00:00.
00:10Healing Skin founder Susan Montague, age 35,
00:14collapsed with breathing difficulties
00:16and died before the paramedics arrived.
00:18They're suggesting she died from anaphylactic shock.
00:22According to the staff,
00:24Susan had a very severe peanut allergy.
00:28Explains the EpiPen.
00:32Nasty bruise, must be the site of the injection.
00:36Why didn't it work?
00:40Get it tested.
00:41Find out if it could have malfunctioned somehow.
00:44So if it was a nut allergy,
00:46what had she eaten?
00:48Take your pick, sir.
00:50So you all knew your boss had a serious nut allergy?
00:58Yeah, erm, course.
01:00And I assume the caterers were informed?
01:02Yeah, and we double-checked everything
01:04when they were laying things out.
01:06What about booze?
01:08They came from a bar up the road.
01:10They were also made aware of Susie's allergy.
01:12Is that Susie's bag?
01:14Erm, yeah, it's where I found her EpiPen.
01:18The champagne, the balloons.
01:20What were you celebrating?
01:22We've just launched a new sensitive skin care product.
01:24Pillar.
01:26I've seen it.
01:27I have mute and toe a frog.
01:28Marie, we use naturally shed snake skin in Pillar.
01:32Of course you do.
01:34We actually don't harm any of the animals.
01:38Oh!
01:40What?
01:42Nothing.
01:44I'm not scared of snakes.
01:46It just sneaks up on me.
01:48It's the snakes, sir.
01:50It's what they do.
01:52So, people are actually buying this stuff, yeah?
01:55Yeah, we, erm...
01:56Our first order was due out today.
01:58I, erm...
01:59Look, there's a video that Susie made for our socials this morning.
02:06Believe me, guys, Pillar is going to make you feel amazing.
02:09100% natural ingredients, obviously.
02:12And it absorbs really easily, too.
02:14Makes your skin feel like velvet.
02:16Look, silky smooth, see?
02:18Hmm.
02:21Susie reckoned Pillar was going to put healing skin on the map.
02:24I know she's never going to see it.
02:27She's proper nice, too, you know?
02:29You literally wouldn't find anyone with a bad word to say about her.
02:41I'm sorry, could you excuse us just for a moment?
02:43Hmm.
02:44That was a bit insensitive.
02:45Look at this.
02:46A diary.
02:47This was the last two weeks.
02:48So she was only eating at certain times of the day?
02:49Intermittent fasting?
02:50This is today.
02:51Which means...
02:52She didn't eat anything.
02:53I don't understand.
02:54You're saying that this wasn't an accident?
02:55I'm saying it's a possibility.
02:56Call Officer Curtis, ask her to come down, take everything off the buffet table and get it tested.
02:59Sure.
03:00Any next of kin we need to speak to?
03:01Any next of kin we need to speak to?
03:02No.
03:03No.
03:04No.
03:05No.
03:06No.
03:07No.
03:08No.
03:09No.
03:10No.
03:11No.
03:12No.
03:13I don't get it.
03:14She was always so careful about what she ate.
03:15Had she ever had an attack like this before?
03:19Few times, yes.
03:20But the epic panel was helped, but I would be very much more
03:36A few times, yes, but the EpiPen always helped.
03:42An EpiPen was administered, it just wasn't enough, I'm afraid.
03:52Maybe we could come back later?
03:54I'd probably better get this over with.
03:59Mr. Monsku, we found a diary which suggests your wife was intermittent fasting, whatever
04:06you call it.
04:07Like I said, she was always careful about what she ate.
04:15She was down to fast this morning.
04:17Is there any chance she'd have broken it?
04:20A sneaky sausage roll, maybe.
04:24Susie was the most disciplined person I ever knew.
04:27If I said she was fasting in the diary, then she was fasting, no question.
04:32Sorry, I don't think I can do this.
04:36Is it weird to you that Susie Montagu is running what looks like a successful business, but
04:50Hobbie's waiting tables on a beach?
04:52You think a woman having a better career than a man is weird, sir?
04:55Oh, no, I wasn't saying that.
04:58I'm sorry, sir.
04:59I'm just heading to Healing Skin now.
05:02The commission's inside.
05:03He is not in the best of moods.
05:06I tread carefully.
05:07Oh, great.
05:10Eight complaints I have had, Officer Rose.
05:18Eight.
05:19How many more before one of my officers decides to do something about it?
05:25Sir, yes, sir.
05:27I'll get right on it.
05:29Ah, Inspector.
05:31How nice of you to finally make an appearance.
05:33We had a sudden death pulled in.
05:35Thought we should give it a look.
05:37Cause of death?
05:39We're keeping an open mind till we get the PM results.
05:43So, to what do we owe this pleasure?
