autopsy report's in, sir. death by asphyxiation. embedded fibers seem to confirm a pillow was used. bruising on her chest suggests that a knee or forearm was used to hold her down. and there were some more coins found lodged in her throat. four, to be precise, i'd imagine. yes. as we know, the victim's real name was rose duchamp. it seems her killer was a man from her past. we think he's based in antigua, part of a money-laundering ring worth... hundreds of millions of dollars. rose had information that could've put this man behind bars, and she called london after two years of living a new life, a new identity. why? she was in fear of her life. you think she saw him? do we have a description of this man? nothing. and even if we did, i doubt it would help. why not? for two years, this guy's been one step ahead of us. if he killed rose duchamp in the early hours of this morning, he's probably left the island by now.

not necessarily. look, you don't get it. the man is a ghost. we don't know what he looks like, we don't even know what he's called. the only person who could positively identify him was murdered this morning. i think he's almost certainly still on the island. he's a professional. he's hardly gonna hang around. that's precisely why he will. only an amateur would try and leave the island within hours of the murder taking place, thereby drawing attention to himself. no. he's still here. that's why this case has never really got started. camille: what? there was no traction. no one who quite hit the spot, because the killer's a professional. we don't even know who we're looking for. ah, but we do. we may not know his name, or what he looks like, but we know why he killed rose duchamp, we know how, and we know when. we also know he's still on the island. which means, quite possibly, for the first time, we're one step ahead of him. d.i. ricketts,

can you give us access to the existing files - and help us to know what you know? - yes. yes, of course. - fidel. - you can use my desk, sir. check with the airlines. see if you can get a passenger list for all flights from antigua during the past month. - okay. - dwayne. background. run checks on all the neighbors, see if any of them have links to antigua. - just in case he wasn't working alone. - yes, chief. anyone needs me, i'll be at the crime scene. detective inspector. just the man. actually, i'm in something of a hurry, sir. - five minutes. - well, i... - all right. - not in there. come on. i'll buy you a cold drink. hi. you have to get yourself your drinks.

aidan's cooked me a farewell lunch. he flies home tomorrow. i'm sure i'll be back. it's very beautiful here. oh, sorry. my manners. aidan, this is camille's boss. - inspector poole. - inspector. richard, please. - i've heard a lot about you. - oh? camille likes to talk. a lot. family trait. and this is selwyn patterson, the police commissioner - for saint-marie. - aidan miles. pleasure to meet you. please, don't let us disturb your lunch. this is a little bit cloak and dagger, isn't it? i have something i need to talk to you about. oh? what's this?

i've been talking to your superintendent in london. the detective they have brought in to cover for you has finished his attachment. sorry. i don't understand. it's a human resources thing. before they can offer him the position permanently, the guidelines state you must be offered the position first. what? that's the number for the human resources officer dealing with the case. if you ring her, you can have your old job back. i can have my old job back. i can go back to london and not be hot, or have sand everywhere. yes. or, of course, you can stay here. ah. i can go to the white hart. sit in the snug with a pint in my hand. yes, you could.

i thought it best if i told you alone to give you time to make your decision. no. yeah, yeah. absolutely. no, i shall have to think long and hard. ooh, it's a tough one. but, um... you have to phone today. what? the last day they can keep the job offer open for you is today. 6:00 p.m., u.k. time. that's in two hours. what?! and when exactly did the super ring you? it wasn't today, was it? not as such, no. and it wasn't yesterday, was it? no. it was long before today, but you didn't want me to know. you were hoping it would go away. you're leading a good team here, detective inspector. that's no excuse. i'd like you to stay.

i wanna go home. i know. then i suggest you make the call. i was just... can't stop. there's a call i gotta make. oh, you'll be the best dad, fidel. but he'll need his uncle dwayne to teach him about a few things. really? like what? women, motor bikes, climbing trees. i can climb trees. hello. sorry. yes. this is office fidel best, calling from honore police station. that was quick, chief. if we cross-reference the passenger list against the hotels and see where they were staying, we can find out who can account for their movements, and we can dismiss a huge amount of them. right. women, children, elderly. good thinking. but the truth is, we have no way of knowing whether he got the information rose was hiding.

we have to assume he has. i'm sorry, but how can we expect to solve this puzzle if inspector ricketts has been on it for years and not got anywhere? - wait. - got something? ooh. well, that's, um... ooh. fidel: selim. it means safe. uh... camille: nadia selim, 30 years old. lived at this address for a little under two years. why would she keep a vet's bill that's two years old? oh, that's brilliant. that's superb.

