00:03The
00:04Victim is Tony Salinger. He was found dead in his hotel room by his sister Ruth.
00:08From now on, no more secrets.
00:10What do you think he meant by that?
00:11I have no idea.
00:12We need to do a post-mortem.
00:13Right.
00:14Oh, sorry.
00:15What we have is the most important relationship that's happened to me for years.
00:22He taught me through, uh, swapping Tony's blood.
00:25He'd pay me if I took the test for him.
00:28We should go to Bermuda and find your dad.
00:32Then what?
00:32Kill him for real.
00:34That's the code from the CCTV.
00:35It certainly looks like it.
00:37Nicola Barton, I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Tony Salinger between...
00:41Are you serious?
00:42I went to see Monica, okay?
00:43I found his passport!
00:45Where is it now?
00:46She burnt it.
00:48Well, it's about Michael Barton.
00:50He's volatile.
00:51He's aggressive.
00:53Nobody wanted this to happen.
01:10What else was I supposed to do?
01:12He saw the photograph of Bermuda.
01:14He knew we forged the guard.
01:16Where's his phone?
01:17You did take his phone, didn't you?
01:20Yes, he did.
01:23Move his car around the back.
01:27And then what?
01:28What were you gonna do?
01:30What I always do, Michael, I'm gonna clear up your mess.
01:36I'm hillocks, that's biraz more of a film.
02:14You have a fan.
02:17Emma was at yoga.
02:19You were all she could talk about.
02:22Such fun, she kept saying.
02:25Usually when she says fun, she thinks someone's deranged.
02:30But in your case, I think she really...
02:33Nigel?
02:38Where are you?
03:12The number you have dialed is no longer in service.
03:14Please check and try again.
03:17The number you have dialed is no longer in...
03:40I notice you still haven't untied me.
03:44Monica.
03:49What's the plan then?
03:50Are you going to...
03:53strangle me?
03:55Are you going to suffocate me?
03:57That's up to you.
03:59What won't hurt?
04:01How about old age?
04:03Huh?
04:07Where's Alan now?
04:10If he's not in Bermuda?
04:14You're sitting on him.
04:19Wow.
04:25They were fighting about Alan leaving and Michael pushed him.
04:34Alan hit his head on the table.
04:37I came home and found them.
04:39It was an accident but I knew how it looked and Michael wouldn't survive prison.
04:48So...
04:49We didn't tell anyone.
04:52And we put Alan down here.
04:56Is that what No More Secrets meant?
05:00Did Tony know and that's what got him killed?
05:02I didn't kill Tony.
05:04That was nothing to do with me.
05:06What about Michael?
05:07Was it another argument that got out of control?
05:09It wasn't Michael either.
05:11But he did...
05:14kill Alan.
05:16So why isn't Michael here?
05:18Why am I having this conversation with you?
05:21I'm stronger than him.
05:23You've met him.
05:24He's just a child.
05:29Do you have any children?
05:32Yeah.
05:33Yeah, I do.
05:35I have a daughter.
05:36She's called Kim.
05:37She's actually living in Jersey.
05:39In 24 hours, she's...
05:42She's going to this big music school on the...
05:44Don't tell me about her.
05:45Sorry.
05:46But I know what you're doing.
06:04Don't you want to protect her?
06:06I want her to be brave.
06:10I want her to take responsibility for her actions.
06:13Must be lovely, loving someone like that.
06:17You're crossing a line now.
06:20Both of you are.
06:21Listen.
06:22Michael.
06:23Michael.
06:24Complete manslaughter.
06:26He could just be looking at a few years and you...
06:28Helping him conceal it.
06:30You're his mum.
06:30Even the jury will understand that.
06:32You might even get a non-custodial.
06:33But if you kill me now, I swear to God, we're talking life.
06:37No parole.
06:37No.
06:38No early release for good behaviour.
06:39You are never, ever coming out.
06:41I don't understand why you don't understand.
06:44You've got a daughter.
06:45You'd fight bears for her.
06:47You'd fight armies.
06:50You'd kill one dangerous man.
06:53Someone will find out.
06:55The police know I'm here.
06:57Someone is going to come looking for me.
06:58You'll be long gone by then.
07:01Hey!
07:02Hey!
07:04Shush.
07:06Hi, Michael.
07:07Is Monica there?
07:09I tried her house.
07:10No.