05:45My secretary is besieged by noise complaints.
05:49There appears to be a rave happening on Turtle Peak.
05:52Sounds like a mad party.
05:54Heh, heh.
05:58Sir.
05:59I was in the process of seconding Officer Rose here to stop it.
06:03If you have the time, of course.
06:05You can count on me.
06:07I mean, sir.
06:09Then get on with it.
06:11Oh, sorry, sorry.
06:16That's yours, sorry.
06:18Sorry, sorry, sorry.
06:21So, are we good, sir?
06:28Actually, Inspector, there was another reason for my visit.
06:33I just received a search warrant for your mother's homes.
06:39Uh, thank you for doing this, sir.
06:43I really appreciate it.
06:47You remember our conversation?
06:52This case must be treated like any other.
06:56It cannot become a personal crusade.
07:02Yeah, of course.
07:03And you must involve me and Dias Thomas at every step.
07:09Is that clear?
07:11Crystal.
07:13We will keep you updated, sir.
07:16Thank you, Dias Thomas.
07:19Well, why don't we just go now?
07:33I mean, we can't do anything till we get the PM results anyway.
07:36Um, sir?
07:52You know how many times I've sat and stared at this house?
07:57Now I'm actually going inside.
08:02You know, we don't have to do this.
08:06No.
08:07It's fine.
08:08Like the commissioner said.
08:10It's just another case.
08:12What exactly are we looking for, sir?
08:15Laptop.
08:16Phone.
08:17Diary.
08:18Anything that proves dawn and new the storm has come in.
08:21Did your mother grow up here?
08:22No.
08:23No.
08:24No.
08:25No.
08:26No.
08:27No.
08:28No.
08:29No.
08:30No.
08:31No.
08:32No.
08:33No.
08:34No.
08:35No.
08:36No.
08:37No.
08:38No.
08:39No.
08:40No.
08:41No.
08:42No.
08:43No.
08:44No.
08:45No.
08:46No.
08:47No.
08:48Yeah.
08:49Then she moved to Antigua.
08:50Ms. Clementson said she only moved back recently after our man got sick.
08:57You mean your grandfather?
08:58Yeah.
08:59It's his place.
09:00And do you have any other family?
09:06Siblings?
09:07T.S.
09:08Thomas, look, I get it.
09:10You're curious, you're a detective.
09:12But my personal history isn't relevant at this second.
09:15Is it?
09:17Well, not really.
09:19No. So let's just get on with the task in hand, yeah?
09:46Bingo.
09:47Bingo.
09:58Great. Needs a password.
10:00It's okay, sir. I know I got the computer shop that can get into it for us.
10:04What exactly do I do?
10:17What exactly do I do?
10:30Act confident. They'll soon get the message.
10:34I've got confident home.
10:35Officer Rose, please use your initiative for once.
10:39Sorry, people. Party's over.
10:54Party's over.
11:05I said party's over.
11:07Party's over.
11:08Party's over.
11:09Party's over.
11:10Party's over.
11:11Party's over.
11:12Party's over.
11:16Ladies and gentlemen, I am the police.
11:18Well, not all of them.
11:19You have to shut this party door right now.
11:24Unless you want to be our guest for the night,
11:28I'll suggest you go to your bed.
11:30No.
11:31This boy.
11:32Dolly.
11:33Help.
11:34Send back.
11:35No.
11:37No.
11:38Darlene! Help! Send back up! No!
11:45No!
12:05Thanks again for rescuing me last night, Aunty D.
12:08Not a problem, but don't call me Aunty.
12:12Morning Inspector.
12:14Morning.
12:15Saj?
12:16Morning.
12:17Morning.
12:18Everything go okay with the rave?
12:20Uh...
12:21All good.
12:24Seb confiscated this.
12:30Infinity symbol.
12:31It doesn't match anyone we know,
12:33but it may just mean it's a new supplier on the block.
12:37Hold up.
12:42That was in Susie Montague's handbag.
12:45Oh, not allergy lady.
12:47Do you think there's a connection?
12:49Well, it's a common symbol, but to see it twice in as many days...
12:53A load of numbers.
12:55Some calculations, maybe?
12:57Officer Rose, any idea what was in these?
13:00I'll ask her own.
13:01See if anybody knows something.
13:03Good, you do that.
13:04Oh, thank you, sir.
13:07It's a post-mortem on Susie Montague.
13:17Oh, and we've also got the lab results in.
13:19Good.
13:20Right.
13:21Cause of death.
13:22Significant traces of peanut oil were found in the victim's mouth,
13:27specifically on her gums and tongue.
13:30Peanut oil.
13:32Definitely ingested.
13:33No passing inhalation.
