00:00This is the law. Chapter one. The law. The law for the good. The law for the ugly.
00:17Detective Inspector Poole, I take it you're here for me.
00:21Very good. What gave us a ring?
00:24Well, unless you're on some weird stag do.
00:28Vincent Carter.
00:30This is the prisoner Leon Hamilton. He is officially now in your custody.
00:37But I've been given orders to escort you to Saint Marie.
00:40Thank you Vincent.
00:41Mr. Hamilton, you understand that on arrival we will take you directly to Saint Marie Jail where you'll serve the remainder of the sentence.
00:52Pardon.
00:53Ten minutes.
00:54Eight more minutes.
00:55Eight more minutes.
00:56Eight more minutes.
01:00After you.
01:09So, you've been to Saint Marie before?
01:11Not that you'll actually see much of it from inside the prison, of course. Perhaps when you get out.
01:17I suppose I ought to make the best of the view while I still can.
01:20Good book!
01:21Not really.
01:22I think Agatha Christie's my favourite. Murder on the Orient Express.
01:23Now, that was a good book.
01:24Unlike this, where the murder victim died actually clutching a photograph of his killer.
01:30From what I've read so far, the only way this case could have been any easier is if the murder had had
01:31Yes, I did it tattooed on his forehead tattooed on his forehead.
01:36Then you wouldn't have a chance to call him out.
01:37That's right.
01:38Wow!
01:39Not really.
01:40I think Agatha Christie's my favourite. Murder on the Orient Express.
01:44Who was a good book?
01:45Unlike this, where the murder victim died actually clutching a photograph of his killer.
01:51From what I've read so far, the only way this case could have been any easier is if the murderer had had
01:57yes i did it tattooed on his forehead then he wouldn't need a murder detective at all
02:02a trained chimp would suffice inspector bubbles of the yard got a ring to it i do love a good murder
02:20it's always a bit rough when we leave the harbor just until we get around the point i'm sorry
02:26but do you think i could stretch my legs for a bit get some fresh air do you have to
02:31i really don't feel too good very well
02:37everything okay wants to stretch his legs for a bit
02:48you think you'll be sick a warning would be appreciated if you do
02:51just so that i can take wind direction into account take a phase of action
02:58yeah i can't say i blame you excuse me
03:04never like waves
03:05not since a family holiday to the isle of wight when i was nine that was a ferry
03:12the ss vomit i think it was called
03:14oh there we go sorry probably not helping is it all this stuff
03:23oh
03:34oh
04:06One, two. This is control. Body undone. Confirmed. Over.
04:13Confirmed. Over.
04:15Roger, one, two.
04:16What happened?
04:17Leon Hamilton, the prisoner. I'm afraid we lost him.
04:21He got away?
04:22No. Lost him as in, you know, dead.
04:26What was it? A heart attack?
04:28When he was still handcuffed to you? That's terrible.
04:30No, it wasn't a heart attack. It was more...
04:33Murdered. Stabbed, to be precise.
04:37Wait, wait. Someone murdered him when he was still handcuffed to you?
04:40I want a full passenger list and do background checks.
04:43See if you can find any link with the deceased. Don't forget the ferry crew.
04:45You didn't see who it was.
04:47I looked away for one second.
04:58What?
04:59Nothing.
04:59You think it's amusing?
05:00No.
05:00Have you called the commissioner yet?
05:07No. Why?
05:08I thought he asked you to collect the prisoner in person to ensure the transfer went smoothly.
05:13Yeah.
05:14Well, he didn't, did it go smoothly?
05:17No.
05:19Do you want me to come with you?
05:20I'm not a child!
05:21Okay.
05:24Have you any idea how much paperwork this would generate?
05:29What on earth were you doing?
05:31How come someone murdered a person standing next to you and you not even notice?
05:36I mean, it should be funny.
05:37It sounds funny.
05:39They're laughing at government house.
05:41Laughing when they see me.
05:43But I'm not laughing.
05:45Where were you?
05:47The sea was rough around the point.
05:48It happened so fast.
05:49I've spoken to your superiors.
05:52You will stay on the island until I release you.
05:55Sir.
05:56It isn't a request.
05:58They're arranging some accommodation for you and I want to report on my desk by the first thing in the morning.
06:03Sir.
06:04Now, get out of my sight!
06:09It wasn't his fault, sir. The prisoner was in my custody.
06:13I'd say that's hardly something to be proud of, Inspector.
06:16I could understand if he was secretly poisoned.
06:21In fact, secretly anything.
06:23I could even forgive a gunshot from another boat or a jet ski or a helicopter.
06:29But no.
06:30A knife was plunged into his back while you were standing next to him.
06:35Joined at the wrists!
06:37Sir?
06:45Sir?
06:45Sir?
06:46Sir?
06:52Are you okay?
06:55The commissioner and I had a frank exchange of views.
