07:25Oh, um, I'm sorry to turn up on the house, thank you.
07:32Tony! Tony!
07:36Tony, Tony!
07:38Could you call the police? We need to get Tony's body released.
07:42Um, I've asked them, but, um, I just, I think it would sound better coming from you.
07:48Oh, you've cut yourself.
07:49Oh, um, I was opening a can.
07:53What with, a sword?
07:55Have the police spoken to you, Ruth?
07:57Have they given you any indication of what they're thinking?
08:00Well, haven't you heard? They've arrested Nicola.
08:05What?
08:06Um, I spoke to them. Not Bergerac, a different one.
08:11About an hour ago.
08:13Well, why would they think that she had anything to do with it?
08:16She didn't even know Tony.
08:17Oh, well, they didn't say.
08:20Look, Nicola and I were in touch.
08:24She thought you killed Alan and Tony knew.
08:26And, well, that's what I thought.
08:29That's why I came to see you yesterday.
08:32Look, I'm, I'm so sorry, Monica.
08:34I just, I assumed you'd been told.
08:43Um, Mum, uh, needs to be alone.
08:48Oh, yes, no, of course.
08:50Um, sorry.
09:04And you'll speak to the police about releasing the body?
09:08Yes, sir. Leave that with us.
09:10Now, Ruth.
09:10I just think it's really important...
09:11What?
09:32Barney.
09:33Huh?
09:34Forensics have come back with the final report on the card from Alan Barton.
09:37Yeah, I've seen a report. The card is genuine.
09:40Yeah, that was the, um, the interim. This is, this is the full file.
09:43Simon, give me the headlines.
09:44Okay, so they compared the card with three samples from friends.
09:48They said the handwriting is superficially adept, but upon further examination,
09:52there are enough inconsistencies to suggest it was not written by Alan Barton.
09:57What?
09:58It was principally in the letter formation, the pressure, slant and the spacing.
10:01Hang on, so Michael forged the card? Does it say that in there?
10:04It does, yeah, basically in the conclusion at the end.
10:10It wasn't suicide, it wasn't Monica.
10:15It was Michael.
10:24Davey, get two cars ready.
10:26Yes, boss.
10:26Cara.
10:27Fuck it.
10:28Everyone, listen up.
10:46Whatever.
10:58Whatever.
10:59Go ahead.
11:01Whatever.
11:02In my brain.
11:07Okay.
11:09Get up.
11:09Holy crap.
11:13It's not.
11:14Wait.
11:27Why have you arrested Nicola?
11:30She was at the wedding.
11:31That's a lie.
11:32No.
11:34There are pictures.
11:35There was blood on her coat.
11:38And five years ago, she said one day she was going to take away the thing you love most in
11:42the world.
11:43Monica, just listen to me.
11:46You shut up.
11:48Shut up!
11:51Monica.
11:52Shut up.
11:53Just be quiet.
11:57Because I need to think.
12:05Okay, and then, and then, and then it's over, it's over, and then it's over.
12:16You never answered my question about the best way to die.
12:22What's suffocation like?
12:24It's pretty unpleasant, I imagine.
12:26Worse than this.
12:34Well then.
12:51What are you doing?
12:52I'm looking for a plastic bag.
13:20I'm coming back.
13:35You, Christ, you, you have fucked my life.
13:43Do you know that?
13:44I've lost two husbands and now my daughter because of what you did.
13:49So what's next, Michael?
13:50What's the next plan?
13:51I've got some aunts and uncles.
13:53Do you want their addresses?
13:54You could set fire to their houses.
14:02You've taken everything from me.
14:06Every last scrap.
14:10You've eaten me alive.
14:17So come on, then.
14:22Where are we going?
14:24The cellar.
14:43Oh, Jesus.
14:44What the fuck?
14:45Oh, my God.
14:47Michael killed Alan.
14:49They're going to kill me, too.
15:06Run!
15:14Where is he?
15:15I don't know.
15:19I don't know.