13:35And knowing the severity of her allergy,
13:37the coroner satisfied death was caused by fatal anaphylaxis.
13:42What about the EpiPen?
13:44Was that tampered with?
13:46The lab says it functioned correctly.
13:49The level of adrenaline in her system matches the dosage given by the pen.
13:54According to the lab, it should have been effective.
13:57So why wasn't it?
13:59Okay, our victim ate something containing peanuts.
14:03What?
14:04But that's the thing.
14:06None of the food or champagne contained any traces of peanut.
14:12The PM also notes the heavy bruising on Susie's leg,
14:16likely from the EpiPen.
14:17Carrie Standish said she never administered one before,
14:19so probably a bit rough with it.
14:22And check this, sir.
14:25Susie's stomach was empty.
14:29She hadn't eaten anything for at least 14 hours,
14:33so it seems she definitely was fasting.
14:36But you said there was traces of peanut oil in her mouth.
14:40Yes.
14:41Well, if she didn't eat anything, how did she ingest peanuts?
14:46Susie Montague came into contact with the one food substance she knew would kill her.
14:53But there was nothing in her stomach.
14:56So we know she didn't eat it by accident.
14:58Which suggests that however it got into her mouth...
15:01Someone deliberately put it there.
15:05Making this an official murder investigation.
15:10Officer Curtis, set this thing up.
15:14Find out everything we can about the victim,
15:16especially anyone who would benefit from her death.
15:19Please.
15:21Please.
15:22Sir.
15:27So.
15:28Questions.
15:29Who killed Susie Montague?
15:32Why did they want her dead?
15:34And most puzzling of all,
15:36how did they do it?
15:38It's Chief Commissioner Johnson here.
15:53Apologies for missing your call.
15:55As you know, we're all very grateful for your service to the island.
16:00And you've been nothing but gracious throughout this process.
16:03But I'm sorry.
16:04This is out of my hands.
16:06It all comes down to budget and the board's proceeding with the restructuring.
16:10The decision is final.
16:13Take care, Selwyn.
16:17Thank you, sir.
16:18Yes, we'll keep you posted.
16:22Sir.
16:26I've just updated the Commissioner.
16:28Is it just me or does he seem not himself recently?
16:33Well, he's not a barrel of laughs.
16:34The best of times.
16:36Susie, however, who's that happy all the time?
16:39Maybe she had good reason.
16:41According to the staff, her life was miserable in the UK.
16:44Filled with illness and pain.
16:47St Murray's good for her health.
16:49Gave her a new lease of life.
16:50So she moved halfway on the world for a bit of sunshine?
16:54I'm sure there was more to it than that.
16:56Just like there's more to this island than sunshine.
16:59Yeah, like mosquitoes.
17:05Hang on.
17:06What?
17:09This lid.
17:10It wasn't screwed on properly in the video.
17:16She could have done it when she'd finished filming.
17:19Maybe.
17:23She's a beacon of happiness.
17:26Who'd want to kill her?
17:27So...
17:28What are you looking for?
17:39We're just trying to get to know Susie.
17:41Find out who she really was.
17:44Ella.
17:46You know, we're an open book here, so...
17:49Feel free to explore.
17:55It feels like someone's about to come in and read my fortune.
17:56All that's missing is a crystal ball.
17:57Which would actually be quite handy right now.
17:58It feels like someone's about to come in and read my fortune.
17:59All that's missing is a crystal ball.
18:00Which would actually be quite handy right now.
18:01It feels like someone's about to come in and read my fortune.
18:06All that's missing is a crystal ball.
18:07Which would actually be quite handy right now.
18:17Sir.
18:18It feels like someone's about to come in and read my fortune.
18:22All that's missing is a crystal ball,
18:25which would actually be quite handy right now.
18:31Sir.
18:37Hello?
18:39So Susie had just been served divorce papers?
18:42No.
18:43These papers were served by Susie to Steve.
18:48I think we need to have another talk with our grieving widower.
19:09Never heard of compassionate leave?
19:14What's the alternative?
19:16Sit at home alone.
19:18I don't even know who I am without my wife.
19:21Except, going by the divorce papers Susie had just sent you,
19:25she didn't want to be your wife anymore.
19:28And your response here suggests to me you weren't very happy about that.
19:31Things were great when we first came here.
19:45The climate really suited Susie.
19:48Cold weather back home just made her symptoms ten times worse.
19:52We'd been to St. Marie before, on holiday, two days in the sun, seawater.
20:00She was like a different person.
20:04So we came here for good.
20:05As soon as she felt better, she wanted to start helping others, spreading the sunshine, she said, but then it took over her life.
20:18She was obsessed, it was like she was on a mission.
20:21So we drifted apart.
20:24And when are you going to make time for us?
