00:00Oh, certainly, I thought I knew him.
00:22He was family.
00:24I mean, I thought I knew myself.
00:26Well, obviously, I was wrong.
00:37Well, the police reached their conclusions.
00:41My family reached theirs.
00:44And then I reached mine.
00:48Oh, he knew exactly what he was doing.
00:50Because who are we all still banging on about two years later?
00:57And I don't like to speak ill of the dead or anything, but what happened to him?
01:04Bastard deserved it all.
01:06I mean, it's only really got one job.
01:09Your family.
01:11To love you.
01:12Healthily, selflessly, unconditionally.
01:22That's all it needed to do.
01:24Oh, she is.
01:33Don't be able to do me.
01:39And so will she be?
01:45Have been!
01:47Did you hear?
01:49He's a teenager, he's genetically programmed to be lazy.
02:17I wasn't lazy at school.
02:18Well, girls are societally programmed to please, which is why they fall behind when
02:22they enter work.
02:23Failure is such a novel concept when we encounter it, it knocks them sideways.
02:29And this is why I start in love with you, your unerring ability to talk total cock with
02:34absolute conviction.
02:35I think you think that's an insult.
02:38Women actually fall behind because they leave to have children.
02:41Hey, why let the facts get in the way?
02:44Well, whatever.
02:45The lad needs a kick up the arse, tell him to book his bloody ideas up.
02:49He needs his qualifications.
02:51See you in town tomorrow?
02:55Maybe.
02:56Meeting's shifted.
02:57You staying in Paris?
02:59I have a four o'clock in the city.
03:02Okay.
03:03I'll call you in the morning, when I know my day.
03:06Cool.
03:07I'm a bit tired now, baby, so I'm going to say night-night.
03:11Night-night.
03:12And Sal.
03:13I do love you.
03:18Well, I do love you, too.
03:24Very much.
03:26After you see you tomorrow.
03:30Bye-bye.
03:43Bye-bye.
03:47Bye-bye.
03:51Bye-bye.
03:55Bye-bye.
04:15Bye-bye.
04:17Bye-bye.
04:19Bye-bye.
04:23Bye-bye.
04:35Bye-bye.
04:37Bye-bye.
04:39Bye-bye.
04:41Bye-bye.
04:43Bye-bye.
04:45Bye-bye.
04:47Bye-bye.
04:49Bye-bye.
04:51Bye-bye.
04:52Bye-bye.
04:53Who is the cook?
05:02That was quick.
05:04Who found him?
05:05She gets up at 5 a.m. to make his breakfast.
05:07He used to start work at 6.
05:08Why would you start work at 6 a.m. if you owned all this?
05:11Yeah, and was 74.
05:13Did she move him at all?
05:15Tempt any resuscitation?
05:16No, she says not, but she's in a bit of a state, to be honest.
05:18I think they all are.
05:19And did anyone have any clue this was coming?
05:21In fact, the housekeeper just said if ever there was a man, less likely to kill himself.
05:27Okay.
05:28I want to speak to every single person who lives or works here.
05:37You know what, on second thoughts, I think I would like you to come in.
05:41Certainly quite nervous.
05:43Not a problem.
05:44I should be right here by your side.
05:46Thanks, Bobby.
05:51Sally, hello.
05:53Nice surprise.
05:53How are you?
05:58Oh, no.
06:01Oh, no.
06:10Rob.
06:11Sir.
06:12For Mikey.
06:13Oh, wow.
06:14Thank you, sir.
06:14It's not every day you become a teenager, is it?
06:16Time to spend it unwisely.
06:18Have a good day, Rob.
06:18Hello, Mum.
06:22How are you today?
06:38All right, Jono.
06:39Long time.
06:41What's up?
06:44You what?
06:44No.
06:46No.
06:50No.
06:51No.
06:51No.
06:53Gray?
06:55No.
06:56No.
06:57Yourself, baby.
07:04Dad?
07:10What the fuck?
07:11Forensics
07:18Yeah, just to give this scene a quick once over
07:21You know, rule out any other possibilities
07:22What other possibilities?
07:25I don't know, but shooting yourself in the chest is not that common
07:29And I might just Google the guy and he's worth north of a hundred million
07:32From what?
07:34Bricks
07:35Bricks?
07:36From bricks
07:37This is going to turn into one of your investigations, isn't it?
