00:03The
00:04Victim is Tony Salinger. He was found dead in his hotel room by his sister Ruth. From now on, no
00:09more secrets.
00:10What do you think he meant by that? I have no idea. Anybody else think it's very convenient?
00:14This guy gets murdered hours after he gets married. A contaminated batch of heroin was taken out of circulation.
00:20Tony was involved in a fatal RTA 15 years ago. Guess who the attending officer was? Literally the first person
00:24on the scene.
00:25Richard Gibbon. He took Tony to the hospital to get the blood test. Basically exonerated him. Can I come down
00:30now?
00:30I'm getting a bit hungry. Nearly, darling. I leave in five days. You need someone.
00:35I think I know who killed Tony. I think it was my mum. What makes you say that? Because 12
00:40years ago, she killed my father.
00:46They found my dad's car by the cliffs with a note inside, but no body.
00:52He's never been found.
00:55This was two weeks before my graduation.
00:58He was coming up to Manchester.
01:00He had booked his train ticket. A hotel. He'd even bought a new suit.
01:06I just don't think that sounds like someone planning to kill themselves.
01:10But why do you think your mother might have killed him?
01:12Dad phoned me four days before he died.
01:16He was crying.
01:18He said him and Monica had had a fight.
01:20She'd been drawing the carving knife when she just snapped.
01:25She threatened him with it.
01:27She threatened him with it.
01:27Literally, like, pointed it at him.
01:31And would you believe it, a few days later, he was dead.
01:35And you didn't say anything to Monica?
01:39No, not at the time, no.
01:43But I did seven years later, though.
01:47I told her what I thought she'd done.
01:48Why then?
01:49And that was when Dad was officially declared dead.
01:53So Monica arranged this, like, memorial service.
01:58And I watched her and she was relieved.
02:03And she was happy.
02:06So I told her I knew about the knife.
02:09I said, I think you killed him.
02:15And, well, it destroyed our relationship.
02:21But over the next few years, I started to have doubts.
02:24I started to think maybe I was wrong.
02:27And I, I missed her.
02:33I missed my mum.
02:34But now you're saying, again, she killed your father?
02:38Because then I found out about Tony saying no more secrets.
02:41Because then I found out that he was stabbed.
02:48Uh, just give me two minutes.
02:51Okay.
02:53So Nicola's dad, Alan Barton's disappearance,
02:56was properly investigated at the time,
02:58but it was deemed not suspicious.
03:00Was there any mention of Monica threatening him with a knife?
03:02Oh, yeah. Hang on.
03:04Yeah, she said that he imagined it.
03:06You know how it came out at the, uh, memorial service?
03:08Yeah, there was a big argument.
03:10It was a bit more than an argument.
03:11Um, Nicola was cautioned for harassing Monica
03:15and being drunk and disorderly.
03:16She made the accusation to the officer that arrested her.
03:19And the CCRC, they reopened the case.
03:22They went through it all again.
03:23But they were happy that the original investigation was sound.
03:26It's been through the mill twice already.
03:29Okay.
03:30Yeah.
03:30Thanks, Alan.
03:31No worries.
03:38Uh, thank you for bringing this to our attention, Nicola.
03:40Uh, leave her with us.
03:42And, uh, we'll reach out if there's anything else we need.
03:44Oh.
03:45Right.
03:47So that...
03:49That's it, then.
03:54Gotcha.
04:06Thanks for your time, DCI Bergerac.
04:09Thanks, Sid.
04:28Bye.
04:28Yeah.
04:30Bye.
04:38Bye.
04:55There's so many things we just bury and we think it's the right thing to do.
05:03What's that?
05:04Tony speaks, he's on Facebook.
05:06Christ.
05:06The whole thing?
05:07Since when?
05:08I went on a couple of minutes after he made it on the Jersey golfing group.
05:14The lad that posted it is a caddy, but he was also helping out at the hotel with the catering.
05:20It was his first gig.
05:21I don't think he's going to be getting another.
05:23How many people are in that group?
05:2487.
05:25Cara, can you get that taken down?
05:26ASAP.
05:27Yeah, I'll see what I can do.
05:32Hey.
05:33Did you see that?
05:34The video of the speech?
05:36Yeah.
05:36Last thing we need.
05:37Right, where were we with Ritter's report?
