00:04You
00:45Oh, shit.
01:00Let's go.
01:30Let's go.
02:05So, put your hands together for my good friend, businessman, terrible golfer, even worse swimmer, the groove.
02:18I don't have to do that.
02:23It's fine.
02:30So, hello.
02:32Quite a day.
02:35Thank you to everyone for joining Monique Rumi on this amazing day.
02:51We keep so many things hidden, don't we?
02:56I mean, there's so many things we just bury.
03:04And we think it's the right thing to do.
03:07We think that if all our secrets came out, our lives would be ruined.
03:16Like they protect us.
03:18Well, they don't.
03:20They imprison us.
03:22They stop us from being who we could be.
03:28And I can't live like that anymore.
03:33So, from now on, no more secrets.
03:50What the fuck is giving people their first home?
03:54So, newlyweds or, you know, maybe they just had a baby.
03:57Handing them the keys and seeing their faces like that.
04:00I remember renting.
04:04Yeah, well, I lost half my deposit.
04:06And because there was limescale on the tap, I put it in a picture of the bedroom.
04:11You should have gone to court.
04:13No, yeah.
04:14Sure, yeah.
04:15With all the spare money I had after paying the landlord's mortgage for a year.
04:20Anyway, you know, the letting stage here.
04:22That only happens if the tenant breaks a clause in the contract.
04:26Yeah, I mean, I'd occupy the property.
04:27I'd breathe in and out.
04:28Someone else's property.
04:30It belonged to someone else.
04:33Sorry if that comes as a shocker to you.
04:35No, my job brings me into lots of people's homes.
04:38I've seen rented flats with no heating, broken windows, mould.
04:44They didn't view it before they moved in.
04:47It's not as simple as that.
04:51It kind of is.
05:09Tony?
05:25How was your linguine?
05:28It was a lot like carbonara.
05:30You should have said.
05:31Pardon?
05:32I ordered carbonara.
05:37If they'd brought me the wrong meal, why wouldn't I just say?
05:39Well, I don't know.
05:40If you didn't want to appear difficult.
05:44Difficult?
05:45Difficult.
05:46Difficult was not the right word.
05:48Getting the meal I ordered is not being difficult.
05:53Let me walk you to your car.
05:55Sure.
05:56Or we could not.
05:58Yeah.
05:59Yeah, that would also work.
06:08Uh...
06:08Good luck.
06:16That was genuinely painful.
06:20You hurt all that?
06:21I only caught the death rattle, but every inch of me is clenched.
06:28She was kind of a dick, though.
06:32Wasn't she?
06:34Uh, to be fair, you were too.
06:38Ah, you see now, you're being ridiculous.
06:41At least I'm not being difficult.
06:43Yeah, I actually said that, didn't I?
06:46It's nice that she wished you good luck, though.
06:47All the best dates end with one person wishing the other one good luck.
06:50Yeah, you think it'll come up with more balance?
06:54Thanks.
07:08So, does whoever pulls out the knife become king of Jersey?
07:14Shut up, Michael.
07:17Well, what do we do?
07:19You're the bloody policeman.
07:20What, what, do we call someone?
07:23Ian?
07:25Why are you in Jersey?
07:26Why am I in Jersey?
07:28I came to see my mum.
07:30I'm trying to rebuild some bridges, but I backed out, which I knew I would.
07:36Let me guess.
07:37Step eight.
07:40A willingness to make amends to the people we've wronged.
07:44The orange juice, though, you don't even have the wine list on the table, and the elastic band on your
07:51wrist.
07:52You snap it to break the thought cycle.
07:57You should be a detective.
07:59People have said that.
08:03You're drinking water.
08:05Step one.
08:08Well, a baby.
08:11Still stumbling through the wreckage, yeah?
08:15Yeah.
08:16Yeah, it's shocking just how much I was able to ruin.
08:21Have you got anyone looking after you?
08:27Sorry.
08:32Give me a second.
08:34I have to take this.
08:37I should go.
08:43Look, I don't know how long I'm going to be here for, so make it interesting.
09:04Jim Bush, right?
09:05No.
09:21Right.
09:22The victim is Tony Salinger, 64.
09:25It was his wedding.
09:26He was found dead in his hotel room by his sister, Ruth.
09:29Single stab wound to the chest.
09:30We're putting time of death somewhere between 7.45 and 8.30.
09:34We all know Ian Monkford from the drug squad.
09:36Ian was a guest at the wedding.
09:38He knew the victim.
09:39So I've asked him to give us a breakdown of the principles.
09:43Yeah, right.
09:44Hello, everyone.
09:45Arnie, again.
09:46Thanks for the intel on a contaminated batch.
09:48No worries, fella.
09:49That's just right place, right time.
09:51Oh, good for all shit, mate.