nearly two hours. i've got time. right, exciting news. at least, exciting for me. so i'll stop being english, and buy you all a drink. meet me across the road. say bon voyage. yeah. in one hour. only i've gotta go pick up georgie westcott first. i'll see you there. drinks are on me! i wouldn't mind, you know. mind what? if you wanted him to move in. i can find a place. thank you, but we are a little way from that yet. just a little way? stop it. i heard he cooked you lasagna. which was very nice. i'm happy you're not alone. hearing you laugh, watching you dance.

oh, i always dance. why are you arguing with me? i'm trying to give you my blessing here. i know. - thank you. - but i'm not calling him dad. hello? ah, sorry, everyone. sorry. half an hour left. perfect. i might have to jump around a bit, because i never really looked at it the way it was designed as a puzzle. once i did, i got it. at least i think i have. got what? i think i know where to find our killer. catherine: how exciting. should we really be doing this here? well, yes, because as soon as we're done, i've got an announcement to make, so we don't have to come back here anyway. i thought we may as well, you know... can we just get on with it? hey, that's the chief. this case has been a puzzle right from the start, quite literally. firstly, the murder of nadia, as you knew her, rose duchamp, who she really was, was carried out with a kind of professional attention to detail

none of the suspects we could find were capable of. according to inspector ricketts, we know that rose came to saint-marie to run away from her past. more specifically, the lover she discovered to be a criminal. she at first intended to hand him over to the police, but was clearly got to before arrangements could be made. um, it's strange that someone managed to get to her so easily if she was under police protection, don't you think? but can we be sure that it was rose's criminal ex-lover that murdered her, and not the lascivious boss or the cranky neighbor, jacko gardiner, or the somewhat resentful friend, georgie westcott. i think we can. you see, the biggest clue to the identity of the killer was the coins found stuffed in the victim's mouth. on the surface, something of a random act,

until you realize there were 26 coins, plus a further four found lodged in her throat. thirty pieces of silver. judas. so this was a message that she was killed for betraying someone. exactly that. someone who wanted others to know the penalty for such a betrayal. now we have mystery number two. the house was searched, so the killer was clearly looking for something, but what? logically, it had to be the information we're told - rose had promised the police. - makes sense. but rose gave an envelope to her neighbor for safe keeping, so it occurred to me, if she knew that she was in danger, that her past had caught up with her, then why leave the information in the house? why not give it to her neighbor for safe keeping, as well? then it hit me. that's exactly what she did. when the killer broke into rose's house last night, he had no idea that the key piece of information he needed wasn't there.

i think he saw rose with a policeman, and knew he had to act. obviously, the locks on the door would've proved too much of an obstacle to him. we know that harry, rose's dog, barked at strangers. yet none of the witnesses heard a dog barking after midnight. so we can be sure that harry knew the killer. and as rose brought the dog with her from antigua, i'm assuming he recognized the killer instantly. in fact, i'd hazard a guess that harry here will run straight to the killer. camille: you mean the killer's here? oh, yes. he was here last night, which is why rose was frightened. why, when she saw a police officer, she made sure she made him take her home. wait. you said rose left some information with her neighbor.

i thought it was just cash and a passport. yeah. and this. a vet's bill. $75 for identity-chipping harry. but if you accept that the victim gave her neighbor all her most valued possessions, then the very thing that brought her to saint-marie must also be in there, and if it wasn't the passport or the cash, then it had to be this vet's bill. wasn't until an hour ago that it occurred to me how she did it. so georgie and i took harry to see the vet to have the chip removed. only to discover that it wasn't a pet identity chip. it was a memory chip. no doubt containing all the incriminating files rose told the police in antigua about. i'm sure the identity of rose duchamp's killer is on here, along with enough evidence to convict him. so all we have to do is run it through the computer. yes, but, uh, she left us one last clue.

you see, rose was incredibly bright. she loved to play games, solve puzzles. and the final clue is the most damning of all. it's also the simplest to solve, once you know how. ricketts: so what is it? she knew that if anything happened to her, it was the last chance she had to expose the person she was running from. it's the name that she gave herself when she came to saint-marie. nadia... selim. anyone? any good crossword enthusiast, as rose was, knows to look out for an anagram. or, as in this case, words that work equally well

when spelled backwards. it was you, aidan, wasn't it? you killed rose duchamp. it was you who approached her in her sleep, and killed her before searching her house. you're the man she was running from, the ex-boyfriend at the heart of the money-laundering ring she's finally exposed. you came to saint-marie almost two weeks ago, you've been looking for rose ever since you got here. you found her last night. take him away. (phone rings)