06:59And it was decided I hadn't exactly covered myself in glory as far as the prisoner's transfer was concerned.
07:07I wholeheartedly agreed with him and suggested I be shipped back to London in disgrace.
07:14He refused.
07:15It was worth a try.
07:16So, as I'm still stuck here, I intend to find the person who murdered Leon Hamilton.
07:26It caused me no little embarrassment if it's the last thing I'd ever do.
07:32In fact, to coin a phrase, this time it's personal.
07:37Where is the bin?
07:38There is never a bin!
07:40I spoke to the coroner.
07:45He'll do the autopsy later today, but it looks like a single knife wound and to point under the shoulder blade.
07:50Then it must have pierced the heart in order for death to be instantaneous.
07:57And you think it was instantaneous?
08:00I may have missed the actual blow, Camille, but I think I'd have noticed if he'd started screaming and clutching at his back.
08:05Sorry.
08:06Sorry.
08:10Right. What about the passengers?
08:16We've got a witness statement, but it will take a while to cross-check them.
08:21Right, you go on to that.
08:22Fidel, I want Leon Hamilton's file sent over.
08:24I want to know details of his circle.
08:27Business associates, lovers, jealous siblings, anyone who may have had a reason to kill him.
08:32I also want the autopsy report and any forensics on the murder weapon on my desk the second they're done.
08:37Yes, sir.
08:37So where do we start?
08:40Well, it means an opportunity, a self-evidence, so the key has to be motive.
08:45Who wanted Leon Hamilton dead?
08:47Who wanted Leon Hamilton dead?
08:49He's dead.
09:05And you, only 50 grand.
09:10There were 180 passengers. We can maybe discount 50 of those.
09:14Why?
09:14They have witness statements placing them either in the inside section or in a group.
09:18That still leaves 130 suspects.
09:21And none of them, so anything?
09:22Nothing.
09:24The ferry captain also said you were only about a mile away from the coast when the victim was found dead.
09:28Meaning someone could have left the ferry and swam to shore after the murder.
09:31So we can't even be sure that the killer was still on the ferry when you got to St. Marie?
09:34If you're looking at potential suspects, I think I can add some names.
09:37How many?
09:38Oh, it's about 900.
09:44Well, it's hardly my idea of a luxury resort.
09:47A tad underdeveloped, you might say.
09:50What actually happened?
09:52About two years ago, hundreds of people on the island invested in Paradise Beach.
09:55When it went under, they all lost their money.
09:59It was worse than that.
10:00Small businesses put their money in hoping to get the catering and cleaning contracts.
10:04Other people put their pension funds in.
10:07It destroyed a lot of lives.
10:09That's terrible.
10:10The construction company was based in Guadeloupe.
10:13Liam Hamilton was charged with embezzlement and false accounting.
10:15Which explains why the commissioner wanted him to come and finish his sentence on St. Marie.
10:20So that justice could be seen to be done.
10:22Yeah.
10:23The commissioner's name is on here too.
10:25So he knew Liam Hamilton?
10:27I doubt it.
10:29But officially, if the commissioner lost money, does that make him a suspect?
10:34I imagine it does.
10:36Who wants to be the first to interview him?
10:40No?
10:41Right, well, let's cross him off for now, shall we?
10:43So we've got a man murdered in broad daylight while handcuffed to a police officer.
10:49Just over a thousand suspects, and it's a hundred degrees.
10:54Marvellous.
11:06So, on.
11:06It says Liam Hamilton was a keen sailor, had his own yacht.
11:14Is that important?
11:16It was a bit rough as we left the harbour, and he complained of feeling sick.
11:20Why would he feel seasick if he was an experienced sailor?
11:25Did he actually say he was seasick?
11:26No.
11:29Then it could have been something else.
11:31I suppose so.
11:33But I'll tell them I want a toxicology report on the victim, just to be on the safe side.
11:37Yes, sir.
11:37I have a woman here who said she spoke to the officer on the ferry.
11:41They talked about the book he was reading?
11:43Yep, that was before we went outside.
11:46Um, he said she'd love the good murder.
11:50Susie Park?
11:52On a way to visit grandparents in St. Marie.
11:55Check to see if her grandparents are on the investors' list.
11:59In fact, we should check everyone on the passengers' list against the investors' list.
12:03OK, I know this guy.
12:06I know a police station.
12:06Look, Samuel King.
12:08Yes.
12:09He's bad news.
12:10Violent?
12:11Very.
12:12Put him on the eight pile.
12:15Leon Hamilton's wife is flying in from Guadeloupe tomorrow morning to formally identify the body.
12:20OK, you better go and meet her.
12:21See if you can get her story while you're at it.
12:23OK.
12:25It's late.
12:26We should call it a date.
12:33Oh, well, how was your day?
12:49Not bad, eh?
12:51Although I'm assuming no one actually died, which means I am most certainly heavy B.
