This is fantastic,
it's absolutely splendid.

What is it?

It's Fete Mouri.

Fete Mouri? What on earth is that?

It's the Voodoo festival
of the dead,

when we summon any spirits
still trapped on earth

and command them
to move on to the afterlife.

Excellent. Then why the cigars?

That's to honour Baron Leve.
He's in charge tonight.

He has a skull for a face,
wears a black top hat,

drinks hard liquor, smokes cigars

and spends all his time
chasing after women.

~ Oh, he sounds like my dad.
~ Camille!
~ Maman!

There's a storm brewing.

Good evening, everyone.

Thank you, Andre.

William, how are the barrels?

Two more weeks, sir,
then we can start bottling.

She's here!

Andre, coffee and liqueurs
when we're done.

~ Well done, Lucy, you found her.
~ Of course, Dad.

~ Zeta!
~ Mr Thomson.

Elias, please.
Tonight, you're a guest.

Daniel? My, but you've grown into
a fine young man.

You know why you're here?

~ I do.
~ This shadow over
the plantation ends tonight.

One way or another.

~ All right?
~ Of course.

THUNDER RUMBLES

William,
could you turn the lights off?

Sure.

Then I'd like everyone to take
the hand of the person to each side

and form a circle.

As long as we're holding hands,
whatever appears -

from whatever realm -
will do us no harm.

Spirits of the past, move among us.

Be guided by the light of this world
and visit upon us.

Do not be afeard, spirit.

I can feel a presence.

Bethany? Is that you?

Am I talking to the spirit
of Bethany Gilliam?

Make yourself known!

~ WIND HOWLS
~ What was that?

Bethany, is there something
you wish to tell us?

~ BELL RINGS
~ Don't break the circle!

Just ask her the question!

METALLIC WHOOSH
Urgh!

Daddy?

Aargh! Aaargh!

What is it?!

Aaaargh!

Here we are.

~ For you, Camille.
~ Merci!
~ And for you, Humphrey.

Wow! Now that is brilliant!
What is it?

Yes, Maman, what is it?

I've called it "The Humphrey".

~ Really? You named it after me?
What's in it?
~ Yeah!

Everything. In no particular order.

Right, well - now, that's my kind
of drink. Thank you, Catherine.

~ Er, bottoms up.
~ Yeah!

But Fidel, in five years,
I never did it. Not once!

I know you never noticed,
that's how good I was!

Eh?

Oh, you mean this one!

Thanks, man, how's your new job?
Uh-huh. Yeah.

~ PHONE RINGS
~ And all the family settled?

Wait up the man.

No, it's the office phone,
and you're not here to answer it.

I know. It's my turn now.

Hey. You keep safe, yeah?

We'll speak soon.

~ Hon...
~ PHONE CONTINUES RINGING

Honore Police Station.

I think it's amazing

how you embrace the whole
ghosts and ghouls thing.

~ All we have in the UK is Halloween.
~ And what happens at Halloween?

Well, now you mention it,
it's mainly just kids

roaming the streets demanding sweets
with menaces.

But when I was growing up,

my mum would let us stay up
to watch whatever scary film

was on the telly that night.

And that feeling of
sitting on the sofa,

wedged in between my brothers,
I'd feel so safe.

You felt safe watching
your scary film?

Yes, of course.
That's why you watch them.

~ I don't think I've ever seen one.
~ You're kidding me!

We've just had a call.

There's been a murder
at the Thomson distillery.

You all right, Dwayne?

It's been a while since
I did this on my own.

~ Without Fidel, you know?
~ Don't worry. You'll be fine.

So, cause of death?

It's the knife in his back, Chief.

And a visual inspection
of the body reveals...?

Well, judging by the angle
the knife entered his back,

the killer was almost certainly

standing above the victim
and striking down.

~ Boom!
~ Good.
And the murder weapon?

Looks old.

Ah, I think it came from here,
Chief.

Three knives were on display,
but one is missing.

You see?
We may have lost Fidel to St Lucia,

but we're still very much
a team to be reckoned with.

His name is Elias Thomson.

He owns the plantation
and the rum distillery here.

And it seems he was killed
in the middle of a seance.

~ A seance?
~ Mm-hm.

Well, yes, of course!
It's Fete Mouri, isn't it?

When you summon the dead.

But I mean, even so, I mean...
Well, you know, erm... wow!

Right, Dwayne.
See what you can get here.

Camille, let's go
and talk to the family.

Thank you for waiting.

We just need to get a sense
of what happened tonight.

Starting with, er... who you all are.

I'm Andre Morgan.
I run the house.

This is Daniel and this is Lucy -
Elias's children.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm William Lee. Mr Thomson's
foreman at the distillery.

Zeta Akande.
I used to be the children's nanny.

~ But I led the seance tonight.
~ Oh, really?

I've always had the gift.

And who attended this, er... seance?