05:39Okay, so Tony was acquitted of causing death by dangerous driving on three counts.
05:45Ice on the road, his clean blood alcohol test, and a witness.
05:49Witness was the barman at the pub where Tony spent his evening.
05:52But Andy Todd was mistaken.
05:55The witness did not say that Tony was drunk.
05:57His statement at the inquest said Tony was drinking orange juice all night.
05:59Now, ask me who the barman was.
06:02Who was the barman?
06:03Carl Furman.
06:05Carl?
06:05Used to work for a living.
06:07Apparently he wasn't always the lovable heroin addict we now know.
06:10But like I said, his statement says Tony was stone cold sober.
06:14What did Nicola Barton want?
06:17She claims Monica killed her father, and so killed Tony to cover it up.
06:21Jesus.
06:22Based on what?
06:23Nothing.
06:24You know?
06:24A feeling.
06:25It's just like Andy.
06:27You know?
06:27She just wants to make sense of a shitty, shitty thing.
06:31Is this the whole file?
06:33Yeah.
06:34It says here that Carl was interviewed the morning after the crash.
06:38But all I can find here is the inquest statement.
06:42Where's the original statement from the day after the crash?
06:47Carl's initial statement is missing.
06:49And if it was assigned a document number, then it was here.
06:53It's been removed.
06:55Sometime between then and now.
06:57You think Carl's original statement said that Tony was drunk and he changed his story at the inquest?
07:01Let's make that our first question.
07:03Now that might be tricky.
07:04I just talked to robbery.
07:05They're already looking for Carl, but he's hiding under a rock somewhere.
07:08Okay, get on to response.
07:09I want everyone looking for Carl Furman.
07:11Uh, in the meantime, let's pay Richard Gibbon a visit.
07:14Uh, don't you think that's a bit premature?
07:16Sure.
07:19I mean, it's one missing statement.
07:21Well, it's just a conversation.
07:22It was his case after all.
07:23Look, if Andy Todd wants to make an accusation of corruption, we should be going to professional standards.
07:27Okay, what would we say to them?
07:29Yeah?
07:29Andy didn't even give us a name.
07:33Okay, but this has to be strictly fact-finding.
07:36There can be no mention of the C word.
07:38Trust me, five minutes will Richard and you'll want to use the C word.
07:41But yeah, it's purely for background.
07:47That said...
07:48That said what?
07:49That said...
07:52What's this?
07:52It's just a hunch.
07:56Uh, bear with.
08:00Just...
08:02I knew it.
08:04Richard Gibbon is in the same Facebook group where the speech was posted.
08:08Okay?
08:09So, he sees the speech.
08:10Yeah?
08:11He rushes over to the hotel to stop Tony from exposing their secret.
08:15And we don't know that they had a secret.
08:16And we don't know that they didn't.
08:18So, look, they talk, they argue, yada, yada, because...
08:23That is not a guest or a member of staff.
08:27So, let's find out where Richard was on Saturday night.
08:37Thank you, my love.
08:38Yes.
08:39Thank you, Mrs. Gibbon.
08:40You're welcome.
08:4230 years next month?
08:44I've been lost without an absolute carcass.
08:47Shadow of my former self.
08:50Oh, I'm so sorry, Jim.
08:51How insensitive.
08:52No, it's...
08:53It's fine.
08:55Keep your eye on this one.
08:57Such precocious talent.
08:59Right from the get-go.
09:00Yeah.
09:01Lone Wolf, we called him.
09:03Didn't like to mix with us mere mortals.
09:06Or maybe that was just me.
09:08Lone Wolf?
09:09Be terrible if the rest of the team heard about that.
09:11Oh, and hard luck on the promotion, Barney.
09:14Tough year this year.
09:16But we thought your interview was really something.
09:22Richard, we wanted to ask you about an RTA.
09:27The route to the Trinity, winter, 15 years ago.
09:30Gosh, hold on.
09:32Uh...
09:32BMW hit a tree.
09:33Route to the Trinity.
09:35Accessing memory banks.
09:37Oh, passenger died.
09:38Is that right?
09:39Yeah.
09:40Driver survived.
09:41Oh, yes.
09:42It's coming back to me now.
09:43So Muggin's here to take him to the hospital for a blood test.
09:46Was that really 15 years ago?
09:47Hmm.
09:48Why are you asking about it now?
09:49With the Hotel de Clermont murder.
