gone wrong.
Laura and Nicky then contrived to make an excuse
for Laura to go into the cabin just before the dive.
I think you left it in the cabin.
HUMPHREY: Which is when Laura retrieved her sample bag.
Found it!
Not realising there was a piece of litter still in it,
a toy soldier from the tidy-up the day before.
-Oh!
With Nicky watching from outside
without saying a word.
NICKY: Come on, Laura!
Let's go diving!
No, I don't understand.
Even if what you're saying is true,
Laura may have had time to kill Dan
but there's no way she could also have
trashed the cabin.
Ah, yes. But just as Dan Hagen was killed before
we thought possible,
the cabin was smashed up
after we thought possible.
After your dive, in fact.
When Nicky made sure it was her who discovered
the body,
while the rest of you were still getting out
of your dive kit.
I'll get him.
But why would Nicky help Laura?
They hate each other.
Laura told us she was working as a flight attendant
on the Saint-Marie-to-Heathrow route when she met Dan.
But if that was the case,
and we should have realised,
she could also have been on the same route
a few weeks earlier
when Nicky returned to the UK, having just been dumped
by Dan Hagen.
When you saw a woman. Hmm?
Travelling alone in first class.
Upset, perhaps. Vulnerable, for definite.
And you got talking.
'Cause you're not the sweet innocent
you pretend to be.
You are a cold-hearted manipulator, someone who
preys on the weak.
And while we found out that you were
kicked out of school
for having an affair with a teacher,
it took a phone call to your old school
to ask the one question that mattered.
The teacher you had an affair with
was a woman.
HUMPHREY: You and Laura became lovers.
Laura very much in charge.
I'm guessing it was her that got you
to agree to her plan,
that you'd give her all the inside information
on Dan
so she could seduce him.
What he liked, what he disliked,
what he found funny.
We have the same sense of humour,
the same interests.
And you made sure you were working
on Dan's flight
when you flew back to the UK.
And primed with Nicky's insight and knowledge,
you were able to dazzle, entrap him.
And then, all Nicky had to do was make sure she
got back her old job
on the next research mission to Saint-Marie.
Because, I mean, if you're looking
for two people
who would never be accomplices,
well, then, you'd be hard-pressed to find
anyone more unlikely
than the left-on-the-shelf ex-girlfriend
and the young beauty who replaced her.
SAM: But why?
Why would they do this?
Why would anyone want to kill a multi
As for proof, we've spoken to your flatmate,
who overheard a phone call you made while you were upset.
Only she, and we, presumed that this call was to your ex,
Dan Hagen.
But as a copy of your house's
phone bill proves,
the number you dialled that night wasn't Dan's,
it was Laura's.
And a phone call that lasted 47 minutes.
You were overheard professing your undying love to her
over and over.
-I'm so sorry. -Don't say a word.
J.P., Dwayne, take them away.
-Okay, so breaststroke is easiest.
Do you think we'll be okay?
Grew up on an island, how on earth did he
never learn to swim?
I've got no idea!
-Hold on. More water, Chief. -Yes.
-DWAYNE: Quick, water, water! -Yes, Dwayne.
Yes, yes, coming.
What did... Oh!
Erm, sorry.
Water, paraffin. Don't worry. I've got it now.
-Grab the bowl, man! -Yes, yes, sorry.
-So, Chief... -Yes.
Tell me something.
What exactly did the name Nancy remind you of?
How do you mean?
Well, it's just you said you had a neighbour
who used to babysit for you called Nancy.
Yes, but she wouldn't remind me of a boat.
Well, she was... ...well,
like an angel, really.
Golden hair, legs that used
to go on forever.
-Er... -It's called
transference, Chief.
You don't need a boat. You need a woman.
I do?
Yes, well, it's a thought, isn't it?
But how do I go about it, Dwayne?
I mean,
attracting women isn't really in my skillset.
What are you talking about?
You could have any woman on the island.
You're a catch!
Of course you are!
Geez.
Ah, Johnny Weissmuller.
How did it go, then?
Eh, pretty good.
I hope.
It's a start, anyway, you know?
You did great!
-HUMPHREY: Er,
paraffin, Florence.
It's paraffin prawns. It's a specialite de region.
-A toast, then. -Ah.
-To conquering your fears. -To conquering your fears.
To conquering your fears. Dwayne.
Come on, then.
These prawns aren't going to eat themselves, you know.
Let's eat.
So, J.P., doggy paddle or backstroke?
J.P.: Er...
God, I need this.
Ah! Someone get a doctor, now!
Why would Spinner's Rock be a reason to kill
Governor Bamber?
Dwayne, J.P., I want you to visit
this Spinner's Rock.
I reckon we'll find out exactly what it is
from up there.
Ti mal!