20:26You just don't like that I found something for me!
20:28I moved out about a month ago.
20:33It was a mutual decision.
20:35Give us both a bit of space.
20:39Then she sent those.
20:43Which clearly made you angry.
20:46Must have been particularly galling though.
20:49With the business doing so well.
20:51Sorry, I don't know what you're saying.
20:53Well, if the divorce happened, you'd lose out, wouldn't you?
21:02Wait, you think I did something?
21:06I loved her.
21:08I'd never do anything to hurt her.
21:11Can you think of anyone who might?
21:15Have you spoken to Kerry Standish?
21:19Her and Susie had a big falling out about a month ago.
21:23Please, just think about it, Susie.
21:25I said I don't want to hear another word about it, okay?
21:28I couldn't tell you what it was about.
21:32Seemed pretty tense.
21:42I believed him when he said he still loved her.
21:45Well, maybe he loved her too much.
21:47You know, if I can't have you, no one else can.
21:53Officer Curtis.
21:54Sir.
21:56We've been looking into healing skin.
21:58And there are two things we found that might be significant.
22:01Firstly,
22:02the company registered Kerry Standish as a new director a month ago.
22:07And Kerry's in charge of research, right?
22:09Mm-hmm.
22:09One man.
22:11Sarge.
22:12Big man.
22:13Say, yeah.
22:15Kerry.
22:16We found something.
22:16Well, Darlene found it.
22:19But I held proper juicy.
22:22Jude, like a big piece of, you know...
22:24Abba, Seb.
22:25Right, sorry.
22:27A week after being made director,
22:30Kerry was removed.
22:32Could that have been what Steve heard them arguing about?
22:35So why did Susie cut her in and then suddenly cut her out?
22:38Well,
22:39the new product,
22:40the company was about to launch Pellore.
22:43The brand name was lodged with the patent toughest last year.
22:46And Kerry Standish was named the inventor.
22:51So Susie made her a director as what?
22:53Some kind of thank you?
22:55And if Pellore was a success,
22:57as a director,
22:58Kerry would stand to make quite a bit of money.
23:00Not anymore.
23:01Well, clearly something happened to make Susie withdraw that directorship.
23:05We just need to find out what?
23:08Yeah, nice one.
23:12You're making things sound far more sinister than they actually are.
23:15Yes, I created Pellore,
23:17but everything I do here belongs to Healing Skin.
23:20I was as surprised as anyone when Susie made me a director.
23:23So why did she change her mind about it a week later?
23:26And we know you argued about it,
23:27so let's not paint a picture of love and harmony.
23:30Steve, was it?
23:31Staring things as usual.
23:33Look,
23:34Susie wanted to wait until Pellore had actually launched.
23:37You know,
23:38to get a clearer idea of how many shares to give me,
23:41it made sense.
23:43But as a director,
23:44you'd have made a lot of money from Pellore.
23:47Now,
23:48you get nothing.
23:49Wait,
23:50if I was in this for the money,
23:53I'd still be in Big Pharma.
23:54Not doing a start-up on a tiny island.
24:00You're barking up the wrong tree,
24:01officers.
24:03Susie's the only one who can tell you why she did what she did.
24:06Can't ask her that,
24:07can I?
24:08On account of her being dead.
24:09We'll let you get back to your work.
24:16Thank you for your time.
24:17Inspector.
24:17If you don't mind me saying so,
24:34your bedside manner needs a little work.
24:36Sometimes you're bothering on being downright rude.
24:38Hang on.
24:39How do you know that's not the look I'm going for?
24:41When people get riled up,
24:44they tend to lose a bit of their composure,
24:46yeah?
24:46Say things they didn't intend to.
24:48Is that right?
24:49In my experience.
24:53That's the wrong side.
24:55No, it isn't.
24:56I'm driving.
24:58Oh, come on.
24:59I don't get to drive much in London.
25:09You've noticed we drive on the other side of the road.
25:11Right?
25:12Hey, I'm a detective.
25:13Nothing gets past me.
25:14I'm used to automatics.
25:43Not old jeeps with rusty gears.
25:48There's a knack.
25:49You have to...
25:49No, no, no.
25:49I've got it.
25:54See?
25:54It's only a little dent.
26:17I can hardly see it.
26:21Shall I drive, sir?
26:23And another thing.
26:24I've been driving that jeep for years without a problem.
26:29The first time you drive it, you damage it.
26:32Mm-mm.
26:33OK, people, gather round.
26:35Talk to me.
26:36Please.
26:39OK.
26:40So, Susie Montagu arrives to work at Healing Skin yesterday morning.
26:45Makes a toast to their new product, Palo, before suffering a fatal anaphylactic shock.
26:52An EpiPen was administered by head of research, Carrie Standish.