09:52The victim was Tony Salinger, the driver of the car.
09:55Good Lord.
09:58You know, I thought the name rang a distant.
10:01And you think the two things might be related?
10:03Oh, well, we don't know.
10:05Yet.
10:08But someone has made an allegation of corruption.
10:12That's not...
10:12Well, it's very vague.
10:14Uh, look, they didn't even give us a name.
10:16Just, uh, you know, connected to this incident.
10:23Well, I'm afraid that's all I remember.
10:26As I say, it was a long time ago.
10:28Hmm.
10:28Absolutely.
10:29And, uh, all of this is purely for context,
10:32but we have already taken up too much of your time,
10:35so, Jim, we should go.
10:35I haven't finished plenty.
10:37Uh, just, look, so we have the full picture.
10:39Where were you between 7.45 and 8.30 on Saturday evening?
10:45Birdwatching.
10:46At Le Socher.
10:48Birdwatching?
10:50At night?
10:50At night?
10:51I'm sorry?
10:52It's a bit late.
10:53I...
10:53It's a bit late, no?
10:56At night?
10:57I can't see how that would work.
10:59The Night Jar.
11:01It's nocturnal.
11:03Hence the name.
11:04Do you Birdwatch alone?
11:07I do.
11:09It's great to see you, Richard.
11:20We agreed.
11:21We said no mention of corruption, that was the plan.
11:24It's got a very nice house for a superintendent, don't you think?
11:26And his wife doesn't work.
11:28I wonder when he bought it.
11:30I wonder if it was after Tony's car accident.
11:33You think Tony bribed him, and that's how Tony ended up with the negative blood test.
11:37It'd be a pretty solid motive to keep him quiet.
11:45Also, there might be Bird's that associate, but you know what there isn't?
11:50CCTV.
11:51Which is the kind of thing only a police officer would know.
11:54Okay.
11:55I will check traffic cams between here and there Saturday night for his car.
11:58Sighting of Carl Furman at Fort Regent.
12:01Suspect ran south from officer.
12:03Two officers now searching the surrounding area.
12:05Any units in the vicinity...
12:07That's fine.
12:07Five minutes away?
12:08Well, let's go.
12:08Line it off.
12:21Uniform.
12:22They're up on the west side.
12:42Right, go ahead.
12:43Cut him off.
13:16Oh, fuck.
13:17You all right?
13:38Go!
13:42Go!
13:59Fuck!
14:00Fuck!
14:02Fuck!
14:03Fuck!
14:05Fuck!
14:07Fuck!
14:12Come on, love.
14:14You're going to be late.
14:15I'll try to restrict Charlie's access to the Moral High Grant.
14:32Something smells interesting.
14:35Bottarga. It's Sicilian.
14:36It's the cured eggs of a grey mullet.
14:39The question is, what to pair it with?
14:42A bucket, probably.
14:47Did you get a chance to look over the guest list for your leaving party?
14:50No, not yet.
14:51Let's do it now, shall we? Nigel, we have the list.
14:54Yes, I should be your glamorous assistant.
14:57Thank you, sir.
14:59Should have worn a laotard.
15:03Looks good.
15:04These are, what, Kim's friends?
15:07Yeah, Kim's friends' parents.
15:09Who, er...
15:11Who, sorry, who are these people?
15:13Who's better round three?
15:14They're my friends.
15:16I rarely get to show off this family, and it's lovely finally to have something to celebrate.
15:21You're very welcome to bring your friends, Jim.
15:25Do you have friends? I don't think I've ever seen you with one.
15:28Yeah, I have friends.
15:30Oh, you could bring that really hot guy you work with.
15:33Er, Bernie?
15:34I have no idea who that is.
15:37Obviously, we can't all fit into Tomasi's, so I've moved it to the Lido.
15:42Won't that be fun?
15:43All you have to do is show up in something that's not that.
15:46Could we not have something smaller?
15:49Just, er, just us. Just family.
15:51Let's put it to a vote.
15:53Who's for a smaller affair?
15:57I don't have my glasses on, but I don't think Kim voted for that.
16:00I'm so not getting into this.
16:04So, who's for a more fitting send-off for our wonderful virtuoso?
16:10Well, as Kim has not voted for some unfathomable reason, that makes a tie.
16:16Oh, what about you, Nigel?