It was all of us... apart from Andre.

Yeah, that's right.

Elias asked me to stay behind
to make the coffee.

And then we all went to the parlour.

I was the last in.

We sat at the table in candlelight
and we held hands.

The candle went out
and then the bell rang.

The bell on the side table?

The spirits use it
to communicate with us.

~ And it rang?
~ Yes.

So if you were all holding each
other's hands the whole time,

no-one could've got up
from the table to stab the victim,

is that what you're saying?

Maybe the killer was already
hiding in the room.

Not possible.
We were the only people in there.

How can you be sure?

It's a small room.
There's nowhere to hide.

The curtains were closed. Couldn't
anyone have been hiding behind them?

No. They were open when we came in.

It's an old house!
HE KNOCKS ON WALL

No secret panels?
Tunnels? Hideaways?

No.

So why exactly were you
holding a seance?

We were contacting the spirit

of a woman who worked here
back in the 1850s,

called Bethany Gilliam.

She was a parlour maid

who was having an affair
with the plantation manager.

Then, one night, at Fete Mouri,
they had an argument,

he pulled a knife and killed her.

Ever since, it's said that
her ghost haunts the estate.

The workers call her Mama Beth.

And people really do believe in her,
do they?

According to the legend,

you only see her
when you're not looking.

She appears as a reflection
in the mirror,

or out of the corner of your eye.

But seeing her always
brings you bad luck.

Then can I ask
why on earth contact her?

Elias hired me to summon her spirit

so I could ask her to move on
to the other side.

Right, do any of you know who might
have wanted to harm Mr Thomson?

~ We all know who killed him.
~ We do?

The circle wasn't broken.
There was no-one else in the room.

It was her! It was Mama Beth!

So the candle went out...

.. and then the bell rang...

You know ghosts don't exist.

Yes, of course.

Right, so if the witnesses
all say the room was empty

when they got in here,

then maybe the killer came in
after the seance started.

Only Andre Morgan
was outside the room.

OK. Well, let's see
if he could have got in unnoticed.

Hey! What are you doing?

I'm going to try and sneak in.

I'm ready.

OK, I'm going to try
and come into the room now.

Yeah.

DOOR HINGES SQUEAK

I can hear you, you know.

~ Now I can see you.
~ DOOR HINGES SQUEAK

Right, well, I think that proves

that no-one could come in
through that door

after the seance had started.

No-one came in.
The killer was sitting at the table.

Oh?

And the killer needed complete
darkness to commit the murder.

Which means he or she
must have been sitting here,

at the table, to blow the candle out.

And then they must have got up,

stabbed Elias in the back
before sitting down again.

A simple enough explanation,
except for one thing.

They were all holding hands.

We should go inside.

Ah, erm, er... Mr Thomson?

~ Can I ask you something?
~ Of course.

Only, when I asked about
the ghost earlier,

I noticed both Andre and your sister
look at you,

but you didn't say anything.

Was there a reason for that?

~ I've seen her.
~ Who?
~ Mama Beth.

I was 14 at the time and... I stole
the key to the old barrel store,

where the murder took place.

Heard all the stories, of course,

but I guess I just wanted
to see it for myself.

But when I went down there,

nothing could have prepared me
for what I saw.

It was her.

I know what you must think,

but I swear I saw Mama Beth
that night.

Look, I'd quite like
to be with my sister.

Yes, yes, of course, yes.

~ Thank you.
~ Thank you.

How interesting.

OK, Chief.

The scene's secured and the
paramedics have removed the body.

Good. Then tomorrow, I want you
to talk to the workers here.

Who was Elias Thomson?
Why did someone want him dead?

And I want to know everything there
is to know about our prime suspect.

~ And who is that?
~ Mama Beth.

A 150-year-old ghost?

Our number one suspect is a ghost?!

It seems that's what
they'd like us to believe.

The question is "Why?"

HORN HONKS
Coming!

~ Good morning, sir.
~ Good morning, Camille. Sorry.

~ Eh?
~ That's better.

Now, today's burning question -
what are you doing tonight?

~ Because I have a surprise for you.
~ Oh, you have?

Yes - I know how much
you like surprises.

~ Ah, erm...
~ No, you'll like this one,
I promise.

You've got jam on your jacket.

Hmm? Oh. So I have. Sorry.
Do you have a...?

Thank you.

Well, OK then. If it's a surprise.

Excellent! You won't regret it.

But first,
we've got a murder to solve.

HE SPEAKS IN FRENCH

THEY SPEAK IN FRENCH

There we go.

What's that?

That is the ghost of Mama Beth.

So, what have you got?

Well, Elias Thomson owned a food
distribution company back in the UK.

But once he'd made his fortune,
he got bored, he sold it,

came out here, met his wife
and bought the rum distillery.

Both kids were born on the island.

So where's his wife now?