07:10Is that...
07:11Isn't that her car outside?
07:14Then yes.
07:16Ruth?
07:17Hi.
07:18I'm here.
07:19Hi.
07:19Michael, let Ruth in.
07:22Hello.
07:23I was just clearing out some of Alan's things.
07:25Oh.
07:26Um, I'm sorry to tell her I've announced like...
07:36Could you call the police?
07:40We need to get Tony's body released.
07:42Um, I've asked them, but, um...
07:45I just...
07:45I think it would sound better coming from you.
07:48Oh, you've cut yourself.
07:50Oh, um...
07:51I was opening a can.
07:53What with?
07:54A 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?
08:01They've arrested Nicola.
08:05What?
08:06Um, I spoke to them.
08:07Not Bergerac.
08:08A different one.
08:10About 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.
08:19Look, Nicola and I were in touch.
08:23She 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.
08:31Look, I'm...
08:32I'm so sorry, Monica.
08:34I just...
08:34I assumed you'd been told.
08:43Um, Mum, uh, needs to be alone.
08:47Oh, yes.
08:49No, of course.
08:50Um, sorry.
09:05And you'll speak to the police about releasing the body?
09:07Yes, sir.
09:08Leave that with us.
09:09Now, Ruth.
09:10I just think it's really important...
09:32Arnie.
09:33Oh.
09:34Forensics have come back with a final report on the card from Alan Barton.
09:37Yeah, I've seen a report.
09:38The card is genuine.
09:39Yeah, that was the, um, the interim.
09:41This is the full file.
09:42Simon, give me the headlines.
09:44Okay, so...
09:45They compared the card with three samples from friends.
09:48They said the handwriting is superficially adept,
09:51but upon further examination,
09:52there are enough inconsistencies
09:54to suggest it was not written by Alan Barton.
09:57What?
09:57It was principally in the letter formation,
09:59the pressure, slant and the spacing.
10:01Hang on, so Michael forged the card.
10:03Does it say that in there?
10:03It does, yeah, basically in the conclusion at the end.
10:10It wasn't suicide, it wasn't Monica.
10:14It was Michael.
10:24Davey, get two cars ready.
10:26This one.
10:26Cara.
10:27Fuck it.
10:28Everyone!
10:29Listen up.
10:30Later.
10:44Hmm.
10:44Hmm.
10:49Hmm.
10:51Hmm.
11:07Oh, my God.
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
11:40she was going to take away the thing you love most in the world.
11:43Monica, just listen to me.
11:46You shut up.
11:46Just, just...
11:47Shut up.
11:48Shut up!
11:52Monica.
11:52Shut up.
11:53Just be quiet.
11:57Because I need to think.
12:05Okay, and then...
12:07And then...
12:08And then it's over.
12:10It's over.
12:10And then it's over.
12:16You never answered my question
12:19about the best way to die.
12:22What's suffocation like?
12:24It's pretty unpleasant, I imagine.
12:26Worse than this.
12:34Well then.
12:50What are you doing?
12:52I'm looking for a plastic bag.
12:54and then it's over.
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.
14:21Where are we going?
14:24The cellar.
14:43Oh, Jesus.
14:44What the fuck?
14:45Oh, my God.
14:47Michael killed Alan.
14:48They're going to kill me, too.
15:05Run.
15:14Where is he?
15:15I don't know.
15:19Oh, God.
15:23Oh, God!
15:24Michael, no!
15:29Oh!
15:30Hey!
15:30Stop! Stop!
15:31Michael, don't do this.
15:33Look, I spoke to your mum.
15:35She said it was an accident.
15:37I understand that.
15:37Then 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.
15:51It's all right, Michael.
15:52Oh, God.
15:52It's all right.
15:53Come on.
15:53It's over, love.
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.
16:02Do your worst.
16:04Let you know that already, though, don't you?
16:06You're so clever, I tell everyone.
16:07He runs rings around me, I say.
16:11What's your chess ranking?
16:14200?
16:16I'm not an 88 in the world.
16:19Well, there you are there.
16:21So, come on, let Ruth go now.
16:24Come on.
16:25Poor Ruth.
16:25Look, she's so rumpled.
16:28It's all right.
16:29Come on.
16:29It's over, love.
16:31It's over.
16:34That's it.
16:35Good boy.
16:36Good boy.
16:37There we are.