15:20Oh, God.
15:23Oh, God!
15:24I don't know!
15:29Oh!
15:30Hey!
15:31Stop!
15:31Stop!
15:31Michael, don't do this.
15:33Look, I spoke to your mum.
15:36She said it was an accident.
15:37I understand that.
15:38Then let me go.
15:39Let me run away!
15:40Put the knife down.
15:42And we can talk.
15:44Michael.
15:45Hey.
15:46Hey.
15:48Oh, God.
15:50Oh, God.
15:51Oh, God.
15:53It's all right, Michael.
15:54Oh, God.
15:55Come on, we've got to face facts.
15:57We've got to be big and brave.
16:00And we've got to say, come on, do your worst.
16:04But you know that already, though, don't you?
16:06You're so clever.
16:07I tell everyone.
16:08He runs rings around me, I say.
16:11What's your, what's your chess ranking?
16:15200?
16:18188 in the world.
16:20Well, there you are, then.
16:22So, come on, let Ruth go now.
16:24Come on.
16:25Poor Ruth.
16:26Look, she's so rumpled.
16:28It's all right.
16:29Come on.
16:30It's over, love.
16:31It's over.
16:34That's it.
16:35Good boy.
16:36Good boy.
16:37There we are.
16:44There we are.
16:45That's it.
16:49There's my Michael bear.
16:51That's it.
16:53It's all right.
16:54Mom's here.
16:57Mom's here now.
16:58Come on.
16:59It's all right.
17:00It's all right.
17:01You're all right.
17:02You're all right.
17:04It's all right, Michael.
17:06Mom's here.
17:12You know, the most interesting thing about all this is, no Jim Bergerac.
17:15Now, I'm not saying he was holding us back, but it is funny how the whole thing resolves the minute
17:19he steps away.
17:27I think we've found him.
17:29I think we've found him.
17:45So, uh, would you excuse me one second?
17:47Here, we'll read of that.
17:49Can I help?
17:50Yes, I'm looking for Nigel.
17:51Nigel Morton?
17:52Right.
17:53Um, I think you've got the wrong address, so...
17:55Um, but this is his restaurant.
17:57Um, no.
18:00This is...
18:01Well, it's not really anything right now.
18:03Well, they want to turn it into one of those paint-your-own-pottery places, but I sort of feel
18:08that's had its day.
18:10But we, um, we came here a couple of days ago.
18:14He showed me around.
18:16Wait, was this Tuesday?
18:18Because we did hire it out that day.
18:20Who to?
18:21Um, students?
18:23They were making a film, I think.
18:25We wouldn't normally do that sort of thing, but then we thought, you know what?
18:28Let's give something back.
18:30But then, well, this, um, older gentleman came in to collect the keys.
18:34He could have been a mature student, I suppose.
18:37What did he look like?
18:39Slightly balding.
18:40Late 60s.
18:41Absolutely charming, to be fair.
18:44Are you all right?
18:45Yes.
18:46Uh, thank you.
18:48I'm sorry to have interrupted.
19:11I'm sorry.
19:41You should have told us you were coming here.
19:43Yeah, it was just a spur-of-the-moment thing.
19:45Again, this lone wolf bullshit.
19:48I know.
19:49This changes nothing about Nicola.
19:51We are charging her with Tony's murder.
19:53That makes sense.
19:53Yeah, and I don't want you within ten miles of it.
19:56I won't be.
19:57We had an agreement, Jim.
19:58It's all yours, Bonnie.
20:01We were on our way here.
20:03Clearly.
20:06It's lone wolf bullshit.
20:38You'll be kind to Michael, won't you?
20:40Yeah, we're kind to everyone, Monica.
20:43How's Nicola?
20:45I don't know.
20:46She's at the station.
20:48She'll be charged later today.
20:53When Tony said no more secrets, what do you think he meant?
21:00Indulge me.
21:01I don't know.
21:02Maybe he was talking about the accident.
