相遇的时候 他们是来自不同世界的人 in The Flame Tree, they are worlds apart.
Esther去哪儿了？ Where did Esther go?
顯而易見地這座島的美麗不僅如此… And it's easy to see how the beauty not only of this island...
也許我該出去找找她了 Maybe I should go and look for her.
不 不 现在不要 No, no. Not now.
欢迎我们今日欢聚的这座房舍 它们的美丽 ...all gathered today inspires Sylvie Baptiste.
都给了Sylvie Baptiste灵感 这片宅地很大程度上... This estate is very much...
就是在这个神圣之地 It's in this sacred place
Donald領略到了非洲巫術的强大力量 that Donald learns about the power of Obeah.
抱歉 Sorry.
就是在这里 他买到了一組愛情魔咒 It's here that he buys a love-spell,
这魔咒可以将Iris与他结合 即使她并不情愿 one that will bind Iris to him, even against her will.
投下红色的迷雾 ...throwing a red haze...
穿過他們之間 此舉讓艾莉絲想要逃跑 ...through them, the setting for Iris' attempted escape...

现在 讓我为大家朗讀一下這本小说 Let me read to the text at this point.
“心臟在她的胸膛裡像烈火般燃燒 "Her heart was burning in her chest.
她聽見他的聲音在身後的花園里响起 "But she heard his voice in the garden behind her,
呼唤她远离悬崖峭壁 "calling her away from the cliffs.
但她想看到悬崖之外的世界 "But she wanted to see over the cliff.
跃过茫茫大海 "Over the water,
一直到地平线之外 "all the way to the horizon and beyond it."
天堂岛疑云 第六季第2集
我從來就不知道局长的報告這麼有趣 长官 Never realised the Commissioner's reports were so much fun, sir.
他整个一周脸上都是这种微笑 Had that smile on his face all week.
就像我奶奶在喝萊姆酒時的样子 Just like me granny when she'd been at the rum.
我们可以理解为 你和Martha进展的不错吗 Do we take it things are going well with Martha?
可以這麼說 Florence Could say that, Florence.
可以這麼說 Could say that.
她剩餘的几天假期都要搬來跟我住了 She's moving in for the rest of her stay.
-不错啊 头儿 -是啊 Nice one, Chief! Yes.
那她打算什麼時候搬進来住？ So when is she planning to move in?
這個週末 Florence End of the week, Florence,
等她從蒙特塞拉特回來以后 when she returns from Montserrat.
其實我需要有人幫我整理一下我的小棚屋 Actually, I could do with a hand at the shack.
我有些垃圾要清掉，讓房子看起来更像一个… Eh, I need to clear out some junk. Make it into more of a...
爱巢 Love shack?
太感谢了 Thank you very much.
长官 刚發現一名年輕女性的屍體 Sir, body of a young woman's just been found
地点在Malbonne庄园附近的海滩 on the beach of the Malbonne estate.
Malbonne?
那是Sylvie Baptiste的家 That's Sylvie Baptiste's home.
Sylvie Baptiste是谁？ So who is Sylvie Baptiste?
她写过一篇小说 我们上学时都学过 She wrote a novel we all studied at school.
故事就发生在聖瑪麗島 Set on Saint Marie.
-“火焰樹”么？ -你看过啊？ The Flame Tree? You've read it?
我是聽说過 Heard of it of course,
但我不知道故事就發生在這座島上 but I had no idea it was set on the island.
小说是讲一個英國男子他愛上了島上的一個女孩 It's about an Englishman who falls in love with an islander,
Iris 她以前是名奴隸 Iris, a former slave.
他不顧她的意愿，强行娶了她 He marries her against her will
当她意识到自己以另一种方式 and when she realises she's enslaved again,
又成为了奴隶 她自杀了 in a different way, she kills herself.
怎麼自杀的？ How?
是跳崖自杀的 She jumps from the cliffs.
醫護人員說她的傷 Well, the paramedics say her injuries
符合從高處墜落應有的状况 are consistent with a fall from this height.
JP在悬崖顶上她跳下來的地方拉上了警戒線 JP's up on the clifftop near where she fell cordoning it off.
死者的身份知道了嗎？ Do we know who she is?
她叫Esther Monroe Her name's Esther Monroe,
目前為住在英格兰的博士生 a PhD student currently living in England.
Esther Monroe?
Mmm-hmm.
我跟她以前是同學 I went to school with her.
真的？是你的朋友嗎？ Really? Was she a friend?
有段时间是的 For a while.
在我們都還十幾歲時 But she and her family moved to England
她和家人搬去了英國 when we were teenagers.
已經是很久以前的事了 A long time ago.
我很遺憾Florence 你還能繼續工作嗎？ Well, I'm sorry, Florence. Are you okay to carry on?
可以，没事的 Sure. Of course.
是谁发现的尸体？ So who found the body?
她的导师Anna Wolf 和她丈夫Oliver Her tutor, Anna Wolf, and her husband, Oliver.
他们发现她在庄园的 They went looking for her after she went
庆祝活动中不见了 就出来找她 missing from an event up at the house.
-庆祝活动？ -是文学日 An event? Literary festival.
就是读书啦 讲座啦 类似那一类的东西 You know, readings, lectures, you know, things like that.
如果那也能算是一种庆祝活动 If you can call that a festival.
她的手表摔坏了 停在1點25分 So, watch smashed and stopped at 1:25,
我們可以把这个判定为死亡時間 so I think we can call that time of death.
知道她多大年纪吗？ Do you know how old she would've been?
她比我小一岁 26 She was a year below me. So, 26.
真年轻 So young.
好了Dwayne 屍體可以移走了 Okay, Dwayne. We can release the body.
我們去上面看看吧 Then let's take a look up top.
-早 JP -早 长官 Morning, JP. Morning, sir.
警长 Sarge.
在小说里 So in the novel,
這是Iris墜崖的地方吧？ this is where Iris jumped from, right?
现在也算是个旅游景点了 It's become a bit of a tourist destination.
我想你們都讀過這本書了 You've all read it, I suppose?
當然了，長官，這是指定閱讀的書目 Of course, sir. It's required reading at school.
恐怕生长在这岛上的 I can't imagine anyone growing up
居民没人没看过 on this island having not read it.
也包括我 长官 And that includes me, Chief.
是我最爱的一本书 It's one of my favourites.
真的嗎？看來我也得补习一下功课了 Really, sounds like I've got some catching up to do.
好了 JP 你有什么发现吗？ Right, JP, what have you got?
長官，死者的包是在這裡找到了 Well, sir. The victim's bag was found just here.
我已经看過了 Uh, I've gone through it.
沒什麼特別的东西 And nothing out of the ordinary.
就钱包、筆、日記、笔记本电脑充電线 Purse, pen, diary, laptop cable.
以及…这个 And then... This.
“給我的家人 我很抱歉 我努力过 但沒辦法再這樣下去了
請原諒我，我愛你們，Esther上” "Please forgive me. I love you. Esther."
可怜的Esther Poor Esther.
Yes.
很奇怪 对么？ Strange, isn't it?
什麼很奇怪？ What is?
她在电脑上打的 That she chose to write that letter
这封信 打印出来再签字 on a computer, print it and then sign it.
似乎有些不带个人色彩 很正式 你不觉得吗 Seem somewhat impersonal, rather formal. Wouldn't you say?
萬寶龍墨水鋼筆 Montblanc fountain pen.
這可不便宜啊 These aren't cheap.
長官，你遇到什麼问题了嗎？ Is something troubling you, sir?
说实话 的确有点问题 JP Well, there is a bit, JP, if I'm honest.
那封遺書 不太对劲 It's that suicide note. It doesn't quite make sense.
因為不是手寫的嗎？ That it wasn't handwritten?
是的 Yes, that.
还有一点 Esther的签名是用圆珠笔写的 But also that Esther's signature is written in biro.
Esther用昂贵的墨水钢笔 Esther uses a rather expensive fountain pen
在日记里记录了所有安排 to write all her appointments in her diary.
但当她在给家人的遗书上签字时 But when it comes to signing her final letter to her family,
却用的是圆珠笔 she plumps for a biro.
就像我說的 很奇怪 對吧？ Like I say, strange. Isn't it?
長官，今天这里來了大約100名賓客 So, Chief, there are around about 100 guests here today.
Anna Wolf非常确定 Anna Wolf is pretty sure
在客人们今早到达这里之前 Esther didn't have any contact
Esther没有与他们中的任何人有过任何接触 with any of them until they arrived here this morning.
好吧 去和其他客人聊聊 Okay, then talk to the other guests,
确认一下Anna说的对不对 confirm whether Anna's right about that.
而且我們在Esther包裡找到的笔记本電源线 Also, the laptop cable we found in Esther's bag
说明她應該會有一台筆记本才對 看看附近能不能找到 would imply she has a laptop. See if you can find it hereabout.
是 头儿 Chief.
我是Humphrey Goodman督察 Er, DI Humphrey Goodman.