16:40There we are.
16:44There we are.
16:45That's it.
16:49There's my Michael Bear.
16:53It's all right, Mum's here.
16:57Mum's here now.
16:58Come on.
16:59It's all right.
17:00It's all right.
17:01You're all right.
17:01You're all right.
17:03It's all right, Michael.
17:06Mum's here.
17:07Oh, dear.
17:11You know, the most interesting thing about all this is,
17:14no Jim Bergerac.
17:15Now, I'm not saying he was holding us back,
17:16but it is funny how the whole thing resolves
17:18the minute he steps away.
17:27I think we've found him.
17:39Lots of families around here, so, you know, lots of birthdays.
17:43Sounds like a great idea.
17:45Would you excuse me one second?
17:47Here, have a read of that.
17:49Can I help?
17:50Yes, I'm looking for Nigel.
17:51Nigel Morton?
17:52Right.
17:53I think you've got the wrong address, so...
17:55But this is his restaurant.
17:57No.
17:59This is...
18:01Well, it's not really anything right now.
18:03They want to turn it into one of those
18:05paint your own pottery places,
18:07but I sort of feel that's had its day.
18:09But we, um...
18:12We 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,
18:27but then we thought, you know what?
18:28Let's give something back.
18:30But then, well, this, um,
18:32older gentleman came in to collect the keys.
18:34Then he could have been a mature student, I suppose.
18:37What did he look like?
18:38Slightly balding.
18:40Late 60s.
18:41Absolutely charming, to be fair.
18:44Are you all right?
18:45Yes.
18:47Um...
18:48I'm sorry to have interrupted.
18:58I'm sorry to have to interfere.
19:04I need you.
19:13I need you.
19:14I need you.
19:15I must've made you sick.
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.
19:50We are charging her with Tony's murder.
19:52That 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 Wack.
20:40Yeah, we're kind to everyone, Monica.
20:43How's Nicola?
20:44I 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?
21:14He 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.
21:29Either 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?
21:36Well, I 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.
21:49And you panic.
21:52Because that means Michael goes to prison.
21:54I told you.
21:55Tony 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.
22:01Just like I am now.
22:02In all the Hulapaloo, 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.
22:53Tony, so when I went back to the room with the knife, he was sleeping.
23:03It was peaceful.
23:04He 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.
23:25You'd fight bears.
23:27You'd kill one dangerous man.
23:55She's all yours.
23:59Hey.
24:02Your phone.
24:03It's not evidence.
24:05There's a seven missed calls from Kim.
24:08We can let Nicola go.
24:10Whoa, whoa, whoa.
24:11What?
24:12Why?
24:12Monica killed Tony.
24:14She 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?
24:25What'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.
25:21120,000 pounds.
25:24Right.
25:28Yeah.
25:30Um...
25:30Listen, listen.
25:32People have lost more.
25:33So, you know, don't feel bad.
25:35But, um...
25:37Look, now we have some options.
25:39Okay?
25:40Did 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...
25:51That'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...
26:00Some love-struck teenager.
26:02I can think.
26:03I can reason.
26:05I ran a business.
26:08I was a magistrate.
26:09I...
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.
26:16And...
26:16And he had a business plan.
26:18And there was some...
26:19Partner, someone he was working with.
26:21Okay, yeah.
26:21Well, they were working together.
26:23You know?
26:23Sometimes maybe they switch roles.
26:25Nigel is...
26:25Is the business partner.
26:26And the other guy is the...
26:30The...
26:30Nigel.
26:35We were lovers.
26:38I know.
26:43Like I said, look, we have some options now.
26:47These options...
26:48They will require me to press charges, don't they?
26:52What?
26:52Yeah.
26:53I won't do that.
26:55Charlie...
26:55I won't do that.
26:58I'll be humiliated.
26:59I'll be a punchline.
27:03I'll be Millie Favisham.
27:06I'm sure you think a reputation is a quaint thing.
27:10Your reputation waxes and wanes.
27:13You don't care anymore.
27:15How lovely for you.
27:19But for the rest of us...
27:23It's a pile of poker chips.
27:33I'll say I ended the relationship.
27:37I might even throw something vulgar and salacious.
27:42You're terrible in bed.
27:45People will laugh.
27:47And I'll seem powerful.
27:53To the rest of the world.
27:56I'll still be me.
28:03So...
