We didn't disturb you, did we?
No. Just saying a quick prayer.
Oh, please don't tell me you got the whole church ready on your own.
I don't mind. I enjoy it.
Yeah, but I told him to be here to help.

So are you going to make it to the service?

Hmm!
I'm going to nip home and grab the food.
- Ah! - Is Seb still not here?
You going to be OK setting up for lunch?
I'll be fine.
OK.
Today's collection, Pastor.
I'll go and finish tidy-up in here,
then I'll head over to your place.
I'll see you soon, Sylvie.

- - Hello?
Hello?
Is somebody there?
- - OK, everybody!
Come and sit down.
Oh, that boy has a sixth sense.
You can't get him to come to church on time,
but dish up some food and there he is.
What a feast! Looks like I timed it just right.
Can't wait to dig in. I'm dead fo' hungry.
Miss Sealy.
- Mwah! Mama. - Mmm!
- Y'all good? - Mm-hm. - Nice to see you, Seb.
Right, come, everybody - sit down.
Wait.
Sylvie's not here.
Don't tell me she's still at the church.
Yes I. All good?
PHONE RINGS
BELL TOLLS
Mervin! Good afternoon.
We don't often see you here on your own.
Er, yeah, well, the Commissioner has been encouraging me to...
...put myself out more.
And you've got to do what the big man says, right?
So I thought I'd try my hand with the dominoes crowd.
Good for you. I'll introduce you.
Um...!
It's a lot noisier than how they play back home.
I mean, back there, it's... it's... it's more sedate.
- And less, um... - Passionate?
- Exactly that. - So often the way with the English.
Ah... everyone, this is Mervin.
He was looking to play.
Oscar. Maybe you could play with him. Hmm?
- Sure. - Yeah. Nice to meet you, Oscar.
- Nice to meet you. - Um...
Be gentle with me, yeah? It's been a while.
Oh, Naomi! You're not working today?
We are now, I'm afraid. Got an accidental death.
Coroner's away at the moment,
so we have to go and sign off on it.
Mervin's here.
He was just about to play his first dominoes game
- on the island. - There you go.
Oh.
- Oh. - That's it.
Well...
OK, then. Uh...
Nice one, mate.
We should, uh, have a rematch sometime.
You know, by the 12th of never.
- It's not over already? - The man totally thrashed me!
I was only gone a few moments!
Hands like a hurricane. Never seen anything like it.
DS Thomas, please tell me we've got a new case
to deal with, because that was genuinely humiliating.
We have. By St Vincent's Church,
which is Seb's mother's church.
He was the one that called it in.
See you, Oscar.
English!
- - Victim's name is Sylvie Godwin. She was 85 years old,
God bless her.
I can't believe she's gone just like that.
Did you know her well?
Since I was a kid.
She was like an auntie to me, you know?
Sorry, mate.
So was she alone when it happened?
She stayed behind after service to tidy up.
Looks like she was dusting the cross
and lost her footing and pulled it down with her.
- - Poor woman.
- - Paramedics reckon she banged her head
when she landed. Caused an injury to the brain.
And you found her body, Officer Rose?
Mm-hm.
Me and my mum and Miss Sealy. She's the headmistress
at the church primary school down the road.
- - Miss Godwin!
Something isn't right.
It's not adding up.
This whole scene in front of her,
it's just not adding up for me.
It's her shoes.
What's wrong with her shoes?
Well, there's nothing wrong with her shoes, per se.
They're nice enough Sunday-best shoes.
Got a bit of a heel on them. About two inches, I reckon.
The thing is, most people,
if they're going to climb up on a chair to do some dusting
and they're wearing heels,
they're going to remove them beforehand -
to be more sure-footed.
Safety first and all that.
And at 85 years old,
I think Mrs Godwin here
would be even more likely to do that than anyone younger
or more agile.
So, what are you suggesting?
That she didn't climb up on the chair?
No, she didn't. And if she didn't climb up on the chair,
she didn't fall from the chair.
And if she didn't fall from the chair,
she didn't bang her head from falling.
And if she didn't bang her head from falling,
then what did actually happen here?
You think it's suspicious?
I think we've been sold a lie.
- Well, that's not possible. - Why not?
Because the church was all locked up
from the inside, so nobody could get in or out.
Show me.
So, when we got here, we went to the back entrance.
It's locked!
That won't go in.
The key's in on the other side!
So we came round to the front entrance
to the same situation.
Let me see.
There's a key in here, too.
So, I had to bust the door open.
- See? - Whose key is that?