这是Florence Cassell警长 DS Florence Cassell.
據我了解你們是一起找到Esther的 I understand you both found Esther?
你们知道發生什麼事了嗎？ Do you have any idea what happened?
-是意外嗎？ -我們找到了一封遺書 Was it accidental? We found a note.
天啊！ Oh, God.
我知道你們現在不好受 I know this is a difficult time
但我必須問你們幾個問題 but I need to ask a few questions.
在Esther死前 你们最后一次见到她是什么时候 When did you last all see Esther alive?
我看到她離開了花園，時間大約… I noticed her leaving the garden, at about...
是1點15分 Quarter past one.
你確定嗎？ You're sure?
非常確定 因為那時我站在台上準備要演講 Quite sure. I was on stage about to start my talk.
我也看到她了 I saw her then too.
我也是 So did I.
一个人獨自離開花園的？ Leaving the garden alone?
Yeah.
接下來的十分鐘你們都在哪裡？ And where were you all for the next 10 minutes?
我們所有人都在觀眾席聽Patricia演講 In the audience, listening to Patricia. All of us were.
可以告诉我Esther这几天的状态如何吗 Er, can you tell me about how Esther seemed over the last few days?
比如她的情绪和行為 Er, her mood, behaviour?
從我們五天前抵達這裡 Barely left her hotel room,
她就沒怎么出門 since we arrived five days ago.
-你知道為什麼嗎？ -她每晚都為了論文 Do you know why? She was working late every night.
的新章節寫到很晚 On a new chapter of her thesis.
是有關“火焰樹”的論文 It was on The Flame Tree.
她在島上做了些调查 She was doing some research here on the island.
是什么样的调查 What sort of research?
她没告诉过我 She hadn't shared it with me yet.
不过显然她很专注 It was obviously preoccupying her.
-甚至是...对此着迷 -真的么？ Obsessing her, even. Really?
Esther是个非常专注的学生 Esther was a very dedicated student.
很在乎她的作品 Cared about her work.
可能有点过分在乎了 Perhaps a little too much.
你们和Esther有过接触么？ Er, did you have any contact with Esther?
她昨天在这里帮我筹备活动 She was here yesterday, helping me with the festival admin.
印節目表、架設機器什么的 Printing the programmes, setting up the equipment.
Sylvie呢 你和她聊过么 And, er, Sylvie, er, did you speak to her then?
我昨天没和她说过两句话 Yesterday, no more than a word or two.
她周四不是去找你谈采访的事吗？ Erm, didn't she go to see you on Thursday, to interview you?
没错 那時我們聊的比較多 She did. And we spoke a little more then.
你們都談了些什麼？ What did she want to talk about?
哦 谈我的作品 Well, my writing.
她有一些研究上的問題 She had some research questions.
就像安娜說的 Like Anna said,
我注意到她看起來確實有些緊张 I did notice she seemed a little tense.
你知道為什麼嗎？ Do you know why?
不知道 I have no idea.
我猜也许那时她就已经打算跳崖了吧 Presumably she was already planning to throw herself off my cliff.
Hmm.
你說你們1點25分時都還在聽Patricia演講？ And you say you were still all present at Patricia's talk at 1:25.
有没有其他賓客可以證明？ Are there other guests who can confirm this?
你可以隨便問观众席里的任何一位賓客 Ask anyone else in the audience.
現場有100名賓客 而我們就坐在最前排 There were 100 people here and we were sitting in the front row.
但Esther是自己跳下去的吧？她并不是… But Esther jumped, didn't she? She wasn't...
我們還沒有排除任何可能 Well, we're not ruling anything out just yet.
好的 謝謝 Okay, thank you.
要是有其他問題會再跟你們聯絡 再見 Er, we'll be in touch with any further questions. Bye.
Sir? Yes.
我們四处找過了 沒有看到Esther的筆记本 We looked around and there's no sign of Esther's laptop.
而我和所有賓客都談過了 And we've spoken to most
确实 他們都是 of the other guests and it's true.
在今早抵達這座島時 They only know Esther from meeting her
才認識Esther的 after they arrived earlier this morning.
有些人注意到在 Listen a couple noticed
Patricia Lawrence发言时 Esther离开了庭院 Esther leaving the grounds during Patricia Lawrence's talk.
有没有发现Esther是被什么人跟踪的 Any of them notice anyone following Esther?
显然 每个人 Apparently, everyone remained
在发言期间都坐在位子上 in their seat for the duration of the talk.
長官，你在想什麼？ What are you thinking, sir?
我在想 如果像我所怀疑的那樣 I'm thinking that if, as I suspect,
遗书是伪造的 Esther是被人推下去的 that suicide note was faked and Esther was pushed to her death.
那么 由于庆祝活动上似乎 Then, as there seem to be only four
只有四个人认识她 people at the festival who knew her,
所有 一定是他們其中一個人做的 it has to be one of them that did it.
但是头儿 But, Chief,
事发时 所有人都看到他们四个在场 就不可能是他們啊！对吗？ if they were all in full view when it happened it can't be, can it?
是的 Dwayne 不可能 你说的对 No, Dwayne. It can't. You're right.
我们需要盡快查出遗书上有沒有指紋 We need to get that note dusted for prints as soon as possible.
还有Dwayne, JP Also, Dwayne, JP,
調查案發當時 莊園裡 find out if there was anyone else present
除了賓客外 还有沒有其他人在场 on the estate at the time of death.
除了客人们 Apart from the guests I mean.
像職員 鄰居 或任何有可能看到事發經過的人 Any staff, neighbours, anyone who may have witnessed anything.
还有 我发现那边有间小屋 Also, there's a small bungalow over there, I noticed.
或许值得一查 Might be worth checking out.
同时 Florence In the meantime, Florence,
我们去看看Esther的酒店房间吧 let's take a look at Esther's hotel room.
如果她自从抵達聖瑪麗島後 大部分时间都窝在房间里 If she's been holed up there since she arrived,
她的房间也許可以告訴我們她過去一週到底在做什麼 it might give us an idea about what she's been up to this week.
-好主意 長官 --還有… Good idea, sir. Oh, and, er,
我们还得给Esther的父母打电话 we should call Esther's parents.
我们一定会的 Of course we will.
再次表示遗憾 And again, I am so sorry.
我们再联系 再见 We'll speak soon. Bye.
他们怎么样？ How were they?
非常震惊 伤心欲绝 可想而知了 Shocked and devastated, of course.
但是他们不相信Esther会自杀 But they refused to believe Esther would kill herself.
他们知道她学业压力很大 They were aware she was stressed by her studies.
但还不到那种程度 But not to the extent she...
那正与我们的猜测相符 Well, that tallies with our thinking.
接待员说看见Esther The receptionist said she saw Esther
在两天前与一位英国男宾客发生争执 arguing with a male English guest two nights ago.
从她的描述看 像Oliver Wolf Sounded like Oliver Wolf from her description.
我们应该与Esther的大学取得联系 We should get in touch with Esther's university.
看他们能不能提供一些线索 See if they can offer us any insight
帮我们理清她与教授还有Wolf博士的关系 into her relationship with Professor and Dr Wolf.
看来她确实是在开夜车 Looks like she really was burning the midnight oil.
真乱啊 What a mess.
好吧 看能不能找到Esther的笔记本 Right, let's see if Esther's laptop is here.
奇怪了 Strange.
她把手机落在这儿了 She left her phone here.
这些看起来像她的论文笔记 These look like notes for her thesis.
我们小时候很喜欢收集贝壳 We used to love collecting shells as kids.
那时候我们放學後會去海灘 We used to go to the beach after school.
後来她就搬去英國了？ And then she moved to England?
你们還保持聯絡嗎？ Did you stay in touch?
是啊 偶尔通過幾次信，但仅此而已 Yeah. Wrote a few times, but that was it.
直到今天我已經有好幾年沒想到她了 Until today, I haven't thought about her for years.
她手機上有什麼線索嗎？ Anything on her phone?
我只是稍微看了一下而已 I've only had a quick look through,
我感覺Esther不怎么与人来往 but it seems to me that Esther liked to keep herself to herself.
手機裡幾乎沒有私人訊息或照片 Hardly any personal texts or, or photos, even.
也没发现她的笔记本电脑 对吧？ There's no sign of her laptop either, is there?
确实没看到 No, there isn't.
可能有人拿走了 但为什么呢？ Someone's taken it, haven't they? Why?
我也不知道 Florence I don't know, Florence.
目前我們不仅有一封可疑的遺書 But as we now not only have a suspicious suicide note,
还有丢失的笔记本电脑 but also a laptop that's gone missing.
很遺憾我們得把Esther的死当作謀殺案来处理了 I'm sorry to say that we're treating Esther's death as murder.
我以前從來没到過Baptiste莊園 Dwayne I have never been to the Baptiste estate before, Dwayne.
我也沒有 Me neither.