16:17Nigel gets a vote.
16:18I get a vote.
16:19No.
16:20I thought about what you said, Jim, and...
16:23Yes, maybe I have been a little overprotective of Nigel.
16:27I'm sure he can cope with a few gossiping septuagenarians.
16:31So, Nigel, as you're now part of the family, you should vote too.
16:35Right.
16:36Er, blimey.
16:38In that case, I vote for a fitting send-off.
16:45Wonderful.
16:46That's decided, then.
16:47And nothing less than she deserves.
16:49I'm sure it'll be a lovely evening.
16:57Hey.
17:04Anyone wanted to see me?
17:06Just take a seat.
17:11I always get major headmaster's office vibes here.
17:15Yeah.
17:16Oh, so look, I looked into the route between Richard's house and Le Soché on Saturday night.
17:20He's got two ways he can get there.
17:21Only one has a traffic car.
17:22Let me guess, he took the other one.
17:24Yeah.
17:25If that's where he went.
17:28All right, let's widen the search.
17:29See if we can pick his car up anywhere near the hotel.
17:33Good morning, Emma.
17:33I wouldn't be so sure about that.
17:44Obviously, you both know Superintendent Richard Gibbon.
17:49I think we should talk about yesterday afternoon, don't you?
18:12I'm sorry about yesterday.
18:14It was the news about Tony.
18:17It brought back a lot of stuff about Dad.
18:24Well, I love Dad too, you know.
18:28You forget that sometimes.
18:30I know that sounds harsh.
18:33But you do.
18:35I want to ask you something about the things Dad said before he died.
18:42Oh, Nicola, please.
18:44It would help me understand why he killed himself.
18:47I want us to be honest with each other.
18:52He was, um, he was working too hard.
18:57He wasn't sleeping.
18:59Sometimes it was about money and then it would be something else.
19:03It would be, um, his health, his job.
19:05This is what I don't know.
19:08Because every time I spoke to him, he seemed fine.
19:12It was because he didn't think that there was anything wrong with him.
19:15And some days there wasn't.
19:17He was cheerful.
19:18He was affectionate.
19:19But, um, it made it worse in a way because
19:23I'd wake up and I wouldn't know who he'd be.
19:28Is that what the carving knife was about?
19:35Because you could tell me I'd understand if
19:39if you were frightened of him.
19:41No, I told you that never even happened.
19:46It wasn't well.
19:49He can't have been to leave you.
19:52Only me.
19:54I have no mind.
19:55I took a set of your keys.
20:04You're back.
20:08I come here more in sorrow than in anger.
20:12If there is an allegation of corruption, you should take it straight to professional standards.
20:18Immediately.
20:18Basically, what you do not do...
20:21It...
20:27There is a clear and established protocol.
20:29You know this.
20:31Rules are there for a reason.
20:33Rules are our guardrails.
20:37Sorry.
20:40Sorry.
20:45Because this could be seen, and I'm not saying it was, but this could be seen as harassment.
20:51Fuck.
20:53Just answer it, Jim.
20:54No, no, no, no.
20:55I'm putting it on mute.
21:00There you go.
21:01Carry on, Richard.
21:01Sorry.
21:03I just want to make sure that we don't see a repeat of this, and that in future, protocol is
21:10followed.
21:10It will be.
21:11Thank you, Richard.
21:12And now I'm sure these two gentlemen would like to offer you a full and unreserved apology.
21:19Absolutely.
21:20I apologize for any distress our actions may have caused you or Mrs. Gibbon.
21:25Thank you, D.I. Crozier.
21:35Ditto.
21:43Okay.
21:44Should only have been me in there.
21:47Feel free to say I told you, son.
21:50For him to go to Uma like that, that was beyond petty.
21:53That was to get us to back off.
21:54Why would he do that if he didn't have anything to hide?
21:57I'm going to go back through his report, word by word.
22:00I come here more in sorrow than in anger.
22:02What a prick.
22:03Okay, great.
22:04Look, let's find his car.
22:06I found exactly where he was when Tony was stabbed.
22:08Christ, who is this?
22:08Look, I'll see you upstairs.
22:10Rules are our guardrails.
22:11Shut the fuck up.
22:13Where's your eye?
22:15Michael?
22:16Hey.
22:17Whoa, slow down.
22:20She's done what?
22:38Emma, such a good turnout.