21:03No, not Alan.
21:05Not where his body is.
21:06Tony didn't know anything about Alan.
21:08So I keep coming back to this cottage.
21:09Tony didn't have any money, so you needed to sell it.
21:12But you said no, and what, he was just fine with that?
21:15Well, it was my house.
21:16Yeah, I reckon he could be pretty persuasive, though.
21:18And what else was he going to do?
21:20He didn't have any money.
21:21He didn't have anywhere to live.
21:22And the solution to all that is right there.
21:27Look, here's what I think.
21:30I think you had to tell Tony about Alan.
21:32You can't sell a cottage with a dead body buried under it.
21:35And you know what?
21:36I think he was probably okay with that.
21:37I mean, he had secrets of his own.
21:39But then he's saved by the brother of the woman whose death he caused.
21:44He has this road to Damascus conversion.
21:46He stands up.
21:47That's it.
21:48No more secrets.
21:50And you panic.
21:52Because that means Michael goes to prison.
21:54I told you, Tony didn't know about Alan.
21:56Why was he talking to you when he said it?
21:58He was looking at you in a mirror, just like I am now.
22:02In all the hula paloo, I've forgotten that.
22:05Monica, there is nothing you can do to protect Michael anymore.
22:10It's Nicola who needs you now.
22:13Don't let her go down for this.
22:29I spoke to Tony after the speech.
22:34And I said, please, don't do this.
22:38But he'd made up his mind.
22:40He was going to come clean about Alan and about the accident as well.
22:44He said that he and Michael would be liberated.
22:49Even if they went to prison, they'd be free.
22:54So, when I went back to the room with the knife, he was sleeping.
23:03It was peaceful.
23:05He didn't feel a thing.
23:06I mean, I don't care if you believe me or not.
23:09I was there.
23:10It was peaceful.
23:16Tony didn't have children, so he didn't understand.
23:19You do.
23:22You'd fight armies for your child.
23:26You'd fight bears.
23:27You'd kill one dangerous man.
23:54She's all yours.
23:59Hey.
24:02Sir, your phone.
24:03It's not evidence.
24:06There's a severed miscores from Kim.
24:08Uh, we can let Nicola go.
24:10Whoa, whoa, whoa.
24:11What?
24:12Why?
24:12Monica killed Tony.
24:13She confessed.
24:15And I arrested her.
24:18Hi, love.
24:19Look, sorry.
24:20Something happened at work.
24:21I just have to go to the station.
24:22And then...
24:24What is it?
24:26What's wrong?
24:38I got worried when you didn't turn up and I ran Granny.
24:41I made her come here.
24:43Where is she?
24:52Charlie?
25:00Hey.
25:01I'm so sorry.
25:05Kim says you gave him some money.
25:09It was for his restaurant.
25:11How much?
25:12Charlie, I know it's uncomfortable I need to establish if a crime has been committed.
25:21One hundred and twenty thousand pounds.
25:24Right.
25:28Yeah, um, listen, listen, people have lost more, so, you know, don't feel bad, but, um, look,
25:38now we have some options, okay?
25:41Did he threaten you?
25:42Did he coerce you?
25:45At first, if you wouldn't take it, I had to convince him to.
25:50That's a common, that's, you know, it's manipulation.
25:54They make it seem like it was your choice.
25:56It's what they do.
25:57I'm not an imbecile.
25:59Oh, hey.
25:59Oh, some, some love-struck teenager.
26:02I can think, I can reason.
26:05I ran a business.
26:08I was a magistrate.
26:10I've written fucking books.
26:11Hey, no one is blaming you, Charlie.
26:13He took me to the restaurant.
26:14He showed it to me, and, and he had a business plan, and there was some, some partner, someone
26:20he was working with.
26:21Okay, yeah, well, they were working together, you know?
26:23Sometimes maybe they switch roles.
26:25Nigel is, is the business partner, and, and the other guy is the, the, Nigel.
26:35Well, we were lovers.