既然小说是以這為故事場景的 To think this is where the book actually takes place
有種栩栩如生的感覺，對吧？ it really brings it to life, don't you think?
Oh, yes, JP.
我现在要以全新的眼光来看待这本书了 I'm seeing it very much in a new light now.
你最喜歡書中的哪個部分 Dwayne Hey, what's your favourite part of the book, Dwayne?
Honore警官 Uh, Honore police.
請開門好吗 Can you open up please?
你知道么 JP You know what, JP,
我觉得家里没人 I don't think there's anyone at home, you know.
等一下Dwayne Uh, wait a minute, Dwayne.
下午好 女士 Oh. Good afternoon, madame.
我們在調查附近發生的一起意外 We're investigating an incident that's taken place near here.
你有没有看到过一名約20歲的 Did you happen to see a young woman,
年輕女孩 在今天下午1點15分左右往懸崖方向走嗎？ early 20s, heading towards the cliff at about 1:15 today?
抱歉，沒有 Sorry. No.
你一個人住在這裡嗎？ Do you live here alone?
不好意思 Er, excuse me...
我也很高興認識你 Nice to meet you too!
有些人真是的 Some people, eh?
JP.
好的 筆跡看起來一致 Well, it does look like the same handwriting to me.
但有可能是偽造得好 But then it could just be a good forgery.
这不難學的 It's not hard to do.
Sir. Yes?
我剛和大學校長通過話了 I've just spoken to the Dean of the university.
他說Esther和 He said Esther had made an appointment
社会福利專員約了見面 with the union welfare officer.
他不知道為什麼 但我已经让她和我聯絡了 He didn't know why but I've asked her to get in touch.
Mmm-hmm.
所以 我們的死者表面上看起來像是自殺 So our victim dies in an apparent suicide.
她在島上待了五天 She'd been on the island five days
并且我们已经确定她只跟四個人有過接觸 and we've established she only had contact with four people.
他们分别是 They were...
Anna Wolf教授 44岁 Professor Anna Wolf, 44,
Esther的导师 Esther's tutor
Esther所在大学的英语系主任 and Head of the English Faculty at Esther's university.
校長對她的評價很高 The Dean spoke very highly of her.
聽起來像是系里的明星人物 她老公是 Seems to be the star of her department. Married to...
Oliver Wolf 43岁 Oliver Wolf, 43.
也是大學教授 但網络上找不到他的訊息 An academic, too, but we can't find much about him online.
看起来似乎多年沒有發表論文了 Hasn't published anything for some years, it seems.
Sylvie Baptiste 66岁 Sylvie Baptiste, 66.
著名作家，一直都住在聖瑪麗島上 Big deal novelist, lived on Saint Marie all her life.
还有Patricia Lawrence 46岁 And Patricia Lawrence, 46.
现住在莊園裡 Lives at the estate.
老家在英國路易斯罕 Originally from Lewisham in the UK.
-她在這裡住多久了？ -25年了 How long she been here? 25 years.
她原本是來這裡旅遊的 Apparently, she came here whilst travelling,
本來只是臨時擔任Sylvie的助理 got a temporary job as Sylvie's
結果就這樣留下來了 assistant and ended up staying.
那平房裡的女人呢？有没有说 Er, and the woman in the bungalow.
-她叫什麼名字？ -名字？ Did she give a name? Name?
她直接把门摔我脸上了 She slammed the door in my face.
她好像很不願意和我們說話 Seemed very reluctant to talk to us.
是因为心怀鬼胎么？ Suspiciously so?
我不那么认为 長官 I don't think so, sir.
她有点问题 看起來好像身體不太好 There's something about her. She didn't seem well.
好的，打电话給Patricia Okay. Well, erm, call Patricia.
看她能不能告诉我们是誰住在那裡 See if she can tell us who lives there.
Right. Dwayne,
查查遺書上的指紋 get the suicide note fingerprinted.
並連絡Esther的網络供應商 And get in touch with Esther's internet provider.
看看她的邮件里有什么线索 See what her emails show up.
別忘記去移民局查一下 Also, er, check with immigration
Sylvie和Patricia and find out about Sylvie
過去幾年的出入境狀況 and Patricia's travels over the last few years.
看看他们俩誰 See if there's any chance that either
曾有機會和either接觸過 of them may have crossed paths with Esther before.
是 長官 Chief.
长官 剛才打电话的是社会福利部的專員 Sir, that was the university welfare officer.
原来Esther Apparently,
曾舉報过一起性騷擾案件 Esther had reported a case of sexual harassment
指控對象正是Oliver Wolf against Oliver Wolf.
这其实在所难免 只是 Well, it comes with the territory.
不合时宜的调情罢了 The odd flirtation.
僅此而已 Nothing more than that.
你們之間到底發生了什麼？ What exactly happened between you?
就是最近的一次研討會 Well, it was at a seminar recently, erm,
红酒喝多了 drank too much red wine.
結果我們就接吻了 We ended up kissing.
你知道 這些女孩很年輕 Look, these girls are young,
又克制不住自己 只要你长得不是太醜 they're hormonal. If you're halfway decent looking
而且不超過50歲 and under 50,
他们就会勾引你 they do flirt.
没错 事情是這樣的Oliver Yes, er, thing is, Oliver.
我們剛剛和你們大學的社会福利專員通過了電話 We just spoke to the union welfare officer at your university.
他们說Esther對研討會事件的描述 They told us that Esther's version of that seminar
跟你說的不太一樣 is rather different from yours.
是你喝醉後 You were the one drunk.
在你办公室把她逼到牆角 You were the one who cornered her in your office.
然後隔天早上Esther打算 And the next morning, Esther made an appointment
舉報你性騷擾 to report you for sexual harassment.
但我想你早就已經知道了，對吧？ But I think you already know that, don't you?
我們和飯店的接待员談過了 We spoke to the receptionist at your hotel.
她说在Esther死前兩天的晚上 She said she saw you and Esther arguing,
她看到你們在爭執 two nights before she died.
我... I had...
我跟她的死没有任何關系 Nothing to do with her death.
那你和她在吵什麼？ What were you and her arguing about?
我只是想劝她理性一點 I was just trying to get her to be reasonable.
她有没有威脅要告訴你老婆？畢竟Anna是她的指導老師 Had she threatened to tell your wife? After all, Anna was her tutor.
我發誓我只是去… I swear, I was only going there to...
也许你是想让Esther住口吧 Perhaps you wanted to shut Esther up
免得她带来麻烦 before she could do any more damage!
Anna知道的 Anna knew!
Anna一直都知道 Anna always knows.
只不过睁一眼闭一眼 She turns a blind eye.
可她為什麼要那麼做？ Why on earth would she do that?
因為我為她犧牲了一切 Because I've sacrificed everything for her!
她是個明星學者 總是把事業擺在第一位 She's the star academic, her career always comes first,
而我却是那个幫她按摩腳 洗衣服做饭 while I'm the one who rubs her feet, does the laundry
往冰箱里装满食物的人 and makes sure there's food in the fridge.
所以作为回報 她允许你小心翼翼地与别人...調情？ And in return she allows you a few discreet, er, dalliances?
Yes.
你可能觉得这不太正常 督察 It may seem a little dysfunctional to you, Inspector.
但對我們來說沒問題 But it works for us.
只不过没想到Esther会举报你 Except, with Esther making a complaint,
所以事情變得棘手了 对吧？ things had become slightly less discreet. Hadn't they?
我想是的 I suppose so.
我不禁很想知道Anna对这一切怎么看 Which makes me wonder how Anna felt about it all.
Huh?
他告诉我们你都知道 He told us you knew all about it.
我当然不知道 Of course, I didn't.
他说那么达成了一个协议 He told us you had a deal.
所以你对此视而不见 About you turning a blind eye.
当然 你肯定做不到，對吧？ Of course, you couldn't turn a blind eye to that, could you?
我是说 他太得寸进尺了 毁了你们的友好协议 I mean he'd pushed it too far. Wrecked your cosy agreement.
就是说 偶尔小心谨慎的私情 I mean a few discreet affairs,
可以 但性骚扰的指控 fine, but a sexual harassment charge?
可能會嚴重傷害 I mean that would really take the shine off
大學模范黃金夫妻檔的形象 the university's golden couple.
我对这一“指控”毫不知情 I had no idea about this "charge". Okay.
好吧 Florence 打给Hoskins女士 Florence, call Ms Hoskins would you.
看她能不能幫我們澄清一下 See if she can clear this up for us.
等等 Wait!
是这样 他... Look he...
他不该对学生下手的 He wasn't meant to go after students!
本来只是那些我不认识的女人 It was only ever meant to be women I didn't know.
那些我永远不必知道的事情 Things I would never have to hear about.
但是当然 Ollie无法拒绝Esther这样的女孩 But of course, Ollie couldn't resist a girl like Esther.
我肯定 他把她当作是一个挑战 I'm sure he saw her as a challenge.
所以你知道Esther舉報了他？ So you knew Esther had reported him?