- two years. - took us one day. at least i get to go home. home! what did i do with the paper? wait. hold on. sir, the baby's coming. - what? - juliet. you know, she's... the baby, it's coming! - then go! - yeah, go, go. go! you process him, i'll bring the car round. - what? - no, i'll process him. you bring the car round. i'll lock him up, then we'll follow fidel. (juliet screaming) i don't seem to have any signal.

i don't suppose anybody else has got any, have they? what's more important than fidel's baby? sir. you don't... have any signal? no. sorry. (baby crying) i'm a daddy! well done, fidel. so... did you make the call? you know i didn't. good. you decided to stay. no, not exactly. i just couldn't... i'm sorry, sir, but you tricked me again. i find that very underhanded. would you like to make an official complaint? - who to? - the police commissioner.

- that's you, isn't it? - yes. this is my daughter. you sure? congratulations, fidel. i'm very happy for you. thank you, sir. there's nothing quite as glorious as a new life. no. you can hold her, sir, if you want. oh, actually, uh... never held a baby before. then it's about time you did. (stammering) yes, great. oh, hello. oh, god, she's just been sick on me. sorry. what do we do now?

it's okay. i'll take her. yeah, please do. i'm so sorry. i made her sick. murderers. i'm so much more comfortable with murderers than i am with babies. i'll take her back to her mother. maman. - are you all right? - i'm always all right. good night, richard. - good night. hello. over here. thanks. aren't you going to sit down?

ooh, down here? uh, yeah. - on the sand? - yes. i was starting to think you'd loosen up a bit. i am. i mean, sitting on the beach, beer in hand. free spirit. i'm virtually feral. hardly. all the time you've been here, have you learned anything, or changed your opinion, maybe? - yeah. - oh. there is something i've realized, something i suppose it's taken me a long time to notice. yes? something i've really come to appreciate more than i thought i would. what? my own company. now what have i done? nothing. - that is so annoying. - i'm annoying?

- yes. - you're so english! being english doesn't mean you're annoying. oh, yes, it does. well, if you don't mind me saying so, i think that's very childish. and very french. excuse me. and what has being french got to do with it? - you started it. - no, i didn't. - oh. aah! - what? - i've got sand in my eyes. - (laughing) stop laughing. i'm dying here. i've got sand in my eye. stop being a baby.

that a famous connection can make all the difference to the value of a prized possession? all will become clear on today's "priceless antiques roadshow." ( theme music playing ) one of the things i've learned since starting on the "antiques roadshow" is that no matter how many items you see, there's always a surprise in store, and today's selection is no exception. think your objects have been touched by fame? we hear from a lady with a cast-iron claim.

- and you nursed winston churchill? - yes, that is correct. it seems strange, but she seemed to be completely undaunted by the fact that she was working for such a famous man. a chance find during an attic clear-out has life-changing consequences... mo blundy: when paul atterbury said that these are wonderful, i just was amazed, utterly amazed. ...and a lesson in self-control from the experts. probably the finest bits of silver i have ever seen on an "antiques roadshow." alastair dickenson: it is quite difficult to almost keep a straight face because you are so itching to tell them that it's worth a huge amount of money. the "antiques roadshow" is no stranger to the lives and loves of the rich and famous. rock legends, sporting heroes, politicians, princesses-- they all turn out when the show comes to town. or at least their possessions do. but what can a celebrated connection add to an item's value?

bruce: it's not good just claiming a link to the stars, you've got to prove it. boy: it's one of john mcenroe's old rackets. - expert: oh, the great john mcenroe. - yeah. i have to do it, just to say that i've strummed marc bolan's guitar. bruce: and what better proof than having been handed the item by the star themselves? absolutely, the boxes are actually-- they're handmade cigars, churchills, which were his own, obviously-- terribly fascinating. well, normally you wouldn't really bother with cigars. but these were obviously from churchill. and how she got them-- marvelous story. farahar: so this is the society of chartered nurses, sister a.m. wright. you're sister wright, are you? that's right. i was sister wright. you were sister wright and you nursed winston churchill. yes, that's correct. i came down from the north of england to london, joined the society of chartered nurses-- very smart sounding name--

bruce: in his old age, churchill needed constant medical care. inevitably, the services of nursing staff were sometimes called upon with very little notice. and then i received a telegram asking me if i wouldn't mind joining the boss on a cruise around the aegean, so i felt i couldn't really refuse that. it seems strange, but she seemed to be completely undaunted by the fact that she was working for such a famous man. but there again, you know, there he was. he was probably in his 90s, and she was probably in her 20s, and i suppose what she saw was a rather old man, really. you've got a wonderful collection of little bits and pieces from winston churchill. you've got three cigars. now tell me, why three cigars? four cigars. we used to sit next to him, you know? one nurse with sir winston after his meal-- just the two of us. he would have a cigar and he would hand over the box, you see.

