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.

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!