對 我知道 Yes, I knew.
這樣的事 And it was only a matter of time
遲早都會發生 before something like this happened.
我本来以为这是个不错的协定 I thought it was a good deal.
我需要他支持我的事業 I needed his support in my career.
但事实却是 But the truth is,
我一个人就可以搞定 I could've coped on my own.
那你為什麼还要這樣放縱他？ Then why let him get away with it?
因為我愛他 Because I loved him.
我知道这很蠢 Idiotic, I know.
你不会觉得我和 You don't think that I had
Esther的死有什么关系吧 嗯？ anything to do with Esther's death, do you?
你可以想一想现在的局面 Well, you can see how it looks.
她对你的婚姻 事业都是威胁 She was a threat to your marriage and your career.
我的婚姻结束了 My marriage is over.
很早以前就结束了 It has been for a long time.
受害者当时正要向学校举报 Now our victim was on the cusp of reporting
Oliver Wolf 控告其性骚扰行为 Oliver Wolf to the university authorities for sexual harassment.
这就意味着他与妻子都将付出沉重的代价 Which means that both he and his wife had a great deal to lose.
他们中的一个或者两个 Either or indeed both of them
都有理由杀她 had reason to kill her.
对 但是他俩当时正并肩坐在第一排 Yeah, but as they were sat next to each other
听Patricia Lawrence发言 in the front row during Patricia Lawrence's talk
而那正是Esther被害的时候 at the exact moment Esther died.
理論上来说 他們倆都不可能是凶手 In theory, neither of them could have done it.
Dwayne 你那邊进展如何？ Dwayne. How are you getting on?
头儿 我查过了遺書上的指紋 Well, Chief, I've fingerprinted the suicide note.
然后呢 And?
上面只有Esther的指紋 I'm afraid only Esther's prints are on it.
移民局那边也查过了 I also checked with immigration.
看來Sylvie和Patricia經常出去旅行 Seems Sylvie and Patricia travel a lot.
足跡遍及世界各地 All over the world.
知名作家的生活真令人羨慕 The life of a celebrated novelist, eh.
虽然Patricia再也没回过英国 Whilst Patricia's never been back to the UK,
Sylvie則在過去七年因為參加其他文學日 Sylvie's made four trips there in the last seven years
而去了四次 for other literary festivals.
快速調查後发现 But after a quick check,
Esther沒有參加过其中的任何一場文學日活动 Esther wasn't in attendance at any of them.
所以 在Esther來這座島之前 So it's highly unlikely they met
她們几乎不可能見過面 prior to Esther's arrival on the island.
謝謝你 Dwayne Thank you, Dwayne.
JP 死者的电子邮箱裡有查到什麼嗎？ Er, JP, anything of interest from our victim's email account?
Well, erm,
我查了過去半年的郵件 I've looked back over the last six months.
共有四封是寄給Patricia Lawrence的 And there are four emails sent to Patricia Lawrence,
希望能够采访Sylvie Baptiste requesting an interview with Sylvie Baptiste.
每一封都被婉拒 Esther很少 All politely refused. Esther pretty much...
与人来往 Keeps herself to herself.
我们也是这种印象 That's the impression we got.
还有 Oh, also.
我给Patricia留了言 I left a message for Patricia
請她回電话告訴我住在平房裡的那个人是誰 to call me back about whoever lives in that bungalow.
但是同时 我也检查了选民名册 But in the meantime, I checke the Electoral Register
房子的主人是Sylvie Baptiste and the owner is Sylvie Baptiste.
但卻沒有人住在那裡的記錄 No occupier registered.
很奇怪啊 How odd.
继续问Patricia 我们得 Chase Patricia. We need to find
搞清楚那位神祕的住客到底是誰 out who her mysterious tenant is.
Yes, sir. Ah, but do it
明早再说吧 first thing in the morning. It's getting on.
差不多了 今天就這樣吧 We should, erm, call it a day.
我还想趕在圖書館關門之前 I'd also like to pop into the library
去借一本“火焰樹”來讀读看 before it closes. Get a copy of The Flame Tree to read.
不过借完书之后 如果有人想来杯啤酒的话 Er, but if anyone fancies a beer after I've done that,
领导请客 Chief is buying.
你人真好，長官！ That's very good of you, Chief.
是啊 我想听听你们对Sylvie小说的看法 Yes, well, I'd like to pick your brains about Sylvie's novel.
畢竟你們都讀過了 As you've all read it.
沒問題 Of course!
Florence?
要去喝一杯嗎？ Er, beer maybe?
我想看完Esther的筆記 I just want to finish going through Esther's notes.
我去找你们吧 I'll see you there.
好的 Yes, yes.
Ah.
今天長官要請客哦 Catherine On the Chief's tab, Catherine.
Mmm-hmm.
Victor Pearce 将竞选镇长 "Victor Pearce standing for Mayor."
跟前一個一樣烂 Just as bad as the last one.
我喜欢这座岛 I love this island.
但我希望 哪怕只是一次 But I wish that, just once,
我们可以选出一个称职的人 we could elect a mayor who deserves the job.
他有什么不好呢 And what's so bad about him?
仗势欺人 满嘴谎言 A bully and a crook.
每晚都在外面喝酒 Out drinking every night.
而且全都开发票 And it all goes on his expense account.
从来不用自己付钱 Never pays for a thing.
或许你也应該去參選的 Catherine Well, er, maybe you should stand, Catherine.
我是说 我覺得你會做得很棒 I mean, I personally think you'd do a great job.
哪里好笑了吗？ What's so funny about that?
没有 Nothing.
我喝酒呛着了 My drink went down the wrong way.
好 来了 长官 Here we go, sir.
Ah!
好喝的啤酒和經典文學 还有什么比这更令男人向往呢 Fine beer and classic literature. What more could a man want?
确实 Indeed. Mmm-hmm.
長官，你喜歡那本書嗎？ You enjoying the book, sir?
非常喜歡 Mmm. Very much.
你也是么 Dwayne You liked it as well, Dwayne?
我？ Me?
對啊 第一次讀這本書時，你覺得怎么样？ Yes, er, er what did you make of it when you first read it?
這個嘛… 你知道的 Er, well, you know, er,
非常能够引起共鸣 er, look it's, er, richly evocative.
关于命運和欲望的經典故事 A classic tale of destiny and desire.
-真厲害 -天啊 Wow! Crikey.
这是後殖民 It's a triumph of post co...
主義的勝利 Colonialism.
Kathy Morrison 纽约先驱报 Kathy Morrison, New York Herald.
好啦 Okay.
好啦，可能我并沒看到最後 Okay. So maybe I didn't quite get to the end.
Florence呢？她應該就要到了才對 Where is Florence? I thought she'd be here by now.
請問一下 Excuse me.
Morning all, morning.
-早 头儿 -早 头儿 Morning, Chief. Morning, Chief.
抱歉，我遲到了，我5點才睡 Sorry I'm late. I didn't get to sleep till 5:00.
这本书太吸引人了 I could not put this down.
Esther的父母今天一早给我打电话 Esther's parents called me first thing this morning.
他们想起了她之前说过的一件事 They'd remembered something she said about uncovering a secret
她在岛上做研究时 发现了一个秘密 during the research she'd been doing here on the island.
秘密？ 是什么秘密？ A secret? About what?
他們不清楚 They didn't know.
但他們說 她看起來很焦虑 But they said she'd seemed worried about it.
很緊張 Nervous.
我从这里开始看了她的笔记 I started going through her notes here,
想看看关于那个秘密有沒有什麼線索 seeing if there's any clue as to what it is was...
-没有发现么 -目前没有 But no joy? Not yet.
看起來好像就是在分析文本 It looks like some kind of textual analysis.
對比了Sylvie Baptiste的不同作品 Comparing different works by Sylvie Baptiste.
用字選擇、文字組織結構等等 Word usage, er, styles of phrasing.
我會繼續查的 I'll keep looking.
我還发现有這個酒吧名字的火柴盒 Also, I found this matchbox from a bar,
在我们從Esther房間拿走的那些物件中找到的 in amongst the things we took in Esther's room.
我昨晚去了那家酒吧 把Esther的照片給他們看了 I went to visit it last night and showed them her picture.
他們認得她嗎？ Did they recognise her?
酒吧的男招待說她不太爱講話 The barman said Esther didn't really talk much.
但她对这个很感兴趣 But she showed some interest in this.
就挂在墙上 It was hanging on the wall.
-Sylvie Baptiste -不仅仅是她 Sylvie Baptiste. Not just her.
讀讀上面的标题 Look at the caption.
还有Lizzie Baptiste Lizzie Baptiste, too.
Lizzie Baptiste?
她是Sylvie的妹妹 Turns out it's Sylvie's sister.
查到了她的出生證明和就學記錄 There's a record of birth and where she went to school.
但除此之外，什麼也沒了 But after that, nothing.
感覺她好像就這樣人间蒸发了 It's like she just disappeared.