She died of cancer
when Daniel was 14 and Lucy, 15.

Daniel went straight from school
into the family business.

He's now in charge of
the day-to-day running

and Lucy helps with sales.

And what about William Lee
and Andre Morgan?

William's worked on the estate
since he was 16,

he's now distillery foreman.

Andre's worked for the family
for decades,

he was very close to the victim,
more like friends.

Then wives, girlfriends, lovers?

Andre used to be married,
he is now separated.

And William lives on his own.

Oh, and as for Zeta Akande,
she was the children's nanny,

but when they were old enough,
she left.

Financial checks show she's missed
some loan repayments.

Motives?

None that I can see.

Me neither.

So of all the suspects we do have,
one wasn't in the room,

four were holding hands,
and one is a ghost.

Chief?

Ah, Dwayne!
So, tell me, what did you find out?

OK, so a good majority
of the workers at the distillery

~ believe that Mama Beth is real.
~ They do?

Some say they've seen her,
or they know someone who has.

And the thing is, the sightings
are all kind of similar.

With sightless eyes,
beckoning like this,

~ that's what they all said.
~ Brilliant!

Thank you, Chief.

Right, William Lee, the foreman,

doesn't even let people go near
the old barrel store

where Mama Beth was murdered.

He keeps it locked up.

He reckons the best way to handle
Mama Beth is to never disturb her.

I think that's why Elias agreed
to get Zeta in, you know.

All the workers seem to trust her.

One thing we didn't
get from the family

is that Elias came out
of retirement three weeks ago -

seems the distillery
was losing money.

The first thing he did
was to sack Daniel.

~ His son?
~ Yep.
~ That's harsh.

Looks like we have a motive at last.

~ Good morning, team.
~ Ah, good morning, sir.

~ Sir.
~ Commissioner.
~ How are you?

~ Worried.
~ Oh?

That you're undermanned
since you lost Sergeant Best.

Yes, but we're managing, sir.

~ Dwayne has stepped up
to the plate, as it were.
~ I'm sure he has,

but Elias Thomson was a prominent
member of the town council.

This investigation should have
a full team assigned to it.

Do you have anyone in mind, sir?

Yes, I do.

Me.

You?

~ Problem?
~ Oh, er, er... no!

Er...that is very generous, sir,
it's just too much to ask.

So, until I can find a more
permanent replacement

for Sergeant Best,

I want you to forget that
I am your Commissioner of Police.

THEY LAUGH AWKWARDLY

I'm just one of the team now -
if you will have me.

Oh, yes, of course.
It's, erm... it's great!

Isn't it, sir?

I mean, team?

~ Yeah!
~ Great!

Right. Where do we start?

Well, actually sir,
Sergeant Bordey and myself

were just off to re-interview
the family,

but I would like background checks
on all those people that
attended the seance.

Perhaps you and Officer Myers
could work together?

~ What?
~ Excellent! Come on, Camille!

~ Hey, Chief, but... Chief!
~ Bye!

You should be waiting.

Why? There's no-one to ask
permission from. Not now.

But Dad said he didn't want you
running things.

Well, he's not here any more, is he?
So who else is going to do it? You?

PHONE RINGS
Thank you, Andre.

One of our suppliers. Do you mind?

No, of course.

~ Good morning, Daniel.
~ Morning.

~ I understand that your father
came out of retirement?
~ That's right.

Because the plantation's been losing
money since you took over.

Our profits have maybe taken a dip.
So, yeah, Dad came back.

He thought we should spend our way
out of trouble, you know -

new buildings, new machinery.

That you seem to be cancelling.

I, er... wanted to stay traditional,

you know, low yield, high quality.
Lucy agreed with me.

Still, it must have been
humiliating for you -

having your dad come back, you know,
because of your failing.

And then to go so publicly
against your wishes.

It was.
But that was the thing about Dad.

He always had to have his own way.

Take the seance last night.

How do you mean?

Well, his plans here call for
knocking down the old barrel store,

you know, where I saw Mama Beth?

Now the workers,
they said they'd go on strike

before they ever dared touch it,

but Dad wouldn't take no for
an answer, so even though he thought

it was nonsense, he organised
the seance to exorcise Mama Beth.

So he didn't believe the stories?

No. No. He'd just laugh at anyone
who said she was real.

Like you?

But was it more or less humiliating
than your dad coming

out of retirement and sacking you?

I didn't kill him.

I used to patrol most of this area
alone, day and night -

~ just me and the wits
and the criminal fraternity.
~ Hmm.

That's all very interesting,
Commissioner,

but what exactly are we doing here?

Background checks,

because I know that that man
over there

is the caretaker of the spiritualist
church where Zeta Akande practises.

Yes, but why did you need me
to come along?

Jimmy!

I thought he'd do that.

After him, then!

Pssht!

Hey!

Stop! Police!

You'll find most of
Elias's papers in here.