Mrs Godwin's. She usually locks the door
when she's tidying up so nobody bothers her.
Show me the back door.
Is this also the victim's key?
No. That's from the hook over there, sir.
I don't know how it got in this door.
Could someone have been hiding in here
- while you were in there? - No way.
As soon as I found her, I saw my phone had no juice,
I came straight in here and called the ambulance.
I'm telling you, both doors were locked on the inside.
If someone killed Mrs Godwin
and staged a crime scene...
...then...
- - How did they manage to get out?
- - No, that just can't be.
There is no reason anybody would want to do that to Sylvie.
She's right. It's crazy you think it is suspicious.
Well, can you tell us a little more about her?
Did Mrs Godwin have any family? Was she married?
Was, but he passed away... When was it, now?
It was 2017.
I officiated the funeral.
I mean, you want to know about Sylvie's life?
It was this church!
This church was her family!
That's the truth.
She had been coming to St Vincent's
since before I was born.
She was christened here, she got married here, she...
And she never missed a single Sunday service
in all of her life.
Pastor, I came straight over.
Thank you for coming, Hector.
Oh!
I called Hector and told him the news.
He was very close to Sylvie.
She was his school teacher many years ago.
Hector Moise.
DI Wilson. DS Thomas.
So Mrs Godwin was a teacher?
St Vincent Primary School.
I took over from her as headmistress when she retired.
And you kept in touch with her?
- - Always.
The things she did for me as a kid -
above and beyond, you know?
HE SIGHS
In what way?
She kept an eye on me
cos my parents didn't.
- - Sylvie and Walter, her husband,
they never had kids themselves.
Hector meant the world to her.
- - That's why this just can't be true!
That woman had nothing but good in her.
Well, if you think of anything, you let us know, yeah?
Mm.
You can go and rest your feet now.
I'll clear all this up.
You want me to make you a herbal tea?
After a day like today,
all I want is for you to pour me a rum.
A large one.
All right. Christmas rum coming out early this year.
Seb... Your Inspector...
...is he usually right about this kind of thing?
99.9% of the time.
So, someone did murder Sylvie.
Mm.
But who?
I don't know.
But it couldn't have been anybody at the church, right?
So maybe Sylvie had things going on in her life
that we don't know about.
But, Mum, I promise you,
whatever it is, we'll figure it out.
All right.
- - I know this hasn't played out how we expected,
but I had to do what I had to do.
No, I'm not coming back yet.
Not until I've got what I came for.
Finished your breakfast?
You're welcome.
Oh!
Commissioner, you made me jump.
Good morning, Inspector.
Good morning.
This arrived for me in the morning post.
It's from your victim.
Mrs Godwin saw me on the local news
covering the recent police initiative event.
She said she could tell
I wanted to put things right,
and that's what she also needed to do -
right a wrong.
But she didn't say what that was?
Only that whatever it was was of a criminal nature
and had something to do with St Vincent's Church.
"There is a dark secret
"that has been buried for too long,
"and it's time the truth came out."
It was posted on Saturday morning.
And 24 hours later, she was dead.
Well, this gets more interesting by the minute.
How much is in Mrs Godwin's bank account?
$2,463,000.
What?! Are you sure about that?
Like, seriously?
Seriously.
Who knew primary school headteachers earned so much?
- - I requested statements that go further back.
All I have is the last five years,
and the money was already in the account.
The victim's husband - Walter, is it? -
what did he do for a living?
Mr Walter Godwin. He was the caretaker
at the same school that Mrs Godwin worked at.
I think that's where they first met.
So it's unlikely to be his money.
Do we know anything about her family?
Yeah. Mrs Godwin told me once her parents were farmers.
They definitely weren't rich.
So she didn't inherit it.
Could the money have something to do with the crime
she talks about in this letter?
The one connected to St Vincent's?
Officer Rose, give your mum a call.
See if it sparks a memory or something, yeah?
Cool. But...
...all of this is a bit odd
because it's nothing like Mrs Godwin.
I mean, $2 million? That's crazy!
She wasn't that kind of person.
PHONE RINGS Once we're done here,
we're going to go and search Mrs Godwin's house.
Also, we've emailed everyone
on the St Vincent's weekly newsletter
to see if any of the parishioners
saw anything suspicious yesterday.
OK, thank you.
Sir...
...that was the solicitor handling Sylvie Godwin's will.
It seems Mrs Godwin has left everything
to Hector Moise.
Wow. So this guy's just become a millionaire?
It appears so, sir.
What do we know about him?
- - He's a fisherman. Or was.
But he hasn't worked for the last 18 months or so
due to an injury out at sea.