天呐 太奇怪了 Gosh, how strange.
難道這就是Esther所發現的秘密？ Could this be the secret Esther discovered?
我看起來沒什麼秘密啊 I can't see any secret, exactly.
只是关于她的資料不多 Just not many records of her.
我覺得這就是小屋裡的那個女人 I think this is the woman from the bungalow.
我觉得她现在有些老了 但眼睛还是一样的 对吗？ I mean she's a bit older now, but same eyes. No?
Mmm-hmm.
所以Sylvie的妹妹就住在她的庄园 So Sylvie's sister is living on her estate,
距離案發地不到100公尺的地方 not 100 metres away from the scene of the crime
但是Sylvie却闭口不提 and Sylvie neglected to mention it?
我覺得你应该再去拜訪一下这位Lizzie了 I think you need to pay this Lizzie another visit.
是 長官 Hmm. Chief.
早上好 Morning.
你是Lizzie吧 It's Lizzie, isn't it?
Hmm.
我叫JP Hooper I'm JP Hooper.
这位是Myers警官 This is Officer Myers.
你们得去找我姐姐 You need to speak to my sister.
我不喜歡别人来打扰 I don't like to have visitors.
Er, Lizzie.
我覺得你該除一下草了 I see your plants need a bit of a weeding.
需要我們幫你清理一下嗎？ Would you like us to help you tidy them up a bit?
我們很樂意幫忙喔 It'll be our pleasure.
Hmm.
你一个人住吗 Lizzie So you live alone, Lizzie?
Mmm-hmm.
你姐姐会来看你吗 Does your sister come and visit you?
她对我很好 She's good to me.
很照顾我 She takes care of me.
你在這里住多久了？ How long have you lived here for?
很久了，自從… A long time. Since...
我從醫院出來以後 I came out of the hospital.
你身體不好？ You weren't well?
Hmm.
出了点问题 Things went a bit wrong.
就是這裡 Up here.
她想要知道 She wanted to know about
一首詩 a poem.
你說的是誰？ Who did?
那個女孩 The girl.
就是尸体被发现的那个人 The one whose body you found.
我告诉她我对什么诗歌一无所知 I told her I don't know anything about any poem.
你具体是在哪裡跟她談話的？ Ah, where exactly did you speak to her?
她來這裡找我 She came here.
我告訴她說我不喜歡被人打扰，但… I told her I don't like having visitors,
她不聽 but she wouldn't listen.
這是什麼時候的事？ And, and when was this?
我想大概是幾天前吧 Couple of days ago, I think.
Lizzie 昨天中午你在哪里？ Lizzie, where was you yesterday lunchtime?
昨天？ Yesterday?
就是在我们第一次来这找你之前 Just before the first time we first visited you.
我就在这里 I was here.
整个早上都在 All morning.
一首詩？ A poem?
显然 Esther感興趣的就是這個 Apparently, that's what Esther was interested in.
真好奇不知道為什麼？ I wonder why?
她究竟為什麼要找Lizzie談這個？ And why on earth, would she want to talk to Lizzie about it?
我是说Sylvie又不寫詩 不是嗎？ I mean, Sylvie doesn't write poetry, does she?
她寫的是小說 She writes novels.
Esther不就是在研究这个吗 That's what Esther was researching.
我好像在Esther的论文笔记中 I think I saw some poetry in the notes
看到了一些诗 that Esther was making for her thesis.
而且她不能确切的说出Esther And she can't say for sure
被推下懸崖時 她人在哪裡 where she was at the time Esther was pushed off the cliff?
沒錯長官 但我不覺得 No, Chief. But I don't think
她就是我们要找的杀人凶手 長官 that that's our killer though, sir.
我是说 她很脆弱 I mean, I know she's vulnerable.
还有点... Had some sort of...
是的 我知道 JP 对此我也很抱歉 Yes, yes, I know, JP. I'm sorry.
但是她目前沒有不在場證明 But she currently has no alibi
而且案發當時 她人就在附近 and she was in the vicinity of the murder at the time it happened.
我们必须恪尽职守 把她写入我们的案情分析板 We have to do due diligence and add her to the board.
我很抱歉 I, I'm sorry.
在這裡 There it is.
謝謝 Thank you.
“或許跳下去，我就自由了” "Perhaps if I jump I will be free."
我確定我在書裡看到過這句話 I'm sure I've seen that in the novel somewhere.
那是Iris第一次去懸崖边時說的 That's when Iris goes to the cliff for the first time.
没错 就是這樣 That's it! That's it!
那段話具体在哪裡？ Now where is that?
差不多中间的地方 Er, about halfway through.
就在Donald拜訪女巫過後 Just after Donald visits the Obeah-woman...
在這裡 Oh, here we are.
“或許跳下去，我就會飛了 "Perhaps I'll fly if I jump.
或許我就自由了” "Perhaps I'll be free."
這几乎和这首詩一模一樣 That's almost identical to the poem.
只是用詞稍有不同而已 The phrasing's just slightly different.
它旁邊的號碼是什麼意思？ And what's that number next to it?
我不知道，筆記裡还出現過幾次类似的数字 I don't know. There's a few of them in the notes.
全都是八位數 All eight digits.
可能是電話號碼 It's a phone number maybe.
-不是 -我也覺得不是 No. I don't think so.
在書上有一組八位數的號碼 長官 There's a number on the book, Chief. Eight digits.
-在哪裡？ -這裡 Where? There.
这是圖書館的藏书編碼 They're library reference numbers.
也就是说 Esther是在Honore圖書館开展研究的 So, Esther was researchin all this at Honore library.
Dwayne 你去一趟圖書館 Dwayne, I want you to get down there.
查查看Esther究竟發現了什麼 See if you can find whatever it was Esther was digging out.
我这就去 头儿 Right away, Chief!
圖書館的確切位置在哪裡？ Where would the library be, exactly?
我跟你去吧 I'll come with you.
Shh.
你说他們為什么还留着這些舊東西 警长？ Why do they keep all this old stuff, Sarge?
因为這里是圖書館 It's a library.
這可是火災隐患啊 It's a fire hazard, is what it is.
你应該讀一下那本書 You should read it.
我想你會喜歡的 I think you might enjoy it.
510頁，別開玩笑了！ 510 pages! You must be joking!
Shh.
干嘛 What?
Dwayne.
Elizabeth Baptiste.
被列在這份索引裡 Listed here in the index.
Oh!
這是Esther寫的那句詩 It's the poem Esther wrote out.
跟小說裡的那段话類似 Similar to the lines in the novel.
但那是Lizzie Baptiste写的 But it's by Lizzie Baptiste.
比“火焰樹”早兩年出版 Published two years before The Flame Tree.
所以Sylvie剽窃了她的詩 So Sylvie stole her lines?
也許她不只剽窃了這首詩 Maybe that's not all she stole.
Esther的研究笔记 Esther's notes compare
比較了“火焰樹”和Sylvie其他的作品 The Flame Tree to Sylvie's other works.
文笔差異非常大 There are significant differences.
感覺像在比較兩個不同作家的作品 It's almost like she's comparing two different authors.
会不会这就是Esther发现的秘密 Is it possible that the secret Esther discovered is that...
確實是兩位不同的作者 There are two different authors?
“火焰樹”的作者根本不是Sylvie That Sylvie didn't write The Flame Tree at all?
是Lizzie寫的？ That Lizzie did?
Sylvie找到了她的手稿？ And Sylvie found the manuscript?
我覺得Esther就是在研究這個 I think that's what Esther's research was about
也是她要為論文寫新章節的原因 and that's why she was writing a new chapter for her thesis.
這解釋了她壓力為什么這麼大 It explains why she was so stressed,
為什么她無法告訴其他人 why she hadn't felt able to tell anyone.
Lizzie為什麼會願意讓她姊姊 But why would Lizzie allow her sister
窃取她的作品呢？ to take the credit for all her work?
Lizzie根本不記得什么詩了 Well, Lizzie doesn't remember the poem.
所以也许她也不記得什么小說了？ So, maybe she didn't remember the novel either?
她有可能會忘記自己寫過的小說嗎？ Is it possible that you'd forget you wrote a novel?
如果她的身體狀況真像她描述得這麼糟 那就有可能 If her breakdown was as severe as she says it was then, yes, maybe.
如果真是这样的话 But if that is the case,
那Sylvie Baptiste一定認為 then Sylvie Baptiste must have thought
她策划了一场完美的骗局 she'd committed the perfect fraud
知道Esther的出现 until the day Esther came along.
并威脅要揭露真相 And threatened to ruin it all.
没错 Esther來這裡找過我 我早就说了 Esther came to see me here, yes, as I already told you.
一个奇怪的女孩 A strange girl.
她想談些什麼呢？ What did she want to talk about?
我的創作手法 Oh, my creative methods,
我的灵感 my inspirations.
我告诉她只有两个方法 I told her I have only two.