Can you tell me a bit more
about Mr Thomson?

You seem to have worked for him
longer than anyone else.

20 years. He was a brilliant man.

Were you aware of his new
plans for the distillery?

~ Oh, yes.
~ Yes, I hear they were quite radical.

Daniel and Lucy are good kids.

But in this case,
I agreed with Elias.

His plans were the right thing
for all of us.

It's mainly documents... Oh...

.. and this.

Ah. Do you know what this opens?

No, I'm afraid I don't.

Maybe it's from a cashbox
or a storeroom?

~ No, I don't think so, but
we could check the house.
~ Good.

Because if Elias kept this
in his safe, it has to be important.

DWAYNE PANTS HEAVILY

Dwayne?

Are you all right?

I've just run ten miles.

Are you trying to keep fit?

No, I was chasing an informant.

Oh. Did you catch him?

Eventually.

I think he was Usain Bolt's
long-lost cousin, and cheeky, too -

he stopped twice to wait for me,
you know!

Can I get you something?

Water.

Water? Are you sure?

And a rum to take away the taste.

HE GROANS

~ Are you all right?
~ Huh?

Er, yeah, I'm fine -
just trying to catch my breath.

You see, I was chasing
a... a really dangerous criminal.

Hmm, I guessed it must be
something like that.

Huh?

~ The uniform is a
bit of a giveaway.
~ Oh!

~ So... did you catch him?
~ Huh?

The dangerous criminal.

Oh, yeah, don't worry, you're safe!
He's all locked up now.

You're very brave,
going after him alone.

Well, between you and me,
I was with the Commissioner,

so I had no choice - I doubt
if he could even run ten yards.

And that's not all! The man's got
no common sense, you know.

He belongs behind a desk,
not out here in the real world.

~ No, sir! Man,
he wouldn't last five minutes.
~ Hmm.

I hope you manage
to get your breath back.

So do I!

~ See you!
~ Bye.

~ Damn!
~ What?

I didn't get her name.

What the hell is this?

~ Water!
~ Water?
~ You asked for it.

Well, next time, ignore me.

Agh! Oooh!

There was clearly no love lost
between Daniel and his father,

but let's face it,
he wouldn't be the first son

humiliated by an overbearing father
to resort to murder.

I believe he hated
the way his father treated him,

but enough to kill because of it?

Yet he was the one who wanted us
to believe in the story

of Mama Beth,
even insisting that he saw her.

I thought you believed him?

No - as much as the latent schoolboy
in me wish it were true,

~ our murderer is very human.
~ Yeah.

Whatever Daniel saw
in that barrel store,

~ it most certainly was not a ghost.
~ Good to hear.

Ah, Dwayne, did you manage to catch
the Commissioner's informant?

Eventually, and he told me that Zeta
was a very good nanny

to Lucy and Daniel -
they adored her.

But then one day, Elias sacked her
and refused to give her a reference.

~ Really? Why?
~ He didn't know, but
he said it's the reason

why she ended up becoming
a freelance palm reader.

She couldn't get any work as a nanny
any more.

Erm... interesting.
Good work, Dwayne.

Er, where's the Commissioner?

He had an official dinner
he couldn't get out of.

It's late - let's wrap up for the day
but let's keep thinking.

We have five people sat at a table
in an otherwise empty room.

The killer blows the candle out -
phew! -

and when the lights come back on,

Elias Thomson has a knife in his back
and all the witnesses swore

that they were holding each other's
hands the whole time.

Then just how was it done?!

DEEP VOICE: And behold...

.. Godzilla, destroyer of cities!
Rrragh!

Who are you talking to?

Ow! Oh, hi! No-one, erm...

~ Er, ow! Erm, well, Harry,
if you must know.
~ Right.

~ I'm here for my surprise.
~ Yes, of course, and tonight,

I promise you,
you are going to love it,

because tonight, Camille Bordey,

~ you are going to see
your first ever horror film!
~ Yeah!

Yes, I saw there was
an old Boris Karloff film

on the telly tonight,
so you stay there...

.. and I'll get popcorn!

Interestingly enough,

~ this was just after Karloff had
made his first Frankenstein.
~ Shh!

Sorry, yes, of course. Sorry.

~ Even though it's quite obviously
a rip-off of The Mummy.
~ Please!

No. You're right. Not another peep.

Just keep your eyes
on that coffin lid there.

It's coming...

.. one of the biggest
scares in horror history.

Just you wait.

Here it comes.

It's coming.

This is it.

Oh, hold on.

Oh, it's coming.

Oh, no, sorry,
I've realised it's not this bit.

~ ROARING FROM TV
~ Argh!

All right, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
I know, I know, I know.

It's all right, they're just running
around for a bit, you can recover.

Here we go!

So what did you think?

It was different.

Oh, erm... well, I know.
Next time, you can choose.

Next time?