26:38I know.
26:43Like I said, look, we have some options now.
26:47These options, they will require me to press charges, don't they?
26:52Well, yeah.
26:53I won't do that.
26:55Charlie.
26:55I won't do that.
26:58I'll be humiliated.
27:00I'll be a punchline.
27:03I'll be Millie Faversham.
27:06I'm sure you think a reputation is a quaint thing.
27:11Your reputation waxes and wanes.
27:13You don't care anymore.
27:15How lovely for you.
27:19But for the rest of us, it's a pile of poker chips.
27:33I'll say I ended the relationship.
27:37I might even throw in something vulgar and salacious.
27:42You were terrible in bed.
27:45People will laugh.
27:47And I'll seem powerful.
27:53Until the rest of the world.
27:57I'll still be me.
28:03So, there we are.
28:10What happened to you?
28:12You look terrible.
28:40I'm flying back to the mainland.
28:41I'm just waiting for my taxi.
28:44You know, I have sympathy for some of the people I deal with.
28:47Yeah, they're unlucky.
28:48They're desperate.
28:50But then there are the ones like you.
28:51The ones that just have a fundamental part of their humanity missing.
28:55Yeah, even other criminals know it.
28:57That's why men like you don't do well in prison.
29:00So, who are you, really?
29:01I'm sorry, Jim.
29:02I'm lost.
29:05Men like me.
29:06Yeah.
29:07But I've done nothing wrong.
29:08Well, my girlfriend gave me some money for a business opportunity that has frustratingly gone away and now that relationship
29:16has come to an end.
29:18Am I missing something?
29:20Am I missing something?
29:20Is any of that illegal?
29:21Obviously, you know the law better than I do.
29:26Wait, you don't think this was a scam?
29:30Oh, no wonder you'll cross.
29:34Look, if Charlie thinks there's been any kind of double dealing, then she should press charges and we should go
29:40to the police station right now.
29:48What's that, lassie?
29:50She hasn't.
29:53Oh, then I'm confused again.
29:57Catperm said ten minutes.
30:00How do you know where I was, by the way?
30:02On your second date, you took flowers for Charlie.
30:06You ordered them online from a local florist.
30:09And you had them sent to this address.
30:13You should be a detective.
30:15Yeah.
30:16People have said that.
30:20While I've got you here,
30:23I just want to say I think you're too hard on yourself.
30:27I'd be a gibbering wreck for years if I'd been through what you have,
30:30but you're holding yourself together.
30:34Solving crimes.
30:37Never mind what Charlie says.
30:38I think you're a great father.
30:41Just give yourself a pat on the back.
30:45Did you even lose a child?
30:49No.
30:50Not as such.
30:51Look, I'm not proud of that.
30:52What can I say?
30:53I was intoxicated by I wanted to find a connection, so yes.
30:58Little white lie, like
31:00inflating your income or
31:02saying you love Downton Abbey when it makes you want to gouge your eyes out.
31:08Admit it.
31:11There's a part of you that thinks she deserves this.
31:16She's my family.
31:18Oh, come on.
31:19You don't even like her.
31:22She certainly doesn't like you.
31:26In case you thought it was all just banter.
31:29It raises an interesting question, doesn't it?
31:32About those men.
31:34Why they exist.
31:36The people they target tend to be
31:39venal and callous.
31:42They live for the schadenfreude.
31:46Makes their eyes roll back in their head, Jim.
31:50And these women
31:52are cowards.
31:55If they were decent or brave,
31:57those men would have to rob post offices.
32:01I'll convince Charlie to press charges.
32:03You could still be arrested on the mainland.
32:05Great.
32:05Yeah, looking forward to it.
32:06See you in court, etc.
32:11Look, I hate to ask,
32:12but you couldn't give me a lift to the airport, could you?
32:24It's Barney Crows here.
32:25Can I get five minutes with Emma today?
32:28Yes, it is urgent.
32:376.15.
32:38Yeah, that works.