26:57But it was ineffective.
27:00And we don't know why.
27:02OK, where are we with the infinity symbols?
27:05We're great.
27:06Really great, sir.
27:08Turns out, I know someone.
27:10Who knows someone.
27:12Who knows someone else.
27:15Which is funny.
27:16Because it turns out we're not the same guy.
27:18The first guy.
27:19The guy said, I know.
27:20Yes, right, sorry.
27:24So, good news.
27:26I've got a number.
27:28Hmm?
27:29Well, that is good news.
27:31So, you called the number, pretended to be an interesting client?
27:34Yes.
27:36Totally.
27:37I mean, no.
27:40Not yet.
27:41But, I was gearing up to do that.
27:44Come on, it sounds new to me, you know, this whole undercover thing.
27:48Undercover?
27:50Actually, that's not a bad idea.
27:52Um, sir, I...
27:53Officer Rose, I need you to text that number.
27:56Ask about the merch.
27:57Say you need sorting for a party tonight.
27:59Arrange a meet-up.
28:00Officer Curtis, I want you to be eyes on nearby.
28:02As soon as the money and the merch change hands, nick them.
28:05Well, I better get changed.
28:07Well, come on then.
28:08Because if these two symbols are connected, the dealer knew Susie Montague,
28:12which means they might also know something about what happened to her.
28:15Yeah?
28:15True.
28:17Yeah?
28:17Yeah.
28:18Well, come on, then.
28:18The clock's ticking.
28:19Chop, chop.
28:20Let's go.
28:20Stop it.
28:30Your drink.
28:31Thank you, sir.
28:47You all right?
28:49Hey.
28:49How'd you get my number?
28:54From a friend.
28:56Sleepy Pete.
28:58Right, yeah.
28:59And how'd he get it?
29:00From him, friend.
29:02Silent song.
29:04Who?
29:05Got it from his auntie.
29:06He likes to party.
29:10Got my money?
29:11Stop.
29:11It's the police.
29:24It's the police.
29:25Yes.
29:26I know who it is.
29:28What did you spoke here for?
29:30I never do it on purpose.
29:32This fell out.
29:32And grab my tings.
29:34And grab my tings.
29:36I don't mean the street name.
29:47I want to know what it actually is.
29:48Yeah, snake venom as in venom from snakes.
29:54They're the same snakes we've seen at Healing Skin.
29:56Well, hang on.
29:57Let me get this straight.
29:59You're selling snake venom as some kind of party drug.
30:03It's 100% natural high.
30:08Pretty new on the scene, but it's making waves.
30:10But you have to get the doses just right, otherwise it can be pretty nasty.
30:14So Healing Skin is a drug factory?
30:17What?
30:18No.
30:19God, no.
30:19No one knows how I'm doing this.
30:22Susan's great, but the money was rubbish.
30:24I needed a topper-upper.
30:27100 a bag, right?
30:29And how much are you clearing every week?
30:30I only work weekends and a few hundred, maybe.
30:34Nice little learner.
30:36And you extract the venom yourself.
30:39Isn't that dangerous?
30:41I used to work on a snake farm.
30:43Of course you did.
30:44So what makes you think Susie didn't know about this?
30:48She never said nothing to me, and I figured that if she did, she probably would have.
30:53Hmm.
30:54How do you explain this, then?
30:55Where'd you get that?
30:57Found it in Susie's bag.
30:58And these earnings are from your little sideline,
31:00where you're making way more than a few hundred a week.
31:04Susie knew what you were doing.
31:06I didn't do anything to Susie.
31:09I liked her.
31:10She was good to me.
31:11I might have been doing a bit of extracurricular here and there, but that was it, I swear.
31:21The thing with Serb, I can tell he's really trying, but I feel more like a babysitter than a training officer.
31:35Perhaps the boy just needs time.
31:39Maybe.
31:40But right now, it's actually more work having him on the team.
31:43Are you planning on sharing these grievances with me, Officer Zarkathis?
31:50Commissioner, it's nothing, sir.
31:56Zeb made a small mistake on the undercover operation, which could have lost a self-suspect, but I've talked about it.
32:07Had he been adequately briefed?
32:11Yes, sir.
32:13Then have you considered that perhaps you might be the problem?
32:18Excuse me, sir?
32:22It wasn't so long ago that you were in the exact same shoes as Officer Rose.
32:31You asked me a question, sir, and I answered it as honestly as I could.
32:38Well, I've been thinking about encouraging you to study for your sergeant's exam.
32:46Perhaps that was a little hasty.
32:52If you excuse me.
33:02Don't mind him.
33:04He's got a lot on his mind.
33:06Cheers.
33:08Listen.
33:13I really appreciate you helping me with this.