Absolutely. Maybe we could get
some sort of a film club going.

Well, my choice next time.

~ Great.
~ Good night, sir.
~ Night-night, Camille.

HE LAUGHS NERVOUSLY
Yes.

Not England.

So...

If the people in the room
were all holding hands

and no-one could have come into the
room once the door had been closed,

there must have been
a secret passage.

We checked.

Then someone was under the table.

~ It's too small.
~ Too small.

I was just, erm... walking the team
through the case.

You might as well carry on
now you're here.

Yes, of course, sir.

Perfect timing!

So what have I missed?

Well, Chief, I was going through
the victim's phone,

when I noticed a number
he kept on calling.

So I rang it and found myself
talking to a private investigator.

Elias hired him

because he suspected one of his
workers was stealing from him.

~ And were they?
~ The investigator was
still putting together a case.

I got him to e-mail it over.

That's William Lee.

~ Mm.
~ What's he doing?

All these photos were taken over by
the old barrel store, weren't they?

Which is where he's always telling
his workers they can't go near,

because of the ghost.

SHE LAUGHS
Shall we go and check it out?

~ Oh, yes.
~ Good work, Dwayne. Er... both of you.

Perhaps you and the Commissioner
could start going through

William Lee's background,
and keep going through

Elias Thomson's personal effects.

I want to know what this key opens.

~ Come on, Camille.
~ Yes, Chief.

Sarge.

Commissioner.

What are we looking for?

If William's been stealing,

I want to find some evidence
before we confront him.

HE SIGHS

Oh.

This must lead to the old cellar.

~ Where Daniel says he saw Mama
Beth all those years ago.
~ Mm-hm.

SHE EXHALES

Not scared, are you?

Me?

Never.

SHE BREATHES HEAVILY

SHE GASPS

Camille?

~ Woo-ha-ha!
~ Aargh!

~ SHE LAUGHS
~ Oh!

Oh, oh!

~ Oh, sorry!
~ SHE LAUGHS

Yes, very funny(!)

LAUGHING: I'm sorry!

HE GROANS

Can you imagine what it was like
for Daniel?

A 14-year-old kid,
coming down here on his own.

Just goes to show you how the mind
plays tricks on you, doesn't it?

Yeah.

HE GRUNTS

Now that's interesting.

What is it?

Footprints.

Ah!

Bootleg rum?

You want to talk to me?

Yes, if you wouldn't mind.

I understand you're one of
the people who's seen Mama Beth.

~ And it's always up by the
old barrel store, isn't it?
~ Are you mocking me?

No, Mr Lee.

It's you who's mocking us,
with your stories of ghosts.

Because that's all they are.

Stories to stop others
from going in there.

We found your secret stash of rum.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Elias had a private investigator
watching you.

This is the proof you've been
stealing from Elias Thomson

and now Elias Thomson is dead.

This only proves
I've been near the building.

A building that's been abandoned.
What were you doing there?

I'm foreman here. It's my job
to check all the buildings.

So tell me, did you happen to
notice the 15 boxes of rum

the last time you were
checking the store?

I don't know what you're
talking about.

~ And you expect us to believe that?
~ I don't care what you believe.

You say I've been stealing.

I got two words for you.

Prove it.

Have we made any progress?

Well, Commissioner,

WE have been going through
Elias's bank statements.

You know,
like the chief asked us to.

And I've just seen that,
on the 23rd of last month,

Elias withdrew 10,000 in cash
from his personal account.

And he never takes out
those sums of money.

Not that I can work out why, though.

~ The 23rd, you say?
~ Yes.

~ Of last month?
~ Mm-hm.

~ We should check his diary.
~ But I was just going to...
~ Ah-ah.

There. One entry.

19 Rue Cassini.

Good job I found it.

~ Thank you.
~ You're welcome.

I can't help thinking -
if William is guilty of murder,

I don't think he'd be
so aggressive to us.

Eh? Hey! I was talking!

I'm sorry, there's usually
a gentleman selling DVDs here.

~ Here we go...
~ Oh, you mean for our film club?

Yes absolutely! The film you
want could well be right here.

I don't think so.

Wait, they've got When Harry
Met Sally - that's a good film.

You like
Quand Harry Rencontre Sally?

Yes, of course. Billy Crystal.
Meg Ryan. What's not to like?

Fine, we'll watch that.
It's a good film, I agree.

But why do they wait ten years

before telling each other how
they feel? It's ridiculous!

Because they're not French?

Inspector, we've got a lead.

Oh, you do?

It's an address in town.
19 Rue Cassini.

Don't worry,
I'll explain on the way.

Hang on.

The street numbers only go up to 17.

Bonjour.

That way.

OK, Chief, there has never
been a number 19 Rue Cassini.

Hang on.

What if it's not a house number?
What if it's something else?

~ Like?
~ like a beach locker.

16, 17, 18, 19.

