00:01I was googled a guy and he's worth more than a hundred million.
00:04I'd be very surprised if this was accidental.
00:06Did you know anyone who might want any harm to come to your husband?
00:09The will we draw is now null and void.
00:11I'm his firstborn. He'll still have looked after me.
00:1450 grand. Bye next Friday.
00:16To my granddaughter, my wish she'd be appointed Chief Executive of JK Wright.
00:21My son and I are about 40 million short, so don't go spending it just yet.
00:26I just can't see how he could have fired this gun himself.
00:30I've come from nothing, remember? Like Jack.
00:40I had to fight for everything all my life.
00:44That was just second nature to me.
00:48To fight.
00:53To fight like hell.

01:49I want to do it. Give it.
01:57What?
01:58Dad.
01:59Sorry, say again, fella.
02:00Is she?
02:01It's who?
02:02Mum.
02:04Is mum what?
02:06Ever coming back.
02:10I've got to go to work, but let's talk about this tonight properly.
02:14You and me. Man to man.
02:16Alright?
02:18I promise.
02:19I love you.
02:20Alright, go finish your breakfast.
02:22Mate, sir, thank you for coming early today. Life's over.
02:25Okay, goodbye trouble.
02:26You too, mate.
02:27Hey, well, good luck with the test.
02:42What I don't understand, George, is you told me you'd spoken to him.
02:45You told me he said it was all fine.
02:47Don't you raise your voice to me, Jonathan.
02:49Not after what you've let him do to you.
02:51Don't you dare.
02:52I'm not raising my voice.
02:53I'm just saying I was under the impression he told you the will was unchanged.
02:57Was my darling was I?
02:59I mean, it's not even the money.
03:00We don't need the actual money.
03:01It's the respect, isn't it?
03:03Or lack of it.
03:04I mean, is that what he really thought of me?
03:07Is that all he thought I was worth?
03:10Yes.
03:11Clearly.
03:14The real question here, John.
03:16The real issue is not what he thought of you.
03:18It's what you're going to do about it.
03:20What are you going to do to prove the nasty old prick was wrong?
03:24What do you want me to do?
03:26I want you to contest it, obviously.
03:31The will.
03:32And you need to contest it hard.
03:37You remember hard, don't you?
03:56Mum, will you just stop a minute?
04:10You're not listening.
04:11He was too drunk, so there was zero point in pressing him.
04:17Yes, and I will.
04:18As soon as he wakes, as soon as I know what he got,
04:20then I will make a decision.
04:23I've got to go.
04:25Babe.
04:26Oh.
04:27It rises.
04:30And how are we feeling this morning?
04:32Top of the world, babe.
04:34After yesterday's events, let me tell you.
04:37Top of the fucking world.
04:47And what about Daisy?
04:48Daisy, he did leave something.
04:53Yes.
04:58Ten million.
04:59Held in trust until you're thirty.
05:01The fuck?
05:02Oh, my God.
05:04Why would he do that?
05:05I'm sorry, Joshy.
05:06Why would he do that to us?
05:08Right this minute, I'm not entirely sure.
05:09But how he died, the fact that his old will, which I saw just a year or so ago, was totally normal, added to certain behaviours I saw in the last few months, suggests to me some sort of mental health issue.
05:29So my guess is this isn't about either of you or me. This is about him. About stuff going on in his head.
05:43And I promise you, whatever caused him to make these awful decisions, I will get to the bottom of it and I will make it good. Okay?
05:54I can't tell you specifically, babe. It's structured in trusts and bonds and equities. But enough.
06:11Enough for what?
06:14For what I promised you. For what you need. What we need to be happy.
06:18It's just I saw some stuff online. About some rows and stuff.
06:26Fake news, love. Trust me. I was in the room.
06:31Just remember, I love you. And I'm going to make you a star.
06:49I'm actually not sure what I'm doing.
06:51It's the truth. I had slightly spinning.
06:53I'm not surprised.
06:55It was quite a thing yesterday, wasn't it?
06:58I mean, he obviously had great faith in you and all deserved, of course, but...
07:03It was still an extraordinary thing he did, wasn't it?
07:07Why do you think he did it?
07:09I have no idea.
07:13He always was a dark horse, wasn't he?