So if he's had no income for almost two years, then...
Then two million's going to come in very handy.
I don't know, either. It's all a bit crazy right now.
Mum, I'll speak to you later. I got to go.
I'll leave you to it, Inspector.
- No worries, Commissioner. - Sir!
I just got off the phone to my mother
and she has no idea what Sylvie Godwin
was talking about in that letter.
Well, if anything else comes to mind, let me know,
- yeah? - All right.
Where are they going?
To interview Hector Moise.
He's a possible suspect now.
Hector? A suspect?
- Mm. - He's a good guy.
He wouldn't kill anybody, let alone Sylvie Godwin.
She was like a mother to him!
Well, these are the questions we have to ask.
It's what we do.
Without fear or favour, remember?
Mm.
That used to be my boat... there.
Spent more time together, me and her, than anyone else.
And then...
...some doctor you don't even know
writes a certificate saying you can't do it no more.
Well, how are your finances, now you're not working?
I'm struggling, all right?
No-one wants to employ a guy who only knows how to do
one thing in his life.
Yeah, but that all changes now, doesn't it?
Excuse me? What?
Mr Moise, you inherit the bulk of Sylvie Godwin's estate.
And don't tell us you didn't know.
Her solicitor told us Mrs Godwin informed you
- when she made the will a few years back. - Yeah, I knew,
but she got hardly nothing, just her house,
which is a few tens of thousands.
You think I'd kill for that?
You're telling us she didn't let you know
- what was in her will? - No.
Why?
It's more than just her house.
$2.4 million more.
I'm sorry, what?
Is this a joke?
- Funny how things turn out, eh? - Yeah.
I didn't know she had that kind of money. I swear to you.
- She never mentioned a word to me about it. - Hmm.
Look, I get it. I get how it looks to you.
I need money - badly. I'm desperate.
But I had no idea Sylvie was loaded like that...
...so why would I kill her?
Sarge! Found some kind of time machine
in Mrs Godwin's office.
Oh! It's a computer!
- Uh, have you done those? - No. Not yet.
- OK, you do that and I'll do this. - Cool.
COMPUTER BEEPS
Well, it seems to be working.
So I noticed your dad wasn't around yesterday.
If you don't mind me asking, is he...?
Yeah, he, um...
He passed away.
I'm so sorry.
How old were you?
- 11. - That's so young. Must have been hard.
SEB EXHALES
Really hard, you know?
Yeah... my first lesson in pain.
But seeing my mother rise up every morning after that...
...that showed me what true love looks like,
you know?
Made us closer. A team.
You can tell.
"The Belshaw Diptych"?
You know what a diptych is?
Yeah. It's, um, used to measure oil in the car.
You know, you dip it in, take it out.
I said diptych.
You're trying to say dipstick, right?
Diptych. "A painting or a carving on two panels,
"usually hinged like a book."
Oh, you mean diptych?
Yeah, man, me know about diptych and them thing, yeah.
Well, apparently, this Belshaw Diptych is rare.
Priceless kind of rare.
Yeah?
Why was Sylvie interested in this?
Let's check her search history.
Wacha!
She searched the hell out of it.
This was three days ago.
Friday, the day before she posted that letter
to the Commissioner.
The Belshaw Diptych is a rare French panel painting
from the Middle Ages.
Each panel measures 50 by 30cm.
Rare. So it's worth some coinage?
Hmm! It's worth major coinage -
if anybody could find it.
It went missing from France during the Second World War.
And here it is.
"It's believed the diptych was taken from a museum in Paris
"by a young German soldier called Josef Kraus."
They reckon he brought that same painting over here
- to the Caribbean. - When the Vichy Government
sent a new governor to Martinique,
Kraus and a couple of other German soldiers
accompanied him.
And what happened to it when he came here?
Boy! Jah know,
but Josef Kraus, he fled the region
when the war finished,
and the painting never resurfaced.
And some historians believe
that Kraus hid the Belshaw Diptych
on one of the smaller neighbouring islands,
like Saint Marie.
Right. So, our victim
was looking into this Belshaw Diptych,
and the next day sent a letter to the Commissioner
saying she wanted to put right a wrong that took place
many years before at St Vincent's Church.
And 24 hours later,
Sylvie was murdered in the church
with both doors locked from the inside.
- - She also had over $2 million in her bank account,
and we've no idea how she got that money.
But if she came into possession of this painting,
then maybe that could explain
why she ended up so rich.
OK, let's keep digging, yeah?
And, DS Thomas, get in touch with the Commissioner.
