HUMPHREY: This is fantastic, it's absolutely splendid.

-It's Fete Mouri.

Fete Mouri

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.

-CATHERINE: 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.

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

Am I talking to the spirit of Bethany Gilliam?

Make yourself known!

Bethany, is there something you wish to tell us?

Don't break the circle!

Just ask her the question!

-Urgh!

CATHERINE: Here we are.

-For you, Camille. -CAMILLE: Merci!

And for you, Humphrey. Wow! Now that is brilliant!

Uh, what is it?

Yes, Maman, what is it?

I've called it "The Humphrey".

Really

Wha... What's in it?

-Yeah! -Everything. In no

particular order.

Right, well... Now, that's my kind of drink.

Uh, 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?

What...

Oh, you mean this one!

Thanks, man, how's your new job?

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

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.

Honore Police Station.

CAMILLE: Look at this.

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.

-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.

-Mmm-hmm.

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.

Uh, thank you for waiting.

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

Starting with, uh, 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: 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, uh, seance?

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

Yeah, that's right.

ANDRE: Elias asked me to stay behind to

make the coffee.

DANIEL: And then we all went to the parlour.

I was the last in.

DANIEL: 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.

-DANIEL: 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.

-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!

No secret panels 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.

Okay. 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.

HUMPHREY: Okay, I'm going to try and come into

the room now.

Yeah.

I can hear you, you know.

Oh. Now I can see you.

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.

CAMILLE: 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.

Uh, 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.

Okay, 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

And I want to know everything there is to know about

our prime suspect.

-Mama Beth.

A 150

Our number one suspect is a ghost?

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

The question is "Why?"

-Coming!

Good morning, sir.

Good morning, Camille. Sorry.

-That's better.

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

-Because I have a surprise for you.

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.

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

Thank you.

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

Excellent! You won't regret it.

But first,

we've got a murder to solve.

There we go.

What's that?

HUMPHREY: That is the ghost of Mama Beth.

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.

-Mmm-hmm.

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.

Hmm.

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?

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

-believe that Mama Beth is real.

DWAYNE: 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.

-Yep.

That's harsh.

Looks like we have a motive at last.

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

That you're undermanned since you lost Sergeant Best.

Yes, but we're managing, sir.

Uh, 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, uh,

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.

I'm just one of the team now,

if you will have me.

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

Isn't it, sir?

I mean, team?

-Yeah! -Great!

Right.

Where do we start?

Uh, 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.

Uh, perhaps you and Officer Myers

could work together?

-Excellent! Come on, Camille!

Hey, Chief, but... Chief!

Bye!

What?

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.

Yeah, well, he's not here anymore, is he?

So who else is going to do it

-Thank you, Andre.

-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... I 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!

ANDRE: 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.

Twenty years.

He was a brilliant man.

Oh... 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.

CAMILLE: 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.

CATHERINE: Dwayne?

Are you all right?

I've just run 10 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

And a rum to take away the taste.

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

10 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!

Uh? Bye.

I didn't get her name. What the hell is this?

You asked for it.

Well, next time, ignore me.

Ah! Ooh!

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.

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 anymore.

Mmm, 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...

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!

CAMILLE: 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.

-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.

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

I know, I know.

But it's all right, they're just running around for

a bit, you can recover.

Aye? 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.

Yes.

Not England.

SELWYN: 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.

BOTH: 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.

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.

-The investigator was

still putting together a case.

I got him to e-mail it over.

That's William Lee.

HUMPHREY: Mm. CAMILLE: 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.

-Oh, yes. -Good work, Dwayne.

Er... Both of you.

Um, 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.

HUMPHREY: Oh.

CAMILLE: This must lead to the old cellar.

Where Daniel says he saw Mama Beth

all those years ago.

Mm-hm.

Not scared, are you?

Me?

Never.

Camille?

-Woo-ha-ha! -Argh!

Oh, my gosh!

Oh, oh!

Oh, sorry!

Yes, very funny!

I'm sorry!

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.

CAMILLE: Now that's interesting.

HUMPHREY: 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?

-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. So

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?

DWAYNE: 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.

-Yes.

-Mm-hm.

We should check his diary.

-But I was just going to... -Ah-ah.

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?

Oh, 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 10 years before telling each other how

they feel? It's ridiculous!

Because they're not French?

Inspector, we've got a lead.

-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.

-Okay, 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 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, he 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

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

-It's run by Mad Dog Mike

and he hates police.

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.

So we've got someone extorting $10,000

out of Elias.

But who was it

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.

Just how did the killer get up from the table

-and manage to knife a man in the back

-without the person on either side of the killer...

-Okay.

Sir. It's Andre Morgan at the distillery,

-he says he needs us. -Right.

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.

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.

HUMPHREY: 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.

Okay, 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.

What did he say?

He swore at me, then he threw a mug

of coffee at me.

Wh...

His mother and I go back a long way.

-Oh.

Oh, hold on, it's the Commissioner.

-SELWYN: Inspector,

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

You have

A locker key was cut five weeks ago by Lucy Thomson,

Elias's daughter.

Why do you want to search my room?

Well, because 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!

LUCY: 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?

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.

HUMPHREY: 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 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?

Hmm

So no, I never confronted him.

HUMPHREY: 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?

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.

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

DANIEL: 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.

If you would, please, Dwayne.

X marks the spot.

Stand back, Chief.

Thank you all for coming.

But why do you want us?

Uh, 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 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.

ZETA: 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.

-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.

HUMPHREY: 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.

CAMILLE: 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?

CAMILLE: 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.

HUMPHREY: 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.

CAMILLE: 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.

HUMPHREY: 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!

CAMILLE: And who would actually notice,

once Elias was dead,

if Andre entered through the door, or just seemed

to appear as it opened?

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.

Uh, 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 bit 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.

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.

CAMILLE: 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.

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.

-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!

DWAYNE: Mr Peters was found dead with

a gunshot wound to the chest.

Jake!

We're here to solve an impossible crime.

Mind if I tag along

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!