13:03OK, thank you, sir. We have your details.
13:15That's the third one this week.
13:17What?
13:18An old beggar woman.
13:19She stops tourists by asking them for money.
13:22When they take out their wallet or purse, she snatches it and runs.
13:25Morning, team.
13:26Morning, sir.
13:27Chief?
13:27Where were you last night?
13:29Ah, yes, sorry. I went straight home.
13:31Thought I'd finish these.
13:32And?
13:34Hopeless.
13:35The ferry was bound for Saint-Marie, so virtually everybody on it knew someone who'd lost money on the Paradise Beach complex.
13:42The autopsy and toxicology reports are done, but the email is down.
13:46They're phoning down three in ten minutes.
13:47OK.
13:48Dwayne Fidel, I want you to start rounding up everyone on our A-list.
13:50Let's start eliminating who we can.
13:52Yes, chief.
13:53Let's find out if there are any bigger investors in Paradise Beach.
13:57Anyone who lost enough money to want to kill Leon Hamilton.
14:00We've got details of the bank, so I'll cover...
14:02I'll cover them on my way to the airport.
14:04Airport?
14:05Mrs Hamilton is coming to identify her husband's body. Remember?
14:08Ah, yes. Sorry.
14:10Oh, that should be the autopsy.
14:12Great.
14:13Put it on speakerphone.
14:14D.I. Richard Poole.
14:17Happy birthday to you.
14:19Happy birthday to you.
14:22Happy birthday...
14:23Mum, Dad.
14:24Um, yep.
14:25Yes, the birthday card came yesterday, and the parcel came this morning. Thank you again.
14:32No, always good to send separately, just in case.
14:36Yep.
14:37Yep.
14:38Listen, Mum, I'm actually at work, and, um, well, I'm about to go into a meeting, so, uh, could we do this later?
14:45Yep.
14:45Thanks again.
14:47Yeah, you too.
14:48Yep.
14:48Bye.
14:49Goodbye.
14:52It's your birthday, sir?
14:55Yes.
14:56Today?
14:56Yes.
14:57Happy birthday.
14:57Happy birthday, sir.
14:59So, how old are you?
15:00None of your business how old I am. Now, would everybody please just get on with the tasks I've set them?
15:04Morning.
15:29Morning.
15:49That can't have been easy.
15:54I've never seen a dead body before.
15:55Have you any family here, someone who can be with you?
16:02It's just us.
16:04Me.
16:05No.
16:08You must have loved him very much.
16:12Yes.
16:18If you're ready, I can take you to your hotel.
16:23Oh, I'm ready.
16:26This is terribly exciting.
16:28I just need enough information to eliminate you from our inquiries, Mrs.
16:31Miss Park.
16:34Miss Park.
16:35I love being interviewed.
16:36Look, when I took the prisoner upstairs to the outside seating area, I recall you came out a few moments later.
16:41Yes.
16:42And you were aware that I was with the prisoner?
16:43Yes, I saw you at the rail.
16:45He was bent over, it looked like he was being sick.
16:48And during your time outside, did you see anyone with a knife or acting particularly suspiciously?
16:55No.
16:56The boat was a bit rocky.
16:58I was just holding on, to be honest.
17:00Um, your grandparents.
17:03They invested in the Paradise Beach complex a couple of years ago.
17:06Yes.
17:08You went aware that the prisoner was Leon Hamilton, the man convicted of fraud when he went bust.
17:12No, I wasn't.
17:14You didn't know?
17:15No.
17:15But if I had, I'd have quite happily murdered him.
17:18He took everything my grandparents had, every last penny.
17:21I'm sorry.
17:22That makes me a suspect, doesn't it?
17:27Tadal!
17:28Of course, I'll make myself completely available, should you need me again.
17:32Would you like my passport?
17:33No, it's okay.
17:34Thank you for your help, Miss Park.
17:35Have a good day.
17:39She seemed very chirpy.
17:41Mad as a bag of frogs.
17:43Is that the autopsy report?
17:44Yes, sir.
17:45Came through while you were with Miss Park.
17:47Single wound through the heart, just like you said.
17:50Anything else?
17:51No other injuries, no.
17:53Toxicology?
17:54All clear.
17:55Forensics on the murder weapon is with the report.
17:57No fingerprints.
17:58We're also checking on the make of the knife.
17:59And possible outlets that sell them, but it's a pretty common blade.
18:04Thanks, Mabel.
18:05Sir.
18:06Sir?
18:07Mm-hmm.
18:09I was hoping I could spend some time in the market today.
18:11Around lunchtime.
18:13See if I can find our beggar thief.
18:15Beggar thief?
18:16Yes, sir.
18:18A woman posing as a beggar, stealing from tourists.
18:21I hate this kind of crime, sir.
18:22It reflects badly on the whole island.
18:24And two of our last three thefts were around lunchtime.
18:26So modus operandi.