09:52Guys, go for a drink sometime.
09:53Oh, yeah.
09:54Yeah, sorry.
09:56It was Tony's wedding.
09:57He married Monica, Monica Barton.
10:00Then there's Ruth, Tony's sister.
10:03She and Tony own a pharmaceutical company together.
10:08Monica has a son from her first marriage.
10:10There's a daughter.
10:11She didn't come.
10:12I've not met her.
10:14Not sure who was.
10:15Did anything out of the ordinary happen today?
10:17Any fights?
10:18I mean, it was a wedding.
10:20Well, he fell in his swimming pool.
10:23Tony did.
10:23A waiter saved him.
10:26Everybody thought he was really funny, to be honest.
10:29Okay.
10:29Weird.
10:30Thanks, Ian.
10:32What?
10:33Ian.
10:35See you later.
10:35Oh, cheers.
10:36Cheers.
10:38Anybody else think it's very convenient this guy gets murdered hours after he gets married?
10:44Tell you why.
10:45Because as soon as he signs that marriage certificate, the wife, or the widow now, she gets everything.
10:50Yeah.
10:50I mean, let's keep our minds open.
10:53But, uh, yeah.
10:54I mean, potentially massively convenient.
10:55Um, take a look at the company for any litigations, scandals.
10:59Um, Simon, call the station.
11:01Get the incident room up and running.
11:02And someone find this waiter that pulled Tony from the pool.
11:06Yeah.
11:08Hey.
11:09It's your thing tomorrow, isn't it?
11:11Yep.
11:12How you feeling?
11:13Yeah, no, I'm looking forward to it, actually.
11:15Well, good luck.
11:16Yeah.
11:16Good luck.
11:18All right, don't go on about it.
11:19Christ.
11:21Why were there so few guests here?
11:24The call came in about 8.55, but the manager said that, uh, well, pretty much everyone had
11:28gone except for you and the family.
11:30Well, after Tony's speech, um, everything went a bit, uh, I think he was still rattled after
11:36falling in the pool, and he, he started to say things.
11:39What things?
11:40Um, he talked about secrets.
11:43No more secrets.
11:44He said, uh, I'm sure somebody's filmed it.
11:47Uh, and then him and the family went upstairs to his room, and everybody was like, uh, what
11:52happens now?
11:53Um, and so they all just went.
11:57Okay.
11:58Uh, I'll get Simon to take your statement.
12:00Then go home.
12:01Oh, no, Jim, I want to help.
12:03What?
12:04No, that's not possible.
12:05There's yours and Tony's connection, plus you were at the wedding.
12:09So, strictly speaking, you're a witness.
12:11Jim can't spare you.
12:12No, no, it's dead quiet after we sorted that bad batch.
12:15No, no.
12:16Please.
12:18It was my mate.
12:21I need to know where you were between 7.45 and 8.30.
12:23Don't give me that look.
12:25You do the same.
12:27I said, I was outside the hotel entrance.
12:29It'll be on the CCTV.
12:30Okay, once we've checked that, once we've checked that, you can start by going through
12:36every photo, every piece of fan footage from the guests, including this speech.
12:40All right.
12:55All our secrets came out.
12:58Our lives would be ruined.
13:01Like they protect us.
13:02Well, they don't.
13:04Secrets ruin us.
13:05They imprison us.
13:07They stop us from being who we could be.
13:10And I can't live like that anymore.
13:13So, from now on, no more secrets.
13:36James?
13:41Try it.
13:43Oh, good.
13:44You can carry this.
13:48We heard your name on the news.
13:50The girls want to grill you.
13:52Who did it?
13:52Who are your suspects?
13:54We won't breathe a word.
13:55Well, it's far too early to say.
13:57You should look at who benefits from his death.
13:59Uh, why haven't we thought of that?
14:01Oh, and anyone who didn't like him.
14:03Wow, this is...
14:04Uh, has anyone got a pen?
14:06Ignore him.
14:07He's just being clever.
14:09If you're not going to amuse us, just collect your daughter and make your way to the nearest exit.
14:14Was there something else?
14:15You're loitering?
14:17No.
14:18Just, um...
14:21All on your own, are you?
14:22Apart from Kim.
14:24Why?
14:26No reason.
14:30Who's for coffee?
14:32Here.
14:41Nigel.
14:41This is ridiculous.
14:42Jim, hello.
14:44Sorry, I didn't realise the door was open.
14:47Charlie likes me to keep it closed.
14:49It's been four months.
14:51She needs to come out about you.
14:54I'm going to talk to her.
14:55No, sorry.
14:56You should talk to her.
14:57It's fine, Jim, really.
14:59She has a standing here.
15:01Her boyfriends tend to be filthy rich.
15:03She makes me park it in the woods.