And I bet you this is what
the key in Elias's safe opens.

It's empty.

Wait.

Why would someone like Elias Thomson

need a large amount of cash
in the first place?

What if he was being blackmailed?

You know, he goes to the bank, takes
out a lot of cash and leaves it here.

For the blackmailer
to collect later.

Which means there has to be two keys.

Hang on. Hang on.
How do you work that out?

Because if this key
was in Elias's safe,

then how would the blackmailer get
the cash out after he'd left?

He had a copy!

Which means this one must be
the copy.

The blackmailer has the original.

So if you want to know who got
the money, we just need to find out

who got the key copied
before they gave it to Elias.

Dwayne, how many key-cutting
shops are there on the island?

Only one. But I wouldn't go
there if I was you, Chief.

Why not?

It's run by Mad Dog Mike
and he hates police.

~ Leave him to us.
~ What?

Oh, no!

Right, let me try on my own first.

Please, Commissioner.

I've got less pips.

Just give me two minutes.

If I don't get anywhere,
then you can try.

Two minutes.

METAL GRINDING

So we've got someone
extorting 10,000 out of Elias.

But who was it? And why?

Not that any of that matters, though,
because whoever it was,

we're still no nearer
to understanding

how they managed to kill Elias.

Just how did the...? Oh, yes...

How did the killer get up
from the table

and manage to knife
a man in the back...
PHONE RINGS.

~ .. without the person on
either side of the killer...
~ Oui?

~ .. noticing he'd let
go of their hands?
~ OK.

Sir. It's Andre Morgan at the
distillery, he says he needs us.

Right.

THEY ARGUE

Do you not care about how we feel?

She needs to be released...

She just turned up. She's trying
to get into the old barrel store.

She said Mama Beth came to her
in a dream last night.

LOUD ARGUING

Madam! Madam, please! Calm down.

Come with me.

So tell me, Zeta,
all those years ago,

why did Elias fire you
without a reference?

I think he was threatened by me.

The children really loved me.

He didn't like that.

~ Must have made you angry.
~ Very.

This is what I don't get -

if you and he parted
on such bad terms,

then why did he hire you
after all this time?

If he wanted to convince people
round here that Mama Beth had gone,

he needed me.

They respect my gift.

Then why did you accept?

I'm sure you've looked into
my finances.

I'm not in a position
to turn any work down.

OK, Zeta, here's our problem.

A man you admit wronged you in
the past asks you to lead a seance

after all this time and,
by some extraordinary coincidence,

that's the very same day he dies.

He wronged me in the past.

If ever I wished Elias dead,
it was then.

METAL GRINDING

What did he say?

He swore at me

then he threw a mug of coffee at me.

Wh...

SHE SHOUTS

His mother and I go back a long way.

PHONE RINGS

Oh, hold on, it's the Commissioner.

Hello?

'Inspector, I think we've found
who got the key cut.'

You have? Good! Who is it?

A locker key was cut five weeks ago
by Lucy Thomson, Elias's daughter.

Why do you want to search my room?

We've got a witness who says it was
you that copied the key that opened
the locker on Rue Cassini.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

That key.

Ah!

~ Camille, arrest her.
~ All right!

It was a few months ago.

I was looking for some documents in
Dad's study and I found an envelope.

It was an old envelope full
of letters... from a woman.

A mistress?

While Mum was still alive.

You confronted him?

~ SHE LAUGHS
~ There'd have been no point.

He'd have just lied and
said the letters were fake

or they weren't reciprocated.

I wanted to know for sure.

So you blackmailed him?

It was the only way to know
if it was true or not.

If he paid up, it was true.

That's rather devious.

It's like Dad used to say.

"Always win.

"And if you can't win, cheat."

It wasn't ever about the money.

But if your dad's handed
over the cash,

how come you've still got
the letters?

No need to keep my part
of the bargain.

I already had what I wanted -

the truth.

Who was this woman, Joanna,
who Elias was having his affair with?

It was Andre's wife.

Joanna Morgan.

You mean your father had an affair
with his best friend's wife?

Dad's relied on Andre
all these years,

taking his advice.

They were thick as thieves.

And all along, Dad knew
he had this over his friend

and Andre had no idea.

You sure about that?

Dad wouldn't have paid so much
to get those letters back otherwise.

You know what this means, don't you?

Maybe Andre only found out
recently about the affair.

Yes, in which case, he would have
a sudden and compelling reason

to want Elias dead.

Not that Andre was actually in
the room when Elias was killed.

But one thing at a time, Camille.
One thing at a time.

Ah, Andre, can we have a word?

Of course.

Starting with, can you tell us
a bit about your wife?

I'm sorry?

You're separated, we understand?

But why are you asking me this now?

You know, don't you?

About my wife and Elias.

It was 15 years ago.

Joanna had an affair with Elias.

It only lasted a few months.