07:44You can have two guys
07:45Thank you
07:47Rose?
07:56Sorry, could you repeat the question?
07:59Of course
07:59I was just asking if you understood everything
08:02What the results mean
08:04That it's now inoperable
08:05Yes
08:07I wonder if he had something
08:10I mean, I can't think of any other reason why he'd do something like that
08:13Would you like to come back another day, Mrs. Wright?
08:18To discuss your protocol, I mean
08:20No, just give Bobby all the details
08:23He's very good with stuff like that
08:25Just give him the details and that'll be fine
08:27I need to call my husband's wife
08:29And I just wanted to say I'm here for you, Sally
08:32Day or night
08:33I do love you, Rose
08:35I mean, what's that about?
08:36I do love you
08:37What did that mean?
08:38That he did
08:39Whatever happened last night
08:41He wanted you to know that he absolutely adored you
08:44As he did the kids
08:45Then how could he do this to us?
08:48How could he believe me and his children like this?
08:51It makes no sense
08:51I know it doesn't
08:53And I'm so, so sorry
08:54Have you told them yet, the children?
08:57I'm travelling back to the school now
08:59Rose, I've got a million calls I have to make
09:03But listen, I'll probably head over to Marsden
09:05First thing tomorrow if you want to come over
09:07Of course, call me when you arrive
09:09God bless my lovely
09:11You too
09:12Bye now
09:13We only spoke yesterday
09:24I rang him about the acquisition
09:28We spoke for 20 minutes about the future
09:31About where he wanted us to be in five years
09:35Well, some practical considerations
09:39I've cancelled the rest of the week's meetings for you
09:42But I've kept the board meeting in for tomorrow
09:44Given some important decisions will need to be made now
09:51What would I do without you?
09:57Your father used to say the same
09:59And he was left-handed?
10:21Yes, he was, yeah
10:22Do you recognise the gun?
10:23And that is his
10:29And he was competent in handling it?
10:34Well, he'd been around guns all his life
10:35He knew how to handle them
10:36Listen, I'd be very surprised if this was accidental
10:42And can you contact all my clients?
10:58ASAP
10:59Tell them I am
10:59I'm going to be off-grid for at least a month
11:03Thank you
11:04Thanks, Paul
11:06But what I do know
11:15What I can say without a subtil of doubt
11:17Is that he cared more about you
11:19Than anyone else in the world
11:21Yeah, right
11:24Josh, your dad adored you
11:28No one who loves someone
11:29Does something like that
11:31Sweetheart
11:32I wasn't that keen on him while he was alive
11:34I like him even less now he's dead
11:37Josh
11:37And who else has a key to the gun cabinet?
11:47Just me, Mr. Wright and Mr. Coates
11:48The estate manager
11:51You're right
11:52And you live here?
11:54No
11:55No, I live in the village with my daughter
11:57Which is where I was from six last night
12:00Got it
12:03Okay, thank you, Mary
12:05All of this
12:15The business
12:16Even moving here
12:17It was all because of him, so
12:19I know, baby
12:20Do they know when the funeral is?
12:24It'll be sometime next week
12:26So yeah
12:28You'll have to do Ipcon
12:30Of course
12:31Look, all I'll say is that
12:36It's you who's been prepping this for two years
12:38It's you the investors are going to want to speak to
12:40I have no choice, Kyle

17:08oh
17:10oh
17:12oh
17:24oh
17:25oh
17:25oh
17:26Help me out here, Dad.
17:44Morning, everyone.
17:45Morning, John.
17:56So, I'd like to start, if I may, by thanking everyone for their kind messages.
18:15My father would have been deeply touched by the many lovely sentiments expressed in them.
18:20He really would.
18:26And then he'd have stuck all the cards in a drawer, said, that's all well and good, but we still have bricks to bake.
18:40And so, with that very much in mind, I'm going to ask you now to look at item number one on the agenda today.
18:48Well, the vote for myself to take over as acting chief executive with immediate effect.
18:59Nothing much to say on this one.
19:01I believe it's what my father would have wanted.
19:05And it's certainly what I believe, as COO, would be in the company's best interest right now.
19:10And so, I ask you to cast your votes now, please.
19:19All those in favour?
19:50And did you know he hadn't told me?
19:57I'd guessed.
19:58And did he say why he hadn't told me?
20:01No.