18:27Yes, sir.
18:29Then of course you must go.
18:30I am W-O-O-O, and I'm still up here.
18:38Vincent.
18:42How's it going?
18:43It isn't.
18:44No.
18:45It turns out he was the most unpopular man on the island.
18:48So I'm knee-deep in suspects.
18:50That's a good thing, isn't it?
18:52No.
18:53Two or three is good.
18:54Then you can whittle away by process of gradual elimination.
18:57907 just muddies the waters.
19:01Whoa, whoa, whoa, what's that?
19:04I heard it was someone's birthday.
19:06I'm a year older.
19:07It hardly warrants a firework display.
19:09Take it away.
19:11I thought you'd like it.
19:12Well, I don't.
19:13I came for a walk to clear my head and a decent cup of tea.
19:15So just a pot of tea, please, without any form of incendiary attached.
19:18I think you might have upset her.
19:23She's French.
19:24It's an occupational hazard.
19:26Listen, I'm sorry we're making slow progress.
19:28You must be keen to get her.
19:30A little.
19:31I'll have a word with the commissioner.
19:32There's no point you being stuck here.
19:35How well did you know Leon Hamilton?
19:37Not that well.
19:39I'd see him in the association room sometimes.
19:42But I work in admissions, so...
19:44There are over 300 prisoners in the jail.
19:48Men like Leon Hamilton tend to get their heads down.
19:52Yeah, that's the thing is, he didn't strike me as a con man.
19:55There's no brashness.
19:57Oh.
19:58In fact, I'd say there was a...
20:00Sadness about him.
20:03Where he was going from one prison to another.
20:06True.
20:07Wayne said you were here.
20:10Vincent, you remember Detective Sergeant Baudet?
20:12Hello, Vincent.
20:13You found us then.
20:15I suggested he came here for his meals.
20:17And Catherine has been very thoughtful.
20:24Yes, he has that effect on my mother.
20:31Au revoir, Catherine.
20:33Au revoir, Vincent.
20:34I've got a spoon.
20:39So, Mrs. Hamilton formerly identified her husband.
20:43She told me she has little to do with his business.
20:46And she was as shocked as everyone else when he was found guilty of fraud.
20:50How long is she staying on St. Marie?
20:53Just long enough to make the funeral arrangements.
20:56Hmm.
20:57She, um...
20:59Not having the body shipped home?
21:02No.
21:02She said he used to sail on the islands.
21:04And he loved St. Marie, so...
21:06She wants him committed here.
21:07I'm here.
21:19I'm here.
21:24Leon Hamilton told me he'd never been to St. Marie before.
21:28And yet now his wife is saying he often sailed here and it was his favourite destination.
21:33Haven't you ever heard of a husband and wife who don't communicate?
21:36Yeah.
21:36When added to the fact that supposedly he was an experienced sailor who felt seasick on a ferry and something just doesn't add up.
21:45Like what?
21:50Maybe he lied to his wife about where he'd been to cover up an affair.
21:54Maybe she was lying about him loving St. Marie because their marriage was a sham and she didn't care about him enough to go to the trouble of having him shipped home.
22:01No, she loved him, I'm sure of it.
22:03How?
22:04I talked to her.
22:06And you can tell whether people are in love just by talking to them, can you?
22:10Yes.
22:12By what they say.
22:14Their eyes.
22:15The tone of their voice.
22:16I find that very hard to believe.
22:21Have you ever been in love?
22:27Look, this has to be connected with Hamilton and his business dealings. Have we spoken to the bank yet?
22:31No, they haven't got back to me.
22:33Then let's start there.
22:342nd, 3rd, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd...
22:591nd, 2nd, 2nd.
22:59What about Samuel King's statement? Anything of interest?
23:19He's been around long enough not to give too much away.
23:23I asked him why he was on the ferry. He said he was sightseeing.
23:27He denies knowing the victim.
23:29But you don't believe him?
23:31The thing is, I saw him at the bar paying for his coffee.
23:35He had a wad of notes big enough to choke a donkey.
23:38Did you ask him about it?
23:40He said he sold an old car.
23:42But?
23:42He couldn't remember what kind of car it was, whose name it was registered in, or who he sold it to.
23:47I don't believe it. I was so close.
23:50The beggar thief struck in the market again today. She took a purse.
23:54You got outrun by a little old lady?
23:56She disappeared on an alleyway.
23:57So, the shame of it.
23:59Okay, you know what? Maybe next time you try and catch a lady.
24:01Okay, see you later.
24:03Wait, wait.
24:04What are we doing for the chief's birthday?
24:06I don't think he's keen on surprises.
24:08We have to do something.
24:10You could run down and get him a cake.
24:11You think?
24:11No, on second thoughts, wait till we catch your little old lady. We'll send her. She'll be quicker.
24:17I'm sorry. Do I drop you on a break?