28:03There we are.
28:10What happened to you?
28:11You look terrible.
28:33You can't do this.
28:38Sue me.
28:39Sadly, I don't have the time.
28:40I'm flying back to the mainland.
28:41Just waiting for my taxi.
28:44You know, I have sympathy for some of the people I deal with.
28:47Yeah.
28:47They'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.
28:55Even 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.
29:09My girlfriend gave me some money for a business opportunity that has frustratingly gone away.
29:14And now that relationship has come to an end.
29:18Am I missing something?
29:19Is 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.
29:56Cab perm said ten minutes.
30:00How do you know where I was, by the way?
30:02On your second date, you took flowers for Charlie.
30:05You 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, I 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, but you're holding yourself together.
30:34Solving crimes.
30:36Never mind what Charlie says.
30:38I think you're a great father.
30:41Give 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.
30:57Little white lie, like inflating your income or saying you love Downton Abbey when it makes you want to gouge
31:04your 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, why they exist.
31:36The people they target tend to be venal and callous.
31:42They live for the schadenfreude.
31:46Makes their eyes roll back in their head, Jim.
31:50And these women, they're cowards.
31:55If they were decent or brave, those 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, but 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.
32:366.15.
32:38Yeah, that works.
32:39Thank you, Wendy.
33:02Ah, finally.
33:03Where is everyone?
33:04The pub, waiting for you.
33:06It's not every day we solve two murders for the price of one.
33:09Especially not two in the same family.
33:12I mean, my mum and dad are naturists.
33:16Shut up.
33:17Yeah.
33:17They spend half their year playing table tennis with other naked pensioners.
33:22And I thought that was weird and dysfunctional.
33:24But anyway, great result, boss.
33:28Er, yeah.
33:30Yeah, it is.
33:31Tell your face.
33:33I'm sorry.
33:34I was, er, 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.
33:55Er, has, has Nicola gone?
33:57Yeah, you said release her.
33:59No, I, no, I, um, I just, I need to talk to her.
34:02What, what time did she leave?
34:03About half an hour ago, I'm sure you can catch her at a hotel.
34:06Cara, let's not with this.
34:10We owe her an apology.
34:11Hmm.
34:12I 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?
34:21Oh, 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.
34:46We 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 too.
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?
35:20Er, yeah.
35:24So, are you coming then?
35:26I can't drink, I'm on these painkillers.
35:27Um, well, I heard that some pubs have started doing non-alcoholic drinks.
35:33Look, it's, 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, we don't know.
35:48Oh, God, what?
36:04Sorry, it's all right.
36:06Well, it's okay.
36:10We haven't really had a moment, just the two of us.
36:14How are you feeling?
36:15Ah, yeah, it's been a day.
36:17I know, right?
36:23I finally got a date for the cremation.
36:27Four weeks tomorrow.
36:30Why does it take so long?
36:32It'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, no, you can't do that.
36:50He's mine now.
36:51You had your chance, you 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 a line of dominos.
37:10You're nowhere, and then something happens,
37:13and one topples, which knocks the next one,
37:15which knocks the next one, on and on, unstoppable.
37:19And the first domino was.
37:22You'd have known about those payments.
37:23Tony paid Ian 50 grand for swapping the bloods,
37:27and 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.
37:37The first time I met Ruth,
37:39she said she handled the products and the finances,
37:42while Tony did the networking and the schmoozing.
37:45In your press release today,
37:46you said you built this company.
37:48You know it, inside out.
37:50I don't think your staff can buy a paper clip
37:54without your approval.
37:55We could run a forensic audit on the company,
37:57see if we can find the payments.
37:58Well, hang on, let's just play this out.
38:00Say she did authorize the payments,
38:01I'm sure she wasn't exactly thrilled,
38:02but it meant that Tony didn't go to prison.
38:04The scandal didn't capsize the company,
38:06but then fast forward 15 years,
38:09Tony gets up and he says,
38:10no more secrets.
38:11And that was the second domino.
38:13He tells Monica,
38:14he means her and Alan,
38:16and the car accident.
38:19Tony going to prison would have been bad enough,
38:20but you helped cover it up.
38:22That's you screwed as well.
38:23That's your whole company,
38:25your life's work,
38:27gone.
38:27And so I wanted to kill him.
38:30How is that less of a risk?