33:17No problem, sir.
33:18And I owe you an apology.
33:21I didn't mean to bite your head off at the house.
33:25It's okay.
33:27I was being...
33:29A nosy parker?
33:31Yes.
33:32Whatever that is.
33:33It's just that, apart from Dorna, I've never had a proper family.
33:44I was brought up in care.
33:45I'm so sorry, sir.
33:58Don't be.
34:00It's just water under the bridge.
34:03Life goes on, right?
34:04And before you ask, I don't know why my mum couldn't bring me up.
34:12Anyway, I've checked Dorna's browsing history.
34:15Look.
34:16No other warning about an incoming storm.
34:21Look at the date she viewed it.
34:27It's the day she died.
34:30You were right, sir.
34:32Dorna knew about the storm, but she still went out on that boat.
34:36It doesn't make any sense.
34:39It's definitely suspicious.
34:43Okay.
34:45We need to build a timeline of everything Dorna did
34:47and everyone she spoke to leading up to the incident.
34:50It's time to get some answers.
35:01No.
35:03Excuse me.
35:03Catherine, this is a surprise.
35:05Last night, Selwyn, in all the years I've known you,
35:10you've never spoken to your offices like that.
35:13No, no.
35:13I don't have the time.
35:15Oh, you're right.
35:16Too busy sitting here, feeling sorry for yourself.
35:19Are you finished?
35:21No.
35:26If you told your team what was going on,
35:30instead of pushing them away,
35:32they would support you.
35:34Because they're loyal.
35:35And they respect you.
35:39They deserve the same in return,
35:42starting with Darlene.
35:43Someone's up early.
35:57Before you start, this is Daisy's phone.
35:59thought we might find something.
36:01So, I went through the messages, car logs,
36:06and now I'm going through the photos.
36:08Thought I'd use some of that initiative y'all is going on about.
36:12Morning, team.
36:13Morning, sir.
36:13I'm going through the photos.
36:15Okay.
36:17Updates.
36:18Coroner got in touch.
36:19Said there were no traces of peanut oil found on Susie's fingers.
36:22Okay, so, Susie Montagu dies from anaphylaxis brought on by ingesting peanut oil.
36:33We do not yet know how anyone managed to get it into her mouth without her realising.
36:37And there were no traces of the substance anywhere on the premises.
36:40So, basically, we haven't got a scooby how it was done.
36:43We do, however, have three suspects.
36:46Guys, I think you should see this.
36:49Look.
36:50In the background, it's Carrie.
36:53See who's got their armour on her?
36:55The bracelet.
36:56Oh.
36:57Is that not Steve's?
37:05Looks like it was taken a month ago.
37:07The same time, Susie filed for divorce.
37:11And when she changed her mind about Carrie being a director at Healing Skin.
37:17Well, if Susie found out that Steve and Carrie were having an affair,
37:21that puts them both firmly in the frame, doesn't it?
37:31No, no, no.
37:33Don't stand up on our account.
37:36Well, this is nice, isn't it?
37:38Just like the photo we saw of you two snuggling up on Daisy's phone.
37:41It's not what you think.
37:43What, there's nothing going on between you two?
37:45No.
37:48Yes, we had a thing, but not anymore.
37:51And you finished when?
37:53Around the time your wife asked for a divorce?
37:54It was stupid.
37:56We were both lonely.
37:57Just happened.
37:58We're not proud of it.
38:00And that's why Susie withdrew your directorship.
38:02She discovered your dirty little secret.
38:04Isn't that right, Carrie?
38:06Susie did find out, yes.
38:08But she forgave me.
38:09The business was far more important to her, and she needed me.
38:13And you, Mr. Montagu, your affair was the real reason Susie was divorcing you.
38:20But if you got rid of her before the divorce went through, then everything would come to you, right?
38:25And you'd be able to start over with Carrie.
38:28I was weak.
38:29Granted, but I loved Susie.
38:31If you think Steve or myself have anything to do with her death, then you're wrong.
38:36You're sure you've got the hang of this, sir?
38:53What about our lovebirds?
38:55Do you believe them?
38:56They never would have admitted their affair if we hadn't found them out, so maybe they're hiding something else.
39:06Sir, watch out!
39:17Well done, sir.
39:19You almost hit the exact same spot.
39:22Again.
39:23As if the debt needed to get any bigger.
39:26The exact same spot?
39:30DS Thomas!
39:31Either get in the car or get out of the way!
39:33What?
39:36What are you...
39:37Inspector Wilson!
39:53Just like the bruise.
39:56Must be the site of the injection.
39:59Likely from the EpiPen.
40:00Well, Carrie Stanley said she'd never administered one before, so probably a bit rough with you.
40:06Yes.
40:07And it absorbs really easily, too.