15:06Remarkable woman.
15:08Besides, I've got heaps to be getting on with.
15:11Look, mood boards.
15:13They did a thing on them on loose women.
15:15They've had the restaurant.
15:17I'm thinking traditional Italian bistro, but with a dash of irony.
15:21Because we're all grown-ups.
15:23Well, these look great, Nigel.
15:26Hope, Jim.
15:28We're sunk without it.
15:35Hey, good to go?
15:37So, tell me, how was last night?
15:39Well, someone got murdered, so...
15:40Before that, idiot.
15:41Before that was...
15:44It was a lot of fun.
15:47Brilliant.
15:48You mean with Daisy?
15:49No, that was awful.
15:50We hated each other.
15:51You said it was a lot of fun.
15:52No, I meant afterwards.
15:53The murder?
15:55Between...
15:56Doesn't matter.
15:57So, who's next on the list?
15:59The vet?
16:00Can we just...
16:01Look, there's no hurry.
16:03I leave in six...
16:05Oh, my God, five days.
16:07You need someone not to look after you, just to make an effort for.
16:11Or you'll eat toast and wear the same shirt for a week.
16:16Oh, my timetable came through.
16:23I've still got to write essays and read books, can you believe it?
16:25What, did you think you'd be playing your violin for two years?
16:27Well, that's all they were doing in the pictures in the prospectus.
16:35Five days.
16:38How are you feeling?
16:40Really excited.
16:41Yeah.
16:41What about you?
16:44Can't wait to see the back of you.
16:47Kim?
16:49Come and say goodbye to the girls.
16:51They want to give you some money.
16:52Just run a brush for your hair.
16:54Can I come down now?
16:56I'm getting a bit hungry.
16:58Nearly, darling.
16:59Charlie, it's time you told people about Nigel.
17:02You have him hiding in the bedroom.
17:03There are books.
17:04I always leave the window open, just a little.
17:07It's fine, Jim, honestly.
17:09No, Dad's right.
17:10Nigel's ace.
17:12You should show him off.
17:15Millie Favisham.
17:17Her husband's just been arrested for insider trading.
17:20Certain people, who may or may not currently be in the garden, have responded less than charitably.
17:27And Nigel is delicate.
17:29I don't want him exposed to their scrutiny.
17:33I'm always thinking of someone else.
17:36Textbook Charlie.
17:43It is definitely a challenging role, but that is what interests me.
17:47I'd like to use all the experience I've accrued at CID to meet that challenge.
17:52And I think that experience means that I can offer almost as much as I can learn.
17:57Speaking of using expertise, I hear congratulations are in order.
18:01Thanks to a lead.
18:02The I-Crosia shared with a drug squad a contaminated batch of heroin that had already claimed two lives taken
18:08out of circulation.
18:10Well, thank you.
18:11That is kind of my point.
18:13I think that there can be a tendency for people to hoard intelligence.
18:18Everyone protecting their own little fiefdom.
18:20What I'd like to do, I'd like to encourage more dialogue between departments.
18:24Well, you have a lot of fans in the drug squad.
18:27I'm sure if it were up to them, the job would be yours already.
18:32But it isn't.
18:34Tim, I believe you have a question.
18:58Michael Barton?
18:59DCI Jim Bergerac.
19:00I just want to say-
19:01The police took the suit I was wearing.
19:02It's hired.
19:03Who's going to pay for that?
19:07I'll see what I can do.
19:10I'll see what I can do.
19:16Mother.
19:17Mrs Salinger.
19:19I'm very sorry for your loss.
19:21I'm DCI Jim Bergerac.
19:23I'm going to be leading the investigation.
19:25I know you've already given a statement.
19:26I just have a couple more questions.
19:28Now, look at the state of her.
19:31It's all right, Michael.
19:33Is it okay if my children stay?
19:36Of course, yeah.
19:37If that's, uh...
19:38I'm sorry, your children.
19:40My daughter's here.
19:41She came back to me.
19:45Darling, this is DCI Bergerac.
19:49Is it indeed?
20:01We know that Tony fell in the pool.
20:05And we are talking to the waiter who pulled him out.
20:10I wanted to talk to you about afterwards.
20:14How did Tony seem?
20:16A bit preoccupied.
20:18I think he was quite shaken up.
20:20In his speech, he said,
20:22no more secrets.
20:23What do you think he meant by that?
20:26I have no idea.
20:28He walked out and went up to our room.
20:30He said it was a joke.
20:31I said, a joke.
20:34And he said he had a headache
20:35and he wanted to lie down.
20:38Do you know what he meant?
20:39No.
20:40Which one would you think was that whole point of secrets?
20:41Do you?
20:42I literally never met the guy's shit for brains.
20:44You seem tense.
20:45Shall I fix you a drink?