24:23You don't want bank coffee, believe me. Please.
24:27Bonjour.
24:30Cappuccino, please.
24:30Water for me. Thank you.
24:33I don't want bank coffee.
24:34When Leon Hamilton put his company into liquidation and his creditors were notified, it was soon clear that none of his suppliers had been paid, even though the company accounts clearly showed they had.
24:44False accounting?
24:45Yes. That's when we called the police.
24:47How much money?
24:48Close to $2 million is still unaccounted for. Our investigators tried to track it down, but it was transferred overseas. They got as far as Miami and then lost it. We think it's in Europe somewhere.
25:02So Paradise Beach was a scam?
25:04Essentially, yes. He raised almost a million from private investors and then took out a loan from us for the rest.
25:10And the loan was unsecured?
25:11It was secured against the land, but it now seems that the land was virtually worthless. Anything he'd built on there would have fallen into the sea within a year. He'd falsified surveyors' reports.
25:23Were there any, um, you know, larger investors? Anyone who took a real hit?
25:28The largest single investor after the bank was a local businessman, Gordon Foster. He attended Leon Hamilton's trial. Got thrown out for shouting abuse at the defendant.
25:39He's a man with a grudge.
25:41He lost $300,000. Wouldn't he have it?
25:47I've brought statements from all the relevant accounts.
25:55That's Gordon's.
25:58Mr Foster. Detective Inspector Richard Poole. This is Detective Sergeant Bourdais. May we join you?
26:05Be my guest.
26:09Coconut Hill?
26:09Well, he'd like to talk to you about Leon Hamilton.
26:13There's not much to say. He was a con man and he deserved everything he got.
26:16You're saying he deserved to die?
26:19I meant prison.
26:21Although there was a time when I would have gladly strangled him with my bare hands.
26:27That's a figure of speech.
26:28How well did you know him?
26:31Hardly at all.
26:34He was a bit of a recluse, but I had one meeting to listen to his pitch telling me how much money I was going to make and another to sign the contracts.
26:43In summary?
26:44No. I had to fly to Guadeloupe. He talked about opening an office here, but it never happened. Now I know why.
26:51And the next time you saw him was in court?
26:54Yes.
26:55Were you threatened him?
26:56Too right.
26:57I invested because I run a cleaning firm, and Hamilton promised me the contracts to Paradise Beach if I did.
27:05Forty people lost their jobs when he went bust, and the bugger very nearly took me down with him.
27:11Luckily, his wife appears to have stood by him.
27:15What?
27:16His marriage didn't break up, did it?
27:20How the hell did you know that...
27:21You have a tan line.
27:26The divorce came through last week.
27:29Me losing all the money and the stress of it all, it...
27:32It was the last straw.
27:35Can I ask where you were yesterday?
27:37In my office.
27:38All day?
27:38From 8.30 in the morning until 7 at night.
27:40Witnesses?
27:41How many would you like?
27:42One would suffice.
27:47This is the number of Alice, my PA.
27:54She was with me all day.
28:03He lost a fortune.
28:06Business was clearly threatened.
28:07Then he lost his wife and son.
28:10Motive enough for me.
28:11Thank you for agreeing to see us.
28:15Wow.
28:16I'm not sure what a help I can be.
28:18Your husband sailed a yacht around St. Marie, I understand.
28:22Yes.
28:23A lot?
28:23I don't know.
28:24I don't know.
28:26Yes.
28:27Apparently enough for you to want to cremate him here.
28:30Yes.
28:31Yes.
28:32I mean...
28:33Sorry, how is this important?
28:34Well, I won't know that until I have your answer.
28:36So, how many times did he come sailing here, once, twice, a dozen times?
28:40I said I didn't recall, didn't I?
28:44I see.
28:44I understand you weren't involved in the Paradise Beach, Conrad.
28:49Not really.
28:50I mean, of course, I knew about it, because Leon would talk about it, but details, I'm afraid
28:56business isn't my strong point.
28:57So, you wouldn't have any idea where he'd stash two million dollars, then?
29:03Excuse me?
29:03The amount the bank believe he'd stolen from the company account.
29:09I would know if we had that sort of money, and I can assure you we most certainly did
29:14not.
29:15Well, perhaps he simply didn't tell you about it.
29:19I'm sorry.
29:20I think that's enough.
29:22Huh?
29:25My husband died only yesterday, in your care, as I understand it.
29:30So, I have no intention of sitting here listening to you sully his memory.
29:36Despite what you may have heard, my husband was not a conman.
29:40Yes, he may have cut the odd corner, what businessman doesn't, but he wanted Paradise Beach to
29:44work as much as everybody else.
29:46He was just unlucky, nothing more.
29:48And whatever his shortcomings, he certainly didn't deserve to die for them.
29:55Is he?
29:56Is he what?
29:57I told you she loved him.
29:58Hmm.
29:58She could just be a very convincing lawyer.