07:15I need to head back to London.
07:19I need to head back to London.
07:49What is it you're looking for? Exactly.
08:02No, I'm just trying to get a feel for the man.
08:04No sense of who he was.
08:06He was a remarkable man.
08:09looking for exactly no I'm just trying to get a feel for the man no sense of
08:15who he was he was a remarkable man well there you go if I didn't have stood here
08:21in this room I might not have understood how you felt about him is this his he
08:28was old school with diaries mm-hmm and after my own heart and we'll need any
08:34other computers he used as well please just the desktop all right I'll send
08:39someone to pick that up I'll also need details of the people at the wheel
08:43reading on Friday who got what to the nearest million I have to say this will
08:52seems rather intrusive for a suicide oh sorry no I should have said no Jack
08:59Wright didn't kill himself Joe Wright was murdered
09:08John it's Annie you need to call me urgently
09:16if you need to come home if it all feels too much I'll send Joseph to come and get
09:31you both at the end of the week love you I just think right now you really benefit
09:38from being with your friends from the distraction of work and from some
09:40structure in five years this will be the bit of the therapist gasps out I'm half an
09:48hour wait you're she
09:51wow I know so what was it shareholding 51% so you'd have control of the company I would if I wanted
10:12that if any challenges to the will unsuccessful if I stayed then are you
10:22even considering that I don't know we have a business here though that we've
10:29spent the last three years developing our future is here is it not yes almost
10:35certainly Jesus what is this I have the pitch at ipcom tomorrow this isn't
10:39exactly instilling me with confidence I'm just struggling to process
10:43everything struggling to process what whether you come back to continue
10:46growing our company or stay there to make fucking bricks Kyle in a failing
10:50city in a failing you do know you live in America right you know I can't do
10:56this now Kyle let's talk tomorrow maybe but you did all that shit at law school
11:03right well we did the basics but so on what grounds could I you know challenge
11:11your will well like fraud suspicion of coercion or it being rewritten or
11:20something capacity so if someone was not in their right mind when they wrote it and
11:29also just challenge them because it's kind of unfair unfair it's called failing to
11:35make reasonable provision as I remember okay interesting thanks man that's really
11:42helpful actually whilst I've got you my salary didn't come through last week yeah
11:51the payroll company got hacked but I am on it
11:54John oh he's a corner mr. right there's a bloke outside waiting to see you he says
12:01he's a bailiff and and he wants his money or he'll cut your cock off okay just for
12:11future reference Ruby that is not generally bailiffy language under no
12:18circumstances let him in so this is his extended adult family plus two employees
12:29all of whom were invited to a will reading on Friday which by all accounts got pretty
12:35feisty there's a big winners and some surprising losers these guys did well these
12:44guys not so much now we're still trying to trace Asha Bell the daughter of his
12:51second wife records showed that she died in 2014 and I'm gonna be speaking later
12:57to the solicitor who drafted the will a document that his PA suggests was only
13:02very recently altered but killing someone may be in revenge for changes that cut you
13:08out maybe to prevent someone from making changes that would cut you out maybe even
13:13to get your hands quicker or money that you thought was coming your way all of
13:16these seem as good a place to start in this investigation as any so but look
13:25through this and find any entries connected to this lot please I just want
13:28to get a sense of who he was seeing in the months leading up to his death
13:30friends families colleagues yes Sam I want you on the last mrs. right I just
13:36want as much background info as you can find yeah and cat I'm gonna need
13:40confirmable alibis on the day of his death for all these runners and riders
13:44all right thanks guys oh and why did he go out there to this building on a
13:49winter's night
13:51all right well hello Graham did you know did I know what did you know what was going down Friday no I had no idea your mother said no one did
13:58you better fucking not have bobby bollocks I'm telling you lad
14:05I think the sooner we start the chemo the better doctor sorry can I call you back mom
14:09hello Graham this is a nice surprise how cuz you've let that happen let what happen oh don't give me no
14:25I'm sorry can I call you back mom
14:30Mum.
14:31Sorry, can I call you back?
14:33Mum.
14:33Hello, Graeme.
14:35This is a nice surprise.
14:36How could you've let that happen?
14:37Let what happen?
14:38Oh, don't give me that.
14:40You spoke to him most days.