She'd had affairs before
and I'd always tried to forgive her.

But this time, it was different.

It was Elias.

What happened?

I told her we were finished.

The next day, she packed
her bags and left the island.

Where did she go?

I couldn't care less.

I haven't seen her
or heard from her since.

You never confronted Elias about it?

I wanted to.

But I also know what kind of woman
she is.

And I knew, in my heart,
she used him just like she used me.

So why should I lose
everything because of her?

Hm? My job, my home?

So no, I never confronted him.

The million-dollar question, then.

Do we believe Andre?

I don't know, but I believed him

when he said he knew about
the affair at the time.

And remember, he was outside
the room when Elias was killed.

So he's not the guy
who blew out the candle.

So, once again, we find ourselves

looking at the four people
sat at the table -

Daniel Thomson, Lucy Thomson,

Zeta Akande

and finally, William Lee.

But do any of them have a strong
enough motive to actually kill?

You know, I'm starting to think
maybe Mama Beth did it, after all.

Although, seeing as she's a ghost,

she wouldn't have to blow out
the candle first, would she?
HE CHUCKLES

Joke. Sorry.

Maybe the candle was blown out
by someone else, Inspector.

Yes.

Leaving Mama Beth
clear to commit murder.

Say that again.

What if the candle was blown out
by someone else?

Yes.

But what would that mean?

No!

Wait!

But... Hang on...
But, yes, of course!

In for a penny, in for a pound...
You...

I was holding Lucy's and Zeta's hand
the whole time it was dark.

I know I was holding William
and Dad's hands.

I was holding Zeta and Dad's hands.

Come on, come on, come on!
That's the million dollar question!

Why?

The candle...

Candle...

And if you can't win, cheat.

I swear I saw Mama Beth that night.

Yes! "Antigonish!"

~ Bless you.
~ No, no - you remember
the old poem, "Antigonish"?

~ No!
~ Don't worry, I'll explain.

Or at least I'll try to explain,
if my theory is correct.

Camille, get everyone at the house.
Dwayne, follow me.

And bring a big hammer!

CLINKING

CLINKING

HOLLOW THUD

If you would, please, Dwayne.

X marks the spot.

Stand back, Chief.

SPLUTTERING

HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

Thank you all for coming.

But why do you want us?

Because I'm going to tell you
who killed your father.

You see, the key to this case

was the fact that the murder had to
be committed by someone in that room.

So let's consider the four people
who were sitting with Elias

when he was killed.

Because, with your father dead,
you, Daniel,

finally get to run this place
how you want to.

As for you, William,

can we believe anything you say,
now we know you're a thief?

And Lucy.

You were already blackmailing
your own father,

but are you capable of murder?

And Zeta -
Elias ended your career as a nanny.

But that was in the past!

Yes, it was, and I'm sure that your
gift will already have told you this,

but, er... we have eliminated you
from our enquiries.

You didn't murder Elias Thomson.

Which means it must...

CLATTERING

Which means it must have been one of
you three who blew the candle out.

And then committed murder
in the darkness,

before sitting back down again.

All without the person
on either side of you

knowing you'd ever got up
and come back.

But that's impossible, isn't it?

The first question we need to answer,
the question that gives us

our first clue to the identity
of our murderer, has to be...

Who hated him most?

Yes.

But also... who blew out the candle?

~ The killer.
~ It wasn't the killer...

Sir.

See, I believe that our murderer
had an accomplice.

Someone we'd never even looked at.

The victim.

It was Elias himself
who blew out the candle.

While you were all looking at Zeta,
Elias seized his moment.

Make yourself known.

But why would he do that?

Have you ever heard of "Antigonish"?

"Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there.

"He wasn't there again today.
I wish, I wish he'd go away."

No?

And what has that got to do
with this?

Because Elias was killed by the man
who wasn't there...

You see the killer was...

Andre Morgan.

What?

But Andre wasn't even in the room.

Yes, I know.
And that's how clever he was.

And there was no other way into
the room, either. Or so we thought.

Not possible.
We were the only people in there.

The window was locked
from the inside

and there was no way through
the door without being heard.

Until you understand that Andre
and Elias weren't just good friends.

You were in on this together.

Dad's relied on Andre
all these years.

Taking his advice.
They were thick as thieves.

Whose idea was it?

It doesn't much matter.

You see, the question remains -
why would a man organise a seance

to summon up a ghost
he didn't believe in?

It wasn't about him.
It was about his workers.

He wanted to tell them
that Mama Beth had moved on,

so they'd agree to tear down
the old barrel store.

Yes, but Elias was devious.

So how would a devious man make it
look like Mama Beth had moved on?

You... you'd hide someone in the room
and get them to ring the bell.

Exactly! Exactly!

You convinced Elias that you

and he could play a trick on the
others that night, didn't you?

And in the process, you thought you
were carrying out the perfect murder!