30:01She took with suspicion.
30:04Hmm.
30:05But passion for her dead husband, or passion not to get caught for being involved in his murder?
30:14Ah.
30:15Means, motive, and opportunity.
30:19Could you tell me your name?
30:20Usually difficult to establish, but here we have them in abundance.
30:23Means, a common blade.
30:28Easy enough for anyone to pick up.
30:31Opportunity.
30:32Despite the fact that he was a prisoner being transferred, boats crowded, people bumping into one another.
30:38Simple enough for the killer to find time for a single blow.
30:41Well, as for motive, half the island appears to have one.
30:49Okay.
30:50I'll send an officer around.
30:52Fidel, you better get down to the old market, Cove Lane.
30:56The beggar thief just stole another purse.
30:57But the people on the ferry, if they had recognized him, they may have attacked him, thrown him overboard even.
31:08But not this.
31:11You're right.
31:12Had to be premeditated.
31:14Whoever killed Leon Hamilton knew he was going to be on that ferry.
31:17It was a confined space, nowhere to hide.
31:24If you couldn't afford to be seen, what would you do?
31:27Pay someone to do it for me.
31:33Dwayne.
31:34Chief.
31:35The man you interviewed earlier, Samuel King, is he capable of this, do you think?
31:38At the right price?
31:39Hell yes.
31:39And as we appear to have hit a dead end, maybe it's time I spoke to him after all.
31:45Where can I find him?
31:47Mr. King?
31:53I'm Detective Inspector Richard Poole.
31:55As you know, this is Police Officer Dwayne Myers.
31:57We'd, um, like to ask you a few questions.
32:00You've already spoken to your boy.
32:02Well, now we have some different questions.
32:07Watch him!
32:13Wait!
32:17Coming up!
32:30mitron
32:31eh
32:32with no
32:33we've done well.
32:33Oh my God.
32:35Hot!
32:36Hot!
32:37Hot!
32:37Hot!
32:38Hot!
32:39Hot!
32:39Hot!
32:40Hot!
32:40Hot!
32:41Hot!
32:42Hot!
32:43Hot!
32:44Hot!
32:44Hot!
32:45Hot!
32:45Hot!
32:46Mr. Foster.
32:58It was a few weeks back, just after my wife left.
33:02I was drunk out of my skull.
33:04I met Samuel King in a bar,
33:07and he was boasting about being a part of the underworld.
33:10A fixer, if you like.
33:13And, apparently, I asked him how much it would cost to fix Leon Hamilton.
33:20He said 50 grand.
33:24God, I was drunk. It wasn't a serious proposition.
33:29Then, why were you sitting with him, and why did you run when you saw us?
33:33Yesterday, he came round to the house.
33:36He said that he had done it, and he demanded payment.
33:39I mean, God, I had no idea he was bloody going to go through with it.
33:44So you paid him?
33:46I wish. I don't have that kind of money any more.
33:50I just gave him a few hundred to make him go away.
33:55And then he came back for more.
33:59He said that if I didn't come here today with more money,
34:02and he would go to the police.
34:09So, what would happen if I just got up and walked out?
34:15We both know that isn't going to happen.
34:18Could always leave a little something behind.
34:20One could say you were distracted.
34:22You know, I really hope you're not suggesting what I think you are.
34:25For me?
34:27No.
34:29I'm just asking a question.
34:33Did you lose him?
34:34No. I got him. He's in the hospital.
34:39No, I didn't.
34:41I mean, it was his foot.
34:43Samuel King, I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Leon Hamilton.
34:48He came into the bar wasted.
34:51He started talking about this guy, Leon Hamilton.
34:53Some big shot from Guadeloupe.
34:55He'd ruined his life and everything he was going to do to him.
34:57So you offered to murder this man for money?
34:59I was only messing.
35:01It was no big deal.
35:02I thought I might scam him up front for payment off him.
35:05And then what happened?
35:07Well, nothing.
35:09I'd forgotten all about it until I'd heard that the same Leon Hamilton had been murdered
35:13on the very same ferry that I'd been travelling back on.
35:18It was too good to miss.
35:20So you went to Gordon Foster and told him it was you in the hope of getting paid?
35:25Yeah.
35:27It was working, too, until you turned up.
35:32Yeah, I think I know the guy you're talking about.
35:35Gold chains.
35:37Mean-looking guy.
35:38I see.
35:39Yeah.
35:40It's my vote.
35:46Did Leon Hamilton talk about Samaritan?
35:50I'm not sure.
35:52Why?
35:53I was wondering how often he'd been here.
35:55Is it important?
35:57I think so.
35:59Just, you know, not really sure why.
36:03Sex and money.
36:06All murders are about sex or money.
36:08Erm.
36:10Sir.
36:12Sir.
36:13I don't appear rude, but, er, do you mind?
36:16So, no new developments, then?
