Please be aware that
this programme contains
graphic scenes of childbirth
that viewers may find upsetting.
Your mum was from Kingston. Suppose
you could look up your family.
Mercy Stevens, Port Royal, Jamaica.
She's your mother's sister.
I'm a priestess.
I advise in spiritual matters.
I was hoping, on my retirement
you might oversee the day-to-day
running of Hope Hill,
as a freeman.
Me tell yuh fa stay outta di room!
Yuh opened di trunk!
CUDJOE:
This is not Obeah. He's possessed.
CLAUDIA: Possessed by what?
By Charlotte. We are all at risk
as long as she can
tear something from us.
(DRAMATIC NOTE)
Dad.
I'm coming home, OK? (PANTING)
But if you don't hear from me in 24
hours, call the embassy in Jamaica.
Claudia McKenzie, I'm arresting you
on suspicion
of aiding and abetting a criminal.
(MUSIC INTENSIFIES, CONCLUDES)
(INHALES)
That everything?
If it were up to me, no.
But it's been approved by the DPP,
so yes, you're free to go.
I read your first statement.
You know why Angelo
sprayed rum on you?
(CURIOUS MUSIC)
Some people think it protects you
from bad spirits.

Claudia.
(SIGHS) Dad?!
What are you doing here?
(SIGHS) Oh my God. You're safe.
Been worried sick about you.
What happened to your head?
(SIGHS)
You wouldn't believe me.
(SOFTLY) Hey.
Hey, come on. Try me.
Claudia, there's no such thing as
ghosts. People don't live forever.
I know that.
But I also know Cudjoe saved my life.
(FUNKY MUSIC PLAYING FAINTLY)
You been talking to Mercy?
This has nothing to do with Mercy!
OK, look.
The guy's gone AWOL, right?
(SIGHS)
Police can't find him.
You can't find him.
Maybe he just
doesn't wanna be found.
(PHONE RINGS)
One sec.
Hello?
Claudia. It's George Delal.
Mr East has decided
to return the inheritance.
- He's in my office now,
starting the paperwork.
- No!
No! Do not let him sign ANYTHING
until I get Music there, OK?
I'll be back in an hour! Less!
Claudia?
(TENSE MUSIC)
WOMAN: Hello? Excuse me?!
(OMINOUS NOTE)
Oh my God.
(SIGHS)
Come.
(MUSIC FADES OUT)
Are you OK?
You have to put in an injunction!
What?
You can't do this. Look at him!
But we're almost there!
No, no, no, no.
He is not capable
of making a decision!
He has no autonomy.
This is not his choice!
He came to us.
No, no.
This is all wro-

Good afternoon.
I couldn't get through on the phone.
I thought we sorted everything.
(CHUCKLES)
This is Jamaica,
not so straightforward.
I may have found a way
to expedite the process,
but I can't get hold of Mr East.
Is there any way
you could connect us?
You're in luck. One moment.
(PEN SCRAPING SLOWLY)
(INHALES)
I'm restoring some antiques.
You all done?
Mr East, I wouldn't be doing my job
if I didn't make this
absolutely clear.
This is not
an apportioned agreement.
The entire 50-million-pound estate
will be returned to Mr Connaught.
You won't see any share of it.
(UNSETTLING MUSIC)