20:02He seemed sane and rational to you.
20:04He did.
20:04Because you know how he died?
20:06I do.
20:07And, er, all I can say is on the several occasions we met, he always seemed completely in charge of his faculties.
20:18Yeah.
20:18But, er, in terms of what happens now, and as his executor...
20:24I was his executor.
20:27Mr. Wright did leave very specific instructions as to how he wished things to proceed.
20:33A number of these letters are being sent out as we speak, detailing the date, time and place for a will reading.
20:39A reading?
20:40A reading?
20:41Yes.
20:42I'm sorry, I thought you would have brought it here now.
20:44Brought what?
20:45The will, the fucking...
20:46His new will.
20:49I'm so sorry.
20:50Right, er, no.
20:53I'm his wife, Laura.
20:55We have two children.
20:56I need to see his will.
20:58And those were his instructions, I'm afraid.
21:01And this is next Friday?
21:21He, er, he wanted it the day after the funeral, which I believe is Thursday.
21:26And are you allowed to tell me who else is invited?
21:30I'm not, I'm afraid.
21:32He very much wanted it to be a surprise.
21:33I don't know what they're feeding out there.
22:03Whatever it is, you need seconds.
22:05Come on, got a hot pot in the oven.
22:13And he'd had no history of depression or any mental health issues that you knew about?
22:19No.
22:20Not that I was aware of.
22:22I mean, I know he'd been drinking when we spoke, so maybe he wanted to clean the gun or go after some rats or...
22:29I don't know, I just, er, I don't believe he would have done that deliberately.
22:36So you think it was an accident of some sort?
22:39I can't think of any other explanation right now.
22:45And that last call, what time was that?
22:49About 9.30.
22:51And you were here?
22:52No, we also have a place in Paris, I was, I was there for work.
22:56Right.
23:00Okay, well, I'm sure you have lots to sort out.
23:02I will get out of your head.
23:12Sorry, just one more thing.
23:14Did you know anyone who might have wanted any harm to come to your husband?
23:20Harm?
23:21Yeah.
23:26You think someone could have done this to him?
23:29I just have to eliminate all possibilities.
23:35No, no, I'm sorry, I don't.
23:40Okay, well, thank you very much for your time.
23:41This is right, and once again, I'm so sorry for your loss.
23:55I meant to say, Grey rang earlier.
23:59Said he's actually got a dodgy knee, so it'll be one of the undertakers beside me now.
24:03And then, Josh and Jack's estate manager at the back.
24:06Well, I think that's good.
24:11Grey isn't doing it.
24:13Leaves you at the front on your own.
24:15Which is exactly where you should be.
24:26You're head of the family now, John.
24:27Not her.
24:33Or her boy.
24:35Not your brother.
24:38You.
24:40And we want everyone to see that.
24:44Because by God, have you served your time.
24:48We both have.
24:49That business with our solicitors, George...
25:02Stop.
25:03That is something only you and I know about.
25:06It need never be mentioned again, okay?
25:09Not to family, not to work, not to anyone.
25:12Okay?
25:15I'll wait downstairs.
25:16He would have been very proud of you both.
25:37How strong you're being.
25:41Please don't.
25:42It would also have said there's an out like a good blog.
25:49So if you feel like crying, you go right ahead.
25:53That's fine too.
25:55For you too, Mum.
25:57Absolutely.
25:58Absolutely.
26:12I meant to say about your dad.
26:25I know he's genuinely looking forward to seeing you.
26:28So if you could be civil to him.
26:31Just for today.
26:32And for me.
26:34I really appreciate it.
26:36Yeah, of course.
26:37I really appreciate it.
26:54CHOIR SINGS
27:24In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
27:41Please, do sit.
27:41Well, welcome, everyone, to this, our chance today to say a very fond farewell to Jack Kenton Wright,
27:57a much-loved dad, granddad, husband, and friend.
28:02So our chance to say goodbye, but also our chance to celebrate what was a remarkable life.
28:09Jack was born the last of eight children in 1950 in Mary Street, Swinton,
28:15at that time a run-down suburb of Manchester, to John and Elsie Wright,
28:20his father a labourer, his mother a washerwoman, who had themselves met in a Salford workhouse.
28:26It's a new kind of social media company.
28:54And what's your role within the company, Emily?
28:57It's mine. I own it. I'm chief exec.