36:18Nothing I should know about?
36:20No.
36:22I could help.
36:24I know the five BRMs off by heart.
36:26The what?
36:27BRMs.
36:28Basic rules of murder.
36:29If it's not about sex, it's about money.
36:30If it's not about money, it's about sex.
36:31If it's not about money, it's about sex.
36:32A wife is always most likely to kill a husband.
36:34A husband is always most likely to kill a wife.
36:36And the last person you should discount should be the one you least suspect.
36:41I've never had such a clap trap in 23 years of policing.
36:44It's in the November issue of Murder Monthly.
36:46I don't care where it is.
36:47Sorry.
36:48Would you excuse us?
36:49We were having a private conversation.
36:51Oh, well.
36:53But remember, if you use your BRMs, you'll never go far wrong.
36:56Happy birthday to you.
37:09Happy birthday to you.
37:12Happy birthday, dear Richard.
37:16Happy birthday.
37:26I know you're under pressure, we all are, but would it really be so hard to just once be nice?
37:37I'm sorry.
37:40Oh.
37:41It was very rude.
37:44Yes, it was.
37:47Is that it?
37:49Good.
37:50Now, not only do the bank statements show money being drawn out of the company account over a period of time,
37:54but look, the same thing's happening to their private account.
37:57You left a bar full of people thinking happy birthday just to come here and look at bank statements?
38:02Yes, and I've already apologised. Can we move on?
38:04You're impossible!
38:06Mrs. Hamilton withdrew $50,000 from their joint account three weeks ago.
38:12Wait, wait, wait.
38:14$50,000?
38:16Isn't that what Samuel King asked Gordon Foster to pay?
38:19The exact amount.
38:21Bit of a coincidence, don't you think?
38:22Yeah.
38:24Sex and money.
38:28Excuse me?
38:29The madwoman was right.
38:31Great motives for murder.
38:33I think we'll go and see, Anne, first thing in the morning.
38:37So, are you coming back to the party?
38:40I won't if you don't mind, um, early night.
38:44A lot to do tomorrow.
38:45I'll brought you a slice of cake.
38:49Happy birthday.
38:50Happy birthday.
38:51Whoop, come on now.
38:55köp,啪ú, tv?
38:56Happy birthday.
38:58Happy birthday.
38:59Happy birthday.
39:01Happy birthday?
39:04Happy birthday.
39:07Happy birthday.
39:13Happy birthday.
39:14I thought you'd forgotten all about me.
39:28Morning, sir.
39:29Morning, team.
39:30Great party, chief.
39:32Looks like it.
39:33I was just going to call you, sir.
39:35Leon Hamilton is being cremated at 11.30 this morning.
39:38We ran an airline check, and Hamilton has booked the next flight of the island, the 14.05,
39:43to Miami.
39:44It's her, isn't it?
39:45Where's Camille?
39:46Already on her way to Anne Hamilton's hotel.
39:48I'll see her there.
39:50You ready?
39:52What?
39:53The beggar thief.
39:54You promised to help me, remember?
40:02That woman I left the party with last night, there were two of them.
40:06Oh, so I wasn't seeing double?
40:09That's her, the beggar thief.
40:12Let's go!
40:13Let's go!
40:14Let's go!
40:15Let's go!
40:16Let's go!
40:17Let's go!
40:18Let's go!
40:19Let's go!
40:20Let's go!
40:21Let's go!
40:22Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop.
40:23Philip?
40:24Wait till I tell your mother.