22:40Did you tell them you were dying?
22:41No, darling.
22:42I told them you were going to eat a carbohydrate.
22:44They didn't want to miss it.
22:46And who might you be?
22:48This is Nigel.
22:50He and I are seeing each other.
22:52Nigel, this is Emma and Donald.
22:54And how long has this been going on?
22:56I'm very new.
22:58It's a pleasure to meet you both.
23:01It's quite a handshake there, Donald.
23:03I'm going to guess some yachtsmen.
23:05A 32-foot berth and gauntlet.
23:07And what do you sail?
23:09I used to surf, believe it or not.
23:12And I was carrying a little less ballast.
23:14You don't surf anymore?
23:16There's too much keeping me on dry land these days.
23:20You see that?
23:21You see how he talks about her?
23:23I bet he doesn't sign her birthday card best wishes.
23:30Oh, she hasn't.
23:35Who is that?
23:36Millie Fathersham.
23:37I told you about her.
23:39Her husband's been arrested for insider trading.
23:42She's having to rent out her annex as an Airbnb.
23:46That's nowhere to live.
23:48I'll ask Bobby to escort her out.
23:50No, that would be vicious.
23:51Move her to the table by the kitchen and tell the waiters not to serve her.
23:56She should get the message.
24:00Hello.
24:02Nigel Morton.
24:03I'm here with Charlie Hungerford.
24:04But then, you know Charlie, don't you?
24:07Charlie, look.
24:08It's Millie.
24:10I've never been here before.
24:12Would you excuse me?
24:13No.
24:15Millie.
24:16Scandal obviously suits you.
24:18Look at those cheekbones.
24:29I can't believe it.
24:31You take house cards.
24:33Finally.
24:38Uh, is everything okay?
24:40Arrest her.
24:41She was secretly recording Mother with her phone.
24:44Coming here.
24:46Pretending you're still family.
24:47Trying to entrap people like a...
24:49Like a spy.
24:52Hasn't Mother been through enough?
24:55Nicola.
24:56Could you wait outside?
25:01Fine.
25:10I'd like to speak to Monica.
25:13Well, I'm not stopping you.
25:16She's right there, alone.
25:22Michael.
25:23What?
25:25Michael.
25:27It's okay.
25:30Come on.
25:36Why does Nicola think you killed her father?
25:39Because she can't accept what he did.
25:43Because it would mean that he didn't love her.
25:47Nicola's an alcoholic.
25:48Nicola's a mess.
25:50And, um...
25:53You know, I know that some of that is my fault.
26:00But...
26:01Nicola's dad has to own some of that, too.
26:06Doing what he did broke all our hearts.
26:08Michael's, too.
26:11I think that's why Michael found it so difficult
26:14to accept my relationship with Tony.
26:17I wanted to ask you just a couple of questions about Tony.
26:20Mm-hm.
26:22Did he ever talk to you about the car accident?
26:2515 years ago?
26:28Yeah, a bit.
26:31His passenger died.
26:32He was devastated.
26:34He used to dream about it.
26:36Did he ever mention someone called Richard Gibbon?
26:38He's a police officer.
26:40Gibbon?
26:42Um...
26:43No.
26:43I've never heard that name.
26:45Okay.
26:45And you're saying that there was tension between Michael and Tony?
26:51When Tony told me that we were going to lose this house,
26:54we talked about selling the cottage.
26:56But it's Michael's home.
26:57And, um, he doesn't cope very well with change.
27:00Michael needs stability.
27:02He needs peace.
27:05We all do.
27:07Especially Nicola.
27:09I think she needs it more than anyone.
27:30You were trying to entrap her.
27:33I thought if I caught her off guard she'd slip up.
27:36I'm sorry, but what do you expect me to do?
27:38You made it pretty clear that you weren't going to pursue it any further.
27:41Because it's been investigated twice.
27:44Look, carefully.
27:48I know.
27:54Look, maybe...
27:57Maybe Dad wasn't well.
28:01Maybe he hid it from me.
28:03If he did, it was to protect you.
28:08It's what Dads do.
28:18Look, perhaps it would be best if you went back to Manchester.
28:23Best for who?
28:26For everyone.
28:29Because this isn't helping.
28:31You, her, her, the case.
28:37I'll keep you informed of any developments.
28:40You will.
28:45Somewhat will.