20:51So what happened then?
20:54I, um, I came downstairs.
20:57I think that was, that was the last time I spoke to him.
21:01And then Ruth found him.
21:03Right.
21:04Yeah.
21:04I wanted to, uh, to ask you about Tony's, uh, company.
21:08Well, it wasn't his.
21:10Ruth founded it.
21:12Um, Tony came on board later.
21:14Um, he was on a salary.
21:16Even the house came with the job.
21:19Do you know he was going to retire in three months' time?
21:21No.
21:22His life was just beginning.
21:30You said you came to see your mum.
21:32Yeah.
21:32See her get married.
21:37Just, uh, uh, unpack the history a bit for me, would you?
21:43Okay.
21:46They adopted me when I was two.
21:48Me and Monica, we got on.
21:52But we were just on different frequencies.
21:54And then they conceived Michael, and he got all her attention, all her energy.
22:00But that was okay, because I had Dad.
22:03But 12 years ago, he killed himself.
22:08And later I said some stuff, and sort of cut myself off from Monica and Michael.
22:15And then two months ago, I get an email from Tony, says him and Monica are getting married,
22:20and it would mean the world to her if I came, blah, blah.
22:22At first I was like, no way.
22:25Too much bad blood.
22:28But then...
22:29Step eight.
22:35Step eight got me on the plane.
22:37Step eight.
22:38But I chickened out, and I went to a restaurant.
22:41And do you need me to go into that?
22:43No, I think we have that covered.
22:47Your brother is a...
22:49a character.
22:53He's a chess grandmaster.
22:55Did you know that?
22:55No.
22:57But, to be fair, he wasn't the same after Dad died.
22:59He, um...
23:03He...
23:03Kind of.
23:11Good morning.
23:12Good morning.
23:12Barney?
23:13Is that for me?
23:14Yeah.
23:15Uh, okay, everyone, can we...
23:17Where is Ian?
23:18Can someone find Ian, please?
23:20Yes, boss.
23:21Uh, look, I just spoke to Tony's wife, Monica.
23:24No more secrets, we are none the wiser.
23:26But, uh, Nicola, the estranged daughter, she has turned up.
23:29Uh, she was meant to go to the wedding, but couldn't face it.
23:33Um, and look, in the spirit of complete transparency, I should probably mention I met her briefly at a restaurant
23:38last night.
23:40Yeah, I thought that would get your attention.
23:41Sorry.
23:43You met the victim's estranged stepdaughter in a restaurant last night?
23:47Yes.
23:47At the time, I didn't know that she was the victim's stepdaughter.
23:49Uh, at the time, Barney, I didn't know there was a victim.
23:51So, look, we chatted for morning at Monica's.
23:54There she was.
23:55How did your interview go?
23:56Don't worry about my interview.
23:57My interview was the stuff of legend.
23:59This thing with the daughter, is that a conflict of interest?
24:01No.
24:01It was a two-minute conversation, so no, nothing that would compromise my handling of the case.
24:05Okay, well, we should still check her out.
24:06What time was your tete-a-tete?
24:08Okay.
24:09I was there with someone else.
24:10Someone else?
24:11This is getting complicated.
24:13Do we need a diagram?
24:14And after that person left, I chatted with Nicola, so I think she was there at 9pm.
24:18Right, that sounds a lot longer.
24:19What restaurant was it?
24:20I'll ask for a CCTV just so we can eliminate her.
24:25Costalers.
24:25Uh, can someone do a background check on Michael Barton?
24:28Uh, he was volatile, he was argumentative, and his sister said there have been some mental health issues.
24:33So let's see if he's appeared anywhere on our radar.
24:36Uh, Cara, where are we with the murder weapon?
24:38It's from the hotel.
24:39The knife they used to cut the cake.
24:41So, there are dozens of prints on it.
24:44Uh, one other thing I learned from Monica.
24:46Tony's company.
24:47It's not Tony's company.
24:48It's his sister's.
24:49It's Ruth's.
24:50Uh, he was just on the payroll.
24:52Even his house was grace and favor.
24:53And he was retiring in three months.
24:55I'm going to go and talk to his now.
24:56Does anybody know what the company actually does?
24:58So, they're called family, uh, with a PH instead of an F. Uh, they're organic compounds.
25:03So, stuff found in nature with commercially available materials.
25:07Yeah.
25:08Uh, another wiser.
25:09Uh, what about Tony Salinger?
25:11What should we know?
25:11Clean as a whistle.
25:12All I could find was a, uh, car accident.
25:1515 years ago.
25:16La Rue de la Trinité.
25:18Ian, you're about to tell me you've got CCTV of someone sneaking into Tony's hotel room
25:23with a cake slicer.
25:23Uh, no, sorry.
25:25Um, but I might have something else.