14:42You must have known.
14:43I was as shocked as you.
14:44I mean, three fucking wives back.
14:47And you get half a mil.
14:49As I said.
14:50Well, I want you to know,
14:52I will not be taking this lying down.
14:54I will be speaking to John,
14:55and we will be challenging it.
14:57No.
14:57Oh, fucking yes.
15:00Because that money,
15:01the money he's given you,
15:02I think you know that's mine.
15:05In your heart.
15:06I think you know that.
15:08And what exactly will you be spending it on, Graeme?
15:11Oh, here we go.
15:12Because that's what we're dealing with here, innit?
15:14Your preconceptions and fucking...
15:17historical judgments.
15:19Historical?
15:20Did you say something to him?
15:21Did I what?
15:22Oh, you did, you cow.
15:24I can see it in your eyes.
15:25You absolute bitch.
15:27You turned him against me.
15:29Well, you never needed my help on that front.
15:32Oh, that's nice.
15:33From me own mother.
15:34You just called me a bitch, Graeme.
15:37Graeme!
15:38Nobody calls me Graeme apart from you.
15:40Nobody has for 30 fucking years.
15:42I will see you in court, Mother.
15:49Had he given you any indication he'd made these changes?
16:17None.
16:18And your relationship with him was otherwise good?
16:20Very.
16:21And his with your children?
16:22Really good.
16:23And, sorry, I have to ask these questions.
16:25No other people in the marriage?
16:27Nope.
16:29Always better, I know, up front.
16:31No.
16:32We were very happy.
16:33Okay.
16:34So, a couple of top-line thoughts.
16:39Your son is relatively straightforward.
16:42Josh was his child and contesting he didn't make reasonable provisions should be fairly easy.
16:46And you?
16:47You said you signed a prenup?
16:49Yes.
16:51Obviously, I need to look at that.
16:52See what qualifications and exclusions and, in the event ofs, there are.
16:57But, all being equal, the changes he made would seem very unreasonable.
17:02Unless, for whatever reason the defense could show in some way, they weren't.
17:07They weren't.
17:11And are there any other options?
17:14Such as?
17:16Well, I am starting to wonder if he was of sound mind.
17:22You think he was mad?
17:24No, but I think he may have had dementia.
17:30Hey.
17:31Hey.
17:32Hey.
17:33Hey, what happened?
17:36I called you so many times.
17:37I'm really sorry.
17:38hey hey hey what happened called you so many times i'm really sorry i just been a slightly
17:58nuts a few days so what did you say to him why he's left me all his shares and 15 million
18:13oh my god yeah oh my god oh my god i mean wow like it's astonishing like
18:33it's good though yeah i guess i just
18:37why do i feel so strange i mean we weren't prepared for him dying now look none of this
18:47was meant to happen for a very long time so of course it's gonna feel strange listen it's gonna be fine
18:59trust me it will be up steve
19:23does the autopsy mention anything about it i'm not sure they were very interested in his brain given the
19:28very large hole he had in his chest but the big advantage of a capacity challenge as i remember
19:33from law school is that if we can prove it the current will becomes invalid it would you'd revert
19:38to the previous version which i presume you've seen we drew it up together so you'd be happy with that
19:48oh yes okay but first up i suggest we enter a caveat on the estate of your husband to stop
19:53probate being applied for okay we should also probably instruct a capacity expert right and then
19:59if they feel the evidence you provide them with regarding your husband's behavior over the last
20:03year or so is robust i'm thinking we might need a second autopsy right well that's not possible i'm
20:12afraid we buried him last week
20:23i'm afraid
20:39how you'd expect
20:42that i saw they all reacted how you'd expect
20:44and probate how long draconal will take
20:54it's gonna get messy boobs seriously we're all gonna need to buckle up it's gonna get really messy
21:03and so following up from the results of our forensic examination mrs wright and now that this is a
21:16murder inquiry we are asking everyone closely connected to your ex-husband all his friends
21:21his colleagues and family to provide evidence of where they were on the day he was killed so that we
21:26can eliminate them from our inquiries whether that be corroboration from a work colleague i believe you
21:32were in paris that day or it might be corroboration from a friend a partner or another family member
21:38but however you do it we will now need to know exactly where you were on the 12th of november so we
21:43can effectively cross you off our list
22:04emily to see you i should have rung apologies no no it's fine can i get your tea or no i'm good thanks
22:11sure yeah not sure you would have retired already not sure if money was ever annie's primary driver
22:22sorry bad joke please have a seat
22:32so