29:06Here we are again.
29:07.
29:12.
29:38Hello?
29:39Hi, my name is Ruth Salinger.
29:41I'm Tony's sister.
29:42Can you talk?
29:48I found Richard on Saturday night.
29:50He lied.
29:51He was nowhere near the Soche.
29:53His car was on the road headed to the hotel two miles out.
29:56Jesus.
29:57That's 20 minutes after Tony's speech goes on Facebook.
30:00Then nothing for an hour until...
30:02I catch him on the same road coming back.
30:04There's plenty of time to kill Tony.
30:06Okay.
30:09This is great.
30:10You think this, with Carl's missing statements, you think they make a case?
30:14Not on their own.
30:16And this needs to be watertight.
30:18Right.
30:19Okay.
30:21We know that Richard was at the hospital for Tony's blood test.
30:26We know.
30:27We think that there are two different statements.
30:30One said Tony was drunk.
30:31One says he wasn't.
30:32We know it's possible that Richard saw the footage from Tony's speech.
30:35We know that he did lie about his movements the night Tony was killed.
30:39All right.
30:39You're Richard.
30:41How do you remove the alcohol from Tony's blood?
30:47I swapped the blood.
30:51Have you got the results?
30:53Yeah.
30:53Yeah.
30:56Cara?
30:57Have you got the interim post-mortem yet?
30:59Yeah, on your desk.
30:59It arrived this morning.
31:01Really?
31:02Why didn't you tell me?
31:03I did.
31:04I showed it to you.
31:05You were busy.
31:06You just waved me away.
31:09Doesn't sound like me.
31:10It does.
31:11Uh, okay.
31:12Uh, blah, blah, blah.
31:14Probable cause of death, knife wound to the chest.
31:16How do they do it?
31:16Uh, what was Tony's blood type when he gave us off to the hospital?
31:19A positive.
31:20Well, that's weird.
31:22Because when he died, he was O positive.
31:26Now we have a case.
31:33Right, well, if Richard wants proper channels...
31:35Well, then that's exactly what we give him.
31:36Inform professional standards.
31:38Let them handle it.
31:38I will write a joint report on the professional standards portal now.
31:42Can we send?
31:43Okay, what shall we do now?
31:44Shall we hug?
31:45No, we don't hug.
31:45Come on, Jim, bring it in.
31:47No, I'm good.
31:47You're not a lone wolf anymore, Jim.
31:49You open up your heart.
31:50I swear to God, you touch me and it's assault.
31:55I've known Monica since she and Tony started dating,
31:58but I don't know her, know her.
32:01So I needed to speak to someone who does.
32:06I wanted to ask you about the accusation you made against her.
32:08That she killed your dad.
32:12Why do you ask?
32:15I've had to ascertain what she's capable of.
32:19But Tony told Monica he was a partner in my company,
32:22and obviously he isn't.
32:23But he was worried that that was what she loved about him.
32:27And that if he told her that she'd leave him and call off the wedding.
32:31And what if Tony was right?
32:33And that is all Monica wanted.
32:35If she invests all this energy into their relationship,
32:38she thinks she's getting this lifestyle,
32:40and then she finds out that he's been lying to her.
32:43What would her reaction be?
32:46What if that's what no more secrets meant,
32:48and he told her that night?
32:50And that's what got him killed.
33:15And that's what got him killed.
33:41Jim?
33:42You come to apologize properly,
33:44or haven't you done quite enough damage to your career for today?
33:48Either way, now is not the time.
33:50I've got the chairman of the Rotary Club here.
33:52Should we pop something in the diary for tomorrow?
33:54We'll invite Uma.
33:55You need to excuse yourself.
33:57Make time.
34:17Beep.
34:22Beep.
34:27Beep.
34:29Beep.
34:32Beep.
34:32Incident room.
34:33This is CCTV monitoring.
34:35There was a request to locate Carl Furman.
34:36Picked up on a camera on the north end of Clearville Street.
34:40Hang on.
34:42Clear...
34:42...
34:44...
34:44...
34:47...
35:03According to his interim post-mortem,
35:05Tony Salinger's blood type was O positive.
35:09Marvelous.
35:11Fascinating.
35:12And?
35:16This is the lab work for Tony Salinger's blood sample.
35:20The one that came back negative for alcohol.
35:23The sample that you were responsible for supervising.