40:09Makes your skin feel like velvet.
40:11Look, look at me, see?
40:13It wasn't screwed on properly in the video.
40:16The level of adrenaline in her system matches the dosage given by the pen.
40:22We've been looking in the wrong place the whole time.
40:24That was your Susie Montague's handbag.
40:26And these are innings from your little sideline, where you're making way more than a few hundred a week.
40:32That has to be it.
40:35Call Officer Curtis.
40:36I want that notebook checked.
40:38I own the coroner, too.
40:39I want to run another test.
40:40If I'm right, I know who our killer is.
40:42Now, two questions have been bothering me from the start of this case.
41:00First question.
41:02How did Susie ingest peanut oil?
41:06You see, on the morning she died, she'd been fasting for several hours.
41:11And the post-mortem confirmed there was nothing in her system.
41:16Second question.
41:17Why didn't the EpiPen work?
41:20I mean, it got the adrenaline into her system, as it had always done, whenever she experienced anaphylaxis.
41:27So why didn't it work this time?
41:29And then, it hit me.
41:34Actually, it was me that hit something.
41:36Sorry, DS Thomas.
41:38But it provided me with the answers to both those questions.
41:42Answers which were actually quite simple.
41:43The EpiPen didn't work because Susie was not in anaphylactic shock.
41:51Despite the presence of peanut oil in her mouth, peanuts had nothing to do with Susie's death.
42:00Isn't that right, Carrie?
42:05I'm sorry, what?
42:07You killed Susie Montagu.
42:09But you didn't do it with peanuts.
42:11You did it with snake venom.
42:13Officer Rose.
42:16Here you go, sir.
42:18I said, bring the snake venom.
42:22Not the actual snake.
42:24Oh, sorry.
42:25My bad.
42:27Thanks to Daisy, we know that snake venom in small quantities can be taken as a natural high.
42:33But too high a dosage is fatal.
42:37You have to get the dosage just right, otherwise it can be pretty nasty.
42:40Um, I think we've seen enough of that, Officer Rose.
42:45Come on, Delroy.
42:45We assumed that the significant bruising on Susie's thigh was because you were heavy-handed with the EpiPen.
42:55But it was because you had already injected a minute before with the snake venom.
42:59Oh, wow.
43:01Well done, you.
43:03That's amazing.
43:09You knew you had around 10 minutes before the venom took effect.
43:12The symptoms of which, and this is the clever bit, would mimic anaphylaxis and ultimately cause respiratory shutdown.
43:20But it was essential that everyone, especially the coroner, believed Susie's death to be anaphylaxis from peanuts.
43:28An accident.
43:29And so when Susie finally collapsed, you made sure that you were the one to inject the EpiPen in the same spot you had injected the venom, where you knew a bruised had already before me.
43:43Two injection sites made to look like one.
43:48Genius.
43:49Once I realised that, I knew the killer could only be you.
43:53But you still had to get peanut traces into Susie's system to back up the anaphylaxis theory.
43:58So what did you do?
44:01You put peanut oil on your fingers.
44:04And as you pretended to check Susie's airway, you transferred the oil from your fingers into Susie's mouth.
44:12With everyone believing Susie had died from anaphylaxis, you knew the snake venom wouldn't be a detective in a post-mortem unless the coroner was looking for it, which he wasn't.
44:23So we asked him to look again.
44:26Guess what you found?
44:27But nah, I don't get it.
44:28How could she have injected Susie with the snake venom without unnoticing?
44:34Susie had filmed a promotional video for Pelur at her home earlier that morning.
44:39Makes your skin feel like velvet.
44:41Look, silky smooth.
44:42See?
44:44That the lid of the jar was left wonky in the video.
44:47But when we found the jar, it was screwed on correctly.
44:50You knew Susie would be filming that video ahead of the Pelur launch.
44:55We believe you added numbing cream to the jar of Pelur before later swapping the jar out.
45:02We asked the lab, and they found lidocaine, a powerful numbing agent on Susie's skin.
45:08I don't understand.
45:10I don't understand.
45:10Why would you do this?
45:11Greed.
45:13Pure and simple.
45:15Susie removed Carrie as a director when she discovered her affair with you.
45:19All that potential coinage down the drain because of a little indiscretion.
45:24But you weren't going to let that go, were you?
45:26So you saw another opportunity.
45:29Your extensive time in Big Pharma meant you knew all about snake venom and how lucrative
45:34it could be as a recreational drug.
45:37We reckon you discovered Daisy's little drug-dealing sideline and persuaded her to increase production.
45:43And under the cover of Healing Skin, you started smuggling the venom Daisy was making.
45:48We found this in Susie's bag.
45:52Weights, measurements, prices, and profits.