这美丽的小岛 The beauty of this island,
还有单一的麦芽威士忌 and single malt whisky.
她有没有告诉你她的研究？ Did she tell you about her research?
我想没有 I don't believe she did.
我拜讀了你的作品，非常有力道 I've read the novel. It's incredibly powerful.
吸血女巫就像火焰一樣在島上飛舞 Soucriants flying round the island as balls of flame.
Obeah magic.
必须要有很丰富的想象力才寫得出來 Must need a very vivid imagination to write that.
不需要想像力 No imagination required.
因為我的祖母就是一位女巫师 My grandmother was an Obeah woman.
她有愛人與殺人的能力 She had the power of love and death.
真正的力量 Real power.
因為人們相信她 Because the people believed in her.
真想不到读者会喜欢这个故事 Amazing what people will buy, isn't it?
只要內容夠誇張就一定能賣出去 If it's sold to them with enough panache.
Baptiste女士 我們搜查令搜查你的房子 Ms Baptiste, we have a warrant to search your house.
一部短篇小說的靈感 Idea for a short story.
-在一个關係緊密的社區里… -Sylvie A married woman in a close knit... Sylvie?
一位有夫之婦和教區神父有染 ...community begins an affair with a Parish Priest.
怎么回事？ What's going on?
她太著迷了 She was obsessive.
失去理智了 簡直瘋了 She was losing her mind.
著迷是沒錯，但她可沒瘋 Obsessive, yes. Losing her mind? No.
Esther知道自己查到了些東西 Esther knew she was onto something.
她相信自己發現了一個秘密 She believed she'd discovered a secret.
“火焰樹”的原著手稿 That the original manuscript
其实是Lizzie写的 of The Flame Tree had been written by Lizzie.
Esther發現了Lizzie寫的一首詩 Esther discovered a poem that Lizzie had written.
关于一个年轻女人 无法承受生活的重压 About a young woman who, unable to cope with life,
跳崖自杀了 throws herself off a cliff.
我們調查了你的背景 We've been researching your background.
你曾经多次被出版社拒絕 You were rejected by publishers many times.
然后 你突然就创作出了“火焰樹”這個故事 And then suddenly, you came up with The Flame Tree.
並立刻成為當紅作家 And you were an instant critical hit.
你是不是發現了Lizzie的手稿 Did you find a manuscript of Lizzie's,
并決定把它据為己有 decide to keep it for yourself?
Lizzie根本不可能对那份手稿有所作为 Lizzie would never have done anything with it!
她一點功夫也沒下 She never worked at it.
她不配 She didn't deserve it.
她創作完就會像個孩子一樣忘記 She would write things and forget them, like a child.
我才是认真对待它们的人 I was the one who took things seriously.
是我把它们献给了这个世界 I was the one who gave it to the world.
長官 Chief?
这是Esther的笔记本电脑 It's Esther's laptop.
我們在Baptiste女士的房裡找到的 We found it in Ms Baptiste's room.
你偷的 You stole it.
是她偷的 She did.
毫无疑问 是你指使她的 On your instructions, no doubt.
你說过你已经處理掉了 You said you'd got rid of it.
老實告訴我們，星期四早上 Tell us exactly what happened when
Esther来见你時 究竟發生了什麼 Esther came to see you on Thursday morning.
她問我 She asked me
有沒有“火焰樹”的原稿 if I had any original notes for The Flame Tree.
任何能證明這是我的作品的東西 Anything to prove that it'd been my work.
她說她為論文寫了新的章節 She said she had a new chapter for her thesis
说明了我不是真正的作者 which posited that I wasn't the author.
我想在她心底 I think a part of her was still
她仍希望我能证明她是错的 hoping that I would prove her wrong.
但你無法证明 But you couldn't.
她说她会公之于众 So she said she'd go ahead and publish.
她帶著她的筆记本電脑 She had the laptop with her.
新的章節就存在电脑裡面 The new chapter was on it.
当Esther帮你准备文学日时 Which you then instructed Patricia to steal from her.
你就指使Patricia从她那把东西偷回来 While Esther was helping you prepare for the festival.
但你知道她重写了这一章？ But you knew she'd just rewrite the chapter?
我慌了 I panicked.
我只想拖住她 I wanted to delay her.
Esther的论文可能会毁掉你的声誉和事业 Esther's work threatened to destroy your reputation and career.
你想要一絕後患 You needed to deal with matters more permanently.
我沒有殺她 I didn't kill her.
你要百分之百確定 You needed to make absolutely sure
她絕對不會对外洩漏一个字 that she would never breathe a word about what a fraud
她的偶像其实是個騙子 her idol had turned out to be.
你说的没错 我就是个騙子 You're right. I am a fraud.
我告訴自己說 我可以幫助Lizzie I told myself I could help Lizzie.
可以更好地照顾她 Could look after her better.
但事實上我都是為了我自己 The truth is I did it for myself.
也許我是个騙子 I may be a fraud
但我不是凶手 but I am not a murderer.
我得去躺一下 I need to go and lie down for a while.
下午五点有场签售会 We've got the book signing at 5:00.
那你就提前签一些呗 You can do that beforehand.
告訴賓客们我身體不舒服 Tell the guests I am not well.
失陪了 If you'll excuse me.
你可以为了Sylvie偷东西 You stole for Sylvie.
我在想 你是不是也会为了她杀人呢？ I wonder would you kill for her too?
Sylvie坐立不安 對吧？ Sylvie got nervous, didn't she?
她知道Esther會重寫论文 She knew Esther would just rewrite it.
她让你再为她做一件事 She asked you to do one more thing for her.
一名竭力奉献的员工 The ultimate act of loyalty
做出的最忠誠的舉動 from an employee whose devotion knows no bounds.
可惜你猜錯了 I'm afraid that's where you're wrong.
我希望自己能有你所說的那种奉獻精神 I wish I could summon the sort of devotion you imagine.
我祈求上帝希望Sylvie能受到启发 I wish to God Sylvie inspired it.
我沒有退休金和存款 I have no pension, no savings.
我一天工作12个小時 I work 12-hour days that end
最后还要把醉醺醺的她扛上床 清理她的嘔吐物 in putting her to bed drunk, and mopping up her vomit.
为她杀人绝不可能 I draw the line at killing for her, too.

她們兩人都可能是凶手 Either one of them could've done it.
会不会是她們一起殺的 Maybe they were in it together?
有可能 Maybe.
但她们跟沃夫先生和太太一樣 But they, like Mr and Mrs Wolf,
在Esther被害时间的十分钟内 were in full view of an audience
就待在100名观众的眼皮底下 of 100 in the 10-minute window when Esther was killed.
这也让Lizzie Baptiste成为唯一没有 Which leaves Lizzie Baptiste as the only
不在场证明的嫌疑人 suspect who doesn't have an alibi.
-長官 -但是… Sir... But
Lizzie杀害Esther Monroe的动机是什么 why would Lizzie want to kill Esther Monroe?
她幾乎不認識她 She hardly knew her.
而且她似乎对Esther发现的 And, it seems, knew nothing
被长久掩埋的秘密一无所知 of the long-held secret Esther was uncovering.
還有她的鋼筆 And then there's that fountain pen.
恐怕今晚我们还是破不了案了 I'm afraid we're not gonna solve this tonight.
今天先這樣吧 Let's call it a day for now.
明天繼續！ Pick up again tomorrow.
走吧！我請你喝杯啤酒 Come on, I'll buy you a beer.
Florence?
我想我应该先看看Esther的笔记本 I thought I might make a start looking through Esther's laptop.
實际上，你說过今晚會幫我的 Actually, you said you'd help me tonight.
我可不是经常利用职权的哦 Not often I pull rank.
走吧 Come on.
所以 以前 So, earlier,
做那些园艺 this gardening thing.
你做得很好 JP You did well, JP.
我很佩服 I was impressed.
Ah, Catherine.
所以JP 我决定接受你的建议 So, JP. I decided to take your advice.

你怎么看Dwayne Wouldn't you say, Dwayne?
你还真信啊 You better believe it!
Okay.
如果是三个月没有用过 就扔掉 If you haven't used it in three months, it goes.
很好 Very good.
呃 不 这件我经常穿 Ah, no, I wear that rather a lot actually.
谢谢你来帮我Florence Thanks for helping me, Florence.
我知道你觉得对Esther有责任 I know you feel a responsibility to Esther.
我老是在想 But I keep thinking,
也许我要是跟她保持联系 maybe if I'd stayed in touch
或许就不会变成今天这样 things would've been different for her.
Esther的死不是你的错Florence It's not your fault Esther died, Florence.
她被骚扰 She was harassed.
被偷 She was stolen from.

她和一个人一起在悬崖顶上 on that clifftop with someone who...
如果我还是她的朋友 If I'd been a friend to her,
如果我们要把她忘了 if I hadn't forgotten her.
你不能这么想 You can't think like that.