Because if there's any truth in it,
this could be a big deal.
Everything all right?
It's just, like,
first Hector, then Mrs Godwin.
It's all...
It's all a bit much right now.
Sylvie was all about doing the right thing.
You should have said so.
No, cos it's like you said, right? Without fear or favour.
So it's not right, me defending her, is it?
Even if I know it's the truth.
Seb, if this case is too close to home,
it's OK to take a step back.
No, it's cool, Sarge. It's cool.
I really want to help get to the bottom of this.
For Sylvie.
- Are you sure? - Yeah.
- I'm good. - All right.
Then I'll see you tomorrow morning, yeah?
- All right. - Take care of yourself.
HE EXHALES
- - All right. Thanks for letting me know, Mrs Martin.
You have yourself a good evening.
Sir. That was one of the parishioners
from St Vincent's.
Received the email we sent out
asking if anyone saw anything suspicious yesterday.
- Uh-huh? - Says she saw a woman outside the church
yesterday morning parked up in a hire car.
Never seen her at St Vincent's before.
- Description? - It was a silver vehicle
with logos for Cariba Car Hire.
The woman looked in her 50s
with shoulder-length blonde hair.
Not much of a tan, apparently.
So, with the hire car, maybe not a local?
Yeah, it's me again.
So who is she?
- - I'm telling you, the police haven't found it yet.
I watched two officers leaving her house,
both of them carrying evidence,
and they didn't have it with them.
So where has it got to?
- - I know a little of the history
of the Belshaw Diptych. But how or why
that connects to Sylvie Godwin...
...I don't know.
But I shall ask around.
Evening, all. Um...
Sorry I'm late.
I had a prior arrangement with a bloke called Barry.
Who, might I ask, is Barry?
It's funny you should ask that.
Well, Barry is a retired expat who is returning to the UK
to be with his grandchildren,
so he's selling off a bunch of stuff online.
So I got myself this beauty.
And what is that, sir?
This is the answer to Catherine's prayers -
not that she knows yet.
What is the answer to my prayers?
Oh, Catherine. Well...
...it's the one thing that's missing from your place.
Mm.
Oh!
- It's a dartboard. - I can see that.
You see, the thing is, dominoes is all well and good,
but for a boozer to be a proper boozer...
Pardon. But this is not a boozer.
- Pub. - Or a pub!
Well, whatever this establishment wants to call itself,
with this on your wall, it can only...
...enhance the communal vibe.
No. We're not an English-themed sports bar.
- It's not going up. - Yeah, but, Catherine...
- I said no! - Just imagine...
Mervin! My final word.
No! No!
It seems
you are now the proud owner
of your very own dartboard.
NAOMI LAUGHS Hmm?
Ha-ha.
All a bit much for me right now at the moment,
- you know? - I know it is, my love. I know.
DOOR OPENS
Whoa! Mum! What's this?
- Oh! - Huh?
Seb, sweetheart... Uh, this isn't, um...
Seb, you... You weren't supposed to...
Good evening, Sebastian. You all right?
Me? Are you all right? What's this? Huh?
What's going on? Cos it look like... What, are you...?
I, uh...
I... I guess you could say we've been getting close,
- the two of us. - Right.
Since when?
Well, um, since...
I suppose, since, um...
What would you say, Laurette? How long has it been?
Well, I suppose we could say, um... it's been...
- ...a year. - A year?!
A year, Ma, and you never once thought to mention it to me?
Uh... Hector, I'm so sorry, could you...?
Could you give us a moment, please?
Actually, I need to be getting home anyway, so...
Sorry you had to find out like this, Sebastian.
I should have... We should have to...
Sorry.
SHE SIGHS
I wanted to tell you, but I...
I was too scared.
Of how I'd react?
- No. - So, then what?
See? It is cos of that.
No, no, really, it's not that.
A whole year, Ma.
A whole year you've been lying to me.
You know...
...in the last 24 hours,
it turns out not one person
is who I thought they were.
But I never thought you would be one of them.
I need some air.
HE EXHALES
Good morning, Inspector, DS Thomas.
- - Inheritance?
Oh, well, I mean...
OK, that's interesting.
All right. Well, thanks. And also, I wanted to know,
so... when was...?
-What the...? - Oh, one second, sorry.
Good morning, Inspector. Sarge. Sarge.
What's going on, Seb?
Well, I went on a walk last night,
and I ended up here, so I thought I'd come and...
- ...start on the case. - Can we...? - Yes, sure. Sorry, sir.
Yes, sorry, sir.
Oh. Sorry.
Sorry. Oh, no. Sor... Sorry.