32:39Thank you, Wendy.
33:02Ah, finally.
33:03Where is everyone?
33:04The pub?
33:05Waiting for you.
33:07It's not every day we solve two murders for the price of one.
33:10Especially not two in the same family.
33:12I mean, my mum and dad are naturists.
33:16Sharp?
33:17Yeah.
33:17They spend half their year playing table tennis with other naked pensioners,
33:22and I thought that was weird and dysfunctional, but...
33:25Anyway, great result, boss.
33:28Er, yeah.
33:30Yeah, it is.
33:31Tell your face.
33:33Sorry.
33:34It's a bit of a crisis at home.
33:38Oh, er, there's some chat about nominating Ruth Salinger for an award for bravery.
33:43Good idea.
33:44Yeah.
33:45Um, I'll pop by her office later.
33:47I didn't get a chance to thank her properly.
33:49Did you hear?
33:50That big sale of her company, it just went through.
33:52Who told you that?
33:53It's on the news.
33:56Er, has Nicola gone?
33:57Yeah, you said release her.
33:59No, I know.
34:00I, um, I just, I need to talk to her.
34:02What time did she leave?
34:03About half an hour ago.
34:05I'm sure you can catch her at a hotel.
34:06Cara, let's not with this.
34:10We owe her an apology.
34:11Hmm.
34:13I believe you.
34:13It's heard your face.
34:17I'll go see her now, I'll go see Ruth.
34:18Um, this news about Ruth's company, where is it?
34:22Oh, er, the, the business bit.
34:32After years of building, growing, and learning alongside an incredible team, I'm proud to
34:38announce that we have officially completed the sale of our company.
34:43Building this company has been my life's work.
34:47We have always fought to be at the forefront of discovery and development, and with this
34:52partnership, we can do that.
34:55Huge thanks to everyone at Hobart's.
34:58Thank you very much.
34:59Well done.
35:05Good on her, I say.
35:07Where is everyone?
35:08The pub.
35:09I've been waiting for you two.
35:11He wasn't here, and you'd vanished.
35:13I was printing something off.
35:16We have a printer here.
35:18How's your head?
35:20Uh, yeah.
35:24So, are you coming then?
35:26I can't drink, I'm on these painkillers.
35:29I heard that some pubs have started doing non-alcoholic drinks.
35:33Look, it's not about the drinks, it's about marking the winds.
35:38Everyone's waiting, they want to do a toast.
35:39Oh, mate, I am trying my best here.
35:42He's not drinking, and he's...
35:47We don't know.
35:49Oh, God, what?
36:04Sorry, it's all right.
36:06Well, it's okay.
36:10You haven't really had a moment, just the two of us.
36:14How are you feeling?
36:15Ah, yeah, it's been a day.
36:18I know, right?
36:23I finally got a date for the cremation.
36:27Four weeks tomorrow.
36:30Why does it take so long?
36:33It's like we're waiting in case his condition improves.
36:38I'm sorry, we have to take him back.
36:40We have other tests to do.
36:42I've ordered a much more detailed post-mortem.
36:43I want him to check for poisons.
36:45Poisons?
36:45He was stabbed.
36:47No.
36:47No, you can't do that.
36:50He's mine now.
36:51You had your chance.
36:52You had days.
36:53You know who did it.
36:54You have to leave him alone now.
36:58Ruth, I think you killed him.
37:04Theories are like...
37:07A line of dominos.
37:10You're nowhere, and then something happens, and one topples, which knocks the next one,
37:16which knocks the next one, on and on, unstoppable, and the first domino was.
37:22You'd have known about those payments.
37:24Tony paid Ian 50 grand for swapping the bloods, and he paid Carl for changing his statement.
37:30Here's what I don't understand.
37:32How did he sneak those payments past Ruth?
37:34Right, so you're saying she knew about the payments.
37:36I'm saying she authorized them.
37:38The first time I met Ruth, she said she handled the products and the finances,
37:42while Tony did the networking and the schmoozing.