35:26The one that got him off causing death by dangerous driving.
35:30The strange thing is, here, Tony's blood type is A positive.
35:39Your sample was not Tony Salinger's blood.
35:45Here's what I think happened.
35:47You switched the bloods to save Tony.
35:50No, no, that's not true.
35:51But then years later, he's about to come clean.
35:53You panic, you rush over to the hotel and then you kill him to cover it up.
35:56I've never killed anyone.
35:58And I've never, never been corrupt.
36:01Well, I mean, you have the floor.
36:04And while you're at it, can you explain how a superintendent's salary gets you a house this size?
36:09With this view?
36:11Bought the year after Tony's acquittal.
36:13I bought it with the money I inherited after my mother's death.
36:17You can check.
36:18We will.
36:20And this?
36:45Tony Salinger was in A&E.
36:47It was taking ages, so I wandered off.
36:52When I came back, the blood tests had been done.
36:54I picked up the sample, signed for it, and that was that.
36:57I didn't think anything of it.
36:58Where did you go?
37:03I'm not proud of this.
37:05I imagine.
37:07I was having, um, an affair with a lady who worked at the hospital, a nurse.
37:15She was on duty that night, so I...
37:19So we...
37:21Look, I was gone maybe half an hour, certainly not more.
37:24Darling, what's going on?
37:25You need to carve the joint.
37:27I'm so sorry.
37:28Um, perhaps Dennis could do the honors?
37:31Please don't wait.
37:32I'll be in very shortly.
37:33Just dotting some I's and T's here.
37:39When I came back from my activity, I swear the blood was just there ready for me.
37:48This nurse, what was her name?
37:51How is that relevant?
37:52I need to talk to her.
37:55Annie Franklin.
38:15Carl?
38:17Now tell me where you were Saturday night.
38:20Because you weren't at Le Sochet.
38:22In fact, you're very close to Tony's hotel when he's murdered.
38:29My relationship with Annie is ongoing.
38:32So I was at her house outside St. Juan.
38:35It's, I don't know, maybe a mile and a half away from that hotel off the same road.
38:41She's, uh, where I go when I go birdwatching.
38:46Please, please don't tell Julie.
38:49Here's to 30 years of wedded bliss.
38:53Listen, if the blood changed, somebody else must have done it.
38:56Then thank God we're not relying on you to find out who.
39:00Look, we all know the reason you're such a stickler for protocol is because you have zero instincts.
39:09No skills.
39:10No intuition.
39:12I'll see myself out.
39:14Enjoy your dinner.
39:17Better one mistake in 35 years than being vain, cavalier, and arrogant.
39:23Your disregard for protocol isn't charming, Jim. It's dangerous.
39:27It will end up getting someone killed one day.
39:29Might not be you, but someone always gets hurt.
39:45I will.
39:54Call!
39:56Call!
39:58Call!
40:23Carl?
40:26Oh, it's all right.
40:27It's all right.
40:28Easy.
40:29Easy, mate.
40:30Look, hang on.
40:31I'm a police officer, yeah?
40:34Yeah?
40:35I just want to ask you a few questions.
40:39Now, it's about when you were a barman, okay?
40:42Do you remember you gave testimony at an inquest 15 years ago?
40:47You said that someone who crashed their car was sober.
40:52Yeah.
40:53Yeah, I remember.
40:55Really?
40:57So what do you remember?
40:59Oh, I remember because the guy came back.
41:05He paid me.
41:08Ten grand.
41:11And I remember because Sally died.
41:15So the man that you told the police was drunk, he came back and he paid you to change your
41:21testimony at the inquest and say that, what, he hadn't been drinking?
41:26I had to say I got it wrong.
41:30I had to say I got it wrong.
41:31I used to work with Sally.
41:33She was so beautiful.
41:39And he killed him.
41:42And I took his money.
41:52And I took his money.
42:01And I took his money because the case could be reopened.
42:31I could do it with you tomorrow.
42:32I could do it with you tomorrow.
42:34Carl, addiction is, it's an illness, mate.
42:38So, how about I give you a little something to tide you over?
42:43Yeah?
42:45Yeah, just, just, just to get us to the police station.
42:51See, look, I brought you this.
43:03Good lad.
43:28I don't know.
43:52I don't know.
44:35I don't know.
44:54I don't know.