Yes, yes. Come on, yes.
So, um, I'm just on the phone with, uh,
Sylvie Godwin's bank manager. And, interestingly,
the 2.5 million in her account, she inherited it
from her husband, Walter Godwin.
The bank manager says she don't know where he got it from
or how Walter got so rich.
- It was Walter's money? - Yeah, and, unfortunately,
the lawyer who was handling Walter's will
is no longer around.
So... that's all I got.
Why is there a Post-it
with "postmortem!" written on it?
Oh, uh, the postmortem just came in. It's here somewhere.
Got it. Under the takeaway.
I will clear that up for you,
soon as possible, Sarge. Sorry about that.
Why is there a pack of toilet roll on my desk?
That's why I went for the walk in the first place!
My new housemate was like, "Don't forget the toilet roll."
PM says the victim became unconscious
and died of hypoxia and reckons
she was hit with something with a sharp edge,
rather than banging her head on the floor.
So we're right. It was murder.
What are all these printouts on the floor, Seb?
Oh, that's from, uh, Cariba Car Hire.
They sent the details of the woman who was seen outside
St Vincent's Church the morning of the murder.
Selina Bascombe.
54 years old, from the UK, Berkshire.
Arrived here Friday
and is staying at the Golden Bay Hotel.
Yeah, I think she's just a tourist.
There's nothing interesting about her yet.
Well, then, you didn't look properly, Seb.
Cos on her passport, she uses her maiden name.
Godwin.
As in Sylvie and Walter Godwin?
H-How did I miss that?
We need to talk to her right away.
- Sergeant Fletcher. - Mm?
Yeah, sorry about that. Hello?
LINE BEEPS Hello?
HE SIGHS
Seb, this is cool.
You're trying to move the case on.
But your head is pinging around
all over the place. It's close to chaos in there.
I understand what it looks like, Sarge,
but I've been up all night doing a lot of work,
- and I feel like I'm very... - I think you should go home.
OK? Have a shower. Get yourself straight.
- But, Sarge. I need to finish... - I know, I know.
But you're not helping right now.
We can't work like this.
All right, Sarge. Cool.
Thanks for coming in, Miss Bascombe.
Please take a seat.
- - Walter Godwin was my grandfather.
He was stationed on Saint Marie during the Second World War.
When the war ended,
he wrote to my grandmother,
who was pregnant with my father at the time,
saying that he wasn't coming home,
that it was over between them.
And he knew she was pregnant?
Yes. Except...
I don't think it was him who wrote that letter.
I think it was someone else.
Um... I found this
on the St Vincent's Church website.
It's the day that Walter Godwin got married to Sylvie.
Well... that's Sylvie.
But that's not Walter Godwin.
That's not my grandfather, see?
That's not the same man.
So, you realised
that someone might have stolen your grandfather's identity?
I know they did.
And you came here to Saint Marie to find out
who this other Walter Godwin was?
That's why you were at the church Sunday morning -
to speak with Sylvie Godwin.
Mrs Godwin?
So, how did she react when you suggested
that the man who she'd been married to for 60-odd years
may not be who she thought he was?
She already knew.
She said that she'd only just found out herself that week.
- How? - Well, her plumber
had found a box hidden under the floorboards
when he was fixing a pipe.
I'll find out which plumber.
Sylvie said
it had the true identity of her husband in it,
all his personal documents,
making clear what happened to my grandfather.
Which was what?
She wouldn't tell me.
She said that she wasn't ready yet,
and that she wanted to do it in her own time
and in her own way,
whatever that meant.
I think it meant she wanted to go to the police first about it,
which must have frustrated you,
coming all this way to be denied the truth.
It is my family!
You have no right to keep this to yourself!
I'm sorry! I can't help you.
And in that moment, caught up in it all,
- that's when you must have... - No, no.
No. I wouldn't. Really, I wouldn't.
I just left.
I was angry, but I didn't want to hurt her.
I just wanted to know what was in that box.
And now she's dead and I don't know where it is.
So, if Sylvie had this box she talked about...
...where is it? Because it wasn't at the crime scene
and it wasn't at her house.
And if someone did steal Walter Godwin's identity -
who? And what happened to the real Walter Godwin?
I just got off the phone with the plumber
who was over at the victim's house last Friday.
Said Sylvie looked haunted
after she looked inside that box.
About an hour later,
she was getting inside a taxi,
saying she needed to go to St Vincent's Primary School.
She went to see Yasmine Sealy.
SCHOOL BELL RINGS
OK, I'm going to lay it out, Miss Sealy.