37:46In your press release today, you said you built this company.
37:48You know it, inside out.
37:50I don't think your staff can buy a paperclip without your approval.
37:55We could run a forensic audit on the company, see if we can find the payments.
37:59Well, hang on, let's just play this out.
38:00Say she did authorize the payments, I'm sure she wasn't exactly thrilled,
38:03but it meant that Tony didn't go to prison.
38:04The scandal didn't capsize the company, but then, fast forward 15 years,
38:09Tony gets up and he says, no more secrets.
38:11And that was the second domino.
38:13He tells Monica he means her and Alan and the car accident.
38:19Tony going to prison would have been bad enough, but you helped cover it up.
38:22That's you screwed as well.
38:23That's your whole company, your life's work, gone.
38:27And so I wanted to kill him.
38:30How is that less of a risk?
38:32Well, it was a calculated risk and paid off.
38:36Because look, Sal went through, they're fine.
38:38But it was Monica.
38:40She confessed.
38:41Yeah, and a confession is usually a bit of a conversation stopper.
38:45But then one of my colleagues said something.
38:48Domino number three.
38:49Right, there was one weird thing.
38:52When Ruth came in earlier, she was asking about when we'd release Tony's body for cremation.
38:56Well, it's gone already, hasn't it?
38:57Why is that weird?
38:58I don't know.
38:59Maybe just the way she said it.
39:00Maybe it wasn't.
39:01First time I met Ruth, she said the exact same thing.
39:04I mean, Tony's body wasn't even cold at this point.
39:05And then when you came round to Michael's house and I was in the cellar, I heard you telling Monica
39:10she should hurry us up and get Tony's body released.
39:13Yes, because I wanted closure.
39:15And that was the last Domino.
39:17When Monica was arrested, she said Tony never felt a thing.
39:21He was asleep, she said.
39:23A knife plunged through all that flesh, muscle and sinew.
39:28You wouldn't wake up.
39:29What are you saying?
39:30I'm saying when Monica stabbed Tony, he was already dead.
39:36You don't think it's possible she said that just to distance herself from what she did.
39:40And Tony had been drinking all day.
39:42He could have passed out.
39:43He could have taken a sleeping pill.
39:45There was nothing like that in his post-mortem.
39:47That's the thing with tests like that.
39:48Especially with such an obvious cause of death.
39:50They're looking for context.
39:52Not cause.
39:54This is...
39:55No.
39:56Ruth?
39:57Ruth!
40:02No, just...
40:06Can you let me out?
40:10Can someone help me, please?
40:12Um, I'm locked in.
40:16Oh, jeez.
40:17Ruth.
40:17Hello!
40:18You just...
40:19You leave me alone.
40:23You are insane.
40:25You are deluded.
40:26You're not fit for purpose.
40:55You're to be fed.
40:59He wasn't going to tell the police about me.
41:03We were loyal that way.
41:04So why did you do it?
41:08I knew if he confessed...
41:11The police would want to know how he got away with it.
41:15And they would look at the blood test.
41:18And they would pull at that thread.
41:21Until they find Ian and Carl.
41:23And they would keep pulling.
41:26And eventually they would find me.
41:30Just like you did.
41:32What was the poison?
41:36It would help us to know what we're looking for.
41:43Hemlock water dropwort.
41:46Oh, an anthe crocata.
41:49I did my dissertation on natural poisons.
41:52A bit macabre.
41:54Perhaps.
41:57I had some in my car.
41:59Can you believe?
42:01I found it in my garden last week.
42:03I wanted to study it.
42:06It's been used to treat hepatitis.
42:10Did you know that?
42:12I thought, my God.
42:15The lives I could save.
42:17Oh, my God.
42:23I thought...
42:25I thought...
42:28I thought...
42:51Hello, welcome to the Clifton.
42:53Hi, this is DCI Bergerac. I'm trying to reach Nicola Barton.
42:56She's not answering her phone.