40:26Philip wait till I tell your mother
40:38Police please let me through excuse me
41:08I think we were on the right trail I think somehow she was involved in her husband's death
41:19she must have had an accomplice Samuel King is in a cell Gordon Foster
41:27I think if we find out who killed Mrs. Hamilton we'll also find out who killed her husband
41:32only unlike Leon Hamilton who had queues of people who wanted him dead
41:35we just need to work out who profited most from Mrs. Hamilton's death
41:40let's get you locked up
41:45yes sir why is he dressed as a woman he's the beggar thief sir
41:51but that was a woman no sir it was Philip in her dress
41:56anything else sir no no thank you
42:02Fidel thank you okay they've cordoned off the room
42:07shall I send Dwayne and Fidel over no no what that's that's what if what
42:15Dwayne where's Vincent he was having breakfast at Catherine's bar Fidel yes sir go and get Gordon Foster
42:21and his addresses on file keep him head till I call you you understand this repeated
42:25and keep him at the station until you call me
42:27excellent now go on what's going on
42:29I don't know I mean I think I know
42:31oh you think
42:32that's how it works usually I mean at least it's the start of how it works
42:35you raise a notion thought possibility and you bombard it with fat things already established to test it
42:45and if that notion however absurd however atlandish well stands up to that kind of scrutiny
42:51if it still fits if it can't be disproved by what we already know
42:57well I mean mostly not always but yeah mostly it's the truth
43:05ha
43:08bring Samuel King come on
43:13Richard I was hoping to see you before I went
43:19then I'm glad not to disappoint
43:21have a drink
43:22uh no thank you still on duty
43:24so how was your birthday good thank you you missed your own party yes so I understand still
43:31always next year hopefully shall we what's going on um well I hope we might just run through the
43:39case you don't mind you why should I mind you
43:45you see this case should have been the easiest I've dealt with
43:50I was handcuffed to the victim when he was murdered after all but in reality turned out
43:54to be one of the most confusing
43:57the murder itself wasn't particularly baffling audacious
44:00yes daring
44:04absolutely but then um well just takes a second to plunge a blade into a man's heart
44:10no this case has never been about the how
44:12it's always been quite literally about the who
44:17samuel king looked like a good bet to begin with isn't that right camille
44:20myself for hire a man who claims to be willing to take another man's life if the price is right
44:27you're on that ferry you could have found that second to plunge a knife into the victim
44:30you can't prove nothing
44:33quite so luckily we don't have to um prove nothing because you didn't kill me on
44:42you're an opportunist
44:45i doubt you had the brains or the audacity for this particular crime
44:48you simply saw an opportunity for a payday from disgruntled investor gordon foster
44:54when he stumbled into your bar by charts hey look i really have to go soon how much longer
45:01be worth the wait i promise
45:05you see the key to this case was to be found not in the murder of leon hamilton
45:09but in the killing of his wife and then can you come over now yes please not only do i believe
45:17that anne hamilton was involved in the first murder i also think she had an accomplice
45:23an accomplice who did the dirty work who uh actually carried out the murder for reward
45:30and what reward not only mrs hamilton herself of course but also the two million dollars she'd
45:36helped her husband hide from the banks and their creditors
45:39but a murderer's accomplice is a very dangerous individual particularly when there's money
45:46at the heart of things i mean once you've crossed that threshold why not have it all to yourself
45:53and that's what you did wasn't it what it was you who plunged a blade into that poor man's heart
45:59the time to strike was when the ferry hit rough water as it rounded the point a single strike when
46:10you knew that everyone would be distracted by having to hold on as the boat rolled
46:15i think you have a very vivid imagination yes i have without it i very much doubt we'd be having this
46:21conversation
46:25there's an old cliche about murder that someone reminded me of recently
46:29that in the vast majority of murders the motives either sex or money in this case it was both
46:37and there's another cliche that if the wife is murdered it usually be the husband who is
46:43responsible except this time it can't be on the contrary drain
46:50that's exactly what happened what's going on
46:59it can't be
47:05but you're dead because this isn't vincent the prison guard this is leon hamilton
47:12mr foster there's the only man in this room who's actually met him
47:16you sure this is leon hamilton absolutely
47:31while in prison the real leon hamilton met down at the old prison guard vincent carter recently
47:41divorced broke not much of a future to look forward to what was the deal fifty thousand dollars for six
47:48months to swap places and serve out the remainder of your sentence here on saint marie fifty thousand
47:54dollars taken up by your wife two weeks ago it was easy enough for the real vincent to fake
48:00your prison records he worked in admissions didn't he
48:05so after you left the prison and before you reached the ferry you swapped clothes with the real
48:09vincent carter you knew all along you were going to kill him didn't you the master stroke was your
48:16wife coming from guadelib to identify the body i'm here
48:22i thought you'd forgotten all about me in fact i think you arranged to meet her last night
48:29i think you've planned how to spend your ill-gotten games and then she gave you what you needed didn't
48:35she her signature and with it the money no need to waste the night
48:40in the morning you threw her to her death
48:49she also knew that as a keen sailor you'd often sailed around the island of saint marie whereas
48:53when i asked the real vincent he said he'd never been here before and because you were a keen sailor
48:58you knew how rough the sea got when you ran to the point and because the real vincent wasn't he felt
49:02seasick as soon as the journey started but although vincent carter traded places with you that day
49:07he was just a smaller part of the bigger game you were playing wasn't he because this was about
49:11two million dollars and gaining your freedom not just from prison but also from your wife as soon as
49:16she'd identified the wrong body she was no longer needed she thought the two of you were in this
49:21together she was looking forward to your reunion not suspecting for a second that you did all of this
49:26in order to kill her it must be the perfect murder after all how could a dead man kill his own wife
49:39made you look pretty stupid though didn't i yeah you did and please feel free to continue gloating
49:46throughout the entirety of your double life sentence
49:56that was quite something thank you
50:22oh lord i see you got someone then so what was it sex or money both thought so brm never fails
50:39you don't want to know
50:42well i think we should celebrate as you missed your own birthday party last night
50:47cracking idea um actually a little bit tired up all night and uh one or two things to do so uh
50:54why don't i meet you all back here yes because if you don't we'll come and find you absolutely
50:58we mean it
51:08oh