I believe it's you who has the missing box.
Sylvie's.
We could get a search warrant or...
It's a German passport.
From the Second World War, looks like. Belonged to...
Josef Kraus.
"It's believed the diptych was taken from a museum in Paris
"by a young German soldier called Josef Kraus."
The last visa stamp shows he left Martinique
at the end of the war and came to Saint Marie.
"Saint Marie Times, September 27th, 1945."
It's a report about an unnamed British soldier
getting into a fight
with a group of German naval officers
and left for dead near St Vincent's Church.
His body was never found.
I believe that soldier was Walter Godwin,
and I think Josef Kraus came across his body.
Josef realised he could steal his identity,
if he could dispose of the body without it being found.
A map of the St Vincent churchyard.
That must be where the real Walter Godwin was buried.
- - He took Walter's uniform and papers
and buried him there,
in this grave,
so no-one would ever find it.
From that moment on, Josef Kraus was...
Walter Godwin.
I guess he softened his accent as much as he could,
and by the time he and Sylvie met,
about 15 years later,
he seemed like the Englishman she thought he was.
We need to get a forensic dig team over from Guadeloupe.
I'm assuming Mr Kraus
went to all these lengths because of this.
The Belshaw Diptych.
I mean, if the authorities worked out he stole it
and came looking for him,
then, with a new identity, they wouldn't find him.
From what I know, he lived a simple life,
working as a caretaker for this school.
And when he and Sylvie met,
everyone always said they truly loved each other.
That was the day she retired.
Handed the baton over to me.
Why have you got this box, Miss Sealy?
Sylvie brought it with her when she came here on Friday.
I asked her if I could keep it
so I could look into it some more. That's all.
It's entirely innocent.
Not if you didn't tell us about it, it isn't.
Actually, that's suspicious.
Why did you choose to keep it to yourself?
This school is everything to me.
And I can't risk its reputation being damaged.
We're struggling enough as it is - financially.
All we have to keep going is donations,
people's goodwill. And if it ever got out
that we had a caretaker working here
that wasn't who we thought he was...
...was a Nazi soldier who covered up a murder...
So you killed Miss Godwin to stop all this?
No, no, no. I'm very sorry,
I should have told you about it, I know, but...
...I didn't kill her.
- - So if Josef Kraus sold the Belshaw Diptych
and had all that money,
then why he never do nothin' with it?
Never spend it. Nothin'.
Perhaps he kept it just in case.
I mean, if the truth ever caught up with him,
then he had the means to change his identity. Again.
- - Afternoon, Sergeant Thomas.
The trouble is, we're still no closer to working out
who murdered Sylvie Godwin,
and then managed to exit the building
when both the front and back door were locked -
from the inside - with keys inside the lock.
He's buried here?
My grandfather?
We believe so, yes.
Officer Rose.
Inspector. Hey.
Um...
Sorry, I was just, uh, taking a moment, you know?
I'll give you some space.
No, no, no. No, you're all right.
I was just coming in to see if I could make any more sense
- of it all. - Mm. Me too, I guess.
And?
Not much.
Usually, I find...
...it levels me out.
I can feel peace here.
Uh, sorry I haven't been much use in this investigation.
It's just been a lot for me, you know?
I mean, look, we all have cases that, um,
throw us off balance from time to time.
And I've had more than my fair share, trust me.
Right. See, when I'm thrown by a case,
my brain just...
...it starts jumping around like some...
HE EXHALES
...itchy-footed grasshopper, you know?
Well...
...maybe that is your unique selling point.
So I'd say embrace it.
Own it. Don't let it own you.
In fact, you know what? Let's try it.
- Let's try it right now, yeah? - How?
We visualise it.
Only this time,
you are taking the lead.
OK, come on. Up you get. That's it.
OK...
This is the crime scene.
The murder of Sylvie Godwin.
That door, the front door, is locked from the inside.
The key's in the door.
Sylvie's body is here.
This big wooden cross is on top of her.
Now, come on,
just freestyle it, yeah? Just say
whatever your brain wants to say.
Um... I'm thinking about
when I busted the door open...
...and I hurt my arm. You know?
When I got home, it was all bruised up,
so I drank some rum to numb the pain.
But... that also means
it was definitely locked.
OK. OK. What else?
Well, then, if you were the killer,
you'd probably prefer to leave the scene out the back.
Yeah, yeah. Keep going, keep going.
So that way you're less likely to be seen by others.
So, um, maybe...
...we're in the wrong room.
The back room! Come on.
So, what's it saying to you?
This room, what's it telling you?
- Hmm. - What?