42:57Can you put me through? She's in room 410.
43:00Miss Barton. Oh, she checked out about an hour ago.
43:03We ordered her a taxi to the airport.
43:33Oh, my God. I ran.
43:36I was jumping over the trolley things and had to show my warrant card and passport control.
43:43I didn't actually know I could do that.
43:45They released me two hours ago?
43:48Yeah, I'm sorry.
43:50Look, things got really...
43:53We've arrested Ruth. She did it too. It's complicated.
43:59Your mother stabbed Tony's corpse.
44:05I'm going to be in therapy for the rest of my life.
44:08Flight 3096 to Manchester is now boarding at gate number two.
44:14That's me.
44:15Please have your boarding passes ready.
44:19Well, um...
44:20Thanks for letting me know that this could have been an email.
44:25Albeit a long, really weird one.
44:28I wanted to tell you to your face.
44:30A Zoom, then. We could have done this on Zoom.
44:32No, I wanted to stop you leaving.
44:38In the beginning, nothing could have happened because of the case, but...
44:43We're not there yet, but it's different now.
44:46You can be seen with me.
44:48Yeah, I'm not saying it won't raise a few eyebrows.
44:51I've been doing that all my life.
44:58My flight's boarding.
45:01It's not the last helicopter out of Saigon. There'll be other flights.
45:04Yeah, but my luggage is on there.
45:06Well, they send it back.
45:07What do you need? What do you need?
45:08We've got shops. We've several shops in Jersey.
45:10And I've checked out of my hotel, though I think they were pleased to see me go.
45:14You know we have to pay for that door?
45:17Isn't it covered by their insurance?
45:19Well, that depends on the policy, you know.
45:20Sometimes in situations when there's damage, Tonti...
45:22Are you actually answering that question?
45:30Give me an hour.
45:34Just give me a week.
45:37No.
45:43Tony, Monaco, Michael, Jesus.
45:45No, Ruth, it's too much.
45:47There was a time when I'd be buzzing with the horror and the drama of it all,
45:52but I don't want that now.
45:54You'll say you don't want it either,
45:57but you love having your finger hovering over the self-destruct button.
46:01It's what makes you good at your job.
46:04But I can't be around that.
46:07I like myself too much.
46:13And that's the other thing.
46:16You didn't believe me.
46:18I told you about Monica and you didn't listen.
46:21You didn't trust me.
46:24And I've spent too much of my life being called crazy.
46:27You're not crazy.
46:28No.
46:31But you might be.
46:33And for once, I need to make a healthy decision.
46:40Would you describe yourself as a healthy decision?
46:50No.
46:52No.
46:54Not right now.
46:57Not right now.
47:18Good luck, Jim Bergerac.
47:45Hey.
47:47Who found Nigel?
47:49Yeah.
47:50But there's nothing I can do without Charlie.
47:54You should go.
47:56It's okay.
47:57I wasn't doing anything today.
47:59We can just watch our own shifts.
48:00Oh, to London.
48:01To the school.
48:02We've talked about this.
48:04Yeah, we did.
48:04But you weren't completely honest with me, were you?
48:07Do I need a liar?
48:09Don't get me wrong.
48:10I think you are worried about me.
48:16But, um...
48:17Charlie saw your computer.
48:19She...
48:19She saw you'd been looking for advice about first-year nerves.
48:25We missed all the clues.
48:27I'm...
48:27I'm really...
48:28Sorry.
48:31But fear can't control your life.
48:34If you...
48:34If you can do this,
48:36then I promise you,
48:37nothing will ever be this scary again.
48:40But if you don't,
48:41if you let fear win,
48:45then nothing will ever be this easy.
48:47It's not just about you now, is it?
48:50What about Granny?
48:52Oh, I'll take care of her.
48:54Yeah, there's a lot less inheritance,
48:55so we might as well keep her around.
49:01Are you sure you can both manage?
49:03Honestly?
49:07It's not your concern.
49:16Okay.