and i think he thought it was quite amusing that this young strip of a girl would say, "thank you very much." but if a nurse is to receive cigars, or even letting their patient smoke-- it's not a good idea, is it? you couldn't stop-- i don't think you could stop him, no. to be frank, if she had not had a story to go with the churchill memorabilia, they could've come from anywhere. churchill cigars with the provenance that you have, that you got all these letters, and the fact that they're in a churchill box and all that sort of thing, i would say somewhere in the region of £1500... - good grief. - ...to £2,000 possibly. it was only the fact of the glue-- her story-- the cohesion of all these things together made them absolutely perfect, and wonderful items to collect. bruce: sometimes, though, such claims to fame aren't quite so watertight, a lesson learned by presenter phillippa forrester when she joined hilary kay at a children's "roadshow." - my mom was in... - yes?

...was in the beatle's fan club, and they actually signed it. - there's paul mccartney there. - yes. kay: paul mccartney, john lennon, george harrison, ringo starr. and is there some more stuff in there then? yeah, um... 'cause my mom, um... went to see the first film, "magic mystery tour." forrester: this is a private screening of the "magical mystery tour." boy: yeah, and she got that signed as well. - forrester: there's john lennon there. - did she meet them? - boy: yeah. - kay: cor, rummy. with beatles' signatures, i suppose 90% of the signatures that you see aren't right for all sorts of reasons. they're either printed or they are written by a member of the roadie group. there are very few out there that are right. kay: now that one is the actual invitation to the screening. that's genuine. i mean, the fact that she met them and she got them signed. - yeah. - now--

hold on though. th has come from the fan club signed. how many members of the fan club do you think there were? - must have been thousands. - thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands. ( screaming ) now if they had signed everything that they're supposed to have signed, they would never have had any time to do anything else but. you know, they'd have been sitting there for 10 years, doing nothing but signing photographs. kay: right. this one, the fan club christmas card, because they had to send out thousands and thousands, they got somebody else to do the signatures for them. boy: yeah, 'cause they don't exactly look the same. - you're absolutely right. - there's not a curl on that. dead right. and look at the way the "g" is done. - yeah. - that's a good-- yeah. once you've seen quite a lot of them, it's quite easy to tell. but you must tell your mom not to be too disappointed because at least she's got one that's right. and that's actually quite valuable. that would be worth £200. yes, i can say that is paul mccartney's signature

and it's real. but how did you get it? that's much more interesting. so the question i always ask clients when they bring things in is: what is the history? or what is the provenance? because that adds a huge amount to the value. well, this was owned by george formby. - the george formby? - my hero, yes. ♪ and as you go to the club... ♪ bruce: star of stage and screen, george formby became famous during the 1930s for singing and playing the ukulele. enormously popular, he endeared himself to his audiences with his cheeky lancashire humor. if this really is his kimono, it will be highly sought-after. my father purchased this in 1961 when george formby-- all his effects were put up for auction. and this was one of the prized possessions. isn't that wonderful? which was used in the film "south american george" in 1941. and how do we know that? i mean, it's ideal with the kimono when somebody can turn up and you ask the question, "how do you know that it's george formby's kimono?"

and there he pulls out-- here's a photograph. we have some prints from, actually, from the film. and there is george wearing this gown. and then there's a scene in the film where he's-- the actual kimono is stabbed through with a knife and he could show me the hole. and there's the very patch that the studio put on. - isn't that wonderful? - so we know it's-- - it's the proper thing. - it's the proper thing. baddeley: so there's no question about it. it was that kimono that we can see in the photograph, and if you're a buyer, you know, that gives you much more confidence to keep on bidding. if you did put this into auction, we're probably thinking of a figure in excess of £10,000. so... well, i'd never put george formby and a kimono together before. but hearing a great story like that, i can see why our specialists love their job. but i sometimes wonder what first inspired them in their chosen career.