22:32how are you yeah still slightly in shock if i'm honest it's been a crazy few days hasn't it
22:48so did the police speak to you yet uh just a brief call about providing an alibi i presume everyone at
22:53the reading got one can you believe it do you know what as horrifically inappropriate as it might sound
22:59i actually find that easier to deal with than that he killed himself i know what you mean i mean i
23:05guess right now pretty much every possibility seems beyond awful yes
23:13emily it's lovely to see you but we are in the middle of an acquisition
23:16specimens yes and given that all this will be yours one day soon possibly i'm sure you'd want me to be
23:23bending my mind to the job in hand absolutely i just came to say
23:30i've always admired you john immensely and i'm so embarrassed about friday
23:37obviously i had no idea he was going to do that otherwise i would have tried to persuade him against
23:41it because from everything i saw when i worked here from everything i've known about you my entire
23:46life from everything granddad told me about you i can't think of a better person to run this company
23:51than you well that's very sweet emily i'm sure dad never said anything of the sort but thank you for
23:59a creditable fib well it's true but either way my sense is i'm going to be here for a while now just to
24:07get my thoughts straight so i just wanted to say if you ever needed a friendly ear from the fellow chief
24:13exec please do call a fellow chief exec well i appreciate that thank you
24:22i'll get out of your hair and thank you for dropping by
24:27oh this is probably nothing but i have a friend who works at the financial conduct authority
24:32and fyi there's a rumor going around saying that they're about to investigate kkg
24:37who audited specimens right yes so rumor is kkg have an algorithm error on their valuation
24:42multiples this is in the states she said it's a global thing the word is their valuations are up
24:47to five percent out like five percent too high jesus and i was thinking that would equate to nearly
24:52a million on the spectrum's cost right um anyway i just thought you should know really nice to see
24:58you john have a great day now bye
25:12what about the calls did you get hold of everybody oh they were all appropriately horrified to have
25:27been asked for alibis graham wright claimed to have not even spoken to his dad for over five years
25:32interesting emily wright was obviously in california so i think we can at least rule her out okay
25:37all right thanks cat i am i'm going to head into the old man's solicitors now so i'll speak soon
25:41okay all right bye bye the yeah the 5th of august jack and i then had two further meetings over the
25:50next three months or so finished it in october and then he obviously died mid-november okay and you
25:58didn't know him before he instructed you you weren't friends you weren't a confidant it was a it was
26:01really professional relationship entirely right and did he discuss any of the decisions he was
26:06making with you yes i mean it's part of my job to check he knew what he was doing that he had capacity
26:13and to alert him to anything i thought might provoke legal challenge was that much oh yes
26:22okay did he give you any sense at all as to why he was changing his will
26:26no or changing noise no although given the changes it's not a big leap to assume i was hired to
26:34keep the new will from his wife so did the new will change a lot from the original one
26:40the changes weren't many but they were significant
26:42okay so what were they so his granddaughter's bequest went up from 5.5 percent of the company
26:56shareholding uh to 51 percent with basically all of his shares well that's an extraordinary shift
27:04did he not say anything about that nope oh what so he actually did say one thing uh about john
27:16i'd forgotten about it till now so john's shares went from 10 to zero in the new will and after i read
27:23the draft of that change back to jack he nodded as if to approve and then he muttered something along
27:30the lines of he'll thank me for it in the end what do you think he meant by that i've actually no idea
27:44okay and then uh sally and their son joshua so her bequest went from 15 to zero joshua's from
27:5210 to zero and she lost their three properties sorry a wife doesn't automatically get 50 percent
28:01except there was also a prenup which had various clauses and exclusions in the event of divorce or
28:06death which were compliant with the will okay all right can i see that pre-nup please i'll dig it out
28:13thank you very much you mean so we are the best lawyers we band together three amigos
28:20and we get back what's rightfully ours and have you spoken to sam not yet no but she's bound to
28:28contest it isn't she after what she said in the room and you're aware that any challenge if