29:03No, he nabbed me straight out of uni. I don't think I stood a chance.
29:07So, yeah, 25 years now, man and boy.
29:09And what was he like to work for?
29:10Oh, tough. You know, no favouritism.
29:14I mean, the post we're in for the first year.
29:16But fair. Firm, but fair.
29:20And he still rang her, you know, every day.
29:23To ask her advice on things.
29:24Or just a nutter.
29:26So, you and me mum, you're not shagging her around, are you?
29:30Oh, what?
29:30Or planning on getting an itch.
29:32What companions, Graham?
29:34Because, you know, I can't help but notice that you are a bit of a toy boy, Bobby, mate.
29:40Oh, what?
29:40And a confirmed bachelor, she said, before you met her.
29:44So, it all just feels a bit...
29:45As I just said, Graham, we're companions.
29:49And that's all there is to it.
29:50All right, all right, all right.
29:51Keep your head on, big man.
29:52And although they hadn't actually seen each other in the last few years, he felt they
30:05were still very close, spiritually.
30:08In fact, Grey always said he felt him and his dad were cut very much from the same cloth.
30:13Did he?
30:14He thinks that's why they never got on.
30:15Too similar.
30:16Both very creative and also quite self-destructive.
30:20Right, right.
30:21Yes, sorry, excuse me.
30:28And you didn't think to send me a new address?
30:31Dad, you want to move house without telling me whilst I was still living there.
30:35I absolutely did not.
30:37You did?
30:37I came back for a weekend with Mum to another family answering the door.
30:40I was 12.
30:42Uh, that's enough, matey.
30:45I'm fine, Mum.
30:46I'm big and brave and strong, remember?
30:49Okay.
30:51Hey, handsome.
30:52I am.
30:52Look at you, all tall and hairy.
30:54This time I saw you, you were showing me how many bows and peas you could shove under your foreskin.
30:58And he's up there, on every wall, looking down on you.
31:12I know, boy, you'd best be on your toes because if you mess up, well, I won't put it past the old bastard to make a comeback.
31:20Time to go now, John.
31:23Big day tomorrow.
31:24Get some sleep.
31:28Night, son.
31:29Night, darling.
31:36Night.
31:37Good night.
31:37Night.
31:51Aw-aw-aw-aw.
31:51Happy pub.
31:52Aw-aw-aw-aw.
31:53Apples, carrots.
31:54Chicken.
31:55No I went chicken.
31:55Echo?
31:56Billy, I'll tell you, why don't we get, look?
31:58Okay?
31:59Yeah, Mama.
32:00Look, Mama.
32:01Please, aid me.
32:04I'm for you.
32:05That's for you.
32:06That's for me.
32:10Morgan?
32:11Hector, it's Andy Dawson.
32:13I've just done the post-mortem on Jack Wright.
32:15Do you have five minutes to pop over?
32:17Erm...
32:20Er, yeah.
32:21No, sure.
32:22I'll be right now.
32:23All right, let's go.
32:24Seriously.
32:25Shoes.
32:26Leave her.
32:27Come on, come on, come on.
32:33And I don't know why I ever expect my dad to change,
32:35but hey, it's all good.
32:37Just missing you.
32:38Well, I'm missing you too.
32:40Although I've been prepping for IPCON,
32:42so I've not really had too much time.
32:44But listen, they're calling us into the readings,
32:45so I'd better run.
32:46I'll ring you from Heathrow this afternoon.
32:48Yeah, cool.
32:49Okay, love you. Speak later.
32:50Love.
32:53Hey.
32:54Everything okay?
32:55Everything's fine.
32:57I just wanted to say good luck.
32:59And let's hope he kept his word.
33:01I'll call you as soon as it's done.
33:13What I am about to read is not the will itself.
33:17That's a long and detailed legal document,
33:20which is available to be read by everyone invited here today,
33:24as soon as this first document is read.
33:26This document is a letter of wishes,
33:30written in conjunction with the will by Jack.
33:33Both documents were validly signed and witnessed in my presence
33:37just a month or so ago.
33:39To my family, my friends, and my work colleagues,
33:45thank you for coming this morning.
33:47I'm only sorry I couldn't be with you all.
33:51I'm going to be brief as I know you all have busy lives,
33:53and I suspect there'll be lots to discuss after hearing my last wishes.