38:32Well, it was a calculated risk
38:34and paid off.
38:36Because look,
38:37Sal went through,
38:37they're fine.
38:38But it was Monica.
38:40She confessed.
38:41Yeah,
38:42and a confession is usually
38:43a bit of a conversation to stop her.
38:45But then one of my colleagues
38:46said something.
38:48Dominant number three.
38:49Right,
38:49there was one weird thing.
38:52When Ruth came in earlier,
38:53she was asking about
38:54when we'd released
38:55Tony's body for cremation.
38:56Well,
38:56it's gone already,
38:57hasn'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,
39:02she said the exact same thing.
39:03I mean,
39:04Tony's body wasn't even cold
39:05at this point.
39:06And then when you came around
39:06to Michael's house
39:07and I was in the cellar,
39:09I heard you telling Monica
39:10she should hurry us up
39:11and get Tony's body released.
39:13Yes,
39:13because I wanted closure.
39:15And that was the last domino.
39:17When Monica was arrested,
39:18she said Tony never felt a thing.
39:21He was asleep,
39:22she said.
39:23A knife plunged through
39:25all that flesh,
39:26muscle and sin,
39:28you wouldn't wake up.
39:29What are you saying?
39:30I'm saying
39:31when Monica stabbed Tony,
39:34he was already dead.
39:36You don't think it's possible
39:37she said that
39:38just to distance herself
39:39from what she did.
39:40And Tony had been drinking all day.
39:42He could have passed out.
39:43He could have taken
39:43a sleeping pill.
39:45There was nothing like that
39:46in his post-mortem.
39:46And that's the thing
39:47with tests like that.
39:48Especially with such
39:49an obvious cause of death.
39:50They're looking for context.
39:52Not cause.
39:54This is...
39:55No.
39:56Ruth?
39:57Ruth!
40:01No.
40:01No, just...
40:06Can you let me...
40:07Can you...
40:08Can you let me out?
40:10Can someone help me, please?
40:11Um, I'm locked in.
40:16What is this?
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.
40:28You're not fit for purpose.
40:31I'm not fit for purpose.
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,
41:25and 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.
41:48I did my dissertation on natural poisons.
41:52A bit macabre, perhaps.
41:57I had some in my car.
41:58Can 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.
42:09Did you know that?
42:12I thought, my God,
42:13the lives I could save.
42:17Oh, God.
42:23I thought...
42:51Hello, welcome to the Clifton.
42:53Hi, this is DCI Bergerac. I'm trying to reach Nicola Barton. She's not answering her phone. Can you put me
42:57through? She's in room 410
43:32Oh my god. I ran. I was jumping over the trolley things and had to show my warrant card and
43:41passport control. I didn't actually know I could do that. They released me two hours ago? Yeah, I'm sorry. But
43:50things got really...
43:52Yeah, we've arrested Ruth. She did it too. It's complicated. Your mother stabbed Tony's corpse.
44:05I'm gonna be in therapy for the rest of my life.
44:08Flight 3096 to Manchester is now boarding at gate number 2. That's me.
44:15Please have your boarding passes ready.
44:18Well, um, thanks for letting me know that this could have been an email, albeit a long, really weird one.
44:28I wanted to tell you to your face.
44:29A Zoom then. We could have done this on Zoom.
44:32No, I wanted to stop you leaving. In the beginning, nothing could happen because of the case, but we're not
44:44there yet. It's different now.
44:46You can be seen with me.
44:48Yeah, but 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.
45:05Well, they send it back. What do you need? What do you need? We've got shops. We've several shops in
45:09Jersey.
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. Sometimes in situations when there's damage, Tony...
45:22Are you actually answering that question?
45:30Give me an hour.
45:34Just give me a week.
45:37No.
45:41Tony, Monaco, Michael, Jesus. No, Ruth is too much.
45:47There was a time when I'd be buzzing with the horror and the drama of it all, but I don't
45:52want that now.
45:54You'll say you don't want it either, but you love having your finger hovering over the self-destruct button.
46:00It'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. You didn't trust me.
46:24And I've spent too much of my life being called crazy.
46:27You're not crazy.
46:28No.
46:30But you might be.
46:33And for once, I need to make a healthy decision.
46:40Would you describe yourself as a healthy decision?
46:51No.
46:55Not right now.
46:56Not right now.
46:56Not right now.
47:00Not right now.