回过头来看看 总想着什么如果 但是 也许啊 Looking back and dwelling on the ifs, buts and maybes,
简直愚蠢至极 is a fool's game.
Esther现在最需要的就是 What Esther needs most now
一个抓住杀害她凶手的警探 is for a detective to catch the person that did this to her.
好吗 Okay?
那你会帮我吗 And you'll help me?
这还用问吗 I'm surprised you need to ask.

還沒来，但是长官 你需要 Not yet but, sir, you should come
來看看Florence的发现 and look at what Florence has found.
Oh, yes?
Esther的笔记本里发现些有趣的东西 Something interesting on Esther's laptop.
星期四錄制的一段视频文件 A video file. Recorded on Thursday.
Lizzie 你还記得這首詩嗎？ Lizzie, can you remember this poem?
如果我们在你 If we read it together,
寫詩的地方一起讀 in the place where you wrote it,
也许能帮你回忆起來 it might help you remember...
我們讀的这首詩 是在懸崖上写的 The poem we read is set on the cliffs.
所以也许Lizzie Baptiste So maybe Lizzie Baptiste
真的跟Esther一起上山了 did go to the clifftop with Esther.
她是唯一一个没有不在场证明的人 She is the only suspect not to have an alibi.
除了那封伪造的遗书 Except the faked suicide note.
我不认为她会计划这种事 I don't think she can plan something like that.
如果Esther要去懸崖上和Lizzie見面 If Esther was going to the clifftop to meet Lizzie,
會不會有人看到她上山 could someone have seen her going there
然後決定要跟蹤她？ and decided to follow her?
不 不 没那么简单 No, no, it's too convenient.
凶手肯定早就知道Esther Whoever did this knew that Esther
会去悬崖 并且設計了自己的不在場證明 would be on the cliff and planned their alibi accordingly.
我只是不知道他們是 I just don't know how they were able
如何裝做就像和 to make it appear like they were

第57章 Chapter 57.
第二天一早Iris醒来后去海滩漫步 Iris woke early the next morning and walked down to the beach.
这时暴風雨已經平息，海面平靜下来 The storm had cleared by then and the sea was calm.
好像她就在我身边一樣 Like she's there in my living room.
長官，你還好嗎？ Everything all right, Chief?
你刚才说“就像在我身边”？ In your living room, you said. Like she was there in your living room.
沒錯 長官 Yes, Chief?
手錶摔壞了 時間停在1點25 So, watch smashed and stopped at 1:25.
現場当时有100人 我們就坐在第一排 There were 100 people here and we were sitting in the front row.
怎么回事？ What's going on?
她星期四不是还去找过你么 去採訪你？ Didn't she go to see you on Thursday, to interview you?
沒錯 She did.
她每天晚上都為了 She was working late every night
论文的新章節而寫到很晚 on a new chapter of her thesis.
如果我们在 If we read it together,
你創作的地方一起朗讀 in the place where you wrote it...
萬寶龍鋼筆 Montblanc fountain pen.
遺書 The suicide note.
他們是怎麼辦到的呢？ How did they manage that? How?
下午五点有场签售会 We've got the book signing at 5:00.
没错 Of course.
原來是這樣 That's how...
Dwayne! Chief!
我要你去把Sylvie的 I need you to collect the laptop
筆记本電脑送到實驗室 from Sylvie's estate and get it to the lab.
我還需要我們調查的 I'm also gonna need the folders
所有背景資料 把嫌疑人都召集起来 containing our background checks and gather up the suspects.
Lizzie Baptiste是关键 Most importantly, Lizzie Baptiste.
-長官… -拜託 Sir... Please.
相信我 Just trust me on this.
這个地方真了不起，对嗎？ This place is quite something, isn't it?
一部著名小说的真实场景 The real-life setting of a famous novel.
Esther Monroe
三天前在這裡过世 died here three days ago
看起来像是自杀 in what appeared to be a suicide.
她焦躁不安 She was anxious,
对她的论文入迷了 obsessing about her work.
跟从书中的女主人公 Jumping from the same cliff that her
在同一地点跳崖自杀 literary heroine had jumped from,
似乎是她逃避问题的最终办法 might seem like the ultimate escape from her problems.
但她並非自殺 But this was no suicide.
Esther是被謀殺的 Esther was murdered.
Esther在下午1點15分離開會場 Now, Esther left the party at 1:15 p.m.
她的尸体被發現時手錶壞了 時間停在1點25分 When her body was found, her smashed watch had stopped at 1:25.
而案发当时Patricia在演讲 A hundred witnesses vouch for you all being
有100名证人证明 at Patricia's talk during that period.
你们坐在第一排 In the front row.
而Patricia在台上 Patricia on stage.
所以你們中的任何 So it's impossible that any of you
一个人都不可能離開座位去殺人 could have left to commit murder.
除非每一位目擊者都被 Unless every one of those impartial witnesses
誤導了 were mistaken.
而事實正是如此 Which is exactly what they were.
星期四的早上 Early on Thursday,
在她去世的前一天 the day before her death,
Esther拜访了Sylvie Baptiste Esther had been to visit Sylvie Baptiste.
Esther就“火焰树”真正作者 Esther had confronted Sylvie
一事质问了Sylvie about the true authorship of The Flame Tree.
她當時就知道了自己的理論是對的 She knew by then her theory was right.
但她想要最後一項證據 But she wanted one final piece of evidence.
她想亲自和Lizzie谈谈 She wanted to talk to Lizzie herself.
试图唤醒被Lizzie长期遗忘的写作记忆 To try an uncover Lizzie's long-forgotten memories of writing.
Esther打算 Esther planned
用筆记本電脑以影像記錄下 to record Lizzie's testimony
Lizzie的證詞 她也那样做了 on her laptop, which she did.
Lizzie.
你还記得這首詩嗎？ Can you remember this poem?
但Lizzie却什麼也不記得了 But Lizzie could remember nothing.
所以Esther提議去 So Esther suggested to visit the place
Lizzie写诗的地方 where Lizzie wrote the poem.
也就是懸崖上 The clifftop.
但我們認為在那次談話中 But we think Lizzie wasn't the only person
Lizzie并不是當時唯一在場的人 present during this conversation.
也就是说还有一个人 Which means that there would be someone else
知道去悬崖的计划 who knew about the plan to visit the cliff.
事实上 我相信他们一开始就 In fact, I believe they suggested it
提出了这个建议 in the first place.
能帮助Lizzie A, er, "helpful" idea
启发记忆的想法 to tap into Lizzie's memories.
我说的对吗 Lizzie Am I right, Lizzie?
那天房间裡是不是還有其他人？ That someone else was in that room that day?
Yes.
而且這個人还要你待在家，對吧？ In fact, this person told you to stay at home didn't they,
而他则單獨去見Esther 并蓄意谋杀 and went to meet Esther alone, intent on murder.
所以第二天 So, the following day,
Esther下午1點15分離開會場 Esther left the, er, festival reception at 1:15 p.m.
她知道自己的研究會掀起波瀾 She knew that her research would ruffle feathers.
Esther去悬崖上与Lizzie秘密会面 Esther went secretly to meet Lizzie
因为她确信之前已经安排好了 at the clifftop as she believed she had previously arranged.
但那个所谓帮她安排的人 But the person who helped her to arrange it
却单独去会见了她 met her there alone.
只有兩個人可以作为 There are only two people who
第三方出现在那个屋子里 could've been the third presence in that room.
也可以让Esther进入Lizzie的屋子 Who could've let Esther into Lizzie's house,
出现在采访中 也因此 知道了去悬崖的计划 been present at the interview and thus known about the clifftop plan.
Sylvie Baptiste.
Or Patricia Lawrence.
你該不會真的以為… You can't possibly believe...
你就是在那个房间裡的第三個人 You were the third person in that room.
我说的对吧Lizzie Am I right, Lizzie?
当你告訴Lizzie Now once you told Lizzie that the, er,
懸崖的會面取消之後 clifftop rendezvous wasn't happening any more,
你就去告诉Esther you then went and impressed
与Lizzie的会面至关重要 on Esther the importance of telling nobody else
不能透露给任何人 about the planned meeting with Lizzie.
当约定時間一到 And when the time came,
你離開了開幕會場 you left the festival opening
去懸崖上和Esther見面 to meet with Esther at the clifftop.
这太荒謬了，她去世時我还在台上演講 This is ridiculous. I was giving a speech at the time she died.
她們都聽到了 They all heard me.
那座懸崖就坐落在这片土地上 And this is the cliff right here on the estate.
对 他们都听到了 Yes, they heard you.
但他们看到你了嗎？ But did they see you?
我得說的是 你騙過了我 You see I must say you had me fooled.
Sylvie 直到我记起 Sylvie? Until I remembered
看到你输入Sylvie录音机里的记录 seeing you typing Sylvie's notes from her Dictaphone.
我才發現你擅長使用科技產品 See you're quite adept at technology,
对吧 Patricia aren't you, Patricia?