Collection box.
It's just, usually it sits right there under the shelf.
Now it looks like it's been pulled out a little bit.
SOFT RATTLE
- There's a coin in it. - And that's odd because...?
Because Mrs Godwin empties the collection box
every Sunday after the service...
Today's collection, Pastor.
...and she gives the money to my mum.
So... this must have been put in there
after she was murdered, which means...
Well, then, the killer must have put it there!
- - That won't go in.
The key's in on the other side!
- - PM says the victim became unconscious
and reckons she was hit by something with a sharp edge.
Diptych. "A painting or a carving on two panels,
"usually hinged like a book."
- - Local art historians
generally believe it was brought to Saint Marie.
Bingo!
Have you solved the case?
It was actually Officer Rose
and his itchy-footed grasshopper brain that solved it.
- I did. - That coin explains everything.
OK, let's move, people.
There's still some things we need to do.
Like get hold of a search warrant.
And we need the luminol.
Oh! And we need a tape measure.
- Why do we need a tape measure? - To measure something!
Way back in 1945,
a young British soldier by the name of Walter Godwin
was killed here on Saint Marie.
His identity was stolen
and his body was hidden
in someone else's grave.
Now, finally,
thanks to Sylvie Godwin
and the discovery of this box,
that young man can get the proper burial he deserves.
Thank you.
Which brings us to the crime in the present -
Sylvie Godwin's murder
at St Vincent's Church on Sunday.
And although it occurred
many years after Walter Godwin's murder,
this little wooden box and its contents
helped solve this murder, as well.
We know from the postmortem
that Sylvie was hit with a sharp object.
This spray, luminol, detects traces of blood,
and this proves that there was blood on the box recently.
As you can see here.
Now, we haven't had the time
to carry out the relevant tests,
but when our lab compares this blood
with Sylvie's, I'm confident they'll match.
And as this box has only been in one person's possession
since the murder, it has led me to believe
that Sylvie Godwin's killer was...
...Yasmine Sealy.
What have you done?!
That... That's not true.
- - Someone else must have taken it and...
Don't worry, Miss Sealy. We'll be coming to this in a minute.
- - Throughout this case,
we've worked on the assumption that Sylvie Godwin's husband,
real name Josef Kraus,
had sold the painting he had stolen,
which explains why
he had so much money in his bank account.
Well, it's half the truth,
because the unique defining thing about a diptych
is that there are two halves to it.
- - Diptych.
"A painting or a carving on two panels,
"usually hinged like a book."
And we now know
that Josef Kraus
sold only one half of the Belshaw Diptych.
And he kept the other half.
Goodness me.
Now, we'll never fully know why
Josef separated the two panels.
My sense is that he was someone who liked to hedge his bets.
Be prepared for all eventualities.
I think that's partly why
he never spent any of the money.
Plus, having to explain to his wife-to-be
how he came into such major coinage
would mean admitting to the theft
of this famous piece of art
and also of being an impostor.
So, Josef held on to the money
and the picture.
So where has it been the last 80-odd years or so?
Hanging on the wall of the headmistress's office
at the St Vincent's Primary School,
which is now...
...your office, Miss Sealy.
Josef Kraus must have put it there
during his years as caretaker,
and no-one ever thought anything of it,
this faded religious icon
hanging on the wall of a church school,
surrounded by other religious images.
Earlier today, Miss Sealy,
when we talked in your office...
That was the day she retired.
...I saw that framed photo on the wall
of Sylvie and Walter,
and I happened to notice
the outline of a larger rectangle
around that frame where the paint hadn't faded.
Clearly, another picture
had previously hung there for some time.
I didn't think much of it at first,
but I had it measured.
And guess what? It was 50cm
by 30cm.
The exact same dimensions
as one half of the Belshaw Diptych.
Each panel measures 50 by 30cm.
That's why Mrs Godwin came to see you
when she found the box
and realised what was hanging on her old office wall.
We can't keep it. I'll go and let the police know.
But you didn't agree, did you?
You told us your school was struggling for money.
But we had a bit of a dig,
and it's... it's worse than that.
You've not drawn a salary in the last six months
to keep it going.
You said yourself the place meant so much to you.
And so the prospect of getting millions of dollars
just landing in your lap...
Well, you just weren't willing to give that up.
And so, after driving home
to pick up food for Laurette's lunch gathering,
you returned to the church
to plead with Sylvie one more time.
Please don't do it!
That money...
It could help the school so much!
It could help me!
But Sylvie wasn't for turning, was she?
I'm desperate!