49:17I'll tell Granny.
49:22That's your chair, Rob.
49:38I'm handing in my notice.
49:40I wanted you to be the first to know.
49:44I've really enjoyed my time on the Force,
49:45but what happened with the inn?
49:46That was a wake-up call.
49:48I've allowed the job to take precedence
49:51over other areas of my life,
49:53and...
49:53I think it's time I take stock
49:55and investigate other challenges.
50:00And the non-bullshit version?
50:02Although I think I can probably guess.
50:04Jim.
50:06Nobody works with Jim.
50:08We attend.
50:09He considers rules and protocols,
50:11even the most basic precepts of policing
50:14to be a serving suggestion
50:15that don't apply to him,
50:16but it never matters
50:17because he keeps fucking winning.
50:19He keeps getting results.
50:22When you say he doesn't follow rules,
50:24I mean, that's hardly a shock,
50:26but...
50:26is there anything specific I should know?
50:55Jim is Jim,
50:57but this dynamic is turning me into someone
50:58I don't like.
50:59I'm jealous.
51:00I'm bitter.
51:01I can't do anything about it.
51:03I tried to get a transfer.
51:04You saw how that went.
51:06If I stay,
51:08I'm cursed to spend my whole career
51:10sat opposite Jim Bergerac.
51:15There might be another option.
51:17Richard Gibbon has decided
51:19to take early retirement.
51:21Obviously, that doesn't have anything to do
51:23with wanting to limit
51:24the IPOC's investigation of Ian.
51:26I couldn't possibly comment.
51:28That means there'll be a quick game
51:30of musical chairs
51:30as people move up
51:31or sideways.
51:34So,
51:35how would you feel
51:36about switching lanes
51:39and taking a more
51:42managerial route?
51:47You mean be his boss one day?
52:07Is it too early to start drinking?
52:10I'm asking the wrong person.
52:13She seemed okay.
52:14She seemed excited.
52:16She did, didn't she?
52:17You needn't have said anything.
52:19She could have stayed,
52:20gone next year.
52:22I respect you for not doing that.
52:25Well, sometimes the best thing
52:26you can do for the people
52:27you care about
52:27is to
52:30take yourself
52:30out of the equation.
52:35We don't have to be friends now.
52:37I'm sure you find
52:38constantly biting your tongue
52:40as exhausting as I do.
52:42All this time,
52:43you've been biting your tongue?
52:44Oh, trust me.
52:54We got on when Rachel was alive.
53:00We were different people then.
53:04The world was different
53:05with Rachel in it.
53:10All this
53:13was fields.
53:18I'd like us to be friends again.
53:27I don't want your pity, Jane.
53:29Well, you can have my sympathy.
53:31It's different.
53:36I'm not sure I ever gave you
53:37much sympathy.
53:38Ha!
53:39I think Rachel would be
53:41disappointed in me
53:42for that.
53:43I think she'd be disappointed in me
53:45for lots of things,
53:46not least.
53:48The example I'm setting
53:49her daughter.
53:53Did we prepare Kim
53:55for the world?
53:57We did our best.
54:00But
54:02did we prepare
54:03the world for Kim?
54:06I mean,
54:09are we making it
54:10safer for her?
54:15What I mean is
54:18you do,
54:19I know you do
54:19all the time.
54:21But
54:24what am I doing?
54:31Perhaps like you,
54:33I need to take myself
54:34out of the equation.
54:45I need to take myself
54:50out of the equation.
55:00You wanted to see me.
55:01Charlie, this is Cara,
55:03who I work with.
55:04Cara, this is my
55:05mother-in-law.
55:07Charlie Hungerford.
55:08Hi, Mrs. Hungerford.
55:09How did you?
55:10Very good.
55:10Cara, we'll look after you.
55:12I'll be just outside.
55:13She'll explain.
55:37I want to report a crime.
55:38I want to report a crime.
55:41Oh,
56:07she'll explain.
56:08I want to report a crime.