你告诉我们你负责文学日的准备活动 You told us yourself that you were in charge
连接调试笔记本电脑和音响设备 of setting up the laptop and the AV equipment for the festival.
然后你做了PPT演示 And you gave a presentation
介紹了“火焰樹”裡的場景 showing the slides of the locations of The Flame Tree.
我同事的有聲書讓我不禁思考 My colleague's audio book made me wonder,
会不会你的演讲是播放的录音呢 what if you made a recording of your speech?
那座懸崖就 And this is the cliff
坐落在这片土地上 right here on the Estate
Iris于此下定决心 再也无法忍受 where Iris decides she can no longer live
Donald对她的所作所为了 with what Donald has done to her.
你的演說開場相當真誠 Now you started the, er, talk genuinely enough.
在台上 拿著麥克風 On stage, holding a microphone.
就是在這个神聖的地方 It's in this sacred place
Donald領略到了非洲巫術的力量 that Donald learns about the power of Obeah.
抱歉 Sorry.
但之后 我想你应该是退到一旁 But then I think you retreated to the side
播放幻灯片了 to let the slides play.
好讓Iris能和他在一起 One that will bind Iris to him,
即使這違背了她的意願 even against her will.
然后就开始播放 Where you then pressed play
你事先准备好的 on the audio file
音频文件了 you'd already set up.
其獨特的設計 似乎给Donald和Iris的 ...with its unique design seems to add a sense of foreboding
每一次相遇 增添了一种不祥的预感 to every encounter that Donald and Iris have.
第二台笔记本是解决这个问题的关键 The second laptop vital to solving this case.
你的笔记本电脑 Your laptop.
那座悬崖 And this is the cliff,
就坐落在这片土地上 right here on the estate,
Iris于此下定决心 再也无法忍受 where Iris decides she can no longer
Donald对她的所作所为了 live with what Donald has done to her.
这段录音持续了五分钟 The recording lasted for five minutes.
当觀眾會以為 And while the audience would've sworn
你仍在台上演講时 that you were still there giving that talk,
事實上 你已经 in fact you had slipped
溜到悬崖上 把一名年輕的女子推下懸崖 away to the clifftop, to push a young woman to her death.
無稽之談 那个女孩是自殺的 This is nonsense. The girl killed herself.
很明顯 她留下了一封遺書 It's obvious. She left a suicide note...
没错 那张字条做的不错 Ah, yes, the note was a nice touch.
你把Esther的指纹按在纸上 The fact that you'd got Esther's fingerprints
上面沒有其他人的指紋，很聰明 onto it and no one else's was smart.
我們都知道 And we already knew that, er,
Esther在文學日的時候幫过你的忙 Esther had helped you with the festival admin.
我是说 很多纸张上都印有她的指纹 I mean there would've been reams of paper with her prints on.
你所要做的就是 All you had to do was, er,
戴着手套 拿一张纸 use some gloves to take a piece
把遗书打印出来然后签名 print the note off and then sign it.
簽名？我怎麼可能？ Sign it? How could I...
你都替Sylvie簽過名了，就在她… Well, you sign Sylvie's books for her when she's, er,
不舒服的時候 indisposed.
下午五点有场签售会 We've got the book signing at 5:00.
你事先簽一簽就好 You can do that beforehand.
告訴賓客我身體不舒服 Tell the guests I'm not well.
對一個擅長偽造簽名的人來說 For someone so practised at forging signatures,
伪造Esther的手寫字一點也不難 it wouldn't be difficult to forge Esther's handwriting.
我相信拿到她的簽名 I'm sure it would've been easy enough
对你来说轻而易举 to lay your hands on a copy of Esther's signature.
然後你只要把假的遺書 And then all you had to do was slip
在你殺了她後 the faked suicide note into her handbag
塞進她的包裡就好 after you'd killed her.
無論再怎麼聰明 那封遺書也讓你露出了馬腳 But as clever as it was that suicide note was also your undoing.
这种打印出来的纸条缺乏可信度 That it was a typed note meant that it somehow lacked credibility.
此外 Esther在紙片 But also the fact that Esther's
下方的簽名 用的是雜牌圆珠笔 signature was written at the bottom in biro,
而不是她常用的萬寶龍鋼筆 rather than the fountain pen that she always used,
也证实了這封遺書 confirmed to me that she neither
非她所寫也非她所簽 wrote it nor signed it.
告訴我他说的不是真的 Tell me this isn't true.
Sylvie忠誠的助理為了保護她而殺人了嗎？ Did Sylvie's loyal assistant kill to protect her employer?
你告诉我們 你是 I mean you've implied to us that you were, er,
Sylvie的私人奴隸 Sylvie's personal slave.
一天工作12個小時 Working 12 hours a day,
为她打點一切，甚至還要送她上床睡觉 doing everything for her, even putting her to bed.
就只為了微薄的工資，这全部都是事實 All for a pittance of a salary. All true.
你甚至沒有機會回家 You didn't even get the chance to visit home.
但事实并非如此 對吧？ That's not quite so true, is it?
因为我們知道 Because we know that Sylvie had visited
Sylvie曾多次出差去英国 the UK several times on work trips.
在过去7年里 Sylvie曾 Sylvie's made four trips there
四次出行去参加其他文学节 in the last seven years for other literary festivals.
据出境记录显示 And our immigration checks show
你從来没有與她同行 that you did not accompany her once.
你不是沒機會回家 It's not that you didn't get the chance to go home.
而是你不想回去 You chose not to.
我們查了你的背景 We've looked into your background.
26年前 你来这里旅游 26 years ago you came here travelling
憑著運氣和堅持 and through luck and perseverance,
你得以替知名作家工作 you landed a job working for a successful author.
這20幾年來，你的人生還真豐富啊 And what a life you've lived over those last 20 odd years.
你能周游世界 和其他知名作家見面 You got to travel the world. Meet other famous authors.
当你休息的时候 And when you haven't been doing that,
你就一直住在这个加勒比天堂里 you've been living in this Caribbean paradise.
美梦成真了 Fantasy made real.
很可惜 Unfortunately,
你發現了事情的真相 you realised that's exactly what it was.
幻想随时都可能破滅 A fantasy that could be destroyed at any time.
你是在Esther初次与你接触时 Was it when Esther first got in touch that you, er,
才意識到Sylvie是个騙子嗎？ first realised that Sylvie was a fraud?
Hmm?
不 我相信你很早就知道了 对吗 No, I think you've known for years, haven't you?
这也是你阻止Esther与她见面的原因 That's why you stopped Esther meeting her.
你早知道Esther的意圖 You knew what Esther was onto.
一旦Sylvie的欺诈行为暴露了 And if Sylvie's fraud had been exposed,
你的损失 you would be the one person who had
甚至比Sylvie还大 even more to lose than Sylvie herself.
梦想将就此止步 The dream would be over forever,
所以你宁愿为此殺害一個無辜的年輕女子 and so you killed an innocent young woman
來保有你的生活 to protect it.
她讓我別無選擇，你看不出來嗎？ She left me no choice, don't you see?
她会毁掉这一切的 She was going to destroy it all.
把她帶走 Take her away.
我別無選擇 I had no choice!
我想以Esther之名为我的 I want to fund a scholarship in Esther's name.
学生設立獎學金 For the students of my work.
我們已經和Esther大學的校長談過了 We spoke to the Head of Faculty at Esther's university.
他們决定为Esther頒發博士學位 They're planning to award her PhD posthumously.
所以很抱歉，从現在开始 这是Lizzie的作品了 So, I'm afraid it's Lizzie's work from now on.
你聽懂了嗎？ Do you understand?
这是你的小說 It's your novel.
你知道 我很少這麼說 You know, I don't say this nearly enough.
你是一個出色的警探 Florence Cassell But you are a brilliant detective, Florence Cassell.
也是一個很好的朋友 And a good friend.
對Esther或我來說都是 To Esther and to me.
如果我遇到麻煩 If ever I was in trouble,
我不知道除了你还有誰会陪在我身邊 I can't think of anyone else I'd rather have on my side.
你餓嗎？ You hungry?
想尝试一下我的厨艺 跟我一起吃晚餐嗎？ Fancy braving my cooking and coming for dinner at the shack?
Martha今晚回來嗎？ Is Martha back tonight?
大概一小時後回来 In an hour.
如果只有你們兩個 If it's just the two of you...
Harry也會來 Harry'll be there too.
我要做牧羊人派 I'm making shepherd's pie.
那我怎麼能說不呢？ Then how can I resist?
我得去準備土豆了 I'd better go and get the spuds on.
準備好了就过去 Join us when you're ready.
Welcome to La Maison Cecile... We've been expecting you.
Let's get you up to the hotel.
It's been lovely, our little holiday romance.
To chance encounters.
We should call the police.
Actually, I am the police.
We know that the hotel is in financial trouble.
We have five possible suspects.
You want to know why he kept it secret?
Who's the key witness?
It's me. What are the chances, eh?