45:58We had the handwriting compared to some sales notes you'd written.
46:03They're a match.
46:06Steve overheard you and Susie arguing and assumed it was about the business.
46:12But you were arguing about the venom, weren't you?
46:15Look, it's a very generous offer.
46:17I don't want to cut, Carrie.
46:18What the hell is wrong with you?
46:19It's unethical not to mention an eagle.
46:22But you had no intention of stopping.
46:25The venom was worth way too much.
46:27And that's why Susie had to die.
46:32Officer Curtis, Officer Rose.
46:36No, I didn't kill anyone, though.
46:38Sorry, kiddo.
46:38There's still the drug-dealing thing.
46:40Can't let that fly.
46:43Come on.
46:44There you go, Mervyn.
47:05Welcome.
47:06We had to drag in here.
47:10So you got the footy on then?
47:12Footy?
47:15Sorry, the football.
47:17Where's it screening?
47:17I mean, no.
47:21My bar is for talking, not television.
47:26Well, you said that...
47:28Oh, great.
47:31You got me.
47:33Well done.
47:33After a case, it's tradition.
47:37OK.
47:38Right then.
47:39Here's to tradition.
47:41Cheers.
47:42Seriously, though, guys.
47:44Nice work today.
47:45Special credit goes to Sepp.
47:48Ignoring the undercover or...
47:52But you found us some spicy leads today.
47:57Evening, Commissioner.
47:59Good evening, officers.
48:01I just wanted to say congratulations
48:04on solving what I know was a difficult case.
48:12And...
48:13It seems I have an apology to make.
48:17Firstly...
48:19To you, Officer Curtis...
48:22That during our recent conversation...
48:26I was rather...
48:28Severe.
48:32For that...
48:34I am sorry.
48:36And...
48:38I think you will make an exceedingly fine sergeant.
48:43One day.
48:45You are an asset to this team.
48:48And there's also a second apology I have to make.
48:54I have been...
48:57Keeping something from you, which...
49:01On the advice of a trusted friend...
49:05I have decided to share with you all...
49:11The position...
49:14Of St. Marie...
49:16Police Commissioner...
49:20Is being phased out.
49:24I...
49:26I...
49:27Am being phased out.
49:32They can't.
49:37I'm a friend they can.
49:40And...
49:42They are.
49:45Good evening.
49:46I suppose it's going to feel strange for you guys...
49:48...without Commissioner Patterson around.
49:49Yeah.
49:50I've never met a guy like him.
49:52I don't think I've processed it yet.
49:53Anyway.
49:54I'll see you tomorrow.
49:55Sir...
49:56Um...
49:57I asked her aunt...
49:58... like his dad...
49:59...
50:00...
50:01I don't think I've processed it yet.
50:04Anyway.
50:05I'll see you tomorrow.
50:06Commissioner Patterson around.
50:08Yeah.
50:10I never met a guy like him.
50:12I don't think I've processed it yet.
50:18Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow.
50:20Sir, um...
50:23I asked her aunt, like you said, about Dornell.
50:28I spoke to the harbour master who was working the night she died.
50:33And...
50:35And what?
50:37She called the harbour master from the boat.
50:42During the storm?
50:48The call was recorded.
50:53It's a hard listen.
51:05But the water...
51:06It's a hard one.
51:07Yeah?
51:09It's a hard one.
51:10I have no GPS.
51:40No, not this side.
51:42I don't know where I am.
51:44Hello?
51:46Hello? Hello?
51:48Hello? Hello?
51:50Hello, Miss?
52:10Inspector?
52:16Commissioner, you're right.
52:18About my mother.
52:22Oh.
52:24Turns out it really was an accident.
52:26A refutable proof.
52:30So I'm shutting the case down.
52:34Not an easy decision, I'm sure.
52:38Yeah.
52:40About that.
52:42The right one.
52:46Anyway, thanks.
52:48For you and me.
52:54Goodnight, Commissioner.
52:56Goodnight.
53:08To do in business.
53:18Minutes before Patrick Ambrose is about to sign a contract.
53:22He ends up dead.
53:24How could the killer be certain that Patrick could pour a lethal dose into his own glass and not into everyone else's?
53:28Just got shivers when he said that.
53:30There's something I know that I should probably tell the police.
53:32I wouldn't waste your time listening to gossip.
53:34Sometimes I feel like I'm not doing enough.
53:36What's the new approach?
53:37I'm gonna do too much.
53:38What's the matter with you?
53:39You are.
53:40Something tells me we're not talking about the c-
53:41What's the difference?
53:47You what?
53:48What?
53:50I'm gonna do too much.
53:51What's the matter with you?
53:52You are.
53:53much. What's the matter with you? You are. Something tells me we're not talking about the