As Officer Rose said,
she always tried to do good in life,
and she wasn't about to stop now.
Sorry.
So in that moment,
desire for the money got the better of you,
and you decided you were going to stop her.
I assume Sylvie had that box with her
in the church that day.
And this box...
...was your weapon of choice.
And once you used it to kill her,
you made it look like there'd been some...
...tragic accident.
How could you?!
Now, knowing that the front door of the church
had already been locked by Mrs Godwin,
you made your escape via the rear,
using the church's spare back door key -
that you took from the back room -
to lock the door from the outside,
and placing...
...this little coin in the lock...
- It's locked! - ...so that when you returned
with Officer Rose and Laurette...
- That won't go in. - ...and with a little play-acting,
it would seem like the door was locked from the inside.
The key's in on the other side!
Then, when Officer Rose and his mum
headed round to the front, you lingered briefly...
...and proceeded to open the door
with the church's spare key,
pushing this coin out in the process,
and then inserting that key...
...inside.
All you had to do was find a moment
to actually lock it.
OK, thank you.
Ambulance is on its way.
- - Seeing the coin on the floor, you picked it up.
And without your bag or purse...
...you disposed of it in the collection box.
And then actually locked the back door with the key.
It was very clever of you,
making it look like Sylvie was on her own in the church
when she had that fatal fall.
One might say... devilishly so.
But, you see, Sylvie was so determined
that the truth would come out, that, even after her death,
her desire to put right a decades-old wrong
finally won out.
This arrived for me in the morning post.
Officer Rose...
...I think this arrest has your name on it.
Get up.
Yasmine Sealy, I'm arresting you
for the murder of Sylvie Godwin.
You don't need to say anything, but it may harm your defence
if you do not mention when questioned something which
you later rely on in court...
Excuse me, Sarge. I'll be a second.
See you later.
Mum?
You all right?
I can't believe what that woman's done!
SHE SIGHS
Poor Sylvie!
And just for money?!
I'm sorry for getting it wrong.
You haven't seen me at my best on this case.
That's not what your Inspector told me.
He said it was because of you
that it all got solved.
Which is even more impressive
considering you had other things to deal with.
Like your mother keeping secrets.
Honestly, Mum, I think it's healthy -
you moving on.
I don't think you should be getting old and lonely
and just focusing on me and the church, you know?
You deserve happiness, too.
- You all right? - Yes I.
So... you like him?
SEB CHUCKLES Then I'm pleased for you.
But you do know that
all that money he inherited from the stolen painting,
he won't be getting none of that, you know.
- I'm not after him for his money! - SHE CHUCKLES
But, seriously, though, I mean...
...he seems like a good guy.
With him shiny head!
SHE CHUCKLES
See you Sunday.
Don't be late this time.
- Try my best. - Hmm!
- Love you. - Love you, too.
All right, that's the oche.
This is where you throw from.
You get three throws each,
and then it's the next player's turn.
All right? Let's get it started.
Game on. Round one.
SHE SNIGGERS Jah Jah.
I thought you were supposed to hit the board,
- Inspector. - Yeah, yeah,
I think there's something off with the flight.
It's all right, not to worry. We got this, sir.
SHE SNIGGERS
Sir, you are really bad at this.
No, it's not me, honestly. It's the darts.
You know, you're giving off some real bad loser vibes right now.
Maybe you should let the Commissioner take the last throw.
It's not his turn yet!
With respect. Now, if you just stop talking,
then I can throw properly. All right?
THUD
There you go.
So...
...that's two points, is it?
ALL LAUGH
Just two points for our team?
Well, I'm just a bit rusty. That's all.
You want to join our team, Commissioner?
I mean, I don't think any of us are going to be as bad as that.
SEB LAUGHS
ALL LAUGH
♪ Moving in my soul
♪ Feel the spirit... ♪
- - If you don't mind, Inspector.
All right. Well, come on, then, Officer Rose.
You reckon you can do better? Show us what you got.
♪ ..Jump for joy
♪ Clap your hands
♪ Shout for joy
♪ Shake your head... ♪
Ladies and gentlemen of The Tempest company,
this is your 15-minute call.
- - This was their final performance. He suddenly collapsed
halfway through the second act.
The poison was in the bottle that our victim
and the other two actors drank from onstage,
but only Michael Farrer dies.
Would you like to go for a drink with me?
That's inappropriate, Mr Gorman.
A complaint has been made
accusing you of unprofessional conduct.
Still haven't heard from your brother?
I think he's actually ignoring my calls.
Then maybe you should go visit him in Antigua.
Somebody's given the Inspector some hair.