47:01Not right now.
47:14Not right now.
47:26Not right now.
47:48Not right now.
47:49Not right.
47:53No.
47:55You didn'tiderate.
47:56It's okay, I wasn't doing anything today, we can just watch our own shifts.
48:00Oh, to London, to the school.
48:02We've talked about this.
48:03Yeah, we did. But you weren't completely honest with me, were you?
48:07Do I need a liar?
48:09Don't get me wrong, I think you are worried about me.
48:16But, um...
48:17Charlie saw your computer, she...
48:19She saw you'd been looking for advice about first-year nerves.
48:25We missed all the clues, I'm really sorry.
48:31But fear can't control your life.
48:34If you could do this, then I promise you nothing will ever be this scary again.
48:40But if you don't, if you let fear win, then nothing will ever be this easy.
48:47It's not just about you now, is it?
48:50What about Granny?
48:51Oh, I'll take care of her.
48:54Yeah, there's a lot less inheritance, so we might as well keep her around.
49:01Are you sure you can both manage?
49:03Honestly?
49:06It's not your concern.
49:15Okay.
49:17I'll tell Granny.
49:21I'll tell Granny.
49:38I'm handing in my notice.
49:40I wanted you to be the first to know.
49:43I've really enjoyed my time on the Force, but what happened with the inn?
49:46That was a wake-up call.
49:48I've allowed the job to take precedence over other areas of my life, and...
49:53I think it's time I take stock and investigate other challenges.
50:00And the non-bullshit version?
50:02Although I think I can probably guess.
50:04Jim.
50:06Nobody works with Jim.
50:08Every time we attend, he considers rules and protocols, even the most basic precepts of policing, to be a serving
50:15suggestion that don't apply to him.
50:16But it never matters, because he keeps fucking winning.
50:19He keeps getting results.
50:22When you say he doesn't follow rules, I mean, that's hardly a shock, but...
50:26Is there anything specific I should know?
50:55Jim is Jim, but this dynamic is turning me into someone I 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, I'm cursed to spend my whole career sat opposite Jim Bergerac.
51:14There might be another option.
51:17Richard Gibbon has decided to take early retirement.
51:21Obviously, that doesn't have anything to do with wanting to limit the IPOC's investigation of Ian.
51:26I couldn't possibly comment.
51:28That means there'll be a quick game of musical chairs as people move up or sideways.
51:34So, how would you feel about switching lanes and taking a more managerial route?
51:47You mean be his boss one day?
52:07Is it too early to start drinking?
52:10I'm asking the wrong person.
52:12She seemed okay.
52:14She seemed excited.
52:16She did, didn't she?
52:17You needn't have said anything.
52:19She could have stayed, gone next year.
52:22I respect you for not doing that.
52:25Well, sometimes the best thing you can do for the people you care about is to...
52:29...take yourself out of the equation.
52:35We don't have to be friends now.
52:37I'm sure you find constantly biting your tongue as exhausting as I do.
52:42All this time, you'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 with Rachel in it.
53:10All this...
53:12was Fields.
53:18I'd like us to be friends again.
53:27I don't want your pity, Jim.
53:29Well, you can have my sympathy.
53:31It's different.
53:35I'm not sure I ever gave you much sympathy.
53:38Ha!
53:39I think Rachel would be disappointed in me for that.
53:43I think she'd be disappointed in me for lots of things, not least.
53:47The example I'm setting her daughter.
53:53Did we prepare Kim for the world?
53:57We did our best.
54:01But...
54:02Did we prepare the world for Kim?
54:06I mean...
54:09Are we making it safer for her?
54:15What I mean is...
54:18You do, I know you do all the time.
54:22But...
54:24What am I doing?
54:30Perhaps like you...
54:33I need to take myself out of the equation.
55:00You wanted to see me.
55:01Charlie, this is Cara.
55:02Who I work with.
55:04Cara, this is my mother-in-law.
55:05Hello.
55:06Charlie Hungerford.
55:07Hi, Mrs. Hungerford.
55:09How do you do?
55:10Very good.
55:10Cara will look after you.
55:12I'll be just outside.
55:13She'll explain.
55:37I want to report a crime.
56:05Tell me, how you look at me.
56:07Oh my God!
56:22I'm on my bed.
56:22I'm on my bed for her.
56:23The one with a Emory, is saving me!