28:31successful would almost certainly mean taking money from mum and emily from your own daughter
28:38there's a lot of dough sloshing around john does loads go to charities oh that's okay then let's take
28:43it from the poor and needy instead i'm poor johnno i'm needy and he owes me mate for who he was what he
28:54did to me or didn't i should say he owes us all let me think about it that is all i ask so where were
29:05you how was i when the night dad died why just curious obviously they're asking us all
29:17uh i was out and about mate where were you at home with my wife as i told them
29:25good for you very cozy here's a cold big man sooner rather than later yeah oh
29:42did you ever see the old world channel
29:44no mate i didn't sorry
29:58gives a call mate
29:58to be honest before the will reading it was out of your reach financially then when jack left you
30:15what he did i mean i really think you should think about it how much would something like this cost well
30:23they say you should set aside 400 000 although it might be significantly less than that and how
30:30good is it good good on average they think it gives patients an extra five years i also think it's time
30:37to tell your family what's going on you'll do that for me bobby of course i will whatever you need
30:46hello hello hello is that emily it is uh emily it's bobby your nan's friend oh hello bobby everything
31:00okay all good thanks um your nan wanted me to ring a few people to tell you something about health tell me
31:08what
31:08fuck fuck fuck sorry mate change your plan don't stop uh can you uh enter kensington please
31:24fall down please boss man
31:28bobby what i'm a bit busy right now mate
31:34please send her all my love tell her i'll come up and see you since i can
31:38i will do graham and john know graham does uh i'm about to ring john now okay well thanks again for
31:46letting me know bye now
31:57that was bobby oh yeah he ran me earlier listen if you need to head home to see your mum
32:05no you're all right i've got stuff to do down here first and it didn't sound that serious
32:12right i think it's not brilliant great
32:16to be honest with you me and me mum had a bit of a rook
32:20yesterday so i weren't in the mood to talk to him
32:23right well i think you should go and see her as soon as you can
32:25okay okay yeah
32:31but the case what do you think are you in what's your brother said he is 100 with me
32:37is he definitely well he will be
32:48let me think about it
32:49what's all we ask
32:56um the old will sal the one before did he look after me in that
33:03he did great
33:08did he yeah of course he did how much
33:13i don't remember the specifics but enough i remember that enough
33:27i don't remember any rouse ever coming up here no okay and john
33:48mainly christmases i mean he certainly wasn't here in the months before jack died okay and then graham
33:53and his father were largely estranged right i mean everybody knows that like they've not
34:02spoken since way back
34:04okay because you have to ask him about that i mean i'm just a housekeeper yeah but your
34:11sense is that he hadn't been up here for a long time either not for years as far as i'm aware
34:17and where he was found any idea what he was doing out there at that time of night
34:22there's pigeons of course
34:25he's pigeons 10 o'clock

37:26so
37:40so
37:46so
37:52I don't know.
38:22Oh, unless the investigation finds his murder was in some way connected to the woods, it shouldn't affect any challenge.
38:41Although I should add, if a benefactor were found to have killed him under forfeiture rules, they would not be able to inherit.
38:48Right.
38:48So this all looks good, and I'll forward it to our expert, but it is all anecdotal.
38:52Very much your opinion, to have a serious chance of winning from the dementia angle.
38:56I'm afraid we really would need to do our own autopsy.
38:59Which means if you agreed to that, and presumably we got agreement from his children and any other relevant parties,
39:05basically, we'd be looking at exhumation.
39:09Yes.
39:11So I need to ask how you'd feel about that.
39:24I think I'd feel fine.
39:27You think?
39:27I would.
39:31Definitely.
39:33We need you to come up.
39:34I mean, what sort of a woman does that?
40:02Tries to dig up her own husband.
40:08What does that say about her?
40:10Personally, I think everyone overreacted.
40:14I mean, let's not forget, he was fucking dead.
40:17Do you know what I mean?
40:18Sorry, what was the question?
40:29Most people, even on a murder investigation, most people you encounter are normal, decent human beings.
40:37This bunch.
40:38It was a key moment, yes.
40:48I mean, I don't regret it, but...
40:52Certainly, we all went downhill pretty fast from that moment on.
40:56Let the games begin!
40:59Let the games begin!
40:59We'll be back.