After all, who'd suspect
that the killer's accomplice

was the victim himself?

So it was Elias who made sure
he had a brief chat with Zeta

when she arrived,
which gave you just long enough

to get around and into the room -

making sure you locked the window
from the inside.

And even though the opened curtain
would barely hide you,

only Elias himself would have seen
you in those first few seconds

and he wasn't telling.

So, when Elias blew the candle out,
he expected Andre to slip out

in the darkness and just ring
the bell, to make it look like

Mama Beth was telling the room
she was happy to move on

to the other side.

But you had a different plan
altogether, didn't you?

Because the only person who'd be
moving to the other side that night

would be Elias!

And who would actually notice,
once Elias was dead, if Andre

entered through the door - or just
seemed to appear as it opened?

SCREAMING

But why would I kill him?
He was my friend!

A friend who once had
an affair with your wife.

But, but I knew about all
that years ago!

Yes, you did, so why kill him now?

Perhaps it's easier
if... if I show you.

Please, come... come with me.

Please. Come through.

You know, it occurred to me

that we only ever had Andre's word

that his wife left him
all those years ago.

But she did.

After her affair with Elias,
she left the island.

But how could she, Andre?
She was dead by then.

And that's because you murdered her,
didn't you?

You see, we checked with immigration
on the way over

and they don't have any record
of her leaving the island

the year she left you.

Then they must be mistaken.

It, it was a long time ago...

You have to believe me!
I didn't kill her!

All this is just conjecture -
you can't prove anything.

Prove it?

I can do a little better than that,
Andre.

Daniel...

You're 29 years old, aren't you?

And you saw the ghost of Mama Beth
in this very room

when you were 14, right?

That's right.

Exactly 15 years ago -
which, by an amazing coincidence,

is the exact same number of years ago
that Joanna apparently left Andre.

For 15 years, Daniel,

you've been saying that you saw
the ghost of Mama Beth.

But I don't think you saw a ghost.

I think what you actually saw

was the body of Joanna Morgan,

waiting to be hidden by her killer.

GASPS

It was the body of Andre's wife...

.. the adulterous wife
he'd just killed

when he found out that she was
having an affair with his boss,

and then he hid her body
in the one place

he reckoned that no-one
would ever think to look.

The cellar of a haunted building
no-one ever went into.

All went well for you

until Elias came up with his plans
to modernise the plantation.

His plans here call for knocking
down the old barrel store,
where I saw Mama Beth.

So you knew
if they pulled down this building,

well, her body would be discovered.

But if you could kill Elias first,
Daniel and Lucy would take over

and we all know they'd never
demolish this place.

Your wife's murder could
stay secret.

Which is the real reason why you
stayed here working for Elias,

even after the affair.

You had to stay here
to guard your secret.

The last 15 years must have
been absolute hell for you.

Dwayne?

Move!

So! Congratulations, all.
We make quite a team!

Yes, we do, sir.

Much as I hate to disappoint you,
it seems it must be short-lived.

Your replacement for Sergeant Best
has arrived.

At last. Where is he?

Everyone, I'd like you to meet
Sergeant Florence Cassell.

Hello.

You!

You know each other?

We met very briefly.
He spoke very highly of you, sir.

Hello. I'm DI Goodman, this is
Detective Sergeant Camille Bordey.

I've heard such good things
about you both.

Thank you.

And I've heard a lot about you, too,
Officer Myers.

~ Have you?
~ Oh, yes.

Anyway. Sergeant...
welcome to the team.

Thank you, sir.
I can't wait to get started.

Thank you.

So... our film club...

I was thinking...

I found an old film projector.
Our second instalment...

No, erm... I'd love to,
but I can't tonight, I'm sorry.

~ I have a date.
~ Oh, oh, right. Great.

Yes, erm, good.

Who is he?

Just an old school friend.

Oh. I see...

I need to make more of an effort,
don't I? Get out there.

Yes, yes, of course.
Ye, no, no, you go out.

Have a great time.

Much better than watching some
boring old film with your boss.

Thank you.

How do I look?

Beautiful.

Now you are a very kind man.

Erm... see you tomorrow.

Yes, erm,
and, er... have a great time.

And don't worry about the film.

No, honestly.

Oh, well, old chap, just means
there's more popcorn for us.

Yes, you're right.

I wouldn't eat that all at once,
you might actually explode.

Right, here we go.
When Harry Met Sally.

Entirely in French.

Allez!

Mr Peters was found dead
with a gunshot wound to the chest.

GUNSHOT

Jake!

We're here to solve
an impossible crime.

Mind if I tag along?
Get a feel for the scene?

As long as you don't call it
"the scene"!

~ Cam!
~ Hey!

You have to kiss a lot of frogs
before you find your prince.

Oh. So you did kiss him, then?

Oh, yeah!

Hold up...
He's not waving now, though!