33:57In which regard, please believe me when I say that no decision was taken lightly,
34:01but after long and careful consideration of what I believed to be right and fair.
34:05After all bequests have been affected,
34:07the residue of my estate has been taken lightly.
34:09I'm only sorry I couldn't be with you all.
34:11I'm going to be brief as I know you all have busy lives,
34:13and I suspect there'll be lots to discuss after hearing my last wishes.
34:17In which regard, please believe me when I say that no decision was taken lightly,
34:21but after long and careful consideration of what I believed to be right and fair.
34:27After all bequests have been affected,
34:29the residue of my estate shall be left to the three charities stipulated in my full last will and testament.
34:39The bequests.
34:45To my estate manager and friend, Derek Coates,
34:50I bequeath the sum of one million pounds.
34:57To my work colleague and friend, Annie Rouse,
35:01I bequeath the sum of one million pounds.
35:05To my first wife, Rose Wright,
35:11I bequeath the sum of five hundred thousand pounds.
35:17To my eldest daughter, Asher Bell,
35:23I bequeath the sum of two million pounds.
35:27I should say that we are still trying to track Asher down.
35:35To my granddaughter, Emily Wright,
35:37Emily Wright,
35:39I bequeath the sum of 15 million pounds.
35:45My company shareholding,
35:47and my wish she'd be appointed Chief Executive of J.K. Wright Ltd.
35:55To my daughter, Daisy,
35:57I bequeath the sum of 10 million pounds.
36:03To be held in a trust until she is 30.
36:07To each of my sons, John and Graham,
36:11I bequeath the sum of 10,000 pounds.
36:17And to my wife, Sally,
36:27I leave the rent-free tenancy of my London house,
36:31my Parisian apartment,
36:33and Marston Manor for five years,
36:35when they will then all be sold
36:37and the proceeds given to charity.
36:41And that's it.
36:55I mean, I was his first born.
36:57So no matter what had gone on between us,
37:00how could he do that to me?
37:02How could he have been so cruel?
37:06No way is that his real will.
37:08No fucking way!
37:10And if you think I'm just gonna sit here
37:12and accept that bullshit,
37:14you are fucking tripping.
37:1825 years of loyalty.
37:2025 years of doing his bidding
37:24and being his petty little black dog.
37:28And this was how he repaid us.
37:30Not a chance, Missy.
37:32Those shares are ours.
37:34So not a bloody chance
37:36you're getting your fucking hands on them.
37:38Yeah, it was grim.
37:40Not just her, but later my own father,
37:42shouting at me as if it was somehow all my fault.
37:46And do you know what?
37:48For years, for way too long,
37:50I thought it probably was.
37:54Now, not so much.
37:57John, I promise,
37:58I had no idea this was his intention.
38:00And I'm as shocked and upset as everyone else.
38:02So please-
38:03Stop!
38:04I have to say, in that moment,
38:06in that precise instant,
38:08it all seemed very clear
38:11that his death wasn't an accident.
38:13He wasn't the victim of some awful crime.
38:16In that moment, having heard what I just had,
38:18I fully believed he must have lost his mind.
38:20Or else how could he leave more to his estate manager
38:24than to one of our children?
38:27That's what I thought then.
38:34By my account, my son and I have short 40 million.
38:38So don't go spending it just yet, will you?
38:42Because we'll be wanting it back.
38:44Every single penny.
38:48The results of the gunshot residue swap.
39:03It's negative.
39:04Exactly.
39:06What did you swap?
39:08His hands, arms, torso, head.
39:11And?
39:12And there's nothing.
39:13No residue on Jack Wright anywhere.
39:16Which means?
39:18Which means?
39:19Which means?
39:20I just can't see how he could have fired this gun himself.
39:23And I know what you're thinking.
39:24She's the one in prison.
39:25And I know what you're thinking.
39:26She's the one in prison.
39:32Except it's not as simple as that.
39:33Is it?
39:34Except it's not as simple as that.
39:35Is it?
39:37Y'all.
39:38Maybe the bad, bad thing.
39:39Maybe the bad thing.
39:40Maybe the bad thing.
39:41Maybe the bad thing.
39:42What?
39:43Maybe the bad thing.
39:44Are you dead?
39:45Maybe the bad thing.
39:46It's not as simple as that.
39:47That's why she's gone.
39:49in prison. Except it's not as simple as that. Is it?
